== Support for internet streams ==

As of current rev 2010-07-27 it seem to be impossible to get a internet audio/video stream to show up in Orbiters mediabrowser.
To explain a little about to issue.
The problem is not that LMCE cannot play internet streams (it can with MH Play Media).
The issue is that it is not possible to create a "virtual" file that is stored in lmce´s media database, File table.
When one add a new row to file table and set MediaType=5 (Stored Video), Filename to "http://server/stream/channelid/2" it is shown in Orbiters mediabrowser.
However it cannot be played as MediaPlugin append a "/" in front of every row in File table as it treats them as files being located in a filesystem.

There´s a couple of ways to solve this:

1.

Create a new plugin that accept internet streams.
However the plugin will need a place to store it´s streams configuration.
The concept of Shoutcast and Youtube plugin can be used here.
Both plugins above use the concept of dynamic files in lmce (as in files not represented within File table).

2.

Create two new media types in MediaType. InternetVideoStream and InternetAudioStream.
Add a little logic to MediaPlugin to not append a "/" if a row in File table is of types above.
Logic can be added to MediaAttributes_LowLevel::GetFilePathFromFileID( int PK_File, int *PK_MediaType ) in MediaAttributes_LowLevel.cpp

A new piece should be added to lmce-admin to handle configuration of streams.

Small amount of changes in lmce source code to support.

In MediaAttributes_LowLevel::GetFileFromFileID(....)
Change:

return strPath + "/" + strFile;
To:
if (*PK_MediaType == NEW_INTERNET_VIDEO_STREAM_ID || *PK_MediaType == NEW_INTERNET_AUDIO_STREAM)
return strFile; // If internet stream return filename without "/" in front of it. Internet streams cannot contain any data in Path column in File table.
// Add another check if mediatype is internet stream and if so. Do not read Path column at all.
else
return strPath + "/" + strFile;

Above solve the issues of the appending "/" sign in front of a file without path column filled in, in File table.

Add to new MediaTypes.

95 Internet Video Stream

96 Internet Audio Stream

3.

Another approach is to create a new table in Media database.
For example mURL table. Pretty much the same columns as in File table without path and Filename. Replaced with url instead.

For this to work some changes is needed in lmce source to support it.

4.

A mix of above.
Create a new mediafile type that updatemedia recognice.
For example an XML file or M3U file.
The info in this file will be added into File table by updatemedia.

else
return strPath + "/" + strFile;

Above solve the issues of the appending "/" sign in front of a file without path column filled in, in File table.
however it does not solve the problem of playing the stream.
There is another check somewhere that check if a file actually exist in filesystem.
Need the same type of if...and...buts to treat properly. Maybe some way to tell Xine_Player there´s a stream coming instead of a file.

3.

Another approach is to create a new table in Media database.
For example mURL table. Pretty much the same columns as in File table without path and Filename. Replaced with url instead.

MPlayer Player

2010-03-03T18:51:42Z

Niz23: Added MPlayer deInterlacing information

{| align="left"
| __TOC__
|}
[[Category: Programmer's Guide]]

==Basics==
LMCE use two different media players. MPlayer and Xine. Even though both players do much the same they work very different.

To control mplayer with a DCE device one have to start mplayer in slave mode. This approach have a disadvantage, mplayer will run in it´s own thread making it more difficult to control. Xine on the other hand is a library that is completely integrated in to Xine_Player. To make it easier we use libplayer, gpl library that abstract the control part in to a simple api. Libplayer is written in C and have a single simple api to control backendend players. Atm libplayer support 4 different backend players. GStreamer, MPlayer, Xine and vlc.
To use libplayer you the only thing one have to take care of is to create a X11 Window and fetch it´s window id then pass that into libplayer. When that is done you create a player and specify which of the 4 backend player types it shall be. It´s possible to use different backend players to playback different media types. For example m2ts can use mplayer and avi use xine. Libplayer have internal logic to make all it possible to use the same X11 window for all 4 backend players.

All communication between LMCE and MPlayer_Player is done through [[DCERouter]].

==Features==
* Uses mplayer through slave mode.
* Support VDPAU with fallback to XV (obeys HW Accel setting done in lmceadmin)
* libplayer to abstract mplayer mplayer communication and internals.
* Support playback of almost any video file you can find.
* Play
* Pause
* Fast Forward (jump +15s for each keypress). Not implemented.
* Rewind (jump -15s for each keypress). Not implemented.

