[00:22] <tehpunkprodigy_> hey guys, anybody know what setting could cause the audio to sound poorly while watching tv?
[00:23] <nettow0822_> Have you looked at the troubleshooting guide?
[00:23] <tehpunkprodigy_> I installed mythbuntu 7.10 and now my audio is all grainy while watching tv, I had dapper installed before and it worked perfectly, so there must be a config error
[00:23] <tehpunkprodigy_> yes, for the past week
[00:23] <nettow0822_> sorry that is all I can offer
[00:24] <tehpunkprodigy_> my problem has something to do with the "digitizing" of the audio, because playing audio using analog(tvtime) sounds fine
[00:25] <nwidger> hello, anyone around?
[00:26] <tehpunkprodigy_> sure
[00:26] <nwidger> hi
[00:26] <nwidger> so i want to edit the lirc configuration for my remote
[00:26] <nwidger> yet when i change $HOME/.lircrc and restart mythtv, the changes dont work
[00:26] <nettow0822_> so what do you want to do?
[00:26] <nwidger> make the Back button on my mceusb remote do Escape
[00:27] <nwidger> so i added a begin...end block with Back as the button and Escape in the config field
[00:27] <nettow0822_> are you closing the program (ex mythtv) and restarting after you make the lirc change?
[00:27] <nwidger> restart mythtvfrontend, hit the button.. nothing happens
[00:27] <nwidger> and there aren't any other references to the Back button in the config file
[00:28] <nwidger> and /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf file lists Back as the name of a button, and irw confirms it
[00:28] <nwidger> nettow0822_: yeah, i restart mythfrontend after making the change
[00:32] <nwidger> any ideas?
[00:56] <tehpunkprodigy> huh the recording profiles were all set by default to the lowest possible audio rate, thats strange
[02:23] <matooke> what should I use with the hauppauge pvr-150 card? V4L or mpeg-2?
[02:48] <nettow0822__> tgm4883 you awake?
[04:39] <crazedCrazed> hey how do I start a application are startup ?
[04:39] <crazedCrazed> at*
[04:58] <mindframe_> is the next release of mythbuntu going to include mythtv 0.21 ?

[05:29] <kmyth> how do i get mythbackend to start on boot
[10:10] <frink__> hullo
[10:35] <MilhousePunkRock> How do I determine the command xfce uses to hibernate the machine? I want to use that as the shutdown command (for some reason, my machine will only wake up from /proc/acpi/alarm from hibernation, not from complete power-off)
[14:01] <MilhousePunkRock> Hello everyone!
[14:16] <Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: hey, i hear you got your nova-t 500 remote working?
[14:17] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: Indeed... Had to compile v4l myself, but with mercurial, that was really a piece of cake!
[14:17] <Daviey> and that was it, just worked?
[14:18] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: Even better news: The MythBox is currently in the living room, my girlfriend is watching "Ghost Whisperer" which I recorded for her yesterday
[14:18] <Daviey> yah WAF
[14:18] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: Yes, the "with 2 devices inside" message on dmesg turned into "5 devices" after that
[14:19] <MilhousePunkRock> There was some tweaking involved, I used the config files from the MythTV wiki for the remote and after that M-C-C has the remote greyed out...
[14:20] <Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: care to describe14:16:54 < Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: hey, i hear you got your nova-t 500 remote working?
[14:20] <MilhousePunkRock> No manual configuration needed for TV-Out though... The composite on my GeForce 6200 "just works"(TM)
[14:20] <Daviey> whoops
[14:20] <Daviey> 14:17:24 < MilhousePunkRock> +Daviey: Indeed... Had to compile v4l myself, but with mercurial, that was really a piece of  cake!
[14:20] <Daviey> Care to describe how, i've got a friend who wants to get his remote working on a production box
[14:22] <MilhousePunkRock> I pretty much just followed the wiki, http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI
[14:24] <Daviey> ta
[14:24] <MilhousePunkRock> It's completely accurate, and then I replaced the config files for the remote with those posted there. Of course one has to match /dev/input/eventX
[14:26] <MilhousePunkRock> How can I determine which command the log-out dialog of xfce uses to hibernate the system? I'd like to use that for MythTV to shut down the system, my machine will only wake up with ACPI wake-up from hibernate or suspend, not from power-off
[14:28] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: What's not working with the remote is holding down a key and having it repeated, I wonder if that's hardware-sided. irw does only report one keypress if I hold down a key
[14:29] <MilhousePunkRock> For volume for instance (I do have volume control working via a softvol device in the .asoundrc :D )
[14:51] <Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: You can send acpi commands, but they need to be done as root / suid
[14:51] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: visudo is the way to go for that, I assume... But I need to know those commands...
