[mythtv-users] Intel Mac Mini, FC6, Myth0.20

[Nathan Harris]

Have you tired the MythTV frontend under OS X yet?

This runs on my iMac, but will kill my KnoppMyth backend when choosing 
live tv without leaving a trace in the system log.  I'm not sure what is 
going on and it's hard to debug with no evidence except the lack of the 
backend process running.  But, the mac remote with built-in IR works on 
the iMac under the OS X build.  I'm not sure if the Mini has built-in IR 
or not.
