[00:04] <dagar> I've been thinking about switching my main backend to ubuntu from centos, if I went with ubuntu lts how long would I be able to get up to date myth packages?
[00:13] <avihayb> say, is there a reason why a fresh Mythbuntu 8.04.1 install would show only recordings where the backend finished recording, either due to the one hour limit, or due to shutdown, but not recordings done in liveTV mode?
[00:14] <avihayb> when I pres record on, wait, and of again, the file is generated on the HDD, but it is invisible in the internal media library thing
[00:15] <KjetilK> dagar: you can get weekly builds at http://uk.weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu , I think there are dev builds available too, so fairly frequent I would say
[00:15]  * KjetilK was actually on the way to bed, so g'night :-)
[00:16] <avihayb> also, if I start a liveTV recording, then quit liveTV viewing, then reenter liveTV viewing, I can no longer stop the recording.
[00:16] <avihayb> night
[00:17] <dagar> KjetilK: my concern is more long term support
[00:17] <dagar> will up to date myth builds be available for a few years after hardy LTS has been released?
[00:21] <dagar> for instance what version of mythtv is currently available for dapper drake?
[00:48] <gregL>  Hardy Heron8.04 LTS April 24, 2008 Supported until April 2013 (Server) or April 2011 (Desktop)
[00:58] <JThundley> can someone help me with nfs stuff? It's really driving me up the wall
[00:59] <JThundley> I had shares all set up and working and it stopped working for some reason
[00:59] <JThundley> from what I've gathered, when I write files to the server, they end up belonging to nobody:nogroup
[01:00] <JThundley> so it's like I'm getting squashed, but it's not being mounted as root, my uid and gid are the same on the machines, I'm not in more than 16 groups
[02:10] <bobbob1016> I bought an nvidia 8400gs pci express card, and now I can watch HD without much issue.  However, when watching a movie, a 1080p movie, the audio goes out of sync every few minutes, and if I pause/rewind or some combo there-of, it gets back in sync.  My mplayer line is "mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv -monitoraspect 16:9 -lavdopts threads=2:fast:skiploopfilter=all -sws 0 %s" from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php

[02:41] <defendguin> i seem to have run into a bit of a mystery.   all of a sudden when i press watch tv the screen goes black for 2 seconds and goes back to the main menu.  i've checked my settings not sure what it wrong i thought it might be something with my tuner config  but i can't tell for sure
[02:41] <defendguin> needless to say i didn't adjust any settings i just booted up the computer and it was like this
[02:56] <defendguin> i'm running 8.04.1
[03:00] <defendguin> the error i am getting is LiveTV mpt successfully started
[03:00] <defendguin> not*

[03:55] <defendguin> apparently it keeps trying to use the password "YES" but gets denied
[06:20] <shahar_> Hi, I just installed MythBuntu 8.04 and bought a new remote off the LIRC list. I know the remote works because if I kill the lirc daemon, cat the lirc0 device, and push buttons, characters appear on my screen. My problem is that the remote does not seem to work with mythbuntu. I am wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it
[10:51] <avihayb> say, is there a reason why a fresh Mythbuntu 8.04.1 install would show only recordings where the backend finished recording, either due to the one hour limit, or due to shutdown, but not recordings done in liveTV mode?

 nutsy, when working with xorg.conf you always make backups, to fix the problem you replace the xorg.conf with the working backup. making small changes at a time is the key
[14:10] <nutsy> oh balls sorry
[14:10] <nutsy> In Unbuntu/mythbuntu when something goes wrong with the graphics card driver stuff... How do you reinstall the card and drivers? Some thing went fluffed and i dont know how to fix it. I can no longer get the card to run at full HD any more it only goes up to XGA reses
[14:39] <troldrik> You don't... you fix your xorg.conf
[14:40] <nutsy> no its ok i fixed it now redownloaded the nvidia drivers
[14:40] <troldrik> Pastebin xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.
[14:40] <nutsy> and got the nvidia settings installed
[14:40] <troldrik> Oh...
[14:41] <nutsy> out of interest... Anyone here know how to get evo VC1 video stream into a mkv file?
[14:41] <nutsy> or does mkv not suport vc1?
[14:42] <nutsy> truth is ive not been able to find any good mkv compilers
[14:42] <nutsy> oh and the file building on pc
[14:46] <nutsy> Its just i want to make some myth compatible films. But I want to fix the audio problem by reencoding them but I dont want to reencode teh video
[15:07] <riegersn> I'm unable to stream my hd (avg of 4 gig files) videos over lan/nfs (not giga) when using the default internal player. It stutters and freezes a lot. However when I tell mythtv to use mplayer instead it works fine so I know im transferring fast enough. How can I fix this? I'd rather use the internal player
[15:12] <rhpot1991> is the computer powerful enough?
