[mythtv-users] using a biostar 210p with myth

2006-01-29 Thread Gabe Rubin
I see that frys is selling a biostar 210 (looks like a shuttle box)
with sempron 2100+ for around $250.  THis looks like a nice barebones
for a mythbox.  Has anyone tried it yet?  It has firewire, spdif out
and in, and a 7 in 1 card reader built in.

I was wondering if anyone has used one of these and can give their verdict.

[mythtv-users] has anyone used an Aopen EX661L

2006-01-24 Thread Gabe Rubin
I saw a good deal on newegg for this shuttle like barebones system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856140015ATT=Barebone+Systems%20CMP=BAC-dealmac
Basically, nice form factor, mobo with a lot integrated but no CPU for
$100 after rebate.  I may be interested in trying this out if anyone
has had positive experience with one of these bad boys.  Seems like it
just needs a capture, HD, memory and CPU (and perhaps a digital audio
card) to make it a full fledged system.  Does the chipset and onboard
video work well with myth for this (SiS 616fx/964L  SiS mirage
video).

[mythtv-users] capturing via firewire

2006-01-20 Thread Gabe Rubin
I am considering upgrading my myth box so I can, as some people
stated, step into this century's technology.  I already have a PVR-350
capture card, and live near frys where they are always selling
Mobo/CPU combos.  What I wanted to do was get one with nVidia chipset
on it, digital audio out, and video out which I will convert from VGA
- Component using some device for that.

My question is, if I have a motorola box with firewire outputs, can I
capture all my tv this way?  Will I even need the pvr anymore?   Also,
i capture HD this way, do I need a lot of horsepower CPU wise for
that, or will the CPU be needed for playback?

Thanks in advance.  Basically just trying to get a cheap new system
using components I already have and with as little $$ outlay as
possible.

Re: [mythtv-users] widescreen from pvr-350

2006-01-19 Thread Gabe Rubin
Thanks for all these suggestions, and it confirms what I was thinking:
widescreen will require new hardware.

Currently, I only use my myth for dvr functionality.  I have a dvd
player, so I play dvds through that, I am not a big fan of mythmusic
and use my windows computer to play music, and other functions are
handled elsewhere.  My setup is an old VIA cpu at 800 mhz.  I dont
really want to fuss with HD as I dont really watch much OTA
programming, and really would only like it for ESPN and HBO which
seems to be impossible now (or at least can be accomplished for the
time being with firewire, but that may be downgraded by the cable
companies).  So it seems a little pointless to spend a coupld hundred
to upgrade my whole system.

Can I do widescreen, just for the themes, via s-video?  If so, I can
play around with that, but otherwise, I can be satisfied with
antiquated technology.

 VGA shouldn't require any new hardware because your TV should have a VGA

 It will require new hardware, because my mythbox is running on a mobo
with a sodered on VIA 800 mhz chip.  That CPU can't handle the
playback at all, so I would need a beefier CPU and at the very least,
a $50 video card and $100 VGA- component adapter.  I realize that it
will make it a lot nicer, but if I am going to go down that route, I
would just as well spend the money getting a new mobo with digital
audio out and on board video to be able to fully use the myth

$300, which is not something I want to do just to have a widescreen

[mythtv-users] widescreen from pvr-350

2006-01-18 Thread Gabe Rubin
I recently upgraded my tv to a widescreen HD, and want to be able to
use widescreen themes.  This may be a very stupid question, but is it
possible to do so using just the RCA-video out on the pvr-350?  Should
I switch to s-video, change a config setting in my Xorg.conf file, or
is it just not possible with a pvr-350?  I am not too concerned about
the tv shows, as I am not capturing any HD content.

Re: [mythtv-users] IMDB Screen Scrap... legal?

2005-07-08 Thread Gabe Rubin
The Feist Decision held that one can't get a proprietary interest in
the unorigianl assembalage of facts (like a phone book listing in
alphabetical order, which was the precise question in that case). 
However, it leaves open protection for an original arrangement which
IMDB could arguably present a case for.

