Re: [mythtv-users] MythDVD installed, but MIA

[Bob Wiegand]

 I have mythtv installed and working. And if I run rpm -qa it tells me
 I
 have mythdvd installed. But on mythfrontend in setup I do not see the
 screen for mythdvd. And if I run /usr/bin/mtd -n it tells me I do not
 have
 a DVD directory setup, and to run setup. Not sure where to run setup?
 Any help appreciated.
 
 Danny Aldham

I had this same problem with version 0.16.

If I remember correctly, after I installed mythmusic the mythdvd setup
showed up. I suspect there is something missing in the mythdvd setup
and it isn't creating the menus correctly.

[mythtv-users] so close, but so far to finished install

[Aaron Aguilar]

I decided to compile the new mythtv (0.17) and it worked pretty well. 
(I'm using Debian Sarge by the way.)  I haven't been able to finish up
the installation unfortunately.  I have been using a few guides on the
web and the mythtv documentation of course, but I would really
appreciate it if someone could help me on just a few things.

1.) Any advice whatsoever on getting my sound card detected and
installed will be much appreciated.  I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1
and just can't seem to get it right even using info found on the web. 
My biggest issue is that info center shows all of my PCI devices,
including my sound card, but trying to run alsamixergui  for instance
won't work.

2.) How do I know if my Hauppauge 250 card was detected and is usable?
 When I try to run setup /dev/video0-13 all say that nothing is
detected so I am assuming that I  need to do something more to get it
detected.

3.) When I do a mythfilldatabase i get an error:
06:30:29.112 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5)
Connection timed out.
You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.
error resceduling id -1 in ScheduledRecording::signalChange

I am really not sure at all what this means.  I know that you can put
a different IP address in there during setup, but I have no idea what
one to try.

If you can help me on any or all of these points I would really appreciate it.

[mythtv-users] myth0.17 compile problem

[Tony Luha]

Hi
I'm trying to compile mythtv-0.17 on a Suse 9.2 system following Robert 
Kulagowski's HowTo.

I've successfully installed the Linux 2.6.9 kernel from the tarball, 
successfully installed LAME and I have extracted the mythtv-0.17 tarball. 
Then:

$ ./configure worked fine
$qmake mythtv.pro worked fine

Does anyone have a gentoo ebuild for mythfrontend 0.15.1.
I just setup a new frontend with gentoo but 0.15.1 was not available

0.15.1, don't really want to ugrade
it just yet.
Have a look in the Gentoo CVS here:
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/media-tv/mythfrontend/
There is an ebuild which has been deleted from the CVS but is still 
hiding in the attic.

If you are using something that has been removed from the portage tree 
like this you'll probably want to edit your 
/etc/portage/package.keywords file to ensure that an emerge world does 
not accidently upgrade it for you.

Hey Rob,

Thanks very much.  I had no idea there was a legal way to receive

 It's entirely legal if you pay for the service and use a CAM module with

 My understanding is that with Foxtel analogue, a DVB-S card with the

That's 7MHz if you're in Australia. I had to provide a frequency too. 
Actually, i had to provide all the frequencies, one by one.
You normally shouldn't need to do that if you did a Full Transport 
Scan - the DVB code will check the stream for other network information 
and watch those frequencies too.  (In my case, this resulted in too many 
transports since I'm on a local UHF repeater and the network scan gave 
me all the UHF frequencies in addition to the VHF ones)

Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] 0.17 broke my DVB setup :(

[belcampo]

Hi all,

Shouldn't the upgrade at least keep existing channels working ? And that 
scanning only would add so called 'new' found channels?
In a perfect world current system would work, but scanning in my case fails to 
detect BBC 2 England from Astra 28.2E, where dvbscan does. 
As far as I can see there is no way, other than changing the dbtables 
directly, to get BBC 2 added. Manual adding in setup of channels ain't 
possible anymore.

I have a setup with 2 NovaT's and a PVR250.  I have DVB0 set to start 
on channel 2 and DVB set to start on channel 7.

No matter what I do DVB0 always try's to start on channel 3, I've tried 
manually updating the database but it still starts on channel 3 no idea 
where it's getting number 3 from, I've never had a channel 3 ?

Fwd: [mythtv-users] Anyone with working DVB-S in Australia ?

[David Whyte]

True, so very true.

But to use my PC to record the DVB-S stream, I would need to
decode/crack it, which would be seen as illegal I am sure.  That is my
understanding of how to get Foxtel via the PC anyway.  If there is a
different way, let me know, becuase I pay for Foxtel, and would love
to record it on my Myth box.

Ouch. I'm running CVS from a few weeks ago and I've never seen this (PS

But migration from old dvb tables to new should be simple insert into select

There won't be any greater support for FC1 than ensuring the packages
build. The guide for FC3 will probably work for 90% of FC1, but
especially udev related parts will break.

Also you would require a bleeding version of qt. So perhaps it's time
for an upgrade? :)

Packages will hit the repo later today. If you are bored you can try
the latest CVS builds that are very close to the release itself.

 There won't be any greater support for FC1 than ensuring the packages
 build. The guide for FC3 will probably work for 90% of FC1, but
 especially udev related parts will break.
 
 Also you would require a bleeding version of qt. So perhaps it's time
 for an upgrade? :)
 
 Packages will hit the repo later today. If you are bored you can try
 the latest CVS builds that are very close to the release itself.

	Boy, this is *awfully* close.  I'm surprised that the patch still 
applies, but it certainly did.  There are a few issues with it, however. 
I've got a transcoded (MPEG4) file I've been messing with.

