Re: [mythtv-users] Mythdvd using VLC?
I'm using vlc for DVD playback with MythDVD. My command-line is simply "vlc dvd://", but I did modify the vlcrc file to set the options I wanted. I've attached mine so you can compare with yours. Also, I use 0.18.1 , not svn.On 1/1/06, Mark deJong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm sure someone has gotten mythdvd to use VLC instead of mplayer butI can't seem to get it done.

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone have Packard Bell IR Receiver and Remote Working?!

Re: [mythtv-users] lirc, mythgame and xmame
Here's the relevant portion of my .lircrc file: begin prog = xmame button = Back repeat = 0 config = 1 end begin prog = xmame button = 1 repeat = 0 config = 2 end begin prog = xmame button = 2 repeat = 0 config = 3 end begin prog = xmame button = 5 repeat = 0 config = 6 end The lirc config's are keyboard scan codes for keys, which I found here: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html So, the Back button is exit, which is Esc (scan code 1). In case you're wondering, the others are 1 (start 1 player), 2 (start 2 player), and 5 (insert coin). You also need xmame with lirc support in it, but I figured you already have that. Hope this helps.

[mythtv-users] MythGame 0.18 binary package for Debian
Does anyone know about binary packages of 0.18 for Debian that include MythGame? I've used this source for a while: deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv which works great, but it doesn't seem to have MythGame (or MythPhone, I think). I'm not sure why this is, perhaps it won't yet compile properly for a binary package? Or the developer is really busy? I emailed him too, but he never replied. Anyone?

I use the Vancouver non-digital listings (I'min Burnaby) and have noticed that some channels always go to the end of the 14th day and others always end at 17:00 on the 12th day. Thosechannels with short listings (A&E, DISC) were the ones that broke andshowed "no data" for several days. I used myth-setup to clear the listings and then ran /etc/init.d/mythfilldatabase manually, andhaven't had any problems since. Those channels still run a day and ahalf behind the rest, but they do get fresh data every night. Hey, a local! I too am in Burnaby. We should have a local MUG meetup. :) In fact, I too use an Xbox as a frontend (which I see from another thread that you do as well) so I guess that would make it an XMUG. ;) I am using the same listings as you, except only basic cable (<29). I find that the stations 17,18,19,22,25,26 all stop at 17:00 on the 12th day, as you mentioned, whereas all other stations have a full 14 days.I have run myth-setup a couple of times to clear the listings and then run mythfilldatabase manually, and it still happens to me. I don't get fresh data every night. I'm using 0.18.1, what version are you running? > Perhaps the best way for me is just to write a script to clear the credits, > people, program, programgenres, and programrating tables, and then run> mythfilldatabase to reload them.You could probably just find the location where mythfilldatabase storesits end-of-listings pointer and roll that back a few days every night before the normal run so that it gets 3 or 4 days worth of listings atthe far end of the schedule. I would expect it to fill in the holes anddiscard the duplicates Unfortunately it looks like there is no pointer, but mythfilldatabase just looks at the existing program data to determine what days it needs to download data for. For me, the missing data doesn't cause my total data for the day to drop below the threshold that mythfilldatabase uses to determine which days to download. Perhaps your's does? In case someone else has the same problem, here's how I get around it. I added this to my mythfilldatabasecron script before it runs mythfilldatabase: echo "DELETE FROM program WHERE starttime >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 11 DAY);" | mysql mythconvergecho "DELETE FROM programrating WHERE starttime >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 11 DAY);" | mysql mythconverg echo "DELETE FROM programgenres WHERE starttime >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 11 DAY);" | mysql mythconvergecho "DELETE FROM credits WHERE starttime >= DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 11 DAY);" | mysql mythconverg This removes my program data for anything older than 11 days and then when mythfilldatabase runs, it re-gets that data.

It always fills tomorrow so the info is always refreshed before theday for recording arrives. Yeah, I know. But this does lead to problems like I experienced recently, when I heard about a show later in the week and wanted to schedule it for recording. A search for the show name surprisingly came up with nothing (as that channel had No Data later in the week) and so I couldn't schedule it to be recorded. Having to wait until the day before a show airs to schedule a recording seems to defeat the purpose of having a scheduler. > What can I do to tell mythfilldatabase to retrieve data for the days> that are missing? With current svn, "mythfilldatabase --max-days 11" would preventgrabbing the last days where some channels may be missing datain the evening. I run 0.18.1, but this seems to suggest that mythfilldatabase would only grab 11 days worth of data instead of 14, right? Not an ideal situation, as I like having the data as far into the future as possible, and also I'm not sure if even 11 would be short enough. I'd rather delete the program listings and re-retrieve everything every day than do this. -- bjm___mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.orghttp://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users How do other people deal with this?

[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase shows No Data for some channels
Hello, I'm having some trouble with the proper way to run mythfilldatabase (with DataDirect) to update my listings. Right now it runs every day from cron and it gets listings 14 days into the future. However, some of the channels come back as "No Data" at around 12-14 days (I guess the listings for those channels aren't known that far into the future). As the days pass, this data propagates closer and closer to the present, even though mythfilldatabase runs every night. It doesn't re-retrieve the data for the days that are missing though, saying for example: "Data is already present for Fri Jul 15 2005, skipping". What can I do to tell mythfilldatabase to retrieve data for the days that are missing? Right now I have to run mythtv-setup and clear all my program information (or manually delete it from MySQL), and then run mythfilldatabase so that it re-retrieves everything. Is there some way to automate this? Thanks! Cam ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
