[00:10] hello [00:10] Can anyone tell me why some iso's will play out to my tv though pvr350 where as others will only play on my monitor? [02:02] hello [02:03] is there a package to install XMLTV ?? [02:03] !ask | baalsgate [02:03] baalsgate: 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. :-) [02:03] WTF ? [02:03] nm [02:04] ok [02:05] i need to install http://xmltv.org/wiki/ to run the new guide data grabber [02:05] but im having trouble finding the package [02:05] baalsgate, hardy or gutsy? [02:06] um 7.10 gusty ? [02:06] k [02:06] sec [02:06] I am having problems with my sound not playing after my wife accidentally turned off the mythbox without shutting it down. [02:06] dose apt-get have a search ? [02:07] I am running digital audio out [02:07] Lossif check dmesg ? [02:07] how? sorry, sort of a noob [02:08] learning this whole thing as I go [02:08] Lossif you may have a problem with the audio module , just guessing here [02:08] try alsamixer on a shell [02:09] i did that [02:09] and ? [02:09] and i normally just mute everything [02:09] and unmute it [02:09] after a reboot [02:09] and it normally fixes it [02:09] but not this time [02:10] baalsgate, you need 5.51? [02:10] tgm4883_laptop 5.51 of xmltv ? [02:11] baalsgate, yes, or rather 0.5.51 [02:11] tgm4883_laptop i dont know just following the requirements on http://web.aanet.com.au/auric/?q=node/14 [02:12] tgm4883_laptop it does not mention version [02:12] baalsgate, 0.5.49 is available in the gutsy repos [02:12] sudo apt-get install xmltv [02:12] i did try that [02:13] and it found nothing [02:13] do you have the universe enabled? [02:13] ok maybe i used caps [02:13] its looks like its good [02:14] xmltv is in the repos in universe [02:14] you can search here if you like http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [02:16] Hi: I'm getting really intense blurry color on my latest recordings. I don't think" I've changed any settings? [02:17] what should I check. This is only on the recordings I'm playing back on myth frontend. The monitor is not blurry or "hot" [02:19] Lossif check your dmesg for audio driver problems [02:21] Lossif maybe ask the guys in here if there is a way to check file imtegrity of your audio modules [02:22] is there a way to select all in nano? [02:22] files can be messed up with a non clean power down [02:37] baalsgate: that is what I was afraid of [02:38] I was thinking about just going with the 8.04 RC, If i installed it would it keep all of my existing movies and recordings? [03:00] I think I have everything set up properly but when I try to Watch TV, nothing happens. [03:00] Tried running mythfrontend --service but nothing gets printed. [03:00] The back-end recognized my PVR-350. [03:00] Can anyone suggest something for me to check? [03:00] bronson, anything in the logs? [03:01] nothing in syslog. Does myth have other logs? [03:02] /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [03:02] /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log [03:02] cool, looking [03:02] and you can also start mythfrontend from the command line and errors will be printed to the terminal [03:02] Hm, I did, but I didn't see any errors. [03:03] check the logs then [03:03] most specifically, the backend [03:03] Ya, nothing weird in frontend. [03:05] "Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video sources to your card's inputs?" [03:05] Probably! [03:06] Man it's tough to set up Myth. [03:06] well it's a lot easier than the early days [03:06] we can only do so much for you ;) [03:08] Hm... I ran Myth a few years ago. Doesn't seem very different to me! [03:08] But it's true that video hardware is just weird. [03:09] Not easy to autodetect and set up properly. [04:02] rhpot1991, you around? [04:05] my mythexport is not working from the job line [04:05] anyone have an idea as to why? [04:05] the dir permissions was fixed earlier [04:05] the job says completed bedore anything is done [04:06] http://pastebin.com/d7de6947c [04:22] Hi I'm having trouble with Mythbunutu changing the order of my tuner cards when it restarts [04:31] has mythtv changed mythbrowser at all? [04:32] allow plugins? === johnny99 is now known as johnny101 === johnny101 is now known as johnny199 [05:23] can anyone help me out with sasc? i know there's probably no help in the chan itself for that - but can someone pm me? [05:24] !ask [05:24] 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. :-) [05:24] !anyone [05:24] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:25] johnny199, no [05:25] darthanubis, that question won't be tolerated here [05:25] his question? [05:25] had know idea what he was asking [05:25] darthanubis, by that question, i'm refering to the question johnny199 posted, not your response [05:26] your response was good [05:26] oh [05:26] ;) [05:26] tgm4883_laptop, don't you know about nuvexport and mythexport? [05:26] is someone willing to pm to help me with compile problems with sasc please? Thanks [05:27] iirc you where keen on nuvexport? [05:27] johnny199, the answer was above [05:27] it was a negative [05:27] well that's a shame. [05:27] ha [05:27] johnny199, no, you will not receive sasc help from here. You know that. Don't ask again [05:28] that's why i asked for a pm - not channel help. [05:28] fucking retards. [05:28] * tgm4883_laptop sighs [05:29] sad [05:29] yep [05:29] it's like [05:29] I've never seen anyone get banned here [05:29] hey, will someone pm me. I need help hiding a body [05:29] lol [05:29] darthanubis, thats cause we ask people not to do something and they usually comply [05:30] http://pastebin.com/d7de6947c [05:31] http://pastebin.com/d1c3f1aea [05:31] darthanubis, is your disk full?

[06:29] me [06:29] anything new? [06:30] nope [06:30] the job still does not work [06:30] from cli it works perfectly [06:31] try to run the job cli instead of just the ffmpeg command [06:32] also when you ran the ffmpeg did you run that as mythtv? [06:32] yup [06:32] made sure to do that [06:33] can't run the job from cli because it expects to get the data from the database [06:33] I still think its permission problems, mainly cause its acting that way [06:33] mythexport exportdir=/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=320x240 aspect=4:3 audio_bitrate=192kb video_bitrate=600kb export_device=ipod export_codec=mpeg4 debug [06:33] but odd since you have verified mythtv can write in there [06:33] we took care of the permission issue [06:33] run that, but get a chanid and starttime to plug into it [06:33] and get rid of the debug [06:34] and by run I mean run it cli not from a user job [06:38] knew it was the job line that was failing [06:38] giving you anything better? [06:39] http://pastebin.com/d47fdf71 [06:39] an error [06:39] Tuv0k: try it on a different recording [06:39] ok [06:40] also make sure the recording exists and works [06:40] they do [06:40] should they be raw? [06:40] meaning non .nuv? [06:40] I haven't heard otherwise [06:40] I do mine raw [06:40] what are yours set as? [06:41] some are some aren't [06:41] that one was .nuv [06:41] I'll try a mpg [06:44] same error [06:45] I'll try the file that worked from the cli after the debug [06:47] ya you should stick to one file so we can pinpoint it [06:47] hopping all over introduces too many things that can go wrong [06:50] that one was a mpg just for reference. Attempting to use the line now [06:51] nope [06:52] that sucks [06:52] makes no sense [06:52] I'd like to meet somene who this does work for [06:53] I have yet to hear anyone say this works for them [06:53] it works for me [06:53] also I wrote it :P [06:54] argh [06:54] do we have the same ffmpeg package? [06:55] 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7+medibuntu1 [06:55] dpkg -l ffmpeg |grep ^ii [06:55] I'm on hardy now [06:55] but it workes fine in gutsy as well [06:56] its the same [06:57] I'm Hardy as well [06:57] I'm 64bit though [06:57] same here [06:57] well should I be filing a bug report? === tgm4883_laptop is now known as tgm4883 === tgm4883 is now known as tgm4883_laptop [07:55] what setting do you use if you are gonna run coax from a STB to a PVR-150? in the backend setup? its not us-bcast...i know now [07:56] and, how do i run the backend setup...again? :) its been a while since i played with this box === croppa_ is now known as croppa [08:04] well i figured out the setup problem...now trying the other problem [08:24] channel frequency table is what im looking for btw...its getting late...LOL [08:56] any noticable difference between kernel i/o schedulers (anticipatory, deadline, and cfq) in regards to mythtv performance? === otwin_ is now known as otwin === croppa_ is now known as croppa [11:52] do you think it'd help to run the server instead of the generic kernel on my backend server? [13:26] hey guys [13:27] im just havin some probs iństalling mythbuntu onto my hardy heron -.