[mythtv-users] Configuring the idle DVB channel? Mythtv-setup problem?
When a DVB card is not in use (e.g. for recording or liveTV) and the DVB on demand option is not used, both of my DVB cards tune to channel 3. What i'd prefer is for them to tune to channel 1 (since the mux associated with channel 1 has complete guide data, whilst the mux associated with channel 3 does not!). So the question is, how do I configure this?

Re: [mythtv-users] Configuring the idle DVB channel? Mythtv-setup problem?
Run mythtvsetup then choose Input -- Select input connection -- change Starting channel in the setup page. The problem with this is that it gets reset each time you change the channel to the currently tuned one. As my original positing said, i've already tried this and it doesn't appear to make a difference to the channel that's tuned when the card is idle. This setting only seems to affect which channel is tuned on next entry to livetv. This seems to be related to the channel crawling feature that's been muted, i.e the DVB code would when mythtv was idle tune to each of the channels and attempt to update the EPG. However it's not bubbled to the top of the list yet. Indeed it does seem related, although i'm only looking for the basic functionality of being able to specify a single channel that will be used when the card is idle. I think the consensus seems to be that this currently requires a manual database tweak rather than being configurable through any GUI (would be nuice if you could confirm this, I was half expecting to need to change a hard-coded value in the source). If there is a work-around then i'll happily use that until the channel crawling functionality becomes a reality.

I intend it to be purely a backend, but until I am ready to build a WAF-ready frontend, I am using it as a frontend for testing purposes. To that end, I bought an nVidia FX5200 card (Asus). Thus, the specs are: Athlon XP 2000+, 256MB RAM, Asus A7V8X-X mainboard, nVidia FX 5200, and two HD-3000 cards, running Suse 9.3 (with pcHDTV 2.0 DVB drivers, xine-lib 1.0.1 instead of the crippled Suse version, latest nVidia drivers XvMC, XvMCW 0.9.3, and Myth 0.18.1). I can record shows, and use xine to playback the individual .nuv files. So I know playback works, and XvMC works. (Otherwise, an XP 2000 would not be able to playback 720i smoothly.) If a 1800+ can play back 720p smoothly (ie, my machine) in non-Xv mode, why would a 2000+ not be able to?

I would really like a clock/date (that's constantly updated ...) on the menu screens, and possibly on the OSD too. It's a useful feature on my cable box (apart from the guide OSD seems to have been written by a couple of engineers with no clue) but something which is seemingly lacking in mythtv and I think most people if not all would agree to. Widescreen support is also something that would be nice, although it seems to display quite nicely already on my 16:9 TV. Something else I'd like (perhaps on a theme-independent level) is a setup menu in the frontend that actually lets you select which key menu items appear (watch tv, recordings, phone etc) and their ordering on-screen, without having to manually edit the xml pages. IMO, the more that can be done in the GUI-driven frontend, the more desirable the mythtv solution will become. I've been using this theme for a while now, and I love its clean and colourful look.

Re: [mythtv-users] Configuring the idle DVB channel? Mythtv-setup problem?
Seems like DVB for HD3000 card in newer releases has some issues. I've posted a thread in the myth-dev list. The starting channel always get reset as pointed out by John. The channel up/down doesn't show all the subchannels. I'm not sure if Issac is aware of the DVB issues as he claims everything is working. Apparently its not and 100s of HD3000 users can vouch for that by looking at the lists of questions being posted in this list and and on the pchdtv forum. Also, sometimes, when I've done several stops/starts of backend, and try to watch frontend, I get green blobs on the screen for all the channels. There is some picture, but majority of the screen is covered with green moving blobs. By doing a few more backend restarts or sometimes rebooting the system make these go away. The backend starts complaining about uncorrectable errors on ALL the channels. These were the same channels which were fine 1 min ago. If I try to record them and play them while they are being recorded I dont see any blobs. I can it may be an issue only with Watch LiveTV. I hope the wonderful DVB dev team can find some cycles to fix these minor issues :-) Is there any DVB list where I can post these issues ? Some of these are myth related and others may be DVB only issues. Thanks Mudit On 6/2/05, Stephen Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Run mythtvsetup then choose Input -- Select input connection -- change Starting channel in the setup page. The problem with this is that it gets reset each time you change the channel to the currently tuned one. As my original positing said, i've already tried this and it doesn't appear to make a difference to the channel that's tuned when the card is idle. This setting only seems to affect which channel is tuned on next entry to livetv. This seems to be related to the channel crawling feature that's been muted, i.e the DVB code would when mythtv was idle tune to each of the channels and attempt to update the EPG. However it's not bubbled to the top of the list yet. Indeed it does seem related, although i'm only looking for the basic functionality of being able to specify a single channel that will be used when the card is idle. I think the consensus seems to be that this currently requires a manual database tweak rather than being configurable through any GUI (would be nuice if you could confirm this, I was half expecting to need to change a hard-coded value in the source). If there is a work-around then i'll happily use that until the channel crawling functionality becomes a reality.

