| bennypr0fane | hello, I'm wondering if I can install any Ubuntu application on Mythbuntu, e.g. Dropbox. I'd sorta be using it as a NAS, additionally to the mediaplayer. In short, I'd like to know if Mythbuntu could be the answer to this question: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/best-distro-for-a-home-nas-media-player-4175501702/ | 18:28 |
| superm1 | bennypr0fane: sure you can install anything ubuntu on mythbuntu | 18:37 |
| bennypr0fane | superm1: ok, that's great. do you think I can use it the way I describe in that froum thread? | 18:37 |
| superm1 | sure that sounds like it can work well enough | 18:54 |
| superm1 | mythfrontend can't really be controlled from an android app well though | 18:54 |
| superm1 | maybe if you install xbmc | 18:54 |
| Kwisher_wrk | superm1: that is not correct | 18:54 |
| superm1 | Kwisher_wrk: headless control of mythfrontend from an android app? | 18:55 |
| Kwisher_wrk | there is a free mythtv app that works quite well | 18:55 |
| superm1 | i thought that's what he was looking for | 18:55 |
| Kwisher_wrk | how can a frontend be headless? | 18:55 |
| superm1 | it's a NAS with audio out, i guess i didn't think it should also have video out | 18:56 |
| superm1 | but yes if there's video out, then https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkj.android.homecontrol.mythmote is your way to go | 18:57 |
| Kwisher_wrk | still don't understand why you'd put a frontend on a headless box ?? | 18:58 |
| bennypr0fane | Hej, thanks for yr answers. I wasn't looking bcs nobody tagged me, so I thought, you hadn't replied - sorry! The thing is , media-wise I practically want to use iot only for music, meaning I need no video, just the mobile app to control the music player. Basically just any Linux distro could in theory be set up with the tools I want, but wehther or not I have the nerve to go through all that is an entirely different question. I really need | 20:41 |
| bennypr0fane | this to be as effortless as possible | 20:41 |
| bennypr0fane | that's why I'm looking for a distro that has all the basic server stuff already in place OOTB | 20:42 |
| bennypr0fane | anyway if there are other things that work well too, all the better! :-) | 20:43 |
