Re: [mythtv-users] Firewire 6200 playback problem
I think I see a pattern. In one of the files that does not play, the first TS sync byte (47) is well into the file. about 64K of mostly zeros and some kind of packet I don't recognize preceeds it. In one of the files from the same channel that does work, the first sync byte is the first byte of the file... Also, this seems to happen when a channel change is necessary, and not happen when the recording is from the channel currently tuned. My guess is that capture begins on these bad files before the receiver is fully tuned to the correct channel. So, they're perfectly fine when viewed by software that seeks to the first sync byte, but maybe myth assumes the first byte should begin as TS?

I could care less about P4 vs. Celeron vs. AMD64 as long as it gets the job done. For the sake of argument, assume that a Nvidia FX 5200 will be used with DVI output and no XvMC.

[mythtv-users] Actisys200L progress, but doesn't like pre-working remoted.conf
Here is my status so far After I rebooted I got the JVC_RAW (can't find remoted.conf) problem resolved. I learned after I changed it, I had to kill remoted and then restart it. If I run one of the remotes config files I dont get any errors at all, but nothing happens on the box. Before I was using the JVC_RAW (raw codes, which looks VERY different than anything I see in the remotes pre-made config files). The error I am getting with that is this: transmission failed removed client accepted new client on /dev/remoted too short gap: 10 I have tried the JVC_4700, and the Dishnetwork 301 one, but again they look completely different than the RAW codes one that was working. I tried to change the gap to like 2 or 6200 (seen from other config files) but they still dont do anything. One thing that I did in my original setup was to change my dishnetwork receiver to address 9. Thanks again __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I have a PVR-350 card which I use for input and TV out, but I have never got the radio part to work. My girlriend really misses the FM radio feature so, due to the arrival of an updated version of mythFM, I think that the new card would have to have a working v4l radio driver.

It has a resolution of 1280x720 It supports the following formats: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i Any generic explaination would be really nice. 2 specific questions I have: In the MythTV recording profiles, to 'get the most' out of my TV, what resolution should I use to record? What resolution should I have in my xorg.conf? Related question: I have both VGA and DVI inputs on the TV. I am wondering if running a vga to vga cable from my videocard to the input will transfer an HD stream, or if I HAVE to get a videocard with a DVI output (not that it's that big of a deal, it'd just be nice to save ~30 bucks ;) ).

IP: DHCP(usually assigned 192.168.1.100) MySQL: Running (but do I need to run it here??) Network:100Mbps On Box 1, mythtv works perfectly. I can record, watch LiveTV, etc, etc What I want is to do is store this box somewhere, always leave it on and forget about it. Box 2 (client) is where I want to schedule records, watch them, and watch Live TV. From Box 2, I can successfully connect to the Servers MySQL database, and have opened up all ports necessary on the server to allow a connection to MySQL as well a MythBackend. Where Im having trouble is in the configuration of MythTV on the Client (Box 2). Mythfrontend starts, but can not display LiveTV. The screen goes blank, and after 1 second or so, returns to the MythFrontend menu. Ive tried this with and without the Mythbackend running on the client. Im actually uncertain about whether I need to run MythBackend on the client??? I suspect that one or more of these messages in the logs is responsible but cant find anything about how to correct this situation: RemoteFile::openSocket(control socket): Could not connect to server @ port -1 OR RemoteFile::openSocket(ringbuffer data socket): Could not connect to server @ port -1 OR RingBuffer::RingBuffer(): Failed to open remote file (bad) OR ASSERT: i = nodes in /usr/lib/qt3/include/qvaluelist.h (372) My main setup parameters and the full logs are found below.

