Installation issues / 810 Doesn't recognize discs

« on: January 08, 2010, 02:28:24 pm »

Just installed 810 and everything seemed to go very smoothly.  My only issue is that it doesn't recognize a disc when I put it in the drive.  When I go to manage drives, I see the rip, play buttons etc, but when I click play it tells me it can't play that type of media.  I also read a post that said to go into the web admin and make sure the media director config specifies that the system has a dvd drive.  It was not checked, so I did that and reloaded.  I then put a disc in again and still nothing.  I again went to manage drives and now there are two sets of rip and play buttons, but neither work.

Users / Backyard movies using av receiver inside with laptop MD outside

« on: March 11, 2009, 02:16:31 pm »

I'm building an outdoor movie setup and need to know if this is possible.  I'd like to make use of my second zone on my inside AV receiver to produce my sound which is wired to my outdoor speakers while using a laptop for my MD outside.  My hopes are to just connect my laptop to an outside ethernet jack.  Is it possible to have the core output sound while the MD just outputs video.

Installation issues / Installing on Kubuntu 8.04

« on: February 12, 2009, 09:16:33 pm »

Is it possible to install in Kubuntu 8.04?  I'm having all kinds of trouble updating the kernel and getting all of my devices recognized again, so I'd like to try 8.04 with MCE on top of that.  I know it uses KDE 3.5 which I'm guessing that's where the dependencies exist between MCE and the Kubuntu.  Is this true?

Users / getxmls just hangs

« on: February 10, 2009, 09:27:09 pm »

At install time I did not have a internet connection therefore my Add Software was blank.  I attempted to run the 'update list' from the admin and it appears to hang.  I then proceeded to try the command line approach 'sudo /usr/pluto/bin/getxmls' and that also hangs.

Installation issues / Ubuntu 8.10 dual boot with LinuxMCE

« on: January 25, 2009, 07:31:50 pm »

I recently built a Ubuntu 8.10 box with Edubuntu for my son.  Is it possible to turn this into a dual boot with LinuxMCE Media Director to pull from my Hybrid?  If so, I currently only have one partition do I need to reinstall to get two partions or can I split the one I have.

Thanks
