 Subject: [mythtv-users] Restoring an LVM
 
 
 I was trying to upgrade my mythtv box from FC2 to 3 and most 
 everything
 has went well so far.
 I realize I probably shouldn't of did a clean install of FC3 and only
 did an upgrade but I hosed some viewing settings up pretty good and
 just wanted to do mostly a new install.  
 
 I've done a new install in the past and was able to keep my myth lv. 
 But this time something seems to be different.  
 After doing the install I made sure the lv was there by doing an fdisk
 print which showed
 
 /dev/hdd1   *   1255020482843+  83  Linux
 /dev/hdd225512615  522112+  82  Linux swap
 /dev/hdd32616   19457   135283365   8e  Linux LVM
 
 I then tried a pvcreate /dev/hdd3
 which gave me some weird errors.  I wish I would of saved 

would have (sorry that really annoys me that one)

 them.  But in
 my rush to get them working I didn't:-/  After messing around I then
 did a vgcreate VGforMyth -s 64m /dev/hdd3
 It seemed to go ok
 
 I then tried a lvcreate --name av --size 120G VGforMyth
 which went ok also
 
 After creating a mount directory /var/av I get the following 
 error with
 trying to mount with 
 mount -t xfs /dev/VGforMyth/av /var/av
 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/VGforMyth/av,
or too many mounted file systems
 
 Did I just totally hose all of my stuff on my lvm?
 

I'd say you've stuffed it all. With a new install, you should need to do
anything except provide a mount pount in /etc/fstab. The lvcreate/pvcreate
etc is not necessary. Basically you've gone and repartitioned your drive
(not exactly, but close)

All that is needed something like

# LVM initialization, take 2 (it could be on top of RAID)
if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then
action $Setting up Logical Volume Management: /sbin/vgscan 
/sbin/vgchange -a y
fi

This is from RH7.3 so it's definitely in FC3 (and FC4 since I use FC4).

 I've noticed that mythfilldatabase uses practically 100% CPU

 This would push
 your load average up.
 

No as you can see in my top listing.

[mythtv-users] FC4 High Load Average

2005-08-05 Thread Christian Hack
I recently reinstalled my system from scratch using Fedora Core 4 and
Jarod's guide (thanks Jarod). Everything installed with basically no
hitches. The machine is an XP2400 + nForce 1 motherboard + Nvidia GF 440MX
with 2 Hauppauge Nova-T DVB cards. I'm using the nvidia drivers from atrpms
and the DVB drivers which came with FC4. 3 x 120GB drives are LVMed to make
one small system partition (10GB) and one large storage partition. DMA is
definitely on on all drives.

Now when watching something and transcoding another program in the
background I'm seeing load averages up around the 4, 5 and 6 mark. 
This starts to make the playback framerate stutter a bit. Sound is
unaffected, but the picture is a bit jerky.

Just playback of a something currently recording (about 22-25% CPU) results
in peak load averages up around the 3 mark. It fluctuates anywhere between
0.5 and 3 though. No playback (but still recording) and the average drops
down to 0.1 as expected. From top:

Before this I had Redhat 8.0 and was using a fairly recent CVS version of
Myth on the exact same hardware and I never saw these high load averages.

Any ideas what would cause loads this high?

 Has any got this combo working without compiling kernels and drivers?
 
 I clean installed FC4 last night and followed Jarod's FC3 
 guide all the way
 up to installing mythtv from atrpms. A few unrelated glitches but all
 sorted.
 
 DVB Drivers seem to be built in and I can see both my cards 
 being detected
 fine in the dmesg output out of the box. The only thing I had 
 to add was the
 firmware in /lib/firmware. After I did that I can see the 
 firmware load was
 successful in the logs when Myth or dvbtune try to access the card.
 
 However, I can't tune. Tried both dvbtune and Myth's DVB scanner (in
 mythtvsetup). They open the card successfully but seem unable 
 to tune to
 anything. It just shows a BER of 1fffe constantly and 
 occasionally random
 signal blips.
 
 The exact same hardware (reboot on another drive) works on a 
 very old RH8
 install I've had running fine for quite a while now. I just 
 want/need to
 upgrade to the latest Myth which is starting to require newer QT, php
 (Mythweb) etc.
 
 If you've got this working is there something I might have 
 missed? Apart
 from this everything has basically just worked. Or do I need 
 to install and
 compile a custom kernel, drivers etc? It would be nice if this wasn't
 necessary of course.
 
 I don't quite understand this new udev stuff so I'm not sure 
 if what I'm
 seeing is correct in /dev and whether my udev is correct. I 
 suspect it's
 something to do with that.
 

Answering my own problem. It seems the DVB stuff just didn't want to scan.
After entering a frequency AND bandwith it correctly tuned and detected the
PIDs. It still didn't scan though. I had to enter each frequency
individually.

