| Zinn | superm1: Bug 229949 in mythbuntu "guide slow and unresponsive" [Low, Confirmed] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/229949 | 00:42 |
| devsforev | Good evening everyone. I was curious as to how I change what display mythtv starts on? Currently it's running on :0, but I need it to start on :1. Any thoughts? | 01:03 |
| NTolerance | try putting DISPLAY=:0 in front of your mythfrontend command | 01:16 |
| NTolerance | DISPLAY=:0 mythfrontend --options-here | 01:16 |
| NTolerance | errr | 01:17 |
| NTolerance | DISPLAY=:1 mythfrontend --options-here | 01:17 |
| devsforev | excellent, thanks! that works great. Do you happen to know what script mythfrontend is called from during login when auto-login is enabled? | 01:18 |
| devsforev | nvm, i think i found it | 01:23 |
| devsforev | thanks for your help | 01:23 |
| NTolerance | sweet | 01:44 |
| Cardboardjesus | is somebody able to assist me with tuning of satellite channels? i'm a moron | 02:24 |
| thatdood | i can try | 02:56 |
| squish102 | any1 after upgrading having problems with remotes? | 03:07 |
| javatexan | hey guys I am trying to setup a new frontend machine and it is asking me for the mythconverg information. I can ssh to the mythbackend box and look directly at the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file. I copy/pasted the password right out of the file. For the HostName I used the machine's IP address. But it says the connection failed. The only thing I can think of is in the mysql.txt, DBHostName=localhost on the BE box. Will this caus | 04:08 |
| DogBoy | yea it needs to be set to accept connections from other than localhost | 04:10 |
| DogBoy | mysql does | 04:10 |
| javatexan | do I change that in the mysql.txt and reboot or what? | 04:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | javatexan, enable the mysql service in MCC on the master backend | 04:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then reboot | 04:15 |
| javatexan | tgm4883_laptop: I love mythbuntu :) | 04:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | um | 04:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mythbuntu loves you too ;) | 04:19 |
| javatexan | LOL | 04:19 |
| javatexan | my TIVO likes it now too.... | 04:19 |
| javatexan | they are playing nicely together | 04:20 |
| petriborg | quick stupid question for people - new to mythtv and i was watching a show, and I wanted to make the show to be saved, in one of the menus i found "preserve this episode" but i wasn't sure when it was enabled | 05:06 |
| petriborg | how do i tell? | 05:06 |
| petriborg | if i hit space it becomes darker and says "do not preserve this episode" so i guess this is disabling that? by default it seemed to be "preserve this episode" | 05:07 |
| Cardboardjesus | which capture card type should i be selecting in the backend setup for a happauge nov-s plus card? the manual says "mpeg-2 encorder card (pvr-x50, pvr-500) for all happauge cards. but it says "failed to open" underneith. anybody struck this before? | 06:02 |
| foxbuntu | Cardboardjesus, I think the NOVA-S is a DVB card IIRC | 06:07 |
| Cardboardjesus | so i use what?, the cardtype "dvb dtv capture card v3.x" instead? | 06:09 |

| Belial6_ | I am having trouble with my CommandIR II. It shows the green light after I boot mythbuntu, but the first remote control button I press causes it to go red. Any ideas? | 08:30 |
| Belial6_ | I did notice in dmesg that I get 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = 10' before the first press, and 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = -32' after. This is on two different computer systems. | 08:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest46 | Anyone know how to get mythtv back up and running after upgrading to latest version of mythbuntu? | 11:04 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | Anyone here know how to get a soundcard workign? | 11:30 |
| laga | you need to ask more specific questions | 11:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | Well I have a Turtle Beach Soundcard that used to work and doesn't anymore. | 11:45 |
| laga | well, does it show up in dmesg? | 11:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | Never knew what that was, but yes it shows up...Although it says fails with error -5 | 11:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | That could be because I'm trying to install a driver for it | 11:55 |
