Developers / Exporting Device Templates - ignoring sqlCVS for the moment
« on: September 24, 2008, 01:21:52 pm »
Hi,

usually, the course of action with LinuxMCE is, to utilize sqlCVS to commit a new device template for anyone to use it. Unfortunately, anonymous commits to sqlCVS have caused myself problems in the past. I had a need to export created device templates, to import those devices into a new LinuxMCE installation.

I created a small script called DeviceTemplate2php. This script can be called from a html page, and creates a new php file called device####.php, where #### is replaced with the original device template ID.

The small script is located at http://possy.de/DeviceTemplate2php.tar.gz and should be stored on the LinuxMCE core in /var/www/ under the name DeviceTemplate2php.php. Now you can execute the file from your browser by using the url
http://dcerouter/DeviceTemplate2php.php?DeviceTemplateID=1933
in case you want to export your device template 1933.

Please try it out, and let me know any problems you might experience.

Hello,

I am trying to control various AV equipment via RS-232. Using TestSerialPort works just fine with the following command:
Code: [Select]
/usr/pluto/bin/TestSerialPort -p /dev/ttyS0 -P N81 -t "SB\r" -s "SB" -i 3 -b 9600 && echo Success

Returns "Success" and turns the receiver off. How ever, creating a new AV device and filling in the code for OFF
Code: [Select]
<$"SB\r"$>does not work, i get no result on the receiver and the receiver stays on when I press TEST on the codes screen.

Browsing thru the web administration I found the status of this device to be **RUN_GET_IR**. Does this have anything to do with my problem?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated in the quest to fix this problem.

Thanks

Hello,

during the setup wizard I want to select a receiver which is being controlled via IR. It is not in the list, so I select "Model isn't on the list". However, nothing happens. I type a new name, click on "Model isn't on the list". Still nothing happens.

Where am I doing something wrong?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am trying to learn the codes of a new remote via USB UIRT. But no codes are being received.

Is the USB-UIRT learning functionality working in 0710b3? If yes, any hint what I might do wrong (crystal ball anyone)?

Thanks

Installation issues / VDR and n800 - No control
« on: February 07, 2008, 08:39:28 pm »
Hello,

I am trying to utilize an Nokia n800 as a remote for LMCE. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work within the VDR part of LMCE. I see a remote, but NONE of the keys on the display of the n800 work. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Installation issues / Receiver via WinTV-PVR USB2 plus DVB-C
« on: February 04, 2008, 09:21:34 pm »
Good day,

anyone wants to shed some light on this: I want to utilize the WinTV USB2 box to feed my external receiver into the LinuxMCE box. Is this done via the TV part of LinuxMCE, i.e. MythTV or VDR, or using a different programm?

Second, I want to use a DVB-T supported by VDR concurrently with the above.

Is this going to cause a problem? I am in the middle of reloading Beta3 and can't access the cable network right now to test, so any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Oliver

Users / VDR in 0710b3 - No key is working (except some function keys)
« on: January 25, 2008, 12:48:16 am »
Hello,

I finally had a chance to add one of my DVB-S cards to my LMCE setup. Channels.conf created, and I am able to watch TV. Good.

But, how do I do things like switching channels? Going into recording mode?

I am currently using UI1 ie. the most basic setup.

I do not use a regular remote control right now, but just a regular keyboard.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Developers / Popularity of 0710b3
« on: January 24, 2008, 10:47:50 am »
It seems the third beta of 0710 is hugely popular. I've just been notified by hosting company that more than 1000GB of data has been transfered from my server.

The bittorrent transfer for the CD was 400GB, the DVD had a total of 900GB. Seems they are a little bit lax on enforcing the 1TB limit.

Anyhow, I found this quite interesting.

Thanks to all the people involved in the release of the 0710b3. It seems there are quite a few people using YOUR work.

Developers / VDR integration - How to add plugins
« on: January 18, 2008, 05:32:05 pm »
Hello (Andrew),

I like the VDR integration. Looks way more integrated than the MythTV. Do you have a small how-to, on which packages needed to be rebuild if one wants to extent VDR with additional plugins?

Thanks and have a good weekend.

Users / S/PDIF IN
« on: January 09, 2008, 03:15:20 pm »
Hello,

does S/PDIF in (or spdif in for the search engine ;))  work?

I will have a cable receiver that supports S/PDIF coax out. And the core will have an S/PDIF in. Now, I want to input the output of the receiver into the core and transfer the sound through out the system. The video will go into the PVR USB2, but I really would want to have the 5.1 sound also available.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Users / RS-232 Interfaces - What do you use?
« on: January 08, 2008, 10:41:03 pm »
Hello,

I am investigating the best way to control external devices. Lets assume most of them are controlled via RS-232 and there is always a MD or Core/Hybrid nearby.

Do you use PCIe RS-232 cards with couple of ports, like the EX-44092 (2-port) or EX-44094 (4-port), or are you mainly using a GC-100?

The living room will just have the sound processor and the display, both in reach by RS-232 cable. I will take the PCIe card, but would like to hear other thoughts.

Hello,

I need to control a Meridian Soundprocessor. I found the RS-232 codes, (http://www.meridian-audio.com/lib_apps.htm), but wondered, if anyone has created a PNP script for this device?

Users / Alarm Clock
« on: December 29, 2007, 11:26:11 am »
Good day,

to get to know events better, I would like to setup LMCE as my alarm clock. LMCE should play a specific media file at a special time each day.

Anyone has a detailed step by step instruction? I know, i have to setup an event for this, but I can't get the hang of the additional parameters to play a file onto a MD.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
