[00:12] Corvix: if you are using SD you can disable channels from your lineup from their website [00:12] SD? [00:12] guess your not, schedules direct [00:12] I'm using DVB-S in Germany [00:12] i get my schedules over EIT [00:13] would be great to be able to organise channels in groups as well ... [00:13] and have different views on the same dataset [00:13] I *think* you can do that in mythtv-setup [00:21] briefly checked, didnt look like [00:21] I know you can group recording devices [00:21] thought you could do the same with channels [00:22] not afaik [00:22] or having a custom order other then number or name ... would be greate too ... [00:23] and some conveniet manager to do all that ... I have around 1500 freetv channels and the tools ootb are not really useful there [01:15] ok im still having problems with my grey hauppage remote. [01:15] I have run irrecord, and have irw now showing keypresses [01:16] however myth still does not respond to my remote [01:31] um [01:31] ok [01:32] so i never actually checked while watching tv [01:32] .... remote seems to work while watching tv [01:32] cant navigate the menu though? [02:52] I'm getting events in irw and I tried to edit the mythtv file in /.lirc But mythtv still isn't recognising command I enter via the remote. Can anyone help? [03:12] I'm getting events in irw and I tried to edit the mythtv file in /.lirc But mythtv still isn't recognising command I enter via the remote. Can anyone help? [03:20] *rebooting to see if that helps [03:29] I'm getting events in irw and I tried to edit the mythtv lirc file But mythtv still isn't recognising command I enter via the remote (except for volume and numbers). Can anyone help? [03:31] sounds like you got stuff busted in your ~/.lirc [03:35] I don't understand how volume works. The button I get in irw is 73 0 KEY_VOLUMEUP event6. But in the mythtv config file it's set to button = VOL_UP [03:35] how = why [04:13] crazy_bus: where in myth is it not working [04:13] im still working on getting my remote working again .... it did not seem to be working but I was only testing in the main menu [04:13] it actually works while watching tv [04:14] cmdln: everywhere. Volume works. I was able to get mute and channel changing for a few minutes but I broke that [04:14] * I'm mainly trying while watching tv [04:38] cmdln: can I have your mythtv lirc file to try? [04:38] have you used irrecord? [04:40] cmdln: no, I could never get that or readmade settings to work. The zeroconf one works however [04:41] you need to have the right lircd for your remotes [04:42] cmdln: but irw is reporting all the correct buttons [04:42] ah [04:42] forgot [04:42] I stripped out everything from my ~/.lirc/mythtv config [04:42] and just got down to up down left right [04:43] made sure that the lables match whats in the lircd [04:43] like Up instead of up [04:43] and took out the remote lines as well [04:43] thats how I got it partially working in live tv [04:45] cmdln: how do you get a full mythtv config. Mine is empty except for a few comments at the top [04:47] i installed mythbuntu [04:47] so it was there [04:47] cmdln: or can you pastebin your so I can check it against the small one I made [04:47] i dont have network access to mine [04:49] cmdln: this look right? http://www.pastebin.ca/1015386 [04:50] repeat2? [04:50] mine are all repeat - [04:50] 0 [04:52] cmdln: so I put:: repeat = 0 [04:53] looks right [04:55] cmdln: pause doesn't work in livetv with that :( Though I got channel up/down working with that method [04:57] is the pause key defined in lircd? [04:57] it gives the right thing back with irw? [04:58] it gives this in irw: 77 0 KEY_PAUSE event6 [04:59] try changing Pause to KEY_PAUSE [05:01] cmdln, crazy_bus evening you guys sound like you could use a lirc expert :) [05:01] yehap [05:01] ta cmdln. I forgot to add that. It works now [05:01] me too [05:01] cool [05:02] right now im trying to get my serial blaster to work [05:02] heh i had all this working for about 3 years [05:02] and just never updated or paid any attention to anything [05:03] ouch [05:03] lots of changes in 3 years [05:03] yeh [05:03] heh actually prolly more like 4 years [05:03] stupid irsend [05:04] cant seem to get it to support sending [05:04] ok....so fill me in on where your at, your issue(s), what you have tried [05:04] i must be missing something [05:04] oh mmmm, im poking around with irsend, fiddled with the serial stuff [05:04] you should be able to setup a serial blaster from MCC [05:05] mmm [05:06] yeh