Database Configuration 1/2

Setting	Default Value	Settings Page's Description	Additional Comments
Database Configuration 1/2
Hostname	127.0.0.1	The hostname or IP address of the machine hosting the database. This information is required.	If you are running a single combined backend and frontend, then leave this at its default value of 127.0.0.1. This is often referred to as the local loopback IP address. If you have multiple frontends connecting to this backend then you will need to set this address to the same address as the real IP address eg 192.168.2.11 as it appears on your network. If you have a DNS Server running on your network you can just put the hostname eg "MythBackend". Your DNS Server will translate this to its real IP address.
Database	mythconverg	The name of the database. This information is required.	This is the name of the database the MythTV backend uses to store information. Normally you should not need to change this. However, you may choose to have different databases for different reasons, for example, a test database so you can check out configurations, and then put this back to mythconverg later, or a different database depending on user so each user can set an independent look and feel.
User	mythtv	The user name to use while connecting to the database. This information is required.	You should not have to change this from its default.
Password	mythtv	The password to use while connecting to the database. This information is required.	Change this to suit your system.
Database type	MySql	The database implementation used for your server.	MySql is an Opensource database used by MythTV to hold all of its internal information.

Database Configuration 2/2

Setting	Default Value	Settings Page's Description	Additional Comments
Database Configuration 2/2
Custom Identifier for Frontend Preference	Unchecked	If this frontend's hostname changes often, check this box and provide a network-unique name to identify it. If unchecked, the frontend machine's local hostname will be used to save preferences in the database.	This is the meat of the subject
Use Wake-on-LAN to Wake Database	Unchecked	If checked, the frontend will use Wake-On-LAN parameters to reconnect to the database server (Mythbackend)	Wake-On-LAN is an ACPI option that allows your machine to power up based on activity on the network. You need to make sure that your machine supports ACPI correctly for this to work. You can use this to remotely activate your machine (for instance when you are at work).

Audio

Setting	Default Value	Settings Page's Description	Additional Comments
Audio
Audio output device	/dev/dsp	Blank	This is the sound card that you want to use. To specify an ALSA device, use the format `ALSA:device` (where `device` is a valid ALSA device such as spdif; iec958; default; hw::0,0; plughw:0,0; etc.). For example, `ALSA:spdif`. You can find out which ALSA devices you have available, with the command `aplay -l` To enable JACK output, use the format `JACK:`
Passthrough Output Device:	Default	Audio output device to use for AC3 and DTS passthrough. Default is the same as Audio output device. This value is currently only used with ALSA sound output.	Change this if you want to choose a different device to output the passthrough audio signal.
Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough	Unchecked	Enable sending AC3 audio directly to your sound card's SPDIF output on sources which contain AC3 soundtracks (usually digital tv). Requires that the audio output device be set to something suitable.	AC3 is Dolby Digital surround(wikipedia:AC3). You will need to connect your Myth box to your surround receiver via an optical or coaxial connector. Raw AC3 Stream is passed through to your receiver which will decode the audio stream. This is the preferred method for best audio quality, and also takes the audio processing load from your machine. For more information on setting up digital audio, see the Configuring Digital Sound page.
Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough	Unchecked	Enable sending DTS audio directly to your sound card's SPDIF output on sources which contain AC3 soundtracks (usually DVDs). Requires that the audio output device be set to something suitable.	For more information on setting up digital audio, see the Configuring Digital Sound page.
Aggressive sound card buffering	Off	If enabled, MythTV will pretend to have a smaller sound card buffer than is really present. This may speed up seeking, but can also cause playback problems.	Where users have reported Audio stutter problems, enabling this setting seems to help.
Use Internal Volume Controls	On	MythTV can control the PCM and master mixer volume. If you prefer to use an external mixer program, then disable this option.	Disabling this option may lighten the CPU load if the sound device has no hardware mixer. You may also want to disable this if you are using AC3 output as volume control will be done by your surround amplifier or reciever.
Select mixer device	/dev/mixer	Blank	Your system will have a Mixer device that combines multiple channels of audio input and controls the volume independently on each of these. There will also be a master volume that controls the output of all the inputs at the same time. If you choose an ALSA device for output, you must also specify an alsa mixer name, for example `default`. Unlike the Audio output device setting, here you don't need the `ALSA:` prefix.
Mixer Controls	PCM	Changing the volume adjusts the selected mixer.	Options are: PCM, Master, or any other named mixer control.
Master mixer volume 0-100 (selects volume level)	70	Initial volume for the Master Mixer. This affects all sound created by the soundcard. Note: Do not set this too low.	This will control the overall sound level output from your sound card.
PCM mixer volume 0-100 (selects volume level)	70	Initial volume for PCM output. Using the volume keys in MythTV will adjust this parameter.	The Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) input is where MythTV will send the audio from your TV Card. This sets the initial volume level for this.
Independent muting of left and right audio channels	Off	Enable muting of just the left or right channel. Useful if your broadcaster puts the original language on one channel, and a dubbed version of the program on the other one. This modifies the behavior of the Mute key.	Broadcasters in Europe often will use the left and right channels to send simultaneous language audio on the same transmission. You will often see this on Eurosport for instance, where German and English are sent at the same time. Muting one or the other channel will select the language you want to hear.

