| claybo | Hey everyone. I'm running Mythbuntu RC1 for the current release (am currently upgrading everything) and can't get my DVB card to work. It is recognized and can be set up as a tuner, but when I go to scan channels in QAM 256, nothing locks despite it showing a signal of 99%. When in KnoppMyth, everything locks fine. Anyone have any idea what I'm overlooking? | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| sung | hey there guys | 00:42 |
| sung | so, i've two pc-5500 cards in this a machine running mythbuntu 7.10 | 00:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | claybo, what card? | 00:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sung, yea? | 00:43 |
| sung | and uh, i go to search for channels | 00:43 |
| sung | and it says that signal strength is 0% | 00:43 |
| sung | but i know i've got a good antenna and can receive good signal | 00:44 |
| sung | ( i used the same antenna/etc with an hdtv ) | 00:44 |
| sung | looks like i got everything configured and setup okay | 00:44 |
| sung | dmesg shows me that it is seeing the cards in the machine | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sung, what did you set as your frequency? | 00:45 |
| sung | broadcast | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | interesting | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and what did you set the cards up as? | 00:45 |
| sung | now ,doesnt look like the system has the misc. tools | 00:45 |
| sung | broadcast | 00:45 |
| sung | i'm uessing | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 00:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | um | 00:45 |
| sung | hold on one sec | 00:45 |
| sung | capture cards setup as | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in capture card setup | 00:46 |
| sung | pcHDTV DTV capture card (w/4L drivers) | 00:46 |
| sung | video device /dev/video0 | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea thats wrong :( | 00:46 |
| sung | ah | 00:46 |
| sung | what should i be using? | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to set it up as | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec, let me look it up | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I think it's dtv card | 00:46 |
| sung | dvb ? | 00:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 00:47 |
| * tgm4883_laptop smacks his head | 00:47 | |
| tgm4883_laptop | set it up as a dvb card, you should see it detect right away | 00:47 |
| sung | ryup | 00:47 |
| sung | exchrm | 00:47 |
| sung | a lot of the stuff is referring dit dishnet stuff | 00:48 |
| sung | and other sat stuff | 00:48 |
| sung | looks like same problem | 00:48 |
| sung | freq table: broadcast | 00:48 |
| sung | atsc modulation: terrestrial (9-VSB) | 00:48 |
| sung | 8 vsb rather | 00:48 |
| claybo | tgm4883_laptop, I'm using an AverMedia A180. | 00:49 |
| claybo | I'm plugging the coaxial into my LCD TV right now and it picked everything up, so the cable is definitely working. | 00:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 00:50 |
| sung | screwy | 00:51 |
| sung | now it can't ope the card | 00:51 |
| sung | no messages in syslog | 00:52 |
| sung | ah figured it out | 00:53 |
| sung | got ist scanning again | 00:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sung, did you remove the cards that you put them in as first? | 00:53 |
| sung | but no signal strenght | 00:54 |
| sung | tgm, didn't understand | 00:54 |
| sung | ojh | 00:54 |
| sung | IT PICKED UP OEN | 00:54 |
| sung | woot | 00:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so it's working? | 00:55 |
| sung | i think so | 00:55 |
| sung | interesting that signal strenghth is at 0% though :/ | 00:55 |
| sung | i'm guessing that it's not accurate | 00:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well mine shows up accuratly for the channels I do receive | 00:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | claybo, hmm not sure | 00:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | claybo, it's detected properly in mythbuntu? | 00:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | Hi, I have some questions about transcodeing | 00:57 |
| sung | tgm, thanks very much for your help | 00:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | np | 00:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !ask | MythbuntuGuest95 | 00:57 |
| ubotu | MythbuntuGuest95: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:57 |
| claybo | tgm4883_laptop: it's detected properly, it seems like. It sees its chipset in mythtv-setup and everything. It's just that when I go to scan channels, it shows a signal of 99% and a signal/noise ratio of 93% to 60%, and nothing locks. | 00:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 00:58 |
| claybo | What's interesting, too, is that plugged directly into my LCD TV, I'm getting strong locks on way more channels than I was getting in Knoppmyth. | 00:58 |
| claybo | I at least got locks in Knoppmyth, though. | 00:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well i see one person with that card in the forums, but they don't say how they got it working | 00:58 |
| claybo | So now I'm wondering if it's something with my card, or some settings not quite being dead-on? | 00:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | im wondering if you need to get the firmware for it (probably) | 00:58 |
| claybo | Hmm, good thinking. | 00:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | claybo, take a look at this. It's for feisty, but may have some good info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_hardware_list#head-cf80b2fb0dccd57465e5d45f55e8e34f54bc4a19 | 00:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | I've poked around several forums and wikis about diffrent methods of transcodeing and exporting from the .nuv format to something playable in windows enviroment. Everyone seems to have there own ideas and own programs. What does Mythbuntu come with built in? | 01:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest95, are you wanting to use mythtranscode? | 01:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | Yes, if that is preloaded. I'm intrested in learing how to porperly transcode before I install a bunch of extra software I don't really understand. | 01:02 |
| solarbaby | thats funny my Hauppauge TV 350 TV out works better if I unflag the option to use PVR-350's TV out/MPEG Decoder from the MythFrontend | 01:02 |
| solarbaby | hehe.. not sure why | 01:02 |
| dwf_starband | ive selected Enable vnc service in the MCC and selected a password, i restarted the computer but am getting a "No password configured for VNC Auth" error when I try to access it from the Terminal Server Client in gutsy | 01:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest95, install mytharchive, that should get you what you want | 01:03 |
| sung | tgm4883_laptop: is there a recommended way of doing vnc-like remote control with my myth box? | 01:05 |
| dwf_starband | sung: im trying to figure that out too, | 01:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | good question tgm4883_laptop, | 01:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | I have noticed the vnc service and enabled it, but can't connect to it with a RealVNC client | 01:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sung, dwf_starband i dont think i understand what your trying to get here | 01:07 |
| sung | tgm4883_laptop: so, i've got a mythtv box, but i want to control whatever i'm seeing on hte screent | 01:07 |
| dwf_starband | I want to be able to access my mythbuntu computer from another computer for administrative purpouses | 01:07 |
| sung | normally xvnc would do it | 01:07 |
| sung | is that okay? | 01:07 |
| sung | dwf_starband: i'm doing all the console stuff through ssh | 01:08 |
| sung | but id''d rather not get off my lazy ass to do this when i've got a laptop | 01:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dwf_starband, vnc is a bad way to do that | 01:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your talking about running mythtv-setup and such right? | 01:08 |
| dwf_starband | what is better? and why is it part of the control center then? | 01:08 |
| sung | tgm4883_laptop: i just want to do it remotely | 01:09 |
| dwf_starband | its all set up, but if I want to change something later I want to be able to do it without having to plug a keyboard mouse and monitor into it | 01:09 |
| dwf_starband | cuz all ill have pluged into it is the tv and network cable | 01:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | a better way of running things remotely is to ssh in | 01:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | Where can find mytharchive? | 01:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ssh ipaddress -X -Y | 01:09 |
| dwf_starband | i can do that, but im very new at the command line | 01:10 |
| sung | would | 01:10 |
| sung | x11vnc does it | 01:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest95, it's in the repos | 01:10 |
| dwf_starband | what do the -X and -Y do? | 01:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it will let you open the gui program on your own computer | 01:12 |
| dwf_starband | oh, ok | 01:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest95 | sorry not sure what "repos" is | 01:12 |
| tritium | MythbuntuGuest95: repositories, where packages are kept | 01:13 |
| dwf_starband | thanks, that helps alot, I think thats all I need | 01:13 |
| sung | argh. | 01:13 |
| sung | tgm4883_laptop: fyi, x11vnc is a great thing for doing this | 01:14 |
| dwf_starband | i just tried it and it worked, im sure I still have lots to learn about it, but at least now I have someplace to start | 01:14 |
| sung | inital setup makes it a lot easier | 01:14 |
| sung | welp | 01:14 |
