[mythtv-users] Compiled/installed 0.17
Well this evening went for a 0.16->0.17 upgrade and logged the following "funnies" :- MythWeb access to MythWeather data still broke for my (UK) location - the days of week are incorrect - MSN datasource day1 == Sunday but code assumes day1 == Monday, edited themes/Default/weather.php to correct day of week -> day name mappings and all is well. Something about my existing Db setup caused the DVB EIT program guide update code to try and insert everything against a channel id of 1000 - which failed. Eventually I trashed my existing Db and let 0.17 run against a fresh(empty) Db and all was well. Am now up and running with 0.17 - schweet.

[mythtv-users] Transcoding settings for DVB source
Hi, I've just edited commercials out of a DVB sourced program and the resultant transcoded file size was about 3x the original!! So I looked at my transcoding settings and changed the target coded to MPEG4 from RTjpeg. This results in smaller file sizes i.e. less than the original rather than more :-) BUT, the transcoded program seems to have "forgotten" that it's a widescreen program and starts playing in 4:3 format. If I change the ratio to 16:9 manually then it looks fine *but* I have to manually switch aspect ratio whereas the pre-transcoded original would automatically detect and switch to 16:9. Is there anything I can do to set transcoding to preserve the automatic widescreen detection ?

[mythtv-users] MythWeb WAP interface broken
Hi, After installing MythWeb and getting it working with a conventional browser I thought I'd try accessing it with my phone WAP browser. The channel list and program guide pages work fine but the program detail page which allows you to record a program doesn't work i.e. I can't schedule a recording. Looking under the covers at the PHP code shows incompatibility between the controlling program_detail.php module and the WAP specific program_detail.php file. For example, the WAP program_detail.php creates a HTML form and specifies that the form should use the "get" method of submitting the form details whereas the controlling program_detail.php code which is then invoked looks for passed parameters using the $_POST[''] method. Unsurprisingly the controlling invoked code can't find the passed parameters and doesn't invoke its "schedule new recording" code. I've had a look in CVS and can't see any patches to rectify this. Does anyone have the WAP i/f fully operational or is WAP support/development a dead duck these days ;-) ? I'm willing to put in the legwork to get it working and submit a patch if I'm correct in my understanding of it being broken. Cheers, Andy. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I used the stock 2.6.10 kernel patched with the video4linux DVB driver code. Have you tried running the MAKEDEV.sh script after reboot (can't remember what it's distributed with) ? Basically it uses mknod commands to create the correct dvb/adapter directories/nodes. I used this as an interim step to get the devices created and verify that my card was being recognised. I then worked on getting udev setup correctly so that the script wasn't required. I'd advise a similar approach! Andy.

I've got the devices being created automatically under FC3 2.6.10 but
I had to do a bit of udev hacking around, specifically the permissions
settings, to get it working. Can't remember the exact details at the
moment, will check and post when I get home.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythWeb Error
Have you tried allowing full access to your video directory ? chmod a+rwx The error reported is a permissions one i.e. the file being referenced exists but the permissions are not set correctly.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Help: getting lirc working under FC3 with aHauppauge Nova-t DVB card
I've got the new Nova-t card with remote and have got it working with Myth 0.16 using lircd 0.70 under FC3, kernel 2.6.10. I used the instructions from here :- http://spamtastic.demon.co.uk/v4l/ Works very nicely, next step is to get Myth picking up the remote 'events' directly and drop the need for lircd. Andy.

Re: [mythtv-users] Avermedia DVB-T remote
You could run lircd in "event" mode :- lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event3 -p 660 /etc/lircd.conf Then compile in native lirc support into Myth, setup a ~/.mythtv/lircd mapping file and off you go On the DVB card, the Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card is pretty good, I got one from PC World currently on sale at £50.

[mythtv-users] Mythweb install error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
Hi,
Trying to get MythWeb up and running but when I point the browser at the
homepage then I get:-
Warning at /var/www/html/mythweb/includes/init.php, line 63:

I can connect to the Db on the command line:-

Re: [mythtv-users] Skipping adverts in UK using DVB-T - supported ?
My TV when in 'auto' mode often switches to/from 16:9 when the ad break appears so I guess there is a physical change ? I think this would be a useful detection trigger to add to the list! Andy.

