[mythtv-users] Howto to configure jack or arts in mythfrontend
Hi everybody, can anybody tell me how I can configure jack or arts in my mythfrontend? To the doc writers: The documention doesn't capture that topic yet. (Only the point that you should disable such deamons, because otherwise the alsa devices are not accessible, but that was the time before arts and jack plugins were in mythtv I think...) To get closer to my problem, I will give you some output I get. First of all mythtv is compiled only with arts and jack support (no alsa, no oss). Starting jack with jackd -d alsa -S -d hw:0,0 gives: [...] creating alsa driver ... hw:0,0|hw:0,0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|16bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Starting mythfrontend with configured audiodevice JACK:hw0,0 result in looping: 2006-01-15 13:50:46.268 Error opening audio device (hw:0,0), the error num was: 7 hw:0,0: Illegal seek 2006-01-15 13:50:46.275 Error opening audio device (hw:0,0), Port not found. hw:0,0: Illegal seek Both started as root!

Re: [mythtv-users] Howto to configure jack or arts in mythfrontend
Hi, have it running. If any other person will try jack in combination with mythtv, only do the following: 1. start jackd 2. Go into your mythfrontend in the general configuration. There you need to put a JACK: in the audiodevice. 3. Now try to view a tv show or video. You should be able to enjoy the sound now :-).

Re: [mythtv-users] nuv files to DVD - from unrecognized format to VOBU problems
Hi, Strip out the A/V and remux as a DVD-type stream. OR, use the offshoot of dvb-mpegtools utility 'replex' that will remux a stream without stripping. It also preserves sync better in the case of weird/corrupt captures. e.g. replex -t DVD -o newfile.mpg oldfile.mpg tcscan -i newfile.mpg should show nav packets. works great. Thx.

[mythtv-users] nuv files to DVD - from unrecognized format to VOBU problems
Hi, I need some help. I tried the HowTo from the MythTV documenation, but this does not work. First I get a file opening problem with avidemux2 with an original file. So I tried a transcoded file (MPEG with MP3) and this is working. But the HowTo seems to be very old. There is not button Save Raw Video Stream in version 2.0.36 anymore. So I tried there the codecs DVD and FFm MP2. I get an encoded *.mpg in this format. But when I try dvdauthor -o DVD this.mpg I get a segfault because no VOBU is found. I only get very very much warnings about skipping sectors because of waiting for the first VOBU :-(. So I need somebody here who can tell me what I'm doing wrong and perhaps can bring the documentation up to date...

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Updated gentoo, now everything mythtv segfaults
Hi Jim, Jim Coates wrote: Is there anyway I can try to debug this? I have now tried using CVS with the same result, tried turning on the DEBUG flag in settings.pro and still can't get anything out of gdb. Can you do a strace mythfrontend and send it to me? I think, that you have the same problem as I have. The problem is somewhere in the mysql socket. The first access on this socket works when you watch TV or a record. But the second access results in a segfault on the socket. A few persons had luck with a complete emerge -e world, but this doesn't work for me because I'm running ROCK Linux and I don't want to build a complete new distribution :-(. And of course thats not a real problem solution... For the moment I only can say that I can be a problem of 3 parts. First the problem is cause by MySQL 4.1.x (because 4.0.x worked without segfault). The second problem can be a QT 3.3.3 (I have not tried 3.3.4 which is available in Gentoo already). The third a last possibility is MythTV itself, but then I need a backtrace to debug it (I will do a debug build today from mythtv). I also got a response from Isaac but he said that he cannot do anything without a backtrace.

[mythtv-users] Segfaults after watchtv or watchrecord - has anybody the same problems?
Hi, have a weird problem on my pc. When I'm running mythfrontend everything works for the first time. But when I go back to the menu and for example select watch tv a second time or select watching a record or any other combination of these, I get the second time a segfault. So what I want to know is, if anybody has the same problems. It's a bit nerving to restart the complete mythfrontend after watching tv/record. Versions I had this errors: CVS 2005-01-29, 2005-01-31 (this one is running now) I'm using kernel 2.6.9, Xorg 6.8.1, current ATI Radeon driver from ATI for Xorg (but also tried with ATI radeon Xorg bundled driver). Any suggestions from you before I send it to dev list?

So I wanted to check out the version from 2005-01-08. But still the patch does not apply :-(. Does your CVS-repository supports date checkouts? Because the checkout are looking very similar. The generated tar.bz2 are a little bit different from size, so for me it looks like it works. Are there any backward changes, because DVB patch people have applied this patch on a CVS checkout from 2005-Jan-08? I also tried 2005-Jan-07 already with the same effect. So that's somehow bad for me, does anyone have a checkout on which this patch applies? Are there any additional patches which corrects that issue?