I am setting up my frontend to output video via the VGA output (to drive my HDTV monitory) and svideo (to send to a modulator for the whole house distribution). I want to be able to do the same thing via the audio as well. For my main viewing, I want the digital output (which I have today). But for the signal that is sent to the modulator, that needs to be analog. I know I can switch between the two (I haven't figured out yet how to get mythmusic to send a digital audio, so I have to switch between analog and digital on my receiver when I switch between mythtv and mythmusic), but can both be driven at the same time? If not, is this supported via dual sound cards? In that case, if I have a soundblaster card and integrated sound on the mobo (nvidia nforce), can I just enable the mobo sound and go from there? Any pointers on how to make this happen (especially on an already working system (with the SB))? thanks, phlepper Not too sure on both at the same time, but I would think so. Using alsamixer, I'd think you could adjust volume levels on both outputs and have then both sending audio. But I could be wrong. However, You definitely could use 2 audio cards. It seems a lot of MOBO Man. decide that if you are using a PCI sound, you don't need your onboard sound, and disable it. Asus seems to be this way. So, assuming you have 2 audio cards, you would enable 2 cards in your setup; /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1. You could then control which output was used via alsamixer, specifying the different card using (IIRC) the -c option. Shouldn't be too hard once you figure out how to use the 2 mixers.

Re: [mythtv-users] Will we be watching pictures with background music?
I've been using Myth for almost a year and just upgraded to .18 on FC3 from Knoppmyth R4V4 and A12. I am enormously pleased with it, and very impressed with the advancements in features and the ease of control. I use Myth Music very heavily and what I'd like is if Myth Music would begin playing the active playlist as soon as mythfrontend starts, and only stop if audio is needed for TV or video viewing or shut down manually from the Listen to Music screen. What I'd really like is if the Listen to Music screen would let you send songs to a priority queue in the order you select them, play through the queue, then when it's finished, revert back to the base playlist. I'm just an amateur and I don't even know what would be involved in buiding this, but as someone who has Myth Music playing almost constantly, it's a feature I would prize indeed.

[mythtv-users] Music player + gallery playback software bounty $100 for meeting requirments
Yes it has been talked about a lot, probable suggesting that it's highly desired by a lot of folks :). This is the one thing I miss most from MCE. I'll go so far as to offer a $100 software bounty out of my pocket to anyone (payable via paypal please) who will write/add this feature to the Myth music player (maybe via the visualizer?), or a whole new module or gallery (I don't care that much as long as it works right). It's not much cash compared to the time but maybe it will tip the bucket and push somebody who has been thinking about doing it anyway into action. This bounty will go to the first person to meet the requirements and release something stable and in good working order. This bounty will remain open for Two months from today. Features required: On demand start playback of Gallery after starting music active que/play-list. Have UI elements to adjust what is the start gallery folder. Recursive lookup in gallery allowing pics in sub folders to play. Have UI elements for random or ordered photo play settable Allow GL transitions Allow music song skip/next/back without interrupting photo playback. Must be reasonable simple to install/add to current versions of Myth. Lets say .17 and .18. Particularly KnopMyth (it's my bounty dam it and I'm no rocket scientist with this stuff :) ). All the current standard music playback operations must be supported (random play, repeat/no repeat etc.) Nice but not really required: MP3 overlay tags in a corner at start and end of song Song, album, artist (graphic). It's another MCE-ism but a nice touch. Mapping certain play lists to certain gallery folders (ie starting play list Will trigger a certain montage) Feels like I'm missing something important but I'm drawing a blank.

[mythtv-users] Wireless to HD Frontend
Hi, I'm curious is anyone is using wireless (assume 802.11g) to connect a HD capable front end to a backend. Basically I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 with a nice widesreen, which should be plenty capable of playing HD content, especially with xvmc working. I have myth installed on the machine so I can use my Plextor TV402 box when I travel, since I travel pretty lengthy periods. But when I'm home I'd like to use my box as a frontend to my HD Backent. While I can drop a wire to pretty much any room in my house, I'd perfer the convienence of a wireless connection. What kind of bandwidth is required for HD? is 802.11g wide enough, and if not does anyone know if the Super G or Pre-N wireless AP's and Cards work with their advertised speeds under linux? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Suggested Encoding Rates
I found some video guys here at work, who know a few things about video encoding.

