| BoxOfSnoo | Hi, does anyone else have crackly audio issues with the latest release? In everything, not just live tv or playback. | 00:51 |
| Tuv0k | used to | 00:55 |
| Tuv0k | goto sound settings and change the defaults | 00:55 |
| BoxOfSnoo | from/to...? | 00:56 |
| Tuv0k | from whatever it is now to anything that does nto give scratchy sound | 00:57 |
| Tuv0k | or search the forums for the known issue and get your read on | 00:57 |
| Tuv0k | whichever is easiest | 00:57 |
| BoxOfSnoo | super unhelpful. Done all that, thanks. | 00:57 |
| Tuv0k | then it'd be fixed | 00:58 |
| Tuv0k | don't cry because you can follow diretions | 00:58 |
| Tuv0k | not | 00:58 |
| BoxOfSnoo | apparently not. You didn't really read my question right either. Never mind, you can sit here and act superior I'll try other stuff. | 00:59 |

| frozenskunk1 | Can someone give me a hand getting lirc to work with a command IR mini? It hasn't worked wince the upgrade to 8.04. I can see input using mode2 -m -d /dev/lirc1, but can never see anything using irw. I've tried multiple hardware.conf and lircd.conf files. | 01:02 |
| Tuv0k | while palying regular sound you heard crackling? | 01:02 |
| rhpot1991 | mostly music, and popping | 01:02 |
| Tuv0k | frozenskunk1, I feel for you | 01:02 |
| frozenskunk1 | others have this joy then? | 01:03 |
| Tuv0k | I just have had issues before with lirc and my remote | 01:03 |
| Tuv0k | but I guess mythbuntu got it covered now | 01:03 |
| Tuv0k | even after a fresh kernel | 01:03 |
| Tuv0k | but that was when I was running unstable | 01:04 |
| Tuv0k | Hardy Alpha | 01:04 |
| frozenskunk1 | I had gotten it working without too much trouble when I switched to the commandIR under 7.10, but when I upgraded to 8.04 it broke, and I STILL haven't gotten it working... | 01:04 |
| frozenskunk1 | I've tried everything I can find and gone through all the steps on the commandIR troubleshooting section, but just can't get it going... | 01:05 |
| Tuv0k | and he logs off like that? | 01:10 |
| frozenskunk | Sorry, router crashed, did I miss any ideas on my lirc issue? | 01:26 |
| Tuv0k | negative | 01:30 |
| frozenskunk | any ideas on where I might look for answers, other than the usual places? I've scoured them pretty well over the last 3 months... | 01:30 |
| superm1 | frozenskunk, using the new driver? | 01:34 |
| superm1 | or the old one? | 01:34 |
| frozenskunk | not sure, everything is up to date on update manager... | 01:34 |
| frozenskunk | haw can a verify? | 01:34 |
| === Tuv0k is now known as darthanubis | ||
| superm1 | frozenskunk, well if you aren't intentionally using it, then you dont have it | 01:54 |
| superm1 | i'm notsure how well the old style commandir is supported on it anyhow | 01:54 |
| superm1 | so whats happening with yoru device though? | 01:54 |
| superm1 | dont see anything on irw, so maybe try to re-record your lircd.conf for your remote | 01:54 |
| frozenskunk | basically it hasn't worked since I upgraded to 8.04, i've tried several lircd.conf files from the internet which appear to be well supported, and I never had problems iwth that before ,I am using a hauppage A415 remote | 01:55 |
| frozenskunk | I can see input using mode2 -m -d /dev/lirc0, but nothing in irw. | 01:56 |
| frozenskunk | although since you mentioned the driver, I've been poking around looking at that, and when I check the syslog, I never see this: COMMANDIR USB device now attached to commandir0 | 01:57 |
| frozenskunk | Receiving on #1 Transmitting on #1 2 3 4, which according to a web page I found, I should | 01:57 |
| superm1 | well so do try to record with irrecord | 02:14 |
| superm1 | see if the lircd.conf that it spits out is anybetter | 02:14 |
| frozenskunk | ok, i haven't done that yet, let me give it a shot | 02:15 |
| frozenskunk | any idea if I should chase down the syslog issue? | 02:25 |
| frozenskunk | superm1: I tried to do an irrecord on a lircd.conf file I had downloaded to use with my remote, when i do 'irrecord testlirc' I get the following: | 03:16 |
| frozenskunk | irrecrod: could not get file information for /dev/lirc | 03:16 |
