KillerKiwi2005jayshotta: you need to set some keys in gconf there is no ui yet00:05
jayshottaooh ok00:05

MythbuntuGuest89Hi, for some reason I have to restart the backend before TV recording (or live tv) will work. (hdhomerun)00:06
tgm4883_laptopanyone have the new vista mce remote and know how to program the buttons?00:06
MythbuntuGuest89Any idea what could be the issue?00:07
MythbuntuGuest89Otherwise, mythbuntu is working great.00:07
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: have u checked the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log00:08
KillerKiwi2005tgm4883_laptop: what device is it /dev/irc0 ?00:08
jayshottaHow do I access gconf00:08
KillerKiwi2005alt-f2  gconf-editor00:09
tgm4883_laptopKillerKiwi2005, probably /dev/lirc0, it shows up the same as a MCDUSB2, I actually just need to program the volume and power buttons00:09
jayshottaok00:09
MythbuntuGuest89 HDHRChan(ffffffff/0), Error: Unable to send discovery request00:09
MythbuntuGuest89Killerkiwi2005: I suspect that the network is not up and available before the backend starts for some reason00:10
tgm4883_laptopKillerKiwi2005, it's this remote  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1688012100100:10
KillerKiwi2005tgm4883_laptop: check out irrecord to capture other keys00:10
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: are you using network manager?00:11
MythbuntuGuest89Im using whatever is the default.  I just installed the lastest version of mythbuntu00:11
tgm4883_laptopKillerKiwi2005, not what i'm asking.  I want the remote to emulate the regular tv remote and control the volume and tv directly not though ir blasting00:11
KillerKiwi2005ahh i see00:12
KillerKiwi2005that remote is programable isnt it.....00:12
tgm4883_laptopyep00:12
tgm4883_laptopbut doesn't conform to the other USBMCE2 commands00:13
dthackerhow do I get the picture adustments menu to come up in myth frontend.   I've tried the F key I found in the docs but nothing happens?00:13
KillerKiwi2005I never got that working with my mce remote...... didnt try that hard though00:13
tgm4883_laptopKillerKiwi2005, it works with all my other MCEUSB2 remotes but this remote is different and I lost the manual :(00:14
KillerKiwi2005tgm4883_laptop: same... i threw the manual out ;)00:15
* dthacker looks for key commands in the setup menu00:15
MythbuntuGuest89KillerKiwi2005: I guess I'm using network manager, if that is what is in the new version.  Should I try something else?00:15
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: try setting the netwrok connection to be static00:15
MythbuntuGuest89via the network icon in the top right corner, or some other way?00:16
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: left click on the connection in the tray and click on manual00:16
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: select your connection and click properties... disable roaming00:17
KillerKiwi2005MythbuntuGuest89: you will then need to complete the connection details... that will make network connection start at boot instead of after the desktop starts00:18
dthackerIs there a config file that will let me see what keys are mapped to which functions during playback or watching live tv?00:18
MythbuntuGuest89I will try that.  Thanks, KillerKiwi.00:18
KillerKiwi2005dthacker: there is a key setup screen in myth .21 +00:18
* dthacker checks version00:19
tgm4883_laptopKillerKiwi2005, dthacker that program is a plugin that is installable00:19
KillerKiwi2005ahh true00:19
KillerKiwi2005... should be there by default ;)00:20

tgm4883_laptopstrange00:38
tgm4883_laptopdid you use mcc to set the remote up?00:38
dthackerIt looks like /home/dthacker/.mythtv has a mysql file and two subdirs full of theme files.00:38
dthackerI used adept00:38
dthackerwhat is mcc?00:39
tgm4883_laptopmythbuntu-control-centre00:39

tgm4883_laptop;)00:41
dthackernope.  I didn't install it.   I must have just started up the front end and answered the questions for running the first time.00:43
dthackershould I install mcc on a frontend only machine?00:43
tgm4883_laptopI don't see why not00:44
dthackerok, let's see what happens...00:44
tgm4883_laptopwhat is the screen resolution app called in the command line?00:45

