[00:00] * tgm4883_laptop Trademarks Daviey [00:00] * tgm4883_laptop sets up Daviey LLC [00:01] can you set up Daviey LLC? surely it'd need to be Daviey PLC or Daviey Ltd. [00:01] ah, good point [00:01] * tgm4883_laptop sets up Daviey Ltd [00:02] we could be enormously generous and set up Daviey CIC [00:02] for the good of mankind [00:02] ooo, auto rejoin [00:02] :( [00:02] :) [00:02] I win [00:03] so lets say i want to run mytharchive to create a native archive to a directory. who has to have permissions to the directory in question? [00:03] :( [00:03] I win [00:03] ping c3rb3rus5 [00:03] c3rb3rus5, at a guess, the user running the frontend. [00:03] c3rb3rus5: directhex beat me to it [00:03] c3rb3rus5, (nice name BTW), most likely, mythtv [00:03] ok, thanks [00:04] pong? [00:04] but again, like above it depends on who is running the frontend [00:04] c3rb3rus5, can you do some firewire primer testing? [00:04] alright, i'll have to check [00:04] yea, i am gonna reinstall so i can run that script [00:04] still wont run [00:04] * majoridiot isn't sure if it is too restrictive for SA boxes [00:05] the purpose of the native archive is so that i can reimport everything after i reinstall [00:05] * frank23 has /var/lib/mythtv on a separate partition [00:06] yea, i have /var/lib as a seperate partition... buuut i think that the last time i tried to reinstall over what i had, it made me format that one [00:06] which is no goo [00:06] good also [00:06] so i am anticipating and backing up all my recordings [00:07] tryingto be semi smart these days [00:07] c3rb3rus5: yeah... I'd like to trust ubuntu version upgrades but I don't [00:11] thanks guys, that worked and the files are copying now... think that there is like 90 gigs of stuff though.. might take a while [00:12] c3rb3rus5, no firewire testing then? [00:12] majoridiot: same problem as before: the script cannot be found [00:13] for whatever reason [00:13] i'll give it a shot again, maybe it was not found only on saturdays or something... hold on [00:13] c3rb3rus5... hold on [00:13] there's a new version. [00:13] ahh [00:13] ok [00:14] link me [00:14] c3rb3rus5, are you i386? [00:14] amd64 [00:14] figures. [00:14] no dice? [00:14] need rhpot to compile a binary. [00:14] unless you want to? [00:14] how long does it take to compile? [00:14] about 10 seconds. [00:14] topas [00:14] tops [00:15] yea, ican compile then, just give me the command to run [00:15] sec... lemme post the source to pastebin for you. [00:15] ok [00:17] c3rb3rus5, can you pm here? is you nick regisitered? [00:17] nick has to be registered to PM? [00:17] then no [00:18] whats the command? /nickserv register or something? [00:19] just use pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [00:20] c3rb3rus5, it's ok... rhpot1991 is compiling an amd binary. it'll be posted in a coupla minutes :) [00:20] ok [00:20] he snuck in on us... ;) [00:20] haha its ok [00:21] easier on you. [00:21] i havn't compiled anything since college really, its problably better off [00:22] nah... it's a really simple compile. [00:22] i'm sure you would have handled it. [00:23] be back in like 10 mins [00:23] k [00:30] c3rb3rus5: primer binary http://www.baablogic.net/mythbuntu/mythprime -- you need to make it executable. either right-click and set in the permissions tab or chmod +x it [00:43] does anyone record the same shows in both HD and SD? [00:45] majoridiot: could it be that i was trying to execute a 32 bit binary the last time and that is why it didnt run? [00:46] no [00:46] it was permissions, i'm sure. [00:47] i'm pretty certain they were set right, but in anyu case, this one runs [00:47] i'll pastebin the output shortly [00:49] majoridiot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6306/ [00:49] freakin perfect. TYVM, c3rb3rus5! [00:50] although a subsequent run redirecting output to a log file seems to hang... (i'm not reallys sure if you are suppoed to run back to back) [00:51] shouldn't hurt anything. [00:52] * majoridiot has been doing it for days [00:52] yea, subsequent ru nfailed p2p... wierd [00:52] i guess the good news here is that i dont have to reinstall persay... [00:53] hm. still failing? [00:53] lemme check it again [00:53] mine runs