Jim

I just figured it out. the tmp directory did not have write permission.

I have two HD1000 and I can book mark on one and then jump to that bookmark on the other.

Very cool.

Thanks Jim! I have loaded 0.82p on my daily roku. I will see if i can give rew/ff a beating

thanks for the great work.

ps: Does anyone else find that notifications of new posts to this thread is broken? i have "Always notify me of replies" enabled in my profile for these forums, but I'm not getting any email

Enjoy!

PS out of interest has anyone watched livetv via firewire from mythroku successfully. I tried when I finally got a stable firewire connection from my cable box. Recordings are fine but livetv hangs somewhere. I haven't tried debugging yet as weekend time has been limited.

PPS I have not added the skip +/- n minutes mapped to zoom in/out but will in the next release

Hey Jim,
I exercised ff/rew on my saved recording of the Olympics opening ceremonies. I gave it a pretty good beating for over 30 mins (mixing ff and rew and various speeds) and did not experience any problems with rew/ff that I've seen in the past.

Nice work! and thank you

I haven't taken a look at the mythroku code to determine how modular the remote event handlers are, but perhaps adding a configuration file which maps each of the 14 buttons to an operation during playback would be the way to go. A default map with the current behavior would then look something like:

menu = show_guide
exit = main_menu
west = jump -10
east = jump 30
ff = speed 2
rw = speed -2

That way people can customize both the function and the particular value for things like skipping, and even have different mappings for different types of viewing.

So where do we go to chip in to get Jim a Roku digital video player?

MythRoku is out living my hardware!!

Keep up the great work and thanks!!

I would like to reboot my roku once a night, like at 3am. It sometimes freezes and requires a hard poweroff (pull the plug). I'd like to see if a regular reboot fixes this.

Does anyone know if it's as simple as cron'ing /usr/bin/shutdown? or something like that?

thanks

you should be able to use cron and /sbin/reboot

My roku doesn't crash really. Sometimes mythroku doesn't respond quickly to program deletion.

Hopefully this forum will stay up long enough to report a crash in MythRoku. Here is the log. I tried playing a few files with and without comm flagging. The last show crashes MythRoku.

Satz, If I understand you correctly, mythroku will play files back but you have had a crash.
Is it after you exit from playing?
Is this a new problem, and if so did you change anything, like the machine/directory where the app is?

I see one issue from your log that there is a file writing problem. WriteFileSettings failed. This writes bookmarks, zoom settimg, etc. You should see if tmp directory where all of the .settings files are is writable on the roku. To do this telnet to the roku and cd to the directory (df should show your mounted shares/directories). Then see of vi lets you write. I am not sure if this would cause a crash, but let's fix that 1st and see if the issue goes away

WriteFileSettings0
Can not open settings file for writing

my log shows

WriteFileSettings1

James

and no crash!

satz · Mon Feb 23, 2009 10:38 am

Well making my cache directory writable fixed it. Thanks for spotting that. The show I was trying to play now plays with and without commflagging just like it should. I do notice that playing either commflagged or not there is lip syncing problems. Checking older recordings of the same show I now get the following crash:

Segmentation fault

The lip out-of-syncing for this show is consistent. All of the shows recorded by my over-the-air HD card have the same lip syncing issue. I can put a copy of the mpeg up for you to copy if that would help.

A little more clarification. It appears the lip sync is problematic clearly for one local channel. It is slightly off on one of the PBS channels and spot on for another local channel.

Thanks,
Greg

jm_maclaren · Mon Feb 23, 2009 11:12 am

lI see lip sync isssues with OTA HD when there is a drop or pixilation due to multipath issues. Pressing info twice resets the audio stream. Have you trued that?

There is no other solution that I know of.

You could try playing back one show that is bad via mplayer under linux to see if that has the same lip sybc problem.

As to the segmnetation fault seen below. Is after the show fiinishes or when you exit? If so, perhaps you could delete the ,settings file for it and retry.The files have the same name as in mythtv, so its a bit of an effort to find it. If you don'thave any bookmarks you want to save just tar up the directory (to be safe) and delete all the files in it (but not the directory). It will get recreated.

I will check back fro time to time today as its a holiday in New Orleans with Mardi Gras tomorrow and I am at home.

satz · Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:26 am

If I copy the file up to my Mac, the lip sync doesn't occur so I do believe it is something with the player in MythRoku.

The crash is repeatable and occurs when you first start up the show. I removed all the files in the settings directory and still get the following. Maybe something is messed up in the database?

The settings directory is still empty after this crash.

Thanks,

jm_maclaren · Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:50 pm

For the file that has a-v sync problems on the roku
1. does it play ok in mplay
2. does pressing info twice in quick succession in mythroku when it is playing fix it?

For the file that crashes
1. try it in mplay (by browsing the mythtv recordings dir
2. try rebuilding the seek table

If these fail then I can upload a code with more info printed out, I never seem to have crashes with either sd or hd

Let me know.

Is it possible to get a new mythroku for the latest myth protocol version? I upgraded my mythbuntu release and now find myself without a working mythroku. Thanks!
