Users / Cannot open DVD

I put in a very simple DVD (several actually) and neither Xine nor Media MPlayer can play the DVD. Xine: There is no MRL and MPlayer just doesn't open the DVD.

Users / Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2

« on: October 09, 2008, 03:52:26 am »

I just plugged in a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 to my linuxMCE box.

I read the following link:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-PVR-USB2

How do I get to the MythTV setup to install a new capture card? Do I need to install any drivers?
I went to KInfoCenter and honestly I could not see if this device was recognized or not. Does Kubuntu have a plug and play engine?

Users / Why did my MCE setup wizard start over?

« on: October 09, 2008, 02:38:12 am »

I shut the computer down (as far as I know normally) and when I start the box back up it re-runs the entire MCE setup wizard over again losing all of my configurations. What gives? And how do I backup my config in case something like this happens again. Also, what is the best, correct shut down procedure?

Users / Digital media receivers

« on: October 07, 2008, 02:37:36 am »

I want to be able to pull movies from the linuxMCE to any one of my TV's. My understanding is that I might be able to do this via a DMR. What DMRs (digital media receiver) will work with linuxMCE?
And how would I set this up?

Installation issues / Up and running now i have a few questions.

« on: October 04, 2008, 08:48:40 pm »

I got MCE  up and running and I am at the "When you can see and hear me wizard" where the lady is talking to the screen. I went thru the wizard once. Then it comes up again and again. I finally go to the KDE desktop, but I see that this wizard is still running in one of the panes on the kicker.

Also, I do not get a login prompt when I login and when I logout I get a black screen, I do not see an option to shut down.

Also, is there a quick start guide anywhere? Some place where I can get the basics for getting the entertainment portion especially, up and running. And some place where I can get a list of the most popular and compatible hardware to run with MCE.

I would appreciate any help, thanks.

I got everything up and running and I am at the "When you can see and hear me wizard" where the lady is talking to the screen. I went thru the wizard once. Then it comes up again and again. I finally go to the KDE desktop, but I see that this wizard is still running in one of the panes on the task bar. Any ideas?
