[00:02] you can configure assorted auto shutdown/wakeup stuff, but i've never sued it [00:04] is there a way to build shutdown / reboot into the menus in myth? i think that i saw that on a knoppmyth image once [00:06] staind9383: I think mythwelcome has them, not sure if it works or not [00:18] directhex: you mean in myth itself? [00:20] yeah, in myth [00:21] directhex: must be on one of those (myriad) config screens, huh? [00:21] probably [00:22] yiou can never have too many config screens [00:22] just look at kde! [00:22] if you shutdown via...er, "shutdown"--is that a problem...? [00:22] lol [00:28] no idea [00:30] i'm beginning to think it might not be possible to do this from within mythtv... (been doing some reading...) [00:56] 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 [00:59] staind9383, http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication [01:00] thanks [01:01] np [01:33] 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 [01:34] is this completely strange? [01:35] well opengl does menu stuff like fading in and out so its not completely strange [01:35] are you using generic graphics drivers? [01:36] this was what i was seeing last night. I am using the restricted nvidia drivers [01:36] it's a myth/theme prolem [01:37] some themes define an "alphapulse" - a pulsing element. there is no limit to how fast it pulses - it's cpu limited [01:37] hence 100% cpu use [01:37] 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] i see [01:37] it's both. a different theme, or the qt painter, both eliminate the issue [01:40] that worked [01:40] thanks [02:13] well..drat. [02:14] I don't think my frontend is talking to the backend (so-to-speak)... [02:14] i don't think the xfs partition is getting mounted (but i have no idea why) [02:15] the fstab seems to be ok... [02:16] no...wait..it IS getting mounted... [02:17] ...i think this happened before: if the permissions of the 'recording' partition aren't correct, things won't start up correctly.... [02:17] anyone know about recording partition permissions and myth? [02:18] "Could not connect to the master backend server" [02:19] mind is 777'd [02:19] s/mind/mine [02:20] you can prob just get away with making mythtv or the user running mythtv as the owner/group [02:20] anyone know how to get channel icons? the link in the wiki to the mkiconmap.pl script is dead [02:22] as i recall (?) the permissions of the recording partition have to be the same as....something... [02:22] i can get the front end to start...(I can watch videos from a different partition)...but no backend I guess? [02:25] and why on earth does the keyboard STOP functioning sometimes??? [02:25] arrrrgh!! [02:26] the keyboard WONT work...but the remote DOES?! WTF [02:29] is there any way to keep the OSD across the whole screen when switching from HD to SD? [02:32] I am having a problem getting my hdhr to work via dhcp connect to my computer [02:33] I'm the owner of the recording partition and the group is 'root'...is that correct? or should "mythtv" be in there somewhere?? [02:38] directhex, you around....? [02:47] any dip left? [02:51] wilberfan, the owner:group should be mythtv:mythtv [02:52] i thought maybe so... [02:52] what's the command to change that....? chmod? [02:53] apparently my cable provider does not implment the 5c flag at all... i can record everythin through firewire [02:53] sweet [02:53] tgm4883_laptop, i don't use that command often enough to remember it... [02:54] sudo chown mythtv:mythtv dir [02:54] what desktop does mythbuntu 8.04 use? [02:55] xfce4 [02:55] tgm4883_laptop, just the subdir (the recording one) or it's parent, too? [02:55] wilberfan, depends on what dir you are in [02:55] but you can do the full path and that would work [02:55] not sure what you mean...? [02:55] just use the full path [02:55] for instance [02:55] /var/lib/mythtv/recordings [02:55] where is yours mounted? [02:56] "/mythdata/recordings" [02:57] so, "sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /mythdata/recordings"? [02:58] lets see if that works === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [02:59] that would be a "woo-hoo!" [02:59] yep, that was the problemo.... [02:59] yep [02:59] so just one last problem (i think): [03:00] how do i make the front end show up on the TV--and not the monitor...? [03:00] I have the TV configured (and have a desktop showing)... [03:00] it's "to the right" of the monitor... [03:01] but myth starts