I've seen quite a few posts on similar issues, but I never saw any resolutions I can try. I'm using the latest versions of everything (MythTV, directv.pl, etc). Any help debugging this would be greatly appreciated. A couple things to try: 1). Run mythbackend from a commandline with debugging output on, so you can see the output of the directv.pl script 2). Make sure when you test the script it's with the same user the backend runs with. 3). Related to #2, check permissions on the serial device (/dev/ttyS0 or whatever) to make sure that isn't the problem. 4). Check the path to make sure the right copy of the script is being run, and that it is being found. You may even want to try putting the full path to the script in the myth setup. Hopefully one of those will get you closer to a solution! - Jeff ___ 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

It's streaming really well over my wireless connection as i write. (GO

I'll work on incorporating it into mythstream next.

Re: [mythtv-users] Dumb Question Regarding TV Capture and DirectTV
I've got the S-Video out to my pvr-250 with the audio as well. Works well and the quality is just fine. The cagle would work just as well without requirng the audio cable and leaving the better quality S-Video to the TV. The only catch might be the cable trying to use the tuner. I know ou can tell it to use the external tuner scipt and get by that. I have yet to hook up my serial cable to the low speed data port (now where did i leave that soldeing iron) So right now i have to setup my recordings in myth then set the satellite box to autotune. It's a bit annoying but working for the moment.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythWeb .17 and Recorded Shows
Also check your file associations. In an explorer window check Tools - folder options. In the file type tab look to see if .nuv is associated with anything. Probably will be associated to mediaplayer classic. Clear that out and you should be all set. Or .mpg might be the problem Mike Luich On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 01:35:26 -0500, Jack Trout [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I love the new Mythweb look and layout, and the usage is alot more intuitive, but I have one issue, and it maybe fixable on my end. In .16 I would goto the recorded shows on my laptop, and click on the image, and a download dialog would appear, and I could rename the file .mpg and save it to my computer and watch it, in .17 the coding for the page changed slightly and even telling my browser to open link as save target as it opens mediaplayer classic, and then proceeds to fail. I have tried the WinMyth on my laptop a while ago, and just does not want to run, just freezes, my laptop isnt that fast but generally plays mpeg and divx video well enough so I havent bought a new one, the recorded programs in mythweb just made it easier to locate the show I wanted and download it, I am reduced currently to using mythweb to figure out what filename the show I want is, then ftping into my box and downloading the correct file if there is either a way I can modify mythweb to return its previous functionality, or if I can use media play or some other program to open the stream from the backend itself I would appreciate the help ___ 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
Re: [mythtv-users] Starting From Scratch
What i've been doing is folowing jarod's guide and skiping the use apt-get to install mythtv. I do an apt-get buil-deps mythtv this makes sure everything required to build mythtv is installed. Then i just download the cvs and build it. I know that nythmusic requires additional prereq's and you might be able to do apt-get buil-deps mythmusic for that too. Have done it in a bit but will as soon as i get access to my new build. (dang isp blocking ALL ports!)

My goal today is to rebuild a FE/BE combined unit (to be seperated shortly down the road) from the ashes of a FC2 box which died a tragic and horrible death 10 days ago. It was a Soyo Dragon (SY-K7V) 1600+ which performed admirably over it's four year lifespan. The new hardware was selected in order to accomodate the jump to high-def. The CPU and vid will be bumped to ideal specs next week or so, I just want to get a head start on the build now that all the hardware is coming together. Here's the dilemna: When I started my first Myth box around the 0.15 days, I stuck primarily to Jarod's FC guide and tweaked away here and there to get what suited me but I never did foray into building from CVS. But then I got really tired of bug #78. digression Just before the meltdown, I decided to go for broke and dump the 0.16 RPMs for CVS. One 'apt-get dist-upgrade' later and I found myself in the wonderful world of dependency hell because 2.6.10 got pulled in somehow. AFAIK, it shouldn't have happened from a dist-upgrade but it somehow did. And all the usual suspects broke due to kernel modules. To my surprise, I managed to fix them all through ATRPMs in very short order. At about that same time, I also managed to compile Mozilla Sunbird and both of these successful events gave me a really big boost of confidence but I also came to the realisation of just *how little* I know about the proper feed and caring of a solid linux system. /digression I was looking at Knoppmyth last night. That is quite the warehouse of howto's and whatnot but somehow I get the feeling I'm really not going to learn more of linux's intricacies by going that route. I'm thinking more along the lines of LFS built up enough to bring in apt in order to get an easier start with CVS. I figure an initial Myth build on whatever is sitting in ATRPMs MythCVS and then pulling source in as needed. I know it won't be the easiest way to build a mythbox but I really, really need move on from linux newbie status and this seems like a way to do it. In the very long run, I see a backend/NFS/SQL/apache server with those two capture cards and diskless frontend(s) capable of HD playback but that plan is for another day. Any thoughts from the community? I'm planning on documenting the path I take and the adventures sure to follow and this seems like a good time to get input from those much smarter and wiser than I. Believe me, I can use all the input y'all have to offer. Think of it this way - you can have a vote on how my new Myth box turns out! -- Meatwad Santa, I need presents. I need a unicycle, a banana suit, and a banana hat to wear with the banana suit. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users I'm on of the LFS editors, I would like to see a hint added to our repository. I can assist you I have a mythtv .16 LFS 6.0 system running the 2.6.10 kernel. It's still not perfect, but most of my issues are hardware related... I had to go with a 2.6.8.1+ kernel just to get support for the motherboard (It's a SY-P4RC350 with an onboard ATI IGP that wasn't supported until that version.) I've scripted most of the build so I can redo portions as required, so I can help with any questions...
