[mythtv-users] Encoding TV into mpeg2
Hi, I have an EPIA SP13000 board which can do hardware mpeg2 decoding but I don't have a full PVR tv capture card. I currently have a cheap bttv based capture card which is set up to work fine in linux, but with MythTV the lack of hardware mpeg2 encoding means my processor is having to do a lot of work. My question is, is it possible to get mythtv to encode my TV in software in mpeg2 format, so when watching TV my processor only has to handle the encoding in software and my mpeg2 decoder can take the load off decoding?

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: myxer theme configurator
I didn't respond to this on your other thread because I thought it was answered. I haven't really noticed/tried changing the font sizes in Myxer/Titivillus but I can try tonight. I have never had to do this because I have X setup to use 100dpi. Did you set your X resolution to use 100dpi? That seems to be the 'standardized' thing to do for proper font sizing. You can do this by changing the values on DisplaySize in your xorg.conf and logging out, then checking your current dpi using the xdpyinfo thingy that was in the other posts.

If you give the user running the web-server write access to the myxer settings, it can update the settings directly. But this is a serious security risk. On the other hand, I think most frontend boxes are only accessible from the LAN. It's also possible to generate a config file that can be used by MyxerCustomizer to update the settings. So you create a theme with my myxer configurator, download a config file and use MyxerCustomizer to do the needed changes. Or my myxer configurator gives you a shell script that you can execute.

I've spent a few hours on this already and i'm moving in the right direction, but something ready made would be awesome. I'm sure many have already taken this path. This kind of depends on the remote control you are using and how it is currently setup (/etc/lircd.conf contains the defined key names), but Jarod's guide has some xine keymaps defined in his example lircrc file (the file the maps keys to application-specific commands): http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-RS.txt When I switched to a new remote recently with many more buttons than the original Hauppauge grey/black one, I got a full list of the xine LIRC bindings and created a new setup which works a treat.

You can choose the background, watermarks and buttons. It will generate a

the exact place of the menu and the images, but at least it will give you an
idea how it will look like.
Works pretty well but there is a much better way to do the selection.
If you modify the index.php code so that instead of generating a form
with a button with the image on it you just generate and image like this...
img src=image.php?img=?=$image?width=150 alt=oops
onclick=document.getElementById('preview_img').src =
'preview.php?type=backgroundsamp;file=?=$file?amp;dir=?=$dir?'
Each time you click an image it then just updates the source url for the
image and inlcudes the new selection in that URL as a query, this is
then passed to the server which updates the session setting and
generates a new preview.
You also need to modify the preview image container to give it an id...
a href=preview.php?width=FULLimg id='preview_img'
src='preview.php?width=?=$_SESSION[preview_size]?' alt='Preview'/a
And then modify common.php to remove the test for a form post (as it now
uses a get or post depending on if you are updating the preview or
reloading the page with a different section) then you will have a
preview that will update without doing a full page reload.
This should work in pretty much all browsers that people would be using
these days.

Re: [mythtv-users] bigger fonts please
Change or add a DisplaySize line in your Xorg.conf (or equivalent) Monitor section. You can make the fonts huge that way if you want. Start with: DisplaySize 182 121 and then try values like 150 100 and 300 200 instead. Restart the X server after each change and note the difference.

[mythtv-users] New Myth/ivtv error
Hello all, My Myth box, specs below, has been in safe production (the old Replay TV is not yet unplugged) for about two weeks now. Over the weekend, it became unresponsive to remote and I could not get in via Mythweb. SSH was sluggish but I could get in. Restarting gave me the 'GDM could not write to your authorization file error, and executing 'df -h' showed that my hda / partition was 100% full. I traced the culprit to /var/log/syslog, which was almost 700MB. Roughly 99% of it was the following, repeating and very frequent judging from the timestamps: mythtv kernel: ivtv: DEC: Decoder wants 0x0001 bytes, bad memory location 0x0001. mythtv kernel ivtv: DEC: Decoder wants 0x0001. The above lines repeat anywhere from eight to twelve times, sometimes the shorter line will appear twice, sometimes the longer line within the repeating block, then the following might appear, and then they repeat some more: mythtv kernel ivtv: DEC: Decoder w01. I'm going to post this to the ivtv list as well, but y'all are pretty smart people and so I thought I'd ask you as well.

There's a tip on Jarod's guide for just this problem! http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php Essentially, use irexec to run a script that starts mythfrontend if it isn't running, or kill it if it is. If the frontend does hang, two presses and you should be up and running again. If you are using a combined front/backend - you can let the machine turn itself off by closing the frontend process and waiting for the defined 'idle' time to expire. If using a frontend, you should be able to shutdown from the main MythTV menu by choosing 'Exit and Shutdown'. 2) How do I assign one button of the remote to take me straight to the program guide instead of having to navigate to it through the OSD while I am watching TV?

