[mythtv-users] Conexant CX23880/1/2/3
What kind of capture card is Conexant CX23880/1/2/3? I have tried all variants, but it makes no difference, I just get noise on the screen, so I assume the real problem may be that I haven't got the channelse set up correctly. Is there a good guide on how to set up mythtv? /jan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Redirecting PVR-350 audio to soundcard for live TV / playback
After googling this problem for over a week, I'm beginning to think there is no solution. But hopefully someone here can tell me once and for all if this can be done or if it can't and I just need to let it go and move on. My setup: Compaq DeskPro EN SFF - 400MHz Celeron (Mendocino), 128MB RAM, ES1869 onboard sound WinTV PVR-350 (model 48132, rev. K268) w/ tuner LG TAPE H001F MK3 (type 47) Gentoo 2005.4, kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 (gentoo-sources) IVTV 0.4.0 (latest from IVTV site) MythTV 0.18.1-r1 (emerged) My problem (and some history): The PC is a small form factor originally intended as a network appliance. Painted black, it looks sharp with my other stereo components. However, there is no audio line-in on the rear bezel nor pinned out on the motherboard. I started with a 2.4 kernel but couldn't tune in any stations; an upgrade to 2.6 seems to have fixed that (though it could have been one of the many other things I tried). Everything works, but the audio from live TV and playback comes through the PVR-350 (in MythVideo, mplayer plays video through the PVR-350 and audio through the ES1869). As noted, I can't loopback audio from the PVR-350 to the ES1869 as there is no line-in. I know that audio can be pulled directly over the PCI bus from bttv cards; I'm wondering if the same can be done with a PVR-350, and how I would set that up? I read that MythTV 0.18.1 fixes "live TV audio loss when viewing mpeg2 transport streams." That sure sounds like my problem, but maybe I've misconfigured something so that bug fix isn't implemented? Maybe Gentoo's MythTV-0.18.1-r1 is configured a certain way and I need to unmerge it and download and compile directly from the MythTV site? I have one PCI slot free so I can put another sound card in, but I find this solution distasteful as I already have a perfectly good (if incomplete) sound card on the motherboard (which took some effort to set up, too). But if I have no choice, I have no choice. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Yet another hardware list
Peter Schachte wrote: As I understand it, that part will not support cool n quiet operation. I believe you have to go up to a 3000+ to get that. Cool n quiet, with the kernel's cqu frequency scaling enabled, slows the clock when the cpu load is low, saving power and heat, and allowing your cpu fan to slow down. I've got an Athlon 64 3000+ and have frequency scaling working very well. The lowest clock speed supported seems to be 1 GHz, though. I wish I could slow it even further for the times when nothing's happening and the machine is just acting as a file server. I don't know if it is a well know problem or problem many people have, but on my AMD64 system with a PVR350 recordings & live-tv show stutters,audio glitches and mpeg-artifacts if I enable cpu-frequency-scaling. I swapped the PVR throug various slots making sure it has its own IRQ. I also tested playing the mpeg2-stream directly with mplayer via "mplaver /dev/video0" giving me same audio glitches & artifacts, but no stutters. A file recorded through "dd if=/dev/video0 of=/tmp/test.mpg bs=1M count=20" also has glitches & artifacts. I had in mind that it might have to deal with freq-scaling, as the only thing I did was setup the freq-sacling before these issues startet. If this is not a misconfiguration on my side or a problem based on the specific hardware combination I use (maybe other AMD64 users can leave some sentences here), I suggest not to use freq-scaling in combination with Mythtv. FWIW, here my system specs: CPU: AMD Athlon64 3200+ MB: Asus A8N-SLI RAM: Kingston Value-Ram (2*512MB in dualchannel mode) GPU: Nvidia Geforce 6600GT PCI-Express TV: Hauppauge WinTV PVR350 HDDs: 1x 80GB Maxtor IDE containing my System (good for making scrambled eggs on, if not cooled ;) ), 1x 160GB Samsung containing my /home + myth-partition for ringbuffer and recordings.

