Cowbutt's MythTV Page

New system, post-January 2011

Based on my successful previous MythTV system I continued to use a combined frontend/backend, though I've since added frontends on my desktop PC and laptop for occasional use over my LAN and WLAN. My goals for my new system were to:

Add storage capacity
Use RAID for uptime, and some degree of availability
Add SATA, as PATA drives are now somewhat hard to buy, and unavailable in sizes over 500GB
Improve performance during DVD archiving
Improve recording and playback robustness from background tasks (e.g. mirroring, DVD archiving)
Provide for future HD capacity
Improve aesthetics (case, fan noise)

I don't have a HDTV, so I haven't yet invested in any HD sources (either a DVB-T2 card for FreeviewHD, or a BluRay drive).

I continued to base my configuration on Jarod C. Wilson's 'Fedora Myth(TV)ology' document.

Hardware Specification

Intel i5-760 4x2.80GHz CPU
4GB RAM
Asus P7H55 Motherboard (iH55 Express)
2xWestern Digital Caviar Black WD2001FASS 2TB discs
Sony Optiarc DDU1681S DVD-ROM (This drive is problematic with burnt DVD+Rs; I don't know if this is a problem with my specific drive, a firmware issue, or a hardware design issue. Back to Lite-On next time, I think!)
Sony Optiarc AD-7260S DVD+/-RW
Antec NSK-6582B case
1*Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T tuner
1*Hauppauge Nova-T-500 dual DVB-T tuner with Hauppauge infra-red remote control (Note that the Nova-T-500 needs to be configured quite carefully for reliable operation! A configuration checklist is included.)
1*D-Link quad-port NIC
Asus 7600GS Silent/HTD 256MB fanless VGA card (originally planned to use an Asus GT240 Silent/DI/1GB DDR3 card, but it can't output a 15kHz VGA signal. I'm using it elsewhere until I have a TV with DVI or HDMI input.)
home-built VGA-to-RGB SCART adaptor with integrated audio in/out and composite from SCART
2*PADIX/Rockfire PX-205 PSX-USB Bridge with two Logic-7 Playstation dual-shock gamepads
Ruwido/Chicony KB-9820 infra-red PS/2 keyboard/mousepad
Panasonic TX-28DTX11 100Hz DVB-T 16:9 TV
SLx 4-way UHF amplifier
Yamaha RX-V361 AV Receiver/Surround Decoder, linked via 3m TOSlink fibre

Software Specification

Fedora 14 running 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 kernel and standard video4linux drivers. This kernel revision appears to fully support the Nova-T-500, including the remote control, thus completely negating any reason to use out-of-tree v4l drivers from the mercurial repository. Note that previous Fedora kernels supported the Nova-T-500, but with no remote control support. The v4l drivers from the mercurial repository are reputed to be more stable with the Nova-T-500, but I experienced a couple of hard locks when running with a snapshot taken on 17 March 2008.
MythTV 0.24-fixes built as per RPMFusion's packages, but using a GIT snapshot dated January 12 2011.
pdnsd caching DNS server
privoxy ad-filtering HTTP proxy
DHCP daemon
netfilter/iptables firewall
NTP server
nVidia 256.53-1.fc14 drivers built using RPMFusion's src.rpm (later revisions are alleged to have serious problems, especially with VDPAU).
Xmame/Xmess 0.106, fceultra 0.98.13-0.7.pre.fc11, VisualBoyAdvance 1.7.2, zsnes 1.51-7, dgen-sdl 1.23
dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw firmware for Nova-T-500 (may need symlinks in /lib/firmware named dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw and dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw)

OS Configuration

Partitioning

/dev/sda1       2GiB /boot       ext4 on md RAID1 with /dev/sdb1
/dev/sda2     430GiB             RAID1 with /dev/sdb2, LVM PVs for / (20GiB, ext4), /home (5GiB, ext4), /srv/myth/emulators (89GiB, ext4), /srv/myth/music (60GiB, ext4), /var (9.9GiB, ext3),
                                  /var/spool (2GiB, ext4)
/dev/sda3      16GiB swap        configured round-robin with /dev/sdb3
/dev/sda4          - extended
/dev/sda5     350GiB             LVM PV for /downloads (135GiB, ext4), /srv/myth/video-filler0 (210GiB, ext4)
/dev/sda6    1065GiB             RAID1 with /dev/sdb6, LVM PVs for /srv/myth/video-R1a, /srv/myth/video-R1b, /srv/myth/video-R1c, /srv/myth/video-R1d, /srv/myth/video-R1e (213GiB each, jfs)

