The problem that your DVDs don't have audio aren't related to the
AUDIO_TS Diectory there's not supposed to be anything in there for a
normal Video DVD; audio+video are multiplexed together into the .vob
files in the VIDEO_TS directory. The logfile produced by mythburn
(output of mythburn.sh script) might be useful in determining what's
wrong.

Assuming the other computer has MPEG2 playback codecs and the nuv file
comes from either DVB or was recorded by an ivtv capture card, you
should be able to play them (they are essentially MPEG2 files renamed
to nuv). If the file was recorded by a non-hardware card, I'm not sure
you can (I've never tried with non DVB/ivtv files) unless the other
system can play Nuppelvideo files.

Assuming you have the tools already installed, save the script into a
file (say makedvd.sh)

---cut --
#!/bin/sh
mkfifo aud0
mkfifo vid0
mkfifo dvdmpg

mpeg2desc -a0 < $1 > aud0 &
mpeg2desc -v0 < $1 > vid0 &
mplex -f 8 -V -o dvdmpg aud0 vid0 &
dvdauthor -o $2 -f dvdmpg
dvdauthor -o $2 -T

rm aud0
rm vid0
rm dvdmpg
---cut --

Make sure the file is marked as executable and then run:

./makedvd.sh /path_to/input.mpg /path_to/output.vob

and you *should* get a DVD file at the end of it. Replace
input/ouput/path for the actual filenames you have.

Hey there.  my setup - Mythtv 18.1 with DVB-T cards in Sydney.

Boy, do I regret that.
I cannot believe how @#$ hard this is ( especially using bloody Windows )
   



Easiest Linux-only way I know off:

1. Use ProjectX (http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x ) to demux
the DVB stream / cut out commercials I do this via X11, but I've seen
a CLI-way to use it somewhere in the archives.

2. Use mplex to bring the streams back together:
mplex -f 8 -o xyz.mpg xyz.m2v xyz.mp2

3. copy the resulting mpg into a DVD file system with dvdauthor:
dvdauthor -o DVD xyz.mpg

4. Repeat 1-3 until you have all the stuff you want on the DVD

5. Finalize the DVD file system:
dvdauthor -T -o DVD

6. Put a blankDVD in your DVD writer and burn the stuff:
growisofs -Z /dev/WHATEVER-YOUR-DVD-WRITER-IS -dvd-video DVD

On my underpowered PIII 600, the whole process takes about 45 Minutes
for an average movie.

Jens

I tried both ProjectX and MythBurn (including just running mythtvburn.sh 
script) and I have the same problem: dvdauthor produces nothing in AUDIO 
directory, and as result no sound. The xyz.mpg (above) is absolutely 
fine, that is with sound and video and excellent quality. Mythtvburn is 
more complex sequence (since it generates XML for dvdauthor that 
includes menus, etc) - but the actual file after "bringing the streams 
back together" that goes into dvdauthor has all the sounds as well.


I have FC4, ProjectX 0.82, dvdauthor 0.6.11
mjpegtools mplex-2 version 1.6.3-rc1 (2.2.3)

I think I am so-so close, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sweet! I'm exactly the same, I never check the simpler things because
'what could be wrong with them?!' It happened before with a friend's
printer which suddenly refused to work. I got them to make sure it was
plugged in but it still refused to work, so I spent a while checking
the PC hardware and reinstalling drivers, but still nothing. Only then
did I notice the data cable only 90% in the port ... check the simple
things first!

missing?

I do notice that regardless of it I have the lirc_atiusb line that
dmesg still comments about installing an x10 wireless reciever, and
lirc0 is still there, I am begining to wonder if recompiling the
kernel module ati_remote to have better key bindings is going to be
easier than setting up lirc, and I hate compiling, let alone editing

Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but...

I decided to test the wall jack that the box is hooked up to, and --
you guessed it -- no signal.  So I hooked my Myth box up elsewhere,
and with tuner 39, both cards work!

