[00:50] <MythbuntuGuest24> How do I set up TV out with invidia if my monitor is larger than my TV?
[01:16] <ian_001> is there a way through mythtv to modify id3 tags?
[03:02] <DurtDiggler> for some reason my front end is not connecting to my backend
[03:10] <DurtDiggler> oh.. fixed it
[03:21] <DurtDiggler> anybody know why I am getting either no sound at all or just a buzzing noise
[03:31] <DurtDiggler> I think I got a jacked up card
[03:39] <szakulec> I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem, but I couldn't get the audio synced up from my PVR-250 recordings unless I used mytharchive (different set of issues there); I recently found ProjectX, and it just works- go here for details on it: http://avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Project_X:
[03:40] <szakulec> IcedTea will work in place of Sun's Java (at least for what I did anyway)
[03:53] <DurtDiggler> at least you have audio
[03:58] <CRXLPY> tgm4883_laptop hi
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> hi
[04:00] <CRXLPY> I just got bak from work, while you were gone this afternoon I got both channels to play, I blacklisted ac97 and I think something else but I cant remember now
[04:02] <CRXLPY> the tuner card is scratchy and the pvr gets gurgly. so I still dont have good sound, but I do have bad sound out of both speakers.  thats progress eh? tgm4883_laptop
[04:03] <tgm4883_laptop> yea I suppose that is progress
[04:04] <DurtDiggler> hey tgm4883_laptop I have a font end now
[04:04] <CRXLPY> I am making a recording from each card. I will be playing them in mplayer to see in the sound is the same
[04:04] <DurtDiggler> and the sound is messed up with live tv
[04:05] <CRXLPY> how would I play the recording from the tunercard? it is an nuv file
[04:05] <DurtDiggler> it just makes buzzing sounds or nothing at all totally randomly
[04:08] <szakulec> DurtDiggler: actually, I either can have audio or internet access on that box
[04:09] <DurtDiggler> sometimes people sound like aliens on mine
[04:09] <DurtDiggler> if I hear anything at all
[04:09] <szakulec> if nothing else works, you can do what I did and buy a USB soundcard- it sounds good, and works perfectly
[04:09] <DurtDiggler> I just bought a brand new pvr 250
[04:10] <DurtDiggler> usually when I buy stuff it's broken
[04:10] <DurtDiggler> I almost always have to return it
[04:10] <DurtDiggler> is there driver problems maybe with the pvr 250
[04:11] <DurtDiggler> I thought a lotta poeple used that card
[04:11] <szakulec> no- but you might want the firmware
[04:13] <DurtDiggler> do I need to download different drivers
[04:14] <DurtDiggler> it seems like a driver problem
[04:14] <DurtDiggler> or a card problem
[04:17] <CRXLPY> firmware is part of the driver, you need to look up how to get the firmware.  not a driver problem, you just dont have the complete driver yet
[04:19] <DurtDiggler> oh I didn't know anything about getting new firmware
[04:21] <CRXLPY> not firmware as in "flashing bios" this is something that is loaded as part of the driver(it isnt flashed to the card)
[04:21] <CRXLPY> usually you extract it from the windows driver file on the cd
[04:23] <DurtDiggler> do you know anywhere I can get instructions on this
[04:23] <CRXLPY> one sec, lemme ask google
[04:24] <DurtDiggler> oh I'm asking him already
[04:24] <DurtDiggler> just thought Ide ask IRC also :)
[04:25] <CRXLPY> apparently you will need to match your revision(of which there are many) http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=FirmwareVersions
[04:30] <hads> Firmware is included now IIRC
[04:32] <DurtDiggler> I can't find my firmware
[04:33] <DurtDiggler> n/m I found it
[04:33] <MythbuntuGuest61> i accidentally clicked the wrong language for the mythbuntu backend setup, and I'd like to change it back to English; is there any way to do this without having to reinstall the entire thing?
[04:35] <MythbuntuGuest61> i followed the instructions found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418768, but it didn't work
[04:35] <DapOrp> it's gotta be stored in the mysql database somewhere.  can prolly change it there.
