| directhex | you can configure assorted auto shutdown/wakeup stuff, but i've never sued it | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| staind9383 | is there a way to build shutdown / reboot into the menus in myth? i think that i saw that on a knoppmyth image once | 00:04 |
| rhpot1991 | staind9383: I think mythwelcome has them, not sure if it works or not | 00:06 |
| wilberfan | directhex: you mean in myth itself? | 00:18 |
| directhex | yeah, in myth | 00:20 |
| wilberfan | directhex: must be on one of those (myriad) config screens, huh? | 00:21 |
| directhex | probably | 00:21 |
| directhex | yiou can never have too many config screens | 00:22 |
| directhex | just look at kde! | 00:22 |
| wilberfan | if you shutdown via...er, "shutdown"--is that a problem...? | 00:22 |
| wilberfan | lol | 00:22 |
| directhex | no idea | 00:28 |
| wilberfan | i'm beginning to think it might not be possible to do this from within mythtv... (been doing some reading...) | 00:30 |
| staind9383 | this might not be the right place to ask this.... but where/what dir can i put a private key file so that i can login via ssh using keys instead of passwords | 00:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | staind9383, http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication | 00:59 |
| staind9383 | thanks | 01:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | np | 01:01 |
| staind9383 | so OpenGL support seems to eat CPU when i am on the menu idling... Basically when i am on the menus doing nothing else, one of my cpu cores maxes out -100% usage by mythfrontend.re. When i took off open gl menus, this stopped happening | 01:33 |
| staind9383 | is this completely strange? | 01:34 |
| rhpot1991 | well opengl does menu stuff like fading in and out so its not completely strange | 01:35 |
| rhpot1991 | are you using generic graphics drivers? | 01:35 |
| staind9383 | this was what i was seeing last night. I am using the restricted nvidia drivers | 01:36 |
| directhex | it's a myth/theme prolem | 01:36 |
| directhex | some themes define an "alphapulse" - a pulsing element. there is no limit to how fast it pulses - it's cpu limited | 01:37 |
| directhex | hence 100% cpu use | 01:37 |
| staind9383 | do you think that it is specific to the theme that i am using or just a general prob and the fix would be to use QT menus for now | 01:37 |
| staind9383 | i see | 01:37 |
| directhex | it's both. a different theme, or the qt painter, both eliminate the issue | 01:37 |
| staind9383 | that worked | 01:40 |
| staind9383 | thanks | 01:40 |
| wilberfan | well..drat. | 02:13 |
| wilberfan | I don't think my frontend is talking to the backend (so-to-speak)... | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | i don't think the xfs partition is getting mounted (but i have no idea why) | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | the fstab seems to be ok... | 02:15 |
| wilberfan_ | no...wait..it IS getting mounted... | 02:16 |
| wilberfan_ | ...i think this happened before: if the permissions of the 'recording' partition aren't correct, things won't start up correctly.... | 02:17 |
| wilberfan_ | anyone know about recording partition permissions and myth? | 02:17 |
| wilberfan_ | "Could not connect to the master backend server" | 02:18 |
| rhpot1991 | mind is 777'd | 02:19 |
| rhpot1991 | s/mind/mine | 02:19 |
| rhpot1991 | you can prob just get away with making mythtv or the user running mythtv as the owner/group | 02:20 |
| staind9383 | anyone know how to get channel icons? the link in the wiki to the mkiconmap.pl script is dead | 02:20 |
| wilberfan | as i recall (?) the permissions of the recording partition have to be the same as....something... | 02:22 |
| wilberfan | i can get the front end to start...(I can watch videos from a different partition)...but no backend I guess? | 02:22 |
| wilberfan | and why on earth does the keyboard STOP functioning sometimes??? | 02:25 |
| wilberfan | arrrrgh!! | 02:25 |
| wilberfan | the keyboard WONT work...but the remote DOES?! WTF | 02:26 |
| staind9383 | is there any way to keep the OSD across the whole screen when switching from HD to SD? | 02:29 |
| npurciful | I am having a problem getting my hdhr to work via dhcp connect to my computer | 02:32 |
| wilberfan__ | I'm the owner of the recording partition and the group is 'root'...is that correct? or should "mythtv" be in there somewhere?? | 02:33 |
| wilberfan__ | directhex, you around....? | 02:38 |
| wilberfan | any dip left? | 02:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wilberfan, the owner:group should be mythtv:mythtv | 02:51 |
