Nothing inherently wrong with the Via Rhine network adapter, I'm  
using one with no problems. "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? That'd be unusual for a desktop motherboard.

OK, no problem with mythweb, sorry Chris.

The problem was as Claude said:The settings:
Press toolbox -> session settings.

What confused me was that my PHP doesn't seem to
obey the %p time formatting for AM/PM, which led me to
believe that this didn't influence the time format at all.

Re: [mythtv-users] XP2100 outperforms my P4-3.2Ghz

[Sonni Nørløv]

Hi,

I think I have see something similar, and it turned out to be related
to the opengl driver.

On my p3 733mhz, with a similar pvr250 and fx5200 running gentoo,
everything was running fine at ~25% idle when watching live tv.

Then after an update, including a new nvidia driver, I got prebuffering
pauses and 100% cpu usage.
After trying to go back to some of the old drivers+packages, which did
not change anything. I installed oprofiling and did a bit of profilling
I got the following output:
Profiling through timer interrupt

Which lead me to the opengl driver, then after selecting xorg opengl
interface:
# opengl-update xorg-x11

Things was back to normal:

going back to: 
# opengl-update nvidia
resulted in prebuffering to ocour again.

Just my 2 cent.

[mythtv-users] Finnish DVB EPG and PreferredLanguages (SVN regression)

[Osma Ahvenlampi]

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.

Thanks,

//osma

[mythtv-users] Is it possible to use nuvexport on a host remote from the backend?

[William Kenworthy]

Is it possible to use nuvexport on a host remote from the backend?
I have a more powerful machine than the backend one, which runs
mythfrontend fine.  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.

Yeah.  There's a known bug in the 8178 driver that results in 100% CPU 
usage when using OpenGL vsync.  So, either don't use 8178 (best bet) or 
turn off OpenGL vsync (which requires a re-compile for Myth 0.18.1 and 
below).

Or just comment out "load glx" in your X config file, unless you have

Re: [mythtv-users] Lost MythVideo somehow

Thanks, 
 
It says it's trying to load a shared object called liblibmythmythvideo.so, which of course isn't there, but there is also no libmythvideo.so.  My guess is that the error message is wrong, and its acutally looking for 
libmythvideo.so.  Not sure what happened to that, but I'm trying to install mythvideo now.   
Looks like that did the trick, wonder why the error message said it was looking for liblibmythmythvideo.so.

OK, how do I do that?  The backend sits in a room far away from the

That may be true, however I have observed (measured) that a modern CPU

[mythtv-users] AFD Error: Unknown decoding error

[Osma Ahvenlampi]

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? I'm thinking the only way I can eliminate
this is if I figure out a way to change the logging so that these
content related error messages contain the file and offset where the
error happened. Before I join the dev list, might someone be able to
help me with this?

A few example log fragments related to the situation:

[mpeg2video @ 0x104abc4]get_buffer() failed (stride changed)

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV and TV

[Niels Dybdahl]

I've googled about and it seems that the solution is to manually enterthe frequency tables into mySQL... Before I go that route, I figured I'd
ask for advice.Any suggestions?
It is probably easier to enter the frequencies via MythWeb or via mythtvsetup.
Note that you can enter either the channel number or the frequency in kilohertz

You create a cutlist for a transcoder by entering edit mode with 'e'
while viewing the recording, selecting where you want to insert a
cutpoint with space or enter, and then exiting with another 'e' press.
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.

Map the 'e' and 'z' keys somewhere to your remote. You probably have the
other keys required, ie cursor keys and either space or enter already
mapped there.

Re: [mythtv-users] StreamTV

[Jonathan Smith]

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.

As far as I know, the mythburn scripts automatically use the mythtv
cutlist - at least they do with my setup (DVB-T with Nova-T). So if
you only nee it for mythburn, you shouldn't need to worry about
getting the cutlist data yourself.

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.

Did you try using the TV card with some other application outside of
MythTV to verify that it's working correctly?

Re: [mythtv-users] cutlist

[Jonathan Smith]

In my opinion it is essential to have a keyboard to edit the cutlist,
I have a knoppmyth boot cd that I use as a frontent to do this very
task.  The autogenerated cut list does a decent job, but never perfect
from my experience.

