OpenMediaOooo Lovely..00:00
foxbuntuyeah00:00
foxbuntuI think I have a soultion but its going to take quite allot of dev work00:01
OpenMediaYou might need to throw in AAC as it isn't just NZ. Norway is going that way, and the UK might be following when they do HD on terrestrial00:01
foxbuntusigh00:01
OpenMediaHmmm Gotta go for 5...00:01
foxbuntuok00:01
directhexOpenMedia, AFAIK, there's a twiddle in the database to enable loop filter skipping, which makes h264 playback rather less taxing on the ol' cpu00:06
MythbuntuGuest23Using Hardy pkg...  Setting Myth up and ran updates/upgrades this afternoon.  Now I cannot get Recordings, Videos, or watch live TV.00:09
directhexMythbuntuGuest23, do you have distinct back & frontends?00:10
MythbuntuGuest23getting a lot of crashes.00:10
MythbuntuGuest23Well, I think it may be related to Update Manager stalling...  Fails to install python.apt, mythbuntu-control-centre, update-manager, update-manager-core00:11
MythbuntuGuest23Not sure what you mean by distinct back and front;  Running both front/back from 1 PC.00:12
OpenMediadirecthex Thanks for that.00:14
OpenMediafoxbuntu: gotta drop off for a reboot.00:15
foxbuntunp00:15
MythbuntuGuest23Any thoughts as to how to get LIVE TV and Recordings to work?  Also, would like to know why Python.apt is not installing.00:15

Ghost1227although it is the first time i've done something this in depth in almost a year... building from the ground up02:20
npurcifullol, 1.9 TB free, i am retarted just wanted to see what it would be like so i made a 2TB virtual drive image02:22
npurcifulit took like 40min to write the inode tables02:23
szakulechow much actual space does it take up?02:24
npurciful9mb02:24
szakulecnot bad02:24
foxbuntuwell then just make a 500TB Virtual drive :)02:24

npurcifulor 2TB02:26
npurcifulit fun to have the thing you cant afford02:27
Ghost1227lol02:27
szakulecbased on what you said, to do a 1 PB image would take 333 hours or so02:27

MythbuntuGuest23I am on the Hardy pkg...  Is the Feisty package mostly bug free.. Thinking of switching as I have been having too many problems.02:55
tgm4883_laptoppkg of what?02:56
MythbuntuGuest23I am on 8.04 alpha 2...  It is crashing often and now I cannot get TV.  Unsure if it is related to the latest bug or if I will have continued problems.  Thinking of switching to 7.0402:57
MythbuntuGuest23Wondering if it is stable and bug free...  Also would like to know if it has the same version of MythTV02:58
tgm4883_laptopwell mythbuntu doesn't have a 7.04, only a 7.1002:59
MythbuntuGuest23ur right...  Is it stable? and does it have the same MythTV version?03:00
tgm4883_laptopit uses .20.203:00
tgm4883_laptopalthough you can use .21 if you like03:00
MythbuntuGuest23And how would I be able to get .21?03:01
tgm4883_laptophttp://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds03:01
MythbuntuGuest23Does .21 have issues? or is it Ubuntu that is giving me the headache?03:01
tgm4883_laptopcould be both, they are both technically unstable, however, i'd lean toward it being hardy, as it is more unstable03:02
MythbuntuGuest23OK, thanks...  I think I am going to do a clean install of 7.1.  When Hardy and 2.1 are stable, I will be able to upgrade to them w/o having to run a fresh install?03:04
tgm4883_laptopyes03:08
MythbuntuGuest23Great, thanks for the assistance tgm488303:09
MythbuntuGuest23OK, now I am having problems w/ 7.1 install...  Getting Debootstrap warning.  Failure wile configuring base packages.  Unable to continue.03:11

