| JohnP789 | mythfrontend is crashing when I back out of Watch Recordings. Is there a known issue that might cause this? | 02:07 |
|---|---|---|
| khaije1 | i have a pvr-150 but i'm worried it isn't working right... i can only view two channels, but the tv on the same cable works fine | 07:00 |
| spike1 | hello | 12:42 |
| Aquahallic | mornin' | 12:42 |
| Aquahallic | :) | 12:42 |
| spike1 | tearing my hair out type problem | 12:42 |
| * laga nods gravely | 12:43 | |
| spike1 | got an MM100PCTV yesterday... now, after some wrestling with it, I got it to produce a picture, and eventually sound(by means of a lead from the card to the mic socket) | 12:43 |
| spike1 | but mythtv... no sound. | 12:43 |
| spike1 | mplayer, xawtv, kdetv and tvtime, I get sound | 12:44 |
| spike1 | but I can't get sound in caputures in xawtv or mencoder | 12:44 |
| spike1 | captures.. | 12:44 |
| spike1 | (I read somewhere on the net the mm100pctv doesn't produce sound as a sound card, so you need the lead) | 12:45 |
| Aquahallic | If I remember correctly you have to setup the soundcard to do the capture | 12:46 |
| spike1 | that's what I've been wrestling with | 12:46 |
| spike1 | I'm stumped | 12:46 |
| spike1 | :) | 12:46 |
| Aquahallic | you're going into the mic? | 12:46 |
| spike1 | I have /dev/dsp setup in mythtv as the audio device... | 12:46 |
| Aquahallic | have you tried going into the line in? | 12:47 |
| spike1 | yes | 12:47 |
| spike1 | tried that too... | 12:47 |
| Aquahallic | with capture? | 12:47 |
| spike1 | then I get no sound out of the others either | 12:47 |
| Aquahallic | that's cause I THINK the mic is doing "Talk Back" | 12:47 |
| Aquahallic | so you hear it | 12:47 |
| Aquahallic | try doing a capture with the audio going into the line in | 12:47 |
| spike1 | I'll give it a shot... | 12:48 |
| Aquahallic | then view that mpg file and see if the file itself has audio | 12:48 |
| spike1 | pretty sure it failed though | 12:48 |
| Aquahallic | you prolly won't hear sound until you view the captured file | 12:48 |
| Aquahallic | I'm using a hauppauge so I didn't have that problem | 12:49 |
| Aquahallic | I very well could be leading you astray.... but that's where I'd start...;) | 12:49 |
| Aquahallic | does mythtv have a dropdown for that card? | 12:51 |
| spike1 | well, I just tried with mplayer to start with... I'll give mythtv a shot in a sec... no joy | 12:52 |
| spike1 | mencoder tv://45 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -tv forceaudio=yes,alsa,adevice=0.0.4 | 12:52 |
| spike1 | -o test.avi | 12:52 |
| spike1 | still not used to the keybindings in mythtv... what is it to stop a recording, is it just r again? | 12:54 |
| Aquahallic | r again | 12:54 |
| Aquahallic | it's a toggle | 12:54 |
| spike1 | and to play it back.. | 12:55 |
| Aquahallic | go into your recordings | 12:55 |
| Aquahallic | and just highlight it and click enter | 12:55 |
| spike1 | don't think that took... I still have one in there from last night | 12:56 |
| spike1 | I'll try again | 12:57 |
| spike1 | always seems to come up "record "Unknown"" too | 12:57 |
| Aquahallic | did you setup your sources? | 12:58 |
| Aquahallic | and point to schedules direct? | 12:58 |
| spike1 | no schedules, I'm on an analogue card | 12:58 |
| Aquahallic | if not it will come up unknown...;) | 12:58 |
| Aquahallic | doesn't matter | 12:58 |
| spike1 | that didn't seem to record again... I'll delete the contents of the capture directory see if that helps... | 12:59 |
| Aquahallic | myth populates the db with the shedule | 12:59 |
| Aquahallic | and you tie that to the capture card in the backend setup | 12:59 |
| Aquahallic | that's how it can pull the name of the show... | 12:59 |
| spike1 | no, no sound | 13:00 |
| Aquahallic | when you setup that capture card in mythbackend setup | 13:01 |
| Aquahallic | was there a dropdown for your card? | 13:01 |
| spike1 | it was listed... | 13:01 |
| Aquahallic | ok | 13:01 |
| spike1 | not as MM100PCTV, but as... | 13:02 |
| spike1 | just a sec | 13:02 |
| Aquahallic | when you selected that.. did it give a blank there to select something to use for the audio capture? | 13:02 |
| Aquahallic | mine does audio and video so I'm not real sure how they set that up | 13:02 |
| spike1 | bt849 video (Modular Technology [bttv] | 13:03 |
| Aquahallic | hrm | 13:03 |
| spike1 | audio device is set to /dev/dsp | 13:04 |
| Aquahallic | what do you get in your backend logs? | 13:04 |
| Aquahallic | do a pastebin of your backend log for this last time you just tried to record | 13:05 |
