[00:05] <KillerKiwi2005> jayshotta: you need to set some keys in gconf there is no ui yet
[00:05] <jayshotta> ooh ok
[00:06] <KillerKiwi2005> jayshotta: http://mythbuntu.org/node/130
[00:06] <MythbuntuGuest89> Hi, for some reason I have to restart the backend before TV recording (or live tv) will work. (hdhomerun)
[00:06] <tgm4883_laptop> anyone have the new vista mce remote and know how to program the buttons?
[00:07] <MythbuntuGuest89> Any idea what could be the issue?
[00:07] <MythbuntuGuest89> Otherwise, mythbuntu is working great.
[00:08] <KillerKiwi2005> MythbuntuGuest89: have u checked the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[00:08] <KillerKiwi2005> tgm4883_laptop: what device is it /dev/irc0 ?
[00:08] <jayshotta> How do I access gconf
[00:09] <KillerKiwi2005> alt-f2  gconf-editor
[00:09] <tgm4883_laptop> 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] <jayshotta> ok
[00:09] <MythbuntuGuest89>  HDHRChan(ffffffff/0), Error: Unable to send discovery request
[00:10] <MythbuntuGuest89> Killerkiwi2005: I suspect that the network is not up and available before the backend starts for some reason
[00:10] <tgm4883_laptop> KillerKiwi2005, it's this remote  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121001
[00:10] <KillerKiwi2005> tgm4883_laptop: check out irrecord to capture other keys
[00:11] <KillerKiwi2005> MythbuntuGuest89: are you using network manager?
[00:11] <MythbuntuGuest89> Im using whatever is the default.  I just installed the lastest version of mythbuntu
[00:11] <tgm4883_laptop> 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] <KillerKiwi2005> ahh i see
[00:12] <KillerKiwi2005> that remote is programable isnt it.....
[00:12] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[00:13] <tgm4883_laptop> but doesn't conform to the other USBMCE2 commands
[00:13] <dthacker> 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] <KillerKiwi2005> I never got that working with my mce remote...... didnt try that hard though
[00:14] <tgm4883_laptop> KillerKiwi2005, it works with all my other MCEUSB2 remotes but this remote is different and I lost the manual :(
[00:15] <KillerKiwi2005> tgm4883_laptop: same... i threw the manual out ;)
[00:15]  * dthacker looks for key commands in the setup menu
[00:15] <MythbuntuGuest89> KillerKiwi2005: I guess I'm using network manager, if that is what is in the new version.  Should I try something else?
[00:15] <KillerKiwi2005> MythbuntuGuest89: try setting the netwrok connection to be static
[00:16] <MythbuntuGuest89> via the network icon in the top right corner, or some other way?
[00:16] <KillerKiwi2005> MythbuntuGuest89: left click on the connection in the tray and click on manual
[00:17] <KillerKiwi2005> MythbuntuGuest89: select your connection and click properties... disable roaming
[00:18] <KillerKiwi2005> 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] <dthacker> 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] <MythbuntuGuest89> I will try that.  Thanks, KillerKiwi.
[00:18] <KillerKiwi2005> dthacker: there is a key setup screen in myth .21 +
[00:19]  * dthacker checks version
[00:19] <tgm4883_laptop> KillerKiwi2005, dthacker that program is a plugin that is installable
[00:19] <KillerKiwi2005> ahh true
[00:20] <KillerKiwi2005> ... should be there by default ;)
[00:20] <dthacker> I have 0.02-20070828
[00:20] <KillerKiwi2005> dthacker: you can install the plugin from the mythbuntu setup panel
[00:20] <dthacker> on the backend or frontend?
[00:21] <KillerKiwi2005> frontend... i would guess
[00:21] <jayshotta> I keep getting symbolic link error in mythweb when I click on videos
[00:23] <dthacker> I just ran through setup.  TV Settings, I don't see anywhere that I can install anything
[00:23] <jayshotta> in in control center
[00:24] <jayshotta> go to ur start menu > system > control center
[00:24] <KillerKiwi2005> tgm4883_laptop: what package is the key setup plugin in ?
[00:25] <tgm4883_laptop> KillerKiwi2005, sec
[00:25] <jayshotta> if u wanna set kets thats in frontend go to setup
[00:26] <tgm4883_laptop> yea mythkeys or something
[00:26] <jayshotta> yup
[00:27] <dthacker> I start frontend.  I select setup.  I have 3 options   Appearance, General, and TV Settings
[00:27] <tgm4883_laptop> how do you make xrandr commands permanite?
[00:28] <KillerKiwi2005> tgm4883_laptop: there is no mythkeys
[00:29] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[00:29] <tgm4883_laptop> sec
[00:30] <KillerKiwi2005> is it mythcontrols?
[00:31] <dthacker> none of this stuff shows up in the menus....
[00:33]  * dthacker rummages around in .mythtv for a keymap file....
