[00:00] That above is from the mythtv wiki [00:00] Yeah, looks a bit old. myth isn't doing GSoC anymore AFAIK [00:03] and thor hasn't been around for a while.. [00:08] laga, *cough* *poke* trunk builds *poke* *cough* [00:09] hum [00:09] ya, sorry. forgot about it, i was doing ffmpeg research [00:09] and bike light research ;) [00:09] good thing you told me to poke you [00:10] haha [00:10] poke me again tomorrow, too :) [00:10] i also have to finish some mythtv patches which fix some bugs we have in the mythbuntu setup [00:27] hey guys, how do I fix my live tv display? It fills the width of my widescreen tv, but the height is squashed down so everything looks fat. [00:27] I've checked all my tv settings. I only have the problem with live tv from my HDHomeRun. [00:27] the GUI fills the screen fine. [01:08] can mythbuntu be burnt to a dvd? or does it have to be a CD? [01:23] can anyone help me with my display problem? [01:32] hi, just installed mythtv for the 1st time, is there any tutorial for installation, it looks like i am having problem [02:25] anyone use sasc-ng here? [02:25] nishi: sasc-ng is a method to ILLEGALLY receive cable or satellite broadcasts via a fake software dvb-s/c device. It is forbidden from being discussed in #ubuntu-mythtv, #ubuntu-mythtv-dev, #mythtv-users, and #mythtv. If you would like to learn more about it, please refer to it's developers and keep any and all discussions about it there. [02:34] Hey, did joystick support get disabled in latest mythtv-0.21-fixes debs? My game pad stopped working in myth... [02:35] jstest and jscalibrator show input, so I presume it's myth and not the OS or my joypad [03:15] hi, i am installing mythtv for the 1st time, and i get no upnp backends found, what is this? [03:22] hadi57: try this it may help.. dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [03:26] how do you add a folder (like a cdrom with video files) to the video browser so it will show the video files on a disk you put in? [03:36] just like you added the other videos? [03:36] video setup? === gbutters is now known as gbutters_afk [05:06] Is there a guide for getting digital audio to work when playing mkv files in myth? === MythbuntuGuest31 is now known as gomike78 === gomike is now known as gomike78 [05:13] gomike78: I would look at docs for either alsa or pulseaudio for digital audio and try to get things to work with mplayer from Linux commandline first [05:19] can i just use the internal player [05:19] AVI files work in AC3 [05:19] and so does TV [05:24] I asked the wrong question sorry, what i dont know how to do is get audio to play over the optical out when there is no AC3 audio included in the avi [05:40] Anyone know where the config file lives that defines autostart of mythfrontend in mythbuntu? [11:16] does the restricted drivers for ATI graphics cards support hardware deinterlacing? [11:17] does=do [11:31] Grretings! [11:33] Gargoyle: hi [11:34] I am thinking of makeing a separate backend/frontend setup. Do cards like the Nova-T-500 that come with a remote have a separate receiver? [11:34] So I can put the card in the backend and the receiver in the front? [11:36] not sure sorry [11:36] Are there any issues with USB cards? [11:37] Will they be quick enough for HD? [11:42] I'm a nubie [11:42] do the restricted drivers for ATI graphics cards support hardware deinterlacing? [12:18] do the restricted drivers for ATI graphics cards support hardware deinterlacing? [12:19] Steven_M: there's no need to repeat your question every few minute [12:19] s [12:23] mornin' [12:23] sorry [12:24] laga: got a gutsy backend I'm about to upgrade... mythtv has already been upgraded to .21 on it... being there's some kernel upgrades I'm gonna take... am I ok to do this remotely with vnc? [12:26] it's not the best idea one might have, but it can work. if you use update-manager (or was it do-release-upgrade?), it will probably open another ssh port for you [12:26] do-release upgrade?? [12:27] I planned on just pulling updates from package manager [12:28] ah, i thought you were gonna upgrade to hardy [12:28] hrm... will it not through synaptics? [12:29] that is my intention.. but someone in here said lastnight not to use the cd but just pull it from synaptics [12:29] you can use