Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb Duplicates Deactivated Default Behavior

[Chris Petersen]

The CookieDomain docs say that it has to be a string starting with a
dot and containing at least one more internal dot.  Since I access
my myth machine as simply "boots", I wasn't sure what to use here.
Ahh, yeah, that might be an issue.  Though in this case, "boots" would 
be the subdomain and your computer would add whatever search domain it's 
configured for as the master domain.

I tried changing ServerName to boots.foo.local and setting
CookieDomain to .foo.local, but that didn't help.
remove the first dot -- it gets added as needed in the code.
I noticed that Debian's apache2 has very few modules enabled by
default.  I've got just these ones enabled:
  actions cgi php4 userdir usertrack
Am I missing something else crucial?
Nope, nothing special needed (that I can think of) other than php.

[mythtv-users] Re-Compile With Non-Default Options

[Michael Haan]

I'm not sure what the default gentoo e-builds for mytht include, but I
just dropped the dime on an HDTV and may want to include the firewire
support.  My best guess is that means a manual re/compile.  Is that
true?  How do I do that?

Good idea.  Which got me thinking that my main goal with the quiet
flag would be to allow nuvexport to run fully automated as a user job
from within myth.  Along those lines, what do you think about
overloading print to update the job queue status field in mysql if the
proc is run from the job queue?  This way we'll have normal output,
--quiet to hide the progress indicator, --very-quiet to hide
everything (for normal script usage) and --jobqueue (or whatever)
which would output errors and normal progress (starting encoder,
encode complete, etc) to stdout and the job queue status field, but
instead of a progress indicator on screen it would update the job
queue status field with the completion percentage every 5% (or
whatever).

I've been looking into overloading print just for the --quiet flag and
I've been having some problems.  My perl is a little rusty, but I
thought I'd throw this idea out there and see what people think of it
while I brush up on the skills I need to implement it.

If you mean Arizona, there is a special timezone file/rule for that area.
Make sure your timezone is set to "US/Arizona" and it will follow the

the system will never have to be tweaked.  Unless of course the

I have found in my set that raising the write internal buffering helps too.
I like to bump the standard write buffer to 8MB, and HD to 16MB, each
4x what the current code is at.  Seems to help reduce Buffer Overflows
when there are a lot of streams all writing to the same network nfs drive
(even for gigabit networks).  NFS is not real efficient at streaming large
volumes of data.

I presume you mean CRT projection TVs.  The question is, do the CRTs inside
these really have the ability to display 1080 lines?  In my own shopping
comparisons, I did not find the CRT projection TVs to produce as sharp
an image (even with the artificial sharpenings off, though I could not
do this in every case) as the 720 and 768 line microdisplay TVs.

However, there can be other reasons for this.  The direct CRT TVs, which
are pretty rare, like the fancy Sony XBR, really do have 1080 lines and
even more, and of course our computer monitors mostly have more as well.

Of course, people are buying microdisplays for other reasons -- size,
weight, contrast, stability, and maybe they really are giving up
resolution.   Based on what I see on the floors of TV stores, microdisplays,
though more expensive, seem to be dominating.

[mythtv-users] Lite-on keyboard multimedia keys -- here's how

[Brad Templeton]

I have the Lite-on IR keyboard I have been recommending in this list,
as many others do.  It has multimedia keys along the top.

Here is a set of xmodmap commands to define these keys.  You can
take this file and run xmodmap on it, or in some cases put in a ".Xmodmap"
file to make your server run it (You may have to put in a call
to xmodmap on this file in your X init scripts or Xsession init
script in KDE)


keycode 176 = bracketright
keycode 174 = bracketleft
!make this your favourite jump point, in my case recording playback
keycode 230 = F2
! mute
keycode 160 = backslash
! the 4 web keys
keycode 236 = F13
keycode 178 = F14
keycode 223 = F15
keycode 222 = F16
!
keycode 162 = p
keycode 164 = Escape
keycode 153 = Home
keycode 144 = End


You probably want to assign the "favourite" button and the 4 web
oriented keys to jump points or other fancy functions, so I have
put them to function keys in this example.  I plan to give them
some nice jump points and tape a label over the names found on
the keyboard.   You can also make shift and ctrl versions of these if
you like, see the xmodmap man page for details.

I have put commercial skip on the track left and right keys.

I would think a larger portion of HD TVs are 1080i native.  The older
generation of Rear Projection analog TVs were almost all 1080i native.
Mine can do both, but 720p is up/down (however you view it) scaled to 1080i.

I figured out how to solve this, and while the answer is likely
obvious to most people, I will describe what I did for the less linux
savvy folks like myself.

1) Booted off the rescue disc (FC2 install disc 1), and typed linux rescue
2) Chose to boot off cd-rom and pretty much selected all the defaults
when prompted
3) chroot .mnt/sysimagen at the first command prompt
4) this allowed me to use apt-get like normal, but for some reason the
exact command that Mark provided told me that there was no package
named  libselinux-devel so...
5) apt-get install libselinux=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it
6) apt-get install libselinux-devel=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it

Now my box is working, but a BIG QUESTION!!!

How do I make sure that apt never tries to upgrade this package again?
 It is a hassle to upgrade package by package instead of doing apt-get
dist-upgrade.  Then again, if that is going to break my system, that
is the biggest pain.  Does this mean that I have to upgrade to fc3
sooner than I was planning?