MythbuntuGuest23Is update-manager the same as apt-get update?04:56
MythbuntuGuest23For now right...  Seems to me, if I can recall correctly, the baseball leagues striked more than once (wanted more money).04:57
npurcifulupdate-manager is a gui for apt04:57
MythbuntuGuest23nice to know04:57
npurcifuland they have million dollar contract, gofigure04:58
MythbuntuGuest23right... Think the set designers, camera men, ect are going to get more money with this strike or will they be next?04:58
* npurciful notes: goes out of his way to use commandline!04:59
npurcifuluh if the cameramen left we would be screwed04:59
MythbuntuGuest23How did I install the nvidia driver last night superml.05:00
MythbuntuGuest23npurciful...  I wonder if the writers were working when they went on strike, you know, still writing...  If they took a vacation I recon it will be a while until heroes and other kicka** shows are on.05:01
MythbuntuGuest23Not seeing Nvidia logo at boot or in the System> folder.05:02
npurcifulyeah, if i where a writer i would be working on material05:02

superm1look on help.ubuntu.com05:18
MythbuntuGuest23There is a plethera of knowledge out there... each does it a bit different05:18
MythbuntuGuest23I started on this today, but had to load 7.10... Used a doc for the H2...  Could not find one for H3 which is what I use.05:20
npurcifulMythbuntuGuest23: that case is crazy05:20
MythbuntuGuest23It is SOOOO sweat  (think of the cooling and quiteness) 2 Motherboards...  ect...  Search it on youtube.  There are some wicked setups.05:20
npurcifulsuperm1: i just read that hdhomerun sends it logs to silicon dust can you verify this?05:21
superm1MythbuntuGuest23, well that was written in a sense of coming from mythbuntu05:21
superm1MythbuntuGuest23, and a few different situations that you can be in it covers afaik05:21
superm1npurciful, where did you read that?05:21
MythbuntuGuest23It was... Just not the correct model I am wanting to use; superml05:21
npurcifulnewegg05:22
superm1npurciful, i'd look somewhere more reputable first regarding that....05:22
superm1npurciful, i've never heard such things05:22
rhpot1991newegg sells hd homeruns???05:23
npurcifulsounded wrong to me but i thought i might ask05:23
npurcifulyeah05:23
MythbuntuGuest23Using MediaMVP Frontend doc....  GOOD SOLID Writeup...  The information on Mythbuntu blows Mythdora away!05:23
rhpot1991ouch, $18005:23
rhpot1991you can find them for $15005:23
npurcifulCons: Debug mode sends logs to manufacture, not stored locally so you can't do any troubleshooting yourself makes it a pain to fix problems.05:23

