install mythtv
Note that I do not use the following sources:
deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/debian woody mythtv deb-src http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/debian woody mythtv
because it is not meant for the epia M 9000 (compiled for pentiumpro architecture) and I want to have a single installation for my M1000 and M9000 boxes.
Important note
In order to have mythtv working with the VIA CLE266 MPEG decoding engine you _*need*_ to run both mythbackend and mythtv as _*root*_ otherwise all you will get a black screen and a big fat segfault. Gryle revealed me that it comes from the fact that libddmpeg has some hardware I/O instructions (inb or outb) and only root or the kernel is allowed to do that. The solution would be to integrate that part of the code in the kernel (via_v4l_drv module) or in the X server...

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/share/qt3
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
- build the core and plugins. In order to avoid conflict with a classical debian package and also in order to enable an easy removal, mythtv is installed in directory /opt/mythtv-cvs

Edit the /var/www/html/mythweb/config/conf.php file if required. By default, MythWeb uses an Apache .htaccess file to restrict access to the website and to configure some variables. To create the password file for Apache (if your system doesn't already have one), you could do something like this:
cd /var/www htpasswd -c htpasswd mythtv New password: mynewpasswd Re-type new password: mynewpasswd

- run mythtv-setup and define general setup capture card source and link capture card tuner to source and use the following external script to change channels: /usr/local/bin/ptune.pl
- create a .xawtv file containing the exact frequencies of your channels:
defaults color = 32768 bright = 36000 hue = 32768 contrast = 32000 norm = SECAM source = Television freqtab = france # # Channel options # TF1 channel = 50 France2 channel = 52 France3 channel = 55 Canal+ channel = 63 fine = 4 capture = grab Arte channel = 47 fine = 1 M6 channel = 68 Planete channel = 23 fine = 2 Serie club channel = 26 fine = 2 RTL9 channel = 29 fine = 2 LCI channel = 31 fine = 2 Jimmy channel = 34 fine = 2 TMC channel = 36 fine = 3 Eurosport channel = 39 fine = 2 MCM channel = 42 fine = 2 Odyssee channel = 44 fine = 2 Teva channel = 45 fine = 2 MTV channel = 58 fine = 3 Info sports channel = 60 fine = 2 Paris premiere channel = 66
- identify source id of your cardinput using
mysql -uroot -prootmysqlpasswd
use mythconverg
select * from cardinput\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
cardinputid: 8
cardid: 10
sourceid: 13
inputname: Tuner 0
externalcommand: /usr/local/bin/chchan.sh
preference: NULL
shareable: N
tunechan: 50
startchan: 50
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
here sourceid is 13
- and then populate database (substitute 13 by your sourceid):
mythfilldatabase --xawchannels 13 .xawtv
- verify acquisition
mysql -uroot -prootmysqlpasswd use mythconverg select xmltvid from channel; mysql> select xmltvid from channel; +----------------+ | xmltvid | +----------------+ | TF1 | | France2 | | France3 | | Canal+ | | Arte | | M6 | | Planete | | Serie club | | RTL9 | | LCI | | Jimmy | | TMC | | Eurosport | | MCM | | Odyssee | | Teva | | MTV | | Info sports | | Paris premiere | +----------------+ 19 rows in set (0.00 sec)
- perform adjustments if required e.g.:
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France2' where name='France 2';
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France3' where name='France 3';
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France5/Arte' where freqid=30;
mysql> update channel set callsign='France 5 / Arte' where xmltvid='France5/Arte';
mysql> update channel set name='France 5 / Arte' where xmltvid='France5/Arte';
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France2' where name='France 2';
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France3' where name='France 3';
mysql> update channel set xmltvid='France5' where freqid=30;
mysql> update channel set callsign='France 5' where xmltvid='France5';
mysql> update channel set name='France 5' where xmltvid='France5';
mysql> insert into channel values('1031','31','31','1','Arte','Arte',NULL, '0',NULL,'Arte','0','32768','32768','32
mysql> update channel set channum='30' where name='Arte';
mysql> update channel set freqid='30' where name='Arte';
- verify a last time
mysql> select channum,sourceid,callsign,name,xmltvid from channel; +---------+----------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | channum | sourceid | callsign | name | xmltvid | +---------+----------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 50 | 13 | TF1 | TF1 | TF1 | | 52 | 13 | France2 | France2 | France2 | | 55 | 13 | France3 | France3 | France3 | | 63 | 13 | Canal+ | Canal+ | Canal+ | | 47 | 13 | Arte | Arte | Arte | | 68 | 13 | M6 | M6 | M6 | | 23 | 13 | Planete | Planete | Planete | | 26 | 13 | Serie club | Serie club | Serie club | | 29 | 13 | RTL9 | RTL9 | RTL9 | | 31 | 13 | LCI | LCI | LCI | | 34 | 13 | Jimmy | Jimmy | Jimmy | | 36 | 13 | TMC | TMC | TMC | | 39 | 13 | Eurosport | Eurosport | Eurosport | | 42 | 13 | MCM | MCM | MCM | | 44 | 13 | Odyssee | Odyssee | Odyssee | | 45 | 13 | Teva | Teva | Teva | | 58 | 13 | MTV | MTV | MTV | | 60 | 13 | Info sports | Info sports | Info sports | | 66 | 13 | Paris premiere | Paris premiere | Paris premiere | +---------+----------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ 19 rows in set (0.00 sec)
- use tv_grab_fr to retreive the my tv guide from the net (http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/new_grabbers/tv_grab_fr)
tv_grab_fr > allprogs.xml
- tv_grab_fr uses a horrid Windows font that replaces a-grave with an r-acute. Change the font:
cat allprogs.xml | sed 's/Windows-1250/ISO-8859-1/g' > myprogs.xml
- If have one station for France 5 / Arte should do this instead
cat allprogs.xml | sed 's/\"Arte\"/\"France5\/Arte:\"/g' | sed 's/\"France5\"/\"France5\/Arte:\"/g' | sed 's/Windows-1250/ISO-8859-1/g' > myprogs.xml
- Now fill the program guide (13 is my sourceid)
mythfilldatabase --file 13 -1 myprogs.xml
- This version leaves channel data in place
mythfilldatabase --update --file 13 -1 prog.xml rm allprogs.xml myprogs.xml tv_grab_fr > allprogs.xml cat allprogs.xml | sed 's/Windows-1250/ISO-8859-1/g' > myprogs.xml cat myprogs.xml | sed 's/France5/Arte/g' > finalprogs.xml mythfilldatabase --file 13 -1 finalprogs.xml

Compilation on both ezra and nehemiah architectures
Finally I decided to make a custom compilation for both architectures. The overall idea is to do the following (warning untested yet):
#!/bin/sh
disp()
{
echo "$@" >&1
}
warn()
{
echo "WARNING: $@" >&2
}
die()
{
echo "FAILURE: $@" >&2
exit 1
}
$# -ne 1 && die "Usage : $0 <arch>
where <arch> stands for ezra or nehemiah"
arch=$1
#arch=ezra
#arch=nehemiah