Anyways, hats off to Mark for leading me in the right direction. 
Sorry for posting this elsewhere and checking google, and not the
archives.  I thought I completely hosed my system, but hey, what fun
would myth be without the occasional moments of panic and then
discovery.

Re: [mythtv-users] Time change causes problems

[Brian Foddy]

If you mean Arizona, there is a special timezone file/rule for that area.
Make sure your timezone is set to "US/Arizona" and it will follow the
correct rules for the Arizona/Pheonix area.  There is also a special
exception for East Indiana I think.  If your timezone is set correctly,
the system will never have to be tweaked.  Unless of course the
QT error people have mentioned bites you...

You can find all the rules in /usr/share/zoneinfo
(may vary slightly by distro).

We should try to build a list of all the things that can go wrong in
making HD work smoothly.  There are many.

They include:


a) Right drivers for card with your kernel
b) Proper AGP bus speed and AGP interface driver in use
c) Proper user of openGL sync for retrace
d) Proper settings for deinterlace and, if used, xvmc
e) Proper sound settings and handling of 5.1 sound and multiple streams
f) Real time scheduling of playback thread
g) Making sure disk or network speed is adequate
h) Nothing else sucking up CPU on the machine

And of course having the right cards and memory itself.

HD programs are transmitted digital.   It would be (almost) impossible
to transmit them analog, and just make a lot more work for the
stations to boot.


However, my local NBC affiliate is definitely having a hard time dealing
with processing their NBC feed, which of course includes both HD programs
at 1080i and the regular SD programs.   They have some sort of switch
they have to throw at the station, it seems, and they often goof it
up.  I have no idea why it would be designed that way.  I've seen
HD shows displayed as SD converted to HD (thus double boxed) as they
always transmit 1080i even for SD programs.

The Oscars (on ABC) also goofed this, the first 30 seconds were in SD
and they threw a switch to change it to 720p HD.  This in spite of
the fact the prior program (Oscar carpet) was also HD!

I figured out how to solve this, and while the answer is likely
obvious to most people, I will describe what I did for the less linux
savvy folks like myself.

1) Booted off the rescue disc (FC2 install disc 1), and typed linux rescue
2) Chose to boot off cd-rom and pretty much selected all the defaults
when prompted
3) chroot .mnt/sysimagen at the first command prompt
4) this allowed me to use apt-get like normal, but for some reason the
exact command that Mark provided told me that there was no package
named  libselinux-devel so...
5) apt-get install libselinux=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it
6) apt-get install libselinux-devel=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it

Now my box is working, but a BIG QUESTION!!!

How do I make sure that apt never tries to upgrade this package again?
 It is a hassle to upgrade package by package instead of doing apt-get
dist-upgrade.  Then again, if that is going to break my system, that
is the biggest pain.  Does this mean that I have to upgrade to fc3
sooner than I was planning?

Anyways, hats off to Mark for leading me in the right direction. 
Sorry for posting this elsewhere and checking google, and not the
archives.  I thought I completely hosed my system, but hey, what fun
would myth be without the occasional moments of panic and then
discovery.

And UPN and WB are 1080i, as is I think Discovery HD and HDNet and
others, I think this pattern is universal.

Right now I think 720p is the wisest choice because very few people have
TVs with 1080 real lines on them, so why interlace?   Over time of
course I hope to see the world move to 1080p, which you don't see at
all yet.  In fact, most HDTVs won't take it, which I think is silly,
since our computer monitors have had cheap electronics to display
1600x1200px85hz for a decade now, as one example.

Hi.

I have links to some ffmpeg deb's for ubuntu there as well.
Thanks for the info. I'm using SuSE on amd64, but had no problems 
building the 03/03/05 cvs snapshot of ffmpeg.

You need a pretty recent ffmpeg cvs build for the -f psp to work (note
that around the end of march some of the cvs snapshots were broken as
far as -f psp was concerned).
Also you need to compile ffmpeg with faac support so it can encode the
aac audio track the psp needs.
here are my configure options for ffmpeg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ffmpeg
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4744, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard

  built on Mar 29 2005 11:43:17, gcc: 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)
I was more sparse, I just used --enable-faac and left everything else at 
default. Then again, I'm not replacing my existing version of ffmpeg by 
installing this one, I'm running it out of the build directory for now.

I see what you mean about the glitchy artifacts at the beginning of the 
video. Doesn't seem to cause any other problems, but not elegant. I hope 
fixes for this and the titling feature get into the main project, I 
don't have time or background to dig into the win32 code for a patch.

hope that helps some.
Certainly shaved some time off hunting for this info, thanks again.
What I'm hacking is crude. I'm creating a Myth recording profile called 
PSP, and inserting a simple check that runs when a recording ends. I can 
then simply set the recording profile to PSP for the shows I want to 
have the option to watch on the device. When a show is recorded using 
the PSP profile, it backgrounds an appropriate ffmpeg process to 
transcode it. This way I have a directory with a bunch of shows always 
ready to load and watch on my PSP.

I'm sure there's a simpler or more sensible method for doing this type 
of thing. This should work for now though. :)

The mythtvsetup program is a feature of the RPMs from
ATrpms.  If you haven't installed them (you do say
that you installed from mythtv.org, hence the
tarballs), then you likely don't have mythtvsetup.

