siwongood evening all00:31
siwoni just installed myth from the live cd on the HD00:31
siwonrebooted and all seems good, for what i know anyhow00:32
siwonbut how do i get it to network with my vista machines?00:33
siwonall my content is stored on windows machines right now00:33
rhpot1991siwon: you need to create shares using cifs00:46

deviantintegralwhat's the recommended way for dealing with multiple disc sets in mythvideo? Such as movies which are multiple dvd's, tv series, etc. What I would really like is one folder with the metadata for the series / movie, with options to choose the disc afterwards00:53
petriborghey - does anyone know why installing "mythbuntu-control-centere" would result in my startup image to change from Ubuntu to Mythbuntu?00:56
deviantintegralpetriborg: i'm guessing it' also installed mythbuntu-desktop01:05
petriborgyeah you're right i see that01:06
petriborgit doesn't seem to have actually installed anything, but had a whole bunch of things as depends01:07
petriborgmaybe mythbuntu-artwork-usplash?01:07
deviantintegralyep that's it01:08
deviantintegralusplash is the boot image i think01:08
petriborgi really think that should be removed from the requirements :(01:09
hadsIt will pull it in but you can remove it again.01:09
hadsYou can even do it through the control-centre I believe.01:09
petriborgcool01:09
petriborgi'll see if i can find that01:09
petriborgwhen you press the up/down keys on the keyboard it lets you serf the channel names - the names that appear are things like WTTGDT etc, is there some way I can change this so that it says like FOX or something like that?01:25
petriborg(while watching live tv)01:26
deviantintegralpetriborg: i think you can in the channel editor01:36
deviantintegralanyone here had problems with xfce where it loads each autostart entry many (like 50+) times?01:36
petriborgyeah i'm trying that now - i changed the channel name but that had no effect so i'm trying to modify the callsign now and see if that helps... hopefully that will not break something :-)01:36
petriborgmy mythtv front end seems to rebuild the cache files every time it starts for whatever reason, but i'm not sure what you mean by autostart entry :-)01:38
deviantintegralwhen you log in, it loads tray applets and such automatically01:40
deviantintegralfor example, the restricted driver manager is jockey-gtk01:40
deviantintegralwhen I log in, I get 100+ of that process01:40
petriborgwow suck01:40
petriborgis there some place that explains what the various plugins in mythbuntu do?02:10

levander<wagner> yes08:02
levander<wagner> i assume thats for descrete cards with spdif passthru08:02

MythbuntuGuest44Hey there, I'm trying to install mythbuntu. But I'm experiencing some major problems. Like no disk found while trying to install18:25
MythbuntuGuest44Neither can I find the hard-disk anywhere while in Live18:25
MythbuntuGuest44Can some (or at least one of you), please help me what I can do to install mythbuntu?18:26
sabhain<MythbuntuGuest44, have you checked the bios of the system to see if the hard disk is recognized.  This would seem to me to be a major hardware configuration or connection issue, rather than an ubuntu one.18:29
MythbuntuGuest44I have checked that indeed. The bios is detecting the hard disk.18:32
MythbuntuGuest44When I'm running a knoppix live-cd it is detected as well18:33
MythbuntuGuest44I even managed to repartition the hard drive to ext3, though that that was the problem18:40

