| MythbuntuGuest89 | where do i modify it? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| MythbuntuGuest89 | if I goto setup--> general it is the ip address of the backend. | 00:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | Laga>is there another place? | 00:47 |
| laga | there are two ip addresses listed there | 00:47 |
| laga | what are these? | 00:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | I only see the one in general. Hostname: 192.168.0.156 | 00:49 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | which is the backend | 00:50 |
| laga | there should be another one below | 00:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | all on this page is ; ping test server port;database name; usre; password | 00:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | laga, am i in the right place? | 00:54 |
| laga | probably not ;) i can't look right now because i shut down my master backend | 00:56 |
| laga | but your problem really is a FAQ, it'd be surprised if google didn't turn up something | 00:57 |
| laga | "mythtv remote frontend" might be a good starting point for google | 00:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | Ill see what turns up | 00:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | is it located in the setup or in the control center? | 00:59 |
| laga | setup usually, but you can also set it in the control centre. the problem is that mythtv also supports auto configuration over upnp which can mess things up ;) | 01:00 |
| laga | it's necessary to configure your master backend correctly and to have the correct information for the mysql server on the remote frontend | 01:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest89 | in general setup on the server the is 2 ipaddress both the same as above | 01:06 |
| jalex | Where may I get 8.04 instead of 8.04.1? | 01:15 |
| laga | um. nowhere, probably. why would you want to do that? | 01:16 |
| jalex | 8.04.1 install doesn't really work for me. I tried multiple times but it has weird issues. | 01:17 |
| jalex | I might just put ubuntu 8.04 and then add mythbuntu on there...that should work. | 01:18 |
| laga | well, 8.04 shouldn't be much better - these point releases shouldn't introduce regressions | 01:18 |
| laga | why don't you report these issues in the bug tracker? http://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu | 01:18 |
| === jalex_ is now known as jalex | ||
| massi | please guys i need help | 01:55 |
| hads | !ask | 01:56 |
| Zinn | 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. | 01:56 |
| jalex | The 8.04.1 alt iso seems to have some inconsistencies with the cdrom identity and apt-get. | 01:57 |
| massi | I run mythtv-setup for the first time but I get error about database | 01:57 |
| jalex | xubuntu installed ok...I'll just add mythbuntu after the fact. | 01:57 |
| jalex | massi: I've only setup mythtv form the source, so far. you are using the mythbuntu packages? | 01:58 |
| massi | jalex: yes | 01:58 |
| jalex | and you put in the mysql info ? mysql pass is in /etc/mysql.txt or somewhere like that. | 01:59 |
| jalex | (in case you forgot from the install screen | 01:59 |
| massi | I ve found 2 passw in mysql.txt | 01:59 |
| massi | wich ones? | 01:59 |
| jalex | maybe one is the username? | 01:59 |
| massi | 1 pass is mythtv and tthe other one is h38jid or something | 02:00 |
| massi | username is mythtv as well | 02:00 |
| massi | so the correct one is "DBPassword" value? | 02:01 |
| jalex | try them in the terminal | 02:02 |
| jalex | mysql -u mythtv -p | 02:02 |
| jalex | and enter what you think the pass is | 02:02 |
| massi | i ve got ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 02:02 |
| massi | i ve tried without password and I ve got "mysql>" prompt | 02:04 |
| jalex | hah, that's funny. | 02:05 |
| jalex | don't enter a mysql pass in mythtv-setup then | 02:05 |
| massi | i've just tried but it does not change nothig - i ve got error "cannot find (ping) database host on the network" | 02:06 |