| laga | ugh :( | 11:55 |
| laga | "it doesn't work" and "i'm messing with my kernel to get it working" are different things ;) | 11:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | I don't know what messing with kernal means I was trying to follow directions from this site I found. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 11:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | Does the failed with error -5 mean I just need a new sound card | 12:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest36 | Oh well I'll just get a new sound card see if that works...have a good day | 12:04 |

| mrAshley | When trying to transmit from hauppage 150 to dct2000 i get this error: lirc_pvr150: failed to get data for code 0, key 9036 -- check lircd.conf entries | 16:48 |
| mrAshley | i've googled it, but there doesn't seem to be much regarding this. :-/ | 16:49 |
| Shadow__X | hello everyone | 17:43 |
| mrAshley | Hey Shadow. :) | 17:46 |
| NTolerance | Shadow__X: i did my 720p MKV test | 17:49 |
| NTolerance | 30-40% CPU usage on one core | 17:49 |
| Shadow__X | not bad | 17:49 |
| Shadow__X | i guess iw as way off | 17:49 |
| Shadow__X | :) | 17:49 |
| Shadow__X | gladfully so | 17:49 |
| NTolerance | AFAIK deocding MPEG2 should be less CPU intensive, so playback of recorded HD shows in mythtv should be easy | 17:49 |
| Shadow__X | mhm | 17:50 |
| NTolerance | now 1080p MKV might be a different story | 17:51 |
| NTolerance | but i wonder....sine my TV is "only" 720P, does it still decode the whole stream or do I save some CPU because i'm running at a smaller resolution? | 17:51 |
| Shadow__X | afaik it will just run it at 720p | 17:54 |
| Shadow__X | and NTolerance why would you buy a tv that only does 720p :( | 17:54 |
| mrAshley | Shadow__X: got a minute or three? | 17:55 |
| NTolerance | i play games, games run at 720p | 17:55 |
| NTolerance | very little 1080p content out there other than blu-ray | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | hmm yeah but movies dont | 17:56 |
| NTolerance | it's good enough for me, i don't buy into the 1080p hype | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | what system | 17:56 |
| NTolerance | all of them | 17:56 |
| NTolerance | wii/360/ps3 | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | mrAshley, i saw the issue your having | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | dont know how to fix that | 17:56 |
| mrAshley | my ps3 runs at 1080p quite nicely. :) | 17:57 |
| NTolerance | 95% of ps3 games do not run at 1080p | 17:57 |
| Shadow__X | NTolerance, if you get the small games that are like 10 dollars then run at 1080p on ps3 and 360 | 17:57 |
| Shadow__X | :D | 17:57 |
| NTolerance | hmm yeah, not worth the extra 300-400 dollars for 1080p | 17:57 |
| mrAshley | Shadow__X: kthx. :) | 17:57 |
| NTolerance | i really love this whole thing though, go to a deal site like fatwallet, someone finds a good deal on a 720P TV | 17:58 |
| NTolerance | half the replies are like "omg it's only 720p, what's wrong with you!!!!" | 17:58 |
| Shadow__X | heh | 17:58 |
| Shadow__X | well i mean if i could get a tv cheap enough i would get 720- | 17:58 |
| Shadow__X | p | 17:58 |
| NTolerance | mine is a 40" and it's debatable whether you get the benefits of higher resolution at that screen size | 17:59 |
| Shadow__X | hmm it depends how close or far away you are | 18:01 |
| Shadow__X | and your eyes | 18:01 |
| NTolerance | exactly, not worth $400 | 18:01 |
| NTolerance | $400 = PS3 | 18:02 |
| NTolerance | new mythbox | 18:02 |
| NTolerance | savings account | 18:02 |
| NTolerance | who knows | 18:02 |
| NTolerance | beer? | 18:02 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 18:03 |
| Shadow__X | i see the point | 18:03 |
| mrAshley | Shadow__X: try this one then. I've got ubuntu8.04 and i just want to use and ir blaster.. i've configured the mythbuntu control centre.. should it just work, or should i have to dl firmware? any idea? | 18:03 |
| Shadow__X | i might get a 24 inch montior that has pip and use that for tv and mon | 18:03 |
| mrAshley | and = an | 18:03 |
| Shadow__X | mrAshley, you have to tell mytht backend to use it | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | instructions are on the wiki | 18:04 |
