pdragonwell, i had a kernel update to do the same time i did the .21 upgrade00:14
jepeltwI just had 21 refuse to start at all so I had to downgrade00:27
ahaveanyone care to review my HTPC build?  https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=5891325&WishListTitle=AMD%2DMediaPC00:46
ahavethis HTPC build will be in worst case decoding bluray, using dualboot of xp and mythtv00:47
rhpot1991ah man, I just got a fusion steel on sale last week, wish I knew black would be on sale this week01:01
rhpot1991btw lirc with that case is proving to be a pain01:01
rhpot1991ahave: get this fan for that: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185046&Tpk=Scythe%2bNinja%2bminio01:02
rhpot1991your build is very similar to mine01:02
ahaveyea, i was reading bad reviews with the IR and display01:02
ahaveany other tips you could suggest? do you think it would have the power for bluray decoding?01:03
rhpot1991I have the display working with the silver01:03
rhpot1991but its supposed to be compatable with mce remotes and I can't get mine to work well with it01:03
ahaveany random characters?01:03
rhpot1991had that happen once01:03
rhpot1991pulled the power and it was ok01:03
ahaveyea, that was what people were saying the fix was01:04
rhpot1991unfortunately I don't have any bluray experience01:04
rhpot1991I thought you couldn't play back with linux01:04
ahavehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD01:05
rhpot1991http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127036 thats my board01:05
rhpot1991this ram is cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682014503401:06
rhpot1991err wait, 2gb compared to 4gb01:06
ahaveyea01:06
ahave4GB just bc of XP on dual boot01:06
rhpot1991I think 2gb is more than enough for xp01:07
rhpot1991vista is a different story01:07
rhpot1991but if you have the cash why not01:07
rhpot1991the power supply in that case only has 2 sata plugs01:07
rhpot1991not sure if its an issue for you or not01:08
ahavealso check out this inntel build http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=841708601:08
ahavenah, dont plan on running too many hard drives on the front01:08
ahavehow is that PS? any issues?01:08
ahaveloud?01:08
rhpot1991nope01:08
rhpot1991I like antec ps's01:08
rhpot1991I've heard you can get quieter, but they are nice IMO01:09
ahaveyea. i was looking at other cases that did not come with one, and i had a nice 80+ eff PS01:09
ahavebut i liked this case, mostly the VFD and dual 120s01:09
rhpot1991ahave: did you check and see if any of that stuff comes in combos?01:09
rhpot1991I knocked $25 off of mine by comboing01:10
ahaverhpot1991, no actually...01:10
ahavehmm01:10
rhpot1991and another $10 with a email coupon code01:10
ahavewould that be under 'combo deals'01:10
rhpot1991plus $50 in rebates01:10
rhpot1991ya on the laft side you can click view all by combos01:10
rhpot1991and see whats available01:10
rhpot1991do that for all parts, as they all combo differently01:10
rhpot1991mix and match and see how low you can get it01:10
ahavesweet. thanks01:11
ahaveso were you able to get mythtv running nicely?01:11
ahaveother than lirc01:11
rhpot1991seems to be, I just built it01:20
rhpot1991I have some firewire headaches as well, but I had those before building it01:21
ahavecan you think of anything else i might need? this is my first build... i need to add thermal paste01:25
rhpot1991that fan I pasted is real good, and fits in there01:26
rhpot1991some thermal paste, I got artic silver 501:26
ahavehow is the noise for the whole system?01:27
ahavewhat about wire mess inside the case? do the orginal PS wires create a mess? is it worth getting ties01:29
rhpot1991seems good, I'm running it with the fans on quiet, and the fan on the heat sink, my cpu temp is +28.5°C while recording01:29
rhpot1991normally around 25 while idle01:29
rhpot1991it has 2 ties in it that you can hook the wires by where the hard drives are at01:30
rhpot1991the rest you can just push into the cpu bay01:30
rhpot1991s/cpu/cdrom/01:30
ahave28.5C is quite low, right?01:30
ahavepast 30 is getting warm?01:31
rhpot1991thats what I hear01:31
rhpot1991one of the other devs here has an amd64 thats up near 4001:31
ahaveso there is nothing with your build that you would change if you could go back01:33
rhpot1991I'm annoyed by the IR, but that should work itself out01:33
rhpot1991sata cdrom might be a little noisy, but I haven't tried playing a dvd in it yet01:34
rhpot1991I think the black has a LCD in it where the silver has a VFD01:35
ahaveoh yea?01:35
ahavehmm01:35
rhpot1991I saw a posting back in mid 07 saying the LCD wasn't functional in linux yet, that is quite some time ago though01:35
ahaveyour right, it is an LCD01:36
rhpot1991google seems to indicate it should work now01:36
rhpot1991http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=71072701:36
ahavehmm. i just assumed it was the same as the silver01:36
rhpot1991looks like you need to do what I did, install lirc_imon with MCC01:37