- Playing works, but seeking has issues (can't find keyframes).  It gets 
temporarily macroblocked when seeking, and I get messages like this 
while seeking in the .nuv file:
snip

- Copying to an AVI almost works with this command:
mencoder test.nuv -oac copy -ovc copy -o test.avi -force-avi-aspect 1.33
... but it spews out messages like this:
snip

snip
... and the resulting .avi file will play, but barf on a seek with this:
snip

Exiting... (End of file)
	It certainly looks like the keyframes are being called duplicate 
frames by mencoder and either not copied or not marked as keyframes. 
Looking through the headers and the patch, the datatype has apparently 
changed somewhat since the patch was created.  The patch looks like this:
+/* for MythTV */
+typedef struct extendeddata
+{
+   int version;// yes, this is repeated from the file header
+   int video_fourcc;   // video encoding method used
+   int audio_fourcc;   // audio encoding method used
+   // generic data
+   int audio_sample_rate;
+   int audio_bits_per_sample;
+   int audio_channels;
+   // codec specific
+   // mp3lame
+   int audio_compression_ratio;
+   int audio_quality;
+   // rtjpeg
+   int rtjpeg_quality;
+   int rtjpeg_luma_filter;
+   int rtjpeg_chroma_filter;
+   // libavcodec
+   int lavc_bitrate;
+   int lavc_qmin;
+   int lavc_qmax;
+   int lavc_maxqdiff;
+   // unused for later -- total size of 128 integers.
+   // new fields must be added at the end, above this comment.
+   int expansion[113];

... but the format.h in mythtv-0.16 (which is what I recorded it with) 
looks like this:

typedef struct extendeddata
{
   int version;// yes, this is repeated from the file header
   int video_fourcc;   // video encoding method used
   int audio_fourcc;   // audio encoding method used
   // generic data
   int audio_sample_rate;
   int audio_bits_per_sample;
   int audio_channels;
   // codec specific
   // mp3lame
   int audio_compression_ratio;
   int audio_quality;
   // rtjpeg
   int rtjpeg_quality;
   int rtjpeg_luma_filter;
   int rtjpeg_chroma_filter;
   // libavcodec
   int lavc_bitrate;
   int lavc_qmin;
   int lavc_qmax;
   int lavc_maxqdiff;
   // seek table offset
   long long seektable_offset;
   // key frame adjust offset
   long long keyframeadjust_offset;
   // unused for later -- total size of 128 integers.
   // new fields must be added at the end, above this comment.
   int expansion[109];
} MYTH_PACKED extendeddata;
	Anyway, it looks like the patch will still apply to mplayer and 
play (albeit slightly broken with no keyframes).  Copying the streams 
directly almost works as well, but the patch needs a bit more tweaking.  I 
might see if I can tinker with it (or shove it off on someone who codes 
better than I).

[mythtv-users] channel table dump for uk_rt and crystal palace DVB (WAS 0.17 broke my DVB setup :()

[Andrew Ingram]

 I'm not sure - if the name/callsign of the existing channels 
 don't match what is broadcast over the air then it you might 
 wind up with duplicates. In the long term you'll probably 
 want to change everthing to the names that come in over the 
 air or it might keep re-adding the channels.
 
 I only have DVB cards so I just threw everything out and 
 started fresh.
 

Thanks Tom. I started from scratch like yourself and it went OK, after a bit
of tweaking. For some reason I'm struggling to get listings data for a
couple of channels (Sky News  Bid TV) though but I'll work that out. Also,
some of the channels were detected by with no channum (Ftn, UKTV Bright
Ideas, Ideal World. TMF, The Hits). I'm assuming all of those are ones which
only work after 7pm or something.

Because of this, please could someone who has upgraded to 0.17, uses the
Crystal Palace DVB-T transmitter and uses tv_grab_uk_rt email me a dump of
their mythconverg.channels table? It would really help me sort out a few
little bugs I have at the moment.

Thanks,
Andrew

RE: Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] 0.17 broke my DVB setup :(

[Andrew Ingram]

 Shouldn't the upgrade at least keep existing channels working 
 ? And that scanning only would add so called 'new' found channels?
 In a perfect world current system would work, but scanning in 
 my case fails to detect BBC 2 England from Astra 28.2E, where 
 dvbscan does. 
 As far as I can see there is no way, other than changing the 
 dbtables directly, to get BBC 2 added. Manual adding in setup 
 of channels ain't possible anymore.
 
 Henk Schoneveld

Nope, the new system disregards the old dvb tables (I think dvb_channel,
dvb_pids and dvb_sat). In future versions these tables will be dropped in
the DB upgrade so it's best you back up that information now as it might
come in useful later on.

[mythtv-users] lirc do not interact with MythTV

[Matthias Meyer]

Hello,

I am using MythTV 0.16-1 and try to use lirc-0.7.0.
The first test with irw was successfull. Every keypress was been displayed 
by irw. Therfore lirc and the remote control should work, I think.

Than I try to interconnect lirc with MythTV by follow the instructions of 
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.2
Because I use the binary distribution of MythTV I try the non-nativ mode 
with irxevent.
I have a irxevent within my lirc-0.7.0 sources but after the make I do not 
have the program irxevent :-O.
I also try it with irexec but without success.
After starting of irexec I can additional start irw wich will display the 
pressed keys again.
However, MythTV do not reflect to the pressed keys.

Hot to configure to interact lirc with the binary version of MythTV?
Anybody can help me?

Thanks in advance :-)

Are you using EIT from the DVB stream or xmltv? I'm using xmltv
and am getting listings for Sky News but not for Bid TV.

