Re: [mythtv-users] Recording a tape to DVD

(I can then edit the file in LVE, avidemux, or something similar.) Involving myth seems like it would be more complicated than it needs to be, as I will require manual control over the recordings and can't take advantage of all the other things that Myth can do automatically. However, I thought I'd first check here to see if anyone had done something similar or had any clever ideas on improving my approach. Any suggestions are welcome. I am in exactly the same situation. I have a suitcase full of family videos, and I plan to convert them to DVD. I have yet to come up with an efficient and elegant method. Please do keep us informed if you come up with a good solution.

[mythtv-users] issue about yuan mpg600(160) coexisting with pvr-250
Hi, One PVR-250 has been installed and working fine in my box with 3 other bttv cards. Recently, I am considering to add one more hardware endcoding card on it. However, Hauppauge cards are not available here. The previous one is a used one aquired with much luck. I have alternative choices, Yuan mpg600 or mpg160. Thanks to you nice folks' input; I know patches are available to handle audio issue. The question is: Does patched driver also work for pvr-250?

Re: [mythtv-users] DirectFB error crashes mythfrontend
I get a similar but not exactly the same error if I go into the Setup\TV Settings\Playback menu and turn off the PVR350 hardware decoding for watching recordings. So assuming you have a PVR350 if you turn on the hardware decoding in Setup, you may not have any more problems. There seem to be very few of us using DirectFB so this is probably not mentioned in the Installing and using MythTV documentation.

[mythtv-users] Which ivtv driver and firmware should I use for Pvr 350?
Hi, I'm having difficulty getting menus to display on the tvout of the pvr350. If I turn off the tvout feature and just use the computers monitor, it works fine. I started with the release versions of ivtv and the suggested firmware: - Driver - ivtv-0.1.9.tar.gz - Firmware - pvr_1.18.21.22168_inf.zip It worked fine on the computer monitor, but didn't get anything out of tvout. I found a guide that said I had to use one of the ckennedy drivers for the pvr 350. So, I ended up using: Driver - ivtv-0.3.1s.tgz Firmware - pvr48wdm_1.8.22037.exe The tvout plays movies just fine, but none of the menus do anything. If I turn off tvout, they still work fine on the computers monitor. Which driver and firmware do the developers recommend for the Pvr 350? Thanks for the help, Don PS - Should this question be posted to users list or to the devel list?

[mythtv-users] ivtv-fb freezes my Mythtv system after loading - please help
(Sorry if this message pops up twice in the list but I don't see my
message posted yesterday.)
I'm having lots of troubles getting my X on TV out of the Hauppage 350
to work. After loading the ivtv-fb the system freezes.
That is:
- When I boot the system without X and load the ivtv-fb module the
console freezes. I get some text output of the ivtv driver on the screen.
- When I boot the system with X, I can load the ivtv-fb driver but it
doesn't work. (no X on the tv-out) and when I try to logout X, shutdown,
reboot etc. the system freezes after it has closed X.
ivtv does work (I think) because I can capture video on the Hauppauge
350. I'm also able to play it on the tv screen with:
dd if=test.mpg of=/dev/video16 bs=64k
but the ivtv-fb drives me crazy
I'm using the ivtv drivers installed with apt-get (instructions on
Jarod's page)
Can some-one please help? What can I try? ivtv 0.2?

[mythtv-users] Re: PVR-350 Issues - Poor Colors
I seem to recall something about the black and white thing. If you record in ntsc and the ivtv driver is forced to pal (or vise versa) it would do this. But I have to admit, I'm not sure how you would get that combination. On the pvr350, double check the tuner type it's reporting (dmesg). The latest Hauppauge boards are reporting tuner types that are not supported in the standard 2.4.xx or 2.6.xx releases and require a kernel module patch (tuner.h and tuner.c).

I'll probably keep my current system as the backend and set up the new system as the frontend. I'm not interested in all the peripherals right now, just what motherboard/chipset I should go with. I want to be able to run digital audio to my amp so the amp can decode Dolby Digital 5.1, so that's the only requirement really.

After I did a Gentoo update (emerge world) mythtv (live tv) was reporting that /dev/adsp was device not found. /dev/adsp was new to me - I thought I had configured mythtv to use /dev/dsp for all my capture cards (hd-2000 and pvr-250). I messed around for some time this weekend trying to work it out - and in a sign of desperation I removed the /dev/adsp link and re-created it to point to the /dev/dsp device.

RE: [mythtv-users] Cutting and merging videos
I've been thinking about trying to change the scheduler so there is an option to record consecutive shows as one recording. I often can't delete one show because the start or end of another show is in the recording, so there might as well be one file which doesn't have annoying little gaps in the shows. (The gaps being however long it takes to end one recording and start another, usually enough to miss a sentence or two of dialog). Each show would still appear individually in the list and when you play one it starts playing from an offset in the file based on its start time. This would also make things easier for Nate's situation as only the show would need to be cut out of the recording, and not have to join two recordings together. Any comments on the idea? (or has this already be discussed before?) - Damon -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:mythtv-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of nate s Sent: Sunday, 5 December 2004 6:54 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: [mythtv-users] Cutting and merging videos Due to my system time drifting, I've managed to record three back to back shows off sync with the start and end time by about two minutes. However, since they were back to back, the piece of the show that got cut off of the end of one is at the beginning of the next oet (for all but the last.) I'm wondering if there is some way to split the beginning of one video file, and tack it on to the end of the previous one. Has anyone doen this? Ideally, I'd like the videos to still be in the recordings, but if exporting them was necessary, that'd be ok too. My thoughts on how to go about this are to split the video with someting like avidemux2, and then somehow joining them back together again. Would it work to just do a cat video.part.1 video.part.2 whole.video ? I'm not really an expert on the file formats (mpeg2 from a pvr250, btw) so I'm not sure if they have some sort of header or something that would pervent this, though the fact that you can get mpeg2 by doing cat /dev/video makes me think it would work.

