[00:01] 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? [00:25] bahh, mythTV isn't self explanetoty enough for me to wing it, and the mythTV documentation dosn't help me much... [00:45] avihayb: got a question? [00:57] Is there anyone out there that may be able to help with a capture card/video card conflict? [01:53] 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 [01:55] dolphin, what frame rate is the video? [01:55] it shows a frame per several seconda [01:55] seconds [01:56] dolphin, ok...but what was the frame rate of the recording [01:56] umm... whatever the default is [01:57] is it SD or HD? [01:57] sd [01:57] do you have good reception on your Wifi connection (ie. max power, close to the AP?) [01:58] absolutely [01:58] i'm right next to my ASUS wl500g premium router [01:59] other laptop works great [01:59] hmm [01:59] could be video rather than wifi [02:00] what video card does the laptop thats not working have in it? [02:01] foxbuntu: i don't buy laptops that don't use intel all the way around... it's X3100 [02:04] 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 [02:06] foxbuntu: says 48Mb/s [02:06] dolphin, well, your G connection is good then [02:07] dolphin, what playback profile re you using? [02:09] foxbuntu: hmm... playback "group" seems to be Default [02:10] recording profile is MPEG-2 PS... but that shouldn't matter since it works fine on my other, older intel-based laptop [02:11] dolphin, right but there is a playback profile too [02:12] dolphin, have you tried just copying one of those files local to the laptop and playing it to rule out the wifi? [02:13] foxbuntu: that's not what i'm after. i REALLY want the frontend to work just like the other laptop [02:14] 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] 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] true that... [02:15] hold please [02:16] 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] 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] pcglue, nope, it should just work [02:17] 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 [02:18] I still don't have sound when I do "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg", does the mythtv recording options affect that? [02:18] pcglue, oh right...duh [02:18] no [02:19] foxbuntu: scp is copying at 2.7MB/s... so, i'm thinking this prolly is a video issue [02:19] dolphin, more than likley [02:19] dolphin, thats about what my laptop runs on my G network [02:20] dolphin, is the frontend on this laptop running with opengl or qt? [02:20] i don't see any errors in dmesg, so I'm stumped and don't know what to do/check next [02:21] pcglue, you might dist-upgrade again there is a newer kernel than -16 [02:21] foxbuntu: qt [02:21] dolphin, switch it to opengl [02:22] pcglue, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:22] pcglue, that will ensure you grab all the updates [02:22] then reboot and try it again [02:22] foxbuntu, ok, i'll try that. thanks === Jasonl is now known as Jasonw [02:36] foxbuntu: so, wireless seems to be working at sufficient speed... and video plays fine once copied... [02:36] so, i'm guessing the problem is lying somewhere with the frontend [02:36] ellos, curious if anyone would help me troubleshoot a usb gamepad for controlling mythtv? [02:37] dolphin, I agree, did you change to opengl? [02:37] foxbuntu: yup.. and still no go [02:39] dolphin, it plays fine local but not over the network... hmmm [02:39] but your network speed seems fine [02:40] dolphin, try streaming from mythweb === croppa_ is now known as croppa === mindframe is now known as Guest68352 [06:20] hello al [06:20] can some please help i have an issue with using vnc on Mythbuntu [06:21] it shows its enabled in the Control centre but when i try to vnc to it from a machine it doesnt connect [06:22] nevermind [06:22] thanks all [06:33] foxbuntu, i did a dist-upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-17 like you suggested but still have the same problem with no sound captured from my PVR-350 [07:39] hello [07:39] anyone here at the moment?

I am running Mythbuntu 7.10 [09:16] its so hard to find this issue on google i have no idea what i must do [09:16] i wouldnt want to just keep reinstalling it after i update it [09:36] ? [09:36] nevermind then [09:38] bob25: patience is a virtue [09:38] not everyone is awake right now [09:39] you probably need to remove mythdvd and update mythvideo. mythdvd is now integrated into mythvideo [09:41] sry cos ive been onto this for a week already and i cant find anything about, it really gets frustrating [09:41] sorry bout that [09:41] so remove myth dvd is it [09:41] is that in the plugin section in control center [09:51] laga ur a lend [09:51] legend [09:51] thanks heaps [09:52] so if i dont have the MythDVD plugin does that mean im going to miss out on some features [09:52] ? [09:52] if ur busy thats ok, ill wait a little [09:55] just another thing man [09:55] how can u access the sound control panel in the Backend [09:55] so i can increase the volume [09:58] You say you are on ubuntu 7.10? [10:24] yep [10:27] morning guys [10:27] setting up mythtv... few questions... i m in spain... using a dvb-t usb receiver i had to grab