Those channels you list as having no channel numbers are all on
the same multiplex, and are the only channels on that multiplex
so it looks like it failed to pick up the channel numbers on that
multiplex for some reason. My setup managed to pick them up.

I can convert the data from the old dvb channel tables into the

You don't need to convert the data. All you need to do is run the 
setup program and scan for channels and it should find 
them all and 
   

But migration from old dvb tables to new should be simple insert into select [some fields] from dvb_channel, dvb_pids where ... -
shouldn't it?
 

The database structure with regards to DVB has been completely changed 
(and it's now much more logical). This was needed to simplify things and 
to allow many of the new DVB features (channel scanning, autopid, guide 
data etc.) and will also hopefully make it possible in the future to 
record multiple programs simultaneously from the same transport.

The new structure is completely different and some info is missing in 
the old db so unfortunately there is no easy way to automatically 
migrate the data. It should however be possible to salvage some of the 
data with some manual work. You will probably need to work out the 
details yourself but I think something like this could work:

-create temporary table dvb_temp select chanid,channum,serviceid,icon... 
from channel join dvb_channel...
-truncate channels and repopulate the db with the scanner in setup
-update channels,dvb_temp set channels.channum=dvb_temp.channum... where 
channels.serviceid=dvb_temp.serviceid (this requires serviceid to be 
properly set in your old data, or that you have some other good key to 
use to map the data)
-update recordings,recordedmarkup (?) and maybe some more tables to use 
the new channel IDs.

Everyone's situation is different so it's probably hard to make 
something that will work for everyone but if you figure out a way to do 
it please share it with the list. And don't forget to backup your db 
before messing with this... :)

in case some were encrypted or something, and none seem to broadcast.
any suggestions??

[mythtv-users] Deblocking and Smoothening filters for ivtv

[Utsav Pardasani]

When capturing from digital cable boxes / satellite recievers, there are times 
when capture from
an mpeg-based encoder will be just plain nasty.  Especially when viewing on a 
bigscreen TV.  This
is since the stream into the box is in MPEG form, and MPEG does not do well at 
encoding MPEG.  

Is there a way to smoothen out the MPEG artifacts with a deblocking/smoothening 
filter? 

--thanks

[mythtv-users] ivtv YUV playback

[Utsav Pardasani]

Is there a way to get Myth to playback YUV instead of MPEG from the ivtv 
driver?  This would be
great in cases where the PVR outputs MPEG artifacts onscreen.

[mythtv-users] Ran out of video buffers (mythtranscode)

[myth]

Hi

I am trying to get transcoding to work. I can record video just fine
via my pvr 350. What I then tried was something like

  mythtranscode -i 7_20050212165400_20050212165500.nuv --profile \
  autodetect --fifodir .

After a few seconds I get the following output:

  Stream: 0 Type: 0
  Stream: 1 Type: 1
  Input #0, mpeg, from '7_20050212165400_20050212165500.nuv':
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, 720x576, 25.00 fps

Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s
  Ran out of video buffers!

The resulting 7_20050212165400_20050212165500.nuv.tmp fiile is only
a few KB big (73 in this case).

Does anyone know whats going on? What more info can I provide?

 I'm using ALSA (my output device is set to ALSA:default), and sound

 /dev/mixer2, /dev/mixer3, and none of those worked.  Sound works in
 other applications (such as xmms), and I can use alsamixer without any

 Does anyone have any ideas of what could have caused this or how to fix
 it?  Thanks a ton.

RE: [mythtv-users] Sound PVR-350

[Ronald Kohsman]

An update

 1. Tuner Sound
Donethanks for the help. Used the ramdisk for everything but the
ivtv and ivtv-fb.

I put the msp3400, ivtv and ivtv-fb in the rc.local...in that order.

Works.

 2. X on the TV Out
Done.Loaded ivtv-devel...works.

 3. Lirc (can not get irw to work, no file error) 
Done. Crappy work around. The stupid udev is not working...oh well. I
put in the rc.local after ivtv-fb:

/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc
service lircd start

 4. Transcoding (best 
 setup for multicasting within the house on 802.11b) Using VLC
Not working on it right now. Playing with it.

New problem cropped up. The stupid remote would not change channels. A
workaround is, rc.local:

/etc/init.d/mythbackend start
sleep 3
/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop
/etc/init.d/mythbackend start

Then the mplayer would not work with lirc. Fixed by copying the
~/.mythtv/lircrc to ~/.lircrc.

The last trivial problem is the cddb and imdb lookups are not working.

Later.

   Ok as I understand it, you need to start ivtv
 and
   lirc
   before you start mythbackend.  First though, you
   need
   to load the modules.  I got this from
  
 

http://wilson-stowe.com/family/mythtv/installguide#AutomaticallyStarting
  everythingonBootUp
   
   You need two scripts.  You must be root.
   
   1) First create a script named ivtv in
  /etc/init.d/
   
   --
   # modprobe v4l1-compat # if not compiled into
 the
   kernel
   modprobe ivtv
   # use the following if you use TV-Out on PVR350
   modprobe ivtv-fb
   --
   
   2) Change the permissions to allow to run by
  anyone:
   
   chmod +x /etc/init.d/ivtv
   
   3) Now you have to get it to load but scripts
 have
  a
   hierarchy.  Lower numbers have higher priority. 
  Get
   a
   listing of your /etc/rc2.d directory:
   
   cd /etc/rc2.d
   ls
   
   You're going to see a lot links in this
 directory.
  