update-manager for that [12:30] k... sorry.. haven't had my coffee yet.. :P [12:30] update manager.. not synaptic...:D [12:30] so the update manager will upgrade it to Hardy then? [12:31] yes [12:32] kewl... [12:34] and kudo's to you guys... I've run a couple different os's with mythtv on them... and mythbuntu by far has been the best I've seen... this backend was up for 6 months.. no problems whatsoever with 4 frontends feeding off it... still wouldn't have taken it down except that I had a h/w failure.. so I'mma get my upgrades in now too. [12:34] so... thanx again for all your hard work on this... it SURELY shows!! [12:35] and my 6, 8 and 10 yr. old kids thank you too...hehehe [12:35] i'm glad you like it :) [12:35] so much so that I have to schedule maint. windows with them....LOL [12:36] I think the whole rig is really theirs... I just get to maintain it.. hehe [12:37] heh [12:53] laga: I just hit update manager.. and it says I have 54 updates and there's a distro release of 8.04... should I take the distro first.. then get all my updates cause they're probably going to be different for Hardy anyways? [12:53] um. no clue. ;) [12:53] heh [12:53] it should be safe to go to hardy directly [12:53] well.. here goes nuttin'.. I'mma fire right over to hardy...;) [12:53] let the beatings begin..hehe [12:53] ty [13:12] can an mythbuntu iso be burnt to a dvd instead of a cd? [13:12] i dont have any blank cd's only blank dvd's [13:17] squish102: that should work [13:18] thanks laga [13:57] laga would u know where i can find 7.10 64 Bit PC Images? [13:57] they are on some mirrors [13:58] not sure why you would want to use 7.10 [13:58] i am having problems with lirc with 2 ir receivers not working after upgrade [13:59] ah [13:59] go to download 8.04 on mythbuntu.org and then delete the file name from the url [13:59] and look around in that directory [14:00] it's not on all mirrors [14:19] so i want to make sure they work on 7.10 [14:19] ok i will try thanks [14:19] that's an excellent plan [14:21] mythbuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso < i guess that was the name [14:22] found it thanks [15:57] hey guys, is there some sort of screensaver type of thing you can run for instance when you're playing music with myth so its not just the steady image on the screen? [15:59] Anyone know where the config file lives that defines autostart of mythfrontend in mythbuntu? [18:11] /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh maybe? [18:16] no, /usr/share/ usually doesn't hold config files [18:16] it's somewhere in ~/ ;) [18:16] depends what youre looking for [18:17] laga, I think he is not talking about actual config files... [18:17] but what starts the frontend [18:18] btw laga, is there any attention to the LCD bug? [18:18] http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/mythtv-users@mythtv.org/msg62986.html [18:18] http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=5649258 [18:19] which was a non-issue before 0.21-fixes [18:27] if there is no bug report [18:27] there is no attention [18:29] http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5648 [18:29] it was fixed in svn 4 days ago :P [18:29] will it make it into intrepid? [18:30] sure. file a bug report in launchpad [18:31] and do what? just point a link to the fix? [18:31] sorry, all my bugs I've ever created are deleted until now :D [18:32] however, there are many with this issue judging from discussions on forums [18:32] yes, basically. short description of the problem (one sentence) and a link to the bug fix [18:32] that makes it easier to track it [18:32] not sure if we'll do a full resync against -fixes or just cherry pick patches [18:34] ok I'll file it [18:44] afternoon folks... I just upgraded from gutsy to hardy on my backend.... runing a pvr-150... and when I go to view livetv... it's very grainy.. and if I tune to lower channels... it's completely unwatchable... has something changed with this upgrade? [18:56] can someone tell me what version of ivtv I should see in dmesg with mythbuntu hardy for a pvr-150? [19:03] [ 127.811765] ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.1.0 [19:14] yeah.. that's what I'm seeing [19:14] * Aquahallic is a BONEHEAD [19:14] LMAO [19:15] been so long since I've