Hi Thomas, Thank you for this response.
I implemented the 5 seconds sleep & that worked fine, although with no time to spare... I will keep watch on that & increase the time if it does not always work. I wish that I had known it could be that easy & well within my abilities... I have 2 backend machines (each with 2 tuners & 2 recording HDDs) & 1 separate, specific Mythbuntu machine. I also have Myth on my desktop Ubuntu machine, mainly if I need to check anything. I don't run the backends 24/7; I have used the BIOS timer to start them around 17:00 & a cron-tab to stop them around 01:00. We start the frontend when we need it. I have tried several times to implement the wake-up feature, but without success. I stored the music on the slave BE. There were 13 directories created (automatically?) under /mnt/mythTV3/mythtv/, including 1 for music, so that seemed like the right place to put it. This HDD (directory) is recorded in the default storage group, as it also includes TV recordings. The 1000 songs have been recorded into 36 folders, one for each artist/group. In addition, I have entered /mnt/mythTV3/mythtv/music/ into the field "Directory to hold music" in the FE Setup->Media Settings->Music Settings->General Settings. So I can see the songs, but can't get them to play. Actually I just noticed that I can't see them all; it seems to be stuck on one artist, who has about 15 songs... For playing the music, could there be a question of permissions, & if so, who should that be? Going back to your comment about the FE. If I was to copy these music folders onto the FE HDD, & describe that location to music settings, they should play? I live in Melbourne, Australia. I have been retired for 12 year. I have been using Ubuntu for 8 years & Mythbuntu for 5 or 6 years. For the past 3 or 4 years, I have been doing 1 day/week volunteer work at a not-for-profit computer recycling depot (Computerbank Victoria), where we rebuild any re-usable computers for sale to needy people. All of these computers have Ubuntu installed. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Garry.
