Users / 0810 beta - Changing password of user > 1 in Webfrontend not possible !?

« on: November 24, 2009, 11:07:18 am »

Hi,

I am trying to give the users 2 and 3 a new password in the Web Frontend. Bit it allways tells me that "Your password does not match".
The password is the same as the user. I created the users with the first letter big. Like in: Admin

For user 1 I could change the password without problems ...

Any ideas ?

Users / MythTV job #1 SaveMythRecording.sh is missing some quotes ...

« on: November 19, 2009, 02:46:22 pm »

Hi,

using latest 0810 beta I found out this.

The MythTV job #1 "SaveMythRecording.sh" is missing some quotes around "%DIR%".

For more see :
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/436#comment:2

You can fix it in the mythweb http://192.168.80.1/mythweb/settings/mythtv
then select "- All Hosts -" and look for "UserJob1"

should the read like this :

Code: [Select]

/usr/pluto/bin/SaveMythRecording.sh %CHANID% %STARTTIME% "%DIR%" "%FILE%"
The only difference is the quotes.


Unfortunatly DCE router now crashes on me again when recordings are added to the video list after finishing in MythTV
See here :

Users / How to get the DVB devices keep the same numbers ? UDEV?

« on: November 19, 2009, 12:27:54 pm »

Hi,

I have not seen or found anything for getting the DVB devices below /dev/dvb to keep the same numbers after reboot.

I have got 4 different cards/USB devices and they keep changing numbers
Current I have found a script that I am using , but it should somehow be possible using UDEV to get them "sticky"

Anyone having better knowledge than I about UDEV ?


Here is the script that I am using, after that I configure MythTV to use adaptor6 to 9.

/usr/pluto/bin/create_dvb_links.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

# Install dvb-utils :
# apt-get install dvb-utils
# And copy to /usr/pluto/bin
# And add /usr/pluto/bin/create_dvb_links.sh to /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend

#
# This script will make links in /dev/dvb/adaptorN such that
# /dev/dvb/adaptor6 == Opera DVB-S
# /dev/dvb/adaptor7 == KNC ONE DVB-C
# /dev/dvb/adaptor8 == TT S2-3200
# /dev/dvb/adaptor9 == TT AV7110 1 DVB-S

AV7110_1_MAC="00:d0:5c:00:c6:d2"
TT3200_MAC="00:d0:5c:64:a3:48"
KNCONE_DVB_C_MAC="00:09:d6:6d:6d:fe"
OPERA_USB_MAC="00:e0:4f:00:11:d5"

# remove old links
i=0
while [ $i -le 9 ]; do
    dev="/dev/dvb/adapter"$i
    if [ -L $dev ] ; then
        rm -f $dev
    fi
    let i=i+1
done


# sort out cards

i=0
while [ $i -le 5 ]; do
    dev="/dev/dvb/adapter"$i
    if [ -d $dev ] ; then
        dvbnet -a $i -p 1 > /dev/null 2>&1
        if `ifconfig -a | grep dvb | grep -q $OPERA_USB_MAC` ; then
            ln -s $dev /dev/dvb/adapter6
        fi
        if `ifconfig -a | grep dvb | grep -q $KNCONE_DVB_C_MAC` ; then
            ln -s $dev /dev/dvb/adapter7
        fi
        if `ifconfig -a | grep dvb | grep -q $TT3200_MAC` ; then
            ln -s $dev /dev/dvb/adapter8
        fi
        if `ifconfig -a | grep dvb | grep -q $AV7110_1_MAC` ; then
            ln -s $dev /dev/dvb/adapter9
        fi
        dvbnet -a $i -d 0 > /dev/null 2>&1
    fi
    let i=i+1
done

Users / 0810 Beta install does not install the Nvidia drivers ...

« on: November 18, 2009, 01:30:56 pm »

Hi,

I am trying to reinstall my Core and a it seems that the Nvidia drivers are not installed.
A previous install on my test system had the same problem. I could then install them afterwards.

This time I installed them (version 180) before using the Hardware assistant and ended up with a screen where I can't see the whole UI screen. Meaning the video is shown and the buttons I need to press are outside of the screen. That is really not nice. Selected 1024x768 and UI2.

Before that the install failed at creating the MD image - maybe that had to do with the eth0 and 1 had changed place duricng installation !?
So I might just try the third time now

hmm, maybe i'll try rebooting, holding shift and the lower down to 640x480 and see what happens.
Any comments on that ?

Users / What current European Recievers are controllable with LinuxMCE ?

« on: November 18, 2009, 12:41:37 pm »

Hi,

my current Reciever is as far as I can tell "giving up on me".
Therefore I am looking for a new one that can be controlled by LinuxMCE - either by RS-232, network or whatever. Pricing should be around 500€ (or less).

It should have 7.1 (only will need 5.1 now) and possibly decode the new Bluray HD audio fomats.


Attached to it right now is only one MD with optivcal out. Plans are getting an Acer Revo (or ASUS eeebox) with HDMI out later.

