wilberfanthanks for your help...00:06
josiahwanybody here know about loading mythtv frontend onto a appletv or a ps3?00:07
sirbobhow can I set up a remote using an ir receiver from irblaster.info and a hauppage remote00:08
sirbobI have other remotes, if the hauppage one doesn't work like this00:08
foxbuntujosiahw, appleTV and PS3 both have projects...google for them00:09
foxbuntusirbob, check out the docs for the irblaster and mythbuntu-lirc-generator will take care of the hap. remote00:10
sirbobJust to clarify, I am not using the ir reciever on the hauppage card,00:11
sirbobwhat is mythbuntu-lirc-generator?00:11
sirbobjust run that at a command line?00:11
mindframe-what are some good options to use with vlc when playing movies in myth?00:14
foxbuntumindframe pull up the MythVideo Wiki...they are posted there00:29
mindframe-got it00:34
mindframe-now next problem: all of my video files come up scrambled00:34
foxbuntumindframe, be more specific00:36
mindframe-any video file that i tell myth to play is 'scrambled'... blank green screen when vlc is full-screen.  i can play this video files fine from the command line.00:38
mindframe-nvidia issue00:39
foxbuntuso when you play them outside of myth with vlc they work?00:39
mindframe-yes00:39
mindframe-its an issue with the latest nvidia drivers00:39
foxbuntuare you using QT or OpenGL?00:39
foxbuntumindframe where did you find that00:39
mindframe-QT00:39
mindframe-http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=383026300:39
foxbuntumindframe, switch to OpenGL00:40
mindframe-some guy in #mythtv-users00:40
mindframe-okay00:40
mindframe-same issue00:41
foxbuntumindframe the driver mentioned there seems to be an old one00:41
foxbuntuwhat card are you using?00:41
mindframe-onboard 7050pv00:42
mindframe-gonna try out this beta driver00:42
foxbuntu100.23?00:43
mindframe-169.0400:44
mindframe-i currently have 114.19 installed00:45
foxbuntuah sorry..I was thinking for my card00:46
foxbuntudiffernt package00:46
sirbobfoxbuntu: I did mythbuntu-lirc-generator, but I am not sure what it did?00:48
sirbobor where to go from there00:49
foxbuntusirbob, actually, you need to use it from Mytbuntu-Control-Centre, then you can select your remote and it will configure it for you00:50
foxbuntusudo mythbuntu-control-centre00:50
mindframe-foxbuntu, is there any way to speed up the menu fade time in opengl mode?  also what are the advantages to using opengl?00:50
foxbuntuopengl with nvidia usally is faster00:51
foxbuntuis the fade super slow? or just different from QT?"00:52
mindframe-it's slow enough to be annoying00:54
mindframe-i'd rather have the instant switch that QT does00:55
directhexit's hard-coded. gl means fade00:56
sirbobfoxbuntu: It doesn't seem to be working, is there any way I can view a raw input of what lirc is getting?00:57
sirbobfoxbuntu: It doesn't seem to be working, is there any way I can view a raw input of what lirc is getting?01:10
foxbuntusirbob, after you setup the remote you should reboot your machine01:11
sirbobfoxbuntu: still doesn't seem to do anything, it should be able to navigate the mythtv menus, right?01:17
foxbuntusirbob, yes...do you have your irreceiver setup for the remote?01:18
sirbobfoxbuntu: how do you do that? I can't find any docs on the irblaster.info site01:21
foxbuntusirbob, usually those remotes have their own01:21
foxbuntuand its usb01:21
sirbobfoxbuntu: I know, this remote uses one in the tv card i think, but I am using the card in a backend and the remote for a frontend01:23
sirbobfoxbuntu: how can I setup a generic remote (I have ones besides the hauppage) with this reciever?01:23
sirbobin mythbuntu01:23
foxbuntusirbob, I am not sure, I would suggest to surf the forums and google01:24
foxbuntusorry, I have to go01:24

JonathonHas anyone found problems with installing two DTV1000T tuner cards under Ubuntu?01:53
MythbuntuGuest52Hi All, I'm having some trouble enable nfs sharing from the control centre, when I apply the settings, its not actually installing the service02:01
tgm4883_laptopanyone use vlc or xine for their dvd playback?02:58
yotuxdoes mythbuntu have ltsp in it?03:03
trimetaI have a problem where periodically the backend will fail, or something; it's still running, but no longer is receiving input from the RCA cables.03:31
trimetaWhen this happens and I try to watch TV from the frontend, the screen goes black for a bit (as it normally does when selecting Watch TV), but then returns to the menu.03:31
trimetaAny ideas what could be happening?03:31
trimetaAnyone here?04:10
JThundleyyeah, but you have to idle for longer04:13
JThundleythe weekends are especially slow04:13
trimetaAh, OK.04:13
trimetaI don't suppose you'd have any insight into why this serial cable I'm taking apart (a DB-9) lacks a lead to pin 3, which happens to be on of the three most important pins in the whole spec? (Pin 5 is ground, pin 2 is receive, and pin 3 is transmit.)04:24
JThundleyway above me, I'm afraid04:26
trimetaI'm trying the whole "make your own cable to control the STB," but it isn't working for the aforementioned reason. Oh well.04:27
solarbabyGod Bless MythBuntu08:26
trimetaHowso?08:26
solarbabynot in a bad way silly08:26
trimetaI didn't mean to imply that.08:27
solarbabyI've been away for a week, and needed something to say08:27
trimetaAh.08:27
trimetaI'm new here, and am mainly sticking around in the hopes that someone can explain why I lose TV signal after a few hours.08:27
trimetaIf I reboot, it works again.08:28
solarbabyIm not a developer..  but I'd say check your logs08:28
solarbabyonce you've found something fishy, post it on the bulletin board for the developers to look over..  they'll tell you whats up08:29
trimetaI'll take a look.08:29
solarbabyim pretty sure the answer is in there somewhere08:30
trimetaAh, here we go:08:31

