Is anyoe actually using Mythburn on a Fedora box that's willing to give up some info on you did it?

The wiki on Knoppix sys: "Installing required softwate for knoppmyth. (for other distributions, gloss over pre-requisites and go to 'install MythBurn')"

I'm thinking that's probably not a very good set of instructions, maybe missing something???

Are these the pre-requisites for Fedora?

mjpegtools 1.6.2
dvdauthor 0.6.10
imagemagick 6.0.6
transcode 0.6.14

What about projectx and java and...

...confused and looking for some help...

Thx,

I can't believe nobody is running the Mythburn scripts successfully on a Fedora box that's willing to give up a little information on the installation, where's the love....

Well you have to figure most of the folks on here are running KnoppMyth. KnoppMyth, I do the head banging for you...

I'm running mythburn on Fedora Core 3

You need Projectx and java in addition to the above-mentioned pre-reqs.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Thanks for your offer, some of the people on the Myth forum have been able to shed some light so I've been able to make some progress but not able to fully create a DVD yet.

I've been banging away on this but am stuck currently and givien the following message:

So, it appears to be creating the files necessary or maybe missing the "log file" I'm not sure? Any light you could shed on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

The stated fixed for this is to run xvfb once as root. Good luck.

Do you know what the command should look like?

Thanks,

On KnoppMyth:Might be the same on FC or perhaps all lowercase.

2hampton:
Any luck getting it to work?

What version of ProjectX are you running?

I got close but there are compabability issues with Mythburn, projectx and Myth SVN so I basically had to give up the fight for the moment unless I missed something.

I think essentially the problem is that I use SVN and they have since changed to .mpg as the file extensions of recordings as opposed to .nuv as it rightly should be but that mucks up MythBurn or projectx, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is? I think this link says it all ( http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ight=mplex) Mythburn is broken with CVS or SVN or are they the same?

So with some help from vintonc and others I was able to get the frontend to show up in Mythweb and start to create a DVD but it bombed in the process! It seems that Mythburn has issues, projectx 9 doesn't work so everyone is using projectx 8.2 if I recall correctly, keep in mind these are only my assumptions and are not meant by any means to be all inclusive. I did see some posts that implied some people might be using projectx 9 but no real answers.

If anyone is successfully using Myth SVN 7255 or higher and Mythburn successfully together I'd love to know how they are doing it.

I'm also under the impression that Mythburn has beenincorporated into Myth but I don't see it in SVN 7225 so maybe it's in a later version or in a different port altogether.

I gave you a bit more info than you wanted but I appreciate the offer to help, regardless.

Thanks.

2hampton,

I changed the following in scripts/remplex.sh (the trouble occurs when searching for existence of log files; while stuck in a search for older nuv files)
function remux_projectx() {
local src=$1 dst=$2
base=`basename $src .nuv`
I changed base to base=`basename $src .mpg`

works now for mpg, but of course burning .nuv files will cause the previous results, I am sure the search can be increased to include with case. Even with this fix I still get the following error after the mplex finishes;

Processing MPEG2 1504_20051230013000.mpg onto page 1 as button 1
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'mpg and recorded.endtime=' at line 1

Another issue I had with the actual install; in the install.sh scripts I had to change the search for program_listings.php to mythweb.php.

At first glance the images do not appear in the mythweb. I'll check out more later.

I am still having trouble with the mythburn-ui gui in MythTV. It stalls at after the mplex process when it starts to create some menu item by extracting either image/video from a certain frame.

there you go.

problem is with the getmyth.sh script. it looks for variables it expects to pull from nuv type files, eg. start/end times. Going to remove such references from the script, and change the sql statements around if i can

Nice progress your making ddlysins.

I wish I could help or shed some light but I'm no programmer in C.

Have you been able to complete a DVD yet? Any other information about the MythBurn re-write I understood was going on?

2hampton,

Yes I have burned a couple DVD from recordings that were MPG. Although, when it came time to do the database lookup in the getmyth script I hardcoded a few items so it would work. But that's really as far as I can go.

I understand the mythburn developers are on all these items now, and hopefully we will see a fully working version soon. I'll be patient - it will be worth it.