Re: [mythtv-users] Nova-t remote with linux 2.6
Hi, I got my Nova-t remote working with Myth last night after a couple of days frustrating effort. I use Fedora Core 3 and kernel 2.6.10, lircd 0.7. My Nova-t card is one of the newer conexant based models with the remote receiver plugged into the back of the card. The remote is the black/grey Hauppauge control. What worked for my setup:- 1. Followed the instructions here:- http://spamtastic.demon.co.uk/v4l/ 2. Compiled lirc using the "Other->/dev/input" driver option 3. Run lircd as "lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event2 -p 660 /etc/lircd.conf 4. Ensure myth is compiled with native lircd support (check settings.pro) 5. Enjoy. With this setup I don't need a /dev/lirc device, just a /dev/lircd pipe which lirc ."make install" created but doesn't get recreated on reboot using udev. So at the moment I've got a mknod in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to create the pipe, change the permissions so all can rw and then start lircd (params as above). There are ' better' ways of doing this and I'll be tweaking that next. Hope this helps! Andy.

[mythtv-users] Intermittent video issues
Hi, Quite frequently when watching either live TV or recordings the video picture becomes corrupt. I get either overlaid colour planes or a purple tinge to the picture. Stopping viewing and then restarting viewing can result in the problem going away or sometimes it doesn't. The same thing happens in mplayer also. I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T PCI card with Fedora Core3, 2.6.10 and Myth 0.16 (no patches). Both frontend and backend are running on the same box, P4 2.4Ghz 1Gb RAM, 160GB Maxtor IDE HDD so I've got plenty of horsepower. I'm currently using Myth on my TFT monitor and the VGA output is handled by on-board motherboard stuff. Mobo is an Abit BG7E which has Intel 845GE graphics. The corruption isn't recorded and so I guess the data stream from the DVB-T card is OK but is being screwed up by the frontend. The corruption doesn't completely mess up the picture in that you can see what's going on but the colour mix is incorrect or the colour planes overlaid. Corruption doesn't always happen, perhaps 10-20% of the time ? CPU is only 10-20% utilised. Any ideas ?

[mythtv-users] Re: Skipping adverts in UK using DVB-T - supported ?
Further to my comments below I actually tried recording a selection of programmes last night from a couple of channels, the commercial detection did pick stuff up on one of the programmes so it is doing something ;-) When I played back the recording the system seemed to get it right over 50% of the time! So all is not lost but I guess the FF button is currently the way to go. Andy.

[mythtv-users] Skipping adverts in UK using DVB-T - supported ?
Hi, Am I correct in believing that commercial detection/skipping doesn't work in the UK when using DVB-T ? When I press the 'skip' button during an ad while watching a recording then I get a message to the effect that no marker is found (can't remember exact wording). The channel is setup as one which does have commercials. Or has anyone in UK got ad detection working using DVB-T ?

[mythtv-users] Help: getting lirc working under FC3 with a Hauppauge Nova-t DVB card
Hi, I've just spent the weekend getting MythTv up and running on a new Linux build, it's been an 'interesting' task with a few challenges cropping up but I've managed to get Myth running and I can watch/record and have a TV guide. I'm having no luck however getting the remote control supplied with the nova-t working under lirc. Has anyone out there got the nova-t remote working with lirc under FC3 ? My setup: Hardware: P4 2.4Ghz 1Gb RAM 160Gb Maxtor Diamondmax 10 HDD Hauppauge Nova-T DVB card Software: Fedora Core 3 2.6.10 kernel (with linuxtv DVB patches) lirc-0.7.0.0 (source/compile installation) Environment: Surrey, UK - Crystal Palace transmitter When running the lirc ./setup.sh configuration I've tried both the Hauppauge hardware options as well as the "Other->Linux events" (or whatever it's called) options all with no success. irw does nothing, irrecord also does nothing. Help!!! Andy. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
