dwf_starbandno toggle bit mask found. But I know for sure that RC6 has a toggle bit!00:04
dwf_starbanddoes that mean that my try at recordig the remote failed?00:04
dwf_starbandDaviey?00:08
dwf_starbanddo the mceusb receivers work with usb1.1?00:22
dwf_starbandi added my dishnetwork configuration to the bottom of the lircd.conf just like I have on my backend and my dishnetwork remote doesnt even work, so I dont think its a problem with the right config problem00:23
dwf_starbandthats what makes me wonder If its something with the hardware00:23
solarbabyDaviey: I am filling my database now with schedules direct00:31
solarbabydwf_starband: are you trying to get your USBUIRT to control your DishNetwork tuner?00:32
dwf_starbandno i already have everything setup on my backend00:32
dwf_starbandim just trying to get my frontend working,00:32
solarbabyoh alright.. I wrote a howto for that a little while back.. its a great little guide00:32
dwf_starbandi have a desktop/backend/frontend working (except fot the ocasional pink screen of death)00:33
solarbabyso is your frontend not handshaking with your database?00:33
dwf_starbandmy frontend works fine aswell, im just trying to get the remote to work with it00:33
solarbabyoh i see00:33
solarbabyI haven't configured multiple IR devices in Lirc yet..  I dont think its very hard though00:34
solarbabyI will be doing that at some point though00:34
solarbabywell I seem to have the same problem with schedules direct..  Hmmm..  not a big suprise but doubly upsetting00:39
hendrixskihey, since mythtv uses ffmpeg + mods as its internal media player00:53
hendrixskidoes it get packaged separately?00:54
hendrixskior are the ffmpeg libraries just a part of libmyth?00:55
directhexit's in mythtv/libs/libavcodec in the source tree, but it's all compiled into libmythavcodec01:02
hendrixskidirecthex, ah, K.  so it's all in the libmyth package in ubuntu... and not from the ffmpeg package01:05
directhexwell, no, since mythtv can't work without it, and the mythtv packages don't Depends: on ffmpeg01:05
hendrixskidirecthex, I checked the wiki to make sure that I wasn't being a dingus, and nowhere in there is there any reference about what the internal player is made of01:06
directhexthe internal player is the same player as myth uses for recordings. so the question is "what does mythtv use for its AV processing & displaying code", not anything specific to the internal player01:07
* hendrixski doesn't follow01:07
directhexit's not something that even matters unless you're a developer, and it's not something specific to the "internal player" - libavcodec is used in several places01:10
hendrixskidirecthex, well, like I said, I'm trying to get enough of an understanding of mythtv so that I can contribute stuff back to it in a developers capacity01:13
hendrixskiand I keep hearing "no hendrixski you're retarded, shut up and go read the wiki, don't ask us" so I go read the wiki, and of course it's not there01:14
hendrixskiis there a better resource for developers to get started other than the wiki?01:14
directhextypically? the source code. it's not enormously complex in any of the sections you'd want to go near01:18
directhexchrist, it's years since i've done any serious c++, hate the language generally, but i've hacked on the myth source "blind" and had changes go upstream01:19
solarbabyDaviey: If I had to guess, the zap2it xml scraper currupted my old database somehow01:21
solarbabyDaviey: its all working now..  too bad I had to delete my old database though..  that can drive a man to drink!01:21
directhexsolarbaby, well, if you must use the scraper to save $2001:21
solarbabyno I dont care about saving $20 at all01:22
solarbabyI just dont have access to my paypal account while im out of state01:22
solarbabyIf I could mail cash to schedules direct i'd do it right now..  instead I just signed up for another demo account until I can get some money in my paypal01:22
hendrixskilol..  it's not complex per se it's just illegible.  there's maybe 3 classes total that have any comments at all.01:23