   Those links that start with K are not running
 at
   this run level .  Those starting with S are
   running.
Note the number that mythbackend runs.  You
 need
  to
   create a symbolic link but a number lower than
   mythbackend.  For me I had to get it lower than
  86.
   
   ln -s /etc/init.d/ivtv S84ivtv
   
   Now do the same in rc5.d.  I'm not sure if this
 is
   necessary but I wanted to be sure because rc5 is
  X.
   
   cd /etc/rc5.d
   ln -s /etc/init.d/ivtv S84ivtv
   
   4)  Now do the same for lirc.  I'm not sure how
  this
   will work since you haven't gotten lirc to work
  yet,
   but once you do, you'll need it.  First the
 script
   for
   /etc/init.d/lirc :
   
   
   #setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
   modprobe lirc_i2c
   
   
   Make it executable:
   
   chmod  +x /etc/init.d/lirc
   
   5)  Now create links in the different rc levels.
 
   Again same rule on the priority level.
   
   cd /etc/rc2.d
   ln -s /etc/init.d/lirc S85lirc
   
   cd /etc/rc5.d
   ln -s /etc/init.d/lirc S85lirc
   
   
   I don't know what the effect of having done the
   changed the ramdisk.  Maybe nothing.  Hopefully
  this
   helps.

[mythtv-users] Modeline question (NOT which modeline should I use...)

[Robin Smith]

Are modelines in Linux specific to the TV, the video card or both? 

Basically, I am having modeline issues trying to get my FX5600 to
output to my Panasonic PT-53x54 (53 widescreen HDTV) via a DVI - HDMI
cable - none of the ones I have tried on the web give good results.

I want to do the powerstrip thing but don't want to take my Mythbox
apart and install Windows. I have another PC with DVI out (running an
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro). Can I just bring it to my HDTV, hook it up and
use it with PowerStrip to get the modeline I need?

Also, on some of the modelines I try, the res appears to be smaller
than the display dimensions, so I get a weird scrolling desktop
effect, anyone know what causes this. my Xorg.0.log at one point
reported something like virtual 1920 x 1080 desktop detected (I
don't have that log anymore, so the message may not be accurate). It
looked like it did a 720x480 actual res, with a virtual scrolling
desktop of 1920x1080.

Thanks

[mythtv-users] Need Unichrome X background for M10K

[Eric Webb]

Hi guys,

I've been running 0.16 on a test system (Celery system running Slackware 10 
with a PVR-250 as input and software decompression on output).  Graphics were 
on a Viper 770 that I had laying around.   I'm ready to move this setup to an 
EPIA M1 and need some background.

It looks like this version of slack runs X.org's X server versus Xfree's.  I'm 
completely new to X.org... who are they, what's different, what's the (brief) 
story here?

I see a lot of mention of XvMC and I see what it stands for, but I don't 
understand where it fits into the picture.

After googling a lot, I'm confused by all of the different EPIA development.  
I guess Via is doing some and others are doing their own stuff.  Thus far, 
I'm using the ALSA snd_via82xx module that came with slackware, and I 
downloaded and compiled the viafb module from ViaArena (package 
CLE266FBDv0.82-lite_20030819).  The modules seem to load okay, but I haven't 
figured out why I get no sound output (checked channels with alsamixer).  I 
edited my existing xorg.conf file and changed the nv driver under the 
Device section to via.  KDE come up okay, so I guess the viafb driver is 
happy.

But when I start up mythbackend and mythfrontend, I get a blank screen and 
then the console locks up.  I can still telnet into the machine, and I see 
that mythfrontend repeatedly compains Timed out waiting for free video 
buffers.  Why?

Should I dump the viafb driver and use the one from the Unichrome project?  
Should I use the plain X support, XvMC, or DRI?  Which buys me hardware 
MPEG-2 decompression?

[mythtv-users] Frontend IR Receivers/Remotes

[mythtv]

I am writing this as a warning to anyone trying IR Receivers and remotes for
there frontend systems.

My setup:
I have a backend system with all my 250s in it, an Xbox frontend, and a normal
PC frontend. All systems (besides Xbox) running FC2 with 2.6.10 kernels.

I have tried two or three remotes from for my PC frontend. Since it does not
have a 250 in it I needed a remote and a receiver. I have read in this list
that these recievers / remotes where working and I felt I needed to also post
back to the list with feedback with my experiences.

I have tried the following remotes:

MCE Remote and receiver.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=80-100-202depa=0
This is a new Phillips model and I have confirmed (from reading the lirc mailing
list) that this receiver does not work. The older Microsoft Media Center remote
may, I don’t have one of those.

StreamZap Remote:
There is a patch for this remote for the 2.6.10 kernel and lirc however I could
never get it to work. I email the person who made the patch but never got a
response.

At this point I am not sure what I am going to get for this frontend. I may
build an IR receiver or look for another solution. If anyone has any
suggestions I would be more than willing to try them. This by far has to be the
most frustrating part of setting up my frontend system.

1.  How do I apply it?  What's the command?

2.  Just looking at the patch I see this:
diff -ru MPlayer-0.90/libmpdemux/demux_nuv.c and other references to files
in a directory named  MPlayer-0.90.  Do I need to edit the patch and
change the directory name to something else?  Looking in the MPlayer-1.0pre6
source code directory I don't see any directories named  MPlayer-0.90.

3.  I don't use Gentoo and I compile MPlayer myself, is there any reason why
I can't use this patch?

Thanks much,

Patrick.

