Thanks for the help!

Got it to recognize the graphics card BUT now all I get is the TV show audio and the display screen is blank. Everything else display OK just not TV.

Thanks for responding WR.

Its a PVR-150MCE.

I am not recording anything so it must be the card is not installed/configured. How do I get to the MythTV backend to check to see if the card is installed? The LMCE configuration says it is installed.

Installation issues / MythTV Error

« on: March 05, 2009, 12:54:15 am »

I installed from the DVD and finished the install OK but am getting the following message from MythTV:

"MythTv is already using all available inputs for the channel you selected. If you want to watch an in-pregress recording select one from the playback menu. If you want to watch live TV, cancel one of the in-progress recordings from the delete menu."

My tv card seems to be installed correctly but I keep getting this (I am not recording anything - nothing to delete showing up).

How can I fix this.

Thanks.

When you wrote this in a previous post in this thread:
"Currently the orbiter UI has no such provision for altering those values on-screen. They have to be done in the web admin. The Orbiter is not meant for such things, and adding them would clutter the UI."
what were you referring to?

What I am trying to figure out is:
1) Can the temperature being read by the sensor be displayed on the Orbiter?
2) Can the user set the temperature on the Orbiter (that is set a value) that the event handler will use to programtically turn the heater on and off to keep the spa water temperature at the user set value? This would be the same question if you wanted to set a light to a specific dim level say 40%. Can the user somehow input the value "40" that can be used by an event handler routine to set the light at 40%?

I will read the wiki RE events but I guess then for HA I should stick with HouseBot - the software remote capabilities are way beyond what LinuxMCE can do as far as I can tell. HB allows me to control variables that can be sent to devices or to tasks and scripts and from there to devices, etc. to do all kinds of complicated conditional control functions - don't see this in LinuxMCE. Am I wrong?

Great. That's the interface I have.

Given that is possible es it possible to set up an event to be triggred conditioned on the reading from the 1-wire device? For example: if the temperatue goes below some user set value turn on the pool heater (connected to an x-10 switch)? If so, how would the user set value be set on the orbiter? Sorry if these are questions that are basic but I am trying to decide if I want to switch from Housebot to LinuxMCE for my HA or just use it for media stuff, etc.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the quick reply Thom.

So the overall process to get the temperature of my pool for instance, to display on the orbiter would be:

Install my 1-wire interface as a generic serial device
Use a floor plan to show the temperature

Is it that "simple"?

Is there a way to display values (such as temperature) from a 1-wire temperature sensor on an Orbiter?I can't seem to find anything here on how this would be implemented.