messed with my backend... when I upgraded the distro.... I think it updated ivtv also... and I forgot you have to actually power off the server for a couple min's to let everything clear so the card will take the new f/w [19:18] now.. question.. yesterday we were talking about how I can move the recordings dir and the livetv dir to separate locations.... if I do move them to different places... how does that react if I'm watching a show and decide I want to record it... [19:18] will it finish playing/recording and then move it into the recordings dir? [19:23] Aquahallic, no idea ;) [19:27] heh... I guess I'll findout...:P === superm1|away is now known as superm1 === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [19:51] superm1|away, laga I filed the mythlcdserver bug/fix now. Hope it will make it into intrepid release [21:42] tgm4883_laptop: you around? [21:43] nope ;) [21:43] heh [21:43] hey you any good with setting up sharing? [21:43] as in..... [21:43] I just moved my g'friend over from winblowz to ubunty hardy.. "YAY" [21:44] what do you want to share? same system? Different computers? [21:44] well.. on my backend I had some dir's like the videos and mess shared out for her [21:44] so she'd go into network places.... see the backend and open it and see the shares [21:45] samba on the backend [21:45] Is it a laptop? [21:45] well.. now that she's on ubuntu... I'm not sure WTF is the equivelant of a workgroup [21:45] yup [21:46] ok, then you probably don't want to mount on startup ;) [21:46] no [21:46] so you have 2 options [21:46] right.. don't want it in fstab or nuttin' [21:46] 1, you can continue as it is currently and have her go to places > network and it should be just like windows [21:47] and I'd rather not have shortcuts to mount [21:47] or you can setup a button that will mount the drives [21:47] well then the first option it is then [21:47] yeah.. I don't want static mappings [21:47] so just go to Places > Network [21:47] might have to hit windows network when you get in there [21:48] I do and I see the workgroup [21:48] and I see the server and kid's 2 winbloz boxes [21:48] ok, then whats the question? [21:48] but when I open the server.. the shares are not there [21:48] hmm [21:48] she does have same user and pass as the acct I setup on the server [21:49] did you wait a sec to let them load? [21:49] causes i'm doing that right here and they show up fine [21:49] yeah.. it did the hourglass deal for almost a min. [21:49] now [21:49] let me ask you [21:49] when you do that... the laptop is using samba.. right? [21:50] well cifs, but yea [21:50] ok.. let me get more basic [21:50] so I can "understand" this [21:50] when I setup a windows machine.. I have to put it into a workgroup [21:51] right [21:51] to see the other shares properly [21:51] ok [21:51] now [21:51] is there a native sharing for linux? [21:51] other than using samba.. cause that's really linux using windows file sharing [21:51] right? [21:51] err not exactly [21:51] actually.. lemme ask it like it [21:51] this [21:52] if I had a PURE linux network [21:52] no windows boxes [21:52] and I wanted to share out some folders and have them show up when I path to the server [21:52] would it be samba I'd have to use or does linux have a native "workgroup" type environment?? [21:53] if they were all desktops, i'd say mount them at startup using NFS [21:53] yes [21:53] but afaik, you can't just browse NFS shares like you can CIFS shares [21:53] but I want the server to broadcast the shares... [21:53] ok [21:53] NOTE ^^ That is probably incorrect, I just dont know how [21:53] that's what I was getting at [21:53] ok [21:53] ok... so samba it is [21:53] then you probably want the CIFS setup then [21:54] 'er.. is samba called Cifs now? [21:54] which is what you have right now [21:54] well yes and no [21:54] IIRC Samba used to use the SMB protocol, but now uses the CIFS protocol [21:54] where CIFS is just evolved [21:55] aight [21:55] kewl [21:55] so... [21:55] now [21:55] what I'm seeing is there's an authentication issue I believe [21:55] where I have to join a windows machine to a workgroup [21:56] I'd think I'd actually have to do the same with the linux machine [21:56] so that it would "pass through" the credentials [21:56] so