[01:04] anyone familiar with nuvexport? [01:10] filename=%t-%m that is my string from ~.nuvexportrc [01:10] %t-04.avi < that is the name of the file I get [01:34] Tuv0k: ever try to figure out your ffmpeg issue? [01:34] rhpot1991, yes I did [01:35] what was the issue? [01:35] rhpot1991, my perl binding were borked [01:35] how so? [01:35] config.xml? [01:35] I'm not sure [01:35] I had issues with myth and cpan [01:36] ah [01:36] perl modules noto being built [01:36] I generally don't use cpan [01:36] I remember fixing that [01:36] do you check for the modules on apt before cpan? [01:36] so I was lost, and was wondering why it was working for you [01:36] a lot of them are there for you ready to install [01:36] yes [01:36] ya I told you it was something funky with your setup, cause it works for everyone I've ever talked to about it [01:37] basically, my myth install was borked [01:37] after we got past the common problems it seemed that something funky was on your end [01:37] so I uninstalled myth [01:37] and reinstalled it [01:37] mysql remained and retained the database [01:37] ya it will [01:38] mythexport works now [01:38] you can just drop it if you really wanna start from scratch [01:38] thats good to hear, are you using the one from my ppa? [01:38] yes [01:38] cause the one on ubuntu archives has the nuv bug till I can get it in there [01:38] archive was frozen when I had my patch submitted [01:38] ah [01:39] I'm posting to the forum as we type about nuvexport [01:39] seems a few have issues with it [01:39] it won't do the right thing from jobline [01:39] and the onyl reason it seems to use it [01:40] is for cutting commercials and transcoding nuvs [01:40] all in one script [01:40] so there are three scritps to use [01:40] nuvexport [01:40] mythexport [01:41] and that guy calls his script mythexport as well to add to the confusion [01:41] careful automagically cutting commercials [01:41] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Removing_Commercials [01:41] http://tacomafia.net:8080/blog/2006/mythexport/#comment-35 [01:42] have you seen those two? [01:44] I tried the first one [01:44] just trying to have the cutlist gerenated, the cutlist honored, and then transcoded [01:44] didn't have much success [01:44] whew not just me [01:44] what happened? [01:44] also there is a human intervention that I think commercial flagging needs [01:44] it can't tell the difference between 10 seconds of show at the end and 10 more seconds of commercials [01:46] he added code to fix that [01:46] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Script_-_RemoveCommercials [01:46] near the bottom of the page he address that specifically [01:47] I'll take a look in a minute, gotta do something now [01:47] k [01:55] see my stance is that I would rather have to skip commercials than go to watch something and say ut oh commflagging got bunked and now I only have 2 minutes of videos [01:56] I've seen it go bad where you couldn't forsee it, things like weather alerts and junk screw things up [01:59] tis a trade off [01:59] I don't have the luxury of manually creating a cutlist [02:00] so I have to take the good with the bad [02:00] thats why I'm automating everything [02:03] i heard law and order screw things up [02:03] fade to black a lot [02:03] course i have been out of the loop for a while [02:09] Tuv0k: why not just use the commercial skip functionality? [02:09] you aren't trimming that much off of your recordings to justify the size and wasted cpu cycles (or thats my opinion at least) [02:10] I can not manually be there to do this [02:10] thus automation [02:11] ya but when you playback you hit the button to skip commercials [02:11] it can do it then [02:11] its still in your recording, but you skip it when watching [02:11] i have mine set to autoskip commercials...if i ever get it to watch live TV again that is [02:12] ti won't do that in vlc [02:12] or any other video player [02:13] the idea is to cut commercials and transcode to a common format, to watch anywhere [02:14] anyone have any ideas how to get video out of a STB? [02:14] haven't you seen those tv shows on bittorrent where its the whole hr show in a file like 375mb with no commercials? [02:14] thats the idea here [02:14] thats all I'm trying to do [02:14] and it seems like I'm trying to put a ship in a bottle [02:15] Anyone found a fix for 4:3 dvd ripping playback in mythbuntu 8.04 [02:17] mythtv plays back all dvd in 4:3 no matter if u overide to 16:9 [02:18] jayshotta: hmmm sounds like your TV might be doing that [02:18] mine does that depending on the connection [02:18] if its not an HD connection it makes it 4:3 [02:18] and I need to specifically tell it wide screen [02:18] also mine plays back 16:9 dvd's fine [02:18] not if u rip then mine dont [02:19] when I rip then as excellent they playback 4:3 [02:19] what are you ripping as? [02:19] I rip as iso and it works fine [02:20] Iso are too big I have a 250 drive i want to transfer all dvd's to and I set them to excellent it changes them to ave 1-1 1/2 gigs [02:21] with knoppmyth I have no problem but new mythbuntu it does that [02:25] might be a 0.21 issue then [02:26] have you checked the forums or mailing list? [02:40] can anyone install the linuxtv drivers? [02:46] goddammit [02:54] famicom, whats the problem? [02:55] ati driver is fucked [03:13] !language | famicom [03:13] famicom: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:22] Anyone found a fix for 4:3 dvd ripping playback in mythbuntu 8.04 [03:38] Anyone happen to know why I'd be getting audio sync problems, but different channels are better/worse [03:47] is there anywhere I can download a 7.10 version of mythbuntu? [03:49] riddlebox, no [03:49] heh, i just listened to a linux link tech show with you on it [03:50] but anyway, why do you need 7.10? [03:59] yeah I talk to them in irc alot [03:59] so why 7.10? [03:59] because the kernel in 8.04 is not letting me compile the drivers I need for video4linux [04:00] hmm [04:00] I have a bug report on it, but its taking to long [04:00] you probably could grab the torrent [04:00] or could google for it [04:00] I cant get anything from the site, it seems they have deleted it from the servers [04:01] well you could check linuxtracker.org, thats who hosts the torrent tracker [04:01] AFAIK, it is still there [04:01] where? [04:02] oh yea [04:02] nm [04:02] I forgot that their site crashed and there is no torrent [04:02] :( [04:02] sec [04:03] Hey Can someone give me a hand with setup [04:04] riddlebox, i386 or amd64 [04:04] i386 [04:04] Crewsr3, not unless you state your problem [04:04] riddlebox, check pm [04:05] you are a lifesaver [04:05] !!! [04:05] I know ;) [04:05] I'm setting up the backend and it is asking for the video source.....it is my understanding that this is for the channel line up [04:06] where would I go to get this set up [04:06] schedulesdirect.org [04:07] is there a free source? [04:07] Crewsr3, AFAIK, nothing worth messing with [04:09] does zap2it work [04:09] Crewsr3, can I guess that you googled that? [04:11] I have try myth for a long time and way back Zap2it was recommened [04:11] I have never been able to get myth to work [04:11] Crewsr3, zap2it no longer exists to give free data [04:17] why not pay $20 to help an open source app? [04:19] I want to get it working with my card and cable before I sign up [04:19] what kind of card? [04:19] Crewsr3, good news then, they have a 7 day free trial [04:19] Haup 150 [04:20] Crewsr3: thats the easiest one to get going! [04:20] I have tried to get myth to work several times with out luck [04:20] with mythbuntu it should be no problem [04:20] I'm hoping 8.04 will be my lucky shot [04:20] you probably didnt load the ivtv driver and firmware for the card [04:21] how do I load Ivtv [04:21] with mythbuntu it takes care of EVERYTHING [04:22] i'm in the front end and when I select the WatchTV nothing happens [04:22] Crewsr3, did you check the installation manual? [04:22] you have to setup the backend, with your card [04:23] mythtv doesnt detect everything, you need to go in and tell it what kind of card you use and a couple others [04:24] I think it has the drivers for the card, I went in a selected the hard ware as the video card [04:26] in mythbackend? [04:27] yes in the backend set up [04:28] did you do it just now? If so did you complete the rest of the setup in the backend? [04:28] I think so [04:29] The online stuff is working [04:30] Does the dvd archive get around css [04:30] well try to watch livetv real quick [04:31] I selected the icon and nothing happens [04:32] it can take a bit [04:32] how long? [04:32] to seconds or so [04:32] I've waited mins [04:33] i'm trying a reboot [04:33] almost done [04:34] still a no go [04:34] I press enter and the screen flashes and that is it [04:35] Crewsr3, what does it say about it in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [04:38] what is the command to view the log [04:38] dkpg? [04:38] gedit or nano [04:38] Crewsr3: you can use tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [04:39] or is it tail -f