[04:35] <MythbuntuGuest61> yeah, thats what that thread said to do
[04:35] <MythbuntuGuest61> but i have no idea where the hell it would be or even what to look for
[04:39] <DurtDiggler> hey CRXLPY
[04:39] <DurtDiggler> my firmware doesnt match any of those on that list
[04:40] <CRXLPY> hads said the firmware is included now
[04:40] <DurtDiggler> oh
[04:40] <DurtDiggler> does this apply for mythdora too
[04:41] <CRXLPY> it applies for the card and driver, regardless of the distro
[04:41] <DurtDiggler> damn
[04:41] <DurtDiggler> then I must have a bad card
[04:41] <DurtDiggler> figures
[04:41] <MythbuntuGuest68> yeah
[04:41] <CRXLPY> have you tested in multiple tv apps?
[04:42] <DurtDiggler> when I order stuff I should just have them ship it to their rma department
[04:42] <CRXLPY> have you tested in multiple tv apps?
[04:42] <DurtDiggler> no not yet
[04:42] <CRXLPY> dont say you have a bad card then
[04:42] <DurtDiggler> thats gonna be so much trouble
[04:42] <CRXLPY> try tvtime
[04:43] <DurtDiggler> oh ok
[04:43] <DurtDiggler> how do I shut down mythtv
[04:44] <CRXLPY> esc
[04:44] <DurtDiggler> the backend
[04:44] <CRXLPY> dont worry bout it
[04:45] <MythbuntuGuest68> how do you show the data in a table in SQL?
[04:49] <DurtDiggler> it's wierd.. when I try to start it it just pops up for a split second then shuts down
[04:49] <CRXLPY> tvtime?
[04:49] <DurtDiggler> yeah
[04:49] <CRXLPY> try running it in a terminal
[04:49] <DurtDiggler> same
[04:50] <CRXLPY> and what does it say in the term?
[04:50] <DurtDiggler> it pops the screen up for a split second
[04:50] <DurtDiggler> and then shuts down
[04:51] <CRXLPY> and what does it say in the term?    anything?
[04:51] <DurtDiggler> nope
[04:51] <CRXLPY> does it just go to another prompt
[04:51] <DurtDiggler> oh now it's doing somthing
[04:51] <DurtDiggler> I rebooted
[04:52] <CRXLPY> you gotta tell me these things, I wont help you if you only tell me bits
[04:53] <DurtDiggler> extension xvideo missing on display ":0.0"
[04:53] <DurtDiggler> you gotta give me a second to get the info
[04:53] <CRXLPY> and you are of course in X right?
[04:54] <DurtDiggler> yeah
[04:54] <DurtDiggler> xvoutput: XVIDEO extension not found
[04:55] <DurtDiggler> X too old? didn't load extmod?
[04:55] <DurtDiggler> thats what it says
[04:55] <CRXLPY> does not mean x too old
[04:56] <DurtDiggler> those questions were part of the error
[04:56] <CRXLPY> what version *buntu are you running
[04:56] <DurtDiggler> I'm on fedora actually
[04:56] <CRXLPY> oh no wonder, you are in the wrong channel
[04:57] <DurtDiggler> haha well Im trying to get help with mythtv
[04:57] <DurtDiggler> I don't know what happened to the mythtv channel
[04:57] <DurtDiggler> I thought there used to be one
[04:57] <CRXLPY> mythtv-users
[04:57] <DurtDiggler> yah
[04:57] <CRXLPY> it is on the mythtv website
[04:57] <CRXLPY> that is the channel
[04:58] <CRXLPY> but
[04:58] <CRXLPY> you need x fixed first
[04:58] <DurtDiggler> oh I see my irc didn't show it in the list
[04:58] <DurtDiggler> yeah Ill go to fedora and get it fixed
[04:59] <CRXLPY> not sure what rpm it would be but something like xf86-video-xv
[04:59] <CRXLPY> you need the xv driver installed
[04:59] <CRXLPY> then hopfully tvtime will work and you will have a test tool
[05:01] <DurtDiggler> yeah
[05:02] <MythbuntuGuest68> so does anyone know exactly where the language setting is in the mysql db?
