Just ordered a Nokia 770. It's got wireless, a decent sized color screen, and runs Linux. It might be fun to port mythfrontend to it. Has anyone heard of anything similar? |

I got one at Woot a month back, and I really like the 770. It runs a custom variant of Linux, and there actually some people already working on a custom frontend. It's not up for our consumption yet, but check out gmyth at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmyth. I've tried using the built in upnp aspects of MythTv with Canola, a upnp client designed for Nokia internet tablets. It finds the myth box and can list all of the recordings, but as of now is unable to transcode them to a playable format. Good luck and please post any updates you find, I'll do the same. |

have you tried mplayer and samba or nfs ? That would let you watch video over the wifi connection. I think the raw tv recordings might require too much bandwidth but if you transcode them it might work fairly well. I saw an mplayer port on http://www.maemo.org |

I have a Nokia 800. I posted on how to watch programs on it to the MythTV mailing list. Should work well for the 770. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/m ... ers/247076 |

I put together a script to convert video to the lower bandwidth requirements of the nokia PDA. You can find it here: http://www.reddawn.net/~jsprenkl |

My winxp box has access to /myth via samba on my mythtv box. I was able to access that content via orb on my pda and a relatives laptop. Supposedly it works on mobile phones. orb.com |

With the small processors on some of the PDAs and phones they can't support the data rate of the recorded video. |
