| Wicked | i seem to be suffering from this bug and have no idea what i can do to make my pvr-150 ir blaster work https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/222359 | 01:53 |
| Wicked | would compiling lirc from source fix this?. and would it break other things? | 01:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if anyone can help make some sense of this it would be greatly appreciated http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m1706407f | 03:06 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, it appears that you have some mis defined vars in a function or you are improperly calling them from your included ones | 03:09 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, be back in a sec though...just installed VB | 03:09 |
| bert_ | Does anyone know where I can get a sample irblaster file so I can make one for my STB? | 03:16 |
| kwilliam | Hi, I've got a Mythbuntu Frontend+Backend machine, and I'm trying to connect to it with a frontend on my laptop. I get sound but no video?? | 03:22 |
| kwilliam | Any idea why/how that would happen? Too slow a connection? | 03:23 |
| hads | Check the logs | 03:23 |
| kwilliam_ | brb, going to try a quick experiment in switching DEs. | 03:42 |
| kwilliam | Ah, well, I've figured out the problem. MythTV's frontend doesn't like window managers very much. | 03:56 |
| kwilliam | No video with KDE4's window manager (probably conflicts with the OpenGL effects) | 03:56 |
| kwilliam | and choppy video in KDE3 with compositing | 03:56 |
| kwilliam | works fine as it's own log in | 03:56 |
| kwilliam | (several entries were added to kdm, including OpenBox and a MythTV one) | 03:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | kwilliam, works fine here on Kubuntu 8.10 | 03:59 |
| kwilliam | tgm4883_laptop: Are you running KDE4? | 03:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yep | 03:59 |
| kwilliam | tgm4883_laptop: What video card? | 04:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | intel 965 I believe | 04:00 |
| kwilliam | D@#$ #@$ &*. I'm never going to live down buying an Nvidia card for my laptop instead of sticking with Intel. | 04:01 |
| kwilliam | Lol | 04:01 |
| hads | Yeah, works here fine here with nvidia | 04:01 |
| kwilliam | Huh... can either of you guys share a copy of your xorg.conf? Maybe mine is missing some options. | 04:02 |
| hads | Of course I'd rather have an Intel chipset but I need dual DVI for this desktop. | 04:02 |
| hads | There's nothing special about my xorg.conf | 04:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nothing special in mine either, it's stock 8.10 | 04:02 |
| kwilliam | Well, I've "upgraded" since Edgy here, so maybe stock is what I need. :-) | 04:03 |
| kwilliam | hads: since you've got nvidia, yours might be more helpful. paste bin, maybe? | 04:03 |
| hads | This desktop is upgraded from about dapper or something :) | 04:05 |
| kwilliam | well, you must have edited xorg.conf then, right? | 04:05 |
| hads | That's the (not) interesting part of my xorg.conf; http://paste.pocoo.org/show/85489/ | 04:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stock http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d68197e52 | 04:06 |
| kwilliam | thnks, I'll take a look........ | 04:07 |
| hads | Probably loads of cruft in there from days gone. | 04:07 |
| kwilliam | tgm4883_laptop: Lol, I noticed when I installed mythbuntu that the new xorg.conf files don't tell you anything do they? All configured automagically by hotplugging or something? | 04:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | kwilliam, this is the new way of doing it, I believe because of bulletproof x | 04:12 |
| kwilliam | tgm4883_laptop: well, how does a user figure out what his X settings are then? | 04:14 |
| kwilliam | hads: I notice I have AddARGBGLXVisuals in a different section | 04:14 |
| kwilliam | Here's my xorg http://pastebin.com/md9154c | 04:15 |
| kwilliam | well, at least it works in it's own log in. I'll save getting the frontend working nicely an app in the KDE4 environment for another day. | 04:20 |
| kwilliam | hads: wait, are you running KDE4 or just tgm4883? | 04:21 |
| hads | I'm running Gnome at the moment. I have run both KDE3 and KDE4 though. | 04:21 |
| kwilliam | does the frontend work in KDE4? | 04:22 |
| kwilliam | Mine runs, but has black video | 04:22 |
| kwilliam | Well, thanks hads and tgm4883_laptop; you've narrowed the problem down considerably. Now I know the problem is X or DE related, and not a prob with my Myth configuration. | 04:27 |
