[00:34] ok what do u do to find the right screen resolution for a tv? Everything i've seen so far suggest that i should be using 1920x1080 but it's too big for my screen [00:37] lime4x4, what's your tv? [00:37] a 51 inch widescreen i'm using the dvi connection [00:38] brand & model? [00:39] hitachi 51f500 [00:42] bloody rear projection [00:42] yeah but it still has a great picture yet. Don't feel like buying another tv [00:44] with hdmi inputs [00:45] i'm seeing suggestions that it has a native res of 720p [00:46] 1080i (HDTV) ? 720p (HDTV) ? 480p (EDTV) ? 480i (SDTV) ? 540p [00:46] 1280x720 [00:48] i will try that and c what happens [00:52] well that didn't work. my desktop gets bigger and i can actually read it when i open a window but it's still way to big yet [00:54] define "way too big". it's normal behaviour to lose 5% of your border [00:55] well when i'm on the desktop i don't have the top or bottom panel [00:56] and when i'm watching tv the tops of people's head's are cut off [00:58] just my luck to finally get a system together setup that it works and now i have a finicky tv...lol [00:58] overscan is normal, but can be adjusted in myth. don't ask me how though, my tv doesn't overscan [01:00] must be nice....lol [01:01] well i guess i'll go over to the mythtv-users room and c if they have any good advice === jgerhardt is now known as Lossif [03:01] Hi, Anyone here know about setting up an STB? [03:50] after installing mythbuntu, do i have to create the user mythtv myself? [03:58] i'm not sure if this is a linux, mythbuntu, or strictly myth question, but can anyone guess as to why my box is not saving my video driver or network configuration? [04:01] sshirley: no, it should work out of the box [04:02] if i go under 'users and groups', 'mythtv' is not there [04:03] also, everytime that i boot up, it asks me to identify my card [04:03] video card [04:03] 'could not be detected' [04:04] i am using an ATI Radeon 2600 HD PRO. I want to use the fglx (??) driver, but it defaults to vesa. [04:07] when myth (mythbuntu) boots up, i get a 'cannot to backend' error. i set both the backend and frontend to 127.0.0.1 (both same machine) [04:18] I just noticed that in the mythbuntu control center, there is a standalone mythtv session started upon boot. it is set to my user (sshirley). should it be set to mythtv (or is it mythuser)? [04:30] ok....mythbackewnd isn't running because /home/mythrecordings is not writeable by the current user. /home/mythrecordings has the same permissions as /var/lib/myth/records (the default during installation). the current user i believe is sshirley. i would think that mythbuntu would have created the user mythtv [05:59] Anyone there that can help? I cannot seem to connect to my mysql database with the mythtv backend [06:02] Can anyone help with thise message? MYTH COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE DATABASE. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR DATABASE SETTINGS BELOW [07:33] hello [07:50] mythtv-status [07:50] Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/mythtv-status line 423. [07:50] Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/mythtv-status line 424. [07:56] nvm [11:47] Hi - I've a question about the weekly -fixes build for mythbuntu... [11:50] I've been using the weekly builds (the fixes branch) repo for months without any problems. However, today, it wanted to upgrade to 0.20.99+trunk15758 which looks wrong to me. [11:50] Does anyone know whether that's intentional ? [15:15] Has anyone got the Gyration MCE remote to work completly with mythbuntu? [15:20] Could some one tell me what the command is to initialize vcn [15:22] MythbuntuGuest10: you can do it via MCC, or are you talking for a client? [15:24] Actually I am not real sure. I have set it up before with the help of Dr_willis on here. He had me run a simple progrom in terminal that configured everything. [15:26] so is the vnc server running or no? [15:27] I have vnc4server installed. [15:28] ok, then you are looking for how to connect to it then? [15:30] I think I just need to run something like vncviewer media-center:0 from another machine. last time I set it up I had to do some configuration in the terminal on the media center before it would work. [15:31] vncviewer 192.168.1.25:0 [15:31] replace your ip [15:32] ok thanks I will give that a try when I get home. thanks for your help. [15:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [15:32] bookmark that or something [15:33] will do thanks. [15:33] tgm4883: you ever see dvd's that are copied via mythtv or other methods that have css errors when you try to play back the iso? [15:34] no [15:35] Has anyone got the Gyration MCE remote to work completly with mythbuntu? [15:35] where are you seeing the error? [15:35] mythfrontend log [15:35] let me find an example [15:35] does the dvd stop playing? [15:37] takes forever to launch the menu, and on one it hangs when I go to play a song from it (its a concert), and the other get all corrupted video when I go to play it [15:38] hmm [15:38] error message? [15:38] working on it [15:38] !pastebin [15:38] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [15:38] k [15:39] is the concert a big time pressed disk? [15:39] not sure, how do I tell? [15:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54859/ [15:40] well i'm just asking if it's like a local concert burned disk or a pressed disk [15:40] thats from the concert, launches hangs on the one VOB forever, then I choose a submenu (works fine), choose a song, and then it just hangs till I killed it [15:40] pressed disc [15:40] something you would buy or rent [15:40] strange [15:41] i've never seen this happen before [15:41] try ripping with a different drive [15:41] the other one that gets corrupted video is an old excersize video I was trying to get on there for my wife, so I'm not surprised that had problems (though others in the series don't) [15:41] maybe it is a bad drive [15:41] I'll try that and see [16:14] Does anyone know why the 0.20.2-fixes weekly build appears to be tracking trunk ? [16:36] I'll take the overwhelming silence as a no then [16:48] aglet, looks like a mistake [16:48] aglet, i'll clean that up [16:49] thanks for reporting it [16:49] Cheers :) [16:49] I'm all for staying on the bleeding edge but I'd rather know about it before I do ;) [16:49] can you comment on the forums [16:49] it looks like you opened a a post there [16:49] Will do [16:49] just mention that its a mistake [16:49] i'll push the fixes again manually this time [16:52] Have updated the post. Thanks again ! [17:13] is there a good tut for mythstream out there? [17:14] I am having the hardest time trying to get "podcasts" to play on it... [17:14] or actually videocasts [17:19] Or I guess the better question would be to ask , is there a good way to grab podcasts with myth? [17:41] Hi, can anyone here help me setup a STB? [17:54] Bug 183683 [17:54] superm1, "won't fix"? [17:54] upstream decided [17:54] click on the upstream bug [17:55] how do i completely remove mythbuntu?

I am experiencing crashes of mythfrontend when I try to export recordings to DVD. Also selecting the different steps is quite slow, but after "Create DVD" the mythfrontend window disappears. I do not see any logging that could indicate problems. Ideas? [21:28] hello all [21:28] having issues getting my machine to act as a backend properly [21:28] where do I edit the config for the machine to id the backend server? [21:35] anyone out there? [23:27] I just did a kernel upgrade through updates and the backend won't start [23:44] I just got MythTV working, after some mysql issues, and now when I go to "Watch TV" it says the TV tuner is already being used to record something, I can go to recordings and watch it from there, or delete it, and it isn't recording anything, since I just got Myth setup. I think it might be because I installed ivtv-utils when I was trying to watch TV, but I uninstalled it, and I still get this message. Any ideas?