The Yamaha RX-VXX00 were recommended here http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6699.0
But thats a year ago and maybe things have changed. And they either don't decode DTS HD and the other formats or don't fit in the pricing scheme (500€).

Users / Start_NewMD_interactor.sh takes a lot of CPU

« on: November 13, 2009, 04:38:08 pm »

Hi,

I have noticed that on my system /usr/pluto/bin/Start_NewMD_interactor.sh takes a lot of CPU.

It starts "/usr/pluto/bin/interactor-server" ( whatever it does) in a loop. And it seems that if it already for some reason is running, then interactor-server says that the port is already used and exits. That creates a lot of starts and take quite some CPU.

Something like this might be better :

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

while :; do
        killall /usr/pluto/bin/interactor-server 2>/dev/null
        sleep 1
        /usr/pluto/bin/interactor-server
done

Users / Anyone using mythTV 0.22 from Avenard repository ?

« on: November 10, 2009, 08:25:28 am »

Hi,

I am installing my testsystem all over and have noticed that Avenard now has moved on to MythTV 0.22 (development version). There is still one 0.21 version there that one could use.

Has anyone tried 0.22 together with LinuxMCE ? Does it work ?

Users / [SOLVED] - UpdateMedia mysql queries takes 100% CPU on a core - is that normal ?

« on: November 09, 2009, 04:33:11 pm »

Hi,

on my core server one of the the AMD e5050 (dualcore) cores max out with 100% when the mysql queries for UpdateMedia are running.

Is that normal ?

I am working for a danish company that has got a lot of really good database people - also ones that are specialized on database optimizing. I could try get them to optimize some of the queries if you like ?
If so, could you point me to a place where I can find those queries ? Or just send them to me ?

The /home/public/data directories at the moment only contains the following amount of files - which I dont considder as much.
pvr : 1979

Users / Gyration remote is not working as it should anymore after 0810 beta update

« on: November 04, 2009, 09:49:54 pm »

Hi,

After updating to the latest 0810 beta the remote worked in my updated MD. But now after a couple of days it suddently works strangly. The info key is play/pause and the up key is down. Other keys are not doing anything at all. Those not working keys are also not turning on the light on the USB key in the MD.

Any idea what I can do to get it working again ?

Already tried removing the USB key and adding it again after 10 sec. pause. did not help.
also tried inserting new battaries in the remote and doing above again. did also not help


In an MD that i regenerated and updated with apt-get dist-upgrade it did also not work.

Users / After 0810 alpha to beta update the regenereated MD is still alpha

« on: November 01, 2009, 07:43:01 pm »

Hi,

I updated today my production enviroment to the latest 0810

Worked quit well. Just had the problems that som others also had. That the quote was missing in the fstab and Network manager made MD not boot after dist-upgrade.

But I also tried regenerating my MD using the webinterface and it was then still 0810 alpha. What can I do to get the MD updated. I assume I have to run one of the /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_* scripts. Maybe Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh ?

Users / Linuxmce 0810 alpha - Media Files sync - IMDB imports some signs wrong

« on: October 26, 2009, 12:06:19 pm »

Hi,

I am using 0810 alpha and in my version Amazon is broken. Therefore I use IMDB import for my DVD's. Unfortunately the text is somehow not in the correct format.

I have a DVD Wall-E. When I search for Wall-E and store it, then it is called: Wall·E

I assume it is the Internet notation for special signs that is not translated. The same happens for actors and other text.
Any idea how to fix this ?

Users / What is the "fav." menu entry while using MythTV for _

« on: September 10, 2009, 10:29:43 pm »

Hi,

was wondering what the "fav." entry in the linuxmce overlay - after pressing the Windows button on the remote - is used for ?

In case you dont know what I am talking about. Start mythTV and while watching live tv press the windows key. Now you have different things like Info, Guide and so on. And one of them is "fav."

Users / Can I start one of my own scripts using an orbiter ?

« on: September 03, 2009, 03:18:41 pm »

Hi,

I was thinking about adding some small scripts I would like to start from the orbiter, but did not yet find any way of doing this. It could/should run on the server or on the orbiter. That does not matter.

It could be in the computing list, but  it seems that is for starting things you can "see" and wants to work with. I don't really see how I can add something like I want :
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_new_computing_apps

One thing I would like to test is changing the frequency from 50 to 60hz and back again - to see if that gives me any trouble. See also here why :
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8646


BTW: how can I add additional Web URL's in the computing list ? Did not find anything in the wiki, except the link above.

Users / How to name cover images in Music folders ?

« on: September 03, 2009, 03:08:55 pm »

Hi,

can LinuxMCE import/use images which are placed in the folder of an Album ?

Or do they have to be inserted in every mp3 file ?

At the moment I have front.jpg in every folder, but they are not used. Before importing them all I would like to know if there is a filename that is used.


If not can you recommend a good program for inserting the covers in the MP3's. Don't care if Windows of Linux. Could also be a linux script ...
