 On my machine mpeg2 recordings are 2 gigs per hour and mpeg4 ones are a
 third of that so I can guess the format from the filesize.

Ah, didn't know about U key. Yes, this lets me guess whether I
transcoded or not, so it's justa matter of two extra key presses, I
can live with that.

I guess this means that the file size information must be accessible
to the GUI after all.

 
 I took a quick look at the code, possibly too quick, and it seems that
 all the info displayed in the program details dialog comes from the
 ProgramInfo class. It gets all its information from the database and
 recording type isn't currently stored there so it would have to be
 added which sounds like a major minor change (eg, small changes in many
 places). Alternatively, the recording file itself could be examined but
 since every other bit of data supplied by ProgramInfo comes from the
 database hitting the filesystem might be an architectural no no. For
 one thing if the frontend uses that class it would have to have access
 to the recordings directory which is optional right now.
 
 But, I'm speculating way too much from one quick look at the code. I'd
 use the U key!

 For starters (to give myself something to be happy about while I
 figure out this JP1 stuff) I just did the normal learning
 functionality with the remote and a wireless keyboard and quickly used
 up all the memory.

While JP1 is cool, the remote is considerably more capable that the
manual would let you believe, even without JP1. Check out
http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/, go to codes and advanced codes
sections, the codes for your receiver might be there. I found codes
for my Tivo, didn't have to program a thing.

 
 I learned the volume keys to my audio receiver (a DVD
 home-theater-in-a-box), but noticed that I can't just hold down the
 volume key on the remote control. To get more than one tick of
 volume adjustment, I have to repeatedly press and release the RS
 15-2116 volume key (e.g., I can't just hold down the 15-2116 volume
 key for a big volume adjustment).

 Is this normal? Is there a trick to being able to just hold down the
 volume key and have it work? This happens whether I'm in My System
 mode or DVD mode.
 
 The stock audio receiver remote control allows me to hold down the
 button.

It's not how my 15-2116 works, and it's not how most remotes work, so
I'd guess not normal. But if the regular audio receiver volume works
normally, then all you need is to enable volume lock (it forces volume
key to operate in one mode even when remote is in other modes) or use
keymover to copy volume keys from receiver mode to dvd mode.

I had the opposite problem. With the MythCentre theme my fonts were
too big so Manage Recordings, for example, appeared as Manage.

I fixed it by editing the menu xml files for that theme.  Can't
remember exactly where they were (somewhere in ~/.mythtv/ I think) and
not sure if it works for all themes but you might be lucky.

I never got DisplaySize to have any affect, maybe because I'm using a
PVR350 for output.

Re: [mythtv-users] bigger fonts please

2005-06-23 Thread Jeroen Brosens

Hi, I created MythCenter and intended it to work with the Trebuchet MS 
font (part of the ms corefonts). Set your resolution to 800x600 and 
MythTV font sizes to default values (small:12,medium:16,large:25). I 
didn't set any dpi settings in my xorg.conf, so with all these defaults, 
the theme should display fine.


Meanwhile, I am very busy on my thesis, so I hope to find some time to 
do the MythCenter 2.0 update. I got some useful input so I know what to 
do; please give it a little time.

 Hi!
 
 I have been plugging away day and night trying to figure this out, but
 can't come to any good conclusion.
 
 When I view a card from xawtv, I can hear the audio and see the video.
  But, when I throw Myth into the mix, I can no longer hear any audio.
 I have the capture set to the Line-In, which is where the cable is ran
 to from the card's audio out.  The tuner card is an saa7134 deal, I'll
 post up lspci at the end for completeness.  The audio card is a cmipci
 (C-Media) card.  I grabbed a handful of them because the price was
 right and I knew they were supported with Alsa in Linux.  Just to make
 sure it wasn't just an audio out problem, I played back a captured
 program from before adding this card, and it works just fine.  This is
 a second tuner/second audio card in my system, so I've troubleshot all
 combinations, and it seems that it all comes down to audio capture
 from this particular card.  Any combo works in xawtv, and any combo
 provides video, it's just that myth doesn't seem to be able to record
 from the audio card's Line-In (capture) port...
 
