hyphunand secured mythweb! yihaa!00:27
hyphuncya alll!00:27
mojogreets.  we are planning to build a mythbox shortly, and were considering the pcHD-5500 card.  We have Comcast cable in middle Tennessee.  Anyone know how this card works on comcast cable?  We don't subscribe to any premium channels (it's for the internet), but I am also curious about options with encrypted channels (if thats how it works)01:29
mojowith a mythbox though we may try the a premium movie channel so we can make the best use of it01:30
ahavehello. I have a mplayer question.. on DVD playback I have audio, but I do not have video. Instead I get a scrambled pinkish image. Can anyone offer advice?01:34
ahavemojo, hello. i live in east-TN, also have comcast. I dont know for sure, but I believe you will have to have a box from comcast to decrypt their premium channels.01:35
ahavemojo, however, with their standard package you get the network channels and a few others.01:36
mojothen i take it's feed into the card?01:36
mojowhat ever happened to cablecard for descrambling them?01:36
mojoahave: we have the standard package.  fixing to build a mythbox and looking at the pcHD-550001:36
mojobut we may want premium channel or two once it's set up01:37
mojowell i am searching the mythtv wiki and the ubuntu-mythtv channle01:37
mojowish me luck01:38
mojookay... i am finding that there are no cablecard options... ah well, standard channels are fine.  just hoping for options.01:41
mojothanks anyways01:42
ahave_sorry, mojo. laptop cut out on me01:43
mojonp01:44
mojoi am finding some answers... no joy for cablecard on linux, and ati has the only option but its windows only.  apparently CableCard people won't cert. stuff that isn't closed so they can "protect" the content stream.  silly drm-ologists.01:45
mojobut it looks like nJoy+1 for unencrypted streams ATSC/QAM01:45
mojoat least i think so01:45
mojomy brother is having a birthday and has been building a box to make a myth back end; we wanted to get him this card if we can01:46
ahave_i am using just using the hdhomerun dual network tuner.. seems to work 'ok' so far. really havent gotten around to using it yet01:47
ahave_every now and then, when booting up multiple instances of mythtvfront end will load.. ranging from 3 to 7 or so02:09
ahave_has anyone experienced this?02:10
Lossifhas anyone had a problem mounting a mythbuntu samba share?02:15
LossifI can mount graphically in ubuntu02:18
Lossifbut when I try to add it to fstab it just says it can't find it02:19
q_a_z_steveCan anyone recommend a linux program to remaster DVD's like DVD Shrink?02:20
TelnetMantacan anyone help me get going in the right direction with configuring my remote?02:27
TelnetMantaI have the lirc config file for my remote02:27
TelnetMantaand a homemode serial rx that worked on my previous installation02:27
mojoany experience with a windows front end?  we will run a myth back-end over gig network (we wired the house & built a gig switch/server with the cable internet hung off a 10Mbps card).  I run a linux desktop and we will prob. build a linux myth front end for the living room.  but my housemates have windows desktops... can they view mythtv content or is there some streaming option?02:27
mojoq_a_z_steve: . i have dv9to5 i think but have not tested it yet.  there is also k9copy02:28
q_a_z_stevemojo: that seems more to do automatic stuff, I want to remove special features and that, maybe even have no menu, just to preserve quality.02:28
mojoyou want a dvdshrink on windows clone.  i have heard you can run dvdsrhink under wine.02:29
LossifIs there any known issues with trying to mount mythbuntu 8.04 in linux?02:34
ahave_i am trying to setup DVD playback. and i get this error:  http://www.rafb.net/p/kisM8w30.html02:36

Nikasso.. i have upgraded to mythbuntu 8.10 from 7.10 and now my system wont boot. Seems like it's trying to boot from sda now.. i dont have sda.. it should be sda12:29
Nikashda i mean12:29
lagathen fix your fstab ;)12:30
Nikasso. i do get to some terminal... if i type "Reboot" my system boots12:30
Nikaswell.. my fstab is unchanged12:30
