stu | also, when I press my play/pause button irw shows a4 0 KEY_PLAYPAUSE event 1 .... what do I put in lircrc as the button? PLAYPAUSE? or KEY_PLAYPAUSE? | 00:01 |

avihayb | bahh, mythTV isn't self explanetoty enough for me to wing it, and the mythTV documentation dosn't help me much... | 00:25 |
szakulec | avihayb: got a question? | 00:45 |
rday | Is there anyone out there that may be able to help with a capture card/video card conflict? | 00:57 |
dolphin | how would i test to see how fast my wireless connection is?? i'm trying to stream video over this 802.11g (supposedly) chip... but it's not working like my other laptop | 01:53 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, what frame rate is the video? | 01:55 |
dolphin | it shows a frame per several seconda | 01:55 |
dolphin | seconds | 01:55 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, ok...but what was the frame rate of the recording | 01:56 |
dolphin | umm... whatever the default is | 01:56 |
foxbuntu | is it SD or HD? | 01:57 |
dolphin | sd | 01:57 |
foxbuntu | do you have good reception on your Wifi connection (ie. max power, close to the AP?) | 01:57 |
dolphin | absolutely | 01:58 |
dolphin | i'm right next to my ASUS wl500g premium router | 01:58 |
dolphin | other laptop works great | 01:59 |
foxbuntu | hmm | 01:59 |
foxbuntu | could be video rather than wifi | 01:59 |
foxbuntu | what video card does the laptop thats not working have in it? | 02:00 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: i don't buy laptops that don't use intel all the way around... it's X3100 | 02:01 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, you can exit the frontend and right click on the network manager to get connection info nd find out what speed you are connected at | 02:04 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: says 48Mb/s | 02:06 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, well, your G connection is good then | 02:06 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, what playback profile re you using? | 02:07 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: hmm... playback "group" seems to be Default | 02:09 |
dolphin | recording profile is MPEG-2 PS... but that shouldn't matter since it works fine on my other, older intel-based laptop | 02:10 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, right but there is a playback profile too | 02:11 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, have you tried just copying one of those files local to the laptop and playing it to rule out the wifi? | 02:12 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: that's not what i'm after. i REALLY want the frontend to work just like the other laptop | 02:13 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, I know thats not what you want but you need to rule out things to find the problem to fix the problem | 02:14 |
dolphin | my backend has a 1TB harddrive with 2 tuners.... i don't want to copy each file at a time when i should be capable of watching shows/movies on the fly while automagically skipping thru commercials | 02:14 |
dolphin | true that... | 02:14 |
dolphin | hold please | 02:15 |
pcglue | My PVR-350 stopped recording sound (when I do "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg") after upgrading from gutsy to hardy (kernel 2.6.24-16). Video is still fine though. Does anyone know why? | 02:16 |
pcglue | This is first kernel version I've used where ivtv is part of the kernel. Are new options needed or some other extra configuration needed? | 02:16 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, nope, it should just work | 02:16 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, I would check your recording options in the backend and frontend to make sure that something didnt get changed in the tuner's options | 02:17 |
pcglue | I still don't have sound when I do "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg", does the mythtv recording options affect that? | 02:18 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, oh right...duh | 02:18 |
foxbuntu | no | 02:18 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: scp is copying at 2.7MB/s... so, i'm thinking this prolly is a video issue | 02:19 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, more than likley | 02:19 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, thats about what my laptop runs on my G network | 02:19 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, is the frontend on this laptop running with opengl or qt? | 02:20 |