[mythtv-users] No sound from PVR-500 Tuner, working with Line In
I'm totally stumped on this one, I spent a few hours on it last night and I just can't get sound from the tuner. Here's the situation. I'm using a PVR-500 and I've only gotten /dev/video0 working. The second tuner seems to be detected in my dmesg, but /dev/video1 is not working like it should and ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -a shows really strange negative values for brightness, contrast, etc. Just thought I'd throw that in there, but that's only the beginning of my problems. I want to get sound working before I worry about having both tuners. I've captured stuff using the s-video input and the line in, and I can get a video file with sound using cat /dev/video0 test.mpg (and tested in Myth as well, it captures video, no audio). I think I did ivtvctl -p 0 -q 2 for that. However, using ivtvctl -p 6 (or 7, i've tried both) -q 0 (i've tried the other -q values as well, but -q 0 should be tuner audio), I get a perfect video file from whatever channel I'm tuned to, but no sound. I assume the line in and tuner both use the same audio encoder, so I don't get why I wouldn't be getting any sound from one but not the other! I think that also rules out modules being loaded improperly, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm pulling my hair out at this point. I'm using ivtv version 0.3.6m.

Re: [mythtv-users] No sound from PVR-500 Tuner, working with Line In
I had a similar, but different problem. I had both video tuners working, but would only capture sound on the first tuner for some reason. Doh! Anyways, I more or less followed this guide: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4704highlight=pvr+500 It's a little bit dated, but still very helpful. At first I followed the directions but instead of using the ivtv version 0.3.5f drivers I used a newer one (I don't remember which). This resulted in the no-sound-on-tuner-2 problem (I can't remember what exactly the problem was, but I BELIEVE it had something to do with firmware not being loaded properly). I then started over using 0.3.5f and I haven't had much trouble since then. --Jack --- Stefan Wrobel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm totally stumped on this one, I spent a few hours on it last night and I just can't get sound from the tuner.

Mythweb Questions for all : mythweb 0.18 -- i get Beer theme ?? How do I get rid of it ! mythweb 0.18.1 -- no more beer but some other language theme ! John, Good to hear that your problems got fixed !! WAF is super high for the LP2 :-) Regarding, scheduling recording etc. You can goto mythweb on your mythbox from LP2. I've created an html page on the docroot of wizd which has [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ l /myth/wizd_root/ total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 74 Jun 18 07:44 MythWeb.html drwxr-xr-x 42 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jun 12 08:48 Photos/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jun 12 08:25 Radio/ drwxr-xr-x 5 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jun 18 07:33 Videos/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ cat /myth/wizd_root/MythWeb.html meta http-equiv=refresh content=0; URL=http://192.168.123.3/mythweb; Where 192.168.123.3 is my mythweb IP address. When you click on the MythWeb.html link in the LP2, it takes you to the mythweb page :-) Now the wierd part, I only see the Australian Beer Theme (running 0.18 version). If I upgrade to 0.18.1 myth (including mythweb), then I get some foreign language. Beer theme is okay as I can schedule recording based on beerology protocol. Since LP2 is not a full fledged web client, I'd like to see a real simple stripped down web interface (may be similar to WAP) ported for it. As I see, we will see more of these devices in future connected to mythtv. Dont know if/how I can configure mythweb to run in WAP mode when communicating with LP2. I've written some scripts which creates soft links from the programs in /myth/tv directory to directories under docroot. For eg, lrwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv mythtv 47 Jun 21 20:43 /myth/wizd_root/Videos/TV Programs/Shows/Two_and_a_Half_Men/Smell_the_Umbrella_Stand_on_June_06th_at_9_31_PM.mpg - /myth/tv/1032_20050606213100_20050606220400.nuv So I can browse the wizd server directories on the LP2 and then watch the recorded shows.

[mythtv-users] How to clean up your music database
All,
yesterday I posted a query on how to fix a dropped musicmetadata table.
I had accidentally deleted the musicmetadata (drop table musicmetadata;)
instead of deleting the entries (delete from musicmetadata;) I then found
that the table was not being recreated, as expected.
After looking through the checkdb.cpp source of mythmusic today, I found
that upon starting, mythmusic looks for the schema number in the 'settings'
table in the MusicDBSchemaVer value. As this still existed in the above
scenario, the table was not re-created.
Stopping the backend, then deleting this value, and restarting things
cleaned everything up and caused my music to be reinserted into the
database.
So for future reference, to cause a complete clean re-read of your music if
you accidentally dropped the musicmetadata table:
#stop the mythbackend first
#then on the mythconverg database run the following:
DELETE FROM settings WHERE value='MusicDBSchemaVer';
INSERT INTO settings (value, data, hostname) VALUES ('MusicDBSchemaVer', '',
NULL);
#and to force clean it, run this next:
DROP TABLE musicmetadata;
Restart backend, and run mythmusic.
I hope this helps someone out there...
Johan

Re: [mythtv-users] ETA for FC4 RPMs?
Thanks for replying. I will try the FC3 RPMs. I had Mythtv and FC3 working fine but then had to wipe my server for a different reason. After that wipe the jitter came up. I don't think Mythtv is the issue. I think it's IVTV. I have tried about four drivers from stable and unstable with varying degrees of success from way worse to almost normal. I thought I would try FC4 just to get a fresh start. I have had Mythtv running for a couple years now without anything but minor issues (like xmltv). It seems like the problems came about after the PVR-150 support was added to IVTV (I have a PVR-250). Just a hunch.