hendrixskiprobably doesn't help that this is my first open source project I'm trying to get into... it probably gets easier as time goes on.01:25
directhexsome seactions are more heavyweight than others01:26
directhexand myth is rather large01:26
hendrixskiyeah, it's huge.01:27
hendrixskiI just rapped my head around the gContext thing last week... which made it feel a little more manageable than it did before I knew how that worked01:28
solarbabySD has much better performance.. more listing info]01:31
solarbabyand TVwish works with it01:31
zekethere a channel for knoppmyth?01:41
zekeguess not...01:44
solarbabyonly problem I have now is that mythweb can't access my new database01:47
zekeI try to do an aptitude dist-upgrade and it tells me I have lots of broken packages and unmet dependencies01:49
zekethis on knoppmyth...can't find a channel for that01:49
tgm4883_laptopzeke, use mythbuntu :)01:49
zekei.e. linux mce?01:50
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntu01:50
zekebasically the same thing isn't it?  both use ubuntu kernel as backend01:51
zekeor am I sorely mistaken?01:51
tgm4883_laptopso when i say mythbuntu, you hear linuxmce?01:52
zekeI'm just not sure of the difference01:52
zekenot trying to gainsay your advice01:52
tgm4883_laptopi dont know what linuxmce is based on01:54
zekeit said ubuntu kernel01:54
tgm4883_laptopi do know that it is a huge ripoff of plutohome01:54
tgm4883_laptophuge01:55
zekeheh01:55
tgm4883_laptopand i wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole01:55
foxbuntuLinuxMCE is more based on a morphed version of Pluto and MythTV01:55
tgm4883_laptoplinuxmce is a black mark on the existance of linux01:55
tgm4883_laptopimho01:55
zekehmmm01:55
tgm4883_laptopalmost as much as plutohome01:55
tgm4883_laptopi'm not sure which company makes me feel dirtier01:56
foxbuntulinuxmce is a project that will die at some point mearly because they burned the bridges back to the community01:56
tgm4883_laptopprobably01:56
zekepluto home freeware?01:56
tgm4883_laptopbunch of rip off artists01:56
tgm4883_laptopzeke, yes01:56
zekehmmm...then I guess it would be difficult to tell which one makes you feel dirtier01:57
* foxbuntu stabs linuxmce with a rusty spoon01:57
tgm4883_laptopno foxbuntu01:57
tgm4883_laptop$poke linuxmce01:57
foxbuntuhaha01:58
tgm4883_laptopi swear mythbot never works for me :(01:58

foxbuntuanywho...01:58
zekegui install with mythbuntu?  never had much luck with text installs01:58
tgm4883_laptopi feel better now01:58
tgm4883_laptopyes zeke01:58
zeketried it with freeBSD and got no desktop environment afterwards01:59
foxbuntuzeke, we have the cleanest and easiest install between then MythTV Derivitives01:59
zekeI'm listening01:59
foxbuntuzeke, our install is bascailly a Ubuntu LiveCD that asks a few extra questions to setup MythTV01:00
tgm4883_laptopyes01:00
foxbuntutroy_s, you there?01:01
zeke10' display?01:01
foxbuntuwhat?01:01
zekeI'm a bit hard of seeing it as it from here with knoppmyth01:01

MythbuntuGuest41I would like some assistance getting a mythbuntu connected to the backend on a frontend & backend combined install.01:39
fg_Hello! is someone there?01:44
toorima$hello01:45
fg_I've installed MythBuntu 7.10 on my pc and need some help to tune it up.01:45
toorimasay what you need help with and maybe someone can help01:47
fg_First, no sound comes out. My motherboard has an Intel hda sound controller. Driver software seems well choosen in the settings manager, but I cannot find sound controller software.01:48
toorimasearch ubuntuforums.org for your motherboard and sound but i think it is you have to load a module to get it to work01:49
tgm4883_laptopyou can select which audio device it uses01:51
MythbuntuGuest41I can't connect to the backend from a local frontend.  I've read the forums and am still unable to connect.01:54
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest41, what did you set the ip addresss to?01:56
MythbuntuGuest41localhost01:56
