Installation issues / Unable to install LinuxMCE from scrach - Intrepid repositories are removed

« on: June 09, 2011, 11:47:05 pm »

I have just downloaded a snapshot to install LinuxMCE, but the process fails, due to Intrepid repositories set up by the install script has been removed (it was deleted 30. april).

Are there any workaround for a fresh install if LinuxMCE in todays market where Intrepid is not so hot anymore ?

Installation issues / AC3 working fine with mplayer - no sound from linuxmce(xine) on nvidia CK804

« on: September 15, 2007, 03:47:22 pm »

After a lot of tries I have mange to get working AC3 out on my TOS link (optical SPDIF) with mplayer.

The command used for player is:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0,2 -ac hwac3 dvd:// (my optical output is device 2 on card 0)

LinuxMCE (MD) is silent when playing video. playing mp3 (from media->audio) works.

By changing my asound.conf file to this :

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
        device 2
}

ctl.!default {
      type hw
      card 0
      device 2
}

Even aplay uses the optical output.

Running the avwizard, I can hear the regular stereo signal, but fail to hear DTS or AC3 sounds (and answer no to those questions)

I am unable to change the volum, but that is ok - I can easily change volum on my amp.

How can I configure xine on the MD to use the  alsa:hw2 port in passthrough mode ?

I have noticed that linuxMC overwrites my asound.conf file. How can I prevent this once I've got a working on ?

Installation issues / MD install fail when trying to register/connect to the core

« on: September 03, 2007, 11:15:56 pm »

I have recently installed a Core on my server (kubutnu + mce images). The installation was simple, as long as I didn't stray away from the default setup (why do you provide an option to change the hostname of the core, when you ignore my setting ?). The setup completed ok (according to the final dialog box), but not all packages was installed. So far I had to manually install the mythweb package.

Is there any way to verify that all needed packages are installed ?

I then continued to install my first MD (with kubuntu install + mce install pkg). The MCE install program detected that I had a running core, and it tried to create the device on the core. This operation never finished.

Then I disabled the harddrive, and performed a netboot on my MD machine. The boot process found the core, loaded the kernel, and tried to announce itselves to the core. Then nothing happened, and the MD machine stopped booting.

Is my NewMDinteractor service broken ?

Please advice
