[mythtv-users] Myth on a Laptop

[junk at edgarchen.com]

If you're just using your laptop as a media file storage, why install Myth?
Just copy your movies and TV shows onto your laptop and use mplayer to view
them.

Otherwise, the frontend will always look to connect with the backend, its
just how Myth was designed to work.  Without installing a backend on your
laptop, your frontend won't work.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Myth on a Laptop

I am setting up mythtv to use on my laptop so that I can import shows
I've recorded and videos I have to take with me when I travel.

I have myth all set up, but I cannot connect to the master backend on
ip 127.0.0.1. I don't have any tuner cards, and don't need any, I just
want to be able to take what I have on my home system with me
periodically.

Anyone else doing a similar setup and can offer any tips or tricks to
make this work well?

Thanks.
