[mythtv-users] Changing watch recordings groups
Hey there, I have a question about the watch recordings screen. I really like how it creates program groups based on the show title, then shows each episode inside the the list for the group but... what I don't like, is how every movie that i record gets its own program group created, with (obviously) only one episode inside the group. What I was wondering is, if there was a special way to continue grouping by show title for everything except movies, and have all movies go into a special group, called Movies. I'd be happy moving them manually after recording is done, or automatically would be even better! Alias -Fait Accompli Out of the Box Lost - What Kate Did The Other 48 Days Collision Abandoned Orientation Adrift Movies -Assassins The Mummy Mortal Kombat Multiplicity etc. Is this possible?

Re: [mythtv-users] Changing watch recordings groups
Excellent thanks - im running 0.18.1, and my gf would kill me if i broke it upgrading to SVN, so i'll wait till 0.19. Definitely changing the Title to Movies and the Subtitle to the movie name would produce the desired results... Thanks! I suppose I could write a quick php interface to make the changes directly in the database... or add it (temporarily?) to mythweb.. (has this ability been added to mythweb in svn?)

The groupings are normally determined by the programs's title and subtitle unless you've turned on some other settings in which case you may see categories or recording groups I believe. I think what you want can be accomplished in current SVN by using the title/subtitle editor for a recording and changing the title to Movies and the subtitle to the actual movie name. If you're running a 0.18.x version, you'll have to wait for 0.19. If you're running SVN, look on the popup INFO menu for a recording to access the editor. -- James Grant Lightbox Technologies Inc. http://www.lightbox.org 613-294-3670 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] No Audio on PVR-350 but available when 350 notselected

I'm using a HushPC with it's built-in audio. I'm starting to wonder the following: - perhaps the audio out on the 350 isn't working properly at all, and when I have the 350 hardware playback disable the audio is being generated by the sound card? But when enabling 350 playback the audio isn't leaving the card, therefore even though it's looped back to the sound card I'm not hearing anything? (The audio out is looped through what I believe to be the line In on the motherboard) - Perhaps I have the Line In on the motherboard all wrong? Or is there a setting somewhere to check if it's enabled or not? (though i've diddled in Linux for years, I've never really messed with audio, haven't needed it). Easiest way to find out if the audio-out from the 350 is working, is to plug it directly into a speaker :) then at least you'll know if its a problem with the 350's audio output, or a problem with your sound cards input (mixer settings?)

At this point *before* selecting use PVR-350 in the settings, I can get TV to play audio.

I can revert the setting and get audio back, but with choppy video. I have not changed any other PVR-350 settings from defaults. For reference - I've got the audio out from the 350 patched through the audio in and out again from the sound card.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Trim a file
Transcoding converts a file from one format to another... with the pvr-350
shows are captured as MPEG2... in the transcoding profiles you can setup to
transcode to different formats, such as MPEG4.
I have a 350 as well, I capture as MPEG2, it auto-commercial flags the file,
i go in to the edit recording, load the commercial cutpoints ('Z' keybinding)
make sure they are correct, then begin transcoding. My 1 hr shows go from
about 2.1GB at MPEG2, down to about 500MB at MPEG4 with commercials cut out.
Of course, if you use the TV-OUT on the 350, myth will now be forced to use
CPU decoding, since the 350's onboard MPEG2 decoder cant decode a MPEG4
stream.
maybe you havent setup your transcoding profiles properly, or you transcoded
from a MPEG2 to a MPEG2 with a higher bitrate (only way I could explain the
larger filesize). Check your transcoding settings :)

