However, when you view the status of a job in mythweb and it shows percentage complete, FPS, etc what it is displaying to you is the value in the comment field of the jobqueue table in mysql. So any status information you want to pass to other apps should be inserted into mythconverg.jobqueue.comment for the job it pertains to. If the app you're writing is in C++ I believe you will find some methods to update this field in jobqueue.cpp (don't recall offhand where that file lives in the source tree).

[mythtv-users] Re: Video iPod
I think you guys are arguing two different points. Some are saying that if using QuickTime, you need QuickTime Pro because the non-Pro version doesn't have the appropriate video encoding tools. Others are saying that you don't need either QuickTime or QuickTime Pro because open-source software is da bomb... (And some are saying you can use non-free programs like freeware or applications from vendors other than Apple.) You're all right, alright? Correct!I also agree the ffmpeg should do the trick. So, we need a method that the user can select which recordings should be "podcast-enabled". Seeing as transcoding is required, and could be beneficial for other uses besides podcasts, I think that it would be beneficial to take a little more generic path for implementation. For example, I don't have automatic transcoding enabled on my setup but I would find it useful if I could occasionally set one particular recording subscription to transcode from MPEG2 to DiVX (.avi). We could also facilitate this with this implementation.I think that it would make the most sense to add "Transcode/Podcast Options" to the Recording Options menu. Selecting it, the user should be able to:a) indicate this recording subscription is to be transcodedb) select between a few preset transcode qualities ("Quicktime for iPod", "H.264 for iPod" (not sure that ffmpeg can do that)). The user should be able to create or delete a custom transcode quality setting.c) indicate if the original non-transcoded item should be deleted or remain once transcoding is completed) indicate a location for the resulting transcoded file to be placed.e) indicate if the transcoded file should be podcastf) select a location for the RSS feed, which would either be created if it didn't exist, or the entries would be added to the existing RSS feed if it did exist. This also would allow the user to have multiple RSS feeds so, for example, each show could have its own RSS feed or xe* could have one feed for all shows.The user would then need to only add the URL for the RSS feed location to iTunes to have it automatically copy new recordings to the iPod 5G (in accordance with his podcast settings).I think this is seriously cool, btw, and I'm pretty sure this would have me buying (yet another) iPod in no time if it were implemented. :-DBrad---* see http://www.braddolman.com/misc/xe.html___

[mythtv-users] Re: Apple iMac Remote
One problem that I see with the Apple Remote is that it lacks number keys for changing the channel. I agree with their "simplification" stand -- the average remote is *way* to complicated for what it does... but scrolling through 60 channels isn't fun either. I think if they ever at TV/DVR functionality, they'll have to add a number pad to the remote (which would still leave it with less than 1/2 the number of buttons on a Media Center PC Remote) --- Although, I bet a scroll wheel Joshua said: Otherwise the iMac has built in Bluetooth, so I plan on using my mobile phone as the remote.

It would probably be fine if the actual syncing occurred through iTunes, as that is already used for syncing my music, podcasts, contacts, notes (my "read later" web pages), calendar, and photos.

I am using the cable out on the back of my cable box and it goes into my second tuner card (PVR-250). Here's the problem: The cable box's cable out only broadcasts on channel 3. So when Myth has a listing for lets say... channel 5, it tunes from 3 to 5. Now it only picks up static, however for it to work, it needs to stay tuned on 3. The cable box can be on whatever channel needs to be recorded, that's why I bought an IR Blaster, but getting that to work is a problem for later. I hope most, or at least all of this, made sense. ___ When you run mythtv-setup and configure your capture cards you need to tell myth not to change channels on the tuner that's connected to your cable box. I believe this setting is in the Input Connections section. You select Tuner0 for the 250 and tell it which source is connected to that input. There is a box towards the bottom of that screen where you can enter an external channel changer command. This is where you put the full path to the script you'll use to control the IR blaster and change channels on the cable box. Just below that there is a box labelled something like 'Preset tuner to channel'. You want to enter 3 in that box. It tells myth to set its tuner to channel 3 whenever it uses that input. Obviously, you'll also need to get the IR blaster working so myth can actually change the channel on the cable box. As another alternative, you could use composite or s-video cables to connect the cable box to the pvr-250. This would completely bypass the tuner on the 250 and prevent this problem, but you'll still need to configure the external channel changing.

