Not really. I manage computers via scripts, as I have too many of<br>
them, so I install Ubuntu on all and then customize.<br>
<br>
I finally had some progress, thanks to everyone, after blowing away<br>
everything, including all mysql.txt, ~*/.mythtv, etc and finally<br>
figuring out the proper logon credentials and grant statement that<br>
finally worked.</blockquote><div><br>Glad to hear you got things working<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
So I have MythTV installed and giving me the menu. So now I have to<br>
figure out what to do with it.<br>
<br>
I would like to make it work with hdhomerun (which I have and already<br>
love and watch via VLC).</blockquote><div><br>the hdhomerun is one of the most popular devices and should work out of the box. Check out the mythtv wiki for more specific info: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Silicondust_HDHomeRun">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Silicondust_HDHomeRun</a>, or there are plenty of people on the list using it if something comes up.<br>

<br>
I also have a Dish Network receiver and a TV card by Hauppauge that<br>
captures component input. I have not yet put that card into the MythTV<br>
computer, it is currently in another PC.</blockquote><div><br>You will have to give the specific card that you have to get help with that. The only device I know of that can capture component input that works with mythtv is the Hauppauge HD-PVR, but it is only supported in the svn trunk build for the upcoming .22 release. <br>

My third and possibly most important interest is in playing movie<br>
.AVI files that are on local network, in a NFS mounted directory.<br>
<br>
I already play them via Krusader and mplayer, but thought that it<br>
would be slicker to integrate them with MythTV.</blockquote><div><br>You want to check out MythVideo. It will handle most file types and can use the internal player which has worked well with most everything I have thrown at it. Just set your MythVideo directory to the NFS mount with your videos. I would recommend using mythweb to manage the metadata, scan for updates to the folder, etc with your video collection. I also use mythweb for all of my scheduling/managing of recordings. Mythweb is great.<br>
