stualso, 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
avihaybbahh, mythTV isn't self explanetoty enough for me to wing it, and the mythTV documentation dosn't help me much...00:25
szakulecavihayb: got a question?00:45
rdayIs there anyone out there that may be able to help with a capture card/video card conflict?00:57
dolphinhow 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 laptop01:53
foxbuntudolphin, what frame rate is the video?01:55
dolphinit shows a frame per several seconda01:55
dolphinseconds01:55
foxbuntudolphin, ok...but what was the frame rate of the recording01:56
dolphinumm... whatever the default is01:56
foxbuntuis it SD or HD?01:57
dolphinsd01:57
foxbuntudo you have good reception on your Wifi connection (ie. max power, close to the AP?)01:57
dolphinabsolutely01:58
dolphini'm right next to my ASUS wl500g premium router01:58
dolphinother laptop works great01:59
foxbuntuhmm01:59
foxbuntucould be video rather than wifi01:59
foxbuntuwhat video card does the laptop thats not working have in it?02:00
dolphinfoxbuntu:  i don't buy laptops that don't use intel all the way around... it's X310002:01
foxbuntudolphin, you can exit the frontend and right click on the network manager to get connection info nd find out what speed you are connected at02:04
dolphinfoxbuntu:  says 48Mb/s02:06
foxbuntudolphin, well, your G connection is good then02:06
foxbuntudolphin, what playback profile re you using?02:07
dolphinfoxbuntu:  hmm... playback "group" seems to be Default02:09
dolphinrecording profile is MPEG-2 PS... but that shouldn't matter since it works fine on my other, older intel-based laptop02:10
foxbuntudolphin, right but there is a playback profile too02:11
foxbuntudolphin, have you tried just copying one of those files local to the laptop and playing it to rule out the wifi?02:12
dolphinfoxbuntu:  that's not what i'm after.  i REALLY want the frontend to work just like the other laptop02:13
foxbuntudolphin, I know thats not what you want but you need to rule out things to find the problem to fix the problem02:14
dolphinmy 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 commercials02:14
dolphintrue that...02:14
dolphinhold please02:15
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
pcglueThis 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
foxbuntupcglue, nope, it should just work02:16
foxbuntupcglue, I would check your recording options in the backend and frontend to make sure that something didnt get changed in the tuner's options02:17
pcglueI still don't have sound when I do "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg", does the mythtv recording options affect that?02:18
foxbuntupcglue, oh right...duh02:18
foxbuntuno02:18
dolphinfoxbuntu:  scp is copying at 2.7MB/s... so, i'm thinking this prolly is a video issue02:19
foxbuntudolphin, more than likley02:19
foxbuntudolphin, thats about what my laptop runs on my G network02:19
foxbuntudolphin, is the frontend on this laptop running with opengl or qt?02:20
pcgluei don't see any errors in dmesg, so I'm stumped and don't know what to do/check next02:20
foxbuntupcglue, you might dist-upgrade again there is a newer kernel than -1602:21
dolphinfoxbuntu: qt02:21
foxbuntudolphin, switch it to opengl02:21
foxbuntupcglue, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade02:22
foxbuntupcglue, that will ensure you grab all the updates02:22
foxbuntuthen reboot and try it again02:22
pcgluefoxbuntu, ok, i'll try that.  thanks02:22
=== Jasonl is now known as Jasonw
dolphinfoxbuntu:  so, wireless seems to be working at sufficient speed... and video plays fine once copied...02:36
dolphinso, i'm guessing the problem is lying somewhere with the frontend02:36
Jasonlwellos, curious if anyone would help me troubleshoot a usb gamepad for controlling mythtv?02:36
foxbuntudolphin, I agree, did you change to opengl?02:37
dolphinfoxbuntu: yup.. and still no go02:37
foxbuntudolphin, it plays fine local but not over the network... hmmm02:39
foxbuntubut your network speed seems fine02:39

stucan anyone tell me if its possible to get MythTv working with inputlirc .... I can't find any documentation about the subject18:00
stusorry about posting that and dissapearing had to logout18:00
Easy_Rider9999what is inputlirc?18:01
Easy_Rider9999Documentation about lirc you find in http://www.mythtv.org/docs/18:04
lagastu: whats the problem with inputlirc?18:10
stunothing its working... I just want to know if I can make it work with MythTV18:41
stuI have it working with mplayer18:41
stulaga ^18:42
lagastu: yes18:49
stuI 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 xmms18:50
stuI had to create a lircrc for mplayer to get that to work18:50
stuusing inputlirc18:50
stuwhat I dont know is how I can get the remote to control MythTV18:51
lagawell18:51
