Paging Myth (Mythbuntu) Gurus

Just set up the living room PC with Mythbuntu - to replace Vista and WMC
because it was getting slower and slower each time it installed a
Microsoft bug fix.

All going OK apart from the image gallery. The pics are all stretched to
fit the screen (16:9 HDTC connected via HDMI and running 1920x1080).

Movies etc are fine...ish...

Any thoughts?

Ta... That should sort it...

 

Unfortunately not. I have tried several different flavours of Myth (the
last one was Mythdora I think) and couldn't get it to work reliably.
(Kept getting kernel crashes when changing channels). I might give this
one a try one day. I still find xbmc the most reliable one out there -
it just works for me, but no live tv of course.

 

And I'm not even going to charge you for the advice.

BTDTGTTS

Didn't help...

Ta though...

 

Wait until you get the "How do Install Mythbuntu on this apple?" post.

 

Wanders off to try it... Ta

 

What the ****'s 'Mythbuntu', anyway?

Or you could jfgi - this any use?

I'd done that... Again - it doesn't work properly - images still
stretched...

 

You're all heart.

 

Bad advice is worthless. You could at least have pointed him to a
version of OSX which would run on his PC.

For hours of endless fun http://www.osx86project.org/
Try Kalyway, iATKOS or iDeneb versions.

 

Yes, indeed. And quality comes at a price.

Hmm. There are a few people here who've done the 'Mac OS-X on a PC'
thang, and they speak highly of it. 'can't see the point, myself...

Shits and giggles.

 

You is the man...

Bloody excellent. Much better at playing DVD's from the server and much
much better at rendering images.

Ta. Ubuntu and XBMC is the kiddy!

 

Also it's fooking fast.
I was told some reasons at the time that sounded really very convincing,
but my local music studio has a hackintosh for fast rendering jobs where
apple hardware apparently just won't cut it. TBH it sounds more faffy
than making linux audio low latency.

 

Nice. I hadn't actually tried it on Linux (still running mine on an
xbox), but I found it pretty good for both videos and photos. (Audio as
well of course)

 

for fewer keystrokes you could have googled and got an immediate answer.
