The testcase tests the installation and basic functionality of a Primary Backend with Frontend.
- Go though the Ubiquity install as you would any other install. Most options won't matter for this testcase, but be sure to choose the following options
-
- Do NOT name the user mythtv
- Automatic (Guided) Partitioning
- "Primary Backend w/ Frontend"
- "MythTV service" checkbox is checked
- If you have no remote, choose no remote suppport
- Once installation is finished, remove the installation media and reboot.
- Once the installed system boots, it will boot into the MythTV frontend. Exit the frontend by hitting escape and selecting "yes, exit now"
- Download a demo file. I recommend a MP4 trailer (for example, the 480p MP4 trailer at http://www.sintel.org/download ).
- Once downloaded, move this file to the /srv/ directory (it must be outside your home directory)
- Change ownership on the test file to mythtv:mythtv
- Open the Applications menu and choose system and then "Mythtv backend setup".
- Say yes to stop the running mythtv-backend service
- Once in mythtv-setup, go to "1. General"
- On the first screen, edit the following options
-
- IP Address (Under Local Backend): [use the machine's IP address (not 127.0.0.1)]
- Security PIN (required): 1234
- IP Address (Under Master Backend): [use the machine's IP address (not 127.0.0.1)]
- Hit next until you get back to the main menu
- Go to "2. Capture cards" and select "(New capture card)"
- Setup the new card using the following options
-
- Card Type: Import test recorder
- File path: file:/srv/sintel_trailer-480p.mp4
- When you put in the file path, it should detect the "File info" and "File size"
- Hit Finish, then escape to go back to the main menu
- Go to "4. Video sources" and select "(New video source)"
- Setup the video source with the following options
-
- Video source name: NoGrabber
- Listings grabber: No grabber
- Hit Finish, then escape to go back to the main menu
- Go to "5. Input connections", and select the only option in there (the DEMO recorder)
- Setup as follows
-
- Hit Next, then finish, then escape to go back to the main menu.
- Hit escape and exit the backend setup.
- You may get a warning that the tuner is set to start on a channel that doesn't exist. This can be safely ignored since we are using a test recorder.
- Select yes to start the backend
- Select no when prompted to run mythfilldatabase
- Start the frontend via Applications > Multimedia > MythTV Frontend
- Select "Watch TV".
- The demo video should start playing.
