Re: [mythtv-users] Lost sound on EPIA SP -- how to diagnose?
Are you on a 2.4 kernel or a 2.6?
I have an epia M1. I used to run a 2.4 kernel on it (If it ain't
broke, don't fix it philosophy, then I tried to fix it). If it was
left on for a long period of time with nothing playing the output
would just turn off. Now I had SPDIF hooked up, and I don't remember
if it did this with analog as well. To fix the problem I just
restarted the machine. Bit of an annoyance but it worked. I have a
seperate backend so I never left the machine on for long anyways.
I recently upgraded to a 2.6 kernel and so far haven't noticed this
behavior yet, but time will tell.

[mythtv-users] [OT] smbfs weirdness
I run samba for file sharing on my network. I do this primarily becuase I have 3 linux machines and 3 windows machines. Here are the machine names and some details to help me explain whats going on: Omoikane - 2.4.32 kernel, samba 3.0.13, Has some shares open Kosmos - 2.6.14.2 kernel, samba 3.0.21a, Has some shares open Galatea - 2.4.26-epia1 kernel, samba 3.0.9, No Open Shares When I connect to a share from Omoikane to kosmos, everything is fine. Permissions appear correctly, uid, gid, etc is all correct. When I connect from Galatea to Omoikane or Kosmos everything is fine. Permissions, gid, uid, etc are correct. When I connect to Omoikane from Kosmos, permissions, uid, gid, etc. are wrong. All files default to rwxr-xr-x, with root.root as the owner. Conecting to a windows share has the same behavior. When I connect to a windows share from omoikane i get rwxr-xr-x root.root wich is what I expect. The windows share permissions don't bother me. What I can't figure out is why only kosmos fails to get privs correctly. The only thing I can think of is that kosmos is running a 2/6 kernel whereas the other two machines are still using 2.4 kernels. I took a gander at the kernel configs and saw that the 2.4 kernels had a unix extensions option for smbfs, whle the 2.6 configs do not. 2.6 also had CIFS while 2.4 did not. Has the 2.6 series dropped unix extensions in favor of CIFS? I know the first answer people will propbably give is "use NFS", of which I am looking at it. I like samba as it's one network file system that I have to trouble shoot and all my machines can use it. Any clues? --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] [OT] UK DVB Satellite in US
I have a quick question for the knowledgable mythtv peoples. Is it possible to recieve UK dvb satellites in the US? I live on the east coast (In the grand sceme of scale, almost as east as you can get in the US). From what i've been able to gather channels like BBC are FTA on dvb sats. It would be cool if I could recieve them. I could most likely get an angle on the sat, but dunno how wide the dispersal is on the transponder. Anyone with more knowledge than me care to enlighten me on the subject? --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] 0/nfslock not found
Ok, so I decided to move my mysql database to my backend server as it is a faster machine. I was hoping this would help speed up the whole operation. I grabbed mysql 4.1 and got it operational on the backend machine. I then proceeded to copy the database from the server to the back end. (I exported via mysldump > Myth.db and mysql < Myth.db) However, when I went to start the backend it complained about not being able to open 0/nfs.lockfile (or whatever it is) Soi figured my database import didn't go so well. Well, I tried all kinds of stuff and stuff just seems broken now. I pointed mysql.txt back to the old server and I get the same problem still. Here's some other weird behavior. When I start with a fresh db on the new machine running mythtv-setup updates the schema and setup comes up. Once I close setup and re-run it, i get alot of "QTime::fromString: Parameter out of range" messages, and once I get past the yes no q's to the options it freezes and I can not navigate the options. I'm about at my wits end. I have no problem reconfiguring everything. I just don't want to lose the persistant data (recording schedule, file list, previously recorded, etc.) I haven't been able to find anything in the archives about the nfs lock problem... Any suggestions? --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone happy with wireless?
My backend is attached to the network via cat5. My only frontend is hooked to the bridge. The WET54gS5 is the only device currently active on my wireless network. I have no problems playing recordings and watching live-tv. For testing purposes I ran a cable down the stairs to connect it via cat5, and for the most part they behaved the same. I have stuttering when i bring up OSD's and stuff, but I think that is the M1 and not network lag (that and I don't have XvMC working yet, 70-80% CPU load) FF/RW I think was a touch faster. But nothing to drop wireless for. There are other wireless networks in the area, but I don't think i'm conflicting with any. I also have 128bit WEP enabled. My GF is getting a laptop soon so i'll see how it performs with the laptop generating heavy load. I just tested sending a file again and got 2.0Mb/sec to 2.7Mb/sec. --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone happy with wireless?
I use a WET54gS5. This allows me to hook all my internet enabled devices next to the TV without running a cable. My only gripe is the best i've benchmarked it at is 2MB/sec (16mbit/sec). This was done by transferring large files from my web server to a device behind the bridge. The good part is the damn thing finds wireless networks almost instantly. If I reset my AP it'll rejoin in under a sec. Then again it is always connected, so there is no lag time to the devices. It also finds wireless networks that my PCI NIC can't. --Nate On 5/1/05, Bryan Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recommend buying a wireless bridge as well.

