Installation issues / Setup wizard / Xine / Myth TV doesn't work on newly installed media director
« on: October 11, 2007, 03:50:11 pm »
I installed a media director (disked PC) and tried to run video and got a blank screen with no audio. Then I tried to run setup wizard from the Orbiter - again no video plays, no sound - screen has all other buttons though.
Myth Tv also does the same thing.
Any help !

Developers / Re: Disked MD setup
« on: October 11, 2007, 04:08:38 am »
Followed the steps that you mentioned. Somehow it does a strange setup that leaves me without the Start_DiskedMD.sh program. After struggling through the different issues, I managed to get the orbiter working on the disked media director.
When I want to watch my videos - it just displays a blank screen :-( .. The same videos on core work fine. The videos are on a NAS and mounts are good.
Even the setup wizard on disked media director doesnt play video / sound.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Rajan

Developers / Disked MD setup
« on: October 09, 2007, 12:07:09 am »
Can some one point me to Disked MD source - installation and startup ? I am looking for Startup_DiskedMD.sh file on LMCE 0704. I am presuming that there is an equivalent setup file too :-)

Installation issues / Re: Media Director PC - boot from disk : Issue with Regeneration of Skin
« on: October 08, 2007, 10:04:47 pm »
My PC's BIOS doesn't support network boot. I read on this forum that disked media director is an option on the latest release of LMCE.
I was trying to avoid buying another PC whose bios supports PXE boot.

Installation issues / Re: Media Director PC - boot from disk : Issue with Regeneration of Skin
« on: October 08, 2007, 05:28:31 pm »
I reinstalled the system from a scratch - Kubuntu followed by LinuxMCE (using 3 CD edition). the same results :-(
One thing that I noticed during MCE installation was that it runs Setup_DisklessMD.sh. I am wondering if I have the wrong disks or am doing something wrong ? Here is what I do :
Install the MCE installer package from Linux MCE CD#1 and that leaves me with a MCE Installer icon on the desktop. When I click on the MCE installer, it ckecks with CORE and starts a Diskless setup and is done within less than 30 seconds. At the end, it displays a box saying - reboot the syetem and then there will be regeneration of skin etc.
In the meantime, I also configure the CORE/ Hybrid for a new Generic PC media director - along with an OnScreen Orbiter. I use MAC address of the PC that I will use for Media director.
After reboot, I have to login to the Kubuntu login prompt using my user id and password. Then I run LMCE from my desktop. All goes well and the Orbiter starts . Somehow the orbiter is in a small screen on the left side - showing BIG buttons and only half the items.
Also, I read somewhere that there is a StartupDiskedMD.sh - a script that I cannot find anywhere on my system.
Help !

Installation issues / Re: Media Director PC - boot from disk : Issue with Regeneration of Skin
« on: October 05, 2007, 04:18:10 pm »
To solve the databse issue - I had to download QMYSQL3 package and I discovered that (on my installation) a lot of files were missing from /usr/lib and /usr/pluto/lib and /usr/pluto/bin.
The issue of regeneration of skin was resolved by editing pluto.conf (in /etc) and adding the following line:
PK_DEVICE <device number of media director>
You can get the device number of media director from LinuxMCE's admin website.
So far - I have managed to copy the missing files from core and am stuck in a stage where registration of Orbiter with the core is timing out.
I will look into /usr/pluto/bin/LaunchOrbiter.sh to investigate this issue.
Help !

Installation issues / Media Director PC - boot from disk : Issue with Regeneration of Skin
« on: October 05, 2007, 03:12:53 am »
Hi
I installed Media Director on a PC and when I click on "Start Media Station", it connects with the DCE router (core) and then fails to regenerate skin.
In connection tab on Linux MCE launch manager, I see that there is a MySQL data required - host, user and password - I have tried various combinations like localhost / IP address of the core (192.168.80.1) and user id of root with root;s password and MCE users with their passwords. Nothing works..
Any pointers / suggestions to resolve this will be highly appreciated.
regards
Rajan

Installation issues / Media Director Not working
« on: October 01, 2007, 04:07:31 am »
I installed Linux MCE 07 04 as Core/Hybrid and it works fine with the orbiter on that machine.
I also installed LinuxMCE as Media director using 3 CD approach (Kubuntu and Linux MCE CD set) on a PC with 40 GB hard disk. Configured the PC to be a media director on Core/ Hybrid.
I logged on to the Kubuntu and start Linux MCE. THe graphical screen pops up and when I click on start media station - it gave me an error - prompting me to regenerate skin for the oribiter because the resolution of screen had changed. Eventually I get an error - saying failed to regenerate skin.
Incidentally, it also displays an Orbiter SDL / loader on the Core/Hybrid.
After a few attempts on rebooting both core/hrbrid and the media director PC - the mdeia director PC fails to boot. It shows - Helper script starting .. and then attempts to load CIFS (VFS) - Command xx mid 139 142 and continues .. in that loop.
Pls help !!