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc9.1
(The filename is "setup", and it's in the setup
directory where you compiled MythTV from).

[mythtv-users] Need Help with pcHDTV 3000 Setup

[Jonathan Poon]

Hi everyone, I am experiencing trouble with installing the pcHDTV 3000 using 
both dvb and v4l2. the device is loaded with modules and I can see the 
output message using the dmesg where the computer detects the card with the 
proper modules. However, I am getting a blank screen in mythtv.

Here are some questions that I have for each situation (dvb and v4l2):
In my system using the old v4l2 modules, I get two devices, /dev/video0 and 
/dev/video1. When I use dtvscan/dtvsignal, I need to access /dev/video1 and 
it works perfectly fine as it detects the signals and such. However, when I 
use mythtv-setup, and insert /dev/video1 for the TV capture cards, it says 
that there was an error and can't use the device. However, when I change it 
to /dev/video0, it works fine.

This is an aliasing in issue in my /etc/modules.conf? What am I supposed to 
put in there? What modules am I supposed to alias?

I setup the the device as well to use dvb. I notied a mistake during the 
installation in which the script that is used to patch the 
/etc/modprobe.conf wasn't done properly, since I am on a debian machine. I 
don't how much that matters, but at the same time, mythtv-setup seems to be 
able to detect the card. However, I don't get any output. when I tried using 
the dvb-utils such as scan, the output didn't seem correct, so I don't know 
if I am installing this in correctly.

In my kernel, I modulated the video 4 linux, as well as the BT848 and 
CX2388x devices. I also then added the dvb to the kernel and modulated dvb 
core support.

Anyhow, I am stuck as to what I need to do in order to get myth to work. I 
am pretty sure its because I am not setting the device up correctly, so 
please give me some guidance if you have any hints to what I need to.

Thanks in advance!

I'm *far* from an expert on this sort of thing, but all I was thinking
of was using the average of each 3x3 (or larger?) block of pixels when
computing the max and min brightness for the frame.  This is crude,
but I think just about any non-blank frame should have brightness
variations on a length scale longer than this.

[mythtv-users] Lircd not working after installing second PVR tuner.

[Thom Paine]

Greetings list.

I tried a google and couldn't seem to find anything specific to my
setup, and was wondering if anyone else had this issue.

I upgraded my box to a P4 2.4 and did a clean install with FC3 and a
PVR-350. This was working reasonably well.

Today I added my PVR-250 card as I wanted to make sure my box was
stable before adding too much stuff to it.

Now my remote has stopped working. When I was experimenting with dual
tuners before, my remote switched from the 350 card to the 250 card,
but still worked. This time it has stopped working altogether.

Where can I check to make sure the lircd daemon uses the remote from
the 350 card and to get it working again?

Thanks.

Re: [mythtv-users] Going Nuts re: Nvidia Setup

[Dewey Smolka]

I hope this is not a stupid question, but is there any chance the
nvidia xorg.conf you're using is to drive TV only?  Have you tried
hooking up the S-video and seeing if it works?

If you're not planning on going out to tv just yet, you might as well
keep your working xorg until you get the system configured and
running. Editing the xorg.conf file is not that hard as long as you
follow directions, but it's also possible to fry your hardware if you
make mistakes in modelines.

The CookieDomain docs say that it has to be a string starting with a

I tried changing ServerName to boots.foo.local and setting
CookieDomain to .foo.local, but that didn't help.

I have also set CookieTracking to "on".

I noticed that Debian's apache2 has very few modules enabled by

  actions cgi php4 userdir usertrack

Am I missing something else crucial?

quick summary of my findings today (from memory though, wish I'd 
actually written it all down). In all cases, I'm using libmpeg2 for 
decode.

Athlon XP 1800 w/AGP GF4MX, 6629 nvidia driver:
-Able to play back 720p, cpu around 85% used.
-Able to play back 1080i without a deint filter, cpu around 95% used.
-Stutter every second or two on 1080i with deint filter on, cpu 
completely pegged.

Athlon XP 1800 w/AGP GF4MX, 7174 nvidia driver:
-Able to play back 720p, cpu around 70% used.
-Able to play back 1080i without deint, cpu around 85% used.
-Stutter every few seconds on 1080i w/deint filter on, cpu pegged.
Athlon XP 1800 w/AGP GeForce 6200, 7174 nvidia driver:
-Maybe slightly better, but no significant difference from the GF4MX.
Athlon XP 2600 w/AGP GF4MX, 7174 nvidia driver:
-Able to play back 720p, can't remember cpu usage.
-Able to play back 1080i w/no deint, can't remember cpu usage.
-Able to play back 1080i w/kernel deint filter enabled, cpu usage 
fluctuates between 80 and 95%.

I've decided to stick with the 2600 and GF4MX, and my secondary Myth 
box can now handle 1080i programming without a problem. I'll get the 
missing cpu utilization numbers one of these days...

