Where is streamtuner? ( Streemtuner ) It wasn't in Gnome this time. at least a search on the install DVD didn't find it??? And I did try both spellings -- j nemo me impune lacessit quis custodiet ipsos custodiates?'

What webcam for Linux?
by suse＠karsites.net 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi all. I'm running SuSE 8.1 pro and would like to get a webcam. Can anyone recommend a webcam that will work under SuSE 8.1 pro, and that will continue to work when I upgrade to 9.2 pro or higher releases? Logitech may work with SuSE 8.1 and the pcw/pcwx driver. There seems to be a problem with this driver being a part of the kernel. Please see http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ for the related discussiom. Will SuSE be producing a custom kernel to continue supporting the pwcx driver as a binary module? Kind Regards - Keith Roberts http://www.karsites.net/

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Editing mp3 files
by Eric Seynaeve 17 Nov '04

Thanks for your answer. However, I have the feeling that using Audacity (which is indeed a good program) will lead to re-encoding of the mp3 file. So that will give following conversions: mp3 -> wav - editing - wav -> mp3. I fear that will decrease the overall quality of the songs, that's why I'm looking for a program to do direct cuts in mp3.

Editing mp3 files
by Eric Seynaeve 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hey all, I have put all my CDs in mp3 format on my harddisk. However, for a couple of songs, there are long (10+minutes) pauses in the song. For some others, there seems to have been a problem regarding the timestamps on the CD so the songs are shifted (part in one mp3, other part in another mp3). Is there an application that can directly edit the mp3 files so I won't have to recode the songs? With editing, I mean simply cutting the files on between frames and glueing pieces back together.

xine dvd support 9.1

It appear that there is no support for playing DVDs in 9.1. Is there a site that I can add to Yast's installation sources that will allow me to update Xine with the proper support for DVDs? Or, is there a similar site that will allow me to install MPlayer for SuSE 9.1? Thank you.

4-speaker sound not working
by David James Pettifor 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi Viewers, I'm hoping someone can help me out with the only remaining niggle (hopefully) that I have with my very first Linux install. I am using SUSE Linux Professional 9.1 and having problems with 4-speaker sound. Basically only my front speakers work, the two rear speakers are silent. YaST picked the CS4614/22/24 CrystalClear Sound Fusion Audio Accelerator driver for my Videologic Sonic Fury soundcard. This works beautifully with two speakers, however I do feel slightly cheated that only half my speaker system is actually playing ball! I have mucked about with all the different sound levels in YaST but the two rear speakers continue to make as much noise as a dead parrot encased in cotton wool. Please can somebody let me know if they have had the same problem with 4-speakers under SUSE 9.1 and if so did they manage to sort it out? Please be gentle with your response. As I mentioned at the start of this message, this is my first Linux install and it is one hell of a sharp learning curve for this here user! -- David .~. / ^ \ /| |\ simply change .\ /. .^.

SuSE 9.0 - sound problem - /dev/dsp0 busy

Dear Reader! I am using SuSE 9.0 pro out of the box, I have an onboard soundchip and the Hoontech DSP 24 Value soundcard. Problem: When I am using recording software ("audacity" or "snd") the sound is being recorded. However, when playing back and the playback is finished (either by pressing stop or the sound file is simply finished) the programs are crashing (they close). After this, there is no sound at all! And I could not get it back, even by playing around with YaST. Opening the recording software and trying to play back results then in an immediate crash. The program "snd" gave me fortunately at least this message: open read /dev/dsp0: Device or resource busy [audio.c[1956] linux_audio_open_with_error] With my limited knowledge in Linux I could only get around by rebooting the computer. During the shutdown the screen showed me the following information (I give just an excerpt): snd-mixer: Device or resource busy ... snd-* Device or resource busy failed After rebooting the sound was there. (Just a remark: after crashing the audio it is not possible to restart the X-server by "ctrl-alt-backspace". The computer hangs, no GUI, and also to switch to any console is of no use. I only could brutally switch off the computer.) Also switching off the "arts" was of no use ... What is the reason that the device is busy? And how can I solve this problem? Thanks for any hints and comments Cordially Thomas

zapdvb & a Typhoon DVB card.
by Wolfgang Grinfeld 07 Nov '04

I thought you might be in using zapdvb + Typhoon + suse. Steps involved - download SUSE 9.1 personal. - install SUS9.1 without update to the latest version (required for compatibiity with the source) - download suse 9.1 source - download packages: gcc,make,... - use cvs extract of 2004-05-01 for the linuxtv driver (this version has changes for a Typhoon card) - rebuild the kernel (no need to install it) - build the driver - use the insmod.sh of the driver (not modprobe) - download the zapdvb rpm and install - run it There might be a better/faster way, but the above works. _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

WINDOWS MEDIA TEST
by Paul Ryan 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hello I have the problem that when I try to watch a video stream at www.cmt.com I get the message " WINDOWS MEDIA TEST We have detected your browser does not have the required Windows Media 9 plug-in to play this video." This is very irritating because it is one of the main functions that I use in Internet or computer. Extremely irritating because I don't even come far enough to cut and paste the link into a video application. I have tried installing and reinstalling Mozilla,Kaffeine,Xine and Totem. I also have Mplayer with the plugin installed. Any Hints Thank You Paul Ryan

Suse 9.1 and DVB_TTUSB_BUDGET
by David Thompson 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hello: I have used Suse for many years at home and have just upgraded to SuSE 9.1 in anticipation of upgrading all of our servers at work to the Corporate version of 9.1 or new 9.2 to take advantage of the 2.6 kernel. My family and I watch all our Television on the Computer and have successfully used our Nova-T (TTUSB) device for over a couple of years now in Suse pre 9.1 using the dvb-kernel drivers on a 2.4 kernel. Since upgrading to Suse 9.1 however, I have had many problems. 1. The kernel that comes with the distro (download) the built in DVB drivers, dvb_ttusb_budget and alps_tdmb7, did not work .. or at least the frontend alps_tdmb7 did not work. 2. After updating the kernel to 2.6.5 -7.111 the built in drivers did work and I was able to TZAP to the channels .. however I was not able to watch the DVB stream in xine or mplayer. 3. The reason for this was an error in dmesg: ttusb_start_iso_xfer: failed urb submission (0: err = -22)! 4. I wrote a posting on the linuxdvb site and downloaded and installed the dvb-kernel CVS drivers which had fixed this issue for some people, adding the line urb->interval = 1; after urb->transfer_flags = URB_ISO_ASAP; in the ttusb_start_iso_xfer function. 5. However, this did not fix the issue. I still get the failed urb submission error. 6. I just received an e-mail from one of the developers of the dvb-kernel drivers that : > you don't really have a choice and need > to start to debug > the USB host driver. Try to find out at which point > in the kernel USB 7. However, I am not sure how to do this... and also since the technotrend / hauppauge ttusb is the most popular DVB-T device, I figured someone must have had this problem in SuSE 9.1 thus far and thought I would write you. 8. The only other pecularlity I can think of is that I am also using an analogue tv card wintv card .. and when I first loaded the 2.6.5-7.111 kernel it tried to load the dvb_bt8** frontend driver which messed up my analogue reception. I had to change the dvb file in init.d to only load the alps_tdmb7 frontend which I have always used successfully and is the right one for my ttusb device. 9. If we can't get this to work .. how difficult is it to go back to a 2.4 * kernel in Suse 9.1 .. as I wold hate to have to go through all this work and then go back to a previous distro. And also the whole point of this was to test 9.1 before introducing it at work. Thanks for your help. David ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
