The other problem is that Myth will be expecting a channel line up (but you can always assign a "channel" number to the input) and a TV listing (this is the bad thing).</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV> How can I do this?!<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>No clue. There's always the old Myth adage: get it working outside of Myth first. So, make sure you can capture from the video devices BEFORE you try getting them integrated into Myth.</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV> I am having a lot of problems because I dont have any TV card, this could influence the normal work of mythTV ?!</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><DIV>Well, Myth's purpose was to work TV cards. What do you mean "the normal work of MythTV"? What exactly are you trying to do? What on Earth are these "Pixar" devices? Whenever I Google for them, all I get is information on the film company, or random gibberish. Are you trying to capture video for use as a security system? Because if that's the trick, there are better ways to go about it. If you're trying to use these "Pixar" devices as TV capture inputs for use with Myth, then you're probably on the wrong track. Basically: We need more info on what you want to accomplish.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Other question is that I try to change the IP address to something like <A href="http://192.168.10.10">192.168.10.10</A>, and I want to run the frontend in other PC via web...is that possible?! Like writting <A href="http://192.168.10.58:6543/"> http://192.168.10.58:6543/</A>, but this is not working...</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">Well, MythTV <I>was</I> meant to allow a separated front-end/back-end architecture. I assume when you say "via web" you mean over the Internet. This is pretty much impossible. Myth expects all machines to be on the same subnet. Also, it's highly unlikely that you'll ever be able to pull enough bandwidth over the internet to allow for streaming video at multiple megabits per second. If you mean over a LAN, then there shouldn't be any problem</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I have spotted one big problem, though. "<A href="http://192.168.10.58:6543">http://192.168.10.58:6543</A>" is all wrong. You can't use a front-end in a web browser. You have to install a front end on the machine you're trying to use. There's a pre-compiled version of MythFrontend for Mac OS X (I don't think it works with Intel Macs yet), there's the obvious solution for Linux, and there's now TapeWorm for Windows users. Also, the two IP addresses you give don't match. Don't know if that's a typo, or what.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Try re-reading all of the MythTV documentation, checking out the MythTV Wiki, and the MythTV page at the Wikipedia. You might be able to find some answers there.</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Serge Nunes.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">mythtv-users mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
