[mythtv-users] basic mythvideo question
So i have everything working. But i'm confused as to the intent of mythvideo. Is it meant to stream files to multiple FEs or just play whatever you have locally. http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-18.html is the official documentation and doesn't really have any good statement of intent. I wanted to have my file server on my backend. are people using NFS or Samba mounted to allow you to read other files? I like hte idea of the smallest frontend possible.

[mythtv-users] frontend connects to localhost not what mysql specifies
In short, my remote frontend connect to mysql but do not use the ip information contained. --- i have two frontends and they both do the same thing. i can't watch tv or watch recorded videos because it asks if the ip is correct in the setup program. I set the ip in the setup program to 192.168.1.4 and looked in mythconverg.settings and found as such. mysql select * from settings where data = 192.168.1.4; +-+-+--+ | value | data| hostname | +-+-+--+ | MasterServerIP | 192.168.1.4 | tvbox| | BackendServerIP | 192.168.1.4 | tvbox| +-+-+--+ 2 rows in set (0.03 sec) the ip is actually 1.4 as shown here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:34:0C:25 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 the frontends are mac and knoppmyth on x86. the mac prints out this. knoppmyth shows the error but i haven't run it front a terminal to find what error it shows. 2005-10-29 15:31:26.434 Connecting to backend server: localhost:6543 (try 1 of 5) Connection timed out. Both frontends are obviously connecting to the backend to get mysql information including programing guide info. There is a third frontend running on the backend which works perfectly. And it shows itself connecting to the right ip. or 192.168.1.4 in the consol when run. Why would the local frontend get a different ip that the remote frontend. I've rebooted all machines involved and deleted ~/.mythtv/ on the remote frontends but not the local frontends because they work : ) thanks for any help. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] frontend connects to localhost not what mysql specifies
yes, they can connect to the mysql database. the laptop has 192.168.1.6 the knoppmyth frontend is not on right now. Both were able to get the program guide from teh mysql database so i would assume hte network is not at fault. i've done the networking things for mysql. i can connect to mysql from the laptop using ./mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -h 192.168.1.4 and see the remote database. the frontend also appears to connect because it doesn't give me any errors. is it when it tried to connect to the mythbackend daemon that it appears to fail. The ip which it is using is localhost istead of what is in mysql.

Each machine will obviously need a different IP address and access to the database from that address.

Fwd: [mythtv-users] mac osx frontend and mysql
the only one that existed was my ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and it was right, which is why it can now connect to mysql. but not the back end. it still tries to connect to backend on localhost. i tried deleting hte mysql.txt file and that works at getting me back to a point where i can resetup the mysql server info, but that doesn't help with the backend ip. it is like the frontend isn't respecting the data in mysql. although it does change my theme to the master settings. thanks for your time Paul On 10/28/05, Todd Houle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As Roald said, the mac will remember the ip address, even if you chaned the backend.

The reason why I'm asking this specific question is because I'm building an arcade cabinet (from scratch, and almost done) and really like the frontend for Mame and want to have it be the first thing I see on the screen when I boot linux, besides my custom logo in bootsplash. P.S. - Has anyone thought of ripping the frontend for mame fro mythtv, and making it a single frontend for mame? THANKS!!! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] audio static
thanks for the help, i'm thinking it was the via/soundblaster issue. resolved by buying a pvr500, i wanted two tuners with their own audio encoding anyways. mpeg2 is just so much better than mjpeg. that being said, soundblaster outputs fine, input recording just wastn't working. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] font and screen size problem
wait. are you saying that the resolution is lets say 1280x1024 and you can only see 800x600 of it? like the center. is this actually a myth setup thing or is everything in X windows changed to that setting. If so, you might have hit, i think the combo is, crtl+alt+ and '+' or '-' which changes between teh resolutions in xserver as defined by your x-org.conf (in gentoo /etc/X11/ ) and you can change back using those keys. just figured i would mention it, in case you accidently his those kets while in mythsetup and misattributed the problem.

Beautiful! Worked a treat. It was at 0%, changed to 50% as described below

Thanks!
Anyone want to vote on what I tackle next?
1. Playback stuttering ('prebuffering pause')
2. Getting ALSA sound working

Had a look using the GUI and Use XV Picture Controls is already

Are you talking about a different setting in a config file somewhere?
The Xv attributes are a bit undifined. Some cards' drivers expect
50% to be normal hue others expect 0% is normal. Start playback and
press F several times until it says Hue and change the value
by 50%.

Re: [mythtv-users] audio static
wow. i had this working previously (2.5 years ago) and only recently got cable again. i remember something happening with static last time, but not this bad. i wonder if the difference in drivers is causing more flooding or is it a hardware/analog thing. either way, that is good lead. i got it to play back using mplayer, and the recording has static in it.and i guess the audio feed of the line-in directly patched to the speaker-out would not get close to the pci bus, hmm well maybe my roomie has a soundcard i can trial. i want to hook a better amp and speaker system up to the computer so i can lower teh mixer levels and see how that affects everything. i don't think the problem is the speaker, just want more power for amplification. anyways, painting my living room is hold up more trial and error. i'll post results as i get em. thanks On 8/16/05, Jo Shields [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul McKellar wrote: VIA i believe. i bought it 5 years ago (800 duron) and it is my living room box. i seem to remember compiling the VIA modules, otherwise i would have no idea. i'm not using onboard audio though. if that doesn't answer your question, tell me how to look it up, without opening the box. lspci? lsmod?

yeah. i played around with my levels on the my sound card and got some relief. the static is still present in some locations on the file playback, the loudest spots or so. now i need to get a sepperate amp/speaker set up to amplify the audio outside the box. i need to do some checking on the file, playing it in different locations to see if i can eliminate where the problems start, recording or playback. paul ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] audio static buildup
i have audio static when i'm playing back recorded tv. avis copied to the computer play back with no static so the speakers seem ok. i'm using matrox g400-tv connected to a soundblaster live on gentoo the static seems to build up. like if i pause, jump back to console, mess with alsamixer. jump back to video the static is gone for a couple seconds then becomes more and more noticeable. it doesn't really matter what i do with alsamixer, just a paused video will diminish the static for a while. any ideas? alsa, the program looks great, last time i had it set up was .13 release, then i got out of the gmae for a while. thanks for the help ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Symptom?
that is normal enough. depending on what you use for a device system. udev or devfs or however you have them set up. you only need one for each device, and often enough the additional ones people have aren't actually linked to anything substantive. i still feel like a newbie but that is what i've gathered. hope it helps. paul On 8/5/05, Marty Ravell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've noticed that I only have a single device showing for 'll /dev/video?'. i.e. /dev/video0 Is this normal?
