Re: [mythtv-users] Torrentocracy with Mandrake 10.1
I think Isaac, especially in light of NYC artical and similar slurs, wants to keep this project and associated records (such as this list) squeaky clean so that noone ever has a cause to legislate against this kind of project. Politicians seems to find reward in passing legislation which has the backing of organisations and big businesses - just look at the broadcast flag, software patent laws in the EU... It would be easy for a lawyer to construe a helpful answer to your question as support from 'MythTV' for potentially illegal activity, whatever the actual intentions. We all love Myth and would hate to see this technology made illegal by someone with questionable political motives.

Unfortunately, this card seems to be rather hard to find (out of stock at most of the big online retailers). I've seen hints of others (Inno3D Tornado, Asus V9520-X/TD-128), but I'd like to be sure, because there is variation even within a manufacturer. For example, the eVGA website shows passive heatsinks in all their pictures, but when I ordered one, I discovered that it had a fan. So now I don't trust website pictures without text; only Gainward's website specifically identifies the passive cooling mechanism. Thanks, --Rob Active cooling is not always bad. If you have a location in your case where air movement is stale, active is a good idea. A good case won't have a dead spot and so passive is prefered mostly because it's one less thing to go bad, as noise on it is so minor. --Brandon ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I also have one question/hesitation: The embedded processor is a VIA C3 1.00GHz CPU. I've heard reports that decoding HDTV requires at least a 1.8GHz processor. However, I also noted that the motherboard comes with onboard advanced hardware MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 acceleration. I don't know exactly what that means, (I note that it doesn't specifically state mpeg-2/4 hardware decoding) but if it means that it takes some of the load off the CPU to decode an HDTV stream, could 1.0 GHz be enough? I'd certainly be interested in seeing how this worked -- it'd be relatively cheap (it looks like you'd only need a case, HD, and memory, and you're in business) and the form factor and video output options make it a very attractive possibility. Can anyone more informed comment on whether it might be powerful enough for HDTV? Thanks! ~Dean Wilson The newest (released a few months ago) VIA chipset and mpeg2 decoder has not been tested for HD yet. I know someone who will be hopefully soon.

I have been struggling, on and off, with getting my DVD player working with Myth for months (Its actually a DVD writer -- but I'll wait to tackle that until I can at least get the player part working). I eventually got it setup and could play dvds, but couldn't transcode them. Well, I finally figured out that MTD was choking on its log file at /var/lib/mythdvd/temp/mtd.log - so I chmod 666 mtd.log and voila! transocde appears to be working (haven't tested it yet, but at least it gets me past the MTD is not running warning). Now, however, if I put a dvd in and attempt to play it (via Xine), it stutters like mad. Totally unwatchable. Now this was working perfectly when MTD was not running. Its almost like MTD and Xine are fighting to control the DVD, gobbling all the CPU cycles in the process, and causing the playback to stutter. Anyone have any ideas on how to make MTD and Xine peacfully co-exist? Any help would be much appreciated.

But I'm trying to get the bugs ironed out, and there is a showstopper as far as I'm concered, and that's DVD playback. This is on a Pundit-R system, using the PVR-350 tv out, 2.4GHz Celeron, 512mb ram, 160gb hard drive (which already isn't enough :D ) Ideally I would have DVD playback, with menus, through the TV out on the PVR-350. With the current state of the video player software though, it's not possible. For one, mplayer doesn't support DVD menus, and even if it did, I can't get the audio to stay synced with the video. So, after thinking about it for a while, there are basically 4 choices I have. 1) Buy another PCI video card with TV out, an nvidia. I'd rather not spend more cash on the box right now, and I'm worried it may not fit in the case. 2) Get TV out on the ATI9100 IGP. Not much luck here so far, I tried installing the RPM on my FC3 system but I wasn't successful. Has anyone does this, or have a link to a HOWTO? 3) Mplayer with DVD menus. I searched the mplayer mailing list, but it doesn't seem like there is much effort to get this working. 4) Xine with an ivtv output driver. There's some talk on the xine mailing list about doing this, and I'd be interested in helping get it working, so I'm trying to get in touch with those guys. Am I missing anything obvious here?

