Hi Andrew,
Could I buy just the Dianemo software or licence? I leave in Argentina, I'm using LMCE 0810 (M3NHT-Deluxe as core and 2 x ZotacHD-ID11 as MDs.

Thanks in advance,
Hernán

Bongowongo,
I get it work in 0810.
When it hangs I get this on my /var/log/pluto/118_PLCBUS.log

"05      05/23/11 23:14:59.976           Got a reload command from 0  <0xb5fffb90>
05      05/23/11 23:15:00.231           void ClientSocket::Disconnect() on this socket: 0x98ed050 (m_Socket: 7) <0xb71376c0>"

Just that....

Did you know how can I troubleshooting that?? or maybe find into another log the possible cause of this?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I get it work (I have a problem with my 220v plug that I made, that had invert polarity), but now its fixed, I can control the ligths with this two small issues.
1) some times I loose communication with the PC1141, I don't know why, but allways happens before some MD ask to me for a quick reload router. I must to reload the core in order to get it back as normal.
2) I use UI2 in all my MDs if I press F6 and I change the brightness the lamps makes it crazy and it to plays open and shade againg and again.
I using one 2264E to control some of my lamps and another 2268E to control some ligths that doesn't have dimming capabilities.

I didn't try to troubleshooting this with the devs because at this time I don't have the alarm pannel installed.

Hi Belanger,
It should work with PC5401 + Power864 (5020).
I connect my PC5401 to a Power585 but I can't make it work.

Hi bongowongo,
I have the same problem in 0810.

I have installed one PCLBUS 1141 an a 2268 micromodule, but the module couldn't register to LMCE and it's seams like LMCE can't communicate using USB to the 1141 interface.

Could you help to me troubleshooting this?

Thanks in advance,

Here is the /var/log/pluto/123_PLCBUS.log

Hi,
I solve my problem with my old webcam, adding a few comands before load the skype app.

run this as root:

#rename /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/2skype

 mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/2skype
 
#then
# make a new file called skype with this:

vi /usr/bin/skype

#Paste this inside
#--------------------------

#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so 2skype

#------------------------------
write and quit

Then u need to follow this wiki
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_new_computing_apps

I think that this enviroment setting could be added by lmce without need to rename files or doing this, but i didn't try it.

Thanks

Hi,
I get problems to setup a webcam on a diskless MediaDirector using motion wrapper.
The webcam is working ok (it saves the snapshots into the correct folder) but MotionWrapper can't write a /home/cameras/XXX/lastsnap.jpg (it should be a link) to the new snapshot.
When I try to use the camera selecting it (any method from UI or Web-UI) the MotionWrapper logs displays this:

 Missing snapshot file: /home/cameras/106/lastsnap.jpg.

That's is because the file is missing.

It's not a camera issue, the webcam was working at the core (hybrid) but is not working on the MD.
When I setting up this I followed the instructions of the wiki.
I add a template into MD tree using create a child device (for motionwrapper) and inside it I create a new generic web cam.Webcam is working but I can't visualize the video, because MD can't write a link /home/cameras/106/lastsnap.jpg.

Is this a know issue ?

Is there a way to use a webcam as security cam but connect it to an MD?? ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have the same issue. Did you get fix this?
Thanks
Hernán

I fix the HDMI audio output problem following this page... http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/video-audio-cards/42201-hdmi-audio-nvidia-gt220-mythbuntu-9-10-a.html

Now it rocks, I will go to get down the fan noice,....this is the next step.

Hernan

mmm...heat is the real problem. the case and fan aren't prepared to get out the heat of the box. This means, that fan needs to work a lot then "noice", a new Bios will work with the fan trying to control noice but it will increase some degrades the temp inside the box, (this should be supported by Zotac).
Ethernet drivers is not big deal, the box is not plug & play, but you can follow the procedure at wiki page to make an image with r8168.

I'm still trying to make alsa works using HDMI output....not working right now.

The pros: The performance playing videos or running mythtv is great.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,
I found a trick on VLC to get Synchronized VLC Streaming. I found it at http://hackedexistence.com/project-vlc.html.
The trick is to "add the IP Address of the server to the streaming client list, start the stream without playing it locally, launch a new instance of VLC, define the IP Address of the Server in the Network Sync Settings, then open the stream exactly as you would on a client." (Text copied from http://hackedexistence.com/project-vlc.html)

Also there is a Demo video on that page.

Thanks

Hi,
The Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11-U is working great !!!
Audio is conected via analog stereo, but I trying to configure the audio output via HDMI.
The graphics are great, even better that Geforce9400 from my hybrid.
The BIOS didn't control the cpu fan, then noice....there is a beta Bios upgrade that solve this but I will wait for next Bios release.
I will update this with more news.

Thanks
Bugui

I will receive a ZBOX HD-ID11 the next week.

Hello again,
I see at the Generic_Serial_Device.log that it can't startup the device.
Is this an error in the ruby code?
