[00:49] <bluec99> anyone had issues with encrypted DVD on mythbuntu?
[00:49] <bluec99> had an original build where i started with mythbuntu and added gnome user environment
[00:49] <bluec99> on that build could watch and import DVD
[00:50] <bluec99> rebuilt and only installed mythbuntu, no desktop environment.
[00:50] <bluec99> now I cannot watch the same DVD.
[00:52] <bluec99> have tried playing DVD in mplayer and XINE first, but still no go
[00:52] <bluec99> seems like unlock code is not sent to drive
[00:53] <protonchris> Do you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[01:03] <bluec99> that appears to be the problem.  loaded it up and working now.  Thanks!
[02:07] <MythbuntuGuest28> hello?
[02:08] <MythbuntuGuest28> ok -- just gonna post my question -- i'm setting up an old pc to run mythbuntu 7.10. however, on boot, i get to the "mybuntu" splash screen, but when it finishes loading my monitor just shuts off. is this a video card issue? i'm running an old radeon card (don't know what kind)
[02:11] <MythbuntuGuest28> any help would be appreciated. i noticed in the install doc that the radeon cards don't have great results, but i wanted to know if this issue is definitely a vid-card thing
[02:43] <williammanda0822> hey guys
[02:45] <williammanda0822> anyone have any ideas on how I can set different channel frequencies for a snapstream firefly remote
[03:08] <williammanda0822>  does anyone know how to post on Gossamer Threads?
[04:09] <nettow0822_> how do you find out if your nickname is currently used and how do you set the password? This is for freenode.
[04:27] <bluec99> nettow0822, i believe you can use this for freenode nicknames: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration

[04:30] <nettow0822> how could you tell I was having problems?
[04:30] <nettow0822> I just went through the link you gave
[06:20] <MythbuntuGuest85> I can't get mythbuntu to boot into the LiveCD Environment
[06:20] <MythbuntuGuest85> I can get to the menu, but if I choose Stat mythbuntu, the screen turns off and doesnt seem to come back up
[06:22] <MythbuntuGuest85> i tried Safe Graphics mode.  The screen turned off for about 3-5 minutes, then came back on to a black screen with white text that says LIRC IS NOT CONFIGURED  then Starting lirc daemon, starting deferred execution scheduler atd, starting periodic command scheduler crond, checking battery state, running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)
[06:22] <MythbuntuGuest85> i have been at this screen for a while now
[06:22] <MythbuntuGuest85> Should i try re-burning the CD?
[07:49] <MythbuntuGuest88> anyone here, I got a question about setting up a mythbuntu install
[07:50] <MythbuntuGuest88> i have a pvr150 and I want to hook it up to my cable box so I can record tv off the STB.  What is the easiest way to change channels?

[15:51] <wilberfan> morning room...
[15:51]  * wilberfan yawns
[16:39] <rushfan> Whats up with this? none of my media players in my mythbuntu installation have support for divx in an mkv container
[16:39] <rushfan> the audio plays fine but no video :|
[16:39] <padan> rushfan, worked out of the box for me
[16:39] <padan> you sure there is nothing wrong with the video?
[16:39] <padan> mplayer is fairly unbiased in the media that it supports :)
[16:40] <rushfan> It plays fine on my gentoo box
[16:40] <padan> odd
[16:40] <padan> and can you play regular divx?
[16:40] <rushfan> Dunno. HAvent tested
[16:41] <rushfan> mplayer says "FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo)
[16:41] <padan> that seems like a different error
[16:41] <padan> can you play any video?
[16:41] <padan> did you change the options for mplayer in the settings?
[16:42] <rushfan> where are the mplayer options?
[16:42] <rushfan> Im going to try playing a .divx right now. let me just try sending it over
[16:42] <padan> i get those errors when my graphics card isn't setup quite right... like if i have the open source ati drivers insetad of the ati proprietary
[16:42] <padan> well you can do like -vo x11
[16:42] <padan> check mplyaer's help
[16:43] <padan> but that will likely not play the hidef stuff since it usually indicates a graphics setup issue
[16:43] <padan> basically it doesn't use hw accel
[16:44] <rushfan> damn
[16:44] <rushfan> this is high def video already
[16:44] <rushfan> alright*
[16:45] <padan> what type of video card do you have?
