[01:47] <tgm4883_laptop> TazgodX, let me answer that with a question.  What is AT&T U-Verse?
[01:48] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal, whats happening?
[01:49] <mikal> Hi!
[01:49] <mikal> Just catching up on email now
[01:49] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[01:49] <mikal> Its been a busy week
[01:49] <tgm4883_laptop> did you see that patch I sent about the unsubscribed shows?
[01:49] <mikal> No one seems to have mailed me about setting up another Australian mirror?
[01:49] <mikal> Not yet, its in the email queue
[01:49] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal, I thought you were checking on something about the mirror first?
[01:50] <mikal> I did, and then I came back and said "let's do it"
[01:50] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[01:50] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[01:51] <tgm4883_laptop> i take it then it wasn't me who responded to that
[01:51] <mikal> Yeah, I don't remember
[01:51] <mikal> Is there someone I should be emailing about it?
[01:51] <tgm4883_laptop> yea
[01:51] <tgm4883_laptop> sec
[01:51] <tgm4883_laptop> well actually
[01:52] <TazgodX> haha
[01:52] <tgm4883_laptop> all you need to do is setup rsync and give me a link
[01:52] <TazgodX> tgm4883_laptop AT&T U-Verse is new TV service from AT&T
[01:52] <tgm4883_laptop> TazgodX, I gathered that much
[01:52] <tgm4883_laptop> do you have to have a cable box or what?
[01:53] <mikal> Oh, so do I run a rsync client in a cron job? What are the connection details?
[01:53] <tgm4883_laptop> frink_, ping
[01:54] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal, i'll have to look those up
[01:54] <mikal> Okie, or I am happy to send email if that's more appropriate
[01:54] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal, join #ubuntu-mythtv-dev
[01:54] <TazgodX> yeah, you have to have a cable box. its IPTV
[01:55] <tgm4883_laptop> TazgodX, well then, it works just like any other cable box solution I would guess
[01:55] <TazgodX> yeah but has any one been able to get the irblaster to work with the AT&T box?
[01:56] <TazgodX> i couldn't get it to work, last i tried it
[05:21] <ajhtiredwolf>  Hey I just got the windows media center remote control. It seems to be working in mythbuntu but was wondering if any of you know how to get it to work in regular ubuntu for other things ?
[05:23] <planeracer> hi all
[05:23] <planeracer> can anyone help me with channel scaner?
[05:42] <MythbuntuGuest81> hi all
[05:43] <MythbuntuGuest81> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m4a9696bf
[05:43] <MythbuntuGuest81> need advice on that pls
[06:17] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest81, it looks like you are missing a proprietary driver
[06:18] <MythbuntuGuest81> hmm
[06:18] <superm1> ajhtiredwolf, install lirc on ubuntu and pick the windows media center remote
[06:18] <MythbuntuGuest81> which one
[06:18] <superm1> ajhtiredwolf, you can use irxevent to map it to X keys
[06:18] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest81, well that depends on your graphics card
[06:18] <superm1> what kind of graphics card do you have?
[06:18] <MythbuntuGuest81> I have ATI pro 256 MB AGP graphics card
[06:19] <MythbuntuGuest81> the thing is I can play the recorded files well in my VLC player
[06:19] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest81, okay so install the ati graphics driver and then enable it's video overlay
[06:19] <MythbuntuGuest81> or any other Divx files in VLC
[06:19] <superm1> if you already have it installed, you are just missing the video overlay setting
[06:19] <MythbuntuGuest81> how do I enable video overlay
[06:19] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest81, it's in aticonfig --help, i don't remember how offhand
[06:26] <ajhtiredwolf> superm1, where could i find irxevent?
[06:26] <superm1> its part of the lirc package
[06:29] <ajhtiredwolf> irxevent --help doesnt return anything for me
[06:31] <superm1> http://www.lirc.org/html/irxevent.html
[06:31] <MythbuntuGuest24> superml: this is MythbuntuGuest81: pls look at http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d16452194
[06:31] <superm1> you have to put stuff in your lircrc
[06:31] <MythbuntuGuest24> it has my xorg.conf & the ati -- help stuff .. pls advice
[06:31] <superm1> eg make file ~/.lirc/irxevent and modify ~/.lircrc to include it
[06:32] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest24, so run "sudo aticonfig --ovt=Xv"
[06:32] <superm1> and then restart X
[06:32] <superm1> that should take care of it
[06:34] <MythbuntuGuest24> is there a command 'restart X' ?
