Thanks for the great script! I tried it today, and I ran into the issue where i had to apt-get remove the plugins to get mythfrontend to startup... i'm running the script again now, hopefully that will take care of it

ok, my second run of the script completed... like the previous poster, i had to " mv libmythphone.so libmythphone.so.disabled " after the script finished in order for mythfrontend to load...

Good deal, I'm glad you like it. Are you running R5E50? and did you use dwaine's modified version?
Thanks!

Nope, i'm running R5A30.1. I didn't try dwaine's modified version, should I? I did notice now i dont have mythmusic. Do i have to get that seperately via svn?

dwaines version is only for R5E50. I'm not sure why your not getting mythmusic, it might not be enabled in configure.
Do this:
cd mythplugins/
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-all

Then see what it says about mythmusic.

Aha! that showed me the problem... "MythMusic requires taglib." I ran
apt-get install libtag1 libtag1-dev and then make and now i'm back in business! thanks for your help!

Excellent script, thank you.

I need to "upgrade" to trunk to get some features missing from this release. I thought I would build new debs with checkinstall, remove the "original" debs and install the new ones.

Before I do this however, I thought I would make sure I could reinstall the "default" R5E50 debs if needed (in my experience, things don't always go smoothly, and this is the best way to get back to "working" when you run out of time).

If I look at /usr/local/bin/install-i586, I find:


However, the /usr/src/mythtv/i586 directory does not exist.

Was it removed from R5E50? Does anybody know where to get the debs?
I looked in ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/pkgs, but these are "old" versions

Here is the newest version of the script that I use with R5F1. I changed the --enable-dts option to --enable-libdts. Works great!!

edit: used sh mythsvn.sh head

Are you using the trunk or svn-fixes? If you dont know than you are using the trunk. I use the trunk and "--enable-libdts" works for me.

I've run this script successfully on one build, it errors out on a Asus Pundit P1-AH2 running F1 without problems for a few months.

This is the error I see.



Any way around this? TIA

Well, it worked for me. Sorta. I'm running R5F1, and I used this to upgrade to the latest trunk release. Except, I'm having the following issues:

* When I go into mythtv-setup, and go into option #6, Storage Directories, I get a segfault, and back to the shell I immediately go.

* MythWeb is all screwed up. When I go to Listings, I get no listings. When I try to schedule something, I get an error at the bottom of the page saying something about cant find storage groups (which obviously, I havnt setup, since it segfaults)... and there is no button to "save" my new attempted recording.



Anyone have any thoughts? This is an Asus mobo, an Athlon XP 3000+, 2gb of RAM, an 80gb HDD for the system, and a 250gb HDD for recordings. Its a backend/frontend combo box, SVIDEO out to my 27" CRT TV.

Thanks!

Okay, ignore the last post. I wiped the SVN directory, and tried again, and now the segfault issue disappeared. Must have been an issue with that version of SVN I had, for that day.

I still had the MythWeb issues, so I wiped the /var/www directory, copied all the files over from the svn plugins directory, edited the config file and copied it into /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and viola, all is now perfect with my MythTV box again!

THANKS!

I noticed I'm getting this option for XVMC libs. I have a nvidia card and was wondering if this is actually correct.

# Video Output Support
x11 support yes
xrandr support yes
xv support yes
XvMC support yes
XvMC VLD support yes
XvMC pro support no
XvMC OpenGL sup. no
XvMC libs -lXvMCW
OpenGL video yes
Mac acceleration no
OpenGL vsync yes
DirectFB yes

With mplayer svn I'm getting this when configuring. Should I not get XvMCNVIDIA with mythtv?

Checking for XvMC ... yes (using XvMCNVIDIA)

Got this working with a slight tweak: From dwaine post on page 6 I had to modify the script slight to work for my machine on a clean install of R5F1. Removed:
grep 'Athlon(tm) 64' /proc/cpuinfo >/dev/null && EXTRA_OPTS="--arch=athlon"
and all other instances of $EXTRA_OPTS

Of course since my machine is not an AMD this makes a lot of sense. I'm a newbie at this, but from what little I can tell is that the "grep 'Athlong"...command does not put out a completly empty string...at least when I pipe this to a file I get one, invisible? null?, character in the file.

It's working; I'm in heaven...gory details below in case anybody is curious....I am NOT asking for help; only posting details in case it helps anybody else out there...Big thanks to the community/forum!!!
