Re: [mythtv-users] Setting up MythTV in a wierd way ...

[M. Barnabas Luntzel]

before you get too deep in this, and maybe I dont know about sun blades  
(definitely dont know much) but is this a sun machine with SPARC  
processor(s)? Has anybody installed this mess on a sun sparc, maybe  
sparc linux (solaris seems unlikely)? if there are success stories of  
mythtv on sun hardware, I will be pleasantly surprised.

then again maybe you just want to process the video files on this box.  
still do not see how you'll get this stuff to run. under x86 emulation,  
its going to be dog ass slow (which is pretty slow).

Greetings peoples ... I'm really new at MythTV but I've been tracking
its
progress for some time. My question has to do making a really weird
setup.
System one: 4 tuner cards, records and encodes shows and transfers  
them
to
fileserver
System two: File server, this will hold the MythTV backend and dish  
out
files to all the frontends.
System 3-N: MythTV frontends

What we really want is for SysOne to cache the files to its  
harddrives
then
transfer them to SysTwo.
Is this doable or should we just try to put it all on one system?
Thanks
Bear Paw
I'm not quite clear what the goal is, just to use 1 machine as the
backend and have it write to a file server?  You can do that by using
NFS, why do you want to cache it first?  I'm not sure if it is
possible to do the cacheing, but it might be possible using rsync or
something similiar.
