Re: [mythtv-users] vonage caller id
I don't know how many people here are using Vonage for phone service. I have a perl script I hacked up that monitors the sip traffic to the vonage phone and alerts my mythfrontend via mythnotify to the osd when there is an incoming call. It shows the caller name and number. This can be used if you are running a linux firewall and the vonage phone traffice passes through it. Love my vonage, and for that functionality, I'd consider configuring my myth box with a second nic and route the vonage through it if I have too! Like the rest, I'm not currently using a linux firewall. :( How about doing this with tcpdump from the myth box itself? My myth box actually shares a 10base hub w/ the vonage box, so should be no reason it can't sniff out the sip... -Kenneth ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] PCM sound card output and volume control question
I have a setup in which I run digital cables from my Myth box to my AV receiver, and it is there where I do my D/A conversion and volume control. My question is, in such a situation how is the linux/Myth mixer actually controlling the volume? (Which I guess is the same as asking how is volume regulated on a TOS-link PCM connection?) If I am playing a ripped CD, is the mixer actually molesting the 16-bit samples form the raw CD data before sending them out? What I am getting at is I would like for my digital audio files to be passed to my AV receiver and Amp untouched. I'm quite happy with this equipment and don't need a mis-set mixer monkeying around with the signal in a way that could impact its dynamic range. Is there a way I can tell myth to completely ignore all mixer settings? There is no level settings on the digital output of my CD player, why here? I want to play my audio, not have a drive-by remastering done to it on the way out. I am immediately concerned with MythMusic since I am playing with that first, but I can see wanting to extend this to DVD playback, HDTV playback, etc. Yes, I see the toggle for pass through of AC-3 audio (which I have set but haven't really used since I haven't played with MythDVD yet). if that does what I think it does, I pretty much want that for other digital sources as well.

The exact specs of the modelines it accepts are even given in the manual, but they simply do not work via DVI (they do via VGA). So I asked a Samsung employee (they are consulting customers in big electronic retailers), and he told me what I did not want to hear, that the panel will only display something, if there is HDCP spoken on the DVI port.

Re: PVR-250 image quality -- Re: [mythtv-users] TV Wonder Pro
I'm curious about this higher quality recordings phrase. I've seen it a few times, yet I'm not one to automatically believe that a card does better just because it does mpeg 2 compression. (I'm assuming a 150 would have the same quality if one got that working.) It's not the MPEG2 compression that inherently gives it higher quality recordings. I know some people who have CPU to burn like capturing with a software card so they can do direct to MPEG4 with denoising, etc. I looked into this awhile back, and came up with some interesting conclusions. The BT878/9 uses a simple notch filter like older NTSC TV's to separate the Y/C from composite signals. That limits the luma resolution to less than 3 MHz (as well as above 4.5 MHz, but broadcast won't have any luma up there). That limits luma lines of resolution to about 240... or max 4:3 capture at about 320x480. Thus, anything over 352x480 for a BT878/9 card is silly, since they chip itself can't capture more than that. I used a resolution test pattern to confirm this with my bt878-based card. The hauppauge [23]50 cards use a Philips SAA7115 capture chip. That has a 2D comb filter, which in perfect circumstances captures *all* luma information up to the maximum 6 MHz channel width. Broadcast limits luma to 4.2 MHz (IIRC), but even still, that's 4.2*80=336 analog lines of resolution. That means a maximum 4:3 capture of 448x480 so 480x480 is about all that broadcast can do. My testing of my 250 with the same resolution test pattern confirmed that anything over about 540x480 is silly for a pvr-250. The hauppauge [15]50 uses the cx88 chip with 10-bit A/D's for capture. It has a bit more advanced comb filter than the Philips chip, but that will mainly help some color artifacts. A software-based capture card based on one of these has the potential to have higher resolution. Has anyone ever done a direct comparison between a 250 and other ordinary bt87x capture cards? One would think it was the ultimate quality of the A/D circuitry that was the key... As you can probably tell, I've wasted^H^H^H^H^H^H spent a fair bit of time looking at this. I was really only looking at the softness of the image, which is a function of the luma resolution. Lots of other things go into the mess as well (noise susceptibility, color decoder accuracy, hue/sat, A/D density, scaler filtering, etc) that affect quality. I'd be willing to argue that a software-based capture card with a newer video decoder chip (such as the cx88) could have equal/better quality than the hauppauge cards, but it'll burn up a helluvallotta CPU to do so. -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Hey Andy, How exactly do you configure which format to transcode to? Is it merely a case of Myth knowing which format it is going to encode from (in my DVB-T case, it is MPEG2) and therefore, you don't actually assign a recording profile option anywhere, you just configure the MPEG2 entry in Setup TV Playback Recording Profiles?

