One idea if PXE doesn't work, or you don't have PXE, and you still

and the rest could be loaded from network. If the motherboard supports

load the kernel from a floppy, although when I used to do this the 
same floppy sitting in the same drive for months on end would need to 
be replaced once or twice a year. Not exactly diskless in that case, 
but other than 30 seconds at boot, there is no drive noise.


Or, throw in a DVD drive and boot from CD/DVD, and you can play DVD's 
with the frontend, also.

Yes, I've done this before. I just did a complete backup of the mysql

 Greg,
 
 The freqid 3 looks fishy to me. The freqid for digital stations is in
 format x-y. Look at http://www.antennaweb.org
 
 
 Open you web browser, connect to your machine (assuming you are
 running apache and have configured mythweb also). Then you can go to
 edit-Channel listing. See what are the channels and the frequencies.
 
 Alternatively, you can dump the channel table from mythconverg
 database. Also, live TV by default doesn't work unless you have set
 the starting channel correctly. Change the default channel in
 mythsetup to 5_1 or something which works for you. Since you are using
 QAM and not OTA, so I dont know about the channel numbers. My setup is
 HD3000 using OTA via antenna. I've added the following line in my
 /etc/default/mythtv-backend
 
 mysql -D mythconverg -e update cardinput set startchan='7_1'
 
 It always forces myth to start from 7_1 for liveTV whenever the
 backend is restarted.
 Hope it helps.
 
 Thanks

Keep in mind that this is a second task to perform on your recording

If you typically just watch something and delete it right away, then
it's probably not worth using mythtranscode; you may as well set up
your recording profile to record down to the desired bitrate and be
done with it.

I believe another interesting use for mythtranscode is if you are
doing software encoding at capture time and don't have the CPU to get
it down to your target bitrate in realtime, or if your capture card
doesn't do encoding (e.g., pcHDTV).

And yes, the obvious interesting use for mythtranscode is to remove
commercials (and possible disk space savings) for long-time archiving.
But I think lots of people prefer to use nuvexport/ffmpeg via User

Ah, there's the catch.  The HD3000 can tune HD one of two ways - OTA
via an antenna with the V4L drivers, or QAM (aka digital cable) via
the DVB drivers.  To tune regular analog cable you'll need a card like
the PVR-350 (or 250, etc.).  That's what I do.  I have two cards in
the system, a PVR-350 for tuning analog cable, and the HD3000 for
tuning the HD channels (I get about seven or eight from comcast).

I have tried using both drivers.  Neither works with Mythtv. As far as I

there.

   To tune regular analog cable you'll need a card like
 the PVR-350 

If this is so, then how is it that xawtv is able to work with the
HDTV3000 card? Worse still, at one point, when I first set this whole
thing up, mythtv worked! But the first time I stopped and restarted the
backend daemon, it was broken and it's not worked since. This suggests
that the problem may be in some part of the data that is loaded only
when the backend starts up.

All of this is enough to convince me that it SHOULD be possible,
somehow, some way, to get mythtv to work with the hardware and cable
system that I have. Heck, for a short time, it DID work.

I'm starting to feel like I am missing something really really basic

If you think you have a heat problem, open the PC and run it until you 
have your suspected heat issue. Then spray the suspected component with 
freeze spray and view if you have any changes in the video output. 
Sometimes you can find intermittent thermal problems with freeze spray

On the other hand, how many people have heat problems with PVRx50s? It

[mythtv-users] dvb-utils rpm

2005-06-07 Thread David Watkins

Anyone know where I can find dvb-utils?

Googling suggests that debian users can use an apt repository, but I'm
on Fedora Core 3.

Most other suggestions seem to be to download cvs source from
linuxtv.org, but I can't find it there.

Any help gratefully received.

Re: [mythtv-users] transcoding to mpeg4,

2005-06-07 Thread Chris Pinkham

 In myth  0.18, when I would transcode a recording, the commercials I
 had marked with the cutlist, would be removed, but since 0.18 (I'm
 running CVS, but I believe it is also so with the release), the
 recording is only being transcoded, and my cutlist is not being
 touched - is this a deliberately changed behaviour, and is it possible
 to choose to use the old behaviour somehow?

This was fixed here:

http://cvs.mythtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/programinfo.cpp?r1=1.203r2=1.203.2.1

It should be fixed in both CVS HEAD and the fixes branch.

[mythtv-users] Re: Confused about mythtranscode

2005-06-07 Thread Ross Campbell

  Is it possible to have myth transcode MPEG-2 content to MPEG-4 when
  it is a week old?  That way, shows I watch and delete right away are
  in the original format, and have had no cpu wasted on them, but
  shows that I might or might not get around to are compressed to
  MPEG-4.
 