superm1on the desktop?05:25
superm1like copy them there?05:25
MythbuntuGuest23Sounding like a friken idiot here.05:25
MythbuntuGuest23yeah,  "hides under desk"05:26
superm1er you mean just right clicking the desktop, that menu u get up05:26
rhpot1991its been a while since I tried to do that, it used to be a pain in the05:26
rhpot1991superm1: he wants to add them to the actual menu in the pannel05:26
rhpot1991like you would in the windows start menu05:26
superm1i dont understand05:26
superm1rhpot1991, you can field that question then05:26
MythbuntuGuest23I quess, or at the top (menu bar).05:26
rhpot1991well I don't know the answer05:27
MythbuntuGuest23Sure, but I would like a few setup on the desktop.05:27
rhpot1991superm1: in gnome, you hit applications then say accessories05:27
rhpot1991he wants to add his shortcut in there05:27
superm1oh05:27
superm1right click the menu and hit edit i'd guess?05:27
MythbuntuGuest23Forget that... On to an important question, is there an area in the Frontend setup to clarify the IP address?05:28
MythbuntuGuest23Setup it up on the backend.  Documentation I am reading states I sould set it up at Setup, Setup, General (second page).  There is no area for this.05:29
rhpot1991wait05:29
rhpot1991I got it05:29
rhpot1991right click on "applications"05:29
rhpot1991and select edit05:29
rhpot1991can do it in there05:29
rhpot1991wow, thats way easier then it used to be05:30
superm1isnt that what i said?05:30
rhpot1991kinda, but I took your words to be inside the menu05:30
rhpot1991but it is exactly what you said05:30
rhpot1991stupid english language05:30
MythbuntuGuest23I would say bickering, but what do I know... really05:31
MythbuntuGuest23Thanks rhpot199105:31
rhpot1991thank superm1, he said it first05:32
MythbuntuGuest23So how about it, Do I need to set the local IP address in Myth Frontend for the MediaMVP?05:33
MythbuntuGuest23yah, ur right... THanks superml05:33
MythbuntuGuest23I did run into another situation today, where is the POSTER directory (for movies). Have clip art for my collection... Do I just put it in the movies directory?05:36
rhpot1991keep it seperate, cause it will scan them as if they are movies if they are in the same directory05:38
rhpot1991doesn't effect much, just annoying05:38
MythbuntuGuest23Where is the directory to dump them... Was POSTERS in MythDora.05:41
npurcifulhum it is funny how my supposed DTS recieve wont except dts passthough, but it will accept AC305:41
npurcifuli keep mine in .poster directory in the video folder05:43
MythbuntuGuest23thxs...05:47
MythbuntuGuest23MythWeather is working in the new 2.1  Doesnt seem to work on the older build.  I am going to switch to VoIP and had read somewhere that MythPhone isnt working.  Any truth to that?05:50
MythbuntuGuest23Must say it is pretty SWEET>..  There is a bug in the Active Map; PC locked when I tried to enter a location.05:51
npurcifuli had a problem with mythweather earlier today, apperently the weathersource didnt update in the db when i upgrade this morning, i just had to edit the locations of the scripts in the db05:54
npurcifulyeah, mythweather in mythweb is awesome to05:54
npurcifulbut the weathermaps dont working mythweb05:55
npurcifulwhat did you type for location on the maps05:56
MythbuntuGuest23I too wsa working on it today... Could be same issue.  My hometown (Rapid City SD)06:00
npurcifulthe maps you have to search for regions Southweast, southcentral or just radar06:02
npurcifuli just searched for radar06:02
foxbuntunpurciful, one of my many to-do's is a big upgrade to MythWeather06:04
npurcifulcool foxbuntu06:04
foxbuntuI have a weather modeling firm local to me that does weather data for all of the US, I am moving the locations for every US Zipcode into a cross referenced DB I am adding to the backend, and will tie it all back together with cleaner dedicated data06:05
foxbuntuthe maps will be radar centered on the the zipcode you provide06:06
foxbuntuno more searching by city name06:06
npurcifulthat would awesome06:07

bear_does the new mythbuntu have the ability to setup diskless clients?14:39
=== Nikas2 is now known as Nikas
bear_or can i install mythbuntu then chroot to install another mythbuntu install for a client? or should i just use mythtv over ubuntu?14:41
rhpot1991_laptopI believe that 8.04 will have some sort of diskless support14:42
bear_is it in the alpha?14:43
rhpot1991_laptopone of the devs was trying to get it done before the hardy feature freeze, and I believe that he did14:43
bear_cool might give it a look tonight...makes it easier than chrooting..for lazy people like me14:44
rhpot1991_laptopbear_: not sure where it lives or what the current state is, might want to wait for someone who knows a little more about what actually happened with it14:47

