[00:13] which channel frequency table do i select if i've got a coaxial for cable TV hooked up to a HDhomerun? [00:22] hey guys [00:23] I'm having a hard disk problem....... [00:24] used hitachi ....it says I have a problem.....but no detail [00:25] can I use fdisk and a low level formating tool...if so....what would they be? [00:26] nettow0822, if DFT said you have a problem [00:26] then the drive is dying [00:26] go buy a new drive [00:27] ok.....the hitachi program wouldn't say what the problem was since the drive is a maxtor [00:27] right [00:28] but it is pretty accurate at determining when a drive is going to kick the bucket soon [00:28] ok ty [00:30] Anyone remember where the "interlace" and "overscan" (etc) options are in mythbuntu? I've seen them in the past--but must have spent half-an-hour looking for them this morning... I've been through every front and backend option... [00:30] where are they hiding?? [00:32] hit the menu key while in playback [00:32] m [00:34] really? wow. I'd NEVER have found it that way! Lemme go try it! :) [00:34] brb [00:37] hey superm1.....what would be the best route to take to solve this issue..... [00:37] nettow0822, new drive. [00:37] no...that wasn't the one I remember. The one I'm thinking of had sliders... And it was on a "blue" screen like the back- and frontend use... I specifically remember sliding the overscan sliders and watching the screen zoom in and out... [00:38] i have two snap stream RF remote controls...one on each system....they both operate on the same channel ID frequency..... [00:38] Maybe the screen i'm thinking of is only avail "first time through", or...? [00:38] snapstream was no help [00:38] is there anybody in linux that I can turn to? [00:38] nettow0822, so they conflict with ech other? [00:39] yes....one in the livingroom changes the one in the bedroom [00:39] as well as the livingroom [00:39] nettow0822, look and see if there are any parameters for the driver [00:39] at load time [00:39] odds are ther e are some that control frequency [00:39] or at least channel [00:40] at lirc? [00:41] for the lirc kernel module in use [00:47] hrmm im having trouble with the hdhomerun.. it just wont detect. i've communicated with it and upgraded the firmware but no detection. [00:48] ah just the guy i needed :) tgm4883 [00:48] ah, were you waiting for me? [00:48] well i asked a Q just before you came in. [00:48] im having trouble with the hdhomerun.. it just wont detect. i've communicated with it and upgraded the firmware but no detection. [00:48] well your probably looking for superm1 [00:49] FYI, tgm4883_laptop is here too [00:49] which is also me [00:49] i see [00:49] so where is it not detecting [00:49] kmyth, try restarting your backend [00:49] when i go to input connections to scan for channels [00:49] k [00:50] oh it doesnt scan [00:50] nvm then [00:50] thats a different area [00:50] well in that case, do you have several on your network [00:50] no just one [00:50] hmm [00:50] you followed the wiki page to set it up? [00:50] yes [00:52] it says failed to load card [00:52] programmer error, see console [00:52] dont see any errors there [00:53] can you pastebin a whole snippet [00:53] of the console out [00:53] of mythtv-setup [00:53] !pastebin | kmyth [00:53] kmyth: 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) [00:54] sure [00:56] http://pastebin.com/d7ab0da5e [00:57] kmyth, that includes your running through? [00:57] and trying to scan? [00:57] yes [00:57] let me do it again to verify [00:59] ok it produces those last two lines when i setup the parameters in capture cards [01:04] got it [01:04] it decided to work this time [01:05] i wonder what it uses to determine signal strength and noise ratio [01:05] i guess my days as a cable monkey payed off, as it's 99% and 0% [01:08] Why does mythbuntu wait for 60 seconds when trying to mount an nfs drive at boot, then say it failed, but upon inspection it turns out it's mounted just fine? [01:08] also, my frontend doesn't seem to want to log anything... [01:09] did you use the recommended mount settings? [01:10] um, I used the mount settings that have worked for me for years now. and then I went and checked for ubuntu's recommended settngs when these ones started complaining. they seem to be fine. [01:10] mythbackend:/var/lib/mythtv /var/lib/mythtv nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14 0 0 [01:10] set tcp [01:10] mythbackend:/var/lib/mythtv on /var/lib/mythtv type nfs (rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,addr=192.168.1.40) [01:11] when the system