Also, make sure you are using the programnumber reported by dtvscan for the minor channel (and not minorchannelnumber).

You need up-to-date checkouts from both mythtv and mythmusic. I
encountered the same error today because my mythtv installation was a
bit too old.
And of course compile and install mythtv before mythmusic. Also make sure to
remove all mythtv 0.16 libraries, the version has been increased to 0.17
just a few days ago.

My box uses FC3 with atrpms kernels and dvb-c updates ... using custom kernel

problems is that something with udev is not right ... I have read some things
about udev for my dvb-c setup ... hotplug and creating devices ...
see my modprobe.conf ... but you have to midify it for your sound hardware ...
but I could not get any device /dev/dsp working ... maybe I have to read some
more stuff from kernel documentation :-( *hate.it*
Hope to help you a bit

[mythtv-users] HOWTO: .nuv-.avi else *without* the database?
Here's a situation that only I could get myself info. I formerly exported PVR-250 captures manually (copy MPEG2 .nuv elsewhere, then delete from database). Recently, I've been using the NUVSQL portion of nuvexport to do the same, but a little cleaner. For less important shows, I wanted to use XViD codec and cut commercials via the mythfrontend. That part works fine... much reduced filesize from the MPEG2-XViD transcode from within the MythTV GUI. Now, I was going to burn the captures onto a disc to play them on a computer, but I discovered that MPlayer can't play them. I've always considered MPlayer capable of playing *anything*. Of course Winders can't play them either. Apparently, using mythtranscode or nuvexport-AVI directly is the correct way to do this. Without inserting all this crap back in the database so these two programs function, can I manually re-wrap the .nuv into an .avi? I don't want to transcode, just remux into a normal video container (with the XViD-codec). Thanks...

[mythtv-users] command line to trigger jumppoints
I am trying to do something that should be possible, but I am running into trouble. Basically, I want to evoke a jumppoint in mythfrontend from a command line (shell script). Here is the use case: I use mythvideo mostly. I have about 50 movies and growing in there (a lot of HD space). I have a harmony remote that has 6 buttons on an lcd screen. I want to program the buttons for things like unseen (I added a flag to the mythvideo table), comedy, drama, etc. My plan was to have the buttons exec a shell script that ran a query like: Update videometadata set browse = 1 where seen = 0 Then trigger the video browse jumppoint. I am thinking a simple command line utility that would send a keypress event to the mythfrontend window would do the trick. xkeypress F3 Here is what Ive tried: I found some perl libraries that do stuff like this: X11::Protocol X11::SendEvent But I cant seem to figure out how to write a script that does this. The main problem seems to be finding the window. I have no knowledge of perl unfortunately, so Im not even sure if one can use these types of libraries in shell scripts, anyway. Any help would be appreciated. thx John --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: [mythtv-users] Have Lirc IR Blaster, now All I need is help making a lirc.conf...
you can't use irrecord with your ir blaster - it is not a receiver. However, it looks like people on this list have reported the explorer 2000 remote file which is on the lirc page works fine with the 3200. Have you tried that file? Have you verified you have light coming out of your IR Blaster? An easy way to do this is with a digital camera or webcam. Hold the short end of the ir emitting unit opposite the end that the cable is entering close to the camera lens and you should see the light on the camera screen when you execute the change channel script.

