[00:51] <superm1> jarle, um that's not a good thing
[00:51] <superm1> chmod +x configure script
[00:51] <superm1> or check executable bits on /bin/sh
[01:30] <astra-1> the alternate is broken, have to use desktop
[02:19] <BillyAbobo> I am installing Mythbuntu 8.04 on an AppleTV.  The install runs until the progress meter reads 95% then just sits there.
[02:19] <BillyAbobo> Is there a log I can read or something to see what seems to be holding up the finishing of the install
[02:23] <Egghead2> anyone get pvr-150 blaster to work under 8.04?
[02:28] <superm1> you need the firmware for it
[02:28] <superm1> the rest should be easily configurable
[02:28] <superm1> via debconf
[02:28] <Egghead2> hi superm1
[02:28] <superm1> hi
[02:28] <superm1> BillyAbobo, /var/log/syslog
[02:28] <superm1> will give you an idear
[02:28] <Egghead2> i have the firmware file
[02:29] <superm1> Egghead2, okay then is lirc-pvr150 loading?
[02:29] <superm1> or lirc-i2c?
[02:29] <Egghead2> i tried that too :)
[02:30] <Egghead2> i get an error using irsend, transmission failed
[02:30] <Egghead2> oops, yes it is loading (lirc_pvr150)
[02:31] <Egghead2> i also tried the ic2, but still get same error, when sending , irsend
[02:33] <superm1> dont use the i2c at all
[02:33] <superm1> you just need the lirc-pvr150 module loaded
[02:33] <superm1> and look at dmesg
[02:34] <Egghead2> want me to post the dmesg?
[02:34] <superm1> !pastebin it
[02:34] <Egghead2> ok
[02:38] <Egghead2> ok, http://pastebin.com/m49d761d0
[02:49] <superm1> Egghead2, okay so it looks like the lircd.conf is bad
[02:49] <superm1> lets see it
[02:49] <Egghead2> k
[02:50] <Egghead2> http://pastebin.com/m69ec4794
[02:51] <superm1> that doesnt look like the special conf that you need for a pvr-150?
[02:51] <superm1> i dont know that it can just blast with generic configs like that
[02:51] <superm1> it needs very specific stuff i thought
[02:51] <superm1> from a remote db or something
[02:53] <Egghead2> are u talking about the dish remote? or other below it?
[02:54] <superm1> both
[02:54] <superm1> i've seen confs that the pvr150 ends up using
[02:54] <superm1> and they dont look much like that
[02:54] <superm1> they have all these raw codes and stuff
[02:54] <Egghead2> ahh ic
[02:55] <Egghead2> your right, i have it working before 8.04, with raw codes
[02:55] <Egghead2> i thought that lirc changed its format or somthing like that
[02:56] <Egghead2> ill try the old files that i have backed up, and see if they work
[03:00] <Egghead2> thanks for the help :)
[03:11] <Egghead2> superm1, that seems to have done the trick
[03:12] <Egghead2> hmmm, why then does the setup point to the include files in, include /usr/share/lirc/transmitters/dish/general.conf
[03:12] <Egghead2> if thoes file dont work?
[03:13] <superm1> well file a bug
[03:13] <superm1> that wasn't verified
[03:13] <superm1> against lirc ideally
[03:15] <Egghead2> well hay thanks again, once again u got me going :)
[11:01] <pretender> mytharchive DVDs' not playing on DVD players even though it says the DVD was burnt successfully.  Any ideas
[13:51] <Ward1983> whats the best way to install mythbuntu on a hardy system?
[13:59] <Ward1983> is this the best way for hardy too? http://mythbuntu.org/download/getmythbuntu.php
[14:19] <laga> it's one of the better ways, yes :)
[14:32] <cmug> lets see if live works with my t61 wireless..
[14:35] <cmug> works like a charm..
[15:17] <slestak> i am trying to do a fresh install of hardy for my mythbox.  im getting a ton on sr0 errors in dmesg, and errors on install.  I have used this cd to install on numerous other systems so I dont doubt the cd burn.
[15:18] <slestak> i do have a functioning install of ubuntu on the box now after dl the required packages from the repos.
[15:21] <slestak> nevermind, im still forming the question.  do some more googleing
[15:40] <ward_> i cant get my system to scan for hostst the way it should
[15:41] <ward_> first it found a TON of channels but 90percent of it were no channels...
[15:41] <ward_> jsut random snow
[15:42] <ward_> then everything seems to be the exact same channel
[15:42] <ward_> what do i miss?
[16:07] <slestak> i remember with my last install, there was an optio mentioning EIT that I had to enable to get a succesful scan
[16:08] <slestak> are you talking SD or HD?
