+ | ==Remote Control (Lircd)== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can create a Symlink to correct input device using the following UDEV rule: | ||
+ | create update: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules | ||
+ | |||
+ | # DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 | ||
+ | KERNEL=="event*", \ | ||
+ | ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Dvico", \ | ||
+ | ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fe9", \ | ||
+ | ATTRS{idProduct}=="db98", \ | ||
+ | SYMLINK="input/irremote" | ||
+ | |||
+ | The above creates a Symlink device call irremote which you can code in the LIRC config. | ||
+ | |||
+ | OR | ||
+ | |||
+ | This I found to be the most painful as I was using the wrong driver for a long time. But after i switched it became a breeze. Now on my system i have 2 /dev/input/events that work when you press a button. When i do a cat /dev/input/event3 and press the 0 key on the remote this happens: | ||
+ | |||
+ | cat /dev/input/event1 | ||
+ | 0000 | ||
+ | [Control-C to quit] | ||
+ | |||
+ | So it seems that this should be the one to use.... Unfortunately Not! Something else is parsing the input from your remote and is producing that like a keyboard entry. What you really want is something that produces binary gibberish when you press a button: | ||
+ | |||
+ | cat /dev/input/event5 | ||
+ | ����E� | ||
+ | �����E� | ||
+ | [Control-C to quit] | ||
+ | |||
+ | If your screen is mangled from catting out that then you can type "reset" to reset your terminal. So now that we have determined what device we should use it is time to see if we can record our key presses. We will be using the driver dev/input and not the driver dvico like I did for way to many days. | ||
+ | Another thing that may stop the following from working is if lircd is running. You can stop it by "/etc/init.d/lirc stop". | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Recording your remote control=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is here for reference or if you have a slightly different remote than mine. You can skip to mapping your remote if you just wish to use my generated files. Otherwise, to record the buttons on your remote do this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | irrecord --disable-namespace --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event5 out.txt | ||
+ | |||
+ | *snip* | ||
+ | Press RETURN to continue. | ||
+ | Hold down an arbitrary button. | ||
+ | ................................................................................ | ||
+ | Found gap length: 251753 | ||
+ | Now enter the names for the buttons. | ||
− | </ | + | You must get dots when holding down a key and nothing else. If you don't get dots or other symbols are showing up then you either have a driver problem or are using the wrong input. Otherwise out.txt will hold all your keys. |
+ | |||
+ | If you have come this far then your remote is working like a charm. Time to map the keys and make lircd run automatically. This is done with 3 files: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Mapping your Remote=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | gedit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure you modify your DRIVER and DEVICE to be the same as you used for irrecord. I also changed START_LIRCMD=false for some reason. | ||

+ | Great Now we have to map these keys so that mythtv can use them. which brings us to our final file lircrc. You should save this file in your user directory as it is for personal mappings of the remote. | ||

Ubuntu 9.10 Installation on Foxcon 45CSX - Intel ATOM 330 CPU
This documentation is my working notes for installing the DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 onto an Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Distribution.
Hardware
I bought the following Setup on 20/11/2009 from http://www.gamedude.com.au. I dislike them because you have to wait so long in line to purchase and after sales service sucks but they do have a good selection of cases: An alternate source is http://www.umart.com.au but not as many cases.
- TV Card - DVico FusionHDTV DualDigital 4 Low profile - $149
- Micro ATX Motherboard - Foxconn 45csx Intel Atom 330 DualCore CPU Video Sound - $119
- Case - 65x265x300mm - AYWUN MD-100 Black Mirror Front Mini ITX Case External Power - $89
- Memory - TeamElite 2gig DDR2 800Mhz PC2 6400 CL5 - $59
- HardDrive - Samsung 1TB Sata-2 32meg Cache - $105
- DVD Burner - SONY SLIM Internal DVD-RW Drive BLACK 8x DVD+/-RW SATA - $79
- MOLEX TO SATA POWER + DATA CABLE 15CM - $12
- NetComm 802.11N Draft 2.0 Wirless USB Adaptor MODEL : NP910N - $59
- TOTAL - $671
The case only has 1 sata power connector and comes with very short sata cables not long enough to reach the hard drive. Which is why I bough the Molex->Sata Power+Sata Data adapter.
