Lots of people think so, including my sister, who, while she's pretty sharp, really mostly wants it to be an appliance as well. Is this sort of question-talking annoying? You bet. :-) Stick with hardware-MPEG cards like the PVR-250, pick the right VGA/NTSC-out card and distribution, and avoid the pinch-y chipsets on motherboards, and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Cheers, -- jra ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users Wow, Thanks for all the great and fast responses. Several of you stressed the importance of the right hardware to make things go smoothly. Here the PVR-250 was even mentioned. However, I don't think I can use the PVR-250 because I don't think it can handle OTA HDTV. And in the previous responses I don't think anybody mentioned using HDTV. So maybe the first follow-up question should be, Are any of you using it successfully with HDTV? Assuming the answer is yes, I would like to start specifying hardware. So maybe I should explain what I expect minimally from Myth. I would like to setup _*ONE *_box that can record one HDTV show (probably 1080i or 720p) while being able to pause live HDTV (same resolution) for another show or watch a DVD. I have seen some posts here that imply that MythTV/the hardware chokes under this kind of treasure. Hopefully this is not the case for Myth and it is just bad hardware. All of this needs to work with my Toshiba 62hm94 (in HD of course). So based on what I minimally expect from Myth. Please help me spec the box. Minimal Processor speed? Probably AMD (to cut down on heat and noise)? HD Tuner Card (I'll start with just one to get things working.)? Video Card? I don't know if a specific DVD drive matters, but if it does please recommend one? Thanks, Chris Lopeman Ok.. for what you are saying I would recommend P4 2.4 512meg ram 2 pchdtv or air2pc cards (one for watching one for recording.) Nvidia Geforce card (Make your own version preference. I'm using an FX 5700LE due to power consumption issues. Geforces are recommended for their ability to output to hdtv and for onboard encoding to help lower cpu load. Without a Geforce you will need a more powerfull cpu) Sound blaster Audigy4 (for 7.1) I would recommend SATA or SCSI hdd for data rates. It would help with drive access speeds for watching/recording 2 streams at once. It might not be as important for OTA as for ASTC over Cable. If you also want to capture analog I would recommend a PVR-150/250, or 2 if you ever intend to watch and record analog at the same time. Using a PVR-500 you would only need 1 card as it has 2 decoders and thus can perform as 2 cards. Althou the drivers are still being worked on and many report that they get no sound on the second decoder. There is a supposed fix for it if you search the list thou. For reference, My system P4 3.2E Prescott(overkill) 512meg ram 1 PVR-350(WASTE as I'm not using the TV Out, should have gone with a 250. 150/500 were not out at the time I built it. Would have done a 500 if they were.) 1 PCHDTV-HD3000 Geforce FX 5700LE FIC Condor Case/MoBo using Onboard audio 80Gig and 250Gig Maxtor SATA (80 is about 6g for / with the rest used for /video and the 250 is all used for /record) HDTV works great on it but not in Myth at this time. This is not the fault of Myth but my cable provider. They do not send PSIP data so the auto-scan detects the streams but can not tune the channels. I am still waiting on the code to import from the PMT data. Would do it myself if I knew how to code. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: Query for the scheduled recording
Hi, I am trying to write a small app that will serve as a replacement
for the system's shutdown/reboot/halt but with one major difference
- it will query the mythtv database to get the time of the next
scheduled recording and set the BIOS wakeup time.
The purpose of this app is to enable the user to manually
shutdown the box and still have it automatically wakeup when
the time comes.
I have made some pretty good progress but now I need to find
out the time of the next recording from the database. I looked at
the code for an example of the SQL query and found out that
the backend just keeps a list of all the scheduled recordings and
does not query the DB at time of shutdown.
Can someone help me out and let me know the query that will
allow me to get information on the next recording(s). It can be
a query that will return all scheduled recordings. I can change it to fit.
Thanks for your help!
-- Mitko
I'm actually working on a welcome/status app that is a myth style
themed dialog that among other things shows what the next scheduled
recording is. It's a lot simpler than you think to get the schedule. See
code below.
It could be my new app will do what you want it to. Its really designed
for people like you and me who don't want to leave the myth computer
running 24hrs a day but do want it to still record scheduled recordings.
It compliments the existing shutdown/wakeup stuff which can be made
to work as you want if it is setup properly.
I still have a few issues to fix. I'll send the patch to the tracker when
it's
ready.

