| bobbob1016 | I currently have a P4 HT. It runs fine, but has some problems with 1080p. I have the chance to buy a Pentium Dual-Core E2140 machine, and I've been benchmarking it on the 64bit LiveCD Mythbuntu, running mplayer -benchmark.... Would the 32bit be worth a try or no? | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| bobbob1016 | Because the 64bit benchmarks aren't too much better than my P4. | 00:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what are you using to benchmark? | 00:53 |
| bobbob1016 | tgm4883_laptop, mplayer -benchmark, a bunch of options, then a file. The same 1080p mkv I benchmarked on my P4 | 00:56 |
| bobbob1016 | It plays more or less ok on my P4. When I do the benchmark with -vo null, it takes about 30s, the P4 does it in 36s. However, with gl:yuv=6, they are basically equal. Probably because the Dual-Core is a 1.6 and the P4 is 3.4, but I can't find a place to overclock it, or anything, since according to google, it's a underclocked c2d | 00:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 00:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what you might want to benchmark would be something like transcoding files | 00:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | although if you never do that then I suppose it doesn't matter | 00:59 |
| bobbob1016 | do the nvidia drivers work worse on the livecd (I did ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x)? or on 64bit? | 00:59 |
| bobbob1016 | I have my current machine, my quad, to do transcoding | 00:59 |
| bobbob1016 | and I can't hook this up to my TV | 00:59 |
| bobbob1016 | I was just thinking maybe the 64bit drivers could be worse on 64bit/livecd | 01:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well for playback i'm not sure 64-bit computing would offer that much benefit | 01:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i've been known to be wrong though | 01:00 |
| bobbob1016 | You know if nvidia drivers are worse on 64bit? | 01:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | they work on my system | 01:00 |
| bobbob1016 | They work here, I just thought they might be worse on 64bit vs 32bit | 01:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I don't know why they would be | 01:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | are you using 8.04? | 01:01 |
| bobbob1016 | 8.04.1 | 01:01 |
| bobbob1016 | whichever is the newest | 01:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah ok | 01:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the 8.10 alpha's have some issues with installing the restricted drivers during install | 01:02 |
| bobbob1016 | I did envy... | 01:04 |
| bobbob1016 | restricted drivers didn't show any hardware | 01:04 |
| bobbob1016 | tgm4883_laptop, is there any way to migrate my existing settings from my old mythbuntu to here, or no? | 01:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you could transfer the db, have you checked the manual? | 01:10 |
| bobbob1016 | tgm4883_laptop, No, I didn't think it'd be possible, I'll check the manual. Also, on 64bit, have you noticed any filetypes you can't play? | 01:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 01:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | why would I? | 01:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | are there some? | 01:12 |
| bobbob1016 | Mplayer gave me some sort of warning about that, but I wasn't sure. | 01:13 |

| pteague | i'm trying to figure out what some of the symbols means under the "watch recordings" ... there's the clock (?), the flag (guessing flagged for deletion), 2 speakers facing away from each other with a red & blue dot under it (??), & cc (closed caption)... what's the speaker thingys? | 03:45 |
| gankthoven | anyone here have an hvr-2250 | 03:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | pteague, if you hit the M key (the green home button on USBMCE2 remote) you can select help and it will show you the icons | 04:18 |
| pteague | i'm guessing that's the 'windows' button on mine | 04:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | probably | 04:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's the windows one on mine too | 04:19 |
| pteague | it's a big green button | 04:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but irw shows it as "Home" | 04:20 |
| pteague | frustrating thing is my page up/page down button on the remote doesn't page up/page down... 3 & 9 do... ^^ | 04:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea there is a reason for that, I don't remember it off hand though | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can fix it if you like | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's an easy fix | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I think it's because some MCEUSB2 remotes don't have this button | 04:21 |
| pteague | i noticed on 1 of the other screens i think it was 1 & 7 changes the day or something... | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to edit your .mythtv/lircrc file and change the chanup/chandown buttons to correspond to the pageup/pagedown buttons | 04:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if your remote actually has pageup/pagedown buttons, that could be different | 04:22 |
| Administrator | I get choppy audio when playing some 720p mkv files with AC3 audio, any suggestions? | 04:34 |

