Did you try the "Mobile Phone Basic" skin?

No i didn't have the time,
does this skin have a lower resolution to begin with, so it doesn't need to be much compressed?
will this improve image quality?

yes i am using 480x320 and i selected the 'basic' skin,
is there any way to get the orbiter screen-images sharper?
the iphone can produce very sharp pictures.
or is the regenning to smaller resolutions process causing this image-quality?

to make things clear, i do not want to step on anybody's toes, just want to give feedback to make things better.

Anyone got some suggestions for the MainMenu???
It looks a bit dull at the moment..

i would say, very basic control-buttons for media playback and lights, so that you have quick access to them.

hi Andrew,

been using your weborbiter with great pleasure on my iphone 3GS,
the thing i noticed is that the images get blurry,
for instance the green area around a trackname gets 'artifacts' and the text isn't always readable,
i did set the standard iphone resolution,

is there anyway to get this better?

br,
Raymond

What resolution are you configuring your Web Orbiter for?

I Suspect you are just seeing artifacts that are created in the rescaling process the bitmaps go through when regenned at smaller resolutions. There is a marked difference in the quality of the Orbiter screens between the iPod Touch/iPhone3g/iPhone3GS which ahre the same resolution screens and say the iPhone4 which has a much higher resolutions screen.

All the best


Andrew

i set the resolution to the standard iphone res. (in webadmin)
do you mean i have to use a higher resolution to get a better image quality?

DragonK this looks amazing, superb work!
if i may make 1 suggestion, make the background a very dark color (almost black),
for instance very, very dark purple. this will give your great design a very classy and high-end look.
looking forward to using your skin,

Hi Mandingo,
thanks for your superb list,
but there are some broken links in it, its just a type i guess :
hauppage is written with 2 'p' some links have only 1 'p' in it  .

another thing i want to mention about the section 'ATSC/NTSC Cards (only in US/Canada )',
the hauppage-cards are also available in the EU, they are labeled as 'analog tv-cards' and therefore (i think) should work in the EU also.
don't know if the other cards in this section are also available in the EU.

hth,

« on: October 03, 2010, 10:15:09 pm »

the 'only' thing i did so far is 'getting the tuner to work',
but the overall picture-quality isn't what i like it to be,
is there any way to get a better picture from my analog cable connection,

my thoughts:
because there is a function that you can pause live tv, so it does record, recording of a show is always on in the background (at least for a few seconds, showed up in the mythtv webadmin) this function makes me believe that you aren't watching 'live-tv' but the recording,
is this true?
and if so can u set the recording to a better quality?

Installation issues / Re: Mythtv: sound stays on

« on: October 01, 2010, 11:12:38 pm »

I suggest using a supported tuner card, or adding code to mute the tuner card channel.

Please, guys. It's important, when you first set up a system, to use supported hardware!

-Thom

sorry, but i am fairly new to all of this, the card uses the standard v4L driver and therefore i assumed it was supported.
it was recognized by the system immediately, no problem.
so this still isn't supported hardware?

Yes, even if you got it to mute when you paused, the sync would be off. In fact, I would think the sync is off now... because the image buffers a little bit and you are just getting a raw audio feed.

thats right sync is a bit off, is there anyway to solve this?

thanks all,

Installation issues / Mythtv: sound stays on

« on: October 01, 2010, 03:23:51 pm »

Hi all,

i got my mythtv finally up and running (there where some bumps installing the tv grabber )
but i noticed something weard:
if i stop tv, the sound stays on, i have to reboot to kill it.

i got a analog asus tuner card (TV FM 7134);
i had to run a separate cable from this card to the mainboard audio-in to get audio working.
i use the standard template in mythtv-setup for the tunercard.

anybody any ideas as how to solve this?