It didn't import completely, failing about line 6 in the script that nuvexport wrote, but it did import well enough for me to be able to watch it. However, I noticed some errors with this table when a couple of new shows were recorded. I also noticed that pressing the 'e' key while watching the new shows would not take me into edit mode. In the docs, it talks about mysqlcheck. Running this did report that the table was damaged. I then ran it again, with the -r (repair) option, again as per some docs. It seemed to fix the table but had issues later in the repair with mythconverg.smartplaylistcategory. Also, something very bad happened at this point because running it again started giving errors that the tables were read only. Running mythtv, all data about tv guide, and recorded shows etc was missing. More than a little worried :-(, I tried to shut down the mysqld server, and restart it, but it could not be shutdown (according to mandriva control centre). I rebooted the whole box at this point, and many messages about readonly file systems in the area of /var were reported as it shut down. On reboot, significant repairs were needed to /dev/sda8 (which is where /var is mounted on my system). Ok, so, deep breath... I log in and check mysqld. It is running. I stop and restart it for good measure. All working. I start mythbackend, and then mythfrontend. Luckily, all my data is back. Good, so I start a show recording, and then go and watch it while still recording. All working, AND I can go into edit mode. So it's looking good. Mysqlcheck still reports one problem mythconverg.smartplaylistcategory error: File './mythconverg/smartplaylistcategory.MYD' not found (Errcode: 2) (what is that?) Now, also, I want to back up my data at this point. Being new to myth, I haven't done this before, but the docs look straightforward enough. However, a small question. Should ... mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c mythtv_backup.sql be run with the database up and running, but should I make sure myth (front and backend) is NOT running when I do it? What else should I do? Should I delete the database and recreate it, or will it be OK now? If I do recreate it, should I import the data back in, or would that bring back corruption from the above incident? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Fixing my no data problem in EPG
I'm a noobie, but have you setup mythfilldatabase in cron? If so, maybe the cron job isn't working correctly. Try running mythfilldatabase from the command line and see if it populates the database. On my connection, it takes FOREVER to download the channel guide data. That it works after resetting the database suggests that the database and mtyh setup is good, just the database isn't getting populated. My EPG (TV Guide) shows no data for a large number of channels when viewing further that 2 days into the future. So far, I've been correcting this by doing the following: - run mythtvsetup - erase program data when prompted (DO NOT erase capture card settings) - create Zap2It profile - assign to input - exit - run mythfilldatabase I will then have EPG data for all channels for 12-14 days. But day by day, this dwindles down until there is only 2 days of data for most channels. Any idea how to fix this? I am running MythTV 16.1, FC1, using Datadirect.

Hello, My question is this. For anyone with an M10k, I just got mine a few days ago. I was curious if it's normal for the M10k's to have audio only come out of the left analog channel without tweaking? I've been searching mailing lists and I guess I just can't find the right search words to find this problem. If you'd like to read further, you can. But I want to make sure I didn't receive a bad mobo. So this is what i tried: I installed FC4 (tweaking around Jarod's guide), and during the install speaker test, only left channel worked during speaker test. Updated to the latest FC4 kernel, then I updated ALSA (apt-get) and everything, tried multiple alsamixer configs, and aRts and what not, but no luck. Still only left channel would output sound. So I installed FC3. Same exact thing, identical procedure, updating to latest kernels and alsa, still only left channel sound only. So I boot up knoppix 3.9. Same thing on boot. I installed SuSE 9.3 and no sound whatsoever. I tried to install Windows just so I could try VIA's drivers, but the boot CD wouldn't even get past the black screen saying searching for hardware configuration. It was at this point I got really curious about if my mobo is bad. -John. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Just got my Directv installed yesterday and have been trying to find the IR codes for these boxes. I have my lirc setup on my gentoo box seems ok thus far but can test anything without the codes as I'm using a homebrew ir transmit to change channels for mythtv. Thanks Jeff (as posted on the very quiet lirc list, sorry for the double post but hoping someone here knows where to find the remote codes so I can have myth change channels) -- Jeff Muddy Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] MythTV at Open Tech 2005
Hi Just thought everyone might be interested to know that I did a presentation this morning at Open Tech 2005 in West London. The event was recorded so will be viewable over the next couple of days, and the slides I used in the presentation will be available for download http://www.ukuug.org/events/opentech2005/ I was anticipating doing an in depth presentation on the features of Myth, but the organisers felt it would be more appropriate to discuss the technical side of things and how to do an implementation. (Mind you, with a 10 minute slot, that was difficult). So, don't be too upset if I didn't mention this feature or that feature. Also, in my final sum up slide I touched on the future of Myth, but did stress that I wasn't part of the development team and these were just my opinion. Anyway, it seemed to go down well, and I hope I've done my part in getting the word out about this fantastic project Cheers Mike ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Live Recorded TV hangs failures on amd64