| pteague | how big of a difference is there between 720p (768) & 1080p on a 32" ? | 05:04 |
| gomike | i cant tell the difference | 05:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | about 360p | 05:05 |
| hads | On a 32" not a lot | 05:06 |
| pteague | trying to figure out if i want a 32" or 37"... | 05:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | pteague, you want a 37" | 05:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I've had both side by side at home | 05:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | 37 is much nicer/larger | 05:12 |
| hads | 'tis quite a difference. | 05:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | although I suppose it's how far you are away from it | 05:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but 12 feet away, the 37 kills the 32 | 05:12 |
| pteague | just hope i can fit it in my car... | 05:12 |
| hads | At least with an LCD you can jam them in lying down. | 05:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | pteague, IIRC, you can just squeeze a 37" vizio in the box into the back of a toyota camry | 05:13 |
| pteague | i've got a '97 honda civic | 05:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 05:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | doubt it then | 05:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the camry is more like the accord | 05:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | bigger back seat | 05:15 |
| hads | Suprising what you can fit in a hatch | 05:15 |
| pteague | my current tv is an '80s 26" cube | 05:17 |
| pteague | if it wasn't cube i could probably fit it in | 05:17 |

| ord_ | really? i don't have million$ | 14:58 |
| gomike | I asked the same question a few weeks ago and didnt understand the answer | 14:59 |
| ord_ | :) | 14:59 |
| ord_ | the thing is I have to go to preferences everytime I want to see the new files in the folder | 14:59 |
| gomike | so i just go to video manager it manually resync when i need to | 14:59 |
| ord_ | I'm sure it can be automated (atleast every once in 2 hours or so0 | 14:59 |
| gomike | yes it can, there is some beta thing i think but dont remember what it is called | 15:00 |
| ord_ | some plugin? | 15:00 |

| ord_ | ok thank you | 15:00 |
| ord_ | someone else? | 15:01 |

| jphillip | superm1 as opposed to? | 15:26 |
| superm1 | anything on newegg for XYZ dollars off? | 15:27 |
| jphillip | superm1 just the HDHR, you should sign up for their emails they send a few out a week with different codes in them | 15:28 |

