Is there a way to run this in a debugger? Or do you just have to add a bunch of comments to the logs?

Developers / Error building PlutoUtils in 10.04(SOLVED)

« on: May 27, 2011, 07:43:14 pm »

I have downloaded linuxmce 10.04 onto a zip drive and am using this to mess with some of the code. When I try to build PlutoUtils I get some errors that I don't get on my 8.10 system. Am I missing a library or a new step for building in 10.04?

Here are the errors.

Developers / SiriusXM

« on: February 15, 2011, 07:01:59 pm »

Sirius/XM now has the ability to listen via the web. The new page uses a flash plugin for playing a particular stream. There is a username/password box and then it allows you to choose a station much like a jukebox. After 90 minutes of listening it will ask you if you are still listening. Is there a way to incorporate this into Linuxmce similar to HULU? Also, the place I listen most I don't have a keyboard mouse. Is it possible to use the remote with flash? Is it possible to pre-populate the username/ password?

Thanks Kevin

Users / Hauppauge PCIe internal component capture card

« on: January 07, 2011, 10:18:31 pm »

Anyone see this anouncement from CES?
Thom what do you think?

I would love to go the cable card route, but could survive with 2 of these. Does anyone think the a core could handle 2 of these at the same time? How would these do with live tv?

Users / Screensaver stops when song ends

« on: December 13, 2010, 06:07:19 pm »

My screen saver on an MD stops transitioning whenever a song ends. I have deleted and re-added the MD and it still occurs. This MD is in an area where I entertain alot, so it is rather annoying to have to hit the menu or back button to get the pictures flowing again only to have them pause at the end of the next song. The system is a ZOTAC ZBOX. I have not noticed this on any other machines. Is there a setting I need to check? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Users / Joystick help needed.

« on: November 25, 2010, 06:57:48 pm »

I bought a new USB joystick for use with MAME. The direction stick works fine but none of the buttons cause the fire action. Is there a way to map the button presses? Or do I need to take this joystick back and try another.

Thx

Users / KDE Desktop lock up

« on: November 03, 2010, 05:48:52 pm »

Something happened to my core. When I try to go to the KDE Desktop from my core the screen goes blue, I can move the mouse and that is all that happens. I am trying to update the alsa drivers on my new Zotac ZBox but am unable to proceed because of this issue. Any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Users / 3 quick questions.

« on: February 08, 2010, 10:30:32 pm »

Haven't had much luck finding a definitive answer 2 these 3 questions so thought I would ask them all here.

1. Can I view the mpeg url from my panasonic BL-C11A instead of intermitant jpegs.

2. Can I pick up the sound from this camera. ( want to use it in the nursery).

3. Will bluetooth keyboard and mouse work in linuxmce? 


Any help would be appreciated as my research time is getting more and more limited.

thanks.

Users / Sound from/to Panasonic IP Camera

« on: January 09, 2010, 06:39:42 pm »

I have a Panasonic BL-C111A IP camera hooked up to my system. Is it possible to get the sound channel working with linuxmce? Is there a way to increase the jpeg capture frame rate so the picture isn't so choppy?


Thanks,

Users / Google Voice

Has anyone looked into using google voice as the telephony portal of linuxmce? Would it even be possible?

Users / Anything interesting coming out at CES?

« on: January 07, 2010, 08:03:45 pm »

Haven't been able to get to much information about anouncements at the consumer electronics shaow in Vegas this week. Has anybody heard of anything that would be a welcome addition to LinuxMCE?

Will the dual tuner cablecard by HDHomerun be of any use? Will sling finally come out with linux support?

Users / diskless MDs KDE problem

« on: December 29, 2009, 08:31:47 pm »

On all of my diskless MDs when I try to go to the KDE Desktop I get an error message and then the MD is stuck at a blue screen. I think maybe a KDE configuration file is missing on these systems. Has anyone else seen this issue?  Is it possible to copy stuff from my core /hybrid to these diskless MD's to clear this up?

Thanks,
Kevin

Users / Scenario Setup Help

« on: December 29, 2009, 03:41:12 am »

I am ready to take my installation to the next step. I have a core/hybrid and 2 MD's in my setup, with a dish network 722 dual tuner DVR for live tv. I am able to watch what I want on any of the systems because I understand the whole setup, My wife on the other hand, is completely lost. So to make things easier for her and in return for myself I want to set things up so that one remote can control everything just like linuxmce is supposed to. I have read several of the scenario helpers and other posts and nothing seems to work as expected.

Here are the details.

TVs - LG series P with rs232 control. Will only need to turn on and off and switch between HDMI1 and Component1. This works using the TestSerialPort and have tested it thru the generic serial device test command on the web admin. - Discrete On/Off

Amplifiers - Onkyo  TX-SR703 have added as IR contolled thru the USBUIRT and have confirmed working in web Admin. Discrete On/Off

Dish Network dual tuner DVR will control channel changing and dvr function thru usbuirt.

X10 - CMA11 working fine in all rooms.

What I would like to do.

Use the special buttons on the remote to kick off different scenarios, ie pressing the movies button would:

1. Turn on TV.
2. Switch TV to HDMI input.
3. Turn On Amp.
4. Switch Amp to CD input.
5. Switch the media director to movies list.
6. Dim lights to movie setting.

Live TV button would:

1. Turn on TV.
2. Switch TV to Component1 input.
3. Turn On Amp.
4. Switch Amp to Video1 input.
5. Switch the media director to movies list.
6. Dim lights to movie setting.
7. Recognize I am in live tv mode and direct remote key presses to control Direct TV.

Therefore the remote special keys would be navigational shortcuts until I have time to get an android orbiter working.

I know this is possible but haven't had much success getting things working.

Also my TV was getting turned off whenever I switched from a movie to another menu item. Why would an event be triggered to turn my tv off. I only want this to happen when I ask it to be shut off either from the remote power button or from the power menu item on the orbiter. And yes I have set ignore on/off to On, but I assume this will disable the system from turning my device on or off even when I specifically ask for this.

Any direction would be appreciated as I have already spent 10+ hours trying to get this working the way i want to no avail.

Thanks,
Kevin

Installation issues / Beta2 Installation Problem and solution

« on: December 11, 2009, 09:59:31 pm »

I was having a difficult time getting the AVWizard to show up on my Core with the beta2 dvd. I would hear the beeps and press 1 then 0 to get to the AVWizard thru the DVI connector with 1080p resolution. This would always bring up an invalid format message on any monitor/flat screen that I had. I spent hours of being frustrated. I edited the xorg file hundreds of times and couldn't figure out what the problem was. I finally brought everything up through the console and kdm used the nvidia settings program to get a 1080p xorg created and then stopped Xconfigure.sh from changing my xorg.conf. I was able to then get the AVWizard to show up. What I found was that the refresh rate is now set to 50hz instead of 60hz on the AVWizard keypresses. None of my monitors could handle that refresh rate hence the invalid format. So when all else fails get X working correctly with KDM and then don't let linuxmce change the xorg.conf by editing the Xconfigure.sh to exit right away.

Hope this might help someone seeing the same thing.

Users / No video from DVI2 on Zotac 220 - BETA2 (Solved)

« on: December 11, 2009, 08:15:13 pm »

I am not able to get any video out of my dvi2 on a Zotac 220 MD. I have to use a temporary display in the vga port to get to the AVWizard. I then pick DVI2/HDMI 720p 60hz, but nothing shows up on my plasma tv. I can see the boot sequence on it but no X.


*Solved*

I added this line to the xorg.conf device section.

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DVI-1"