==TODO==
* Status feedback back to lmce. libplayers eventhandler can be used here this way we get correct status back to lmce.
* Bookmark. Need Screenshot.
* Implement Screenshot functionality. Not sure if this can be done when using vdpau.
* OSD (A simple OSD can be implemented to show what is going on. Like play, pause inforamtion.
* Push mediafile metadata back to lmce. Like codec used, playback length etc.
* Make use of deInterlace settings in lmceadmin. MPlayer_Player already know which setting is set but do not take advantage of it.
* Better use of SmartPlaylists(). As in automatically identify if a media consist of several files.
* Implement simulated FF/Rew since MPlayer do not support speed change for backward playback.
* Research how the rest of libplayers supported backends perform (libplayer support Xine, VLC, MPlayer and GStreamer)

==Architecture==

[[Image:MPlayer_Player_Schematic.jpg]]

== MPlayer Specifics ==

=== DeInterlace options ===

One can enable deinterlacing in MPlayer when it is started from command line like this.
Example use vdpau as video decoder. For best result use latest nVidia Linux driver.

mplayer -fs -vo vdpau:deint=x -vc ffh264vdpau -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 filename

where x = 0..4

0: Weave no de-interlace

1: Bob 1x, each frame has 1 field selected and displayed. The field is stretched; doubled in resolution vertically. Thus, half the image resolution is lost

2: Bob 2x, each field of each frame has bob applied and displayed. The displayed frame is 1/2 the resolution of the source frame. However, all fields are displayed, so the eye effectively sees pretty much all the resolution.

3: Temporal, VDPAU "real" de-interlacing algorithm

4: Temporal spatial, a better quality vdpau "real" de-interlacing algorithm

deint=3..4 do not work good on ION based hardware. Unfortunately.

Don´t know about ION2. I have heard it should support better hardware accelerated deinterlacing. Still need to test.

Orbited For A New WebOrbiter

2010-01-14T20:10:24Z

Niz23: Initial rev

==Concept - What is a WebOrbiter==

A webbased orbiter is basically a web page that one can browse from any device.

Today we have our weborbiter. It utilize lmce´s BD stack to transmit Orbiter images to a webbrowser.
When user click somewhere on the showed picture (Orbiter screen), coordinates is sent back and translated into a command/button click that is interpreted and executed by lmce.
If that result in another Orbiter screen that screen is rendered into a picture and sent to web browser.

What would be really nice to have is a weborbiter that consist of code and graphics renderad in webbrowser on client (no more transmit of static pictures).
In my opinion there´s a couple of ways to implement this.
* Use Orbited (www.orbited.org). A software that make it possible to open a tcp socket to a webpage/javascript rendered in a clients webbrowser. Several reference protocols is supported. Like irc, stomp etc.

* webtoolkit (webtoolkit.eu). WebToolkit is c++ <-> html/javascript engine. One create a application on a server to which a user can direct their webbrowser. What is shown in webbroswer depend on what methods you have implemented in c++ code. As with Orbited bi directional communication is supported. WebToolkit try to look similar in syntax to how you program

* json and rpc. Don´t have much information on how this can be done or if it is possible.

==Implementation==
There´s a couple of solution/ideas how to do this.
One issue that we need to overcome is that it is very hard to communicate from a server to a webbrowser.

===With Orbited===
Orbited allows you to write real-time web applications, such as a chat room or instant messaging client, without using external plugins like Flash or Java. It enables streaming networking for JavaScript without loading bars or page refreshes.
To use Orbited you have a server/proxy app (Orbiter) that run on lmce core. The webbrowser talk to the proxy app and lmce speak socket directly to the proxy.
This way we have a solution where we can build a router plugin that talk tcpsocket to Orbited proxy which then translate into web requests and in the end update dom in webbrowser.

====Use Case====
* User browse media in weborbiter and click on a media file. A command is sent from webbrowser to Orbited proxy and then through tcpsocket to router plugin. Router plugin what for update and send data back thourgh tcpsocket to Orbited proxy and in the end to the webbrowser.
* User have a remote control screen opened on his weborbiter. Some other Orbiter send a message to MD to change to play another media file. Router plugin will get inforamtion about what have changed and transmit send that information to Orbited proxy which forward it to the webrowser where our weborbiter is running.

====Challenges====
* We need to have a way to identify webbrwser and store static information on the device it is running to be able to identify that particular device later on. Otherwise we cannot assign the weborbiter a unique id in lmce.

====Competence needed====
* Python competence
* Javascript knowledge
* UI Design
* C++ knowledge to implement a dce router plugin.