lagabig surprise: you need to create a lircrc :)18:51
stuok for mplayer I have things like: button = KEY_PLAYPAUSE18:52
stuconfig = pause18:52
stuprog = mplayer18:53
lagastu: i think the mythtv documentation or the mythtv wiki have some information about the correct file format18:53
stuso for mythtv, I tried prog =- mythtv ; button KEY_VOLUMEUP ; config up18:53
stubut 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 instead18:54
superm1stu, did you make sure the lircd.conf was working yet?18:59
superm1via irw18:59
stuI dont beleive inputlirc uses lircd.conf ?18:59
superm1well i mean yesterday you were hacking at this19:00
superm1i wasn't sure what happened eventually19:00
stuirw does show output yes.... 73 0 KEY_VOLUMEUP event119:00
stuso I tried to "bind" KEY_VOLUMEUP to config = up in lircrc19:01
stuirxevent gives no output - is it supposed to ?19:04
stuok... adding prog = irxevent ; config = Key Up CurrentWindow gives me output in irxevent and also works in MythTV now19:06
stubut also changes volume at the same time lol19:06
stuI need to somehow get rid of Ubuntu's built-in ability to use the remote control19:07
superm1you are trying to use irxevent for sure then?19:07
superm1not native myth support of the remote19:07
lagastu: inputlirc has an option to use the device exclusively.19:08
stuI really dont know; I was just reading someone on mythtv website and it was using irxevent19:08
stuhow do I configure mythtv for native remote support ?19:08
stuand laga... any idea how/where ?19:09
lagastu: man inputlircd19:09
stuta19:09
lagayou can set it in /etc/default/inputlirc*19:09
lagai havent used inputlirc in a long time19:09
stuthis is all very confusing because I dont understand the difference between native support, irxevent, inputlirc etc etc19:09
stuand the fact that ubuntu has out the box support for the remote doesnt help either as I have no idea what is controlling that19:10
studo you remember where inputlirc is installed to which inputlirc doenst give output19:12
stuI found the startup argument to use the device exclusively19:12
stuactually /etc/init.d/inputlirc should answer that question nm19:13
stuholy ****19:22
* stu kisses laga19:22
stuI can move up and down in MythTv and play/pause a video in Mplayer19:23
lagathanks. here, have a mint19:23
stuI'm some of the way there :)19:23
laga;)19:23
stucrap but now when I change the volume it also skips forward19:24
stucan I make irxevent only send stuff to MythTV and not other applications ?19:24
lagatry using native support19:24
stuwhat does that mean ?19:25
stustop irxevent19:25
stuand then ... ?19:25
lagause prog = mythtv19:25
lagayou can find example lircrcs all over the place19:25
stuany idea what the "config" should be I tried "up"19:25
stuk, ill look19:25
stutried Up up Key Up none seem to work with prog = mythtv19:33
stuperhaps I have to enable MythTV to use a remote?19:34
mooseman089hi19:54
mooseman089where can i find the option to change the mythtv deinterlacer?19:54
buntunubshould be in the frontend setup19:59
mooseman089yea i cant find it under the playback tv settings at all19:59
mooseman089i thought i heard it was on page 3 the playback profiles but i see no deinterlacer there20:00
superm1you have to edit the individual profiles20:02
superm1they each have deinterlacers assigned to them20:02
mooseman089ok so i chose the normal profile and if i edit like the first entry i dont see deinterlacer20:03
superm1its on the second or third subpage20:04
mooseman089oh dang i didnt even notice the subpage thanks a ton20:04
mooseman089when 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
javatexancan you setup frontends to watch the videos files or is it just for recordings?20:08
superm1sure20:13
javatexancool20:13
javatexanI 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
javatexanit says I have the MySQL service enabled20:15
javatexanin mythbuntu Control centre20:15
mooseman089i 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 ip20:16
buntunubyes, you need to have all remote fe's set to the master be's ip20:22
buntunubalso, make sure that you only have the master be set for doing mythfilldatabase20:23
mooseman089just out of curiosity what happens if you have more than one do the mythfilldatabase?20:24
tgm4883_laptopbuntunub, I don't think you can have more than just the master do it (setup from the frontend that is)20:24
buntunubnot sure about that tgm20:25
buntunubthe mythtv guide specifies that however, so it may be possible20:25
mooseman089hey what tuner cards do you guys use?20:25
tgm4883_laptopPVR-150, PVR-50020:26
buntunubPVR-25020:26
mooseman089nice i have a pvr-150 now and i just ordered a second20:26
tgm4883_laptopIt really depends on where you get your signal from20:27
buntunubnever have had the chance to compliment the mythbuntu devs before so i hope some are watching -- GREAT JOB!!20:27
