| nwidger | if i want to customize the lirc button mappings for my remote, what should i do? | 00:23 |

| solarbaby | tazgodx: in about a year from now fireware is going to quadroople in speed | 01:31 |
| solarbaby | tazgodx: its expected to be fast enough for HD | 01:31 |
| tgm4883 | whats fireware? | 01:32 |
| solarbaby | Firewire | 01:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | isn't firewire already fast enough for HD? | 01:32 |
| solarbaby | I doubt it | 01:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats strange, i was under the impression that I could stream HD over cat5e | 01:33 |
| solarbaby | I have no real experience with it | 01:33 |
| solarbaby | but I do know it will quadroople in speed, and thats good news | 01:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I was also under the impression that HD could be streamed via firewire from a cable box | 01:34 |
| solarbaby | read this about firewire if your interested | 01:35 |
| solarbaby | http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-6223102.html?tag=nl.e550 | 01:35 |
| solarbaby | you may be correct.. | 01:35 |
| solarbaby | I really hadn't played around with it.. but in about a year I sure will | 01:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I hope im correct, otherwise my mythtv setup is defying technology | 01:36 |
| solarbaby | in that case, you already know your correct | 01:36 |
| solarbaby | hopefully the next myth server I build will be HD capable.. | 01:37 |
| solarbaby | I'd love my myth server to be the size of a pack of cigerettes, with a firewire hub | 01:38 |
| solarbaby | and HD capable | 01:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well, you really should build the frontends capable | 01:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | as most backends are already capable of some form of HD | 01:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and while not as small as a pack of cigerettes, the via's are pretty small and HD ready | 01:39 |
| solarbaby | im using a Hauppauge 350, that for sure wouldn't be HD capable for recording | 01:39 |
| solarbaby | via would be a great way to go | 01:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea, an HDHomerun would be better :) | 01:40 |
| solarbaby | I could settle for a myth server the size of a cartoon of smokes | 01:40 |
| solarbaby | carton | 01:41 |
| solarbaby | I really am having a hard time spelling today | 01:41 |
| solarbaby | must be the holiday jitters | 01:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wtf, my master backend is totally screwed | 02:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that was pretty strange | 02:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | looks all fixed now | 02:44 |
| tazgodx | hmm | 04:21 |
| tazgodx | whenever im in here im alone lately | 04:21 |
| tazgodx | ok so i have my firewire set up to control my STB, and it all works. but when i go to watch that tuner, i jsut see a black screen and then it kicks me back to the menu. | 04:29 |
| tazgodx | when i first set it up, and turned to that tuner it showed me video of what was on, so i know it was somewhat working | 04:29 |
| tazgodx | but when i went to change channel it did this | 04:29 |
| tazgodx | and now won't do anything but this | 04:29 |
| tazgodx | any ideas? | 04:30 |
| javatexan | howdy all | 06:32 |
| GWillakers | I just upgraded my myth box and I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the font sizes right... the EPG descriptions are so small I can hardly see them (the column headings are normal). Anyone run up against this before? | 06:33 |
| javatexan | I have a question for all you seasoned guys with mythtv. What is the 'best', i know this is a loose term format to convert movies and tv programs into for storage. in a storage-friendly way without terrible pixelation etc | 06:33 |
| javatexan | seems like the stuff I am trying plays back terrible....mpeg4 mainly is what I've been trying | 06:34 |
| javatexan | it plays back fine in mpeg format tho.... | 06:35 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 08:49 |
| nettow0822 | tgm4883 you here? | 16:48 |
| nettow0822 | foxbuntu...did you see the fix I found for the snapstream remote channel id? | 17:00 |
| foxbuntu | nettow0822, yes...good work | 17:02 |
| nettow0822 | so it looked ok to you? | 17:02 |
| foxbuntu | I am actually working on a GUI Interface for remote mapping and config...I will try to add that as well | 17:02 |
| nettow0822 | ok ty | 17:02 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 17:43 |
| MilhousePunkRock | How much of this http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI do I still need to do to have my Nova-T 500 fully working? | 17:43 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: you need to wget the firmware for some of the 500's stil yes | 17:48 |
| Daviey | pretty painless.. just wget it and shove it in the firmware folder | 17:48 |
| Daviey | Although i have heard of some problems with the IR reciever still not working, i'd love to hear how it goes with you | 17:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: Well, I got the firmware from here already, http://www.omskakas.se/2007/01/howto-hauppauge-nova-t-500-pci-under-linux.html | 17:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | And in fact, my IR receiver is not working, it does not even seem to be recognised | 17:51 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: thats not the most recent one | 17:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | I wonder if that is because of the firmware I use, the blog author mentiones he does not use the remote/receiver | 17:51 |
