Users / Dianemo S: DVDs with multiple titles problem

« on: June 21, 2012, 10:12:54 pm »

Hi all,

I came across the following problem: I have a couple of DVDs with multiple movies on it. I ripped them to ISOs and copied them to the core. In Media File Sync I entered the different titles as media attributes, so it looks something like this:

Attributes:   
   Genre   Children   
   Title   The Polar Express
   Title   Disneys A Christmas Carol

Now when I go to my media browser it only shows me the last title in the list, in this case I only can find "A Christmas Carol" in my list of movies. It will not show "The Polar Express". How ever when I use the search function on "The Polar Express" it shows up as a title and also brings me to the correct ISO file.

Is there any way to let Media Browser show these multiple titles?

Kind regards,
Reint.

Installation issues / Issue with voicemail menu on diskless MDs

« on: December 31, 2009, 12:30:51 am »

Hi,

I have an issue with the voicemail menu on my diskless MDs (running 0810b2):

On my remote orbiters (web based and my N800) the voicemail menu shows up fine, but on my diskless MDs (running UI2 non alpa-blended) the voicemail menu is missing all the datafield entries. I can play them just fine, but the datafields are empty (no callerid, duration and date information)

Anyone experiencing the same? More so, anyone knows a solution?

Thx,
Bundie.

Installation issues / UI1 orbiters stopped working after regen

« on: October 21, 2009, 11:42:57 am »

Hi u guys!

I'm running 0810 for a while now, with hardly any trouble. But since the latest update my orbiters got regenerated and now my UI1 orbiters stopped working. My weborbiter and N800 0rbiter are showing black screens now and are not usable anymore. I waded through the /var/log/pluto/OrbiterGen.log and found a lot of errors. Most of em along the lines of:

Code: [Select]

Error reading graphic: /usr/pluto/orbiter/skins//Basic/../../scenarios/.png

I noticed the double slashes in the path after "skins". It's obvious the script will not find the required images! Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue?

Thanx in advance,
Reint.

Installation issues / 0810 alpha and voicemail on diskless MD's problem

« on: August 20, 2009, 09:44:37 pm »

Hi you guys,

I took the plunge and deleted my 0710 core and have a go at the 0810 alpha install. Couple of issues I came across:

1) At first my telecom system did not work. I could make outbound calls, but all incoming calls were rejected. After some skimming through the forums I came across this post:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8486.0

the "create_pluto_dailplan.pl" file is missing a semi-column. By editting this and running the script manually now my phone system works, yeah! (thanks patricez!). So if any of the devs is reading, this is an issue still laying around (sorry, just more work for u guys)

2) Thanx to Thom for the voicemail fixes in the orbiter screens. However I found out that it works great on my Core, but on my diskless MD's it doesn't work  When I click the voicemail I wanna hear it returns a "file not found" error: "cannot play /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/301/INBOX/msg0000.wav"

So how to fix this?

What i did:

- on the core edit "/etc/exports" and in the CommonDiskless section add:

Code: [Select]

/var/spool/asterisk     192.168.80.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)

- on the every MD in the house edit "/etc/fstab", and add:

Code: [Select]

192.168.80.1:/var/spool/asterisk /var/spool/asterisk nfs intr,udp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,retrans=10,timeo=50 1 1

- on the MDs create the "/var/spool/asterisk" dir by:

Code: [Select]

# mkdir /var/spool/asterisk

Reboot the system and off I went, now I can play my voicemails everywhere in the house.

OK devs, is this the way to fix this? And should this be implemented in the future alphas? Anyways a big thumbs up for all the work you guys did.

Greets,
Reint.

Installation issues / [Solved] Hardlocks on MD: ASUS T3-M2NC51PV (NVidia Geforce 6150)

« on: May 20, 2009, 11:21:45 am »

Hi,

Just for info, as it might benefit others with MD's running integrated NVidia cards.

I own 2 Asus T3 barebone pc's running as MD's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856110061. It runs an integrated NVidia GeForce 6150 video card.

I experienced a lot of hardlocks on these machines, as it turns out video related. Mostly when watching TV (mythtv) it could suddenly freeze, requiring a hard reboot. Most profoundly it freezed when watching LiveTV and using the LinuxMCE menu's, I use UI2 overlay.

Last week I upgraded the NVidia drivers on the MD's to 180.51 as per wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers#NVidia_Chipsets. Since then I have not encountered anymore hardlocks on my MD's.

Maybe this might help someone with similar problems...

Regards,
Reint.
