I asked this question in March 2005, and I finally decided to do something about getting mythtv up.
Anyway, I want a replacement/alternative to freevo and thus I looking at mythtv. The thing is, I don't want any recording capability(yet) and would only want to use it as a frontend. I use Gentoo and I compiled mythtv-0.18 with the "frontendonly" flag and when it's done, each time I try to execute mythtv-setup or mythfrontend, I get thrown into a setup screen to put my mysql db particulars. Do I really need it? I don't have mysql started cos I don't plan on using it at all. Is it possible to run a frontend only that plays my list of DVDs/Avi/rmvb etc without mysql? It's a front-end, I don't want to have mysql if it's not needed. Possible? (Or does myth use mysql to store all the shows and what not?)