levanderAfter I've ripped a DVD to an iso using mythdvd, is there any automated way to re-encode it down to own of the lower quality levels available in mythdvd?17:57
levanderOr, do I have to re-rip the DVD?17:58
tgm4883_laptopi'd rerip18:00
levanderit seems like the only option18:00
tgm4883_laptopyou can transcode it, but with every transcode you lose quality18:00
tgm4883_laptopis there a reason to do this?18:01
levandertgm4883_laptop: It's just that I've already ripped it, and would rather not wait for the rip to happen again.18:01
levanderIt takes like half an hour.18:01
tgm4883_laptopright, but are you trying to make it smaller or what?18:02
levandertgm4883_laptop: I ripped it to an ISO, so there wasn't any initial quality loss.18:02
levandertgm4883_laptop: Yeah, smaller.18:02
tgm4883_laptopsecondly, it's still going to take time18:02
tgm4883_laptop:blink:18:02
levanderYeah.18:02
tgm4883_laptopi'm confused18:02
levanderJust not as much time.18:02
tgm4883_laptopyou ripped it to iso so there wasn't any quality loss, now you want to transcode it, which will cause quality loss18:03
levandertgm4883_laptop: I decided my initial decision was wrong, and now I don't mind losing quality to gain the extra space.18:03
levanderGet it now?18:03
tgm4883_laptopah18:03
tgm4883_laptopok, that makes sense then18:04
tgm4883_laptopsounded like you thought you weren't losing any quality this way18:04
levanderNo.  It's just a time thing.18:04
tgm4883_laptopwell it's stilll going to take a fair amount of time.  Transcoding is pretty intense18:04
tgm4883_laptophmm, probably the easiest way would be to mount the iso, link it to the dvd dir and run the mythdvd backup again18:05
levanderI'm assuming there's a very good technical reason why you can't watch videos on any mythbox except where the actually video files sits? (well, can't unless you use cifs/nfs)18:05
tgm4883_laptopum18:06
levandertgm4883_laptop: Interesting little thing with the iso.  I wouldn't have thought of that.18:06
tgm4883_laptopcause it's not transfered via the mythtv protocol.  I don't have a better reason though.  You could poke around in mythtv-users if you really want an answer18:06
levanderOkay, last question.  Is the reason I didn't get subtitles in this one video because I didn't rip all the Titles?18:07
levanderI can't seem to get subtitles turned on.18:07
tgm4883_laptopno, afaik subtitles would be in the same title that you ripped18:07
tgm4883_laptopall the info for that particular movie segment is in the title, different audio tracks, angles, subtitles, video18:08
levanderDamn, it's a french movie and I'll have no idea what's going on without subtitles.18:08
tgm4883_laptopwell thats your first problem ;)18:08
levanderIt looks like you not only have to mount /var/lib/mythtv/videos over the network to watch videos on your frontend, you also have to mount a directory in your home folder that contains cover art image files.18:09
levanderWell, I guess it'd still work without the cover art...18:10
tgm4883_laptopi'd have to check on that when i get home, but I believe it works with only the first dir shared18:11

RelkinI am running Mythbuntu 7.10 on an Intel P4 3.0 GHz system using an ATI X800 (R430).  I want to output s-video, but the screen constantly rolls using the vesa drivers.  When I try to use fglrx (ver 8.37.6, May 25, 2008 ), it reverts to failsafe all the time and displays garbage on any connected display.  I have run through the various wikis and searched google, but cannot seem to overcome this problem.  Also, when I try to run fg20:27
sshirleyhi everyone20:34
sshirleyDoes mythbuntu use a different list of available video drivers than what is in the system? Mythbuntu, by default, doesn't recognized my video card (ATI Radeon 2600 HD Pro). It only uses the vesa driver. I installed the latest driver for that specific card. But it doesn't appear in the list when mythbuntu boots up. Any ideas?20:36
Davieysshirley: you installed the binary ati driver?20:38
sshirleyyes. but since i am using composite video, unless I checked it to be ok, mythbuntu always comes up with a dialog saying "ooops, you're in low resolution mode". when i go into the dialog to configure, it ALWAYS comes up with vesa even thought I select flgrx (or whatever) and save.20:40
Relkinthat was happening to me, too, sshirley20:40
sshirleyOk. What did you do to fix it, Relkin?20:41
RelkinI came here :)20:42
sshirleyMind you, the driver for the 2600 HD series was not a part of the default mythbuntu install. I had to install that driver. But it is still not showing up in that list.20:42
RelkinYes, the ati drivers are part of the restricted distribution20:42
sshirleyBeautiful, Relkin, beautiful. :-)  Grace me with your knowledge. :-)20:43
RelkinI had to specifically enable download and enable the drivers20:43
Relkinbut, I have not solved the problem.20:43
sshirleyFrom Synaptic?20:43
RelkinIt was whatever Mythbuntu looked into, which happens to be the "linux-restricted-modules" repo20:44
sshirleyor within that video driver dialog?20:44
RelkinI was using the gui and it was not taking my changes, so I would edit xorg.conf directly according to the many wiki's and forum posts.20:44
sshirleyRight. I have that enabled from within the control center20:45
RelkinIt always revers to its failsafe with my ATI drivers.20:45
DavieyMight be an idea to look at a more modern fglrx?20:45
sshirleyEven though you edit the xorg.conf file??20:45
Davieysome moan about it, but envy will help with this20:45
Relkinwill that nexeccarily break anything with Myth?20:46
Davieyshouldn't do20:46
sshirleyCatalyst 8.2 was just released 5 days ago20:46
Daviey(no promises)20:46
sshirleyenvy?20:46
RelkinI'm running fglrx 8.37.6 (5/27/08 ) now, but thinking I might want to look at the ATI binaries (as you suggest)20:47
Relkindirectly from ATI...  I just wget'd them20:47
Davieyenvy = script to install latest fglrx20:47
Davieyhttp://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html20:47
sshirleySo enable from within Mythbuntu or Ubuntu?20:47
RelkinMythbuntu and Ubuntu are the same, except that Mythbuntu is customized/optimized for MythTV.20:50
RelkinDaviey: thanks.20:50
sshirleyRight. Ok...enable from the OS or from within MythTV Control Center, I should say.20:51
RelkinDaviey: Got a question re: s-video...  Do the ATI drivers support S-video out for movie-watching, etc?20:52
DavieyRelkin: no idea, never used ATI + S-Video20:57
Relkink20:58
sshirleyRelkin: Yes. I use that right now.20:58
RelkinOdd... I can't get that working right, either....  it just rolls on the screen.20:59
sshirleyIt's still using the vesa driver, but the card itself is outputting to the s-video port. I have read that ATI does support this in all of their drivers. If only I could get mine to recognize the card itself.20:59
sshirleyI just plugged it in and it worked out-of-the-box even without drivers. I could install mythbuntu from the livecd21:00