| Daviey | the most recent is from ~Sept this year | 17:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: From when is the firmware mentioned on the wiki? | 17:52 |
| Daviey | http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/linux-dvb-firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw <- i belive that is the most recent | 17:53 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: OK, time for a change... Turning on the amplifier as mentioned on the wiki reduced the bit erros to 0, by the way | 17:54 |
| Daviey | cool | 17:55 |
| Daviey | let me know how you get on with that firmware | 17:55 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: "dmesg | grep input" is your friend btw | 17:55 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: I've gone through dmesg completely, no sign of the IR receiver | 17:56 |
| Daviey | after that firmware from above ^? | 17:56 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Now I wonder why the resolution of MythTV now is lower than it should be... Note to self: Change one thing at a time ;) | 17:57 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: Right now I use the firmware from the blog, that will change in a few moments though | 17:57 |
| Daviey | change it now, and reboot to be sure - do it now, you know you should | 17:58 |
| Daviey | come on charlie | 17:58 |
| MilhousePunkRock | lol | 17:58 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: ? | 18:02 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hang on | 18:03 |
| Daviey | tick tock | 18:03 |
| MilhousePunkRock | rebooting now | 18:04 |
| Daviey | Okay, should be up now - how's the dmesg? | 18:07 |
| MilhousePunkRock | No sign of the IR receiver | 18:11 |
| MilhousePunkRock | :( | 18:11 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: bah, let me know what you find out - where did you buy it out of interest? | 18:17 |
| MilhousePunkRock | seems like the card needs to be in cold state for the other firmware to be loaded | 18:18 |
| MilhousePunkRock | ebay... Is supposed to be used only for testing purposes, remote, ir receiver and batteries were still sealed | 18:18 |
| Daviey | ah, good point! | 18:20 |
| pdragon | For video input to a TV, would the regular VGA port be better or worse than Component video? | 18:21 |
| Daviey | better | 18:21 |
| pdragon | TV actually has a VGA port | 18:21 |
| Daviey | DVI/HDMI > VGA > Component | 18:21 |
| pdragon | cool, thanks! | 18:21 |
| pdragon | yeah, doesn't have DVI port. Has HDMI, but dont have a video card with one of those connectors | 18:22 |
| pdragon | think onboard video on the motherboard would be good enough for HD, or still get an inexpensive video card? | 18:23 |
| Daviey | pdragon: HDMI = DVI + sound | 18:23 |
| pdragon | yeah i know | 18:23 |
| Daviey | ebay has some cheapo DVI to HDMI converter cables | 18:23 |
| pdragon | how would the sound go in with one of them? | 18:24 |
| Daviey | doesn't | 18:24 |
| pdragon | ok | 18:24 |
| Daviey | i used to use dvi -> hdmi cable with seperate amo | 18:24 |
| Daviey | amp* | 18:24 |
| pdragon | cool. this is for my parents. they just have an HD LCD TV. no stereo | 18:25 |
| pdragon | tv has a PC audio connector on it, tho | 18:25 |
| Daviey | that might work, what model tv? | 18:25 |
| Daviey | PC audio connector with DVI/HDMI cable worked on mine - but no promise | 18:26 |
| pdragon | Sony Bravia | 18:26 |
| pdragon | think I'd need a video card or would the onboard video be good enough? | 18:27 |
| pdragon | they may get an HDHomerun at some point, but aren't for now | 18:27 |
| pdragon | so, just Standard TV right now, with possibility of HD | 18:27 |
| Daviey | hard to say, sorry | 18:29 |
| Daviey | don't touch ATI tho (IMO) | 18:29 |
| pdragon | oh i know | 18:30 |
| pdragon | /qhttp://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814125041 | 18:31 |
| pdragon | woops | 18:31 |
| pdragon | http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814125041 | 18:31 |
| pdragon | that's what i've got planned right now | 18:31 |
| Daviey | you could look into cards with HDMI on.. but the audio driver for many of them is currently borked | 18:33 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: There was a typo in my cp line, the new firmware never got where it belongs... ;) | 18:34 |
| tgm4883 | pdragon, what onboard video? | 18:34 |
| tgm4883 | heh, i have that exact video card on my desktop | 18:35 |
| pdragon | http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813121319 | 18:35 |
| pdragon | that motherboard | 18:35 |
| * tgm4883 shrugs | 18:35 | |
| tgm4883 | I use an onboard nvidia 6200 | 18:35 |
| tgm4883 | and it plays HD just fine | 18:36 |
| pdragon | cool | 18:36 |
| tgm4883 | wouldn't hurt to try it | 18:36 |
| tgm4883 | also, you might be able to get that video card intown for about the same price. I paid about $45 for mine in town about 10 months ago | 18:37 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: it now works? | 18:38 |
| tgm4883 | anyone have a hvr-950 picking up HD? | 18:38 |
| tgm4883 | heh, i'll take that as no | 18:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | The wiki is a bit imprecise, cp <firmwarefile> /lib/firmware is not sufficient, since the version at the end is then not the file the kernel wants to load... I fixed it now and the reboot is almost done | 18:41 |
