From MythTV Official Wiki
Nasa is a nomad. When at home, wherever his hat is, he likes to fiddle with linux (especially enlightenment), fix his pond, and/or watch sports. I have dabbled in some code...
My main goal when building my system was to create a HTPC. Specific features I am going for (and their status) are:
- 1. STD PVR -- Works
- 2. HD PVR -- Needs Help
-- I don't have means of getting HD content into myth (as of yet) my HD3250 has never provided content over firewire and I have had no luck getting HD content into my 5500 via cable. I am looking at getting a new box from Comcast. And possibly adding an OTA antenna.
- 3. Play Music -- Works
- 4. Play DVD -- Works
- 5. Play Video files -- Works
- 6. Play Games
-- MAME, Works -- Linux native games, Works -- Still working on SNES games
- 7. Control system via 1 remote -- Needs more work
-- 880 needs some more tweaking to get it like I want, will post results when done.
- 8. Play games via wireless gamepad -- Needs more work
-- more work by me needs to be done.