MythbuntuGuest41in the frontend01:56
toorimaMythbuntuGuest41: u need to set up the backend with its real ip and frontend to that ip01:57
tgm4883_laptopno01:57
tgm4883_laptopit should work either way01:57
tgm4883_laptopactually01:57
tgm4883_laptopit might not work with localhost, i've never tried01:57
tgm4883_laptop127.0.0.1 would work though01:58
toorimaoh local frontend01:58
toorimamy misstake01:58
tgm4883_laptopcan you start mythfrontend from the command line and look for errors01:58
fg_"mythbuntu alsa mixer" makes it.01:58
MythbuntuGuest41on the backend I have the real ip because I am going to use a remote frontend too.  let me verify the frontend ip.01:58
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest41, then activate the mysql service and use the real backend ip address01:59
MythbuntuGuest41I have setup mythbuntu on a frontend & backend with localhost for the backend and frontend and I cannot connect to the backend.03:21
MitoTraninwell... yeah, of course...03:21
MitoTraninthat's because you're telling the frontend to use itself as a backend, and that's not what you need to do03:21
MythbuntuGuest41This is a frontend and backend on the same machine.03:25
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest41, yes, you still need to use at least 127.0.0.103:26
tgm4883_laptopAFAIK03:26
MitoTraninah, well that makes it a little better, but still... it's always best to use your real IP03:26
MitoTraninand even if you don't, you want to use the localhost numbers, not name03:26
MitoTraninthe numbers are what tgm4883_laptop just mentioned, 127.0.0.103:26
MitoTraninbtw: hi tgm4883_ :)03:26
tgm4883_laptophi03:27
MythbuntuGuest41I had it setup with localhost numbers.03:27
tgm4883_laptopdid you ever get that serial IR receiver working?03:27
MitoTraninhaven't seen superm1 yet03:27
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest41, did you start the frontend from the command line and look for errors?03:28
MitoTraninand I really don't want to go screwing around with my install now that it's working 100% other than that03:28
MitoTraninI might setup a remote frontend to screw around with it there though03:28
MythbuntuGuest41I get errors saying it can't connect and it has timed out.03:29
tgm4883_laptopwhat ip address did you use?03:30
tgm4883_laptopin the backend setup03:30
MitoTraninare you sure the mythbackend is running properly?03:30
MythbuntuGuest41127.0.0.1, before that i was trying it's actual ip address.03:31
tgm4883_laptopcan you do03:32
MythbuntuGuest41The backend seems to be running fine.  I can get into mysql command prompt and I've done the mythconverg.03:32
tgm4883_laptop/etc/init.d/mythbackend start03:32
tgm4883_laptopyouve done what mythconverg?03:32
MitoTraninlol03:33
MitoTraninif you're running mythbuntu, you shouldn't have had to do ANYTHING with the command line, mysql, or mythconverg in order to get the system working03:33
MitoTraninif you've messed around with that stuff, you really need to mention what you did and why so that we know how to proceed, because otherwise there's no telling what type of condition your system is in03:34
MythbuntuGuest41I didn't at all until I tried to trouble shoot my frontend connection problems.03:34
MitoTraninso what did you do then?03:35
MythbuntuGuest41I get this when I restart "* Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables."03:36
MitoTraninthat's fine and normal03:37
MitoTraninthat just means it's *looking* for such things... it does not mean that it is finding such things03:38
tgm4883_laptophow does your backend get it's IP address03:42
MythbuntuGuest41I'm trying localhost, isolated backend & frontend only.03:43
tgm4883_laptophow does your backend get it's IP address03:44
tgm4883_laptophow does your backend get it's IP address04:00
MythbuntuGuest86I don't think that applies because I'm trying to get a combined frontend & backend to work.04:02
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest86, open up MCC04:04
tgm4883_laptopand test your connection to mysql04:04