[mythtv-users] Re: Need suggestion for Frontend only fanless solution
Just as point of reference, I occasionally use my Mac (a powerbook g4 1.25Ghz) as a wireless frontend for MythTV. I'd have to say that it works great. I guess it is pretty comparable to (perhaps a little better than) the Mac Mini in terms of performance, and I have absolutely no problems with the MythFrontend binary for Mac. I'm only running SD but it works really well. I *think* I could run HD, but I have no real basis for that assumption. I think its reasonable to assume that a Mac Mini would not be able to do HD. Apple did, however, increase the RAM included with the mini - which should be sufficient for a frontend and OSX, they have two models with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth as well. Finally, there is a rumour currently that Apple is silently upgrading the processor speed as well. The official Apple page is here: http://www.apple.com/macmini/ I've considered many of the other options that have been mentioned here as well. For me the Roku, although great in terms of size, price, and quietness - its a no-starter for me because it doesn't support the full MythFrontend functionality. I don't think its possible to get it to play MPEG4, DiVX, .AVIs, etc. which is probably 60% of my usage. I do have a Pundit (original, not "-R") and am very happy with it -- but I'm not sure if those are still available. I asked a local shop about getting another one and they said they've been discontinued (although I think it may still be possible to track some down). I have my Pundit sitting, literally, 18 inches from my ear right now and I can barely hear a whisper from it. Although it is a little too loud with a DVD in it cranking away at 16X, but that's to be expected. I like the Mac as a frontend and, if I couldn't source another original Pundit (which would be cheaper) then I would seriously consider getting a Mac Mini for this purpose. Its a little more expensive, but I haven't seen anything else that can compare in terms of form factor and looks. Also, it would take me about 15 minutes - tops - from taking the Mac Mini out of the box to have it working with my backend. Even with all my experience with the Pundit, I would set aside an afternoon to get that configured, tweaked, and running.

Re: [mythtv-users] Audio echo/stutter
I've been having this exact same problem. I had been using ivtv version 0.3.6w successfully for some time with a PVR-350 and a PVR-500. I could only get one tuner working on the PVR-500 and finally figured out that it was bad hardware. Hauppauge replaced the 500 for me and sometime relatively shortly after replacing that card 0.3.6w stopped working for me. I don't recall now exactly what the problem was that started occurring, but I ended up upgrading to 0.3.8. I've seen the exact problem you describe below with 0.3.8, 0.3.9 (various svn revisions including at least 2745 and 2738), as well as 0.3.7 and various 0.3.7x (x = a-z) releases. I've also tried reverting to 0.3.6w which used to work, but now when I use 0.3.6w I get zero-byte files from the second tuner of the PVR-500. I searched both the mailing list and google and the best I could come up with was some info on the IOBOUND error messages that implied there may be some sort of network problem as my video storage is mounted via NFS. My NFS server is a PII 266 so I thought that maybe it doesn't have enough horsepower to do everything it needs to do. The thing that seems odd is that that file server hasn't never been a problem before and it's been serving the video storage partition for close to a year before this problem started. The file server is connected to the backend via 10/100 ethernet so it shouldn't be a bandwidth problem that's causing this. I've still using a cvs version of myth from several months after 0.18.1 was released. Haven't tried a new SVN version yet since I was thinking that my problem was ivtv related and not myth. I also saw some list traffic regarding problems with auto-expire in the latest SVN so I'm hesitant to upgrade until that gets worked out. Anyone else seeing similar problems or have any idea what the problem might be?

