| szakulec | hi- my tv capture card has s-video and coaxial, but my only option for audio is the coaxial- can I use S-video for video and coax for the audio? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Dr_willis_ | Cant use the PC's sound card for Audio In? | 00:14 |
| szakulec | hadn't thought of it | 00:14 |
| szakulec | there doesn't seem to be a way to get the audio from the settop box to the computer without using coax | 00:17 |
| sung | so | 00:41 |
| sung | any of you know how to debug xvmc? | 00:41 |
| dmandell | Is there documentation on how to upgrade a Feisty myth frontend/backend to Mythbuntu? | 01:01 |
| sung | if it's not broken, don't break it! | 01:01 |
| dmandell | Well, I'm at least going to upgrade to Gutsy, I'd like to be able to upgrade my mythbox as updates are released so that it doesn't become a pain somewhere way down the road. | 01:02 |
| dwf_starband | do you know how to adjust the memmory settings in php so that mythweb will work properly? | 01:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | Anyone know how to get Mythbuntu working with avi files? | 01:05 |
| dwf_starband | you want to play avi files? | 01:06 |
| dwf_starband | you can do that through the mythvideo plugin | 01:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | not installed by default? | 01:09 |
| dwf_starband | i dont remember, just open your mythbuntu control centre and go to the applications and plugins tab and select the plugins you want to install and then apply | 01:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | they are all enabled... | 01:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | wounder if its a video driver problem | 01:10 |
| dwf_starband | ok have you set up the folder where your videos are stored? | 01:11 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | yea | 01:11 |
| dwf_starband | then went to Media Library then Watch Videos on the frontend? | 01:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | yeah...trys to open then closes imediatly | 01:12 |
| dwf_starband | can you play them in mplayer? | 01:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | no | 01:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | or xine | 01:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | the only file it plays is ISO | 01:13 |
| dwf_starband | then you probably dont have the codecs downloaded or something | 01:13 |
| dwf_starband | have you selected all the codecs in the mythbuntu control centre? | 01:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | nope...just did though | 01:15 |
| dwf_starband | im just learning myself, but it is my understanding that myth uses mplayer as the default player with the mythvideo plugin | 01:17 |
| dwf_starband | so if it doesnt play in mplayer, it wont play wth mythvideo | 01:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest34 | well its taking its time to update packages.... | 01:18 |
| solarbaby | I have 5 full beans on the ubuntuforum now.. Im becoming a God | 02:00 |
| dwf_starband | WOW! I was impressed by the bean titles everyone had on there untill I read that they are randomly generated and have nothing to do with the nuber of beans anyone has | 02:01 |
| solarbaby | My beans are refried | 02:04 |
| dwf_starband | mmmmmm... just add cheese | 02:05 |
| solarbaby | Haggas Beans and Rice | 02:06 |
| solarbaby | W All American Cheese, sure ya why not | 02:06 |
| dwf_starband | i like the 3 cheese blend from costco, the cheapest cheese per pound and its already grated! what more could a man ask for? | 02:07 |
| solarbaby | where are you from? | 02:08 |
| dwf_starband | alaska | 02:08 |
| solarbaby | Im practicly in Las Vegas, Nevada | 02:08 |
| dwf_starband | i havent been to town since january, so i buy ALOT of cheese when im at costco | 02:09 |
| solarbaby | so your living out in the middle of nowhere eh? same here | 02:09 |
| dwf_starband | 150 miles by plane, there are no roads to get here | 02:09 |
| solarbaby | Las Vegas is the closest big city to me, and thats 80 miles away | 02:09 |
| solarbaby | my house is completely electric.. we have a water pump that taps into the natural water underground | 02:10 |
| solarbaby | and a ceptic tank | 02:10 |
| solarbaby | internet is Satalite, and we also get Dish Network | 02:11 |
| dwf_starband | sounds like me | 02:11 |
| dwf_starband | where do you get your power? | 02:11 |
| dwf_starband | I heat with fuel oil though | 02:11 |
| solarbaby | theres an electric company close by.. our town is big enough to have a phone company and electric.. and 2 whore houses | 02:11 |
| solarbaby | the phone company wont support dsl though.. that really pisses me off | 02:12 |
| dwf_starband | our village has an electric co-op that runs generators big enough for everyone | 02:12 |
| solarbaby | right on | 02:13 |
| solarbaby | some people like Alaska.. I still haven't figured out the attraction but its enough to keep people living there by choice | 02:13 |
| dwf_starband | the phone company has a houge dish here and underground wires through the village | 02:13 |
| dwf_starband | what is the temp there right now? | 02:14 |
| solarbaby | its evening now.. I'd say 65 | 02:14 |
| dwf_starband | thats why people live here | 02:14 |
| dwf_starband | thats a good summer temp | 02:14 |
| solarbaby | this afternoone could have been in the low 80's | 02:14 |
| dwf_starband | you cant realy work comfortably it its over 80 | 02:15 |
| solarbaby | Am I nuts or does Alaska have unusually long days? | 02:15 |
| dwf_starband | where i am the days are about 23 hours long in the summer and 5 in the winter | 02:16 |
| solarbaby | thats what I thought.. man I could totally get used to that ;) | 02:16 |
| dwf_starband | what company do you get your satalite internet from? | 02:16 |
| solarbaby | Wild Blue | 02:16 |
| dwf_starband | the cool thing in the summer, is the days are long but since its never dark, you dont get tired, you can live on 5 hours of sleep a night for 3 months | 02:17 |
| solarbaby | hehe | 02:17 |
| dwf_starband | ive got starband, but an older model modem and its pretty flakey | 02:17 |
| solarbaby | When its dark here, the Stars can sometimes look amazing.. but I dont really like nighttime in the desert cause of all the snakes and scorpians and other creepy stuff | 02:18 |
| dwf_starband | do you know anything about mythweb giving an error when searching for shows, about excedig the memory limits? | 02:18 |
| dwf_starband | the northern lights are pretty cool here sometimes | 02:18 |
| solarbaby | Yeah.. if you leave your search query blank then it overwelms it | 02:18 |
| dwf_starband | but what about for their preselected searches, like "movies" | 02:19 |
| solarbaby | that seems to work fine for me.. I get 7 days of EPG data.. if you have more then that, you might run into problems I never see | 02:19 |
| dwf_starband | i dont think i ever set any setings, but it seems like about 2 weeks from scheduals direct, what is epg? | 02:20 |
| solarbaby | EPG is that TV programming information you download from Schedules Direct | 02:21 |
