[00:00] I'm not sure whats wrong with my Mythubuntu 8, but it seems that lirc is configure in a 'funny' way. I'm using the IR remote with my Hauppauge Nova T 500; I can use the arrow keys and number keys on the remote, but all other keys is not working. If I just showkeys, I see normal keycodes as if its a normal keyboard keys, but if I try to define the keys inside mythtv, such as trying to bind escape with my back/ [00:00] exit key, MythTV tells me that its an unknown key. I've tried to debug using mode2 and irw, but no codes are displayed when I press any key on my remote. [00:03] it's probably handled by something inside the kernel.. seach the mythbuntu forums, you'll likely need the dev/input driver [00:10] laga: I'm using the devinput driver, but I've also tried the default driver [00:54] sigh... my 1080i channels are all green.... anyone seen that before? [01:39] woot! got spdif working for livetv and videos! :D [01:53] TazgodX, if you get things working well, i'd be interested to hear details [01:53] it's available in my area [01:56] im waiting for the new release before i install again [01:56] my old mythbox took a dive [01:56] the rc came out today :) [01:56] really [01:56] ? [01:56] guess ill just use that [01:56] :) [01:57] http://www.mythbuntu.org/hardyrc [01:58] im gonna have to go thru the STB, so now that my box has 3 TV inputs...none of that matters eh? [01:58] well yout STB, what outputs does it have ? [01:58] firewire by chance? [01:58] HDMI, compsite, S-Video, RCA [01:58] oh i see [01:58] well then you'll have to be capturing the s-video [01:58] hjold on, let me see if there is firewire [01:59] if it does (and it works), then you better believe i'm switching to AT&T [01:59] it has USB. but no firewire [01:59] oh boo.. [02:00] yeah it has coax out too [02:00] no component output though? [02:00] thats the red blue green right [02:00] yeah it has that [02:01] it gets its signal from an ethernet jack [02:03] hmmm, visually it has changed from when i was last here [02:03] finally don't have to mess with LVMs [02:03] :) [02:04] yeah there's been a fair deal of work on artwrok [02:04] i wonder if ATT falls under the FCC mandate for firewire [02:04] if they do, then maybe it's feasible to get a box with one [02:05] hold on, let me look at the DVR box downstairs [02:05] see if it has one [02:05] but its good that they have component. when the Hauppauge HD-PVR comes out then can use that [02:06] i have a PVR 500 and 350...both garbage now [02:06] specially the 500 [02:06] lol [02:07] why is it garbage? [02:07] well i can't get 3 video streams coming out [02:07] just hook up more STB's [02:07] of this box [02:07] lol [02:07] that's a good point though, my HD home run and HD5000 would be pointless [02:08] i mean i can use my 350, but the 500 is useless to me now [02:08] yeah [02:08] when is the HD-PVR coming out? [02:08] well dont you get like 4 STB's with the plan? [02:08] 3 [02:08] i have 6 [02:08] lol [02:08] at least when i was investigating, they provided an inordinantly large amount [02:08] damn dude [02:08] so go hook more up to myth [02:09] pdragon, next month [02:09] they are all on other TVs [02:09] those tv's should be running myth ;) [02:09] ill tell you what, the service of this cable is great [02:10] im just disapointed i can't use my mythbox with it like i could normal cable [02:10] cool [02:10] i want to set up a few more PCs for myth frontends, but can't afford it [02:10] no mentions on linux support though yet pdragon [02:10] er no official mentions [02:11] TazgodX, well with 8.04.... [02:11] diskless frontends [02:11] less expensive [02:11] what exactly does that mean. i saw that a little bit ago [02:11] no HDD? [02:11] cause i ahve a PC sitting around with no HDD :) [02:12] superm1: any idea if a fix is being put in for https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/210852 [02:12] got a nice new high end sound card and still having it happen [02:13] TazgodX, yup [02:13] pdragon, if you knew of a solution i'd be glad to put it in [02:13] i've not seen anything though [02:14] hmmm [02:14] fox's post mentioned something in the directtv.pl script being modified [02:14] and it boots off the network then? [02:14] yup [02:14] i'm not sure how to go about modifying