Re: [mythtv-users] Re: PVR-250 and bttv card both think they are /dev/video0
Thank you. I've actually looked over that page before in my search to figure out what's going wrong. I will have to sit down and try and understand it more. I had been following Jarod's guide and he covers ivtv and bttv cards in the same system, but doesn't mention much more than adding the proper line to modules.conf which is supposed to make the bttv card come up as /dev/video1. I guess I have some homework to do know to understand udev a bit more.

RE: [mythtv-users] BT878 based DVB-T Cards
are the cx23883 cards easier to get working than the bt878 cards? I have a Nebula that I've still not been able to get working in linux (could be that i really don't have too much idea what i;m doing in linux yet though) I use a Nebula without any problem. It is very sensitive to different kernel versions though. I use FC2 and have downloaded the 2.6.6 kernel. It took a lot of trial and error on the kernel version, but works without too much effort once you get this right. did you download and compile the kernel yourself or get an rpm? the whole recompiling kernel thing gets me nervous.

Re: [mythtv-users] Firewire (D-VHS) Directtv
Robert Denier wrote: I have absolutely no idea if its related to this discussion or even useful, but I have a directtv platinum receiver by hughes? somewhere that worked fine the last time I had directtv. The key point being is it had a firewire port and a connection for a special expensive vcr. I have the same unit (err...my parents have it). Its actually a D-VHS port, which according to my googling is actually nicknamed Brainded Firewire -- aparently basterdised just enough to be incompatabile with anything running the standard firewire protocalls. I've seen at least one other person post questions about using this port with MythTV recently, but haven't seen any replies. I asked this question some months ago, and the reply I got was no, its not possible to use it with Myth. As far as the reciever goes, it can be subscribed to DirectTV today; you just need a current' card. I personally like this box for Myth use, as it also has a serial port that works well with the sony.pl changechannel script, and it has both coaxial and optical digital audio out as well as composite and S-video outputs. In short, its got everything we need. Its only downside is the box doesn't remap local channels to their actual channel number (e.g, your local channel 13 shows up somewhere in the 900's or higher). In any case, I highly recommend that old Hughs Platinum reciever for Myth use. --Jim ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Mythmusic Gentoo e-build AAC
Hello Gentoo users Developoers: I just finished building a new MythTV system, based on the 0.17 myth release. When I watched the mythmusic emerge start to configure mythmusic, it printed some output that specified everything but AAC format was enabled. I looked through all the e-build scripts, but can't find where to enable AAC. It appears the scripts don't provide for that yet (no use flag or dependancy checking). I've looked at the dependancys for AAC and found the ebuilds are in the portage tree (and already installed on my optimized-for-myth gentoo system). Is there any way we can get AAC as an option for mythmusic under Gentoo? Perhaps an AAC use flag? I was about to open a bugs.gentoo.org bug for this, but thought I'd post here first. I don't know if the Gentoo myth ebuild maintainer(s) are on the list... Anyway, Thanks for all the hard work! (and if anyone has any suggestions as to how to tweak the ebuild to compile in support, I'm listening.

Re: [mythtv-users] VisionPlus DVB FC3
My question is that I have a digital capture card (VisionPlus DVB-T) that apparently works through linux. I thought I'd ask if anyone knows or can send me in the direction of a walkthrough that shows how to set the thing up to work with Myth and Fedora Core 3. The phrase 'just recompile your kernel' fills me with a cold dread matched only by the phrase 'your mother called, she wants to talk'. Why would you want to recompile your kernel? The FC3 kernels come with all the drivers for the VisionPlus cards - my box has two of them and is running a stock FC3 kernel. All you should need to do is add these three lines to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71 install bttv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bttv /sbin/modprobe dvb_bt8xx /sbin/modprobe dst You may also want to upgrade udev to the rawhide version so that it creates the DVB devices correctly. Otherwise you will probably have to make entries in /etc/udev/devices for them.

[mythtv-users] FC3 mythtv had no lirc IR remote control (solution)
Some days ago I said on this emaillist that with mythtv 0.17 update via apt-get the IR remote control via lircd did not work anymore (it did correctly on mythtv 0.16). I'm running FC3 updated to kernel 2.6.10-1.760_FC and using lirc-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at. AN IR test with the Hauppauge IR remote control with irw command on lircd worked fine. How did I solve this IR problem with myth-017 package? The IR remote control is working again and this is what I did: Downloaded the myth-0.17 tar ball. Used ./configure and compiled it (see the instructions how to compile in the mythtv-0.17/docs directory) it. The trick: enable (default it is commented out) lirc client support in the settings.pro: # Native lirc support CONFIG += using_lirc LIRC_LIBS = -llirc_client Made sure that /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so was pointing to liblirc_client.so.0 (it was not in my case) Made sure that /usr/local/include/lirc/lirc_client.h existed (it was not so I stole it from the lirc distribution tar ball from lirc.org). And started compilation with make ; make install (reminder now everything is in /usr/local !) You have now waiting time enough for half an hour to drink some beer Made sure /etc/init.d/mythbackend uses /usr/local/sbin/mythbackend (service mythbackend restart). Started mythfrontend and could use my Hauppauge IR remote again. My guess is that in the myth-suite apt-get package mythtv is not compiled with lircd enabled or the lirc_client share lib liblirc_client.so was not p[resent in /usr/lib so mythfrontend could not use /dev/lircd access. teus smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Same here in Brussels. Currently the only solution is to write your own tv_grab_xx script I guess. I think there was a tv_grab_be script doing this, getting it's info from different sites.

I have setup the ivtv file correctly as well as what i believed to be the config-x file but upon booting i recieve a failed to start x message which contains unable to open /dev/fb0 No such device. modprobe ivtv-fb returns fb0 before i started editing my config-x file but now segfaults Its strange because at a prompt if i just type in /dev/fb0 it gives a permission error not an error saying that it doesn't exist. I think this is what is giving me problems but i really don't know. I've included my config-x file that i'm using now but i have changed many things with this with no changes so i question its fault.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythmusic Gentoo e-build AAC
Yeah, I had the same problem, and I forgot to let the ebuild
maintainers know about it.
Find your mythmusic 0.17 ebuild and in the section that says:
src_compile() {
econf \
`use_enable X fftw` \
`use_enable opengl` \
`use_enable sdl`
add in `use_enable aac`
Don't forget to add the \ to the end of the sdl statement.
After I did that, AAC support was compiled. I have not tested it yet,
though. I'm still in the process of moving 12 gigs of music to my
mythbox.

find where to enable AAC. It appears the scripts don't provide for that
yet (no use flag or dependancy checking). I've looked at the
dependancys for AAC and found the ebuilds are in the portage tree (and
already installed on my optimized-for-myth gentoo system).
Is there any way we can get AAC as an option for mythmusic under

Anyway, Thanks for all the hard work!

To elaborate on Oliver's post, yes, you can tv_cat together two listings.

[mythtv-users] Remote frontend hiccups
I'm building a diskless (root nfs mounted) epia frontend and am having some performance issues. While playing dvds or recorded tv, it never uses more than 60% of the cpu, but I get audio underruns and video pauses especially the start of show. For the first five seconds, it'll hiccup every second or so and then settle down although there are still random hiccups about every 5 minutes. It looks like during those first few seconds there is network activity from the nfs server as well as the mythbackend. I have a network hub and suspect that replacing it with a buffering switch might fix the problem. Or perhaps move the software to a laptop drive instead of running from an nfs partition? Has anybody else seen such behavior with a remote frontend?

RE: [mythtv-users] How do you get SP/DIF output working on FC2 with 0.17??
Anyone have any ideas on this one? I am really stuck.
I need a bit of help. I recently upgraded to FC2 and
installed the new mythtv .17 from atrpms. Everything is
working fine except for one thing. I no longer get any output
from mythtv on my sp/dif output. I have a good .asoundrc
installed and it plays fine if I do something like 'mplayer
/dev/video0'. I used to have to put 'ALSA:default' in for the
audio device but this no longer works. Does anyone know how
to get myth to output to the alsa device again??
Thanks in advance,

[mythtv-users] Skip on nfs playback
Offhand, try mounting nfs with the tcp option - I have seen this with another media player I am tinkering with. I would be interested in your howto, as I would like to set up a diskless M1 frontend. Cheers, -Peter snip I'm building a diskless (root nfs mounted) epia frontend and am having some performance issues. While playing dvds or recorded tv, it never uses more than 60% of the cpu, but I get audio underruns and video pauses especially the start of show. For the first five seconds, it'll hiccup every second or so and then settle down although there are still random hiccups about every 5 minutes. It looks like during those first few seconds there is network activity from the nfs server as well as the mythbackend. I have a network hub and suspect that replacing it with a buffering switch might fix the problem. Or perhaps move the software to a laptop drive instead of running from an nfs partition?