quicker on the 2nd run [00:53] no it worked now [00:53] moto though [00:54] i did a soft reset of the stb, seemed to clear things up [01:04] so does anyone here have a kworld atsc110? the audio on mine for analog tv in sounds like alvine and the chipmunks... i kinds stopped using it because of this [01:05] check the mythbuntu wikis [01:05] * majoridiot thinks there might be info there [01:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [01:07] i'm not sure that analog will be much use since i record via firewire... it just seems like a waste of a perfectly good card though [01:07] maybe its a good start to another backend... [01:11] hi all... having issues with playing dvds after re-installing mybuntu from synaptic. If I enable v4l-int-device drivers under restricted drivers and restart, DVDs play but mythtv videos will not [01:12] instead I get what looks like an encrypted cable channel [01:12] if I disable, mythtv works fine, but DVDs do the same thing described above [01:12] any ideas on this? [01:13] is mythvideo installed and mythdvd not installed? [01:13] mthdvd has been deprecated in the new packages... you only want mythvideo installed. [01:13] correct, however I'm only trying to play dvd via VLC [01:14] ah [01:14] i'm not even running mythvideo right now actually [01:14] no mythtv plugins... so yea... play DVD via VLC [01:15] i get a similar thing if i try to watch videos with mythtv playing on screen 3... can't play videos right again until i restart x. it started some time ago after an update. [01:15] *note it's v4l2-int-device (spelled wrong above) [01:17] i'm not even clear on what v4l2 is [01:19] what is the default player for mythtv? mplayer? [01:19] note: with v4l2 enabled I can also use vlc to watch the videos.... just not mythtv .... wtf? [01:19] (by videos i mean recordings) [01:20] mplayer also able to open videos [01:21] as is totem... so basically mythtv doesn't like v4l2 enabled but everything else performs properly with it [01:21] ran mythfrontend via Terminal and didn't see any errors [01:22] not true: XvMCTex: Init failed [01:53] is the prefix for gutsy and hardy still /usr? [02:02] ok so now I've disabled v4l2-int-device, restarted, all video works in VLC etc. but playback still fails in mythtv [02:03] note: also reinstalled vlc [02:03] prior setup: v4l2-int-device disabled would allow mythtv to play video... not sure why the change [02:03] still getting error: "VideoOutputXv: XvMCTex: Init failed" [02:06] is the prefix for gutsy and hardy still /usr? [02:08] Ava-, what? [02:08] like when I compiled in feisty all the time I always had to ./configure --prefix=/usr [02:08] oh [02:08] since feisty stored it's stuff in /usr and not /usr/local [02:09] just wondered if that's changed with gutsy and hardy [02:09] it also seems that I have Xv picture controls disabled... so i don't know why mythtv is complaining about Xv [02:10] how do I add a usb-uirt to mythbuntu [02:12] Hey guys; having a problem w/ my Backend - it is not saving the IP address. [02:12] Corey, what do you mean it's not saving the IP address? [02:12] Would like to know which file "setup/general" writes to so I can manually configure. [02:12] Corey, do you mean the IP address for the backend is changing? Or that in mythtv it is changing [02:13] tgm4883_laptop: I enter the IP address and save - then go back in and it says "local host" [02:13] what address are you putting in? [02:13] Then Backend address [02:14] what is the backend address? [02:14] 192.168.1.101 [02:14] hmm [02:14] any errors in the logs? [02:15] sounds like it can't find the backend to save it [02:15] 2008-03-31 19:09:44.752 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.101:6543 (try 1 of 5) [02:16] 2008-03-31 19:09:44.753 Connection timed out. You probably should modify the Master Server settings in the setup program and set the proper IP address. [02:16] make sure you master backend has that IP and not 127.0.0.1 in mythtv-setup [02:16] ok so it seems that my issue may not be the error message... to sum up: playback in mythtv is green / pink "noisy" screen with audio [02:16] Yah, minor glitch [02:16] where are you putting that ip address in, the frontend or the backend? [02:16] as well