>From the keys.txt file:

Without the stickykeys option selected:

- Left arrow to rewind the configured number of seconds.  (default is 5)
- Right arrow to fast forward the configured number of seconds. (default is 30)
- < starts rewind mode as if stickykeys are selected.
- > starts fast forward mode as if stickykeys are selected.

With the stickykeys option selected:

- Right starts fast forward mode.
- Left starts rewind mode.
   While in fast forward or rewind mode.
   - Left/Right increases the ff/rew speed.
   - 0 plays at normal speed, but leaves the time indicator on screen.
   - 1 or 2 plays back more slowly than normal ff/rew speed (1 is slowest).
   - 3 plays back at normal ff/rew speed.
   - 4 - 9 plays back faster than normal ff/rew speed (9 is fastest).
   - Space exits fast forward or rewind mode.


I'd check to see if the remote buttons are assigned to any other
actions (esp skips which are PgUp and PgDown) in your lircrc file.
Maybe they are interfering with each other? Up, Down, Left and Right
are the names used in the lircrc file for the cursor keys, so I'd
check to make sure that they are appropriately configured.

Apart from that, and because the keyboard works normally, as long as
the remote is configured accordingly, it 'should just work'. Have you
tried assigning unused buttons (if you have one) to Left and Right to
see if the problem persists.

I'd also make sure your database tables are free from errors as this
too can cause erratic skipping.

2)  When you do  LCDd -h do you see the HD44780 driver as being available.
- LCDproc installed in usr/local/

3)  If you get garbled display ... Play with the cable, my printerport

[mythtv-users] ffwd / rew problem

[Ted Healey]

Lirc works great save for one thing, for me. I bought a serial
receiver from the lirc.org recommended german guy and it works great,
very good reception from a long ways away. i configured it with the
HOWTO, literally copy and paste and load the modules and it worked
right away.

I would like to have sticky keys turned on, but I have a problem. I
have the ffwd key assigned to Right, and when I hit it, it says
Forward, and then in the console I get Prebuffering pause, and the
display more or less freezes until I hit the Play button and then it
plays just fine. (no xmvc, standard definition programming, nvidia
card / driver...)

I tried >, and >> and most everything else I could think in lircrc of
but the combination of lirc and ffwd and sticky keys and Left and
Right just doesn't work like every other button does.

irw looks fine, it is getting the right mappings out of /etc/lircd.conf..

If I use the keyboard, and hit the Right key, it goes forward and works great.

So, just to get it working, I turned sticky keys off. Now, when I hit
the fast forward button, it goes ahead 30 seconds as I would expect.
If I hit it again pretty soon (typically there are 3-5 commercials
lined up), then it for some reason does a Jump Ahead (10 minutes).

The cure for this seems to be to hit the forward button, let it go 30
secs, then wait however long until the OSD goes away, and once I'm
sure it's done, then hit forward again, which then goes 30 seconds
again.

Really not a problem for me, but for everyone else in the family they
wind up in unexpected places, it's counterintuitive. The keyboard
worked great for everyone, with the keyboard it was Tivo-like sticky
keys where it accelerates the more times you hit Forward, you hit
Enter and it plays and everyone is happy.

Any ideas appreciated.

pvr:/dev/video0:norm=ntsc:size=720x576:frequency=576250:bitrate=300:maxbitrate=400
--cr-average 1000 -I http --http-host=:8002 --sout-transcode-fps=20
--sout-transcode-deinterlace
":sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,acodec=mp3,vb=500,ab=32,scale=.5}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-ms-asf},mux=asf,url=:8001}"

It's streaming really well over my wireless connection as i write. (GO
Roughnecks!)

I'll work on incorporating it into mythstream next.

