| tanstaafl32 | greets all...using a pvr-350 and a digital cable box (moto), shouldn't i be able to see streaming video in VLC? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| tanstaafl32 | sorry for the lack of wind up: this is a new install, i can get the schedules, etc, just no live video | 01:04 |
| petriborg | question / opinions -- is the mythbuntu metapackage any good? any experiences w/ installing it on an 8.04 ubuntu desktop would be much appreciated -- I'd really like to avoid screwing up my raid and other development :-) | 02:16 |
| petriborg | anyone? | 02:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | petriborg, yea we tend to think it's pretty good. Although what you probably should do is install mythbuntu-control-centre and configure from there | 03:19 |
| petriborg | this is different from the http://mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu ? | 03:22 |
| petriborg | i just want to make sure i'm not going to hose my existing setup since it is my primary machine, i'm also building a second box which I'm intending as a front end -- I'm thinking it might be better to do that as a front/back if nothing else but for practice... | 03:27 |
| petriborg | thats for tgm4883_laptop i suppose | 03:35 |

| ChrisC35 | iamlindoro__ | 03:48 |
| ChrisC35 | can anyone help me get my HVR-1600 to work with a fresh install of mythbuntu? | 03:49 |
| ChrisC35 | i have to clone hg or something | 03:50 |
| ChrisC35 | what is mythdora? | 03:56 |
| ChrisC35 | what is better mythdora or mythbuntu | 03:57 |
| ChrisC35 | is anyone here? | 04:01 |
| petriborg | yeah but i don't know a damn thing about mythdora vs mythbuntu :-) | 04:02 |
| petriborg | i'm just trying to figure out if its a bad idea to install myth on a primary server which i use, or if its robust enough not to send my system in to the drink | 04:03 |
| ChrisC35 | cant help u there | 04:06 |
| geraldnunn | Dumb question, but when you are using the EPG with the LiveTV preview, is there any way to directly jump the EPG to a specific channel? I'd like to type '528' on the remote and have the guide jump to that channel | 04:54 |
| geraldnunn | Never mind, just found it in settings | 04:56 |
| ChrisC35 | if it says 'unable to probe' does that mean the tv tuner is not working (or mythbuntu cant recognize it)? | 05:37 |
| foxbuntu | ChrisC35, what type of tuner is it? | 05:38 |
| Solarbaby | I've never been able to probe.. but then again I use a usb IR device to switch the channels on my satalite | 05:38 |
| ChrisC35 | hvr-1600 | 05:40 |
| ChrisC35 | i cloned and compiled hg | 05:40 |
| ChrisC35 | and install | 05:41 |
| ChrisC35 | rebooted | 05:41 |
| foxbuntu | ChrisC35, the driver is still only beta...its not well supported yet | 05:41 |
| foxbuntu | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 | 05:41 |
| ChrisC35 | well i thought i did install the v4l-dvb drivers | 05:46 |
| foxbuntu | had you not? | 05:47 |
| ChrisC35 | but when i go to configure a mpeg-2 source, it just says unable to probe | 05:47 |
| ChrisC35 | yes i did hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb | 05:47 |
| ChrisC35 | make and make install | 05:48 |
| foxbuntu | ChrisC35, well sorry I really can't be of much help on the matter, I suggest the forums | 05:57 |
| happy | Howdy, I have a tv tuner related question. I have a Compro T750F (I am assuming it has the same drivers as the T750). From what I can gather V4L project supports this as card 139, unfortunately the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134 list only goes to 132. My Kernel version is 2.6.25-6 (well it should be at least, that is what I tried upgrading too from 2.6.24-18). I would like to know the best method of getting the new saa7134 dr | 07:53 |
| happy | ivers into a custom kernel of some kind... | 07:53 |
