   * Get LIRCD up and running BEFORE you compile MPlayer as it will autodetect it if you have it up when you compile MPlayer.  (So the remote will work while watching Video, not Recordings)
   * EDIT /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql "SKIP NETWORKING TRUE!" is the default in Slackware 10.2 !?!?!?! argh.... 1 hour wasted figuring out why I couldn't connect to the database remotely!?
+===== Human Readable File Names =====
+  * Note this is specific to Mythbuntu
+  - Create a directory under recordings that you can write to:  <code>
+sudo mkdir /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+sudo chgroup video /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+</code>
+  - Use the **mythlink.sh** scripts with a couple modifications to make the directories and links to your files whenever you need them.

+===== Compiling Xine =====
+So we can use the remote, we need to compile our own xine so it seems that LIRC is running.
+Just grab the source off a slackware page and build the package like they do:
+<code>
+cd /usr/local/src/
+mkdir xine
+cd xine
+wget ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-11.0/patches/source/xine-lib/*
+chmod 755 xine-lib.SlackBuild
+./xine-lib.SlackBuild
+#### gui ####
+cd /usr/local/src/
+mkdir xine_gui
+cd xine_gui
+wget ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-11.0/source/xap/xine-ui/*
+chmod 755 xine-ui.SlackBuild
+./xine-ui.SlackBuild

   * I love this thing.  It costs $0/month to have HDTV recording to a local drive shared to the LAN.
   * The quality of over the air ATSC HDTV is just amazing.  I never imagined it would be so clear and at such a high bitrate over a UHF antenna.
 ====== MythTv Upgrade ======
@@ Line 553: / Line 641: @@
 Since the listings went away due to the abuse of ZapToIt Labs... I have paid for the subscription to the non-profit listings, forcing an upgrade of mythtv, so I might as well document what I did to get it up and going again.
+  * BACKUP your database before you do this, i nixed my card, and now it won't find it...ARGH!
   * kill (killall) the running daemon on the backend and I took the front end machine to run level 3 effectively killing that machine too.
   * uploaded all the code to **/usr/local/src/mythtv-0.20.2** and untar it there.
