dustin_tt_When I click on Watch TV, my screen goes black for a few seconds and then goes back to the menu.04:05
dustin_tt_If I use TVTime, I can view the TV. Can someone help?04:06
tgm4883_laptopdustin_tt_, check the backend log for errors04:08

lent04:11
lenwork anymore.04:11
lenI used to just select ADS ir blaster from the list of supported devices, but it's gone from the setup list now.04:12
lenThe device is detected in linux as FTDI usb serial device.04:13
lenWhich ir blaster device profile do I need to choose from the setup list?04:13
dustin_tt_tgm4833_laptop. Do you want me to post my log file?04:15
tgm4883_laptopdustin_tt_, use pastebin04:16
dustin_tt_Sorry. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14432/04:18
iamlindoroHeh, you have / set as your recording directory, and only root would have write access to that04:24
iamlindoroYou need to set a proper directory that your backend user has permissions to04:24
dustin_tt_Going to check that now. Thanks. Will let you know how it went.04:28
dustin_tt_Same result, unless I did something wrong. See http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14433/04:37
iamlindoroYou did something wrong, since it's still trying to record to /04:39
dustin_tt_How can I change that?04:40
iamlindoroBy seting up all your storage groups properly in mythtv-setup04:40
dustin_tt_When I make changes and I am exiting, I see an error that says "Cannot create a file //.test - directory not writable". How do I remove that?04:45
tgm4883_laptopdustin_tt_, what directory is your recordings dir?04:51
dustin_tt_When I browse the LiveTV folder, I see / and then DirecTV04:54
tgm4883_laptopdustin_tt_, what directory did you use in your storage groups?04:55
dustin_tt_In the LiveTV group, there are two directories - / and DirecTV04:58
dustin_tt_and I cannot remove the first entry - /04:58
tgm4883_laptophit either the delete key or the d key when on it04:59
tgm4883_laptopi assume you made a DirecTV directory somewhere?04:59
tgm4883_laptopdustin_tt_, did you follow a guide?05:01
dustin_tt_I just deleted the / and yes I did create a DirecTV directory. Same result. I followed a guide, but probably entered the / in error.05:02
tgm4883_laptopok, most likely, it's a permission problem05:03
tgm4883_laptopyou need to chmod it 77505:03
tgm4883_laptopand chown it mythtv:mythtv05:03
iamlindoroalso make sure you put the whole path in mythtv-setup, not just "DirecTV," but /wherever/you/put/DirecTV05:13
iamlindoroor /DirecTV if you put it off the root filesystem, and case sensitive.05:13
dustin_tt_ok05:14
dustin_tt_Getting closer. I created a new folder - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14441/05:26
iamlindoroDid you run chmod and chown as tgm4883_laptop mentioned?05:27
iamlindoro'cause you're not going to get far without permissions set right05:28
dustin_tt_I did, but getting an error on chown05:28
iamlindorosudo chmod 775 /home/dustin/DirecTV/05:28
iamlindorosudo chown mythtv.mythtv /home/dustin/DirecTV/05:28
iamlindorothen try again05:28
dustin_tt_that was it. I was not doing a sudo on chown05:30
dustin_tt_working now guys05:30
dustin_tt_Thanks alot for everything05:30
dustin_tt_bye05:31

cosmichi @ all18:59
cosmicis there a manual for using Mythvideo with security pin ?19:02
tgm4883_laptopSeeker`, you have that problem?19:31
Seeker`tgm4883_laptop: I gave up on tvout19:33
Seeker`tgm4883_laptop: Do you know what the minimum sensible bitrate for SD TV is19:40
tgm4883_laptopSeeker`, not sure the minimum.  I use 900019:43
tgm4883_laptopSeeker`, where do you live?19:43
Seeker`UK19:44
tgm4883_laptopJust as I thought19:44
Seeker`(this is analogue TV btw)19:44
Seeker`why did you think that?19:44
tgm4883_laptopthe Black/white issue is usually a NTSC/PAL issue19:44
tgm4883_laptopmost likely, you are outputing a NTSC signal to a PAL TV19:45
tgm4883_laptopI thought it was a PAL/NTSC issue, since you are in PAL land, makes it more likely19:46
Seeker`keinNAME 9the one with the problem) is from de, which uses PAL too afaik19:46
tgm4883_laptopyea I saw that.  Unfortunatly he is gone now19:47
Seeker`hmm, spdif output does 5.1, doesn't it?19:48
tgm4883_laptopi believe so19:49
dthackerHow do I navigate to the second page of the setup screen?20:42