- [13:27] someone here who could help me? [13:31] Is mythbuntu 8.04 released at the same time as ubuntu 8.04? [13:31] !ask [13:31] 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. :-) [13:31] bogus-: yes.. maybe a few days later, but the plan is to release the same day [13:32] ah nice, then I'll wait with installing my htpc for a few more days :) [13:32] thx :) [13:33] bogus-: you can install the RC and then upgrade. (unless you use cx88-alsa, then you should wait for the final) [13:33] hmm yea that's an option too ofcourse [13:35] it's already very stable. [13:41] laga: a couple of friends experienced severe instability with mythtv 0.21, probably because of the multi-mux recording. I have a friends mythbuntu computer here, 2 analog v4l cards, mythbuntu 7.10. Should I upgrade to 8.04 and myth 021? [13:41] slundell: your couple of friends need to file some bug records then :) [13:41] slundell: never touch a running system [13:42] if it works and if he doesn't need the new features, let it be [13:42] (or at leas get a full backup) [13:58] every time I ssh into my mythtv box, i get the list of upcoming recordings, but then it gives this message: [13:58] Schedule Conflicts: [13:58] Unable to access MythTV Perl API. Try with --verbose to find out why. [13:58] this is 8.04 RC [14:12] pdragon: file a bug report [14:12] semi-known problem, but w/o a bug report it won't be fixed [14:13] k [14:16] done [14:21] yay [14:23] gay [14:24] how do you check release version? [15:58] can i run this on my fedora? [15:59] eh?] [16:01] also can i use mediaportal themes on mythtv? [16:02] "eh?" [16:02] might want to try #mythtv-users [16:02] < rambo3> can i run this on my fedora? <--- rambo3 what is "this"? [16:04] * superm1 laughs at the idea of running mythbuntu on fedora [16:04] just run mythbuntu on its own :) [16:08] Daviey, Google Mythdora? [16:09] yeah they sad in #mythtv-users that i can install ubuntu-mythtv on fedora [16:09] darthanubis: willdo :/ [16:10] well I guess that was for rambo [16:10] sorry [16:12] hmmm [16:13] I don't see why you would want to do that [16:13] seems like more of a mess than its worth [16:13] mythbuntu > fedora + mythtv, so maybe wants the niceities in mythbuntu to replace the !nicities in fedora + mythtv? [16:13] jus a hunch [16:14] i am running fedora as firefox addon [16:23] "fedora as a firefox addon"? [16:23] really? [16:24] what channel frequency table do i use for coax out of a STB to the PC? and what channel do i need to be on? i had sound work for a second. and then somehow channel got changed on accident. now i can't get nothign to work with any settings [17:20] hardy should be out soon, right? [17:21] JDStone, I heard rumors about thursday, but i'm not so sure [17:22] JDStone, try http://www.ubuntu.com/ [17:56] tgm4883: alright, thanks :) [17:56] oh, der, yep, 2 days [17:56] I should have looked [17:56] lol [17:56] first [18:46] http://pastebin.com/d1c3f1aea [18:46] mythexport exportdir=/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=320x240 aspect=4:3 audio_bitrate=192kb video_bitrate=600kb export_device=ipod export_codec=mpeg4 [18:47] runnining from the job does not work [18:47] USING nice -n19 ffmpeg -i /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1044_20080421110000.mpg -acodec aac -ab 192kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 600kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+trell -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x240 '/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport/VH1---Video-Hits-One_The_Flavor_of_Love__20080421110000.mp4' 2>&1 [18:47] without the "USING" does [18:48] also %t_-__00_(04).avi is how nuvexport is