Nevertheless, there are many causes of actions that iumbd could have
outside the scope of copyright law.  If you are accessing their site
in a way they have expressly forbidden (screenscraping), they could
press a tresspass to chattels cause of action.  Other companies such
as eBay and Verio (I believe, whoever maintains the Whois database)
has been succesful on this theory.

Feist gives small comfort to someone who is screenscraping a site like
imdb against their express wishes.

I recall reading that it is possible to have myth save your searches,

does pop up, then myth will now to add it to the recording schedule
(or it is already in the recording schedule).  How do I go about doing

Those links actually won't provide too much information.  If it was
just marked up in (sub)committee, the Senate Clerk (or some
equivalent) needs to prepare a Committee Print that makes note of
all the changes.  This usually isn't ready for a few days after the
mark-up, although if it is going to the full committee soon,
theoretically, it should be available by that date, and then of
course, available before the full Senate votes on it.  However, with
approp bills, it is not uncommon for the full print to become
available mere hours (sometimes minutes) before the vote.  Of course,
these bills can be several hundred pages, and you know (wink wink)
that every Senator and/or their staff has thoroughly read through that
before the vote.

The Committee or Subcommittee could be contacted, or the website could
be checked, but unless you get a first hand account, or read about it
in some trade press or from interest group (such as the EFF), it is
very difficult to know what amendments are attached to these bills
until a few days have elapsed.
 
 As of yet I can not seem to find this bill, but a quick glance at my
 senators webpage( http://shelby.senate.gov ) I see that he voted three times

 On an amendments: S. Admt. 799, S. Admt. 817,S. Admt. 783

These are most likely bills and amendments that the full Senate is

Broadcast flag (what you are talking about) was struck down by the DC

 yah, but it's good to know, since i think nearly every distro and *nix

 think about it, it's not really any harder to use than notepad.exe, it's
 just that we've all been trained from the early days of home computing
 to remember all those Ctrl+[x] keys .. in vi, it's just a different set
 of keys to remember :p
 

sure it may be good to know, but it is not needed, and particularly
not needed if you are just trying to get your toes into the linux
waters.  It is also good to know how to compile your own kernel, but
not neccesary for myth, and something a newbie should not attempt

For the record, I have never bothered to learn VI, would need my hand

Re: [mythtv-users] Broadcast flag thrown out

2005-05-06 Thread Gabe Rubin
To answer some questions:
An appeal is permissable, and I expect one soon.  They could even ask
for a rehearing en banc, but I doubt that would be fruitful for them. 
This case was decided on a doctrine that had been considered dead
until a few years ago, non-delegation.  This same court had a similar
analysis a few years in a case involving environmental regulations
that the EPA promulgated (it is actually pretty funny when you think
about it that most of the same constituencies that abhored that
decision, will likely applaud this one).  The Supreme Court reversed
the DC Circuit on that, holding that the EPA had acted properly within
their authority.  But I suspect that with the language of the Eldred
decision, and potentially what happens with the Grokster case that the
Supreme Court may decide that IP law is best left up to Congress and
not agency rulemaking.  It will be real interesting if the Supreme
Court upholds a non-delegation decision, and would, I believe, be the
first time they did so since the Lochner era cases (1920s).

More to the point, the interests that want this will definitly push
hard through Congress.  I personally doubt they can get the
legislation pushed before June, but who knows.  They are probably
kicking themselves that they did not try to attach this to the
copyright bill that just passed and was signed into law a few weeks
ago.  Nevertheless, I would not be suprised if it gets attached to an
appropriation bill.  Significant legislation gets put in those, and it
could be part of the FCC approps bill, and done in conference where no
one will get a chance to even know about it.

But the good news is there is a reprive, albeit, potentially
temporary.  Bravo to ALA, PK, and EFF!  I will now pore over this
decision.