[mythtv-users] Getting ivtv-0.2.0 to work?
Hi again, I have a pc with two tuner cards (medion 5044 and pcr250). A week ago I downloeaded ivtv-0.3.1 and installed it manually on my gentoo box. I got a picture with not problem but now I have unrolled that version and emerged 0.2.0-rc3. This gives me no picture (just a blank screen) when I try to Watch TV. Next I tried unmerging ivtv and installing it manually -- no luck either. The funny thing is that if I do cat /dev/v4l/video0 test.mpg and then use mplayer to watch it I get a nice tv-picture (all snow, but looks promising).

[mythtv-users] New MythTV Hardware Review
All: So, I've decided to take the plunge and replace my ReplayTV 3000 unit (dialup) with a new MythTV setup. Key on my decision criteria were the ability to stream video to any Mac or UNIX machine in the house and the increased flexibility of the networked Myth setup. I spent most of the weekend reviewing threads that already exist, but I wanted to drop out a quick note with what I'm considering and hopefully get some feedback. A few considerations that I have to take into account: a) We have a very high quality analog cable drop at our primary TV, and lower quality drops where the backend will be b) Noise is a high consideration at the TV, but not a consideration where the backend is c) I want high-quality TV output on the primary TV, I am not planning on gaming at it d) Our largest TV is currently a 27, and we don't plan to go HD in the next year at least Based upon these, here is my current plan: FRONTEND/BACKEND (for TV): Cooler Master ATC-620 case Chaintech 7NIF2 motherboard Seasonic 300W power supply AMD Sempron 2200 or 2400 Zalman CNPS5100 cooler 256MB RAM Hauppauge PVR-350 MASTER BACKEND: Existing case Existing Athlon 1000 system with 256 MB RAM Existing 60 GB HD (base, swap) New 200 GB HD (video) DVD-RW (for archives) Hauppauge PVR-250 Questions that I have on my setup: a) Should I be considering an EPIA motherboard for the frontend instead? Or any other smaller systems? I like the look and the flexibility of the Cooler Master, but am willing to consider other machines. b) I am currently planning to netboot the frontend and run ethernet between the systems (to start, may try 802.11g at some point). Is this feasible with a PVR-350 front/backend on the main machine c) Is my main frontend system high-powered enough? d) Any other items I should consider I appreciate any feedback and will definitely share any issues I encounter at the end of this install. I've already installed Knoppmyth on the backend with the PVR-350 (already in hand) to test things out, and like what I've seen. Thanks.

[mythtv-users] Bare minimum for the back end
Hi Mythtv-users, I am taking full advantage of the client/server design of mythtv, but would like to take it one step further. I'm installing a new system (gentoo) to run as a backend only. I would like to install the least amount of software to get the backend working. On the current back-end, I checked-out the current source and compiled it. My plan is to copy the necessary programs and libraries over to the new backend and see what breaks. (Don't worry about having two master backends for the time being.) Now, I am just guessing about the required programs, but it seems that I will need: (in the source directory) setup/ setup programs/ mythbackend mythcommflag mythfiledatabse mythjobqueue mythprogfind mythtranscode libs/ a bunch filters/ all? I am unsure about programs/ mythtv mythepg themes I doubt it, but you never know It appears I do not need mythuitest (README) mythtvosd (don't need the osd) mythtvlcd (README) convert (no files) menutest (no files) mythdialog (no files) mythfrontent (not using it) My plan is to copy the necessary libraries from the current back-end (same environment). Tell me, is this a sane plan?

[mythtv-users] Viaexp + Alsa + Dolby + Spdif (RESOLVED)
To those interested parties... I've long been trying to get the Dolby DTS sound out of Viaexp using the Alsa driver, any searches on the net turn up my postings on various forums. Well I've finally got it going, using the following process: I downloaded Vexp 3.02 from the http://sourceforge.net/projects/viaexp/ Follow in instructions in readme.txt with the following modification: After running autogen.sh in the xine-lib dir, dive into src/audio_out and edit the Makefile. The alsa stuff is commented out, run through and remove the commenting out (simply search for alsa, and work your way through the doc). Then run make and then make install. This makes Viaexp build the alsa audio plugin. The settings I had tried in config just worked: audio.a52_pass_through:1 audio.alsa_a52_device:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 audio.driver:alsa Are they key ones, but I can send the config to anyone whose interested. So there we go, I'm probably the only person on the planet still running the via binary video drivers, but they do seem very solid with the setup I've got. It's a shame support for them is being dropped in Myth but I guess that's progress for you ;-) Cheers Kev ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: rsync, or is there a better option?
Since my myth box has crashed a few times, including power loss and hard lockups, I want to backup my recordings, videos, etc so I don't lose anything the next time. So I picked up a couple large hard drives and have another linux box (FC3) ready to be a network storage device. I already backup important files, such as mysql dump, so I'm just talking the large video files here. What's the best way to get all my recordings, videos, mucis, etc sent over to this box every so often, maybe once a day. I'm thinking copy anything new or changed, and remove anything deleted from the source. Changes would only be made on the storage system, either adding or removing files. Would rsync be the best way to accomplish this or is there a better option? I use rsync for backups on another linux box I have. It's a very easy way to have full backups which use up minimal disk space and is quick to execute. ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Yup. For some reason that still escapes me, some boxes (like mine)
auto-load the snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss ALSA modules for OSS
emulation (which is what myth uses by default), while others do not. Just
slap 'modprobe snd-pcm-oss' and 'modprobe snd-mixer-oss' in
