Used Gentoo Howto wiki and forums to get my system up and running.
Everything is working beautifully except for some intermittent hiccups, such
as errors about unable to access /dev/dsp and jittery video. I can't
pinpoint when it actually occurs.
Now to my main questions:
1) I need help in customizing the lcddevice.cpp messages that are used for
the LCD. I am not a programmer, and I believe that is my biggest drawback. I
would like to try and use the examples used in MythLCD. I really like the
waving graph used in the music playback example.
2) Would like to use the red hard drive led on the case to show when the
system is recording or a remote button is pressed by connecting it to the
GPO of the LCD. I saw some code for this to be used on an XBOX. How can I
enable this for a PC.
3) I would also like to figure out how to use internet radio via MythTV. I
saw that someone is already working on a module. Hopefully there is a patch
that can be temporarily used until the module is completed.
This is a great project and I am glad to finally have an install that works
totally with hardware encoding and decoding working properly.
