Re: [mythtv-users] Torrentocracy with Mandrake 10.1

[Paul Woodward]

I think Isaac, especially in light of NYC artical and similar slurs, wants to 
keep this project and associated records (such as this list) squeaky clean so 
that noone ever has a cause to legislate against this kind of project.

Politicians seems to find reward in passing legislation which has the backing 
of organisations and big businesses - just look at the broadcast flag,
software patent laws in the EU...

It would be easy for a lawyer to construe a helpful answer to your question as 
support from 'MythTV' for potentially illegal activity, whatever the actual 
intentions.

We all love Myth and would hate to see this technology made illegal by someone 
with questionable political motives.

I also use halt in grub. I found that my Suse 8.2 ahs some sort of a butchered 
Grub version, where the savedefault option as quoted in my post just above 
doesn't work. I resorted to using submenus in grub like this:

in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

title PowerOff
  configfile (hd1,4)/grub/halt.lst

then, in halt.lst (the submenu):

title Halt
  savedefault
  halt

The consequence of this is that now my default entry is set to zero again, so 
when the machine wakes up, the topmost entry in menu.lst is highlighted as the 
default. (hd1,4) is my small partition that I mount to /boot.

Active cooling is not always bad.  If you have a location in your case
where air movement is stale, active is a good idea.  A good case won't
have a dead spot and so passive is prefered mostly because it's one less
thing to go bad, as noise on it is so minor.

The newest (released a few months ago) VIA chipset and mpeg2 decoder

someone who will be hopefully soon.  It *should* be possible but don't

The HP L2335 uses the same panel as the apple, is much cheaper and has
composite,svideo,component, vga & DVI-I inputs. And it's not as
expensive. I bought mine last summer, and have been very happy with
it.

Running HDTV res gives you thin black stripes top/bottom or a slightly
stretched picture. I think the 16:10 format screens is a good
compromise to watch both 16:9 and 4:3 content.

[Andrew F]

Tostman wrote in reply to me:
Paul(or anyone),
Did you ever find whether the on-board video/TV-out of your MS-6215 
(Chrontel CH-7007A video encoder, Intel 82801BA graphics, Intel 815 
chipset), worked ok with MythTv ?
I have the i865G chipset on my myth box with the Chrontel chip described 
above. My board has vga, RCA, s-video, and dvi options for video out. In 
linux, I have only been able to get the vga (obviously) and RCA output to 
work. The cavet with the RCA out is that the vga connector can't be plugged 
in at boot (or after) if you want the TV out.

I have been unable to verfiy whether the dvi plug works the same way as the 
RCA (no way to test), but the s-video seems to be worthless in linux.

It should be noted that the optical out works nicely if that is included in 
your chipset.

-- Travis
Thanks, Travis. My motherboard only supports RCA and S-video with only the
former an option for me. Not having the latest distribution of linux or
mythtv around or spare hardware, I booted up the system with the hard disk
from my regular PC. The default video output (displayed for fiddling the
bios) and that displayed under Windows 95 was rather disappointing. The
mother board can be jumpered to support either PAL or NTSC so I tried both
with a dual system TV. The PAL output wasn't even synchronised properly with
my monitor. Lest you say its my monitor, well the monitor is quite happy to
display PAL the rest of the time. NTSC was a lot better, but the picture was
being displayed only took up the centre of the monitor with quite a lot of
area left out. I was expecting the encoder have some reasonable defaults--
is there any reason to expect that myth can do better here or upgrading the
mb firmware will make a difference.
Another potential problem is whether the motherboard will be happy with a
large hard disk.
I tried with a small 20GB disk and Win2K had problem finding itself -
although Win95 further down the disk was happy enough. I thought you could
move disks between systems - is that not always the case?
BTW, does your chipset include the 82815 ? I have no idea whether this would
be an issue with the graphic chip or encoder.
Thanks,

[mythtv-users] (no subject)

[Brad]

I have been struggling, on and off, with getting my DVD player
working with Myth for months (Its actually a DVD writer -- but I'll
wait to tackle that until I can at least get the player part working).
I eventually got it setup and could play dvds, but couldn't transcode
them. Well, I finally figured out that MTD was choking on its log file
at
/var/lib/mythdvd/temp/mtd.log - so I "chmod 666 mtd.log"
and voila! transocde appears to be working (haven't tested it yet, but
at least it gets me past the "MTD is not running"
warning).

