[mythtv-users] lirc_serial - All working fine accept IR LED.

[Deon Bredenhann]

Hi guru's.

Don't know where else to try. The lirc list looks a little quite.

I'm enjoying my myth box so far, but just this one piece of the puzzle
is driving me insane. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

My setup

External IR LED on a db9 female connector
http://www.irtrans.de/en/shop/cable.php

If I reverse the pins on the serial connector I get a light, so this
means that there is power.

I have a Hauppauge PVR-350. And the remote is working perfectly. So
according to my understanding, I should be able to use the config to try
and send via the serial IR.

The problem I have is, when I try to send nothing happens on the IR LED.
Everything else seems to work perfectly. No errors at all. I have no
idea how to shoot this trouble any further. Is there anyone here with
any ideas of what I can try next.

Thanx a mil.

Here is some configs,

# dmesg

Wierd. Any PAL DVD Player is required to support mpeg2 audio and it may
optionally support ac3, but doesn't have to. Givedn this standard, you'd
expect a player to actually play mpega audio without any fiddling
around. But OK, that's what happens when reality meets standards.

So, a better solution would be: 
1) let users specify their preferred audio format (mp2 or ac3)
and
2) allow transcoding if the preferred audio format isn't
available in a recording.

That's the first thing I had tried - didn't work. Only difference: the
demuxed audio files are saved as *.mpa by projectx; looks like ffmpeg
doesn't recognice the mp2 audio file with an .mpa extension but works
just fine with the same file renamed to .mp2. Aaaahhh!!!

Thanks very much for the hint.

I have PAL and I always convert audio to AC3, because my Toshiba DVD

You don't need mpg123 or madplay for conversion of MPEG audio to AC3. 
This is how I convert with ffmpeg alone:

ffmpeg -y -i "$1.mp2" -acodec ac3 -ab 224 "$1.ac3"

That was my first impression as well when skimming over the source, but 
apparently (at least to my feeble eyes) not the case.  If I set the 
sample rate to 32000 it records at 48000 because it can't or won't 
change the sample rate with ivtvctl and there's a time discrepancy (I 
can only say for sure this happens when watching while recording but it 
definately doesn't happen after commercial flagging).  If I set the 
sample rate to 48000 it records at 48000 and everything is fine.  So I'd 
have to assume it's getting 32000 from the db because all the mpg 
headers say 48000 regardless of what I set.  It's the only thing I 
change and it only changes in the db.  I can't say for sure where this 
is happening cause I haven't found it yet but when and if I do I'll post it.

i'm getting family guy on tbs but there is no listing for it anywhere.

According to the mysqldump man page your command is formed incorrectly.
The options should all precede the database name and you can't specify a
password using the -p option.  Try:

mysqldump -c -u mythtv --password=mythtv mythconverg > mythtv_backup.sql
or
mysqldump -c -u mythtv -p mythconverg > mythtv_backup.sql

In the second case mysqldump will prompt you for the password (which is
also more secure since it doesn't show in a ps listing).

Well, that's certainly true. But that does mean (I presume) that I have to

The DVI won't do any good for capturing. The S-Vid will give you
anything that your tuner box can decode, but in SD analog, albeit high
quality SD. Hauppage cards can capture S-Vid, although I've only used
the 250 with coax. If you're able to get a tuner box with firewire
(supposedly the cable cos have to give you one if you ask, but who
knows how this is enforced) you'll be able to capture whatever HD
streams the box lets through directly from firewire without an
encoder. You won't, however, be able to change what is let through.

I suspect that only HD streams that are OTA are available, cable HD
streams probably not. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

It's worth using analog capture because you get everything you'd
normally get, plus it uses a lot less space. I'd work on getting as
good an SD picture as possible before building up to HD. Those new
digital tuner boxes put out quite a clean signal.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythtranscode and nuvexport (memory usage and swapping)

[Chris Petersen]

If you're hitting swap, then one of the nuvexport
calls is broken and 
the fifo is getting disconnected (audio or video),
which causes 
mythtranscode to continue to write to the fifo

(which is cached in RAM).



http://www.pvrguide.no-ip.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=26826


Yes, you posted that before.  Has nothing to do with nuvexport --debug 
or providing more info as to WHY the fifo is getting broken.


also, linking to a "how to compile program X" is a lot less helpful than 
linking to the program itself:


http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CrudeMPEG2cutForDVB


commercial_cut which I am pretty sure is not a GOP
cut.


If it doesn't cut on GOP, and doesn't reencode frames it cuts BETWEEN 
the GOP, then it's useless and will result in all kinds of sync issues 
because it won't necessarily be cutting on an I frame.  (if you don't 
get them, you're lucky)



Sorry all my mistake about the container comment.


No biggie.  I'm more upset at the devs for introducing this problem, 
since it's one of the single biggest issues of confusion for new users.

A NUV file can be many things some cards (the Hauppauge PVR-series as
well as any kind of DVB card) produce NUV-files that already are in
MPEG2 format but not quite ready to burn onto a DVD. Mythburn changes
these files (without reencoding them) to make them DVD-compliant.