[14:58] <Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: there's a few ways of doing it
[14:58] <Daviey> 'hibernate' the application
[14:58] <Daviey> suspend2 application
[14:59] <MilhousePunkRock> I wonder if the /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh is getting called from the logout dialog
[14:59] <Daviey> as root: echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
[14:59] <Daviey> it is AFAIK
[15:00] <MilhousePunkRock> Daviey: In that case I would only need that as the shutdown command and have "user" in the sudoers execute it without password prompt, and probably "mythtv" too
[16:01] <canute> ubuntu does not detect my tv capture card...
[16:02] <canute>  Congratulations!  Your TV card vendor saved a few
[16:02] <canute> [   12.152000] saa7134:  cents for a eeprom, thus your pci board has no
[16:02] <canute> [   12.152000] saa7134:  subsystem ID and I can't identify it automatically
[16:03] <canute> i am getting the followind message when i try dmesg...
[16:03] <canute> is there anybody here who could help me.....
[16:05] <canute> is this the right place to ask questions about tv tuner card???
[16:17] <Sieg_at_war> help
[16:22] <Smoerrebroed> Help is just an illusion.
[16:58] <Sieg_at_war> ok
[17:23] <superm1> !ask
[17:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[18:16] <hasse> hello, anyone know why my mythstream dosent work after an upgrade, some problems about, mythstream compiled with a old version of libmyth, how to solve that ?
[18:27] <superm1> hasse, on which build?
[18:27] <superm1> on the weekly ones?
[18:32] <hasse> the latest nightly build
[18:36] <superm1> trunk?
[18:36] <superm1> or fixes
[18:36] <superm1> (and they are weekly not nightly)
[18:37] <hasse> trunk
[18:37] <superm1> mythstream isn't usually rebuilt against trunk, but i guess that's a good point that it should be
[18:37] <superm1> we can add that to our build script i suppose
[18:37] <superm1> look for it in next week's build, ok?
[18:38] <hasse> would be nice, but when wuold it be updated ?
[18:38] <superm1> everyweekend
[18:38] <superm1> so we havent done this weekend's yet
[18:38] <superm1> but will be doing them tonight or tomorrow
[18:38] <superm1> and they are usually one day delayed to mirrors
[18:39] <hasse> that would be lovely, thanks
[20:13] <don> Hello. I have set up my Mythbuntu back end so that it can be seen by my ps3. The problem is that the ps3 doesn't find any files. How do I add my existing content (movies and music) to Mythbuntu?
[20:31] <hasse> anyone knows anything about a audioscrobbler plugin for mythmusic ?
[21:01] <Chads_> Has anyone tried Windows Media Centre in comparison to MythTV?
[21:04] <nwidger> hello
[21:04] <nwidger> so i want to modify the remote bindings in mythbuntu
[21:04] <nwidger> i have a working config, but i want to customize it
[21:04] <nwidger> what do i need to edit?
[21:09] <hasse> nwidger: ~/.lircrc i think
[21:52] <rinaldi_> if i set a program to record from one of my frontends andexit it, will it still record? also im getting "decoder MAD" error when trying to play music from one of my frontends
[22:05] <don_> Hello, I'm back. I have set up my Mythbuntu back end so that it can be seen by my ps3. The problem is that the ps3 doesn't find any files. How do I add my existing content (movies and music) to Mythbuntu?
[22:15] <MythbuntuGuest83> Hello all - long time user / first time chatter
[22:16] <don_> Hi MythbuntuGuest
[22:16] <don_> I'm a short time user and a 2nd time chatter.
[22:16] <MythbuntuGuest83> I just installed Mythbuntu 7.10 to upgrade my previous Ubuntu / Myth install, and have problems with /dev/dvb not existing.
[22:17] <MythbuntuGuest83> If I load the cx88-dvb module, I get an error - "FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb:  No such device.
[22:18] <MythbuntuGuest83> Basically - the device doesn't exisit, I have tried udeving around to make it happen, and no joy.
[22:18] <MythbuntuGuest83> Anyone have any ideas?
[22:19] <don_> I'm afraid that went way over my head. Sorry.
[22:20] <MythbuntuGuest83> No worries - It is really over my head to, but they can train monkeys to go to the moon - so surely I can figure this out with a bit of help.....
[22:21] <MythbuntuGuest83> I did neglect to say that I am trying to get a pcHDTV5500 working on /dev/dvb/frontend0 - via the cx88-dvb kernel module
[22:22] <don_> I hear that. I'm trying to get Mythbuntu to steam content to my ps3. I can see the Mythbuntu back end from the ps3 but there are no files present. Any idea how I get Mythbuntu to see files already on my machine?