I'd like to know what I can do get that kind of performance. I've got 
an Athlon XP 3000 (512 MB RAM) and an FX 5200 (AGP) running myth .17 
and FC3 (everything is from atrpms) where HD is close, but not quite. 
After a lot of hacking to get the channels to work, it finally comes 
up, but I'm getting lousy performance, with a lot of audio buffer 
underrun's (using spdif through an on board nvidia audio chip) and 
video stutter's. I'm using a pcHDTV 3000 with the 2.0 driver running 
in dvb mode. I turned off deint, and turned on libmpeg, but I think 
the only diff was the deint setting. I'm about to restart X with the 
NvAGP setting set to 1 to see if that helps, but I'm guessing no. XvMC 
doesn't work at all with the driver from the nvidia site. Would it 
help to download the driver from atrpms (currently using 7167)? I 
assumed they were probably about the same. Also, does myth use xv by 
default or did I miss a setting somewhere? Standard def playback is 
about 30-40% of the cpu, which I think is pretty high too, but am less 
sure about that. I know I'm missing something, but I can't find it in 
the archives (and I've gone back to about September). Anyone know what 
I'm doing wrong? Note that right now, this is a dual front and backend 
box, but it's not doing anything else at this point, so it shouldn't 
be an issue.

Ok, 7174 seems to be a little bit better. I can't believe that I missed 
that it was availble after reading this thread even. But I was just 
watching some doctor show on ABC which had it running at about 90%. 
Seemed like I had a winner, but when I changed the channel, behavior 
swtiched back to 100% (not even real HD, just the news upconverted), 
stutters, and of course the audio buffer underrun. I am noticing that 
I'm not getting anywhere near the glxgears performance I probably should 
be. The numbers are

5175: 1035 FPS
6340: 1268 FPS
6345: 1269 FPS
And so on. Anyway, this is the last time I'll respond to my own post, 
promise. I'm still missing something.

[mythtv-users] mapping mythtv detected channels to zap2it channels

[Xiaotian Sun]

Hi,

I finally get my mythtv going.  I'm able to watch digital channels
from my cable company.  Most of them are local broadcasting.

The channel numbers detected by mythtv are different from those listed
on zap2it.  How can I do a mapping between them so I can get the
TV listings.  Can I just change the channel numbers inside mythtv?

Thanks,

Xiaotian

Might work, haven't messed with filters much.  If anyone wants to point

It's also huge because there are a lot of different titles. Showing
each title once would shorten the list for a few days in the future
but would barely have any impact in the first couple hours of this
time sorted list. If you are looking ahead to a certain time frame
to see what you might watch then, there would be valid choices missing.
Also, say you have both HBO and HBOP 3 hours delayed. At 8:45 you
spot a movie you'd like to see that is on HBO from 7-9 and is about
to end. It wouldn't show you that it's on again in about an hour from
10-12 on HBOP.
What I'd like to be able to do is see all upcoming movies, but not 
list the same title more than once. Ideally, when I click on a title, 
I would be able to see all upcoming showings of that movie, and 
choose which one to record.

I can think of several reasons not to do this by default but this
should give you what you describe. The attached would have been a
one liner but it's two so that it also addresses the HBO example
above.
I can't see any way to do this with either the Movies or Advanced

Don't over look the HOME and END keys to filter by stars. This is
probably a much more effective chop the list down to just things
you might actually watch.

Whether it varies from region to region depends on the distribution

If analog, then the local affiliate does the encoding and can

The reason I suspect the encoding happens at the source is that the 
FOX network makes a point of its broadcasts being 720p, even going so 
far as to tout this at commercial breaks.  Of course, it could just be 
a mandate from the network brass.  Who knows.

[mythtv-users] Going Nuts re: Nvidia Setup

[Larry K]

All,

I have been struggling to get my nvidia environment set up according to
Jarod's guide.  Let me start by saying that altho I am relatively
new to the Linux world, I have a pretty solid foundation to build
on.  However, this little project is doing very little for my
self-esteem.  :)

Here is my system:

Nforce2 Crush 18G IGP chipset +Southbridge MCP
Athlon XP 2500+
Geforce4 MX 440 AGP (S-video TV-out)
FC core 3 kernel 2.6.10-1.770
Nvidia 6629 driver
Dell Flat Panel 1703FP VGA (analog)

When I run KDE with the default xorg.conf file (nv driver), things
appear to work correctly on the Dell monitor.  Having succeeded
with that, I tried installing the nvidia xorg.conf, which is where the
problems begin.  When the KDE desktop opens, the icons are not
painted correctly, and when I click on things, the display is
*somewhat* garbled.  I can normally see things well enough to do a
shutdown, but that's about it.  

I have experimented with about 1E10 permutation of settings, with
varying degrees of limited success.  I have tried various settings
of the NvAGP option, to no avail. I have disabled ACPI in the system
BIOS.  I tried the mem=nopentium switch as described in the nvidia
readme Appendix F.  I read about blacklisting AGPGART via
/etc/hotplug/blacklist, but didnt get too far with that one..

When I cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status, it sometimes says that AGP
is not enabled, or some such message.  At other times, that nvidia
directory is not even there at all.

dmesg normally reports something like this: 
agpgart:  Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset
agpgart: Maximum memory
etc.

/var/log/messages reports something like this:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA" taints kernel
NVRM: loading nvidia 6629
NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!

I have stopped progress at chapter 7 of Jarod's guide.  I suspect
I have some fundamental flaw in my AGP environment that I must solve
before I continue installing.

SoGiven my situation...

