[mythtv-users] Play Audio/Video Backwards
So I watch Lost. There's a character on Lost, Walt, who has started to talk backwards. I was wondering if Myth has a way to play the video/audio backwards so I don't have to go surf to some fan site to figure out what he said. I like being able to slow down the recording, or speed it up, but reversing it would be... well, pretty cool.

Re: [mythtv-users] New MythDora v1.4
All the same, some info has been added on the home page of the site so that people can quickly understand what is being offered. More information is usually not a bad thing... right? I'd also like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the torrent for v1.4 is up and running, so now you can d/l via HTTP or BT. Users choice. I'll also ask that if you go the BT route, pretty please with a cherry on top, can you leave your client open. As always, feedback (both positive and negative) are welcomed.

Say I subscribe, and living in the US, the only reason I would is for the "voting" ability since I'm fine with the themes out there now (thanks Myxer!) and get the same program info for free.

How much of my money goes into the "pay for dev" program? Surely it's not 100%, since LxM Suite is not a charity. The only thing that makes sense to me to pay for going forward, other than the voting thing, is actual data, like your podcast idea or some super-duper program info on steroids, or a better interface to manipulate my channel lineup, or heck, even a channel icon for each and every channel I have. I can't see paying for themes, there's so many out there. All that being said, I'm very happy that LxM Suite is throwing the code back. I wouldn't even consider subscribing if that wasn't the case.

I've done some more work on this, and it seems to me it's a MythTV issue. I can't, for the life of me, get the Frequency to be anything other than 884 (ivtvctl -a, look at "Frequency="). I finally did get the /etc/rc.d/rc.local to set the frequency to 980 at boot, but as soon as mythfrontend loads, it gets changed to 884. I've tried changing all the settings I can think of, US-bcst, US-cable, start on channel 2, start on channel 3, external tuner channel 3, external tuner channel 4... and on and on... No matter what I do (and yes, each time I run mythtv-setup I restart the backend), I can not get Myth to use anything other than 884. I'm starting to go a little mad. Card is PVR-250, Tuner type 8.

[mythtv-users] Myth Setting Frequency of PVR-250 Wrongly... What's Going On?
I've been working on a box lately, following Jarod's guide. It is a FC3 system running MythTV 0.18.1, and IVTV 0.3.x, built using Axel's RPMs (with the "testing" rpms for ivtv, since I thought upgrading to the newer ivtv would help me). I boot up, fire up MythFrontend and go to live TV. I get some black and white static bars and I get the sound fine. I was finally able to get Live TV to work after I used the ptune.ui and setting the "channel" to "3". After doing that, I could fire up Mythfrontend and use LiveTV fine. So, I wondered, what was going on. I dumped the result of "ivtvctl -a" into a file after a boot, and when Live TV would not work, and I did the same dump after I got live TV to work. I then diffed them, at it appears that the only significant difference was the setting for "Frequency". On boot, the Frequency is set to 0. When MythTV fires up Live TV, it's set to 884, which doesn't work. When I get Live TV working, the Frequency is set to 980. So, I thought I would dump a "/usr/bin ivtvctl -r 980" into /etc/rc.d/rc.local to force it to set to 980 on boot. This didn't work. I looked everywhere I could think of that might have that 884 frequency. I scanned all through the database, but nothing popped out to me. I don't know how/why MythTV is setting the tuner card parameters. I'm at a loss here as to what I need to do next. I've looked through dmesg and all seems to be fine, I can post that if someone wants a peak. Frustrating, as this is the last "bug" on the box. ... and for those of you that know the show, yes, the "What's Going On?" in the title is a Xandir reference from "Drawn Together". gs ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] All Remote Connections To My Myth Box Eventually Die
Apologies if this is OT... I recently upgraded to 0.18, was running 0.17. Myth is running on FC2, ATRPMs. When I updated, I only update mythtv-suite, and not a distro update. MythTV is working fine... sort of. If I use MythWeb, VNC, or SSH, I can establish a connection and use it without any problems for about 2 or 3 minutes... then it locks up, and the connection is terminated. I thought this was solely a SSH problem, but fired up MythWeb, and was using it for a bit, then it froze, and the connection was terminated. Similar results with VNC. Should I do a distro update? I'm worried I might break something. Is this problem symptomatic of something specific you know about?

