How to Create a new Theme

2010-06-24T19:48:33Z

Dizzy1:

Creating a theme is easy by forking an existing "base" theme:

* Pick a base theme to start with, say, ''agedashi-1.2''
* Pick a name for the new theme, let's say '''NameOfYourTheme'''
* Copy the theme directory:

cd /var/hda/platform/html/public/themes
cp -a agedashi-1.2 NameOfYourTheme

* To change the display name of your theme to match that of the directory, edit
NameOfYourTheme/init.rb
* At this point the theme should be visible and selectable in http://hda/setup?tab=themes
* The most important file in the theme is the CSS file, which contains the styling for the theme. The file is located in
style.css
* The rest of the theme look is determined by the images, which are referenced by the platform code
* The theme screenshot file should be 640x480 and is located in
theme-sshot.png
* The theme thumbnail file should be 64x64 and is located in
theme-thumb.png
* You can change the name of the theme and the color scheme of the piecharts in
init.rb

= Themes Sources in Git =

The existing themes are available in the git tree at:

amahi/themes

i.e

git clone git://git.amahi.org/amahi.git
cd amahi/themes

you can add yours there, then contribute it via a git patch. See [[Contribute]] for sending patches via git.

= Testing a Theme =

In your git tree,

git clone git://git.amahi.org/amahi.git
cd amahi/platform/platform/html
./script/server production

Then access your test environment as http://localhost:3000

Within the testing tree (in amahi/platform/platform/html), you can add new themes in

public/themes/

each in a directory of it's own. Then you should see the new theme next time you run ./script/server (if you know how to duplicate a database, it may be bestter to run in development mode, no server restarts - see your changes live!) in this location:

<nowiki>http://localhost:3000/setup?sub=themes&tab=setting</nowiki>

To run in development mode, you can duplicate hda_production db into hda_development and simply run:

./script/server

= Theme "inheritance" from the Default =

One interesting thing is that themes default to the "main" theme.
If an image reference in the application does not exist in a theme, the image is served from the default theme.

This is to make it easier to make themes. One can start with a fairly "thin" theme and enhance it over time by adding new images and improvements.

= Making a Theme Faster =

http://www.Userstyles.org/ is the home of the "Stylish" Firefox extension. It is similar to greasemonkey in that it can change the look of a page on the fly.

Although the advantage for theme coders is that it modifies CSS so you can write your theme in the browser and and then copy paste it to a .css file in your theme instead of writing it in a text editor and saving it then refreshing the page to see your changes. Making theme development UBER fast.

GUI Install for Express Disc

2010-06-23T00:54:32Z

Dizzy1:

== Synopsis ==

The Amahi Express install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. This Guide instructs you on how to install the X Server as well as to make the X Server boot everytime. To install after Amahi Express has finished installing execute the following commands:

== Commands ==

"su -"

Enter your password for the root user

yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

yum -y install Xorg

== To change your Amahi HDA to boot into gnome ==

First and foremost you should be logged in as root.

The /etc folder on these Linux installations contain a file named inittab - mind you no extensions to the filename.
This file contains lots of important parameters & runlevel configurations that the kernel reads while booting and configures the system accordingly.
Open this file in your favourite editor and scroll down just a little bit say, till the 18th-20th line (usually) till you find something similar to this:

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:

As you can see the last line id:3:initdefault: specifies WHAT MODE (Graphical/Text/MultiUser etc) to boot the system into. The number "3" which according to the options - is Full multiuser mode - involving all the networking features of Linux, but in a non-graphical environment.

Change this value to "5" - here, according to the Commented out options above tells the system to boot straight into X11 (X-Windows) i.e. the Graphical Mode.

That's it. We are done. Save the file and quit. Reboot your system for the setting to take effect.

WARNING: When you are editing these critical system files in Linux, be absolutely sure of WHAT you are editing. One SINGLE MISTAKE can render the whole system non-bootable. These are as dangerous as (if not more) Windows Registry. So there.... smile.gif

== Automatic Login ==

If you want a specified user to login (if you are using MythTV or some other app which requires the X Server) then please do so with [http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/VNC these instructions].