rhpot1991install lcdproc with apt, then change the config to use the imon driver01:37
rhpot1991pretty easy01:37
ahavenice01:37
ahavewhat remote are you using?01:37
rhpot1991I got a mce remote that is supposed to work with it, but I only have it working with the usb adapter that came with the remote now01:38
rhpot1991http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1688010085101:38
rhpot1991came with a bundle with my mobo, thats the only reason I got it01:38
ahavewould you recomend it? (have you been able to use it?)01:38
rhpot1991it works if you chose mce from MCC and plug in the IR adapter01:39
rhpot1991my hauppauge remote worked previously though as well, so if it wasn't for the case supposedly working with that remote I wouldn't have bought it01:39
rhpot1991are you putting a tuner in that?01:39
ahavemaybe...01:40
ahavemaybe 101:40
rhpot1991most of the hauppauge tuners come with remotes01:40
ahaveah01:40
rhpot1991so it depends what you are putting into it01:40
ahaveare you using a tuner?01:40
rhpot1991the mce ones work well though with the usb dongle01:41
rhpot1991I have a pvr-350 in one box, and a pvr-150 in another, as well as firewire to a STB01:41
rhpot1991http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57020401:41
rhpot1991read that over if you haven't01:41
ahaveso you are using 2 tuners? or do you have a backend system?01:43
rhpot19912 backends, one with 2 tuners (counting firewire) and one with 1 tuner01:43
ahavenice01:44
zo0o0ot_hello01:44
ahaveso are backends difficult to setup?01:44
zo0o0ot_does anyone use a pchdtv hd-3000 in here?01:45
zo0o0ot_or know how to get one working?01:45
rhpot1991ahave: its a bit daunting you first install, lots to configure01:45
rhpot1991but once you know what you are doing its easy01:45
ahavewhat if i do a front end?01:45
ahaveor is it both front and back on the same sys?01:46
rhpot1991you can mix and match, but you really need a frontend somewhere and a backend somewhere to get the most out of it01:46
rhpot1991you can have multiples of each, they can be on the same system, or split01:46
rhpot1991I have 2 boxes each with a FE and BE01:46
ahavehm01:47
rhpot1991if you have one system and its powerful enough it makes sense to do both on it01:47
ahavehow extensive does the backend need to be?01:47
rhpot1991thats what I am doing with that fusion01:47
ahaveah, ok01:47
rhpot1991which is almost the same as your, minus the 2x ram01:47
rhpot1991same exact cpu01:47
ahaveyea, ram is abit over kill.  but for the price... 80$ for 4GB01:48
ahavemight as well, lol01:48
rhpot1991my old master backend/frontend was an athlon 1900+, only reason I swapped it out was cause it couldn't play back HD well enough if it was doing anything else01:48
ahavewhat HD sources did you have/01:48
rhpot1991HD playback is a cpu killer, and I'd imagine bluray is as well01:49
rhpot1991firewire to a STB01:49
ahaveah01:49
ahaveSitTobBox?01:49
ahavetop*01:49
rhpot1991set top box01:49
rhpot1991motorola 3200 from comcast01:49
ahaveand that allows PC interaction? or just access to the stream?01:49
rhpot1991just got my HD tv so I'm still messing with it, not really reliably recording all the channels right now01:49
rhpot1991it can change the channels and grab the stream over the firewire01:50
ahavenice01:50
rhpot1991it all depends on your cable company though, a lot of them encrypt the streams01:50
ahavecomcast01:50
rhpot1991they are required to give you firewire access to the OTA locals, thats about it01:50
rhpot1991and even then sometimes they don't01:50
ahavei can plug in my cable to my HDTV and the sharp tuner can decode01:51
rhpot1991its hit or miss depending on your area01:51
rhpot1991ya I can do that too, with a few channels01:51
rhpot1991those channels you can get a HD tuner card to pick up01:51
rhpot1991a lot of people like the HDHR for that01:51
rhpot1991$150 if you shop around, and it has 2 HD/digital tuners01:51
ahaveand that is external?01:52
rhpot1991yep, ethernet01:52
ahaveso my board would need a second NIC?01:57
directhexneeding more than one NIC for home use is exceedingly rare01:59
rhpot1992I think you can just attach it to your network01:59
ahaveoh02:00
rhpot1992I don't have one though, so google02:00
ahaveok02:00
rhpot1992or find someone on here or in #mythtv-users who has one02:00
ahavefor just a normal HD tv tuner.. does it only decode HD or can it do both?02:01
rhpot1992depends on the tuner, I think most only do HD (well) and some can do SD but don't have hardware encoding02:02
rhpot1992if you want SD get a hauppauge 150 or 500 if you want dual tuners02:02
rhpot1992they work out of the box, and normally come with remotes02:03
ahavenot many seem to have remotes on newegg... only a certain few  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681511662802:04
ahavenvm02:05
ahaveand do you think my system would be powerfull enough to run mythtv back and front with TV tuners?02:07
ahavei prob just wont be able to decode HD at the same time..02:08