[15:16] <bobbob1016> riegersn, I'd guess that it is a setting, since the internal player is usually mplayer.
[15:17] <laga> bullshit
[15:17] <laga> :)
[15:20] <riegersn> i tried changing the cache size and min levels on the setup line for internal mplayer but it doesn't seem to cache anything strange
[15:20] <bobbob1016> riegersn, What video card do you have?
[15:21] <riegersn> should that matter if mplayer alone works perfectly?
[15:21] <bobbob1016> riegersn, Actually, nm, since you said it plays fine via normal mplayer.
[15:21] <bobbob1016> beat me to it
[15:21] <riegersn> yea i don't get it
[15:22] <riegersn> its strange
[15:22] <riegersn> there was a 200mb mp4 it stuttered on too
[15:22] <bobbob1016> riegersn, Try taking out all the settings you have in the internal player, since it should use the external player's settings otherwise
[15:23] <bobbob1016> copy them down first though
[15:23] <riegersn> if i exit out of mythtv and launch mplayer and set up the settings, it should use those?
[15:24] <bobbob1016> I think it should, I don't know for sure.  Try asking in #mplayer as well.
[15:25] <laga> mythtv does not use mplayer for recordings.
[15:26] <bobbob1016> Yeah, but he is playing a stream over his lan with nfs
[15:26] <laga> ah, so it's mythvideo
[15:26] <laga> are these h264 files?
[15:27] <bobbob1016> Yes, but his videos play fine with mplayer outside of myth, so his PC is fine
[15:27] <riegersn> laga, yea mkv and mp4
[15:27] <laga> ah, mkv. i dont think mythtv likes mkv that much..
[15:28] <riegersn> laga, when i tell myth to use external mplayer instead of internal it works fine
[15:28] <laga> it's also possible that mplayer is newer with regards to h264 support
[15:29] <laga> if you're using ubuntu 8.04, you could enabling the weekly fixes builds. i've updated the h264 stuff there
[15:29] <avihayb> I have a problem, moveis I record useing liveTV and pressing the record button don't show up on the list of recorded shows. they appear on the info-center under automatic removal or something like that. if I see them there and press enter, a menu shows up that lets me move them into the "deafault groop". when I do that, they vanish from this list and appear in the vew recordings list
[15:31] <avihayb> group*
[17:11] <riegersn> Is there a podcast plug-in for mythtv? specifically a video podcast plug-in? I'm using miro to download my video podcasts and linking them to my mythvideo dir, it would be nice if I could manage them all on my tv
[17:23] <jlongstreet> I've been having a problem with Mythbuntu Hardy on my HTPC where it goes into standby after about 15 minutes of inactivity.  I don't want it to ever go into standby.
[17:24] <jlongstreet> In the power management prefs I have it set to never go to sleep, and the screensaver to never turn on
[17:25] <jlongstreet> I think it's just a display sleep or something, because if I'm watching a video, the video will keep playing, but the HDMI will completely cut out until I click the mouse
[17:26] <jlongstreet> This is an HTPC so I don't want to have to have a mouse connected to it.
[17:36] <jlongstreet> Onboard ATI HDMI card, btw, fglrx driver
[17:40] <sebrock> anyone knows if its possible to add diggnation podcast to mythstream?
[17:40] <sebrock> Im able to harvest but not watch anything
[18:14] <riegersn> sebrock, im want to know the same thing
[18:17] <sebrock> riegersn, I am able to start it using the default parser, but I have to go trough the harvested stuff manually (jpgs, and all sorts of stuff)
[18:17] <riegersn> yea, i want to know if there is a plugin for video podcasts
[18:19] <sebrock> MythStream can handle it
[18:19] <sebrock> its just need some tweak on the parser
[18:19] <rhpot1991_laptop> there is some new deal
[18:19] <sebrock> Im watching diggnation right now
[18:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5665553
[18:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> tr ythat maybe?
[18:22] <sebrock> interesting!
[18:26] <sebrock> rhpot1991_laptop, will it make it final to the next release?
[18:29] <rhpot1991_laptop> it was included into intrepid AFAIK
[18:33] <sebrock> thats great news! Well intrepid is soon here so I'll give it a rest until then
[18:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> sebrock: just install from the ppa
[18:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> same thing but ready for hardy
[18:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> we can't insert new things into hardy and all, so you need to get it from the ppa
[18:37] <sebrock> so I'll use the repo from intrepid?
