[mythtv-users] alternatives to mythmusic?

[Garth Benedict]

I can second http://www.mp3act.net/ as a GREAT solution.  If I remember the
issue with getting the jukebox working is a permissions issue.  I added the
following to my sudoers and made the mp3act call sudo for the kill and play
commands.


apache  ALL = NOPASSWD: \
    /usr/bin/mpg123, /bin/kill