When you compiled myth, did you uncomment the section for compiling in 
support for DVB OTA EPG info, ex:

#define the following if you want On Air Guide information
DEFINES += USING_DVB_EIT

I have a FX 5500 SVIDEO out to my 27 Sony TV.  it's not HD.  I have

tell me what I should be setting as far as modeline line in my xorg.conf

Rick

Very similar to my setup.  I have a nVidia 5700LE connected to a 32 
Sony (also not HD, that upgrade is 6-18 months away) over s-video.   The 
easy/default  thing was to run the nvidia drivers 640x480.  For me this 
more or less just worked.  But this is also not quite everything it can 
be.  It's NTSC, and you should be able to drive it at 720x480 even 
thought that doesn't seem to be a built in modeline.

For me, adding the following line to the 'Section Monitor':
  ModeLine 720x480NTSC  27.5  720 744 800 872  480 483 485 525
and a corresponding line to the 'Subsection Display' of my 'Section 
Screen':
Modes   720x480NTSC

This pushed it up to 720x480.  I also needed to add some of the nvidia 
driver specific options to the 'Section Device' to keep it from 
occasionally being confused and thinking the wrong display was attached. 
   you will also want to use the nvidia-settings tool from nvidia to 
tune overscan, color, etc to match the s-video signal from the Myth 
computer with video essentials or the like.

The only remaining basic problems I have with this are:
  - xine seems to have a blue line at the top of the letterbox when 
playing anamorphic discs. I have no idea why. I'm pretty sure this 
didn't happen in 640x480 mode so I am rather confused.
  - I am really unsatisfied with the video quality from the PVR 350. It 
looks like VHS. This is especially noticeable when comparing news crawls 
on CNN or the like between the MythTV s-video feed and the tuner in the 
TV itself. I am quite confident this is on the capture/encoding side 
since X and DVD playback is as sharp as any of my other settop players.
 -for whatever reason, I have not gotten DVD playback to do 5.1 audio 
pass through to my receiver. but I haven't dug too deep into this yet
 - It's rather irksome that XvMC seems to be completely broken on x86_64.

My setup is xorg-x11 6.8.0-r3 with nvidia drivers rev 6629 on an AMD 64 
with a gentoo install.

Re: [mythtv-users] 0.17 mythfrontend gentoo ebuild

[David Madsen]

I had the same problem.  I debugged it, and the problem is that there
is no ChangeLog file in the tarball and the gentoo ebuild is expecting
there to be one.  You can fix this temporarily (until you sync your
portage tree) by editing

/usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv-0.17.ebuild 

and changing this line

 myth_src_install || die failed to install 

to just

 myth_src_install

[mythtv-users] High kernel CPU usage on AMD64

[shermannmin]

Does anyone know why playback of SD recordings in mythtv uses up so much kernel 
CPU? Vmstat reports 45 55 0 0 for us sy id wa, respectively (I'm told there's a 
problem with top and 2.6 kernels). 

It seems to me that mpeg decoding of DVD's should be identical in terms of CPU 
utilization, but it's apparently not: vmstat reports 13 0 86 1 when I'm 
watching a DVD using xine, which seems about right to me. What's more 
interesting is that even though I'm already at 0% idle with SD channels, HD 
playback still (largely) works--user CPU increases but kernel CPU drops: 65 35 
0 0.

The reason I'm looking at this in the first place is because I'm experiencing 
playback choppiness when switching channels or bringing up the program info 
OSD, both with SD and HD channels. Exiting and starting again usually fixes the 
problem. I've tried a variety of things I've found in the dev and user forums 
(e.g., turning off commflagging), but nothing has helped so far. 

My setup is:
  AMD64 3000+
  pcHDTV-3000
  PVR-250
  Nvidia 6600GT
  Suse 9.2 (linux-2.6.8-24)

As for my version of mythtv, I'm compiling from CVS with the only changes in 
settings being alsa and opengl vsync support. 

This behavior (the cpu stats as well as the playback choppiness) has been 
around since I started about a month ago. I've tested it with a CVS pull from 
yesterday (2/11), too. 

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone may have on this.

Re: [mythtv-users] i810/xvideo problem? which graphics card should I buy?

I used to use a computer with this card.  Sometimes some distros don't do xv by 
default with it,
I'm not sure why.  Right now that machine's got Xv on Mandrake 9.0 (Some older 
XFree version).  
It should work out of the box.  When it runs, it's  a decent card. It does 
video fairly well. 
Not comparable to an Nvidia or Ati.. But definitely not worth replacing if 
you're only watching
video.   I've forgotten the xorg.conf settings, but compare your xorg.conf to 
others via google.

[mythtv-users] Zap2it and Air2pc issues

[Neil]

Hey guys, 

I need some help. Previously using the cvs as of last week, I used OTA 
information for the EPG. It was working fine but not all channels do have 
this information. So I chose zap2it and hoping it would solve my program 
information issues. It actually did. But unfortunately, I'm not able to see 
any more programs when I select WatchTV. Btw, this happens equally both on 
.cvs version and .17 release version. 

So here are the different steps I made and hoping that you might be able to 
tell me where I goofed up. 

1. killed all mythbackend
2. reran setup
3. Answered Yes to remove channels during the prompt
4. Answer No to not remove the air2pc card during the prompt
5. I went to number 3 I guess and recreated a video source named OTAHDTV
6. I supplied my zap2it username and password
7. I pressed Retrieve listing buttons then something below got populated
8. I went back one screen and went to number which i guess is Video inputs
9. I selected OTAHDTV
10. I put 11_2 in the start channel coz that's how it saw in the channel 
table in mysql after doing it more than 3 times
11. Closed setup and ran mythfilldatabase 

Started mythbackend and this is what I'm getting now: 

Starting up as the master server.

