w00t! Got my remote Myth Backend working!
Finally. The simultanious encoding and decoding of a media stream while writing to disk with a few other programs in the background was more than my P IV 1.7 Ghz could handle (Warbird). But in reference to yesterdays question I got it working and it rocks! I need to compile the plugins for the remote backend now and I'm good to go. Right now I've got Jeff Foxworthy on Comedy Central outputting on Excalibur, but being recorded on Warbird.
Now that I've got my one big requirement handled I'm going to put my GeForce 6600 GT into Excalibur along with the Audigy 2 Zs, in they're place Warbird will get the left over GeForce 2 MX and at least one sound card out of the scrap box. I've found when you have a MythTV system it's probably better to have one soundcard for input and one for output. My old Hercules card recorded and played back well except for that one speaker issue that wasn't card design but an individual card error. Even my Audigy doesn't do it right. The Turtle beach did but still didn't work right with Linux. Screw it, multiple cards it is. Eventually I plan on adding a second tuner.
I've got ZSNES as one of the video game plugins, Mednafen as another. I can't encourage all of you to play with it enough. To bad we don't have kickass bandwidth, setting up a network of slave backends across the globe would ensure I could see the latest on the BBC and other could see the latest on the American SciFi network.
BTW:
The fix - after I corrected the problem with Warbird not allowing remote connects on the database, Excalibur was missing a few SQL components. I just had to sit down and figure out which ones, after I determined tha was the error.
