I have tried Myth TV and it keeps changing my screen resolution, and taking
over the entire computer screen. I don't want to dedicate the computer to
be a PVR/DVR.
Wether it runs full screen or windowed is a selectable option in the setup
for the frontend.
I also couldn't get it to watch Live TV from a window on the
computer when running Myth TV.
mythtv is two pieces, the backend which controls tuner cards, maintains
the channel metadata and managed reocordings and a front end which
displays video captured by the backend served off disk and displays the
channel guide. live video is actually encoded in real-time and served from
the backend to the front-end.
Unless I have something missconfigured. I
couldn't see half of the menu on the LCD monitor that I would be viewing the
TV programs on.
I have run the MythTV setup and followed the instuctions listed in the sites
listed above.
I did find a record-tv.sh script that accesses file from xwatv but it errors
out with:
no way to get: 320x240 MJPEG (AVI)
Oops: fifo is 1 (expected 0) [common/fifo.c:fifo_check:139]
I would like to view the TV programs on the computer, or another computer
connected on the network. I would like to record the files to copy to
another computer or play them on the computer it was recorded on.