| sung | looks like my sound isnt working :( | 01:14 |
| claybo | tgm4883_laptop: thank you! You are a wonderful person. My A180 is picking up channels perfectly with the updated firmware. Don't know how I missed that in my Google searches, but it provided everything I needed. Thank you! | 01:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no prob claybo | 01:24 |
| sung | hrmm | 01:36 |
| sung | how do you set the default sound output | 01:36 |
| claybo | Hey guys, one more quick question: when I turn on OpenGL vertical sync, my video is scrambled. Is there any kind of known issue in Mythbuntu with OpenGL? | 01:47 |
| sung | okay | 01:53 |
| sung | got that working | 01:53 |
| sung | asoundconf 4tw | 01:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | is ubuntu able to span multiple disks to one logical volume OR recorde to multiple disks? | 01:53 |
| sung | okay, now remote receiver issues | 01:53 |
| sung | it comes across as 1784:0007 | 01:53 |

| Daviey | superm1: how come you put it into your ppa and not mythbuntu's? | 02:12 |
| superm1 | Daviey, because that is where the weekly builds go | 02:12 |

| MythbuntuGuest05 | Looks like spanning drives isn't so much recomended. Is there a way to make an aditional drive avalible myth for recording? | 02:15 |
| superm1 | Daviey, please tell me you'll pushed the weekly builds by now right? | 02:18 |
| Daviey | superm1: No! I told you earlier in the week that my PPA's are pushing | 02:19 |
| Daviey | and you said you would push it! | 02:19 |
| superm1 | Daviey, i thought you were going to fix them | 02:19 |
| superm1 | no i didn't | 02:19 |
| superm1 | you said you would sort it out.... | 02:19 |
| Daviey | don't make me dig out the logs... ;) | 02:19 |
| superm1 | i didn't agree to push them, because i specifically remember hitting <ctrl>+c when you said you would sort it out | 02:20 |
| superm1 | because i was about to | 02:20 |

| pcglue | superm1, that PPA update removed mythweb and apache. how can i get them back? | 02:25 |
| superm1 | reinstall them | 02:25 |
| superm1 | it shouldn't have removed them though. | 02:25 |
| superm1 | that's pretty odd. | 02:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | sorry, what is "trunk"? | 02:27 |
| pcglue | superm1: actually, now that I look at the console output, it removed a bunch of stuff, mythweather, dvdauthor, ffmpeg, mythcontrols, mythdvd, etc. | 02:28 |
| Daviey | superm1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1593/plain/ | 02:28 |

| * tgm4883_laptop is off to eat dinner | 02:30 | |
| * Daviey accepts superm1's a-poor-logy | 02:30 | |
| superm1 | pcglue, you need to dist-upgrade then probably | 02:31 |
| superm1 | it sounds liek something didn't get updateed | 02:32 |
| superm1 | did it say something was held back? | 02:33 |
| pcglue | superm1, it says they were not used and will be removed | 02:35 |
| superm1 | well why did you let it do that? | 02:36 |
| superm1 | apt-get autoremove is the only thing that will do that | 02:36 |
| Daviey | doesn't aptitude do autoremove as default? | 02:39 |
| Daviey | did you use aptitude? | 02:39 |
| pcglue | daviey, yeah it was aptitude | 02:39 |
| tritium | Daviey: yes, it does | 02:39 |
| superm1 | regardless those shouldn't have been marked autoremovable | 02:39 |
| superm1 | remember that was fixed at beta | 02:39 |
| pcglue | i reinstalled mythweb, but there's some apache config error now | 02:40 |
| superm1 | this is one of those reasons that i hate aptitude btw. | 02:40 |
| Daviey | agreed.. | 02:40 |
| * tritium gasps | 02:40 | |
| Daviey | and the fact that it pulls in recommends as default :/ | 02:40 |
| Daviey | *bloat* | 02:40 |
| superm1 | Daviey, um | 02:40 |
| superm1 | you didn't hear the spec this week then | 02:40 |
| superm1 | as of hardy | 02:40 |
| superm1 | recommends by default | 02:40 |
| Daviey | ffs! | 02:40 |
| Daviey | why?! | 02:40 |
| superm1 | that's what debian switched to | 02:41 |
| superm1 | a few days ago | 02:41 |
| Daviey | packages such as smartmontools recommends mailx or mailutils... really something that isn't required for just checking | 02:42 |
| Daviey | so there is now no difference between depends and recommends? | 02:42 |
| superm1 | well they both get installed | 02:42 |
| superm1 | but recommends can be removed safely | 02:42 |
| superm1 | if you don't want malix or mailutils installed with smartmontools by default, file a bug | 02:43 |
| Daviey | that stinks imo.. what session was this in? | 02:43 |
| superm1 | make it suggests | 02:43 |
| superm1 | hardy-ecommends-by-default | 02:43 |
| superm1 | hardy-recommends-by-default | 02:43 |
| Daviey | aww.. i missed that one | 02:43 |
| Daviey | were there any objections? | 02:43 |
| superm1 | yeah | 02:43 |
| Daviey | *good* | 02:43 |
| superm1 | i brought up how much would get installed on an existing system | 02:44 |
| superm1 | and it was explained that universe is where the real trouble is | 02:44 |
| superm1 | and it won't affect existing systems | 02:44 |
| superm1 | its only new recommends added to the packages on existing systems that are upgraded | 02:44 |
| superm1 | but if you do a fresh install of a package then you get them | 02:44 |
| superm1 | if you dont want them, then fix the package | 02:44 |
| Daviey | and dist-upgrading to hardy will also cause it? | 02:44 |
| superm1 | because its a bug and not using the depends/recommends/suggests properly | 02:44 |
| superm1 | only items that additionally made recommends between the two versions on the dist-upgrae | 02:45 |
| Daviey | seems unclean imo | 02:45 |
| superm1 | well its happening | 02:45 |
| superm1 | so there is nothing to change that now | 02:45 |
| superm1 | and like i said that is how debian does it now too | 02:46 |
| superm1 | its the way that policy explains suggests and recommends anyway | 02:46 |
| Daviey | heh bug #158909 | 02:46 |
| Daviey | filed 6 hrs ago | 02:46 |
| Daviey | bug #158909 | 02:47 |
| Daviey | ubotu: wake up | 02:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wake up - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:47 |
| Daviey | anyway "smartmontools recommends mailx" | 02:47 |
| superm1 | ubotu doesn't know bugs in this channel somehow | 02:47 |
| superm1 | !bug 158909 | 02:47 |
| superm1 | nope... | 02:48 |
| Daviey | 6hrs ago.. that's a coincidence if ever i saw one | 02:48 |
| superm1 | this spec was yesterday or the day before | 02:49 |
| Daviey | yeah, i saw it on the schedule - but didn't read the spec.. | 02:49 |
| Daviey | ah well | 02:49 |
| superm1 | i updated the mythtv recommends in bzr | 02:50 |
| superm1 | to move things like that around | 02:50 |
| Daviey | I suppose it's good that the change is happening now rather than in 3 months time | 02:53 |
| Daviey | I do fear how many extra bugs this create | 02:53 |
| superm1 | well and we have known it was cmoing for at least 5 months | 02:53 |
| superm1 | when it was announced on the debian mailing list | 02:53 |
| Daviey | i missed that. | 02:54 |
| superm1 | it was just a decision of whether we adapted it | 02:54 |
| Daviey | anyway.. bed time for me.. catch you tommorrow | 02:56 |
| superm1 | night | 02:56 |
| Daviey | nn | 02:57 |

| sung | okay, if anyone is around, i could really use some help with lirc: | 03:11 |
| sung | i needed to patch one of the config files, lirc_mceusb2.c, for support for the usb receiver that's in this case. | 03:12 |
| sung | now how do i build it from there? | 03:12 |
| sung | all of the instructions that i've found from googling/et al don't work | 03:12 |

| steve_baker | ... anything running kernel 2.6.22 or greater uses the new firewire architecture that is INCOMPATIBLE with MythTV | 03:26 |
| steve_baker | lol, k, sorry, just was hoping to find someone who could point me in the right direction | 03:26 |
| superm1 | um | 03:27 |
| superm1 | !pastebin | steve_baker | 03:27 |
| ubotu | steve_baker: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:27 |
| superm1 | seriously | 03:27 |
| superm1 | and that is incorrect about 2.6.22 firewire not working with myth | 03:27 |
| superm1 | that's only in fedora | 03:27 |
| superm1 | er correction | 03:27 |
| superm1 | at least in ubuntu | 03:27 |
| superm1 | we haven't adapted the new stack | 03:28 |
| steve_baker | sorry bout the pasting, will read up on pastebin | 03:28 |
| superm1 | i know tgm4883 has things with firewire working | 03:28 |
| steve_baker | i know that the 8300 isn't on the tested list | 03:28 |
| superm1 | i personally haven't done firewire for 1.5+ years | 03:28 |
| superm1 | so i can't be of too much help for it | 03:28 |
| superm1 | if tgm4883 isn't around, make a forums post | 03:29 |
| steve_baker | but figured if i could get it working i could add it :) | 03:29 |
| superm1 | and he goes through | 03:29 |
| steve_baker | k | 03:29 |
| steve_baker | thx :) | 03:29 |

| steve_baker | your right, much better | 03:31 |
| frozenskunk | Anyone feel like helping me figure out why I can't get some channels from SchedulesDirect removed from my local guide, despite removing on my SD lineup? | 03:36 |
| cbrunner | hey superm1 | 03:39 |
| superm1 | hi9 | 03:39 |
| cbrunner | for some reason I cant get vnc to operate on the same display as myth tv | 03:39 |
| cbrunner | I want it to be display 0 | 03:39 |
| cbrunner | when I do vnc4server :0 | 03:39 |
| cbrunner | it says a vnc server is already running as :0 | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | but when I try to connect it says connection failed: connect() | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | but it will connect to display 1 | 03:40 |
| superm1 | cbrunner, that's not how you start vnc in mythbuntu | 03:40 |
| superm1 | go into mcc | 03:40 |
| superm1 | turn it on there | 03:40 |
| superm1 | and restart X | 03:40 |