| mrAshley | which wiki? | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | i havnt used ir personlaly | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | mythtv.org | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | goto wiki there | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | does no one read anymore | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | :( | 18:04 |
| mrAshley | I've done 3 hours of reading. :P | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | good to hear | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | now read more | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | :D | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | P | 18:05 |

| squish102 | any1 else figting with lirc after upgrading to 8.04? | 18:06 |
| * mrAshley is. | 18:07 | |
| squish102 | it was working just fine before upgrade but now i have nfc what broke | 18:07 |
| squish102 | or how to fix it | 18:07 |
| mrAshley | squish102: Do you have a dmesg error? | 18:07 |
| squish102 | and ive been reading for THREE weeks ;) | 18:07 |
| squish102 | mrAshley i even have lircd running in debug mode and still cannot figure out the problem | 18:08 |
| mrAshley | do you have any error messages? | 18:08 |
| NTolerance | squish102: what remote do you have? | 18:09 |
| squish102 | yes, but i don't know why i have error messages | 18:09 |
| mrAshley | what error message are you getting - and from where? | 18:09 |
| NTolerance | does irw give any output if you press buttons? | 18:09 |
| squish102 | i have a firefly mini and initial setup was following wiki page | 18:09 |
| NTolerance | any of you guys tried the x11vnc service in mythbuntu control center, it doesn't work for me | 18:10 |
| NTolerance | not familiar with firefly mini =\ | 18:10 |
| Shadow__X | it works for me | 18:10 |
| Shadow__X | the vnc thing | 18:10 |
| NTolerance | strange, no x11vnc process was spawned when i tried it | 18:10 |
| NTolerance | did you install it a long time ago or recently? | 18:10 |
| squish102 | NTolerance nothing through irw | 18:11 |
| NTolerance | dang | 18:11 |
| NTolerance | if you restart lirc does it give any errors? | 18:11 |
| NTolerance | what about dmesg ? | 18:11 |
| squish102 | it is like it does not match the IR receiver to the lircd.conf remote | 18:11 |
| Shadow__X | NTolerance, recently | 18:11 |
| Shadow__X | install on mythtbuntu 8.04.1 | 18:11 |
| NTolerance | hmm, maybe i'm crazy, i had vino server running a few mins before i tried x11vnc | 18:11 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 18:12 |
| Shadow__X | maybe | 18:12 |
| squish102 | i will be back when i am in the room with the remote ;) | 18:12 |
| NTolerance | either way, i did the long and hard manual install, documented here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5548895&postcount=58 | 18:12 |
| squish102 | NTolerance i just run vncserver from the command line | 18:12 |
| NTolerance | that's no good for reboots | 18:13 |
| squish102 | and change the xstartup, and hit it on port :2 | 18:13 |
| squish102 | NTolerance yip, i have a couple use services that i put in rc.local | 18:13 |
| NTolerance | my mythbox is a true server, serving up all kinds of crap, everything needs to run as a service for me | 18:13 |
| squish102 | but that is my hack | 18:13 |
| squish102 | i think i resorted to doing it that way, because mine didnt work | 18:14 |
| squish102 | the proper way | 18:14 |
| Shadow__X | NTolerance, for a true server i would want vnc to give me a login screen and login to another session | 18:15 |
| Shadow__X | not sharing whats on the screen | 18:15 |
| squish102 | ^^ that is what mine does | 18:15 |
| Shadow__X | i think sson i am going to need to get a hdvr :( | 18:16 |
| Shadow__X | squish102, did you follow a tut | 18:16 |
| squish102 | nope, maybe once i fix the other 10 things wrong, i will get back to vnc | 18:16 |
| Shadow__X | squish102, howd you set it up | 18:17 |
| squish102 | apt-get install vnc4server and then vncserver ;) | 18:17 |
| NTolerance | Shadow__X: to get into semantics, a true server wouldn't even have a GUI | 18:17 |
| NTolerance | but a true myth server should just give you access to what ever is on the TV | 18:17 |
| NTolerance | :D | 18:17 |
| squish102 | NTolerance are you saying windows 2008 server is not a true server ;) | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | but yeah, a terminal server would give you an X login screen | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | not as true as a linux box :D | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | but hey, i love terminal server | 18:18 |