or something like that [04:40] tail worked what are you looking for [04:40] can you pastebin it for us? [04:40] pastebin what it says [04:40] haha [04:41] Myth is on a different box [04:41] so ssh in [04:41] you have ssh'd into it right [04:41] I'm not that savvy [04:42] are you on that box right now? is it on the internet? [04:42] yes, should I just open an irc on it? [04:42] !pastebin | Crewsr3 [04:42] Crewsr3: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:42] I dont think xchat is installed [04:43] just copy the contents of that terminal to paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:45] did it work? [04:45] well we kinda need the url of the paste [04:46] ,org/64631/ [04:46] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64631/ [04:46] try that [04:47] ok, try to nano /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log, and give us the whole log [04:48] wohoo almost done with the download [04:48] done [04:49] now I just wish I was at home to install it [04:50] ok [04:50] I posted [04:50] link [04:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64633/ [04:51] No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP. [04:51] Please run setup on this machine and modify the first page [04:51] of the general settings. [04:51] I saw that [04:51] what do I need to set up [04:52] Crewsr3, I'm going to refer you to the installation manual here http://www.mythbuntu.org/documentation/mythbuntu_8.04_installation.pdf [04:52] ok [04:52] thanks for the help [04:52] I'm going to call it a night and try it with the manual tommorow [04:53] thanks! [04:53] goof luck [04:53] good luck [04:53] thanks! [04:55] whoa [05:23] trying to figure out why when running mythtv backend setup, it is mis-scaled so that the back/forward buttons are off the screen [06:53] i get a "cannot open /dev/tty1 Input/output error" when trying to use the final 8.04 livecd.. i've verified md5s and burnt multiple cds [06:53] also when i try to check disc integrity from the menu the bar fills up and then it hangs.. i think it is trying to say something but the text isn't being written for some reason [06:53] all of this worked fine on a beta version, rc1 i believe [06:54] has anyone else ran into this behavior? [07:42] any recommendations for the leadtek dtv2000h [07:42] im thinking of trying sudo echo "cx88-dvb" >> /etc/modules [07:42] and tvtime [07:42] but can anyone tell me if myth will work [07:43] btw, i can just install the myth-backend using add/remove under ubuntu ?? will that work ok, i dont want a dedicated mythbox === riddlebo1 is now known as riddlebox [08:00] shizno, try booting the cd in anotehr computer? [08:00] or in a VM? [08:33] it was a (driver?) issue with amd64.. it's working now with i386 [08:51] hi any one awake? [08:53] thought it might be a bit early/late [08:53] just need some one to tell me how to add a networked folder so i can view moives from other desktop [10:10] hi people, is anyone having any problems with the latest mythubuntu 8.04? - as i can't get mythtv to find any channels in the mythtv-setup [10:10] i have a HVR-1110 card [10:11] it works manually in mplayer, i.e mplayer dvb://"bbc news" [10:12] how do you debug channel scanning in mythtv? [10:20] dbmister: mythtv-setupp --verbose help [10:20] will give you a list of options [10:20] for debugging output [10:22] thanks [10:23] anyone had issues with dvb channel scanning? [10:26] i.e Timeout Scanning 0 -- no signal [10:27] did you enter an initial transpondeR? you usually have to enter an initial tuning frequency [10:28] where do you enter that? [10:28] when you select "initial scan (tuned)" or something like that [10:31] mmm, does tuning timeout have any effect? [10:38] thanks for your help [10:39] does it work? [11:21] hi! I just got me a 8600gt nvidia! wow am I happy... [11:21] then again I cant get the opengl thing working in mythtv. [11:22] the second time it just plays the audio but the screen stays black [11:22] running mythbuntu 8 [11:22] i think that's a known problem [11:22] opengl video is not exactly supported, it's just enabled for those who want to try it [11:22] hi laga [11:23] hi [11:23] what osd does run at high resolution? [11:23] chromakey does not work for 8600 nvidia cards [11:24] no clue, sorry :) [11:24] i still use a SDTV [11:24] search the mailing lists, maybe there is a solution for the black screen probem [11:24] but don't you have the problem that some channels resolution is so low that the standard osd is barely readable? [11:25] even in SDTV (which I also use)? [11:26] no, i