[00:02] <tgm4883_laptop> pretender_, pastebin your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[00:10] <pretender_> Whats paste pastebin? bringing up the log now
[00:19] <rhpot1991> !pastbin | pretender_
[00:19] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about pastbin
[00:20] <rhpot1991> !pastebin | pretender_
[00:20] <Zinn> pretender_: Please use paste.ubuntu.com for all configs or multiple line output, pastebin is preferred for large amounts of output as it cuts down on spamming multiple lines.
[00:22] <pretender_> i have pasted the log as advised
[00:22] <rhpot1991> now paste the url to it in here so tgm4883_laptop can see it
[00:23] <pretender_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25291/
[00:23] <pretender_> thanks
[00:24] <tgm4883_laptop> wow
[00:24] <tgm4883_laptop> so, how many steps of mythtv-setup did you do?  one?....two at the most?
[00:25] <pretender_> i used mythbuntu then ran through all the menues in mythtv-setup
[00:26] <tgm4883_laptop> except the ones where you link the card to some channel guide?
[00:26] <tgm4883_laptop> and / isn't a suitable place for recordings
[00:27] <tgm4883_laptop> well first things first
[00:27] <tgm4883_laptop> go back into mythtv-setup, and set a recording directory that can be written to
[00:28] <tgm4883_laptop> like /mythtv
[00:28] <tgm4883_laptop> then make it writable by mythtv:mythtv
[00:28] <tgm4883_laptop> and 775 it
[00:28] <tgm4883_laptop> then make sure you have a channel lineup in step 3 of mythtv-setup
[00:28] <tgm4883_laptop> and have linked it to a card in step 4
[00:31] <pretender_> i know / isn't good how can i delete that location i can only see add as an option not delete
[00:32] <tgm4883_laptop> select it and hit d
[00:33] <pretender_> thanks ill try do as advised and come back to the irc later if i'm still having trouble
[01:32] <bmathis> hello
[01:33] <bmathis> does anyone have a recommendation on a cheap machine for backend and frontend... maybe barebones or a full desktop?
[01:35] <bmathis> maybe a cheap machine for  just a front end?
[02:02] <stoneymonster> trying to do a second debuild after pulling the source with apt-get source mythtv fails, even after "debuild clean" any suggestions? I don't want to redo all my patches...
[02:35] <stoneymonster> had to remove the symlnk in programs/firewire-tester
[02:35] <stoneymonster> debuild clean didn't do that
[03:46] <harmony32641> Hi all,
[03:46] <harmony32641> I have a new pcHdtv5500 tuner that seems to be working during the channel scan
[03:46] <harmony32641> but when i choose "watch tv," it just returns to the menu
[03:46] <harmony32641> and I don't see any telling error messages in either the frontend or the backend logs.
[03:46] <harmony32641> What should I be looking for to get this working?
[03:47] <harmony32641> Thanks.
[03:51] <tgm4883_laptop> harmony32641, please pastebin your backend log
[03:52] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  should i restart the frontend, backend or both, and/or try to "watch tv" before copying the log?
[03:53] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[03:53] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll have you do that if I don't see anything
[03:53] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  ok, thanks, just a sec...
[03:58] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  that's me on the other computer.  hmm...  ps shows the backend running but the log is empty!
[03:58] <tgm4883_laptop> /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log is empty?
[03:58] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: was the old bot slow when it got bugs, or was it snappy?
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, depending on the load, it was relatively snappy
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> until the end, when it was hours later
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> but usually we got bug reports in < 10 minutes
[03:59] <rhpot1991> LP is just slow in general with them
[03:59] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  yes, completely empty (never saw that before).  this is a secondary backend/frontend.
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> what backend is your 5500 on?
[04:00] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  this one, not the master.
[04:01] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[04:01] <tgm4883_laptop> pastebin your master backend log
[04:02] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: it takes back about as long as it does to look up a bug via http
[04:03] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, test?
