It's been a while since I did a complete install and build using the Web
App for setup.
So this morning I created a new VM with Debian 12 Gnome. I installed the
complete mythtv v34 package that gets built on another VM everytime the
Ubuntu packages change.
Before I used Web App, I used the backend helper script from the old
pi-utils from https://github.com/MikeB2013/pi-utils. My only change to that
was the mythtv version to master and the php to 8,2 which are variables up
front.
Once that was completed, I opened up the Web App and it immediately found
that everything was cool with the backend and I moved on setting up the
rest of the options. I set up 4 HDHR tuners since I have a HDHR Quatro.
When I got to the Video source I switched over to a terminal and as user
mythtv, I set up the Multi national json sqlite grabber per the wiki and
went back to the Web app and set up the rest of the stuff. I used the Scan
that loads the HDHR favorites since it's faster than a full scan. Next I
set up the Storage directories that the mythtv backend helper script
created.
After that I clicked on Restart the backend in the web app and it started
everything correctly. I did go back to the terminal and run
mythfilldatabase as user mythtv to populate the EPG.
One thing that would make setup much easier is to fix the
mariadb.conf.d/mythtv.cnf file with the bind-address=* so remote
mythtfrontends work. Not an issue if using a Firetv and Leanfront, which I
do but I have to test mythfrontend for completeness.
BTW, mythweb doesn't work anymore on Debian. I have not pursued it any
further since it is much easier to use the Web App for everything that
mythtv-setup and mythweb used to do.
Thanks for all the great work on this new app.