[mythtv-users] wow....18 is so stable

2005-05-03 Thread Gabe Rubin
Just a big thanks to all who made .18 possible.  The upgrade, with a
combination of ivtv update to latest stable atrpms package has not had
a crash yet.  I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I have had an uptime
of over 7 days, and that has been unheard on this machine.  I was
psyched to get my bootsplash image up and running, but have not had to
watch it in over a week!

I have been using myth for over a year, and it gets better on each release.

 So what's the point of fighting it then?  If this is a merry-go-round

[mythtv-users] Downgrade mythtv via apt-get (from bleeding cvs)

2005-04-11 Thread Gabe Rubin
Hi all,

Last night I upgraded my system to bleeding via apt-get to get a
little preview of what's to come from the next release.  Now my myth
system is very unstable.  The first thing I did was downgrade ivtv and
the problems still persist, leading me to believe that it is a
problkem with the cvs version.  I am looking to see how to painlessly
downgrade.  I have tried apt-get install mythtv-suite=0.17 and it said
I had the latest package, so I don't think that is the trick.  I know,
this is not the best way to maintain a system and keep it stable, but
just hoping someone may have a hand for me.

BTW, this is what I get in my /var/log/messages when the picture
freezes on my frontend (it is a combined BE/FE)

[mythtv-users] last image from mythtv or mythvideo re-appears on screen

2005-04-11 Thread Gabe Rubin
This may be better suited for the ivtv list, but when I stop playing
anything on myth (live tv, video, or recording), the final picture
from that input stays on the framebuffer (pvr-350).  It does not show
up on the menus, but when I select a new video or go to live tv, the 2
second pause I usually get now has that screen paused before the real
thing I am trying to watch shows up.

Any idea what is going on here?  It is not that big of a deal, but it
does seem wierd.  It used to be a black screen.  I had done a few
upgrades of my system, but put ivtv and myth-suite back to the most
stable version in the atrpms repo.

If I type the following, I get that last screen but ghosted and opage
in the background of my main screen until the fb gets something new to
pump out:
/usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -globalalpha -nolocalalpha.

Just seems a little wierd.

 I don't see a $100,000 license being that big an issue, this is a user
 pay society, CableLabs perform an extremely well run and organized

As others have said, it is not just the money that is an issue.  They
have no desire to issue a license to open source projects as this
would compromise the very encryption (whether it would or not is
debatable, but they certainly would believe it would).

Even if $100,000 were a drop in the bucket (and I wish I was in that

a license to myth type projects.

I figured out how to solve this, and while the answer is likely
obvious to most people, I will describe what I did for the less linux
savvy folks like myself.

1) Booted off the rescue disc (FC2 install disc 1), and typed linux rescue
2) Chose to boot off cd-rom and pretty much selected all the defaults
when prompted
3) chroot .mnt/sysimagen at the first command prompt
4) this allowed me to use apt-get like normal, but for some reason the
exact command that Mark provided told me that there was no package
named  libselinux-devel so...
5) apt-get install libselinux=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it
6) apt-get install libselinux-devel=1.19.3-1_1.rhfc2.at  which downgraded it

Now my box is working, but a BIG QUESTION!!!

How do I make sure that apt never tries to upgrade this package again?
 It is a hassle to upgrade package by package instead of doing apt-get
dist-upgrade.  Then again, if that is going to break my system, that
is the biggest pain.  Does this mean that I have to upgrade to fc3
sooner than I was planning?

Anyways, hats off to Mark for leading me in the right direction. 
Sorry for posting this elsewhere and checking google, and not the
archives.  I thought I completely hosed my system, but hey, what fun
would myth be without the occasional moments of panic and then
discovery.

Re: [mythtv-users] timestretch results in chipmunk sound

2005-03-06 Thread Gabe Rubin
 am I right in thinking that?

No, it works (not currently for me) by adjusting the pitch.  When it
works right, it is very cool!

