Hi all,
I've set up  a sipgate voip account thro' wizard in web admin, and checked the settings against the wiki.

Can call out from direct dial, but cannot dial in , or rather there's no indication a call is coming in.
Have opened udp5060-5080 in firewall, enabled  the soft phones in freepbx, without success.

Freepbx is showing following errors

1-COULD NOT RELOAD FOP SERVER

Could not reload the FOP operator panel server using the bounce_op.sh script. Configuration changes may not be reflected in the panel display.

Hi all,
sorry for noob question, but is it ok to have eth0 as a static ip address ?

tia,
Ian

is it a world cup final ?

EDIT  is it my stupid post ?
is everybodies system so good and their knowledge so great they no longer post ? or has my connection gone down again ?

Hi all,
after dicking around trying to establish which usb port a device used (as in ttyUSB rather than pci0000/00:000:10:2+1 for example), to try and create  a
template,I've managed to screw something up.
I followed  wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Serial_Hack, and get the following,


linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ tree -fi /dev | grep ttyUSB
/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB1
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ tree -fi /dev | grep ttyS
/dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS3
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$


I actually have 6 usb (4 used) and 1 serial port(unused), so that's obviously problem 1, more important is that now every template shows "no serial port detected"

can anyone tell me /hint
           a-what's happening?
           b- how to return to  previous  state?
           c- how to find out ttyusb ? used by  a piece of equipment ?

thanks in advance,
Ian
         

Hi all,
apologies in advance, as I'm sure I've missed a check box somewhere,but I'm b**ered if I can find an  answer on wiki/forums.

Ive setup  a single usb webcam , under motion as detailed in wiki,: have ticked camera in admin >security> view cameras, and  scenario is on  menubar,
BUT i'm only seeing the one frame , generated yesterday..
[for a short while (during a screen freeze on the hybrid) I was getting updated frames on an md.- but that no longer happens.]
I suspect there are some parameters to be set in motion template,but am reluctant to bork things up further.
Any clues, mystic spells, arcane rituals involving  young women, or advice would be  welcome 

TIA
Ian

Hi all,
ref  www.dusky-control.com
I've been playing with this for some time from the cli,and would really like to be able to use it in LMCE,

I know that TotallyMaxed and his team have done some work in this area , so the question is , does anyone have a working template/gsd that I could beg,  borrow, steal, or..... (takes deep breath)   buy ?

Before I get slapped, I know  ideally I should do this myself but having looked into it previously, I 've realised how limited my abilities are !!

regards,

Ian

Hi all,
apologies in advance, but I can't get my head around this:

embedded tuners, of reciever  ( AM ota radio  /FM ota radio) ,  and TV  (Live TV ) worked fine: returning to UI,
then  pressing OFF turns  off the amp/TV   ..... leaving me either deaf or blind         

SO :- no big problem,I altered both A/V properties pages  i.e  deleted "off" codes and substituted them : eg: tv,  instead of "off", used  "input 7"   ...  and all works ok .

BUT what's going to happen when I eventually enter  the dark arts  of  scenarios,? - I'm  thinking in terms of "putting the house  to sleep"-
obviously , it aint gonna happen !

can someone please give me a slap and point out  what  must be obvious to everybody except me,

Hi all,
        calling any electronics people,

I have a Cambridge Audio 540R v2 which I'm wanting to control via serial port on pc, using LinuxMCE.
Acording to CA's tech support the rs232c port on the receiver is for software updates only (540R v3 does support), and having tried that option (they originally told me it was posible)...Dead end ? ...no ..the receiver has a Custom Install Bus which appears to be a normal rca audio connector.

The manual states............


"The 540R V2.0 features a Control Bus input that allows un-modulated
remote control commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received
electrically by the unit. These control commands are typically generated
by custom installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR receiver
systems. The Control Bus socket is colour-coded orange.
This unit features 'direct' IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for
many of their features to simplify programming custom installation
systems. Special direct On/Off commands can be accessed on the
supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as follows:
1. Press and hold the Standby/On button on the remote control. The
remote first generates it's standby (toggle) command. Keep the
button held down, after 12 seconds an AV receiver "On" command
will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12
seconds, an AV receiver "Off" command is generated.
Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and
Tuner AM/FM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner AM/FM
button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to
a specific band."

and also

CONTOL BUS INPUT

"Opto isolated, TTL positive logic,
Unmodulated"


I've googled like hell all day , and from what I can gather , this should  be possible,but all the references
are either way over my head,/too vague to be of any use/ or are involved with both sending and receiving thro micro controllers/usb


So, my questions,
1) would it really be an rca phono plug?
2)if so would it be possible to directly connect via com port on pc,and if so which pins ?
3) any potential problems?



any help / clues on where to start greatly appreciated,
tia

ps..please...KISIS...keep it simple, I'M stupid.

