[00:17] anyone use options for ivtv module? [00:57] anyone use options for ivtv module? [01:08] Any ubuntu mythtv folks at LCA and intending to go to the mythtv BoF?> [01:13] Me [01:13] Question is when is the BOF? [01:15] It looks like none of the times have been published yet [01:33] has anyone used a HDHomeRun ? [01:48] WcktKlwn, that is the preferred HD tuner here [01:48] preferred? [01:48] by whom? [01:49] tritium, by the developers [01:49] upstream, or mythbuntu? [01:49] mythbuntu [01:50] I would not expect upstream to necessarily have a "preferred" tuner. [01:51] hmm.. I thought it was a good concept.. and since it's "preferred", I think I might pick up one [01:51] They do seem nice. [01:52] At least, if you don't mind an external tuner. [01:52] that's really the only downfall to it [01:52] so it seems anyway [01:52] tritium, WcktKlwn actually i would see that as a benefit [01:52] as it is an ethernet tuner, not a usb or firewire [01:52] tgm4883_laptop: not to all, though [01:52] so you can place it anywhere [01:53] I won't get one for that reason. [01:53] people with limited space have issues with more boxes [01:53] well the pcHDTV 5500 is a good card too [01:53] My Dvico card works quite well. [02:06] anyone know how to get mame to work with mythtv? [02:19] dannyboy79, LCA? [02:19] er puck i mean [08:47] superm1: Howdie. I have an annoying mythtv bug, want to help me chase it down? [08:48] maybe... :) [08:48] what is it? [08:48] So it's possibly related to http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4138 [08:48] Except for the port where scanning seems to work. [08:50] okay everyone in hear has quoted a version on -fixes though [08:51] have you already backed up your DB and checked to see if it works on trunk? [08:52] Backup? This is an initial install :) [08:52] okay. [08:52] grab the trunk debs from mythbuntu.org/auto-builds [08:52] Is building myth arduous... Cool. [08:52] and give those a spin before getting too in depth here [08:52] Wicked. [08:52] those are ~5 days old i think [08:52] so current enough [09:25] RAOF, any such luck? [09:29] superm1: Eh, apt's being slow. [09:29] oh yeah your .au :) [09:30] I should probably clear out some of my sources.list.d. It's getting a little full. [09:31] okay well i think i'm done hacking on trying to fix vnc4's package for the night, i'm gonna hit the sack [09:31] with any luck trunk will resolve your issue, and that bug will get closed :) [09:33] Ta. [09:33] G'night! [15:36] well thats nice [16:08] hi [16:08] hi [16:09] i tried to install mythbuntu-lirc-generator on debian sid, but the install fails there: http://rafb.net/p/1jGlgs36.html [16:12] hmm [16:13] unfortunatly im not sure of the issue [16:13] plus, i don't read german [16:13] rhpot1991_laptop, http://rafb.net/p/1jGlgs36.html [16:13] the german part is not important anyway, just some output by apt-get [16:14] python version not match up maybe? [16:14] fir3_: why using sid, and not some form of ubuntu? [16:14] sid breaks randomly, so it could have something to do with that [16:15] python 2.4.4 [16:15] debian has some advantages i don't want to miss [16:16] and other python apps run fine [16:17] what version of python central do you have? [16:18] 0.5.15-0.1 [16:18] 2.5.1-1ubuntu2 [16:18] is my python version [16:19] Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.43), debhelper (>= 5.0.38), python-central (>= 0.5.6), python (>= 2.4) [16:19] looks like you need to update python-central [16:19] err [16:19] nm, too early :) [16:20] i really shouldn't help people before i've had my coffee [16:24] i also have python 2.5 installed, how can i make lirc generator use it? [16:25] python2.5.1 === MythbuntuGuest89 is now known as Richr [16:43] hi dudes, gonna try my hand here with a couple of questions if you dont mind :) [16:44] if i have 2 *different* tv sources, does the mythtv/ubuntu setup cope with that and offer you a choice of what to watch? [17:15] yes, it shows all channels together in the program guide [17:16] and will switch to the