[mythtv-users] Thoughts on a Stats Reporting Module

[Josh Burks]

I know Tivo does this, not sure about ReplayTV. I think it would be nice 
if MythTV had a stats reporting feature. I wouldn't have to be extra 
fancy (e.g. Tivo keep stats on button presses! I think the Super Bowl / 
Janet Jackson clip take the cake on the most times the "rewind" button 
was pressed!), just something to keep track of the most watched/recorded 
channel, show, episode, movie, etc. It could even keep track of kernel 
versions and distro versions, and we could all see at a glance which is 
the most popular flavor of linux is running our Myth boxes.

I don't think this would be hard to implement on the client side, just 
some sort of daily script (Cron job?) that scanned the db for recording 
names, channels, etc, and sent the stats to a master server. The server 
side implementation would collect the data, parse it into a db, and post 
it to a webpage.

FYI: before someone replies back and says "Gee, that sounds like a good 
project for you to take on", I just want to let you know that I'm WAY to 
busy, and trust me, I'd like to do this, I just have no free time right now.
