With this patch, Myth will schedule one of the consecutive programs to a free tuner, if by doing so it will be able to honour the global under/overrecord setting and not disrupt anything else.

Re: [mythtv-users] VIA XvMCvld
Thanks a lot for your efforts to help me, but I havn't seen any problem with X itself, that means if I start a normal X session with window manager and so on I have the full screen, only if I start mythfrontend with xinit and XvMCvld enabled I get this problem, also just after the start of the X server I have the full screen with it's typical grey background, but when mythfrontend is starting up it's only the top half. Best Regards, Dirk Am Montag, 5. September 2005 10:27 schrieb Stephen Dolan: I suspect you may see what I have been getting: invalid module format... That usually means that the module was built with a vastly different version of gcc than the application trying to insert it. I'd agree with this interpretation. As a rule, when I update my kernel, I always rebuild all the kernel modules at the same time. The one time I didn't do this, via.ko and drm.ko loaded ok without error messages, but on close inspection of the Xorg.log.0 file I noticed that DRM was unable to enable some interrupt. This resulted in all sorts of odd problems. Anyway, rebuilding the modules solved all problems.

[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase errors: Can; t get channel+ no sound in mythtv
Hi,
Running Fedora Core 3 in the following box
Intel (Thrasher motherboard) with P-4 2.6 Ghz+ 1GB RAM
Radeon 9250 Video Card (PCI) with OSS 'radeon' + 'dri' driver running
Hauppauge wintv go video capture card running on 'bttv driver' (I'm
piping the audio thru my PC's intel sound card rather than
brooktree-audio, might be relevant to my problem, I dunno)
installed mythtv-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at
mysql-3.23.58-16.FC3.1
xmltv-0.5.40-62.rhfc3.at
I followed the instruction according to the following site:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/HOWTO-fc3.php
I made detailed logs (as detailed as I could) of what it is that I did exactly. They are presented below.
I followed the instruction as religiously as I could. mythtv backend starts up ok, and frontend also starts up, but
1. No channel info (even though I configged my login/passwd for zap2it labs
2. I can only get 1 channel (can't change them with keystrokes) and NO sound
My tv tunder card works fine in itself (I can use 'tvtime'
software and watch tv w/out probs, but mythtv is so much more versatile
that I just HAVE to have it)
No problem with the xml file at my zap2it labs account (I use
tv_grab_na_dd to download the xml file from there so that 'tvtime' can
read it, and it reads it and renders the info just fine)
I would appreciate any guidance or advice as to how I should try to fix these problems.

I would make sure your database is OK, both in terms of having all of
the required tables, and make sure the existing tables contain no
errors.
Please don't repost the same question after only 1 day - people who

by all means post with any updated info.

[mythtv-users] small problem with receiving channels
hello, I have configured mythtv 0.18.1 on a Debian Sarge system with a Hauppage DVB-s card. It works fine for me beside's just one thing: I can't receive any channels that are encrypted. I have the originall canal+ card an a CI interface for the Hauppage card, so it's as legal as it can get. But mythtv will not encrypt any canal+ channels. I am sure this card is fully functionall because it works in any other satreceiver I put it in. Will there ever be any support in Mythtv for this kind of setup, or will Mythtv be only able to receive non-encrypted channels? sincerely AJ Hettema ps: I do not intend to do anything illegal, but Mythtv is such a great thing that it would be nice if I could use it to watch to encrypted channels as well. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I never had to worry about creating a schedule for this channel.

[mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding
My auto transcoding has been failing more often than not for the past few months. As I've been swapping my master and slave backends (and reinstalling Linux on the slave-now-master), I assumed it was some setting or another that I overlooked. I've gone back through them all to make sure everything is set the way I think they should be set but it is still failing at least half of the time. What bugs me is that there's no indication as to why it failed. I tried the manual version on the command line of a recording that previously failed and it finished ok so there was no indication as to why the autotranscode failed. Is there a command-line switch or something I can use to get more information as to why the auto transcode is failing? attachment: winmail.dat___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Hello all, I was a happy mythtv user for many months on a system using a dual-head display with an old Voodoo3 video card for the monitor and a pvr-350 for mythtv output. Decided to upgrade to a newer box, and as part of it got a nvidia geforce mx4000 to replace the aging voodoo3. Now, I'm having all kinds of problems getting my PVR-350 to work properly.