| hads | Yes, it works fine in any desktop env. | 04:27 |
| kwilliam | Huh, I'll have to google around and see if anyone else has experienced my problem and twiddle with X settings. Another day though, I've got to get some sleep. Thanks again guys! hads, you've given me hope! | 04:28 |

| rockhound | hi everyone ... is there a solution for the audio buffer underrun issues? I am suffering severly via SPDIF ... | 19:13 |
| stevieman | Does anyone know what I need to do to create a irblaster file to control my STB? I have the remote hex codes but I don't know where to even begin to look for a sample file I can change. | 19:27 |
| rockhound | google for mythbuntu lirc | 19:28 |
| rockhound | lirc is a remote daemon ... | 19:28 |
| stevieman | So mythbuntu uses Lirc... Good to know | 19:29 |
| rockhound | jepp | 19:33 |
| rockhound | work well here | 19:33 |
| stevieman | cool, I wasn't sure as I didn't see any reference to Lirc in the mythbuntu menus (that I can remember) | 19:36 |
| rockhound | it works by creating a lircrc in the .mythtv directory of the user running the frontend ... check the official mythtv docs, it details it a bit ... | 19:38 |
| rockhound | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LIRC | 19:39 |
| stevieman | So I should be able to grab a file from my machine a mod it with the hex codes correct? | 20:01 |
| stevieman | I was very excited last night when I finally got video in myth from my STB. It was cool to see such old hardware functioning fine as a PVR. | 20:05 |
| rockhound | hehe | 20:14 |
| rockhound | yes that is basically the way to run | 20:14 |
| jphillip | stevieman till you want to do HD and then said hardware becomes the best in your house :) | 20:14 |
| stevieman | he he | 20:15 |
| rockhound | lol | 20:16 |
| stevieman | I've been looking at a number of STB config files for Lirc and I am noticing that all of them I've seen say they have been automatically generated by lirc. | 20:16 |
| stevieman | Is there a way to have lirc read my STB remote and create a config file I can then select in mythbunutu control center? | 20:17 |
| jphillip | stevieman a config to read in or blast out? | 20:18 |
| stevieman | to blast out. the read portion of lirc is working great with my hauppauge remote, except for stopping a recording... | 20:19 |
| stevieman | I was hoping that I could run lirc with some command, point my stb remote at the sensor, start pressing buttons, tell lirc what each button is and generate a config file. | 20:20 |
| stevieman | then select that file and have myth blast the codes when I need to change channel, power on/off the unit | 20:21 |
| rockhound | stevieman: irrecord IIRC | 20:48 |
| rockhound | hold | 20:48 |
| rockhound | jupp thats corect | 20:48 |
| jphillip | irreord will capture IR inputs, I'm unsure if it is usable for blasting | 20:48 |
| rockhound | oh read his request wrong | 20:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest10 | anyone got sasc to compile under kernel 2.6.27? | 20:52 |
| stevieman | uggg sasc, gave up on that moons ago | 20:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest10 | what are you using instead? | 20:59 |
| stevieman | I'm using a STB going into a pvr-150 | 20:59 |
| stevieman | It's been a hassle to setup but having to recompile sasc every few weeks was becoming a nightmare | 21:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest10 | ok, you dont know of another softcam that works with mythtv and 2.6.27? | 21:03 |
| jphillip | !sasc-ng | 21:04 |
| Zinn | 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.

| stevieman | Not really, when I was doing that sasc was the only game in town. I gave up and sold my DVB-S card | 21:06 |
| stevieman | jphillip: So irrecord won't create a blaster config file? | 21:11 |
| jphillip | stevieman I'm not entirely sure, I know it will create your lirc configs for READING in a remote | 21:18 |
| jphillip | I have never blasted before | 21:18 |
| stevieman | cool, well I'll give it a try | 21:23 |
| stevieman | Is there a way to stop a manual recording? | 22:05 |
| stevieman | I pressed the record button this morning and thought I had stopped it by pressing the stop button the remote when I left for work. I happened to check mythweb and it's been recording all day long | 22:06 |
| stevieman | I cancelled the 'scheduel' in mythweb and the recording is still going but says it will stop at 17:30 | 22:06 |
