[mythtv-users] Mythweb - searching music - .18.1 code avaliable
I noticed that Mythweb already had a bunch of code writen to support filters against the music list but didn't seem to be making use of it.. So I changed my version of mythweb to use that code. It allows filtering your music library by Title, Artist, or Genre. If you want the code, just send me a note off line. If there's any significant interest, I'll post it to the list. I head that Mythweb was in the middle of a rewrite, so I don't think it has much value to too long. But for those of us living in an 18.1 world, it's a very nice feature. Also, I hacked up the code to 'hide' recordings of category 'Adults Only' and in recording group 'Other', making the recording list a bit more family friendly. If you want this code, again, just ask. The proper solution would be to only display it if they enter the password for the recording group, just like in the frontend, but I thought this simple hack was good enough for me. Thanks to all developers and contributers for such a fantastic open source solution. -- Don Brown ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] FC-4 installation - Got my remote to work
I finally got my remote to work, although, I don't know why this fixed it. The box is fairly new, with FC-4 and mythtv installed from scratch (using Jarod's howto, again, very nice job). After installing the lirc package, I couldn't get the remote to work after rebooting. The problem was very similar to this tread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/165632?search_string=LIRC%20not%20working%20within%20Myth;#165632 Anyhow, after lots of reading I found a couple of posts with similar problems. At their suggestion, I ended up adding this to /etc/rc.local, and now it seems to work, although I don't know why. Added to /etc/rc.local /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c /sbin/chkconfig lircd on /sbin/service lircd start Another note, I did this to get the ntp service to run. It didn't seem to want to work after turning it on through the X configuration. # /sbin/chkconfig ntpd on # /sbin/service ntpd start Don PS - I made a couple of posts earlier in the month that came across rather poorly (even I didn't like them after reading them online).

[mythtv-users] Mythweb - searching music - how?
I'm using Myth 18.1 (on FC3) and mythweb 18.1 I'm using mythweb and I'm trying to search my music files. I poke into the code and I see all the filterAlbum, filterArtist, etc. But I can't find any interface to actually make use of the filters other than playlist. There are 2 dropdowns on near the top of the screen. The first has my defined playlists, the second only has "View playlist or Summary", no matter what I pick in the first dropdown. If I add in "&filterArtist=John, Elton" to the URL, sure enough, only the Elton John songs. So, the power is there. How do I "release the power within" ? :-) Don ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: FC-4 installation - Are these dead symlinks wrong?
On the other distro thing, anything is possible, but the box has been built from scratch. I may have grabbed something from an alien location, but I don't remember doing it. On deleting the broken symlinks, I assumed you meant both the K... and S... symlinks for lirc. I got rid of all the lirc symlinks on /etc/rc0.d through /etc/rc6.d (both K... and S... on each). Then I ran: /sbin/chkconfig --add lircd This gave me the K... simlinks on all the rc*.d directories (0 - 6) And # /sbin/chkconfig lircd --list lircd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off So I ran: /sbin/chkconfig lircd on And now I have: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rc2.d]# /sbin/chkconfig lircd --list lircd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off So now I have: K10lircd on rc0.d, rc1.d, and rc6.d S90lircd on rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, and rc5.d Which, I guess looks correct, but after reboot, it still does the same thing. So, what causes this: # /sbin/service lircd status lircd dead but subsys locked Thanks again for all the help, Don ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Re: FC-4 installation - Are these dead symlinks wrong?
Thanks for the explanation, I think I have a false alarm, mostly. Each of the directories does have an start "S..." symlink. I have both of these in each of the directories (2 through 5): lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 15 Dec 16 17:23 S90lircd -> ../init.d/lircd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 Dec 11 18:37 K71lirc -> ../init.d/lirc Maybe that explains why it fails to stop the service during a reboot? Anyhow, to answer your first question: > What do you get if you run: > > /sbin/service lircd status # /sbin/service lircd status lircd dead but subsys locked And, yup, the resource lock file is there. The creation date matches my last reboot: ls -color /var/lock/subsys/lircd -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Dec 17 23:07 /var/lock/subsys/lircd This looks bad. Is it?