[04:03] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: don't have it on him yet, I'll move it over in a bit, gonna go watch some TV first
[04:03] <tgm4883_laptop> k
[04:03] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll probably be watching vantage point later
[04:04] <rhpot1991> still waiting for netflix to get me that
[04:04] <rhpot1991> just gonna watch some recordings
[04:07] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  my first pastebin, did that work?
[04:14] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  my master backend also has a tuner that isn't working, a hvr950 usb stick.
[04:14] <harmony32641> it was working fine for a few weeks but now it's the same as the 5500:  just returns to the menu.
[04:27] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  should i restart the master backend?
[04:27] <harmony32641> it seems like that log is mostly looping on a free space scan.
[04:27] <harmony32641> or should I dig around in the older logs and pastebin something from there?
[04:38] <tgm4883_laptop> harmony3264, what first pastebin?
[04:38] <tgm4883_laptop> you have to post the link for us ;)
[04:40] <harmony32641>  tgm4883_laptop:  as i said:  my first pastebin.  let me see if i can find its link...
[04:41] <harmony64322> tgm4883_laptop:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25329/
[04:41] <harmony64322> is that it?
[04:41] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[04:41] <tgm4883_laptop> is that from the master backend?
[04:42] <harmony64322> i meant "first ever"
[04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, do this
[04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> restart the backend, then try watching something, then pastebin your backend log
[04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> hopefully we will get something important
[04:43] <harmony64322> ﻿ tgm4883_laptop:  start watching on the remote frontend or on the backend, or do you care?
[04:43] <tgm4883_laptop> don't care
[04:45] <harmony64322> ﻿ tgm4883_laptop:  nice!  maybe we'll get them both fixed!
[04:48] <harmony64322> ﻿tgm4883_laptop:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25329/
[04:49] <harmony64322> ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:  oops, here's the new one:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25347/
[04:50] <harmony64322> ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:  how about this:
[04:50] <harmony64322> 2008-07-05 23:45:46.834 DVBChan(4:0) Error: Opening DVB frontend device failed. 			eno: No such file or directory (2) ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database. Perhaps you should read the installation instructions?
[04:51] <tgm4883_laptop> yea that looks bad
[04:52] <tgm4883_laptop> did you run through all the mythtv-setup steps?
[04:53] <harmony64322> ﻿ ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:   yes, and this tuner was working (as you can see in the log there's like 300 hours of recordings i got before it quit).
[04:53] <tgm4883_laptop> what changed?
[04:53] <tgm4883_laptop> and which tuner is this?
[04:54] <harmony64322> i'm not sure if it's related but it quit about the same time as i had another problem:
[04:54] <harmony64322> i ran out of hd space and due to a permissions problem, it was unable to delete old recordings to make room.
[04:54] <harmony64322> ﻿ ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:   this is the hvr950 usb stick.
[04:55] <harmony64322> ﻿ ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:   other than that, i don't know of anything that changed.
[04:56] <tgm4883_laptop> doesn't sound related, try deleting the tuner and readding it.  I'm gotta go watch a movie but will be back later.  Also, check your permissions on your recording dir and make sure it isn't in your home dir
[04:56] <harmony64322> ﻿ ﻿﻿tgm4883_laptop:   ok, thanks a lot!
[05:03] <pretender> cant watch live tv on fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 and mythbuntu.  backend looks fine but when start mythfront end from cli i get the error live tv not started http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25352/

[07:41] <harmony3264> tgm4883_laptop:
[07:41] <harmony3264> Ok, i deleted all capture cards on my master backend,
[07:41] <harmony3264>    then tried to re-add but now the WIN_HVR_950 is not recognized:
[07:41] <harmony3264> Capture Card Setup
[07:41] <harmony3264>    Card type:  DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)
[07:41] <harmony3264>    Frontend ID:
[07:41] <harmony3264>       Could not get card info for card #0 Subtype:  Unknown error
[07:41] <harmony3264> I originally followed the directions from post #53 here:
[07:41] <harmony3264>    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740473&page=6#post5221175
[07:41] <harmony3264> and as it said, I rebooted and it was recognized in mythtv-setup as
[07:41] <harmony3264>  DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)
[07:41] <harmony3264> but he doesn't say what the module's name is
[07:41] <harmony3264> and I can't tell what it is from looking inside the make file.
