Iam looking to build the ultimate home media server/pvr. A few things have been a little vague and I wanted to ask here.
The backend will be in the basement, it will have 4 twinhan DBV-S pci cards allowing for 4 recordings at once. HD storage will be done with 4 terabyte sata HD's. 2 TB raids.
There will be 3 remote frontends locally in my house. Which will all be done with Gigabit switches, actual built in GB lan cards and cat-6 cable.
That part I have pretty much confirmed will work. (Any comments??)
What I would like to know is.....
1. Will mythweb allow remote viewing over the internet in a browser somewhat like a slingbox?
2. Will I be able to schedule recordings, delete recordings from a mythtv frontend? This is my likely set up based on research.
My frontend of choice will be a P3 900 MHZ with 100% passive cooling and a 1 gig "flash" hard drive for actual local booting but no local media storage (all that's done on backend) and a DVD-RW drive. Software will be mythbuntu.
3. Can I control the frontends Solely with a remote control? Or do I need a keyboard?
4. Dvd ripping. Let's say I go one of my mythtv frontends. And load a dvd. Can I rip it to the server from there? Can I burn a copy of it once its ripped on another frontend machine.
5. Will I be able to burn a music playlist to a cd from a frontend machine?
6. Will it be reliable??
There will be many more questions to follow but this is a start.
Thanks in advance