[00:35] <tgm4883_laptop> dthacker, lircrc
[00:36] <dthacker> tgm4883_laptop: this is a frontend only and that file does not exist
[00:37] <tgm4883_laptop> dthacker, ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[00:37] <dthacker> nope. not there.
[00:38] <tgm4883_laptop> strange
[00:38] <tgm4883_laptop> did you use mcc to set the remote up?
[00:38] <dthacker> It looks like /home/dthacker/.mythtv has a mysql file and two subdirs full of theme files.
[00:38] <dthacker> I used adept
[00:39] <dthacker> what is mcc?
[00:39] <tgm4883_laptop> mythbuntu-control-centre
[00:40] <dthacker> does that load with the front-end package?  What's the package name?
[00:40] <tgm4883_laptop> the package name is
[00:40] <tgm4883_laptop> wait for it
[00:41] <tgm4883_laptop> just a sec
[00:41] <tgm4883_laptop> mythbuntu-control-centre
[00:41] <tgm4883_laptop> ;)
[00:43] <dthacker> 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] <dthacker> should I install mcc on a frontend only machine?
[00:44] <tgm4883_laptop> I don't see why not
[00:44] <dthacker> ok, let's see what happens...
[00:45] <tgm4883_laptop> what is the screen resolution app called in the command line?
[00:48] <dthacker> ok, mcc is installed but it doesn't seen to have put itself on a menu anywhere....
[00:49] <v_> hi everyone i'm having a problem with mythtv
[00:49] <dthacker> join the clug
[00:50] <dthacker> club
[00:50] <v_> when I select "Watch tv" in the main menu the screen just flickers
[00:50] <tgm4883_laptop> dthacker, start mythbuntu-control-center either from the front end or from the command line
[00:51] <v_> k
[00:51] <dthacker> tgm4883_laptop: restarting front end
[00:52] <v_> mcc is up
[00:52] <v_> ohh, nevermind
[00:53] <dthacker> tgm4883_laptop: ok at the mcc main menu
[00:53] <v_> so, does anyone know how to fix my problem
[00:54] <tgm4883_laptop> v_ pastebin your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[00:54] <v_> just a sec
[00:55] <dthacker> enable mythcontrols plugin?
[00:56] <v_> do you want me to put the whole file up?
[00:56] <tgm4883_laptop> !pastebin | v_
[00:56] <ubotu> 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] <dthacker> I found the keys edit, but I don't see a way to map Picture Adjustments
[01:04] <dthacker> F is still not working
[01:05] <v_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64784/
[01:05] <v_> sorry it took so long
[01:07] <v_> I just copied the first part because it is the same story throughout
[01:07] <tgm4883_laptop> v_, looks like your db password may be incorret
[01:08] <tgm4883_laptop> dthacker, picture adjustments?
[01:08] <dthacker> It's set as control G
[01:08] <dthacker> woot!
[01:09] <v_> is there anyway to reset or figureout what is the correct one
[01:09] <tgm4883_laptop> v_, /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[01:11] <v_> it is 7T4aWscr
[01:11] <v_> looks correct
[01:12] <replman> Hi! Using mythtv with dvb-s on Astra 19,2E...does mythtv get epg automatically?
[01:13] <wilberfan> Just installed mythbuntu hardy...
[01:13] <wilberfan> :-)
[01:13] <wilberfan> but i'm not seeing where to point it to my downloaded (ie, not recorded) videos...
[01:14] <wilberfan> and i'm not getting any "watch videos" option on the frontend... (just "watch recordings")
[01:15] <destructar> hi all... i'm having some very irritating issues with mythbuntu... frontend is unable to connect to mysql db
[01:15] <destructar> i keep getting "you probably should modify the master server settings in the setup program and set the proper ip address"
[01:16] <v_> wilberfan: do you have mythmovie installed?
[01:16] <destructar> 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] <v_> wilberfan:or mythvideo
[01:16] <wilberfan> v_, [whistles] good question!
[01:17] <v_> check in the control center
[01:17] <wilberfan> just what i was gonna ask...
[01:17] <wilberfan> lemme check...
[01:17] <wilberfan> brb
[01:17] <wilberfan> NONE of my plugins are checked (except mythweb)
[01:18] <destructar> 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] <wilberfan> v_, what is "mythcontrols"?
[01:18] <wilberfan> v_, and should I select any (or all) of the "Media Playback Applications"?
[01:19] <wilberfan> MPlayer?  Xine?  VLC?
[01:19] <wilberfan> is that telling it to use one--or just installing some or all...?
[01:21] <v_> sorry i had to leave my comp for a sec
[01:22] <v_> you should just have to install mythvideo, you might have to install VLC
[01:24] <wilberfan> ok...i've got it pointed to the right folder, etc...  but it won't play any of the videos...
[01:25] <v_> do you have VLC, MPlayer or Xine installed?
[01:25] <wilberfan> adding vlc and xine and MPlayer now..
[01:25] <wilberfan> :-|
[01:25] <wilberfan> I guess they're the ones that play .avi's n' such?
