I would love to have such a plugin for XM. In fact, I think I even asked 
on this list before, but I didn't get many responses if any.

How about we try some simple diagnostics

1) In your BIOS do you have Plug-and-Play OS Turned on? Change the
Plug-and-Play OS option (if on - turn off, if off turn on) to see if the
Motherboard recognizes the card.
2) Look for a bios entry for "Reset PCI" - or something similarly worded,
toggle this on.
3) Try resetting your CMOS to factory settings (which typically work).

If none of these work - I'm out of ideas.

[mythtv-users] Another no sound problem

I have a Leadtek TV2000XP Deluxe bttv card with the line-out going into 
the line-in on my SB Live!. Of course, I have sound in tvtime, but for 
some reason myth just doesn't want to unmute the line-in when it records

with no problem.


I've messed around with ALSA controls as well as in Kmix. I'm running 
KDE 3.4.1, and I've tried with the sound system enabled and disabled. No 
change.

Also I'm guessing FC4 is the one to select from FC ? I haven't had any

It's all a matter of opinion really. Fedora is one of the easier distros

[mythtv-users] Disable screen blanking

[Egeekial]

I cannot figure out why my screen goes blank after so long. I haven't 
timed the interval, but it's about 10-15 minutes. The only way I can get 
the screen back is to hit a key on the keyboard... even the remote won't 
do it for some reason which I don't understand either.


Anyway, I have this in my .xsession:
xset s noblank
xset s off
xset -dpms s off

I'm running Slackware current, and I editted my /etc/rc.d/rc.M to this:
# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time, and powers down in one hour
# if the kernel supports APM or ACPI power management:
#/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60
/bin/setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0

What am I missing here?

If you're committed to using a real keyboard, then there's no point to
using mythbrowser. You may as well use a real window manager, switch
to a different virtual desktop, and fire up mozilla or firefox or
something and use that to surf the web (and not worry about keys being

You have to have mythudprelay running, I always have it running as a 
daemon. It listens on port 4958 and rearranges whatever it sees to a 
format that myth likes/requires and rebroadcasts that on port 6949 
which is what the frontend listens to. All the info is in the 
contrib/mythnotify directory. Search callerid in the dev archives for 
the rationale. I only skimmed it but I believe the why is there and 
the how is in the mythnotify directory.

The 150-LP has a low profile PCI bracket, so you're not going to be able

and purchased a PVR-150 as the tuner to go into it. Amazingly, it

  Visually it looks like the PVR-250 has the same problem.

  Has anyone else had this problem? Was there any solution? If not,

Re: [mythtv-users] NVIDIA 1.0.7667 and XvMC

[Egeekial]

Okay, I did that and now XvMC works with my Geforce4 MX 420.

I have a few slightly OT questions, though:
Is it normal for the OSD to be gray instead of the blue it is with XvMC 
disabled?
Also, whenever I do a pause/play, ff/rewind, or commercial skip, the 
picture is jumpy for a few seconds then resumes normal playback. Is this 
an issue with my slightly older video card, or is this "normal" with XvMC?


Thank you.

No, this is the same problem. My "Manage Recordings" also just says

MythCenter, but I don't think it's designed for the 100dpi fonts...

I had the opposite problem. With the MythCentre theme my fonts were
too big so "Manage Recordings", for example, appeared as "Manage".

I fixed it by editing the menu xml files for that theme.  Can't
remember exactly where they were (somewhere in ~/.mythtv/ I think) and
not sure if it works for all themes but you might be lucky.

I never got DisplaySize to have any affect, maybe because I'm using a
PVR350 for output.

I've never tried it myself, but maybe you should take a loot at MythFillEPG.

[mythtv-users] BTC 9019URF problems

[Egeekial]

Whenever I launch X, my 9019URF gets really weird. Something is wrong 
with the repeat rate even if i press a key really fast, I still get 
about 10 characters. This isn't the case before I start X, and the 
problem goes away if I unplug and replug the receiver.


I didn't do anything to "install" the keyboard the first time. I just 
plugged it in, and it worked. Do I need to do something special to get 
it to function properly?

Re: [mythtv-users] Black Screen w/PVR-250 caused by overheat

So if they're prone to overheating... why haven't you tried cooling them?

If you think you have a heat problem, open the PC and run it until 
you have your suspected heat issue. Then spray the suspected 
component with freeze spray and view if you have any changes in the 
video output. Sometimes you can find intermittent thermal problems 
with freeze spray -- not always.


On the other hand, how many people have heat problems with PVRx50s? 
It might be something else.