| spike1 | hmm, unknown audio codec | 13:09 |
| spike1 | what do you mean by pastebin? | 13:09 |
| spike1 | the actual error is | 13:11 |
| spike1 | 2008-08-29 12:59:58.686 NVR(/dev/video0) Error: Unknown audio codec | 13:11 |
| Aquahallic | hrm | 13:11 |
| spike1 | which seems logical cos the video0 isn't producing audio... it should be getting it from /dev/dsp though shouldn't it? or is audio device just for output | 13:11 |
| spike1 | ? | 13:11 |
| spike1 | is the mythtv-setup thing a dumbed down configurator that doesn't carry all the configuration options? | 13:13 |
| Aquahallic | is that log from the playback or the capture? | 13:14 |
| Aquahallic | !pastebin | 13:14 |
| Zinn | when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 13:14 |
| Aquahallic | go there and paste the last 100 lines or so of your mythbackend log | 13:15 |
| spike1 | right... just a sec | 13:15 |
| spike1 | done | 13:19 |
| Aquahallic | what's the link? | 13:19 |
| Aquahallic | after you submit it... copy and paste the link in here | 13:19 |
| spike1 | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m2b164512 | 13:20 |
| Aquahallic | NVR(/dev/video0): Unknown video codec. Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles. Assuming RTjpeg for now. | 13:23 |
| Aquahallic | I do see that so far | 13:23 |
| spike1 | well... it is producing a picture... | 13:23 |
| spike1 | TV settings in frontend or backend? | 13:23 |
| Aquahallic | yeah it's using RTjpeg | 13:23 |
| Aquahallic | I think those are in the frontend | 13:24 |
| Aquahallic | sec | 13:24 |
| Aquahallic | been so long | 13:24 |
| Aquahallic | yeah that's on the frontend | 13:26 |
| spike1 | reet... what do I do in there? | 13:26 |
| Aquahallic | util/setup | setup | TV Settings | Recording profiles | 13:27 |
| Aquahallic | there's 4 of them in there | 13:27 |
| Aquahallic | that's just to setup the video though | 13:27 |
| Aquahallic | do you have anything in your video's dir? | 13:28 |
| spike1 | yeah, I'm there, mpeg4 is the only other option, I'll try it, but I'm not sure if the card outputs mpeg4 yet... | 13:28 |
| spike1 | I've got plenty of videos but I've not moved any into there, no | 13:28 |
| Aquahallic | try.. then scan for new videos | 13:29 |
| spike1 | just a sec, I'll try changing all these to mpeg4 see if that helps | 13:29 |
| Aquahallic | then try to play one | 13:29 |
| Aquahallic | and see if you get audio | 13:29 |
| spike1 | how do you scan for new videos | 13:35 |
| spike1 | I moved an avi into my "capture" directory... went into videos and it said none found | 13:35 |
| Aquahallic | setup | video manager | 13:36 |
| Aquahallic | it will scan | 13:36 |
| spike1 | right, no sound still on recordings | 13:38 |
| spike1 | sound on the video | 13:38 |
| Aquahallic | you have sound on the video? | 13:39 |
| spike1 | yes | 13:39 |
| Aquahallic | are you using the internal player? | 13:39 |
| spike1 | I didn't setup anything in videos apart from the directory, so I assume so | 13:39 |
| Aquahallic | I'm not sure if this is right but you can try it | 13:40 |
| Aquahallic | when you go into the backend setup.. and you setup the capture card... where you have the audio | 13:41 |
| Aquahallic | you have /dev/dsp right now... correct? | 13:41 |
| spike1 | yep | 13:41 |
| Aquahallic | try changing it to ALSA:default | 13:41 |
| Aquahallic | see what happens | 13:41 |
| spike1 | hmmm, I'll give it a shot... | 13:41 |
| spike1 | nope, still no sound. even tried switching between line-in and mic again to see if it made a difference... | 13:45 |
| spike1 | I'm beginning to think this card is more trouble than it's worth and give up/return it | 13:45 |
| spike1 | get a newer one | 13:45 |
| Aquahallic | my hauppuage was CAKE to setup | 13:45 |
| spike1 | just had a minor breakthrough, switch to the mic socket on the front of the machine and managed to get some audio via mencoder capture... | 13:56 |
| spike1 | still no joy with mythtv though | 13:56 |
| spike1 | ALSA:default didn't hold either, it was back to /dev/dsp when I checked it again | 13:57 |
| spike1 | thanks anyway, need to pop out for a bit and I'll probably just settle for mplayer/mencoder... only thing that needs is an audio lag tweek now by the looks of it | 13:58 |
| spike1 | thanks though | 13:58 |

| jsheedy | anything special need to be done to get an usb external hard drive mounted under mythbuntu? | 19:12 |
| jsheedy | I get two messages in dmesg that say it found /dev/sdb and /dev/sg2, but I can not list either of those with fdisk -l | 19:13 |
