[mythtv-users] Live TV
Hi All, I must first of all thank all of those who have helped me get my myth system off the ground. My current dillema is probably simple to resolve but i am unable to work out how to do it. Hardware: p4 2.8Ghz processor, 512 DDR ram, Asus P5p800 mainboard, Dvico DVB-T lite card, 250GB SATA HDD,Gigabyte GVN4464TE(NVIDIA MX 440 8x) video card, fedora core 2.6.11-1.35. The above setup works a treat - i can get all other functions apart from the live TV and recording og live TV. Currrent headache is as follows: When trying to watch live TV i get the following message: SIP Cannot Register; proxy, username or password not set With my limited knowledge and help from members in the forum i have managed to give mythtv permissions to everything that i see as relevant yet i am unable to view live TV. Any help would be great. Regards and TIA Justin ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Key difference(s) between mythfilldatabase and mythfilldatabase --update?
I'm just wondering what the difference is between running these two commands when using an XML source file for data (i.e. what data is lost/preserved when run with and without the --update option). I read in the mythfilldatabase help that --update runs non-destructive updates on the DB, but how non-destructive is it? I.e. will it take into account changes to program details already in the DB and update those. What data would be lost without using the --update option. Thanks for anyone that can clarify this. Before I try and put my C cap on to get a definitive answer myself, I'm hoping someone can explain it concisely. My impression from running with and without --update is that the programinformation is completely replaced for the days present in the XML file in both cases. The only difference I have noticed so far is that running without --update might add channels to your setup. I have a system with two tunercards - one analog and one for DVB-S. I have to run mythfilldatabase twice - with --file 1... and with --file 2... If I do that without --update, then all the DVB channels will be added also as analog channels and the analog channels will be added as DVB channels.

Hi! I run mythtv under fedora core 3 and it works very good except for when I put an audio cd into the cdrom.

AW: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
I've had the same problem a while ago. My solution was unmerging the myth-ebuilds, manually removing every file with *myth* in it's name from the harddisk (certainly not the files in /usr/portage ... ), then did a revdep-rebuild to be sure the system is ok and afterwards remerged the myth ebuilds. I guess my problem was a left over from a previous install from source code.

[mythtv-users] Slightly OT - Controlling the CPU fan
Howdy, Even though my Myth backend does not sit in the lounge, it does sit in the study and the fan noise is driving the family nuts to point they want the backend shutdown when they are in there. I have done heaps of searching around and can't seem to find any solid info but I would like to be able to throttle back the fan on the CPU when the backend is idling as it seems to most of the time. I have lm_sensors running and I know the speed of the fan, but I can't find any way to control it. It is a Sempron 2400 sitting on a crappy generic mobo. Also, I am sure I could afford to turn the fan down as the highest temperature the CPU has gotten to so far is 50 degree celcius (although it is winter-ish here in QLD, Australia atm). Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions other than sticking the box in the garage?

[mythtv-users] Backend hanging on setup
I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I'm trying to setup a new master backend and everytime I run mythtv-setup, it hangs at some point during the first initial screens. Most of the time, it hangs on the first screen asking me if I want to clear the capture card info. By hang, I mean the whole system seems to go unresponsive - no SSH, no keyboard, nothing. Only a hard reset will bring it back. It doesn't always seem to happen at the same spot, sometimes I won't get any text on the buttons, sometimes I do but can't select anything. Sometimes I can select something and move to the next screen but it will lock up then. I can never get to the main menu of setup. This system is destined to be a Master backend only - no frontend. My specs: Gentoo - 2.6.12-r6 MythTV - CVS (from current over the past week) QT - 3.3.4-r3 Ivtv - 0.3.7f with PVR150MCE No sound card ./configure'd with no options Ran qmake mythtv.pro I'm not sure what else is relevant at this point and I've been trying to search the mail archives for anything I can think of regarding this. I've seen issues where qt-3.3.4 may not be compatable? But I can't seem to get gentoo to want to emerge anything but the latest version. I haven't tried downloading 3.3.3 yet but will probably try that soon unless someone has some other clues? Please?