Help me develop the poor mans backup... (not only do I keep my Video files on the LVM (which I can afford to lose), but I also keep my main cpu backup there. That would be upsetting...) So here we go. I'll try to explain the different RAID-Levels and their advantages and disadvantages: RAID 0 (Zero) You need 2-n Disks. Data is getting split up on writing, putting part A on drive 1, part B on Drive 2 , part C on drive 3 (or it starts with drive 1 again, if your number of Drives has been reached. This is also known as "Striping" or "Stripeset" for People coming from Windows. A 2-drive Example: 1 2 A B C D E F etc. With 3 Drives: 1 2 3 A B C D E F Advantages: Fast! Because every drive hast to fetch/write only half of the data you theoretically should get double performance. You can use the full Space on your drives. Disadvantages: If 1 drive crashes ALL of your Data is gone. RAID 1 (One) You need 2 Disks. Data is mirrored on both drives. Example: Drives: 1 2 A A B B C C etc... Advantages: Faster on reading, because one half of the requested data is read from drive 1 , the other part from drive 2 Full HDD-crash redundancy. If 1 Disk goes out for lunch the other has a exact copy of all data. You can replace the defective disk and the RAID-array will rebuild and continue operation as normal. Disadvantages: You can only use half of your Disks-capacity, because everything is mirrored. RAID 5 (Five) You need 3-n Disks. Data is striped over n-1 Disks. The left space of 1 disk is used for parity/recover information. (For loadbalancing/speed the parity is spread over all drives) Example (3 Drives) (p is parity information) 1 2 3 A B p C p D p E F G H p etc. Example (4 drives): 1 2 3 4 A B C p D E p F G p H I p J K L etc. Advantages: As you can see: The more drives, the less (percentual) loss of space. I have 4*200GB RAID5 (800GB, 600GB useable, 25% loss for my video-storage. With 3 drives it would be 33% with 5 only 20%. Fast reading. Same as RAID0. Chunks were fetched synchronously from the different drives.Slightly enlarged write performance. The host CPU has to calculate the parity data for each block written. (IIRC this is done via orthogonal vectors) You have maximum space AND the security, that no data is lost if only ONE drive fails, as in 1st case: all data is completely on the remaining drives, or 2nd case: some parts are lost, but can be reconstructed on the fly using the parity information. Disadvantages: Most onboard-Controllers/external Controllers do not support this mode. You have to use Linux Software-Raid,wich is not really much slower than hardware RAID, but pulls some CPU-Power on writing. There is the option of using RAID6 with is same as raid 5 with 2 chunks of parity, making it resistant against failure of 2 drives at once. My personal favourite is RAID5. Better speed, best cost/use relation. Then you have the option of creating a LVM on the RAID Device wich allows you to use all the nice features of LVM and being safe from HDD-Failures. So... that's my small RAID GUIDE. If there are any questions... hmm... I hope I can answer them.. ;) hth, Jan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I am getting ready to build a mythTV machine from a lot of extra parts I have around and would like some input on hardware and interfacing into my current AV system. I have an Athalon 1700 on an Abit KD7 raid motherboard with 256 mb ram. For use with a PVR-series card this should be enough... But comercial flagging and trancoding need much horsepower, so a faster Prozessor is always nice, if you plan to transcode alot. BTW: I would build this Box with 512MB RAM. You can never have enough RAM ;) 1) should I consider getting 4 drives the same size and use the hardware raid in stripping mode? For Data-Security i would never use Striping or raid0 If you consider buying 4 Drives, i would suggest to use Linux Software-RAID5 & LVM 2) I have a WinTV PVR 250 working for capture using ivtv 0.4.0. The hardware browser says it is a "Intermext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder", is this good enough for MythTV? This should work fine with ivtv 4.0 & Myth. The PVR-Series has the great advantage, that the videostream coming out of the card is already MPG2, so your CPU just needs to store it to your HDD(s) without any encoding. 3) The video card is a Matrox Millennium G400 AGP, the one that can use dual head, had it doing TV out under RedHat 9. Will it work well with MythTV? If you get TV-Ot working, you can give it a try. I read somewhere, that the Matrox Millenium G400 Series has an excellent TV-OUT. 4) Sound. My current AV system has a Sony 5.1 amp with a MD (digital tape) input and output, like old cassette tape monitior recievers. The motherboard has a VIA AC97 audio controller with a 5.1 fiber output which I think can be inputted to the Sony MD input. Is there another audio card I could add to capture 5.1 into MythTV. My AV source is DirecTV which provides 5.1 (if available) to the amp. Don't know about this... Maybe there will be problems with Audio/Video-Sync if you want to record the video with the PVR and the Sound as 5.1. AFAIK, the PVR's cannot record 5.1 Also the PVR's have a 2sec-delay compared to watching the same content directly on a TV. This is the time needed to do the Hardware-MPG2 encoding. Maybe someone else could give you more detailed information on this.

