[00:45] where do i modify it? [00:46] if I goto setup--> general it is the ip address of the backend. [00:47] Laga>is there another place? [00:47] there are two ip addresses listed there [00:47] what are these? [00:49] I only see the one in general. Hostname: 192.168.0.156 [00:50] which is the backend [00:51] there should be another one below [00:52] all on this page is ; ping test server port;database name; usre; password [00:54] laga, am i in the right place? [00:56] probably not ;) i can't look right now because i shut down my master backend [00:57] but your problem really is a FAQ, it'd be surprised if google didn't turn up something [00:57] "mythtv remote frontend" might be a good starting point for google [00:58] Ill see what turns up [00:59] is it located in the setup or in the control center? [01:00] 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 ;) [01:01] it's necessary to configure your master backend correctly and to have the correct information for the mysql server on the remote frontend [01:06] in general setup on the server the is 2 ipaddress both the same as above [01:15] Where may I get 8.04 instead of 8.04.1? [01:16] um. nowhere, probably. why would you want to do that? [01:17] 8.04.1 install doesn't really work for me. I tried multiple times but it has weird issues. [01:18] I might just put ubuntu 8.04 and then add mythbuntu on there...that should work. [01:18] well, 8.04 shouldn't be much better - these point releases shouldn't introduce regressions [01:18] why don't you report these issues in the bug tracker? http://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu === jalex_ is now known as jalex [01:55] please guys i need help [01:56] !ask [01:56] 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. [01:57] The 8.04.1 alt iso seems to have some inconsistencies with the cdrom identity and apt-get. [01:57] I run mythtv-setup for the first time but I get error about database [01:57] xubuntu installed ok...I'll just add mythbuntu after the fact. [01:58] massi: I've only setup mythtv form the source, so far. you are using the mythbuntu packages? [01:58] jalex: yes [01:59] and you put in the mysql info ? mysql pass is in /etc/mysql.txt or somewhere like that. [01:59] (in case you forgot from the install screen [01:59] I ve found 2 passw in mysql.txt [01:59] wich ones? [01:59] maybe one is the username? [02:00] 1 pass is mythtv and tthe other one is h38jid or something [02:00] username is mythtv as well [02:01] so the correct one is "DBPassword" value? [02:02] try them in the terminal [02:02] mysql -u mythtv -p [02:02] and enter what you think the pass is [02:02] i ve got ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [02:04] i ve tried without password and I ve got "mysql>" prompt [02:05] hah, that's funny. [02:05] don't enter a mysql pass in mythtv-setup then [02:06] i've just tried but it does not change nothig - i ve got error "cannot find (ping) database host on the network" [02:08] crud, what do you know. my hard drive is going seriously bad...well, that accounts for the install issues. [03:11] just had a HDD die on my old Gutsy mythtv setup [03:11] restoring went beautifully [03:11] just copied the recording directory over and restored the mysql database [05:55] 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? [05:59] Possibly heat [05:59] (or many other things) [06:04] Alright, I've been trying to get off this Mythbuntu developers email list for months. How the hell do I get off? [06:05] Look at the source of the email, it more than likely has unsubscribe instructions. [06:05] 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] I've followed those instructions about 10 times now. [06:11] levander: the one about the team meeting? [06:11] yeah [06:24] levander: you should be removed [06:24] I hope so. They've said that the last 3 times I've come in here fussing. [06:24] you may still get an email tomorrow, but you shouldn't get them for any new meetings === nt is now known as NTolerance [14:19] . [16:46] How can I change the subtitles in mplayer, or if that's not possible, switch to VLC as the standard video player? [16:55] 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 [16:56] anyone here know anything about mythbuntu 8.04 and Hauppauge dvb nova t 500 [16:57] I have installed a fresh install and can scan channels but cannot get mythtv to start up (ie show any tv ) [16:57] olterman: i use mythbuntu 8.04 (upgraded from 7.10) and a T-500 [16:57] zabbadapp: cool [16:57] zabbadapp: what did you have to do to get an image etc [16:58] do you know it works outside of myth? [16:58] well not really [16:58] new