/dev/sda1       2GiB /boot       ext4 on md RAID1 with /dev/sda1
/dev/sda2     430GiB             RAID1 with /dev/sda2, LVM PVs for /, /home, /srv/myth/emulators, /srv/myth/music, /var, /var/spool
/dev/sda3      16GiB swap        configured round-robin with /dev/sda3
/dev/sda4          - extended
/dev/sda5     350GiB             LVM PV for /srv/myth/videos (105GiB, ext4), /tmp (1008MiB, ext4), /var/cache (5GiB, ext4), /var/tmp (1008MiB, ext4), /srv/myth/video-filler1 (210GiB, ext4)
/dev/sda6    1065GiB             RAID1 with /dev/sda6, LVM PVs for /srv/myth/video-R1a, /srv/myth/video-R1b, /srv/myth/video-R1c, /srv/myth/video-R1d, /srv/myth/video-R1e (213GiB each, jfs)

My default storage group uses /srv/myth/video-R1[a-e]. I've created five 213GiB partitions as jfs filesystems cannot be resized to be smaller once they are created. If I need space elsewhere, I can migrate the recordings present in one of the video-R1[a-e] filesystems elsewhere (possibly /dev/null), remove it from the storage group, optionally re-mkfs, and repurpose it.

The /srv/myth/video-filler[0-1] filesystems are intended for filler recordings that I might watch (e.g. The Simpsons, Newsnight, Russia Today etc), but I don't really care if I lose them in the event of a disc failure. I bind these filesystems into a 'filler' storage group, which can be used on a case-by-case basis when setting up a recording rule.

/var is ext3 because that's where the MySQL database lives, and there are reports of performance issues when hosting the MySQL database on ext4 filesystems

If one wanted better reliability, putting swap on a md RAID1 array might be an improvement (if a disc fails, attempts to page in won't fail). I figure swap is rewritten often enough that the disc will reallocate if a sector or three fails. In my experience, my mains electricity fails more often than discs completely die.

/etc/php.ini

Configure PHP's date.timezone setting to match local timezone, or MythWeb will fail to generate preview thumbnails for recordings that were made whilst DST was in force if DST is not currently in force, and vice versa.

Example:

date.timezone = Europe/London

/etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
key_buffer = 16M
table_cache = 128
sort_buffer_size = 2M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M
query_cache_size = 16M

datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

There's scope for increasing MySQL's various buffers still further.

Fixing USB power to 'on' seems to be important for maintaining availability of both Nova-T-500 tuners. Failing to do so results in the kernel sometimes suspending either the tuners themselves, or the VIA USB bridge they sit behind, and being unable to reset and recover them without a power cycle.

#options dvb_usb disable_rc_polling=1

The Nova-T-500 IR receiver has been implicated in tuner instability, and I only use the Nova-T's IR receiver, so I disable the Nova-T-500's.

/etc/modprobe.d/nova-t-500-force-lna.conf

This enables the Low Noise Amplifier on the Nova-T-500, and forces its tuners to take up slots 1 and 2, regardless of whether the driver for it or the Nova-T is loaded first.

This forces the Nova-T's tuner to take up slot 0, regardless of whether the driver for it, or the Nova-T-500's tuners is loaded first.

Hauppauge Infra-Red Remote

The sensor for the remote is connected to the Nova-T. No sensor is connected to the Nova-T-500. When I was using two Nova-Ts, sometimes the /dev nodes would swap around after a reboot or kernel upgrade. Using the by-path /dev/ entries is a bit more stable.

/etc/sysconfig/lirc

# Note: in addition to these parameters, you need to have working    -*- sh -*-
# configuration file for lircd (and lircmd if enabled).

# Options to lircd(8).  Typically, this will be empty, as which driver to use
# should be specified using the LIRC_DRIVER variable below.

LIRCMD_OPTIONS=""

/etc/lircd.conf

Due to changes in the IR remote code in the kernel between Fedora 8 and Fedora 14, I needed to regenerate this file using irrecord --disable-namespace -H devinput -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-[...]-event-ir $HOME/lircd.conf.

