I purchased one last time they had them and am quite happy with the results. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98732.html Fri, 16 May 2008 08:01:58 GMT I find the problem when I install ivtv-kmdl: ivtv-firmware-dec >= 2.02.023 is needed by ivtv-kmdl-2.6.24.7-92.fc8-1.0.3-136.fc8.i686 ivtv-firmware-enc >= 2.04.024 is needed by ivtv-kmdl-2.6.24.7-92.fc8-1.0.3-136.fc8.i686 I am using fedora core 8 now, and can not find ivtv-firmware-dec and ivtv-firmware-enc from atrpms(http://dl.atrpms.net/f8-i386/atrpms/stable) How to solve this problem? ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98728.html Fri, 16 May 2008 03:26:22 GMT I'm sorry I understand this problem so little I'm not sure I am telling you everything you need, but I'll do my best. Fedora 8 with MythTV-frontend 0.21-187 on KDE Dell Latitude D820 Core 2 Duo, Nvidia's closed driver nvidia-x11-drv-173.08-1.beta.fc9 (dkms) On occasion, I would have problems where other applications would output sound on my laptop, but MythTV wouldn't. Usually, exiting my X session and starting X again would ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98724.html Fri, 16 May 2008 03:02:30 GMT If I make a custom playback group with multiple deinterlacing profiles, how does Myth determine which entry to use? Essentially, I want to be able to try Bob 2x for 1080i and 480i recordings, but not for 720p and 480p recordings. How would I set this up? I looked at the wiki entry for playback profiles (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles#Default_profiles), but it doesn't really seem to describe this process well. ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98714.html Fri, 16 May 2008 00:56:31 GMT I upgraded to .21 around two months ago and ever since then the aspect ratio of my videos has been incorrect. All my recordings are in 4:3 and MythTV stretches them to 16:9 when I output to my television through HDMI. .20 did not do this - there were black bars on the left and right sides. The aspect ratio override in general playback settings is set to off. The zoom/stretch/half setting is also set to off. In the appearance settings, MythTV is set to use the same ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98703.html Thu, 15 May 2008 21:48:48 GMT The mailing list gets regular requests for hardware suggestions/recommendations/approvals. I think this would be minimized if pricing tier examples were listed on the wiki. While the wiki has a lot of info on individual hardware choices, the only place its all pulled together (from what I could find) is in the member rigs area, and unless you click on every link, due to the lack of description in the links themselves, you might see examples ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98701.html Thu, 15 May 2008 21:27:41 GMT I was taking a look at the wiki the other day for ideas on a decent but affordable frontend/backend setup and found the mythmember rigs page. The top page has a link to each member's description of their setup. But the top page only has their nick/name in the link. I thought I hit paydirt, but I found that I had to click on every link just to find which rigs were Intel or AMD, which had an nVidia card vs an ATI card, etc. It would ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98699.html Thu, 15 May 2008 21:10:33 GMT I have some problems playing back certain files on my Xbox frontend running Xebian/Etch with MythTV 0.21. I want to take a look at the logs to see what is going on but I can't find the mythfrontend log anywhere. I have checked /var/log and there is nothing there. I have tried starting the frontend with '-l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log' to try to explicitly make it write the log, but there is still nothing there. Does anybody know how I ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98686.html Thu, 15 May 2008 19:00:05 GMT the mythbuntu MythTV development team is proud to announce the development of scanfw- an EMI/CCI scanner to help identify encrypted stb channels on firewire connections. a motorola-only alpha version of scanfw is now available for wider testing. a scientific atlanta version is in development and will be available for wider testing soon. anyone interested in hands-on testing during the coding of the SA scanner are encouraged to ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98684.html Thu, 15 May 2008 18:48:11 GMT I have a backend and frontend/backend setup running 0.21 running on Ubuntu. My problem is that if I'm trying to watch liveTV or if something is recording in the background, the video gets really choppy when mythcommflag is running. It's much worse when mythcommflag is running on the frontend. Rather than dedicate a computer for the task, I think it would be much better if I could suspend and resume mythcommflag (via SIGSTOP and SIGCONT ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98675.html Thu, 15 May 2008 16:35:36 GMT http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/15/0312256 Just wonder if anyone had a tuner that recognized the flag and had a show not record. I know that the legislation demanding tuner compliance with the broadcast flag didn't pass, but I always wondered if any of them had implemented it anyway. pcHDTV makes a big deal out of not implementing it in their products. Apparently Windows MCE wouldn't record affected shows. ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98673.html Thu, 15 May 2008 16:26:01 GMT http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/739 http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2008051401-consequences-of-sslssh-weaknes s.html This affects debian and all derived distributions for the time period stated in the blog post. In short, update your openssl package, regenerate your sshd's host keys, and regenerate your ssh keypairs used for authentication. I would add that it doesn't hurt to get new versions of any ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98663.html Thu, 15 May 2008 15:04:30 GMT How does MythTV stream its video to a client? I have read all the documentaiton I can find but I can't specifically understand this one. I know it reads different filetypes like mpeg3 mpeg4 avi, etc. but how does this data get to the client? Are the clients sent a file link, and they read the file over the network? Is the data read by the server and broadcast to the client? If I have 2 clients watching the same thing, will they ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98657.html Thu, 15 May 2008 14:10:48 GMT My mother is in the process of recovering from some major surgery. This means two things, I expect to be going to see her in the not too distant future and and am thinking "is it time to pull together a MythTV box for her?". My mother is a retired high school home economics teacher, so, no dummy, but on the other hand, limited computer skills (well, limited technical skills in general, programming the VCR is something she finds ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98652.html Thu, 15 May 2008 13:36:07 GMT Late last week I opened up mythweb to look at the list of upcoming recordings and noticed something odd. There were 2 shows listed (1 from the day before and one from 5 days before) that were showing as currently recording. I had seen this once before a while back, but didn't know what to make of it. This time I started poking around, and noticed that on the backend status page, it said tuner 1 was was watching LiveTV. That's nice, except that ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98648.html Thu, 15 May 2008 12:47:13 GMT On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 10:42 AM, Phil Bridges <gravityhammer> wrote: > Currently running 0.21-fixes-16944. > > I wanted to schedule a program today through MythWeb.

However, I have transcoded some sample files and the results are less than satisfactory. The original files are still there, with a .old extension, so I can easily delete the transcoded file and restore the original. I have realised that the seek table will need to be rebuilt, and ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98642.html Thu, 15 May 2008 06:42:38 GMT After building a new .21 system I'm having audio/video sync issues with MythVideo playing dvd in iso format from an NFS share on the master backend. System details: The Old System: The previous incarnation of the system was an FC6 Master Backend P3 1Ghz, Gigabit Ethernet, 2x Maxtor PATA 500GB HDs, and a FC8 Dedicated Frontend on a Athlon 3200 (same as the new system). This system was running .20, and both ... http://readlist.com/lists/mythtv.org/mythtv-users/19/98632.html Thu, 15 May 2008 04:10:07 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having trouble with nuvexport.

I can't get playback to work smoothly unless i use the kernel decoder, and the motion is horrible with kernel. I have a core 2 duo 1.8ghz with 1gb of ram in my mythbox. The playback worked great in ubuntu 7.10 with the yadif 2x decoder, but since i upgraded to mythbuntu in an effort to simplify things (because so many other ...