if Bob has an acct on the server with password [21:57] and Bob logs into a laptop with that same user and password.. he gets his securities he's allowed on the server when he opens the server in places network [21:57] make sense? [21:57] ok [21:57] makes sense [21:58] and that is not happening here? [21:58] I don't think so [21:58] cause [21:58] I didn't do any config on the laptop for the MSHOME workgroup at all [21:58] I'm guessing ubuntu hardy only comes pre-installed with the client side to mount smb shares? [21:59] do I also need to put samba server on the laptop and then config the smb.conf with the workgroup info? [21:59] or does the client side also use that info? [22:00] right, but you don't set any permissions up per workgroup, it's per share. so if you go into Places > Network > WORKGROUPNAME > COMPUTER > SHARENAME it should propt for a user/password [22:00] no, you don't need samba server on the laptop [22:01] yeah but the shares aren't showing on the server end [22:01] now [22:01] right, hmm [22:01] those shares were setup using samba back with gutsy and I did the smb.conf by hand [22:02] and it does show on a windows box if she logs on as her user [22:02] hmm [22:02] let me take a look at my smb.conf [22:02] yeah [22:03] you have samba server on that machine? [22:03] no, on my server [22:03] ok.. so you're only running the client app on there then [22:03] wonder if your smb.conf is config'd with something that happened during setup? [22:09] Aquahallic, why don't you post your config and we will see whats up [22:10] from the server? [22:10] yea [22:10] sec [22:10] !pastebin [22:10] 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. [22:10] yup [22:12] oh hell [22:12] LOL [22:12] I think I just found it [22:12] hrm.. no [22:13] /etc/samba/smb.conf [22:14] yeah.. I thought I saw the issue.. but I think I'm wrong [22:14] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m52d6ad09 [22:15] hmm [22:15] nothing sticking out [22:15] yeah [22:16] I even opened up the recordings share just to test it [22:17] would the security = share have something to do with it? [22:17] maybe that works fine for windows.. cause it joins the workgroup [22:18] let me change that and bounce samba svc on server [22:18] no, mines practically the same as yours [22:19] heh [22:20] hrm [22:20] ya know [22:20] uhm [22:20] where can I set an ip of a servername? [22:20] like a hosts file? [22:21] this MIGHT be a dns issue [22:21] that could be I suppose [22:22] accessible via firefox? [22:22] smb://hostname/ [22:23] *ding ding ding* [22:23] sure enough [22:23] i put it in /etc/hosts static [22:24] works like a champ now [22:24] SOB [22:24] lol [22:24] yep [22:24] makes sense [22:24] I've got static dhcp here [22:25] yeah.. server is broadcasting the netbios name [22:25] but I can't resolve [22:25] :P [22:25] kewl... thx for your help...:D [22:25] now I gotta fix up my DNS [22:26] that server is a static entry on my dhcp segment [22:26] and I had to screw with some stuff on my router so my dns would resolve right when I was vpn into work... so I basically screwed myself...:P [22:27] that's always the way.. hehe [22:27] ty sir! [22:27] np [22:28] just flashed up one of my wrt's with ddwrt.. guess I better get to configuring it...:P [22:29] then I can just setup my vlans right and won't have this problem anymore.. [22:39] tgm4883_laptop: if I change the ip on my backend.. is there anything else I need to change for the db besides the binding for mysql-server?? [22:40] not sure, I haven't changed my backend ip for that very reason [22:40] heh [22:40] k [22:47] looks like everything's referencing hostnames and not IP's [22:48] so I should be able to change the ip and then change the mysql-server to listen on that interface.... then I'll have to change my nfs mounts cause I use the IP.. [22:48] I'll let you know...:P [22:49] gotta plug into this other router and config it.. so... I'll bbiab! [22:49] thx again for all your help!!!! [23:23] i upgraded my MythBuntu install on my backend last night (8.04) and now I'm seeing issues when IVTV tries to record [23:24] i'm getting 0 length recordings and getting this in the error log [23:24] MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding [23:24] has anyone seen this?