[mythtv-users] LCDproc and MythTV

[Mat Kyne]

Hi. I am trying to setup LCDproc to work on my Mythbox. I have the system 
setup for dual boot to the other OS, and while running that OS and LCD 
Smartie, the display works flawlessly. (so I know it is wired correctly.) I 
have downloaded the latest version of LCDproc from their website, extracted 
the tarball, then did a "./configure --hd44780 && make && make install" and 
when it is done I try to start LCDproc, but I don't think I am doing it 
correctly. If anyone out there in MythTV land has gotten this up and running 
and working with MythTV, I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Try the following (for both identical cards, substituting xx for the
tuner values again) to replace the bttv line you have at the moment.
Not sure if it will work though. I'd post the output of your lsmod and
lspci -v. Because it's a Hauppauge and 878 based it should all
autodetect.


alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
alias char-major-81-1   bttv
options bttvcard=10,10 radio=0,0
options tuner   type=xx,xx

install bttv { modprobe -k tuner; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time
--ignore-install bttv


If this doesn't work, I'd take it to the video4linux mailing list as
you may get some more tips and tricks there.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythmusic issues

[Dewey Smolka]

I've found that the music module likes to crash to the desktop with a
seg fault if mythvideo was playing previoulsy but the machine has been
idle for a while. I haven't been able to track down what's wrong, but
restarting mythfrontend in the morning is no big deal. It doesn't seem
to mind if it's been idle after playing music.

It sounds to me like you have database issues. Every time you change
any files in your music directory, you have to go to Setup -> Music
Setup -> Scan for New Music. If the files are on a network share, make
sure it's working, and make sure the MythTV user can read the music
directory -- and can write if you're ripping CDs.

I find it's generally easier to use direcotry sorting rather than id3
but you need to plan your directory structure. I keep everything in
~/music/genre/artist/album/track.ogg. In the music setup, there's a
sorting option. Set it to directory.

I'd really like it if the playlists were a bit easier to deal with,
but it still works well if you just set a default playlist and
randomize. I find it's a lot easier to change the playlist later by
pressing '3' if you know where all your music is because you put it in
/genre/artist/album/ than to worry about where id3 sorting might have
put it.

I don't know what the limits of the database are, but I run a P3 700
with a Turtle Beach Riviera card. I usually keep around 40-60 records
in the playlist, but I've had the whole lot -- around 6k tracks in the
list at once with no problem.

Still, I wish it were easier to set up and maintain playlists, and
switch between them more easily. What I'd really like is if there was
a priority queue. I'd like to have it play a default playlist in
random order, but let you browse the library and send things to the
front of the line in the order you pick them.

I like Grip, but there's plenty of other ways to back up your CDs.

[mythtv-users] Picture size on TV

[Brad]

HI Guys, 

My tvout picture has a border around the outside. I can zoom in and it
fills the screen but the actual recordings (when burnt to CD) are the
same. Someone here told me to take out irrelevant lines in my
XF86Config-4 file but not to sure. Could someone please have a look at
file below and give me a few pointers.

Strangely the mythtv menu screens are all the correct size on the TV .

Don't get me started on MythTV documentation ...!

That's why you needed to comment out the last line of the script. Some
STBs need a final select (or it will speed up channel changing on the
STB) and so use the appropriate button name for SELECT to do that.
Because your lircd.conf did not have the SELECT name defined it was
failing.

No problem

I tried every tuner on your list, using card=10.  None of them worked.
 I even checked dmesg after each change, to make sure that the bttv
driver re-loaded with the proper settings.  Any other ideas?

Ahh thanks Nick. The channel setup page could really do with some

OK, so card=10 I reckon. Now it's just finding the correct tuner
(check my list earlier).