 Any suggestion are very welcome.  Here's my lspci output:

 Myth Version is 0.18.1
 Distro: Gentoo
 Kernel: 2.6.11
 
 Thank you!
 

Ok, so it looks like I misdiagnosed the problem.  I just ripped all
the cards out of my box, and just used the onboard audio, this way I
can completely eliminate IRQ conflicts, whatever.

So, it seems that it's actually the saa7134 card that is giving me the
trouble, not the audio card.

I have tried a plethora of combinations of card= and tuner= from the
Documentation from my kernel, but nothing seems to give me any audio. 
However, when I view the card with xawtv, I get both audio and video. 
If I plug my speakers directly into the audio-out jack on the Tuner
card, I get audio while it's playing in mythtv...

I really haven't got a clue what might be going on here, any
suggestions are extremely welcome.

I've pulled the card, and here are numbers if anyone cares:

On the tuner itself it says:
Easy TV Capture
Then there are 8 boxes (well 9, but the 9th isn't directly below the
above line, but it's for FM radio) for different TV standards.  The
NTSC box is blackened (I live in the US, so that's good ;) )  Then
there is a picture of a cartoon looking TV with the letters TV in the
middle.

The chip says:
SAA7130HL
RA6794.1   02
kSG04161

Then, a sticker on the back says:
Philips 7130 TV Tuner Card
Then a barcode, followed with:

[mythtv-users] Tuner Card. Hauppauge PVR-500

2005-06-23 Thread Anders Christensen




I am planing to buy 
a Hauppauge PVR-500 tuner card.

It is a dual tuner 
card, that I am hoping that MythTV will support.

The card is sold 
under the name "WinTV-PVR-500MCE" where MCE is 
Media Center Edition from Microsoft, which I might swith to, if MythTV isnt 
working perfectly.
Anyone got some information 
about this ?

[mythtv-users] AutoExpireDefault in settings table

2005-06-23 Thread Mercury Morris

The Question:  Can I add AutoExpireDefault to the settings table in
mythconverge ?

The background:  Comparing two separate MythTV systems' settings tables,
the older system built in 2004 has AutoExpireDefault in the database.  

The newer system, built fresh this month, does not have AutoExpireDefault.
This post to the Dev List, may explain why there is a difference between the
two systems' databases:

http://gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/135957?search_string=AutoExpireDefault;#135957

I used phpMyAdmin to compare the two settings tables and discovered
the AutoExpireDefault difference (among other differences, of course).

On the newer system, it is quite annoying to set AutoExpire for each
program to be recorded.  On the older system, AutoExpire is always
set for programs to be recorded.

If it is possible to add AutoExpireDefault to the settings table, WITHOUT
disabling/destroying the database, could it be done with phpMyAdmin,
or from the command line, or some other way ?

Any recommendations would be most welcome.

The PVR500 is supported by the ivtv driver. Hop on over to the ivtv

Its not yet fully easy going, so some effort likely to be needed.

[mythtv-users] Playback vid corruption with 1080i (with pics)

2005-06-23 Thread Glen Dragon

I'm still seeing the problem that I reported a week or so ago.  I took 
some pictures to show the effect. Hopefully someone knows something. 
Interestingly enough it is also causing the same effect on the OSD.

Pics: http://www.jetcom.org/gallery/dragon-myth
(There is some bluring due to difficulties in taking the picture, as I 
didn't have the tripod around. It really does look like that tho)


I've tried different nvidia drivers (7664, 7167, 6629) no difference. 
I'm not sure what else to try.


-original post---

I see wierd horizontal striping every 1/2 an inch or so.  There is a 
jagged green area on the left (and covering parts of the picture). It 
sort of makes the picture shimmer. It's semi-watchable if you can 
ignore the effect (aka it doens't obstruct the picture).


