Aha. If I want to test it myself I suppose I could start building MythTV for linux on this laptop, but at that point maybe I should give up on the Mac port and buy another linux box for this purpose :( I'm beginning to wonder if using MacOS for MythTV is such a hot idea in the first place, as there seem to be important parts of the system that would need to be ported. Several features like mythbrowser, transcode, mythmusic, mythgame, and mythphone, (and, I presume, upcoming DVD burning(?), which is important to me), seem to rely on linux specifics, and I guess it's going to be nontrivial to port those to MacOS. I really like the idea of a MacOS MythTV appliance, but not if it's going to be a full-time job to get there. Is anyone else motivated to get these things ported? Just wondering whether there is likely to be much momentum around a more comprehensive MacOS port or if I'm mostly alone in the wilderness... -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
