    If it works and you don't miss any new features (if there are any), stick with this version, if not then move to a newer one. This container will not get updated. 

     

    Apart from features, I'm on the latest Kodi and Emby, I keep those updated...I fear one day it may no longer be compatible with this MythTV image.

    This has been working great for the last few years but since there are later versions of mythtv and more images on Docker Hub, what is the consensus (stick with this that works) - go with something newer (what is to be gained on newer versions of mythtv for headless purpose - I use it as a backend to kodi).

    TMM is a great - thanks for creating a docker app, unfortunately I forced an update hoping to get a new version, and now, even after removing the container and starting again, I get the following error in the browser or rdp connection to the container:

     

    "We were unable to download the necessary files after five attempts. You can try running the application again but if fails..<text obscured>" I assume the TMM links used to download updates may have changed since the version in your docker ?

     

    Anything I can do/check ?

     

    Were you able to resolve this? I downloaded it just now for the first time and that is all I am getting.

    Mythlink would give you proper show names that points to the mythtv numeric names.

     

    Does TVHeadend support the automatic expiration of shows? Like Show A, keep 10 recordings, delete oldest to make room for new ones? Also, is it simple to just give it my Schedules Direct creds and it grabs my EPG and keep it updated? Also, does it have scripts that can remove commercials?

     

    I wouldn't mind getting off mythTV also if I can find something that takes care of all those rules and also looks at the disk space and makes automated judgements on what to delete based on what I watched and the number of shows to keep I defined.

     

    Thanks to this Docker, it is painless to get going, but anything ligther, simpler and faster that can match those aforementioned features is worth a look.

    Hope that helps.

     

    BTW - What is the best Docker implementation of TVH out there?

     

    That's a lot of questions, I only had 1... LOL

    While this is a bit of thread derailment, I can answer some of them. For the others, hop over to the TvH thread and ask in there.

    The best Docker/thread is located here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37671.0 Install (preferably) from Community Applications.

    Does it support schedules direct? - Yes, easily - no. Meaning, it does support it natively, but setting it up is a bit of a cludge. For that specifically, look here (quoting myself here). http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37671.msg442261#msg442261 more info above that post.

     

    Remove commercials, yes, but have not used it as of yet.

    Expire recordings, I'm pretty certain yes, however wasn't spelled out exactly as "keep 10 recordings of XXX recording" however the specifics would be better asked in that thread, or better yet on the TvH forum or even the TvH subforum in Kodi.

     

    Thanks....yes, I can ask for sure....just trying to hit the main points if there was some reference feature comparison already done. Those are the main things I can't live without as I depend on them....but the little reading I did do on TVH seems to want to include those "clugy" ways which I am not a fan of as they usually are the first to break in upgrades. Oh well, always tradeoffs. I appreciate your feedback and may give it a go since that is one thing that Docker makes easy (i.e. not messing up your host system).

    Check out HandOfMyth. You can setup a User Job to be called when a recording is complete. In that way, MythTV passes the data to the script then you are free to then do what you want with the data. You can place it in /home/myth and have that bind mount to a path on your host so it doesn't need to be in the container. The User Job can be setup in MythWeb.

     

    Thanks!

    Only question is, I just want to have this run once to export recordings as I'm moving over to camp TvHeadend (nothing particularly wrong with Myth/this Docker, but channel change speed and LiveTv loading is blazing fast in TvH). Therefore I don't need it to run after the recordings, just the one time. Sounds like it will do what I need though, and I'll check it out.

    Question hoping someone can answer (someone here knows, I'm certain  ;) ).

     

    I'd like to export my MythTv recordings with (useful) proper file names.

    There are instructions on how to do this here http://parker1.co.uk/blog/?p=182 for a normal Myth/Ubuntu install.

    The part about old/new database is not needed.

    It's basically run the perl script, and Myth will rename the files from the info in its database, and make a copy somewhere.

     

    Can this be completed with this Docker? I fumbled around in the Docker with RDP but got nowhere.

    Not certain if this can be done natively, or if running a perl script is even supported without adding a package.

    Hi, I would like to run a slave instance to offload some user jobs from the master. Can you tell me what would be required. Do I just remove  the following scripts?

     

    /etc/my_init.d/003-bring-up-the-database.sh
/etc/my_init.d/005-bring-up-the-backend.sh
/etc/my_init.d/006-bring-up-mythweb.sh