| dwf_starband | oh, ok | 02:21 |
| solarbaby | Episode Program Guide I think is what it stands for | 02:21 |
| dwf_starband | you into the solar scene? is that what your name is about | 02:21 |
| dwf_starband | ? | 02:21 |
| solarbaby | not so much as you would think.. there was a movie I saw when I was a little boy.. a really badly rated movie at that.. called Solarbabys.. I really liked it | 02:22 |
| dwf_starband | oh, ok | 02:22 |
| solarbaby | not a bad nickname either.. I've come across a few of them on the internet but its not over used | 02:23 |
| dwf_starband | yeah | 02:23 |
| TheQuank | Hi, anyone else had their computer radomly freexe and the caps and scroll lock lights on the key board start blinking? | 02:24 |
| solarbaby | that happend to me in windows | 02:26 |
| TheQuank | strange huh? This thing doesn't seem to be under a huge load either... | 02:27 |
| solarbaby | you might have some hardware going bad.. ram doesn't last forever | 02:28 |
| dwf_starband | I have an external drive that seems to be kind of flakey, sometimes when using it the computer will freeze, but I dont remember any flashing lights | 02:28 |
| solarbaby | flashing lights might be an error code you could look up | 02:28 |
| dwf_starband | i use a wireless keyboard though so i wouldnt (there arent lights except a low battery) | 02:28 |
| TheQuank | googling now, but all this gear is only a couple years old... | 02:29 |
| solarbaby | Your motherboard might have certain error codes that it will use in cobination with blinky lights and beep codes | 02:30 |
| solarbaby | bad ram would certainly be something it would want to convey to you | 02:31 |
| TheQuank | hummm, apears I am not the only one: Bug #130247 | 02:31 |
| solarbaby | the reason I mention bad ram so often is because ram is cheap and easy to test | 02:31 |
| TheQuank | yes....and at that I only have 512 in this box. | 02:32 |
| TheQuank | only have one tuner for now though... | 02:32 |
| solarbaby | you could easily have a bad hard drive cable too.. it could be many inexpensive possibilities | 02:32 |
| TheQuank | Are all the Transcoding defaults supposed to be set to RTjepg? | 02:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | does mythbuntu supports capturing hd video from a hd video camera? | 04:24 |
| foxbuntu | MythbuntuGuest32 you could prob make it work over a connection like the std inputs or via Firewire...however directly no.. | 04:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | i do have firewire but does has software to capture hd video | 04:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | ? | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | what do you mean? MythTV can do HDTV | 04:27 |
| troy_s | hd from dv is fine as long as you dont get into dvc50 or dvcpro100 | 04:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | like in windows i use sony vegas or adobe software to capture hd video? is there similiar software in mythbuntu? | 04:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | or in linux general | 04:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | ? | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | MythTV handles all of that | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | it does not do editing and its not a capture suite like those softwares however | 04:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | oh i see | 04:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | thank you very much for help then | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | np | 04:32 |
| CCB0x45 | hey | 04:44 |
| CCB0x45 | im trying to build vlc | 04:44 |
| CCB0x45 | and when I configure I get error: C compiler cant creat executables | 04:44 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, why are you building it from source? | 04:44 |
| CCB0x45 | I wanna add the streaming options so I can try to get mythstreamtv to work | 04:45 |
| CCB0x45 | I really wanna stream live tv | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, are you working from trunk? | 04:45 |
| CCB0x45 | just off vlcs site | 04:46 |
| CCB0x45 | the latest source | 04:46 |
| CCB0x45 | it says it after checking for C compiler default output file name | 04:46 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, I think the the TV streaming in Myth only works in Trunk | 04:46 |
| CCB0x45 | well im not using built in streaming | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | im using myth stream tv | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | its a module | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | I just need to compile vlc with streaming enabled | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | it uses vlcs streaming | 04:47 |
| CCB0x45 | I have the options to configure vlc | 04:49 |
| CCB0x45 | but when I configure it says that | 04:49 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, you can try this, however we don't provide much support for Trunk or Plugins not provided via Mythbuntu | 04:49 |
| foxbuntu | http://www.shantanu.biz/html/mythtv/mythstreamtv.html | 04:49 |
| CCB0x45 | im not using trunk man | 04:50 |
| CCB0x45 | and that site just says configure vlc | 04:50 |
| CCB0x45 | I know the configure options | 04:50 |
| CCB0x45 | its failing because it says C compiler cant create executables | 04:50 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, Streaming via Mythweb is part of 0.21-trunk | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | omg | 04:51 |
| foxbuntu | do a pastebin and I will look at the error | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | im using mythstreamtv | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | its a plugin for mythtv and myth web | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | not the trunk | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | mythstreamtv is an older plugin designed for .19 | 04:51 |
| foxbuntu | !pastebin | CCB0x45 | 04:51 |
| ubotu | CCB0x45: 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) | 04:51 |
| CCB0x45 | I am trying to hack it together so I can post how for other people | 04:52 |
| CCB0x45 | please dont tell me what pastebin is lol, I pasted you the error but I can give you more | 04:52 |
| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, I was giving you the link | 04:53 |

| foxbuntu | CCB0x45, please post your config.log as well | 04:53 |
| CCB0x45 | its huge and the bottom just says config error: 77 | 04:54 |
| CCB0x45 | but I can paste it if youd like | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. Testing out the 'archive recordings' feature. Using the keyboard. I can arrow around and select a few recordings.. but cant seem get to the 'OK' Button. I hit escape and it goes up one menu.. Am i missong somthing here. or is the UI just a little confusing? | 04:54 |
| superm1 | build-essential | 04:54 |
| superm1 | install it | 04:54 |
