| MythbuntuGuest49 | Hi, I am trying to setup a remote mythtv frontend machine to play videos and music | 03:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I've got the rest of the stuff working properly (live TV, recordings) | 03:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I am having troubles setting up the samba sharing | 03:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | any help would be highly appreciated | 03:23 |
| superm1 | keescook, you around by chance? | 04:06 |
| superm1 | or does vacation end for you as of tomorrow :)? | 04:06 |
| superm1 | keescook, well whenever you come back around, I was looking for sponsorship on another lirc upload, as described on https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/lirc/ubuntu . I was hoping to get it in before FF if at all possible (it's a bit of a drastic change to how lirc-modules-source functions) | 04:16 |
| npurciful | err | 04:45 |
| npurciful | hey superm1 | 04:45 |
| Aquahallic | Evenin' folks.... | 06:50 |
| Aquahallic | on a frontend only setup of mythtv.... seems like I can't get it to auto-skip my commercials | 06:51 |
| Aquahallic | anyone else experiencing this? | 06:51 |
| Aquahallic | when I look at the recording on mythweb it has commflag "yes".... also if I use a keyboard shortcut (z) it does skip the commercial | 06:56 |
| Assid | err.. when i connect my digital box to my tv tuner.. it seems when i navigate/use the functions of the box its pretty darn slow | 07:42 |

| ubud | I install mythtv on top of ubuntu. but keep having no signal problem | 12:03 |
| Seeker` | hi | 14:24 |
| Seeker` | I have an analog TV card (PVR-150), and I get a background hiss while watching TV / recordings | 14:25 |
| [nrx] | hi | 14:25 |
| [nrx] | keep your snake in it's vivarium then | 14:25 |
| [nrx] | :D | 14:25 |
| [nrx] | sorry :P | 14:25 |
| Seeker` | when the program has no sound, there isn't any hiss, but it seems to start a fraction of a second before sound starts, and ends a fraction of a second after | 14:25 |
| Seeker` | any ideas? | 14:28 |
| WcktKlwn | are you sure it's the card and not the sound card? | 14:37 |
| Seeker` | i turned up the sound bitrate for recordings, and it seems to be better | 14:44 |
| Seeker` | it was on something like 30kbps | 14:44 |
| davisc | Is there an easy way to add a menu item for mythtv setup from within mythbuntu frontend? (Lauching mythbuntu-control-centre breaks as I don't have a keyboard to type in the root password) | 18:27 |
| HighNo | hm, just having a first look at the screenshots. Does mythbuntu really look that slick? :-) | 19:47 |
| Dorward | I'm trying to use mytharchive, but it is failing with "ERROR Failed while running mytharchivehelper to get stream information from '/tmp/work/1/newfile2.mpg'. this doesn't seem to be a FAQ. Does anyone know what is going on here? Or have a suggestion to get more information about the error? Thanks. | 19:54 |
| davisc | HighNo: Yes, pretty much :-) | 19:59 |
| JThundley | HighNo: yes | 19:59 |
| adaptr | HighNo: run it in OpenGL and it'll look even better... that's not on the screenshots :) | 20:19 |
| Seeker` | Dorward: It may be due to permissions errors | 20:20 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I'm not a fan of opengl in my myth | 20:20 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | might be cause my boxers are uberpowerful | 20:20 |
| adaptr | I'm a 12" fan of OpenGL | 20:20 |
| adaptr | your boxers ? | 20:20 |
| adaptr | that's slightly TMI | 20:20 |
| HighNo | :-) | 20:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | boxes | 20:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | stupid fingers and their not working like my brain tells them to | 20:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | heh | 20:21 |
| adaptr | so.. why would fast boxes have anything to do with NOT using OpenGL ? | 20:22 |
| adaptr | Qt is light compared to OpenGL | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | didn't seem as responsive when I used OpenGL | 20:22 |
| HighNo | hm, do dvb-s usb receivers exist - with support for HD? | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | all OpenGL gives you is animations between menus IIRC | 20:23 |
| HighNo | I would love to exchange my receiver with mythbuntu now - and that would be on the wishlist for my next one... | 20:23 |
| adaptr | rhpot1991_laptop: not..quite, it also does real transaprency, as opposed to computer transparency | 20:23 |
| adaptr | *computed, darn | 20:24 |
| adaptr | rhpot1991_laptop: but I just set it to OpenGL after the install and forgot about it, frankly | 20:24 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | been a while since I messed with it too, back when I was setting up and didn't really know what I was doing | 20:24 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | maybe I should revisit it and see how it runs now | 20:24 |
| adaptr | I set it up 3 weeks ago, and am at the point that I know that IT doesn't know what it's doing | 20:25 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I've contemplated stopping using XvMC too | 20:25 |
| adaptr | xvmc ? | 20:25 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC | 20:25 |
| adaptr | ahh... hmmno, I don't generally do DVDs | 20:26 |