[01:26] <v_> yea
[01:26] <wilberfan> does mythhardy do anything different/better than mythgutsy?
[01:26] <v_> hardy boots faster
[01:26] <wilberfan> so i know what to look for...?
[01:26] <v_> and is more stable
[01:27] <v_> and is newer
[01:27] <wilberfan> :P
[01:27] <wilberfan> ok, lemme try this video playback again...
[01:28] <wilberfan> I now have HardyPr0n!  :-D
[01:29] <v_> It works?
[01:29] <wilberfan> the .avi playback stuff, yeah...  :)
[01:29] <v_> cool
[01:29] <wilberfan> i 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 tv
[01:30] <wilberfan> yep
[01:30] <wilberfan> don't know if the Hauppage remote works yet, though...
[01:30] <wilberfan> I'm gonna have to wrestle with the xorg next...  :-O
[01:30] <v_> when you set up myth, did you use a tutorial?
[01:30] <wilberfan> you mean the first time?   or this time...?
[01:31] <v_> first time
[01:31] <wilberfan> wow...i think it was a combination of trying stuff that made sense...and some helpful types in here!
[01:31] <wilberfan> i can't really remember exactly...
[01:32] <v_> could you take a look at my backend log file
[01:32] <wilberfan> i know it was channel help that helped the most...
[01:32] <wilberfan> ME?  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/
[01:33] <wilberfan> just 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 flashes
[01:34] <wilberfan> i DO remember that nothing worked right until I got the permissions correct on the recording partition...
[01:35] <wilberfan> in my case:  "sudo chown mythtv:mythtv -R /where/recording/partis"
[01:35] <wilberfan> i think the "mythtv:mythtv" was crucial?
[01:35] <v_> good Idea!!!
[01:35] <wilberfan> it made ALL the diff....
[01:37] <v_> still doesn't work
[01:37] <wilberfan> this will sound n00b, but have you rebooted?
[01:38] <wilberfan> (yes, my old Windoze habits!)
[01:38] <v_> do you know how to restart the backend
[01:38] <jayshotta> chmod 777 the folder
[01:38] <v_> tried that
[01:38] <jayshotta> chmod -R 777 the folder
[01:38] <v_> that too
[01:38] <wilberfan> wonder if i need to do that?
[01:39] <v_>  do you know how to restart the backend
[01:39] <v_> jayshotta
[01:39] <jayshotta> let me check
[01:39] <v_> thnks
[01:39] <v_> *thanks*
[01:40] <jayshotta> sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart
[01:41] <v_> jayshotta this is my problem:
[01:41] <v_> when I select "Watch tv" in the main menu the screen just flickers
[01:41] <wilberfan> brb
[01:41] <jayshotta> what card are u using
[01:42] <v_> sabrent saa7130
[01:42] <rhpot1991>  can pvr-xxx's record over analog and svideo at the same time?
[01:42] <v_> works in TV time
[01:42] <v_> rhpot1991: no idea, sorry
[01:42] <jayshotta> no that I kno of only pvr 500
[01:43] <jayshotta> rhpot1991 never heard of that card
[01:43] <jayshotta> may not be supported
[01:44] <v_> jayshotta: but in tvtime the "TELEVISION" and "COMPOSITE 2" are switched
[01:48] <v_> jayshotta: this is my forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769435
[01:48] <jayshotta> ima check
[01:48] <v_> ?
[01:53] <Franky_the_Pier> 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] <Franky_the_Pier> (conflict)
[01:58] <wilberfan> hmm..my first test recording hesitated every second or so....
[02:00] <v_> jayshotta, can you figure out anything
[02:02] <wilberfan> anyone remember how to turn off the pip preview?  that caused a lot of problems for me under gutsy...
[02:03] <v_> I haven't even gotten myth tv to work yet
[02:05] <v_> wilberfan: i'm going to just restart my comp. See you in a couple of minutes
[02:09] <vbman11> i'm back!
[02:14] <wilberfan> and we missed you!
[02:17] <vbman11> thanks
[02:18] <vbman11> it still doesn't work
[02:19] <vbman11> I think I should mention that I installed mythbuntu on top of ubuntu
[02:19] <wilberfan> vbman11, i did, too...
[02:19] <vbman11> ok
[02:19] <wilberfa1> (I had no idea pidgin could be used for irc....)
[02:20] <wilberfan> vbman11, what's no working?
[02:20] <wilberfan> t
[02:21] <vbman11> when I click "watch tv" the screen just flickers
[02:21] <vbman11> did you have anything you had to with mysql
[02:21] <vbman11> besides just installing
[02:22] <wilberfan> vbman11, no...i didn't do anything specific with mysql
[02:23] <vbman11> no database setup
[02:23] <wilberfan> i didn't do anything specific, no...
[02:23] <vbman11> ok
[02:23] <wilberfan> you're frontend and backend are the same machine?
[02:23] <vbman11> yep
[02:23] <wilberfan> your
[02:24] <wilberfan> yeah, same here...
[02:24] <wilberfan> are you able to record anything?