trimeta2007-12-01 21:36:33.799 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding08:31
trimetaI'll see what the internet says about that.08:31
solarbabyright on08:31
trimetaHmm...some stuff from 2006...08:33
trimeta...which claims this was fixed a year and a half ago. Suspicious.08:34
trimetaI guess I'll just hang out here a bit and see if a dev comes on; maybe they have insight into whether this issue has really been resolved. Do you know when they frequent this room?08:37
hugolpanyone here is used to Gmyth?09:06
solarbabytrimeta i see them hanging about close to 10 hours from now09:33
trimetaSunday afternoon, that is?09:33

Mersaulton what days are the weekly svn builds made?20:30
superm1today20:31
Mersaultoh, sweet20:31
Mersaultalso, copy/pasted from the weekly build site: This repository will be maintained for the latest Ubuntu release only (At the time, this is Ubuntu 7.10, gutsy Fawn)20:32
superm1ha20:32
superm1tgm4883, you want to fix that?20:32
tgm4883sure20:32
tgm4883i'll make it Feisty Gibbon, hows that ;)20:32
Mersaultjust fix the capitalization of what's there already20:33
Mersault:20:33
superm1argh it looks like that weekly build for -fixes is going to be in trouble20:33
Mersaulthowso?20:33
superm1because the branch has changed significantly20:33
MersaultI'm really more concerned with the svn builds20:33
superm1i'll try it, but i suspect a FTBFS on it20:33
superm1the trunk one should be fine20:33
MersaultFTBFS?20:34
superm1fail to build from source20:34
superm1Mersault, they're pushing right now, so i suspect that they will be built and on the mirrors by tomorrow morning20:38
Mersaultgreat20:41
Mersaultsay, I have some niggling little problems with my install. How do I turn off the accelerating scrolling in mythmusic?20:42
superm1beats me20:42
Mersaultand also, on a mythbuntu install, what would I change in order to pass startup options to mythfrontend?20:42
superm1don't use it at all20:42
Mersaultin /etc/mythtv/session-settings?20:43
superm1yeah20:43
Mersaulthmm.. weird. I put -d in there, and it still tries to do the auto-search thing...20:44
fxrhi, are the linux headers on the mythbuntu cd?21:00
superm1fxr, they are avail on the repos21:01
fxryeah, but i need them to build my wireless drivers.21:02
fxrso its a copy to cd jobbie? defs not on the build cd?21:02
superm1fxr, no they're not on the cd21:13
superm1neither is gcc/build env and such21:13
superm1fxr, what wireless drivers do you need that aren't available directly?21:14
fxrits a belkin wireless driver rt73, i cant get them working here by fiddlin, was gonna just use a procedure i know that works for edgy21:15
superm1fxr, o i c21:17
superm1fxr, well you can install without a network connection21:17
superm1and then add things in later21:17
superm1for the wireless and such21:17
superm1that way you can open up synaptic, mark the debs you need, make a download list, and download them from another computer21:18
superm1and bring them in on a flash drive or something similar21:18
fxryeah.. ok.. aye ll just make my list and grab them from the repo's.. thanks.. just looking for a shortcut as ever ;p21:19
superm1the download list in synaptic is actually pretty nice if you've never used it :)21:20
fxrok.. cool.. ll have a look at that.. thanks again21:23

fxris there any known bugs creating directory symbolic links with mythbuntu?23:03
fxr'sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build'23:03
fxrit just doesnt work and when i got to get properties from the link icon, it freaks out and dissappears -s23:03
superm1_fxr, that's pretty odd23:22
superm1_there is nothing special done to any of the basic utils in mythbuntu23:22
superm1_fxr, did you make sure you had the headers installed already?23:22
tgm4883fxr are you using the single quote key or the tilde key (although it's not tilde is the other one)23:23
fxryeah installed the headers.. i used the full path to rule out anything with the uname -r23:27
fxri think there might be something wrong with the make file23:27
superm1_fxr, you are still using the edgy howto for your card though?23:32
superm1_have you checked for a gutsy on23:32
superm1_one23:32
superm1_taht is more updated23:32
fxryeah had a look for that, the gutsy how to , refers back to the edgy one..23:33
fxri think its got something to do with the headers src23:33
fxrwith the naming convention23:33
fxri mean23:33
fxruname -r = 2.6.22-14-generic .. whereas linux headers is kept in /usr/src/2.6.22-1423:34
fxrits no biggy if i rename that directory right?23:35
superm1_well i'd symlink23:46
superm1_rather than rename23:46
superm1_if i were you23:46
