<div>You may want to check out the Nvidia Shield AndroidTV iff
you haven't already purchased the Roku. I received one for
Christmas last year and my family loves it. Kodi or SPMC
run well and play all of our MythTV recordings from HDHR
tuners. As an unexpected bonus we are able to watch Live TV
via Kodi and MythtTV. We're not a sports family so I'm not
sure what streaming options are available for that but we
found everything we used to stream via Roku 2XS is available
on the Shield Android TV.<br>
<br>
</div>
Plex server can also run on the Shield and will include DVR
functionality soon. The HDHR DVR is expected to run on Shield
as well but I doubt either will hold a candle to MythTV.<br>

another thought after I researched Shield. It seems to support
MPEG2 so that must be why it can handle Kodi/mythtv and LiveTV on
mythtv.<br>

One stumbling block I am aware of is that OTA recordings
are native MPEG2 format, while most set-top boxes such
Roku, if they support something like UPNP, natively
support MP4 or H.264 or whatever. <br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I noticed that there
are Roku solutions that use a Windows PC to run a
transcode to h.264 and serve as a go between for the
Mythtv and Roku. I don't see why I can't setup an
automatic job to transcode and leave the files in place as
a part of the database on the backend. I would just need
a Roku frontend that could talk to the mythtv backend. I
find that commercial detection is about 90% effective and
that last 10% can drive you crazy during playback, so
having the 30 second skip is about all I need.<br>
<br>
I find all the transcode scripts that use Handbrake or
ffmpeg are broken in 0.28 and have reported the bug in
mythtranscode, so I will have to do this in 0.27. I could
modify the script at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_Mpeg2_to_H264"
target="_blank">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_Mpeg2_to_H264</a><br>
<br>
or <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1261"
target="_blank">https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1261</a><br>
<br>
but these scripts transcode lossless mpeg2 to mpeg2 to
another location and apply commercial detection prior to
mpeg2 to mp4 transcoding with Handbrake/ffmpeg.
mythtranscode with the -o option is where the bug is.<br>
<br>
<br>
Because I have a Logitech Harmony Smart Control I think I
can setup a one button control to switch between, my Kodi
frontend computer and the Koku. I have the Harmony
completely controlling the Kodi. If I can do the same with
Roku, I could make this seamless for the wife and avoid
the transcode</div>

<blockquote type="cite"> I think you can meet at least
this requirement by transcoding all your MythTV records
to MPEG4. <br>
<br>
You would lose commercial detection / skipping, but
maybe the set-top box you "connect" to MythTV allows
skip ahead by 30 seconds, so maybe not an issue.<br>