laga\o/20:28
buntunubthe Ubuntu devs should pickup on that control center idea -- its fantastic20:28
buntunublike a one click install kinda thing20:29
buntunuball i had to do was install that and mythtv pretty much set itself up20:29
lagaglad it's working for you - we usually only get to see the bug reports ;)20:30
buntunubmy only remaining wish is that mythtv windowed mode worked with default compiz enabled on Ubuntu20:30
buntunubit works but no window borders20:31
buntunubso you have to use alt+shift to move it from the top lefthand corner20:31
buntunubanyway thats such a minor issue20:33
buntunubgiven the fact that mythtv by itself is such a bear to install, mythbuntu makes it almost too easy, so thanks guys20:34
javatexani was looking in etc/mythtv/mysql.txt  it says: DBHostName=localhost20:36
javatexanDBUserName=mythtv20:36
javatexanCould that be the problem?20:36
javatexani am thinking that is only for the local FE on the BE, but at this point..."???? ;)20:36
javatexanobviously 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
pdlnhrdanyone 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 mythtv20:46
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, what do you want to do20:47
pdlnhrdall i want to do is recored tv and stream to work20:47
pdlnhrdi already have a hdpvr too20:47
buntunubfollow the mythtv setup guide its really good20:48
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, you have an HDPVR?20:48
buntunubtells you exactly how to setup streaming tv and stuff like that from master/remote fe's and be's20:49
pdlnhrdtgm4883_laptop: yup20:49
tgm4883_laptopdoes it work well in linux?20:49
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, where do you want to stream TV to?20:49
pdlnhrdwork20:49
tgm4883_laptophmm20:49
pdlnhrdbut every cool feature is turned offf20:50
tgm4883_laptopwhich features are turned off?20:50
tgm4883_laptopare you talking about the HD PVR or mythtv20:50
pdlnhrdethernet, usb,  firewire, hdmi,   etc20:50
pdlnhrdi 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_laptopoh20:52
tgm4883_laptopthat makes so much more sense now20:52
iamlindoro_tgm4883_laptop: No linux support *yet* but last I heard the driver's author was releasing them tonight20:52
tgm4883_laptopiamlindoro_, sweet20:52
iamlindoro_+ myth support20:52
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 tonight20:53
javatexanokay...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
pdlnhrdis there a hauppauge pvr?20:54
iamlindoro_pdlnhrd: We are speaking about a different type of device20:54
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, 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 that20:54
iamlindoro_*called* the Hauppauge HD-PVR, but it is not a stand-alone PVR unto itself20:54
tgm4883_laptopI'm not sure if you enabled the flash mythweb support if that would help20:55
pdlnhrdmy upstream is .5 MB   which is suffice for the most part20:55
pdlnhrdare you saying the WinTV-PVR-500 whould have linux support soon/20:56
stuyou guys know how to make mplayer quit using a lirc command ?20:56
stuescape doesnt do it20:57
iamlindoro_pdlnhrd: No.  We are speaking about, once again, th Hauppauge HD-PVR20:57
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, IIRC, you will need to either download the show from home while at work, or enable flash and download a portion of the show first20:57
tgm4883_laptoppdlnhrd, that or you will need to transcode the show to a lower quality first20:57
pdlnhrdso it sounds like slingbox is the way to go for now20:58
pdlnhrdit will even allow me to watch ondemand content20:58
tgm4883_laptopalternatively you could try mythstreamtv, but I know almost nothing about that20:58
pdlnhrdit hsn't been updated in a  long time20:59
pdlnhrdmythtv has soooo much potentional.... but it just isn't quite there21:00
tgm4883_laptopI disagree, your thought on that is based on that it won't do 1 thing you want it to do21:01
tgm4883_laptopto 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_laptopI 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 things21:02
pdlnhrdpoint taken.... i try to research more21:03
pdlnhrdjust means i have to buy a tuner card to see if i can get it to do everything i want21:05
javatexanokay..thats weird.  Using SquirrelSQL...I can connect to mysql daemon and see everything, but if I directly connect to mythconverg...it fails21:11
javatexannow hes happy both ways....yeah...now to try with new MythTV FE21:13
javatexandagnabit.....it is still falling from the new FE?  I dont get it21:16
tgm4883_laptopjavatexan, i'm going to go grab some lunch, if your still having issues i'll try to troubleshoot them when i'm back21:17
javatexanno prob...I will have to go for a while to...think my 2yr old is getting up21:18

