Users / Re: Maintaining directory structure of an internal media NTFS drive

« on: February 26, 2008, 11:53:31 am »

Whel, I've tried to do what you guys suggested but the only thing I see listed are the two TV folders (don't remember the exact name ...)
All the media is there and accesible, but not when sorting by file name ...
Any ideas any one ?

Thnx

NP Jason.

I haven't found /etc/asound.state on my machine at all, I only have the one located under /var/lib/alsa/.

I'm using 0710B3

Users / DivX movies dont play AC3 Passthru

« on: February 24, 2008, 07:29:38 am »

I'm playing DVD movies in AC3/DTS Passthru with no problem what so ever. But for some reason DivX movies play only in analog stereo altough on Vista they play in AC3/DTS Passthru just fine.
Any idea what might be causing it and how to fix it ?

Thnx

Users / Maintaining directory structure of an internal media NTFS drive

« on: February 24, 2008, 07:25:20 am »

I have a 320gb SATA internal drive for all my media, which uses a NTFS file system.
LMCE finds it, and all my media is present and accesible.
The strange thing is that it seems like LMCE completely disregards my directory structure.
I have the movies, for instance, in folders named Action, Drama. Animation etc. but LMCE does'nt have this structure. It just throws everything I have on the screen.
How can I maintain this directory structure withing LMCE ?

Thnx

Hi Jason

I have a Gigabyte K8NF-9 Mobo which has the same Realtek ALC850 chipset.
I can verify your method works with 2 exeptions:

1. On my system the ASOUND.STATE file is located at: /var/lib/alsa/
2. Ac3/DTS passthru works great on DVD's but for some reason it does'nt work on AVI's (works prefectly under vista ...)

Thnx for the great work and could you possibly look into the AVI thing ?

Thnx

thnx guys
You might be right about the hardware problems possibility, I guess I'll try to rule that out and if it does'nt help, I'll try to ask a more focused question ...

Installation issues / Repeating 0710 post installtion problems

« on: February 18, 2008, 07:41:06 am »

Hi all.

I'll start off by saying I'm a total noob to LMCE and linux as a whole.
My core/highbrid setup is as follows
Gigabyte K8-NF9 Mobo with a Realtek ALC850 based onboard sound
AMD Athalon XP 3000+
1GB Ram
Gforce 6600GT
160GB Sata HDD for the LMCE
320GB Sata HDD filled with Media on an NTFS file system

I inserted the quick install DVD, ran thru the setup with no problems and installation finished with one the no sound on SPDIF problem.
Everything else seemed to be working and detected.
I tried verious solutions found on this and other boards and and evetually got the sound working for a couple of minutes, but then it stopped working again.
Not being able to fix it convinced me to reinstall, again, installation seemed to work flowlesly only this time I got an error while starting the services (when you get a green bar on a gray background after everything is finished...) it hanged around 91% and the said something about not being able to stat the phone system and gave me a black screen saying that "some services could not start but I can still use my system" and a white ok button.
As I was eager to figure out the sound issue, I decided to continue and worry about it later .
I finally found a driver on the Realtek site that fixed the sound issue but some stuff stopped working.
Can't launch firefox from within the orbiter, trying to start mythtv from within the orbiter does nothing the screen just goes black.
So I've decided to do a fresh install but the same scenario just repeated it self again.
One more thing, at some point it detects my ntfs hdd and installs it (I asked it to read only and keep the filesystem intact) but even tough I can see it I can't access it or catalog it in anyway. Trying to sync the media from the Admin website, I can't even see te drive, but from withing the orbiter, if I search a name of an audio file, it finds it and playes it ith no problem, but movies are non existant to the system.
BTW inserting and playing a dvd works including ac3/dts what ever sound format it is ...
I have a total of 5 installation under my belt now, all with exactly the same results. I tought it might be the dvd so I made a fresh one, still the same problems.
Can any body help me with this ?

Thnx
Itsik
