[mythtv-users] Is MythTV the right tool for the job?

[Don Krause]

I've been interested in build a DVD library, streamer, and after
discovering MythTV, I figured I build a Myth Box, build and use the
MythDVD plugin, and life would be good.

A week later, after fighting constantly with the the prerequesites for
MythDVD, like ffmpeg, I'm wondering if I've choosen the correct tool
for the job.

What I'm interested in, is:

  Be able to burn my DVD collection to a streaming media server.
  Have a HTPC at my TV.
  Have On Screen menus for selecting DVDs
  Have the ability to schedule "broadcasting" or a playlist of shows.
  Retain the 5.1 or greater sound capabilities.

What I really don't need is:

  The ability to record in any way, TV.  

I already can extract DVDs to disk, and play them via VLC. I'm just
looking for a nice menu / scheduler / streamer package to wrap around
that.

Is there something out there I should be looking at instead of Myth?
Or is Myth still the best choice.

Thanks for any info.
