party apps" page so great little programs like this dont get lost in the
frey?

> What is it?
>
> MythViewer is a little program that lets you browse the
> database of recorded programs (both current and old) on a
> MythTV backend server. You can delete programs from either
> or both the current and old recorded database tables. When
> you delete a program from the current recordings, the .nuv
> and .png files are also deleted from the MythTV data
> directory.
>
> MythViewer also lets you watch programs by invoking mplayer
> on the .nuv file. When mplayer exits, you will be given the
> option of deleting the program.
>
> Why is it?
>
> I wrote MythViewer for a number of reasons:
>
> * I wanted to watch progams on my laptop, and the MythTV
> frontend requires too much horsepower to run on that
> machine. Mplayer and an NFS mounted .nuv file worked
> fine, but knowing which .nuv file to play was
> problematic.
> * I wanted to watch programs in a window while I did
> other stuff on the same computer. The MythTV frontend
> just isn't designed to run in a window on a "normal"
> X11 desktop with a mouse.
> * I wanted a quick and easy way to delete things from the
> both the current "recorded" and deleted-but-remembered
> "oldrecorded" tables.
> * I wanted a way to browse the recorded programs that was
> quick, easy and displayed more information than is
> easily shown by the MythTV front end.
