Users / Dianemo S - Control LG TV RS232
« on: July 16, 2012, 04:04:31 pm »
Hi Guys

I am wondering if anyone has a step-by-step guide to setting up RS232 control of LG tvs in Dianemo?

I have looked on the LMCE wiki and says it should be plug and play but it does not seem to be in Dianemo.

I have tried adding a LG device and also Generic Serial devices in the AV Devices category and set them to controlled by the LivingRoom MD and selected the com port.

This does not seem to work. However this could be linked to my other post where I suspect my media_config is not working.

Is there a way to test the serial control without using media_config?

I have the tv connected via a USB-RS232 and a Null-Modem gender changer.

Hi Andrew.

I have added the DPMS device to the MM in question and told the system to use that device as the VideoDev in /etc/pluto/media_config.conf.

I dont think the media config is working. The file did not exist on my system so I created it. I have also set the AudioDev to the AppServer device which it says in the media config section of your wiki will allow ALSA to control the audio but that is not working either.

This is my media_config.conf so far.


Room=2: AudioDev=127; VideoDev=127; KeepScreenOnForOSD=no
Room=7: AudioDev=26; VideoDev=128; KeepScreenOnForOSD=no

What is further strange is it only appears to be the Video settings it is losing. The audio is still outputting DTS through the optical fine.

Hi Guys

I have just setup a new MM which is connected to a LCD monitor via VGA.

Everything seems to work ok. The only issue is when I select power -> Monitor OFF it does not cut the feed to the monitor it just switches to full screen screensaver.

I was expecting it to stop sending a signal down the VGA which would cause the monitor to goto sleep!

Hi guys

Ok with further testing this seems to only be an issue when I reboot the whole system.

If I reboot an MM it keeps the setting and everything is fine.

However if I reboot the core, and therefore all MM's then the settings are lost on each MM.

This is a real pain in the arse and is causing me lots of grief.

Users / Dianemo S - Media from Raid 5 Array not on MM's
« on: July 14, 2012, 01:06:27 am »
I am having a weird issue.

I have  Raid5 Array which is setup and working on my core. The media from it is availabel fine from my core and the first media director im using.

However I have just setup 2 new MM's and when I try and play and video which is stored on the Raid5 Array I get an error saying it cannot find the file.

From the file path it looks like it is trying to access it from a path relative to the core rather than from a nfs share on the MM.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Well as linuxmce is based on linux there is not reason that plone should not install on top of linuxmce.

I would suggest installing plone and configuring it to run on a different port say 8080 and just making the virtual server pointer on your souter point port 80 comming from external to port 8080 on your linuxmce machine's external lan ip.

That way you can access linuxmce from within the local network fine. and people in the outside world will get your website.

Users / Dianemo S - No Audio on some MKV
« on: July 11, 2012, 12:45:32 pm »
Hi Guys

I am trying to play an MKV from my Video Camera however I get picture but no sound.

When I play on my laptop using VLC player it plays fine but once on my Dianemo system it plays the video fine but with no audio.

I can play some mkv from other sources fine.

From the VLC codec info page I can see that the audio stream is using TrueHD Audio I dont know if this is causing the problem?

Which video player is utilised for mkv playback? Where is the log file for same?

Also how would I tell the system to use a different player? Say VLC?

Users / Dianemo S - MythTV Not keeping Settings on MM

Hi Guys

I am experiencing an annoying issue.

I have Dianemo S Setup with Mythtv running fine on the core.

For some reason on my MM which is a ION based MD mythtv does not select VDPAU by default as Playback method.

I had to manually go into the settings on the Mythtv on the MM and select VDPAU

Now for some reason this does not survive a reboot. So I can watch TV fine until I reboot and then it goes back to the default playback method which does not work on HD channels on my MM.

If I rebooot with a HD channel selected once MM comes back up when I select watch Live TV it causes myth frontend to crash as it cannot decode without VDPAU.

Can anoyone give any ideas of how to make this setting survive reboot?

Hi Avner

The config on the looks fine.

The ip the iPod is getting looks like it might be one it generates itself if it cannot abtain an ip address.

What happens if you connect a laptop by cable to one of the other lan ports on the linksys?

Just to check you are connecting the link from the lmce internal card to a lan port on the linksys and not the internet/wan port?

Regards

That sounds strange. Are you sure you have disabled the DHCP on the Wrt54G? If the ipod is getting a different ip address you must either still have dhcp enabled or have a link between your internal and external network.

Your network should be something like the following.


Internet Modem/Router <--->  LMCE Core <---> WRT54G <---> iPod