[16:45] <rushfan> Well my laptop does have a crap graphics card
[16:45] <rushfan> Umm, this is laptop is from 1999 with an ATI card
[16:45] <rushfan> I can watch regular tv on it at least
[16:45] <padan> did you install the ati propreitary drivers?
[16:45] <rushfan> no
[16:46] <padan> if you go to another desktop, or exit mythtv, there should be a notification about it somewhere on teh top right
[16:46] <rushfan> theres not :|
[16:46] <rushfan> do
[16:46] <rushfan> I just look for it in synaptic
[16:46] <rushfan> ?
[16:46] <padan> yes, im trying to find the ubuntu package name
[16:46] <rushfan> Or is there a control center setting I have to play with
[16:46] <padan> in gentoo its ati-drivers..
[16:46] <padan> donno ubuntu apt :P
[16:46] <rushfan> not that the proprietary ati drivers arent total garbage anyhow
[16:46] <rushfan> padan: oh you use gentoo too :P
[16:47] <padan> ya
[16:47] <rushfan> Thats why Id rather use gentoo on this laptop but its just too slow to comp[ile. useflags ftw
[16:47] <padan> then use binaries :P
[16:47] <padan> u dont have to compile everything
[16:47] <padan> heh
[16:48] <padan> but i went with mythbuntu cause its easy and i was lazy
[16:48] <rushfan> How many binaries does gentoo have? but yeah mythbuntu was way easier
[16:48] <rushfan> wireless worked w/o hassle etc
[16:49] <padan> you can get everything as a binary, its a myth that you have to compile everything
[16:49] <padan> i do because its worthwhile
[16:49] <padan> but
[16:49] <padan> you dont have to
[16:49] <rushfan> oh
[16:49] <rushfan> granted using gentoo is somewhat pointless if you arent going to compile
[16:50] <rushfan> I mean theres still the high configurability but thats about it
[16:50] <padan> well portage is > apt
[16:50] <padan> heh
[16:50] <padan> apt sucks balls
[16:51] <padan> you never know what kind of options you enabling /disabling
[16:52] <rushfan> oh yeah portage is the best package management system on linux
[16:52] <rushfan> my gfx card is a 3d rage lt pro
[16:53] <rushfan> but it looks like the ati proprietary driver is enabled :|
[16:53] <rushfan> maybe it just cant ahndle 1080i video
[16:53] <padan> well
[16:53] <padan> it shoudl play then
[16:53] <padan> but mplayer will bitch
[16:53] <padan> 'your computer is too slow to play this'
[16:53] <padan> is 1080 that much better than 720?
[16:54] <rushfan> dunnp
[16:54] <rushfan> Ive never seen it on my computer
[16:55] <rushfan> im downloading some 720p right now
[16:55] <rushfan> some of my local channels are 720p but I dont ahve a high def tuner yet
[16:55] <padan> k
[17:02] <mpontillo> So I'm using MythBuntu 7.10 and running into an issue. I see "kernel: [12490.321048] ivtv0: DMA TIMEOUT 00000001 0" in /var/log/syslog for about half an hour, then the box crashes. From what I've read so far, looks like a kernel issue, but I haven't found any recommendations on how to fix it. I haven't juggled kernels in a long time - last experience was with  Slackware. =) What's safe to do?
[17:08] <rushfan> padan: regulary divx plays fine
[17:09] <padan> i have no clue then... the mkv stuff played fine out of the box
[17:09] <rushfan> wierd
[17:09] <rushfan> ill try another mkv
[17:10] <rushfan> i really think my pos graphics card just cant handle the massive resolution of 1080i
[17:10] <rushfan> well -v0 x11 did the trick :|
[17:10] <padan> and it actually played?
[17:11] <rushfan> yes
[17:11] <padan> oke
[17:11] <rushfan> its playing right now
[17:11] <rushfan> it doesnt fit on the screen at alll obviously
[17:12] <rushfan> but its playing
[17:12] <rushfan> let met rying hooking up to my projector now
[17:16] <mpontillo> Hmm... http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?p=249988 ... looks like the issue I'm talking about might have been fixed in later versions of the ivtv driver. Anyone know how to upgrade it, and keep Ubuntu happy?