Re: [mythtv-users] Using MythMusic
I find the best way to handle music sorting is to do it yourself -- i.e. ignoring ID3 tags and setting the sorting method to directory. This does mean that you have to set up your directory structure the way you want it and put the files in manually, but in the end it's much easier to keep track of what songs are where. The easiest way is to build your dir tree as ~/music/genre/artist/album/01_track.ogg. With the directory sorting option enabled, browsing the music directory from inside Mythmusic gives you the ability to select whole genres, or any number of artists, ablums, and/or individual tracks. As far as the remote goes, I use the grey Hauppage remote. By default, (at least following Jarod's guide) the blue button skips forward a song, the yellow button skips back a song. I don't know about FF/REW, but I don't use them anyway. To make navigating easier (I've got a LOT of songs on my box) I remapped the yellow button to PgDn, and the red button (usually Exit) to PgUp. The lirc config file is in /home/mythuser/.mythtv/. I can send you more details if you need them, but I'm nowhere near the box right now.

Re: [mythtv-users] Live TV
SIP is the Session Initiation Protocol used for VoIP by Mythphone. If you don't have Mythphone configured, you'll get this message. Ignore it, it doesn't matter. I don't know what the problem with TV viewing is, but SIP most definitely has nothing to do with it. Start by double checking everything -- is the card capture card installed properly? Can you get a test recoding from the command line -- even a recording of snow will be helpful in this case. Is the card properly set up on the backend? Is the right input set -- on a PVR 250, for example, possible inputs are (IIRC) Composite 0-3, S-video 0-3, and Tuner 0. You may also need to tweak modules.conf. IIRC, a PVR is tuner type = 39, for example. I have no idea what specific settings need to be made for a DVB card, but there has been plenty of conversation here on the topic. It's hard to give you an easy solution without knowing more specifics, but hopefully this will give you a starting point. Search this list for specifics on your card and for info about modules.conf.

[mythtv-users] Feature Request: Max number of recordings of a show per day
It would be nice if in addition to a maximum number of episodes to be stored there were a way to set the maximum number of episodes of a show to be recorded in a day. The reason I suggest that is that on a normal day Law and Order is only on about twice but if they have a marathon and show a bunch more episodes the normal retention policy causes all but the last 2 not to be kept, but all the episodes get recorded unless something with higher priority is on inbetween. The result is that things that normally would get recorded don't and from the end user's point of view only 2 episodes of Law and Order got recorded. I realize this can all be fixed by knowing ahead of time and tweaking the settings in MythWeb or in mythfrontend but it would be nice not to have to. ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] High Quality SDTV output
I'm getting ready to build a MythTV box and my big issue right now is how to get high quality SDTV output from the machine. I do not consider the s-video output port found on most video cards to be anything close to high quality. I am not aware of a video card that will output a true 480i signal, all of the ones I'm aware of force the image through scalers which destroy the quality. I want to be able to take interlaced video in, keep it interlaced while it's encoded, and then output it as interlaced video. I am also aware of the Hauppauge PVR-350, but this card seems to have a number of compromises with regards to non-MPEG2 output. I do want to use the MythTV box for AVIs, MP3s and console games (SNES, etc.). I am vaguely aware of Cory Papenfuss's VGA to NTSC transcoder but my soldering skills are pretty poor and I can't seem to find the schematics anymore. I've also seen on this list that some newer nVidia cards can do component output but I haven't seen anything that confirms that they can do a 480i signal. Also, these cards seem to have some issues with Xv video acceleration. With that said, I hope some people on this list know of some cards or tricks that I am not aware of, or areas where I am just plain wrong.

The NVidia driver I'm using on an MX-440 currently will *output* interlaced, but internally throw away one field. The ATI drivers (open-source) still have the weird bug and I haven't bothered on the gatos driver since I'm now running xorg. Bottom line is that what used to be very common (supported interlaced modes out of VGA cards) is not common anymore. If you wanted to build something like I did, there are (or at least were) a number of different schematics/designs out there. Mine is still broken and would take some effort to clean up. If you don't want to DIY, I'd see if any of the commercial transcoders can do 480i. FWIW, I briefly corresponded with a guy at nvidia who says that the drivers are supposed to disable the scaler when a dvd-friendly size is used (e.g. 720x480).

I've also noticed that sometimes the audio on the 2nd input (which in my case is the 1st tuner on the PVR-500) doesn't work. Again, power down, wait a minute or more, and it will work (repeat if it doesn't but it has everytime for me). In any case, this gets my PVR-500 and PVR-150 to work (via tuners only, I haven't tried the s-video or composite inputs). Hope this helps!

