[00:01] i have been sittin here trying to get dvdread support to work in k3b i guess there is a bug, so i apt-get source --compile k3b, install it and it kinda work it says cant read dvd. appearntly dvd:rip foobard access to the device [00:01] wasted like 2hours [02:22] Need help with nvidia drivers... Was having issues with twinview, changed the driver and now I dont have twinview and limited with the Monitor, [02:24] Taking forever for MythTV to load and LiveTV wont come on; bad drivers I suspect. [02:47] trying to switch from internal player to vlc, but when i use vlc inside of mythfrontend i loose sound, is there a file i have to modify? === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [03:12] How do I update to MythTV 0.21 without using Mythbuntu 8.04 [03:12] mythtv 0.21 isn't out yet [03:12] just a testing release of it [03:13] but otherwise see mythbuntu.org [03:13] weekly builds for trunk [03:13] So be expecting it in April with 8.04 final release is made [03:13] yeah [03:14] Upon updating, will I need to redo any settings or will it retain the changes/installations made. [03:15] hey superm1 ever get amd64 to build [03:16] npurciful, no i didnt [03:16] MythbuntuGuest61, ideally no changes necessary, but we'll see [03:17] GREAT!!! thanks superml... [03:17] Anyone have information on getting Snapstream Firefly working. Found there was a bug through threads Ive read. [03:18] that sucks, i spent half a day trying to get k3b to rip dvds, i guess the pkg was compiled with out libdvdread. [03:19] Im sorta glad there are no shows airing right now... Have my Mythbox in "broken" status. Coming online again here soon, but didnt miss anything. [03:19] anyhow after i recompiled it it could read the drive and screwed with it and reallise no programs could read it [03:19] npurciful: that happens a lot on ubuntu, did you check an alternative source like medibuntu? [03:19] Hows that for positive thinking, glass half full... [03:19] regionset npurciful [03:20] yeah, did that didnt fix it, i ended up rebooting problem solved [03:21] sounds like it might not have applied till you restarted [03:21] what is the difference between apt-get source --compile k3b and apt-get source -b k3b [03:22] something i spent 2hour trying to fix the dang thing [03:28] anyone know the command to reconfigure xorg from the terminal? [03:28] ted [03:28] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg [03:29] hanks for the life of me i couldn't remember it [03:29] sure np [03:29] that one used to kill me, didnt know how to fix it so i had to reinstall [03:30] updated my mythbox to the hardy version and it killed my xserver [03:30] prob a problem with the restricted driver [03:30] make sure thats installed [03:31] that's what i'm thinking...I've been running hardy on my main box for about a month now and thought it would be fun to upgrade my mythbox as well...lol [03:31] ahh, thinkin [03:32] well hardy been pretty stable on my main machine so i thought what the hell [03:34] lol, thinks todo when your bored google your name, Results 1 - 10 of about 7,600 for n***** purciful [03:34] plus the hardy mythtv front-end didn't want to play nice with the gutsy back-end server [03:38] err, damn writers union, i am force to record and playback reruns, it just isnt right [03:42] lime4x4, yeah hardy is switched to 0.21 [03:47] * npurciful is giving in to watching livetv! [04:04] Hey superm1 Sorry I missed you yesterday [04:04] hey OpenMedia [04:04] what's up? [04:25] superm1: have you had any requests for AAC support on your builds? [04:25] OpenMedia, hardy builds have it [04:25] It appears NZ and Norway have standardised on HE-AAC for their audio. [04:26] Problem is faad2 needs patching to support it. [04:26] how bad is the patch? [04:26] and what does it break? [04:26] Reasonably nasty i'm afraid [04:26] does it break anything though? [04:27] They still aren't sure. [04:27] I might dist-upgrade a test environment to hardy [04:27] I've been playing with the weekly SVN releases on gutsy. [04:28] well as of this last week, faac should be on gutsy weekly too i believe [04:28] (it bases from hardy source packages) [04:28] Ok i'll take a look and see how bad the LATM patch for faad2 looks. [04:29] So have you started work yet? [04:29] yeah [04:29] Sufficient shock to the system? [04:29] is the a limit on the amount of jobs mytharchive can handle because the new rip button is disappeared [04:29] actually not too bad [04:30] Got a bunch of talk submissions in for OSCON so I might make it to Portland again this year. Have to wait and see. [04:31] i'm not thinking i'll be headed back this year, but time will tell i suppose [04:37] anyone good with NAS drives? [05:19] /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart [05:19] * Restarting MythTV server: mythbackend QSettings: error creating /home/mythtv/.qt ...done. [05:20] error creating /home/mythtv/.qt? [05:21] that hasn't happened for ages [05:35] Error at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/mythfrontend.php, line 16: [05:35] mythweb broken for meas well [05:36] the qt file is odd, even if I add it, I