Should i use one of the external transcoding programs instead of mythtranscode? A transcoding to MPEG4 from a DVD will give a much better result than transcoding from a recording from a tuner, because there is less noise on a DVD. Downloaded AVI files are often around 1 Mb/s. I transcode to 1.4 Mb/s which is acceptable quality for me. I also transcode to a resolution of 480x576 because there is not more information than 480 pixels per line in a videosignal. If you transcode to 720x576 (or 720x480) you will loose quality because you use some of the data to preserve quality that is not there. Some are even transcoding to fewer pixel per line. I let my PVR-250 record at 4.5 Mb/s at 480x576 pixels to have a good recording to start from and then I transcode to the mentioned 1.4 Mb/s. However for some special movies I record at 4.5 Mb/s at 720x576 pixels, which I then store in DVD format. I guess that you can find an external transcoding program that will perform better if you let it use more time on it. Nuvexport can f.ex use a noise filter before transcoding. This should improve quality but it also takes more time. Niels Dybdahl ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Suggested Encoding Rates
They probably meant 320x480 (320 pixels/line) and 480 lines. Which is not entirely accurate.. NTSC is analog -- the number of vertical scanlines is fixed at 525, of which 486 are visible, or for convenience sake when dealing with MPEG-type encoding algorithms (which work on blocks of 16) 480. Horizontal 'resolution' is dependant on a variety of factors; source, method of transmission, receiving equipment, etc. You should be able to capture (given that the capture card is of high quality) as much detail as possible from the source (if it is a high-quality picture from a local station received by antenna) with a resolution of 540x480. If you are on cable, depending on the quality of your cable system, 480x480 should capture full detail. Satellite is a different matter. Systems like Bell ExpressVu, Starchoice, Dish and DirecTV are encoded already into MPEG-2 format, usually at a resolution of 480x480 on the regular channels, at (IMO) a far too low bitrate. However, because the receivers only have analog outputs, that signal is converted back to analog NTSC and recaptured by MythTV -- capturing at 480x480 probably won't quite capture the entire resolution, but it's a lost cause, anyway. 352x480 will give you something approximately equivilent to a excellent VHS recording at SP mode. Anythingx240 will be discarding have the scanlines vertically, and will look terrible. Resolutiion does not affect file size, bitrate does. However, if you reduce the resolution, the encoded image will be more similar to the source in terms of artefacts. This is because there are fewer pixels to be compressed into any given bitrate. Also a restriction you should note is that if you want to go to DVD without reencoding, you are limited to the resolutions 352x240, 352x480, 704x480 and 720x480. My personal opinion on the matter of 'what is acceptable quality': I capture everyday recordings at 352x480, with a bitrate of 3150kbps. Some minor artefacts are visible in the image, comparable to satellite (if you consider satellite quality to be acceptable, this bitrate should be fine for you). My high quality setting is 720x480 (yes, this is overkill, but necessary if you want to go to DVD) at a bitrate of IIRC 6200kbps. This should yield an acceptable image, with almost no visible artefacts when viewed on an SDTV. (think premium satellite channel). You might find this chart interesting: http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/tutorial/bitrate.html .. though because the Hauppauge cards do not have the benefit of being able to do 2-pass encoding (and the encoder, while good, is not the best), you'll find that you'll need a slightly higher bitrate than the chart indicates. For example, I consider 3150kbps to be on the low end of good at 352x480 when encoded with the PVR-350). -- Ian Trider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'm thinking no, but it's almost worth trying. Could I hurt anything by using it? Thanks Tom Look at the fine print on the bottom: Note: Your video source must provide a YPbPr component video signal from the HD15 port to use this cable. That cable is no different from BNC breakout cables that provide RGBHV... just that it has RCA ends on it and relies on the Green signal to be the Y (and have composite sync on it). I did a little 'net research this morning and concluded the following: - EIA 770.1 and 770.2 define 480i and 480p analog component signals. I'm pretty sure that they allow unipolar sync signals like standard video. - EIA 770.3 (and SMPTE-274M) define HDTV analog component. Colorspace is *slightly* different, and the sync is definately defined to be bipolar. Basically, you could use one of those cables to get component out of RGB if it'll do sync on green. Most vid cards that do sync on green are unipolar, I think, so it'd be abusing the spec. It might work on some TV's and not others. What you really want is a vid card that is smart enough to tell the computer it's doing Xv colorspace transformation, to get the YUV data... then not actually do it and barf out the YPbPr the three DACs. The sync should also be correct. In other words... not likely. * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Right now we're surviving because most HDTV is on broadcast channels which we can tune with Myth.