craigyboytazhttp://www.ebuyer.com/product/14030419:48
craigyboytazjust incase :P19:48
tgm4883_laptopcraigyboytaz, do you plan on using firewire?19:50
craigyboytaznope, diskless frontend i do want it to do 1080p over hdmi...with audio hopefully19:50
tgm4883_laptophmm19:51
tgm4883_laptopwell both seem to be pretty compatible.  Note that you should check the processor compatibility.  they probably accept close to the same processors though19:52
tgm4883_laptopalso, one is atx, other is micro atx19:52
tgm4883_laptopso size preference19:52
craigyboytazthe amd one...i gave wrong link..correct link is http://www.ebuyer.com/product/14575219:53
craigyboytazsame board but matx19:53
craigyboytazsorry!19:53
craigyboytazto be sure i can do 1080p i would get a q6600 or a amd X4 for the other board19:53
craigyboytazalso my backend is a core2 celeron 1200, which should be more than enough for recording etc, and providing a HD stream19:54
craigyboytazbut it will be providing 64bit diskless images...shoud i stick with intel?19:55
tgm4883_laptoptough call, i'm more partial to asus, but also more partial to the intel core processors19:55
craigyboytazi know the q6600 should do 1080p easy, say about 20% usuage...id HOPE that the AMD can19:56
craigyboytazbut with AMD i get the newer graphics19:56
craigyboytazno reason a 64bit image built on intel wont work on AMD is there?19:58
tgm4883_laptopnope19:58
tgm4883_laptopcraigyboytaz, it's the hdmi i'm not so sure about19:58
jphillipI've heard reports of hdmi working on both nvidia and ati, but YMMV19:59
craigyboytazwhat about it?  the hdmi connection itself...or the chipset?19:59
jphillipprob pick a board and search around ont he chipset19:59
tgm4883_laptopyea the chipset20:00
craigyboytazpeople seem to have hdmi video working, and some now reporting audio...easier on nvvidia than ati i think20:00
craigyboytazis their any advantage of the 8200 over a 7100 for 1080p mythtv....i just need a fast enough processor??20:07
MythbuntuGuest44Hmm, anyone come up with my installation problem? The hard disk is not recognised during installation. Although it is recognised by the bios and other live-distributions20:11
craigyboytazthink it sis something to do with the BIOS AHCI setting20:13
jphillipMythbuntuGuest44 did you try the alternate installer?20:13
MythbuntuGuest44no, I'm downloading that right now20:13
sabhaincraigyboytaz, you've found evidence that people are getting audio out through HDMI in linux?20:14
craigyboytazi just read some errors about it, check the SATA bios settings for that setting20:14
craigyboytazsabhain, yes i did earlier today...cant find it now...hold on maybe it was on the myth wiki20:15
MythbuntuGuest44well its a IDE disk so the SATA bios setting should not matter right?20:15
craigyboytazMythbuntuGuest44, true20:15
craigyboytazsabhain, you got a hdmi mobo to try something for me?20:17
craigyboytazsabhain, disbale the 8 ch onboard auio in the bios20:19
MythbuntuGuest44What is the difference between the normal ande the alternate iso's20:19
MythbuntuGuest44I mean what is the difference, in the way that the disk will (maybe) be recognised with the alternate20:20
darthanubishttp://www.linux.com/feature/13803320:20
sabhaincraigyboytaz .. I can try that tonight I think .. I do have an HDMI mobo on one of my front ends.  It's an MSI-P6NGM or something .. Intel w/ nvidia GeForce 7100 .. works pretty well.20:23
sabhaindoes the 8ch onboard audo force the audio through HDMI or something?20:23
sabhainbtw, my MB has the realtek ALC888 audio processor20:23
craigyboytazsabhain, DISABLE the 8ch audio20:24
craigyboytazhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MSI_Media_Live20:24
craigyboytazsabhain, audio out in that link20:25
craigyboytazsabhain, diff hardware i know...but it works for that20:26
craigyboytazsabhain, what cpu do you have? will it do 1080p? @ what cpu usage?20:27
sabhaincraigyboytaz, I have a core 2 duo 2.0 GHZ w/ 2GB ram on a diskless like setup, and it does HD / 1080P fine, I think usage is low like 30% or so .. I'll look into it at home later20:40
craigyboytazsabhain, thanks gong for a 7100 setup like you, might not need the quad then...just a fastish duo like you20:41
craigyboytazdid you read that link i sent?20:42
sabhainthat link is incredible .. I had pretty much decided it would be 6 months or so before trying the hdmi audio again.20:43
craigyboytazhope it works for you mate!  can you post on the forums if it does when you get round to trying it?20:44
sabhainI built my front ends for a little bit less than that link, but they're similar in configuration.  Went with intel dual core, a 2GB CF-IDE adapter for a boot disk, and the MSI board .. then I NFS mount everything else in the boot .. and off it goes20:45
sabhainI will certainly do that when I try it ..20:45
sabhainI'll post it either way ..20:46
craigyboytazand your rig can do 1080p at a canter?20:46
sabhainseems like it .. I've got no stutter or frame drops whatsoever .. every once in a while I have to futz with the audio sync, but I'm not convinced the problem isn't the cable company20:47
sabhainmy big battle with this particular front  end (my other is DVI) is that LIRC and / or the Snapstream RF remote suck20:48
craigyboytaztried any x264 movies?20:48
sebrock_where can I find 7.10?20:49
sabhainLIRC fails on boot, with no descriptive errors .. and then if you do a restart lirc it works fine, but irexec will fail randomly so if the front end checks out for whatever reason, you have to hook a mouse up to restart it20:49
sebrock_8.04 is too unstable in my opinion20:49
sabhainI haven't tried any x264 movies yet .. just a few samples .. waiting on blue-ray to drop a little bit20:49
sebrock_mirror for 7.10 anyone?20:50
sabhainand on my remote problems, I'm going to move to a harmony 550 shortly.  My other front end uses an MCE remote, and I have none of these issues in that system20:50
craigyboytazthanks mate, im off to watch the second half...might just go with quad to be safe!20:51