The freqid is the value that it passed to the channel change script,

[mythtv-users] mythmusic issues

[Stephen Cole]

I've been using myth for a while and not had many problems with mythtv, 
mythvideo or mythdvd, but mythmusic has given me nothing but problems.  
It crashes about every other time I change the selected music.  I 
haven't seen many posts about mythmusic so maybe somebody out there is 
using and can give me some help.  Here's a list of problems, issues, 
requests, etc.
1) After selecting a bunch of songs, escaping back from the select music 
section and selecting "play music", mythfrontend crashes.  I can't find 
much in the log of any use.  This happens about every other time I 
select music.  I've got about 7000 songs in the database if that 
matters.  After the crash the two music tables are corrupted and need to 
be repaired.  If I try selecting again it usually works.  But then the 
next time I go in to select music and play it crashes.  Sometimes it 
crashes after playing a few songs, sometimes in the middle of a song and 
sometimes while changing songs.  The next song it tries to play will 
usually play the next time around, so it's not a corrupt file.
2) Going from the active play screen to the edit current playlist 
(option 3), works.  I can select some new stuff, unselect some current 
stuff.  But when i hit esc to go back to the play screen the current 
playlist is not changed from what I selected and sometimes the screen 
completely freezes and I have to kill the frontend to restart.  Which 
then leaves the tables corrupt and they have to be repaired.  It doesn't 
seem to matter if I change the selection in any specific way, the 
current playlist is never updated whether I add new songs or remove 
existing songs.  I suspect it might be related to the number of songs 
because as a test I wiped the database and pointed mytmusic to a 
different directory with only a few albums in it.  Things seemed to work 
better there and I could change the current playlist selection.
3) Often times when I escape out from playing music and am at the main 
music menu, I have no cursor.  Nothing is selected and I can't seem to 
get a cursor so have to restart the frontend.  I'm using blackbox and 
have checked and double-checked all the settings with what I've found 
posted here (FocusModel=SloppyFocus and focusNewWindows=true) am I 
missing something?
4) The editor for changing the cd information in the ripping utility 
works very poorly.  Tab and arrow keys are combined so that its not 
really possible to go through and change title and artist (for 
compilation cds).  I can't seem to select the title cell without erasing 
it, and I can't navigate to the artist cell without typing something 
into the title cell.  Then once i've done one row I can only go to the 
third column and can't get back or on to the next row, so I have to 
escape all the way out and come back in.
5) Compilation artist is a great feature but as I asked in an early post 
(and got no reply) it seems wrong to not display the actual artist name 
when the song is being played.  Can this be changed with a configuration 
option of some kind?
6) The edit tag info feature is nice, but why does it only work from the 
player screen?  Seems like it would be nice if it worked from the 
browse/select music screen.  Plus you could then edit an artist or album 
name and have it update all songs by that artist or all of the songs on 
an album.  It's also really annoying to have to arrow down to select 
"save to db and file", hit select, and arrow down again to hit yes I'm 
sure I want to save it to file.  Would it not be better to have some 
config option that said "keep db and files in sync, always save to db 
and files".

If you can take a look at the cards to identify its model number
(likely 190 or 191 for WinTV Go) and make of the tuner. If it's not
autodetecting it may be using the BT848 chip which can't be
autodetected. What's the output of lspci (as root)?

Therefore, it might be using the bttv driver instead (for 848/878
chips). For 848 cards, card=2, and for 878 cards, card=10 per the bttv
docs. For the tuner, possible NTSC tuners in the bttv driver are
2,6,8,17,21,27,31,36,39,42,43. You could try the 22 different combos
if you like.

Also, you may find more info here (the source docs contain all the
info on cards and tuners) - http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/drivers.html

If nothing works, try 'modprobe bttv' and 'modprobe cx88' and see if
any output is given. And if you still have the crashed machine's data,
you may be able to get to the modprobe info.

Could try mythtvosd. You can run this from a shell script that

lspci reports "Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture", so I've
been using the bttv driver.

Phill,

Are the recordings using 44kHz audio? If so I think you'll need to do
some ALSA configuring and use the plug plugin to resample the audio to
48kHz which the SPDIF wants.

There's Michael Dean's excellent article here which explains what's needed:

http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo

I've followed this article to understand it and have got my audio
working well now through my SPDIF playing all audio I throw at it. The
article gives you 4 possible output devices which is great - I use the
mixed-digital device with no problems.

