Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Trouble getting component outputs to work with nVidia 6200
Actually, the first parameter after the name is the pixel-clock, and while it affects the horizontal sync it is not the actual HorizontalSync value. My system accepts a Horizontal Sync range starting at 30. I raised the pixel clock to 26.9 and achieved 30.1, which made this mode acceptable (I did this remotely, so I don't know what it looks like yet) I hope it will fix the overscan problem.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: autostarting mythfrontend under GNOME?
Not to beat a dead horse too badly, but determining whether you are in an xterm is trivial. .bash_profile: if [ "$TERM" != "xterm" ] then ./startmyth & fi then write a simple startmyth script (make sure its executable): #!/bin/bash sleep 10 # let gnome finish startup /usr/bin/mythfrontend Of course adding it to .xsession works equally, but more people are adept at scripts than configuring X. - Thom > Thom Sturgill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >>> On Tue, Mar 08, 2005 at 09:38:59AM -0500, Thom Sturgill wrote: >>>> > docs are on autostarting mythfrontend under KDE, any way to do that >>>> > under GNOME, too? >>> >>>> What's wrong with calling it from .bash_profile ? >>> >>> I really like mythfrontend, but not as much as to call a copy of it on >>> each invocation of the bash :) > >> In other words, unless bash is executed with the specific -l or --login >> argument, these files are ONLY executed at login. > > Right: including login via ssh, for example!

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: autostarting mythfrontend under GNOME?
>From the bash man page: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists. In other words, unless bash is executed with the specific -l or --login argument, these files are ONLY executed at login. -Thom, who's only been doing unix 20+ years > On Tue, Mar 08, 2005 at 09:38:59AM -0500, Thom Sturgill wrote: >> > docs are on autostarting mythfrontend under KDE, any way to do that >> > under GNOME, too? > >> What's wrong with calling it from .bash_profile ? >> Haven't tried it myself, but I would think it should work.

Re: [mythtv-users] autostarting mythfrontend under GNOME?
What's wrong with calling it from .bash_profile ? Haven't tried it myself, but I would think it should work. Starts before all of Gnome is finished loading, but after your environment is set. Since mythfrontend does not run in a window anyway that should be ok and should work in any X environment. > Hi, > > docs are on autostarting mythfrontend under KDE, any way to do that > under GNOME, too? > > Thanks. > -- > Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net > -- next part -- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: not available > Type: application/pgp-signature > Size: 189 bytes > Desc: not available > Url : > http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/attachments/20050308/4098fd39/attachment-0001.pgp > > -- > -- Indian River Community College Internet Services ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Mythmusic import problem
Running 0.17 on FC3 - everything compiled fine - no errors. Previously I had problems with mythmusic not looking up CDs. I deleted the rpm for libcdaudio and compiled it from source in order to update it to libcdaudio-0.99.12. Mythmusic now successfully retrieves the info from the internet, but crashes mythfrontend after encoding the first track (which IS written to disk, but IS NOT recorded in the database). The following error is the last entry in the log for mythfrontend: mythfrontend: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythmusic.so: undefined symbol: assert Scanning for new music also fails to list the newly scanned track. Any suggestions? I will probably dump the database table and try another rescan to see if there is some corruption. -- Indian River Community College Internet Services ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] mythmusic cvs and Importing CDs
I have mythtv installed from cvs (tonight) on FC3. The system is an Athlon 2500+ on an ASUZ A7V600-x (via K600 chipset) MB. The original install used Jarod's guide, but I went to cvs to get mythmusic to use alsa and my SPDIF out to my home theatre amplifier. While this IS working, I now find that importing CDs does not, or rather that the software does not identify the CD and tracks. The interesting point is that .cddb (erased before testing) now shows TWO entries, on with the correct data and one empty.

[mythtv-users] Play Music and ALSA
Sorry if this duplicates an older issue, but googling turned up no information. I have been reading the digest for a couple of weeks and have seen no pertinent discussion. I have just built a MythTv box using Jarod Wilson's FC3 guide. My system is: ASUS A7V600-X MB with an Athlon XP 2500+ cpu with 512MB RAM 40GB HD.(That will change soon) nVidia FX 5200 video card using the compoisite out. Hauppuage PVR-250 capture board (I also have an older WinTV PCI-PVR board that I have not been able to get to live peacefully with the 250 - but that's another issue.) I use a SONY Digital Audio/Video control center to power my surround sound. I use the composite video out from the 5200 and the spdif-out to the dvd inputs on the surround sound amp. TV and DVD work fine with XINE providing the dvd player. My main problems so far have been along the line of MythTV bailing. Seems to be a misconfiguration cured by dumping the database and starting over. My current problem is this - Playing music wants to output to the local speakers. Is their any way to get it to use ALSA:spdif ? This may be a short term problem - I am thinking of getting an Xbox and using it as a front end. This would let me use my other box for browsing and such when not recording. -- Thomas Sturgill Indian River Community College Internet Services ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
