Re: [mythtv-users] recording a specific episode anytime?

 I too would like to see a Find and record one episode option for
 scheduling recordings.  I realize I am probably in the minority
 here, but I enjoy watching shows such as Modern Marvels and
 History's Mysteries on The History Channel.  Because the subjects
 of the shows vary greatly (from Tanks to Nature's Engineers), I
 don't want to record every single episode (sometimes 7+ per day).
 Currently, every two weeks I go through the upcoming episodes and
 mark the ones I want as Record only this showing, even though
 each episode may have 2 or 3 air times.  I then have to go back
 through all the marked episodes and manually correct conflict
 problems (i only have one input source, fun fun).

I think you're doing this sub-optimally.

Instead of Record only this showing, choose Find and record one
showing (it's called something like that), so if Tanks is showing 3
times over the next 2 weeks, it can pick any one of them.

I do this all the time for recording weekend movies and PBS
documentaries (granted, there are not multiple broadcasts of network
movies, but PBS documentaries are usually broadcast a few times).

Much easier to browse the two weeks for the few you want, instead of
deselecting the 30 you don't want ...

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 and playing DVD's

[mogens lunde]

I did a dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k count=50
Also a ctrl+c, but this didn't seem neccesary as the comand ended itself 
after a few seconds with this output:

1+49 records in
1+49 records out
and a very short audio output through my TV's speakers.

But still no xv (Your x server doesn't supportYV12 overlays (repeated 
twice), Your x server doesn't have any XVideo support :(


My recording profiles for Default, Live, High and low quality are all 
set to 720 x 480.


How can I make sure that I have the correct ivtvdev driver installed?

Thanks

[mythtv-users] What is adding channels to my DVB setup ?

[Michael Carmody]

I have configured my MythTV box with a DVICO Fuson HDTV DVB card that is 
working a treat with an VIA MII 1 board. But for some reason after about 
a week of running, all the other channels in a multiplex start appearing in 
my epg. In australia most of the commericical stations have 3-4 channels but 
they are are duplicates. So to reduce clutter, I never added them. But 
something is adding them, and I want to find out what it is and kill it.

Does mythtv detect extra channels on the digital mutiplexed broadcast and add 
them automatically ?
I'm sick of deleting them from my channels config. I'm sure this feature would 
be great for most people, but it is highly annoying at the moment. Anybody 
have any ideas as to what is causing this ?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 and playing DVD's

My Xorg.0.log tells me that:
Version of ivtv is too old to support Xv

So it seems as if I somehow do not use an updated version of 
ivtv/ivtvdev, but I do not quite understand this as I did copy Johns 
ivtvdev_drv.o. The Xorg.0.log reports the below when reading the 
ivtvdev_drv.o file:

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o
(II) Module ivtv: vendor=The XFree86 Project
   compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 0.10.1
   ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6

Where can I see the release version of ivtvdev? The ivtv itself is being 
reported as 0.2.0 (rc3j) in /var/log/messages

 On the same page, can anyone tell me if PIP works for all TVs?? I have

If you have more than 1 tuner card in your myth system, then PIP

Re: [mythtv-users] recording a specific episode anytime?

 Is there a way to get myth to record a specific episode (title and
 subtitle must match) but let it choose which showing to record (in
 order to accommodate other recordings)?
 
 Bruce Markey [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
 
  None of the rule types look at the subtitle for a match. The only

 Ok, that's what I originally thought.
 
 I often find I want to record a specific episode of a show, but don't
 care when it gets recorded, and I suspect others might like to do this
 sometimes.  If any developers are following, do you think a patch that
 adds a FindOneEpisode recording rule would be accepted?  Any pointers
 for where to start digging?  (I'm not promising that I'll do it, but
 I'll try...)

I think this was solved earlier this week when Brad Templeton launched
hos new TVWish program on this mailing list. This lets you tell MythTV
to records specific episodes of programs whenever it sees them in the
program guide. You can list one or many episodes for as many programs
as you like. It's a great piece of software. You can find all the info

The packages you quoted are not 100% the ones at ATrpms. Did you test

[mythtv-users] Re: Wrong time in tv listings and program finder

[Lukasz W]

There was an issue with new versions of Qt and Myth pre-.18, that caused
problems with daylight savings time. You don't say what version of Myth
you are using, but that could be the problem.

If you update to .18, you will need to dump the program schedule and
load it again to fix the schedules.

If you are using .18, then I don't know...

Thanks, I have 0.18. Funny thing is that some programs are duplicated
with names like '1044' with program guide shown properly, what is it?

about getting this one for my myth box.

I'm sick of the rebate bullsh*t that every box store seems to want to do.
Half the time you get nothing, the other half you wait 4 months for a
rejection letter because you didn't cross your t's and dot your i's.  I'll
patronize stores that don't require me to jump through hoops to save money,
thanks.
   



I can completely understand your opinion.  But just to put in a little bit of 
my own experience, I have to say that WD has been very good with their 
rebates.  Circuit city has as well.  So between the two of them I feel very 
confident in receiving my money.  I actually just got two emails last week 
confirming my rebate requests for a drive I bought not to long ago - one from 
each company, and my rebate requests were done by mail, not electronically.  
I never get email confirmations from other places.


Anyway, the last 4 or 5 hard drives I've bought have all been WD drives that I 
got from rebates, and I have received my money every time without a single 
hassle.  I for one will continue to buy these drives.  They have worked (and 
are all still working) wonderful for me, and I've gotten them all at killer 
prices.


On the other hand, I got screwed by Frys on two different products that I 
purchased on the same day, with the same reason - I didn't include the 
original UPC barcode, which is complete BS.  But, I didn't follow their 
recommendation of keeping copies of everything, so I blamed myself mostly.  
I'm sure calling them up and putting a little pressure on them would've 
worked too, but oh well.


If you just follow the directions and keep copies as proof, they can't deny 
you the rebate.


~Lou
 

I've heard from several people on other forums that they've called 
Seagate, WD and others and the CS
rep said that it was company policy to deny rebates unless you called 
and complained.  I'd say your experience
was very lucky.  I hope it stays that way for you.  I just don't want 
the hassle.

  questions about some of the setup options.
 