replmanHi! Using mythtv with dvb-s on Astra 19,2E...does mythtv get epg automatically?01:12
wilberfanJust installed mythbuntu hardy...01:13
wilberfan:-)01:13
wilberfanbut i'm not seeing where to point it to my downloaded (ie, not recorded) videos...01:13
wilberfanand i'm not getting any "watch videos" option on the frontend... (just "watch recordings")01:14
destructarhi all... i'm having some very irritating issues with mythbuntu... frontend is unable to connect to mysql db01:15
destructari keep getting "you probably should modify the master server settings in the setup program and set the proper ip address"01:15
v_wilberfan: do you have mythmovie installed?01:16
destructarsearching on google seems to suggest that I'm attempting to run frontend remotely, but I'm not. I'm running a backend and frontend server01:16
v_wilberfan:or mythvideo01:16
wilberfanv_, [whistles] good question!01:16
v_check in the control center01:17
wilberfanjust what i was gonna ask...01:17
wilberfanlemme check...01:17
wilberfanbrb01:17
wilberfanNONE of my plugins are checked (except mythweb)01:17
destructarscratch that... just looked at my error again. the problem is, frontend can't connect to backend... "connecting to database" worked, but it fails on "connecting to backend server:127.0.0.1:6543"01:18
wilberfanv_, what is "mythcontrols"?01:18
wilberfanv_, and should I select any (or all) of the "Media Playback Applications"?01:18
wilberfanMPlayer?  Xine?  VLC?01:19
wilberfanis that telling it to use one--or just installing some or all...?01:19
v_sorry i had to leave my comp for a sec01:21
v_you should just have to install mythvideo, you might have to install VLC01:22
wilberfanok...i've got it pointed to the right folder, etc...  but it won't play any of the videos...01:24
v_do you have VLC, MPlayer or Xine installed?01:25
wilberfanadding vlc and xine and MPlayer now..01:25
wilberfan:-|01:25
wilberfanI guess they're the ones that play .avi's n' such?01:25
v_yea01:26
wilberfandoes mythhardy do anything different/better than mythgutsy?01:26
v_hardy boots faster01:26
wilberfanso i know what to look for...?01:26
v_and is more stable01:26
v_and is newer01:27
wilberfan:P01:27
wilberfanok, lemme try this video playback again...01:27
wilberfanI now have HardyPr0n!  :-D01:28
v_It works?01:29
wilberfanthe .avi playback stuff, yeah...  :)01:29
v_cool01:29
wilberfani recording something last night (on the separate recording partition) under Feisty...is there any way to make hardy see that recording??01:29
v_can you watch live tv01:29
wilberfanyep01:30
wilberfandon't know if the Hauppage remote works yet, though...01:30
wilberfanI'm gonna have to wrestle with the xorg next...  :-O01:30
v_when you set up myth, did you use a tutorial?01:30
wilberfanyou mean the first time?   or this time...?01:30
v_first time01:31
wilberfanwow...i think it was a combination of trying stuff that made sense...and some helpful types in here!01:31
wilberfani can't really remember exactly...01:31
v_could you take a look at my backend log file01:32
wilberfani know it was channel help that helped the most...01:32
wilberfanME?  oh, dude...i'm pretty n00b!  I'm not sure i'd have any idea what i was seeing!01:32
v_http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64784/01:32
wilberfanjust as i thought:  i have no idea what i'm looking at!01:33
v_well take a look, when I click "Watch TV" my screen just flashes01:33
wilberfani DO remember that nothing worked right until I got the permissions correct on the recording partition...01:34
wilberfanin my case:  "sudo chown mythtv:mythtv -R /where/recording/partis"01:35
wilberfani think the "mythtv:mythtv" was crucial?01:35
v_good Idea!!!01:35
wilberfanit made ALL the diff....01:35
v_still doesn't work01:37
wilberfanthis will sound n00b, but have you rebooted?01:37
wilberfan(yes, my old Windoze habits!)01:38
v_do you know how to restart the backend01:38
jayshottachmod 777 the folder01:38
v_tried that01:38
jayshottachmod -R 777 the folder01:38
v_that too01:38
wilberfanwonder if i need to do that?01:38