rhpot1992I haven't tested HD out much yet, but I've been told a high end amd64x2 can handle recording and playing back HD at the same time02:12
rhpot1992and with the hauppauge cards they have hardware encoding, so recording from them does practically nothing on the system02:13
=== rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991
ahaveand you are using the onboard graphics?02:13
rhpot1991yep, seems to playback ok, but once again I just built it so I haven't gotten to mess with tweaking it much yet02:13
ahaveyea02:13
ahavei am getting excited :)02:13
rhpot1991I wanted to reuse my old agp cared, but no one makes agp boards anymore02:13
ahaveyea02:14
a1fa_woot02:14
a1fa_i am install mythbuntu on a 233mhz system02:14
a1fa_:P02:14
a1fa_touchscreen pos terminal02:14
ahavea1fa_, what will the function be?02:14
a1fa_playback only02:14
rhpot1991a1fa_: good luck playing back video on that02:14
ahaveis it possible to configure a front end on a nintendo ds.. just to select media content?02:15
a1fa_why is that?02:15
rhpot1991ahave: not that I know of, 360 kinda does upnp02:15
rhpot1991you can run a frontend on a xbox 102:15
rhpot1991a little slow if you run actual mythtv, but you can access the recordings though xbmc with upnp or some scripts that are similiar to the frontend02:16
ahavei was looking at the DS as an advanced remote..02:16
ahavewhat is upnp?02:16
a1fa_how many mhz is xbox?02:17
rhpot1991~450 I think02:17
rhpot1991real low on ram though02:17
a1fa_so 233 mhz cant play video?02:17
rhpot1991I didn't say it can't just said good luck02:17
rhpot1991decent video card?02:18
a1fa_i got an xbox running xbmc.. i'd love to do mythtv so i can move that box inside my "server room"02:18
rhpot1991ahave: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/UPnP02:18
rhpot1991a1fa_: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Frontend02:19
ahaveah,ok02:19
a1fa_lol02:19
ahaveso is my DS remote idea too far off?02:19
a1fa_i'd love to stick with xbmc02:20
rhpot1991a1fa_: scroll down on that02:20
rhpot1991Install XBMC MythTV02:20
a1fa_it doesnt work02:20
rhpot1991how not?02:20
a1fa_well it didnt work with my svn02:21
a1fa_i am sure someone fixed it to work with 0.2102:21
rhpot1991I think that might be an issue02:21
rhpot1991have you tried doing upnp with xbmc?02:21
a1fa_why?02:22
rhpot1991might give you almost the same functionality as a frontend02:23
a1fa_not live tv02:23
a1fa_guide etc02:23
mythwoo_hello02:24
mythwoo_anyone using pchdtv hd-3000 tuner card?02:24
mythwoo_anyone here?02:24
rhpot1991a1fa_: you can install linux on it, but its a bit underpowered for that02:25
rhpot1991it runs, but its got a little bit of a delay02:25
a1fa_i'll just wait for someone to fix mythtv for xb,c02:27
Aquahallicevenin' folks02:43
AquahallicI just took the mythtv update and now all my people are blue02:43
Aquahallic:/02:43
Aquahallicanyone else seen this problem??02:45
ahaverhpot1991, would it be wise to down size my hard drive used for the OS?02:54
ahavecurrently have a 320GB drive, would a 80GB cavalier work better?02:54
ahavecaviar*02:56
rhpot1991your call, I don't go with smaller hard drives for speed, but I have some friends who do02:58
rhpot1991check out segate, they offer 5 year warranty's02:58
rhpot1991no additional cost, most WD's are 1 year or 3 anymore02:58
ahavei suppose i could always partition the 32002:59
ahaveand you said the PS only has 2 SATA power cables?03:00
rhpot1991ya, there are only 2 HD slots in that case as well03:00
ahaveah,ok03:01
rhpot1991unless you are gonna throw one on top of the cdrom03:01
rhpot1991I got a sata dvd burner though, so I had to dig out an adapter03:01
ahavehow many hard drives and of what size are you using?03:02
rhpot1991400gb and 300gb sata, and a 1TB mybook in my master backend, I like to horde up BF deals though03:03
ahaveBF?03:05
rhpot1991black friday03:05
ahaveah03:05
ahavedo you backup 100% to the mybook?03:05
rhpot1991Hard Drive: This depends on what you want to record, and how much you want to keep at a time. I've seen around 1.7-2GB per 30 minutes of Standard Definition from a PVR-150. 6.4-7GB per hour of High-Def.03:05
rhpot1991thats for mythvideo and whatever I need it for03:06
rhpot1991no where near filled, but nice to have around03:06
rhpot1991I think 750gb is the best per gb price right now03:06
rhpot1991newegg has a segate for 150 after rebate03:06
ahavei was planning on holding out on storage purchases until i build the backend03:08
rhpot1991so thats gonna be a frontend only?03:09
ahavefront and back until i build the backend03:09
ahavethen it will be frontend only03:09
ahavethen i will move all the tuners and HDs to a backend03:10
rhpot1991that machine is powerful enough to do both, so you can try that and see how it goes03:10
rhpot1991do you have any old boxes around now?03:10
ahaveyea03:10
ahaveamd K2 as a win2000 mp3 server03:10
rhpot1991what speed is that?03:11
ahaveslow...03:11
ahavelike 500 Mhz?03:11
ahavemaybe less than that03:12
ahavethe plan was just to build a backend03:12
