"lspci" will show you the precise type of adapter. Is it perhaps sharing an interrupt with something that it doesn't want to be? "Cat /proc/interrupts" will show you if this might be a problem. Is your network device support modular or compiled in? I seem to recall I had some strangeness with the module and now have it compiled in. I'd stay away from USB network adapters, and are you saying the mobo has PCMCIA support?

[mythtv-users] Finnish DVB EPG and PreferredLanguages (SVN regression)
Since switching from 0.18.x to SVN a few weeks ago, an old problem has reappeared - the EPG keeps switching between Finnish and Swedish program info (as both are broadcasted in the DVB stream). With 0.18 I found that setting PreferredLanguages to 'fin' helped, but it doesn't any more. Sometimes program info is in Finnish, sometimes in Swedish, and it keeps changing for programs that have already been in the EPG as the data is refreshed. This also means that sometimes a program isn't recorded when it should have been, and sometimes the box records a program twice(!) at the same time due to having two entries for it in the EPG. I've tried to dig around in the source, but since the differences between 0.18 and SVN are huge, I'm getting nowhere. Anyone more clued to what's the workaround now? The list archives weren't very helpful, but then again, I can't find the 0.18 reference there any more either.

However, when I try and use nuvexport I get: Loading MythTV recording info. This host not configured for myth. (No RecordFilePrefix defined for rattus in the settings table.) Needless to say nuvexport works fine on the backend. This is a bit weird as the backend mysql database does not have a RecordFilePrefix column in the settings table.

[mythtv-users] AFD Error: Unknown decoding error
Another problem I've got since upgrading from 0.18 to SVN, is a repeating "AFD Error: unknown decoding error" that seems to sometimes crash mythbackend and sometimes cause mythtranscode to eat upwards of half a gig of memory and throw my myth box into a swap hell. I tried reporting this to Trac, but as I haven't been able to isolate a video fragment that causes this (weak DVB antenna, random signal errors, and this might happen for example 80 minutes into a three-hour recording - I don't think anyone's interested in getting six gigs of video to debug..), that bug was closed as invalid. It's http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/986 Has anyone else run into this?

While in the edit mode, you can also load the pregenerated commercial detector cutlist with 'z'. Then you just transcode the recording. I don't use mythburn, maybe it can transcode while burning, maybe you need to do that ahead of time. I can routinely transcode an hour of DVB signal from 2 gigs to 1 of MPEG-4 with the same resolution (720x576) and no noticeable loss of quality, and lose the commercials while doing that. That doubles my storage capacity on the box, so I haven't bothered burning anything to disc since setting up the system a year ago. > Could someone explaine a little bit more about that process.

Re: [mythtv-users] Segfault when configured MythTV with XvMC
HelloThank you for this...I have tried several revision of nVidia before but it didn't make any difference.I'm now recompiling a kernel with a higher kernel frequency (1000Hz) and will downgrade the nvidia driver as well while I'm at it. Will keep you posted. It seems that a few people have issues with XvMC but nobody seem to have found a unique solution to it.JYOn 1/29/06, Jarod Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Saturday 28 January 2006 01:49, Jean-Yves Avenard wrote:> DVB-T (both SD and HD channels) doesn't play smoothly on my P4 3.4Ghz FC4> box.> I am running the latest nVidia driver (8178)> > Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to get smooth video> for over a week.I'd try yanking the nVidia 8178 driver and install 7676 instead.

Re: [mythtv-users] StreamTV
I did mean MythStreamTV. The rpm I was referring to was the rpm for vlc, I had to install MythStreamTV via script. There are some dependencies that will need to be installed before you can install vlc, at least on FC4, one of them being libmodplug, yum doesnt have the rpm available, so had to go hunting for them. I still have the video problem, will need to do some futher troubleshooting. I know my Windows machine has the wmv2 codec, perhaps the vlc client on the myth box does not have that codec.

Myth sends everything it needs to send to any frontend. From my (limited) understanding, there seems to be something wrong with your backend configuration so there never is anything to send in the first place.