Please let me know whether you use the theme and if yes, what you would like to have as a new feature in it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Abandoned with Xbox?
I've got a nicely functioning .16 backend and a xbox front end running .16 built off this distro http://bit.blkbk.com/ from Dennis Cartier. I used the .0.4.4 code. I'd like to upgrade, but after reading the posts here, I'm not real confident that I can take the xbox to .18 without losing major plugins. Whats the real deal? has Dennis abondoned this project? has anyone really had success with xfedora and myth? I don't see much detail on xfedora or Dennis' build anywhere in regards to .18. I've tried to upgrade the xbox per the upgrade doc with no luck and not real sure about trying again without someone from the project talking about a supported path. Evil-Barney I was running 0.16 last week on a setup that included a server a few PC frontends and an XBox. I upgraded all the systems using apt successfully to 0.18. The mythweather plug in on the XBox needed a little more attention. Another annoying bit was that the mythtv package insisted on installing mysql, mythbackend and mythtv-database, but I just apt-get remove'd mysql afterwards and everything is running nicely now. I just did an apt-get update followed by apt-get install mythtv on the XBox. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Once I did, I was surprised at how much functionality it had. It will do cutting, and when it does so it parses the stream and tries to correct varying A/V offsets after the first cut.

Updated transcode, ffmpeg and nuvexport all to no avail. the error I get is a could not find codec parameters error, and I have copied some information below which includes the error from when I ran nuvexport with the debug option [snip] /tmp/fifodir_4713/vidout: could not find codec parameters That usually means that ffmpeg was not compiled with the proper codec support. You might have to compile ffmpeg manually if you want it to work. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Problem: Mythmusic randomly skipping forward during mp3 playback
Quite an odd one here, so I'm hoping other users may have seen this. Problem has been there since using 0.16 and now on 0.18.1, installations having used atrpms.net for installation of mythtv and deps. ALSA is 1.0.8, via SPDIF. I haven't really used mythmusic for playback until very recently, having otherwise tested it for a few seconds to make sure it was working. During playback of mp3s in mythmusic, occasionally the track will skip forward, sometimes by up to 30s or onto the next track in the playlist, before returning to normal playback. The music plays perfectly on my Win2K box in Winamp, and I do not have other audio playback issues under myth (either live tv, recordings or via mythvideo). This doesn't happen on every track, and sometimes if I skip back to the point where the skip occured, it plays with no problems. Quite an annoyance, as it makes listening to music infuriating. If I can provide any more info, please holler. I've not tried playback of non-mp3 material such as Ogg as my CD collection is all ripped into mp3, but if there's a known issue and suitable fix (couldn't see one on gossamer) I'd love to hear it.

[mythtv-users] Myxer UPDATE - MyxerCustomizer script which allows you to make it look however you want!
I had only released the theme Myxer last week, and have just updated it with a really cool feature. I made a directory in the theme called 'MyxerCustomizer' which contains a script called 'MyxerCustomizer.sh' When you execute the MyxerCustomizer script (by issuing 'sh MyxerCustomizer.sh' in a terminal) a menu will appear where you can: 1) Select between 4 different background images in 5 different colors 2) Select among 24 different 'Bar' highligting buttons 3) Select among 7 different 'Text' highlighting methods (the text within the highlight bar mentioned above) When you re-launch mythfrontend, you should notice the changes that you picked above. The script also provides an option to reset the above items you have changed back to the default setting. The script has some checking code in it that should prevent you from doing anything really horrible to the theme, so try it out, and let me know if it needs any improvements. Note should be made that Myxer has to reside in either /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/Myxer or /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Myxer right now for the script to work. The available graphics in this update are pretty basic. I hope to provide some nicer options in the future. The script has a feature where users can try out thier own graphics, and submit them to me for inclusion in the Myxer theme. I really hope to get some people excited about this, where the Myxer theme could have several 'User-defined' favorite skins in the future! Have fun, and don't poke too much fun at me if you look inside the actual script (its my first script ever... he he he) Heres the URL: http://lisadaveh.home.comcast.net/myxer/ Have Fun Myxing it up!