ahaveare mythtv backends needing anything specific?03:13
rhpot1991I was gonna say you could get a SD tuner and use that to play around with for now, but thats kinda weak for it03:13
ahavei was just thinking, pic slots, raid, and room for HDs03:13
ahavePCI*03:13
rhpot1991depends what you want to do with it, recording doesn't take much cpu, but things like transcoding your recordings does03:13
ahaveyes. the pc is just too slow03:13
tgm4883_laptop500mhz should be fine for a backend only with a hardware encoder03:13
Aquahallicdoes anyone know if the update for mythtv has new firmware for the pvr-150???03:13
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: might be borderline for playback depending on the video03:14
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: did I ever get you that mythweb config?03:14
* rhpot1991 is forgetful today03:14
tgm4883_laptopwell playback isn't going to be fun on that03:15
tgm4883_laptopno you didn't03:15
ahaveis worthwhile to use data for DVD burner?03:15
ahaveis there any gain in performance?03:16
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: struck out some info since thats available via the interweb, let me know if you need to verify anything in that03:18
tgm4883_laptopk03:18
rhpot1991ahave: you can backup recordings, or make dvd's that will play in dvd players with it03:18
rhpot1991plus sata burners are like $20 some now03:19
ahavebut comparing to IDE, any gain?03:19
ahaveother than the wire managment03:19
rhpot1991I'd say don't worry about it if you don't need one03:19
tgm4883_laptopif you already have ide, go ahead and keep it.  If you are going to buy new, get sata03:19
rhpot1991my one sticks so I replaced it03:20
rhpot1991was jamming dvd's in it03:20
ahaveick03:20
ahavewell i think i will just buy an IDE, that way i free up a SATA power line03:21
ahaveprice diff is only 2$03:21
rhpot1991ahave: check and see if a retail box comes with a converter03:21
rhpot1991I had one laying around so it wasn't a big deal03:21
rhpot1991also you can prob get one for $2 on newegg03:22
tgm4883_laptopahave, they usually come with a converter03:26
ahavei read a few reviews that mentioned needing a converter03:26
rhpot1991mine was OEM so thats why I didn't get one03:27
ahavebut ill get the converter when i get the second HD03:27
tgm4883_laptopalso, some drives have both connections03:27
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: was your volume real low on a fresh install?03:27
ahavemine is OEM also03:27
rhpot1991a few of my HD's have both, some don't03:27
rhpot1991hit or miss depending on how new they are it seems03:28
tgm4883_laptopnope03:28
tgm4883_laptopit was the standard 70%03:28
tgm4883_laptopvery important that if they have both, you do not hook up both03:29
ahaveok, i cant seem to think of anything else:   http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=589132503:31
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: thats how my old was, but this one seems quiet, so I'm not sure what to adjust without distorting things, guess I'll play around03:33
tgm4883_laptopdid you adjust any hardware?03:34
tgm4883_laptopcheck your audio cables03:34
tgm4883_laptopmake sure they are all the way in03:34
rhpot1991ahave: I got a liteon lightscribe burner for slightly less than that, depends if you like samsung or not03:34
tgm4883_laptopi've heard/read/experienced bad things with the seagate 7200.10 drives03:35
rhpot1991actually I made that up03:35
ahavetgm4883_laptop, oh really?03:35
tgm4883_laptopyep03:35
ahaveWD caviar be better?03:35
tgm4883_laptopno03:35
tgm4883_laptopi only buy seagate03:35
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: explain03:35
ahave5400?03:35
rhpot1991the perpindicular ones?03:36
tgm4883_laptopi had a couple of the 500gb sata 7200.10 drives03:36
tgm4883_laptopthe one in my backend was loud, sounded like crap (constant clicking) and seemed to be going out03:36
tgm4883_laptopso i pulled it03:36
tgm4883_laptopthe other one is new03:36
tgm4883_laptopSo my recommendation is to either03:37
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: odd, I have a segate 500gb, not sure its a perpendicular though03:37
tgm4883_laptopA) spend a little more and get a 7200.11 drive (i haven't heard anything about these)03:37
tgm4883_laptopB) get the drive anyway, cause seagate support is pretty good03:37
rhpot1991whats the difference between .10 and .11?03:37
tgm4883_laptop.0103:38
ahavecache size?03:38
rhpot1991whats that translate to though?03:38
tgm4883_laptopohhh, 32mb cache03:39
tgm4883_laptopyum03:39
tgm4883_laptopi'd go with the drive you have03:41
tgm4883_laptopit will work03:41
tgm4883_laptopwhen it starts to go out, buy a new one and RMA the old one03:41
ahaveyea03:41
rhpot19915 year on it03:41
rhpot1991also hard drives are hit or miss03:41
* tgm4883_laptop loves seagate03:41
rhpot1991they all go bad eventually03:41
* tgm4883_laptop makes a dog leg humping motion03:41
rhpot1991unless its a steal I go seagate anymore as well03:41
