| npurciful | i dont know | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| AtomicSpark | hello. so i am curious. what is mythtv for? is it just for recording tv programs or can it be used for more if one doesnt have a tv tuner? | 00:03 |
| npurciful | music, weather, rss | 00:03 |
| npurciful | just to name a few | 00:04 |
| AtomicSpark | interesting. so its like media center for xp? | 00:04 |
| npurciful | yeah | 00:05 |
| npurciful | take a look at the plugins page http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Plugins | 00:05 |
| lime4x4 | is it possble to check how vnc is configures thru command line? | 00:12 |
| superm1 | Rigolo, oh that's less useful | 00:20 |
| superm1 | at least submit it with a copy by hand then | 00:20 |
| superm1 | of /var/log/installer/debug | 00:20 |
| superm1 | and /var/log/syslog | 00:20 |
| superm1 | in the installer | 00:20 |
| superm1 | env | 00:21 |
| npurciful | hows it goin superm1 | 00:21 |
| superm1 | eh alright | 00:21 |
| npurciful | cool, man it is dreary here | 00:22 |
| npurciful | and cold | 00:22 |
| npurciful | i final got my sound setup right in mythtv, so it send dts raw to my reciever | 00:23 |
| npurciful | i been screwing with it for weeks | 00:24 |
| npurciful | rhpot1991: you there | 01:02 |
| rhpot1991 | npurciful: whats up | 01:09 |
| rhpot1991 | ? | 01:09 |
| npurciful | allright back | 01:16 |
| npurciful | hey rhpot1991 i been using dd_rhelp and it created 1.5gb log file | 01:16 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like your disc is in bad shape maybe? | 01:16 |
| rhpot1991 | how big did the iso get? | 01:17 |
| npurciful | 4g | 01:17 |
| rhpot1991 | is that how big the disc is? | 01:17 |
| npurciful | yes | 01:17 |
| rhpot1991 | it gets to a point where it will only hit errors, and you can ctrl+c it at that point | 01:18 |
| rhpot1991 | and it should be good then, you don't need to let it run all the way | 01:18 |
| rhpot1991 | it will skip over gaps when it encounters errors and revisit them later | 01:18 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like its prob about done, try the iso and see if it works | 01:18 |
| npurciful | okay it is like 99.8% parsed and 60% sucess / 40% err | 01:18 |
| rhpot1991 | let me see if I have any logs | 01:19 |
| rhpot1991 | my logs are much smaller than that, yours was prob just grinding on errors for a while | 01:22 |
| rhpot1991 | how long did you let it run? | 01:22 |
| npurciful | 24hour | 01:23 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, thats a bit much | 01:27 |
| rhpot1991 | I normally run mine when I go to bed and stop them when I wake up | 01:27 |
| rhpot1991 | so like 5 hours give or take | 01:27 |
| npurciful | okay | 01:31 |

| Rigolo | superml: I updated the crash bug report with the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug files | 07:51 |
| Rigolo | superml: I updated the crash bug report with the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug files | 08:14 |
| Rigolo | an update on the DVB-C issue that I'm dealing with | 08:43 |
| Rigolo | just did an clean install of mythbuntu 7.10 | 08:43 |
| Rigolo | that is using mythtv 0.20.2-oubuntu10 | 08:44 |
| Rigolo | import of channels.conf gives my the 6 channels as expected | 08:45 |
| Rigolo | the channel numbers are now correct (as in they use the numbers as given by my cable operator, not the serviceid that is shown in alpha 2 | 08:46 |
| Rigolo | I can not watch tv ... again the channels are linked to the incorrect transports | 08:46 |
| Rigolo | ALL transports have netid 1000 ... some transports are double in the list | 08:47 |
| Rigolo | the double transports are the ones that are really needed (based on the channels.conf data) | 08:48 |
| Rigolo | updating the channel table to point the channels to the "correct" transport in dtv_multiplex DID NOT solve my TV watching problem | 08:48 |
| Rigolo | now going to update the netid's in the dtv_transport table to the correct netid for only those 4 transports that I need | 08:49 |
| directhex | channels.conf doesn't store full network id info, which is one of the reasons it's disrecommended for digital tv | 08:53 |
