[00:55] Anyone have any bright ideas on the best way to get my IR receiver to work with Mythbuntu the best? [00:55] http://irblaster.info/receiver.html [01:12] MitoTranin, did you look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Gutsy [01:34] BeBopBop..Bop [01:38] tgm4883_laptop: yes, but because of the majorly customized lirc in mythbuntu, I didn't want to go screwing around with that until I knew that there wasn't something else like it [01:38] in reality, just a standard IR receiver like this is a lot more common than a lot of the other setups that are listed in the remote control configs [01:39] that's why I'm actually quite surprised something like "Serial IR" or something like that isn't a standard option [01:39] MitoTranin, ask superm1 when he gets back on. I think he has that serial adapter [01:40] I'll try to catch him, thanks :) [01:40] that's the only thing left stopping me from using my MythTV actually on my TV right now [01:41] which would be very cool to have... since I've been working on getting a MythTV system working on it for almost 2 years [01:41] well, 1.5 years [01:42] thats a long time [01:42] While I'm on that subject... don't ever buy anything from this guy: http://www.home-electro.com/ [01:42] I had a real battle getting the USBUIRT working with Dish Network, but after 2 weeks I solved it and wrote a howto for it [01:43] I had my system working 99%, all that was left was getting the IR to work [01:43] but that stupid IRA-3 never worked in linux [01:43] it'd work in windows fine, but not linux [01:43] MitoTranin: what does the IR have to talk too? [01:43] a remote control [01:43] I just need it to receive from the remote control... that's it... [01:43] MitoTranin: thats an interesting setup.. sounds like it shouldb't be that hard? [01:44] yeah, well, the IRA-3 doesn't use a standard driver [01:44] it uses a slightly customized version of the IRman driver [01:44] but that customization never works [01:44] I even called up the guy, told him about my problems, and he said he'd work on it and get it to work [01:45] MitoTranin: when I was having such a hard time getting the UIRT to work, I was debating running Windows in VMware just for remote functions [01:45] gave him 2 months, emailing periodically asking for updates [01:45] finally called him back, and I got him to tell me the truth, in that he never even personally tested it in linux, even though he says it works, and that he never worked on it after I called him the first time [01:46] at that time, I demanded my money back... he reluctantly agreed, and said he would send it to me... [01:46] I never got anything from him, and now I can't get in touch with him anymore [01:46] and never did? [01:46] yet he's still selling them [01:46] brb [01:46] lame.. sounds like you should just be able to buy a $15 IR Blaster and go to town [01:47] hey guys [01:47] I just like you bought something that wasn't well supported by LIRC, and my device costed $50 and I bought it way before I started using Myth.. so I struggled for 2 weeks to make this device work.. but it works now.. I was sooo tempted to just spend $15 and buy a IR Blaster, I probably should have [01:47] Hello williammanda [01:48] i'm getting a blue-ish screen sometimes after being in mythtv and returning [01:48] I've never had that problem [01:49] ex. watch a program in mythtv and going into xine to watch a dvd [01:49] I still haven't tested watching DVD's on Myth Yet [01:49] I have to reboot my computer to correct it [01:49] I should probably do that sometime [01:49] I have a core 2 duo [01:50] My Xbox's can access Mythtv through a program I run on the Xbox.. so when I play Dvd's I play them straight through the xbox itself bypassing mythtv all together [01:50] several people are having the same problem on ubuntu forums [01:50] i do the same...get out of mythtv to play dvd's [01:51] nod [01:51] I dont want to do anything to make Myth unstable.. its working lovely [01:52] right now I have programs recording....but I can't watch anything....in mythtv or xine...blue-ish screen [01:52] I'd say get a Xbox, but nobody listens to me :) [01:52] williammanda: have you tried to exit the frontend and go back into it? [01:53] or possibly do a ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X? [01:53] solarbaby: yeah, well, the website made it look like all I had to do was tell lirc that it was an IRblaster... it lied... [01:54] anyways, I finally gave up on it, and just used MythTV for recordings etc and just watched them through my PC [01:54] then my tuner died, and I couldn't even do that [01:54] MitoTranin: I remember following some directions that sounded like that.. I ended up reinstalling to get LIrc back to default [01:54] so I got a new one, and couldn't get it to work under Fedora, so I changed to normal Ubuntu [01:54] Mito....I can do that....but I would like to correct what is getting me into that situation [01:54] still couldn't get it to work after a while, found Mythbuntu, and tried that [01:55] still couldn't get it to work... but finally after sitting down and working with it for a while, and spending a LOT of time in IRC, I got that working [01:55] MitoTranin: so are you just going to go buy a IR Blaster now? and solve the case? [01:55] now all I need to do is get my new IR working, and I'm FINALLY able to use my MythTV on my TV! [01:55] MitoTranin: sweeet [01:56] solarbaby: no, I gave up on the whole ira-3 thing a long time ago [01:56] it's sitting here, doing nothing... [01:56] I have this now: http://www.home-electro.com/ [01:56] err, bah [01:56] MitoTranin: I understand where your coming from.. I was lucky that googling gave me just enough answers after 2 weeks of it to get my hardware working [01:56] nobody follow that link, he's a theif... I'll get the right link [01:56] here's the right one that I have now: http://irblaster.info/receiver.html [01:57] google did me no good... [01:57] BUT, thankfully, I now have it figured out... [01:57] my cousin bought the same tuner [01:57] used my instructions, and got his working [01:58] now, superm1 is going to try to get the tuner supported directly in Ubuntu, and my cousin is getting someone to get it into the linux kernel itself [01:58] yay! [01:58] that looks inexpensive.. god I haven't used a serial anything for such a long time [01:59] sweeet [01:59] are you setup for HDTV? [01:59] thats something i'd like to do with my next box [01:59] I went the easy route with my current hardware.. Hauppauge 350 [02:00] It seriously pays off to get well supported hardware [02:04] Nx decoder seems to be the problem [02:04] yeah, well my tuner that died was a PVR-350 [02:04] damn [02:04] sorry Xv [02:05] williammanda: does that give you enough info to plug into google and get a solution? [02:05] This points to a problem with the Xv extension [02:05] this is what xine says...through google [02:05] that should be well documented I would think... any solutions listed? [02:06] only for xine...not mythtv [02:06] so the question still remains....what is the solution for mythtv? [02:06] solarbaby: I originally had a pcHDTV 3000, but since I found out that I don't have any over-the-air HDTV near me, and I don't plan on paying $200/mo for cable anytime soon, I sold it on ebay while my PVR-350 was broken [02:07] williammanda: for playing content such as that, mythtv uxes xine I believe [02:07] so try that solution and see if it works [02:07] brb, baby is fussing [02:07] i don't use xine for media playback [02:07] only dvd..... [02:08] i watch pre-recorded shows through mythtv [02:09] if you guys don't have a solution please say so.... [02:09] I'm by no means a mythtv expert... I would wait for others and see what they say [02:09] ty [02:09] I would also check out #mythtv-users and see if anyone over there knows anything [02:10] i can never get an answer there.....they expect you to be a expert to start off with... [02:11] in my year experience with mythtv....they have answered about 5 % of my questions [02:11] tgm4883_laptop: any ideas? [02:12] brb [02:12] tgm...wakeup [02:15] Hey Everyone, when I try to watch Live TV MythTV reports "No Lock" with my pcHDTV 5500 cards. [02:16] Also, when I try to record a show the recording always fails. [02:16] Why? [02:17] I have 3 dsp devices (/dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2), and my two cards are set to use dsp1 and dsp2. [03:07] im trying to get a remote working on my frontend only machine, i have selected the mce old version and when i push buttons on the remote the reciver lights up, but it doesnt do anything in the myth-frontend, when i try irw in the terminal it "hangs" waiting for input but pushing buttons on the remote doesnt register on the screen. [03:28] I tried the "new" mce phillips and got the same results [03:29] any ideas? [03:33] hey [03:34] im trying to set up my tv... but it always says no valid modes for my modelines [03:34] but I dont know what is breaking the modeline [03:34] is there any way to just force no checks at all? [03:34] I am already turning off a lot of checks [04:01] anybody here tonight? [04:01] me [04:02] trying to get my tv working [04:02] have you activated your restricted drivers? [04:04] yes [04:05] it rejects all my modelines [04:05] nvidia? [04:05] yes [04:05] are you using the nvidia-settings to change the settings? [04:06] no [04:06] because it doesnt put the right resolutions there [04:06] the highest it shows there is 1024 [04:06] I need 1280x720 [04:06] oh, then its above my head, sorry [04:07] yea [04:07] fucking impossible [04:07] works from OS 10 [04:08] im pretty new, but it seems the impossible always turns out to be pretty simple, its just finding the simple solution [04:17] anyone around that knows about setting up a remote in mythbuntu? [05:00] dwf_starband2, what remote [05:06] mce 1069 shown