| adaptr | does it work under xvidix ? | 20:26 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | X-Video Motion Compensation, or XvMC, is a part of The X Window System which allows video programs to offload motion compensation and iDCT (Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform) portions of MPEG-2 decoding to the GPU hardware. XvMC can greatly reduce CPU utilization when playing back MPEG-2 video. | 20:27 |
| adaptr | yes, I clicked the link | 20:27 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | ah ok, was confused by your dvd comment | 20:27 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | not sure how it works with xvid | 20:27 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I think you would still need to burn cpu to decode them for playback | 20:28 |
| HighNo | adaptr: DVD? DVB = digital video broadcast - satelite | 20:28 |
| Dorward | Seeker`: Nope, not a permissions issue, all the files are 666 | 20:36 |
| Seeker` | Dorward: I got that error, and other similar ones, and it was fixed when i logged in as the "mythtv" user instead | 20:36 |
| adaptr | HighNo: no, I don't do TV either - it's just a pr0n - sorry, video playing box :) | 20:37 |
| Dorward | Seeker`: I'm running it from the GUI in the interface. Do you think I should try it from the command line instead? | 20:37 |
| HighNo | adaptr: :-) | 20:37 |
| Seeker` | Dorward: I was doing it from the GUI | 20:37 |
| adaptr | HighNo: hooked up to my download machine and a 1.5TB NAS, for when I gets bored | 20:38 |
| HighNo | slick | 20:38 |
| Dorward | Seeker`: Ah. I'll give that a try then. Thanks. | 20:38 |
| adaptr | HighNo: still struggling to make the mythbox do what I want, though - I have many small gripes and a few larger ones, still trying to work out the kinks | 20:38 |
| Dorward | Is it safe to change the password on the mythtv user account? I've never used it (since installing from mythbuntu) so I don't know what it is. | 20:39 |
| adaptr | th ebare fact is that a friend of mine runs the XBOX XBMC and it's way slicker than mythbuntu - on a P3 733 with seriously no hardware to speak of | 20:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | if by way slicker you mean slowerrrr, then sure | 20:39 |
| adaptr | Dorward: as long as you don't change the mysql password; the user is not used to log in | 20:40 |
| * rhpot1991_laptop has xmbc hooked into his mythbox as a frontend | 20:40 | |
| Dorward | adaptr: Excellent. Thanks. | 20:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I don't like it to say the least | 20:40 |
| adaptr | rhpot1991_laptop: disagree ! XBMC runs lightning fast on his TV | 20:40 |
| adaptr | err.. XBOX and TV :) | 20:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | not as a frontend though, it has to query to change shows constantly | 20:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | and live tv is questionable as far getting it to work | 20:40 |
| adaptr | live TV on an XBOX ? | 20:41 |
| adaptr | doubtful.... | 20:41 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | live tv through your mythtv-backend | 20:41 |
| HighNo | adaptr: I would go into it if I knew it would support some dvb-s hd stuff. I will have a thinkpad to be my server soon (this one's display is about to fall into pieces...) and I have a beamer anyway so I would like to see some 1024x768 progressive action | 20:41 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | using xbmc as a fronend with the python scripts | 20:41 |
| adaptr | ehm, no.. just XMBC, music and videos | 20:42 |
| adaptr | mythTV's music section sucks gigantic monkey balls, unfortunately | 20:42 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I like my recording functionality thank you :) | 20:42 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | what kind of annoyances do you have? | 20:42 |
| adaptr | rhpot1991_laptop: true, if you need it - I don't watch TV for fear my eyes will fall out | 20:42 |
| adaptr | it has nothing I particularly want to see - I don't live in the US :) | 20:42 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | might be better going with xbmc or something then, the real meat behind mythtv are the recordings | 20:43 |
| adaptr | annoyances.... oh, well, how about video playlists ? video ranking, and shuffling playlists based on popularity ? how about automatic, inotify-driven, instantaneous database updates | 20:43 |
| adaptr | everything, basically, that amaroK has, but for video | 20:44 |
| adaptr | how about IMDB queries that WORK :) | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | most IMDB queries work | 20:44 |
| adaptr | I would *run* XBMC if I had an Xbox... | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | the ones that don't I normally get href="blah blah" | 20:44 |
| adaptr | none have worked for me yet | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | and you can see the numbers you need | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | pull them out and type them in by hand | 20:44 |
| HighNo | adaptr: In my setup of dreams it would automatically get the newest stuff like 'the office' 'simpsons' 'heros' and stuff like that via bittorrent and I'll come home, switch it on whenever I want to and have a great evening of nice tv stuff :-) | 20:45 |
