Why not have a single back end with lightweight front ends for the additional TV's? You may be complicating things more than you need to.<br><br>-Pete<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/26/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I apologize in advance if this has been covered before, but I am looking<br>for some current/up-to-date input.<br><br>Background:<br>I have successfully gotten MythTV up and running on one system. It is<br>both the backend and the front end. I moved the MySQL database off of
<br>this system and on to a central server in the house (it performs a<br>number of other duties and is backed up nightly). Music & Photos are<br>NFS mounted off of the same central server.<br><br>Goal:<br>To have multiple MythTV systems (2, maybe three), one for each
<br>television, with each system having access to the same store of<br>recordings. In other words, if System1 records a television show, and,<br>later in the day, we're sitting at System2, we can watch the show that<br>System1 recorded. For that matter, if we were sitting at System1, we
<br>could also watch that show. This is sort of a long range goal seeing as<br>I just got the first system up. :) All systems will have recording<br>capability. My hope is to have one system (my backup server) be the<br>
primary data storage location (with lots of disk space) for Videos and<br>recordings.<br><br>So.. here's my question: what is the best way to get to the goal? I<br>realize that only one system should be updating the guide data
<br>(mythfilldatabase). I would have the central server perform this task,<br>but I'm not sure just how easy that would be to do. Besides, it<br>probably isn't worth the effort. Should I just NFS mount the "video"
<br>directory directory off of the main server? This would probably be fine<br>for imported DVD's (Movies), but will it be ok for scheduled recordings?<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list
