MythTV not installed?, and some questions (0710 beta3)
« on: January 29, 2008, 04:42:23 am »
Hi,
Well I think I got LinuxMCE kinda running... after a long time of trying.
But now nothing really works, it seems that Mythtv isn't even installed and Xine  wont find the demo files for the Graphics test.
So now I'm stuck and have no clue what I should do. I will now install the 0704 version of LinuxMCE and have a look if that works.
I have a Hauppauge PVR 500 MCE TV-Card. It was regognized but i cant set it up. and the file /usr/pluto/bin/launchMythSetup.sh doesn't even exist.
I try installing this Media Center since about 3 Days non stop with no big results. I even tried downloading the pluto-mythtv-player from the plutohome.com homepage but I get a "Server Not Found" Message. And I didn't find the package else where.
Also I wnated to ask why LinuxMCE removes software from the Kubuntu installtion, like adept...
I just want to use this system as a Hybrid at the moment but nothing I tried so far, made the TV or the Remote (Windows MCE IR Remote included in the Hauppauge PVR 500 Package) working. It would be extremely nice If some one could help me.
And some other Question I have:
1. Is there anyway to change the Language or will there be a German version in the future?
2. Is there anyway to change the design like a skin or something simlar?
3.  Will there be any support for German users in the future? (Localisation by IP, TV Programlist etc.)?

Please excuse my poor english I'm from Germany but this Post is really the last thing I can try.

Hi just a quick note.

During the installation when the first setup wizard is running one of the last things it asks is what tv software do you want.
You will have two buttons one with MythTV on and the other with VDR.
I am guessing you clicked the VDR button which is whythis has been installed and not mythtv.
VDR only supports dvd digital tv reception and it is not fully working at moment.
Try reinstalling the system and making sure you click on the mythtv button at the end of the first setup wizard and mythtv should be there all you will have to do then is click on computing/mythtv setup from an orbiter to set this up.

Regards

Hi,

I tried both but the first try was definatly the MythTV but but nothing happpend, I guess because it couldn't get the mythTV Package from the Plutohome Homepage?!
But thanks anyway I'll keep that in mind.

You installing from the dvd installer.
As far as I know the mythtv package should be on the dvd and installed ithout downloading from the internet.
I think this is also the case with the cd install.
