Re: [mythtv-users] Need IR receiver recommendation

2004-12-01 Thread Will
Need IR receiver recommendation.  Needs to be compatible with MythTV.  I 
would also like to use it with xine and tvtime.  I don't want to build 
one.  I want to buy one.  Recommendations?

I got mine from 
http://lnx.manoweb.com/lirc/?partType=sectionpartName=buy

It was only 12EUR (£9) including shipping from Italy to me in the UK -- 
it's $15 inclusive to the USA. You need a free serial port (no usb), but 
it's a nice cheap solution and it works with lirc. :)

I bought one of these, too, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. 
It's very small, so does it require a serial cable to put it in a position 
where you can point your remote at it?  Or does it not require 
line-of-sight?
With the receiver plugged into the back of my beige box, and no way for the 
signals to get to it except bouncing over the top of the case, I get about 
13 feet. This also means the receiving sensor is pointing sideways too.

Line-of-sight, I just turned my PC around and measured right into the far 
corner of the room and it still works fine at 20 feet.

This is using the standard remote which came with my Avermedia DVB-T 771 
card.

I will be using a video sender with remote control functionality when I have 
checked my system passes the GAF test, so this doesn't really affect me. But 
it certainly seems to have good capabilities. Reminds me of the receiver 
used in the xbox dvd kit.

Re: [mythtv-users] New Australian XMLTV grabber

2004-12-01 Thread Paul Andreassen
Hi Mark,

I can't see how the offset is supposed to straddle daylight saving
change.  Perldoc reports 'tz_local_offset() determins the offset from
GMT time in seconds.  It only does the calculation once.'  Date::Manip
is also brain dead.

Modified the rating fix and seems to work.

Left out a few other changes that seem silly.  Like changing cache_dir
and location from command line, and renaming channels.

Thanks for the changes,
Paul

 paul,
 
 based on your 17/11 one
 simple rating fix, auto timezone offset calc including straddle of
 daylightsavings change.
 also wanted to do auto region getting as this is in a list in the
first
 page but havent done it as Im too lazy.
 also want to put in an override for xmltvid so that I can fetch for
 foxtel.Melbourne. and freehd.Melbourne.yyy as the names are
slightly
 different.
 
 also a foxtel with conf one that grabs from www.foxtel.tv
 which works ok. can get listing a whole month ahead.
 conf is extension of d1 conf file to allow mapping of unknown d1
channels
 also since main and adult are same in analog, a special case for
 multichannels.  takes about 20 min for a month of progs.
 post if you like. too many posts on users for me so only on dev. thus
I
 send it to you.
 may be able to parallelize gets too.
 
 I run them both after d1 fetch in cron so that if these fail at least
I
 have something.
 
 cheers
 mark

Hi All,

I have a few questions regarding the captioned:

1) Does LIRC now have support for the USB-UIRT ? 
2) Specifically, do the LIRC rpms provided by ATrpms have this support ?
3) If not does anyone know where to get a recent patch that enables full 
USB-UIRT functionality with LIRC whether using ATrpms or actual LIRC source ?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Cause it base on kradio, this module have all kradio ability (plugins),

 - QuickBar (bad idea for mythtv)
 - RadioDocking (bad idea for mythtv)
 - ErrorLog (I think mythtv user need message dialog only, for a moment only
   send error/info message to stdout for debug)
 
 So, my mythtv module can:
 - Used your v4l radio card (or tv card with radio support) to tune am/fm
 radio
   station.
 - Recording to .wav .aiff .au .raw .mp3, need lame and sndfile library.
 - Monitor radio sound input.
 - Scan radio station frequency.
 - Export station list (mysql database) to kradio station xml-format.
 - Import kradio station xml-format to station list.
 - Edit station list with easy way (code stolen from mythtv channel editor)
 - Make mythtv user too easy to tune their favourite radio station in town

As you have probably guessed, you are in uncharted territory here.  Most

  I'll stop short of saying this is a bad idea, but I'd say you're

If you choose to proceed and try to debug the driver, I'd suggest

 It's rather difficult to determine from google :)

I am not familiar with the 1020a (I have a 1020) but if the card is
supported by Linux, it'll be supported by MythTV.

