i have both my master backend and my secondary backend/frontend working for the most part. i do need to share the video directories so each box doesn’t need a local copy but i’m still trying to figure out the best way to do that.
traditionally on a single backend/frontend you would just toss your videos in /var/lib/mythtv/video , but now i need a different structure to allow for me to mount the remote video directory w/out stomping on the local video directory. i’m thinking the easiest way to do this is to create a host directories in the default video location and see what happens.

ha! it works. watching a video over the network in mythvideo. i’m going to have to monitor my network for a few days to see how much traffic is being generated, but i’m really happy with the way mythbuntu 8.04 is looking. 10 days till ubuntu 8.04 is released so it’s not long till the mythbuntu 8.10 release either.