This is a bit more tricky. Frankly, WLAN can be a royal pain in the ass in Linux. Also, be aware that sending video around a network uses A LOT of bandwidth and requires low latency, so you may run into problems with WLAN, no matter how compatible it is. I have used wlan fine with myth, having not changed any encoding settings from the default. This is with 802.11g. Casual measurements showed bandwidth usage averaged a little over 8Mb/s from memory, so possible but very hard to reliably obtain under 802.11b, and quite easy on 802.11g. The easy answer to getting WLAN working is a package called ndiswrapper, which acts as a sort of API translator -- it fools a card into thinking it's on MS, and lets you use the MS drivers to run your card in Linux. Alternatively, and probably better, do some research before you buy a card and make 100% sure you get one of the few with linux drivers. 4) Does Mythv or better Linux at all support USB Bluetooth adapters? -See 3 and 5 for my reasons. Yes, but I can't really give you more information. However, bluetooth drivers are included with pretty much every standard distro, if you choose to install them. I have no bluetooth devices, so can't comment on how well they work. I have bluetooth but haven't got around to getting it working with myth yet. My understanding is that mythwifi (despite the name) is the program to use. 5) Can I add other Linux programs to Mythv on my own (I'm not a Linuxer, but do not hide myself for compiling ;-)? You seem to be confusing mythtv with an operating system. Mythtv is a program, like Windows Media Player. You can add plugins to myth in the same way as you can add plugins to WMP. You can also add programs in linux in the same way as you can add programs in windows. But the presence of WMP on your machine doesn't affect how you add programs any more than the presence of mythtv affects how you add programs. Given what you have said here, I would definitely recommend you go the Fedora route and follow Jarod Wilson's excellent guide. It will give you a full, top-shelf Linux OS and walk you step-by-step through the process of installing and configuring MythTV and all its components and underlying requirements. Agreed. I have had pretty good luck with wireless ethernet bridges. Specifically, I have a couple of Linksys WET54G bridges, and they seem to work fine. These are very very handy with any device that can't easily use wireless (no built-in wireless, no pcmcia slots, no usb wireless adapters with drivers, etc). You simply configure the bridge for your particular network's settings, connect the bridge to the problem device, and the bridge does the rest. As far as the problem device is concerned, it's simply wired to the network -- no wireless settings or drivers on it. All that stuff is internal to the bridge.

A lot of variables changed in short order. All works well except audio on channel 6, CBC using the PVR250 (my original card which worked before) is missing. There is audio with the PVR150 and with the TV tuner direct. The CBC station is CBLN through Rogers Cable in London, Ontario.

[mythtv-users] WAF Emergency - FFwd not working smoothly, Commercial skip being a LITTLE flakey.
I'm trying to solve a couple problems to increase the WAF of my system. So far the system is working VERY well. WAF is pretty high, but she's complaining about a couple items. 1) When fast forwarding through a recorded program you can hit the button once and sometimes twice and get relatively smooth playback... Any more than that and things pause or glitch in some way.. And then playback pauses and sometimes even goes back to where you started Ffwding. 2) When coming to the end of a program the system will often skip the last couple of minutes after the last commercial break. Any ideas on these? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Problems with FC4 and WinTV PVR150
Good day, for the past two days I am struggenling with the MythTV install on Fedora Core 4. The application itself runs fine and the install was rather painless (thanks in no small part due to the How-To). But I ran into one big problem: TV Capture doesn't work. When I cat /dev/video0 I do receive a picture but it is distorted (only maybe 2/3 I can see, the rest is off to the right) and at best I can get false colours or black and white but no colour at all. I did try the different inputs as recommended in the how-to but none seems to be having any effect. The other problem is: How do I get Audio to the Video? My sources are either SVHS (MiniDIN) or normal video (I have to use a digital TV Box from Motorola, so I am stuck with either of those two, antenna doesn't really buy me much, at least not if I cannot get a passthrough to the TV going). Anybody got any ideas? I have a bunch of logfiles and other output here if that helps. Thanks.

