Mythbuntu MythTV and transmitting and receiving IR

Turns out that the remote worked like a dream, but once the remote was operating smoothly the IR Blaster stopped working. After further testing it appeared that I could only get ONE device to work at a time- whichever device was operating on /dev/lircd.

BAH.

After much research, turns out there is an issue in the script that resides at /etc/init.d/lirc. Who knew?.

Mythbuntu and the Story of the 3-in-One Radio Shack remote

So I finally got the Radio Shack remote working with my install of Mythbuntu. This practically completes the setup (not really)!

One thing that was unclear in the process was the Mythbuntu Control Centre. I was not sure whether I needed to select the remote from the IR dropdown list or the hardware. Both were listed. I was able to get some buttons working using the generic sounding "Hauppauge card" and the Radio Shack 3-in-one wasn't working at all (maybe I needed to punch some "Codes" into the remote? It was unclear).

Mythtv's addon Mythweb - who knew it had a mobile theme, too?

MythTV screenshotHere's a list of television shows that are on the to-delete list from my Mythbuntu box. I have the Mythv frontend on my MacBook Pro, too, allowing me to watch tv on my laptop. Boom. Hooked. Maybe I should open it up to the public so my friends can tell me what to watch. Like that guy who opened his automated house up to the internet- you can watch him sit on his computer in his underwear and flip the lights on and off around him. (can't find the link).

Mythtv South Burlington Users Group Entry #1

So I've successfully upgrading my Mythbuntu box from 9.04 to 9.10 and thus Mythtv .21 to Mythtv .22 and I desperately want to include some fanart on my fancy-ass themes for my .22 frontend OSX builds (graciously provided by TheSniderPad.com. Only trouble is I'm having trouble! Fanart appears to work fine on the Mythbuntu frontend but there appears to be some sort of sharing issue with OSX.

Internet Pornography Tip #1

When searching for oral activities, use vulgar search terms. Producers of sexually explicit adult websites often do not know how to spell fellatio.