MythbuntuGuest86k. I'll give that a try.04:10
MitoTraninMythbuntuGuest86: your IP always applies, regardless of how many systems you are using... and how your system obtains its IP applies as well...04:11
MythbuntuGuest86I can't test the mysql connection from the MCC, it's grayed out and I can't click the test button.04:20
tgm4883_laptoptheres your problem04:20
tgm4883_laptopwhat kind of install did you do?04:20
MythbuntuGuest86mythbuntu install on top of exising Ubuntu Gutsy desktop.04:23
tgm4883_laptophow did you install it?04:23
tgm4883_laptopany guides?04:23
MythbuntuGuest86Gutsy or Mythbuntu/04:24
MythbuntuGuest86?04:24
tgm4883_laptopmythbuntu04:24
MythbuntuGuest86I used the mythbuntu.org guide.04:27
tgm4883_laptopok04:28
tgm4883_laptopin MCC04:28
tgm4883_laptopwhat system roles are selected?04:28
MythbuntuGuest86backend Primary backend and frontend.04:29
tgm4883_laptopopen up synaptic and tell me if mysql-server is installed04:30
MythbuntuGuest86k. standby.04:30
MythbuntuGuest86Yes it is.04:31
tgm4883_laptopwhat about mythtv-database?04:31
MythbuntuGuest86yes that is too.04:32
MitoTraninquick question here... what is your intent of this machine?04:34
MitoTranindo you actually intend to use it as a workstation?04:34
MitoTraninor is it's only function to be a mythtv system?04:34
MythbuntuGuest86master backend with frontend.04:34
MitoTraninthat's not the answer to my question04:34
MitoTranindo you intend to use this computer as a workstation, or for anything else other than things dealing with MythTV?04:35
MythbuntuGuest86mythtv system and file server.04:35
MythbuntuGuest86not as a primary workstation.04:36
MitoTraninok... then tgm4883_laptop, feel free to back me up, or give other advice here... but MythbuntuGuest86, I hugely strongly suggest that you start from a clean slate and wipe/reinstall the system from the latest mythbuntu cd04:36
tgm4883_laptopMitoTranin, +104:37
MitoTraninI can promise with almost 100% surity, that your problems will be solved04:37
tgm4883_laptopyep04:37
tgm4883_laptopI dont know what you did to your system04:37
tgm4883_laptopbut it is fscked up04:37
MitoTraninAND, you will have better system performance, because you will be using xfce instead of gnome, AND you will have full integration, AND you will still have the ability to run the system as a file server04:38
MitoTraninthere are zero downsides, and a ton of benefits to you reinstalling right now04:38
MythbuntuGuest86I'll give it a try.  Thanks for the advice.  It's late here in Michigan so I'm going to have to try this tommorw, thanks again.04:40
MitoTraninwhy did he feel the need to mention his state?04:42
MitoTraninI'm in the same time-zone and don't feel the need for that :)04:43
* tgm4883_laptop shrugs04:43
MitoTraninso tgm4883_laptop any ideas on my remote?04:43
MitoTranin:)04:43
tgm4883_laptopthe serial receiver?04:44
MitoTraninyeah04:44
tgm4883_laptopnope04:44
tgm4883_laptopI think you will be ok with the guide04:44
MitoTraninhey, wasn't that meeting the other day?04:45
MitoTraninhow'd it go?04:45
tgm4883_laptopyep04:45
tgm4883_laptopwent good04:45
MitoTraninI was going to remind my cousin about that04:45
MitoTraninI doubt he remembered to go though04:45
tgm4883_laptopwho?04:46
MitoTraninmy cousin was going to come to it, he does quite a bit of programing04:46
MitoTraninand loves mythbuntu after I showed it to him :)04:46
MitoTraninhe's been a mythtv fiend for a while... actually the person who got me into it04:46
MitoTraninhe would have gone by Tim somehting04:46
* tgm4883_laptop shrugs04:47
tgm4883_laptopMitoTranin, how is your mirror doing?05:17
MitoTranintgm4883_laptop: syncing every night...05:19
tgm4883_laptophow much bandwidth used?05:19
MitoTraninhas had over 100gb usage since the release05:19
MitoTraninper day that is05:19
MythbuntuGuest39is there a reason the i386 7.01 mythbuntu install disk seg faults on start up on an XP1800+ on the ALiMaGIK chipset?05:19
tgm4883_laptopsweet05:19
MythbuntuGuest39I just can't figure out what's causing it05:20
