WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS Warning use of these instruction may harm your computer.
Use them at your own risk.
My goal here is to have a collection of useful hacks for the frustrated beginner intend as a quick and dirty guide to just getting LMCE to work damn it
This guild assumes a stock as you can get, to fresh install as possible, configuration. With one core and at least one orbitor.
Orbiters - Humans best friend
- Whats the ip address of my orbiter:
stub - admin webpage guide
stub - orbiter page
- Gaining root on an orbiter:
ssh 192.168.80.1
sudo su
ssh ipaddressoforbitor
MythTV Work arounds
- Deinterlace filter Hell (defaults to bob(2x)):
Where OB# is the Orbiter number
ssh 192.168.80.1
sudo mv /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/pluto/bin/MythTV_Player /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/home/mythtv/MythTV_Player.bkup
sudo ln -s /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/bin/mythfrontend.real /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/pluto/bin/MythTV_Player
Now your settings wont get over written on next startup.
--Note: this worked last night but after "cleaning up" the basement and moving the core to its new home this morning, mythtv stop working:Benjaminbrown
- LMCE didn't find my crappy old analog tuner card X
Don't worry this is normal for old hardware just finish the setup wizard and on each machine with a tuner:
- more -> Computing -> Mythtv setup: and add your card from here
- MythBackend Recorders (sound capture will not retain settings)
This has more to do with lmce setting the capture to the first mic it finds on start up.. So just forget about using the fancy internal cd input or, using the line in, and just plug the silly phono jack from the card to the mic. It will save you from to much nagging while still allowing you time to really fix it latter.
stub - Link to real fix using alsactl
- Guide data
stub - see zap2xml
stub - see mc2xml
stub - mythfilldatabase
fuppes (Media Server)
- Cool it finds all my media, but I moved/added my files and now lmce can't find them.
fuppes needs to be told when to look for more data and what not. Just log in to the lmce admin page located at http://192.168.80.1 and goto: Advanced -> Configuration -> Upnp Server : then click options -> rebuild database or update database