Re: [mythtv-users] PS2 front end?
Well, yes and no. The biggest problem in trying to cool the XBox is that you have a limited amount of space. The first thing that I would normally do is try to put in a resistor or a potentometer to control the fan speeds, but because everything inside the XBox is so tightly packed together, there's no room, unless you mod the case. (While I'm game for some modding, I'm not much into modding the case.) At least with a PC case (unless you go with a super-small microATX), there's room for 120mm cans, quiet power supplies, etc. (incidentally, my MythTV machine, which is a frontend and backend also serves as a Samba server, so it's big, quiet, and looks pretty good). The rear exhaust fan is a noisy 60mm fan - some people have had success finding a quieter 60mm fan, and shaving off two of the side parts (where the screw holes are), and mounting that. However, even a quiet 60mm fan is a lot noisier than almost any 120mm fan you can find, plus a 120mm fan moves a lot more air at a slower speed. It is quite possible that they have addressed the noise issue with later XBoxes - I have a 1.0 model (which reminds me, I need to check my serial number and order the replacement power cord). In the 1.0 model, there is also a heatsink/fan on the GPU chip, which I replaced with a Zalman Northbridge heatsink (no fan). This quieted the unit down a bit, but the 60mm fan is still pretty noisy. If you're watching a show or playing a game, you don't notice it as much, but if you hit a quiet spot (say of a movie, or if you're leaving it running, but not doing anything with it), you'll hear it. -- Joe --- David Whyte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But remeber, the XBox is just another PC.

I thought I had sent my configuration to the mailing list earlier but I can't find it in the archives. So here is a summary. I run my svideo and audio signals over 10-BaseT. At each end I have a converter box I bought from svideo.com. It has svideo (for audio) RCA connectors. I believe the part number is 500017. For the infrared remote control I just used some old coax I had laying around and put connectors from Radio Shack on each end. The result is no noise at all from Myth system in the TV room.

Re: [mythtv-users] Dumb Question Regarding TV Capture and DirectTV
I've got the S-Video out to my pvr-250 with the audio as well. Works well and the quality is just fine. The cagle would work just as well without requirng the audio cable and leaving the better quality S-Video to the TV. The only catch might be the cable trying to use the tuner. I know ou can tell it to use the external tuner scipt and get by that. I have yet to hook up my serial cable to the low speed data port (now where did i leave that soldeing iron) So right now i have to setup my recordings in myth then set the satellite box to autotune.

There are a few problems related to udev that haven't yet been properly solved, but my remote is functioning just fine, using the ATrpms lirc packages and the ATrpms Myth packages. What are the udev problems? There are some race conditions. With prior non-udev systems, drivers were loaded when daemons started up and tried to access their associated device nodes. For example, when lircd starts up, it tries to access /dev/lirc. On a non-udev system (i.e., FC2), /dev/lirc was a symlink to /dev/lirc0. You have a modprobe.conf entry that says 'alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c', which since its the first and only line, is analogous to char-major-61-0, character device with major number 61, minor number 0, aka /dev/lirc0 (look at 'll /dev/lirc0' output). The alias line told the system that when accessing lirc0, we actually need lirc_i2c loaded, as lirc0 is an i2c-based IR receiver. All this falls down if the device node isn't already there. Since there's no device node to be accessed, the system doesn't recognize the correspondence between lirc0 and lirc_i2c, and the module doesn't get loaded, and lircd tanks. Similar thing goes for the ivtv driver and it not loading/mythbackend dying when loaded at boot time. I'm working on resolving this today.

Re: [mythtv-users] PS2 front end?
I got an xbox the day they came out as well, and noise isn't really an issue. Especially when you price point a pc with the capacity of the xbox and noise of the xbox :) The best thing that could happen to an xbox would be for someone to get it to boot off the network so you could remove the hard drive, do a net boot and put in a quieter fan and also convert to more convection cooling rather than forced air. I have a 1.1 xbox (just the system fan, no GPU fan) and it's definitely reasonably quiet. I have chipped a few mates 1.1 - 1.6 xboxes and they all seem to be as quiet. I've currently got another friends 1.0 xbox here and it's very noisy with those two fans. With regard to the netbooting issue - I would imagine you could probably use the Cromwell bios and boot off a CF disk, using an IDE-CF convertor? Not forgetting also that using 'hacked' bioses (possibly including Cromwell), the system fan can be throttled to 20% through software (including Linux as well I believe). I don't know if an unmodified retail xbox runs it at full speed, but if it does then it means peoples idea's of how noisy xboxes are could be flawed.

