I have a Rev H1 and a Rev 3. The one i worked on is the Rev 1. Can't really remember how I did the template thingy. It should not be that difficult as I was able to do it ;-)

Did you include the remote control capabilities of the MediaMVP? If I remember correct, there is some remote control capability on port 2000 of the mvp

No, i haven't used that. But I'll have a look ;-)

I am now working on some other stuff, combining LCME with VT-d to a virtual machine, but if I have some time left will try to do the trick again. Still have to look at the sources to see if I can make it all automatical.

Colin,

don't know about any software issues, but I presume you have run fsck, memcheck etc to make sure its not coming out of the hardware.

You can easily change that range in the web-admin on the "Advanced | Network settings" page.

Cheers Zaerc,

using the template to make a new device already triggered the range to be lower. But i'll remind the tip!

i've looked at the code that generates the dhcpd.conf file. It does not seem to honor any options regarding specific bootfiles for clients. But that should be an easy change.

br, Hari

Hari,

thx for your comment, is that something I can fiddle around with myself? If so could you give me a hunch...

I have done quite  a bit with the mvp with LinuxMCE
1. Booting of the H3
2. Emulating squeezebox
3. control mvp from LinuxMCE as squeezebox


Questions for you.

1. What ui are you using?  looks like the std mvpmc?
2. What features are of mvpmc are you  using?



thanks

Tim

Tim,

up to now it only the myth part I use. I will hopefully be able to extend that to being able to play the iso's as well. I know Myth is capable, don't know how far it will stretch on the Media MVP

1. I am using the standard interface
2. None at the moment, except for LiveTV and viewing recordings. Putting in new recordings and showing the present ones works as well. Also guide information is no problem.

I like the MediaMVP concept as it is really low on power consumption, its small, even so small that you can fit it at the back of a TV set. There is a drawback: you won't get any HD out of the equipment, although Dolby Surround via optical/coax is possible after modification. Even a small 2 line display is possible or serial interfaces.

I really do not have a clue if it is possible to swing the bin file around to something that would be seen as a low performance MD, but the guys at mediamvp made this happen as well.

It is the solution where you do not need the full blown MD solution, but need access to audio/video. Perfect for guestrooms maybe even childrens rooms ;-). Beside that you can get hold of them 2nd hand for around 50 euro's in Holland.

Added a template for the MediaMVP. Then added a new root device with the Ip address and mac and it was nicely added to the dhcp3.conf  . The only thing I now miss is the line: filename "/tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc-20080110"; to be added into dhcp3.conf. Is this one of the options in the device template?

Already found under advanced. Will see if I can take it from here.

That would be fun. Can you give me some hunts on how to get started to make a new device template

I have been doing some stuff lately with the mediamvp from Hauppauge to get it running on LMCE. And it does, has only one drawback: everytime a new system (MD etc) is added to the system, the dhcp3.conf file is overwritten so you have to put in your configuration again manually. As my system only changes about once a week  it will stay a simple job.

This is what my dhcp3.conf (in /etc/dhcp3) looks like:

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
#option domain-name "fugue.com";
#option domain-name-servers toccata.fugue.com;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.80.1;
authoritative;

option routers 192.168.80.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

# lease IPs for 1 day, maximum 1 week
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;

allow booting;
allow bootp;

option space pxelinux;
option pxelinux.magic code 208 = string;
option pxelinux.configfile code 209 = text;
option pxelinux.pathprefix code 210 = text;
option pxelinux.reboottime code 211 = unsigned integer 32;

subnet 192.168.80.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   next-server 192.168.80.1;
   filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
   option pxelinux.reboottime = 30;

   default-lease-time 86400;
   max-lease-time 604800;
   pool {
       allow unknown-clients;
       range 192.168.80.129 192.168.80.240;
   }
}

# PXE booting machines
group {
   next-server 192.168.80.1;
   filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
   option pxelinux.reboottime = 30;

   # Keuken MD (102)
   host moon102 { hardware ethernet 00:11:2F:E3:2A:0A; fixed-address 192.168.80.2; }
   # Woonkamer MD (222)
   host moon222 { hardware ethernet 00:18:F3:75:26:C2; fixed-address 192.168.80.3; }
   # Generic PC as MD (250)
   host moon250 { hardware ethernet 00:15:60:58:D0:3C; fixed-address 192.168.80.4; }
   # MediaMVP
   host mvp {
           hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:00:97:41;
           fixed-address 192.168.80.254;
           filename "/tftpboot/dongle.bin.mvpmc-20080110";}

}

# regular machines
group {
}



after this you have to add the files for the MVP to the /tftpboot directory:

dongle.bin.mvpmc-20080110.config
dongle.bin.mvpmc-20080110

i have added the config file only as the bin file containing the image is too big (3.5 Mb). If anybody likes to receive just pm me and I'll send it by email.

After that you should be able to boot the mediamvp and enjoy watching your recordings and live tv.

When I am fully finished exploring the ins and outs i will put the info into the wiki.

Edit: this will only work for the H1 models, still working on the H3 (sticker at the back will show which model it is)

Users / Re: Send Command Turn On to MD

« on: December 10, 2008, 06:53:52 pm »

I have seen the behaviour as well. My web orbiter is standard using the core/hybrid. When I use this orbiter to switch room and then switch off the concerning MD, I sometimes get into the situation where the core switches off pffff

The on works brilliant btw

The power feature works just fine on the MDs that allow WOL- I can just go to "Power" after selecting which MD I want to control from an orbiter and hit the "Power ON MD" button.  I haven't figured out how to power off a MD from another MD- but it works great from any orbiter.  Trying to power off another MD causes the one I'm using to turn off.

change the room :-)

I think I have noticed that too, changing the room didn't work, I'm affraid it could be a bug.

Thx guys, at least I now have a work around and hope that in the near future I will be able to use the orbiter.
Hopefully :-) the next release will be there before X-mas. I'm getting low on the WAF scale

Well, that worked but I reckon its not the designed way to do it. Allthough I like the amount of info I get out of the Myth interface ;-)
I really can't be the only one suffering this.....

Anybody has got any other suggestions?
Is there a way to edit the script in myth that fills the LCME database to make it more descriptive when adding recordings of reoccuring shows

CSI Miami - Till death do us..   in stead of CSI Miami

Users / Mythweb - recorded programs shows deleted tv shows

« on: November 25, 2008, 08:51:06 pm »

When watching recordings I normally tend to delete the shows after watching (which is a bit of a pain  , because after the show you have to go back to 1) video 2) filter on tv shows 3) find which show out of the 45 CSI's I watched and then 4) delete.)

I noticed however that these shows still show in the mythweb page for recorded shows  . When selecting one i get: "1008_20081123001000.mpg does not exist in the recordings directory." which does not happen for the not deleted show.

Additional I cannot delete them using the Mythweb interface  . The only way to get rid of them is deleting the record out of the database by hand.

Either I am doing something wrong or the system is screwed. Searching on the forum did not reveal any answer so far, anybody got a clue  ?

thx

Han