This only appears on my NBC broadcasts (and PBS too i think). I think 
this means it's on 1080i broadcasts.  Fox  ABC are crystal clear. I 
don't get CBS right now. I believe that it also appears on upconvered 
material, ie the news was the same way last night.  I only see it on 
one of my frontend which happens to have an amd64 using 64bit gentoo.  
So I'm assuming that it has something to do with that. I'm also 
assuming that it's related to the fact that he signal is interlaced. 
The recording itself is fine, ie I can play it upstairs on a different 
frontend.


The machine is an AMD64 3500+, nvidia fx5300 connected DVI to a 2005FPW 
flat panel.  I have also had this problem connected to a 50+ rp-lcd tv. 
I have tried various combinations of opengl vsync and various deints 
(kernel/bob). Not using xvmc (never got it to work on this machine), 
processor utilization is ~50-60%


This *has* worked beautifully before. I don't know why/how it has 
changed.  At one point I believed that it was mmx related, but now it 
seems to be independent. I have tried actively disabling mmx in the 
config. The only thing this now accomplishes is to increase my cpu util 
 90-100%. I've seen this effect using various cvs builds on this 
machine since before 0.18

confirm the volume key works the same.


I've had remotes like the 15-2116 as well where holding down the key  
sends only one IR code instead of sending a repeating IR code. Having  
not owned the 15-2116 I'm assuming that's what is happening.

 Anyone got some information about this ?

This card reports itself as a pair of PVR-150 on a single PCI card:


I have a working system with a PVR-350 and want to add at least another

multiple tuners for watching liveTV? How does the system handle the

Deinterlacing is clearly not working in these pictures.  The stripes are
so wide because something (probably your video card) is scaling the
pictures to a resolution less than 1080 lines high.  Double-check you
have deinterlacing enabled, and check the output from 'mythfrontend

you're playing at a speed other than 1x.

[mythtv-users] plextor m402u. Which linux distribution coldplugs it properly ?

2005-06-23 Thread stanley kamithi

hi,

bought a plextor m402u for my mythtv setup ? Right now I run Mandriva
LE2005 and it
doesn't coldplug the usb tv tuner properly. I have to hotplug it by
removing the usb connection and plugging it back in...

Who out there has it working properly after a reload, with no user
intervention ?  i.e reload the PC and it loads
all the appropriate drivers and loads the firmwareand what linux
distribution are you using.

I figure certain distributions of linux do a better job then others
when it comes to coldplugging usb devices. I've never used anything
else other then mandrake linux.

many thanks ...

Re: [mythtv-users] Feature wish: identify recording type

2005-06-23 Thread Phill Edwards

 Well, the way I do it right now is using file * | grep MPEG2
 command: file recognizes original PVRX50 recordings as MPEG2 videos
 (knows nothing about MPEG4, calls them data, but one of the two is
 good enough).

I've tried this and noticed that it also calls RTJPEG files data
too. Bit of a pain that as I want to compare RTJPEG files vs MPEG4
files. It's odd that it seems to be hard to find out what format a
recording is in.

Also, re the other poster's U command, this has a different function
on my box. Whil playing a recording it speeds it up, or when viewing
recording listings it shows the program listing description.

The Question: Can I add AutoExpireDefault to the settings table in

The background: Comparing two separate MythTV systems' settings

The newer system, built fresh this month, does not have
AutoExpireDefault. This post to the Dev List, may explain why there

I used phpMyAdmin to compare the two settings tables and

On the newer system, it is quite annoying to set AutoExpire for each

set for programs to be recorded.

If it is possible to add AutoExpireDefault to the settings table,
WITHOUT disabling/destroying the database, could it be done with
phpMyAdmin, or from the command line, or some other way ?

Any recommendations would be most welcome.

I just added it manually to the database (mysql, phpadmin, etc. are
all fine). The rest of the source code still honors the setting (if
present in the database); it's just that the UI was removed from
mythfrontend setup (for some still-unknown reason).

Just an update, I decided to pickup the Harmony 680 which is on sale

 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

 Have somebody how to resolve this issue ?

A very strange thing just happened to my MythTV setup.  All of a sudden, when attempting to view the listing of recorded shows, mythfrontend reports 
Sorry, there are no recordings.  It worked fine a few days ago when I watched a new recording.  Then I went away for the weekend and when I came back, this happened.