| Daviey | sudo cp dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/ | 18:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | The .10 is wrong | 18:41 |
| Daviey | ah | 18:42 |
| MilhousePunkRock | And I thought it was supposed to go into /lib/firmware only, without the kernel folder | 18:42 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: so, sudo cp dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw | 18:43 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: And another reboot | 18:44 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: cremove the power for a few mins | 18:44 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Will do if it does not work now, technically the card should be "cold" since the last two reboots the firmware was not in place | 18:45 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: dmesg will tell you if it is col or warm following a reboot | 18:46 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: I prefer removing the power cable and pressing the power button until I hear a little hissing sound (probably some transistors, resistors, whatever getting rid of the last volts) | 18:46 |
| Daviey | you could test it with your tongue? | 18:47 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hehe | 18:47 |
| MilhousePunkRock | well, firmware loads fine now, TV works, but still no sign of the remote receiver | 18:48 |
| Daviey | awwww | 18:51 |
| Daviey | dmesg grep.. showed nothing? | 18:51 |
| Daviey | Don't know if upgrading v4l-dvb would help | 18:52 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: Well, more on that tomorrow... Dinner's almost ready... | 18:59 |
| Daviey | MilhousePunkRock: okay, let me know if you have success | 18:59 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daviey: Will do... See you tomorrow... | 19:00 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Have a nice evening everyone! | 19:00 |
| Daviey | tgm4883: are you using the binary drivers for your graphics card? | 19:11 |
| rinaldi_ | i am currently installing mthbuntu 7.10 and i selected standard settings to configure the backend, i have a hauppuage nova-t dvb-t cx8800, does anyone know which card type i should be selecting in capture card settings? i have tried all of the options and nothing seems to find any channels. im still running the live cd. any ideas? | 19:30 |
| Daviey | rinaldi_: DVB | 19:34 |
| Daviey | rinaldi_: is it the nova 500 per chance? | 19:34 |
| rinaldi_ | daviey: no its the cx8800, well at least thats what it says when the video device is /dev/video0 | 19:35 |
| rinaldi_ | daviey: il try dvb again then | 19:35 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: should i need to configure things like "dvb card number" or "signal timeout"? | 19:38 |
| Daviey | yes | 19:38 |
| Daviey | probably card "0" | 19:39 |
| Daviey | signal timeout leave | 19:39 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: yeh thats already there, and the timeout is already 1000. and the tuninng timeout is 3000 | 19:39 |
| Daviey | rinaldi_: if you can't get it working, try something like gxine or vlc as video players and see if it works outside myth | 19:39 |
| Daviey | when you select the device it should state the model in card setup | 19:40 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: in the Frontend ID is says Could not open card #0 Subtype: No such file or directory | 19:41 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: sould i try vlc through the livecd? | 19:42 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: i tried through vlc and xine as dvb and it says it can't find it | 19:50 |
| Daviey | hmm | 19:51 |
| Daviey | Ah, are you currently in the livecd? | 19:51 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: yes well it hasnt asked me for reboot so i continued setup, should i go through hardrive? | 19:52 |
| === Sphagnum is now known as Tari | ||
| Daviey | rinaldi_: yeah, i would just carry on and sort it once installed | 19:53 |
| rinaldi_ | Daviey: wow, never realised the livecd wouldnt have the same functionality, its found the card and its scanning. thanks, though i would have come across it eventually! | 20:01 |
| rxbandit | alright guys got a mythbuntu problem | 20:32 |
| rxbandit | tried two diffent iso's now | 20:32 |
| rxbandit | i can't run mythtv-setup after i install | 20:32 |
| rxbandit | running mythtv-setup.real produces a Segmentation fault(core dumped) | 20:32 |
| rxbandit | what gives? | 20:32 |
| nettow0822_ | tgm4883 are you here? | 21:29 |
| nettow0822_ | tgm4883 you there? | 22:37 |
| nettow0822_ | can anyone answer a question in setting up apcie tuner card? | 22:45 |
| nettow0822_ | i updated the linuxtv drvers which included the card I have...dvico fusion hdtv 5 express | 22:47 |
| nettow0822_ | the sys log see the card ok but mythtv doesn't | 22:48 |
| nettow0822_ | I have the pci version of the fusion card already installed and it is functioning ok | 22:48 |
| nettow0822_ | myth backend doesn't see it correctly....when i setup a new dvb...it sees the other pci fusion card | 22:50 |
| nettow0822_ | so I can't run both at th same time | 22:50 |
| nettow0822_ | I can remove the pci tuner and just use the pcie card fine but not both together | 22:51 |
| levander | Should the Mythbuntu LiveCD work when your graphics card is hooked up to its monitor via TV out? | 23:55 |
| levander | Damn, there's no documentation for GDM whatsoever. | 23:58 |
