Re: [mythtv-users] OS X FE help needed
thanks to everyone that responded. i have use internal volume controls enabled, i have set the mixer to blank, the mixer controls to pcm and i have tried setting the audio device to both blank and /dev/dsp however i still don't get any sound. i also have a linux frontend that has the same problem, but i thought it was a problem with the sound card. now think they must be related. i guess i need to check the backend again... thanks again, daryl On Jan 24, 2006, at 1:09 PM, Peter Dash wrote: Mine has: Audio Output Device: blank (i.e. nothing in the text box) Use internal volume controls: checked Mixer Device: blank (i.e. nothing in the text box) Mixer Controls: PCM Peter. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] OS X MythFrontend 0.18.1 with plugins
If anyone is interested, I have compiled a version of SVN 8602 for Mac and packaged it up. It was tested on a G5 tower with a completely fresh load of OSX without any development environment against an SVN 8602 backend on Linux.

It's available at: http://www.xenotropic.com/index.php? option=com_remositoryItemid=33func=fileinfofilecatid=27parent=catego ry I had to change line 983 of osx-packager.pl to read: next if ($file =~ m,/Versions/A/\Q$dep\E,); where it reads next if ($file =~ m,/Versions/A/$dep,); in the original out of SVN. You need to escape the $dep so that it doesn't interpret characters in the variable as a part of the regular expression. Namely there's a C++ library in there, so libstdc++ (or whatever it is) is a screwy regexp that won't compile. I think this is the right fix, but I haven't tested it extensively. It just could screw up the entire regexp and it works because it's evaluating $dep as a literal, but I haven't had much time to look at it. If some other perl guru has a chance to look at it, that'd be cool. Ok, there are now two new 0.18.1 versions at thesniderpad.com.

Mister Snider,
I am wondering if this has to maybe do with where I am storing the
MythFrontend.app.
I am just pulling it over into Applications and launching from there.
Are you, perhaps, building it somewhere else and the path is getting
screwed up based on this?
The themes are all in the proper place, but it really is borking out
while looking for them.
Another thing I am looking at it qt3. I tried compiling 3.3.4 based on
the directions at
http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/MythOnMacOsx
but I am getting errors during make. I am walking this path to try and
install the plugins myself.
After this borked twice, once with make sub-src based on the directions,
and then again with just make, I also tried the install from
http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/, but I am getting errors with this as well.
GRR.
So, I fired up Darwin-ports and am installing qt3 this way.
I was shocked at the amount of other packages that it puled over
(cups-headers, jpeg, zlib, etc). This seems to be working, but it will
probably not finish before I have to head to bed.
So, what do you think about all that?
I will post more on this tomorrow night.

I had a similar issue. I also tried the osx packager script but it always resulted in a make error. Assuming that everything was placed in the default locations when you installed the myth osx frontend go to a terminal and go into you home directory. Then cd into .mythtv directory. You should see a file called mysql.txt, you can change the backend IP in that file then retry starting the frontend.

Re: [mythtv-users] OS X frontend/Knoppmyth backend question
I have the same setup, and it's not really a Mac-specific problem with MythVideo, just one that you're more likely to run into on a Mac. The MythVideo database refers to the full pathname of each video file. That means that the NFS volume that you're storing your videos on (you are storing them on an NFS volume, aren't you?) has to have the same mount point on the Mac as it does on the Knoppmyth frontend. By default on the mac, all mounts are in the /Volumes directory. If your only other device is a Knoppmyth pc running the backend and frontend, it might be easier to create a /Volumes directory there, and move your video. If that's too much work, you have two options on the Mac. First, you can use the command line tools on the mac to mount the NFS volume in the same location as on the Knoppmyth box. Then create a StartupItem (see http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ BPSystemStartup/Tasks/CreatingStartupItems.html) to mount it each time the computer starts up. The second way is to mount the NFS volume in the finder as usual, drop it in your startup items list, and create a link at the mount point that MythVideo expects to the NFS volume in the /Volumes directory. This is easier, but I haven't had much luck yet with it working reliably across reboots.

The 0.16 backend and CVS frontend will refuse to talk to each other, but since you're not using the TV functionality, that should not matter. In fact, you don't need a backend running at all if you're only using the video and music functions. You need the database up and running, but the backend is superfluous. The CVS frontend will upgrade the database schema, which could cause the 0.16 backend to fail or corrupt your data if you try to actually use it, so it's probably best to shut down the backend entirely.

Re: [mythtv-users] OS X
Thanks for the prompt reply, Jeremiah. I wish I had waited until I had asked my questions before plunging off into thin air. Turns out my MacMyth frontend DID indeed corrupt my backend database! How badly, I'm not sure. I'm attempting to fix things now. So far, all that I've detected is that my video database no longer links the movies with their respective .jpgs/descriptions/imdb info. Next Questions: 1) i've reinstalled Panther on my MacMyth frontend (it's a scratch disk until I learn how to do this properly!). that wiped out any potential trouble spots. now, which Myth version do I want? I only want to watch movies, so I only need access to MythVideo. So, I downloaded the CVS w/plugins version. It won't allow me past the initial setup screen because there is no backend. best approach? 2) do I need to go through the installation instructions on MythOnMacOSX, and then use the CVS w/plugins version? forgive me for appearing dense!

If you're talking about the MySQL settings screen, you do still need a database server. The backend offers two parts: an actual mythbackend process, and the MySQL database that is used by mythfrontend and mythbackend. The mythbackend program offers TV-watching functionality, the database is used by everything to store preferences and various other data. You still need the database half of the equation. The database server can run on your OS X box and be completely separate from your KnoppMyth box, though, so you don't get corruption again. I'd recommend this setup for you; I don't have any instructions on setting up a MySQL server, though I'm sure you can Google for some. If I've got this all wrong and you're stuck somewhere else, please post more details about what's going wrong. 2) do I need to go through the installation instructions on MythOnMacOSX, and then use the CVS w/plugins version? No, you don't need to do the MythOnMacOsx instructions if you use the binary; it has all of the dependencies included in its bundle. forgive me for appearing dense! (tis troo, nonetheless!) It took me months to figure out how all of the pieces talked to each other and when, and I was spending 10 hours a week programming on it. Don't feel bad for taking some time to get up to speed. =) - Jer ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] OS X Darwin Port
Sorry for the delay in reply. Apparently I was having some issues with Alsa, which I think I've got straightened out. However, I still don't have sound in the DarwinPorts frontend. FWIW, there is nothing I can select in Audio Output Device under setup, and also no Mixer Device I can select under volume controls. I've tried with and without using internal volume controls. Any suggestions? On Jan 20, 2005, at 9:40 AM, Justin Kim wrote: There's a preference for using/not using native sound. Try twiddling that. Also, the Darwinports Myth FE writes errors to the console log. You might want to try checking there.

Re: [mythtv-users] OS X Darwin Port
I would bet anything, that your Mysql on your backend is not configured to allow remote users. As before if you look inside the package contents and go to MacOs folder and launch the mythfrontend, it will run a terminal and tell you why it failed.

It should give you an idea of whats going on when it bombs out. I had a similar problem and it was due to it failing to connect to the backend system. Hope this helps.

I tried setting Keep in Dock after launching from the command line. I have tried copying the mythfrontend.app folder to the applications folder. Nothing seems to work. I have am long time BSD user but just in the last year switched to OS X for my personal desktop. Can anyone clue me in? I haven't tried the OS X version of Myth, but I do know OS X. I can try to help. If you have a program that is packaged as an appfolder (ends in .app if you look do an ls -l at the terminal), then it should already have an icon and be double-clickable.