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 mode21:18
frego_anyone know how I can fix this?21:18
stuwithin 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
buntunubthat sounds like an xorg or nvidia issue frego21:25
stufrego_, have you gone into the propietry drivers and enabled the drivers? if you have recently completed a system update you may need disable, re-enable21:26
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
stuok 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 weather21:29

tgm4883_laptopavihayb, you have to use the ivtv tools to change the input23:33
avihaybthanks, i'll give it a go.23:34
avihaybany clues about the liveCD?23:34
tgm4883_laptopavihayb, did you verify the iso, burn at a slow speed, and then verify the cd burn?23:35
pcgluei'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
avihaybI let nero verify23:36
tgm4883_laptoppcglue, did you try line in 2?23:36
pcgluetgm4883_latop, yes i did, still no audio23:37
pcgluealso upgraded to latest kernel in repository, 2.6.24-1723:37
tgm4883_laptopdo you have audio in other programs?23:38
pcglueyes, my sound card works.  if I plug in the audio into the mic, i can hear it over my speakers.23:38
pcglueIt's only when I plug into PVR-350 that it doesn't capture any audio.23:39
pcglueThis broke when I upgraded from gutsy to hardy23:39
tgm4883_laptopwhat sound card?23:39
tgm4883_laptopavihayb, does a regular ubuntu live cd (same version) also do the same?23:40
superm1avihayb, look at the log in that shell's root directory23:41
superm1casper.log23:41
superm1it tells you what happened23:41
pcgluetgm4883_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
pcglueIs that what you mean when you asked if I have audio in other programs?23:41
avihaybnope, works fine, install, and by ubuntu, I mean xubuntu. actualy, I installed 7.10 and upgraded cuz I didn't have a 8.04 disk23:41
pcglueI can playback recordings that were recorded before I upgraded to hardy fine.  They still have sound.23:42
avihaybmind 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
avihaybtrouble of figuring23:43
tgm4883_laptopavihayb, i'd have to look it up myself23:43
tgm4883_laptoppcglue, no i meant what type of sound card, ie, make/model23:43
tgm4883_laptopor pastebin lspci23:43
pcglueavihayb, "v4l2-ctl --list-inputs" to list the inputs, then "v4l2-ctl --set-input=<num>" where <num> corresponds to the input you want23:45
pcgluetgm4883_latop, http://pastebin.com/d3881112223:48
avihaybthanks pcglue, you'r a saint (as in a great guy)23:49
pcglueavihayb, no prob.  i've been struggling with a pvr-350 problem right now so I got familiar with those utilities23:50
avihaybwell, I now see the composit exit via VLC. I didn't need to cat to an mpeg file beforehand23:51
avihaybnow, to take over the world!!!1 muhahaha23:53
avihaybehm, I mean, how do I get mythTV or the likes to work, I ain't too picky, yet...23:54
tgm4883_laptoppcglue, how are you getting your video?  svideo, composite, or coax?23:54
pcgluetgm4883_laptop, composite.  and that still works.  just no audio.23:54
tgm4883_laptopavihayb, the problem?23:54
tgm4883_laptophmm23:56
tgm4883_laptopyea IIRC, the input should be 2 (for audio) but thats not working either?23:56
tgm4883_laptophow are you testing?23:56
pcglueno, it's not.  I tried all the audio inputs.23:56
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, theres not any extra pvr-350 setup required is there?23:57
tgm4883_laptopfor basic operation?23:57
superm1i dont like the pvr-35023:57
superm1people should stop using it23:57
superm1mostly because i dont like it23:57
tgm4883_laptopwell that settles it23:57
pcgluei watch liveTV on mythtv and set the input and see if i hear the audio23:57
avihayboh, I installed mythTV, from xubontu repositories23:57
pcgluesuperm1, heh, ok, what do you recommend?23:58
tgm4883_laptoppcglue, sorry can't help you.  superm1 has spoken.  You must throw it away or risk being banned from this channel forever23:58
superm1but regarding extra setup, well yeah that's why i dont like it23:58
superm1haha not that bad23:58
superm1its just you get more bang for your buck using a graphics card with tv out23:58
superm1rather than the pvr 350's tv out23:58
pcgluesuperm1, you helped me with a problem when i upgraded from feisty to gutsy.23:58
avihaybI rebooted, and the MySql deamon msqld_safe was consuming 100PU23:58
superm1w/ pvr-350?23:58
pcgluenow i'm having problems from gutsy to hardy23:58
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, the problem isn't with video out, it's with audio in23:59
tgm4883_laptopusing composite23:59
pcgluesuperm1, yes, you did some magic and I apt-get from your repository and things started working.23:59
superm1audio "in" problems...23:59
superm1yeah um23:59
superm1shouldn't that just work (tm)23:59
