[mythtv-users] vertical stripes from pvr-500, mail problems
Hi again, A couple of days ago I posted about vertical stripes over anything captured from my pvr-500. Unfortunately, my ISP chose that moment to pull the plug on their mail servers and go out of business, so nothing has been getting through between now and then. Can some kind soul see if there are any replies to the thread and forward them directly to me? Id really appreciate it! Thanks!

Re: [mythtv-users] Simplifying the instalation? (everyone wants that!) - ideas for thought

What about a Wizard configuration tool?... (for common configurations) Whilst I think this is probably a good idea, I have the worry that it will still rely on all of the many components that MythTV relies on being already configured and working before this wizard is run. If you scan through Jarod's Fedora guide, you'll see that setting up MythTV is a (comparatively) very small part of the HOWTO. The way I see things at the moment, I are about 3 types of typical user - the more 'hardcore' users who will compile everything by hand and not use package repos, those comfortable with Linux wanting to install MythTV quickly, and finally those who've never used either before but want to try, and will find it the most challenging. I think that for the first 2 groups, setting up a multi-system MythTV installation would be quite straightforward (aside from the odd hardware grumble) with documentation explaining the fundamental concepts, whereas the last group may be more suited to a premade MythTV install such as Knoppmyth or MythDora. Adding such a wizard to one of these installs may be useful. Nick ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Better think twice before choosing an FS especially for LVM
I have a question about RAID+LVM I honestly couldn't understand. I'm assuming you are using RAID5 or some other kind that can't be resized; what is the benefit of using an LVM on such? From what I read, the LVM would be set to md0 and if you wanted to add another drive you'd need to add a new md device, aka 3+ more drives and a lost drive's worth space. So, in this kind of case, is there any point of even using it? I just recently lost 250x4 in a RAID5 due to 1 drive failing and the filesystem on another drive getting completly corrupted. I'm still not sure what happened, but the SATA controller went poof and I think heat is to blame (my fault). I'm still at a loss as to what filesystem I should use, but was leaning twords XFS. Also just googling while writing this message I stumbled upon http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-raid@vger.kernel.org/msg01981.html , mentioning EVMS ( http://evms.sourceforge.net ). In particular it says it supports resizing RAID5, and it looks like you could do mdadm-EVMS(resize)-mdadm. I know nothing about this, has anyone used it before? It's still updated, while raidreconf doesn't appear to be.

It has the following hardware: ABIT IS7-V2 motherboard Hauppauge PVR-350 using the mpeg video out option Pentium IV 3.0 processor 512mb of ram The Myth install is the latest Knoppmyth release and I have been very happy with it except for two things. The freezes when hitting the FF or REW button really fast several times and when I turn on hyper threading it freezes after only a few minutes of displaying video. Reading the above thread it seems the hardware decoder that Hauppauge puts on these cards is rather whimpie. What I would like to know if anyone has a workaround? Is there anyway to throttle the throughput or some other hack other than just being sure to not be too aggressive hitting the buttons? I know there must be lots of setups hitting this problem. I would be interested to know of a motherboard/processor combo that does not have this problem as well. I have a X86_64 box running Suse, but I use that for work and would rather keep it that way, but if it would be more stable than the new P4 box I may switch them around.

[mythtv-users] MythPhone/ OT: usb/rj11 adapters
Hi, Dont know how OT this is, and havent even looked at MythPhone yet, but since the MythBox will be in the sitting room and permanently on, Id like to make it the hub of the our VOIP connection. Ideally I want to be able to use our existing analogue phones through Skype /SkypeOut and the conventional PSTN connection (which will still be cheaper that SkypeOut for national calls over 5 mins in length). Does anyone know which usb /rj11 adapters (rj11 internal and usb/rj11 external) will work under Linux? Ive done some searching but havent come up with anything concrete. The important thing is that the adapter has both usb (for VOIP connections) and rj11 (for pstn connections) on the external side and that calls can be placed through either of these using a standard analogue (dtmf) phone.

The option to rip a CD appears on two different menus on my 0.18.1 setup. If I remember right you can select Optical Disks on the main menu and then Rip CD. If I do this then the CDDB lookup doesn't work and all I see are the track lengths. Attempting to rip the CD causes the frontend to hang, (maybe because there is no title or track names ?) However, i discovered last night that there is a Rip CD option under the frontend setup menus as well. Select Setup from the Main Menu and then go to mythmusic I think, and there's a rip CD option there too( I could be wrong about the exact location but it's there somewhere, with the scan for music option) Once I select this menu then the CDDB lookup magically works and I successfully ripped the CD (once I'd given user mythtv permission to write to the mythmusic directory).

