[mythtv] Heads-up

[tarek Lubani]

I have my system setup to play DVDs using xine.. I think that making some 
RPMs available of the XINE stuff required to play DVDs will be the best / 
only way to go.. The main reason for this is that most of the DVD-playback 
stuff is illicit. As for DivX playback, that shouldn't be too hard.. again, 
this could use xine with a basic command line.. The only real issue from 
there would be incorporating xine into the myth baseset (buttons, etc)..

Xine is just a front-end to something or the other.. One feasible solution 
might be to have this MythVideo module be a frontend to that same engine.. 
this would make things quite a bit easier, and could even rely on the db 
for some of the settings..

As for the settings module, If you could maybe pay a little bit of 
attention to trying to "modularize" this thing so that people could easily 
create / throw in other setup modules into the larger whole (much like 
mythtv allows other modules).. For example, I have a huge interest in 
creating some sort of module that helps one control the satellite..

thoughts?