pcglue | i don't see any errors in dmesg, so I'm stumped and don't know what to do/check next | 02:20 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, you might dist-upgrade again there is a newer kernel than -16 | 02:21 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: qt | 02:21 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, switch it to opengl | 02:21 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:22 |
foxbuntu | pcglue, that will ensure you grab all the updates | 02:22 |
foxbuntu | then reboot and try it again | 02:22 |
pcglue | foxbuntu, ok, i'll try that. thanks | 02:22 |
=== Jasonl is now known as Jasonw | ||
dolphin | foxbuntu: so, wireless seems to be working at sufficient speed... and video plays fine once copied... | 02:36 |
dolphin | so, i'm guessing the problem is lying somewhere with the frontend | 02:36 |
Jasonlw | ellos, curious if anyone would help me troubleshoot a usb gamepad for controlling mythtv? | 02:36 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, I agree, did you change to opengl? | 02:37 |
dolphin | foxbuntu: yup.. and still no go | 02:37 |
foxbuntu | dolphin, it plays fine local but not over the network... hmmm | 02:39 |
foxbuntu | but your network speed seems fine | 02:39 |

Bob24 | can someone please tell me how to do a package list update on mythbunu? | 10:56 |
Bob24 | anyone plz | 10:59 |
ddgoose | Bob24: you should dist-upgrade if possible | 11:02 |
ddgoose | like --> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:03 |
Bob24 | what does this do | 11:06 |
Bob24 | ? | 11:06 |
ddgoose | upgrades you to release Hardy heron | 11:06 |
Bob24 | i did that but still on gusty thats fine | 11:10 |
Bob24 | the prob is that i am getting this error when i try to install libdvdcss2 | 11:10 |
Bob24 | Package libdvdcss2 has no available version, but exists in the database. | 11:11 |
Bob24 | u think if i upgrade to Hardy Heron it will fix this? | 11:13 |
Bob24 | what would u suggest ddgoose? | 11:16 |

stu | can anyone tell me if its possible to get MythTv working with inputlirc .... I can't find any documentation about the subject | 17:48 |
stu | can anyone tell me if its possible to get MythTv working with inputlirc .... I can't find any documentation about the subject | 18:00 |
stu | sorry about posting that and dissapearing had to logout | 18:00 |
Easy_Rider9999 | what is inputlirc? | 18:01 |
Easy_Rider9999 | Documentation about lirc you find in http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ | 18:04 |
laga | stu: whats the problem with inputlirc? | 18:10 |
stu | nothing its working... I just want to know if I can make it work with MythTV | 18:41 |
stu | I have it working with mplayer | 18:41 |
stu | laga ^ | 18:42 |
laga | stu: yes | 18:49 |
stu | I have an iMac and out of the box on Hardy the remote can control the volume for the operating system as well as rythymbox and xmms | 18:50 |
stu | I had to create a lircrc for mplayer to get that to work | 18:50 |
stu | using inputlirc | 18:50 |
stu | what I dont know is how I can get the remote to control MythTV | 18:51 |
laga | well | 18:51 |
laga | big surprise: you need to create a lircrc :) | 18:51 |
stu | ok for mplayer I have things like: button = KEY_PLAYPAUSE | 18:52 |
stu | config = pause | 18:52 |
stu | prog = mplayer | 18:53 |
laga | stu: i think the mythtv documentation or the mythtv wiki have some information about the correct file format | 18:53 |
stu | so for mythtv, I tried prog =- mythtv ; button KEY_VOLUMEUP ; config up | 18:53 |
stu | but nothing happened... I think that the fact that the operating system in general is responding to volume up/down regardless of what I tell MythTV to do with the volume up/down (ie move up and down) its going to always change the volume instead | 18:54 |
superm1 | stu, did you make sure the lircd.conf was working yet? | 18:59 |
superm1 | via irw | 18:59 |
stu | I dont beleive inputlirc uses lircd.conf ? | 18:59 |
superm1 | well i mean yesterday you were hacking at this | 19:00 |
superm1 | i wasn't sure what happened eventually | 19:00 |
stu | irw does show output yes.... 73 0 KEY_VOLUMEUP event1 | 19:00 |
stu | so I tried to "bind" KEY_VOLUMEUP to config = up in lircrc | 19:01 |
stu | irxevent gives no output - is it supposed to ? | 19:04 |
stu | ok... adding prog = irxevent ; config = Key Up CurrentWindow gives me output in irxevent and also works in MythTV now | 19:06 |
stu | but also changes volume at the same time lol | 19:06 |
