run Mythbuntu from my DVD players (by using the USB input)

[Mr.mouse]

i have DVD players with USB input, with this USB i can play my moves by plugging my disk on key.

i would like to use my USB input to run Mythbuntu form my disk on key so i could:
1. play moves from my disk on key with more flexibility
2. record TV show
3. play music
...


is this possible ?

You mean can you run x86 code (mythbuntu) on some random DVD player? Nope.

Its possible given the somewhat garbled english :) what he actually means is the ability to play movies/music on his USB stick through MythTV - a somewhat more reasonable question.

Actually, I bet you can. I'm running Mythbuntu on my microwave. Only problem is I can only watch TV for 60 seconds at a time. :popcorn:

I use my coffee machine (http://www.boingboing.net/2002/12/08/coffeemaking-pc-case.html) to run Mythbuntu

I have a networked dvd player that runs linux. I bet someone with more time and skills than me could run mythbuntu on it (it also has a usb input). I used to have a roku HD-1000 and I ran mythroku on that... You never know.

If you put Mythbuntu on a tape drive you could probably run it on a VCR.
