[00:00] <superm1> toorima, i believe if you put a picture file in the folder it will show up on the front.  if not, then i'm not sure of any other way
[00:00] <toorima> superm1: thx I'll try that
[00:03] <dakkar> hello
[00:09] <dakkar> would mythbuntu work with ted http://www.ted.nu/screenshots.php ?  I want to setup a box, no screen, no keyboard, to put in the living room to feed video content downloaded through bittorrent automatically (through TED).
[00:18] <dwf_starband> im still trying to get my schedualling working again, it was working great with schedules direct then just stoped getting the info, here is the output from my mythfilldatabase http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4113/
[00:20] <dwf_starband> I asked in here last week and was told that it was username password issues, I have changed my username/passwords with schedules direct to lowercase w/ no symbols
[00:25] <dwf_starband> from what I understand mythfilldatabase sends a request without a name or password which returns the 401 unauthorized error, then it sends with the name and password which should return a 200 OK like in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4229243
[00:25] <dwf_starband> is this correct?
[00:26] <dwf_starband> im never getting the 200 OK, instead i get No Data Received
[00:38] <dwf_starband> If browse to http://webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com/schedulesdirect/tvlistings/xtvdService and enter my name and password it goes to an error page
[00:38] <dwf_starband> HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL
[00:46] <hansoffate> hey, i am trying to setup my firewire with the Cable box.  I am trying out a p2p connection and its hanging . it says "p2p: Testing..." and its just hanging there
[01:37] <dakkar> hello, I am to create a box that will automatically fetch programs through TED http://www.ted.nu/index.php  and a bittorrent client (maybe utorrents or azuerus) and make them available to play on my TV.  Once the installation is done, I would want to place the box without monitor or keyboard in the livingroom connected to the tv and be able to navigate the movie files directly from my livingroom TV.  I have a wireless remot
[01:37] <dakkar> came with my windows media center for my laptop.  The box could still be accessed remotely through my home network.  Sorry for the long post.  Thanks!
[01:44] <dakkar> hi
[01:44] <dakkar> great, got logged off.
[01:44] <dakkar> is my question still out there?
[01:45] <dwf_starband> its still on there, but no one has been saying much lately
[01:46] <dakkar> thanks!
[02:39] <hansoffate> hey, anyone here that may be able to help out with connecting a STB?
[03:13] <hansoffate> tgm4883: are you available?
[03:13] <tgm4883> hansoffate, for a little while, whats up
[03:15] <hansoffate> awesome, thanks.  If when i try to do a p2p connection firewiretest for my STB.  and it gets stuck saying "p2p: Testing..." but never says failed, does that mean the firewire port isn't acttivated?
[03:15] <hansoffate> right now im trying to get help from comcast, im on my 7th transfer, trying to get my box activated
[03:16] <tgm4883> it's been a while so I may be slow in responding
[03:16] <tgm4883> did you runt he test to see which node it was on?
[03:17] <hansoffate> yea, if your busy, there is no rush. im pretty sure its not activated
[03:17] <tgm4883> what node did it show up as?
[03:17] <tgm4883> pastebin the output
[03:17] <hansoffate> i did the test though, i am on node 0, adapter 0
[03:18] <tgm4883> im good for a couple hours.  I'm leaving for a movie that starts in 2 hours and I need to take a shower, so I have a little time
[03:18] <tgm4883> what test command are you running
[03:18] <tgm4883> and what STB?
[03:19] <hansoffate> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4126/
[03:19] <hansoffate> dch3200 motorola
[03:19] <hansoffate> need to get the serial number for the tech
[03:19] <hansoffate> brb
[03:19] <tgm4883> k
[03:20] <tgm4883> dakkar, sounds like you need to set it up to get shows into the mythvideo dir
[03:22] <hansoffate> back
[03:23] <tgm4883> hansoffate, what command are you running with firewire tester?
[03:23] <tgm4883> also, what kind of firewire card do you have?
[03:24] <hansoffate> sudo ./firewire_tester -p -P 0 -n 0 -r 5
[03:24] <hansoffate> i am using the onboard
[03:24] <hansoffate> the tech is asking why i am using a firewire
[03:24] <hansoffate> should i just say its for mythtv?