| javatexan | okay stupid question...I know I used to know this...is there a way to start a main loop type program without logging into the box. I think they call this "running as system" in windows, but I can't remember if you can do this in linux. I also seem to remember setting up a tty in the background, auto login and run program. Then I run into problem that I dont want this program to run everytime root logs in, just once for the syste | 15:58 |
| javatexan | s/root/someone | 15:58 |
| laga_ | init script? | 16:01 |
| laga_ | cron? | 16:01 |
| javatexan | ah...yes...thanks | 16:01 |
| javatexan | LOL...i googled and googled..but without the right terms...nothing...:) | 16:01 |
| stevieman | Does anyone know how to set the channel on the PVR-150? I am trying to use a sat stb with my 150 (via coax)but all I am getting is static when I try a mplayer /dev/video0. | 16:07 |
| jphillip | stevieman you need to irblast for that | 16:10 |
| === superm1 is now known as superm1|away | ||
| stevieman | jphillip: I need the 150s tuner channel to be set the channel 3. I am getting the same type of static when you hook a VCR up to the tv and set the channel to anything but 3. | 16:13 |
| stevieman | I haven't even got to the point of trying to control the Sat. STB yet. Just trying to get video from the STB to the 150. | 16:14 |
| jphillip | stevieman in mythtv-setup you can tell it which channel to tune to | 16:29 |
| janneg | superm1|away: if you have some time could you join #lirc, jarod and me are corodinating the lirc submission there and have some questions | 16:30 |
| === superm1|away is now known as superm1 | ||
| stevieman | jphillip: Yah I tried that but all I get is a blank screen. | 16:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stevieman, is your stb set to channel 4? | 16:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or even better, if you are using an stb, why don't you use composite or svideo | 16:42 |
| stevieman | tgm4883: No it's locked to channel 3, because my 150 only has coax in, ummmm maybe it has svideo, oh now you've got me thinking | 16:43 |
| stevieman | I'll give the svideo connections a try tonight, any special setup I need to do or should it just detect the svideo signal. | 16:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stevieman, you will need to go into mythtv-setup and tell it to use the svideo input | 17:35 |
| stevieman | tgm4883_laptop: Good to know, I'll have to hunt for that, it's so hard t-shooting when you are not on the system. | 18:30 |
| barlrol | hi I just fresh installed 8.04 and installed myth tv and I'm having problems connecting to my database. Everything is Standard as far as my database settings. Mythtv password mythconverg ect... | 19:39 |
| Wicked | hello all. i just got a comcast settop box(scientific atlanta) and im trying to set up the blaster. in the mythbuntu-control-center i checked enable irc transmitter and selected the pvr-150 scientific atlant option. but when i hit apply..it just hung..and in dmesg i see this: http://pastebin.com/m33e933e ...and i dont see my ir blaster blink at all. | 20:19 |
| Wicked | i cannot get the blaster to work..... | 20:20 |
| jphillip | it might help to stick around for a response :) | 20:41 |
| Anusien | I think Wicked assumed they just weren't getting a response | 20:46 |
| Anusien | I'll be messing around with a similar type of box (same manufacturer) so I kinda wanted to hear a response; but I haven't tried to set mine up yet | 20:47 |
| jphillip | I'd say to try out firewire | 20:47 |
| jphillip | best case you can capture the video via firewire, worst case you can tune channels via firewire then capture some other way | 20:48 |
| jphillip | Wicked that applies to you as well ^ | 20:48 |
| Wicked | well right now...i just set mythtv to channel 3..then use the remote that came with the cablebox to change channels..but i have no idea how mythtv is gonna act when it trys to record a tv show for me | 20:49 |
| jphillip | firewire in itself is a headache and a half, but it may be a valid solution depending on how bad comcast is in your area | 20:49 |
| Wicked | no matter what i do.....i cant get the blaster to work....ive followed a few guides and they all dont work | 20:49 |
| Wicked | im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Hardy | 20:50 |
| Wicked | and i dled the firmware and placed it in /lib/firmware....i then rebooted...but i see this in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/mf6f005 | 20:50 |
| Anusien | jphillip: You mean firewire as in IEEE1394? | 20:51 |
| jphillip | yep | 20:51 |
| jphillip | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire | 20:51 |
| Anusien | I kinda want to ask TWC for the hidef card they're legally obligated to provide | 20:52 |
| Anusien | jphillip: neat, thanks | 20:52 |
| Anusien | but my remote works through my tuner card, so who knows | 20:52 |
| jphillip | by law that have to provide you with firewire and access to the OTA channels | 20:53 |
| jphillip | which most places seem to do | 20:53 |
| jphillip | sometimes you get lucky and they aren't encrypting others, for instant I can get most of my HD channels | 20:53 |
| jphillip | also for those of you who may have missed it newegg has the HDHR on sale for $138something today if you sign up for their email newsletter | 20:54 |
| Anusien | There's a port on the back labelled "IR" weird | 20:55 |
| Wicked | bah brb. | 20:55 |
| Anusien | jphillip: this reuqires firewire on the mythbox too, no? | 20:56 |
| Anusien | jphillip: So the pro is that you don't need IR blaster, and the con is that it's flaky and you won't get encrypted streams? | 20:58 |
| barlrol | can anyone help me | 21:05 |
| Anusien | maybe | 21:07 |
| barlrol | :) | 21:08 |
| barlrol | ok well i installed mythtv with all the default settings and stuff and i cant connect to the database | 21:08 |
| barlrol | no root password for mysql database name mythconverg username mythtv and password | 21:08 |
| barlrol | ive been reading the forums all night/morning | 21:09 |
| barlrol | tried commenting out some shit in mysql conf file | 21:09 |
| jphillip | Anusien pretty much | 21:10 |
| jphillip | another pro is you can get actual HD out of it | 21:10 |
| jphillip | channel tuning is very safe with it, just getting the stream is the problem | 21:11 |
| barlrol | localhost is the same thing as loopback right 127.0.0.1? | 21:11 |
| jphillip | yes | 21:11 |
| barlrol | I dont understand why im having so many problems here with mysql server | 21:11 |
| jphillip | barlrol you are positive you didn't set a root password for mysql? | 21:12 |
| barlrol | positive...but is there a way i can prove it to you | 21:12 |
| jphillip | do this mysql -uroot mythconverg | 21:12 |
| barlrol | ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) | 21:13 |
| barlrol | tyler@Intel:~$ | 21:13 |
| jphillip | does it log you in? | 21:13 |
| jphillip | seems it has a password | 21:13 |
| barlrol | ok well what happened is I installed it once with a password then i read a guide that said you want to leave the password blank | 21:13 |
| barlrol | so i uninstalled it with package manager and chose complete removal...2nd time i installed it i left it blank | 21:14 |
| jphillip | barlrol not necessary, if you leave it blank then you answer blank when it asks you later | 21:14 |
| jphillip | well do you remember what the password was? | 21:14 |
| jphillip | do mysql -uroot -p mythconverg | 21:14 |
| jphillip | and type that password in | 21:14 |
| barlrol | where does the password go in that command? | 21:14 |
| jphillip | it will ask then | 21:14 |
| barlrol | k | 21:14 |
| jphillip | or you can type it right after the p, your choice | 21:14 |
| barlrol | thanks for the help so far btw | 21:15 |

