iphone mythtv frontend

check it out! chris carey just released a mythtv frontend for the iphone. not only can you stream your mythtv collection to your iphone, but you can also control your mythtv box from your iphone![here]

i’ve been having issues w/ /dev/dsp not being available lately and it’s because nxesd keeps hanging around on my system.

$ sudo lsof | grep dsp
nxesd 11945 flipp 4w CHR 14,3 10785 /dev/dsp

yup. nxclient/nxserver use esd (the enlightenment sound daemon) to manage pushing sound w/ the remote display. i’m not sure why it’s grabbing /dev/dsp for a session where i disabled multimedia support but killing off the nxesd process fixed sound. to fix it permanently, just change your sound playback device to esd in system>preferences>sound.

in 78 minutes i will have 600gb of raid 5 disk space. perhaps cooler than doing this in less that 5 commands is the fact that i was doing it remotely on the t105. dynamic dns is a good thing and since nxclient just uses ssh traffic i didn’t have to port forward more than one