it tho [02:14] get the backend set up and then you can play with the diskless stuff [02:14] so i would need a mobo that supports booting off the network [02:14] TazgodX, nope [02:14] you can copy the kernel and initrd to a flash drive and boot that on the flash drive and then chainload to the network [02:15] really...now im confused and intriqued [02:15] TazgodX, or you can do network booting [02:15] yeah laga started some docs on it, but they aren't fully done [02:15] imma play with that later [02:15] right now im trying to plan out how i want this ran [02:15] get your machine up and running and then can get you pointed at those docs (and hopefully you can help improve them) [02:16] they ran cat5 throughout my house for these boxes, so my whole house it networked :) [02:16] yeah, i finally got a nice backend machine set up [02:16] maybe ill move some boxes around and get 2 in this room [02:17] TazgodX, yeah if you can prove that it works well, then you'd be set :) [02:18] burnign the disk now [02:18] i'll be moving into a house later this year. will be getting cable drops put in all rooms probably :) [02:18] cat 5 cable [02:18] i really wanted to wire my house with cat5...then they came along and did it free :) [02:19] all running to a router downstairs... [02:20] i actually ran 1 wire from where they have it coming from to my room...and then pluggin into a switch. instead of just useing that wire they ran another one along side it...not exactly smart [02:21] i'd wonder too if the native iptv recorder in myth can use uverse.... [02:21] that would be way too awesome though [02:21] i was trying to read up on that [02:21] didn't find much on it tho [02:21] what's that? [02:22] myth has a native iptv recorder [02:22] that can work with unencrypted streams [02:22] i dont know if those streams are encrypted, but odds are you will need to run wireshark on your network [02:22] to find out what url and what protocol is used [02:22] to figure out if the native iptv recorder really will wrok [02:22] work even [02:23] wireshark? [02:23] yeah [02:23] used to be known as ethereal [02:23] ok, tell ya what. let me get this box loaded. and me and you can screw around with all that :) [02:23] if i had time for such random screwing arounds, i'd probably already have uverse :) [02:24] haha [02:24] but once release is out yeah i should be able to sit down an evening [02:24] and try to walk you through how to look into it [02:41] hi, i was trying to figure out why my hauppauge pvr-150 remote doesnt work last week end, with the help of superm1, and we did not find out. We left it as I was going to try the card in a winblows system to veryfy the hardware. I did that, and everything works good in windows, so hw is good. Can we pick up from there... anybody could help me? [02:45] hmmm, superm1 error on install can't format disk... not a good start for me LOL [02:45] TazgodX, you did the live disk right? [02:46] yeah, i did Desktop/Live Disk [02:47] weird.... [02:47] well try formating it before hand? [02:47] any problems with sata? [02:47] that's the same version of the installer shipping with normal ubuntu 8.04... [02:47] hmmm [02:47] so there shouldnt be anything wrong with it [02:47] ok, guess ill format first and try this again. [02:47] anything special with the mythbuntu install partitions? [02:48] that's really bzr though [02:48] no there isn't [02:49] superm1: can we pick up where we left off last weekend in my troubleshooting? [02:50] frank23, sorry i'm on my way out right now [02:50] ok np [02:50] if someone else in here can help out hopefully [02:50] ok [02:50] otherwise i'll be around tomorrow at some point [02:50] thx [02:53] so superm1, it makes one big ext3 partition and a swap partition? [02:53] imma make a 10GB ext3 partition and a swap aprtition and a XFS partition for the rest, anywhere special i should mount the XFS? [02:56] /var/lib still where everything is? [03:00] by default i believe so [03:00] you can change it to wherever you want [03:00] moved mine to /opt/mythtv [03:02] so, you can make the xfs partition and set the mount point at a later time [03:15] ubuntu sees my hauppauge wintv go card has a sound device that is listed as booktree bt878 but I cannot get any sound from this card [03:16] how