Now, however, if I put a dvd in and attempt to play it (via
Xine), it stutters like mad. Totally unwatchable. Now this was working
perfectly when MTD was not running. Its almost like MTD and Xine are
fighting to control the DVD, gobbling all the CPU cycles in the
process, and causing the playback to stutter.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make MTD and Xine peacfully
co-exist? Any help would be much appreciated.

My setup: Pundit, Celeron 2.4, 512Mb, FC1

Haha, oh yes, 20 UKP (~35USD) minimum order (and a 3UKP 'handling' charge)!

I *really* would like to find one, Maplin used to be quite good but have
gone too mainstream and now don't stock half the components they used to.
Farnell have too stupid a minumum order and RS (and all the others I've
found 
are trade only)

Here in the usa the place to get parts is DigiKey (www.digikey.com). They do
not have a minimum order although they will charge a $5 fee for orders under
$25. They have a huge selection of parts. I get their catalog and its grown
to be the size of most phone books.

Also, radio shack carries a couple of items that may be of interest.

RS www sales aren't trade only, just their  in-person collection counters are.
I've ordered loads of stuff from them over the web.

No minimum order size I believe although the postal rates are more attractive
if you can put together a 'larger' order:-

Non-account holders
Normal - next day delivery - Post & Packing charge
Order value £0-£29.99   £4.95 (+VAT)
Order value £30-£79.99  £2.95 (+VAT)
Order value £80+£1.75 (+VAT)

[mythtv-users] Bottom of GUI window hangs screen

[Neil Bird]

  I'm in the process of setting up Myth on a virgin FC3 box;  all's 
going /fairly/ well so far (just found the fix to the hanging-fonts 
problem earlier on the list), except:

  The GUI window (but seemingly only the settings pages) hangs off the 
bottom of the screen, often hiding some of the help prompt and the 
next/back/[something else] buttons.

  I'm running through an nVidia card (S-Video) at 1024x768 into my TV. 
 The normal KDE desktop fills the screen with nothing off the bottom. 
I've not had a chance to run TV mpegs through Myth yet, so I don't know 
if that'll be OK.

  Either Myth's creating the window too big for the display, it's 
resizing the display somehow to be off-screen or it thinks the window it 
has is bigger than it is.  It is odd that nothing seems missing hen in 
the 'normal' pages (currently, mostly just bumming around in MythMusic).

  Any thoughts as to what to check?  Thinking about it, I ought to do 
an xwininfo on myth in normal & settings mode to see what it thinks the 
window size is.

  I did try specifying the window size as 1024x768 instead of 0x0 
('full') to no avail., and when I tried smaller (800x600) it didn't 
'xrandr' the display size as I expected (although maybe that's right in 
this instance) but used just the top-left 800x600, tiling the theme's 
background across the rest of the screen.

  On a slight aside, what would be the recommended display settings for 
me?  I feel I should be setting the GUI and  separately, with GUI as 
full/1024x768 and TV as 'DVD PAL' (720x576).  I'm using a PVR-350, FWIW; 
 I don;t know what its recording res. is;  maybe I'd be better off 
using that size.

D'Oh!!

All the times I've not ordered as I thought they were trade only
and didn't sell to the public, g.
 
Even more annoyingly I *have* a RS catalogue.

Ha, no problems, I'll be ordering all the rest of the components at
the same time anyway.

For reference if anyone else wants the same part ( TSOP1738 )it is 
RS stock number 286-1419 and is 83p

Thanks.

RE: [mythtv-users] MythTv says all inputs in use but none are?

[Tom Williams]

I see nothing being recorded via mythweb, or mythfrontend under
recording, I don't have any other groups, and even if I pull out the
capture card I get the same error (I would expect that:))...any other
thoughts?  All I see on the console output is "Changing from None to
None" ever time I hit watch TV in myth frontend.

Cheers.

The backend info pages both in the frontend and in MythWeb should show
what the tuner cards are recording.

[Charles Waddell]

apt-get made ivtv 0.2.x stable. I had the same issue, but I couldn't get it 
working so I apt-get remove ivtv-[new version] apt-get install ivtv=0.1.10. 
This solved my problems.