Get the card working first outside of MythTV and once it's working, then
try MythTV.

I am running Gentoo with the built-in DVB drivers in the 2.6.9-gentoo-r6

 Well, firstly, the fundamental difference between RF and IR is that IR
 requires line of sight, RF does not.

RF typically has much better range also.

 Second, the recievers on the PVR 
 cards only support one remote protocol, so it's hard to find a
 different remote that will work with them.

The PVR-x50 cards use the less-common RC-5 IR protocol, so they may be 
slightly more difficult to find a remote for, but they'll work with just 
about any Philips, Magnavox or Marantz remote, or a universal programmed as a 
Philips (this is what I do).

The bigger issue is coming up with a functional lircd.conf for your remote if 
one doesn't already exist, but there are quite a few sample files provided 
with lirc that should get you close.

Good info on IR protocols (and a good site on remotes in general):

 Cool, but them things is kinda spendy. I thought the XP MCE USB receiver was

 may be for illumination, but here's the cheaper one:

 Back to the USB-UIRT... $55 (+ $8 sh) might be worth it if you need the IR
 transmit portion also though, since it isn't supported on the MCE one. I was
 thinking I might have to get a USB-UIRT, but I don't have any need for
 transmit, so I think I'm going to get another XP MCE receiver, despite having
 no use for the remote. That, or maybe the Niveus package someone else
 mentioned, which comes in at $40:

trying to hit record at the exact moment I've configured a manual

Though as I write this, considering I have a pvr-350, I suppose I could
write directly from the /dev/video to an mpeg file.  But it there's a
better way to do it I'm curious.

9:55 myth will stop recording at 10 because the programming is got
stored ends there. It would be cool to have a way to manual schedule
from live tv, the way you would do with a VCR (just record this for
the next two hours)
The problem with using cat /dev/video0  tmp/test_capture.mpg is
that I would like to use edit mode to remove commercial breaks. I have
a ton of tennis matches on VHS tapes and mythcommflag works great
getting the breaks right when I capture these.
   

I agreed that current Myth functionality is not well suited to copying
videos from a VCR.
I have several dozen old home movies to archive to DVD, and I'm still
trying to come up with a good way of doing this.
Ideally, I'd like to see a VHS dub mode in Myth. In this mode, you
could configure Myth to record for X minutes (ex 120 mins), then hit a
key or button to begin recording now.
This is different from recording Live TV because you can set an end
time. It is different from the manual recording mode because you can
press the  begin recording now key as you press play on the VCR; in
manual mode you have to set the time for the start of the recording,
and then try to press play at the exact time you have scheduled - this
is not a trivial difference.
I'd like to try implementing this myself, and I may try later this
month when I'm on vacation. But my C++ skills are a bit rusty... so
we'll see.
Other advanced functions that I think would be very useful in a VCR
dub mode would be blank screen detection. A lot of my home videos
don't use the whole tape. Consequently, if I dub the whole tape onto
the computer, I often end up with 10-20 minutes of blank, blue screen
at the end of the tape. It would be great if this could be marked
automatically, in a similar manner to how commercials are detected.
Anyway, enough daydreaming for now...

This doesn't seem all that difficult to me.  You just set the recording 
for a few minutes more than the tape length, watch your status of 
recording on either MythWeb or in the status screen in Myth.  When it 
says recording, press play.  When it is done, press stop.  Then, use the 
edit mode to create a cut-list.  You can then transcode or do whatever 
with it.  Of course, I don't have any tapes to put on the computer.  
Additionally, seems like the C++ shouldn't be that hard to add a hot key 
for it, and have it prompt you at the end for a name, etc.

I love Myth.

