Re: [mythtv-users] rpms for 0.18 and CVS rpms (was: 0.18's available)
My major concern from watching the commits list was the flurry of activity the week or two running up to the release. It seems to happen everytime and while I don't want to dis the devs and contributers, it does make it a little dangerous to upgrade to the latest release as soon as it is released. Perhaps a better apporach would be to have 'code-freezes' that occur a week or two prior to an expected release, and then only fixes to the current release are commited, no new features. Perhaps with the branching of the source each release, this isn't so necassary, its just I wonder how stable *everything* is. As I said, the devs do a great job, I just don't want to lose any of the great MythTV functionality for the whole period between a release.

Re: [mythtv-users] nuv2avi question
I am trying to export a nuv to avi for my parents to watch on Windows/XP. I built nuv2avi from svn. I exported with I now have a converted file. nuv2avi -i 2002_20050411203200_20050411211500.nuv -o /tmp/file.avi Interestingly, the avi is a tiny bit larger than the nuv. But I have some problems: 1) The output has aspect ratio 4:3 while the original is 16:9. Mythtv shows everything correctly. mplayer (Linux) , WMP and DivX (on windows) show the wrong 4:3 ratio. I can adjust it with DivX but could not find a way in WMP. 2) I have problems with the sound. Mythtv does have any problem with the original. - With mplayer the sound moves ahead of the video, leading by a few minutes soon. The video seems to progress OK (no noticable pauses or skips). - WMP plays the video for 0.5s then pauses for 0.5s repeatedly. The CPU load is low (about 25%). The sound moves ahead very quickly (well, the video makes very slow progress). - DivX player (windows) shows the video smoothly, but I could not get any sound out of it. DivX seems to use a lot of CPU though, I had to drop to minimum quality for the usage to drop tp 50%. Don't know if these problems are related to the input file itself, but other files play well. -- Eyal Lebedinsky ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://samba.org/eyal/ attach .zip as .dat ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] mythtv with conexant nova-t on FC3
Hi I'm a bit of a newbie, so apologies in advance for any stupid questions, but I'm hoping someone can help me get Mythtv up and running with DVB.

[mythtv-users] can't init mythvideo with 0.18
I just upgraded from a 0.17 installation (CVS 0.17.20050223-1) to 0.18 (CVS 0.18.20050409-1). After compiling and installing both mythtv and the mythvideo plugin, when starting mythfrontend I get the following message: 2005-04-16 13:12:54.515 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. Unable to initialize plugin 'mythvideo'. /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythvideo.so does exist, and has the correct date for when I compiled. I don't see many references to this in the archives. Can anybody advise on how to get more information on exactly what the failure mode is? I've at this point only tried running mythfrontend with the -v all option. -=Mark ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] MythVideo Problem [frontends: pc xbox]
Got a question here, about MythVideo [note: docs on this were not _to_ helpful...;-)]. 1) On my backend system (MythTV 0.17 atrpms, DirecTV, FC3, pvr-250, nVidia FX5200) Everything is running fine as far as recording, playback, etc. of TV signals. The problem is in MythVideo: when I play a video, I can hear the sound, but the picture stays with Loading I've tried a variety of modifications, based on the assumption that MPlayer just isn't 'coming to the front' [if I alt-F4, and kill mythfrontend, I _can_ see the video playing; harsh solution] - dropped the '-vo xv' line from 'mplayer'. Hey, it coulda helped! - changed focus from Focus under mouse to Focus follows mouse, as well as tried some permutations of auto-raise and click raises focus - Changed my MythVideo playback to add the -ontop parameter to mplayer (ok, I admit it, after all else failed, I started read'n the docs...mea culpa). None of the above worked; mplayer appears to be playing properly, but apparently it's 'under' the MythFrontend, and I'm not doing something correct to tell it to 'come to the front'. Did a few searches of the mailing list, and while I now know how to correct various ATI and playback audio/video issues (none of which I have), I don't know how to correct this one. And it's a wee frustrating as otherwise the 0.17 install is totally sweet. Another note:I did not have this problem in 0.15 and earlier under RH9, though I did have the problem Jarrod refers to in his Tips'n'Trick where-in after MythVideo completes, the remote goes dead. I will remember how to fix _this_ annoyance...;-) BTW: my Xboxen frontend is also running fine with Xebian 1.1.0, and MythTV 0.17.3. ;-) Like others, I haven't spent the time to get MythVideo working on _it_, either, but I kinda wanted it to work on the primary-backend/frontend first. Gonna probably have to spend a bit of time to 'tweak' the playback settings: on my HDTV, the picture is very nice, but the credits, and any text in a film looks jagged; probably an interlace/deinterlace issue. *shrug* Anyway, a hearty Great Job! to Isaac for MythTV, and the same to Jarrod for his incredible breadth of knowledge with RH*, FC*...;-) Carl _Now_ what have I gone and done?!

