Post subject: | Frontend Question |
This may be a stupid question (so if it is sorry) but I need some help in installing a frontend system. I have my FE/BE knoppmyth server up and running and am now looking to setup some just frontend boxes for around the house. I picked the option of frontend from the menu but that just seems to run the frontend off of the cd. I would like to run it off of the harddrive. I have looked in the wikki and didn't really find anything. Can someone help me either point me to an article or tell what how I should be installing a frontend system. Should I just pick the auto install and then change the ip address for the backend, I thought about this option but seem like a waste to install all the other stuff I don't need on there. Help Thanks for any advice anyone can give me. |

Great thanks that is just what I was looking for. I was just looking in the wrong wikki I was looking in the myth on not the knoppmyth one. I just my frontend system up and going, but if you would not mind I have one follow up question. I am able to watch live tv and watch recordings but cann't seem to get dvd's to start or have there cover art show up. I am using Xine and it gives some kinda of error but it goes by so fast I can't see it. Is there something else I need to enable I am so close to being done I can taste it. LOL Thanks again for the advice. |

Did you set it up so that your frontend NFS mounted /myth/video from the backend? Here is the relevant extract from the script that I run after installing to tweak everything the way I need it. My backend hostname is "mythtv": Code: if [ $HOSTNAME = "mythtv" ] ; then
# Enable mysql networking on the master backend. if grep -q ^skip-networking /etc/mysql/my.cnf ; then echo "Commenting out skip-networking." cp /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf~ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf~ | sed 's/skip-networking/#skip-networking/g' > \ /etc/mysql/my.cnf else echo "Already commented out skip-networking." fi # Enable NFS so that the /myth/video fiolder can be shared to the frontends. if [ ! -e /etc/rc5.d/S20nfs-common ] ; then echo "Enabling nfs-common." update-rc.d nfs-common defaults /etc/init.d/nfs-common start else echo "Already enabled nfs-common." fi if [ ! -e /etc/rc5.d/S20nfs-kernel-server ] ; then echo "Enabling nfs-kernel-server." update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start else echo "Already enabled nfs-kernel-server." fi else # Do the forntend specific stuff. if grep -q DBHostName=localhost /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt ; then echo Setting database host. cp /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt.orig cat /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt.orig | sed 's/DBHostName=localhost/DBHostName=10.1.1.6/g' > \ /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt else echo Already set Database host. fi if ! grep -q 10.1.1.6 /etc/fstab ; then echo Setting up /myth/video nfs mount. cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig cat /etc/fstab.orig | awk '/^proc/{print \ "10.1.1.6:/myth/video /myth/video nfs defaults,auto,noatime 0 0"}\ {print $0}' > /etc/fstab mount -a -t nfs else echo Already setup /myth/video nfs mount. fi fi |

that did it. I had not tried to mount the video directory I had just mounted /myth. So you are running a script to do all of the little twits for you. Is there a good place the I could read up on that to do that also. Thanks again for the help. |