Would I be better off with FC 2 versus FC 3?
What nvidia driver should I use?  6629?
Do I want agpgart?  Does this conflict with the nvidia
driver?  or complement it?  If I don't want this, how do I
disable it?  
What NvAGP setting do I need in xorg.conf?  I think I want NVAGP (1).

What could be making  it so difficult to get this nvidia xorg.conf
to work properly?  Eventually, I plan to use the S-video TV-out,
but if I can't make the video driver work on a simple VGA connection, I
should not tackle TV-out or God forbid, twinview!  At least, not
yet.

Please help before I go postal.
Larry

P.S.  Earlier this month, I had successfully built mythtv on a FC
2 setup, altho I never got TV-out or twinview set up properly. 
Then, in a moment of idiocy, I started over with FC 3, which is proving
to be more difficult than FC 2, it seems.

Hi.

I've got this working with ffmpeg under linux.  here is a link to my
blog where I posted the steps, and the ffmpeg command:

http://tube013.org/blogs/thoughts.php?title=sony_psp_video_conversion_in_linux

I have links to some ffmpeg deb's for ubuntu there as well.

You need a pretty recent ffmpeg cvs build for the -f psp to work (note
that around the end of march some of the cvs snapshots were broken as
far as -f psp was concerned).

Also you need to compile ffmpeg with faac support so it can encode the
aac audio track the psp needs.

here are my configure options for ffmpeg:

[mythtv-users] Resolutions, image issues.

[Kevin Saenz]

I have some weird issues in Canberra with displaying DTV.
the default resolution is set to 800x600, when I watch TV, any show
that has heaps of movement and sound I get some drop out and the image
is horizontal waves, it seems like the refresh rates is too slow or
the machine can't handle the work.

I have an AMD XP2800+
512 Mg RAM
200Gig hdd.
Fusion DVB card
ATI9700 Card
Pioneer DVD Writer.

When I watch DVDs I only have a 3rd image display so the mail box view
is smaller than watching dvds on a normal dvd player.

What is the best resolution to set X for TV display?


Thanks

Kevin

Re: [mythtv-users] Optimizing MythTV for AMD64

[Kyle Rose]

In Seattle, NBC and CBS are 1080i, FOX and ABC are both 720p.
Whether it varies from region to region depends on the distribution 
method: are HD network programs transmitted in digital or analog?  If 
digital, then chances are I'm simply wrong and ABC is usually 720p.  If 
analog, then the local affiliate does the encoding and can broadcast 
whatever pleases them.

The reason I suspect the encoding happens at the source is that the FOX 
network makes a point of its broadcasts being 720p, even going so far as 
to tout this at commercial breaks.  Of course, it could just be a 
mandate from the network brass.  Who knows.

Cheers,
Kyle

Re: [mythtv-users] Need Help with FC3 pcHDTV HD-3000 Install

[SacTwoThirtyEight]

I have been unsuccessful still in trying to load the DVB drivers for my pcHDTV-3000.  What I have done so far is: Download the drivers for the pcHDTV from their website (using the latest 2.0 drivers). Installed the DVB programs as per Mr. Sturgeon's instructions to add azap
    Those instructions dictated to got to kernel 2.6.11

Probably.  The DScaler people (excellent program, BTW) say this about
PCI and video:

--
Can I use any vga card as a display device ?

This is what Mark Rejhon has to say about this:

"DScaler requires an AGP card. It is impossible to do on a PCI video
card. DScaler uses massive amounts of *bidirectional* bus bandwidth:
250 megabits per second incoming bandwidth (from TV card) and about
500 megabits per second outgoing bandwidth (to videocard). This bus
data firehose is not feasible on PCI bus, as PCI can reliably
continuously transfer up to about 600-700 megabits per second *in one
direction only* out of a possible 1056 megabits per second (132
megabytes per second) due to overhead. Try to go bidirectional, and
framerate literally gets the death penalty!"

Re: [mythtv-users] Optimizing MythTV for AMD64

[Kyle Rose]