Nikasit wanted to change my uuid's in menu.lst when upgrading.. i have changed the sys-disk before and had to change my uuids in menu.lst and fstab12:31

Nikasfsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hdc112:32
Nikasmy disks seems to have changed to sda sdb and sdc now!12:33
baalsgateNikas kernals do that sometimes12:34
Nikasso.. where do i need to change stuff?12:34
Nikasfstab only?12:34
baalsgateyea12:34
baalsgateread up on e2label and you can label the drives then it doesnt matter12:35
Nikasthe system boots when i type "reboot" ;) the computer does not reboot ;)12:35
baalsgatethere was a good cartoon called reboot12:36
baalsgatei always use shutdown -r now   or shutdown -h now12:37
Nikas:)12:37
baalsgatego figure having a command as obvious as reboot lol12:38
Nikashmm.. how can i see my disks and the names for them?12:38
baalsgatee2label12:39
baalsgateman e2label12:39
baalsgatee2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 filesystem located on device.12:39
Nikasi have sda sda1 sda2 sdb sdb1. need to know what disk they point too12:39
baalsgatethen in fstab use something like LABEL=boot12:40
Nikasah12:40
baalsgateinstead of the /dev/hda or /dev/sda12:40
Nikasthe shutdown-commands does boot mythbuntu ;)12:42
baalsgateso for example label your boot partition  " e2label /dev/sda1 boot "  then in fstab LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 112:43
Nikasgreat12:43
Nikasthanks¨12:43
baalsgateuse man if you want to know about a command12:43
baalsgateyou can always find out about commands from man if only women would realise that12:53
baalsgateok well im getting bored here no one knows why mythweb video is broken so i may play games for a bit then bed12:54

Nikas2i dont want to change back to 7.10. i have backup so if i cant solve it i have to15:10
KeithamusIs there any solution to the extremely slow channel change problem in mythbuntu 8.04?15:18
Nikas2I know how to solve hardlocks with windows.. but. .. linux.. i'm lost.. and it sucks15:20
Keithamushaven't tried any of this in windows... all i know is I thought my stb changed channels slowly, but this is ridiculous.15:26
Nikas2hehe my changes takes about 10 sec15:35
Keithamussame here... its abysmal.15:36
Keithamusit should take like 2 seconds max.15:37
sabhainany FAT client experts in the house?  Got some small install questions ..15:43
sabhainI've followed the instructions @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDriveWithLocalBoot in order to get my frontends fired up without hard drives15:43
sabhainit works like a champ using the mini-cd install for 8.04 LTS .. I have 2GB CF to IDE adapters and voila .. super silent front ends running pretty quick.15:44
sabhainso then I boot to the system, log in and run "sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop"15:44
sabhainbefore this point, all I have is a CLI .. no Xorg or anything else .. really small install.  My goal is to install ONLY that which mythbuntu needs to function, and not a piece of code more.15:45
sabhainso as usual with ubuntu stuff .. it just works .. goes out, pulls down the dependencies and installs everything .. I think like 300 packages ..15:46
sabhainI then reboot, it boots to NFS like it should, starts up mythbuntu splash, and I get the login.15:46
sabhainI'm able to configure and utilize the nvidia proprietary with no trouble at all .. this pleases me greatly15:47
sabhainalso able to connect the front end successfully with the remote back end.  good stuff15:47
baalsgatehi15:47
sabhainbut for some reason I have no sound. .. none .. nada .. zilch15:48
* Penfold waits for the proverbioal other shoe to drop ;)15:48
* laga wonders why sabhain just didn't use the dskless clients stuff in 8.04 ;)15:48
sabhaindidn't use diskless because I have varying hardware and am doing a few other things with the systems down the road15:49
lagaah15:49
Keithamussabhain: pulseaudio?15:49
sabhainKeithamus, is that what I need to install?15:49
sabhainI installed the gnome-alsa thing just to see what was up, and it did correctly identify my sound device (realtek-AC888), and gave me all the controls .. but nothing15:50
