[01:44] <dherman> does anyone know how I can get libfaad to compile into the trunk?
[03:02] <q_a_z_steve> Can someone help me with arccos? I've heard dd_rescue can work through this?
[03:05] <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
[03:08] <q_a_z_steve> cool
[03:36] <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?
[04:25] <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
[04:36] <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.
[15:23] <Belboz99> Hey all
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <Belboz99> the Nvidia I never had any luck with, but apparently there was a bug preventing nvidia-settings from maintaining a decent resolution
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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?
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <laga> it's not the default for some file types AFAIK
[15:44] <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
[15:51] <jphillip> in all honesty internal is nice, but just doesn't work for some things
[16:19] <Belboz99> okay, I put the nvidia card back in, still no dice with getting it to display properly on the HDTV
[16:20] <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
[16:33] <teprrr> hmm, which is way to go for lirc configs, ~/.mythtv/lircrc or ~/.lirc/mythtv?
[16:35] <superm1> typically ~/.mythtv/lircrc is a symlink to ~/.lirc/mythtv
[16:35] <superm1> after you run mythbuntu-lirc-generator
[16:36] <teprrr> ah, yes it is.. just run mythbuntu-lirc.. and -lircrc-generators
[16:39] <teprrr> btw, should signal meter work without any configurations?
[16:39] <teprrr> f7 does nothing in my installation, for reason or another
[16:40] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:53] <superm1> oh well the key being bound, again we don't stray from upstream's keybinds
[16:58] <teprrr> 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] <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] <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?
[19:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> balz: you normally have to hit the chup/down and then hit enter
[19:38] <balz> rhpot1991_laptop:  let me try that real quick
[19:38] <balz> no go
[19:39] <balz> i can see the ir reciever lighting up but that's it
[19:41] <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...
[19:43] <rhpot1991_laptop> if they don't match up that could do it
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <balz> in the config file or in the myth frontend?
[19:46] <rhpot1991_laptop> frontend is the easiest
[19:52] <balz> okay i'll try that. thanks
[19:58] <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
[20:15] <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?
[20:18] <balz> zinkeldonk:  your frontend/backend is on a different machine?
[20:20] <zinkeldonk> Ja. I want them to be. I don't want a noisy fan in my living room....And hard disks = noise....
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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!
[20:24] <zinkeldonk> Using an EPIA LN mini-itx motherboard for the front-end.
[20:24] <zinkeldonk> Or am trying that....
[20:26] <balz> oh wow
[20:26] <balz> that's a nice setup
[20:27] <zinkeldonk> Well.I gotta get it to work first...then I will gloat :-)
[20:28] <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.....
[20:29] <balz> right. that's absolutely true
[20:30] <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....
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <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?
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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.
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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....
[20:38] <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....
[20:39] <zinkeldonk> Alright mate. Thanks again for the advice. Heading for Neverland now. Cheers.
[20:40] <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
[20:54] <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?
[21:06] <Easy_Rider9999> I am using an LCD with a resolution of 1280x1024
[21:10] <NTolerance> Easy_Rider9999: one sec
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:18] <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
[21:28] <Shadow__X> hello everyone
[21:29] <Shadow__X> out of the blue i am getting no lock on my hvr-1800 but my 1600 works fine
[22:10] <kemic> 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] <laga> check the log files in /var/log/mythtv/
[22:18] <kemic> oo sorry
[22:18] <kemic> what should i be looking for errors in general?
[23:11] <tgm4883_laptop> frink_, ping
[23:45] <kemic> 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] <laga> kemic: what VGA card to you have?
[23:47] <kemic> radeon 9550
[23:48] <laga> okay, can you pastebin the output of "xvinfo"?
[23:48] <kemic> sure sec..
[23:50] <kemic> http://pastebin.com/m70a83f16
[23:51] <kemic> problem i assume
[23:52] <laga> yeah. can i take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[23:54] <kemic> sec
[23:57] <kemic> http://pastebin.com/d1fd65b82
[23:59] <kemic> anyideas?