[16:27] <ward_> SD
[16:27] <ward_> slestak, SD, sorry
[17:29] <a1fa> hello
[17:29] <a1fa> is 0.21-fixes included with default mythbuntu install?
[17:29] <a1fa> or do i need to click somehwere for it to update to 0.21?
[17:31] <tgm4883_laptop> a1fa, mythbuntu 8.04 has 0.21
[17:31] <tgm4883_laptop> not sure about 0.21-fixes though
[17:31] <a1fa> how about fixes?
[17:32] <a1fa> i am runing 8.04
[17:32] <tgm4883_laptop> there is a weekly build repo
[17:32] <a1fa> i just dont know about fixes
[17:33] <a1fa> my streamzap controler is also having issues
[17:33] <a1fa> FF or RR dont work
[17:33] <a1fa> i cant skip scenes like i used to
[17:42] <slestak> is envy necessary for nvidia, or are the repo drivers "Good Enough" for myth?
[17:42] <slestak> im speaking for Hardy, so I guess that would be EnvyNG
[18:07] <MythbuntuGuest45> hi
[18:16] <Therock_> do any body know if there is someway to have 2 "live tv" profiles, one for wired connection and one for wireless ?
[18:47] <MythbuntuGuest07> anyone here?
[18:48] <hugolp> no
[18:48] <hugolp> we are all bots
[18:50] <MythbuntuGuest07> thats ok :-)
[18:51] <sabhain> slestak, no .. envy shouldn't be needed.  In 8.04 the latest proprietary drivers seem quite stable.  I've built 3 FE's with it in the past 2 weeks, and the proprietary loads nicely and runs SD & HD playback quite well
[18:51] <MythbuntuGuest07> any bot could help me to mount permanently a windows share to my mythbuntu client :-)??
[18:52] <slestak> sabhain: tyvm
[18:53] <slestak> is there a good answer for myth hd to lcdtv for video cards that dont support hdcp.  i was using a dvi to vga dongle to vga input on lcd tv, but i sure wish i could use my hdmi input
[18:56] <sabhain> slestak: you're welcome ..
[18:56] <ille> MythbuntuGuest07: I think you should edit the /etc/fstab
[18:57] <sabhain> as for the hdcp thing .. I don't know it's a big issue.  I have a DVI input lcd projection unit and an HDMI lcd .. and hdcp doesn't get in the way of either.  HDCP really only matters if you're trying to capture the output of a DVD player or a cable STB
[18:57] <sabhain> since you're using a tuner card and scanning for channels .. it should be a non-factor (I think .. )
[18:58] <sabhain> if you have DVI out of your nvidia, you ought to be able to just get an adapter from dvi to hdmi, right?  I know I have the reverse on hand here.  The catch will be you still need to run separate audio since the audio doesn't get sent through DVI
[18:58] <slestak> i was just assuming that was my issue.  when i connect my mythbox to my vizio hdtv via a dvi - hdmi cable, I get a blue screen.  i just assumed that it was hdcp
[18:59] <slestak> i was previously using a radeon 9600 w dvi out.  ive just replaced it with an nvidia gt6200 so I can get xvmc
[18:59] <sabhain> slestak, .. hmmm not sure what to make of that.  What version of ubuntu are you running?
[19:00] <slestak> that instance was gutsy woth 20.2 then 21 backport.  i am currently working on a fresh install of hardy xubuntu
[19:00] <slestak> havent gotten very far on it though
[19:01] <ille> slestak: I also have a 6200 card , do have a flickering OSD when enabling XvMC?
[19:02] <ille> slestak: CPU load goes from 60% to 25% playing SD on my old AMD
[19:02] <sabhain> slestak, have you gotten to the stage of running nvidia-settings (as root / sudo) to setup the LCD on the system?
[19:02] <sabhain> I'
[19:02] <slestak> i had a complete inability to view most recorded contrent with my old 9600 + gutsy rig.  i assumed it was ati drivers (tried fglrx and others)
[19:03] <slestak> hoping that going to nvidia will get better performance.
[19:03] <sabhain> I'm curious as to perhaps there may be just a modeline issue w/ nvidia that you need to clear up
[19:03] <ille> slestak: what res do you use on the LCD?
[19:03] <slestak> no, because of an intel chipset issue and a cdrom, i have not gotten x running on it
[19:03] <ille> slestak: the native res?
[19:03] <slestak> ille: have tried numerous, prob not native res, that is like 1366xsth
[19:04] <slestak> do you guys use the native res?
