[12:23] <Xenocide> no nasty blue people either
[12:24] <Xenocide> so much smoother than edgy
[12:24] <majoridiot> vg
[12:24] <majoridiot> :)
[12:31] <Xenocide> ah crap
[12:31] <Xenocide> im getting that stretched TV problem
[12:49] <Xenocide> had to disable xV overlay
[12:49] <Xenocide> majoridiot, might want to add that to your guide
[12:50] <Xenocide> for ati cards that are missing half the screen reconfigure with "aticonfig --overlay-type=opengl or aticonfig --overlay-type=disable"
[12:51] <majoridiot> k
[12:51] <majoridiot> ty
[12:54] <majoridiot> Xenocide: that aticonfig is a sudo, correct?
[02:58] <williammanda> hey major
[02:58] <majoridiot> hola
[02:59] <williammanda> i just finished adding more to the remote....
[03:00] <williammanda> added mouse function....and some more programs
[03:00] <majoridiot> excellent
[03:01] <majoridiot> i've never played with the mouse function... how's that work out?
[03:01] <williammanda> I couldn't get to work for mplayer..like you did...had to use dcop
[03:01] <williammanda> the mouse was as easy to setup as mythtv
[03:01] <majoridiot> it wouldn't work at all for mplayer?
[03:01] <williammanda> i posted it on ubuntu
[03:01] <williammanda> no...mplayer
[03:02] <williammanda> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405009
[03:02] <williammanda> i attached my files in the thread
[03:03] <williammanda> brb..going to blockbuster
[03:30] <williammanda> back
[03:30] <majoridiot> try the reply
[03:30] <majoridiot> ;)
[03:31] <williammanda> ok
[03:47] <williammanda> no luck major
[03:48] <majoridiot> none of the keys work?
[03:48] <williammanda> nope
[03:48] <majoridiot> wtf?
[03:49] <williammanda> this was one of the first programs i tried to use the remote with....
[03:49] <majoridiot> those entries are from my working mplayer entries
[03:49] <williammanda> it drove me crazy for 2 nights
[03:49] <majoridiot> how are you launching mplayer?
[03:49] <williammanda> i'm using mepis 6.5...which uses kde
[03:50] <williammanda> i use the gui..kmplayer...
[03:50] <williammanda> then i can select either mplayer or xine
[03:50] <majoridiot> ah
[03:50] <majoridiot> i thought you were using mplayer with mythvideo
[03:51] <williammanda> sorry
[03:51] <majoridiot> sec...
[03:51] <majoridiot> lemme order a pizza...
[03:51] <williammanda> sure
[03:55] <majoridiot> hm
[03:56] <majoridiot> i just launched gmplayer, which is the gnome frontend and it worked fine.
[03:57] <williammanda> where did you get the "mPlayer" from?
[03:58] <majoridiot> from another lircrc when i was putting mine together
[03:58] <majoridiot> it's always worked.
[03:58] <majoridiot> ok...
[03:58] <majoridiot> look in ~/.mplayer
[03:58] <majoridiot> see if there is anything in the config file
[04:00] <williammanda> nope
[04:00] <majoridiot> ok
[04:00] <majoridiot> and your .lircrc file is in ~
[04:00] <majoridiot> ?
[04:00] <williammanda> /home/william/
[04:01] <williammanda> or ~/.lircrc
[04:01] <majoridiot> hm
[04:01] <majoridiot> this makes no sense.
[04:02] <majoridiot> that is where mplayer looks for it by default
[04:05] <majoridiot> ok, try this...
[04:06] <majoridiot> from a terminal"
[04:06] <williammanda> k
[04:08] <majoridiot> sorry... tested it first
[04:08] <majoridiot> mplayer -vo xv <path to a video file>
[04:10] <williammanda> played the video file
[04:11] <majoridiot> remote work at all?
[04:11] <majoridiot> play/pause?
[04:12] <williammanda> yes..looks like they all work
[04:12] <majoridiot> :)
[04:12] <majoridiot> it's the launcher
[04:12] <majoridiot> (btw... mplayer or mPlayer... doesn't seem to be case sensitive)
[04:13] <majoridiot> but the commands were, etc.
[04:13] <williammanda> k...good to know
[04:13] <majoridiot> see if there are mplayer launch options you can set in the launcher prefs
[04:16] <william> this what is in the kde menu for lauching mplayer....
[04:16] <william> kmplayer -caption "%c" %i %m %U
[04:17] <william> had to change computers
[04:18] <majoridiot> gotta read up... not familiar with it at all.  sec.
[04:23] <majoridiot> try this:
[04:23] <majoridiot> open up the config file in ~/.mplayer
[04:23] <majoridiot> and enter
[04:24] <majoridiot> lircconf=/home/william/.lircrc
[04:24] <majoridiot> and try running it from kmplayer
[04:26] <william> nothing
[04:26] <majoridiot> it was a shot
[04:26] <william> or no remote functions
[04:26] <majoridiot> well.. you need to read the kmplayer docs to figure out why it's not launching with lirc
[04:27] <william> kde 3.5.3
[04:27] <william> ok i will
[04:33] <majoridiot> do you have/need kdelirc installed?
[04:35] <william> not this computer
[04:35] <majoridiot> dunno
[04:35] <majoridiot> well, at least you know it will work... once you figure you how to force it to.
[04:36] <majoridiot> ;)
[04:37] <william> yes...the quest goes on!
[05:13] <william> is this an error to get concerned with?
[05:13] <william> 2007-04-13 23:05:02.607 DVBChan(0) Warning: Symbol Rate setting (0) is out of range (min/max:5056941/10762000)
[05:13] <william> i get this in the console for the backend
[05:18] <majoridiot> looks like a database error