do I configure it? === talaren is now known as pteague_laptop === aliby2 is now known as aliby [04:10] so if I pause a stream asx via the web, while ffmpeg is transdoing it, and happen to pause the viewing, ffmpeg just decides not to continue transcoding the rest of the video, so I can continue to watch the remaining of the show? [04:10] Does anyone stream video via the web from their myth box here? [04:16] yes sometimes [04:30] I'm having a less than desirable experience using mythweb to watch streams. [04:31] I would like to have myth take my 2gb hr shows from my pvr150, and transcode them into 350mb hour shows so I could easily just download the whole show. If I could have it edit the commercials out thats be ideal. [04:31] Can this be done? [04:32] I attempted this with nuvexport, because it was supposed to read the cutlist from a .nuv file and then transcode the video into a human readable file format [04:32] but it transcoded the file to the right size, but a bogus file name [04:43] so which is used mythexport or nuvexport? [04:49] Hello quiet channel, I have a question for thee [04:49] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7471/ [04:50] have a dvico-nano+ usb tuner that has been installed using the guide here - (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DViCO_Dual_Digital_4) [04:50] shows up correctly when I run 'lsusb' [04:50] but when I try to test or scan with it I get the error "Error(2): /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0: No such file or directory" [04:51] running mythbuntu 7.10 [04:51] any sugestions? [04:51] do ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter0 [04:51] is there anything listed there? [04:51] Nope [04:52] no such file or direc. [04:52] That path seems akward [04:52] * aliby shrugs [04:54] doing a 'locate adapter0' I find a "/dev/.static/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0" [04:55] hmm, will keep looking then. [04:55] and post any sucesses here for future ref. [05:17] also just noticed it hasn't loaded any of the dvb modules with modprobe either. [07:04] Krusher00: You'll need to load modules for that hardware [07:04] that's why your DVB nodes aren't being created [07:07] ffmpeg is not transcoding the whole hour show to stream via mythweb [08:42] Ribs: any idea which modules I should be loading? (For a DViCO nano) [08:46] ermm# [08:46] no [08:46] you'll need dvb_core for sure [08:46] I needed dvb_bt8xx for my pci card [08:46] just that it's not loading any in /etc/modules by default and I've got nfi which to choose.. [08:46] ok, i'll poke around some more and see what I can find [08:46] thanks thou [08:46] do "locate dvb" [08:46] I wasn't sure if that was my problem or not [08:46] that'll throw up a shed load of modules [08:46] dmesg is also helpfull [08:47] I found that Ubuntu only recently found the hardware without me helping it [08:47] 7.10 seemed to improve the dvb side of things [08:47] anyway, I have to go now [08:47] good luck [08:47] thanks heaps [09:12] just tried loading all the dvb-* modules and running scan, still getting the "Error(2): /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0: No such file or directory" [09:12] and I can confirm theres nothing there under /dev/dvb === Krusher00_ is now known as Krusher00 [11:59] <|DuReX|> hello, whats best to use, ATI open source driver ? the restricted in ubuntu repo's or the one @ www.ati.com ?

[13:50] !ask [13:50] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [13:50] ah ok [13:52] i want to install it but it stops and hang after running local boot scripts(/etc/rc.lokal) [ok] [13:53] cd usr [13:56] MythbuntuGuest44: have you tried the 8.04 release candidate? [13:59] no i didn try that [13:59] is it nearly stable? [13:59] so i can use it after installing? [14:00] yes [14:00] final release will be in one week approximately, so it'd better work :) [14:00] RC = Release client, and the new version of ubuntu is coming out in the next couple of days anyway.. so you'd expect it to be pretty close to stable ;-) [14:00] Krusher00: s/client/candidate/ :) [14:00] yeah [14:00] what he said :-D [14:01] oh ok [14:01] can i upgrade the rc4 to the final or do i have to install it new [14:02] if you're having problems booting on that one