| frozenskunk | irrecord: default_init(): NO such file or directory | 03:16 |
| frozenskunk | irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) | 03:16 |
| superm1 | frozenskunk, you have to provide -d /dev/lirc0 | 03:17 |
| superm1 | or similar | 03:17 |
| ian_001 | i just enabled network control but when trying to connect to the machine over telnet i am getting connection refused, i checked iptables and it seems to have no rules installed, is there something i could be missing? | 03:19 |
| frozenskunk | superm1: that got me started, thanks! | 03:20 |
| ian_001 | sorry for the question, of cours ethe second i asked i solve dmy issue, i had changed the port and didnt realize i needed a reboot | 03:22 |
| superm1 | ian_001, most people use SSH instead of telnet though | 03:23 |
| superm1 | in an effort to be more secure | 03:23 |
| ian_001 | ill be honest, im somewhat new to network control, if i use ssh does it become ssh->telnet ? | 03:27 |
| ian_001 | or is ssh a replacement for telnet? | 03:28 |
| defendguin | yup | 03:28 |
| defendguin | its a secure replacement for telnet | 03:28 |
| defendguin | telnet = not encrypted | 03:28 |
| ian_001 | ok, i wasnt sure if ssh was a wrapper around telnet | 03:29 |
| defendguin | afik its a completely different project | 03:29 |
| hads | ian_001: You mean network control in mythfrontend? If so you'll need to restart the frontend. | 03:31 |
| hads | And you can't use ssh for that. | 03:31 |
| hads | SSH is a replacement for telnet, but controlling mythfrontend via telnet is something different again. | 03:32 |
| ian_001 | sadly i just tried connecting remotely and was unable to do it | 03:32 |
| ian_001 | locally it works absolutely fine | 03:33 |
| hads | You mean on the frontend `telnet localhost 6546` ? | 03:33 |
| superm1 | oh didnt realize you were trying to do remote control of mythfrontend via telnet | 03:34 |
| superm1 | defendguin, you pung earlier? | 03:34 |
| hads | superm1: That's what I'm guessing | 03:34 |
| ian_001 | ok, i had left the local connection open, closing that allowed the remote connection, i assumed multiple connections were allowed | 03:35 |
| defendguin | yeah i was reading some ubuntu forums and i saw a post of yours about how you were configuring your mouse and i thought you might be able to shed some light on something | 03:35 |
| defendguin | let me find the post | 03:38 |
| defendguin | superm1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217086&highlight=cm3000 | 03:41 |
| defendguin | i was using the mouse driver in my xorg file but i switched to evdev after reading this post and it seems as though each time i try to use the tilt wheel or middle click x crashes | 03:42 |
| defendguin | Option "WHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "4 5" can you use these options if you use the mouse driver? | 03:44 |
| frozenskunk | superm1: I've tried to irrecord and it goes through the motions, but never saves any changes to the file I am running it on, I'm doing 'sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 testlirc' and when I check test lirc after running there are no changes. | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | superm1: never mind, I just saw it was output as testlirc.conf | 03:56 |
| SHADOW__X | hello everyone | 03:58 |
| SHADOW__X | i was wondering how i can fix ntsc audio using a pinnacle pctv hd 800i because of an also issue i do not hear anything | 03:59 |
| SHADOW__X | i am currently using mythbuntu 8.04 | 03:59 |
| ian_001 | using the telnet control of mythtv is there a way to get a list of the songs or play a specific song? i see that i can jump to mythmusic and use the key command to change the song but i dont see a way to jump to a specific song | 04:01 |
| doje | hi all, I just installed mythbuntu 8.04 and the install failed during install packages select. can I get back to that from the CLI now that it's booted up ? | 06:45 |
| superm1 | doje, sure | 07:39 |
| superm1 | you can look at the log in /var/log/syslog first though | 07:40 |
| superm1 | and see if it tells you where went wrong | 07:40 |
| superm1 | but the command is "ubiquity" | 07:40 |
