Hi Chris,

2 quick questions:

i) why are you using OSS and not ALSA for audio (for ALSA, use
'ALSA:default' and 'default')? I'm sure Jarod's guide for FC3 uses
ALSA.

ii) do you get the same problems when watching on the backend machine
- i.e. eliminating the frontend from the testing?

I'd use very verbose logging (-vv I think) to see if there any
messages currently not making it into the logs which might help.

I've had that problem sporadically.  I haven't been able to figure out
what causes it, but it seems to fix itself after a while.  Let me know
if you come up with anything.

[Mythtv-users] Playing recording kills frontend

2005-09-07 Thread Chris Henderson

Hi all,

I have been fully enjoying the mythtv experience after 2 years for
trying to get it working (part time with VERY wrong hardware). the Wife
forked over some money for a new computer for me and mine (P3 1gig)
became the BE along with a dvico  fusion dvbt card. 

Once it was all going with a lot of help from people Off list (thanks
again guys) the WAF is very high. high enough to get a second dvbt card
so she doesnt miss any shows due to confection.

I have installed the machine to Jarrod Wilsons FC3 guide (thanks Jarrod
for the guide) and i am now using a HP e-vectra as a front end, again
using JW FC3 guide.

Now come the problem, which is more annoying than anything.
Occasionally when watching a program on the frontend that had been
recorded previously, it seems to fault somehow.

I have searched the list and it was said that the commercial marking
jobs can do this. So i turned off the jobs for all recordings. (we
don't keep the recordings anyway). this didn't seem to fix it.

Again i went back to the forum and another suggestion was when the free
space in recording drive was low this would happen. But it has happened
again the other night while recording Startgate Atlantis (of all
things). the recording wok great up till a point then it ands and sits
there for ages and then myth craps its self and goes back to the FC
desktop.

SO i didn't get shitty with it and delete it i ave keep the recording
and now on a day off i have killed the automatic start of the backend
and frontend and started them up in  terminal sessions. (again a
suggestion off the list)

here is what i got:

RE: [mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Brekken
Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:42 AM
To: Discussion about mythtv
Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding

Any chance a recording made on the master is trying to be transcoded
by the slave? (or vice-versa)  I've got a master/slave backend setup, and
I've noticed that often my transcoding jobs fail because  the slave tries to
process a recording that was made on the master.  Looking at the backend
logs on the slave, there's a mesage that states something to the effect that
"remote" transcoding is not allowed.  (unlike commercial flagging, which can
be done on any backend regardless of where the recording was made)  Not sure
if this is what's happening in your case, but I've seen this bug quite
often.

I think that might actually be the problem.  Before, I had both backends
using the same location (slave via NFS).  Now that they are currently
separate, it looks like anything recorded on the slave is failing.  I've
changed the setting and will see how it goes.

Thanks,

Mo

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe using extra verbose logging might shed
some more info. Also, check the backend logfile (where the tuning
occurs) which might include this info too.

Most new Linux users would be very uncomfortable without KDE or GNOME

The lightest weight window manager possible for MythTV would be to
actually run mythfrontend as your windowmanager. Few people are that
hardcore. (and mythfrontend coredumps too often for me to want to
consider that)

Skilled linux users or people with mythtv hardware that doesn't have
gigahertz and gigabytes of RAM to spare probably want to run a lighter
weight window manager on dedicated mythtv hardware.

Aside from resource hogging, and whether or not a given WM is actively
being developed or maintained, there are no bad choices -
Windowmanagers are completely about personal preference.

Go here: http://xwinman.org/

I've tried them all and then some over the years.

My preference are:
blackbox/fluxbox - good lightweight kde/gnome alternative that is
rather friendly and still provides a lot of features
icewm - if you like Windows, you'll like icewm
fvwm2 - sort of an old faithful. Not very easy to configure. Works for me (tm)
twm or mwm - on nearly every UNIX/Linux OS, very lightweight, known
suckage quantity

Good luck and... as the SuSE distros say... Have fun!