| superm1 | and it will be on | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | I did turn it on there | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | thats how I turned it on | 03:40 |
| superm1 | and you restarted the computer (or at least X)? | 03:41 |
| dwf_starband | anyone around? | 03:43 |
| cbrunner | superm1 trying now | 03:43 |
| cbrunner | let me see | 03:44 |
| cbrunner | oh sweet | 03:45 |
| dwf_starband | i was in here a little bit ago asking about remote access to mythbuntu and was told that the best way was ssh ipaddress -X -Y | 03:45 |
| cbrunner | it worked doing that | 03:45 |
| cbrunner | thanks superm1 | 03:45 |
| cbrunner | a ton | 03:45 |
| dwf_starband | so i tried it and it worked, so I unpluged it and set it up where Im going to be using it | 03:45 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, either that or vnc will work | 03:46 |
| superm1 | if you want gui | 03:46 |
| superm1 | like just cbrunner did | 03:46 |
| dwf_starband | and realized that it was still set up for a monitor and not the tv, so i ssh'ed into it and opened nvidia-settings | 03:46 |
| dwf_starband | but it seems to be seeing the monitors connected to my desktop not my mythbox | 03:46 |
| superm1 | you need to run nvidia-settings in VNC | 03:47 |
| superm1 | or directly on that box | 03:47 |
| dwf_starband | am i just parinoid or is that actually what is hapening? | 03:47 |
| === cbrunner is now known as CCB0x45 | ||
| CCB0x45 | superm1, thanks for your help so much last night | 03:48 |
| CCB0x45 | getting X configured | 03:48 |
| dwf_starband | ok, how do i get vnc working, thats what I wanted to know, when I was told to use ssh | 03:48 |
| CCB0x45 | I was in a pissed off mood after dealing with it forever | 03:48 |
| CCB0x45 | but I finally got it working | 03:48 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, open up mcc | 03:48 |
| superm1 | and turn it on | 03:48 |
| superm1 | and reboot | 03:48 |
| superm1 | and that's it | 03:48 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, what'd you have to do eventually? | 03:48 |
| dwf_starband | i tried that already before and i wasnt able to connect to it | 03:49 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, the important part is that you need to reboot | 03:49 |
| superm1 | or restart x | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1, well | 03:49 |
| dwf_starband | I did and still it doesnt work | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1, something is buggy with the nvidia drivers | 03:49 |
| dwf_starband | "No password configured for VNC Auth" | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | it was validating my mode remember you couldnt see why it wasnt | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | and I turned verbose logging to 6 | 03:49 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, you are final version right? | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | and it was even saying | 03:49 |
| CCB0x45 | The mode is valid, for the res I wanted | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | and never adding it to the mode pool | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | and not giving a reason why | 03:50 |
| dwf_starband | im not sure, how do i check the version? | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | so I had to do what you said, turn off certain validation tests | 03:50 |
| superm1 | oh i didn't realize that you could go that high on verbose logging | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | yea, it does even more logging | 03:50 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, you downloaded the final iso | 03:50 |
| superm1 | i'm asking | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | but I had to turn off certain validations and not other | 03:50 |
| superm1 | this isn't a RC | 03:50 |
| superm1 | or anything like that | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | I couldnt have all off.... | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | and finally it validated a mode that normally wouldnt be valid | 03:50 |
| dwf_starband | it might not have been the final one, i cant remember | 03:50 |
| CCB0x45 | and added that to the mode pool | 03:50 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, yeah that was my experience before too when i had to use overrids | 03:50 |
| dwf_starband | it was a week or two ago | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | even though it said it validated the right one | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | but never added that to the modepool | 03:51 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, well there was a bug with VNC fixed with the final | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | either way | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | it works now | 03:51 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, so its important to check | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | I also found out my tv can do | 03:51 |
| dwf_starband | how? | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | 1080p | 03:51 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, please document this somewhere so that people can find this | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | which might be nice to play with | 03:51 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, either on the forums, or the wiki, or both | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | yea once I get it set up, I lan on adding to the wiki | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | plan | 03:51 |
| CCB0x45 | I just wanna finish configuring it first | 03:51 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, well while this is fresh in your head, maybe a good idea to get it all down on a forum post | 03:52 |
| superm1 | and then move it to the wiki later | 03:52 |
| superm1 | and format it and such | 03:52 |
| CCB0x45 | ill put my xorg on there | 03:52 |
| dwf_starband | is the version documented somewhere on the installation? | 03:52 |
| superm1 | i think the most important part is the process | 03:52 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, ^ | 03:52 |
| superm1 | because how you figured out the invalid mode is information that i know i never found | 03:53 |
| superm1 | but figured out | 03:53 |
| CCB0x45 | ok ill make sure to write it up | 03:53 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, you can check the version of mcc | 03:53 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, that's where the bug is | 03:53 |
| CCB0x45 | yea when you turn on verbose 6, it shows you every single mode its trying to validate | 03:53 |
| CCB0x45 | and why each one didnt get validated | 03:53 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, dpkg -l | grep mythbuntu-control | 03:53 |
| superm1 | that's exactly what i remembered from last time i had to do it too | 03:54 |
| superm1 | great :) | 03:54 |
| CCB0x45 | yea im so stoked, looks awesome in 720p | 03:54 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, well and by doing this, your tv is better than your friends' tv eh? :) | 03:54 |
| dwf_starband | 0.10-0ubuntu1 | 03:54 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, you're not on the final version then. | 03:54 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1, no his tv works without having to do what I did, with the same mode | 03:54 |
| CCB0x45 | that is what is weird, and its exactly the same tv | 03:54 |
| CCB0x45 | same EDID settings | 03:54 |
| dwf_starband | is there a way to upgrade? easily? | 03:54 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, well apt-get update/upgrade, but also download the deb that is here http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mythbuntu-control-centre/mythbuntu-control-centre_0.11-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb | 03:55 |
| CCB0x45 | but for some reason I had to do it to get mine working | 03:55 |
| CCB0x45 | no rhyme or reason | 03:55 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, but i mean yours does 1080p | 03:55 |
| superm1 | whereas his doesn't | 03:55 |
| dwf_starband | which do you recomend? | 03:55 |
| CCB0x45 | no, his does too | 03:55 |
| CCB0x45 | we just realized it by looking at the EDID | 03:56 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, you have to do BOTH | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | the thing is the TV isnt supposed to really do 1080p | 03:56 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, or you need to reinstall from a fresh ISO | 03:56 |
| dwf_starband | oh, ok | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | it was one of the first versions of the tv that does do 1080p but it only supported it over firewire | 03:56 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, so it takes in 1080p, but doesn't render in 1080p? | 03:56 |
| superm1 | or what? | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | but we found out that if you put it in hdmi port 2 and turn it to pc mode, it can do 1080p | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | it does render in 1080p | 03:56 |
| superm1 | cool | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | but the only way its documented of accepting it is firewire | 03:56 |
| superm1 | then leave it in 1080p i say :) | 03:56 |
| CCB0x45 | yea someone else realized it with their ps3 | 03:57 |
| tritium | superm1: where did you say I could tweak nvidia settings to correct for overscan? | 03:57 |
| CCB0x45 | if they set it to HDMI port 2 and do PC mode | 03:57 |
| CCB0x45 | it says it doesnt know the resolution but still displays it in 1080p | 03:58 |
| superm1 | tritium, mcc, nvidia-settings | 03:58 |
| CCB0x45 | pretty nice | 03:58 |
| superm1 | and that's it | 03:58 |
| CCB0x45 | ok office is on, gotta go! | 03:58 |
| superm1 | cya CCB0x45 | 03:58 |
