[mythtv-users] Selecting DVB audio pids in 0.17
Hello, I've googled up a couple of threads regarding the DVB audio pids in Myth 0.17 (both on this list and on dev), but I'm still not able to do what I want. This thread on the developer list seems related, but I think my problem is more ordenary: http://www.mail-archive.com/mythtv-dev@mythtv.org/msg04850.html I use a Pinaccle ShowCenter to play some of my recoded shows, and that does not handle the audio on the recordings I've made with myth 0.17. On myth 0.16, where it all worked, I used an audio pid that when recorded, and idetified using Xine, presented itself as "MPEG 2 audio layer 2". When I record with 0.17, the same information is "A/52 2.0". I think what I need to do to get around this is to select another auido PID for my recordings. So, do I need to edit the code as described in the thread above, or can I somehow change the priorities amongst the audio pids so that Myth again uses the "MPEG 2 audio layer 2" pid? Hope this wasn't to unclear... -- /Ola Nilsson ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Video card importance for HD playback
I just put in my order for an Athlon64 3500+ Abit AV8 mobo w/ 1G pc3200. The box is going to be a HD frontend/backend with 2 Air2pc cards, and maybe firewire from Comcast. In an effort to stay on budget, the rest of the hardware will come from stuff lying around the house. Which leads to my question: I have a Radeon 7000 (AGP 2x / 64 MB) that is not being used. I also have a Radeon 9550 (AGP 8x / 128 MB) thats in my main workstation. Is it worth the trouble of reconfiguring my workstation with the 7000 so I can have the 9550 in the myth box? >From what I've read, the display card isn't that important unless XvMC is used, which I understand might be supported by the Radeon hardware, but not supported by the available drivers. At any rate, I'm planning on doing straight software HD decoding -- and I expect a 64/3500+ should do fine with that. Does it make a difference which card I use? Should I get a different card? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Suggestions for a ATA/133 controller, was: [mythtv-users] Is xfs flaky or is it my drive. Fedora Core 2, XFS, Myth .16 and .17
The good news is I have solved the mystery of my flaky XFS. I went a got a new drive, assuming the 200GB drive was failing. I read the book this time.. Learned that if you don't have an ATA/133 controller, then anything over 137 GB is too big, and when you access the space on the drive over 137GB unpredictable things happen mystery solved. Course it's never as easy as you might think. Went to Compusa, got a generic ATA/133 controller, Compusa Brand (they had that and one other off brand). Its an 8212 controller. Put it in, boom, nothing works. Round and Round, but the net is this is seems to be a not linux friendly ATA/133 controller. So - I ask the intelligent collective, what ATA/133 controllers you have found to work out of the box with Fedora core 2 and 3 and/or any good driver solutions to the 8212?

[mythtv-users] playback problems after cvs update
I have been running cvs for some time now and just updated from end of march to cvs as of April 8th. Now playback is not working well at all. When I first start a show the total time of the recording is something like 318:00:00, and if I pause it then unpause it shows 58:00, then it keeps changing even though it has finished recording. The other problem is fast forward does not work. It pauses playback for about 5 - 10 seconds then starts playing again, only skipping a few seconds. I have gone back to cvs as of March 25th and it is still broke. Could it be a backend thing? I haven't gone back that far on the backend yet.

MythTV recognizes stations with identical callsigns to be the same, so increasing the chanpriority causes it to prefer recording Buffalo stations from satellite, unless it is otherwise occupied -- it will then switch to antenna (possibly not pointed in the right direction, but better than nothing). If you set 'chanpriority' on the channels coming in through the DVB-T card to higher than that of the chanpriority of channels coming in through the set-top box, it should rather record from the DVB-T card unless it can avoid it.

Because it is difficult to predict whether the antenna will be tuned correctly at any given time, I have set the 'chanpriority' in the channels table of the mythtv database higher (i.e. 3 or 4) on the Buffalo channels on satellite. MythTV recognizes stations with identical callsigns to be the same, so increasing the chanpriority causes it to prefer recording Buffalo stations from satellite, unless it is otherwise occupied -- it will then switch to antenna (possibly not pointed in the right direction, but better than nothing). If you set 'chanpriority' on the channels coming in through the DVB-T card to higher than that of the chanpriority of channels coming in through the set-top box, it should rather record from the DVB-T card unless it can avoid it. Untested SQL for doing this (WARNING! COULD BORK YOUR DATABASE IF IT ISN"T QUITE RIGHT!) UPDATE channel SET chanpriority=5 WHERE sourceid=42; .. put the sourceid of your DVB-T card in where I've put '42'. -- Ian Trider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users <><><><><><><>___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

A little Googling led me to the sources for mythFM, and I started making a
stab at getting it compiled, if not working. The compile bombs out with
the following message...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythFM]$ make
cd mythFM && make -f Makefile

Now, I've got qt-devel installed, and qdir is in...
./usr/lib/qt-3.3/include/qdir.h
...but the Makefile doesn't seem to be finding it. Anyone got any
experience with making mythTV modules? Can someone tell me where I'm going
awry here?
PS: Wouldn't it be great to have some sort of python interface to the
MythTV system. I'll admit to knowing nothing (yet) about the internals,
but it seems that for low requirements things like this, and the weather
pluging that's going to require recompilation everytime a web address
changes, it would be ideal.

Encryption does not have to be cpu-heavy... it's usually when it's combined with compression that you see any real issues, and there's no point (attempting) compression on video streams.

