Re: [mythtv-users] re: Knoppmyth only for frontend?
I went ahead and tried knoppmyth the other night!!! Almost flawless. It connected just fine and i was able to watch my precious Simpsons. However When i Tried to view live TV it said all the tuners were being used. (but they weren't) even restarting the backend didn't fix it. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

That would be nice not just for people mounting the nuv directories over samba/nfs, but for general debugging and other stuff. There is a script in the contrib directory that will create user friendly names and there is also a windows program that will browse the databsae and display the normal descriptions for playback.