Re: [mythtv-users] ripping dvd questions

[Berend van Wachem]

Hi Steve,
Did you press the 0 key in the Rip menu?
Mythdvd will rip to vob first (and stop here if you have quality 
excellent). If you have specified the quality to be good, it will call 
transcode to do the .vob - .avi with xvid or divx.

This last step requires that you have transcode and dependencies 
installed; which I found to be one of the more difficult parts to get 
working in the mythdvd. (I'm doing everything from skratch, Slackware 10)

Good luck,
Berend.
I just installed mythtv from KnoppMyth R4v5, and it went okay. The only 
reason I'm installing is to rip DVDs. However I'm having problems.

I got the mtd daemon started okay. When I go through the menu, I get 
into the 'import DVD' icon, and it just says 'No jobs. Checking and/or 
waiting for DVD'. I have a DVD mounted correctly -- it shows the volume 
label and everything. What gives?

Then I was reading some of the mailing list archives, and it seems that 
the DVD ripping just does a 'vob copy' -- I was hoping for a whole 
transcoding into a single mpeg or avi file. When/if it does start 
working, what will I get?

[mythtv-users] Sound after changing channel

[Berend van Wachem]

I'm still struggling with the sound. I've now setup alsa in mythtv and 
am using ALSA:front and default mixer, which does seem to improve the 
reliability of the sound. However, when I change the channel, the sound 
often doesn't work anymore. I need to go back into the Mythtv menu, and 
say Watch TV again to make it work.

The frontend gives me the message/warning(?),
Codec already open, closing first
and then the sound becomes really bad.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Berend.

 Maybe search the mailing list, or the web, or just about anywhere before

 run with --debug, it'll print out the list of commands that it uses.
 Run those commands (likely in separate terminal windows), watch the output.

When one does that one gets something like this:
---sample
system call:
mkdir -m 0755 /tmp/fifodir_18021/

forking:
nice -n 19 mythtranscode --showprogress -p autodetect -c 1061 -s 
2005-02-11-07-30-00 -f /tmp/fifodir_18021/ --honorcutlist 21
-end-sample

For us newbies out here, (sorry only been running linux 5 years) just
what do you mean by forking: and how would that command sequence be issued
by hand?  Howbout printing the exact sequence rather than the concept?

The second command never returns, so one never gets to issue the third one.

While transcoding to AFS, (and several other formats)
I see similar problems as toad, where when running without --debug it 
hangs forever, aggressively gobbling memory and swap until all swap is 
exhausted, at which point the system is on its knees and whimpering.
At no point does it update its frame pointer display while this is happening
and i've never been successful with this version of completing any
transcoding except to vcd.

If I kill it before it gets to that state, the portion transcoded does play
in mplayer.

Pardon the list/offlist reply, I'm not sure I know where you would
rather see this.

Might I suggest you add a --version argument?





 addendum to previous answers -- if you're using ffmpeg, and you get
 errors when running by hand, please email them to me (off list).  I want
 to add smart error-detection to the ffmpeg code like I have for
 transcode, but haven't run across any ffmpeg errors of my own yet.

[mythtv-users] Unichrome video out probs

[Piers Kittel]

Hello all,
I have the EPIA MII 12000 and am using Debian Unstable, using mythtv via 
the PVR350 output which is reasonably OK but playing back DVD and video 
via the TV out of the motherboard.  Have installed the unichrome drivers 
following the instructions found here 
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~glaweh/debian/ and while main and X 
startup seems to work, there's 2 main problems:

1) Video playback from hard drive/through the network is very jittery
2) DVD playback slightly jittery and some discs ghosts badly
3) WHen using mplayer, the *whole* screen inverts and stays inverted 
even when exiting mplayer and only way to reset it is to restart X 
(although xine plays back the video fine but it's quite jittery)
4) The screen occasionally inverts even when not using mplayer and only 
restarting X will fix the problems

Screenshots include:

[mythtv-users] Update on using epia m10000 for a frontend

[Adam Felson]

The m1 is fast enough not to need the hardware mpeg-2 decoder.
Xorg's cvs version has a via driver with XVideo support that works
perfectly with mythtv.  Xine and mythtv never miss a frame at 640x480
resolution.

For us newbies out here, (sorry only been running linux 5 years) just
what do you mean by forking: and how would that command sequence be issued
by hand?  Howbout printing the exact sequence rather than the concept?
That is the sequence.  As you would know if you actually searched the 
mailing list before asking the question, you are supposed to run each of 
those commands, in that order, in SEPARATE terminal windows (they 
interact with each other -- especially the forking ones)..  meaning, 
start one, then open a new terminal, then start the next, etc., etc.

While transcoding to AFS, (and several other formats)
I see similar problems as toad, where when running without --debug it 
hangs forever, aggressively gobbling memory and swap until all swap is 
exhausted, at which point the system is on its knees and whimpering.
At no point does it update its frame pointer display while this is happening
and i've never been successful with this version of completing any
transcoding except to vcd.
Are you running gentoo?  (if so, I question your decision as a newbie to 
do so -- it's hard enough for experienced users to debug with it)  If 
you are, there is a known issue with gentoo not compiling in enough 
things for ffmpeg -- toad-six and d-side have both been unable to get it 
to work, either.

the memory-gobbling thing means that something is reading from one of 
the mythtranscode fifo's but not the other.  Which would make sense if 
ffmpeg is able to encode the audio but barfs on the video (leaving 
mythtranscode to buffer the video into RAM until something reads from 
that fifo).

Pardon the list/offlist reply, I'm not sure I know where you would
rather see this.
no biggie.  it all gets filed into the same mailbox.
Might I suggest you add a --version argument?
I'll look into it.  I don't actually version nuvexport, so adding date 
timestamps will mean I need fix my packaging script to know where to 
look/change within the file itself.