From the official mythtv page:
Timestretch. Though, it's really 'time-compression'. This allows the
user to adjust the playback speed slightly, but keeps the audio at the
same pitch. If you're recording a lot of shows, timestretch lets you
get through them faster. =)

From the unofficial wiki:
New Feature (libsoundtouch)
*  A new library has been integrated which allows the playback
speed to be increased or decreased without causing a pitch shift. This
allows folks short on time to increase the playback speed to something
like 1.5x and finish a show quicker, without feeling like they're
listening to the chipmunks.

I updated my FC1 this weekend, and had to reinstall the myth package
due to some apt-wierdness.  After doing this, I am no longer able to

another setting I need to change that I forgot to do?  I tried to
apt-get install libsoundtouch but that package was not found.

This had worked prior to the upgrade, so I know it is not a hardware
limitation, but if it matters I am using a pvr-350.

Yes it was working before, I wanted to mention that because a look

I am using the 350 for video and sound.  The sound is piped into my

upgrade.

It is possible that I somehow screwed up ALSA in the upgrade,
although, my sound playback is fine.  This is not a major issue for me

Also, when I set the time stretch for 1.5x, I get the chipmunk effect
(as earlier reported), but if I skip ahead, the voice goes back to
normal.  Unfortunately, so does the video speed (I believe).

Re: [mythtv-users] Announcing TVWish Beta -- A super wishlist for Myth

2005-02-28 Thread Gabe Rubin
This sounds real interesting!

I remember a little while ago there was discussion of Isaac allowing a
trusted someone to host a recommendation database that updates your
recording schedule.  Basically an output of what you record and
recommendations based on what other people record, and this could be
done on a purly voluntary and anonymous basis.  Would this program
allow for that functionality?

[mythtv-users] Re: ivtv wont load (Error inserting ivtv_fb)

2005-02-27 Thread Gabe Rubin
Please ignore these last messages.  I have resolved the issue  (by
removing and reinstalling ivtv and the kernel module by hand) and
several reboots.

The transition from FC1-FC2 was not as painless as I hoped, but
everything seems to be up and working (with some real kludgy lirc
fixes, and power management hopefully turned off).

[mythtv-users] screen goes black after inactivity after FC2 upgrade

2005-02-27 Thread Gabe Rubin
Hoping someone can help.  I upgraded from FC1-FC2 and have ironed out
almost all the problems.  One problem that still exists is that my
screen goes black after some inactivity, and I need to issue the
command gdm-restart to restart mythfrontend.

I am using ratpoison, and was before.  I don't think there is a built
in screensaver that I need to turn off.  I have also issued these
commands as per Jarod's guide:
# echo /usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms  /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# echo /usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off  /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and restarted, but that does not seem to do the trick either.

and the only reference to dpms in my xorg.conf file is a commented line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# more /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep dpms
#   Option  dpms


Can someone point out where I might find what is causing this?  I am
guessing it is either a screensaver or power management feature.  I
just have no idea how to turn it off and would love to.  Again, this
happened after upgrading to FC2.

Re: [mythtv-users] screen goes black after inactivity after FC2 upgrade

2005-02-27 Thread Gabe Rubin
 One suggestion is to add the xset stuff to your myth user's login scripts,
 seems some folks need to have them there. Another suggestion would be to add
 this to xorg.conf:
 
 Section ServerFlags
 Option blank time 0
 Option standby time 0
 Option suspend time 0
 Option off time 0
 EndSection
 
I implemented both of these changes and it seems like it may have done
the trick (I have let box idle for 10 minutes, and no black screen). 
I will know for sure tomorrow morning when either I can turn on my
mythbox or have to restart gdm again.

Thanks though, that looks like the trick I needed.

 Sorry it hasn't gone as smooth... :-(
 
It is not too bad.  Most everything I was able to troubleshoot on my
own, and as always, it is a learning process for me.  There were no
apt repositories for ratpoison that did not depend on XFree86, so that
required a fresh install, had to setup gdm again, figure out some
screwiness with lirc and ivtv, but fortunatly, nothing major broke,
and I am up and running now.  I am a lot more concerned about the
transition to fc3, so hopefully fc2 will be supported for the long
haul.