[mythtv-users] FireWire Motorolla 6200 Sweet Spot
Is there a kernel, libraw/1394 library that is a sweet spot for this box? I'm using last weeks cvs for just about everything myth related on Suse 9.2 with kernel 2.8.x. I have issues with channel changing - works randomly but often time i get an error that the capture device isn't working correctly (or allong those lines) - using 6200ch to change the channel. Firewire works great for my handheld DV cam so it may not be the drivers per say - just didn't know if there was any tweaking i could do to optimize myth for firewire to the 6200. Anyone know if its true you can just get an external firewire drive for the 6200 and record directly to that? The notes from motorolla make it sound that easy.. may be a good route for my 2nd box upstairs until i can run ethernet and another pc. thanks! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Based on list traffic, it is definitely not the 350 (at least if you want output on it). The 250 seems the most common card, and it is often a good idea to pick the most common card because it increases the probability that problems are fixed, and that if you have a problem, somebody else probably had it first and a solution was posted to it.

I've run composite video over RG6 quad sheild previously (currently component (HDTV) over 3 RG6 Quad Sheild) over a distance of about 25 feet. I am using the F connector to RCA adapters you can pick up at Radio Shack. I have had no picture quality issues as long as you have good connections. I run line level audio over RG6 as well. I would take a guess that your issue is one of the following bad crimps or sub-par cable. I've found that the picture quality is very dependant on how good you are at crimping cable, I picked up a few hundred Thomas Betts snap and seal connectors with related tools on Ebay and although they were pricey, I don't have any picture quality issues. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

There are a few problems related to udev that haven't yet been properly solved, but my remote is functioning just fine, using the ATrpms lirc packages and the ATrpms Myth packages. What are the udev problems? There are some race conditions. With prior non-udev systems, drivers were loaded when daemons started up and tried to access their associated device nodes. For example, when lircd starts up, it tries to access /dev/lirc. On a non-udev system (i.e., FC2), /dev/lirc was a symlink to /dev/lirc0. You have a modprobe.conf entry that says 'alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c', which since its the first and only line, is analogous to char-major-61-0, character device with major number 61, minor number 0, aka /dev/lirc0 (look at 'll /dev/lirc0' output). The alias line told the system that when accessing lirc0, we actually need lirc_i2c loaded, as lirc0 is an i2c-based IR receiver. All this falls down if the device node isn't already there. Since there's no device node to be accessed, the system doesn't recognize the correspondence between lirc0 and lirc_i2c, and the module doesn't get loaded, and lircd tanks. Similar thing goes for the ivtv driver and it not loading/mythbackend dying when loaded at boot time. Hmm, even on FC2 I hav lirc problems. Had to put modprobe lirc and service lircd restart in rc.local. I'm working on resolving this today. I've got some stuff from Harry O to play with, and a few ideas of my own, should hopefully have an optimal fix in place by end-of-day... Please post here or in your HowTo.

This is fairly off topic, please let me know if I should take it elsewhere. I'm setting up a mythtv system in my basement. I've got a server machine running 24/7 in a back room, about a 30' cable run distant from my TV/stereo. I'd like to be able to use that box as both front and backend, if at all possible.

I'll second svideo and audio over Cat5 cable(or any twisted pair really). I used to run a 30 foot or line of svideo over Cat5. I didn't buy any converters, I just got connectors and soldered it together. An svideo cable has two grounds, and two signals, put one ground and one signal in each twisted pair, you won't lose too much signal. That's the magic of twisted pair. At a later time I made a dual stereo mini extender for the 4 speaker surround sound. Again, putting one ground and one signal in each twisted pair. That worked fine as well never tried audio and video together in the same wire but it might work. -- Anthony Vito [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Front end machine 30' away from TV/stero?
I've got an old NVidia card (an Asus branded GForce2-MX400), and I've tried running the composite out from that card to the TV over a 30' coax cable with F-RCA converters on both ends -- under the assumption that the coax (RG6) cable would be better shielded than a standard RCA cable -- is this true? The resulting signal on the TV is very dirty, with distortion in the middle of the screen and bands that cycle top to bottom. Is there anything I can do (better cable, a signal amp, something else?) to get video from the server to the TV cleanly? Or am I stuck with needing a second computer for the frontend in the TV room? Based on your description of the dirty signal you're seeing on your TV it sounds very similar to the distortion I was getting at one point from a ground loop problem. My cable run was only about 6 feet, but the signal distortion was horrendous. It turned out that my backend had a three-prong grounded plug, but my tv and receiver both had two-prong ungrounded plugs. This was causing a ground loop when connecting the backend computer to the tv and stereo. I eventually solved this by picking up some 12-gauge copper wire from home depot and connecting the ground screws on the tv and stereo to the metal plate in the power outlet where the backend was plugged in. This brought the ground for all three devices into sync and removed the distortion I was seeing. Since plain copper wire is pretty cheap from home depot you may want to give this a try before changing out parts of your 30' run. If need be you can temporarily use some old speaker wire to try this out and see if it makes any difference before you go pick up new ground wire at home depot. I wouldn't leave that speaker wire in place for an extended period of time, but you should be able to use it to test.

