Users / Re: My first home automation project (zwave)

« on: February 12, 2010, 04:35:38 am »

i use zwave, only one module right now to start. got the usb with inclusion from micasaverde  its real easy to use compared to the intermatic unit i first tried. my understanding is the more zwave units you have the better the zwave network gets.

Installation issues / Re: MythTV problems beta 2 0810 - "I cannot play this media"

« on: January 21, 2010, 01:52:37 pm »

experience the same problem and that fix worked for me.  Just curious if the preferences file will be a permanant addition to lmce to control what version of myth is installed   if say avenard changes again at a later date?

now i am missing libdvdcss2 and w32codecs and id-my-disc.  apt-get does not install. says there are refrences but no candidate found.

The software sources are not configured properly.  Did you run "sudo apt-get update" before running "sudo apt-get install {whatever}"?  What are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list?

Users / Re: Access file server on external network

« on: June 26, 2009, 01:50:14 pm »

hey guys,, this post turned from a simple type "can i do this" to a philosophical discussion on networks. 

The basic answer was, yes you can put a file share on an external network, but its not the recommended way to do things.

If you must know i put the file server on the external and i have linuxmce on a different segment thsn the rest of my network is because i only have a 810 alpha box which i'm still experimenting with hardware seeing what i cant change and if i screw it up i can reinstall it and not have problems with other computers and devices not being on the network.

itspac,

I use a file server on the external network of my lmce box. I just have to add the file server address and MAC usinf the web admin. Then I reload router and let lmce do the rest

I listen to what you guys say..   all i can say is that if i use my free will and setup things outside  of the recommended way... i don't ask you for help with it if/when i have problems...

That's fine with me. The only thing I do not understand is, you are saying you plugged in the MAC address and IP address of your outside NAS system. And you do not have a problem. That seems strange, as each time I added the mac address AND ip address, it would screw DHCP after I added a new MD. Could you post your /etc/dhcpd.conf file maybe together with mac address of your external NAS? I'd like to take a look at the details.

Thanks

I can do that.. problem is...  Im in the process of moving. I wont get everything and connected until beginning of July..

hmm, instead of trying to duct tape on MythTV plugins, MAYBE a few of us developers could get together and actually make Orbiter screens for this stuff that's provided by the plugins so it could actually be DISTRIBUTED across the whole smart home!

damn it fellas,

Where are the developers?
Where are the coders?
Where are the hackers?

Are you all really just a bunch of users?

For all the time wasted duct taping things on, that time could be better spent actually integrating this stuff into the system correctly!

If you just want mythtv, go use something else, that's not why I am here. This is a smart home, and the UI is supposed to be distributed house wide, and if you're using a VDR or MythTV plugin, guess what? that's not house wide!

I'm getting tired getting down on my knees begging for help, because me, Hari, Uplink, and Possy can't do it all.. Jondecker76 has a life, with a wife and many kids....

I know more than a few of you are developers in here that use this software. PLEASE STEP UP AND HELP!!!!

-Thom

wheee  i think his whole point was finding documentation on what things are supported in both mythtv and vdr..   

not everyone has the time to invest to get to the point where they can be heavy into development..  wife..kids...work...