MythbuntuGuest39it's a problem with ubuntu Feisty (at least) because feisty does the same thing05:22
tgm4883_laptopdoes the gutsy install cd work?05:23
MythbuntuGuest39I'm burning it right now05:23
tgm4883_laptopthe live cd that is05:23
MythbuntuGuest39I'll tell you in about 5 min05:23
MythbuntuGuest39ahhh... you know what...05:25
MythbuntuGuest39it may be a bad ribbon cable05:25
MythbuntuGuest39all sorts of weird things are happening with the drive now05:26
MythbuntuGuest39or a bad IDE channel (hopefully not)05:26
MythbuntuGuest39nope... the IDE channels and cables are actually good05:35
MythbuntuGuest39hmm05:35
MythbuntuGuest39both the i386 gutsy and feisty installs are seg faulting05:36
tgm4883_laptopbad drive?05:36
tgm4883_laptopbad memory?05:36
MythbuntuGuest39I'll run a memtest05:36
MythbuntuGuest39and a drive test05:36
MythbuntuGuest39and actually, I may be wrong about the IDE channel / cable... it just ran stably for slightly longer05:39
MythbuntuGuest39well, good call on the memory05:44
MythbuntuGuest39one of my older sticks went bad05:44
MitoTranintgm4883_laptop: I guess I was wrong... I hadn't checked my BW yesterday or today, the downloads have gone down05:45
tgm4883_laptopMitoTranin, how much?05:45
MitoTranin121gb 1st day, 219gb 2nd day, 105gb 3rd day, 70gb 4th, 58gb 5th05:45
MythbuntuGuest39will a back/frontend run decently with only 512MB ram?05:45
MitoTraninbut 58gb is still higher for a single day than it ever saw before release05:45
tgm4883_laptopmy calculations are they we are doing about 450GB per day05:45
MitoTraninhighest then was 5205:45
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest39, that should be fine05:46
MitoTraninI only run 51205:46
MythbuntuGuest39cool, well hopefully everything gets up and running now05:46
MythbuntuGuest39what does the message "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" mean when you're trying to start up05:58
MythbuntuGuest39*note that I don't have a SATA drive*06:05
MythbuntuGuest39shoot... I just read how difficult this problem may be on the forums06:06

zagibui have a rather noobish question: why is my new TV equipped with a 1366x768 panel, when 720p is actually 1280x720?15:58
Tarioverscan?16:00
zagibuon a digital panel?16:01
popeyyes16:01
popeymost TVs do that16:01
zagibuwhat for?16:01
popeyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan16:02
zagibuhmmm, ok, thanks...so what resolution should i use on my mythbox?16:03
zagibuyou know, I connected it to the tv using a DVI to HDMI cable16:05
zagibubut if I let it detect the screen automatically, it only presents me the modes 480p and 1080i16:06
zagibuand both don't fit on the screen (image is cropped at all sides)16:07
tafkazhm...mythbuntu runs pretty fine now...but does anyone here know how to use wythwelcome instead of mythfrontend as the starter ?16:19
tafkazthe xfce autostarrt function doesnt seem to help16:20
marcelzagibu: I use  720p as resolution16:25
marcelBut it also depends on your vidcard16:25
marcelif it alows u tio use the native panel resolution than use that one16:25
CanadianMangreetings16:25
zagibucould you show me the relevant entries in xorg.conf?16:25
marcelwell actualy it does that out of the box16:26
marcelbut that also depends on the type of tv u use16:26
marceland what information it reports back to your vidcard16:26
zagibuit's detected as generic, supporting 480p and 1080i, but it really is a 720p screen16:27
marcelwell it actuallu is 1366x768 :)16:28
marcelwhat vidcard u have ?16:28
zagibuan onboard intel16:29
marcelhmm dont know about that then16:29
marcelWait a few months until vc-1 and x264 are hw supported in ati  or nvidia drivers16:30
marceland by that one :)16:30
tafkazso everyone here uses mythfrontend instead of mythwelcome ?16:30
tafkazmythwelcome is the much better way to start myth...i cant believe its not the standard16:31
tafkazin mythbuntu16:31
marcelbtw i also switched my HDMI cabel from el-cheapo to a decent one. That work much better also16:31