Re: [mythtv-users] myth on an old machine(which video capture card)

[Cory Papenfuss]

I know that having a slow machine will affect my experience, but I
just want to get familiar with it before I drop a couple hundred bucks
more for hardware.  So the Hauppauge 250 wouldn't work as well as the
350 you're saying?
	As long as you understand that, I think it's a great place to 
start.  I stared with a BTTV card on a dual celeron 450.  It was enough 
for a proof of concept, but the software encoding of that type of capture 
card was too much for anything over 320x480 on it.  My current setup is a 
PIII-800 with dual PVR-250's.

	My thought on the 250 vs 350 is that the 350 is a waste of money. 
No offense to anyone using or working on it, but it's a very weird setup 
with video overlays, non-Xv-accelerated X, and MPEG2-only decode.  A 650 
MHz machine should *NOT* be "marginal" to play SDTV MPEG2 streams IMO. 
Remember once upon a time when a 450 MHz machine was fast and playing 
DVD's on them took about 60% CPU?  That's what the Mythbox should be 
doing, but it seems there are some code optimizations that are necessary. 
From what I've heard on the list recently, the internal MPEG2 decoding 
library has been changed, which helps CPU useage.  Of course things are a 
bit different if you want on-the-fly filters (deinterlacing, etc)... 
that'll be tough on a 650.

	For your setup, I'd recommend getting a PVR-250 if you don't have 
a bttv-based capture card already to play with.  They're <=$100 if you 
look hard enough, and they'll always be useful.  Once the PVR-150's driver 
is debugged a bit more, it'll be the way to go.

	You'll need a vid card that has Xv, which just about any card <5 
years old will do handily.  NVidia is probably the most used and most 
debugged, but you certainly don't need anything fancy.  Another 
hand-me-down MX400 or even a TNT2 with tvout will work.

Dewey,
Can you pause and rewind live tv on your machine?  I think Khanh is
trying to say I won't be able to do that with the 250?  I bought an
nvidia fx5200 for the video out and a soundblaster card for sound.
When I say the Hauppauge cards are hard to come by...  go to pretty
much any online merchant and every single one of them have those cards
backordered :(
	E-bay, but do a little research.  A very few of them aren't 
supported (Rosalyn-based).

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: LCD Monitor vs. LCD TV for Display

[Greg Cope]

As much as I'd love to spend $/£1300 on something like this, I don't
have the spare cash at the moment.

In the interium I am thinking of getting a 19" LCD Monitor for £200 to
replace my 21" TV - I know the formats are not quite the same so the
19" will be smaller, but I need a tv that accepts Svideo (mine does
not!).

Its that or spending £500 on a 32" WideScreen non HD TV , but I do not
see the point as in a few years we will have HD tv in europe (UK
eventually) so I'd be replacing that again (and by then LCD tv's
will be half/third the price they are now).

Am I makeing a mistake?

I've got the same problem on FC2, there is no 2 gigs file support
build in httpd from the repository.  I've transfered my web server

cool.  It seems to be a common problem with lots of applications these

Linux-dvb no longer supports the 2.4 kernels.  It works fine for 2.6 kernels.

[mythtv-users] Re: myth on an old machine(which video capture card)

[Kelly Reed Schuerman]

I used an Athlon 650 for two years as a frontend/backend with two WinTV
model 401 cards.  I tried all kinds of settings in the recording profiles
until I could successfully record two shows at a time.  The video quality
wasn't great but it was good enough to watch any programs that I missed. 
The "family approval factor" wasn't high but it was positive. The whole
time I wanted to upgrade my hardware but it still served its purpose.

[mythtv-users] HD resolutions thrown out: horizontal sync start not multiple of 8

[Comments]

Hi everyone,
I have an nVidia FX5700LE that is in my soon-to-be Shuttle MythTV 
front-end box.  I have SuSE Linux 9.2 Prof. installed on the system and 
have tried to get a 720p resolution to output to my projector (Panasonic 
PT-AE700U).

The specs on the projector are:
Native Resolution: 1280x720 (16x9 aspect ratio)
H 30.0 - 70.0kHz
V 50 - 87Hz
Dot Clock <= 100
Every 720p resolution that I have tried is being rejected by X.org 
server with a message that the "horizontal sync start () not a 
multiple of 8", where  is the horizontal sync start for the Modeline.

I am using the nVidia drivers from their site.  I am able to get a 720p 
resolution under WinXP that works fine but thoes drivers may not have 
the multiple of 8 restriction.  I haven't looked into that - anyone kow 
how I might look at that info?

Anyone else see this?
Thanks!

