Users / Looking for a doorbell intercom solution

« on: November 09, 2008, 01:36:40 am »

I have read through all the ways in which you can use LMCE. The one most interesting was being able to have a guest ring a doorbell and LMCE letting you converse with them via your cell phone. I haven’t been able to find any solutions that would incorporate LMCE. Can anyone tell me what products are available to me so that I could set this up at home? Thanks

Users / Crappy video with PVR-150 & Crappier sound

« on: November 07, 2008, 07:50:51 pm »

I just bought the PVR-150. Video is coming through but its not very good or clear video. If I run the same cable into the TV it looks fine. Can anyone tell me if I missed some settings or what I might be able to do to get clearer video?

On another note sound seems to work ok while playing music but not so great when playing live TV. Any suggestions?

Installation issues / Whats the best hard drive config for the LMCE?

« on: November 03, 2008, 05:36:23 am »

I have three 500gb sata hard drives and a 40gb ide hard drive as well. Currently I have my lmce setup with the OS installed on the 40gb. I was wondering though. If I setup the os on one of the 500gb drives would that drive also store media automatically as well? Should I just leave it so that the OS is on the 40

Installation issues / Shoud I be able to ping my LMCE from outside my network?

« on: November 01, 2008, 12:58:38 am »

I know my LMCE is on and I know it has an internet connection. I am outside my home netowrk and I have my external IP address. I am not able to ping my external address. There are no other firewalls on my netowrk except the LMCE. Is there something that I need to do to allow ping requests? I am having issues with voip in as far as incoming calls. I just want to start troubleshooting my issue with trying to ping my lmce. Also can anyone tell me what ports I need to have open so that voip will work. Thanks

« on: October 30, 2008, 03:10:04 am »

I just want to make sure this is going to suit my needs. Cany someone please explain how the HDHomeRun Dual tuner is going to work with LMCE. How does it change the channels on my STB. I already know that USB UIRT is the answer or at least I think it is. I just need to know how this is all going to hook up before I spend $160 on this tuner. Thanks in advance for any advice.

« on: October 26, 2008, 11:36:15 pm »

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a tuner for my LMCE. I was looking and liking the pcHDTV HD5500. I have heard good things about the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500. I really like the dual tuner feature. Whats everyone else using and does anyone have any suggestions on what card will be around for awhile and also produce the best results in my LMCE. I would also like something thats not to difficult for a beginner to install. Thanks for any advice

Installation issues / Teliax didnt auto configure like it was supposed to.

« on: October 23, 2008, 06:27:23 am »

Supposedly when you setup LMCE Teliax is among the supported carriers that LMCE will setup automatically. Well mine doesn’t work. I signed on to the Teliax website and it confirms that my account is active. I ran a couple of commands and the output was:

dcerouter_93254:/home/linuxmce# asterisk -r
=========================================================================
Connected to Asterisk 1.4.10 currently running on dcerouter (pid = 8219)

Not sure if this helps or not. I could really use some help from anyone out there familiar with setting this up on a LMCE box. Your time would be greatly appreciated.

Also when I try to make a call I get “all circuits are busy” it also shows an error that reads: Call dropped. Reason: Facility not subscribed

Can anyone help me make sense of this?

Installation issues / How to share media from other computers?

« on: October 22, 2008, 11:12:24 am »

Ive finally got my LMCE setup and networked to all my other computers in the house. Its found them asked if I would like to use them. I indicated yes. It ran through the procedure to set them up and asked me to restart the router. which I did (and all the computers in the house for that matters) In the web admin it shows that they are attached however none of the media on any of my other computer is available on my LMCE. Did I miss a step or is my media supposed to be in a particular folder? FYI, before I ever started with LMCE I networked my linux box with my windows box using samba so i dont know if that is going to affect anything.

Installation issues / LinuxMCE network configuration?

« on: October 22, 2008, 08:00:43 am »

I currently have my first nic on my LMCE box plugged directly into my DSL modem as per the network instructions that I was reading on how to set this up. My first question is, isn't this an unsafe practice? I was under the impression that you should always have a router or some sort of firewall directly after the modem. .

My other question is, my second nic is plugged into the internet port on the back of my netgear router and the rest of the computers on my network are plugged into the ports 1 and 2. So my question is, is this correct or should the second nic on my LMCE be plugged into port 3?

Installation issues / Is Nvidia DualTV Dual Tuner card supported in LinuxMCE?

« on: October 21, 2008, 11:22:48 am »

I have already built a HTPC with the XP media center and I thought it was great.........until I saw the LinuxMCE OS in action. Anyhow I would like to use as many parts from my current HTPC as I can. I cant find any info though with regards to the Nvidia DualTV MCE card, which was all the rage when I bought it. I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a list of supported hardware? Secondly does anyone happen to know if my card is supported off the top of their heads? Thirdly while I am on the subject. How about the MSI K8N Neo4 Mother Board? Is that LinuxMCE compatible? Thanks in advance

Installation issues / Should I change the workgroup name on LinuxMCE?

« on: October 21, 2008, 10:09:24 am »

I'm kind of confused because I was under the impression that to share files across a network all computers needed to be on the same workgroup. The one is MCE is different from my home network. I also thought that MCE would auto configure itself to access my network and all my shared files on the other computers. So either way if I am supposed to change the workgroup name or not how do I then setup MCE to be able to access my network? Thanks in advance for any help.