From that, my best guess is that I've got a new style remote, that needs it's own lircd.conf file. To that end, I tried running irrecord to produce a lircd.conf file. When I did that, and then ran irw, every button showed up as the first one declared (OK in this case).

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: Recommendation for a WLAN PCI card (UK-based)
FYI The NETGEAR WG311T seems to do fine with the madwifi driver, or at least the one I just got from best buy seems okay. I've only tested the 802.11 b functions. (In my application I can't use the thick allnet card.) Of course newegg shows two box pictures. I have the one where the metal box is thin and only takes up the left half. If you get one it wouldn't hurt to get it from somewhere that allows returns in the event that it doesn't arrive with the chipset you thought it would arrive with. Also note my testing is from 10 feet away and I've only checked basic WEP, dhcp, and a few web pages so far.. Personally, based on what I know, if the thicker card isn't a problem, and for almost everyone it won't be, the allnet might be a better choice. Do note that the prism54 drivers most everyone use require a hard mac card like that one. Many of the new cards are so called soft mac versions where it simply doesn't work, although there is work on a new version here. http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/index.html I tried an SMC card that turns out to requires the softmac driver, and I got the card to come up and go into master mode but pinging didn't work. In short, that doesn't seem ready for production use at this time.. Linux wireless, especially in finding cards that support Master mode can be an adventure.. Of course if you don't need master mode, you can possibly use the ndiswrapper to use windows drivers.

From that, my best guess is that I've got a new style remote, that needs it's own lircd.conf file. To that end, I tried running irrecord to produce a lircd.conf file. When I did that, and then ran irw, every button showed up as the first one declared (OK in this case). When I use irw I then get a syslog message (assuming you used syslog log compile option) showing a connection # cat /var/log/syslog | grep lirc Sep 6 10:07:30 localhost kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 Sep 6 10:07:30 localhost kernel: lirc_streamzap: no version for lirc_unregister_plugin found: kernel tainted.

Re: [mythtv-users] Back of the envelope calcs for minimum network speed
On 9/5/05, Brian McEntire [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi - A question about network capacity: I'm planning to put a front end by the TV, and a back end in a different part of the house. The primary purpose for this MythTV setup is HDTV viewing. Some early HDTV recordings are about 2.4 GB for 30 minutes. This works out to 2.4 * 10^9 * 8 bits/B / 30 min / 60 sec/min= 10.7 Mbps About 1.37 MB/sec. You can get this from 802.11g, but it's right at the limit of the standard 54 MBps (and only if you don't use the network in mixed mode, if you add 802.11b clients the throughput will drop). However, this is well within the limits for the fast 11g, i.e. proprietary extensions which typically double the speed of the network (you've probably seen 108 Mbps devices advertised, that's them). The catch is, they are usually 108 Mbps to each other, and 54 Mbps to another brand, if you're lucky. I have a network of several Viewsonic WAP/Bridge devices (WAPBR-100, CompUsa sells them on-line if you can't find them) and I get 2.4 MB/sec transfer rate to and from my Myth box. These are ethernet to wireless bridges, not wireless adapters, which is the best since you don't have to mess with wireless drivers - you just take all your bridges to one place, connect them to a PC one by one, configure them all, one as a WAP and the rest as bridges, and then connect them to any ethernet-enabled device, and with no changes to the device you're now connected to wireless. Fedor For streaming from the backend to the frontend (aka accessing via NFS?) it appears it will exceed Ethernet speed and require fast ethernet. I don't have cable run, so my question is, for a strong signal, is it reasonable to expect a quality stream over 54 Mbps wireless-g or is running CAT5/6 a better bet?