straight after the install, I'd say you'd be better off starting afresh. [14:02] no, im not able to install 7.10 [14:02] he breaks while installing [14:03] oh sorry I see what you mean [14:03] i tried it with safe vga mode [14:03] and with normal mode [14:03] but nothing changed [14:03] but he hangs while starting lirc deamon [14:05] and im not able to download the 8.04 version, url not found. with x86 and x64 both the same [14:05] where in the world are you located? [14:05] germany [14:06] got a torrent client? the torrent link has a number of seeders [14:07] theres some other mirrors listed at distrowatch too: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mythbuntu [14:09] <|DuReX|> MythbuntuGuest44 [14:09] <|DuReX|> just try few times :) [14:09] <|DuReX|> and suddenly u will get working mirror :) [14:10] ok thanks :-) [14:10] sorry had to go to the toilett :-9 [14:10] <|DuReX|> http://germany.cdimages.mythbuntu.org/ [14:10] <|DuReX|> or just check here :) [14:10] .. uh thanks for letting us know .. i think. [14:10] <|DuReX|> just renamed files it seems :p [14:10] :-P [14:11] *gg* [14:12] ok its loading :-) [14:21] one question :-) [14:22] is mythbuntu able to connect to an windows share on a win server 2003 to play multimediafiles stored on the servers disk? [14:22] sorry im a linux no=b [14:22] no0b [14:22] yes, should be possible [14:22] thanks for all infos :-) [14:33] MythbuntuGuest44: for your information this can be done back the other way too, you can setup samba to allow windows computers to access the files on your media server. [14:33] ok [14:33] but my htpc has only a very small hdd :-) [14:33] 80gb [14:33] and the fileserver has 1tb :-) [14:34] I have 3tb and it's still full :-( [14:34] hehe [14:34] 3 tb raid 5 or 3 single hdds? [14:35] 2 x 500gb, 2 x 1tb [14:35] ah ok [14:36] is mythbuntu a complete replacement für windows mce? [14:36] it should be easy to use [14:37] it's an alternative [14:37] the frontend is similar, and easy to navigate but I wouldn't put it as a replacement.. myth does a lot of things windows can't/doesn't :-) [14:38] oh ok [14:38] i only want to be able to play my dokumentations from the webserver on my tv in my living room :-) [14:38] and my girlfriend should to be able to play her mp3s in the living room [14:39] so it only has to be easy to use :-9 [14:39] sorry about my bad english :-/ [14:39] yeah should be relatively easy for you then, most of the issues that people have are getting tv tuner cards working with the right firmware etc. [14:39] your english is great! [14:40] my last english lesson was 7 years ago [14:40] but my linux skills are much lower :-) [14:40] my last german lesson was from google translator ;-) [14:40] hehe ok [14:41] nobody needs german :-) [14:41] im installing 8.04 at this time [14:41] it should work [14:42] oh [14:42] he is asking me for installing additional software [14:42] mail openssh and lamp i doesnt need at this time [14:42] what are mythbuntu additional rules? [14:42] correct [14:42] frontend i need [14:42] and what about master and slave backend? [14:43] install master backend [14:43] unless you plan on setting up the main part on another server [14:43] ahhh ok [14:43] and addtitional ruiles? [14:44] umm, I don't know :-? [14:44] hehe ok [14:44] perhaps wait for laga, he should be able to answer [14:44] so a have to left it empty :-) [14:44] do u use mythbuntu? [14:44] yes [14:45] I was on her earlier today asking for some help myself ;-) [14:45] but i think your linuxskills are much better than mine [14:45] hehe ok :-) [14:46] I have a question for anyone who's about as well. Got a DVICO FusionHDTV Nano I'm trying to setup, got all the way through getting the usb device recognised; put the firmware in /lib/firmware/ and loaded what I believe are the correct modules, but can't get scan or dvdsnoop to work [14:47] still gives me a "main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory" [14:50] sorry im not able to help u :-/ [14:50] hehe thats ok, just feel free to help out someone else when you do know the answer ;-) [14:51] of course :-) [14:51] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7502/ - details in relation to my question [15:02] so [15:02] new problem [15:02] if i select master backend to