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

[05:29] how do i get mythbackend to start on boot [10:10] hullo [10:35] 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) === hugolp is now known as hugolp1 === hugolp1 is now known as hugolp [14:01] Hello everyone! [14:16] MilhousePunkRock: hey, i hear you got your nova-t 500 remote working? [14:17] Daviey: Indeed... Had to compile v4l myself, but with mercurial, that was really a piece of cake! [14:17] and that was it, just worked? [14:18] 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] yah WAF [14:18] Daviey: Yes, the "with 2 devices inside" message on dmesg turned into "5 devices" after that [14:19] 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] MilhousePunkRock: care to describe14:16:54 < Daviey> MilhousePunkRock: hey, i hear you got your nova-t 500 remote working? [14:20] No manual configuration needed for TV-Out though... The composite on my GeForce 6200 "just works"(TM) [14:20] whoops [14:20] 14:17:24 < MilhousePunkRock> +Daviey: Indeed... Had to compile v4l myself, but with mercurial, that was really a piece of cake! [14:20] Care to describe how, i've got a friend who wants to get his remote working on a production box [14:22] I pretty much just followed the wiki, http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI [14:24] ta [14:24] 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] 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] 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] For volume for instance (I do have volume control working via a softvol device in the .asoundrc :D ) [14:51] MilhousePunkRock: You can send acpi commands, but they need to be done as root / suid [14:51] Daviey: visudo is the way to go for that, I assume... But I need to know those commands... [14:58] MilhousePunkRock: there's a few ways of doing it [14:58] 'hibernate' the application [14:58] suspend2 application [14:59] I wonder if the /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh is getting called from the logout dialog [14:59] as root: echo -n mem > /sys/power/state [14:59] it is AFAIK [15:00] 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] ubuntu does not detect my tv capture card... [16:02] Congratulations! Your TV card vendor saved a few [16:02] [ 12.152000] saa7134: cents for a eeprom, thus your pci board has no [16:02] [ 12.152000] saa7134: subsystem ID and I can't identify it automatically [16:03] i am getting the followind message when i try dmesg... [16:03] is there anybody here who could help me..... [16:05] is this the right place to ask questions about tv tuner card??? [16:17] help [16:22] Help is just an illusion. [16:58] ok [17:23] !ask [17:23] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [18:16] 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] hasse, on which build? [18:27] on the weekly ones? [18:32] the latest nightly build [18:36] trunk? [18:36] or fixes [18:36] (and they are weekly not nightly) [18:37] trunk [18:37] mythstream isn't usually rebuilt against trunk, but i guess that's a good point that it should be [18:37] we can add that to our build script i suppose [18:37] look for it in next week's build, ok? [18:38] would be nice, but when wuold it be updated ? [18:38] everyweekend [18:38] so we havent done this weekend's yet [18:38] but will be doing them tonight or tomorrow [18:38] and they are usually one day delayed to mirrors [18:39] that would be lovely, thanks [20:13] 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] anyone knows anything about a audioscrobbler plugin for mythmusic ? [21:01] Has anyone tried Windows Media Centre in comparison to MythTV? [21:04] hello [21:04] so i want to modify the remote bindings in mythbuntu [21:04] i have a working config, but i want to customize it [21:04] what do i need to edit? [21:09] nwidger: ~/.lircrc i think [21:52] 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] 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] Hello all - long time user / first time chatter [22:16] Hi MythbuntuGuest [22:16] I'm a short time user and a 2nd time chatter. [22:16] I just installed Mythbuntu 7.10 to upgrade my previous Ubuntu / Myth install, and have problems with /dev/dvb not existing. [22:17] If I load the cx88-dvb module, I get an error - "FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb: No such device. [22:18] Basically - the device doesn't exisit, I have tried udeving around to make it happen, and no joy. [22:18] Anyone have any ideas? [22:19] I'm afraid that went way over my head. Sorry. [22:20] 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] 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] 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] Can you see the files via the backend? [22:26] 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] Then they are availalable to clients [22:27] Guest83 Do you record directly to your SAN? [22:29] 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] 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] 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] MythTV .21 shoud have better support for this with Storage Groups I'm told [22:31] You need to either put them in a folder that is scanned by the backend (/var/mythtv/videos or something like that) [22:32] Can i get Mythbuntu to scan a folder other than /var/mythtv/videos? [22:32] I was wondering if there was a way to move them, then update the pointer in the database to the new location [22:33] I'm not thinking so, the way I understand it, it only knows about the recordings from the database entry [22:34] You can tell it where your "video" folder is, or your "music [22:34] " folder is etc. [22:35] It is under setup. [22:35] Otherwise you can create a hard link on the file system so that it will scan an alternate location. [22:36] that gets back your having to manualy mount the share [22:36] I added a line to my /etc/rc.local that remounts the share on startup [22:37] my slave backends use it for transcodeing, comm flaging, etc [22:37] my /var/lib/mythtv/ folder contains only a recordings folder. Do I need to add other folders? [22:38] In setup - you can specify your video/music and picture folders as well, and they can all be different. [22:38] Sorry to be such a noob, but how do I get to setup? [22:38] Is it in the MCC? [22:42] Give me a minute and I will look on my frontend [22:43] There is a Launch MythTV Setup in the MCC under MythTV Configuration but I can't see anything about defining various folders. [22:45] I am switching to MrYutz...... [22:46] 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] 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] I have mine all set to point to the same location (each front end) [22:47] But now my server doesn't work (see above) and that is a whole different issue. [22:48] 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] 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] 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] Thanks a lot for the help MrYutz. I'll keep looking. I hope you get your issue sorted out. [23:13] 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] 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?
