<p>@phil: yes its completly modular. but in earlier stage of development. svn repository is available:</p>
<p>svn co <a class="reference" href="https://www.umaxx.net/svn/mediacat/">https://www.umaxx.net/svn/mediacat/</a></p>
<p>but completly broken at the moment - because under heavy development...</p>
<p>@GreyFox: last versions of mythtv i tried was 0.10 until 0.15 - these versions i run under gentoo and debian - there were buggy, and often crashs.</p>
<p>maybe there changed a lot since - i'll check out the latest svn and will try to use it under openbsd... if i find some time.</p>
<p>but i think it is not possible to use mythtv as tv-recorder under openbsd because there is no video4linux in openbsd...
IMHO mythtv has to much dependecies. why did i need a database in the backend??? why is it written in c++/qt?</p>

<blockquote>
umaxx,</blockquote>
<p>What Bugs are you referring to in MythTV? using 0.18 release or SVN?
Frontend or Backend?</p>
<p>Not long ago changes were commited to get the frontend and most plugins running under OpenBSD but to date not one OpenBSD user has submitted any bug reports so it makes it hard to fix bugs that noone is made aware of.</p>
<p>I'll run through the source and and make sure that SVN as of today still compiles and runs under OpenBSD.</p>

<p>Yeah i found it .. Is there a 0.2 snapshot or public source repository available somewhere ?</p>
<p>Is your HTPC solution easy to extend ?</p>

<p>after i having the same problems:
mythtv iss tooo buggy.
freevo is fucking huge.
i want to run it under openbsd.</p>
<p>i decided to write my own application: called mediabox. of course: mdiabox is pure python, but less dependencies as freevo. complete rewrite of bad structured 0.1 is version 0.2 is coming soon...</p>
<p>another hint is pycar... check google.</p>
