Is it possible to hook a a few webcams used for skype up to a couple of MDs and use them as video intercoms? Or even as a baby monitor?

Don't mean to nitpick, but the menu items for live tv have mixed case. Is this something in a table or config file? Some are capitalized and some aren't. Some are abbreviations and some aren't. I think this needs to be consistent. Maybe I'm too anal, but I think Having it all Capitalized would make the system look more professional.

Don't know who put this change in, but I like it!

I did a total reinstall of 10.04 yesterday and noticed that MPlayer was not being installed on the core even though it was checked in the software section of the Media Director in the Web admin. I ended up doing an apt-get install Mplayer. Not sure if doing that would pull the needed version for LinuxMCE.

What version of Mythtv does 10.04 use? If it is not .24, is there anything keeping me from building my own version of .24 and using that? I need .24 for the support of the Ceton infinity capture card.

Any help is appreciated.

Please Thom don't be a hater

Can't get my remotes to work on my 10.04 MDs. Anybody have any tricks?

Thanks,
Kevin

Getting Diskless setup failed on both of my MD's in 10.04.

Is this working?

I installed 10.04 on my core.
did apt-get update /upgrade

then ran Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

when I boot the MD's I get "Diskless Setup Failed".

I checked fstab-diskless and it is correct.

Can I rerun Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh or do I need to start from scratch?

Is .m2ts video working in 10.04? In an old post I saw that Thom said it would be added back into 10.04. If it has been added back, is there any thing special needed to get this working? I have a Canon HD Video Camera that records AVCHD that I would love to watch on my system.

As always thanks!

I tried to go into the web admin from my core on a new 10.04 install. Fill in the user/password and a blank screen comes up. When I hit refresh I get the drop downs but there is nothing in the left hand frame.

I need to swap my nics and remember doing this from the web admin.

Anyone else see this? Any ideas.

I have an MD running on an Zotac ZBOX. I have had it running just fine with video through HDMI and AUDIO thru fiber, but decided to eliminate some cables. I followed the instructions for adding asound.conf etc. I can hear sound though mplayer, but no go through Xine. I also do not get any output (sound,video) when sending the signal to my stereo amplifier first. Only way to get either of them is to send to straight to TV. I can see the boot sequence when going through the amp but once Linuxmce comes up I loose all video.

I can always go back to sound through fiber but that is a bit defeatist in purpose.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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,
Kevin

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