| telee | lime4x4 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4188422 and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/22924 i dont know if this is of much hjelp though | 00:07 |
| lime4x4 | i got the graphic card working. Had to install the 169 nvidia drivers | 00:10 |
| lime4x4 | but i have no sound and over half the hardware isn't detected. I should've checked more into it before buying this htpc board. just saw nvidia and i thought it was an older model guess not..lol | 00:11 |
| telee | are those the restricted drivers | 00:11 |
| telee | hehe | 00:11 |
| telee | did you dl alsa? | 00:11 |
| lime4x4 | the restricted drivers from ubuntu don't work. had to install the latest drivers from nvdia.com | 00:11 |
| dannyboy79 | I am trying to update-modules && rmmod ivtv && modprobe ivtv and it says ivtv is in use. how can I solve this? | 00:11 |
| lime4x4 | i wil try that | 00:12 |
| frank23 | recordings sometimes start appearing as a static screen of crap until I restart X. any ideas on how to 'reset' this without restarting X? | 00:12 |
| lime4x4 | alsa-base is installed | 00:13 |
| frank23 | the menu still works fine | 00:13 |
| dannyboy79 | i added options ivtv yuv_buffers=32 mpg_buffers=16 vbi_buffers=16 pcm_buffers=16 dec_osd_buffers=2 to the /etc/modprobe.conf so that I could get rid of buffer full errors. | 00:13 |
| lime4x4 | when i ntype alsamixer i get no device found | 00:13 |
| telee | are you in synaptic? | 00:14 |
| telee | lime4x4 | 00:14 |
| lime4x4 | no command line | 00:14 |
| telee | oh try synaptic... search alsa.... and it will show up other apps that you may need. you could need to get alsamixer too or something | 00:14 |
| telee | search alsa in synaptic | 00:14 |
| dannyboy79 | can onyone help with adding options to the ivtv module for a PVR-350? | 00:15 |
| lime4x4 | ok i will try that | 00:15 |
| dannyboy79 | trying to add options for ivtv module in /etc/modprobe.conf, is that correct? Also how do I rrmod ivtv module. it complains it's in use? | 00:23 |
| lime4x4 | telee: i got the sound working. had to install the linux-backports-module. Still have a alot of devices that aren't detected yet but atleast i have the base system up and running | 00:25 |
| lime4x4 | also by the way i tried hardy and that had the same problem with hardware detection | 00:27 |
| dannyboy79 | can anyone help please? | 00:32 |
| dannyboy79 | I am trying to add options for ivtv module. can anyone help please. | 00:35 |
| npurciful | hows it going | 01:45 |
| lime4x4 | how do i adjust my video settings for a wide screen tv 51" mythbuntu detects it as a hitachi ptv resolution set to 1920x1080. connected by a dvi cable.I have mythtv setup to use widescreen 16:9 i have 3 inches of black bars at the top and bottom when whatching tv and when mythtv menus i can't c all the options cause it over streches the image | 02:22 |
| superm1 | welcome to dvi overscan | 02:26 |
| superm1 | three options | 02:26 |
| superm1 | 1) switch to vga | 02:26 |
| superm1 | 2) adjust the size mythfrontend is allowed to take up (other apps will still suffer this fate) | 02:26 |
| superm1 | 3) try to build a custom mode line to work around it | 02:26 |
| lime4x4 | well tv has no vga connection.the motherboard uses vga,dvi and hdmi | 02:27 |
| superm1 | then your best bet is probably 2 | 02:28 |
| superm1 | unless you can find a modeline to satisfy 3 | 02:28 |
| lime4x4 | i do have an adapter that goes from vga to component thou | 02:28 |
| superm1 | that picture likely will suffer overscan problems too | 02:29 |
| lime4x4 | geez just when i thought i was geting some where...lol | 02:29 |
| javatexan | hey guys | 02:30 |
| lime4x4 | spent 4 days getting this htpc motherboard working since it's not supported by gutsy | 02:30 |
| superm1 | lime4x4, yeah its unfortunate the way dvi is handled on tvs | 02:30 |
| lime4x4 | u think hdmi would be better? | 02:30 |
| superm1 | that's why i'm greatful that my tv has a vga port :) | 02:30 |
| superm1 | likely would perform the same since hdmi == dvi +audio | 02:31 |
| javatexan | I am running lirc, I used irw to find out which buttons I needed to change, and I changed the .lircrc to have repeat 1 and delay 2, ive restarted lirc and FE........But repeat doesnt seem to be working, am I missing something | 02:31 |
| lime4x4 | ok i guess it's back to the drawing board yet again...lol | 02:32 |
| superm1 | lime4x4, well for now change the settings in myth | 02:32 |
| superm1 | and things should be more usable | 02:32 |
| lime4x4 | well do | 02:32 |
| superm1 | javatexan, modify the proper lircrc | 02:33 |
| superm1 | probably in ~/.mythtv/lircrc | 02:33 |
| superm1 | or in hardy in ~/.lirc/ | 02:33 |
| javatexan | 7.10? | 02:33 |
| javatexan | okay...I'll try the ~/.mythtv/lircrc | 02:34 |
| lime4x4 | okay next task anyone knows how to play a mp3 thru xmms when the mps is stored remotely? I have all my audio on the mythtv box | 02:36 |
| superm1 | you still use xmms? | 02:37 |
| superm1 | didn't realize anyone still used that | 02:37 |
| lime4x4 | yeah i like the interface | 02:38 |
| superm1 | well it shouldn't be any different than mounting it locally | 02:38 |
| superm1 | via nfs | 02:38 |
| superm1 | or cifs | 02:38 |
| lime4x4 | the only one that works is amarok | 02:39 |
| lime4x4 | all my folders on the mythtv box are using samba | 02:39 |
