Re: [mythtv-users] Help Developing MythWeb
I just installed mp3act this morning. Extremely fun. I have the streaming and jukebox mode working perfectly after a couple tweaks for permissions. This in mythweb would be a dream. I will never go back to mythweb or even myth music now that this is working. Need my laptop handy but it is worth it. Maybe once this new mythweb in 0.19 comes out I will see if they can be integrated for those wanting/needing something like this.On 1/25/06, Big Wave Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:For those that may be interested...

Re: [mythtv-users] control MythTV with my gamepad?
I also have the P3000. Fun joystick except one of my batteries died. I use qstick/kbstick as described http://www.ditch.org/kbstick/ It turns the joystick moves into keyboard strokes, kind of like lirc. You configure what you want all the buttons to do. Mine are linked to up/down/home/end, etc. The downside is that unless you come up with a kill/restart mechanism, you need to convert xmame (or whatever you are using), to use those keybindings and NOT the joystick directly. You actually need to force joystick=0 or whatever or else xmame will croak. The below script lives in my /usr/local/bin/ and I link to it in Autostart to start on boot. I have heard of native joystick support in myth but do not knows its status. Here is my qstick:[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# cat /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/qstick#!/bin/sh# This shell script part of the QStick package, which uses the KBStick# program to translate joystick messages into keyboard messages which # are sent to an X server, to the end of adding joystick support to# keyboard-and-mouse or keyboard only games.## KBStick is released under the GNU Public License, please see the# source code, Makefile and README file for more information. # Assign X KeyCodes to shell variables.

Re: [mythtv-users] Wireless Keyboard Questions -- Belkin MediaPilotworth it?
I have the MediaPilot and it is great. I keep the base station in a closet, with some of my other components and there is never an issue with events. The keyboard/mouse aspect work Out-Of-The-Box on my FC3 system. The only thing I have never setup is the IR remote control aspect. That needs Windows software I never got around to testing. My Harmony remote does everything I need. I bought mine on buy.com. Only downside of the keyboard is the plastic squeaks. The battery life is very very good as well. I put it in the charger maybe once a month.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythDVD offline Archive or Catalog?
This thread has recently got a little spotlight here
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/161889 I
played around with the scripts and think I have something to add.
I think these scripts are must haves for anyone not ripping their
DVDs. Excellent scripts.
Changes:
prompt_for_media:
Automatically removed '_'s, which I have in my filenames.
Added -xrm xterm*allowSendEvents: true to the xterm command so it can support mouse events.
Changed font/geometry to better fit my hi-def
screen. (If anyone has success getting an even bigger font
displayed, please write)
prompt:
Eject the DVD tray
Added some spaces to pretty up the display
mousemove:
No change, just attaching for convenience
xine:
Simple scipt to call mousemove after calling xine
myth-load.sh:
Force irxevent to start up before mythfrontend (amongst a couple of other things too)
All but the last script I put in /use/local/bin/. I updated the
DVD Play command to force /use/local/bin/xine (make sure all the
scripts chmod a+x). To get the remote keypress to work, I needed
to switch as many lirc events to use irxevent as possible.
lirc snip

end

end
/lirc snip
I was getting double events for some of the buttons so I commented out
my original mythtv/xine/mplayer configs for the above buttons.
I would love to see this functionality included in core myth.
Maybe a DVD RIP option to 'Symlink Only', and have a special directory
for 'DVD Library' to put it.

Any tips are obviously of help, thanks. I second the request to treat overscan as the norm.Any actual help on this in the doc with a couple recommended set of options would suffice. Any chance you had the downside of severe pin-cushion on your 510? That is something else I am dealing with with any input NTSC.