The digital audio decoding amplifier will be responsible for the
volume levels when using an SPDIF as I understand it with my system
(the SPDIF just outputs a digital stream of the audio data, the
decoder then decodes and amplifies individual channels). Analogue
audio can obviously be controlled using either MythTVs internal
controls or an external mixer like alsamixer.

This has also happened to me.  I believe there's a lock file (I can't

kept.  Just delete the lockfile, everything should work.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to fix this problem?

I've tried:
* restarting the backend
* stop the backend, rmmod ivtv, then modprobe ivtv, and then restart

* rebuilding from mythtv-setup

Coudl this be somekind of database permissions problem? everything

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

I've seen a lot of people talking about that this ratpoison window

Also I heard there was an issue with it and using the TVOUT from the

If so what is the recommended Window Manager of choice. Previously I

up-to-date, so if you're using a fairly recent 2.6 kernel, you probablydon't need to compile in linux-dvb separately.
I was using 2.6.12-r9 I think, and linuxtv and dvico would not patch the kernel
I would experience errors. So I ended up using the vanilla kernel. The problem
I found was that when I loaded mythtvsetup and selected dvb, I got a message 
saying it could not locate the directory or file. I ran ls in /dev and foud the 
following structure

/dev/dvb.adapter0.frontend0
/dev/dvb.adapter0.audio0
etc

There was no /dev/dvb directory.

> I have had success with Mandrake 10.0 community and linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1.> So I reinstalled 
Mandrake10.0 and recompiled linuxtv-dvb against the> kernel. I downloaded, and extracted mythtv-0.18, ran ./configure> --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1/ then ran qmake> 
mythtv.pro  then make and make install.The DVB path should be the path to the linux include files. I don'tthink that's the same as the linux-dvb source files. If your kernel is
2.6.12 or later, you can (and ./configure will) point to the kernelsource tree: /usr/src/linux/include. If your kernel is earlier, youmustn't include the kernel source directly - copy just the dvb stuffsomewhere else, and include that.

I found out that ./configure --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1
would not add the dvb instruction set. I modified settings.pro

# DVB supportCONFIG += using_dvbDEFINES += USING_DVBINCLUDEPATH +=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1
and now I can watch HDTV :)

Re: [mythtv-users] setup for channels that are not 24/7

2005-09-07 Thread Mike Angstadt

I believe he's saying that Hallmark is channel 61 until 5:30.
After 5:30 Bravo is on channel 61. I had a similar situation
until recently with my Comcast having Comedy Central only after 6pm
(and before that it was CourtTV! gah)

So he's saying he doesn't want to waste recording time with MythTV
trying to record The West Wing from Bravo when the channel is actually
Hallmark. My Comcast program guide showed the Comedy Central
programs for all day, even though we only had it after 6, and I'm
assuming he has a similar problem. So Myth would think The West
Wing was playing on 61, but really it would be Little House on the
Praire or some other equally boring Hallmark channel show :)

That being said, I'm a lurker who hasn't yet put together my HTPC and
thus don't have any experience in Myth, so I'm just clarifying (I
believe) what he meant to ask. He only wants to record from Bravo
after 5:30 basically.

[mythtv-users] Real-time commflag with dual tuners; pause transcoding?

2005-09-07 Thread Mike Benoit

I have a PVR-500 in my MythTV box and I would like to have real time
commercial flagging of both tuners at the same time, but not
transcoding. 

I have set the job queue to run two jobs simultaneously, however if a
transcode job is running when a recording starts, it won't flag
commercials in real time. I thought of setting it so jobs only run
between certain hours, but then I assume it disables the commercial
flagging altogether until those hours?

Is there anyway to do this? 

Ideally transcoding would be paused while any commercial flagging jobs
were in the queue. But alternatively just have transcoding only happen
between certain hours and commercial flagging happen in real time.

Thanks.

You would need to have a dedicated input for the camera if you were
using a PVR card.  It would be better to use a web camera so your
encoders are not competing with shows you are trying to record.  The
trick is to bring this up in pip mode on the display which I think would
require the use of an encoder with the way it works now.