Libplayer is written in C and have a single simple api to control backendend players. Atm libplayer support 4 different backend players. GStreamer, MPlayer, Xine and vlc.
To use libplayer you the only thing one have to take care of is to create a X11 Window and fetch it´s window id then pass that into libplayer. When that is done you create a player and specify which of the 4 backend player types it shall be. It´s possible to use different backend players to playback different media types. For example m2ts can use mplayer and avi use xine. Libplayer have internal logic to make all it possible to use the same X11 window for all 4 backend players.

All communication between LMCE and MPlayer_Player is done through [[DCERouter]].

==Features==
* Uses mplayer through slave mode.
* Support VDPAU with fallback to XV (obey HW Accel setting done in lmceadmin)
* libplayer to abstract mplayer mplayer communication and internals.
* Support playback of almost any video file you can find.
* Play
* Pause
* Fast Forward (jump +15s for each keypress)
* Rewind (jump -15s for each keypress)

==TODO==
* Status feedback back to lmce. libplayers eventhandler can be used here this way we get correct status back to lmce.
* Bookmark
* Screenshot
* OSD (A simple OSD can be implemented to show what is going on
* Push mediafile metadata back to lmce. Like codec used, playback length etc.
* Make use of deInterlace settings in lmceadmin. MPlayer_Player already know which setting is set but do not take advantage of it.
* Better use of SmartPlaylists(). As in automatically identify if a media consist of several files.

==Basics==
LMCE use two different media players. MPlayer and Xine. Even though both players do much the same they work very different.

To control mplayer with a DCE device one have to start mplayer in slave mode. This approach have a disadvantage, mplayer will run in it´s own thread making it more difficult to control. Xine on the other hand is a library that is completely integrated in to Xine_Player. To make it easier we use libplayer, gpl library that abstract the control part in to a simple api.

LinuxMCE-0810 beta

2009-12-03T21:42:41Z

Niz23: Added info re MPlayer_Player

[[Category: Software]]
This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outline any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

The installation instructions found on the alpha2 page still apply:

==Internet Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.'''
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login, and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

== Update 2009-12-03 22558 ==

LinuxMCE-0810 alpha2

2009-08-05T20:00:39Z

Niz23: Added indo re apt-cache-ng

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available.

tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

=== HDMI Audio ===
If you installed 0810 Alpha 2.26 or earlier you will need to do apt-get dist-upgrade on your Core & MD's to get the updated AVwizard that enables HDMI audio to be easily configured... this will get you the new AVwizard and any other fixes changes since you last upgraded. For the time being you will need to upgrade nVidia (180.60 or greater) & alsa (1.0.20 or later) drivers by hand.

Updated AVwizard notes;

The new AVwizard now allows you to select primary & secondary HDMI/VGA connectors using the keyboard. Press '1' for HDMI 1 and 'Q' for HDMI 2 and press '2' for VGA 1 and 'S' for VGA 2. Once in the Graphical AVwizard UI you will notice that these new connectors are now available for selection. you will also notice that the AVwizard now has a new screen layout for selecting the Audio output and also includes 'HDMI' as one of the output connector options. Select 'HDMI' from this screen if you want Stereo output then in the following screen respond 'No' to Dolby Digital and DTS. If you want surround audio to be routed out of the HDMI connector (mainly used with surround amplifiers with HDMI inputs) then select 'HDMI' and then answers 'yes' to the Dolby Digital & DTS wizard screens.

=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
<strike>Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results</strike> The installer will now automatically choose and install the correct restricted driver during setup.It will be installed after selecting "OpenGL" on your Media Director in web admin page.

=== MythTV ===
<strike>Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin</strike>

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
<strike>Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].</strike>

=== Upgrading kernel ===
<strike>There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.</strike> The latest official kernel is -14

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

=== 20090401 (alpha-2.6) ===
Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

| __TOC__
|}

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.'''
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

=== HDMI Audio ===
If you installed 0810 Alpha 2.26 or earlier you will need to do apt-get dist-upgrade on your Core & MD's to get the updated AVwizard that enables HDMI audio to be easily configured... this will get you the new AVwizard and any other fixes changes since you last upgraded. For the time being you will need to upgrade nVidia (180.60 or greater) & alsa (1.0.20 or later) drivers by hand.

