=== superm1|away is now known as superm1 [01:44] does anyone know how I can get libfaad to compile into the trunk? [03:02] Can someone help me with arccos? I've heard dd_rescue can work through this? [03:05] dd_rescue /dev/dvd /wherever/youwant/your.iso /wherever/youwant/your.iso.log [03:05] let it run for a while, when its only choking on errors you can ^c it and your iso should be good [03:05] it will skip errors and come back to them later, and if you ^c you can resume if you made the log [03:08] cool [03:36] 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? [04:25] tv_, generally not enough video ram is being allocated [04:25] tv_, there may be xorg parameters to control this or bios settings [04:36] 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. === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop === quentusrex_lapto is now known as quentusrex [15:23] Hey all [15:24] 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] 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 [15:25] the Nvidia I never had any luck with, but apparently there was a bug preventing nvidia-settings from maintaining a decent resolution [15:39] hi, can anyone say if there's some reason why mplayer is used instead of internal player per default for playing videos? [15:39] nothing we did to force that [15:39] its how upstream mythtv distributes it [15:40] hmm, and mythtv devels say that internal has been default for a long time or so :) [15:40] hmm interesting. [15:40] was this an upgrade install? [15:40] or an addon to an existing backend etc? [15:41] not an upgrade, clean installation, though iirc I used alternative cd to make the base system and then installed mythbuntu metapackage [15:41] well that would give the same result at least [15:42] it's not the default for some file types AFAIK [15:44] ah, seemed to be an upstream issue [15:44] only dvd player was changed to internal.. so 0.22 will perhaps use internal as default for videos too [15:51] in all honesty internal is nice, but just doesn't work for some things === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [16:19] okay, I put the nvidia card back in, still no dice with getting it to display properly on the HDTV [16:20] 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 === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [16:33] hmm, which is way to go for lirc configs, ~/.mythtv/lircrc or ~/.lirc/mythtv? [16:35] typically ~/.mythtv/lircrc is a symlink to ~/.lirc/mythtv [16:35] after you run mythbuntu-lirc-generator [16:36] ah, yes it is.. just run mythbuntu-lirc.. and -lircrc-generators [16:39] btw, should signal meter work without any configurations? [16:39] f7 does nothing in my installation, for reason or another [16:40] you mean the key to turn on signal meter? [16:40] it depends on the device whether or not its functional [16:40] some dvb devices don't properly report [16:46] aa, ok. could be that. though it doesn't get displayed at all [16:46] but on channel change it tells the snr and stuff though [16:53] oh well the key being bound, again we don't stray from upstream's keybinds [16:58] ok, just wondering as myth's wiki lists f7 to show the meter.ö perhaps that's been changed since it was written or something [19:34] 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] 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? [19:37] balz: you normally have to hit the chup/down and then hit enter [19:38] rhpot1991_laptop: let me try that real quick [19:38] no go [19:39] i can see the ir reciever lighting up but that's it [19:41] 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... [19:43] if they don't match up that could do it [19:44] rhpot1991_laptop: I admit i'm a bit lost... what should i do? [19:44] run irw hit the buttons see what its sending, then go make those the keybindings [19:45] in the config file or in the myth frontend? [19:46] frontend is the easiest [19:52] okay i'll try that. thanks [19:58] 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 [20:15] 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? [20:18] zinkeldonk: your frontend/backend is on a different machine? [20:20] Ja. I want them to be. I don't want a noisy fan in my living room....And hard disks = noise.... [20:21] 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] Or that's what I was thinking. [20:21] 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] and it shoudl configure automatically [20:22] Ok. I understood from a friend that mythbuntu still had some problems. So thought I would try install from ubuntu... [20:22] Gives me a chance to see how it all slings together. [20:22] sure. mythbuntu doesn't have any problems that i've come across [20:22] it's a bit gutted but that's about it [20:22] Ok. Perhaps I'll give it a whirl then.... [20:22] but either way the setup should be pretty easy [20:23] and to be perfectly honest, i run a combined myth frontend/backend and it's not very