I actually thought there was something wrong with my keyboard at first when I realised that pressing "r" again didn't stop recording. I searched Google, found a keymap for mythfrontend and have only recently come to the conclusion that Myth is "weird". Whilst the premise of recording whole programmes, scheduling ones in the future, etc appears to work as designed there is a glaring oversight in not allowing "instant record on/off". Taking the music video example further, I might be casually watching the channel and come across a song that I like. Unless I am mistaken whilst I can rewind Myth back to the beginning of the song, when I hit "r" it will record from wherever "Live TV" currently is, not where the ringbuffer is positioned, plus I have to quit back to the Myth menu and manually stop it recording when the song completes, and tell it never to record the whole programme again. What if there happens to be another song in the same time period of the programme (which is easily conceivable given music programmes in the EPG can be several hours long) that I want to record? If I've set it not to record, Myth won't do anything when I hit "r". I haven't tried Windows Media Centre yet, but I'm keen to see if it is un-user friendly as Myth is when it comes to the simple premise of "record what I want right now, and stop recording when I tell you to".

Is there any way to physically delete it though so it doesn't appear in the list at all? I have recorded a music video on MTV a few times which has come on at a random time (not listed in EPG) and does not need to be repeated. In this instance all I want Myth to do is record when I hit a button, and stop recording when I hit another button. >From what I can gather once Myth starts recording (by pressing 'r') it will continue recording until the end of the "programme" which, in some music channels case, can often be several hours long (i.e. some music channels have one programme that runs 24 hours, which has lots of random songs playing). I have tried hitting 'r' again but this doesn't stop recording, I have to manually press escape, go into "Upcoming Recordings" and tell it to stop. This is less than desireable. Is there any way that Myth can just "instant record" when I tell it to, and stop when I tell it to, disregarding anything in the EPG? To give an example, on Sky+ here in the UK you have a record button on the remote control which, when pressed, records the current channel. This stops when either the programme ends, or when the user manually hits record/stop again. It isn't then added to any scheduled recordings list (why would I want to record a random piece of television again, and why would it even necessarily be on again ever at the same time, or on the same channel - in the example of a music video). Any ideas? Darren ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

RE: [mythtv-users] FC4 - Xine Install Problem - Unmet Dependencies
(sorry for top posting, blame Outlook L ) You’re probably having problems because you seem to be using the wrong repo for FC4. http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/freshrpms/ is for Fedora Core 3. Also, you’re probably better off using “yum”. A simple “yum install xine” with the correct repos would do the job. I’m using the following, albeit on kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4: xine.i386 0.99.4-1.2.fc4 installed xine-lib.i386 1.1.0-1.2.fc4 installed Both came from freshrpms and installed without any dependency issues.

(I forgot to mention I'm using a PVR 350 - so hardware encoding here). You are not going to get fluid PVR on a 1Ghz processor with software encoding - it's that simple. It doesn't matter whether its Myth, Sage, Windows Media Centre or anything else. If you truly want to watch live TV then just install xine or equivalent, and type: xine fifo://dev/video0 (or whatever ivtv creates). You won't be able to record anything, or have an EPG, or any of the other niceties that Myth provides.

RE: [mythtv-users] MythShyte: One unhappy customer
Don’t know if this will help but when I had 512MB in my system (XP 2400, Shuttle SK41G, Geforce FX5200) I would get some stuttering when the feed first started, leaving Myth about 5-6 seconds behind live TV. After swapping out the memory and replacing it with 1GB (2x512) I don’t get any stuttering at all – and Myth stays at 1 second behind Live (which is to be expected as it has to prebuffer *something*). Might be worth trying – mythbackend and mythfrontend use A LOT of memory.

I did try doing that originally, but when I had the freqid the same as the channum (e.g. 106 for Sky One) whenever I tried pressing up/down on the cursor keys, or indeed any channel navigation I just got a load of CheckChannel() error messages saying things like "No such channel 'E9'", etc. Obviously it's looking for frequencies in the "europe-west" frequency table as this was how I set it up originally, but how can I get it to just accept the channel numbers as freqids (e.g. 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 124, 127, etc) without complaining about missing channels?

[mythtv-users] Freqid and Sky Digital
Hi, Hoping someone out there can help me. I've got MythTV receiving input from a Sky Digital STB, via a Hauppauge PVR-350. The signal is coming via S-video into the S-video IN on my PVR350. Everything appears to be working correctly except for one small problem - changing channels. Running tv_grab_uk_rt does not populate any freqids in the database (wait, I know you're going to say mythfilldatabase --manual) but in actuality I don't need Myth/ivtv or whatever to "tune" to the selected station, it simply needs to send 3 numbers to the box and the box changes it. Right now when I press the arrow keys to go up or down a channel it just pauses for a while and then comes back with the same channel information. I understand from the debugging output that this is because there are missing freqids from the "europe-west" freqtable I am using (e.g. SE11, E8, etc). If I run "ptune.pl -f pal-europe-west --list-channels" I get a list of known frequency IDs. I *could* use these freqids to populate the database manually, but the problem there then is that there are only 109 known freqids, and I have - from memory - at least 160 channels in the database. All I basically want Myth to do when I type in a channel number, or press up/down on the cursor keys is to adjust the program guide and OSD accordingly. I don't need it to try and *tune* anything, since ultimately I will have to get it set up so it sends the necessary numbers down an IR "Redeye" or similar bit of kit to change it. Any ideas? I can't believe I'm the first person to hit this problem, and yet I couldn't find any specific info anywhere in the archives.