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a device template for a CambridgeAudio 540R  receiver, with rs232.The tech dept assures me that the protocol is applicable to V2/V3 and 340  variants (mine is v2)

http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/assets/documents/AP227921Azur540RV3SerialControlProtocolV1.pdf

So, I've created the template, included volume and input change commands (just to test for now), updated connection wizard,reloaded router  (at each stage) and  ......nothing  ,   except the receiver is clicking when i hit remote keys.

It's connected via  pl2303 usb/serial converter plus the serial cable I've been successfully using on the TV, and the  usb connection is showing up in the template,  (pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1+1  )


The examples given  in the manual follow this format:

                              #2,01,02\r


which I've entered into the template as,

                              <$"#2,01,02\r"$>


and , as I said, the only result is a faint clicking when using the remote.ANY help/pointers would be greatly appreciated,

thanks in advance,

Ian

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some unexpected behaviour in vdr , I'm using ms remote and receiver,
                     -schedules from orbiter takes me to channels/recordings/setup etc screen ..on 1st use after boot, but on subsequent use defaults to recordings, so can't channell select by remote,
                     -mute flashes  subtitles options
                     -green displays orbiter,as does start/logo button
                     -yellow displays lighting/volume  "rose" control
                     -blue = nil
                     -live tv , guide (takes to present channel  listing), recorded tv, all ok
                     -numbers ok

What I'm asking is  1/- is this normal at present , or do I have a problem ? (besides being thick !  )
                          2/-is there a way to get to the channels "rose" by using remote,or is F6  the only way ?
                          3/-are the osd's not yet transparent as they are in vanilla VDR?
thanks in advance

Hi everybody,
  I'm wanting to get away from IR control of my Sky box, as eventually i'll be adding my second sky box into the system, and want to avoid  controlling  both boxes with one command, (and keep the blaster capability in hand for future expansion) . To do this  i'll be using a sky controller box which passes  signals to the RF2 port on the stb ,    http://www.dusky-control.com/        (the usb version). which is described as "a standard RS232 DCE unit,"
the unit shows up as , usb bus001 device004   6666:f100,  and info from website is
    * Baud rate: 57600
    * Bits: 8
    * Flow control: none
    * Stop bits: 1
SO, I've  added a new gsd.......and then  I'm stumped (not hard I know )/uncertain in creating new device template,adding parameters  etc,  (eg.  how do i even tell  lmce that  the device is on usb 001 device 4 ?)

Any pointers to a simple starting point,relevant info ,or outright handholding (i know better than anyone how thick i am ! ) would be greatly appreciated: or will it be a three year study course at mit ?
Many thanks in advance,
Ian

Hi everyone,

I've just done a clean install of 0710 beta 4, as I've just got a new tv :Sharp Aquos LC46X20E,(with 8 inputs) which sarah is picking up as LCxxD6U, with only 5 inputs.She then gives me 5 minutes to complete the wizard and redetects the TV, throwing me back into the wizard , with seemingly endless router restarts.,and then repeats the detection ad infinitum.

The only device template I can see is #267(?..didn't have time to take note before she redetected)

Has anyone a work around for this ,or is the only option to have sarah "ignore it every time -Don't ask" and build a template from scratch ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Ian
           

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get sky to play thro' LMCE, with limited success.
DVB-T is fine thro vdr on nova-t 500,(thanks Totallymaxed)  and sky is playing via  Orbiter (Media)-(mce-usb2) on the 150 s-vid input ,but I'm having to change channells via sky remote, SO

          1,- can this setup be integrated into vdr ? ...I've seen reference to a sky plugin but google /search has not been my friend ;(
          2,-windows mce remote....both pronto codesets in (Wizard-devices -av eqpt - av properties) have zero effect on either of the  sky boxes i have available : how can I import different code sets / get the blaster to learn the codes ? - nothing currently happens when the " learn code " dialogue box is used
               ......would this ....  http://www.dusky-control.com   be a better approach, given that ultimately I want to run 2 sky boxes (and will inevitably run into problems with ir control as both sky boxes will respond to output of blasters ) ?
Any pointers /directions /handholding would be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance , Ian

following instructions on wiki  (totallymaxed?)  to set up vdr with  NovaT500 but
      1... can't find ini files for  terrestrial  (belmont  Emley Moor  Sheffield)........or how to create?
      2..."invalid command message" on sudo /etc/ini.d/vdr stop

any help would be appreciated,as would any pointers to controlling sky boxes thro'  rs232  (next little project)