The cutlist that commercial flagging produces needs some attention before it's perfect. However the OP stated that he can use his remote to edit the recording, so I figure he can correct those errors without the need for a keyboard. The original question, as I understood it, was not: "How can I cut my recordings with a remote?" or "Do I need to manually edit auto-generated cutlists?" but rather "How do I export myth cutlists into a file to use with mythburn?" And if mythburn works the same on analogue capture cards as it does on my DVB setup, the answer would be: "You don't need to worry about it for mythburn as the scripts already do it automatically." (Examining mythburn's code should show how it does that, but I'm not near my mythbox right now.)

It also looks from the Asus spec that all the 1394 ports are on the front which is a drag if you want to use Firewire hard drives, or possibly hook to a 1394 cable box...

Re: [mythtv-users] cutlist
As I read it the OP wanted some explanation about the cutlist process, then processing the video via mythburn. Since Osama did such a good job describing the editing process, I felt compelled to share some additional information, an alternative to editing the cutlist should the author find the need to have a keyboard, a second computer with a bootable knoppmyth cd would be the only essentials. The advantage to this is that you arent using your TV and preventing others from watching TV.

Re: [mythtv-users] Network Device Failure.....
Mr. Wood, Well, I ran both lspci and the cat /proc/interrupts commands and the outputs are copied below. I was thinking a USB ethernet adapter would be a bad idea. As for PCMCIA, I have the ability to get an IDE adapter that goes into a 5.25 slot on a case. I have no idea about its specs, if Linux wil leven see it, etc. Plus, this would be a very certain kludge. The First cut/paste is the thernet type. The second is the interrupts. I do notice there are quit a few on the 10: 499501 row. Being a bit of a wet behind the ears Linux newbie, is the 10 or the 499501 the interrupt? Or both? The fact that there is one of my capture cards, two USB ports and my Ethernet on whatever that row, do you think that might be part of the problem? As for whether my network device support is modular or compiled in, I will have to look into that. Thank you for the help.

If you're not using USB for anything I would not load those drivers, same for the parallel port. I don't know if ivtv and eth0 can share INTs well, but getting rid of as much conflict as possible certainly couldn't hurt. There's not much you can do with moving PCI cards around, which is the traditional method of trying to arrange INTs in a better way. I don't know if your mobo has much if any control over INT assignment but the best solution would be to get the eth0 on an INT by itself in some way, or at least sharing with something little-used. I have the very same Rhine net interface but it has its very own INT. I've never run into an IDE ethernet device. I do have a SCSI net device I used to use with a very old Mac and it worked OK, but as you pointed out I do not know if Linux would support such a thing. I suspect a USB "solution" would make matters here worse. So get rid of the USB drivers if you can, also the parport (or go to a polling driver for it). If you need help doing this feel free to mail me privately, we can post a summary to the list if we get it resolved but let's try to not bore the list with kernel config issues.

I'm trying to set up a mythtv system. mythfrontend always freezes: I get a background come up, similar to that of mythtv-setup (but a slightly different colour). Nothing happens from here in. sshing from another machine and running top reveals "Xorg" is running at 95%+ processor usage. Mythbackend occasionally does some processing, as does mysql and "cx88[0] dvb", so it seems to be thinking about something, but there's nothing obvious in the logs. The system is a P3 800 with 256Mb ram. I'm using a WinTV Nova-T card, and I've successfully watched tv off it using tzap and dvbstream. All the channels seemed to be found. I'm using the latest ubuntu, all packages obtained from them using aptitude. I'm using a PCI XFX GeForce MX4000 64mb and the NVidia drivers, outputting to TV only. Any suggestions? Unfortunately I don't have frequent physical access to the machine (setting it up for parents) but I can log in remotely easily.

[mythtv-users] Guide data setup for mixed ATSC/QAM & NTSC backend? Multiple xmltv feeds needed?
I am trying to clean up my MythTV configuration a bit. Part of that effort is to use a single Zap2it / xmltv guide account, so I can deal with the expiration less frequently (with two, it seems like it's always expiring). I have four tuners, all hooked to my cable TV connection. The two SD tuners (PVR-500 card) can record all the analog channels (2-63). The two ATSC/QAM tuners can record the handful of HD channels (79,116,117; which breaks out into five visible HD channels), and cannot do SD (at least not as I have it set up. I wouldn't want them to do SD anyway, as they don't have MPEG encoders.) But, with my config now, it seems that MythTV doesn't know the difference between the channel types, and tries to record SD with the HD tuner, and HD with the SD tuner. I have the TV format set to ATSC on my HD channels, and I was hoping that would allow MythTV to associate those channels with the HD capable tuners. I'm sure others have this same setup. What is the recommended "best practice" for associating channels/guide data with the best tuner card? Must I go back to my config with two guide sources, each limited to the relevant stations the tuners can receive? Thanks for any input. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The channel editor lists all the channels available, and the source (RT for DVB and RT2 for the PVR-250, in my case). There are no channels listed which aren't associated with RT or RT2. If I remove a channel from here won't it remove it completely from Mythtv's understanding? As far as I understand how MythTV works the channel number (channum) is originally defined courtesy of the information provided by a scan of the DVB card and thus is the key to any EPG updates from the DVB. If channel 14 (E4) had its channel number changed to, say, 914, then the DVB card would no longer know to update E4 but as long as the xmltvid was present the MFDB would know to update it. Is this right?

UNLESS I have used the second card to make a recording first, then it seems to work OK. So I must make a recording in a way that uses the second card (ie: not "watch while recording") before I can use the second card to view a PiP image. The first card is a PVR-150, the second a PVR-350. There is an HD-3000 card but it's presently listed as "no input". ivtv-detect see all three cards, and no errors on boot-up initialization. I'm considering trying reversing the card order, as I can't get CC out of the 150 anyway, but I really wonder what's going on. Any ideas appreciated.

any2vob is great at turning anything other than the cat into a dvd compliant vob file, which you can then use with an authoring program like dvdstyler. http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/any2vob/ It is a shell script, and it has lots of dependencies, but the results are good.

hello, I wrote earlier about this problem, thought I fixed it by changing to onboard sound, but I was wrong (onboard sound has constant popping so I really need the PCI to work) Nutshell: * LiveTV has no sound. * If I unmute "mic" while playing live TV, I can hear the audio a few seconds ahead of the video, so I know the sound is getting to the card. It's just not encoding it. * If I play back an old recording, I can hear sound.

See the other replies, but don't just remove the script, use your distro's tools to make sure it stops and won't start again. Deleting it will work until your distro updates mysql and replaces the /etc/init.d script. It will also create boot error messages as the bootup scripts try to run /etc/init.d/mysql and cannot find it. for example: On gentoo: /etc/init.d/mysql stop rc-update del mysql default on fedora I would guess (from my redhat days) service mysql stop chkconfig --del mysql debian and relatives have a command update-rc.d which I don't know how to use. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I think it would be extremely useful to be able to create and mark channels as being timeshifted versions of existing ones (not just +1hr as there is FX+2 for instance). As you suggest, you could reuse the same listings for each 'copy' to negate the problems of the listings providers having slightly differing descriptions, and also get faster channel updates as a result. There is also the problem (I existed until recently for More4+1 using uk_rt - I need to send the updates for the grabber for the new channels just added!) that listings for +1 channels are not available - so this solution would have multiple benefits.

[mythtv-users] MythWeb + myth-remote-control
I've been thinking a bit recently about a feature I mentioned a couple months ago, and it seems more implementable now. (Is MythWeb covered by the current feature freeze? :) The idea is to be able to browse recordings in MythWeb, but, if you clicked on the image in any given row, to have the frontend play it instead of having it streamed to the browser. This is handy in situations where you don't necessarily have a pre-established playlist, and would like to start the next recording on the fly while the previous one is still playing. (Useful for VJ'ing, for meetings in which you're presenting a bunch of short clips, for those of us who find a browser on a close-up high-res screen much more readable than the TV on the other side of the room, etc etc.) Obviously, this would be optional, so the existing behavior of streaming directly to the browser still works for those who want it. Originally, it looked like the way to do this was to send a different URL to the browser such that the image link ran a cgi script that then talked to the frontend (which might not be the same as the backend machine), and which then ran mplayer right on top of the frontend GUI. This is inelegant in a number of ways, though. But with the recent work that went into SVN (courtesy of the bounty that was paid for the added functionality) for remote-controlling the frontend from elsewhere, this could be a lot easier: Each of the rows in MythWeb's recorded-programs page has a URL that runs a cgi script that gets handed some ID for the program (whatever's easiest to put in the URL and look up in the DB later), and the cgi script then commands the frontend to play that recording directly, just as if the user navigated there via the frontend's UI. Seems very simple. The clean way to implement this would be to augment MythWeb to run an arbitrary script (e.g., the cgi script gets configured to call one of potentially several scripts, and hands it the program ID), and the first (but maybe not only) script to actually get written would be the one that takes the program ID and tells the frontend remote-control to play it. MythWeb would need two additional configuration options somewhere: o Whether to enable this behavior at all o Which frontend to use, if there is more than one How feasible does this sound? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Sure; I was speaking informally. By "delete" I meant "use update-rc.d" (Ubuntu's name for it) to remove the various symlinks---but your explanation might be useful to somebody else who comes across this... Tnx.