get that minor error [05:38] your system out of date or something? [05:40] mythweb shows channels on the wrong number for me [05:48] rhpot1991, negative [05:48] after these most recent updates mythweb broke for me [05:49] and I can't get a frontend to connect to the BE [05:49] the .20 FE connects to the .21 BE [05:49] actually, somehow my mythweb fixed itself [05:49] but no .21 FE to .21 BE [05:50] but I', Hardy, so, I may be screwn [05:51] what are you running, gutsy, hardy, weekly builds? [06:14] but I', Hardy, so, I may be screwn [06:14] what are you running, gutsy, hardy, weekly builds? [06:14] Hardy [06:15] nothing exotic [07:26] Hi [07:26] Just wanted to tell that the torrentlinks on the website does not work [07:28] And it seems that it has been a while http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678429 [12:32] I'm trying to grok my head around how mythdvd works. Is there no way to rip all the titles, then have them show up as one video under "Watch Videos"? [13:47] levander: rip it as an iso [14:36] is Mythtv.org down? [14:37] seems like it [14:37] ok thanks [18:26] hi [18:26] ahh, what is going on in the land of myth today [18:27] i've just ordered some new hardware and I'm planning to install mythbuntu on it [18:27] should i use 7.10 or the new alpha one? [18:28] that would be your call [18:28] are you just wanting the new version of myth? [18:28] beakster: depends how stable you want it to be [18:29] well im running a pretty old one just now [18:29] 6.06 with 0.20 something [18:29] well 7.10 would give you pretty much the same version of mythtv [18:29] i want it stable, yes, but what does the new alpha offer that 7.10 doesnt? [18:29] rhpot1991 does mythdvd or archive whatever it is convert you 16:9 to 4:3 [18:30] the trunk builds have some nice new features, but at the cost of some things not working while everything gets worked out [18:30] hmm [18:30] npurciful: don't think so, when I use it I rip to an iso and its just like having the dvd in [18:30] ok, i think i'll probably stick to 7.10 [18:30] playback with xine so I get menus and all [18:30] ah i am trying to convert to xvid [18:31] so i guess everyone here reckons im better with mythbuntu than ubuntu + myth? [18:31] and it is screwing, the whole point of having widescreen [18:31] I can't speak for that other than I've done it once or twice will testing [18:31] beakster: depends what you want to use it for, end results are close to the same [18:31] and ease of setup? [18:31] i use kubuntu desktop + mythtv svn [18:31] mythbuntu setup will walk you through most everything [18:32] so if you want easy, do that [18:32] yeah, reckon i will [18:32] if you are used to installing ubuntu, or have it already instealled, its just as easy to just add mythtv or mythbuntu to it [18:32] and i assume athlon x2 version is best for an athlon x2? [18:32] amd64 you mean? [18:32] yeah [18:33] I do believe so [18:33] oh, and, at the moment i have a / partition and a /video partition. the video partition holds my recordings, games, videos, music etc. [18:33] can i keep that partion and use it with a fresh install of mythbuntu? [18:33] so i dont loose my music etc [18:34] this mornings update fix my mythweb [18:34] thanks! [18:35] what was wrong with myth web [18:36] it was spitting an apache error [18:36] rhpot1991_laptop: i think i am going to just rip to iso, instead of chapters and titles, it is a real pain [18:36] Tuv0k: oh okay [18:37] npurciful: I enjoy ripping as iso, I also have a 1TB mybook to use for that purpose so I don't care about file sizes [18:37] http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2008-January/209451.html [18:37] so it all depends on your needs [18:38] rhpot1991_laptop: i am getting my 1TB drive soon a long with a HDhomerun [18:39] I may be in the market for a HDHR soon [18:46] hum, i was just doing some calculations and the avg. life span of a recording on my computer is 10 days [18:47] random information [19:06] crap, MTD shut down rip to iso [19:06] 12:55:29: Error: DVDISOCopyThread dvd device read error [19:08] npurciful: prob have a copy protected disc [19:08] or a scratched one [19:08] MTD is picky [19:09] going commandline on it [19:09] ddr_help [19:09] what dvd out of curiosity? [19:10] Alice in Chain Unplugged [19:10] from 1996 [19:10] was just wondering if its one I've done before, to confirm it [19:10] isn't though [19:10] scratched maybe? [19:11] I've had a problem with an old jeff buckly concert dvd as well, assumed that it wasn't done to standards or something [19:11] yeah it may have a surface defect [19:13] Hi, i've been trying to use MythTV and it's not working quite right with my capture card... I thought about installing mythbuntu... but is there differences in hardware support between the two? Also can Mythbuntu run concurrently with Ubuntu or is a separate installation? [19:15] you can add mythbuntu to ubuntu [19:15] hardware support is the sma [19:15] same [19:15] ah i see thanks [19:15] hardware support should be the same provided you actually had working linux support before [19:15] basic rule is make it work in linux