[17:18] <hasse_> hello, im running mythtv - after an upgrade (mythbuntu), i needs the libmythtv-0.20.2* and thats not a part of my system, where to install that, please help
[17:19] <hasse_> the lib-mythtv-0.20. is there, but not 0.20.2.
[17:24] <mpontillo> on my system, if I do an "apt-cache show libmyth-0.20" it reports "Version: 0.20.2-0ubuntu10" and in /usr/lib I see a libmyth-0.20.2.so.0
[17:26] <mpontillo> you're welcome ;)
[17:46] <wilberfan> anyone know anything about SSH/xtoolwait...?  someone in here showed me how to connect remotely this way to my myth box.... which is cool.   Can i use this method to connect to an already-running app??
[17:48] <wilberfan> I haven't configured the myth box to use dual-displays, so output goes to my TV...  I left azureus running all night (on the myth box) and I'd like to check on it from my non-myth (main) box
[17:48] <wilberfan> is this possible??
[17:48] <Dr_willis> wilberfan,  in a case like that i normally have vncserver going and a minimal desktop i run apps on that vncserver desktop
[17:48] <mpontillo> SSH allows you console access remotely. VNC would allow you to view the display. Not sure what xtoolwait would have to do with anything
[17:49] <Dr_willis> wilberfan,  ive seen what you are talking about done.. but it needed setting up beforhand.. so not sure its doable  in the way you want.
[17:49] <padan> if you are ssh'ing from another x windows session you can forward x too
[17:49] <Dr_willis> wilberfan,  if you are using gnome or kde. You can enable vnc and get to the currently running desktop also.
[17:49] <padan> and launch non-console based apps
[17:50] <wilberfan> Dr_willis: hmmm...i've used VNC to connect to my mom and friend's computer...
[17:50] <Dr_willis> vnc is a regulare swiss army knife kind of tool. :)
[17:50] <wilberfan> well maybe you can walk me through this....  i've got azureus running (under XFCE) on the myth box....
[17:51] <wilberfan> i'm running KDE (sidux) on the main box...
[17:51] <Dr_willis> You are stuck then. as far as i know. :)
[17:51] <wilberfan> lol   how come?
[17:51] <Dr_willis> You dont just move apps from one desktop to another (at least not easially)
[17:51] <Dr_willis> IF you run vncserver, then start azurus on the vncdesktop. then its trivial to get to iut remotely
[17:51] <padan> you probably need to restart x to get vnc up and running
[17:52] <mpontillo> I believe if you enable VNC using the mythbuntu setup tool, it will run on display :0 (that is, the same output that should be on your TV). That might be what you want. It doesn't work for me though. =) (The VNC display is corrupt and unusable)
[17:52] <Dr_willis> You can have vncserver going with a seperate desktop.  You could then kill the initial azurus app. (with kill ) then restart azurus on the vncdesktop
[17:53] <Dr_willis> having mythtv/video output on vnc is a bit.. well.. not very good :)  but hes just wanting to run a normal app or 2 i think.
[17:53] <mpontillo> But yeah, if you haven't already enabled it, you'd have to restart X and your app would go away anyway. So I'd do a separate desktop like the good doctor suggests ;)
[17:54] <Dr_willis> byt the default ubuntu-mythtv desktop is xfce isent it? doee it have a vnc feature? I thought only gnome/kde had that.
[17:54] <wilberfan> hmmm...  i guess i want it both ways:  last night i only wanted the myth box running--so i started azureus there...  this  morning i wanted to CHECK on the myth box--without having to turn on the TV!
[17:54] <mpontillo> I think it just adds some lines into your xorg.conf to allow a VNC module to run alongside your standard display - portable no matter what WM you're using
[17:54] <Dr_willis> shareing the curently running desktop. can be a bit of a hassle/slowdown. for many reasons. :)
[17:55] <wilberfan> guess so...
[17:55] <Dr_willis> mpontillo,  not seen that. :)
[17:55] <wilberfan> what I'd REALLY like is to have my mythtv output mirrored to my computer monitor!