npurcifulerr, dvd::rip is slow21:18
tgm4883npurciful, doesn't dvd::rip also transcode?21:21
npurcifulyeah, that is the slow part 25fps slower than real time21:21
npurcifulsometimes as slow a9fps21:22
npurcifuls/a/as21:22
rhpot1991_laptopnpurciful: why not use myth to rip that dvd?21:24
NikasEnvy should come "pre-installed" with MythBuntu ;)21:24
npurcifuli normally do but this dvd has only 1 title with 14 chap each, and i want to separted chapters21:25
rhpot1991_laptopah ok21:25
rhpot1991_laptopI still need to make a wiki entry for problematic dvd's21:25
npurcifulyeah, it sucks also recompiling k3b for dvdread support21:26
npurcifulsee if it is faster21:26
npurcifulit took 35min for 4min video21:27

rhpot1991_laptopI use that for problematic dvd's, takes a while to rip, but it will skip the problem areas and you can just kill it once it stops pulling good data21:30
tgm4883Nikas, I disagree21:31
tgm4883Envy can die a slow death21:31
Nikashehe why?21:32

npurcifulrhpot1991_laptop: thanks for the info21:34
rhpot1991_laptopnpurciful: make sure you use a log if you do that, cause you can ctrl+c and kill it and resume at any point21:35
rhpot1991_laptopcause its pretty cpu intensive21:35
npurcifulalright :)21:36
Relkinany reason why the ati binaries wouldn't play nice with the X800 (R430)?  My screen just goes to gibberish when I try to use those drivers and, until I manually change the xorg.conf, it reverts to the "failsafe" mode of "low resoliution"21:37