Probably would need some kind of transcoding to get it to display with
the current setup.  Not sure about that.

I agree with the ZoneMinder reference.  But I'd love to see it hooked

Odd.

On my system a copy and a symlink have the same behaviour.
I obviously saw the same archive entry and I didn't believe it (!) so I
tried both a symlink and copy and made sure to restart Myth etc etc.

Maybe permissions?
What distro? I'm on Debian testing.

Actually - if I just copy the file there, I get the weird ffwd/rew problem that was mentioned at the start of this thread.  If I convert it to a symbolic link, it fixes the issue (at least for me).  It doesn't even matter that the checksums of the files were exactly the same...

[mythtv-users] setup for channels that are not 24/7

2005-09-07 Thread Garry Cook

I've got an odd issue here. I record the West Wing on Bravo, channel 61 in my market. However, it's the Hallmark channel from some early morning hour until 5:30PM. Usually TWW is shown at 5 & 6PM, but sometimes it is shown for hours at a time (marathon). So, I want to be able to record at any time on any channel, but have this channel only record from 6PM to Midnight. How can I do this?

The localtime file is indeed essential to the correct functioning of Myth.

However I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be a link/symlink - this is a

I do Crestron programming and use serial ports everyday.  I found that

alot of stuff up.  I suspect linux doesn't have this problem though.


Thanks for that.

But of course I left out what kernel I was running, sorry! It is SUSE 
9.3 latest 2.6.11.4-20a kernel, which I guess already has the above 
fixes in. I'll try with the very latest kernel anyway, just in case 
something has been fixed...


This evening I tried to rmmod the pl2303 and the usbserial kernel 
modules and re-add them, but it didn't make any difference.


So, anyone know what's going on?

Failing that, does anyone know how I can simulate a physical removal of 
the USB device and a re-insert programmatically? That will at least mean 
I can record some TV! ;) I searched around the Internet, couldn't find 
any commands that could do it...

Re: [mythtv-users] WAF Emergency - FFwd not working smoothly, Commercial skip being a LITTLE flakey.

2005-09-07 Thread matt lutz

Michael,
 
I experienced the exact same ffwd/rwd problem for a while... I came upon a fix in the archives that was pretty peculiar, but it does work.  Check to see if your /etc/localtime file is a link or an actual file.  If it's a file, then delete it, link it with the proper file in /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.  Use the following commands:

 
rm /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime
 
obviously substitute the "EST5EDT" with whatever timezone you are actually in.  I haven't been able to find why this works, but it definately does for me.
 
As for the commercial skip... I have also noticed some incosistencies in what is a commercial and what is actual programming as well, and do not enable skipping anymore.

Sort-of. (You prob know this bit) You will have a use a simple script
(a channel-change script you can specify when setting up the card, or
later on) to get LIRC to control the IR blaster. You'll also need to
ensure you have the correct remote definitions file for your receiver,
and the correct numbers for each channel you want to record off of the
satellite box (not sure if US users are automatically setup for this).

Therefore, assuming the backend can change channels normally once this
is setup, and the frontend box is connected to the backend, the
channel changing happens completely transparently, both for recordings
and for LiveTV.

I think that is a great idea, I would rather see integration with

webstreams etc...  Shouldn't be too difficult.  Also the
ability to cycle backups on your harddrive for x days.  maybe have
options to only record during motion or things like that.  Could
be a great piece of software on its own but inside myth would be the

hey all, 

we have a wonderful software suite in MythTv.  it lets you
watch/record tv, watch videos, listen to music, even talk on the
phone!  how about a security plug-in?  MythSurveillance?
i know there are a couple ppl on the list that already have cameras
hooked to their MythBoxen and can view them on dedicated channels. 
but what about a plug-in that allowed you to watch multiple feeds at
once on a split screen?  or that cycled through your camera views when

this is more of a discussion than an 'itch'. :)  although, if i were
to scratch this 'itch', it would most likely be done in Java because i
can't remember a lick of C (and don't really care to).