| CCB0x45 | thanks again superm1, ill be sure to add that stuff | 03:58 |
| superm1 | directhex, btw^ see EDID works! ^ | 03:58 |
| superm1 | :) | 03:58 |
| dwf_starband | it warns me that an older version is avaliable and I should use it instead, should I continue with this one? | 04:00 |
| superm1 | install it | 04:00 |
| superm1 | like i said. | 04:00 |
| tritium | superm1: where? | 04:02 |
| tritium | I don't see anything there to correct for overscan | 04:02 |
| superm1 | click your tv | 04:02 |
| superm1 | and there are sliders | 04:02 |
| pcglue | after installing mythweb, the browser will try to download a php file instead of displaying the output. PHP works in other directories, only in the mythweb directory will it try to download a php file. Any ideas what's wrong? | 04:02 |
| dwf_starband | do I need to restart or anything before using it? | 04:02 |
| superm1 | pcglue, libapache2-module-php5 | 04:03 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, no. | 04:03 |
| superm1 | but you need to apt-get update/upgrade as well | 04:03 |
| superm1 | and then start it | 04:03 |
| tritium | superm1: hmm, no sliders | 04:03 |
| superm1 | tritium, well then you're not using a tv. | 04:03 |
| superm1 | :) | 04:03 |
| tritium | superm1: I sure am :) | 04:03 |
| dwf_starband | I did that before, do i need to do it after? | 04:03 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, no you shouldn't need to then still | 04:04 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, so choose reconfigure on vnc | 04:04 |
| superm1 | tritium, i doubt that. either that or you cant do it for your tv out type | 04:04 |
| tritium | I'm using DVI -> HDMI into my JVC HD-61Z786A (720 D-ILA TV) | 04:04 |
| pcglue | superm1, libapache2-module-php5 is installed. it's only in the mythweb directory that the browser will try to download a PHP file. In other directories, PHP works. | 04:05 |
| dwf_starband | but you said i do need to restart after reconfiguring vnc? | 04:05 |
| superm1 | pcglue, clear your FF cache | 04:05 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, yes | 04:05 |
| dwf_starband | ok thanks | 04:05 |
| tritium | Perhaps you can't adjust for overscan with DVI out. | 04:05 |
| superm1 | tritium, no you can't | 04:06 |
| superm1 | only for composite, svideo, and component | 04:06 |
| pcglue | superm1, thanks. | 04:06 |
| tritium | superm1: maybe I'll try for component, although I prefer DVI | 04:06 |
| superm1 | tritium, you need to adjust it on the tv level | 04:06 |
| superm1 | tritium, you can look in your tv's service menu | 04:07 |
| tritium | superm1: okay, thanks | 04:07 |
| superm1 | tritium, but i'll give you my 3 cents on the matter | 04:07 |
| tritium | What's that? | 04:07 |
| superm1 | tritium, the DVI specification used by tvs leaves in overscan | 04:07 |
| superm1 | and that's why you see it | 04:07 |
| tritium | Would you switch to component? | 04:08 |
| superm1 | unlike on a normal monitor | 04:08 |
| superm1 | tritium, well you have 3 solutions | 04:08 |
| superm1 | (1) most preferable in my opinion: VGA | 04:08 |
| superm1 | (2) DVI with a custom modeline to account for overscan | 04:08 |
| superm1 | (3) component | 04:08 |
| tritium | I've had no luck with custom modelines in the past. | 04:08 |
| superm1 | neither have i | 04:09 |
| tritium | Nor with VGA. | 04:09 |
| superm1 | have you tried vga on this tv though? | 04:09 |
| superm1 | or just in the past had bad experiences | 04:09 |
| tritium | My TV basically says it only supports 1024x768@60Hz | 04:09 |
| superm1 | yuck. | 04:09 |
| superm1 | that's what the EDID says? | 04:09 |
| tritium | Nothing else seems to work, and it ends up centered in the middle with lots of black space around it. | 04:09 |
| tritium | I'd have to verify that. | 04:10 |
| tritium | I've not hooked up VGA in a long time. | 04:10 |
| superm1 | tritium, well also | 04:10 |
| superm1 | tritium, myth can be resized | 04:10 |
| tritium | I have myth resized already | 04:10 |
| superm1 | to account for overscan | 04:10 |
| superm1 | i see | 04:10 |
| tritium | But I'd like to see the panels :) | 04:10 |
| pcglue | when you guys use VGA, is the motion jerky? my tv's vga is a lot more jerky than s-video or composite when using mythtv. | 04:10 |
| superm1 | eh they're overratedd | 04:10 |
| superm1 | pcglue, not at all. | 04:11 |
| tritium | superm1: :) | 04:11 |
| superm1 | sounds like it would be due to using a higher resolution | 04:11 |
| tritium | yikes, batter dying... | 04:11 |
| tritium | battery, even | 04:11 |
| dwf_starband | vnc still doesnt work, but I realized that I had the tv on the wrong input and it seems that it realized what was pluged in already | 04:14 |
| dwf_starband | i would still like to get vnc working though, it its something simple, otherwise dont worry about it | 04:14 |
| superm1 | dwf_starband, well is the vnc module loading | 04:21 |
| superm1 | check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:21 |
| superm1 | just grep it for | 04:21 |
| superm1 | "vnc" | 04:21 |
| dwf_starband | the command is "grep vnc" ? | 04:23 |
| superm1 | grep vnc /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:24 |
| dwf_starband | (II) LoadModule: "vnc" | 04:24 |
| dwf_starband | (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libvnc.so | 04:24 |
| dwf_starband | (II) Module vnc: vendor="RealVNC Ltd" | 04:24 |
| superm1 | so it loaded fine | 04:24 |
| superm1 | nmap localhost -ant | grep 5900 | 04:24 |
| superm1 | and see if its listening | 04:25 |
| superm1 | er just nmap localhost | 04:25 |
| superm1 | even | 04:25 |
| dwf_starband | nmap is not installed | 04:25 |
| dwf_starband | just a second | 04:25 |
| dwf_starband | there are a couple listed but 5900/tcp open vnc is one of them | 04:29 |
| dwf_starband | dont worry about it, i dont need it for now | 04:32 |
| superm1 | well its listening then | 04:32 |
| superm1 | my money is on your client issues then | 04:32 |
| superm1 | not on the server side of it | 04:32 |
| dwf_starband | is there a better client than the one that comes with ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| dwf_starband | it can see tightvnc on my windows machine just fine | 04:33 |
| dwf_starband | you guys are doing a great job with mythbuntu, keep up the great work | 04:38 |
| dwf_starband | thanks | 04:38 |
| JThundley | I'll second that | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | hey im tryint to compile a different version of lirc that has the driver I need | 04:55 |
| CCB0x45 | and its giving this error when I configure | 04:55 |
| CCB0x45 | configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 04:56 |
| CCB0x45 | actually I think I know the issue | 04:57 |
| superm1 | your asking for trouble compiling lirc, you will have to recompile if any new kernel comes out | 04:59 |
| superm1 | you are better off having it work with the lirc modules shipped if you can | 04:59 |
| CCB0x45 | well that one doesnt have support for my ir blaster and remote | 05:00 |
| superm1 | what ir blaster and remote? | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | so... I think this is all I can do | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | PVR 150 | 05:00 |
| superm1 | yes you can. | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | hauppage | 05:00 |
| superm1 | look at the forums | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | it doesnt show up in the list | 05:00 |
| superm1 | the forums has a thread discussing it | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | ok let me check it out | 05:00 |
| superm1 | there were a few thigns that came up after release | 05:00 |
| superm1 | but people have sorted it out | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | the mythbuntu forums? | 05:01 |
| superm1 | (one of the items requires something from my ppa, i helped to solve the problem) | 05:01 |
| superm1 | yes | 05:01 |
| CCB0x45 | ppa? | 05:01 |
| superm1 | honestly i wish people would browse the forums more for solutions first | 05:01 |
| superm1 | before thinking compiling it themselves is the best idea | 05:01 |
| CCB0x45 | sorry but there is a huge tutorial showing how to set it up | 05:01 |
| superm1 | because it leads to later complications usually (like what i'm describing if newer kernels come up) | 05:02 |
| CCB0x45 | I figured on following that | 05:02 |
| superm1 | so if you're lurking in here and you catch someone else trying to compile something, point them at the forums first, (hence also why i wanted you to put your EDID mishaps and such there and on the wiki) | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | ok I will, I cant find this thread one sec | 05:03 |
| superm1 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587732&highlight=pvr+150 | 05:04 |
| CCB0x45 | ah | 05:04 |
| CCB0x45 | shouldnt have searched for hauppage | 05:04 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 05:08 |
| CCB0x45 | this is kind of hard to follow | 05:10 |
| CCB0x45 | one sec | 05:10 |
| superm1 | the jist of it is follow http://help.ubuntu.com/Install_Lirc_Gutsy | 05:10 |
| superm1 | but make these changes first | 05:10 |
| superm1 | as in the first post | 05:10 |
| CCB0x45 | well | 05:11 |
| superm1 | er https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Gutsy | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | I added the ppa... then I went to synaptic manager and installed it | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | then installed lirc | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | and it trys to configure lirc | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | but the pvr 150 isnt in there | 05:11 |
| superm1 | thats fine | 05:11 |
| superm1 | that's for "remotes" | 05:11 |
| superm1 | choose the closest thing | 05:11 |
