Hey golgoj4,

Left it running last night and it worked  Thanks!

I am a bit confused as to what changed though as the update/upgrade didn't actually change anything (0 installed, 0 upgraded, 0 removed)...

I must have updated it a few days before and forgot about it?


Anyway - thanks again. Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,
WR

Could I suggest picking up a phone, wombiroller? I know it's long distance, but surely a quick phone call to sort out this apparent email problem is preferable to this?

Anyway, I will mind my own business now.

Fair point, though all I wanted was the license to be cancelled and a refund - it was at that point all me emails seemed to go missing, so I figured I was just been ignored. Anyway - we probably don't need to continue this publicly - I have said my piece..

Andrew - I replied to your email (same address as before). If you didn't get it (and I am not in your spam list) please let me know.

you are wanting to set separate login credentials from the ones already required to log in to web admin?

I think (could be wrong) it is for setting passwords to other pages... like mythweb. Or at least that is why i use it.

No problem.

I am referring to remote access via HTTPS/SSL. Before it was included in LMCE you had to set your own password, but now that it is included no password is required.

Hey Purps,

Not sure about the offically preferred way - but you can add a .htaccess, or what apparently is more preferred (and worked a charm for me) is this:
Authentication, Authorization and Access Control:

Hello All,
Disclaimer: I should disclose that I am a little annoyed at Dianemo. They have stopped responding to my emails (15 days without ANY response to 4 emails, and 24 days with no response to a specific request).. I wonder how quickly that will change with this post?. That said, I don't mean to rant (well maybe a little), and I figure some of this info may be useful to others.

Hi wombiroller - we have not responded to any emails because we have not received any from you for 26 days. Prior to that we tried numerous times to Remote Access your system but each time it was not accessible.

Bit hard to swallow Andrew. Unless you have added me to your gmail spam list - I have been responding to the same message thread in gmail and you have responded to that in the past.  You responded to one on the 13th Sep (15 days ago which shows you have been getting my emails in the last 26 days) that didn’t address my request. I responded to that 4 times since... with no response.

You did promise someone would remote access in, though again – after several days after I would query why nothing had changed and you would tell me that someone had ‘tried’ but couldn’t get access. Nobody ever told me when they were trying to get access and it failed so I could take a look -  it was always me chasing up and being given what I perceived to be excuses.  The only time the box was ever off air was when the licence failed because I was not issued a permanent one.
I’ll forward the email thread for the 5th time, or happy to post the whole thing if you’d prefer.

Why did I buy Dianemo?
Basically I have had problems with MythTV crashes in the past, and thought I would try and take some of the hassle out of LMCE and try out the Dianemo solution - which as I understood it had a newer version of Myth, and was less buggy.

What I was not aware of is that, while the Dianemo solution claims to be more stable, it has had a bunch of things cut out of the standard LMCE distro that I was not aware of (and that were not disclosed). After highlighting these - I was told they could be 'configured for me' but as you can see from the below - a bunch of them never worked... Including MythTV frontend which was a showstopper.

Things that didn't work out of the box but we got to work eventually

   
•   Squeezebox server (was not installed on initial install)
•   Mouse pointers - not visible in UI2 (for gyration/mouse navigation on UI2)
•   Temporary License keys incorrect - re issued
•   Permanent License key never issued - box stopped working for a few days
•   Mythweb

Things that never worked (after almost 1 month of requests for support. There was lots of communication to begin - though no progress - but it fell right off in the end)

   
•   Watching TV (MythTV) via an MD (or hybrid). Backend works (playing TV from the Ubuntu desktop works fine), but the front end crashes after about 20 seconds

Re above
This MythTV issue has been fixed for several weeks. Clearly updates were not applied.

Clearly, if you read the emails I sent, (that included log files and outputs from the update) I had updated it. It may have worked for others, but there was something clearly broken.

uPnP has always worked.
Gyration support and Fiire remote support has been available as an Update since the 2 Sept.
Adding Samba/NAS shares is working.

