I would not mind contributing Patriot Box Office (PBO) content to the
myth Wiki either.<br>
<br>
I have one of these boxes too and seems to be working fine on my mpeg2
recordings (some <br>
from a PCHDTV card recording what is left of clear QAM from my comcast
wire) and some <br>
from a PVR-250 recording from a Myth dedicated DCT box). I do not do
auto transcoding <br>
so nupple video is not an issue. I am running the AC Ryan firmware on
the PBO. The PBO <br>
drives a LCD TV in my bedroom via HDMI and the backend box drives the
TV in our <br>
family room.<br>
<br>
This Box Office replaces a Hauppauge MVP on which I had been running
MVPMC for <br>
the last several years (and for which I had to transcode to shows SVCD
format mpeg to <br>
get them to play -- had a user job defined in my myth backend to do
this). I am hoping the WAF<br>
remains high.<br>
<br>
Now that I have the Box Office, I don't need to do that transcode
anymore so am considering <br>
backing down from my dual core AMD X64 power hog motherboard to a
Atom/ION based <br>
backend (my electric bills are NASTY and this I am sure is part of the
problem). <br>
<br>
While the box office is nice there is one glaring issue. The uPNP
server in Myth (or the client<br>
in the Box Office) get tangled up after playing a single TV show. If I
try to back up to the<br>
uPNP menu for Recordings on the PBO, the uPNP browse menu is empty.
Only backing <br>
out to the main menu on the PBO and then re-invoking the uPNP browser
will let me <br>
view the list once again. I am running an older release of MythDora
(version 5) and the myth<br>
SW is currently based on 0.21. Is the Myth uPNP stuff better in later
releases?<br>
<br>
Other than this the PBO plays content great -- even the QAM HD
recordings that the MVP didn't <br>
stand a prayer of playing. Very Nice.<br>
<br>
I got the PBO on sale at Fry's for $75 with ah $25 rebate. Pretty
cheap for a reasonable<br>
front end for Myth TV that effortlessly plays HD content over my home
network.<br>
<br>
Oh, and it also NFS mounts my video rip files, avi camera files and
more as described in the <br>
earlier posts and plays those fine as well.<br>