| Rigolo | directhex: I know .. but scanning gives me even worse results I guess .. | 08:55 |
| Rigolo | updating the netid's in the dtv_multiplex also does not give me lock | 08:55 |
| Rigolo | double checking now ith czap if I can still get a lock | 08:55 |
| Rigolo | czap can get a lock | 08:56 |
| Rigolo | I could try a full scan .. let's see what that brings | 08:56 |
| Rigolo | just noticed that the 4 "correct" transports do not hava a symbol rate .. going to fix that and then try again to tune :-) | 09:00 |
| Rigolo | well .. that did not help either .... | 09:05 |
| Rigolo | so now going to remove all transports and do a full scan ... | 09:05 |
| richard | have a question about schedules direct... | 09:07 |
| richard | works fine except not showing channel names or call signs... schedule otherwise fine... | 09:08 |
| patrick_ | The greeter application keeps crashing. Attempting to use a different one. ? | 09:09 |
| Rigolo | full scan only scans one frequency .. and adds a couple of transports but not all .. so that also does not help | 09:26 |
| Rigolo | I think there is nothing else to do then to manually set up all the transports and channels | 09:26 |
| Rigolo | well... going back to alpha 2 ... and continue testing there :-) | 09:31 |
| mamessner_ | Hello? | 10:56 |
| mamessner_ | Anyone there? | 10:56 |
| Rigolo | not many | 10:57 |
| mamessner_ | Hi | 10:57 |
| mamessner_ | I have a question | 10:57 |
| Rigolo | try me | 10:57 |
| mamessner_ | Is it easy to set up MythTV if I don't need to record TV? | 10:57 |
| mamessner_ | I just have videos, pictures, and music on my computer I want to view on a TV | 10:58 |
| mamessner_ | Is there a better program for something like that? | 10:58 |
| Rigolo | mythtv should be able to do that .... | 10:58 |
| Rigolo | there are add-on's for pictures etc | 10:59 |
| mamessner_ | It's so hard to set up, though - is there anything easier? | 10:59 |
| Rigolo | what are you using to set it up? | 10:59 |
| mamessner_ | I added the frontend and backend, and it was looking for a MySQL database for something | 10:59 |
| Rigolo | what distribution are you using? what linux version? | 11:00 |
| mamessner_ | I'm using the package manager - that's about all I know how to use | 11:00 |
| mamessner_ | Ubuntu 7.10 | 11:00 |
| Rigolo | and is this a dedicated machine? or your own desktop ? | 11:00 |
| mamessner_ | I guess I could make it a dedicated machine. RIght now it's a desktop | 11:00 |
| mamessner_ | I want to use it for broadcatching with Miro, though, not recording live TV | 11:01 |
| mamessner_ | I just want to have it download videos and view them with a nice interface that I can use a remote with | 11:01 |
| Rigolo | if you want to make it dedicted to mythtv and make it a combined front and backend machine then you can try mythbuntu | 11:01 |
| mamessner_ | I saw that - might try it tomorrow. | 11:02 |
| mamessner_ | Is it easy to set up? | 11:02 |
| Rigolo | I think it is .... | 11:02 |
| mamessner_ | Are the plugins easy to do? They're not documented well in the instructions | 11:02 |
| Rigolo | you can have mythbuntu with all the plugins installed already I think | 11:03 |
| mamessner_ | Are there any other programs you like to watch videos? I just need a GUI for xine or something | 11:03 |
| Rigolo | when you install mythbuntu then xine is also installed (with a GUI) | 11:03 |
| Rigolo | along with mplayer and vlc | 11:04 |
| * Rigolo has to go now ... | 11:06 | |
| Rigolo | good luck .... | 11:06 |
| mamessner_ | Thanks | 11:06 |

| MythbuntuGuest23 | im trying to setup a DVICO Dual Digital 4 based on these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DViCO_Dual_Digital_4 | 14:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest23 | But I am getting some errors when it comes to the 'make' | 14:41 |

| Nikas | MythbuntuGuest23: sudo make menuconfig | 15:07 |
| Nikas | go into sound and disable ACI Mixer | 15:07 |
| Nikas | exit and save kernel config. | 15:07 |
| Nikas | then make and after that make install | 15:07 |
