Re: [mythtv-users] Think table as Class and record as Object

2006-01-13 Thread David Rudder
I think this is a good idea, but it's not as easy as all that. This is a fairly standard programming problem. The problem with simply modeling each table as a class is that it doesn't take into account foreign relationships. For instance, with the CardInput class, you'd want to be able to

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV, smooth playback on 3ghz, and 1080i?

2006-01-01 Thread David Rudder
I have almost the exact same setup and my playback is fine. I'm running on an Athlon 2600+, which is much less than 3HGhz. I have an nvidia 6200, but I don't think that makes a huge difference with 2D performance. One thing you didn't mention is whether your recordings are in SD or HD.

Re: [mythtv-users] (please respond) How do you use the keyboard instead

2005-12-28 Thread David Rudder
As always, the answer is it depends. Generally, try ctrl-alt-F7 or alt-F7. If that doesn't work, try F8 instead, or F9. You can also try issuing the command chvt 7, chvt 8 or chvt 9. Richard Bronosky wrote: I'm shocked that I have not heard any answers to this this question. So I'm

Re: [mythtv-users] Commercial Flagging, what are the best

2005-12-21 Thread David Rudder
This is a pretty off-the-wall suggestion. Is there anyway to detect V-Chip signals? I know within the US, all broadcast and cable shows have a V-Chip signal, but it's turned off during commercials. This would be a 100% reliable way of detecting commercials, but I have no clue whether the

this through a cron job every hour, although I'm finding that if I try to set the data_rate back to 3 while something is recording, it immediately freezes and stops recording. Any other tricks or ideas to somehow keep this setting at 3? (or anything greater than zero) On 12/16/05, *David

Are you sure this isn't a drive-speed issue? Check hdparm -v /dev/device. Also, make sure you have at least a 7200 RPM drive. The dct-6200 will send out an mpeg stream. I think MythTV just copies it to disk. So, there's very little CPU or memory involved. You can try running test-mpeg2

I had this problem. I use a wireless router as my dhcp server, which does not specify hostname. So, FC4 defaulted to localhost.localdomain. This is the key used to find the setup in the database. My problem was my backend and frontend used the same fake hostname, thus the same setup. If

Hi, I'm running Myth on a HD-capable television with an Nvidia 6200 running 1080i. Movies, TV recordings, etc, look great. Sometimes the theme doesn't look perfect. Pretty much any straight, exactly horizontal line flickers really badly. Right now, I'm using visor, which looks good and

MythPhone is based on SIP, which is a standard for VoIP. It appears to use the G711 codec for audio, which is totally standard and should be supported by pretty much every SIP compatible voip phone out there. I *think* the video codec is H263, which is also pretty standard. There's a Java

I'm looking at a similar card. I have a couple friends who work for Nvidia, one who makes chips (and, no, this doesn't get me any discounts on cards:( ). He says that the 6200 series does HDTV very well, and are well supported on Linux. There are a couple caveats: Make sure your mainboard
