Re: [mythtv-users] [Semi-OT] Intel 2200 Wireless chipset with Myth...
I use this card on my laptop (inspiron 700m) and it works flawlessy... you need to use the kernel module ipw2200. Vic Kevin Kuphal wrote: Darren Black wrote: I just bought myself a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop (wasn't keen on buying Dell, but the price was good and it's a surprisingly nice machine). The machine contains an Intel 2200 wifi card as part of the Centrino package. My attempts to get the card working well in FC4 have been, well... ugly would probably be the best word. That's perhaps a little beside the point of this post. What I'm really wondering is if anybody here uses such a card under linux to stream TV/recordings over. In the times I have actually had the card functioning, the wireless connection was unable to sustain a constant stream (without pausing and jitter). My streams are from a PVR150 card and encoded at up to 8500kbit/sec. I have tried turning the bitrate down to 6500 which helped, but not for very long. My previous wireless gear was some DLink b+ standard equipment. My current router is a Linksys WRT54GS. I should be getting better throughput with this setup, however this is not the case in Linux (to this point at least). Performance in Windoze is alot better - the same recordings play back problem free using dsmyth. I suspect that my inability to configure the card correctly is the cause of the poor performance, but I'd like some feedback to either confirm or disprove this hypothesis. So do let me know :-) While I can't answer your question here, Dell does make some Linux resources available.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox with root via NFS?
I tried that... I originally put the swap on my file server and didn't use the harddrive once it booted into linux. The NFS swap was horrifically slow. I do not recommend it, however if your harddrive has a 10gig instead of an 8gig, you could use the extra 2 gigs for swap (which the xbox doesn't use). If that still isn't an option, you could use a fatx file for swap like Ben mentioned (which I have never done). Yet still you could upgrade to 128 megs of ram and try without swap entirely. but having 64mb of ram and NFS swap is a slow solution.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox with root via NFS?
Shallax, gentoox developer, has a couple really good utilities to control the hardware, including a utility to quiet the fan down from 20% all the way to 100%... you could play with it and see if thats whats causing the noise. The fan is hands down the loudest component of the xbox. Vic Ben Dash wrote: I know that the fan on my old xBox fan is a little noisy and eventually I'll replace it with a quieter one, however, I had no idea that the hard drive was a noise problem. Obviously I can't hear anything above the noise of the fan currently. If the hard drive becomes a problem I'll probably replace it with a seagate barracuda since I've had good experiences with them and find them to be completely silent. I already have the 128MB RAM thanks to xboxrepairguide.com and I was curious how well you box was working with just the 64MB, or are you merely talking about your future plans. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Nov 28, 2005 at 07:18:54AM -0800, Ben Dash wrote: I'm not sure what you'd gain by not using the hard drive for swap, my swap file is just a 256MB file on hda50.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV on Xbox, again
Getting Linux to Boot
In order to get Linux to boot you need either Cromwell or
xbeboot. I personally use Xromwell (xbe version of
Cromwell). They are very similar in their configuration,
but I'll stick to Xromwell here on out. Xromwell is a grub
type boot-loader so its configuration file (linuxboot.cfg)
is similar to grub's. Check out:
http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Cromwell_Manual#Linuxboot.cfg_syntax
for syntax.
I personally use the UXE to run Xromwell. UXE will take
control of the xbox and look for E:\debian\default.xbe to boot.
Xromwell is hardcoded to look for E:\linuxboot.cfg. If
Xromwell finds your linuxboot.cfg a FATX option will appear.
Xromwell also allows you to load your kernel over bootp; I've
never done this so I'm not sure how good this is. Instead I
compiled a kernel and copied it to E:\ and netbooted the
filesystem but not the kernel.
Compiling your kernel
I'm a big fan of the 2.6 kernel (not to say that I'm not of
the 2.4 kernel) so I compiled a 2.6 kernel for my xbox. At the
time of setting up my xbox the most recent was 2.6.12. However
as of now (10/14/05) there are xbox patches up 2.6.13. Download
the patches:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192package_id=147485
and patch your corresponding kernel version. Then load up your
kernel with Xromwell, if your kernel is working, you should see
Unable to mount root=
Kernel Options
FATX - FatX is not needed if you don't plan on manipulating the
harddrive, but I'd recommend compiling it as a module as it is
experimental and I have seen some problems with it.
ReiserFS,ext3,ext2 - Not needed since there will be no mounting
of any of these filesystems.
ALSA - I would disable this. I didn't and ran into some problems
with alsa 1.0.19b. Make sure you install 1.0.18 as I know this
works.
Processor Type - Subarchitecture - XBOX - I'm pretty sure this is
enabled by default when you run the xbox patch, but just make sure.
i2c - This is required to be able to control your fan speed and
your led. More on this Later.
Gentoo
Gentoo's emerge is a very nice utility that just wont run on 60megs
of RAM. If you are netbooting, you can just chroot on the NFS server
and run the emerge from the NFS Server. If you aren't nebooting,
make an NFS server on the xbox, and chroot from another machine that
has mounted the xbox harddrive somewhere. Before you emerge make sure
you are using the xbox make profile. See:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_for_Xbox
i2c
GentooX's Shallax wrote some very nice utilities to control the
hardware on the xbox. They can be found at
http://cvs.xbox-linux.org/viewcvs.py/xbox-linux/shallaxs_i2c_stuff/

Of course another benefit of this would be that I get remote control functionality for free, as I'm using a wireless keyboard at the moment. However, most of the information I've found on the web is out of date, and the instructions at http://bit.blkbk.com/ refer to Xebian 1.0.3 which I cannot locate at all. So with this in mind, can anyone share their experiences of setting this up? Can the xbox hardware handle the load? My back end is saving the DVB transport stream straight to disk and i'm not transcoding anything. Pros / Cons? Cheers!