rhpot1991I used to like WD but they are getting cheap with their warranty now03:42

Aquahallicsuperm1 I see you posted on the "mythtv blue skin" problem with ATI... That looks like it's only if you're running the restricted driver... am I correct??04:08
tuvookcool, mythtv-status now shows the channel the shows will record from04:09
=== superm1_ is now known as superm1
tuvooksuperm1, I fixed the issue with my missing /dev/video006:38
superm1o?06:39
superm1what was it06:39
tuvookit was a hardware issue, where I borked my front usb connections to my mobo06:39
superm1nice06:39
tuvook:)06:39
tuvookI figured out how to tunnel mythweb via ssh, but my connection si too slow to stream the videos from my myth box though:(06:40
tuvookbut its nice to know I can06:41
superm1tunneling stuff via ssh is a great thing06:41
superm1i end up having to do it on a daily basis06:41
tuvooktotally06:41
superm1the -D switch is the best thing since peanut butter06:42
tuvook-D?06:43
tuvookI used -L06:43
toorimadynamic foreward06:43
superm1read about -D06:43
superm1it creates a socks proxy06:43
toorimagreat thing06:43
toorima.ssh/config is a great file06:43
superm1you cleraly haven't lived yet tuvook :)06:44
tuvookreading the manpage now06:44
toorimai have almost a 100 lines in .ssh/config hehe06:45
tuvookseems like -L and -D do the same thing, -L just allows the remote machine to forward a port to a port binding on the local machine?06:48
toorima-06:48
tuvookwhich allows me to see mythweb on my local host @ port 808006:48
toorimayes06:49
tuvookhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythWeb_ssh_tunnel_howto06:49
tuvookjust making sure I understand, thx06:49
toorimabut -D will do dynamic forward, so if you don't know where the packet is going, say you want to tunnel torrent traffic06:49
toorimamake your own proxy via ssh or something06:50
tuvookhmmm06:50
toorimasample   LocalForward 127.0.0.1:3000 127.0.0.1:300006:51
toorima  DynamicForward 127.0.0.1:777706:51
superm1or if you just want to send "general" web traffic over it you can06:52
superm1it's also possible to send the dns look ups06:52
superm1so that you can't be snooped on say an open wifi06:52
toorimalocal tells where the tunnel is and where to go after the tunnel, while dynamic only are told whre the tunnel is and then go where ever after the tunnel06:52
toorimaor you have webfilter at work...06:52
tuvookssh -L 8080:localhost:80 cflynn@mydomain.com06:53
tuvookso how would that line work with -D?06:53
toorimassh -D 8080:localhost06:54
tuvookBad dynamic port '8080:localhost'06:56
tuvookand you still need to login to the remote server?06:56
toorimawell i never put the switches on the command line, i have my settings in .ssh/config but try ssh -D localhost:808006:57
tuvookthat does not work06:57
tuvookwait06:57
tuvookbad syntax06:58
toorimai just tried it06:58
tuvookthat string brings up ssh help06:58
superm1isn't it just ssh -D 8080 $HOST?06:59
toorimassh -D localhost:8080 -p 2222 host06:59
superm1it's implied that it's localhost i thought06:59
toorimabut u can skip -p 2222 if u run on regular port06:59
toorimaoh yeah u dont have to specify localhost07:00
toorimai just do it of old habbit07:00
tuvookhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythWeb_ssh_tunnel_howto07:01
tuvookqhy didn't the author use -D?07:01
tuvookand if he had, I'm trying to understand what the string would look like?07:02
toorimabecause he is specifying exactly where all the traffic should go07:02
cbrunnerhey anyone here?07:03
toorimamaybe07:05
cbrunnerhey07:05
cbrunnerever since I upgrade to .21 tonight07:05
cbrunnerI got it all working07:05
cbrunnerbut I cant select videos anymore07:05
cbrunnerin myth front end07:05
cbrunnerI cant select video settings, video manager, anything related to videos07:05
superm1cbrunner, sudo apt-get install mythvideo07:06
superm1that'll take care of it07:06
superm1mythdvd is now integrated with mythvideo and that's why07:07
cbrunnerok installing that07:07
cbrunnerwhat does it have to do with mythdvd?07:07
cbrunnerah07:08
cbrunnerworks perfect now07:08
cbrunnersweet07:08
superm1see :)07:08
cbrunnerhow do I make it save the screen res07:09
cbrunnerlike07:09
cbrunnerwhen I press W07:09
cbrunnerI want it to be full07:09
cbrunnerand do that every time07:09
cbrunnerman the new mythweb is nice07:18
superm1i really have to wonder why all these people are hitting this mythdvd thing07:36
superm1mythvideo is marked as conflicts/replaces07:36
directhex|worksuperm1, apt-get upgrade, i suspect10:13
directhex|worksuperm1, upgrade won't obey conflicts/replaces, since it won't remove or add packages, just modify existing ones10:14
Aquahallicsuperm1: you around??13:19
Aquahallicanyone know if the videos directory changed with .21 update??13:32
directhex|workshouldn't do. that stuff's set in the DB, which shouldn't be changed in that way by the update13:34
toorimaAquahallic: after u done the update do sudo apt-get install mythvideo13:34