drivers v4l in a folder... [10:27] TV_format: what should i put? [10:27] secam? PAL-? ... [10:28] Channel Frequency table: ? [10:29] morning how are ya [10:29] morning bob25 [10:30] :) i was wondering, in Spain, which TV format i should put in mythtv [10:30] PAL [10:31] should be fine [10:32] thanks [10:32] and VBI format?... [10:33] pal teletext? [10:34] and the channel frequency table for Spain? europe west? try-all? [10:52] pal, pal-teletext, and Europe West seem good values. In the Video Capture Section, [10:52] if I have a USB DVB-T receiver, what should I put? [10:56] can someone please tell me how to do a package list update on mythbunu? [10:59] anyone plz [11:02] Bob24: you should dist-upgrade if possible [11:03] like --> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:06] what does this do [11:06] ? [11:06] upgrades you to release Hardy heron [11:10] i did that but still on gusty thats fine [11:10] the prob is that i am getting this error when i try to install libdvdcss2 [11:11] Package libdvdcss2 has no available version, but exists in the database. [11:13] u think if i upgrade to Hardy Heron it will fix this? [11:16] what would u suggest ddgoose? [11:17] add medibuntu repository and install medibuntu keychain [11:17] k ill give it a shot thanks [11:20] no problem [11:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [11:20] for instructions === croppa_ is now known as croppa [11:37] bob25: sorry, went for breakfast etc. no, mythdvd has been integrated into mythvideo. you've just upgraded to mythtv 0.21 :) === MythbuntuGuest98 is now known as wariolas [12:39] hi all [12:39] need some help [12:40] howto configure video card so it will pop up on TV? [17:48] can anyone tell me if its possible to get MythTv working with inputlirc .... I can't find any documentation about the subject [18:00] can anyone tell me if its possible to get MythTv working with inputlirc .... I can't find any documentation about the subject [18:00] sorry about posting that and dissapearing had to logout [18:01] what is inputlirc? [18:04] Documentation about lirc you find in http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ [18:10] stu: whats the problem with inputlirc? [18:41] nothing its working... I just want to know if I can make it work with MythTV [18:41] I have it working with mplayer [18:42] laga ^ [18:49] stu: yes [18:50] 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] I had to create a lircrc for mplayer to get that to work [18:50] using inputlirc [18:51] what I dont know is how I can get the remote to control MythTV [18:51] well [18:51] big surprise: you need to create a lircrc :) [18:52] ok for mplayer I have things like: button = KEY_PLAYPAUSE [18:52] config = pause [18:53] prog = mplayer [18:53] stu: i think the mythtv documentation or the mythtv wiki have some information about the correct file format [18:53] so for mythtv, I tried prog =- mythtv ; button KEY_VOLUMEUP ; config up [18:54] 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 [18:59] stu, did you make sure the lircd.conf was working yet? [18:59] via irw [18:59] I dont beleive inputlirc uses lircd.conf ? [19:00] well i mean yesterday you were hacking at this [19:00] i wasn't sure what happened eventually [19:00] irw does show output yes.... 73 0 KEY_VOLUMEUP event1 [19:01] so I tried to "bind" KEY_VOLUMEUP to config = up in lircrc [19:04] irxevent gives no output - is it supposed to ? [19:06] ok... adding prog = irxevent ; config = Key Up CurrentWindow gives me output in irxevent and also works in MythTV now [19:06] but also changes volume at the same time lol [19:07] I need to somehow get rid of Ubuntu's built-in ability to use the remote control [19:07] you are trying to use irxevent for sure then? [19:07] not native myth support of the remote [19:08] stu: inputlirc has an option to use the device exclusively. [19:08] I really dont know; I was just reading someone on mythtv website and it was using irxevent [19:08] how do I configure mythtv for native remote support ? [19:09] and laga... any idea how/where ? [19:09] stu: man inputlircd [19:09] ta [19:09] you can set it in /etc/default/inputlirc* [19:09] i havent used inputlirc in a long time [19:09] this is all very confusing because I dont understand the difference between native support, irxevent, inputlirc etc etc [19:10] 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 [19:12] do you remember where inputlirc is installed to which inputlirc doenst give output [19:12] I found the startup argument to use the device exclusively [19:13] actually /etc/init.d/inputlirc should answer that question nm [19:22] holy **** [19:22] * stu kisses laga [19:23] I can move up and down in MythTv and play/pause a video in Mplayer [19:23] thanks. here, have a mint [19:23] I'm some of the way there :) [19:23] ;) [19:24] crap but now when I change the volume it also skips forward [19:24] can I make irxevent only send stuff to MythTV and not other applications ? [19:24] try using native support [19:25] what does that mean ? [19:25] stop irxevent [19:25] and then ... ? [19:25] use prog = mythtv [19:25] you can find example lircrcs all over the place [19:25] any idea what the "config" should be I tried "up" [19:25] k, ill