Well, you could either get tv_grab_dvb and try that or run dvbsnoop -n
1 0x12 and see if you get anything out of that.

The eit stuff may not work everywhere, although it works for me (dvb-t
in the uk). Where in the world are you ?

Re: [mythtv-users] .18 MythWeb weather.php still broken

[Chris Petersen]

I thought this was fixed in .18, but it seems that the MythWeb weather.php 
page still tries to get the weather map from w3.weather.com. To fix this, 
look at lines 209 and 214 in weather.php and change them to www.weather.com
Works fine for me, always has.
Any reason why www is better/worse than w3?  What does mythweather use now?

[mythtv-users] 0.18 on Mandrake 10.1---Success.

[gjmcgee]

0.18 (release) and all add-on themes/plugins built on Mandrake 10.1,
and everything checked (so far) works very well.
Will work down the list of things folks have said do not work, and 
report back.
SO far:
mythmusic, mythvideo, livetv, playback of recording, recording itself,
and mythweather work fine AFACT.

I cannot check mythphone.
0.18 also fixed the silly time shift bug that has been pissing me off since
the DST time change. (Actually a bug in QT3.3.4 IIRC)
I'm sure THAC will have packages soon, but if you're in the mood, all 
the deps are an easy "urpmi  -a" and looking at the results away 
at most.

[mythtv-users] CVS Build problem - videobuffers.cpp:280: `usleep' undeclared

[Bill Chmura]

This is strange... I am building from CVS on two machines (todays code)
and I am getting a problem on one, but not on the other.

I checked the cvs commits and there is a lot of recent activity in this
file.  I followed some of the commit recommendations and make distclean
and so forth.

This is on a 2.4 kernel with a hauppage pvr350

Any ideas would be great!

Re: [mythtv-users] CPU usage 100% in mythtv .18

[Brian Wallen]

No, it's not mythcommflag, it's mythfrontend.  I tried setting the bitrate 
down to like 2000, but that doesn't work.

[mythtv-users] aspect ratio troubles

[Philip Nelson]

G'day all
When I watch live tv, with aspect ratio set to Off, it looks exactly the same 
as if it's set to 16:9. I automatically transcode all my recordings.
When watching a recording that was recorded/transcoded with 0.15/.16, I always 
have to switch to 16:9 when starting to watch a recording, as it starts off 
looking the same as 4:3 (with aspect ratio set to Off). With 0.17/0.18 
recordings however, they look fine - I don't have to change ar - having it 
set to None is the same as 16:9.

Now here's my problem. I want to use nuvexport to export some of these nuvs as 
I'm running out of disk space. Whatever I try to do however, the resulting 
xvid has 4:3 ratio. nuvinfo tells me all my nuvs have aspect 1.333 (4:3).

So what's going on here? Is myth incorrectly recording the aspect ratio in the 
nuvs? I would really like to be able to convert some of these nuvs to xvid as 
I'm quickly running out of disk space.

I'm using dvb, original stream is mpeg2, I'm transcoding to mpeg4.

Cheers,
Philip

Did you see my post in that thread? I had problem with commercial
flagging when I updated. Try to use the top command to find out what
process is eating your CPU cyckles (open a terminal, write "top" and
watch the lines at the top of the listing, q exists).

Post the name of the process, if it's mythcommflag, it's the same
problem as I had.

Re: [mythtv-users] Edges of picture getting cut off on tv out

[Joe Votour]

Last I heard, the overscan on the Unichrome video
chipset can't be finetuned (although this may have
changed recently, I haven't used my M1 in maybe
four or five months).  The settings are (were)
calculated based on a fixed set of tables, rather than
a calculation (like on the nVidia cards).

I think that your only choices are:
Option  "TVVScan" "over" (overscan)
Option  "TVVScan" "under" (underscan)

[mythtv-users] Problem with fast forward/rewind...

