| Egghead | does mythplayer support any compressed iso formats? like uif? | 01:47 |
|---|---|---|
| rhpot1991 | Egghead: not entirely sure, but you can use other players like xine or mplayer within myth itself | 02:00 |
| rhpot1991 | try asking in the mythtv-user channel or on the mailing list | 02:00 |
| Egghead | rhpot thanks | 02:02 |

| javatexan | howdy all ... anyone using the logitech harmony universal remote? Do you still need a Mythtv LIRC RS232 IR receiver to get it to work | 03:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | nothing better than free support | 04:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | Having a lot of trouble with ATI X1950 all in wonder, and ideas? | 04:16 |
| rhpot1991 | other than get an nvidia card? | 04:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | soo I'm doomed? | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | prob not | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | you check the forums at all? | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | normally a lot of video card discussion going on there | 04:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | all of them, nothing works other than running in 480. Looks like everyone hates ATI | 04:19 |
| hansoffate | hi, anyone here? | 04:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | tried the ATI driver, and cannot even get a terminal now | 04:19 |
| hansoffate | for a network share with a windows computer, does anyone know what filesystem I should use? | 04:20 |
| hansoffate | because mkvs can get larger then 4gb's | 04:20 |
| rhpot1991 | hansoffate: you mean what should you use in your fstab when mounting? | 04:20 |
| hansoffate | no like, xfs, fat32, ex2, ex3, ntfs | 04:21 |
| hansoffate | something that a windows computer will be able to read and write to | 04:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | samba | 04:22 |
| hansoffate | i read that fat32 doesn't work with files bigger then 4gbs | 04:22 |
| hansoffate | and some mkvs are bigger then 4gbs | 04:22 |
| rhpot1991 | ya fat32 doesn't | 04:22 |
| rhpot1991 | if you set up a samba share it doesn't matter what format it is on the linux box | 04:22 |
| hansoffate | so what would windows be able to read/write to? | 04:22 |
| hansoffate | oh really? | 04:22 |
| hansoffate | i thought it did | 04:23 |
| rhpot1991 | nope | 04:23 |
| rhpot1991 | on usb and stuff it does since windows mounts that | 04:23 |
| hansoffate | so i can use XFS? | 04:23 |
| rhpot1991 | you should be able to | 04:23 |
| hansoffate | really? | 04:24 |
| hansoffate | hmm, ok | 04:24 |
| hansoffate | because i want to make a partition that is /share so my windows system can write to it | 04:24 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, I have shared off of ext3's in the past to windows | 04:25 |
| hansoffate | hmmm i read ext3 is fine | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | well write via a samba share right? | 04:25 |
| hansoffate | yea | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | ya windows doesn't see or care what the partition is via a share | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | as far as I am aware | 04:25 |
| hansoffate | i want to transfer videos off of my windows HD and to the new mythbuntu etup | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | samba handles all of that for you | 04:25 |
| hansoffate | isn't XFS best for big files? | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | why not just make a share in windows and mount that on your linux box | 04:26 |
| rhpot1991 | my understanding is that xfs is the best when doing lots of delete/write operation of large files | 04:26 |
| hansoffate | because im going ot be playing HD .mkv files over the network | 04:26 |
| rhpot1991 | can prob get away with ext3 if you aren't gonna be modifying them much | 04:26 |
| hansoffate | won't it be better if its actually on the linux system? | 04:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | ReiserFS is by far better if you don' | 04:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | mind supporting a killer | 04:26 |
| hansoffate | its just going to be as a temporary 100gb storage for AVIs and Mkvs | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | well if you are just xfering them, it doesn't matter how its done | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | just so the box can see them to get them | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | then you no longer need the share | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | both accomplish the same thing | 04:27 |
| hansoffate | so XFS, ext3 or ReiserFS | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | heck you can use winscp to copy them over via windows | 04:27 |
| hansoffate | ok | 04:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser | 04:28 |
| hansoffate | anyoen got a suggestions? | 04:28 |
| hansoffate | what you say rhpot1991 and MythbuntuGuest33 | 04:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | ReiserFS is the fastest by far | 04:28 |