toorimaif u cant access videos13:34
Aquahallicwhen I go to mythweb and click on videos it says "Could not create a symlink to var/lib/mythtv/videos create a symlink to your videos directory in data/video"13:36
AquahallicI don't see a directory called data/videos though13:38
directhex|worklook in /var/www/mythweb13:39
Aquahallickewl... thanx... found it13:41
Aquahallicnow all I have to fix is my "Blue People" on my frontend running on this laptop.....13:41
AquahallicI used to like the smurfs when I was little but this it NUTS....LOL13:41
directhex|workati?13:42
Aquahallicyeah13:42
directhex|workfigures13:42
AquahallicI found that hack out there... but I'm using the free driver13:42
Aquahalliclooks like that hack is only for those using the restricted driver13:43
Aquahallicand I use Compiz on this laptop so soon as I put the restricted driver on everything goes haywire13:44
directhex|workati do not support mythtv or compiz. there's problem number 1 with the restricted driver13:44
Aquahallicyeah I know13:44
Aquahallicsorry bastids13:44
Aquahalliconly ATI card I have is on this laptop13:45
Aquahallicand it'll be the LAST one13:45
AquahallicI was hoping that when AMD picked up ATI they would do something good with it13:46
Aquahallic.21 supports the flash streaming doesn't it??13:47
directhex|workAquahallic, off by default for a few reasons, but yes14:01
Aquahallickewl... I guess I can just stream to vlc or something on this laptop since the internal player on the frontend doesn't like my ATI... :(14:07
AquahallicI wonder if there's a workaround for the free ATI driver????14:09
directhex|worktinker with the playback profiles14:10
Aquahallicdirecthex|work: I have 2 mythbuntu boxes that were 7.10... I just took the .21 update on them... would I be better off to just do the Hardy upgrade on them??14:25
directhex|workthat's your choice. i upgraded to hardy on my laptop, but i think i'll wait on my other machines14:25
directhex|workthe broken libc upgrade has me nervous14:26
Aquahallicahh... good point14:26
rhpot1991_laptoplibc6 got fixed the next day I think14:26
rhpot1991_laptopall is clear now14:26
Aquahallicone of mine have the nvidia-legacy drivers and my frontend bombs on it14:27
rhpot1991_laptopAquahallic: as long as its 0.21 it doesn't matter what OS it is running on, they can see each other14:27
AquahallicI saw that the legacy driver issue is fixed in Hardy14:27
directhex|workrhpot1991_laptop, i know it was fixed, that doesn't mean i don't have the right to be nervous though14:28
directhex|workrhpot1991_laptop, i know how mad the kernel guys go just before release14:28
Aquahallicanyone else using the nvidia legacy drivers?14:28
rhpot1991_laptopdirecthex|work: I completely agree, but thats never stopped me from breaking things before :)14:30
directhex|workrhpot1991_laptop, there's breaking things and there's breaking things14:30
directhex|workanyway, currently i'm pondering modifying Envy to build beta version drivers14:31
Aquahallichrm... where did .20 house the video_covers??14:37
Aquahallicseems like that's a broken link too14:37
Aquahallicin mythweb14:37
rhpot1991_laptopjust go fix it yourself14:37
rhpot1991_laptopif you aren't using the default dirs I think it breaks14:37
AquahallicI was using /var/lib/mythtv14:38
Aquahallicthat dir is mounted to my 500 gig drive14:38
Aquahallicbut I don't see where it was keeping my covers before....:/14:38
rhpot1991_laptopcheck ~/.mythtv14:39
AquahallicI see lots of .png files in my recordings dir14:39
Aquahallichmmm.. k14:39
rhpot1991_laptopthere is a subdir in there that it uses for them by default now14:39
rhpot1991_laptopthose .png files are just previews of the recordings14:40
rhpot1991_laptopalso you can set where it keeps the covers in the setup menu14:40
Aquahallicok... WTF... I just opened a term and sudo -s and then ran Thunar14:43
Aquahallicwhen I go into my home dir and find my user... there's NUTTIN' in that dir but desktop14:43
directhex|workAquahallic, you used sudo. the user is root14:44
rhpot1991_laptopalso its .mythtv, hidden dir14:45
Aquahallicright... but if you path to the user's that logs into mythtv you should see it as root14:45
Aquahallicmust be a filter in thunar that doesn't show hidden files14:45
AquahallicI found it by cli with ls -a14:46
Aquahallic:)14:46
Aquahallicstill no cover art though...14:46
Aquahallicactually... now that I think about it.. I may not have even used it before...LOL14:47
Aquahallicso the dir may not even be there... The video folder is all the kid's movies and stuff so I was never in there really... have to ask the g'friend if they were there before14:47
AquahallicI guess I could just make a dir called video_covers and then link it.. couldn't I?? then then just start popping my covers in there14:48
rhpot1991_laptopyep14:54
rhpot1991_laptopthe search will get covers for you automagically if they are found14:54
rhpot1991_laptopI prefer not to put my covers in the actual video directory, as the video manager will start to slurp them up14:54
