-MythTV QUICKSTART
-=================
-This Arch Linux package provides a generic MythTV installation. It
-requires extensive user configuration. This is a skeletal document, and
-more extensive information is available in /usr/share/mythtv/docs.
-
-MythTV is split into a backend and a frontend. The backend records
-television programming, keeps up with scheduling, does commercial
-flagging, transcoding, and other such jobs. The frontend provides a
-pretty GUI which allows playback and edition of the recorded programs.
-It also provides a means to schedule recordings. There are a number of
-plugins available for MythTV, and most of the official ones are
-available as Arch packages. There are two configurations; the backend
-and frontend can be on the same machine, or on two different machines on
-the same network.
-
-Backend Configuration
----------------------
-MythTV keeps the majority of its settings and program information in a
-mysql database. Before running the backend configuration program, it is
-necessary to initialize the datase. Make sure mysql is running properly.
-
-# mysql < /usr/share/mythtv/mc.sql
-
-If your frontend is going to be remote, you must allow other computers
-on your network to have access to your database. Substitute 192.168.1.%
-with whatever IP range you use. If you have a root mysql password (as
-you should), leave the -p in the mysql command line. Otherwise remove
-the switch.
-
-# mysql -u root -p
- mysql> connect mythconverg;
- mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.%" identified by "mythtv";
- mysql> flush privileges;
- mysql> quit
-
-In order to configure the MythTV backend, you will need to run the
-mythtv-setup program. Note that this requires X. If your backend is
-headless, considering using vnc as a quick and dirty "fix".
-
-# mythtv-setup
-
-Go through all the menus. You will need to know information like your
-capture card device (/dev/v4l/video[0-9]) and your program information
-acquisition method. United States users will most likely subscribe to
-Zap2it Labs' DataDirect service. It requires that users take a survey
-every three months in order to continue service. This isn't as hard as
-it sounds.
-
-It is necessary to update the database with all the current TV listings.
-Run the mythfilldatabase program to grab the listings using whatever
-method you specified in mythtv-setup.
-
-# mythfilldatabase
-
-Run mythbackend from the command line to make sure everything starts ok.
-
-# mythbackend
-
-If so, you may kill the task with "ctrl-c" on your keyboard, and add the
-backend to /etc/rc.conf. In the DAEMONS line, just add "mythbackend" to
-the list.
-
-In the future, you will need to run mythfilldatabase regularly. I allow
-my frontend computer to do this, as it runs continuously, and it is an
-option within MythTV. Otherwise, you can set up a cron job, or move
-mythfilldatabasecron to /etc/cron.daily
-
-cp /usr/share/mythtv/mythfilldatabasecron /etc/cron.daily