sabhainweird thing in the mixer was that the master & pcm controls were upside down15:51
sabhainI'll check the pulseaudio status when I get back there for lunch .. perhaps it's not a mythbuntu dependency15:52

baalsgatewhere do i find that ?15:56
lagabaalsgate: /var/log/mythtv/ and /var/log/apache*15:57
baalsgatei am not seeing any errors16:01
baalsgateim going to try a different browser16:03
baalsgateno same problem16:03
baalsgatei wonder could it be a permission issue ?16:04
Dueywhat's happening, baalsgate?16:05
baalsgatemythweb is giving me a php out of memory error for video section after upgrading to 2116:06
baalsgateFatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/objects/Video.php on line 7416:06
Dueyoh, well, I'll try searching google, otherwise I don't know16:08
baalsgatehave googled does not seem typical so must be something it does not like with my config16:08
Dueyhave you customized the mythweb plugin?  Also, it's possible, the plugin did not update when you updated mythtv16:10
baalsgatehmmm interesting i made a new video directory an put only a a few videos in it , now it works16:32
baalsgateso at some point the number of videos max's out the php16:32
baalsgateive only got a few hundred videos16:33
Duey"only", heh16:33
baalsgateyea lots of episodes of different cartoons etc16:34
Dueysounds like an interesting bug, though16:35
baalsgateyea i didnt think i had that much in there maybe its the odd different video format like ram files ect16:36
DueyI thought it would just ignore stuff it doesn't know about16:37
baalsgateyea maybe i will keep moving stuff to the new directory see if it breaks again16:39
Dueythat's probably the best way to isolate the problem16:40
baalsgatehows this imdb thing try to work16:44
baalsgatebummer they did not implement the video streem on the video section16:47
Keithamussabhain: sorry for the long delay - but yeah, 8.04 uses pulseaudio as its sound backend, so give it a try.17:13
Keithamusdoes anyone have any problems with mkv audio streams in mythvideo?17:45
Dueyanybody have any issues with the nvidia driver in 8.04?  When I have it enabled, I can't get mythfrontend to run18:06
tuxiworks for me18:08
Keithamuswhere are the config files for mythweb? its complaining that I havent set it up properly.18:19
Dueyif you have a commadline or console, try dpkg-reconfigure mythweb18:20
iamlindoro__/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf18:20
Dueyooops, sudo before that18:20
Keithamusthanks18:21
Keithamusbah18:23
Keithamusthe correct login info for the mythtv db is in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt right?18:23
iamlindoro__config.xml18:23
iamlindoro__mysql.txt is deprecated18:23
TelnetMantawhats the command to delete all channels from mythconverg channel table in mysql?18:24
iamlindoro__http://www.mail-archive.com/mythtv-users@mythtv.org/msg39208.html18:27
Keithamusboth settings are identical and its still complaining18:27
TelnetMantathanks iamlindoro_18:28
Keithamusthe password is stored as plaintext for both right?18:29
iamlindoro__yes18:29
Keithamusany ideas then?18:29
iamlindoro__check everything else.  hostname/IP, db user, etc.  Those should be identical to your config.xml as well.18:30
Keithamusdo I need to restart apache?18:30
iamlindoro__Could be18:31
Keithamusok that explains it, sorry my bad18:31
Keithamusalso, I get an error saying that mythtv failed to mount /dev/sdb every time i run the frontend. do you know anything about that?18:32
iamlindoro__you'd need to look into what sdb is on your system18:33
iamlindoro__what plugin says that?  If it's mythgallery, it's probably a card reader18:34
psicobrahi guys need a bit of help mplayer plays all my files fine through normal point and click but when i try and loads some of them through myth tv it just goes back to movie info18:35
psicobrait is when i am trying to play high def 264 mkv's mostly18:36
psicobrabut depends on what codec they were encoded in also need it to play them in x11 instead of open gl18:36