Aquahallicthere's already a symlink in my data dir.. how can see what the symlink is to now??14:55
rhpot1991_laptopls -la will show you14:55
rhpot1991_laptopjust make a new one to the new directory14:55
Aquahalliccan I edit that symlink or do I need to delete it and create a new one?14:55
rhpot1991_laptopI've always deleted and made a new14:56
Aquahallicyeah14:56
AquahallicI just did that14:56
Aquahallicgood idea about a different dir too...;)14:56
Aquahallicno need for it to parse those files when scanning for new videos14:57
AquahallicI guess myth creates a pointer in the db between the video file and the cover art.. .right?14:57
rhpot1991_laptopyou can tell it not to include unknown files, but I think the image files are on by default and I'm not sure if that effects things like slideshows if you disable it14:58
rhpot1991_laptopthere is a covers column in the videos database, it will put the name in there14:58
directhex|workAquahallic, right14:59
Riddellis mythbuntu ready for beta candidate CDs?15:40

MythbuntuGuest07i have that problem on two WinXP PCs with firefox 2 and 3 beta18:42
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest07, yea, i've seen that problem 2 times in the last week.  It's very strange18:44

MythbuntuGuest04I cannot access Video Directory / Video Manager after a fresh install of Mythbuntu 7.10.  Is this a known issue and what would the fix be?18:53
pdragondo an apt-get install mythvideo18:55
pdragonthat doesn't get upgraded if you do a regular update to .2118:55
MythbuntuGuest07its a rule witch blocks http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js18:55

rhpot1991_laptopkeeps track of hits and so on18:57
MythbuntuGuest07yes but it couse a java script error18:57
MythbuntuGuest07becouse of that the forward script is never executed18:57
MythbuntuGuest04Thanks pdragon...  Must be a new issue as I havent had to do this in the past.18:57
MythbuntuGuest07a html redirect could sole this18:58
rhpot1991_laptopMythbuntuGuest04: you have to do that cause it removes mythdvd which is now included in mythvideo18:58
MythbuntuGuest04Ok, so installing a fresh copy of 7.10 is installing .21 of MythTV now...  Was not aware.19:00
MythbuntuGuest04And I was reading there is a problem with IMDB; has that been repaired yet?19:01
MythbuntuGuest07cu19:02
rhpot1991_laptopMythbuntuGuest04: well the initial install will do 0.20.2, but if you upgrade it will grab 0.21 from backports, so you can disable them in /etc/apt/sources.list if you don't want them19:03
MythbuntuGuest04Already installed :)...  I didnt think they were giving it to everyone.  Figured one would need to change the sources.list to GET it.  Any input on IMDB not pulling movie information?19:04
MythbuntuGuest04LOADING... continues to hang on Video Manger..19:07
MythbuntuGuest04Unable to pull IMDB title information19:07
rhpot1991_laptopverify your versions all match19:07
rhpot1991_laptopdpkg -l myth* |grep ^ii19:08
directhexand make sure you aren't using 0.20.2, iirc imdb.pl broke19:10
rhpot1991_laptopimdb lookup worked fine for my 0.21 box last night via the frontend19:11
MythbuntuGuest04what is the check for imdb.pl19:12
MythbuntuGuest04MythStream is 18.1...   All others are pertinant to this are at 21.019:13
MythbuntuGuest04Did you reboot after *mythvideo?19:13
rhpot1991_laptopyou should restart your frontend at least, backend wouldn't hurt either19:14
MythbuntuGuest04I did...  Here is the strange thing, maybe new... I have a remote connection which is loading the movie database.  In the past, it would work in the background.  Maybe, since the movies are not ALL copied "loading" appears at the top.  Just a guess.  I am able to pull movie information using the "search" command.  However, unable to use the "manual" feature will not.  Have the black box to enter IMDB #, but will not display/allow type.  BU19:18
MythbuntuGuest04Must mention, the "search" is working MUCH better than it did in the past...19:21
rhpot1991_laptopI haven't tried typing the number in manually, can't tell you if that works or not19:22
rhpot1991_laptopwhy copy them, why not just use an nfs or samba share?19:22
MythbuntuGuest04Its an idea, just dont want to host using my work machine.  Use extra space for backup.19:27
rhpot1991_laptopwell using a share would only have one copy of them instead of 2 if you are copying them around19:28
rhpot1991_laptopso that should give you move space19:28
MythbuntuGuest04You think...  Just one of my fail-safe methods, prob doesnt make much sence to most.  But, do think I will migrate to NAS eventually...19:30
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest04, mythstream is not an official plugin19:31
MythbuntuGuest04Can someone check Video manager and see if they can use the MANUAL feature (looking up movies).  Also, curious if option to edit movie title NAME is an option.19:32