right card when you pick a channel from the guide [17:16] or there's a button to switch cards when channel hopping [17:31] has anybody here tried a static ip? [17:31] when I tried it totally screwed up my system [17:32] i found the wireless config wasnt so intuitive for static assignments [17:32] so i ditched it and set it manually [17:33] I set my ip in /etc/networking/interfaces [17:33] but then I could not access mysql [17:33] unfortunatly it is a problem [17:33] sec [17:33] ok, is there a bug? [17:33] yea, i'm looking it up [17:34] !bug 156187 [17:34] !bug 156087 [17:34] the second ong [17:34] bah [17:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/156087 [17:34] ubotu is slow [17:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about is slow - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:35] ok, thanks [18:00] fir3_, you still here? [18:00] 0.19 is the latest mlg [18:00] you should be building that [18:01] mlg? [18:03] mythbuntu-lirc-generator [18:04] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/x11/mythbuntu-lirc-generator [18:06] anyone know of a USB tv tuner that can do NTSC/ATSC/PAL [18:06] ?? [18:07] I travel between Europe and US a lot [18:07] anyone? [18:09] tushyd, i've never heard of such a device [18:09] superm1: neither works, it's still using python 2.4 instead of 2.5 which would work [18:10] fir3_, same error? [18:10] yep [18:10] why dont you try python 2.5? [18:11] python2.5 is installed, but apt-get persists on using 2.4 [18:11] try changing the build depends on the source package [18:12] to 2.5 [18:14] don't know how to do that [18:14] but the maintainer should be contacted about that [18:14] i don't need it anymore anyway, i extracted it and ran it manually [18:16] hi. i'm maintainer :) [18:16] everybody run [18:17] it hasn't been an issue since ubuntu uses python 2.5 [18:17] * superm1 cracks a whip in the direction of laga's country [18:17] alright :) [18:18] superm1: looks like the aufs debian maintainer is gonna make the lum patch [18:18] and there was much rejoicing. [18:18] woah sweet [18:18] who s the aufs debian maintainer? [18:18] well, debian has both 2.4, 2.5 and even 2.3, 2.4 is default [18:18] fir3_, i'll bump the build depends to 2.5 [18:19] and if ours still builds release it like that [18:19] superm1: juliank, he's also the ubuntu maintainer :) [18:19] alright, tnx :) [18:19] laga, ooh that makes life easy [18:19] yes [18:20] will that extra hook in casper be of any use to you? [18:20] the one that Kano made [18:21] superm1: julian said he'd like to make the live disks use aufs. [18:21] i'll leave it to him [18:21] the diskless stuff is more important to me at the moment. [18:21] besides, it's like a two line change. [18:21] isnt it a little bit late in hardy's cycle to do something so ambitious? [18:21] maybe not [18:21] true. [18:21] well [18:22] if it's done properly, eg with unionfs still being the default, it's maybe 6 lines [18:22] ah [18:22] aufs is added to lum so they dont have to change unionfs. [18:22] well if it really has such awesome performance yeah i'd love to master our disks with it instead [18:23] not sure about performance, eg speed [18:23] superm1: we can still just "fork" the live-initramfs package. [18:24] indeed [18:43] hy. [18:44] i've a question about adding software to the menu [18:45] ok [18:45] i have problems with software, that have a tray icon [18:45] eg pidgin or wengophone [18:46] the do not stop, after using it. so the frontend does not get focus [18:48] has anyone an idea? [18:49] disable tray icon? [18:50] i haven't found a setting for this. [18:50] not in menus and not in the cli [18:51] i thought about "encapsulation" in other software... [18:51] dunno :) [18:52] i thought there was for pidgin at least [18:52] dont know about wengophone [18:53] one of the plugins might add the behavior to allow it [18:53] mythtv plugins or wengo/pidgin plugins? [18:53] pidgin plugins [18:56] thanks for the help, mythtv is a really great projekt for my media center. it works fine