[mythtv-users] Bug in mythweb scheduled recordings/program detail
Is this the correct place for bug reports? It can display the wrong end time of a recording. For example on the program detail screen 11:00:00 AM to 12:00:00 PM (240 mins) The popup display on the scheduled recording page also displays the wrong stop time and it also displays the box on the program listing page around the wrong time period. If you enter a manual recording with a start time that is the same as a program listing for the channel but the stop time is not the same it displays this problem. The problem appears to be that it is pulling the information to display from the program listing, not the scheduled recordings from the database. The program listings has an entry from downloaded program guide and also one created when you manually schedule the show. It displays the data from the wrong one.

Re: [mythtv-users] directv d10-300 ... impossible?
The issue has been fixed if you're using the script found at http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml I've been using this script on my D10-200 box at least since July. There is an occasional snafu where the channel doesn't change for some reason I haven't yet been able to track down, but I'm recording Stargate SG-1, NFL Football, and the odd Buffy episode from our OTA channels which DTV stuck 100. Are you still seeing it with the Version 1.4 8/14/05? That has a fix for the above problem. With my -200 the box occasionally stops talking on the serial port requiring a power cycle before it will change any channel again. Since I am polling it every 90 seconds for my signal strength graph I suspect that triggers it more often. Does you D10-200 box lock up occasionally and need the power plug pulled to get it working again? I see it with both the box I am using with mythtv and boxes that are on TV's. Front panel power button won't do anything when trying to turn it on. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: dual head setup getting screen size from first screen
I asked on this list a while ago (archive doesn't seem to be searchable and google isn't finding it) with this same problem. If I remember correctly it worked properly until .17. If I manually specify -geometry 640x480 when starting mythfrontend it works ok for me so haven't looked into it further. See if -geometry works better than specifying size and position. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Directv channel change script directv.pl
I had a couple reports of occasional changes to wrong channel with my script directv.pl with D10-100 boxes using the new firmware. I have updated the script to query the channel and try again if you are using the setup_channel command. New version at http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml It looks like the box takes the remote codes and return the ok response but actually looses the first digit sometimes. This can also happen with the D10-200. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: Dual Monitor support?
Does Myth support dual monitors? I'd like to run the linux console on the primary display monitor and have myth tv output to the second port of my nvidia fx 5700 card. I am running a similar configuration with an ATI 9550 card. Display :0.0 is the linux console and :0.1 the mythtv screen. The linux console is 1280x1024 and myhtv 640x480. If you are using two separate cards they would be :0 and :1. Their are several different ways of mapping the two heads, others have described other methods. I am making them separate screens. I wouldn't recommend the ATI card right now since I the TV playback messes up the linux console and a AGP and PCI card don't seem to work together.

[mythtv-users] Re: My Tivo just died. Beyond or Myth?
2. Season pass option to be able to search for and record programs by name / date / keyword / new or rerun. Yes, even customize how MythTV determines reruns Where do you do this? I didn't see any obvious option in the menu or in the howto. For shows that are in the nth season (with previous seasons being rerun) I was only wanting to record this season's or the first showing of the episode. I couldn't figure out how to do this so used this time slot but that missed an episode when they had an extra long previous show and pushed its start time back. --- I think 2 more items that need to be considered is system stability, and ease of installation. That is a problem with Linux since manufacturers don't want to release information to allow good drivers to be written. I didn't do enough research before buying pieces for my system so had problems. I was wanting to use one machine for backend, frontend, and general use as my new main computer. I got a Asus A8V Deluxe with Athlon 64 3000, PVR 150, ATI 9550 9200 SE graphics and Fedora Core 3. Also had an old WinTV Bt878 video card to use as second tuner. The MythTV install, setting up guide etc. took a little while with reading some howtos -- it wasn't too bad but not trivial either. The PVR 150 support at the time wasn't usable. From the mailing list the progress looks good on the driver but I haven't had time to try again. For the ATI cards the TV out doesn't work with the open source driver and the ATI driver is not very good. If you use the video overlay on the second screen to get good TV performance it leaves a colored band of junk across the main screen so you can't use the computer if somebody else is watching TV through myth. I can't get the driver to work with the two cards at once. The original intent was to have myth on the 9200 and two screen on the main card for PC use. Buying a PVR350 probably would have solved the problems above (was more expensive and I thought the other solution would work). I also had the PC lock up solid a couple times at the start or end of a recording. With kernel upgrades etc. I haven't seen it recently (reruns have also reduced the frequency of recording though). The WinTV had a high frequency noise tone in its output (19KHz?) that the motherboard audio was splattering all across the low frequencies so was annoying at the default sample rate. I found that if I set the sample rate to 48 KHz it would not get splattered across the spectrum and at the high frequency it isn't audable. I assume this was another driver problem. These are all more generic Linux problems than MythTV problems but hurts the MythTV experience. I also have had the mythfrontend die several times with invalid free errors. The backend seems pretty stable. The only serious problem I had with it was the daylight savings time bug that caused the program guide to be an hour off which was fixed pretty quickly although I lost one recording due to it. I did verify the hardware I bought worked under XP but didn't try windows PVR software. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] DirectTV D10 Receiver - channel problems
Maybe we could merge our to products together?? http://ftp.jg555.com/satcontrol/satcontrol-0.02.tar.bz2 Feel free to take what you want from mine. Since the script I found that sort of worked was in Perl I just stuck with it. Email me if you don't read Perl and need to know more of what is going on. The D10-200 0.8.30 firmware (2002) seems to be real buggy. It required a carriage return after the command, it sometimes says bad command when you send a valid command, and it locks up on the channel change command randomly. To get around this I made the script try to send the command up to 4 times checking if it gets a completed ok response. I also switch to sending remote key codes since that didn't lock up the box. We have also had the box lock up overnight without anything talking to it. May be related to short power flickers. The -200 also seems to use a different set of control codes than documented online. The other goal of my script was something that people didn't have to edit but just type the string for your box in which in theory would make it easier for less skilled people to setup. I will try your script tonight and see how it works for me. Got to go to work. I emailed the one person who had some success with my modified script to try to figure out exactly why it doesn't work fully for him. If anybody else tries and want to work on getting it fully working for you I will need you to run some extra tests. If you email me we can get the script straight. For people who are trying the box_type D10-200 switches between sending carriage returns after the command and the second set of key codes. It also stitches to using the keys to change channel. The channel_change_type just selects between the command and key. You also may need the port command since the script I first put online defaulted to /dev/ttyS1 since that is where my box is. I have changed the default to /dev/ttyS0. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] DirectTV D10 Receiver - channel problems
What is the full number of your box? My script at http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml can change channels by sending remote keys. The D10-200 box I have will lockup sometimes with the normal channel change command so I added support to change channel by sending the remote keys instead of the channel change command. Try the script with the channel change command string directv.pl channel_change_type key setup_channel for manual testing add the channel number at the end. If you have a d10-200 box you will need box_type d10-200 also before the setup channel. You can also try without the channel_change_type key but I expect it will work the same as the other scripts. I only have a D10-200 so haven't tested on other boxes so would be interested in if it does work. I attempted to not break support for other boxes as I added the additional stuff. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