Todd Ignasiak wrote: There is a known problem with pthreads in Debian based AMD64 systems. I have installed the patch, and I no longer get the black screen / failed live-tv viewing. Here is a link with some more info, and a MythTV patch to work around it: http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/03/msg00940.html Based on all the search hits I got on this issue, I know it has frustrated others, and I certainly spent a lot of time diagnosing it. It would be nice to have some sort of method to help people with these, and other, known issues. Such as: a support document/database listing issues per platform; A check in 'configure' that does a if arch=athlon64 and distro=debian then warn user about problem he will definitely have but is hard to solve; or some #ifdef's in the code to incorporate the workaround for the problem cases. Is this something that anyone has seen on AMD64 and FC3? I've got .18.1 up and running (sort of) on FC3. Records and such just fine, but live TV playback gives me the color key error, then the following, and craps out. It might play about 1 or 2 seconds of video prior to dying. I've tried XvMC, libmpeg, OpenGL sync, video sync (experimental) to see if it was some combo of options. Another thing I'm noticing is that there are a lot of QT errors after the latest update I did. Finally, this is the latest 2.6.12 kernel from fedora.

Not sure why it always has all the data for the next 2 days - as it appears to be skipping those as well.Anymore ideas would be appreciated.I'm a noobie, but have you setup mythfilldatabase in cron? If so, maybe the cron job isn't working correctly. Try running mythfilldatabase from the command line and see if it populates the database. On my connection, it takes FOREVER to download the channel guide data. That it works after resetting the database suggests that the database and mtyh setup is good, just the database isn't getting populated. My EPG (TV Guide) shows "no data" for a large number of channels when viewing further that 2 days into the future. So far, I've been correcting this by doing the following: - run "mythtvsetup" - erase program data when prompted (DO NOT erase capture card settings) - create Zap2It profile - assign to input - exit - run "mythfilldatabase" I will then have EPG data for all channels for 12-14 days. But day by day, this dwindles down until there is only 2 days of data for most channels. Any idea how to fix this? I am running MythTV 16.1, FC1, using Datadirect. Thanks for any insights anyone has. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Dvico DVB-t lite capture card install issues under 2.6.11-1.35_FC3
Hi All, Have searched through the various threads but don't seem to have come across this issue. I am very new at this(Linux and Mythtv)so any help, directions, URL's etc would be greatly appreciated. Problem: I have followed Jarrods instructions exactly as it says. My problem starts when i get to the capture card. I have tried to install a DVB-t lite card using the jump off to Jani's instructions. This looks to be working until i get to loading the DVICO modules for the first time. I get the error message that the file exists and there is no such file or directory. I understand that this may be due to the fact that there is already support in this kernel. Do i need to activate it or something as when i run mythtvsetup and get to the capture card - the heading for dvb cards are there, but it does not see my card. I also found that there is no /dev/dvb/ directory. Why is this ??? Regards Justin ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] nuvexport of HDTV shows retains black borders
Hello, I have tried a handful of tests and I do not know how to get around this problem. I have an HD3000 card captuirng OTA DTV. The resulting captured, non-widesreen shows have a black border around them and the widescreen shows have the black border on top and on bottom. When I use nuvexport to XviD the black bordrs remain in the resulting .avi file. When I crop the overscan (closed captioning), the overscan does go away but the black bordres remain. So it appears that the captured shows do not get transmitted with black borders because mythtranscode seems to be feeding the show without black borders to nuvexport. The resulting .avi still has black borders though. The captured shows still have a blackborder when viewed through mythfrontend. I am not bothered so much by mythfrontend showing the black borders (although if it didn't that would be a plus) because I can adjust the aspect ratio but I would like the .avi to not have black borders. Any suggestions or debugging tips? TIA Steve __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Some of us Canadians have noticed that many of our listings only have 11 days worth of data while the rest have 14. (Specifically, the local and international listings are 14-day, while the national networks delivered from Toronto are 11-day.) When mythfilldatabase runs, it seems to set the I have data flag for each date globally rather than on a channel-by-channel basis. If there are enough holes in the schedule then it will retry downloading that day's listings every night. Once a certain percentage of the time slots have data in them myth stops trying to find more data (assuming the holes are off air or infomercial time, I guess). If you have a bunch of 11-day channels and only a few 14-day channels then this works out OK, as Myth tries to get days 12 through 14 every night. If you have mostly 14-day channels and only a few 11-day channels then those days may be marked as complete, in which case you don't get any data for the 11-day channels until the forced TBD update the night before the air date. The obvious solution is to tell mythfilldatabase to limit itself to 10 or 11 days of listings so that there is always data available for the short-schedule channels on the first attempt. Other solutions would be to find a way to adjust the threshold percentage at which a day's schedule is considered complete, or to find a way to make a certain range of future dates mandatory updates (so that the percentage of filled time slots is not considered beyond day 10, for example, meaning that days 2, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are all downloaded every night).