Before I could do so, I also needed to configure HAL to ignore the IR device nodes by creating a couple of .fdi files under /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/

MythTV configuration

Speaker

Note that if MythTV only has a single audio path. A side effect of this is that it cannot be configured both to pass through multi-channel (e.g. 5.1) digital audio and to output stereo analogue audio simultaneously. If you try, you will end up hearing ugly compressed digital noise through your analogue output.

Configured like this, I get stereo audio on both the analogue and digital S/PDIF outputs. I usually watch MythTV recordings with only my TV's speakers enabled, but if I mute my TV and switch on my AV receiver, this is adequate. I have a cheap DVD player if I want to hear a 5.1 DVD. If more UK Freeview broadcasts were > 2.0 audio, I might reconsider this configuration.

MythTV configuration

MythTV Playback Settings

Enable realtime priority threads
Extra audio buffering
Custom Video Playback Profile: Decoder=Standard (ffmpeg), Max CPUs=1, Deblocking filter=enabled, Video renderer=xv-blit, OSD renderer=chromakey, OSD fade=disabled, Primary deinterlacer=Bob (2x), Fallback deinterlacer=None
OpenGL vsync setting is no longer present
Enable SyncToVBlank=1, XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1, XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=1 and XVideoSyncToDisplay=1 in $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc
Use 1024x576 for UI, 720x576pali for playback

The bug that resulted in XVideo regions displayed on interlaced displays being scandoubled appears to no longer be present with the combination of 7600GS/GT hardware, nVidia driver version 256.53 and MythTV 0.24-fixes. Output is full vertical resolution, jitter free and scrolling credits are smooth.

For belt-and-braces, I use ionice to run mythfrontend and mythbackend with the highest priority (0) in the best-effort (class=2) IO scheduling class:

<code>

</code>

Other IO-intensive background processes (e.g. mirroring using rsync, certain elements of MythArchive) are run only within the idle (class=3) IO scheduling class. Generally, the only playback disruption I experience is coincident with the flurry of database activity at the start and end of a new recording. There is scope for running mythfrontend within the realtime (class=1) IO scheduling class, but I have not yet experimented with this.

This script sets xmltv to use updated (aka supplement) channel data files, downloading them automatically if they have changed. It also runs mythfilldatabase in the 'idle' IO scheduling class. Configure MythTV to use this script using mythtv-setup.

Create tweaked MythCenter-wide theme

copy /usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide to /usr/share/mythtv/themes/ajb-MythCenter-wide, then apply this patch for smaller fonts and better contrast for text, so that the UI is usable on a 28" widescreen CRT at 6' or so.

Hauppauge Nova-T-500 checklist

1) Boot kernel with usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to disable suspending of USB devices (i.e. the two USB tuners behind the VIA USB/PCI bridge on the Nova-T-500 PCI card)

2) Load the dvb_usb kernel module with disable_rc_polling=1 to disable the IR port on the Nova-T-500. I only use the IR port on the Nova-T, so I can live with this.

3) Load the dvb-usb-dib0700 module with force_lna_activation=1 to have the LNA permanently enabled.

4) In /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

echo 0 >/sys/module/dvb_core/parameters/dvb_powerdown_on_sleep

and

#for i in `find /sys -name 'level' | grep usb`; do echo "on" >$i; done
# AJB20110120 power/level deprecated in favour of power/control
for i in `find /sys -name 'control' | grep usb`; do echo "on" >$i; done
for i in `find /sys -name 'control' | grep i2c` ; do echo "on" >$i; done

as belt-and-braces to prevent the Nova-T-500 sub-devices being suspended.

5) Use the 1.20 firmware (MD5: f42f86e2971fd994003186a055813237) file and ensure it's being properly loaded. I've also tried the 1.10 firmware (MD5: 5878ebfcba2d8deb90b9120eb89b02da) with no apparent improvement.

6) Ensure that the machine is cold-booted (thereby forcing a firmware load onto the Nova-T-500) every time due to reports of warm boots being problematic.

7) Disable EIT scanning by MythTV on both of the two Nova-T-500 tuners. Only leave it enabled on the Nova-T card.

8) MythTV is configured to open all the tuner devices when mythbackend starts and keep them open until mythbackend terminates (i.e. dvb_on_demand=0), rather than repeated opening and closing of the tuner devices which has also been reported as problematic for some.