joecurleehi all... i am running ubuntu 7.10. Just installed mythtv via synaptic and when I try to run the front end i get "database configuration 1/2. Myth could not connect to the database. please verify your database settings below."22:14
joecurleei'm using host: localhost, database: mythconverg, user: mythtv, my supplied password, and MySQL for the database type22:15
joecurleeany help would be awesome as I'm finding a lack of content via google22:15
directhex"supplied" how, exactly?22:16
joecurleeon installation i was given a password22:16
directhexdid you definitely install a backend AND frontend, and have mysql installed?22:16
joecurlee"generated password for this machine is" etc.22:16
joecurleeyes22:16
joecurleebackend is running right now22:16
joecurleewhen i run sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start22:17
tgm4883try 127.0.0.122:17
directhexand 'mysql -umythtv -hlocalhost -p mythconverg' in a console works fine?22:17
joecurleei get "mythbackend already running, use restart instead."22:17
joecurleeok22:17
joecurleehmm access denied22:19
directhexthe plot thickens22:21
joecurleevery odd22:21
tgm4883did you check conectivity in mcc?22:21
joecurleeok apparently i need root for the user and my system pw22:22
joecurleehowever the db mythconverg doesn't exist22:23
tgm4883did you have a mysql server previously to installing mythtv?22:23
directhexsomeone set a mysql root password, methinks22:23
directhexwhich breaks mythtv-database22:24
joecurleeactually i might have... i tried to reinstall once before but that was a bit of a blur as i was partially drunk and i thought i wiped my system sometime afterwards22:24
directhexwell. installation thereof22:24
MnDBnDrWhat is the default size of the root partition?22:24
directhexMnDBnDr, as large as you ask for, minus about 500 meg22:24
directhexjoecurlee, okay, try this. 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow mythtv-database'. if memory serves, it should ask your mysql root password when it ballses up22:25
MnDBnDrWhat size does the installer choose?22:25
joecurleeok trying now22:26
tgm4883MnDBnDr, the installer formats the entire drive to 2 partitions, 1 for swap, 1 for /22:26
MnDBnDrI have /myth mounted on an LVM now using Knoppmyth and want to switch to Mythbuntu without loosing my LVM22:26
tgm4883although you can use manual configuration22:26
MnDBnDrproblem is my / is only 4.7gb now22:26
directhexMnDBnDr, you have complete control of this stuff, you know22:27
tgm4883hmm22:27
tgm4883that is pretty low22:27
tgm4883i usually do around 12Gb22:27
directhex5 gig for /? that's plenty!22:27
MnDBnDryeah, just checking that the total install in / is not too big.  Just in case I have to resize22:27
tgm4883oh22:27
directhexchrist, mythbuntu installed i can't see as bigger than 3 gig22:27
tgm4883then what am I thinking?22:27
tgm4883oh wait, thats just my rule of thumb for regular ubuntu installs22:28
directhexyou only need a big / if you don't have a separate /usr/local and you install ut2004 :)22:28
tgm4883which would be me :)22:28
directhexand doom3, and quake 4, and you get the idea22:28
joecurleedirecthex: thanks that worked22:28
tgm4883I only do a seperate /home22:28
tgm4883and a seperate /var/lib if it's a mythtv system22:29
directhexjoecurlee, i am so smrt! now, you really want to run mythtv-setup22:29
MnDBnDrok.  So I have a 5gb / and a 2gb swap and a 1.3tb lvm with Knoppmyth.  Do you suggest resizing my LVM to free up some space?22:29
MnDBnDronly 350gb is in use in the LVM22:29
directhexMnDBnDr, like i said, 3 is more than enough for /22:30
joecurleecool doing that now22:30
MnDBnDrincluding /var/lib and /usr/local?22:30
MnDBnDrin /22:30
joecurleewhen asked for ip address, would it be better to enter localhost as this address might change?22:31
directhexMnDBnDr, if you don't use the default recordings dir, /var/lib isn't a problem22:31
directhexjoecurlee, if it asks for an ip, it needs an ip22:31
joecurleek22:31
MnDBnDri use /myth for all myth media22:31
MnDBnDrmounted on lvm22:31
directhexjoecurlee, if you mean mythtv-setup, it needs an ip so it knows which interface to listen on (hostnames aren't interface-specific)22:31
MnDBnDrthx guys22:32
directhexjoecurlee, if your network shuffles around a lot, then go for 127.0.0.1 if you don't want networked access, or set a static ip if you do22:32
joecurleecool i'll go with that22:33
joecurleeone other question: I don't want to mess with video sources yet... is that required before testing out mythtv?22:34
directhexno, but a functional backend really is. even if it's functional and empty22:43
directhexyour backend would have been Sad without the database22:43
joecurleelol right22:44
joecurleeyea i think the backend is working now22:44
joecurleei'm scanning for channels... not sure if this is going to work22:44
joecurleei've spent hours upon hours on my current setup trying to tweak things22:44
joecurleebah! scan yielded no results... no message either22:45
szakulecanyone here have a better way to record from the vcr than cat /dev/video0 >movie.mpg ?22:54
joecurlee_ugh so far so bad... mythtv frontend and backend running, but no video... can't find any channels when scanning, and if i try to "watch tv" i get a message telling me that the tuner is already being used for recording.23:05
npurcifulerr, that pisses me off23:59
directhexwhat, levander joining? i agree23:59