[02:24] <wilberfan> and then playback?
[02:24] <vbman11> just a sec
[02:26] <vbman11> I will know at 7:31
[02:27] <wilberfan> vbman11, is that an hour from now...or a minute from now...?  ;-)
[02:27] <vbman11> 4 minutes
[02:27] <vbman11> 3 minutes
[02:28] <wilberfan> mountain standard time, no doubt!
[02:28] <vbman11> yep
[02:29] <wilberfan> L.A. here...
[02:29] <vbman11> cool
[02:29] <wilberfan> not today, it wasn't!  ;)
[02:29] <vbman11> ha
[02:29] <vbman11> ha
[02:29] <vbman11> un minuto!
[02:31] <vbman11> should be done

[02:31] <destructar_> should i be concerned about the message "no upnp backends found" when trying to run mythtv setup?
[02:32] <vbman11> yes...kind of
[02:32] <destructar_> what does it mean?
[02:33] <vbman11> I'm not quite sure, sry
[02:33] <vbman11> wilberfan: It says that there are on recording
[02:33] <vbman11> s
[02:34] <vbman11> *no recordings*
[02:35] <wilberfan> vbman11, not a good sign, huh....
[02:36] <wilberfan> i'm no where near experienced enough with this to help at this point....
[02:36] <wilberfan> :-|
[02:36] <vbman11> is there anyone else that can help?
[02:37] <destructar_> vbman11: are you sure backend is running?
[02:40] <wilberfan> destructar_, how does one verify that?  (just curious)
[02:41] <destructar_> one sec
[02:41] <destructar_> ps -p `cat /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid`
[02:42] <destructar_> from terminal of course
[02:42] <wilberfan> wow...  impressive!
[02:43] <wilberfan> "process ID list syntax error"
[02:44] <wilberfan> have to do it as root, huh...?
[02:44] <wilberfan> PID 5776!  :)
[02:45] <destructar_> i don't think you have to do it as root... shouldn't have to
[02:45] <wilberfan> how come it doesn't show up in the System Monitor?
[02:45] <destructar_> you used ` instead of ' right?
[02:45] <destructar_> ` = backtick
[02:45] <wilberfan> on the end?  probably not...
[02:46] <destructar_> the part that is in quotes is actually backquotes (or backticks if you're a moron like me)
[02:46] <wilberfan> i had no idea that's what that character was!   it worked fine when i used it...
[02:47] <wilberfan> any idea why the backend doesn't show up in the system monitor??
[02:47] <destructar_> it shows up on command line right?
[02:47] <wilberfan> wait...it DOES show up in system monitor...if you display ALL processes....
[02:47] <wilberfan> View/all processes
[02:48] <destructar_> i came in late to your problem... what issue are you having?
[02:48] <wilberfan> Me?  I'm not, at this point...  :)
[02:48] <destructar_> oh gotcha
[02:48] <wilberfan> vbman11 is having one, though....
[02:49] <destructar_> my issues tonight are frustrating...
[02:49] <wilberfan> i just installed hardy today... finally got myth up and running...
[02:49] <wilberfan> :-D
[02:49] <destructar_> installed mythbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.04...
[02:49] <wilberfan> ditto
[02:49] <destructar_> that's what i'm attempting to do yea..
[02:49] <destructar_> so anyway: my frontend wouldn't connect to the backend
[02:50] <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] <wilberfan> ouch.
[02:50] <destructar_> not a huge deal... the bigger problem was last night
[02:50] <wilberfan> i can't help with any problem that someone hasn't already solved for ME...  ;)
[02:51] <destructar_> i left my kid with a babysitter and when i came home the computer was froze... weird right?
[02:51] <wilberfan> your kid froze your linux box??
[02:51] <destructar_> so I did a hard boot... "fstab error" something or other
[02:51] <wilberfan> talented kid!
[02:51] <destructar_> couldn't boot! ubuntu cd couldn't even find the hd at first
[02:51] <destructar_> no... not talented kid: retarded babysitter
[02:51] <wilberfan> you know MY (feisty) box froze up a couple of times in the last week...
[02:51] <wilberfan> but it always restarted....
[02:51] <destructar_> i'm pretty sure she started button mashing
[02:52] <wilberfan> she 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] <wilberfan> major OUCH!
[02:53] <kissell> hey, i've been using mythtv for awhile now, and it's all i've ever used...  is mythbuntu different/better?
[02:54] <vbman11> so destructar_
[02:54] <OpenMedia> Anyone here played with automating MythBuntu installs using preseed or kickstart?
[02:54] <destructar_> horryay!!
[02:55] <destructar_> everything works now... stupid mysql issue
[02:55] <destructar_> now I just have to install my hd antenna and I'll be good to go
[02:55] <destructar_> vbman11: what problem are you facing?
[02:55] <vbman11> my problem is that my frontend isn't connecting to my backend
[02:56] <destructar_> that was my issue as well
[02:56] <destructar_> did mythfilldatabase (or whatever the command is) work for you?