| CCB0x45 | http://pastebin.com/m5fa66906 | 04:55 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, you sure the VLC with ubuntu doesn't have streaming support? | 04:55 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, i dont see why it would have been disabled if it is | 04:55 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1, ah build-essential | 04:55 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, a bug should probably be filed about that if its not already | 04:55 |
| CCB0x45 | thanks, I forgot I hadnt installed build-essential | 04:56 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1, I just assumed it wasnt | 04:56 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, why? | 04:56 |
| CCB0x45 | I didnt really know how to test if it was or not | 04:56 |
| CCB0x45 | because all the new wikis on how to get mythstream working said you had to recompile it | 04:56 |
| superm1 | and they referred to ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| CCB0x45 | and Nikas said that he had to recompile it | 04:57 |
| CCB0x45 | but he was running a little older | 04:57 |
| CCB0x45 | no none of them refer to ubuntu at all | 04:57 |
| superm1 | well i wouldn't say thats a safe assumption then :) | 04:57 |
| CCB0x45 | haha | 04:57 |
| superm1 | i know at least personally i try to add as much support to any packages i touch in ubuntu | 04:57 |
| CCB0x45 | oh ok | 04:58 |
| CCB0x45 | well hmm | 04:58 |
| superm1 | i'm touching mplayer 1.0~rc2 right now, and adding at least 6 more build deps to add more support to it particularly | 04:58 |
| superm1 | and there are plenty of people like me, so its very possible vlc has that support | 04:58 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 04:59 |
| CCB0x45 | mythstream is giving me a link | 04:59 |
| CCB0x45 | but vlc wont open it | 04:59 |
| superm1 | well what is the link? | 05:00 |
| CCB0x45 | mms://ccbtop.kicks-ass.org:8001 | 05:01 |
| superm1 | well i'd look at the log that mythstreamtv creates | 05:01 |
| superm1 | when you clikc that link | 05:01 |
| superm1 | see what command it is issuing to try to start a streaming server | 05:01 |
| CCB0x45 | which command mythweb is trying | 05:02 |
| CCB0x45 | or mythstreamtv? | 05:02 |
| CCB0x45 | you mean? | 05:02 |
| CCB0x45 | or what command my mac is trying/ | 05:02 |
| superm1 | what command the backend is issuing | 05:02 |
| superm1 | when you click that link | 05:02 |
| superm1 | that starts some sort of streaming server | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | /usr/bin/vlc -I http --http-host=:8002 --sout-transcode-fps=$FPS --sout-transcode-deinterlace $1 ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=$VCODEC,acodec=$ACODEC,vb=$VB,ab=$AB,scale=$SIZE}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8001} | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | it wrote this too hmm | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | [00000282] main interface: creating httpd | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | [00000288] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot find encoder ((null)) | 05:03 |

| CCB0x45 | [00000301] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (mpga) | 05:03 |
| superm1 | so it didn't choose a good encoder | 05:03 |
| superm1 | choose a different one | 05:03 |
| CCB0x45 | I have no idea where it is picking that | 05:05 |
| CCB0x45 | let me look around | 05:06 |
| CCB0x45 | ah wait | 05:10 |
| CCB0x45 | may have found a fix | 05:10 |
| superm1 | what'd you find? | 05:13 |
| CCB0x45 | damn still didnt work | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | this looks like the section | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | if [ $PROTOCOL = "mms" ]; then | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | /usr/bin/vlc -I http --http-host=:8002 --sout-transcode-fps=$FPS --sout-transcode-deinterlace $1 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=$VCODEC,acodec=$ACODEC,vb=$VB,ab=$AB,scale=$SIZE}:std{access=mmsh,mux=ogg,url=:8001}" | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | elif [ $PROTOCOL = "http" ]; then | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | /usr/bin/vlc -I http --http-host=:8002 --sout-transcode-fps=$FPS --sout-transcode-deinterlace $1 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=$VCODEC,acodec=$ACODEC,vb=$VB,ab=$AB,scale=$SIZE}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:8080}" | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | fi | 05:14 |
| CCB0x45 | ah wait | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 do you know the name of an encoder | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | I should try? | 05:22 |
| superm1 | for vlc? | 05:22 |
| superm1 | no. | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 05:22 |
| superm1 | i have only ever used the gui | 05:22 |
| superm1 | to do it | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | to encode something? | 05:22 |
| superm1 | yeah | 05:22 |
| CCB0x45 | I think ffmpeg | 05:24 |
| CCB0x45 | would be the encoder right | 05:24 |
| superm1 | i'm really not sure what it wants at this point. | 05:24 |
| superm1 | ffmpeg is an encoder | 05:24 |
| superm1 | so is mencoder | 05:24 |
| superm1 | but vlc can do this kind of stuff without them | 05:25 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 05:25 |
| CCB0x45 | aahhh | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | I tried the command | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | it is streaming it in like ascii | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | whoa | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | that is weird | 05:29 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | do you have an mms player? | 05:32 |
| CCB0x45 | that you know will play streams? | 05:32 |
| superm1 | doesn't vlc? | 05:32 |
| superm1 | i'm pretty sure VLC does | 05:33 |
| CCB0x45 | I thought so | 05:33 |
| superm1 | do you have a stream you wanted me to try? | 05:34 |
| superm1 | or something? | 05:34 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 05:34 |
| CCB0x45 | mms://ccbtop.kicks-ass.org:8001 | 05:34 |
| superm1 | connected | 05:36 |
| superm1 | but nothin there | 05:36 |
| CCB0x45 | I need to figure out where these variables are coming from | 05:38 |
| CCB0x45 | hey superm1 | 05:57 |
| superm1 | yeah | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | could you try this command for me if possible? | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | this is what its trying to run | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | youd have to try with your own .mpg file | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | [00000294] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot find encoder ((null)) | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | oops | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | wrong paste | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | ill pastebin it one sec | 05:58 |
| CCB0x45 | http://pastebin.com/m43ed9010 | 05:58 |
| superm1 | i dont have an mpg file with me atm | 05:59 |
| superm1 | i'm not at home... | 05:59 |
| CCB0x45 | ah shit | 05:59 |
| CCB0x45 | ah well | 05:59 |
| superm1 | someone else in here might be able to? | 05:59 |