System Exit Key	ESC (Escape)	MythTV is designed to run continuously. If you wish, you may use the ESC key or the ESC key + a modifier to exit MythTV. Do not choose a key combination that will be intercepted by your window manager.	Possible values are: ESC No exit key Control-ESC Meta-ESC Alt-ESC
Confirm Exit (Checkbox)	On	When enabled, MythTV will prompt for confirmation when you press the System Exit key.	If enabled, MythTV will ask you whether you really want to exit the frontend if you press the system exit key at the main menu.
Halt Command	halt	If you have configured an exit key using the System Shutdown option, you will be given the opportunity to exit MythTV or halt the system completely. Another possibility for this field is "poweroff".	This is the meat of the subject
Keypress Command	(none)	External application or script to run when a keypress is received by LIRC.	This is the meat of the subject
Use Arrow Key Accelerators	On	If enabled, Arrow key accelerators will be used with LEFT performing an exit action and RIGHT selecting the current item.	An intuitive way of navigating through the MythTV menus. Right is considered enter while left is considered exit or back. Much like navigating through a menu tree.
Enable Network Remote Control Interface	Unchecked	This enables support for controlling mythfrontend over the network.	This is the meat of the subject
Network Remote Control Port	6546	This specifies what port the Network Remote Control interface will listen on for new connections.	This is the meat of the subject

General (page 5)
Require setup PIN	Off	If set, you will not be able to return to this screen and reset the Setup PIN without first entering the current PIN.	MythTV setup can be locked so that you don't have tampering fingers change things while you are out. This tells the system that a PIN will be required to access the configuration screen.
Setup PIN Code	(none)	This PIN is used to control access to the setup menus. If you want to use this feature, then setting the value to all numbers will make your life much easier. Set it blank to disable.	Tell the system what the security PIN is here. Don't forget to write it down somewhere so you don't forget. Or back up your database before you set the PIN so you can restore in case you forget.
Monitor CD/DVD	Off	This enables support for monitoring your CD/DVD drives for new disks and launching the proper plugin to handle them.	You can set the system up to auto launch DVD or CD playback on insertion. Many new distributions as of 2006 will have this feature.
Enable X-box Hardware	Disabled	This enables support for Xbox specific hardware. Requires a frontend restart for changes to take effect.	Enabling this option will add another button to the settings menu allowing configuration of your Xbox LED. You will need the Blink program from the xbox-linux project, which is installed as /bin/led on GentooX and /usr/bin/blink on Xebian. (Type which blink to see if the program is available.) If you do not have blink, you may obtain it from the Xbox-Linux project site at http://xbox-linux.sf.net/. Once you have installed blink you will need to set permissions. Blink needs write permission to the i2c device to function properly. There are three methods to accomplish this. First, you could run mythfrontend as root which is the simplest method, but could potentially be a security risk. Next, you may make the blink binary setuid root, which allows non-privileged users to run a program with root capability. This is done by typing the command: $ su # chmod u+s /path/to/blink If you select GentooX as the distribution "led" will be used as the blink binary name, otherwise "blink" is used. Colors should be self explanatory. The update interval determines how often the frontend should poll the backend to determine if the status has changed.