| sebrock | I need some help starting NFS on boot with fstab... I get mount.nfs: internal error. Guessing it has to do with networking starting to late... | 08:16 |
| sebrock | I have tried movinf stuff in rc.2 but to no avail | 08:16 |
| sebrock | Am I the only one experiencing problems with NFS mounts on boot here? | 09:22 |
| happy | sebrock, I have not even reached that point =P | 09:22 |
| sebrock | happy, what do you mean? | 09:29 |
| source_code | hello everyone. is it possible to install mythtv 0.20. version on ubuntu 8.04 | 09:37 |
| superm1 | not via packages | 09:37 |
| superm1 | you'll have to do it from source if you want to | 09:37 |
| source_code | i am actually trying to get mythtv frontend to run on my xbox | 09:38 |
| superm1 | well if i were you i'd just compile 0.21 for the xbox | 09:38 |
| superm1 | rather than 0.20 for ubuntu | 09:38 |
| source_code | via xbmc or xebian but failed so far. do you have any suggestions for 0.21 working with xbmc or xebian | 09:39 |
| superm1 | there are lots of nicities integration wise that come with the packages on ubuntu | 09:39 |
| superm1 | can't say i've ever had to work with an xbox | 09:39 |
| superm1 | sorry | 09:39 |
| source_code | i read somewhere that mythtv versions are same for all branched projects too e.g xbmcmythtv. meaning xbmcmythtv 0.20 will only work for backend 0.20 | 09:41 |
| superm1 | which is true, but if you have a general purpose linux distro installed | 09:43 |
| superm1 | like xebian | 09:43 |
| superm1 | you can build mythtv at least | 09:43 |
| superm1 | for the 0.21 version | 09:43 |
| source_code | as frontend...? | 09:43 |
| superm1 | yeah | 09:44 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: I've missed you | 12:06 |
| laga | ooh, how cute :) | 12:07 |
| Solarbaby | I finally got around to rebuilding a mythbox | 12:08 |
| Solarbaby | so now the fun begins! | 12:08 |
| baalsgate | Solarbaby with the new disrto it is getting very easy to get a myth box goin | 12:53 |
| baalsgate | compared to installing it three years ago that is | 12:55 |
| baalsgate | going from 7.10 to 8.04 caused a few new problems but fixed many old ones , menus are so much faster now | 12:57 |
| baalsgate | and cron jobs actualy work | 12:57 |
| baalsgate | padtokeys for imon not in the lirc was a disapointment but otherwise it all looks to be happy | 12:58 |
| baalsgate | upgrade process would have been much easier if i didnt need to mess with custom lirc builds but other than that im happy | 13:00 |
| Solarbaby | for some reason im having a little trouble getting my Hauppauge 350 working | 13:09 |
| Solarbaby | weird | 13:09 |
| Solarbaby | I guess I really should give the log files a look over | 13:09 |
| Solarbaby | Hey .. Farout.. Log Files are My Friends! | 13:24 |
| propagandhi | is this channel for users? | 14:27 |
| propagandhi | i've got a problem where i cannot adjust the volume when watching live tv, but when watching movies etc it works fine | 14:28 |
| petriborg | it is the channel, no idea about problem though :-) | 14:29 |
| petriborg | anyone know what myth uses expect for? | 14:30 |
| propagandhi | petriborg: ok thanks | 14:30 |
| bibabenjo | hello, is somebody there who has experience with configuring lirc? | 15:21 |
| laga | !ask | 15:22 |
| laga | just ask a question :) | 15:22 |
| |gunni| | Hi there. I got a problem running mythtv-backend on an AMD K6-2 machine. Is it a bug, or is it just that i586 is not supported and i686 is minimum? | 15:23 |
| laga | yes | 15:24 |
| laga | (to the latter) | 15:24 |
| |gunni| | i686 is minimum? | 15:24 |
| |gunni| | Do you know if it should work on debian then? | 15:24 |
| laga | yes | 15:24 |
| laga | debian will probably work. i don't know how marillat's packages are compiled | 15:25 |
| |gunni| | I will try then | 15:25 |
| sebrock | finally got the LCD working, however I need to pass a paramter to the module, is this possible in mythbuntu-control-center? | 15:25 |