Thanks! This alone has actually been pretty good for me. I'm using NBC
"Law & Order" as a test clip. I think that is 1080i based on what I've
read about various networks,
CBS and ABC are generally 1080i; FOX is generally 720p; I'm not sure
about NBC.
but I don't know how to just examine the
data file to extract this information. I think it would be kind of
cool for the Myth GUI (or MythWeb) to provide some interface for
looking at technical data for recorded programs (for me, "technical"
would be gratuitous geek information like 720p/1080i, SD broadcast
over HD, etc.).
You can get this information from (I believe) --verbose playback on
mythfrontend.
What kind of deinterlace algorithm are you using? I'm using Bob.
(Would that even be relevant to this performance discussion?)
Bob, for sure.  It's the only one that makes any sense, IMO; and rather
fortuitously, it's also the cheapest (other than one-field, I guess, but
that isn't really a deinterlacer. :) )
- Have you been using amd64-gcc-3.4 from the start, or had you
  tried pure64 (gcc-3.3) before? I'm still in my enamored
  honeymoon phase with MythTV, so I haven't started really
  poking at my setup yet.
Originally, 3.4 didn't exist, so I was using pure64.  It may be that
pure64 doesn't have any of the problems I've seen 3.4 exhibit, which
would make sense since Ubuntu is based on it (or rather, they are both
based on the same set of packages).  Nonetheless, I'm really impressed
by Ubuntu's stability and maturity for being such a new distribution.
Being based on a distribution like Debian will do that. :)
	- What was the motivation for going to Ubuntu?
Twofold: Erik suggested it for reasons I'll explain Monday... and I had
a bad enough taste in my mouth from the 3.4 archive that I decided I
just wanted to go with something different for a change.  FWIW, once I
log in, there is very little difference.  The bootup looks different,
and gdm originally looked different until I configured it back to
sanity, but otherwise it really is Debian unstable-made-stable: newer
packages but much smoother.
I've been wanting to upgrade, but pchdtv.com only has driver patches
to the 2.6.9 kernel.
Separate frontend and backend.  Backend runs 2.6.9, frontends both run
some variant of 2.6.11.  There are some advantages to this setup, though
the electric bill is a source of some complaint.
So this is implicitly --disable-xvmc, right? I also can't use XvMC.
Myth can't start with some kind of xvmc "can't setup context" problem.
I just explicitly disabled it because I didn't want someone changing the
defaults on me.  I don't bother with XvMC because it seems buggy and my
machines are fast enough to do without it.
Which drivers are you using for your HD-2000/HD-3000 cards?
Just 3000 at this point.  I'm using 1.6.
As I mentioned above, I use gcc-3.4. The reason is because with
gcc-3.3 I get this problem:
gcc-3.3 -c -pipe -march=k8 -w -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch
-fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -fno-common -D_REENTRANT
-DMMX -DUSING_OPENGL_VSYNC -D_GNU_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\"
-DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED
-I/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default -I.
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/qt3 -o cpu_accel.o
cpu_accel.c
cc1: error: bad value (k8) for -march= switch
cc1: error: bad value (k8) for -mcpu= switch
It sounds like you've got both pentium-builder installed, AND you aren't
 specifying --cpu=x86_64 on your configure line: the --cpu argument
keeps the Myth build system from adding -march=... to the compile line.
 You don't need it for AMD64 since there aren't any other variants of
that architecture to optimize for...yet.
Cheers,
Kyle

Thanks; you're right. I trided that anyway and got it working on
Saturday. Once I put it my TV size (DisplaySize 660 370), turned off
aspect ratio override in Myth and put the TV in zoom mode, it works
fine. (Without zoom on the TV, it thinks it's a 4:3 picture and
everybody's thin; zoom stretches it horizontally to fill the screen.)

Only problem is my GUI fonts are now tiny (in mythfrontend, gdm etc).
But that's been discussed here before and so I'll check the archives.

Re: [mythtv-users] Zap2it Data off?

[Michael Haan]

Go read the thread "Time change causes problems".  Basically, if
you're in a TZ which observes DST and you're using QT 3.3.4, you
should be having a problem.  If so, either change your TZ, or rollback
to QT 3.3.3.  Then, stop the BE, run mythfilldatabase, and restart the
BE.  That should fix it for now.

Re: [mythtv-users] Zap2it Data off?

[Mario L]

Well I'm still not sure what to think - some of my data is matching up
now, but not all of it.  It might be a fault of just a few of the
stations not providing the correct data due to the DST savings time
change & not at all zap2it's fault.  My central time mythtv
setup was worse though from what I saw, it looks like it was trying to
record a futurama at 3 or 4 in the morning  today, when normally
it airs around 10:30 or so. 

To get an idea of how widespread this is, what stations are people having trouble with and where are you located?
I'm having:

Raleigh/Durham area NC (EDT)
Problem Stations:
FX, Comedy Central, UPN

The only station I could verifably say is working is FOX

Ames area IA (CDT)

Cartoon Network, & Comedy Central

[mythtv-users] Old Grey Hauppauge Remote + Watch Video

[Jonathan Chapman]

I've looked through the lirc key map file from 
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#lirc and it all looks right. The 
remote works fine, it does rewinding fast forwarding and everything but 
when I go to watch a video in the "Watch Video" section my remote doesnt 
function. It wont fast forward, pause, anything. I have to use my

Hmm, I'm in Eastern Time, in Canada, and things are working fine for
me.  I happened to reboot my machine not too long after the change
to EDT, because of a power failure, so there's a slight chance that
is why my system is ok, but I assume people have tried that?

In any case, it doesn't look like a blanket Zap2it problem.  Maybe
just for some providers?  Or maybe the providers themselves are at

Has anybody noticed stability problems with XvMC and 0.17 or later? When 
I fast forward a lot or press the pause button and let it go for a 
while, when I unpause it my machine is locks up.
I haven't closely tracked symptoms, but yes. I had to disable XvMC in

So as mentioned in another post, you can set your timezone to be one
that doesn't use daylight savings time, restart your backend, and you're
all set until fall.

I'm running Gentoo, so I did:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Virgin /etc/localtime
If you're in EDT, the Virgin Islands use AST, and don't do DST, so
they're the same during the summer.  (i.e., Atlantic Standard Time and
Eastern Daylight Time are the same, and tropical areas tend not to use
Daylight Savings Time, as is the case with the one I selected.)

[mythtv-users] How do I determine mythfrontend status?