[05:04] <CRXLPY> the link you were given earlier shows how very plainly MythbuntuGuest68
[05:04] <MythbuntuGuest68> yeah, i saw that, but it didn't work for some reason; its still a different language
[05:04] <MythbuntuGuest68> grr....its probably easiest to reinstall :(
[05:05] <CRXLPY> now you sound like a windows user    lol
[05:06] <MythbuntuGuest68> lol
[05:06] <MythbuntuGuest68> i'm trying to get rid of Windows and move over to ubuntu
[05:06] <MythbuntuGuest68> xp was alright, but vista...ugh
[05:06] <DurtDiggler> it would probablyu be faster for me jsut to take the damn card out and put it in my windows machine and test it
[05:07] <DurtDiggler> I'll spend the next 2 weeks trying to get that TV program working in linux
[05:07] <MythbuntuGuest68> you shouldn't have to save the DB or anything when you make changes, right? it should just be instant?
[05:07] <CRXLPY> not fixing stuff is never faster DurtDiggler
[05:08] <DurtDiggler> I'm not worried about tvtime
[05:08] <DurtDiggler> I just want mythtv to work
[05:08] <CRXLPY> ok fine
[05:08] <CRXLPY> the other channels are going to ask you the same thing
[05:09] <DurtDiggler> whats that
[05:09] <CRXLPY> does it do the same thing in another app
[05:09] <DurtDiggler> yeah Ill find out on my windows box
[05:09] <CRXLPY> basic troubleshooting 101
[05:09] <DurtDiggler> the easiest woudl be if I had another card
[05:09] <CRXLPY> you will still be asked it when you are doing config
[05:10] <CRXLPY> you are making this hard. what is hard about installing the xv driver and running tvtime?
[05:11] <DurtDiggler> the fact that I use windows
[05:11] <DurtDiggler> and I'm new to linux
[05:11] <CRXLPY> ok  dont ask for help with linux then
[05:11] <DurtDiggler> haha why would I not ask for help
[05:11] <DurtDiggler> I know everything about windows
[05:12] <CRXLPY> because you dont want to take it
[05:12] <DurtDiggler> linux is where I need help
[05:12] <CRXLPY> but when I try to help you just run to windows and say linux is too hard
[05:12] <DurtDiggler> well I think testing the card is windows will be faster at this point
[05:13] <DurtDiggler> in windows*
[05:13] <CRXLPY> besides you are in the wrong channel. I cant even tell you how to install the xv driver
[05:13] <DurtDiggler> exactly
[05:13] <rhpot1991> DurtDiggler: launch the restricted drivers manager and install whatever 3rd party graphics drivers you need
[05:13] <DurtDiggler> and #fedora wasnt give me any kind of response
[05:13] <CRXLPY> he isnt using buntu rhpot1991
[05:13] <rhpot1991> heh, perhaps I should have read all the way up then
[05:14] <CRXLPY> rhpot1991 that is why I said wrong channel
[05:15] <CRXLPY> he just wants to do his testing in windows to figure out why linux doesnt work......if that makes sense rhpot1991
[05:16] <DurtDiggler> to figure out why the card doesnt work
[05:16] <DurtDiggler> if it doesnt work
[05:17] <CRXLPY> ok cul8tr
[05:24] <DurtDiggler> god I completely forgot I have a techstation just for this purpose
[05:25] <DurtDiggler> inside out computer
[07:18] <DurtDiggler> yup my cards broken
[07:18] <DurtDiggler> I wish just once I could get a working piece of merchandise the first time it's sent to me
[07:20] <anubis> my transcodes are eroring out
[07:20] <anubis> erroring
[07:21] <anubis> exit status 255, job status was "Errored"
[07:21] <rhpot1991> multiple backends?
