Hi, Despite the posting on the MythTV wiki saying that "MythTV is a project by developers, for developers.", I would like to make two suggestions regarding features that I think would be nice additions to MythTV:
1 ) DVD burning on the frontend. I know that most of you use nuv2disc for this, but it does not fit very nice into the frontend concept of QT based MythTV. Also, I have had trouble getting it to display properly in a PVR-350 with a display of < 800x400. There are some scripts in the Mythburn package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythburn/) that I have been able to patch for Gentoo (http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mythburn&start=15) but this is for Mythweb only. There is an embryo for a frontend gui in the CVS, but I get the feeling that it will never finnish.. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge in QT will be able to fix a gui for the scritpts ? I like the scripts alot, but there is something strange with having to fire up a second computer to burn comfortably on the first one... 2) The second one is more like a restructuring of old functionality. When you have you're MythTV wakeup using the BIOS, you use an external program in order to set the wakeup time. The way I have understood it, this is done by the backend server wehn shutting down. The back side to this is that if you computer freezes, the startup time will not be set, and you will have to start the computer up and shut it down once again for the information to be stored. My thought is that it would be better if the BIOS programming part would be done at the same time as the programme schedueling, e.g. when you schedule a program for recodring that starts before all the previously schedules, the startup time is stored. Also, when a recording starts, the startup time should be moved to the starting time of the next recording, and so on.. Plese, tell me what you think. /Fredrik -- My Gentoo + PVR-350 + IVTV + MythTV blog is on http://gentoomythtv.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