I noticed the same thing with downloaded files vs. files captured from my pvr 150, but even when i use mythtranscode to convert them to mpeg-4, i can get downloaded AVI files that look much better and are smaller. Should i use one of the external transcoding programs instead of mythtranscode? There's a possibility that a standalone encoder might work better than whatever mythtranscode uses (I don't have much experience with mythtranscode as I edit and reencode to MPEG-2 to make DVDs). It's also possible that the AVIs you're downloading were captured from a cleaner source than whatever is feeding your PVR-150. i'm not sure if 'Transcode' is used within Myth for transcoding. it can be found at sourceforge and is used in several other video type projects. it looks like it's pretty powerful but also looks to be complex. it does have the cool feature of distributed transcoding though. :) so you could split up your job over several machines to speed things up. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I'm thinking no, but it's almost worth trying. You can build your own cable, or buy this one (or others) but it's just a cable. This means that the video card must be capable of outputting the signal as a component signal. Any ATI Radeon 8500 or above has the hardware to do this, and I think the 6-series nVidia cards can as well. In Windows with a Radeon it only takes a registry entry to enable it if you're using late-ish drivers. I'd assume one could do something similar with the nVidias under Windows. However I doubt if the Linux drivers for ATI or nVidia have this implemented. Could I hurt anything by using it? Well, you can't just plug it in and expect it to work. It won't, and you could damage your TV. But if the drivers will output component signals AND you create the proper modelines, then no, it won't hurt a thing, it'll just work. The big if is the Linux drivers, and I dunno enough about them to say. Someone else, maybe?

[mythtv-users] Playback/seeking strangeness
I understand there are currently some ongoing 0.17+ issues with playback which may or may not be codec, hardware or performance related, and just wanted to find out if this explains the rather bizarre symptoms I'm getting. To summarise: 1. During watching tv (no recording) All is good. Seeking (timeshit) is fine, playback is fine. 2. During live playback (when playing back a show that is currently being recorded): Seeking is fine. Playback is substantially faster than recording. If I'm tailing the live feed by about 10 seconds, it takes about 40 seconds for playback to catch up, and then it stalls for a few seconds or exits to the recordings interface telling me the recording has ended (it hasn't). 3. During playback of shows where recording has completed: The initial ffwd works (ie I can jump forwards 6 seconds). Then seeking doesn't work. Trying to seek or jump causes sporadic pauses and sometimes freezes. In addition, the show duration changes wildly. Sometimes it sits near what I imagine it should be and oscillates by 1 second. Othertimes it just goes nuts. A few times I've had it go up to several hundred hours. I can't actually seek there, of course Playback skips forward by (I estimate) 2-4 seconds every now and then, basically cutting slices out of the show. Anyway the end result is, unfortunately, a fairly useless pvr. I've tried dabbling with libmpeg2, video timebase and extra audio buffering options without luck. XvMC is constantly off. Mplayer plays and seeks the recordings fine, although the 2-4 second skipping is still present. I'm running a P4 2.4Ghz, GeForce4MX with VisionPlus DTV with the current 0.18 release. It did work fine with 0.16. Are these common problems or is there something very unhealthy with my setup? thanks ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
