[00:01] <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?
[00:25] <avihayb> bahh, mythTV isn't self explanetoty enough for me to wing it, and the mythTV documentation dosn't help me much...
[00:45] <szakulec> avihayb: got a question?
[00:57] <rday> Is there anyone out there that may be able to help with a capture card/video card conflict?
[01:53] <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
[01:55] <foxbuntu> dolphin, what frame rate is the video?
[01:55] <dolphin> it shows a frame per several seconda
[01:55] <dolphin> seconds
[01:56] <foxbuntu> dolphin, ok...but what was the frame rate of the recording
[01:56] <dolphin> umm... whatever the default is
[01:57] <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?)
[01:58] <dolphin> absolutely
[01:58] <dolphin> i'm right next to my ASUS wl500g premium router
[01:59] <dolphin> other laptop works great
[01:59] <foxbuntu> hmm
[01:59] <foxbuntu> could be video rather than wifi
[02:00] <foxbuntu> what video card does the laptop thats not working have in it?
[02:01] <dolphin> foxbuntu:  i don't buy laptops that don't use intel all the way around... it's X3100
[02:04] <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
[02:06] <dolphin> foxbuntu:  says 48Mb/s
[02:06] <foxbuntu> dolphin, well, your G connection is good then
[02:07] <foxbuntu> dolphin, what playback profile re you using?
[02:09] <dolphin> foxbuntu:  hmm... playback "group" seems to be Default
[02:10] <dolphin> recording profile is MPEG-2 PS... but that shouldn't matter since it works fine on my other, older intel-based laptop
[02:11] <foxbuntu> dolphin, right but there is a playback profile too
[02:12] <foxbuntu> dolphin, have you tried just copying one of those files local to the laptop and playing it to rule out the wifi?
[02:13] <dolphin> foxbuntu:  that's not what i'm after.  i REALLY want the frontend to work just like the other laptop
[02:14] <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...
[02:15] <dolphin> hold please
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <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
[02:36] <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?
[02:37] <foxbuntu> dolphin, I agree, did you change to opengl?
[02:37] <dolphin> foxbuntu: yup.. and still no go
[02:39] <foxbuntu> dolphin, it plays fine local but not over the network... hmmm
[02:39] <foxbuntu> but your network speed seems fine
[02:40] <tgm4883_laptop> dolphin, try streaming from mythweb
[06:20] <Bob24> hello al
[06:20] <Bob24> can some please help i have an issue with using vnc on Mythbuntu

[09:38] <laga> bob25: patience is a virtue
[09:38] <laga> not everyone is awake right now

[09:41] <bob25> sry cos ive been onto this for a week already and i cant find anything about, it really gets frustrating
[09:41] <bob25> sorry bout that