The main web page of the mythweb interface loads up perfectly, but when I try anything from there on, I have the following messages: (click on a show listing) Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in /var/www/html/mythweb/themes/Default/program_detail.php on line 373 (manual scheduling) Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in /var/www/html/mythweb/themes/Default/schedule_manually.php on line 185 etc... I am operating on a brand new FC4 install with yum having updated the system (and installed mythtv-suite). I couldn't find anything on this error in the mythtv.org website or on this list, has anyone run into this? Thanks! -Jan -- "Give a man fire- keep him warm for a day.

[mythtv-users] Problems with playback using mythtv >=0.16
Hello there! I'm using mythtv since 0.13 and i was very happy with it 'til the release 0.16. With that version the playback of my recordings has become extreme disruptive (both audio and video) without any sync between audio and video. The cvs-source from 30th January also has this problem (message is "prebuffering pause"). Another problem with the cvs-source occurs if i try to use the alsa or arts support. Compiling the support for alsa and arts in seems to work correct, but if i try to use that version, any sound configuration (even OSS, which works if compiled in solely) throws out this error: 2005-01-30 17:10:08.848 Opening audio device 'default'. ALSA lib control.c:654:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL /dev/mixer 2005-01-30 17:10:08.882 Mixer attach error -2: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Check Mixer Name in Setup: /dev/mixer The recordings itself are correct, i tested it using mplayer. Version 0.15 produces regularly but only one or two times an hour prebuffering pauses, in which the playback misfires, and only for less than a second. That's absolutely tolerable for me, so i'm using 0.15 in the moment. My Software: mythtv, compiled on an Gentoo Linux (2004.3) using a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel and compiled with support for alsa, arts, oss, xv and opengl. I've also tried a vanilla kernel version 2.6.8.1, but without any difference. My Hardware: Tyan Tiger 2466 (2x Athlon MP 2000+) Radeon 8500LE SBLive Hauppauge WinTV Theater 2x Samsung SP1614N (160GB each) using linux software-raid for /mnt/video ... (some other hardware exists, but i think they shoudn't matter. If needed, i'll provide additional information. ) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I was able to watch TV manually at one point (I'll have to > double-check this tomorrow). Make sure that mythbackend doest fire off _before_ rc.local. (Which it does if you follow Jarods guide, or use any rc-skript to start ivtv and mythbackend). Remember: rc.local executes _last_ of _all_ initscripts. After a LOT of trial and error, I use this rc.local /sbin/sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 /sbin/modprobe videodev /sbin/modprobe ivtv /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000 /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 0 /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f width=720,height=576 /sbin/modprobe/lirc_i2c /sbin/service lircd start /usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend -d Prolly not the smartest way.. but it _works_ for me ;) (And yes, there is a reason for the 0x3000 -> 0xff setting. Check list archives for reason). . ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] OT: Sensors and Pundit-R
(More than) Slightly off topic, but there seem to be a slew of Pundit-R users here, so ill ask... Whats the most clever way to read sensor info from the Pundit-R?

[mythtv-users] Xorg.conf for PVR350/PAL?
I just can't seem to get my config right for my PVR-350. Is there someone on this list that's running Xorg on their PVR350 and is a PAL-user?

[mythtv-users] The last(?) hurdle
Alright, i gave up on my Audigy 2 LS, and Took the Live 5.1! from my other system and put that in my Pundit-R. Yey, works! (But no 5.1 over SPDIF, but that's expected I suppose). Now, some cosmetics: Is it possible to change the "thumbnail" for a show? I would like to grab a frame that's 5 mins into the recording. But I cannot find an option to do so even tho someone hinted that it is in fact there? Quality: When can I find a definition of High Quality / Low Quality / Live TV? . ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
