[00:08] <Spanky0521> good evening, i was wondering if someone could answer a question
[00:09] <Spanky0521> i have setup my storage directories and they are mounted, mythtv user and group has read write access to them.  however in the backend setup when i go to exit, it says it can't create a test file and asks if the directory is writeable
[00:09] <Spanky0521> what did i miss?
[00:14] <Spanky0521> i got it all fixed....fat fingered the directory permissions
[02:34] <lanuser> Hello - anyone using a commandir by chance?
[03:54] <technomalogical> anybody on here having the LIRC problem with Mythbuntu 8.04 Final?
[04:03] <technomalogical> is anyone having a problem with LIRC in Mythbuntu 8.04 Final?
[04:04] <technomalogical> I'm having a similar problem to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/207991
[04:04] <technomalogical> but the suggested fix didn't work for me
[04:04] <technomalogical> TIA, got IRC in screen, will check in the AM
[04:15] <TazgodX> im getting an error in mythweb when accessing the videos section
[04:15] <TazgodX> Could not create a symlink to /var/lib/mythtv/videos, the local MythVideo directory for this hostname (MythBox). Please create a symlink to your MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of MythWeb.
[04:34] <TazgodX> anyone heard of that error?
[04:36] <rhpot1992> TazgodX: check the faqs
[04:38] <TazgodX> ive been checking a few places, found nothing on it
[04:40] <rhpot1991> TazgodX:
[04:40] <rhpot1991> TazgodX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/FAQs
[04:41] <TazgodX> ahhhh ;)
[04:53] <TazgodX> that works now :)
[05:45] <Wy|laptop> Hrm, is there a reason why my mpeg4 and h.264 playback is hideously slow on my myth box?
[05:49] <rhpot1991> Wy|laptop: cause they are cpu intensive?
[05:55] <TazgodX> hmm, why can't i upload images to my DVD covers folder
[05:56] <TazgodX> im too tired to be working on this still
[06:00] <rhpot1991> check your perms
[06:00] <TazgodX> what does it have to be?
[06:00] <rhpot1991> well all the other mythtv folders are 2775
[06:00] <rhpot1991> with mythtv:mythtv as the owner
[06:01] <Wy|laptop> sure, but a 2ghz A64x2 should be able to handle them, no?
[06:01] <TazgodX> well, i can write to it from within myth, but in mythweb it doesn't save the images when i browse to one, and when i connect via samba and can't manually upload to that folder. i can upload to the regular videos folder
[06:01]  * Wy|laptop ponders reinstalling windows on the htpc
[06:02] <rhpot1991> Wy|laptop: I would *think* you should be able to play them back
[06:02] <Wy|laptop> yeah, me too
[06:03] <Wy|laptop> but all I get is stutter. Same setup, they play fine under windows or osx
[06:04] <Wy|laptop> problem with the decode?
[06:27] <rhpot1991> are you using the correct graphics drivers?
[06:28] <Wy|laptop> yup
[06:28] <Wy|laptop> nvidia proprietary
[06:28] <Wy|laptop> also get the same problem with the open source ones
[06:28] <rhpot1991> is your cpu maxing out when you see the studders?
[06:28] <Wy|laptop> yup
[06:30] <rhpot1991> try playing the video with vlc or some other media player?
[06:30] <Wy|laptop> tried mplayer, vlc, xine
[06:31] <Wy|laptop> try playing back http://myeve.eve-online.com/download/videos/Default.asp?a=download&vid=157
[06:34] <rhpot1991> about to go to bed, sorry
[07:05] <MythbuntuGuest96> hello, folks
[07:06] <MythbuntuGuest96> running mythbuntu 8.04 here; is there a way to disable the delete-recording confirmation prompts?
[07:07] <MythbuntuGuest96> i find i'm almost always certain i want to delete something, but if i make a mistake, can always go to the deleted recordings group to recover.
[07:08] <MythbuntuGuest96> no need for the extra button presses to select "yes, i'm sure i want to delete", and enter the choice
[07:25] <TazgodX> hmm, so i have mythweb set up so i can edit info for videos i upload now. and i have it so i can upload images for videos. and it shows up in mythweb correctly, and it shows the image in video manager, but i can't see it when i browse videos.
[08:00] <TazgodX> found why i can't get my images to show up in Myth. when i upload over the net with mythweb an image for my video its permissions are screwed up. my user can't even access it.