Playback

General Playback

Setting	Default Value	Settings Page's Description	Additional Comments
General Playback
Deinterlace Playback (checkbox)	Unchecked	Make the video look normal on a progressive display (i.e. monitor)	Television sets have a frame rate of about 30 frames per second (for NTSC). Many people notice flicker at 30fps and prolonged viewing can cause eye strain. So, in order to double the perceived framerate while using the same bandwidth, televisions draw all of the even lines in one pass and the odd lines in the next pass, alternating each time. This is called interlacing. Computer monitors, on the otherhand just draw every line each pass. This is referred to as progressive. So, in order to make your interlaced video (meant for a TV) look good on a (progressive) monitor, you need to deinterlace the video. For some examples of the effects of not deinterlacing and more information, look here.
Custom Filters	(empty)	Advanced Filter configuration, [[<filter>=<options>,]...]	There are details on the Filter_Instructions page.
Use libmeg2 for decoding (checkbox)	Unchecked	If enabled, libmpeg2 will be used instead of ffmpeg for decoding MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video frames. This can be faster. Not available when XvMC is used.
Enable realtime priority threads (checkbox)	Checked	When running mythfrontend with root privileges, some threads can be given enhanced priority. Disable this if mythfrontend freezes during video playback.	Realtime requires special privileges - either running as root, suid binary, permissions from limits.conf, or the realtime kernel module. (suid binary seems broken in 0.20). See the realtime thread information in the HOWTO for more details.
Use video as timebase (checkbox)	Unchecked	Use the video as the timebase and warp the audio to keep it in sync. (Experimental)
Extra audio buffering	Checked	Enable this setting if MythTV is playing "crackly" audio and you are using hardware encoding. This setting will have no effect on MPEG-4 or RTJPEG video. MythTV will keep extra audio data in its internal buffers to work around this bug.
Aspect Override	Off	This will override any aspect ratio in the recorded stream, the same as pressing the W key during playback. Fill will "fill" the screen with image clipping as required. Fill is useful when using 4:3 interlaced TVs for display.	Possible values are: Off 4/3 16/9 4/3 Zoom 16/9 Zoom 16/9 Stretch Fill
PIP Video Location	Top Left	Location of PIP Video Window	PIP=Picture In Picture Possible values are: Top Left Bottom Left Top Right Bottom Right

Alternate Clear Save Position (checkbox)	checked	During playback, the Select key (Enter or Space) will alternate between "Position Saved" and "Position Cleared". If disabled, the Select key will save the current position for each keypress.
Use Xv picture controls (checkbox)	unchecked	If enabled, Xv picture controls (brightness, contrast, etc.) are used during playback. These are independent of the Video4Linux controls used for recording.	The Xv controls may not work properly on some systems, for example some newer Nvidia cards do not support XV picture controls. To see if your machine supports XV picture controls type 'avattr' and look for the variables named XV_BRIGHTNESS, XV_CONTRAST, XV_SATURATION, and XV_HUE. Your graphics card should support picture controls for any of those variables that exist. Unsupported variables will show -1 when attempting to change them.
Enable channel change buffer warnings (checkbox)	unchecked	If enabled, MythTV will warn you whenever you change the channel but are not caught up to live TV.
UDP Notify Port	6948	During playback, MythTV will listen for connections from the "mythtvosd" or "mythudprelay" programs on this port. See the README in contrib/mythnotify/ for additional information.	This can be used to display various information (ex. Caller ID, email notification, etc.) on screen during playback. There's related information on the Setting_up_MythNotify page.

Hardware Decoding Settings
Use the PVR-350's TV out/MPEG decoder (checkbox)	unchecked	MythTV can use the PVR-350's TV out and MPEG decoder for high quality playback. This requires that the ivtv-fb kernel module is also loaded and set up properly.
Video device for the PVR-350 MPEG decoder	/dev/video16	(none)	Only available if "Use the PVR-350's TV out/MPEG decoder" is checked
Program Guide Alpha	164	How much blend the program guide over the live TV image. Higher numbers mean more guide and less TV.	Only available if "Use the PVR-350's TV out/MPEG decoder" is checked
TV audio through PVR-350 only (checkbox)	unchecked	Normally PVR-350 audio is looped into a soundcard, here you can indicate when that is not the case. MythTV cannot control TV volume when this option is checked.	Only available if "Use the PVR-350's TV out/MPEG decoder" is checked