[10:27] <ChinoChano> morning guys
[10:27] <ChinoChano> 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] <ChinoChano> TV_format: what should i put?
[10:27] <ChinoChano> secam? PAL-?  ...
[10:28] <ChinoChano> Channel Frequency table: ?
[10:29] <bob25> morning how are ya
[10:29] <ChinoChano> morning bob25
[10:30] <ChinoChano> :)  i was wondering, in Spain, which TV format i should put in mythtv
[10:30] <bob25> PAL
[10:31] <bob25> should be fine
[10:32] <ChinoChano> thanks
[10:32] <ChinoChano> and VBI format?...
[10:33] <ChinoChano> pal teletext?
[10:34] <ChinoChano> and the channel frequency table for Spain? europe west? try-all?
[10:52] <ChinoChano> pal, pal-teletext, and Europe West seem good values. In the Video Capture Section,
[10:52] <ChinoChano> if I have a USB DVB-T receiver, what should I put?
[10:56] <Bob24> can someone please tell me how to do a package list update on mythbunu?
[10:59] <Bob24> anyone plz
[11:02] <ddgoose> Bob24: you should dist-upgrade if possible
[11:03] <ddgoose> like --> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:06] <Bob24> what does this do
[11:06] <Bob24> ?
[11:06] <ddgoose> upgrades you to release Hardy heron
[11:10] <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
[11:11] <Bob24> Package libdvdcss2 has no available version, but exists in the database.
[11:13] <Bob24> u think if i upgrade to Hardy Heron it will fix this?
[11:16] <Bob24> what would u suggest ddgoose?
[11:17] <ddgoose> add medibuntu repository and install medibuntu keychain
[11:17] <Bob24> k ill give it a shot thanks
[11:20] <ddgoose> no problem
[11:20] <ddgoose> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[11:20] <ddgoose> for instructions
[11:37] <laga> bob25: sorry, went for breakfast etc. no, mythdvd has been integrated into mythvideo. you've just upgraded to mythtv 0.21 :)
[12:39] <wariolas> hi all
[12:39] <wariolas> need some help
[12:40] <wariolas> howto configure video card so it will pop up on TV?
[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> 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
[18:01] <Easy_Rider9999> what is inputlirc?
[18:04] <Easy_Rider9999> Documentation about lirc you find in http://www.mythtv.org/docs/
[18:10] <laga> stu: whats the problem with inputlirc?
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <stu> laga ^
[18:49] <laga> stu: yes
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <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 :)
[18:52] <stu> ok for mplayer I have things like: button = KEY_PLAYPAUSE
[18:52] <stu> config = pause
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <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
[18:59] <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 ?
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <stu> so I tried to "bind" KEY_VOLUMEUP to config = up in lircrc
[19:04] <stu> irxevent gives no output - is it supposed to ?
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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 ?
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <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
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <stu> actually /etc/init.d/inputlirc should answer that question nm
[19:22] <stu> holy ****
[19:22]  * stu kisses laga
[19:23] <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> ;)
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <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
[19:33] <stu> tried Up up Key Up none seem to work with prog = mythtv
[19:34] <stu> perhaps I have to enable MythTV to use a remote?
[19:54] <mooseman089> hi
[19:54] <mooseman089> where can i find the option to change the mythtv deinterlacer?
[19:59] <buntunub> should be in the frontend setup
[19:59] <mooseman089> yea i cant find it under the playback tv settings at all
[20:00] <mooseman089> i thought i heard it was on page 3 the playback profiles but i see no deinterlacer there
[20:02] <superm1> you have to edit the individual profiles
[20:02] <superm1> they each have deinterlacers assigned to them
[20:03] <mooseman089> ok so i chose the normal profile and if i edit like the first entry i dont see deinterlacer
[20:04] <superm1> its on the second or third subpage
[20:04] <mooseman089> oh dang i didnt even notice the subpage thanks a ton
[20:06] <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?
[20:08] <javatexan> can you setup frontends to watch the videos files or is it just for recordings?
[20:13] <superm1> sure
[20:13] <javatexan> cool
[20:14] <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?
[20:15] <javatexan> it says I have the MySQL service enabled
[20:15] <javatexan> in mythbuntu Control centre
[20:16] <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
[20:22] <buntunub> yes, you need to have all remote fe's set to the master be's ip
[20:23] <buntunub> also, make sure that you only have the master be set for doing mythfilldatabase
[20:24] <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)
[20:25] <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?
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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!!
[20:28] <laga> \o/
[20:28] <buntunub> the Ubuntu devs should pickup on that control center idea -- its fantastic
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:33] <buntunub> anyway thats such a minor issue
[20:34] <buntunub> given the fact that mythtv by itself is such a bear to install, mythbuntu makes it almost too easy, so thanks guys
[20:36] <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..."???? ;)
[20:45] <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?
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <buntunub> follow the mythtv setup guide its really good
[20:48] <tgm4883_laptop> pdlnhrd, you have an HDPVR?
[20:49] <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
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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 :)
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <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?
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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 ?
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <pdlnhrd> it hsn't been updated in a  long time
[21:00] <pdlnhrd> mythtv has soooo much potentional.... but it just isn't quite there
[21:01] <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 :)
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <pdlnhrd> point taken.... i try to research more
[21:05] <pdlnhrd> just means i have to buy a tuner card to see if i can get it to do everything i want
[21:11] <javatexan> okay..thats weird.  Using SquirrelSQL...I can connect to mysql daemon and see everything, but if I directly connect to mythconverg...it fails
[21:13] <javatexan> now hes happy both ways....yeah...now to try with new MythTV FE
[21:16] <javatexan> dagnabit.....it is still falling from the new FE?  I dont get it
[21:17] <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
[21:18] <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?
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <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
[21:28] <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.
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <stu> k
[22:41] <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
[22:45] <avihayb> any suggestions? it's the new 8.04 x86 cd
[23:29] <avihayb> can anyone clue me into, say, seeing the composit input of a hauppage wintv pvr-150? on VLC could be a nice start
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <avihayb> thanks, i'll give it a go.
[23:34] <avihayb> any clues about the liveCD?
[23:35] <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.
[23:36] <avihayb> I let nero verify
[23:36] <tgm4883_laptop> pcglue, did you try line in 2?
[23:37] <pcglue> tgm4883_latop, yes i did, still no audio
[23:37] <pcglue> also upgraded to latest kernel in repository, 2.6.24-17
[23:38] <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.
[23:39] <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?
[23:40] <tgm4883_laptop> avihayb, does a regular ubuntu live cd (same version) also do the same?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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?
[23:43] <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
[23:45] <pcglue> avihayb, "v4l2-ctl --list-inputs" to list the inputs, then "v4l2-ctl --set-input=<num>" where <num> corresponds to the input you want
[23:48] <pcglue> tgm4883_latop, http://pastebin.com/d38811122
[23:49] <avihayb> thanks pcglue, you'r a saint (as in a great guy)
[23:50] <pcglue> avihayb, no prob.  i've been struggling with a pvr-350 problem right now so I got familiar with those utilities
[23:51] <avihayb> well, I now see the composit exit via VLC. I didn't need to cat to an mpeg file beforehand
[23:53] <avihayb> now, to take over the world!!!1 muhahaha
[23:54] <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?
[23:56] <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.
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <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)
