Centos 5 Mythtv 0.20 Themes

MythTV is "themeable", meaning that the visual appearance of the program can be modified by the user without re-compiling or altering the program functionality. Download the MythThemes tarball from the website and untar it:

$ tar -xjf myththemes-0.20.tar.bz2
$ cd ~/myththemes-0.20
$ qmake myththemes.pro
$ su -
# make install
# exit
$

The theme will now be available in the mythfrontend Appearance section.

Mythtv Plugins on Centos 5

tar xvjf mythplugins-0.20a.tar.bz2
cd mythplugins-0.20a
./configure --enable-all

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-17.html

Download FLAC from http://flac.sourceforge.net and install:

$ tar -xzf flac-1.1.2.tar.gz
$ cd flac-1.1.2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# make install
# exit
$

yum -y install cdparanoia

http://www.underbit.com/products/mad

I had to install all 3 by hand, it wasn't finding the libmad or id3tag even though there was an rpm already installed

I also had to do FLAC & CD Paranoia by hand. I'm probably just missing a variable which is why it won't find these packages. For CD Paranoia I had to use release 10. 9 kept giving me a make error for some reason.

cd /tmp/mythplugins-0.20a
./configure --enable-all
qmake mythplugins
make -j 2
make install

This didn't install mythmusic, flac was giving me an error.
I make uninstalled flac and reinstalled it with yum.
then the following worked

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-17.html

$ cd ~/mythplugins-0.20
$ ./configure --disable-all --enable-mythmusic --enable-fftw --enable-sdl --enable-aac
$ qmake mythplugins.pro
$ make
$ su
# make install
# exit

Complete ting the mythweb installation