HTH,

Nick,

I dont think thats the problem, This is the script I'm using, its 
straight from the guide I used. Before I commented out the last line, I 
would get an error that SELECT wasn't a valid code in the command line, 
and the myth backend log would say that the script exited with error 
code somethingorrather.


#!/bin/sh
STB_NAME=DCT2000
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
 irsend --device=/dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $STB_NAME $digit
 sleep 0.4
done
#irsend --device=/dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $STB_NAME SELECT


I just had a thought that my channel setup might be wrong. The channel 
setup window is very confusing with what goes where. I have the channel 
number I want to change to external STB to in the Channel Number field 
on the first page of channel setup. Should I also be putting it in the 
Frequency box on the second page?

Hopefully these bugs will be fixed in the big DVB update in progress
at the moment. Trying to tune to a non-broadcasting DVB channel will
also crash the frontend and require some editing to the DB I think
because the non-accessible channel is stored.

I'd recommend using something like phpMyAdmin to look at the database
and see if the channels are OK or if there are any obvious fields that
need to be corrected. Once the card has finished its scan and the
channels are setup correctly, you shouldn't have any issues with DVB.

For DVB (records stream directly to disk) and ivtv (PVR card encodes
video and audio) it'll be more than fine, as these cards work with
minimal CPU power. The only problem I can see is perhaps 1080i HDTV or
if you're doing excessive CPU-based tasks at the same time.

(Like Phill, I'm also running a 2.4 CelD with DVB and ivtv cards)

Yes very strange. Try and install with the custom graphical instead
and see if you get any further. This will look just like any Fedora

[mythtv-users] DVB: Heads up! PS format deprecated - TS now used by default

[Jesper Sörensen]

The DVB code in SVN will now switch everyone over to record in TS 
format, since that has proven to have far less problems than the old PS 
format.


If this change causes problems for anyone you need to file a bug report 
about it so we can get it fixed. As a workaround you can go back to PS 
format with the following DB query:

"update capturecard set dvb_recordts = 0;"

PS recording support will most likely be removed completely, but I agree 
with Daniel that it shouldn't happen until after 0.19 is out.

[mythtv-users] Problems when trying to tune in a non-existant channel

[Jonathan Fors]

Hello.

I have this problem with my PVR. If I am watching channel #1 with
mythtv, and I press CH- on the remote, mythtv goes crazy. The frontend
goes black with no ability to stop and crashes after a while, and the
backend needs to be restarted. When I check the logs I see that the
backend tries to tune in channel number ".", yes, that' channel number
"dot". The frontend reports "waited too long to be allowed to read" and
then dies after a while.

I had some problems with my initial tune-in of the program, and after
each change in the channels dialog in the myth setup, I need to re-set
the default channel to a valid channel number in the card setup, or else
the card would tune in channel number "dot".

This seems like two bugs; first the "default channel" setting in the
inital setup program is cleared after each change in the channel setup
screen, and also that mythtv tries to tune in channel # "dot" when
"default channel" is not set.

the change command first in a shell, then the last 20 lines are changing 
channel in myth, It's not calling lirc_serial at all

Here you go - pretty much as they were scanned.  I'd changed BBC3 to

Hello,

Aren't we all?! :)


 


I am also happy to see MythTV runs successfully on so many Linux
implementations. It is a bit hard to keep up with the methods used by each
implementation for upgrading.

 


Can someone please offer a means for comparing the different ways to upgrade
MythTV?

As far as I'm aware, there are only two ways to update to a newer 
release.  Install the binaries (via Apt, RPM, etc) or compile from source.

You only need the relevant section in your lircd.conf file. Also check your
lircd log for clues. 

Make sure irw is looking at the right device.. I believe the correct syntax
is irw /dev/lirc0. I don't think it looks there by default??

Good luck.

