[mythtv-users] MythTV newbie

[Yan Seiner]

I just got MythTV installed.   [NEWBIE ALERT] I've been running a player 
of my own that works, but it's getting a bit stale and I really don't 
want to rebuild it if I don't have to....

Here's what I have:

about 100 movies or so, stored on a central server.  Movies fall into 2 
categories, kids and parents.  Unauthenticated users don't get access to 
the parent movies.

A bunch of games of all sorts, from Tuxracer to games in Czech and Japanese.

LIRC, set up and configured.

DVD-ROM.

A central server running MySQL.

Here's what I don't have:

TV input of any kind.

Right now, I've build a kiosk that brings up a browser with movie 
stills.  Click on a still, mpalyer plays the movie. Idiot (and child) proof.

Where do I need to start with MythTV to remove (really, not show) all of 
the TV funcionality and to display all of my movies?

Is there a migraiton how-to somewhere? (Assume I'm an experienced Linux 
admin and programmer, but I have very little time to get MythTV up and 
running.  I'd really like to have a polished viewer ready before the 
grandparents come for thanksgiving, and I will be out of town for an 
entire week on business before then....)

Thanks,

--Yan
