how to get the IR Remote working with TvTime application. I have installed lirc package from synaptic,but dont know how to configure it. IR sensor is connected to TV Card(in PCI slot).Does this needs to be detected first by Ubuntu.if yes,waht command to use to verify its detection?? The remote came with the TV Card(Philips saa7130 chipset)
View 9 RepliesI migrated back from Maverick because I couldn't get Tvtime to work because /dev/mixer is no longer created in 10.10 so no volume control from within tvtime. I'm now back to 10.04. The issue that I'm having is that I have 4 devices that show up as /dev/mixer, /dev/mixer1,/dev/mixer2 and /dev/mixer3. I need to have tvtime use the mixer associated with my soundblaster audigy card.
whenever I reboot, the order of these devices changes. Sometimes the soundblaster is assoaciated with /dev/mixer , sometimes it's /dev/mixer2 etc. Is there a way to ensure that the devices are always in the same place/order? On a related note, sometimes my usb webcam is video1 other times it's video0 , this also causes problems with tvtime. How can I ensure that my system is the same after each boot? I tried dev rules but couldn't get them to work properly.
When I run tvtime with the desktop effects enabled Xorg, compiz and tvtime use a lot of cpu. It's even worse with tvtime in full screen. This doesn't happen with the desktop effects off or when I use vlc for example. The system is a 3GHz P4 Prescott, 1.7GB Ram, Nvidia FX5500. I'm running 11.3 with the nvidia video driver (173.14.27).

I just amazed that ubuntu devs would just shut off this functionality that affects much more the just tvtime and not offer a viable alternative. Is there an alternative? I haven't been able to find after a week or so of googling.

What is the best one for a Intel Core I3? Is there a USB version that will work?My TV is hooked to a TIVO HD box that has a comcast cable card. Is the signal decrypted by the cable card and then is it just necessary to obtain the decrypted signal from the TIVO output?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get tvtime or any tv package to work with my Pinnacle PCTV HD usb but I have not had success. I have correctly installed every driver imaginable. So, here is what it what it comes down to: When I open tvtime it says "cannot open capture device /dev/video0" and the screen is blue. But my usb PCTV HD stick is NOT /dev/video0 so the question is how can I get tvtime to look for the usb tv tuner rather than video0?

I wan't to watch this with vlc, tv-viewer or other programs to record, but when it doesn't recognize anything!
After installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS over the weekend I had some problems, which I subsequently solved and thought I'd mention here.
- First, the dreaded Low Graphics (EE)NOUVEAU(0):Error allocating scanout buffer:-12 which wouldn't allow me to change my monitor resolution.
- Second, TVTime television viewer would not launch at all.
Solution to BOTH of these problems:
From Synaptic uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (experimental) and reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nv.
Now everything works!
I have winfast tv200 expert tv-tuner. I am using TvTime to watch tv through it. verything is working fine except that sound continues to come even after i quit tvtime. is there any solution for it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedTvtime built in volume control stopped working in maverick because it depends on kernel support of Open Sound System (oss) and ubuntu kernels are no longer compiled with this turned on.
You can get an experimental deb of tvtime for maverick here:[URL]
which will work with ALSA sound system.
Here is a partial solution I found on the Russian Ubuntu board by Alexandris if you cannot get the above deb to work for you:
tvtime configuration file at /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml will allow you to reassign the left and right arrow keys to control whole system volume level while tvtime is running.
Make the following changes in tvtime.xml:
1. comment out existing left and right keybindings by enclosingg them with '<!--', '-->' tags:
Code:
<!--
<bind command="left">
<keyboard key="left"/>
<keyboard key="-"/>
[Code]....
3. save changes to tvtime.xml and start tvtime in a terminal window and see if there is any error messages. The Russian Ubuntu board recommended using "amixer -c default" , but I had to change mine to "amixer -c 0" (the number of my sound card) to get things to work. You might have to do the same...
Just installed squeeze from previous Lenny and am having problems. With Lenny, for the tv card, needed: the modudule saa7134 card=54 tuner=78, i.e. had to give it the card= tuner= stuff - it could not autodetect that bit. Squeeze appears the same:
Code:
[ 5.055340] saa7133[0]: subsystem: 17de:7253, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected]
So, question, how do I give it the module options? - the problem is 'modconf' will not unload the saa7134 module because it says it is in use, even though the TV is not being used. And # modprobe saa7134 card=54 tuner=78 does not appear to do anything - it does not say anything but nothing shows on dmesg. Here is how tvtime, a fairly fool proof tv player, behaves:
Code:
root@fido:/home/lugo# tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml

I have been using Tvtime for several years and never had trouble with the video until now. Now it opens, but it's frozen. There is no picture and no sound, just a black screen that I can't control in any way. Even to close it, I have to go through the terminal. There are no error messages, however.
I can still get channels using Mplayer, so the tuner should not be the problem. However, it is an Hauppauge 950.
I was using Ubuntu Lucid on both partitions. Initially, one quit, but not the other. About a month later the other quit while I was watching which makes me think it may be something I have simply hit on the keyboard. I have since upgraded to Maverick on one and reinstalled Tvtime to no avail.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm on Fedora 13 (64 bit) and using tvtime (latest version 1.0.2-13.fc13 installed via yum) which I've managed to get to work with my old WinTV card (bt878 chipset I think) by having it start with its mixer-device set to "hw:0/Line" (the WinTV card outputs the sound via a cable to the Line In socket of the soundcard).
This all works (I can control the volume in tvtime using the left and right keys) except that the volume resets to zero every time I restart. tvtime remembers all my other settings (and the previous volume is even saved in its config file) so I think the issue is related to ALSA/PulseAudio resetting the appropriate mixer (Line In on the internal sound card).
However, I can't find which mixer tvtime is accessing. In 'Sound Preferences', changing the Master Volume affects the sound from tvtime, but none of the other mixers seem to be related to it (and tvtime doesn't appear on the 'Applications' list). I've also tried finding it in alsamixer, which gives me a choice of 'default' (PulseAudio), 'HDA Intel' (the internal sound card) and 'Brooktree Bt878' (the TV capture card) and again the 'Master' and 'Front' mixers do affect the sound, but are not the mixer that tvtime is accessing.
I know this is a very specific and minor thing, but it's a bit annoying seeing as I've got everything else set up near-perfectly.
Or alternately, as a workaround, is there an easy way of creating a script to lanuch tvtime and send some volume up commands (right arrow key) the first time it is run after a restart (but not the times after that)?

Ever since I upgraded to Slackware 13.1, my previously functional pcHDTV card worked fine. Since the upgrade, however, I get nothing from tvtime except a blue screen and "No Signal."
I saw this thread, which led me to try rmmod'ing related modules for video4linux and my card, but modprobe'ing everything back in didn't solve the issue.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and am trying to get lirc to recognize my pcusa mce remote control. I have been working on this for a week and have not had any success. Please note that I am very new to Linux. I am comfortable moving around in the terminal but most of anything else that I do in the terminal is just following instructions.
This is the remote that I am using:
[URL]
When I run
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I do not see anything that could be the remote. I have tried plugging the USB receiver into my Ubuntu 10.10 net book but it doesn't see the receiver either. I do not have a windows machine that I can test the remote on but I plugged the receiver into my iMac and I did get a red LED lit that I haven't seen on the Ubuntu machines.
When I run irw and press buttons on the remote I see nothing on the terminal.
When I run:
sudo mode2
I get:
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
I have tried mode2 both with lirc running and stopped and I get the same response either way.
I have confirmed that there is no /dev/lirc but there is a lircd in /dev (it's not a directory). Also I had read somewhere that lirc doesn't work under Ubuntu 10.10. Is that the case?
I have a Laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 and a Netbook with Remix 10.04. I'm trying to connect by Remote Desktop from the Laptop to the Netbook. Remote Desktop wasn't installed by default in Remix so I installed it via software centre. I then configured Remote desktop in both machines. When I do Connect on the laptop all I get is a black screen and then it closes with the message "Connection to host was Closed". This happens when I try either VNC or SSH. The other thing that's odd, although both machines are on the same WLAN and I checked "configure networkautomatically to accept connections" on both machines, the Laptop doesn't find the other machine in Remote Desktop. What am I/have I done wrong or have I ommitted something?