What kind of card do you have?

If you've got a DVB-card or any of the Hauppauge PVR-cards, mythburn
is by far the simplest solution. You've got to install a few tools
before the script will work, but you'd have to install those if you
were doing it all from the commandline, as well - adding mythburn is
just a matter of extracting one more archive and running a setup shell
script - after that you have a nice web frontend that's easier to use

If your card doesn't produce MPEG2-files, I'm not sure whether there's
a a solution out there, since I don't have such a card.

Another mail today mentioned that a future version of mythtranscode
will handle MPEG2-re-packaging, so one of these days there'll probably
be a "Burn DVD" option in the frontend at least for the cards outlined
above. I don't think anything like that's in SVN or planned for thext
relase, though.

Besides, with its integration into mythweb, mythburn is
"almost-native" :-) Give it a try if your card is supported. I did and
- as you can probably tell - I was impressed.

Why is there a problem?  The sampling rate is always read from the file, not 
the database, on playback.

I am familliar with mythburn but was not sure what stage its at yet.
Also, I am presuming it burns straight to DVD?

(or does it convert NUV -> MPG and then burn to DVD?)

At any rate, no one else has any guides/scripts/websites suggestions

Does anyone know if this will eventually be a natively option directly

I didn't succeed with this, too, grub simply didn't save the new default.

But I found a way that works:

in my menu.lst I have

default 1

so my linux kernel is the default boot option. In my mythshutdown script
I have

echo "savedefault --default=0 --once" | grub --batch

This sets the PowerOff (0) item only for the next boot. Any following
booting will again have the default from menu.lst. It works for me.

I have attached my (kinda) working xorg.conf on a SuSE 9.3 with a PVR350 Tv Out.
By (kinda) I mean it works fine for mythfrontend, but I cant get Myth to stream
mpeg to my PVR350, it tries to play it via ivtvdev fb-device which goes badly
(1Ghz Via EPIA, not fast enough). I cannot see how the xorg config can affect
this problem, so that should be ok.

Re: [mythtv-users] frustrating comments about sample rates (what not to do)

[Larry Symms]

I know the difference, the problem is, the user who doesn't go digging 
through code would have no indication that changing the sample rate for 
recording profiles of an mpeg device would have negative effects, which 
aren't immediately obvious.  Why would I change the rate you ask?  The 
default alsamixer settings for my audio card (which uses the Via Envy24 
chipset) sets "multi track rate locking" to on, so I set the alsamixer 
multi track sample rate to 44.1kHz so that it would work with TV and 
music.  I changed the recording profile rates to 44.1kHz and didn't 
realize there was a problem for a few weeks because this only happens 
when watching recordings as they're recording or buffered live TV which 
I do very rarely.

This leads to skipping back when trying to skip forward because myth is
miscalculating the current position based on time elapsed.  The problem
is that the comments in Recording Profiles in TV Settings in Myth
frontend say: "Sets the audio sampling rate for your DSP.  Ensure that
you choose a sampling rate appropriate for your device.  btaudio may
only allow 32000."  This implys that not only is it ok to change the
sampling rate from the default but that it is recomended.  This is not
the case.  Do not be deceived, 48000 is the only acceptable setting for
mpeg encoders unless you never watch recordings while they're
recording.  When playing recordings while they are recording the sample
rate is gathered from the codec settings in the db rather than the mpeg
header.  If any of this is incorrect by all means correct me but I'm 99%
sure this is the case based on the code I've gone through and the tests
I've conducted.
   




The big thing you appear to be missing is the btaudio and mpegrecorder
have nothing to do with each other.  If you have a card which uses
btaudio you're going to be using nupplevideoencoder.

Been playing with that just today

nvram-wakeup adds in its own fudge factor (defined in the code) - it
defaults to being 5 minutes (or 300 seconds).

On a similar subject, I can't get grub to boot the system up again on
wakeup - instead it runs the power down grub entry which I need to
reboot to to make the thing powerdown with NVRAM wakeup.  This is on a
FC3 x86_64 system (grub updated to FC4 current to see if there were any
fixes in that).  Basically the power down entry looks like this

   title Power Down
savedefault --default=2
halt

but on power up it sticks on the 0 entry (the power down).

The initial stanza has
default saved

all the other kernels have a savedefault, and the shutdown script uses a
"savedefault --default=0 --once" which appears to work find to make it
select the power down kernel.  Maybe it doesn't get a chance to write
before it dies

[mythtv-users] Wakeup Timer

[Michael Vistein]

Hi,

I sucessfully set up my MythTV box with nvram-wakeup. There's only one
thing I don't understand. I have configured, that recoding should start
300s earlier and that the system needs 120s to boot up. But on shutdown,
the timer is set 12 minutes before the start of the recording (300s for
start earlier, 120s for booting and another 300s for what?) Is there
another setting that affects this time? The system is not recording
during these 300s, I checked that already. It's not a problem, but I
want to understand, and I think this behavior has not been there from
the beginning on.