 So, if you're new to MAME, check out http://mameworld.net
 
  post XMAME install setup
 
 download and install gxmame. It's a good non-myth frontend and useful
 as well to  test xmame. gxmame is similar to the mame32 GUI for
 Windows.
 
 http://gxmame.sourceforge.net
 
  mkdir ~/.xmame
  cp docs/xmamerc.dist ~/.xmame/xmamerc
 
  use your favorite editor to edit ~/.xmame/xmamerc
  You need to set some paths in the ### Fileio Related ### section
  rompath /mythtv/games/xmame/roms
  snapshot_directory.
  cheat_file/mythtv/games/xmame/cheat.dat
  hiscore_file/mythtv/games/xmame/hiscore.dat
  history_file/mythtv/games/xmame/history.dat
  mameinfo_file/mythtv/games/xmame/mameinfo.dat
 
 ... or use gxmame to configure these values and verify them afterwards
 by editing xmamerc
 
 Technically, the best way to do this is to use the default directories
 as defined at buildtime for xmame and then not hardode the patch in
 either xmamerc or mythtv
 
  now it is time to test XMAME before we attempt to get it running
  inside MythTV
  place your ROM in the roms directory you created earlier
 
 or the default directory
 
  there are plenty of online places to purchase legit ROMs for use with
  MAME. There are also places that will take your old cartridges and
  transfer the ROMs to CDs for you.
 
 and there are a 3 public domain rom sets avilable here:
 http://www.mame.net/downmisc.html
 
  launch xmame with the classic game of choice, gauntlet for me!
  xmame.x11 gauntlet
 
 NOTE: depending on how you compiled xmame, you could have an xmame.x11
 or xmame.SDL or xmame.xgl depending on what graphics toolkits are
 used. If you have some time, try them and see which one works best for
 you.
 
 I like to symlink xmame to whatever xmame binaries I'm using at the
 moment, and I like to version the xmame binaries when I update so that
 I can roll back to a working one if there is any problem or
 compatibility issue with mythtv.
 
 Sometimes, I notice that I need to remove and recreate xmamerc after
 upgrading xmame since default options change
 
  after OK'ing the ownership screen, the info screen and the caveats
  screen. you can start playing.
 
 there are options to disable these that can be set in xmamerc
 
 NOTE also, OK can be entered as leftright as well
 
  TAB will bring up a OSD, On Screen Display, which will show you the
  keyboard settings.
  ~ will help you with the volume
  ESC will get you out of it.
 
 Here's the general basic info you need to know to use xmame from the keyboard:
 
 5 = insert coin
 1 = player 1 start
 arrow keys = movement
 left control = button 1
 left alt = button 2
 spacebar = button 3
 esc = exit
 
 
  3. download and place files (artwork/catver.ini/etc..)
 
 and screenshots - these are stored in the 'snap' directory with the
 rest of your mame subdirs (NOTE: you need to tell mythgame about where
 this directory is in the mythgame config
 
 get screenshots from here:
 
 http://www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa/
 
 unzip into the snap directory
 
  MAME image downloader Huh old?
 yes.. old
 
  Show game infoshow info about the game, ie:year,
  maker, CPU, sound, screen resolution before staring game
 
 for game info , I would delete sorting by year and just use genre
 
  ok i still have the following questions. most are pretty basic like
  what does this file do?
 
  1. while editing ~/.xmame/xmamerc there is an option for a
  snapshot_directory is this different, or should it be different
  than the MAME screenshots path in mythgame setup inside mythfrontned.
 
 the screenshots in mame historically go into a dir called 'snap' for snapshots
 
  2. I'm confused about all the paths to files and how they are used.
  such as:
  a. why is there a hiscores path, and also a hiscore file.
 
 per game hiscore files are saved in hiscores directory
 
 the hiscores.dat file defines how individual games store their hiscore
 information so that it can be saved to files in the hiscore directory
 by xmame
 
  b. flyers and cabinets.  how are these used? again please excuse the
  newbie here. Are flyers like movie posters, they show up when
  browsing? If so then where does that put screenshots? i guess i'm
  looking for some clarity between the flyers, screenshots, snapshots
  and cabinets. I found a site that is all arcade flyers http://
  www.arcadeflyers.net
 
 mythgame doesn't use the flyers and cabinet files

In mythtv-setup/mythtvsetup in the channels section have you ticked Use on

Yep

 I'm sick of deleting them from my channels config. I'm sure this feature would
 be great for most people, but it is highly annoying at the moment. Anybody
 have any ideas as to what is causing this ?

You can set the channels to be invisible by setting the field
visible to 0 in the channel table of the mythconverge database. You
can also use the mythweb interface to do this. Not sure if you can
do it in the main mythtv gui or not...

[mythtv-users] nvram-wakeup manual backend shutdown

[Nils Emil]

Hello

With mythtv-setup I can configure the backend to shut down the computer 
automatically after an idle period. In the same setup-screen the backend 
can be configured to run a wake-up command before shutting down 
automatically. This works perfectly with my nvram-wakeup script.


But what if I want to shut down the computer manually - for example be 
logging out of KDE and halting? Can I make the backend run the nvram-wakeup 
script before exiting?


Thank you

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 and playing DVD's

[mythtv]

I need to upgrade my ivtv from 0.2.0 to eg. 0.3.5z to try solving my xv 
problem. Making a tar of 0.3.5z and copying and renaming ivtvdev_drv_0 
to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o does not solve the xv 
problem. I guess that I need to install the entire ivtv 0.3.5z package. 
But how?
Basically I'm a little afraid that if this doesn't work, that I may 
need  to go back to 0.2.0. I hope someone could advise on how to proceed 
with this.


Thanks,

[mythtv-users] capture card suddenly doesn't work

[Greg Woods]

I am running mythtv-0.18.1-112.rhfc3.at on Fedora Core 3 (installed from
the at-stable repository via yum). I have a pcHDTV-3000 card with the
1.5 version of the driver (the only one I could get to work).

I am literally tearing my hair out over this. I had it working last
night; I even did a delayed recording just to verify that all of that
stuff worked too. Everything looked good. Now the capture card has
suddenly stopped working. All I did was stop and restart mythbackend,
and everything is broken. I have tried rebooting. I have tried dropping
the mythconverg database and completely rebuilding it. Nothing has
helped.

The output from dmesg shows that the driver is loaded and the card is
recognized:

But if I fire up the myth-frontend and try to watch TV, I get this in
the log:

2005-06-05 09:05:04.903 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV

After this, myth-frontend will return to the initial screen, but if I
hit ESC and try to exit, it hangs (borderless window, zero response
within window) and I have to kill it.

Is there anything I can do to debug or diagnose this short of starting
all the way over from scratch? Anybody seen anything like this before?