9) MythTV signal_timeout=500, channel_timeout=3000, dvb_tuning_delay=0 (defaults), but I've tried increasing those to 3000, 4000 and 400 respectively, as per <http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NovaT500> with no apparent improvement.

10) MythTV multirec enabled, configured with 2 virtual tuners per physical tuner.

11) I briefly experimented with setting buggy_sfn_workaround=1 when loading the dib3000mc and dib7000p modules with no apparent improvement. As far as I can see, though, UK DVB-T broadcasting isn't a single frequency network, so a) this is not relevant here and b) it will impair performace. As a result, I'm NOT using the buggy_sfn_workaround.

I've got debug=1 set for the mt2060, dib3000mc and dib7000p modules, debug=127 for dvb_usb and debug=7 for dvb-usb-dib0700, but I'm not seeing anything obviously bad in my kernel syslog. I've got mythbackend running with "-v important,record" but all that seems to report is no progress on failed recordings after "TVRec(_): Successfully set up DVB table monitoring." (where _ is the cardid of the failed tuner).

Note that MythTV's channel scanner tries to fill in certain fields of the dtv_multiplex table automatically, which doesn't work well with the Nova-T-500 (the main symptom is loss of one or more of its tuners). My dtv_multiplex table for the uk-Mendip transmitter, as of 7 July 2011, contains:

The dtv_multiplex table will need to be changed again on 28 September 2011 and 28 March 2012 to deal with changes to the frequencies and DVB parameters. Details can be found at http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/postcodechecker/ (tick the "I am in the aerial installation trade" checkbox), with contributory information from http://www.ukfree.tv/. Channel frequencies can be determined by using queries like http://www.ukfree.tv/mapsofsignal.php?c=52&a=1 (e.g. for Channel 52).

Comments

The Hauppauge Nova-T-500 needs to be handled quite carefully to ensure that it is reliable. Most significant is to ensure that the kernel does not suspend USB devices, and that the machine is always cold-booted.
CPU usage when recording three channels simultaneously is about [unknown]% plus [unknown] system time.
Both the Hauppauge Nova-T and Nova-T-500 cards support multirec in MythTV 0.21. CPU usage when recording from six channels simultaneously is about [unknown]% plus about [unknown]% system time.
I currently have configured 4 multirec virtual tuners per physical tuner, giving a total of 12 virtual tuners. Recording and playback are reliable.
CPU usage when playing back a recording is about [unknown]%.
Commercial Flagging doesn't really work on UK DVB-T broadcasts, apart from the aforementioned silence detection technique.
MythWeather doesn't work in 0.20.2. It works again in 0.21 using the BBC grabber.
Many emulators need to be run with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd in order to work with FC8's default PulseAudio configuration. Xmame needs to be run under padsp and use the -dp oss option.

Old System, pre-January 2011

With an eye on power consumption, I went for a combined frontend/backend implementation. I tried a quick run through with a scratch machine that I was no longer using. Once I'd determined, it'd probably be up for the job, I bought components specially. I mainly used Jarod C. Wilson's 'Fedora Myth(TV)ology' document to configure it, but had to discover some things myself by trial-and-error.

Hardware Specification

Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz CPU (was Intel Celeron 1.7GHz when CPU usage stats were gathered; the P4 is about 50-100% faster)
768MB RAM (originally 256MB)
Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra Motherboard (i845PE)
Seagate ST3500630A PATA 500GB disc (OS, database, recordings)
Seagate ST3300622A PATA 300GB disc (originally only disc; now music, emulator ROMs)
LiteOn/JLMS XJ-HD165H DVD-ROM
NEC ND-4570A DVD+/-RW
Codegen ATX-9001 case
1*Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T tuner (originally 2)
1*Hauppauge Nova-T-500 dual DVB-T tuner with Hauppauge infra-red remote control
1*Pace Bt878 Analogue NICAM/FM tuner (not currently used)
1*D-Link quad-port NIC
GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 128MB fanless VGA card (bought used to replace failing cheaper nVidia card)
home-built VGA-to-RGB SCART adaptor with integrated audio in/out and composite from SCART
2*PADIX/Rockfire PX-205 PSX-USB Bridge with two Logic-7 Playstation dual-shock gamepads
Ruwido/Chicony KB-9820 infra-red PS/2 keyboard/mousepad
Panasonic TX-28DTX11 100Hz DVB-T 16:9 TV
SLx 4-way UHF amplifier
Yamaha RX-V361 AV Receiver/Surround Decoder, linked via 3m coax