Re: [mythtv-users] Frontend IR Receivers/Remotes

[Josh Burks]

On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 12:49:15 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 At this point I am not sure what I am going to get for this frontend. I may
 build an IR receiver or look for another solution. If anyone has any
 suggestions I would be more than willing to try them. This by far has to be 
 the
 most frustrating part of setting up my frontend system.

Why not try an IR wireless keyboard, like so:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=23-107-114DEPA=0

Couple that with an IR learning remote like so:
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLGcategory%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F007%5F000%5F000product%5Fid=15%2D2116

Train the remote using the IR keyboard, and use the receiver from the
keyboard as the receiver for the remote.

I have that remote and it learns codes well (I have consolidated 4
remotes down to 1, and I have every function I need).

HTH,

[mythtv-users] Air2pc or pcHDTV3000 best for multipath?

[Andrew Gallatin]

I've been lurking, reading the archives for a month or two now, and
I'm finally ready to start building my HD Myth box.  Right now, I am
attempting to choose the HD tuner card I will use.

My current setup is a Zenith c32v37 HDTV with an integrated ATSC (and
QAM) tuner.  I just put a ChannelMaster 4228 in the attic, and my OTA
reception is now pretty good but I have large signal fluctuations on
some stations at times.  The signal meter seems to jump from 90% to
30% and back in a few seconds on the problem station.

I think this is a classic symptom of multipath,  and I've heard that
the tuner you are using can really make a large difference in working
around multipath to give you a stable signal.  Since the Zenith is
old (label on the back says it was made in fall 2003),  I'm hoping that
the tuner in one of the HDTV tuner cards might be better.  

In other threads, I've heard things like the air2pc pulled in stations
that the pcHDTV-3000 did not.  But were those weak signals stable?
Which does better for reasonably strong stations with multipath?  
How about the DVICO cards?

Another newbie question is: Do all the HDTV tuner cards dump a full
mpeg2 stream (including audio), or do some of them require a connection
to a sound card to capture audio?

Thank you!

[mythtv-users] Re: Modeline question (NOT which modeline should I use...)

[Robin Smith]

Aside my from my main question above (about using a different PC to do
the PoweStrip thing).

What is the relationship between modelines? I have found a 720x480
modeline that looks awesome (other than the virtual desktop thing,
which I can manually change with xrandr).

Is there a way to interpret the specs of one modeline into good specs
for a different (larger res) modeline.

The one that works (from Linux HTPC How-To) is:
ModeLine NTSC-DVD-60p 26.964 720 760 816 856 480 482 488 525 
from the DTV-PCTweakedModes section

Can I use this to decipher an appropriate modeline for a 960x540
resolution for a little more real estate? Via S-Video I am running at
1024x768 (stretched by my Panny) and things are a hair small, so I
reckon 960x540 would be sweet, and my TV can do 1080i modes, so the
540p in theory should be do-able.

Thanks

Re: [mythtv-users] Sound after changing channel

[Berend van Wachem]

Interesting, I have exactly the opposite problem. When the tuner is
first activated, there is no sound (really bad for recordings!!) but
works just fine after a channel change. I don't get any error message
though...
What do you have for your asound.conf/.asoundrc?
I guess you mean the file that's called asound.state here, located in 
the /etc directory that alsa uses when to start up. I've just used the 
one created by the alsa-utils, quite standard,

Please let me know if you have any comments on it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Frontend IR Receivers/Remotes

[mythtv]

Yes, I agree this is a great tip. I think I will go that route :) Thank 
you very much.

Matt
Why not try an IR wireless keyboard, like so:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=23-107-114DEPA=0 

Couple that with an IR learning remote like so:
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLGcategory%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F007%5F000%5F000product%5Fid=15%2D2116 

Train the remote using the IR keyboard, and use the receiver from the
keyboard as the receiver for the remote.
I have that remote and it learns codes well (I have consolidated 4
remotes down to 1, and I have every function I need).
HTH,

[mythtv-users] 0.17 upgrade - backend crashes

[Brad Benson]

I upgraded from 0.16 to 0.17 late Thursday night/early Friday morning.
 Ever since then I've been seeing some strange behavior from the box. 
Firstly, as soon as I fire up the backend it spawns a mythcommflag
process.  This seems normal to me except that mythcommflag immediately
pegs my processor at 100% while with 0.16 it seemed to hover around
60-70%.  The bigger problem with mythcommflag is that it seems to
continually spawn new processes until there are at least 5 or 6 of
them running.  Even with the processes niced to -17 it still makes the
box very sluggish and the load average goes through the roof (10). 
In looking in the backend log it seems that the system is completing
commercial flagging for a particular show and then starting to flag it
again.  I'm not sure why it's doing this or why that would result in
multiple instances of mythcommflag instead of one ending and then
another one starting.

Eventually the backend dies with the following message in the log file:

Waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting a
gain...

This message is repeated several times in the log and the backend is
dead.  When I try to restart the backend from the command line it
returns me to a prompt with no output to the console or the log file
and the backend never starts.  I have to do a hard reboot of the box
in order to get the backend started again.

FYI, I'm running FC1 with kernel version
2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at and everything has been working great
on 0.16 for months.  The only thing that I changed was to upgrade to
0.17.  I did set -march=athlon for mythtv and all modules when I
compiled since I'm running an Athlon 1600+ and I thought I could
squeeze a little extra speed out of the code.  I'm going to try
recompiling with the default -march=pentiumpro just to see what
happens, but I doubt that's going to fix the problem.

