Re: [mythtv-users] xbox / htpc switch?
Brian I think I understand what you are trying to do. If I am getting you right I am assuming that your xbox is using a vga output too? If that is so what would be wrong with just using rca for that and leaving your htpc with vga? Then you could just program a remote (if possible) to control your projector and change the input the projector uses. Just a thought. Seems like it might save some money too.

This is a little bit off topic, but it relates to my mythbox connection to my projector. And hopefully someone here will have a solution. I have both a mythbox htpc and an xbox in my theater. I have one vga cable running through my wall from my electronics closet to the projector hung on the ceiling. I'd like to get something to switch between the xbox and the htpc using IR. What seems to be the best choice is to use an IR keyboard and a KVM switch. Then I could program in the hotkey to switch between the two into my programmible remote and everything would work. Ideally it'd be a USB KVM switch so I could plug both USB cables into the HTPC so I could control the HTPC no matter which video signal was currently active. The one problem I'm running into is that if I only want to play my xbox, a typical 2-port kvm switch won't be powered unless the HTPC is on. It gets it's power through the ps2 or usb cable. Looking through newegg it's difficult to determine if any of those kvm switches will take an external power supply. Does anyone have experience with this? Anyone know of a decent inexpensive 2-port kvm switch with external power? It doesn't even have to have usb functionality. Is there another option? Along the same lines, my projector will accept component inputs on it's computer 2 input. In theory I could convert the VGA-out on my htpc to component and then run both the component from the htpc and the xbox through my receiver and then to the projector.

Re: [mythtv-users] Setting up MythTV in a wierd way ...
I'm no seasoned pro myself but I would go with the external scsi solution. You can usually find a scsi card and an external enclosure for a steal somewhere. Like if you happened to work at a company that kept old equipment... :) Another solution would maybe be to isolate the file server from your network with just either a crossover cable or a small hub connecting it to your master backend. You would of course need 2 nics in the master. I'm not sure how well it would work with livetv if you went from backend---fileserver---backend---frontend. Might have to make sure you got a lot of bandwidth between the file server and backend.

It's good that you are thinking about two server machines but you may be thinking about it the wrong way around. It is not a good thing to put lots of cards in the same system. It isn't just a matter of having enough CPU but there is PCI bandwidth, disk cache, IDE bus contention, memory, and kernel scheduler time slices that the recorders need to compete for. One card per system is best, two is usually acceptable. More than that is possible but not beneficial. You should think about putting cards 1 and 4 in one machine then 2 and 3 in the other. Put local disks in both machines although you could put all you big disks in the machine with card 1 and NFS mount for the other machine but this is not as efficient in several ways. -- bjm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users __ Do you Yahoo!?

When you run mythsetup you have the option to remove the current tuner and channel config. You could always just say yes to the tuners so that it erases them all and you can start fresh putting them in again. --- Lane Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A couple of weeks ago I did a re-install of my FC2-based Myth setup. I have 2 tuners - a PVR-250 and a WinTV-FM. When I re-installed, I did a database migration (ala this: http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.5). Things are mostly OK now, but I have an annoying side effect of the migration. Inside Myth, 4 tuners show up when I look at status. When I do a recording, the recordings are assigned to either tuner 3 or tuner 4. Now, when I run mythtvsetup, only 2 tuners show up. Any way to get rid of the two phantom tuners?

[mythtv-users] Next release?
Does anyone know when a new release is due? I see the last one was four months after the previous one. that would meen we still have another month or so if it followed that pattern. I want to get it installed on my epia with the new hardware decoder support but I don't want to use cvs because I use xbox mythtv on an xbox and I also use a frontend/backend on my desktop along with a frontend on my laptop. I really don't want to go all of that from cvs. Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Re: [mythtv-users] *completely* OT : general database app for linux?
I am kinda jumping in on the middle of these here but did anyone recommend openoffice.org yet? I use it for everything really. It make a great all around replacement for M$ Office. It has a spreadsheet app too. Just go to File-New-Spreadsheet. Hope that helps. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.

Re: [mythtv-users] Epia, MythTV, and a pile of confusion
Jarod, Thanks for the help all this way. I think I am getting it figured out. I am a Gentoo man so I just can't let myself go back to using RH. It looks like this ebuild for xorg contains the libXvMC stuff that I need for the hardware decoding and also the unichrome drivers. It doesn't say if they are the 3d drivers or not but if they aren't I won't cry about it. What window manager would you recommend I use. Part of the reason I want to redo this machine is because KDE was a beast for this machine. __ Do you Yahoo!? Jazz up your holiday email with celebrity designs.

[mythtv-users] Epia, MythTV, and a pile of confusion
Hello, I am trying to get a dedicated mythbox running and possibly running some frontends on other machines. I can handle getting the frontends working. I have done all this many times but things for my setup have changed so much I don't know where to begin. Here is what I have: Epia MII mobo with the nehemiah Hauppauge PVR-250 I had it all set up the way I wanted before with the remote and everything working but I was having problems with it crashing like crazy so I screwed it up trying to fix it. Now all of the epia stuff has changed where they don't use the via_v4l_drv anymore. I am just wondering where I should start. Even down to what version of the kernel I should run. I know in the past that my remote wouldn't work with the 2.6 kernel unless I used some kbd modules. What should I do? Thanks in advance, Matt __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [mythtv-users] Epia, MythTV, and a pile of confusion
So this xvMC stuff all confuses me. I looked into the tv tuner stuff and found how to get the remote working the way I want so that won't be a problem. What is the xvMC stuff exactly? Does Myth use this automatically? I saw something about it regarding xine. Do I have to use xine or will mplayer still use this stuff? To clear things up, correct me if I am wrong, the Unichrome drivers are open source video drivers that already contain all the 3d stuff to make gl work smooth. This xvMC stuff refers to the mpeg decoding portion of the mobo. Thats all i got so far. Is there anything special about the Unichrome drivers? Thanks again __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [mythtv-users] audigy2 platinum problem
I also have had some difficulty with my audigy. There are just so many channels to play around with I litterally spent hours the one night playing around. I ended up just using the mic input on the back of my pc and enabling that capture in alsamixer. You should have a mic capture there. If not I see a cd analog capture on mine too so you might check again on that. What tv tuner card are you using? Some cards will let you use the btaudio drivers which the 2.6 kernels now have nicely supported in the alsa section. Thats what I use now. You just have to be sure to set the recording device in myth to the new dsp#. Good Luck __ Do you Yahoo!?