I'll try to be on time, but if you're early (or I'm late), look for the guy with the long blond pony tail. -Chris ok, I just found out that one of my favorite bands is coming back to Seattle, and thought that it'd be a great opportunity to see them AND get to know some of the other seattle-area mythtv users...

[mythtv-users] Unable to change channel from MythTv when using a PVR250 card
Hi,
I was using MythTV with an ATI Wonder without problems.
I just replaced this card with a PVR 250.
My problem is : I cannot change channel from mythtv (the recording is always
done on the same channel).
(no problem with sound and image quality)
I have also a crash of the mythfrontend when I try to watch live tv but this
is less an issue because I will use this box only to record shows.
When I schedule a recording I get in the following lines in mythbackend.log
:
005-04-16 14:24:45.723 Scheduled 72 items in 0.0 = 0.01 match + 0.03 place
2005-04-16 14:24:45.743 Started recording Enough on channel: 1006 on
cardid: 1, sourceid 1
The channel configuration in the database looks good :
10066 6 1 TBS Turner Broadcasting System none
NULL
11867 0 32768 32768 32768 32768 Default 0
In mythtvsetup I deleted the cards and the channels several times, the issue
remains.
The ivtv drivers seems to be working because I can change the channels by
using the /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl tool.
I trying to gather some information to answer the following questions :
- Is this issue due to a misconfiguration issue, and is there a way to fix
it ?
- If I can't fix this issue, can I use the /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl in the
External Channel change command ? field from mythtv ?
- Is there any way to define additional traces to troubleshoot this issue ?
My system is a FC3 on the last patch level.
I added additional information about my configuration, any help would be
welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Guy

Re: [mythtv-users] All is fine but remote does nothing in MythTv
A couple things. First, if you compile mythtv with the standard settings, you need to use lirc through irxevent and irexec in the ~/.lircrc or ~/.mythtv/lircrc config file. This, I have not done and don't exactly know how to do. Instead, for Myth 0.17, the following worked for me (I also am using the PVR 350 remote receiver, BTW, and my remote is the silver one): Once I got irw to talk to lircd OK (as you seem to have done) I uncommented the two lines after Native lirc support in the settings.pro file of the mythtv source, so they appear as follows # Native lirc support CONFIG += using_lirc LIRC_LIBS = -llirc_client and recompiled and reinstalled mythtv. Then in my ~/.mythtv/lircrc file I put the entries in the form: begin prog = mythtv button = CH+ repeat = 4 config = Up end (as opposed to irxevent and CurrentWindow and all that) and everything worked fine ever since. Note that ~/.mythtv/lircrc needs to be in the home directory of the user you are launching mythfrontend as. Hope this helps. --- Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure whether I should be posting this here or the ivtv list, I guess it could be either.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Need advice with 'Pixelization
Well, it sure appears as though I spoke prematurely. When I enable deinterlacing (Bob 2x), my system becomes unstable. I am mostly unsuccessful with the other options as well (XvMC h/w decoding, libmpeg2). I also tried realtime priority, but I have not done the suid root thingy, so the log indicates that option was rejected. Below is a snippet of my mythfrontend log. Perhaps Jarod or others who use the mythtv-suite distro can weigh in regarding what deinterlacing methods are available?

Based ont his, can I assume that the artifacts were there becasue of the way the encoded video was being decoded for display? As opposed to it being a flaw in the way the PVR-250 was encoding the video in the first place? I went on to experiment further with the XvMC hardware decoding, and that seemed to introduce stutter. I noticed that the CPU consumption of mythfrontend dropped by 50% when I did this. Based on this, I assume that when this box is not checked, myth is doing XvMC software decoding instead? So, one way or the other, XvMC decoding is being done? I did not try libmpeg2 or XV. I gather that XV and XvMC are mutually exclusive options. Is that correct? And what about libmpeg2? Is that to be used in combination with either XV or XvMC? I guess at some point, it will become increasingly difficult to discern any improvement, as the picture quality gets closer to nirvana.On 4/14/05, Will Dormann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Larry K wrote: I'll bet that's my problem, then.FWIW, my recordings are 2.2GB/hour, which seems pretty reasonable.