My setup:
Myth .18.1 from apt-get repositories
Fedora Core 3
Installed using Jarod's guide

Here is what I've tried:

- I can use MythWeb to list them, and even delete them.
- Nuvexport sees them and allows me to convert them.
- The files exist in the /var/mythtv folder.
- An experience Linux friend of mine used Ethereal to sniff the traffic between 
the frontend and the backend, but it looks like they are talking.
- There are no error messages in the console window even when running if very 
verbose mode.
- Backend log reports nothing.
- I've restarted both frontend and backend and then rebooted and still no luck.
- Deleted all shows from the recorded table except one show that I've had in 
there for about 1 year and it still says the same thing.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Any suggestions for troubleshooting this 
one?  I am desperate here!

OK I will create the MythCenter v2 despite the upcoming themeing
engine, but such knowledge as you mentioned here is very useful. Where
can I find a comprehensive documentation about theme creation? I found
some things here and there, but nothing seems to cover every aspect. In
the most hypothetical situation I want to put out a theme, an osd
and a bootsplash theme to match, but I want it to be easily upgradeable
against new theme engines and what not, so some efficient coding would
be nice. BTW, do you know how to implement a running clock (like the
WM's taskbar one) into a theme? I want that too :)

could be referred to as something like "bigsize, mediumsize, smallsize,

central place, or even obey the setup options.

  
  They can be, several of them do, however on a 100dpi display they

 I just added it manually to the database (mysql, phpadmin, etc. are
 all fine). The rest of the source code still honors the setting (if

 mythfrontend setup (for some still-unknown reason).

I think this was removed in Daniel's big Auto-Expire patch.  I added
the setting back to the settings screen, but it's only in the subversion

get it from there.

Here is a little more info based on the responses thus far:

- Not running NFS.  I think it is called ext3/extended3.
- Frontend, backend, and mythweb are all on the same box.
- I've tried running frontend as root and same problem.
- I can watch Live TV.
- I can view upcoming recordings and past recordings from the frontend

Any other thoughts?  Should I look at the source code to see the query 
that is used to retrieve the show names in case it joins other tables to 
the 'recorded' table.  Remember I deleted all records from that table 
but one good one.  This was in case a show name/info had some special 
characters.  It worked on a Thursday.  Recorded some shows over the 
weekend.  Then I tried to watch them on Monday.  Then BAM, this happened!

Re: [mythtv-users] Big fat blue bar with Internal player

2005-06-23 Thread James Oltman

So does everyone think I am crazy?  


  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'm not sure I'd call it a problem with the NVIDIA driver.  Usually,
 when a driver causes hardware to do exactly what the software requests,
 that's not considered a problem.  ;)
 
 Xv--the X Windows Video Extension--is built around the idea that a video
 area is defined by using a specific color, the color key.  Any pixels on
 screen that were painted that color are replaced with the appropriate
 colors for the video being played.  This allows Xv to use the hardware
 to do a color replacement (think green-screens as used in movie
 making) which is much faster than having to determine the appropriate
 boundaries for the video using valid/invalid flags, clipping, etc.
 
 So, why is the default color key an unusal and very unappealing
 blue-green color that's never used anywhere?  Well, exactly /because/
 it's an unusual, unappealing color that's never used anywhere.  If you
 set the color key to 0 (black) as shown above and put an xterm terminal
 window with black foreground on top of the video while it's playing, you
 might notice the video appearing in the black behind the words (or at
 least within the cursor and scrollbars--antialiased text may prevent it
 from showing through the words).  Or, start a terminal with xterm -bg
 black -fg white and you can hack your Myth code right on top of TV (a
 true lightweight transparent window--all handled in hardware unlike
 aterm/eterm/etc.).  By using a color that's not ever used, this
 accidental replacement never occurs.  The valid range of values for
 the colorkey is 0 through 2147483615, so my recommendation is to pick
 something close to--but not equal to--0, such as 10 or 30 or even 1 (all
 of which are only likely to be used for the occasional pixel in
 antialiased text).
 
