Update: I get center speaker only, when testing mplayer, and only left and right speakers when I run speaker-test.

I've followed a wiki on mythtv, specific to audigy and digital out, and so far it's not been successful:
set the speaker_arrangement to Pass Through in ~/.xine/config
mute Optical raw in alsamixer
unmute Analog/Digital out in alsamixer
KDE has sound fine, and I can play music through the orbiter. It just seems to be DVDs in Xine.

I can play music, but still no sound on DVDs. I've read about and tried using the stereo setting instead of s/pdif coax in the webadmin, restarting the router, but to no effect. It was noted in that workaround that the pass through should be left checked, though when I change to stereo, the checkbox is unchecked and then disabled, so that I can't leave it checked. Any ideas on getting audio in DVDs? This is the last piece before I can retire my xbox with XBMC. Thank you!

Installation issues / [RESOLVED] wiimote ir setup for full screen orbiter
« on: April 03, 2009, 02:26:10 pm »
I followed the wiki for setting up a wiimote, and am using the ir functionality, which makes this MD a incredible upgrade to my current setup using an xbox with XBMC. When the MD boots into the orbiter, and I connect a wiimote, I can only scroll through the bottom left 1/4 of the screen. Others have noted this problem as well.
For me the resolution was to use the default ir_ptr (with the tildes "~") and to add the xorg.conf lines described here.

Code: [Select]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Wiimote"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Nintendo Wiimote"
EndSection
and to the ServerLayout sectionCode: [Select]
InputDevice "Wiimote" "AlwaysCore"
Also, I removed the mac address so that any of my wiimotes can connect. So far, so good. Now if I can get sound from my Audigy card, I can start using this MD!

Installation issues / [SOLVED] SPDIF sound everywhere except from orbiter.
« on: April 03, 2009, 02:12:00 pm »
[SOLVED]
hen I went through the A/V Wizard, I select SPDIF Coax and Y for both Dolby Digital and DTS. The fix was to then go into the admin site, change the sound card to "Audigy", Uncheck the "Use AC3/DTS pass-through" and reboot the media director. Everything sounds good now and since figuring out how to get scrolling to work with my Wiimote and sensor bar, I can retire my aging Xbox based Xbox Media Center! Thanks!
Don't bother reading anything past this...
Yes, I have searched, read and tried several things to resolve this.
I have a netbooting md, with an Audigy card, connected to a Dolby Digital and DTS capable Sony receiver via S/PDIF Coaxial. When I run the AVWizard, I get sound for DD, but not for DTS. I've read that DTS is not possible on Linux with Audigy. When I try to play a movie, there's a crackle, and then no sound. I've started KDE, heard the start up music, unmute Optical Raw in alsamixer, no joy. I tried unmuting the other Optical setting, again with no sound in movies. What are the steps to set up an audigy 1 (not platinum) card for full LinuxMCE functionality?
Thank you!

I'm looking at zwave myself. Have you read the wiki? I saw a post in the forum concerning the new driver, but haven't read it yet. I may end up going with x10 though, due to cost, and a buddy who can get the pieces at a discount. Good luck!

« on: March 24, 2009, 02:10:28 am »
Thank you both for your help and I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll try out PXE booting. I'm already up and running with a dedicated core. I'm looking to setup wiimote support on this particular md. Do I pxe boot it and then follow the wiki instructions? So is that customized image now stored on the core for future pxe boots of that particular md? Thanks again. Hopefully I'll be able to start contributing to the documentation if nothing else, once I'm up to speed.

I've read and am following the instructions. I don't know if you have but they say that you can start from a kubuntu install, download the cd iso's, mount and unpackage the installer to the desktop, and double click the installer. The link above is near the instructions that say "Although it often possible to netboot other PCs to be used as Media Directors (from the Core or hybrid server), it is not necessarily always successful. Many users will therefore also choose to install LinuxMCE directly on a PC that will be be used as a Media Director, often placing it on a separate partition from the native OS.". That's what I'm trying to do. Any help would be great.

Users / CD install fail
« on: March 23, 2009, 06:58:03 pm »
Hi,
I have a fresh install of kubuntu on my first media director, and have the cd iso's dl'd. When I double click the installer, it recognizes my core and starts the install but fails at installing pluto-app-server. The message is that it can't find the package. I've enabled multiverse, universe and restricted repositories and have been searching for which repository that the package is in with no luck. Which repository is needed, or what should I try?
Thank you!

Nevermind, I just reinstalled LMCE, preserving the Home directory, everything is fine now. Am I reserving IP's by defining devices, such as my wifi AP? Thank you!

dhcp3-server isn't running because there's no /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file. Why is that and how should I rebuild it? Thank you!

Users / dhcp not serving ip's
« on: March 21, 2009, 07:36:30 pm »
I just added a second nic to my core, using the wiki instructions, which appears to have worked, though the mac address on the web admin networkin configuration page didn't update. I'm posting this from the core, but none of the machines on my network are getting ip's from dhcp. I've checked the box, set the range, 192.168.80.2-192.168.80.254 for both pluto and non-pluto devices, and clicked save. The core restarts, but no device gets an ip. I've setup reserved ip's by adding my wap's and mac addresses to the devices, that's how to reserve an ip, correct? How do I get dhcp working? Thank you!