So, 2 questions, why is mythbackend not create the thumbnails? and why does Mythweb take out mythbackend? If anyone has any idea what is going on, could they let me know please? I've got a bunch of recordings without thumbnails. I don't think I can skip through them properly when playing them either. My backend doesn't crash, however mythweb does take a long time to load the 'recorded programmes' page. I believe the problem was caused by running mythtv with a corrupted/crashed? mysql database after a power cut. It took me a week or so to figure out something wasn't right. After I ran mysqlcheck, all new recordings were fine again. Other than deleting the recordings affected, I don't know how to fix this but would be interested to learn of a way to regenerate the missing database data. Perhaps someone else knows how to do this? Also, am I right in thinking mysql has a mode of operation that is more resilient to power failure? Kind Regards, Alex You can also manually repair the mysql database by logging in using the commandline mysql -hlocalhost -umythtv -pmytpassword mythconverg (you might see a message when switching to the mythconverg database about a corrupt table, invalid # of lines, etc) REPAIR TABLE whatevertableisfubard; quit I've had to do this on my main webserver twice over the past year... once after a power failure, and once after the disk got filled up.

It doesn't draw any decorations on the screen. All it does is manage the focus of any applications. I tried hard to run without a WM, but mplayer focus killed me. I've been ratpoisoning for 18 months now with a raw X startup script similar to what you mentioned although I may try to modify the implementation to use init to respawn.

[mythtv-users] PVR-350 sound loop into soundcard
Hey I have an audio question - with all the hundreds of cables i have lying around here, I haven't found one yet that will take the PVR-350 TV out L/R RCA audio and allow me to feed them back into my sound card's 'Line In'. The cable that i thought for sure would work is a spare computer speaker cable for old stereo sound cards that just have L/R. its a small jack on one end that plugs into the speaker plug on the soundcard, with two RCA's on the other end to plug into the L/R speaker. I figured if it works to go 'out' it would also work to come back in?? I have a SB Audigy sound card, and in alsamixer, turned Line in up to max, Mic in (just in case) up to max , (and actually every other control there just to be sure) and i still don't get any sound coming out of my computer speakers. The only thing I can think of, is maybe the line is is mono and the stereo jack isn't making connections in the right place? I'm pretty sure its stereo though, so has anyone else had any luck feeding the sound from the 350 TV out back into their sound card? (i know that there's sound coming out, because i can plug the RCA jacks directly into the back of my TV and the sound works fine... but I'd really prefer the sound to go through the computer speakers so the volume can be controlled with myth (not to mention, my computer speakers blow the TV speakers away any day).

Cool I guess I'll give the tarball a try later i hate mixing debs and tarballs on the same system. maybe ill try to build new debs from the tarballs :) I'm still waiting for my PVR-350 to be delivered (damn canada post taking their time), so I've got lots of time to 'play' before i can actually start watching / recording anything. If anyone (in canada) is interested, www.koonline.ca has the 350 on sale for $189.99CAD James On Friday 21 October 2005 12:27 pm, Dave Sherohman wrote: On Fri, Oct 21, 2005 at 12:16:18PM -0400, James Grant wrote: Hey does anyone use the debian packages from: http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian/dists/unstable/mythtv ? The 'core' components installed fine, but it looks like all the 'plugins' are out of date (mythvideo, mythmusic, etc).. all the dependencies are broken for them :( eg) its looking for libqt3c102-mt instead of libqt3-mt mythmusic has other dependency issues as well, like, its looking for libflac6 when it should be looking for libflac7 anyone know anything about this? That's odd... I got my mythtv debs from dijkstra, but apt-cache said there weren't any plugins available, so I just downloaded the tarball from mythtv.org and that worked fine[1] for me, although I did have to manually apt-get install apache, PHP, etc., of course. [1] Well, mostly fine... See my next post for info about the big problem I hit, but it doesn't look to be anything related to Debian or dependencies. -- James Grant Lightbox Technologies Inc. http://www.lightbox.org 613-294-3670 -- James Grant Lightbox Technologies Inc. http://www.lightbox.org 613-294-3670 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Debian plugins
Hehe yes - I did that check on my laptop, which is running testing, not the mythtv box which is on unstable ... aparently there's only stable and unstable versions of checkinstall, and not testing :) hehe Thanks ill give it a try later on.
