Talk:Installing MythTV on RHEL/CentOS

p41, please don't rewrite this page completely. There is not need to duplicate the entire install process when its nearly identical to fedora. I wrote this page to point out the differences between Fedora and Cent/EL. ~mitchell2345

Broken links?

Can't find http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-package-config-119-2.el5.i386.rpm

Perhaps the repository has changed the naming conventions, the closest I could find was

http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable/atrpms-package-config-120-3.el5.x86_64.rpm

Likewise

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-package-config-119-2.el5.x86_64.rpm

Can someone please clarify?

Yup, changed links. i updated with new links --Mitchell 15:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

After installing MythTV 0.22 on a new CentOS 5.4 build, I came across a few issues that were not covered in either this CentOS page nor the Fedora page:

- Lirc installed via yum would not work for my MCE Remote.

- After building Lirc manually, it would not work in MythTV until I changed the LircSocket setting from /var/run/lirc/lircd to /dev/lircd (within the frontend settings).

- The sound could not be adjusted until I changed the mixer device within the frontend settings.

These may sound like generic problems, but I used this same hardware for my Fedora 6 / MythTV 0.21 installation, without getting these issues, making me think it is a CentOS thing (I could be wrong).

Should these tips go in here?

RHEL 6.0 Beta 2

MythTV 0.24 running with firewire support and LIRC Required the download of FC12 source packages and a recompile for many MANY packages, If anyone wants a package list I can try.. Havent got Miro working yet, expect the EPEL guys to get around to that eventually

Mythweb and many other issues resolved bt moving to 0.23-fixes Firewire stable with 2 firewire cards, one for the DCT6200 in broadcast and one for the DCT3200 in peer mode Miro 2.5.2 is now working on RHEL6b2, waiting for 3.0.3 to hit EPEL