[19:04] <slestak> wasnt sure if my 128M ati 9600 could push that resolution
[19:04] <slestak> i think i was using 1024x768 last
[19:04] <ille> slestak: my is 32" is 1366x768 but is only running at 1360x768 pixel mapped.
[19:04] <slestak> maybe 1200 x 800
[19:05] <slestak> could I get a copy of your xorg.conf
[19:05] <ille> slestak: sure!
[19:05] <slestak> maybe pastebin it
[19:07] <ille> slestak: http://pastebin.com/m78b01d0
[19:08] <slestak> thanks.
[19:08] <slestak> what lcd tv do you have?  ive got a vizio.  anyone using a dvico hdtv 5 gold?
[19:09] <ille> slestak: an 2.5 year old LG LX2
[19:10] <MythbuntuGuest07> fuck i couldnt install any software, no smbclient no smbfs, is archive.ubuntu down?
[19:10] <slestak> the goal though is to get 1360x768 rendered so there will not be any scaling occuring?
[19:10] <slestak> MythbuntuGuest07: its been like a yoy at least since yesterday
[19:10] <slestak> yoyo
[19:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> and how to install smbclient now :-)?
[19:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> im a linux noob :-/
[19:12] <ille> slestak: yes, 1360x768 is really great looking.
[19:13] <sabhain> slestak, my approach would be to get Xorg up and running on a monitor first before moving over to the LCD .. separate the 2 issues .. but that's me.
[19:16] <slestak> sabhain: that will work, I have both.  do you think i will be able to use 1360x768 over vga input?
[19:19] <slestak> MythbuntuGuest07: wait for it to come up, try again in a few minutes.  or you can change your repos to a different country.  are you in us?
[19:20] <sabhain> so long as your monitor can accept that mode.  my thought is to just GET X RUNNING first with your hardware setup.  Once you can get X running, using the nvidia driver .. install the nvidia-settings package to configure it .. after you get the basic Xorg running on the right driver, then the nvidia-settings makes setup of TV / resolutions a snap.
[19:21] <sabhain> MythbuntuGuest07, try Mexico .. the past week or so since 8.04 LTS was released, I've found that mirror to have far fewer timeouts and delays than the US mirrors.
[19:33] <deviantintegral> is there a way to make mythvideo treat a folder as an item? I would like to have directories with all of the files / covers for each video so they are easy to move as a package
[20:04] <MythbuntuGuest07> so now i have a question
[20:04] <MythbuntuGuest07> in media, i can give mythbuntu the source of my videos
[20:05] <jarle> I am in the process of compiling mythtv on a new ubuntu system, and again I have to figure out which pacakages I need to install... any help?
[20:05] <MythbuntuGuest07> can mythbuntu handle subfolders?
[20:05] <pdragon> in the videos folder? ues
[20:05] <pdragon> yes
[20:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> and if the video folder is a mounted folder?
[20:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> my mountpoint is for example mnt/video
[20:06] <pdragon> shouldn't matter
[20:06] <pdragon> my videos folder is on a different hard drive than the system
[20:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> and in the normal frontend i could play my videos and see my subfolders
[20:06] <pdragon> yep
[20:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> but in mythtv frontend
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> i gave him as source mnt/video
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> and he says no files
[20:07] <pdragon> you have to go to setup and scan the videos folder first
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> same thing with musik
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> oh
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> where i can do that?
[20:07] <pdragon> Video Manager in the setup i think
[20:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> oh ok
[20:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> i would try this now
[20:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> will gave u a repead
[20:08] <pdragon> there's a setting so it automatically tries to scan the videos folder when you browse it, but it doesn't keep it 100% current all the time
[20:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> mmm
[20:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> so
[20:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> i tried
[20:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> but he says
[20:11] <MythbuntuGuest07> no files
[20:22] <pdragon> did you set the videos folder to your mounted location in the setup?
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> so
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> n0ow it works fine :-)
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> im stupid
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> this board has 2 network cards
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> and sometimes he take the first sometimes he take the second
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> now i deactivate the second
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> and now it works
[20:25] <MythbuntuGuest07> all but optical sound output :-/
[20:26] <MythbuntuGuest07> any ideo to activate it?
