frozenskunkCan someone please help me get my remotes up and running with a commandir? I've been trying for months to get them going with mythbuntu, and had no luck. I can (sometimes) get mode2 to see data, and (sometimes) get irw to see my dish network remote, but can't get my Hauppauge A415-HPG to be recognized. I had it working until the girlfriend did an upgrade to 8.04 and overwrote all the config files, I haven't been able to get th00:08

frozenskunk1hello? 3 hours, and not a single response!?!?!00:39
tgm4883_laptop!weekend | frozenskunk00:40
Zinnfrozenskunk: It's a weekend.  Often on weekends a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question.  Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the week.00:40
frozenskunk1makes sense, in the past weekends have been when I got the best response, just glad to see there are people here, not just bots... Thanks!00:40
squish102frozenskunk1 not that i can help you, but i did the same thing, 7.10 worked fine, 8.04 screwed it up so bad, that i eventually bought a new remote00:42
frozenskunk1yeah, ready to pull my hair out, I had a box up and running for 2-3 years, and since 8.04 was released it has just gathered dust, I have even tried going back to knoppmyth, but it is sucha horrrible platform to try and work on when you used to ubuntu I gave up.00:43
frozenskunk1what remote did you go to? Buying a remote seems much cheaper than the professional help I will require from a mental health specialist... ;-)00:44
frozenskunk1I'm using a commanIR mini with Dish Network boxes, did that work for your setup?00:46
squish102i am using a microsoft mce remote ir receiver00:48
squish102worked out the box00:48
frozenskunk1Is that a card, usb-device?00:48
squish102usb device00:49
frozenskunk1I have a PVR-350, PVR-500, with the Hauppauge A415-HPG remote through a commandIR mini, with 3 dish network boxes...00:49
squish102well i have a pvr-150, and a ati HD tuner, and i dont controll anything else00:50
squish102although the mce remote has 2 ir transmitters00:51
frozenskunk1hmm... I need at least 3, since I have 3 dish network boxes. CommandIR gives 4.00:51
squish102im lucky, i dont need to control any boxes, and just tuner the tuners00:53
frozenskunk1I can get the commandIR to see signals, and even give the right output through irw sometimes, just not all the time, and I can't get irsend to work at all with it anymore. frustrating as hell since both commandIR and mythbuntu docs claims that it 'justworks'00:53
squish102eexactly my experience00:53
squish102it was just ment to work, which is how my previous ir receiver worked when on 7.1000:54
squish102went to 8.04 and spent weeks trying to figure out how to get it working again00:54
squish102installed old 7.10 on another machine, ir worked fine again00:54
frozenskunk1yeah, seems like I have to fiddle with the lircd.conf file a little with 7.10, but had it working with a small enough amount of work that I didn't bother to write it down, have spent almost 6 months now trying to get it to work under 8.04. I may just try to go back with 7.10 again since you say that00:55
frozenskunk1I am beating my head against a wall now, I thought that I had a grasp on myth/linux, but this is just silly!00:56

CRXLPYI just got done searching the forums, I could not find my issue but I know it has to be something silly. I can watch recordings and they skip commercials flawlessly, but if I burn a dvd all the commercials are part of the dvd.... not what I want of course. I have tried transcoding then making an iso, I have tried saving a cutlist then making iso. but I cant get rid of the commercials. what am I missing? I want to make an iso w/o co02:11
frozenskunk1anyone here that can help with ComandIR and a Haupaugge remote?02:30

v0lksmanhey all...I was able to use nuvexport to transcode a video yesterday.  but when I went to transcode the next one (the same way) it craps out without any error.  Running in debug it doesn't provide any help...just goes through all the steps in less than a second and says complete.  how can I troubleshoot this?  can dpaste the output if someone wants to check it18:08
v0lksmanhrm...thought I had tried a different file but I just did again and it's working on the newer recording.  Weird...18:16

jmichelse1I am looking to use mythbuntu to start my first media center PC. I have a tuner I bought a long time ago but I have been unable to find a guide or a post by anyone that has used this particular tuner, is there a complete list of compatible devices somewhere? it's a Kworld external USB tuner box19:51
directhexif it's linux-compatible (check the linuxtv wiki) it's myth compatible19:51
jmichelse1directhex: is that source pretty up to date?19:52
directhexmeh. so-so. relies on non-lazy users updating it19:53
jmichelse1haha19:53
jmichelse1sounds like linux19:54
directhexwell that also relies on non-lazy users updating it19:54
jmichelse1yea19:54
jmichelse1I have been looking all over at guides and things, I am semi new to linux and completely new to pc-tv, is there a good guide on getting a card installed and working ? generic guide that runs htourgh the diff commands to test the card and stuff?19:55
directhexdigital tv?19:56
jmichelse1antenna19:58
jmichelse1just to install the tuner though-19:58
directhexdigital or analog antenna?19:58
jmichelse1analog20:00
directhexright. is it plugged in?20:02
jmichelse1yea usb tuner, its plugged in20:02
directhexdoes "ls /dev/video*" return anything?20:02
jmichelse1lsusb shows the tuner, il check dev/video20:05
jmichelse1it doest see /dev/video20:07
jmichelse1*20:07
directhexlsusb only tells you whether a device has identified itself to the machine, it doesn't mean a thing about whether there are drivers or not, or whether it works or not20:07
jmichelse1ok20:08
zabbadappI have added a second HD (PATA, /dev/sda) to my mythbox and it won't spin down with hdparm -S240 /dev/sda ... I noticed that if I force spindown with hdparm -y /dev/sda it only stays down for a second, then spin up again! Why is that?20:58
jcastroHi, I am wondering why mythbuntu is linked to the mythtv package here: https://edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+packages21:07
superm1what's it mean for a package to be linked on that page?21:14
jcastroI have no idea21:25
jcastrothe link screws up my upstream report though, that's why I was wondering what the link does.21:25
superm1i dont recall ever setting that up, but i also don't see anything obvious for how to remove it21:26
jcastroI think I can get it removed, but I have no idea what it's for21:27
superm1well nothing we did afaik21:27
superm1so feel free to get it nuked21:27
jcastrook, if someone hollers send them my way and I'll try to figure something out21:27