| superm1 | which should automatically choose the mythbuntu frontend | 07:40 |
| doje | I have the log console here - "Couldn't find task mythbuntu-frontend" | 07:41 |
| doje | superm1: I was using the alternate CD so I could PXE boot it - I also tried burning it but the result was the same | 07:42 |
| doje | superm1: I'm buring the "Desktop" version now | 07:42 |
| doje | superm1: there's nothing starting with "ub" in root or user paths - I'm going to try the other CD | 07:57 |
| doje | superm1: I saved the /var/log directory and a dmesg if you want me to check for anything | 07:58 |
| sebrock | from where is the x11vnc server started in 8.04? I need to change a option parameter | 14:57 |
| superm1 | its started from the /usr/share/mythtv/session.sh i think | 15:54 |
| superm1 | or at least some script /usr/share/mythtv | 15:54 |
| superm1 | sebrock, ^ | 15:54 |
| ron_ | whats the trick to getting the audio output louder? i have tried 2 sound cards and now have a sb live | 16:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ron_, you could try a couple things | 16:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | first, have you increased the volume in alsamixer? | 16:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | second, make sure mythtv volume is up | 16:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | last you could increase the volume that mythtv records shows at | 16:33 |
| gregL | <tgm4883_laptop how do you increase the volume that mythtv records at? | 16:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | gregL, it's either in the recording profiles found in the frontend or it's tuner specific and found in mythtv-setup | 16:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | default is 70 | 16:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which i've found is good, but some tv's don't have very good speakers | 16:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that only will increase the volume on the recordings though, so if you have trouble hearing dvd's too it wont help that | 16:37 |
| gregL | Ok yeah i seen that..My dvb card is always low for some reason... | 16:37 |
| gregL | Sometimes to the point that you really have to strain to hear... | 16:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | oh | 16:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that you probably won't be able to fix | 16:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sorry, i always forget the disclaimer about preencoded content | 16:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | eh, I'd look anyway though, just in case | 16:39 |
| gregL | I like the card, it's an air2pc and it work's well except for the sound. | 16:39 |
| gregL | Thanks... | 16:42 |
| sebrock | superm1, thanks | 17:08 |
| sebrock | superm1, sorry cant fint anything x11vnc in any script | 18:42 |
| sebrock | nervermind I found it | 18:54 |
| sebrock | /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh | 18:55 |
| Seeker` | how do you setup mythfilldatabase to grab only the channels found by the tuner | 18:56 |
| Seeker` | if I have a nova-t 500, why is it that when I have something due to record and I am watching tuner 1, with nothing happening on tuner 2, it doesn't automatically start recording on tuner 2, and instead takes over tuner 1 for recording and leaves tuner 2 doing nothing | 19:58 |
| zabbadapp | Seeker`: there is an option "minimize live-tv collision" or some such, which will pick recordings from the beginning of available tuners, and live-tv from the end of available tuners (if the have the same channels) ... it is not perfect, and live-tv may pick a currently recording tuner if multirec is enabled and if the default channel is available within that mux. Someone else may explain better, because I always | 20:53 |
| zabbadapp | record a show to avoid any surprises if more than one recording starts. | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Seeker`, zabbadapp another solution that exists right next to that option is to allow live tv to move scheduled recordings to different tuners. | 21:47 |
| dschan | anyone here? | 22:13 |