Yes, as noted, the HT P4s reprot very good numbers, though there's been some recent debate off list about whether they are true or not, I'm still researching it. Hyperthreading, for those who don't know, means the P4 pretends to be a dual-processor system by duplicating the registers and various elements of the ALU, but not the entire CPU by any stretch. This means that for certain algorithms, ones that are ALU bound rather than memory bound, and which are multi-threaded, you can see a real improvement. There is speculation that mpeg encode and decode are in this category. But it makes it hard to figure out how idle the processor is because sometimes one of the units may be idle but in fact it could not really do anything. So we need to do some tests as follows: a) Try mpeg decode on a P4 with the non-SMP kernel. b) Get a benchmark program which can be run niced, to try to figure out how much spare capacity each different test system has while playing 1080i. Note that this just tells us how much spare capacity there is to run the benchmark program. What we care about is the following though: a) Is there enough spare capacity so that when minor system tasks take place, they don't make video skip. b) Is there enough capacity to do that if you also throw in a niced thread to do commercial elimination or transcode? c) Do we have enough capacity to handle peak decoding load, since that varies with scene complexity. And also d) What's the cheapest processor we can get away with and still play skip-free 1080i and 720p? xvmc of course can also change this equation a lot. On my P4, for example, playing 1080i in mplayer with xvmc, I have seen idle times over 80% which sounds good and implies one could get away with something much less in this environment. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The 0.16 backend and CVS frontend will refuse to talk to each other, but since you're not using the TV functionality, that should not matter. In fact, you don't need a backend running at all if you're only using the video and music functions. You need the database up and running, but the backend is superfluous. The CVS frontend will upgrade the database schema, which could cause the 0.16 backend to fail or corrupt your data if you try to actually use it, so it's probably best to shut down the backend entirely. If you don't use the TV functions, you won't miss it. - Jeremiah ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] NUVExport slow export solution
Hello, I am running a FIC Condor using a Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz, 1GB of Corsair DDR-400 CL2 memory, and a Maxtor 300 GB SATA drive. I am using the PVR-250 card for capture so nuvexport just uses transcode to convert from mpeg2. In trying to use NUVExport for export to xvid I found that turning noise reduction, scaling, etc off made the export faster but I seem to hit a limit of about 20 Frames per Second (FPS). I decided to try and figure out any problems. I am not recording anything today so I turned off Mythbackend and used a shell logon to get X out of the way. It still peaked at about 20 FPS. If I ran transcode using the same command line as NUVExport I peaked out at around 50 FPS! Something was wrong. When I used top to look at the processes it looked like transcode was breezing along at about 90% or so when run on it's own but would run at 90% for a few seconds then go down to 0% for a few seconds when run under nuvexport. nuvexport gets the output of transcode, parses it, reformats, and prints it on the screen. It appears if the framerate gets over 20 FPS then nuvexport can not process every status line guickly. The stdout buffer fills thus stopping transcode until it empties. Reading the transcode man page I came across the --print_status option in transcode. I modified the transcode.pm file in nuvexport to add a --print_status 4 option in the transcode command line. This tells transcode to only print a status line for every 4 frames processed. This fixed the problem and increased the rate back to a peak of around 50 FPS when using nuvexport! I also noticed nuvexport will still use the -Z option when the output resolution matches the input resolution. Transcode will still do zoom when the -Z option is specified with no change in resolution thus slowing down the frame rate for nothing. Since my computer has a HT cpu I uncommented the option to specify the number of CPUs in the transcode.pm file and gained about 1 FPS. I noticed the first parameter for this option defaults to 10 but the code in transcode.pm set it to 100. I used 10 and even tried 20 with no change of framerate so I left it at 10. I assume 100 would be overkill and may even slow it down like the comment indicated. Running nuvexport in X with mythbackend running only slowed things down a few frames per second. I am happier now with the results. A multiple pass conversion from MPEG2 to XviD now takes around an hour instead of around two hours. 73 Eric ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Recording groups?
I try to understand and use the recording groups but I could not find a way to give them a name. I have a recording schedule to record all 'Tom Jerry' cartoons and I would like to put them into a similar named group but how do I do that? Couple of ways actually. 1) When setting up a scheduled recording, you can go to the Storage Options page and go down to the recording group option and select Create a new recording group. That will take you to the list of recording groups and you can create a new one by selecting the create option. Just type the name in the textbox and cursor down and select OK. 2) You can bring up the INFO menu for a previously recorded program and select Recording Options then select Change Recording Group. That will popup a list of all the recording groups along with a textbox which you can type the name of a group if you wish to create a new one. Select OK and the selected recording will move to the new group. In current CVS, you can move multiple items to a new recording group at once by adding the items to the playlist using either the INFO menu or the / key and then going to the MENU popup menu and selecting Playlist Options and then selecting Change Recording Group. That will move all items in the current playlist to the new recording group you specify. -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Try other cards and see if they fit. Look at everything to see if somehow something is wrong. Are you sure its fully seated? At last resort you could possibly pick up an appropriate washer to go between the hold down tab and case. You could then get a longer screw. That way you could hold the card in an almost normal fashion.. You really shouldn't need to be doing this though.. Did you put the motherboard in with the mounting hardware provided with the case? I have had good luck with antec cases, but well I haven't bought any lately. (The last 2 computers I bought were shuttle cubes.)