and integration of new features is a dream :) [19:21] hello i need help, i will play with mythbuntu play dvd with mpg tv records, but it didnt work, can someone help me [19:23] i want to play a mpg movie with a dvd, but in menue is only vcd and dvd and both dont work [19:24] someone an idear for me? [19:24] sounds like you want to play a data DVD. the "DVD" menu entry is only for video dvds [19:25] you'll need to use mythvideo i think [19:25] but i never used that particular setup [19:25] yes its a data dvd with only the mpg video file.... [19:26] mythvideo i dont found the menue [19:26] you would have to install mythvideo [19:26] then copy the mpg to the mythvideo directory [19:26] IIRC that is /var/lib/mythtv/videos [19:27] you can use a symlink to the cd-rom drive mount point as well [19:27] but it's not populated automagically i think [19:27] ah ok and without copy doent work? [19:27] hum [19:27] come to think of it: mythgallery might work as well [19:27] symlink wgar rgus= [19:27] what is this i meen [19:28] well you could symlink the cdrom location to the video location, then set mythvideo to browse the files [19:28] yes this is a good idear, but wherer i can make it? [19:31] mhh i see in the mythconfig that the play dvd menu is linked with internal and not with mplayer, how the other menues....go this pherhaps with a other command line??? [19:32] dvd play command: internal --- vcd playcommand mplayer vvd:// -cdrom-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv [19:32] not vvd, vcd [19:33] that command is for _video_ dvds [19:33] ah ok and other command pherhaps it works with data dvd? [19:33] that command is for _video_ cds [19:34] you can modify one to suit your purposes, but there are better options [19:34] yes but dvd internal und cds mplayer, why other commands to start? [19:34] better options? [19:34] the internal player does not support VCDs [19:35] ah ok... [19:35] do you know where can i edit that mythbuntu seach on dvd for files, too? [19:36] we've already made a few suggestions [19:37] yes but i dont know how i can do this [19:38] where can i make the symlink to dvdrom? [19:38] command line interface, or maybe there's a graphical tool for it [19:39] google knows all about symlinks :) [19:39] there are also various threads about what you want to do on there [19:39] ah i test a search :) [19:40] it'd be very cool if this was easier, though.. [19:40] superm1: any ideas how we can automate playback of data dvds? [19:40] mhhh my english isnt so good, what must i insert in google? [19:41] eg auto-play a DVD which just contains a bunch of mpgs/avis.. [19:41] MythbuntuGuest34: http://de.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=148 [19:42] even in your native language :) [19:43] mutch thanks, how do you know that german my language is? [19:43] -!- MythbuntuGuest34 [n=Mythbunt@f054128069.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [19:44] i saw the .de in your host mask [19:44] laga is an uber hacker [19:44] ah ok.... thats a answer :) [19:44] (it's also possible to guess from some mistakes in english commonly made by germans ;)) [19:46] yes, but how do you know german mistakes, when they speak english, you a a german, too? :) [19:46] laga, yeah [19:46] uh oh, you've been outed laga [19:47] they open up to mythvideo [19:47] oh noes [19:47] superm1: is that done by default? [19:47] well they do for a lot of mine [19:47] oh [19:47] nifty [19:47] some of them go to mythpictures though [19:47] for some reason [19:47] ahm one quiestion, is mount the dvd device in /mnt/storage/dvd, too? [19:48] MythbuntuGuest34: yes, i'm german, too. but no worries, i didn't guess from your accent ;) [19:48] ln -s /media/dvd/ /mnt/storage/dvd works this correct? [19:50] ah ok than i am relieved *hihi* [19:51] will work the syslink example? [19:51] do you know? [19:51] just try it :) [19:53] mhhh /media/dvd nop such file or directory [19:53] /media/cdrom ? [19:53] no dvd [19:54] i test it [19:54] no dont work, too [19:55] you should have a /media/cdrom