Anyways, the machine is still staring back at me 15 minutes later, so
I think these changes make it good to go.  As always Jarod, THANKS!

Re: [mythtv-users] Reuters: FCC Overstepped Authority on Digital TV

2005-02-22 Thread Gabe Rubin
 
 http://finance.myway.com/ht/nw/bus/20050222/hlm_bus-n22530838.html
 


I wanted to go see the arguments in person this morning, but other
things came up.  I could see the court completely sidestepping the
real issue of importance to us by saying the Plaintiffs lacked
standing (unable to show a particularized harm that is not shared by
the general public (You have to have a harm that distinguishes you
from the public at large, Sentelle said during oral arguments. If
there is not a particularized harm, you do not have standing...There
may be someone from the industry who can come forward.))

It would be great if Hauppague or one of the other card manufactures
sued, because the other question, including the ones in that article,
indicate that they rightly beleive the FCC acted improperly without a
mandate from Congress.  I would expect that issue to be very ripe for
a Supreme Court either way it comes, assuming they get there and don't
stop at the standing issue.  It will be interesting to see if the flag
proponents could get legislation quickly passed if the flag is
overruled on these grounds.

Either way, hats off to Brad Templeton, Wendy Seltzer and others on
this list and off for their work on fighting the flag.  Hopefully, if
standing is the losing issue, some of the manufactures could step in. 
I believe even Issac or this community would be able to show a
particularlized harm by virtue of it impeding a major myth feature (HD
Recording).

Thanks.  I actually use packages and do not compile myself, so I will
wait for this to be incorporated into a version of myth and deal with

Just out of curiousity, why did the skip ahead/back become slow with .17?

Wouldn't this mean that anyone who had a superbowl party at their

watched it with their mythtv or tivo?  You are displaying a recorded

Somone told you wrong.  I believe there is a new card that has dual
tuners, but the 350 is not such a beast.

I personally use the pvr-350, and it does have pretty good output (on
a crappy tv, so hard to get a good read on that).  I do regret not
having the ability to play divx or other formats, but I can play vcd
and svcd from my windows box through the pvr with no problem.  I
specified the internal player instead of mplayer or xine to do this,
and aside from not being able to skip around that well, it works fine
output wise.

When I do upgrade the box, or add another, I will likely get one with
a different vid card (or better yet, just get a tv with vga or dvi
inputs).

 I ran into this exact same problem.  It appears to be related to the

 and all packages that depend on it.  Then, go to www.rpmfind.net and
 download the redhat-artwork rpm for Fedora Core 2 Updates and install
 it.  Then you should be able to reinstall KDE and all the other
 packages that were removed with redhat-artwork.  After that is
 complete you should be able to do a normal apt-get for the bleeding qt
 packages.

I have run into this problem, and have no gdm.  I am not concerned
about KDE as I use ratpoison, but my login is from  xdm now, which
does not appear to have auto-login (and I have no keyboard plugged
into the box).

I am curious, should I just remove redhat-artwork via apt-get remove,
install from the rpm, and then reinstall gdm?  I am using FC1, so do
not know if that will conflict with the FC2 packages.

Thanks,

[mythtv-users] skip ahead/back slower in .17?

2005-02-13 Thread Gabe Rubin
I am loving the new version of myth, thanks all for their work.

One thing I am noticing though is that it takes a second or two to

change channels.  I seem to recall it was almost instantly under the
last version.

Has anyone else noticed this?

[mythtv-users] Upgrading to .17 via apt-get killed gdm

2005-02-12 Thread Gabe Rubin
I just upgraded my FC 1 box to .17 (thanks Axel for making the
packages) by enabling bleeding and upgrading qt (which pulled in
mythsuite as dependencies), and I believe it removed gdm.  How do I
enable gdm again?  I have my auto-login set up with that, and not
really sure how to auto-login via xdm which is what the mythbox now
autoloads (I checked the archives and those answers were a little
daunting).