Thanks for any help,

[mythtv-users] Channels not assigned to proper stations

Most channels are missing altogether.  Those that are present are
misassociated with their station i.e. channel 11 actually has tennis on

similar problems?  I don't think it's a problem with the tuner setup

[mythtv-users] Portable processes in place?

Where is MythTV at with regards to syncing portable devices?

http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/5002/archosdvr.html



Im only new to Myth (my new 19 server arrived
yesterday, now I need to do the hardware shuffle moving everything down 1) but
it would seem if the processes for this can be put in place early we could capitalize
by people looking for automated syncing of content.

Yesterday datadirect failed on me and my guide data

Re: [mythtv-users] dumb question: how to cut off commercial having cutlist?

[Mudit Wahal]

I also have similar question, but relating to HD recordings.

I've recorded OTA programs in HD using the HD3000 card. I'd like to
keep the mpeg2-ts stream but edit the commercials. When I play the
file in myth, its doing commercial skipping. I dont have a cutlist
file per se (dont know how to create it).

Is there any program/scripts which will pull the comm. frame
information from the database, edit the mpeg2-ts stream, cut the
commercials and create a new mpeg2-ts file ?

I'd like to keep the final file also in the TS format, but just
without commercials. All the tools I've looked so far with work on
mpeg files produced by pvr-xxx models (nuvexport etc) or will
transcode the TS stream to divx (mythtranscode).

Thanks

Mudit

Re: [mythtv-users] Clearing MythMusic database/metadata

[Evil Barney]

Hey Mike, 

I had some issues with that as well.  I'd recommend that you let some
program do the file naming for you.  I used a couple including itunes,
and some freeware rippers.  mythmusic needs this structure:

/artist/album/song1.mp3

I found rippers that called to CDDB are helpful and can sometimes
rename your files for you.  if your folder structure is off, it might
suck.  best luck I had was using rippers that put the mp3s in that
structure.  for one off mp3s, I had to make sure they followed the
structure, even if I did not have the whole album.

I also had good look with a ID3 tag editor for files that would not
name automatically.  a google for ID3 editor will turn up a bunch. 
last thing I throw out, I just found a CD cover image finder that
works well, I'd recommend trying to find one of those as well.

Re: [mythtv-users] Not downloading movie posters

[Evil Barney]

I had that issue too.  there is a new perl script out that will fix
that.  on your settings for video, you will see a setting that calls
to your imdb.pl file.  I believe I found the few one on this forum
somewhere.  once found, backup/replace the old one and make sure the
settings name matches the new file name.  if you can't find it, let me
know and I'll post mine up.

The particularly odd portion of this is that if XvMC output is
attempted several times repeatedly (with mythtv for example), it

a single X session, it will work until X is restarted, or logged out
of. At this point the 8-25 trick has to be tried again.  This
problem is particularly annoying (especially until I found this
workaround), since I can't watch any HD content that I record.



So if you disable XvMC, you can't watch any HD content?

I thought all AMD64 CPUs would be beefy enough to do so ... I've been
using --disable-xvmc with the old nvidia drivers (7174 I think) and
have been able to watch HD fine on an Athlon64 3500+.

I've never had any success with XvMC, but I've never had the patience
to try something that fails 3 times in a row, let alone 7-24 times in
a row :)

Thats the kind of odd part for me, HD content works fine at maybe 60-80
cpu through mplayer or xine.  Through myth I can think of two times that
HD played using Xv at 80 percent cpu.  Every other time i've tried with
Xv in myth i'd encounter 100 percent cpu usage all by myth.

I've often seen this on my system as well (AMD64, HD-3000 on DVB, no
XvMC, 7174 drivers, FX5200 to DVI out).

Hasn't bothered me enough (yet) to complain about.

I think there were some recent patches posted on -dev to address
something related to OSD and different aspect ratios, but I don't know
if it was for this squishing, or some other reported problem of the

 suddenly stopped working. All I did was stop and restart mythbackend,
 and everything is broken. I have tried rebooting. I have tried dropping
 the mythconverg database and completely rebuilding it. Nothing has

 After this, myth-frontend will return to the initial screen, but if I
 hit ESC and try to exit, it hangs (borderless window, zero response
 within window) and I have to kill it.
 
 Is there anything I can do to debug or diagnose this short of starting
 all the way over from scratch? Anybody seen anything like this before?

It looks like it could be that the starting channel for live tv is not
set correctly, and so that card cannot lock to it. If scheduled
recordings work, this would seem likely. If nothing works at all (live
tv or preset recordings) it would follow that the channels setup is
not correct. If you are also trying to watch LiveTV and the last
channel you were watching is now off-air (some UK channels do this
causing live tv to fail) try again when the channel is on-air again
and then try and change channels.

Are you able to use the card outside of Myth? If you can at least this
will narrow the problem down to MythTV.

Sorry I can't help further,

[mythtv-users] live TV blocks mythfrontend

[Franco]

(This is extracted from my previous email)

Since I upgraded FC2 to FC3, live TV doesn't work anymore.
It works a few seconds and then mythfrontend gets stuck.
Note that if I do: 
/usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl 
mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0

I can watch television, and change channels, without problems,
so it doesn't seem an ivtv issue but rather a myth issue... :-(
Ideas? I just read a message from another person with a similar

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythgame setup docs and some questions. LONG

[hary wilke]

Thanks for looking over what i wrote. You cleared up a bunch of  
questions for me. I'll edit what i had and post a second version  
soon, and then if everything looks ok, i'll suggest incorporating  
them into the official docs. I still need to format it so it looks  
more consistent with the rest of the docs.




So, if you're new to MAME, check out http://mameworld.net



great site thanks for the link





post XMAME install setup



download and install gxmame. It's a good non-myth frontend and useful
as well to  test xmame. gxmame is similar to the mame32 GUI for
Windows.

http://gxmame.sourceforge.net




I'll check it out. again thanks. perhaps i'll roll that into my how to.





mkdir ~/.xmame
cp docs/xmamerc.dist ~/.xmame/xmamerc

use your favorite editor to edit ~/.xmame/xmamerc
You need to set some paths in the ### Fileio Related ### section
rompath /mythtv/games/xmame/roms
snapshot_directory.
cheat_file/mythtv/games/xmame/cheat.dat
hiscore_file/mythtv/games/xmame/hiscore.dat
history_file/mythtv/games/xmame/history.dat
mameinfo_file/mythtv/games/xmame/mameinfo.dat



... or use gxmame to configure these values and verify them afterwards
by editing xmamerc

Technically, the best way to do this is to use the default directories
as defined at buildtime for xmame and then not hardcode the patch in
either xmamerc or mythtv



now it is time to test XMAME before we attempt to get it running
inside MythTV
place your ROM in the roms directory you created earlier



or the default directory




ok as for the directories, i was thinking about mythgame in a  
networked context. figuring a local copy of xmame to run on the  
frontend, and storing all the ROMs,artwork,etc. on a shared mount.







launch xmame with the classic game of choice, gauntlet for me!
xmame.x11 gauntlet



NOTE: depending on how you compiled xmame, you could have an xmame.x11
or xmame.SDL or xmame.xgl depending on what graphics toolkits are
used. If you have some time, try them and see which one works best for
you.