| lime4x4 | i like xmms cause i use gdesklets with the xmms plugin | 02:40 |
| superm1 | than mount it using smbfs or cifs | 02:44 |
| superm1 | and you'll be fine | 02:44 |
| lime4x4 | ok thanks | 02:45 |

| toorima | is there a setting in the control center for mythweb over https or is it do-it-yourself? | 05:25 |

| Aquahallic_ | Mornin' folks | 15:50 |
| Aquahallic_ | I installed mythtv-frontend on my ubuntu... when I fire it up it comes up then it goes to scaling images.. and then just closes... in my log file I see 'Ran out of GART memory (for 1048576)' | 15:52 |
| Aquahallic_ | anyone seen this before? | 15:52 |
| laga | which log file? | 15:52 |
| Aquahallic_ | mythfrontend log | 15:52 |
| Aquahallic_ | when it started crashing I set it to output a logfile | 15:53 |
| directhex | what video card & driver? | 15:54 |
| Aquahallic_ | ATI Radeon 9700 and I'm not using restricted drivers | 15:54 |
| Aquahallic_ | here's the WEIRD thing..... | 15:54 |
| Aquahallic_ | it WAS working | 15:54 |
| Aquahallic_ | I'm using compiz fusion... and it was working fine | 15:58 |
| Aquahallic_ | I've set some visuals on my windows minimizing and things.. | 15:58 |
| laga | disable compiz fusion? | 15:58 |
| Aquahallic_ | well.. it was working with compiz fusion fine | 15:59 |
| Aquahallic_ | let me turn off these window visuals and see if maybe they have ahold of something it wants??? | 15:59 |
| laga | like, memory? :) | 15:59 |
| Aquahallic_ | hmmm | 16:01 |
| Aquahallic_ | that didn't fix it... | 16:01 |
| Aquahallic_ | this is also in the log at the bottom | 16:01 |

| Aquahallic_ | TOP says I have 220 meg left open | 16:03 |
| Aquahallic_ | where on earth do I adjust that? | 16:03 |
| Aquahallic_ | LOL | 16:03 |
| laga | in xorg.conf maybe | 16:04 |
| laga | google can help here, too | 16:04 |
| laga | i don't use compiz fusion and i don't like the free radeon driver either so i can't tell you much abouit that stuff :) | 16:04 |
| laga | s/abouit/about/ | 16:04 |
| Aquahallic_ | :P | 16:05 |
| * Aquahallic_ starts diggin | 16:05 | |
| directhex | GART memory would elate to the mapping between the AGP bus and the video memory on your card | 16:06 |
| Aquahallic_ | gotcha' | 16:06 |
| Aquahallic_ | I think I might have found it... looks like it is a xorg.conf entry | 16:06 |
| Aquahallic_ | so would that be the same as the "AGP Aperature" | 16:07 |
| Aquahallic_ | what are you folks thoughts on using the restricted drivers??? | 16:11 |
| Aquahallic_ | for my ATI | 16:11 |
| Aquahallic_ | should... shouldn't.. good move... DON'T DO IT....LOL | 16:11 |
| directhex | not using ati is the easiest option, of course ;) | 16:15 |
| Aquahallic_ | that's what I figured... and ubuntu installed found my card and my graphics look BEAUTIFUL | 16:16 |
| Aquahallic_ | well... I made some adjustments to xorg.conf | 16:17 |
| Aquahallic_ | lemme restart X and give it a whirl...:) | 16:17 |
| Aquahallic_ | thx... bbiab | 16:17 |

| Aquahallic | WHOO HOO! | 16:26 |
| laga | worky? | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | YUP YUP | 16:27 |
| laga | cool | 16:27 |
| laga | maybe you want to document that in the forums | 16:28 |
| laga | or | 16:28 |
| laga | even better | 16:28 |
| laga | file a bug against mythbuntu and xserver-xorg | 16:28 |
| laga | and let them deal with it :) | 16:28 |
| Aquahallic | well.. I don't think it's so much of a bug.. as misconfiguration | 16:28 |
| Aquahallic | I JUST did this ubuntu install | 16:28 |
| laga | yeah, but maybe the xorg guys want to workaround it by default :) | 16:28 |
| Aquahallic | and took all the "defaults" in xorg | 16:28 |
| Aquahallic | in actuality there were NO options that came up for my card | 16:29 |
| Aquahallic | found that compiz will drop all your title bars without a couple options there | 16:29 |
| Aquahallic | that baffled me BIG TIME | 16:30 |
| Aquahallic | lol | 16:30 |
| Aquahallic | what I actually did though was... I found another guy's xorg.conf that has same card as me | 16:30 |
| Aquahallic | I took most all his "options" and popped 'em in | 16:30 |
| laga | yeah | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | made a HELL of a difference with my desktop graphix too...:) | 16:31 |
| laga | need to report a bug against xorg-server then | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | speed wise | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | ahh | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | k | 16:31 |
| laga | care to show me, btw? | 16:31 |
| laga | got a ati vga card myself | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | so it'll populate by default you mean? | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | sure | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | lemme find that link | 16:31 |
| Aquahallic | it was ACTUALLY a guy talking about a blank boot screen with his ATI | 16:32 |
| laga | ah | 16:32 |
| Aquahallic | I have that too.. just hadn't gotten around to addressing it yet...:) | 16:32 |
| Aquahallic | maybe I killed 2 birds with one stone....:P | 16:32 |
| Aquahallic | lemme find ya the link I used | 16:32 |
| Aquahallic | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=317545 | 16:33 |
| Aquahallic | I plopped all his options in... tried mythfrontend and it was DOG SLOW on the xml menus | 16:33 |