| Nikas | MythbuntuGuest23: Ah, you need to get and unpack the source for... the kernel.. hm | 15:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest23 | ok will have a go | 15:36 |
| rhpot1991 | anyone see this today: http://www.woot.com/ | 15:40 |

| shane__ | hi all is anyone here using mythtv in romania? | 16:04 |
| sshirley | Can anyone tell me if the latest version of Mythbuntu is optimized for dual-core amd64 processors? | 16:07 |
| sshirley | Or do I need to compile it on my own? | 16:07 |
| === Nikas is now known as Nikas2 | ||
| === Nikas2 is now known as Nikas | ||
| tgm4883 | sshirley, what do you mean by optimized? | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | for dual core that is | 16:35 |
| directhex|work | tgm4883, threading enabled on the compile | 16:35 |
| directhex|work | tgm4883, there's a config flag to do threaded decoding, iirc | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | wouldn't that be a kernel option though? | 16:36 |
| tgm4883 | or specific to mythtv? | 16:36 |
| sshirley | Sorry. Was in a meeting. Optimized meaning to be able to use both cores for different threads. | 16:38 |
| sshirley | I think that an application has to be aware of the multiple cores | 16:38 |
| beakster | hi | 17:41 |
| beakster | ive just set up mythbuntu, but I'm having problems getting the channel listings | 17:42 |
| beakster | XMLTV is getting stuck at retrieving listings | 17:42 |
| beakster | oh wait, its working now | 17:46 |
| beakster | it just took 25 minutes to retrieve the data :) | 17:46 |
| beakster | hi | 18:09 |
| beakster | just installed | 18:09 |
| beakster | when i reboot it seems to load about 5 copies of the front end | 18:09 |
| beakster | ? | 18:09 |
| beakster | hi | 19:28 |
| beakster | where does mythbuntu launch the mythfrontend from? | 19:29 |
| beakster | it seems to be loading it too many times when it starts up | 19:29 |
| hugolp | anyone has experience with surround on Ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| toorima | sure | 20:05 |
| hugolp | toorima: hi, I read the alsa webpage and it seems like surround should be enable by default, but Ive downloaded some 5.1 wav and ogg files and they play as stereo only | 20:06 |
| toorima | what setup do you have, i use spdif out to my amp | 20:07 |
| toorima | and had to edit one config file to get it to work | 20:08 |
| hugolp | toorima: no, Im using the analog out | 20:08 |
| hugolp | I just got some cheap creative speakers | 20:08 |
| toorima | i think it should work oob then but there might be some setting you must do to enable it | 20:09 |
| toorima | have u tried googling your soundcard | 20:10 |
| hugolp | no, its just the internal one | 20:12 |
| hugolp | I will try that | 20:12 |
| npurciful | err, crap | 20:34 |
| npurciful | i cant seem to get sound | 20:35 |
| npurciful | well i do with MPEG2 if i passthough but if i listen to mp3 or oggs i get no sound | 20:36 |
| npurciful | and this just started | 20:36 |
| toorima | npurciful: have u tried with a .asoundrc file? | 20:37 |
| npurciful | i havent had one before | 20:38 |
| toorima | k | 20:39 |
| toorima | i never got stereo sound without one | 20:39 |
| npurciful | hold on i was playing with it yesterday, let me touch it and see if that fixes it | 20:40 |
| npurciful | hum that didnt fix it | 20:44 |
| npurciful | spdif raw out works but nomal digital out doesnt (not in raw mode | 20:45 |
| Em0ry42 | I switched from Ubuntu to Mythbuntu and now have crackly audio, I've tried OSS, ALSA and ESD none of these is making a difference. Any ideas? | 20:46 |
| npurciful | i think i got it | 20:48 |
| npurciful | somehow alsa is no longer sending stereo to spdif | 20:49 |
| Em0ry42 | I switched from Ubuntu to Mythbuntu and now have crackly audio, I've tried OSS, ALSA and ESD none of these is making a difference. Any ideas? | 21:01 |
| npurciful | got it, i created a .asoundrc to send all sound though spdif | 21:18 |
| toorima | npurciful: and it works for ya now? | 21:26 |
| toorima | wierd that it worked without it before | 21:26 |
| toorima | weird | 21:27 |
| npurciful | yeah, but know there is a 1.5 sec delay | 21:28 |