[20:29] <pdragon> run alsamixer and unmute iec958
[20:29] <pdragon> just select it and hit "m" to change the MM to zeros i think
[20:30] <pdragon> then you have to go in the setup (i don't remember exactly where) and change the sound output to ALSA:spdif
[20:30] <pdragon> and turn on the two spdif filter options
[20:31] <MythbuntuGuest07> where i can run alsamixer
[20:31] <pdragon> from the command line
[20:31] <pdragon> ssh in or start one up on screen
[20:32] <pdragon> if that's unmuted properly, you should get light coming out the optical connector
[20:33] <pdragon> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound_with_AC3_and_SPDIF
[20:33] <pdragon> i honestly didn't have to do anything with any config files
[20:33] <pdragon> i just unmuted it and did the " Configure MythTV for Digital Sound" section and it worked
[20:34] <pdragon> I had to change mine to ALSA:spdif not ALSA default tho
[20:37] <MythbuntuGuest07> mmm
[20:37] <MythbuntuGuest07> so theres a light coming out of my cable
[20:37] <MythbuntuGuest07> but no sound
[20:38] <pdragon> well, means alsa at least recognizes your spdif out
[20:38] <pdragon> you do the settings in Mythtv?
[20:39] <MythbuntuGuest07> my iec 958 is turned off
[20:39] <MythbuntuGuest07> in the alsamixer
[20:39] <MythbuntuGuest07> how to turn it on :-/?
[20:39] <pdragon> hit M
[20:40] <pdragon> did you go to that page i linked?
[20:40] <MythbuntuGuest07> jey
[20:40] <MythbuntuGuest07> my english is very bad sorry :-/
[20:40] <pdragon> it's fine :)
[20:41] <MythbuntuGuest07> ok its on now
[20:41] <MythbuntuGuest07> :-)
[20:43] <pdragon> oh, i did have to change the command for mplayer to activate ac3 audio for my video files
[20:43] <pdragon> it's on that page. just add
[20:43] <pdragon> -ac hwac3
[20:43] <pdragon> somewhere in the mplayer command
[20:43] <pdragon> livetv and recordings go off the settings in MythTV General Setup
[20:44] <MythbuntuGuest07> oh
[20:44] <pdragon> sorry, forgot about that
[20:44] <MythbuntuGuest07> i only want to play my dokus and my musiks, all on my server
[20:44] <MythbuntuGuest07> so in settings i changed to alsa spdif
[20:45] <MythbuntuGuest07> and second option to this alsa iec958
[20:46] <pdragon> not sure about music, but i think if you get livetv or recordings to work, the music should work
[20:46] <pdragon> for videos, you will have to change the mplayer command in the video settings section
[20:47] <MythbuntuGuest07> and to what i have it to change
[20:47] <pdragon> the option:  -ac hwac3
[20:47] <pdragon> add that option
[20:51] <MythbuntuGuest07> so i reboot
[20:53] <pdragon> shouldn't have to but you can
[20:56] <MythbuntuGuest07> it dont work
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest07> in alsa mixer, what channels do i have to push
[20:57] <pdragon> i'm not sure then. mine worked for playing videos as soon as i added that mplayer
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest07> master is at 100 percent
[20:57] <pdragon> option
[20:57] <pdragon> those don't matter
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest07> i added this option
[20:57] <pdragon> spdif doesn't use volume
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest07> ok
[20:57] <pdragon> volume is controlled by whatever you plug it in to
[20:58] <MythbuntuGuest07> a took alsa spdif now an as passthrough iec958
[20:58] <MythbuntuGuest07> ah ok
[21:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> so
[21:06] <MythbuntuGuest07> if i go to the normal linux user interface
[21:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> i hear sound
[21:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> i can play my videos and musiks and all have sound
[21:07] <pdragon> sound is going out through spdif?
[21:07] <MythbuntuGuest07> yes
[21:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> but not in mythtv
[21:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> only in normal linux mode
[21:08] <pdragon> you're playing videos from the video folder?
[21:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> yes
[21:08] <pdragon> something isn't right in the video player command then
[21:08] <MythbuntuGuest07> the mounted folder of my server
[21:09] <MythbuntuGuest07> but the musik doesn t work too
[21:09] <pdragon> what do you have in there for the video player command?
[21:09] <MythbuntuGuest07> in linux mode musik and video work fine
[21:09] <MythbuntuGuest07> in mythtv mode nothing works
[21:09] <MythbuntuGuest07> i i have to go to my living room and look 4 it
[21:16] <MythbuntuGuest07> oh
[21:17] <MythbuntuGuest07> i deleted the -ac hwac3 command and now video works
[21:17] <MythbuntuGuest07> but musik dont
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest07> so i want to go to bed now
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest07> thanks for your great help
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest07> tomorrow i trie the musik part
[21:22] <MythbuntuGuest07> :-)
[21:23] <MythbuntuGuest07> have a good night
[23:59] <abarbaccia> ﻿hey guys - when you record in mpeg2 (pvr150) and then go to archive to DVD, does it need to transcode again?
