how many packages to download for myth

Wondering how many packages besides the mythtv.x86_64 are needed to be downloaded in order to just get mythtv up and running for ota broadcasts?

I'm sure that there is a dnf argument that would provide that information, assuming MythTV is in the Fedora repos, but I don't know what it is. I would also expect that, if you asked dnf to install mythtv, it would provide a list of all the packages to be installed for approval, just as yum does.

I went to Slackbuilds.org to see what it said because Linux is Linux. It lists 12 discrete dependencies for MythTV, including

Code:

MySQL-python, lame, libass, x264, xvidcore, urlgrabber, perl-Net-UPnP, lxml, faac, perl-IO-Socket-INET6, perl-http-message, libwww-perl

Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry to be tardy on responding, was hospitalized. That solves it for me. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how well it is working? What tuner do you use.

I've tried a few stabs at Kodi myth but never really got too far. Lucky for me my cheap fire tablet has Kodi on it with silicondust.