| adaptr | 2200 times so far ? no, thanks :) | 20:45 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I'd say about 3/4 of mine work | 20:45 |
| alexvd_ | adaptr: some people like elisa. I dont but you can take a look. It does have some issues | 20:45 |
| adaptr | HighNo: yes, my plan exactly | 20:45 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | really you have done 2200 imdb queries? | 20:45 |
| adaptr | alexvd_: I did take a look, and it refuses to play anything I try to open :) | 20:45 |
| alexvd_ | yep me too | 20:45 |
| adaptr | rhpot1991_laptop: sorry ? isn't it supposed to hit IMDB automatically for anything in the library ? | 20:45 |
| adaptr | if not, that's just ....stupid :) | 20:46 |
| adaptr | why automate when it doesn't, actually, automate ? | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | video library? | 20:46 |
| adaptr | yers | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | no it doesn't | 20:46 |
| adaptr | :( | 20:46 |
| adaptr | now I'm sad... | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | you go into the video manager, and push right (or enter, I forget) on a video | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | menu pops up and you choose search IMDB | 20:46 |
| adaptr | and there's no way to do it for the entire library ? | 20:47 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | you can modify in mythweb too, might be easier if you have a huge library | 20:47 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | not that I know of, but I haven't really looked | 20:47 |
| alexvd_ | adaptr: yes thier is a script you can run. search is your friend | 20:47 |
| adaptr | sjeesh.... them folks never did think of real downloaders :) | 20:47 |
| adaptr | alexvd_: you mean teh goog is my friend ? | 20:47 |
| alexvd_ | i think its on knoppmyth forums | 20:47 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HighNo: in theory you could script all that out | 20:48 |
| Seeker` | Dorward: I dont believe there is a password | 20:48 |
| adaptr | alexvd_: thanks, I'll check it out | 20:48 |
| Seeker` | Dorward: You can change it using "sudo passwd mythtv" i believe | 20:48 |
| adaptr | Seeker`: you can most definitely change it like that, but his point was whether he *should* | 20:49 |
| adaptr | AFAIK mythtv uses it only to log in automatically on a headless frontend, or else it never get sused | 20:49 |
| adaptr | s/headless/desktopless/ | 20:49 |
| Seeker` | adaptr: Well, Daviey advised me to do it a while ago, and it doesn't seem ot have borked my system | 20:50 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: Mee too, it's just the thing I will have to use a notebook and therefore I need a usb receiver. I have satelite but I do want hd. | 20:51 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: I want the maximum geekness out of it :-) | 20:51 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | gets tough there, currently all you can get is svideo out of your satellite system so its technically not HD | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | keep an eye out for the new hauppauge h.264 usb encoder box | 20:52 |
| Dorward | Seeker`: Yup, thanks. I just wanted to make sure it was safe first. | 20:53 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: the whole setup should be <500 bucks as that's what a technisat HD s2 would cost, which is a twin receiver pvr hd-capable ethernet connected beast with nice gui and a high waf (woman's acceptance factor) | 20:53 |
| Daviey | Seeker`: what did i do? | 20:54 |
| Seeker` | Daviey: Got me to set a password for the mythtv user | 20:54 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HighNo: thats gonna be rough cause that tuner is supposed to be $250 on its own I think | 20:55 |
| Daviey | Seeker`: did i? | 20:55 |
| Daviey | Oh, that was becasue you were having group problems - to help debug.. Didn't mean to do it as a production thing | 20:55 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: that's half the price - it would be ok. The thinkpad is here without extra cost. I would love to do programming via web frontend on my iphone :-) | 20:56 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HighNo: you should be able to easily operate it headless, mythweb and ssh, though I'm not sure exactly what your needs are | 20:58 |
| HighNo | I also think of doing the recordings at the basement and my wife watching her shows in the upper rooms - she would love that | 20:58 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | thats what I do, have 2 backends, one in my office, one in the living room. Each one can access the others recordings, works out real well | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | you can do similar with just tuners in a backend and a frontend somewhere else, and so on | 20:59 |
| Seeker` | Daviey: Yeah, when I was having problems with permissions and burning stuff to DVD | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HighNo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythExport might interest you with the iPhone and what not | 21:00 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: mostly do programming reordings from dvb-s via a nice webfrontend without use of ssh as my iphone (no jailbreak) don't have one. oh, using the iphone as a mythtv client would be rocking, though that would include transcoding to quicktime stuff... | 21:00 |
