Hmmm. I do not have this file.

I wonder if that means that lircd is not working after all? It seems strange
that I can get some limited function with irw if I use the conf file that I
record with irrecord.

Yes, that seemed odd to me too.  I thought mythfilldatabase, would do 
just that, fill it with data, but it seems to create channels too

A couple of things I think would be cool is:

manually flagging a commercial, have the ability to insert chapters

Maybe these are things we could work towards in the future.

Nobody has any ideas? I don't even know where to start looking. I feel
I've checked every possible setting I could find. I don't even know
how MythTV knows where to play the recorded files. Is there someplace
to tell it to use /dev/fb1 instead of /dev/fb0 when playing back

## This has been brought up before and currently Myth isn't designed to

## table with a starttime of 1 minute after the original recording and
## a subtitle with " (TRANSCODED)" appended to the original subtitle.  The
## AutoExpire field is turned ON for the transcoded copy.  All other fields
## remain the same.  The new recording is treated as a separate recording,
## there is no link to the original recording, so you have to delete
## both of them independently.  I turned AutoExpire ON by default on
## the transcoded copy to try to insure the hard drive doesn't fill up
## with the transcoded copies.
## 
## You would run this script as a User Job from the JobQueue like this (all
## on one line):
## 
## myth_make_transcoded_copy.pl -c %CHANID% -s %STARTTIME% --dir %DIR% 
## --file %FILE% 
## 
## A couple optional args are things like: 
## 
## --recgroup 'Transcoded'(create the new recording in a
## recording group called "Transcoded"
## otherwise leave it in the same group)
## --noautoexpire (turn OFF autoexpire on the new
## copy of the recording since it defaults
## to ON).
## --beforeorig   (set starttime of new recording to 1
## minute BEFORE the original, in case
## you have autoexpire turned on on both
## the original and copy, the copy will
## then expire first since will be older)
## --rebuild  (build the seektable in the database
## for the new recording.  This shouldn't
## be necessary for MPEG4 recordings since
## they have a seektable in the file)
## 
## Additional help is available by typing "myth_make_transcoded_copy.pl -h".

For now, you could rely on the fact thay Myth opens the output file
with the following options:  O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE.

So, in your user job, you should be able to create a link and trick
mythtranscode to writing to your local disk.

ln -s /mnt/video/chanid_startname.nuv 
/var/lib/mythtv/mythtv/chanid_starttime.mpg.tmp

Then when you're done, delete the
/var/lib/mythtv/mythtv/chanid_starttime.mpg.tmp link.  I think that will work
without touching /mnt/video/chanid_startname.nuv first, but you might
try that if mythtranscode fails.

I've attached a short script I wrote once as a sort of proof of concept.
The attached script will make a transcoded "copy" of the recording in
the database for you.  The new recording will have a starttime of
1 minute after the original and will have "(TRANSCODED)" appended to
the subtitle.  You could easily hack this script to do the link for
you as well as set the hostname to the hostname of your slave backend.
You probably would have to do something about the filename also since this
was written before the .mpg extensions were added unless you don't mind
your transcoded .mpg file still having a .mpg extension.

Eyal Lebedinsky wrote:


Here in Canberra I had to change

to

Yes, I noticed this after that last update; it's very annoying that they 
change the column headers...


I've updated the script to version 1.44; this one takes the channel 
names in the config file, eg "Prime Southern", and *matches* against the 
column header from the web page to determine the appropriate column for 
that channel. So, "Prime Southern", being a substring of "PRIME 
SOUTHERN, CANBERRA, WOLLONGONG, STH COAST" still matches this column.


Hence, with this new script the above change is unnecessary.

The names are used as regular expressions in the match (case ignored), 
so you could easily modify the config file to make it reasonably 
resilient to changes in the web page channel names (eg, replace 
'southern cross ten capital' with 'ten' or 'capital' etc).

