<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Introduction:</span><br>
<br>
LinHES is what I called my home entertainment
system. LinHES is of course based on KnoppMyth, but the setup I
describe can be accomplished with any Linux distro and MythTV. My
setup consists of a master and slave backend. My master backend is
in my bedroom and it is used to store all recorded programs. My
slave backend is in my living room. It's primary function is to
entertainment visitors. Both backends are hooked up to a TV via,
TV out(SVIDEO). SBE is also hooked to a Kenwood receiver w/
surround(works w/o additional tweaking!). NFS is used to share the files
between the systems.<br>

<span style="font-style: italic;">Installation</span>:<br>
<br>
I performed an auto install on MBE, while SBE
was installed manual (I wanted /cache no larger than 5 gigs). Both
systems installed w/o issue all hardware was seen and worked w/o
additional configuration. MBE was recently changed to R5
Alpha(auto upgrade and <span style="font-style: italic;">not ready</span>
for the average user), while SBE is running R4V3. Both are of
course running MythTV 0.15.1.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-style: italic;">Customization</span>:<br>
<br>
MBE:<br>
/etc/hosts:<br>
127.0.0.1 mbe.mysettopbox.tv
localhost<br>
192.168.1.91 sbe<br>
<br>
Added the following to /etc/fstab:<br>
<small>sbe:/myth /mnt/sbe nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,nfsvers=3</small><br>
<br>
/etc/exports:<br>
/myth *(rw)<br>
update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults<br>
<br>
Made a directory under /mnt called sbe and symlinked music and video to
sbe/music and sbe/video.<br>
mkdir /mnt/sbe<br>
cd /mnt<br>
ln -s sbe/music music(Setup-Music Settings-General Settings, change the
directory to hold music to /mnt/music)<br>
ln -s sbe/video video(Setup-Video Settings-General Settings change
directory to hold videos to /mnt/video)<br>
<br>
Ran mythtv-setup and change both IPs from 127.0.0.1 to my actual
IP. Modified /etc/mysql/my.cnf, commented bind-address and
restarted mysql. Finally as the user mythtv:<br>
cd ~/.mythtv<br>
rm -fr MythVideo<br>
ln -s /mnt/sbe/image_cache/MythVideo/ MythVideo<br>
<br>
<br>
SBE:<br>
/etc/hosts<br>
127.0.0.1 localhost<br>
192.168.1.91 sbe.mysettopbox.tv sbe<br>
192.168.1.92 mbe.mysettopbox.tv mbe<br>
<br>
Added the following to /etc/fstab:<br>
<small>mbe:/myth /mnt/mbe nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,nfsvers=3<br>
<br>
</small>/etc/exports:<br>
/myth *(rw)<br>
update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults<br>
update-rc.d -f mysql remove<br>
update-rc.d -f apache remove<br>
rm -fr /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend<br>
<br>
Made a directory under /mnt called mbe and symlinked tv to mbe/tv,
music is symlinked to /myth/music and video is symlinked to /myth/video.<br>
mkdir /mnt/mbe<br>
cd /mnt<br>
ln -s mbe/tv tv(mythtv-setup 2nd screen, directory to hold
recordings, change to /mnt/tv)<br>
<br>
Run mythtv-setup and change the first IP to the IP for SBE and the
second to MBE's IP. Configure capture cards and bind input to
source(configured during MBE setup). Finally as the user mythtv:<br>
cd ~/.mythtv<br>
rm -fr MythVideo<br>
ln -s /myth/image_cache/MythVideo/ MythVideo<br>
vi mysql.txt<br>
<br>
DBHostName=mbe<br>
DBUserName=mythtv<br>
DBPassword=mythtv<br>
DBName=mythconverg<br>
LocalHostName=sbe<br>
<br>
At this point, one can reboot boot systems or:<br>
MBE:/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start<br>
SBE:/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start<br>
MBE:mount /mnt/sbe<br>
SBE:mount /mnt/mbe<br>
M/SBE:/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart<br>
<br>
Tips :<br>
<br>
In Setup-TV Settings-Playback-2nd screen,
"Action on playback exit", set this to "Save position on exit".
This way you can migrate watching a recorded show from one system to the
next.<br>
