Installation issues / Re: Observation: DVD's that can cause issues on the core

« on: August 07, 2011, 07:25:19 pm »

Im not too sure about that.   I always rip my dvd discs to an iso format.  I believe if your directory is a rip of a dvd, there has to be a program to build an iso image from that directory to make an image.

The .dvd is just a rename of .iso

Well, back at this again (after a rough couple of weeks of work and a much needed week of vacation)... I found out that if I change the '/home/public/data/pvr/livetv' ownership to mythtv:public, then mythtv runs on the Media Director (other than the core/hybrid).  I would think then that mythtv is not part of the 'public' group.. will check on this.

Dennis

UPDATE:
Further investigation revealed that the mythtv user and group on the Media Director did not match those on the Core.   Recreating the mythtv group and user fixed the Mythtv not playing issue.   Do not know why these didnt get configured correctly in the first place (or even if it was supposed to).

Thom,
 The Kenwood Template is working... it turns on/off, volume works, and selecting inputs works... thats all ive figured how to integrate into the system   There is some other 'experimental' stuff in the template (i was trying to figure a way to store local radio stations and be able to select them from a list... maybe for another project and maybe over my head programming-wise).

I dont know how many people use Kenwood Sovereign receivers with their LMCE setup... If you feel it helpful.. its up to you to include it.

I did re-submit the sqlcvs diff --double-verifying what is checked to send up--

Thom,
  I have several other 'test' ir and dce definitions for my kenwood receiver.  They're not complete yet... minimal functionality so far....  as for the 'deleted' items, i have no idea what those are.

I unchecked those items during 'diff' but i guess you got them anyway...

I will re-submit 'sqlcvs-diff' and if I did it 'wrong' again can you explain how to only send up what I need just for the IMON templates?

Im going to re-install 1004 and try MythTv directly on the core/hybrid... I think I have some database corruption.

Hi guys...
Yes I know 1004 is pre-beta...   Ive been tinkering with it for a couple months now.   

I was having trouble watching any video ... turned out to be something with my nVidia 9800GT board... maybe a driver issue... but put in a 7000 series board for now DVD video is working.

I cannot get Mythtv to work..  it loads, but cannot display live tv.   My setup is as follows:
1.   Running a Hybrid CORE (only for CORE purposes)
2.   MD is M4A77TD mobo, nVidia 7000 series display adapter, HDPVR capture device.

I can  cat /dev/video0 > test.ts and the HDPVR captures video to the file.

Mythtv app launches, but cannot activate the HDPVR to stream the video...   

What logs should I be looking at?   and what might I be looking for?  to figure this issue out?

Thanks,
Dennis (the menace)

Maybe this will help with the Volume Knob and Panel buttons...

There is already a template defined for the IMON PAD... I created two new templates identical to that one except for the Device Data 'Configuration string'

For the Ultrabay panel (buttons and volume knob) here is the Configuration string:

After both Templates are created I then added them as remotes under Media Directors "Infrared Remote Controls"



That should get ya a bit further (hopefully)

Im not 100% positive, but I believe the newer lirc config files have some support for the lcd display.. I have the Thermaltake 202 case but with the smaller LCD display and the ultrabay panel (IMON).   Ive got the volume knob working with lirc, I know the buttons are set up, but I haven't checked them... and the LCD display is somewhat limited... although MythTV seems to have more functionality with it.

you might check into it.

Guys,
    I have a question regarding vdpau configuration...   I have 'hardware acceleration' set to vdpau, 'Deinterlace Quality' set to NONE (although i tried vdpau also).  Ripped DVDs are playing well, and using vdpau (verified by ssh into MD and run 'top').   It is MythTV that I cannot get vdpau to work correctly.. the audio is 'REALLY' choppy, but the video is not near as choppy.   

So, what IS the correct configuration settings?

I am running 0810 on a ASUS M4A77TD mobo, with a quad core Phenom II, and 4 gigs of ram. 

thanks in advance

Dennis
