Use mvpmc with the -s flag to specify the IP address of the MythTV server. If you also use the -r flag to specify the NFS mount point of the MythTV recordings directory, then you will play your MythTV recordings via NFS (If you have multiple backends, use -r with a colon-seperated list for each directory in which to look for recordings). If not, you will play them via the Myth protocol.

Use the MENU key when the recording is highlighted to bring up the episode menu. From there you can either delete the recording, or delete it while allowing future recordings.

You can watch and delete your recordings, as well as view the upcoming recording schedule. You can also watch live tv on any available tuner. Additional functionality, such as scheduling of recordings, commercial skip, etc are not supported at this time.

Live TV does not currently work with MythTV 0.19. mvpmc is capable of of playing live TV with older versions of MythTV. You can watch live TV either via the filesystem or the myth protocol. If you use the -b option to mvpmc, you can tell mvpmc which directory contains the ringbuffer. If you do not use the -b option, then live tv will be played via the myth protocol. When you select live TV, you will be given a menu containing all of the programs currently being broadcast.

Okoro Media Systems is dedicated to giving our customers a choice of the best hardware and software available for the HTPC market. In order to do this, we must evaluate and test new software with all off our systems. This way we can make sure that our customers can just enjoy their HTPC when it arrives. MythTV is not available due to the high learning curve of Linux for our end users. If we were to offer MythTV, Okoro Media Systems would not offer support for the hardware.

This is because MythTV itself only ever supports one protocol version at a time, while mvpmc tries to be compatible with all versions of MythTV. So mvpmc starts with protocol 8, and MythTV will tell it what protocol version it should be speaking, and mvpmc will then switch to the correct version.

You are probably transcoding your recordings to a format that the MediaMVP is not capable of playing. Your recordings need to be in mpeg1/mpeg2 format.