[mythtv-users] Reboots, lockups, and Losing Audio - 18.1
I've got a rather strange issue that cropped up after upgrading to 18.1. I'm running two PVR-250s and a PVR-500MCE on FC3. After about a week of running fine, my box rebooted while watching recording in progress the other night. Since then, it has twice hung while watching recordings in progress. I have not yet seen the same behavior with pre-recorded shows, or live TV (never watch live TV anymore, so I probably won't be able to test this). After each reboot, I have no audio. So, I open Kmix and both Master and PCM volume are muted. If I unmute them, audio starts. However, as soon as I use my remote, audio stops. I ALT-TAB to Kmix, and Master and PCM are still NOT muted. But muting/unmuting the Master volume brings my audio back. So, a few questions: Anyone seen anything similar to any of these issues? I'm thinking the reboot and lockups might be related, and the audio is possibly a result of the upgrade. In an effort to try and 'quick fix' the reboot lockup issue, I decided to upgrade my capture card drivers using atrpms testing branch. Upgrade was successful, and seems to fix some of my other small video issues. However, my last lockup just happened a few hours after the upgrade. Any ideas what might be causing this or where I should look to troubleshoot? I obviously need to have Kmix save it's settings. I've been reading through the Kmix handbook, and have also done a google search, but everything I read seems to point to menu options that are not available. In the Kmix File menu, my only option is 'ALT-Q = Quit'. How do I save my Kmix settings?

The mythweather plug in on the XBox needed a little more attention. Another annoying bit was that the mythtv package insisted on installing mysql, mythbackend and mythtv-database, but I just apt-get remove'd mysql afterwards and everything is running nicely now. I just did an apt-get update followed by apt-get install mythtv on the XBox. I used the .0.4.5-beta scripts with v1.1.0 of Xebian and it worked fine for me. I did this after Mythtv .18 was in the debian repositories. My backend and xbox frontend are running .18 fine. But yes I think the project has not had much attention lately, but it still works.

Re: [mythtv-users] [REQUEST] MythCenter theme update wishlist
I use it - as you know, I'm a big fan. I guess things I would like to see are: - longer list of menu items before you have to scroll down to the ones out of view - OSD in the same theme Apart from that it's pretty much perfect already! Look forward to seeing the next incarnation. One more thing I thought of - the maximum number of charcters in the menu items is quite low compared to some other themes. So, for example, if you install MythStream you get a menu item that says Play Internet rather than Play Internet Streams. Re the OP's comment on the boxes around the icons - I like them.

[mythtv-users] Audio loss during playback with Encrypted VOB file!
Twice in the past month, I've been watching a recorded TV show when it has suddenly lost audio. I dug up the .nuv file and played it with mplayer, and it had audio all the way through. However, at the exact point at which MythTV loses audio, mplayer spits out: Encrypted VOB file! Read DOCS/HTML/en/dvd.html MythTV doesn't produce any special messages when running in verbose mode. It simply stops writing audio to the sound card at that point. I tried skipping past the problem, saving a position, and restarting playback, but no good: MythTV won't play any audio from that point in the file onward. The two shows to experience this problem were different, but from the same channel (Channel 10). I capture digital TV in Australia using a DVB card. With one of the shows, the error is precisely between two advertisements. My system specs: MythTV 18.0, mplayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5-20050130, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel, nvidia 1.0.7174, alsa:spdif output.

