Hello -- relatively new user, first posting.
I've been reading the MythTV discussion archives for part of the day today and there
is a lot of discussion about this distro or that distro and getting things to work
with XYZ, etc.
I was wondering if anyone had considered putting together a MythTV distro that
installs onto a machine with as much info pre-configured as possible?
I'm sure that many people, myself included, are thinking of using Myth as a
stand-alone PVR solution. It would be wonderful to have an ISO image that I can
plop onto a machine and have most of the installation and compilation done ahead of
time by an experienced professional. (Or someone who got it working well enough. :)
There could be three flavors: MythFull which contains the frontend, backend, and
database and is a "complete" solution, MythFront which would contain the front end
and be positioned as a "player-only" set-top box image, and MythBack which would
contain the back-end programs necessary to serve video out to the players.
Any thoughts? Has there been any previous discussion of this topic that a newbie
such as myself may have missed?
Thanks in advance...
Matt