I like to symlink xmame to whatever xmame binaries I'm using at the
moment, and I like to version the xmame binaries when I update so that
I can roll back to a working one if there is any problem or
compatibility issue with mythtv.

Sometimes, I notice that I need to remove and recreate xmamerc after
upgrading xmame since default options change




good idea, i'll add a step for numbering the binaries and symlinking

symlink to 'xmame' to save some typing. Your idea will help keep  
things organized also.





after OK'ing the ownership screen, the info screen and the caveats
screen. you can start playing.



there are options to disable these that can be set in xmamerc

NOTE also, OK can be entered as leftright as well



i didn't notice this option in xmamerc, but toggeling the checkbox in  
mythfrontend worked for skipping the nag screen.

[mythtv-users] Commercial skipping stopped working

[Egeekial]

For some reason, my automatic commercial skip just stopped working the

Paul,

Thanks for the advice.  Apparently the magic setting is to turn off
viaXvMC unichrome support.  I'm guessing that unichrome can only decode
a single stream and myth doesn't support mixing software and hardware
decoders.

Thanks for the help.

[mythtv-users] 7+1 audio with alsa, xine and 5+1 DVDs

[Franco]

Hello,

I have a 7+1 soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro)
with 7+1 speakers connected.

Unfortunately, when I watch a 5+1 DVD using xine,
it is NOT upmixed to 7+1 so two speakers remain silent.

Should I change the configuration of xine or alsa
to get the desired effect (and, how do I do it?)

Actually, I'd like to upmix to 7+1 every kind of
audio source, but this seems to automaticaly happen
whith e.g. mythmusic (stereo music always becomes 7+1)
as well as mplayer when playing stereo videos...

I have a FC3 mythbox kept up-to-date with apt-get.

[mythtv-users] Sharing recorded programs

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   How does someone using MythTV at one distant location best share a
recorded program with another MythTV user at another location? If they
burn the nuv file to a DVD and mail it and it be loaded onto the
storage disk for MythTV at the second location and be visible in the
database? These two locations do not have the same cable TV systems so
channel numbers, etc., are completely different.

   Must someone use nuvexport to create mpg files? This may be a bit
technical for some and would still amount to eventually burning a DVD.

   What would be cool would be some sort of reduced bandwidth
streaming solution. Is there a simple way?

Thanks,
Mark

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB channels unwatchable?

[Piers Kittel]

Yes I fixed the problem now.

The issue was that my DVB card is the secondary card on another computer 
- and the start up channel was set to 1, which I assumed to be the 
card's inbuilt channel, but I realised it was supposed to be set to 
MythTV's database channel, which is 2001, put the number in the startup 
and it works lovely now.  Phew!

Re: [mythtv-users] recording a specific episode anytime?

[Matthew Watson]

 Have you considered doing it the other way?  Although you don't want to
 record all of them, you could tell Myth you do want to (All showings on
 Any channel).  Then, go through your Scheduled Recordings and set any
 episodes you don't want to Never Record.  This way, Myth has the
 leeway to choose the most appropriate showing of any particular episode,
 but you don't have to record/delete the ones you don't want.

This does seem like a better way to do it.  It also covers me if I am
out of town or forget to select which ones to record (or don't
record).  It will just record all of them and then I can delete them
when I get around to it.  Thanks for the suggestion.

 Instead of Record only this showing, choose Find and record one
 showing (it's called something like that), so if Tanks is showing 3
 times over the next 2 weeks, it can pick any one of them.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work.  The Find and record one showing
rule only compares the title of the show, and not the subtitle.  Since
all of the titles are Modern Marvels, and Tanks is stored in the
subtitle, it will record the first showing of Modern Marvels
regardless of which episode it is.

 I think this was solved earlier this week when Brad Templeton launched
 hos new TVWish program on this mailing list. This lets you tell MythTV
 to records specific episodes of programs whenever it sees them in the
 program guide. You can list one or many episodes for as many programs
 as you like. It's a great piece of software. You can find all the info
 at http://www.templetons.com/brad/myth/tvwish.html

I must have missed it, but I'll check it out.  Thanks.

[mythtv-users] mythtv GUI lockups

[Pete Stagman]

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I haven't been able to find this issue in the archives. Recently anyway, there are some old messages about old nvidia drivers causing something similar.

Since upgrading to .018 mythtv gui's keep locking up on me. mythfrontend, mythtvsetup both lockup when I try to start them. In mythtvsetup I get the message do you want to clear your card settings? and the channel settings messages, then nothing. I get a background and no further. In mythfrontend I just get the background. I'm not able to do anything from the console.

If I ssh in to the machine then I can poke around and kill X, which is at 98% CPU usage.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

nvidia geforce MX440 AGP

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB card not *quite* working

[Piers Kittel]

Finally fixed this problem my problem was that the DVB card is the 
secondary tuner card, and when it said Change to channel at startup: 
(or whatever it's called) I assumed that it meant the internal channel 
the card is set to, so I put 1 in for BBC1, but it didn't work.  Then 
realised, it was referring to the channel number in the database, and so 
channel 1 is the PVR350's BBC1, so put in 2001 which I have set up for 
the DVB card's BBC1, and it works just fine now!  Phew :)

Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong...?



yes. This seems to me as you entered 1 as the starting channel within the
Input Connections (afair) menu for this connection (card). But, for me
(DVB-S), the channel scanning results in a wild variety of channel numbers
and they do _not_ start at 1.
So, are you sure a channel with the number 1 does exist ?
If not, enter a number of an (after the DVB-scan) existing channel within
mythtv-setup.




I'd be a little bit surprised if it doesn't exist, the scan should
have used the Logical Channel Number code to assign 1 to BBC1.
Worth checking though. (I think Piers did say he was using DVB-T)

The only other thing I can think of is that mythfilldb has messed
things up for you. I'd be tempted to clear stufff down, empty the DB
tables etc and rescan.