[mythtv-users] FC-4 installation - Are these dead symlinks wrong?
I'm working on getting the remote control to work on my FC-4 installation (Jarods guide, very nice). I don't think lircd is starting properly. Could this be the reason? # /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep lirc lircd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Using "ls -color" to check each of the rc*.d directories I get this on each of the "on" directories. Each is highlighted in red, which /etc/DIR_COLORS defines as a dead symlink. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 Dec 11 18:37 K71lirc -> ../init.d/lirc And, /etc/init.d/ does not have a lirc file, but it does have a lircd file. Should the symlink be pointing to /etc/init.d/lircd instead? If so, how do I correct it?

[mythtv-users] scheduled recordings yield occasional oddball
I'm running Mythtv ver 0.18.1.20050523-1 with FC4 on an Dell Intel P4. I run a scheduled recording (Letterman) M-F and automatically transcode. Problem is that there is almost always a recording of the five weekly that is between 37 and 38 minutes in length versus the norm of 60 minutes. I haven't tracked it closely enough to be sure but it seems to always be either the Thursday or Friday show that is short. Here is something odd (to me), Nautilus file browser lists all recorded shows as nuv documents. If I highlight over one of these odd recordings, the file type changes from nuv document to MPEG video. File size is 1.4GB, normal is usually a little less, say 1.2GB. I ran this file through Avidemux thinking that maybe I'd see the lost content but did not. However I did check the file properties and found that the odd file is different from the normal files. Under Codec4cc the "short" file is MPEG while a normal recording is XVID "short" file audio bitrate is 48000 bps/384kbps normal file is 16000 bps/128kbps Any idea what is happening?

[mythtv-users] 150 or 150MCE

[mythtv-users] Mythburn - so close
I've installed mythburn and have it 90% working.
The DVD's are perfectly usable, but the last remaining problems is on the
menu, there are only green squares where the episode preview pics should be.
I've tried it with and without the 'animated menu' checkbox checked.
Now, when I look in mythburn.log, I see this:
Extracting video thumbnails for animated menu
tc_memcpy: using mmxext for memcpy
(decode_mpeg2.c) video write failed.
(demuxer.c) write program stream packet: Broken pipe
and yet, in the mythburn.sh script, I see:
transcode -q 0 -i ${tempdir}/${file} -x vob,null -y jpg,null \
-o ${tempdir}/${page}_${index}/V -Z 140x105 \
--progress_off ${blueface} ${flip_thumbnails}\
--nav_seek ${tempdir}/${file}.tcindex \
-c 2000-$((2000 + maxanimframes))
which has no pipes to break. Hum
The tmp directory is owned by apache, so the line above transcode should have
no problem creating the directories.
Another thing that is just a preference item is that all the choices for the
"menu selection image" all have only red and black. I was thinking a yellow
border 4 or 5 pixels wide would be easy to see and closer to a standard
selection on a purchased DVD. Perhaps it will be clear when I get the preview
working - right now, there's no visual indicator at all which chapter is
selected.
Anyway, thanks for reading this far. Your help is always appreciated.

[mythtv-users] Is MythTV the right tool for the job?
I've been interested in build a DVD library, streamer, and after discovering MythTV, I figured I build a Myth Box, build and use the MythDVD plugin, and life would be good. A week later, after fighting constantly with the the prerequesites for MythDVD, like ffmpeg, I'm wondering if I've choosen the correct tool for the job. What I'm interested in, is: Be able to burn my DVD collection to a streaming media server. Have a HTPC at my TV. Have On Screen menus for selecting DVDs Have the ability to schedule "broadcasting" or a playlist of shows. Retain the 5.1 or greater sound capabilities. What I really don't need is: The ability to record in any way, TV. I already can extract DVDs to disk, and play them via VLC. I'm just looking for a nice menu / scheduler / streamer package to wrap around that. Is there something out there I should be looking at instead of Myth? Or is Myth still the best choice.

[mythtv-users] Adding item to display harddrive temps in Info-Center system Status
I've searched the archives and /usr/share/mythtv/*.xml files and I cannot determine how I could possibly add the output from hddtemp as a new item in the list of things to select in the System Status. I've setup myth (0.18.1) from atrpms, so perhaps it's a source code change. If it is, I'll poke around in the SVN source code, but I'd appreciate someone telling me if it can be done via the xml files. Or perhaps I could take a different approach and write the output from hddtemp into the log table, then use the 'display log', but that seems so, um, indirect and unnatural.