| jalex | crud, what do you know. my hard drive is going seriously bad...well, that accounts for the install issues. | 02:08 |
| NTolerance_ | just had a HDD die on my old Gutsy mythtv setup | 03:11 |
| NTolerance_ | restoring went beautifully | 03:11 |
| NTolerance_ | just copied the recording directory over and restored the mysql database | 03:11 |
| chronographer | My via 12000 nehemiah locks up sometimes when playing videos. It locks up so that I can't restart X (ctrl alt backspace) nor switch to v.term (ctrl alt F1) anyone know what may be happening? | 05:55 |
| hads | Possibly heat | 05:59 |
| hads | (or many other things) | 05:59 |
| levander | Alright, I've been trying to get off this Mythbuntu developers email list for months. How the hell do I get off? | 06:04 |
| hads | Look at the source of the email, it more than likely has unsubscribe instructions. | 06:05 |
| chronographer | I don't think its heat... but it hasn't happened for a little while... I have removed my network card, will see if that fixs it. | 06:05 |
| levander | I've followed those instructions about 10 times now. | 06:05 |
| rhpot1991 | levander: the one about the team meeting? | 06:11 |
| levander | yeah | 06:11 |
| rhpot1991 | levander: you should be removed | 06:24 |
| levander | I hope so. They've said that the last 3 times I've come in here fussing. | 06:24 |
| rhpot1991 | you may still get an email tomorrow, but you shouldn't get them for any new meetings | 06:24 |

| TheBlasphemer | How can I change the subtitles in mplayer, or if that's not possible, switch to VLC as the standard video player? | 16:46 |
| zabbadapp | TheBlasphemer: in your lircrc file, put (in a begin-end block like the other keys): config = sub_select and config = sub_select -1 for two different remote buttons, then you can switch between available subs back and forth | 16:55 |
| olterman | anyone here know anything about mythbuntu 8.04 and Hauppauge dvb nova t 500 | 16:56 |
| olterman | I have installed a fresh install and can scan channels but cannot get mythtv to start up (ie show any tv ) | 16:57 |
| zabbadapp | olterman: i use mythbuntu 8.04 (upgraded from 7.10) and a T-500 | 16:57 |
| olterman | zabbadapp: cool | 16:57 |
| olterman | zabbadapp: what did you have to do to get an image etc | 16:57 |
| zabbadapp | do you know it works outside of myth? | 16:58 |
| olterman | well not really | 16:58 |
| olterman | new card | 16:58 |
| olterman | and new install | 16:58 |
| olterman | never had a tv card before | 16:58 |
| olterman | how can i test it | 16:58 |
| olterman | it seems to load fine in /var/log/messages | 16:59 |
| olterman | and I can get channel names from it that is as far as I get | 16:59 |
| olterman | but I dont know what to test really | 16:59 |
| zabbadapp | do you have the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/options: "options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1" | 17:00 |
| olterman | yes | 17:00 |
| olterman | ill dubbel check that I think I put that in another file | 17:01 |
| olterman | hang on | 17:01 |
| olterman | yes i do | 17:01 |
| zabbadapp | and the firmware has loaded? (dmesg | grep -i dvb) | 17:02 |
| olterman | yes | 17:02 |
| olterman | it starts cold loads firmware states that it found it warm etc | 17:02 |
| zabbadapp | "sudo apt-get install dvb-utils" ... stop mythbackend (or if you checked the option that myth should release the device if not in use) and then "scan scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/<country-code>-<geographic-location>" | 17:04 |
| zabbadapp | (oops, two scan .. only one of course) | 17:04 |
| zabbadapp | your closest transmitter should be in that dvb-t-directory | 17:04 |
| olterman | hmm ok then I need to install my modem on that machine | 17:05 |
| olterman | Ill try that and then come back | 17:05 |
| zabbadapp | no net? :-) | 17:05 |
| olterman | not on the mythbox | 17:06 |
| zabbadapp | ok .. you don't have to if you can get a channels.conf file some other way | 17:06 |
| olterman | isnt that what I get when I scan for channels ? | 17:06 |