[mythtv-users] Need help with custom mythtranscode User Job

2005-11-14 Thread Joseph A. Caputo

Okay, so I've decided to set up my main PC as a slave backend w/no 
tuners.  What I want to do is set up a User Job to transcode selected 
programs down to 352x240 MPEG-4 and save them on the slave's local disk 
so I can watch them over a VPN at a remote location.  Here's my setup:


Master BE/FE:
Video storage dir:/var/lib/mythtv/mythtv (local)

Slave BE:
Video storage dir:/mnt/video (local)
Other: /var/lib/mythtv/mythtv (NFS mounted from Master)


What I want to do is use mythtranscode on the Slave to transcode from 
/var/lib/mythtv/mythtv and write the output to its local video storage 
dir (/mnt/video).  The problem is the following:


If I give mythtranscode the input filename, it tries to write the output 
to the same director (the NFS mount).  This is an 802.11b link and I 
want to avoid both reading & writing to the NFS mount.  I want the 
output to reside locally on the slave.


Next, I tried changing the mount point of the NFS mount, think the file 
could then be streamed and transcoded into the local video storage 
directory.  But here I get the message "Mythtranscode is currently 
unable to transcode remote files.".


So, any suggestions on how to proceed?  I suppose I could patch 
mythtranscode to take an output parameter...


TIA,

For my particular remote (the older Grey and Black one) the FC3 page on
Jarod's site talks about using a file called : 

/usr/share/doc/ivtv-*/lircd-g.conf

I believe that this is the file I originally had working but for some reason
I don't have it now. If I cd to /usr/share/doc/ivtv-* I end up in
/usr/share/doc/ivtv-0.4.0 but there is no lircd-g.conf there.

[mythtv-users] Feature request: live tv "Browse" Mode via seperate key bindings

2005-11-14 Thread Edward Rosinzonsky

I apollogize if this is already implemented in SVN, as I'm running 18.1.
 
It woud be really nice, to (while watching live tv) change channels in Browse mode or "classic" mode, with seperate key bindings.  I would like to change channels with the Ch+/Ch- keys on my remote, or browse them with the Up/Down keys.

I copied this file you sent over to /etc/lircd.conf (Used Ultraedit from my

irw returns nothing on any button press now. Restarts of lircd with

Does lircd have a log file? I've not been able to find one so far.

Any plans to make it easy to import a bunch of videos this way? I guess I
am talking about another manual record option that lets you input show
info like title, actors, descriptions, etc. I know you can do this today
with above and then editing mysql, but it would be nice to have a VCR
input you could just start and stop via myth and enter all the show info.

It's not right.  Myth usually uses the machines FQDN as the hostname
value in the settings table.  There's a setting in the initial setup
page that allows you to indicate that you want to use a specific  
client

name.  It's intended as a way of working around dynamic hostnames for
DHCP clients, but can also be used to force a shorter hostname.
Really, all you need is a unique identifier.

When you specified the backend as your hostname, all you really did  
was

piggy-back on the existing configuration from the last time the
mythfrontend software was run on the backend.  Down that path lies
madness.


Should I delete
all the hostname="my laptop hostname" settings from the database?  Is
there a way to reset it, or should I do it manually? (This seems to
suggest that I shouldn't alter the database directly: http://

The rule about never touching the database is more concerned with how
the backend tracks the recordings.  It shouldn't hurt to clean out the
settings table manually.  Just make sure you only delete the frontend
settings (the ones that have a hostname) and leave the backend  
settings

(the ones with no hostname) alone.


This was the key.  My MasterServerIP was set with a hostname (the  
hostname of the backend), once I made the hostname NULL for the  
MasterServerIP everything works fine.  I deleted all the entries for  
my laptop, and the ~/.mythtv folder, and restarted the  
MythFrontend.app, this time everything worked as expected; once I  
specified the database location and the language I was able to  
control Myth fine.  Checking the database showed that the entries  
under my laptops FQDN were fine.