Software Specification

Fedora Core 8 running 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 kernel (reverted from 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 after problems with 'mt2060 failed to read/write' errors and inability to tune) and standard video4linux drivers. This kernel revision appears to fully support the Nova-T-500, including the remote control, thus completely negating any reason to use out-of-tree v4l drivers from the mercurial repository. Note that previous FC8 kernels supported the Nova-T-500, but with no remote control support. The v4l drivers from the mercurial repository are reputed to be more stable with the Nova-T-500, but I experienced a couple of hard locks when running with a snapshot taken on 17 March 2008.
MythTV 21 from ATrpms
pdnsd caching DNS server
privoxy ad-filtering HTTP proxy

Hauppauge Infra-Red Remote

The sensor for the remote is connected to the Nova-T. No sensor is connected to the Nova-T-500. When I was using two Nova-Ts, sometimes the /dev nodes would swap around after a reboot or kernel upgrade. Using the by-path /dev/ entries is a bit more stable.

/etc/sysconfig/lircd

# Options to lircd
#LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:03.2--event-ir"
# path to the device node for the Nova-T sometimes changes between .2 and .0,
# so use a wildcard to match, as long as there's only ever one Nova-T present!
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:03.?--event-ir"

# ALSA configuration file

##### USAGE #####
# Save this file as "~/.asoundrc" (for user-specific sound configuration) or
# "/etc/asound.conf" (for system-wide sound configuration) and specify ALSA
# device names ad described in the next section.


##### DEVICE NAMES #####
# This configuration file defines four devices for use by the user.  Those
# devices are "analog", "mixed-analog", "digital", and "mixed-digital".  The
# user may also re-define "default" to be identical to one of the above-named
# devices (i.e. to send all sound output to the digital output unless otherwise
# specified).  Use the device names as described below:
#  - "analog" outputs to the analog output directly and (at least on software
#  sound cards) blocks other audio output.  After playback completes, "queued"
#  sounds are output in sequence.
#  - "mixed-analog" mixes audio output from multiple programs into the analog
#  output (so you can hear beeps, alerts, and other noises while playing back
#  an audio stream).
#  - "digital" outputs to the digital output directly.  Since most (all?)
#  digital outputs expect 48kHz PCM audio, this may not work for some playback
#  (i.e. CD's--which are 44.1kHz PCM audio--or 32kHz audio streams from TV
#  recordings, etc.).
#  - "mixed-digital"

# All other devices created within this file are used only by the configuration
# file itself and should /not/ be used directly.  In other words, do not use
# the devices "analog-hw", "dmix-analog", "digital-hw", or "dmix-digital".


##### IMPORTANT #####
# To make this ALSA configuration file work with your sound card, you will need
# to define the appropriate card and device information for the "analog-hw" and
# "digital-hw" devices below.  You can find the card and device information
# using "aplay -l".


##### Configuration File #####

# Override the default output used by ALSA.  If you do not override the
# default, your default device is identical to the (unmixed) "analog" device
# shown below.  If you prefer mixed and/or digital output, uncomment the
# appropriate four lines below (only one slave.pcm line).
#
# Note, also, that as of ALSA 1.0.9, "software" sound cards have been modified
# such that their default "default" device is identical to the "mixed-analog"
# device.  Whether using an ALSA version before or after 1.0.9, it does no harm
# and has no affect on performance to redefine the device (even if the
# redefinition does not change anything).  Also, by using this ALSA
# configuration file, you once again have access to unmixed analog output using
# the "analog" device.

## Uncomment the following to use (unmixed) "analog" by default
#  slave.pcm "analog-hw"

# Alias for (converted) analog output on the card
# - This is identical to the device named "default"--which always exists and
# refers to hw:0,0 (unless overridden)
# - Therefore, we can specify "hw:0,0", "default", or "analog" to access analog
# output on the card
# - Note that as of ALSA 1.0.9, "software" sound card definitions redefine
# "default" to do mixing, meaning this device is different from "default" and
# allows playback while blocking other sound sources (until playback
# completes).