[Nate Thompson]

I've been having a problem since I installed .17, and it continues with .18;
hopefully someone can help me out. Whenever I use either the fast
forward/rewind functions, it will work normally for about 10 seconds then
the screen will freeze. If I hit play, it will resume playing normally from
that spot. However, if I hit FFW/REW again, it will continue moving in
whichever respective direction for another 10 seconds or so before freezing
again. I was wondering if anyone has seen this behavior, and if so, if they
were able to find a fix for it.

Any help would be apprechiated, hopefully I can get this figured out before
I go and break something tomorrow night trying to get my VGA->Component
adapter working. =)

OK, patch for this is in current CVS as well as the release-0-18-fixes
branch.

OK, I'll commit a fix in a couple minutes.  I had the round vs ceil
fix in my tree already but wanted to verify that fixed his problem
before committing.

It seemed to work fine for me, but I guess whether it worked or
not for someone would depend on whether normal_speed = 1.1 fell
on the 1.09 or 1.11 side of 1.1.

I see the same arrow and I am running FC3 fresh install. Currently, I

[mythtv-users] DVB EIT Data

[Greg Grotsky]

Hello All,

I've been trying to figure out what the deal is with DVB EIT.  From
what I've gathered it is a program guide broadcasted by the stations
themselves, is that correct?  How can I tell if I have it or not?  I
tried compiling it in and I noticed in mythtv-setup each channel had
the added checkbox but it didn't seem to affect anything else.  Is
there some way I can determine whether or not it's available in my
area?

Thanks,
-Greg

Re: [mythtv-users] Removing Unwanted Channels

[Greg Grotsky]

I don't know if it's correct but this is how I get rid of channels I don't want:

mysql> delete from channel where callsign='MTV';

That line will get rid of your MTV channel (assuming you want to get
rid of MTV).
Anyone care to agree or disagree?  I hope it's the right way cause
I've been using it and it seems to work but I'm afraid I'm leaving
open hooks in my sql database.

[mythtv-users] LIRC not auto-starting in FC2

[Robin Smith]

Hi,

I upgraded my FC2-based mythbox to kernel 2.6.10-1.770 and along with
it came a bunch of newer version of stuff (and new problems...). The
last issue to resolve since fixing my nvidia and eth0 issues is lircd.

When I reboot, the remote no longer works in MythTV.

If I exit mythtv and do the following:
depmod -a
modprobe lirc_i2c
service lircd stop
service lircd start
mythfrontend

The remote starts working. What has changed in the newer
kernel/drivers to stop lirc from auto-starting?

I recall something like this in a thread before and can't find
anything FC2 related. There's some lirc/ivtv related patch for FC3 but
that does not apply to me. I am on the latest .18 apt releases of
myth.

Help would be gratefully appreciated

[mythtv-users] New Mythtv Xbox site - www.mythtv-xbox.org

[Marty Mastera]

Hello 
everyone,
 
I'd like to 
introduce a new site targeted towards mthytv xbox users.  I personally 
began the journey of running myth on an xbox soon after the bit.blkbk.com site 
when down and wished that resource was available to me as I embarked on the 
process.
 
As you will surely 
notice, the site is very bare (an understatement, for sure) - we are asking 
the mythtv xbox community to offer their suggestions, advice, critisisms etc on 
the site's organization, forums, layout, etc..in order to make it a resource 
worth visiting.  Feel free to comment on what forums would be relevant and 
worthwhile - your suggestions will be acted upon and implemented very 
quickly.  
 
The goal is to make 
this site a true community effort from design to implementation and to create a 
resource where mythtv xbox questions have a home.  Thank you in advance for 
your input - we look forward to a great resource!
 
Marty

[mythtv-users] Enter/Space not selecting buttons?

[David]

I'm running 0.18 on FC3, fully updated from ATrpms and several other 
repositories via apt-get.  I had this same behavior since 0.17 and can't 
figure out what to do about it.

