Just some words of encouragement rather than any real help. This is extremely good news. I currently just stream my recordings using mediaserv, but a full frontend would be wonderful. I also use VNC for a lot of control of the frontend including setting recordings and starting user jobs.
Any chance of a early release, just for control purposes.
Cheers

Thanks Gaz! 
I'll probably release something experimental when the project gets some hosting space on the maemo garage, I'll post the link here when I do.

shiny! But not sure why you'd want to port the backend though, can't exactly record can you?
even without playback this would be cool for scheduling recordings, better than mythweb. and if video and music playback could be achieved then awesome.
And I was planning on doing an upgrade to .21 this weekend anyway

Yani,
this is great news. I would be happy already to have the frontend to schedule recordings and be able to delete recordings. I already use the N800 as a remote for my MythTV client using the "irreco" tool which supports the TCPIP interface of myth frontend.
Keep up the good work.
PS: I am using two S100 (zenega) boxes as mythfrontend

Wow, seems really good news. But, as a newbie that I am, I should ask: how are we gonna be allowed to watch cable TV if we don’t have tuner cards for the tablets? Or: what could we do with MythTV on our tablets?

About the lack of video playback. Is the problem not that the video has a bitrate of 5000kb/s+? I found that Mplayer will not play anything reliable more than about 1000Kb/s. I have several downloaded movies which are about 800kb/s which work great, but DVDs ripped down using myth to about 1500kb/s will not play reliably. They just miss loads of frames and skip all over the place on my N800 (os2008).
It may be worth transcoding some recordings down to a size known to be playable on the N8x0 and then try. It may work.

Hey, this is really cool! I have been intimidated by other efforts to use MythTV on my N800, and this one looks like it will be a familiar interface for me to use.

There are also some SD MPEG2 encoding TV tuners (like the PVRUSB2) that would work well.

Really I'm hoping I can port the backend to the n770 and use my old n770 as a lightweight slave backend, but I'd have to use a powered usb hub for sure with the 770.

Hi everyone!
Inspired by the QT4 port and running the UI over SSH on the n810, I decided I was going to try to port MythTV to OS2008. Yes I'm aware of mobile mythtv, but it's not a substitute for a real frontend, and I don't see any reason why not to use the full frontend!
To make life "easy" I decided to try to port the mythtv-QT4 branch, which only needs QT4 (like the next version of mythtv 0.22 will). At the moment the branch works fine with mythtv 0.21 servers.
In the end it turns out the maemo QT4 libqt4-sql port doesn't include mysql support! So I had to recompile QT4 and add it in, in addition I have been working on porting QT3, and have it compiling, but have a minor bug in the packaging to fix before I can release that. So at this point I'll probably be going back and looking at MythTV 0.21 with QT3 done.
I've got a preliminary port of both the backend and frontend together in the past few days. I've only tested out the frontend so far and I have some teaser pics:
The UI seems to be working fine and is fast and responsive (sorry for the ugly theme, but it is the default for some reason - I much prefer mythcenter). However live previews aren't showing (although from the log it looks like they are trying to play).
Similarly playing video using XV isn't showing either. There also isn't any audible audio:
This might actually just be a bug of the current svn version of mythtv-qt4 in fact, key is:
Anyway I'm starting up a project on the garage for it, and as soon as that project is approved I'll probably start to post some code. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone around here who knows more about the DSP and video on the n810 helped me look into things at that point.
