ffmIs it realistic to make a mythbuntu machine out of an old 98 beige box?02:03
ffm(windows 98, shipped in 0002:04
iamlindoroffm: You'll probably have to be more specific about what's in that beige box, but I will predict "no"02:09
ffmiamlindoro: welll... 256mb ram... /me looks up...02:10
ffmiamlindoro: Pentium III (Katmai)02:10
* ffm moves to #mythtv-users02:10
foxbuntuffm, the strait answer is no02:12
foxbuntuffm, video encoding/decoding is a very CPU/GPU/Memory intensive process that your old machine has no guts to handle...02:13
ffmfoxbuntu: even sd?02:13
foxbuntuffm, even sd, I do mostly SD and my amd 3400+ with commflagging and everything else is maxed out02:14
rhpot1991I'd argue it depends on what roll the box has02:21
rhpot1991but as a whole you won't be too happy with performance on it02:21
foxbunturhpot1991, comn...you always disagree with me just cuz you can02:39

rhpot1991I need to ddrescue another dvd02:53
rhpot1991freaking sony02:53
foxbuntuproblem is that the partition I have to rescue to is smaller than the amount of data on the other drive so I am hoping to grab the part info from the image and restore the partition02:54
foxbunturather than recover and rebuild it02:54
rhpot1991ouch02:55

pobskiany nightowls available to help a noob out with a quick question?10:00
pobskii guess not. I'll just write it here and check back periodically.  I installed mythbuntu following the instruction manual, and got most of the features working well.10:01
pobskiThe problem I'm currently having is that my tuner (PVR-150) is only tuning in static to all of the channels i'm tuning in.10:02
pobskiI've searched it quite a bit, but all of the solutions I find aren't pertinent to 8.04.  A lot of them refer to an older(I'm guessing) file structure and I'm unable to get it to work well.10:04

raslacI'm having trouble with 6channel audio on spdif on my mythbuntu frontend :) Attempting a passthrough to my receiver, but whenver I check the passthrough boxes in mythtv, I get no output at all, instead of the 2channel pcm I get to the receiver.20:01
raslacI can send 5.1 and dts from mplayer using -channels 6 -ac hwac3 or hwdts -channels 6 as options, but I've tried just about every permutation of choices in mythtv's audio config page.20:02
raslacany ideas on something I might be missing?20:04
pobskiso i was looking around until pretty late last night, and i couldn't find the solution to my problem20:32
pobskii go in to the backend setup and configure my capture card, video source, and input20:32
pobskithen I can scan channels and it comes up with the channels my tv normally finds, so i assume it's all good20:33
pobskiafter that i go to the frontend, select watch tv, and all i get is static20:33
pobskimy tuner is a PVR-150 (low profile if it matters) and i'm running 8.0420:34
pobskihas anyone else had a similar problem?  i think i double checked the cable plugin about 10 times lol20:35
tgm4883_laptoppobski, did you scan for channels or get channels from schedules direct?20:42
pobskii got them from schedules direct20:43
pobskii tried the different varieties of cable as well hrc irc, i don't really know what they mean though >.<20:44
pobskithere was a post on a forum from about a year ago that said you had to set "option mode = 50" in modprobe.conf20:44
pobskibut being the mythbuntu scrub i am, i don't know where that file is located for me to edit20:45

Berethend_Hey I'm having a minor problem with my MythTV running in Ubunut 8.04, anyone around to help? I read the sound problems FAQ with no success. I am getting a sound echo on video playback and the only way to correct it is to mute the master audio. Whenever I exit mythtv, the sound "resets" and becomes unmuted again so it's quite a pain to have to mute the master audio every time I want to watch...23:51
Berethend_...media. Any fixes?23:51
