Q: How do I import recordings from other sources into Myth?
In the contrib folder of the MythTV sources, there is a script named myth.rebuilddatabase.pl which takes an "--ext" command-line option followed by a file extension. This will prompt the script to search for those files that match the extension and prompt you for information about them to import them into the database along-side your existing recordings.
Q: Are there any Debian packages for MythTV?
Yes! Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.conf
- Mythtv for Sarge
deb http://www.ecliptik.com/debian stable mythtv
- Mplayer and Lame from Marillat (required dependencies)
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main deb-src ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat sarge main
Then run (as root) apt-get update
and then apt-get install mythtv
