Headless backend

[zkab]

Hi,

I am new to Mythtv and installed it on Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (15.04) server which is a headless server that will not have any GUI whatsoever - sits on a LAN.
How can I configure Mythtv backend - can it be done by a browser from another machine on the LAN ... <IP-address for backend:xxxx>
Have not found this in documentation - only that I should run '/usr/bin/mythtv-setup' but I don't have any GUI on my backend ...

Being able to configure the backend via a web browser is currently a work in progress. For the moment you should use ssh with x-forwarding and run mythtv-setup on the server.

Code: Select all

$ ssh -X <myserver>

Stuart