as the mysql service in MCC [02:16] I took it as the frontend [02:17] which I recall is remote [02:17] small video in bottom right of screen is playing just fine [02:17] alright - one sec [02:17] all video in vlc etc. is playing fine... myhfrontend seems to be screwed up out of no where [02:19] Frontend Setup; 192.168.1.101set for both fields: (Local Backend (mythfrontend) and Master Backend [02:20] how do I get to mysql to check the settings; commands [02:20] Stemming78: you need to do that on the backend in mythtv-setup [02:20] before the frontend (which is remote, right?) can see it [02:20] No, this is my main box that is having the issue (Frontend/Backend setup). [02:21] I am sure the Remote is also down ATM. [02:22] Frontend setup is correct.... Backend Setup (in Setup/General) will not set... Enter the address and save... Go back in and it says ; local hose. [02:22] *host [02:22] what program does mythtv use for video playback? [02:23] I am having issues there as well; default - mplayer [02:23] Stemming78: verify you set that IP in mythtv-setup [02:23] if they don't match it wont like that [02:23] the mysql stuff shouldn't matter at this point, that might come up for the other frontend though [02:24] I verified the IP address is correct in setup; accessed from MCC - 2 fields have 192.168.1.101 at option 1 (main screen) [02:25] Its just weird I cannot set an address at Setup/General - always reverts back to "local host"... Somethings not taking. [02:26] this is so lame... if mplayer is able to open videos and play them, mythtv should be able to as well... [02:26] Here is another line from the log file: SIP listening on IP Address 192.168.1.101:5060 NAT address 192.168.1.101 [02:26] SIP: Cannot register; proxy, username or password not set [02:28] tgm4883_laptop: how do you know my name? [02:29] Stemming78, sorry I hacked your machine and was reading your email [02:29] force of habit [02:29] no shit? [02:29] no [02:29] when you sign on [02:29] it says [02:29] * Stemming78 (n=Corey@209.159.215.9) has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [02:29] is that supposed to do that? [02:30] yea [02:30] you can get a default hostname to hide your ip if you like [02:30] heh, don't worry he tried to hack my server earlier as well [02:31] I wonder what mine says... [02:31] rhpot1991, want to find out? [02:31] tgm4883_laptop: well, It wouldnt surprise me as my cpus were running real high earlier - corrected after reboot. [02:32] oh rhpot1991 my way was soooo much better [02:32] it consisted of /cs k rhpot1991 [02:32] can somemone help me confiure lirc [02:32] tgm4883_laptop: where does it pull that from? [02:33] my client doesn't have a jbaab anywhere in my login [02:33] ok, no more fooling arround. Ive got a downed server... This is priority as my PORN is not going to record [02:33] rhpot1991, what irc client do you use? [02:34] pidgin normally [02:34] Stemming78: right now my taxes are my priority :) [02:35] true, but this is Monday night PORN. Like football, but better. [02:35] I'm having a problem where the menu disappears when i start up the frontend [02:35] orangepeelbeef: see the FAQs [02:35] ;-) really, I am kidding.... but it is pissing me off. [02:35] where do I set the expire rate for recordings? [02:35] i tried the thing with the FAQ rhpot [02:35] Stemming78: careful with the language, ubuntu rooms have a family rating [02:35] * rhpot1991 goes away for a few minutes [02:35] it works if i force it to opengl on the commandline, but it won't work otherwise [02:36] dthacker: can answer that - one sec [02:36] ok, I've been churning through menus for 15 minutes [02:36] I go in and set the appearance to opengl and it has no effect, only when i force it with -O does it work properly [02:36] and I have a small hard drive [02:37] .oO(for now, muwahahahahahaha) [02:38] dthacker: Manage Recordings - Storage Options.... Allows you to set auto expire or not. Also has the feature to "keep X ammount" of a certain recording. [02:40] aha!, I don't have that option on my front end. I'll have to zip down to the basement and try the backend machine [02:40] rhpot1991: will use "skin" from now on. [02:40] bbiab [02:41] not tv settings--> general? [02:41] Sorry to everyone in the forum for my blatant remarks. [02:41] That too; second screen... Mine is not enabled... [02:42] Like the "max" limit... [02:42] i think it was the pi**ing off :P [02:43] dthacker: Check Tv Settings; general.... 