MythTV to iPod
Need a way to move your TV shows from your MythTV rig to your shiny new 5G iPod? Yeah, I thought not. But one guy did, so he's hacking up a little method to do just that. Myth2iPod is currently at Beta .8, but showing great signs of promise. Of particular note is the MythWeb interface the author is also working on. You'd be able to manage feeds and job queues remotely with this component. I have yet to dedicate the hardware for a MythTV box, despite Kevin Rose's excellent how-to on the subject, but I have admired it from afar. While the Mac inches closer to some variant of HTPC, you can't beat MythTV for the MAME functionality and pure geekiness of it all. I mean, my entire Britney Spears collection in Ogg!

MythTV is actually a great platform to code an automatic iPod filler for. Personally, I've been fighting with a kludged together Azureus + scripting to autodump TV shows. It would be a joy to have something on a backend deal with conversion, non-duplication, show watching history etc. I can't wait to try this once I get my Myth system up and running after my move.

Dude.. this rocks so much. I can't wait to get home and install this on my Mythbox.
