Patriot Box Office Netbox as Myth FrontEnd

The Patriot Box Office (PBO) will NOT run mythfrontend software. That said, it comes with a uPNP client interface and enough network connectivity to use as a small, HD compatible, frontend for your Myth system. Note that you cannot play nupple video files on it. If you record from PVR-250/150/500 cards, from HdHomeRun or from PCHDTV or anything else that produces mpeg2 files you should be good to go. HD-PVR recordings play fine on the PBO.

Basic Configuration

1. Unpack the PBO, attach to your TV and your network. It uses DHCP by default — you probably want to change this.
2. Go to the setup screen, select the ‘Network’ category. Verfy DHCP is on and gets an address.
3. make sure your Myth server is up — including the uPNP feature.
4. Now use the left/right arrows to go to the ‘Browser» screen
5. scroll down or up to the uPNP option and select it.
6. you should see your myth box there. If you select it you should have the videos/music/recording items listed. Choose recordings.
7. now choose any subcategory (like «By Date») and select it. Should show you the recordings of that date.
8. Choose any recording and select it. Should show in the preview pane on the right. If not it may not be a standard format — nupple video will not work!
9. Hit the Play button. Should start playing.

Problems seen so far

• when backing-out out of playing a show, the uPNP browser is empty. Either restart the PBO (hit power button on remote to turn it off and then turn back on again) or browse all the way back to home (try the upper right «home» key on the remote). Then go back into the browser/uPNP/MythName/Recordings area and see if your shows are again listed.
• If I rip a DVD ISO with Myth, PBO plays it torn up. If I rip individual vob files, they play great.
• Only one device at a time can be «connected» via uPnP. I have an ASUS O’Play and PBO if either one is browsing recordings, the other does not show the myth uPnP server.

Tips and Tricks

• Firmware Updating. Put the install.img file on a USB flash drive. Go to the setup screen, System category. Choose update system. The update may take a couple of minutes or more — be patient!
• telnet into your PBO: username is root, no password. (You need to know its IP address for this, you can set a static IP address with the Network configuration screen under Network). You get a pretty complete busybox session.
• Static NFS mounting of media on your backend. Login to your PBO as root (see above), change to the /usr/local/etc dir and edit the «rcS» file with vi. Add this to the end of the file (you need to replace the names and the paths with entries appropriate for your network). Content is this file is preserved across PBO restarts:

Audience Reviews for The Patriot

• Dec 22, 2015

  It’s certainly watchable (if nothing else, Emmerich can stage large scale battle scenes quite well) but thematically muddled. On the one hand it’s a corny action epic filled with sentimentality and anachronisms and on the other, it’s a brutal revenge thriller about the personal costs of war. Rather than fully commit to either of these narratives the movie awkwardly splits the difference between the two which leads to a pretty disjointed viewing experience.

  I’m ashamed to admit that I really, really like this film considering who the director is. So let me say that the film drags in lots of places. And the acting, while good, is not excellent. I encourage rental as opposed to purchase.

  It was one of those slow days when I decided to watch Mel Gibson’s The Patriot which I oddly like enough for a positive rating. While historically inaccurate and misrepresentations of events, I found it enjoyable.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The Patriot is a melodrama that follows one man’s revenge against a British officer and it just so happens his vengeance helps American in the American Revolution. Which I kid you not is the actual plot of this movie and drags out to a three hours movie which is too long. The movie plot is so-so, we often get characters that are important to our protagonist but are never truly develop nor worth caring about. The best way to define this movie is propaganda, I’ve done actual research on the actual historical figure that Gibson character is based of and he was a awful person. He repeatedly raped his slaves and killed Indians for fun, yet in the movie he’s portrayed as a family man who fights for noble cause so historical accuracy is absent here. I’ve found a total of ten mistakes from watching the movie before the thirty minute mark, so strictly watch this as a movie and don’t seriously take in anything this movie tells you. What it does do right is having Gibson in the main role. His acting is good here and actually makes this glorification of a awful man in history tolerable to watch. The rest of the cast are also good, though some characters just appear in the movie at random whenever the movie wants them too. The actors make this watchable and are the best part of the movie, to bad the script plot wasn’t as good. The battle scenes are done well, though this is the American Revolution so don’t expect anything worth caring from these also inaccurate battle scenes. The imagery is good, but again, it is propaganda and a glorification of a awful historical figure.

  The Patriot…. historically inaccurate and despite my problems with it, it was good enough to get a positive rating from me. While it’s a good time waster I wouldn’t recommended to anyone no matter how much free time they have, just to much glorification for anyone take in a single day.

  The Patriot is a magnificent and compelling Revolutionary War epic. The film follows the story of Benjamin Martin, who reluctantly joins the American Revolution in order to save his family. The cast is spectacular, and includes Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, and Tom Wilkinson. The actors all give excellent performances and have good chemistry together; which makes the story all the more dramatic and moving. Additionally, the costumes and set designs are quite elaborate and help give the film an authentic feel. And the battle sequences are breathtaking. The Patriot is a powerful and thrilling war epic that delves into the American Revolution as never before.
