Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 7:16 pm Post subject: Which HTPC frontend ? |
|
|
Hello,
I'm runnng Gentoo KDE. The X/KDE session is on VT7.
I'd like to have an HTPC frontend running from a new X session (say, VT8), on a different resolution (800x600), with the following features :
- play music
- play avi files wih subtitles
- play dvd
- show DVB TV from my DVB card
and possibly handle tv programs from xmltv or like.
LAST : I'm not a hacker, and i'd like an 'easy to configure' thing
Any good idea with the frontend i should use ? |

Thanks, that is more or less the idea I had come up with.
Now, i'm just wondering how to open an X session in VT8 with a specific resolution (800x600). There does not seem to be arguments to 'startx' for this ... |
