Hi Joshua.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure why MythTV crashes during the database build, sorry.<br>
<br>
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* <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Personally, I don't use WMV. I'm a fan of MP3 ( I know, I know... shocked and apalled, whatever ).<br>
<br>
Anyway, I hope I've given you some idea.<br>
<br>

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Greetings, folks.... I'm a new user for Myth, ... I've been having
problems making play lists, per the faq, or other documentation I've read, and I
think I got it all.... :) It never comes up to ask me a file name, or
where to store it. I also can't seem to find what type of file is
compatible with Myth, I've already built play lists for my favorites, and would
like to use them</font></span></div>

second thing I've noticed, not sure what's going on here... but need some ideas
to go on.: I attempt to build the music database, it scans, works for a
while and crashes out of MythTv, back to my KnoppMyth desktop. In viewing
the logs, and referring to available memory it appears it is running out of
RAM. I'm thinking that's a though thing to do for Linux.

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I have
one other question, if I may.... is there a way to make music more dominant in
the system? I've already got a DVR on my Dish system, and don't quite want
to put this system in the living room. I also don't have any video capture
cards at the moment. Music is my main focus and hobby.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Oh,
and I have some 5300 + tracks, some are VBR, some aren't. Most of those
are in WMA format, if that makes any difference? ?! If it does, I'd
consider converting them, but would take a very long time. Probably go
FLAC if I did, or Ogg... not sure which is better. </font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I also
haven't found a way to change the ratings. All of my tracks were rated
with JR Media Center / Windows Media Player, they showed up in either, along
with music match. They refused to show in Ejukebox... Apparently now all
of my tracks are 5 stars ?? no, they shouldn't have been.....there are a fair
amount that should be 4, and quite a few in the three star range...

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Thanks
in advance for the assistance, and BTW: Great job on MythTv It's almost exactly
what I've been looking for since my conversion from win on this
machine.</font></span></div>
