MythTV plugin

Overview

This plugin for SqueezeCenter which enhances the Information Screen plugin with support for showing recording status of currently or pending recordings from a MythTV media center solution.

Please note that you will need both the Information Screen plugin installed in Squeezebox Server and the Information Screen applet installed on the Squeezebox Touch, Radio or Controller.

Installation

PLEASE NOTE, the current version of MythTV is only available as a beta version\\ You will need Erland's testing repository configured in Plugins tab: http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml

1. Make sure you have installed Information Screen plugin
2. You will need the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and ~/.mythtv/config.xml files from your MythTV server if you run Squeezebox Server on a separate machine or as a separate user.
3. Remove any previous version of MythTV plugin from the SqueezeCenter Plugins directory if you have manually installed it earlier (this is not needed if you have installed it through Plugins tab)
4. Goto SqueezeCenter Settings/Plugins and select to install MythTV. You might need to add Erland's repository to see it, see here for more information regarding this: SqueezeCenter_Repositories. If you don't want to install it through Extension Downloader, you can also download it from the download page and manually unzip the new version in the SqueezeCenter Plugins directory
