Hi,
No problem however I would suggest trying it as full system. You may be pleasantly surprised with you can do with a 500 mhz machine
Stopping the backend will gain very little in performance.

| Post subject: | running without mythbackend and mysql |
I have a friend who is using R5.5 exclusively to watch video content with mplayer via mythvideo since the machine he's running on is only a P3-500. In this role only using mythvideo as a frontend to mplayer, he has no use for either myth-backend or mysql. How can I configure mythfrontend to launch without complaining that it can't locate a uPnP backend or that it can't connect to mysql? Is this even possible? |

Hi, You can't. The fe uses data from the mysql for themes& etc. They don't use much for resources so leave the mysql run. Mike |

I figured as much, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for the confirmation. |

As Mike says the BE overhead is very small. Watching live TV (one of the more strenuous tasks for the BE) mine is running at 5% of RAM and 1% CPU, otherwise it uses ~0% CPU and maybe 4% of RAM. The mysql DB server overhead is about the same. |