[mythtv-users] Fullscreen SNES games. Howto
I've wanted to do this for awhile, but never bothered checking it out until now. I'm using Myth 18.1 on FC3, and the snes9x emulator. AFAICT, to run in fullscreen mode, snes9x needs to access the memory directly. It wants access to /dev/mem. First thought was to 'chmod 0666 /dev/mem' (as root of course), but that didn't make any difference. Next thought was to run snes9x as root. AND IT WORKED. so, to make this run from the mythgame interface, I ran the program as root, via 'chmod 4755 /usr/bin/snes9x' which sets the user sticky-bit, so it runs as the owner (root on my machine) And all was well in my world. Now, you're running a program that directly access memory as root. Is this a good idea? Hell no. Is it worth worrying about? I'll leave that up to you. You must decide if you want to take the security risk compared to the full-screen enjoyment.

[mythtv-users] Fw: What's the default MythVideo playback settings for mplayer?
For others searching with a similar problem, I'll answer my own question: To get xine to work with all those codecs downloaded and set-up for mplayer, edit ~/.xine/config and uncomment the 2 lines that point to the codec locations for Quicktime and Windows codecs (search for decoders). Then, ensure you have no typos in the default player settings for Videos in Setup->Media Settings->Videos Settings and enjoy! My mistake was typing -lo-logo instead of --no-logo. PS. If you want to play files using all the various windows and quicktime codecs, but have not yet installed them, follow the instructions to download and install either 'all' or 'essential' codecs (don't need both) from: http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html (they work perfectly for xine as well as mplayer) Don -- Forwarded Message --- From: "Don Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mythtv Users" Sent: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 13:15:13 -0600 Subject: What's the default MythVideo playback settings for mplayer?

[mythtv-users] Jitter in playback after using Nuvexport
I've done some searching on this but not found anything lately that matches this problem. I capture a two hour show, mark the cut points, and process the file with nuvexport ( MPEG2 -> MPEG2 cut only). On playback, it works perfectly until about 2/3 through the show, then it starts to jitters slightly. The audio is still perfect, but the video is acting like it's missing frames. It continues to get worse as the show plays and is unwatch-able toward the end. The original show (commercials and all) plays fine throughout the end. Anyone have any ideas on what to look for?

[mythtv-users] Qt Problem on FC3 - Is there any solution at this point?
Please read the whole post before flaming. thx. I've been following the mailing list since 0.16 was fresh. I'm running 0.18.1 on FC3 using the kde-redhat repos. I've seen tons of questions about the CNTL-Enter problem on FC3. I'm using CTRL-Enter, but it's a pain in the rear. Seaching the archives yields Jarod's message about reverting to either 3.3.3-8 or, if your using kde-redhat respositories, 3.3.4-2.0.3.kde I'm using the kde-redhat repositories, so I tried apt-getting the kde version, but it doesn't exist in any repository on my huge list (yes, I've got kde-redhat.atrpms.net and apt.kde-redat.org repos in my list.) So, a google search yields 1 hit, a header, for which there is no rpm in the appropriate directory. So, I tried the qt-1:3.3.3-8 which kindly removed a few usefull things such as kde and assorted other things. So, in short, is there an actual fix to this or is everyone simply living with it? From the sounds of various list entries, the QT team isn't even working on it, so it looks like it's not even going to be fixed in the future. Although it appears to be redhat packaging problem more than a problem for the qt team. So If I understand correctly, that means either live with it for the foreseeable future or switch distros, right? It's not big enough an issue to me that I would bother to change distros, but it certainly IS annoying. So I need to live with it, right? I guess what I'd really like is a link to the qt-1:3.3.4-2.0.3.kde and qt-MySql rpms, but google can't find them, nor did they come up on rpmfind.net Thanks everyone and sorry for beating this thing to death.

[mythtv-users] Slight Theme adjustment, for slightly color blind person
I have a slight color deficency - and I find it very hard to tell the difference between the currently selected option and non-selected options in menus (and on the Next, Cancel, and Back buttons on the setup screens). I'm currently using a customized version of MythCenter (for 0.17 on FC2).

I've done lots of customization on the theme, but I cannot, for the life of me, find where this is set. I've looked at other themes too, which have different colors, but I cannot find where these colors are set. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Don PS.

