[00:15] looking for advice regarding jitter, I have the backend running on a powerful enough system and all is well there however I get a lot of jitter when streaming tv to my frontend [00:16] This happens with both livetv and recorded tv [00:17] videos (mpeg files, etc) play fine from the backend, I'm guessing this is because it's not so much as stream or that more is being cached in the transfer [00:19] frontend is a low end system (apple tv) however in general it's powerfull enough to run high def video files out to my display (42 inch LCD) through component [00:20] is there something I can do to improve caching or somthing, the jitter is very regular (every 3 secs or so for a second) [00:20] wifi? [00:20] wired [00:20] 100mb [00:21] both SD and HD videos have the problem? [00:21] yes [00:21] anything in the logs when you try to play them? [00:21] can you advise as for logs I should look to please [00:21] and what happens if you copy a file to the appletv and try and play it from there? [00:22] I have copied avi files and they play great [00:22] but not nuvs [00:22] !logs | madar [00:22] madar: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ [00:23] cheers, I'll go take a look right now [00:26] I'd copy a recording over and see how it plays locally as well [00:26] take some variables out of the equation [00:30] odd I don't have a /var/log/mythtv/ [00:31] on the client anyway [00:33] okay so log is on backend machine, fine here we go... [00:36] nothing new in the frontend log (some errors but all prior to starting the file today) backend long is error free. I'm going to copy the file and try playing it directly now [00:42] okay lazy question, by default where will tv recordings go, I'm not finding them [00:45] or more to the point shouldn't I be able to find them by looking for *.nuv [00:54] they may be mpg [00:55] /var/lib/mythtv/recordings is the default dir [01:02] only copying over now [01:02] thanks [01:19] okay well this is odd, the file plays great locally on the backend that recorded it however vlc stutter terribly with it on the client as well with it on my regular work station, it's like it gets corrupted in transfer almost. Checking file sizes now, perhaps I should do a checksum and transfer again... [01:40] could some one tell me what does this log mean? http://pastebin.com/d3e5f464f [01:43] okay so I checked the files md5sum tells me the files are exact copies, so I investigate further. On the client mplayer plays smoothly but sound is significately out of sync (no stutter though). So I installed Kaffine (xine) and it plays perfectly on the client [01:43] so I'm thinking the stutter isn't a file problem something else [01:44] what is the default engine for playback in mythbuntu he thinks aloud... [01:48] xvmc and now I see the problem [01:49] from the install tutorial it tells me that this is an issue requiring the underclocking of the gpu... Drrrrhttp://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/UpdateNvidiaDriver [02:06] Hi there, I'm looking to get a Front-End up 'n running I started with Ubuntu 8.04 uptadted installed mythbuntu by clicking on this page's link I now have an icon with MythTV frontend but it is not launching the application. any suggestions? [02:06] I have an intel g35 chipset based mb (asus p5evm-hdmi) and ive connected it to my lcd, but i cant get it to work at my tvs native res 1366x768. I've added this to xorg.conf but when i start gnome it goes to 1280x720 (which doesnt display properly). If I use the vga (rather than hdmi) port it works correctly though, any ideas? [02:11] MythbuntuGuest24 did u go into the backend setup? [02:13] hey swuish102! [02:13] yes I went into the setup in the front end, it asked me for the backend adrress and port [02:15] I entered the netwok Ip to the backend ( 192.168.0.115) in this case, and 6543 as the port [02:16] MythbuntuGuest24, try starting it from the terminal and see what error messages there are [02:17] ok, just go mythtv in the terminal? [02:19] mythfrontend i think [02:22] TGM... this is what I get when I type mythtv in the terminal ::: [02:22] 2008-07-14 18:19:48.106 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib [02:23] ?^?^?^?^?^ 'ill paste it line by line [02:24] 2008-07-14 18:19:48.113 XScreenSaver support enabled [02:24] 2008-07-14 18:19:48.113 DPMS is active.

