Media Centre - Update

-
This morning, I flicked on the media centre to listen to some music, browsing to music library and the music is jumping all over the shop. What appeared to be happening, was media centre re scanning my library. This was very annoying particularly as I hadn't added anything in a couple of months.

So whats the solution, seeing as the wife has gone Christmas shopping, I decided to format the system and install OSx 10.4.9 an uphuck release. bit ott?

  • Will it work?

  • Will I still be able to use the Imon IR receiver in my case ?


I didnt think this through very well :)

Its just occured to me if this doesn't work I'll have to go back to vista, as my legal XP is installed on my MacBook Pro for playing BF2142 and TF2. hmmm

OK tried twice, first time hung at restart, second Kernel panic'd
DAMMIT!


Plan B Installed Ubuntu 7.10, see If i can use Myth TV as a media centre... Processing please wait........

    Good luck with that then, I've just done a reinstall of Ubuntu on a laptop and it takes over 4 minutes to boot for some reason. Stuff to do though.

    OSx Failure, Dammit. Ubuntu installs great but the myth TV, has clearly been attacked by the beardy weirdy brigade, and any usablility in the installation process has been successfully removed.

    The next plan is to go with Media portal (the PC port of XBMC) this appears to have loads of new features and includes TV scheduling / recording etc.

    This will mean I can go back to XP, which will be great.

Went to see them (again) last night. Honestly, people don't listen to enough T-Rex, even though it can substantially improve your life. A lot of people say "I don't know anything they did", so you don't know Metal Guru, Jeepster, Telegram Sam, Hot Love, Children of the Revolution, Ride a White Swan, Get it On, I Love to Boogie, New York City, The Groover, Solid Gold Easy Action, or 20th Century Boy. Right. Bolan was totally the man, until the untimely tree/mini incident. Genius.