Enter/Space will not select certain buttons for some reason.  For 
example, in the setup screens, the Next, Back, and Finish buttons don't 
work with Enter/Space.  Nor the confirmation prompts at the beginning of 
mythtvsetup and when exiting mythfrontend.  Selecting the button with 
the arrow keys and pressing Enter/Space will visually "depress" the 
button but won't actually activate it.  If an accelerator key is 
assigned to the button (like with Next/Back/Finish) then the accelerator 
key will work, but the Yes/No confirmation prompts don't have 
accelerator keys and thus I can't do anything with them -- all I can do 
is hit Esc which answers No, meaning I can't exit mythfrontend.  I have 
to kill it manually.

But some other buttons, such as the menu within MythMusic, DO work with 
Enter/Space.

Any ideas?

Re: [mythtv-users] HDTV performance in 0.18

[D. L.]

Darn, I compiled without "-–enable-opengl-vsync". 
Can I gain a lot of cpu by recompiling?

I have confirmed that GLX is loading (from xorg.0.log):

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
(II) Loading extension GLX
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) Initializing extension GLX

CPU is fine except when I record two DTV programs, and watch a third. 
I have disabled xvmc and enabled kernel deinterlacing to reduce
combing. Video/audio is fine, but I'm concerned about intermittent
frame drops during the recordings.

Not having looked too closely at the code, speedX100 seems the easiest
way to go.  FWIW, this bug had been on my TODO list before I had to
start fighting various ailments for the last 3 weeks.  I'm just now

[mythtv-users] Alsa settings

[Robin Smith]

Hi,

I have a soundblaster live 5.1 in my Mythbox and have just upgraded to
the latest alsa (on FC2). I have noticed an improvement in quality of
the stereo recordings played through my DPL-II receiver.

I am curious to know, in alsamixer which sliders do you have "up" and
at what value.

Here are my settings:
Master: 87
Bass: 50
Treble: 50
PCM: 100 (With a green 00 under it)
Wave: 96
Wave Capture:8
Music Capture: 8
Line: 100
Capture: 100
AC97 Capture: 2

Everything else is Muted and/or 0

Also, I can recall more than once that sometimes some EMU sliders show
up, but seemingly not always. Messing with their settings does strange
stuff like make the audio only come out of one speaker (not because of
different left right settings). I have never quite got what the ideal
settings should be so any light that can be shed would be helpful.

Re: [mythtv-users] Help diagnosing hardlocks / kernel oops.

[Joe Votour]

I would recommend that you try to compile MythTV with
debigging enabled (if possible), as it will give more
information.

The reason that mythbackend blew up is because of a
trashed pointer (trying to read data at address
0x41474147), thus, a pointer had the characters "AGAG"
written where they shouldn't be.  Could be a buffer
overrun in the code that caused the pointer to get
trashed.

Other than that, I couldn't say.

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB newbie: 1st MythTV-0.18 impression

[Jonathan Watmough]

You probably see a lot of 'bad stream' errors as well huh ?

http://watmough.blogspot.com/2005/03/bug-fix-for-atsc-channel-changing-on.html

That's my fix for it. It fixes switching between channels with the
same pids, just by removing the reset feature when the channels get
switched. Hacky but effective.

One of these days I'll actually try and work out how to really fix it.

[mythtv-users] SPDIF sound on Intel D865GBF board

[Jeff Wormsley]

I just upgraded to an Intel D865GBF board, using an AD1985 chipset, and 
would like to get SPDIF output working on it.

Has anyone tried this?  Google searches show commits to ALSA to support 
it, but little else.  There are old references to people who obviously 
had it sort of working (one guy mentioned soldering!).  Try as I might, 
I can't get a digital signal from the left channel of the green jack 
(according to the Intel PDF) to be recognized by my reciever.  I've 
tried using alsamixer and KMix, and IEC958 is on.  I have no clue what 
the others do, but I think I have hit most of the probably combinations.

TIA,
 Jeff.