To re-confirm I changed the hostname for the MasterServerIP back to  
quahog and the behaviour returned to the original frustrations.  Can  
anyone confirm that the MasterServerIP ought to have NULL as  
hostname?  If that is the case then I'll investigate mythtv-setup on

[mythtv-users] Libmpeg and weird colors

2005-11-14 Thread Robert Lundy

Have been suprised with how well my P4M 1.6ghz laptop has been doing as
a frontend, considering its got ATI graphics, meaning no xvmc. 
Compared to my AMD athlon 3200, which plays HD choppily without xvmc,
the results have been awesome.  Why are these intel chips so much
better?

Anyway, to get the smooth(er) playback, I started using libmpeg-but the
colors are almost like a negative-people are green, pizza looked
blue.  Weird.

Is this typical behavior?  I'm thinking its reading something
strange about the colorspace.  Video is the Radeon mobility M300
PCIe in a Dell inspiron 9300, using the newest ATI proprietary driver
(released 11/11/05?).

What exactly are you seeing when you launch the frontend?  Does it ask
you for your language and settings, or does it fail immediately?


If I delete the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file then it asks for language  
and IP and saves the file (with 192.168.10.10 written in there, and  
in the database).  It then restarts and seeks localhost:6543 which is  
where it fails.



Are you updating the correct mysql.txt file?  MythTV installs several
copies for use at different times.

On my back-end machine I have:
/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt

On the front-ends I have both of the above PLUS:
/home/live/.mythtv/mysql.txt (on the XBox)
/home/chris/.mythtv/mysql.txt (on the desktop)


[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql.txt
/Users/james/.mythtv/mysql.txt

So just one.


Different MythTV applications read different mysql.txt files and they
all have to agree.

Other things to consider:

When you updated your mythconverg access permissions to enable remote
frontends did you specify a particular machine?  If so, then you'll  
have

to massage the permissions every time you add a machine or change the
hostname or IP address (depending on which was specified).  You can
check the access rights my connecting to the mysql database (as  
opposed

to mythconverg) and running:
select * from db;
select * from host;
select * from tables_priv;
If you are on a trusted network (ie: no foreign machines can see your
MySQL port) then the easiest way to configure remote access is to
specify "%" as the hostname so that any client can get it in as  
long as

it has the right password.


I can access (and edit) the mythconverg database from the frontend  
computer using the username and password in the mysql.txt file.






I can access the database fine from this machine (although it was  
definitely worth checking ;) but the frontend isn't attempting that  
yet ...


I ssh'd into my backend box and tailed the /var/log/mysql/mysql.log  
and I could see the mythfrontend.app making queries on the database,  
so it is definitely talking to the database, it was just getting  
wrong information ...


It was asking for config where the  
hostname="MinistryOfInformation.local" which is indeed my laptop.  As  
an experiment I changed the "LocalHostName" in mysql.txt to "quahog"  
which is the hostname of my backend.  Now the frontend seems to  
communicate fine, the right theme comes up. I finally found a binary  
that speaks protocol 18:http://willamette.edu/~gkruse/myth/ 
MythFrontend-SVN-7004-With-Plugins.dmg


So now the question is how does the hostname stuff work, the  
LocalHostName=backendname hack doesn't feel right.  Should I delete

On the front-end machine go to "Utilities/Setup", "Setup", "TV
Settings", "Recording Priorities", "Set Recording Priorities" and enable
the "Reschedule Higher Priorities" check-box.

If you don't, then high priority means "record this show as soon as
possible no matter what else I miss".  With rescheduling enabled, high
priority will only bump shows if there is no possible way to record
both.

Before one of the scheduling gurus gives the proper reasons, I would
infer that as the priority of prog A is higher, this takes precedence
even though it is repeated later and stops the recording of B.

What are the results if you increase the priority of B to be the same
as A? As long as both channels have the same priority, the scheduler
should (I would hope) notice that prog A is repeated and then schedule
the way you were expecting.