card [16:58] and new install [16:58] never had a tv card before [16:58] how can i test it [16:59] it seems to load fine in /var/log/messages [16:59] and I can get channel names from it that is as far as I get [16:59] but I dont know what to test really [17:00] do you have the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/options: "options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1" [17:00] yes [17:01] ill dubbel check that I think I put that in another file [17:01] hang on [17:01] yes i do [17:02] and the firmware has loaded? (dmesg | grep -i dvb) [17:02] yes [17:02] it starts cold loads firmware states that it found it warm etc [17:04] "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/-" [17:04] (oops, two scan .. only one of course) [17:04] your closest transmitter should be in that dvb-t-directory [17:05] hmm ok then I need to install my modem on that machine [17:05] Ill try that and then come back [17:05] no net? :-) [17:06] not on the mythbox [17:06] ok .. you don't have to if you can get a channels.conf file some other way [17:06] isnt that what I get when I scan for channels ? [17:07] yes, but then you can put that in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf and run "mplayer dvb://@ " ... i.e. mplayer dvb://1@TV3 [17:09] 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 [17:10] what does the internals of channel.conf look like [17:10] (btw: i never get any sound when I play tv with mplayer on the dvb-device like that, but i get picture .. good enough) [17:11] 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] you in sweden? [17:11] kul [17:11] yes .. jaha [17:12] jag är Svensk i exil (London) [17:13] ojoj, många freeview-kanaler där!! ("many freeview channels over there" -- for the non swedes) [17:19] can anyone explain to me the differences in playback profiles? [17:20] 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 [17:24] 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] hrm [17:24] well [17:24] i am using this for HD and SD [17:25] and i'm using an onboard geforece 6150 [17:25] what cpu? [17:25] x2 3200+, i think [17:27] make that an x2 3600+ [17:27] in any case on the CPU+ profile, there seems to be a slight audio sync problem [17:28] on high def stuff at least [17:28] 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? [17:29] ok intenet on the mythbuntu machine [17:29] could you give me that line to do with dvb-utils again [17:30] zabbadapp: ??? [17:30] scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/se-Vannas > channels.txt [17:30] i had hd running correctly w/ xvmc before i updated / reinstalled in the box [17:31] 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) [17:32] olterman_: apt-get install dvb-utils ? [17:32] done it [17:32] resource busy [17:32] need to kill myth I guess [17:32] mythbacknd is locking it [17:32] really? xvmc can't be deinterlaced? thought that they had limited options, but still some [17:33] olterman_: (yes, and there is an option as i said to make myth release the dev when not recording anything) [17:35] 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 [17:36] 8 bit is grayscale? huh [17:36] yea, i think that i had it enabled for hd and disabled for sd [17:36] hmm [17:36] no, but it is the easiest way to convert a 24-bit osd-graphics into something that looks ok-ish in 256 colors [17:37] the myth-people never bothered to implement fancy dithering to make it look better, because 256 colors will still look bad :-) [17:37] ah [17:38] xvmc can be deinterlaced, AFAIK [17:38] the slim profile seems to work ok... [17:38] the options are bob and one field [17:38] zabbadapp: ok that works perfectly [17:38] yeah, the slim profile seems to work for most people.. it should be the default IMHO [17:38] still no go in myth [17:38] mplayer rocks with sound [17:39] so what is the diff between xvideo and xvmc? [17:39] 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. [17:40] i see [17:41] zabbadapp: got any advice now ta [17:41] 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] zabbadapp: that I know the card works [17:42] olterman_: great ... hmm, what happens when you start live-tv? [17:42] I get blacksvcreen and then back to menu [17:43] if you start a recording? are you tail -f :ing the mythbackend-log? [17:44] I vcant start a recording I [17:44] do you have correct permissions so myth can store the stream to disk? [17:44] zabbadapp: hmm [17:44] my directoruy is in my home catalogue [17:44] that is [17:44] my user has permissions ... does myth run as me otr mythtv [17:45] as user mythtv [17:45] hmm [17:45] ok [17:46] ill try that then [17:50] ok