| Aquahallic | I had to comment out that PCI line | 16:33 |
| Aquahallic | and it's SMOKIN' fast now | 16:34 |
| Aquahallic | :P | 16:34 |
| laga | which PCI line | 16:34 |
| laga | because my frontend is slow, too. | 16:34 |
| Aquahallic | k | 16:34 |
| Aquahallic | hold | 16:34 |
| laga | would be awesome to get this resolved | 16:34 |
| Aquahallic | Option "BusType" "PCI" #!!! for direct rendering to work | 16:34 |
| laga | i mean, i already got some speed improvements, but it's still noticable slower | 16:34 |
| laga | ah | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | I took that out.. and it was like a new 'puter | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | :P | 16:35 |
| laga | well, too bad my card is actually PCI :) | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | might TRY it though | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | worth a shot | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | lol | 16:35 |
| laga | yeah, i'll try those options (those which apply to my setup at least) | 16:35 |
| laga | Aquahallic: Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" | 16:35 |
| laga | you might try EXA here. | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | mine's integrated with my laptop | 16:35 |
| laga | no promises, but it might be faster. | 16:35 |
| Aquahallic | what exactly is that?? | 16:36 |
| laga | different acceleration methods provided by the X server | 16:36 |
| Aquahallic | ahh | 16:36 |
| laga | i think EXA is the default in newer setups so that's maybe that was breaking it. not sure | 16:36 |
| laga | worth a try :) | 16:36 |
| Aquahallic | well.. it wasn't in there when mythtv was bombing | 16:36 |
| Aquahallic | I had like NO options with the default | 16:36 |
| Aquahallic | heh... this is SWEET... got mythtv on one side of my cube in compiz...:) | 16:37 |
| jduggan | my box when it had gentoo on could play 720p content just fine with a pci nvidia 5200, running mythbuntu it chokes and is also slow - any of you guys got any suggestions? | 16:37 |
| blkorpheus | gotta love that | 16:37 |
| jduggan | its a p4 3.06ghz, with 2gb memory and PCI nvidia 5200 | 16:38 |
| Aquahallic | oh yeah.. it's BEAUTIFUL! | 16:38 |
| blkorpheus | :) | 16:39 |
| laga | jduggan: no, sorry :/ maybe some xorg.conf option? | 16:39 |
| blkorpheus | jduggan, you should have no problem | 16:39 |
| laga | check http://wiki.mythtv.org | 16:39 |
| jduggan | it *should* be able to handle 720p content, especially *cough* blueray rips, but it doesnt | 16:39 |
| blkorpheus | specifically check the nvidia page on the mythtv wiki | 16:39 |
| * blkorpheus looking for link | 16:39 | |
| Aquahallic | well.. the woman has a "TO-DO" list for me.. and the longer I sit here.. the more $HIT she's adding to it...LOL | 16:40 |
| Aquahallic | lemme get that done... I'll post a bug on the ATI also for xorg | 16:40 |
| Aquahallic | thanx again for ALL your help as usual folks | 16:40 |
| laga | glad it helped | 16:41 |
| laga | i'll try those xorg options too :) | 16:41 |
| blkorpheus | jduggan, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Nvidia | 16:41 |
| jduggan | AGP is a minimum as the PCI bus does not have the bandwidth for HDTV | 16:43 |
| jduggan | uhm | 16:43 |
| jduggan | im assuming thats raw HDTV? | 16:43 |
| jduggan | not ripped stuff | 16:43 |
| jduggan | perhaps my PCI card is the problem | 16:43 |
| blkorpheus | I would guess | 16:44 |
| blkorpheus | you would want agp or pci-E | 16:44 |
| jduggan | my box has onboard VGA(d-sub) with no AGP/PCI-E slot, i was getting issues with dull colour on my HDTV via the d-sub card and found my PCI-DVI card sorted this (as well as allowing me to run native resolution via HDMI) | 16:46 |
| jduggan | it could well be the PCI bus in that case | 16:46 |
| jduggan | since i introduced that AFTER playing HD content via the onboard vga | 16:46 |
| laga | i wish i'd gotten a mainboard with two PEG slots, too :/ | 16:47 |
| jduggan | so im stuck, either get crappy colour and no native resolution with ability to play HD, or run native resolution and good colour and not play HD content :P | 16:47 |
| jduggan | there's also a third option | 16:48 |
| jduggan | i guess | 16:48 |
| jduggan | and that's to buy new hardware | 16:48 |
| jduggan | but i hate spendin ;P | 16:48 |
| laga | :) | 16:48 |
| laga | i hate throwing perfectly good hardware away | 16:48 |
| jduggan | yea | 16:48 |
| jduggan | this is a 3ghz box with 2gb matched pair | 16:49 |
| jduggan | its ddr1 so cost a small fortune hehe | 16:49 |
| protonchris | Perhaps a silly question: Can I run a mythbuntu frontend on my tv-out and a ubuntu desktop on the vga out at the same time? | 16:49 |
| jduggan | protonchris: yes | 16:49 |
| laga | i could get a new mainboard for 40€ with digital audio out and two PEG slots, same chipset as my current motherboard. but i don't want to :) | 16:49 |
| laga | protonchris: depends. | 16:49 |
| laga | protonchris: in most cases, you can't run two separate X servers. that way, you'll run into focus issues if someone is working on the ubuntu desktop | 16:50 |
| jduggan | problem i have is that i've just spent money on 2gb of ddr1 - a new motherboard will make that redundant | 16:50 |
| jduggan | you can run the tv as a second extended screen | 16:50 |
| jduggan | i havent used tv-out in years, but IIRC the nvidia driver/setup util supports that | 16:51 |
