| dherman | does anyone know how I can get libfaad to compile into the trunk? | 01:44 |

| q_a_z_steve | Can someone help me with arccos? I've heard dd_rescue can work through this? | 03:02 |
| rhpot1991 | dd_rescue /dev/dvd /wherever/youwant/your.iso /wherever/youwant/your.iso.log | 03:05 |
| rhpot1991 | let it run for a while, when its only choking on errors you can ^c it and your iso should be good | 03:05 |
| rhpot1991 | it will skip errors and come back to them later, and if you ^c you can resume if you made the log | 03:05 |
| q_a_z_steve | cool | 03:08 |
| tv_ | Can anyone tell me why I get only a blue screen with mythbuntu when playing HD content? I think it's my intel 915 video but I am not sure what the correct fix is... all I can find is old fixes for Feisty and earlier... what's the fix for the latest mythbuntu? | 03:36 |
| superm1 | tv_, generally not enough video ram is being allocated | 04:25 |
| superm1 | tv_, there may be xorg parameters to control this or bios settings | 04:25 |
| tv_ | superm1, thanks... I am trying to update the system bios now... it's a bit old... if that doesn't work I will see how much ram is currently allocated in the bios configuration... finally I will try the different XORG settings. | 04:36 |

| Belboz99 | Hey all | 15:23 |
| Belboz99 | anyone know if there's a quick way to get either an NVidia MX400 or an ATI Radeon 7000 to display at 1920x1080 on an LCD TV? | 15:24 |
| Belboz99 | I know it works with the Radeon 7000, it did when I first installed, and for about 3 months after, but then it broke with an update or something | 15:24 |
| Belboz99 | the Nvidia I never had any luck with, but apparently there was a bug preventing nvidia-settings from maintaining a decent resolution | 15:25 |
| teprrr | hi, can anyone say if there's some reason why mplayer is used instead of internal player per default for playing videos? | 15:39 |
| superm1 | nothing we did to force that | 15:39 |
| superm1 | its how upstream mythtv distributes it | 15:39 |
| teprrr | hmm, and mythtv devels say that internal has been default for a long time or so :) | 15:40 |
| superm1 | hmm interesting. | 15:40 |
| superm1 | was this an upgrade install? | 15:40 |
| superm1 | or an addon to an existing backend etc? | 15:40 |
| teprrr | not an upgrade, clean installation, though iirc I used alternative cd to make the base system and then installed mythbuntu metapackage | 15:41 |
| superm1 | well that would give the same result at least | 15:41 |
| laga | it's not the default for some file types AFAIK | 15:42 |
| teprrr | ah, seemed to be an upstream issue | 15:44 |
| teprrr | only dvd player was changed to internal.. so 0.22 will perhaps use internal as default for videos too | 15:44 |
| jphillip | in all honesty internal is nice, but just doesn't work for some things | 15:51 |
| === superm1 is now known as superm1|away | ||
| Belboz99 | okay, I put the nvidia card back in, still no dice with getting it to display properly on the HDTV | 16:19 |
| Belboz99 | what's really bugging the heck out of me is why I can properly enable the nvidia driver, yet the nvidia-settings tool doesn't detect the driver | 16:20 |
| === superm1|away is now known as superm1 | ||
| teprrr | hmm, which is way to go for lirc configs, ~/.mythtv/lircrc or ~/.lirc/mythtv? | 16:33 |
| superm1 | typically ~/.mythtv/lircrc is a symlink to ~/.lirc/mythtv | 16:35 |
| superm1 | after you run mythbuntu-lirc-generator | 16:35 |
| teprrr | ah, yes it is.. just run mythbuntu-lirc.. and -lircrc-generators | 16:36 |
| teprrr | btw, should signal meter work without any configurations? | 16:39 |
| teprrr | f7 does nothing in my installation, for reason or another | 16:39 |
| superm1 | you mean the key to turn on signal meter? | 16:40 |
| superm1 | it depends on the device whether or not its functional | 16:40 |
| superm1 | some dvb devices don't properly report | 16:40 |
| teprrr | aa, ok. could be that. though it doesn't get displayed at all | 16:46 |
| teprrr | but on channel change it tells the snr and stuff though | 16:46 |
| superm1 | oh well the key being bound, again we don't stray from upstream's keybinds | 16:53 |
| teprrr | ok, just wondering as myth's wiki lists f7 to show the meter.รถ perhaps that's been changed since it was written or something | 16:58 |
