[00:01] <hads> centrex: The MS MCE remote is popular and comes with a blaster that works out of the box.
[00:01] <hads> Although it looks like they may be discontinued now.
[00:01] <centrex> hads, I'll check that out, thanks.
[00:02] <hads> np
[01:05] <gomike> I am having trouble getting a 720p and 1080p mkv files when using the internal player, the video is fine but the audio cuts in and out, any suggestions?
[01:53] <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?
[03:06] <tgm4883_laptop> if anyone can help make some sense of this  it would be greatly appreciated  http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m1706407f
[03:09] <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
[03:16] <bert_> Does anyone know where I can get a sample irblaster file so I can make one for my STB?
[03:22] <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??
[03:23] <kwilliam> Any idea why/how that would happen? Too slow a connection?
[03:23] <hads> Check the logs
[03:42] <kwilliam_> brb, going to try a quick experiment in switching DEs.
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <kwilliam> (several entries were added to kdm, including OpenBox and a MythTV one)
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> kwilliam, works fine here on Kubuntu 8.10
[03:59] <kwilliam> tgm4883_laptop: Are you running KDE4?
[03:59] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[04:00] <kwilliam> tgm4883_laptop:  What video card?
[04:00] <tgm4883_laptop> intel 965 I believe
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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?
[04:05] <hads> This desktop is upgraded from about dapper or something :)
[04:05] <kwilliam> well, you must have edited xorg.conf then, right?
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <kwilliam> thnks, I'll take a look........
[04:07] <hads> Probably loads of cruft in there from days gone.
[04:10] <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?
[04:12] <tgm4883_laptop> kwilliam, this is the new way of doing it, I believe because of bulletproof x
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <kwilliam> Here's my xorg http://pastebin.com/md9154c
[04:20] <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.
[04:21] <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.
[04:22] <kwilliam> does the frontend work in KDE4?
[04:22] <kwilliam> Mine runs, but has black video
[04:27] <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.
[04:28] <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!
[05:24] <foxbuntu> hads, my applogies then, I ended up at the wrong FAQ
[05:24] <hads> foxbuntu: No problem
[19:13] <rockhound> hi everyone ... is there a solution for the audio buffer underrun issues? I am suffering severly via SPDIF ...
[19:27] <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.
[19:28] <rockhound> google for mythbuntu lirc
[19:28] <rockhound> lirc is a remote daemon ...
[19:29] <stevieman> So mythbuntu uses Lirc... Good to know
[19:33] <rockhound> jepp
[19:33] <rockhound> work well here
[19:36] <stevieman> cool, I wasn't sure as I didn't see any reference to Lirc in the mythbuntu menus (that I can remember)
[19:38] <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 ...
[19:39] <rockhound> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LIRC
[20:01] <stevieman> So I should be able to grab a file from my machine a mod it with the hex codes correct?
[20:05] <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.
[20:14] <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 :)
[20:15] <stevieman> he he
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <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?
[20:18] <jphillip> stevieman a config to read in or blast out?
[20:19] <stevieman> to blast out. the read portion of lirc is working great with my hauppauge remote, except for stopping a recording...
[20:20] <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.
[20:21] <stevieman> then select that file and have myth blast the codes when I need to change channel, power on/off the unit
[20:48] <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
[20:52] <MythbuntuGuest10> anyone got sasc to compile under kernel 2.6.27?
[20:59] <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
[21:00] <stevieman> It's been a hassle to setup but having to recompile sasc every few weeks was becoming a nightmare
[21:03] <MythbuntuGuest10> ok, you dont know of another softcam that works with mythtv and 2.6.27?
[21:04] <jphillip> !sasc-ng

[21:06] <stevieman> Not really, when I was doing that sasc was the only game in town. I gave up and sold my DVB-S card
[21:11] <stevieman> jphillip: So irrecord won't create a blaster config file?
[21:18] <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
[21:23] <stevieman> cool, well I'll give it a try
[22:05] <stevieman> Is there a way to stop a manual recording?
[22:06] <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
[22:48] <chrisbrl88> im lost
[22:48] <chrisbrl88> I keep getting a "cannot login to database?" error
[22:52] <chrisbrl88> anyone here?
[22:53] <kees> superm1|away: what does this mean in virtualbox-ose changelog?  "Set VirtualBox binaries to suid root per new hardening requirements in this release."
[22:55] <chrisbrl88> kees: I don't think there's anyone in here...
[22:55] <kees> chrisbrl88: yeah, I figure he'll see it when he's back.  :)
[22:56] <chrisbrl88> I can't figure out what's going on with mine and its driving me insans
[22:56] <chrisbrl88> insane*
