So to use component inputs, you have to convert RGB to YPrPb (not to mention get your modelines right, which is an adventure in and of itself). I have not heard of anyone getting the ATI HDTV adapter to work in Linux. I bought a $150 transcoder from Key Digital, but you might could build one a bit cheaper.

Re: [mythtv-users] bt878, btaudio, 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 and sound cards
I have a system very similar to yours. Soyo Dragon Ultra, PVR-250 and a
PixelViewPro BT878 card.
I can get the onboard audio running, and have had the 878 card's audio
working in the past, but with the patch cable, and even that isn't working
now. I get an error about MythTV requesting a rate of 32000 and the
card reporting 44100, so with the 878, no audio. The PVR-250 works fine.
I am outputting using optical spdif to a Sony receiver, and MythVideo,
MythMusic, and MythDVD all work fine. I recompiled from cvs source
from about 2005/01/07, disabled OSS and enabled ALSA in the
settings.pro file, and in Setup | General I used ALSA:spdif as the audio
device. I use Xine for DVD and MythVideo, and you need to go into its
config screen to tell it to use ALSA Pass Through to get multichannel
sound from DVDs.
Here's my modprobe.conf, if it is any help.
Watch for line wrap, and you'll probably need to change the card= and
maybe tuner= parts of options bttv to match your card. You may want
to nix the debug=1 bits, too.
If you can get the 878 card sound working, I'd appreciate it if you send
the steps back to the list. I'll do the same if I manage it.

I only see a couple there that look useful, but I'll be sure to try them out. The big reason I was wondering if there was a Myth solution is that I'd like to remove the monitor from this system going completely with TV output, and using normal programs in the 960x540 tv screen (especially with the overscan) can be a real pain, and it will take months to capture my tape/laser library. I would rather use the hardware MPEG on the PVR, rather than put my spare PixelView into another box, and its in the Myth box. Plus, some tapes I may not archive, and would like to play them through Myth anyway, so I don't have to bother with changing TV inputs (the TV remote will eventually end up in the closet somewhere) and the cables around. Thanks for the response. Perhaps I'll look into building a module for this, as I really need to hone up on my C coding.

[mythtv-users] Getting VCR Recordings Into MythTV/MythVideo
Can anyone reccommend the best way to get recordings from a VCR into MythTV or MythVideo? I tried the following, but no luck: 1. Create new video source, called it VCR, left the data direct stuff blank, and hooked it to the composite input on the PVR-250 in the Input Connections screen 2. Defined a custom channel, pointed it to the new video source 3. Went to Watch TV, selected the custom channel 4. Pressed play on the VCR 5. After FBI warning played on the tape, I pressed R on the keyboard. OSD displayed something along the lines of [Record ""]. Since there was no guide info to tell it what the source is, or how long it would run, it apparently decided there was nothing to record, so it didn't. While this might be a decent way to allow me to run my other video sources (VHS VCR, Beta VCR - don't laugh too hard, LaserDisc) into my MythTV box, it doesn't appear to be well suited for archiving them. Is there a Myth method of doing this, or is there another program I should install to simplify this process. Just doing "cat /dev/video0 > /video/mythvideo/movie.mpg" doesn't seem like the best way to go (especially since you can't see what you are doing).

[mythtv-users] Channel Info
I started with Jarrod's guide, went to CVS just before Christmas (Dec 23rd?). Originally, I could tune all channels in my zap2it account. However, now, I can only tune a few. I have 3,6,7,8,47,49,76&77, when I should have 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,76,77 (which is in my current zap2it setup, and yes, I have the cheapest cable package possible at $7 a month). I tried running mythtvsetup (a symlink to the ./setup from my CVS build) and telling it to wipe the channel info, but it doesn't change anything. Changing from us-cable to use-cable-hrc or us-bcast does nothing but either mess up the frequencies for hrc (expected, but I tried it anyway) or drop the 7x channels (also sort of expected). I would have thought wiping the channel data in the setup program would have an effect, and it sort of does (as in the guide info changes) but the tuner (an older PVR-250) refuses to tune to 2,4,5,9,10,11,12,13 or 14, either with channel up/down or direct numeric input. Running the frontend and backend in a window doesn't give any info that is useful (to me). For instance, when I use channel up from 8, I see output that it has tried 9 through 46 and failed. I don't have 47, but because my original zap2it account had it accidentally left in, it shows up (even if I go into the channel editor and tell it that it isn't visible - that seems to only affect the guide, not the channel change in LiveTV). I realize this is a bit vague, but it is late and I don't have time right now for more details, only what I have in memory, but if someone can help based on this, I'd appreciate it. I'll be back working on this Wednesday (USC vs OK tomorrow, so I'll be watching somewhere else since I can't tune channel 10 which is where it would be here), and can provide more details then.

If I am in KDE, and open up a terminal (which on my system/theme has a white background) it never shows up. If I go into MythMusic and let the visualizations run, those with a black background usually won't show it either, unless the screen is mostly black. Same with watching a DVD. The black screens between titles that are common at the start and end of movies, it shows, as soon as a lighter screen comes up, it goes away. Using Tililvitus (sp?) theme in the MythTV menus, it never shows up. That's kind of what made me think it was black levels. Perhaps the TV thinks all black (or mostly black) is an unselected input (as if something were off or something). One other thing I have in mind to try is inverting my hsync and/or vsync. I know one of the modelines I tried took a -hsync and still displayed. Maybe that's what's triggering it. With bowl games playing (don't get me started about the TN game scheduled recording QVC instead) it won't be until Wednesday before I can work on it.