Re: [mythtv-users] New MythDora v1.4

[Pete Clarke]

Uh no, this is not a typical error. I've never had or seen this one 
before. How did

you install, Custom or Auto? Was this from HTTP or Bittorent?


Bittorrent download, MD5's check out
I did the automatic graphical install on the following hardware:

Nforce 2 chipset;
Nvidia FX5200 AGP card;
512MB Ram;
120GB HDD;
2 x PVR250 Cards;

I am trying again to see if a different installation method helps.
Strange thing, when the installer first starts, it assumes an NFS 
installation, timesout trying to contact 192.168.1.5 then allows a change of 
installation method to CDRom etc

After this, it complains about a missing package "interactive"...

Strange..


Cheers,



Pete.

Thank you, seems I missed one, I was being lazy and using updatedb &&
locate ati_remote, found 2 out of 3 kernel modules, just the current
kernel I was using was listed should have realized this,

after that and a reboot, I have come to another blocking point

when I start now, I have /dev/lirc0 which I assume now is meaning that
lirc has found my remote, but I have never setup lirc with a usb
reciever, for a serial reciever I know you can test it by catting the
serial port or lirc port and pressing buttons on your remote, when I
start lircd -d /dev/lirc0 --nodaemon &, then irw, I get no response,

my lircd.conf file contains the whole lircd.conf.atiusb file, which
seems to contain a code set for every version of ati remotes, do I
only need to select one from the file and erase the rest?

or is there something else I am missing my remote model is 523600

Ok, then I can stop wasting my time and searching for some configuration
mistake. Maybe I'll give the leading-edge SVN version a try, since this
feature looks quite important to me.

Nope, that is an error with the lirc IR remote software. It tries to

[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase gives a weird error

[Jonathan Fors]

Hello all.

I've just set up my first PVR system, and I am generally very impressed
by everything. There is one thing that is not working, and that are the
program listings. 
I am living in Sweden, and I use the swedb xmltv grabber, and I run the
latest and greatest versions of both it and myth. 
Now, when I run mythfilldatabase the listings are getting downloaded,
but when mythtv processes the information I get from the grabber, I
encounter this strange error:

$ mythfilldatabase
2005-08-17 22:54:37.331 New DB connection, total: 1
2005-08-17 22:54:37.775 New DB connection, total: 2
Refreshing Tomorrow's data
- Start of XMLTV output -
2005-08-17 22:54:37.822 New DB connection, total: 3
downloading listings: 100%
[]--
 End of XMLTV output --
Error in 122:47: letter is expected
Updating icons for sourceid: 1
2005-08-17 22:55:15.978 New DB connection, total: 4
Updated programs: 0  Unchanged programs: 0
Fetching data for ons aug 17 2005
- Start of XMLTV output -

Note the line "Error in 122:47: letter is expected".

It doesn't show anything else than that and fails silently, happily
continuing on the next day's listings. I get a raw XML dump if I run the
grabber manually, so I am sure that the error is in mythfilldatabase. 

Is there anybody here who could give me a clue about this? 

Regards,
Jonathan

[mythtv-users] Recommendations on project with ticker

[Lex Lethol]

Lo everyone,

I am looking for any viable solution to display a video feed (.avi
file on hard drive) with a side or bottom ticker that shows
weather/news info always. I currently run myth at home and have read
some addons for ticker display during video playback (caller id
plugin).

I'd like to know from more experienced mythtv users if this is a good
option or if its a bit of overkill.  Other options would be running
the video feed with xine with a fixed size frame and worry about the
ticker running on desktop (maybe web-based feed or flash).

Any insight, links/reading material on the subject are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

SVN is a replacement for CVS.

OK, Thanks Martin. I might have a bit of a look round to teach myself
a bit more about how the patch works, but I'll wait until its all a
bit more stable.

Good to know its possible anyway, and I'm looking forward to it being
in a full release version!

Sorry -- it's been a little while since I've read much on the mythtv

so I'm curious:

What is SVN?

