Installation issues / Re: DVD starts up, intro screen plays, but then just does not play any further

« on: January 28, 2008, 04:49:19 am »

Does anyone know if 20X drives have a problem.  I just tried copying an OLD version of waterworld from another DVD drive and it took approximately 45 minutes, but it copied.  When I switched the cables to the 20 x drive, I get the message about dvdcss.

Hmmmmmm

Hi TKMedia, I do have the software installed.  When I reloaded my MD cause everything else just did not seem to work.  It recognizes my dvd and begins to play it, but then, just before it gets to the Menu, I get the error about not finding Libdvdcss.

HELP - this really sucks

UPDATE:

So now my problem has progressed into an issue where I am not able to play or copy any DVD.  I have loaded 200 DVD's to this point onto my NAS and over time I began receiving Disk is not readable and the LibDVDCSS blue popup in the upper left corner of the screen. 

I've purchased a new DVD drive SATA to no affect.  Additionally, when I added the new DVD to my core (where all my problems started) BOOM, my MD will no longer load and I've had to delete it and start over.

OK - I'm STUCK - my MD is almost done reloaded and setup.  I'll try and load a DVD from there.

When I've navigated to the ADD SOFTWARE screen, I see that the Libdvdcss is installed and has a check mark.  W32codecs has a check mark and hour glass.  My Libdvdcss used to have this next to it also as I think back.  So I'm not sure what to do, where to go or how to get this fixed.

Any help is appreciated

Installation issues / Re: Netgear EVA8000 - has anyone played around with this

« on: January 27, 2008, 09:50:14 am »

Thanks for the quick reply.  So it really looks like the only option for a slim or small form factor system is really the Fiire stations.  Are there any other manufacturers getting into this market ?

I've built an ITX system and it works ok, but not stylish or fit with all the other stereo components asthetically.  I'm looking for a low cost MD that I can either manufacture or buy that does not take up much space and fits in with my other components.

Installation issues / Netgear EVA8000 - has anyone played around with this

« on: January 27, 2008, 07:04:11 am »

I saw this product at a computer store and immediately saw a solution that would be a great MD if only it would be able to do a PXE boot.  However, after reading further, I learned that this device will read content from M$, MAC and Linux (or so they say).  I was wondering if anyone on the boards have had a chance to llook at one of these and what do they think:

I was not able to find a log file for Xine_player in the log section.  Could it be in another location ?

Thanks for all of the replies.

Hello Gang,

I've got a new problem that I'm dealing with.  I've got about 3 dvds that for whatever reason don't want to play.  The splash screen for the movie intro, but then the movie just stops.  No message or nothing, just stops.

Has anyone ever been through this or know of a work around ?

Installation issues / Flickr and speed of movement

« on: January 11, 2008, 05:35:01 am »

Hi guys,

I've got a couple of questions for you all.

1.  Is there a way to change the speed that the images cycle in the screenshow ?

2.  I've tried to copy my files over from my connected usb and have logged into the core with the password I created when I setup the system.  However, using Konqueror when I try to create a new folder under flickr/year/day (example I want to create day 14) I get an unauthorized SMB error Access Denied.

Does anyone know what I need to do to create shares on the core ?

Installation issues / Re: Where should the PVR be installed

« on: January 06, 2008, 07:21:43 am »

Thanks - I was more concerned about performance and whether or not it would make much of a difference if all of my PVR's were on the core or MD.  Now that I've got my network settings set and proper, it works like a charm.

Installation issues / [SOLVED] - Re: MD will not boot - rpc failed: 2

« on: January 06, 2008, 07:20:15 am »

I did not figure out until I had deleted my MD and created a new one.  Something on the screen failed that indicated the MD could not get to my router 192.168 0 1.  I immediately switched the cables around on my core and BINGO, the MD reconfigured and is running much more fast than before.

STRANGE - it has been running great for the past three days and I have not changed anything other than setting up a PVR 150 and a USB Remote.

Thanks for the response.

If I load the Core with the PVR's I should be able to watch TV on any system ?

Installation issues / MD will not boot - rpc failed: 2

« on: January 06, 2008, 05:33:24 am »

I've had this system running pretty smooth it appeared until I decided to reboot the MD.  Now it will not boot up and load.  rpc failed over and over.

Looking in the log, I see that there is:

dhcpack
dhcprequest
dhcpoffer

over and over, but it will not boot.

« on: January 06, 2008, 04:21:56 am »

Hi,

Thanks to all of the help on this forum I've been able to get to my next step. 

Should the PVR 150 card be installed and configured on the Core

OR

Should each MD have a card ?

Thanks in advance
