[13:32] <Thorneo_> got a few questions bout mythbuntu .. Can someone help with
[13:36] <Thorneo_> I would like to setup a split system with front end at my tv's and servers in server closet. Can i watch live tv on front eads with tuners in back eads?
[13:43] <Jay2k1> yeah
[13:44] <Jay2k1> that's the idea behind having frontend and backend processes separated
[13:45] <Jay2k1> you can have a combined FE/BE or separate FE and BE machines or even an backend and multiple frontends (living room, sleeping room, ...)
[13:54] <Thorneo_> ok then can I watch live tv from the tuners???
[13:57] <Thorneo_> I tryied this with mythbuntu 8.04 a few years back and I could not get them to work correctly. Is it a little easier now with 14.04?
[14:28] <Jay2k1> i don't really know
[14:28] <Jay2k1> i started with mythtv 0.24 and a combined FE/BE
[14:28] <Jay2k1> all that has changed since is i'm using 0.27 now :P
[14:28] <Thorneo_> ok thank you for all the info so far.. It has really helped me out this far..
[14:29] <Jay2k1> but the whole concept is you can have a backend machine with lots of big noisy harddrives and lots of tuners somewhere in the basement and then a few slim, efficient, silent frontend machines that can do everything a local frontend could do too
[14:29] <Jay2k1> including streaming recordings, watching live tv etc.
[22:48] <qwebirc84703> Hi - if i already have a mysql server, do i need to install the one that comes with mythbuntu? Or can I just point the software to my database?
[22:57] <superm1> qwebirc84703: you can point it at your existing one if you'd like
[23:01] <qwebirc84703> If I install Mythbuntu, won't I get another database? Or do i need to install MythTV (just backend)?
[23:03] <tgm4883> qwebirc84703: I don't have instructions to install it to another mysql server, but it should be doable
[23:03] <tgm4883> Should just need to install mythtv-backend, but we need to get the db populated somehow
[23:11] <qwebirc84703> Googling on the db population hasn't produced anything, but I would think there is a way also...
