[02:07] <JohnP789> mythfrontend is crashing when I back out of Watch Recordings.  Is there a known issue that might cause this?
[07:00] <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
[12:42] <spike1> hello
[12:42] <Aquahallic> mornin'
[12:42] <Aquahallic> :)
[12:42] <spike1> tearing my hair out type problem
[12:43]  * 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.
[12:44] <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..
[12:45] <spike1> (I read somewhere on the net the mm100pctv doesn't produce sound as a sound card, so you need the lead)
[12:46] <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...
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <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
[12:49] <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...;)
[12:51] <Aquahallic> does mythtv have a dropdown for that card?
[12:52] <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
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <spike1> and to play it back..
[12:55] <Aquahallic> go into your recordings
[12:55] <Aquahallic> and just highlight it and click enter
[12:56] <spike1> don't think that took... I still have one in there from last night
[12:57] <spike1> I'll try again
[12:57] <spike1> always seems to come up "record "Unknown"" too
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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...
[13:00] <spike1> no, no sound
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <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
[13:03] <spike1> bt849 video (Modular Technology [bttv]
[13:03] <Aquahallic> hrm
[13:04] <spike1> audio device is set to /dev/dsp
[13:04] <Aquahallic> what do you get in your backend logs?
[13:05] <Aquahallic> do a pastebin of your backend log for this last time you just tried to record
[13:09] <spike1> hmm, unknown audio codec
[13:09] <spike1> what do you mean by pastebin?
[13:11] <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> ?
[13:13] <spike1> is the mythtv-setup thing a dumbed down configurator that doesn't carry all the configuration options?
[13:14] <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.
[13:15] <Aquahallic> go there and paste the last 100 lines or so of your mythbackend log
[13:15] <spike1> right... just a sec
[13:19] <spike1> done
[13:19] <Aquahallic> what's the link?
[13:19] <Aquahallic> after you submit it... copy and paste the link in here
[13:20] <spike1> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m2b164512
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <Aquahallic> I think those are in the frontend
[13:24] <Aquahallic> sec
[13:24] <Aquahallic> been so long
[13:26] <Aquahallic> yeah that's on the frontend
[13:26] <spike1> reet... what do I do in there?
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <Aquahallic> setup | video manager
[13:36] <Aquahallic> it will scan
[13:38] <spike1> right, no sound still on recordings
[13:38] <spike1> sound on the video
[13:39] <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
[13:40] <Aquahallic> I'm not sure if this is right but you can try it
[13:41] <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...
[13:45] <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
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <spike1> ALSA:default didn't hold either, it was back to /dev/dsp when I checked it again
[13:58] <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
[19:12] <jsheedy> anything special need to be done to get an usb external hard drive mounted under mythbuntu?
[19:13] <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
[19:41] <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
[19:51] <laga> i'd doubt it (without looking at it)
[20:25] <elkin> has anyone tested the last weekly builds?
[20:31] <ajhtiredwolf> Anyone know of a guide to get maximum tv quality?
[20:32] <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?
[20:41] <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
[20:53] <ajhtiredwolf> superm1, I tried changing the directory that it stores to point to another mounted partition, however it doesnt seem to liek that,
[20:55] <superm1> ajhtiredwolf, it should work fine, just make sure you point all occurrences
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <tearor> what's the use of the livetv direcory?
[21:00] <tearor> or group
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <tearor> superm1, okay thx
[21:04] <superm1> ajhtiredwolf, == tearor or no?
[21:05] <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 ;)
[21:06] <ajhtiredwolf> Hmm now that didnt work
[21:07] <ajhtiredwolf> http://pastebin.com/m5ba8176e
[21:09] <ajhtiredwolf> superm1, actually, here this one
[21:11] <superm1> ajhtiredwolf, that looks like a different kind of error depending on what the backend said during that time
[21:13] <ajhtiredwolf> that was just the whole log, the first one was part of it
[21:14] <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 :)
[21:23] <ajhtiredwolf> Noo, i just copied it from the terminal :p
[22:10] <tearor>  mythfrontend.re[6505]: segfault at b0650100 rip 7fdaea9d5330 rsp 44d6b298 error 6
[22:11] <tearor> could that be a problem with the fglrx driver?
[22:21] <anax83> Hello everybody
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <anax83> how can i fix thode, which information do you need to get the problem=
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <tearor> i changed it in the storage menu in the backend setup
[22:49] <tearor> okay the "standard" directory is called "dafault" in enlish
[22:49] <tearor> (i could've guessed that ;) )
[22:57] <rhpot1991>  /var/lib/mythtv/recordings I believe
[23:45] <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?
[23:48] <rockyrock> i searched the internet for tutorials but couldn't find anything
[23:57] <rockyrock> i asked this question in #mythbuntu and they told me that i can do this, but i should ask here