[07:23] <DurtDiggler> does anyone know where I can buy a pvr-500
[07:26] <anubis> rhpot1991, only one backend. Going to check the recording prefs
[07:30] <anubis> rhpot1991, I did not have the transcoder set to lossless
[07:30] <anubis> I normally do so I can edit and transcode out the commercials with the cutlist
[11:29] <dschan> Hi everybody. Can anyone help me with my lirc setup for nova-t pci card (with inbuilt receiver)? Number keys are working already, however the arrow keys don't ... Cheers
[13:11] <strikegun> hi, I wouldlike to know if anyone got mythbuntu to work in a openvz- VE or under Xen. If Xen,then as HVM or PVM? thx
[13:17] <strikegun> if I have a naked ubutnu 8.04 System without any xwindow, do I only need for the beginnig the mythbuntu-desktop package to have a install like by mythbuntucd?
[13:24] <strikegun> can nobody help or is anybody afk? ;-)
[13:46] <laga2> mroning.
[13:46] <laga2> err, morning
[17:06] <tom_> I have purchased a Compro E800F Hybrid D/A HW2 PCIe card.  The chips on the card include:
[17:06] <tom_>         Conexant PCIe A/V decoder: CX23885-132
[17:06] <tom_>         Conexant MPEG II A/V/Encoder CX23417-11Z

[17:07] <tom_> I have tried a number of solutions including building the latest copy of v4l-dvb and using the cx23885 module with card=4 option.
[17:07] <tom_> The problem I am having is that the lgdt330x module is being loaded with the cx23885, however my demodulator is the zarlink ZL10353.  I am
[17:07] <tom_>  not sure on how to proceed.  Please see below for output of lspci -vvnn.

[17:10] <MythbuntuGuest59> hi there
[17:10] <MythbuntuGuest59> is this the right place for mythubuntu support?
[17:12] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest59, yes
[17:12] <tgm4883_laptop> !ask | MythbuntuGuest59
[17:12] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest59: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[17:13] <MythbuntuGuest59> alright, sorry. i'm new to mythubuntu. can i connect to my mythubuntu server using mythtv on windows for example? or is it a completely different project?
[17:14] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest59, yes you can
[17:14] <tgm4883_laptop> tom_, random stab in the dark, have you tried blacklisting the lgdt330x module?
[17:16] <MythbuntuGuest59> thanks alot and have a nice day
[17:16] <tom_> tgm4883_laptop, no I havent.  I will try however the cx23885 code does not contain any linkage to the zarlink module ie zl10353
[17:16] <Seeker`> is it possible to change what user mythtv runs as
[17:16] <Seeker`> I am logged in as "chris", but all the files are owned by mythtv, wich seems to make mythtranscode and mytharchive fail, as the files are owned by "mythtv"
[17:21] <tom_> tgm4883_laptop, I have tried blacklisting the lgdt330x module.  This prevents it from loading but as expected no other demodulator is loaded and thus /dev/dvb is not created. Thanks anyway.
[18:03] <sabhain> Seeker, have you added chris to the mythtv group?
[18:05] <sabhain> and also, check that the "group" can write to those directories / files .. then you should be ok.
[18:54] <Seeker`> mythtranscode keeps on failing to run when trying to use mytharchive
[19:22] <Seeker`> and the resulting dvd is jerky
[21:20] <mythuser23__> high i'm trying to get my PVR 350 to display on my tv using its out. i'm running on mythbuntu. anyone have any ideas?
[21:40] <jphillip> mythuser23__ go buy a real video card, and thank me later?
[21:41] <jphillip> the 350's out is neat, but once you realize how limited it is, its not worth the hastle
[21:41] <CRXLPY> mythuser23__ here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out
[21:42] <laga> i guess if he's got the card, why not give it a try?
[21:43] <CRXLPY> although there may be better cards I understand it is what you have so I used google(hint)  and found the above link at the top of the list
[21:47] <CRXLPY> good man laga much batter answer than the earlier one
[22:06] <Seeker`> how long does it take to download 42 channels over xmltv?