You will only be able to use remotes that use RC5 protocol with the built-in IR receiver on the PVR card, as I understand it. For others, you could build a UIR or one of the other homebrew IR receivers, or spend the bucks and get an IRMan prebuilt. Note, if you buy the IRMan, you won't be able to use any of the premade lircd.conf files, as it works differently (well, my old PixelView remote gave totally different codes, anyway). As for the tapping thing, I just do it for four or five seconds. Then wait ten seconds and it will time out and go on. I have no clue about the not reading some keys, though. >2) Anyway, ignoring that, I can't quite get the remote to work with myth >TV - the HOWTO (http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html#ss8.6) >mentions an lircrc file, but I can't find an example (lircrc.examples) >Can I have an example?

I just got mine almost working (lousy modelines giving me trouble) and didn't have to mess with more than editing the above lircrc to match my remote and the keynames I used in irrecord. It can be a pain if you have a remote with fewer keys than that, though, as the one I'm using now does.

[mythtv-users] LCD and keys

I'm wondering if there are plans to make that a menu or setup file configurable option? Having to recompile again is a bit of a pain. Also, it looks like six keys are needed, but alas, my case only has five (http://www.atechfabrication.com/images/htpc/HTPC_Case_black_157b_320.jpg but with silver buttons and powermate). For now, I'm just mapping "up" to an unused key, since all the menus seem to wrap. Also, when I first accessed MythMusic, the track info was displayed on the vfd screen, but it stopped working, and I can't figure out why.

RE: [mythtv-users] ivtv & bttv with one sound card
I would have thought so, but I can only seem to get one or the other to work, not both. Should one of them have the Audio Device set to (None) in mythtvsetup?

[mythtv-users] ivtv & bttv with one sound card
Running frontend and backend on the same machine with both a PVR-250 and BT878 card, is it possible to have only a single sound card and record sound to both cards (and possibly watch one of them while it records)? I'm running FC3, and I had tried Gentoo before. I seem to recall having a /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp1 in the Gentoo setup (but never got anything working well there). With the FC3 setup, I've tried all I can think of to get /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp1 but all I get is /dev/dsp. What am I missing?

[mythtv-users] Jarod's Guide and LCDProc
I've installed MythTV via Jarod's guide, and would like to use my MatrixOrbital VFD with MythTV. Everything I find in the archives indicates it takes a recompile. How do I go from an (almost - see previous posts) working system installed via apt-get to a compiled version without messing up everything? Or is there an LCD enabled apt-get file out there I can install? Thanks, Jeff. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Problems viewing TV
Update: It seems it was my ivtv drivers failing to load properly. After reading this thread: http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2004-July/000771.html I modified my modprobe.conf as follows (noting the PAL vs NTSC differences): # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-224 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 bttv alias char-major-81-225 bttv options bttv tuner=2 card=70 radio=1 install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install tuner && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install videodev && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7127 && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv && /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff install bttv /sbin/modprobe ivtv && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bttv && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bt878 Now, when it works (see below) I can define either card alone, and it can be used to watch live TV, or define both and it uses the first defined (I presume if it were busy recording it would fall over to the other, but haven't tested it). The only problem I have now is that when mythbackend starts at boot, if I load mythfrontend and select TV, I get an error about /dev/dsp being in use. I can then watch TV with no sound. However, if I drop to a shell and restart mythbackend, I no longer have whatever conflict there was with /dev/dsp and it works just fine. Any clues?

[mythtv-users] Problems viewing TV
Hi, this is my first post on the list. My problem is that I can't get MythTV to even display live TV, much less record anything. Here's some details: P4-2.4Ghz, 512 M RAM, Radeon 9500 Pro, 200G drive with 180G free for recording, PVR-250, PixelView Pro Rev 8E, Irman, Matrix Orbital 4x25 VF with keypad Fedora Core 3, installed Myth via Jarod's guide I can watch TV with sound (via patch cable) using TVTime. I can watch TV with no sound with xawtv. Both of these are using the PixelView card. On the PVR-250, I can cat /dev/video1 and play back the file with mplayer, although with no sound. With MythTV, when I select Watch TV, I get a blank screen for about ten seconds, then the menu comes back. I have tried with both cards defined in mythtvsetup and with each alone. Starting the frontend from a shell window, I see the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -]$ mythfrontend 2004-12-25 10:27:24 mythfrontend version: 0.16.20040906-1 www.mythtv.org 2004-12-25 10:27:24 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2004-12-25 10:27:25 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2004-12-25 10:27:25 Registering MythDVD DVD Media Handler as a media handler 2004-12-25 10:27:25 Registering MythDVD VCD Media Handler as a media handler Failed to run 'cdrecord --scanbus' 2004-12-25 10:27:25 Registering MythMusic Media Handler as a media handler SIP listening on IP Address 192.168.254.15:5060 NAT address 192.168.254.15 2004-12-25 10:27:28 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2004-12-25 10:27:36 ReadStringList timeout (quick) 2004-12-25 10:27:36 Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION: 2004-12-25 10:27:36 Changing from None to None I can understand the cdrecord failure: I don't have a burner. I've Googled for issues, and find this, which is identical. http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2004-March/035859.html I didn't find a resolution for it, though. Can anyone point me to a possible solution? Thanks, Jeff. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
