Yea... they're compiled in ;) It's a feature. Honest. @Mark: If you haven’t already, then you’ll need to edit the server, username, and password that are handed to gmyth_backend_info_new_full() in main.c.

Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to get it to run. That is to say that it compiles and runs under Mandriva 2010.0, but it can't access the mythbackend so it doesn't populate the window. This also might have something to do with the fact that I have several partitions working under mythtv to hold my media and none of them are mounted as /mnt/video. If you have any spare clues to toss my way, I'd appreciate it. I really miss having a useful pvr front end. At this point, it's all Dolphin and VLC. This looks like a lean and handy program.

I wanted something small and quick, and something I could make use of smplayer/kaffeine to watch the videos (rather than mythfrontend), and not having to remember which files I had watched (when using independent players) etc. I made some quick small dirty mods to suit me more, to read parameters from a file and to add a delete button to expire watched recordings, and to group recordings by title/date. But the essence is still the basic prog. Thanks. Thanks for this – exactly what I wanted.

I'm pleased that MythFace stills runs without any problems after updating the backend to 0.22.

I'm glad it's useful. We're still using it now, and I haven't had to modify it once! Did setup go OK? Hi Sascha. I’m glad it’s useful. We’re still using it now, and I haven’t had to modify it once!

It loads instantly, has a great interface and, crucially, doesn't suck. It is superior to mythfrontend in every regard. This is exactly the kind of software I enjoy.