[mythtv-users] Re: New MythMusic Theme - 4 bins
Nick,
I'm SOOOo happy to see the work you are doing with the MythMusic
theme. I find the old theme completely unusable -- at least in my
case. It may have been good for navigating or creating playlists for
a couple hundred songs, but my music library is over 2300 songs --
most of those are 2 hr long sets -- and navigating the current theme
is a nightmare.
At first glance, I like your theme much better. Unfortunately I can't
try it until I update (I'm running .16.1) but I have a few comments
to pass along, that hopefully you or someone else will find useful...
- I've always admired Apple's UI in iTunes' browse mode and thought
that a derivative of that would work well in MythMusic -- simplified
for remote control access, of course. In some ways, your theme seems
to already provide some of those benefits. See an iTunes screen here:
http://homepage.mac.com/bdolman/iTunes_Screen.png . In particular,
the Playlists (which includes an all-music "Library" listing), Genre,
Artist, and Album can easily be selected to narrow the list of Songs
in the lower panel. This works incredibly well. You can narrow the
listing by changing any of the panes from its default "All" setting
and the other panes update to reflect the changed selection. For
example, changing setting the artist to "Felix da Housecat" shows all
songs by that artist and updates the Albums list to only the albums
by that artist -- the song listing can be further narrowed by
selecting one of the albums, which then only shows the songs from
that artist on that album. See a screenshot here: http://
homepage.mac.com/bdolman/iTunes_Screen2.png
- For really long listings, I thought it would be beneficial if
MythMusic let you use the remote as a keyboard to jump down the
list... 2 = abc, 3 = def, 4 = ghi, etc. So highlighting one of the
lists, such as artists, and pressing 8 twice would jump down to the
beginning of artists that start with "U" ("Underworld"). Navigating
the listing for a large number of songs is my number one complaint
with the current theme (you try scrolling through several hundred
songs from a remote!)
- I know I'm totally dreaming, but if MythMusic could read the
playlist files generated by iTunes, particularly "smart" playlists,
I'd be in heaven. I just store my entire iTunes library on my Myth
box and connect to it over the network from my computer (works great
and frees up lots of space on my computer). I manage all my playlists
through iTunes anyway, so if MythMusic could just read those files it
would take a lot of the burden off creating the perfect remote
accessible interface. Smart playlists are amazing -- you can set a
playlist that, for example, lists all songs by a particular artist
which is updated automatically if you ever add more songs by that
artist (basically these are playlists defined by rules instead of a
fixed list).
Ok, I've written enough. Sorry for the long post... I just got
excited... I love the changes you've made so far. I can't wait to
check it out!

[mythtv-users] trying to control one-touch record (feature request)
I would also like to see a feature like this. It would also be beneficial when recording from other sources (without the EPG) such as a VCR which, currently, is a big enough PITA to justify avoiding completely. ;-)I was wondering if there's any way I can control one-touch record, perhaps through some script... I guess this would be a feature request... What I mean by "control" is, I'd like to have the ability to press "R" to start a recording, and then quickly setup the length of the recording, without having to go out of liveTV and into the manual record scheduler. For example, some VCRs have a feature that if you press record multiple times, it will start cycling the record time, say 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1:30, and so on. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] updated parts / software list for HD Myth
Hi, I just joined this group and I apologize early if this gets asked by everyone who's new or if it's forbidden (please be kind, oh wise ones!), but I'm looking for a complete set of hardware / software components that are required and suggested for building out an HD MythTV box (if I can record one channel and watch a different channel at the same time, that's a plus). After spending 2 weeks reading and analyzing hardware/software suggestions, I'm at the point where I need final expert opinions. I have seen some outdated lists, a lot that isn't related to HD requirements, and a lot of back-and-forth bickering about 'that drive is crap' or 'that video card sucks', so I'm turning to the experts to settle the score. For your consideration, I have a Comcast HD digital cable box, DVID and optical out and an HDTV w/ DVID in. It would be helpful to get a list of hardware components required, and a list of the other hardware / software components you've found helpful and would suggest. If you point me to a current list for HDTV/MythTv, that would be great, otherwise just respond and I'll compile the list and post it. (And yeah, I know that I could cull the hardware list from the 200k postings on 100 different boards, but you all are the pros and I wanted to cut through the bickering and get building!). Thanks in advance!

