2005-06-12 Thread Chris Birkinshaw
I have setup automatic shutdown to perform the command "sudo /sbin/halt -p" (the default setting) on my master backend. When I look at the mythbackend output I see the countdown begin once the machine is idle, and then get down to "0 seconds until shutdown", but then nothing happens. I have

I'm in the same situation. I have my server in the closet that provides services to my network (DHCP, DNS, MySQL, etc.) but it has no capture cards. Nor can I put any in. This machine is also a low power system. Saves me $$ in electricity. Since this machine is on all the time I too would like

I am trying to split a 6GB nuv file recorded with my DVB card into chunks small enough to fit onto DVD, however am not having any luck. I tried "dvb-split_mpg filename.nuv 1000", but it just returned the usage information: "usage: split_mpg " Which is what I typed! I then tried to use GOPchop