Well, all I can say is that

is a 4.1GB DVD image served off a pure FC2/x86_64 system. Perhaps the

Re: [mythtv-users] HD resolutions thrown out: horizontal sync start not multiple of 8

[Cory Papenfuss]

Native Resolution: 1280x720 (16x9 aspect ratio)
H 30.0 - 70.0kHz
V 50 - 87Hz
Dot Clock <= 100
Every 720p resolution that I have tried is being rejected by X.org server 
with a message that the "horizontal sync start () not a multiple of 8", 
where  is the horizontal sync start for the Modeline.

	It's a hardware limitation from what an nvidia guy told me.  If 
you read it carefully, it says horizontal sync... not picture length.  So, 
if your modeline is something like this (sorry, it's not 720p):

ModeLine "ATSC-1080-60i" 74.25 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 Interlace
The "1960" number is the one it's talking about.  That one must be a 
multiple of 8.  The active picture size will still be 1920x1080 if you 
change the 1960 to 1962 or whatever.  I think there are a few other limits 
on multiples of 8s, but the error message changes IIRC.

	All that number is doing is changing the size of the black off the 
rightside of the screen.  If you round it up/down to the nearest multiple 
of 8, you should be set... the picture will move ever so slightly left or 
right.

Yup, I had the same issue.  I found a bunch of sites where people listed
the "official" modelines for HDTV resolutions, and they were all
slightly different.  Most of them didn't work until I found this one:

# From: http://www.gag.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/bdale/pvr
Modeline"720p" 74.25 1280 1312 1592 1648 720 735 742 757

Running a PVR-350 here with a PII-400 Mhz Dell.  Menus aren't as
snappy as they could be I'm sure, but simoultaneous playback and
recording is fantastic due to the onboard encoding/decoding.  As
others have mentioned, the only drawback to this config that I've hit
so far is the inability to play DVD/DivX content through the pvr-350
on lower-powered machines.

[mythtv-users] Air2PC firmware location

[Tom E. Craddock, Jr.]

Howdy,
Im running a 2.6.10 kernel from kernel.org, which has been compiled to 
use the hdtv3k as a DVB card.  It also has support for the air2pc card 
as well.  I just got mine air2pc card today and Im not sure where I 
should put the dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw.  I thought it was /lib/firmware; I 
didnt have that dir so I made it, and copied the *.fw to that dir, as 
well as to /etc/hotplug, but I cant get the card to tune any channels.  
Then dmesg says the following when I run azap

nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw)...
nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload(2)...
nxt2002: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?)
nxt2002: timeout error writing tuner
and so on.  I see that in my modprobe.conf when kudzu detected the card 
it put in an alias eth1 skystar2, should that be there? Shouldnt it be 
some other alias than eth1?  Could that be my problem?  In the rest of 
dmesg, I can see that the card is found and is initialized

ACPI: PCI interrupt :01:08.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopIIB(rev.195) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 38 hardware filters
DVB: registering new adapter (SkyStar2).
saa7115: starting probe for adapter SkyStar2 (0x1)
flexcop_i2c_func
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Nextwave nxt2002 VSB/QAM frontend)...
nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw)...
nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload(2)...
nxt2002: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?)
The same channels can be picked up by the pchdtv3k, so Im sure the 
air2pc should be able to get them with the same antenna.  Anyone have 
any ideas as to where I place the firmware so that it can be uploaded?

You can get by without one as I did for a while.  If you spawn other

one.  In that case you might try ratpoison - as mentioned on this list a

Re: [mythtv-users] Which Window Manager?

[Darren Hart]

Sorry - I've always been curious - what's so wrong with KDE?  I have a 
Barton2500 w/ 512MB RAM on a combined frontend/backend box.  Are the 
lightweight WMs more for people with Epia boxes, and/or those that just 
want to try something else?  I'm just wondering if there would be any 
actual benefit for setup's like mine to switch to a lighter WM?
There is nothing wrong with KDE as a desktop environment (although I am 
a gnome user), but for a dedicated mythbox it's just a flat out waste of 
disk space, RAM, and processor cycles.  Typical Myth usage doesn't use 
anything that a Desktop Environment provides.  No multiple desktops, no 
application servers, no file browsers, no CORBA (gnome), no advanced 
clipboards, panels, menus, applets etc etc etc.

If you are running myth as an application on a desktop computer, and not 
in your entertainment center, then by all means, use a full fledged desktop.

