Hi Experts,
I'(coming from the world of DOS, GEM, Win and so on.) d like to build a NAS/HTPC combi as a headless server in the basement of my house using some elderly hardware on stock.
During the last month of almost exclusive dedication, I figured out, that a combination of Android/Win7-laptop remotely controlled XBMC (Frontend), Mythtv (front- + backend mostly for live TV + timeshift) and Openmediavault (NAS) for data synchro with the other Windows-machines in my VPNned lan between Austria and Germany would be the appropriate choice for me.
I've been fighting with FreeNAS, NAS4free and I'm convinced, that OMV is a super solution - congratulations to the team!!!
As I was diving into OMV I found the VDR-plugin, but could not make it talk to XBMC.
Fighting with console and VPN-Desktop in parallel on my laptop, I have installed Mythbuntu sucessfully on an old P4 in the basement and even made it to connect xbmc frontends + Android in my lan. Perfect!
Afterwards I have sucessfully installed Debian wheezy in a different partition and openmediavault (NAS) and Mythtv on top (even VPN is working).
I feel definitivly unable to configure all the nice addons starting with Mythweb or the lan-streaming plugin (export?) as a 3 weeks day and night linux newbee.
Neither would I like to invest weeks of efforts for every new update arising in the future.
Mythtv without -buntu: I have been struggeling with different datasets(1307/1375?) on the backend solving by just changing the SQL to 1307 not solving the dataset mismach with XBMC??? and mythweb is just an empty page with 2 nicely coloures stripes at the botom... Positively: Front-+Backend are running on the same P4-PC producing live tv pictures!
Now my questions:
Has anybody already installeb Myth backend as a plugin within OMV?
Has anybody already installed the Mythbuntu control center and init system on a wheezy system?
I think, this integration of the different components of Mythtv could be the missing link for my solution.
I'm aware that it sounds more like a challenge from the Myth side and I have posted a similar one on their forum but for me both packages (NAS + TV) are equally important.
Thanks a lot for your advise
Regards Thomas
(Sorry for my german english..)
PS: if I can't get it figured out, plan "B" will be a mythbuntu + samba solution
