[mythtv-users] MythTV and ISOs?

[Andrew Palm]

Darn, that wasn't what they wanted to hear...

I haven't got my myth setup fully working yet, still playing and hacking it
so I couldn't test it for them.

They have a large number (~100's of ISO'S!!! Crazy I know) so doing a local
loopback isn't a nice way of doing it, and doesn't have the WAF (wife
acceptance factor) as well, by using only the remote and a TV.

I'm sure it could be built in (I'm not saying to do it, just staying it
could be done when a dev person needs this feature) so it reads the info
from the ISO name and then mounts it and plays it via the gui. Saves having
100s of ISOs open and mounted.

Hmmm thinking about it, it could be done, but it would mean leaving all the
ISOs mounted and 'open' which isn't a nice way of doing it and adding new
ones in would mean manually entering them into the system, creating the
loopback and dir system etc.

Thanks

Andrew