here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote#Older_remote [05:07] i dont need to transmit, its just a frontend but I do need it to receive [05:17] it seems that usb isnt working now, I thought it was kind of flakey earlier when i tried using a usb mouse and it was too jerky to use. are there issues with usb not working with mythbuntu instillations? its a pretty old computer so im sure its not usb2 if that makes a difference [05:21] hello? [05:32] USB works fine over here.. right out of the box [05:33] So far my keyboard,mouse,dvd burner, USbUirt, are all working with usb.. and I didn't have to do a thing [05:34] ok, new computer or older? [05:35] both on a newer and older.. usb2.0 and 1.1 [05:36] chances are your computer is dog old ;) [05:36] it is, I know its old but with a video card it plays video fine, what more do I really need for a frontend? [05:37] good point [05:37] its a p3 [05:38] my laptop is a p3 and it works on that too [05:38] well under 1.0ghz i dont remember what , ive been playing with a couple of old computers lately [05:38] video out isn't working on it though [05:38] i think like 666 or something like that [05:40] im downloading 100mb of updates so maybe there is something in that mess that will help [05:43] yeah thats a good idea [12:34] hi [12:34] although i just posted to the forum [12:34] maybe someone in here can help me directly :) [12:34] I have a mac mini and would like to use it as a frontend [12:34] but my wlan is not working correctly [12:35] the problem is that I cannot connect to my wpa2 secured router [12:35] I see him but cant connect [12:35] is it a problem with wpa2?? [14:29] $test [14:30] therethinker: mythbot being a yoyo? [14:33] Yeah [14:42] Hmm... I could make a second bot that recessitates mythbot... [14:42] that would be... interesting and overcomplicated :P [16:14] Okay -- now mythbot should auto-resurrect itself [16:35] therethinker, is this a test? [16:35] I'm protecting the secret channel [16:35] I hate to kick mythbot [16:35] *had [16:36] ah [16:38] $die [16:38] I die frequently. It's my prerogative. Watch out though, one of these day's i'm taking ubotu with me. [16:39] :P [16:39] I suck at /mode'ing [16:43] Grahh-- I can't protect my second bot! [16:43] or the first one, for that matter [16:47] can someone help me? #mythbot [17:14] hi there....mythbuntu 7.10 here 64 bit... i treid to update to the weekly builds....and now have loads of problems.... [17:14] somehow trunk packages have come into the update [17:14] although i followed the description for the normal updates [17:15] is there a way to downgrade the packages back to cd version ? [17:15] i have a dump of the database of course [17:16] i thought that mybe synaptics force version would help.....but that thing behaves very strange [17:17] tafkaz, can you pastebin your sources.list [17:17] besides i have huge problems with wlan now on ubuntu 7.10 [17:17] yes moment [17:19] http://pastebin.org/6142 [17:20] i don't see any weekly builds in there [17:20] any1 know when new weeklybuilds for trunk wil be avaiable ? [17:21] um, weekly? [17:21] i took them out again [17:21] besides they would be in a sources file in sources.list.d [17:22] then can you list your old sources.list file? Perhaps sources.list~ [17:22] mythbuntu-gutsy.list and it contains [17:23] deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu gutsy multiverse universe restricted main [17:23] yea, that would be the trunk repo [17:23] not the regular repo [17:23] can i test my dvb-t-tuner with the mythtv livecd? [17:23] hmmmm then the descripitionis wrong [17:23] deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu feisty multiverse universe restricted main [17:23] let me check it [17:23] sec [17:23] echo "deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu feisty multiverse universe restricted main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mythbuntu-feisty.list [17:24] and i just changed feisty to gutsy [17:24] ok [17:25] you must have went farther down the page and grabbed trunk when you did it [17:25] oh my.....i just saw the mythbuntu-trunk there [17:25] yup....you'Re absolutely right ! [17:25] shit... [17:25] ok [17:25] sec [17:25] let me see what we can do [17:25] can i turn back ? [17:26] good ! [17:26] thanx [17:26] i could just uninstall everything and reinstall from weekly builds [17:26] as i have the mysql db dumped (from before the update [17:27] what deb line can i use best for weekly trunk ? uk.weeklybuilds or weeklybuilds ? [17:27] marcel__, where do you live? [17:27] allthough maybe i would better first install the cdrom-packages then reread the db and then update with WB [17:28] .nl I always used uk. but i just added the line u pposted [17:28] tafkaz, sec [17:28] ok [17:28] and now i get updates [17:28] marcel__, they are the same repo, just different servers [17:28] weird, or did u just add new weeklybuilds / [17:28] ? [17:28] marcel__, sec, let