[13:49] <cosmic_> Hi @ ALL
[13:51] <cosmic_> Is here anyone who would be so kind to support me with getting Mythfrontend run on a client system !? : What i have done ... install of mysql - client package + mythfrontend ... configured mythfrontend.... wenn i start it starts correctly . but tells me the backend is not startet ... but the bacjend on the server runs correctly
[13:52] <cosmic_> sorry for my bad english
[13:53] <directhex> mythtv requires a single mysql instance, shared by all backends and frontends
[13:54] <cosmic_> i have ONE MySql Database on the server + Frontend + Backend ..... On my Client there is only frontend and sql client package
[13:55] <directhex> is your backend listening on a proper IP, or on 127.0.0.1?
[13:55] <cosmic_> oh
[13:55] <directhex> let me find a screenshot
[13:55] <cosmic_> oh oh .... i have to see ...
[13:55] <cosmic_> lol
[13:55] <cosmic_> let me chack , thx
[13:55] <cosmic_> check
[13:55] <directhex> http://img.hexus.net/v2/articles/MythTV/myth-03.jpg
[13:57] <cosmic_> i changed it , but it still doesnt work
[14:02] <cosmic_> directhex: now it works SUPER THANKS for support
[14:02] <cosmic_> but why cant i see the other media like Video and Fotos on the client frontend ?
[14:03] <directhex> cosmic_, you need to mount that folder to local disk, via nfs, to EXACTLY the same place as it is on the other machine
[14:03] <directhex> cosmic_, i know, it's a pain
[14:03] <cosmic_> no
[14:04] <cosmic_> no pain , but bad documentation in my opinion (i dont mean the listening IP , thats was my dumpness ;) )
[14:05] <cosmic_> or my idiotism
[14:05] <cosmic_> :=)
[14:05] <directhex> well, you can mount to a non-identical location, but you can't share metadata
[14:05] <cosmic_> ok , understood
[14:06] <cosmic_> VideoOutputXv Error: Could not find suitable XVideo surface.
[14:06] <cosmic_> ????
[14:07] <directhex> video driver issue. ati?
[14:07] <cosmic_> i think so
[14:07] <cosmic_> do i need hardware rendering ?
[14:07] <cosmic_> forget the question
[14:07] <cosmic_> i go an configure
[14:07] <directhex> you need a working Xv surface
[14:07] <directhex> which is basically "overlay" on windows
[14:08] <directhex> i think there's a workaround if you set the environment variable NO_XV to 1 before running the frontend, but it'll eat your cpu for breakfast without it
[14:10] <cosmic_> I dont understand , how do i get an working Xv surface ? what is it ?
[14:10] <cosmic_> directhex would you be so kind to explain ?
[14:11] <directhex> it's a basic video driver capability
[14:11] <cosmic_> and its not supported for ati ?
[14:12] <directhex> not properly in many cases
[14:13] <cosmic_> could it depend on the driver for my card ?
[14:13] <directhex> yes, very much so
[14:14] <cosmic_> do you use ATI ? i have nvidia on server for the frontend
[14:14] <cosmic_> there is all fine
[14:14] <directhex> i haven't bought ati for years, because they work badly in linux
[14:14] <cosmic_> i know
[14:15] <cosmic_> but i thought it would be fine on my laptop
[14:15] <cosmic_> :(
[14:15] <directhex> back soon, making lunch
[14:15] <cosmic_> directhex: thx
[14:15] <cosmic_> bye
[14:22] <cosmic_> CU @ ALL
[14:30] <sebrock> I'm trying to access my mythtv-setup (backend) though a VNC connection. But everytime I try to launch it it complains about not beeing part of the group (which I clearly am)
[14:30] <sebrock> any clues?
[14:31] <sebrock> on the backend there is no graphic card or monitor at all
[14:32] <sebrock> also complains about no running KDM/Gnome/Xfce
[15:07] <techqbert> mythdora's channel is empty.  mythdora looks nicer but if this is the case, I might end up using mythbuntu as my backend
[15:38] <techqbert> can I change mythtv theme to retro?
[18:41] <DaveMorris> techqbert yeah you can
[18:42] <DaveMorris> sebrock try ssh into the box wiht ssh -X to forward the X back,
[18:43] <sebrock> how do I add a record by record name in mythmusic? As of now If I got a record with various artists I have to look them all up manually??
[18:44] <DaveMorris> I assume it's done using the the ID3 tags in the MP3's, maybe setting those the the record album name
[18:49] <sebrock> already done, but I find no way to sort it by record
[18:54] <sebrock> HONSESTLY WTF!!!
[21:04] <blizzow> Anyone alive in here?
[21:07] <blizzow> Do I still need to patch the cx88-alsa driver to get audio over NTSC using a pchdtv 5500 card?
[21:11] <blizzow> anybody?
[21:12] <Dr_willis> Huh?
[21:13] <blizzow> I'm looking for some info on getting a pchdtv 5500 card to work with ubuntu and mythtv.
[21:13] <blizzow> Specifically, sound does not come in on NTSC channels.
[21:13] <Dr_willis> Theres the various Mythtv and Mythubuntu forums you may want to check.
[21:14] <Dr_willis> I just got a little  pvr150 card here.
[21:14] <blizzow> what other forums do you check.  The pchdtv site is shit.
[21:16] <toorima> i have the pchdtv5500 card with mythbuntu and it works perfect oob
[21:16] <toorima> i just use it for hd tho, have a pvr150 for sd
[21:17] <Dr_willis> that implies theres some sort of soundcard/mixer setting may be the cause of blizzow 's problem.
[21:17] <Dr_willis> But this is all out of my league. :) i just have a SD card.
[21:17] <toorima> well the pvr1150 is a good card
[21:17] <blizzow> Dr_willis: I've tried cranking all settings on the alsamixer and no dice.
[21:18] <blizzow> toorima: how's the picture quality for you?
[21:18] <toorima> very good
[21:18] <toorima> have it on a 42" plasma and its good
[21:19] <toorima> are u trying to output ac3 or something?
[21:19] <toorima> that can be a bit tricky but sounds great when u get it to work
[21:19] <blizzow> nope, just trying to get a decent picture on my computer screen and using standard audio.
[21:20] <toorima> so cool to watch football with surround, like being at the stadium
[21:20] <blizzow> I'm pretty pissed at the pchdtv guys for how crappy their documentation is.
[21:24] <toorima> well the card should work out of the box with mythbuntu, do u have sound from other things?
[21:24] <blizzow> Sound is great from everything else.
[21:24] <blizzow> It's only the SD ntsc format that's giving me trouble.
[21:25] <toorima> ah so u have sound with its hd module?
[21:25] <toorima> haven't even tried the sd part of the card, sorry
[21:28] <blizzow> yeah.  there is a little bit in the pchdtv forum about patching the cx88_alsa.c and cx88_tvaudio.c files.  The patch they have for the cx88_tvaudio.c file doesn't apply and I'm having trouble when recompiling the cx88_alsa module.
[23:43] <wweasel> I just installed Mythbuntu on my PC, it booted up fine once, and now it seems to boot but as soon as it would display XFCE video output turns off (splash screen shows). I have a hypothesis:
[23:44] <wweasel> I believe it's because I set my video drivers wrong. Using a GeForce 6150, I set it to output on composite, should be S-Video (the 6150 doesn't have a composite out).
[23:44] <wweasel> ATM I'm in the livecd environment and I could chroot in and fix it. I just don't know how to go about fixing the problem.
[23:47] <wweasel> Anyone here who can help?
