[01:10] <ddgoose> hurray the glade ide is totally retarded!
[04:05] <dustin_tt_> When I click on Watch TV, my screen goes black for a few seconds and then goes back to the menu.
[04:06] <dustin_tt_> If I use TVTime, I can view the TV. Can someone help?
[04:08] <tgm4883_laptop> dustin_tt_, check the backend log for errors
[04:08] <tgm4883_laptop> /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[04:11] <len> I upgraded to Mythbuntu 8.04 and now my ir blaster doesn
[04:11] <len> t
[04:11] <len> work anymore.
[04:12] <len> I used to just select ADS ir blaster from the list of supported devices, but it's gone from the setup list now.
[04:13] <len> The device is detected in linux as FTDI usb serial device.
[04:13] <len> Which ir blaster device profile do I need to choose from the setup list?
[04:15] <dustin_tt_> tgm4833_laptop. Do you want me to post my log file?
[04:16] <tgm4883_laptop> dustin_tt_, use pastebin
[04:18] <dustin_tt_> Sorry. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14432/
[04:24] <iamlindoro> Heh, you have / set as your recording directory, and only root would have write access to that
[04:24] <iamlindoro> You need to set a proper directory that your backend user has permissions to
[04:28] <dustin_tt_> Going to check that now. Thanks. Will let you know how it went.
[04:37] <dustin_tt_> Same result, unless I did something wrong. See http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14433/
[04:39] <iamlindoro> You did something wrong, since it's still trying to record to /
[04:40] <dustin_tt_> How can I change that?
[04:40] <iamlindoro> By seting up all your storage groups properly in mythtv-setup
[04:45] <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?
[04:51] <tgm4883_laptop> dustin_tt_, what directory is your recordings dir?
[04:54] <dustin_tt_> When I browse the LiveTV folder, I see / and then DirecTV
[04:55] <tgm4883_laptop> dustin_tt_, what directory did you use in your storage groups?
[04:58] <dustin_tt_> In the LiveTV group, there are two directories - / and DirecTV
[04:58] <dustin_tt_> and I cannot remove the first entry - /
[04:59] <tgm4883_laptop> hit either the delete key or the d key when on it
[04:59] <tgm4883_laptop> i assume you made a DirecTV directory somewhere?
[05:01] <tgm4883_laptop> dustin_tt_, did you follow a guide?
[05:02] <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.
[05:03] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, most likely, it's a permission problem
[05:03] <tgm4883_laptop> you need to chmod it 775
[05:03] <tgm4883_laptop> and chown it mythtv:mythtv
[05:13] <iamlindoro> also make sure you put the whole path in mythtv-setup, not just "DirecTV," but /wherever/you/put/DirecTV
[05:13] <iamlindoro> or /DirecTV if you put it off the root filesystem, and case sensitive.
[05:14] <dustin_tt_> ok
[05:26] <dustin_tt_> Getting closer. I created a new folder - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14441/
[05:27] <iamlindoro> Did you run chmod and chown as tgm4883_laptop mentioned?
[05:28] <iamlindoro> 'cause you're not going to get far without permissions set right
[05:28] <dustin_tt_> I did, but getting an error on chown
[05:28] <iamlindoro> sudo chmod 775 /home/dustin/DirecTV/
[05:28] <iamlindoro> sudo chown mythtv.mythtv /home/dustin/DirecTV/
[05:28] <iamlindoro> then try again
[05:30] <dustin_tt_> that was it. I was not doing a sudo on chown
[05:30] <dustin_tt_> working now guys
[05:30] <dustin_tt_> Thanks alot for everything
[05:31] <dustin_tt_> bye

[18:59] <cosmic> hi @ all
[19:02] <cosmic> is there a manual for using Mythvideo with security pin ?
[19:31] <tgm4883_laptop> Seeker`, you have that problem?
[19:33] <Seeker`> tgm4883_laptop: I gave up on tvout
[19:40] <Seeker`> tgm4883_laptop: Do you know what the minimum sensible bitrate for SD TV is
[19:43] <tgm4883_laptop> Seeker`, not sure the minimum.  I use 9000
[19:43] <tgm4883_laptop> Seeker`, where do you live?
[19:44] <Seeker`> UK
[19:44] <tgm4883_laptop> Just as I thought
[19:44] <Seeker`> (this is analogue TV btw)
[19:44] <Seeker`> why did you think that?
[19:44] <tgm4883_laptop> the Black/white issue is usually a NTSC/PAL issue
[19:45] <tgm4883_laptop> most likely, you are outputing a NTSC signal to a PAL TV
[19:46] <tgm4883_laptop> I thought it was a PAL/NTSC issue, since you are in PAL land, makes it more likely
[19:46] <Seeker`> keinNAME 9the one with the problem) is from de, which uses PAL too afaik
[19:47] <tgm4883_laptop> yea I saw that.  Unfortunatly he is gone now
[19:48] <Seeker`> hmm, spdif output does 5.1, doesn't it?
[19:49] <tgm4883_laptop> i believe so
[20:42] <dthacker> How do I navigate to the second page of the setup screen?
[21:13] <trillex> huh. I finally got mythbuntu to work together with my telly but after a reboot it just disappeared.
[21:16] <trillex> and it keeps complaining about xorg crashing.
[21:36] <trillex> Either my gfxcard is defective or the drivers are a bit dodgy. It started up the first time with everything working 100%
[21:58] <Dr_Bidoof> Anyone have any luck with the Pinnacle 150e/55e?
[23:30] <Rukusx7> hey
[23:31] <tgm4883_laptop> hey
[23:31] <Rukusx7> awesokme
[23:31] <tgm4883_laptop> were the monkey's
[23:40] <Rukusx7> i'm setting up mythtv on my laptop, and i need some help.
[23:40] <Rukusx7> so far i've scanned both 82 and 91
[23:40] <Rukusx7> have the channels, and now i dont know what next. .  i also never applied any north america patches
[23:41] <Rukusx7> i've checked out howtos and what not, but i'm lost
[23:41] <tgm4883_laptop> where do you get your channel data from?
[23:41] <Rukusx7> epg?
[23:42] <Rukusx7> do you mean the channel guide?
[23:42] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[23:42] <Rukusx7> i was hoping it would grab it the same way as mytheatre does, from transponder (forget which one)
[23:43] <Rukusx7> whatever transponder channel 352 bev is on
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> you will need to mark the channel data as received from epg (in step 3), then bond it to a tuner (in step 4)
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> have you read the installation guide?
[23:44] <Rukusx7> i read a howto on happysat
[23:45] <ddgoose> Phoenix Lander mission is live on NasaTV
[23:45] <tgm4883_laptop> Rukusx7, link?
[23:46] <Rukusx7> one sec
[23:46] <Rukusx7> http://dvbn.happysat.org/viewtopic.php?t=39630
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> here is the official installation guide http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual
[23:46] <Rukusx7> i have al the channels
[23:47] <Rukusx7> i just need to know what to do now to prep my installation for North american use with sasc-ng
[23:47] <tgm4883_laptop> oh
[23:47] <tgm4883_laptop> yea, you aren't going to get help for sasc-ng here
[23:47] <Rukusx7> no, prob not
[23:48] <tgm4883_laptop> no, really not
[23:48] <Rukusx7> well lets atleast belp me with setting up the epg
[23:49] <tgm4883_laptop> check the manual
[23:52] <Rukusx7> ok well thanks for the help up to this point
