[mythtv-users] Myth Ideas

[Jeff Mottishaw]

heck if you're going to have all this, might as well throw in:

MythOffice - for that document you just dont want to get off the couch to
type

MythAccounting - balance your chequebook while watching the financial report

MythGAIM - why settle for IRC when you can have msn, icq, aim, yahoo,
jabber, etc

my thoughts are that you shouldn't move too far away from the remote, or
else you're just going back to being a computer... and not a pvr

>>lists.  I'd like to hear feedback on the different ideas or
>>stimulate some development on these, if anyone has started
>>something similar to these projects let me know as well.  One
>>of these days I'm going to set aside a bit of time to code one
>>or two of these up for my mythbox.
>>
>>MythEmail
>> - email reader, imap or pop ... use libimap ?
>> - popup OSD option for TV module
>> - can use it within the TV module like the recording menu,
>>i.e. be able to read/compose email while watching tv in top
>>right hand corner of the interface
>>
>>MythAnsweringMachine
>> - I've seen some discussion about this but no work yet has been done
>> - frontend for vgetty/mgetty?
>> - option to email you when someone leaves a message
>>
>>MythBrowser
>> - very simple web browser integrated with the TV module, i.e.
>>surf and watch TV at same time
>> - probably pretty easy to do since QT has a lot of this
>>functionality already.
>>
>>MythDVDDatabase
>> - this would be a nice option to add to the MythDVD module
>> - be able to add movies in your collection to the database
>>and retrieve the IMDB info as well
>> - option to export or put on the web, publish web page for
>>your database
>> - can input UPC code, look it up on the web like the cuecat
>>software has
>> - integrate a barcode reader if you have one or use your
>>webcam as a barcode reader... this would be a very simple
>>vision algorithm to implement
>>
>>MythP2P
>> - a peer-to-peer client for other mythtv users so we can
>>share files and add them to our database properly
>> - i.e. sharing tv shows, music, movies, pictures etc...
>>
>>MythKaraoke
>> - a karaoke module could be added to mythmusic, this would be cool
>>
>>
>>Any other ideas are welcomed