Thanks.

So does everyone have a nice 720p HDTV display? Or do people just use
the S-Video output and watch their HD content in 16:9 480p? [I'm
putting together an HD-3000-based box.]

Is it known if the problem lies with video card drivers, or Linux, or

Re: [mythtv-users] Recorded Show preview color inverted?

[Anthony Floyd]

Hi Ben,

I'm afraid I don't have any help for you.  I just wanted to add a "me
too".  Gentoo with a 2.6.10 kernel, ivtv-0.2.0-rc3, etc.  1x350,
1x250.  The 350 is an older model (don't have the specs on hand right
now) and I've had the problem with it well before I put the new 250
in. Fortunately for me, it doesn't bug the wife too much.

I'm having the same inverted preview colors on my i865G chipset output
on my gentoo 0.16 install.  There were no problems for me under FC1
using 0.16 on the same box so I'm anxious to see what the solution is
too.

Could you tell us what operating system you're using?  Also, if you
having already checked, tailing the the mythbackend log (tail -f
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [on my machine]) and checking to see
whether the backend (/etc/init.d/mythbackend status) and mysql are
running (/etc/init.d/mysql status) may be helpful.

Re: [mythtv-users] [NEW THEME] 'MythCenter'

[Craig Partin]

Well, Microsofts biggest strength is their UI design.  Despite all
their faults they are pretty good at it.  I think the MCE look is very
slick, simple, and visually appealing.

I would like to have a more modern looking theme for myth, but I don't
understand anyone wanting their myth box to look like a win32 box.

Call zap2it.  The university is probably big enough that 
it desrves it's own set of listings.  There must be more people 
there running either myth or mce or tivo or replay or sage...
They would all benefit from the listings showing up correctly.

I was thinking that maybe the university provided a TV schedule 
somewhere on it's "internal" university network web someplace.
I know there are a few college campuses that do this.

If not, I think there's a way to modify the channels within Myth.
Actually, I know there is.  Although after writing all this, zap2it 
may just be the right avenue to go with to start.

> PVR'ers - did you actually read it ?

I disagree... one of the main points of the article still seems to be 
saying that homebrew PVR-ers are trying to get "free TV".  What these 
TV industry types don't seem to understand is that the issue is not 
about getting something for free (as in beer) -- heck, many of us 
actually spend *more* on cable, satellite & premium subscriptions than 
the average viewer -- it's about *control* and the freedom (as in 
speech) to enjoy the content we've paid for in a manner of our own 
choosing.  I don't mind paying for access to content; I do resent being 
locked in to viewing the way some cable company exec has determined (at 
a particular time, in a particular format, or on a particular device).  
As a matter of fact, I would probably spend more on cable TV if the 
content was open.  Right now, the silly hoops that one has to jump 
through in order to use Myth (or Tivo, etc) with a digital cable STB is 
the single biggest factor in keeping me from upgrading to digital 
cable.

Take books as an analogy.  Imagine what would happen if the publishing 
industry only sold books that required special glasses to read them.  
Now imagine that each publishing house's books could only be read with 
their own proprietary glasses.  Such a scheme would actually cause me 
to reduce my spending on books, because of the hassle (note: this is 
exactly why e-books haven't been a large success to date).  In such an 
environment, what I would want is not free (beer) books, but the 
ability to enjoy the books I've purchased on the beach or on a plane 
without needing to lug around several different pairs of glasses.  If 
the publishers are not willing to provide books in an open format 
(i.e., plain paper), then I demand the right and the ability to 
transfer them to such a medium.  This is why PVRs are increasing in 
popularity, and I'll bet that the first content provider to realize 
that and adjust their business model to fit this demand will make a 
killing.

I had a slighty related issue with fontsize on my frontend and another

worked out wonderfully for me.

[mythtv-users] Hauppauge Daisy-Chain or Red Herring?

[joe . white]

I was told at a local linux users group
meeting that it was possible to daisy-chain Hauppauge x50s together so
that only one card need receive an external cable connection.  I haven't
been able to find any reference to this ability.  The guy was a blurter
and an expounder so he may have been full of it.  Has anyone else
daisy chained these cards?

Re: [mythtv-users] Recorded Show preview color inverted?

