I have a hidden MythTV box. The wife was pissed at my collection of homebuilt amps and cables all over the place so I replaced most of it with a MythTV box and moved this, along with my power amp, to a custom built cabinet under the floor (timber frame house). The only problem that I have with this is that the DVD drive is of course no longer accessible. (To get to my Myth box I literally have to go outside, around the side of the house and open the cabinet with a deadlock key)
The last component that I have inside (sitting on top of the TV) is a DVD player. I would like to get rid of this as well and was wondering if anyone out there in MythTV land has come across a similar situation?
I have another Linux box (the house server in another room) which does my firewall, mail server etc and I was thinking that I could perhaps setup a script on this machine and an NFS share (or similar) so that if we go to the video store we could put the disk into this machine and rip it into the Myth machine.
My Myth box runs a Hauppauge PVR-350 and given my experiences with the current framebuffer drivers I am leaning towards leaving it using the hardware decoder as it does now.
My questions therefore are :
Any ideas?
Regards Marty
