[00:40] hi, anyone know why only 4 channels scan in on my new mythbuntu set up? [01:25] can someone help me with a font problem? [01:27] I try to set up mythtv and the font is so large that I can't see the whole screen [01:36] is nuvexport installed with mythbuntu 7.10? [01:45] no [01:47] thanks superm1 :) [01:47] TazgodX, i might have put it in the weekly builds repo though [01:47] i forget [01:47] i know i added it to hardy [01:47] hmmm [01:48] well i can install manually...or try :) [01:48] well installign manually is more trouble than you are expecting actually [01:48] because you need to get the right checkout [01:48] that still works with -fixes [01:48] haha [01:48] wow [01:48] i know i had a problem last time i tried [01:48] here its on this ppa [01:48] https://edge.launchpad.net/~ipod-touch/+archive [01:51] working on getting your ipod touch to work under linux? :) [01:51] yes it does thanks to the stuff i've added there [01:51] nuvexport is there too because i was using it to export recordings for it [01:51] import album art too? [01:51] yes [01:51] oh...interesting [01:51] only stuff that doesn't work is photos at this point (afaik) [01:51] last i saw i couldn't get album art to sync [01:52] have you seen the wiki page [01:52] explaining it all? [01:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [01:53] i do love my iphone..but been stuck in windows almost continuously since getting it because of itunes and album art syncing [01:53] * TazgodX starts reading the wiki [02:02] well, i have to leave now. but my goal when i come home is to FINALLY finish setting up my cable box...through firewire, and get nuvexport running and working.(this is to remind me) :) [02:03] hmmm, I thought I just downloaded nuvexport from sourceforge and it just worked? [04:12] hey [04:12] anyone know why my audio sounds really high pitch and tweety? [04:13] i have my audio from tuner ran to cd-in on mother board and outputted via sound card [04:29] i have similar problem, but i think its related to using spdif to av receiver. someone referred me toa site to upconvert through sox from 44.1k to 48k, and my music sounds a little fast and high pitched. [04:30] slestak .. its jesse from the other night [04:31] ive screwed sth up on the http server on my mythbox trying to get pypmyadmin installed. [04:31] hey man, somehow i have irssi messed up, i need to leave and come back. brb [04:32] Mythbox: hows your machine doing? [04:32] ok [04:32] its alright... kinda [04:32] i got the sound working [04:32] only sounds like shit lol [04:32] its real tweety dunno how to fix it [04:32] mine too, recording is working. my sound is ok on recorded videos, but playing audio sounds a little fast. [04:32] maybe the audio driver its using ? [04:33] im using alsa [04:33] same [04:33] i dont know if its speed or pitch or what [04:33] seems like it keeps up w/ lips fine [04:33] just off key [04:34] you think an external dvd on a mythbox could completely replace a typical dvd player connected to the tv? my lg dvd busted and i dont want to replace it [04:34] my slimline case doesnt have a dvd, so i would have to use usb2 [04:34] yeah that'd do fine [04:34] that'd work fine [04:35] mythbuntu should have full support for it [04:35] i got a circuit city coupon in email, so im eyeing a sony external thats supposed to write dvd ay 20x [04:35] kool [04:35] you any good with apache configuration? [04:35] never used it [04:36] wait.. what app does myth use to replay recorded video [04:36] when i go to the ip address of my mythbox, i get a directory listing showing apache2-default instead of the apache test page [04:36] maybe that ap is just using the wrong playback functionality? [04:37] for me or you? [04:37] your sound prob? [04:37] yeah [04:37] well you have the prob too dont you? [04:37] that is set in Setup -> Playback [04:38] i setup mplayer in mine, and i did have to tweak it considerably, it had wrong -vo and -ao [04:38] lol i'm using mythdora right now.. its slightly different [04:38] hmm [04:39] i need to head over to regular ubuntu support to work out this apache problem. [04:39] good luck with your sound issue. [04:40] how does your playback sound at regular desktop, out of mythdora [04:40] seems alright.. i think i'm gonna try to use regular ubuntu and just install the myth tv packs [04:41] not mythbuntu on ubuntu but the regular myth tv [04:42] it'll prob work in whatever your comfartbale in. [04:43] yeah but if its a driver issue wouldnt it stand a better chance of working properly in a mainstream distro? [04:43] installing mythtv on regular ubuntu is fine [04:44] yeah but u think the audio prob is a driver prob? [04:44] or just a playback issue [04:44] thats why there should just be ubuntu [04:44] ppl get confused with 90 names [04:44] mythdora [04:44] * blkorpheus rolls eyes [04:44] codecs [04:44] really [04:44] ? [04:44] blkorpheus: i set the autologin to use my standard login name. is there any harm in adding the mythtv user ot the aproriate group and let the