or cdrom0 directory in there? [19:55] i search [19:56] a filemanager says udf volume on media cdrom0 [19:57] also /media/cdrom0 /mnt/storange/dvd ??? [19:59] mhh mythbuntu have a mounted cdrom directory /cdrom [20:01] mthe stored videos is in /var/lib/mythbuntu/videos# [20:01] than i must write ln -s /media/cdrom /var/lib/mythbuntu/videos ???? [20:03] /var/lib/mythbuntu/videos/dvd maybe [20:03] no :( [20:04] no such file or driectory he say [20:04] /var/lib/mythtv/videos [20:04] sounds more app [20:04] oh [20:04] no dont work, too :( [20:06] he say: ln: creating symbolic link '/var/lib/mythbuntu/videos' to '/media/cdrom' : No such file or directory [20:07] or must i loged in with the root user [20:24] mhh where can i set the root pw? [20:25] you dont [20:25] you use sudo [20:25] sudo COMMAND [20:25] and you use your password [20:25] that's how Ubuntu does things [20:25] i dont have the pw, because throu install he dont ask for it [20:26] the install does ask for a password yes [20:27] it was on the same page that you chose a user name [20:27] no install dont ask only for the main user, not for root, but in account proerties i have fount to chance it [20:27] exactly [20:27] you dont user a root user [20:27] you type sudo COMMAND [20:27] and you use your normal user [20:28] yes but when i make sodu he ask me for a thw root ow and that i dont have [20:28] sudo asks for your password [20:28] not the root password [20:28] su asks for root password [20:28] actually, that misconception is what made me ditch ubuntu when i first tried it. i kept entering the root password in the sudo prompt [20:29] ah ok you have right... only for the main user he ask me :) [20:31] ok but i could not make the syslink.... wheere is the error? === kjetil_ is now known as KjetilK [20:35] or do you have a other idear how i can play the data dvd mpg file with mythbuntu? [20:36] MythbuntuGuest34, for me, i set up myth to automatically check my drive for stuff [20:36] and then when a dvd is mounted via Xfce's mount stuff, it shows up in myth [20:36] under mythvideo [20:37] this is good, what must i do for it [20:37] there is an option in the general section [20:37] to automatically check for mounted items [20:37] check that and restart mythfrontend [20:37] and that should be it [20:37] cool [20:37] didn't know that [20:38] it works for dvds too [20:38] puts you right into mythdvd [20:38] gernalsection in mythbuntfrontet or where it is? [20:38] in the frontend [20:38] i dont remember exactly where [20:38] but there is an option for it [20:38] general settings i believe [20:38] ok thanks i search for it [20:42] I'm a bit confused about the version numbers used for the nvidia drivers [20:43] I'm looking into http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ComponentOut [20:43] and I need to understand what version I have, I use the nvidia-glx-new right now [20:44] dpkg -l nvidia-glx-new [20:45] cool mutch thanks !!! it works now :)))) [20:45] laga: yeah, but the version number I get from that doesn't correspond to the ones on that wiki, quite... [20:46] KjetilK: the wiki is out of date [20:46] laga: oh, ok, so 9755 is an older version than 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10 [20:46] ? [20:47] one quiestion please when i play the video it is not full of the screen. how can i soom? [20:47] KjetilK: yes [20:47] ok... [20:47] MythbuntuGuest34: hit "m", there's an option.. [20:47] m he say mute enabled [20:48] and w isnt it, too. i think w it can chanche it with mpgs on harddrive, but now it dont works [20:50] oh i must go now... bye and mutch rthanks for your help [20:50] bye [21:00] superm1: Trunk fixes my problem, thanks. [21:01] RAOF, that's great to hear [21:01] we're planning to switch to it within a week or two [21:01] for hardy [21:02] Excellent. There don't appear to be trunk-weeklies built for hardy - is that right? [21:02] not yet [21:02] the plan at this point (upstream) is to have 0.21 ready by feb/march [21:02] so at least switch to trunk before FF [21:02] on