Users / Problem with mounting of USB HDD drive
« on: March 09, 2009, 09:53:48 pm »
Hi,

I've added external USB HDD drive and specified to use it with LinuxMCE directory structure. It worked fine a few days but recently it started cause problems with mounting. As you might see it's mounted and unmounted at the same time:

Code: [Select]
Mar  9 22:45:11 dcerouter ntfs-3g[972]: Version 1.913
Mar  9 22:45:11 dcerouter ntfs-3g[972]: Mounted /dev/sdb1 (Read-Write, label "FreeAgent Drive", NTFS 3.1)
Mar  9 22:45:11 dcerouter ntfs-3g[972]: Cmdline options: rw
Mar  9 22:45:11 dcerouter ntfs-3g[972]: Mount options: noatime,rw,silent,allow_other,nonempty,fsname=/dev/sdb1,blkdev,blksize=4096
Mar  9 22:45:11 dcerouter ntfs-3g[972]: Unmounting /dev/sdb1 (FreeAgent Drive)

Any idea what it happens and who to fix that?

TIA

Installation issues / ATI Radeon HD3200 and LinuxMCE 0710/0810
« on: March 09, 2009, 03:01:02 pm »
Hi,

A few friends of mine have problems with ATI Radeon HD3200. Unfortunately they live far from me. That's why I cannot come to some of them and dig that problem. Maybe somebody can share his successful experience with that card if so - used driver, xorg.conf etc.

TIA

Users / Mute, Vol+, Vol- indication on the screen
« on: January 26, 2009, 11:38:47 am »
Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible to have Mute, Vol+, Vol- indication on TV/monitor during playback video? For example, VDR can show Mute, Vol+, Vol-. Maybe the same can be done with Xine/mplayer?

TIA

Hi,

Finally I assembled my new hybrid core. I installed the the latest nVidia drviers (180.22). The core is connected to TV via HDMI cable. The resolution is 1080p/60GHz on the alpha blended UI2.

I found that even screen saver shows photos with short time freezing which happens periodically. The same issue with playback video (standard or HD). The processor is loaded on 30% maximum. Also I didn't see any  peaks there.

Any suggestion how to improve GE 8300 performance?

TIA

Users / Does somebody get audio over HDMI?
« on: January 05, 2009, 11:47:39 am »
Hi,

I'm trying to configure my core/hybrid to pass sound over HDMI. Does somebody did it? I installed the latest ALSA and can see HDMI in the aplay -l but I have no idea how to use it.

Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

Users / [SOLVED] Blinking UI2 main menu (HDMI, 1080p)
« on: January 05, 2009, 11:12:02 am »
Hi,

Just connected my core/hybrid to the Sony KDL-40L4000 via HDMI and found that strange issue. The UI2 main menu with resolution 1080p (60Hz) and the latest nVidia (177.82) drivers is blinking forever. The subscreens such Advanced or Pending Tasks are displayed fine.

Any ideas why it happens?

TIA

Users / AIMB-221G2-00A1E: cool MoBo for core/hybrid
« on: November 26, 2008, 04:27:39 pm »
Hi,

Recently I found MoBo AIMB-221G2-00A1E. It's expensive a bit ($242) but looks really cool:
- HDMI (ATI Radeon HD3200)
- 2x Gb LAN
- 6x COM
- supports AM2/AM+
- miniATX

Don't think that I really need 6 COM ports. But on board video with HDMI and two gigabit LAN ports are very useful by the way.

Users / mATX motherboard with HDMI_SPDIF header
« on: November 05, 2008, 03:23:19 pm »
Hi,

I'm looking for a right motherboard for my new core/hybrid. It should be mATX and should have HDMI_SPDIF header to pass audio via HDMI cable. I found one. It's ASROCK ALIVENF7G-FULLHD R3.0. It has integrated GeForce 7050 with embedded HDMI Audio which supports HDMI signal through DVI-D port by using DVI to HDMI adapter.

Does somebody use that motherboard or maybe other one with HDMI_SPDIF header?

Any suggestions are very appreciated!

TIA

Developers / Template for Nokia's Orbiter with exit button

Hi,

I need a help with modification of Orbiter for Nokia Internet Tablets. Basically, it works fine. But when I built the Orbiter from the latest 0710 sources I found the problem with icons on floorplan. Let me first a clarify the Orbiter's logic (as I understand it). All icons on the floor plan have color pink (255, 102, 255). When the screen with floor plan is opened the Orbiter starts checking all pixels from the screen area to compare their colors with pink. If such pixel is found its color is replaced by proper color (red, yellow, black etc). There is a hack (which works fine with current version of the Orbiter) to fill icons by proper color. I just increase the maximum difference between RGB parts of pink and retrieved pixel to 10 (originally it's 3):
Code: [Select]
if ( abs(Source[0]-red)<max_diff && abs(Source[1]-green)<max_diff && abs(Source[2]-blue)<max_diff )
The problem with Nokia is that. It uses 16bit surface but on-screen Orbiter - 32bit. I solved a problem with comparison source color (pink, 32bit) with retrieved pixel color (16bit) by using  SDL_GetRGB function:
Code: [Select]
SDL_GetRGB((Uint32)Pixel, m_pScreenImage->format, &red, &green, &blue);But now I have to convert replacement color from 32bit to 16. I don't have a lot of SDL of C++ knowledge. So, any help will be very appreciated!