Re: [mythtv-users] Question about multiple tuner cards
J wrote: Ok, In order to record multiple programs at once, do you need a separate cable/sat box for each tuner card? Or will one suffice? Joe is correct that if the box only outputs one signal, you can only record one thing from the box at a time. However, many digital cable services offer the analog channels over the coax cable. Also some cable boxes have a VCR "bypass" coax output where the box is sort of a splitter for it self and passes along the analog feed to another tuner device while the box is in use. A common configuration is that people often have one digital cable box and two (or more) tuner cards. The digital cable box s-video is connected to an s-video on one card and analog coax is connected to the tuner input on the same card and all others. This way, with two cards you can record one digital and one analog at the same time or two analog at the same time. Myth knows that it can only use one input per card at a time and the scheduler will figure out the best thing to do to record your shows. -- bjm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

there was nothing visibly wrong with the card it was defective in some

I see that my local store has the 150 and 150mce for the same price... is
there any practical difference since I will be using it in the box

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR250 with distorted audio every 30-40 seconds
Yes. I had this problem with one of the PVR cards I bought. Although
there was nothing visibly wrong with the card it was defective in some
way as it displayed the same problem in another machine with windows. I
got a replacement and everything was fine so it definately was a hw
fault with the card

Yes, it is the preferred networking method between multiple linux boxes. Samba will work, but has some overhead that you may see a difference with if you were to give NFS a run.

Yes, ATrpms ivtv, rev.3.2q, IIRC.
Tried the alias line above, it didn't seem to work, so I gave the box
a reboot. I've seen some posts stating that PVR 500s need a reboot
after some changes in order for them to take effect. That's exactly
what it needed, both tuners on the 500 (/dev/video2 & 3) now work
great, video and sound.
However, my PVR 250 on /dev/video1 has lost it's audio. The 250 on
/dev/video0 still works great. So, I'm going to troubleshoot that
before adding the 500 to my Myth setup. I think I'll remove the tuner
line and reload the ivtv module, reboot if necessary, just to be sure
that something else is not clobbering my audio.

I was hoping not to have to join another list, I have enough trouble
keeping up with this one, even in gmail. However, I will if necessary.
I've been searching the archives of that list looking for a solution.

About the subject line, I was thinking about submitting a patch to add a "post-record" script to each input similar to the channel change script. For me it would be to shut off the settop box after recordings but it would also work for moving back to a neutral channel.

For the benefit of others, I'll post here: Essentially, while build quality is a small factor, you'll find that the chipset design is mainly responsible for the quality of a card. This means that all bt8x8's are uniformly mediocre -- the cx88's are better. The point is; buy the cheapest "WATCH TV ON YOUR PC1" card you can find at a store with a good return policy -- chances are it is probably a bt8x8. Only thing to watch for is that the cheap ones only have mono tuners -- if you are recording off of analog cable directly through the tuner you'll want one with stereo.

[mythtv-users] ALSA Sound Problem
Howdy, I'm using fedora core 3 on one of my frontend boxes (an athalon 2800+ in a shuttle n-force box). Whenever you start playing something (video, mp3 whatever) it appears to default all the mixer volumes. This is quite anoying as each time I have to manually turn up the mixers as the output of the shuttle box is very low. I have tried doing an alsactl store - this doesnt help. Anyone else seen this before? M. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Foxtel Digital Capture card recommedation(Australia)

Hi David, I have an AthlonXP 1500 with 1 PVR250 and 1 PVR350, without any hard disks at all, connected by a 100base switch to the main server. I haven't had any problems caused by running out of network bandwidth - even with both PVR's recording a program, and running a mythtranscode. That is 2 x 4mbit/sec for the recordings, plus 1 x 4mbit/sec and 1 x 1mbit/sec for the transcode. I am using NFS v3, over tcp, with tweaked network buffers (see the NFS howto for performance tuning onfo), with a recent 2.6 kernel. Considering the maximum bit rate from a 350 is ~ 12mbit/sec, and doubling that for overhead - for a single PVR350 you would only be using approx 75% of the theoretical maximum of a 100base switched network. Another data point is that I have fairly successfully run a myth live-tv 3mbit/sec stream over an 802.11b network (about 5mbit/sec max in my setup), albeit at a reduced resolution than my wired network.

[mythtv-users] Re: Mythtv 0.17 on EPIA triying to output to /dev/nvidia0
Hi Ivor, Great to see your participation on the MythTV lists, I remember the anticipation on the VIA Arena forum when you first developed the reverse-engineered ddmpeg software - excellent work! :-) Up until recently, my PVR was working great with the old ddmpeg library, but I decided to upgrade my EPIA-M PVR and try the VIA XvMC software. I'm experiencing exactly the same problem with Gentoo, kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r8 and a configuration almost identical to Mark's. All other programs I have which use the VIA XVMC work fine (mp2player, and Xine) and my installation of MythTV is clean. Just to confirm, is it normal for MythTV to attempt to use /dev/nvidia0 despite not being built with any form of explicit nVidia support? I'll rebuild my MythTV shortly with the debug options - hopefully we can find a resolve.

Since he said he's using my doc, chances are he's using ivtv from ATrpms, in which case a simple addition to modules.conf may fix the issue: alias tuner tuner-ivtv That, or installing v4l snapshot kernel modules, since I sent the tuner and tveeprom patches for the PVR-500 upstream as well.

[mythtv-users] Re: edit cutlist on OS X
I haven't been able to get edit mode to work on my frontend either to be able to edit cutlists. I was hoping it was an issue with 0.17 and upgraded to cvs, but that didn't make any difference. If I run from the command line and turn verbose messages on, it never says anything funny, just consumes 50% cpu and never responds again. Does this work for anyone? Is it a feature that just isn't available on the Mac frontend? Or is something just bunched on my machine?

Sometime my satellite box might go into standby, or be set to standby by me (I also have to switch my box to standby to get the firmware upgraded), my channel change script checks to see if a signal is being received and if not send the power on signal.