[mythtv-users] Removing Unwanted Channels

[Larry K]

When I first set up my zap2It channel list, I put in several channels that
I have since removed.  Problem is, these unwanted channels are
still populated in my mythtv database, so they clutter up the EPG and the
mythweb listings.  

Is there an elegant way of purging these unwanted channels?  I
assume the channels could be deleted form the mysql database, but I
thought I'd ask if there is a better way before I go messing with the
database.  Using the following query, I think I have identified
the rows I want to delete.  Not sure if there are any referential
constraints to complicate the delete of rows from channel. 
Thoughts?

mysql> select chanid,callsign from channel;

| chanid | callsign |

I've been trying to figure out Etherboot.  I understand that I could
probably boot from a floppy and load the wireless adapter's drivers, then
boot from DHCP/BOOTP but I can't find a wireless adapter that is supported
by Etherboot.

Have you found such an adapter?

Maybe I should have made that a speedX100 instead then.  I wasn't
thinking about the manual adjustments by 0.05.  If none of the
(speedX10 == blah) checks match, then nothing is checked, so that
would accomplish what your describing if I switched to speedX100.
Unless you or someone has a better way to be checking the
normal_speed value without having to have something like:

(normal_speed > 0.49 && normal_speed < 0.51)

I thought that those would be too complicated and that's why
I did the speedX10 to begin with.

Does switching to speedX100 vs speedX10 make sense in addition to
the round vs ceil change?

Another option I've been toying with is creating a small bootloader on
a CF that would bring up the wireless and load the network image. 
Thats a lot of work, but it'd be pretty cool.  Especially with the
prospects of mfd.

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone successful yet with an HD-3000 and QAM?

[Adam Gianola]

I have both working with no problems, finally.  I've got a FC3 setup
via Jarod's guide, which includes the PVR-250; using HD3000 2.0
drivers, unmodified.  Had to manually add the QAM HD channels to the
database, as mythtvsetup had problems when scanning the qam channels,
but they do work after the manual editing of the db.  I guess my cable
provider isn't quite up to speed with the hd qam channels (providing
all the required atsc feed info), which is why mythtvsetup doesn't
detect things perfectly.  Others don't have this issue. YMMV.

Good luck,
Adam

I'm having the same issue - FC3 and a PVR-250.  I thought it might

You could get a wireless bridge.  Something like the Linksys WET54GS5

[mythtv-users] Typo in error message

[Mathew Mrosko]

This error message is probably rarely seen, but I updated mythtv to 0.18 
today, but haven't restarted the running frontend.  When going to " Watch 
Recordings"  I get this error message:

Myth could not locate the selector object within your theme. Please 
make 
that your ui.xml is valid.

Myth will now exit.

I believe the message should say "Please make SURE that your...".  Just 
thought I'd point this out... Tonight if I get home early enough, and still 
give a damn, I'll make a patch and submit it to the dev list.

Interesting. I noticed Mythweb wasn't pulling the weather map just today, but 
when I changed it to www.weather.com it started working correctly. From 
the .17 days, I had a hosts entry to work around this, so maybe that got in 
the way somehow.

[mythtv-users] Myth as Receiver

[Bill White]

There are several posts on this board that are relevant to this topic, but never land upon it specifically.  This is not a solicitation to have the answer handed to me, but if anyone has already done this, or been thwarted trying then I would appreciate hearing what ever you have to say on the matter.  Likewise, any links or posts on the matter would be appreciated.  
 
I have a Myth box with a PVR-250 and am soon adding a PVR-500.  The motherboard is an A7N8X-E Deluxe (integrated APU; support 5.1).  I would like to set things up so that my Myth box can take the place of my crappy Technics receiver.  Specifically, I wish to attach my DVD, VCR, Tape Deck, Vid Cam and so forth to the various composite connectors on the cards.  Both PVR cards can get additional input thru AV attachments to their AV headers making for a possibility of four AV connections.
 
I need to be able to step through the various cards and inputs from my remote.  Preferably with one button.  It would be really nice to be able to select a specific tuner/input combination with a single button, but I am not greedy.  Well, at least not rapacious.   I think I know how to do this, but it may take some coding.
 