[Jeff Simpson]

Oh, I love ME-TOOs

put one in for me, too, I have the same problem. Except mine is a
newer PVR-350 (rev990). Used to work fine, now goes berserk.

in a related note, do you know if it's possible to put a timeout on
that little preview window? maybe after 10 minutes of previewing the
same one, stop it? Reason I ask is that with framebuffer, it just
sucks up CPU playing a video in that little box, so I'll be sitting at
my PC wondering why 99% of the CPU is taken, only to find that it's
because I left myth in the watch-recordings screen.

Here is the ethernet traffic i observed during one such error. The
duplicate ACKs looks like it may be the issue ... but a grep through the
larger file show that this happens quite often ... at least in the 20
seconds or so that I captured...

Maybe you have to run the automatic transcoder? to get this to work?

Howdy,
Im running a 2.6.10 kernel from kernel.org, which has been compiled to

didnt have that dir so I made it, and copied the *.fw to that dir, as

Then dmesg says the following when I run azap

I can confirm that /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware is the correct location for

Re: [mythtv-users] Hauppauge Daisy-Chain or Red Herring?

How can you daisy chain something with only one interface?

You need a splitter to get the video signal to more than one card.

I use evilwm for my dedicated mythtv box.  I don't

On my desktop I use Gnome or XFCE, since I like GTK.

I could not agree more.  I think that's why I use to love the
Titivillus theme, but with the "new" pcitures it uses now... well, I
guess it's a preference thing.  Less means more when it comes to UI
IMHO.

Re: [mythtv-users] recorded video preview colors?

[Ben Dash]

Sorry for posting my original question twice, I
thought that I wasn't yet registered on the list due
to the latency.

I'm sure that this is kernel related. Since I was able
to fix it on my r128 machine, by adding the r128
kernel options, gentoo 2.6.9, I hope that I should be
able to get it working on my Mach64 machine.

Something that I'm curious to see is whether the
mach64 frontend will be able to display 640x480 video
without its current video stutter once every couple of
seconds.  Originally I had video in slow motion with
loow sound, but fixed that in mythfrontend
setup.  I can play movie trailers from apple.com fine
full screen with 60% idle and they are about 480x360
resolution, I know this isn't comparing apples ( :-) )
to apples though as that's not MPEG 2.  I'll play
around with transcoding some MPEG2 to different sizes
to see how that effects things.

Changing the size of myhtfrontend to 320x240 while the
backend still encodes at 640x480 made no difference to
the stutter.  The machine is only 400mhz mendocino so
I know that it's at the bottom end of what should be
possible for a frontend, but it's not primarilly a
frontend, I just thought that it's be nice if my wife
had the option to watch TV on her email/browser/office
PC.  It's s close to working, apart from the
colors in the video preview and the slight stutter,
and a solution for one may end up being a solution for
both.

Another thought is that I need to make sure that the
Mach64 machine has Xv enabled, that may make all the
difference it it's not currently working...

Any other ideas, please don't tell me that 400mhz is a
lost cause :-)

[mythtv-users] channel data for air2pc not filling

[James Armstrong]

Is there anything special I need to do to get guide data to fill for my 
Air2PC channels? I setup the source, linked it to zap2it and ran 
mythfilldatabase. Mythfilldatabase is putting in guide data for channels 
in the format of '2-1', but not the new channels for air2pc in the 
format of '21'. Here is how I have the channel setup:

Sourceid  channum  callsign  name   freqid
   1  21   WCBDDTWCDB-DT50-1
Mythfilldatabase is putting in the following channel automatically 
(after I delete it):

Sourceid  channum  callsign  name freqid
   1  2-1  WCBDDTWCDB-DT (WCBD-DT)50-1
The second one 2-1 shows guide data after mythfilldatabase. The correct 
one entered when I setup the air2pc card 21 is showing 'unknown' for the 
guide data. Is there anything else I am supposed to do?

Others have already replied with what you need, but I'll reply to this

anything.  If the eth1 really bothers you, you can remove the line from

Re: [mythtv-users] osd overscan

[Endaf Jones]

Thanks, but no, this does not fix the essence of the problem.
The "video" can be over scanned by the nvidia card and several other 
video scan conversion devices.  In doing so, the OSD (while the video is 
showing) doesn't know this and it projects as if the screen is not over 
scanned (the edges are chopped off).   There needs to be a setting for 
OSD width/height so that you can reduce the size of the text windows.

The non OSD menus (graphics when no video is showing) can be fixed by 
reducing the width and height and increasing the X and Y offset's to 
center the text.

I'm surprised no one was fix this yet.