it works now but how do I [17:50] change channels [17:51] arrow up/down [17:52] 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 [17:53] I can only ewatch ` [17:53] I cant change at all [17:54] I get teh view of all the channels and the shows [17:54] I can miove up and down [17:54] but when I hit enter I get a menu of do not record etc [17:55] any suggestions _ [17:57] 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 [17:59] 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) [18:21] do the myth-reboot and myth-halt scripts work? [18:27] nm... works when there is no ssh session connected [19:26] 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 ... [19:32] just the guide miv2 ? [19:32] or general usage in menus etc too? [19:32] General use [19:33] well so as to rule out mythtv bugs, i'd say go and give irw a shot [19:33] 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] and see if its reading delayed on those too [19:33] irw workes in "realtime" [19:33] as does MPlayer [19:33] I'd like to know how to get mythzmserver to run upon boot like it used to before .21? [19:34] miv2, then in your ~/.mythtv/lircrc, do you have repeat/delay in use at all? [19:34] darthanubis, does it need user information? [19:34] or is it just a daemon app [19:35] 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] superm1, just a daemon app [19:35] no user info [19:36] the funny thing is also, that the CPU is not used while the system freezes ... [19:36] I have to manually run mythzmserver from CLI [19:36] darthanubis, then maybe just /etc/rc.local [19:36] miv2, well that's crazyness then :) [19:36] I thought of that [19:36] but it really is not a script? [19:37] its a binary [19:37] the web says to have zoneminder start it from zm.conf. But I have yet to figure that one out? [19:38] I just am wondering why do I have to do this now, when before just installing mythzmserver just ran [19:38] zoneminder is set up and working [19:38] there is a bug report about it [19:39] does not look like it will ever get resolved though? [19:39] well we are very far behind on bugs yes, but hopefully someday resolved :) [19:39] you can launch binaries from /etc/rc.local though [19:39] so that would work [19:42] thx [19:42] I have to copy or symlink the bin to the script dir, then run update.rc or something? [19:43] I don't manually play with scripts at all [19:47] no just edit /etc/rc.local [19:48] wow [19:48] never knew this was here [19:54] :) [20:01] zabbadapp: hwhat steps tdo I need to take to get the remote working ? [20:14] remember when mythtv-setup would stop the backend when it was started, and not just warn that the backend was still running? [20:15] What happened to that functionality? [20:15] Seems like some auto-functionailty I'm missing [20:15] Liek when viewing a recording, then exiting, it used to ask me whether or not I wanted to bookmark/delete/or just leave? [20:16] What happened to that? [20:16] I believe thats an option within mythtv itself [20:16] crawl the setup menu and see if you can find it [20:16] I keep looking [20:17] I'm pretty sure I have overlooked it [20:17] but I must be going blind? [20:17] setup>tv sttings.playback? [20:17] excuse my wireless KB [20:30] anyone know how to get the remote to work on hauppauge nova t 500 [20:53] need help with hauppauge 500 nova t getting the roemote to work [20:56] Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [fail] [20:56] have followed every howto there is [20:57] dont know where to get better feedback to troubleshoot [21:01] any help with a tremote _ ? [21:01] zabbadapp: e du daer ? [21:27] anyone here ? [22:44] Hi there! Would anybody give me a hand trying to get a front-end running? I've got a realiable backend running [22:46] I followed the instructions of mythbuntu's page turn ubuntu into mythbuntu, when I type in the terminal mythfrontend I get no application opened. [22:58] I'm wondering if there is any way to easily watch videos from an external HDD from the MythFrontend UI... [23:08] . [23:11] ok, I messed up the database on my Mythbuntu 8.40 box [23:11] I have a backend/fronend box, and a box currenly running the live CD [23:11] I could not get it to connect [23:12] the live cd to the backend server [23:12] I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database, as recomended, and afterwords, neither is able to access the database [23:17] . [23:34] Hi there! Would anybody give me a hand trying to get a front-end running? I've got a realiable backend running [23:54] . [23:59] whatcha need help with? [23:59] its better to just ask your question then askin if anyones here to give you help