| bibabenjo | allright, im configuring my remote control, and it works well with amarok! Now Im trying to configure it as a virtual mouse! I added an entry in the xorg.conf and also edited the lircmd.conf! Unfortunately it doesnt work and i cant figure out why | 15:26 |
| sebrock | anyone knows if it is possible to pass module parameters with mythbuntu control center? | 15:28 |
| sebrock | what is the lp module? | 15:42 |
| popey | should mythtranscode work out of the box on mythbuntu 8.04? I ask because if i choose to transcode a programme it fails with error 255. If I run mythtranscode manually on an mpg file it says:- http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/935 | 15:53 |
| popey | is there somewhere in mythtv I need to configure transcoding? | 15:53 |
| Daviey | popey: user jobs :) | 16:50 |
| Daviey | Where are you adding them? | 16:50 |
| Daviey | I can't tell you the setting off the top of my head.. Not @ home | 16:52 |
| popey | hang on | 16:58 |
| popey | there is a setting to transcode in myth-setup | 16:58 |
| popey | you don't need to add a user job, it's a pre-defined job | 16:58 |
| popey | but anyway, it fails when run from the command line | 16:58 |
| popey | so i fail to see how setting a user job would fix it | 16:59 |

| ChrisC35 | whats the main differences betwen mythbuntu and mythdora | 22:00 |
| ChrisC35 | iamlindoro__ are you here | 22:02 |
| ChrisC35 | i'm trying to install the v4l-dvb drivers, can anyone help? | 22:03 |
| ChrisC35 | how can I check to see if they are installed? | 22:03 |
| Daviey | < ChrisC35> whats the main differences betwen mythbuntu and mythdora | 22:07 |
| Daviey | Mythbuntu is based on ubuntu and keeps close ties | 22:07 |
| Daviey | mythdora is based on Fedora | 22:08 |
| Daviey | ^ Main difference | 22:08 |
| popey | Daviey: you at home now? any chance you can press the transcode button and see if it works on your myth backend? | 22:09 |
| Daviey | sure | 22:10 |
| popey | thanks | 22:10 |
| popey | alternatively, just run mythtranscode --infile /path/to/an/mpg/file/created/by/mythtv | 22:10 |
| ChrisC35 | im trying to get my hvr-1600 to work - i installed the v4l-dvb drivers, and the hauppauge is showing up when I do a lspci -v. But in myth setup for mpeg-2 it just always reports that it can't see it for tv card setup | 22:13 |
| Daviey | popey: hmm | 22:13 |
| Daviey | 2008-06-15 22:11:20.487 No video information found! | 22:13 |
| Daviey | 2008-06-15 22:11:20.487 Please ensure that recording profiles for the transcoder are set | 22:13 |
| popey | 2008-06-15 22:14:35.999 No video information found! | 22:15 |
| popey | 2008-06-15 22:14:35.999 Please ensure that recording profiles for the transcoder are set | 22:15 |
| popey | funny that :) | 22:15 |
| Daviey | ChrisC35: no experience with the hvr-1600, is it detected in dmesg? | 22:15 |
| Daviey | It's possible the firmware isn't in the distribution | 22:15 |
| ChrisC35 | its a big list, but i see at the end: lirc_i2c: chip 0x10020 found @ 0x71 (Hauppauge PVR150) | 22:16 |
| ChrisC35 | i also see autodetected Hauppauge card | 22:18 |
| ChrisC35 | shows tuner model, etc | 22:18 |
| ChrisC35 | maybe i should go buy another card | 22:19 |
| ChrisC35 | what should I get\ | 22:19 |
| Daviey | naa, it should work.. let me look at popey's problem first | 22:19 |
| ChrisC35 | k | 22:20 |
| popey | Daviey: feel free to do him first, i can wait | 22:20 |
| ChrisC35 | when i'm in the mythtv setup, for tv card, I choose the mpeg2 one, and it jsut says Failed to open | 22:27 |
| ChrisC35 | under probed info | 22:27 |
| ChrisC35 | is it because i need to get that schedulesdirect.org first? | 22:27 |
| ChrisC35 | or can it just use EIT transmitted guide | 22:27 |
| ChrisC35 | under input connections it says "could not open to probe its inputs | 22:28 |
