Nearly another month went by, since the last time I asked if anything happened...

So, did anyone make any progress within the LinuxMCE/Dianemo space with regards to HTML/JSON/RPC whatever?

I will, if I know where the zip-file will be stored.

I think thats fixed now :-)
There is however some graphical garbage appearing that makes some of the buttons increasingly unreadable. I suppose that is a driver issue with my cellphone -htc evo3d.

    I have been putting together my first LinuxMCE (10.04) Hybrid Core, and ran into a problem.  I wanted to re-use an old ATI HD650 PCI card to capture a live stream from my STB.  The plan was to allow normal channel selection and DVR play from the STB remote, for now.  Unfortunately, the PCI card is not compatible with my PCI-E motherboard.  So now I'm stuck buying a new "tuner" card.

    10.04 hardware documentation is still sparse (unless I'm just not looking in the right place) so it's hard to tell how new is too new.  I was hoping to find an HDMI-capture card (AverMedia AVerTV HD, maybe?) but I wasn't sure if it will do the job.  If there are no good HDMI-Input options, I can easily settle for other input connections, as long as they support HD content (some coax inputs will carry HD.) but HDMI is clearly the preference.  I have AT&T Uverse, so a tuner card directly from the wall isn't an option.

    The video capture is the only piece I am missing ahead of the install, and nothing is "latest and greatest", so if I have more "proven" options under 8.10, I can still go that route.  The long-term plan is to bring in as many as 4 STB inputs to a separate core, but for now I will have the single hybrid to learn on.  Any suggestions will be a great help, as I am trying to do this the right way, and am hungry for any knowledge available.

Hmm. Have you cleared out /sdcard/linuxmce? Thats where the config.xml is stored.

hmmm, this sounds like a funky permissions issue.
Can you please give me a couple things.

1) the zipfile in question
2) output of ls -lha in the directory in question.

Thanks.

I'm having a bit of an issue with autotagging. I will start it in a directory with some tv-shows in it. The script will start and shows the log. There it will download a zip-file and start expanding it...and thats the point where its hanging...for hours, even days. The webadmin will not respond anymore and the whole system slows down to a crawl.  I don't really have an idea how to solve this issue.

As much as I like the idea, I would think there are so many legal issues (no pun intended) involved here.  Aside from the multimedia presentation aspect; good, clean recordings that are labeled well of everyone involved, the ability for the judge to mute all of the mics if he has a bench meeting, getting the right camera where you want it etc.

I can't tell where you are from but if you are in the states you may want to check out javs.com.  They have been doing courtroom automation since the VCR and have an incredible system.  The engineers and original creators are geniuses. You would be doing yourself a service to at least investigate what is out there.

Hello everyone.  I am upgrading the tech in a courtroom and would love to implement lmce into the courtroom.  I need to be able to control a document camera with the orbiter, such as zoom, split screen, and also the AV switcher that is built into the doc cam.  I see that controlling the DVD player will be pretty easy.  My main concern is the doc cam control and being able to control all 6 monitors around the courtroom both as a group and individually.  I would greatly appreciate any advise on this as this will be my first experience with lmce.  I am hoping that i can blow away the commissioners with what I do in the courtroom that they will decide to go forward with automating the entire courthouse, using lcme.  Thanks in advanced for the help.