OSD. Changing the ones under tv playback settings results in a poorer
tv pictue.
   

I had a slighty related issue with fontsize on my frontend and another

[mythtv-users] Gradually choppy TV with latest CVS

[Larry Silverman]

After running 0.16 from RPMs for a while, I got bold and decided to
rebuild my own from CVS.  I have an Athlon XP 1800+ CPU and set the
-march=athlon-xp.  I read about some people in the past having slower
performance with this flag over pentiumpro, but it's been a long time
since anyone recently complained of this, so I figured I'd try it.

The problem I'm having is this.  I start watching TV, and everything
is just fine.  If I stay on the channel, it's fine.  If I switch
channels, the next channel starts off fine, but about 4 seconds later,
the video gets choppy.  The audio is flawless.  The video stutters,
like I'm only seeing every nth frame.  It's consistent, it doesn't
seem to get better or worse with time.

I'm guessing this is a capture issue and not a decoding issue, 
because when I rewind live TV and watch from the buffer, it is choppy
in the same way.  Maybe that's an ignorant statement, possibly when I
watch live TV I'm just watching from the buffer anyway, I don't know.

I'm using a Hauppage 250 card and I'm using an FC3 build following
Jarod's guide, except I decided to build all the myth modules myself. 
I have a 5200FX video card, enabled OpenGL on all builds that had the
option, and am NOT using XvMC.  I tried a build with XvMC, and got the
weirdest distortions in the video.  Looked like a psychodelic trip.

I'm seeing this in mythfrontend.log:
2005-02-04 12:01:11.123 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame.
Dropping. #Frames=38/31.
2005-02-04 12:01:11.128 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame.
Dropping. #Frames=37/31.
2005-02-04 12:01:11.128 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame.
Dropping. #Frames=36/31.

I see nothing in my mythbackend log that pertains.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks,

Larry

RE: [mythtv-users] Hauppauge Daisy-Chain or Red Herring?

[Glen Johnson]

He is full of it.  To daisy chain
anything, all but the last device in the chain would have to have an input and
also an output.

The 250 doesn’t have any output at
all.  The 350 only has baseband video and audio so if you chained via these
connections, the only thing the entire chain would record is what ever signal
the first one was seeing.

[mythtv-users] "Steal This Show" John Markoff's response

[Cecil Watson]

My email to John:
John,
 When you contacted me about the article you were writing about
MythTV, you stated that it was about the community.  After reading the
article, it made it sound like the community was a pack of thieves.
This has cause a great stir in the community.  Many, myself included
feel the article protraits us in a bad light.  Having been a member of
the community for well over a year, I can say without reservation that
this isn't the spirit of the community.  The development community
around MythTV works on it because we feel there is a better way.  The
program "Videora" isn't a MythTV module, it doesn't even run on Linux.
Prior to reading your article, I had not even hear of Videora.  While
the past cannot be undone, I feel the least you can do is personally
apology to the community.
Regards,
Cecil Watson
His response:
Hi Cecil,
   Although I don't specifically remember saying it was about community, I
totally agree with you. I was tremendously upset with the title and the top
of the story, which is not what I had reported. It represents the danger of
working with another reporter who has a very different view of the world. My
original charter had been to find out how hacking (in the good sense) was
changing TV. That is what I reported. That is not what appeared in the
article. 
   The problem was complicated by the fact that I was traveling to Europe
during the time the piece was written and edited. It was largely a fait
accompli by the time I had arrived and gotten over jet lag.
   That said, that is not an excuse. I was totally shocked by the headline.
I did write that Isaac was a "rebel," but once again I didn't mean it in the
thief sense of the word. And I attempted to correct some of the material
about not needing set top boxes after that, but was ignored.
   Anyway, if you go back and look at my stuff over the years, although
I've been attacked by the Kevin Mitnick crowd, I think you'll see that I
have been very supportive of the real hacker community.
   I understand that the damage has been done, so please apologize to the
community on my behalf. I will try to rectify it in the future.

Best,
John Markoff

[mythtv-users] FC3 - can't change channels

[Andrew Bassett]

I've been wrestling with this myth setup for a few days now, but I think 
I finally have things semi-working. I followed Jarod Wilson's guide.

When I would fire up myth, I was getting the error of no tuner, so i 
added the following to /etc/rc.local.