MythbuntuGuest04rhpot1991: I have been thinking about what you said, NFS or Samba...  Say I used that, would it save the movie poster/information on the network drive or remain on the Backend server.  Also, could I set this up to ONLY host movies, but record to the Backend machine?  Reason being, is I dont have enough space to do everything on my Work PC.  Additionlly, dont want recordings going on in the background.19:50
nwahmaetdoes anyone know why mythbuntu is compiled without opengl?19:52
rhpot1991_laptopMythbuntuGuest04: you can do whatever you want with it pretty much, what you do with an nfs share is mount it to a directory19:54
rhpot1991_laptopfor instance, I record recordings to both backends locally, and then have videos on one that are shared out to the other backend19:54
rhpot1991_laptopand a separate share for the covers19:55
rhpot1991_laptopsince they are in separate directories19:55
MythbuntuGuest04Nice....  That WOULD work for my setup.  Is there a walk-through guide on this?  Have not setup an NFS or Samba before (old roomate was the Linux guru).19:56
rhpot1991_laptophttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo19:57
rhpot1991_laptopthat is pretty good IIRC19:57
MythbuntuGuest04looks like a little work, but I think I will set this up... THANKS rhpot1991; good information.19:59
rhpot1991_laptopMythbuntuGuest04: its not too bad, just gotta create the shares on your local box, and then throw them in /etc/fstab20:00
rhpot1991_laptop /etc/fstab on the remote box that is20:00
BittarmanIs mythbuntu usefull without a tv-card, or is it really only any good as a pvr?20:14
rhpot1991_laptopBittarman: you can add recordings by hand, or use mythvideo20:15
rhpot1991_laptopbut it isn't as useful then20:15
rhpot1991_laptopmight want to look at something like xbmc in that case as the functionality is almost the same20:15
BittarmanCheers.20:16
tgm4883_laptopunless you plan on adding a tv card later20:16
rhpot1991_laptopgood point tgm4883_laptop20:17
Bittarmannot really. i mostly want it for music, and the occasional film maybe.20:17
tgm4883_laptopelisa would also be a good option for a non pvr media center20:17
Bittarmancool. Thanks20:17
rhpot1991_laptoptgm4883_laptop: is elisa in apt?20:18
rhpot1991_laptopyep, it is20:18
Riddellso no mythbuntu developers about?22:06
directhexthey're all hiding22:08
tgm4883_laptopRiddell, the answer to your question is no.  it' wont be in that state until at least Thursday22:12
Riddelltgm4883_laptop: in what state?22:13
tgm4883_laptopbeta state22:13
tgm4883_laptopi assume thats what your wanting to know22:13
tgm4883_laptop<Riddell> is mythbuntu ready for beta candidate CDs?22:13
Riddelltgm4883_laptop: ok, we'll leave it out of the beta process then22:14
tgm4883_laptopRiddell, what beta process?22:14
Riddellthe one we're doing now to release beta on thursday22:14
tgm4883_laptopoh sec, i thought you were just a regular user asking if we had beta iso's yet22:14
Riddellno, I'm a release manager asking if someone is managing the mythbuntu beta release22:15
tgm4883_laptopah, let me grab someone22:16
* laga waves22:17
lagaso, what's up with the beta?22:17
tgm4883_laptoplaga, <Riddell> is mythbuntu ready for beta candidate CDs?22:17
* tgm4883_laptop goes back to work22:17
Riddelllaga: looks like there are CDs to be tested, is somone testing them?22:18
lagaRiddell: cdimage.ubuntu.com currently only builds our alternate disks which haven't received much love yet.. i'm testing one as we speak22:18
lagaRiddell: i assume you're referring to those disks.22:19
lagawe build the live disks ourselves22:19
Riddelllaga: ok, are the alternates going to be releaed by us with beta?22:19
Riddellor do we just ignore them and let you get on with it?22:19
lagaRiddell: no, we basically have our own release cycle22:20
Riddellok, easier for us then :)22:20
lagagreat :)22:20
Riddelllet me know if you need packages approved or new CDs built or whatever22:20
lagaRiddell: you don't happen to have some tipps for udeb debugging? ;)22:21
lagaRiddell: cool, thanks.22:21
Riddellnot really, udebs scare me, possibly evand the installer maintainer would22:21
directhexudebs scare me too22:21
lagaheh22:23
lagawell, i never got to the point where i could try the udeb. virtualbox usually hung earlier, but now it's looking good..22:23
DavieyRiddell: If of course the ubuntu-testing team doesn't have enough work <grin>, then we would appreciate some extra love - i'm sure!22:24
lagawhy did i have to mention it.. vbox is hanging now22:25
DavieyRiddell: something else... currently we maintain our own mirrors for livecd (this will be our first alt' release, and first one of either on cdimages .. so i guess mirrored around on ubuntu mirrors ..).  I'm trying to think what direction our mirroring should go in.22:26
RiddellDaviey: I should think since we host alternate daily's we can host alternate releases on cdimage (but I'm not the expert there, slangasek and #canonical-sysadmin are)22:29
Davieyslangasek is UK timezone?22:30
DavieyRiddell: ^22:30
RiddellDaviey: he's US22:30
RiddellI'm UK22:30
DavieyUK++22:31
DavieyRiddell: thanks22:31
