33  LinuxMCE / Users / md usb webcam setup? on: August 08, 2009, 07:06:16 pm
Setup:

AMD x2  32bit hybreed  (masterbedroom)
AMD 64bit md (livingroom)

I have a current wifi ip camera  Panasonic BB-HCM371A

auto detected and set up  pan/tilt function ok  but no zoom  ( working on this )
also have it on motion wrapper via CORE

I have a Logitech webcam that worked on the CORE using motion wrapper.

I moved it to the livingroom md

I got no prompt for new device when I did this...

My question is what is the next step as far as trouble shooting this issue  -or- someone has doc on this kind of setup/issue

34  LinuxMCE / Users / energy usage interface? on: August 07, 2009, 01:11:42 pm
Any know of any interfaces that are linux compat for RDC ( residential demand control )
or shedding/trimming power usage in a said structure to a preset limit...

Most of them just use a simple induction coil on both phases to monitor incoming usage -or- outgoing in the case of alt energy equiped homes.

Since Linuxmce already has the structure to shed loads eg: zwave insteon ect.

If not this might be a usefull/needed function in the future...

Im sure a gc-100 unit could be used in this function...

Or i might get a STAMP kit and make start playing with my own interface  lol

any info at all is cool

35  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: control a/v equipment via usb/ir + x10 commands ? on: August 01, 2009, 08:49:16 pm
I got a couple questions...

(1) Can the UIRT at a md control other md's via those md's UIRT...like in a house wide media command..?
      ( wanted to play a music playlist from all md's) 

(2) On the GC-100 is there a way to tie the gc-100 into a IR network to control md's from the gc unit?



I am so used to having a house hold ir network  hard to get away from the old ways  lol

Thanks guys,  I got a bit of reading in and both methods look like they would work.

The gc-100 method looks like something I will try when I get the funds for that setup.
As well if I move I will have a better area for a core only setup in the ultility room....
.....plz let me move  LOL


But...for now I will get a couple usb transceivers for my hybrid and Md's

As for the the home stereo system I might run a cheap old puter that will netboot
just to run that threw a usb transceiver..

Ill let you all know how it goes for me  Smiley

I am so ready for bluetooth / headset support  Smiley

ty for the input,  will read into it  Smiley
38  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: control a/v equipment via usb/ir + x10 commands ? on: June 15, 2009, 06:51:55 pm
some of the general home audio equipment might not have a md near it 

just wondering if I have to do it that way

40  LinuxMCE / Users / control a/v equipment via usb/ir + x10 commands ? on: June 15, 2009, 03:54:58 am
I base setup is

core//masterbed// 2.1ghz amd x2 2gb 160sata 32" sharp 720p
md//livingroom// 2ghz amd 64 1gb (diskless)
orbit//livingroom// old desktop on xp

looking at a ipaq wifi hx2400 for a master control for house..
.....at least for masterbed for the future

I wanted to setup for 5.1 sound (RCA) in masterbed
&
5.1 sound (RCA) livingroom

I wanted to control the A/V equipment via  IR  threw X10 knowing that some of
the equipment will have simular codes i do not want to relay commands to
one reciever or tv and in turn affecting a reciever/tv that i do not to control at the time.

I was thinking of (2) usb/IR transcievers one for the core and md or md's (for controling that rooms equipment as well as otherrooms

Something that would translate IR to X10 commands  (mini controller x10 maby -or Powermids)

(my thought on the later is if I get a home audio stereo like a Sony STG-197 i could control threw x10)
>Power toggle
>volume
>input (prob a input feed from a MD or the core)
>am/fm
>a/b zone

If any have tried and failed or had success in what I hope to try to do make a post

Thank you

Even for the price after a decent nvidia GPU  the cost is low
42  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: Dell GX270 as media director? on: May 24, 2009, 02:02:47 pm
as well as the other GX models  GX260 ect

43  LinuxMCE / Users / Dell GX270 as media director? on: May 24, 2009, 01:56:55 pm
  It seems that this might work as a a ok media director
when a good agp nvidia card is installed.  They are slim,
gig of ram, dvd, onboard nic and dark in color
( like most a/v equipment these days )

  I was wondering if any had these running for this purpose?

  You can pick them up for around $100.00 US  and for $30.00 -
$40.00 more add in a good graphics card

  Even that they a prone to psu failure from time to time  lol

  Let me know if any had success with these..


Thank You
