Someone did just this to provide a pseudo-frontend for Myth under Windows before there was an actual Win32 port of mythfrontend. The basic idea in that case was: Mount the myth store via SMB Connect to the MySQL server hosting the mythconverg DB Figure out the episode info using the filename and the DB data. (Same way mythbackend does it.) I believe the pseudo-frontend used for the Hauppauge MediaMVP operates in a similar manner. I don't remember the link offhand, it's in the archives somewhere (within the past 2-3 weeks.) In fact there is no need to even connect to the backend server in either of these cases. If you simply want to play/view the content, all you need is access to the MPEG files (assuming they were recorded as MPEG2, if they were software encoded using NuppelVideo it becomes a bit harder.) and the MySQL DB. You don't even need MySQL DB access, but the filenames are quite cryptic in that case. (Source ID, channel, start time, end time, no show name or anything like that.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