[18:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> no, ppa == personal package archive
[18:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> its a tiny repo that devs can put packages
[18:38] <rhpot1991_laptop> for testing, etc
[18:38] <rhpot1991_laptop> its the stuff for intrepid, packaged for hardy, but we can't introduce new features to hardy so you have to get it elsewhere, hence the ppa
[18:39] <sebrock> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu-testing/ubuntu intrepid main
[18:39] <sebrock> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu-testing/ubuntu intrepid main
[18:39] <sebrock> correct?
[18:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> you want hardy, see the dropdown on the top of the page
[18:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> switch that to hardy, then copy them
[18:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> throw them in /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> then sudo apt-get update
[18:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> and then go ahead and install the new packages
[18:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> or just use synaptec or whatever you are famailiar with to do so
[18:49] <Tuv0k> http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds
[18:50] <rhpot1991> you could use that method as well if you sub in the correct url
[18:51] <sebrock> yuep
[18:51] <sebrock> tnx
[18:51] <sebrock> will check it out
[20:30] <ender_EE> i'm having difficulty disabling window manager keyboard shortcuts on a mythbuntu frontend that boots into a "mythtv standalone session" (per the mythbuntu-control-centre gui).
[20:31] <ender_EE> specifically, I want "ctrl + alt + left (or right)" to be disabled, but this setting does not seem to be enabled in the XFCE keybindings configuration area
[21:03] <Stemming78> Need assitance setting up an MCE Remote - pinnacle...  any trick to this?

[21:07] <Stemming78> grey remote w/ the pinnacle receiver...
[21:44] <KjetilK> I need to start irexec somewhere
[21:44] <KjetilK> whats the best way to do that under mythbuntu?
[21:46] <KjetilK> it should be run by the user that logs in (I assume), and I looked into .xsession, but that appears to take over the whole session rather than just run something in addition to the session
[22:04] <riegersn> I can't seem to find where to set the path for my roms in mythbuntu
[22:04] <CNLiberal> I'm having difficulty with my digital output using a Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1
[22:05] <riegersn> i've been to the setup where i can select the emulators but didn't see anything for games, just "scan for games" which did nothing
[22:05] <CNLiberal> i can get 5.1 on LiveTV but using the same settings, I don't get sound on recordings that aren't in 5.1 or in music
[22:06] <CNLiberal> i can change the settings to get sound in music and recordings, but HD liveTV and recorded 5.1 don't pass AC3 to the receiver
[22:06] <CNLiberal> does anyone have any advice?
[22:10] <riegersn> CNLiberal, sorry can't help with that but im interested in what hardware your using to grab the hd feed. I really want to get a card (or box) that supports it AND works we;; with myth, i fairly new to this
[22:10] <CNLiberal> i'm currently using an HDHomeRun from SiliconDust
[22:10] <CNLiberal> it was VERY easy to setup in Myth
[22:11] <riegersn> and the HD quality is good?
[22:11] <riegersn> any difference between that and a box from your cable provider?
[22:11] <CNLiberal> as good as you can get from Comcast
[22:11] <CNLiberal> haha
[22:11] <riegersn> Comcast!
[22:11] <CNLiberal> i've not used a box from my cable provider
[22:11] <CNLiberal> the cool thing is...
[22:12] <CNLiberal> i'm only paying for internet through Comcast ($59 a month)
[22:12] <CNLiberal> but
[22:12] <CNLiberal> they're giving me all their analog channels
[22:12] <CNLiberal> so i've got that going for me
[22:12] <riegersn> where do you live i have comcast and they said i couldn't use another box besides theirs
[22:12] <CNLiberal> they're a bunch of lie-whores
[22:13] <CNLiberal> according to the FCC (from what I understand) they have to put out your local stations on their digital tiers
[22:14] <CNLiberal> so I've got all my locals on digital (in HD, and some in SD) plus a couple they don't really care about encrypting
[22:14] <CNLiberal> like the christian network, and ION TV
[22:14] <riegersn> nice
[22:14] <riegersn> are you in jersey?