stu | I need to somehow get rid of Ubuntu's built-in ability to use the remote control | 19:07 |
superm1 | you are trying to use irxevent for sure then? | 19:07 |
superm1 | not native myth support of the remote | 19:07 |
laga | stu: inputlirc has an option to use the device exclusively. | 19:08 |
stu | I really dont know; I was just reading someone on mythtv website and it was using irxevent | 19:08 |
stu | how do I configure mythtv for native remote support ? | 19:08 |
stu | and laga... any idea how/where ? | 19:09 |
laga | stu: man inputlircd | 19:09 |
stu | ta | 19:09 |
laga | you can set it in /etc/default/inputlirc* | 19:09 |
laga | i havent used inputlirc in a long time | 19:09 |
stu | this is all very confusing because I dont understand the difference between native support, irxevent, inputlirc etc etc | 19:09 |
stu | and the fact that ubuntu has out the box support for the remote doesnt help either as I have no idea what is controlling that | 19:10 |
stu | do you remember where inputlirc is installed to which inputlirc doenst give output | 19:12 |
stu | I found the startup argument to use the device exclusively | 19:12 |
stu | actually /etc/init.d/inputlirc should answer that question nm | 19:13 |
stu | holy **** | 19:22 |
* stu kisses laga | 19:22 | |
stu | I can move up and down in MythTv and play/pause a video in Mplayer | 19:23 |
laga | thanks. here, have a mint | 19:23 |
stu | I'm some of the way there :) | 19:23 |
laga | ;) | 19:23 |
stu | crap but now when I change the volume it also skips forward | 19:24 |
stu | can I make irxevent only send stuff to MythTV and not other applications ? | 19:24 |
laga | try using native support | 19:24 |
stu | what does that mean ? | 19:25 |
stu | stop irxevent | 19:25 |
stu | and then ... ? | 19:25 |
laga | use prog = mythtv | 19:25 |
laga | you can find example lircrcs all over the place | 19:25 |
stu | any idea what the "config" should be I tried "up" | 19:25 |
stu | k, ill look | 19:25 |
stu | tried Up up Key Up none seem to work with prog = mythtv | 19:33 |
stu | perhaps I have to enable MythTV to use a remote? | 19:34 |
mooseman089 | hi | 19:54 |
mooseman089 | where can i find the option to change the mythtv deinterlacer? | 19:54 |
buntunub | should be in the frontend setup | 19:59 |
mooseman089 | yea i cant find it under the playback tv settings at all | 19:59 |
mooseman089 | i thought i heard it was on page 3 the playback profiles but i see no deinterlacer there | 20:00 |
superm1 | you have to edit the individual profiles | 20:02 |
superm1 | they each have deinterlacers assigned to them | 20:02 |
mooseman089 | ok so i chose the normal profile and if i edit like the first entry i dont see deinterlacer | 20:03 |
superm1 | its on the second or third subpage | 20:04 |
mooseman089 | oh dang i didnt even notice the subpage thanks a ton | 20:04 |
mooseman089 | when i hit s and go to the program guide is there any way i can jump right to a channel instead of recording settings? | 20:06 |
javatexan | can you setup frontends to watch the videos files or is it just for recordings? | 20:08 |
superm1 | sure | 20:13 |
javatexan | cool | 20:13 |
javatexan | I am trying to finally setup multiple fe, but none of them seem to be able to connect to the backend.....what settings should I be checking in BE? | 20:14 |
javatexan | it says I have the MySQL service enabled | 20:15 |
javatexan | in mythbuntu Control centre | 20:15 |
mooseman089 | i had a problem with my fe's not being able to connect and it turns out in the mythtv-setup i had put the backend's host name in instead of ip | 20:16 |
buntunub | yes, you need to have all remote fe's set to the master be's ip | 20:22 |
buntunub | also, make sure that you only have the master be set for doing mythfilldatabase | 20:23 |
mooseman089 | just out of curiosity what happens if you have more than one do the mythfilldatabase? | 20:24 |
tgm4883_laptop | buntunub, I don't think you can have more than just the master do it (setup from the frontend that is) | 20:24 |
buntunub | not sure about that tgm | 20:25 |
buntunub | the mythtv guide specifies that however, so it may be possible | 20:25 |
mooseman089 | hey what tuner cards do you guys use? | 20:25 |
tgm4883_laptop | PVR-150, PVR-500 | 20:26 |
buntunub | PVR-250 | 20:26 |
mooseman089 | nice i have a pvr-150 now and i just ordered a second | 20:26 |
tgm4883_laptop | It really depends on where you get your signal from | 20:27 |