| wilberfan | i thought maybe so... | 02:52 |
| wilberfan | what's the command to change that....? chmod? | 02:52 |
| staind9383 | apparently my cable provider does not implment the 5c flag at all... i can record everythin through firewire | 02:53 |
| staind9383 | sweet | 02:53 |
| wilberfan__ | tgm4883_laptop, i don't use that command often enough to remember it... | 02:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo chown mythtv:mythtv dir | 02:54 |
| nettow0822 | what desktop does mythbuntu 8.04 use? | 02:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | xfce4 | 02:55 |
| wilberfan__ | tgm4883_laptop, just the subdir (the recording one) or it's parent, too? | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wilberfan, depends on what dir you are in | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but you can do the full path and that would work | 02:55 |
| wilberfan__ | not sure what you mean...? | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | just use the full path | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | for instance | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | /var/lib/mythtv/recordings | 02:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | where is yours mounted? | 02:55 |
| wilberfan__ | "/mythdata/recordings" | 02:56 |
| wilberfan__ | so, "sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /mythdata/recordings"? | 02:57 |
| wilberfan__ | lets see if that works | 02:58 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| wilberfan__ | that would be a "woo-hoo!" | 02:59 |
| wilberfan__ | yep, that was the problemo.... | 02:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yep | 02:59 |
| wilberfan__ | so just one last problem (i think): | 02:59 |
| wilberfan__ | how do i make the front end show up on the TV--and not the monitor...? | 03:00 |
| wilberfan__ | I have the TV configured (and have a desktop showing)... | 03:00 |
| wilberfan__ | it's "to the right" of the monitor... | 03:00 |
| wilberfan__ | but myth starts up on the LCD (not the TV) | 03:01 |
| staind9383 | wilberfan__: i had that problem when i first started testing out myth... i didnt intend on keeping the monitor there permanently though, so i ended up just usingthe TV | 03:10 |
| staind9383 | i was tryin out component out at the time though, whicxh didnt work as well as vga | 03:10 |
| staind9383 | for the tv that is | 03:10 |
| wilberfan | this is essentially a reinstall of myth (it got severly borked last night)... | 03:13 |
| nettow0822 | Is it much trouble to change to gnome if I need too (xfce4 mythbuntu 8.04)? | 03:13 |
| wilberfan | ...only, instead of installing a _separate_ mythbuntu...i just installed it this morning under an existing gutsy... | 03:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nettow0822, no, it's a simple click in MCC | 03:14 |
| wilberfan | the clean install of mythbuntu (not under gutsy) results in some kind of configuration (automatically) that starts up on the tv and not the monitor... | 03:14 |
| nettow0822 | great ty | 03:14 |
| wilberfan | if the tv is powered on during the install...it recognized it and made it 'default' somehow... | 03:15 |
| staind9383 | strange | 03:15 |
| nettow0822 | I'm still having the xine /mythtv problem.....going to try a newer version of myth | 03:15 |
| wilberfan | but under this mornings "add mythtv to gutsy" install, i had to manually ADD the tv as a 2nd screen.... | 03:15 |
| wilberfan | it IS sending signals to the CRT...but just a duplication of my desktop... | 03:16 |
| wilberfan | there's gotta be a fairly straightforward way of making the CRT (S-Video) the "default" screen when the frontend fires up...? | 03:16 |
| wilberfan | i've poked around in nvidia-settings...but not sure what i'm looking for... | 03:17 |
| staind9383 | wish i knew more to help you out :( | 03:17 |
| wilberfan | wonder if i have to do something to the xorg.conf....? | 03:19 |
| foxbuntu | wilberfan, if you plug the tv into the video card and restart X does it pickup the tv | 03:24 |
| wilberfan__ | foxbuntu, the tv is always plugged into the video card... | 03:25 |
| wilberfan__ | Here's a comparison of the 'old' xorg (that defaulted to the TV) and the 'new' one: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5297/ | 03:25 |
| wilberfan__ | (i think the old config only had one device listed, to begin with!) | 03:26 |
| wilberfan__ | wonder if this makes a diff: | 03:27 |
| wilberfan__ | Option"UseDisplayDevice""TV" | 03:27 |
| wilberfan__ | Option"TVOutFormat""SVIDEO" | 03:27 |
| wilberfan__ | Option"TVStandard""NTSC-M" | 03:27 |