Re: [mythtv-users] problem with toolchain build for mediamvp
avoid cross-compiling mvpmc if possible. use the binary releases. your geek status will not be as high, but it is a lot easier. the following is a section from my binary howto: 5 MVPMC 5.1 Obtaining an original dongle.bin dongle.bin is the name of the Linux kernel and ramdisk that Hauppauge supplies for the MediaMVP. The mvpmc project creates a new version of this file, replacing Hauppauge's frontend software with mvpmc. You will need to place a copy of the Hauppauge-supplied dongle.bin file into /tftpboot. The mvpmc build procedure will be looking for the software in that location. Download the Hauppauge Windows server software from http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/mediamvp/mediamvpsetup_22_22146.exe and extract the dongle.bin file: $ cd ~ $ wget http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/mediamvp/mediamvpsetup_22_22146.exe $ unzip -Ln mediamvpsetup_22_22146.exe dongle.bin # cp dongle.bin /tftpboot #exit 5.2 Creating the dongle.bin.mvpmc file Download a binary release of the mvpmc software to your home directory from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mvpmc/mvpmc-0.1.2-bin.tar.gz?download. You will have to select your mirror. $ cd ~ $ wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mvpmc/mvpmc-0.1.2-bin.tar.gz Extract the mvpmc software from the tar.gz file. Then, build a new dongle file called dongle.bin.mvpmc. $ tar xvzf mvpmc-0.1.2-bin.tar.gz $ cd mvpmc-0.1.2-bin $ ./dongle_build.sh -d /tftpboot/dongle.bin -o dongle.bin.mvpmc # cp dongle.bin.mvpmc /tftpboot # exit 5.3 Creating the dongle.bin.mvpmc.config file When the MediaMVP is booting, it will try to download this file from the tftp server. If you would like your MediaMVP to automatically start the mvpmc application, you should make your config file look something like to use NFS for recording playback. In this case, 192.168.0.2 is the IP address of the master backend server. We are creating a mount point called /myth/tv and then mounting the directory using NFS. The -r parameter instructs mvpmc to look for the recordings in /myth/tv. Since mvpmc can play mp3 files, I mounted /myth/music as well. mkdir /myth mkdir /myth/tv mkdir /myth/music /etc/nfsmount.sh 192.168.0.2:/myth/tv /myth/tv /etc/nfsmount.sh 192.168.0.2:/myth/music /myth/music /bin/mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.0.2 -o svideo -a 4:3 -m ntsc -r /myth/tv In the example above, mvpmc would get the MythTV program guide info via the MythTV protocol, but it would play the recordings via NFS. The mvpmc software can also use the Myth protocol for recording playback rather than using NFS. If you would like to use the Myth protocol, the last line in dongle.bin.mvpmc.config would look like this. /bin/mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.0.2 -o svideo -a 4:3 -m ntsc r Copy dongle.bin.mvpmc.config to /tftpboot. # cp dongle.bin.mvpmc.config /tftpboot # exit ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Odd, i have that same case, a PVR-250 and no problems... I would agree with Robert though. I would make sure that the card is fully in the PCI slot, and if so, then get a longer screwn and put either a nut or washer in there. Though, in all thruth you could probably just leave it held in by the PCI riser. Hopefully, after you build it and get it placed, nothing should mess with the cables (though it is always a risk).

Andrew, do NOT leave that card incorrectly seated! Well, I guess you CAN if you really want to. If you decide to leave it incorrectly seated can you do me a huge favor; instead of powering up your machine just put that currently working PVR-250 in a box and ship it to me... ya know, it would save me $150.00 and it would get you the same result as not seating the card correctly. That result being you not having a card to use. ;-) If I were you I would go with Robert's suggestion below. But then again I would like a free PVR-250... hhhmmm. Robert Denier wrote: Try other cards and see if they fit. Look at everything to see if somehow something is wrong. Are you sure its fully seated? At last resort you could possibly pick up an appropriate washer to go between the hold down tab and case. You could then get a longer screw. That way you could hold the card in an almost normal fashion.. You really shouldn't need to be doing this though.. Did you put the motherboard in with the mounting hardware provided with the case? I have had good luck with antec cases, but well I haven't bought any lately. (The last 2 computers I bought were shuttle cubes.)