Franky_the_PierHi, is there a known problem with pvr-150 remote and a video card nvidia FX5200?  I am asking because i tried my pvr-150 in 2 different computers, with the remote working on the 2nd computer...  without the fx5200.  I wanted to use the fx5200, so i put it in the 2nd computer, then the remote won't work any more, IRW won't work, etc...  starting to think it is related to the video card...01:53
Franky_the_Pier(conflict)01:54
wilberfanhmm..my first test recording hesitated every second or so....01:58
v_jayshotta, can you figure out anything02:00
wilberfananyone remember how to turn off the pip preview?  that caused a lot of problems for me under gutsy...02:02
v_I haven't even gotten myth tv to work yet02:03
v_wilberfan: i'm going to just restart my comp. See you in a couple of minutes02:05

vbman11no database setup02:23
wilberfani didn't do anything specific, no...02:23
vbman11ok02:23
wilberfanyou're frontend and backend are the same machine?02:23
vbman11yep02:23

destructar_should i be concerned about the message "no upnp backends found" when trying to run mythtv setup?02:31
vbman11yes...kind of02:32
destructar_what does it mean?02:32
vbman11I'm not quite sure, sry02:33
vbman11wilberfan: It says that there are on recording02:33
vbman11s02:33
vbman11*no recordings*02:34
wilberfanvbman11, not a good sign, huh....02:35
wilberfani'm no where near experienced enough with this to help at this point....02:36
wilberfan:-|02:36
vbman11is there anyone else that can help?02:36
destructar_vbman11: are you sure backend is running?02:37
wilberfandestructar_, how does one verify that?  (just curious)02:40
destructar_one sec02:41
destructar_ps -p `cat /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid`02:41
destructar_from terminal of course02:42
wilberfanwow...  impressive!02:42
wilberfan"process ID list syntax error"02:43
wilberfanhave to do it as root, huh...?02:44
wilberfanPID 5776!  :)02:44
destructar_i don't think you have to do it as root... shouldn't have to02:45
wilberfanhow come it doesn't show up in the System Monitor?02:45
destructar_you used ` instead of ' right?02:45
destructar_` = backtick02:45
wilberfanon the end?  probably not...02:45
destructar_the part that is in quotes is actually backquotes (or backticks if you're a moron like me)02:46
wilberfani had no idea that's what that character was!   it worked fine when i used it...02:46
wilberfanany idea why the backend doesn't show up in the system monitor??02:47
destructar_it shows up on command line right?02:47
wilberfanwait...it DOES show up in system monitor...if you display ALL processes....02:47
wilberfanView/all processes02:47
destructar_i came in late to your problem... what issue are you having?02:48
wilberfanMe?  I'm not, at this point...  :)02:48
destructar_oh gotcha02:48
wilberfanvbman11 is having one, though....02:48
destructar_my issues tonight are frustrating...02:49
wilberfani just installed hardy today... finally got myth up and running...02:49
wilberfan:-D02:49
destructar_installed mythbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.04...02:49
wilberfanditto02:49
destructar_that's what i'm attempting to do yea..02:49
destructar_so anyway: my frontend wouldn't connect to the backend02:49
destructar_simple as that... i'm at a loss.02:50
destructar_i think it had something to do with mysql so i'm reinstalling... (running mythfilldatabase right now actually)02:50
wilberfanouch.02:50
destructar_not a huge deal... the bigger problem was last night02:50
wilberfani can't help with any problem that someone hasn't already solved for ME...  ;)02:50
destructar_i left my kid with a babysitter and when i came home the computer was froze... weird right?02:51
wilberfanyour kid froze your linux box??02:51
destructar_so I did a hard boot... "fstab error" something or other02:51
wilberfantalented kid!02:51
destructar_couldn't boot! ubuntu cd couldn't even find the hd at first02:51
destructar_no... not talented kid: retarded babysitter02:51
wilberfanyou know MY (feisty) box froze up a couple of times in the last week...02:51
wilberfanbut it always restarted....02:51
destructar_i'm pretty sure she started button mashing02:51
wilberfanshe probably didn't know WHAT to make of the penquin!!02:52
destructar_well anyway, long story short: i had to do a full on reinstall so i lost all my settings, recordings etc. etc.02:52
