Its just i have a hauppauge ir remote control for my dvb card. I set it up but when i go to map the buttons it ony detects the up/down/left/right/ ok/ number buttons. i was wandering if there was any way to enable use of the fastforward/rewind or channel up/down buttons? === tritium_ is now known as tritium [15:50] How goes [15:50] anyone have ePSXe running in mythgame? [15:55] Not me. [15:55] actually I think my MythGame stuff is totally empty. === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [18:46] Hi running into an issue with my serial ports and the change channel script. After several crashes the port begins to timeout when the script is called. It also happens if i manually call it from the command line. The script is enabled and the ports are not busy. It works fine for a while then starts timing out. If I touch the port or use for instance dtvcontrol from another laptop it works fine. Then it will work [18:46] s one time in myth and then lockup. Anyone have any clues before I reinstall? [18:49] howdie folks [18:49] mythtv to linuxmce convert, now converting back to mythtv via mythbuntu [18:49] hey savageone1 [18:50] my question: I'm reading about the upgrade process... Is it as easy as it looks? My beef has always been updating to a new version has been ridiculous w/ knoppmyth and the like [18:50] savageone1: thats why i moved to ubuntumyth too [18:50] also, it looks as though I could install a full gnome environment, but will that effect my upgrades... It says on the site "The upgrade procedure will only upgrade Mythbuntu packages if you don't have a gnome or kde desktop installed." [18:50] alex: I mean, linuxmce is amazing, but it's just not there yet [18:51] savageone its very easy to install mythbuntu [18:51] and the community is ridiculous, bunch of people arguing in the channel etc. hard to get help, hard to pitch ideas [18:51] alex: I've installed it before, but just to check it out never used it a lot [18:51] and the upgrade is just like if you upgrade ubuntu just enable the repos [18:51] I'm not so worry about ease, I am savvy, it's just I don't want a to be fucking w/ it all the time know what I mean? [18:51] yeah well sorry but myth is myth [18:52] no matter what distribution [18:52] true true [18:52] good thing about mythbuntu is its based on debian which is the same for knoppmyth and linuxmce [18:52] if I were to do the mythtv updates via apt-get, does that break the system [18:52] so that made the commands and logs [18:52] no [18:52] since it appears there's some additional stuff mythbuntu did to make things easy [18:52] knoppmyth it would [18:52] yes [18:52] yup, knoppmyth is a pig ;) [18:52] i used it for a year [18:53] it's easy as pie, but it's friggin knoppix so what do you want haha [18:53] So here is the skinny. Mythbuntu still has some warts [18:53] knoppmyth probably a little more mature [18:53] tell me about them [18:53] I'm not above beta testing hehe [18:53] does mythbuntu have the newest mythtv running [18:53] what I'm looking for is ubuntu and mythtv, I'm a ubuntu man [18:54] ok so if you run pchdtv cards they have a bug that when you do the install you cant do channel scan until next reboot. its like the backend is not started [18:54] so if this is just that minus the full process of instlaling ubuntu and then mythtv, I'm game [18:54] yep [18:54] that's not so bad [18:54] what else [18:54] gimme the worst ;) [18:54] no static ip at first [18:54] need reboot [18:54] can it act as my router too easily? [18:54] that I didn't mind aboutlinuxmce [18:54] makes pxe stuff easier [18:55] hmm that I dont do. I run cisco routers standalone [18:55] coool [18:55] little worried about the fact the box goes down i lose my network [18:55] I generally use an ipcop box [18:55] every time? [18:55] sure it's not an adapter issue? [18:55] cool just have to many issues with myth and i end up reinstalling [18:56] no I have strange issue with serial ports and the external change scripts [18:56] it seems to get borked after a while and I cant figure out how to fix [18:56] it just starts to timeout [18:57] wow it looks like I can just do a brandy new ubuntu install and then do mythbuntu through the package manager [18:57] mythtv still has voip support right? [18:57] yes [18:57] although i just use it to register to asterisk [18:57] probably want to just do ubuntu then load the packages [18:57] I'll be doing a broadvoice account from home [18:58] I have asterisk in my business though ;) [18:58] trixbox and elastix are my friends hehe [18:58] mythbuntu works better if you want to just pop the disc in and do install [18:58] I'll do the ubuntu first way definitely [18:58] it has some good stuff in it for the remote [18:58] I