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 looks like SDPIF out is still behind the door on the front which is a 
pain since you have to have the door closed to turn it on or off. Plus 
it looks like crap with the door open so connecting to a receiver or amp 
is sort of not an option. Also, if you ever want to upgrade the video, 
you are still stuck with PCI which seems to be getting harder to find on 
the newer cards. My pundit-r has been running great as a front end for 
almost a year but my next big purchase will be a replacement this system 
that gives me a few more options.

Yeah, I agree. 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...

Looks like a nice machine for a medium performance desktop machine though.

Re: [mythtv-users] cutlist

[Jonathan Smith]

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.....

[John Nelson]

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.  Looks like I will be learning more about 
modular versus compiled in support as well as Interrupt handling in 
Linux.  :-)   (And while new, I do know a bit of generalized stuff )

Sincerely,
John Nelson

Had one of those DOH! moments today. Logged in as root to check a few things 
and as I usually do, started by typing df. Between dismantling the TV and 
switching off the box, the hard disk had filled to 100%. No wonder KDE couldn't 
start up. Deleted a few files and I'm up and running again.

Absolutely. "10" is the interrupt BTW. I believe the second number is

As you pointed out, INTs 10 and 11 are certainly busy, it would not  
surprise me if the sharing of the ethernet interrupt is helping to  
cause your problems.

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.

Meanwhile, if anyone else has any ideas they are most welcome :-)

[mythtv-users] problem with Fusion 5 Gold

[Mike VanderPloeg]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem getting a Fusion 5 Gold card (OTA
& ATSC) to work with mythtv.  azap and test_dvr work
well, and I can capture ATSC video.  However, myth
just gives me static.

latest v4l CVS modules using their instructions.  I
then modprobed cx8800 and cx88-dvb.  Was this correct?

[mythtv-users] mythfrontend freezes on first run

[Stuart Moore]

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.

There's an "interesting" little mexican place called "Mama's Mexican
Kitchen" that, if you're never been, is a Seattle landmark.. (ok, not
like the underground, but you know what I mean)

Mama's Mexican Kitchen
2234 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 728-6262

I've been there quite a few times, and the pace can be slow enough
where we could sit and shoot the breeze a bit, and still enjoy the
food.

Noonish on Sunday would be good for me.

Thoughts?

But, the error message in his log output clearly states that his sound 
is configured incorrectly.  And, until the sound is fixed, he's unlikely 
to get any video playback (Myth expects the sound to be properly 
configured--even if you're not listening to it).

Well, it says /dev/dsp isn't there, so if you can play sound in other 
applications (i.e. xine or MPlayer), then you need to change the sound 
settings in Myth (from the default sound device--"/dev/dsp"--to the one 
your system is using, like "ALSA:default").  (And change your mixer to 
"default".)

If you can't play sound elsewhere, check in on the Knopp fora for help 
setting it up.

Also, make sure you turn off any sound servers (esd, artsd, ...).

This is one of those 'DUH' solutions  I had never compiled sound 
support into the kernel for this particular machine.

New kernel being built, with ALSA and bt audio as we speak.  More later.

[mythtv-users] Guide data setup for mixed ATSC/QAM & NTSC backend? Multiple xmltv feeds needed?

[Todd Ignasiak]

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.

All three have come through:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/178078#178078

and the one to which I'm replying.

If you're not seeing your own posts, check your SF list settings at the 
address below (the one at the bottom of every post on the list).

As far as MPlayer, what's a delay?  Audio and video out of sync?  If so, 
"man mplayer/sync" (make sure you read in between each 
"n").  Also, remember to use "-framedrop" and look at "-vo" (probably 
want something like "-vo xv"

With xine, you can easily and interactively adjust sync with "m" and "n".

[mythtv-users] Error when compiling SVN on XBOX?? any ideas?

[A JM]

Well I finally got over the hump of the build-deep problem with my XBOX
as it turns out I just had to use a more recent version of Xebian, I
was using 1.1.2 and didn't realize 1.1.4 was available. I ran 'apt-get build-dep mythtv' and all appeared to be fine and I was able to still boot Xebian. 

So, I've finally gotten to the point where I can try and compile Myth
and I get the follwoing error, hopefully someone can help me out.

