How To Set-Up GMyth

This How-To assumes that you have a fully working MythTV installation. Pay attention that this has not been tested too much and that in the future it’ll be a lot easier to do all of this (I’m working on a script to automate this). All these steps are meant to be done on the transcode machine (that also can be the mythtv machine).

I recommend doing everything from SVN as the debs are not done yet.

1. – Installing GMyth
———————————–

1.1 – Debian Packages
———————-
Just install gmyth_0.3_i386.deb and gmyth-utils_0.3_i386.deb like this:

* sudo dpkg -i gmyth_0.3_i386.deb
* sudo dpkg -i gmyth-utils_0.3_i386.deb

1.2 – SVN
—————-

First of all check-out the svn:

* svn co https://gmyth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gmyth/trunk/gmyth gmyth

Compile GMyth and install it:

* cd gmyth
* ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc
* make && sudo make install

2. – Installing gstreamer plugins for MythTV
————————————————————————–

2.1 – Debian Packages
———————-
Just install gstreamer0.10-indt-mythtvsrc_0.10.2.debian-1_i386.deb

* sudo dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-indt-mythtvsrc_0.10.2.debian-1_i386.deb

2.2 – SVN