| ChrisC35 | Daviey? | 22:35 |
| Daviey | popey: found it :) | 22:39 |
| popey | yay | 22:39 |
| Daviey | popey: go into frontend settings -> tv settings -> Recording profiles | 22:39 |
| popey | one mo | 22:39 |
| Daviey | and literally, just open each entry and press enter through them | 22:39 |
| popey | hang on, on the backend or frontend? | 22:39 |
| Daviey | For some reason it seems they are not commited to database on install :/ | 22:40 |
| popey | in myth-setup or what? | 22:40 |
| Daviey | frontend | 22:40 |
| popey | isn' this a backend task? | 22:41 |
| Daviey | popey: some backend tasks are on displayed on the frontend | 22:42 |
| Daviey | the idea being that mythtv-setup only deals with setting up tuners | 22:43 |
| Daviey | and listings | 22:43 |
| popey | ok, so i have gone through that, will that adjust settings on the backend then? | 22:43 |
| Daviey | mythtv-setup is complicated enough! :) | 22:43 |
| popey | no I have visited those pages | 22:43 |
| popey | *now | 22:43 |
| Daviey | yeah, it does the mysql database | 22:43 |
| Daviey | so, a transcode _shoudl_ now work | 22:43 |
| Daviey | or at least it did for me | 22:44 |
| popey | ooooo | 22:44 |
| popey | you're good! | 22:44 |
| popey | beer++ | 22:44 |
| Daviey | heh | 22:44 |
| Daviey | :) | 22:44 |
| Daviey | NEXT | 22:44 |
| popey | have you filed a bug? should ? | 22:44 |
| popey | should I ? | 22:44 |
| Daviey | crack on :) | 22:44 |
| popey | will do tomorrow | 22:45 |
| Daviey | yah | 22:45 |
| popey | once I queue up all these transcodes and hope they work on my poor 1Mhz cpu ;) | 22:45 |
| Daviey | ChrisC35: Channel listings is unrelated to setting up the tuners | 22:45 |
| Daviey | popey: i only allow 1 concurrent task on my weak backend | 22:45 |
| Daviey | i don't know what the default is (2-3?), that's a backend task- Under "1. General" | 22:46 |
| popey | no, mine is set to 1 too | 22:46 |
| popey | but i have a few programmes to transcode :() | 22:46 |
| Daviey | You can also set it to only run overnight | 22:46 |
| popey | nice! | 22:46 |
| popey | I am rapidly becoming a myth convert | 22:46 |
| popey | need to get some more frontends :) | 22:46 |
| Daviey | popey: if you also set up a backend (with no tuners), that could be just a transcoder farm :) | 22:47 |
| Daviey | so WoL it when needed, halt when finished :D | 22:47 |
| popey | niiiice | 22:47 |
| popey | my desktop could do that - dual core etc | 22:47 |
| Daviey | esp, if you set a `nice` value | 22:48 |
| popey | wouldn't want the desktop to shutdown when I'm using it tho :) | 22:48 |
| Daviey | ChrisC35: can you do a test, can you try and use your tuner exteranlly to mythtv? | 22:48 |
| Daviey | ie, if it works in Ubuntu it'll work in Mythbuntu :) | 22:49 |
| popey | 3 mins to do 5% | 22:49 |
| Daviey | how long recording? | 22:49 |
| popey | dunno, picked a random mpg | 22:49 |
| Daviey | popey: "mythrename.pl" useful cron job :) | 22:50 |
| popey | will kill it to run them via the web | 22:50 |
| popey | does that rename mpgs? | 22:50 |
| Daviey | */8 * * * * /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/mythrename.pl --link | 22:50 |
| Daviey | adds a $recording_location/show_names/REALNAME.mpg | 22:51 |
| Daviey | ie, | 22:51 |
| Daviey | Watchdog - 2008-05-12, 7-30 PM.mpg | 22:51 |
| Daviey | Welcome To The Jungle - 2008-02-10, 9-00 PM - Action adventure story and Seann William Scott.mpg | 22:51 |
| Daviey | Who Do You Think You Are- - 2008-04-10, 9-00 PM - Barbara Windsor.mpg | 22:51 |
| popey | nice | 22:51 |
| Daviey | Without the --link it'll actually rename the file, and update the database.. I don't like having filenames with spaces, so --link suites me better | 22:52 |
| Daviey | --link [destination directory] if you don't want recording_location/show_names/ | 22:53 |
| ChrisC35 | sure .. not sure how i woudl do that though | 22:54 |
