Users / squeezeslave install

« on: February 24, 2010, 04:04:20 am »

Hello,

Trying to install squeezeslave to my core to see if i can use it to play audio over my intercom speakers around the house (not connected to any md), just for mood music, party, Christmas, you name it. (i can feed sound into the intercom through an aux connection)

Went to the wiki, but it's an outdated one for the older version.

Can anybody explain how to install this on the core. I'm trying it myself, but if somebody already figured it out, please chime in.

Looking for the exact install instructions.

Problems i see now are:

naming is different, currently the file is not called squeezeslave but squeezeslave-lnx26 (this should be no biggie, but the name has to be the same for the script and the file itself looking in the script and how it calling stuff)

default-rd.d: command not found (looking for what this does and what the new command is)

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Users / gyration remote movement not right

« on: February 12, 2010, 08:24:09 pm »

Hey, i bought a few 3101 remotes and was trying it on my windooze computer, it works great on that. Than i plugged it into my lmce core and all buttons seem to work but movement of the gyration part is very unpleasant. It will move the cursor, but only at certain moments, than it will move quick, than slow, it's just not right.

Has anybody else seen this, and what can i do to improve this?

Thanks,

Richard

Developers / Errors Trying to setup build environment

« on: December 15, 2009, 04:34:41 am »

OK, i'm using virtualbox under windooze 7. running ubuntu 0810, everything fine there.

Did update dist-upgrade, also all good. took a snapshot because i had to do it many times before.....

I'm using the building linuxmce 0810 wiki http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810

ok than i go into building, everything seems to go fine untill i start the "preparing for build" part

I got a liblircclient0 error, it need the package liblircclient0 0.8.3-0ubuntu2+lmce2_i386.deb but  liblircclient0 0.8.3-0ubuntu2 is already installed..... ? ok so i installed this lmce2 package manual and after that it ran smooth all the way to the actual build scripts.

Than at the build-replacements.sh (i'm running them all manual for the first time as recommended) after 2 hours of building libxine i get the following output (i left some of the middle part out because of the 20000 character limit for posting)

Users / "Play All" with picture media

« on: October 22, 2009, 02:11:57 am »

Hey, the button "Play All" when you are in a folder with pictures, doesn't do anything, is this supposed to work?

I thought it would start a slideshow of all pictures in that folder full screen, something my wife 'needs'

If there is nothing in place for this, what would it take to make this happen?

Would be nice to have a slideshow with a few buttons for 'next' and/or previous picture, maybe later even a zoom function or something, not looking for anything fancy, just a slideshow.

I've seen some old post about this and i kinda "assumed" it was already integrated.........

Users / use dvr card audio input as trigger

« on: September 26, 2009, 08:02:16 pm »

some dvr cards have an audio in for multiple locations.... could this be used to trigger an event?

Not looking for full voice control, but just.... if there is a sound coming in ------> do this.
I'm looking at this from a security standpoint, probably triggering all lights to come on and emailing/texting/calling my phone when it happens.

Is this already possible in the current setup, if so where do i look to set this up...

Thanks,

Richard

Installation issues / USB UIRT is not installing correctly (Solved)

« on: August 28, 2009, 07:00:39 am »

I connected the USB UIRT to my MD, it recognizes it and than, nothing.........

The error I can see is:

Failed to load Pluto IRbase

The rest looks normal, as far as I know what normal is.

When I point the remote to the usb uirt it blinks, but it's not capturing the code.

I tried to connect the usb uirt to a windows box and it worked fine capturing codes.............. sooooooooooooo

Can anybody tell me what I need to do.

Users / GMA500 GPU

« on: July 16, 2009, 05:03:06 am »

Has anybody tried one of these?

If so, how did it work, I can't find any hits on this GPU on the whole site.

These are fit in what they call the fit-pc2, a very nice small PC with a nice configuration
Here is a comparison on the GPU chipsets

                                  GMA500                  GMA950
Chipset                        Intel US15W            Intel 945GSE
Clockspeed                   200 Mhz                 250 Mhz
Max Memory Band (GB/s) 4.2GB/s                 10.7GB/s
Max Shared Memory       256MB                    8-224MB
Vertex Shader Model      4.1                         2
Pixel Shade Model          4.1                         2
Pixel Pipelines                2                           4
Unified Shader Procs       4                           N/A
Hardware Vertex Shaders Yes                       No
OpenGL                         2                          1.4
Dirext X                         10.1                     9.0c

VC-1 Acceleration         VLD+iMDCT+MC+LF    N/A
AVC Acceleration         VLD+iMDCT+MC+LF     N/A

Looks like it would be "alright" if the hardware decoding is active.

Thanks,

Installation issues / SOLVED X10 CM11A installation in 0810

« on: July 08, 2009, 05:23:53 pm »

Is anybody running the X10 CM11A from a regular Serial port in LinuxMCE 0810.

If so, did you have to do anything special to get it to run?

I installed mine as per Wiki, but the device will not show as Registered in the Web Admin.
I don't know if it's just not seeing the CM11A or if it is not installing the right drivers etc...
Looking for some pointers, please.... have a box full of X10 stuff and cannot use it.
I cannot find any of the logs that other people are using to trouble shoot, which I guess is an option I have not found yet.

I left the CM11A unplugged without batteries overnight, I do not even have batteries in it, since LinuxMCE doesn't use that part.

So any specifics about this device in 0810 on an onboard serial port?
How do I turn on logging to trouble shoot?


Little help please, thank you,

Richard

Users / Can this setup be done?

« on: June 28, 2009, 05:00:42 am »

Hi all, very interested in this LinuxMCE, i'm ready to try it and I'm picking the hardware as we speak, but... haha

I'm going to build a core (or hybrid) and possibly 5 or more MD's (big house). Now I know only 2 of these MD's are going to be important to do HD on.
I would like to use Netboot but can put a small hd in the MD's if necessary.

For the Core/Hybrid I'm probably going for a cheap quad core intel setup and a decent Gpu so I can use a monitor if I want to.

We have a current home intercom, and I would like to incorporate this somehow in the system, still have to do research on this as also for the security system part, we have an old system installed, but do not use it. The way I see it, we at least have wires running, which helps.

My first question is: is a cheaper quad core or a better dual core going to be able to run 5+ (up to 10) MD's?


After building my core and 1 or 2 MD's that work I will upgrade swiftly, for the MD's i'm going for the ATOM ION boards with the M350 enclosure.

I want to give the developers of this system a big CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS for this great system, Hopefully I will be able to contribute after using the system for a while and integrating my intercom and home security.

Richard