Thanks,

Unfortunately: yes, you should assume that. The script not only won't
transcode them properly, it won't transcode them at all :-)

The scripts assume that the original files are mpeg2 in a DVD comaptible
resolution (720x576 for pal and 720x480 for ntsc; 704x576 and 704x480 are
also mentioned in the standard and should work, as should a few low-res
settings).

Transcoding differet formats is on the radar for the scripts, but not right
away.

Next thing I'll add is recoding mpeg2 audio to ac3 for ntsc DVDs - on pal,
mpeg2 is a required format for all players so no problems there. On NTSC ac3
is required and mpeg2 optional; just another way to introduce artifical
regional incompatibilities in the DVD standard. Works nicely on my system,
just need to bundle it up as a tarball.

After that, I'd like to have bitrate reduction using tcrequant - some of the
DVB stations I receive broadcast at bitrates of ~ 7500kb/s which comes to ~
4GB per hour. Meaning: a feature length film won't fit on a DVD as-is.

Once that works I might add transcoding of different formats - no promises
though: my system is DVB only, and I don't currently transcode anything, so
motivation is fairly low.

No, I don't know what "Single Record - Not Listed" means, at least not for sure.

But, Sunday afternoon, I happened to notice something quite similar, a line
in Upcoming Recordings saying, "Not Found" (or maybe "Not Listed").


Definitely "Not Listed"...


ABC-TV changed the name of their 36 Greatest NFL Moments show,


Might you be shown in this?


which I had scheduled days ahead of time, to something else.

I looked in the EPG, saw that the name was much shorter, and then
scheduled a singled-record of the newly-named program.  My guess
is that the program would NOT have been recorded unless I scheduled
the newly-named show,


That's exactly what we're after; to let you know that it changed
so you can try to fix it. Two bottles of Champagne ;-).


 OR punched an override with the remote on the
Upcoming Recordings list.


I don't think an override would work but making a new rule for
the short title is the right thing to do.


So, after all that long-winded blather, do you suppose that the names of
Your Movies were changed from the time you scheduled them ?
Just an idea.  Seems like a mean-spirited thing to do to MythTV folks,
changing the names of programs After they are first listed in the guide.


It's an even meaner thing to do to T... the leading commercial DVR
users. This is a new feature in myth to let MythTV users know that
they are being jerked around (but I don't really think the stations
are being malicious when they make these changes =).

One question might be why it doesn't record it anyway. That might
be good if it is the same show with a slightly different title but
almost every time a different title appears it is a completely
different show. The show you set the single rule for may still be
planned but in a different time slot. In any case, the "Not Listed"
lets you know that something isn't the same anymore and the show
you asked for is not going to record.

Yes. The intention is to let you know that the listings changed
after you set a kSingleRecord or kOverrideRecord. The rule no
longer finds a match in the current listings and therefore the
scheduler will not record it.

For you, you are now aware there is a problem to be fixed rather
than maybe (or maybe not) realizing some time later that the movie
you asked for never showed up as recorded as happens with the
leading commercial DVR. For me, I'll be popping a bottle of
Champagne because it succeeded in alerting you to the problem =).

since been recompiling and installing newer versions of MythTV (svn).


You didn't say which grabber you are using but there are new
changes to the EIT parsing that may effect if a program matches
a single record rule.

For a single record to match, the title (or search criteria for
search rules), station (the same "chanid" or a channel with with
the same "callsign" as the "chanid" where the rule was set) and
starttime must all match for the show to be scheduled to record.


Now when my "single record" movies come up they are not getting
recorded.  I go into the EPG or the upcoming recordings and they all
say "Single Record - Not Listed", but it's right there in the EPG.


For good meausre, run:

mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

in case there is any corruption that may be causing a problem
and restart your master backend in case this is just some
temporary confusion.

If not, for some reason they are no longer a match. It may be a
subtle change in the title or a change in the channel info or
starttime. However, if the status is marked for the item in the
EPG, that would most likely mean that the starttime and channel are
the same so the title is the most likely culprit. I just updated to
current SVN and all the single records I set several days ago still
match so it is not a generic problem. It may be related to the EIT
changes or your listing provider may have made a change where
these titles are no longer an exact string match.

Go to one of the "N"s on the Upcoming Recordings list, press Enter
and change the type to "Do not record this program" to remove the
offending rule first and avoid confusion. Go the the EPG and set a
new single record rule to see if it succeeds.

Assuming it does, the bad news is that you may have to do the same
not only for the singles that showed up as "N" but possibly for
other recurring rules where the titles may no longer match. On the
"Set Priorities" page, rules in white have no scheduled recordings.
The good news is that you have the opportunity to fix these before
you miss any recordings.

The big thing you appear to be missing is the btaudio and mpegrecorder

I understood the .nuv part that's not a .nuv for HD... But there is nothing

 I think it does work for PS files, but not TS. I still have a problem with 
the defitions of PS vs TS. I guess the PS is that the TS has been demuxed

 Usually a TS is a transport stream with either all the transport are only 
the program you want. Where I called them SPTS and MPTS.