| wilberfan__ | or, maybe line 112: Option "Xinerama" "0" | 03:28 |
| wilberfan__ | ??? | 03:28 |
| wilberfan__ | I'm afraid i'm in over my head with xorg configging!! | 03:29 |
| staind9383 | how can you get the video and recording files to show up as downloadable links in mythweb? | 03:30 |
| staind9383 | or streamable for that matter | 03:30 |
| foxbuntu | wilberfan, why not replace the current xorg with the old one? | 03:31 |
| wilberfan | hmmm.... that might be worth trying, huh...? | 03:32 |
| foxbuntu | staind9383, they can only be streamed in .21 | 03:32 |
| staind9383 | i see | 03:32 |
| staind9383 | same for downloaded> | 03:32 |
| wilberfan | foxbuntu: although i WOULD like to know how to 'fix' the current xorg... | 03:32 |
| foxbuntu | no you should be able to download in .20 | 03:33 |
| wilberfan | just for the sake of learning and understanding... | 03:33 |
| foxbuntu | wilberfan, it looks to me like the current one is missing the correct monitor section, Video card settings and Screen settings | 03:33 |
| staind9383 | is there a specific setting for that to enable the doanload links? | 03:33 |
| foxbuntu | staind9383, there is no setting...its just part of mythweb | 03:34 |
| staind9383 | hmm | 03:34 |
| staind9383 | they dont seem to work for me | 03:34 |
| wilberfan__ | foxbuntu, keep in mind that i started with a 'working' Gutsy install (and no TV settings), and then ADDED the TV screen via nvidia-settings... (and then 'merged' them).... | 03:34 |
| wilberfan__ | foxbuntu, that's undoubtedly why tv-oriented stuff might be missing? | 03:35 |
| wilberfan__ | ? | 03:35 |
| foxbuntu | prob | 03:35 |
| staind9383 | ok so the recordings seem to work as downloadable.. not so much the videos | 03:35 |
| foxbuntu | staind9383, videos wont | 03:36 |
| foxbuntu | staind9383, videos show up in .21 | 03:36 |
| staind9383 | i see | 03:36 |
| foxbuntu | wilberfan__, there is some good docs and wiki's on setting up Twinview for nvidia out, just google for it and you will find out what you are missing | 03:42 |
| staind9383 | thanks for the help guys | 03:43 |
| staind9383 | i'm headed out for the night | 03:43 |
| wilberfan | hmmm. my remote (pvr-350) works ok with the menus and shows i've recorded...but NOT with my downloaded videos, etc.... | 04:02 |
| wilberfan | once the video is started (via the remote) no pausing, no jumping ahead, no volume control, etc... | 04:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wilberfan, what do you play the videos with? | 04:08 |
| wilberfan | you mean what proggie? | 04:08 |
| wilberfan | whatever is the 'default' with myth, i guess...? | 04:09 |
| wilberfan | what IS default with myth...? | 04:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | internal player | 04:10 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop: i didn't intentionally change it or anything... | 04:11 |
| wilberfan | although i did select the option in the setup to install those other 2 or 3 players... | 04:11 |
| wilberfan | vlc and mplayer and...? | 04:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what remote? | 04:12 |
| wilberfan | the one that comes with the PVR-350.... | 04:12 |
| wilberfan | "A415-HPG-A" | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | probably just need to generate some codes for it then | 04:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you should be able to do that in MCC | 04:15 |
| wilberfan | hmmm.... | 04:16 |
| wilberfan | i don't see a lot of options there... | 04:18 |
| wilberfan | "generate dynamic button mappings"?? | 04:18 |
| wilberfan | i have no idea what that means... | 04:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | check that | 04:21 |
| wilberfan | ok...there's a progress bar.... | 04:22 |
| wilberfan | ok, now it's gone... the MCC screen is back, and that "dynamic" box is UNCHECKED again... | 04:23 |
| wilberfan | is that normal? | 04:23 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, unban me | 04:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that was an accident | 04:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec | 04:24 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop: success on the remote situation... | 04:28 |
| wilberfan | :) | 04:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | good to hear | 04:28 |
| wilberfan | ok. i'm whipped. perhaps more tomorrow... thanks to EVERYone who helped out this morning and again this evening... | 04:35 |
| wilberfan | (loving the new theme and colors, btw!) | 04:36 |
| wilberfan | that's REALLY disapointing!!: | 06:22 |
| wilberfan | i thought it would be fixed by now: every time I delete the only remaining recording...myth locks up. | 06:22 |