[mythtv-users] MythFillDatabase problem

[Piers Kittel]

Hello all,

Have finally got my DVB card to work, but for some strange reason, it's 
not downloading the info for any channels related to the DVB card though 
BBC1 works just fine.


I've got 2 tuner cards, a PVR350 and a Nova-T card, the PVR350 is in the 
main MythTV backend, and the Nova-T is in my main PC on a slave backend. 
 The PVR350 has 2 sets of channels attributed to it, and the Nova-T has 
one.  The PVR350 has two, one for the analogue RF input, and the other 
for the S-Video input from the digital set top box.  This means I've got 
3 copies of some channels, and 2 copies of most channels.  For example, 
take one channel, there's 3 copies, one for the external digital STB 
box, one for the analogue RF input, and one for the DVB card.  Another 
example, Sky News, there are 2 copies as Sky News isn't broadcast in 
analogue.


Anyway, the channel editor has all channels, attributed to the correct 
video source, and has the correct XMLTV ID - for example BBC2 for all 3 
has the same XMLTV ID - then I run mythfilldatabase and it runs, and 
ends with:


-- End of XMLTV output --
Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file
Updating icons for sourceid: 4
Updated programs: 0  Unchanged programs: 0
Failed to fetch some program info
mythtv:/video#

and in mythweb, I get:

Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2005-06-05 19:05 and ended on 
2005-06-05 19:05. FAILED: xmltv returned error code 512.  There's guide 
data until 2005-06-19 02:00 (14 days).


although it always failed before though with a different error code, 
something like 1312 (don't remember the exact number).


I tried to run mythfilldatabase on the slave backend containing the DVB 
card even tho mythsetup seems to say it isn't needed and I get:


desire:/home/piers# mythfilldatabase
- Start of XMLTV output -
snip lots of messages
-- End of XMLTV output --
Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file
Updating icons for sourceid: 2
Updated programs: 0  Unchanged programs: 0
- Start of XMLTV output -
snip lots of messages
- Start of XMLTV output -
Updated programs: 9  Unchanged programs: 423
Failed to fetch some program info
desire:/home/piers#

so I assume I do need to run mythfilldatabase on the slave backend as it 
shows lots of messages relating to BBC1 such as:


removing existing program: south-west.bbc1.bbc.co.uk Under Siege 2 
2005-06-15T22:50:00 - 2005-06-16T00:25:00
inserting new program: south-west.bbc1.bbc.co.uk Under Siege 2 
2005-06-15T22:50:00 - 2005-06-16T00:25:00


but not any other channel, while mythfilldatabase on the main backend 
does show messages like the above for other channels.


Any ideas anyone?

Thanks very much for your help in advance

 for me.  All I
  added was a printf (i.e printf(Testing OpenGL

 and recompiled
  it.
  
  OpenGL VSync worked absolutely fine.  I don't know
 what's going on,
  but maybe the RPMs need to be rebuilt?
 
 The packages you quoted are not 100% the ones at
 ATrpms. Did you test
 against the 'jw' packages or the 'at' ones? 'jw' are
 Jarod's interim
 packages, and perhaps they don't have opengl turned
 on?
 
 Could you try with the 'at' packages?

Re: [mythtv-users] 7+1 audio with alsa, xine and 5+1 DVDs

[Michael T. Dean]

Franco wrote:


I have a 7+1 soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro)
with 7+1 speakers connected.
 

I'm understanding this to mean you're going directly from the sound card 
to the speakers with no A/V receiver in between.



Unfortunately, when I watch a 5+1 DVD using xine,
it is NOT upmixed to 7+1 so two speakers remain silent.
 


Which is probably a good thing (keep reading)...


Should I change the configuration of xine or alsa
to get the desired effect (and, how do I do it?)
 

You could easily* do this using ALSA's .asoundrc to specify a device 
using the route and plug plugins.  Basically, with this approach, you 
would simply copy 2 channels to the silent speakers (i.e. copy left- and 
right-surround to left- and right-back, respectively).  Then, set up 
xine to use this ALSA device for 5.1 soundtracks.


Note that while doing this will keep those speakers from being silent, 
you may actually be harming the overall effect of the audio.  The 
different channels in a 5.1 audio recording are used to convey position 
information using precise and complex timing of the sounds on each of 
the channels.  If you copy channels to extra speakers, you will 
lose/destroy much of the intended effect (i.e. your position information 
will likely seem washed out).


Even trying to calculate the timing and audio information to add to the 
channels would not work (i.e. if you were able to come up with some 
incredibly complex read-ahead and isolation technology that allows you 
to identify movement using front and surround channels and create the 
appropriate audio information for the back channels, you would be 
inventing new information--which is likely imprecise and would 
definitely change the effect).  Think of it like trying to print a 
640x480 digital image in 10 x 8 in format--it won't look very good 
because you're inventing way too much information.  IMHO, your best bet 
is to leave the speakers silent.


For more information why it's better not to mess with the original, take 
a look at some of the A/V and home theater guides on the 'net and/or the 
requirements for THX certification.  Both will give you an appreciation 
of the precision of the source audio.


*It's easy to do once you know how.  Figuring out how is where you'll 
spend the time.  Check out the FAQ at http://alsa.opensrc.org/ for more 
info--especially http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=FAQ028 .  Same 
ideas apply, but routing from 5.1 to 7.1 is more complex than from 
stereo to 5.1.



Actually, I'd like to upmix to 7+1 every kind of
audio source, but this seems to automaticaly happen
whith e.g. mythmusic (stereo music always becomes 7+1)
as well as mplayer when playing stereo videos...
 

This is easy to do with stereo audio and doesn't detract from the effect 
(i.e. stereo has only imprecise position information embedded within 
it--generally only allowing the user to distinguish whether the source 
was on the left or right), so there's typically no harm in copying 
left/right channels to left/right back and/or left/right surround 
speakers.  However, in truth, you would ideally reposition your speakers 
when changing from listening to music to listening to a 5.1 movie 
soundtrack.  More info is available on the guides.

Have you considered doing it the other way?  Although you don't want to

leeway to choose the most appropriate showing of any particular episode,
but you don't have to record/delete the ones you don't want.
   


This does seem like a better way to do it.  It also covers me if I am
out of town or forget to select which ones to record (or don't
record).  It will just record all of them and then I can delete them
when I get around to it.  Thanks for the suggestion.
 

Yep.  That's why all of my recording rules are Any/All.  I learned the 
hard way when Category 6: Day of Destruction turned out to be a 
mini-series instead of a one-time movie.  I ended up with two hours of 
a 4-hour (or was it 6-hour?) movie, so it wasn't even worth watching...