| CCB0x45 | it would be sweet to get mythstreamtv working | 05:59 |
| CCB0x45 | could add it to mythbuntu | 06:00 |
| CCB0x45 | its a really nice plugin | 06:00 |
| superm1 | yeah it would | 06:00 |
| superm1 | if you do end up to sort it out, i can help you get it into a proper deb | 06:01 |
| superm1 | and push it to hardy and all | 06:01 |
| CCB0x45 | cool | 06:01 |
| CCB0x45 | im trying | 06:01 |
| CCB0x45 | I know thats the command its trying to run | 06:01 |
| CCB0x45 | but I dunno why vlc is saying the encoder is null | 06:02 |
| CCB0x45 | I have tried 3 different encoder values | 06:02 |
| CCB0x45 | http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2007-August/000405.html | 06:05 |
| CCB0x45 | that doesnt look good | 06:05 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, does that have to be a mpg file for that to work? | 06:05 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 no | 06:22 |
| CCB0x45 | I think it can be any file | 06:22 |
| CCB0x45 | vlc would be transcoding it anyways | 06:22 |
| superm1 | well it appears to be missing other options | 06:23 |
| superm1 | i tried it with a xvid file | 06:23 |
| CCB0x45 | I think vlc | 06:23 |
| superm1 | and got the same problem | 06:23 |
| CCB0x45 | needs to be recompiled | 06:23 |
| superm1 | i've done this in the GUI | 06:23 |
| superm1 | with that same file though | 06:23 |
| superm1 | and didn't have any issues | 06:23 |
| CCB0x45 | really | 06:23 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 06:24 |
| superm1 | yeah | 06:24 |
| CCB0x45 | how do you do it with the gui? | 06:24 |
| superm1 | file Wizard | 06:29 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 06:30 |
| CCB0x45 | one sec | 06:30 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 | 06:33 |
| CCB0x45 | ok that works | 06:33 |
| CCB0x45 | so this thing can stream... | 06:34 |
| CCB0x45 | hmm | 06:34 |
| CCB0x45 | its using ASF there | 06:34 |
| superm1 | look at the command line it issued to do it | 06:34 |
| superm1 | because it does show you in the window i believe | 06:34 |
| CCB0x45 | k one sec | 06:35 |
| CCB0x45 | where | 06:35 |
| CCB0x45 | I dont see it? | 06:35 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 is there any way to stream the capture card input through the gui? | 06:35 |
| superm1 | yeah i believe you can do that too | 06:36 |
| superm1 | its a little more complicated | 06:36 |
| superm1 | since you cant use the wizard | 06:36 |
| superm1 | but more or less file->open and choose the V4L tab | 06:36 |
| superm1 | and use the advanced options at the bottom | 06:36 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | the window is too big | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | to see the bottom | 06:37 |
| superm1 | you can move it around by holding alt | 06:37 |
| superm1 | and then clicking on it | 06:37 |
| superm1 | and dragging it | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | ah wow | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | never knew that | 06:37 |
| CCB0x45 | that really helps | 06:38 |
| CCB0x45 | ah this gives you the command | 06:38 |
| CCB0x45 | I think | 06:38 |
| superm1 | or at least the options it was using on the command | 06:39 |
| === nothlit_ is now known as nothlit | ||
| CCB0x45 | you do advanced options | 06:39 |
| CCB0x45 | and stream, right | 06:39 |
| CCB0x45 | settings | 06:39 |
| CCB0x45 | it worked when I loaded an mpg but not from there | 06:40 |
| CCB0x45 | do you use http? | 06:40 |
| superm1 | i did it via a multicast actually | 06:41 |
| CCB0x45 | let me try that | 06:41 |
| superm1 | well | 06:41 |
| superm1 | that isn't good for the purpose you want | 06:41 |
| superm1 | it is really only good on a local network that you can create a multicast address for people to connect to | 06:41 |
| CCB0x45 | ah ok | 06:41 |
| CCB0x45 | so I should use http | 06:41 |
| superm1 | and you'd have to read up a little bit on how multicast works | 06:41 |
| CCB0x45 | maybe its not /dev/video | 06:41 |
| superm1 | to understand it | 06:41 |
| superm1 | no its not | 06:42 |
| superm1 | its like /dev/video0 | 06:43 |
| superm1 | or /dev/video1 | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | it is | 06:43 |
| superm1 | usually | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | its video0 I just checked | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | but is my sound dsp? | 06:43 |
| superm1 | um what kind of card is this? | 06:43 |
| superm1 | a PVR-XXX ? | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | pvr150 | 06:43 |
| CCB0x45 | yea | 06:43 |
| superm1 | then use the PVR tab | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | ah | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | just saw that | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | when you mentiond it | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | holy shit | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | I think its working | 06:44 |
| CCB0x45 | umm | 06:45 |
| CCB0x45 | except its all static | 06:45 |
| CCB0x45 | this is weird | 06:45 |
| CCB0x45 | ok wtf | 06:46 |
| CCB0x45 | myth tv stopped working | 06:46 |
| CCB0x45 | nm its working again | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | vlc had a hold of the video device | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | but why is it static... | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | wtf | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | now I played it again | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | and it works fine | 06:47 |
| CCB0x45 | this is sweet | 06:47 |
| superm1 | okay so if you can figure out how to fix up that command as its issued in mythweb, you'll be set now | 06:48 |
| superm1 | since you can see the "good" one passed in vlc | 06:48 |
| superm1 | now aren't you glad you didnt go and recompile vlc? | 06:48 |
| superm1 | :) | 06:48 |
| CCB0x45 | yea except | 06:50 |
| CCB0x45 | I still think the reason its not working is because vlc needs to be recompiled | 06:50 |
| CCB0x45 | I dont think vlc has either the right version of ffmpeg compiled into it | 06:50 |
| CCB0x45 | so it doesnt have the mpeg encoder | 06:50 |
| CCB0x45 | when its doing this streaming its using a different encoder | 06:50 |
| CCB0x45 | jesus it streams at good quality | 06:51 |
| CCB0x45 | the other thing is | 06:51 |
| CCB0x45 | it doesnt give you the whole command | 06:51 |
| CCB0x45 | just the end options | 06:51 |
| CCB0x45 | ah there is transcoding options | 06:53 |
| CCB0x45 | how can I get that command | 06:53 |
| CCB0x45 | hmmm | 06:53 |
| CCB0x45 | this is sweet | 06:55 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 it only gives like the second half of the command | 06:56 |
| superm1 | well who needs that first half. | 06:57 |
| superm1 | :) | 06:57 |
| CCB0x45 | wait | 06:57 |
| CCB0x45 | I think I figured it out | 06:57 |
| CCB0x45 | well crap | 06:59 |
| CCB0x45 | trying to run what it runs doesnt work | 07:01 |
| CCB0x45 | from what I can tell this is the command it is running when it does that | 07:02 |