There would need to be a way to turn off the buffering for Live TV.  I remember reading up on this about a month ago, but need to find the postings again.  Preferably I would keep the buffering for regular coax TV, and ditch it for everything else.
 
Finally, I would need to find a decent set of 5.1 computer speakers with longish (room-length) speaker wires.  Alternatively, wireless speaker options.

[mythtv-users] Other MySQL Versions

[Dustin Nicholas Jenkins]

Has anyone tried using a newer version of MySQL (i.e. 4.1.x or 5.x)?  I 
see a lot of twenty second pauses between simple operations, and suspect 
that it may be MySQL, but don't know for sure.  My mythfrontend logs 
seem to like spitting out this:

2005-04-24 16:20:26.687 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 
(try 1 of 5)
2005-04-24 16:20:46.692 ReadStringList timeout (quick).
2005-04-24 16:20:46.692 Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION:
error querying master in ProgramList::FromScheduler

And the documentations suggests making sure the IPs match on the General 
screen in the configuration, which I didn't touch to begin with as my 
backend and frontend are the same box.  Anyone have other suggestions?

My other problem is that when I choose Watch TV, I see the MythTV output 
(i.e. the display showing what's on the channel), but no display or 
sound.  I can cat /dev/video just fine and get video however.  I'm using 
the CVS build as of 10:00AM the morning of April 24th PST.

Many thanks,
Dustin

[mythtv-users] Diskless/Wireless

A socket has been closed

And so on.
I know that is not the right output for mtd, but

That will probably work for the menu-defined speeds which are all
multiples of 0.10.  I don't think it will work right, however, if the
user does a manual adjustment in 0.05 increments to an in-between
speed.  IMO, the menu should not show a checkmark for any speed in
those cases.

Thanks, Jeff.  I was pretty sure Windows would have VNC clients.

If there were absolutely no alternative to a Windows-based device,
then it would rise to the top of the list.  I'm sure hoping that some
flavor of Linux on a hand-held device is capable of running a VNC
client.  Until I find one that I can understand and maintain confidently,

If you're compiling from source, can you try a simple 1-line fix?

Edit libs/libmythtv/tv_play.cpp and search for the following line:

int speedX10 = (int)(ceil(normal_speed * 10));

change the 'ceil' to 'round' so it looks like this:

int speedX10 = (int)(round(normal_speed * 10));

and see if that fixes the problem for you.

[mythtv-users] CPU usage 100% in mythtv .18

[Brian Wallen]

I'm using mythtv .18 in gentoo on an epia 1 motherboard. When I was 
using .17, the cpu usage was around 60% when watching live tv (I haven't 
gotten hardware acceleration to work yet).  But now no matter what it's 
always at 100% and the picture is usually jumpy.  I saw a thread that said 
to enable mmx and use --enable-proc-opt in the ebuild.  I tried that, but no 
luck.  Has anyone else had this problem?

[mythtv-users] Wierd Time Offset

[Jim Gifford]

Is it possible instead of offsetting the recording time from minutes to 
30 seconds. I have one show that starts at 8:00 in the program guide, 
but this one channel is about 30 seconds behind, so it starts late and 
ends late by 30 seconds or so, and you lose about the last few seconds 
of the show. I know this is a nitpick, but it's aggravating, even a way 
to offset the channel, sinces it's a channel issue.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythbackend mysteriously dying

[Jeroen Doumen]

I kind of figured out why my mythbackend dies (I think).  It is indeedhard drive related, but not because of disk failure, but because of
file size limit.  Mythbackend always dies when the recording filereaches 4GB.
Interesting. May I ask what filesystem you are using?

Can't say much about the Intel Graphics (I think it is Intel Extreme

The Radeon 9200AGP however, has a binary linux driver from ATI.  Get
it from their website.