Myth wouldn't care if you lied about the channel information.  As long

No.  You just need to import the show--the same as if you're fixing a

This may be a bit technical for some and would still amount
to eventually burning a DVD.
 

Which is probably good because of all of the questions of legality

I found rippers that called to CDDB are helpful and can sometimes

I also had good look with a ID3 tag editor for files that would not

My PVR-500MCE works very well with ivtv 0.3.5i driver. Have not tried

[mythtv-users] xperinet selling mythtv systems and violating the GPL?

[Mike Myers]

Folks, I just ran across a review of Xperinet's home
media server product in this month's sound and vision,
and from the screenshots it sure looked like MythTV. 
So I went to their website at www.xperinet.com, and
looked at their product line. 

As far as I can tell, it appears to be version of Myth
TV, focused on DVD and CD archiving.  There is no
mention of MythTV.  From the highly positive article
in  SV, it looks like they are adding features like
bookmarks for chapters and other changes to Myth, but
I can't find any source code on their site.  Isn't
this a violation of the GPL?

At least they are being even handed though.  It looks
like they also have a Asterisk home PBX implementation
that also doesn't credit Asterisk or release any
source code for their PBX implementation.

Also, it's somewhat amusing, but most of their
products are named after nuclear delivery systems of
some sort.  They call their media server software MIRV
(Multiple Independent Replay Video server), when of
course the traditional meaning is Multiple
Independently Targeted Re-entry Vehicle (ie multiple
warheads on an ICBM), and their server products are
called Polaris, Posideon, Trident (all sub launched
ICBMs), and Titan (a USAF ICBM that carried a 5
Megaton warhead) (The Titan is their BIG server).  

Does anyone know anything about these folks?  Don't
they have to release source code to be GPL compliant? 


Thanks,
Mike

some time but wanted to move to 0.18.1 with a fresh reinstall) following

I got the box fully operational and recording shows off the DirecTV box
so I went and downloaded/installed the newest version of nuvexport from
forevermore.net. I export to XVid so I downloaded the current CVS of
ffmpeg and compiled with ./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg
--enable-vorbis --enable-xvid --enable-gpl and got a successful install
(after installing libs of course).

When I launch nuvexport and attempt to encode a video to XVid I get the
following message:

[mythtv-users] PVR350 and 150 - frontend cannot switch tuners

[Fedor Pikus]

I've added PVR150MCE to my PVR350. Modules are configured, I can do:
cat /dev/video0  /tmp/test0.mpg
cat /dev/video1  /tmp/test1.mpg
even at the same time from two different xterms, and they record
video, two different channels. I run mythtv-setup, I can add the
second capture card (there is no PVR150 option in setup, I used the
same option as for PVR350). Setup sees two tuners on 150MCE, not one.
I can link both to the same video lineup as the 350, or link only one
and leave the second as None, does not seem to make much difference
for what happens next.

I launch the frontend and go to Watch TV. I hit C, and after a short
delay nothing happens. I tried V, nothing happens as well. The
strange thing is, I'm watching from 150MCE tuner and cannot switch to
the 350 tuner (which worked just fine before).

There's nothing illuminating in the backend log, frontend log has this:

When mythfrontend is running, I also get only the first 3 lines,
saa7115 is not mentioned.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried re-runing Search for New Music from the Music Tools
menu?  I believe it will remove all entries that no longer exist.  You
could even point your music store to an empty directory first to clear
everything.

Second option is to dump the musicmetadata table from the database.

With mythbackend stopped:
mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg
drop table musicmetadata;
 quit

(By the way, this was in the first message returned by my search of the
list archives)

Restart the backend and run Search for New Music from the frontend.  I
think it will recreate the table when you run it.  Others will be able
to tell you with more certainty.  Doesn't hurt to try, however.  If not,
re-installing just mythmusic should.

I would recommend backing up your database first from the directions at
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.5 .

Thanks for the response. I have at least some progress already.

 It looks like it could be that the starting channel for live tv is not

It appears to be OK when I look at the setup options. It's just set to
channel 3, which is a local broadcast station on Comcast.



  If scheduled
 recordings work, this would seem likely.

No, that doesn't work either. I can schedule something, and it shows up
on the list, but when it comes time to record, all it does is create an
empty .nuv file (I'm trying another one to start a few minutes from now
just to verify this).


  If nothing works at all (live
 tv or preset recordings) it would follow that the channels setup is
 not correct.

At one point, I wiped out the entire database (DROP DATABASE
mythconverg;)  and completely redid mc.sql, mythtv-setup, and all the
reconfigurations through the Utilities/Setup screens in myth-frontend.
Everything was downloaded again from ZapIt. It didn't help.

  If you are also trying to watch LiveTV and the last
 channel you were watching is now off-air 

No, that's not it. It's not off-air. It looks fine on the TV.

 Are you able to use the card outside of Myth? 

Excellent suggestion. In fact, I didn't really know HOW to use the card
outside of Myth, so I did some poking around and discovered xawtv. I
got that installed, and it works fine for watching TV. So I presume that
means it's not Comcast, house wiring, computer hardware, or a driver
problem. It has to be within Myth (or my configuration of it) somewhere.
But at least with xawtv installed I can watch live TV. I still want to
get Myth going as I do want the DVR features, but being able to watch
live TV makes it less time critical to get it fixed.

One thing I do note that must be related somehow: after it stopped
working, when I bring up myth-frontend, the window comes up without a
border (no top bar), and when things were working, it had this and I was
able to drag the window around the screen, right-click the bar to Put
on all workspaces (I'm using GNOME), etc. Now there is no top bar to
grab, so I can't move the window.  I have configured it not to use full
screen by default, but going back to using full screen doesn't help
either. I also notice that when I do most anything (such as, click on a
guide entry to schedule a recording), it takes a LONG time to come back
to the previous screen again (and sometimes it hangs and never comes
back, and some of these hangs result in mythbackend crashing or exiting;
it ain't there any more and the next time I start mythfrontend, I get
the Can't connect to master server, is it running? error (because it
wasn't running). But restarting it puts me right back where I was this
morning: attempting to watch live TV gets a cannot sync error.