[mythtv-users] Bottom of GUI window hangs screen
I'm in the process of setting up Myth on a virgin FC3 box; all's
going /fairly/ well so far (just found the fix to the hanging-fonts
problem earlier on the list), except:
The GUI window (but seemingly only the settings pages) hangs off the
bottom of the screen, often hiding some of the help prompt and the
next/back/[something else] buttons.
I'm running through an nVidia card (S-Video) at 1024x768 into my TV.
The normal KDE desktop fills the screen with nothing off the bottom.
I've not had a chance to run TV mpegs through Myth yet, so I don't know
if that'll be OK.
Either Myth's creating the window too big for the display, it's
resizing the display somehow to be off-screen or it thinks the window it
has is bigger than it is. It is odd that nothing seems missing hen in
the 'normal' pages (currently, mostly just bumming around in MythMusic).
Any thoughts as to what to check? Thinking about it, I ought to do
an xwininfo on myth in normal settings mode to see what it thinks the
window size is.
I did try specifying the window size as 1024x768 instead of 0x0
('full') to no avail., and when I tried smaller (800x600) it didn't
'xrandr' the display size as I expected (although maybe that's right in
this instance) but used just the top-left 800x600, tiling the theme's
background across the rest of the screen.
On a slight aside, what would be the recommended display settings for
me? I feel I should be setting the GUI and separately, with GUI as
full/1024x768 and TV as 'DVD PAL' (720x576). I'm using a PVR-350, FWIW;
I don;t know what its recording res. is; maybe I'd be better off
using that size.

Re: [mythtv-users] myth on an old machine(which video capture card)
I know that having a slow machine will affect my experience, but I just want to get familiar with it before I drop a couple hundred bucks more for hardware. So the Hauppauge 250 wouldn't work as well as the 350 you're saying? As long as you understand that, I think it's a great place to start. I stared with a BTTV card on a dual celeron 450. It was enough for a proof of concept, but the software encoding of that type of capture card was too much for anything over 320x480 on it. My current setup is a PIII-800 with dual PVR-250's. My thought on the 250 vs 350 is that the 350 is a waste of money. No offense to anyone using or working on it, but it's a very weird setup with video overlays, non-Xv-accelerated X, and MPEG2-only decode. A 650 MHz machine should *NOT* be marginal to play SDTV MPEG2 streams IMO. Remember once upon a time when a 450 MHz machine was fast and playing DVD's on them took about 60% CPU? That's what the Mythbox should be doing, but it seems there are some code optimizations that are necessary. From what I've heard on the list recently, the internal MPEG2 decoding library has been changed, which helps CPU useage. Of course things are a bit different if you want on-the-fly filters (deinterlacing, etc)... that'll be tough on a 650. For your setup, I'd recommend getting a PVR-250 if you don't have a bttv-based capture card already to play with. They're =$100 if you look hard enough, and they'll always be useful. Once the PVR-150's driver is debugged a bit more, it'll be the way to go. You'll need a vid card that has Xv, which just about any card 5 years old will do handily. NVidia is probably the most used and most debugged, but you certainly don't need anything fancy. Another hand-me-down MX400 or even a TNT2 with tvout will work. Dewey, Can you pause and rewind live tv on your machine? I think Khanh is trying to say I won't be able to do that with the 250? I bought an nvidia fx5200 for the video out and a soundblaster card for sound. When I say the Hauppauge cards are hard to come by... go to pretty much any online merchant and every single one of them have those cards backordered :( E-bay, but do a little research. A very few of them aren't supported (Rosalyn-based). -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: LCD Monitor vs. LCD TV for Display
As much as I'd love to spend $/£1300 on something like this, I don't have the spare cash at the moment. In the interium I am thinking of getting a 19 LCD Monitor for £200 to replace my 21 TV - I know the formats are not quite the same so the 19 will be smaller, but I need a tv that accepts Svideo (mine does not!). Its that or spending £500 on a 32 WideScreen non HD TV , but I do not see the point as in a few years we will have HD tv in europe (UK eventually) so I'd be replacing that again (and by then LCD tv's will be half/third the price they are now).

