mythnuv2mkv. Convert MythTV nuv files to mkv, mp4 or avi files

Submitted by auric on Mon, 08/10/2007 - 20:19.
in

Converts MythTV nuv or mpg files to mkv, mp4 or avi files. It can be run as a MythTV User Job or at command line to convert MythTV recordings or stand alone files. The converted recordings can either replace the nuv/mpg one or be copied to another location. If this other location is under the MythVideoDir, in MythTV < 0.21, imdb will be searched, a MythVideo db entry created and a coverfile file created if one was not available at imdb. In MythTV >=0.22 no action taken. Create your metadata entry with the standard MythVideo menu.

Fedora 10 to 12 Upgrade

Just went through the fun process of upgrading from Fedora 10 to 12.
Used the preupgrade method and had a few issues.

lircm and serial receiver under Fedora 10

Submitted by auric on Mon, 02/03/2009 - 20:00.
in

31 Dec 2009. Update. Just upgraded to Fedora 12 and serial lirc seems to be completely broken now. Have bit the bullet and moved to a MCE USB receiver which works nicely.

Xorg under Fedora 10 uses hal and evdev to automatically load the keyboard and mouse. This only works with hardware the kernel can find, which does not include serial lirc hardware.
There are two options to fix this.

  1. Amend the hal properties.
    mkdir /etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user
    create file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-lirc_serialmouse.fdi
    containing (change device and options as appropriate)

Lirc serial transmitter (ir blaster) under Fedora 10

Submitted by auric on Sun, 01/03/2009 - 21:37.

31 Dec 2009. Update. Just upgraded to Fedora 12 and serial lirc seems to be completely broken now. Have bit the bullet and moved to a MCE USB receiver which works nicely.

Finally updated my system to Fedora 10 and although not painless, was not to bad.
Under Fedora 8 I was installing lirc from ATrpms http://atrpms.net/.
Lirc is not provided by ATrpms for Fedora 10 as it comes with Fedora. ps, after a upgrade from Fedora 8 you will have to manually remove (rpm -e) the ATrpms fedora 8 lirc rpm's and install the Fedora, Fedora 10 ones.

mythtv frontend remote control

tkmythtv_ctl.pl A perl Tk GUI to the mythtv telnet control interface.
This is probably not that useful, was more a exercise in learning some perl Tk programing. However here it is in case it is useful to someone.

Current Version: 1.2

See the help button for usage.
For some reason the mythtv telnet control interface stops working when mythvideo is used, so it won't work with that.

Required Applications

  1. Perl Tk
    Fedora rpm perl-Tk

  2. Net-UPnP http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-UPnP/

Tweet what your watching and or recording

Submitted by auric on Sat, 20/12/2008 - 18:05.

Also see Run a command at start or end of a recording/playing/jobs

To tweet (twitter) what you are watching install monitor-twitter.pl into a directory in your PATH. This needs to be run in the background. In Gnome you can add it to System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Sessions. But just adding the command as is will result in an extra one being run on each login as it does not get killed on logout. Therefore we need to wrap it in a script to ensure only one is running.

Compiling XBMC on Fedora 8 & 10

See http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_compile_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Fedora_...
For more up to date instructions.

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Fedora 10 so can confirm the below works for Fedora 10 also.

  1. Download XBMC
    svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/

  2. cd linuxport/XBMC
  3. export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql"
  4. ./configure -C --disable-debug

lircrc file with matching keys for MythTV, MPlayer, Xine, VLC, Rhythmbox

Submitted by auric on Sat, 06/12/2008 - 16:39.
in
Have spent quite some time setting up lircrc so that all the keys match between MythTV, MPlayer, Xine and VLC, and have reached a stage am quite happy with. It's not 100% functioning some stuff is still in progress. The names of my lirc remote and buttons will be different to yours so you will have to change these to match yours.

Compiling Boxee on Fedora 8 & 10

Feeling like a bit of a traitor to MythTV, but decided to take a look at Boxee as there is so much talk about it currently. The only Linux binaries for it are Ubuntu only, so had to build from source.

  1. Sign up at http://www.boxee.tv/. You then need to wait for a invite.
  2. Download and extract the source to a directory.
    (Version boxee-source-0.9.3921, boxee-0.9.5.4497-source, boxee-0.9.6.4578 boxee-source-4826)

  3. export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/mysql
  4. autoconf
  5. For boxee-0.9.14.6992-sources (I can't get sound to work, may just be my system or a problem with the build)

OSD notification of recording start, RSS, email, irc, twitter

Submitted by auric on Sun, 28/09/2008 - 16:51.

Also see Run a command at start or end of a recording/playing/jobs

This will display a message on the screen when a recording starts, RSS feeds, email arrival, almost anything you want. By default it will display using the MythTV osd (ticker) if you are playing a recording with the internal play, or with xosd if you are not.

Current Version: V1.8, V1.6, V1.8, V1.2, V1.5

  1. Make pipe "mknod /tmp/.monitor-pipe-send-osd p"

Tinny sound on ivtv under kernel 2.6.24

Submitted by auric on Tue, 06/05/2008 - 20:35.

Since upgrading to Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.24) have been experiencing "tinny" sound from my Hauppauge PVR-150 card. This uses the ivtv driver. Had the same problem about 18 months ago and after a bit of a search found somewhere that re-setting the audio input via ivtvctl fixes the problem. ivtv has moved on since then and audio input is now controlled with v4l2-ctl. However the same basic solution fixes the current problem also.

(Replace /dev/video1 with your video device for your card. i.e. /dev/video0 for first capture card, /dev/video1 for second capture card)
