Help :( My last option is swapping the PVR500 for the software based capture card I had before :( Has anyone an idea why changing channels can enable sound? What exactly happens when you change the channel ?

Re: [mythtv-users] Video cards that can smoothly handle HD displaying without tearing
Yeechang Lee píše v Út 10. 01. 2006 v 02:54 -0800: Matt Mossholder [EMAIL PROTECTED] says: I've got a Sempron 64 3100+, running Nvidia driver rev 7667, with 1080i output over DVI, and have only some very slight tearing, which is consistently about 20% down from the top.

I've previously written here of a very similar tearing (I described it as shimmering) issue with my 6200 TC, and am very curious to hear of those who *aren't* seeing such issues with HD content. I have read elsewhere that a 6600GT is just fast enough to handle the displaying; it's also possible that a 5200 I got 5200 and 1080i on 768p looks good (sempron 3100+, XvMC).

Re: [mythtv-users] ALSA and real AC3 passthrough
Petr Stehlik píše v Čt 29. 12. 2005 v 14:21 +0100:
yesterday I switched my myth box from analog to digital sound output
(Asus K8V SE motherboard with its onboard sound). I got it working
relatively quickly with ALSA:digital driver (also ALSA:default
worked) but couldn't get the AC3 passthrough working correctly - on
AC3 DVB-S channels I heard only a noise. At last I managed to get the
AC3 passthrough (DVB-S ASTRA HD AC3 5.1 sound) working by setting
ALSA:spdif in myth. But that broke analog sound (analog TV capture to
32000 Hz MP3). Some analog sounds sometime work for a while if they are
44.1 kHz and the receiver is in a good mood (but it probably plays it a
bit faster since 44.1 is replayed as 48 kHz).
So basically I can get everything but real DVB-S AC3 passthrough working
with ALSA:digital or I can get everything but analog sound with
ALSA:spdif.
I copied the .asoundrc from the Digital Sound Howto.
Xine works properly with MP3 and AC3 sound.
My question is whether it's possible to set up the .asoundrc in a way
that it handles both DVB-S AC3 real passthrough and also analog-digital
conversion plus 32kHz-48kHz resampling.
To answer myself my own question: yes, it is possible. The
following .asoundrc (have spent whole evening on figuring it out :-)
does exactly what I always wanted:
=
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm spdif
rate 48000
format S16_LE
}
}
=
BTW, the format line might not even be necessary. The key is the rate
48000 (converts 32 and 44 kHz to SPDIF's 48 kHz) and pcm
spdif (routes sound via the digital out). With this and ALSA:default
set up everywhere (both TV and Music) everything plays correctly via the
digital out, including real digital AC3 5.1 passthrough sound from HD
channels. I am excited!

In the .asoundrc I found on the web there is an Alsa section called dmix
it's called dmix-digital in the Digital Sound HowTo.
(digital mix) which will convert the analog sound to the proper format
for sending out through the spdif.
But does it allow for AC3 passthrough at the same time? Do you have some
AC3 sound source? Have you tried say HD DVB-S or perhaps DVD replayed

pcm.nforce { type dmix ipc_key 1234 slave { pcm hw:0,1 period_time 0
period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 44100 } }
I have a very similar section there.
This may help, it is for gentoo, but you should get the general idea:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix
They focus on getting the OSS emulation working. No word about AC3 and
SPDIF.