| squish102 | NTolerance i thought your server was only a backend? | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | can't beat RDP, wish we had something like it on linux | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | it's everything | 18:18 |
| NTolerance | backend, frontend, upnp server, ampache, mpd, web, mysql, samba, nfs, backup storage, etc | 18:19 |
| squish102 | well mine is an everything, but i dont want to interupt my tv viewing with a vnc session? | 18:19 |
| squish102 | NTolerance i will take that, and double it :P (game server, ventrilo server, torrent server etc etc) | 18:20 |
| NTolerance | game server from home? | 18:21 |
| NTolerance | you got FIOS or something? | 18:21 |
| NTolerance | i like VNC on display zero because i have my laptop on a table in front of the TV, so i can put a web browser/youtube on the TV and control it from my laptop, no need to haul out the extra keyboard/mouse | 18:22 |
| Shadow__X | hmm i think the next server i build will be an all in one box | 18:22 |
| Shadow__X | thinking of quad core with like 4 gigs of ram | 18:22 |
| NTolerance | vino is so slow though, i'm running it through a gigabit lan and it's like i'm on a modem | 18:24 |
| NTolerance | all in one box? | 18:30 |
| Shadow__X | mythtvback/frontend webserver mysql server fs and whatever else i can think of | 18:31 |
| Shadow__X | i need a new server | 18:31 |
| NTolerance | you can be cool like me | 18:32 |
| NTolerance | but yeah, i like the mythtv-server workhorse, it keeps my windows machine clean | 18:32 |
| NTolerance | before i'd run the upnp and filesharing and other crap there | 18:32 |
| Shadow__X | hmm yeah | 18:32 |
| Shadow__X | i was thinking of starting with a dual core | 18:32 |
| NTolerance | now it's just strictly for games because the mythbox now does everything | 18:32 |
| Shadow__X | because i have the cpu then moving to a quad | 18:32 |
| NTolerance | hopefully this LGA775 thing will stick around for a while | 18:33 |
| Shadow__X | eh | 18:33 |
| Shadow__X | maybe one more release imo | 18:34 |
| NTolerance | =\ | 18:34 |
| NTolerance | i fondly remember the socket 7 and slot 1 days | 18:34 |
| NTolerance | you'd go 5 years before you'd need a new mobo | 18:34 |
| NTolerance | now it's like every 8 months | 18:34 |
| Shadow__X | eh | 18:39 |
| Shadow__X | not 8 months | 18:39 |
| Shadow__X | like 1.5 years | 18:39 |
| NTolerance | i exaggerated | 18:39 |
| NTolerance | but still | 18:39 |
| Shadow__X | if you got a good mb to start with | 18:39 |
| Shadow__X | hmm what linux player supports connecting to mythtv backend with commerical skip | 18:49 |
| NTolerance | totem and vlc don't do it? | 18:55 |
| NTolerance | i got my totem mythtv plugin working halfway yesterday | 18:57 |
| NTolerance | found the option to bind mysql to ethernet in mythcontrol center | 18:57 |
| NTolerance | i can now get the show list, but then it says it can't play myth:// addresses | 18:57 |
| NTolerance | i think it's because i'm using totem-xine | 18:57 |
| Shadow__X | yeah or just install all the gstreamer plugins | 18:58 |
| Shadow__X | to support playing mpeg2 | 18:58 |
| NTolerance | hmm, hope that will work, totem-gstreamer is worthless | 18:59 |
| Shadow__X | ah how come | 18:59 |
| NTolerance | doesn't play dvds properly | 19:00 |
| Shadow__X | ah | 19:00 |
| NTolerance | Shadow__X: | 19:39 |
| NTolerance | totem-gstreamer would always jump to some arbitrary spot on the DVD instead of starting from the beginning | 19:39 |
| NTolerance | could never get to the title menu | 19:39 |
| Shadow__X | ah | 19:39 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 19:39 |
| Shadow__X | does mythtv plugin work though | 19:39 |
| NTolerance | plus i couldn't get libdvdnav4 working w/ it | 19:39 |
| NTolerance | dunno, i might test it later | 19:39 |
| Shadow__X | k | 19:40 |
| N0cturn0 | can anyone help me with a hauppauge-350 not picking up channels? | 20:15 |
| lokus | foxbuntu u around? | 20:44 |
| jarle | On my mac mini frontend I have stereo sound through the optical output working just fine, however when I play DTS/AC3 I get no sound. Anybody have surround sound working on a mac mini frontend? | 21:46 |
