[mythtv-users] FCE Ultra LIRC patch
A little while back I saw a thread here that explained why I wasn't having much luck getting FCE Ultra to respond to irxevent: X events don't make it through to SDL applications. Fair enough. I ended up writing a quick patch to add LIRC support to fceu, and since emulation support is one of the reasons I gave MythTV a whirl, I thought I'd share the results with the list. Right now it's just a patch file, and it needs the version 0.98.12 fceu source package, but I'll try to set up a proper web page for it soon. Get the patch here: http://www.zole.org/software/fceu.patch.gz Feel free to let me know if there are bugs, if it just plain doesn't work for you, etc. This is the first C code I've written in almost two years, but it works for me.

[mythtv-users] Fw: LIRC is killing me!!!
I am pulling my hair out over lirc! This is my third mythTV install- you'd think I'd have it down by now, but for some reason I can't get it working. I've googled everything I can think of, but couldn't find my answer.My system:Athlon 2500+Biostar nvidia based mobo256mb ram160gb hard driveOnboard audio and videoFedora Core 3MythTV Suite 0.17X10 mp3anywhere RF remote- receiver plugs into serial port and is supported by lirc.My system crashed a week ago when I rebooted it without shutting down. I figured this was a good a time as any to do a fresh install and upgrade to FC3 from FC1. I formated the hard drive and did a totally clean install. None of my hardware has changed, and was working perfectly under mythTV 0.16 and FC1.I have followed Jarod's install guide to the letter, but I can't get past the LIRC setup. I downloaded and installed the packages via apt-get, and lircd seems to be running fine. When I run IRW or mode2, I don't get any output, though. The programs run fine, waiting at a blank prompt until I hit ^c, but there is no response from the remote. I have several of these remotes and have tried all of them with fresh batteries, but no output.I've attached all the information I can think of that might be helpful, including the directory of my /dev folder, my modprobe.conf file, and output from lsmod and dmesg. If there is anything else that might be helpful, let me know.I'm a relative linux newbie, but have a good many hours under my belt doing these mythTV installs.

Don't know what ramifications it may have in the future, but I went to Mplayer's web site and downloaded/installed from there. I also had to install mplayer fonts and mencoder from this location.

I am following Jarod´s how-to and somehow after the last reboot, lirc stopped
working. It was working fine before the last reboot.
ANY OTHER IDEAS? COULD IT BE THAT THE PERMISSIONS ON THE DEVICE ARE NOT SET

ARE THE PERMISSIONS CORRECT?
I manually started lircd

and I get the following in the log file when I run MythFrontEnd

Re: [mythtv-users] Pundit-R sound (issues with FF/RW) what versions do people use?
At 06:00 PM 03/29/2005, you wrote: Hi Jason, What settings do you use in mythfrontend? Can you FF/RW multiple times without issues? ALSA: I can FF fine but when resuming playback the video stays in FF and the audio is reduced to a quiet crackling noise (8/10 times). I also get a load of 'WriteAudio: buffer underrun' messages on console. I have tried the aggressive buffering option. Gra. I haven't had any problems rewinding or fast forwarding repeatedly. I'd definitely upgrade to 1.0.8 if possible. I think the buffer underruns are the result of the older versions. I use KDE, so I've used Kmix to setup the audio options. I'm using a pvr-350 with its audio patched to the line-in of my pundit's audio. So I had to make sure to enable the line-in, and the Master Volume in Kmix. In Mythtv, I'm using either /dev/dsp or /dev/adsp without much difference between them. I run mythtv as a regular user, so I had to change permissions on /dev/adsp for myth to use it properly.

The original Air2PC was reputed to have a better tuner, and handle multipath and weak signals better. The new version is supposed to have a 5th generation tuner, and presumably will be even better yet. I'm not sure how much difference that makes unless you are in an area with a marginal OTA signal. The HD-3000 also has a standard NTSC framegrabber allowing capture of regular TV signals.

I'm only going to use the OTA functionality myself. The cable company in my neck of the woods is Adelphia, and quite frankly, they're evil.

Re: [mythtv-users] Need Help with FC3 pcHDTV HD-3000 Install
The eeprom unknown symbols are possibly related to an 'alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv' in the modprobe.conf. The ivtv tveeprom kernel object doesn't know about the hd3000, but the hd3000 tveeprom should work for both the ivtv and hd3000. Comment that line out and it should not complain. I don't know about the other cx8800 unknown symbols. I suspect you have some sort of old cx8800.ko lying around. I'm not exactly sure where the cvs drivers install to but the pchdtv 2.0 drivers install to /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/v4l2/cx8800.ko (or whichever kernel you are using), but I suspect a similar location for the cvs drivers. I found an old one in lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx8800.ko Removing it is a good idea (or at least moving it to a backup location just to be sure). When I load the hd3000 dvb driver it is 'modprobe cx88-dvb'.

Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV-3000 installation questions for Fedora Core 3
The 2.0 drivers from pchdtv.com worked fine for me as far as building and compiling, at least on my fc3 setup. The INSTALL file under the doc subfolder says it all pretty much, except for 'make udev' actually doing nothing for me, which is why i manually copied the rules and permissions over. After a reboot, this works great and 'modprobe cx88-dvb' loads the driver.

Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC compiled in by default?
Odd, because mine does not have a checkbox for that. I see the screen that has the PVR350 checkbox (says use PVR350 for TV output, the title of the screen is something like "Hardware decoder settings"), but there's nothing in there for XvMC. If I do an apt-get install of either mythtv or mythtv-suite (after doing apt-get update to make sure it's looking for new packages), it says I already have the newest version installed. Am I missing something here? Is there something I need to enable for my graphics card? It's a GeForce4 MX440, which I understood supported it.

[mythtv-users] Parental control settings for videos getting dumped
Hi there I hope somebody can shed some light on how the parental controls are supposed to work. I have set my video files up a couple times now and and all is well accept for if my frontend reboots it dumps all the settings on the individual files. Is this supposed to happen, in as the level is only stored on the frontend or can this be set so it's setting to the backend and all frontend instances will see the same security settings? I also noticed that mythweb video file filtering dosn't seem to respect parental control settings but then it maybe related the above issue... Is this just a config thing that I'm missing somwhere?

[mythtv-users] Can't see slave card in master
Title: Can't see slave card in master Hi I have an xbox frontend and a master backend with two tuner cards working just fine. Last night, I added a Slave Backend with another card in it – but I can’t see the third card from the Master Backend. The card in the slave is working fine – I have set it up in mythtvsetup, and tuned all the channels and can watch liveTV with it – it connects to the Master Backend no problems, and the Master Backend accepts the connection. I thought I might need to add the third card into the Master Backend as another Card using mythtvsetup – but only the normal options appear – nothing to do with adding a slave card. Any advice on how I can get the third card to be recognised in the Master Backend?

[mythtv-users] ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
Hey all, I've been lurking here for a while, and just set up myth for the first time this weekend. I ran into a few problems that I was able to overcome, but I'm stuck now with this one thing. I have a laptop (P4 2Ghz) that I wanted to use as a frontend. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to play any video, I just get a blue screen. When I ran myth and set the environment variable to disable xv, it "worked" but the picture was real sloppy. Is there a possibility that my ATI Mobility graphics card simply doesn't support it, or have I installed it wrong? I'm running Fedora 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. oh - I tried installing the gatos drivers, but now X won't come up at all. I'm going to try and re-install X later today. I'm not sure if that means the drivers simply aren't compatible, or if I just did it wrong. thanks a lot. Matt __Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] DVD Authoring and MythTV Archive howto (writing one...)

I was actually originally trying to use either nuvexport or the script that came with mythtvburn to attempt to cut commercials followed by burn, and ran into issues. Both of these used avidemux2, and loaded my commercials cutlist out of mysql, but neither would listen to it. They both would work until the first commercial break and then they would just continue adding on that part each time. So I would only have the portion of the show up until the first commercial break looped over and over again. When you use avidemux2, do you provide the cutlist right from the mythconverg sql table then and it works fine for you?

[mythtv-users] Re: Need Help with FC3 pcHDTV HD-3000 Install
The best post I've found so far is here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/118579?search_string=3000;#118579 It has specific instructions for setting up modprobe.conf, and for making sure that the drivers are loaded in order. The initial load commands go into /etc/ rc.d/rc.local. This got me past the Fatal Error messages when I run # modprobe cx8800. /dev/video32 is now available and mythtvsetup recognizes it. Beyond that I haven't been able to tune any channels over my HD-3000, and my PVR-250 seems to be stuck on one channel with the right third of the image cutoff. If you have any luck, let me know. --Ken Also, try looking through [EMAIL PROTECTED] 's postings on the archive site. Gregg's been trying to work through the HD-3000 install for most of the month.

[mythtv-users] MythTV Overscanning Screen?
I'm running a Fedora Core 3, ATrpms, Jarod-instructed MythTV setup (0.17),
and I'm having problems with the image overscanning my display. Watching
TV looks fine (though it's hard to tell), but the Xwindows desktop (and
MythTV as a result) seems too big for the display (ie. there's stuff beyond
the visible edge of the screen that I need to see, like "Next" and "Finish"
buttons in the MythTV setup (I got it working despite that, but I'd like to
get that part tweaked right).
I've got a Hauppage PVR-350, btw.

