Help Wanted / Help wanted to setup my machine

« on: January 05, 2010, 06:45:43 am »

Hi all,

You may have seen me harassing you all on IRC.
Its getting to that point where i need to bite the bullet and admit that i need hand holding, but more importantly i need to understand so i can also help myself and others in future.

So what im asking is help from anyone (im assuming a dev) to get my machine setup properly and working.

My setup is listed (link in my signature).

I am willing to pay to have it working and me taught on what was done (setup wise), and how to control other devices.
Please quote it if your interested and PM me.

I also intend to add an ip surveilance camera to my setup.

I am based in Australia

We dont have a device template for the T500... cue Thom to give me a 'bashing' for not having one ;-)

...but we do have it working very well using our V4l package (PM me if any of you would like a copy...its DKMS based so will work correctly on 0710 or 0810...or indeed 0910 too ;-)  )...and reliably in Myth now. The only issue we see is that if we reboot the T500's do not get in initialised properly from a 'warm' firmware boot. The solution is to do a shutdown, remove the power for 15 secs or so, then powerup and all is well. This is an irritation but compared to before when the T500 was so unstable it was unusable its very acceptable!

All the best for Xmas and for the new year too!

Andrew

im taking you up on the offer , PM sent

+1 on this card,  mines the OEM without any remote if that makes a difference

do you still need the output?

colinjones, BTW how did you get mythtv to recognise this card ? i had a look at the mythtv wiki and it seems the 0810 recognises it but how do i get mythtv to use it ? (Im not sure if this hijacking but i though i might ask here )

I have the Nova-T-500 which is a USB connection through the PCI interface. I couldn't see a specific PCI entry for it, but I suspect it is the VIA USB card (as I don't think I have any other VIA in the system, the mobo chipset is nVidia)

v4l2-ctl didn't work, its looking for a device here, /dev/video which doesn't exist (running 0710) there is a device under /dev/dvb... several directories and devices for 2 "adapters" etc, but using the --device= option just reports:

ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT

I didn't have to compile anything, however I am not using this DVB card right at the moment.

he finally got back to me and goods have arrived.

Now since this thing is a transmitter and receiver how should it be placed, because it needs to face the person with the remote but also face the entertainment unit to transmit to the other devices...

so red led facing the couch or the unit?
