ATM0, if I remember my Hayes command set correctly. I like having the speaker though, makes it easier to both troubleshoot connection problems and identify the connection speed. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

You could always make the dialup process silent, easy to do with the right AT command. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Actually, I use DVB-T so I get all my EPG over the air. I was thinking more of MythMusic/MythDVD/MythWeather/MythNews, without being able to initiate a dialup connection from the remote these are all partially or fully crippled for me.

As far as dialing programs the only one you have to let run is mythfilldataabase but can can set it to dial every other day and save some money. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Three quick things... 1. 0.18 + DVB For some reason I lost the UK DVB-T EPG data after updating to 0.18, no matter what I did I got no guide data (compile flags definitely correct). I updated to CVS yesterday and all is now well again. Commercial flagging is now working like a charm as well (in 0.17 it never really worked for me). I also had issues with the program guide hanging on me if I tried to move away from the initial starting point but this is also now resolved. All in all, many thanks for an excellent release that solved some other minor niggles I had as well. 2. Deleting files in MythMusic This may sound dumb, but how in Earth do you delete a file in MythMusic? I have a few CDs with empty tracks a few seconds long that I'd like to remove. 3. Internet connection Some Myth plugin features require an internet connection to work properly, I'm on dialup and hate on demand dialling (I don't care if something wants to update itself at 3am, I do NOT want my modem dialling while I try to sleep!) so I threw together a quick script to toggle the dialup internet connection when I press a remote button. It's only a few lines and is included below in case it's of use to someone else. Regards, Gayle #!/bin/bash # Toggle internet connection from within MythTV and show info on OSD. # For a list of available interfaces use cinternet -I INTERNET_INTERFACE="" # PROVIDER should be the name of the ISP as configured in KInternet PROVIDER="" if cinternet --interface-name=$INTERNET_INTERFACE --status|grep -q "disconnected" then mythtvosd --bcastaddr=127.0.0.1 --template=alert --alert_text="Establishing internet connection." cinternet --interface-name=$INTERNET_INTERFACE --provider-name=$PROVIDER --start else mythtvosd --bcastaddr=127.0.0.1 --template=alert --alert_text="Closing internet connection." cinternet --interface-name=$INTERNET_INTERFACE --stop fi ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