| superm1 | which is the hauppauge remote | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | well I need to get my remote working too | 05:11 |
| superm1 | and then follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Gutsy#head-6559a7d145224976113e808c33411621122a58f3 | 05:11 |
| CCB0x45 | the module im looking for is | 05:12 |
| superm1 | you'll just need to change /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to use lirc_pvr150 | 05:12 |
| superm1 | its included with gutsy | 05:12 |
| CCB0x45 | ah I think it worked now | 05:12 |
| CCB0x45 | should I remove the modules that were there before? | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | the guy in the first thread said he did | 05:14 |
| superm1 | right | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | but it doesnt say that in the other | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | ls | 05:14 |
| superm1 | i've heard that it only works with one module in place | 05:14 |
| superm1 | once you sort things out here, i think it'd be great if you can update that Install_Lirc_Gutsy page with the items necessary, and perhaps comment on that thread to make him link to the Install_Lirc_Gutsy page | 05:15 |
| CCB0x45 | ok | 05:15 |
| CCB0x45 | well I copied the firmware in | 05:15 |
| stevetv | gents.. is there a backup script included in mythbuntu? | 05:18 |
| * stevetv should probably take better notes when im doing things | 05:19 | |
| stevetv | err.. i mean to backup the file system.. not the recordings | 05:20 |
| superm1 | rsync -avz from to? | 05:20 |
| stevetv | that wouldn't make a bootable recover disk tho | 05:21 |
| CCB0x45 | someone said I could test this by running irw | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | and seeing if remote commands come through | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | but I run it and its ust blank | 05:22 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, you may need to unload the modules and reload them | 05:22 |
| superm1 | because the old i2c module might be loaded still | 05:23 |
| CCB0x45 | you cant just restart lirc? | 05:23 |
| CCB0x45 | how do you unload them? | 05:23 |
| superm1 | i'm just saying you may need to | 05:24 |
| superm1 | its not for sure | 05:24 |
| superm1 | rmmod lirc_i2c | 05:24 |
| superm1 | rmmod lirc_pvr150 | 05:24 |
| superm1 | sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 05:24 |
| superm1 | will load only necessary modules then | 05:24 |
| CCB0x45 | seg faulted when I did the pvr150 rmmod | 05:25 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 05:25 |
| CCB0x45 | when I try to restart it hangs after stopping lirc deamon | 05:25 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, you installed that package from the ppa right? | 05:26 |
| CCB0x45 | yea I believe so... | 05:26 |
| superm1 | sounds to me like its not on your system right now | 05:26 |
| CCB0x45 | I went to add third party packages | 05:26 |
| CCB0x45 | I added the line | 05:26 |
| CCB0x45 | then I went to synaptic | 05:26 |
| superm1 | and it upgraded? | 05:27 |
| CCB0x45 | I searched for linux-ubuntu-modules | 05:27 |
| CCB0x45 | the only with a little star with it | 05:27 |
| CCB0x45 | I clicked that and marked it for upgrade | 05:27 |
| CCB0x45 | and applied | 05:27 |
| CCB0x45 | its linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic | 05:28 |
| CCB0x45 | installed version 2.6.22-14.40~ppa1 | 05:28 |
| superm1 | okay that's right | 05:28 |
| CCB0x45 | I think it did the lirc upgrade at the same time | 05:28 |
| CCB0x45 | would that matter? | 05:28 |
| superm1 | well at this point i'd just restart for sanity's sake | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | ok one sec | 05:29 |
| superm1 | since it sounds like things are in a state of flux | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | does that module add support for the remote too? | 05:29 |
| superm1 | you know between this and the pvr 350 bug people have been hitting, i wish that more people would have tested support for these things before we mastered the "final" disk :( | 05:30 |
| superm1 | that's my understanding | 05:30 |
| CCB0x45 | I built my system after the final disk | 05:30 |
| CCB0x45 | ok 1 sec | 05:30 |
| superm1 | yeah people started to report these issues a few days ago | 05:30 |
| superm1 | for the 350 and 150 | 05:30 |
| CCB0x45 | I wish my wireless card would work too | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | ok I rebooted | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | is there any way to see if its loaded? | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | ah | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | I did a dmesg grep lirc | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | looks like its loaded now | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | http://pastebin.com/m14b90108 | 05:34 |
| CCB0x45 | but still reading no commands... | 05:34 |
| superm1 | you've got a lirc_imon? | 05:36 |
| superm1 | why? | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | autodetected that | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | but I want it | 05:36 |
| superm1 | you can't have both | 05:36 |
| superm1 | not easily at least | 05:36 |
| superm1 | its one or the other. | 05:36 |
| superm1 | that's your problem here. | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | wait what is my lirc imon? | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | I thought that was my VFG | 05:36 |
| superm1 | that's what i'm asking you | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | VFD | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | I mean | 05:36 |
| superm1 | is that what you are intending to use to capture remote? | 05:37 |
| superm1 | or the pvr150? | 05:37 |
| CCB0x45 | pvr150 | 05:37 |
| CCB0x45 | cause I need to blast | 05:37 |
| CCB0x45 | with its ir blaster | 05:37 |
| superm1 | so you are blasting and receiving from the pvr 150 | 05:37 |
| superm1 | correct | 05:37 |
| CCB0x45 | well can I blast from the 150 and recieve from the imon? | 05:37 |
| superm1 | this is why i'm asking you | 05:37 |
| CCB0x45 | id like to do that if possible | 05:37 |
| superm1 | is that what you wanted to do | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | I didnt know the vfd had a remote input | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | on it | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | but if it does id like to use it | 05:38 |
| superm1 | i would recommend against it for now | 05:38 |
| superm1 | because it makes this a very complex setup | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | thats fine | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | honestly whatever is easier | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | I just want it to work | 05:38 |
| superm1 | any time you need to setup two lirc devices using different drivers it gets rough | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | ok | 05:38 |
| superm1 | then you need to blacklist lirc_imon | 05:38 |
| superm1 | if you don't know how to blacklist, then google it | 05:39 |
| CCB0x45 | I know how | 05:39 |
| CCB0x45 | ok one sec | 05:39 |
| superm1 | i've got to get to bed though | 05:39 |
| superm1 | catch you later k | 05:39 |
| CCB0x45 | ok | 05:39 |
| CCB0x45 | thanks | 05:39 |
| levander | Is there like some lm-sensors applet for XFCE? | 05:40 |
| levander | I'm having trouble with heat on my Mythbuntu box. | 05:40 |
| CCB0x45 | HAHA it works! | 05:48 |
| levander | Why when I do a Channel Scan in MythTV setup does it only find channels 2-13 from my cable provider, and nothing above that? | 06:23 |
| pcglue | How can I find out what version of lirc is in use? | 06:32 |
| CCB0x45 | how long should mythfilldatabase take | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | the first time | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | its been going for a long time | 06:37 |
| pcglue | CCB0x45: yeah, it takes a while | 06:44 |
| pcglue | i don't remember how long exactly. I want to say 45-60 min | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | it finished | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | guess it just takes forever | 06:45 |
| CCB0x45 | setting up the channel changing is a bitch | 06:45 |
| CCB0x45 | fuck | 07:28 |
| CCB0x45 | why aint this working | 07:28 |
| solarbaby | CCB0x45: not going smoothly I take it? | 07:45 |
| CCB0x45 | ugh | 07:57 |
| CCB0x45 | I set up my ir 150 blaster | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | comes with the pvr 150 | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | and I am using the codes | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | that this tutorial says should wor | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | work with my dish network 811 | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | and the red light flashes but its not responding | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | to any of them | 07:58 |
| CCB0x45 | YES | 08:06 |
| CCB0x45 | I got it to work | 08:06 |
| CCB0x45 | WOOOHOO | 08:06 |
| CCB0x45 | anyone here? | 08:42 |
| JThundley | we're all sleeping | 08:46 |
| CCB0x45 | i know my remote is working | 08:51 |
| CCB0x45 | to control my myth tv box | 08:51 |
| CCB0x45 | but it isnt configed for any of the controls | 08:51 |
| CCB0x45 | how do I do that? | 08:51 |
| CCB0x45 | and also how do you play mythtv streams? | 08:51 |
| JThundley | mine worked out of the box, I had to tweak it only a tiny bit | 09:03 |
| JThundley | are you using the remote that came with your 150? | 09:03 |