| zabbadapp | yes, but then you can put that in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf and run "mplayer dvb://<device-unit>@<channel-name> " ... i.e. mplayer dvb://1@TV3 | 17:07 |
| zabbadapp | you card has 0 and 1 available (but mplayer can't play video from both dvb-t devices at once .. an mplayer limit ... mythtv can of course do that) ... you maybe can get some sensible error output this way | 17:09 |
| olterman | what does the internals of channel.conf look like | 17:10 |
| zabbadapp | (btw: i never get any sound when I play tv with mplayer on the dvb-device like that, but i get picture .. good enough) | 17:10 |
| zabbadapp | each line per channel looks like this: SVT2:682000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE:1029:1028:5020 | 17:11 |
| olterman | you in sweden? | 17:11 |
| olterman | kul | 17:11 |
| zabbadapp | yes .. jaha | 17:11 |
| olterman | jag är Svensk i exil (London) | 17:12 |
| zabbadapp | ojoj, många freeview-kanaler där!! ("many freeview channels over there" -- for the non swedes) | 17:13 |
| c3rb3rus5 | can anyone explain to me the differences in playback profiles? | 17:19 |
| zabbadapp | olterman: do you get absolutely no picture/sound at all, or do you get green-screen or black, with sound? ... some mpeg-decoding libraries won't work for me ... there are a few to select from in the myth-settings ... i've had moments with no picture because the video-acc layer seemed to be out of order .. but after i changed to libmpeg (or whatever it was) i've never had that problem | 17:20 |
| zabbadapp | c3rb3rus5: a good deinterlacer takes more cpu, and a hw-accelerated decoder (xvmc) takes little cpu .. good for old 'puters. If you don't have enough power to use the best deinterlacer for HD-content you can set up rules for when to use a specific profile ... never used them since I don't have HD and my machine handle the load | 17:24 |
| c3rb3rus5 | hrm | 17:24 |
| c3rb3rus5 | well | 17:24 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i am using this for HD and SD | 17:24 |
| c3rb3rus5 | and i'm using an onboard geforece 6150 | 17:25 |
| zabbadapp | what cpu? | 17:25 |
| c3rb3rus5 | x2 3200+, i think | 17:25 |
| c3rb3rus5 | make that an x2 3600+ | 17:27 |
| c3rb3rus5 | in any case on the CPU+ profile, there seems to be a slight audio sync problem | 17:27 |
| c3rb3rus5 | on high def stuff at least | 17:28 |
| zabbadapp | yadiff x2 and the other ??? x2 deinterlacers produce a progressive 50/60 fps (double rate) picture from the interlaced information, looks good for sports and such .. they take quite a lot of cpu ... maybe that + decoding HD is too much for your cpu? ... is the audio ok with lesser profiles? | 17:28 |
| olterman_ | ok intenet on the mythbuntu machine | 17:29 |
| olterman_ | could you give me that line to do with dvb-utils again | 17:29 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: ??? | 17:30 |
| zabbadapp | scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/se-Vannas > channels.txt | 17:30 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i had hd running correctly w/ xvmc before i updated / reinstalled in the box | 17:30 |
| zabbadapp | well, is the cpu+ profile using xvmc? i don't think so .. the name suggests it's a heavy profile and xvmc is easy on the cpu (but can't be deinterlaced/postprocessed) | 17:31 |
| zabbadapp | olterman_: apt-get install dvb-utils ? | 17:32 |
| olterman_ | done it | 17:32 |
| olterman_ | resource busy | 17:32 |
| olterman_ | need to kill myth I guess | 17:32 |
| zabbadapp | mythbacknd is locking it | 17:32 |
| c3rb3rus5 | really? xvmc can't be deinterlaced? thought that they had limited options, but still some | 17:32 |
| zabbadapp | olterman_: (yes, and there is an option as i said to make myth release the dev when not recording anything) | 17:33 |
| zabbadapp | c3rb3rus5: that's what i've read, but since i can't run xvmc anyway (only xv) i haven't tested. Anyway, simply xv (and probably xvmc) suck because it doesn't support more than 8bit color for overlays ontop of the video layer .. so the OSD becomes greyscale, if i remember correctly | 17:35 |