| zabbadapp | yes | 22:13 |
| dschan | hi! great! | 22:14 |
| dschan | can you help me with my mythbuntu setup? | 22:14 |
| zabbadapp | what is the problem | 22:14 |
| dschan | got a new mboard today and try to set it up from the scratch. however, channelscan does not work (dvb-t germany ruhrgebiet) | 22:15 |
| dschan | ...it DID work with a former installation... | 22:16 |
| dschan | zabbadapp? still there or not interested? need more info? | 22:20 |
| zabbadapp | sorry, was looking at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ7RkyBoBc ... | 22:24 |
| zabbadapp | anyway, was that the channelscan from within mythtv? | 22:25 |
| dschan | yes | 22:26 |
| dschan | sry, dont have flash support, yet... | 22:27 |
| dschan | i tried to import a channels.conf but mythtv told me that it's not able to parse the file. | 22:29 |
| zabbadapp | ok, have you tried just letting it scan the entier frequency range? it will find your channels, even if it take longer time | 22:29 |
| zabbadapp | i had problems importing any kind of frequencies also and gave up ... until i realised i didn't need one | 22:30 |
| dschan | i'll try again, but i'm sure that i tried everything for about a thousand times... anyway... just a sec | 22:30 |
| dschan | got the german version installed. I tried sth like "entire scan of all known transponders" and it returns sth like "error adjusting transponder frequency" then the next dialogue box appears and does ... nothing... | 22:34 |
| zabbadapp | else you can install "apt-get install dvb-utils" to use the command "scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-NameOfClosestTransmitter" ... you may get better error messages from the commandline | 22:34 |
| dschan | how can i find out about my closest transmitter? | 22:35 |
| zabbadapp | it has a normal name ... tab to see all de-(something) | 22:35 |
| zabbadapp | de-Hamburg or whatever | 22:35 |
| dschan | scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-Ruhrgebiet | 22:36 |

| zabbadapp | ok, you got mythtv running and it locks all .. | 22:36 |
| dschan | ok. mom | 22:36 |
| zabbadapp | there is an option to have it releas a tuner if it not is in use | 22:36 |
| dschan | cant i just close mythtv? | 22:37 |
| zabbadapp | yes .. that works too | 22:37 |
| dschan | scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-Ruhrgebiet | 22:38 |
| dschan | using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' | 22:38 |

| dschan | initial transponder 586000000 0 2 9 1 1 3 0 | 22:38 |
| zabbadapp | a working channel should give a line like this: "0x0000 0x0316: pmt_pid 0x0316 D -- SILVER (running, scrambled)" | 22:39 |
| zabbadapp | ah! i think I know the problem, have you enabled the internal amplifier of the T-500 ? | 22:40 |
| dschan | ok. hmmm. how can i get this ;-) .... however, thanks for your help so far! | 22:40 |
| dschan | internal amplifier? i don't think so. never heard of it | 22:41 |
| dschan | had good reception(?) during scan (99%) | 22:41 |
| zabbadapp | do you have a line "options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1" in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options ? | 22:42 |
| dschan | where should i look for this line? | 22:42 |
| zabbadapp | less /etc/modprobe.d/options | 22:42 |
| dschan | not at all | 22:43 |
| dschan | shall i add? | 22:43 |
| zabbadapp | yes, do that -- it can't get any worse .... lna = low noise amplifier (or something like that .. I have a T-500 too, and without that line it didn't work at all for me .. and it is a common knowledge for this card) | 22:44 |
| dschan | wow. didnt know that... how can i load the new options | 22:45 |
| dschan | by the way: Great to have a patient and nice helper online! THANK YOU SO MUCH! | 22:45 |
| zabbadapp | i don't know, i would do the windows way (reboot) ... | 22:46 |
| dschan | ok, then I'll be off for a couple of minutes... cheers and cu later | 22:46 |
| zabbadapp | do you have the T-500 firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.xxxx-generci/ also? | 22:47 |
| dschan | just a sec | 22:47 |