I tried to do an apt-get install gdm and get this message:
apt-get install gdm
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Re: [mythtv-users] Broadcast flag lunacy

2005-02-11 Thread Gabe Rubin
There is of course a chance that a court will determine that the
broadcast flag is improper and rule against (thanks in part to the
hard work our friends at EFF are doing).  I have talked with one of
the FCC Commissioner's counsels who told me he believes the FCC
actually probably lacks jurisdiction to regulate IP related matters
without a clear mandate from Congress (which is missing here).  This
was somewhat encouraging as his boss did vote for the flag, but
nevertheless, it is a hard road to overturn this decision, though not
impossible,

I have solved this problem.  I had my bus address improperly
formatted.  For some reason, this was not an issue for the older ivtv
packages, but the current one forced me to do it properly.

I think you also want an:
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
in your modules.conf

I just updated ivtv to .1.2 and this was something I changed.  I had a
lot of problems, and not sure if this helped fix it, but I understand
there are issues for some without putting it there.

[mythtv-users] IVTV problems, can't get beyond blinking cursor

2005-02-07 Thread Gabe Rubin
Hopefully someone can help.  I have emailed a few times about this
problem, but I am stuck and have no idea what to do.  My system was
fine last week, but after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, I can no
longer run X and ivtv seems to have some issues.  I have tried
downgrading also with no luck.  This is a FC1 system.

I am not a member of the ivtv list, and am hoping there are some
knowledgable folks here that can help me.

Re: [mythtv-users] IVTV problems, can't get beyond blinking cursor

2005-02-07 Thread Gabe Rubin
 
 Did you upgrade your kernel when you did apt-get dist-upgrade?  If so,
 did you upgrade your kernel modules for your vid card and for ivtv?  Are
 you using an nvidia vid card, and if so, if you didnt upgrade the kernel
 modules, did you at least install the nvidia driver from thier site, and
 the same thing for ivtv, did you install those as well again?
 

To answer these questions:
No update of kernel, although my kernel modules for ivtv did seem to
get updated during the apt-get dist-upgrade and not using nvidia out. 
All my out is through a PVR-350 (should have made that clear).

This was a working system, but the tv-out ceased to work on my last
apt-get dist-upgrade.

[mythtv-users] apt-get dist-upgrade killed my ivtv (fc1)

2005-02-03 Thread Gabe Rubin
I did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my system to update it and now ivtv
is not working.  I get the dreaded blinking cursor in the middle of
the tv with XKeepsCrashing as a running process.

It appears that the update removed the ivtvdev_drv.o file.  What do I
need to do?

[mythtv-users] error on apt-get dist-upgrade (FC1)

2005-02-01 Thread Gabe Rubin
I am doing an apt-get dist-upgrade on my FC1 system, and I get the
following error:
Committing changes...
Preparing...### [100%]
file /dev/lirc from install of lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc1.at

lirc-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl_47.rhfc1.at-0.7.0-27_pre4.rhfc1.at

Do i need to apt-get remove lirc and then do the reinstall?

Re: [mythtv-users] New version of MythTV (0.17)

2005-01-31 Thread Gabe Rubin
 Stargate SG-1 is one numerous times on the Sci-Fi channel. Since I
 travel every week, I have to record every instance of the show, which
 basically is about 8 episodes a week (16 GIG of space). If there was on
 option to record only first run shows, this would cut it down to only
 recording one show a week. Yes, I could set it up to record on Friday at
 a certain time, but the point is I only want to record the first run
 shows only.
 

If you set it to only record when the first run shows are, that is all
you will get.  You will get repeats that you have not captured before,
but hey if its new to you...

Re: [mythtv-users] New version of MythTV (0.17)

2005-01-31 Thread Gabe Rubin
 
 What I was thinking is since there is an airdate in the xml listings,
 there could be a check done at that level instead of all the manual
 intervention.
 
I have found that information to be very unreliable for certain shows.
 I for one would rather rely on descriptions and delete generic dupes.
