serppHello, I have a Hauppauge HVR-1600... I've managed to get video working by compiling the cx18 module and firmware...  However my audio just sounds like the occasional (once every 3-5 seconds) static noise and silent otherwise00:53
serppthe audio is the same way when i "mplayer /dev/video0" from the command line too00:55
Aquahallicevenin' folks00:59
serpphello aqua00:59
Aquahallicgot a buddy that's running an ubuntu hardy machine.. I wanna put mythtv on it.. backend and frontend.. but not the mythbuntu package that takes over the entire desktop... what package would I install as a base?? would it be the plain jane 'mythtv' package??01:00
Aquahallicthen I can go and add all the others like.. archive and mythvideo and all the themes??01:01
acrouseyI have an older pc, so I am wondering which version of mythbuntu i should download; would I want the ordinary or alternative? This is a pc with Pentium3.01:35
rhpot1991_laptopacrousey: i386 should work fine for you, you aren't planning on doing anything but SD with that right?01:38
acrouseyis i386 the ordinary download?01:40
acrouseyn/m01:40
acrouseyi just looked, it is... sorry01:40
rhpot1991_laptopyep01:41
acrouseyi just looked in the "installation manual" pdf and it says that the ati all-in-wonder series is known not to work with Mythbuntu, is this still true?01:42
MersaultWhich part of the system should auto-start mythfrontend at login?01:49
hanfmcan someone tell me a universe/multiverse source for mythbuntu?02:10

hanfmi cant reach packages.medibuntu.org is that only my problem?02:51

acrouseymy friend has an ATI usb pvr, but it was not working for him, so I want to see if it can work on my ubuntu/mythbuntu computer. Which way should i go with this? I don't have a TV card on my computer: I was just thinking that this may act as one, but it is not. Does anyone know how I can get this working?16:28
superm1those the USB devices that do cable card?16:28
acrouseyyeah16:29
superm1well last i heard there was no support for them in linux at all16:30
superm1hasn't been reverse engineered yet i believe16:30
acrouseyreally?16:31
acrouseythat's kind of a pain in the butt16:31
acrouseyis there a cheap yet quality TV tuner out there for linux? be it external or usb?16:34
superm1well so you can get a hdhomerun16:46
superm1that will do a atsc and qam16:46
superm1unencrypted16:47
superm1otherwise, the hvr-950q is usb and does both16:47
CabadraI have a question: I can't install mythbuntu, it says it can't mount my CD drive and I've tried the ide=nodma thing :)17:49

MythbuntuGuest29here is a question for y'all, can i edit the actuall metadata that mythtv gets back from imdb. i would like to add information to the description18:56
jduggan_MythbuntuGuest29: yes, you could just edit the data within mysql19:24
AnusienDoes UPnP for music files work with any client?20:29
AnusienThe supported client list seems just to talk about video20:30
Aquahallicafternoon20:58
rhpot1991Anusien: IIRC it doesn't work for the 36022:32
rhpot1991!mailinglist | Anusien22:33
ZinnAnusien: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-mythtv22:33
rhpot1991might be a good idea to ask there22:33
laga_even better, ask in #mythtv-users22:34
laga_the ubuntu-mythtv ML is very low traffic22:34
AnusienWas gonna say, why there than somewhere else?22:35
gankthovennoob question please bear with me.  i have an athlon be-2400 (dual core) processor.  is there any advantadges to installing the x86_64 image instead of the regular x86 distro22:35
AnusienDo you have a 64bit processor?22:36
gankthovenit'22:36
gankthovenits a 64bit processor yes22:36
gankthovendo i have to worry about drives like i do when choosing between windows 32 and 64bit operating systems22:37
AnusienWhat do you mean "worry about drives"?22:37
gankthovendrivers22:37
AnusienDid you build or buy your machine?22:37
gankthovenbuild22:37
gankthovenfoxconn 780g be-2400 2gig of ram22:38
gankthovenwaiting on purchasing a tuner22:38
gankthoventhe hvr-2250 looks awesome, awating linux drivers22:38
gankthovenfaily new to linux however i've played a little bit with ubuntu in the past22:38
Anusien64 bit OSes require different drivers, yes, so check your hardware for compliance22:39
gankthovenvery interested in mythubuntu for its qam support.  with vista qam requires some magic and the fact that its a bloated os also has me looking into mythubuntu22:39
Anusienqam?22:39
gankthovenso for better compatablility it would be easier to install the x386 build22:40
gankthovenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_amplitude_modulation22:40
Anusiencheck the drivers for your hardware22:40
rhpot1991gankthoven: if you want a good supported qam tunner look at the HDHR22:40
gankthovenits a method for recording hd cable channels22:40
gankthoventhats my second choice22:40
gankthovenit would actually be easier to use my mce2005 distro with an hdhr however i really want an internal tuner22:41
rhpot1991"easier" HDHR works OOB pretty much with mythbuntu22:42
gankthoventrue22:42
gankthovenits a badass external tuner22:43
gankthovenprolly the best tuner available22:43
gankthoveni just want to use an internal one22:44
gankthovenanyone here using an hvr-1600 on their mythubuntu box22:44