install he have a failure [15:07] Krusher00: look at lsmod and at dmesg to see if there's anything related to the tuner [15:07] maybe you have to restart usb-hotplug or udev or something like that [15:08] but anytime you plug in a usb dev you should get something in dmesg [15:11] MythbuntuGuest44 did you try just doing the standard installation? [15:12] yes [15:12] but he asks me near the end to install additional software [15:12] oh that bit [15:12] so i choose mythbuntu frontend [15:12] and master backend [15:13] if i choose both he brakes [15:13] so you're talking about after it had installed on the drive an everything? [15:13] if i only choose frontend [15:13] he pass installation complete but he starts and then u hear a speaker signal and i habve a black screen and nothing happen [15:13] jumpkick: I've added the modules into /etc/modules so they load on startup, but other than the listing in lsusb, can't find anything showing that it has been added other than what was listed in the pastebin (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7502/) [15:14] i install it new at this time [15:14] now he installs the core system [15:14] hmm, I'm just installing 8.04 on a second box here as we speak (to see if it makes any difference to my tuner) so I'll see how it goes for me. [15:15] i install rc4 too [15:15] so now i have to type a username [15:15] and choose a proxy [15:15] no proxy [15:15] soooo [15:15] now i have to choose software to install [15:16] i choose master backend and frontend [15:16] right? [15:16] in german: installationsschritt fehlgeschlagen [15:16] install failed [15:17] it comes when i choose master backend [15:17] i tried master backend alone and he failes too [15:17] when i choose frontend only then he installs bit starts to a black screen [15:18] every time i choose master backend he brake [15:28] bullshit :-) [15:32] mine went through, only issue so far is that it didn't recognise the onboard graphics as well as it did last time :-) [15:32] MythbuntuGuest44: um [15:32] MythbuntuGuest44: what iso is that? there is no rc4 [15:32] mythbuntu-8.04-rc-alternate-amd64 [15:33] ah, you tried the alternate disk. ok. [15:33] MythbuntuGuest44: does it work if you choose "frontend"? [15:33] the installation work [15:33] end he sais that i have to reboot and start with mythbuntu [15:34] then he starts from hdd [15:34] the speaker does a beep [15:34] and i have only a black screen [15:34] nothing else [15:34] MythbuntuGuest44: what works? if you choose "frontend" in the task selector? [15:35] yes [15:35] if i choose only the point frontend in : choose software to install [15:35] then he runs the installation correctly [15:35] but dont boot correctly [15:36] the core he install complete [15:36] then he asks me for installing software [15:36] and i need master backend and frontend or not? [15:36] yeah, ok [15:37] MythbuntuGuest44: you can install the backend later on [15:37] MythbuntuGuest44: what happened before the black screen? [15:37] uh [15:37] im in the install screeen [15:37] he makes some lines from linux [15:37] he loads the kernel [15:38] then the speaker beeps and nothing else happen [15:38] so i only choose frontend this time and finish install first ok? [15:39] well, i thought you finished the install? [15:39] what did you do [15:39] i finished the install [15:39] then it doesnt work [15:39] and so i installed new [15:39] when? :) [15:39] and this new install is running at this time [15:39] :-) [15:40] are you talking abouz 7.10 or 8.04? [15:40] 8.04 [15:40] ah, you're currently installing myhbuntu 8.04 [15:40] mythbuntu-8.04-rc-alternate-amd64 [15:40] yes [15:40] so he would finish in a minute :-) [15:41] so he asks me for configure lirc [15:41] it's good that you caught this problem.. i'll have to try the amd64 iso [15:41] what i have to choose :-)? [15:41] MythbuntuGuest44: you can configure lirc later, just choose "none" now [15:41] ir transmitter too [15:41] ok [15:41] thats what i did wehen installing the first time [15:42] :-9 [15:42] now he is cleaning up [15:42] erm [15:43] he asks me to install grub bootloader [15:43] or lilo bootloader or without bootloader [15:43] whats the right one? [15:44] grub should work [15:44] install in the master boot record? [15:45]
