[00:00] any others? [00:00] any HD? [00:00] it's close enough to hook the pc to the tv nope just the one tuner card and no hd [00:00] you should be fine then [00:00] the pvr150 has a hardware encoder [00:01] just trying to decide if i want to spend the money for a state of the art htpc setup [00:01] so the only thing that would be taxing the system is comm flagging and playback [00:01] yeap [00:01] which on your specs wouldn't be that much cpu usage [00:01] vid card? [00:02] dual geforce 7600gt pci-e in sli mode [00:02] currently running 3 lcd flat panels [00:03] you are way fine for a pvr150 [00:03] you would be fine for HD also [00:03] just FYI [00:05] thanks. i also have a 3.0 ghz celeron setup but i don't think it has aenough processing power [00:05] that should have enough processing power for the PVR150 [00:05] easily [00:06] now u got me thinking...lol [00:06] any good htpc motherboards with built in dvi? [00:08] hmm [00:08] sec === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [00:10] theres lots of boards with that sort of thing. Probably want to look at size though too [00:10] i c alot of the htpc cases now accept micro and full size [00:11] right [00:11] but you could also go mini itx [00:11] which is pretty small [00:12] those are rather more expensive than others, though [00:13] true [00:13] but they can also be put just about anywhere [00:13] and many don't require a fan [00:13] mac mini > mini-itx [00:15] thanks i guess it's time to search the net [00:43] well going with a evga board with hdmi and dvi built in. a 3.2 celeron D 3.2 ghz and 1 gig of memory is 136 at newegg [00:45] uses a NVIDIA GeForce 7150 for onboard video [01:06] tgm4883_laptop: still looking for a db list? [01:07] nope, i pulled my recording schedules, recorded programs, and previously recorded [01:07] still transfering old shows, and updating my schedules to reflect the new channels [01:08] it's tough though for some shows, being that they aren't coming up in the next 14 days [01:08] stupid WGA [01:09] stupid ubuntu forums [01:09] my thread has slipped to page 3, 10 views, no replies [01:09] * rhpot1991 gets disgruntled too easily [01:11] I don't blame the WGA [01:11] they were getting ripped off [01:15] I dont care, I need my 24 :) [01:15] eh, 24 is over rated anyways [01:15] keep in mind I am a 24 fan [01:16] but there is absolutely no character development other than super hero Jack [01:16] as long as I get the shield at some point, all is good [01:26] http://consumerist.com/344547/microsoft-customer-service-calls-back-10-years-later [01:32] hello [01:40] 24?? when is 24 coming back on [01:41] haha [01:41] never [01:41] permanent hiatus [01:41] basically after the writers come back and they can present you a whole season without breaks, then you will see it [01:44] crappy strike [01:44] lol [01:44] ahh... a winter of reruns [01:51] we can thank all the reality tv lover [01:51] lovers [01:51] i hear ya [01:54] question about mythtv [01:55] os what question ;-) [01:55] osgood, ^ [01:56] i am having trouble with my mythtv install... does upgrading to mythbuntu reset all settings for myth [01:56] my tuner works... this I know [01:58] i think it is a sql problem [01:59] or the backend setup... #$@$ i dont know [02:04] osgood, no mythbuntu does not reset everything [02:06] yeah... im reading about it now... thats what i am gathering [02:07] any hardware guys in here? [02:24] hey guys [02:25] question concerning mythvideo [02:25] sometimes the video audio play in a foreign language..... [02:26] I can play the same video in xine and the audio is in english... [02:26] what do I need to do to get the audio in english? [02:33] sounds like it has multiple audio tracks [02:34] might be able to delete the non english ones with mp4box (apt-get install gpac) [02:34] not sure about player configurations, check the mailing list? [02:39] Can I use mythbuntu to stream to the internet? [02:40] why is myth playing the other language and xine is playing english? [02:40] I have xine as the player in myth [02:41] stream to? [02:42] ok I am away from home allot lately so I was considering setup mythbuntu and possibly using my blackberry to watch recorded video [02:48] yotux: you need to stream or put them on your blackberry to take with you? [02:49] I need to stream [02:49] I have a blackberry 7130 so I have very little store and no SD options :( [02:49] I have seen some mentions of hacking mythweb up to stream on wiki.mythtv.org [02:50] I was think about using the web interafce for mythtv and allowing outside access to it but I am new to myth [02:51] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Stream_mythtv_recordings_from_mythweb_using_flash_video [02:51] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Stream_mythtv_recordings_to_mobile_devices [02:51] can try messing with those [03:41] what version of mythtv does mythbuntu 7.10 use? [03:47] .20 [03:56] does the mythtv user have a password after typical installation....I know there is a password for mysql [04:02] is the mythtv user password the same as the mythtv mysql password? [04:42] can't get my pinnacle remote to work any advie [05:39] Evenin' folks [05:40] Wondering if anyone is running MythTv SVN and what thier thoughts on it are?? [05:49] when i try to play a movie (not throught mythtv) the screen is all green with some other colors. Would mythtv mess things up like codecs or somethign? [09:45] telee, nvidia driver bug [13:56] [13:57] Hallo alltogether! absolutely no audio-output on HDMI from the mythbuntu-FrontEnd. (video output works fine)! can any body help? please [14:02] Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H, [14:02] Onboard Graphics: Integrated in the nVIDIA GeForce 7100/nForce 630i chipset [14:02] The Mainboard-Manual states under HDMI-Port: [14:02] After installing the HDMI device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the HDMI-device. [14:03] How can I configure the system to get the proper audio-signal on the HDMI-output? [14:09] cat /proc/asound/cards [14:15] I try: cat /proc/asound/cards thanks! [14:16] that'll just tell you what sound cards have been detected in the system. it's not a full answer [14:22] Im trying to get an old capture card to work with MythTV. Mythbuntu has the card listed as supported hardware, but the MythTV Wiki doesn't. Is that a problem? [14:23] I'm getting these errors in my dmesg: [14:23] [ 24.360778] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [14:23] [ 24.535788] bttv: driver version 0.9.17 loaded [14:23] [ 24.535792] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture [14:23] [ 24.537437] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

I found by locate asound only /usr/bin/asoundconf and related files. [14:37] HDMI and sound are generated on the mainboard, no ectra-card is inserted [14:38] well without /proc/asound, you have no sound card support loaded, so that's probably a bad start [14:39] how to load, it may be agood step in a good direction [14:39] or how should the onboard-sound be accessed [14:41] the onboard-video works fine [14:41] try runnig alsaconf, it might tell you what sound hardware you have [14:41] okay alsaconf [14:41] actually, they don't ship that anymore. bah [14:42] what does "asoundconf list" say? [14:43] asoundconf list extited without any information, maybe nothing is present [14:43] nothing is detected, certainly [14:44] try "modprobe snd-intel-hda model=acer" [14:45] snd-hda-intel, sorry [14:53] sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer exited without output, sucessfull? [14:55] and: cat /proc/asound/cards states: --- no soundcards --- , absolutely correct! [14:56] no, it's not correct, you want it to report the hdmi audio [14:57] yes it should find the onboard sound [14:59] okay, try this [14:59] install linux-backports-modules [15:03] I tried: sudo install linux-backports-modules and got: install: missing destination file operand after `linux-backports-modules' [15:03] what destination is good? [15:04] when i say "install this" i mean "use your package manager and install the package named" [15:04] but it doesn't look like it'll help anyway, there's nothing useful ni there [15:06] I just checked the box of the mainboard and found two CDs with drivers and utilities. are they usefull under mythbuntu? could it help to get the sound? [15:07] how to access the packagemanager under mythbuntu? is there a commandline input? [15:10] wek, there are three or four command-line package managers installed by default. "apt-get" would be the best known. aptitude would be the best [15:11] o yes I remember [15:12] usually I access the package-manager by menu [15:22] root@uhu:/home/wek# apt-get install linux-backports-modules worked [15:23] asoundconf list responds: Names of available sound cards: [15:24] and no name is displayed [15:26] there's no obvious sign that the sound is being detected then [15:33] maybe after a reboot audio is available, I will try [16:32] it partly worked, at least analog sound is produced by the mainboard, HDMI-sound was not detected by the TV-set (Philips 23pf9531) [16:34] it's a start [16:34] run "alsamixer" and look for a setting called something like IEC958 [16:34] The Philips 32pf9531 looks good by design, seems good by hardware is really bad if you want to configure the external connections [16:34] tgm4883: were you able to add anything to the xbmc main