[07:41] <harmony3264> I'm considering starting over with these directions:
[07:41] <harmony3264> http://u32.net/MythTV/WinTV-HVR-950/
[07:41] <harmony3264> or would that mess something up, or just be repetitious?
[07:41] <harmony3264> btw, my recordings dir is under my home dir
[07:41] <harmony3264> because I've mounted a raid there (Data) for them
[07:41] <harmony3264> but i think it's ok because it was recording there fine
[07:41] <harmony3264> when the tuner's module would load.
[07:41] <harmony3264>  ls -l Data/mythtv
[07:41] <harmony3264> drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 16384 2008-07-06 02:24 recordings
[08:08] <harmony3264> ﻿ tgm4883_laptop:   I'm going to get something to eat but I will check back here.
[08:08] <harmony3264> Thanks again!
[08:23] <harmony32641> ﻿ tgm4883_laptop:   actually i just had to restart x on that machine.
[08:23] <harmony32641> I'll still check back in a while...
[08:28] <tgm4883_laptop> harmony32641, IIRC you have to rebuild that every time there is a kernel upgrade
[08:38] <harmony32641> ﻿ tgm4883_laptop:  yeah, a pain huh.
[08:38] <harmony32641> but I built it on 2.6.24-19 and I just checked that my kernel is still the same.
[08:58] <jeffery> when I exit out of mythtv-setup, it says "Path live/ doesn't exist." ... where should I create the path?
[12:09] <XLV> i just installed mythbuntu, now i want it to have same desktop theme, menu/panel items etc as ubuntu, i have already installed ubuntu-desktop, can it be done?
[12:34] <laga> XLV: log out, choose gnome as your session in gdm, log back in
[12:39] <XLV> laga, thanks, i am using vnc to control htpc, cause its on a crt tv atm with svideo tvout at 1024x768, and its annoying to try to do any maintenance on it using the crt tv as display, so i couldnt see that mythbuntu offered there the option for WM
[13:16] <noisymime> If anyone would like to try out a new experimental myth frontend, gloss 0.1 has just been released, including packages for 8.04. Testing/feedback greatly appreciated.
[13:17] <laga> noisymime: great stuff. can't try it right now, though, my backend is offline
[13:54] <Aquahallic> Mornin' folks
[14:06] <XLV> mythbuntu comes with threaded fddshow included?
[14:06] <XLV> or i should try to install coreavc for linux?
[14:07] <laga> ffdshow? isn't that windows stuff? ;)
[14:07] <laga> mythtv in mythbuntu 8.04 can do multithreading for certain content
[14:08] <XLV> my bad, i meant ffmpeg or whatever its called ;-)
[14:36] <Aquahallic> mythtv comes with ffmpeg but it doesn't come with the restricted. You have to enable the medibuntu repositories to get the restricted drivers.
[14:38] <laga> the internal player in mythtv does not care about the ffmpeg packages
[14:59] <gpd> So I installed ubuntu hardy, then apt-get installed mythbuntu-desktop.
[15:00] <gpd> now i have a working system - but the mythconverg tables and mythtv user are not in the mysql
[15:00] <gpd> mythtv-setup doesn't want to do that stage - do i create by hand - or is there a reconfigure i should do?
[15:15] <gpd> probably because I set a root password for mysql?
[15:16] <laga> gpd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[15:17] <gpd> laga: fantastic - thank you! :)
[15:18] <laga> gpd: kudos for not forgetting your root password for mysql. :)
[18:32] <Frans-Willem> Has anyone every attempted to get the MythBuntu diskless client to login via LDAP and share the home dir from the server ?
[18:34] <laga> not me.
