Users / Re: Cisco 7970 - missing term70.default.loads file?

« on: February 01, 2010, 11:13:11 am »

Luke, thank you.
Seems harder to get than I'd expected.

I still have my 0710 system around, did a locate cisco without result.
Tried mounting my 0710 DVD images and searched to no avail.

Sorry to bother you like this, would you have any more detail as to where/how I could retrieve this file?
Does the 7.0.2 part of the filename stand for LMCE ver 0702?

Thanks a lot,

Erwin

Luke, thanks for replying;
I have a 2nd 7970 that is functioning. Is there a way to copy the firmware from the working one to LMCE?

I'll have a look at my 0710 tomorrow and see if those files are there?

A pitty this would have changed from 0710 to 0810, as I have no support contract. Perhaps some legal reason?

Thanks!

Michael,

Thx for replying, I was not aware off the #-key;
Will try this out, also changing extension.
I'd like to make this work.

Also be able to have the 'resume from here' function pick up on:
- the previous subtitle choice
- the previous audio track

Let's do it!

Users / Cisco 7970 - missing term70.default.loads file?

« on: January 30, 2010, 07:04:22 pm »

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with a 7970. I bought this phone to extend test purposes, but have never really used it much.
This particular phone has been part off a 0710 installation. As far as I remember there were no specific issues.

As I'm setting up 0810 and expanding, thought I'd reconnect the 7970. It would not trigger a 'new' device detection on the core.
So I did a search on how to hard reset a 7970, found the procedure and followed it through.

I'm not sure what is wrong, did I interrupt the hard-reset procedure too early or what, I don't really know.
I'v tried to delete the phone  a couple of times via lmce-admin page, and have it recreated but to no avail.

Now the phone keeps recycling, and throws a couple of quick errors on the screen after recycling.

Followed through on the 7970 wiki page, and went for tcpdump to try and see what's happening:
It seems the phone tries to load term70.default.loads, but this file is not on the core.

I'm looking for help on this one, I have no experience with cisco, and their docs seems so vast I wouldn't know where to start..

Any pointer as to what specific strings may be entered here?
I'm looking at #92 Subtitles and #93 Audio Tracks.

How would I add command #140 (Audio Track) and make it 'usable' / controllable by the Media Handler / Xine Player?

Thanks for any pointer!

Hi all,

I have an video.mkv file containing multiple audio streams (French, English etc.)
LMCE starts to play the French stream.
When I use VLC to test, (XP) I can choose which audio stream to play.

Is there a way to select the available audio streams in Xine?
Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks for your help!

Jimbo,

Thx for pointing out.
I figured if all was 0.22 I was good. Not so.
Can I just sudo apt-get update myth*? -> No, you moron, you can't!! :-)

Code: [Select]

Sudo apt-get dist upgrade did the thing
Nearly all packages on both Core and MD are at 2:0.22.0-fixes23229-0ubuntu0 now.
MythTV playing on MD now as I  write :-)

Will look into the theme packages.
One thing I noticed though nothing to do with MD -
Myth recordings miss their jpg image in the Orbiters media -> video view...?
Browsing to \\dcerouter\mythweb -> show recorded programs lists those jpg's nicely though...

Any idea?

Thx a lot!

Jimbodude,

I didn't touch the core, only the MD.
Just for information here's the listings. They seem at par. (no 0.23)

I did a google on this error and found quite some mentioning, also track issues. No solution yet.

Thanks for posting!
Great to feel the help!

Guys, thank you all for your input :-)

MythTV issue resolved. Not playing nicely at the mo, Myth issues a

Code: [Select]

Video frame buffering failed too many times message - will search and look into this.

What did I do?
Tried and tested several ways.
At a certain point I realized I had not run the Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh script.
I don't remember ever doing this with earlier installs.

Could someone point me too where this popped-up and why?

Next deleted all MD's, ran the script, adapted /etc/apt/preferences, and built the MD anew.
I added the Myth 0.22 pin to /etc/apt/preferences as suggested.
After first reboot, MD froze.
Copied over kernel relevant files & modules to the MD.
Reboot and all went well.

I'd still like to know how / where to modify the different vmlinuz & initrd.img and /lib/modules/new-kernel-version to have new MD's build properly from the first time?

Thanks a lot!

Klanmce,

Thanks for posting;
Indeed our situation seems similar. I'll give adding another MD a try, but I realize in view of my different kernel, I should modify / prepare the MD image. Looking for more info on how to do that.

Apparently myth is not installed on my MD either.

Users / Taking up Media Director again - Can't execute MythTV_Player

« on: January 22, 2010, 11:33:19 am »

Hi everyone,

Short intro:
It's been quite a while since I have been working / setting up MD's.
In my first 0704 / 0710 install, I had a couple and each of them had a PVR-150 on board. Taking into account that at that time my knowledge (if any) of MythTV was not very impressive, I today stumble over some basic questions, so her goes:

Situation:
Core/Hybrid
0810 beta2 on Asus M3N78-EM
1 Hauppauge HVR-4000
RS232 to Onkyo Receiver

MD
Acer Aspire Revo R3600
no TV card or USB TV device

It should be noted that I have had an extreme 'fight' to get the HVR4000 running first with Myth 021 now with 022.
To get this to work, I had to do extensive testing, during which, admittedly, from time to time some detail on information got lost, or mixed up with 'another trial'.
It's also important to notice that I'm running 2.6.28-11-generic kernel.

