Hey
I'm new at myth, and im trying to get it setup and working. Ive gotten pretty far, but now im stuck
I have two problems I can't solve... One is the remote channel changing script is not "firing off" even though it has been specified in the config as per the instructions in these posts...
The second problem is ... when the box comes up and I choose watch tv, sometimes the picture will be black and white, and there is no sound, and more "thrashing" on the hard drive than when it operates normally. There doesn't seem to be anything particular I do to make this work / not work, its random. There are errors which ill definately post back.
My system is a Dell optiplex GX400 P4 1.5 Ghz, I850 chipset, intel Audio i8x0.
Hauppage PVR-150 card (non MCE)
Nvidia FX5600 card, 128 mb.
Have R5A30 of knopmyth.
For the IR Blaster... I went through these
PVR 150 IR Blaster Walkthrough (yes working!)
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ht=pvr+150
LIRC HOWTO: Hauppauge PVR 150 Silver remote, R5A15.1
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ht=pvr+150
#!/bin/sh
REMOTE_NAME=blaster
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
/usr/local/bin/irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
sleep 0.4 # note, you may have to tweak the interdigit delay up a bit, depending on your DISH receiver model
done
test it out
./chan_change.sh 321
This works wonderfully, and I can use my remote to navigate the menu's, so lircd seems to be working.
I added in the top of the "chan_change.sh" a
eject /dev/hdc &
And when I push the channel -/+ button, the screen refreshes, but no open cdrom drive or activity on the lircd... the script
isn't being run!
Quote:
your second ir blaster should be sending out ir signals now as well, you just need to have the script located in the
mythtv-setup as well, on your 2nd input's external channel change script area (mythtv-setup -> number 4 -> your 2nd tuners
input -> type in the external change thing
Quote:
"/usr/local/bin/chan_change.sh"
I put it under Svideo0, Composite0, and Tuner0. Did I miss something, do I need a "chan_change.sh $1" on the end ?
I don't get it ?!!?
I used the config that was posted earlier, i've included it below. I live in canada and have the same motorola reciever.... which reminds me btw, does anyone know how to get the guide to come up ? Once i get this working id like to map one of the buttons for that feature
And the working / non working issue, the black and white + no sound vs full color working with sound, i have no idea where to go. I suppose I should start with posting error messages and trying newer nvidia drivers / capture drivers ? or kernel ?
Ive tried playing with the over lay options / enable /disable mpeg hardware decoder output, and openGL.
any other ideas would be execellent
.Thanks so much for any help all !

K, so this works awesome, i did it to my own frontend setup to control a motorola dct 2500, (i have Shaw Cable here in
Canada) here is the lircd.conf i am using for it. This should work for most motorola DCT's (Digital Cable Terminal)
