I can't remember the motherboards off the top of my head. The XP2100 is an Asus something, and the P4 is from Dell, I can check when I get home. Steve-- I have the standard xorg.conf that came with the fglrx driver. Is there a flag I need to add? Marius-- This is the default kernel that linux uses if you have a hyperthreading processor.

The video would be very 'jerky', and I had no audio. I solved it by swapping the IRQs in the BIOS.

Re: [mythtv-users] Still no sound with LiveTv or Recording
Make sure you know which device your sound card is being labeled as. To test this just locate a .au file that is already on your machine. Then do a $cat filename.au > /dev/dsp If that doesn't work try it again with /dev/dsp1 or /dev/audio, etc. Then of course you have to change your settings in mythfrontend to the corresponding audio device.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 (hard) lockups, Fixed!
Hey Kenneth, Thanks for this post I have been having the same problems with my PVR250. I have been considering buying a new mobo/cpu to try and solve the problem. Could you send me links to the hardware you bought, mobo and ram in particular? Also, did you use the retail fan on the processor and if so how loud is it?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR 350 - No Sound
Andrew, Put this near the beginning of your /etc/modprobe.conf file: alias msp3400-ivtv msp3400 Anything that you recorded previous to doing this will have no sound as it wasn't captured. Log out and log back in just for good measure too. Have fun with your system. Aaron On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 16:37:59 -0700, Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Video works fine.

Re: [mythtv-users] Trouble watching live tv.
Hondaman, Somehow your machine is recording something. To check what it is go into Manage, which should be right underneath Watch TV. There should be a show that is highlighted green and that is the one that is getting recorded. You can just hit the right arrow key while you select that program and a list should come up. Scroll down and hit Stop Recording. Then you should be able to delete it as well in the same manner.

[mythtv-users] mythcommflag always running?
It seems that this takes up 30-45% of my cpu even when I'm not recording. It is ran as root. Is it supposed to be running all of the time and if not how do I get rid of it? I turned off commercial flagging in mythfronend, but that didn't seem to do the trick. Maybe fixing this will make it so I can actually watch live tv without crashing. I can record and watch shows after the fact, but livetv won't really work and be stable.

[mythtv-users] is my processor to blame? (lockups, problems with FF and REW)
First off thanks so much to this list and to Jared for helping me set up a working mythtv box. My setup: AMD Duron 650Mhz 384mb RAM Samsung 160GB HDD FX5200 Hauppauge PVR250 FC3 2.6.10kernel My system works quite well recording shows, and even watching live tv if I don't do too many things. (changing channels, pulling up the guide, changing settings) However, once I start navigating through mythtv, sometimes my system will lockup and the only thing I can do is restart. I am thinking this happens because my processor can't keep up with the demands I am putting on it? So any opinions on this maybe from someone using a low end machine like mine? I don't want to upgrade my mobo/proc unless I have to. Also when fast forwarding or rewinding through a recorded show it will work just fine for about 10 seconds then the picture just freezes. I have to hit FF, REW, or play to get the picture to unfreeze. I don't know if this is hardware related or maybe I have some settings messed up on mythfrontend?

[mythtv-users] so close, but so far to finished install
I decided to compile the new mythtv (0.17) and it worked pretty well. (I'm using Debian Sarge by the way.) I haven't been able to finish up the installation unfortunately. I have been using a few guides on the web and the mythtv documentation of course, but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me on just a few things. 1.) Any advice whatsoever on getting my sound card detected and installed will be much appreciated. I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1 and just can't seem to get it right even using info found on the web. My biggest issue is that info center shows all of my PCI devices, including my sound card, but trying to run >alsamixergui for instance won't work. 2.) How do I know if my Hauppauge 250 card was detected and is usable? When I try to run setup /dev/video0-13 all say that nothing is detected so I am assuming that I need to do something more to get it detected. 3.) When I do a mythfilldatabase i get an error: 06:30:29.112 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) Connection timed out. You probably should modify the Master Server settings in the setup program and set the proper IP address. error resceduling id -1 in ScheduledRecording::signalChange I am really not sure at all what this means. I know that you can put a different IP address in there during setup, but I have no idea what one to try. If you can help me on any or all of these points I would really appreciate it.

[mythtv-users] setting up myth in debian
(FYI I have been using information on how to do this from www.wilson-stowe.com/mythtv/installguide ) I keep getting an error message when trying #apt-get install mythtv It says Failed to connect to database: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mythtv' (1) at -e line 5, <> line 1. Failed to create database (incorrect admin username/password?) If you supplied incorrect information, try: dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database dhcp64:~# dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database Failed to connect to database: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mythtv' (1) at -e line 5, <> line 1. Failed to create database (incorrect admin username/password?) If you supplied incorrect information, try: dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database So I try to do the dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database and I still get the same error. Any one have any idea what I should try next? Thanks for any help or advice. Aaron ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

So the Hauppauge 250 wouldn't work as well as the 350 you're saying? Dewey, Can you pause and rewind live tv on your machine? I think Khanh is trying to say I won't be able to do that with the 250? I bought an nvidia fx5200 for the video out and a soundblaster card for sound. When I say the Hauppauge cards are hard to come by... go to pretty much any online merchant and every single one of them have those cards backordered :( Aaron ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] myth on an old machine(which video capture card)
I'm gonna try to use my old 650mhz machine to run MythTV. (I will probably buy a better machine if I'm happy with MythTV.) Anyways, the only thing I need is a video capture card. I understand that I need one that does MPEG encoding so my CPU doesn't choke, but do I need a card that decodes as well? The ideal situation would be for me to use it just like a TiVo where I can pause, rewind, and fast forward live tv. I would like the card to work with minimal tweaking on KnoppMyth. It seems that Hauppauge cards are hard to come by these days so feel free to suggest other types as well. But if you think the Hauppauge card is the way to go by all means say so. Thanks for helping a noob, Aaron ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] no one on here uses dial up then?

A reply by someone on this mailing list telling me it would take huge amounts of bandwidth and hours of time to download the guides. Has anyone ran across a guide of someone using dial up, ie: scripts used etc. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] no one on here uses dial up then?
My dream of setting up a MythTV box seems to have been shattered now. Unless of course someone else has successfully used dial up in their setup. Please let me know if you have successfully used dial up. My TiVo box is using it, but I know it is different. Thanks a lot for the help!

[mythtv-users] grabbing the program info
How does XMLTV grab the program info? I suppose this is via an internet connection or something? Will I be able to get by doing this via a dial up connection? Sorry for the noobish question, but I couldn't find this on the docs. Aaron ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