renaming my files. [18:49] darthanubis: make a bash script that only does the ffmpeg and call it from a user job [18:49] I still think you have permission problems [18:49] these two issues I would greatly like solved [18:49] I still think its not possible [18:49] we've covered that, and solved it [18:49] where else would there be a permission issue? [18:49] if not the write dir? [18:50] makes no since for one ot work and not the other because of permissions [18:51] well this is testing the perms [18:52] I'm sorry? [18:52] those permission was changed permanently [18:53] mythtv user writes freely to the export dir [18:53] if there is another dir where I need to check the perms please tell me. [18:56] only 2 that should matter are where the file is exported to, and where the recording is stored at [18:57] make a bash script that will run your ffmpeg line that you ran by hand, and execute that from a user job, see if that runs correctly [19:05] http://pastebin.com/d47fdf71 [19:06] first, you are in the wrong directory, you aren't in your export direcotry (sometimes, not always, it will drop logs or temp files in there) [19:06] 2nd running that by hand isn't testing the user job [19:08] afternoon....i had just downloaded the iso for 8.04 RC, and it loads to the liven enviro, but with an error of unable to load HAL....i can click through the error, but when i click on the icon to isntall, the cd spins up but that's it...nothing else is going on....I was hoping someone might have a suggestion. I am able to use the 7.10 iso without any issue. [19:09] I think both my issues have something to do with these external apps not being able to read from the database [19:09] hence the wrong file name from nuvexport, and the failure of mythexport from job level [19:09] well mythexport can read from it, otherwise it wouldn't have any of that info [19:09] MythbuntuGuest94: known problem with the linux-ubuntu-modules package. you'll have to install using the alternate disk or wait a few days for the final [19:10] such as the recording location, the random info the it injects with atomicparsley [19:10] MythbuntuGuest94: the RC alternate disk has other problems, i'm currently testing a version which should be fixed. so if you can wait a few hours.. [19:10] I think I got it [19:10] maybe [19:10] I'm telling you this looks like permissions, or you having busted recordings [19:10] the recordings themselves [19:12] Laga: thank you very much, makes me feel a little better....I'll look into the alternate disk...this is the AMD64 version btw [19:12] darthanubis, did you grab the recordings via firewire? [19:12] no [19:12] laga: I can definitely wait a few hours...I'm stuck at work so i have time to waste. [19:12] are you storing them in mpeg2 raw or what? [19:13] thats how I do mine, never really heard of anyone doing them otherwise and having problems [19:13] MythbuntuGuest94: if you use the RC, you'll run into the HAL problem again. you can get the iso i'm going to test now here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily/20080422/ but no guarantees it'll work [19:13] rhpot1991_laptop, i had problems transcoding HD recordings over fire wire [19:14] tgm4883_laptop: odd, I have done that with success [19:14] well it isn't always a problem [19:14] might be a bad stream or something [19:14] it depends on how the show is broadcast [19:14] then ffmpeg chokes on it [19:14] darthanubis: do a ls -la /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg [19:14] and then ffmpeg -i /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg [19:14] ie, when it goes to commercial, the cable company doesn't broadcast that in HD [19:15] ya that happens a lot [19:15] as far as I know this handles it ok [19:15] so there is a switch in there and mythtranscode choked on it [19:15] as mythtv user? [19:15] Laga: I'll give it shot...i don't have anything to lose since it's a brand new install..nothing to wreck if I have to reinstall [19:15] but i haven't tried it in ages [19:15] it gets screwed up if you don't have an aspect ratio set [19:15] gets lost and sometimes scruntches things [19:15] Tuv0k: doesn't matter [19:19] http://pastebin.com/d4bd1c93a [19:20] the