finishes booting up and I log in, I find that it has actually mounted it just fine [01:11] odd [01:11] would someone look at this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2625/ [01:11] it just slows the boot phase by 60 seconds [01:11] i'm not sure how to enable the channel [01:12] and no other host on the network has problems with this nfs share. no other host mounts it at boot, but they don't complain about mounting it [01:12] that would get annoying [01:12] and when I have to unmount and then remount the share from the frontend, it's fine [01:12] maybe set a mount line in rc.local and see if it still affects it [01:12] disable the one in fstab [01:20] kmyth: that solved it [01:20] kinda weird, that it would matter, but it did [01:20] alright, next problem: [01:20] mythfrontend doesn't want to log anything [01:21] and I want very detailed logging at times, because it's crashing when I scan my music collection and I want to know why [01:21] shrug, i'm pretty new to myth [01:25] Mersault: start mythfrontend from terminal [01:29] also, which package contains the Qt widget bits like keramilk, etc === MythbuntuGuest80 is now known as gig [01:39] Hello, I am wondering what the best way to stream livetv/recordings over the internet were [01:39] kmyth: I was completely wrong. with the mount command in rc.local, it just doesn't get mounted at all [01:40] i have a 1mbit/sec upstream that the backend server is behind, but i'd like to only use 512kbit of it [01:42] ouch [01:43] can anyone help me with an error mythtv is giving me? [01:44] Nightcrlr, you will need to disquambobulate the frontend, then restart the backend [01:46] what do you mean? this is the error i'm getting -----> "Error was encountered while displaying video" Back-end-log ---> http://www.pastebin.ca/811007 Front-end-log ---> http://www.pastebin.ca/811010 [01:46] ah [01:47] Nightcrlr, that was the best info I could give you based on the information you provided ;) [01:47] nm it, it was gibberish [01:47] in other words [01:47] !ask [01:47] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:47] so is there a free alternative to schedulesdirect? [01:48] lol i'm just happy your responed [01:48] kmyth, none that are good, unless you live outside the US [01:48] this channel was dead this morning when i came in [01:49] Nightcrlr, what tuner? [01:49] do other channels work? [01:49] why don't you just purchase sub to schedulesdirect its only 20 bucks plus it helps out the myth guys [01:50] i have digwave tunner [01:50] i'll get you the model # [01:50] i have two of them DVB-S [01:51] kmyth, seriously, the $20 is well worth it [01:51] the cards are detected and are working because i was running VDR on them before [01:51] Nightcrlr, i'm not completely sure how DVB-S works, but is it possible that the channel is now encrypted? [01:51] yeah paid for it and don't even have my mytv working [01:51] lol [01:55] tgm...help....this william [01:55] my 2 DVB-S cards are Digiwave 103G [01:57] nettow0822, whats up? [01:57] Nightcrlr, i'm not completely sure how DVB-S works, but is it possible that the channel is now encrypted? [01:58] I have two of the same remote controls....snapstream firefly RF..... [01:58] if the channel is encrypted is that the error i should get, because it just kicks me out of live tv [01:59] they both operate on the same channel frequency..... [01:59] I'm trying to set them on different frequencies [02:00] Nightcrlr, I believe so, it's trying to get the channel, but only getting scrambled data, which is screwing it up [02:00] i may have found info to do that but I need alittle help [02:01] read this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2626/ [02:02] is there Mythtv channel for user that have dvb-s setups? [02:02] Nightcrlr, well you could try here with someone that has dvb-s [02:02] or you could try in #mythtv-users [02:03] nettow0822, ok, so whats the question? [02:04] it looks like I need to load a command with the lirc module is loaded [02:04] # Loading the lirc_atiusb driver with "unique=1,mask=0x10" makes it recognize only ID 5 [02:04] i've tryed mythtv-user but no one has answered me [02:04] i'm not sure how to do this [02:05] nettow0822, are you still in mythtv-user? [02:05] nope [02:05] err [02:05] Nightcrlr, are you still in mythtv-users? [02:05] i can be [02:05] yeah [02:05] foxbuntu, ping [02:05] tgm4883hey [02:06] tgm4883 hey* [02:06] how are you? [02:06] do you know how to # Loading the lirc_atiusb driver with "unique=1,mask=0x10" makes it recognize only ID 5 [02:06] In mythbuntu will it work