| balz | I'm using a PVR-150 with a MCE remote (dark grey) and i can't change channels using the channel up/down buttons. I can, hoewver select channels 1 through 9 using the number buttons. Why is this? | 19:34 |
| balz | I'm using a PVR-150 with a MCE remote (dark grey) and i can't change channels using the channel up/down buttons. I can, hoewver select channels 1 through 9 using the number buttons. Why is this? | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | balz: you normally have to hit the chup/down and then hit enter | 19:37 |
| balz | rhpot1991_laptop: let me try that real quick | 19:38 |
| balz | no go | 19:38 |
| balz | i can see the ir reciever lighting up but that's it | 19:39 |
| balz | rhpot1991_laptop: do you think it could have something to do with the keybindings in the mythtv frontend? I tried setting the channel up/down to a few different things with the remote and the channel buttons come up as up/down just like the rup down arrow buttons... | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | if they don't match up that could do it | 19:43 |
| balz | rhpot1991_laptop: I admit i'm a bit lost... what should i do? | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | run irw hit the buttons see what its sending, then go make those the keybindings | 19:44 |
| balz | in the config file or in the myth frontend? | 19:45 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | frontend is the easiest | 19:46 |
| balz | okay i'll try that. thanks | 19:52 |
| balz | rhpot1991_laptop: ugh my monitor is out and i can't read anything on the tv screen. If you have a few minutes, do you think you could ssh in and help me out? If you're busy that's fine | 19:58 |
| zinkeldonk | from what I've read, I want to put the video capture card (Hauppage PVR-150) in the front-end host, and just run the database on the backend server. Is this an acceptable way of doing things? | 20:15 |
| balz | zinkeldonk: your frontend/backend is on a different machine? | 20:18 |
| zinkeldonk | Ja. I want them to be. I don't want a noisy fan in my living room....And hard disks = noise.... | 20:20 |
| zinkeldonk | So want to have my capture card in fan-less machine in living room and it must NFS mount the movies/whatever from the fan'ned machine elsewhere... | 20:21 |
| zinkeldonk | Or that's what I was thinking. | 20:21 |
| balz | right: well if you install from the mythbuntu iso (which i strongly reccommend), or maybe even when you first install mythtv, you have the option to do an advanced setup and this will allow you to define a separate frontend/backend | 20:21 |
| balz | and it shoudl configure automatically | 20:21 |
| zinkeldonk | Ok. I understood from a friend that mythbuntu still had some problems. So thought I would try install from ubuntu... | 20:22 |
| zinkeldonk | Gives me a chance to see how it all slings together. | 20:22 |
| balz | sure. mythbuntu doesn't have any problems that i've come across | 20:22 |
| balz | it's a bit gutted but that's about it | 20:22 |
| zinkeldonk | Ok. Perhaps I'll give it a whirl then.... | 20:22 |
| balz | but either way the setup should be pretty easy | 20:22 |
| balz | and to be perfectly honest, i run a combined myth frontend/backend and it's not very noisy | 20:23 |
| zinkeldonk | Got it installed on USB stick right now....so boots off that and is beautifully silent! | 20:23 |
| zinkeldonk | Using an EPIA LN mini-itx motherboard for the front-end. | 20:24 |
| zinkeldonk | Or am trying that.... | 20:24 |
| balz | oh wow | 20:26 |
| balz | that's a nice setup | 20:26 |
| zinkeldonk | Well.I gotta get it to work first...then I will gloat :-) | 20:27 |
| zinkeldonk | All the reading indicates tho that I need to have capture card in the backend....which could be a pain from an IR perspecive as well as having to re-route the arial cable..... | 20:28 |
| balz | right. that's absolutely true | 20:29 |
| balz | the pvr goes int he backend | 20:30 |
| zinkeldonk | I guess I could make the EPIA board both the backend and the front-end with the database residing in the attic server.... | 20:30 |
| balz | well let me ask you a question | 20:31 |
| zinkeldonk | In the end, I want the 500G HHD in the attic, and the database...but that should be possible surely... | 20:31 |
| balz | how many frontends are you planning on having? | 20:31 |
| zinkeldonk | Mounting the videos/whatever over NFS | 20:31 |
| zinkeldonk | or nbd or some such thing. | 20:31 |
| zinkeldonk | For now, 1 | 20:31 |
