Over the weekend I decided to upgrade the internal nic on my core to a 1G intel pro 1000. I edited the rules for eth0 and eth1 so that they pointed to the correct cards, I have my /etc/network/interfaces all set up correctly and when I run ifconfig, everything is setup and ip addresses are as expected. eth0 gets an ip from my service provider and eth1(new intel pro 1000) is set to 192.168.80.1.

My problem is dhcp is no longer working, so none of my MD's boot anymore? Any ideas? Is DHCP tied to the mac address of the nic? And therefore tied to the nic I removed?

thanks for the help,

Kevin

I have no sound when playing audio or video through Linuxmce. When I play music throuh xine from KDE everything works just fine. My hardware is a Zotac zbox, using HDMI. Alsa is 1.0.24. Asound and sound.conf has been modified. Everything works fine when playing through KDE, but trying to play through Linuxmce I get no sound. In the xine player log there is the following error.

Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks Kevin

How do I edit my sources.list etc to keep from pulling MythTV backend, frontend, Player, Plugins etc. I have my own version of these for the ceton card, but would like to upgrade everything else.

Thx,
Kevin

Has anybody with working knowledge of LMCE and mythTV had a chance to look at this new API? Will it possibly make Myth more of a stable partner for MCE?  Thom, I know you share my current disdain for Myth as far as stability. Could this new API allow us to see something of an improvement?

My update media runs way too much and graps most of the cpu. Brings the system to a crawl

I am trying to put Linuxmce on a new machine for development and keep getting this error.

It is my understanding that the scenarios define what is seen on an orbiter. For example if you have a radio scenario defined for a room then the radio button will show up under the media. How does that scenario tie to a plugin? Is it by PK_MediaType? How does a plugin know what it is supposed to be handling?

As soon a a recorded program finishes, the mythtv plugin calls for checkfornewrecording, this function is failing on the call to Media_Plugin::CMD_Add_Media_Attribute which the causes my router to reload. Does anyone else see this? Any help would be appreciated. I'm tired of having to delete the recordings in dolphin in order for the router to stop reloading.

Thanks,
Kevin

I know there has been talk of moving away from mythtv as a pvr backend, this may be a way to do that. Has anyone looked at this yet? Looks interesting.

I have purchased a bunch of logitech c910 cameras for myself and my family to use with skype. These cameras are HD and provide awesome quality video. My question, is there a way in LMCE to just view their output, I don't care about motion detection, or recording just want to use them as a monitor for the babies room, pets etc. Is this possible?

Thanks,

My web orbiter doesn't allow me to switch rooms, users etc Screen shot attached.

What is the best way to create thumbnails for home movies? 00012.m2ts gives me no idea what I'm about to watch and I now have hundreds of these finally working.

I have recently purchased a couple of IR transmitters, HP Media Center that come from a vendor not currentl listed in the version of LIRC that LinuxMCE uses. From what I have read online these will work once lirc is updated with the vendor specific info. I plan on rebuilding lirc when I get home.

lsusb shows:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1934:5168 where research indicates that 1934 is the vendor ID for: FINTEK.

So my assumption is that I need to add the lines highlighted to mce_usb2.c
Is this the correct approach and if so
How do I get this back into svn or does someone want to do this real quick for me.

How do I make this? Do I need to make all of lirc or just the mce_usb2 driver?

mce_usb.c

#define VENDOR_FINTEK      0x1934

static struct usb_device_id usb_remote_table [] = {
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x0815) },   /* Philips eHome Infrared Transciever */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x031d) },   /* SMK/Toshiba G83C0004D410 */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TATUNG, 0x9150) },  /* Tatung eHome Infrared Transceiver */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SHUTTLE, 0xc001) },  /* Shuttle eHome Infrared Transceiver */
       { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_GATEWAY, 0x3009) },  /* Gateway eHome Infrared Transceiver */
       { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_MITSUMI, 0x2501) },  /* Mitsumi */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0001) },  /* Topseed eHome Infrared Transceiver */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_RICAVISION, 0x0010) }, /* Ricavision internal Infrared Transceiver */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ITRON, 0x7002) },   /* Itron ione Libra Q-11 */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FIC, 0x9242) },     /* FIC eHome Infrared Transceiver */
   { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FINTEK, 0x5168) },     /* Fintek - HP media center - eHome Infrared Transceiver */
   { }               /* Terminating entry */
};

I have a bunch of MCE remote receiver/transmitters. Does the transmitter part of this work with linuxmce or is the USBUIRT the only thing that works. I'd rather use thes that have to spend 50 bucks each for 3 usbuirts.

Thanks,
Kevin

Where in the 10.04 SVN branch is the code for Internet Radio?

What's the best way to backup/ghost a working system?

I have reinstalled too many time in the past couple of weeks and realize it would be much easier to restore a working system versus reinstall when I do something stupid and eff it up. What is the best way to make a restorable ghost of the image without having to reinstall a damn thing?

Thx,

Is there anything I can do to make KDE run faster on MD's or is this just a casualty of running diskless MD? I can watch paint peel faster than thinks move in KDE.

something is creating many many mythconverg_bac processes which is killing all my harddrives how do I stop it ? What process calls this?

I bought a new zotac box for my bedroom and and went through the MD creation process. Everything is working functionality wise except when I go to Audio or Video, instead of seeing a list of my albums or movies there are 2 selections for the 3 harddrives on my core, if I choose one of those I get a list of albums or movies without any cover art. Is it possible this MD is missing a setting of some sort?

Thanks Kevin

All of a sudden my Core/Hybrid boots up with this error message! I tried running AV Wizard but it still shows up. Anyone seen this or have any ideas how to fix it? Couldn't really see anything in the logs, but I may not have been looking in the correct logs. I believe from what I could tell this is happening in the call to SetupAudioVideo.sh or what ever gets called right after that.

thanks,
Kevin


P.S. Not sure if this is caused by apt-get update or not.