| laga | it's also possible that there'll be odd video scaling problems with mythtv if the VGA monitor has a different aspect ratio than the TV set. at least that's what i was experiencing with my nvidia card. YMMV | 16:51 |
| * laga never got the problem fixed that the tv-out kept coming up as primary screen in X | 16:52 | |
| jduggan | :/ | 16:52 |
| protonchris | jduggan: what do you use instead of tv-out (dvi -> hdmi)? | 16:52 |
| jduggan | yes, and also in my office i have a dual output card (1x vga, 1xDVI), i link the vga to an old 21" CRT and use that as a TV | 16:53 |
| jduggan | connected to my workstation | 16:54 |
| jduggan | or one of my workstations :) | 16:54 |
| protonchris | Thanks for the info. The machine I run my frontend and backend on seems under utilized so I was thinking of using it as a desktop as well. | 16:54 |
| laga | jduggan: while it can work and while it might be good enough for some people, i just don't like it. that wasn't meant to keep you, protonchris, from trying it :) | 16:54 |
| protonchris | laga: I understand :) | 16:55 |
| * laga "solved" the problem by adding a second VGA card which opened another box of different issues | 16:55 | |
| jduggan | heh | 16:55 |
| jduggan | i had issues with a second card | 16:55 |
| jduggan | never got it working right | 16:55 |
| jduggan | but managed to find a dual card in my loft | 16:55 |
| jduggan | geforce 4 something or other | 16:56 |
| jduggan | :) | 16:56 |
| protonchris | I guess I could solve my "problem" by getting a tiny dedicated frontend (it would be nice not to have my noisy machine in the living room). | 16:56 |
| protonchris | Have either of you two looked into dedicated frontends? | 16:56 |
| jduggan | i have a dedicated frontend | 16:56 |
| AlsMe | I'm looking for a fully supported digital that can go with Ubuntu | 16:57 |
| protonchris | jduggan: what do you use (appliance, quiet computer, etc)? | 16:58 |
| AlsMe | can someone please tell me a good card to go with | 16:58 |
| jduggan | AlsMe: well, its an intel board, it actually is a backend, but i boot from a usb flash drive and nfs mount my recordings DIR, so its quiet | 16:59 |
| jduggan | protonchris: then my other frontend is connected to a workstation my office as i mentioned above | 17:00 |
| jduggan | AlsMe: it's pretty silent :) | 17:00 |
| jduggan | in my office* | 17:00 |
| jduggan | er, protonchris rather | 17:00 |
| protonchris | HeHe | 17:00 |
| AlsMe | and the name of this card that your speaking of jduggan? | 17:00 |
| jduggan | AlsMe: nvidia anything 5200< | 17:00 |
| jduggan | AlsMe: sorry, i was talkin to protonchris, but auto completed your nick | 17:01 |
| AlsMe | ohhh. | 17:01 |
| jduggan | AlsMe: youre looking for graphics card or tv card? | 17:01 |
| AlsMe | tv card | 17:11 |
| AlsMe | its going on my mythtv backend for recording tv :) | 17:12 |
| AlsMe | what should I go with? | 17:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wtf, i'm getting some funky errors in mythbackend.log | 17:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | anyone ever see anything like MainServer: HandleRemoteEncoder(cmd GET_STATE) Unknown encoder: 1 | 17:55 |
| superm1 | yes | 18:02 |
| superm1 | i've seen similar | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | superm1, is it bad? | 18:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or easily fixable? | 18:04 |
| superm1 | you just asked if i have seen it | 18:04 |
| superm1 | not if i knew anything about it:) | 18:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | right, but then there was a part 2 | 18:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it was hidden | 18:04 |
| superm1 | i saw it once a long long time ago | 18:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I have a hunch | 18:05 |
| superm1 | yes it was in a world far far away | 18:05 |
| superm1 | nice job! | 18:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I'm wondering if it has anything to do which the fact that I have a tuner or two that I haven't setup yet | 18:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ie, i put them under capture cards, but i didn't put any video sources associated with them | 18:05 |
| superm1 | why would you do that? | 18:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well, i'm still working on getting my ir blasting working on my pvr500 | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I was hoping that I could associate my pvr150, and it would record so I would have time with my pvr500 to work on it | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but alas, that is not the case | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and also so i could have time to hookup my external antenna | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | for my HD-5500 | 18:07 |
| superm1 | sounds like an overall lack of drive for success | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | heh | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | could be | 18:08 |
| superm1 | but really still no luck with the blasting? | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in fact | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i've actually regressed | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now my pvr150 doesn't want to blast either | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so to sum it up | 18:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I have absolutly no working mythbuntu machine right now :( | 18:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Its a sad day | 18:09 |