*For the archive*

When setting up xine for AC3 pass through on a frontend, I just needed
to specify Pass Through as the speaker setup. The AC3 device default
is iec958, which worked perfectly on my system (my default ALSA setup
uses the mixed-digital device). Any non-AC3 material drops back to
PCM, which the AV receiver plays normally (I guess this is the
equivalent of the hwac3, used for mplayer on the command line)

I still get annoying skips when using MythMusic where tracks randomly
skip forward without any interaction, but I haven't gotten around to
seeing if this is S/PDIF related or MythMusic related.

It's not in 0.18.1-5, but there are other ways to do it.  Simply create
additional recording profiles that use the same resolution, etc. as your
normal profiles but have auto-transcode enabled.  Then you can assign a
tv series to that profile.  When you find one you don't want transcoded,
select it from the "upcoming recordings" list and "add override".  You
can then specify an alternate recording profile (without transcoding)
that applies to that episode only.

Definitely possible, I'm doing it now. But, you could just use NFS and
mount the remote filesystems all onto one master backend. It would
probably be a bit easier that way, in terms of administration (just need
NFS on the slaves, as opposed to many MythTV backends) and you only have
to set it up once. Then the master just streams the files out to the
clients. I personally have a master backend, a slave backend, and a
separate NFS server that serves just videos, and any client can watch
the videos.

I will run front ends on the macs and my xbox.
  


The thing is I don't have all my recordings on one machine - they are
spread across three machines. And I want to keep diffrent material on
each machine - one for TV series, one for films, and one for err...
stuff that hasn't come out yet! lol
  
I realize that. What I proposed is to export the filesystems on each of 
the 3 machines that have content, and then mount them onto the master 
backend. For instance, my master BE has 120GB of local disk that I use 
for TV recording, and I have an NFS server with 250GB of RAID5 disk that 
stores movies, videos, DVD images, etc. I mount the NFS disk in the 
appropriate place, and now I can share that to the front ends. What you 
could have is something like the following mountpoints on the master BE:


/myth/video/machine1
/myth/video/machine2
/myth/video/machine3

and configure the master BE to have /myth/video as the Video path in the 
MythTV setup. Then it will just recursively find all videos on the three 
nfs servers.


Make sense?

[mythtv-users] Watching Recordings on TV instead of PC Monitor

It appears now I have hit another new problem I can't seem to figure out.

I have the PVR350 card with DirecTV going to the tuner of the card. I
have recorded several shows. When I go to play them back (Media
Library -> Watch Recordings) it plays it back to my PC monitor instead
of the TV. I have the options setup under Utilities/Setup -> Setup ->
TV Settings -> Playback to use the PVR350's TV out / MPEG decoder. The
device is set to /dev/video16 and I have the TV audio through PVR350
only box selected (I can use the TV remote to adjust the volume). I
also have the Enable OpenGL vertical sync for timing box selected. As
I understood it, that is all I needed in order to watch my recordings
on the TV. But for some reason it isn't working. It is playing them on
my PC monitor.

When I go to Watch TV, it plays it on the TV just fine. This only
happens when I want to play back my recorded shows.

At one point this worked because I watched one show when I first got
everything setup. But now for some reason it isn't working. I'm
wondering if something kicked in when I rebooted that made it stop
working. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it back playing on
the TV screen?

My DirecTV input is going to the tuner of the card. That part is
working just fine. I just wasn't sure how to set it up so I could
record off my VCR. I have a bunch of tapes of when my kids were little
that I want to record off the VCR tapes and burn to DVD so they aren't
lost (VCR tapes seem to decay fairly fast). So it looks like I can
just do the setup as Mercury described. I'll give that a try.

As long as the material was recorded by MythTV. External content on

If your DirecTV input is going into the tuner of the card, you should
be able to simply create another video source (using the composite
input and audio inputs on the back of the card) for your VCR as
Mercury has detailed in the thread.

