[01:47] <Egghead> does mythplayer support any compressed iso formats? like uif?
[02:00] <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
[02:02] <Egghead> rhpot thanks
[03:09] <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
[04:16] <MythbuntuGuest33> nothing better than free support
[04:16] <MythbuntuGuest33> Having a lot of trouble with ATI X1950 all in wonder, and ideas?
[04:17] <rhpot1991> other than get an nvidia card?
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <hansoffate> no like, xfs, fat32, ex2, ex3, ntfs
[04:21] <hansoffate> something that a windows computer will be able to read and write to
[04:22] <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?
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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?
[04:26] <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
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <hansoffate> thanks for the help rhpot1991
[04:33] <rhpot1991> no problem
[04:33] <rhpot1991> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131
[04:34] <rhpot1991> describes setting up a windows share in linux
[04:34] <rhpot1991> can check the forums/wiki for how to do it the other way around
[04:43] <pdragon> there a way to force a remote front end to run in a window?
[04:45] <pdragon> i checked the box in the setup, but it still goes to full screen
[04:45] <fenriz_> change the geometry in the frontend
[04:46] <fenriz_> setup --> appearance IMHO
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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?
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <pdragon> just installed ubuntu a little while ago and getting things set up
[04:52] <fenriz_> this laptop runs gentoo but same issue
[04:53] <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 :)
[04:56] <phaktor> you guys using lirc to transmit?
[04:56] <fenriz_> on an xbox frontend yes
[04:57] <pdragon> still just using a keyboard myself
[04:59] <phaktor> I've got a dish receiver that I'm trying to control, to no avail.
[05:00] <fenriz_> never used an ir blaster that's on the 6 month plan
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <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
[05:06] <fenriz_> gotta get a hdhomerun first though
[06:17] <javatexan> howdy all
[06:18] <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?
[07:16] <pdragon> i don't think it's considered a fork
[07:16] <pdragon> it uses the actual mythtv software
[07:17] <pdragon> not sure how to answer your first question, though, sorry
[07:38] <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
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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?
[07:44]  * rhpot1991 hopes he says ipod chapter support
[07:45] <javatexan> right now, I have a lot to learn, but I could help with almost anything.  My background is mainly in server side stuff
[07:46] <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
[07:47] <javatexan> do you use something like kdevelop, something else, or just good ol emacs, :)
[07:51] <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?
[07:54] <javatexan> wow...never heard of virtualbox....when did it show up...LOL
[07:57] <javatexan> what does rhpot1991 refer to?  If I had to guess it would be a red hat pot on stack?  am I close?
[07:58] <rhpot1991> way off
[07:58] <rhpot1991> initials of a movie that was made in 1991
[07:58] <javatexan> okay
[07:59] <rhpot1991> can you guess it now?
[07:59] <javatexan> trying to think of movies in 91....been a while
[08:00] <javatexan> the only one I can think of thats close....
[08:01] <javatexan> was that the year of the robin hood movie?
[08:01] <javatexan> wait...ill look it up
[08:02] <javatexan> if it is robin hood, I don't know where the POT would come from
[08:03] <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
[08:05] <javatexan> mine is boring....i live in TX and I like coffee
[08:05] <javatexan> ;)
[08:06] <javatexan> which is why I am still up
[08:07] <javatexan> at 2:06am
[08:08] <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?
[08:09] <javatexan> fe and be
[08:09] <rhpot1991> right now I am just working on some scripts so gedit or vi
[08:10] <javatexan> okay...do you use the gnome ubuntu or the kde ubuntu
[08:10] <javatexan> does QT act different on one vs the other?
[08:14] <rhpot1991> I use gnome, and I don't think so
[08:16] <javatexan> cool...just curious.....so many questions
[09:25] <Daviey> javatexan: if you can install it on ubuntu - you can on mythbuntu
[09:29] <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
[09:30] <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
[11:17] <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
[15:39] <jduggan> hey anyone around?
[16:43] <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"
[16:50] <jduggan> beavis: i asked a question, nobody answered, i know how annoying it is seeing people repeat themselves
[16:51] <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
[16:53] <Dr_willis_> Hmm.. I got a 150. but ice never used the irblaster
[16:54] <Dr_willis_> I dont even use the remote. :( ive heard it works however.
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <jduggan> :P
[16:56] <Dr_willis_> I really hate STB's
[16:56] <jduggan> and me, but no choice in the matter
[16:57] <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.
[16:58] <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
[17:15] <Dr_willis_> Over my head. :) i can barely get MythTV working. heh heh.
[17:16] <Dr_willis_> bbl
[18:35] <winther> hi
[18:36] <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
[19:06] <beavis> superm1, there seems to be a problem with mythvideo today
[19:07] <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
[19:32] <jduggan> what version of ivtv does the latest mythbuntu ship?
[19:43] <hexxington> 1.0.2-2
[19:47] <Daviey> which needs updating for cards such as Nova 500 dvb-t to work well
[19:49] <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?
[19:53] <hexxington> Daviey, ivtv's for mpeg encoders, not dvb cards
[19:56] <Daviey> hexxington: sorry got confsed with v4l

[20:14] <Jonny88> o connectDatabase error was:Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES
[20:15] <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
[20:17] <gcleric> check your /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[20:19] <jduggan> anyone know how to get the irblaster on a pvr150 working in mythbuntu?
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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.
[20:22] <morphios> doh! ok
[20:22] <Dr_willis> Logical eh. :)
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <Tar1> I expect it can read SMB shares, but that would be it
[20:26] <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
[20:30] <morphios> thanks Dr it worked lol
[20:41] <Jonny88> how do I create database
[20:51] <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 ?
[20:52] <winther> does anybody know, if it is possible to use a mpeg2 stream as a source for mythtv?
[20:54] <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...
[21:07] <winther> can anybody tell me what a FreeBox Network Recorder is?
[21:12] <Tar1> looks like some sort of IPTV set-top box
[21:13] <jduggan> nobody has experience of pvr150's irblaster under mythbuntu?
[21:23] <winther> Tar1: thank you
[21:23] <winther> Tar1: do you know, if it is possible to use a stream as an input for mythtv?
[21:27] <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
[21:34] <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?
[21:35] <Tar1> you can open the tuner in VLC, but myth just writes streams to file
[21:36] <Tar1> so, no, not directly
[21:36] <winther> that makes my task difficult.
[21:37] <morphios> Can i ask when scanning Bev 91 what is the frequency poloraity and symbol rate? anyone know
[21:48] <morphios>  signal strength is 80% arounds and signal noise is always at 0% is that normal?
[21:49] <hexxington> some tuners mis-report values
[21:59] <morphios> So it could be normal for a nexus to always have 0 for noise signal
[21:59] <hexxington> maybe
[23:54] <MythbuntuGuest38> looking for some initial setup help, getting my hauppage 500 working
[23:55] <MythbuntuGuest38> mythtv is complaining saying tuner not available.
[23:57] <MythbuntuGuest38> guessing no one is active