This is what I have had to recently do. mythfilldatabase was checking that there where at least 4 times as many programs starting after 6pm for a given source as there are channels. This is in programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp . After changing the code to require only twice as many programs starting after 10pm as there are channels, my problem was fixed. (My data was only missing for cable channels after 10pm). If you search for d 18 in that file, that is the sql line that gets the number of programs starting after 6pm (18:00), and about twelve lines down is a line that ends in chancnt * 4, that decides if there are enough programs for that source. I ran the query manually against filled schedules, and broken schedules, to come up with the timespan and multiplier that fixed my issue. I can't remember if someone already mentioned this, but the reason you always have two good days of data is that mythfilldatabase always refreshes the data for tomorrow, even if it is full, in case there had been scheduling changes. -Michael ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Quick question about Mythtranscode and mytcutlist
I'm very sorry if this is covered somewhere in the documentation, or on this list, but I've done a couple of searches and haven't found what I'm looking for. Everything works fine. I record programs, and I have most of my programs set to transcode using one of the recording profiles through myth (so transcoding is automatically started after commercial flagging). What I'm wondering is if there is a way to extract the commercials from this file, without re-transcoding it. So, I can just copy the .nuv file to another machine and watch it through some other program (not mythtv) and not have the commercials in there. Nuvexport (option 9 from the main menu MPEG2-MPEG2 cut only) seems like my best bet, but it doesn't like my transcoded recordings (Not an MPEG recording, moving on). I'm using Fedora Core 3, and for my setup I used Jarod's guide (www.wilsonet.com - thank you very much for this BTW :), with the latest version of myth on atrpms website in case that matters. I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance. James ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Consecutive recordings misses the second recording pvr 250
I have a pvr 250 setup as my primary tuner on my myth network and it is housed in a slave backend ( I changed the card's id in mysql so it gets picked first in order to use up the slave backend local storage first). Everything works and when there are simultaneous recordings, tuner 2 and tuner 3 from the master get second and third priority. My problem is when there is only one recording scheduled at a time but for consecutive times. For example, show A 10:00-11:00. Show B 11:00-12:00. Both are scheduled for the pvr 250 to record. However, Show B doesn't get recorded because mythtv complains that the tuner is already busy. Anybody have a workaround for this?

I have the Dvico Lite card working with no problems using Jarods guide and kernel 2.6.10 (I haven't had a chance to upgrade to 2.6.11 yet but I don't predict any problems.). You don't need to rebuild anything --- the kernel and packages from atrpms are good enough. My main problem was finding out the magic dance steps to get the card running. Here's what works for me: modprobe dvb-core modprobe bt878 modprobe dvb-bt8xx modprobe bttv card=0x80. Try that and then run the setup. The card should then be recognized and you can run the tuning. If that works make yourself a script to do it at system start.

[mythtv-users] IR receiver that only does RC-5
Hi all, I have a PVR-250 and a PVR-500 in my MythTV machine, and I'm using the PVR-250's IR receiver. Unfortunately, the jack no longer properly fits into the socket for the IR receiver (it's loose), so it doesn't work anymore. I know that there are a lot of designs for IR receivers out there, but I also use an IR keyboard. I do know that the keyboard does not conflict with the Hauppauge receiver, presumably because it only supports RC-5 (and even then, I think, a subset of it), but it does conflict when using an irman. Does anybody know of any IR receivers (serial or USB) that only accept something similar to the Hauppauge IR receiver?