| wilberfan | damn... | 06:22 |
| citybird | hi, question about controlling set top boxes. where can i get one of those ir controllers to change the channel of the set top box from the computer? | 11:39 |
| directhex|bsp | an ir blaster? | 11:39 |
| citybird | is there a list of controllers that work with mythbuntu? | 11:39 |
| citybird | ir blaster is that what it's called?? | 11:39 |
| directhex|bsp | googling for "ir blaster" works. i believe you get one with the xp media center remote, too | 11:39 |
| citybird | ah | 11:40 |
| citybird | didn't know that it sends as well | 11:40 |
| citybird | and this works with mythbuntu. | 11:42 |
| citybird | dam it's cheap!! | 11:42 |
| citybird | oooo, a 64-bit version. how well does that work?? | 11:59 |
| directhex|bsp | not very well, if you have a 32-bit cpu | 12:01 |
| citybird | heh. ok, ill check that first. | 12:15 |
| citybird | i have a couple of boxen lying around that i can stick this into for testing... | 12:16 |
| === Wckt2 is now known as WcktKlwn | ||
| javatexan | hey guys...finally dug out from that pile of work and now I am ready to get started writing a plugin for mythbuntu. How is the best way to go about this exactly....is there a development workspace for mythtv or do I have to install it and then just make changes to that version of it? | 17:10 |
| javatexan | does mythtv have a testing db, fake inputs, etc ....just curious before I head off too far into the weeds | 17:13 |
| npurciful | hey i got my HDHomeRun and DHCP installed but HDHR_config cant find device, I have it detect connect to my network card via a crossover cable. Can someone help please | 17:17 |
| pdragon | might want to try the forums if no one here is answering | 17:38 |
| npurciful | canone here help my with direct connecting my HDhomerun? | 18:11 |
| Chi11y | hmm | 18:43 |
| npurciful | Can someone help me with HDHR direct connect please | 18:43 |
| Chi11y | I have a computer that is exactly right on the minimum sysreqs, how bad would it run? | 18:43 |
| adaptr | "exactly right" for what ? | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | Chi11y, what do you mean exactly right? | 18:45 |
| Chi11y | well, not excatly right | 18:45 |
| Chi11y | they are spot on | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | AFAIK, it's a range | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | lets do it this way | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | Chi11y, what are your system specs | 18:45 |
| Chi11y | tgm4883: exactly the same as what is called "minimum syste requirements" on the site | 18:45 |
| Chi11y | 1.0 GHz x86 | 18:46 |
| Chi11y | 192 MB of system memory (RAM) | 18:46 |
| Chi11y | and a huge hd | 18:46 |
| tgm4883 | what tuner card?\ | 18:46 |
| Chi11y | no tuner card, I'm not gonna use fo TV, but more as a media center | 18:46 |
| tgm4883 | you should be fine then, providing that you don't try to play HD content | 18:47 |
| tgm4883 | or processor intensive video | 18:47 |
| Chi11y | okey, well I wont play no HD | 18:47 |
| Chi11y | nice :) | 18:47 |
| Chi11y | then I'll check mythbuntu out as media center when I have time, thank you very much! :) | 18:48 |
| adaptr | Chi11y: 192MB is enough if you don't use a desktop | 18:58 |
| Chi11y | adaptr: okey nice :) | 18:58 |
| adaptr | with a desktop and firefox, for instance, it quickly rises to 400MB | 18:58 |
| * adaptr cannot live without amaroK, so desktop it is regardless | 18:59 | |
| Chi11y | heh | 19:01 |
| Chi11y | I have lighter distros as desktop ;) | 19:01 |
| adaptr | a distro is not a desktop | 19:01 |
| adaptr | it typically HAS a desktop | 19:02 |
| Chi11y | well, as desktop distro, keke? ;) | 19:02 |
| adaptr | again, a distro isn't typically light or heavy | 19:03 |
| adaptr | for simplicity, one could say that KDE is heavier than Gnome, which is a lot heavier than XFCE | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | it sure can be | 19:04 |
| adaptr | I wouldn't run anything but XFCE on 192 MB | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | yeah | 19:04 |
| adaptr | and probably not even that | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | lol it would | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | whatya know? :P | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | I've actually used gnome + compiz on that computer | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | it lags abit though | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | but runs pretty decent | 19:04 |
| Chi11y | that required some hacking though :P | 19:05 |
