Comments

Works really well with Myth 0.21. A little schitzophrenic in its presentation, however.

  • If you select "videos" from the main menu, you're presented with everything that's been recorded from ALL groups (including live TV!) in what can only be described as an unsorted mess. The advantage is that if you highlight a show and hit the info button, you can retrieve full information on a recording (subtitle, description, file size, date recorded, etc). This view does not include items that were not recorded directly by that back-end.
  • If instead you (unintuitively) select "server" from the main menu, you're presented a hierarchical menu, starting with the choice of music, recordings, or videos.
    • Videos simply mirrors the video file system on the backend, but does not including recordings (similar to a full frontend). Sub-directories are dealt with sanely (show title of directory until you go into it, then show ONLY the contents of that directory).
    • Recordings allows your choice of how to group recordings by that back-end, whether by show title, show genere, channel number/callsign, or date recorded. However pushing the info button on a recording will bring up no information available about the recording.

Compatible with networks with more than one available UPnP server.