[mythtv-users] LiveTV breaks LIRC
I've seen a few issues posted about LIRC (lircd) working and then stopping, but I haven't read about my problem, and certainly haven't seen any fixes. I have a SilverStone HTPC case with a Soundgraph iMON LCD/IR receiver built in. I have LIRC running, and using IRW, can poke and see my all my remote commands over and over. I can also navigate around mythfrontend. But when I go to LiveTV, sometimes the remote stops functioning immediately, sometimes after up to 10 presses. After the remote stops responding, dmesg shows nothing wrong, /var/log/lircd using debug level 2 shows all the events up to the time it stops, and no sign of a problem. irw stays working, but no longer shows activity. In order to get lircd working again, I have to kill lircd and rmmod lirc_imon and lirc_dev (and restart them). The only other issue/clue I can think of is that if I run lircd -D with anything higher than 2, I get a seg fault. Help! I've been troubleshooting for days, and my friend google is staying quiet on this one. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

One possibility is that in mythtv-setup, you may not have set up the "Input connections". You can have a set of channels and grab TV listings but if there are no inputs for those channels, nothing would be scheduled. You can look in the Recording Priorities page to see the rules that have been created. -- bjm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I think the US-Broadcast freq table in my backend is hosed. I can get a channel (so far, 1 channel) on a frontend if I change the freq table to US-Cable. I get a freeze-and-fail on the front end if I try to change the channel or do anything else, requiring a backend kill and restart if I want to try TV again... The backend stays up, it just refuses to respond to any TV requests from front ends...

[mythtv-users] Comcast On-Demand with Serial Control
I recently joined the digital cable revolution, and before I had a chance to hook up my MythBox with serial control, I became enamored of Comcast's On Demand service. I'm trying to think of a way to let me access the On-Demand menu through the Myth interface. I'm thinking of writing a script for input that passes arrow key and enter presses to the cable box if we're tuned to channel 1 (where On-Demand "lives"). I don't know much about the Myth input scripts or serial communication, though does anyone have any advice on where to begin?

It won't work, MythTV has no idea if a capture card can only do ATSC or NTSC. If a source is connected to a card input MythTV assumes that input can get all the channels listed in that source. If it is a digital card it will realize that it can't receive that channel when you (or the scheduler) tune to the channel, but if it is an analog card it will gladly record static. -- Daniel ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Can't rip DVD's anymore - possible NFS mount problem?
I'm in the process of re-ripping my DVD collection after my hard drive died. I got about halfway through when I started having problems. The rip will just stop midway through, with no warnings or error messages... At first I thought it was the DVD drive itself, since nothing else had changed. I swapped drives, but still had the same problem. I'm ripping the dvd's to an NFS mounted drive. Upon further investigation, it seems that the nfs mount just "goes away" for awhile. If I'm patient enough, the mount will usually come back (after as much as 5-10 minutes), and the rip will continue. During that time, I can't even cd to the mounted directory. I only seem to have this problem while ripping dvd's. I have no problems just watching videos from the same location... Any suggestions? thanks, darren ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I cancelled the get-together for lack of interest. After trying two of these, I'm thinking we'll need to schedule things further in advance if we hope to get anyone to show up. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Comcast On-Demand with Serial Control
This would be a nice feature for those of us using firewire control as well.