This was the file I needed.  I changed the color for the ActiveButton to be a

I guess in all my playing around, I never noticed that file.

The buttons and what not are controled by which QT theme you're

Look in the theme.xml file.  Search for "activetext"  that'll put you
in the right area.  Somewhere right above or below that is the "text"
section for the inactive text.

I have a PVR-350.  The DVD Rip works great.  I specify "Internal" for

mplayer with the -vo ivtv, then I get great picture and out of sync 
sound.  If I use mplayer -vo x11 then I get choppy video with in-sync

Design decisions: Just one really, be able to have at least one MythTV
system available at all times.  So, by having more than one system,
the odds that ALL systems will fail simultaneously are very, very small.
Being able to try out any MythTV changes on a second, third, etc. system,
and not lose recording capability, is also very desirable.

How many TVs: Only one TV, 61" Sony rear projection.  It will have to
be replaced with an HDTV model, but the current unit displays HDTV
well enough until its replacement arrives.  To be completely truthful,
there is a backup TV set in the room, a 1985 RCA 27", not connected
to Myth, Marantz, or anything else except a backup 1980 RCA 390 VCR.

Sorry for the confusion:  The 61" Sony has five(5) Video inputs, one of
which is connected to the Marantz' Video output.  This allows many, many
inputs into the Sony, seven of which can come from the Marantz.

Any of the Marantz Video inputs can be sent to the TV by 
pressing a button on the Marantz' remote.  (The more I try to explain,
the more it seems to be less clear - sorry.)  Audio is selected simultaneously
when the button is pressed.

About your assumption - one frontend per display - no.  It's multiple
frontends, each selectable one-at-a-time thru the Marantz.

Yes, all the frontends on one TV.  As for redundancy, I just hate missing
favorite shows.  Even now, M-F, I record Letterman on two VCR's, just
because there have been failures.  With MythTV so easily outfitted with
multiple tuners and huge disk space for storing programs, I know I'll come to
rely on MythTV even more than VCRs.  And that means I'll feel that much
worse when/if one of the MythTV systems breaks down.

Thanks for replying to my message.  After I posted it, read an article
in the April 9 Chicago Tribune about hacking the PlayStation Portable
to surf the Web.  The PSP is a nice-looking unit, has Wi-Fi for connecting
to the LAN in my house, and would be easier to use than a laptop.

So, I'm wondering if there might be a hack for VNC to run on the PSP.
I'll be off searching for any help in that area.  I've seen Palm VNC, and
plan to study/research that further, too.

The purpose(s) of my original message were to add some information
about VNC to the discussion, and see if anyone has a better, less-bulky
solution to the Single-Remote/Multiple-Frontends situation.

[mythtv-users] Slight Theme adjustment, for slightly color blind person

[Don Brown]

I have a slight color deficency - and I find it very hard to tell the
difference between the currently selected option and non-selected options in
menus (and on the Next, Cancel, and Back buttons on the setup screens). 

I'm currently using a customized version of MythCenter (for 0.17 on FC2).

What I would like to do is to darken the unselected items in the menus so I
can more easily tell which one is currently selected.

I've done lots of customization on the theme, but I cannot, for the life of
me, find where this is set.

I've looked at other themes too, which have different colors, but I cannot
find where these colors are set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

PS.  I'm view the mailinglist via digest mode, so I'd appreciate a answer to

I find this interesting, and hope you will explain your design decisions .
Here's the solution I've decided to go forward with:
 1. Place a small, silent laptop (DELL I-7500 running Fedora 2,3,4)

This sounds like your table and chairs are placed to view multiple TVs

 2. Add VNC to the xorg.conf file on each Frontend, as shown here
 
 http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html
 
 3. Use vncviewer on the laptop to operate each Frontend.
I've tried this already, and it works really well.
I use this method extensively for remote administration in my work, but 
haven't applied it to controlling Myth frontends.

