Hi all. I need some help.
I'm new to Linux and XBMC, I dabbled a little with it and now I'm hooked and really like to get my project working.
What I wold like to do is.
Setup a HTPC in my living room connected to my LCD and surround sound serving my Bedroom ( LCD no surround sound ) through a Raspberry PI.
1. I would like to use my yuan 600 / Dimond 500 TV card's video input to get live TV from my multichoice set top box ( I'm not to phased about recording or pausing live TV, thats being handled by my multichoice HDPVR ) i just want to get the picture and audio without having to switch source on my TV.
2. I would like to be able to monitor my cctv Cameras that i want to connect to the system.
I have some hardware that i reclaimed from a dusty shelf. If what i want to do is possible I'll get better hardware.
ECS main board
1GB DDR2 RAM
Interl Celeron D 420 1.6 GHZ
Smasung DVD-RW
Yan 600 TV card
GeoVision GV-800 V3 16Ch DVR Card.
80GB HDD for Operating system
400GB & 250GB for media
Raspberr Pi - On order
I installed ubuntu 10.12 server with SSH & Samba and got Zoneminder working.
I Installed XBMC 12 and got that working to a point - I can not get the Live TV working.
I installed Mythtv Backend to control my TV card but now i keep getting a error " cannot connect to backend":-/
is the backend a must if i just ant to use my TV Card as a input? I dont want to use it to record.
Are there a Zoneminder add-on for XBMC that will allow me to monitor my cctv?
Thanks
