Re: [mythtv-users] frustrating comments about sample rates (what not to do)
I know the difference, the problem is, the user who doesn't go digging through code would have no indication that changing the sample rate for recording profiles of an mpeg device would have negative effects, which aren't immediately obvious. Why would I change the rate you ask? The default alsamixer settings for my audio card (which uses the Via Envy24 chipset) sets multi track rate locking to on, so I set the alsamixer multi track sample rate to 44.1kHz so that it would work with TV and music. I changed the recording profile rates to 44.1kHz and didn't realize there was a problem for a few weeks because this only happens when watching recordings as they're recording or buffered live TV which I do very rarely.

Isaac That was my first impression as well when skimming over the source, but apparently (at least to my feeble eyes) not the case. If I set the sample rate to 32000 it records at 48000 because it can't or won't change the sample rate with ivtvctl and there's a time discrepancy (I can only say for sure this happens when watching while recording but it definately doesn't happen after commercial flagging). If I set the sample rate to 48000 it records at 48000 and everything is fine. So I'd have to assume it's getting 32000 from the db because all the mpg headers say 48000 regardless of what I set. It's the only thing I change and it only changes in the db. I can't say for sure where this is happening cause I haven't found it yet but when and if I do I'll post it.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 with tv-out and PVR-150MCE combo setting
This didn't work. I got the same results. If I switch the cards around so the 150MCE is detected first its encoder works fine, but the 350 TV-out doesn't work. When I boot, instead of the nice green tv-output I get a flickery black image followed by no signal (my TV displays the input number when when no signal is coming in). X starts without errors but no picture. If I do dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video17 I get audio but no video.

Re: [mythtv-users] pvr-350 recording at 720x480 question
I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just trying to help you get the most out of the mailing list. --Ajay Thanks for the response. Sorry in advance for the ridiculously long post. I've reinstalled everything start to finish about 15 times over the last 9 months using jarrod's guide, the myth wikis, knoppmyth, etc. That being said, I'm no expert. Here's what I've done: I installed knoppmyth and got tv-out working in 20 minutes. There's a nice little perl script that does all this for you after knoppmyth's been installed. I've gotten this to work on my own but as we all know there's 7 different ways from Sunday to do anything in Linux and that's double for tv-out. Seems like every time I try doing it myself I screw something up and have to start all over, eventually getting it to work. One thing I've noticed is that when I set it up myself the X display is always way bigger than the screen when I configure TV-out myself. Is this adjustable by manipulating Overscan? My goal is to be able to burn a dvd without transcoding. After setting the recording profiles to 720x480 and with a higher bitrate (yes I know this uses more space it's worth it for me even if it were twice the size), I get some very odd behavior. I begin watching live tv or a recorded program. My screen will look perfect. Great clarity and color. OSD is centered and readable. Intermittently while doing this the image with turn green/purple and/or stretch way beyond the left side of the tv screen. Running ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xf5 makes it better but the OSD is way bigger than the screen and I'm definitely loosing a lot of image. The aspect ratio seems ok though (no apparent stretching). The problem will continue to happen as I watch recordings or live tv, and I have to keep running that ivtvctl command. I'm starting to worry that this intermittent shifting could be a memory fault in the card's registers. Here's some of my setup: modules.conf snippet: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c options ivtv debug=1 options tuner type=47 options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 /sbin/modprobe -r tuner /sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb XF86Config-4 snippet: Section Device Identifier Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer Driver ivtvdev ### change fb1 to whatever number you got in the previous section Option fbdev /dev/fb1 Option ivtv /dev/fb1 ### change the busid to whatever is reported by lspci. Note that ### output of lspci is hex, so add a preceding 0x to the BusID BusID 0:0x8:01 EndSection Section Screen Identifier TV Screen Device Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer Monitor NTSC Monitor DefaultDepth 24 DefaultFbbpp 32 Subsection Display Depth 24 FbBpp 32 Modes 720x480 EndSubsection EndSection I'm not sure why the script uses ivtv and fbdev in the Xconfig. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Recording New Battlestar series
You might be able to fake that you have all the old recordings by manipulating the database. Is it worth it? Probably not. You're better off going through mythweb and setting all season 1 Battlestar's to not record (great series BTW). You can go as far into the future as you have data for (for me that's 10 days). I only want to record the new battlestar galactica series. Is there a way I can specify this in myth? Essential, I want to record all battlestar galactica playing at anytime on channel scifi. When I tried this, I kept getting the old series recorded as well. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Which aired for quite some time, so adding all those might be time consuming. Cheers, Allan.

[mythtv-users] PVR-350 registers shifting during playback and live tv
Sorry if this is a repost... having problems getting posts in: I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that I'm NTSC and I'm trying to record using 720x480. Why would I do that? Because I can burn directly to DVD without transcoding. What's happening is that intermittently during playback of 720x480 my colors go all green/purple and/or the image widens way past the left side of the screen and shifts so there's a little black on the right. I can get the colors back with ivtvctl by shifting the 0x6c register and I can get the screen to shift to the right so it's centered but I can't get it to size the image properly. It's almost like it's changing the aspect ratio. I've tried John Harvey's new X driver by using ivtv drivers newer than 0.3.2b but I can't get them to work (I may need a firmware upgrade). I get no device found error when starting x but no errors from ivtv in messages. Here's my current thread on knoppmyth's site if you want more info on my setup: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=23187#23187 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Re: Live and recorded TV shifted right
I've figured this out. Turns out to be my fault, suprise, suprise. I was looking at the correct settings in the wrong place. While digging through all the settings in the past, I had selected (Create new profile group) to see what was in there, a new profile was created, and I couldn't figure out how to delete it. At least not with my remote. Anyways, I didn't realize the new profile was active, since I hadn't selected it anywhere. Long story short (I know, too late), when I changed the resolution of that new profile to 720x480 and set the aspect ratio to square, as I had tried in the default profile, all is well. -Michael Are you using PAL or NTSC? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