[03:25] <tgm4883> say it's for your media center pc
[03:27] <hansoffate> ok, thanks.  but yeah, if i do both the p2p test and the broadcast test, both hang at "Testing ..."
[03:27] <hansoffate> wouldn't that mean the port isn't activated?
[03:27] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:27] <tgm4883> do you know what firewire chipset you have?
[03:28] <tgm4883> because in all likelyhood, it could be an unsupported chipset
[03:29] <jawil> why does mythbuntu require so much ram? I have 768MB and watching a movie (MythVideo) causes me to swap and the movie go jittery
[03:29] <tgm4883> jawil, are you sure it's the ram?
[03:29] <hansoffate> i watch all my movies with xine
[03:30] <jawil> tgm4883 not completely sure
[03:30] <tgm4883> jawil, machine specs
[03:30] <jawil> umm, hold up lemme look em up
[03:31] <hansoffate> tgm4883: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131046
[03:31] <hansoffate> northbridge Intel 945g south bridge: intel ICH7
[03:31] <jawil> P4 @ 2.4 Ghz, 768MB Ram, 80Gb main IDE HDD, 320Gb video SATAII HDD
[03:32] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:32] <tgm4883> jawil, 768 should be plenty of ram
[03:32] <tgm4883> what are you watching?
[03:33] <jawil> *ahem* sweeny todd
[03:33] <hansoffate> sweet, good movie.
[03:33] <tgm4883> i mean, dvd, recorded,
[03:34] <jawil> aww, it's an avi on a remote share
[03:34] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:34] <tgm4883> wireless remote?
[03:34] <jawil> the MythBox is wireless so yes
[03:34] <tgm4883> wireless b or g?
[03:34] <jawil> however, I was running mythtv on debian with fluxbox on the same setup and never had any problems
[03:34] <jawil> wireless g
[03:34] <tgm4883> with the same movie?
[03:35] <jawil> not this movie, but I've tested other movies from the same share (that have worked fine on the old setup) and it was still jittery
[03:35] <tgm4883> video card?
[03:36] <jawil> onboard intel based
[03:36] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:36] <jawil> nothing amazing, but like I said, never had a problem on the old setup
[03:36] <jawil> same hardware
[03:36] <tgm4883> what did you use to play it in the old setup?
[03:37] <jawil> mplayer
[03:37] <jawil> that's what it's using now too
[03:37] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:37] <jawil> is there any way to check the connection and ensure it is indeed G?
[03:37] <jawil> because it's a b/g card and a b/g access point
[03:38] <tgm4883> are there other b only devices?
[03:38] <jawil> nope
[03:39] <jawil> oh never mind, just looked at my AP settings, it's set to G only
[03:40] <jawil> I can't get over that it's swapping though
[03:40] <tgm4883> is it really swapping?
[03:40] <jawil> is there a command to see what's taking up ram/swap
[03:40] <tgm4883> cause that doesn't make much sense
[03:40] <jawil> yep, according to top
[03:45] <hansoffate> tgm4883:  after like an hour on comcast chat .... the last tech finally said that he can see my port is unactivated, but he can't activate, and i have to call them now
[03:45] <tgm4883> that would tick me off
[03:45] <hansoffate> i hate this bullshit.  anyways, im out.  I am going to go see a friend.  i'll try again either later tonight or tomorrow.
[03:45] <tgm4883> did he have you go into the box settings?
[03:45] <hansoffate> i wanted to get this working for superbowl.
[03:45] <hansoffate> no.
[03:45] <tgm4883> hmm
[03:46] <tgm4883> sec
[03:46] <tgm4883> i just remembered that there is a real easy way to see if it is activated
[03:46] <tgm4883> it involves hitting like menu right after you power the box on (or is it off)
[03:46] <tgm4883> gets you into a box status page
[03:46] <hansoffate> the tech from this morning told me how to get int othe settings, but i forgot the key combination, i thoguht it was like , pressing the cable, power, 1001, ok on the remote.
[03:49] <tgm4883> Press the Power button to power off the STB and then quickly press OK/SELECT on the STB remote.
[03:49] <hansoffate> oh ... my .... god
[03:49] <hansoffate> i think im stupid
[03:49] <tgm4883> ?
