Installation issues / Installiing second ethernet card?
« on: March 30, 2010, 01:58:11 pm »
Ok so I ordered a second ethernet card as my hybrid only had the one.
It just arrived so I am looking at putting it in, however, I have been reading some posts and the wiki and suggests
that it is not just as simple as plug and play!

Is this info still valid or have changes been made so that my currently setup hybrid will recognise the second ethernet card!!

thanks in advance

Users / Best Automation type to implement
« on: March 25, 2010, 12:32:53 pm »
Ok so I have been making good progress with my new install (many thanks to everyone who responded to my questions)

I am now turning to the Automation side and looking at which type (x10, Insteon, etc) to implement!!
I currently have a CM15A controller and one appliance module I got off a friend for testing and these work great.

However he now wants them back so im looking at buying my own gear.
I have read a few users comments and alot seem to prefer Insteon over X10!

I can program PLC's with ladder logic so the automation side shouldnt be a problem to me but what I wanted to know
was which system has the most capabilities in the long run, regardless of how complex it is to implement?

Thanks again  ;D

Users / Ipod Touch
« on: March 24, 2010, 12:51:54 pm »
Quote from wiki page "connect the I-Touch to the Linuc-MCE Wi-Fi access point in DHCP mode"

How is this done? I have setup the generic web orbiter and I can get to the login page on the core however
using the same url I dont get anything on my ipod touch!! Is this due to not connecting in DHCP mode as stated above
as I have reloaded the router and this is the only thing I can think of!!

P.S. I read some other topics about the possibility of fully functional ipod orbiter, any news on it?

Users / Video Playback
« on: March 23, 2010, 07:16:52 pm »
Forgive me if this has already been asked but I couldnt find anything when searching!

I have a projector hooked up to my hybrid on the VGA port.
LMCE is set to display on the DVI port and works fine.

However When I wan to watch movies I want to use my projector!
Should I change my nvidia settings to not use twinview and have both displays the same!!

P.S. How the hell do I turn off subtitles!!

Thanks again for the excellent help

I recently installed a snapshot of 810 and all seemed fine until I installed LMCE.

Users / CM15A USB type with wall outlet
« on: March 16, 2010, 01:06:31 pm »
Hi Again,

I am trying to setup my X10 controller, its a CM15A usb type.
Does anyone know the easiest method of doing this?

I have a wall outlet that I can get working using my Windows OS however I want to have everything working
off my new Hybrid I just built...

I have tried a few different things like setting the house code on the outlet to B1 instead of A1 etc..
However I have had no luck to date.

I would really like to get this working as I am looking at putting this system all over the house if I can get it working!

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Users / [SOLVED] Media files Directory
« on: March 16, 2010, 11:24:29 am »
Hi All,

I am new to LinuxMCE however have been a programmer for a number of years.

I am having a bit of trouble with LinuxMCE picking up audio files that I copy into a directory on the KDE4 OS. ???

Am I putting the files into the wrong directory? or do they have to be a particular type of extension?

I would appreciate any help as I am really keen on using LinuxMCE as I love the UI and have a real interest in home automation.

Thanks in Advance...
