| selfsk | hi all | 11:16 |
| selfsk | guys, can someone explain how to start using mythubuntu with twinhan 1034 (DVB-S) cards? | 11:16 |
| laga | what's the problem? | 11:26 |
| selfsk | I don't see any cards at all | 11:30 |
| selfsk | I loaded dvb-bt8xx module | 11:30 |
| Seeker` | selfsk: is there anything relevant in dmesg? | 11:32 |
| laga | selfsk: do they show up in lspci? | 11:33 |
| EvilGuru | Hi, I have just installed the mythweather plugin, however can not work out how to select the UK BBC source. I can get the NDFD | 11:34 |
| tc111 | Problem... scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ sudo -s / [sudo] password for scarter: / Aborted / scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ ... what the heck is 'Aborted'? | 11:35 |
| selfsk | Seeker` : noop | 11:35 |
| EvilGuru | Can anyone advise me on this? | 11:35 |
| selfsk | just common words: bttv loaded, and audio driver loaded | 11:36 |
| selfsk | i suppose i should get something like card name/type etc. | 11:36 |
| laga | EvilGuru: ask in #ubuntu - there are more peopl | 11:37 |
| laga | e | 11:37 |
| selfsk | what about twinhan? does someone has a succesfull experience with it? | 11:49 |
| EvilGuru | It seem as if the issue was caused by a missing package | 12:02 |
| EvilGuru | A sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl fixed it5 | 12:02 |
| gbj | Can't get signal after upgrade to 8.10 using Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 worked on 7.10? | 12:11 |
| nflava | anyone know what would cause my tv sound to work one day then not the next in mythtv | 15:26 |
| sabhain | any expert rippers in the room? | 15:56 |
| sabhain | I'm trying to figure out how to rip to iso from command line in my backend .. is this doable on a backend only? | 15:56 |
| sabhain | would like to back up a bunch of home movie / dvd's right to ISO's .. rather than tying up a frontend to do it .. | 15:57 |
| sabhain | seems like there's gotta be a cli script for this .. but google gives me older stuff that isn't working just right | 15:57 |
| szakulec | it's possible- but you'll end up with a bunch of ISO's that have CSS on them still | 15:57 |
| sabhain | but won't playback get around the css issue? you can playback css dvd's without ripping them | 15:58 |
| szakulec | if you have the library, then yes | 15:58 |
| szakulec | http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-ISO-File-in-Linux | 15:59 |
| szakulec | that should tell you how to create an ISO of a CD (or DVD) | 15:59 |
| sabhain | well most of what I'm trying to do is home generated DVD's .. I have a panasonic dvd cam corder | 15:59 |
| szakulec | just remember, it's going to be 4.7 GB | 15:59 |
| sabhain | so would css even be in play for that? | 15:59 |
| szakulec | nope | 15:59 |
| sabhain | i'll try that .. thanks for the input | 16:01 |
| szakulec | here's a slightly more detailed one for ubuntu-type distros: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6509.html | 16:01 |
| sabhain | so if the DVD is dual layer .. maybe I'm better off copying the directory structure, and then using mkisofs? .. you're referring to a size limit on the dd command? | 16:10 |
| sabhain | fyi .. worked well on dual layer DVD! 8.5 GB .. great advice szakulec | 16:43 |
| darthanubis | Sorry, failed to fetch http://localhost:6544/xml. | 17:48 |
| sabhain | exit | 17:51 |
| rhpot1991 | just use ddrepair | 18:05 |
| rhpot1991 | errr | 18:05 |
| rhpot1991 | ddrescue | 18:05 |
| rhpot1991 | ddrescue -d /dev/dvd NAME_OF.iso NAME_OF.iso.log | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | and then you can ^c and resume it | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | haven't seen a dvd that it hasn't worked on | 18:06 |
| laga | rhpot1991: so, you use dd_rescue to rip dvds? | 19:14 |
| omnibrown | hello, looking for some help getting mkv/x264 content to play | 19:26 |
| omnibrown | all my other media plays well with the default mythtv settings | 19:27 |
| omnibrown | I'm running 8.04 with the current nvidia driver, 169.12 | 19:46 |
| omnibrown | mplayer hangs on mkv files most are x264/avc 720p/1080p | 19:46 |