[03:49] <hansoffate> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4127/
[03:49] <hansoffate> i had the damn cable box off...
[03:50] <JThundley> lol
[03:50] <hansoffate> it looks like p2p works.
[03:50] <hansoffate> right?
[03:51]  * tgm4883 tries to not fall over laughing
[03:51] <tgm4883> yea, looks like it works
[03:51] <hansoffate> awesome. i'll continue try to get this set up
[03:54] <hansoffate> seriously, that was incredibly stupid.  thanks for the help tgm.
[03:58] <alexvd_> hi i have to setup my video directory and I seem to forgot the basics.  I have another empty hard drive mounted in the backend.  I want to set up permission for mythtv and alexvd (user).  I will need to read write to it and be able to copy files from across my lan. I also want to setup a symbolic link to /var/lib/mythtv/videos
[03:59] <alexvd_> I setup the harddrive in fstab. I also setup the symbolic link.  I need to setup the permission properly.  I setup permission for mythtv but it lists in the group for mythv not alexvd does that matter?
[04:05] <alexvd_> If I want to set /dev/sdc1 to read write for owner mythtv and put in the alexvd group what commands would I issue.  The same thing for the /var/lib/mythtv/videos directory
[04:55] <dwf_starband> here is what i have done so far, i manually got the programming from schedules direct using the instructions here,  http://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=295
[04:55] <dwf_starband> then I used mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 test.txt
[04:55] <dwf_starband> which manually put that info into the database without downloading
[04:56] <dwf_starband> in my frontend the scheduling appears like it should
[04:56] <dwf_starband> i really dont want to have to do this manually all the time
[04:57] <dwf_starband> also i dont remember what channel change script i was using, the one I thought i was using is only pressing select twice, not select the channel numbers and select again
[04:58] <levander> I've got like fuzzy reddish diagonal lines that show up in the background, more noticeably when there's a black background on the screen. Anybody know what that is?
[04:58] <dwf_starband> im using the change-channel-lirc.sh from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer
[05:05] <dwf_starband> anyone around?
[07:00] <galileo> this is better suited for hte ivtv room, but no one's answering...  anyone available to help figure out problems with my tv tuner?
[07:01] <Tuv0k> just ask
[07:01] <galileo> I've got the HVR-1600 (I know, bad choice, but it's done) and I'm trying to get the beta drivers running.
[07:02] <galileo> I'm following instructions at http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18 but it gets to the part about copying to the firmware directory, and I'm not sure where that is supposed to be.
[07:02] <galileo> dmesg info gives me these lines, so I know I don't have it in the right place yet.

[07:06] <MilhousePunkRock> Morning everyone! What's the best way to have mythwelcome started instead of mythfrontend
[07:55] <superm1> edit /etc/mythtv/session-settings
[08:01] <MilhousePunkRock> superm1: Like you posted on the mailing list a while ago? I was wondering if that applies only for trunk as mentioned there...
[08:02] <MilhousePunkRock> superm1: OK, it is set to MYTHWELCOME=true already. Problem is, it will not detect a manual start properly to launch mythfrontend directly. If I then quit mythfrontend, it crashes and does not bring up mythwelcome again...
[08:07] <MilhousePunkRock> superm1: And ignore my post about the mailing list, that was about replacing /usr/bin/mythfrontend
[08:24] <hansoffate> hey, anyone hee that could help with setting up an ST
[08:24] <hansoffate> STB?
[08:25] <hansoffate> I am having issues testing if i set it up correctly it
[08:26] <hansoffate> *without the it
[08:30] <hansoffate> I just went to tuner status for my STB and it says unavailable
[08:59] <hansoffate> if anyone has time - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4130/
[08:59] <hansoffate> i need help setting up a STB
[09:37] <[nrx]> eyup
[15:09] <[nrx]> :)
[15:10] <[nrx]> the shares that mythbuntu sets up, are they in the homedir or the user?
[15:10] <[nrx]> i just tried to copy over some music... and it's vanished
[15:12] <adaptr> vanished from the share ?
[15:12] <adaptr> that's unlikely
[15:13] <[nrx]> well, it was all copying over..
