[01:06] hi, anyone know why dbus-daemon & dbus-launch keep holding my dvb dvr0 node open? [01:16] <|DuReX|> how do I configure channels to watch in MythTV ? :s [01:21] |DuReX|: run the setup tool [01:21] ie mythtv-setup [01:22] it can scan your channels and so on [01:27] <|DuReX|> scan is greyed out :( [01:48] nfs (5) - nfs and nfs4 fstab format and options [01:48] [mythbuntu 11:18] ~ >man 5 nfs [01:48] No manual entry for nfs in section 5 [01:48] wtf? [01:58] has any of you managed to get HD-TV decoders to work properly? [01:59] and by decoder i mean tuner [01:59] famicom, like which tuners? [01:59] my pcHDTV-5500 worked fine when I had it hooked up [02:01] i got a kncone dvb-c tuner [02:01] drivers et all work just fine, however playback is slow as hell [02:02] actually [02:02] it tends to segfault mythtv [02:14] famicom: mess with the playback profiles [02:14] by default they eat a lot more cpu on 0.21 than they did on 0.20.2, you are running 0.21 now right? [02:16] yeah [02:16] actually [02:16] i did setup a new profile [02:16] but it still messes with my stuff [02:16] i got a sempron le 1300 with 2 gb ram [02:16] segfaulting could be you using somethign your system doesn't have [02:17] as well as a 630nforce/geforce 7050 [02:17] check the logs, run frontend from a terminal to see what it spits out? [02:17] what kind of GHZ does that have? [02:18] 2.3 [02:18] AMD Sempron LE-1300 Energy Efficient 2.3 GHz [02:18] 32 bit? [02:18] 64 i think [02:19] uname -r [02:19] no i run a 32bit distro [02:19] well.... On my athlon 1900+ I could only do HD if I forced XvMC, got rid of menu transitions and made sure it didn't do anything else while playing bach HD [02:20] how old is that proc rhpot1992 [02:23] few years [02:26] rhpot1992 well then [02:26] thats odd [02:27] what gfx card did you use [02:28] is it possible to get compiz fusion on mythbuntu? [02:28] i installed it, but it didnt work [02:28] http://pastebin.org/27492 [02:29] oh [02:30] install the compiz themes [02:30] go read up on the ubuntu forums [02:30] this isnt mythbuntu related [02:30] i heard it was [02:30] who told you that [02:31] someone from #compiz-fusion [02:31] oh [02:31] well whoever that was, was an idiot [02:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585252 [02:32] how about before that, Checking for Xgl: not present. [02:33] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611877 [02:33] the rest you can google [02:33] i'm not here to do your homework for you [04:33] Someone clue me in on how to change the default port for MythTV's database connection? [04:52] no idea. It connects on the default MySQL port. You could change the MySQL port, but I don't see where to adjust Mythbuntu. [04:52] troy_s: ^^^^ [05:27] so i upgraded to mythtv .21 - my video card requires nvidia-glx-legacy and i think mythtv crashes using it [05:27] how do i downgrade back [05:34] ah nice it was fixed in a later package it seems.. gonna have to try it out [07:10] hello [07:10] anyone seen that new HD PVR yet? [07:11] no [07:13] http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32027 [07:13] 'm trying to understand how its used [07:14] http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/hd_pvr.html [07:15] and why its such a big deal [07:21] can anyone recommend a small and quiet pc to run mythtv? [07:27] Bog_, it "will" be a big deal if there is linux support for it [07:27] which rumor has it there will be [07:27] ok [07:27] but what is the device used for exactly? [07:27] its not a tv tuner [07:28] you hook up a STB to it [07:28] and it will convert hidef stuff to x264 [07:28] and spit it out usb [07:29] ok [07:29] still dont know why that is such a big deal [07:29] I suppose that offloads CPU [07:29] well say you've got DISH networks [07:29] there is no way to capture hidef [07:29] other than this [07:30] I get it [07:30] or even a cable company [07:30] that locks down your firewire port [07:30] I suppose from a blueray player too [07:30] well