Hi,

i'm testing the new 1004 and it looks quite good. But i have some problems where i don't know what to do...

1.) Booting is very slow. I think about 5-10 min until Orbiter is ready.
2.) When i want to ssh from the core to the md it takes about 3 min to have the prompt. After that it works with normal speed.
3.) Internet connection is also very slow. When i try to ping google it takes very long.

Any tips where i can find logs or something else?

thanks in advance

Hello,

it's time for a new Core! 

Currently my core runs very well on a Intel Atom D525 - not quite fast but very low power, which is very important because it's running 24/7. The main reason why i want a new Core is the ability to have full backups.
Last weekend i tried Virtualbox but the Atom don't have Virtualisation so it's very very slow. Unusable... So i need some advice on a cheab, low power CPU/Mainboard which does well with virtualisation. Is an AMD Athlon or Sempron fast enough? Or are there any other ideas how to full backup a running system?
I don't want to backup media because media is stored on an unRaid server.

thanks.

hi,

don't know if it is possible to sort Videos by Creation Date. This Sort order would be great to see Videos which myhtv recorded last night. I know that i can go in myhtv to media list and watch them there - now we do this all the time, but i think it would be much better to watch them with xine...

thanks

hi,

does anybody know if it is possible to change the "Days of week" and "Time" of one Timed Event via shell command or something else? I don't want to go into webadmin and change the things and reload the dcerouter.

hi,

installed yesterday core on my new server with the "web-installation". Today i wanted to install my MD (this runs also on my old core). At first i called  /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh and this ended with a error, that it couldn delete a tmp-dir because it is busy?!?! tried to start the md and now it loops with:

Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount...
Done.
nfsmount: need a path

After a lot of loops i come to a initramfs. Any suggestions?

thanks

hi,

last week i bought a car and was looking for a "smart radio" and found www.centrafuse.com. Okay, this is not open source and it is not Linux, but it has some really cool features like optical park assistence or tire pressure messurement. So, my idea is: build in my car such a pc put a UMTS-Stick (in austria it is not really expensive) and synchronize the music from LMCE to the car. I also want to write a plugin/batchjob for centrafuse to send the GPS position of the car every 10 minutes to LMCE. That said, i want to have a smart House and a smart Car  Has anyone other ideas for a combination of these two systems? Or does anyone know a piece of linux software with the functionality of centrafuse?

hey,

i try to respond  to Temperature Changed Events. But it never gets fired. Only the Set Point Temperature Changed gets fired.
Is it possible to use the changed value and take it as a Parameter for a shell script? I need the changed value in a shell script. I know that i can start the script with App Server and Spawn Application, but i don't know how to insert the changed temperature. Any Ideas?

regards

Hi,

i've read a lot about the new EIB Implementation with eibd. But i have some questions:

1.) (Newbie Question): How can i start eibd on startup?
2.) I only have to replace the old EIB (usr/pluto/bin/EIB) with the new one from hari?
3.) I have all my Lights, Thermostats and so on in the Device Tree and they are working very well. Do i have to change there anything?
4.) Is there now the possibility to read the values from the Devices? This is the most important thing, because i want to read and save the values in a database.

thanks in advance

hey,

i want to buy a Dlink DNS-323 NAS for my lmce (810). My Question is: Can i run my core 24/7 and turn the NAS on when i want to watch the movies on them and after watching turning it off or has the NAS also be online 24/7?

thanks.

hi,

when i resynchronize a directory of videos i have sometimes problems with the metadatas. For example: i have two directories, in one there is the movie The bourne ultimatum. I insert the coverart and metadata from imdb and everthing seems ok. But when i synchronize the second video directory the movie scooby doo gets the same metadata from the first movie (bourne ultimatum). i tried to delete all data in media file sync and the id3 file, but when i recreate the metadata there is the same problem again...

you can see both of die videos have the same db-attr (521) and Inode (67125258). How can this happen? What can i do, that this will not happen again?

hello,

in my bedroom the blinds close on sunset and open on sunrise. It's really cool to see the sun in the morning when you wake up - but on weekends i want to sleep longer. I've searched in the webadmin/forum how to add a criteria to the Event, but without luck. Does anyone know how i can add a criteria to such events - or is there a other solution for my problem?

thanks

hi,

i use LMCE 0704 in my home and want to upgrade to the new version. The question is: should i upgrade my installation or should i buy a new HDD an install it there? I am afraid of loosing all the data and configuration on my current system when i do an upgrade but i also don't want to buy a new HDD an do all the configuration stuff again.

Has anyone tried to upgrade? And did it work?

thanks

hi,

does anybody use the "Text to Speech" feature? I want to make an announce every day at 21 o'clock. But only 21 days and after that make 7 days nothing and then it should start from the beginning and so on. The reason is: my girlfriend always forget to take her pill  So i thougt it would be a great feature if LinuxMCE tells her to take it. But another problem is: we watch TV and at 21 o'clock myth shut's down and xine do the annouce. How can i make the announce without stopping mythtv?

thanks
avajon

Hi,

does anybody know how i can Add Ruby Codes to the EIB-Interface (Device Template 49)?
I want to add some logging feature because all the thermostats and switches are sending infos to the BUS and i want to save them in a database. So i can see in the future how the temperature was in the summer, winter, the last days or over the whole year... I also want to save when a light switch was pressed (to update the state in lmce). This data can be used to simulate people in the house when you are in holiday...

thanks
avajon
