This page is my little mindmap related to open source Home theater PCs (HTPC). I love the idea of having theater PCs which are open to extension and connected. There are many features available when building out your HTPC, ability to play many diff. types of video files, playlists of on demand content, access other media available on the home network, scheduling recordings, and others.....XBMCXBMC - GPL software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. XBMC is available for Linux, OSX, Windows, and the original Xbox.Before you had to mod an xbox to install XBMC, today, you can install it on Linux, OSX, and Windows without voiding warranties! XBMC MythTV - A python script for XBMC that includes the ability to play live TV and recordings. Plus you can schedule new recordings as well! MythTV - a linux media centerOk, so you are looking for a great TiVo/Replay type device with the ability to upgrade and develop new features? Look no further, MythTv is here! KnoppMyth - This is a modified Knoppix distro. of linux that is made solely for MythTV. I'm interested in this project because it provides a quick and easy way to keep your media center up to date. KnoppMyth Wiki Keys for MythTV Streaming MythTV to your cell phone More information to come soon on building your own MythTV from CVS on a distro like Fedora or CentOS. Hardware InfoI'm interested in a nice card that does MPEG 4 but there really isn't anything out there right now. I found something called the Plextor ConvertX PVR but it is USB based... which is fine, but I don't exactly feel great with it. I may spend the money and try it out. I'll let you know when I find.LinuxMCEI am very interested in getting started with LinuxMCE. There is a really cool video of it's use on google video [here]. LinuxMCE |