OpenVPN troubleshooting

2010-03-16T06:37:07Z

Dizzy1:

Typical problems with the VPN:

* You cannot VPN into your network from your very own network (kinda duh)
* You cannot login two users simultaneously
* You cannot login to your network from another network with the exact same settings. You can probably reach your own HDA, but not other systems in the network, due to routing (the HDA has direct connection via the VPN tunnel).
* Check that you have port forwarded 1194 udp.

== Moving to TCP ==

If UDP is not working because of a shitty ISP (see list below). Then you will have to change from tcp to udp and change your port forwarding of 1194/udp to 1194/tcp.

== Client side: (Windows) ==

Right click the red A, click edit settings.
If you have a thing saying "HomeHDA > " then mouse over it and click edit settings. Change:

proto udp

to

proto tcp

If for some reason the DDNS (yourhda.com) is not working but your control panel is updating, the add this line at the top of the config file.

remote YOUR_IP_HERE

Note: If you have a dynamic ip, then you will probably need to update this everyday. If you have a static ip then you are fine.

== Manually (Windows) ==

Edit this file manually or use:

Seven x64

C:\Program Files (x86)\HDAConnect\config\HomeHDA.opvn

Seven x86 or 32 bit (Also most other Windows versions)

C:\Program Files\HDAConnect\config\HomeHDA.opvn

Run notepad as admin and open the above file.

== Client Side (Linux/Mac) ==

Similarly, locate the configuration file and change

proto udp

to

proto tcp

== On the Server side ==

Edit this file:

/etc/openvpn/amahi.conf

Command:

sudo gedit /etc/openvpn/amahi.conf

or

sudo nano -w /etc/openvpn/amahi.conf

change "proto udp" to "proto tcp"

Restart both sides and you are now using openvpn over tcp.
And add your isp below.

Please add your isp if you need this work-around:

MythTV

2010-03-15T05:57:22Z

Dizzy1: adding configuration help for noobs like me!

Tips on using the MythTV Backend app:

* Useful to run it as mythtvsetup --geometry 1024x720 so that you can see the messages in the launch window in the background (assuming your screen is larger than 1024x720)
* When connecting a source to an input (e.g. comcast to an HDHomeRun in my case), fetch channels from listing source only works *after* scanning for channels first
* If you want to use a separate front end, the database is called '''mythconverg''' and the user and password are both '''mythtv'''
* You have to explicitly tell Myth to add digital channels to the DB since they're almost always unusable without a scan

==More Tips==
* Comcast seems to be rolling out SCTE channels
* I recommend reading (the /entire/ thread at): http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/382657#382657
* Also http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Comcast_Users_And_scte65scan

* This setup seems to be needed for F12
** at line 21 posix_uname has to be changed to php_uname in file /var/hda/web-apps/mythtv/html/includes/defines.php
** http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/374157
* In Mythsetup
** On page 3 (Miscellaneous Settings) of option 1 ensure 'Master Backend Override' is enabled (toggled)
* good place for help http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Fedora#Setup_MythTV

Edit by Dizzy1:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki <--- Mythtv wiki
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index <--- Mythtv user manual

After installing mythtv-backend, open a terminal and run "sudo mythtv-setup --geometry 1024x720".

To navigate the menu use the arrow keys and enter to select.

Move to "1. General", and press enter.

1.1 Host address Backend setup
Most of the options on the first page do not need to be changed. the local backend ip address and master backend ip address are the same if you are only running one backend. The value for them is the ip address of your hda ex. 192.168.1.19 or 192.168.2.87.

The security pin is only a 4 digit security code if mythtv is being run on a large LAN network. It is your choice if you wish to use it. If you don't set it to 0000.

Now move to the next page with the next button (Sometimes covered by gnome task bar it is the bottom most left button).

1.2 Locale settings
TV format is NTSC for North America and Japan, PAL for most parts of Europe and everywhere else. The VBI format is whatever you selected for above. NTSC Closed Caption for NTSC and PAL Teletext for PAL.

The Channel frequency table is used if you are using a coaxial input for either antenna or cable. If you are using an antenna use a "-bcast" selection. If you are using cable select one that says cable with your country code. If you are unsure select "auto".