RE: [mythtv-users] MYthTV replacement for Intercom?
> I know it's crazy sounding, but can > mythphone call other mythphones in the same house? This works fine. Easiest way is to make each register separately to something like fwd with different port numbers (SIP and audio/video) and setup your router/firewall to forward the ports appropriately. That way, they are all also able to make external calls too. If you tick the "autoanswer" option, they will auto-answer any call from a person in the directory. This is not what I call "secure" but is a start. Paul ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

PS Mode is for recording only the Program Stream portion of the broadcast. And TS mode is for recording the whole thing.

Re: [mythtv-users] Where to (really) buy an Air2PC -or- should I get a HD-3000?
I've had a Air2PC on backorder from cyberestore for a while now, and just checked on the status to see that it's delayed until May or June. Not only that, but it will use a new chipset that probably won't be supported initially. Don't worry about the driver. Dopester should get one from the mfg before cyberestore ships them out, and should have an updated driver ready in time for everyone to use with their new cards. Other than cyberestore and the mythtv store listed on froogle, is there anywhere to actually get these cards? A lot of people on this list seem to have them, yet nowhere on the internet seems to have them in stock. Nowhere has them in stock, the manufacturer couldn't keep up with the demand. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Strange audio
Title: Strange audio Hi, I have been transcoding from RTJPEG nuv to SCVD using nuvexport (ffmpeg) but the audio sounds a little strange. A bit difficult to describe, but it sounds like someone has been messing with the soundtrack, like it's got some strange effect added, kinda like a changing frequency shift in the background noise or recorded in a small space. It's listenable but "strange". Sorry, it's really hard to describe. :( I'm sampling the sound at 44.1 Khz in the original recording, so should be OK for the transcode. Anybody got any ideas?

[mythtv-users] MYthTV replacement for Intercom?
I know it's crazy sounding, but can mythphone call other mythphones in the same house? I have an old NuTone intercom that I'm ripping out, and was thinking that rather than patching all the station holes, I could put a small PC in them and an LCD panel over the hole and have myth tv frontends in every room. Now if mythphone could somehow call another frontend locally, I'd be quite happy... Should I just get out the drywall and spackling compound?

[mythtv-users] Any limit on number of AIR2PC cards per system?
I'm building a box in which I intend to install three AIR2PC cards. I asked earlier in a posting with some other questions if there were any limits on how many AIR2PC cards would work in a system, but having received no response to that aspect of the posting thought I would try one more time with a dedicated question. The HD3000 is documented as supporting at most 4 cards per system. I've seen no such information about the AIR2PC, and would like to verify that 3 cards will work in a system, in particular in PCI slots that have shared IRQs, before buying the motherboard.

At the start of playback there is usually some paging activity which explains the choppiness. This persists for no more than a couple seconds. With 0.17, I occasionally get a slight video stutter during normal playback. It could be I broke something though during the upgrade. Basically I think an xbox makes a great SD only playback machine.

Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV-3000 installation questions for Fedora Core 3
if you place the .rules and .permissions files within the udev subdirectory in the 2.0 pchdtv driver in the /etc/udev/rules.d and /etc/udev/permissions.d this should automatically setup the correct devices for you. for me with the 2.0 driver, i think i get the hd3000 as /dev/video1 when i modprobe cx88-atsc. this may be because i have a pvr250 as /dev/video0. -Adam On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 13:08:40 -0800, Villalovos, John L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > SacTwoThirtyEight wrote: > > I then try and run the 'dtvsignal /dev/video0 xx' or 'dtvsignal > > /dev/video4linux xx' (where xx is a frequency assignment for dtv > > stations in my area - I do not know which to link to /dev/dtv ).

There's a guy selling some Air2PC cards on ebay for cheap, but he says it's an older version that doesn't work with Linux. I've finally convinced myself to blow a wad of cash on a new mythtv box with enough oomph for HDTV, yet the lack of a capture card hurts. All I care about is QAM decoding. I don't do anything OTA, nor will I since I live in an apartment and can't put up a gargantuan antenna. Plus, my cable company is nice enough to provide me with unencrypted local channels in HD, so why make things more complicated? I have read that the Air2PC card is "better" in the QAM department. If I get impatient and go for a HD-3000, would I be missing anything? Also, would either of these cards be able to capture non-HD digital cable, assuming it's unencrypted QAM? -- Seth Heckard / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Most of the popular new PVR cards sold for Windows XP MC are based on Connexant's "Blackbird" design, which hasn't had drivers for Linux or Myth. We have been working on these drivers and released an alpha version at http://plutohome.com. Pluto even has a self-booting kick-start CD that will automatically install & configure everything for you, including a ready-to-go Myth system. It's the fastest and easiest way to get a MythTV PVR up and running, and also installs Xine, Asterisk and our own software to give you the most advanced media & entertainment, home automation, security, telecom & computing system, controllable with your Symbian Bluetooth mobile phone, as well as PDA's and Webpads. We're working hard to harden the drivers as quickly as possible and would like as much feedback as possible.