[17:55] <mpontillo> wilberfan, it sounds like you want something like a MythTV player for a different PC?
[17:55] <Dr_willis> kvm switch?
[17:56] <mpontillo> (if so, try http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/)
[17:56] <Dr_willis> or a mythtv client for the player. but that wont give you the desktop.
[17:56] <wilberfan> or, no....that's wrong...  I'd like the mythtv output to go to the TV--but have a XFCE desktop available on the computer monitor...
[17:56] <Dr_willis> I got MythTV set up where "MythTV frotn end" is on my TV. and The Desktop is on the PC monitor.
[17:56] <Dr_willis> but my TV is right next to the PC/monitor. :)
[17:56] <Dr_willis> Twinview is fun.
[17:56] <wilberfan> so the same box would be sending the myth frontend to the tv--but i'd be able to have a desktop avail to run other apps, etc...
[17:57] <Dr_willis> wilberfan,  doing that right now. :)
[17:57] <Dr_willis> i do have to mouse over to the Mythtv frotn end to change channels and stuff.
[17:57] <wilberfan> Dr_willis: [envy]  but my tv is in the next room!   (You should see me dragging the mouse & keyboard in there!)
[17:57] <Dr_willis> wireless keyboard = the ultimate remote. :)
[17:57] <wilberfan> lol
[17:58] <wilberfan> short of the TV/separate desktop scenario...  is there a way to have the SAME output sent to the TV AND the monitor?
[17:59] <Dr_willis> There are vga splitter/svideo converters..
[17:59] <mpontillo> yeah, there are ways to clone your video... how to do it depends on your video card
[17:59] <Dr_willis> or one of those wireless pc ->tv signal gizmos.
[18:00] <wilberfan> i've got an nVidia 5200 w/TV out...
[18:00] <Dr_willis> or if you got svideo out. theres cheaper video->wireless->reciver gizmos
[18:00] <mpontillo> yes, for me the easiest way was to get a PC -> TV converter... ~$60 part
[18:00] <wilberfan> and an S-video cable running from the kitchen (where both boxes are) into the den--where the TV is...
[18:01] <Dr_willis> how about sound? :)
[18:02] <mpontillo> sound should be easy. it's typically the same analog signal no matter how you use it. just go get the right adapters and splitters
[18:02] <wilberfan> 50' audio cable!
[18:02] <wilberfan> there's a TERRIBLE hum, though, when I run it into my receiver...
[18:02] <mpontillo> heh
[18:03] <Dr_willis> Yep. I have issues with long runs of sound cables. Too many lights I guess..
[18:03] <Dr_willis> or adaptors about.
[18:03] <Dr_willis> of course all this - wont let you contrll the mythtv machine from the living room
[18:06] <wilberfan> yeah, the only way to control it from the living room (so far) is draggin' the mouse & keyboard in there...!
[18:06] <Dr_willis> Ask santa for a Wireless keyoard for xmas. :)
[18:07] <wilberfan> actually, maybe i lied:  I have the hauppauge pvr-350--and THAT has a remote!
[18:07] <wilberfan> so i AM able to start/stop/volume/channel from in there....
[18:08] <wilberfan> :)
[18:08] <wilberfan> just not the other stuff....
[18:08] <wilberfan> speaking of that:  is there a way to have myth display the where-you-are-in-the-video-file time?
[18:09] <wilberfan> i noticed on SOME files, if i hit pause--it will display "3:36 of 32:30"--but no for every kind of video file...
[18:09] <wilberfan> i was watching some .avi's yesterday--and no display like that on pause...
[18:10] <Dr_willis> I was thinking some files dont have the proper seeking info - so the player may not know how long they are.
[18:11] <wilberfan> ah
[18:11] <Dr_willis> ive notices on some i cant fast forweard properly with some players also.
[18:11] <wilberfan> yeah, these were NOT files i 'recorded' myself...
[18:12] <Dr_willis> :)
[18:14] <wilberfan> and do you know if the "tv" "radio" "power" "videos" buttons should work with those functions on my 350 remote?
