Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to play within linuxmce an ppt or pps file from Impress, beacause i know that you can start Openoffice Impress ( open source powerpoint ) in kiosk mode ( full screen ), does someone has some experience with this or maybe want to help me.

Thnx in advance,

Dave

Hi,

Just a small question, does someone has problems with analog or maybe even with digital tuner cards the problem that when you're switching from one channel to antoher that the mythtv-backend  crashes or even dies? So what i did to test something and maybe someone has an better idea then me, i just killed ( just for testing purposes ) the mythtv-backend proccess, and just in my terminal connected to my laptop ( to see whats happening ) spawned mythbackend ( so not mythtv-backend --> its only a wrapper and ads some logging to /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and a pid number to kill it in my case ) and just what i thought and i really don't why but it rapidly speeds up mythtv and for sure switching channels with my hauppage pvr-500, and the most important thing off all -----> i switched back and forth with my channels for nearly then minutes and it didn't crashed a single time.

Hope that someone also found this and can tell us more about it ( maybe some scripting )

Happy to share stuff

Hi Andrew,

I reported all the issues on mantis. Can you tell the guys to hold the dutch language file for release, i have to make a few adjustments, i will reported the final translation on mantis alright. If i can do more just tell me, and what is the main main difference between vdr as tv application and mythtv, and maybe its better for mythtv to make an skin that corrosp[onds with the colors of linuxMCE --> skin --> UI2 and just show the tv applictation.

Hi,

I can tell you guys, that i managed to install the beta2 ( 0710 ) form an external harddrive by following some tutorials ( iso from usb hdd ) ( I will post this later on, because its a bit tricky to do ), already i can confirm that there is no climate menu in my ui2, my buttons on my Fire-Chief remote arent't working in mythtv like they did in the 0704 version, i can confirm that the screensaver with my own pictures now is working very well, not instantly when i selected from the admin website my pictures from Media, Screensaver, then select some pictures of you're own and i thought voila, but NOT, i had to reboot and i had the pictures i selected ( I will report all my findings on Mantis btw )

I was suprised to see via phpmyadmin, which i had to install manually still, that the mythconverg database of Mythtv has 74 tables in it now and not 46 like in the 0704 version, so what si the difference?

Iso video files still aren't played by linuxMCE, i see them in my ui2 as afilename, but it doesn't play them when i select one, it comes with a black screen and then comes back to the ui2, even when i say in the Admin site that it is a linuMCE video file, bu no luck.

One other problem right now is that in mythtv my sound via spdiff coaxial is going on off on off on off, this wasn't in the 0704 version, a bit annoying !

In the advanced,power menu when i choose halt m/d the machine reboots instead off powering off, this is different then in the 0704 version

And i can report that my dutch language files i made in the 0704 version work great when i imported them in phpmyadmin, and then i regenerated my onscreen orbiter and it works great.

If someone wants to know something about my findings feel free to ask, and for the developers keep up the good work.

Hi,

This is what i found to use the iso on an external usb hdd or stick, maybe you can give it a try, and send me you're results.

Hi,

Andrew i want to test but see my previous post, can i upgrade or install linuxmce 7.10 beta2 on another way than burning this iso to a dual layer dvd i don't own.


Dave

Hi,


Maybe a stupid question, but i don't own a dual layer burner yet so i can't get it to work with dual layer capabilities, but i can mount it to /dev/dvd.

My question is how can i upgrade?

Dave

Hi,

I made an mini howto on http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=3698

I'm nearly done with the translation from english to dutch, i'm sure this mini howto works for you guys for the french language.

Au revoir,

Dave

Hagen,

Hi,

Is there a way or maybe in the near future that we can change the font size of the gui, this because i'm using it on my crt television and it is not really readable when i for example are scrolling throught my music collection of 350 gb.

I hiope to hear from someone,

Dave

Thanx a lot in advance,

Dave