This is probably a sill question, but when you installed the mobo in the case did you use the little brass risers? --P On Sat, 29 Jan 2005 16:30:02 -0600, Andy Long [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Odd, i have that same case, a PVR-250 and no problems... I would agree with Robert though. I would make sure that the card is fully in the PCI slot, and if so, then get a longer screwn and put either a nut or washer in there. Though, in all thruth you could probably just leave it held in by the PCI riser. Hopefully, after you build it and get it placed, nothing should mess with the cables (though it is always a risk).

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: Hardware question...
ok, i took the mobo out and set it flat on a level table. it looked pretty good. however, the bottom of the case wasn't level, according to my trusty level. :) and yes, the case is sitting on a level surface. if you press on the bottom of the case it bubbles slightly like is a bit warped. that slight bubble is enough to true the surface back to level. i currently have the 'case' shimmed with a couple cd's right in the middle. i'm guessing this isn't the best solution, but there doesn't appear to be any other way to stiffen up the bottom of the case. the 'cd shim' solution will work while i run through Myth config, but as soon as i move the case i'm guessing my cards will become unseated again. this will make it tricky to take it down to my entertainment center where it will reside... anyone else using the Cooler Master Black MicroATX 5-Bay DeskTop Case, Model ATC-620C-BX1 and notice the bottom surface has a little sag? Was a bear, sorry, i think i'll hold onto the pvr ;) i don't intend to power it up unless it's seated properly. Robert, the case and mobo are both micro-ATX or so they state on the NewEgg site. :) Pete, the little risers in the case don't appear to be brass. they look like they're aluminum. they are permanently afixed to the bottom of the case. --- 6 GMail Invites available Email me OFF-list only... ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] OS X
Thanks for the prompt reply, Jeremiah. I wish I had waited until I had asked my questions before plunging off into thin air. Turns out my MacMyth frontend DID indeed corrupt my backend database! How badly, I'm not sure. I'm attempting to fix things now. So far, all that I've detected is that my video database no longer links the movies with their respective .jpgs/descriptions/imdb info. Next Questions: 1) i've reinstalled Panther on my MacMyth frontend (it's a scratch disk until I learn how to do this properly!). that wiped out any potential trouble spots. now, which Myth version do I want? I only want to watch movies, so I only need access to MythVideo. So, I downloaded the CVS w/plugins version. It won't allow me past the initial setup screen because there is no backend. best approach? 2) do I need to go through the installation instructions on MythOnMacOSX, and then use the CVS w/plugins version? forgive me for appearing dense!

[mythtv-users] Configuring remote and xine
I am having difficulties getting xine to accept commands from my remote. While this may be OT, I was hoping someone here could help me as it is related to my usage of MythTV and I know others have it working. FWIW, I am using Jarod's remote file on FC1 and the xine-0.99 RPM from freshrpms.net I tried the steps listed in the following thread (as well as others): lirc and Xine: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/59828?search_string=lirc%20and%20xine;#59828 but I cannot get it to work. If I add the 'xine' entries as listed in that thread, mythfrontend does not even accept commands from the remote. However, if I revert back to the original lircrc, mythfrontend accepts commands, but xine doesn't work (obviously, as the entries are not listed anymore) Here are the steps I took: 1. Added the xine-specific commands to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc 2. Ran the following command: ln -s ~/.mythtv/lircrc ~/.lircrc 3. Reviewed ~/.lircrc to confirm step 2 worked (it did) 4. Rebooted (just to be safe...I'm a Linux newb) 5. Tried remote on mythfrontend UI...no response. 6. Reverted to backup of lircrc (the version that did not have the xine entries) 7. Rebooted (again, just to be safe, although I'm sure a restart of mythfrontend would do the trick). 8. Remote worked fine on mythfrontend (but obviously not xine as the entries were not in the lircrc file anymore). Obviously something in my modified lircrc is causing the problem. However, I have not been able to find anything here or on Google that can help me get past this. I thought it could be a problem with LIRC not seeing xine, but I could not find anything useful. Since MythTV does not accept remote commands with my xine entries, there must be some configuration/startup routine that is 'failing' because of my entries. Any assistance would be appreciated. If there are file that would help troubleshoot, just let me know. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging Problem
I am running MythTV .16 using a PVR-350. Commercial flagging was very accurate for a while, but now is almost random.

