Im unsure what is wrong now that ive got my install basically working nice...  everything works sound video... stuck at 720p buts okay for now...  during AV wizard i noticed it could find the audio track to play so it said no sound ...  and after that couldn't find the video setup girl  file either...  Now all setup  i get this when i try and play audio or video...

File not found: /home/public/data/other/flash(sbd1)-core [34]/ the movie.avi or audio.mp3

I decided to test sound to make sure the hardware was working...  i added a MH play Internet radio button to orbiter for MD  under investigation ... plays Internet music like a charm.... same for my weather stream...

What can i do to fix the issue to allow my MD to connect to music and video's on network... or in this case for testing a usb flash plugged into core  (haven't moved my NAS off my 0710 core and 1 MD for keeping the family at bay)  but very close i think...

all the drive mappings are done for you, automatically  seems mine didn't go through since gettings video workings was a pain...  Is there a script or something i can run to recreate these mappings?

I have followed the instructions for setting up diskless MD's, using MD that was previously worked perfect with 0710...   

its video card
PCIE Geforce 8400GS 256ram    will this work? did before i change to 0810b2

after switching 64 to i386 and rebuilding finally got the MD to boot ... then ofcourse the "failed to start X" error... so after installing/uninstalling nividia drivers many many times...  and following info i found on forums... was able to get nvidia 195 beta drivers installed and to not go failed X

It now goes black screen and when ever i try mode change or resolution change 1-0 on keyboard any time i hit one it goes back to console showing Nivdia 195 installation ended and the date... then 2 sec later goes black again.... press a key 1 beep  few sec later ring with 3 beeps...  never get to avwizard...  have i missed something?

here is lspci

Installation issues / Hardware recommendations
« on: January 31, 2009, 02:35:14 am »
Hello, im pretty familiar with with linuxmce now ... i have been building a few test units controlling the MD's with iphone and other wifi orbiters.... Im currently building a whole house audio and video distribution system using russound sphere system... there are 6 plasmas throughout out the house on different zones with russsound  sphere key pads. All of the equipment and wires for everything is in a media closet off the home theatre room that is the 7th media director for the 1080i projector... So all the 6-7MD's and the core will all be in a rack next to the all the other AV equipment for the house.... Most of the house A/V equipment is all source controlled right on the keypads in each zone. I Would like to have a 7 capture cards 1 in each MD connected to the output on all the cable boxes and then IR control all the cable boxs in each zone.....

So I would like to know how I can control all of the AV equipment equipment  in the media closet with a wifi orbiter everything in closet is IR except for xbox controller...which type of PCI tv capture cards are best for my application... They need to be able to communicate with each TV cable box independently and yes I want to use the cable boxes for the TV guides no direct connections without boxes...


Sorry if this is hard to follow...This is a custom set-up so ask anything you need to know..

Thanks