Fwd: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 installation
If this is a double post for anyone i'm sorry. GMail isn't replying to the list right L( The Box is an Athlon 1.4Ghz on an ABit KT7-RAID. Can't remember the exact chipset but it is a VIA chipset. There are two NIC's and an old NVidia TNT2 in there as well, and thats it for expansion cards. When i compiled the kernel I added in very little. Basically if I wasn't using it I didn't add it. For instance there's no USB, even though thge board has it. Yea, those are from the Quickstart. And your right it will probably auto-detect. Next time I get a window in recordings i'll strip em out. Like i said, I was extatic i finally got it working so I just left it, seeing as it took me 2 days. :) --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 installation
I just got my PVR-500 last weekend. Took some frigging but I got it to work. Seems to work great now. Next step: Get a cleaner cable signal to it :) I started with a 2.4.29 kernel (It was the kernel already on the machine), but the tuner module in 2.4 will not work with the 500. So i upgraded to the 2.6.11 kernel. I didn't build any v4l modules. I used the 0.3.2q drivers (latest at the time of install). For the longest time I just couldn't seem to get the damn thing to work. I could record the composite in fine, but could not tune a channel. I powered off the machine and powered it on and magically it started working. So apparently at some point during my trials and tribulations a register got set and never cleared. Anywho, it's working great now. So I guess my tip is power off and on if things don't seem to work. (Someone else on the forum posted that as well, sage advice :) ) This is my modules.conf if your curious. And to anyone else if you see something redundant feel free to point it out. alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1,-1,-1,-1 options cx25840 i2c_enable=1,1,1,1 no_black_magic=1 options wm8775 mixer=1 options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=57,57,57,57 I should get brave and expiriment to see if any of those options really aren't needed. But it's working, and I kinda wanna leave it that way for awhile. I just 'modprobe ivtv' and bing, there it is.

[mythtv-users] Dieing Hard Drive
So one of my hard drives is dying, or maybe it finally has died and I'm just unwilling to admit to the fact. It's a 120Gb WD 7200 non special Edition. Ironically enough this is my newest drive. I have older drives still running fine. Anyways, The drive started making horrible clicking noises. not wanting to further any damage I hastily shut-down and removed it. Since I've hooked it back up to try and get the files off of it. The horrible clicking has stopped, and I can see some of the directory structure, but when I go to try and copy a file it just errors. I ran WD's tools in an attempt to fix the drive, it ran for awhile before erroring out because of "too many errors". Dunno if anyone has any words of wisdom as to how I may recover this drive. The files on it aren't crucial, but it would be kinda depressing to lose em. I realize this this is off-topic as it's not directly myth-related, and for that I apologize. I'm just looking for a little glimmer of hope before I give up. (I was using part of the drive to store myth files, but I also had other stuff on there) --Zims ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Mythmusic - Updating Songs
Is there a way to update the mythmusic database without going into mythmusic? --Zims ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Re: mythtv backend on a headless fileserver
VNC is useful for people like me who have Linux and WIndows systems. My windows machine is my primary system (dual-monitor too), and my linux machines are very much utility (One is attached to the TV, one is in the closet.) I have and do run the X server from Cygwin, but it is buggy to say the least. VNC just works. And when I'm at work (win 2000 workstation) I can use VNC to access my server. FYI: I built and installed tightvnc (I run slackware) but I had to modify the code some to get it to compile. --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Can a master backend have no inputs?
I'm in the same situation. I have my server in the closet that provides services to my network (DHCP, DNS, MySQL, etc.) but it has no capture cards. Nor can I put any in. This machine is also a low power system. Saves me $$ in electricity. Since this machine is on all the time I too would like to have it wake up other slave backends when there is work to do. I have a development server that I only turn on when I am writing code that I can put capture cards in. I also have my front end downstairs. I'm still building my system, but this would be the ideal setup for me. When I do get enough stuff to try and get it up and running i'll report my findings. --Nate ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