| omnibrown | hardware is AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core; 2 GB RAM; nVidia GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 6 | 19:49 |
| omnibrown | 30a | 19:49 |
| omnibrown | I've tried mplayer with various options and niceness, best luck is having a movie play for like 5 mins, then the screen freezes, and then the pc freezes | 19:50 |
| omnibrown | all my avi, lo-def content plays great | 19:51 |
| laga | if your box freezes, something is very broken | 19:51 |
| omnibrown | well it gets real slow at the console, I can still ssh in | 19:54 |
| laga | ah | 19:54 |
| laga | well, what does top say? | 19:54 |
| omnibrown | the cpu goes up to as much as 60% depending on the niceness | 19:55 |
| laga | and memory usage? | 19:55 |
| omnibrown | about half of the 2 GB, no swapping | 19:56 |
| laga | hum | 19:56 |
| laga | anything interesting in vmstat? | 19:56 |
| omnibrown | haven't check it out | 19:56 |
| laga | run "vmstat 1", but the output is a bit hard to parse. | 19:56 |
| laga | the first line is usually bogus | 19:56 |
| omnibrown | ok I've got it running, any special way I should run mplayer? like mplayer -ac hwdts -vfm ffmpeg -lvadopts threads=2:fast:skiploopfilter=all file.mkv | 19:59 |
| laga | no clue, i usually dont do a lot with x264 movies | 19:59 |
| omnibrown | ok, I'll kick off a movie with vmstat running and see what happends | 20:00 |

| nespinosa | hi everybody! | 20:13 |
| omnibrown | hello | 20:13 |
| JDStone | what does auto-transcode do? | 20:16 |
| nespinosa | I have some problems watching livetv. I don't understand why. I have done a channel research but I have sputtering and lag.This is my mythbackend log : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14862/plain/. Could you help me ? | 20:17 |
| nespinosa | Let me say it again. So, I have done a manuel channel research. | 20:18 |
| nespinosa | but when I want to watch tv, I have some sputtering an lag. You can see above my mythbackend log. | 20:19 |
| JDStone | nespinosa: have you looked into the Unknown video codec error? | 20:20 |
| omnibrown | laga: anyother ideas? | 20:20 |
| nespinosa | What should I do ? Install a codec via mythbuntu centre ? | 20:21 |
| JDStone | nespinosa: follow the instructions | 20:22 |
| JDStone | it tells you what to do | 20:22 |
| JDStone | nespinosa: "2008-05-26 21:05:06.571 NVR(/dev/video0): Unknown video codec. Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles. Assuming RTjpeg for now. | 20:23 |
| JDStone | " | 20:23 |
| laga | omnibrown: maybe your CPU is overheating? :( | 20:24 |
| omnibrown | I can check that through /proc? | 20:25 |
| laga | dunno :) | 20:25 |
| laga | maybe "acpi" will display the temperature | 20:25 |
| omnibrown | I'll check | 20:28 |
| omnibrown | anybody that joined recently have luck with HD mkv files & mplayer? | 20:29 |
| nespinosa | what does the log mean by setup the profile. I do not know what to modify. | 20:34 |
| nespinosa | sofware encoder profiles are already RTjpeg. | 20:35 |
| nespinosa | Ok, I do not have codec errors. But I have sputtering. Here is my backend log :http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14876/plain/ | 21:01 |
| nespinosa | Is there someone ? | 21:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nespinosa, what are your machine specs? | 21:11 |
| nespinosa | I Thomas. We spoke on sunday. | 21:16 |
| nespinosa | So I have a pctv stereo analogue card. | 21:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 21:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but what are your actually machine specs | 21:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | most notably, ram and cpu | 21:17 |
| nespinosa | My machine is a 2,4 ghz cpu, ram = 512 mo | 21:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | restricted drivers installed? | 21:17 |
| nespinosa | Let me check. | 21:18 |
| nespinosa | do you mean linux restricted modules ? | 21:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your video card drivers | 21:20 |
| nespinosa | I do not have proprietary drivers installed on the computer | 21:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what video card? | 21:21 |
