✨ NCID-MYTHTV ✨

okay so bestie, you found the ncid-mythtv page from the NCID manual set — this is the one that puts Caller ID on your TV, and honestly? it's giving "I screen my calls but make it cinema." 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncid-mythtv — display Caller ID on MythTV using mythtvosd 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ncid --no-gui --module ncid-mythtv

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the ncid-mythtv output module is a MythTV display program. That's the whole vibe: it displays the Caller ID or a message on a TV. No cap, that's it, that's the job. 📺✨

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

The ncid-mythtv output module is configured in ncid-mythtv.conf. Yes, one file, and it's the blueprint for your whole TV-caller-ID fantasy. 🧚

• allowed_types — this sets the NCID call and/or message types that ncid-mythtv will send. Wanna know the full list of types? Go peek at ncid-mythtv.conf, it's all spelled out there. Default: allowed_types="ALLTYPES"
• mythtv_bcastaddr[N] — this one must be set to the MythTV broadcast address. Multiple clients are supported, because why stop at one TV when you can have the whole household on main character energy. N starts at 0 and increases by one for each client. For example, two clients might look like this:

mythtv_bcastaddr[0]=127.0.0.1
mythtv_bcastaddr[1]=10.0.0.1

Default: mythtv_bcastaddr[0]=127.0.0.1

---

💜 REQUIREMENTS 💜

You need the mythutil command line application from the mythtv-frontend package. That's the non-negotiable.

Heads up bestie: if mythutil is not present, ncid-mythtv will not send output to MythTV. Like, at all. 😭 The module just sits there being cute and useless.