 Since MythTV is likely to be used such that there are never windows on
 top of the video, using a color key of 0 is not a problem, but on your
 desktop it's likely to cause some unusal (disconcerting?/strangely
 appealing?) effects you might not expect.  And, since human eyes can't
 distinguish between 0 and 10, you might as well choose something
 appropriate that won't be a problem anywhere.
 
 Just wanted to ensure blame doesn't go misplaced.  I'll admit NVIDIA has
 some work to do on their drivers--but not here.  :)
 
 Mike

The two are not mututally exclusive.  However that's a read herring

I learned the volume keys to my audio receiver (a DVD

volume adjustment, I have to repeatedly press and release the RS

Is this normal? Is there a trick to being able to just hold down the

The stock audio receiver remote control allows me to hold down the

to delete a show (at the Yes, Yes and allow re-record, No screen) or when I 
leave the Watch Recordings screen.  Nothing crashes; the frontend simply 
stops responding, and the only way to get it back is to stop and restart 
the frontend.

For some reason, my volume key works great for up (I just hold it
down), but for down I have to repeatedly press.  Quite annoying.  I
haven't plugged the JP1 in yet (even though I have the cable), but
when I have some time I'm going to try and resolve this.

I presume you have a single-channel DVI.  It almost looks to me like
the set is on the hairy edge of sync with that signal.  The 720p
signals push slightly less information, which could explain why the ABC
broadcasts work.

I don't suppose the set has a VGA input for comparison?  (Some do, like
my old-tech Pioneer RPTV with quaint CRT technology.)

 Deinterlacing is clearly not working in these pictures.  The stripes are
 so wide because something (probably your video card) is scaling the
 pictures to a resolution less than 1080 lines high.  Double-check you
 have deinterlacing enabled, and check the output from 'mythfrontend
 --verbose playback'.  Also note that bob deinterlacing is disabled if
 you're playing at a speed other than 1x.

Doug is right on.  That is classic when resizing non-deinterlaced
content.  You can also see this problem if your filter chain is in the
wrong order, and you resize *before* deinterlacing.  You should always
de-interlace prior to resizing.

Re: [mythtv-users] plextor m402u. Which linux distribution coldplugs it properly ?

2005-06-23 Thread EC

Hmmm, on my distribution (gentoo), at least, the coldplug scripts use a
slightly different vendor id than the hotplug scripts (coldplug has a
leading 0).  I don't know if it's a kernel issue, a module loading order
issue, or a cold/hot plug issue.

   I just tweaked the /etc/hotplug/usb/wis-ezusb (supplied by plextor)
script to accept either, and everything (ie device cold, computer cold;
device hot, computer cold; device cold, computer hot; and device hot,
computer hot) works.

   Here is a quick patch for the wis-ezusb that works for me (YMMV).
Just copy it to the directory:/etc/hotplug/usb (or wherever your hotplug
usb vendor scripts live), and do patch  PATCH_FILE.  It's a pretty
trivial change (adds just 3 characters).

 hi,
 
 bought a plextor m402u for my mythtv setup ? Right now I run Mandriva
 LE2005 and it
 doesn't coldplug the usb tv tuner properly. I have to hotplug it by
 removing the usb connection and plugging it back in...
 
 Who out there has it working properly after a reload, with no user
 intervention ?  i.e reload the PC and it loads
 all the appropriate drivers and loads the firmwareand what linux
 distribution are you using.
 
 I figure certain distributions of linux do a better job then others
 when it comes to coldplugging usb devices. I've never used anything
 else other then mandrake linux.
 
 many thanks ...

I'm seeing the frontend 'crash' when exiting the watch recordings screen. What

I'm not a 15-2116 owner, but on my JP1 remote I created a macro for
delete. It hits escape, then right, then up (This gets you to the

Umm, so to what button did you assign that macro? :)

FWIW, I don't think you need to program a macro for delete; you can
just program the D keystroke and get the same effect (more flexibly,
because you can also hit D in the Watch Recordings screen, whereas
I think your macro only applies when you're actually watching
something, and can't be used in the Watch Recordings screen).