It reported some errors so I figured I would have to try again, probably with a newer version than the one urpmi gave me. I shutdown and this morning no X server running... no dm.. The error message points to an 'exec' failure and points to a file 'X' which is a symlink to a file 'Xorg' *which does not exist*(From memory - /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg...) At least it doesn't exist now..Otherwise the machine seems to work fine. Understand that it ran fine yesterday and I did not (at least knowingly) fiddle with anything to do with X... So. Any pointers on how to *quickly* recover? It appears that the Xserver is munged...I don't know where or how and I'm not sure I want to go spelunking too deeply in fear of breaking things worse. Worst case, I guess is to use this machine to find the correct URL then wget the X source rpms on the mythbox and then configure/make/make install, all in tty0...but I would like to avoid that if possible. It's hard enough to do when you DO have a graphical interface to work in! You could try reinstalling the RPM for X. You can first see what is wrong by using: rpm -V XFree86 This should tell you what files are missing or inconsistent with the XFree86 RPM package. If you used apt-get to install your packages and need to reinstall them, I believe you can use: apt-get --reinstall install XFree86 There are lots of XFree86 RPMs, so you might want to look over each of them. Use this to get a list: rpm -qa | grep XFree I hope this leads you in the right direction.

Re: [mythtv-users] Noise and whether to split the client and server
On 16/09/05, Mark Kundinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Noise is, of course, very subjective. My system is a very simple combo box (small form factor case, HDD, small CPU fans). My small apartment is not a quiet place though, near the kitchen and computer desk, windows usually open with some road noise. If either the fridge or my regular computer are on, then I cannot hear the mythbox at all. If they're box off, then I can hear it, but only when I'm not playing any TV or music. Incidentally, I'm using a seagate barracuda drive, which is pretty quiet, it's only noticeable during serious disk activity, like booting. The real killer is the *power supply* fan, which is not readily replaceable due to the proprietary case. But this means that if you were using the same system in a diskless config, it would be just as loud. So, the first step if you're looking to avoid noise, I'd start with a case with a quiet power supply, then work my way out. I can easily recommend Enermax PSUs, Zalman heatsink and fan coolers, and Seagate and Samsung Spinpoint hard drives when considering a quiet system with 'regular' components. A fanless video card and northbridge cooler are also good ideas. Nick ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Even if you aren't depending on the version and patches in the linux kernel that you have, this will happen. I created a patch for libcdaudio (which is the most likely culprit for the crash) and I believe that Axel was going to recreate RPMs for it. If you are not running Fedora, look in the archives for a subject something like FC4 cd ripping and you should find my patch. Also, How can I just play a CD? Thereis the option to play a DVD and play a VCD, but not play a CD. Did I miss something somewhere? You play a CD by going into music selection and selecting the checkbox for the CD device. There are multiple ways to do this - probably easiest is to go into mythmusic, play music, and then hit 3 to change your song selection. Coincidentally, if you're having the problem mentioned above as far as libcdaudio crashing your frontend, it's going to crash here too until you get libcdaudio patched. -Brian ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Does this assume that the single backend will be a frontend as well? If not, why have LIRC? I have 3 frontends and 1 (soon to be 2) backends, and none of them run LIRC, yet I've got full remote functionality. I used to run LIRC, but then it was only on the frontends. Is there any reason to run LIRC on a backend (no frontend) only machine? 3) minor deviations from (2) eg: lirc on frontend, (extra) tuner/s in frontend, If there is a (are) tuner(s)s in a frontend, this makes it either a slave backend or the master backend.

It has the following hardware: ABIT IS7-V2 motherboard Hauppauge PVR-350 using the mpeg video out option Pentium IV 3.0 processor 512mb of ram The Myth install is the latest Knoppmyth release and I have been very happy with it except for two things. The freezes when hitting the FF or REW button really fast several times and when I turn on hyper threading it freezes after only a few minutes of displaying video. Reading the above thread it seems the hardware decoder that Hauppauge puts on these cards is rather whimpie. What I would like to know if anyone has a workaround? Is there anyway to throttle the throughput or some other hack other than just being sure to not be too aggressive hitting the buttons? I know there must be lots of setups hitting this problem. I would be interested to know of a motherboard/processor combo that does not have this problem as well. I have a X86_64 box running Suse, but I use that for work and would rather keep it that way, but if it would be more stable than the new P4 box I may switch them around.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: One tuner on PVR-500 (was Re: PVR-500 configuration)
Good idea about testing it in Windows, I thought it just couldn't be one broken tuner out of two, I figured it had to be the whole card or nothing, but man was I wrong. Let me tell you, it is really killer living without my card for this long. I figured they'd have it right back to me, but of course they mailed it to the wrong address, and I wasn't able to get the UPS tracking number out of them until it had already been sent on its way back to NY (and I live in SoCal), so it'll be about a month without my card by the time it gets back. Having only one tuner I'd gotten quite adept at finding all of the odd, middle-of-the-night rerun times for shows, but I figured with the new season coming up here and the fact that the major networks hardly rerun their shows like cable ones do, I might as well get it RMA'd before it drives me nuts.