/sbin/modprobe ivtv
I originally was using ivtv 0.2.x, but I was just getting static 
whenever I tried to watch live tv. This was fixed by adding the 
following to /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
Per the advice of a friend I rolled that back to 
ivtv-0.1.10-49.2_pre2_ck100zz, but left the alias entries in 
/etc/modprobe.conf

I thought everything was working, so I set a scheduled recording, and 
myth didn't change the channel to what I wanted to record. I looked on 
the threads, and the solution that came up was to re-run 
mythfilldatabase, but I did that, and it still doesn't work. I can see 
all the channels when I go to schedule a recording, but I can't change 
channels when I try to watch live tv.

[mythtv-users] Air2PC Driver Software?

[clemens]

I understand that the Air2PC driver has been integrated into the 2.6.10
kernel (Im currently running 2.6.9, but will upgrade)

Is there some site I should be aware of that has updates to this driver?
I know Ive seen things mentioned on this and the Development list, but
cant find the messages at the moment.

I could be wrong, but isn't the second coax-type connector used for FM
radio on the 350s ?  I don't think there is a 'cable out' port.

OK, sorry I don't meant ETI (Extra Terrastical Intelligence) :-) ...

- recompile and try again
I also have to comment this out at my machine to get EPG working. 
Please, give me feedback if this is working for you. I will report to

distribution would be helpful.  and maybe a list of your hardware..?
i have the Chaintech 7NIFS mobo with built in ethernet.  on my first
install i didn't have network connectivity because the onboard
ethernet hadn't been enabled in the BIOS.  i had the same error... so
you may want to check BIOS settings if you're using onboard
components.

I think CPU is not an issue but I am still looking for hints on how to
play other content on the TV-OUT port. Google is my friend but in this
case I could not get my friend to come up with a working answer.

[mythtv-users] LIRC on x86_64 SuSE 9.2 Compile Issue

[Michael Haan]

Not strictly a myth issue except that it's keeping me from moving forward
with my install.  First, thanks to those of you who have tried to help me so
far.  My issue:  I cannot make my PVR-350 remote work with LIRC on x86_64
SuSE 9.2.  The default install does not seem to support the necessary
lirc_dev and lirc_i2c modules.  So, i uninstalled that and tried to
build/install lirc from source.  I'm able to coax the make (after creating a
sym link to fixdep), but make install fails.  Seems the install wants a
lirc_dev.ko, but the buld creates lirc_dev.o.  I've posted this to the lirc
list, but they are very quiet over there.  The must be someone who has a new
PVR-350 working on SuSE 9.2 x86_64 kernel = 2.6.8-24-default.  I need to
know what you did, and where you got it.  Thanks.

The 17"-19" monitors are not good choices for TV since they are 5:4
geometry, and will give you black bars on 4:3, big black bars on 16:9
and so on. You should really try to stretch your budget to something
like the Dell FP2001,or even better the Dell FPW2005, which is just a
little bit more expensive.

That said, I'm using a wallmounted  18" samsung 181T as my kitchen TV
happily, but it was a monitor not seeing any other use.

RE: [mythtv-users] Which Window Manager?

[Chris Lynch]

Could you please provide any insight in making the switch.  I've got a
relatively low powered P3 running Myth dedicated and would be fine with not
using KDE as a primary WM.

What did you do to switch over?

I use ratpoison. This is a lightweight, low disk space hog, mouse-less
window manager (you use keyboard shortcuts to fire up any apps you may need
- the only app I ever fire up is xterm).

It works very well and is simple to use. There's a very small amount of
setup required to stop using KDE and start using this but I have all the
details if you need it. It's very easy. Its home page is at
http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/

I'd say most have some sort of higher than 800x600 (SVGA) Display, be it
projectors, rear projection, or computer monitors.  There are a handful
of people I know of using SVGA or even Composite.

Video card.  You can get 1080i through VGA but not DVI is what I've
heard.  I'd be curious to know if anyone does 1080p over DVI.

Mail NVidia, but from my knowledge they pretty much ignore everyone and
do whatever on their own schedule.

Re: [mythtv-users] Hauppauge Daisy-Chain or Red Herring?

[Jeff Simpson]

Without reading the manual (or having looked at the manual a long time
ago), I can see that it would be pretty easy to make that mistake

The back of the card has two F connectors, one used for cable /
antenna input. If I didn't know that the other one was for the dipole
FM antenna, I would have assumed it to be the pass-thru cable out,
too.