However, if you are using multiple direct inputs (e.g. composite
and/or S-Video) it may be easier and 'cleaner' to get Hauppauge's
additional input connections backplate. This connects to your PVR card
and provides a second set of recordable inputs so you can leave
another device plugged in. You can still only record one source at a
time (the 350 has only one encoder) but you can switch between inputs
easily once they are correctly defined in input connections.

Thanks for the reply.
I think you're correct re the tv_grab_dvb output. The XML file doesn't contain 
anything relating to the channel frequencies etc.
I can't for the life of me find anything in the setup to allow a channels.conf 
to be imported however :S

I normally have to use "-ao alsa -ac hwac3," for my ac3 tracked recordings to 
output in AC3. In fact, since this is the default action for my use of 
mplayer for any recordings (the comma after hwac3 allows it to fall back to 
pcm for non-AC3 tracks), I placed them in my ~/.mplayer/config as:
ao=alsa
ac=hwac3, 

make sure to leave a space after the comma, at first it didn't work for me, on 
a whim I put an extra space on the line and it worked.

the only disclaimer is I have yet to try playing a DVD specificly, but I 
figure an AC3 5.1 track is an AC3 5.1 track no matter where it comes from

[mythtv-users] Announce: Myth EPG Searching Utility

2005-11-14 Thread Neil

Hi All,

I've just finished coding up a little Java utility that allows you to
create and store a list of words or phrases of things that you would
normally be interested in watching. You can then search the EPG, and any
program that contains any of your phrases in either the title, subtitle
or description will be displayed. It then allows you to add any of these
to the recording schedule.

At the moment its very similar to the TVWish application, but I am
planning on extending it to allow more sophisticated searching, and
ultimately to allow it to recommend programs based on ones you have
previously recorded.

If you'd like to have a look, you can download it from:

http://www.neilchinnery.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Please let me have your (constructive ;-) criticisms. Any suggestions or
bug reports appreciated.

Thanks

Neil

Well, I got it working. How? I dunno...
Two things I did,
1) update some DVB stuff from unstable
2) I thought maybe some header files needed by mplayer, etc. are wrong in the 
kernel headers. What I did was download the 2.0 drivers from pchdtv.com and 
ran make. I got some weird error, but figured, well I know the drivers I have 
work, so I ran make install anyway to see if some other changes needed to be 
made

One of these things must have done it (since I forgot to do an mplayer compile 
after #1). 

So, now I'm going to reformat to see which step was required. Hopefully its 
just grabbing some of those files from unstable.

I've tried doing some searches through the mailing list and haven'treally come up with a good answer. Maybe I'm just not doing the rightsearches. I don't know. But I would appreciate any help anyone could
give me on this.
I have a PVR350, too. In mythtv-setup, I found Composite 0 corresponded to the composite inputs on the card.

The following may be incomplete, it's from my notes of October 2004 - thirteen months ago.

In mythtv-setup, I defined a Video Source called VCR, but DID NOT try
to get any lineups for it. Then, in Input Connections, I assigned
VCR to Composite 0. I left the Start Channel blank there.

Then, in Channel Editor, I defined a new channel with the Channel Name
of WVCR, assigning the Video Source to VCR. I gave it a unique
Call Sign..., something like MYVCR - don't remember now.

While watching TV on the PVR350, I just hit the "c" key to change inputs on the card and watch what's playing on the VCR.

To record from the VCR, I use manual scheduling. It's not too
hard to play a tape on the VCR just before or after the scheduled
recording starts.

Sorry for the incompleteness, but a little experimenting should get you
closer to being able to have the VCR be "just another channel",
so-to-speak.

Good Luck!

The problem is that I will randomly lose sound on one of my tuners

Mythbackend takes about 35-30% to record a 480x480 stream.  It seems to

First thing is to make sure you have xv working (type 'xvinfo' at the

to decode than MPEG2 which is how they offer better compression
ratios.