The MythTV boxes, and their noise, will be in an adjoining room, 
cables running along the floor and back wall into a Marantz SR-18EX.
Each Frontend will connect to one of the Marantz' multiple VCR,
LaserDisk, DVD, or AUX ports.
My backend is in another room, but I currently have only a single TV and 
so only a single frontend.

The result should be that only one remote, the laptop, will be 
needed to control all the Frontends.  And several VCR's can be retired.
My main curiosity is your multiple frontends. I assume you have 1 
frontend per display device (TV). How do you handle selecting audio? If 
you don't have 2 or more TVs, why do you have more than 1 frontend?

For watching Live TV, I bypass MythTV entirely and watch the TV set
directly.  With enough MythTV capacity, watching Live TV will be the 
exception.  Watching MythTV will be the rule.
I very rarely watch live TV. I think my main confusion here is that I'm 
not sure how many TVs you have. Your solution is aimed at having only 1 
remote control, and so uses VNC to control multiple frontends. Somehow I 
get the impression you might be viewing all the frontends on a single 
TV, but that doesn't make sense to me since you only need one frontend

on a new machine I get TONS of errors!
(403 forbidden - file non available - etc.)

I had to comment out ayo.freshrpms.net from sources.lists,
but then I don't get all the packages I need anymore...

This shoud affect many people... hints?

Re: [mythtv-users] Myth Firewire Capture on Gentoo

[Devan Lippman]

I'm not a gentoo guy (I run from source) but simply installing the
firewire drivers allowed configure to detect the required libraries
and then enable firewire in myth.  I think the ones needed were
libavc1394-0.5.0, libraw1394-1.2.0, libiec61883, and of course the
linux kernel drivers for 1394.

Sorry to everyone for digging an old thread up but I just had the exact same 
issue with Suse 9.3.  I fixed it the same way Dave did then came looking in 
the mailing list to see if anyone else had a similar problem.  I notice  Dave 
was using Suse 9.1 so I wonder if it's a Suse thing.

These are all set to the default (mp3, 32000 sample rate, quality 7,
vol 90%). I think this was a red herring anyway. Someone else
suggested removing the module config that fedora generates
automatically and running alsaconf. This seems to have solved it. I
know have a known good mixer state saved by alsactl, and no longer
update this whenever the module is unloaded (I think this was were my
problem began).

[mythtv-users] Remote suggestion?

[j2]

Hello!

I am about to re-build my box. This time I think I'll use Jarods FC3 guide,
and then do Myth from CVS.

But, I wonder about IR.. I have a PVR350, with the receiver working nicely
now, but on the new system I want a blaster as well. 

Does the ATRpms now support using lirc-i2c for receiver and a serial
blaster? Or can someone recommend a (preferably) USB-unit that does both
send and receive?

[mythtv-users] RE: sound problem

[Bob Weber]

Jim, I'm having the same type of problem. I can record and watch DVDs, but 
when I watch live TV, the sound drops to almost nothing. Sometimes this also 
happens when I'm watching a recorded show, but not often.

I'm using a PVR-250 card and debian. Are you using PVR-250 too? I'm going to 
search through the archives some more to see if I can find an answer. We need 
a search capability in these archives, and a way to reply!

-Bob


I have verified everything, sounds works everywhere on the system...except
for watch TV.  I found  thread about making sure that Enable AC3 to SPDIF
passthrough is off..which it is. I'm pulling my hair out here..any ideas?

[mythtv-users] VNC as a Single remote for Multiple Frontends

[Mercury Morris]

Recently, I

 1. Built a MythTV Frontend/Backend combo.
 2. Added an RF remote, the ATI Remote Wonder.
 3. Wanted more Frontend/Backend combo's for redundancy, backup, etc.
 4. Realized multiple ATI Remote Wonder remotes would be Very hard to manage.
 