look [19:33] tried Up up Key Up none seem to work with prog = mythtv [19:34] perhaps I have to enable MythTV to use a remote? [19:54] hi [19:54] where can i find the option to change the mythtv deinterlacer? [19:59] should be in the frontend setup [19:59] yea i cant find it under the playback tv settings at all [20:00] i thought i heard it was on page 3 the playback profiles but i see no deinterlacer there [20:02] you have to edit the individual profiles [20:02] they each have deinterlacers assigned to them [20:03] ok so i chose the normal profile and if i edit like the first entry i dont see deinterlacer [20:04] its on the second or third subpage [20:04] oh dang i didnt even notice the subpage thanks a ton [20:06] 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? [20:08] can you setup frontends to watch the videos files or is it just for recordings? [20:13] sure [20:13] cool [20:14] 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? [20:15] it says I have the MySQL service enabled [20:15] in mythbuntu Control centre [20:16] 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 [20:22] yes, you need to have all remote fe's set to the master be's ip [20:23] also, make sure that you only have the master be set for doing mythfilldatabase [20:24] just out of curiosity what happens if you have more than one do the mythfilldatabase? [20:24] buntunub, I don't think you can have more than just the master do it (setup from the frontend that is) [20:25] not sure about that tgm [20:25] the mythtv guide specifies that however, so it may be possible [20:25] hey what tuner cards do you guys use? [20:26] PVR-150, PVR-500 [20:26] PVR-250 [20:26] nice i have a pvr-150 now and i just ordered a second [20:27] It really depends on where you get your signal from [20:27] never have had the chance to compliment the mythbuntu devs before so i hope some are watching -- GREAT JOB!! [20:28] \o/ [20:28] the Ubuntu devs should pickup on that control center idea -- its fantastic [20:29] like a one click install kinda thing [20:29] all i had to do was install that and mythtv pretty much set itself up [20:30] glad it's working for you - we usually only get to see the bug reports ;) [20:30] my only remaining wish is that mythtv windowed mode worked with default compiz enabled on Ubuntu [20:31] it works but no window borders [20:31] so you have to use alt+shift to move it from the top lefthand corner [20:33] anyway thats such a minor issue [20:34] given the fact that mythtv by itself is such a bear to install, mythbuntu makes it almost too easy, so thanks guys [20:36] i was looking in etc/mythtv/mysql.txt it says: DBHostName=localhost [20:36] DBUserName=mythtv [20:36] Could that be the problem? [20:36] i am thinking that is only for the local FE on the BE, but at this point..."???? ;) [20:45] 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? [20:46] 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 [20:47] pdlnhrd, what do you want to do [20:47] all i want to do is recored tv and stream to work [20:47] i already have a hdpvr too [20:48] follow the mythtv setup guide its really good [20:48] pdlnhrd, you have an HDPVR? [20:49] tells you exactly how to setup streaming tv and stuff like that from master/remote fe's and be's [20:49] tgm4883_laptop: yup [20:49] does it work well in linux? [20:49] pdlnhrd, where do you want to stream TV to? [20:49] work [20:49] hmm [20:50] but every cool feature is turned offf [20:50] which features are turned off? [20:50] are you talking about the HD PVR or mythtv [20:50] ethernet, usb, firewire, hdmi, etc [20:51] 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] tgm4883_laptop: Ah, he's not talking about the Hauppauge :) [20:52] oh [20:52] that makes so much more sense now [20:52] tgm4883_laptop: No linux support *yet* but last I heard the driver's author was releasing them tonight [20:52] iamlindoro_, sweet [20:52] + myth support [20:53] 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] 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? [20:54] is there a hauppauge pvr? [20:54] pdlnhrd: We are speaking about a different type of device [20:54] 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] *called* the Hauppauge HD-PVR, but it is not a stand-alone PVR unto itself [20:55] I'm not sure if you enabled the flash mythweb support if that would help [20:55] my upstream is .5 MB which is suffice for the most part [20:56] are you saying the WinTV-PVR-500 whould have linux support soon/ [20:56] you guys know how to make mplayer quit using a lirc command ? [20:57] escape doesnt do it [20:57] pdlnhrd: No. We are speaking about, once again, th Hauppauge HD-PVR [20:57] 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] pdlnhrd, that or you will need to transcode the show to a lower quality first [20:58] so it sounds like slingbox is the way to go for now [20:58] it will even allow me to watch ondemand content [20:58] alternatively you could try mythstreamtv, but I know almost nothing about that [20:59] it hsn't been updated in a long time [21:00] mythtv has soooo much potentional.... but it just isn't quite there [21:01] I disagree, your thought on that is based on that it won't do 1 thing you