noisy [20:23] Got it installed on USB stick right now....so boots off that and is beautifully silent! [20:24] Using an EPIA LN mini-itx motherboard for the front-end. [20:24] Or am trying that.... [20:26] oh wow [20:26] that's a nice setup [20:27] Well.I gotta get it to work first...then I will gloat :-) [20:28] 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..... [20:29] right. that's absolutely true [20:30] the pvr goes int he backend [20:30] I guess I could make the EPIA board both the backend and the front-end with the database residing in the attic server.... [20:31] well let me ask you a question [20:31] In the end, I want the 500G HHD in the attic, and the database...but that should be possible surely... [20:31] how many frontends are you planning on having? [20:31] Mounting the videos/whatever over NFS [20:31] or nbd or some such thing. [20:31] For now, 1 [20:32] 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] But if this works, I'd like to set this up at our remote (oil-rig) type site at work. [20:32] and that should take care of the greater part of the nosie issue [20:33] Good point balz.....Ja. What you're suggesting is exactly what I want... [20:33] I could install the MySQL on the attic server surely....and just point the backend there.... [20:33] yeah, but why bother? [20:34] I guess 'cause I got limited storage on the USB stick.... [20:34] couldn't you use another one? [20:34] I could put in another USB stick to store the mySQL database [20:34] Sure. [20:34] have a stick for the backend/frontend and a stick for the mysql [20:34] yeah [20:34] i'd do that [20:35] 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] trust me, it's enough of a pain to get one combined server workign lol [20:35] well that's kind of a problem of the past anyway [20:35] Oh. Ok. Well, I'm about to find that out :-) [20:35] and there won't be that many write ops once it's configured [20:35] =) [20:35] Ja. [20:36] 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] Does anybody know why I can't change channels with my MCE remote? [20:36] I need to do more reading on myth [20:36] right [20:37] I wouldn't even displace the mysql database. just buy a bigger flash drive [20:37] unless you're on a strict budget [20:37] Ja. You've convinced me. Thanks mate. [20:37] haha no problem [20:37] good luck! [20:37] Not really. Well...not an endless budget of the boss-lady will swat me.... [20:38] But certainly it'll extend to a couple more USB keys.... [20:38] haha yeah i know the feeling [20:38] haha well that's a start [20:38] :-D [20:38] Women... you can't live them and you can't live without them [20:38] Something like that.... [20:39] Alright mate. Thanks again for the advice. Heading for Neverland now. Cheers. [20:40] haha alright. take care [20:40] 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 [20:54] 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] you using an HDTV or LCD monitor? [21:06] I am using an LCD with a resolution of 1280x1024 [21:10] Easy_Rider9999: one sec [21:15] Easy_Rider9999: do you use a TV along w/ the monitor? [21:15] TV-Out is no more available after I switched to DVI [21:16] 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] very little difference between DVI and VGA, especially at that resolution [21:18] I will try this solution, perhaps there will be an update of the Nvidia driver sometime [21:18] thanks [21:18] it's also wise to stick w/ the driver in the repositories [21:18] better support and easier to work with [21:18] manually installing drivers is troublesome because you have to re-do it each time a new kernel update is released [21:28] hello everyone [21:29] out of the blue i am getting no lock on my hvr-1800 but my 1600 works fine [22:10] when i click watch tv on the main menu it displays 1 frame, sometimes only a half a frame, then freezes for a bit and displays another. Any idea how to fix this? Hardware: ATI TV Wonder Pro and ATI Radeon 9550 (both work fine on Mythdora so not an issue with MythTV) I like Mythbuntu more so if possible I'd like to make it work. [22:11] check the log files in /var/log/mythtv/ [22:18] oo sorry [22:18] what should i be looking for errors in general? [23:11] frink_, ping [23:45] laga: http://pastebin.com/m58dc3dfd (backend) http://pastebin.com/m1bcf9d53 (frontend) or anyone else who wants to help me these are the errors i'm getting from the frontend log and backend log. In the frontend i highlighted the **May be very slow** part because this is the problem i'm having after clicking Watch TV. [23:46] kemic: what VGA card to you have? [23:47] radeon 9550 [23:48] okay, can you pastebin the output of "xvinfo"? [23:48] sure sec.. [23:50] http://pastebin.com/m70a83f16 [23:51] problem i assume [23:52] yeah. can i take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [23:54] sec === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [23:57] http://pastebin.com/d1fd65b82 [23:59] anyideas?