with a FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus? [02:07] tgm4883 ID 5 of what? [02:07] and can I select Composite input rather than the antenna? [02:07] foxbuntu see this post http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2626/ [02:07] Nightcrlr, where do you live? [02:08] I'm in Toronto, Canada [02:08] tgm4883, agreed. [02:08] hmm [02:09] tgm4883, yeah that is a kernel driver mask to give a specific lirc supported remote thus telliing it which part of the lircd.conf to use [02:09] i want to say that Daviey has DVB-S, but he's asleep now [02:09] foxbuntu, right [02:09] but how to do that from a mythbuntu install [02:09] select the name of the remote [02:09] should be in MLG, unless it was added to lirc recently [02:10] Nightcrlr, i'd say stick around in here for awhile, Daviey is in the UK so it's 2:00 AM there [02:10] I havent finished building the new version of MLG to support all the new remotes added to lirc [02:10] foxbuntu, @ nettow0822 [02:10] nettow0822, ^^ [02:11] ok i've been in this channel and mythtv-user since 4am est [02:11] so it is not something I can add to hardware.conf? [02:11] nettow0822, lI am pretty sure that remote is supported by mythbuntu-lircrc-generator, however if it is not, please, and I stress, please file a bug against it so we (I) can track and fix it [02:12] Nightcrlr, ah, but did you ask your question? [02:12] the remote I'm using is snapstream firefly RF remote......it does work.... [02:12] nettow0822, that is where you can add it...if you want to set the remote up outside of mlg you are welcome too...mlg just dose the hard stuff [02:12] mythy, did you check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Gutsy/Tuners [02:13] the problem is that I have two remotes...one for each computer.....they both operate on the same channel ID [02:13] nettow0822, I am pretty sure you can select it via Mythbuntu-Control-Centre under remotes [02:13] nettow0822, oh I gotcha [02:13] missed the problem [02:14] and I assume they are close to each other [02:14] i see [02:14] yeah i did a few times but i don't want to annoy everyone if i'm not getting a answer [02:14] nettow0822, do this [02:14] foxbuntu within 40 feet of each other......one in bedroom...other in livingroom [02:14] on the one add the changes to hardware.conf (options for lirc) [02:14] Nightcrlr well i'll send a note to Daviey about that, hopefully he will see it in the morning [02:14] then reload lirc [02:14] apparently all Fusion HDTV Tuners work [02:15] but can I get it to switch input to composite input [02:15] did you get my pastebin links? [02:15] copy and paste the pretiant part of the lircd.conf into /etc/lirc/lircd.conf [02:15] reload lirc again [02:15] rather than Antenna (DVB) [02:15] mythy, thats interesting, this seems to contradict that DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Hybrid is broken in Gutsy - Will not tune correctly (Was working in 6.10) -The device shows up, but cannot get tuner to tune [02:15] foxbuntu.....is this right? MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask=0x10" [02:16] then finally do a sudo mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [02:16] nettow0822, no [02:16] I have DVB-T Plus [02:16] not Hyrbid [02:16] nettow0822, hold on let me get the correct syntax for you [02:16] ok [02:16] Nightcrlr, yep, i just made the note [02:16] I don't care so much for watching TV, rather I want to use the composite input into my card [02:17] I have a device outside my PC [02:17] mythy, all i can say is try it, i believe it will work [02:17] thank you [02:17] that feeds composite in [02:17] ok thanks [02:17] I'll try :) [02:17] mythy, just remember to set it up in mythtv setup to use composite [02:17] I tried installing mythTV on ubuntu but MySQL wouldn't work, and it said that user root isn't allowed to stop the backend services [02:18] I mean I can log into mysql, but I think backend stops you [02:18] (the myth config program) [02:18] MODULES="lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask=0x10" [02:18] nettow0822, ^^ i think thats right [02:20] nettow0822, sorry I have to run but will be back later on tonight [02:22] does mythbuntu come with nvidia drivers? [02:22] I mean, do I have to enable them? [02:51] yo #ubuntu-mythtv [02:52] what build of mythtv is the current stable release using? [02:53] hello [02:53] anybody on? I am trying to install MythBuntu and was wondering if I could ask some questions. [02:54] you can ask, not sure I can answer [02:55] I dont know what I need to do. I am just using this computer as