| nespinosa | it is an ati 9200 radeon video card I think | 21:21 |
| nespinosa | Should I install restricted drivers ? Tv works well on TVtime. I don't know if it could be a sign? | 21:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no, sounds ok | 21:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | why are your software encoder profiles RTjpeg? | 21:26 |
| nespinosa | why ? I don't know. I have never modified them. | 21:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lets try something | 21:28 |
| nespinosa | I am ready | 21:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is this live tv only problem or does it happen for recordingns too | 21:28 |
| nespinosa | I have never tried recordings. I would have like to use tv. | 21:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | try recording something for a few minutes. Then stop the recording and see if it fixes it | 21:30 |
| nespinosa | I press R key for a few minutes and R key another time ? | 21:31 |
| laga | crap. | 21:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no, setup a recording from the frontend not while in live tv | 21:32 |
| laga | mplayer worked a few times and now that i'vwe got all arguments right, the alsa device can't be opened | 21:32 |
| * laga stabs alsa | 21:32 | |
| laga | of course, this ALWAYS happens when i have the GF over to watch a movie. | 21:32 |
| nespinosa | ok. | 21:34 |
| nespinosa | The recording doesn't work. Frontend writes : recording failed | 21:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you scan the channels from mythtv-setup? | 21:38 |
| nespinosa | yes I have scan the channel. | 21:38 |
| nespinosa | I have a big list of channels. Somes of them are marked as found channels. | 21:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | some are marked as found? | 21:40 |
| nespinosa | let me run my backend | 21:40 |
| nespinosa | sorry, here is one of my channels lines : (unnamed : 1060) (60) (essai) with essai : my video source name, 60 should be the channel number ? | 21:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nespinosa, where do you get your channel data from again? | 21:45 |
| nespinosa | I have launched the channel search in the channel editing menu | 21:46 |
| omnibrown | laga: my cpu was at 27 C after the mkv playback crashed | 21:50 |
| nespinosa | is it possible that the pre-set tuner channel number (in input video) could be the problem ? | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | seems ok, cricial is listed as 90 C | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | from /proc/acpi ... | 21:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | omnibrown, i'd think critical more around 70C | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | critical (S5): 90 C | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | passive: 80 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=60 devices=CPU0 | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | active[0]: 80 C: devices= FAN | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | that's what's in there | 21:51 |
| omnibrown | but maybe so | 21:52 |
| omnibrown | either way it doesn't seem like the cpu is over heating | 21:52 |
| omnibrown | BTW, I'm trying to play HD mkv/264/avc files with mplayer | 21:52 |
| omnibrown | no luck :-( | 21:53 |
| nespinosa | I am erasing my channel. I redo the channel search . | 21:55 |
| nespinosa | If I understand well, search channel and search guide data is separated. Once you have found your channels, you associate each channels to id guide data. Is that correct ? | 21:58 |
| nespinosa | Eureka! Thomas! | 22:02 |
| nespinosa | the live tv works ! | 22:02 |
| nespinosa | Thank you for all. See you. | 22:07 |
| leprechau | so..I've been playing with the diskless server | 23:09 |
| leprechau | so far so good | 23:09 |
| leprechau | I have a couple of diskless boxes up and running | 23:09 |
| leprechau | problem....my /etc/fstab is always reset on every reboot | 23:09 |
| leprechau | so my nfs mounts never come back | 23:09 |
| leprechau | for my videos/recordings/etc... | 23:09 |