wilberfanmajor OUCH!02:52
kissellhey, i've been using mythtv for awhile now, and it's all i've ever used...  is mythbuntu different/better?02:53
vbman11so destructar_02:54
OpenMediaAnyone here played with automating MythBuntu installs using preseed or kickstart?02:54
destructar_horryay!!02:54
destructar_everything works now... stupid mysql issue02:55
destructar_now I just have to install my hd antenna and I'll be good to go02:55
destructar_vbman11: what problem are you facing?02:55
vbman11my problem is that my frontend isn't connecting to my backend02:55
destructar_that was my issue as well02:56
destructar_did mythfilldatabase (or whatever the command is) work for you?02:56
destructar_also: this is a fresh install?02:56
vbman11mythfilldatabase=no02:57
vbman11install = kindof02:57
kissellall i want myth to do is be a graphical guide for playing my dvd rips, so it just needs to be a menu for my sql database.  can i get rid of the "backend"?02:57
wilberfananyone remember how to turn off the pip preview?02:57
destructar_vbman11: most likely you're having issues with mysql02:58
wilberfanand more importantly:  is there a new Simpsons tonight?02:58
kisselli want to put my mythweb pages online, but my web host won't let me into the /etc/apache2/conf.d folder, so i can't run the backend there...  but i can upload PHP pages and SQL02:58
destructar_in my case I was able to fill the db with channel info etc... but on running mythfrontend i couldn't get the backend02:58
vbman11destructar_, how did you fix yours02:58
destructar_i removed my database and ran a command, then reinstalled front and backend (via mythbuntu)02:59
destructar_... looking for command02:59
vbman11thanks for the help02:59
destructar_sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database02:59
destructar_are you using mythbuntu?03:00
vbman11yep03:00
destructar_i'm using myhbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.0403:00
vbman11me too03:00
destructar_is this your first install of mythtv? in other words: do you have anything to lose on wiping your db?03:00
destructar_if not do this: load mythbuntu control center03:00
vbman11nothing to lose03:00
destructar_change your system roll by removing front and backend functions03:01
destructar_then open your terminal, connect to mysql and drop your database03:01
destructar_mysql -u USERNAME -p -h localhost03:01
vbman11just a sec03:01
destructar_enter password03:01
destructar_drop database mythconverg;03:02
destructar_then type: exit03:02
destructar_then enter that above command i pasted: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database03:02
destructar_go back to command center, enable primary backend, and also frontend again03:03
destructar_run mythtv setup and go through all that mess again03:03
destructar_then load up mythfrontend and with any luck it will all work for you as it did for me03:03
vbman11/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv-database is broken or not fully installed03:04
vbman11I think that is a problem03:04
MythbuntuGuest87anybody get mythubuntu and dishnetwork STB Serial IR working?03:04
vbman11I'll be back destructar_03:05

Dilligaf63Anyone have any luck getting totem to connect to mythtv???03:23
the[V]oid__Hi! I'm just trying to install Mythbuntu 8.04 and having a problem: When selecting a DVB-DTV-Card (v3.x) as Capture-Device, it is not possible to change (or even set) the DVB Device Number: It's not possible to write anything into the appropriate field!03:24
OpenMediaDilligaf63: I've had it working.03:25
MythbuntuGuest31what's totem?03:25
the[V]oid__please give me a hint =/03:25
Dilligaf63How do you configure totem??03:25
Dilligaf63Totem is a media player03:25
the[V]oid__The device number seems to be set to -1 by default and it's not possible to change it03:26
OpenMediaThere is a guide at Mythbuntu.org03:26
Dilligaf63Do you have a link to the guide? I searched and couldn't find it.03:27
Dilligaf63I setup uname ans password in gconfig-editor, it still won't connect03:27
OpenMediahttp://www.mythbuntu.org/image/tid/903:28
OpenMediafirst hit on google for "Mythbuntu totem"03:28
OpenMediaIs your MySQL server listening on a public address?03:28
Dilligaf63Thanks, I found those pictures and setup accordingly, still won't connect.03:29
Dilligaf63I can connect other frontends to my backend so I assume it is03:29
the[V]oid__nobody knows? =(03:33