As I understand it, a TS is basically another layer of wrapper that can 
contain multiple PS's.  Either multiple audio and video, or as is more 
likely in the US with ATSC, one video and multiple audio.


It's theoretically fairly easy to demux the TS into its components, and 
then remux the desired audio and video streams back into a single PS, 
though I've never tried.

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving Shows to DVD

[Martin Bene]

Hi Matt, 

> Either way, my DVD 
> player would never play any audio with the mythburn scripts 
> when I used them last winter because the sound was MPEG2 PCM 

As promised earlier, a new release of MythBurn is available that lets
you recode audio to ac3 format if 
- video format is ntsc 
- there's no ac3 audio stream in the original file 
- the option to recode mpeg2 to ac3 is set 
- you've got ffmpeg and a decoder for mpeg2 audio (like mpg123 or
madplay) installed. 

Other changes in this release: 
- changed ordering of audio streams for recordings with multiple audio
streams. Streams are sorted first by format and next by PID / PES-ID.
sort order for format depends on the video format: pal gets first mpeg2
then ac3 streams, ntsc gets ac3 first and mpeg2 next. This should help
compatibility issues with older ntsc players. 
- added dependancy checks to the install script; installation should now
warn you if you're missing any required tools. 

same installation procedure as last time: download
http://mabene.icomedias.com/mythburn/mythburn.tar.gz, unpack to a
directoy of your choice, run install.sh script. 

if you're upgrading, unpacking or copying over your existing
installation shouldn't hurt anything. please rerun install.sh to
initialize new config settings. both ffmpeg and mpg123 (or madplay) are
only required if you want to use audio recoding.

There's a nice wiki page about MythBurn installation and requirements at
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MythTVBurn_Scripts_HowTo
which is fairly up to date. If you feel there's something missing or
have further information, please update :-)
 
Bye, Martin
PS: if anyone can tell me how to transcode a "raw" mpeg2 audio file to
ac3 without adding new dependencies I'd be most interested.

I've been following this thread for a few days, and hoped to try out
the scripts sometime this week. However, after seeing this post it
appears as though I need some clarification.

If I understand correctly, if I have already transcoded programs from
MPEG2 (recorded from PVR250s and/or PVR500) to MPEG4, then I cannot
use these scripts to burn to DVD. Is this correct?

I guess what I need to do is start recording programs with a different
profile, so that they will not be automagically transcoded, if I want
to burn them to DVD. Please confirm...


Yes, this scripts only massage the containers, it doesn't re-encode the
program. Works very well if you have mpeg2 from a pvr-xxx board. I'm
playing around with a version that will also transcode because I did a
bunch of recordings initially at 480x480 resolution so make sure you're
also recording at 720x480 (for NTSC)

Yes, that's correct. At the moment, only mpeg2 files are supported. Once
you transcode to a different format, the scripts don't work.

> Did you see my last email (attached) about rc.sysinit?

Jarod's guide assumes you're using Red Hat.  Debian doesn't use
rc.sysinit but instead places scripts in /etc/init.d and uses symbolic
links from the /etc/rc?.d directories to control when they are called.
The files in /etc/rcS.d are called at boot, and then the rc0.d through
rc6.d files are called when entering and leaving various runlevels.
Each time there is a level change, the script manager looks in the old
runlevel for scripts starting with "K" and compares them with the
scripts starting with "S" in the new runlevel.  It then ignores the
matching pairs and calls the rest in alphabetical order, passing a
"stop" argument to the "K" scripts and a "start" argument to all the "S"
scripts.

If someone wants to mount MythTV shares when entering runlevel 5 and
unmount them in all other runlevels then the
/etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares script would look like:

#/bin/sh
# mount/unmount MythTV shares
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Mounting MythTV shares..."
smbmount {service} {mount-point} [-o options]
echo "done."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Unmounting MythTV shares..."
umount {mount-point}
echo "done."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0

(with the appropriate substitutions) and the symbolic links would be:
/etc/rc0.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc1.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc2.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc3.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc4.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc5.d/S90mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares
/etc/rc6.d/K10mount_MythTV_shares -> /etc/init.d/mount_MythTV_shares

The two-digit numeric value following the S or K is used to sequence the
scripts so that dependencies are observed.  You would choose values that
ensure that this script would mount the shares after the network was
configured but before the Myth front-end was started and unmount the
shares only after the Myth front-end had stopped.

Umm, no: avidemux only produces valid files for non-GOP cuts if you
recode the video. When cutting without recode, it'll happily accept and
perform a cut at an arbitrary frame, but you may end up with a file
starting with a couple of orphaned B-frames.


*but*, it'll reencode only what it needs, not the entire file.  Only

The scripts assume that the original files are mpeg2 in a DVD comaptible
resolution (720x576 for pal and 720x480 for ntsc; 704x576 and 704x480
are also mentioned in the standard and should work, as should a few
low-res settings).

Transcoding differet formats is on the radar for the scripts, but not
right away.