file you called I deleted [19:20] used another [19:20] ls: cannot access /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg: No such file or directory [19:20] well you need to test with files that exist [19:21] so I tested with a file that exist [19:21] as the pastebin reveals [19:21] superm1, ?? [19:25] you should bump your capture rez to 720x480 as well, get a better picture with that [19:26] I still think you should put that ffmpeg line in a bash script and execute it from a user job [19:32] how will that pull the file names? [19:32] i need help [19:32] !ask [19:32] 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. :-) [19:33] Tuv0k: you can hardcode the files into the ffmpeg line for the time being [19:33] passing a file xml to mythfilldatabase --file 0 /file.xml [19:33] the point is to see if it runs via the user job since it seems to be running by hand [19:34] i cant use any grabber in my country theres no listings for local channel and i can not code a grabber cause there`s no info for the listings [19:35] firewax: what is your country? [19:35] dominican republic [19:36] i'm sure there is a website which provides EPG listings for the dominican republic? [19:37] the only one is tvguide [19:37] for international channels [19:37] theres nothing for local channels. i will need to write the xml on a file right? [19:38] yeah [19:38] with channel info, program info etc etc etc [19:38] well, maybe you can use one of the existing grabbers to get international channels at least?` [19:38] im having trouble writing that [19:39] yeah laga i can use the tv_grab_ar for some international channels, but what i really need its local tv [19:40] i have all the channels schedules in a spreadsheet [19:40] i need to convert it to a xml file, there`s where im having issues [19:41] i have read the xmltv xmlfile format and it doesnt work eighter [19:42] if you use perl, it's very easy to write the file using the XMLTV libraries. [19:42] reading the spreadsheet will be harder [19:42] is it excel? or openoffice? [19:44] excel [19:44] im a perl novice [19:45] i can transcribe it to a text document [19:45] i have channel name, channel number, program, start time, stop time, program desc. [19:45] nothing else [19:45] http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-pexcel/ <- firewax maybe that can help you === MythbuntuGuest39 is now known as Rimers [19:46] thanks laga [19:46] doesn't look too bad [19:46] hi all, got a slight problem here, all dns on my mythbuntu have stopped working [19:47] let me find the xmltv libraries manual [19:47] I can connect to it via SSH but i cant ping from it and i cant resolve dns [19:48] firewax: man XMLTV [19:48] firewax: where did you get that spreadsheet? [19:50] firewax: it looks like there is also XML::Excel, not sure how suitable that is for your needs [19:53] i made the spreadsheet [19:53] I FUCKING FINALLY GOT SMOOTH 1080p HDTV PLAYBACK [19:53] :d [19:53] :D :D:D:D [19:55] !language [19:55] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:55] congratulations, tho === MythbuntuGuest94 is now known as Gregg === Gregg is now known as GreggNJ [19:56] Laga have you got any knowlage of networking in ubuntu? I can ping localhost/localip but nothing else, there is no dns working as far as i can see [19:56] Rimers: check /etc/resolv.conf [19:57] got the same servers listed as im using here [19:59] check the logs? [19:59] firewall going nuts? [19:59] * laga gone to test the alternate disk [20:14] ok [20:23] 2 days left right ... ;) [20:43] if I downloaded the RC yesterday, and there were issues when installing it, with HAL, is it updated today with the fix? [20:43] riddlebox, there isn't a new RC release today [20:44] dang, I was hoping on like a daily build or something [20:45] working on it ;) [20:45] ahh cool [20:45] would you like to test it? [20:45] I would [20:45] 32 or 64 bit [20:45] cause I had to do alot last night to get that RC up and I am not convinced it installed all correctly [20:45] 32 [20:45] alright, let me see if i can get a link [20:46] sweet! [20:47] do you know if it has the latest v4l drivers, cause my PCTV HD PCI card works with those drivers [20:48] which card?