feb 14 [21:02] Right. [21:03] and then make the argument of incremental changes to motu-ff [21:03] hopefully that flies :) [21:03] Probably will :) [21:04] oh nice .21 will make hardy? [21:13] wooohooo, my 5.1 sound setup finally works [22:04] My blasting isn't quiet working properly. I've noticed that the numbers in lircd.conf are labeled like "Six" rather than "6". When the frontend tries to change channels, which does it use? [22:04] also, i am unable to change the channel via the channel change script from the command line using "6", obviously becuase that is not what is defined [22:10] hello i have a problem, when i have a monitor i can see the video, but when i connect the tv i can see the mythbuntumenu but, when i start a film the screen will be black [22:12] when i start mythbuntu woithout the monitor he say the graphic card not found and teh screen is correct 800x600 with 61Hz, but why i cant see the film on tv? [22:13] i have a ato 7000 ve graphic card [22:14] MythbuntuGuest47, yes this is because only one hardware overlay is supported at a time [22:15] it can either be on the primary or secondary monitor [22:15] mhh with the config programm he say only default screen. i have connected only tv [22:16] and the secondscreen is grey and i cant click it [22:17] or where i must say hin, with screen aktiv is? [22:19] in fronterd pherhaps? [22:22] i'm not sure with the open source driver how to set where the video overlay is, sorry [22:22] you might want to ask in #mythtv-users [22:22] since its a pretty general question [22:23] mhhh when i have the monitor connected i have ato driver but whith the monitor i have vesa driver and can not config with the odl driver [22:23] ok thanks i aks there sombody [22:25] but, why i can see with tv the frontered menu? [22:25] but when i start a film teh tv is blank [22:41] MythbuntuGuest47: because the frontend menu is drawn normally. The TV is done using the (hardware-accelerated) video overlay, which only works on one of the outputs. [22:52] RAOF, in case you forgot, can you leave some notes on that bug on upstream's tracker to make sure it gets closed since its fixed in trunk? [22:52] (i dont have that url you gave me handy still to look) [22:53] Certainly, thanks for reminding me. [22:55] thx [23:10] Hi all. I've recently installed Mythbuntu 7.10 with a ASUS MyCinema-P7131 and everything works well except... [23:12] ...except that TVDirect doesn't has sound. However the problem is not the sound system as I can listen to music and stream TV [23:12] Any suggestions? [23:15] nuno__, how are you hooking your directv up to your computer? [23:15] err [23:15] tvdirect that is [23:15] man, i must be lisdexic today [23:16] I pick the signal directly from my cable provider to the P-7131. [23:18] I've found a more or less correct diagnostic of my problem (Razzing/tinny/metalic sound) but related to a VIA 8237 chipset which is not the case [23:18] For that case it seems that the problem was with the capture audio stream rate. [23:19] I have tried the solution advertised there (changing the audio capture rate) but it didn't worked :-( [23:38] RAOF, you still hanging in here? [23:38] Yeah? [23:39] would you mind doing a quick REVU on a NEW myth app (and testing it with trunk?) [23:39] Certainly, but not right now. [23:39] great :), it will be on revu when you've got time. [23:39] its called gmyth [23:39] provided it works for you with trunk, i'm going to get a MIR filed for it [23:40] and then totem gets mythtv support [23:40] As in: a totem plugin to connect to a mythtv backend? [23:40] yes [23:40] for live tv [23:40] That's *awesome* [23:40] and recordings [23:40] yeah, i'm really excited :) [23:40] if it works [23:40] * laga hides [23:40] i just tested the command line version of it against just -fixes [23:41] and it works there [23:41] i'm gonna rebuilld totem with it in a little bit [23:42] cool [23:43] just found out the hard way that aufs was not enabled in lum [23:43] that's gonna be fixed soon [23:43] got a local build now..
