[14:55:12] hays (hays!~quassel@fsf/member/hays) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:56:47] hays: I'm planning to run an HTPC from (probably) a Intel NUC attached to the back of a 4k TV. I'm going to run the server on a separate machine, hosting media. what is the best stable user experience with MythTV?
[14:57:09] hays: I would be nice if I could have remote control integration
[14:58:48] hays: hmm.. wikipedia says the project is discontinued?
[14:58:49] mack-: what you're planning is pretty ideal. Use wired LAN connection if possible for best results
[14:59:10] mack-: which project?
[14:59:15] hays: wired may be difficult but I am going to try to make it work. I have 802.11ac so it should be ok wireless if needed
[14:59:26] hays: mythbuntu
[14:59:42] hays: i need to decide where the tv is going to go
[15:00:32] mack-: oh, yeah, mythbuntu guys no longer provide full OS isos. The mythbuntu PPA is still updated. Just apt install on your favorite ubuntu install
[15:01:14] hays: im starting from barebones--whats the least resistance way to do this? maybe from xubuntu or ubuntu?
[15:01:18] mack-: people have plenty of success with wireless, but lots of variables can cause trouble with wireless
[15:01:32] mack-: xubuntu
[15:01:46] hays: yeah. agree. wired would be idea. I have hardwood floors and cement ceilings so it depends on where we put the tv
[15:02:16] mack-: I'm not sure how well wireless would handle any decent quality 4K content you plan on
[15:02:56] hays: yeah. its something ill have to figure out. I might have a second wifi device so I can put the server and client next to each other (wired) but wireless to internet
[15:02:56] mack-: I luckily have crawl space under the floor and can run ethernet up through the walls
[15:03:54] hays: maybe i can figure out how to put a wifi card in my server and configure some routing. but that server is freebsd and I am not too skilled at configuring freebsd
[15:05:43] mack-: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Packages (green suggested checkmark)
[15:05:53] hays: maybe as part of this project ill migrate it to ubuntu
[15:06:46] hays: ubuntu lts. perfect
[15:07:06] mack-: new ubuntu LTS coming in 5 months, btw
[15:07:52] hays: i wonder if its an easier upgrade from lts to lts or latest-release to lts
[15:08:21] mack-: both are supported, but I would latest to lts
[15:08:44] mack-: there is a LOT to change from 16.04 to now
[15:09:30] hays: how does lts work? Is LTS at one point also the latest and just a matter of naming repos?
[15:10:22] hays: well anyways i can look all that up
[15:10:32] hays: is mythtv pretty stable?
[15:10:49] hays: I tried Kodi once and I found it pretty glitchy
[15:11:01] mack-: It's basically an appliance for me once I got it set up
[15:11:35] hays: do you use a remote control
[15:12:52] mack-: I actually use kodi and pvr.mythtv addon as my main frontend without problems, since I prefer kodi's video library to mythtv's. The only stupidness I experience with kodi is SD-card related with raspberry pi
[15:13:14] mack-: I use Logitech Harmony Hub remote
[15:15:32] hays: maybe ill take a look at Kodi again
[15:16:08] mack-: I use MrMC with pvr.mythtv addon running on appleTV on another client just fine too :)
[15:16:57] mack-: the only full mythtvfrontend I use is on my desktop, to use the editor for commercial marking
[15:17:41] mack-: no need for remote there
[15:17:59] hays: my recollection was that kodi had some fun emulator plugins
[15:18:55] mack-: it does, but they're still not really ready for primetime. For that, I go with other software like Retropie or MESS.
[15:19:02] hays: but my needs are pretty basic. just video playback. and if streaming stuff doesn't work or is clunky I can just get the cheap fire stick or something to stream amazon prime content
[15:20:30] hays: so you just shut down the client i guess if you want to play games
[15:21:29] mack-: yeah, I don't try to do anything fancy with kodi. As soon as release versions of kodi are widely used, the addons for amazon video or netflix tend to stop working as amazon/netflix change things :)
[15:22:27] hays: something like that you could run on a pi and just have it on a seprate video input
[15:22:43] hays: have to check how many inputs my new tv has
[15:22:56] mack-: I actually just have a raspberry pi on a different HDMI input on my receiver and my Harmony Remote switches things for me when I want to play it
[15:23:10] mack-: ^
[15:23:36] hays: yeah. cool. i might get a receiver.
[15:23:52] hays: depends how we set it all up
[15:24:03] hays: impulse tv buy :)
[15:24:08] mack-: you said you were wanting the NUC behind your TV. A receiver might clutter things
[15:24:19] hays: exactly
[15:24:55] hays: the most likely thing is a wall mount, clean.
[15:25:03] mack-: TVs by themselves typically have pretty horrible audio, though
[15:26:02] hays: i can probably get a good receiever for not too much money. i have an apartment so things cant get that loud
[15:26:30] hays: the biggest limitation is wires, and i might fix that by just getting some floor cable management around the perimeter
[15:26:34] mack-: soundbars that mount on the wall under the TV are pretty popular. I got a 2.1 one for the bedroom, and it's acceptable for the price point.
[15:27:45] hays: yeah, lots of things to consider
[15:29:24] hays: i still can't believe i got this tv for this price
[15:29:26] mack-: my only complaint there is since a new neighbor moved in, I get wireless subwoofer dropouts from time to time and the soundbar flashes "check wireless connectivity" occasionally. I think they have a similar unit or something and have it on a power strip so whenever they turn it on it tries repairing with my unit :/
[15:29:35] mack-: Black Friday deal?
[15:29:38] hays: yeah
[15:30:16] hays: LG OLED65C7P for $1650
[15:30:39] mack-: I hate people too much to go near any retail store between November 20 and January 10.
[15:30:45] hays: online
[15:30:54] mack-: ah, not bad =)
[15:31:22] hays: i bought it on my phone. lol. anyways.. gotta get back to the fam. thanks for the thoughts on a mythtv setup
[15:31:29] mack-: have fun