No, there's nothing like that to my knowledge. However, if Myth is set up correctly you should NEVER run out of disk space. That's what auto-expire is for. If you're like me there are some shows you record because you really want to watch them and there are other shows you record as filler (like Cops, Simpsons, Blind Date, etc). I set all those 'filler' type shows to auto-expire and the shows I really want (Modern Marvels, Law and Order, etc) to not auto-expire but to have an episode limit (i.e. no more than 6 episodes of Law and Order). Once the episode limit is reached Myth won't record any more showings of that program until an episode is deleted (or it will delete the oldes episode and replace that with the newest one, depends how you set it up). It takes a little bit of setup time up-front and a little bit of calculating how often your favorite shows are on and how much total disk space you have, but once you get it set up correctly you should never have to worry about disk space unless you start archiving large numbers of shows.

There's no other recording happening on Friday at the same time which would interfere. (I've got dual tuners, so that wouldn't matter anyway) What I would expect to see is that Myth would record Friday's episode, and skip Monday's with an indication on Monday's schedule of "P" for "previously recorded." Does this seem like a problem to anyone else, or am I just misunderstaning how the behavior is supposed to work? Yes, there's a fine point of Myth's scheduler that you're missing. When attempting to determine which showing of an episode should be recorded, Myth looks at many factors (tuner priority, priority for that specific recording rule, channel priority, etc). I'm going to assume here that you've set the same priority for both of your recording rules. Since the rest of the details of those two rules are the same, then both the Friday and Monday episodes would have the exact same priority. When Myth sees two showings with the same priority, it prefers the one that matches the recording rule that was added first. Since you set up the Monday recordings prior to setting up the Friday recordings it's most likely choosing the Monday recording because that rule was entered first. Incidentally, you might want to remove one of those duplicate recording rules and set the other one to "Find and record one showing of this title each week". That would allow Myth to record one episode each week and still choose between the Friday and Monday showings to avoid conflicts. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] A/V Sync issues in recorded programs from PVR-500/PVR-350
For the past several weeks I've been getting A/V sync issues in some (but not all) recordings from my myth box. It was working great for over a year with just a single 350 doing recording. I added a 500 to the system and that was also functioning well for several months. Over that time I was using various versions of the ivtv driver from 0.3.2 up through 0.3.6w. I finally settled on running 0.3.6w and that was working for about 2-3 months with no problems. Suddenly, out of the blue one day, I noticed a few recordings with A/V sync issues. It appears that, at some random point during the recording, a small piece of video is missing but the audio is fine. This causes the video to be slightly ahead of the audio (anywhere from <1 to about 2 seconds). At the time I noticed this I hadn't made any recent changes to the system. Since this started I have discovered that one of the tuners on the PVR-500 is bad. I got that card replaced by Hauppage and, as of last week, installed the replacement 500. I was hoping that maybe the bad card had something to do with the issues I'm seeing, but last night I found another recording with the exact same issue. I need to go through and check the log files when the recording is happening, but it's been difficult to determine exactly when things were recorded and on which tuner. I know I haven't provided much information as I'm not at home at the moment, but I can provide any log files that might be helpful in looking into this problem. Has anyone seen similar sync issues on recordings? Oh, these are straight MPEG2 directly from the card, no transcoding is being done, only commercial flagging. Of the 8-12 recordings a day from my myth box I tend to see this problem on anywhere from 0 to 3 or 4 of the shows. I'm now running ivtv 0.3.8 and still seeing the exact same behavior. Any insight anyone might have is greatly appreciated. Brad Benson ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