| rhpot1991 | do you need the share to be there forever? | 04:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | no idea on this ATI x1950 card? | 04:29 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest33: I'd post in the forums, more people who would know will see it | 04:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | Thank guys! Good luck | 04:30 |
| hansoffate | rhpot1991: uhh not really just to transfer the videos | 04:30 |
| rhpot1991 | google for winscp | 04:30 |
| hansoffate | what other way is there to transfer the video files? | 04:30 |
| hansoffate | ok | 04:30 |
| hansoffate | i'll read up on it | 04:30 |
| rhpot1991 | logs in with your ssh account | 04:30 |
| hansoffate | thanks for the help | 04:30 |
| rhpot1991 | and you can xfer via that without setting anything up | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | thats the easiest way | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | other than that mount a windows share on your linux box | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | or set up a samba share on it and mount it with windows | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | both about the same | 04:31 |
| hansoffate | well i still wnat a partition to store these | 04:31 |
| hansoffate | I think i'll go with Reiser | 04:31 |
| hansoffate | or XFS | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | apt-get install gparted | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | easy to make partitions with that | 04:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I prefer xfs, but everyone likes something different | 04:32 |
| hansoffate | oh im setting up from a freshinstall anyway | 04:32 |
| hansoffate | i prefer xfs too... form what i have used | 04:32 |
| hansoffate | i have my /var/lib all XFS | 04:32 |
| hansoffate | k, i'll setup another "/share" partition thats 100gb XFS | 04:32 |
| hansoffate | thanks for the help rhpot1991 | 04:33 |
| rhpot1991 | no problem | 04:33 |

| pdragon | there a way to force a remote front end to run in a window? | 04:43 |
| pdragon | i checked the box in the setup, but it still goes to full screen | 04:45 |
| fenriz_ | change the geometry in the frontend | 04:45 |
| fenriz_ | setup --> appearance IMHO | 04:46 |
| pdragon | cool. that did it. didn't realize that's what those boxes were for | 04:48 |
| pdragon | thanks! | 04:48 |
| fenriz_ | no problem, I do the same thing for frontends that run on laptops | 04:48 |
| pdragon | hmm... any way to turn borders on the window so you can move it around? | 04:49 |
| fenriz_ | not that i am aware of | 04:49 |
| fenriz_ | resize or move? | 04:49 |
| pdragon | just meant moving it around like a normal window. i saw the other options for offsetting it's position. that's not what i mean | 04:50 |
| fenriz_ | have compiz running? | 04:50 |
| pdragon | yeah | 04:50 |
| fenriz_ | close the frontend, turn off compiz and start the frontend | 04:51 |
| fenriz_ | pain in the ass | 04:51 |
| pdragon | heh... actually i'd been meaning to turn it off. will be running some games on this system and that screws it up | 04:51 |
| pdragon | just installed ubuntu a little while ago and getting things set up | 04:52 |
| fenriz_ | this laptop runs gentoo but same issue | 04:52 |
| pdragon | ahh! nice. thanks again! | 04:53 |
| fenriz_ | np | 04:53 |
| pdragon | woo... will be nice to be able to watch tv and recordings in this room now :) | 04:53 |
| phaktor | you guys using lirc to transmit? | 04:56 |
| fenriz_ | on an xbox frontend yes | 04:56 |
| pdragon | still just using a keyboard myself | 04:57 |
| phaktor | I've got a dish receiver that I'm trying to control, to no avail. | 04:59 |
| fenriz_ | never used an ir blaster that's on the 6 month plan | 05:00 |
| phaktor | I don't know I've built one, bought one and they both don't work ... I think it is a config error tho, I just don't know what .. | 05:03 |
| fenriz_ | honestly I think I'm gonna be completely lazy when it comes around and buy one of those fancy ass one's | 05:03 |
| phaktor | I know my trasmitter is working (used a digital camera to watch it blink.) I just think it's blinking wrong. | 05:04 |
| fenriz_ | spent around 3 minutes with the one built into a pvr-150 but didn't get far | 05:04 |
| fenriz_ | gotta get a hdhomerun first though | 05:06 |
| javatexan | howdy all | 06:17 |
| javatexan | How do I take a mythbuntu install and make it able to run/dev the latest mythbuntu stuff from code. I am assuming that mythbuntu is a fork of mythtv...right? | 06:18 |
| pdragon | i don't think it's considered a fork | 07:16 |
| pdragon | it uses the actual mythtv software | 07:16 |
| pdragon | not sure how to answer your first question, though, sorry | 07:17 |
| superm1 | javatexan, each of the branches can be independently checked out | 07:38 |
| superm1 | aside from mythbuntu | 07:38 |
| superm1 | easiest way is to develop outside a mythbuntu install, and bring the built debs in | 07:38 |
