Users / control TV with XP MCE Remote

« on: November 05, 2008, 12:47:46 am »

Is there any way to control the power to the tv using the Windows XP MCE remote and receiver through the ir blaster.  I have the TV set up in LMCE.  If I go to Advance Options then Infrared Codes The ir blaster will send the codes and turn on/off the tv.  Is any way to make the remote do that?

one card = one feed.  if you need 4 simultaneous feeds then you will need 4 cards or 2 dual tuner cards.  I have 2 pvr 500's in my core.  with 3 MD's receiving live simultaneous streams and it handles it fine.

Try to set the aspect ratio under your recording profiles. That might fix it.

I managed to get both drives detected.  I ended up repartitioning both drives.  Kubuntu showed the filesystem as ext2.  I know I created them both as ext3.  So I emptied both drives and filled them up again. Is there any difference between the way they get detected in Beta4 because that worked fine.

gazzzman, did you ever figure out what was wrong? I am having the same problem as you.  Everything seems like it went fine but it asks me what type of phone it is

Users / pvr 500

I have 2 pvr-500s installed in my hybrid.  I have 1 md. I am able to watch live tv on either the md or the hybrid.  but not on both.  it will only use tuner 1 of the first card.  mythtv detects all 4 tuners.  if i press change input it just stays on input 1.  any ideas whats wrong.

yes this was a second internal drive actually 2 different ones.  I told linuxmce to use it, but I couldn't add anything to it because the owner was root.

How do I change permissions on an entire hard drive so I can copy media to it.  right now the owner is root.  How would I give write access to user linuxmce

I am in the planning stage of setting Linuxmce up.  I need some info on networking.  Right now, I am using wireless.  But in the coming weeks I will be running wires through out the house.  I plan on having the core setup in the basement, with 4+ MD through out the house.  I still need the wireless for the laptops.  I think I will need 2 nics in the core? The MD won't need internet access. 


Here is how I was gonna wire everything up. 

                                               cable modem
                                                      |
                  Regular computers <--  wrt54gs --> wireless to Laptops
                                                   |       |
                                                Pap2     |
                                                           |
                                                        core
                                                          |
                                    MD1 --> switch or hub <-- MD 2                                                   
                                                 |       |     |
                                              MD3    MD4  MD5
I want LinuxMCE to have its own network.  Should I use a switch or will a hub work fine.  Will this work ok
Thank you to all that helps.