before you make it work in mythtv [19:17] yes linux is working fine right now except for one thing... my capture card. anyone know if the Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i) is supported by mythtv? I was able to get video (non-HD) but no audio... everything here claims it should work: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 [19:18] joecurlee: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 [19:19] yea that's pretty much the same page as the linuxtv one... (the making it work section is similar)... i followed all instructions exactly but still get no solid results [19:19] actually the possible conflicts on that page sound very similar to mine [19:20] check the mythtv-users mailing list or something, best bet would be to find someone else who has that card [19:20] http://www.mythbuntu.com/existing-ubuntu is how to add mythbuntu to ubuntu [19:20] cool, will do. thanks [19:21] is there a recommended card that has a history of working very well? [19:22] joecurlee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570204 [19:22] talks about tuners in there [19:22] cool. thanks again. back to work now :) [19:24] i love how you can move file while your writing them to i move the wrong file copying iso to file and selected and move it while it was still transfering, and it is still copying [20:13] now if i can get 5.1 sound working i but behappy === Wiiilmaa is now known as Wiilmaaa === Wiilmaaa is now known as Wiiilmaa === npurciful_ is now known as npurciful [21:01] Hello! [21:07] I have a problem with my mythbuntu installation. I cannot convert recordings. conversion jobs always fail with status 247, the Backend log states errors like: mpegts Parser not found for Codec Id 94211. I saw many people mentioning this problem on the internet, but found no solution so far. Maybe there is someone here being able to help me? [23:41] how do i adjust playback for a widescreen tv? When in mythtv front-end it uses my whole tv screen but when watching tv or a video it shows up as 4:3 ratio [23:42] did you set the frontend aspect ratio? [23:43] yes to 16:9 [23:44] are you watching SD? [23:45] lime4x4, is it SD or HD content and if its HD content what res is it? [23:45] tgm4883, afternoon [23:45] hi foxbuntu [23:45] it's sd content [23:45] foxbuntu, do you know if there were any changes to lm-sensors in hardy? my conky no longer works :( [23:45] SD is all 4:# lime4x4 [23:45] lime4x4, well then it is showing up properly [23:46] 4:3 [23:46] 4:# content rocks [23:46] lol [23:46] way better than 4:3 [23:46] indeed [23:46] you could stretch it, but then everyone would look fat [23:46] * foxbuntu smacks tgm4883 with a stick [23:46] and the camera already adds 10 lbs [23:47] is there a way to convert it to 16:9?? When i watch regular tv bypassing the mythtv box it uses the full screen [23:48] lime4x4, that sounds like you have it set on your TV [23:48] why would you want to stretch 4:3 to 16:9 [23:48] ? [23:48] yea, sounds like you have your tv set to stretch 4:3 content to full screen [23:48] you can bring up the menu during playback and zoom-stretch it [23:49] i hate black bars...lol regualr cable doesn't look bad on my tv when strecthed [23:49] lime4x4, you don't work for TNT do you? [23:49] lol [23:49] nope [23:49] actually i'm a chevy tech [23:49] * tgm4883 despises TNT for their "HD" content [23:49] * tgm4883 despises NBC too [23:49] NBC is getting better though [23:49] and DirecTV too [23:50] I don't despise NBC because of their HD content, I despise them because of their coverage of the 2004 Olympic Bronze medal Basketball game [23:50] and i'm connecting the mythbox to the tv thru dvi [23:51] lime4x4, i'm not sure you can tell it to always stretch 4:3 content, but you can tell it to do it each time [23:51] tgm4883, thats a rather specific reason :) [23:51] yea [23:51] but it burns me [23:51] i was so mad [23:52] I still watch NBC, i just hate them at the same time [23:53] tgm4883, if you change the priority on a tuners in the BE does it limit the reocrdings...so when you set a program to record on any channel and its on HD and SD at the same time it will only record on one? [23:53] yea it should only record on one [23:54] i've haven't really tinkered around with doing it that way though [23:54] I haven't either...its just my soultion to something in the forums [23:56] F me [23:56] ? [23:56] where is root trash stored? [23:56] root trash [23:56] i'm capturing some stuff in kino, and i couldn't get it to work so i had to sudo kino, and now my / is full [23:57] oops [23:57] so i rm'ed the files, but it's still full [23:57] rm shouldn't trash them [23:58] hmm [23:58] then whats happening? [23:58] df -a? [23:58] /dev/sda1 10570748 10566744 0 100% / [23:58] do you have a seperate /var/log? [23:58] sec [23:58] or all mounted in one? [23:59] just seperate /home [23:59] ah [23:59] fixed [23:59] ah... [23:59] what was it? [23:59] strange [23:59] I had deleted the files, but since kino was still open, they were still taking up space. As soon as i closed kino, it deleted them off the drive (i could hear the drive deleting them)