| superm1 | maybe hardy will help? | 18:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Are you telling me to run unstable? | 18:10 |
| superm1 | well all the cool kids do it | 18:10 |
| superm1 | are you not cool? | 18:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | im cool | 18:10 |
| * tgm4883_laptop starts burning a hardy disk | 18:10 | |
| superm1 | yeah i mean if $things dont work in gutsy, its worth a shot, and it gets us someone else to file hardy bugs :) | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | true | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I should run .21 too | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | whats the status on that? Are we still planning on it being in for hardy? | 18:12 |
| superm1 | i'm really thinking about switching to 0.21 in 8 days | 18:12 |
| superm1 | eg switching hardy to it | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sweet | 18:12 |
| jduggan | im getting lines running across my screen, i'm not sure how to describe it - its like tearing of the video horizontally, normally when there's fast moving pictures etc - its not strictly a myth issue as i get this when watching mplayer in fullscreen | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | err, dev channel | 18:12 |
| jduggan | but does anyone have experience of this? | 18:12 |
| jduggan | or indeed know how to fix it | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | jduggan, sounds like a vsync issue | 18:13 |
| superm1 | +1 ^ | 18:13 |
| jduggan | its just a horizontal line which somtimes moves up and down the screen | 18:13 |
| jduggan | tgm4883_laptop: what does one do to rectify that? | 18:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which vid card? | 18:13 |
| jduggan | 5200 | 18:13 |
| jduggan | nvidia | 18:13 |
| jduggan | oh wait | 18:14 |
| jduggan | no thats a lie | 18:14 |
| jduggan | its an intel | 18:14 |
| jduggan | heh | 18:14 |
| jduggan | onboard | 18:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 18:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not sure on an intel | 18:14 |
| jduggan | Q965 | 18:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nvidia settings (probably ati too) have a vsync setting | 18:14 |
| jduggan | yea - ive seen that | 18:14 |
| jduggan | this is onboard intel | 18:15 |
| javatexan | afternoon guys!!1 | 19:10 |
| javatexan | wow...I had to nice mencoder to 20 just so it will play nice with mplayer. Its odd, before I nice 20 on mencoder, its PRI was 35; but with nice 20, its PRI is 39.....It keeps cheating....LOL | 19:16 |
| v0lksman | anyone here able to help with spdif in the latest release? | 20:13 |
| laga | not unless you ask a question | 20:15 |
| v0lksman | hahaha...aight...well I get spdif passthrough working with mplayer in a shell..but in myth it never passes 5.1 no matter what settings I try.... | 20:16 |
| v0lksman | currently I have Alsa:Default as my Audio and Default as the passthrough device...I have checked AC3 passthrough option...but my stereo still only says its getting 2 channel feed... | 20:17 |
| v0lksman | I also have problems in mythmusic where the audio sounds like its missing parts (IE a guitar or soemtimes the drums are very muted).... | 20:17 |
| v0lksman | no clue where to look for solutions...I've read the Myth wiki.... | 20:17 |
| lime4x4 | trying to mount a share on a gutsy box. the folder is on my mythtv box. Here is what i put in my fstab but when i try to mount it i get an error about invalid share name //192.168.1.102/media/sdb1/music /media smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/user,rw,uid=john 0 0 | 20:18 |
| laga | v0lksman: you probably need to modify the passthrough device. not sure. maybe you've missed something when you were reading the mythtv wiki | 20:18 |
| v0lksman | lime4x4 what does smbtree output? | 20:18 |
| v0lksman | yeah I've been over it a few times...I think I'll take a break and try again later...was hoping for something stupid I overlooked or a known issue... | 20:19 |
| laga | v0lksman: i don't have an AV receiver yet, unfortunately. :/ | 20:19 |
| v0lksman | no worries...I'll try it again later when I'm not so frustrated... :) | 20:19 |
| lime4x4 | give me a sec i have to install that app on the mythbox | 20:21 |
| laga | he's gone :/ | 20:22 |
| lime4x4 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3922/ here is copy of smbtree and smb.conf | 20:25 |
| dwf_starband | im having trouble retriving lineups, according to scheduals direct everything is good on their side, so its something wrong on my side, here is what i posted on the forum, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678915 | 20:26 |
| laga | dwf_starband: have you tried posting on the SD forum? | 20:29 |
| dwf_starband | yes i have searched their forums, and tried different things (but nothing worked) i emailed their tech support, and they gave me a link to a how-to to manually retreive their lineups and it worked fine that way, so its something wrong on my side, not thiers | 20:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, I believe it should be //192.168.1.102/music | 20:31 |
