###MythTV Setup ####Install & Configure MythTV 0.27 or 0.28 1. If you build from source and you want HLS transcoding you must successfully set
`--enable-libx264`.
However, HLS transcoding is not needed unless you want to conserve data. 2. Run mythtv-setup on the backend server you want to stream from. - Under General settings make sure your IP address(es) are not set to 127.0.0.1. (Note: this step is also needed on any mythfrontend boxes where frontend playback via Mythling is desired). - Storage Groups: - For video playback you'll need the *Videos* storage group. - For music you must create the *Music* storage group. As long as you have this storage group pointed to the directory that holds your music, you don't need the [MythMusic](https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythMusic) plugin to listen to music on Mythling. - For artwork to display in Mythling you need at least one of the artwork storage groups configured (*Coverart*, *Fanart*, *Banners*, *Screenshots*) - Create a *Streaming* storage group if you want HLS transcode output directed somewhere other than the default (~/.mythtv/tmp/hls). - To support the *Record & Transcode* menu option in Mythling EPG: - General > Allow transcoding jobs - Recording Profiles > (Selected Recorder) > (Default Profile) > Enable auto-transcode after recording 3. Test [MythTV Service](http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Services_API) access. With your mythbackend running: - http://backendip:6544/Status/GetStatus 4. To play music on a frontend using Mythling, enable [Frontend Control Socket](http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_control_socket): - Run mythfrontend and under General Setup options, check "Enable Network Remote Control Interface". ###Mythling Setup ####Install & Configure Mythling 1.
