Is it OK to create the video4linux device nodes?

mythtv-setup must be run in order to complete MythTV installation

You must run mythtv-setup as a user in the 'mythtv' group in order to complete mythtv configuration. Note that this program requires an X display, so you must either login to an X session as a user in the 'mythtv' group, or otherwise arrange for that user to have access to your X display.

You must complete all four steps presented in the program.

Once you have done this, you may start the backend by executing the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start

What database should be used to hold MythTV data:

If a database with this name already exists, it will be used.

What username should MythTV use to access its database:

This user will automatically be granted appropriate permissions to the database.

What password should MythTV use to access its database:

If you give an empty password, a random one will be generated.

On what host does the MySQL server reside:

You must run mythtv-setup as a user in the 'mythtv' group in order to complete mythtv configuration.

If you are not in the mythtv group when launching setup, you will be given the opportunity to be automatically added.

The Ubuntu MythTV packages generate a random MySQL password.

The generated password for this machine is '${password}'. If you are adding this machine to an existing mythtv-network, you will want to update this password to the one in use by the network after completing installation.

This can be done by: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common'.

In case you forget this password, it is also stored in '/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt'.

tv_grab_de, tv_grab_na, tv_grab_sn, tv_grab_uk, tv_grab_uk_rt

Which XMLTV grabber should be used to retrieve program listings:

- tv_grab_na retrieves listings for North America (US and Canada) - tv_grab_de retrieves listings for Germany and Austria - tv_grab_sn retrieves listings for Sweden or Norway - tv_grab_uk retrieves listings for the United Kingdom - tv_grab_uk_rt retrieves listings for the United Kingdom (alternate)

Which television standard should be used by MythTV:

Which channel frequency table should be used by MythTV:

WARNING: old MythTV binaries found

It appears that you have installed mythtv from source previously, and some files remain from the previous installation, including at least:

${files}

Installation of these packages should succeed, but you MUST remove these files in order for the packaged version of MythTV to work properly.

What is the name of the MySQL administrator account:

This information will be used to create a database and user for MythTV.

Unless you have explicitly changed this on the MySQL server, and understand MySQL's privilege system, use the default of 'root'.

What is the password for the MySQL administrator account '${user}':

Unless you have explicitly changed the password on the MySQL server, leave this blank.

Will you be using other computers running MythTV?

If you will be using any other computers with MythTV, this computer needs to be configured to allow remote connections. Do you want to enable remote connectivity?

Note that this is a security risk, as both the MythTV and MySQL services will be exposed. Be sure to place this machine behind a firewall.

If you have multiple interfaces, the first one listed in 'ifconfig' will be used.

What is the hostname of the system where the MythTV backend is installed:

On what port number is the MythTV server listening:
