[00:32] <superm1> if hendriski comes back, point him at our -dev channel
[00:32] <superm1> and we can get him into packaging mythpython
[01:32] <Tracy_Home> anyone gotten a kworld plustv dvb (atsc 115) card to work?
[01:39] <Tracy_Home> I followed what it said to do in mythtv and its being detected but I'm having issues configuring it
[02:32] <Tracy_Home> hey I'm getting this when I try to set up my kworld atsc 115 card in the input connections, could not open '0' to probe its input
[02:32] <Tracy_Home> how can I fix that?
[02:34] <hitman936> hi can any one tell me can i load mythbuntu to a flash drive and boot from it
[02:35] <foxbuntu> hitman936, the filesystem for flashdrives is not included
[02:36] <Tracy_Home> hitman why don't you just use the mythbuntu live cd?
[02:38] <hitman936> i have install it to my  harddrive  all ready i just wanted to know that all if i could install it on the flash drive thanks
[02:43] <hitman936> having  a problem with the share folders on the 32bit  the other pc do not see the share folder but if i install the 64bit the pc see the share folders but the sound plays up
[02:49] <williammanda> hey guys
[02:50] <williammanda> can I rip a recorded dvd in mythtv (libdvdcss2 is installed)?
[02:56] <Tracy_Home> Does anyone know how to fix this error in the input connections? (Could not open '0' tp [rpbe ots om[its.)
[02:56] <Tracy_Home> sorry meant (Could not open '0' to probe its inputs.)
[03:06] <Sphagnum> williammanda, probably, but I don't know how offhand
[03:06] <Tari> Tracy_Home, where do you get this error?
[03:11] <Tracy_Home> in the inputs setup screen
[03:12] <Tari> what card do you have?
[03:12] <Tracy_Home> my card is being detected by I'm not sure I'm setting it up right
[03:12] <Tracy_Home> I've got a Kworld ATSC 115
[03:12] <Tracy_Home> I followed the wiki to allow it to show up
[03:12] <Tracy_Home> and its being detected but I couldn't find anything on setting it up
[03:15] <Tari> so it's detected and has a device, but mythtv-setup chokes on it?
[03:16] <Tracy_Home> well I don't know, not sure I'm setting the settings right
[03:16] <Tracy_Home> I've never set one up before
[03:16] <Tracy_Home> I don't mind doing the reading if there's a how to that can explain the settings screen for the backend
[03:18] <Tracy_Home> I've got a feeling that I'm missing a small but vital bit of info on how to configure the settings
[03:19] <Tari> I don't really know
[03:20] <Tari> I've only ever set up an IVTV card, and that was a snap
[03:20] <Tari> does 'ls /dev | grep video' return anything?
[03:22] <Tracy_Home> it returns video0
[03:25] <Tari> so yes, everything's fine kernel-wise
[03:26] <Tari> I don't know what to tell you
[03:26] <Tari> 'good luck figuring it out'?
[03:26] <Tari> since I don't know
[03:26] <Tracy_Home> *lol* thats ok, do you know of any how to's on doing the settings for the backend and configuring the tv card?
[03:27] <Tari> this might help: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythtv-setup
[03:28] <Tracy_Home> thanks!
[03:29] <Tari> no problem
[03:55] <williammanda> hey again

[03:56] <williammanda> get to the point to start the rip.....press 0 to start....
[03:57] <williammanda> says"no jobs and nothing else to do"
[03:57] <williammanda> it didn't even try to record the dvd
[03:58] <Tari> you selected the desired .VOB files?
[03:58] <williammanda> yes

[04:38] <TheShadow> Alright I have two problems first my guide isn't loading and two the video seems to be jittery and skipping a lot
[04:38] <TheShadow> I've tried to look in the logs for a reason but I can't. and this just started after I did an update
[04:38] <TheShadow> Can anyone give me a hand?
[04:41] <spence> i'm trying to add a new dvb to my system, but it requires a new v4l-dvb-kernel. when i run "make" i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/
[04:41] <spence> any ideas what this error means and how to remedy the issue?
[05:08] <wilberfan> is it possible to get the mythbrowser to run flash (so I can watch, for example, google video, youtube, etc....?
[05:08] <wilberfan> i've been trying to install xubuntu-restricted-extras....but medibuntu might be down...?
[05:38] <JThundley> my mythbrowser can't even view some images, good luck

[08:29] <directhex> the playstation generation expect immediate gratification
[08:30] <directhex> he didn't get an exact answer to his completely vague question (i guess nvidia.com set him up the bomb) within 10 minutes, so left. he'll probably now install a pirate copy of winmce, and talk about how useless linux is on forums, especially the support
[09:02] <michaellamothe> superm1: Are you up?
[09:53] <MythbuntuGuest29> Hello all
[09:54] <MythbuntuGuest29> i have a problem with the ati rf remote, is there someone who can help me?
[09:58] <MythbuntuGuest29> is there some one active, who want to speak with me?
[13:12] <dorto> mythbuntu setup is allowing selection from only select channel frequencies - US, Japan, China, Australia etc. My country India is not on the list, what should I select?
[13:14] <dorto> I am talking about: Globar Backend Setup -> Channel Frequency Tablet
[13:14] <dorto> *Table
[13:15] <dorto> I am using WinTV-PVR--500MCE
[13:52] <dorto> I can watch tv alright in MediaPorta/Windows but can't in mythubuntu. anybody wants to help?
[13:53] <dorto> my card is detected correctly by the setup but how to make it scan for the channels (PAL B, India)
[14:00] <levander> I've loaded the xfs kernel module, and I'm going to create a xfs formatted partition in gparted.  But, gparted doesn't give me an xfs option in the filesystem choices.  Anyone know how to get gparted to recognize xfs as an option?
[14:28] <levander> I had to install xfsprogs and xfsdump, fixed now.
[14:36] <rhpot1991> what was the problem?
[16:26] <frink_> hmm
[16:29] <new2linx> anyone help with mythweb stating "2005_20071127190000.mpg does not exist in the recordings directory." Yet it exists on the slave backend/frontend?
[16:29] <JThundley> I had that problem, my mythbackend was screwed up because /dev/video0 got moved
[16:29] <JThundley> I was testing out a webcam
[16:29] <new2linx> and yes the ip of the slave backend/frontend is set to it's own static ip address. is there a log file for mythweb that I can view to see what the error is?
[16:30] <rhpot1991> check the perms on that directory
[16:30] <JThundley> wait, the backend/frontend are the same machine but you're using a real IP address?
[16:30] <JThundley> you should probably be using loopback, 127.0.0.1
[16:31] <new2linx> well /dev/video0 is still there so I don't believe that's the issue. the slave be/fe is a pvr-500 on xubuntu gutsy running mythbuntu control center. the master backend/frontend is running feisty with mythtv 20.0-fixes from the repo's.
[16:31] <new2linx> no, the master backend has to have it's static ip for others to connect to it.
[16:32] <new2linx> the perms are folder is owned by mythtv:mythtv as well as all the recordings.
[16:32] <rhpot1991> I think mythweb has a different folder though
[16:32] <rhpot1991> let me check mine
[16:33] <new2linx> don't think so.
[16:33] <new2linx> actually you were right, my /var/lib/mythtv folder which has recordings and video in it was owned by me instead of mythtv. let me try it now.
[16:33] <rhpot1991> check /var/www/mythweb/
[16:34] <rhpot1991> make sure recordings points to the right spot
[16:35] <new2linx> mythweb only is installed on the master backend/frontend so there is no /var/www/mythtv folder on the slave backend/frontend.
[16:36] <rhpot1991> ln -s /directory/where/recordings/are/ recordings
[16:36] <rhpot1991> have t sudo rm -rf recordings first
[16:36] <rhpot1991> to get rid of the link
[16:36] <new2linx> and yes, the master be/fe /var/www/mythweb/recordings does point to the correct location. I can access all my recordings that are stored on the master be/fe but not the recordings on the slave be/fe
[16:37] <rhpot1991> I'm not sure mythweb can handle that
[16:37] <new2linx> rhpot1991: there's already a symlink there, thanks though
[16:37] <rhpot1991> might have to setup some sort of nfs share
[16:37] <new2linx> REALLY? mythweb access the database doesn't it?
[16:37] <rhpot1991> and have your box with mythweb able to see the recordings
[16:37] <new2linx> the database should have the recordings location which is on the slave be/fe.
[16:37] <rhpot1991> well it can see in the db that they are somewhere, but I don't think wwwdata has access to the folder on the other backends
[16:38] <rhpot1991> let me check that on mine
[16:38] <new2linx> how can I view a mysql database entry for where this recording thinks it's located?
[16:38] <frink_> yo
[16:38] <rhpot1991> yep, same error
[16:39] <new2linx> REALLY? so you're saying that mythweb can't access files that are located on a slave be/fe?
[16:39] <rhpot1991> that is my belief
[16:39] <new2linx> huh.
[16:40] <frink_> even with nfsings ?
[16:40] <new2linx> how do you handle your slave and master recording storage?
[16:40] <rhpot1991> I have a lvm on each box
[16:40] <rhpot1991> so myth itself shares recordings
[16:40] <new2linx> so you do keep your recordings seperate on each machine then?
[16:40] <rhpot1991> but things like mythvideos I have a nfs share from one box to the other
[16:40] <rhpot1991> yep
[16:41] <rhpot1991> solution would be to use a nfs share and have them all in the same place, but you are gonna lose storage then
[16:42] <new2linx> i find this hard to believe that this hasn't been discussed before.
[16:42] <rhpot1991> it might be, I haven't looked into it
[16:42] <rhpot1991> I don't use mythweb for actually viewing video files, I could drive home and watch it quicker than it will stream
[16:43] <new2linx> that's a good point. I should just be using mythfrontend for viewing. I sure hope that works!
[16:44] <rhpot1991> ya that works fine
[16:44] <rhpot1991> provided its set up correctly
[16:47] <new2linx> yeap, I just ssh'd into my box, created a tunneled x11vnc session, started mythtvfrontend and tried the recording that failed in mythweb and sure enough it works.
[16:48] <rhpot1991> ya
[16:48] <new2linx> I'll have to check the mythtv mailing list about this issue. there's gotta a solution without losing storage space
[16:48] <rhpot1991> you should check out nx
[16:48] <rhpot1991> I prefer it over vnc
[16:48] <new2linx> thanks for the help. I tried nx but always had problems with using a passphrase for my secure ssh server
[16:49] <new2linx> gotta go. thanks for the help. I am actually at work right now. :-)  I should actually do some work
[16:49] <rhpot1991> heh, no problem
[16:49]  * rhpot1991 may also currently be at work
[17:06] <new2linx> rhpot1991: I am back, nx is just vnc tunneled through a secure ssh channel. isnt' it?
[17:09] <frink_> I thought it was more like a compressed X protocol through SSH.
[17:10] <frink_> ala DXPC
[17:10] <frink_> not just remote frame buffer
[17:10] <frink_> DXPC was cool, I ran it over 9k6 IP links back in like '95-6
[19:36] <datphysh> greetings
[19:44] <datphysh> hello.  Anyone hear feel like throwing me some input on a proposed setup?
[19:45] <rhpot1991> sure
[19:46] <datphysh> I'm trying to build a box that'll be capable of Off air (ATSC) HD timeshifting, as well as possibly having an HD-DVD or BuRay drive in it for playing on my plasma tv.
[19:46] <datphysh> My current plan has been:
[19:48] <datphysh> AMD x2 6400+ on an Asus M2N32-SLI board with 2 gigs of ram, an Nvidea geforce 7600 GS video card, everything running on Sata drives, and a pcHDTV (think that's the name) capture card
[19:48] <rhpot1991> unfortunately I don't do HD currently
[19:48] <directhex> you'd be better off with intel
[19:48] <rhpot1991> so I can't really give much input as far as that goes
[19:49] <directhex> but i suspect that spec is high enough for US (mpeg2) HD
[19:49] <datphysh> from the benchmarks I was reading, the research I was doing, Intel did have better performing chips that the AMD I've got, but they are also $600 (us dollars) in cost
[19:50] <datphysh> better performing "than" rather
[19:50] <datphysh> but otherwise, in rendering and encoding, this was the top of the AMD line, so I was hoping it'd be good enough
[19:52] <datphysh> but what about the Nvidia card?  I thought I read that the 8K series wasn't supporting Xv?  so will a 7600 Gs give me the performance I need for mpeg2?
[19:54] <directhex> under linux *any* nvidia card will behave the same. well, anything newer than geforce4
[19:54] <directhex> gf8, gf7, whatever
[19:57] <datphysh> ok, well thank you for your input
[20:13] <tgm4883> directhex, unless i'm missing something obvious, datphysh's specs are more than adaquate
[20:14] <directhex> tgm4883, hd h264 is a real bitch on any spec
[20:14] <directhex> tgm4883, as a pure floating-point process, i'd usually go for the cpu with twice the performance in that field
[20:14] <tgm4883> yep, i missed that part
[20:15] <tgm4883> your talking about his requirement for HD-dvd or bluray?
[20:19] <directhex> both are a bit nebulous, and less demanding than broadcast
[20:25] <spence> yes, check the logs for the pastebin of the fully functional script.... right around the "GOT IT!!!!" post if you search
[20:27] <spence> oops, not the post i wanted to make.... what would cause this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/
[21:29] <rhpot1991> so dvd menus work correctly for everyone with the internal player?
[21:29] <rhpot1991> s/so/do
[21:32] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, no
[21:32] <tgm4883> i have some issues with some of my stored dvds
[21:32] <tgm4883> so i switched to xine
[21:32] <rhpot1991> I ripped a dvd to the hd as an iso to mess around
[21:33] <rhpot1991> original menus work fine
[21:33] <rhpot1991> if I go to a sub menu it automagically is playing something within that
[21:33] <rhpot1991> I see the menu flash up then video comes on
[21:33] <tgm4883> you rip with mythtv?
