[mythtv-users] mythgame problems with catver.ini?

2005-10-27 Thread Pat Vaughan
I've just started working on getting mythgame working, and am having some success. If I don't use a catver.ini file the mythgame rom browser shows me the system genre and gamename (I took out year). If I use a populated catver.ini, I get system and genre, but I can't go past genre to select the

That did it! The stupid RPM had a DOS format catver.ini. I just ran dos2unix against it and it works like a charm. Thanks. On 10/27/05, Pat Vaughan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've just started working on getting mythgame working, and am having some success. If I don't use a catver.ini file

Re: [mythtv-users] Scan converter vs component out

2005-09-12 Thread Pat Vaughan
I've gone through everything I can find online, went to a higher-end RF modulator, and replaced all my cables with Monster cables, and the quality is still not as good as my Tivo. It's not really noticable when watching TV, but the text in Myth is very fuzzy. Have you been able to test

[mythtv-users] Scan converter vs component out

2005-09-11 Thread Pat Vaughan
I'm using an Asus FX5200 with component out right now, and I'm finding the output to be fuzzy. The onscreen guide is barely readable. Part of my problem is I have to use a RF modulator because none of my TVs have component input. I've gone through everything I can find online, went to a

2005-08-19 Thread Pat Vaughan
I do, mostly. I did a clean install from ATRPMs. Ripping CDs doesn't work so good. The frontend exits as soon as I select Import CD. But playback works exactly as expected, even the visualizations work. Transcoding doesn't work, and every thread just dries up. Ripping perfect DVDs works fine,

Whew! I thought I was alone! I don't know what the transcode command line that mtd runs is, but running transcode by hand against a perfect ripped file creates a perfectly usable MPEG file. I see this has been asked a few time before, but no answers, so I'll try again. Now that the transcode

[mythtv-users] [OT] Where to buy a PVR-250

2005-07-28 Thread Pat Vaughan
Where is a good source for a PVR-250 card (model 980). I've seen people mention that they're available for around $90, but I can't find them any less than about $130. Newegg and Amazon both carry them. Also, I'm not looking at the MCE cards, as I'll be needing the remote. Thanks.

[mythtv-users] Transcode still broken in FC4?

2005-07-26 Thread Pat Vaughan
I saw some time ago that transcode was fixed in the atrpm repository, and I have the latest rpms. I'm trying to make an excellent copy of a DVD, and have lots of free space. The DVD gets ripped, but during the transcoding the files just disappear. No file is written to the mythvideo directory,

I'm a noobie, but have you setup mythfilldatabase in cron? If so, maybe the cron job isn't working correctly. Try running mythfilldatabase from the command line and see if it populates the database. On my connection, it takes FOREVER to download the channel guide data. That it works after

I have the new RPMs, and the DVD rip menu works now, which didn't before. And, I can rip a perfect copy of a DVD, but when I try to transcode the file to excellent quality it doesn't create the file. The DVD is ripped to the drive, but somewhere in the transcode it deletes the file. I'm a

[mythtv-users] mythweather scheduling

I'm setting up my first myth box, and am struggling with a few issues. One is that I have a dial-up connection because there isn't any available broadband in my area. And, mythweather isn't real dial-up friendly. It pretty often fails to get updates and especially retrieve the radar images. Is

2005-07-21 Thread Pat Vaughan
I was more thinking of telling mythweather to cache the data for 4 hours, then retrieving it in the morning, when I look at it. If such a thing were possible, it could retrieve the data in the background, and wouldn't get it again unless someone went into it after mid-morning. And, if the
