:?: When I try to play music using the frontend I get a message telling me it's missing something (decoder?) and can't play it. I can play music on the backend, so the file's ok; I can watch TV on the frontend, so the network's ok; and I can put an ogg file on my palm and play it, so the format's ok.

The strange thing is a search for "ogg" and "frontend" doesn't turn up anything! So am I the only one who has this problem? (Hint: all of our R5A16 CD's are the same, and there's no setup...)

I can get the exact error message if needed.

Due to the monolithic nature of "mythfrontend" and the graphics interface I can't deduce what programs or files actually play the file. If someone could enlighten me I could check out the running system. I'm reasonably knowlegeble about Linux.

You can watch TV with the frontend because it uses MythTV protocol to stream it from the backend. However for music, video, etc. you need file sharing between the two systems.

So...does this mean it's time to learn about NFS? Being in a world with a network and http and ftp and so on, it's kind of a surprise to learn I don't have file sharing! :?

You have to export the NFS share and also have Mysql given network access, I suspect with TV working you can access the DB. For the NFS you can try this script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Script created by Girkers aka
# Garth Kirkwood <garth@ontheside.dyndns.biz>
#
# Portions of code kindly donated by
# mjl

#Default Variables
sys="";
quest="Do you want to enable ";
ans="? [yn]:";
choice="";

#Export NFS share for Frontend access
 echo
 sys="options to allow Frontend Access";
 read -n1 -p "$quest$sys$ans" choice
 choice=$(echo $choice | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")
 echo
 if [[ ${choice} = "Y" ]]; then
   echo "/myth   *(rw)" >> /etc/exports
   /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start && update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults
   mv /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.old
   cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf.old | \
      sed -e 's/skip-networking/#skip-networking/g' > /etc/mysql/my.cnf
   echo
   echo $sys "command complete"
 else
  echo $sys "skipped"
 fi


NOT TESTED IN R5A22.

Nice little script. It should work w/o issue.