Again – they may be for you, but they never did for me. I have detailed information in my emails. I have had enough experience with LMCE to know how to do basic config, updates – but all I ever got in response was it 'should' work...

TheMovieDB is supported but the URL referenced above is incorrect. The correct URL is; http://192.168.80.1/pluto-admin/moviedb/

Actually I tried this as well, once the error in URL was communicated (as I outlined in my emails). That didn’t work for me either... not found.
 

•   EEEbox b202 (When I paid for my copy, this was advertised to work - though I was later advised it is no longer supported and it has been removed from the Dianemo thread)
Lack of support for Intel GPU's is clearly stated in the Dianemo S10.10 docs here on the Forum. However experimental support for Intel GPU's was reinstated on 24 Aug in an AVwizard update.

It is clearly stated now – it was the opposite when I purchased my copy. You confirmed this in an email. I couldn’t get it to boot at all with Dianemo, UI1 is working fine in 0810

Configuration and setup of Dianemo does not require us to remotely login but we do offer that to assist new users if required (as we have to you numerous times... but for the most part your system has repeatedly not been accessible unfortunately)

Again – this is patently untrue. Granted the time difference between Aus and the UK makes it difficult, but the box was never offline (with the exception of when the licence failed) and this was only ever used as an excuse after I would ask why nothing had changed several days after someone was supposed to login. No one ever notified me as they tried to connect.

Mouse/Cross Hairs cursor management has been full working since before Dianemo S10.10 was released.
 

Not by default.... “....By default we disable the mouse & cross hairs cursors as none of our users use mice or gyration style control for their MM's...” and as I stated, I couldn't get this to work on an MD - on the hybrid only.

Hopefully I have answered all of the points you have raised above. As you can see I think in all or almost cases your impression of functionality that is not working is somewhat out of date or incorrect. If you apply the updates that are currently available then there is no reason to not have a fully functional and working system. As ever if you need assistance to get your system operating how you require then we are willing to assist you using Remote Assistance or help you learn how to make the changes you are attempting yourself. However to allow us to do either of these your system must be powered up and accessible and you must be willing to be available to test the changes we make or benefit from any guidance we can provide too you.

Again – not out of date or incorrect – they just didn’t work. Anyway, as I have outlined in several emails, I no longer have Dianemo installed. I went through this for a month and don’t have the time or inclination to repeat the experience.

All I ask is you respond to my email request... Which I have resent for the 5th time.

Thanks,
WR

• Watching TV (MythTV) via an MD (or hybrid). Backend works (playing TV from the Ubuntu desktop works fine), but the front end crashes after about 20 seconds
• uPNP (asked for this to be enabled. never was)
• Gyration 3101 never worked. Apparently this is unsupported. I was advised that they should be able to get this working but it was never fixed (again, repeated requests made)
• NAS fileshare access (after manually detecting file shares, neither LMCE file structure or 'just make the content public' worked
• Media tagging (via amazon / imdb). This is flat broken in Dianemo. TVDB also not there of course
• Media tagging (via the advertised update http://192.168.80.1/mediadb). URL never worked (not found)
• Denon 4306 AMP. Not detected
• EEEbox b202 (When I paid for my copy, this was advertised to work - though I was later advised it is no longer supported and it has been removed from the Dianemo thread)

Other considerations

• Auto-detect is turned off for most things. This is apparently to improve stability, but does mean more manual configuration is required... Assuming you know how, which you probably don't - so you'll have to wait for Dianemo to remote access in
• Mouse/Cross Hairs cursor must be enabled via config changes - turned off by default. I never got this to work on the MD - on the hybrid only

There was a bunch of other stuff I never tried (USBUIRT, zwave etc) because I never got it to a point where I could use it.

I should also mention that I am currently running the LMCE 0810 Final (not Dianemo) and it has resolved _all_ of the problems listed above... Including MythTV which seems much more stable than I remember from the Beta!  