| jphillip | ok good barlrol | 21:17 |
| barlrol | good? | 21:17 |
| jphillip | do sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 21:17 |
| jphillip | and type in the root password when it asks you | 21:17 |
| jphillip | it should make your db then | 21:17 |

| barlrol | cause after i typed that one thing earlier i got that database not created error or whatever | 21:22 |

| Wicked | id really really like to get this to work. | 22:10 |

| barlrol | * Stopping MythTV server: mythbackend [ OK ] | 22:14 |
| barlrol | * Restarting MythTV server: mythbackend No /usr/bin/mythbackend found running; none killed. | 22:14 |
| barlrol | how do i get to the setup utility | 22:15 |
| Wicked | so i cant get my ir blaster to work...and i have shows scheduled to record later on.....how is mythtv gonna handle this? will it switch channels on the tuner card from channel 3 to the channel of what show want to record?. will it just record static and snow?. Id like to figure this all out | 22:15 |
| jphillip | barlrol mythtv-setup? | 22:17 |
| jphillip | just type that | 22:17 |
| jphillip | or are you referring to MCC (mythbuntu-control-centre) | 22:17 |
| barlrol | nm jpphillip i got it stupid question sorry...i think i got mythtv to reconize my card now | 22:19 |
| fbnts | Hi all, what is the VNC server used in mythbuntu and is there a way to install/configure it from the shell? | 22:53 |
| Anusien | You can use whatever vnc server you want, and yes there is | 22:56 |
| superm1 | x11vnc is the one used by default | 22:57 |
| Anusien | <3 x11vnc | 22:57 |
| fbnts | ah ok - its just the backend server has no monitor and I don't think i setup the VNC setting in the config | 22:58 |
| fbnts | I tried to run x11vnc -display :0 but it can't find the X Display | 22:59 |
| Anusien | x11vnc lets a user connect and see the current session in use. So if there isn't one, x11vnc won't work for you | 23:00 |
| fbnts | ah, i'll check the X11 log to see why its not started | 23:00 |
| Anusien | if you haven't logged in, for example, I don't know that x11vnc will work | 23:01 |
| superm1 | there are other vnc servers that will run as independent X displays that would be more interesting to you | 23:01 |
| superm1 | vnc4server is an example | 23:01 |
| fbnts | ah, the log shows: AUDIT: Tue Sep 16 22:28:58 2008: 5981 X: client 4 rejected from local host (uid 1000) | 23:01 |
| Anusien | it might also be that a vnc session is in use | 23:01 |
| Anusien | Which is a horrible way of saying that if you're trying to run it on a certian display, and there's already a server sitting on that display, things will go badly for yuo | 23:02 |
| fbnts | ps -aux | grep x11vnc shows no entries so its not currently running | 23:02 |
| superm1 | fbnts, you can always X forward MCC to enable it for you | 23:02 |
| fbnts | can I configure the autologin from the shell - If I recall the backend doesn't auto log in so that'll probably be stopping x11vnc | 23:05 |
| superm1 | you'll have to hand modify /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf then | 23:06 |
| superm1 | to do that | 23:06 |
| fbnts | Wahoo that worked! | 23:07 |
| Anusien | is there a reason you want to autologin and x11vnc instead of just running a vnc server that starts a new X session? | 23:08 |
| fbnts | well x11vnc is already installed and configured so i guess its cleaner than having to uninstall x11vnc | 23:12 |
| fbnts | its only rarely I have to log into the back end graphically - just my tuner card has screwed up again so need to get to the graphical backend | 23:13 |
| Anusien | for firewire from a Scientific Atlanta box, I juts need some sort of male-male firewire cable that fits both holes, right? | 23:14 |
| Anusien | there's no special cable needed ,right? | 23:17 |
| centrex | regarding setting up satellite and mythv, is there any way to have mythtv change the channels on a dish receiver? Would it use some type of infrared to do it? | 23:43 |
| TazgodX | ok, time to play with my AT&T box hardcore for the next hour | 23:50 |
| Anusien | centrex: I know in cable-land, they call them IR Blasters | 23:55 |
| centrex | Anusien, yeah someone informed me of that, and I found a great tutorial on how to make one. Thanks! | 23:55 |
