[mythtv-users] Noob Question....

[Joshua Orr]

Thank you, Tim that is a good place to start at least I had my whole
collection in MP3 mostly, when a neighbor supposed fellow tech convinced me
that WMA was the better file compression than MP3.  In retrospect I wish I'd
done it in FLAC or OGG, but oh well such is life... Perhaps when I'm bored
and have everything the way I want it.  I'll hung up the script you
mentioned and take it from there.

Hi Joshua.

For you playlist question:  The playlists are stored in the MySQL database.
No file is saved.  Personally, I found Myth's implementation of playlist
generation a bit awkward.  I have all of my music on my linux box and use
Winamp ( on a windows PC ) to generate playlists in M3U format.  There's a
script floating around called 'm3u2myth.pl' that will insert an M3U playlist
into the MySQL database.

I'm not sure why MythTV crashes during the database build, sorry.

I'm not sure what you mean by "making music more dominant", but you modify
the menus however you want.  Just copy the XML files you wish to change (
e.g. mainmenu.xml ) to your ~/.mythtv folder and edit it to your hearts
content.  I removed things I didn't need.  You might want to remove
everthing but music.  *shrugs* 

I'm also not familiar with the ratings system but I there is a field called
"rating" in the musicmetadata MySQL table.  You would probably have to
re-rate all of your music.

Personally, I don't use WMV.  I'm a fan of MP3 ( I know, I know... shocked
and apalled, whatever ).

Anyway, I hope I've given you some idea.

^^Deon:  Joshua's messaged popped up as a main thread for me.  *shrugs*