I think that covers most of it. Andrew has always been very helpful on the forums, but my experience with Dianemo was pretty terrible all said. Curious if anyone else has had issue like this?

Cheers
WR.

Thx golgoj4!

Yeah pretty sure it stops. I did a top and watched it stop after around 3.5 min. Left it for half and hour anway (before ctrl - C) and nothing happened. I'll test again tonight though to make 100% sure.

Hey golgoj4,

I know you are flat out with other things - so am hesitant to interrupt, but thought I might ask if you know what might be going on.

I can run this on my movie collection (dcerouter:~/autotagger$ sudo ./linuxmceTag.bin /directory/location )... but if I try on a large amount of media - it keeps hanging due to what seems like corrupt jpegs. E.g.

Code: [Select]

Done! New AttributeID = 28419|| Now for file...Done! New AttributeID = 28420|| Now for file...Done! New AttributeID = 28421|| Now for file...Done! New AttributeID = 28422|| Now for file...Done! New AttributeID = 28423|| Now for file...Getting Pic for file

Code: [Select]

Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
 QUrl( "http://cf1.imgobject.com/backdrops/4bc/4bc90714017a3c57fe0024bc/miller-s-crossing-original.jpg" )
 QUrl( "http://cf1.imgobject.com/posters/dbc/4bc92c4b017a3c57fe011dbc/bad-santa-original.jpg" )
Is there any way to force the script to continue? The failures seem to be a bit random. An image it failed on in the past - it will breeze through the next time. Files prior to this point get tagged correctly (assuming the name is found in IMDB).

Can anyone else duplicate this on a largish media collection?

Thanks!
WR.

p.s - not sure if it supposed to work but the "Auto Tag" button in media file sync doesn't do anything for me.

I have been curious for years. What is a wombi, and why would you roll it?

haha...Wombi for Wombat, Roller for Steamroller... I needed a handle for a Red Alert account about a thousand years ago and that was the best I could come up with. Kinda stuck

« on: December 22, 2010, 10:36:35 pm »

Hi Los93sol

The install partially works on my HTC Desire HD. After the initial install and going through the setup, it created the orbiter and generated the orbiter screens with the phone showing the progress.

It then came up with the orbiter and all was looking good, except that my taps on the screen don't match up with the buttons. When I tap buttons on the bottom row (eg Power) it thinks I'm pressing buttons on the seurity row for my cameras. Taps on the camera buttons then call the dial buttons.

For the initial setup, I set the skin to "Basic" and the UI to "Normal Horizontal (16:9)". When I looked at the orbiter in the web admin, the size(PK_Size) is empty, the ScreenWidth is 800 and the Screen Height is 600. The device has a 800x480 screen. The default room and description that was set in the setup wizard also didn't get populated in the orbiter that was created.

I tried manually changing some settings. I tried various combinations of either the 4:3 or 16:9 Normal Horizontal UI's and different screen sizes(by both the PK_Size and the ScreenHeight and ScreenWidth settings), but I couldn't get anything to fix the buttons being off. If I set the screen size to anything that has a dimension larger than the phones screen, I wouldn't get anything, just a blank screen. I've also tried re-doing the setup wizard to create new devices and using different settings, but I always end up with the same result of the buttons not matching.

It looks great though, and even though it isn't hitting the right buttons, it responds quick.

Thanks

same problem here on the HTC N1 (Froyo)...

Same problem here. USB to RS232 adapter stuck in the pnp loop. Generic USB to RS232 dongle #1811. Denon 2307 no longer gets detected as a result. I thought my cable might have been dodgy, but maybe not.

I can't remember exactly when this happened, but it was several weeks ago. If I had to guess I'd say maybe the Update 2010-09-16 23289 .

Sorry - I guess I should have reported it immediately, but I couldn't do any isolation testing... Should we submit a bug?