Here's the solution I've decided to go forward with:

 1. Place a small, silent laptop (DELL I-7500 running Fedora 2,3,4)
on a table between easy chairs.
 
 2. Add VNC to the xorg.conf file on each Frontend, as shown here
 
 http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html
 
 3. Use vncviewer on the laptop to operate each Frontend.
I've tried this already, and it works really well.

The MythTV boxes, and their noise, will be in an adjoining room, 
cables running along the floor and back wall into a Marantz SR-18EX.
Each Frontend will connect to one of the Marantz' multiple VCR,
LaserDisk, DVD, or AUX ports.

The result should be that only one remote, the laptop, will be 
needed to control all the Frontends.  And several VCR's can be retired.

For watching Live TV, I bypass MythTV entirely and watch the TV set
directly.  With enough MythTV capacity, watching Live TV will be the 
exception.  Watching MythTV will be the rule.

Re: [mythtv-users] HowTo delete a recording group? SOLVED

[Thomas Börkel]

HI!
Using mysqlcc I saw, that there are really recordings with recgroup = 
'', despite the fact that mythfrontend did display no recordings, when 
choosing that group.

After I changed the group from '' to 'Default', the '' group vanished 
from the select box.

Thanks for all help!

[mythtv-users] DVB newbie: 1st MythTV-0.18 impression

[Christian Schuglitsch]

Dear MythTV users,
I use Ubuntu Linux 4.1 Warty Warthog and a Twinhan VisionDTV Ter card.
After a quite difficult installaion I have MythTV running.
Compiling MythTV took a lot of time but it took me more time to find out
that libqt3-mysql was missing to set up the database. I've thought I
would get an error message from ./configure.
I have chosen my DVB card and the german TVtoday video source. Then I
have answered the questions on the console. After that I have had
several channels but none of them worked. I have found out that I can do
a scan manually. Initially it didn't work to enter only the frequency.
Choosing the right bandwidth and switching the inversion off helped.
Well, afterwards I've had every channel twice.
I needed several retries to find out the best solution I know until now:
enter mythtv-setup
choose the dvb card
select the right program guide
add all channels in xterm
write down all xmltv IDs
quit
restart mythtv-setup
delete the channels
select the program guide
don't add any channel in xterm
manually enter all frequencies
edit channels and enter icon path and xmltv ID
uncomment all found channels in ~/.mythtv/sourcename.xmltv
mythfilldatabse --update
This works for me. Switching channels is quite slow compared to
xine-dvb-plugin. I have reduced the buffer to the minimum but it hasn't
got faster
That TVtoday program guide is quite good but recording is just based on
its times. Sometimes the end is missing. Is it right that every channel
has it's own epg/mhp via DVB-T?
Maybe future versions of MythTV (it isn't version 1.0 yet)  can use
either this or the other one for each channel.
Removing commercials works quite well but some bad companies place their
logo in one of the upper corners.
I'm missing videotext and I have a problem with NDR regional channels.
This is information from another German region but for me it's almost
the same:
ProgrammnameService IDVideo PIDAudio
PIDPCR PIDVideotext PIDPMT/Daten PIDs
NDR Fernsehen Niedersachsen1294625
4626462546284624
MDR Fernsehen  1004657
   4658465746604656
WDR Köln262
4641 464246414644
4640
hr-fernsehen65
4673   4674 46734676
   4672

4626 / 4674  4625 / 4673 46284880
NDR FS Schleswig Holstein 1314625 / 4641   4626
/ 4642  4625 / 4641 46285136
NDR FS Mecklenburg Vorpommern 132  4625 / 46574626 / 4658
4625 / 465746285392
I can use the xmltv ID "ndr.de" only once. For the other NDRs the
program is unknown.
When I switch from one NDR channel to another I have no sound and a bad
picture quality. Then I have to switch to another channel that doesn't
use the same Audio/Video PIDs and then switch back. So when there's no
regional program I mustn't switch from NDR FS SH to NDR FS NDS/HH/MVP or
when there's regional program e.g. hr-Fernsehen to NDR FS Hamburg directly.

And one thing is missing: A transport stream contains four channels and
we should be able to record/watch all of them simultaniously.