[06:36] <MythbuntuGuest24> command not found
[06:36] <Steven_M> hi all
[06:37] <Steven_M> can mythubuntu run on xboxes?
[06:40] <MythbuntuGuest81> superml: its better but now but video is still choppy after setting the videooverlay on
[06:40] <MythbuntuGuest81> superml: any advise on playback settings pls ?
[06:52] <MythbuntuGuest81> superml: its still the same status no change in display : http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m4a9696bf
[06:53] <Steven_M> MythbuntuGuest81: have you got the right driver for your graphics card?
[06:53] <MythbuntuGuest81> yes I did I have ATI card so I got the driver from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
[06:54] <Steven_M> got to go to dinner now sorry
[06:58] <MythbuntuGuest81> superml: any advise pls ..
[07:07] <MythbuntuGuest81> superml: gtg now .. thanks for ur help .. appreciate it
[14:23] <avlis> i guys, some one can give a help!
[14:23] <avlis> hi guys, some one can give a help!
[14:24] <laga_> !hi
[14:24] <Zinn> Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[14:26] <avlis> when i start the option liveTV, the image work right unless the sound, the only thing i can listen is a very loud sound!
[14:27] <avlis> anyone had same problem???
[19:35] <MythbuntuGuest36> does anyone have any pointers for getting better cover art for dvd's, i just loaded Episode III and also Army of Darkness and both covers looked like they were snapshots of a previously folded up poster
[19:40] <MythbuntuGuest36> i have even manually entered the imdb number and it still pulls a random pictures
[19:55] <datadevil> hi
[19:57] <superm1> !hi
[19:57] <Zinn> Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[19:57] <superm1> sorry MythbuntuGuest36 no suggestions for helping that, other than manually doing it
[20:01] <link589> hey
[20:01] <link589> !help
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <link589> !mythtv
[20:02] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about mythtv
[20:04] <MythbuntuGuest36> superml: how do you manually do it?  i would like to learn how
[20:04] <link589> How do you connect directv to a mythbox?
[20:06] <superm1> link589, you'll need to use svideo or composite generally
[20:06] <superm1> and an ir blaster
[20:06] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest36, you'll need to go through and download images, and then manually set coverart in mythvideo's manager
[20:07] <superm1> !mythtv
[20:07] <Zinn> MythTV is a free Unix application which turns a computer with the necessary hardware into a network streaming digital video recorder, a digital multimedia home entertainment system, or Home Theater Personal Computer. It can be considered as a free and open source alternative to Tivo or Windows Media Center.
[20:07] <superm1> there we go :)
[20:07] <link589> so its possible to use directv with myth then?
[20:07] <superm1> yeah it is
[20:08] <MythbuntuGuest36> when i am in mythvideos manager i cannot see anywhere to add the photos manually
[20:09] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest36, you'll have to hit "m" for the menu i beleive
[20:09] <superm1> believe
[20:12] <link589> so i have the option of svideo or composite to the back of the tunner card?
[20:15] <superm1> link589, that depends on your tuner card
[20:15] <superm1> link589, any of the analog haupaugge cards do
[20:17] <link589> yeah i have a haupaugge card
[20:17] <link589> i also heard firewire is an option?
[20:17] <superm1> not with direct tv
[20:18] <link589> do they disable the firewire?
[20:19] <MythbuntuGuest36> i hit m and i cannot see anywhere to set cover art
[20:24] <superm1> link589, i don't know of any direct tv set that has firewire
[20:24] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest36, hum, i don't have it in front of me, but i could have sworn there was some setting there
[20:24] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest36, if it turns out there isn't, there's always manually prodding the mysql database...
[20:25] <link589> do you know if digitalcable (timewarner) works the same way?
[20:25] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest36, its the "information" button whatever it is "i" perhaps?
[20:32] <superm1> link589, depends on your locale, in some areas you can get a bunch of channels off time warner via firewire
[20:32] <superm1> some you can't
[20:32] <superm1> where i currently live (texas), you can get a handful of channels (about 5), but that's it
[20:35] <link589> hmm I wonder how many NY would get
[20:42] <link589> I am trying to figure out my best option. I used to have regular cable through coax. However I moved and regular cable from the provider here is the same as digital cable, which is dumb.
