I have set up a simple MythTv configuration, one backend and one
frontend on a single machine. I only want to view over-the-air HD and I
have successfully set up MythTv to do just that. My problems are in
starting Mythtv and Recording.
Now to start it I use two terminal windows one to start the backend and
one to start the frontend. Is there a way to have the backend start
automatically when the frontend is started? ... And shutdown when the
frontend is stopped?
Also what parts of mythtv have to be running for a recording to start
(just the backend)?
I am not using any internet video sources and will program manual
recordings only. This brings the next question.
I made a manual recording and gave it a name "NASCAR". The recording was
started and stopped on time. But in my recording directory, there was no
file containing the name. All files were named with date/time. I did
not see how to play the recording from within the frontend. How is that
done? It played fine with Totem.
Most of the time, I would like to place the recording on a DVD to watch
at another location. How is that done? All the video in the mythtv
video directory are .mpg files.
I am use a PCtv 800i dual tuner capture card.
