| − | = Introduction =
| |
| − | '''MTD''' ( Myth Transcoding Daemon ) is part of the [[MythDVD]] plugin. Transcoding ("ripping") a DVD requires you to run the Myth Transcoding Daemon (mtd).
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Testing =
| |
| − | To ensure that mtd is configured correctly, you should first test it at the command line.
| |
| − | | |
| − | $ mtd -n
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last line of text should show something like:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mtd is listening on port 2342
| |
| − | | |
| − | This indicates that mtd is ready for use. Once you've successfully tested mtd in the foreground, type CTRL-C to stop mtd. You may then start it as a background (daemon) process.
| |
| − | | |
| − | $ mtd -d
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Installation =
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have your system set up to run mythbackend upon boot, a good way to start mtd is to do so in the same place that you autostart other programs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Fedora Core ==
| |
| − | On Fedora Core using [[ATrpms]] mythtv-suite, you can easily setup the MTD to load at startup with the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | echo "/usr/bin/mtd --daemon" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
| |
| − | | |
| − | == openSUSE 11.1 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | See instructions at [[Installing MTD in openSUSE 11.1]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Other ==
| |
| − | On other distributions it might be required to run 'which mtd' to find the correct path.
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Configuration =
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Temporary Files ==
| |
| − | Temporary files for the transcode will be stored in /var/lib/mythdvd/temp/ so be sure that that directory exists and that there is enough room on that partition to store a full DVD rip which can be up to 8 gigabytes. If this is not the case, choose a new location in:

| − | = transcode =
| |
| − | If you are converting a DVD at the "good" setting, you are converting from mpeg2, to mpeg4 (xvid) internally mtd uses the [http://www.transcoding.org/ transcode program].

| − | = Forwarding MythFrontend to a remote MTD =
| |
| − | While MythFrontend and MTD communication occur over a TCP connection to localhost (127.0.0.1), there is not a way to easily reconfigure this behavior. However, you can simply configure a port forward using xinetd to redirect traffic to any other IP address running MTD. This is potentially useful in the situation when it is preferred to rip a DVD on a dedicated backend server, where no mythfrontend is running but control the MythFrontend GUI from elsewhere.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Configure '''xinetd''' to redirect MTD ==
| |
| − | The easiest way to achieve this behavior is to simply employ xinetd. Xinetd will bind to a local port, and can be configured to forward to another IP address and port number. The default port for mtd is '''2442'''. (However, this can be reconfigured in the MythFrontend settings)
| |
| − | | |
| − | To configure xinetd, simply place a file with the below contents in the directory '''/etc/xinetd.d/mtd-redirect''' Change the IP address and port number with the proper values of the mtd backend you wish to control.
| |
| − | # default: on
| |
| − | # description: forward connections to 192.168.1.2:2442
| |
| − | service mtd
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | socket_type = stream
| |
| − | wait = no
| |
| − | user = root
| |
| − | redirect = 192.168.1.2 2442
| |
| − | bind = 127.0.0.1 # only listen on localhost
| |
| − | only_from = 127.0.0.1 # only connect from localhost
| |
| − | log_on_failure += USERID
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | | |
| − | Next, you must configure '''/etc/services''' with a new entry for the mtd service. Append the following line to the bottom of the file. Again, change the port number as needed.
| |
| − | mtd 2442/tcp # Mythtv MTD service
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lastly, you must restart xinetd
| |
| − | /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''NOTE:''' If you are running IPtables on your mythbackend, make sure to open up port '''2442''' to your mythfrontendsDatabase tables that configure MTD ==
| |
| − | Tables that configure mtd are part of the [[:Category:DB Table]]:
| |
| − | * [[Dvdinput_table|dvdinput]]
| |
| − | * [[Dvdtranscode_table|dvdtranscode]]

Outdated: Due to outstanding issues, and the lack of time necessary to perform needed conversion to use Storage Groups, MTD has been removed from the 0.24 release of MythTV.