Hiya,

I've had a look at the channel editor in mythtv-setup and I can't see how
you'd turn off the DVB channels. 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? 

Thanks again

Mike

Install a frontend on your remote box, run it once to get things

There never was a 0.18.2 but some of the distros apparently bundled up

What most users do is set up several listings on the same zap2it account
with slightly different zip codes. So if your neighborhood is in 10023,
you can use the neighboring neighborhoods 10022, 10024, etc for
additional listings, since you probably get the same OTA/Cable signals
as your immediate neighbors.

I've seen precisely the same problem occur. Particularly for the UP/DOWN
keys.

Sometimes it is fine, but other times, and I haven't yet found how to
reliably trigger it, each press of UP or DOWN appears to generate two
presses.

It makes navigating to a particular recorded show very difficult. The
only 'resolution' I've found is to quit mythfrontend and restart it.

Perhaps it has something to do with the Debian packages? I'm also using
them.

It appears not to be hardware related as I've seen this problem occur on
three quite different machines. Like you I'm primarily navigating by
keyboard.

Terry

[mythtv-users] Second card needs to be initialized???

[Brian Wood]

Still trying to get a handle on inconsistent PiP results. This is  
getting stranger and stranger.

It turns out that trying to use PiP mode (via any method) will lock  
up the frontend.

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.

Sorry, missed that.

The only thing I can think of is that `hostname` returns a value 
different than the one mythfrontend finds.  What do you get from the 
following:

SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value="RecordFilePrefix";

and what do you get when you run `hostname` on your remote machine?

[mythtv-users] Recording MPEG-4 to DVD

Slightly offtopic I guess, but does anyone know of a Linux based

[mythtv-users] External audio

Has anyone used any USB attached external audio devices like the Extigy 
or the Creative Live 24-bit External USB device?  I'm considering this 
as an option on my small form factor frontend.  I see that it has 
optical SPDIF out which I need but I'm not sure on the AC3 passthrough 
support in Linux of these devices.  I'd like to do this to remove the 
full height PCI audio card I have in the SFF case in order to make room 
for an AGP video card which that card blocks.

Thanks very much for your quick reply!

So I encode the video into MPEG-2 following the standard resolution for 
PAL DVD, then use a DVD creator tool to make a DVD ISO and then burn it 
on DVD?  Will standard MPEG-2 be OK or is there some specific version of 
MPEG-2 I need to encode the video into?

Thanks very much again!

Re: [mythtv-users] Recording MPEG-4 to DVD

[Nick Rout]

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. The web page is not up to much, but it has a usage summary
which will give you a good idea of it's abilities.

[mythtv-users] sound not encoding

[mstrimel]

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.  So I know (?) it's not a 
playback problem.

Basically you have it right, but there are always a few tricks to

The video needs to be 720x480 or 704x480 (assuming NTSC) and meet  
some other standards.

dvdstyler is a good option, as was pointed out, the other Linux  
option is dvdauthor and its graphical frontend qdvdauthor.

Personally I use my Mac to create DVDs, so I can't tell you much  
about the authoring apps.

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.

Graeme,

I've not posted on this particular topic before but have thought the
same for quite a while. it's another feature that mythfilldatabase
could certainly use (my real bugbear is the lack of an option to allow
a single source file to be used for mutliple sources in a single hit).
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

[f-myth-users]

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?

So, if you take your 'new' frontend out of the equation, and just
change the loopback address on the single machine (the FE/BE combo) to
actual internal IP's (well, just 1 IP, the IP of the machine it's
running on should be in both fields), does this happen then too?  Is
there anything odd about your network setup that we should be thinking
about?  Is MySQL running on the backend or on another machine?

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.  (I'm reasonably sure that mysqld was there in the first place
because I built the two machines by building one partway and then
essentially cloning its disk; obviously I missed a step in getting
its services customized.)

[mythtv-users] Issue with lirc...