Re: [mythtv-users] Cables and more space...ideas?

Keep in mind that compressing the whole DVD isn't the best choice as 
sometimes you get 50% compression.  I did that with O Brother, Where 
Art Thou? and it looks pretty bad.  You can see the pixelation on 
screen and it gets annoying.  That would be one of those movies I 
would make into an uncompressed ISO and drop on my backend.  Good 
luck!


yeah, i'll prob strip all but one audio track and any extras to make as 
much space as possible ... if it's a movie where i really like the 
extras and want them in Myth, they can always be ripped separately :)

Xine does support DTS passthrough because I have done it before with
the Predator Special Edition.  I saved the ISO file and it was
over 4.7 GBs without compression.  I just hate to compress. 
When I started watching in XINE, I right click and bring up the menu
and choose a different audio track and it worked.  Keep in mind

Sorry to put a damper on it, but if you've no experience with patches and
hacking C++ I'd recommend you hold off on this for now. I did have to make
changes to the patch (as I said in my email). I can't remember what they
were, but I'm sure they were small.

I brought the patch up again (which I didn't write) because George Styles
and others seemed to be into hacking the code to make it work. I figured
they'd be able to tweak the patch and save a load of time. To be honest,
this stuff doesn't really belong on the users list. :;

Assuming Isaac is happy with what I do and accepts it, I'm hoping to get
the DVB radio stuff all in the next release.

Cheers,

Martin.

The DVB code being in such flux is the very reason I'm not working against
SVN! All development is done on the only myth system in the house, which
is also the only way of watching tv in the house (not even an old analogue
aerial available). Hence it has to work or I'll be in serious trouble from
my better half.

As soon as SVN looks stable again I'll upgrade & fix my changes up.
Obviously I can't submit a patch until that is the case, but I'm planning
to put the 18.1 version out as soon as I'm happy with it, for people to
try out.

Cheers,

Martin.

That's the way it works.  This behaviour changes in
SVN and is much more user friendly.  In SVN you choose
the channel in the EPG and myth automagically changes
inputs.

All the same, some info has been added on the home page of the site so
that people can quickly understand what is being offered.  More
information is usually not a bad thing... right?

I'd also like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the
torrent for v1.4 is up and running, so now you can d/l via HTTP or BT.
 Users choice.

I'll also ask that if you go the BT route, pretty please with a cherry
on top, can you leave your client open.

As always, feedback (both positive and negative) are welcomed.  Please

[mythtv-users] Multiple tuners, multiple video sources, How to change channels in LiveTV?

[Thomas Aeby]

Hello,

in my box, there are currently two tuners connected to different
sources, therefore not providing the same channels. Now, if I'm
watching LiveTV I have to manually change tuners via "Y" in order
to watch channels on the other tuner card.

Is this intended behaviour? I'd expect to just choose the channel
number and MythTV selects a matching tuner card. I intend to add
a few more tuners - will I have to explain my mother she should just
press the "change tuner" button, then try if she gets the channel she
wants, if not, change tuner again, ... no, this cannot be intended, can
it?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

I thought that that would work, but I wasn't 100% positive it was okay
to just change vob/mpg so I didn't mention.  I use that method,
without specifying tracks, to avoid certain DVD copying *ahem* problems
*ahem*.

Cool. Post it.

It is somewhat complicated, because I am listing off all the categories
I want to see.  I am going to play a bit more with it, and see if
I can simplify it without getting shows I will never be interested in.
 Ever since gigem invented kPowerSearch, it's apparent that there
will be lots of cool things we could do.

Thanks gigem!

A note on how I actually use this rule. You could set it to recordthen choose "Don't record" for the things that aren't interesting.
However, what I do is to go into "Recording Options" and set it toinactive. This way these premiers show up on my Upcoming Recordingslist in white with an "x" for Inactive. I can then choose "Record
anyway" for some things but I'll always see when all of these newseries are starting.