buntunub | never have had the chance to compliment the mythbuntu devs before so i hope some are watching -- GREAT JOB!! | 20:27 |
laga | \o/ | 20:28 |
buntunub | the Ubuntu devs should pickup on that control center idea -- its fantastic | 20:28 |
buntunub | like a one click install kinda thing | 20:29 |
buntunub | all i had to do was install that and mythtv pretty much set itself up | 20:29 |
laga | glad it's working for you - we usually only get to see the bug reports ;) | 20:30 |
buntunub | my only remaining wish is that mythtv windowed mode worked with default compiz enabled on Ubuntu | 20:30 |
buntunub | it works but no window borders | 20:31 |
buntunub | so you have to use alt+shift to move it from the top lefthand corner | 20:31 |
buntunub | anyway thats such a minor issue | 20:33 |
buntunub | given the fact that mythtv by itself is such a bear to install, mythbuntu makes it almost too easy, so thanks guys | 20:34 |
javatexan | i was looking in etc/mythtv/mysql.txt it says: DBHostName=localhost | 20:36 |
javatexan | DBUserName=mythtv | 20:36 |
javatexan | Could that be the problem? | 20:36 |
javatexan | i am thinking that is only for the local FE on the BE, but at this point..."???? ;) | 20:36 |
javatexan | obviously I s/localhost/theipaddress in the new FE, but the connection test still fails. Just to make sure I turned off the Firewall on the BE just to rule that out too. The BE setup says to enter an IP address, is this where you changed to hostname? | 20:45 |
pdlnhrd | anyone could give advice on streaming tv on mythtv... i am thinking of getting a slingbox because of the ease of it... i can't find any easy docs for streaming in mythtv | 20:46 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, what do you want to do | 20:47 |
pdlnhrd | all i want to do is recored tv and stream to work | 20:47 |
pdlnhrd | i already have a hdpvr too | 20:47 |
buntunub | follow the mythtv setup guide its really good | 20:48 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, you have an HDPVR? | 20:48 |
buntunub | tells you exactly how to setup streaming tv and stuff like that from master/remote fe's and be's | 20:49 |
pdlnhrd | tgm4883_laptop: yup | 20:49 |
tgm4883_laptop | does it work well in linux? | 20:49 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, where do you want to stream TV to? | 20:49 |
pdlnhrd | work | 20:49 |
tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 20:49 |
pdlnhrd | but every cool feature is turned offf | 20:50 |
tgm4883_laptop | which features are turned off? | 20:50 |
tgm4883_laptop | are you talking about the HD PVR or mythtv | 20:50 |
pdlnhrd | ethernet, usb, firewire, hdmi, etc | 20:50 |
pdlnhrd | i have an motorola HDPVR right now.... i want to stream shows to work... i would get rid of the motorola if i knew there was an easy way to set up streaming in mythtv.... | 20:51 |
iamlindoro_ | tgm4883_laptop: Ah, he's not talking about the Hauppauge :) | 20:51 |
tgm4883_laptop | oh | 20:52 |
tgm4883_laptop | that makes so much more sense now | 20:52 |
iamlindoro_ | tgm4883_laptop: No linux support *yet* but last I heard the driver's author was releasing them tonight | 20:52 |
tgm4883_laptop | iamlindoro_, sweet | 20:52 |
iamlindoro_ | + myth support | 20:52 |
iamlindoro_ | Actually, last I heard he was still working on the recorder for the HD-PVR, so that may be a few days yet, but the driver itself should be out tonight | 20:53 |
javatexan | okay...found one thing that was bad...in the BE i had no security pin....set it to 0000 just to see if I can get it to work....will make it more rock solid later. I wonder if I just screwed up the Mysql settings and that is why I cant get to it....Anyone know a quick way to check that from a windows box? | 20:53 |
pdlnhrd | is there a hauppauge pvr? | 20:54 |
iamlindoro_ | pdlnhrd: We are speaking about a different type of device | 20:54 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, well streaming from home to work would depend on how fast your internet connection is, and most likely it isn't fast enough to do that | 20:54 |
iamlindoro_ | *called* the Hauppauge HD-PVR, but it is not a stand-alone PVR unto itself | 20:54 |
tgm4883_laptop | I'm not sure if you enabled the flash mythweb support if that would help | 20:55 |
pdlnhrd | my upstream is .5 MB which is suffice for the most part | 20:55 |
pdlnhrd | are you saying the WinTV-PVR-500 whould have linux support soon/ | 20:56 |
stu | you guys know how to make mplayer quit using a lirc command ? | 20:56 |
stu | escape doesnt do it | 20:57 |