Re: [mythtv-users] Automatically load commercial skip list into cutlist?
Is it possible to load the commercial skip list into the cutlist automatically after a show finishes commercial detection? I record several shows that the commercial detection works very well on and would like for the cutlist to be created automatically for those shows. Any ideas? You could create a User Job something like this: mythcommflag --chanid %CHANID% --starttime %STARTTIME% --gencutlist and then turn on that User Job for the shows that it works well on. This would automatically copy the commercial skip list to the cutlist after flagging finishes (since User Jobs are run after the builtin mythcommflag and mythtranscode jobs). -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] frontend on windows XP
A few suggestions... 1. Knoppmyth. Just document what ip addresses and other settings need to be changed. Inconvenient, but easily the least expensive. I'll second this, but with one caveat: you have to make sure that your Knoppmyth disc is the same Myth version as your BE or else you'll get db connection errors. snip 3. Ditch Windows. My kids use KDE on one of the myth frontends. It was a little difficult for the first few weeks, but they have adjusted fine and are able to do anything any of thier friends can do. The usb drive my 10 year old uses for school loads up fine from the windows box at school to the linux box at home. Paul I'll second this as well. It may seem impossible at first but there's really nothing outside of games on MS Windows that a good Linux system can't do (except maybe trojans, viruses, and DRM), and an awful lot on Linux that MS can't or won't do (generating pdfs, managing separate network interfaces and subnets, customizing, tweaking, scripting, logging, going months without a reboot, etc). When I first built a Myth box about as year and a half ago, I was also looking for a way to make it work with my MS XP laptop. It didn't, at least not well, and was generally a pain. I ended up installing FC3 and making it dual-boot, which solved all the Myth problems. It also means that I've been using MS a lot less as time has gone on, and don't really miss it at all (though I must admit I do still boot to MS from time to time to play Railroad Tycoon). I guess the answer is that you can probably get some of the funtionality of Myth on MS Windows, but it's easier in the short-run to set up a dual boot or Linux-only system as a frontend, and better in the long-run for all of us -- as the Linux user base increases, so do the number and quality of apps, the level of hardware support from vendors, and the speed with which improvements are made and incorporated. Also, it's a common misconception that computers in general and Linux in particular are difficult for kids. This couldn't be further from the truth -- just remember when you were young and were the only one in your house that could figure out how to program the VCR. Give a kid MS Windows, and he'll (or she'll) learn how to point and click. Give a kid Linux and he'll learn how computers work. Don't give them the root password and there's only so much they can screw up. Can't say that about XP.

I dunno the specifics of exactly what's happening under the hood on my TV, but I get absolutely zero interlace artifacts on 1080i content. I do see some minor interlace artifacts on 480i stuff, but only upon very close inspection (nose near the screen), and even then, they aren't bad.

