With new wireless support for Pandora, I'd love to see MythTV ported to Pandora. There are a number of libraries requred to get it working, but the setup and application would work wonderfully as a pair of applications, and it should be possible to package MythTV 20.2 for Pandora.

I have 3 mythfrontends in my house and it's incredible.

Any thoughts on getting this running? I'd get Pandora in a heartbeat if it were ported.

EDIT: D'Oh! looks like this is already being discussed. Here's for a full MythTV install, rather than just a video viewer...

USB tuner, maybe.


I'm thinking mythtvfrontend only. My mythtvbackend is a Athlon 3600+ with a 900GB RAID5 array on the other end of a wireless connection :)

The real question is will it play MPEG2 streams on the order of 5000kbits/s?

Is it x86 only for the backend? I thought the frontend basically needs Qt and mplayer...

MythTV frontend would put Pandora over the top instead of the EEE for me...

Theres an alternative solution called mythtv player. It was only a windows based frontend player, but someone was able to put it to linux. It requires a number of libs, but if the debian arm plan works out as expected it may be wasily ported.
I think it would be easier to get working than the frontend.

I *really* like mythfrontend's interface though. It works really well on my HDTV when I use my logitech wireless gamepad to select the menus.. I can't see why it can't be ported. It would go nicely with the other 4 mythfrontends I have in my house right now. :)

Consider that MythTV's MythVideo module plays videos off a central server nicely. It could be a killer app for the console.

Hmm.. Perhaps I'll have to give that port a go myself if no-one else is interested... :)

At first it was, however it runs on PowerPC and now, ARM!