Updated AVwizard notes;

The new AVwizard now allows you to select primary & secondary HDMI/VGA connectors using the keyboard. Press '1' for HDMI 1 and 'Q' for HDMI 2 and press '2' for VGA 1 and 'S' for VGA 2. Once in the Graphical AVwizard UI you will notice that these new connectors are now available for selection. you will also notice that the AVwizard now has a new screen layout for selecting the Audio output and also includes 'HDMI' as one of the output connector options. Select 'HDMI' from this screen if you want Stereo output then in the following screen respond 'No' to Dolby Digital and DTS. If you want surround audio to be routed out of the HDMI connector (mainly used with surround amplifiers with HDMI inputs) then select 'HDMI' and then answers 'yes' to the Dolby Digital & DTS wizard screens.

=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
<strike>Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results</strike> The installer will now automatically choose and install the correct restricted driver during setup.It will be installed after selecting "OpenGL" on your Media Director in web admin page.

=== MythTV ===
<strike>Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin</strike>

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
<strike>Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].</strike>

=== Upgrading kernel ===
<strike>There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.</strike> The latest official kernel is -14

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

XML Data Handler Plug-in

2009-07-28T16:25:21Z

Niz23: Add example of devices XML output

[[Category: Programmer's Guide]]

= About =
The XML Data Handler Plugin is used by the Tivo and the Moxi Orbiter. We are currently investigating further possible uses.

= Preparations =
You need to install the "Basic XML Data Source Plug-in". It will also install a related device, the "XML Data Handler Plug-in". We assume device id 262 for the latter in this document.

= Supported Datagrids =
The following datagrids are supported:
* "Devices"
* "CommandGroups"

= Using [[MessageSend]] to fetch data =
We use [[MessageSend]] to talk to the XML Data Handler Plugin. The DCE command is 869, as can be seen in the [[Command Table]]:
| 869 | Request XML Data |

We request all [[CommandGroups]]:
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -o 0 262 1 869 15 "CommandGroups" 109 "" 202 ""

We request all [[Devices]]:
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -o 0 262 1 869 15 "Devices" 109 "" 202 ""

= Example output =

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.'''
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot
=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
<strike>Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results</strike> The installer will now automatically choose and install the correct restricted driver during setup.

=== MythTV ===
<strike>Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin</strike>

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
<strike>Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].</strike>

=== Upgrading kernel ===
<strike>There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.</strike> The latest official kernel is -14

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions.'''
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu and upgrading it etcetera:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot
=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
<strike>Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results</strike> The installer will now automatically choose and install the correct restricted driver during setup.

=== MythTV ===
<strike>Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin</strike>

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
<strike>Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].</strike>

=== Upgrading kernel ===
<strike>There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.</strike> The latest official kernel is -14

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

Will be supported by [[Fiire]] (LMCE support).

There are now 3 options to choose from when selecting a Fiire station:

1. Fiire Invisible (2" VESA wall mount)

2. Fiire Prestige (More expensive / Front Panel LED)

3. Fiire Prestige Lite (Less Expensive / No Front Panel LED)

== Features ==

Fiire Invisible:

The Invisible is designed to mount behind a standard VESA mount equipped flat panel Plasma or LCD TV set. This means for the first time ever, you can have a full HD PVR and media player solution without any visible set top box or exposed cables.

== Sales Pitch ==

The [[Fiire Station]] runs [[LinuxMCE]] and can be used as a standard medium-performance PC. However, it also has specialized video decoding hardware to provide the best video quality, and offload all video processing, including sophisticated 1080i de-interlacing, OpenGL 3D effects, and alpha blending, all in the video hardware. The end result is you get better video quality than the massive, high end Windows Vista MCE systems, which require very expensive, power-hungry, hot processors to do the 3D alpha blended effects in Aero and video playback in MCE. The FiireStation offers even better video and a smoother UI experience while drawing as little as 9 watts of power, about 1/20th what a Windows Vista Media Center PC draws. That translates to a couple hundred dollars a year in energy savings if you leave your Media PC on all the time.

The [[Fiire Station]] is available in 3 versions: A 2” thin vertical mount designed to hide behind a plasma TV, and a standard set top box (2 versions).

The vertical mount version means for the first time ever, you can have a full HD PVR and media player solution without any visible set top box or exposed cables. It comes with VESA mount holes. Most flat panel TV’s have VESA holes in the back for attaching them to a wall mount. So if your flat panel TV sits on a base, and not a wall mount, the [[Fiire Station]] attaches directly to the back of the TV using the VESA holes. If your flat panel TV is mounted to a wall, the [[Fiire Station]] is thin and narrow enough to fit inside a typical wall mount and can be attached to the wall, the mounting bracket, or the back of the TV. The vertical mount version costs more because it uses specialized precision components with ultra-lower power consumption so that it is only 2” thick, has no fans or vents, and can be tucked away in the small space between a TV and the wall.