I'm understanding this to mean you're going directly from the sound cardto the speakers with no A/V receiver in between.Unfortunately, when I watch a 5+1 DVD using xine,it is NOT upmixed to 7+1 so two speakers remain silent.
Which is probably a good thing (keep reading)...Should I change the configuration of xine or alsato get the desired effect (and, how do I do it?)You could easily* do this using ALSA's .asoundrc to specify a device
using the route and plug plugins.Basically, with this approach, youwould simply copy 2 channels to the silent speakers (i.e. copy left- andright-surround to left- and right-back, respectively).Then, set up
xine to use this ALSA device for 5.1 soundtracks.Note that while doing this will keep those speakers from being silent,you may actually be harming the overall effect of the audio.Thedifferent channels in a 
5.1 audio recording are used to convey positioninformation using precise and complex timing of the sounds on each ofthe channels.If you copy channels to extra speakers, you willlose/destroy much of the intended effect (
i.e. your position informationwill likely seem washed out).Even trying to calculate the timing and audio information to add to thechannels would not work (i.e. if you were able to come up with some
incredibly complex read-ahead and isolation technology that allows youto identify movement using front and surround channels and create theappropriate audio information for the back channels, you would beinventing new information--which is likely imprecise and would
definitely change the effect).Think of it like trying to print a640x480 digital image in 10 x 8 in format--it won't look very goodbecause you're inventing way too much information.IMHO, your best betis to leave the speakers silent.
For more information why it's better not to mess with the original, takea look at some of the A/V and home theater guides on the 'net and/or therequirements for THX certification.Both will give you an appreciation
of the precision of the source audio.*It's easy to do once you know how.Figuring out how is where you'llspend the time.Check out the FAQ at http://alsa.opensrc.org/
 for moreinfo--especially http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=FAQ028 .Sameideas apply, but routing from 5.1 to 7.1 is more complex than fromstereo to 
5.1.Actually, I'd like to upmix to 7+1 every kind ofaudio source, but this seems to automaticaly happenwhith e.g. mythmusic (stereo music always becomes 7+1)as well as mplayer when playing stereo videos...
This is easy to do with stereo audio and doesn't detract from the effect(i.e. stereo has only imprecise position information embedded withinit--generally only allowing the user to distinguish whether the source
was on the left or right), so there's typically no harm in copyingleft/right channels to left/right back and/or left/right surroundspeakers.However, in truth, you would ideally reposition your speakerswhen changing from listening to music to listening to a 
5.1 moviesoundtrack.More info is available on the guides.HTH.Mike___mythtv-users mailing listmythtv-users@mythtv.org

[mythtv-users] Adding an HD-3000 to a PVR-350-only system

[Mercury Morris]

On a newly built system running Fedora Core 3
with this kernel, 2.6.11-1.27_FC3, I would like to
add a single HD-3000 card to the single PVR-350
card already installed and working.  The PVR-350
is being used only for video capture, not playback.

I've seen some good guides for installling HD-3000 cards,
but it's difficult to tell which of them really applies to the
kernel on this new system.  For example, can I use DVB
drivers (preferred) without having to re-compile this kernel?

It's a bit confusing to read Angel Li's Air2PC Guide which does
compile the kernel, and then read Jarod Wilson's Howto where
he states that he is using a Stock FC3 kernel.

Then, there's the question of which of the tarballs on the
pcHDTV site is the DVB tarball.

I can surely get there using the trial-and-error method,
but I'm just wondering if anyone has started out with a
PVR-3/250 card and then added an HD-3000 card.
If you have gone this route already, what were the main
steps you took?

Thanks for any help.

Re: [mythtv-users] 7+1 audio with alsa, xine and 5+1 DVDs

[Franco]

Hi Mike,

thank you for the detailed explaination.

 I'm understanding this to mean you're going directly from the sound card 
 to the speakers with no A/V receiver in between.

Ehmm... yes, they are active speakers sfecifically designed
for that soundcard. There is a remote controlled amplifier embedded 
in the subwoofer and seven cables going from it to the speakers.
I understood your point in leaving 5.1 as is (thank you again for the
explaination), however, experimenting may be fun:

 You could easily* do this using ALSA's .asoundrc to specify a device 
 [..]
 set up xine to use this ALSA device for 5.1 soundtracks.

I'll try again to study alsa documentation (thank you for the link).
Actually all my previous attempts failed and I was hoping somebody
would give me some code to copy  paste ;-)

 requirements for THX certification.

Actually, I've spent lot of time on THX too.
My soundcard and speakers are both THX certified (I discovered them
following the links on THX site). There is an hardware upmix function
on the amplifier (5.1 to 7.1 and 6.1 to 7.1) as well a software
upmix funcion (only available with the provided windoze software).
As this equipment (hw + sw) is THX certified and published on THX site,
it doesn't seem that upmixing isn't compatible with THX quality...

As to the requirements for THX certification, I've asked them a lot
but what I got is: nothing. It seems the specifications are top secret,
that is, are not open.  Unless something has changed in the while,
they won't tell you. If you want to build a THX compliant room, you must 
pay them and have their technicians come to you, check your room
and tell you what you have to do without releasing the specs.

Back to the initial point, I _can_ operate the hardware THX-certified
5.1 - 7.1 upmix, but as long as I zap between Myth menus, I have
to continuously walk around the room, check if some speaker is not
working, and operate the upmix accordingly... not very user-friendly
hence I am the only person in my house able to operate the system...
would be better if it happened automatically.

Also, another point: the volume level in the room changes a lot
depending on the number of speakers that are working.
i.e. if only 2 speakers are woring you raise the volume quite a lot.
Then you switch to something using 7 speakers and suddenly your
ears get hurt by a too high volume in the room... you should always
be able to predict when this happens and lower the volume before
changing Myth function... again, not very user friendly.
If all the speakers are always working, you set the volume just once
and then you can switch between myth menus without fear... :-)

[mythtv-users] Problem with scrambled channels

[Mattia Martinello]

Hi,

I'm using MythTV 0.18.1 with an Hauppauge WinTV Nova CI dvb-s card, and 
I can watch digital sat channels.
The Italian national televisions (RAI and Mediaset) make its channels 
scrambled sometimes (when it hasn't European rights of a program), so I 
can't see them in any way with MythTV.
The problem is that when I select one of these channels, when it is 
scrambled MythTV freeze itself and I can't continue to change channel.

Mythfrontend freeze and after about a minute it closes itself.
The problem is more difficult when the scrambled channel is the starting 
channel in MythTV: when I start mythfrontend, it can't select a channel 
and it freeze without any way to use it.


How I can solve this great problem?
I wish MythTV not to freeze itself when it select a scrambled channel.

I repeate, these channels are not always scrambled, and I can't know 
when they will be scrambled. I know this only when I can't to tune them, 
so I can't remove them from the program list of MythTV.


