Thanks for this. Looks like an interesting plugin :)


I've managed to get it to compile but not got it to run properly yet.
I'm missing some dependencies that I'm still trying to fix.


A few initial things I noticed :-


There's at least two binary files that shouldn't be in the git repo
'MythApps/mythapps/libmythapps.so' and 'MythApps/theme/themenop'.

You will probably want to add a .gitignore file so git will ignore those
files in the future.


The file 'MythApps/mythapps/theme.pro' is a symlink to a non existent
file so the compile fails. I've attached the theme.pro file I used to
get it to compile.


Anyone trying this may need to install libqt5websockets5 and/or
libqt5websockets5-dev since a standard MythTV install doesn't use either
of those.


Also requires xdotool and kodi to be installed. That's as far as I got
tonight there may be other dependencies I've yet to discover.

As suggested, the binary files have been removed and the correct theme file committed.
The setting menu should list any missing programs once the plugin is running.

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a new mythfrontend plugin I've written called MythApps that allows you to view most video on demand services, IPTV and 4k YouTube with a consistent interface, remote support and mythtv theming.
It supports Linux, Android and Windows. If anyone manages to get this compiled and finds this useful, I would like to know how you got on and if there are any major bugs or missing features required?
