My current setup is a Knoppmyth R5.5 box downstairs and a Debian Lenny file server upstairs. All the TV recording is done on the Myth box while the server stores all the other content (movies, mp3s, etc)

What I'd like to do is move all the myth backend functions to the server while turning the box downstairs into a frontend only. Seeing as the debian server is running 24/7 this seems like a good use for it :)

Is anyone running a knoppmyth/linhes frontend with a different backend? If so, how did that go?

Cheers,

Matt

yes. I've done this. I used to have my backend done using the rpms from atrpms running my smeserver (contribs.org) which is CentOS based. It worked fine.

However because I like some of the KM features on the backend (e.g. simple mythweb setup, etc) I now have a R5.5 KM backend running in a Virtual Machine on that same server with the exception of a slave backend still running on the server host OS itself to access the tuner cards. The slave backend is 0.21-fixes on CentOS and reports into the KM 5.5 master backend in the VM.

As long as the myth versions are the same (ie. for KM 5.5, running 0.21-fixes) you should be ok.