[mythtv-users] M10K XvMC video stuttering
Sorry to beat a seriously illin horse, and for the long post. I was having this problem with .17, and waiting to see if it went away in .18, because I hadnt been keeping up with patches. I know turning off XvMC solves problems for many people, and that XvMC support is improving. But I also thought that XvMC is working well for people with EPIA M10K setups. Im having a problem with stuttering video/sound on live tv playback. Playback from recorded content plays fine. With both XvMCs enabled (or just the VIA one), and deinterlace Bob (2x framerate), the picture looks great, but there are bursts of prebuffering pauses and WriteAudio: buffer underrun messages that go along with stuttering video. With both XvMCs disabled, no deinterlace, there are no pauses, no bad log messages, but there is video tearing. With both XvMCs disabled, and bob deinterlace, video is shown twice, split screen, with same picture squished on the top and the bottom, colors are funny (lots of purples and blues), and the whole screen flickers solid green. Its a little noticable. Ive just built a new backend with a different MB/CPU, so I dont think it is backend hardware related. Im using the following Debian testing X.org 6.8.2 Unichrome VIA driver from CVS, checked out 2005-03-15. freedesktop.org DRM driver from CVS checked out 2005-02-10. MythTV 0.17 (now .18) I tried more recent checkouts of the VIA driver and DRM, but still had the same problem, along with some new ones, so I rolled back. Other than the pause and underrun messages, there are no errors in the frontend log. The log does mention XV and VLD are being used: 2005-04-16 14:00:42.913 Using protocol version 15 2005-04-16 14:00:45.099 Opening audio device 'default'.

No swapping at all. top shows no IO waiting, plenty of idle CPU (60-70%). There is about 3% hi and 3% si in top, which I can't find a description for, I don't know if that is a problem. The stuttering is very bad when I first go to live TV, or when I change channels, but then smoothes out after a minute or two. It never goes completey away, it can come back in bursts, but isn't nearly as noticeable after a while. If I pause so I'm 15 seconds behind, it doesn't seem to help, but if I pause about 1 minute or more, it seems to rarely pause once I start again. I didnt think the 3D parts of OpenGL were used, but I figured if I could get a good glxgears value, it might indicate I had the drivers set up properly. Before doing this, glxgears was around 50fps, and after going through the motions, it is now around 530fps, so I think I have OpenGL set up properly. Playing prerecorded content works smoothly. Two smaller problems, they are not a big deal, but if there are any ideas it would be nice to cross them off the list. 1) When watching video, overscan hides the VBI dots at the top, but they are visible in the program guide, and the preview of recordings. I know the crop filter doesnt work with XvMC, but I gave it a try just in case XvMC wasnt used in either of those two modes. crop=1:0:0:0 had no effect. 2) When entering and exiting the program guide, the video jumps down and left slightly between the time the guide is selected, and actually appears. Not a huge deal, but it is pretty noticable, since this causes the VBI to be visible. Any suggestions?

[mythtv-users] Random bad? idea DXR2
It is worth noting that afaik a dxr3/hollywood+ mpeg2 decoder card does do interlaced tv output correctly. I just setup mplayer with a 2.4 kernel and got that all working. (Links for the relevant info are on the mplayer page.) The thing is, since I can't think of any way to use that as a normal graphics adapter I don't think it would work with myth anyway. Its just that the quality of the tv out maybe better than some. Of course there is also the fact that I don't know if those cards are available anymore. Still I managed to get mplayer playing on a tv with xvid type source material on a amd k6 500 (i think). Note for people like me that forget about use flags in gentoo, well adding the mmx and 3dnow flags and recompiling mplayer made a huge difference. I've no idea what the effect is in myth though. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Re: All is fine but remote does nothing in MythTv
I am also using lirc 0.7.0 (with a PVR 350 using myth 0.17), and it works fine for me with native lirc. Since: 1) You apparently are compiling and running lirc just fine, for the Hauppauge, etc., since you get the correct output from irw when you use the remote. 2) You compiled mythtv with the native lirc support Then all I can say is: 1) Make sure you have the file ~/.mythtv/lircrc in the home directory of the user you are running mythfrontend as (e.g. /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc) and that the entries are of the form begin prog = mythtv button = Ch+ repeat = 3 config = Up end where the button field matches the name in your lircd.conf file (also the third field of the irw output lines) and config matches a key name mythtv expects. Make sure prog is mythtv. 2) Make sure access permissions for /dev/lircd are rw and the myth-running user can read ~/.mythtv/lircrc. 3) Make sure there are no syntax errors in lircrc. I would use a one-button configuration for troubleshooting. 4) Once I remember if I ran irw before running mythfrontend, mythfrontend would not be able to connect to lircd. So, avoid using irw before launching mythfrontend. Look at the log files for mythfrontend and lircd (or the text output if you run them from a shell) and examine any errors.