[John Brooks]

Hey, guys. I'm having an issue getting lirc working on my box. I'm
running Ubuntu Breezy Badger with kernel 2.6.12-10-k7. I followed the
directions given here in order to get lirc up and running:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20952.html

However, attempting "modprobe lirc_sir" gets me this:

FATAL: Error inserting lirc_sir
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/misc/lirc_sir.ko): Unknown symbol in module,
or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

[4545990.816000] lirc_sir: Unknown symbol lirc_unregister_plugin
[4545990.816000] lirc_sir: Unknown symbol lirc_register_plugin

It appears this guy has seen this problem before and had some sort of patch to it; does anyone know about this? 

http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg09473.html

The general consensus I've seen from my google fu seems to be that lirc
started having this issue around the time the 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 kernels
rolled out.

I'm so close to a fully functional death star^W^W MythTV machine! All I
need is to get lirc working, plus sound on the TV portion.

Thanks for everyone's insight and help so far!

OK, I got my new kernel built, booted, and all that jazz.

Using 2.6.15.1, with bttv and btaudio based on some archives suggesting 
btaudio over alsa bt87xx.

I no longer get a segfault, but I still don't get a clear image on the 
remote.

Specifically:

First time around, the frontend connects, and gets a green screen with a 
horizontal fuzzy bar across the top, exactly as if there is no signal or 
wrong standard/frequency.

After 15 seconds, the display freezes, and the frontend displays an 
error about 'something went wrong' or similar.

After that the frontend can no longer connect to the backend when I 
click on Watch TV.

The logs for the backend are attached.  Basically it is getting no 
signal from the card.  I can bring up xawtv and pull in channel 28 fine.

The frontend and the backend are talking since I can pass channel 
information to the backend from the frontend, and I get a video image

Any suggestions?  Is it possible to turn on greater debugging so I can 
what standard/freq MythTV is setting the card for?  Is it possible the 
frontend is setting a different standard from the backend?

Glancing over your logs, it looks ok.  What kind of signal are you
using? analog cable TV, digital cable TV, Satellite, Rooftop
Antenna..?

You can set both local and global settings from the frontend depending
on what you are trying to adjust.  At the top of the screen it
generally tells you if it's global options you are changing.

[mythtv-users] LiveTV breaks LIRC

[K Stanton]

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.

When you run mythtv-setup from the backend, you should be able to set
NTSC/PAL, as well as set the Video Source to pair with your Television
input (after you setup your Video Source of course).

Do you have to do anything else (like a xorg.conf setting) other than

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.

Yes their support takes a number of days to get back to you.

Their bibaries are i686 so are unsuitable for my i586/M9000/Ezra board.

So no experience of actual use, just a wait for their support email.

OK, I've got a big chunk of the problem identified...

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...

Nothing in the mythtv logs that I haven't posted before, but this 
appears in my backend system log:

Maybe someone can make sense out of that.  Seems that the bttv driver is

When you run mythtv-setup on the backend, under the General option,
you come upon a screen that says:
Global Backend Setup

In that screen there lies that option.

[mythtv-users] Comcast On-Demand with Serial Control

[Shane Liesegang]

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? Is this kind 
of detection/conditional input even possible?

[mythtv-users] Myth frontend/backend case

[Jason Rottman]

Hi, I have been searching around for a nice looking barebones case to
enclose my frontent/backend so that I can place it in my entertainment
center.  I have seen many different cases online, but they all
seem to have some drawbacks.  I would greatly appreciate if anyone
posted their type of case, a link for more information, and what their
thoughts are about the case.  Thank you.

Hoping that I don't hijack this thread too much:

What about the option for "TV Format" where ATSC and NTSC appears? 
I've got one big, new HDTV and the rest of my TV's are all old school
32" CRT's...

No, please don't spread rumors based on bogus reports. ATrpms at least
did *not* bundle/release/fork etc. anything called 0.18.2.

There were some svn fixes in the official release-0.18-fixes branch
that renamed some shared libs in preparation for a future 0.18.2
release, but that's all there is about a "0.18.2", and given 0.19's
targeted release schedule there will probably never be a 0.18.2.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythWeb + myth-remote-control

[Adam Bodnar]

You really wouldn't need a cgi script.

With the telnet interface, you can have php open a socket to the ip
the backend is on and have it issue the commands.

Something like this.

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.

[mythtv-users] Can't rip DVD's anymore - possible NFS mount problem?

[Darren Richards]

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

I cancelled the get-together for lack of interest.  After trying two of