The standard set top box version has more room in it and extra connections, including component video and SPDIF for digital audio. The vertical mount version does not provide SPDIF connectors because flat panel TV’s do not have SPDIF inputs. If you are using this in an equipment rack and have a receiver with SPDIF, the standard set top box version is better. Plus, you can have a local DVD/CD player in the standard set top box version. For the vertical mount version, you can leave your CD’s or DVD’s in a jukebox attached to the [[Fiire Engine]].

==Issues==
There were known issues with the original Fiire Stations, which were based on the Via CX700 graphics chip. Specifically, Fiire licensed closed source drivers from Via which worked well with Xine, but did not work with MythTV, and which were binary compatible with only one version of the kernel preventing upgrades. When Fiire first committed to purchase OEM versions of the Via products, Fiire was assured that a patch would come right away to fix those issues. It did not. Fiire hired outside developers to work on getting the OpenChrome and ViaChrome drivers to work reliably with the CX700M chips, but was unable to. Thus a solution to getting MythTV working on the Via platform was never found. Fiire bought back a large number of Fiire stations.

It is noted that there were a few disgruntled customers have complained about this issue as well as some shipping/server delays, and that one user posted derogatory comments throughout the wiki. However, the fact is that Fiire is a Google checkout merchant with the merchant ID 640928394967237, and, according to Google, Fiire receives on average 4 out of 5 stars, which is higher than average.

==Fiire Chief==
(Main article: [[Fiire Chief]])
The Fiire Chief is a remote specifically designed for LinuxMCE. It contains a gyroscope which allows the user to move an on-screen pointer by gesturing with the remote, similar to a Nintendo Wii controller. The Fiire Chief is based on the [[Using the Gyration Remote GYR3101US (Non-Fiire Chief)|Gyration HTPC remote]], except it contains unique firmware and labeling to perform special LinuxMCE functions (such as "Follow Me"). The Chief operates on the unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum and does not require line of sight to control devices.

==Miscellaneous==
Fiire Ltd. also carries a select range of accessories and interface devices (such as Z-Wave dimmers and HDMI cables). Some of these devices require special drivers which are only available in binary form.

[[Image:FiireChief.jpg|thumb|200px|Fiire Chief Remote Control]]

== Status ==

Supported by [[Fiire]] (LinuxMCE support) / [http://www.polywell.com Polywell Computers] (hardware).

== Bugs ==
Many users have reported "drifting" issues with the mouse pointer. This issue causes the mouse to move on it's own even when the remote is held still or placed on a table. This has been a long on-going issue with no indication it will be resolved.

== Features ==
* Wireless R/F gyro remote control specially designed for use with LinuxMCE.
* Universal I/R support for up to 3 legacy devices.
* Follow me function (requires additional USB dongles).

== Sales Pitch ==
The [[Fiire Chief]] controls both the [[Fiire Engine]] and the [[Fiire Station]]. It uses RF wireless, and has a range of approx. 50’. It is omni-directional and does not require line of site like an infrared remote. The FiireChief has all the traditional, legacy remote control buttons, as well as 3 specialized ‘gyro’ buttons in the middle that let you control every function using only those 3 buttons and gestural movements. It also has a built-in ‘follow-me’ feature. You can start media in one room, and when you want to move to another room, just take the remote with you and press ‘Follow-me’. Fiire is able to track each remote individually, so whatever media you started with that remote will follow that remote around the house. Your movies, TV and music effortlessly follow you as you move from room to room. And whenever you enter a room, the FiireChief instantly and automatically switches to control the devices in that room. So when you’re in the living room, the volume button controls the volume on the tv in the living room. Take the remote into the bedroom, and the volume button controls whatever tv is in the bedroom, whether or not it is the same brand as the one in the living room. The FiireChief is the only remote control you will need for every room in the home, and you don’t need to worry about which remote goes with which room since any remote can work in any room.

Additionally, the FiireChief has a universal i/r remote built-in with both pre-stored codes and learning. You can program up to 3 i/r devices to control with the ‘tv’, ‘aux’, and ‘cab/sat’ buttons at the top. In those modes, it acts like a normal, universal i/r remote.

The FiireChief includes one USB dongle which you connect to a Fiire Engine, Fiire Station, or other LinuxMCE PC running UI2.