[mythtv-users] Slight 0.18 compile problems
First, thanks to Isaac and all of the developers (as well as less frequent contributors) for the great work on 0.18. I had a couple of minor problems compiling 0.18 that I just wanted to post and see if anyone had the same issues. Running FC3 with Axel's RPMs the configure script doesn't successfully find artsc.h. This is because the path to it is /usr/include/kde/artsc and it gets included as artsc/artsc.h in both the configure script as well as audiooutputarts.h. The detection code seems to work OK, I just need to change both instances to artsc.h so that the file can be seen. Should these instances be changed for all platforms to artsc.h, or will that cause problems for others? I have a dual head setup with a monitor as screen :0.0 and my TV as screen :0.1 (Svideo) with separate X sessions. I don't use Xinerama but when I first started the 0.18 frontend on the TV X session it tried to use the resolution from the monitor when displaying on the TV (1280x1024 on an 800x600 screen). Needless to say it was very hard to see (think magnifying glass). I took a look at the code and saw that it was getting the XineramaScreen value from the database which was 0 and that caused Myth to think the resolution was 1280x1024. Excerpt from my logfile: Total desktop width=800, height=600, numscreens=2 2005-04-16 11:50:31.085 Using screen 0, 1280x1024 at 0,0 2005-04-16 11:50:31.089 mythfrontend version: 0.18.20050409-1 www.mythtv.org This has never happened in prior Myth versions and I have been running the exact same config for at least a few Myth upgrades. I fixed the problem by changing the XineramaScreen value in the database to 1 manually since I cannot find the screen on which the value is set. I know that there used to be a setup screen with this value, but I went through all the screens in the frontend config and could not find it. I would think that this value should not be used if I am not using Xinerama. I do not know why Myth now wants to use the value if I am not using Xinerama. Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there some related configuration value that I might have set wrong? I don't think that these issues require a detailed listing of my configuration, but if anyone needs more info about my setup to help me out please just let me know.

You can write your own scripts that myth runs when it changes a channel so theoretically you could do whatever you want - you just need to write a script that does everything that needs to happen to get that channel to display.

For example, I have our 4DTV receiver set up as channel 46 on our antenna; if we want to watch something on the 4DTV, we tune to channel 46, then use the 4DTV remote to tune the dish. I have Zap2It set up for local antenna listings and 4DTV. At first, what I'd like MythTV to do is show both the local antenna listing, and 4DTV listing in the guide, and know that if we choose a 4DTV channel that it should really tune to channel 46. Later, I intend on getting an IR xmit/recv unit, and hope to be able to coax MythTV into sending the commands to move/tune the dish as well.

Re: [mythtv-users] Files to Backup
The easiest thing would probably to put /boot and the rest of system files on partitions separate from the content (recordings, videos, etc). Then you could just back up all of the partitions except the content. Search the archives for Mondo Rescue. That said, I basically do what you do: dump the database and config files (including the .htaccess stuff for mythweb, the file containing my audio settings, fstab, rc.local, hosts, and so on). I've done a couple of re-installs lately this way. It's a bit painful, but I didn't lose any content, either.

Re: [mythtv-users] ...misuse of Mythvideo
As I think about this, it could be that the reason it TAKES SO LONG is
that the SELECT query is attempting to create a HUGE file (maybe some
infinite looping is occurring??), which, even though I have a LOT of
disk space, eats ALL of it and wants more. Can't get more, hence the
error, and the file is not created. Now, WHY would a select from
videometadata seem to loop infinitely??

The problem seems to be when the screen is at 1920x1200 I get a funny combing affect. I have tried both using XVMC and no XVMC (kerneldeint,quickdnr/denoise3d). What's more interesting is when I flick throu the aspect ratios 4/3 and 16/9 zoom are fine - but the rest have this weird affect. If I use a different resolution (in myth) say 1024/768 its fine.