frontend use the same user as backend? [04:44] I have no idea [04:44] just a guess [04:45] if i have the audio go straight out of the card its fine but its way ahead of video and i cant record it [04:45] slestak, myth is going to do its ting [04:45] you just act normal [04:45] if that makes sense? [04:45] when i have it run thru my audio card it comes out tweety [04:45] slestak, i don't have a login for a mythtv user [04:45] although there has to be such a user, that user does not get a shell [04:46] it never "login" [04:46] slestak, copy? [04:47] i want to ge the fromtend off of my regular login, because i vnc into this box regularly, and do not need the frontend to launch when i am remote and just want a gnome desktop [04:47] so i guess i need a new user that does have a shell just to run the frontend. [04:47] the frontend does not start unless you start it [04:47] mine does [04:48] should not [04:48] it is a setting in the Myth Control Center in mythbuntu [04:48] unless you meanthe mythtvwelcome [04:48] and that is not considered the frontend [04:48] lemme see where that setting is. [04:48] it will start the frontend [04:49] but the mythtvwelcome will turn it self off if the frontend does not start in a few minutes [04:49] when I log into my machine, the frontend does not startup [04:49] maybe you are chosing the mythbuntu login session [04:49] blkorpheus can you help me when you're done helping him? [04:49] just don't use that session [04:50] Mythbox, I will try, but atm I don't have an educated guess from what I have read from you? [04:50] we just determined that user does not have a shell, and i agree with that becasue i am using gdm with facechooser, and mythtv is not listed. [04:51] I installed some mythubuntu login or gdm, so I have a selection [04:51] I have yet to login with it [04:51] ahh [04:51] but I suspect it would start the frontend off rip [04:51] alright well I've got my audio running in from my tuner.. seems to be perfect when it comes out of the tuner then somewhere between it being recorded by my sound card and being transmitted by my sound card it gets jacked up [04:52] but since I use my regular login session, I never see the frontend unless I start it [04:52] so I guess if this was a mythubuntu box first [04:52] then I would yes, have to create a new user [04:52] or [04:52] tell mythubuntu-gdm to apt-get lost;) [04:52] mythbutnu does auto login of the user and has mythfrontend run at login for that user doesnt it? [04:52] and use a the regular gdm [04:53] but you'd still need a non mythtv user [04:53] Mythbox, yes [04:53] and I think I have your answer [04:54] i'll see you all later, i need to fix apache [04:54] you need to turn on audio sync, because it seems you have a how shall I say, "depreciated" tunercard? [04:55] alright how do i do that? [04:55] my audio comes straight from the board [04:55] turn it on inthe frontend [04:55] I suggest reading the mythtv wiki pages [04:55] thats where I read about [04:55] in windows my audio was able to port via pci bus but in linux it will only do direct line [04:55] even if you search google for audio not in sync with video mythtv [04:55] you'll get gold [04:56] alright thanks man [04:56] what kind of tuner card you have? [04:56] well its not so much a sync prob [04:56] and did you check its linux compatiblity first? [04:56] i can get my audio to sync now.. it just sounds like ass [04:56] yeah its good [04:56] its the dvico fusionHDTV 3 GOLD [04:56] what kind of card? [04:56] and sound should never "suck ass":) [04:56] its highly supported and both SD & HD work [04:56] cool [04:57] the mythtv wiki is gold [04:57] i can jump from an hd channel to an sd channel w/ hardly any wait to go from one functionality to the other [04:57] nice [04:57] just SD audio sucks [04:57] but you will need to sync [04:57] because of the sound coming from the card [04:58] or you can ask in #mythtv-users [04:58] but it is synced [04:58] ok [04:58] its in time with video, just shitty? [04:58] yeah [04:58] timing is great [04:58] hmm [04:58] good [04:58] but quality is the shitty part lol [04:59] darn [04:59] maybe something to do w/ the encoding? [04:59] you should join #mythtv-users [04:59] I doubt it [04:59] good resources in there? [04:59] for sure [04:59] thats THE guys there [04:59] lol [05:00] alrigh thanks man [05:00] this channel, not so much [05:00] np [05:00] lol yeah guess mythbuntu doesnt quite have the fan base [05:00] it does [05:00] in the end i'd like to use arch linux for my box [05:00] but splintering help is not efficient [05:01] mythtv-users reccomended this channel because I slipped and mentioned ubuntu [05:01] DON"T mention ubuntu [05:01] just speak of mythtv specifics [05:01] leave the dora part off as well [05:01] lol [05:01] I'd say mythtv-users is better for general mythtv stuff, more people in there to see your question [05:01] ok [05:01] unless its some ubuntu specific problem, then it belongs in here [05:01] basically [05:02] right [05:02] well i've had the same prob