[18:41] <laga> cosmic: general protection faults shouldn't happenn

[18:43] <jduggan> cosmic: can you ssh/ping it from another machine?

[20:31] <TelnetManta> still wanting to find info on how to extract the source for mythbuntu in order to apply some patches.
[20:31] <laga> what bits do you need? mythtv?
[20:34] <iamlindoro__> you can apt-get source packagename if that's any help
[20:38] <immensewok> Has anyone had any luck getting a channel changing script to work under Hardy? I've got the Motorola DCT700 (Comcast) STB working from the command line (irsend ...) but not from a script. Its making it impossible to record anything.
[20:44] <tgm4883> immensewok, works here on hardy amd64 and a directv box via usb-serial
[20:46] <immensewok> I'm using a pentium 4 3GHz and a CommandIR blaster. I'm also using the same python script I used under Fiesty. Where did you get your script?
[21:04] <tgm4883> immensewok, http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml  Version 1.9
[21:07] <iamlindoro__> that's not going to get him very far w/ his Motorola box
[21:07] <immensewok> true but I'll take a look when I get home
[21:09] <immensewok> My issue is, things were working perfectly under Fiesty but the upgrade hosed a ton of stuff. I managed to get everything back except the channel change script (and as I said the blaster works) bit I don't know enough Python to start messing with the script.
[21:09] <tgm4883> iamlindoro_, no it wont
[21:10] <tgm4883> just FYI
[21:10] <tgm4883> mine also doesn't change via IR
[21:10] <tgm4883> so if you dig though that script you might find non IR related stuff that could be confusing
[21:10] <tgm4883> I haven't looked into the script lately
[21:10] <iamlindoro__> immensewok, Multiple options here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script
[21:11] <tgm4883> immensewok, is that a digital cable box?
[21:11] <immensewok> those are the scripts i'm talking about. i should have been clearer
[21:11] <iamlindoro__> Although if neither work a channel change script need only be four or so lines, pretty simple to cook up
[21:11] <iamlindoro__> tgm4883, It's moto's lowest end SD cable box
[21:11] <immensewok> tgm4883, yes its a digital box. the link above has the exact picture
[21:12] <iamlindoro__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43
[21:12] <iamlindoro__> It can be as simple as that, and as you say irsend works, no reason that script shouldn't since that's all it uses
[21:12] <tgm4883> immensewok, what link?
[21:12] <immensewok> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43
[21:12] <immensewok> oops
[21:12] <iamlindoro__> change REMOTE_NAME to be the DCT700's remote name in lircd.conf, change "select" to whatever you call your "OK" or "select" key in lircd.conf, and it should work fine
[21:13] <immensewok> i meant https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script
[21:13] <tgm4883> ah I see it now
[21:13] <tgm4883> I'm guessing no working firewire on that box
[21:13] <immensewok> iamlindoro__ thank you. i'm at work so i can't test anything but you've given me something new to mess with
[21:13] <iamlindoro__> no firewire period, coaxial and composite are the outs
[21:14] <tgm4883> ah
[21:14]  * tgm4883 has to run
[21:15] <tgm4883> immensewok, can you test the script from the command line?
[21:15] <tgm4883> hopefully if you get any errors we can help you with them
[21:16] <immensewok> tgm, that's a good point. i've been running myth and not changing channels but i never bothered to run the script directly and never got any output. seems like that should've been the first thing to try
[21:16] <tgm4883> yea thats what I did
[21:16] <tgm4883> you should just be able to do
[21:17] <tgm4883> ./scriptname channelnum
[21:17] <immensewok> ok, now i want to ditch work and try some stuff. the boss is out of town so its ok, right?
[21:20] <immensewok> thanks tgm 4883 and iamlindoro_, i'm not stuck anymore.
