[mythtv-users] Finalizing MythTV Gentoo EPIA-M install

[Thomas Tavares]

Used Gentoo Howto wiki and forums to get my system up and running. 
Everything is working beautifully except for some intermittent hiccups, such 
as errors about unable to access /dev/dsp and jittery video. I can't 
pinpoint when it actually occurs.

Now to my main questions:
1)   I need help in customizing the lcddevice.cpp messages that are used for 
the LCD. I am not a programmer, and I believe that is my biggest drawback. I 
would like to try and use the examples used in MythLCD. I really like the 
waving graph used in the music playback example.

2)  Would like to use the red hard drive led on the case to show when the 
system is recording or a remote button is pressed by connecting it to the 
GPO of the LCD. I saw some code for this to be used on an XBOX. How can I 
enable this for a PC.

3)  I would also like to figure out how to use internet radio via MythTV. I 
saw that someone is already working on a module. Hopefully there is a patch 
that can be temporarily used until the module is completed.

This is a great project and I am glad to finally have an install that works 
totally with hardware encoding and decoding working properly.