| zabbadapp | called dvb-usb-dib0700-(something).fw .... dmesg | grep -i dvb will show if it is loaded (and what name your version of v4l expects it to be named) | 22:49 |
| dschan | i hae got that le. hoi am u th pceson oth crd | 22:50 |
| zabbadapp | it should be ok, because i don't think you would have any dvb-device else | 22:50 |
| dschan | sorry, again | 22:50 |
| dschan | i have got that file. however i have the pci version | 22:50 |
| zabbadapp | yes, but the T-500 has an usb-device built in to the pci card (really!) .. som the dvb-hardware is actually two usb-dongles put on a pci-card | 22:51 |
| dschan | ok?! wow... | 22:52 |
| zabbadapp | confusing but nothing to care about .. it works, and was probably a lot cheaper/faster for Hauppage to manufacture | 22:52 |

| Zinn | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/ | 22:53 |
| dschan | however, i have got a directoy 2.6.24-16-generic too | 22:53 |
| zabbadapp | i think i mixed you up with someone else, i see you never said it was a T-500 :-( sorry ... so the LNA-amplifier was wrong for you | 22:55 |
| dschan | DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T PCI) | 22:56 |
| dschan | ...is what i have | 22:56 |
| zabbadapp | yes, sorry once again .. nova-T is not one of those pci-usb cards .. so forget my ramblings about that :) ... however, the "scan" command is real and works just as good for you as for my nova T-500 | 22:57 |
| dschan | sure ... had a vdr vefore and used it there. however i seem to be too stupid to apply old knowledge (or patience...) :D | 22:58 |
| zabbadapp | what kind of antenna do you have? does it require a power inserter and is it running? to me it seems like you are getting extremely bad reception so even channel scans fail | 23:00 |
| zabbadapp | (you know, like if you forgot to plug in the aerial :) ) | 23:00 |
| dschan | i played a lot with that and in the mythtv channel scan (backend) i had brilliant reception | 23:01 |
| dschan | antenna type ... | 23:01 |
| dschan | http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_Antennen | 23:01 |
| dschan | just checked the plug again .. was fine | 23:02 |
| zabbadapp | did the scan command say anything important at all? use the pastebin if needed: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/ | 23:04 |
| dschan | i'll try ... can i delete options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 | 23:04 |
| zabbadapp | yes, but i don't think it makes any difference, so you don't need to reboot right now | 23:05 |
| zabbadapp | (since you dont have that module at all) | 23:05 |
| dschan | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d1ce49f1a | 23:06 |
| dschan | ok, so i'll throw it out again .. for the cleanliness :-) | 23:07 |
| zabbadapp | yes, you should remove it... :-) i have no idea what could be wrong ... when I had a really bad directional antenna, i would get the channels of at least one mux (depending on how I pointed it), so I knew that my card wasn't completly dead ... but you get nothing :-( | 23:09 |
| zabbadapp | i mean, i got the channels of one mux when doing scan ... i could never watch them because there were so many errors in the reception :-) ... bought a new antenna then | 23:10 |
| dschan | ??? Maybe something wrong with drivers or so? the ardware should be fine... This antenna is a lot better than an amplidied one I tried. | 23:11 |
| zabbadapp | especially since you know it has worked before | 23:11 |

| Seeker` | is there a way to get xmltv to download only the listings for channels that can be found by scanning | 23:40 |
| zabbadapp | Seeker`: during the configuration of xmltv, you should have answered "yes" only to channels you wanted, you can correct that by editing .mythtv/<name_of_source>.xmltv so that channel=tv1.com becomes channel!tv1.com to disable a certain xmltv channel | 23:45 |
| Seeker` | is there a way of doing it automatically, so I dont have to go through the 250 or so channels | 23:46 |
| zabbadapp | there is most certainly some way to automate that :-) but i don't think there is a ready solution for it | 23:48 |
| zabbadapp | see it as a chance to flex those scripting skills a bit :D | 23:49 |