Next thing I'll add is recoding mpeg2 audio to ac3 for ntsc DVDs - on
pal, mpeg2 is a required format for all players so no problems there. On
NTSC ac3 is required and mpeg2 optional; just another way to introduce
artifical regional incompatibilities in the DVD standard. Works nicely
on my system, just need to bundle it up as a tarball.

After that, I'd like to have bitrate reduction using tcrequant - some of
the DVB stations I receive broadcast at bitrates of ~ 7500kb/s which
comes to ~ 4GB per hour. Meaning: a feature length film won't fit on a

Once that works I might add transcoding of different formats - no
promises though: my system is DVB only, and I don't currently transcode
anything, so motivation is fairly low.

One thing I would like to see as far as a wish list goes (aside from the 
tcrequant) would be support for taking HD recordings 1920x1080i or 
1280x720(?) resolutions and transcoding them down to fit on a DVD as a 
wide screen recording. I am getting more and more HD recordings.


Thanks for all the work. Your scripts rock,

anything, so motivation is fairly low.

Hello, this is my first post so please bear with me.
I have a P3 933 mhz, the PVR-350 with grey remote, and an old Nvidia TNT2 in

MythTV comes up and I escape out to the command line.
I type 
lircd start


and then I try to run 
irw

when I hit buttons on the remote nothing happens.
The IR receiver is plugged in through what looks like a headphone connector on 
the back of the PVR-350, I plugged it in there since it fit and came with the 
card.
There are no LED's on the remote. I am not sure if the remote is at fault, the 
receiver or my configuration.

MY pvr-350 only has the remote plugged in right now as I have not figured out 
how I am going to connect this thing to the TV yet.
Is there a cable that connects the sound card to the PVR-350? the only cables I 
found were a IR receiver, FM radio antenna, the big cable mess, and a little 
adapter piece. I have an onboard i8x0 sound with three plugs.

thank you for your time and have a good day

Perhaps taking a look at KnoppMyth forum...

Umm, no: avidemux only produces valid files for non-GOP cuts if you
recode the video. When cutting without recode, it'll happily accept and
perform a cut at an arbitrary frame, but you may end up with a file
starting with a couple of orphaned B-frames.

So far the only reliable external cutter is projectx; also doesn't do
frame-accurate cuts but at least it rounds cutpoints to the nearest gop
boundary instead of breaing your files.

[mythtv-users] Single Recod - Not Listed

[Greg Grotsky]

Anyone know what "Single Record - Not Listed" means in the EPG?  I
scheduled some movies to record that were off in the future and I have
since been recompiling and installing newer versions of MythTV (svn). 
Now when my "single record" movies come up they are not getting
recorded.  I go into the EPG or the upcoming recordings and they all
say "Single Record - Not Listed", but it's right there in the EPG.

Thanks,

I don't know much about the Epia systems, although I have seen lots of
discussion on this list, so you may want to check the archives. With
that said, if your system will have onboard TV out with a decoder,
then it seems like you would not need a PVR350. The PVR500 will give
you two tuners and is reasonably well supported at this time.

[mythtv-users] Hardware Recommandation

[Joachim Schwarzhorn]

Hello,

I´m new to this mailing list. I´ve been reading a few days and also 
tried to find some information otherwise. I want to build a mediacenter 
in near future.


I want to record TV-shows or films and perhaps radio shows. (Film 
Editing probably will be done on another machine).

Live TV is not necessary, playback of DVDs is not a must but a nice feature.
The system will be a relacement for a VHS-Recorder and I hope it will be 
very silent and energy saving.


I was thinking about the following hardware for MythTV:

Motherboard Via Epia SP8000 (fanless and with TV-out on board including 
MPEG2 decoder)

Hauppaugge PVR 350 or PVR500
Harddisk Samsung about 200GB 5400rpm
Network Connection to Main machine

Is anyone using such or a similiar system. Is this system powerful 
enough or am I totally wrong.


Any help appriciated.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythtranscode and nuvexport (memory usage and swapping)

[Chris Petersen]

I ran into similar issues with nuvexport.  What I have
done (which seems to work just fine) is to cut
commercials out with this program:


If you're hitting swap, then one of the nuvexport calls is broken and 
the fifo is getting disconnected (audio or video), which causes 
mythtranscode to continue to write to the fifo (which is cached in RAM).



http://www.pvrguide.no-ip.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=26826


Which program?  commercial_cut or avidemux?  afaik, avidemux is the ONLY 
program capable of cutting mpeg files at places other than the GOP 
(necessary for cutting commercials, which may or may not fall on a GOP 
edge) without reencoding everything.



I then transcode with mencoder which seems to do well
with the HD stream contained inside Myth's nuv
container.


Once and for all, please learn that THERE ARE NO HD nupplevideo files 
from myth, unless you use mythtranscode to convert them to mpeg4.  If 
you record HD, what you see called .nuv is really an mpeg2 TS (or PS, 
depending on settings) file.  Only thing that makes it not look like an 
mpeg is the fact that the filename says .nuv instead of .mpg.  Same goes 
for files recorded from pvr-x50 cards.  They're *not* nupplevideo, but 
standard mpeg recordings in standard mpeg containers.


