| free1 | you know what is weird | 02:09 |
|---|---|---|
| free1 | when prompted to select my remote control, it has the manufacturer listed | 02:10 |
| free1 | but it appears it cannot interface with the card | 02:10 |
| free1 | even though the drivers appear loaded | 02:10 |
| free1 | Phillips chipset | 02:10 |

| === MythbuntuGuest87 is now known as mavric | ||
| mavric | wassup | 02:23 |
| mavric | downloading the mythbuntu iso now | 02:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | Anybody know why my channel names aren't getting fetched? | 02:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | information is there, just no names on most. For some reason HBO and Cspan show up fine | 02:25 |
| free1 | guest02-- what tuner card are you using? | 02:25 |
| mavric | wintvgo | 02:26 |
| free1 | oh, so... desktop | 02:29 |
| free1 | ? | 02:29 |
| mavric | ya | 02:29 |
| free1 | seems like haupauge is the way to go. | 02:30 |
| mavric | this will be my first attempt at mythtv | 02:31 |
| mavric | maybe its a myth haha | 02:31 |
| free1 | true, true. ha | 02:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | whoops I got distracted, Hauppauge PVR-150 | 02:33 |
| free1 | 02- wow, and I thought the haupage pvr-150 was problem free... | 02:34 |
| free1 | ... I'm guessing that it's a channel feeder issue | 02:35 |
| free1 | and not neccessarily that of mythtv | 02:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | aw man, that's no fun | 02:36 |
| free1 | yeah, at least it's not mythtv | 02:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | I think I actually saw the same issue posted somewhere, but I can't remember what the answer was and find it again | 02:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | I had an old mythtv installation I hadn't used in months, figured I could use a fresh reinstall and that maybe it would work | 02:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | but looks like I've hit the same problem | 02:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest02 | ooh maybe I found it again | 02:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest02, where do you get your channel data from? | 02:42 |
| free1 | good question. | 02:51 |
| free1 | some sources are notorious for taking down the electronic availability of their feeds | 02:51 |
| free1 | as has happened in my neck of the woods | 02:51 |
| Toxicity999 | Anyone else on trunk builds noting freezes? >.> | 03:02 |
| Toxicity999 | just started after todays uploads | 03:02 |
| * Toxicity999 attempts to ssh the box | 03:02 | |
| Toxicity999 | Locked solid. | 03:02 |
| Toxicity999 | Probably upstream anyway, trunk does that occasionally. | 03:03 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | alright this the guy who was getting no channel names | 03:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | turns out if I delete all the channel info and fetch from the source WITHOUT scanning I get the info | 03:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | BUT | 03:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest24, where do you get your channel data from? | 03:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | the info is 2 channels off | 03:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | where do you live? | 03:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | Connecticut | 03:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | and schedulesdirect | 03:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | interesting | 03:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest24 | also using PVR-150 if that's relevant | 03:16 |

| Mirage | has anyone done an upgrade to the latest release? I'm not seeing anything in the documentation about it. | 05:01 |
| superm1 | latest release of mythbuntu? | 05:02 |
| Mirage | yeah | 05:02 |
| Mirage | i don't want to just blindly do a dist-upgrade and wind up with the full gnome/kde, etc for an htpc | 05:03 |
| Mirage | granted it can all be stripped back off | 05:03 |
| superm1 | what'd you start with? | 05:05 |
| Mirage | i'm running the previous release atm. i've updated mythtv itself independently (following trunk) | 05:06 |
| superm1 | well what od you mean previous | 05:06 |
| superm1 | like alpha1 previous? | 05:07 |
| superm1 | or like release candidate | 05:07 |
| Mirage | worse case i can just dump the db, backup all the .confs and do a fresh install.. | 05:07 |
| Mirage | alpha | 05:07 |
| superm1 | alpha... | 05:10 |
| superm1 | which one | 05:10 |
| superm1 | i'm asking so specifically to let you know which is the easier route | 05:10 |
| superm1 | there was a ton of changes between some of the earlier ones | 05:11 |
| Mirage | i don't know for sure..i'd have to dig the disc. i already nuked the iso when i got the latest release | 05:11 |
| Mirage | mine has a different window manager, doesn't seem to include MCC, etc | 05:11 |
| free1 | are phillips chipset ok to use? | 05:13 |
| superm1 | yeah you're using one of the much earlier ones then | 05:13 |
| superm1 | probably alpha 2 or 3 | 05:13 |
| superm1 | alpha4 would have been a pretty smooth upgrade, but i'll expect some complications with alpha3 | 05:13 |
| Mirage | so apt-get dist-upgrade isn't an option and i'd probably just be better off to back up all the custom configs and db, install fresh, and import it all back in | 05:14 |
| Mirage | free1: for..? | 05:19 |
| superm1 | Mirage, well | 05:19 |
| superm1 | here's what i say you do | 05:20 |
| superm1 | back up the db, the custom stuff and ~ | 05:20 |
| free1 | mirage: for mythtv | 05:20 |
| superm1 | Mirage, and give it a shot | 05:20 |
| superm1 | Mirage, the upgrade | 05:20 |
| free1 | mirage- sorry I didn't know that was for me. | 05:20 |
| superm1 | Mirage, after the upgrade finishes, make sure mythbuntu-desktop is installed | 05:20 |
| Mirage | free1: tuner chipset or which? | 05:20 |
| superm1 | Mirage, and make sure that your log in session is the "Mythbuntu" session | 05:20 |
| free1 | tuner/recoder chipset | 05:20 |
| superm1 | Mirage, and if you have ubuntu-mythtv-frontend installed, remove it | 05:21 |
| superm1 | Mirage, with any luck that should cover your cases | 05:21 |
| Mirage | superm1: np. after the holiday i'll just back it all up and do fresh. should be easier than when i migrated from knoppmyth before | 05:21 |
| Mirage | free1: check http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Supported_hardware | 05:22 |
| superm1 | Mirage, and moving from stable release to stable release with us should be sane | 05:22 |
| superm1 | its just that we had so many big big development type changes during the alphas | 05:22 |
| superm1 | that couldn't be represented nicely in packages | 05:22 |
| Mirage | yeah, mine's running openbox for the wdm | 05:23 |
| Mirage | not sure which alpha that was, but it's definitely an older one. | 05:24 |
| free1 | mirage- thank you for that... | 05:24 |
| Mirage | Via the mythbuntu repositories will it be possible in later released to upgrade with apt, or will it be an option on the live cd? | 05:25 |
| free1 | but these hardware run similar chipsets | 05:25 |
| superm1 | Mirage, well the mythbuntu repositories aren't used in the final release | 05:25 |
| superm1 | Mirage, everything is in the archive | 05:25 |
| superm1 | except for one theme | 05:25 |
| Mirage | free1: as a general rule, hardware encoders are supported. Software ones are a bit trickier and can be problematic | 05:26 |
| superm1 | Mirage, you can upgrade using upgrade-manager to 8.04 when its ready | 05:26 |
| free1 | mirage- right. therein lies the damn thing | 05:26 |
| Mirage | any idea when 2.6.23 will be available? | 05:26 |
| superm1 | Mirage, 2.6.23 won't be in ubuntu | 05:27 |
| superm1 | Mirage, 2.6.22 for gutsy and 2.6.24 for hardy | 05:27 |
| Mirage | free1: i tried 2-3 different software driven boards with little, they all had odd problems. Scratchy audio, artifacting picture, audio for the channel continuing when not viewing the 'stream'.. | 05:28 |
| free1 | mirage- throw me a bone-- do you know of a tuner/recorder that definitely works with myth, no problems | 05:29 |
| superm1 | free1, any of the hauppauge pvr-xxx tuners | 05:29 |
| superm1 | frank23, they are really the way to go if you want guaranteed problem free | 05:29 |
| superm1 | free1, that is | 05:29 |
| Mirage | hrm..may have to build it manually then. supposedly the r8169 problems are fixed in 2.6.23 | 05:29 |
| Mirage | my 500mce works great, and i haven't had any issues with my HDHomerun either if you want to go digital | 05:30 |
| free1 | superm- but some hauppauge pvrxxx are know not to work | 05:32 |
| superm1 | Mirage, r8169? | 05:32 |
| Mirage | get the cards, not the usb | 05:32 |
| superm1 | free1, which ones? | 05:32 |
| Mirage | superm1: realtek 8169. | 05:32 |
| superm1 | Mirage, why not just grab the new 8169 source and build that then? | 05:32 |
| superm1 | rather than the whole new kernel | 05:32 |
| free1 | superm1- VR1500/1600 | 05:33 |
| superm1 | free1, notice i only gave 3 x's :) | 05:33 |
| Mirage | didn't fix it..also using a compatible one from realtek didn't work either. other people i've seen post on it have said the same, and that upgrading to .23 fixed it. | 05:33 |
| === rsriverrat is now known as rsriverrat_ | ||
| superm1 | Mirage, well that's pretty unfortunate | 05:34 |
| free1 | superm1- ;). so you're telling me that all wintv pvr pcmcia are a go?? | 05:34 |
| superm1 | free1, hehe | 05:34 |
| superm1 | free1, okay here's some exact numbers that i know work well | 05:35 |
| superm1 | 150,250,350,500 | 05:35 |
| superm1 | k :) | 05:35 |
| free1 | superm1- you the boss | 05:35 |
| free1 | not to look a gift horse in the mouth, by no means... | 05:36 |
| free1 | superm1- are these digital or analog? | 05:36 |
| superm1 | all analog | 05:36 |
| === rsriverrat_ is now known as rsriverrat | ||
| superm1 | if you want digital, like Mirage said, hdhomerun | 05:36 |
| superm1 | is the way to go | 05:36 |
| superm1 | i've got one myself, and i love it | 05:36 |
| free1 | sorry for the noob question | 05:36 |
| free1 | is that a model, or a manufacturer? | 05:36 |
| Mirage | http://www.silicondust.com/ | 05:37 |
| Mirage | I think I got mine for $169 and free shipping | 05:37 |
| free1 | uhhh, no dice | 05:37 |
| free1 | I'm looking at maximum bulk of a pcmcia | 05:37 |
| superm1 | you mean size? | 05:38 |
| Mirage | what are you using for the box? mini-itx? | 05:38 |
| free1 | yes | 05:38 |
| free1 | I am a firm free-speech fundamentalish | 05:38 |
| Mirage | hdhomerun is external networked (100base) | 05:39 |
| superm1 | well its external | 05:39 |
| superm1 | so you can plug it anywhere in your network | 05:39 |
| free1 | fundamentalist | 05:39 |
| free1 | not free beer | 05:39 |
| free1 | but that 169, | 05:39 |
| free1 | dang | 05:39 |
| superm1 | 2 tuners | 05:39 |
| free1 | no pcmcia card that is also digital that works fine out there? | 05:39 |
| Mirage | and you can watch tv from it on any box connected to the network via VLC | 05:40 |
| superm1 | free1, you mean PCI | 05:40 |
| * Mirage isn't familiar with any | 05:40 | |
| superm1 | or you actually talking pcmcia | 05:40 |
| free1 | I'm talking the credit card sized one that fits in the laptop | 05:41 |
| superm1 | oh that's quite a different story | 05:42 |
| free1 | I see | 05:42 |
| superm1 | i can't tell you any analog or digital pcmcia tuners that for sure will be working | 05:42 |
| superm1 | at least none that i'm familiar with | 05:42 |
| superm1 | the best way to determine if one you have in mind will work is to refer to www.linuxtv.org | 05:42 |
| Mirage | free1: are you planning to run front/backend on the same box? what processor will ytou be running? | 05:48 |
| free1 | yes, celeron | 05:48 |
| free1 | I'll be doing light recording | 05:48 |
| Mirage | speed? | 05:48 |
| Mirage | hopefully at least a 1.4 to be front/backend | 05:49 |
| free1 | umm, good question... one sec | 05:49 |
| free1 | I think so | 05:50 |
| free1 | it's a toshiba satellite l35 | 05:50 |
| free1 | I've got the front and back end installed and up | 05:50 |
| free1 | the tuner card looked like it was golden | 05:51 |
| Mirage | so a laptop? | 05:51 |
| free1 | then at the channal scan | 05:51 |
| free1 | darkness | 05:51 |
| free1 | yes. by all means- a laptop\ | 05:51 |
| Mirage | oh, i thought you said it was a mini-itx box when i asked earlier. | 05:52 |
| free1 | no. must be someone else | 05:52 |
| free1 | laptop or bust | 05:52 |
| Mirage | i think i'm gonna have to say good luck on that then. better to get an older desktop and set it up as a dedicated backend, then just used the live cd as a frontend | 05:57 |
| Mirage | on the laptop | 05:57 |
| superm1 | or even do a frontend install on the laptop | 05:58 |
| superm1 | that's the reason for the different options :) | 05:58 |
| Mirage | yeah, it's a pretty light install | 05:59 |
| free1 | good luck to me. I'm out | 06:13 |
| * Solar_ squatts down and poops on his laptop | 06:50 | |
| Solar_ | Im running out of ideas here.. Im using the ATi drivers on my Dell Latitude C610 Laptop.. Myth frontend runs just fine until I play a video and then I get the blue screen, sound works though.. so its playing the video sound only.. I changed the bit to 16 and that should have helped, but didn't.. I added the overlay to xorg.conf still no good | 07:41 |
| superm1 | HD? | 07:48 |
| Solar_ | Hiya superm1 not hd | 07:51 |
| === Solar_ is now known as Solarbaby | ||
| superm1 | Solarbaby, oh its you. I need you to comment on that pvr-350 bug | 07:52 |
| superm1 | Solarbaby, its been a long time trying to get it through | 07:52 |
| superm1 | so i need someone who its worked for to comment on it still | 07:52 |
| superm1 | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/158562/ | 07:52 |
| Solarbaby | absolutely.. sorry I've not spoken up much lately | 07:52 |
| superm1 | i've been missing too | 07:53 |
| superm1 | i've got a lot going on | 07:53 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: I'd prolly start a new drug addiction if I were in your shoes | 07:53 |
| superm1 | haha | 07:55 |
| superm1 | well so about your current issue, fglrx or open source? | 07:56 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: what should I say.. I ran the patch and my Hauppauge 350 finally works! | 07:57 |
| superm1 | Solarbaby, say that you used the package from the PPA and that it works yeah | 07:57 |
| Solarbaby | Thanks.. Im writing it now | 07:57 |
| Solarbaby | finally done.. Okay Im using opensource drivers.. Ati | 07:59 |
| superm1 | can you use fglrx by chance? | 07:59 |
| Solarbaby | with the Ati driver I even get TV out working which is a must! everything works great, cept when I play a video in mythtv | 07:59 |
| Solarbaby | I can try, but I wouldn't know how to get tv out working with that | 07:59 |
| superm1 | you can get tv out with the open source driver? | 08:01 |
| superm1 | what video card model is that? | 08:01 |
| Solarbaby | Im using the ati driver | 08:01 |
| Solarbaby | as far as I know its open source | 08:01 |
| Solarbaby | its the default driver | 08:01 |
| Solarbaby | tv out worked when I apt-get install ativideoout | 08:02 |
| Solarbaby | sorry atitvout | 08:02 |
| superm1 | right what model video card though | 08:02 |
| superm1 | do you know? | 08:02 |
| Solarbaby | then i rad atitvout -f t and it displayed through the svideo like it should | 08:02 |
| Solarbaby | im not really sure | 08:03 |
| Solarbaby | its a laptop | 08:03 |
| Solarbaby | Dell Latitude C610 | 08:03 |
| superm1 | well check out lspci | 08:03 |
| Solarbaby | ok | 08:03 |
| Solarbaby | thanks for the command, you know I never remember those | 08:03 |
| Solarbaby | It registers as a Ati Radeon Mobility M6 Ly | 08:04 |
| superm1 | okay then you are stuck with the open source ones then | 08:05 |
| superm1 | oh you are using tv out... that's right | 08:05 |
| superm1 | can you change the screen the overlay shows up on? | 08:05 |
| Solarbaby | I can change resolution | 08:06 |
| Solarbaby | and I changed depth to 16 | 08:06 |
| superm1 | you should be able to change overlay too somehow | 08:06 |
| superm1 | i dont know how to offhand for that card | 08:06 |
| Solarbaby | a whole installation ago I used the Radeon driver instead of the Ati, put the depth at 16 and video played.. couldn't duplicate that this time though | 08:07 |
| superm1 | its likely the tv out doing it | 08:07 |
| superm1 | because the overlay is on the wrong monitor | 08:07 |
| Solarbaby | course with the radeon driver I couldn't make tv out work | 08:07 |
| Solarbaby | I only have it setup to use 1 monitor | 08:09 |
| Solarbaby | when I turn on tv out, laptop screen goes blank | 08:09 |
| superm1 | but before you turn on tv out, the laptop screen should show the picture fine right? | 08:10 |
| Solarbaby | anyways video files dont play on either the lcd screen or the tv | 08:10 |
| Solarbaby | nope.. never plays videos.. just gives blue screen.. but I can hear the video audio playing just fine | 08:10 |
| superm1 | what resolution is the laptop running at? | 08:11 |
| Solarbaby | 1024x768@60 | 08:11 |
| superm1 | can you try lowering it? | 08:13 |
| superm1 | to maybe 800x600 and see if it persists? | 08:13 |
| Solarbaby | when I lower it to 800x600 and load the mythtv frontend, it loads, i can't see any of the menu commands but they are all there.. so knowing that, I press enter until I get into play video | 08:14 |
| Solarbaby | and I get a blue screen and audio | 08:14 |
| Solarbaby | nothing crashes so thats kinda good i guess | 08:15 |
| Solarbaby | if I could see the video i'd be set.. but its just boring blue | 08:15 |
| superm1 | hm | 08:16 |
| superm1 | do other media playback apps do this too? | 08:16 |
| superm1 | can you try like mplayer or xine etc | 08:16 |
| Solarbaby | im trying every resolution I have currently.. although if i run 640x480 that could crash the system | 08:16 |
| Solarbaby | yeah.. i'll copy a video file over to the local hard drive and give it a shot | 08:17 |
| Solarbaby | vlc has the same problem | 08:26 |
| superm1 | well i'm gonna have to hit the hay right now | 08:27 |
| superm1 | i'll have to toy with more on it this week | 08:27 |
| Solarbaby | alright.. I'll most likely need you on this one | 08:27 |
| Solarbaby | sure thing.. have a good night buddy | 08:27 |
| superm1 | post to the forums though | 08:27 |
| superm1 | there are a lot of other bright people showing up now | 08:28 |
| Solarbaby | alright will do | 08:28 |
| superm1 | and helping out | 08:28 |
| Solarbaby | not too many compare to you | 08:28 |
| Solarbaby | besides I like you | 08:28 |

| tgm4883_laptop | oanszwoa, did you have a question? | 19:09 |
| oanszwoa | what could be my problem, if can´t change the channels the known way? | 19:09 |
| oanszwoa | xawtv can handle my 2 analog PCI TV-cards. | 19:10 |
| oanszwoa | had to create /etc/modprobe.d/bttv with -> options bttv card=54 tuner=5 | 19:10 |
| oanszwoa | for the second card - the first one was detected right. | 19:11 |
| oanszwoa | ..and, it´s seems to lag often - don´t think, that´s some time-shifting things.. | 19:12 |
| oanszwoa | tgm4883_laptop, do you have an answer? :) | 19:13 |
| oanszwoa | ..or any somment? ;) | 19:13 |
| oanszwoa | sorry - comment.. | 19:13 |
| oanszwoa | switching the channels in the EPG also lags terrible. | 19:16 |
| oanszwoa | i was sure to run into trouble with the hardware - but that it would be a problem to change the channels..... - no. | 19:17 |

| beavis | tgm4883, my "backend part" is quite simple, but it already shows something | 19:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sweet are you polling the status port? | 19:46 |
| beavis | tgm4883, I was just looking for an idea which colors to take for what | 19:46 |
| beavis | It's actually the xml part of the status port I'm talkting to | 19:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | right | 19:47 |
| beavis | I use sax to parse it | 19:47 |
| beavis | do you know which colors MS uses for their media center tray icon? | 19:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 19:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | although I could check | 19:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | later | 19:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | at work we have a few systems with MCE | 19:49 |
| beavis | I guess it's red for recording | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | probably | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i would think though | 19:49 |
| beavis | but what could be yellow/green be used for? | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that yellow be used for recording | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | red for not available (ie offline) | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and green for free | 19:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so your looking at the xml status port on the master backend right? | 19:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | beavis, would it be possible to see this in action? | 19:52 |
| beavis | yes, we of course can share the code | 19:52 |
| beavis | I'll put it on google code | 19:52 |
| beavis | best | 19:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 19:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thanks | 19:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | have you seen the blueprint that I am working on? | 19:53 |
| beavis | nope | 19:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/mythbackend-notifier | 19:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's pretty much exactly what you have, with the addition of some error resolving | 19:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i think* | 19:54 |
| beavis | yes, great | 19:59 |
| beavis | I don't have a gui for the prefs yet, everything's hard coded at the moment... | 20:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I think the important part is getting something that works, then adding features. Sounds like yours is working? | 20:04 |
| beavis | yes, there's always a black icon if the BE is idle and a red one if it's recording | 20:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | how often do you check the xml port? | 20:05 |
| beavis | it works for just one backend and one tv card so far, but it should be easy to add some more features since it's all in the xml file | 20:06 |
| beavis | duration = 15 # seconds | 20:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | have you experienced any backend crashing? | 20:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | there was some talk of the backend crashing if the xml port gets hit too often | 20:07 |
| agruman | heya, i have a dvb-c adapter and everything seems ok in dmesg, scan finds channels, and czap locks, but im unable to get any video, from what i understand im supposed to be able to do "cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > file.mpeg". Is that correct? That file always becomes 0 bytes, and mplayer and klear prduces no video as well. | 20:07 |
| chuk_barn | how does the XMLTVID field in mythconverg.channel get populated? | 20:08 |
| chuk_barn | other than manually | 20:09 |
| === chuk_barn is now known as chuk | ||
| tgm4883_laptop | doesn't it get populated by mythfilldatabase? | 20:09 |
| chuk | thats what I figured, but is it just based on channel number? | 20:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | channel number and location I believe | 20:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | maybe callsign too | 20:10 |
| chuk | and is it a one time thing, or will it overwrite it? | 20:10 |
| chuk | I have some channels that have matching records in my schedulesdirect subscription | 20:10 |
| chuk | but they aren't getting an XMLTVID | 20:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not sure on that, i know there is an update option when scanning, but idk about mythfilldatabase | 20:11 |
| chuk | I can manually assign it | 20:11 |
| chuk | but thats a pain | 20:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | beavis, off to lunch, can you email me a link to that google code when it gets up? | 20:11 |
| beavis | tgm4883, I just have to put my kids to bed... talk to you later | 20:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 20:12 |
| oanszwoa | i´m sure that i checked the box for XMLTV support on installation. | 20:18 |
| oanszwoa | but i can´t select something like that in the backend settings. | 20:19 |
| oanszwoa | where can i activate this later ? | 20:19 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| Mirage | setting up the program guide pull is in the backend config (mythtv-setup) | 20:33 |
| oanszwoa | what i can start over the configuration center - THE backend configuration menu? | 20:36 |
| oanszwoa | after loading new video drivers, it seems to lag less than before. | 20:38 |
| oanszwoa | mirage, can´t find it - got tomatoes on my eyes... | 20:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest72 | hi | 20:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest72 | my son put mythbuntu over ubuntu bay mistake can we change back ..? | 20:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest72 | you guys suck | 20:45 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: I had the Dell C610 Video working with playing videos at 24 bit depth.. but its incredibly unstable | 20:46 |
| JThundley | hahahaha | 20:46 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: the ATi driver sucks | 20:46 |
| vwmoab | How can I do an on demand (one touch) record and stop it from starting a new file every half an hour? I am still fairly new to mythtv and i find myself getting lost in the menus....anyone? | 21:35 |