Kernel / Packages
Warning: After installing Ubuntu Karmic and logging into the gnome desktop the system suddenly froze. I suspect this is because of the intel graphics driver. After a bit of googling I found this solution:
After you log in hit: Ctrl-Alt-F1 to take you to a terminal before it freezes. Then log in to the terminal and type:
#killall compiz compiz.real
Hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to take you back to the altered gnome desktop. Open up a terminal and type
$metacity --replace
The problem is intel driver not behaving nicely with compiz.
Check your DVB TV Card
After you have a stable setup check the messages to make sure your card was detected:
#dmesg | grep -i dvb
dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 (rev 2)' in warm state. dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.

You should also see the directory's /dev/dvb/adapter0 /dev/dvb/adapter1
Check your CPU
The Atom 330 is a dual core processor with hyper-threading so you should see 4 processors:
$cat /proc/cpuinfo
The Intel Atom reports that it has multiple cores (and HyperThreading) via an ACPI message and will not fall back to another delivery mechanism (like most other platforms) if ACPI is not available.
Warning: If you don't see 4 processors like I did then you will need to add th line acpi=ht to your kernel parameters temporarily. For some reason I added this to my kernel and the processors showed up but the mythtv menu was unbelievably slow. I removed it and the menu returned to normal and to my astonishment the 4 processors were still detected. It sounds a bit voodoo to me but it worked. If you need to do this you can use the following commands to add then remove the kernel parameters.
$sudo gedit /etc/default/grub Change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=ht" $sudo update-grub $sudo reboot
If everything went well the your 4 processors should be detected using cat /proc/cpuinfo. Now try removing acpi=ht from grup using the above steps and see if the 4 processors are still available.
NetComm Wireless N NIC USB
Had a problem with the NetComm 802.11N NP910N not working but after a few searches found the solution. Add the following to the bottom of the usb blacklist file.
gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo reboot
Installing MythTV
- Go to: System > Administration > Synaptic - Mark all upgrades and Apply. This will take a while on your new system.
- Search "mythtv", then mark mythtv & mythplugins for installation. Yes to all and Apply.
- Give your mysql database a root password when asked.
Set up Myth TV
This is my quick and dirty setup. Leave the defaults for everything else (ie Next.. Next.. etc Finish).
- Run mythtv-setup - It should add you to the mythtv group and then log you out
- Run mythtv-setup again - (My screen stayed blank - so hit the up arrow after it starts to prompt it to refresh)
- Go into General > On the second page:
TV Format=PAL-BG Chanel Frequency Table=Australia Your Local TimeZone (for XMLTV)=Auto
- Go into Capture Card > New Capture Card
Card Type=DVB DVT Capture Card (3.x) DVB Device Number=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
- New Capture Card (for your second receiver)
Card Type=DVB DVT Capture Card (3.x) DVB Device Number=/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
- Go into Video Sources > New Video Source
Video Source Name=vs1 XMLTV Listings Grabber=No Grabber (we will use our own later!) Channel Frequency Table=Default
- Go Into Input connections > [DVB:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0](DVBInput)->(None)
Video Source=vs1 Press Scan For Channels
You should see all your channels being found. When it is finished -> Next -> Finish.
- Now do the second input > [DVB:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0](DVBInput)->(None)
Video Source=vs1 (You wont have to scan for chanels the second time -> Next -> Finish
Mythfrontend
- Open up mythfrontend to create the configuration files.
- Watch TV - Make sure your card is working
- Go to Utilities > Setup > Appearance
- Page 1
UI Theme: Whatever you want (personally MythCenter seems quicker to me)
- Page 4 - Localization
Date format: Oz format Short Date format: Oz format
Getting Your Australian Channel Listings
Most of the guides have recommended Shepherd however whilst providing good information this thing is a slug and will take ages to complete.
My personal preference is to use Oztivo. Oztivo is 100x faster than shepherd but doesn't provide extra indepth guide information. (Like looking up IMDB for movie information).
The following will give you a step by guide to setting up the Oztivo Guide.
Mapping the Channels
Firstly we need to set up our mapping from our guide data to our channels we found in our last step. Myth found 22 channels but a lot of those channels are repeated this is why we give the same xmltvid to the channels that are repeated. We can also remove visibility of those repeated channels if we desire.
- Open up firefox and go to http://localhost/mythweb.
