chris i really like this. Thanks for sharing it. if youre looking to add anything else can i suggest themes like project graham.. and k9copy. I modified the optical disk menu to add a button for k9copy .. which works well.

if you let me know how you installed k9copy together with the button you added for the optical menu ill try and do a script for it. i have added a button for reburning myth archive images handy if they've failed or you want two copys. so a script to add your button two should not be to difficult.

Knoppmyth appeared to already have all the dependencies for k9copy. I have no idea if this is the best way to do things, but this is what i did.
Firstly, in sources.list, i # out all the repositories except
Code: deb http://ftp.debian.org stable main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main
then (i wasnt able to apt-get anything until i installed the missing key.. so i apt-key add– first) Code: apt-get update apt-get install k9copy
this installed k9copy to /usr/bin/k9copy I just created a backup of optical_menu.xml located in /usr/share/mythtv and added the following between the buttons i wanted Code: <button> <type>DVD_COPY</type> <text>Copy DVD</text> <action>EXEC /usr/bin/k9copy</action> </button>
After i restarted mythtv, the menu included the additional button and k9copy worked. its probably not very elegant though.

Chris,
I am running R5F1 and would like to add your script to my new setup - I have followed your instructions but it will not auto run off the web - Where i am getting messed up is the -q -0. it has a problem with the -0 parameter something like a Invalid argument i am typing your script into XTERM as root. I have managed to download the script to the machine without the -q or -0 parameters but i cannot figure out how to install once it downloads on the machine.
What am i doing wrong?
Like i said I am a newb to Knoppmyth but have a few questions.
1. is there a way to copy and paste to XTERM?
2. How can a person see the actual file system in Knoppmyth?
Thanks
AJ

Chris Jeez Newb here, I found out how to copy and paste it's the middle mouse button - It worked and brought up the script - and i installed what i wanted it said at the begining that it might not be supported with R5F1 but i will reboot and then give feedback. Question 2 is still valid i have scoured the forums and come up dry for question 2 is this possible?
Cheers
AJ

One easy way I use is with samba. I watch the knoppmyth box on my tv while I sit on the couch with a laptop running ubuntu..but windows would work just as well.
In my /etc/samba/smb.conf file I have a few entries at the bottom I frequently comment out/uncomment to share things. The most common one I'm toggling it /myth or /tmp. from there it is easy for me to see what is going on when I don't know for sure....or to copy a file from the mythtv box to another machine to see if it works on another machine, etc.
Just remember if you share directories like that it is a good idea to turn off the share when you're done tinkering.

OK the script is there I can see it from my MBE, but not the SBE. Anyone have a quick clue? Does removing some of the mysql or apache stuff hose the script?

Can you ping the host (where the script resides) from the SBE? Does it resolve to the same IP as it does when you ping it from the MBE?

No it wouldn't ping the host from my SBE, but I could from my MBE. Something must be screwie in the SBE, I can ping in my home network but not out.

See if you can ping via IP address. If so, then it's likely a DNS issue.