[18:34] <laga> i'd be interested in that, tho
[18:38] <laga> Frans-Willem: you don't even need ldap if you just want the home dir
[18:50] <Frans-Willem> Well, I've considered just mounting the entire homedir or even just /home/mainuser, but I feel LDAP would be nicer :p
[18:52] <laga> i wasn't aware LDAP had special file sharing powers
[18:53] <Frans-Willem> Well, I'm not that sure about LDAP, but I'm afraid that things might get ugly if the credentials on the client and the server don't match
[18:53] <laga> no, LDAP doesnt seem to be able to transfer real files. or at least let you mount directories
[18:53] <laga> .. over the network
[18:54] <Frans-Willem> So how would you do it then? simply share /home read-write and mount it on the clients ?
[18:54] <foxbuntu> laga, no but LDAP will allow you to create a home dir or at least universal creds to prevent issues when creating mount points
[18:55] <laga> foxbuntu: what would be issues? different UID/GID on server and client?
[18:56] <laga> Frans-Willem: yes, assuming the UIDs match. nfs-kernel-server doesn't really have any fancy UID mapping :( but that might have changed with nfs version 4
[18:56] <foxbuntu> yeah...for the most part it wouldnt matter, the permissions just have to be matched up, it only becomes an issue with a large environment
[18:57] <Frans-Willem> So would it be safe to just share /home ?
[18:58] <Frans-Willem> Or would it be better to mount /home to something like /var/cache/mythbuntu-diskless/clienthome ?
[18:58] <Frans-Willem> (Although that would make it complicated if your main box is supposed to be a frontend too
[18:59] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, why are you trying to share /home?
[18:59] <Frans-Willem> foxbuntu: Because things like video covers are by default shared in the homedir
[19:00] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, create a shared location and symlink to it from the default location?
[19:00] <foxbuntu> that would be much safer
[19:01] <Frans-Willem> Hmmmz...
[19:01] <Frans-Willem> That *is* a nice solution indeed :)
[19:01] <Frans-Willem> Hadn't thought of that yet
[19:03] <Frans-Willem> so like creating /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers and "ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo" on the server and "mainip:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo nfs ..." in the fstab of the clients ?
[19:04] <foxbuntu> no
[19:04] <Frans-Willem> ?
[19:04] <foxbuntu> not far off
[19:05] <foxbuntu> you want the /home location to think its a folder when it really is a symlink to the nfs location
[19:05] <foxbuntu> so the symlink is actually on the clients
[19:06] <foxbuntu> the directory is on the server
[19:06] <foxbuntu> and the clients nfs mount to the server's shared directory
[19:06] <foxbuntu> so:
[19:07] <foxbuntu> On Server1: /var/lib/mythtv/SharedFolder1
[19:07] <foxbuntu> On Client1: nfs mount /somedir/
[19:07] <foxbuntu> (which is the server location then)
[19:08] <Frans-Willem> Ok, so to recap, on the server:
[19:08] <foxbuntu> then On Client1: ln -s /home/someuser/.mythtv/MythVideo /somedir/
[19:09] <Frans-Willem> How is that different to simply mounting /home/someuser/.mythtv/MythVideo to a network share ?
[19:09] <foxbuntu> because you dont want your server writing to the /home directory
[19:09] <foxbuntu> permissions would get all screwed up to make it work
[19:10] <foxbuntu> you want the server writing to a local spot that is shared to the clients and then if you want to use that default location symlink to it to maintain security
[19:11] <Frans-Willem> Hmmm, just to be sure we're both on the same page
[19:11] <Frans-Willem> what's the difference between (on the client) doing either:
[19:11] <Frans-Willem> mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo
[19:11] <Frans-Willem> and
[19:12] <Frans-Willem> mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers
[19:12] <Frans-Willem> ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo
[19:12] <Frans-Willem> Isn't the second doing exactly the same as the former but with one extra redirection ?
[19:14] <foxbuntu> Im sorry I was misunderstanding what you were trying to accomplish before
[19:14] <foxbuntu> it sounded like you wanted to share /home and mount it on the server or other clients and write to the clients
[19:14] <laga> !spork foxbuntu
[19:14] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about spork foxbuntu
[19:14] <foxbuntu> !stab laga
[19:14]  * Zinn stabs laga with a rusty spork.