If you need more info let me know and I can post logs, dmesg, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [mythtv-users] Sound Problem etc. in 0.17.

[Magnus Sandin]

I have solved two of four problems, but are still struggling with 
lockups after I changed motherboards :-( And the fact that the sound 
does not work after upgrading to MythTV 0.17.

Is there anyone that may have any clue why the sound is not working in 
version 0.17 but worked perfectly in 0.16?
One major difference is that I compiled 0.17 from source but installed 
the AtRPMs for 0.16.

If I try to play a divx file or the ring buffer in mplayer the sound 
works just great...
I can see that the /dev/dsp device is used by mythfrontend when watching 
LiveTV.

I'm using Fedora Core 1 with kernel 2.4.29 wich I have built from source.

Hello!
I used 0.16 without to many problems. I upgraded to 0.17 today, but 
after the upgrade I have no sound when watching LiveTV or Recordings. 
If I mount the file system where the ring buffer is located on another 
machine, I can hear the sound which tells me that it's not a problem 
when encoding the stream.

If I run mplayer on the machine the sound works great.
My second problem is that mythfilldatabase gives me the following error:

My Third problem is that mythfrontend is not controllable from the IR 
remote anymore. I've seen that other people have the same problem when 
upgrading to 0.17.

My fourth problem is that recently MythTV (ivtv or the machine itself) 
got very instable. I can record a program and watch divx and MPEG-2 
with mplayer without any problems, however when watching and/or 
pausing liveTV the machine can freeze without reason.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Re: [mythtv-users] SA 3250HD firewire issues

[Brad House]

ok, I've got it working, but appears to be extremely unreliable
in a few ways ... none of which I believe are the fault of
linux's 1394 implementation or MythTV.  Some channels won't
come over firewire at all [HBO HD for example], while others
do [Showtime HD/ESPN HD/NBCHD for example].  I assume this is due to
DRM/encryption.  Also, sometimes, when flipping stations,
video appears to stop being broadcast ... sometimes it
will start working again by restarting mythfrontend,
other times it requires you to unplug the firewire cable,
and replug it back in...
Wish that PCHDTV 3000 card supported component or DVI/HDMI
input ... that would solve a lot of issues :/

And I'm using the ivtvdev_drv to display X (mythtv) on my TV, I have

I'm using gentoo/amd64 and the ebuild myth 0.17

Mythtv is setup, and can record programs, however if I try to watch
live tv, or a recorded program. The screen goes blank and the keyboard
is not responding.

The computer does not crash, because I can ssh and reboot it.

Can't help with the XVideo issue.  I have used the i810 Dell systems and
hated them.  For a replacement card you need to verify that you have or
don't have an AGP slot on the Dell.  Many of the Optiplex machines did
not have AGP.  As for what card any nVidia GeForce 4 or higher will do,
MX400, MX4000, fx5200, ..., with the appropriate bus of course.  A new
FX5200 with 128mb ram will run about 70 bucks US.

[mythtv-users] Mythmusic import problem

[Thom Sturgill]

Running 0.17 on FC3 - everything compiled fine - no errors.
Previously I had problems with mythmusic not looking up CDs. I deleted the
rpm for libcdaudio and compiled it from source in order to update it to
libcdaudio-0.99.12. Mythmusic now successfully retrieves the info from the
internet, but crashes mythfrontend after encoding the first track (which
IS written to disk, but IS NOT recorded in the database). The following
error is the last entry in the log for mythfrontend:

mythfrontend: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythmusic.so: undefined symbol: assert

Scanning for new music also fails to list the newly scanned track.

Any suggestions? I will probably dump the database table and try another
rescan to see if there is some corruption.

Remove Mythphone, as that is what is causing the

The Foxtel story according to my limited knowledge. The old analog signal
isnt too hard to decrypt as long as you have the right smartcard / hardware
decoder, however the new Foxtel Digital is a hell of a lot harder to read.
The problem with the analog signal is the fact that Foxtel in an attempt to
kick off people trying to hack into their systems have gotten very good at
figuring out who is using their hardware / smartcards and those who arent.
My friend who had to use a 3rd party decoder (after the foxtel box had an
unfortunate accident with a 5 year old child and softdrink) and kept having
problems with them disabling his smartcard. I'd assume the same thing would
keep happening.

Although while Im posting, any advice from anyone about a tv grabber that
works in West Aus? Ive tried a few and they havent done much. And my perl
scripting skills are a bit feeble so editing the file wasnt getting me very
far.


 It's entirely legal if you pay for the service and use a CAM module with
 the approriate smartcard.  That's what CAM modules are for - they take
 the smartcards normally found in your decoder box and descramble the
 channels it is authorised for.

 I think it can be done, but you need a beefy box to crack the foxtel
 encoding, is the story I was told.  I don't know much about it, I just
 wish Foxtel gave us a legal way to record the video in MythTV, without
 having to do IR blasters and the like.  I always miss the discovery
 channel shows.
 
 
 My understanding is that with Foxtel analogue, a DVB-S card with the
 right CAM module and the smartcard, Myth will quite happily work.  Last
 I heard, Foxtel digital uses a different encoding method for which an
 appropriate CAM module is not yet available.

 As for the orginal poster, I don't know what hardware is required to
 receive Foxtel analogue.  I have heard of people having success with it.

[mythtv-users] OSX Frontend- Fullscreen on Second Monitor?

[TJ]

Been playing around with the Xinerama settings trying to get Myth to 
display fullscreen on my second monitor but with no luck? Is there 
something obvious I'm missing here or is this not yet implemented?