| HighNo | rhpot1991_laptop: great! | 21:00 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hopefully that will make it into hardy | 21:01 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | working on packaging the script up today | 21:01 |
| HighNo | now if it would also update my dsl line to greater upstream bandwidht I could watch tv everywhere :-) | 21:01 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | GUI and some other features will follow when I am done slacking | 21:01 |
| HighNo | I can do iphone testing if you like/need to | 21:01 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I have it (not that version, one on my box) so it generates a podcast feed of whatever you export | 21:02 |
| HighNo | My idea was no podcast but simply live viewing on the iphone. I don't want to boot a windows machine to get iTunes sync my phone | 21:03 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | supposedly the new version of mythweb will stream via flash with a proper ffmpeg | 21:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | though I think iPhone lacks flash doesn't it? | 21:04 |
| HighNo | I see the script exports files to a certain directory. It would be no problem to do a webfrontend for that directory to have the files be running directly on the iphone | 21:04 |
| HighNo | correct - iphone has no flash | 21:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | might be able to hack up mythweb to point at an ipod encoded directory and try to launch them from mythweb | 21:05 |
| * Dorward tries running things from the command line. | 21:05 | |
| Dorward | Would I be right in remembering that "Parser not found for Codec Id: 94212" is code for "Ha ha, UK person, there is no decoder available for this codec"? | 21:05 |
| HighNo | hehe | 21:06 |
| HighNo | might be - I'm no UK person :-) | 21:06 |
| Dorward | hmm, it seems to be running despite those errors | 21:07 |
| * Dorward lets it tick on | 21:07 | |
| alexvd_ | dorward: i think that error is meaningless | 21:10 |
| Dorward | alexvd_: I think you're right | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HighNo: when the RSS stuff gets added it will be optional, so you would be able to generate the ipod recordings without all the other fluff | 21:11 |
| HighNo | nice | 21:21 |

| fesha | alexvd: the time is correct | 22:22 |
| fesha | alexvd: Do you know much about mythtv? I got everything working it is just when I go to use the guide everything breaks | 22:24 |
| alexvd | are you running ati for graphics card | 22:25 |
| fesha | Yeah | 22:25 |
| alexvd | ok at the time i was having the crash i had ati card | 22:25 |
| alexvd | i switched and it fixed it | 22:25 |
| alexvd | although I dont think that was the cause | 22:25 |
| alexvd | it was 2 years ago | 22:26 |
| alexvd | did you do a search on the mythtv-user list on gossammer threads | 22:26 |
| fesha | I had MythTv on this system before with that card and I recently just rebuilt the system with a 1tb drive and I so while I was doing I decided to go with the Mythbuntu pakage and now it doesnt work | 22:26 |
| alexvd | hmm | 22:27 |
| chuk | is mythbuntu 8.04 alpha publically available? | 22:27 |
| alexvd | I cant remember how i fixed. I seem to think it was somethig with the time. I think I had different timezone or something. | 22:27 |
| fesha | chuk: I have 7.10 I dont know about 8.04 | 22:29 |
| fesha | alexvd: I have the right time and I know for a fact the my card isnt the problem. Thanx for your help though | 22:32 |

| Tuv0k | Got an email from you , but can't make it out. | 23:31 |
| Tuv0k | I've had an accident, and my vision is temorarily impared. | 23:31 |
| Tuv0k | Can't help like I would like. | 23:32 |
| Tuv0k | But I can confirm that the modules do not compile, and the blaster firmware is still not included | 23:32 |
| Tuv0k | So everytime I update the kernel, I have to manually add the blaster file to the firmware in order for the remote to work. | 23:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | I have a frontend / backend successfully up and running...my purpose is only to play recorded DVD and Music files. | 23:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | I have successfully connected to a freenas server using nfs | 23:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | however the NAS keeps failing....drive just disconnect... | 23:49 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | the drives are formatted ufs...is this compatible with Mythbuntu if i directly mount into the front/backend box? | 23:49 |
| directhex | never heard of ufs | 23:57 |
| directhex | hm, it's in the kernel though | 23:58 |
| directhex | filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/kernel/fs/ufs/ufs.ko | 23:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | sounds like it might be worth a try | 23:59 |
| directhex | "Linux includes a UFS implementation for binary compatibility at the read level with other Unixes, but since there is no standard implementation for the vendor extensions to UFS, Linux does not have full support for writing to UFS." | 23:59 |
