[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] 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: Mythburn - reverse order
I had a similar problem. When to change the code and realized it was already there! Just click on the heading you wish to sort on, in the recording selection screen. Clicking the same column will reverse the order. It defaulted to newest episode first, which was backwards from what I wanted. Hope this helps, Don ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[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] 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] 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). What I would like to do is to darken the unselected items in the menus so I can more easily tell which one is currently selected. 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. I'm view the mailinglist via digest mode, so I'd appreciate a answer to me as well as the list. Otherwise I won't see your help for quite a while. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[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?

I followed this tip (I'm using Fedora Core 2) I found on Google: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=970290#post 970290 For other distros, it might be as simple as changing "-nolisten tcp" to "listen tcp" when starting up X.

I also found I needed to run the command when signed on as the same user as the person signed on to Xdm (ie. mythtv). Running as su root caused connection errors.
