Try ripping a dvd or cd




HTH


Tim

I tried that as well, but it started to rip, and with a couple of seconds, it said that the rip was complete.  When I went to the "Video" section I did not find the ripped media.

Thanks Tim,

Ernesto

Hmmm... try a full regen.

Andrew

Tried regenerating a couple of times, but with no success. When I try to play a DVD, I can hear the changer loading and spinning the DVD as if it about display something. I don't think its the changer, only because it's brand new out the box. Once my Thanksgiving turkey coma subsides I'm going to take my diskless MD and slap a hard drive in it, and run LMCE 7.10 as a test. If it works, I'll know it's something that is missing from the beta, and not the hardware.

Thanks Andrew,

Ernesto

Hello All,

I'm currently running 8.10B, and am testing the new DVD jukebox I just purchased. I' running into a problem when I try to play a disk from the changer, I keep getting the following error on the orbiter screen:

I cannot play this media. Perhaps there is not a valid device in this entertainment area capable of playing it. Drive is not available

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks,

Ernesto

Depending on what it's written, I may be able to take a shot at it as well.

Thom - If you can point us in the right direction, I'd like to try to get this going.

Hello All,

I've searched through the LinuxMCE forum for information on this matter, but most of the info I came across is not very recent, and does not provide a clear answer.

Does or will LinuxMCE 8.10 provide support for channel tuning via Firewire on the DCT-6412 using MythTV? If so, is there any LinuxMCE specific instructions to get it working, or should I go by the directions on the MythTV site?  

Thanks in advance,

Ernesto

Thanks for the discovery mhorst.

This appears to still be a problem. I just set up my MD and could not get Myth to work.  I followed the steps provided by mhorst, and I'm up and running.

Thanks,

Ernesto

CaddyWhompus,

How are you performing your 8.10B install? Are you using the DVD install, or the Internet Installation process documented in the following link? I would give that internet install a try and see if that helps at all.

Ok. I'll probably have to touch base on this after the holiday's, as the pockets will be a little light from here until the new year. Thanks for the information.

Ernesto

No problem. Glad to hear it worked. 

Thom,

Would you need one in order to get it to work with LMCE?

Hello All,

I came across the the following item at Best Buy the other day, and I thought it would make a nice replacement for the discontinued Sony VAIO VGP-XL1B3. It has an Ethernet and RS-232 ports, so I think it can be made to work, but I'll let the Devs speak to that. Just thought I'd let the community know just in case anyone was looking at media changer, like I've been.

Anxious,

The DVD install seems to be a bit buggy. I'd recommend doing the internet installation to see if you have a better experience. See link below.

phenigma,

That's good to know. Do you have to go through Advanced -> IR Codes to contorl your AV Equipment?

As you know there are some bugs with the 810 beta that are being worked on. With that said, IR can be a bit dodgy, but you should be able to get it to work in both 710 and 810. When I had IR working I had to do the following to shutoff my tv and/or turn down the volume. Go to --> Advanced -> IR Codes -> <Your Device> -> (tv on/off, etc).  

In terms of the IR learning codes, you may need to follow the directions below before attempting to learn the button codes. I'm sure this fix is already in 810, but it may not hurt to try.

Hope this helps

Awesome work Thom!