[mythtv-users] Air2PC firmware location
Howdy, Im running a 2.6.10 kernel from kernel.org, which has been compiled to use the hdtv3k as a DVB card. It also has support for the air2pc card as well. I just got mine air2pc card today and Im not sure where I should put the dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw. I thought it was /lib/firmware; I didnt have that dir so I made it, and copied the *.fw to that dir, as well as to /etc/hotplug, but I cant get the card to tune any channels. Then dmesg says the following when I run azap nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw)... nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload(2)... nxt2002: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?) nxt2002: timeout error writing tuner and so on. I see that in my modprobe.conf when kudzu detected the card it put in an alias eth1 skystar2, should that be there? Shouldnt it be some other alias than eth1? Could that be my problem? In the rest of dmesg, I can see that the card is found and is initialized ACPI: PCI interrupt :01:08.0[A] - GSI 10 (level, low) - IRQ 10 drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopIIB(rev.195) chip found drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 38 hardware filters DVB: registering new adapter (SkyStar2). saa7115: starting probe for adapter SkyStar2 (0x1) flexcop_i2c_func DVB: registering frontend 0 (Nextwave nxt2002 VSB/QAM frontend)... nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-nxt2002.fw)... nxt2002: Waiting for firmware upload(2)... nxt2002: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?) The same channels can be picked up by the pchdtv3k, so Im sure the air2pc should be able to get them with the same antenna.

Re: [mythtv-users] Which Window Manager?

Re: [mythtv-users] Which Window Manager?
Sorry - I've always been curious - what's so wrong with KDE? I have a Barton2500 w/ 512MB RAM on a combined frontend/backend box. Are the lightweight WMs more for people with Epia boxes, and/or those that just want to try something else? I'm just wondering if there would be any actual benefit for setup's like mine to switch to a lighter WM? There is nothing wrong with KDE as a desktop environment (although I am a gnome user), but for a dedicated mythbox it's just a flat out waste of disk space, RAM, and processor cycles. Typical Myth usage doesn't use anything that a Desktop Environment provides. No multiple desktops, no application servers, no file browsers, no CORBA (gnome), no advanced clipboards, panels, menus, applets etc etc etc. If you are running myth as an application on a desktop computer, and not in your entertainment center, then by all means, use a full fledged desktop.

Please explain what the xml source is. Call zap2it. The university is probably big enough that it desrves it's own set of listings. There must be more people there running either myth or mce or tivo or replay or sage... They would all benefit from the listings showing up correctly. It's not listed on Zap2it if that's what you mean (that's what MythTV gets the program listing from right?) I was thinking that maybe the university provided a TV schedule somewhere on it's internal university network web someplace. I know there are a few college campuses that do this. Maybe you could run some sort of port-processing routine to change the channels in the database with a simple mysql script after mythfilldatabase every day. I was thinking about that. I have a small amount of mysql knowledge. I imagine that could be the best/easiest way. If not, I think there's a way to modify the channels within Myth. Actually, I know there is.