Hi, Gavin Hurlbut wrote: First off, it's not my software. Secondly, bitching and complaining when you obviously haven't done your research (such as reading the -dev mailing list to see that the DVB Patch had been committed to CVS), and haven't kept current with CVS... That's not a problem with the software. That's a problem with the user. I don't agree with that. Software guidelines and research about software engineering tells a complete other view. They say the problem user does not exist. (I know that this is a very provoking statement) I cannot be the duty of the user to read a complete mailing list to get a software running. The duty of an user is to read documenation like a handbook, an usage guide, a howto or anything else in this form. That was what I have done to run my mythtv and my experience was that documentation had lots of holes or obselete parts. Especially DVB setup is not described very well. Btw the best software in the intention of software enginering is intuitional usable software, because documentation is not needed there (but I always say, continue your dream). After some hints from mailing lists to http://www.digitalregime.com/mythdvb/ I get my mythtv running. Personally for open source projects I don't write back to people and critize their attitude. This always frights users off. It is clear in such situation that some people are frustrated because of bad documentation (yes the problem is very well know by an open source project I'm development member), but nobody of us writes (or should write) such mails to the people. We try to help them... and come on this is a user list and not a development list ;-) If you get lots of mails like that, perhaps it is time to do something against that? When nothing will be done until I get some more time , I will to try to write a complete howto, but I cannot do that without help. Because imho a change here is needed. So don't complain about attitude, my original post was more from the frustration and anger about the software and that is not ok, but your reaction was also not ok for my opinion. I did not offend you (I hope so) in my original post, so why have you done that to me or the cattles? They cannot answer back, I can ;-). Btw. another persons has told me why -march=pentiumpro and I can understand that. Perhaps if you want to talk to optimization guru go to http://www.fefe.de. He had done a very good presentation about gcc optimization a few years ago :-). Cheers, Michael Obster -- mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.obster.org 1.

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB tuning problems
Hi, have the same on Hotbird 13°. Some transports not responding and get no lock. But others responds and are working. Astra works well. I don't know if it is the same problem which results in problems switch between channels. Sometimes switching hangs...

[mythtv-users] Problems using MythTV - errors with channel parameters
Hi, I need your help. Have setup MythTV a few days ago and tried to setup my channel setting. I also run mythfilldatabase --manual for a german channel set. The grabbing has run and in the channel table there are channels without frequency! Starting mythbackend shows me 2005-01-25 22:29:18.848 DVB#0 ERROR - Unable to find channel in database. 2005-01-25 22:29:18.848 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to get channel options for channel 3. is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput. So the next step was running the channel editor and do a scan. The first big point which got on my nerves, MythTV had problems to start a scan without typing in a frequency :-(. Ok then lets have a second try when I type in a Astra transponder frequency. And then it has found some channel, but all are tagged as service :-(. When I need here are names, not random numbers. Ok, next step. I tried to select WatchTV. The result was about 10 seconds black screen :-(. Ok restarting mythbackend results in: 2005-01-25 22:34:39.718 DVB#0 ERROR - Unable to find channel in database. 2005-01-25 22:34:39.718 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to get channel options for channel 3. is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput.

Also I have found a -march=pentiumpro. PLEASE READ GCC DOCUMENTATION! This cannot work on platforms like PowerPC for example. Is also contraproductive for optimize on the different IA32 cpus! Ok.

Hi, Gavin Hurlbut wrote: OK. Your attitude smells like a cattle farm. What the hell is wrong with your software my ass. How about you learn to debug? Oh, and to read the documentation. I'm pretty sure the DVB stuff has been documented on the mailing list if nowhere else. If nothing else, you could tone down that attitude. Thats pity that you react in this way. I talked with lots of people who had also problems like me. I think it's quite normal that you get such reactions when users are frustrated because they did read documentation, they did read many forums, they did try to get help from the mailing list. But the problem still exists. This is not helpful. As for reading GCC Documentation, what about it? Did you ever think that maybe... just maybe... the build environment might be optimizing for the specific platform you are compiling on? Jeez. Thats the point. There are many build kits out which do optimization for specific architectures. For example look at Gentoo or ROCK Linux. The build system optimizes the complete build environment for a selected cpu. The only exception on x86 is pentium 4, because this is still experimental *g*. If you look at the assembler output ,gcc creates, there is much difference between the different platforms. For example parallel working on cpu registers, using SSE, using 3dnow or mmx and so on. Also a speed up is between this different optimization. This features are in the gcc documentation for example ;-). A hardcoded -march=pentiumpro does not recognizes such things, even I know qmake is a little bit tricky here. Personally I prefer autotools for building software. So to get an optimal optimization, it is better to let the build determine which option is needed ;-). MythTV Version CVS from 2004-12-14 maybe you should update this before spewing... That's over a month old. I will try that, even that the problem should not be this version, because the maintainer of this package tests it on his platform before. Only a database setup routine can be (because I don't think he is setting up his database from the beginning...) I will report if it is working or not. Perhaps sending some patches :-). gcc: 3.4.2 And gcc 3.4.x has issues with a lot of code. Maybe that's part of your problem too? Not at all. It is working very well. The only big bug is in its lexer (I would fix it if I know how, but it is not trivil to fix :-( ). So some ANSI C will not compile :-(. But with some additional brackets the code works. And works better than 3.3.x or 3.2.x (sounds interesting...) :-). Hoping for some help. Still hoping. I will try a newer CVS from 2005-01-26 perhaps this solves the problem. I let me suprise ;-). Cheers, Michael Obster P.S.: Please don't interpret every line as personal attack. That was not my intention. I only want to wake you up, because my and a lot of other peoples first impression of your software is not very good. It is more for an article in the german Linux Magazin, how software should not be! No I will not write such one, because I don't know as much as I need for writing that for the moment. I hope more if I write such an article in the future that you get some helpful development power to get your software much better than today ;-). So it will be a more positive one ;-). ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