[18:14] <wilberfan> (cuz they don't)
[18:14] <Dr_willis> I never had half the buttons on my remote work.. and it was laggy..
[18:14] <Dr_willis> so i asked santa for a wireless keybaord.
[18:14] <Dr_willis> :)
[18:14] <wilberfan> The 'guide' button works...  the 'power' button doesn't do anything...
[18:14] <Dr_willis> Then the wife took it.
[18:15] <wilberfan> my remote works pretty well, all things considered...
[18:15] <wilberfan> it would be awesome if all those buttons worked as advertised...
[18:17] <Dr_willis> Heck nothing ever works as advertised. :)
[18:23] <wilberfan> even the wife!
[18:24] <wilberfan> [rimshot]
[18:47] <szakulec> I'm trying to record my VHS tapes onto my mythbox- so far I've been unsuccessful
[18:51] <wilberfan> what's it mean when i've got these faint, transparent bars travelling up my tv screen--top-to-bottom...
[18:51] <wilberfan> some kind of scanning issue, i guess...  or interference of some kind?  or...?
[18:51] <szakulec> it's probably interlacing
[18:51] <wilberfan> szakulec: is there an adjustment for that...?
[18:52] <szakulec> there should be options under myth-backend to choose the appropriate de-interlacer
[18:53] <wilberfan> szakulec: i'll go look for that..thanks
[18:53] <wilberfan> any idea why (apparently) NONE of my video players will open under myth--IF i'm at the xfce desktop?
[18:54] <wilberfan> xine, vlc...they all crash if i try and open a video file...myth plays 'em all fine, though...
[18:54] <szakulec> open up a terminal and run them from a terminal- it will let you see any messages from the program
[19:00] <wilberfan> VLC:  "Bus error  Core Dumped"  (!)
[19:00] <wilberfan> ditto for Xine...
[19:00] <wilberfan> at least they're consistent!   ;)
[19:01] <wilberfan> szakulec: any idea what that means?
[19:03] <szakulec> that's not an error I've run across, but it sounds not good- so lets try something else
[19:03] <szakulec> do you have ffmpeg installed?
[19:03] <wilberfan> pretty sure, yeah...  is there a way to tell for sure?
[19:04] <wilberfan> i think i installed all the 'extras'...
[19:04] <szakulec> type ffmpeg at a terminal
[19:04] <szakulec> if a whole lotta text scrolls by, it's installed
[19:05] <wilberfan> Bus error (core dumped) !
[19:05] <szakulec> it said that?
[19:05] <wilberfan> yep
[19:06] <wilberfan> the myth frontend is running--that wouldn't make a diff would it?
[19:06] <szakulec> it shouldn't at all
[19:06] <szakulec> well, we'll try one more thing
[19:06] <szakulec> go to the directory with your video file, and type ffplay -stats video_name
[19:08] <wilberfan> ok...  brb
[19:12] <wilberfan> Bus error (core dumped)
[19:12] <wilberfan> so, same error each time!
[19:13] <superm1> bus errors?
[19:13] <superm1> are you running on a different non intel/non amd proc?
[19:15] <wilberfan> the myth box is a pentium 4....
[19:18] <superm1> wilberfan, ah well when are said bus errors occurring?
[19:19] <wilberfan> whenever i try and run vlc, xine, ffmpeg...   the myth frontend runs fine, though...
[19:19] <wilberfan> that strikes me as very odd....
[19:20] <superm1> hm.
[19:21] <tgm4883_laptop> bus errors?
[19:21] <superm1> well can you provide some more context?
[19:21] <superm1> are you using someone else's packages for these?
[19:21] <superm1> or ubuntu archive ones
[19:22] <wilberfan> it's all mythbuntu...   although I may have added vlc and xine from the repos?
[19:25] <wilberfan> i installed the xubuntu-desktop package....
[19:25] <MythbuntuGuest45> has anyone been able to install the NA dvb patches?
[19:26] <wilberfan> i enabled the medibuntu repo--and installed the restricted codecs, etc..
[19:26] <szakulec> any error messages show up in dmesg|tail ?
[19:29] <superm1> wilberfan, well it's possible that the medibuntu might be having problems (but unlikely)
[19:29] <superm1> wilberfan, what are you doing when the bus errors crop up?