me finish with this first [17:29] oki [17:29] tafkaz, [17:29] is there a way to revert from trunk to the regular repo builds [17:29] or to the regular weekly builds [17:29] yes, by installing the old packages and using the database backup to go back to the old state. [17:29] both steps are mandatory [17:29] ok... [17:30] ok [17:30] marcel__, what do you mean did we just add new weekly builds? There are weekly builds of both 20.2 and of trunk [17:31] so i would uninstall every trunk-pkg...then install the old cdrom packages (which i hope will be found by apt...) restore the db, and everything will work ? [17:32] well I have the uk deb line. But for the past 4 weeks there weren't any new weekly builds. I Just switched to the weeklybuilds deb and now i get updates. So i was wondering if they were out of sync [17:33] hmm, [17:33] marcel__, let me check on that [17:33] Also should i add medibuntu repos ? or are they not needed ? [17:33] oki [17:33] tafkaz, sec [17:33] yup [17:34] tafkaz, you could use the regular ubuntu repos for the mythtv install because it's the same as the cd [17:34] ok....i will try now... [17:35] ok...back and tryi9ng to reinstall [17:35] cross your fingers [17:38] marcel__, can you post your sources.list [17:38] deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu gutsy multiverse universe restricted main [17:38] before it was deb http://uk.weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu gutsy multiverse universe restricted main [17:38] k [17:38] sec [17:41] to restore the database....what is the best way ? [17:42] mysql < backup.sql ? [17:42] hm...ok but drop and recreate before ? [17:42] marcel__, i'm checking with the uk mirror, but he is afk right now [17:42] i'd drop before [17:42] ok [17:42] np ill use the other one to update [17:45] its doing something !!! [17:46] :-) [17:47] New mythbot features! [17:47] $additem. [17:47] format '$additem:keyword:description' -- Not everyone can do this, only mythtv devs! [17:47] $changeitem. [17:47] format '$changeitem:keyword:description' -- Not everyone can do this, only mythtv devs! [17:47] (the . is there to say the help text, instead of executing) [17:48] $changeitem:update:New add/changeitem commands (for help, say "$additem." or "$changeitem." ), a secondary bot to reboot me when I die [17:48] Changed help file for update [17:49] worked like charm ! [17:49] thank you [17:49] anyone know of an adjustable wall mount for a 37in lcd screen [17:49] good to hear tafkaz [17:49] yup [17:49] I haven't, no [17:49] i want it to adjust left right, not just up down [17:49] tilt i mean [17:50] echo "deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu gutsy multiverse universe restricted main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mythbuntu-gutsy.list [17:50] is that the correct command now ? [17:50] should be [17:51] thats not trunk [17:51] ok [17:51] good so ! [17:51] hehe....update er now... [17:52] ups... i meant.... [17:52] hehe....update looks much better now [17:57] hello [17:57] $hello [17:57] Welcome to #Ubuntu-mythtv. Please state your question or comment.

[20:20] hey couple questions: is it possible to make the frontend to just library and act like like a WMC from a samba file server? and also what is the cheapest working tuner? [20:31] MythbuntuGuest30, install mythvideo [20:32] on a front end system or the unit that has it mythbuntu fully installed?> [20:35] what sort of tuner? [20:35] as directhex says.. use mythvideo and point the video directory to the mount point for samba [20:36] hi [20:36] $hello [20:36] Welcome to #Ubuntu-mythtv. Please state your question or comment. [20:36] MythbuntuGuest30, mythvideo is a frontend plugin [20:37] MythbuntuGuest30, as for tuners, depends on what you want to record from [20:41] 461,000 [20:41] Oh, sorry [20:42] MythbuntuGuest30, HD or SD? [20:44] sd [20:44] i wont be affording HD anytime soon :D [20:46] PVR-150 [20:48] the hauppauge i saw on the website as most supported, Is the $53 one from newegg work or should i spend 10-20 more on a diff version of it? [20:50] if it's the PVR-150 it will work [20:50] afaik, all PVR-150's work OOB [20:50] alright sounds good. thank you for the advice [20:50] a PVR-500 is good [20:50] if you want dual tuners [20:51] ive used linux for a while but this mythtv stuff is kinda confusing at times. ah. i dont have a need for a dual tuner... yet >.> [20:53] Take care and thank you again [21:09] I've got a strange new problem.. Upcoming recordings is not listing anything passed tomorrow.. even though the conflicts page shows 2 pages full of stuff to be recorded with no conflicts [21:10] heh so much for a perfect install [21:13] I have 12 days worth of guide data too [21:13] frag [21:28] Im starting to disslike MythTV [21:29] it can't tease me by being stable for a week, and then not list any upcoming recordings for the next week even though they are all progammed in [21:31]