[Cedric Tefft]

Can anybody tell me how to (programatically) determine mythfrontend's 
current status?  Up to this point I have been redirecting mythfrontend's 
output to a file and then just parsing the file for those 'Changing 
from...' messages, however there seems to have been a change in CVS 
recently that's causing log output to be buffered, so there's no telling 
how long it will be after a 'Changing from' message is generated before 
it actually shows up in the log file.

Thx,

You might be able to do that, but it would be at the expense of losing
vertical resolution.

The best way to solve it is to add a DisplaySize line to your xorg.conf file
to specify a display size with an aspect ration of 16:9. Something like:

DisplaySize 400 225

Myth will then output 16:9 to fill the screen and 4:3 with vertical black
bars either side.

First you will have to get XML::Parser I don't know if you can get it

easiset way to get reqiured files from cpan is to run the following
commands

perl -MCPAN -e shell

then allow perl to create a configure script select the sites you
trust and will download from.

then run

That happens even after yanking all traces of 6629 from the system, so it
would seem 6629's libXvMC is staticly linked to libmyth, or something like
that. I'm kicking off a rebuild of myth against 7174 before hitting the

David, this looks very promising.  How would the S/PDIF connector fit

I am using component video (my HDTV doesn't have DVI).
  How would those connectors fit in that case?
Extremely, extremely, tightly ;-)  I had to punch the three holes for

Unfortunately, no space for optical S/PDIF (Toslink), I am still looking

[mythtv-users] Transcoding shows for Sony PSP

[James L. Paul]

I'm currently using a clumsy process for watching TV shows on my Sony 
PSP that were recorded by my MythTV box. Basically, I'm copying the .nuv 
file to a renamed .mpg file in a network-visible directory. A windows 
application named PSP Video 9 watches that directory and automatically 
transcodes and transfers the video files to the PSP device. I can then 
watch selected TV programs on my PSP.

PSP Video 9 is a windows wrapper for FFMPEG, using the MobileHackers 
binary, which is hacked to be able to produce PSP compliant MP4 files. 
It should be possible to build this version on Linux, but I haven't 
tried that yet.

I plan to look into directly transcoding to PSP entirely within MythTV, 
but haven't been keeping up with Myth lately. I haven't updated my box 
in months. I just wanted to toss this subject in the open since I didn't 
find a single reference to the PSP in the archives and wonder if anybody 
else is looking to do something similar.

Thanks for the debug info (although I'm not sure the whole list wanted
to see the mythcommflag.out.bz2 file). :)  This should be fixed in
current CVS, can you update and reflag this show to see if it does it
correctly now?

When going from a block that looks like a commercial to a block that
doesn't, I had a bug that was checking the min commercial break length
against the end of the new block instead of the start of the block.
This same bug caused both of these scenarios.  The bug was allowing these
short commercial breaks to be flagged when they shouldn't have been.

If you don't want to update to current CVS, you can try the 1-line patch
here:

I am using gcc 3.4 compiler (and I have successfully compiled Mythfrontend

The only changes I have made recently is upgrading to 2005.0 from 2004.4 and 
doing an emerge system.

Re: [mythtv-users] I'm a mythtv failure

[Adam Gianola]

the check box for xvmc is in the setup within the front end:

Utilities/Setup --> Setup --> TV Settings --> Playback --> Hardware
Decoding Settings (5th Screen).  The top checkbox says 'Use the
PVR-350's TV out / MPEG decoder' and the lower checkbox says 'Use
hardware XvMC MPEG Decoding'.  FWIW I can actually use XvMC since I
have a video card which supports it (FX5200), but I never use it...
still too buggy (though it does seem to actually help with HDTV
playback).

Cheers,
Adam

Er, that should be "they both pick up _video_ wonderfully, but I can't

Also, in case it helps anyone with a diagnosis, I can get the second

line-out jack on the second sound card. It just isn't getting imported

Cool. I'm not cool enough to have my own domain (or even my own

I've gotten started with MythTV for about a few weeks and am almost
comfortable enough with it to cancel my cable subscription, get
another HD-3000 card, and give my TiVo to my younger brother. My
combined frontend-backend system:

- AMD64 3500+ Winchester
- single HD-3000
- Pretty stock debian pure64 (gcc-3.3)
- NVidia FX5200 AGP DVI output
- linux kernel 2.6.9
- stock PCHDTV 1.6 driver patches from pchdtv.com
- nvidia drivers as described on debian amd64 alioth website.
- MythTV CVS, updated every week or so, compiled with gcc-3.4.
- XFree86 configured at 960x540
- MythTV GUI configured at 856x480+56+32 and +2% vertical
  overscan. The GUI geometry is to deal with TV overscan. I
  tried an Audio Authority 9A60 adapter, but that only got me
  up to 952x504, and it always messed up the convergence on my
  RPTV. So I'm back to DVI. The vertical overscan adjustment
  is for non-HD NBC (Conan O'Brien). There is always a white
  bar of static at the top of the display that I think is
  somehow part of the signal, so I use the overscan adjustment
  to get rid of it.

Let's go through the list:

Thanks! This alone has actually been pretty good for me. I'm using NBC
"Law & Order" as a test clip. I think that is 1080i based on what I've
read about various networks, but I don't know how to just examine the
data file to extract this information. I think it would be kind of
cool for the Myth GUI (or MythWeb) to provide some interface for
looking at technical data for recorded programs (for me, "technical"
would be gratuitous geek information like 720p/1080i, SD broadcast
over HD, etc.). I don't have any FOX recordings handy, so I can't
provide any results for 720p (I tend to aggressively delete shows when
I'm done watching them, and haven't yet learned to keep them around
for debugging/tinkering).