[19:29] <wilberfan> szakulec: there's an agpgart message   an lirc_dev, bttv cx2388x message...
[19:29] <wilberfan> no bus errors in dmesg....
[19:30] <superm1> playing a particular video?
[19:30] <wilberfan> superm1: just trying to open a video
[19:30] <superm1> or just starting the app
[19:30] <superm1> you tried different ones?
[19:30] <wilberfan> just starting 'vlc' will crash...
[19:30] <wilberfan> or xine
[19:30] <wilberfan> or ffmpeg
[19:30] <superm1> wilberfan, can you install apport-gtk
[19:30] <superm1> can at least get a crash report submitted
[19:32] <wilberfan> superm1: ok, it's installed...  how do i run it?
[19:32] <superm1> wilberfan, /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk
[19:32] <superm1> that should catch your crash reports
[19:32] <superm1> and offer to submit them
[19:33] <superm1> in the future (after a reboot) I believe it will be automated
[19:33] <wilberfan> ok...it just caught the last vlc crash....
[19:34] <wilberfan> can YOU run vlc, xine, ffmpeg, etc in YOUR mythtv install?
[19:35] <superm1> yes
[19:35] <superm1> in all 4 of my installs i can (and regularly do)
[19:36] <wilberfan> all those work in my other distros (including on that same box)...
[19:37] <wilberfan> just not when i'm booted into mythbuntu...
[19:37] <superm1> well lets see your bug report for the crash
[19:37] <superm1> hopefully it will be indicative
[19:37] <superm1> of whats up
[19:40] <wilberfan> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/175143
[19:40] <superm1> its marked as a security vulnerability
[19:40] <superm1> can you unmark that?
[19:40] <superm1> or subscribe me
[19:40] <superm1> either will do
[19:41] <wilberfan> i'm not sure i know how to do either!  (i'm new to this stuff!()
[19:41] <superm1> on that launchpad page on the left
[19:41] <superm1> there should be a link
[19:42] <superm1> "this is not a security vulnerability"
[19:42] <superm1> or similar
[19:43] <wilberfan> i just unchecked the 'private' box
[19:44] <wilberfan> do you want me to submit the xine one, too?
[19:44] <superm1> yes
[19:44] <superm1> it's going to take a few hours for the stack retrace service to break up your core dump
[19:44] <superm1> but once it does, we can see exactly where things were failing
[19:44] <superm1> and why
[19:44] <wilberfan> SOUNDS impressive!   ;)
[19:45] <wilberfan> now there's an ffmpeg one, too...
[19:45] <wilberfan> :)
[19:48] <wilberfan> ok...the xine one has been submitted...  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xine-ui/+bug/175144
[19:48] <sung_> so
[19:48] <sung_> have any of you noticed a big ater pausing live tv
[19:48] <wilberfan> "...a big ater..."
[19:49] <sung_> big after pausing live tv
[19:49] <sung_> and you go hit forward a couple times
[19:49] <sung_> skips 30 seconds each until you're several minutes from the end of the recorded part
[19:50] <sung_> but you can't go forward anymore
[19:50] <sung_> it's very odd
[19:57] <wilberfan> is there a way to delete watched videos (not recordings) from within the frontend?
[19:59] <szakulec> anyone able to record VHS tapes onto their mythbox?
[20:01] <wilberfan> haven't tried that yet, no....
[20:01] <wilberfan> any idea why my "tv", "videos", "music", "pictures", and "radio" buttons don't do anything on my pvr-350 remote?
[20:02] <wilberfan> "Guide" works, though...  :)
[20:19] <roberto> hi all, i'm wondering if anyone knows how to get pvr 350 output working under gutsy.
[20:20] <roberto> seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/mythtv/+bug/158562, so i enabled gutsy proposed but i don't believe I got a new xserver-xorg-video-ivtv
[20:21] <roberto> currently have 0.10.6-2. any help appreciated.
[20:24] <superm1> roberto, that part is on a ppa
[20:25] <superm1> see the forums
[20:26] <roberto> superml, thx for reply. sorry to sound dumb, but what's a ppa?