Re: [mythtv-users] total linux newb trying to do manual knoppmyth install
On 6/2/05, Alex Van Deusen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried posting this in the Knopmyth forums but no one responded. So I figure I would ask the myth experts. I would follow the guide Jarod puts out but it seems like a lot of work. nothing in the Linux world is ever easy. ;) but it's worth the work. I am trying to do a master backend knoppmyth manual install. The reason I need to do a manual install is because of my hardware configuration. I have a server that I am going to install the following. 9gig Ultra 160 scsi hard drive, on integrated ultra scsi 7890 RAID controller. (2) 250 ide 7200 hard drive, ide 1 (1) DVD writer/reader ide 2 (3) PCHDTV cards (2) PVR 250 (1) ATI 9600xt graphics card ( I plan to remove since I wont really need to run graphics or sound on the backend) 256 megs of RDRAM (plan to increase if i have to.) 1ghz coppermine processor I booted off the knoppix cd and it ran the setup scripts. I did get some wierd errors on the IDE drives but it detected everything. do you already have this hardware? i hope you didn't just run out and buy it for Myth; not that that's a bad thing. just that it seems like you've got some stuff you don't really need for a MythBackend... I selected the manual install option and ran the disk partition program. It sees the scsi drive and the ide drives but this is where I have questions. I read through the manual install guidelines but I am still not 100% clear on a few things. the KnoppMyth forum is probably the best place to get KnoppMyth specific questions answered. if you don't get a response to your question look it over and make sure you are asking it clearly and are clearly stating your intentions. a lot of posts get ignored because ppl don't really understand what the questioner is really looking for. also make sure you check out the KnoppMyth wiki: http://knoppmythwiki.org The scsi drive will be sda1 with partitions for / swap since you do have three drives you may want to use one for all your Linux related system stuff, swap and your cache (ringbuffer). maybe your scsi drive for that. What else should I put on this and are they all physical and not logical? that's up to you, actually, both are up to you. since you have multiple drives i would set one up as your system/swap/cache drive and then lvm the other two as your /myth partition. or the other two could be set up independently as /myth/tv and /myth/video for movies... you've got all kinds of options. :) For myth and all the video do I put this on the ide drives? How do I setup the partitions If I want to use LVM ( to add drives later) what file system do i use xfs, ext something else. i'm using XFS on my /myth partitions. there is a pretty good how-to in the knoppmythwiki that explains setting up LVM. it is actually pretty easy. Can someone give me a step by step configuration for the drives and the proper partitions? hmm, first i think you need to figure out what you really want to do. what are you going to use this system for? anything other than Myth? if you really don't have any Linux experiece you may be better off starting off by setting up a basic combo frontend/backend machine and trying it out. once you feel comfortable navigating the filesystem, reading logs, etc you can create a separate backend to play with. there's no right way to do it, this is just the approach i'm taking. i think a lot of ppl will be hesitant to give you a step by step for anything until they're clear on exaclty what you're looking for; not because they don't want to help, but because there 'are' so many different configurations that will work. i hope this has been somewhat helpful. :) andy ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] problems with 6/1 CVS, can't FFWD/RWD, long time accessing tuner, some segfaulting
Further poking has yielded more problems with the 6/1. The ffwd rewind is really seriously totally completely borked... as in it sends me back several seconds from where I started ffwd/rwd every time I press play. It's totally useless. Also, sometimes at the ends of recordings, it just hangs at a black screen. /me goes back to 0.18.1. :) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Its stretched like its extending but there is no output on the second monitor (i see half of the picture). Any ideas would be appreciated. The problem is that overlays are only supported on a single head of any current dual-headed card (A hardware limitation, not a software one). Until this situation changes, you will have to restrict Myth to using the primary head of the card only (Using the Gui Size options to restrict the size of the application and/or the rendering window).

[mythtv-users] Help: issues in trying to enable DMA on hard drives for mythtv...
Hello All, After a lot of work I have finally have my Mythtv box running. Thanks for all the great guides that are out there. Partically the one that was written by Jarod Wilson and Jani Talikka (for the Dvico HDTV digital card setup). I followed Jani Talikka's guide pretty closely to get my box running. One of the remaining problems that I have is the Live TV output is jerky. After searching the net I think this is related to me not being able to get the drives to use DMA. If I record anything the play back seems to be ok. So first up I will give a little info and see how we go.

[mythtv-users] HD-3000 and ATRPMS - Configuration?
Hi! I'm pretty new to linux, but I have had good success getting MythTV running on FC3 via Jarod's how-to. I am trying to get an HD-3000 card to work. I see on his how-to, and a few times in this forum, that Jarod recommends using the atrpms for linuxtv-dvb for the HD-3000(available on the testing site). I've installed those, but am having a hard time getting the HD-3000 to work (and, in fact, have lost the ability to use my PVR-500MCE). In all the searching, I have not been able to get a clear sense of what I should be adding to my modprobe.conf and any other files for the HD-3000. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do (er, should've done) after I installed the atrpms packages? Thanks!