[22:24] <MythbuntuGuest83> Can you see the files via the backend?
[22:26] <MythbuntuGuest83> I have all my media stored on a SAN, and I have to do SMB hard mounts on the server so that it can scan the folders
[22:27] <MythbuntuGuest83> Then they are availalable to clients
[22:27] <MythbuntuGuest51> Guest83 Do you record directly to your SAN?
[22:29] <MythbuntuGuest83> No - I record shows to the Server, and then use a cron job to move transcoded files to the SAN.  All my other media is put directly on the SAN however (mp3 / movies etc)
[22:29] <don_> I'm not sure if I can see the files from the back end. I am running the back end on an Ubuntu desktop. I can see the files from the desktop but I haven't figured out how to add them to the back end.
[22:30] <MythbuntuGuest51> I'm tinkering with the Idea of SAN for all my stuff, but that would put me in the same boat as you.
[22:31] <MythbuntuGuest51> MythTV .21 shoud have better support for this with Storage Groups I'm told
[22:31] <MythbuntuGuest83> You need to either put them in a folder that is scanned by the backend (/var/mythtv/videos or something like that)
[22:32] <don_> Can i get Mythbuntu to scan a folder other than /var/mythtv/videos?
[22:32] <MythbuntuGuest51> I was wondering if there was a way to move them, then update the pointer in the database to the new location
[22:33] <MythbuntuGuest51> I'm not thinking so, the way I understand it, it only knows about the recordings from the database entry
[22:34] <MythbuntuGuest83> You can tell it where your "video" folder is, or your "music
[22:34] <MythbuntuGuest83> " folder is etc.
[22:35] <MythbuntuGuest83> It is under setup.
[22:35] <MythbuntuGuest83> Otherwise you can create a hard link on the file system so that it will scan an alternate location.
[22:36] <MythbuntuGuest51> that gets back your having to manualy mount the share
[22:36] <MythbuntuGuest51> I added a line to my /etc/rc.local that remounts the share on startup
[22:37] <MythbuntuGuest51> my slave backends use it for transcodeing, comm flaging, etc
[22:37] <don_> my /var/lib/mythtv/ folder contains only a recordings folder. Do I need to add other folders?
[22:38] <MythbuntuGuest83> In setup - you can specify your video/music and picture folders as well, and they can all be different.
[22:38] <don_> Sorry to be such a noob, but how do I get to setup?
[22:38] <don_> Is it in the MCC?
[22:42] <MythbuntuGuest83> Give me a minute and I will look on my frontend
[22:43] <don_> There is a Launch MythTV Setup in the MCC under MythTV Configuration but I can't see anything about defining various folders.
[22:45] <MythbuntuGuest83> I am switching to MrYutz......
[22:46] <MrYutz> I just installed Mythbuntu 7.10 to upgrade my previous Ubuntu / Myth install, and have problems with /dev/dvb not existing for my pcHDTV 5500 card.
[22:47] <MrYutz> don_ under  the backend setup "general" section, you can choose what folder you recordings go into.  Otherwise each front end can be configured for the video / picture / music folder individually.
[22:47] <MrYutz> I have mine all set to point to the same location (each front end)
[22:47] <MrYutz> But now my server doesn't work (see above) and that is a whole different issue.
[22:48] <MrYutz> I think you just need to setup a samba share for the folders you want to share - and then let the PS3 connect to them - although I don't have one of those - so I can't say for sure what the best method is.
[22:50] <don_> Perhaps the method that I have been trying isn't going to work. The PS3 can read a UPnP server so I was hoping to have the PS3 read the UPnP back end. I don't actually have a Mythbuntu front end installed on my PS3. What do you think?
[23:09] <MrYutz> don_ if you are still around - I am not sure what the PS3 is capable of.  I just googled UPnP server, and realize I don't know much about it.
[23:10] <don_> Thanks a lot for the help MrYutz. I'll keep looking. I hope you get your issue sorted out.
[23:13] <MrYutz> I just installed Mythbuntu 7.10 to upgrade my previous Ubuntu / Myth install, and have problems with /dev/dvb not existing for my pcHDTV 5500 card.  I have tried to mannual modprobe the cx88-dvb driver, but it says:  "No such device".
[23:14] <MrYutz> The card is listed in dmesg (pcHDTV 5500 / type 47), but I cannot get the module to load with the 7.10 version of Mythbuntu.  It was working fine under 7.04.  Any ideas?
