Mythtvfrontend

Greetings,

I have mythtv setup (well getting there), and I was wondering what I needed
in order to watch liveTV on a client machine. Do I need to download and
install mythtv on that machine as well, or is there just some frontend
software that I need to install?

Basically, I want to try to use some sort of frontend client for my
Powerbook. Not sure if it will compile in OS/X, but worth a shot.

Thanks for anyhelp.

Just install MythTV on the client machine, and run "mythfrontend", then
configure it to point at your other machine running the backend. You
don't need to run a backend on the client machine, just the frontend.

Myth doesn't build under OS X (yet). You'd be welcome to help in that
effort, though! I believe most of Myth should compile under LinuxPPC,
but there are some endian-ness issues moving from x86 -> PPC, and also
I don't know how well libavcodec & libffmpeg handle PPC. Way back in
the 0.7/0.8 days someone reported that they had build mythfrontend on
LinuxPPC, but the changes were never merged into CVS AFAIK.