| laga | 8 bit is grayscale? huh | 17:36 |
| c3rb3rus5 | yea, i think that i had it enabled for hd and disabled for sd | 17:36 |
| c3rb3rus5 | hmm | 17:36 |
| zabbadapp | no, but it is the easiest way to convert a 24-bit osd-graphics into something that looks ok-ish in 256 colors | 17:36 |
| zabbadapp | the myth-people never bothered to implement fancy dithering to make it look better, because 256 colors will still look bad :-) | 17:37 |
| laga | ah | 17:37 |
| laga | xvmc can be deinterlaced, AFAIK | 17:38 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the slim profile seems to work ok... | 17:38 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the options are bob and one field | 17:38 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: ok that works perfectly | 17:38 |
| laga | yeah, the slim profile seems to work for most people.. it should be the default IMHO | 17:38 |
| olterman_ | still no go in myth | 17:38 |
| olterman_ | mplayer rocks with sound | 17:38 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so what is the diff between xvideo and xvmc? | 17:39 |
| zabbadapp | c3rb3rus5: bob and one-field are not really deinterlacers .. bob is ok if you have a CRT-tv, because it is exactly how the picture is displayed (alternating fields) ... one-field is just skipping odd fields and gives you half the resolution of the lines. | 17:39 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i see | 17:40 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: got any advice now ta | 17:41 |
| zabbadapp | c3rb3rus5: xvmc has Motion Compensation ... a process implemented in hardware in the graphics card to extrapolate the motion vectors of the mpeg-stream ... | 17:41 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: that I know the card works | 17:41 |
| zabbadapp | olterman_: great ... hmm, what happens when you start live-tv? | 17:42 |
| olterman_ | I get blacksvcreen and then back to menu | 17:42 |
| zabbadapp | if you start a recording? are you tail -f :ing the mythbackend-log? | 17:43 |
| olterman_ | I vcant start a recording I | 17:44 |
| zabbadapp | do you have correct permissions so myth can store the stream to disk? | 17:44 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: hmm | 17:44 |
| olterman_ | my directoruy is in my home catalogue | 17:44 |
| olterman_ | that is | 17:44 |
| olterman_ | my user has permissions ... does myth run as me otr mythtv | 17:44 |
| zabbadapp | as user mythtv | 17:45 |
| olterman_ | hmm | 17:45 |
| olterman_ | ok | 17:45 |
| olterman_ | ill try that then | 17:46 |
| olterman_ | ok it works now but how do I | 17:50 |
| olterman_ | change channels | 17:50 |
| zabbadapp | arrow up/down | 17:51 |
| zabbadapp | you should probably change a setting so that browsing channels doesn't change them until you hit enter (i don't remember if that is the default) ... channelchange is a bit on the slow side .. but with a good epg-source you can browse the channels and see what is on (whil still watching whats currently on) .. and the hit enter to finally actually change .. works great | 17:52 |
| olterman_ | I can only ewatch ` | 17:53 |
| olterman_ | I cant change at all | 17:53 |
| olterman_ | I get teh view of all the channels and the shows | 17:54 |
| olterman_ | I can miove up and down | 17:54 |
| olterman_ | but when I hit enter I get a menu of do not record etc | 17:54 |
| olterman_ | any suggestions _ | 17:55 |
| zabbadapp | then you're in the epg? or?... i meant that arrorw down will show in the osd what the next channel is currently showing .. and if that is what you want, enter changes to the next channel | 17:57 |
| zabbadapp | there is a key that changes to the channel the cursor is on, in the epg too .. but i don't remember ... (i have all keys a use mapped on the remote .. and that's not one of them) | 17:59 |
| c3rb3rus5 | do the myth-reboot and myth-halt scripts work? | 18:21 |