| dwf_starband | http://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=295 is what I did to confirm data download from schedules direct | 20:33 |
| laga | dwf_starband: sorry, can't be of much help here since i'm not located in america | 20:34 |
| dwf_starband | ok, is their a time when an american who might know frequents this place? | 20:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dwf_starband, any errors in the backend log? | 20:38 |
| lime4x4 | i will try that | 20:41 |
| dwf_starband | how do i check that? | 20:42 |
| lime4x4 | odd that worked | 20:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, not really that odd | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | as that is the correct usage | 20:44 |
| lime4x4 | odd to me cause i'm not using the default folder for music | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dwf_starband, check in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, | 20:45 |
| dwf_starband | thanks i just found it, im looking | 20:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | [music] | 20:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | comment = Music | 20:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | path = /media/sdb1/music | 20:45 |
| lime4x4 | i c now | 20:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, ^^ says that your music share is /media/sdb1/music | 20:46 |
| lime4x4 | Even thou mounting it now on my gutsy box still doesn't allow xmms to play and music files | 20:46 |
| dwf_starband | here is my mythbackend.log http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3923/ | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | heh, basically tells us what we already know | 20:53 |
| dwf_starband | what does this line mean? | 20:53 |
| dwf_starband | 2008-01-26 09:14:19.448 DataDirect, Error: UpdateProgramViewTable no dd_state! | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is that it doesn't like the u/p | 20:53 |
| * tgm4883_laptop shrugs | 20:55 | |
| tgm4883_laptop | dwf_starband, i dont think it matters, as it doesn't appear to like the u/p. So everything after that is suspect to be incorrect | 20:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, do you have the proper permissions? | 20:56 |
| dwf_starband | what is u/p ? | 20:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and codecs | 20:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | user / password | 20:56 |
| dwf_starband | oh, ok | 20:58 |
| laga | you sure you don't have any typos in there? | 20:58 |
| dwf_starband | i have removed the video source in the backend setup and retried a couple of times | 20:59 |
| laga | do you have any special characters in there which could cause problems? | 21:00 |
| dwf_starband | i have changed the user name and password for SD and then again on the video setup | 21:00 |
| dwf_starband | i used dwf_starband before, but then i changed it to one with just letters but that made no difference | 21:00 |
| dwf_starband | i switched back after, I could try again I guess | 21:01 |
| laga | dwf_starband: does it work with xmltv? | 21:01 |
| dwf_starband | yes it worked fine | 21:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dwf_starband, how do you change the username? I thought SD required an email address as the username? | 21:02 |
| dwf_starband | when you logon to thier website it shows your account overview and if you click on edit account you can change your login name and password among other things | 21:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 21:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | have you tried using your email address? | 21:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | just in case | 21:06 |
| dwf_starband | no, i read that the @ symbol had caused problems before, but its worth a try | 21:07 |
| dwf_starband | weird thing is it had been working for a few months | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 21:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | strange | 21:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | maybe your account has expired? | 21:08 |
| dwf_starband | Expires:Saturday, October 04, 2008 | 21:09 |
| dwf_starband | i just tried setting up a new video source after changing my login name to email address and am getting the same 401 unauthorized when trying to fetch lineups | 21:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | very odd | 21:11 |
| dwf_starband | wife is calling for lunch, ill still be around though if you think of a solution | 21:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 21:15 |
| jduggan | will i get mythbuntu installs on a 2gig flash drive? | 21:32 |
| jduggan | installed* | 21:32 |
| laga | yes, if you trim it down | 21:33 |
| jduggan | its going to be a backend/frontend, back end in that it holds the tv cards - but im going to put mysql on another box and record to an nfs share | 21:33 |
| jduggan | might be worth getting a bigger flash drive, but 2gb is one i have already | 21:34 |
| laga | just try it. i think i still have some space left on my 2G flash install | 21:34 |
| dwf_starband | done with lunch, any ideas on my u/p problems with schedules direct? | 21:57 |
| dwf_starband | do i need to have a mythtv user? | 22:09 |