There are also adapters so you can dial down the fan voltages with a little pot. Yes, Zalman and others do these, it's the right way to do it, they use 'proper' pwm, so the fan gets the full 12V, but for a variable amount of time... you can dial-in the right mix of 'loudness' vs 'throughput'... ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Since version 0.3.x is primarily concerned with getting PVR-150 and PVR-500 support added to ivtv, it assumes the card is a PVR-150. Since IvyTV made the assumption that a card was a PVR-250 unless it was recognized before the PVR-150 and PVR-500 were released, pretty much the only people who reported card details as described were PVR-350 users (at least until the cardtype option was added, at which point, people stopped reporting the details). Therefore, most older PVR-350's and some newer PVR-350's are recognized, but a great number of PVR-250's are not (because for some reason people didn't read their log messages, so they didn't realize they should report them ;). It's quite likely that IvyTV will make the assumption in the future that a card is a PVR-150 unless recognized (since most new cards will be PVR-150's), so it would definitely be good to report yours as unrecognized... a while back someone mentioned setting card options in the modprobe.conf file, but didn't detail the edits needed. While this would work, it doesn't help all those other people who have cards like you, so getting the driver fixed is probably the better approach... Other approaches: - Use ivtv 0.2.x (if you have a PVR-150 or PVR-500 in addition to the PVR-250, this approach may not work). - Edit ivtv-cards.c to include the PCI ID of your card - Specify the cardtype option to your ivtv module (i.e. add a line options ivtv cardtype=x where x is the appropriate value for the cardtype option as listed by modinfo ivtv) However, if you don't post your card's info, think of all the people whose cards have the same PCI ID as yours who will be asking how to make their PVR-250 that's recognized as a PVR-150 work... So, to help answer some of those questions, if you decide not to provide the requested info to the IvyTV ML, I expect you to answer at least 20 e-mail requests for this information.

Yeah, that's cool. But does MythTV really support this sort of thing? The input extender card and tuner0 (coax) are basically the same thing to MythTV: a different input. The only difference is the quality and the input name. How do I schedule a manual recording on an input that doesn't have a channel lineup associated with it? The MythTV - Manage Recordings - Schedule Recordings - Manual Schedule doesn't seem to have any concept of Inputs. It only cares about channels. So how do I make it record on an input that doesn't have any channels? Also, I've mapped the yellow button on my Hauppauge remote to the 'C' key so I can cycle through inputs while watching LiveTV. But since my tuner0 doesn't have a lineup associated with it, I can't change inputs to it. Pushing the yellow button just freezes the screen and shows me the same Input over and over. Is there a way to fix this? If so, then that addon board would be perfect.

Re: [mythtv-users] Feature Request: Max number of recordings of a show per day
On 8/21/05, Bryan Halter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It would be nice if in addition to a maximum number of episodes to be stored there were a way to set the maximum number of episodes of a show to be recorded in a day. The reason I suggest that is that on a normal day Law and Order is only on about twice but if they have a marathon and show a bunch more episodes the normal retention policy causes all but the last 2 not to be kept, but all the episodes get recorded unless something with higher priority is on inbetween. The result is that things that normally would get recorded don't and from the end user's point of view only 2 episodes of Law and Order got recorded. I realize this can all be fixed by knowing ahead of time and tweaking the settings in MythWeb or in mythfrontend but it would be nice not to have to. What about setting it to record the show at all times on the channel, using no dupe policy, no auto-expire, and setting it to store 0 recordings. I am under the impression (perhaps misguided ...) that this should record every episode and not delete any.