| JThundley | I use a 250 | 09:04 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | I had to do a bunch of shit | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | to set it up | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | but now I know its reading the commands right | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | oh fuck nm | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | im an idiot | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | it is working | 09:06 |
| CCB0x45 | wow | 09:06 |
| JThundley | lol | 09:06 |
| JThundley | you have to restart mythfrontend after you restart lircd | 09:07 |
| JThundley | because it's so quiet in here and nobody's watching I'm inclined to share this picture with you: http://www.JThundley.com | 09:08 |
| JThundley | luckiest picture ever | 09:08 |
| CCB0x45 | ill check it out | 09:09 |
| CCB0x45 | my fuckin myth tv box works perfectly! finally | 09:09 |
| CCB0x45 | even the channel changing | 09:09 |
| CCB0x45 | man that was a pain the ass | 09:09 |
| CCB0x45 | thats sweet | 09:10 |
| CCB0x45 | the gun is flashing perfect | 09:10 |
| CCB0x45 | my remote works, its perfect 720p, my ir blaster works | 09:10 |
| CCB0x45 | the only thing is the option to schedule a recording is grayed out | 09:10 |
| CCB0x45 | why is that? | 09:10 |
| CCB0x45 | I can pause tv fine | 09:14 |
| CCB0x45 | and do that stuff | 09:14 |
| CCB0x45 | but not schedule | 09:14 |
| CCB0x45 | screw it | 09:18 |
| CCB0x45 | ill deal with it later | 09:18 |
| CCB0x45 | cya later | 09:21 |
| JThundley | see ya | 09:24 |
| JThundley | make sure you have all your schedulesdirect stuff sorted out | 09:24 |
| JThundley | I got hung up on that | 09:24 |
| JThundley | you have to pick a region on their site first | 09:24 |
| JThundley | mythfilldatabase will exit with success if it can't log in also | 09:25 |
| CCB0x45 | the schedules | 09:25 |
| CCB0x45 | are there | 09:25 |
| CCB0x45 | like it has all the right channels | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | and the right info | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | when I try to make it record something | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | all the shit is grayed out for record | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | it wont let me schedule a recording | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | it is getting the right data from schedules direct though | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | transfering 200 gigs to the myth tv box over wifi | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | is not fast | 09:26 |
| CCB0x45 | whatever | 09:29 |
| CCB0x45 | bed | 09:29 |
| CCB0x45 | peace | 09:29 |
| MediaBuilder | hey, how can I add SMB shares from my Windows network to my media library? | 10:00 |
| directhex|work | mythvideo expects to see a single directory tree of media. so mount your smb share inside the tree | 10:01 |
| MediaBuilder | hmmm is there some noobish guide out there for someone who is coming to this after using Xbox Media Center? | 10:03 |
| directhex|work | mount -t smbfs //machine/sharename /path/to/some/empty/folder | 10:04 |
| MediaBuilder | ooooooooooh | 10:04 |
| MediaBuilder | wow, that was oddly easier to understand than the english explaination | 10:05 |
| MediaBuilder | I need to get out more | 10:05 |
| MediaBuilder | thanks | 10:05 |
| directhex|work | /path/to/some/empty/folder should be somewhere within where myth expects to see stuff - or you can change where myth expects to see stuff. one or t'other | 10:05 |
| MediaBuilder | Ok, so I have have all my media on 6 500GB USB drives, is there a good way to link folders in the drives together, and then make that location the place Myth is looking for content? | 10:07 |
| directhex|work | you could mount them all in the same vague place - /mythtv/drive1, /mythtv/drive2, and so on. mythvideo, for preference, uses metadata-based browsing rather than flat file browsing | 10:09 |
| directhex|work | i think myth also supports multiple folders seperated with a : these days, as the path - e.g. /data/foo:/data/bar | 10:10 |
| directhex|work | maybe | 10:10 |
| MediaBuilder | hmm | 10:11 |
| MediaBuilder | that seems to be the best bet | 10:11 |
| MediaBuilder | it'd appear as a list, so I'd do something like /myth/tv:/myth/tv2:/myth/Movies etc | 10:12 |
| MediaBuilder | The media would appear as | 10:12 |
| MediaBuilder | TV | 10:12 |
| MediaBuilder | TV2 | 10:12 |
| MediaBuilder | Movies | 10:12 |
| MediaBuilder | right? | 10:12 |
| directhex|work | not 100% sure, i don't do it that way | 10:14 |
| directhex|work | i just have 1 large partition for everything, which is much simpler | 10:15 |
| MediaBuilder | yeah, I wish I could do that, but the drives move around with me | 10:15 |
| MediaBuilder | I just wish the xbox could handle high def content, XBMC really is a phenomenal project | 10:16 |
| MediaBuilder | hmm now its telling me I can't mount these drives (they were used on Windows) | 10:41 |
| directhex|work | anything specific? | 10:50 |
| MediaBuilder | It says cannoth mount volume TVOtoZ | 10:54 |
| MediaBuilder | when I plug in the USB drive | 10:54 |
| MediaBuilder | Its been formatted and used on windows | 10:55 |
| directhex|work | ntfs? | 10:56 |
| MediaBuilder | yeah | 10:56 |
| directhex|work | make sure you have the "ntfs-3g" package installed, and are a member of he "fuse" group | 10:56 |
| MediaBuilder | I'm sorry, the "fuse" group? | 10:57 |
| directhex|work | the "fuse" group. | 10:59 |
| directhex|work | as in "if i type 'groups' in a terminal, does it list 'fuse'?" | 10:59 |
| MediaBuilder | ok, yeah it does list fuse | 11:01 |
| directhex|work | hm. and if you try to mount from a console - mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/foo | 11:02 |
| directhex|work | guessing at both the mountpoint and drive at this point | 11:02 |
| MediaBuilder | yeah, I'm trying to find the installer right now | 11:02 |
| MediaBuilder | like in ubuntu | 11:03 |
| MediaBuilder | ok, there it is | 11:04 |
| MediaBuilder | yeah ntfs-3g was not installed | 11:04 |
| MediaBuilder | installing now | 11:04 |
| MediaBuilder | Well, I give up, I can't mount these volumes, Looks like its vista for me, good luck with the project folks, I'll be watching closely, hope it gets more noob friendly | 11:20 |
| Daviey | morning superm1 & jono | 13:15 |
| directhex|work | no good morning for me? :( | 13:18 |

| directhex|work | hey, no fair, i submitted it to slashdot & it was rejected :( | 14:04 |
| Daviey | directhex|work: know why? | 14:12 |
| directhex|work | Daviey, no | 14:13 |
| directhex|work | it was critical of ubuntu? that's never appreciated! | 14:13 |
| Daviey | directhex|work: linky? | 14:13 |
| pdragon | i tried posting the mythbuntu release up there. didn't get enough votes in the firehose tho | 14:14 |
| Daviey | pdragon: you should have mentioned it to us! | 14:14 |
| pdragon | i did! | 14:14 |
| Daviey | pdragon: i missed that :( | 14:14 |
| directhex|work | http://slashdot.org/~hexxeh/firehose/ | 14:15 |
| pdragon | next release, maybe see about putting one of the firehose voting things on the mytbuntu website? | 14:15 |
| pdragon | didn't see them until afterwards | 14:15 |

| KingArthur10 | hello all: I have a quick question. I had an old laptop lying about and I decided it might be nice to just hook it to my TV via VGA and set up a myth-tv system. The only issue I have is that I don't have a remote for it. So, I want to try my wiimote instead as the remote. Does anyone know of an automatic startup script that will run at startup and wait for wiimote connections? | 17:28 |

| DucoNihilum | Hey | 19:47 |
| DucoNihilum | Anyone here? | 19:48 |
| DucoNihilum | I'm trying to set up myth web | 19:48 |
| DucoNihilum | and dont know how to get started | 19:48 |
| DucoNihilum | Hey- anyone here? | 19:58 |
| directhex | aptitude install mythweb | 20:09 |
| directhex | that should be it | 20:09 |
| DucoNihilum | What? | 20:10 |
| superm1_ | yuck | 20:10 |
| superm1_ | aptitude | 20:10 |
| DucoNihilum | What's that? | 20:10 |
| directhex | one of the dpkg front-ends in ubuntu | 20:11 |
| DucoNihilum | Could you walk me though the install- I'm not very learned in linux. | 20:11 |
| directhex | i need to cook. superm1_ can help | 20:11 |
| JThundley | run aptitude install mythweb as root | 20:12 |
| superm1_ | DucoNihilum, from mythbuntu control centre | 20:12 |
| superm1_ | click mythweb | 20:12 |
| superm1_ | and hit apply | 20:12 |
| DucoNihilum | alright | 20:13 |
| DucoNihilum | its installing | 20:13 |
| DucoNihilum | now what? | 20:13 |
| superm1_ | use it | 20:13 |
| DucoNihilum | how can I see if it's working? | 20:13 |
| superm1_ | once its installed http://localhost/mythweb | 20:13 |
| superm1_ | and you'll see it | 20:13 |
| DucoNihilum | What's the default password / username? | 20:13 |
| superm1_ | there is none | 20:13 |
| DucoNihilum | It's asking for authentication | 20:14 |
| superm1_ | you must have set one | 20:14 |
| DucoNihilum | I just did what you said. | 20:14 |
| superm1_ | its a choice during installation | 20:14 |
| superm1_ | well then dpkg-reconfigure mythweb | 20:14 |
| superm1_ | er | 20:14 |
| superm1_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythweb | 20:14 |
| DucoNihilum | alright | 20:15 |
| DucoNihilum | now I don't have a static IP address..... | 20:15 |
| DucoNihilum | Is there anything like no-ip.org for linux? | 20:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | is there an easy way to transcode a recording to divx or xvid once its done recording? | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | you mean a daemon to update your no-ip.org address? | 20:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | and place it in another drive? | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | there are ways to automatically update it | 20:16 |
| DucoNihilum | I've done no-ip.org with windows | 20:16 |