want it to do [21:01] to which I would reply, have you tried the flash based mythweb yet? [21:01] tgm4883_laptop ++ [21:01] flash player works great, and the price is right :) [21:02] 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 [21:03] point taken.... i try to research more [21:05] just means i have to buy a tuner card to see if i can get it to do everything i want [21:11] okay..thats weird. Using SquirrelSQL...I can connect to mysql daemon and see everything, but if I directly connect to mythconverg...it fails [21:13] now hes happy both ways....yeah...now to try with new MythTV FE [21:16] dagnabit.....it is still falling from the new FE? I dont get it [21:17] javatexan, i'm going to go grab some lunch, if your still having issues i'll try to troubleshoot them when i'm back [21:18] no prob...I will have to go for a while to...think my 2yr old is getting up [21:18] ;) [21:18] 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] It seems to keep losing my nvidia drivers. [21:18] I reset it up and reboot and I'm back to running in low res mode [21:18] anyone know how I can fix this? [21:25] 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] that sounds like an xorg or nvidia issue frego [21:26] 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 [21:28] 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. [21:29] ok ill disable that - what about weather ? [21:29] You should be checking the wiki for this stuff, there is info there (or at least via googling) for setting up UK weather [21:30] k [22:41] guys, I'm trying the mythubuntu CD and bouth use live CD and install throw me into the ash shell [22:41] I'm guessing this ain't normal [22:45] any suggestions? it's the new 8.04 x86 cd [23:29] can anyone clue me into, say, seeing the composit input of a hauppage wintv pvr-150? on VLC could be a nice start [23:32] 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 [23:33] and how did you choose the card's input? [23:33] avihayb, you have to use the ivtv tools to change the input [23:34] thanks, i'll give it a go. [23:34] any clues about the liveCD? [23:35] avihayb, did you verify the iso, burn at a slow speed, and then verify the cd burn? [23:35] 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. [23:36] I let nero verify [23:36] pcglue, did you try line in 2? [23:37] tgm4883_latop, yes i did, still no audio [23:37] also upgraded to latest kernel in repository, 2.6.24-17 [23:38] do you have audio in other programs? [23:38] yes, my sound card works. if I plug in the audio into the mic, i can hear it over my speakers. [23:39] It's only when I plug into PVR-350 that it doesn't capture any audio. [23:39] This broke when I upgraded from gutsy to hardy [23:39] what sound card? [23:40] avihayb, does a regular ubuntu live cd (same version) also do the same? [23:41] avihayb, look at the log in that shell's root directory [23:41] casper.log [23:41] it tells you what happened [23:41] 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] Is that what you mean when you asked if I have audio in other programs? [23:41] 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 [23:42] I can playback recordings that were recorded before I upgraded to hardy fine. They still have sound. [23:42] mind saveing me the troble of figur out exacly what's in the ivtv package and tell me how to switch to the composit? [23:43] trouble of figuring [23:43] avihayb, i'd have to look it up myself [23:43] pcglue, no i meant what type of sound card, ie, make/model [23:43] or pastebin lspci [23:45] avihayb, "v4l2-ctl --list-inputs" to list the inputs, then "v4l2-ctl --set-input=" where corresponds to the input you want [23:48] tgm4883_latop, http://pastebin.com/d38811122 [23:49] thanks pcglue, you'r a saint (as in a great guy) [23:50] avihayb, no prob. i've been struggling with a pvr-350 problem right now so I got familiar with those utilities [23:51] well, I now see the composit exit via VLC. I didn't need to cat to an mpeg file beforehand [23:53] now, to take over the world!!!1 muhahaha [23:54] ehm, I mean, how do I get mythTV or the likes to work, I ain't too picky, yet... [23:54] pcglue, how are you getting your video? svideo, composite, or coax? [23:54] tgm4883_laptop, composite. and that still works. just no audio. [23:54] avihayb, the problem? [23:56] hmm [23:56] yea IIRC, the input should be 2 (for audio) but thats not working either? [23:56] how are you testing? [23:56] no, it's not. I tried all the audio inputs. [23:57] superm1, theres not any extra pvr-350 setup required is there? [23:57] for basic operation? [23:57] i dont like the pvr-350 [23:57] people should stop using it [23:57] mostly because i dont like it [23:57] well that settles it [23:57] i watch liveTV on mythtv and set the input and see if i hear the audio [23:57] oh, I installed mythTV, from xubontu repositories [23:58] superm1, heh, ok, what do you recommend? [23:58] pcglue, sorry can't help you. superm1 has spoken. You must throw it away or risk being banned from this channel forever [23:58] but regarding extra setup, well yeah that's why i dont like it [23:58] haha not that bad [23:58] its just you get more bang for your buck using a graphics card with tv out [23:58]