bluray won't output full res to component [07:30] ok [07:30] but I think I'm getting it [07:30] you need HDMI/HDCP [07:31] but it will be pretty much the holy grail of capture toys [07:31] well... back to my second Q... I've been wanting to buy or build a PVR [07:31] i'm not one to recommend hardware much [07:32] its the holy grail because it captures on component and thats what satelite can output? [07:32] the guys in the morning (central time or so) are better to talk to [07:32] Bog_, it's the holy grail because it captures hidef that normally can't be done due to encryption [07:32] yep, got it... no need for cable card [07:33] exactly [07:33] is there an hd tuner that supports cable card? [07:34] there is one for windows made by AMD [07:34] other than that i dont believe so [07:34] I'm considering getting a pvr but in the past year I've been more into downloading content [07:36] well whatever works for you :) [07:36] what is your media setup? [07:37] pvr-500, air2pc hd5000, hdhome run (2xHD tuners) [07:37] and i'm adding a STB w/ firewire [07:38] what do you use it all for? [07:38] it just records and plays content? [07:39] what STB are you adding? [07:40] i'm adding a scientific atlanta 4250hdc [07:40] just got it today [07:40] it records all my content yes [07:40] but the hdhome run, what source does it get content from? [07:40] and then if i ever miss something for a channel i dont get or something i just download it and put it in dump folder to watch [07:40] my cable [07:41] excuse me, but sup, you would not have nay idea why mythtv-status would need to be restarted every now and then to be keep accurate? [07:41] how does it handle encrypted channels? [07:41] it's only updated every 10 minutes [07:41] Bog_, that's just it, it "doesnt" [07:41] I don't have a error or rhyme or reason to help with your analysis, sorry:( [07:41] hence the awesomeness factor of that hauppauge toy [07:41] super: how many encrypted and non encrypted channels are there? [07:42] Bog_, for me i get about 8 digital channel unencrypted, there are a lot of encrypted ones thoug [07:42] :( [07:42] that's why i'm hoping to ge tmore via this stb on fireiwre [07:42] darthanubis, it only updates on a cron job [07:42] I'm worried Apple is going to mave DRMed TV and movies cool [07:42] make [07:42] i hope not [07:43] superm1_, thanks, I'll look into it closer [07:43] they did for music [07:43] your the man [07:43] and are now the #1 music reatailer [07:43] ahead of Walmart [07:44] superm1_, I reccomend your IRC exit tag be "Up Up and away" ;) [07:44] that'd be.....supreme [07:44] haha [07:44] ha [07:45] I'm designing a network for my media in my new loft [07:46] I've decided to centralize all my equipment in a closet and distribute to all my TVs [07:47] I'm undecided tune/capture devices yet [07:47] Bog_, what fun! [07:47] I think I might include an Apple TV near each TV or I can centralize one of these [07:48] yeah, been a big project for me [07:48] the condo will be done this summer [07:48] I'm hidding speakers in the ceiling and wall too [07:49] nice [07:49] I hate seeing cables [07:49] mythtv has apple streaming [07:49] totally [07:49] what do you mean it has appletv streaming? [07:49] I'm setting up zoneminder security systems [07:49] I'm sorry [07:50] apple trailers [07:50] ahhh [07:50] not actual full length movies [07:50] I love atv as an extender and media playback device [07:50] I dont think anything compares [07:51] it's quiet, small and looks uber sexy [08:39] Any suggestions why myth isn't saving the frequency data properly? [08:39] I get the channel list but it keeps saying it can't tune to 0Hz (unsurprisingly :) [09:34] <|DuReX|> I have a channels.conf [09:35] <|DuReX|> how do I get it in mythtv ? :s [09:35] backend setup [09:35] <|DuReX|> cause scan for channel seems to be unavailible in mythtv :s [09:35] video sources [09:35] and then add channel.conf [09:36] <|DuReX|> don't see how u can add channels.conf there :( [09:48] <|DuReX|> 'Scan channel' is just not availible :( [09:48] <|DuReX|> its grey [09:48] <|DuReX|> can't click [09:48] <|DuReX|> any id ? [10:12] <|DuReX|> mm [10:12] <|DuReX|> got channels imported now :p [10:14] <|DuReX|> but can't view channel yet [10:14] <|DuReX|> gives me NO-LOCK ... :s [12:39] hi there [12:39] i cant access to the mythbuntu webfronted,there says, no backend found [12:40] is default setup [12:44] is it safe to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 by replacing "gutsy" with "hardy" in sources.lst and running apt-get dist-upgrade? [12:45] Seeker`: hardy is currently not stable [12:45] Silicium: I know it isn't stable [12:46] ok :) [12:46] Silicium: I am running hardy on another box too [12:46] iam develop a pbx on hardy :) [12:46] Silicium: I was wondering if mythtv could cope with upgrading like that [12:47] how can I play a dvd directory (with video_ts and such) with mythvideo? [12:47] so, upgrading is a nice feature but i think is better you reinstall the system [12:47] I dont have my recordings on a seperate partition [12:47] ok so, if you dont have done any self installed packages it coult be works ;) [12:47] oh [14:47] hello! anyone else having trouble retriving info from schedulesdirect? [14:47] I just signed up as part of an initial myth install, and it's failing to retrieve anything from their server (webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com) [14:48] common problem? ring any bells? [14:58] hello! [15:00] hyey guys [15:00] I am trying to install 8.04 [15:00] it askes for admin pasword [15:00] any idea what it is ? [15:07] anyone know what the admin password is for 8.04 beta to install it ? [15:08] so [15:08] when using HDhomerun to watch liveTV, there is a thin row of scrambled noise at the top.. is this common? [15:10] installing from cd or apt-get/update manager ? [15:10] cd [15:10] downloaded iso today [15:11] you pick your own password, then once installed do admin functions through sudo. [15:11] i thought so too [15:12] when i enetr a password is says invalid [15:14] what you picked outside "acceptable characters" ?? [15:14] .. just a guess .. [15:15] hmm wierd [15:19] nope still not working - very weird [15:31] is there a way to setup the program guide info so that it is not so slow in the menu? [15:31] I don't know, sorry. Mine asked for username (twice) then pwd and went right through. [15:33] ok let me try that [15:45] i choose keymap at install screen - chnage from "us" to "uk" [15:45] the instaler fired up , but froze [15:45] will investigate further [16:05] can nyone suggest a small and quiet pc for using myth? [16:08] Guys, I put mythbuntu on my usb stick, it boot and I can log in but I get stuck with no desktop and just a cursor. [16:08] This is on a laptop... [16:09] are there any myth STBs? [16:47] anyone know of a good location to pick up a spdif optical header bracket? [17:43] When I check the backend status in the frontend I get Tuner 3 is unavailable (/dev/video0) [17:43] what could cause this? [18:52] <^Willie^> morning [18:52] morning [18:54] <^Willie^> is any of you using mythtv with dvb-c or dvb-t cards ? [18:55] nope [18:55] <^Willie^> :S [18:55] <^Willie^> atleast an tv tuner ? [18:55] Yeah, but I'm not (back) up and running yet. [18:57] <^Willie^> here in holland i have 3 options for watching tv via an media pc.. satalite, cable, dvb-t [18:57] I use a cable tuner card [18:57] <^Willie^> atm i/we have an dvb-c decoder from the cable profider but the do now wana give a second card or i must pay 2 bill`s each month :( [18:58] <^Willie^> and i do like to watch "all" tv channels in the bedroom and living room .. thats why i wana use mythtv [18:58] I thought dvb-t was cable... googling.. oh, it's broadcast over-the-air. [18:58] <^Willie^> dvb-t is what the call digitenne in holland :) [18:59] <^Willie^> anyway i`m not planning to pay an second bill .. [18:59] So are there dvb-c cards for computers? [18:59] <^Willie^> jup [19:00] <^Willie^> look at twinhan and pinacle cards [19:00] <^Willie^> something else .. i can use mythtv as media player for mp3`s and stuff like that ? [19:00] yes [19:01] <^Willie^> can it controll dvd burners :) [19:01] <^Willie^> then i`ll be happy even without tv for the first 2 months :) [19:03] Yeah, there is a plugin or two for that, but I haven't gotten that far. :( [19:04] Anyone know if you have to create profiles for both ubuntu forums and launchpad, or will the same profile work across both? [19:04] <^Willie^> p2 2,4ghz 512mb ram with 160gb disk will be ok i guess .. [19:05] <^Willie^> extra storage will be nfs/samba [19:06] yep [19:07] dcnoderunner, you need an account for both......well, you may be able to use openid [19:08] They're using openid!? That would be a good thing.. [19:11] dcnoderunner, IIRC, launchpad beta testers can use openid [19:11] not sure about the forums [19:41] running the hardy version of mythbuntu what is the proper way to delete files in the video folder? [19:42] Not sure what's "proper", but deleting through MythWeb works. [19:43] would deleting thru ssh be ok? [19:46] sure [19:46] Yes, but I don't know what command. You could remove the file, but would the mysql db 'know' it's been deleted? I just delete via mythweb so I know the rest of myth 'knows' it's deleted. [19:49] ok i just find doing things is alot easier thru a terminal [19:51] lime4x4: if you're talking about the 'videos' directory and not the 'recordings' directory, I manipulate it all the time without touching the database. mythvideo rescans the directory when you go into the video manager. If you're asking about the 'recordings' directory, I don't know, but I wish mythtv had more command-line tools. Maybe they exist and I am just not aware of them. [19:52] dcnoderunner, how can you delete videos through mythweb? [19:53] sorry, I guess I meant "recordings". videos equaled recordings in my brain. [19:56] can anyone help me setup a raid0 array? [19:56] i have already set it up with the onboard controller, i just cant get to mount (i think) [19:57] i'm talking about the video folder [19:58] lime4x4, yea you can delete them from the command line, then just rerun the video manager [19:59] well video, you can do anyway you want. so could recordings, but you'd have to delete something in the db. all can be done from cli, but mucking around in the db is more that I want to do often. [19:59] ahave, is it a hardware or software raid controller? [19:59] video, delete from ssh sure, and rescan collection [19:59] recordings, mythweb is my preference [19:59] ok thanks [20:00] lime4x4: sorry [20:00] hello again tgm4883_laptop [20:00] i believe this would be hardware, being that my motherboard will be doing the work [20:01] what motherboard? [20:02] biostar 7050 [20:02] sorry for what? [20:04] leading you the other way when I thought you meant recordings. [20:05] no problem.. [20:05] !fakeraid [20:05] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:06] thanks [20:06] so this would be a hardware raid, correct? [20:07] ahave, actually, it's not really hardware raid [20:07] as the OS will be the one that is doing the work [20:07] oh [20:07] ah, yes. ok [20:07] what are the drives showing up as right now? [20:08] idk how to check [20:08] gutsy or hardy? [20:08] 7.10 [20:08] gutsy [20:09] k [20:09] .20.2? [20:09] idk. how can i check? [20:10] sorry, what version of mythtv? [20:11] .20 i think. but how can i check to be sure? [20:13] apt-cache show mythtv | grep Version [20:13] .21.0 is the highest i see [20:14] k [20:14] so you really don't even need raid0 [20:14] hmm. why do you say that? [20:14] storage groups [20:15] ahave, unless you wanted a raid mirror [20:15] which isn't raid0 [20:17] wouldnt raid0 be faster? [20:20] ahave, well since it's not really raid [20:24] hmm [20:25] i guess i will remove the raid then [20:26] another thing to remember with raid0, is that IIRC, if you lose one drive you lose everything (on all drives