Nick, Thanks for your response, so you get 3-4% usage by X playing a 
resolution way higher than the ones I'm using (480x480).  Ok, something 
is definitely wrong on my system.  The odd thing is that xvinfo does 
give me meaningful output (I can't rerun it to show the output because 
I'm at work now).  I ran it last night after beginning to suspect that 
my adaptor didn't support xv.  If I understand it correctly, the output 
of xvinfo should show your adaptor name if it is supported, along with a 
long list of features and specifications the adaptor can use for xv.  
When I ran the xvinfo, I did get the name of graphics card (9600pro) 
showing as the first (and only) supported adaptor installed, then there 
were many lines about this or that special feature or extension 
supported.  So, it would seem that I have XV extensions capable of being 
run at least, perhaps the video player in myth is somehow not using the 
extensions at all and everything is being done by the processor?  I'm 
not sure how to do it; is there a way to specifically say "output 
accelerated video using XV extensions" when viewing the video in 
mythfrontend?
In your system, does your fglrx driver have the hardware opengl support 
also installed?  On mine, fglrx installed and the modules load no 
problem , but it will only use Mesa for opengl, it won't use hardware 
acceleration.  Maybe that's part of the problem and xv only works if you 
have opengl acceleration working also. This is all using RTJPEG straight 
from the software encoded video; but if I understand correctly X should 
use the same amount of processor time for any format on the same 
resolution, and mythfrontend will take more or less as it does the 
decoding.  Thanks for any help/suggestions.

need to firstly run modinfo on the modules relevant to your card
that will tell you what parameters the module takes. In general
it will be

modprobe  debug=1 

or a higher value that 1.
Load them from the most basic one first up to the highest level

that someone can help me with, cause I've run out of ideas.


The problem is that I will randomly lose sound on one of my tuners 
(PVR-150) and I cannot get it back until I reboot.  So far, it seems 
to happen on a specific tuner, but as it is Tuner0 and it records most 
of my shows, that could just be a coincidence.


I have tried the ivtv-0.4 drivers via portage, and from ivtv's SVN, 
but that hasn't helped and as far as I can tell, I am using the latest 
firmware.  I have also followed the troubleshooting page on 
ivtvdriver.org.


I don't want to flood the list with pages of configs and logs, so I 
have posted everything that I think is relevant on my website, here: 
http://www.akvalentine.com/Members/anthony


If I have left something out, please let me know and I'll post it ASAP.

Thanks for your help!

don't have an answer but just fyi, I have the same problem  - you may 
want to keep an eye on the thread "no sound new pvr150" in the ivtv-uses 
forum at ivtvdriver.org started I believe on nov 12. I also have a 2 
card setup losing sound on the first card.  that thread has some steps 
you can take - I'm just waiting right now for it to occur again so I can 
compare output from ivtvctl commands - for some reason it hasn't 
happened in awhile  and normally it happens within a few hours of use.

I seem to recall similar questions about this kind of problem -
checking the archives may be of help:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/

Your card seems to be a BT878 card, so the following may help you out:

http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/BtaudioHowTo

I suppose the big question is whether the external audio out on the TV
card outputs sound from all input sources or just routes non-tuner
input audio back out of the card.

To see what xawtv is doing (when it plays audio properly) fire up
alsamixer beforehand and take note of playback and recording settings.
Then fire up xawtv and see if it changes any of the settings. If you
can mute one of the inputs and xawtv stop making noise, you have
identified the input xawtv is using.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/79416

I would also investigate whether the card supports btaudio (see above)
If it does, you should be able to

- disconnect all audio cables
- connect the pay-TV audio into the audio input on the TV card.

As the TV card audio is then taken care of via ALSA, you shouldn't
need extra cables.