if something like this were to be built what kind of hardware would you use?
what would you like to be able to do with it?
could Myth be used with USB Web-Cams?  this would most likely be like
watching videos as opposed to watching recordings.
can CCTV Cams be hooked up to capture cards that Myth uses?
any other camera suggestions that are small, have a range of 0' - 20'
minimum and may work at night?

if this is too OT feel free to smack me and kill this thread. ;)

On a similar note, NTL are also likely to be changing their channel

they may adopt TWs number scheme, which means we *may* end up with

Re: [mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding

2005-09-07 Thread Alex Brekken

Any chance a recording made on the master is trying to be transcoded by
the slave? (or vice-versa)  I've got a master/slave backend setup,
and I've noticed that often my transcoding jobs fail because  the
slave tries to process a recording that was made on the master. 
Looking at the backend logs on the slave, there's a mesage that states
something to the effect that "remote" transcoding is not allowed. 
(unlike commercial flagging, which can be done on any backend
regardless of where the recording was made)  Not sure if this is
what's happening in your case, but I've seen this bug quite
often.

You could try setting your debug level in the backend to verbose (-v) and if that doesn't give you any clues, try -v all.

Re: [mythtv-users] Extending aVolumeGroup

I think I understand that I need to extend the LV next then adjust the size of the LV. 
 
Since this is a JFS filesystem is the command to extend it correct? "# mount -o remount,resize /video" /video being the mount point for the VG.

You could try setting your debug level in the backend to verbose (-v) and if that doesn't give you any clues, try -v all.

I had similar problems: When I skip forward with PgDown (+10 min), The
display locks for maybe 10-20 seconds, then I get a couple of seconds
of square blocks, before clearing up. I guess it "clears up" when it
hits a key frame.
I guess the initial delay is due to MythTV not being able of navigating probably due to a corrupt recordedmarkup table.

I tried:

mysqlcheck --repair mythconverg recordedmarkup

and

mythcommflag --all

This solved the delay problem, but the square blocks problem is still
there and in addition I am not able to play these files via dsmyth 0.9
or 0.10 on Windows PCs.
In addition the problem reoccurs on all shows that I have recorded,
automatically transcoded, manually created a cutlist and cut with the
transcoder. Even after the repair of the mythconverg table (I have
repaired and rebuilt with mythcommflag --all twice now). Shows that are
before the last step does not have that problem, so it seems that the
recordedmarkup table is being corrupted during the cutting of the show.
I am running MythTV 0.18.1, so I should be uptodate I think.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on ?

[mythtv-users] A/V Sync issues in recorded programs from PVR-500/PVR-350

2005-09-07 Thread Brad Benson

For the past several weeks I've been getting A/V sync issues in some
(but not all) recordings from my myth box.  It was working great
for over a year with just a single 350 doing recording.  I added a
500 to the system and that was also functioning well for several
months.  Over that time I was using various versions of the ivtv
driver from 0.3.2 up through 0.3.6w.  I finally settled on running
0.3.6w and that was working for about 2-3 months with no
problems.  Suddenly, out of the blue one day, I noticed a few
recordings with A/V sync issues.  It appears that, at some random
point during the recording, a small piece of video is missing but the
audio is fine.  This causes the video to be slightly ahead of the
audio (anywhere from <1 to about 2 seconds).  At the time I
noticed this I hadn't made any recent changes to the system.

Since this started I have discovered that one of the tuners on the
PVR-500 is bad.  I got that card replaced by Hauppage and, as of
last week, installed the replacement 500.  I was hoping that maybe
the bad card had something to do with the issues I'm seeing, but last
night I found another recording with the exact same issue.  I need
to go through and check the log files when the recording is happening,
but it's been difficult to determine exactly when things were recorded
and on which tuner.  

I know I haven't provided much information as I'm not at home at the
moment, but I can provide any log files that might be helpful in
looking into this problem.  Has anyone seen similar sync issues on
recordings?  Oh, these are straight MPEG2 directly from the card,
no transcoding is being done, only commercial flagging.  Of the
8-12 recordings a day from my myth box I tend to see this problem on
anywhere from 0 to 3 or 4 of the shows.  I'm now running ivtv
0.3.8 and still seeing the exact same behavior.