| laga | you'll have one on your system if the backend is installed | 22:14 |
| dwf_starband | thats what I thought, but when I go to users and groups there isnt one listed | 22:15 |
| dwf_starband | there is a mythtv group but not a user | 22:16 |
| laga | it's hidden because it's a system user | 22:16 |
| laga | open a terminal and use "id mythtv" to check | 22:16 |
| dwf_starband | uid=109(mythtv) gid=120(mythtv) groups=120(mythtv),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video) | 22:17 |
| laga | so you've got a mythtv user. | 22:19 |
| dwf_starband | ok, thanks | 22:19 |
| dwf_starband | how hard is it to reinstall mythbuntu? how hard to start over but keep my recordings? | 22:26 |
| Aquahallic | evenin' folks | 22:50 |
| Aquahallic | anyone use mythtv with compiz fusion??? | 22:50 |
| Aquahallic | I'm seeing some strange behavior...:/ | 22:50 |
| laga | Aquahallic: no. ;) but i tried that xorg.conf entry using the XAA acceleration method and it's much faster than EXA. that's weird but it works for me ;) | 22:51 |
| Aquahallic | heh... KEWL! | 22:51 |
| Aquahallic | always glad to help...:) | 22:52 |
| laga | thanks :) | 22:52 |
| Aquahallic | yeah I'm seeing some STRANGE stuff with mythtv | 22:53 |
| Aquahallic | some menus want to run as a window.. and some as full screen | 22:53 |
| Aquahallic | there must be somekind of "tweak" I can do in compiz | 22:53 |
| Aquahallic | I'm just not real familiar with compiz | 22:54 |
| laga | you mean, some mythtv menus? | 22:54 |
| Aquahallic | yeah... the xml pages | 22:55 |
| Aquahallic | frontend windows | 22:55 |
| laga | you can't just run arbitrary menus as full screen and some in windowed mode | 22:56 |
| Aquahallic | well.. what happens is this..... | 22:56 |
| Aquahallic | I fire up mythtv... and my top and bottom panels show in ubuntu then if I click in the window anywhere they disappear.. like I put the "focus" on the mythtv fullscreen window | 22:57 |
| Aquahallic | then say I arrow down to videos.. I see the panels again | 22:57 |
| laga | ah. | 22:58 |
| laga | i think there's a workaround for that in compiz | 22:58 |
| Aquahallic | I'm doing a little googlin' on it...:) | 22:58 |
| Aquahallic | I was just curious if someone in here had already run into this | 22:58 |
| laga | yeah :) don't remember any specifics | 22:58 |
| laga | i think superm1 knows | 22:58 |
| Aquahallic | but MAN it SURE IS SWEET with my cube and mythtv runnin' on one side...hehe | 22:59 |
| Aquahallic | heh.. I think I just found it | 23:00 |
| Aquahallic | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-420544.html | 23:00 |
| Aquahallic | hmmm... I need to set a mount point for my NFS share with all my videos on it too | 23:01 |
| Aquahallic | guess I could just add something like.. mount xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/lib/mythtv /mnt/mythtv in there too huh? | 23:02 |
| laga | man fstab ;) | 23:03 |
| Aquahallic | cause I don't want to add a line in fstab cause when I'm not at home I don't want nfs trying to mount something that's not there | 23:03 |
| laga | would be cool if there was a nice GUI tab | 23:03 |
| Aquahallic | ^^^ | 23:03 |
| Aquahallic | heh | 23:03 |
| Aquahallic | I have it in fstab on my frontend that's on a desktop upstairs.. but this is my laptop | 23:03 |
| laga | you can add the "noauto" option to fstab | 23:04 |
| laga | and mount it when you need it | 23:04 |
| Aquahallic | yeah but I'd only want it to mount when I open mythtv | 23:04 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | hi installed mythbuntu today now im stuck have two problems no sound and not able to configure tv card | 23:05 |
| Aquahallic | if mythtv goes to look for that dir and it's not there and it's in the fstab with a 'noauto' tag then would it try to mount it when only when something tries to use it? | 23:05 |
| laga | Aquahallic: i think you have to mount it manually. | 23:06 |
| Aquahallic | ahh | 23:06 |
| Aquahallic | that link shows how to make a new executable with some compiz parameters on it | 23:07 |
| Aquahallic | I wonder if I could add the mount command there?? | 23:07 |
| Aquahallic | just above the actually calling of mythtv | 23:07 |
| laga | you probably need to be root | 23:09 |
| laga | so throw in gksudo or something | 23:09 |
| laga | you'll be prompted for your password, though | 23:09 |
| laga | i think you can also specify that a regular user can mount it in fstab | 23:09 |
| Aquahallic | yup... i know you can do that | 23:09 |
| Aquahallic | there's a "user" flag if I remember correctly | 23:10 |
| adaptr | user/users | 23:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | need help to configure a intel HDA sound onboard | 23:10 |
| adaptr | I didn't need to confrigure anything - it was picked up automatically | 23:10 |
| Aquahallic | MythbuntuGuest93: try alsamixer and see if your master volume is muted...:) | 23:11 |
| adaptr | unless... is it a true Intel chipset, or is it one that *supports* the Intel HDA standard? | 23:11 |
| Aquahallic | that one bit me in the arse first time I installed mythtv | 23:12 |
| Aquahallic | never put my hands on linux before but I was BOUND and determined to get a mythtv up... so I went for gentoo | 23:12 |
| Aquahallic | OMG....LOL... THAT was BRUTAL | 23:12 |
| Aquahallic | initiation by FIRE | 23:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | intel corp 8280h ich8 hd audio controller | 23:13 |