sabhainKeithamus: pulse audio was not installed by mythbuntu-desktop, so I installed it .. it brought with it some dependencies, but it still doesn't help.  I did find that I was unable to start the ALSA service in the GUI services app18:40
sabhainbut I thought that didn't matter now that 8.04 is on pulse18:40
sabhainI'm really confused and feel like I'm grasping at straws here to get sound up and running.  I was trying to avoid doing a full 8.04 LTS install before mythbuntu ..18:41
sabhainsince I only want mythbuntu running .. but how can it not install audio services??? :(18:42
psicobrasabhain, what is problem18:43
psicobrais it in mythbuntu player or in mplayer directly u are having sound problems18:45
psicobraok well i got to go if i understand u problem propery add this command to your mplayer options in your myth tv media settings −ao alsa,oss18:46
Dueyis there any other things/logs I should look at to figure out why mythfrontend isn't working with nvidia in mythbuntu 8.04?  mythfrontend.log isn't showing me anything18:49
Dueyit starts up fine without nvidia drivers18:50
psicobrabackend log?18:52
sabhainpsicobra: i have no sound at all.  I think you weren't in here when I laid it out before, but briefly, here's what I've got:18:52
sabhainI did a mini cli only install from the 8.04LTS mini cd.  I did this so that I could boot to a local CF drive, with / hosted remotely on an NFS server18:53
sabhainthat all works great .. system is diskless (essentially) boots to DHCP, goes and boots to a root drive hosted on a core server18:53
sabhainso once I'm there, i log into cli and did an 'apt-get install mythbuntu' .. it got Xorg running, correctly configured the nvidia driver for me, but I have no sound.18:54
sabhainif i install and run the gnome alsa sound manager, it sees that I have a Realtex ALC888 .. but no sound, and the master & pcm sound volume sliders are inverted.18:55
psicobrano sound at all or just while playing stuff in mplayer18:55
sabhainno sound at all18:55
psicobrado u have alsaconf?18:55
sabhainI think so .. (not there now .. so can't be sure .. but I think I checked for that).18:55
psicobrasee if u can get alsconf installed18:56
sabhainsomeone suggested pulse-audio .. and that was NOT installed by mythbuntu-desktop .. me installing it didn't change.18:56
sabhainok .. I'll try that next18:56
sabhainthe only other strange behavior I have is when I go to System / Services .. I can't unlock the applet to enable the ALSA service (It's disabled).  The gnome services thing crashes18:57
psicobrasudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils18:57
psicobrashould do it18:57
sabhaingreat .. thanks for the help and input .. I do appreciate it.18:58
psicobratry that when done run sudo alsaconf18:58
sabhainok .. thanks19:00
sabhainone other question .. is there a specific package that needs to be installed to make DVD Rip / Transcode to ISO work?19:01
psicobrasabhain, let me know if it works or if u have any more problems19:01
psicobraffmpeg19:01
psicobrais 119:01
psicobratranscode is another19:01
sabhainI had it working on a trial machine setup, but over there I had lots of stuff installed .. not just the base mythbuntu19:02
psicobrasabhain, did it work?19:09
Keithamusiamlindoro_ the mythgallery plugin says it, but it starts when mythtv does - which is irritating, because i didnt ask for it.19:13
Keithamusiamlindoro__ **19:13

buddhabadboyhi all, I have a real simple question, which I can't figure out on the website...20:55
buddhabadboyif I already have ubuntu desktop installed 8.04, and I want to install mythtv, so I can use it as well as my desktop, do I add "mythbuntu control center" from the add/remove or do I add the mythtv backend setup / front end?20:56
buddhabadboyto me, it seems that if I install the mythbuntu control center, it will convert everything I have already on my desktop, etc... and then I have to later add the desktop...20:57
buddhabadboycan anyone confirm which route to go?20:57
buddhabadboyanyone?21:03
buddhabadboyi don't know which to install from the add/remove: just mythtv, or the mythubuntu?21:04