[19:14] <laga> ah, thanks.
[19:17] <Frans-Willem> heh :p
[19:18] <Frans-Willem> foxbuntu: Yes, that was one of my possible solutions
[19:18] <Frans-Willem> I was thinking about:
[19:19] <Frans-Willem> - Either creating a shared dir (safest, but requires me to create a seperate dir for every shared thing)
[19:19] <Frans-Willem> - Sharing /home on the server and mounting that on the clients (credentials fuckup, probably)
[19:20] <Frans-Willem> - Sharing a random dir (like /var/lib/mythtv/clienthome) and mounting that to /home on the clients (clients have same credentials, so less of a fuckup, but doesn't allow the server to be a frontend too)
[19:20] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, you have your ideas, my only advice is to stay away from sharing /home
[19:21] <Frans-Willem> But that third solution looks safe too ?
[19:24] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, yeah...it wouldnt be an issue
[19:25] <Frans-Willem> K :)
[19:30] <Frans-Willem> So who else is actually using the diskless setup ?
[19:30] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, you are the only one
[19:30] <foxbuntu> ;)
[19:31] <Frans-Willem> Ok, so let's say that I write down everything I did to make my config useful (e.g. shared media, everything working correctly), who should I send it to for review and possible inclusion in MythBuntu ?
[19:33] <foxbuntu> Frans-Willem, put it in a Wiki
[19:34] <laga> i wish i used the diskless tuff
[19:35] <laga> +s
[19:35] <foxbuntu> laga, that funny considering its your baby
[19:36] <laga> yeah
[19:36] <laga> :)
[19:36] <laga> i'm kinda glad it's so.. complete. all the functionality is there, and most stuff i'd consider adding is minor hacks to MCC
[19:37] <foxbuntu> laga, its really grown pretty quickly
[19:39] <Frans-Willem> It's just great being able to put the main box outside of the living room, and simply have a completely passive box in the living room :)
[19:41] <Frans-Willem> It's quite good actually, but there are quite a bit of things that I feel should've been in there by default
[19:41] <Frans-Willem> e.g. the mounting of the videos, music, and pictures dir
[19:42] <laga> yes
[19:42] <laga> but you need lots of magic to do that.
[19:42] <laga> maybe using bonjour..
[19:42] <Frans-Willem> :/
[19:42] <Frans-Willem> Hell no :/
[19:42] <laga> it's kinda there. you can tell mythbuntu to export your stuff in MCC
[19:42] <laga> but i'm not sure if mounting is automagic
[19:43] <Frans-Willem> For mounting you need to add some lines to the fstab of the diskless one, and fix the lts.conf file to not rewrite it on each boot
[19:43] <laga> such things - shares etc could probably be put into the mysql DB. but you probably dont want to depend on that.
[19:43] <laga> for mythtv itself, there'll probably be support for just streaming media using the mythtv protocol
[19:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> the recordings dir and stuff get shared automagically IIRC
[19:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> via samba
[19:44] <laga> rhpot1991_laptop: you need to enable it first
[19:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> only works if you use the defualt as well
[19:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> its really not that hard to do that yourself either :)
[19:44] <Frans-Willem> Hmm, I've got all dirs shared through samba and NFS, yet my diskless clients didn't mount it
[19:45] <rhpot1991_laptop> Frans-Willem: You need to setup your client to mount them
[19:45] <laga> rhpot1991_laptop: i meant to make it more dynamic by getting the location for the various directories from the DB, but i'm not sure if that happened.
[19:46] <Frans-Willem> rhpot1991_laptop: Are we talking about the Live CD or the Diskless setup? and if we're talking about the diskless setup, how did you set it up then ?
[19:46]  * rhpot1991_laptop searches for a good wiki entry to describe the process
[19:46] <Frans-Willem> I basically just adjusted fstab myself
[19:47] <laga> rhpot1991_laptop: i think he already knows how to setup fstab
[19:47] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah ok
[19:47] <Frans-Willem> :)
[19:48] <Frans-Willem> Oh btw, did you also have to adjust lts.conf and add that extra "[default]" line ?