menu? [16:35] yep [16:36] i had to ask over in #xbmc [16:36] the guide is way out of date [16:36] how did you do it? [16:36] heh, figures [16:36] sec, let me find the right filename [16:38] heh, xbox is off now [16:38] I'm pretty sure is was Main.xml [16:38] just tell me later [16:38] in the same dir [16:38] mine is off too, so I can't poke around [16:39] yea, there are a few changes [16:39] how do you like it so far functionality wise? [16:39] the xbmc guys had a laugh about how old that guide was [16:39] pretty nice [16:39] heh, anything else that should be changed? [16:39] i havent tried live tv yet though [16:39] sec, let me look at the guide [16:39] k [16:40] yea it's not the execute attribute anymore [16:40] that was removed like 2 years ago [16:40] What i did was I changed "Programs" to "TV" [16:41] and it actually doesn't say Programs either [16:41] is says [16:41] 0 [16:41] you just plugged TV into there? [16:42] yep [16:42] 0 is a built in name for Programs [16:42] ah ok [16:42] sec, just turned the xbox on [16:43] it's Home.xml [16:44] alright thanks [16:44] I'll mess with it later [16:44] in the PAL or PAL16x9 dir [16:44] depending on your screen ratio [16:44] * rhpot1991_laptop doesn't have any fancy tv's [16:45] and you want to edit this area [16:45] My Programs normal push button [16:45] or pictues, music, etc [16:45] but notice the push button part [16:45] and instead of execute, you have this [16:45] xbmc.runscript(q:\scripts\xbmcmythtv\default.py) [16:46] oh yea, the command to run it in the guide was wrong too [16:46] ya I had noticed that [16:46] so yea, I just changed the and and was done [16:46] gonna redo the wiki, or no? [16:46] although I could change the picture too, as it still shows up with the Programs picture [16:47] I was thinking about it [16:47] just editing a few parts [16:47] prob a good idea [16:47] oh, the samba part is really easy with mythbuntu :) [16:47] cause you can enable it from MCC [16:48] it tosses shares in there already IIRC [16:48] though I think I removed them all [16:48] I think MCC might have used default shares, instead of where I had mine, could have just been an out of date config though [16:48] well MCC enables the recording dir to be a share [16:49] and sets the proper security level and such [16:49] ya I think it pointed mine at /var/mythtv/recordings [16:49] or /var/lib/mythtv/recordings [16:49] most likely it queries the db for that info [16:49] ya thats it [16:49] same with videos/music/pictures [16:50] all in /var/lib/mythtv [16:50] where mine don't exist [16:50] yep [16:50] backend only? [16:51] master backend w/ a frontend [16:51] I'm running the ubuntu apt packages though, not sure that it matters [16:51] shouldn't [16:52] did you set up the right areas in mythvideo, etc? [16:52] yep [16:52] strange [16:52] sounds like a bug [16:53] I think the box was upgraded from feisty to gutsy [16:53] shouldn't matter if it's being queried from the db, which is sounds like it's not [16:53] sounds like it's just using defaults [16:53] that it does [16:53] hmmm mythweb doesn't list those out [16:54] makes me wonder what happens if your recordings are not in /var/lib/mythtv/recordings [16:54] my recordings and videos obviously work, since I use them constantly [16:54] well at that point you have an empty samba share [16:54] I went in there and looked at that said neat something setup shares for me, then deleted them cause they were all empty [16:55] is it a safe assumption that most users will have at least one empty user job that I can use? [16:56] or, is there any way to create another (I know there are 4 available by default) [16:56] hmm [16:56] i'd assume that most users have 4 empty user jobs [16:56] looking to hitch in and use that functionality thats already there [16:57] directhex|bs alsa mixer shows IEC958 I tried to change the stae from Off to On till now I didnt find a working method [16:57] hmmm wiki still not displaying my page in search results [16:59] tgm4883: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Plugins/MythExport if you want to mess with it on your psp [17:00] I will look man alsamixer, and a wiki-page about alsamixer [17:04] ehh, did a little change on the wiki. Didn't add the db issues though [17:13] db issues were elsewhere [17:13] and in the forums for the mythtv scripts [17:15] mentioned elsewhere that is [17:17] I have a sever hatred for the ubuntu forums [17:49] rhpot1991_laptop werd [17:49] i totally agree with you [17:51] The best way to describe it is "amagawdd, i am totally new to linux and i don't know how to read basic documentation and howtos, But because ubuntu means "respect" or something you are forced to deal with my shti and cant