[00:05] jayshotta: you need to set some keys in gconf there is no ui yet [00:05] ooh ok [00:06] jayshotta: http://mythbuntu.org/node/130 [00:06] Hi, for some reason I have to restart the backend before TV recording (or live tv) will work. (hdhomerun) [00:06] anyone have the new vista mce remote and know how to program the buttons? [00:07] Any idea what could be the issue? [00:07] Otherwise, mythbuntu is working great. [00:08] MythbuntuGuest89: have u checked the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [00:08] tgm4883_laptop: what device is it /dev/irc0 ? [00:08] How do I access gconf [00:09] alt-f2 gconf-editor [00:09] KillerKiwi2005, probably /dev/lirc0, it shows up the same as a MCDUSB2, I actually just need to program the volume and power buttons [00:09] ok [00:09] HDHRChan(ffffffff/0), Error: Unable to send discovery request [00:10] Killerkiwi2005: I suspect that the network is not up and available before the backend starts for some reason [00:10] KillerKiwi2005, it's this remote http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121001 [00:10] tgm4883_laptop: check out irrecord to capture other keys [00:11] MythbuntuGuest89: are you using network manager? [00:11] Im using whatever is the default. I just installed the lastest version of mythbuntu [00:11] KillerKiwi2005, 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 blasting [00:12] ahh i see [00:12] that remote is programable isnt it..... [00:12] yep [00:13] but doesn't conform to the other USBMCE2 commands [00:13] how 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] I never got that working with my mce remote...... didnt try that hard though [00:14] KillerKiwi2005, it works with all my other MCEUSB2 remotes but this remote is different and I lost the manual :( [00:15] tgm4883_laptop: same... i threw the manual out ;) [00:15] * dthacker looks for key commands in the setup menu [00:15] KillerKiwi2005: I guess I'm using network manager, if that is what is in the new version. Should I try something else? [00:15] MythbuntuGuest89: try setting the netwrok connection to be static [00:16] via the network icon in the top right corner, or some other way? [00:16] MythbuntuGuest89: left click on the connection in the tray and click on manual [00:17] MythbuntuGuest89: select your connection and click properties... disable roaming [00:18] MythbuntuGuest89: you will then need to complete the connection details... that will make network connection start at boot instead of after the desktop starts [00:18] Is there a config file that will let me see what keys are mapped to which functions during playback or watching live tv? [00:18] I will try that. Thanks, KillerKiwi. [00:18] dthacker: there is a key setup screen in myth .21 + [00:19] * dthacker checks version [00:19] KillerKiwi2005, dthacker that program is a plugin that is installable [00:19] ahh true [00:20] ... should be there by default ;) [00:20] I have 0.02-20070828 [00:20] dthacker: you can install the plugin from the mythbuntu setup panel [00:20] on the backend or frontend? [00:21] frontend... i would guess [00:21] I keep getting symbolic link error in mythweb when I click on videos [00:23] I just ran through setup. TV Settings, I don't see anywhere that I can install anything [00:23] in in control center [00:24] go to ur start menu > system > control center [00:24] tgm4883_laptop: what package is the key setup plugin in ? [00:25] KillerKiwi2005, sec [00:25] if u wanna set kets thats in frontend go to setup [00:26] yea mythkeys or something [00:26] yup [00:27] I start frontend. I select setup. I have 3 options Appearance, General, and TV Settings [00:27] how do you make xrandr commands permanite? [00:28] tgm4883_laptop: there is no mythkeys [00:29] hmm [00:29] sec [00:30] is it mythcontrols? [00:31] none of this stuff shows up in the menus.... [00:33] * dthacker rummages around in .mythtv for a keymap file.... [00:35] dthacker, lircrc [00:36] tgm4883_laptop: this is a frontend only and that file does not exist [00:37] dthacker, ~/.mythtv/lircrc [00:37] nope. not there. [00:38] strange [00:38] did you use mcc to set the remote up? [00:38] It looks like /home/dthacker/.mythtv has a mysql file and two subdirs full of theme files. [00:38] I used adept [00:39] what is mcc? [00:39] mythbuntu-control-centre [00:40] does that load with the front-end package? What's the package name? [00:40] the package name is [00:40] wait for it [00:41] just a sec [00:41] mythbuntu-control-centre [00:41] ;) [00:43] nope. 