[19:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> mine isn't diskless, just another backend, all I did was added the shares to fstab myself
[19:48] <Frans-Willem> Ah ok
[19:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> I don't use default shares either so I had to go and create them and all
[19:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> s/shares/folders/
[19:49] <laga> Frans-Willem: the [default] thing is a known bug, i just never got around to fixing it..
[19:49] <Frans-Willem> Yeah, that's basically what I did, but on top of that I also had to add a line to lts.conf as that was missing and causing LTSP to syntax error and ignore the directive not to overwrite fstab
[19:49] <laga> which is a shame ;)
[19:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> laga: I wonder if you could mysql all that and have clients/backends/etc read that upon install from the master backend
[19:50] <laga> rhpot1991_laptop: yeah, and if the mysqld is down? ;)
[19:50] <rhpot1991_laptop> epic failure
[19:51] <laga> heh
[19:51] <laga> indeed
[19:51] <Frans-Willem> If the mysqld is down the whole backend is prolly down in which case your diskless client shouldn't be booting anyway :p
[19:51] <laga> Frans-Willem: wanna bet?
[19:51] <laga> ;)
[19:51] <laga> go to MCC, make a bootable thumb drive, check the "wake on lan" option, enter MAC address. done
[19:52] <laga> although i have to admit i never really tested it ;)
[19:53] <Frans-Willem> heh :p
[19:54] <Frans-Willem> Btw, has anyone ever attempted making a mythbuntu backend without an actual videocard ?
[19:54] <Frans-Willem> Like have X run in VNC mode only ?
[20:49] <m_tadeu> hi everyone
[20:50] <m_tadeu> is there a way to display the mouse cursor?
[20:58] <m_tadeu> think I got it :)
[21:17] <laga> Frans-Willem: i'd probably use X tunneling in ssh
[21:21] <Frans-Willem> laga: I use a Windows machine as my main desktop ;)
[21:21] <rhpot1991_laptop> Frans-Willem: you can still forward X to that, its a bit of a pain though
[21:21] <rhpot1991_laptop> have to get cygwin running to forward apps to
[21:22] <Frans-Willem> Yeah, I've already looked at it before, and figured it'd be easier to just stick to VNC :p
[21:22] <rhpot1991_laptop> agreed
[21:40] <talmagec> Can anyone help me with mythtv setup?
[21:41] <talmagec> I have a Hauppauge winTV card and I built the device driver, tried to set up in backend, but all I get is a green screen when I try to watch tv.  Everything works fine in windows, so nothing wrong with cable source, etc.
[21:50] <laga> you built the device driver?
[21:52] <talmagec> yes
[21:52] <talmagec> i think its configuration of backend
[21:52] <talmagec> not sure
[21:53] <talmagec> i did the aptitude install mercurial build-essential linux-source, then cd /usr/local/src and then hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb followed by make & make install
[21:54] <laga> does it work in other applications?
[21:55] <talmagec> i have only tried in windows
[21:55] <talmagec> i haven't tried to get it to work in linux except in mythtv
[21:55] <talmagec> i'm thinking it has something to do with backend setup
[21:55] <laga> why did you build the v4l-dvb drivers from hg?
[21:56] <Frans-Willem> My Hauppauge WinTV 500MCE was pretty much plug and play, why would you want to build it from source :p?
[21:56] <laga> anyways, i recommend trying it in another application first, like xawtv or mplayer
[21:57] <talmagec> i was reading directions from linux magazine
[21:58] <talmagec> installing xawtv now
[21:59] <talmagec> i'm going to reboot and brb
[22:02] <talmagec> i cant get xawtv to even start
[22:10] <talmagec> no luck in motv either.
[22:11] <talmagec> i'm in the USA using cable (no box), so i assume my settings are:  NTSC-M, us-cable
[22:11] <talmagec> is that right?
[22:37] <bmathis> hello
[22:38] <bmathis> does anyone have a good walkthrough of setting up the remote that comes with a hauppauge pvr-150? I cant seem to get it to work, even with the mcc.