You can't be giving 100% of your profits away forever... can you? I couldn't help but notice this line from the web site FAQ: "LxMSuite is a non-free subscription service..." Now that just sounds silly. Call it what it is, a "fee based" service. What kind of double speak is "non-free based...".

I mount the M$ shares (winvideo, winpictures, and winmusic) at boot with commands in rc.local through Samba, as was suggested earlier in this thread. They get mounted to directories in /mnt. I then can symlink to them. I symlink mainly for videos, because when I rip a DVD, it goes into the directory on the MythBox I specified for videos (/rip). At least in prior versions of MythTV, you could not define mulitple locations for videos, so I just put a symlink in my movie directory (/rip) to the proper /mnt samba share... and I got everything in on the MythVideo menu. I could also bind mount (mount -o bind ) the M$ share into the proper directory, but I'm lazy the way I have it set up now works fine for me. Works great. gs ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

From what I read, these were the most important tables to get into the new system. I used this command to dump each table: mysqldump -u root -p mythconverg record > record.table.sql mysqldump -u root -p mythconverg recorded > recorded.table.sql mysqldump -u root -p mythconverg recordedmarkup > recordedmarkup.table.sql (I suppose you could dump all three at once, but I wanted to look at each of them..and I like to do things the hard way). I then edited the dump files so that the only sql commands left were the "INSERT into..." commands. I don't need the table building commands because the tables are already there in the new backends database. Now, when I tried to import those files into my new database, I got an erro on the "recorded" table. So I looked at the new table: mysql -u root -p mythconverg mysql> show columns from recorded; and noticed that the rows lastmodified, filesize, stars, previouslyshown, and originalairdate were all new in 0.16 (I was coming from 0.15). The defaults are NULL, 0, 0, 0, NULL respectively. I simply added those five values to the end of every "INSERT into ..." line that was in my recorded.table.sql file.

Any input on this?

It uses google to find targets. pcHDTV.com was vulnerable because google has them indexed (google search "powered by phpBB site:pchdtv.com" to see how the worm found them).

[mythtv-users] FC2 MythTV Install Script
For those that are interested, we have finished our testing and are now offering a script that will install MythTV for you on a Fedora Core 2 box. The script can be found at http://G-Ding.tv/ The script will work on FC2 and *should* work on FC3. The FC1 portion of the script will most likely not work. This script is based on the work of Ryan Pisani with his FC1 install script as well as Jarod Wilson's HowTo Guide . It has been tested several times, and seems to be working well. Please, if you have any comments, suggestions, or criticisms (even flames) let us know. We hope to help making the installation of MythTV as easy as possible. Comments can be made at the website above. There is also a VERY small forum there. Geoff PS - We were just finishing up our testing of the script when Ryan posted to the list concerning the script. This is in no way meant to take away from his work. We only took up the script as it appeared that Ryan had stopped developing the script. -- I have one Gmail invite left.

[mythtv-users] Yet Another "No Sound Durring Live TV" Problem
List, I've recently upgraded from 0.15.1 to 0.16 (as well as from FC1 to FC2). My box is almost back to normal, save for one small detail, I have no sound during live tv (and I've searched all over the archives...nothing seems to "fit" right). The recordings I have from when I ran 0.15.1 and FC1 have sound, and I can hear it. I can not, however, change volume or mute it. Any live TV or recordings do not have sound. If I move the audio from the PVR-250's audio input over to my Sound Blaster Live Line In, I get sound, but when watching Live TV, it is of course 3 seconds or so ahead of the video. I've followed Jarod's guide. I've made sure nothing is muted (using alsamixer). I have my sound output set to /dev/dsp, I have my mixer set to /dev/mixer and I have it set to control the PCM volume. I've commenced with hair pulling, because I know it's something dumb. -- I have some Gmail invites.