MythTV configuration

MythTV Playback Settings

Deinterlace, Linear Blend (interlaced output sometimes gets out-of-sync with TV)
Disable OpenGL vsync
Enable SyncToVBlank=1, XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1 and XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=1 in $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc
Use 1024x576 for UI, 720x576pali for playback

- or -

Deinterlace, Linear Blend (best shapes), but experiment with Bob 2x and no deinterlacing
Enable OpenGL vsync
Use 1024x576 for UI, 720x576pali for playback
enable SyncToVBlank=0, XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=0 and XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=0 in $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc

- or -

Disable deinterlacing, run mythfrontend with NO_XV=1 environment variable set (or use the opengl or Xshm output targets). Best quality, but burns CPU (~80% usage)

Note that due to an apparent bug in the current nVidia legacy drivers (9143, maybe other versions too), Xvideo regions displayed on interlaced displays appear to be scandoubled. Switching to an ATI Radeon 7500 appears to fix this but introduces other problems to make it an unacceptable alternative to me.

Comments

CPU usage when recording three channels simultaneously is about 7% plus [unknown] system time.
Both the Hauppauge Nova-T and Nova-T-500 cards support multirec in MythTV 0.21. CPU usage when recording from six channels simultaneously is about 15-20% plus about 8% system time.
CPU usage when playing back a recording is about 30-40%.
Sometimes recordings are corrupt and unwatchable. I suspect my signal is very variable, but it might also be http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting:Mythfilldatabase_IO_bottleneck
Commercial Flagging doesn't really work on UK DVB-T broadcasts.
MythWeather doesn't work in 0.20.2. It works again in 0.21 using the BBC grabber.
I had a quick go at getting the Bt878 analogue tuner card working in order to help convert some VHS tapes to DVD, but never really got it working properly.
Hopefully future nVidia drivers will improve their handling of sync interrupts, so interlaced output doesn't get out-of-sync with the TV display. At this point, the deinterlace option can be disabled.
Many emulators need to be run with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd in order to work with FC8's default PulseAudio configuration. Xmame needs to be run under padsp and use the -dp oss option.
With the upgrade to FC8 and 0.20.2 of MythTV more RAM and/or CPU power might be a good idea. Menu navigation is sometimes a bit slow
Sometimes S/PDIF audio output halts when the host is under load. Playback of DTS soundtracks of DVDs is particularly prone to this, but I've experienced it within MythMusic too.
I'm now using the MythCenter-wide theme after the glass-wide theme ( http://www.mythtvthemes.co.uk/glasswide.shtml ) stopped working with MythArchive.

+Note that if MythTV only has a single audio path. A side effect of this is that it cannot be configured both to pass through multi-channel (e.g. 5.1) digital audio and to output stereo analogue audio simultaneously.

+Other IO-intensive background processes (e.g. mirroring using rsync, certain elements of MythArchive) are run only within the idle (class=3) IO scheduling class. Generally, the only playback disruption I experience is [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/475136 coincident with the flurry of database activity at the start and end of a new recording]. There is [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/198520?do=post_view_threaded#198520 scope for running mythfrontend within the realtime (class=1) IO scheduling class], but I have not yet experimented with this.

-Note that if MythTV only has a single audio path. A side effect of this is that it cannot be configured both to pass through multi-channel (e.g. 5.1) digital audio and to output stereo analogue audio simultaneously. If you try, you will end up hearing ugly compressed digital noise through your analogue output.
+    # This is helpful for mod_deflate -- it prevents proxies from changing
+    # the user agent to/from this server, which can prevent compression from

-Configured like this, I get stereo audio on both the analogue and digital S/PDIF outputs. I usually watch MythTV recordings with only my TV's speakers enabled, but if I mute my TV and switch on my AV receiver, this is adequate. I have a cheap DVD player if I want to hear a 5.1 DVD. If more UK Freeview broadcasts were > 2.0 audio, I might reconsider this configuration.

-For belt-and-braces, I use <code>ionice</code> to run <code>mythfrontend</code> and <code>mythbackend</code> with the highest priority (0) in the best-effort (class=2) IO scheduling class. The MySQL daemon is run with priority slightly lower at 1 (still within the 'best-effort' IO scheduling class). IO-intensive background processes (e.g. mirroring using rsync, certain elements of MythArchive) are run only within the idle (class=3) IO scheduling class. Generally, the only playback disruption I experience is coincident with the flurry of database activity at the start and end of recording. There is scope for running mythfrontend within the realtime (class=1) IO scheduling class, but I have not yet experimented with this.