[20:26] <superm1> its an additional repository
[20:27] <superm1> for things that didnt make it into the archive in time
[20:27] <williammanda> hey guys
[20:27] <roberto> great. thx.
[20:27] <williammanda> I think I have a hard disk problem...getting this error 25: disk read error.....during boot up
[20:28] <superm1> williammanda, disk dying?
[20:28] <williammanda> maybe
[20:29] <williammanda> was trying to install gusty on another computer
[20:29] <superm1> run DFT on the sucker
[20:29] <williammanda> where can I get DFT?
[20:29] <superm1> hitachi provides it
[20:29] <superm1> google for it
[20:30] <williammanda> drive fitness test?
[20:30] <superm1> yes
[20:36] <flyingbe> Hi All, I'm having problems with CX23416 based tuner, everything else is working ok- can't get firewire to work either
[20:56] <flyingbe> 0.20.2 +fixes15 installed
[20:57] <flyingbe> on Gutsy
[20:57] <rushfan> anyone know how to use mplayer to watch tv with a pvr-150?
[20:57] <rushfan> (it uses ivtv)
[20:58] <superm1> rushfan, mplayer /dev/videoX
[20:58] <rushfan> oh ok
[20:58] <superm1> flyingbe, what happens with your tuner?
[20:59] <superm1> that breaks?
[20:59] <flyingbe> JUst doesn't work -- black scrern for a min the returns to menu
[20:59] <superm1> and how do all the logs and dmesg look?
[20:59] <flyingbe> The tuner and firewire work in XP
[21:01] <flyingbe>  ivtv0: i2c hardware 0x00000001 (cx2584x) not found for command 0xc008561c!
[21:01] <superm1> what is the tuner model?
[21:03] <flyingbe> this is a sony vaio desktop , tuner is based on cx23416 chip -- I think it is similiar to PVR150
[21:04] <flyingbe> so sony rebranded a tuner card
[21:09] <superm1> i haven't seen those working though
[21:09] <superm1> they are different enough that i've seen them fail on the 3 sony tuners i saw
[21:12] <flyingbe> the backend log  ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database.
[21:12] <rushfan> god damn time warner
[21:15] <flyingbe> I like mythtv much better than mediacenter -- what card do you recommend
[21:16] <flyingbe> I've spent too many hours trying to get this working, I wil just pick another tuner and pop it in and give it a go
[21:21] <superm1> any of the pvr-xxx cards work great
[21:21] <superm1> out of the box for sure
[21:21] <superm1> i've got a 250mce, and 500 myself
[21:22] <superm1> but the 150s work just as well
[21:27] <MythbuntuGuest98> Hi, how do I reconfigure mythweb to just download shows? some how i've made try and launch a player
[21:32] <rushfan> Linux can play HD-DVDs and Blu-rays right?
[21:36] <flyingbe> any of those dual tuner?
[21:37] <rushfan> flyingbe: any of what?
[21:37] <rushfan> PVR-150 is a single tuner
[21:37] <rushfan> Some of the PVR-xxx's are dual tuners. Just look at haupagges web-site
[21:41] <tgm4883_laptop> the PVR-500 is a dual tuner
[21:49] <KjetilK> seems like I messed up my config somewhat, can I reset it from the command line (as root)?
[22:02] <KjetilK> specifically, I managed to make a typo in the path to the recordings, thought "of course I know what I'd doing, I'll create that dir in a minute", but since I had also a typo, things went really wrong, and now I can't start the backend... :-(
[22:03] <KjetilK> and I can't find which file has that parameter...
 Hi, how do I reconfigure mythweb to just download shows? some how i've made try and launch a player
[23:23] <mpontillo> That's probably a browser configuration. Try right clicking on the show; there should be a "Save as..." of some kind.
[23:26] <MythbuntuGuest98> I did try that but, nothing happends the window just thinks... have this same issue with IE and Firefox across multiple computers
[23:28] <mpontillo> Hm. In FireFox, try Tools > Options > Content (tab) > Manage... -- see if your app is in there...
[23:30] <mpontillo> It doesn't surprise me that it "thinks" for so long though. After all, the file is probably a gigabyte or two...