[02:56] <destructar_> also: this is a fresh install?
[02:57] <vbman11> mythfilldatabase=no
[02:57] <vbman11> install = kindof
[02:57] <kissell> 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] <wilberfan> anyone remember how to turn off the pip preview?
[02:58] <destructar_> vbman11: most likely you're having issues with mysql
[02:58] <wilberfan> and more importantly:  is there a new Simpsons tonight?
[02:58] <kissell> 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] <destructar_> 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] <vbman11> destructar_, how did you fix yours
[02:59] <destructar_> i removed my database and ran a command, then reinstalled front and backend (via mythbuntu)
[02:59] <destructar_> ... looking for command
[02:59] <vbman11> thanks for the help
[02:59] <destructar_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[03:00] <destructar_> are you using mythbuntu?
[03:00] <vbman11> yep
[03:00] <destructar_> i'm using myhbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.04
[03:00] <vbman11> me too
[03:00] <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 center
[03:00] <vbman11> nothing to lose
[03:01] <destructar_> change your system roll by removing front and backend functions
[03:01] <destructar_> then open your terminal, connect to mysql and drop your database
[03:01] <destructar_> mysql -u USERNAME -p -h localhost
[03:01] <vbman11> just a sec
[03:01] <destructar_> enter password
[03:02] <destructar_> drop database mythconverg;
[03:02] <destructar_> then type: exit
[03:02] <destructar_> then enter that above command i pasted: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[03:03] <destructar_> go back to command center, enable primary backend, and also frontend again
[03:03] <destructar_> run mythtv setup and go through all that mess again
[03:03] <destructar_> then load up mythfrontend and with any luck it will all work for you as it did for me
[03:04] <vbman11> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv-database is broken or not fully installed
[03:04] <vbman11> I think that is a problem
[03:04] <MythbuntuGuest87> anybody get mythubuntu and dishnetwork STB Serial IR working?
[03:05] <vbman11> I'll be back destructar_
[03:05] <destructar_> vbman11: did you install mythbuntu with synaptic? if not then you should do that right now
[03:06] <cal_> how do i go from knoppmyth to mythbuntu and keep my recorded programs?
[03:07] <destructar_> vbman11: also i think i told you something backwards: reload front and backend before running dpkg-reconfigure
[03:08] <vbman11> ohh!
[03:09] <vbman11> just a sec
[03:13] <MythbuntuGuest31> test
[03:13] <MythbuntuGuest31> anybody get IRblaster working for dishnetwork on mythbuntu 8.04
[03:16] <vbman11> IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[03:16] <vbman11> Thanks destructar!
[03:16] <destructar_> awesome :)
[03:16] <destructar_> did you have to run dpkg-reconfigure ?
[03:17] <vbman11>  yep
[03:17] <shizno> my pvr-350 remote stops working if i enable lirc for my serial irblaster.. has anyone gotten this combination to work?
[03:17] <vbman11> I'm not quite sure what fixed it
[03:19] <vbman11> now I have another problem!
[03:19] <destructar_> it sounds like we both had the same issue. I'm not really sure what caused or fixed it
[03:19] <destructar_> what is it?
[03:19] <vbman11> television and composite 2 inputs are switched
[03:20] <vbman11> my card is a sabrent saa71300000
[03:20] <destructar_> can't help on that one
[03:20] <destructar_> i use hdhomerun
[03:20] <vbman11> I'll try google. but thanks for the help with mythtv!
[03:22] <destructar_> np
[03:23] <Dilligaf63> Anyone have any luck getting totem to connect to mythtv???
[03:24] <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!
[03:25] <OpenMedia> Dilligaf63: I've had it working.
[03:25] <MythbuntuGuest31> what's totem?
[03:25] <the[V]oid__> please give me a hint =/
[03:25] <Dilligaf63> How do you configure totem??
[03:25] <Dilligaf63> Totem is a media player
[03:26] <the[V]oid__> The device number seems to be set to -1 by default and it's not possible to change it
[03:26] <OpenMedia> There is a guide at Mythbuntu.org
[03:27] <Dilligaf63> Do you have a link to the guide? I searched and couldn't find it.
[03:27] <Dilligaf63> I setup uname ans password in gconfig-editor, it still won't connect
[03:28] <OpenMedia> http://www.mythbuntu.org/image/tid/9
[03:28] <OpenMedia> first hit on google for "Mythbuntu totem"
[03:28] <OpenMedia> Is your MySQL server listening on a public address?
[03:29] <Dilligaf63> Thanks, I found those pictures and setup accordingly, still won't connect.
[03:29] <Dilligaf63> I can connect other frontends to my backend so I assume it is
[03:33] <the[V]oid__> nobody knows? =(
[03:54] <OpenMedia> Dilligaf63: Hmm not sure then
[03:55]  * rhpot1991 is tempted to get a cloudbook instead of replacing his laptop battery
[05:40] <shawn222> 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] <kypor> anyone get mythtv working using a Hauppauge pvr-350?
