Users / [RESOLVED] Media Files Sync - storage drives missing from tree
« on: February 25, 2018, 02:41:02 pm »
I did a fresh install on new hardware.    After the install, I shut down and added my storage drives from the previous server.
On reboot, going into Media Files Sync, I cannot access the drives... they don't show up in the tree... see the image.

Anyone else experience this and know how to resolve it?

The media IS showing up on the MD Media pages, but the metadata is incorrect... I cannot get to it to fix it.

Thanks,
Dennis

Users / Keep hulu.com Web page in forefront while watching a movie
« on: October 02, 2016, 11:04:26 pm »
After fighting with flash/drm/silverlight and hulu not liking firefox on linux, I finally managed to watch a movie on Hulu.com on my MD.  Only problem is that after several minutes, the main orbiter screen displays and I have to maneuver back to firefox.  Is there something I can do to fix this?   

I did try searching the forums, but I'm unable to search the right phrase to return something concerning this

Developers / Who can I help with the Mythtv 'install' package
« on: September 12, 2016, 02:12:01 am »
Hey guys,
I am not a programmer, but I am a problem solver.   The recent update messed up my 'tweak' on the mythtv files on my MD...   I can fix them in a few minutes, but I want to provide some feedback/input into getting it set to work correctly.

here is what I have figured out:
On the CORE, everything works great..   the /etc/mythtv/config.xml file and the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt work great.
On the MD:  there are several things Ive noticed:
     1.    the user mythtv needs to have the same uid and gid as the CORE's mythtv user (because the home folder is a nfs mount from the core)
     2.    Each MD gets a unique <Password> in the /etc/mythtv/config.xml (by default on mythtv install i am assuming)  This <Password> can stay
            what it is, but also needs to be the same as the DBPassword in the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file,   AND it needs to be the same password for
            the mysql user mythtv@192.168.1.xx (MD iP address).
     3.    On any MD, the <Host> in /etc/mythtv/config.xml  and DBHostname in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt NEEDS to be dcerouter

Note:  if the default password in /etc/mythtv/config.xml is used, it wont need to be changed in Mythtv Setup.


I can provide my files if anyone wants/needs to see them.


Hope this helps.

I did a fresh 12.04 install on a new SSD drive.  Once installed, I ran Diskless_CreateTBZ.  It failed with the following:

what I see as the possible problem is the version info not being met.  Im no pro, but it looks like the date/time section is missing the '20' in front of the 16.


anyone got any resolutions?

Users / To 'bridge' or not to 'bridge'
« on: January 21, 2016, 05:28:59 pm »
In lmce 1204 and 1404, bridging appears to have changed within the linux kernel.   In 1004 i had bridged eth1 (internal NIC) with wlan0 (AP) following  the instructions here:http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Access_Point
After changing 'eth1' in the firewall to 'br0' (the bridge interface), verything worked without a hitch.

In 1204 and 1404, when the bridge is set up the same, the MDs cannot access the nfs storage drives, but my wifi devices work fine. 

Is there a better route to take other than bridging?     Is there something else I need to do to the firewall?   

Some internet sources suggest installing ebtables and set up some rules there and add other rules to iptables.   I dont quite grasp firewalls  and am stuck.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Installation issues / [Resolved] 12.04 - firewall issues?
« on: July 27, 2014, 11:19:59 pm »
I installed 12.04 from the July 19th image 29194.

after install completed  (hybrid core), the MD came up fine.   In Firefox, I can navigate pages.  Apt update/install works as well.  When 'pinging' from core (ping ubuntu.org), the name gets resolved to an IP, but ping times out.  Cannot ping localhost or dcerouter either. Pinging IPs fails too.

Additionally, a workstation getting an IP from the core (Non-MD) cannot ping anything.

I installed ufw... and ran the command 'ufw enable' followed by 'ufw reset'.   Ping started working.   However on reboot of the core, everything reverts back to LMCE default Firewall settings.

Is there a workaround?  I didnt see any posts in the forums by others with same issue.

Gentlemen (and Ladies)

I wasnt able to find anything on this by search thru the wiki.

This is a 10.04 installation.

I added a 4tb drive and it was recognized and set up as a lmce storage drive.

For some reason in web admin, on the Media Files Sync page, the drive doesn't show up.  See attached picture.

Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Developers / New Device Template (Samsung PN-51E 5-Series)
« on: January 21, 2013, 02:28:14 pm »
Developers,
Thom (tschak909) requested that I submit a template for the Samsung PN-51E.  Since I uploaded some other templates with the DeviceTempate2php script, I thought I'd to the same with this template here.

The export file doesnt look right to me, but if someone could verify it imported correctly I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Users / hulu player non-functional on MD [workaround]
« on: March 31, 2012, 03:11:14 am »
Recent install of LMCE-1004-201203211118.iso  and then an update today.   Then created MD, however trying to launch Hulu Player results in this in dmesg:

[ 1024.248009] huludesktop[9590]: segfault at 4d0 ip 005f6a0a sp bfcdad30 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[5e2000+119000]

and this is the only item in pluto.log:
1       03/30/12 19:47:23       67 (spawning-device)    Found ./Hulu_Player

NOTE:  all logs are from the MD (there is no information for Hulu in the same logs on the core).

Anyone else having same issue or have any suggestions?

Users / Help on Events
« on: November 15, 2011, 03:43:59 am »
Hi,
    Im trying to set up an event based on a 'listen' mode from my receiver.   I'm able to status when the receiver is playing rear surround audio, and I want to be able to turn on my external rear channel amplifier.

In the template for my receiver (Kenwood VR-5700), I am filtering data received from the receiver.     I have a template for a USB Relay device that has two commands "ON" and "OFF". 

How do I tell the Kenwood receiver to trip an event that will turn on the relay when 6.1/7.1 surround is available, and turn it off when only 5.1 surround?

The documentation for creating an event is a bit limited and Im unable to grasp what I need to do.


Thanks,
Dennis

Users / Gray screen on playback of VC-1 video codec
« on: October 16, 2011, 06:55:22 pm »
Hi gang,
    I 'obtained' a media file (mkv) that has video codec of 'Microsoft VC1'.   The audio plays but the video screen is solid gray.   I can play this file on Kubuntu 11.10 just fine.  I am running LMCE 1004, latest build.

On the MD, the Hardware Acceleration is set to 'auto' ... tried at 'vdpau' also, but didnt change anything.

Here is a snippet from the Xine log file on the MD:

Users / latest 1004 update breaks web admin
« on: September 10, 2011, 04:27:24 pm »
Howdy,
   running apt-get upgrade to latest packages '11090924603' breaks the admin web interface.   Login screen appears but after login, the resulting screen is blank...   remote access to admin web interface yields same result.

I also noticed that on my MD, the Gyration remote is back to only a few buttons working.. easily fixable though.   And my Generic Serial Device for my receiver isnt working... but I cant get into web admin to see whats up.

Hopefully one of the gurus can figure out whats afoot!.

<UPDATE>
I re-installed the previous versions of the update, but no affect on web admin.   Re-installation of the latest made no changes either.

Users / lmce 1004 and MythTV
« on: June 16, 2011, 02:46:15 am »
Hi guys...
Yes I know 1004 is pre-beta...   Ive been tinkering with it for a couple months now.   

I was having trouble watching any video ... turned out to be something with my nVidia 9800GT board... maybe a driver issue... but put in a 7000 series board for now DVD video is working.

I cannot get Mythtv to work..  it loads, but cannot display live tv.   My setup is as follows:
1.   Running a Hybrid CORE (only for CORE purposes)
2.   MD is M4A77TD mobo, nVidia 7000 series display adapter, HDPVR capture device.

I can  cat /dev/video0 > test.ts and the HDPVR captures video to the file.

Mythtv app launches, but cannot activate the HDPVR to stream the video...   

What logs should I be looking at?   and what might I be looking for?  to figure this issue out?

Thanks,
Dennis (the menace)

Users / Bluray Ripping
« on: May 01, 2011, 09:09:08 pm »
Gentlemen (and/or Ladies) ;D

I got myself a BD-ROM (its a samsung) that I got RPC-1 firmware from RPC1.org (I am assuming it is RPC-1 firmware).   When I install a bluray disk, the 'do you wish to rip' message appears and I acknowledge with yes.   Immediately the rip fails (even a regular DVD will fail after about 15 to 20 percent).   

There is little information on LMCE Bluray ripping... is there any extra software I need to load?   if so, what?

I am not even sure where disc ripping is logged to..  the disk device (51)  is here
