| + | Visit [[https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi|the MythTV RPi wiki area]] for more details \\ | ||
| + | * Set up some performance concerns in ''/boot/config.txt'': \\ <code>gpu_mem=256</code> | ||
| + | * Disable wifi in ''/boot/config.txt'': <code>dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi</code> | ||
| + | * Put CPU in performance mode (as root): <code>echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor</code> | ||
| + | * Turn off the screen saver: <code>xset s off</code> | ||

| + | ===== Trivia ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Display Re-Activation ==== | ||
| + | For some combinations of hardware and software versions, the display that MythTV is using can become "deactivated", usually due to the actual hardware display being switched to another input (as is common for TVs, switching to a different HDMI port, etc...). | ||
| + | |||
| + | To reactivate a display: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | #!/bin/bash | ||
| + | SDN=":0" | ||
| + | VDN="HDMI2" | ||
| + | xrandr -d ${SDN} --output ${VDN} --auto | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ... you might have to find the values for ''SDN'' and ''VDN'' from ''.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Execute script at boot ==== | ||
| + | Here's a sample script to put at ''/etc/init.d/YourScriptName'':<code> | ||
| + | #!/bin/sh | ||
| + | # /etc/init.d/mythdvr | ||
| + | ### BEGIN INIT INFO | ||
| + | # Provides: mythdvr | ||
| + | # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog | ||
| + | # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog | ||
| + | # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 | ||
| + | # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 | ||
| + | # Short-Description: MythTV frontend boot steps | ||
| + | # Description: MythTV frontend boot steps | ||
| + | ### END INIT INTO | ||
| + | |||
| + | echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor | ||
| + | /usr/sbin/alsactl restore | ||
| + | |||
| + | case "$1" in | ||
| + | start) | ||
| + | echo "Starting mythdvr" | ||
| + | ;; | ||
| + | stop) | ||
| + | echo "Stopping mythdvr" | ||
| + | ;; | ||
| + | *) | ||
| + | echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/mythdvr {start|stop}" | ||
| + | exit 1 | ||
| + | ;; | ||
| + | esac | ||
| + | exit 0 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Run this to register the script:<code>update-rc.d YourScriptName defaults</code> | ||
| + | Run this to un-register the script:<code>update-rc.d YourScriptName remove</code> | ||