Thank you very much in advance!

Mattia.

You need to use the v2.0 package from pchdtv.com and use the dvb

Re: [mythtv-users] opaque

[Elladan]

The way you'd want to implement this would be to change mythtv to use an
openGL texture to render video, instead of using the overlay channel.
Then you could alpha blend on top of it rather easily using the texture
engine.

However, this would be fairly difficult.  Ideally you'd want to do color
space conversion for myth as a pixel shader in the GPU, but you might
need to do a lot of work to make sure the quality is the same as the
overlay does by default.  Also I strongly suspect you'd get tearing and
would need to fix that too.

3/32 stereo plugs on each end.  Unfortunately, It doesn't work.  
Anyone have suggestions on what to try?  Thanks,


I'm running an extension cord using cat5 and mini stereo jacks just like 
you and it works fine. I'm running about 7-8 meters and only using one 
wire for each signal. I am also running a home made ir blaster through 
some of the other cores in the cat5 cable.


Test your cable with a multimeter first then try a shorter length of 
cable to see if that could be the problem.




Don

Details:

- From Pvr board to basement wall - 6 foot cat5 cable with male 3/32 
plugs on each end.  Using one pair of conductors for each of three 
signals.  All straight through.


- From basement wall to first floor wall - 20 foot cat5 cable with 
female 3/32 plugs on each end.  Using one pair of conductors for each 
of three signals.  All straight through.


- From first floor wall to TV - Pvr350 supplied IR pickup cable.

[mythtv-users] off topic question/request for help on a mediamvp

[T. Waldren]

I tried to ask over at the mvmpc project forums, but I never got a
response, so since I learned about the mediamvp through this list, I
though maybe someone could help me.

Basically, my problem is that their how-to seems incomplete
(http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/mvpmc-HOWTO-singlehtml.html#ss5.1).  I
have the dongle.bin for the mvp, but I get lost at their current step
5 (installing atftp, I got tftp to install) and the dhcp information. 
It tells me to install tftp but never says if there is any setup.  I
was able to do the install of dhcp, but then it tells me to edit a
dhcpd.conf file that I cannot find (I don't see a dhcpd.conf file in
the /etc/ area, but I see it in the /etc/log.d/conf/services/
directory) and then start dhcp, but I get [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
/etc/init.d/dhcp start
bash: /etc/init.d/dhcp: No such file or directory.  If someone has a
better way to set this thing up, or can give me some hints on what to
try, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am pulling out my hair trying to figure this out, and the wife isn't
very happy that something I promised her would be working a month ago
still just boots up and says contacting Mediamvp booterver.

Thanks

Second option is to dump the musicmetadata table from the database.

With mythbackend stopped:

Probably safer to delete the contents of the table.

DELETE FROM musicmetadata;

Re: [mythtv-users] Problem with nuvexport and mythtranscode

Here's what I get following launch of nuvexport with --debug:

/tmp/fifodir_3839/audout: I/O error occured is I'm assuming the error
stopping the encoding, but I dont have any idea what it means.

 I just did a fresh reload of my MythTV box (been running 0.16 for quite

 Has anyone seen this before?

 I'm pretty sure ffmpeg is correctly setup because I can run this

 And get a test3.avi file to come out just fine.

 Thanks in advance for any help!

[mythtv-users] 0/nfslock not found

[Nathan Ford]

Ok, so I decided to move my mysql database to my backend server as it
is a faster machine. I was hoping this would help speed up the whole
operation. I grabbed mysql 4.1 and got it operational on the backend
machine. I then proceeded to copy the database from the server to the
back end. (I exported via mysldump  Myth.db and mysql  Myth.db)

However, when I went to start the backend it complained about not
being able to open 0/nfs.lockfile (or whatever it is)

Soi figured my database import didn't go so well. Well, I tried all
kinds of stuff and stuff just seems broken now. I pointed mysql.txt
back to the old server and I get the same problem still.

Here's some other weird behavior. When I start with a fresh db on the
new machine running mythtv-setup updates the schema and setup comes
up. Once I close setup and re-run it, i get alot of
QTime::fromString: Parameter out of range messages, and once I get
past the yes no q's to the options it freezes and I can not navigate
the options.

I'm about at my wits end.

I have no problem reconfiguring everything. I just don't want to lose
the persistant data (recording schedule, file list, previously
recorded, etc.)

I haven't been able to find anything in the archives about the nfs
lock problem...
Any suggestions?

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: OpenGLVideoSync: Bad Context for Vsync

Axel,

I removed all of the MythTV RPMs on my system, checked
that I'm using the stable branch of ATrpms, and did an
apt-get install mythtv-suite.  The command rpm -qa
shows these got pulled in:

Upon re-running the backend and the frontend, I see
that there's a checkbox for enabling OpenGL support,
but it never gets used.  RTC is always used.

  Axel,
  
  I want to make sure that I've done this right.
  
  My .rpmmacros file has this declaration:
  %atrelease() %1.%{disttag}.jw
  
  I downloaded mythtv-0.18.1-112.rhfc3.at.src.rpm,
 which
  is the version of 0.18.1 that is on the ATrpms
 page. 
  I built it (rpmbuild -ba) and got these RPMs:

  mythtv-0.18.1-112.rhfc3.jw.src.rpm
  
  In the i386 directory:
  libmyth-0.18.1-112.rhfc3.jw.i386.rpm
  libmyth-devel-0.18.1-112.rhfc3.jw.i386.rpm

  I installed the RPMs from the i386 directory, and
  OpenGL VSync works as expected.
 
 That's all OK. But what packages had you installed
 when you did simply
 use apt-get with binary packages?
 0.18.1-112.rhfc3.at.i386? These
 should have the same functionality like building
 yourself.

OpenGL VSync worked absolutely fine.  I don't

   The packages you quoted are not 100% the ones at
   ATrpms. Did you test
   against the 'jw' packages or the 'at' ones? 'jw'
 are
   Jarod's interim
   packages, and perhaps they don't have opengl
 turned
   on?
   
   Could you try with the 'at' packages?
   
   Thanks.

[mythtv-users] RPM of mythstream

[Mitko Haralanov]

I would like to get mythstream installed on my machine (FC3,
Myth 0.18.1) but using ATrpms, I can only find mythstream-0.16 (which,
obviously, does not work).

Is there somewhere where I can find an rpm. I can't compile it
on my box since I don't have any of the build infrastructure installed
(and I'd rather not install it).

Thanx