| DucoNihilum | but never linux | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest99, there are jobs | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | DucoNihilum, well google for it | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | i'm sure there are daemons that do it | 20:16 |
| superm1_ | my routers have always supported it natively | 20:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | is there a how-to I can read for these jobs? | 20:17 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest99, i dont have anything to refer you to off hand | 20:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | ok | 20:17 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest99, but look over the upstream mythtv.org wiki | 20:17 |
| superm1_ | i'm sure there is something there | 20:18 |
| directhex | ipcheck - Dyndns.org client to register your dynamic IP address | 20:18 |
| directhex | ez-ipupdate - client for most dynamic DNS services | 20:18 |
| directhex | ddclient - Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.com | 20:18 |
| directhex | no-ip - A second-generation Linux client for dynamic DNS service | 20:18 |
| directhex | inadyn - client to alleviate the requirements for an Internet name | 20:18 |
| directhex | those are the obvious ones packages in ubuntu. there are probably more | 20:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | does Nuvexport sound familiar? | 20:19 |
| DucoNihilum | I have another question. | 20:20 |
| DucoNihilum | I'd like to make all of my recordings smaller by transcoding them, but I don't always have the option for MPEG 4 or what I want, xvid. | 20:20 |
| directhex | xvid *is* mpeg4 | 20:21 |
| DucoNihilum | oh, right. | 20:22 |
| DucoNihilum | anyways.... | 20:22 |
| directhex | mpeg4 part 2 is a video codec standard, xvid is an implementation | 20:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | DucoNihilum: im looking at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Daily_Use#Exporting_Recordings | 20:22 |
| DucoNihilum | Under transcoders I see MPEG-2 encoders | 20:22 |
| DucoNihilum | with my PVR | 20:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest99 | is that similar to what you want? | 20:22 |
| DucoNihilum | See I can make my own transcoder group and select mpeg 4 | 20:23 |
| DucoNihilum | but I can't' figure out how to implement it | 20:23 |
| DucoNihilum | I want it to automatically transcode them | 20:24 |
| DucoNihilum | to save space | 20:24 |
| directhex | what do you mean by "under transcoders"? | 20:25 |
| directhex | you mean tv card type? | 20:25 |
| DucoNihilum | If I go to setup > setup TV settings recording profiles | 20:26 |
| DucoNihilum | I see MPEG-2 encoders | 20:26 |
| DucoNihilum | Testing-transcode (i made that group) | 20:26 |
| DucoNihilum | and transcoders | 20:26 |
| DucoNihilum | If I go into "transcoders" | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | and pick high quality for example | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | it doesn't have an option for automatically transcoding | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | the other do | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | others* | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | That's also the only place I can find the MPEG- codec | 20:27 |
| DucoNihilum | I cant figure out how to transcode with this one after the fact either. | 20:28 |
| DucoNihilum | Gone? | 20:39 |
| DucoNihilum | Can you help me? | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 20:58 |
| Tatster | Hi all. I stumbled across mythbuntu last night!!! I've got a machine I'm preparing to use as a frontend. It's currently got Ubuntu 7.10 on it - is there an easy way to turn it into mythbuntu ? | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | $guide | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | arg | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stupid mythbot | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !mythtv | 20:59 |
| ubotu | MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV | 20:59 |
| Tatster | I understand that I can just install MythTV on Ubuntu, but that wouldn't give the control centre bits would it ? | 21:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes, follow the guide. It was developed with turning ubuntu into mythbuntu | 21:02 |
| superm1_ | tgm4883_laptop, did you see that forum posting on firewire? | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | link? | 21:07 |
| superm1_ | i dont have it offhand | 21:07 |
| superm1_ | it was posted yesterday or today | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'll search | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | bleh | 21:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that doesn't look friendly | 21:11 |
| superm1_ | i kinda like the fact that i dont know anything on firewire these days :) | 21:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'll subscribe to it. Hopefully when he tests it tonight it either works or I come up with something else | 21:16 |
| superm1_ | hopefully | 21:17 |
| DucoNihilum | aNYONE HERE? | 21:22 |
| DucoNihilum | Sorry caps | 21:22 |
| CCB0x45 | hey | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | has anyone gotten mythstreamtv to work | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | with 7.10? | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | and also for some reason when I goto the schedule manager | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | and click on a program to schedule | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | the scheduling options are grayed out | 21:39 |
| CCB0x45 | it wont let me schedule anything | 21:39 |
| DucoNihilum | hey | 21:52 |
| CCB0x45 | hey | 21:56 |
| stefancrs | hi, I just tried the mythbuntu install (after failing knoppmyth), and it stops at "reloading /etc/samba.smb.conf...". observe that I have no linux experience. | 22:09 |
| stefancrs | as in, I can't get the live cd to work | 22:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stefancrs, so the live cd wont even boot | 22:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ? | 22:18 |
| stefancrs | oh, it boots, but it won't start up mythbuntu | 22:19 |
| stefancrs | now it stopped after the "Running local boot scripts" line | 22:19 |
| stefancrs | hold, will try safe graphics mode | 22:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you md5sum the iso and verify the cd? | 22:20 |
| stefancrs | I've tried the verify in the menu at least | 22:21 |
| stefancrs | that said the cd was ok | 22:21 |
| stefancrs | can't check the md5 now | 22:21 |
| stefancrs | uhm, for a while there was a screen with a mouse pointer | 22:22 |
| stefancrs | but it dissappeared :) | 22:22 |
| stefancrs | ah, there we go | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | a desktop | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | I would like to see if my network works, how would I go about to do that? | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | pff | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | I ask too early | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | I'll click around a bit :) | 22:23 |
| stefancrs | sweet, firefox can connect | 22:24 |
| stefancrs | in knoppmyth, my nic wasn't supported | 22:25 |
| stefancrs | hm, it seemed the partion formatting only got to 5%.... | 22:32 |
| stefancrs | ah no | 22:33 |
| stefancrs | the 5% was the overall indicator | 22:33 |
| stefancrs | things started moving again | 22:33 |
| stefancrs | stupid indicator :) | 22:33 |
| stefancrs | hm, it would seem I can't choose the resolution I want | 22:52 |
| stefancrs | it seems to be running in 640x480 | 22:52 |
| stefancrs | and i can't pick a higher one | 22:52 |
| stefancrs | fixed it. time to move this box out in the living room and go on from there. cheers | 22:55 |
| CCB0x45 | anyone gotten mythstreamtv to work with the new stuff? | 23:09 |
| DucoNihilum | Hey | 23:10 |
| DucoNihilum | Anyone here that can help me? | 23:10 |
| CCB0x45 | with what | 23:10 |
| DucoNihilum | Trying to set up the no-ip.org thing | 23:10 |
| DucoNihilum | for mythweb | 23:10 |
| CCB0x45 | is that like dyn-dns? | 23:11 |
| DucoNihilum | yeah sort of | 23:11 |
| CCB0x45 | looks like the same thing to me | 23:11 |
| CCB0x45 | I just set it through my router | 23:11 |
| CCB0x45 | the netgear ones have a built in thing for dyn-dns | 23:12 |
| CCB0x45 | whats your problem? | 23:12 |
| DucoNihilum | Well its not working | 23:12 |
| DucoNihilum | maybe its because of the router | 23:12 |
| DucoNihilum | should I forward anything? | 23:12 |
| CCB0x45 | well is the router blocking | 23:13 |
| CCB0x45 | the ports you need? | 23:13 |
| CCB0x45 | if you havnt forwarded anything then most likely | 23:13 |
| Nixus_Maximus | @CCB... Yes, works for me in 0.20.2, though it was pretty tough work. | 23:13 |
| CCB0x45 | Nixus, you remember at all | 23:14 |
| CCB0x45 | how you got it to work? | 23:14 |
| CCB0x45 | im using 20.2 also | 23:14 |
| Nixus_Maximus | take a look at my post in the mythtv-forum http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3019&highlight=nixus | 23:14 |
| CCB0x45 | ah thanks man | 23:15 |
| Nixus_Maximus | it's a while ago, but I didn't change anything an it still works though I updates mythtv | 23:15 |
| DucoNihilum | ok i have another problem | 23:15 |
| DucoNihilum | transcoding | 23:15 |
| Nixus_Maximus | updated | 23:15 |
| CCB0x45 | thats a good start | 23:15 |
| Nixus_Maximus | terrible typos ;-) | 23:15 |
| DucoNihilum | I'd like to be able to automatically transcode anything recorded | 23:15 |
| DucoNihilum | into MPEG4 | 23:15 |
| DucoNihilum | but i cant figure out how to set that up | 23:16 |
| CCB0x45 | Nixus, do you also while I have you, have any idea why when I goto schedule recordings and click on a show, scheduling options would be grayed out | 23:16 |
