Users / Importing from existing MythTV setup
« on: August 14, 2007, 10:20:58 pm »
Hi,
I'm a long time MythTV user who is planning on trying out LinuxMCE. I've been reading quite a bit about it but never acutally used it so I apologise if anything I say is way off...
How does LinuxMCE find out about the media in MythTV? Is it with a userjob that runs after something is recorded or something that just waits for new recordings (or something else entirely)? I was hoping to be able to just copy the recordings from my current Myth setup into it but it just occurred to me that that wouldn't work if it just detecting new recordings with a userjob.
I assume I could just copy the recordings into a folder and let LinuxMCE detect them but then I'd lose a load of metadata and Myth would no longer know what I already had for the sake of repeats.
Thanks,
Oliver
PS - I have to say this is one of the most promising pieces of software I've seen for a while and keep up the good work
