Note about HVR2250 from mailing list
 +
 +
The modules for the HVR-2250 card work properly only when loaded in the
 +
correct stack order. Unfortunately, due to some weird set of conditions,
 +
that does not happen. I had some recordings where the sound is very
 +
'muddy' and muffled. I have not had that since I started forcing the
 +
correct load order: that is, *I* do it, by a script.
 +
One weird bit is that you have to 'unstack' the modules in the correct
 +
(wrong) order.
 +
Here is the chunk of script from my rc.local file which gets called at
 +
the end of bootup.
 +
# These steps are required to install the modules in the correct order
 +
modprobe -r tda18271
 +
modprobe -r s5h1411
 +
modprobe -r saa7164
 +
modprobe -r s5h1411
 +
modprobe -r tda18271
 +
modprobe -r s5h1411
 +
echo "  Ignore FATAL error messages above if next lines are empty"
 +
lsmod | grep tad18271
 +
lsmod | grep s5h1411
 +
lsmod | grep saa7164
 +
echo "  No output means modules were properly unloaded"
 +
modprobe  tda18271
 +
modprobe  s5h1411
 +
modprobe  saa7164
 +
echo "  Modules re-loaded in proper order"
 +
The *ANALOG* module is the saa7164 and must be last.
 +
THEN and only THEN, you can restart myth.
 +
So the script kills any existing myth programs, and restarts the service:
 +
result=`ps -ae | grep mythbackend`
 +
out=`echo $result | awk '{ print $4}'`
 +
if [ "$out" = "mythbackend" ] ; then
 +
      killall mythbackend
 +
      killall mythlogserver
 +
      killall mythcommflag
 +
      killall mythfrontend
 +
      rm -f /run/mythtv/backend.pid
 +
      echo "Killed existing processes"
 +
#    echo "Now ready to start mythbackend, with
 +
/lib/systemd/system/mythbackend.service;"
 +
fi
 +
#/usr/bin/systemctl status mysqld.service
 +
/usr/bin/systemctl start mythbackend.service
 +

Antenna Rotor Script
 +
I use this rotor controller with my Tivo, and I've created an lircd.conf file for this. I guess I never sent it in. It's attached. irrecord did
 +
afairly good job, but I looked up the specs for the chip and made the values accurate. I also added a command called noop which does nothing, but will
 +
turn it on if it isn't. It acts as a discrete on.
 +
I also wrote a bash script, attached which can take advantage of every function the controller is capable of. for example rotor -c 22 turns to the
 +
direction stored for channel 22. Hopefully it all makes sense. If you have questions or modifications to the script, I'd be very interested in them.
 +
Best of luck with your project. I had a lot of fun with mine. Hope I didn't do too much of it for you already.

I am hoping to use the following IR remote controlled antenna rotor with
 +
MythTV: http://www.starkelectronic.com/cmmatv.htm (first item on the
 +
page). My goal will be for MythTV to, via LIRC, send an IR command to the
 +
rotor controller whenever the channel is changed so that the antenna
 +
points in the direction optimal for that channel.
 +
Expectedly, I do not see an existing lircd.conf for this remote, so I
 +
assume I have to create one myself. Has anybody used LIRC with this rotor
 +
controller? If so, it would be great if I could get a copy of your
 +
lircd.conf so I only have to build an IR receiver for my computer. Also,
 +
if I have to create my own lircd.conf, what are my chances of irrecord
 +
sucessfully creating one for me?
 +
I don't mean to sound like a n00b, but I have not tinkered with LIRC much
 +
in the past.
 +
Thanks,
 +
Jason

SQL Profiling script

Please remember to put the password for your admin user at the point marked XXX.
The script waits for the SQL load to get over 75% then starts to dump
a file called sqlload'timestamp' to your Desktop, it stops when the
load falls back below 75%.
If a few users could run it for testing it would be useful, it ONLY
starts to dump when load is > 75%
#!/bin/sh

Note about HVR2250 from mailing list 

The modules for the HVR-2250 card work properly only when loaded in the 
correct stack order. Unfortunately, due to some weird set of conditions, 
that does not happen. I had some recordings where the sound is very 
'muddy' and muffled. I have not had that since I started forcing the 
correct load order: that is, *I* do it, by a script.
One weird bit is that you have to 'unstack' the modules in the correct 
(wrong) order.
Here is the chunk of script from my rc.local file which gets called at 
the end of bootup. 
# These steps are required to install the modules in the correct order
modprobe -r tda18271
modprobe -r s5h1411
modprobe -r saa7164
modprobe -r s5h1411
modprobe -r tda18271
modprobe -r s5h1411
echo "  Ignore FATAL error messages above if next lines are empty"
lsmod | grep tad18271
lsmod | grep s5h1411
lsmod | grep saa7164
echo "  No output means modules were properly unloaded"
modprobe  tda18271
modprobe  s5h1411
modprobe  saa7164
echo "  Modules re-loaded in proper order"
The *ANALOG* module is the saa7164 and must be last.
THEN and only THEN, you can restart myth.
So the script kills any existing myth programs, and restarts the service:
result=`ps -ae | grep mythbackend`
out=`echo $result | awk '{ print $4}'`
if [ "$out" = "mythbackend" ] ; then
     killall mythbackend
     killall mythlogserver
     killall mythcommflag
     killall mythfrontend
     rm -f /run/mythtv/backend.pid
     echo "Killed existing processes"
#    echo "Now ready to start mythbackend, with 
/lib/systemd/system/mythbackend.service;"
fi
#/usr/bin/systemctl status mysqld.service
/usr/bin/systemctl start mythbackend.service
/usr/bin/systemctl status mythbackend.service

Antenna Rotor Script 

I use this rotor controller with my Tivo, and I've created an lircd.conf file for this. I guess I never sent it in. It's attached. irrecord did 
afairly good job, but I looked up the specs for the chip and made the values accurate. I also added a command called noop which does nothing, but will
turn it on if it isn't. It acts as a discrete on.
I also wrote a bash script, attached which can take advantage of every function the controller is capable of. for example rotor -c 22 turns to the 
direction stored for channel 22. Hopefully it all makes sense. If you have questions or modifications to the script, I'd be very interested in them.
Best of luck with your project. I had a lot of fun with mine. Hope I didn't do too much of it for you already.

I am hoping to use the following IR remote controlled antenna rotor with
MythTV: http://www.starkelectronic.com/cmmatv.htm (first item on the
page). My goal will be for MythTV to, via LIRC, send an IR command to the
rotor controller whenever the channel is changed so that the antenna
points in the direction optimal for that channel.
Expectedly, I do not see an existing lircd.conf for this remote, so I
assume I have to create one myself. Has anybody used LIRC with this rotor
controller? If so, it would be great if I could get a copy of your
lircd.conf so I only have to build an IR receiver for my computer. Also,
if I have to create my own lircd.conf, what are my chances of irrecord
sucessfully creating one for me?
I don't mean to sound like a n00b, but I have not tinkered with LIRC much
in the past.
Thanks,
Jason