Re: [mythtv-users] Are there any docs that describe the split between mythfrontend and mythbackend?
Thank you for clarifying this. I don't use MythMusic or MythVideo at this time. I do use mythgallery so will need to setup NFS for that. I am also considering setting up NFS for the recordings directory since I have a TB of space on the master backend system. As I understand this now the NFS for recordings is not required but allows one to keep all the recordings on one system. Here is a simplified version of how this works: the backend manages tuners and recordings through MySQL. When a FE connects to a BE to play live TV or a recording, it streams the picture, meaning the BE plays it, the FE displays it. When a FE plays a file through MythVideo or MythMusic, the FE does the playing and the displaying, as the file is mounted locally as NFS (or just a local directory). The recording directory is set up on the BE; The Mythvideo, Music, Gallery, etc directories are set up on the FEs. Mounting your recordings directory as NFS will allow you to access and manipulate the files over a network, but does not affect how those files are dealt with in Myth. I imagine that messing around with the recordings files over NFS could also screw with the MySQL tables, or at least confuse it when it can't find a file where it should be, but I don't really know that much about it. For example, let's say you've got a bunch of Simpsons episodes that you've recorded in MythTV. If the directory is shared as NFS, you can access the directory from a remote machine and play the files locally without using Myth FE (assuming the local machine can play back the .nuvs). But if you take some Simpsons that came from somewhere else and tried to copy them into the recordings directory with NFS, they won't show up in the Play Recordings directory inside of Myth FE, because there's no MySQL entry for them (at least that's how I understand it). Here's the way I've got my rig set up: a combined FE/BE that sits next to the main TV and stores everything on two 250GB drives (with a 20GB drive for OS, MythTV and ring buffer). I've also got two remote FEs which are full systems (meaning they're also used for non-Myth purposes) but which don't have any Myth storage. Each FE has the BE's /mnt/media/video (for MythVideo), /mnt/media/music (for MythMusic), and /mnt/media/photos directories mounted as NFS. It's been a while since I set this all up, but I think I made the recordings directory its own partition, which is not NFS since it's not necessary. The BE will put the recordings wherever you ask it to, but it must be a single directory. If your TB of storage is on the BE, there's no need for NFS. If your storage is on another machine, you can use NFS to have the backend write recordings to a remote volume. But if that TB of storage is split across different machines, I don't know of any way to use multiple volumes at the same time to store and playback. The only other real advantage I could see to making recordings an NFS is that you could take the recording out of Myth, edit it or transcode or whatever on a different machine, and then put it into MythVideo. Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It's been a while since I set this all up, but I think I made the recordings directory its own partition, which is not NFS since it's not necessary. The BE will put the recordings wherever you ask it to, but it must be a single directory. If your TB of storage is on the BE, there's no need for NFS. If your storage is on another machine, you can use NFS to have the backend write recordings to a remote volume. But if that TB of storage is split across different machines, I don't know of any way to use multiple volumes at the same time to store and playback. The only other real advantage I could see to making recordings an NFS is that you could take the recording out of Myth, edit it or transcode or whatever on a different machine, and then put it into MythVideo. Anyway, hope this helps. I think that helped a lot. Thank you. The master backend has four 300GB drives which I have configured to provide a 1TB /video file system for the recordings. I am in the process of setting up a slave backend which is where my lack of knowledge was an issue. As I currently understand it a slave backend will store shows it records on its own drives unless the master backend video drives are mounted via NFS on the slave backend. Front end systems based on your description will request the show to be displayed and will stream that show from which ever backend has that show. If I do NFS mount the storage from the master backend I suspect those shows recorded by the slave backend will get routed through the salve backend to which ever front end requested such a show. The database that will be used will reside on the master backend which will track all of this. Hopefully that is correct. :) Thanks for the help. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] emu10k1 unable to capture?
Hello! I am having quite the time here trying to configure an SB Live to capture within Myth. I know this is not indicative of anything, but with tvtime, TV sounds just fine. I have every volume up in the playback screen in alsamixer, and have switched around every capture device, yet nothing gets played back from within myth. The audio is patched to the Line-In on the soundcard by an 1/8|3.5mm stereo audio cable. I've also tried Mic with no luck. The capture card does not have it's own audio capturing mechanism.

Paul I'll second this as well. It may seem impossible at first but there's really nothing outside of games on MS Windows that a good Linux system can't do (except maybe trojans, viruses, and DRM), and an awful lot on Linux that MS can't or won't do (generating pdfs, managing separate network interfaces and subnets, customizing, tweaking, scripting, logging, going months without a reboot, etc). When I first built a Myth box about as year and a half ago, I was also looking for a way to make it work with my MS XP laptop. It didn't, at least not well, and was generally a pain. I ended up installing FC3 and making it dual-boot, which solved all the Myth problems. It also means that I've been using MS a lot less as time has gone on, and don't really miss it at all (though I must admit I do still boot to MS from time to time to play Railroad Tycoon). I guess the answer is that you can probably get some of the funtionality of Myth on MS Windows, but it's easier in the short-run to set up a dual boot or Linux-only system as a frontend, and better in the long-run for all of us -- as the Linux user base increases, so do the number and quality of apps, the level of hardware support from vendors, and the speed with which improvements are made and incorporated. Also, it's a common misconception that computers in general and Linux in particular are difficult for kids. This couldn't be further from the truth -- just remember when you were young and were the only one in your house that could figure out how to program the VCR. Give a kid MS Windows, and he'll (or she'll) learn how to point and click. Give a kid Linux and he'll learn how computers work. Don't give them the root password and there's only so much they can screw up. Can't say that about XP.

Mpeg2, arguably, requires the least amount of cpu to display because there is very little to decompress like mpeg4. So, while mpeg4 takes up less space, it takes more oooph to play it. The HD TV stream (I think mpeg-ts?) is just plain old lots of information. The nVidia cards are nice because they support hardware acceleration on the output end, while the pvr-x50 does the acceleration on the input end.