On 9/6/05, Josh Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm running FC3, but I assume these parts should still be relevant: 1.) in Fedora Core 4 there is no dhcp.conf in the /etcdirectory. If I create a new one my dhcp server will not start. Where is this file located or what am Idoing wrong here The file should be called /etc/dhcpd.conf. If you can't find that, try ls -l /etc/dhcp* and see what files show up. Failing that, stop and restart your dhcp server and look in /var/log/messages for output from the server. That might give you some hints as to where it's looking for a config file. If that still doesn't help, try 'man dhcpd' or 'man dhcp'. 2.) Fedora always sets the tftp server to be a defaultof off. Where is the file to turn the default to "on" If you installed tftp from an rpm I believe it gets set up to run under xinetd. Look in /etc/xinetd.d. There should be a file called tftp (maybe tftpd). There should be several lines in this file that set various things. One of those lines should look like this: disabled = yes Change that yes to a no and restart xinet (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart) 3.) I have both the donble.bin and the dongle.bin.confin the /tftpboot directory so if my tftp server is running I should have to configure anything else.Correct? Correct, that should be all you need to do assuming that your DHCP and tftp servers are set up correctly. 4.) Which dongle.bin.conf way are you using NFS configuration:rdate -s 192.168.10.50mkdir /varmkdir /var/myth/mount -t nfs -onolock,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nfsvers=3192.168.10.50:/var/myth/ /var/myth/ mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.10.50-r /var/myth/video & Or standard configuration:rdate -s 192.168.10.50 mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.10.50& I'm using the standard configuration. My reasoning for this is that I read somewhere that mvpmc sometimes has A/V sync issues during playback and I believe it mentioned something about this being related to NFS. So I figured I'd just avoid the NFS mount and stream the video straight from the backend. I haven't been using it long enough to tell if it's having A/V sync issues or not so YMMV.

Re: [mythtv-users] safely exposing mythweb to the net.
And it also requires that you access mythweb via port 5080 which may or may not be an option for some people depending on where they plan to be connecting to mythweb from (i.e. behind a firewall at work that only allows port 80 outbound). Using apache as a proxy allows you to still access mythweb on the standard port 80 which should pretty much always be accessible.On 9/2/05, Brady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wow!