== Compatibility ==
The device will register as a standard USB keyboard and mouse in recent linux kernels (tested in 2.6.25). However, there are still some buttons on the remote that will _not_ be registered by these drivers. To simplify detecting these buttons there is a ruby gem (install via `gem install gyruby`) called [http://rubyforge.org/projects/gyruby gyruby].

== Where to buy ==

[http://www.fiire.com/fiire-chief.php Fiire website].

*NOTE: This company do not exist anymore.

== Adding Fiire Chief remote ==

Just plug in the USB dongle (do not press the button on it) whilst the orbiter is running. It will install the software on its own. Then press the Connect button at the bottom of the remote and wait for 5 seconds. A message will pop up in the top left of the orbiter saying Active or Connected.(In my case the router did not respond as expected, the buttons didn't work etc... until I reloaded the on-screen orbiter. - jrglasgow)

You need to press that button to bind them after every reboot or reload of the router (or orbiter).
(I did not see this happen with my Fiire Chief, I rebooted the core and it still worked fine without re-connecting. - jrglasgow)

The LED flashes when you press buttons or the gyro is detecting motion - it is very sensitive, so even the vibrations from music can cause it to continue lit even if you aren't touching it!

BTW, the gyro times out after a short while (to save batteries?) of no motion - hit the big hand button in the middle or the menu button above it to wake it up...

== Sales Pitch ==

The [[Fiire Station]] runs [[LinuxMCE]] and can be used as a standard medium-performance PC. However, it also has specialized video decoding hardware to provide the best video quality, and offload all video processing, including sophisticated 1080i de-interlacing, OpenGL 3D effects, and alpha blending, all in the video hardware. The end result is you get better video quality than the massive, high end Windows Vista MCE systems, which require very expensive, power-hungry, hot processors to do the 3D alpha blended effects in Aero and video playback in MCE.

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

=== 20090401 (alpha-2.6) ===
Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

KDE on the MD should work not. The first boot of the system after the update will take a bit longer, as stuff that has not worked, is now being executed for the first time.

== Introduction ==
What is this for?

The reason I started this page is that for 0810 we really want that everything we say work really work the way we say it should.

A test plan is also a good way for users to verify things by them self in a consistent manner.

This document will grow over time.

Consider this the first alpha release.

== Introduction ==
What is this for?

The reason I started this page is that for 0810 we really want that everything we say work really work the way we say it should.

A test plan is also a good way for users to verify things by them self in a consistent manner.

This document will grow over time.

Consider this the first alpha release.

2008-11-19T17:40:09Z

Niz23:

LinuxMce-0810-Alpha is a test release build from the sources available in the LinuxMCE-0810 branch of SVN. It is missing several components of which the sources are not publicly available.

Thanks Zaerc

==Versions available==

The currently available version is alpha0, which is broken in numerous ways.

===alpha0===
Known problems

Please add all the issues you can find below, and/or add your name to the list of people confirming (simply sign it with [[User:Tkmedia|Tkmedia]]).
General issues

Add software list

* The "Add Software" list is empty, this probably needs to be filled somewhere, see also "workarounds" below.

Confirmed by: tkmedia

Junk in sources.list

* There are entries for old repositories that keep being added to the sources.list, needs further investigation.

Confirmed by: tkmedia

External Media Identifier

The External Media Identifier fails to start, this is because it wasn't build as the sources are not available, however it can be installed successfully using the 0710 "id-my-disc_1.8.ub0710_i386.deb" package.

Confirmed by: tkmedia

Confirmed Working

* DVD identification - Ripping

0810 Ubuntu Packages

2008-11-12T12:47:14Z

Niz23: /* djmount-0.71 */

The following packages are currently in the ubuntu dir, and are being patched in 0710. We need to find out, which of these packages are no longer in need for patching due to the patches being incorporated into the upstream packages.

This list is a verbatim copy of the directory. If anyone has any input, please modify accordingly.

=asterisk =
=alsa-driver-1.0.16=
alsa version 1.0.16 comes from Ubuntu 8.04. There are a few source differences between what is in SVN and what is in the Ubuntu package. I have not been able to find a patch that would create these changes. ALSA version 1.0.17 is in Ubuntu 8.10, so I won't waste much time looking. -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 23:25, 4 November 2008 (CET)
=djmount-0.71 =
Does not exist in Intrepid default repositories (do not exist in contents.gz file). Djmount depends on kernel module fuse which is included n Intrepid.

What is djmount? It´s a userspace utility that connects to upnp media servers and present their content as ordinary linux filesystems.