in like 3 OSs lol [05:02] then it aint OS relaed [05:02] yours the sound problem? [05:02] sp [05:03] yeah [05:03] i dunno if its driver related [05:03] i've only used mini distros geared toward mythtv [05:03] problem only in *nix? [05:03] i almost wanna try ubuntu w/ freevo [05:03] maybe that work [05:03] no had the prob in windows too [05:03] general rule, get it working in the OS first [05:03] then worry about myth [05:03] only 1 thing would work w/ it correctly [05:04] sounds like hardware then [05:04] no its just weird [05:04] i cant get myth to record the audio and play it back w/o it sounding distorted [05:05] if i port the audio directly to my speakers it sounds great [05:05] but when myth records it and replays it it goes down hill [05:06] so the sound is only bad on recordings? [05:06] its bad on play back too [05:06] myth plays back "recorded" data [05:06] recorded by myth? [05:07] have you tried dvds or other sources to see if they have the same problem? [05:07] there is a slight lag between what is actually being trasmitted that your pc recieves and what appears on your screen [05:07] hence having the ability to rewind "live" tv [05:07] ya, live tv is actually recorded [05:07] no i havent but i'm going to try [05:07] try that [05:07] might be your tuner [05:07] no the audio straight from tuner sounds great [05:08] as in live tv? [05:08] or some other method [05:08] its gotta be w/ either the sound card which plays PCI sources fine [05:08] or its gotta be having to do w/ the recording of the sound [05:08] you can try switching from the internal player to something like xine or mplayer if you are convinced that its a myth problem [05:09] thats what i'm gonna compare w/ the dvd give me a sec [05:09] i'm reconf my tuner card [05:11] what does deinterlace playback mean? lol [05:13] basically smooths it out if you have jittery playback [05:13] I notice ripping on things with a lot of movement, deinterlacing fixes that [05:13] ohhhh [05:14] may be able to use that on my HD [05:14] noticed a little flaw on HD playback [05:14] "live" playback that is [05:14] didnt try playing a recorded [05:14] box fast enough for HD? [05:14] yeah [05:14] fusion hd 3 doesnt take much [05:24] I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!! [05:24] go on [05:24] it was set to compress the audio to MP3 [05:24] if i leave it uncompressed its fine [05:24] ah [05:24] i dunno tho.. [05:24] prolly should compress it [05:25] I don't think min ei scompressed [05:25] ok [05:25] all depends on how much space you have [05:26] I don't think mine is either [05:26] 500g lol [05:27] mpeg2 hardware encoder here, stream type mpeg-2 ps [05:27] ah wait, I'm in video [05:28] I don't see any mp3 option for my audio [05:28] are you transcoding? [05:28] weird [05:28] i think [05:28] I have seen it in the transcoding profiles, that you can do mp3 [05:29] i dunno brb [05:29] I don't transcode anything by default [05:29] I do [05:29] but may turn it off [05:31] I guess I should only transcode the ones without autoepire set to them [05:31] smaller file for the keepers [05:31] depends how long you keep them and how much space you have [05:31] true [05:31] speaking of which, its transcoding now [05:31] I don't transcode at all, but I don't collect anything currently [05:31] basically compressing your recordings [05:32] degrading qquality of recordings by remocing frames [05:32] quality [05:32] removing [05:32] this damn keyboard [05:32] there is a lossless mpeg2 transcode [05:33] I have used that and it looks perfect to me [05:33] its a checkbox under your transcode profile [06:08] thx [06:11] np [06:11] * rhpot1991 prepares to break his router for no good reason [06:11] ha [06:11] bored huh [06:11] I like to mess around with things dangerously just as I should be going to sleep [06:12] makes for an eventful night [06:16] I upgraded to hardy like that [06:16] got no sleep [06:16] but got it workingsweet [06:16] mythtv was a late not mission as well [06:16] nite [06:17] now I'm breaking kde4 [06:17] hmmm what did I just format [06:17] thats a great question to ask yourself [06:17] scary question [06:19] indeed [06:20] didn't write my partition changes thats why [06:20] went to make a file system and it said the device didn't exist, scared me real good [06:42] that was less painful than I thought it would be [07:53] howdy....how do you get mythtv to wake up after screensaver comes on with remote? [07:53] reboot and disable the screen saver? [07:53] no reason to have it on [07:54] can prob skip the reboot thing, but you might need a mouse or keyboard to wake her up [07:54] wont burn in? [07:54] well if you think about it, do you want the screensaver kicking in when you are watching a show? [07:54] good point [07:54] ;) [07:55] well I have pretty good script for converting .tivo to .mp4 [07:55] nice [07:55] using ffmpeg or something else? [07:56] i still think I want to convert from my messed up mpeg to good mpeg and then rip out commercials before going to mp4 but its okay [07:56] mencoder [07:56] get anywhere with the commercial problems? [07:57] i put that on backburner for now.....as it is my movies go from 5 or 6 G to 1 or 2 without removing any commericals...I cant wait to do that to though [07:58] what was the name of that program you use to get the stuff from tivo again? [07:59] galleon right? [07:59] i download the .tivo files using galleon and toGo plugin....I decode .tivo to bad .mpeg with decodeTivo, I then convert from bad mpeg to mp4 via mencoder [08:06] hey [08:07] Good morning! [08:09] thanks for the info javatexan, passed it on to my brother. I'm off to bed have a good night. [08:09] you too....good night [08:10] Will I get the VFD on my Antec Fusion case working with the lcdproc from adept, or do I need to compile it myself as described on the mythtv wiki? Both versions are 0.5.2 [08:12] woo master back end problems [09:00] .what types of files will mythtv commercial flag? will it flag a mp4? [09:00] h264 === Helvasca_ is now known as Helvasca === Helvasca is now known as beauty === beauty is now known as Helvsaca [13:28] does mythbuntu use LVM ? i want to move over from mythdora [13:29] and have used LVM setup on my data disks [13:30] Ubuntu can use LVM partitions...http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [13:30] cheers === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [20:26] I have some pretty good mp4s now thank you very much for your help...I've got one noticable problem....when the camera pans....I see noticable jumping, what would cause that? is it the ouput framerate? [20:26] i have to fix it...it might cause motion sickness....LOL [20:34] hi [20:54] whats the command to startup mythtv backend setup in terminal? [21:03] mythtv-setup [21:03] that one? [21:14] think so... [21:15] Is there any way i can become something like a semi official mythbuntu pvr retailer [21:22] famicon: not at the moment :( [21:22] well, i got everything ready [21:22] such as [21:22] ? [21:22] i got suppliers, hardware setups [21:22] cable cards etc [21:24] oh, i got a creditcard processor + store too [21:24] its all ready [21:24] i just have nothing to sell :( [21:25] And yet, no freebies for the devs :( [21:25] well, im paying it all out of my own pocket man [21:26] I can donate a portion of each sale to mythbuntu [21:26] i guess that with 2 or 3 customers i can bootstrap this stuff [21:27] You know there's nothing stopping you just selling mythbuntu anyway :) [21:27] but we would certainly like some feedback, at the very least! [21:28] eh [21:28] how about we work together [21:28] i mean [21:28] i use the stuff on a daily basis [21:28] and i can perhaps forward support tickets directly to you guys [21:29] via launchpad :) [21:30] So you'd also be bug fixing? [21:30] yeah pretty much [21:31] its not the first project i've worked on [21:31] cool [21:31] some of my stuff is allready in the ubuntu repos [21:33] I have some pretty good mp4s now thank you very much for your help...I've got one noticable problem....when the camera pans....I see noticable jumping, what would cause that? is it the ouput framerate? [21:33] i have to fix it...it might cause motion sickness....LOL [22:59] hi can anyone help me understand why my channels are ALL scrambled in mythtv? [23:30] famicon, talk with foxbuntu___ [23:30] superm1 hmmm [23:30] he was going down the same route of such things [23:30] yay [23:30] people to work with! [23:31] yeah i'm sure he will be very appreciative and helpful to get off and running with it [23:32] yeah, that and starting stuff like that on your own just plain blows [23:33] noonan [23:33] are you watching Digital tv [23:34] famicon: I'm trying to get my first ever mythtv install to work - do you mean right now? [23:34] well you complained your channels were all scrambled [23:35] i cant help you unless i know what kind of signal you are trying to pick up[ [23:35] oh, cool, yeah, it might be digital, i'm not exactly sure - I have an old tv [23:35] ok well do you use a set top box [23:35] it's funny, I can scan my channels only if backend setup is set to PAL [23:35] yeah, there is one upstairs but we watch tv without it downstairs just fine [23:36] it's direct from the wall to the tv - an old tv too [23:36] well, just because it automagically works doesnt mean it will work elsewhere [23:36] which tuner card are you using [23:37] pvr 150 [23:38] so you are using a hauptpage pvr 150 [23:38] yeah, i've considered the possib.. yes i am [23:38] ok [23:38] you hooked that up to cable tv [23:39] no, I have that hooked up to the cable line, and I'm trying to watch on the monitor [23:40] well, im afraid i can't really help you with that one [23:40] when i scan in set up, with NTSC i only get two, sometimes 4 channels - all badly snowy [23:40] I can help you with digital tv [23:40] famicon: ok, thanks [23:40] but I'm not familiar with US cable [23:40] yeah, it's weird [23:40] foxxbuntu are you there? [23:40] yeah, i think it might be the card itself or the drivers [23:41] well [23:41]