So yesterday picked up the R3600 and hooked it up as an MD. At first, after enabling PXE, the MD got stuck after a reboot. Then I realized maybe this had to do with me running a 2.6.28-11 kernel on the core?
I adapted the boot images of my MD, and also copied over the complete relevant modules directory.
I also switched AMD64 to i386 via PlutoAdmin.
After that, the Revo continued booting and seems to work fine...

Next I tried to start TV on the Revo-MD.
This does not work...
At this point I started doubting: does my MD need it's own TV tuner? I don't think so, the front-end of the MD should be able to connect to the back-end on the core, and use the HVR-4000 tuner on the core - if it is available. (Could someone please confirm if I'm correct here?)

Next I had a look at the ##_MythTV_Player.log to find:

Code: [Select]

sambahelper@moon41:/var/log/pluto$ cat 49_MythTV_Player.log
== ATTEMPT FRESH START ==
1       01/21/10 19:36:38       Spawn_Device.sh 49 (spawning-device)    18861 Dev: 49; Already Running list: 42,43,45,
== FRESH START ==
1       01/21/10 19:36:39       Spawn_Device.sh 49 (spawning-device)    device: 49 ip: 192.168.80.1 cmd_line: MythTV_Player
3       01/21/10 19:36:40       Spawn_Device.sh 49 (spawning-device)    Can't execute MythTV_Player

Now I wonder:
- Is this caused by the changed kernel?
- Are there 'known' objections against upgrading the kernel?
- What steps do I have to take to modify the MD image, so that newly created MD's will use the correct kernel and modules?
- What is missing to make MythTV run on this MD?

I realize this is quite a lengthy post, but I feel the information is necessary to understand the situation.

Thanks a lot for all the great work and for your help!

Users / Re: RS232 - route commands from Core to GSD - HOWTO LINK?

« on: January 15, 2010, 05:04:23 pm »

Mandingo, thx for your effort and reply.

I have not used any pnp script.
I have entered 20_OnkyoReceiver.sh in the #71 template, this seems to be a standard script present in /usr/pluto/bin.
I've tried to run it from cli, but it said not an Onkyo if I remember.

I verified RS232 communication in 2 ways:
KDE -> Cutecom
MessageSend to #37 DSG

As stated:

Code: [Select]

When I send a command to #37 like this: /usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend dcerouter 0 37 1 192
the receiver responds correctly. So [color=blue]we know RS232 communication is working[/color].
I've been searching through the wiki, amongst others here:http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/How_to_add_your_own_GSD_device

So what it boils down to:

• 1. AV device was created, and auto-created GSD #37
• 2. GSD #37 is properly linked to /dev/ttyS0
  That we know because I can use MessageSend like:/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend dcerouter 0 37 1 192
• 3.The codes present in LinuxMCE DO work with my receiver (I sent 192, but can send any code)
• 4. It is the link between the Core (DCErouter.log) and GSD that is faulty. (At least I think so, as commands are sent to #1 (core) but aren't routed to #37 (GSD)

Have look at the attached screenshot. I've added some comment & pointer.
I think it must be something 'small & stupid' that I'm overlooking..?

I'll look into your suggestion to create an IR Group, but I know the codes present in device #71 work.

Users / RS232 - route commands from Core to GSD - HOWTO LINK?

« on: January 15, 2010, 01:46:10 pm »

Hi all,

Trying to control my AV Receiver (Onkyo) using RS232. Using a straight through cable.
I have added a device AV Equipment (AVC-A1SRA RS232) (Device #37, Device Template #71, controlled by: CORE)
Automatically I get a Generic Serial Device with the same settings.
I also adjusted Com Port Paritybit/stop to reflect N81
I also adjusted Plug & Play detection script to use 20_OnkyoReceiver.sh but this does not seem to work...

When I send a command to #37 like this: /usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend dcerouter 0 37 1 192
the receiver responds correctly. So we know RS232 communication is working.

When I try to send a command using the test buttons  next to the codes from the AV Equipment, A/V Properties screen,  a popup says the command has been sent to #1 but nothing happens.
In DCErouter.log I find this:

Code: [Select]

My conclusion is that the link to the GSD device is not set up properly.
I see the Core receives the MessageSend, but from 0 Unknown, and it is not rerouted to #37 GSD.

Where did I go wrong here?
What also puzzles me is that in Plutoadmin, switching from the AV Equipment view to
the Generic Serial Devices view, the fields with information about Paritybit/stop and discrete volume seem to be empty, whereas they are not empty, and reappear at other times.
Is it okay for the "This device is controlled via" to show no objects? (see attached screenshot)

I feel I'm very close, but not quite there yet!
Thanks for helping out,