[mythtv-users] bttv: too high load (esp. on replay)
Hi, I've built a BE/FE machine with 64bit Sempron 3100+ running 32-bit Debian plus nVIDIA FX5200 with accelerated driver (but couldn't get AGP working so running with NvAGP 0). Storing data to a fast SATA disk (ext3 noatime). Grabbing full PAL from bttv to nuv takes more than 60% of CPU (I think it's a bit too much but I could live with that eventually). Problem is that replaying such recording takes another 55% of CPU, so LiveTV is impossible (60+55 100). Worse yet, the bttv quality is very bad so I need to denoise it a bit. quickdnr takes another 20% of CPU. That's scary (55% - 75%). During the replay mythfrontend eats 35% (55% with quickdnr) and another 20% eats the Xorg process. Why the X running in fullscreen (720x576) consumes that much CPU? Am I missing Xv? It should be running with XvMC.. BTW, it's not broken completely because DVB-S LiveTV takes just 7% CPU (13% of CPU running at half of normal frequency thanks to Cool'n'Quiet). Can someone please tell me if it's normal for MythTV to create that high load. If not, what to fix? If yes, how to work around it? On my old Athlon 2200+ I am able to grab D1/2 PAL, crop, denoise, deinterlace and encode into MPEG4 in realtime with just 50% of CPU (mencoder). That's why I am surprised that 3100+ is so overloaded.

Imagine the bilingual movies are interleaved with blocks of ads in stereo. And the TV detects it and switches automatically from lang1 to stereo and then back to lang1 (not sure if it preserves the chosen lang but it should) when the ads end. IIRC, default sound was stereo if there was a stereo stream and Lang1 if there was a duo stream. This is exactly what I said. The only missing thing is to find out what channel is the lang1 transmitted in (yes, I am still at work so still no useful information, just vague replies :-).

default language channel when the bilingual transmission is detected.
Now it's up to me to look into xawtv source code to find out which
channel it is - either left or right, there is no more possibilities.
This is making me think that there may be some information transmitted
in the VBI about the audio.
No idea how it is transmitted. How is transmitted MONO vs STEREO
information? I have just looked into xawtv and tvtime source code for
some time but I can't see anything useful. I see getter and setter
functions for the MONO/STEREO/LANG1/LANG2 - they do work with the V4L
tuner directly.
V4L API defines four different sound encodings:
VIDEO_SOUND_MONO
Mono signal
VIDEO_SOUND_STEREO
Stereo signal (NICAM for TV)
VIDEO_SOUND_LANG1
European TV alternate language 1
VIDEO_SOUND_LANG2
European TV alternate language 2
and kernel bttv driver does this (in VIDIOC_G_TUNER):
if(va.mode VIDEO_SOUND_STEREO) {
t-audmode = V4L2_TUNER_MODE_STEREO;
t-rxsubchans |= V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO;
}
if(va.mode VIDEO_SOUND_LANG1) {
t-audmode= V4L2_TUNER_MODE_LANG1;
t-rxsubchans = V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG1 | V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG2;
}
See, if LANG1 mode is available then subchannels are LANG1 and LANG2,
and default audio mode is set to LANG1. This is the answer. It's all
handled by kernel so user application just have to set the right mode of
tuner, not to play with muting left or right channels.
Wow, I have just found it:
The rx subchannels description says that Some tuners can report the
audio subprograms received by analyzing audio carriers, pilot tones or
other indicators. The rxsubchans field contains flags defined in Table
4, which are set by the driver to indicate the audio subprograms the
hardware may currently receive.
So the driver does detect the audio type automagically and you just have
to set the audio mode correctly. Now when is the right time to detect
the change? It should be done periodically, most probably. Once per
second? Is there a good place in MythTV where I could try to put such a
code?
http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec-single/v4l2.html#TUNER-MATRIX shows
what happens if the mode is not set correctly.
BTW, this is rather interesting topic. After looking through the xawtv
source code I can't swear that it detects the lang1/2 automagically.
Maybe that MythTV would be the first one on linux platform that would do
that right :-) But then a certain default value would have to be set in
Myth (either record lang1 or lang2 by default) and what if user
preferred the other language in certain recorded programs? Seems to me
like most flexible will be to leave it as it is and then use the mute
left/right channel feature when watching the livetv/recorded program.

It added few EPG information to two rather unimportant (shopping)
channels and also to ProSieben (a bit more interesting channel). But
other channels are intact and empty. It's been running for three hours
in a row so I'd say that all information that is transmitted was already
put to the database.
So the commenting the above mentioned code helps me to at add EPG to at
least some channels but it doesn't work generally yet.