might do that then [18:58] u dont need to do with mythbuntu [18:58] just load the disc [18:58] I've always had issues w/ my remote [18:58] installs the whole shebang [18:58] either way I end up w/ essentially the same product right [18:59] except for some of the newest themes like blootube [18:59] yes [18:59] my thing is, I want to have full access to my gnome [18:59] you can install mythbuntu and then install the desktop [18:59] you ever make your own themes? [18:59] I wish. I can barely keep my boxes stable. Too much mucking around [18:59] what's that gnome version they got w/ all the crazy screen changing effects? [18:59] I wanted to check that out [18:59] latest ubuntu works out of box with compiz [18:59] just enable desktop effects [19:00] is compiz installed? [19:00] and install the control manager [19:00] yes [19:00] yes compiz installed [19:00] if I do the mythbuntu method it is? [19:00] just enable desktop effects [19:00] nice [19:00] hmmm I dont know about mythbuntu [19:00] but I'm sure I can get it w/ the package manager [19:00] yes [19:00] mythbuntu is basically 7.10 gutsy [19:00] so far it seems if I don't want to have to do my remote manually, I should do the mythbuntu instead of manual install [19:01] so its probably thier [19:01] yes well it also has a control panel thats nice. [19:01] the tv out setup is really sweet [19:01] it enables vnc and nfs all nicely [19:01] that's what I'm doing then [19:01] so it make life much easier [19:01] less work = good [19:01] it really does [19:02] what's your involvement w/ the project? [19:02] it also has some scripts for mysql database [19:02] i am just a user [19:02] trying to fix my setup [19:02] I hear ya [19:02] i run knoppmyth for 3 years [19:02] however i got tired of the upgrade path and i run ubuntu on my desktops [19:03] so it seemed the better way to go [19:03] so are you good with mounting drives and nfs etc [19:04] a little [19:04] ;) [19:04] it's nice to have the gui for that, honestly [19:04] hehe [19:04] I can do: man mount [19:04] ;) [19:04] ok [19:04] I will figure it out or just reinstall [19:04] you got your data seperate I assume [19:05] my beef w/ mythtv before,a nd with linuxmce now, is it isn't as geared towards "collectors" as aI'd like [19:05] I mean, I've got a HUGE movie collection, a lot of different formats [19:05] and I want to keep collecting [19:05] yeah that is the plan. I dont want to keep losing all my data and recordings everytime this stupid friggin probles with the serial ports [19:05] I also want to be able to pop in a dvd, and rip it to the core w/ or w/o compression on a per case basis [19:05] well i have only couple terabytes [19:05] same here hehe [19:06] you can do that pretty easy in knoppmyth or any mythtv [19:06] linuxmce you damned near had to reboot to see data [19:06] yup [19:06] my knopmmyth box is still up haha [19:06] it's my backup when the girl starts bitching [19:06] linuxmce looks intriquing but i cant see all that stuff working [19:06] yeah tell me about it girl start bitching my wife hates mythtv [19:07] i have to fix it today or she is going to kill me [19:07] ok hey good luck going to take my daughter to the park. Good luck. [19:35] how would you change the mythbuntu loading screen graphics [19:35] I want to put my name in there hehe [19:41] loading screen? [19:41] the usplash boot? [19:46] yes [19:46] I believe [19:46] when yo9u turn it on, after the bios tests etc, when it's loading mythbuntu [19:47] w/ the load bar [20:03] aayes thats usplash.. check out the source and replace the pics .. google will help [20:04] http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=usplash&btnG [20:10] on mythtv on mythbuntu why am i not able to see videos in the library section? do the files have to be in a certain folder/ certain file type. also if i want to access the files from my laptop should i just run the frontend from the laptop and configure to connect to the backend on my pc? thanks [20:10] if you like, or use vlc et [20:10] etc [20:10] and yes, video's have to be in a certain location, and the default setup requires a 'scan' [20:12] daviey: when i scan a small box falshes blue and then goes off. im not sure it has even scanned. i also changed the video store location to where my videos are and scanned but still no luck [20:12] permissions? [20:13] well i pu the location as being /home/videos/. so i dunno, not sure about permission [20:13] I think the solution is for you to keep trying different things :) [20:14] yeh il keep at it! thanks [20:38] can anyone help me with lirc for imon? [20:42] does has any [20:42] does anybody have any expirience with imon drivers for soundgrapth components? [20:45] lirc expiriences anybody?