[22:20] <jphillip> CRXLPY I'd disagree, as someone who has  used that, I think he should know the downfalls before he wastes time getting it working
[22:21] <jphillip> seems he doesn't want to discuss it though :)
[22:21] <CRXLPY> you could have stated it more constructively at least
[22:21] <laga> jphillip: you didn't mention the downfalls. you just said it was limited
[22:22] <CRXLPY> maybe let him try to get the 350 going and realize this aint gonna do
[22:23] <CRXLPY> "go buy a real video card"  is more a comment on him than on the video card.  I dont blame him for retreating
[22:23] <dmz> howdy! anyone here using mythbuntu on a EVIA-M board?
[22:24] <CRXLPY> what arch is that board?
[22:24] <dmz> 600MHz Fanless VIA Eden™ Processor (x86 compat)
[22:25] <CRXLPY> ahh neato.   and no I havent (lol)
[22:25] <dmz> i can't seem to get video playback to work, i can get mplayer w/avi working but internal player doesn't seem to know the mpeg decoder / video out and whenever i play a recording or video it kills mythfrontend and drops back to gdm logon
[22:25] <dmz> :(
[22:25] <dmz> oops, dinner time, if anyone answers i'll check for response when i get back
[22:26] <dmz> http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=81  (lots of them on ebay:)
[22:46] <rhpot1991> 350 downfalls is that it can ONLY do mpeg2, so if you want to do anything else it wont cut it, xwindows control on it is very very limited and configuration is a pain
[22:47] <rhpot1991> it can only do SD as well, but that may not be an issue for him
[22:47] <laga> it can do Xv
[22:48] <rhpot1991> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pvr350
[22:48] <rhpot1991> outlined there
[22:54] <mythuser23__> what do you mean buy a real card?
[22:54] <mythuser23__> like what kind of card? the PVR's are highly recomended
[22:54] <rhpot1991> actual video card that can do other things, didn't mean to come off as mean or anything, just was busy at work
[22:54] <rhpot1991> well yes, for a capture card
[22:55] <rhpot1991> and the 350 outputs SD video captured from it quite nicely, but if you want to do anything else, then it will not cut it
[22:56] <mythuser23__> i just want to be able to display my mythtv and video on my older tv, when i finally get my 42" hdtv than i'll just use vga to rgb
[22:57] <laga> just use VGA to VGA or DVI?
[22:58] <rhpot1991> it will do for that, that ubuntu wiki link above looks reasonable, but I recall seeing words about it being harder to do in newer mythbuntu revisions so you may want to check the forums if you run into problems
[22:58] <mythuser23__> older machine, onboard video card. thinking about putting a nicer video card in though, heard Nvidia works better with linux
[23:00] <mythuser23__> right now i have a 150 and a 350 in my machine. building a mythbox for my parents though and put a 350 in there because they have an older big screen with no VGA input so i was counting on and trying to get the video out to work
[23:01] <rhpot1991> 350 can't do HD output
[23:01] <rhpot1991> keep that in mind
[23:01] <mythuser23__> yea, i was going to get a 3rd HD card when i come to that point
[23:01] <rhpot1991> laga: I ordered an eeepc today
[23:02] <laga> nice
[23:02] <laga> amazon shipped my copy of "American Nerd" today :)
[23:02] <laga> rhpot1991: the 901?
[23:03] <mythuser23__> Another qusetion. for some reason when i go into the backend and try to setup the capture card on my parents box its unable to see it! any suggestions on how to fix it?
[23:03] <mythuser23__> on mine it found it right away
[23:04] <rhpot1991> laga a 1000
[23:04] <rhpot1991> hopefully I can stop being a slacker now
[23:06] <laga> rhpot1991: regarding what? mythbuntu? ;)
[23:08] <mythuser23__> i'm sorry what are you asking?
[23:27] <rhpot1991> laga: yep, I have a bunch of stuff half way done that I just don't feel like working on when I get home from work
[23:33] <laga> rhpot1991: heh.. i've got some spare time now and the MCC revamp is actually progressing.. i hope to have the first plugin completely converted & functional by sunday