- Mythtv settings (Key and Spanner Icon top of the screen) -> TV -> Chanel Info
- Enter in your xmltvid and new names:
xmltvid ch# callsign name Visibility 10-2 1 ONE HD ONE HD Yes 2-1 2 ABC1 ABC Yes 3-1 3 SBS ONE SBS Yes 7-1 7 7 Digital 7 Yes 9-1 9 Nine Digital 9 Yes 10-1 10 TEN Digital TEN Yes 10-2 11 ONE HD ONE HD Yes 10-2 12 ONE Digital ONE Yes 2-1 20 ABC HDTV ABC HD Yes 2-2 21 ABC1 ABC 2 Yes 2-1 22 ABC2 ABC Yes 2-1 23 ABC3 ABC Yes 3-1 30 SBS HD SBS HD No (no Signal) 3-1 32 SBS TWO SBS Yes 3-2 33 SBS 3 SBS NEWS Yes 3-1 34 SBS 4 SBS Yes 7-1 70 7 HD Digital 7 HD Yes 7-1 71 7 Digital 1 7 Yes 7-2 72 7TWO 7TWO Yes 7-1 73 7 Digital 3 7 Yes 9-1 90 Nine HD 9 HD Yes 9-2 99 GO! GO! Yes
Getting the Oztivo Guide Data
Background: The old method was to get your channels that you listed in xml format. However oztivo was having too much bandwidth/computational issues and decided to make their xml data static instead of dynamically generated. Unfortunately this makes getting the data a little more complicated than before. Luckily for us Auric had made a script to get the data.
- Head over to http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view/Guidedata/WebHome and Sign Up.
- Download the program, get the support modules and configure it:
$cd /usr/bin $sudo wget http://web.aanet.com.au/~auric/files2/tv_grab_oztivo $sudo apt-get install libxmltv-perl libconfig-general-perl libxml-simple-perl libemail-mime-perl $sudo chmod 755 tv_grab_oztivo $cd $tv_grab_oztivo --configure
Now go through the configuration skipping the first question and changing your path to the downloaded oztivo files:
Do you have a tv_grab_au or tv_grab_au_reg xmltv config file? If so enter FULL path to where it is ? oztivo username? Your_Sign_Up_Username oztivo password? Your_Sign_Up_Password Enter FULL path of directory to store downloaded oztivo files in? [/home/mythtv/.xmltv/sharedir] /home/bob/.xmltv
When you get to the xmltvid section place in the xmltvid from your mappings for the channel you want to download. eg 7TWO becomes 7-2:
*snip* xmltvid for 7CEN,Seven Central? xmltvid for 7TWO,7TWO? 7-2 xmltvid for A-PAC,Australia's Public Affairs Channel? *snip*
Finally it should spit out the following:
Added the following channels 7TWO 7-2 7TWO Yes ABC-Qld 2-1 ABC Qld Yes ABC2 2-2 ABC2 Yes GO 9-2 GO! Yes Nine-Qld 9-1 Nine Qld Yes One-Qld 10-2 One QLD Yes SBS-Qld 3-1 SBS Qld Yes SBSTWO-Qld 3-2 SBS TWO QLD Yes Seven-Bris 7-1 Seven Qld Yes Ten-Qld 10-1 Ten Brisbane Yes OK or start again? [OK|again] OK
Time to test out the script
$tv_grab_oztivo --mythfilldatabase 1 --output /tmp/oztivo.xml
That should probably take about 3 minutes. Check out your program guides:
- Go to Applications > Sound & Video > MythFrontend
- Manage Recordings > Schedule Recordings > Program Guide
If everything looks good we will add this to our crontab:
crontab -e
Add this line to the crontab. This will start the job at 3:36am.
36 03 * * * /usr/bin/tv_grab_oztivo --mythfilldatabase 1 --output /tmp/oztivo.xmltv
MythVideo
The default lookup inside the mythtv frontend couldnt find some of my video art. So Instead i used Jamu which is already included for us in the myth folder.
- First copy your video files to the mythtv videos folder and then run the jamu script in interactive mode
cp All_My_Videos /var/lib/mythtv/videos /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MIV
- Now open your frontend and go to Utilities Setup > Setup > Media Settings > Videos Settings > General Settings > Page 2/8 > Uncheck "Show Unkown File Types". This will prevent the gallery from showing your subtitle files (*.srt)
- Escape back to the Top Menu and go to Media Library > Watch Videos.