[22:14] <CNLiberal> nope, Illinois
[22:14] <CNLiberal> but the hard part with the HDHR was setting up DHCP
[22:15] <CNLiberal> because the HDHR just takes the MPEG Transport Stream and dumps it on to Ethernet
[22:15] <CNLiberal> but my backend mobo has a second NIC, so I setup DHCP3 and edited the config to dish out DHCP addresses on the second NIC
[22:16] <riegersn> i wonder if i keep paying for the channels i have like 1-300 or some shit like that, if i can still get them all with the HR box, thats what im worried about. the whole analog digital hd ntsc atsc shit confuses me
[22:16] <CNLiberal> I plugged the HDHR directly into the backend, and cat'd /var/log/messages and that said the HDHR received an IP
[22:16] <CNLiberal> i would really doubt that all those digital channels are unencrypted
[22:16] <CNLiberal> Comcast are bastards about that
[22:17] <riegersn> i heard once that its possible to grab the signal from the comcast box, wonder if thats true
[22:17] <riegersn> let the comcast box decrypt it then grab it
[22:18] <CNLiberal> I've heard that too
[22:18] <CNLiberal> I"m not sure how it works
[22:19] <CNLiberal> because i know that you can use a Comcast box with Firewire enabled and grab certain stations through firewire
[22:19] <CNLiberal> but
[22:19] <CNLiberal> those stations can't be 5c encrytped
[22:19] <CNLiberal> AND
[22:19] <CNLiberal> i've heard that you can hack the Comcast box, but I've never found out how
[22:21] <CNLiberal> so if anyone knows, that'd be sweet
[22:23] <riegersn> yea
[22:24] <riegersn> I also have the Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote but haven't found out if i can use it with myth, can't seem to find a receiver to plug into the pc
[22:25] <CNLiberal> you should be able to use any remote with myth
[22:25] <CNLiberal> i'm personally running a Microsoft (Macrosux) MCE remote with USB receiver
[22:25] <CNLiberal> it's a plug and play job
[22:25] <Stemming78> Any information on how to customize jump points for the MCE Remote?
[22:26] <CNLiberal> I've then taken that remote, and programed my Sony Remote Commander (ginormous touchscreen) with the buttons from the MCE remote
[22:26] <CNLiberal> and it works fine
[22:28] <Stemming78> Having issues trying to remap my MCE REmote (new)....   any information on how to do this;  using the
[22:29] <riegersn> yea i have this 100 dollar remote and no pc receiver so no worky with mythy
[22:29] <CNLiberal> ha
[22:29] <CNLiberal> you can build one, or buy one
[22:30] <CNLiberal> i tried to build one (cuz i'm crazy cheap)
[22:30] <riegersn> haha
[22:30] <CNLiberal> and apparently, not a good solder guy
[22:30] <riegersn> me either
[22:30] <riegersn> so i don't have to buy one specifically for myth or my remote?
[22:30] <CNLiberal> buy for Myth
[22:30] <riegersn> cause there is a logitech one for the harmony 880 but its 99 bucks
[22:30] <CNLiberal> grab the MCE cuz it's so easy
[22:31] <riegersn> I looked for that microsoft remote in bestbuy & circuit city and nothing
[22:31] <CNLiberal> newegg
[22:31] <CNLiberal> always newegg
[22:32] <riegersn> have any model suggestions?
[22:32] <CNLiberal> hmm
[22:32] <CNLiberal> let me look
[22:35] <CNLiberal> still looking
[22:36] <CNLiberal> ok
[22:36] <CNLiberal> this looks like what i have
[22:36] <CNLiberal> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100851
[22:36] <CNLiberal> excep
[22:36] <CNLiberal> t
[22:36] <CNLiberal> i think it's a newer version
[22:38] <CNLiberal> let's check the wiki to see if there's a problem with that remote
[22:41] <CNLiberal> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote#Version_2
[22:41] <CNLiberal> i'm not sure if that's version 2 or not
[23:00] <hads> v1 is old, it will be v2
[23:00] <CNLiberal> yep
[23:00] <CNLiberal> i didn't know if there was a different Version...but yeah it might work
[23:01] <hads> They've sttopped making them all together now I believe
[23:01] <CNLiberal> the MCE?
[23:01] <CNLiberal> they are great remotes
[23:01] <hads> Yeah
[23:01] <CNLiberal> i know that it's MS....but still
[23:01] <CNLiberal> they work
[23:02] <hads> MS make pretty good hardware
[23:02] <CNLiberal> they really don't make anything...haha
[23:03] <CNLiberal> but, the remote works great ever since Martin Blatter gave us a working LIRC driver for it
[23:05] <CNLiberal> i emailed him about the remote when i bought it 3 yrs ago, and he helped me out
[23:05] <CNLiberal> guys a genious
