Planning to get myth tv set up as i'm going to add a htpc downstair soon and i also want to be able to access all my files upstairs as well and have a server which can record.
Now on the upstairs pc i'm planning to dualboot Vista and Mythbuntu so i can swap between the two when i want to. My downstairs HTPC will just run only mythbuntu and i can set both of these up fine.
My server i'll install ubuntu and add mythbuntu over the top on thier website.
I also want to be able to use my server as a nas so i'm going to add apache on which i feel i may need help installing. I've looked but it seems really complicated as i've never really used linux before.
My final thing i really need help on though is the file formats that myth tv will play.
My major ones will be...
The files in which it will record tv shows in (i assume it'll play these)
DVD Rips (these will be either ISO's or VOB's)
and finally i need to know whether it will play my Blu Ray and HD DVD rips.
I'd also like to know how to add the files onto myth tv so how would i go about adding a dvd rip.
EDIT: Would like to point out that i do own the DVD's/Blu Ray but i just can't be bothered to go upstairs and get the disc when i can have it on a server (plus it's cheaper to only have one drive instead of one for each machine)
