[mythtv-users] Myth Ideas

[Sean]

Just to further add from a nOOb perspective:

MythMove - making it easy to move files in and out of system to CD/DVD/Net
storage.

MythBatch - Specifically for Transcode and DVD Transcode. An interface that
shows a queue of working files.

MythDVD-Burn - Self explanatory. Makes a simple DVD-video from template with
menu of selected files.

MythMenu - A part of the interface that can be turned on and off and allows
user to select certain items from any screen (Main, DVD, WatchTV, etc...).
Something similar is on Windows Media Center and maybe even Freevo...

And perhaps the most important - make buttons that activate from on specific
key from anywhere, thereby allowing going to DVD or TV at one button
click... (if this can be done great, but I haven't seen it anywhere)

>> My thoughts as well ...
>> 
>>> MythEmail
>>>  - email reader, imap or pop ... use libimap ?
>>>  - popup OSD option for TV module
>>>  - can use it within the TV module like the recording menu, i.e. be
>> able
>>> to read/compose email while watching tv in top right hand corner of

>>> interface
>>> 
>>> MythAnsweringMachine
>>>  - I've seen some discussion about this but no work yet has been
>> done
>>>  - frontend for vgetty/mgetty?
>>>  - option to email you when someone leaves a message
>>> 
>> 
>> Personally, would never use either ... I'd only do e-mail at my PC,
>> and
>> already have an answering machine. Just me tho.
>> 
>> Along these could also be MythIM (for "instant messaging").
>> 
>> Typing just isn't going to happen on my sofa ...
>> 
>>> MythBrowser
>>>  - very simple web browser integrated with the TV module, i.e. surf
>> and
>>> watch TV at same time
>>>  - probably pretty easy to do since QT has a lot of this
>> functionality
>>> already.
>>> 
>> 
>> I haven't used the existing MythBrowser ... something your thinking it
>> doesn't do?
>> 
>>> MythDVDDatabase
>>>  - this would be a nice option to add to the MythDVD module
>>>  - be able to add movies in your collection to the database and
>> retrieve
>>> the IMDB info as well
>>>  - option to export or put on the web, publish web page for your
>> database
>>>  - can input UPC code, look it up on the web like the cuecat software
>> has
>>>  - integrate a barcode reader if you have one or use your webcam as
>> a
>>> barcode reader... this would be a very simple vision algorithm to
>>> implement
>>> 
>> 
>> This I like ... I've given lots of thought into an
>> opensource/non-windows
>> alternative to DVDProfiler ... a Myth UI would fit the bill.
>> www.dvdempire.com has UPC values on their web pages, so, scrape that
>> and you
>> have the beginings of a UPC to dvd info catalog. A sophisticated perl
>> writer
>> could get UPC to imdb refernce fairly quickly ...
>> 
>> This should also include DVD changer support. I have a Kenwood DVD
>> changer,
>> and developed a library to implement it's serial protocol
>> (www.sf.net/projects/juken), SlinkE's could also be used for Sony
>> changers.
>> 
>>> MythP2P
>>>  - a peer-to-peer client for other mythtv users so we can share files
>> and
>>> add them to our database properly
>>>  - i.e. sharing tv shows, music, movies, pictures etc...
>>> 
>> 
>> Perhaps ... MythShare. Essentially a module that makes it easy to push
>> photos, video clips, etc. Think an interface my mom could use to push
>> a
>> photo or video to my MythShare (and vice versa). I prefer the push mode
>> over
>> p2p since I control who gets the dirty photos/videos of ... well, you
>> get
>> the idea.
>> 
>>> MythKaraoke
>>>  - a karaoke module could be added to mythmusic, this would be cool
>>> 
>> 
>> Uh ... no!