Cool idea.

One of my goals is to catch these programs, even when I am out of
town.  It is a balancing act to record new shows that I am
interested in, without recording a lot of garbage.

Exactly. Wait until the show is almost due then press "O" to see thetitle proglist and set a rule on one of the other showings. If you setan "All" rule, your "Series Premier" rule will still take precedence
for the first showing (because it is also "All" but has a lowerrecordid). However, if you set a more specific type like Channel orTimeslot, your new rule will take precedence for that first showing
so your priority, Recording Profile, etc. will apply to the premier.

Okay, thanks.  I was just hoping there was something I was missing...

So is MythDora like KnoppMyth, but with Fedora instead of Debian?  If
so, since it has ivtv .3.6w is it more likely to work with my PVR-500

Re: [mythtv-users] running just mythcommflag on another linux host?

[Tim Hamer]

sure, you just have to make sure "allow commercial detection jobs" is 
unchecked in the setup of your master backend and checked on the slave 
backend. also make sure "allow flagging only on recording host" is 
unchecked.


unfortunately, this doesnt seem to work for transcoding. recordings are 
flagged on my 2.4GHz P4 frontend and then transcoded on my 866MHz P3 
backend. anyone know how to change that?

Hello,

I'm working with very limited processor constraints. I've got
a 733mhz P3 with a PVR-350 card as my frontend/backend.
This is fine for TV recording and playback as it's 100% hardware
accelerated, but it breaks down when I want to play DVDs, even
with the new 0.3.7d ivtv drivers with XV support. So I need to
offload as much CPU as possible.

This MythTV box mounts all it's storage directories over
100BaseTX NFS. The machine hosting my disk array and NFS
is a dual CPU 600mhz P3, and it's CPUs are idle 99% of the
time.

I'm going to migrate the MySQL database to my NFS server
tonight, but I doubt that will give me any useful performance benefits.
I'm mainly doing it to make sure my Myth DB is on the RAID-1
array for reliability reasons.

What I'd like to do is run mythcommflag on the NFS server. I've
notice mythcommflag chew up as much as 40% CPU, so this would
be a big win.

Is it possible to setup a slave backend on the NFS server that
doesn't have a tuner and only runs mythcommflag jobs and periodic
jobs like mythfilldatabase?

Thanks!

Great - I've been waiting for someone to do this for ages!

The problem is, how do I apply the patch?
I've never applied any patches before, but I guessed and ungz'd it and
then did patch radiorecord-v2.patch. It gave warnings to say I should
use -p, but I told it which files to modify when it asked for them.

Is this right?

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/mythtv-0.18.1.radio/libs/libmythtv'
g++ -c -pipe -march=pentium4 -Wall -W -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch

In file included from siparser.cpp:10:
atsc_huffman.h:376: warning: missing braces around initializer
atsc_huffman.h:376: warning: missing braces around initializer

The warning repeats about 100 times, and then it appears to compile
OK. But then when I do a channel scan in mythtv-setup, it searches
through all the transport streams but doesn't find any channels (not
even TV channels).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonny

[mythtv-users] Tuner for WinTV-Go Card?

[Scott Minneman]

Hey all, I'm (re)building my combined backend/frontend, which uses two
WinTV-Go cards.  I cannot for the life of me get the tuners to
function properly.  They do not autodetect (in FC3), so I have to use
modprobe.conf to set the card and tuner options.

On the tuners themselves is printed NTSC 44981 Rev E199.  In dmesg,
tveeprom reports "tuner=".  Google searches have turned up
nothing useful, and the ftvco script (find_tvcardoptions.sh) also
failed to discover a working configuration.

The most frustrating thing about it is that these same tuners have
worked for me before, until the system crashed.  Unfortunately, I was
backup-less (will never make that mistake again), so I can't go back
and look at the settings that worked then.

Is anyone using this card, or have any suggestions for how to figure
out the proper settings?

TIA,
-Scott