| superm1 | and then install them that way | 07:38 |
| superm1 | I do my development in a standard gutsy install, and then testing inside a VM | 07:38 |
| pdragon | was my assumption about it not being a fork right? :p | 07:39 |
| superm1 | yes | 07:39 |
| superm1 | it can be considered a derivative or remix of ubuntu, but it uses standard mythtv software | 07:39 |
| superm1 | with patches for additional support (which can be found in ubuntu as well) | 07:40 |
| superm1 | there are some things that upstream doesn't include in the -fixes branch that we do | 07:40 |
| superm1 | javatexan, what were you interested in helping out on code wise? | 07:40 |
| * rhpot1991 hopes he says ipod chapter support | 07:44 | |
| javatexan | right now, I have a lot to learn, but I could help with almost anything. My background is mainly in server side stuff | 07:45 |
| javatexan | so I could have a regular ubuntu install and you test mythbuntu in VM. which VM do you use for mythbuntu Vmware or Qemu | 07:46 |
| rhpot1991 | virtualbox | 07:46 |
| javatexan | do you use something like kdevelop, something else, or just good ol emacs, :) | 07:47 |
| javatexan | wow...does mythbuntu work very well in a VM, seems with all that server grade stuff going on it would drag. Can you record dual streams that way? | 07:51 |
| javatexan | wow...never heard of virtualbox....when did it show up...LOL | 07:54 |
| javatexan | what does rhpot1991 refer to? If I had to guess it would be a red hat pot on stack? am I close? | 07:57 |
| rhpot1991 | way off | 07:58 |
| rhpot1991 | initials of a movie that was made in 1991 | 07:58 |
| javatexan | okay | 07:58 |
| rhpot1991 | can you guess it now? | 07:59 |
| javatexan | trying to think of movies in 91....been a while | 07:59 |
| javatexan | the only one I can think of thats close.... | 08:00 |
| javatexan | was that the year of the robin hood movie? | 08:01 |
| javatexan | wait...ill look it up | 08:01 |
| javatexan | if it is robin hood, I don't know where the POT would come from | 08:02 |
| javatexan | ah found it on google....prince of thieves | 08:03 |
| javatexan | ;) | 08:03 |
| javatexan | my girlfriend loved that move | 08:03 |
| javatexan | movie | 08:03 |
| rhpot1991 | ding ding | 08:03 |
| javatexan | we saw it about 4 or 5 times | 08:03 |
| rhpot1991 | I do enjoy it | 08:03 |
| javatexan | cool | 08:03 |
| javatexan | mine is boring....i live in TX and I like coffee | 08:05 |
| javatexan | ;) | 08:05 |
| javatexan | which is why I am still up | 08:06 |
| javatexan | at 2:06am | 08:07 |
| javatexan | so do you use kdevelop for mythbuntu? or eclipse? or VI or emacs... what does a workspace for myth look like?...say if you wanted to get the latest source compile and run it? | 08:08 |
| javatexan | fe and be | 08:09 |
| rhpot1991 | right now I am just working on some scripts so gedit or vi | 08:09 |
| javatexan | okay...do you use the gnome ubuntu or the kde ubuntu | 08:10 |
| javatexan | does QT act different on one vs the other? | 08:10 |
| rhpot1991 | I use gnome, and I don't think so | 08:14 |
| javatexan | cool...just curious.....so many questions | 08:16 |
| Daviey | javatexan: if you can install it on ubuntu - you can on mythbuntu | 09:25 |
| superm1 | javatexan, where abouts in TX? I'm moving down in two weeks | 09:29 |
| superm1 | and as for development env., it depends on where you want to work on | 09:29 |
| superm1 | i personally use geany for a lot of my stuff | 09:30 |
| superm1 | but that's because I focus on a lot of python | 09:30 |
| superm1 | and it works really well with it | 09:30 |
| jduggan | hi all | 11:17 |
| jduggan | is the irblaster on the pvr150 included in latest pvr150? | 11:17 |
| jduggan | erm | 11:17 |
| jduggan | latest mythbuntu | 11:17 |
| jduggan | hey anyone around? | 15:39 |
| beavis | jduggan, if you don't ask a question you won't get an answer | 16:43 |
| beavis | noone will ever answer "yes I'm around" | 16:43 |
| jduggan | beavis: i asked a question, nobody answered, i know how annoying it is seeing people repeat themselves | 16:50 |
| jduggan | my question was, is the irblaster found on the PVR150 supported in mythbuntu, if not officially, is there any guides/easy method of getting it working | 16:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | Hmm.. I got a 150. but ice never used the irblaster | 16:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | I dont even use the remote. :( ive heard it works however. | 16:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | Id like to get it working - so i could use the STB, and record G4 channel. IF you find a nice guide let me know. | 16:55 |
| jduggan | i use the remote on one frontend (because its combined frontend/backend), but since i record from a cable STB i need the backend to be able to use the irblaster otherwise it's useless | 16:55 |
| jduggan | :P | 16:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | I really hate STB's | 16:56 |