Re: [mythtv-users] CVS: edit/cutlist problems

2004-12-01 Thread nate s
I can confirm that I've noticed the same problem.  In my case, when I
try to jump back one frame, it instead goes foward 2 frames.  I can
work around by jumping back 1/2 sec, then going foward.  Also, jumping
back to the last cutpoint doesn't work either, though, again, foward
works fine (and it can be worked around by jumping by like 10 minutes,
then giong foward, etc.)

PVR 250 recordings, gentoo system w/ kernel-2.6.9-nitro4 and
ivtv-0.1.10-ck100z, and cvs as of nov 20ish (is there a way to tell?)

 - forward and backward 10min/5min/1min/20sec/5sec/1sec/0.5sec work. forward
 1frame works fine (haven't tried keyframes or cutpoints) but backwards 1frame
 goes forwards
 - the cutlist is not used to display the recording. i had looked around to see

Re: [mythtv-users] RGB Output?

2004-12-01 Thread nate s
You can get at the RGB signal of most any video card through the VGA
connector.  In fact, I believe you can even get pre-made VGA to
SCART-RGB adapters.

As far as for providing low line rate and interlaced output, I believe
that most any card can do that if you can find the right modeline.

 In other words what cards can (a) do a low line rate and (b) produce
 interlaced output. If they can do composite sync as well then that's
 a bonus as it would save having to build a sync combiner.
 
 I'm particularly interested in the ASUS Pundit-R and the ATI 9100 chipset
 that it uses. I've seen reports of the SiS chipset in the older Pundit's
 being able to do it but nothing for the Pundit-R.
 
 Interestingly the manual for the Pundit-R lists SCART_RGB as a choice
 for the TV output mode in the BIOS but it isn't clear what that does or
 how you would get at the RGB signal if there is one.

Re: [mythtv-users] HD-2000 with new drivers

 I posted a message on the pcHDTV forums about this, but they don't

 Ever since the new external drivers (supposedly with support for both
 2000 and 3000) have come out, I haven't been able to use them because
 they fail to tune my HD-2000. I note that when I load the old bttv
 driver, dmesg reports:

 bttv0: using tuner=42
 bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found

 tuner: type set to 42 (Philips 1236D ATSC/NTSC daul in) by bt878 #0 [sw]

 whereas when I load the new bttv driver, I don't get the tuner: type
 set to 42 line:

 bttv0: using tuner=42

 bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
 tuner: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones

 The other tuners (for the ivtv cards) are detected properly.

 Any clues as to why this would be?

 Cheers,

Jack at pcHDTV knows about the problem, but has not had time to fix it yet.
I don't know of anyone that has their HD-2000 working with the new driver.

that apt-get supports regex in the package name.

Interesting, and I will probably get by with this, but
it seems to me from my research, so far, that
debian doesn't have a system restore option or undo function
for package/system changes.

Has no one ever created a package to track what
was changed so it can be rolled back to a previous state?

This may be off-topic I suppose?

[mythtv-users] Playing Tivo .ty files within Myth?

2004-12-01 Thread Zot O'Connor
I was wondering if there is a way to play tivo (I have a directTivo
series 2), inside mythtv.

My goal is to utilize myth's commercial skipping featuring.  I can
currently play the files in mplayer.

There was a thread on a BB about adding this to tivo-player (or some
such name), but I have not seen a post since March on it.

Thanks in Advance.

[mythtv-users] Help with nforce2 sound?

2004-12-01 Thread Joseph A. Caputo
Okay, I'm definitely scratching my head on this one...

I recently got a new Chaintech 7NIF2 mobo w/nForce2 (MCP) sound. 
Everything's good, except no matter what I do I can't control the
volume!  I've tried the i810 OSS driver (what FC1 detected), and I've
also tried the nvsound.o module from Nvidia.  Both give me a mixer
device, but nothing I do seems to affect the line-out.  Luckily for me
the volume is 'stuck' at an acceptable volume :-)

Anybody have a clue?  If I get some time I'll try ALSA, but if I'm
getting sound then the mixer should work, neh?