[mythtv-users] How do I get decent quality SVideo output? (Using PVR-150 and Geforce4 MX)
I've been having alot of trouble getting decent picture quality output from my mythtv box to my TV. I'm using KnoppMyth. I have a PVR-150 non-mce, and Geforce 4MX 420 I have the S-Video out of my Dish Network box connected to the S-Video in on my PVR-150. Then an S-Video out from the Geforce goes to the TV. (the picture looks fine with going straight from the Dish Network box to the TV. The picture looks fantastic when I play a DVD in my Mythtv box). I'm using IVTV version 0.3.7h, and NVidia driver version 7174. I'm using the XF86Config-4.nvidia-tvout.sample. I have all my capture and transcoding resolutions set to 720x480. Recording bitrate is set at 6600 with 8800 max I have the Bob de-interlacing set. The picture on the TV looks like i'm watching a overly compressed video on my computer. there is blockiness and streaking. I've tried the denoise3d filter and the result was no better. are there settings that I should be using or different drivers that will improve my quality? I'll gladly provide any other required information. Thanks for any help! ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Unfortunantly, I had to reboot and now myth doesn't function. dmsg reports the card as a 150 not a 250. IvyTV versions 0.1.x and 0.2.x will assume a card is a PVR-250 is the card isn't recognized. Since version 0.3.x is primarily concerned with getting PVR-150 and PVR-500 support added to ivtv, it assumes the card is a PVR-150. Since IvyTV made the assumption that a card was a PVR-250 unless it was recognized before the PVR-150 and PVR-500 were released, pretty much the only people who reported card details as described were PVR-350 users (at least until the cardtype option was added, at which point, people stopped reporting the details). Therefore, most older PVR-350's and some newer PVR-350's are recognized, but a great number of PVR-250's are not (because for some reason people didn't read their log messages, so they didn't realize they should report them ;). It's quite likely that IvyTV will make the assumption in the future that a card is a PVR-150 unless recognized (since most new cards will be PVR-150's), so it would definitely be good to report yours as unrecognized... a while back someone mentioned setting card options in the modprobe.conf file, but didn't detail the edits needed. While this would work, it doesn't help all those other people who have cards like you, so getting the driver fixed is probably the better approach... Other approaches: - Use ivtv 0.2.x (if you have a PVR-150 or PVR-500 in addition to the PVR-250, this approach may not work). - Edit ivtv-cards.c to include the PCI ID of your card - Specify the cardtype option to your ivtv module (i.e. add a line options ivtv cardtype=x where x is the appropriate value for the cardtype option as listed by modinfo ivtv) However, if you don't post your card's info, think of all the people whose cards have the same PCI ID as yours who will be asking how to make their PVR-250 that's recognized as a PVR-150 work... So, to help answer some of those questions, if you decide not to provide the requested info to the IvyTV ML, I expect you to answer at least 20 e-mail requests for this information. So, posting the card info once is probably easier than providing this information 20 times. ;) Thanks, Mike ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users -- No virus found in this incoming message.

[mythtv-users] zap2it connection timing out
I'm trying to do a mythfilldatabase and the datastream starts and a 5 to 15 seconds later the transfer stops with no further progress. Eventually it errors with a connection timeout and restarts. This has been going on for a few days so I was wondering if I forgot a network setting or are others having similar problems getting updated listings? tia ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Playing MPEG2 (.ts) Transport Streams?

The files are huge, like 18GB each, but I have enough storage to save them centrally and simply stream and play them using VLC with Mac's connected to each TV. I'm pulling .ts streams from the server over GigE which works great, but using a MythTV front end would be more 'wife and kid' vs. geek friendly... anyone done this? Sure - just use mythvideo and use vlc as the player within it. -I ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Feature Request: Max number of recordings of a show per day
Right I know how to record every episode, what I'd like to do is record at most some number of episodes per day while being able to record off multiple channels (any channel any time) and using dupe checking along with auto expire. Example Law and Order is shown 4 times per day as some special event. If I only keep 2 episodes, the current result is that 4 episodes would be recorded and 2 would be dumped before I got a chance to watch them. Now if there were something on that was lower priority but not necessarily of less interest during the first 2 episodes that would not get recorded because the 2 episodes of law and order I will never watch would have been. What I would like is some way to set the scheduler so that it will only record 2 episodes, I don't really care which 2 but I would propose that it record episodes w/o conflict or where the priority difference is the biggest. Nick wrote: On 8/21/05, Bryan Halter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It would be nice if in addition to a maximum number of episodes to be stored there were a way to set the maximum number of episodes of a show to be recorded in a day. The reason I suggest that is that on a normal day Law and Order is only on about twice but if they have a marathon and show a bunch more episodes the normal retention policy causes all but the last 2 not to be kept, but all the episodes get recorded unless something with higher priority is on inbetween. The result is that things that normally would get recorded don't and from the end user's point of view only 2 episodes of Law and Order got recorded. I realize this can all be fixed by knowing ahead of time and tweaking the settings in MythWeb or in mythfrontend but it would be nice not to have to. What about setting it to record the show at all times on the channel, using no dupe policy, no auto-expire, and setting it to store 0 recordings. I am under the impression (perhaps misguided ...) that this should record every episode and not delete any.