Seeking

Setting	Default Value	Settings Page's Description	Additional Comments
Seeking
Fast forward amount (in seconds)	30	How many seconds to skip forward on a fast forward.
Rewind amount (in seconds)	5	How many seconds to skip backward on a rewind.
Smart Fast Forwarding (checkbox)	unchecked	If enabled, then immediately after rewinding, only skip forward the same amount as skipping backwards.
Sticky keys (checkbox)	unchecked	If enabled, fast forward and rewind continue after the key is released. Pressing the key again increases the fast forward or rewind speed. The alternate fast forward and rewind keys always behave this way.	Most standalone DVD players seem to act as though sticky keys were "on."
Reposition after fast forward/rewind (checkbox)	checked	When exiting sticky keys fast forward/rewind mode, reposition before resuming normal playback. This compensates for the reaction time between seeing where to resume playbakc and actually exiting seeking.
Reverse direction in fast forward/rewind (checked)	checked	If enabled, pressing the sticky rewind key in fast forward mode switched to rewind mode and vice versa. If disabled, it will decrease the current speed or switch to play mode if the speed can't be decreased further.
Seek to exact frame (checkbox)	unchecked	If enabled, seeking is frame exact, but slower.
Jump amount (in minutes)	10	How many minutes to jump forward or backward when the jump keys are pressed.

Commercial Skip
Automatically Skip Commercials	Off	Automcaitcally skip commecial breaks that have been flagged during Automatic Commercial Flagging or by the mythcommflag program, or just notify tht a commercial has been detected.	Possible values: Off Notify,but do not skip Automatically skip
Commerical Skip Auto-Rewind Amount	0	If set, Myth will automatically rewind this many seconds after performing a commerical skip
Commercial Skip Notify Amount	0	If set, MythTV will act like a commerical begins this many seconds early. This can be useful when commercial notification is used in place of automatic skipping.
Skip blank frames after commercials (checkbox)	checked	When using Blank Frame Detecion and Auto-Flagging, include blank framed following commercial breaks as part of the commercial break.
Skip Unflagged Commercials (checkbox)	Unchecked	Try to skip commerical breaks even if they have not been flagged. This does not always work well and can disrupt playback if commercial breaks aren't detected properly.

+|Deinterlace Playback<br>(checkbox)
+| align="center"|Unchecked
+|Make the video look normal on a progressive display (i.e. monitor)
+|Television sets have a frame rate of about 30 frames per second (for NTSC).  Many people notice flicker at 30fps and prolonged viewing can cause eye strain.  So, in order to double the perceived framerate while using the same bandwidth, televisions draw all of the even lines in one pass and the odd lines in the next pass, alternating each time.  This is called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlaced interlacing].
+Computer monitors, on the otherhand just draw every line each pass.  This is referred to as progressive.
+So, in order to make your interlaced video (meant for a TV) look good on a (progressive) monitor, you need to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinterlacing deinterlace] the video.
+For some examples of the effects of not deinterlacing and more information, look [http://www.100fps.com/ here].

+| align="center"|Unchecked
+|If enabled, libmpeg2 will be used instead of ffmpeg for decoding MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video frames.  This can be faster.  Not available when XvMC is used.
+|
+|-
+|Enable realtime priority threads<br>(checkbox)
+| align="center" |Checked
+|When running mythfrontend with root privileges, some threads can be given enhanced priority.  Disable this if mythfrontend freezes during video playback.
+|Realtime requires special privileges - either running as root, suid binary, permissions from limits.conf, or the realtime kernel module.  (suid binary seems broken in 0.20).  See the [http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.4 realtime thread] information in the HOWTO for more details.

+|If enabled, Xv picture controls (brightness, contrast, etc.) are used during playback.  These are independent of the Video4Linux controls used for recording.
+|The Xv controls may not work properly on some systems, for example some newer Nvidia cards do not support XV picture controls.  To see if your machine supports XV picture controls type 'avattr' and look for the variables named XV_BRIGHTNESS, XV_CONTRAST, XV_SATURATION, and XV_HUE.  Your graphics card should support picture controls for any of those variables that exist. Unsupported variables will show -1 when attempting to change them.