sit 3-4m away and i use DVb-C [11:27] so u use "softblend"? [11:27] i have no clue :) i think so [11:28] thanks [12:42] Does anyone have a fix for mplayer it is doing 4:3 on all movies even with16:9 override on [13:30] Does anyone have a fix for mplayer it is doing 4:3 on all movies even with16:9 override on [13:31] dammit [13:31] why does x264 keep crashing [14:11] I got it working some weird reason 4:3 does widescreen [14:35] I have a quick question: if I want to store my old dvds that I converted to xvid on my mythbuntu, then in that directory should I store them, and what naming rules are there. I tried putting them in /var/lib/mythtv/videos, but mythvideo doesn't see any [14:49] did u got o video manager to add them yet [14:49] u have to imdb scan them in video manager [14:50] then u can see them in mythvideos [14:50] jayshotta: erhm ... what command do I have to execute? [14:51] jayshotta: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl? [14:51] jus go to setup>video Manager>the hit I for info [14:51] k [14:51] then do a scan on each video [14:51] tnx, I'll give it a try [14:51] it will query imdb for movie info [14:52] no prob [14:56] hi all can any one tell me how to add the format MKV so that mythtv will play it [14:56] thanks [14:58] I have never heard of that format why not convert it [14:58] it is a high definition format well it's not a format really it's a wrapper [14:58] is there no way to add it [14:58] mplayer and vlc play it no problems [14:59] just want to be able to use MCE remote [15:03] im not sure about that at all [15:05] hi there! [15:05] anybody in here? [15:05] sure i am [15:06] i had a question which i didn't find any answer to in google or otherwhere quickly. [15:06] Is it possible to connect with mythbuntu 8.04 to my existing knoppmyth installation which is running 0.20... [15:07] no [15:07] hi again laga [15:07] nope [15:07] in other words: is it entirely impossible to connect a 0.21 frontend to a 0.20 backend? or is there a workaround? [15:07] yes [15:07] it's impossible [15:07] hey laga I got that second HDD connected [15:08] jayshotta: great [15:08] ok. second question. any of you any experience with transferring a knoppmyth install to a mytbuntu one? [15:08] he can use mythbuntu as his FE [15:08] jay: i can? [15:08] no [15:08] he can't :) [15:08] lol [15:08] you can try mythbuntu 7.10 if you totally need 0.20 [15:09] i used 7.10 fe on my knoppmyth [15:09] worked fine for me [15:09] jayshotta: yes, but 8.04 is newer. [15:09] or diffecrent question: can i install mythtv 0.20 on hardy? [15:09] and it has mythtv 0.21 [15:09] 8.04 u cant i know [15:09] laga you got any ideas how to make mythtv play mkv's? [15:11] hyphun: you can build it from source [15:11] I wonder why mythbuntu removed online music stream [15:11] psicobra: no [15:11] psicobra: that should be straight-forward, i guess. install the extra codecs and associate mkv in the video settings menu with the right player... I don't know about the extra channels (subs etc) [15:11] i don't use mkv [15:11] jayshotta: you mean mythstream? maybe you just don't have that package installed [15:12] under media library I usto be able to stream shoutcast [15:12] hey laga wats up with that symbolic link erroe i get from mythweb when I click on video ? [15:14] thx, laga, but i think I will research on how to upgrade my knoppmyth to 0.21 or even to Mythbuntu Hardy. :p [15:14] lol laga u was right how did i miss that one [15:21] damn, just checked with knoppmyth... they didn't upgrade to 0.21 yet... [15:22] so it will be mythbuntu 8.04... maybe a diskless server or so. [15:23] seems interesting. [16:49] how does one del a added storage group? [16:50] How does one delete an added storage group? [16:53] "d" [16:54] lol [16:54] my box rebooted it self [16:54] for no reason [16:54] Broadcast message from root [16:54] (unknown) at 10:28 ... [16:55] The system is going down for reboot NOW! [16:55] :P [16:55] you probably enabled automatic shutdown in mytrhtv [16:55] or your box got rooted :) [16:55] i dont see how it could get rooted [16:55] unless you came to my house [16:55] probably some else knows ;) [16:56] anyway.. i am experiencing some streamzap remote issues [17:00] or they are focus issues [17:00] once in a while live-tv or playback doesnt respond to my remote [17:01] all of a sudden all of them catch up [17:03] /run shutdown -h now --host=a1fa [17:04] oh sorry, wrong screen [18:35] Does the 8.04 amd64 install usually create the database mythtv user and mythconverg db automatically?
