=== MythbuntuGuest92 is now known as Spanky0521 [00:08] good evening, i was wondering if someone could answer a question [00:09] 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] what did i miss? [00:14] i got it all fixed....fat fingered the directory permissions [02:34] Hello - anyone using a commandir by chance? [03:54] anybody on here having the LIRC problem with Mythbuntu 8.04 Final? [04:03] is anyone having a problem with LIRC in Mythbuntu 8.04 Final? [04:04] I'm having a similar problem to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/207991 [04:04] but the suggested fix didn't work for me [04:04] TIA, got IRC in screen, will check in the AM [04:15] im getting an error in mythweb when accessing the videos section [04:15] 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] anyone heard of that error? [04:36] TazgodX: check the faqs === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 [04:38] ive been checking a few places, found nothing on it [04:40] TazgodX: [04:40] TazgodX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/FAQs [04:41] ahhhh ;) [04:53] that works now :) [05:45] Hrm, is there a reason why my mpeg4 and h.264 playback is hideously slow on my myth box? [05:49] Wy|laptop: cause they are cpu intensive? [05:55] hmm, why can't i upload images to my DVD covers folder [05:56] im too tired to be working on this still [06:00] check your perms [06:00] what does it have to be? [06:00] well all the other mythtv folders are 2775 [06:00] with mythtv:mythtv as the owner [06:01] sure, but a 2ghz A64x2 should be able to handle them, no? [06:01] 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] Wy|laptop: I would *think* you should be able to play them back [06:02] yeah, me too [06:03] but all I get is stutter. Same setup, they play fine under windows or osx [06:04] problem with the decode? [06:27] are you using the correct graphics drivers? [06:28] yup [06:28] nvidia proprietary [06:28] also get the same problem with the open source ones [06:28] is your cpu maxing out when you see the studders? [06:28] yup [06:30] try playing the video with vlc or some other media player? [06:30] tried mplayer, vlc, xine [06:31] try playing back http://myeve.eve-online.com/download/videos/Default.asp?a=download&vid=157 [06:34] about to go to bed, sorry [07:05] hello, folks [07:06] running mythbuntu 8.04 here; is there a way to disable the delete-recording confirmation prompts? [07:07] 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] no need for the extra button presses to select "yes, i'm sure i want to delete", and enter the choice [07:25] 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. === _taz_ is now known as TazgodX [08:00] 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. [10:16] hello [10:18] I would like to help with the MythBuntu manual [10:19] How can I get involved? [10:20] :) [10:20] hi rage [10:20] err, Ryan1980 [10:20] Ryan1980: you can get the source for the documentation there: https://code.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/documentation [10:21] Ryan1980: join #ubuntu-mythtv-dev for devlopment stuff.. i've gotta run now, bbl [10:28] Ok Laga, thanks for the input.

Must be busy or throttled now. [17:23] this 4/20 version of xbmc seems to give me lots of scraping problems [17:26] does anyone else have problem with x11vnc and mythbuntu? I have a backend server(without frontend) that I want to run vnc on. I have enabled it in the control panel but it doesn't start.... === MythbuntuGuest41 is now known as Spanky === Spanky is now known as Spanky521 [17:41] good morning. i was wondering if anyone had any expreience with mythtv and the logitech harmony 670 [18:14] Spanky521: I have a 688 [18:15] Can anyone point me to some general instructions for obtaining mythbuntu source so that I can apply a few patches to it?

[18:41] cosmic: general protection faults shouldn't happenn [18:43] cosmic: i can't be of much help there.. maybe try testing your RAM, make sure your CPU/GPU doesn't overheat.. here's a wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_protection_fault [18:43] cosmic: can you ssh/ping it from another machine? [18:43] I found a harmony lirc.conf file out on the net and used it to get me started [18:46] thx guy's , root partition is full ! , damn !!! [18:47] i am such an idiot [18:47] Telnet: Ok, but what did you tell the remote you were controlling?

[19:00] I'm here....I have the software and website for the remote, i just don't know what to tell the remote i am controlling [19:00] HauppaugePVR150 [19:01] thats what I set the device up as in the software [19:01] thanks, hopefully that gets me going. What IR receiver are you using? [19:02] I made one [19:03] nice, i'm using a homemade one too. [19:03] thanks for the information [19:04] I mightbe able to get you the lirc configs too [19:04] just not right this minute, am at work [19:04] but am actually tryingto install mythbuntu on another backend.. :) [19:09] it's ok, i think i should be able to get going with that information. [19:09] I assume in th elirc you said you were using the hauppage remote? [19:09] yes [19:10] hauppauge lirc config file [19:10] modified slightly [19:10] awesome, that should get me going. Thanks! [20:09] anyone here? [20:09] small issue with mythbuntu [20:14] i had to reinstall , all myth* components ... and now i have the problem that i hear sound in LiveTV mode but i just see a picture with green blue and red pixel ?! is there a codec missing ? [20:14] hi TelnetManta [20:20] TelnetManta: whitch issue do you have ? [20:30] i figured it out [20:30] had a issue with my mysql login [20:31] ok [20:31] but [20:31] still wanting to find info on how to extract the source for mythbuntu in order to apply some patches. [20:31] what bits do you need? mythtv? [20:34] you can apt-get source packagename if that's any help [20:38] 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] immensewok, works here on hardy amd64 and a directv box via usb-serial [20:46] 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] immensewok, http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml Version 1.9 [21:07] that's not going to get him very far w/ his Motorola box [21:07] true but I'll take a look when I get home [21:09] 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] iamlindoro_, no it wont [21:10] just FYI [21:10] mine also doesn't change via IR [21:10] so if you dig though that script you might find non IR related stuff that could be confusing [21:10] I haven't looked into the script lately [21:10] immensewok, Multiple options here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script [21:11] immensewok, is that a digital cable box? [21:11] those are the scripts i'm talking about. i should have been clearer [21:11] Although if neither work a channel change script need only be four or so lines, pretty simple to cook up [21:11] tgm4883, It's moto's lowest end SD cable box [21:11] tgm4883, yes its a digital box. the link above has the exact picture [21:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43 [21:12] 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] immensewok, what link? [21:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43 [21:12] oops [21:12] 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] i meant https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script [21:13] ah I see it now [21:13] I'm guessing no working firewire on that box [21:13] 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] no firewire period, coaxial and composite are the outs [21:14] ah [21:14] * tgm4883 has to run [21:15] immensewok, can you test the script from the command line? [21:15] hopefully if you get any errors we can help you with them [21:16] 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] yea thats what I did [21:16] you should just be able to do [21:17] ./scriptname channelnum [21:17] ok, now i want to ditch work and try some stuff. the boss is out of town so its ok, right? [21:20] thanks tgm 4883 and iamlindoro_, i'm not stuck anymore. [23:43] anybody get mythbuntu and dishnetwork, Serial IR to work?

I have the new mythbuntu 8.04, pvr350, dishnetwork, streamzap remote, and dishnetwork 322 box. with IR cable I bout [23:53] bought [23:53] I"m clueless how to configure it.. do I just change the lirc.conf file, and restart?