-These changes fix some bugs in the MythArchive script as shipped with the snapshot of 0.24-fixes that I use, and runs IO intensive processes in the idle IO scheduling class so as not to disrupt recording or playback.
+I use it with the following <code>$HOME/.dgen/dgenrc</code>:
+<code><pre>
+# This is a sample .dgenrc file
+# It simply sets everything to their default values
+# Lines that BEGIN with a hash (#) (i.e. NOTHING before it) are comments.
+# Also, everything after the "field = value" is ignored (but don't count on it)
+# Note that your own RC file doesn't need to include every field like this
+# one does, any ones you exclude simply have their compiled-in default values.
+# Also, you can have multiple RC files, and use the -r option to dgen
+# to pick the rc you want to load.
+# Fields beginning with "key_" take key names. The valid key names are listed
+# in the dgenrc(5) manpage.
+# Fields beginning with "bool_" are boolean, i.e. they take a true or false
+# value:
+#  "true", "yes", any number except 0: true
+#  "false", "no", "0"                : false
+# Fields beginning with "int_" take a _positive_ integer. Simple enough, huh? ;)

-* The Hauppauge Nova-T-500 needs to be handled quite carefully to ensure that it is reliable. Most significant is to ensure that the kernel does not suspend USB devices, and that the machine is always cold-booted.

-* CPU usage when recording three channels simultaneously is about 7% plus [unknown] system time.

-* Both the Hauppauge Nova-T and Nova-T-500 cards support multirec in MythTV 0.21. CPU usage when recording from six channels simultaneously is about 15-20% plus about 8% system time.

-* MythWeather doesn't work in 0.20.2. It works again in 0.21 using the BBC grabber.

-* I had a quick go at getting the Bt878 analogue tuner card working in order to help convert some VHS tapes to DVD, but never really got it working properly.

-* Hopefully future nVidia drivers will improve their handling of sync interrupts, so interlaced output doesn't get out-of-sync with the TV display. At this point, the deinterlace option can be disabled.

-* Many emulators need to be run with <code>SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd</code> in order to work with FC8's default PulseAudio configuration. Xmame needs to be run under <code>padsp</code> and use the <code>-dp oss</code> option.

-* With the upgrade to FC8 and 0.20.2 of MythTV more RAM and/or CPU power might be a good idea. Menu navigation is sometimes a bit slow
+                       0x07
-* Sometimes S/PDIF audio output halts when the host is under load. Playback of DTS soundtracks of DVDs is particularly prone to this, but I've experienced it within MythMusic too.

-With an eye on power consumption, I went for a combined frontend/backend implementation. I tried a quick run through with a scratch machine that I was no longer using. Once I'd determined, it'd probably be up for the job, I bought components specially. I mainly used [http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php Jarod C. Wilson's 'Fedora Myth(TV)ology' document] to configure it, but had to discover some things myself by trial-and-error.
-=== Hardware Specification ===
-* Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz CPU (was Intel Celeron 1.7GHz when CPU usage stats were gathered; the P4 is about 50-100% faster)

-* Yamaha RX-V361 AV Receiver/Surround Decoder, linked via 3m coax
-=== Software Specification ===
-* Fedora Core 8 running 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 kernel (reverted from 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 after problems with 'mt2060 failed to read/write' errors and inability to tune) and standard video4linux drivers. This kernel revision appears to fully support the Nova-T-500, including the remote control, thus completely negating any reason to use out-of-tree v4l drivers from the mercurial repository. Note that previous FC8 kernels supported the Nova-T-500, but with no remote control support. The v4l drivers from the mercurial repository are reputed to be more stable with the Nova-T-500, but I experienced a couple of hard locks when running with a snapshot taken on 17 March 2008.

-==== Hauppauge Infra-Red Remote ====
-The sensor for the remote is connected to the Nova-T. No sensor is connected to the Nova-T-500. When I was using two Nova-Ts, sometimes the /dev nodes would swap around after a reboot or kernel upgrade. Using the by-path /dev/ entries is a bit more stable.