| oanszwoa | vwmoah, only bots in here... sorry. :( | 21:40 |
| oanszwoa | bye bye.. | 21:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ? | 21:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | vwmoab, so you want a single file that records indefinetly? | 21:41 |
| vwmoab | tgm4883_laptop:i want to initiate the record using the 'R' key and i want it to record to a single file until i tell it to stop | 21:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, and currently it chops it into 30 minute chunks? | 21:43 |
| vwmoab | tgm4883:yeah...i did an on demand record of a flick and when i went to rename it and move it to my repository i found that i had a bunh of half hour chunks | 21:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | vwmoab, ok, i'll think about it. Time to go home. Back in about 20 min | 21:47 |
| directhex | vwmoab, you don't have a program guide set up? | 22:04 |
| JThundley | he's recording from ondemand | 22:05 |
| JThundley | I.e. no schedule | 22:05 |
| directhex | myth's not designed to be a vcr, it's designed to be a pvr | 22:06 |
| JThundley | vwmoab: you could bypass mythtv altogether if you wanted | 22:06 |
| JThundley | cat /dev/video0 > bababooey.mpg | 22:06 |
| JThundley | I would look into filesystem limitations too, although I think all linux filesystems allow for ginormous files | 22:07 |
| vwmoab | sorry guys...i stepped away for a minute...no i dont have a program guide setup....i am working with dishtv....basically what i am trying to do is offload the content from the dish pvr by simply watching it and recording it ondemand with myth | 22:10 |
| directhex | myth's not designed to be a vcr, it's designed to be a pvr | 22:10 |
| directhex | i think you can configure somewhere how long it considers an unknown program to be, but i couldn't say where precisely | 22:11 |
| vwmoab | directhex:yeah i got that the first time....i am thinking that JThundley's suggestion might bear fruit...i like the simplicity... | 22:13 |
| JThundley | just don't forget to kill it ;) | 22:13 |
| directhex | vwmoab, his suggestion is "myth's not designed to be a vcr, it's designed to be a pvr" so not using it at all | 22:13 |
| vwmoab | directhex:i got that too | 22:14 |
| JThundley | you can do a manual schedule in mythtv | 22:14 |
| JThundley | it's just like you would do with a VCR I think | 22:14 |
| JThundley | you set a start time, stop time and channel | 22:15 |
| JThundley | I've never used it | 22:15 |
| vwmoab | JThundley:yeah thats what i was preparing to do....I just want to get the content off...i dont necessarily need to use myth to do it...it just seemed like i could....i like the cat /dev/video0 > filename.mpg...the thing i wonder about that method is what will its default bitrate be...i'd like it to be around a gig an hour which as i understand it is around 2200 | 22:18 |
| JThundley | hmmmm, with cat you wouldn't be able to control stuff like that | 22:19 |
| JThundley | I don't know what the default is | 22:19 |
| JThundley | if you're handy with mencoder I bet you could make it work | 22:19 |
| vwmoab | JThundley:yeah...well i will run a few tests and see what i come up with...thanks to you and the others for your suggestions | 22:20 |
| JThundley | sure thing | 22:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | man, my 20 minutes aways turns into an hour | 22:59 |
| williammanda | if you could just get your bank to do that :) | 23:00 |
| directhex | williammanda, do what? make you queue for 3 times longer? mine does it already! | 23:01 |
| williammanda | sorry meant bank account......grow | 23:02 |
| williammanda | what is the next ubuntu release? | 23:03 |
| williammanda | who has a firewire-enabled cable or satellite tuner? | 23:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i use firewire to stream my motorola 6200 | 23:13 |
| williammanda | is that a cable modem? | 23:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no STB | 23:13 |
| williammanda | do you get HDTV from it? | 23:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 23:14 |