[20:42] <link589> same as in price
[20:49] <MythbuntuGuest36> superml: it is a little more work to add my own coverart, but at least i can get my own art now
[20:49] <foxbuntu> link589, thats because the cost to send it to your house is realitivly static and Cable Co's can charge whatever they want because they usually control their entire market area
[20:50] <link589> what do you think my chances of the firewire port on the digital cable box working is?
[20:52] <foxbuntu> coin flip
[20:52] <foxbuntu> its different everywhere
[20:52] <foxbuntu> you either need to find someone reporting if it works or not, or just try it out
[20:53] <link589> i think i will call and ask...although they might not answer my question
[20:54] <foxbuntu> link589, the port may work but the video may or may not be encrypted
[20:54] <foxbuntu> thats the real issue
[20:58] <foxbuntu> well Im outta here off to other things to do today
[21:19] <freezeman> What DVB-C card works for Mythbuntu? It's just confusing to read the wiki about this!
[21:47] <link589> why does my cable company have to have firewire with 5c enctyprtion
[22:02] <superm1> most do :(
[22:03] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, I think that was a philosophical question
[22:11] <link589> :( now im stuck i dont know what to go with
[22:12] <link589> directv or digital cable
[22:12] <superm1> digital cable has the advantage that you can at least change channels via firewire
[22:15] <link589> yeah and local channels i can record through firewire
[22:15] <link589> would i be able to do firewire for channel changing and svideo or composite for everything else?
[22:17] <superm1> link589, that's what i do myself now
[22:18] <MythbuntuGuest21> can you run mythbuntu live disk on a computer that only has wifi wep ?
[22:18] <superm1> link589, it's a shame i have to do it that way though since i've only got 4 or 5 digital channels i watch.  only 2 of them come through on firewire though
[22:18] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest21, sure
[22:18] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest21, as long as it's hardware is supported via the wifi drivers
[22:18] <link589> superml thanks
[22:18] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest21, if its say a broadcom b43 supported card, you would need firmware though
[22:18] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest21, or if its ndiswrapper you'll need the windows driver
[22:19] <superm1> no prob link589.
[22:19] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, you can change channels via cable also with directv
[22:19] <MythbuntuGuest36> still cannot set my own cover art for dvd's, can anyone help?
[22:19] <link589> superml, are any of those unencrypted local channels in HD?
[22:20] <MythbuntuGuest21> thanks will be back in a bit just finshing up dl'in the live cd to test out with my back end :) ...
[22:20] <link589> MythbuntuGuest36, my guess is that your imdb script is broken
[22:20] <link589> mine was once
[22:21] <tgm4883_laptop> link589, that wouldn't effect setting your own dvd art
[22:21] <link589> ahh, you can do that from mythweb
[22:21] <MythbuntuGuest36> i get the cover art, i get the synopsis, however some of the covers are really obscure and poor quality.  I have downloaded my own and want to add them
[22:21] <superm1> link589, yeah all the local hd's
[22:22] <superm1> tgm4883_laptop, via what type of cable?
[22:22] <tgm4883_laptop> serial->usb
[22:22] <link589> MythbuntuGuest36, put the movie posters you want in the poster directory
[22:22] <link589> then in video manager click the video and edit the metadata you can set it from there
[22:22] <superm1> tgm4883_laptop, ah this i wasn't aware
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, http://www.patersontech.com/products/usbtvtranslator.aspx
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> for instance
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> thats how I change all of mine, is through a cable
[22:23] <superm1> a wii bit pricey
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> much more reliable
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, thats only one example
[22:23] <tgm4883_laptop> you can get them much cheaper, or build your own
[22:23] <MythbuntuGuest36> link589: i tried that and it will not change.
[22:24] <link589> did you chmod them?
[22:24] <link589> I had to do that one i set my own art one time
[22:25] <MythbuntuGuest36> when i tried it with mythweb it says one request pending and does not change, but the original is now gone
[22:25] <MythbuntuGuest36> i was using the video manager and edit metadata option, there was no place to chmod
[22:26] <darthanubis> using intrepid
[22:26] <link589> yeah i usually ssh into the box and chmod from there
[22:26] <link589> laptop, how do you record from your directv box? I understand the usb serial cable
[22:26] <darthanubis> no matter what I do I can't login into the database
[22:27] <darthanubis> QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
[22:27] <link589> mysql database?
[22:27] <darthanubis> Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[22:27] <darthanubis> I keep reconfiguiring myth-database
[22:27] <darthanubis> thinking everything is good
[22:27] <darthanubis> the backend is recording and everything
[22:28] <darthanubis> transcoding is also failing
[22:28] <darthanubis> mythweb works fine
[22:28] <darthanubis> it is able to access the database
[22:28] <darthanubis> entries are getting stored
[22:28] <MythbuntuGuest36> should i not be able to do what i want from mythweb?
[22:29] <link589> i was never able to do it through the web i always did it via terminal
[22:29] <link589> do you want to reset your mysql password?
[22:29] <darthanubis> might help
[22:29] <MythbuntuGuest36> is there a walk through to do that through terminal?
[22:29] <darthanubis> I've setup myth at least 50times
[22:29] <darthanubis> never had this issue
[22:30] <link589> you were trying to add a frontend?
[22:30] <link589> I messed up my database stuff it took me 3hours to fix it i dont remember the exact fix
[22:30] <link589> MythbuntuGuest36 i can help you do it through the terminal if you want
[22:31] <MythbuntuGuest36> link589: that would be great
[22:31] <link589> can you ssh into the box or do you have physical access?
[22:35] <darthanubis> Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[22:35] <darthanubis> why would access be denied
[22:35] <darthanubis> I'm using the database passwd
[22:35] <darthanubis> the user is part of the mythtv group
[22:40] <darthanubis> it also flashes no upnp backends found
[22:41] <link589> hmm weird
[22:41] <superm1> darthanubis, look in ~/.mythtv/config.xml and ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
[22:41] <link589> are you using mythbuntu
[22:41] <superm1> for inconsistencies
[22:43] <darthanubis> link589, no
[22:43] <darthanubis> superm1, they are consistent, same username group and password
[22:43] <superm1> darthanubis, same as /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt?
[22:43] <superm1> darthanubis, and there is a mythweb conf in /etc/mythtv you can compare it against too
[22:46] <darthanubis> /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt does not have the password entry
[22:46] <superm1> darthanubis, is this not ubuntu either?  that's built when the package is installed
[22:47] <darthanubis> its ubuntu
[22:47] <darthanubis> intrepid
[22:47] <superm1> interesting
[22:48] <superm1> sql is on the same box?
[22:48] <darthanubis> yup
[22:48] <darthanubis> at one point i had the frontend running and connected
[22:48] <darthanubis> now I don't know why its not
[22:49] <superm1> is the backend failing to start too?
[22:49] <superm1> did you enter *anything* into the root password requests when you installed myth?
[22:50] <superm1> or just keep defaults?
[22:50] <darthanubis> frontend nor mythtv-setup will get past selecting the language and the second screen because it claims not to be able to login to the database
[22:50] <superm1> can you log into the db manually then at least?
[22:50] <darthanubis> I entered my root passwd
[22:50] <darthanubis> once I did that once
[22:50] <darthanubis> I did not again
[22:50] <superm1> gah, that's probably threw things off
[22:51] <darthanubis> because I did not change the root password
[22:51] <superm1> when you use pristine packages
[22:51] <superm1> the root password thing can mess things up pretty bad
[22:51] <darthanubis> the backend is running though
[22:51] <superm1> if you stop it and restart it, does it still run?
[22:51] <darthanubis> hmmm
[22:51] <darthanubis> yes
[22:51] <superm1> if so, then you'll need to check /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt and compare it to ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
[22:52] <superm1> and
[22:52] <superm1> if so, then you'll need to check /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml and compare it to ~/.mythtv/config.xml
[22:52] <darthanubis> but transcoding fails, have not look into why as of yet though
[22:54] <darthanubis> this is so strange
[22:54] <darthanubis> I knew to check those
[22:54] <darthanubis> thats the first thing I do from experience
[22:54] <darthanubis> I did not know about /etc/mythtv though
[22:55] <darthanubis> the backend is recording now
[22:55] <superm1> well generally /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt should be symlinked all around the system
[22:55] <superm1> so you shouldn't need to know about it
[22:55] <darthanubis> now mythweb can't connect to the backend
[22:55] <superm1> if you can reproduce the entire use case that caused this to happen in a bug, maybe we can isolate it to solve it
[22:56] <superm1> eg run this in a vm with the exact same answers to questions when installed
[22:56] <superm1> and record notes so that we can see where it breaks
[22:57] <darthanubis> k
[23:10] <wolf_> Im trying to get my remote to work in lirc with irxevent but cant find the real name of a few keys i want to bind, can i make the terminal record what im pressing and tell me what keys they are?
[23:10] <superm1> eg like ircat?
[23:10] <tgm4883_laptop> wolf_, irw?
[23:10] <superm1> or irw
[23:10] <wolf_> tgm4883_laptop, that records the remote keys
[23:10] <superm1> it's one of those
[23:10] <superm1> i think tgm4883_laptop is right
[23:11] <superm1> irw
[23:11] <superm1> oh real keys
[23:11] <superm1> xev
[23:11] <wolf_> that will display a key when i use the remote
[23:11] <tgm4883_laptop> irw shows you what remote keys are pressed
[23:12] <wolf_> hmm xev seems to display too much information, im not showing the key name
[23:13] <superm1> it shows the key name in there though
[23:13] <superm1>     state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
[23:13] <tgm4883_laptop> wolf_, are you looking for something like
[23:13] <wolf_> trying to find it
[23:13] <tgm4883_laptop> 000000037ff07bf2 01 Home mceusb
[23:13] <superm1> in that case, my keyname was ALT_L
[23:13] <tgm4883_laptop> where Home is the remote key name
[23:15] <wolf_> hmm
[23:15] <wolf_> it does it when i do a reuglar key
[23:15] <wolf_> but not when i do the key im wanting
[23:15] <wolf_> there is a play button my my keyboard
[23:15] <wolf_> that is what im trying to capture
[23:15] <tgm4883_laptop> wolf_, looks like that button isn't configured
[23:15] <tgm4883_laptop> you probably need to record it
[23:16] <wolf_> it works fine
[23:16] <wolf_> in all the programs i have
[23:16] <superm1> if you are in gnome, you have to unbind it probably
[23:16] <superm1> or record it outside gnome
[23:17] <wolf_> http://pastebin.ca/1201367
[23:17] <wolf_> tahts what im getting
[23:17] <wolf_> i did d first
[23:17] <wolf_> that shows up fine
[23:17] <wolf_> then the one just below that is the Play button
[23:21] <wolf_> mm
[23:21] <wolf_> any ideas?
[23:33] <tritium> What does file size "B" on the mythweb "Recorded Programs" page indicate?
[23:34] <tritium> Shows it tried (and failed) to record give me messages similar to this one: "3071_20080912162600.mpg does not exist in any recognized storage group directories for this host." if I try to access them via mythweb.  And, of course, they don't play back on the frontend.
[23:36] <tritium> Are there any logs to view to determine why mythtv is failing to record schedule programs?
[23:36] <tgm4883_laptop> !logs

[23:41] <tritium> Yes, the Oprah Winfrey show was for my wife.  Hence, the urgency to fix the problem.  ;)
[23:42] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> do other shows record?
[23:43] <tritium> Yes.
[23:44] <tritium> Comcast screws around with its customers.  Sometimes the HD ABC channel is available, and sometimes not, so I had her use the *non* default tuner, a DVB card, rather than the HDHomeRun.
[23:44] <tritium> That's the only main difference from other recordings.
[23:45] <tritium> Oh, the DVB card get OTA, while the HDHR is connected to cable.
[23:45] <tritium> But, I can watch Live TV, including ABC with the dvb card, so I know it's getting that channel.
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> isn't Oprah on NBC?
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> I plead the 5th on why I know that
[23:46] <tritium> No, ABC.
[23:47] <tritium> Oh, I see that she successfully recorded Smallville last night using the dvb card.
[23:47] <darthanubis> how do you guys get an accurate read on your core temps?
[23:48] <tritium> darthanubis: I've never checked
[23:48] <darthanubis> wow
[23:49] <tritium> Wow what?
[23:58] <MythbuntuGuest36> are there any places to find more skins for mythtv?  I was at cedia and there was a linux based media server that had a really cool interface.