It didn't tune all channels successfully however but that might have beena
reception issue. 

Instead my solution was to copy my entire old DB over instead. Means I kept
all my settings as well not having to retune any channels.

So FC4 + DVB + Nvidia out is possible with out any compiling whatsoever.

 Can I just use mysqldump to create insert statements for the

Basically all here:

Do the dump of old DB and move the files (if necessary). Import the dump

[mythtv-users] DVB channels get changed in DB (Autopid?)

2005-05-30 Thread Christian Hack
The channels in my DB (channel table) keep getting changed by the backend. I
assume this is something to do with the Autopid feature I see mentioned in
the logs.

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I have my channels set up
the way I want them, and these changes leave fields like xmltv id blank and
also include all the extra streams which are merely copies of the main
stream. So I end up with 30 odd channels when really there's only about 8
distinct ones (Brisbane, Australia).

Also it would seem some dvb related tables are no longer used/required?
dvb_pids seems to be unused.

RE: [mythtv-users] A/V diverged by -3 frames

2005-01-04 Thread Christian Hack
(top posting...)

I found that Isaac merged some libavcodec/ffmpeg stuff in about the 24th
December 04. I went back to just before that and it's working fine at the
moment. I haven't had time to narrow it down any further, but if you take
CVS from say 26th it should be bad and from the 23rd it should be good (to
counter timezone issues, not sure how CVS works in that respect)

As far as I am aware no one has attempted to fix it. I guess there are only
a few Australian CVS users?

One slightly interesting thing is that it appears on my one and only UHF
channel only. All VHF channels are fine.

You describe WIN, SBS and PRIME which suggests you are in a regional area.
They are usually UHF right? Are your ABC and 10 VHF?

Don't know how that could possibly make a difference to the MPEG2 stream,
but it's an interesting occurrence.

[mythtv-users] A/V diverged by -3 frames

2004-12-27 Thread Christian Hack
Using the libav option on mythfrontend (very recent CVS), I'm getting jerky
playback on one channel (SBS for the Australians) which seems related to
these error messages. It also seems that the pitch of the sound is off by
small fraction - slightly deeper. Using video as timebase results in exactly
the same result.

Note it mentions -3 frames and a frame rate of ~22fps.

Other channels work fine and only report the A/V diverged initially but sync
quickly and report 25fps from then on.

Using other channels I get the +3 frames and associated jerkiness _when_ I
select video as the timebase. Without using the video timebase option they
run as good as possible and report a pretty solid 25.0x fps.

Any ideas what's wrong? Could the latest libavcodec sync have buggered
things? This used to work before.

 Subject: [mythtv-users] Can't get PAL modelines to work in X
 
 
 I googled around and found some X modelines for use with PAL TVs. All
 of the ones I found were the same so I figured it would work on any
 TV. However, they're getting rejected by X - the following lines
 appear in Xorg.0.log:
 
 (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode 640x480PAL (vrefresh out of range)
 (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode 720x576PAL (vrefresh out of range)
 (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode 800x600PAL (vrefresh out of range)
 
 Extracts from my xorg.conf look like this:
 
 Section Monitor
 Identifier   Monitor0
 VendorName   Philips
 ModelName80cm TV
 HorizSync30.0 - 50.0
 VertRefresh  60.0 - 60.0

Like the errors say, your vertical refresh is out of range. You are
specifying 50Hz modes but also that your Monitor (i.e. TV) is only capable
of 60Hz. Try changing the VertRefresh line to VertRefresh  50.0 - 60.0
instead

 This is at least part of your problem... your video is at 
 25Hz but your 
 screen is at 60 Hz.  50 or 75 Hz would work much better.
 
 I would guess that maybe your soundcard is using 44100 Hz 
 output as well?
 

Same deal although 50Hz +  realtime has made my tickers and panning etc go
much smoother. Don't know why I didn't try that before. Thanks for the
suggestion.

It's just the one channel, and it appears that once transcoded to MPEG4 they
play fine. So it's something to do with the MPEG2 from the DVB card. I can
host a stream of it if someone wants to look. It's obviously very big though
and I only have 128kb/s upstream.

I'm not sure about the soundcard. It's an nVidia nForce 1. How can I check
the audio rate? All the other channels broadcast 48kHz and are fine. Using
video as the timebase makes gives the +3 frames error and is noticeably
jerky on otherwise good channels. Audio as timebase is by far the best
solution so far.

 BTW, timer method (e.g. RTC) is orthogonal to realtime scheduling.
 

Now you've confused me with orthogonal. According to dictionary.com adj

So it would seem RTC has nothing to do with the realtime scheduling
mentioned in the docs?