Why, do you like being called a thief? Cheers, Allan. Personally I read the second article as being supportive of homebrew PVR'ers - did you actually read it ? I disagree... one of the main points of the article still seems to be saying that homebrew PVR-ers are trying to get free TV. What these TV industry types don't seem to understand is that the issue is not about getting something for free (as in beer) -- heck, many of us actually spend *more* on cable, satellite premium subscriptions than the average viewer -- it's about *control* and the freedom (as in speech) to enjoy the content we've paid for in a manner of our own choosing. I don't mind paying for access to content; I do resent being locked in to viewing the way some cable company exec has determined (at a particular time, in a particular format, or on a particular device). As a matter of fact, I would probably spend more on cable TV if the content was open. Right now, the silly hoops that one has to jump through in order to use Myth (or Tivo, etc) with a digital cable STB is the single biggest factor in keeping me from upgrading to digital cable. Take books as an analogy. Imagine what would happen if the publishing industry only sold books that required special glasses to read them. Now imagine that each publishing house's books could only be read with their own proprietary glasses. Such a scheme would actually cause me to reduce my spending on books, because of the hassle (note: this is exactly why e-books haven't been a large success to date). In such an environment, what I would want is not free (beer) books, but the ability to enjoy the books I've purchased on the beach or on a plane without needing to lug around several different pairs of glasses. If the publishers are not willing to provide books in an open format (i.e., plain paper), then I demand the right and the ability to transfer them to such a medium. This is why PVRs are increasing in popularity, and I'll bet that the first content provider to realize that and adjust their business model to fit this demand will make a killing. -JAC ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] recorded video preview colors?
Sorry for posting my original question twice, I thought that I wasn't yet registered on the list due to the latency. I'm sure that this is kernel related. Since I was able to fix it on my r128 machine, by adding the r128 kernel options, gentoo 2.6.9, I hope that I should be able to get it working on my Mach64 machine. Something that I'm curious to see is whether the mach64 frontend will be able to display 640x480 video without its current video stutter once every couple of seconds. Originally I had video in slow motion with loow sound, but fixed that in mythfrontend setup. I can play movie trailers from apple.com fine full screen with 60% idle and they are about 480x360 resolution, I know this isn't comparing apples ( :-) ) to apples though as that's not MPEG 2. I'll play around with transcoding some MPEG2 to different sizes to see how that effects things. Changing the size of myhtfrontend to 320x240 while the backend still encodes at 640x480 made no difference to the stutter. The machine is only 400mhz mendocino so I know that it's at the bottom end of what should be possible for a frontend, but it's not primarilly a frontend, I just thought that it's be nice if my wife had the option to watch TV on her email/browser/office PC. It's s close to working, apart from the colors in the video preview and the slight stutter, and a solution for one may end up being a solution for both. Another thought is that I need to make sure that the Mach64 machine has Xv enabled, that may make all the difference it it's not currently working... Any other ideas, please don't tell me that 400mhz is a lost cause :-) --- Travis Osterman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [...] recorded video previews with colors that made the frames look like photo negatives, i.e. the wrong colors.

[mythtv-users] channel data for air2pc not filling
Is there anything special I need to do to get guide data to fill for my Air2PC channels? I setup the source, linked it to zap2it and ran mythfilldatabase. Mythfilldatabase is putting in guide data for channels in the format of '2-1', but not the new channels for air2pc in the format of '21'. Here is how I have the channel setup: Sourceid channum callsign name freqid 1 21 WCBDDTWCDB-DT50-1 Mythfilldatabase is putting in the following channel automatically (after I delete it): Sourceid channum callsign name freqid 1 2-1 WCBDDTWCDB-DT (WCBD-DT)50-1 The second one 2-1 shows guide data after mythfilldatabase. The correct one entered when I setup the air2pc card 21 is showing 'unknown' for the guide data.

[mythtv-users] Gradually choppy TV with latest CVS
After running 0.16 from RPMs for a while, I got bold and decided to rebuild my own from CVS. I have an Athlon XP 1800+ CPU and set the -march=athlon-xp. I read about some people in the past having slower performance with this flag over pentiumpro, but it's been a long time since anyone recently complained of this, so I figured I'd try it. The problem I'm having is this. I start watching TV, and everything is just fine. If I stay on the channel, it's fine. If I switch channels, the next channel starts off fine, but about 4 seconds later, the video gets choppy. The audio is flawless. The video stutters, like I'm only seeing every nth frame. It's consistent, it doesn't seem to get better or worse with time. I'm guessing this is a capture issue and not a decoding issue, because when I rewind live TV and watch from the buffer, it is choppy in the same way. Maybe that's an ignorant statement, possibly when I watch live TV I'm just watching from the buffer anyway, I don't know. I'm using a Hauppage 250 card and I'm using an FC3 build following Jarod's guide, except I decided to build all the myth modules myself. I have a 5200FX video card, enabled OpenGL on all builds that had the option, and am NOT using XvMC. I tried a build with XvMC, and got the weirdest distortions in the video. Looked like a psychodelic trip. I'm seeing this in mythfrontend.log: 2005-02-04 12:01:11.123 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame. Dropping. #Frames=38/31. 2005-02-04 12:01:11.128 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame. Dropping. #Frames=37/31. 2005-02-04 12:01:11.128 GetNextFreeFrame() served a busy frame.