up on the LCD (not the TV) [03:10] 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] i was tryin out component out at the time though, whicxh didnt work as well as vga [03:10] for the tv that is [03:13] this is essentially a reinstall of myth (it got severly borked last night)... [03:13] Is it much trouble to change to gnome if I need too (xfce4 mythbuntu 8.04)? [03:13] ...only, instead of installing a _separate_ mythbuntu...i just installed it this morning under an existing gutsy... [03:14] nettow0822, no, it's a simple click in MCC [03:14] 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] great ty [03:15] if the tv is powered on during the install...it recognized it and made it 'default' somehow... [03:15] strange [03:15] I'm still having the xine /mythtv problem.....going to try a newer version of myth [03:15] but under this mornings "add mythtv to gutsy" install, i had to manually ADD the tv as a 2nd screen.... [03:16] it IS sending signals to the CRT...but just a duplication of my desktop... [03:16] there's gotta be a fairly straightforward way of making the CRT (S-Video) the "default" screen when the frontend fires up...? [03:17] i've poked around in nvidia-settings...but not sure what i'm looking for... [03:17] wish i knew more to help you out :( [03:19] wonder if i have to do something to the xorg.conf....? [03:24] wilberfan, if you plug the tv into the video card and restart X does it pickup the tv [03:25] foxbuntu, the tv is always plugged into the video card... [03:25] Here's a comparison of the 'old' xorg (that defaulted to the TV) and the 'new' one: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5297/ [03:26] (i think the old config only had one device listed, to begin with!) [03:27] wonder if this makes a diff: [03:27] Option "UseDisplayDevice" "TV" [03:27] Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" [03:27] Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" [03:28] or, maybe line 112: Option "Xinerama" "0" [03:28] ??? [03:29] I'm afraid i'm in over my head with xorg configging!! [03:30] how can you get the video and recording files to show up as downloadable links in mythweb? [03:30] or streamable for that matter [03:31] wilberfan, why not replace the current xorg with the old one? [03:32] hmmm.... that might be worth trying, huh...? [03:32] staind9383, they can only be streamed in .21 [03:32] i see [03:32] same for downloaded> [03:32] foxbuntu: although i WOULD like to know how to 'fix' the current xorg... [03:33] no you should be able to download in .20 [03:33] just for the sake of learning and understanding... [03:33] wilberfan, it looks to me like the current one is missing the correct monitor section, Video card settings and Screen settings [03:33] is there a specific setting for that to enable the doanload links? [03:34] staind9383, there is no setting...its just part of mythweb [03:34] hmm [03:34] they dont seem to work for me [03:34] 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).... [03:35] foxbuntu, that's undoubtedly why tv-oriented stuff might be missing? [03:35] ? [03:35] prob [03:35] ok so the recordings seem to work as downloadable.. not so much the videos [03:36] staind9383, videos wont [03:36] staind9383, videos show up in .21 [03:36] i see [03:42] 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 [03:43] thanks for the help guys [03:43] i'm headed out for the night [04:02] hmmm. my remote (pvr-350) works ok with the menus and shows i've recorded...but NOT with my downloaded videos, etc.... [04:02] once the video is started (via the remote) no pausing, no jumping ahead, no volume control, etc... [04:08] wilberfan, what do you play the videos with? [04:08] you mean what proggie? [04:09] whatever is the 'default' with myth, i guess...? [04:09] what IS default with myth...? [04:10] internal player [04:11] tgm4883_laptop: i didn't intentionally change it or anything... [04:11] although i did select the option in the setup to install those other 2 or 3 players... [04:11] vlc and mplayer and...? [04:12] what remote? [04:12] the one that comes with the PVR-350.... [04:13] "A415-HPG-A" [04:15] probably just need to generate some codes for it then [04:15] you should be able to do that in MCC [04:16] hmmm.... [04:18] i don't see a lot of options there... [04:18] "generate dynamic button mappings"?? [04:18] i have no idea what that means... [04:21] check that [04:22] ok...there's a progress bar.... [04:23] ok, now