So yeah, this was more a 15-2116-specific question, since it doesn't
have a WAF-fy Clear or Delete button anywhere like the TiVo
remote.

2005-06-23 Thread Michael Jones

I have a bunch of audio books in my mp3 library and when the music library

Is there a way to change the default sort order for some or all of the

I think the next step is for you to use irrecord and record the raw

something usable. I'm sure you can probably do that step yourself if

[mythtv-users] Problem with ending playback

My MythTV works perfectly stable and reliable, except for one problem:
it definitely does not like it when I stop watching TV.

Mythfrontend sometimes dumps core when I exit live TV or recording
playback. Also, mythvideo quite often refuses to exit movie playback
and immediately starts playing the movie again from the beginning.
Usually the second exit attempt works, but sometimes it gets stuck in
a loop.

Are the issues known (0.18.1 Myth from ATRPMs on FC3)? Anything I can
do to help the developers identify and track these problems?

 If I go back to a new install of Fedora Core 1 , what kind of challenges
 will I face with the apt-repositories and is there a HOW TO still available
 to point me to the proper files?  

since MythTV has evolved a lot since any of the FC1 docs were written
or maintained, I would suspect that any FC1 HOWTOs would be quite
dated and would require a fair degree of interpretation.

I'm happily still on FC1 (although I've updated so many packages from
source now that it's hardly FC1 anymore). I see very infrequent
package updates for FC1 in general, and if I were building a new box
from scratch, I'd definitely use a more recent and actively supported
distribution as my base.

If my FC1 mythtv box imploded tonight and I had to start from
scratch..., at the moment, I'd use Ubuntu, but... I'd estimate that
building mythtv on FC3 at the moment is probably the path of least
resistance.

Have you thought about trying to *FIX* whatever your issues are in
your current mythtv setup? That actually might be a lot less work than
a reinstall, and you'll learn a lot, too.

 OK I will create the MythCenter v2 despite the upcoming themeing engine, but
 such knowledge as you mentioned here is very useful. Where can I find a
 comprehensive documentation about theme creation? I found some things here
 and there, but nothing seems to cover every aspect. In the most hypothetical
 situation I want to put out a theme, an osd and a bootsplash theme to match,
 but I want it to be easily upgradeable against new theme engines and what
 not, so some efficient coding would be nice. BTW, do you know how to
 implement a running clock (like the WM's taskbar one) into a theme? I want
 that too :)

 It would be really nice if the themes could be written where all of the

could be referred to as something like bigsize, mediumsize,

central place, or even obey the setup options.
 
 They can be, several of them do, however on a 100dpi display they
should all
 be readable fit properly at their default
 size.

So, what is the correct way of configuring a MythTV box to output to
a 46 720p widescreen TV?  I'd like to maintain 1:1 pixel mapping, so
running at 800x600 is out of the question.  I'm currently have X
forced to run at 100dpi, but I still see UI artifacts using the
Minimalist-Wide theme (ie. Mythmusic tree graphic doesn't line up with
the text, Watch Recordings list has 2 items hidden behind the
description at the bottom, Various menu item text disappears depending
on what I currently have highlighted).

[mythtv-users] [mythstream] No full screen

2005-06-23 Thread Koen Erens

Hi,

just spent some time on getting some online video feeds work with
mythstream. 

But; i can hear sound, but there only a blue screen where the video 
should be.

i tried mplayer and xine as streamhandler, but both of them refuse to work
if i load the stream by hand they work.

I use fedora core 3 with mythtv 18.1 from the atrpm , mythstream tv is also from
the atrpm 

anyone else have this problem? i used to have a gentoo box before this one
and the video worked perfectly

regards,

Koen


ps.
this are the streams i tried (only usefull for dutch people) it are the
streams from www.nederland4.nl

Use a 720p modeline...  there's been a few of them posted to the mailing list.

That's a given.

 I'm currently have X forced to run at 100dpi, but I still see UI artifacts 
 using the
 Minimalist-Wide theme 

Minimalist-Wide is something I slapped together as a proof of concept
and as such it has MANY rough edges.  I'm currently working on a
rewrite that looks MUCH better, and should use fewer graphics.