RE: [mythtv-users] Hauppauge Daisy-Chain or Red Herring?
He is full of it. To daisy chain anything, all but the last device in the chain would have to have an input and also an output. The 250 doesnt have any output at all.

[mythtv-users] FC3 - can't change channels
I've been wrestling with this myth setup for a few days now, but I think I finally have things semi-working. I followed Jarod Wilson's guide. When I would fire up myth, I was getting the error of no tuner, so i added the following to /etc/rc.local. /sbin/modprobe ivtv I originally was using ivtv 0.2.x, but I was just getting static whenever I tried to watch live tv. This was fixed by adding the following to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv Per the advice of a friend I rolled that back to ivtv-0.1.10-49.2_pre2_ck100zz, but left the alias entries in /etc/modprobe.conf I thought everything was working, so I set a scheduled recording, and myth didn't change the channel to what I wanted to record. I looked on the threads, and the solution that came up was to re-run mythfilldatabase, but I did that, and it still doesn't work. I can see all the channels when I go to schedule a recording, but I can't change channels when I try to watch live tv.

[mythtv-users] LIRC on x86_64 SuSE 9.2 Compile Issue
Not strictly a myth issue except that it's keeping me from moving forward with my install. First, thanks to those of you who have tried to help me so far. My issue: I cannot make my PVR-350 remote work with LIRC on x86_64 SuSE 9.2. The default install does not seem to support the necessary lirc_dev and lirc_i2c modules. So, i uninstalled that and tried to build/install lirc from source. I'm able to coax the make (after creating a sym link to fixdep), but make install fails. Seems the install wants a lirc_dev.ko, but the buld creates lirc_dev.o. I've posted this to the lirc list, but they are very quiet over there. The must be someone who has a new PVR-350 working on SuSE 9.2 x86_64 kernel = 2.6.8-24-default. I need to know what you did, and where you got it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Recorded Show preview color inverted?
Sorry, since solving the strange negative photo preview image on my r128 machine I tried to solve the same problem on my Mach64 mythfrontend machine, and the mach64 machine also has other video problems so simply disabling preview isn't really the complete solution. The Mach64 is a 400mhz CPU so its other problem of slightly stuttering video may be unsolvable. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Xv will allow me to play video without using 100% CPU. I seem to be able to play movie trailers from apple.com without any problems, at 480x360, and although that's not an identical task it does give me hope that I may be able to eliminate this very slight video stutter. I like the idea of not previewing the entire video, maybe just preview the first 10 seconds and then pause. --- Craig Partin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you can turn off the preview and have it just be a still image. its in one of the settings menus.

Let me know how that works out for you. You should only require a couple of decoupling caps between VCC and GND, as close to the part as possible. I used 100nf and 10uF electrolytic caps (1 each). The rest of the work is in the cabling. I myself used a RadioShack 276-640, as I've said before. It has a larger allowable source voltage range, but I don't think you'll have any problems.

RS www sales aren't trade only, just their in-person collection counters are. I've ordered loads of stuff from them over the web. D'Oh!! All the times I've not ordered as I thought they were trade only and didn't sell to the public, g. Even more annoyingly I *have* a RS catalogue. No minimum order size I believe although the postal rates are more attractive if you can put together a 'larger' order:- Ha, no problems, I'll be ordering all the rest of the components at the same time anyway. For reference if anyone else wants the same part ( TSOP1738 )it is RS stock number 286-1419 and is 83p Thanks.

What on earth makes you think it's against the GPL to sell copies of software? Several companies have business models based on that! -marc On Fri, 4 Feb 2005, Travis Osterman wrote: I came across this while browsing ebay today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7131344272 Is this just in bad taste, or is it against the GPL to sell copies of the software? -- Travis ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
