Hi there

Just stepping in here. I just feel the need to apologize to my harsh
reply. Todd was correct in pointing out why the thread hijack took
place. I'm just used to lists where netiquette is enforced. And without
steering people in the right direction on the topics of thread
hijacking, top posting and descriptive subjects, lists become very noisy
for the person looking for info.

OK. So here is my constructive contribution.
http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php

Again. Sincere apologies. Must have been a bad day.

Deon

It is an IR LED viewed through a digital camera.

With a normal LED and IR LED it is the same. Light is on if I reverse the 
connections.
Switching it back it is off. But running irsend does send successful
according to /var/log/message, but nothing happens on the LED itself, no
flicker or on state even with SEND_START, which should be a permanent
send.

[mythtv-users] lirc_serial - All working fine accept IR LED.

2005-08-29 Thread Deon Bredenhann
Hi guru's.

Don't know where else to try. The lirc list looks a little quite.

I'm enjoying my myth box so far, but just this one piece of the puzzle
is driving me insane. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

My setup

External IR LED on a db9 female connector
http://www.irtrans.de/en/shop/cable.php

If I reverse the pins on the serial connector I get a light, so this
means that there is power.

I have a Hauppauge PVR-350. And the remote is working perfectly. So
according to my understanding, I should be able to use the config to try
and send via the serial IR.

The problem I have is, when I try to send nothing happens on the IR LED.
Everything else seems to work perfectly. No errors at all. I have no
idea how to shoot this trouble any further. Is there anyone here with
any ideas of what I can try next.

Thanx a mil.

Here is some configs,

# dmesg
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

Hi there

Please note that this is still a work in progress. But most of the
functions work for me already.

Hi there

I'm from SA and is working on this at the moment. The latest XMLTV
already supports DSTV listings. There is just a few changes you need to
make in the mysql database. I'm setting up a wiki page this weekend on
http://wiki.clug.org.za, because there is a few guy on the local list
that also need to know how.
Have a look over the weekend. Hopefully I'll start tonight.

[mythtv-users] tv_grab_za not in mythtvsetup

2005-07-01 Thread Deon Bredenhann
Hi there

I used Jarod's guide in setting up my box with a PVR350.

Now the xmltv package includes tv_grab_za, which I tested, and I get
program listings. The problem is that I cannot select tv_grab_za in
mythtvsetup.
Any idea on how I can get around this problem?

Thanx a mil.

[mythtv-users] Xine choppy video

2005-06-19 Thread Deon Bredenhann
Hi all

I'm rather new to the whole MythTV thing (This past week I installed and
played), and love it so far.
At the moment I'm only looking in to play, not recording.
Music, Video and Photo is working fine.
Now playing DVD's is the problem. When I try Xine, I get a lot of frame
loss, but the same DVD plays video fine in mplayer.
Already checked DMA and lots of Google pages later, still no answer.
How come mplayer plays it OK, but it seems like Xine is struggling.
I check CPU usage and it is running below 50% ??

My Setup
Jarods install on FC3
2.4GHz proc
512 Mb RAM
Hauppauge PVR350 running X on the 350's output.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm going slightly mad.
