Introduction

Once MythTV has been setup there are a few options to allow playback of TV recordings from the Windows platform.

Options

  • MythTv Player - MythTv Player is a free and simple Myth client and player for Windows.
  • XBMC Xbox media center is now available on windows, and can play recordings and live tv.

The following require Samba shares setup to view recordings

  • Tapeworm - TapeWorm is a "parasitic" Windows front end for MythTV
note tapeworm doesn't work with multiple Storage pools and project is not active anymore

Samba setup