The first and immediate issue I ran into was a necessity to change the video card in the BIOS from 32MB to 64MB. Linux wouldn't boot without it, it would lock trying to load the GUI. Switched to 64MB and it's happy as a clam now. Getting the video drivers to work was a bit tricky, because the apt-get install mythtv-suite took over with the nvidia drivers, but once I got that straightened out the video support has been fine. Sound works fine right out of the box, (other than the need in FC3 to un-mute/increase your volumes). I haven't got the optical output working yet, but I havne't been too concerned abou that yet - I'm much more interested in getting my PVR-500 working. :-) I'm happy to help if you bump into any other specific issues.

[mythtv-users] External receiver, kernel, and alsa questions
Hi List, I just upgraded from FC1 to FC3 using Jarod's guide as I switched to .17. Everything went relatively smoothly but I just have a few questions: 1) I have an external receiver so in mythtvsetup I set it to preset to channel 3. But, as far as I can tell mythtv isn't presetting to channel 3. To get around this, I have the following in my /etc/rc.local /usr/bin/mythbackend sleep 2 /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune.pl 3 If I don't do this then I get static because it seems like mythtv isn't presetting the channel. Has anyone run into this before? * Side note: I also have the problem people have been reporting about the video freezing when you enter live tv. I was also able to get around that as well by starting mythbackend in my /etc/rc.local 2) I discovered that Windows wireless Ethernet drivers (via ndiswrapper) don't work in 4K stacks. Will the various mythtv dependencies (ivtv, nvidia-graphics) work if I take the latest Fedora Core 3 kernel source and just rebuild it without 4K stacks? Will I be able to get updates from apt-get if I've rebuilt the kernel myself? 3) Headphone Jack Sense is always unmuted when I reboot, which gives me no sound. When I mute it with alsamixer then I'll get sound. To get this to sustain through reboots I've tried alsaconf restore (in Jarod's myth-load.sh) and I've tried explicitly putting amixer set 'Headphone Jack Sense',0 mute into the myth-load.sh script too. No dice. Has anyone run into this problem? I'm guessing some piece of software must be unmuting 'Headphone Jack Sense' behind the scenes. Thanks for any help, Dan. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

OK, I think I found the setting you referenced. It enables the PVR350's hardware decoder for output on to the TV. Still testing things using the computers graphics card so that does not work for now. Will keep that info though and enable it as soon as I hook this up to a TV. The sound problem is at issue right now. Still doing some reading and poking to figure that one out.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythmusic Gentoo e-build AAC
This fixed the mythmusic ebuild. Aparently there's a problem with the
faad2 as well (probably the distrabution rather than the ebuild) that's
cited in the README for mythmusic:
__NB__: As of March 5, 2004, you can build and install FAAD2 v2.0
final, but you must manually copy mp4ff_int_types.h from
faad2/common/mp4ff/
to your usr/local/include/ directory.
When I emerged mythmusic, I got a whole slew of errors complaining
about unknown types with reguard to aac, so I'm about to grab the
source for faad2 and copy the file over manually.

Yeah, I had the same problem, and I forgot to let the ebuild
maintainers know about it.
Find your mythmusic 0.17 ebuild and in the section that says:
src_compile() {
econf \
`use_enable X fftw` \
`use_enable opengl` \
`use_enable sdl`
add in `use_enable aac`
Don't forget to add the \ to the end of the sdl statement.
You should also modify the DEPEND section to make sure faad2 is built.
Here's a diff that should work (mythmusic-0.17-r1.ebuild goes in
/usr/local/portage/media-plugins/mythmusic):

Once that's done, "aac" needs to be among your USE flags. For FAAD2 2.0,
you also need to unpack the tarball and copy
faad2/common/mp4ff/mp4ff_int_types.h to /usr/include (the FAAD2 ebuild
should be fixed), or else the ebuild will fail.