I'm going to head out for an hour should get right back I hope you are around then. thanks again guys [03:01] hey all [03:02] does mythweb_session is that suppose to be a table in mysql? [03:05] I am having trouble watching TV in mythTV I am using the open-source drivers for the ATI radeon mobile M5 x1300 === superm1 is now known as superm2 === superm2 is now known as superm3 [06:50] Can anyone help, I want to use my usb device with MythTV and have no idea how [07:31] hi I have a problem trying to enable DRI for some reason it seems it is loaded in the Xorg.0.log as all looks good and I get messages indicating it is loaded and working but then when I run glxinfo it is reported that direct rendering is not on any ideas? === superm3 is now known as superm1 [09:05] anyone here using a ms mce keyboard? [14:14] re [15:13] Uploading to mythbuntu-trunk-0.22-ppa (via ftp to ppa.launchpad.net) [15:13] trunk builds should show up in a few hours :) [15:17] i haven't updated the theme packages yet so you will have to use a core theme. and for the love of god, don't use these builds unless you know what you're doing [16:44] hmm 8.04.1 is just bug fixes? [16:44] whoDat_, yep [16:45] bug fixes and updated packages [16:45] nothing you can't get from a apt-get upgrade [16:45] kinda afraid to do an upgrade.. everything is working great right now [16:46] whoDat_ so what are you running? [16:46] 8.04 [16:47] ok, im still on 7.x ubuntu and too scared to go to 8 [16:47] i recently switched from knopmyth and like mythbuntu much better, except knoppmyth had a nice backup feature from the myth menu [16:48] squish: in your case i would prolly buy another hard drive and install 8.04 on that ;) [16:49] i was hoping to find some success stories here, before i screw up a perfectly working implementation :( [16:49] with 8.04? it works great for me [16:49] backups? [16:49] laga: yeah thats where if it screws up, you have something to go back too ;) [16:50] backups? i always seem to live life on the edge [16:50] yeah, especially if it's your master's thesis or something like that ;) [16:51] well being a fool that i am, all imprtant docs r on google apps [16:59] just backup your mysql and learn to live without the recordings that are lost [16:59] unless you have some huge amount of hard drive space [17:01] heh [17:46] anyone here [17:47] they're all gone [17:47] i see [17:47] well i mess up my sql database [17:48] any way too restore it to stock [17:53] anyone here using a microsoft mce keyboard? [18:03] hi, i bought a hauppauge hvr-4000 and installed it with multifrontend drivers (as seen in http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000) so the driver whent well and the kernel output shows what it should, but somehow i cant manage to connect to the dvb-t frontend although i got "scan" to find channels ... thanks [18:08] thedarkone sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [18:08] thank jphillip [18:16] so for a start i'm trying to get a picture in mplayer, but due to lack of experience in the dvbt area i'cant get it to connect to /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 where the dvb-t adapter should be any help? [18:17] np thedarkone [18:24] ok, rtfm ... :( mythtv doesnt handle multiple frontends ... some ln -s to a different adapters should do the job [18:32] so, i got that far, configured the dvb-t card in mythbackend, scaned for the channels, that workd, linked it to epg input but when i start the tv in mythtv i get this in the kernel output: mythfrontend.re[12530]: segfault at 3d4 ip 7f41a1cf9d51 sp 4425b360 error 4 in ld-2.7.so[7f41a1ce6000+1d000] help! , please [19:34] I'm getting a upnp not foudn error when I try to enter setup. I put in my (correct) user/pass and it tells me it cannot log into server? and loops. Does anyone know what's wrong? [19:58] anyone using mythbuntu on a 486? [20:00] I have an old 486SX that I could use for mythbuntu, but the kernel crashes at install saying there is no math coprocessor....I can compile kernel to have math emulation on, but then how do I get it on the box with the rest of the mythbuntu stuff [20:02] prob not worth your time and efforts [20:03] lol [20:05] probably right....I really just want to put linux on it...I keep running into this same install problem...so I am wondering if I can build the fs somewhere else, then copy it to the little guy using dd or something and have it work....My guess is that only ubuntu or such has a generic enough kernel to really handle the move from a DualCore 2.2 to a 486SX...LOL any ideas? [20:07] might have to build the kernel yourself [20:07] The main reason I am doing this is because I found this really cheap SOC board that is a RISC pretending to be a 486 with no math coproc. It runs at 400MHz/ pc104 ... Sweet. I just happen to have this old 486 to test with first [20:08] yes..I will have to build the kernel, do you think the build on one machine, transfer to another will work? [20:08] even though the processors are so different? [20:28] !help [20:28] Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [20:40] hi, i'm running into issues with the wythweb flv stopping after a few seconds of playback, probably due to ffmpeg not being fast enough. this is in turn probably because my cpu is a celeron 433mhz. short of getting faster hardware, is there anything i can do to optimize ffmpeg performance? i just installed ffmpeg from myth-control-center, so perhaps i could get better performance compiling it myself? any advice appreciated. [20:45] sohocoke get better hardware :) [20:46] you could in theory create the flv's ahead of time with a user job [20:53] jphillip: can i do that for all scheduled recordings? [21:00] is anyone here using a microsoft mce keyboard with the current mythbuntu? [21:23] hello. does anyone have a working lirc with serial remote (mythbuntu 8.04)? [21:28] sohocoke you can make a user job run on recordings when they finish [21:28] doesn't have to be on all either, can be on individual ones [21:39] it'd be nice if i could make a recording automatically transcode to flv when it finishes.. but how painful is the config?! [21:43] ideally you could find the code for ffmpeg in mythweb, and just put that into a user job and use that === ophiuchus is now known as lupi [22:26] sohocoke: Don't know about the mythtv job but something like `ffmpeg -i $INFILE -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 $OUTFILE` should do that [22:26] You'll need to make sure your ffmpeg has flv support [22:27] Also reading further up the scrollback, you'd have to hack mythweb to support pre-encoded streaming files I belive. [22:31] so what should i do a burn-in test with my new box? [22:41] do I have to do anything special to make sure mytharchive uses my cutlist if I select it? it's always failed in the past [23:13] I'd like to upgrade my FFmpeg install to the current SVN version- does anyone test the different myth parts with newer versions? [23:15] Hallo allerseits.... [23:17] Ich habe mythbuntu ganz neu auf der Kiste drauf. Aber irgendwie hat der Sendersuchlauf nicht richtig gefunzt. Könnte mir da mal jemand freundlicherweise helfen? [23:22] hmmmmm,,,,,,,bitte.... [23:23] KaffeeTasse: englisch? [23:23] in #mythtv-de findest du noch mehr deutsche [23:24] sorry....wusst ich nit, dann gehe ich mal zu den deutschen mythtv'lern. Thx