- Press <M> to bring up the internal menu and scan for changes.
- Press <I> to bring up the info panel where you can reset you metadata if something went wrong.
To get the latest version of Jamu.py cab be found here
I was having trouble browsing my Windows 7 shares. Turns out wins is not enabled by default.
sudo apt-get install smbfs winbind sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
Add wins to this line before dns:
sudo reboot

Remote Control (Lircd)
You can create a Symlink to correct input device using the following UDEV rule: create update: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
# DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 KERNEL=="event*", \ ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Dvico", \ ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fe9", \ ATTRS{idProduct}=="db98", \ SYMLINK="input/irremote"
The above creates a Symlink device call irremote which you can code in the LIRC config.
OR
This I found to be the most painful as I was using the wrong driver for a long time. But after i switched it became a breeze. Now on my system i have 2 /dev/input/events that work when you press a button. When i do a cat /dev/input/event3 and press the 0 key on the remote this happens:
cat /dev/input/event1 0000 [Control-C to quit]
So it seems that this should be the one to use.... Unfortunately Not! Something else is parsing the input from your remote and is producing that like a keyboard entry. What you really want is something that produces binary gibberish when you press a button:
cat /dev/input/event5 ����E� �����E� [Control-C to quit]
If your screen is mangled from catting out that then you can type "reset" to reset your terminal. So now that we have determined what device we should use it is time to see if we can record our key presses. We will be using the driver dev/input and not the driver dvico like I did for way to many days. Another thing that may stop the following from working is if lircd is running. You can stop it by "/etc/init.d/lirc stop".
Recording your remote control
This is here for reference or if you have a slightly different remote than mine. You can skip to mapping your remote if you just wish to use my generated files. Otherwise, to record the buttons on your remote do this:
irrecord --disable-namespace --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event5 out.txt
*snip* Press RETURN to continue. Hold down an arbitrary button. ................................................................................ Found gap length: 251753 Now enter the names for the buttons.
You must get dots when holding down a key and nothing else. If you don't get dots or other symbols are showing up then you either have a driver problem or are using the wrong input. Otherwise out.txt will hold all your keys.
If you have come this far then your remote is working like a charm. Time to map the keys and make lircd run automatically. This is done with 3 files:
Mapping your Remote
gedit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Make sure you modify your DRIVER and DEVICE to be the same as you used for irrecord. I also changed START_LIRCMD=false for some reason.
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # #Chosen Remote Control REMOTE="DViCO FusionREMOTE" REMOTE_MODULES="" REMOTE_DRIVER="dev/input" REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event5" REMOTE_SOCKET="" REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf" REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="" #Chosen IR Transmitter TRANSMITTER="None" TRANSMITTER_MODULES="" TRANSMITTER_DRIVER="" TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="" TRANSMITTER_SOCKET="" TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="" TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS="" #Enable lircd START_LIRCD="true" #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file #START_LIRCMD="false" #Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES="true" # Default configuration files for your hardware if any LIRCMD_CONF="" #Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration #If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application #that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive #frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER #It will then populate all other variables without any user input #If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure #to leave this set to "false" FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false" START_LIRCMD=""
gedit /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Ok since we have set up these two files lets check our work.
/etc/init.d/lirc restart ps aux | grep lircd
root 12671 0.0 0.0 2740 572 ? Ss 16:27 0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event5 root 12675 0.0 0.0 2796 748 pts/1 R+ 16:27 0:00 grep lircd
lircd is running with the correct driver and device. Ok let run irw and press some keys (Up, Ok and Start) on our remote
irw
0000000000010067 00 up DViCO_Dual_Digital 0000000000010160 00 ok DViCO_Dual_Digital 000000000001001c 00 start DViCO_Dual_Digital
Great Now we have to map these keys so that mythtv can use them. which brings us to our final file lircrc. You should save this file in your user directory as it is for personal mappings of the remote.

MythWeather
Pretty easy to set up and works of the Bom Website. For easier setup I would go to the bom website to look up your particular weather settings as the location for the Weather and Radar may be different. Make sure when you are setting up inside the Mythfrontend to use SI units.
cd /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts sudo rm -rf ca_envcan/ uk_bbc/ us_nws/ sudo wget http://web.aanet.com.au/~auric/files2/au_bom.zip sudo unzip au_bom.zip