tafkazbut its even worse, that putting it into the autostart doesnt work16:31
tafkazcant find any answers...16:32
marceltafkaz: I dont know wheter its packaged in mythbuntu.16:32
tafkazit is, and it works perfectly16:32
marcelBut it shouldn't be hard to add16:32
tafkazonly it will not start as autostart16:32
tafkazwell...thats what i thought16:32
tafkazbut i cannot get it to run....16:32
marceluse the control panel to disable autostart first16:33
tafkazi read some people have the same prob with mythbuntu, but i didnt find any answers16:33
tafkazi used the controlpanel to disable mythtv autostart, and then added mythwelcome16:33
tafkazthat causes my gui to hang after reboot16:34
tafkazhm but i try it again !16:36

solarbabyDaviey: Mythbuntu wins another point, and scrappers fall back.17:38
Davieysolarbaby: woot!17:38
solarbabyhehehe :)17:38
solarbabyDaviey: my appolagises for yesterdate, I was really fuming17:39
Davieyheh.. can be very much like that sometimes17:39
solarbabyNod..  as far as I knew I was totally done working all the bugs out..  and then WHOP!17:40
solarbabyThe Beauty is I finally got TVWish working when I switched over to SD.. and I love TVWish its a set of awesome scripts17:40
* Daviey knows nothing of TVWish17:41
Davieybut, scrappers _will_ break 'weekly'17:41
solarbabyI'll take care of that for you17:41
solarbabyyeah obviously..  I was stupid to even set one up17:41
solarbabyDaviey: http://www.templetons.com/brad/myth/tvwish.html17:42
Davieysounds good ^17:43
ckwis there a way to control the background recording that mythtv does for it live tv functions?17:43
Daviey"background recording"17:43
Daviey?17:43
ckwprobably a bad choice of words17:44
solarbabyIts not a LIVETV based deal, it just adds more content to your list of recordings17:44
ckwwhen i launch myth and watch for a while and then turn it off i end up with files in excess of 100 MB sometimes in /var/lib/mythtv/recordings17:45
solarbabyRead the page carefully..  it makes MythTV way more programmable then Tivo will ever become17:45
dwf_starbandDaviey: do the mceusb remote receivers work on usb 1.1?17:46
dwf_starbandin mythbuntu?17:46
ckwis there some way to define a limit on the space that it will use?17:46
ckwfor example...i have been watching for 45 minutes and i have a resulting file in excess of 600 mb and growing....when i close myth that file remains...i dont want that to happen17:48
solarbabythat'll be scary when I finally fill my 500 gig drive17:49

just1njits been years since i have played much with irc bots20:37
* just1nj had to give up irc to finish college20:37
just1njanyway, from what i can figure the mythfrontend script does a lot of checking of stuff when invoked in service mode, but does not bother to check to see if the the script or the real frontend is already running20:40
just1njwhich is genearlly a good idea if you running something as a service and that is what i am thinking my problem is,20:41

mythbotmythfrontend is the front-end program. This program runs on the computer you watch TV on. There can be more than one frontend connect to a backend at one time.21:33
ckwI had a perfectly working mythtv setup going on a single machine...i reconfigured the backend as the primary and setup the laptop with the frontend and got it all working except now i have no sound at all on either machine....just in myth...system sound works otherwise on both...i am starting to research this but thought it wouldnt hurt to lay it out here in case someone might know whats up off the top of their head.22:16
Tariyou might have it muted in myth22:16
CanadianManwhere do i set samba to start on boot up in mythbuntu?22:19
TariI think it starts by default22:21
ckwTari:i thought of that....however when i try to use f9 to toggle mute i get no display anymore....likewise with f10 and f1122:22
CanadianManif i reboot my box i have to ssh into and run sudo /etc/init.d/samba start to share files again22:22
ckwTari:i mean that i get no display of the volume control...not that i lose the main display22:23
