mythtv daemon shutdown
I am trying to get mythtv to do its automatic shutdown/wakeup for recording of favorite television program. In the debian multimedia package, it's backend daemon is set to run with user (called mythtv) privileges. Debian shutdown refuses to shutdown if the user is not the superuser. Is there anyway to allow the mythtv backend to bring the system down without giving it root privilege? It can be set up to run anything to shutdown. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mythtv fails
Hi, Has anyone had success installing mythtv on debian (sid) amd64 recently? I have been trying recently without success. I added these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list ### --- mythtv deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv deb-src http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv But apt-get update complains: Failed to fetch http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian/dists/unstable/mythtv/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Reading package lists... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu unstable/mythtv Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dijkstra.csh.rit.edu_%7emdz_debian_dists_unstable_mythtv_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu unstable/mythtv Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dijkstra.csh.rit.edu_%7emdz_debian_dists_unstable_mythtv_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) So I tried JUST the source file line, but the install failed saying that there were unmet dependencies with mythtv-backend, mythtv-frontend which are not installable. I also tried to download the tarball and install manually, but it fails, complaining that: In file included from avcodec.h:14, from utils.c:27: common.h:61: error: array type has incomplete element type common.h:65: error: array type has incomplete element type make[2]: *** [utils.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mythtv/libs/libavcodec' make[1]: *** [sub-libavcodec] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mythtv/libs' make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2 Any ideas why the normal apt-get install (binary, not source) is failing? or ideas what is going wrong here?

MythTV fails with debian-pure64
I have not been able to get mythfrontend (running on the same machine as the backend) to work. The application screen goes blank as soon as I attempt to watch live TV.

Linux/MythTV drivers for 2nd gen PVR cards
I read your post about MythTV and PVR Drivers. Most of the popular new PVR cards sold for Windows XP MC are based on Connexant's "Blackbird" design, which hasn't had drivers for Linux or Myth. We have been working on these drivers and released an alpha version at http://plutohome.com. Pluto even has a self-booting kick-start CD that will automatically install & configure everything for you, including a ready-to-go Myth system. It's the fastest and easiest way to get a MythTV PVR up and running, and also installs Xine, Asterisk and our own software to give you the most advanced media & entertainment, home automation, security, telecom & computing system, controllable with your Symbian Bluetooth mobile phone, as well as PDA's and Webpads. We're working hard to harden the drivers as quickly as possible and would like as much feedback as possible. These 2nd generation "Blackbird" cards are lower in price and offer better picture quality than the current models supported in IVTV, so be sure to check them out. visit: plutohome.com, click 'support', 'support site', and choose "CX88 Blackbird Drivers" from the projects menu This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It compiles nicely with some minor warnings with gcc-3.4. I have been able to compile everything but as everyone knows a clean compile does not mean that it will run perfectly. Anyway the problem is with mythtv because the ivtv driver works fine with xine, and mplayer. I'm not sure if mythtv is 64 bit ready or not. I was wondering if there were any 64 bit patches running around for mythtv, or something else that I'm missing? This is the only show stopper to make the jump to 64 bit. I guess I could stop watching TV, and use my computer for something productive ;-)). Note the 0.1.9 was the last stable release, but the bleeding edge releases have amd64 support directly.

MythTV
MythTV compiles on amd64 using the following procedure: * get liblame0 and liblame0-dev from http://debian.freenux.org/debian-marillat-amd64/ * add this to /etc/apt/sources.list and run update: deb-src http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv * wajig source mythtv * cd mythtv-0.16 * vi debian/control -- add this to dependencies, after liblame-dev: | liblame0-dev * apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev libmysqlclient-dev liblircclient-dev libartsc0-dev (this will also install mysql-common) * fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage I'm doing this just to test the build, to help me decide whether to advice somone else to buy and amd64 for a capture project, so I've not installed it. I've already tested that a bttv capture card works. The second decision is the pcHDTV capture card, which seems to be getting mixed reviews under amd64. Cheers, Dave