Anyway, using libmpeg, I run at about 75-85% CPU. Turning off libmpeg,
I am now down to about 50% CPU. In both cases, this is about 12% for
XFree86. Perhaps by coincidence, this confirms your reported CPU
numbers below (although we have different CPUs).

What kind of deinterlace algorithm are you using? I'm using Bob.
(Would that even be relevant to this performance discussion?)

Just curious:

- Have you been using amd64-gcc-3.4 from the start, or had you
  tried pure64 (gcc-3.3) before? I'm still in my enamored
  honeymoon phase with MythTV, so I haven't started really
  poking at my setup yet.

- What was the motivation for going to Ubuntu? I've been a
  long-time debian user, so I initially just tried pure64, and
  it didn't give me any problems. Some of the philosophy is
  admittedly sometimes frustrating (slow releases, non-free
  software), but the stability has proven itself to me a few
  times as well (including the recently alleged qt-3.4 DST
  shenanigans people have been reporting).

I've been wanting to upgrade, but pchdtv.com only has driver patches
to the 2.6.9 kernel. The reason I want to upgrade is because there is
a bug in the header files related to  that I have to
patch my way around (which I've told myself is easier than upgrading
the pchdtv patches to a more recent kernel).

[Matt Gracie]

I'm running MythTv on an Athlon XP 1800+ with a pair of ATI TV Wonder 
Pro tuners (using the cx8800 driver). They both pick up audio 
wonderfully, but I can't get audio to record on the second tuner. I've 
got it plugged in via the patch cable to a second sound card, but I get 
an error on the mythfrontend terminal that says "/dev/dsp1 captured -1 
of 4096 bytes of data".

I've tried this using the patch to the onboard VIA audio on the 
motherboard, as well as to a second Soundblaster Live!, identical to the 
one that I am using to capture audio from the first tuner.

I'm running Myth on Debian, using stock kernel 2.6.10-k7 from the 
official unstable repository, and Myth installed from the rit.edu 
apt-get repository.

Has anyone else seen this? Is anyone successfully running two Conexant 
based tuners with audio?

[mythtv-users] XvMC - less stable on 0.17 and latest CVS compared to 0.16

[Will Dormann]

Hi all,
Has anybody noticed stability problems with XvMC and 0.17 or later? 
When I fast forward a lot or press the pause button and let it go for a 
while, when I unpause it my machine is locks up.

I should mention that I have *no* hard lockup problems with 0.16
What made me test the CVS version is that I recently realized that Live 
TV doesn't seem to play well with XvMC enabled on 0.16.  I'm using Bob 
Deinterlacing with this patch:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/87191

The OSD flickers, which I can mostly live with.   But it seems that if 
the OSD is on the screen for too long, it can cause the video to go 
corrupt.   What seems to trigger this is watching Live TV, then changing 
channels.   It looks like having the OSD up while changing channels 
causes mythfrontend to hang.   I can exit X and restart it to get up and 
running again, though.   (Compared to 0.17 where I have to hit the power 
switch)

[mythtv-users] Re: Hauppauge 350 not initializing.

[Patrick Davila]

Rudi,
Something must have been broken. Either the driver or the patched fedora
kernel. How did you do your install? Do you use FC3 and the same software
versions as me? Do you use Axel's repository. My card is about a 1 year
old and behaves exactly as yours. It works fine in windows. Works the
first time after restarting in linux. I'm thinking about just compiling
the driver from source. Can anyone recommend which version of the driver
to use? I assume the latest CVS version?
Thanks

Pat

I'm running 3.3.0 without any problems.

[mythtv-users] Use internal player for mpeg files

[Adam Siegel]

Is it possible to use the mythtv internal player to just play an mpeg 
file.  I have mpeg files in my video collection, but am forced to use 
mplayer.  I have a PVR-350.  When I use the ivtv driver for mplayer, I 
can't get the audio and video to sync.  When I use the x11 driver 
optimized for ivtv the audio and video are in sync, but the picture is 
not very smooth.  I thought .nuv files where pretty much mpeg files 
anyway.  Thanks for any advice.

[mythtv-users] Possible OT: Newest nvidia drivers and interlaced modes

[Jeff Wormsley]

I performed an apt-get dist-upgrade this afternoon to get the latest 
atrpms firewire, new kernel, etc, in the hopes of fixing some of my 
firewire capture/livetv problems.  In doing so, I had to upgrade my 
nvidia drivers.  Now, when I start X, I get a vertical "split-screen" 
mode.  The whole screen is there, but the left half is on the right, and 
the right half is on the left, with a white bar down the middle.  The 
mouse, however, seems totally unaffected (it moves from one side to the 
other, across the white bar, without problems).  My modelines are all 
interlaced 1080i timings (slightly modified from the ones supplied by 
Jarrod).

Any ideas what's wrong?
On a slightly related note, on the 6629 drivers, glxgears would crash 
X.  Now, it runs, but at only 50fps. Could this be related?  The 5200 
card in this box should be able to do at least 1000 fps on this, 
shouldn't it?

TIA,
 Jeff.