| CCB0x45 | vlc pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-radio-device="/dev/radio0" | 07:02 |
| CCB0x45 | :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1 :pvr-bitrate=-1 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=192,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}} | 07:02 |
| CCB0x45 | but when I run it from the command line I get this | 07:02 |
| CCB0x45 | I could make mythstream tv work sweet if I get this to work | 07:02 |
| CCB0x45 | but only for pvrs | 07:02 |
| solarbaby | superm1: Hey, I forgot to ask you for that url again so I could make that comment on the forums for you | 07:03 |
| superm1 | solarbaby, which url? | 07:04 |
| superm1 | solarbaby, the one to the mythbuntu forums? | 07:04 |
| solarbaby | superm1: the patch for 350 | 07:04 |
| superm1 | oh right. | 07:04 |
| superm1 | that's on launchpad | 07:04 |
| solarbaby | superm1: I've tested this thing completely | 07:04 |
| superm1 | and it works right? | 07:04 |
| solarbaby | superm1: couldn't be better | 07:04 |
| superm1 | speaking of which, i need to find out why the archive admins haven't released my update yet to proposed | 07:04 |
| superm1 | solarbaby, once i get it released i'll get you the url to comment on | 07:05 |
| solarbaby | superm1: sure thing, just let me know whenever | 07:05 |
| superm1 | ok will do | 07:05 |
| solarbaby | superm1: I even got this thing to play avi files, but it does a sucky job of it | 07:06 |
| superm1 | solarbaby, well mplayer has some accelerated support for this sort of thing, but i'm not sure if that's in gutsy | 07:06 |
| solarbaby | superm1: so I still need my xbox frontend for that kinda stuff.. but I think thats a limitation of the hardware and nothing else | 07:06 |
| superm1 | i'm working on the new mplayer package for hardy | 07:06 |
| superm1 | but for avi, i'm not all that sure either way | 07:07 |
| solarbaby | superm1: I'll test out what I can | 07:07 |
| solarbaby | superm1: I wouldn't work too hard on getting avi's to work right with the 350.. I have a feeling it just wont work well | 07:07 |
| superm1 | well i'm just saying in the process of merging the new mplayer hardy package | 07:07 |
| superm1 | i saw the added support for ivtv cards | 07:08 |
| superm1 | so it may help | 07:08 |
| superm1 | may not | 07:08 |
| solarbaby | superm1: although I do have an idea.. if your willing.. you could create an option for mythtv to transcode avi to mpg on the fly using ffmpg or something | 07:08 |
| solarbaby | thats how GBPVR makes it possible to play avi's through the Hauppage MVP | 07:09 |
| superm1 | solarbaby, well a method to automate that i'm not sure | 07:10 |
| superm1 | let alone if it would help enough | 07:10 |
| solarbaby | works sweet on GBPVR.. just an idea.. dont know if its worth all the hassle.. although to anyone with hardware limitations they'd be pretty stoked | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1... this is so weird | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | I really think this is the command its running | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | vlc pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-radio-device="/dev/radio0" :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1 :pvr bitrate=-1 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=192,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}} | 07:11 |
| solarbaby | that was the 1 reason I didn't wanna switch to MythTV | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | but | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | when I run that from the command line | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | it starts playing my tv in ascii | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | lol | 07:11 |
| CCB0x45 | which I think is the vlc ascii player I guess | 07:12 |
| CCB0x45 | but when I do it with the gui | 07:12 |
| CCB0x45 | it doesnt play it just creates the stream | 07:12 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, hm | 07:14 |
| superm1 | CCB0x45, you are missing more options | 07:14 |
| superm1 | see the thing is the duplicate bit | 07:15 |
| superm1 | it is showing it on the option listed for duplicate | 07:15 |
| CCB0x45 | whats duplicate? | 07:15 |
| superm1 | as well as whatever frontend it can find (be it ascii or xv etc) | 07:15 |
| CCB0x45 | alright! | 07:20 |
| CCB0x45 | it was the duplicate | 07:20 |
| CCB0x45 | this command works: | 07:20 |
| CCB0x45 | vlc pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-radio-device="/dev/radio0" :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1 :pvr bitrate=-1 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=192,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=1}:std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080} | 07:20 |
| CCB0x45 | but myth stream is such a POS right now | 07:22 |
| CCB0x45 | its gonna take a lot of hacking to make this work right | 07:22 |
| CCB0x45 | but its so awesome | 07:22 |
| CCB0x45 | my thing is a slingbox now | 07:22 |
| CCB0x45 | oh crap | 07:23 |
| CCB0x45 | that command wasnt working | 07:23 |
| superm1 | the reason i never packaged it was because it looked like quite the hack in the first place | 07:24 |
| superm1 | and i didn't know whether it was worthwhile to sort out | 07:24 |
| CCB0x45 | it is a hack | 07:24 |
| CCB0x45 | its basically a small interface | 07:25 |
| CCB0x45 | to run a vlc command | 07:25 |
| CCB0x45 | really funny watching this in ascii over terminal | 07:25 |
| CCB0x45 | im just happy that I can stream it at all right now | 07:26 |
| CCB0x45 | im gonna try to fix it up | 07:33 |
| CCB0x45 | so it if I could get this command right | 07:34 |
| CCB0x45 | I could probably fix it up in a couple hours so it could stream your tv and recordings | 07:34 |
| CCB0x45 | since the command is the hard part for me | 07:38 |
| CCB0x45 | editing the php is easy for me | 07:38 |
| superm1 | well keep track of your changes | 07:40 |
| superm1 | as long as you can have a set of changes against a base package, this can be made into a deb | 07:40 |
| CCB0x45 | ok I will | 07:42 |
| CCB0x45 | it would be a lot of changes to the php stuff | 07:42 |
| CCB0x45 | is there a way to get the clipboard from vnc? | 07:45 |
| CCB0x45 | but it does write channels=1 | 07:45 |
| CCB0x45 | in the settings | 07:45 |
| superm1 | i dont know about the vnc | 07:47 |
| CCB0x45 | its so annoying | 07:47 |
| CCB0x45 | im used to ARD | 07:47 |
| CCB0x45 | where you can get the clipboard and just drag stuff across | 07:47 |
| stuckshut | hey guys, I'm encountering a crash in the mythbuntu installer. at about 83% it fails and says Timezoneapply failed with code 1 | 07:48 |
| stuckshut | anybody else been having that problem? | 07:48 |
| CCB0x45 | try a different time zone | 07:48 |
| stuckshut | I've tried a few now, same problem | 07:49 |
| CCB0x45 | weird | 07:49 |
| superm1 | stuckshut, what other options did you pick? | 07:49 |
| CCB0x45 | superm1 probably knows more | 07:49 |