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
I agree it does seem to be a generic issue, however I can't resolve it. I followed the steps that lirc gave to edit the rules on the devfs and still no dice. No there is no node only /dev/lircd which isn't it. Someone said they got it working on 2.6.10-xbox kernel so I might play with that soon. BTW, I'm netbooting, don't know if that complicates anything.

Re: [mythtv-users] Same channel in different sources, always record from lowest numbered channel?
My first card is already the one connected to Dish, I reconfigured the lineups grabbing Dish's first but it didn't make a difference. I solved the issue by setting this card's priority to -10 and giving a -1 priority to cable channels I want to get on Dish if available. Somehow, giving a negative priority worked better. Thanks for your help. On 5/9/05, Bruce Markey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Victor Perez wrote: I have ESPN on channel 33 (Cable) and channel 140 (Dish Network). If I set a recording from channel 140 It always activates another tuner card on channel 33 instead, even if I am watching channel 140 in live tv and hit record. Any way to force Mythtv to record from channel 140 without removing channel 33 from the lineup? Several. MythTV's scheduler does 'channel matching' where channels with the same callsign can be treated as being interchangeable so if the card(s) for one source are busy it can record the station from the other source. By default, the lowest numbered cardinput is chosen when the priorities are equal. So, here are some things you could do in a likely order of preference. - If you normally want the Dish channels to be used when available, run mythtv-setup again. remove your card information and re-enter your cards in order of preference so that the Dish inputs are first and the analog cable inputs come later. 140 would then be the first choice for ESPN unless all Dish inputs were busy then it would choose 33. - Keep your current card setup and in the Input Connections section of mythtv-setup add 1 for the Dish input preference. However, this has a subtle intended difference. Say Dish is card 1 and analog is card 2. Show A is on at 8pm and has a higher priority than show B. B is on at 8pm and 11pm. Normally A would record at 8 on card 1 and B at 8 on card 2. With input preference you are saying that it is better to record with the better card whenever possible. A would record on card 1 at 8 and B on card 1 at 11 when it can be recorded with the better card. - Go to TV Settings-Recording Priorities-Set Channel Recording Priorities. You could either lower 33 by 1 (this may be better) or raise 140 by 1. This says that it is better to record on 140 than 33 when possible. If you raise 140 it says that shows on ESPN are one better than shows on other channels and give them an extra advantage when resolving conflicts. - You could use the mythtv-setup Channel Editor to mis-match the callsigns by changing 140 to ESPN-Sat or ESPNS or something. Single, Timeslot, Weekslot or Channel rules would use just 140 for ESPNS and just 33 for ESPN. However, you would loose the ability to fail over if the Dish input is busy and an All record rule or a Find* type for Teammates or Baseball Tonight or whatever might be on ESPN and ESPN2 would still probably end up using 33 in favor of 140.

Ivtv seems to be detecting the 150 fine, without errors but video1 is giving me nothing, not even static, while video0 (the 350) works fine. Here's my modules.conf snippet (note that ivtv is autodecting both tuners as type 47): alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=1 tuner=47,47 options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 I'm sure the problem is in the options ivtv line. Any suggestions? You need some i2c_enable statements in there. I have a 350 in the same box as a 500, works just fine. Try this: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1 options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=1 tuner=47,47 options cx25840 i2c_enable=-1,1 no_black_magic=1 The saa7127 driver for the 350's output is hijacking the i2c bus on the 150, the -1 to i2c_enable tells it to not enable for a given card. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got a question?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR 350 and WinTv Go?
I have that config right now on my Knoppmyth R4V5 and bttv looks like crap over the PVR-350 tv-out (AMD Sempron 2200). Sometimes I use nuvexport so I can watch sports recordings a little better. I recommend you hold the money and better go with a PVR-150. I already bought one ($66 on Amazon) and I am holding for a new release of Knoppmyth with 0.18 before I plug it in, after I do that I am going to use the bttv with motion for a security camera.

Do shows recorded by the WinTV Go work with the PVR 350 out (high / low cpu usage) I currently have a 350 w/ TV out working an an AMD duron system (*1.3 GHz) and was thinking about adding a dirt cheap card for PIP and when two shows need to be recorded at the same time. A search in the archives says that the WInTv Go card uses only Bttv driver, and that leads me to belive that ouput over the 350 would be wierd.

[mythtv-users] [nuvexport] upgrade to nuvexport-0.2 broken
I have been running nuvexport from the file
nuvexport-2004-11-02.tar.bz2 I downloaded from forevermore.net. Today
I downloaded the latest 0.2 release
(nuvexport-0.2-cvs20050126.tar.bz2) and after make install I get the
following when running nuvexport:

I am running koppmyth V4R5. I have been searching the forums for any
information on dependencies I should install but can't find anything.