[mythtv-users] dual (bilingual) sound
Hi, does MythTV support dual sound (instead of normal stereo sound)? You know, some movies are broadcasted with dual sound - left channel of stereo sound is used for one language and the right channel is used for another language. Most often for translated/original sound. Is this supported in MythTV? If it isn't, any idea how to add it most easily? It basically requires to take just one channel and to send it as mono sound out. And to allow user to switch between the channels (lang1/lang2) would be a nice bonus.

Use amixer to switch the balance of your input (I'm assuming your tuner card uses line-in to get audio), and tie it to a lirc command (from the remote control). This got to work automagically. Just like it does in xawtv or other V4L TV apps. Besides that, your advice would need a bit more work - to mix the particular channel from AUX (or line in) to both channels. Or perhaps switching the output to mono would work. Not sure what would happen when everything is passed via SPDIF (haven't got that far yet).

In frontend settings: Independent Muting of Left and Right Audio Enable muting of just the left or right channel. Useful if your broadcaster puts the original language on one channel, and a dubbed version of the program on the other one. This modifies the behavior of the Mute key. Sounds great, but as I said, it should also switch the output to mono (both left and right speakers should get the same signal from the selected channel/language) and most importantly, it should work automagically.

Michael, you're right, I haven't even tried it out. I am very sorry that I replied before giving it a try. Can you please accept an excuse that these bilingual programs are not shown everyday on our TV? I would have to wait for next weekend so I decided to answer blindly. disclaimerThis post is full of sarcasm. Sarcasm is the price I'm asking you to pay I fully accept that. No problem. hope this approach was more beneficial to you than the other approach I would have taken (ignoring your refusal to test it definitely. I appreciate that. Thanks. OK, so now that we've ascertained that it does in fact work the way you want, we just have one more issue--how to make it work automagically. So, how do you propose we do that? Don't you have to make the decision which audio channel you can understand/you want to hear? Since the audio is analog, there's no metadata to describe which channel contains which information (i.e. which language), so anything Myth does would be just guessing. Well, this lang1/2 feature is hardwired in every TV set sold on (Czech/Slovak - maybe European, maybe even world-wider?) market and it works correctly so I assume that one of the stereo channels is set as default language channel when the bilingual transmission is detected. Now it's up to me to look into xawtv source code to find out which channel it is - either left or right, there is no more possibilities. You are of course correct that user might want to decide which language they want to listen to, but the default should be switching to lang1 automagically instead of playing both langs at once (like it does now). I'm sure it would be relatively easy to include a mute setting in the new playback group feature, but if the configuration changes, even that's not worth the effort. As pointed above, the configuration cannot change, IMHO. Now the question is whether the saved stream can keep the information about its bilingual sound or not. I guess (still guessing because I am sitting at work now and don't have time to start digging in source code of other applications - hoping that someone who just know the answer will pop up and correct me in the meantime) that normally the stereo/bilingual is reported by V4L core. But what to do with DivX or nuv recorded file? Sorry for the attitude. It seems that blind dismissals of suggestions are causing me to spend more time re-answering questions to convince someone it's worth their time to test my suggestions than I spend answering questions. I know what you mean. My only (poor) excuse is the one about rare programs with the bilingual sound. I'll try to make sure I tested everyone's suggestions before replying next time. Thanks.

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB EPG in MythTV?
Jakob Fix píše v So 26. 11. 2005 v 22:48 +0100: I've heard that Myth should be capable by now to retrieve EPG data from the DVB stream. There seems to be quite some talk on the dev list. Is this correct? If so, which version of Myth should one have in order for this to work? I just compiled latest SVN and can see some EIT related changes in the setup GUI (finally it doesn't force me to enter XMLTV nor DataDirect if I select the EIT). It even seems to do something since I just started the backend and it is tuning in the background to various channels, see below: 2005-11-26 23:14:03.971 EITScanner: Now looking for EIT data on channel 51014 2005-11-26 23:14:04.563 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started 2005-11-26 23:19:29.514 EITScanner: Now looking for EIT data on channel 30202 2005-11-26 23:19:30.028 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started ... However, I haven't seen anything in EPG yet. Maybe if I give it enough time? To your question which version I must tell that I've seen some EIT related settings even in 0.18.1, IIRC but I don't think it worked. Then in -r 7738 there were some improvements and in this SVN head now it seems to be finally implemented logically and maybe that it even works :-) Petr ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