[mythtv-users] Tv out on Pvr350 used to work, but I broke it?
This is a long story, so I'll try to keep short. I had separate X servers running on my pc monitor and the Pvr350's tvout port (to connected tv). The GUI image was too large for the TV, so I tried to correct it. Most attempts didn't work, but they didn't hurt anything. After trying this suggestion: . Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and in the [server-Standard] section, change: command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 to command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -audit 0 .. From: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/109220?search_string=gdm.conf;#109220 , the pc locked up and had to be hard reset. After rebooting, xorg.conf and gdm.conf were both trashed (garbage throughout). I got xorg.conf restored from a backup, and got a clean (??) copy of gdm.conf from another pc. Now, I can run either server, but not both at the same time. Here are some symptoms: - Run X on pc monitor only, works and mythtv plays on pvr350 tvout port - Run X on pvr350 tvout, works and mythtv plays on tvout port - Run both from a clean boot, computer freezes (needs hard reset) But, if I do this, both work once. - Run X on pc monitor only - Play live tv on mythtv on on pvr350 tvout - Logout of X, turn both servers back on, startx again - X runs on both, but: - at startup the tv speaker buzzes - Tv shows the X session for a couple of seconds, goes blank - Move mouse over to Tv display, and X session is repainted wherever the mouse is moved. - Play live tv on pvr350 tvout, it works - Logout of X - Run X again, computer freezes Any suggestions on what to try?

[mythtv-users] mythweb serving up recordings - protocol mixmatch
I compiled Myth version 16 from CVS. Then, when I moved to .17, I simply used Axels RPM packages. Seaching the archives, the usual case for protocol mismatch on a single FE/BE machine is issues with different versions in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin (and likewise with /usr/lib). Based on the dates of the files, I determined that /usr/bin was the atrpms version (.17) and the /usr/local/bin was the default for the old 16 CVS version. Okay. So I renamed all the /usr/local/bin/myth* to /usr/local/bin/myth*16 and renamed /usr/local/lib/myth to be /usr/local/lib/myth16. I rebooted to ensure I was loading all the correct modules and running the new executables. All is fine. I have full access to all myth features. MythWeb even works almost perfectly. However when I click on a recording, (myth://192.168.2.99:6543/2004_blah.nuv) I get, on the windows client, a network error, and on the mythbackend.log, the following error: MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 13 but we speak 14! "we" in that message appears to be mythbackend, (obvious I know, but hang on). So that means that something in mythweb seems to be running an old version. Now, in mythweb, the includes/mythbackend.php has PROTO set to 14, so that seems right. And as for the RPMs I have installed, I've got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] includes]$ rpm -qa | grep myth mythtv-theme-sleek-0.35-2.at mythmkmovie-1.0.1-3.rhfc2.at mythtv-theme-visor-0.16.2-5.at mythtv-themes-0.17-97.rhfc2.at mythgallery-0.17-69.rhfc2.at mythtv-suite-0.17-50.at mythtv-theme-MediaCenter-0.17-2.at mythvideo-0.17-65.rhfc2.at mythtv-theme-MythCenter-0.17-1.at mythtvsetup-0.17-97.2.rhfc2.at mythtv-theme-purplegalaxy-0.20031214-3.at mythtv-theme-isthmus-0.20040804-1.at mythtv-backend-0.17-97.rhfc2.at mythweather-0.17-65.rhfc2.at mythmusic-0.17-68.rhfc2.at mythbrowser-0.17-32.rhfc2.at mythtv-theme-photo-4-6.at mythtv-0.17-97.rhfc2.at mythtv-frontend-0.17-97.rhfc2.at mythnews-0.17-38.rhfc2.at mythdvd-0.17-49.rhfc2.at mythweb-0.17-64.at mythtv-theme-gant-0.pr1-2.at libmyth-0.17-97.rhfc2.at mythphone-0.17-10.rhfc2.at mythtv-theme-abstract-0.20040910-2.at mythgame-0.17-67.rhfc2.at Any pointers on where to look next?

Sorry for my lack of response from all the great information, I had to work on taxes for the last week. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

Unfortunately, I was having so much trouble with the picture quality that I gave up on the TV-out port of the Nvidia s-video out port and experimented with the Pvr350's s-video port, which looks pretty good.

