Interesting, because I'm having thoughts over similar problems/ideas. Here is my understanding - someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using DVB-T here in the UK, so it's in a native MPEG2 format when it comes down. I believe the Hardware Encoder profile in Myth is pointless in this regard,

Hi Shaun, Unfortunately, the iMON INSIDE (which fits into a floppy bay) appears to only be an IR receiver - it doesn't have the VFD display module. Ideally, I'l like both LCD/VFD and reveiver in one unit that fits in a 3.5 bay, but I'd be more than happy with just the display. CrystalFontz do a

Why are you transcoding these files when they're MPEG2 to start with? Here's a quick test - transfer one of your DVB recordings to a Windows machine, rename it to .mpg, and try to play it. If you've got MPEG2 codecs installed, you should see crystal clear video. Yes, I'd thought that, but a

I've got a problem with the transcoding portion of Myth, with the following rather unhelpful entry in the log file :- 2005-02-23 23:46:17.521 Transcoding from /video/recordings/1033_2005022321_2005022322.nuv to /video/recordings/1033_2005022321_2005022322.nuv.tmp 2005-02-23

[mythtv-users] apt-get reinstalling

2005-02-21 Thread Daniel Howell
Hi all, A real quick one here - I started getting some unresolved symbol errors for no reason whatsoever, so decided on a re-install of myth (what with the latest update anyway). I'd assumed :- apt-get --reinstall install mythtv-suite ...would do the job, but it simply doesn't. No files created