| Lemont | This article was written for feisty and prior. Does it apply to hardy? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_(RV280)_and_DVI | 19:41 |
| laga | i'd doubt it (without looking at it) | 19:51 |
| elkin | has anyone tested the last weekly builds? | 20:25 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Anyone know of a guide to get maximum tv quality? | 20:31 |
| tearor | i just found out that you should use an extra partition for /lib/... because mythtv saves everything there, but i created a big /home partition... is it enough to change the paths in the frontend configuration to ~/Videos, etc? or should i expect some problems with that? | 20:32 |
| superm1 | tearor, changing the paths for all that would work fine | 20:41 |
| superm1 | FWIW, for 8.10, we make a big /var partition by default | 20:41 |
| ajhtiredwolf | superm1, I tried changing the directory that it stores to point to another mounted partition, however it doesnt seem to liek that, | 20:53 |
| superm1 | ajhtiredwolf, it should work fine, just make sure you point all occurrences | 20:55 |
| tearor | superm1, thx | 20:56 |
| tearor | superm1, if i change the paths in the backend setup, ist that enough? | 20:56 |
| ajhtiredwolf | superm1, hmm the only thing that is listed under storage groups is Default, and that is the dir i changed | 20:56 |
| tearor | pointing the standard directory to my /home partition | 20:57 |
| tearor | ? | 20:57 |
| superm1 | tearor, well that and possibly sections for videos/music/pictures too | 20:57 |
| superm1 | but those are in the frontend | 20:57 |
| tearor | yeah i changed them too | 20:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | superm1, Im trying to save it on an ntfs partition could that be the problem? | 20:58 |
| superm1 | ajhtiredwolf, if the permissions aren't proper on that partition, yes | 20:58 |
| superm1 | the mythtv group has to be able to writ there | 20:58 |
| tearor | what's the use of the livetv direcory? | 20:59 |
| tearor | or group | 21:00 |
| superm1 | its where livetv is stored temporarily i believe | 21:02 |
| ajhtiredwolf | superm1, hmm well i should have the ability read and write, it is set to /dev/sdb2 /media/files vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 | 21:02 |
| superm1 | ajhtiredwolf, well to check you can log into the mythtv daemon user via "sudo su mythtv" | 21:03 |
| superm1 | and try to touch stuff there | 21:03 |
| tearor | superm1, okay thx | 21:04 |
| superm1 | ajhtiredwolf, == tearor or no? | 21:04 |
| ajhtiredwolf | No | 21:05 |
| superm1 | oka just coincidently doing the same thing | 21:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | hah yeah I just saw his question, and it reminded me i was having a similar issue ;) | 21:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hmm now that didnt work | 21:06 |
| ajhtiredwolf | http://pastebin.com/m5ba8176e | 21:07 |
| ajhtiredwolf | superm1, actually, here this one | 21:09 |
| superm1 | ajhtiredwolf, that looks like a different kind of error depending on what the backend said during that time | 21:11 |
| ajhtiredwolf | that was just the whole log, the first one was part of it | 21:13 |
| superm1 | that was a backend log? it looked like a frontend log to me | 21:14 |
| superm1 | but i suppose i could have been mistaken :) | 21:14 |
| === superm1 is now known as superm1|away | ||
| ajhtiredwolf | Noo, i just copied it from the terminal :p | 21:23 |
| tearor | mythfrontend.re[6505]: segfault at b0650100 rip 7fdaea9d5330 rsp 44d6b298 error 6 | 22:10 |
| tearor | could that be a problem with the fglrx driver? | 22:11 |
| anax83 | Hello everybody | 22:21 |
| anax83 | i would like to install mythbuntu ob my mini-itx via epia m900. | 22:22 |
| anax83 | I formatted my harddrive with the installer and now, when i want to boot, there is an grub error | 22:22 |
| anax83 | how can i fix thode, which information do you need to get the problem= | 22:23 |
| tearor | what's the standard storage group in mythbuntu by default? i changed but i want it back to default. however, i can't delete my change | 22:42 |
| tearor | i changed it in the storage menu in the backend setup | 22:43 |
| tearor | okay the "standard" directory is called "dafault" in enlish | 22:49 |
| tearor | (i could've guessed that ;) ) | 22:49 |
| rhpot1991 | /var/lib/mythtv/recordings I believe | 22:57 |
| rockyrock | hi guys, i have skystar2 DVB card and i downloaded mythbuntu 8.04.1, can i install and setup mythtv on my Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 using mythbuntu cd without internet cuz i have a slow internet? | 23:45 |