| stuckshut | are there any particular options that would make a difference? | 07:51 |
| superm1 | stuckshut, well just people have found very odd bugs | 07:51 |
| superm1 | from options that we would have never thought to test | 07:51 |
| superm1 | it can be stuff ranging from languages | 07:51 |
| superm1 | to removing a plugin | 07:51 |
| stuckshut | hrm. well, i've tried both english and no localization for language | 07:52 |
| CCB0x45 | im so stoked that vlc gui streams like that | 07:54 |
| CCB0x45 | this thing is a slingbox nw | 07:54 |
| CCB0x45 | now | 07:54 |
| stuckshut | it's a primary backend + frontend, the plugins i've kept at everything installed so far. i've added the mythtv service, and chosen the appropriate options for a hauppauge 350 and it's associated remote | 07:54 |
| superm1 | hm okay well nothing out of the ordinary there. | 07:58 |
| superm1 | can you pastebin your /var/log/syslog? | 07:58 |
| superm1 | !pastebin | stuckshut | 07:58 |
| ubotu | stuckshut: 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) | 07:58 |
| stuckshut | sure. i'm trying it again with different options so i'll just wait until it crashes again ... | 07:59 |
| tazgodx | if i have an LVM set up, and i just remover one of the LVM drives from the machine, what happens? | 08:15 |
| superm1 | the lvm doesn't owrk | 08:16 |
| superm1 | or work even | 08:16 |
| stuckshut | holy crap, i think it worked | 08:16 |
| stuckshut | i had been setting a root password for mysql during the install process, apparently it didn't like that | 08:17 |
| tazgodx | but will the drives that are still plugged in show up? or will nothign show up? | 08:17 |
| superm1 | stuckshut, hm well that's odd, in my tests root pw for mysql worked out fine | 08:18 |
| superm1 | wonder what sort of corner case you hit | 08:19 |
| stuckshut | no idea, that was the only option i changed this time though. very strange | 08:19 |
| superm1 | can you file a bug with a list of all the options you picked, and we'll try to reproduce it at some point this cycle? | 08:20 |
| superm1 | try to be as specific as you can | 08:20 |
| stuckshut | sure | 08:20 |
| solarbaby | alright so I for the very first time flagged my commercials manually.. that took longer then I thought it would take.. even with a keyboard instead of using the remote control | 08:31 |
| solarbaby | im starting to think that even though this is supposed to be a convenience its probably the long way | 08:32 |
| solarbaby | although I kind of got a kick out of doing it on the TV | 08:33 |
| solarbaby | alright well cool transcoding works.. tomorrow I'll have to look into transcoding to avi and see how that works out | 08:45 |
| solarbaby | Auto Gordian Knot works so well for Avi's I find it hard to believe I can do better, but hopefully it wont be any worse either | 08:46 |
| tazgodx | solarbaby: are you setting up jobs to transcode? | 09:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest68 | hello everyone | 12:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | .. | 12:30 |
| === MythbuntuGuest21 is now known as Cenwesi | ||
| Cenwesi | anyone up? | 12:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | hello | 16:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | Is someone out there that can help with a problem? | 16:39 |
| dwf_starband | ive got to go to work, but if its quick and easy i might be able to | 16:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | I think I messed up the MySql aspect. On the MCC MySQL service is gray and I can't enable/disable it. | 16:40 |
| dwf_starband | its greyed out on mine as well, but everything works | 16:42 |
| dwf_starband | I think you change that stuff with the Launch MythTv setup, | 16:42 |
| dwf_starband | you will have to ask one of the experts here if that doesnt help, though | 16:43 |
| dwf_starband | good luck | 16:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest97 | Hi all! Quick question.... I have a copy of mythbunto from a month or so ago - not sure what build. I have to run mythfilldatabase manually every so often or my listings are not retrieved. It works fine when run manually. | 19:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest97 | Any ideas? | 19:12 |
| KjetilK | I'm trying to figure out if I should go for a light frontend or a everything in one box solution | 19:16 |
| KjetilK | It would be important that the TV card (probably a simple Hauppauge PVR-150) is in the living room box, since it would be a pain to get the antenna to the backend box | 19:17 |
| KjetilK | how much would that complicate the front? | 19:17 |
| KjetilK | Also, I want to try out amarok as music player, I guess that would mean a normal thin client thing, but I guess that could also complicate a light front setup? | 19:19 |
| rambo3 | ama troll | 19:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest78 | When i try to run mythstream i get an error saying that it was compiled against a different libmyth then what i have, what can i do? | 19:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest78, is this on mythbuntu? | 19:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest78 | yes | 19:36 |
| === MythbuntuGuest78 is now known as dattas | ||
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest78, how did you install mythstream? | 19:39 |
| dattas | using the control center | 19:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and this is an install from the final release? | 19:41 |
| dattas | yes it is | 19:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 19:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats strange | 19:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | any other errors? | 19:41 |
| dattas | but i added your guyses trunk build, but i guess that does not include the mythstream? | 19:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that would be the problem | 19:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | afaik unofficial plugins are not covered in trunk | 19:42 |
| dattas | ah, so how do i rebuild mythstream with the newest libmyth? | 19:42 |
| Daviey | tgm4883_laptop: could this be a PPA issue? | 19:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Daviey, i'm not even sure if mythstream is in the PPA | 19:46 |
| Daviey | Ah, you've already caught it | 19:46 |
| Daviey | tgm4883_laptop: yeah, but if the rest of my gets upgraded and leaves mythstream, would cause version mismatch | 19:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | It shouldn't, until you upgrade to .21 (or .20.3) | 19:47 |
| Daviey | dattas: why did you enabled trunk? | 19:47 |
| Daviey | tgm4883_laptop: he's running trunk.. | 19:47 |
| dattas | i like the features that are in it | 19:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 19:47 |
| Daviey | dattas: what new ones? | 19:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Daviey, this is true. Perhaps it just needs compiled with .21 which i would suggest downloading the source package ten | 19:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then | 19:48 |
| dattas | updated mythweb, being able to watch the shows over mythweb in flash | 19:48 |