iamlindoro_ | pdlnhrd: No. We are speaking about, once again, th Hauppauge HD-PVR | 20:57 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, IIRC, you will need to either download the show from home while at work, or enable flash and download a portion of the show first | 20:57 |
tgm4883_laptop | pdlnhrd, that or you will need to transcode the show to a lower quality first | 20:57 |
pdlnhrd | so it sounds like slingbox is the way to go for now | 20:58 |
pdlnhrd | it will even allow me to watch ondemand content | 20:58 |
tgm4883_laptop | alternatively you could try mythstreamtv, but I know almost nothing about that | 20:58 |
pdlnhrd | it hsn't been updated in a long time | 20:59 |
pdlnhrd | mythtv has soooo much potentional.... but it just isn't quite there | 21:00 |
tgm4883_laptop | I disagree, your thought on that is based on that it won't do 1 thing you want it to do | 21:01 |
tgm4883_laptop | to which I would reply, have you tried the flash based mythweb yet? | 21:01 |
iamlindoro_ | tgm4883_laptop ++ | 21:01 |
iamlindoro_ | flash player works great, and the price is right :) | 21:01 |
tgm4883_laptop | I could name a few things that slingbox wont do, but I don't say it's no quite there yet just because it doesn't some things | 21:02 |
pdlnhrd | point taken.... i try to research more | 21:03 |
pdlnhrd | just means i have to buy a tuner card to see if i can get it to do everything i want | 21:05 |
javatexan | okay..thats weird. Using SquirrelSQL...I can connect to mysql daemon and see everything, but if I directly connect to mythconverg...it fails | 21:11 |
javatexan | now hes happy both ways....yeah...now to try with new MythTV FE | 21:13 |
javatexan | dagnabit.....it is still falling from the new FE? I dont get it | 21:16 |
tgm4883_laptop | javatexan, i'm going to go grab some lunch, if your still having issues i'll try to troubleshoot them when i'm back | 21:17 |
javatexan | no prob...I will have to go for a while to...think my 2yr old is getting up | 21:18 |
javatexan | ;) | 21:18 |
frego_ | I'm running Mythbuntu 8.04, was working ok for a while, then I tried a few different guides to enable multiple remote logins and now I get the message: "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. | 21:18 |
frego_ | It seems to keep losing my nvidia drivers. | 21:18 |
frego_ | I reset it up and reboot and I'm back to running in low res mode | 21:18 |
frego_ | anyone know how I can fix this? | 21:18 |
stu | within MythTV there's all this weather, movie times etc - which ask for a ZIP code - what if you are based in the UK - then what ? | 21:25 |
buntunub | that sounds like an xorg or nvidia issue frego | 21:25 |
stu | frego_, have you gone into the propietry drivers and enabled the drivers? if you have recently completed a system update you may need disable, re-enable | 21:26 |
iamlindoro_ | stu: If you're in the UK then there is no way to use the MythMovies plugin-- A ticket was submitted a while back which scrapes google movies, but as it violates their TOS it was denied. | 21:28 |
stu | ok ill disable that - what about weather ? | 21:29 |
iamlindoro_ | You should be checking the wiki for this stuff, there is info there (or at least via googling) for setting up UK weather | 21:29 |
stu | k | 21:30 |
avihayb | guys, I'm trying the mythubuntu CD and bouth use live CD and install throw me into the ash shell | 22:41 |
avihayb | I'm guessing this ain't normal | 22:41 |
avihayb | any suggestions? it's the new 8.04 x86 cd | 22:45 |
avihayb | can anyone clue me into, say, seeing the composit input of a hauppage wintv pvr-150? on VLC could be a nice start | 23:29 |
pcglue | avihayb, i have the pvr-350 and I've always did "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg" and then played test.mpg on mplayer or vlc | 23:32 |
avihayb | and how did you choose the card's input? | 23:33 |
tgm4883_laptop | avihayb, you have to use the ivtv tools to change the input | 23:33 |
avihayb | thanks, i'll give it a go. | 23:34 |
avihayb | any clues about the liveCD? | 23:34 |
tgm4883_laptop | avihayb, did you verify the iso, burn at a slow speed, and then verify the cd burn? | 23:35 |
pcglue | i'm having problems with audio input to PVR-350. When I do "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg", I get video but no audio. I've tried the ivtv users list (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/38394), but no fix yet. | 23:35 |
avihayb | I let nero verify | 23:36 |
tgm4883_laptop | pcglue, did you try line in 2? | 23:36 |
