Is anybody working on a port of the MythTV front end to a Nokia 770?
I'm considering it. Well, not a frontend port, but more of a smart remote
application. The thing doesn't really have the CPU to display normally
recorded video from Myth.
Do you plan to include scheduling recordings, browsing the EPG and stuff
like that in the desing? Through the web browser or as a real hildon
application?
I have been thinking of using the 770 as a smart remote for the mvpmc,
as I don't have a frontend computer near the TV. It would be great if
the scheduling functionality was done directly with myth itself. I think
I could also find some time to contribute to this.
The 770 is actually capable to display MPEG-4 video, as it has
DSP-accelerated decoder for it. You just have to transcode to
low-resolution MPEG-4 first. The device comes with a pre-installed
trailer of the Ice Age, which looks pretty good. I wouldn't watch a
movie through the small screen, but for previews it should be ok.
Perhaps one could be fit a whole movie to a 512 MB memory card and watch
it on the road.