| dattas | mostly | 19:48 |
| Daviey | dattas: that's the only thing that is tempting me to upgrade my production system | 19:49 |
| dattas | thats why i upgraded | 19:49 |
| dattas | beacuse when i go home on the weekends i like to be able to watch my shows :D | 19:49 |
| Daviey | When i go home, i turn on the TV - streaming is surely better used when *not* at home | 19:50 |
| Daviey | :/ | 19:50 |
| dattas | my mythtv box is in my dorm | 19:50 |
| dattas | so i like to watch tv when i am at home cuz we don't got cable at home | 19:51 |
| Daviey | ah | 19:51 |
| dattas | dorm = free cable lol | 19:51 |
| dattas | does the trunk made the libmyth-dev? | 19:53 |
| dattas | make* | 19:53 |
| dattas | does the weekly trunk build make the libmyth-dev? so can i build mythstream? | 19:57 |
| haffi | Hi, where do I set the "Master server settings" in my mythtv frontend? | 20:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Hello all, I'm having trouble playing avi files through my video lists, I have tried using both Mplayer and Xine, my video card is x1250 onboard. Are there pluggins I need to download? | 22:40 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, what happens when you try to play them? | 22:41 |
| superm1_ | and you tried them from a command line ? | 22:41 |
| superm1_ | or juts in mythvideo? | 22:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Ive tried them through Ubuntu gui and mythtv, they open and close imediately | 22:41 |
| superm1_ | can you try on the command line? | 22:42 |
| superm1_ | it will tell you waht it happening | 22:42 |
| superm1_ | why they won't play | 22:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | sure, how might i do that | 22:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Mplayer filename.avi? | 22:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | says "it seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card availible." | 22:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | running "xvinfo" says "no adapter present" OK seems like a driver issue I suppose | 22:45 |
| superm1_ | do you have a proprietary driver installed? | 22:46 |
| superm1_ | or not | 22:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Yes I did allow its installation | 22:47 |
| superm1_ | what kind of driver? | 22:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | It was asking about allowing it after install of Ubuntu, | 22:47 |
| superm1_ | well i mean which card | 22:47 |
| superm1_ | we can double check that it really is activated | 22:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | "ATI accelerated graphics driver" is in restricted drivers | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | and something didn't go wrong | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | okay | 22:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | the card i have is ati x1250 | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | okay can you open up mcc | 22:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | built into asus MB | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | and then click on proprietary drivers | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | and choose the amd control center button? | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | and see if that has any information about the driver not working properly | 22:48 |
| superm1_ | etc | 22:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | it does nothing when I try to load the Catalyst Control Center form Mythbuntu Control centre | 22:49 |
| superm1_ | okay so something is going wrong there. | 22:49 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | There is a driver availible from AMD/ATI | 22:49 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | should i try to install it? | 22:49 |
| superm1_ | yes | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | well | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | wait | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | how about you check out a few low level things first | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | !pastebin | MythbuntuGuest91 | 22:50 |
| ubotu | MythbuntuGuest91: 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) | 22:50 |
| superm1_ | hopefully its just a small configuration error | 22:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | how do I copy all when using nano? | 22:54 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, well i'd recommend you install a more featured editor | 22:54 |
| superm1_ | like geany,gedit,mousepad | 22:54 |
| superm1_ | leafpad maybe | 22:54 |
| superm1_ | (they're gui editors) | 22:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | ok i have it pasted, log address is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43470/ | 22:58 |
| superm1_ | okay that looks sane | 22:59 |
| superm1_ | can you post the xorg.conf too? | 22:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | there isn't a mythstream type thing that will run on the mythbackend is there? | 23:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | ok i have it pasted, log address is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43471/ | 23:02 |
| === MythbuntuGuest48 is now known as dattas | ||
| superm1_ | dattas, someone was investigating it yesterday | 23:03 |
| superm1_ | but hasn't got it all properly setup | 23:03 |
| superm1_ | mythstreamtv is what its called | 23:03 |
| dattas | oh? any website? | 23:03 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, okay so you don't have Xv setup for your card | 23:03 |
| superm1_ | did you say you installed this "in the installer" or after the reboot? | 23:03 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | neither | 23:04 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, how did you install the proprietary driver then | 23:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | its just the defaults that came with Ubuntu | 23:05 |
| superm1_ | fglrx doesn't come with ubuntu? | 23:05 |
| superm1_ | you activated it with restricted drivers manager? | 23:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | probably since im not sure what that is | 23:05 |
| dattas | superml_ , so it will download podcasts without the frontend? | 23:05 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, okay | 23:06 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, well here is how to solve it | 23:06 |
| superm1_ | from a command line, type this: | 23:06 |
| superm1_ | sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv | 23:06 |
| superm1_ | and then reboot | 23:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | got it done | 23:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | superml, when trying to run an avi file, i get the same error, "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device | 23:11 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, and you rebooted? | 23:11 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, hm | 23:11 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, did that command give you any errors | 23:11 |