 There is currently no delayed scheduling of any kind of
 post-processing (commercial flaggin, transcoding, user jobs) for a
 purpose you describe above (AFAIK).

I quite like this idea of automated progressive aging/transcoding of recordings.

I would be happy to have a few schedules for recordings as follows:

from recording time to 1week - keep in mpeg2 full DVD resolution
after 1 week, transcode down using cutlist if available, reduce
bitrate - goal 1/2 of original filesize
after 2 months, transcode (to divix?), reduce resolution and bitrate -
goal 1/4 or original filesize

There might be some options to only invoke these progressive
transcoding options when free space drops below XX gb

I also think that for broader appeal, it would be a good idea to have
a basic recording options screen that allows people to choose from a
few preset options for recording profiles based on gigabytes of space
per hour of programming and to have an estimate on the summary screen
for estimated hours of remaining recording capacity.

The geek in me would also like to see a total hours of recorded
programming on disk stat based on the actual length of cut/transcoded
shows - not just original airtime.

[mythtv-users] firewire recording problems

2005-06-07 Thread Scott Zadigian

I just spent the weekend getting my first myth box up and running
using the excellent fedora myth how-to guide and I'm having a little
trouble with firewire recordings. I have the Motorola 6400 box and can
sucessfully use 'test-mpeg2 -r 1' to capture HDTV onto my HD. However,
when I setup my mythbackend and configure the firewire recording

Firewire Connection Type: Point to Point and Broadcast (I've tried both)
Firewire Port: 0
Firewire Node: 1
Firewire Speed: 100Mbps

... all of my recordings fail. Here is some of my relevant info. If
anyone can see what i'm doing wrong i'd appreciate the help. I'm a
complete linux/myth/firewire recording newb, so I would imagine it is
prolly something quite simple.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do a bulk IMDB lookup on files in
mythvideo? I have a pretty large digital library and I was just wondering
if there is an easier way to do IMDB lookups?. Something as simple as
import new or the ability to select multiple files and do a single

titles that didn't match exactly to the filename - or if there were
multiple releases. Just wondering - thanks.

[mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging, Cut Lists, and Transcoding...

2005-06-07 Thread Garry Cook

I think I have a handle on how the transcoding works, although I would
like to find some more detailed docs on it. However, I'd like to learn
more about the Cut Lists, and how these relate to commercial flagging.

As I understand it, commercial flagging is on by default, but to add a
cut list based on the flagging, you need to do this manually. Also, it
may be a good idea to check the commercial flagging, to make sure it
is correct and does not cut any of the actual program.

So, where can I find more docs on cut-lists? Are they out there? I've
read http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.14, but this
does not go into a lot of detail IMHO. For instance, when watching a
recorded program, if I hit 'E' followed by 'Z' on the keyboard, this
will show the flagged commercials in a bar in the OSD. Each commercial
break is represented by a red bar within the green bar that is the
program. However, some of these bars are surrounded by silver 'T's.
Some have a silver 'T' on one side or the other, and some have none at
all. What does it all mean?

Re: [mythtv-users] How does the diskless setup work?

2005-06-07 Thread Paul Bender

The EPIA ME6000, VIA EPIA SP8000E and the Commell LV-667 all have MPEG2 
hardware decoding on the motherboard, so no additional video card is needed.


In addition, they are mini-itx form factor. Most mini-itx cases come 
with a right angle ide connector so that if you add an IDE card, the 
card will be parallel to the motherboard.


For a case, I have been using the Casetronic C137-90W 
http://206.14.132.88/products/Travla/c137/C137-90.html with the case 
fan disabled.


Yes, the Commell LV-667 has a CPU fan.

Re: [mythtv-users] How does the diskless setup work?

2005-06-07 Thread PAUL WILLIAMSON

I use a couple different cases.

Original - IBM NetVista with a 5200.  Black, sits right 
under the TV, and most people don't event realize it's 
there.  I took out the HD, replaced the CPU fan, and 
the 5200 has a giant heat sink on it.  The thing is so 
quiet I hear the buzz of my TV speakers in my family 
room during low passages in Holst's The Planets.

Newest - Pretty sweet case, mobo supports PXE, so the 
only thing I had to worry about was a video card.
Got another 5200 with a huge heat sink and picked up 
a Zalman CPU cooler and a silent PSU.  When I put my 
ear right up to the unit with the case off, it's hard to 
tell it is on.  I just ordered a pvr250 to put into this 
and finally figure out how to get it controlling the 
digital cable box I have so I have access to my other 
100 premium channels...so I guess technically 
it will be a diskless frontend and backend as well.

