Users / ATI Remote Wonder issue and documentation
« on: July 31, 2008, 03:49:07 pm »
Hey all.  I have an ATI Remote Wonder and wanted to document it in the wiki, however I'm not able to get it to work.  I have searched the forum and followed a few old posts and at one point I did get IRW to recognize the remote, just couldn't get the remote to work with the orbiter. 

So does anyone happen to have a step-by-step walk through of how to get this remote to work?  It seems that it should be supported and work rather well but I must be missing something.

Thanks,
@gentSmith

Users / Unable to control volume - Here is what worked for me
« on: July 10, 2008, 05:02:37 pm »
In the spirit of contributing to this awesome project, I thought that I would share a recent achievement.  I searched through the wiki and the forums and could not find the answer for my issue so I hope this information is not redundant.

So far every system that I have built involves me using the analog port on my sound card which I think might be a contributing factor here, but nonetheless when I try to change the volume level, nothing happens.  If I run alsamixer I can see that the master channel is getting changed properly, however it is the headphone channel that is controlling my actual speakers.

So I searched and searched and finally found a way to change them around.

edit the alsa-base config file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory
Code: [Select]
dcerouter_1:~# vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Add the following code to the bottom of the file.
Code: [Select]
options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_onlyReboot (or possibly do a telinit1 and then telinit2 to re-initialize everything)

This makes the Headphone channel become the master channel.

Now everything works perfectly on all my cores and media directors.  Hope this helps :P

Users / DVD Playback Issue - Certain DVDs will not play
« on: July 10, 2008, 04:33:06 pm »
Hello all.  Recently I have run into a problem with certain DVDs that will not play.  Namely, "The Bourne Ultimatum", "King Kong" and "Ratatouille".  I have searched the web, the wiki and the forums and have so far been unable to find a solution so I'm hoping perhaps you guys can help point me in the right direction.  If the answer is out there somewhere and I missed it I apologize.

What is happening is that I was able to rip The Bourne Ultimatum and have .iso images of King Kong and Ratatouille but when I try to play them, the screen just goes dark for a few seconds and then returns to the main menu.  This happens if I try to play directly from the DVD or from the ripped image and is confirmed behavior on a plethora of different hardware (i.e. intel core, amd core, hp nc6000 laptop, dell d610 laptop, etc).  Furthermore I found that if I go out to KDE and play the DVD (either from the DVD drive or from an image) it works fine with no issues, just will not work from within the orbiter.

So far this is what I have done to try and resolve the issue on my own.
- Checked and verified that libdvdcss and w32codecs are installed.
- Tried different video drivers
- Tried different core setups on different hardware
- Verified that the region is set properly on my DVD drive

Here is the log file from Xine (from admin page My Devices > Core > The core/hybrid > On Screen Orbiter > Xine_Player

Again, this is only occurring on these few DVDs/images that I have, the rest of my movies and images are playing without issue.
Anyone had any similar experiences?  Any ideas on how to fix?  I'm all ears :P