| toorima | ouch | 21:28 |
| npurciful | just on start up though | 21:28 |
| toorima | what does your .asoundrc look like | 21:28 |
| toorima | pcm.!default { | 21:29 |
| toorima | type plug | 21:29 |
| toorima | slave { | 21:29 |
| toorima | rate 48000 | 21:29 |
| toorima | pcm "spdif" | 21:29 |
| toorima | } | 21:29 |
| toorima | } | 21:30 |
| toorima | like that? | 21:30 |
| npurciful | yeah | 21:31 |
| npurciful | just like it | 21:31 |
| toorima | hmm mine works perfect | 21:31 |
| npurciful | i can see the equalizer move but now sound for a second | 21:31 |
| npurciful | let me reboot | 21:32 |
| npurciful | and i bee back | 21:32 |
| toorima | k | 21:32 |
| npurciful | alright i am back | 21:38 |
| toorima | k any diff now | 21:38 |
| npurciful | yeah it is still doing it, the 1sec thing, i know because at the beginning of Seether - Rememdy there is a feedback squel and you cant here it unless something is playing and you switch back to it | 21:39 |
| toorima | k so no sound for the 1st second but then its in sync or | 21:40 |
| npurciful | you it is insink | 21:40 |
| npurciful | it did this before and then i just stopped, now its back | 21:41 |
| npurciful | crazy thing | 21:41 |
| toorima | hehe | 21:41 |
| npurciful | and i only have 5.1 on 5.1 sources | 21:52 |
| npurciful | which isnt nessaryly bad | 21:53 |
| hugolp | ok, got surround working | 22:05 |
| hugolp | now, anyone knows how to make that the volume up and down aplies to all the channels and not only to front channels? | 22:06 |
| toorima | npurciful: what you mean you only got 5.1 on 5.1 sources? with stereo sound do you only get sound from 2 speakers or do you get stereo sound from all speakers, the later is what you should get | 22:07 |
| toorima | hugolp: sorry cant really help ya there, i only send all my sound to the amp then adjust sound on the amp | 22:08 |
| npurciful | i get 5.1 on 5.1 sources and 2.1 on stereo sources | 22:08 |
| hugolp | toorima: ok | 22:09 |
| toorima | npurciful: so only sound from front speakers on stereo source? | 22:09 |
| npurciful | hugolp: i beleave that there is a seting under setup > general > audio for MASTER for volume | 22:10 |
| npurciful | yes toorima | 22:10 |
| toorima | npurciful: i guess it depends on how your amp is setup maybe | 22:11 |
| toorima | hugolp: yeah what npurciful said sounds right | 22:11 |
| hugolp | npurciful: where is setup? | 22:11 |
| npurciful | it is a HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) and doesnt up mix | 22:12 |
| toorima | ah | 22:12 |
| npurciful | hugolp: on mythfrontend | 22:12 |
| npurciful | at the bottom right | 22:12 |
| hugolp | npurciful: ok, but would like to have it working for all gnome | 22:13 |
| npurciful | hugolp: i dont know then | 22:14 |
| npurciful | i use kubuntu | 22:14 |
| * Rigolo is going to sleep .. been a long day today ... | 22:14 | |
| npurciful | somewhere along the lines system systems > audio maybe? | 22:14 |
| Rigolo | dvb still broken .. probably need to set the channels by hand for the moment | 22:15 |
| npurciful | that sucks | 22:15 |
| Rigolo | it does ... | 22:15 |
| npurciful | i manage to break my sound so | 22:16 |
| Rigolo | 0.20.2 is also broken with dvb scanning ... but it sets the channel numbers correct, something that 0.21.something is not doing | 22:16 |
| Rigolo | and complete the bug report on the alpha 2 installer with geforce cards ... it complains about an encoding that is set to utf-8 when it can not or something | 22:17 |
| Rigolo | so .. bed time ... continue wrestling with it in the morning ... see if I can make a dvb import script based on scan and dvbsnoop output :-) | 22:18 |
| Rigolo | laters ... | 22:18 |
| === Rigolo is now known as RigoZzzz | ||
| hugolp | npurciful: you were right, gnome has a gui to control wich channels the volume up and down controls | 22:21 |
| hugolp | sometimes I just think it will be dificult and dont try the simple way | 22:21 |
| npurciful | ehe | 22:24 |
| npurciful | toorima: just read where asla state my be messed up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388191 | 22:36 |