[15:13] <[nrx]> and now when i've one to view it, it's not there
[15:13] <adaptr> view where ? you're not being very clear
[15:15] <[nrx]> okay, the box is sitting on the network.. and it has shares on the network for music/videos/etc
[15:15] <[nrx]> I've dragged and dropped an album to the music directory
[15:15] <[nrx]> it showed as copying over, from this machine
[15:16] <[nrx]> no, when i've gone to view the network share again, from this box, there is nothing there.
[15:16] <[nrx]> i've tried to find the location on the MythTV box (via ssh) and the Music directory is empty.
[15:16] <[nrx]> now, if i try and copy it again from this machine via the network share, it says the folder already exists
[15:16] <adaptr> check the actual media locations in mythtv setup
[15:17] <[nrx]> do you know offhand what the default location is?
[15:17] <adaptr>  /var/lib/mythtv/*
[15:18] <[nrx]> thanks
[15:18] <[nrx]> can you shed any light as to why it's not showing up in network shares?
[15:32] <Rigolo> good afternoon
[15:33] <Rigolo> I have a mythbuntu question: Can I do a direct weekly trunk installation directly from the live CD?
[15:34] <Rigolo> can I enable the trunk repositories already during the installation? or only afterwards
[15:48] <Lossif> am I correct in assuming the lircrc file needs to be setup both for set up for both "mythtv" and "mplayer"?
[15:49] <Lossif> woops... little repetitive there...
[15:53] <superm1> Rigolo, as of the next alpha of 8.04, trunk is included
[15:53] <superm1> otherwise on gutsy, you have to manually activate it
[16:52] <Rigolo> superm1: when do you expect a mythbuntu alpha to appear?
[16:52] <superm1> Rigolo, well i wanted it to appear this weekend, but there was a mishap with the ubuntu archive
[16:52] <superm1> and the trunk builds aren't in the archive yet
[16:52] <superm1> they are sitting in the NEW queue
[16:52] <Rigolo> superm1: okee, so sometime next week then?
[16:52] <superm1> yeah
[16:53] <superm1> Rigolo, we'll have an announcement on the website when we do it
[16:53] <superm1> so just subscribe to that RSS feed
[16:53] <superm1> additionally we'll announce on the mailing list
[16:53] <Rigolo> okee, I want to rebuild my backend server with mythbunut, multirec(now in trunc) and sasc-ng
[16:53] <superm1> well i'll pretend i didn't hear that last part, but multirec is in the builds yes
[16:53] <Rigolo> I've got 4 dvb-c cards lined up
[16:54] <Rigolo> why is everybody so paranoid about sasc-ng ... I use it with a completly legal fully paid digital cable subscription
[16:55] <Lossif> sasc-ng?
[16:55] <Rigolo> you can legally share a card inside your own lan
[16:55] <superm1> i understand that.  the legality of its usage has not been determined though
[16:55] <superm1> and so there is no endorsement behind it from upstream (or us for that matter)
[16:56] <Rigolo> well ... that makes sense ... it is not your software
[16:56] <superm1> the reason people are paranoid about it, they dont want it associated with their software in the event that something legal does go astray
[16:57] <Rigolo> Lossif: sasc-ng is software that will "clone" your dvb-x (s.c.t) cards and allows you to use a softcam to decrypt dvb content
[16:57] <Rigolo> it is using the sc component from the VDR project
[16:58] <Rigolo> superm1: okee but as long as you use a valid card and only inside your own lan I can see nothing wrong with it.
[16:59] <Rigolo> got to go ... have to watch the kids making dinner ... before my house burns down :-)
[17:00] <superm1> Rigolo, i agree that I would like it to be fine to use on your own lan, but i'm not making the call on it.  so as to avoid conflict we just adopt the view of upstream on it
[17:00] <superm1> good luck with that:)
[17:24] <adaptr> is there a simple explanation why installing mythtv-backend or mythtv-database wants to install an entire GUI desktop ? I just want to run the database and jobs on a server
[17:24] <superm1> adaptr, neither does
[17:24] <adaptr> oh yes it does
[17:25] <superm1> they'll install zenity and gksudo
[17:25] <superm1> and their dependencies
[17:25] <superm1> not a whole desktop
[17:25] <adaptr> nope, the entire suite of gnome libraries
[17:25] <adaptr> 177 packages for -databse, 277 for -backend
[17:25] <superm1> don't use aptitude to install it
[17:25] <superm1> use apt-get
[17:25] <adaptr> aah
[17:25] <adaptr> thanks
[17:25] <adaptr> sometimes, deep dependency checking sux
[17:25]  * superm1 hates aptitude for that exact reason
[17:25] <adaptr> well, it's great for the desktop, you won't forget anything that way
[17:27] <adaptr> I had no idea there were so many differences between apt and aptitude, though
[17:27] <adaptr> this may also explain why it keeps insisting I install Exim when all I want is smartmontools :)
[18:22] <onesojourner> can some one help me get vnc set up?
