Installation

Core

Stop UpdateMedia from mangling my id3 tags, this causes updatemedia to import data but not update the file's id3tags.

echo SyncId3Files=false >> /etc/UpdateMedia.conf

Add the following to /etc/pluto/xine.conf to enable 5.1 PCM over hdmi (and therefor multichannel AAC).

audio.device.alsa_pcm_device:plughw:1,3
audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:1,3
audio.device.alsa_default_device:plughw:1,3
audio.device.alsa_surround40_device:plughw:1,3
audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:plughw:1,3
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through
audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:plughw:1,3

Configure the D-Link DWA-552 as an Access Point (if desired)
Turn devices on/plug-in one by one

TODO

ability to set values from events?
sqlCVS asynchronous commits, PK/FK misalignment
create BL_SameEntArea message broadcast level for proper CMD_Set_Screen_Type_Cat behaviour?

Useful Commands / Processes

Hide the cursor in orbiter

touch /etc/pluto/orbiter.disable.mouse

Re-initialize the Media Database

(From forum post http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6408.msg70571#msg70571)

Disable the UpdateMedia daemon

# /usr/pluto/bin/UpdateMediaDaemonControl.sh –disable

Login to mysql and remove the database

# mysql -uroot
# drop database pluto_media;
# quit

Re-initialize the media database

# cp /usr/pluto/database/media.sqlcvs .
# /usr/pluto/bin/sqlCVS -D pluto_media -r media import

Re-start the UpdateMedia daemon

# /usr/pluto/bin/UpdateMediaDaemonControl.sh –enable

Set Root password on MD

Get superuser privs and enter your password:

$ sudo su -

chroot to the MDs environment (XX is the MD#), run passwd and enter your desired root password for this MD.

# chroot /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/
# passwd

You can now ssh, or login, to the MD as root.

sqlCvS webadmin use

-**19 Oct. 2009 - I've been fighting with a CM11A and two X10 appliance relays and I have come to the conclusion that X10 is old technology which should be taken out behind the shed and put down.  It looks like noise on my power lines is causing the appliance relays to turn 'ON' whenever they feel like.  LMCE is not the cause.  I'll need to try ZWave or Insteon some time I've got disposable cash.

-= Network Map =
-*This map may seem rather complicated at first but is built this way out of necessity.  I had a pre-existing network which serves my parents and my wife and I.  The existing network had to remain stable throughout my learning curve with LMCE and could not be down for a 4 hour re-install, or more...  As I am able, and stability permits, I will migrate devices to the LMCE network.
-*The Ubuntu NAS exists within both networks to serve files to PCs in the original network as well as the LMCE network, it's also my original Mythtv backend.
-*The laptops attach wirelessly to the LMCE network to run Windows Orbiter.

-*Edit the network settings in webadmin, remove .129 from valid address as this is set statically in my AP.
+*Add the following to /etc/pluto/xine.conf to enable 5.1 PCM over hdmi (and therefor multichannel AAC).
-*Update (create) /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy to point to my NAS/server running an updated build of apt-cacher-ng which is endlessly more stable than the version in Ubuntu 0810

+*sqlCVS asynchronous commits, PK/FK misalignment
-*MySQL optimizations/find out why my A/V datagrid queries take 6 seconds to execute, add indexes (where applicable) and find out why UpdateMedia is constantly updating the database tables when my media isn't changing.

+= Useful Commands / Processes =
-**Updated xorg and intel driver work great but mouse and keyboard events are not picked up by orbiter.