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] should I install mcc on a frontend only machine? [00:44] I don't see why not [00:44] ok, let's see what happens... [00:45] what is the screen resolution app called in the command line? [00:48] ok, mcc is installed but it doesn't seen to have put itself on a menu anywhere.... [00:49] hi everyone i'm having a problem with mythtv [00:49] join the clug [00:50] club [00:50] when I select "Watch tv" in the main menu the screen just flickers [00:50] dthacker, start mythbuntu-control-center either from the front end or from the command line [00:51] k [00:51] tgm4883_laptop: restarting front end [00:52] mcc is up [00:52] ohh, nevermind [00:53] tgm4883_laptop: ok at the mcc main menu [00:53] so, does anyone know how to fix my problem [00:54] v_ pastebin your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [00:54] just a sec [00:55] enable mythcontrols plugin? [00:56] do you want me to put the whole file up? [00:56] !pastebin | v_ [00:56] v_: 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) [01:04] I found the keys edit, but I don't see a way to map Picture Adjustments [01:04] F is still not working [01:05] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64784/ [01:05] sorry it took so long [01:07] I just copied the first part because it is the same story throughout [01:07] v_, looks like your db password may be incorret [01:08] dthacker, picture adjustments? [01:08] It's set as control G [01:08] woot! [01:09] is there anyway to reset or figureout what is the correct one [01:09] v_, /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [01:11] it is 7T4aWscr [01:11] looks correct [01:12] Hi! Using mythtv with dvb-s on Astra 19,2E...does mythtv get epg automatically? [01:13] Just installed mythbuntu hardy... [01:13] :-) [01:13] but i'm not seeing where to point it to my downloaded (ie, not recorded) videos... [01:14] and i'm not getting any "watch videos" option on the frontend... (just "watch recordings") [01:15] hi all... i'm having some very irritating issues with mythbuntu... frontend is unable to connect to mysql db [01:15] i keep getting "you probably should modify the master server settings in the setup program and set the proper ip address" [01:16] wilberfan: do you have mythmovie installed? [01:16] searching on google seems to suggest that I'm attempting to run frontend remotely, but I'm not. I'm running a backend and frontend server [01:16] wilberfan:or mythvideo [01:16] v_, [whistles] good question! [01:17] check in the control center [01:17] just what i was gonna ask... [01:17] lemme check... [01:17] brb [01:17] NONE of my plugins are checked (except mythweb) [01:18] scratch 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] v_, what is "mythcontrols"? [01:18] v_, and should I select any (or all) of the "Media Playback Applications"? [01:19] MPlayer? Xine? VLC? [01:19] is that telling it to use one--or just installing some or all...? [01:21] sorry i had to leave my comp for a sec [01:22] you should just have to install mythvideo, you might have to install VLC [01:24] ok...i've got it pointed to the right folder, etc... but it won't play any of the videos... [01:25] do you have VLC, MPlayer or Xine installed? [01:25] adding vlc and xine and MPlayer now.. [01:25] :-| [01:25] I guess they're the ones that play .avi's n' such? [01:26] yea [01:26] does mythhardy do anything different/better than mythgutsy? [01:26] hardy boots faster [01:26] so i know what to look for...? [01:26] and is more stable [01:27] and is newer [01:27] :P [01:27] ok, lemme try this video playback again... [01:28] I now have HardyPr0n! :-D [01:29] It works? [01:29] the .avi playback stuff, yeah... :) [01:29] cool [01:29] i recording something last night (on the separate recording partition) under Feisty...is there any way to make hardy see that recording?? [01:29] can you watch live tv [01:30] yep [01:30] don't know if the Hauppage remote works yet, though... [01:30] I'm gonna have to wrestle with the xorg next... :-O [01:30] when you set up myth, did you use a tutorial? [01:30] you mean the first time? or this time...? [01:31] first time [01:31] wow...i think it was a combination of trying stuff that made sense...and some helpful types in here! [01:31] i can't really remember exactly... [01:32] could you take a look at my backend log file [01:32] i know it was channel help that helped the most... [01:32] ME? oh, dude...i'm pretty n00b! I'm not sure i'd have any idea what i was seeing! [01:32] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64784/ [01:33] just as i thought: i have no idea what i'm looking at! [01:33] well take a look, when I click "Watch TV" my screen just flashes [01:34] i DO remember that nothing worked right until I got the permissions correct on the recording partition... [01:35] in my case: "sudo chown mythtv:mythtv -R /where/recording/partis" [01:35] i think the "mythtv:mythtv" was crucial? [01:35] good Idea!!! [01:35] it made ALL the diff.... [01:37] still doesn't work [01:37] this will sound n00b, but have you rebooted? [01:38] (yes, my old Windoze habits!) [01:38] do you know how to restart the backend [01:38] chmod 777 the folder [01:38] tried that [01:38] chmod -R 777 the folder [01:38] that too [01:38] wonder if i need to do that? [01:39] do you know how to restart the backend [01:39] jayshotta [01:39] let me check [01:39] thnks [01:39] *thanks* [01:40] sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart [01:41] jayshotta this is my problem: [01:41] when I select "Watch tv" in the main menu the screen just flickers [01:41] brb [01:41] what card are u using [01:42] sabrent saa7130 [01:42] can pvr-xxx's record over analog and svideo at the same time? [01:42] works in TV time [01:42] rhpot1991: no idea, sorry [01:42] no that I kno of only pvr 500 [01:43] rhpot1991 never heard of that card [01:43] may not be supported [01:44] jayshotta: but in tvtime the "TELEVISION" and "COMPOSITE 2" are switched [01:48] jayshotta: this is my forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769435 [01:48] ima check [01:48] ? [01:53] Hi, 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... [01:54] (conflict) [01:58] hmm..my first test recording hesitated every second or so.... [02:00] jayshotta, can you figure out anything [02:02] anyone remember how to turn off the pip preview? that caused a lot of problems for me under gutsy... [02:03] I haven't even gotten myth tv to work yet [02:05] wilberfan: i'm going to just restart my comp. See you in a couple of minutes [02:09] i'm back! [02:14] and we missed you! [02:17] thanks [02:18] it still doesn't work [02:19] I think I should mention that I installed mythbuntu on top of ubuntu [02:19] vbman11, i did, too... [02:19] ok [02:19] (I had no idea pidgin could be used for irc....) [02:20] vbman11, what's no working? [02:20] t [02:21] when I click "watch tv" the screen just flickers [02:21] did you have anything you had to with mysql [02:21] besides just installing [02:22] vbman11, no...i didn't do anything specific with mysql [02:23] no database setup [02:23] i didn't do anything specific, no... [02:23] ok [02:23] you're frontend and backend are the same machine? [02:23] yep [02:23] your [02:24] yeah, same here... [02:24] are you able to record anything? [02:24] and then playback? [02:24] just a sec [02:26] I will know at 7:31 [02:27] vbman11, is that an hour from now...or a minute from now...? ;-) [02:27] 4 minutes [02:27] 3 minutes [02:28] mountain standard time, no doubt! [02:28] yep [02:29] L.A. here... [02:29] cool [02:29] not today, it wasn't! ;) [02:29] ha [02:29] ha [02:29] un minuto! [02:31] should be done [02:31] Hi, 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... [02:31] (conflict) [02:31] should i be concerned about the message "no upnp backends found" when trying to run mythtv setup? [02:32] yes...kind of [02:32] what does it mean? [02:33] I'm not quite sure, sry [02:33] wilberfan: It says that there are on recording [02:33] s [02:34] *no recordings* [02:35] vbman11, not a good sign, huh.... [02:36] i'm no where near experienced enough with this to help at this point.... [02:36] :-| [02:36] is there anyone else that can help? [02:37] vbman11: are you sure backend is running? [02:40] destructar_, how does one verify that? (just curious) [02:41] one sec [02:41] ps -p `cat /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid` [02:42] from terminal of course [02:42] wow... impressive! [02:43] "process ID list syntax error" [02:44] have to do it as root, huh...? [02:44] PID 5776! :) [02:45] i don't think you have to do it as root... shouldn't have to [02:45] how come it doesn't show up in the System Monitor? [02:45] you used ` instead of ' right? [02:45] ` = backtick [02:45] on the end? probably not... [02:46] the part that is in quotes is actually backquotes (or backticks if you're a moron like me) [02:46] i had no idea that's what that character was! it worked fine when i used it... [02:47] any idea why the backend doesn't show up in the system monitor?? [02:47] it shows up on command line right? [02:47] wait...it DOES show up in system monitor...if you display ALL processes.... [02:47] View/all processes [02:48] i came in late to your problem... what issue are you having? [02:48] Me? I'm not, at this point... :) [02:48] oh gotcha [02:48] vbman11 is having one, though.... [02:49] my issues tonight are frustrating... [02:49] i just installed hardy today... finally got myth up and running... [02:49] :-D [02:49] installed mythbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.04... [02:49] ditto [02:49] that's what i'm attempting to do yea.. [02:49] so anyway: my frontend wouldn't connect to the backend [02:50] simple as that... i'm at a loss. [02:50] i think it had something to do with mysql so i'm reinstalling... (running mythfilldatabase right now actually) [02:50] ouch. [02:50] not a huge deal... the bigger problem was last night [02:50] i can't help with any problem that someone hasn't already solved for ME... ;) [02:51] i left my kid with a babysitter and when i came home the computer was froze... weird right? [02:51] your kid froze your linux box?? [02:51] so I did a hard boot... "fstab error" something or other [02:51] talented kid! [02:51] couldn't boot! ubuntu cd couldn't even find the hd at first [02:51] no... not talented kid: retarded babysitter [02:51] you know MY (feisty) box froze up a couple of times in the last week... [02:51] but it always restarted.... [02:51] i'm pretty sure she started button mashing [02:52] she probably didn't know WHAT to make of the penquin!! [02:52] well anyway, long story short: i had to do a full on reinstall so i lost all my settings, recordings etc. etc. [02:52] major OUCH! [02:53] hey, i've been using mythtv for awhile now, and it's all i've ever used... is mythbuntu different/better? [02:54] so destructar_ [02:54] Anyone here played with automating MythBuntu installs using preseed or kickstart? [02:54] horryay!! [02:55] everything works now... stupid mysql issue [02:55] now I just have to install my hd antenna and I'll be good to go [02:55] vbman11: what problem are you facing? [02:55] my problem is that my frontend isn't connecting to my backend [02:56] that was my issue as well [02:56] did mythfilldatabase (or whatever the command is) work for you? [02:56] also: this is a fresh install? [02:57] mythfilldatabase=no [02:57] install = kindof [02:57] all 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] anyone remember how to turn off the pip preview? [02:58] vbman11: most likely you're having issues with mysql [02:58] and more importantly: is there a new Simpsons tonight? [02:58] i 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 SQL [02:58] in my case I was able to fill the db with channel info etc... but on running mythfrontend i couldn't get the backend [02:58] destructar_, how did you fix yours [02:59] i removed my database and ran a command, then reinstalled front and backend (via mythbuntu) [02:59] ... looking for command [02:59] thanks for the help [02:59] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [03:00] are you using mythbuntu? [03:00] yep [03:00] i'm using myhbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.04 [03:00] me too [03:00] is this your first install of mythtv? in other words: do you have anything to lose on wiping your db? [03:00] if not do this: load mythbuntu control center [03:00] nothing to lose [03:01] change your system roll by removing front and backend functions [03:01] then open your terminal, connect to mysql and drop your database [03:01] mysql -u USERNAME -p -h localhost [03:01] just a sec [03:01] enter password [03:02] drop database mythconverg; [03:02] then type: exit [03:02] then enter that above command i pasted: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [03:03] go back to command center, enable primary backend, and also frontend again [03:03] run mythtv setup and go through all that mess again [03:03] then load up mythfrontend and with any luck it will all work for you as it did for me [03:04] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv-database is broken or not fully installed [03:04] I think that is a problem [03:04] anybody get mythubuntu and dishnetwork STB Serial IR working? [03:05] I'll be back destructar_ [03:05] vbman11: did you install mythbuntu with synaptic? if not then you should do that right now [03:06] how do i go from knoppmyth to mythbuntu and keep my recorded programs? [03:07] vbman11: also i think i told you something backwards: reload front and backend before running dpkg-reconfigure [03:08] ohh! [03:09] just a sec [03:13] test [03:13] anybody get IRblaster working for dishnetwork on mythbuntu 8.04 [03:16] IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [03:16] Thanks destructar! [03:16] awesome :) [03:16] did you have to run dpkg-reconfigure ? [03:17] yep [03:17] my pvr-350 remote stops working if i enable lirc for my serial irblaster.. has anyone gotten this combination to work? [03:17] I'm not quite sure what fixed it [03:19] now I have another problem! [03:19] it sounds like we both had the same issue. I'm not really sure what caused or fixed it [03:19] what is it? [03:19] television and composite 2 inputs are switched [03:20] my card is a sabrent saa71300000 [03:20] can't help on that one [03:20] i use hdhomerun [03:20] I'll try google. but thanks for the help with mythtv! [03:22] np [03:23] Anyone have any luck getting totem to connect to mythtv??? [03:24] 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! [03:25] Dilligaf63: I've had it working. [03:25] what's totem? [03:25] please give me a hint =/ [03:25] How do you configure totem?? [03:25] Totem is a media player [03:26] The device number seems to be set to -1 by default and it's not possible to change it [03:26] There is a guide at Mythbuntu.org [03:27] Do you have a link to the guide? I searched and couldn't find it. [03:27] I setup uname ans password in gconfig-editor, it still won't connect [03:28] http://www.mythbuntu.org/image/tid/9 [03:28] first hit on google for "Mythbuntu totem" [03:28] Is your MySQL server listening on a public address? [03:29] Thanks, I found those pictures and setup accordingly, still won't connect. [03:29] I can connect other frontends to my backend so I assume it is [03:33] nobody knows? =( [03:54] Dilligaf63: Hmm not sure then [03:55] * rhpot1991 is tempted to get a cloudbook instead of replacing his laptop battery [05:40] hi i just installed mythbuntu 8.04 on a computer as just a backend now i am trying to install just a frontend on another computer i am at step 11 mythtv related passwords i have enter the what is in the mysql.txt and it giving a connection results: failure. can someone please help me [05:48] anyone get mythtv working using a Hauppauge pvr-350? [06:22] kypor, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_PVR-350 [06:23] kypor: what is the problem? [06:23] 350 should work OOB for capturing [06:23] or are you trying to do output on it as well? [06:45] the 350 worked OOB for me, except for the remote in conjunction with a serial ir blaster [06:45] is that a known issue? [07:35] does teh PVR-150 have S-Video input? [07:35] and what about the 350? [07:59] woo, finally got pvr-350 remote working with a serial ir blaster [08:00] last 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/video1 [08:20] Hey, is there an easy way to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? [08:20] and that was fixed with... echo 'options ivtv ivtv_first_minor=2' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options [08:25] well, i'm going to try the upgrade through the update manager. hopefully it doesn't break anything. [08:30] hansoffate, http://mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes [08:31] i started the upgrade. I was just afraid maybe some settings would be lost or something. [08:31] I haven't checked back at mythbuntu since I got my pvr running. I really like the looks of the new mythbuntu theme. [08:32] well 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] glad you like the new theme [08:52] is weekly builds for hardy built from the trunk? [12:20] I've just installed mythbuntu 804 and I have my EPG configured and can watch tv, but I cannot set anything for record, is there anything obvious I should be checking, apart from the logs [12:42] hi, I have a nova-t-500 and it works randomly. In dmesg I get lots of this [90118.453225] mt2060 I2C read failed [12:42] [90118.461172] mt2060 I2C read failed [12:42] [168939.965145] longhaul: Warning: Timeout while waiting for idle PCI bus. [13:14] can anyone please tell me how to edit my picture settings (for watching TV) as it is slow and bleached out. [13:35] anybody? [15:47] hi @ all === HeMan is now known as HeMan|away [16:49] I 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? [16:59] mib: that'd be pretty useful [17:00] It is in 0.21 and is a great t. === HeMan|away is now known as HeMan [18:46] excuse me, if i run the mythbuntu-lircrc-generator script it creates an empty .lircrc file. What shall I do? Should i run it in some different way? [18:54] Any ideas why I cant see my mythtv shares via Network on ubunut but I an see it when I explore entire network on windows ? [19:14] sidelil: i'm a newb to mythbuntu but i think the intention is to setup lirc via the MCC [19:14] shizno, how? My remote is not in the list... [19:16] shizno, actually many keys on my remote are already working, like the arrows, but I dont know how to setup the other keys. Any idea? [19:25] how do i set what the default card will be when 'Watch TV' is chosen? [19:36] why does mythtv keep defaulting to my HD card when i go into live tv? [19:37] it is set as card #3 [19:37] hmmm, well i can't get coax from a U-Verse STB to a PVR-350 to work, but i got S-Video to work... [20:01] Any ideas why I cant see my mythtv shares via Network on ubunut but I an see it when I explore entire network on windows ? === MythbuntuGuest60 is now known as shane-kerr [20:46] Hello. What does "Scheduled 348 items in 2.3 = 0.03 match + 2.24 place" in the log mean when i shedule recordings? [20:46] And LAMC / LMSC in LiveTV? :) I know what the C stands for... and L... lock? [20:51] Ok, now that that is back to order.... [20:52] Anyone willing to help with digital tuner questions? [20:55] JUST ASK [20:55] *sigh* [21:03] Hello - nice work on 8.04 folks, it's goergeous and had to be the easiest Linux install I've ever done! [21:08] Hmm, I think I have found some bug in Xchat under Hardy... oh well [21:08] Question for those who have worked with digital tuners: [21:09] How do you tell MythSetup to use 1 analog tuner card, and 1 digital tuner card? [21:15] set up two capture cards, one analog, one digital... and then two video sources, one made of analog listings and the other of digital? [21:17] hello anyone here [21:18] I am here [21:18] Alowishus: Yes [21:18] howdy [21:18] Hello - nobody but us chickens in here... [21:18] who is good to ask about mythbuntu problems [21:18] I can cofirm that there is some sort of bug with resizing Xchat windows under Hardy... [21:18] MythbuntuGuest37: just ask [21:19] Not sure, I am a noob here myself [21:19] ok here we go [21:19] Ask away... [21:19] I had the gutsy version all working fine [21:19] including shutting down and booting up from bios [21:19] was very nice [21:20] then before 8.04 i ran some update from the update manager [21:20] as I was told the mythweb was better [21:20] then it started to go wrong from there [21:20] I use mythwelcome [21:21] when it came on to shedual a recording it displayed cannot connect to server [21:21] so I did the check sql [21:21] and it seemed fine [21:22] could connect and shedual recordings fine [21:22] then 2 days latter on next recording it only recorded 2 mins of a program [21:23] so I did an upgrade to 8.04 the other day too see if it helps [21:23] i have read i need to run a script for the sql to convert from 7 to 8 is that right [21:24] or did the upgrade fix that [21:24] Yes, the full upgrade should help your problem, but you may need to optimize your SQL tables, I would assume [21:24] from the control panel thing [21:24] This can be done from Mythbunt control panel under advanced settings, if memory serves [21:24] yeah i did that [21:25] Still crappola with your recordings? [21:25] well i will have to see if that has helped as the problem is intermitent [21:25] tonight went fine [21:25] i have still got a problem that the font end falls back to desktop after watching tv [21:25] Ahhh, check also to see that in your general settings, that you don't have more than 2 processes allowed [21:26] What kind of cpu? [21:26] P4 [21:26] was fine on 7 [21:26] Ok, what speed? [21:26] 3ghz [21:26] very nice shuttle box [21:27] Ahh, that should be fine... Just check your general settings for 2 processes at a time or less [21:27] hmmm i will [21:27] what about front end crashing? [21:27] I forget where exactly, but in the section where the CPU +, ++, stuff is, turn it back to CPU just to see what happens [21:27] i have read so much on forums so many people say differant stuff [21:28] thanks i did change it [21:28] I am not sure of the front end crashing as I get it on both of my boxen with certain circumstances [21:28] cant remember to what [21:28] it ran so fine under gutsy [21:28] I know that I don't dare run Miro on the box whilst watching telly, bad things happen to the front end [21:29] Miro? [21:29] Yah, upgrades aren't always improvements at first... ask a Vista user [21:29] he he [21:29] Miro is a program for net telly... podcasts, etc... [21:29] yeah they are scrapping it now [21:29] vista i meen [21:29] windows 7 now [21:30] Whichever, I stopped at XP and only keep it around for games [21:30] true [21:30] Alowishus: Any ideas as to a guide for my question? [21:30] what your question? [21:31] agamotto: wait what was your question? Are you somehow having trouble setting up the two tuners and/or listing sources? [21:31] Yah [21:31] i got a dual tuner [21:31] NOVA-T 500 [21:32] works very well [21:32] I 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 up [21:32] hmm seen alot about PVR 150 [21:33] pvr-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 HDTV [21:33] I was realy bad I bought the card as I saw lots of support for it [21:33] The 150 was the only card that would work back when I first made this box ~ 3 years ago [21:34] oooh long time [21:34] agamotto: sure, so create a SD lineup for the digital OTA stations in your area [21:34] agamotto: then connect it to the digital card [21:34] im very new to linux [21:34] Where can I specify a card and tuner number for a TV card that's not quite recognized? [21:34] but i am proud of what i have done [21:35] Guest37: That is ok, you have to start somewhere... so far you are doing well with intelligent questions [21:35] he he [21:35] So you can have two different lineups with SD? [21:35] wish i didnt upgrade it though [21:35] got acpi working so nice [21:35] lanuser: What video card? [21:36] Hauppauge WinTV [card=10, tuner=2] [21:36] What model? [21:36] 150, 300, 1800, 1200? [21:37] much older than those [21:37] can you give me a clue as to model #? [21:38] I'll try to post it --> http://www.pastebin.ca/1000880 [21:39] I think it got the card type right but not the tuner? [21:39] dmesg says "[ 32.146741] tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])" [21:40] agamotto thanks for the info [21:40] im off to try things [21:40] Ok, it is a bt848 card.... search google for 'ivtv tuner option' [21:40] I think you need to add something like the following to your /etc/mythtv/modules.conf [21:41] ivtv options tuner=50 that or it is 2 [21:41] This manually sets your tuner type, as ivtv sometimes doesn't know which card it has [21:41] I thought it was a bt878 [21:41] Guest37: You are welcome [21:41] hi 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] Is there a modules.conf file somewhere where I could speficy the tuner # ? [21:41] there is a share [21:42] lanuser: Yah, that is the driver that ivtv is trying to use, which sounds correct [21:42] psicobra did you browse to box or try run \\mythtv or what ever your bax is called [21:42] *box [21:42] * agamotto points lanuser to the line with /etc/mythtv/modules.conf [21:43] i launch mythtv from start menu i have an external drive with avi movies on it [21:43] just want to copy to media center box [21:44] agamotto: thanks, that file doesn't exist in 8.04, but I could just safely create it? [21:44] Hmmm, something like cp /mnt/usb0 to /var/mythtv/videos/ should work for that... have to check your exact settings [21:44] lanuser: Yep, go ahead and add it [21:44] lanuser: You might need to do sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf [21:45] You might even get mytharchive to import the files... not sure [21:45] I haven't played with bringing stuff in from other devices that much [21:46] agamotto I'm root already but that file doesn't exist [21:48] mytharchive? [21:48] Yah, you will want to use a text editor to create it [21:49] psicobra: It is the new way to burn DVDs, backup your settings, etc... [21:49] I believe there is a way to use MythArchive to import video/data files [21:50] lanuser: Hence, sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf [21:50] agamotto: ok sorry, I just wasn't clear on if the file should already exist or not, thanks [21:51] That is ok, always better to ask [21:51] sooo, 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? [21:52] TazgodX: Yep, it looks like you are one of the few who has to manually add it.... [21:52] TazgodX: What is the device you are trying to control with it? [21:52] done it path was set wrong [21:52] thanks guys [21:52] a motorola U-Verse STB [21:53] Hmmm, USB or Firewire? [21:53] it has USB, but its not activated [21:53] no firewire [21:53] Hmmm, call ATT and see if they can activate it... with USB, I think it will do the changing automatically [21:54] If not, explain to them how they could be losing a customer over it [21:54] Do a google search for the following: Motorola XXX set-top box mythbuntu irblaster [21:54] How is the U-verse stuff otherwise? [21:55] its nice [21:55] just wish i could get it working with my mythbox [21:56] I can understand that. I keep emailing ATT wanting to know when they are bringing it to the Moline, IL. area.... [21:56] I am tired of being teased by the mail flyers.... [21:56] im in Hanover Park IL [21:56] just came out [21:56] Feh... figures Chitown first.... [21:56] I need help with vnc. I have reconfigured it, but I can't connect to the vnc server. and I can't see it running when I take ps aux | grep vnc [21:57] haha [21:57] actually its not out in the city [21:57] just the burbs of the city [21:57] :) [21:57] Ahhh, they are going for the snooty neighbors first.... grrr [21:57] <[diablo]> evening all [21:58] <[diablo]> guys does anyone know which script needs to be executed please to prep the backend mysql db?

[22:13] agamotto: ah ok... you figured out how to do a second lineup in SD yes? [22:13] Yes, but still not sure about the tuner setup, etc... [22:13] I only know what I went through for my HDHomeRun and my PVR-150's... the forums should know more specifics for your 1800 [22:14] As an aside, has anyone played with the the encoding options when recording telly.. the mpeg ps, ts, dvd... stuff? [22:14] Alowishus: I might do the HomeRun once the conversion is 'complete' [22:15] I just don't have a way to hook anything up with ethernet in this house... next one will be solving those problems [22:16] I love older homes, but trying to do rewiring without destroying the plaster....grrr [22:25] Well, I must away...