[06:22] <darthanubis> kypor, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_PVR-350
[06:23] <rhpot1991> kypor: what is the problem?
[06:23] <rhpot1991> 350 should work OOB for capturing
[06:23] <rhpot1991> or are you trying to do output on it as well?
[06:45] <shizno> the 350 worked OOB for me, except for the remote in conjunction with a serial ir blaster
[06:45] <shizno> is that a known issue?
[07:35] <TazgodX> does teh PVR-150 have S-Video input?
[07:35] <TazgodX> and what about the 350?
[07:59] <shizno> woo, finally got pvr-350 remote working with a serial ir blaster
[08:00] <shizno> 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] <hansoffate> Hey, is there an easy way to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04?
[08:20] <shizno> and that was fixed with... echo 'options ivtv ivtv_first_minor=2' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
[08:25] <hansoffate> well, i'm going to try the upgrade through the update manager.  hopefully it doesn't break anything.
[08:30] <superm1> hansoffate, http://mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes
[08:31] <hansoffate> i started the upgrade.  I was just afraid maybe some settings would be lost or something.
[08:31] <hansoffate> 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] <superm1> 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] <superm1> glad you like the new theme
[08:52] <HeMan> is weekly builds for hardy built from the trunk?
[12:20] <d110> 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] <hugolp> 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] <hugolp> [90118.461172] mt2060 I2C read failed
[12:42] <hugolp> [168939.965145] longhaul: Warning: Timeout while waiting for idle PCI bus.
[13:14] <Keithamus> can anyone please tell me how to edit my picture settings (for watching TV) as it is slow and bleached out.
[13:35] <Keithamus> anybody?
[15:47] <CosMiC_Touch> hi @ all
[16:49] <mib_rt1eajha> 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] <shizno> mib: that'd be pretty useful
[17:00] <mib_rt1eajha> It is in 0.21 and is a great t.
[18:46] <sidelil> 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] <jayshotta> 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] <shizno> sidelil: i'm a newb to mythbuntu but i think the intention is to setup lirc via the MCC
[19:14] <sidelil> shizno, how? My remote is not in the list...
[19:16] <sidelil> 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] <cal_> how do i set what the default card will be when 'Watch TV' is chosen?
[19:36] <cal_> why does mythtv keep defaulting to my HD card when i go into live tv?
[19:37] <cal_> it is set as card #3
[19:37] <TazgodX> 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] <jayshotta> 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 ?
[20:46] <Nikas> 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] <Nikas> And LAMC / LMSC in LiveTV? :) I know what the C stands for... and L... lock?
[20:51] <agamotto> Ok, now that that is back to order....
[20:52] <agamotto> Anyone willing to help with digital tuner questions?
[20:55] <Alowishus> JUST ASK
[20:55] <Alowishus> *sigh*
[21:03] <lanuser> Hello - nice work on 8.04 folks, it's goergeous and had to be the easiest Linux install I've ever done!
[21:08] <agamotto> Hmm, I think I have found some bug in Xchat under Hardy... oh well
[21:08] <agamotto> Question for those who have worked with digital tuners:
[21:09] <agamotto> How do you tell MythSetup to use 1 analog tuner card, and 1 digital tuner card?
[21:15] <Alowishus> 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] <MythbuntuGuest37> hello anyone here
[21:18] <agamotto> I am here
[21:18] <agamotto> Alowishus:  Yes
[21:18] <MythbuntuGuest37> howdy
[21:18] <lanuser> Hello - nobody but us chickens in here...
[21:18] <MythbuntuGuest37> who is good to ask about mythbuntu problems
[21:18] <agamotto> I can cofirm that there is some sort of bug with resizing Xchat windows under Hardy...
[21:18] <Alowishus> MythbuntuGuest37: just ask
[21:19] <agamotto> Not sure, I am a noob here myself
[21:19] <MythbuntuGuest37> ok here we go
[21:19] <agamotto> Ask away...
[21:19] <MythbuntuGuest37> I had the gutsy version all working fine
[21:19] <MythbuntuGuest37> including shutting down and booting up from bios
[21:19] <MythbuntuGuest37> was very nice
[21:20] <MythbuntuGuest37> then before 8.04 i ran some update from the update manager
[21:20] <MythbuntuGuest37> as I was told the mythweb was better
[21:20] <MythbuntuGuest37> then it started to go wrong from there
[21:20] <MythbuntuGuest37> I use mythwelcome
[21:21] <MythbuntuGuest37> when it came on to shedual a recording it displayed cannot connect to server
[21:21] <MythbuntuGuest37> so I did the check sql
[21:21] <MythbuntuGuest37> and it seemed fine
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest37> could connect and shedual recordings fine
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest37> then 2 days latter on next recording it only recorded 2 mins of a program
[21:23] <MythbuntuGuest37> so I did an upgrade to 8.04 the other day too see if it helps
[21:23] <MythbuntuGuest37> i have read i need to run a script for the sql to convert from 7 to 8  is that right
[21:24] <MythbuntuGuest37> or did the upgrade fix that
[21:24] <agamotto> Yes, the full upgrade should help your problem, but you may need to optimize your SQL tables, I would assume
[21:24] <MythbuntuGuest37> from the control panel thing
[21:24] <agamotto> This can be done from Mythbunt control panel under advanced settings, if memory serves
[21:24] <MythbuntuGuest37> yeah  i did that
[21:25] <agamotto> Still crappola with your recordings?