Do you just transcode as a job right from myth to 352x480, or do you have a process you follow after your recordings are all done? If you search the list, you'll find previous posts on what I've done. Basically, if there aren't any A/V sync glitches in the capture (e.g. capturing from tape), I use avidemux2 directly. Basically: - Capture at 640x480, 5Mbps or so - Edit commercials from within avidemux - Choose HQ3D denoise, 1/2 D1 resolution, 2-pass transcoding of video (roughly 3-4 hours/hour show on 2.4GHz machine) - Remux .m2v audio - qdvdauthor for fancy menus - dvdauthor to master - mkisofs to image - growisofs to burn If the sync is broken, there's a workaround. Basically, it involves using 'mencoder' to encapsulate the MPEG2 stream into an .avi. Then use "rebuild b-frames" from within avidemux to resync A/V as an "AVI." Then transcode as normal. Avidemux can't deal with changing A/V sync within a capture. -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Hey all: Need some advice, not sure if all the symptoms are related or not: HW Background: XP2200, asus nforce2 MB, GF4 MX440/7167 Driver, RHFC3/KDE, 2.6.10 atrpms kernel. Setup Background: -XvMC: Not Used but compiled in, but same symptoms with/without. -Lirc: Compiled in and used -DVB: Not used, not compiled in -Deinterlace: Not used, but same symptoms with/without. -1x PVR-250 -> MPEG2, 2x bt878 -> MPEG4: same results with both compressed filetypes -Same symptoms with ATRPMS mythtv-suite and with mythtv CVS from last night. Symptoms: 1. When I skip forward, the playback hangs for 1-2 seconds and pixellates badly before continuing playback. 2. When any of the on screen display windows come up on the screen, they flicker badly when they are fading away (ie: show title bar, position indicator, etc) 3. Occasionally (1 out of 3 times or so) the playback indicator will say something like: (0:05 of 250:00:00) even though it is an hour show. When I skip around a bit this goes away. 4. Commercial flagging is not working correctly. I see that the mythcommflag thread fires up and is working (taking like 25% processor time), but I haven't yet found a recording that has the flagging performed on it. (when I hit skip, it says "Not Flagged") 5. When I try to jump forward, playback hangs for ~20 seconds, then finally goes to the right position, pixellates for 5 seconds, then plays back. I used 0.16 with XvMC compiled in with a lot of success and none of these issues. How can I diagnose these problems?

[mythtv-users] Upgrade problems with mythfilldatabase
I finally took the plunge at the weekend and upgraded from 0.16 to 0.17, as well as finally getting the contexant based Nova-T DVB card working. It's *almost* working again - I've got to sort out the remote as it's still not working, but I think that's a kernel issue - the thing that's really got me stumped is the mythfilldatabase. When I run it, it seems to grab the data ok (I'm using tv_grab_uk_rt), and update the database (at least I think it is), but when it attempts to connect to the mythbackend, it says it cannot. Putting the backend into --verbose all does not seem to shed any light on it either. The error in the server log is 2005-03-29 21:29:31.462 unknown socket At the mythfilldatabase end it's Updated programs: 29 Unchanged programs: 7323 Adjusting program database end times... 0 replacements made.

RE: [mythtv-users] Anyone using Gentoo 2005.0 yet ?
Try this for size: echo "media-tv/mythtv ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords This enables mythtv 0.17, currently in the 'unstable' (new) section of gentoo portage You can then emerge as normal, emerge -av mythtv This might not work for you, but it works on my system, so correct me at will! Also useful: echo "www-apps/mythweb ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords echo "media-plugins/mythdvd" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords Etc.

The code I recently committed to CVS allows near real-time flagging for recording programs, not for LiveTV. It allows the commercial flagger to start flagging almost as soon as the recording starts and then the flagger runs at the recording's normal FPS so that it stays just behind the recorder and finishes flagging within a short while after the recording finishes. I've been running this code on my production Myth setup (a P3-700 master backend with 3 M179 cards) for a couple weeks now and don't know of any issues with it currently. It is bleeding edge, but worst case is that you have to reflag a show if something messes up. Things appear to be working well for me with it though. -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
