Re: [mythtv-users] [OT] Xbox Frontend/Xebian 1.1/Alsa

2005-08-08 Thread Petersen Curt
I found it a lot easier to burn a CD-RW that makes the xbox boot straight into Xebian (you can get it from the xebian distro). If I want to play games, I just take the CD out and it boots to my dashboard. On 8/7/05, CTD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Phill Edwards wrote: Yes you do have to select

I just used the 0.4.5-beta script to configure myth on Saturday and it worked fine for me. I did not bootstrap since I've had xebian installed for awhile. I learned the hard way yesterday that it's always better to use apt-get uninstall BEFORE you mess with your own compiled myth distribution.

I had a similar problem. Check to see if IVTV is giving you errors like DMA_IRQ_ERROR or something like that. Also, does it only occur while you're recording AND using the network? (I noticed that your IRQ is shared between your capture/network cards). Try moving your capture card to another

Hi all. I'm building a second frontend for my living room. So far I've kept the price down to $130 by using a lot of extra hardware I have lieing around my place from old builds. So I want to spend some money on a good universal remote to control the box. I've been searching for one that can

Try setting audio input 0. I seem to remember having that problem with my 500. But that was before I upgraded to 0.3.7a. Now everything works fine without my hack. I think input 0 is the tuner input and 1 is some weird undocumented line input to the encoder. Also, this might sound like a

Have you tried checking that ivtv is loading properly? Place the following line in your config: options ivtv ivtv_debug=2 If you already have options for ivtv declared, just add the ivtv_debug on the end Remove all of your ivtv-related modules (ivtv, tuner, tveeprom, etc.), or alternatively you

That processor should be fine. If you're using the hauppauge cards with built-in MPEG2 encoders, it will not be CPU intensive at all. I have a PVR-500 and each stream only consumes 1% of my 2GHz Athlon. My old frame-grabber card (using bttv) hogs almost 20% of CPU for the encoding though. I

I have the same card. You should be able to get rid of all of those options strings in your configuration. ivtv should be able to auto-detect most things. This is your big problem: ivtv: Error -19 reading Hauppauge eeprom. ivtv: Possible causes: the tveeprom module was not loaded, or ivtv:
