[02:05] <MythbuntuGuest31> Needing assistance with MYSQL:  getting error mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'mythbox'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
[02:05] <MythbuntuGuest31> Text file:  DBUserName=mythtv
[02:05] <gomike> reset your password
[02:05] <MythbuntuGuest31> gomike:  how is that done...  bit of a noob
[02:06] <gomike> ill have to google it one moment
[02:06] <MythbuntuGuest31> thanks
[02:07] <gomike> The mysql password is saved in the mysql.txt file. This file is usually in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt or /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt where mythtv is the user that runs the backend.
[02:07] <gomike> Just edit the line DBPassword= to the password you want to use and then change the password with mysqladmin to change the password in Mysql.
[02:08] <gomike> you can type locate mysql.txt to find out where that file is
[02:08] <gomike> then type sudo nano "file path"
[02:09] <MythbuntuGuest31> I might be entering the command incorrectly; Mythconverg issue....
[02:09] <hads> `sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common` will do that too.
[02:09] <MythbuntuGuest31> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m5ce9881f
[02:09] <gomike> yep hads, thats the command i was looking for
[02:10] <gomike> guest31 do what hads said
[02:10] <MythbuntuGuest31> k
[02:10] <MythbuntuGuest31> can you check to see if I am entering the password and username correctly
[02:11] <MythbuntuGuest31> pasted the mysql.txt
[02:11] <hads> Just enter -p on the command line and then it will prompt for the password
[02:12] <hads> `mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -p mythconverg`
[02:12] <hads> Note your mysql username is mythtv not mythbox
[02:12] <MythbuntuGuest31> yah...
[02:13] <MythbuntuGuest31> still getting the same error:   using the correct username and password
[02:13] <Asa_A> fyi, if you do enter the password on the commandline, for some reason it has to be up against the -p (ex -pKkEjcOPh)
[02:14] <MythbuntuGuest31> using this command"  mythbox@mythbox-desktop:~$ mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -phero12 mythconverg
[02:14] <Asa_A> mysqlcheck was interpreting your password as the database name instead of mythconverg
[02:14] <MythbuntuGuest31> changed password to hero12
[02:16] <MythbuntuGuest31> any ideas?  I am stumped....  cannot get the tv to work; mythconverg is showing in the log file:  failing
[02:17] <MythbuntuGuest31> I have used the above command prior on a different box and it was fixed...  just getting this error.
[02:17] <MythbuntuGuest31> *now getting this error
[02:17] <Asa_A> are you getting errors from ﻿mysqlcheck? maybe use the pastebin to show what the log file says is failing (if its more than one line)
[02:18] <MythbuntuGuest31> FIRST:  is this correct.... mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -phero12 mythconverg
[02:18] <MythbuntuGuest31> mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -phero12 mythconverg
[02:19] <MythbuntuGuest31> I am using PUTTY.com; remote connect....

[03:32] <tgm4883_laptop> this could get confusing
[03:33] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: do you have mythweb installed?
[03:33] <MythbuntuGuest31> hold a sec
[03:35] <MythbuntuGuest31> not sure - how do I check
[03:35] <MythbuntuGuest31> :  thought it was in MCC

[03:35] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[03:35] <MythbuntuGuest31> Fresh installation?
[03:36] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: not yet
[03:36] <tgm4883_laptop> first, try this
[03:38] <tgm4883_laptop> do "ps aux | grep msyql"
[03:39] <tgm4883_laptop> post the output of that here
[03:39] <tgm4883_laptop> and since I like to teach
[03:39] <tgm4883_laptop> that command tells us if mysql is running
[03:39] <MythbuntuGuest31> tgm4883_laptop:  UPDATE - local host was blanked...  entered the IP address then get "cannot log into database" after runnnin " sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common "

[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> do this commands
[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
[03:45] <MythbuntuGuest31> ohhh... there are commands... that may be the prob
[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> huh?
[03:46] <MythbuntuGuest31> someone told me to run just one of them....
[03:46] <tgm4883_laptop> well the second one you can run in some cases
[03:46] <tgm4883_laptop> but i want you to run both
[03:47] <MythbuntuGuest31> enable remote connectivity?
[03:47] <tgm4883_laptop> sure
[03:47] <MythbuntuGuest31> jsut one box now... plan on adding
[03:47] <tgm4883_laptop> then yes
[03:48] <MythbuntuGuest31> cannot log into database...
[03:49] <tgm4883_laptop> did you get that running one of those commands?

[03:53] <MythbuntuGuest57> pls
[03:53] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: did you enter your root password when running the commands?
[03:53] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: what tuner?
[03:53] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: error messages?
[03:53] <MythbuntuGuest57> Hauppauge HVR 1600
[03:53] <darthanubis> I'm getting them now
[03:53] <MythbuntuGuest57> the card is detected
[03:53] <darthanubis> but after getting that far
[03:53] <darthanubis> now it wonn't login to the database oddly
[03:54] <darthanubis> even though I've setup myth a hundred times
[03:54] <darthanubis> I have the DB password and all
[03:54] <darthanubis> let me retract my steps
[03:54] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: which version of mythbuntu?
[03:54] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: Which version of mythbuntu are you using?
[03:55] <darthanubis> I have never used mythbuntu
[03:55] <darthanubis> I'm running Intrepid with mythtv installed
[03:55] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: ah ok
[03:55] <darthanubis> with the mythbuntu control centre
[03:55] <MythbuntuGuest31> 8.04
[03:56] <MythbuntuGuest31> same problem?
[03:56] <tgm4883_laptop> doubt it
[03:56] <darthanubis> can't login to database
[03:57] <darthanubis> which app do I reconfigure again?
[03:57] <darthanubis> mythtv-common
[03:57] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: can you try this
[03:57] <darthanubis> or mythtv-database
[03:57] <darthanubis> or mysql5?
[03:57] <tgm4883_laptop> mysql -uroot
[03:57] <MythbuntuGuest31> k
[03:57] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: mythtv-database, mythtv-common
[03:58] <darthanubis> k
[03:58] <darthanubis> tgm4883_laptop, the password myth should use to access the database is in mysql.txt right?
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> although the above commands will overwrite that
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> basically, you can choose your password right now
[04:00] <MythbuntuGuest31> tgm4883_laptop: at mysql> prompt
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31:
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: good deal
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> so you can login to mysql ;)
[04:00] <MythbuntuGuest31> yah...  but Frontend cannot
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> now we just have to get the other user to do it
[04:00] <MythbuntuGuest31> :(
[04:01] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: when you ran those commands that I posted above (the dpkg-reconfigure commands) did they pop up a box on your screen or did it all stay command line?
[04:01] <MythbuntuGuest31> ?
[04:02] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: it sees the card, but whats the problem?
[04:02] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: i'm wondering if the issue might be putty
[04:02] <MythbuntuGuest57> well I cannot scan it
[04:02] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: error message?
[04:02] <MythbuntuGuest57> it does not show on the input source.. tuner 1 -> none
[04:03] <MythbuntuGuest57> & scan is not enabled
[04:03] <MythbuntuGuest57> scan buton
[04:03] <darthanubis> mysql -uroot < what does this do?
[04:03] <MythbuntuGuest31> I did get the "pop-up" box (blue) and was able to input the setup
[04:03] <MythbuntuGuest31> using putty
[04:03] <MythbuntuGuest57> i have taken the cable out from settop box of cox & connected to tuner card
[04:03] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: IIRC, tuner 1 is the input source, and the none means that you haven't linked it to a data source yet
[04:04] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: logs you into mysql as root
[04:04] <MythbuntuGuest57> ok so how do I do it
[04:04] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: where do you live?
[04:04] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest31: ok, then putty seems find

[04:24] <MythbuntuGuest57> have a sony trinitron 27
[04:24] <tgm4883_laptop> did you enable your restricted driver?
[04:25] <MythbuntuGuest57> how to do it
[04:25] <tgm4883_laptop> use the restricted driver manager
[04:27] <MythbuntuGuest57> it just says hardware drivers - device driver  ati accelerated graphics drive - in use
[04:27] <tgm4883_laptop> so that would be "Yes i have the driver installed"

[04:33] <MythbuntuGuest31> "mythbuntuguest31" pulling his hair out
[04:33] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: you probably need to set up your playback profiles
[04:33] <MythbuntuGuest31> I think your right
[04:33] <MythbuntuGuest57> ok what do i need to set in payback profiles
[04:35] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles
[04:38] <darthanubis> anyone using intrepid here?
[04:38] <darthanubis> testing mythtv?
[04:39] <bronson> Is anyone else having bad playback issues?
[04:39] <MythbuntuGuest57> tgm4883_laptop: thanks a lot for all ur help.. I will try to play with the playback profiles & see how it plays
[04:40] <MythbuntuGuest57> appreciate ur help
[04:40] <bronson> When the OSD comes up, playback gets really choppy.  And sometimes everything freezes up for a while, then continues.
[04:40] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest57: np
[04:40] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis: just have one intrepid machine right now, will be a frontend when I get around to installing mythtv
[04:41] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson: the OSD, or the guide?
[04:41] <bronson> tgm4883_laptop, osd.  Like adjusting the volume.
[04:41] <bronson> Each press of the volume button freezes the video for 0.5 sec or so.
[04:41] <bronson> And occasionally it will freeze up for a good minute.
[04:42] <bronson> I shouldn't say freeze... the computer is fine if I switch to a different desktop.
[04:42] <bronson> But the playback goes totally black for a while then seems to recover on its own.
[04:42] <bronson> Pretty bizarre...  wondering if it's pulseaudio related or something.
[04:44] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson: is this a new thing, or has it happened since you installed?
[04:46] <bronson> tgm4883_laptop, happened since I installed.
[04:46] <tgm4883_laptop> computer specs?
[04:46] <bronson> It didn't do it in Hoary but seems to on Feisty.
[04:47] <bronson> Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7200  @ 2.53GHz, non-free nvidia drivers, 2GB ram.
[04:47] <bronson> CPU never goes above 30%, even when the video freezes.
[04:49] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[04:50] <tgm4883_laptop> I haven't seen that issue myself, but I don't use the built in volume
[04:50] <tgm4883_laptop> what happens if you just hit "i" during playback for info?
[04:50] <bronson> I'll try, brb
[04:52] <bronson> Wow, that was a good call.
[04:52] <bronson> It goes fast when I use the keyboard.
[04:52] <bronson> It's only slow when I use the remote.
[04:53] <tgm4883_laptop> the volume too?
[04:53] <bronson> yep
[04:53] <bronson> I didn't think to try using the keyboard.
[04:53] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[04:53] <tgm4883_laptop> what receiver?
[04:53] <bronson> Hauppauge HVR-950q, USB-connected.
[04:53] <bronson> Remote is USB too.
[04:54] <tgm4883_laptop> strange
[04:54] <tgm4883_laptop> lirc issue then i guess
[04:54] <bronson> sounds like it.
[04:54] <bronson> Guess I'll have to fiddle with it more.
[05:05] <bronson> It appears to be a bad interaction between Mythtv and LIRC.
[05:06] <bronson> Maybe my remote is hitting Myth with too many consecutive keypresses?
[05:06] <bronson> too quickly?
[05:06] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson: where did you get your lircrc from?
[05:09] <bronson> I'm pretty sure I had Mythbuntu generate it.
[05:09] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[05:10] <tgm4883_laptop> can you pastebin it?
[05:10] <bronson> Yep, it is.
[05:10] <bronson> sure
[05:10] <tgm4883_laptop> and what remote is it?
[05:10] <bronson> It's an MCEUSB2
[05:11] <bronson> Repeat is 0 for each entry...  should it be 3?
[05:12] <tgm4883_laptop> mine's 0
[05:12] <tgm4883_laptop> for my MCEUSB2
[05:15] <bronson> that shouldn't be a problem then.
[05:15] <bronson> http://pastie.org/269434
[05:15] <bronson> Sorry for the delay, I had to install xclip.  :)
[05:15] <tgm4883_laptop> did you edit this by hand at all?
[05:16] <bronson> I just added the Back entry at the very end.
[05:18] <tgm4883_laptop> I really doubt this is the problem, but you might need an extra blank line at the end of the file
[05:18] <tgm4883_laptop> looks fine though
[05:18] <tgm4883_laptop> some things are picky about those end lines being blank
[05:27] <bronson> That's really strange then.
[06:11] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, lmao
[06:11] <tgm4883_laptop> nice try ;)
[06:11] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, comn now unban me
[06:11] <foxbuntu> lol
[06:12] <tgm4883_laptop> I would
[06:12] <tgm4883_laptop> but I can't
[06:12] <foxbuntu> sure you can
[06:12] <tgm4883_laptop> working on it
[06:13] <foxbuntu>  so what put it over the top where you figure out who I was?
[06:13] <tgm4883_laptop> when you quit and rejoined as a different name
[06:13] <tgm4883_laptop> and really, the Administrator user?
[06:13] <tgm4883_laptop> whats that?  an XP machine?
[06:14] <foxbuntu> its a laptop i "borrowed" from my office until I get my new laptop
[06:14] <tgm4883_laptop> sure
[06:14] <foxbuntu> my Ubuntu laptop is dead
[06:14] <foxbuntu> for real now
[06:14] <bronson> How do I skip commercials?  My Myth-generated lirc file doesn't provide an End key.
[06:15] <bronson> (assuming the flagging went OK, which it normally doesn't)
[06:15] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson: the skip button?
[06:15] <foxbuntu> right arrow skips forward 30 secs
[06:15] <foxbuntu> or the skip button
[06:15] <foxbuntu> or FFWD
[06:15] <bronson> haha, right.
[06:16] <bronson> but, "The End or Z key (by default) jump to the next commercial break marker."
[06:16] <bronson> I guess you guys don't bother with comm flagging?
[06:16] <foxbuntu> bronson, skip on the remote usually is mapped to Z
[06:16] <foxbuntu>  is what I was trying to explain
[06:17] <bronson> oh, that makes sense.
[06:17] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, wth??! you add a perm ban?
[06:17] <bronson> So that's asymmetric.
[06:17] <bronson> Skip to go forward, Home to go back.
[06:18] <foxbuntu> depends on the the remote...I have no idea what remote you have and how it was treated by my mappings
[06:18] <bronson> MCEUSB2, mythbuntu-provided mappings
[06:19] <foxbuntu> well then on the remote, use the skip buttons, like the DVD chapter skip buttons
[06:20] <foxbuntu> bronson, I say my mappings because I wrote the dictionary that generates the auto generated mappings
[06:20] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, comn!
[06:20] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu: yea so, i can't unban you
[06:20] <tgm4883_laptop> it's not letting me
[06:20] <foxbuntu> why?
[06:20]  * tgm4883_laptop shrugs
[06:20] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll keep digging into it
[06:20] <foxbuntu> did you permantly do it
[06:20] <tgm4883_laptop> I blame Kubuntu
[06:21] <tgm4883_laptop> no, i can reverse any ban
[06:21] <foxbuntu> ok
[06:21] <tgm4883_laptop> just let me grab the cs script
[06:21] <foxbuntu> be back in a sec...I need to go start my server up
[06:22] <bronson> groovy, it seems to work.
[06:23] <foxbuntu> bronson, it better :) I have that remote
[06:23] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, why are you using KDE4 now?
[06:25] <MythbuntuGuest57> tgm4883_laptop: I need advice for setting up my playback profile pls
[06:25] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, you will need to provide specs and setup of your machine to make any suggestions for that
[06:25] <bronson> foxbuntu, well, thanks for the bindings.  :)
[06:26] <foxbuntu> bronson, no problem, I always hated  setting that up by hand ;)
[06:26] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu: yep
[06:26] <tgm4883_laptop> let me restart
[06:26] <bronson> Is there any way to get an overview of where Mythtv found the commercial breaks?
[06:26] <foxbuntu> bronson, nope
[06:27] <MythbuntuGuest57> foxbuntu: system specs: geniune intel : cpu family: 15.. Intel Celeron CPU 3.06 GHZ, cache 256 kb, fpu: yes, fpu extn: yes, cpuid leve 5
[06:27] <MythbuntuGuest57> ATI pro 256 AGP card tv out
[06:27] <MythbuntuGuest57> 1 GB ram
[06:27] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, is it a frontend/backend system?
[06:28] <MythbuntuGuest57> its a back + front end primary system
[06:28] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, are you using Open Source or Closed Source Video Drivers?
[06:29] <MythbuntuGuest57> I used ATI setip with hardy guide to do it
[06:29] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, pretty safe to say, you need to use the CPU-- / Slim playback profile
[06:29] <foxbuntu> also, Setup the Guide to use the ECO (Low CPU) profile
[06:30] <foxbuntu> set Userjobs in the Backend Setup to use Low CPU and no more than 2 jobs at a time
[06:30] <MythbuntuGuest57> I changed Current video playback profile to Slim
[06:30] <foxbuntu> Use MCC to enable the MySQL Tweaks, Daily Defrag, and Daily DB Optimization
[06:30] <MythbuntuGuest57> rest I donno what to do
[06:31] <foxbuntu> at the menu level you found the Playback profile there is a Menu "Program Guide" I think the first page has the setting for the Guide Style
[06:31] <foxbuntu> Set that to ECO
[06:32] <foxbuntu> Exit the frontend and run MythTV Backend Setup from the mneu --or-- run mythtv-setup from the terminal
[06:32] <MythbuntuGuest57> ok
[06:32] <foxbuntu> In gernal settings in the backend you can change the user jobs settings as I previously mentioned
[06:33] <foxbuntu> from the Frontend in Setup > Setup  > Mythbuntu you will open MCC (mythbuntu-control-centre) In advanced options you will find the settings I previously mentioned
[06:35] <MythbuntuGuest57> I did that
[06:35] <MythbuntuGuest57> still video playback is choppy
[06:35] <MythbuntuGuest57> it gets struck
[06:36] <MythbuntuGuest57> I played a divx video & it was fine
[06:36] <MythbuntuGuest57> just TV stuff is struck
[06:37] <foxbuntu> HD or SD?
[06:37] <MythbuntuGuest57> sd
[06:37] <foxbuntu> what is your tuner?
[06:38] <MythbuntuGuest57> Hauppauge HVR 1600
[06:38] <foxbuntu> SD is working for you on that?
[06:38] <MythbuntuGuest57> the thumbnai of recording shows the video recorded properly
[06:38] <MythbuntuGuest57> yes it is
[06:38] <foxbuntu> hmm intresting
[06:38] <foxbuntu> ok well anyways
[06:39] <foxbuntu> how is livetv?
[06:39] <foxbuntu> same as recorded?
[06:39] <MythbuntuGuest57> livetv is struck too
[06:39] <MythbuntuGuest57> yeah
[06:39] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu, you should be good now
[06:39] <foxbuntu> try switching to CPU-- then
[06:39] <MythbuntuGuest57> I guess it was in CPU -- earlier .. lemme try again
[06:40] <MythbuntuGuest57> no change .. still struck
[06:41] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, are you up-to-date on Mythbuntu
[06:41] <MythbuntuGuest57> its 8.04 I just installed it as I am building this new
[06:41] <foxbuntu> try to update
[06:42] <MythbuntuGuest57> I did update ..
[06:42] <foxbuntu> from terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:42] <foxbuntu> are you sure this is analog video?
[06:43] <foxbuntu> because if dvix works this should
[06:44] <MythbuntuGuest57> I just updated as u said.. still struck.. it is analog .. I connected my cox settop cable out put to analog tuner input
[06:44] <foxbuntu> hmm
[06:44] <foxbuntu> try exiting the frontend and do this from terminal
[06:45] <foxbuntu> cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
[06:45] <foxbuntu> it should just sit there, let it for 10 seconds or so and hit ctrl+c to kill it
[06:45] <foxbuntu> then: mplayer test.mpg
[06:45] <foxbuntu> see if its still having the issue there
[06:46] <MythbuntuGuest57> I did .. it said no video
[06:46] <foxbuntu> no video?
[06:46] <MythbuntuGuest57> starting playback cannot sync mad frame.9
[06:46] <foxbuntu> hmm
[06:46] <MythbuntuGuest57> exiting end of file after 12 secs
[06:49] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest57, Im thinking...just kind of busy
[06:49] <MythbuntuGuest57> ok
[07:13] <bronson> Is there any way to get mythtv's lcdproc to show tuner status?
[07:13] <bronson> Or upcoming recordings?
[07:18] <MythbuntuGuest57> foxbuntu: I opened the saved test.mpg in VLC & it played fine
[07:26] <bronson> I get this from my frontend: lcddevice: received bad no. of arguments in CONNECTED response from LCDServer
[07:28] <bronson> Question for you guys and your working mceusb2 remotes...
[07:28] <bronson> When you run irw and hold a button down, does the count increase monotonically?
[07:28] <bronson> Mine keeps restarting.
[07:29] <bronson> 0,0,1,2,0,1,0,0,1,2,3,0 etc.
[07:29] <bronson> I would expect it to go 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc
[07:29] <bronson> for as long as I hold down the button.
[08:35] <fibble> Does anybody here use Hauppauge Nova-S PCI cards with Mythbuntu successfully?
[08:35] <fibble> I cant get a channel scan in Myth-setup or an import of a channels.conf from a command line scan to work at all.
[10:03] <mdkaneda55> anyone in here know about the DViCO FusionHDTV 5 RT Gold MCE Remote? seems to be "working" without lircd, only up, down, left, right, and #'s.. the "start" key is mapped to "enter" and thats it... since lirc isn't controlling it, changing lircd doesn't let  me map it correctly.. whats goin on?
[10:10] <mdkaneda55> i'll keep looking around the web for info.. but its the dvico MCE remote w/ the 2.5mm plug receiver (plugs into the adapter plugged into the card, not the USB one that mythbuntu has preset options for)
[10:12] <mdkaneda55> just confusing that it's not working in lirc but somehow is mapped for keys.. just not the right ones (and not all of 'em)..
[11:48] <neopsyche> hi .. is it possible to use myth tv for a tv schedule for playout of content for TV station?
[11:55] <mdkaneda55> exit
[12:01] <laga> neopsyche: do you want scheduled playback=
[12:02] <neopsyche> Yes Please ! :-D
[12:02] <neopsyche> (with a gui preferably.)
[12:02] <laga> neopsyche: i wouldn't use mythtv for that. it's a DVR app ;)
[12:02] <neopsyche> yes i know
[12:02] <neopsyche> any other ideas?
[12:02] <laga> i'd probably use mplayer.. or kaffeine with a playlist or something like that
[12:05] <neopsyche> I want to use VLC.. but need to figure out how to setup a schedule of files to play for 7 days at a time .. at specific times.
[12:05] <laga> cron? ;)
[13:48] <jphillip> HD tuner on woot today, not sure about support
[15:31] <bronson> jphillip, $90??  Ouch, I thought Woot was supposed to have good deals.
[15:31] <bronson> Amazon has the HVR-950 for $70-something.
[15:35] <jphillip> its a launch item, brand new
[15:35] <jphillip> also leads me to think it will play well
[15:35] <bronson> ah.
[15:35] <bronson> Hope so.
[15:35] <bronson> Other than the nice size, though, I don't see anything that looks particularly impressive.
[15:36] <jphillip> errr wont play well with linux
[15:36] <jphillip> stupid fingers type what I think
[15:36] <bronson> that makes more sense.  :)
[15:50] <gregL> ! faac
[15:50] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about faac
[15:50] <gregL> !aac
[15:50] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about aac
[15:50] <laga> !omgbbq
[15:50] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about omgbbq
[15:51] <jphillip> what you looking for gregL ?
[15:51] <jphillip> !help | gregL
[15:51] <jphillip> !help
[15:51] <Zinn> Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs.  Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].  For a  complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi
[15:51]  * jphillip adds note that piping help didn't work
[15:53] <gregL> jphillip, just trying to get audio from my hdpvr...I can cat it and the video is great but no audio...
[15:54] <jphillip> IIRC there is a hidden aac option when compiling mythtv, and I believe it is on in mythbuntu (for the weekly builds at least)
[15:55] <laga> gregL: i think iamlindoro or directhex know something about that
[15:56] <gregL> laga: Yes iamlindoro is most likly the person to talk to about it...thanks
[15:57] <laga> also, if you can figure out a viable fix for intrepid (if needed), it'd be much appreciated
[15:57] <laga> figuring out workarounds are no good if none of it ends up in the bug tracker ;)
[15:58] <gregL> I downloaded intrepid 2 times and both times i couldn't get it to boot..I even burned it at 1x...
[16:02] <jphillip> gregL there are some problems with the current discs
[16:02] <bronson> Can anyone with a remote (preferably mceusb2) run IRW and tell me what it gives you when you hold down a button?
[16:03] <bronson> Does the second column just count upward monotonically?
[16:03] <gregL> jphillip, ah ok didn't know that.thanks
[16:03] <bronson> Mine restarts after 1-3, never makes it past 6.
[16:03] <bronson> wondering if that's why pushing a button on the remote brings Myth to its knees...
[16:05] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson, mine counts up in hex
[16:06] <bronson> ya, mine too.
[16:07] <bronson> tgm4883_laptop, yours counts upward as long as you hold down the button?
[16:07] <jphillip> that all depends on your remote/receiver I think
[16:07] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[16:07] <jphillip> I believe my MCE will count up to 6 or so, but my faked hauppauge setup only ever hits 2 (and kinda runs like crap)
[16:08] <jphillip> mainly cause the phillips universal remote doesn't repeat well and is slow
[16:08] <tgm4883_laptop> I finally stoped it when it reached 3e
[16:08] <bronson> well, that's good to know.
[16:08] <bronson> tgm4883_laptop, what remote do you have?
[16:09] <tgm4883_laptop> mceusb2
[16:09] <bronson> Maybe this Keyspan is a piece o crap.
[16:09] <bronson> Mine is mceusb2 too.
[16:09] <jphillip> there are different mceusb2's
[16:09] <jphillip> by different manufacturers and so on
[16:09] <bronson> jphillip, yours doesn't count very high either?  Does it drive Myth OK?
[16:10] <bronson> When I push a button (say volup), Myth stutters and chokes for 1/2sec to a second.
[16:10] <jphillip> bronson I'm going off of memory not there right now
[16:10] <bronson> When I push it on the keyboard, everything works as it should.
[16:11] <jphillip> there are some settings in the lirc config that have to do with repeating buttons and so on, perhaps you can irrecord a new config and see if that helps
[16:11] <bronson> tgm4883_laptop, what brand/model do you have?
[16:11] <bronson> jphillip, tried that.
[16:11] <bronson> irrecord config was even a little worse!
[16:11] <bronson> Also monkeyed with repeat and gap.
[16:11] <jphillip> odds are its the remote and how often it sends then
[16:12] <tgm4883_laptop> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote
[16:12] <tgm4883_laptop> 3rd from the left
[16:12]  * jphillip has the same one, its quite nice
[16:13] <bronson> That's what I'm afraid of.  And I was so excited to use an RF remote.  :(
[16:13] <jphillip> bronson that remote can be had from newegg for $20-30
[16:14] <jphillip> comes with a IR receiber/blaster too
[16:14] <jphillip> I'd love to replace that universal one I have with another, but my wife likes the single remote
[16:14] <jphillip> and I'm too cheap to get a harmony

[17:23] <Aquahallic> afternoon folks
[17:23] <Aquahallic> is there somewhere in mythfrontend that I can set it to mount a nfs share when it opens?
[17:40] <MythbuntuGuest99> hi
[17:41] <MythbuntuGuest99> need advice on playback settings pls
[17:44] <superm1> !ask
[17:44] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[17:44] <superm1> !hi | MythbuntuGuest99
[17:44] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest99: Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[17:46] <MythbuntuGuest99> hi.. yes i need advice with my playback settings
[17:46] <MythbuntuGuest99> it freezes
[17:46] <MythbuntuGuest99> when i open the saved .mpg file with VLC it plays well
[17:48] <superm1> generally try changing the playback settings to be in the "slim" profile
[17:48] <superm1> and you may have some more luck
[17:48] <superm1> the default profile is too much for a lot of systems
[17:49] <MythbuntuGuest99> I did changeto slim it did not help
[17:49] <MythbuntuGuest99> CPU -- did not help
[17:49] <superm1> are these HD recordings?
[17:49] <MythbuntuGuest99> no just SD
[17:51] <superm1> are you on the proprietary graphics driver for your card?
[17:51] <MythbuntuGuest99> yes, I have the ATI driver
[17:52] <superm1> ah okay.  well the next thing you can try then is updating to the latest version of that driver (there is a newer one than the one in the repos)
[17:52] <superm1> you can grab it from AMD's website and build it using ./driver-name --buildandinstallpkg
[17:53] <MythbuntuGuest99> I just installed the driver
[17:53] <superm1> clarify that statement, and rebooted i presume?
[17:54] <MythbuntuGuest99> yes.. when I play the same video using VLC player or any divx with VLC player i plays fine
[17:54] <superm1> right, I understand that.  so when it's freezing in myth does your system freeze hard, or just skip a bunch?
[17:55] <MythbuntuGuest99> just the tv displ freezes .. if I press 'Esc' key it comes back to mythtv menu
[17:59] <superm1> okay so not a hard system freeze
[17:59] <MythbuntuGuest99> yes not a hard system freeze
[17:59] <superm1> if you try running mythfrontend from a terminal, you might get some more useful debugging information in that terminal
[17:59] <MythbuntuGuest99> how do I do that
[18:00] <superm1> close mythfrontend, click the applications menu and pick terminal
[18:00] <superm1> type
[18:00] <superm1> mythfrontend
[18:00] <superm1> and then try to use the app
[18:01] <superm1> when it freezes up, alt-tab over and look for some hopefully more useful information
[18:01] <superm1> you can put that info ina pastebin
[18:01] <superm1> !pastebin | MythbuntuGuest99
[18:01] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest99: 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.
[18:01] <MythbuntuGuest99> ok thanks will try that .. appreciate ur help .. have to log out now
[19:16] <Aquahallic> when you scan for movies.. what's the table in mythconverg where it keeps those entries?
[19:42] <sabhain> ugghhh .. anyone solve the samba mount from fstab problem after upgrading to hardy?  (error 22, invalid parameter)?
[19:49] <tgm4883_laptop> Aquahallic, mythvideo?
[20:57] <Aquahallic> tgm4883_laptop: I found them...:)
[20:57] <Aquahallic> they moved it in .21...
[21:22] <dupondje> when I start Livetv, my volume is always dropping to around ~70%
[21:22] <dupondje> while when i'm @ gnome desktop, its 100%
[21:22] <dupondje> any id ?
[21:22] <dupondje> how can I make its 100% in mythtv also
[21:24] <gregL> There's a spot in the frontend set up to turn up the audio...
[21:24] <gregL> 70% is default
[21:25] <jphillip> dupondje setup>general 3rd page
[21:26] <dupondje> thx :)
[21:26] <jphillip> np
[21:26] <dupondje> lotsa settings :p
[21:33] <tgm4883_laptop> !mythtv volume
[21:33] <Zinn> The default volume for MythTV is 70%.  You can change this setting in the frontend setup by going to Utilities / Setup > Setup > General.  Page 3 will contain the settings for Master Mixer Volume and PCM Mixer Volume.
[22:17] <bronson> jphillip, tgm4883_laptop: I solved my remote problems.
[22:17] <bronson> It works a champ now.
[22:17] <bronson> Fixed the OSD issues too...  and you're never going to believe how.
[22:18] <bobbob1016> How can I get a command to run after each reboot?  I don't see the sessions thing as I have under Ubuntu.
[22:18] <bronson> bobbob1016, you can throw it in /etc/rc.local
[22:19] <bobbob1016> bronson, Ok, will do.  Thanks.
[22:20] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson, how?
[22:20] <bronson> pulled an unused USB PCI card out of my machine.
[22:21] <bobbob1016> Getting 1080p to playback isn't fun when you have a P4...  trying to overclock my videocard, and they say to run a command each boot since the nvidia-settings don't seem to stay after a reboot...
[22:22] <bronson> Just a 4-port NEC hub.  Nothing special.
[22:22] <bronson> Nothing plugged into it!
[22:22] <tgm4883_laptop> that will teach you to have unused ports ;)
[22:22] <bronson> Nothing in the logs.  No reason to pull it really, other than my new mobo has 8 USB ports.
[22:23] <bronson> NO KIDDING
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> I wonder if it's bad?
[22:23] <bronson> It's already in the garbage.  :)
[22:23] <bronson> No idea, but I learned long ago that it's never worth wrestling with a $40 part.  :)
