Re: Fwd: [mythtv-users] Errors building MythTV on SuSE 9.2 Pro

2005-05-11 Thread John Kondis
I'm not a coder, but this looks more like a make error than a configure error. Did you do something like --enable-directx when you did ./configure? It's trying to compile for a windows system (DirectX audio). I don't think you want to do that for a SuSE 9.2 system. Good luck! --- flim [EMAIL

For the curious: I've attached a simple script which can be used to write pvr-x50 generated .nuv files to DVD. (Use at your own risk.) It uses ProjectX through its command-line interface to demultiplex the audio and video. Then it recombines using mplex and authors using dvdauthor. It finally

I'm a bit of a rookie myself, but for starters I wonder if you have qt installed (development libraries). For the X11 stuff, my mythbox has path /usr/include/X11/ for the X headers and that works for me. You might try putting a symbolic link in /usr/include/ that points to your library directory

A couple things. First, if you compile mythtv with the standard settings, you need to use lirc through irxevent and irexec in the ~/.lircrc or ~/.mythtv/lircrc config file. This, I have not done and don't exactly know how to do. Instead, for Myth 0.17, the following worked for me (I also am

I can't post a sample but what I can tell you is the basic encoder/decoder combination is fantastic at the default 4500kb/s, max 6000kb/s (around 2.1G/hr). On mine, though, the TV tuner had noticeable echoes, and the s-video to composite adapter that came with it was a POS. So I replaced it with