[18:30] <Tar1> I can try
[18:30] <Tar1> just open up mythbuntu-control-centre and find where you can enable VNC
[18:30] <Tar1> that should work
[19:11] <hansoffate> Hi, anyone here can help me setup my STB?
[19:11] <hansoffate> i tried yesterday, but for some reaos it isn't workin
[20:19] <[nrx]> hi
[20:20] <[nrx]> anyone from the UK had issues receiving some channels? as though they're encrypted
[20:42] <TheOnly1MadHatte> hey
[21:05] <sshirley> hi all
[21:05] <sshirley> if i install mythbuntu using a vga monitor and i select s-video output for the main output, will that work?
[21:05] <adaptr> do you HAVE an S-Video output ?
[21:07] <sshirley> yes
[21:07] <adaptr> so.. why would this NOT work ?
[21:08] <sshirley> i have an ati card with dual dvi-i ports and a s-video. right now i have my monitor hooked up to my card (because the s-video output before loading in the proprietary ati was crap) and i want to hook up my tv too. upon boot up will it recognize the tv (assuming the monitor is gone)?
[21:10] <adaptr> not likely, but since the S_Video is NOT a separate output (it cannot be and never is), just set your primary screen to the one that will output to the S-Video port
[21:11] <sshirley> in ubuntu or myth?
[21:12] <sshirley> also, is there a prferred location for video storage? i created /, swap, and /home
[21:12] <sshirley> meaning /home/recordsings or something?
[21:13] <sshirley> / is ext3 and /home is xfs
[21:13] <adaptr> there is a default
[21:13] <adaptr> you can set it to wahtever pleases you
[21:14] <adaptr> Display settings in Ubuntu and MythTV are not separate, since they obviously address the same displays
[21:14] <adaptr> but you can set up Myth to output the interface (and the videos..) to a separate screen from the OS
[21:14] <adaptr> this does mean, however, that you cannot reach ubuntu any longer on that screen
[21:14] <sshirley> if i set the recordings to /home/recordings, will it be accessible to myth (since the main user is sshirley
[21:14] <adaptr> which for me is a disadvantage
[21:15] <adaptr> you haven't read shit all documentation, have you ? :)
[21:15] <sshirley> :-)  the docs blow
[21:15] <adaptr> like hell they do
[21:15] <adaptr> they very well explain what you are asking
[21:22] <sshirley> well, here is something that is not explained. in regards to channel freq table, what is the difference between us-cable and us-cable-hrc?
[21:23] <sshirley> also, i assume i should use AUTO for time offset for XMLTV listings
[21:23] <sshirley> or -0500 for EST
[21:29] <TheOnly1MadHatte> whats the easiest way to stream my video from my tv tuner card over the internet
[21:30] <TheOnly1MadHatte> i also want to be ablt to change the channels
[21:30] <TheOnly1MadHatte> i know of orb but cant get it to work with my hauppauge wintv go card
[21:34] <sshirley> i'm setting up my pvr-500. it has 2 inputs. should i set up 2 capture cards? /dev/video0 and /dev/video1?
[21:34] <sshirley> if i set up 2, it gives me tuner1 as the default input
[22:01] <sshirley> i'm booting for the first time. but my machine doesn't want to seem to want to go higher than 800x600. i'm using s-video out. to what should i set it to? monitor or lcd? it's a normal tube tv
[22:06] <rhpot1991> superm1: might want to check your house recording, mine was only set to record 45mins after the super bowl postgame show
[22:13] <onesojourner> could some one help me with vnc?
