jzigmyth's procedure to get caller ID popup using ncidd/ncid is good. However, I'd rather be able to see the callerid display anytime, not just during playback. So instead of using ncid-mythtv, I used ncid-yac along with xyac. So, I followed the procedure, but with one change to the ncid configuration: /etc/sv/ncid/run contents: Code: #!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 export TERM=linux . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions svwaitup -s 3 /var/service/ncidd \|\| exit 1 which ncid 2>/dev/null >/dev/null if [ $? = 0 ] then if [ -f /var/service/ncidd/run ] then sv start ncidd fi stat_runit "Starting callerid client" exec /usr/bin/ncid --no-gui --message --call-prog --program ncid-yac fi Now, the additional steps... ncid-yac needed to be modified slightly, as it wasn't stopping on its own and wasn't sending until it was stopped. Code: sudo nano /usr/share/ncid/ncid-yac This line: Code: echo -n "@CALL${CIDNAME}~${CIDNMBR}" \| nc -w1 $YACCLIENT $YACPORT Needs to change to: Code: echo -n "@CALL${CIDNAME}~${CIDNMBR}" \| nc -c $YACCLIENT $YACPORT So now, instead of waiting for a timeout, nc just sends and closes. That timeout never happened on my system, so the yac messages were only occurring on shutdown. ncid-yac depends on netcat. So install netcat: Code: sudo pacman -S gnu-netcat This gave me a warning, but it functions. Now to set up xyac... modified for R6 from elgordo123's procedure here: xyac depends on xosd, so install that. Code: sudo pacman -S xosd pacman doesn't know xyac, so we'll have to compile it... Code: wget http://www.bah.org/~greg/tivo/xyac/xyac-0.1.tar.gz tar zxvf xyac-0.1.tar.gz cd xyac* su make make install This installs xyac to /usr/local/bin To get xyac to run, it'll need an entry in fluxbox apps. Code: sudo nano /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps Add this line: Code: [startup] {/usr/local/bin/xyac -p middle -A center -c yellow -s 5 -f lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24 &} (Note can also use lucidasanstypewriter-bold-18 if 24 is too big) (Note: the command xlsfonts will show a list of fonts avail to you) (Make sure it is all ONE line in the apps file or it wont start) Restart x and give yourself a call. If you'd like to manually test xyac from the same machine, you can fire off one of these... Code: echo -n "testing testing 123" \| nc -c 127.0.0.1 10629 or from a different machine, adjust that 127.0.0.1 to meet your needs. If you'd like to serve yac information to other machines on your network, set the list of listeners for ncid-yac at the bottom of /etc/ncid/ncidmodules.conf. I've got ncid-yac serving out to my windows box too, with the yac client here.

This looks interesting! Perhaps you could update or add to the wiki?

Thanks for this!! I was able to install this without problem. I've got a CallerID program I wrote on my Windows PC (yes I'm a Windows developer). I was able to modify my program to output CID info to my myth box.

I have the sneaking suspicion that much of this process could be simplified by using the "Run Callerid" and "Show Callerid" tick boxes in: Service Menu > LinHes Configuration > Advanced Settings I only noticed they existed after I wrote this up. I suspect those tick boxes do something similar to jzigmyth's procedure. Is there any documentation on what the tick boxes do exactly? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

excellent. I think the wiki is slowly building momentum.