Where HDTV and digital broadcasts are concerned the backend actually doesn't do nearly as much work as you would imagine. Granted to managed the capture hardware, storage, database, recordings, etc, etc, etc. BUT, the video it is capturing is already compressed and in a usable form so it does very little processing (unlike standard definition analogue signals which it needs to compress into MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or something similar) just moving and storing data. With HDTV the front end has to decompress a very large amount of data, if the backend was to do this then you would need to send *massive* amounts of data over the network (1920 x 1080 x 24bit x 25 frames a second) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Sweet! PC HD3000 QAM_256 working, now about importing those channels?
From: Brian McEntire [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd heard rumors that PC HD3000 cards could receive clear QAM. I can confirm. Mine is working well. I had to grab the latest dvb-apps Cool. It found many more but most are probably the encrypted QAM variety. After testing them by tuning with azap and then cat'ing and mplaying the (below), There's an easier way. If your mplayer is compiled with dvb, you can put channels.conf in your ~/.mplayer directory and do: mplayer dvb://channelname I found the four I expected to be clear QAM and threw out the rest. NBC:56100:QAM_256:16:17:1 ABC:56100:QAM_256:144:145:3 CBS:56700:QAM_256:16:17:1 FOX:56700:QAM_256:144:145:3 Those look like broadcast channels. Your cable operator should transmit the PSIP data for them so that you shouldn't have to rename them to something more user friendly. If there's no PSIP data, then something is wrong. Now the question... Has anyone figured out how to import these channels into MythTV? I'm running 0.18.1. Inside of mythtv-setup, the only channel scan setup options seem to be ATSC or Cable. I tried cable but it doesn't find these channels even though the newer versions of dvb-apps find channels while scanning. (Not too suprising.) If there's PSIP data, you shouldn't have to. mythtvsetup should pick them up automagically. I see there is a manual way to add channels, and since I only have 4, that would be fine, but is there a way to find out the zap2it XMLTV ID? Go to labs.zap2it.com, add those channels to your lineup and do a mythfilldatabase. It should show up in your channel table where you can go poke for it. In the past, I bypassed xmltvid and went to mythweb-settings-channels and set the freqid to zap2it's cable channel number but I don't know if it still works the latest svn code. Also, you never know what you'll find unencrypted. Attached is a script I wrote that does the scan for me. On my system, it takes about 12 mins to scan the frequencies and another 20 or so to capture streams and test all the pids. -Dennis __ Yahoo!

Great information! Thanks.So, it's a processor intensive operation and requires some type of video out allowing for the connection between FE and TV in a HD format? Can this be done on a diskless system? If the BE does the recording (HD-3000) and the front end does the displaying is that stream compressed as it travels the network?

Just need a good CPU (and perhaps video card) to do the work of decoding. If the BE does the recording (HD-3000) and the front end does the displaying is that stream compressed as it travels the network? Yes. It /has/ to be compressed. Here's why: Given that: 1 GiB = 1024MiB = 1048576 KiB = 1073741824 bytes (see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html ) 1Mb = 1000 Kb = 100 bits Standard definition recordings in MPEG-2 format require about 1.25GiB/hr (3Mb/sec) including audio up to a max of 4.25GiB/hr (10.08Mb/sec) at the maximum allowed bitrate for DVD's. MPEG-4 recordings can, in theory, give the same quality as MPEG-2 with half the bitrate. Uncompressed standard definition video will take much more space. Assuming 720x480 pixels interlaced recording using a 16-bit/pixel uncompressed format (like YUV or YUV2), a one-hour recording wuold take 70GiB/hr (166Mb/sec) and a 24-bit/pix format (like RGB24) would take about 105GiB/hr (~250Mb/sec) not including audio. So, even standard definition TV, when uncompressed, would require more network bandwidth than most people have--it would even be pushing the limits of gigabit ethernet. 1080i60 video has exactly 6 times the pixels (=6 times the data requirements) of 720x480i60, meaning that 1080i60 would require 420GiB/hr (996Mb/sec) at 16-bits/pixel or about 630GiB/hr (1500Mb/sec). 720p60 has almost 5.2 times the pixels of 720x480i60, so it requires basically the same bandwidth as 1080i60. When compressed with MPEG-2, these 1080i60/720p60 recordings will take between 4GiB/hr and 10GiB/hr. Assuming an average of about 7GiB/hr, that's about 16.8Mb/sec, or a max of 10GiB, that's about 24Mb/sec. I guess what I'm asking is can a wireless connection handle HD or does it have to be wired? You'll have to make the call based on your network performance and the above numbers, but you're likely to get much better results with a wired connection--especially when using high definition.