a backend. Do I need to set anything up in the livecd before I install? I do not have the frontend up yet... do I need to set that up first? [02:56] The_Rebel: 0.20.2 [02:56] backend first [02:56] okay thanks, rhpot1991 [02:56] is the backend on the same machine, or a different one? [02:56] is there anyway i can get my hands on a build with 0.20.0? [02:56] why would you want to? [02:57] you need 0.20.2 for SD [02:57] otherwise you can't get listings [02:57] what if i dont care about SD? [02:57] well there are other fixes too [02:57] its not like you need to use SD with it [02:58] I just want the backend on this computer... the frontend will be going on an appletv [02:58] good luck with that [02:58] exactly, anyways is there a way to downgrade to .20 or maybe there's an older build floating around [02:58] has the install on there become any easier? [02:58] might be [02:58] I don't know where to look though [02:59] The_Rebel, is there a reason for you wanting 20.0? [02:59] its fairly simple to setup the appletv now [02:59] http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/MythTV [02:59] i found a north american DVB patch set [02:59] but its for myth .20 [02:59] ah [02:59] I am installing from the 20.2 image.... should I be using 20 instead? [02:59] is there something wrong with using 20.2? [02:59] josiahw_, no, use 20.2 [03:00] The_Rebel, sec [03:00] kk [03:00] The_Rebel: are you certain it wont work with 20.2? [03:00] ok... so anyway. Do I need to do anything from the live cd before installing mythbuntu? [03:01] no.. but for stability reasons, im trying to keep things as clean as possible [03:01] The_Rebel, well the thing is, the only thing i can find is the edgy version here [03:01] http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/graphics/mythtv [03:02] thanks, i'll check her out [03:02] tgm4883 I thought SD happened before edgy was gone [03:02] rhpot1991, it did [03:02] but you have to remember how ubuntu works [03:03] I was about to past the link to those, but I thought they were also .20.2 [03:03] Do I need to do anything in the Mythbuntu control center before installing mythbuntu? [03:03] packages don't get updated, once the repo is frozen, it is frozen [03:03] then, newer versions go into -backports [03:03] ah ok [03:05] back [03:06] so if i went with edgy and installed mythtv from there i should be using 0.20.0? [03:07] The_Rebel, well you would, but you would obviously lose the support that is built into feisty and gutsy [03:07] and obviously support would run out earlier [03:07] and you would have less of a chance for support here [03:08] is SD free? [03:09] $20/year [03:09] thats a bit pricey for raw data [03:09] not really [03:10] it's pretty good data [03:10] i'd pay that much for non-raw data, but raw data! pfft forget about it [03:10] you wouldn't pay < $2/month? [03:11] i could feed a couple of Chinese kids with that kinda dough [03:11] dude, whatever floats your boat [03:12] ha im just screwin with ya, but in all seriousness thanks for the help [03:12] i best think this over [03:12] hey tgm4883 [03:13] when I add this to the hardware.conf ....MODULES="lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask=0x10" [03:13] lirc won't start [03:14] The_Rebel: write your own scraper if you don't like it, thats about your only other choice [03:15] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2627/ [03:15] nah i'd pay for SD, thinking about what version of mythtv/ubuntu is right for me [03:15] gonna have to do some more research on the subject [03:19] is it easy to update to a SVN version of myth with MB? (mythbuntu) [03:19] there are repos listed on the mythbuntu site [03:20] http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds [03:21] tgm4883: any idea if there is any way I can cause a script to run when someone starts watching a recording? [03:22] rhpot1991, probably [03:22] any idea, I looked around in the menus, no options [03:22] I searched the user mailing list for a while today, didn't see anything [03:22] oh no, you're probably going to have to hack something to do that [03:23] I'm looking to make a script run to check how many commercials were flagged and then alert via mythosd if it doesn't match for certain shows [03:23] I'm not locked on mythosd, but that seemed to be the best way to go about it [03:26] are the menu's hackable or are they something precompiled? [03:26] well you can change the menus [03:27] I was looking for something that wont get overwritten by an update [03:46] on a mythbuntu backend would i have any need for the silicon