[mythtv-users] MythWeb Remote Control extention. (OT?)
When I first heard of this extention to the MythWeb interface I got excited that I would be able to use my PocketPC as a remote control for myth (It's a Dell X5 and the IR is not strong enough to use one of the avaliable Remote Control programs unless I'm 2 feet from the reciever). However, I've not been able to get this extention to work properly. The webpage appears fine, but clicking on the buttons does nothing. For those of you who have not checked out this module, it uses 'sendxevent' in from a CGI script to send key presses to the 'CurrentWindow' on :0.0 If I run the script that gets called from the CGI script as mythtv (the user logged on to kdm and the preson running mythfrontend), it works fine. When I run it from the web page, I get the error: Xlib: connection to "mythtv.mydomain:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Can't open DISPLAY. Googling has implied this is an X security issue, and that it should be solved by running 'xauth +' (as mythtv). However, this did not solve the problem for me.

The only reason I asked the question regarding KnoppMyth was because you
suggest it.
Before I would tell you to install knoppmyth, please answer:
1) Does /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log exist / have anything in it?
2) What does /etc/init.d/mythbackend contain?
3) Have you run the database setup sql script as detailed in

Can someone please help me with this.
All I need mysql for is to run mythtv.
To use SET PASSWORD on Unix, do this:
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'host_name' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
In the second SET PASSWORD statement, replace host_name with the name of
the server host. This is the name that is specified in the Host column
of the non-localhost record for root in the user table. If you don't
know what hostname this is, issue the following statement before using
SET PASSWORD:
mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;
Look for the record that has root in the User column and something other
than localhost in the Host column. Then use that Host value in the
second SET PASSWORD statement.
mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;
+---++
| Host | User |
+---++
| % | mythtv |
| localhost ||
| localhost | root |
+---++
There is no 'root' with something else for a host.
How do I solve this?

Most likely you can find out the hostname by executing 'hostname'
(without the quotes) from the command line on the machine that is
running mysql.
mysql> hostname;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'hostname' at line 1
My posting without a subject was not intentional.
I was moving to fast and didn't read the notice.
Also, in the future you should NEVER send a post to the list with no
subject line. It just so happens that I'm bored at the moment and was
curious what was in your post, but nine times out of ten no one is
going to read the post, let alone replay to it, if you don't include a
subject line giving at least a vague idea of what your question is.

[mythtv-users] (no subject)
Can someone please help me with this.
All I need mysql for is to run mythtv.
To use SET PASSWORD on Unix, do this:
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'host_name' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
In the second SET PASSWORD statement, replace host_name with the name of
the server host. This is the name that is specified in the Host column
of the non-localhost record for root in the user table. If you don't
know what hostname this is, issue the following statement before using
SET PASSWORD:
mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;
Look for the record that has root in the User column and something other
than localhost in the Host column. Then use that Host value in the
second SET PASSWORD statement.
mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;
+---++
| Host | User |
+---++
| % | mythtv |
| localhost ||
| localhost | root |
+---++
There is no 'root' with something else for a host.
How do I solve this?

[mythtv-users] Possible root cause for frontend/backend crashes
Hello, I'm new to this list, so I appologize in advance if this information is old news. I have found that the main cause of MythTV crashing on my system (both the frontend and the backend) is a seg fault in the MySQL library function my_strcasecmp_8bit(). After recompiling MythTV with various option combinations and having no luck, I tried a Google search and found a link to this official MySQL bug report <http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=7344>. It appears this is a known problem in MySQL and is triggered by the specific usage patterns of the QT library. The problem still exists in version 4.1.10a of MySQL, but will be fixed in 4.1.11. I hope this information relieves someone else of the many hours of frustration that I had while trying to get MythTV up and running for the first time. -don- Arch Linux 0.7; MythTV 0.17; MySQL 4.1.10a; QT 3.3.4; nVidia FX5200 (S-Video out); Hauppauge PVR-350 -- pgp1VhexVRFsc.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: Is this a memory leak?
OK, maybe I sent everyone on a wild goose chase. Somebody tell me if this makes sense: - Start X, Mythbackend, Mythfrontend, and start to play live TV, all is fine. - Watch memory and it grows to almost max, but mythfrontend doesn't increase. - Stop movie and memory returns to normal. - Start live TV again and let it run. Memory grows to max, then swapping starts. Is the memory growth due to buffered-up video (which is used for jumping back)? If that's the case, then this is perfectly normal operation. Or, is there a limit on the amount of ram that mythfrontend should consume during playback? It's starting to sound like my freezing problem is caused by something else? Comments?