complain or like ill totally threaten to go back to windows" [17:52] I swear everything that isn't a basic linux newbie question never gets answered [17:52] I should move my thread to the mythbuntu forum, maybe it will get some more action there [17:52] yeah well. I've noticed a steep decline in quality of the topics discussed on the ubuntu forums [17:53] It used to be fairly intelligent and the forums contained some valuable information [17:53] there are some decent howtos if you search [17:54] nowaydays it's just 1 million threads about "Why doesnt my $_random_exoctic_hardware not work" [17:54] but it seems to be more annoying than anything to post something specific and expect to get a response [17:54] eh [17:54] false expectations [17:55] I don't see an option to move this, prob need a mod to do it [17:55] I used to really like ubuntu, but nowadays the os seems to become retarded [17:56] that and it seems that features are chosen over stability [17:56] eh, hasn't ubuntu always been like that though? [17:56] which in my opinoin is worse than selling crack to schoolgirls [17:56] if you want stability, stick with debian [17:57] yeah or howabout you don't ship broken code [17:57] that and the whole circle jerk around mark shuttleworth [17:57] well I can't argue with you there [17:58] * rhpot1991_laptop points at the ubuntu amd64 installer with its segfaulting splash screen [17:58] i mean, I love linux [17:58] but It's a commmunity thing, and i hate making some rich asshole richer [18:00] so there were no distros "shipped with broken code" before ubuntu? [18:00] ubuntu gets a bad rap [18:01] just use a differnet distro, and stop the whinning [18:01] help fix bugs, or apt-get moving [18:02] "I love linux but hate ubuntu" [18:02] bizarre [18:03] mythbuntu.org seems to be down - is there an alternate download-location for mythbuntu-images? [18:04] try google? [18:05] why do ppl use google last, as opposed to first? [18:07] blkorpheus: I did - I find lots of pointers to mythbuntu.org, a shop selling cds in canada as well as torrents for alpha 3 [18:07] blkorpheus thats what i mean [18:07] killefiz, let me get you a link [18:08] I'm aware of difficulties and frustration [18:08] I often feel the same [18:08] but what else to do [18:08] ? [18:08] make it better or distro hop [18:08] I'm through hopping [18:08] and I want bleeding edge [18:09] so I stay [18:09] ymmv [18:09] blkorpheus true, but it never hurts to voice criticism [18:09] as long as it is constructive [18:10] very true [18:10] killefiz, you do realize ANY ubuntu iso will get you mythv? [18:11] just download the server iso, and apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop or some such name [18:11] blkorpheus: yes - I know that and I will fall back to using a server cd and going from there [18:12] but I'm about to set up a new frontend and I'd like to see what a default mythbuntu looks like. Because in my experience installing a ubuntu-something from scratch gives you not 100% the same result as installing server and adding xxx-desktop [18:12] altough the difference are mostly cosmetic [18:12] that has not been my experience [18:13] but if you search torrent sites for mythbuntu...you'll likely get a hit [18:13] doing so now [18:14] bingo! [18:14] I think I found one [18:14] x86 or amd64? [18:14] http://www.mininova.org/search/mythbuntu/seeds [18:14] :) [18:14] where there is a will ... [18:15] thanks [18:15] my pleasure [18:15] hmm ... x86 or amd64 good question. I guess I'll go with i386 for now ... it's only a frontend and it only has 512 mb [18:15] true [18:16] but you gotta love 64bit [18:16] you can always throw memory at it later [18:16] there are more seeds for the 64bit verison [18:17] I have started the download already and it's quite fast - 10% through already and 660 KB/s [18:18] sweet [18:22] * killefiz considers trying the trunk-feed to see if he can get multirec to work [19:21] hmmmm apple dropped the price of appletv's [19:21] http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=7B723644&node=home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tv [19:21] starting at 229 [19:22] thanks byby [19:23] tgm4883: would make a good stepup from the xbox === jimmy51 is now known as jimmy51_office === JThundley_ is now known as JThundley [22:43] if I remember correctly there were plans on integrating Totem and MythTV in some way for Ubuntu Hardy. Anyone know how that's going? [23:04] wait a minute....shouldn't I have a mythtv user too? [23:05] or is it just a mythtv user group [23:10] user nd group [23:11] and === JThundley_ is now known as JThundley [23:56] is there anyway to blacklist intel_agp module from loading on the mythbuntu install process?