2cond screen - Auto Expire instead of Delete Recording... [02:43] Enable and set [02:43] majoridiot: you going to get my backend up and running [02:43] this is pretty irritating... why if i force the -O ThemePainter=OpenGL from the commandline it works, but even setting the painter to opengl in the appearances section doesn't make it work [02:43] It took a nose dive. [02:45] By that I mean the IP address is not setting so NO Masterbackend. [02:50] 2008-03-31 18:48:59.086 Using NV NPOT texture extension [02:50] wonder if that is my problem [02:56] Stemming78: was more for the curse word, just its a rule in ubuntu channels, so its good to tell people to just watch themselves before anything becomes a problem [02:56] if someone were to complain to the right people one could get themselves banned and so on, and no one wants that [02:58] I would have to side with you on that... Although, I think one can say in on the radio/TV. Thanks for the headsup [02:59] all I can say is, diskless client is the greatest thing in the world [03:03] dthacker: I shortcutted the menus; Frontend and Backend should have the same menus... [03:03] Here is what you need to do; First Manage Recordings --> Set Priorities --> select the recording you wish to change --> Storage Options --> Allow "auto-expire"... Can also "episode limit" - that is the option I use; especially when recording the news. Next goto Setup/Utilities --> Setup --> General / Screen 2 --> set it as you need... that should free up space... [03:04] I think they all have auto-expire by default, because that's always been enabled. [03:06] dthacker: Setup/TV Settings/General --> second screen [03:06] That prob is not set [03:06] auto expire default is checked [03:07] lowest priority first [03:07] K, then you can set the timeframe.... [03:07] I personally prefer to have a set ammount of recordings that can be on my box = Episode limit from Storage Options... [03:07] You find that [03:08] I'm picking and choosing episodes because the disk is so small, this is a trial install. [03:08] TV Settings / General --> Auto Expire instead of delete recording is checked? [03:09] That will be WHERE you can set the ammount of days recording will be held... [03:10] Hope that helps.. [03:10] screen name is General(Auto Expire). Expire Method is "Lowest Priority First" [03:13] yah, that should do it. [03:15] dthacker: check "Auto Expire instead of delete recording is checked?" at bottom of screen. That is where you set the "days" [03:17] I don't seem to have that option [03:18] best way to install mythtv in 8.04? [03:18] TV Settings, General, 2cond screen / last option... . What does it say? [03:18] Extra Disk Space in Megabytes [03:19] Below that? [03:20] Just sniped a PVR500 w/ remote (MCE bundle) for $76 ---> WoW [03:21] Stemming78: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5451/myth1af1.png [03:22] Lucky dog! [03:25] which version? [03:25] are do you have installed? [03:29] mythtv-frontend 0.20-2. It might be just beacause it's the front end. [03:29] Which install CD image did you use; Mythbuntu? [03:37] installing mythtv on new 8.04 system .. cannot login to database? [04:10] hi, [04:11] do you know if gbpvr got a chat room [04:11] or could you help me anyway [05:12] http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/31/youtube-rickrolls-users/ [05:17] I have a problem. at 720x480 (480p tv), the entire mythtv setup screen is not visible [05:17] the buttons on the bottom get cut off [05:19] Kevin`: that sounds like a wrongly set DPI in X [05:19] keescook ok, where is that set? [05:20] normally it's detected, but sometimes you have to force it. (at least that fixed similar issues for me: http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2005/10/16/mythtv-dpi/ ) [05:20] so i'd want to decrease that? [05:21] dunno what yours is set to, but getting mine to "100" worked. (it was 75 and doing crazy things) [05:21] ok [05:21] anyway, just another area to fiddle with :) [05:21] where