[21:25] <MythbuntuGuest37> well i will have to see if that has helped as the problem is intermitent
[21:25] <MythbuntuGuest37> tonight went fine
[21:25] <MythbuntuGuest37> i have still got a problem that the font end falls back to desktop after watching tv
[21:25] <agamotto> Ahhh, check also to see that in your general settings, that you don't have more than 2 processes allowed
[21:26] <agamotto> What kind of cpu?
[21:26] <MythbuntuGuest37> P4
[21:26] <MythbuntuGuest37> was fine on 7
[21:26] <agamotto> Ok, what speed?
[21:26] <MythbuntuGuest37> 3ghz
[21:26] <MythbuntuGuest37> very nice shuttle box
[21:27] <agamotto> Ahh, that should be fine... Just check your general settings for 2 processes at a time or less
[21:27] <MythbuntuGuest37> hmmm   i will
[21:27] <MythbuntuGuest37> what about front end crashing?
[21:27] <agamotto> 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] <MythbuntuGuest37> i have read so much on forums so many people say differant stuff
[21:28] <MythbuntuGuest37> thanks i did change it
[21:28] <agamotto> I am not sure of the front end crashing as I get it on both of my boxen with certain circumstances
[21:28] <MythbuntuGuest37> cant remember to what
[21:28] <MythbuntuGuest37> it ran so fine under gutsy
[21:28] <agamotto> I know that I don't dare run Miro on the box whilst watching telly, bad things happen to the front end
[21:29] <MythbuntuGuest37> Miro?
[21:29] <agamotto> Yah, upgrades aren't always improvements at first... ask a Vista user
[21:29] <MythbuntuGuest37> he he
[21:29] <agamotto> Miro is a program for net telly... podcasts, etc...
[21:29] <MythbuntuGuest37> yeah they are scrapping it now
[21:29] <MythbuntuGuest37> vista i meen
[21:29] <MythbuntuGuest37> windows 7  now
[21:30] <agamotto> Whichever, I stopped at XP and only keep it around for games
[21:30] <MythbuntuGuest37> true
[21:30] <agamotto> Alowishus:  Any ideas as to a guide for my question?
[21:30] <MythbuntuGuest37> what your question?
[21:31] <Alowishus> agamotto: wait what was your question?  Are you somehow having trouble setting up the two tuners and/or listing sources?
[21:31] <agamotto> Yah
[21:31] <MythbuntuGuest37> i got a dual tuner
[21:31] <MythbuntuGuest37> NOVA-T 500
[21:32] <MythbuntuGuest37> works very well
[21:32] <agamotto> 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] <MythbuntuGuest37> hmm  seen alot about PVR 150
[21:33] <agamotto> 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] <MythbuntuGuest37> I was realy   bad  I bought the card as I saw lots of support for it
[21:33] <agamotto> The 150 was the only card that would work back when I first made this box ~ 3 years ago
[21:34] <MythbuntuGuest37> oooh  long time
[21:34] <Alowishus> agamotto: sure, so create a SD lineup for the digital OTA stations in your area
[21:34] <Alowishus> agamotto: then connect it to the digital card
[21:34] <MythbuntuGuest37> im very new to linux
[21:34] <lanuser> Where can I specify a card and tuner number for a TV card that's not quite recognized?
[21:34] <MythbuntuGuest37> but i am proud of what i have done
[21:35] <agamotto> Guest37:  That is ok, you have to start somewhere... so far you are doing well with intelligent questions
[21:35] <MythbuntuGuest37> he he
[21:35] <agamotto> So you can have two different lineups with SD?
[21:35] <MythbuntuGuest37> wish i didnt upgrade it though
[21:35] <MythbuntuGuest37> got acpi working so nice
[21:35] <agamotto> lanuser:  What video card?
[21:36] <lanuser> Hauppauge WinTV [card=10, tuner=2]
[21:36] <agamotto> What model?
[21:36] <agamotto> 150, 300, 1800, 1200?
[21:37] <lanuser> much older than those
[21:37] <agamotto> can you give me a clue as to model #?
[21:38] <lanuser> I'll try to post it --> http://www.pastebin.ca/1000880
[21:39] <lanuser> I think it got the card type right but not the tuner?