thats checked [05:06] but irsend keeps sayding hardware does not support sending [05:06] what hardware is it? [05:06] and do you have more than 1 serial port? [05:07] yes and ive tried connecting to both [05:07] some old via board [05:07] well you need restart lirc after you switch ports [05:08] yeh [05:08] been doing that [05:09] k [05:09] hmm [05:09] what are you using as an ir blaster? [05:10] uh i think i bought it off irblaster.info when that guy first started making them [05:10] k [05:10] are you using any kind of serial cable between the blaster and machine? [05:11] it is a serial cable [05:11] but no extension if thats what your talking about [05:11] k [05:11] foxbuntu: do you have the default mythtv lirc file, so I don't have to look all the commands up myself (I deleted mine when I was trying to make it work) [05:12] crazy_bus, what do you mean 'default lirc commands'? [05:13] the file ~/.lirc/mythtv (the keybindings like Up, P, etc) [05:14] oh you need the mythtv keys [05:14] the application keys [05:15] crazy_bus, do you have a working /etc/lircd.conf in place? [05:15] cmdln, im thinking over it [05:16] foxbuntu: no, I tried with irrecord and premade .conf files but none worked. However the zeroconf package made irw work [05:16] cool im fiddeling in bios now [05:16] hehe [05:16] foxbuntu: *zeroconf = inputlircd [05:16] crazy_bus, did you restart mythfrontend after you made changes? [05:21] whoops [05:21] stupid laptops battery [05:21] heh [05:21] crazy_bus, what remote do you have? [05:22] foxbuntu: the one that plugs into the back of a avermedia dvb't 771 [05:28] I've got a few commands working now. [05:28] can anyone tell me why on screen displays flicker for me? [05:28] mmm so run with debug, could not connect to socket, no sufh file or directory, thats better [05:29] cmdln, sounds like progress [05:30] crazy_bus, which lirc module are you using? [05:30] ...for the remote... [05:30] assume its talking about /dev/ttyS0? but im running irsend as root, and root has write permissions [05:30] cmdln, dont run irsend as root [05:31] ...well you shouldnt at least [05:31] im just doing it for testing [05:31] foxbuntu: what do you mean? [05:32] crazy_bus, open up MCC and we will start from there [05:33] foxbuntu: but the remote is now working. I just have to type in what commands I want and what button it corresponds to [05:34] crazy_bus, well I thought you said your lircd.conf wasnt working [05:35] the few keys you have assigned in the ~/.lirc/mythtv work though? [05:35] foxbuntu: setting it up via irrecord or a preset doesn't. Using a different program inputlirc makes it work without setting anything up [05:36] HA [05:36] eat that [05:36] auto configuration is great [05:36] when it work [05:37] and when it does not its a total pita [05:37] damn [05:37] well it didnt error once :) [05:40] well im breaking stuff so i must be getting closer [05:42] I just wish I had a template so I didn't have to write the mythtv lirc config file from scratch [05:42] crazy_bus, pastebin your lircd.conf and hardware.conf [05:43] foxbuntu: why. The remote works well enough. Thanks for the offer [05:44] crazy_bus, ok...I must be confused or tired guess your issue is fixed [05:44] at any rate... [05:45] my issue now is why are all On screen displays flickering [05:45] *are [05:47] could not get file information for /dev/lirc [05:48] foxbuntu: where is that controlled? [05:48] I want to say /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [05:48] but modifying the serial section there seems to have noo effect [05:51] crazy_bus, try switching from QT to OpenGL as a painter if you havent already [05:51] cmdln, thats where it should be controlled [05:55] mmm [05:56] ok i guess that file is doing something [05:57] i must be mis-reading the error [05:57] :) [06:00] ooop [06:00] postage just went up a penny [06:36] do I update with mythfilldatabase? i.e. to download new listings? [06:38] or do I have to run tv_grab_au manually? [06:53] cmdln: do you know how to delete individual channels in setup? [06:55] <_taz_> hmmm, anyone able to get the control center to set up a IRBlaster and a IR remote? === _taz_ is now known as TazgodX [07:45] When I hold down the volume up/down keys, the volume only changes one increment. It's like there's no "key repeat" set. How can I fix this? [07:45] *I am referring to the volume up/down keys on my remote. [07:47] erpo: go to ~.lirc/mythtv look for the volume settings and change repeat to whatever you like e.g. repeat = 4 [07:58] crazy_bus: Thanks! That did it. I was staring at /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf, but that wasn't getting me anywhere. [08:00] crazy_bus: Incidentally, that also answers my other question of how to customize key mappings. [08:05] erpo: is there any chance you can pastebin the ~.lirc/mythtv file for me at www.pastebin.ca I accidently deleted mine and have only added a quarter of the commands back manually [08:05] sure :) [08:08] of course, I have a MCE remote. [08:08] http://pastebin.ca/1015479 [08:10] I have to take off. Thanks for your help! [09:35] Hi, I'm trying to install mythbuntu 8.04 but when it says loading kernel it actually reboots [09:35] And the live environment won't start either [09:53] Hi, I'm trying to install mythbuntu 8.04 but when it says loading kernel it actually reboots [09:53] Ooh, this is actually the same chatroom as at freenode, sorry for the spamming... [10:03] ok vmlinuz has a different md5sum than in the txt file [11:18] Now I am stuck at another place [11:19] At the prepare partitions menu, there is nothing in the table [11:19] nor can I create new partitions, it doesn't seem to have recognized my hard disk [11:31] ok, so I read on the forum that someone else also has a sata drive that doesn;t show up... [11:39] the sda etc do show up in dmesg [11:53] aha, the other sd* things in the dmesg are the memory card readers [11:53] So the hard disk itself doesn't show up anywhere [13:52] hi @ all [13:55] I cannot watch LiveTV anymore , heres the Error log : http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212976/ [13:55] I cannot find this entry in the DB [13:57] I fixed it , thx [13:57] how? :) [13:58] Master Backend had : Permissions denied on RECORDINGS - DIR [13:58] ;) [13:58] to much beer yesterday lol [13:59] but hey , thats a strange error message for the client , isnt it ? [13:59] sure [14:00] where i you from laga ? [14:00] are you mythbuntu devel ? [14:00] i see very often in irc [14:00] yeah, i'm one of the mythbuntu devs [14:00] i'm from germany [14:01] nices , what do you develop for mythbuntu [14:01] i help with packaging, the control centre, the diskless stuff.. [14:01] where from germany? i am from frankfurt [14:01] cool [14:01] i'm from a quaint little town in the saarland ;) [14:02] oh i see [14:03] i just wish the diskless tuff was working for everyone ;) some odd bugs keep happening [14:03] how can you invest so much time in devel , dont you work ? [14:03] haha [14:03] i'm a student :) [14:03] ;) [14:03] oh i see [14:04] how does dis diskless stuff work ? TFTP ? + PXE , something like this ? [14:04] right now i'm not spending much time on development, mostly bug triaging and stuff. the weather is too nice. [14:04] yes damn right , the weather is super in Frankfurt too [14:05] yeah, it can use PXE to get the kernel, but you can also use a USB pen drive to boot the client [14:05] here in the netherlands it is fine as well [14:05] although I still haven't fixed my issues with mythbuntu [14:05] but i am working on an mythbuntu client ,to get him work on a (CEleron 500 MHz , 192 MB RAM and 20 G Disk) ;) [14:05] i made it flexible with regards to booting beecause not everyone wants to make intrusive changes to their network [14:05] cosmic: 192MB isn't a lot ;) [14:05] I can't install because my sata disk isn't recognized [14:06] Balachmar_: is it detected in the BIOS? [14:06] laga i know , but i give it a try anyway [14:06] laga: yes, I can still boot to my ubuntu install [14:06] time to kill some services ;) [14:06] and it is detected in the bios [14:06] Balachmar_: what ubuntu install? 7.10? [14:07] the only sdx devices detected from mythbuntu install are the memory card readers [14:07] 7.04 [14:07] cosmic: /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common can save you lots of memory. up to 32M i believe [14:07] Balachmar_: does it work from the 8.04 alternate disk? [14:07] wich SATA - Mode ? , pure ore SATA/IDE ? [14:07] laga , thanks for the hint [14:07] just to be sure, the 7.04 ubuntu install is already on the hd [14:08] on the bios I could choose from ide, AHCI and raid, and I choose ide [14:08] try AHCI instead? [14:08] sounds strange [14:08] try AHCI [14:09] omg [14:09] that might break any windows installs on that box. [14:09] AHCI didn't work either :D [14:10] doesn't matter since there is no windows install on that box :D [14:11] what chipset is that? VIA? [14:11] yes [14:11] ok, just wondering. i don't have a fix, i just enjoy bashing VIA ;) [14:12] lol [14:14] Balachmar_: i wonder if there's a bug report in launchpad already for your chipset/mother board [14:16] i bet it's a problem with libata, maybe you can force it to use the older drivers.. humhumm [14:18] maybe it'll work in RAID mode? [14:18] yes, I am reading that in a bug report as well [14:19] unfortunately mythtv has to record something now, that my girlfriend wants to see... [14:19] So I have to wait in order to try it out... [14:19] (Since it will never install within 30 minutes and be working flawlessly then... [14:19] heh, true [14:20] but booting to check if the hdd is detected might be an option ;) [14:21] true am on it [14:28] nope also doesn't work [14:29] maybe you can find out what driver is used in 7.04 and check if it's also available in 8.04 [14:29] how would I do that? [14:30] the output of dmesg or lsmod might be helpful [14:34] but what am I looking for? [14:35] you're probably looking for any driver that claimed your SATA interface ;) [14:35] can't be more helpful there, sorry [14:36] saw this in my process list: /usr/sbin/system-tools-backends ... whats that ? , does anyone know [14:38] * Penfold hrms, ok. time to replace my SCART->composite cable, and see if that's teh cause of me getting no picture [14:46] I see libata 2.20 in dmesg [14:47] and if I grep lsmod for ata: I get ata_generic, libata and scsi_mod [14:47] is that any help? [15:02] Wow , its running preety fine , but i had to stop some (maybe) important services @ laga , just fyi [15:03] nice. are you using -diskless or just a normal client? [15:03] gut [15:03] oops [15:03] lol [15:03] das passiett mir au oft ;) [15:05] no i am using , a normal ubutnu 8.04 I386 server install , where i installed mythbuntu - desktop for the packages and changed the default wm to blackbox [15:05] not the finest way i know that , but i am linux noob and DAU in one Person ;) [15:06] whatever works for you :) [15:06] would you please explain the meaning of : whatever works for you [15:06] or just say it in german , plz [15:07] cosmic_: sowas wie "wenn's funktioniert ist es gut" ;) [15:07] ok [15:07] do you think the diskless version would work better ? [15:07] i dont think so [15:08] no, i was just wondering what you were using [15:08] oh i see , but i would prefer an amount of 256 MB , to have it working flew [15:09] of RAM [15:09] with -diskless, you don't have local swap by default. it'll enable network swap, but only 32M or so [15:09] and network swap is slow ;) [15:09] i will see if i get 256 MB RAM next week , by the way ... the P3 400Mhz is peforming better than an Celeron 5XX MHz , fyi [15:10] laga: network swap is shit for a client with very low resources for multimeda [15:10] p3 400? i never could get really smooth playback out of my p3 450. maybe i should have tried harder ;) [15:11] it works fine [15:11] mplayer with Videos maped over smbfs , ROCK HARD !!! [15:11] ah, i was talking about mythtv itself [15:12] and Live TV rocks too , but it stucks a little bit after PAUSE and at the start [15:12] the same for playing recordings withc are streamed by the master [15:12] the Internal player uses damn much resources [15:12] for an SUPER LOW END CLIENT [15:12] :) [15:13] but its enough for my bedroom , cause of the boards size and the case size [15:13] yup. i tried with XvMC back then and it was OK, but not as smooth as i'd have liked it to be. might have been a bad deinterlacer, though. [15:13] how big is it? [15:14] 34 cm tief 8cm hoch 27 breit [15:14] sorry for no translation but i dont now inches and stuff [15:15] metric units work just as fine. imperial units are silly ;) [15:15] what PC is that? some thin client? [15:15] :) [15:15] lol [15:15] yap [15:15] fujitsu siemens? [15:15] from Masxdata, i bought it by ebay for 30 Euros [15:16] its an Asus Board A2N or something like that [15:16] youll get this package at ebay.de [15:16] nice. i'Ve got this in my bedroom: http://www.t-online.de/international/pressebilder/t_online_s100_remote.jpg [15:17] Working with Myth ?? [15:18] yeah. it's a normal computer. celeron 733, wlan, fanless, can be powered on using the remote.. [15:18] i read in the FreeX that it is possible to install unix/linux on it or on one of these [15:18] but only 128M RAM, which sucks. [15:18] i still run feisty on it. [15:18] cool [15:18] is it working in a flew ( flüssig) [15:18] ?? [15:19] you can get them for 30€ including a router on ebay these days. i've been wondering about getting more, but i've got enough crap already :) [15:19] lol [15:19] yeah, it's quite fluent. if you use the iulius theme ;) [15:19] we all have enough CRAP , but we NEEED more !!! [15:19] my ex wife hated me for that löl [15:20] but it only works as a client , right ? [15:20] one of the biggest downsides is that you'll need a binary driver from intel to enable the tv-out. :( [15:20] laga, how does that compare to the MediaMVP? [15:20] oh [15:20] i see [15:20] some of them have a PCI slot, but i hear it's not that reliable. and the box isn'T high enough to fit a big PCI card without some modding. and only 128M RAM.. [15:21] sabhain: it's a real x86 box, not sure if you can compare something ;) [15:21] Is there a way to add a boot option when I am running the installer of mythbuntu? [15:22] Because maybe using the boot option all_generic_ide might help [15:22] laga: whats with HDD ? compact flash ? [15:22] cosmic_: i'm using an USB pen drive. [15:23] Balachmar_: yeah. just add it when booting the live disk after the -- in the boot options [15:23] and it should pick that up for regular boots, too [15:23] ok, then I will try that later [15:23] laga, so you've just installed mythbuntu directly on that? [15:24] sabhain: yes. not "directly", i debootstrapped it manually, but a regular install using the alternate disk should work just as well. [15:24] i'm also using a different wlan NIC. and i added the IEGD driver to get tv-out. [15:24] IEGD ? [15:25] intel embedded graphics driver [15:25] or something like that [15:25] hmmm .. what happens if you try to play an HD recording? [15:25] oh ok [15:25] or an ISO video file? [15:25] sabhain: it'll probably explode. [15:25] sabhain: a dvd rip ought to work just fine. [15:25] i used to stream dvds from my desktop to my bed room using VLC. [15:27] and that's an S100? Can't seem to find on ebay ... the MediaMVP works ok .. but I don't think it will pull down from the video folder .. upside is that the mvpmc install & boot was simple. But I haven't played much with it yet. [15:28] i was always going to bed a mediamvp, but it just isn't cheap enough [15:28] sabhain: they're mostly sold in germany. [15:28] t-online used to give them away as IPTV set top boxes [15:32] OK Guys now i have killed sshd as well and it runs realy good , just FYI [15:33] eeek. no sshd is scary ;) [15:33] löl [15:33] unless you've got a keyboard ;) [15:34] i have an remote Keyboard(CRAP) for Extremas , now i have to get monit work with mythfrontend ... [15:34] :) [15:34] what is the dbus dameon ????? [15:34] do i need that ? doent understand the english subscribe [15:35] it's used for inter-process communication [15:35] eg if you tell your kde/gnome to shut down, it'll hand off that message to HAL over dbus [15:35] oh ok [16:20] Hi, just for future reference: adding all_generic_ide to the boot options fixes the issue of the sata drives that were not recognized [16:21] So tonight I will go and install the latest and greatest mythbuntu version! [16:39] for what do i need myth-status [18:15] OK Guys , i dont know if it is from interest for you , but i have found a combination to let al LOW Resource Client work in a flew with mytfrontend as my bedroom Client (in my Case) , its a : Pentium III 600 Mhz with round about 192 MB RAM and >= 20 GB HDD ...... [18:16] i will trie [18:17] try with xfce , now :) [18:22] Ah , the best thing .... You dont have to stop any server , only gnome screensaver :) [18:22] server = service [18:25] Balachmar: congrats. [18:25] cosmic_: myth-status writes the status of your pending recordings to your MOTD [18:25] or whatever is displayed when you log in ;) [18:27] laga: saw your post on dev list about segfault in /lib/ld-linux.so.2 looks like the common thingie is ATI driver [18:29] ille: fglrx or radeon? [18:33] laga, radeon [18:33] i use radeon, too, and i don't get crashes. but i use my own packages. [18:33] hum. [18:34] i'm very interested in getting this fixed, but i'm not sure where to start. [18:34] laga, I'm compiling now [18:34] great [18:34] Woo. Progress :) Swapped cables from composite to SVideo input on PVR 150. ... [18:34] I have a picture... [18:34] but it's black and white :( [18:34] laga, 0.21-fixes , but should i go SVN? [18:35] ille: use -fixes. SVN is too scary right now, for me at least [18:35] laga, ok [18:35] is this likely to still be a cable issue? or is there a v4lc-ctl option I missed [18:36] laga , thanks for this information :) [18:36] cosmic_: what information? ;) [18:37] for myth-status , dude [18:37] ;) [18:37] ah [18:37] <- always confused. [18:37]