is that in the xorg config, I don't have a displaysize line [05:22] I think it goes in the Screen stanza [05:22] sorry, "Device" [05:22] Option "DPI" "100x100" [05:25] it doesn't look any different, but i'll try the setup [05:26] yeah, if that doesn't work, try a different theme. good luck! I gotta split... [05:27] http://kwzs.be/~kevin/mythtvsmall.png - here's what happens [05:29] Kevin`, are you on the final 0.21? [05:29] there was a bug in the earlier builds related to that.. [05:30] superm1 I downloaded the 7.10 cd, then updated everything from apt [05:30] what am I at [05:30] Kevin`, well if you used gutsy-backports (which is what it sounds like), that's the final 0.21 [05:30] are all apps cut off the bottom, or just mythtv-setup? [05:30] yeah backports is in the list [05:31] no, other apps aren't, unless they go off the screen [05:31] which a lot of the desktop apps do, but you can move them [05:31] Kevin`, okay then i'd recommend just fly through mythtv-setup (hit enter on all pages) [05:31] and open mythfrontend [05:31] you can customize your display size to work around this at least [05:32] where in mythfrontend is that [05:32] i'm not sure why it would be happening (haven't seen in hardy at all) [05:32] settings->appearance [06:05] hey im having a bit of trouble with mythfilldatabaseit seems to freeze at 2008-04-01 16:00:20.390 Grabber prefers method: allatonce [06:05] 2008-04-01 16:00:20.393 New DB connection, total: 3 [06:05] 2008-04-01 16:00:20.395 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost [06:05] and the only way to get it moving is to press CTRL+C which after that prints the error 2008-04-01 16:00:32.767 Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file any ideas? [06:28] oh I think I have solved the mystery i think there has been a change between 0.20 and 0.21 so that now mythfilldatabase does not print the output of the grabber? now that i added '-v all' to the end I can now see that out put and see that infact the 'freeze' was infact the grabber working silently been so used to seeing all the output in 0.20 i thought something was wrong just shows how impatient I am [09:04] Hi guys, I have just updated Mythbuntu by changing my sources.list to hardy from gutsy, I rebooted as it requested, now it sits at the loading screen (one with the puprle progress bar) for a minute or two then drops back to command prompt [09:04] The prompt says Busybox v1.1.3 [09:04] then (initramfs) _ [09:56] looks like your system is unable to find your root partition, at a guess [09:56] what disk controller do you use? [10:02] * juzzy_ shrugs [10:02] onboard sata2 controller [10:03] found the part it stops on "Begin: Waiting for root file system..." [10:03] :( [13:15] in #ubuntu-mobile [13:16] Sorry. :-) [16:01] I am trying to get the remote which came with my PVR-150 set up. I think I have configured it all correctly [16:01] but nothing happens when I press the buttons on it, is there an easy way to debug it? [16:19] When I try to run irw it returns instantly [16:20] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/dev/lircd"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) [16:31] I have the error from lirc if anyone is interested [16:35] hi i get an error message with mythbuntu 8.04 that says cannot connect with master backend -- is it started? is its IP adress right? [16:36] sry I just translated it from german into english so it might not be identical [16:40] right it seems as if there is not lirc device in /dev [16:51] is there some kind of pastebin I can use? [16:52] versus, in /topic when you joined [16:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4630159 is my problem [16:54] oh thx [17:08] Anyone have any ideas? [17:43] hello [17:44] so is Mythweather busted again in the new version? [17:44] sure, why not [17:44] in Myth 0.21 [17:44] seems to be a regular occurance [17:45] of course you could help people a little more by saying whats not working [17:45] first screen, no information [17:45] other screens are ok [17:46] I think I like the old version of Mythweather better [17:46] I'm looking forward to the new HD capture device from Hauppauge [17:46] http://brentevans.blogspot.com/2008/03/hauppauge-hd-pvr-component-video.html [17:48] hi I mythbuntu works now but Im looking for a good howto about mythweather the only german cities I found were Berlin and Munich how can I add other sources or add a different city? [17:52] anybody test out the new beta yet? [17:53] no? [17:55] yes i do [17:55] too late [18:32] no ideas? [18:37] whats the name of that home automatization based of ubuntu [19:05] a1fa_: linuxmce? [19:06] thats it [19:06] thanks [19:06] a1fa_: np [19:10] does not appear myth is finding my newly added mp3 folders after the scan [19:10] the scan should scan recursively in the set music storage folder no? [19:10] is there a level at which it does not? [19:15] well it says the 100 files are already in the database [19:43] Hi does someone know an howto to change your weather sources for mythweather? [21:01] Hi does someone know an howto to change your weather sources for mythweather? [21:16] versus: afair, it's in the config options from the main menu in myth frontend [21:29] hello when i try to start "watch video" nothing happens there isnt anny error msg so i can google on, can annyone please point me in the right directtion ? i can watch video's but then i have to exit mythtv and i dont want that [21:37] piglit, you make sure the videos storage directory is accessable by mythtv? is it setup correctly in the frontend? [21:40] keescook do you remember the direct path? [21:41] piglit: you can try switching from the internal player if its crashing, see wiki.mythtv.org [21:41] versus: sorry, don't remember :( [21:44] keescook Id like to tell mythweather to look for weather inforamtions at www.wetter.de instead of www.weather.com do the sources change that? [21:50] versus: oh! that part I don't know. I thought you wanted to move the location it was looking up. [21:53] found the logfile my mistake sorry [22:02] keescook no problem thanks for trying [22:03] versus, if you have alittle programming skill you can add it to the sources code in the source for mythweather without too much pain [22:14] foxxbuntu if its all about editing a config file I can do it else Ill probablz have a problem [22:18] versus, no its contained in one of the code files [22:18] versus, its been awhile since I have looked at it though [22:18] I added 100mp3s to the mythmusic database. The frontend sees them, but mythweb is playing dumb? [22:19] im using mythbuntu 8.04 beta it seems some things have changed since feisty [22:20] versus, one big thing... Its the latest and greatest MythTV 0.21 [22:20] Tuv0k, check out the FAQs in the troubleshooting Wiki for mythweb symlinks [22:21] I already did [22:21] my symlinks are proper [22:21] strange... [22:21] it seems to have a problem with a particular set of files, or directory [22:21] sorry that was my quick 2 cents...I have to run now [22:21] be back later though [22:22] my symlinks were broken once, but I fixed that [22:22] k [22:48] Hi I just found this: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythWeather#Sources may this help me to get better weather informations for germany? [22:50] versus: you may be able to use the info from BBC weather centre to get info from geramny [22:50] germany [22:52] majoridiot this sounds like the infos from BBC weather centre are already integrated into the mythweeather plugin, right? [22:53] versus: look in /usr//share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/ for the two scripts bbccurrentxml.pl and BBCLocation.pm bbcthreedayxml.pl [22:53] those should be the ones you need [22:53] if you have them, then you should be able to set it up. [22:54] versus: you probably want to look @ the README in that directory for more info on the scripts [23:01] majoridiot I found both scripts and I can get some informations for Berlin for example but this is about 250km away I read the README but, to be honest. I dont unterstand it [23:06] maybe the mime types on the files added are borked? [23:06] One cd it added no problem [23:06] the other 4, mythweb won't see [23:13] I think its the weird file names [23:13] special characters [23:32] how can I re-configure MySQL so that it is accessible to other systems on my network [23:39] gn8 [23:41] Hey [23:41] can anyone gimme a hand setting up a proxy?
