It's a tad complicated for the last release (you have to comment out a line in
the source code), but rather easy with current CVS (a couple friends only
want to use the music, video, and games bits, so I figured I'd make it easy
on them):
With 0.9:
mythfrontend doesn't like to run without talking to the backend server (which
is only used for TV recording for now), so a small code modification is
necessary to disable this. There's a line in programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp:
gContext->ConnectServer(server, port);
Just comment that out.
Install mythtv as normal, following the howto. You can skip all the backend
setup stuff.
Install mythmusic.
Run mythfrontend, go into the setup page and configure mythmusic for your
system (set the directory it'll look for music in, etc). Should be all set
from then on.. If you don't want the TV option in the main menu, you can
just remove it by editing it out of /usr/local/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml
With current CVS:
Install mythtv as normal, skip the backend (tv card) setup.
Install mythmusic.
Run mythfrontend, configure mythmusic, etc.