[mythtv-users] Is this a memory leak?
I'm having a problem with mythfrontend freezing, well, actually it locks up the entire computer. It can play live TV for 30 to 120 minutes before it freezes. The same thing happens with recorded movies. It seems to be memory related. I ran the K performance monitor. Results are: - the machine starts with 380 Meg of ram. - start X and memory stabilizes, running at about 139 Meg, - start mythbackend, it uses about 10 meg of memory and stabilizes. - start mythfrontend, it uses about 35 meg of memory and stabilizes. - Play live TV and memory slowly ramps up to just under maximum available. This takes about 10 minutes. - Leave it playing and I see memory bobbling around 4 meg under max. - If I leave it running like this, it will eventually freeze the machine (press reset button to recover). During the ramp up to max: - Stop playing live TV and memory return to normal (usually). - Start playing live TV again and memory ramps up to max. - While memory is ramping up, change channel and it levels out for about 2 minutes, then starts to ramp up again. Most of my experience says this is a memory leak. Anyone have an idea of what to do?

Yes, it needs firmware (and it's not that obvious). The manual way to do it is to run: ivtvfwextract.pl FirmwareFileName , where FirmWareFileName is the name of the firmware file you downloaded from: http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=Drivers+and+Firmware Generally, this is done during the installation of the driver, which is probably handled in one of the rpm's mentioned by Axel. If you do it manually, you need to figure out what driver version, kernel module patch file, and firmware versions to use.

It looks something like this: - On my system, I have to be logged-in as root in order to access the mysql database (which is where the password is located).

Re: [mythtv-users] Cursor disappears when overtop ofmythfrontend
Uuuuhh, ok, cool ;-). Then this falls firmly under the category of "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Works for me.

[mythtv-users] Re: Connection problem
I just took a quick look to see what that error was about. Here's what
I found:
- The connection may be working fine.
- It's doing a check on protocol compatibility before proceeding (a good
thing to do).
- This check throws an error if it doesn't understand the response from
the backend, which is what I would expect if the protocol doesn't match.
It seems that the backend is a different version than what mythweb is
expecting. And probably different enough that it doesn't even
understand the answer.
Here's the function that's returning the error:
...
check_proto_version:
Check that we are speaking a version of the protocol that is
compatible
*/
function check_proto_version($fp) {
global $MYTH_PROTO_VERSION;
$our_version = $MYTH_PROTO_VERSION;
$cmd = "MYTH_PROTO_VERSION " . $our_version;
$response = explode(backend_sep, backend_command2($cmd, $fp));
if ($response[0] == "ACCEPT")
return;
if ($response[0] == "REJECT")
{
trigger_error("Incompatible protocol version (mythweb=" .
$our_vers
return;
}
trigger_error("Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION '" .
$cmd . "'
}
/*
.
Mythweb is expecting the backend protocol version to be 13.
>From line 15 of mythbackend.php:
...
// MYTH_PROTO_VERSION is defined in libmyth in
mythtv/libs/libmyth/mythcontext.
// and should be the current MythTV protocol version.
$MYTH_PROTO_VERSION = "13";
...
So, looking for mythcontext:
#locate mythcontext
, mine is located on:
/usr/local/include/mythtv/mythcontext.h
, and here's the line from mythcontext.h that defines the version (line
114)
#define MYTH_PROTO_VERSION "13"
So, go look at your mythcontext.h to see what version it is. Don't know
if this helps, but it might be a good start. Good luck,
Don

[mythtv-users] Re: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
"Select NULL" works for me when I run it manually: . #mysql -umythtv -pmythtv mysql> SELECT NULL; +--+ | NULL | +--+ | NULL | +--+ 1 row in set (0.09 sec) mysql>quit # . So, it sounds like Mysql is giving you a connection error when the program tries to kick it (sounds like a keep-alive sort of function), which is what you suspected in the first place. Uuuhh, ok, I've never seen mysql timeout like that before, even when I haven't used it for days, but, I don't have any power saver features running, other than defaults. Here's some threads that might help: Variable that can be set in Mysql: http://rucus.ru.ac.za/docs/mysql/SHOW-VARIABLES.html Setting mysql server variables: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Server_system_variables.html Setting wait_timeout variable: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/176811 I know none of this sounds simple, but it's all I could come up with.

[mythtv-users] Cursor disappears when overtop of mythfrontend
I run mythfrontend and the program works fine, except the cursor (pointer arrow) disappears whenever it's on the gray background of the window. The keyboard works fine, the cursor reappears when it's over the window border at the top. No other program windows do this. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks, Don ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