2 mvpmcs - ultimate in quiet and netbooting too.
Now that liveTV is working, I can do wireless live 
digital cable to my outdoor patio!  Woohoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] How does the diskless setup work?

2005-06-07 Thread Dan Littlejohn

I picked this case.  http://www.ahanix.com/dvine5.html

Running a pentium 1.8 with a zalman 6800 and you cannot hear the
machine.  If it does any heavy lifting, it spins up fans.  I have only
had that happen when upgrading the system.

 Original - IBM NetVista with a 5200.  Black, sits right

 the 5200 has a giant heat sink on it.  The thing is so
 quiet I hear the buzz of my TV speakers in my family
 room during low passages in Holst's The Planets.
 
 Newest - Pretty sweet case, mobo supports PXE, so the
 only thing I had to worry about was a video card.
 Got another 5200 with a huge heat sink and picked up
 a Zalman CPU cooler and a silent PSU.  When I put my
 ear right up to the unit with the case off, it's hard to
 tell it is on.  I just ordered a pvr250 to put into this
 and finally figure out how to get it controlling the
 digital cable box I have so I have access to my other
 100 premium channels...so I guess technically
 it will be a diskless frontend and backend as well.
 
 2 mvpmcs - ultimate in quiet and netbooting too.
 Now that liveTV is working, I can do wireless live
 digital cable to my outdoor patio!  Woohoo!

 So, what kind of cases are you guy's using? if it's diskless and
 fanless as in the VIA EPIA ME6000 or SP8000E (I'm not sure what this
 is HD Commell LV-667) you'll need video card height in order to use
 decoding on a card correct? So, are they mostly beastly ugly PC's or
 something more attractive?
 
 My backend is running an XP3200 with 512meg and a couple of 200gig
 drives in a LVM so I'm assuming it could handle the front end?
 
 I'm currently finishing off an XBOX front end and although it's not
 unattractive I'd like something attractive and quite.
 
 Thanks for all the great information and feedback.
 
 AJM,

[mythtv-users] Opinions on components for my new MythTV box?

2005-06-07 Thread Jason Weinstein

I currently have a ASUS Pundit (non-R) with a P4 3.06 Ghz w/HT
processor and 512MB of RAM. I have yet been unable to view 1080i and
720p live or recorded (non-transcoded) programs without getting 100%
CPU usage dropped frames. This is when I am outputting to S-Video to
my NTSC TV. Over 40% of the CPU was being used by X and I think this
is because it is resizing the video to be output via S-Video. I have
no empty PCI slots to add a nVidia video card that can handle XvMC.

So, I have decided to replace my Pundit with a new from-scratch
computer. After some research I'm thinking of buying the following
components. I'd like to get anyone's opinion on my choices.

- Athalon 3000+ Venice (is Athalon 64 with SSE3)
- Chaintech VNF4 Ultra motherboard (has nVidia nForce4 Ultra chipset)
- Albatron Geforce PCX5300 128MB PCI-Express video card 

Any comments/recomendations are greatly appreciated.

 Perhaps you are specifying a specific tuner for the 350, and this setting
 is
 being used for the 250?  I was under the impression the the current ivtv

Re: [mythtv-users] Playback problem on M10k - Unable to create XvMCBlocks

2005-06-07 Thread Simon G Haslam

Hi All,

I have a similar problem on my EPIA M9000.

I'm using MythTv 0.18 with a Nova-T USB2 DVB device.

My log from the frontend looks like this:

I'm sure that the Unichrome XvMC drivers are working correctly because using
the MythDVD plugin I am
able to watch DVD's using xine with -V XvMC perfectly.

If I switch off the XvMC option in the MythTv frontend settings then as soon
as I try and watch live tv the entire system
looks-ups and I have to reboot.

Anyone got any idea's?

Thanks

Subject: [mythtv-users] Playback problem on M10k - Unable to create
XvMCBlocks


 Hi All,

 I have a newly setup MythTV system, running a PVR-150 on an EPIA M1
 system. After a couple of days of playing, everything prettymuch works,
 except for hw-accelerated playback within mythtv.

 If I try to watch live tv, or play back a recording, I get a Unable to
 initialize video screen and logs that look like
 (xvmc-problem.mythtv.log). I think the critical message is Unable to
 create XvMC Blocks. If I disable XvMC in myth's playback settings it
 works (but its stressing the cpu too much so video skips).

