| Post subject: | Mythtv Player for Linux? |
I've used the MythTv Player for Windows on my windows machine and it works great. I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar program for Linux (I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop). Since I use the laptop for other stuff I don't want to run a frontend, I just want a window to play myth recordings in. The link for MythTv Player is http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/ if you're not familiar with it. Thanks! Michael |

Since you have Ubuntu, install the mythtv-frontend package. |

Thanks for the quick response (and all your hard work with KnoppMyth). I thought about doing that, but would I be able to run it in a window so I could multitask while I'm watching recordings? |

Share your recordings directory on the backend via Samba, then mount the Samba shares onto your laptop and play the MPEGs with VLC/Mplayer/Xine/whatever. |

Thanks slowtolearn - I did try that method and got video playback, but was unable to fast forward to rewind using Totem Movie Player. After being spoiled with Myth's commercial skipping I couldn't stand not being able to skip the commercials.. Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere? |

The frontend can run in a window. |

I got the frontend installed and working, but I can't dynamically resize the window. I know I'm being picky  I got spoiled by MythTv Player. I don't need all the overhead of the frontend, I just want something to play the recordings. So I'm guessing there's nothing like MythTv Player for linux..

Wouldn't MythStream do the trick? |

Google for mythviewer It is what you are looking for and I believe a user on this forum that goes by the nickname/handle of Grante is the developer. I've been using it for awhile now with no problems. |

Since MythTV has a upnp server now another option could be to use djmount to mount the upnp content as a directory tree. Then you can use any media player you want to play the files. http://djmount.sourceforge.net/ |