RE: [mythtv-users] stable and bleeding edge together peacefully?
David Raine píše v Čt 24. 11. 2005 v 12:39 +: possible to compile and install the SVN head so it would be able to coexist on the same setup where I got the 0.18.1 stable working? I installed one to prefix=/usr/local/mythSVN and the other to prefix=/usr/local/mythSTABLE. I then have a script that removes and recreates symlinks to /usr/local/myth as required - this way I don't have to change the PATH for the mythytv user so you added /usr/local/myth/bin to your $PATH? I do have to re-run ldconfig after the symlinks are set up to make sure the libraries are referenced OK. What if you had two user accounts: stable and svn and their $PATH pointed to /usr/local/mythSTABLE/bin (mythSVN respectively) directly? That would save you the ldconfig, I guess. Pity I got the 0.18.1 installed to /usr/bin. I cannot unsymlink that path :-) Now I would have to rely on the precedence of /usr/local/bin if PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH. However, if myth keeps the same names for all binaries this *could* work. What do you think?

David Raine píše v Čt 24. 11. 2005 v 13:42 +: But then, I'd have to make sure that the gdm startup and backend startup stuff was using the same PATH, for me it was easier to build 0.18.1 and latest SVN and then, using the symlinks, I was guaranteed that I was using the latest libs. True, the libs! I also had all sorts of problems when the shared loader could see both libraries. I realized that changing $PATH didn't help for /etc/ld.so.conf... As well as I can't hide myth libs from /usr/lib. Uninstalling the packages is the only choice. Build 0.18 from source and install in /usr/local/mythX - once you have everything working, remove the relevant files from /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc. - ie, do a manual unistall. apt-get remove mythtv will do. You can rely on PATH precedence for the binaries but not for the shared libs. Yes. Thanks.

I am writing you as I have pretty much exactly the same dish setup. I am excited to see someone thinking the same way as me (German TV + UK TV). And, moreover, I live in France :-) Isn't it difficult for you to receive Astra 28? You must have a big dish. 85 cm is OK but only for some programs. Some others require 160 cm :-) What MythTV version are you running? 0.18 (from the debian src package) I am getting there now as well. Recompiled to a different prefix only a while ago and now I can't get it working :-O Will fix that tomorrow. I'm retrieving the EPG using tv_grab_dvb which is fed directly into mythfilldatabase. How do you retrieve the EPG from all streams? the tv_grab_dvd fetches EPG from the actual stream only which usually contains a just few programs. How do you do that? well, you're right, although I noticed this, I didn't think much about it so far. I was just happy that it started finally to all work out ... I guess a script that szap's to a stream, then runs tv_grab_dvb, szap to another stream etc. Right. This could do that job. But if the EIT worked (didn't for me yet but that was in KnoppMyth R5A22) things would be easier. I have played around with the time offset for XMLTV listings in mythtv-setup, but Auto, +0100, or None don't change anything. At worst we could process the XML before importing it :-)) Well, yes, as final resort. Maybe one of the developers is interested in this problem. One question you may be able to answer: How do you assign channel 1 to ARD (or BBC 1 or whatever) and channel 2 to ZDF ? I haven't do that yet. I used numbers like 6690 :-))) I must admit I have the stuff for less than a week so I am still in process of setting things up.

[mythtv-users] stable and bleeding edge together peacefully?
Hi, I just got the 0.18.1 working (from .deb) on a fresh debian sid install (after giving up on KnoppMyth R22) and I am wondering whether it is possible to compile and install the SVN head so it would be able to coexist on the same setup where I got the 0.18.1 stable working? Note that puting SVN to /usr/local (while the stable lays in /usr) and renaming the database (I don't mind keeping two databases) might not be enough so I decided to ask if someone runs such setup successfully.