[mythtv-users] Re: Front end choice: Mac Mini versus VIA EPIA. Mac OS X remote control?
I don't have a Mac Mini, but have also considered getting one to use as a front-end. I agree that they seem to be cheaper than comparably equipped PCs, and considerably nicer. As for being quiet, they definitely are that. There seems to be some people that are reporting loud fans in some situations, but when I tried doing a few things with one I couldn't even tell there was a fan. I do think that the DVD drive may be pretty noisy though. Although, I currently have a Pundit frontend with a DVD and I don't think it could be louder than that... and even its bareable.As for remotes, there are several available - just Google and you'll turn up a bunch. I've been using my Powerbook as an occasional front-end and use Salling Clicker so that I can control it from my bluetooth phone. I also wrote a very basic action suite for Clicker that gives you basic control of MythTV, its available here (http://homepage.mac.com/bdolman/FileSharing1.html) if you want to check it out.Finally how quiet is the Mac Mini? It has a fan, which I couldn't hear in the shop, but then shops are noisy. EPIA 8000s are truly silent. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I don't have a composite out on my card, so I don't know if your problem is the same. I was finding that whenever I tried to use the SVideo out, X would crash with a signal 11 until I disabled the GLX module. Let me know if it works. It would be nice to know that somebody else on earth was having the same problem as me. Mark it used to be that the nvidia instructions dictated to comment out GLX. I assume that is still the case. BTW: Do you have two outputs on the card: an S-Video and a composite? Kinda strange since they are basically the same thing. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: Re: Fixing my "no data" problem in EPG
Thanks Chris & Michael,I don't think I'm suffering from the 11 vs 14 day problem you describe -- although I've hardly ever had a full set of EPG data, so I may be having that problem too and just haven't seen noticed it yet.The threshold that you both mention seems like the culprit to me. I checked my current listings and I have 35 channels reporting "no data" and 26 with data. So, even though there are a lot of missing channels, I guess that it is returning a high number of programs for after 6pm, so the listing isn't updated.Unfortunately, I'm not compiling from source. So I don't think I can fix this easily. I guess I'll just keep flushing my database and restore every few weeks when it starts bothering me again. Perhaps Michael's change should be merged into the release in an effort to improve this area? It seems to me that the threshold is set unnecessarily high currently.Thanks again and regards,Brad> Other solutions would be to find a way to adjust the threshold > percentage at which a day's schedule is considered complete, or to find > a way to make a certain range of future dates mandatory updates (so > that the percentage of filled time slots is not considered beyond day > 10, for example, meaning that days 2, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are all > downloaded every night). Those probably require hacking the sources. This is what I have had to recently do. mythfilldatabase was checking that there where at least 4 times as many programs starting after 6pm for a given source as there are channels. This is in programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp . After changing the code to require only twice as many programs starting after 10pm as there are channels, my problem was fixed. (My data was only missing for cable channels after 10pm). If you search for "d 18" in that file, that is the sql line that gets the number of programs starting after 6pm (18:00), and about twelve lines down is a line that ends in "chancnt * 4", that decides if there are enough programs for that source. I ran the query manually against filled schedules, and broken schedules, to come up with the timespan and multiplier that fixed my issue. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The argument may be invalid, but that still doesn't stop any of those media companies from bringing a lawsuit against the Myth community/developers. They don't have to prove that anything illegal was done, they just have to force the defendant to pay fees (lawyer, etc) that are more than the defendant can afford. Maybe if you provide, up-front, the massive cash reserves that would be needed to defend that court case someone will consider developing this, but I doubt it. Until then, I think it's very clear that the majority of the folks involved with Myth don't wany any parts of any P2P app associated with Myth and Isaac has certainly made his views on that topic very clear on repeated occasions. It's his project. If you want to play with it, you play by his rules. If you don't like those rules, find another project. I know some of that message sounds pretty harsh. I don't intend it to be insulting or anything like that. It's just that this P2P discussion comes up frequently enough that it's getting annoying to me. It has been repeatedly made clear that the people behind Myth don't want this in the current environment so why does this discussion keep happening? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] "Feature Idea - P2P" Bad Idea
Man... have to tread lightly here... I sure don't want MythTV in any crosshairs. -+- I Like My MythTV -+- (ooppss.. hope I don't get sued for that...) Evan Alter wrote: The only thing I want to add to this is that although actively promoting stealing of copyrighted material is a terrible terrible idea for MythTV to become a part of we have to keep our minds open to the legal use. For example http://www.systm.org is an online TV show that is distributed over bittorrent. So long as any p2p software is geared towards allowing people to get that kind of content is fine.

The idea of combining a media sharing applet into mythTV based on the torrent model. In other words, as you're watching a particular TV channel, you become a seed where others can watch the same channel you're watching. As others connect to your server to watch the stream, they themselves become servers which others can connect to, and the video stream would remain intact so long as the original seed continued to watch a particular station. I don't know if I'm explaining this well, or if I am, if what I'm thinking is possible, but if it were, the idea of being able to increase the number of channels you have available to could be quite exciting. Just a thought -joe ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.snowman.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users I agree with what everyone else posted about this in that it is a really bad idea to open Myth tv to P2P ?Cease and desist? orders. Having said that ? this feature is really similar to the Cybersky.tv software from germany, they have won quite a few cases in the EU courts recently because they don?t actually cache the content only pass it on. Like I said bad idea, we don?t have the funding to fight these court cases. Cheers, Dean ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