| Aquahallic | MythbuntuGuest93: fire up alsamixer and see if any of them are muted | 23:13 |
| adaptr | MythbuntuGuest93: you need the ich8 module (and piix4, probably) ; see if they're loaded | 23:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | now im lost how do i fireup the alsamixer , complete nooooob | 23:18 |
| Aquahallic | open a console window and type alsamixer | 23:18 |
| Aquahallic | I think you have to have alsa-utils installed | 23:19 |
| laga | should be installed | 23:19 |
| Aquahallic | man.... superm1 says to see attached screenshot for compiz config and there's no link.....:( | 23:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | have 5 bars all in the red | 23:20 |
| laga | Aquahallic: maybe you need to go to the original thread. | 23:21 |
| laga | MythbuntuGuest93: unmuted as well? no MM there? | 23:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | front has 00 all the others have mm | 23:22 |
| laga | MythbuntuGuest93: maybe you want to unmute (hit M) those, especially if they're called master or pcm.. | 23:23 |
| Aquahallic | yup... you're muted...:) | 23:23 |
| Aquahallic | use your arrows to go to any of them that say master or PCM and hit m | 23:23 |
| Aquahallic | BUT | 23:23 |
| Aquahallic | use your down arrow if they're all red.. .you unmute it on wide open.....:) | 23:24 |
| Aquahallic | I did that and near pi$$ed myself it was so lout | 23:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | have no master or pcm listed | 23:24 |
| Aquahallic | loud...:) | 23:24 |
| Aquahallic | ahh.. you have to emulate a master then | 23:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | ok | 23:24 |
| Aquahallic | there's a howto out there I saw on how to do it | 23:24 |
| Aquahallic | let me see if I can find that again.... | 23:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | ok thanks | 23:25 |
| adaptr | MythbuntuGuest93: the channels for an HDA audio chip are PCM and Front; there is no master as such | 23:28 |
| adaptr | that took me some tries, too | 23:28 |
| Aquahallic | there's a way to emulate a master | 23:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | have got front,surrond,center,lfe,side | 23:29 |
| laga | ah | 23:30 |
| laga | well front is everything you need | 23:30 |
| laga | i hope | 23:30 |
| laga | can't check here because i replaced my hda intel the other day | 23:30 |
| Aquahallic | like on my SB Audigy there's a way to emulate a master control so mythtv will use that to control your levels | 23:30 |
| Aquahallic | ughh... I can't remember where it's at.. but it's a gentoo wiki about alsa and dmix | 23:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | will look for it | 23:34 |
| adaptr | how about you just run the sound applet ? | 23:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | how is this done ? | 23:36 |
| Aquahallic | man... I did what that post says about the panels and mythtv with compiz.. mine are already set the way it says to... yet I still get the panels....:'( | 23:36 |
| adaptr | you need to start mythtv on a blank screen, and fullscreen | 23:37 |
| Aquahallic | ahh hah! | 23:39 |
| Aquahallic | BEAUTIFUL.. ty | 23:39 |
| Aquahallic | ;) | 23:39 |
| Aquahallic | although it doesn't let you see the video you're playing while spinning the cube.. but I can live with that...:) | 23:39 |
| adaptr | what are you using for playback, and what play mode is it set to ?> | 23:40 |
| Aquahallic | actually viewing livetv | 23:40 |
| Aquahallic | I guess if I used mplayer for my videos atleast videos would work | 23:41 |
| adaptr | well, unless the application has opengl support (to render to a virtual opengl window), it will indeed not work while using the aiglx extensions | 23:41 |
| Aquahallic | that native viewer you have to use for livetv is funky I've noticed | 23:41 |
| adaptr | yes, you can start mplayer on opengl | 23:41 |
| adaptr | that should work as advertised | 23:41 |
| Aquahallic | yeah but you can't do it while viewing livetv though can you? | 23:42 |
| Aquahallic | you have to use that native player for livetv right? | 23:42 |
| adaptr | I don't know, I don't have a TV card installed | 23:42 |
| adaptr | AM thinking about buying the PVR350 though | 23:43 |
| Aquahallic | ahh | 23:43 |
| Aquahallic | :) | 23:43 |
| Aquahallic | I just have a pvr 150 | 23:43 |
| adaptr | yeah, the price diff isn't small, but the feature set is just so much better | 23:43 |
| Aquahallic | well I'm not doing anything real fancy or nuttin'... so the 150 is really all I need... I only have it so I can justify all the work I put into mythtv so my g'friend can record her shows.....LOL | 23:44 |
| Aquahallic | and I spun up samba so she can get to the mythtv share on the master backend and just drop her movies on there and watch.... makes it a turnkey media center... she LOVES how it just mounts up an iso | 23:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | tv fomat for the uk | 23:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | format soz | 23:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest93 | is it pal m | 23:50 |
| Aquahallic | hmmm | 23:59 |
| Aquahallic | Video timing method: DRM | 23:59 |
| Aquahallic | shouldn't that be opengl and not DRM??? | 23:59 |
| laga | why? | 23:59 |