Any insight anyone might have is greatly appreciated.

partialy true, it depends on how you open the file(s).
opening nuv file from samba share without checking "always open file
from backend" in setup will probably be a bit slow yes.

checking that box or using myth:// urls like the ones mythweb provieds
is probably going to be more smooth since that will use a small local
cache (ringbuffer) of the file.

note that i don't have any wierless network to test with, so i could be wrong.

true, idealy it should be integrated with the mediaplayer.
without help from the player this can cause problems for the mediaplayer.

yes. if i remeber correctly in v0.10 of the filters and mythtv 0.18
mpeg2 recordings don't update the length properly.
and after 0.18 was released there was some changes in how mpeg2 ps
files is created that made them not work with normal media players.
and now dvb recordings is going to use mpeg2 ts files.

playback of mpeg2 ts files will work in next version (seeking is not
finished yet)

Subject: [mythtv-users] Red Eye Serial problems with USB to Serial
converter

Hi,

I've been using a Red Eye Serial (www.redremote.co.uk) for a while now
with the Linux program on the download page to work with my Telewest
cable box, and it works very well! However, I have just bought a new
system without any serial ports and so bought a Manhattan USB to Serial
converter (a PL2003 device that I am using with SuSE 9.3 - it did say
something about "DEVPATH is not set" in the /var/log/messages file when
I plugged it in).

After plaugging in the RedEye and changing the device to /dev/ttyUSB0 I
can change channels on my Telewest box. ONCE. It only works once, and I
have no idea why. If I remove the USB adaptor and plug it back again, I
can change channel one more time.

Subsequent attempts to change channel still show the RedEye power being
applied as normal (from the red power light) but the light does not
pulse for the channels being sent like it normally does. It just stays
with power light for roughtly the same amount of time, and then
finishes. There are no errors emmitted by the program.

Has anybody had similar trouble, and perhaps knows how to fix this?

I was wondering if the program was not releasing the serial port
properly or something, though the source code looks to be doing so (bear
in mind that I do not know C). I guess I should be able to build a
script that "unplugs" the device via hotplug and reattaches it so the
channel changes work, but this is not really an ideal solution. ;)

Any help appreciated!

Like I said, just because you achieve 100 dpi (mine is nearly that) 
doesn't fix the problem with fonts.

hi,
 
you have to make a PV first, then extend the VG with that PV, and after that extend the LV. So the first 2 steps are in place, but before you can resize the filesystem you first have to resize the PV.

No, there's more wrong than that.  See, mine is set to that (or close 
enough)...


#  xdpyinfo |grep resolution

and still the fonts are very wrong.   Only solution I see is to correct 
the font sizes.

From the HOWTO:

10.2 Appearance
This set of screens is mostly concerned with how MythTV will look on your system. From here, you can choose different themes and set 
the resolution of your system


I do not think this is a big help to newcomers.
I also went the road of changing fontsizes, instead of setting the resolution 
to 100dpi. Mine still runs at 75dpi.

You won't need the Kyle-patch anymore if you're using sid. There's
already a new glibc in sid and everything works fine on debian64.

If you want to stay with sarge you won't need any additional patches

I will try rebuilding from source later today.

Interestingly running as sudo does not work either. Executing from apache 
transcode command write error to log:

(demux.c) Broken pipe.  

(i can post exact error later today, i am not by my box now)

when issuing "tccat | tcdemux | ..." stream. after this error it is working 
like mad (same 4 processes tccat, tcdecode, tcextract,
tcXXX) for another 10 minutes, and finishes - but with black thumbnails.

same transcode command being issued from terminal finishes almost instantly 
with correct thumbnail.



i have found following topis in transcode mailing list which match my problem 
perfectly:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/15172 - will try to 
contact author.

I think i can remeber that some time ago when i had problems with transcode i 
had to put LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 before call to
transcode. will try that too later today.
