Installation issues / No DVD decryption software

« on: February 05, 2010, 10:46:28 pm »

During the installation when it gets to Sarah, there wasn't any software to be added (libraries for viewing and coping dvd's). So I just went ahead with the setup. When I tried to play a dvd, LMCE couldn't and replied it didn't have the libraries to do so. How can I get the dvd library software?

Installation issues / Installation questions

« on: February 03, 2010, 11:50:02 pm »

I have a couple of questions concerning 8.10:
1. What version of mythtv is being used? If it is .22, is storage groups being used?
2. If I choose the dvd installation, will 8.10 be updated to the latest version when I apt-get upgrade?
3. I have seen in some of the posts where the installations have trouble and the recommendation is to remove the tuner cards, install 8.10 and get it running and then later add the tuner cards. Is this standard or just an option for the few that have installation problems? Can I just leave the tuner cards installed during the installation as with 7.10?
4. My wireless router will be on the external network. If I wanted to use a wireless orbitor ie webDT 366, would this work or would I need an AP on the internal network?
5. Will the metadata for videos automatically be setup?

Users / Multi-core processor usage

Since LMCE is based on the 32 bit platform will it utilize more than one core on a multi-core processor?

Installation issues / Network configuration setup

« on: February 01, 2010, 06:40:00 pm »

I need feedback on the planned network configuration. If I have read the posts correctly I should be able to set this network up as drawn. Also I would have dhcp enabled on the router. Do I need to do anything for the hybrid ip address or will it accept the assigned ip address from the router? Any other problems that anyone may see with this setup?
Thanks