 I followed the excellent Myth(TV)ology guide by Jarod for the most part.
 - Fedora Core 3, with kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
 - MythTV (0.18.1), DRM, ALSA, LIRC from ATrpms
 - Terry Barnaby's RPMs for Unichrome (2005/04/30)

 As far as I can tell, the via hw-decoder is working within xine (see
 xine.vid.log) when I use -V xxmc to play a video.  Trying to open
 /dev/video0 doesn't work within xine, but thats probably just my
 ignorance (xine.tv.log)

 If I use mplayer to watch TV [via ptune-ui  /dev/video0] it all works
 (mplayer.log). Using mplayer/xvmc I get output like (mplayer.xvmc.log)

 All these logs/configs are at:
 http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~coup/mythtv/060605/
 Xorg.conf, dmesg output, /var/log/messages, and Xorg.log are all there
too.

 Thanks in advance,

 Rob :)

Re: [mythtv-users] firewire recording problems

2005-06-07 Thread Mark Knecht

Scott,
   Could I get a little clarification? We're recording without issue
here on multiple 1394 drives but we're not doing HD.

1) How is the 1394 drive mounted? (fstab, etc.)

2) I presume that the HD box is sending you video over 1394, correct?
I also assume that the drive is on the same cable/OHCI adapter?

3) I presume that the 61883 stuff is loaded to allow you to
communicate with the HD box, correct? It's certainly not needed to
talk to the drive.

4) Any warnings in dmesg from the 1394 stack that we should know about?

5) Last, and most important, can you copy files at the terminal level
between your internal hard drive and the 1394 drive?

Thanks,
Mark

I *think* it only does so when subtitles are there though - it was fine when I

Gavin Haslett wrote:


If you REALLY want to clean up serious cruft, you should do what I plan to do 
this weekend, which is to NUVEXPORT all your recordings out to NUV and SQL 
files, trash the database and merge everything back in. Sounds like a lot of 
work, and it is... but I've been looking at my database and filesystem lately 
and they don't match. I have more NUV files than I have recordings, so 
apparently I've got orphaned files out there. I also appear to have a couple of 
orphaned database entries that show up in NUVEXPORT selector, but have no 
associated files. I need to clean this up so I'm going to go the 
export/trash/import route.

Only problem with this is it does mean that I'll have to re-create all my 
settings again... but that's not a huge problem for me as I have a mostly 
default setup.
 

You can always do a selective restore.  Just take the SQL you dump from 
the database backup and edit out anything you don't want--i.e. all the 
entries pertaining to the recorded table.


However, since you'll need to match your recordings with 
titles/subtitles/descriptions, it may make more sense just to start from 
your current database.  You can run a script to check for mismatches.  
For example, myth.rebuilddatabase.pl (in the contrib directory) will 
inform you of any mismatches and it asks you to enter 
title/subtitle/description for those recordings not in your database.


If you simply want to know what mismatches exist, you could modify 
myth.rebuilddatabase.pl to find and list all the mismatches.

Re: [mythtv-users] Multiple IR Blasters?

Ryan Tremaine wrote:

It took more than a few sleepless nights but I think the end is finally
insight for a working myth install. One major question I'm having trouble
finding an answer to is related to multiple IR transmitters. I have 2
Comcast digital cable boxes going to 2 PVR150's over s-video. I've read the
documentation about setting up an IR blaster but was wondering if it's
possible to control both boxes, each with their own transmitter?

Possible, but a whole lot more work than building Enrique Vidal's
improved serial transmitter ( http://lirc.org/improved_transmitter.html
), which can be used as an IR blaster.

To use multiple IR transmitters, you'd have to
a) connect each to its own serial port (do you really have enough
serial ports for this approach?) and install multiple copies of LIRC
such that they don't interfere with each other (i.e. as shown at
http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
)
b) rewrite LIRC's serial driver to support multiple transmitters using
the different pins of the serial port. This would also require
rewriting most of LIRC to support multiple devices (transmitters/receivers).

To use the improved serial transmitter, you'd have to
a) throw together a bunch of electronics components
b) get a friend to throw together a bunch of electronics components

I highly recommend the improved transmitter.

Good luck,

QUICK QUESTION: Do remoted work with the Logitech Wireless keyboard IR
receiver? That would be nice if they do.

 i've also attached teh fglrx drivers (orig and edited)

Thanks!

cheers,
Mark

 What I've got is card type PCHDTV, device /dev/video0 . This does cause
 the card's inputs to be properly recognized: they show up as
 Television (coax), S-Video, and Composite. In xawtv, selecting
 Television works fine. In MythTV, I get the Cannot obtain sync error
 every time.

The /dev/video0 device is NOT the HDTV input on that card. It's the
dumb frame grabber (which is why it works in xawtv).  Try /dev/dtv0 in
the myth setup.
