| [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 |
