mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg
delete from music_directories;delete from music_genres;delete from music_artists;delete from music_albums;delete from music_albumart;delete from music_songs;
and then reload all the music files by :Utilities/Setup – Music Tools (which then rescans the files)
Aim : Use 1 computer for two tasks : a) Desktop for GF to use as a regular linux machine (web browsing, photos, etc)b) Completely independent MythTV set-up, with the output going to the TV.
Also, the set-up has to be turn-key, with both sessions logging in automatically (goodbye gdm).
There’s a lot going on for this [...]
After upgrading to FC9, the previously working serial port channel-changer (bought from IRblaster.info) stopped working. None of the configuration had changed.
In addition to the serial port transmitter, there’s a receiver on the PVR350 card – handled by lirc_i2c
After much searching, an additional option came to light : softcarrier=1.
Here are the relevant parts of a [...]
Add a lighttpd configuration file in /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/lighttpd-myth.conf (where my machine hostname is ‘americas’ on the local network) :#! /bin/bash # Just for SciTE language hint
$HTTP["host"] == “myth.americas” { var.root=”/var/www/html/mythweb” server.document-root = var.root

Email me for the gory details (for FC7) – but see a more up-to-date post for the same thing (much cleaner) in Fedora 9.

Upgrade to 2.6.22 seems to break *everything* in the ivtv suite. It all disappeared from the rpms, so we need to install from source.
ivtv
ivtv-fb
ivtv-xdriver
ivtvfbctl (now gone)
In particular, some web posts indicate that support for the PVR-350 has been eliminated somehow. This doesn’t seem to be completely true – but maybe there’s a problem [...]
Aim :
Enable a lightly used Linux machine to additionally host a MythTV video card.
Major Issues :
Upgrade to 2.6.22 breaks *everything* :
ivtv
ivtv-fb
ivtv-xdriver
ivtvfb-ctl (now gone)
Want to have two independent displays (two simultaneous X servers running)
Complex /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Need to use evdev to have dual keyboards
Toy with /etc/gdm/custom.conf (not necessary, hardly working)
Added a Belkin wireless keyboard (from woot.com)
Set up special [...]