Currently, and I don't know why, nuvexport does NOT work with TS files. 
 I haven't had time to debug it (only recently got an air2pc card), and 
don't really know enough about ffmpeg/transcode/mencoder to figure out 
how to make them work.  (I'm open to help if anyone knows how)

Heh... I have. For some reason even though the /incoming/FS/ dir had
777 permissions, the script bombed unless the owner of the dir was
apache. I'll stick to the current version since it seems to work...

By the way, many of my recordings are transcoded to mpeg4... Should I
assume this script won't transcode them properly?

Actually, I'd recommend sticking with the 0.6.11 version you've got now.
I've definitely had strange problems with the 0.6.12 alpha version.

[mythtv-users] Re: Audio in TvTime, not captured in Myth

[Edwin Chang]

I'm using the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card, and
I've used alsamixer (also a text-based alsamixer) to
set capture to line-in, but myth still doesn't seem to
record it.

Might the following output indicate that both OSS and
ALSA are being used by myth, making a recording
conflict? Or does myth always show the OSS line?

Thats after the run above? Because the version clearly states that the
log was made by 0.6.11, not by 0.6.12 alpha.

Have you doublechecked the existiens of /incoming/mythburn/FS and the
directory permissions of that directory? Thats pretty much the only
thing I can think of, since DVDauthor seems to fall flat on ist face
right when first trying to access the DVD directory. You could just
rerun the mythburn installation script to reset permissions for the DVD
directory (and create it if neccessary). Can't think of anything elese

[Joe Garcia]

>From what I am reading below it looks like your suggesting that the

The only soundcard that I have setup is the SB.  Do I need to setup
the pvr-150 as an alsa controled audio input and if so how do I do
that?

Well audio works just fine out of mythtv... and there isn't much audio
to configure inside of mythtv-setup.  I don't see any options in
mythfrontend to set up any audio.

What should I use as a guide to verifying my audio config?  If it
works for everything else why won't it work with mythfrontend.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: stumped "audio waiting for buffer to fill"

[Tom Blaireau]

Is there any configuration in mythtv where you can reduce the audio buffer?

Anyway, this problem could be thrown because Mythtv is waiting for the
capture audio to get more audio input. It could be a crash of your audio
card while watching to the tv.
I suggest you to verify all audio configuration, (alsamixer, mythtv
config) and to verify your 'cache' disk (maybe something is wrong with
him..)

[mythtv-users] mythstreamtv, Gentoo, & separate frontends & backends

[Jesse Guardiani]

Hello,

I've got a rather odd setup. I think most people with separate front & 
backends

usually run their PVR card on the backend. I don't. I run it on my frontend.

Actually, I have two backends. One on the frontend box, driving the PVR 
card,

and one on my NFS box, doing commercial flagging, primarily. My MySQL
database lives on my NFS box too, and so does mythweb. The frontend box
access it's storage via NFS. The storage actually exists on the NFS box. 
I do

this because I have limited CPU power. This setup distributes the load very
well.

The frontend box is KnoppMyth R5A16. The NFS box is Gentoo.

Anyway, I've been trying to get mythstreamtv running. I failed miserably on
my KnoppMyth box as I could get the newest versions of ffmpeg & vlc
compiling correctly. So now I've moved mythweb & mythstreamtv to my
NFS box and I *think* I've compiled vlc and ffmpeg on the Gentoo/NFS
box with the correct flags (it took a couple of tries as there aren't 
any Gentoo +

mythstreamtv howtos out there):

media-video/vlc mp3 dvd xv svg ffmpeg ogg vorbis theora freetype flac 
live libcaca mod nsplugin httpd stream

media-video/ffmpeg mp3 aac zlib a52 vorbis ogg truetype doc

But now when I try to start a mythstreamtv session, I get this:

Starting Stream of 
myth://192.168.88.100:6543/1176_2005082723_20050827233000.nuv
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
[0438] main interface: creating httpd
[0441] main input error: no suitable access module for

[0435] main playlist: nothing to play


I've googled it, and it appears that the 'myth://...' URL is coming from 
mythweb,

not vlc or mythstreamtv. So how do I get mythweb to use:
   
http://www.myhost.com/mythweb/video_dir/1176_2005082723_20050827233000.nuv


Instead?

Thanks!

[mythtv-users] HELP!!! Blank screen with PVR-150

[Joe Garcia]

I captured the output of "mythfrontend -v all" because I only get a
black screen and an unresponsive computer if I try to view any video
in mythtv.  I can record just fine.  I can view the mythtv recorded
files with mplayer with sound.  I can do a mplayer /dev/video0 and
that works fine video an all.  LiveTV or trying to watch any of the
recorded video in mythtv results in a race condition that denys all
access to the compter and only a hard reset will bring it out of this
race condition.

Htere is what I see repeated over and over from the "mythfrontend -v
all" capture

Re: [mythtv-users] LIRC: MythTV native support & other

[Dr. C Mythology]

Nathan: I just realised that it picks up signals from my stereo remote's up/down buttons.
But I get signals even when not pressing any buttons on any remote, though it doesn't happen nearly as often as before.

It doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to. I started irw 10 minutes ago. Nothing yet.

Nick: I'll try unplugging the receiver afterwards and get back to you.
I certainly get signals if I leave it on for a whole night, so maybe I
should try unplugging it tonight.

Re: [mythtv-users] Pundit-R & Myth notes

[Blastzone]

I'm expecting good HD playback, once I get to that point, but since
there's no HD source around here, I'm not working on that too
hard.  It will probably work the system pretty hard, but it's a
dedicated box.

As for fitting the cards in the case, yes, you can, provided you're
patient and don't mind bending some metal.  The PVR-250 was
actually harder, it's about 2mil taller than the HD3000.  I also
had problems with the solder points on the PVR touching the HD tuner
(or the other way 'round), which dictated which card went in which slot.

Finally, I did end up having to bend out the little metal tab on the
chassis that clips to the card carrier, as it would not fit with the
PVR.  A minor adjustment that makes the final finish a little
less-than-perfect, but it's hidden behind the case.  I also had to
file out space for the coax connectors, as they were touching the
chassis, and due to the length of the barrel on the HD card, I couldn't
get a good antenna connection.  The PVR has a huge barrel, and
that's not a problem.

IIRC there is a Male/Male 1/8" stereo minijack (walkman headphone
style plug) that will take the sound cards line out and run it to the
PVR350's line-in as a passthrough.  In that you'll be able to hear
"system" sounds via the PVR350's RCA plugs audio out on the dongle
thingie.

It's possible I've got that completely backwards =)

Re: [mythtv-users] Recommended GUI dimensions/setup to deal with overscan @ 1920x1080i

[Dan Christian]

I was using component out, and it wasn't clear if this was included or not.

In fact, the component out signal works better with typical overscan, but not 
really enough.  DVI is, of course, sharper; but you see more with component.  
Can't win, really.

Replying to myself here, just for reference: I'm happy to report that
the above configuration seems to be doing fine running mythfrontend
0.18.1 under OS X 10.4. I'm using the binary build from
http://www.goof.com/~mmead/MythFrontend-0.18.1.dmg.bz2 and I'm
streaming un-transcoded PAL DVB video via 100Mbit Ethernet (Hoping to
switch to 802.11g soon.)

So. at least for that setup, 550 MHz seem to suffice on OS X. The
system is close to its limit here, though, and the Powerbook's fan
does make quite some noise during watching, since the system's running
at maximum load.

If you're looking at putting together a system based on an ASUS

Pundit-R case OK?  Also, is HD playback pretty smooth with the intel 
2.53GHz p4 Northwood?  I'm about to give up on the xbox, but if I go to 
dedicated PCs I want to do HD.


Thanks!

If you're looking at putting together a system based on an ASUS

Of course, this implies that you aren't concerened about security..
there are somewhat more secure ways to do this in the mount.cifs

David,
If you put an entry for the filesystem in /etc/fstab, it should get
mounted on every reboot. It is just a matter of putting the correct
entry in. It should look something like this (all on one unwrapped
line):


servername:/sharename  smbfs rw,user=winuser,password=winpass  0 0


You can get more detail on the options by doing "main mount.cifs".

Steve,

I ran into similar issues with nuvexport.  What I have
done (which seems to work just fine) is to cut
commercials out with this program:

http://www.pvrguide.no-ip.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=26826

This will cut the commercials and reinsert the program
back into the database without having to transcode or
change container format.

I then transcode with mencoder which seems to do well
with the HD stream contained inside Myth's nuv
container.

Well, I run KnoppMyth which is a variation of Debian and I'm at work, not
home. The best thing to do is to look around in the how-tos for your
specific distribution, read the man pages and learn what you need to know
about it. it wouldn't be good to just take the advice of someone random off
the web without some understanding of what you're causing to happen. your
distribution initialization may be different. Generally there's a random
local startup script you can add it to, be it rc.local or miscutils.sh or
whatever and anything you can use at the command line will generally work.
you just need to figure out where in the sequence you need it to take
place. Obviously you can't access the network before it's initialized, for
example. While the software is free, there is a learning curve.

I know you have tried slashes, but have you tried using the autocomplete

start typing the name of a directory and hit TAB, it will autocomplete.  
If the directory has spaces, it will include the escape characters.  So, 
if you use that method to access a similarly named directory, can you 
copy the text it creates?


Good luck!

Sorry to trouble everyone, (round 2!)

 Thanks to all of your help I have got a wonderful MythTV setup

(2) Converting NUV to MPEG. Also, burning a DVD.

Now that I have these huge NUV files working perfectly on my backend,
I am looking for a way to turn them into MPEG's (or DIVX) to share to
my windows box (or with friends), and to make DVD's for the
non-computer using family.

I have looked around the menus, and i have waded through this mailing
list. Unfortunately there seems to be a numerous opinions on how to do
both of the above. I am wondering if anyone is maintaining, or is
aware of a "mythtv" guide to converting to mpeg, and a "mythtv" guide
to burning to DVD?