That file might work, but it didn't work for me.  So, I used
irrecord to generate a specific /etc/lircd.conf for my MythTV system,

Strictly speaking, it isn't necessary to generate a new

preferred generating my own  so that I could get the experience
necessary to support multiple ATI Remote Wonder remotes.  For the

Try commenting out each of these individually and in pairs and threes

tests so settings from the previous module load are completely reset

Mike,

Thanks, that did it. Edited the modprobe.conf and commented out the

Definitely possible, I'm doing it now. But, you could just use NFS and 
mount the remote filesystems all onto one master backend. It would 
probably be a bit easier that way, in terms of administration (just need 
NFS on the slaves, as opposed to many MythTV backends) and you only have 
to set it up once. Then the master just streams the files out to the 
clients. I personally have a master backend, a slave backend, and a 
separate NFS server that serves just videos, and any client can watch 
the videos.

Raphael,

I use the fglrx drivers on my frontend system (2GHz Celeron, Radeon
9100IGP) and when just testing, got 3-4% X usage and 13% mythfrontend
usage whilst playing back a 720x576 MPEG2 recording.

First thing is to make sure you have xv working (type 'xvinfo' at the
prompt and check the output). The MPEG4 codecs require more CPU power
to decode than MPEG2 which is how they offer better compression
ratios.

[mythtv-users] Losing sound on PVR-150

2005-11-14 Thread Anthony Valentine


Hello,

I have a Gentoo based MythTV box that, for the most part , is working 
great.However, I have a loss of audio problem that I am hoping that 
someone can help me with, cause I've run out of ideas.


The problem is that I will randomly lose sound on one of my tuners 
(PVR-150) and I cannot get it back until I reboot.  So far, it seems to 
happen on a specific tuner, but as it is Tuner0 and it records most of 
my shows, that could just be a coincidence.


I have tried the ivtv-0.4 drivers via portage, and from ivtv's SVN, but 
that hasn't helped and as far as I can tell, I am using the latest 
firmware.  I have also followed the troubleshooting page on ivtvdriver.org.


I don't want to flood the list with pages of configs and logs, so I have 
posted everything that I think is relevant on my website, here: 
http://www.akvalentine.com/Members/anthony


If I have left something out, please let me know and I'll post it ASAP.

Thanks for your help!

Quite worrying if this config is not working - are you sure LIRC is
actually working properly and creating the correct /dev devices? If
you are starting LIRC as a service, try

# service lircd status

and see what it reports (I've had instances where LIRC was hanging
(LIRC dead, subsystem locked message). The Hauppauge remotes use the
RC5 control code set, so you should be able to use irrecord specifying
the RC5 config file available from lirc.org.

Finally, what type of receiver are you using (PVR or serial Rx) and
what output does irw give?

I no longer use this remote (but do have the PVR-350), and don't have
the old config to hand, but I remember the lirc.org config was fine
for me (using lirc 0.7.0 a year ago).

I believe this just dumps whatever raw data flows into that device from

actually working properly and creating the correct /dev devices? If
you are starting LIRC as a service, try

# service lircd status

and see what it reports (I've had instances where LIRC was hanging
(LIRC dead, subsystem locked message). The Hauppauge remotes use the
RC5 control code set, so you should be able to use irrecord specifying
the RC5 config file available from lirc.org.

Finally, what type of receiver are you using (PVR or serial Rx) and
what output does irw give?

I no longer use this remote (but do have the PVR-350), and don't have
the old config to hand, but I remember the lirc.org config was fine
for me (using lirc 0.7.0 a year ago).

Try just having 'xine' as your command and see if it would at least
load. Otherwise, have you tried specifying the full path to xine?

I would run alsamixer whilst you have some audio playing through your
PVR-350 card. The line-in needs to be set to 'capture' with sensible
audio level, and also muted in recording settings (so that you don't
hear two copies of the same audio), whilst playback needs to have PCM
and master output unmuted, again with sensible levels. Play around
with the recording levels until you find one that is satisfactory for
your setup.