[21:39] <lanuser> dmesg says "[   32.146741] tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])"
[21:40] <MythbuntuGuest37> agamotto thanks for the info
[21:40] <MythbuntuGuest37> im off to try things
[21:40] <agamotto> Ok, it is a bt848 card.... search google for 'ivtv tuner option'
[21:40] <agamotto> I think you need to add something like the following to your /etc/mythtv/modules.conf
[21:41] <agamotto> ivtv options tuner=50  that or it is 2
[21:41] <agamotto> This manually sets your tuner type, as ivtv sometimes doesn't know which card it has
[21:41] <lanuser> I thought it was a bt878
[21:41] <agamotto> Guest37:  You are welcome
[21:41] <psicobra> 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] <lanuser> Is there a modules.conf file somewhere where I could speficy the tuner # ?
[21:41] <MythbuntuGuest37> there is a share
[21:42] <agamotto> lanuser:  Yah, that is the driver that ivtv is trying to use, which sounds correct
[21:42] <MythbuntuGuest37> psicobra did you browse to box or try run \\mythtv or what ever your bax is called
[21:42] <MythbuntuGuest37> *box
[21:42]  * agamotto points lanuser to the line with /etc/mythtv/modules.conf
[21:43] <psicobra> i launch mythtv from start menu i have an external drive with avi movies on it
[21:43] <psicobra> just want to copy to media center box
[21:44] <lanuser> agamotto: thanks, that file doesn't exist in 8.04, but I could just safely create it?
[21:44] <agamotto> Hmmm, something like cp /mnt/usb0 to /var/mythtv/videos/ should work for that... have to check your exact settings
[21:44] <agamotto> lanuser:  Yep, go ahead and add it
[21:44] <agamotto> lanuser:  You might need to do sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf
[21:45] <agamotto> You might even get mytharchive to import the files... not sure
[21:45] <agamotto> I haven't played with bringing stuff in from other devices that much
[21:46] <lanuser> agamotto I'm root already but that file doesn't exist
[21:48] <psicobra> mytharchive?
[21:48] <agamotto> Yah, you will want to use a text editor to create it
[21:49] <agamotto> psicobra:  It is the new way to burn DVDs, backup your settings, etc...
[21:49] <agamotto> I believe there is a way to use MythArchive to import video/data files
[21:50] <agamotto> lanuser:  Hence, sudo nano /etc/mythtv/modules.conf
[21:50] <lanuser> agamotto: ok sorry, I just wasn't clear on if the file should already exist or not, thanks
[21:51] <agamotto> That is ok, always better to ask
[21:51] <TazgodX> 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] <agamotto> TazgodX:  Yep, it looks like you are one of the few who has to manually add it....
[21:52] <agamotto> TazgodX:  What is the device you are trying to control with it?
[21:52] <psicobra> done it path was set wrong
[21:52] <psicobra> thanks guys
[21:52] <TazgodX> a motorola U-Verse STB
[21:53] <agamotto> Hmmm, USB or Firewire?
[21:53] <TazgodX> it has USB, but its not activated
[21:53] <TazgodX> no firewire
[21:53] <agamotto> Hmmm, call ATT and see if they can activate it... with USB, I think it will do the changing automatically
[21:54] <agamotto> If not, explain to them how they could be losing a customer over it
[21:54] <agamotto> Do a google search for the following:  Motorola XXX set-top box mythbuntu irblaster
[21:54] <agamotto> How is the U-verse stuff otherwise?
[21:55] <TazgodX> its nice
[21:55] <TazgodX> just wish i could get it working with my mythbox
[21:56] <agamotto> I can understand that.  I keep emailing ATT wanting to know when they are bringing it to the Moline, IL. area....
[21:56] <agamotto> I am tired of being teased by the mail flyers....
[21:56] <TazgodX> im in Hanover Park IL
[21:56] <TazgodX> just came out
[21:56] <agamotto> Feh... figures Chitown first....
[21:56] <chairman> 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] <TazgodX> haha

[22:04] <psicobra> the video feature where it retreived the IMDB data
[22:04] <psicobra> wow
[22:04]  * agamotto smiles
[22:04] <agamotto> It makes MCE look like a bad vcr
[22:04] <psicobra> true

[22:05] <psicobra> linux makes it work like a dream
[22:06] <psicobra> thank u mythtv and mythbuntu team
[22:09] <agamotto> If I disappear, I will return quickly... testing bits
[22:11] <agamotto> Yep, that confirms it.. some sort of resize problem with Xchat... ok
[22:12] <agamotto> Alowishus:  I went ahead and posted to the Mythbuntu forum about my combined tuner bits...
[22:13] <Alowishus> agamotto: ah ok... you figured out how to do a second lineup in SD yes?
[22:13] <agamotto> Yes, but still not sure about the tuner setup, etc...
[22:13] <Alowishus> 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] <agamotto> As an aside, has anyone played with the the encoding options when recording telly.. the mpeg ps, ts, dvd... stuff?
[22:14] <agamotto> Alowishus:  I might do the HomeRun once the conversion is 'complete'
[22:15] <agamotto> 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] <agamotto> I love older homes, but trying to do rewiring without destroying the plaster....grrr
[22:25] <agamotto> Well, I must away... I will chat with you all some other time...
