I'll add that the radio feature would be great. I was able to get this working, but it is a hack and is missing features like: being able to record the radio stream, scheduling recordings and passing a flag to make sure Myth knows that the tuner is busy. I do like the menu tie-in better then the MythMusic implementation.

Sorry, but not patch for an older version of MythTV will be included. Someone needs to commit to bring the patch current and keeping it current.

Maybe I explained it wrong... I have DVDs that have .avi files on them. When I was running R5D1, I could put one of these DVDs in the drive, scan for video files, and then have the video files show up in MythVideo in a folder labeled cdrom or something like that. I actually had MythVideo setup to scan for new files, so if I put a disk in and launched MythVideo I could access the videos on the DVD.

Did I somehow accidentally get this to work?

The reason I want this functionality back(?) is because this works really well for archiving old TV Shows. I just put them on DVDs as .avi (fit a lot on a disk) and then when you want to go back to them you just pop the DVD in the drive. I even printed the DVDs with little MythTV logos on them

Add support for those of us with iTunes, iPods, iMacs and such to the KnoppMyth distribution.

Install Avahi to add Rendezvous support.

Install Firefly Media Server (aka: mt-daapd) to serve your iTunes library.

reference: http://www.fireflymediaserver.org and http://wiki.mt-daapd.org/wiki/Quickstart_Debian


edit /etc/mt-daapd.conf and modify this line:


Get script to import iTunes XML library playlists into the MythTV music database.

I have no idea... Today with MythTV, if you have media monitor enabled when a DVD is inserted MythGallery will start. You can then play the AVIs. There is also a script included with R5F27 that will import any files on a C/DVD to /myth/video.

I would love to see the miro (Democracy Player) on there I now it is there now but a couple of versions behind so it doesn't really work anymore. It is now 1.0.

Long live Myth and Knoppmyth!!!!!

I'd like to see a higher level of xorg log verbosity by default in R6:

I think the addition of feature/program would be beneficial because:

I recently bought an HDTV and it was a bit of a battle finding a 1920x1080p 50Hz modeline that actually worked properly (no judder when playing back PAL DVB recordings). Many of the modelines I tried were being rejected by xorg and the log file didnt say why. Also, modelines that I thought were 50hz were showing judder suggesting that the TV was still refreshing at 60 Hz. In the end I found out how to increase the verbosity in the Xorg log file and it not only told my why it was rejecting modelines what the vertical refresh for each modeline was and it also told me all of the details of the EDID modelines that were being reported by the TV. Then it was a simple matter of selecting the 1920x1080 5ohz modeline that the tv wanted and i'm in high def judder free bliss. I have since added the tv model and modeline to the mythtv modeline database wiki.

To increase the verbosity, change the command in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to be:

Greg, I think that's a great idea and it'd be a great hint to add to one of the wiki pages on X troubleshooting...

Greg,

Does it revert to normal logging after a reboot?

No. Of course not. If you change the config file it will stay changed. Why would you think otherwise?

Besides it's not like we're talking about Mb of output here, at boot time it's 25Kb versus 32Kb with an additional 3 lines of output whenever you change video modes. Fairly small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.

Well was really just thinking of running the command ....

Hi,
I would like to see firestarter installed out of the box. apt-get install firestarter It comes up running as soon as it is installed and makes the KM machine immediately invisible. Then if Human were to wield a little of his magic sed and add access to it in the sudoers list to allow the mythtv user to change settings if desired. I simply have to do sudo firestarter from an xterm.

Paranoid? probably, but cautious at least. There are over 27,000 forum members now and I think it safe to venture that MOST have built at least ONE KM machine or are about to give it a go. Sadly, not all will put it behind a firewall which could leave a potential for abuse not that anyone on the internet would even think of such a dastardly deed.

Cecil, Dale, tjc, Human and many others have put a lot of work and resources into making KM what is today. It would be sad to have it show up in digg, slashdot or the local news that a hacked KM box was being used for something immoral, illegal, or fatting. This can easily happen because someone unknowingly connects their NEW, unprotected KM machine directly on line.

Locking out root and mythtv user was an excellent first step

Mike

Firestarter looks decent. But it would beneficial to also include ip_conntrack* in /etc/modules by default too.

Also: I am attempting to get MythFM working as a plugin, but I'm running into some mutex difficulties. If there are any programmers on here that can and are willing to assist me, please contact me.

I like that mythtv-status script. I wish I had something like that long ago.

this is a feature request thread right... so therefore i request even though im sure many wouldnt agree with....

i think the option at install to install a more complete desktop rather than fluxbox. such as gnome. would be great.

although i agree that the fluxbox hotkeys are very useful.

i accept that (enjoy that) km is designed to be used as a pvr and not a computer.. which is great. but as i find gnome useful and handy, as i don't like doing everything through the command line... im a mac user... im simply not used to doing everything through a command line and it seems unnecessarily unintuitive to me. xterm will always be there for things that need to be done via command line.

i wont bother with a link, as im sure there are would be a variety of issues involved.

thanks for asking for feature requests...

You're right there.

I've absolutely no use for a desktop. I don't have a mouse or
a keyboard attached to my KM box, what would I do with Gnome?

Without a keyboard? Not really.

I'm a little baffled by what "things" you're doing that you
would prefer to do via Gnome-on-your-TV? For the 99% things I
do with my TV the remote works fine. For the other 1% there's
MythWeb and ssh.

It sounds to me like you've chosen the wrong distro. If you
want a normal desktop with MythTv running on it, You should be
running a normal desktop distro with MythTv installed on it.
Something like Ubuntu with MythTv?