| superm1_ | when you ran it to turn on that overlay | 23:11 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, if its stlil doing that, one more to try: | 23:12 |
| superm1_ | sudo aticonfig --initial sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv | 23:12 |
| superm1_ | that should overwrite your xorg.conf with an Xv enabled one rather than just enable the one line | 23:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | superml, says "found fglrx primary device section, nothing to do, terminating" | 23:14 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, well you can manually add the section that is missing then | 23:15 |
| jargonjustin | I'm migrating a system previously used as a Samba server (Debian Etch) over the a Samba/Media server running Mythbuntu. The current setup uses LVM for it's main storage (non root) partition, which the installers partitioner doesn't seem to support. Should I just tell the installer to ignore these partitions, and setup LVM post install? | 23:15 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, if you edit that xorg.conf, you can add these two lines to the section that includes Driver "fglrx" | 23:15 |
| superm1_ | Option "VideoOverlay" "on" | 23:16 |
| superm1_ | Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" | 23:16 |
| superm1_ | jargonjustin, yeah | 23:16 |
| jargonjustin | Alright, /var/lib should also be setup on LVM probably, right? | 23:16 |
| superm1_ | jargonjustin, well just don't setup a mount right now for it i'd say | 23:17 |
| superm1_ | because if you mount it at /var, the installer has a tendency to want to format it | 23:17 |
| jargonjustin | superm1_, ah, of course. Thanks | 23:18 |
| jargonjustin | The only thing MythTV should be hitting the disk for is recording, which it looks like I can map to somewhere outside of /var, right? | 23:19 |
| superm1_ | well yeah you can | 23:19 |
| superm1_ | if you do i'd recommend making /var/lib/mythtv/recordings a symlink to wherever you put it | 23:19 |
| superm1_ | so that you dont have to change a few other areas that would depend upon it | 23:20 |
| jargonjustin | superm1_: Sounds like a better solution, thanks | 23:20 |
| jargonjustin | Is the LIRC setup testable off the LiveCD? | 23:21 |
| superm1_ | jargonjustin, yeah it is in live frontend mode | 23:21 |
| superm1_ | assuming you have a backend installed somewhere else | 23:21 |
| superm1_ | i've only tested it with a few remotes though, so hopefully it works for others :) | 23:21 |
| jargonjustin | Okay, lastly, Mythbuntu can use the regular Ubuntu package repositories, right? | 23:22 |
| dattas | yes | 23:23 |
| superm1_ | matter of fact it does :) | 23:23 |
| superm1_ | all but one of our packages are in the repositories | 23:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | superml, looks like I need to buy a Nvidia card... | 23:23 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, not really. | 23:24 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, once this option is in place | 23:24 |
| superm1_ | it should work out as expected | 23:24 |
| superm1_ | i've got ati in 3 of my machines | 23:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | I have that file edited and still same symptoms | 23:24 |
| dattas | is there anyway to make mythVideo auto scan the video collection? | 23:25 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, you rebooted right? | 23:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | yuppers | 23:25 |
| superm1_ | dattas, there is a way to let it not have to scan | 23:25 |
| superm1_ | but not autoscan | 23:25 |
| dattas | well, what about scan when i go into the videos? | 23:25 |
| dattas | how? | 23:26 |
| solarbaby | I can't wait for the day that MythVideos can be replaced with XBMC | 23:26 |
| dattas | lol xbox | 23:26 |
| superm1_ | dattas, do into mythvideo settings | 23:26 |
| solarbaby | unfortunately I dont know if thats ever going to happen | 23:26 |
| superm1_ | and there is an option for that | 23:26 |
| superm1_ | for browse mode | 23:27 |
| dattas | is it the "video gallery browses file" ? | 23:28 |
| superm1_ | yeah something like that | 23:28 |
| superm1_ | sounds right | 23:28 |
| dattas | ah rockin' | 23:29 |
| dattas | it works as a makeshift podcast watcher :D | 23:29 |
| dattas | just have miro download it | 23:29 |
| dattas | and put it in the videos directory | 23:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | superml, I will double check the xorg.conf | 23:31 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, yeah pastebin it if your not sure | 23:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | ok i have it pasted, log address is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43475/ | 23:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | seems to be in there twice..lol | 23:34 |
| superm1_ | yeah that's correct | 23:35 |
| superm1_ | it should be activating the Xv overlay now | 23:36 |
| superm1_ | ( as long as you've rebooted ) | 23:36 |
| Daviey | superm1_: any ideas on an fglrx i can use with kernel 2.6.23+ | 23:36 |
| * superm1_ checks something | 23:37 | |
| Daviey | ta | 23:37 |
| superm1_ | not officially | 23:38 |
| superm1_ | as of yet | 23:38 |
| Daviey | :( | 23:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | superml, yeah still same problems | 23:38 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, hm | 23:39 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, well that is "the way" to turn on video overlay | 23:39 |
| superm1_ | we can check the Xorg.0.log now | 23:39 |
| superm1_ | to see if it has changed | 23:39 |
| superm1_ | and has an error hwen trying to turn on the overlay | 23:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | ok i have it pasted, log address is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43477/ | 23:41 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, according to that your VideoOverlay turned on properly | 23:43 |
| superm1_ | does xvinfo do any justice now? | 23:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Xvideo Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adapter present | 23:43 |
| superm1_ | well then at this point, i'd recommend trying the drivers from AMD directly (the newer ones) | 23:44 |
| superm1_ | and see if that helps | 23:44 |
| superm1_ | this is all particularly odd. | 23:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | im not sure how to run it...has a .run extension | 23:44 |
| superm1_ | MythbuntuGuest91, go the aticchtml wiki | 23:45 |
| superm1_ | it has directions on how to install and build it from that driver. | 23:45 |
| superm1_ | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 23:45 |
| superm1_ | i'm gonna be afk for a bit but have a ghost here so ping the ghost superm1 if you still run into troubles | 23:46 |
| haffi | Hi, I've got some sound problems with mythtv. I have a backend server w/ a PCTV Pro video card but when I connect with a frontend I can't hear any sound | 23:53 |