We need this one if UpdateMedia should be able to recognize media from upnp media servers. One thing to watch out for is that djmount will also mount any upnp server(s) that is started locally on the core/hybrid. Since we don´t want duplicates of all media in pluto_media we need to find a workaround for this.

Version 0.71 released in 2006 is still the latest one.

For 0810 we can use the the src package we already have since it have all stuff needed to build a deb package.
Debian stuff initially created by Razvan.

=ffmpeg=
==ffmpeg ==
==ffmpeg-svn12476 ==
There are differences from ffmpeg's SVN:12476 in this source. All changes appear to be in the latest ffmpeg trunk, but some do not appear in the standard Intrepid package. -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 20:51, 7 November 2008 (CET)
=fuppes-0+svn578=
== fuppes is replaced with MediaTomb ==
As there does not seem to be ongoing development with fuppes, and MediaTomb is readily available in Intrepid, MediaTomb will be used for 0810 [[User:Posde|posde]]
== Old info about fuppes ==
Seems it is not included in Intrepid anymore (Does not exist in contents.gz file). Need to check more, but Niz23 cannot find it in Intrepid pool directories. Zaerc suspects it was never included in Ubuntu to begin with [http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=fuppes].

Nothing special is done to this source as far as Niz23 knows since no integration exist against lmce yet.

Source appears to have come from [http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=fuppes here]. No source or directory structure changes between that source and LMCE's SVN. Differences do exist between that version and Fuppes SVN - none are source related, just some make files and directory structure. Fuppes SVN:578 is dated Wed Dec 19 13:27:54 2007 UTC - latest activity is SVN:627 dated Tue Oct 28 11:34:09 2008 UTC. SVN:578 is the "current release" according to the fuppes website. -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 23:25, 4 November 2008 (CET)

Failed to build on intrepid, and will likely be dropped in favbor of mediatomb, which is included in ubuntu already.

=libdvdcss-1.2.9=
This package is nowadays included in the [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs Medibuntu] Repository as libdvdcss2. So probably obsolete but some testing is needed.

Update by Niz23:

Above solution is not recommended according to this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5909685

The way to play encrypted DVDs on Intrepid is by using dvdread and then run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh to install css decryption libraries.

:Good find, but that script just wgets the package from the medibuntu repository manually and installs it with dpkg -i, apparently only in order to avoid having to add the medibuntu repo to the sources.list because users in some draconian country need to be aware that they are actually breaking the law by watching the DVDs they bought and payed for. I guess maybe we should call this script from the "Add/remove software screen" instead if it is decided not to add the medibuntu repo by default. --[[User:Zaerc|Zaerc]] 18:00, 6 November 2008 (CET)

=libsdl=
No longer needed as of 0804.
==libsdl1.2-1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007 ==
==libsdl1.2-1.2.12==
Used in 0710.
According to Zaerc, all changes are in the upstream package

=linphone-1.3.5=
Was used in 0710, but left out of 0804. Needs further examination, probably obsolete.

=linux-image-dummy =
=lirc=
Intrepid uses version 0.8.3-0ubuntu2 at the moment, this newer version will probably have to be patched just like lirc-0.8.3~pre1+lmce as well.
==lirc-0.8.2+lmce==
Used in 0710.
==lirc-0.8.3~pre1+lmce==
Used in 0804, contains one patch originally made by Radu.
==lirc-pluto-0.1==

=lshwd-2.0-rc4=
=mplayer=
==mplayer ==
==mplayer-svn26234 ==
I've looked into this one for a bit. There are a lot of diffs that don't make any sense... There are some hints in debian/changelog that suggest we're missing some patches... -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 23:55, 10 November 2008 (CET)
=mtx=
Gusty standard package in Universe is v1.2.17rel-2
Hardy standard package in Core is v1.3.11-0ubuntu1
Intrepid standard package in Core is 1.3.11-1ubuntu1
==mtx-1.3.10 ==
==mtx-1.3.11 ==
Source is identical to standard Intrepid. -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 06:46, 12 November 2008 (CET)
=mythtv-0.20.2+fixes14472 =
=parted-1.8.8 =
This version of parted is now standard in Ubuntu 8.10. Ubuntu packages shows no source differences from what is in SVN. -- [[User:Jimbodude|Jimbodude]] 22:24, 4 November 2008 (CET)
=spcp8x5=
Seems to be included in 0810's kernel by default, so likely obsolete.

=ushare-0.9.6=
No real reason to use this one. It´s not installed in lmce0710 so we won´t need it in 0810 either.

It can be replaced with other upnp/dlna servers like fuppes, Mediatomb etc.