Thanks, Jeff I've got Myth running on a FC4 install by installing the FC3 RPMS from ATrpms and then whatever FC4 RPMS there were over the top. It seems to be working just as well as when I had FC3 installed. But if you're convinced that FC3 is the root of your jittery recording problems, then this may not help. Have you thoroughly debugged the source of the jittering? Looking at the mythbackend log, starting up mythfrontend mythbackend with all messages (mythfrontend -v all, mythbackend -v all)? Ensuring you have enough CPU horsepower and/or that you have an nVidia driver with a funtional XvMC setup? Unfortunately, at this stage, the MythTV debugging learning curve is quite steep.

It works and I get to constantly tweak with it. kel ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] lirc for xine and mplayer
I compiled from source. I'm thinking that its the link to ~/.lircrc that I'm missing. I'll find out tonight.

The keyboard shortcuts do work, but the remote keypresses aren't coming through apparently. Did you compile them from scratch or install them via an rpm or similar? Some pre-packaged distributions of Xine and Mplayer do not have native lirc support enabled and you need to compile from source instead. -- Stuart Morgan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Re: musicmetadata table recreation
All, In an attempt to clean out some stale entries, I accidentally did a 'drop table musicmetadata; ' instead of 'delete from musicmetadata;' I recreated the table from the latest schema, restarted the backend, and reloading frontend. Goto Play music, it goes through the motions of reading the music, and then... nothing shows. Forced update under settings, and again goes through the motions, and still nothing! I see the following error for each attempt: metadata.o: You don't seem to have any tracks. That's ok with me if it's ok with you. What could be causing this? TIA, Johan I'd try with fresh MythMusic db tables. You can force MythMusic to recreate the database tables like this DROP TABLE musicmetadata; DROP TABLE musicplaylist; DELETE FROM settings WHERE value='MusicDBSchemaVer'; the next time you run mythmusic it will recreate the tables. You will then have to rescan your music. You will loose all your playlists and smartplayists though.

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: building an HD Frontend for $250 or less
Robert, Downloaded the cybergarage library. It does support myth recorded shows. That is it converts channum_starttime_endtime.nuv to meaningful filenames with descriptions. Similar to mythname.pl. I've modified mythname.pl to give me detailed info such as Two_and_a_Half_Men_Smell_the_Umbrella_Stand_on_June_06th_at_9_31_PM.mpg Then I've couple of more scripts which create links of these programs based on the episode names (Two_and_a_Half_Men) under appropriate directories. Now if cybergarage can integrate liveTV :-) Thanks Mudit On 6/22/05, Robert Kulagowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: also the iodata forum has some info about the linux server (wizd) and about mpeg2-ts.

No. At least, not if you're using XvMC which you should for the best performance. There is ongoing work to resolve this but it seems to be held up by shiny things. Search the dev archives for Chroma OSD for more info.

If all else seems to be working, you have suitable xine defs in .lircrc and xine is compiled with lirc support, I think this is the only likely explanation.

[mythtv-users] Wrong colors on EPIA S-Video TVout :-(
Hello World, I have problem with screen quality on S-Video TV-Out on my EPIA M10k KnoppMyth 5A16 (the same problem with 5A12 2 5A15.1). Config: -EPIA M10k (latest BIOS 1.16) -KnoppMyth 5A16 -WD200G -LiteON DVD RW HW was tested with MCE2k5 - colors are OK, so it isn't problem of HW. Using LCD attached to VGA also gives all OK (proper colors, etc). Connecting TV via S-Video gives wrong colors and 16 colors depth symptoms (only few, errant colors on TV with coarse transitions between them). Have somebody how to resolve this issue ? -- cYa, 3.14iotr/2 Nie ma złych systemów operacyjnych. Może tylko brakować alkoholu !!!

Re: [mythtv-users] Big fat blue bar with Internal player
I think this is a problem with the nvidia driver. The default color for the video overlay is blue so it outputs blue for resolutions that do not take up the whole screen. You have to use the xvattr command to set the overlay color to black: xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0 You may have to install xvattr.

I use nvtv for overscan (since I use a shitty Geforce2MX S-video) but before I did I still got a thin blue line to the left and top of the movie. On 4:3-movies it doesn't show up.

Is your screen mostly green and chrome looking? If so comment out the line option dpms in your xorg.conf file.