[mythtv-users] mythstream won't stream
I have been trying to get mythstream to work, and it seems rather drop-in and it works for most people, but for me it just doesn't want to stream. I am using gentoo with mythtv and mythweb 0.16. I emerged vlc, then tried mythstreamtv, but it seemed vlc hadn't a clue how to do things. So I unmerged it, and then compiled vlc. That worked, and now it seemed as through mythstreamtv should work. Unfortunately it does not. For the most part, using mplayer or wmp on mms or http, I get a connection refused kind of thing. My log is shown below. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you're talking about the MySQL settings screen, you do still need a database server.

Re: [mythtv-users] NUVExport slow export solution
nuvexport gets the output of transcode, parses it, reformats, and prints it on the screen. It appears if the framerate gets over 20 FPS then nuvexport can not process every status line guickly. The stdout buffer fills thus stopping transcode until it empties. Reading the transcode man page I came across the --print_status option in transcode. I modified the transcode.pm file in nuvexport to add a --print_status 4 option in the transcode command line. This tells transcode to only print a status line for every 4 frames processed. This fixed the problem and increased the rate back to a peak of around 50 FPS when using nuvexport! I've added --print_status 16 to the transcode options -- even 4 frames is probably overkill. And am open to suggestions about how to do something similar with ffmpeg (nuvexport will soon be using ffmpeg for just about everything, since transcode doesn't seem to work with a bunch of mpeg type files), or even just speed up the buffering in nuvexport. In my tests with the mp3 encoder, my settings were pulling 80-100fps, which I figured would be fast enough; apparently it doesn't carry over to the other encoder types. I also noticed nuvexport will still use the -Z option when the output resolution matches the input resolution. Transcode will still do zoom when the -Z option is specified with no change in resolution thus slowing down the frame rate for nothing. Yeah. I apparently gave too much credit to transcode. You don't happen to have a patch for this, do you? Since my computer has a HT cpu I uncommented the option to specify the number of CPUs in the transcode.pm file and gained about 1 FPS. I noticed the first parameter for this option defaults to 10 but the code in transcode.pm set it to 100. I used 10 and even tried 20 with no change of framerate so I left it at 10. I assume 100 would be overkill and may even slow it down like the comment indicated. Interesting. On my dual athlon, I found the exact opposite -- about 1.5-3 fps slower (nuvexport has multi-cpu detection included, but deactivated). Since transcode encodes both audio and video in separate threads, the kernel sends those to separate CPU's (which is what HT works as in this case). Creating another encoding thread just causes them all to fight for resources on the lesser-used cpu. Wouldn't be hard to add a commandline option to optionally enable this (since it would definitely help for something like a dual-xeon box) -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Have Lirc IR Blaster, now All I need is help making a lirc.conf...
As recommended, I tried executing the channel change script while holding the other end of the IR blaster to a camera to ensure that the blaster was attempting to flash the signals. This was sucessful and I was able to see it attempt to flash the signals. So at this point I am assuming that the lirc setup is 100% working, and I am just missing the correct lirc.conf for my settop box. Would you say that is accurate? If no config exists for the SA 3200, is there no way to generate one? Damon. Damon, Can you post the contents of the following files for me: /etc/modules.conf /etc/lircd.conf /etc/rc.d/rc.local your change_chan.sh script (you may just want to backchanell me when you send those files...I'm not really sure what the etiquette would be concerning posting them for the whole list at this point... it's andymyth !at! gmail.com) I'd give the digital camera trick a shot, but the irblaster I bought never actually made light that the camera picked up (though every single other remote I own did). Actually frustrated me for a bit until i figured out that my camera just wasn't picking up on it.

However, it looks like people on this list have reported the explorer 2000 remote file which is on the lirc page works fine with the 3200. Have you tried that file? Have you verified you have light coming out of your IR Blaster? An easy way to do this is with a digital camera or webcam. Hold the short end of the ir emitting unit opposite the end that the cable is entering close to the camera lens and you should see the light on the camera screen when you execute the change channel script.

That disclaimer aside, I've attached a diff of what I changed in the