=via-udeb=
=xine-lib=
Patched versions are no longer needed as of 0804.
==xine-lib-1.1.3==
==xine-lib-1.1.7==
==xine-lib-1.1.10.1==
Was used in 0710.
According to Zaerc, all changes are in the upstream package

VDR Integration

2008-10-21T14:03:15Z

Niz23: /* Variant #2 */

=State Of The Integration=
Currently, interaction between LinuxMCE and VDR is mainly done via the SVDR protocol. Remote control is designed to be done with IR remote controls. Scheduling and EPG is done using the VDR OSD. Recordings can be watch either thru the Videos screen, or thru the VDR OSD.

=What needs to be done=
To have full control over VDR, and to always know, what state VDR is in at any given time, we need to have vdr-plugin. A vdr-plugin has direct access to events happening within VDR, and can export these events to a LinuxMCE VDRPlugin.

Proposed:

A general way of how to control TV apps like VDR or MythTV.
I propose that we create a general TVAppPlugin that have all things that we make available in our UI.
No matter if it is on-screen or off-screen UIs.

As a second level there is a interface that do VDR or MythTV specifics.

= OSD or not OSD =
The VDR OSD looks and acts different than the LinuxMCE OSD. Question is, are we going to be able to re-create all the needed pages from the VDR OSD in LinuxMCE screens, and do we want to?

= Recordings =
The recordings are currently shown with their filenames vdr.001 to vdr.255 and with a title entry. This does not look nice, and is irritating. The xxx.vdr files should be excluded from the file listing, and the title entry be the only thing visible.

= Remote Control =
The current VDRPlugin is designed to work with the on-screen orbiter and a regular IR remote control.

Proposed:
All Remotes should be handled by lmce. This way we dont need to do any special coding to interface a new remote against vdr everytime someone want to use a remote we dont know about.

We need to create/define what is needed to interface against vdr:
Change channel.
Pause, Record etc.
Play recording. With xine or with vdr?

== Offscreen Orbiter ==
Off-screen orbiters use UI1. The current UI1 remote control for VDR lacks a couple of standard features
# No lighting control
# No off-screen channel list
# No off-screen EPG listing
# No off-screen timer settings

The lighting control and channel list can easily be implemented with a new screen. The EPG listing is a different beast, as not all information seems to be provided by the plugin. And there is currently no provisioning for displaying and controlling timer.

Proposed:

Be able to do everything that onscreen orbiter can do.
= Different Approach 1=
== Variant #1 ==
Instead of setting up a VDR system on each MD, only have a single instance on the core. Use the http streaming of the vdr-plugin-streamdev-server to provide live streams to xine.
# Add a file entry containing a URL to each channel
# Create Playlists containing all channels
# Use xine to play the playlists
# Have a cron job fill the attributes for the file pointing to the channels
# Add a record button to the media remote

== Variant #2 ==
this variant need some development.
Can potentially replace the way VDR is working now.

PreReq:
#Working VDR install on your core.
#No vdr on MD.

Create a new TV button that map to a new TV control mechanism/screen.
When user want to watch a TV channel Xine is started and fetch the chosen channel/stream from streamdev-server.
EPG functionality can be implemented by querying vdr control-plugin and populate an EPG datagrid.
We need functionality to map the streams provided by streamdev-server to appropriate channel we get from control-plugin.

Changing channel is just a matter of changing which stream to display.
We probably get "follow me" functionality too.

How to handle recording of a channel:

Since we have a working vdr install in our core we can use that instance to schedule recordings.

New functionality need to be added into UpdateMedia (or appropriate place) to handle added recordings.
Maybe we can create have a method in the vdr integration that create an ID3 file for the recording with information fetched from epg.

Niz23: Updates as of 2008-10-21

Things I´m thinking about:

* Integrate MediaTomb/DLNA. Status: 2
* Learn how UpdateMedia work. status:2
* Think about how vdr integration can be done simpler.

UPnP/DLNA:
MediaTomb is a more finished product than Fuppes.
Both support transcoding, but MediaTomb have a lot more features like scripting capabilities and MySQL backend support.
It can also create file that are virtual. Which mean when a user/client start to play them they are fetched in the background from an rtsp stream or something else.

UpdateMedia:
Uses iNotify events to know when new files have been added.
Writes a ID3 tag file along your video media file.
Can extract pictures from mp3.

VDR Integration:
Today:

It use VDRPlugin in DECRouter mem space.
A VDR device that interface against VDR itself.
