Thanks for the support. I am going through the ticket system now to learn how that works so I can start with a lot of that and get some updates pushed out. I will let you know if I have any questions or need help with anything.

thanks again

Should be a configuration issue on the mediatomb config file.

Thanks for the input.  I guess it's time to reassemble the NAS. 

Question on .mkv and PS3 playback.  I have setup PSMS on windows machines and been able to playback .mkv files.  To access my LMCE media through my PS3 I am using LinuxMCE via MediaTomb which does not show .mkv titles.  Is there another method or is that something that needs to be implemented?

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
kill -KILL  `ps ax|grep Proxy_Orbiter|grep log|cut -b1-5`

Works a treat for me.

Sweeeeet!  Worked like a treat for me too!  That restarts them properly; now to figure out what's breaking them in the first place...

Thanks Posde!  Much appreciated!

Hi Govo!  I have not tried this myself, as I do not have a private flickr account, but this sounds like wonderful functionality to have in the main system.   If you'd like to have it included in LinuxMCE by default, and are willing to do a little additional work to make that happen, I would be willing to help you make that happen.  Feel free to ping me on #linuxmce-devel.

Personally I don't like the .dvd format because it takes ages to get to the actual movie contents. I settled for 720p as a nice balance between quality and size. Then again even when using 720p you have small rips with bad quality and huge rips with unnecessary high quality. I think it all comes down to preference ;-).

Hi folks

Had to rebuild my system due  to adding extra stuff, crashed it completely, notice one thing using my own instructions on this topic, was I couldn't unzip the file after downloading.

So the easy fix was

sudo apt-get install zip unzip

 and everything is back to normal.

Everything that you want to do, is possible, and those of us who can help, will help point you in the direction you need to go. Feel free to stop by #linuxmce-devel on freenode IRC.

You will need to study DCE devices, how they work, and build your own simple DCE device (see Developing a DCE device), so you can understand the interaction.

Once this is done, you'll need to study the interaction of Plugins with the DCE router, as you'll need to understand this, for handling the MediaStream object and its friends.

Once you understand this, you can then look at the MythTV Player, and see how it interacts with the existing mythTV, you can choose to keep this mechanism, or embed libMyth into MythTV Player (in actuality, the first version of MythTV literally embedded libmyth directly.)

Do you have the patience?

Mike,

no need to restart. Instead use this little snipped in a small BASH script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
kill -KILL  `ps ax|grep Proxy_Orbiter|grep log|cut -b1-5`

Works a treat for me.