| jduggan | and me, but no choice in the matter | 16:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | I recall to use the STB i was having to go from the video out on it.. to the video in on the PVR150, then i had to set up some channel changing script.. | 16:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | and thats about where i gave up. :) | 16:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | the wife took the STB back also. | 16:57 |
| jduggan | i used to use channel change script about 12months ago to control a SKY stb, but i was using debian and built it myself | 16:58 |
| jduggan | i want to know how to do it in myth | 16:58 |
| jduggan | :o | 16:58 |
| jduggan | er | 16:58 |
| jduggan | mythbuntu | 16:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | Over my head. :) i can barely get MythTV working. heh heh. | 17:15 |
| Dr_willis_ | bbl | 17:16 |
| winther | hi | 18:35 |
| winther | Is it possible to use a stream as a channel? We Have set up a server, that provides http/mpeg2 streams for many channels | 18:36 |
| beavis | superm1, there seems to be a problem with mythvideo today | 19:06 |
| beavis | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mythvideo_0.20.99+trunk15283-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): | 19:07 |
| beavis | trying to overwrite `/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default-wide/mv-sel.png', which is also in package mythtv-common | 19:07 |
| jduggan | what version of ivtv does the latest mythbuntu ship? | 19:32 |
| hexxington | 1.0.2-2 | 19:43 |
| Daviey | which needs updating for cards such as Nova 500 dvb-t to work well | 19:47 |
| CygnusX1 | Any suggestions on why myth streaming (internet radio) would be skipping and jumping and basically sounding like audio on a via boarsd with an SB Live circa 2000 on Win2k? | 19:49 |
| hexxington | Daviey, ivtv's for mpeg encoders, not dvb cards | 19:53 |

| Tar1 | it can't connect to the SQL database for some reason or another | 20:15 |
| gcleric | Well the last error is tell me mythtv can login to the DB | 20:15 |
| gcleric | check your /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 20:17 |
| jduggan | anyone know how to get the irblaster on a pvr150 working in mythbuntu? | 20:19 |
| morphios | can a pro of linux help me out ..i am following instructions which sais to type in sudo mysql < ./database/mc.sql but then i get error bash ./database/mc.sql no such file or directory | 20:20 |
| gcleric | is the path to /database/mc.sql correct? Where is mc.sql | 20:21 |
| Dr_willis | morphios, put in the right path to where that file is at. | 20:21 |
| morphios | doh! ok | 20:22 |
| Dr_willis | Logical eh. :) | 20:22 |
| javatexan | another stupid question: can you use mythtv with Xbox360? | 20:24 |
| Tar1 | probably not | 20:24 |
| Tar1 | depends on what you want to do with it | 20:24 |
| Tar1 | I expect it can read SMB shares, but that would be it | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | I thought the 360 had a UPNP client? | 20:26 |
| Jonny88 | mythtv/mysql.txt password matches mythtv, but I cannot login to mysql via terminal using 'mythtv' as a user | 20:26 |
| morphios | thanks Dr it worked lol | 20:30 |
| Jonny88 | how do I create database | 20:41 |
| morphios | after issuing commande sudo /etc/init.d/mysql i got this "restart checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables" is there somthing we can do about this error ? | 20:51 |
| winther | does anybody know, if it is possible to use a mpeg2 stream as a source for mythtv? | 20:52 |
| gcleric | morphios: that is normal. | 20:54 |
| morphios | ok good to be normal thanks | 20:54 |
| gcleric | it is checking for checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables... | 20:54 |
| winther | can anybody tell me what a FreeBox Network Recorder is? | 21:07 |
| Tar1 | looks like some sort of IPTV set-top box | 21:12 |
| jduggan | nobody has experience of pvr150's irblaster under mythbuntu? | 21:13 |
| winther | Tar1: thank you | 21:23 |
| winther | Tar1: do you know, if it is possible to use a stream as an input for mythtv? | 21:23 |
| Tar1 | I'd guess not | 21:27 |
| Tar1 | it would probably be possible to create a kernel module which would act like a tuner, but that's probably a lot of work | 21:27 |
| winther | yeah, I guess | 21:34 |
| winther | Tar1: is it possible the other way around? Has MythTV the capability to offer a stream to vlc? | 21:34 |
| Tar1 | you can open the tuner in VLC, but myth just writes streams to file | 21:35 |
| Tar1 | so, no, not directly | 21:36 |
| winther | that makes my task difficult. | 21:36 |
| morphios | Can i ask when scanning Bev 91 what is the frequency poloraity and symbol rate? anyone know | 21:37 |
| morphios | signal strength is 80% arounds and signal noise is always at 0% is that normal? | 21:48 |
| hexxington | some tuners mis-report values | 21:49 |
| morphios | So it could be normal for a nexus to always have 0 for noise signal | 21:59 |
| hexxington | maybe | 21:59 |
