MiniMyth with MythTV 0.20 test build is available

juski · Post by **juski** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 3:46 pm

I'm seeing a few issues so far...

Cant seem to shut minimyth down from the UI.. this is bad, I need it. EDIT: d'oh! it's a mythfrontend setting. Never mind

OpenGL really sucks on my EPIA-M10000.. talk about slooooooow

WOL doesn't work when I've done a shutdown.

Everything else, so far so good

I would imagine that it is. However, there are some things to check.

What theme are you using? I have noticed on the mythtv-users mailing list that people are having trouble with G.A.N.T..

If you run the command

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep renderer

does it say CLE266 (with a bunch of other stuff).

WOL doesn't work when I've done a shutdown.

Are you saying that MiniMyth does not wake up your back end when it should?

Everything else, so far so good

Thank you for the report

I'll check the glxinfo stuff tomorrow, today I was testing & building up to migrating my main backend to 0.20 on ubuntu (from gentoo).

When I said I have a problem with WOL... I find it nice to be able to wake the minimyth box with WOL... I first had this problem when I upgraded to 0.19 - my wakeup script still sends the correct 'magic packet' but the box doesn't wake up if it's been shut down. IIRC it's possibly a kernel issue with the LAN driver.

FYI one thing I had a little trouble with was the lirc configuration... in previous versions I'd never bothered to have a remote name in minimyth.conf & got away with it.. not this time

Marvellous

Mythtv 0.20-fixes has changed the protocol version, so I won't be able to use this minimyth with it.

ArghhhhH!

Yeah. I saw that. I was hoping they would realize that this was a bad thing to do on the fixes branch and back out the change. I guess not. Are packagers already pushing out packages with the new "fix"?

No idea, Pablo

Only a matter of time before they do though I guess.

I'm putting off upgrading until things have settled down for a while.

Pablo,

I've been trying out the test versions of minimyth 0.20 recently (I was using 0.20-19b4). I got this mostly working (still just a couple of things to test before upgrading my live MythTV system to 0.20) and thought I'd try the 0.20-19b6 version of minimyth.

My config Xorg that worked ok for 0.20-19b4 didn't 0.20-19b6. My minimyth.conf is configured for PAL, 720x576Noscale, S-video, but none of these settings got inserted into the xorg.conf file on the FE.

I've just regressed to 0.20-19b4 for now, but have some of the config options changed, or is this a bug?

Anyway, much appreciation for all your work you put into Minimyth.

Thanks
Peter

They should work.
Could you post your minimyth.conf file.

Hi Pablo

Any chance of getting a newer mythtv on the image? The protocol version is up to 31 and my fine frontend is currently stuck at 30.

EDIT: I am running 0.20B6 and am maintaining mythtv backend through ATrpms

TIA

Yes. I noticed that ATrpms has picked up this version. Assuming I get a chance to test a few init script changes that I made, I should be able to upload a new version within the next 24 hours.

Pablo,

Just to let you know, I've tried 0.20-19b7 with the same config file and that works fine. Not sure whats changed, but works now.

Thanks
Peter
