[mythtv] backend plus frontend

[Ken VanDine]

I did that and no luck.  Mythfrontend starts fine, setup finds the settings in
the database on the backend just fine.  When I select TV from the main
mythfrontend menu, the frontend seg faults.  Not sure what could be causing it.  

Is there a reason localhost is hard coded in the source?  I did change it and
recompile, but it would be much cleaner to get that from the
backend_settings.txt file.  

So, I assume you have successfully run it in this fashion?  I really need to,
all I have is an P3 866 for the backend and a P3 733 for the frontend.  I do not
have a machine fast enough to watch live tv at.  My 866 can record well using
mpeg-4 at 480x480, it also plays it back just fine.  So, I figure separating the
tasks is just what I need.  I think it is a great design.  Another question, how
does the backend handle multiple TV capture cards to sound cards?  Do I have to
have 1 sound card per capture card?  How do you manage this for play back?  How
does it know which video to match to which audio?  If this works out, I want to
upgrade the 866 box to an athlon or P4 (maybe SMP) and put in a few 120GB drives
and RAID them.  Then add several capture cards so I can watch live tv on 2 tv's
and also record a third program simultaneously.  I know it would have to be a
pretty hot box, but it would be fun if I could make it work.  

Well, thanks for the advice.