| balz | because if i were you, i'd have a combined frontend/backend server in your main viewing area, but have the storage take place somehwere else either over nfs or samba | 20:32 |
| zinkeldonk | But if this works, I'd like to set this up at our remote (oil-rig) type site at work. | 20:32 |
| balz | and that should take care of the greater part of the nosie issue | 20:32 |
| zinkeldonk | Good point balz.....Ja. What you're suggesting is exactly what I want... | 20:33 |
| zinkeldonk | I could install the MySQL on the attic server surely....and just point the backend there.... | 20:33 |
| balz | yeah, but why bother? | 20:33 |
| zinkeldonk | I guess 'cause I got limited storage on the USB stick.... | 20:34 |
| balz | couldn't you use another one? | 20:34 |
| zinkeldonk | I could put in another USB stick to store the mySQL database | 20:34 |
| zinkeldonk | Sure. | 20:34 |
| balz | have a stick for the backend/frontend and a stick for the mysql | 20:34 |
| balz | yeah | 20:34 |
| balz | i'd do that | 20:34 |
| zinkeldonk | Excellent. I am note sure how long these USB sticks will last given that they have a limited write lifespan...but hey....they're cheap as dirt. | 20:35 |
| balz | trust me, it's enough of a pain to get one combined server workign lol | 20:35 |
| balz | well that's kind of a problem of the past anyway | 20:35 |
| zinkeldonk | Oh. Ok. Well, I'm about to find that out :-) | 20:35 |
| balz | and there won't be that many write ops once it's configured | 20:35 |
| balz | =) | 20:35 |
| zinkeldonk | Ja. | 20:35 |
| zinkeldonk | I guess the really big files will come over the NFS/samba mount....but Mysql, it that only to store the indexes of what's available... | 20:36 |
| balz | Does anybody know why I can't change channels with my MCE remote? | 20:36 |
| zinkeldonk | I need to do more reading on myth | 20:36 |
| balz | right | 20:36 |
| balz | I wouldn't even displace the mysql database. just buy a bigger flash drive | 20:37 |
| balz | unless you're on a strict budget | 20:37 |
| zinkeldonk | Ja. You've convinced me. Thanks mate. | 20:37 |
| balz | haha no problem | 20:37 |
| balz | good luck! | 20:37 |
| zinkeldonk | Not really. Well...not an endless budget of the boss-lady will swat me.... | 20:37 |
| zinkeldonk | But certainly it'll extend to a couple more USB keys.... | 20:38 |
| balz | haha yeah i know the feeling | 20:38 |
| balz | haha well that's a start | 20:38 |
| zinkeldonk | :-D | 20:38 |
| balz | Women... you can't live them and you can't live without them | 20:38 |
| zinkeldonk | Something like that.... | 20:38 |
| zinkeldonk | Alright mate. Thanks again for the advice. Heading for Neverland now. Cheers. | 20:39 |
| balz | haha alright. take care | 20:40 |
| balz | I'm unable to change channels using my MCE remote (that otherwise works beatuifully) What gives? Anybody know how i can start diagnosing the problem? I'm able to change the channels if I use the number buttons but not with the channel up/down buttons | 20:40 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | hallo! After attaching a screen with DVI suddenly live TV is messy (before I had vga) and the TV-OUT is not available (I have Geforce 6200) Should I use another driver instead of the proprietary ones? | 20:54 |
| NTolerance | you using an HDTV or LCD monitor? | 20:54 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | I am using an LCD with a resolution of 1280x1024 | 21:06 |
| NTolerance | Easy_Rider9999: one sec | 21:10 |
| NTolerance | Easy_Rider9999: do you use a TV along w/ the monitor? | 21:15 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | TV-Out is no more available after I switched to DVI | 21:15 |
| NTolerance | i don't have a complete solution for you, but it seems like just going w/ the VGA is better than messing about w/ drivers and such | 21:16 |
| NTolerance | very little difference between DVI and VGA, especially at that resolution | 21:16 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | I will try this solution, perhaps there will be an update of the Nvidia driver sometime | 21:18 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | thanks | 21:18 |
| NTolerance | it's also wise to stick w/ the driver in the repositories | 21:18 |
| NTolerance | better support and easier to work with | 21:18 |
| NTolerance | manually installing drivers is troublesome because you have to re-do it each time a new kernel update is released | 21:18 |