kyporanyone get mythtv working using a Hauppauge pvr-350?05:48
darthanubiskypor, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_PVR-35006:22
rhpot1991kypor: what is the problem?06:23
rhpot1991350 should work OOB for capturing06:23
rhpot1991or are you trying to do output on it as well?06:23
shiznothe 350 worked OOB for me, except for the remote in conjunction with a serial ir blaster06:45
shiznois that a known issue?06:45
TazgodXdoes teh PVR-150 have S-Video input?07:35
TazgodXand what about the 350?07:35
shiznowoo, finally got pvr-350 remote working with a serial ir blaster07:59
shiznolast issue is that on reboot my two cards sometimes switch between /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 .. the pvr-350 will be /dev/video0 then on the next reboot it will be /dev/video108:00
hansoffateHey, is there an easy way to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04?08:20
shiznoand that was fixed with... echo 'options ivtv ivtv_first_minor=2' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options08:20
hansoffatewell, i'm going to try the upgrade through the update manager.  hopefully it doesn't break anything.08:25
superm1hansoffate, http://mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes08:30
hansoffatei started the upgrade.  I was just afraid maybe some settings would be lost or something.08:31
hansoffateI haven't checked back at mythbuntu since I got my pvr running.  I really like the looks of the new mythbuntu theme.08:31
superm1well the two gotchas you may or may not run into are detailed on that post, so hopefully nothing else pops up wrong on ya :)08:32
superm1glad you like the new theme08:32

mib_rt1eajhaI have episode limits set in my scheduler to 5 per title.  I was under the impression that the new Undelete feature would move all deleted items to a new recgroup called Deleted.  I only get things in this new group when manually deleteting.  Does the episode limit not work with the new Deleted recgroup feature?16:49
shiznomib: that'd be pretty useful16:59

agamottoHmm, I think I have found some bug in Xchat under Hardy... oh well21:08
agamottoQuestion for those who have worked with digital tuners:21:08
agamottoHow do you tell MythSetup to use 1 analog tuner card, and 1 digital tuner card?21:09
Alowishusset up two capture cards, one analog, one digital... and then two video sources, one made of analog listings and the other of digital?21:15

agamottoI can cofirm that there is some sort of bug with resizing Xchat windows under Hardy...21:18
AlowishusMythbuntuGuest37: just ask21:18
agamottoNot sure, I am a noob here myself21:19
MythbuntuGuest37ok here we go21:19
agamottoAsk away...21:19
MythbuntuGuest37I had the gutsy version all working fine21:19
MythbuntuGuest37including shutting down and booting up from bios21:19
MythbuntuGuest37was very nice21:19
MythbuntuGuest37then before 8.04 i ran some update from the update manager21:20
MythbuntuGuest37as I was told the mythweb was better21:20
MythbuntuGuest37then it started to go wrong from there21:20
MythbuntuGuest37I use mythwelcome21:20
MythbuntuGuest37when it came on to shedual a recording it displayed cannot connect to server21:21
MythbuntuGuest37so I did the check sql21:21
MythbuntuGuest37and it seemed fine21:21
MythbuntuGuest37could connect and shedual recordings fine21:22
MythbuntuGuest37then 2 days latter on next recording it only recorded 2 mins of a program21:22
MythbuntuGuest37so I did an upgrade to 8.04 the other day too see if it helps21:23
MythbuntuGuest37i have read i need to run a script for the sql to convert from 7 to 8  is that right21:23
MythbuntuGuest37or did the upgrade fix that21:24
agamottoYes, the full upgrade should help your problem, but you may need to optimize your SQL tables, I would assume21:24
MythbuntuGuest37from the control panel thing21:24
agamottoThis can be done from Mythbunt control panel under advanced settings, if memory serves21:24
MythbuntuGuest37yeah  i did that21:24
agamottoStill crappola with your recordings?21:25
MythbuntuGuest37well i will have to see if that has helped as the problem is intermitent21:25
MythbuntuGuest37tonight went fine21:25
MythbuntuGuest37i have still got a problem that the font end falls back to desktop after watching tv21:25
agamottoAhhh, check also to see that in your general settings, that you don't have more than 2 processes allowed21:25
agamottoWhat kind of cpu?21:26
MythbuntuGuest37P421:26
MythbuntuGuest37was fine on 721:26
agamottoOk, what speed?21:26
MythbuntuGuest373ghz21:26
MythbuntuGuest37very nice shuttle box21:26
agamottoAhh, that should be fine... Just check your general settings for 2 processes at a time or less21:27
MythbuntuGuest37hmmm   i will21:27
MythbuntuGuest37what about front end crashing?21:27
agamottoI forget where exactly, but in the section where the CPU +, ++, stuff is, turn it back to CPU just to see what happens21:27
MythbuntuGuest37i have read so much on forums so many people say differant stuff21:27
MythbuntuGuest37thanks i did change it21:28
agamottoI am not sure of the front end crashing as I get it on both of my boxen with certain circumstances21:28
MythbuntuGuest37cant remember to what21:28
MythbuntuGuest37it ran so fine under gutsy21:28
agamottoI know that I don't dare run Miro on the box whilst watching telly, bad things happen to the front end21:28
MythbuntuGuest37Miro?21:29
agamottoYah, upgrades aren't always improvements at first... ask a Vista user21:29
MythbuntuGuest37he he21:29
agamottoMiro is a program for net telly... podcasts, etc...21:29
MythbuntuGuest37yeah they are scrapping it now21:29
MythbuntuGuest37vista i meen21:29
MythbuntuGuest37windows 7  now21:29
agamottoWhichever, I stopped at XP and only keep it around for games21:30
MythbuntuGuest37true21:30
agamottoAlowishus:  Any ideas as to a guide for my question?21:30
MythbuntuGuest37what your question?21:30
Alowishusagamotto: wait what was your question?  Are you somehow having trouble setting up the two tuners and/or listing sources?21:31
agamottoYah21:31
MythbuntuGuest37i got a dual tuner21:31
MythbuntuGuest37NOVA-T 50021:31
MythbuntuGuest37works very well21:32
agamottoI have one box with a pvr 150 tuner, and have added a HVR-1800.  Current mythbuntu finds digital card, not sure how to set it up21:32
MythbuntuGuest37hmm  seen alot about PVR 15021:32
agamottopvr-150 works fine, is connected to cable.  I want to use the digital card for over-the-air stations, as it will be connected to a HDTV21:33
MythbuntuGuest37I was realy   bad  I bought the card as I saw lots of support for it21:33
agamottoThe 150 was the only card that would work back when I first made this box ~ 3 years ago21:33
MythbuntuGuest37oooh  long time21:34
Alowishusagamotto: sure, so create a SD lineup for the digital OTA stations in your area21:34
Alowishusagamotto: then connect it to the digital card21:34
MythbuntuGuest37im very new to linux21:34
lanuserWhere can I specify a card and tuner number for a TV card that's not quite recognized?21:34
MythbuntuGuest37but i am proud of what i have done21:34
agamottoGuest37:  That is ok, you have to start somewhere... so far you are doing well with intelligent questions21:35
MythbuntuGuest37he he21:35
agamottoSo you can have two different lineups with SD?21:35
MythbuntuGuest37wish i didnt upgrade it though21:35
MythbuntuGuest37got acpi working so nice21:35
agamottolanuser:  What video card?21:35
lanuserHauppauge WinTV [card=10, tuner=2]21:36
agamottoWhat model?21:36
agamotto150, 300, 1800, 1200?21:36
lanusermuch older than those21:37
agamottocan you give me a clue as to model #?21:37
lanuserI'll try to post it --> http://www.pastebin.ca/100088021:38
lanuserI think it got the card type right but not the tuner?21:39
lanuserdmesg says "[   32.146741] tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])"21:39
MythbuntuGuest37agamotto thanks for the info21:40
MythbuntuGuest37im off to try things21:40
agamottoOk, it is a bt848 card.... search google for 'ivtv tuner option'21:40
agamottoI think you need to add something like the following to your /etc/mythtv/modules.conf21:40
agamottoivtv options tuner=50  that or it is 221:41
agamottoThis manually sets your tuner type, as ivtv sometimes doesn't know which card it has21:41
lanuserI thought it was a bt87821:41
agamottoGuest37:  You are welcome21:41
psicobrahi guys i am trying to copy my avi's to my mythbuntu box where do i copy them so myth tv will see them?21:41
lanuserIs there a modules.conf file somewhere where I could speficy the tuner # ?21:41
MythbuntuGuest37there is a share21:41
agamottolanuser:  Yah, that is the driver that ivtv is trying to use, which sounds correct21:42
MythbuntuGuest37psicobra did you browse to box or try run \\mythtv or what ever your bax is called21:42
MythbuntuGuest37*box21:42
* agamotto points lanuser to the line with /etc/mythtv/modules.conf21:42
psicobrai launch mythtv from start menu i have an external drive with avi movies on it21:43
psicobrajust want to copy to media center box21:43
lanuseragamotto: thanks, that file doesn't exist in 8.04, but I could just safely create it?21:44
agamottoHmmm, something like cp /mnt/usb0 to /var/mythtv/videos/ should work for that... have to check your exact settings21:44
agamottolanuser:  Yep, go ahead and add it21:44
agamottolanuser:  You might need to do sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf21:44
agamottoYou might even get mytharchive to import the files... not sure21:45
agamottoI haven't played with bringing stuff in from other devices that much21:45
lanuseragamotto I'm root already but that file doesn't exist21:46
psicobramytharchive?21:48
agamottoYah, you will want to use a text editor to create it21:48
agamottopsicobra:  It is the new way to burn DVDs, backup your settings, etc...21:49
agamottoI believe there is a way to use MythArchive to import video/data files21:49
agamottolanuser:  Hence, sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf21:50
lanuseragamotto: ok sorry, I just wasn't clear on if the file should already exist or not, thanks21:50
agamottoThat is ok, always better to ask21:51
TazgodXsooo, i have a serial IR blaster. and i set it up in mythbuntu control center, but it wo'nt change channels. do i have to manually enter an external channel change command in mythtv backend setup?21:51
agamottoTazgodX:  Yep, it looks like you are one of the few who has to manually add it....21:52
agamottoTazgodX:  What is the device you are trying to control with it?21:52
psicobradone it path was set wrong21:52
psicobrathanks guys21:52
TazgodXa motorola U-Verse STB21:52
agamottoHmmm, USB or Firewire?21:53
TazgodXit has USB, but its not activated21:53
TazgodXno firewire21:53
agamottoHmmm, call ATT and see if they can activate it... with USB, I think it will do the changing automatically21:53
agamottoIf not, explain to them how they could be losing a customer over it21:54
agamottoDo a google search for the following:  Motorola XXX set-top box mythbuntu irblaster21:54
agamottoHow is the U-verse stuff otherwise?21:54
TazgodXits nice21:55
TazgodXjust wish i could get it working with my mythbox21:55
agamottoI can understand that.  I keep emailing ATT wanting to know when they are bringing it to the Moline, IL. area....21:56

AlowishusI only know what I went through for my HDHomeRun and my PVR-150's... the forums should know more specifics for your 180022:13
agamottoAs an aside, has anyone played with the the encoding options when recording telly.. the mpeg ps, ts, dvd... stuff?22:14