in the array) [20:27] yup [20:28] i think i will just use single drives then [20:28] i am not needing any mirroring of data [20:30] if i am wanting to share the data with a windows system, whay file system type would you recomend? [20:30] fat32? [20:32] for your recordings [20:34] for recordings, music, .iso, etc all my media [20:38] use XFS [20:38] then use samba to share with the windows systems [20:39] what if i want to access it on a dual boot? [20:48] is it just me [20:48] or has a new ubuntu release just come out [20:53] US mirros still list 8.04 as beta [21:03] dcnoderunner, 8.04 is still beta [21:03] ahave, then you would need something like fat32 or ntfs [21:03] famicom, 8.04 comes out 4-24-08 [21:04] tgm4883_laptop, ok. thanks. how much of a performance drop will there be by not using XFS? [21:06] ahave, well the real issue that you will have is the file size limitation of fat32 [21:07] i'm not sure about the performance difference between the 3 [21:07] ah, but what if i use ntfs? [21:07] are there any filesize limitations? [21:08] yea, but you probably won't reach them [21:08] ok [21:08] ubuntu should auto mount any ntfs partitions if finds, correct?/ [21:08] i can not seem to find my newly partitioned ntfs hard drives [21:09] hmm [21:09] i'm not sure it does in gutsy [21:09] sec [21:09] it should be under /media right? [21:10] "Ubuntu 7.10 comes with an NTFS driver and mounts NTFS partitions by default." [21:11] hmm, yea it should automount it then in /media [21:11] i do not see a sda1 or sda2 [21:11] only cdrom cdrom0 hda1 [21:12] hda1 is my windows boot partition [21:12] k [21:13] let me know if you have any ideas [21:26] DIL, i can not see them under /media [21:27] DIL, I can see other NTFS drives however [21:27] DIL, and gparted was able to see them (which is how i partitioned them) [21:28] err, sorry [21:41] can I have mythtv transcode digital tv signals to something with a lower bit rate real time for live tv? [21:45] is there any reason why i can not access SATA drives in mythbuntu? === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 [21:54] ahave proably there is, but sata works for me [22:18] Kevin`, for what? A lower power frontend? [22:18] has anybody compiled mythtv for ubuntu? [22:18] tgm4883_laptop it's too high bandwidth for (my) wireless [22:18] SoulBlade yes. [22:19] Kevin`, AFAIK, not for live tv [22:19] im having some issues [22:19] you may be able to do it for recorded though [22:19] my error is in httprequest.cpp - BufferedSocketDevice has no member SocketDevice [22:19] it works fine for recorded [22:19] SoulBlade, is there any specific reason you are compiling from source? [22:19] there are issues regarding QString as well [22:19] yes - i need the .21 fixes release because .21 broke support for nvidia-glx-legacy [22:20] i could just downgrade, but i figured this would be a decent exercise being a bit of a linux newb [22:20] SoulBlade, are you on gutsy? [22:20] i installed mythbuntu initially - is that gutsy [22:21] thats another thing - i have no idea what gutsy, edgy, or hardy is [22:21] it's the codename for the release [22:21] ie, hardy is 8.04, gutsy is 7.10 [22:21] ah ok [22:21] gutsy [22:22] well gutsy is what i installed - though i installed a bunch of software updates - not sure if that moved me up to hardy [22:22] Hey, does anybody have a video stream they know work with FREEBOX IPTV, just so I can test if its my source or HTPC cousing the problems? [22:22] SoulBlade, there will be another backport from .21-fixes, but not until hardy is finished (apr 24, 2008) [22:22] ok - whats the easiest way for me to just downgrade back to .2 [22:22] .20 [22:37] How can I reset Apport's 'don't pop up when xyz app crashes anymore' so that it does pop up? [22:38] any chance gutsy does not support sata2? [22:39] why is it that when i tell the synaptics package manager to force version to .20.2 on mythtv-frontend it flashes 20.2 and then reverts back to .21 before i can install it?