I don't know how many people, but I'll raise my hand here. In the past 
2 years I've had 4 PVR-250 cards die due to heat. The 4th one just 
gave out a couple weeks ago. First the tuner gets noisy for a month or 
so, then I start getting dropout that results in corrupted recordings 
and cause commercial detection to crash. Then I buy a replacement.


I'm currently down to 2 cards again and am planning this time to 
replace with two PVR-500 cards.


My system is a RedHat9-based Athlon 2600+ in a Gigabyte GA7VT600 MB 
with 512MB RAM, watercooled in a 4U rack chassis. The PVR cards get 
HOT and are the main source of heat inside the chassis. They seem to 
last up to a year. Of the 6 total cards I've had, none of them are 
still in service after over 2 years.


YMMV :)

Re: [mythtv-users] Commercial skipping stopped working

[Egeekial]

Well, I decided to take a look at recordedmarkup, and the last entry 
that's in there is marked 6-4-2005. I've recorded at least something 
every day. So for some reason, things are getting put into the 
recordedmarkup table. Any idea where I should start looking in order to 
debug?

Sometimes the recordedmarkup table needs to be repaired in the database:


From a command prompt, run

And then within mysql:

REPAIR TABLE recordedmarkup;

That should fix the table, if that was your problem.  However, you
will have to get MythTV to re-flag the commericals on the shows which
were flagged while the table was corrupted.
   



Hey, thanx! That worked perfectly for me. All of my old recordings
have their commercial flagging back, and as you stated, recordings
since the table broke need to be reflagged. After reflagging, they
work perfectly, perhaps even better than before the upgrade to 18.1
(from 18).

I'm wondering if turning the 'commercial flagging immediately' (or
whatever it's called) option back on will break it again. Don't have
time to check it right now, but perhaps tonight I can give it a shot.

Who works on the commercial flagging code (Chris Peterson???)? Is
there anyone that might want some log info or something to help track
the problem down if I find that it does re-occur? Let me know...

whole OS on the CF card read-only instead of booting off the network.

[mythtv-users] PVR-150MCE line at top of recording

[Egeekial]

I just got my PVR-150MCE and installed the ivtv-0.3.6d drivers. 
Everything works great except for a few channels that have a "staticy 
line" at the top. It looks like something you'd get when playing back 
from a VCR. Is there a fix for this, or at least any way to easily cut 
the top off?

Re: [mythtv-users] mythtv GUI lockups

I had a very similiar problem before. Try changing your theme directly 
in the database to something other than G.A.N.T. It's in the settings 
table where value='theme'. I don't know if this is the problem or not, 
but it fixed it for me. Strangely, G.A.N.T. works fine now, though...

For some reason, my automatic commercial skip just stopped working the

IIRC the PVR can only detect RC5 remotes. There is a file on the home
page of lirc (http://www.lirc.org) remotes.tar.bz2 that has the codes
of all the currently known remotes.

Unpacking that file and looking in the Sony directory, I do not see any
of your Sony remotes, but grepping them for RC5 only returns one match,
so I would suspect Sony does not use RC5 protocol.

Grepping in the jvc directory for RC5 returns no matches.

I think Philips came up with RC5, there are many matches for it in the
philips directory.

You could get a pretty cheap universal remote from Radio Shack, and
program it to imitate a Philips remote, or Hauppauge have a replacement
remote on their site for $14.95
(http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/hardware.asp#remote).

O.o

Out of curiosity, why do Australian television stations have such

Here, on Canadian (and US) television, as is was said if a shows is 60

almost always accurate to within a few seconds.

Re: [mythtv-users] nvidia card on a budget suggestions

[Egeekial]

Well, I'm not dealing with HD, so I couldn't tell you about that. I can 
tell you, though, that I tried using an old Geforce 256 DDR card in my 
Mythbox with very little luck (overlay problems, freezing, no hardware 
acceleration).


On the other hand, I have a Radeon 9700 Pro in my desktop machine, and 
the ATI Linux drivers work flawlessly. The ATI drivers even came with a 
nice little program to setup your xorg.conf. It's a simple concept, and 
I can't understand why NVIDIA doesn't follow suit. It's somewhat of a 
pain to have to go through the FAQ to get the xorg.conf setup properly.


Anyway, I probably have a skewed view of NVIDIA's Linux drivers since I 
was using such an old card, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I 
just bought a Radeon 9250 for my Mythbox. I'll let you know how it goes 
when I get it.

Okay, I'm running Slackware 10.0 with kernel 2.4.26, and I compiled 
MythTV from source. I got everything setup properly (I think), and I ran 
mythbackend without problems. When I launch mythfrontend, though, it 
opens, a couple progress bars flash by, and then I'm left with the gray 
screen. I can't even use my keyboard at this point to try to kill 
mythfrontend or X even.