| ChrisC35 | Daviey any suggestion to how I woudl test it in ubuntu? | 22:56 |
| Daviey | ChrisC35: what type of DVB is it? | 22:59 |
| Daviey | (i guess it is?) | 22:59 |
| ChrisC35 | i dont know\ | 23:00 |
| ChrisC35 | its a hvr-1600 by hauppauge | 23:00 |
| Daviey | You were asking about the v4l-dvb, so i assume it is DVB. | 23:00 |
| Daviey | Is it cable, aerial or satellite? | 23:01 |
| ChrisC35 | i just followed the suggestion of someone to install dirvers for it | 23:01 |
| ChrisC35 | cable | 23:01 |
| Daviey | OK! | 23:01 |
| Daviey | I'd use czap | 23:01 |
| ChrisC35 | and i installed http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/ | 23:01 |
| Daviey | I thought VLC had native support for DVB-C.. but don't know | 23:02 |
| Daviey | but google for --->czap mplayer<-- | 23:02 |
| Daviey | see if you get any joy, if not come back? ok? | 23:02 |
| ChrisC35 | trying to find it | 23:03 |
| * Daviey has never used DVB + Cable.. but do use DVB + aerial | 23:05 | |
| Daviey | apt-get install dvb-utils | 23:05 |
| ChrisC35 | is there another name for czap? | 23:05 |
| ChrisC35 | i cant seem to find it | 23:05 |
| Daviey | have a look in: /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-c/ for your provider? | 23:05 |
| ChrisC35 | i have no dvb-utils in /doc/ | 23:08 |
| Daviey | ooo, i just had a thought.. | 23:13 |
| Daviey | my US foo is weak | 23:13 |
| Daviey | Does your cable provider supplied box have firewire? | 23:13 |
| ChrisC35 | em.. | 23:17 |
| ChrisC35 | there is no supplied box - the cable comes out of the wall | 23:17 |
| Daviey | If you weren't using mythtv, how would you watch tv? | 23:18 |
| ChrisC35 | plug the coaxial cable into my tv set | 23:18 |
| Daviey | Ah.. | 23:18 |
| ChrisC35 | this is not digital btw | 23:18 |
| ChrisC35 | analog | 23:18 |
| Daviey | then you don't want DVB :) | 23:18 |
| ChrisC35 | oh ok | 23:18 |
| Daviey | Digital Video Broadcast :) | 23:18 |
| ChrisC35 | is that the driver i installed|? | 23:18 |
| Daviey | yus | 23:19 |
| ChrisC35 | the problem is I dont know much about what I"m doing, i just followed instructions from someone's suggestion | 23:19 |
| ChrisC35 | so what do you think i can do to get this 1600 to work with myth? | 23:19 |
| Daviey | well the hvr-1600 (just googled) is a Hybrid card | 23:20 |
| Daviey | so supports both digital and analogue. | 23:20 |
| ChrisC35 | that sounds positive | 23:20 |
| ChrisC35 | am I supposed to set mythtv to analogue somehow? | 23:21 |
| Daviey | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 | 23:22 |
| Daviey | interesting read... | 23:22 |
| ChrisC35 | yes i followed the installation guide on that page | 23:23 |
| ChrisC35 | Grab the latest v4l-dvb drivers from http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb, etc | 23:23 |
| Daviey | http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18 <--- | 23:24 |
| Daviey | do that ^ | 23:24 |
| Daviey | Hardy = 2.6.24, Intrepid = 2.6.26 (AFAIK).. it should work out of the box in the next release, but not hardy | 23:24 |
| ChrisC35 | hmm ya i just noticed that too - i will try it now | 23:25 |
| Daviey | Ie, it's not in the kernel yet | 23:25 |
| ChrisC35 | do you know is it possible to use my logitech wireless keyboard/mouse with mythbuntu? | 23:28 |
| Daviey | if it works in ubuntu... | 23:28 |
| Daviey | i'd guess yes | 23:28 |
| ChrisC35 | actually i think I already did this | 23:31 |
| ChrisC35 | i'll tyr again\ | 23:31 |
| ChrisC35 | how do I upn | 23:34 |
| ChrisC35 | how do I unpack a bz2? | 23:34 |
| ChrisC35 | i'm somewhat newbie to linux | 23:34 |
| ChrisC35 | i dl a file tip.tar.bz2 | 23:34 |
| ChrisC35 | ah i see the answer under stupic question #477 :) | 23:36 |
| ChrisC35 | stupid | 23:36 |
| abarbaccia | so when i use the default (vesa?) drivers, hdmi works, but when i switch to fglrx, it doesn't... any advice? | 23:56 |