You can find the code in the Orbiter/SDL/OrbiterRenderer_SDL.cpp, method OrbiterRenderer_SDL::ReplaceColorInRectangle. Here is a my version of that method:
Code: [Select]
void OrbiterRenderer_SDL::ReplaceColorInRectangle(int x, int y, int width, int height, PlutoColor ColorToReplace, PlutoColor ReplacementCol
or, DesignObj_Orbiter *pObj/* = NULL*/)
{
    SDL_PixelFormat * PF = m_pScreenImage->format;
    Uint32 PlutoPixelDest, PlutoPixelSrc, Pixel;
        Uint8 red, green, blue;

#ifdef DEBUG
    LoggerWrapper::GetInstance()->Write(LV_STATUS, "ReplaceColor: ColorToReplace --> %u %u %u : ReplacementColor --> %u %u %u",
        ColorToReplace.R(), ColorToReplace.G(), ColorToReplace.B(),
        ReplacementColor.R(), ReplacementColor.G(), ReplacementColor.B());
#endif

    //PlutoPixelSrc = (ColorToReplace.R() << PF->Rshift) | (ColorToReplace.G() << PF->Gshift) | (ColorToReplace.B() << PF->Bshift); // | (C
olorToReplace.A() << PF->Ashift);
    PlutoPixelSrc = (ColorToReplace.R() << rshift) | (ColorToReplace.G() << gshift) | (ColorToReplace.B() << bshift); // | (ColorToReplace.
A() << PF->Ashift);

    unsigned char *Source = (unsigned char *) &PlutoPixelSrc;
    //PlutoPixelDest = ReplacementColor.R() << PF->Rshift | ReplacementColor.G() << PF->Gshift | ReplacementColor.B() << PF->Bshift;//  TOD
O -- this should work | ReplacementColor.A() << PF->Ashift;

// By some reason, SDL pixel format doesn't take into account byte order (for Nokia it's - little endian). As result pixel color is wrong after
// shift. I use values from the SDL_Helper/SDL_Defs.h
    PlutoPixelDest = (ReplacementColor.R() << rshift) | (ReplacementColor.G() << gshift) | (ReplacementColor.B() << bshift);//  TODO -- thi
s should work | ReplacementColor.A() << PF->Ashift;

    for (int j = 0; j < height; j++)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
        {
            // we may need locking on the surface
            Pixel = SDLGraphic::getpixel(m_pScreenImage, i + x, j + y);
            unsigned char *pPixel = (unsigned char *) &Pixel;
#ifndef MAEMO_NOKIA770
            const int max_diff = 3;
            if ( abs(Source[0]-pPixel[0])<max_diff && abs(Source[1]-pPixel[1])<max_diff && abs(Source[2]-pPixel[2])<max_diff && abs(Source[
3]-pPixel[3])<max_diff )
            {
                SDLGraphic::putpixel(m_pScreenImage,i + x, j + y, PlutoPixelDest);
            }
#else
                const int max_diff = 5;

            //SDLGraphic::get_RGB(m_pScreenImage, Pixel);

                        SDL_GetRGB((Uint32)Pixel, m_pScreenImage->format, &red, &green, &blue);

            LoggerWrapper::GetInstance()->Write(LV_STATUS, "Source=%u %u %u - Pixel=%u %u %u \n", Source[0], Source[1], Source[2], red, gre
en, blue);
                //if ( abs(Source[0]-pPixel[0])<max_diff && abs(Source[1]-pPixel[1])<max_diff && abs(Source[2]-pPixel[2])<max_diff )
                if ( abs(Source[0]-red)<max_diff && abs(Source[1]-green)<max_diff && abs(Source[2]-blue)<max_diff )
                {
                        SDLGraphic::putpixel(m_pScreenImage,i + x, j + y, PlutoPixelDest);
                LoggerWrapper::GetInstance()->Write(LV_STATUS, "Replace pixel: %u %u %u - 0x%x\n!",
                                                        Source[0], Source[1], Source[2], PlutoPixelDest);
                }
            else
            {
                LoggerWrapper::GetInstance()->Write(LV_STATUS, "Do not do anything!");
            }
#endif
        }
    }


    PlutoRectangle rect(x, y, width, height);
}

All pixel operation are implemented in the Orbiter/SDL/SDLGraphic.cpp

Users / Russian site LinuxMCE
« on: August 27, 2008, 10:56:16 am »
Hi all,

I'd like to introduce the Russian site of LinuxMCE - http://linuxmce.ru. As I see many Russian people would like to use LinuxMCE and get more info about it. This is not commercial site. Its goal is popularization  of LinuxCME in Russia. There are Russian forum and Russian wiki where can be found translations from main LinuxMCE wiki. Also I'm planing to put there Russian translation of LinuxMCE UI.

Feature requests & roadmap / Integration with iPhone using iViewer
« on: August 19, 2008, 08:48:32 am »
Hi,

I found a new application for iPhone - iViewer (http://tinyurl.com/5j4bwf) which allows to integrate it with IP-based smarthome systems (Crestron or AMX, for example). I'm just thinking maybe it'll be possible to use iViewer with LinuxMCE as well. I don't have iPhone or iPod Touch (but I'd like it ;)). So, somebody who owns it can investigate that.
