Installation issues / Device Template IR Codes
« on: May 23, 2008, 03:49:40 am »
I am not sure if this is the right place to put this but on 710 RC2 amd64 DVD install I have experienced a problem with adding my TV as a device template and putting all the IR codes in for said TV.
When I first set up the Device Template and I go to edit the IR codes, it has the buttons along the side such as Test Code, Delete Code etc. So I added some discrete codes for on/off manually, a pop up box comes up and gives you the option to Learn it or enter it manually. After a trying time to figure these codes out I have them all written down so I entered them manually and tested it. Yay they all worked. So i saved the template closed it and then when I came back to enter some more codes I opened the Template up went to Edit Audio/Video Properties but in this window where the Test Code button used to be, it is missing! Also when I click on New Code instead of a popup box with the option to Learn or enter manually I get a pop up box that says Infrared Code Learned! With an OK button and that's it.

Some people have said it was a problem with the amd64 version so I am downloading the i386 one.
If anyone else has seen this or knows a solution please let me know.

Cheers
Slampt.

*edit I am using the Microsoft MCE Remote/IR stuff

I have my installation working,

I would like to thank ddamron and hari for all their help.
I am currently getting my head around ruby because I want write in a poller so that if you flick the switch manually linuxmce will know about it.  The only way around this would be to do what hari does and use scene controllers which will cost a little bit more.

That said I will let every one know how I go. I hope insteon releases some AU kit *grin*

Darren,

My stuff should arrive today, NFI why it took so long it should have left HK on the 3rd, but didn't hit WA until the 10th....

Anyway when it arrives I will install a couple of switches and have a play.

Darren,

My stuff hasn't arrived yet, tracking says it has left HK but that's it, Kevin at x10-hk.com is chasing them up for me as it should have arrived by now.

Hey Darren,

They didn't have prices on the site when I looked so I went with hk-x10, though I am sure he would be able to do similar pricing.
I am in Western Australia.

Installation issues / Mplayer Crashes 0710 beta3
« on: February 27, 2008, 02:34:55 pm »
Hey Guys,

I have finally got my MD working and I tried to play a HD video file (1080p) originally it started playing using xine, and it wasn't all that great so I went into the attributes and specified HD 1080.  Now it doesn't play at all.  However it is attempting to use mplayer and this is the log I get.

Hey Colin,

Cheers for the reply, I think I am gonna have to stick with the just scan, as I can't seem to get it to work any other way, though I am still having problems with 50Hz....

Also (this is OT) have you managed to control your samsung from the rs232 interface?

Cheers

Ok just an update,

1920x1080@50 - comes up as unsupported by my LCD (samsung LA40M81)
1920x1080@60 - does the same thing as the default modeline (Modeline        "1920x1080" 138.5 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1082 1087 1111)
Looking at it more closely I think it is only the bottom of the menu that is cut off.

Ok, setting my LCD to "just scan" and not specifically "16:9" appears to have helped. *fingers crossed*
Thanks Colin, for all your help :P

Hey Guys,

Hope you don't mind me doing this, Kevin Lo @ x10-hk.com asked me to post this as he is having problems posting to this forum.
user: Kevin Lo

<SNIP>
Hi All , this is my first post.
I am the owner of Automation@Home ( http://www.x10-hk.com )

I just co-operate with one of the Homeseer 3rd party developer to
develop the PLCBUS plug-in for Homeseer on Nov 2007.
Now I am seeking another HA software for support PLCBUS. And I see some
post on this Linux HA software. But some reply is not 100% correct.

PLCBUS-4808 X10/PLCBUS Transfer Interface , that will act as a 'bridge'
between X10 and PLCBUS.
Two main function :
1) Convert PLCBUS Signal into X10 Signal
2) Convert X10 Signal into PLCBUS Signal
But it will lost the two way communication function e.g. Status Request
, Signal Level Request ....etc
This will only work for One Phase ONLY. If you have three phase power
system and you may be need to add three unit into three different phase.

PLCBUS-T4023UK PLCBUS Encrypted RF Transceiver , it only work with
Encrypted RF remote controller. ( That mean only support S10 China ) and
it will not work for other encrypted RF remote , like security sensor.
In my point of view , there is lack of encrypted remote controller . Now
it only have three
1) X10-4060 Mini Key RF Controller
2) X10-4073 Touch Screen RF Controller
3) X10-1141 RF RS232 Computer Interface <---- Don't use this one for
control PLCBUS , since PLCBUS-1141 is more powerful than this. This only
support Six command , ON\OFF\BRIGHT\DIM\ALL ON\ALL OFF

Some news on PLCBUS
a) In coming few weeks. It will come out PLCBUS-T4022UK , PLCBUS RF
Transceiver. This is 433.92MHz and work with ALL X10 RF devices. e.g.
Easy Touch 35 , MS13E2 Montion Sensor ......etc etc The 1st engineer
sample will arrive on my hand in next few days for testing.

b) In coming few weeks. It will come out a IR Controller that work with
IR Eye. ( IR Emitter
http://www.marmitek.com/en/catalogus/product.php?subgroep=3&product=305
) That is the improve version of PLCBUS-3011.
Since for PLCBUS-3011 , you MUST place the IR Controller at the opposite
side of your IR Device. Example if you want to control your TV by PLCBUS
command. You MUST install this 3011 on the opposite side of TV for send
out the IR signal.
But for this new device ( I don't know what is the model number yet ) it
can plug the IR Eye and just stick the IR emitter on the TV's IR windows
and hide this device in the cabinet. The 1st engineer sample will arrive
on my hand in next few days for testing.

I am not a professional programmer , I just write a VB6 program for fun
to work with PLCBUS-1141.
http://x10-hk.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=22_26&products_id=171

Since some command or syntax is un-documented on the hardware protocol
PDF.
If you have any question on the PLCBUS protocol , please let me know.
May be I can explain to all of you.

Thanks

Installation issues / [SOLVED] 0710beta3 Nvidia Green line
« on: February 09, 2008, 02:52:20 am »
Hi Guys,

I have just installed Linuxmce 0710 Beta3 on my AMD64 system.  My MD has a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS and when the res is set to 1080p I get a Green Line on the left side of the screen.  It is even more noticeable when playing movies etc.

Any idea why this is?
Thanks