it's gone... the MCC screen is back, and that "dynamic" box is UNCHECKED again... [04:23] is that normal? [04:24] tgm4883_laptop, unban me [04:24] that was an accident [04:24] sec [04:28] tgm4883_laptop: success on the remote situation... [04:28] :) [04:28] good to hear [04:35] ok. i'm whipped. perhaps more tomorrow... thanks to EVERYone who helped out this morning and again this evening... [04:36] (loving the new theme and colors, btw!) [06:22] that's REALLY disapointing!!: [06:22] i thought it would be fixed by now: every time I delete the only remaining recording...myth locks up. [06:22] damn... [11:39] 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] an ir blaster? [11:39] is there a list of controllers that work with mythbuntu? [11:39] ir blaster is that what it's called?? [11:39] googling for "ir blaster" works. i believe you get one with the xp media center remote, too [11:40] ah [11:40] didn't know that it sends as well [11:42] and this works with mythbuntu. [11:42] dam it's cheap!! [11:59] oooo, a 64-bit version. how well does that work?? [12:01] not very well, if you have a 32-bit cpu [12:15] heh. ok, ill check that first. [12:16] i have a couple of boxen lying around that i can stick this into for testing... === Wckt2 is now known as WcktKlwn [17:10] 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? [17:13] does mythtv have a testing db, fake inputs, etc ....just curious before I head off too far into the weeds [17:17] 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 [17:38] might want to try the forums if no one here is answering [18:11] canone here help my with direct connecting my HDhomerun? [18:43] hmm [18:43] Can someone help me with HDHR direct connect please [18:43] I have a computer that is exactly right on the minimum sysreqs, how bad would it run? [18:44] "exactly right" for what ? [18:45] Chi11y, what do you mean exactly right? [18:45] well, not excatly right [18:45] they are spot on [18:45] AFAIK, it's a range [18:45] lets do it this way [18:45] Chi11y, what are your system specs [18:45] tgm4883: exactly the same as what is called "minimum syste requirements" on the site [18:46] 1.0 GHz x86 [18:46] 192 MB of system memory (RAM) [18:46] and a huge hd [18:46] what tuner card?\ [18:46] no tuner card, I'm not gonna use fo TV, but more as a media center [18:47] you should be fine then, providing that you don't try to play HD content [18:47] or processor intensive video [18:47] okey, well I wont play no HD [18:47] nice :) [18:48] then I'll check mythbuntu out as media center when I have time, thank you very much! :) [18:58] Chi11y: 192MB is enough if you don't use a desktop [18:58] adaptr: okey nice :) [18:58] with a desktop and firefox, for instance, it quickly rises to 400MB [18:59] * adaptr cannot live without amaroK, so desktop it is regardless [19:01] heh [19:01] I have lighter distros as desktop ;) [19:01] a distro is not a desktop [19:02] it typically HAS a desktop [19:02] well, as desktop distro, keke? ;) [19:03] again, a distro isn't typically light or heavy [19:04] for simplicity, one could say that KDE is heavier than Gnome, which is a lot heavier than XFCE [19:04] it sure can be [19:04] I wouldn't run anything but XFCE on 192 MB [19:04] yeah [19:04] and probably not even that [19:04] lol it would [19:04] whatya know? :P [19:04] I've actually used gnome + compiz on that computer [19:04] it lags abit though [19:04] but runs pretty decent [19:05] that required some hacking though :P [19:35] Anyone here have mythtv registered to asterisk to do caller id screen pops. It keeps crashing the frontend. I think its a bug [19:36] report it [20:12] what's the recommended way to start mtd on mythbuntu? [21:47] hey, someone wanna help out a newb? Trying to get my mythbuntu to play movies that are packed in .rars without unpacking them? [21:50] hello anyone have the time to help my setup HDHomeRun direct connect to pc cant seem to get dhcp right [21:53] I'm testing out mythbuntu alpha3. Problem is I can't setup my wireless network connection. The network is WPA encrypted. The network settings menu in Mythbuntu is completely grayed out [22:31] tgm4883: whats your verdict on the storage groups? [23:10] Hey all [23:10] after mythbuntu 8.04 is installed...should I do any updates? [23:11] updates are a good thing [23:11] ok ty [23:22] is it possible to setup a file manager like gksudo nautilus in xfce? [23:33] what is the graphical text editor in xfce?