I my wrong in assuming that these two features will one day be a
simple menu option from within mythtv? Any sort of advice or place
where I can gather more info would be great.

How about changing the share name on the server so there's no spaces to
worry about or work around?  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

Another alternative is to use nfs instead of smbfs for the video shares.

un-install re-install of mysql and mythtv-suite and all is well.  Thanks 
for the tip!

If so, you might have hit, i think the combo is, crtl+alt+ and '+' or
'-' which  changes between teh resolutions in xserver as defined by
your x-org.conf  (in gentoo /etc/X11/ ) and you can change back using
those keys.

just figured i would mention it, in case you accidently his those kets
while in mythsetup and misattributed the problem.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBOX Frontend question (actually a debian question!)

[David Bennett]

tried one billion times (slight exaggeration.)
People have recommended brackets, quotes, slashes to deal with the
space in the share name and none of them have yet to work. hence, I
figured it would be easier just to have the smbmount command run
automatically on reboot.

any ideas? ;)
thank you though.

[mythtv-users] OT: FC4 and Nvidia / ATRPMs

[Brian C. Huffman]

All,

Following Jarod's new Fedora Myth(TV)ology for FC4, I had a slight
problem with the nvidia packages from ATRPMS.  I don't know if this was
something I did wrong or not, but I had to make a symbolic link to get
the NV-GLX extension to load.

Something like this:  (I'm not at home)
ln
-s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions

Now it works... Before, X wouldn't load.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBOX Frontend question (actually a debian question!)

[James Esslinger]

You should be able to put the relevant mounts in the file /etc/fstab.
If you're having problems figuring it out do a google search for "smbfs
fstab".

[mythtv-users] Converting to MPEG and/or buring to DVD - a guide?

[David Bennett]

Sorry to trouble everyone, (round 2!)

 Thanks to all of your help I have got a wonderful MythTV setup
working which my wife and I absolutely adore. Just a few more little
bugs to sort out and everything will be perfect. I have been putting
it off, so I have decided to post these two messages in an attempt to
seek out the answers to the last few remaining bugs.

(2) Converting NUV to MPEG. Also, burning a DVD.

Now that I have these huge NUV files working perfectly on my backend,
I am looking for a way to turn them into MPEG's (or DIVX) to share to
my windows box (or with friends), and to make DVD's for the
non-computer using family.

I have looked around the menus, and i have waded through this mailing
list. Unfortunately there seems to be a numerous opinions on how to do
both of the above. I am wondering if anyone is maintaining, or is
aware of a "mythtv" guide to converting to mpeg, and a "mythtv" guide
to burning to DVD?

I my wrong in assuming that these two features will one day be a
simple menu option from within mythtv? Any sort of advice or place
where I can gather more info would be great.

Thank you!

sincerely,
David Bennett

[mythtv-users] XBOX Frontend question (actually a debian question!)

[David Bennett]

Sorry to trouble everyone,

 Thanks to all of your help I have got a wonderful MythTV setup
working which my wife and I absolutely adore. Just a few more little
bugs to sort out and everything will be perfect. I have been putting
it off, so I have decided to post these two messages in an attempt to
seek out the answers to the last few remaining bugs.

(1) XBOX Frontend (Xebian) but actually a debian question

I am mounting a Samba share of my "other videos" from my Windows box.
Unfortunately my share name has a space in it which is preventing me
from getting it to work in fstab (unless someone has an idea there.) I
can get it working fine from a manual SMBMOUNT.

My question is, where can I put this SMBMOUNT so that it is run
automatically on reboot? I don't know enough about Linux to find an
autoexec.bat, and I am worried that even if I put it somewhere that it
will get run before the Samba Daemon is loaded. I have tried putting
it in the fluxbox.sh script I found in the mythtv directory, but no
such luck (that and it didn't look much like a batch file.)

Any ideas on how to get this smbmount to run on reboot? Where should it go?

I should also let you know what I am running. Fedora Core 4 Backend
with a Haupauge 500 and an XBOX Frontend.

Thank you again and I hope someone out there can help!

How do I tell what 'version' of the card it is ?? At least that would be a

[mythtv-users] Pundit-R & Myth notes

[Blastzone]

After almost 5 months of work, I finally have a running MythTV
system!  I'm looking forward to having real recording, show
archives, and all of those fun things you can do with Myth.  It's
been a pretty big project, and I ran into quite a few roadblocks along
the way.  I've put many of my notes online, in the hopes that they
might help others with their systems.  They're pretty
stream-of-thought, but there are nuggets of info in there, I'm sure.

If you're looking at putting together a system based on an ASUS
pundit-r, I recommend looking through at least the first part of my
notes.  The motherboard on those systems does not like SATA Hard
Drives & PATA DVD drives.

I also ran into issues with segfaulting internal players, hauppauge
tuners that wouldn't initialize, HD-3000 cards and no OTA HD
broadcasts.  You can find my comments at:
http://www.blastzone.net/~kamikazi/hardware/mythtv

Thanks again to all online who helped!