pcglue | tgm4883_latop, yes i did, still no audio | 23:37 |
pcglue | also upgraded to latest kernel in repository, 2.6.24-17 | 23:37 |
tgm4883_laptop | do you have audio in other programs? | 23:38 |
pcglue | yes, my sound card works. if I plug in the audio into the mic, i can hear it over my speakers. | 23:38 |
pcglue | It's only when I plug into PVR-350 that it doesn't capture any audio. | 23:39 |
pcglue | This broke when I upgraded from gutsy to hardy | 23:39 |
tgm4883_laptop | what sound card? | 23:39 |
tgm4883_laptop | avihayb, does a regular ubuntu live cd (same version) also do the same? | 23:40 |
superm1 | avihayb, look at the log in that shell's root directory | 23:41 |
superm1 | casper.log | 23:41 |
superm1 | it tells you what happened | 23:41 |
pcglue | tgm4883_laptop, I use one computer as the frontend and backend. It has a PVR-350 for capture and playback. It also has a soundcard. I'm referring to that soundcard. | 23:41 |
pcglue | Is that what you mean when you asked if I have audio in other programs? | 23:41 |
avihayb | nope, works fine, install, and by ubuntu, I mean xubuntu. actualy, I installed 7.10 and upgraded cuz I didn't have a 8.04 disk | 23:41 |
pcglue | I can playback recordings that were recorded before I upgraded to hardy fine. They still have sound. | 23:42 |
avihayb | mind saveing me the troble of figur out exacly what's in the ivtv package and tell me how to switch to the composit? | 23:42 |
avihayb | trouble of figuring | 23:43 |
tgm4883_laptop | avihayb, i'd have to look it up myself | 23:43 |
tgm4883_laptop | pcglue, no i meant what type of sound card, ie, make/model | 23:43 |
tgm4883_laptop | or pastebin lspci | 23:43 |
pcglue | avihayb, "v4l2-ctl --list-inputs" to list the inputs, then "v4l2-ctl --set-input=<num>" where <num> corresponds to the input you want | 23:45 |
pcglue | tgm4883_latop, http://pastebin.com/d38811122 | 23:48 |
avihayb | thanks pcglue, you'r a saint (as in a great guy) | 23:49 |
pcglue | avihayb, no prob. i've been struggling with a pvr-350 problem right now so I got familiar with those utilities | 23:50 |
avihayb | well, I now see the composit exit via VLC. I didn't need to cat to an mpeg file beforehand | 23:51 |
avihayb | now, to take over the world!!!1 muhahaha | 23:53 |
avihayb | ehm, I mean, how do I get mythTV or the likes to work, I ain't too picky, yet... | 23:54 |
tgm4883_laptop | pcglue, how are you getting your video? svideo, composite, or coax? | 23:54 |
pcglue | tgm4883_laptop, composite. and that still works. just no audio. | 23:54 |
tgm4883_laptop | avihayb, the problem? | 23:54 |
tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 23:56 |
tgm4883_laptop | yea IIRC, the input should be 2 (for audio) but thats not working either? | 23:56 |
tgm4883_laptop | how are you testing? | 23:56 |
pcglue | no, it's not. I tried all the audio inputs. | 23:56 |
tgm4883_laptop | superm1, theres not any extra pvr-350 setup required is there? | 23:57 |
tgm4883_laptop | for basic operation? | 23:57 |
superm1 | i dont like the pvr-350 | 23:57 |
superm1 | people should stop using it | 23:57 |
superm1 | mostly because i dont like it | 23:57 |
tgm4883_laptop | well that settles it | 23:57 |
pcglue | i watch liveTV on mythtv and set the input and see if i hear the audio | 23:57 |
avihayb | oh, I installed mythTV, from xubontu repositories | 23:57 |
pcglue | superm1, heh, ok, what do you recommend? | 23:58 |
tgm4883_laptop | pcglue, sorry can't help you. superm1 has spoken. You must throw it away or risk being banned from this channel forever | 23:58 |
superm1 | but regarding extra setup, well yeah that's why i dont like it | 23:58 |
superm1 | haha not that bad | 23:58 |
superm1 | its just you get more bang for your buck using a graphics card with tv out | 23:58 |
superm1 | rather than the pvr 350's tv out | 23:58 |
pcglue | superm1, you helped me with a problem when i upgraded from feisty to gutsy. | 23:58 |
avihayb | I rebooted, and the MySql deamon msqld_safe was consuming 100PU | 23:58 |
superm1 | w/ pvr-350? | 23:58 |
pcglue | now i'm having problems from gutsy to hardy | 23:58 |
tgm4883_laptop | superm1, the problem isn't with video out, it's with audio in | 23:59 |
tgm4883_laptop | using composite | 23:59 |
pcglue | superm1, yes, you did some magic and I apt-get from your repository and things started working. | 23:59 |
superm1 | audio "in" problems... | 23:59 |
superm1 | yeah um | 23:59 |
superm1 | shouldn't that just work (tm) | 23:59 |
tgm4883_laptop | I think it should (ml) | 23:59 |