dust hdhomerun configuration utility? [03:46] and should I install xmltv guide data provider... even if i am in north america [03:50] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2628/ [03:51] tgn4883 is this the right syntax for this command in hardware.conf.... [03:52] MODULES="lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask=0x10" [03:53] do i have to have cable or satelite tv to setup mythtv? I dont have that yet but will later... i am wanting to setup mythtv at the moment for other reasons [03:54] anybody? [03:54] josiahw_, no [03:55] foxbuntu: thank you [03:56] foxbuntu...you back [03:56] nettow0822_, perhaps :) [03:56] lol [03:56] nettow0822_, so what did you figure out? === Mersault_ is now known as Mersault [03:56] I put this line in hardware.conf... MODULES="lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask=0x10" [03:56] and lirc will not start [03:57] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2627/ [03:58] here is some more info.... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2628/ [03:59] yet more info.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2626/ [04:00] nettow0822_, give me a few to catch up to you here [04:00] sure [04:01] i found update patch sets for the latest SVN [04:01] that should do it [04:05] nettow0822_, sorry I had you set that in the wron location [04:05] pull those settings back out of the hardware.conf [04:05] instead [04:05] do I want to use NTSC as my TV format if im in America with a HDTV using HDMI? [04:05] nettow0822_, we need to add them into /etc/modules.conf [04:06] josiahw_, NTSC is SD TV [04:06] ATSC is HD [04:06] but if ATSC isn't in the list pick NTSC [04:06] thank you again :)... should I set up a VBI format or just leave it as none? [04:07] leave it as none [04:07] nettow0822_, do you have changes to the hardware.conf made? [04:07] I am using satelite tv.... do I want to choose us-bcast for channel frequency table? [04:08] yes hardware.conf changed back [04:08] josiahw_, I tihnk there is a us-sat or something...if not pick cable [04:08] nettow0822_, ok [04:08] nettow0822_, $ sudo nano /etc/modules.conf [04:09] ok [04:09] oops [04:10] no .conf [04:10] just [04:10] $ sudo nano /etc/modules [04:10] ok [04:10] us-cable-hrs, us-cable-irc or us-cable? [04:10] josiahw_, us-cable [04:11] nettow0822_, ok add this: Options lirc_atiusb mask = 0x0010 [04:12] josiahw_, I think this should make the kernel module load with that (at least thats the doc I found) [04:12] er nettow0822_ ^^ [04:12] nettow0822_, reboot after you save that and check back with me after [04:13] ok [04:13] Options lirc_atiusb mask = 0x0010 or this Options lirc_atiusb unique=1,mask = 0x0010 [04:14] unique is suppose to allow for differnet channels right? [04:14] mask sets the channel [04:14] nettow0822_, right...sorry [04:15] ok [04:22] hey, I try to watch TV but mythtv frontend says: MythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel you selected. If you want to watch an in-progress recording, select one from the playback menu. If you want to watch live tv, cancel one of the in-progress recordings from the delete menu. I have composite set as input, but I can't see my Wii screen... [04:22] it says no channels.conf found [04:23] but I want to play wii through the composite [04:23] back [04:24] nettow0822, anyluck? [04:24] foxbuntu how can I monitor the change...other than the remote? [04:24] nettow0822, the remote is the easiest? [04:24] -? [04:25] well both remotes still work [04:25] one remote is set to channel 5 the other is channel 8 [04:25] thats what you were looking for then right? [04:26] only one remote work with one computer.....both remotes still work on this computer [04:26] nettow0822, well to an extent they will..due to the remote signals being similar [04:27] my understanding is that the process we just went through should have separated the remotes [04:28] post your lircd then [04:29] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2629/ [04:59] I just made a test lircd.conf... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2630/ [04:59] both of them still work on the same computer [05:02] nettow0822, prob becuase they both send the same ir hex codes [05:03] well the remote has the ability to be setup on 16 different channels and... [05:04] the lirc module also has the ability to be setup to the corresponding channel.... [05:05] thus I should be able setup both remotes to operate independently from each other [05:06] but on the different ir channels does the remote actually produce different hex codes [05:06]
