About six months ago I decided to finally consolidate all my stored media and organise a media box for myself. I dabbled with a few different applications and finally settled ,on a recommendation from a friend, on MythTV.
MythTV is a great application and can do a lot more than I'm using it for, but I've found it's pretty well supported, easy to setup and maintain, and has quite a usable and 'pretty' interface. It can also be controlled from my phone ( I haven't yet purchased a remote ), which is very handy too.
I'm running FreeBSD 9.0 RC2 with mythtv 0.24.1 from ports, along with a few home-grown patches. I haven't yet setup a tuner, but I intend to in the not too distant future.
There are a few little niggly things that are missing in MythTV and I have been slowly hacking away at the code to add them and correct a few other strange behaviours.
The following patch adds a 'lastwatched' field to the metadata along with a patch for the network remote ( this isn't the official one, it's just one I found online somewhere ).
**If you're going to patch MythTV with this patch, add an extra field to the '
videometadata' table named '
lastwatched' of type '
timestamp' ( not null default '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ... or something similar).