[21:33] <rhpot1991> I just tried from the actual dvd remotely, I could get to the submenu but it seemed to get stuck there as I had no control and video never came on
[21:33] <rhpot1991> yep
[21:34] <rhpot1991> a rip to xvid seemed to behave strangely too, forward skip was only skipping a second at a time, that might be some setting or something somewhere though, not sure
[21:35] <tgm4883> hmm
[21:35] <tgm4883> yea i rip outside of mythtv
[21:35] <rhpot1991> any reason why?
[21:35] <tgm4883> because I keep my dvd's on my fileserver, not my mythbox
[21:36] <tgm4883> i haven't messed with ripping it with mythtv, how much control do you have?
[21:36] <rhpot1991> you can choose what to rip
[21:36] <rhpot1991> sound options (ac3, etc)
[21:37] <rhpot1991> and video quality (iso, perfect (vob), excellent - medium(xvid))
[21:37] <tgm4883> hmm, nice
[21:37] <tgm4883> maybe i will try that then
[21:37] <rhpot1991> it works quite well
[21:37] <rhpot1991> takes a good 4 hours to rip on my box
[21:37] <tgm4883> as I have been having a few issues with my ripper
[21:37] <tgm4883> ouch
[21:37] <tgm4883> thats a long time
[21:37] <rhpot1991> but its not a quick process to begin with
[21:38] <tgm4883> takes me like 30 minutes
[21:38] <rhpot1991> compressing at all?
[21:38] <tgm4883> for a full rip
[21:38] <tgm4883> no
[21:38] <rhpot1991> thats why
[21:38] <rhpot1991> whats your cpu?
[21:38] <tgm4883> why compress?
[21:38] <rhpot1991> I was messing around
[21:38] <tgm4883> ah
[21:38] <rhpot1991> I'm not sure how long it took to make an iso
[21:38] <tgm4883> 1.6 C2D
[21:38] <rhpot1991> I normally do it then go to bed
[21:39] <rhpot1991> I'm running on an amd athlon xp 1900+
[21:39] <rhpot1991> so your cpu it a bit better than mine
[21:39] <rhpot1991> an "excelent" xvid rip came out to be 1.9gb
[21:40] <tgm4883> i used to rip to that, but HD space is just so cheap now
[21:40] <rhpot1991> while the iso was 7.3gb
[21:40] <tgm4883> right, but the iso had more than just the main movie on it right?
[21:40] <rhpot1991> I'm contemplating if the special features are worth that extra space or not
[21:40] <tgm4883> you should rip to ogg anyway ;)
[21:40] <rhpot1991> never messed with ogg
[21:41] <rhpot1991> hows the compression ratio?
[21:41] <tgm4883> depends, if it's a movie, i usually rip just the movie to iso, if it's tv shows, i rip the whole thing
[21:41] <rhpot1991> why make an iso if its just the movie though?
[21:42] <tgm4883> why not?
[21:42] <rhpot1991> if your just gonna watch the movie, then the menu is a waste of time
[21:42] <tgm4883> menu isn't included
[21:42] <rhpot1991> is it compressed?
[21:42] <tgm4883> no
[21:42] <tgm4883> fully dvd complient
[21:43] <rhpot1991> guess I'm just not used to doing it that way
[21:43] <tgm4883> just strips out the extras, and the menus
[21:43] <rhpot1991> I'm used to an iso being a container for something
[21:43] <tgm4883> right, it's a container for the movie.  Doesn't need any of the menus
[21:44] <rhpot1991> ya, just seems strange having a container for a single file
[21:44] <tgm4883> for instance, if i burned that to a dvd, i could stick it in any dvd player and it would play the movie right away
[21:44] <rhpot1991> ya, that is nice
[21:44] <tgm4883> well, it's not exactly a single file
[21:44]  * rhpot1991 has an divx dvd player
[21:44] <directhex> iso is a container for an iso9660 file system
[21:44] <rhpot1991> came in handy before I build my mythboxes
[21:45] <tgm4883> i think that files are usually 1GB max for video dvd
[21:45] <tgm4883> it's been awhile since i looked at it
[21:45] <rhpot1991> I snagged a 1TB mybook on BF, which I plan on ripping my dvd collection to
[21:46] <rhpot1991> so I have just been messing around seeing which direction I want to go
[21:46] <rhpot1991> I wonder how hard it would be to convert an iso to something like xvid at a later time
[21:48] <rhpot1991> there isn't any option to run a user job on a video is there?
[21:48] <tgm4883> probably the same as it is now, or less difficult, being that you would already have it at without encryption and already without unnecessary features
[21:48] <tgm4883> well you could make a user job for it
[21:49] <rhpot1991> I'm contemplating if I can modify my ipod export script to run on videos too, and which format would be easies to convert to mp4
[21:52] <rhpot1991> I'm not seeing any sort of menu system for the video
[21:57] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: if you try out the internal mythripper let me know how it compares
[21:58] <rhpot1991> time to head home, take care