| c3rb3rus5 | nm... works when there is no ssh session connected | 18:27 |
| miv2 | Hi. Anybody ever experienced that using a remote control (in my case the one coming with a Hauppauge PVR-350) is kind of slow in Mythbuntu 8.04.1? Slow meaning I'm having quite a long delay after pressing the button until something happens. In TV mode, screen freezes for a second or so. When I use the PS/2 keyboard, everything is just fine ... | 19:26 |
| superm1 | just the guide miv2 ? | 19:32 |
| superm1 | or general usage in menus etc too? | 19:32 |
| miv2 | General use | 19:32 |
| superm1 | well so as to rule out mythtv bugs, i'd say go and give irw a shot | 19:33 |
| miv2 | in the menus it's not a big issue, but it is a bit of annoying if changing the volume freezes the movie | 19:33 |
| superm1 | and see if its reading delayed on those too | 19:33 |
| miv2 | irw workes in "realtime" | 19:33 |
| miv2 | as does MPlayer | 19:33 |
| darthanubis | I'd like to know how to get mythzmserver to run upon boot like it used to before .21? | 19:33 |
| superm1 | miv2, then in your ~/.mythtv/lircrc, do you have repeat/delay in use at all? | 19:34 |
| superm1 | darthanubis, does it need user information? | 19:34 |
| superm1 | or is it just a daemon app | 19:34 |
| miv2 | superm1: Most buttons don't have repeat or delay, some do. I copied the configuration from my old debian mythtv box, but I also tested the supplied lircrc from mythbuntu, there is not difference in behaviour | 19:35 |
| darthanubis | superm1, just a daemon app | 19:35 |
| darthanubis | no user info | 19:35 |
| miv2 | the funny thing is also, that the CPU is not used while the system freezes ... | 19:36 |
| darthanubis | I have to manually run mythzmserver from CLI | 19:36 |
| superm1 | darthanubis, then maybe just /etc/rc.local | 19:36 |
| superm1 | miv2, well that's crazyness then :) | 19:36 |
| darthanubis | I thought of that | 19:36 |
| darthanubis | but it really is not a script? | 19:36 |
| darthanubis | its a binary | 19:37 |
| darthanubis | the web says to have zoneminder start it from zm.conf. But I have yet to figure that one out? | 19:37 |
| darthanubis | I just am wondering why do I have to do this now, when before just installing mythzmserver just ran | 19:38 |
| darthanubis | zoneminder is set up and working | 19:38 |
| darthanubis | there is a bug report about it | 19:38 |
| darthanubis | does not look like it will ever get resolved though? | 19:39 |
| superm1 | well we are very far behind on bugs yes, but hopefully someday resolved :) | 19:39 |
| superm1 | you can launch binaries from /etc/rc.local though | 19:39 |
| superm1 | so that would work | 19:39 |
| darthanubis | thx | 19:42 |
| darthanubis | I have to copy or symlink the bin to the script dir, then run update.rc or something? | 19:42 |
| darthanubis | I don't manually play with scripts at all | 19:43 |
| superm1 | no just edit /etc/rc.local | 19:47 |
| darthanubis | wow | 19:48 |
| darthanubis | never knew this was here | 19:48 |
| superm1 | :) | 19:54 |
| olterman_ | zabbadapp: hwhat steps tdo I need to take to get the remote working ? | 20:01 |
| darthanubis | remember when mythtv-setup would stop the backend when it was started, and not just warn that the backend was still running? | 20:14 |
| darthanubis | What happened to that functionality? | 20:15 |
| darthanubis | Seems like some auto-functionailty I'm missing | 20:15 |
| darthanubis | Liek when viewing a recording, then exiting, it used to ask me whether or not I wanted to bookmark/delete/or just leave? | 20:15 |
| darthanubis | What happened to that? | 20:16 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I believe thats an option within mythtv itself | 20:16 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | crawl the setup menu and see if you can find it | 20:16 |
| darthanubis | I keep looking | 20:16 |
| darthanubis | I'm pretty sure I have overlooked it | 20:17 |
| darthanubis | but I must be going blind? | 20:17 |
| darthanubis | setup>tv sttings.playback? | 20:17 |
| darthanubis | excuse my wireless KB | 20:17 |