| williammanda | can you do the same with satellite? | 23:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | afaik, unfortunatly not. The laws that apply to cable companies do not apply to satellite transmissions. IE, i don't think they are required to give you a working firewire port | 23:15 |
| williammanda | ok | 23:16 |
| williammanda | what is UPNP? | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Universal Plug And Play | 23:16 |
| williammanda | I have been reading the mythbuntu site :) | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | link? | 23:16 |
| williammanda | yes link | 23:16 |
| williammanda | how would you use UPNP? | 23:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | err, can i get a link to what your reading so I can better explain? | 23:17 |
| williammanda | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV | 23:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 23:19 |
| beavis | tgm4883_laptop, I just moved from SAX to DOM, So the script is broken at the moment | 23:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 23:19 |
| beavis | tgm4883_laptop, I'll put it online when it'll work again | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | williammanda, there are certain media devices that are made by some companies that connect to UPNP media servers | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | UPNP is a protocol allowing this connectivity | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | for instance, here is a review and picture of one | 23:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3217 | 23:21 |
| foxxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, what is the cmd to kill another irc instance (my main id thinks its online still) | 23:23 |
| directhex | if the nick is registered with nickserv, try identifying | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | are you looking to kick it? | 23:23 |
| foxxbuntu | tgm4883 yes | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea try identifing | 23:24 |
| directhex | /msg nickserv ghost registeredNickName NicknamePassword | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | cause you sould be able to overpower the other one | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | providing it is not actually online right now | 23:24 |
| === foxxbuntu is now known as foxbuntu | ||
| foxbuntu | YAY | 23:25 |
| foxbuntu | thanks directhex | 23:25 |
| foxbuntu | much better | 23:25 |
| * directhex knows all, /me sees all | 23:25 | |
| directhex | thankfully, /me does not smell all | 23:25 |
| * foxbuntu is all | 23:25 | |
| === Sphagnum is now known as Tari | ||
| williammanda | what is going to be the next linux kernel in ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| * tgm4883_laptop shrugs | 23:51 | |
| williammanda | or where can I go to find it | 23:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | #ubuntu | 23:51 |
| williammanda | alright sorry | 23:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | maybe the ubuntu launchpad page | 23:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or maybe the UCS boston page | 23:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or maybe superm1 knows | 23:52 |
| williammanda | the reason I ask is .....one of my tuners is added to the future kernel | 23:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which one? | 23:52 |
| williammanda | hold on | 23:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | looks like 2.6.24 will be in hardy | 23:53 |
| williammanda | PCIe DViCO FusionHDTV5 Express | 23:55 |
| williammanda | I have had this thing for over a year and can't use it | 23:55 |
| williammanda | i bought it right before I switched to linux | 23:56 |
| williammanda | worked great in windows | 23:56 |
| williammanda | works in 2.6.24 kernel | 23:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well according to the launchpad page thats the kernel for hardy | 23:57 |
| williammanda | ok ty | 23:57 |
| williammanda | i wasn't trying to be off topic | 23:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is the express version different than the regular version? I was under the impression that it worked | 23:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you weren't too OT, but I was just saying that I didn't know off the top of my head | 23:58 |
| williammanda | I couldn't tell the difference between the two | 23:58 |