| CCB0x45 | Duco, whats the problem? | 23:16 |
| CCB0x45 | have you looked at the transcoding set up preferences | 23:16 |
| CCB0x45 | in the backend and front end setups? | 23:16 |
| DucoNihilum | Yes, I see a few.... one that says "Transcoders" | 23:16 |
| Nixus_Maximus | hm, no. in mythweb? | 23:16 |
| DucoNihilum | and one like that but it has the name of my card | 23:16 |
| DucoNihilum | Hap | 23:16 |
| CCB0x45 | Nixus, its not grayed out in mythweb | 23:17 |
| CCB0x45 | just in mythtv | 23:17 |
| CCB0x45 | well the transcoding you want to do | 23:17 |
| CCB0x45 | is in software | 23:17 |
| DucoNihilum | ok so i set up one under 'transcoders' | 23:17 |
| DucoNihilum | but i dont know how to acatually make it transcode | 23:17 |
| CCB0x45 | I havnt set up any automatic transcoders yet | 23:18 |
| === bq__ is now known as toorima | ||
| CCB0x45 | Nixus, it seems to let me record through mythweb | 23:18 |
| Nixus_Maximus | btw. to my forum-post: I now think that's only necessary to compile vlc in the way described (maybe mpeg2dec), but not ffmpeg any more. at least if you use ffmpeg from the medibuntu-repository | 23:19 |
| Nixus_Maximus | that sounds strange | 23:19 |
| CCB0x45 | so you do need to recompile vlc | 23:20 |
| CCB0x45 | do get mythstreamtv working | 23:20 |
| Nixus_Maximus | yes. that definitely | 23:20 |
| CCB0x45 | what about torrentocracy | 23:21 |
| Nixus_Maximus | I think some necessary options are not compiled in - though I did not find out which, the mythstreamtv-scripts are rather complicated... | 23:21 |
| Nixus_Maximus | dunno, I did not try it so far. though I did not read any successful experience with it lately... | 23:22 |
| CCB0x45 | guess ill crank away at mythstream later | 23:23 |
| CCB0x45 | mythstream and torrentocracy are the 2 nicest plugins | 23:23 |
| CCB0x45 | I dunno why nobody uses them with mythbuntu | 23:23 |
| Nixus_Maximus | maybe this problem will be gone when they implement flash in mythtv 0.21 | 23:23 |
| CCB0x45 | its going to stream to flash? | 23:24 |
| Nixus_Maximus | yes | 23:24 |
| CCB0x45 | that would be sick | 23:24 |
| CCB0x45 | theres no way to get that working with 20.2? | 23:24 |
| CCB0x45 | oh there is | 23:25 |
| Nixus_Maximus | not with mythweb. I don't know how the implement it, it just says "Added FLV playback support for MythWeb" | 23:25 |
| CCB0x45 | this wiki says you can | 23:25 |
| CCB0x45 | oh wait | 23:26 |
| CCB0x45 | that is only streaming recordings | 23:26 |
| Nixus_Maximus | i think this is just a user job ? | 23:26 |
| CCB0x45 | not live tv I guess | 23:26 |
| Nixus_Maximus | maybe. probably takes to much time to encode | 23:26 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 23:27 |
| CCB0x45 | streaming recordings isnt bad though | 23:27 |
| CCB0x45 | shouldnt take THAT long to encode | 23:27 |
| CCB0x45 | right | 23:27 |
| CCB0x45 | like maybe a couple minute delay | 23:27 |
| CCB0x45 | I mean ive got a dual core amd in there | 23:28 |
| Nixus_Maximus | ok, that should do it | 23:28 |
| Nixus_Maximus | ;-) | 23:28 |
| CCB0x45 | looks like mythstreamtv is the best option for now | 23:30 |
| CCB0x45 | when is .21 supposed to come out? | 23:30 |
| Nixus_Maximus | I don't know. they do not publish any schedule and it took one year to go from 0.20 to 0.20.2 :-( | 23:31 |
| Nixus_Maximus | maybe it's already in the SVN-Version, but I do not want to break my system | 23:32 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 23:34 |
| CCB0x45 | ill probably fuck around with mythstreamtv | 23:34 |
| CCB0x45 | try to get that working | 23:34 |
| CCB0x45 | then also try to get the flash working | 23:34 |
| CCB0x45 | for recordings | 23:34 |
| Nixus_Maximus | that's a nice occupation for the weekend | 23:35 |
| CCB0x45 | haha | 23:37 |
| CCB0x45 | code during the week days and hack together shit on the weekends | 23:37 |
| CCB0x45 | sweet life | 23:37 |
| DucoNihilum | Mixus | 23:37 |
| DucoNihilum | Do you know how to set up the transcoding? | 23:37 |
| Pogonip | Need help setting up lircd.conf to control Dish Network PVR 508? | 23:38 |
| Nixus_Maximus | gotta fo or a moment, trying to solve vom compiz and tv-out issues... | 23:38 |
| CCB0x45 | I just got my dish network controlled | 23:40 |
| CCB0x45 | but I was using a PVR 150 | 23:40 |
| Pogonip | That's as good a start as any. How did you find the codes? | 23:40 |
| CCB0x45 | this big long set of codes | 23:42 |
| CCB0x45 | from here... one sec | 23:42 |
| Pogonip | I can use irsend to send codes to the IR Emitter, but I need to find a code set that works. | 23:42 |
| Pogonip | I think I have the set, it has dish1 to dish16 codes? | 23:43 |
| CCB0x45 | no... | 23:44 |
| Pogonip | hmm..maybe you have something I don't. | 23:44 |
| DucoNihilum | Does anyone know anything about transcoding? | 23:45 |
| CCB0x45 | http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/lmilk/lircd.conf | 23:45 |
| CCB0x45 | that conf has like every code in it | 23:45 |
| CCB0x45 | http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/lmilk/IRcodesets.html | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | and that shows how they are related | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | I have a dish 811 | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | but it didnt use the dish 811 listed codeset there | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | which was 130 | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | it actually used the dishnet codeset | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | which was 888888888888888888 | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | fucking vlc | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | I mean 88 | 23:46 |
| CCB0x45 | works like a charm now | 23:47 |
| CCB0x45 | but like I said that was for the IR 150 blaster | 23:47 |
| Pogonip | I have that one too, but I couldn't get the send_power_on shell to work. | 23:47 |
| CCB0x45 | what do you mean couldnt get it to work? | 23:47 |
| Pogonip | send_power_on would only send the first few codes and then it would stall. | 23:47 |
| Pogonip | I never saw the IR Emitter blick, | 23:48 |
| Pogonip | If I copy the irsend code out of send_power_on and run it in a term, the IR emitter blinks, but not when I run it in the shell | 23:49 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: torrentocracy... are you joking?! | 23:49 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: Have you tried it recently? | 23:49 |
| CCB0x45 | Daviey, no why | 23:50 |
| CCB0x45 | whats wrong with it? | 23:50 |
| CCB0x45 | Pogonip, yea I didnt use the script | 23:50 |
| Daviey | "The torrentocracy project is no longer active." | 23:50 |
| Daviey | Hasn't worked since Myth 0.19 IIRC | 23:50 |
| CCB0x45 | the script is pretty simple just runs one | 23:50 |
| Daviey | and even then it was still beta | 23:50 |
| CCB0x45 | Daviey, well its the only torrent plugin isnt it? | 23:51 |
| Daviey | No. | 23:51 |
| Pogonip | Ok, I'll keep trying. | 23:51 |
| Daviey | There are no torrent pluggins | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | oh is there a newer one? | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | Pogonip, I didnt use the script | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | I just did the commands for the different dish boxes | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | till they worked | 23:51 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: your best bet is torrentflux.. web based torrent client | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | manually like you are | 23:51 |
| CCB0x45 | Daviey, ill try that | 23:52 |
| CCB0x45 | is there any new torrent plugins that actually work with the front end though? | 23:52 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: tis quite nice | 23:52 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: no.. and there won't be | 23:52 |
| CCB0x45 | what do you do have torrentflux download stuff to the videos directory and it will just get imported? | 23:52 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: Upstream Mythtv do not want to be associated with torrenting on myth | 23:53 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: yes | 23:53 |
| CCB0x45 | yea thats really dumb, I hate how torrenting is treated like a crime now | 23:53 |
| CCB0x45 | its not an illegal protocal | 23:53 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: just set the download location to be where videos are stored | 23:53 |
| CCB0x45 | guess ill just do that | 23:53 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: no.. but there are few legal torrents relevant to mythtv | 23:53 |
| CCB0x45 | I just thought it would be nice to be able to see their progress with the remote | 23:53 |
| CCB0x45 | plenty of cspan and other public domain | 23:54 |
| Daviey | sure would.. but out of our hands | 23:54 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: And they are relevant to myth? | 23:54 |
| CCB0x45 | well if you wanna play them through myth | 23:54 |
| CCB0x45 | and see how far they are coming along | 23:54 |
| Daviey | CCB0x45: but anyway.. we both know that the 99% of users would use it for illegal content | 23:54 |
| CCB0x45 | but whatever, torrentflux does look nice I had seen that before | 23:55 |
| CCB0x45 | I just figured torrentocracy would still work | 23:55 |
| CCB0x45 | haha yea | 23:55 |
| Daviey | nope.. the author gave up when the Mythtv project refused to accept it | 23:55 |
| CCB0x45 | is there any other streaming methods of live tv besides mythstreamtv that I dont know about | 23:55 |
| Daviey | don't think so | 23:55 |
| CCB0x45 | do thy refuse to accept that too? | 23:56 |
| CCB0x45 | that seems like a feature everyone would like | 23:56 |
| CCB0x45 | considering people pay $200 for a POS slingbox to do it | 23:56 |
