I had that same issue with MythTV.<br>
<br>
XBMC is an easy to use (relatively) front end that may be worth your
time. Last weekend the DC404 guys did a fairly extensive
demonstration and how-to presentation on XBMC and a few other tools
entitled <a
href="http://dc404.kaos.to/page4/files/Awesome_Vegan_Mediacenter.pdf">The
Most Awesome Vegan Mediacenter</a> .<br>
<br>
I spent a few hours setting XBMC up yesterday on an Eee - just the
XBMC stuff, not all the other downloading (sickbeard and SABnzdb)
stuff. I'm hooked. <br>
<br>
I've seen where some folks use MythTV to record and XBMC to playback
in a wife + kid friendly way. I'd like to have MythTV do the
recordings too ... someday. Ah, someday. For now, I'll just push
the content into the TV folders and movies into the Movie area that
XBMC understands.<br>
<br>
I'm ignorant on MythTV's magical internal workings and want to
understand too.<br>

<div>I understnad that there is TV in MythTV. But since my tuner
is not there yet, can I use Myth as an Entertainment be all
util.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example, I have ripped 10 dvd's and I have mpegs of those
in my backend server (which also runs the front end for now).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Whatever configuration I do, I am unable to see the mpeg
files show up in the front end. I am not sure what I am missing
but I was expecting</div>
<div>the front end to show the icons of the mpeg files (or iso),
so I can pick them and play.</div>

<div>Appreciate your time and any inputs to cure my ignorance.</div>
