[05:27] <cobb28> is the mythtv backend the only computer that will need to be running the mysql database? or do i need that setup adn configured on my frontend i am trying to connect with also?
[08:14] <balz> what does mythfilldatabase do, exactly?
[11:13] <]oscar> I'm trying to install mythbuntu inside a new, fresh ubuntu installation (8.04.1)
[11:14] <]oscar> In MCC, services, I cannot start vnc services...
[11:15] <]oscar> Activating it, I must digit a new password, but nothing happens. Also rebooting, vns is not listening...

[13:11] <MythbuntuGuest13> hey guys, i'm getting really choppy playback in mythtv when playing dvds. VLC works fine...
[13:11] <MythbuntuGuest13> i ripped a dvd, and i still get choppy playback
[13:11] <MythbuntuGuest13> can anyone help please?
[13:23] <MythbuntuGuest13> investigated this further - looks like MythTV internal video player is the problem
[13:23] <MythbuntuGuest13> running ATI restricted drivers
[13:23] <MythbuntuGuest13> anyone know what I can do?
[16:20] <dshumate_> I have tested my tuner with mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0  and it works,  Iv'e done the complete install with no errors I can find, but when I go to watch tv all I get is a black screen for a few mins then it dumps back to menu.  Can someone please help me?
[16:27] <tgm4883_laptop> !blank screen | dshumate_
[16:27] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about blank screen
[16:27] <tgm4883_laptop> !black screen | dshumate_
[16:27] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about black screen
[16:27] <tgm4883_laptop> !bla% | dshumate_
[16:27] <Zinn> dshumate_: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory.  It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory
[16:27] <dshumate_> checking now
[16:30] <dshumate_> can't find a menu option to set record directory on the front end how do I determine where it is set?
[16:30] <tgm4883_laptop> you have to go into mythtv-setup on the backend
[16:32] <dshumate_> k checking there now, what is the reccomend place to set the directory in?  var?
[16:33] <tgm4883_laptop> /var/lib/mythtv/recordings
[16:34] <tgm4883_laptop> but you can stick it anywhere you want with the proper permissions
[16:34] <tgm4883_laptop> mines in /mythtv
[16:37] <dshumate_> okay did that same thing
[16:38] <dshumate_> with one difference I now have a file in that directory, where as before it was empty
[16:38] <dshumate_> still black screen and dump back ot menu after a few mins
[16:39] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[16:39] <tgm4883_laptop> pastebin your backend.log
[16:39] <tgm4883_laptop> !logs
[16:39] <Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/
[16:39] <tgm4883_laptop> !pastebin
[16:39] <Zinn> when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.
[16:42] <surge> anyone use a wintv pvr-150
[16:43] <dshumate_> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m42ab79b4
[16:43] <dshumate_> that is the one I use and am working with tgm4883_laptop to get working,  I did have it working under 7.04  (this is a fresh install by the way not and upgrade)
[16:44] <tgm4883_laptop> what tuner?
[16:44] <dshumate_> pvr 150
[16:44] <dshumate_> ivtv
[16:44] <tgm4883_laptop> in mythtv-setup, sounds like you didn't set it up as a hardware encoder
[16:44] <surge> hey guys for a person just starting out setting up a mythbox do you think i should download 8.10 or stick with 8.04 stable mythbuntu
[16:45] <dshumate_> I'm sure I did I will bring it up again and look
[16:45] <tgm4883_laptop> surge, do you have an ati card?
[16:45] <surge> no
[16:45] <surge> its a wintv-pvr 150
[16:45] <surge> nvidia card
[16:45] <surge> for video
[16:45] <tgm4883_laptop> i'd go with 8.10, but i like breakage ;)
[16:45] <tgm4883_laptop> plus it's out soon
[16:45] <surge> k
[16:45] <surge> thanks
[16:48] <tgm4883_laptop> dshumate_, the reason I say that is because I see things like this in your log
[16:48] <tgm4883_laptop> NVR(/dev/video0): Unknown video codec.  Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles.  Assuming RTjpeg for now.
[16:49] <tgm4883_laptop> which usually points to incorrect setup
[16:50] <dshumate_> so frontend
[16:50] <tgm4883_laptop> no backend
[16:50] <surge> I have been reading alot the in video source section you have to type television for the capture card to work ?
[16:50] <tgm4883_laptop> surge, what?
[16:50] <surge> that came out garbled lol
[16:51] <tgm4883_laptop> dshumate_, thats from your backend log, which is a backend problem
[16:51] <surge> I have been reading alot on the internet that when you go to setup the video source section of mythtv setup you have to put in the video source field television
[16:51] <surge> is this correct?
[16:51] <surge> and also do you really have to use schedules direct or no?
[16:52] <tgm4883_laptop> no field source television
[16:52] <tgm4883_laptop> schedules direct if you live in the USA
[16:52] <tgm4883_laptop> there are other ways, but I won't be going into them
[16:53] <surge> so no for video source television
[16:53] <surge> what do you put the capture source
[16:53] <surge> ?
[16:54] <surge> i typed Tuner 1
[16:54] <tgm4883_laptop> Ah
[16:54] <tgm4883_laptop> I see
[16:54] <tgm4883_laptop> you are just talking about the name then?
[16:54] <surge> because I went through all the steps fine but when i select watch-tv nothing happens
[16:54] <tgm4883_laptop> you could name it thingamajig
[16:54] <tgm4883_laptop> surge, did you follow the installation guide?
[16:55] <surge> yes
[16:55] <surge> well sort of lol
[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> sort of?
[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> theres your problem ;)
[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> Unfortunatly I have to go now
[16:55] <surge> well isnt the pvr-150 supported right out the box?
[16:55] <surge> no prob
[16:55] <surge> thanks anyway
[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> surge, yes, but that means that you don't have to load drivers for it and such
[16:56] <tgm4883_laptop> you still have to set it up
[16:56] <surge> gotcha
[16:56] <surge> i will look at the manual again lol
[16:56] <surge> any good guies you recommend
[16:56] <dshumate_> same thing
[16:56] <surge> than just the regular one
[16:56] <surge> guides*
[17:01] <dshumate_> still nogo tgm and thanks for the help so far hopefully we can get this thing figured out.
[17:09] <fishsponge_> hey people - is there any way to get mythmusic to download Album covers etc... from somewhere?
[17:09] <fishsponge_> i'm ripping a load of my CDs, and it'd be great to have the album art automatically put in...

[18:01] <fishsponge_> does anyone know how to automatically grab album covers for mythmusic??

[20:40] <stephan__> i did /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop and then ran the mythtbacked setup again and it still says it's running

[22:22] <Seeker`> What are peoples xmltv entries for BBC3 / BBC4?
[23:32] <Jorophose> hi, I know this isn't really mythbuntu related, or even mythtv related, but when using XvMC, can it also upscale the video at the same time? Or is that for xv and possibly something entirely seperate? asking because I'm going to put together a miniITX mythbox, but it needs to be able to do "SDTV" upscaled to 720p at the very least...
[23:35] <surge> this seems like a dumb question but
[23:35] <surge> does svideo do audio also
[23:36] <surge> I have a wintv pvr 150
[23:38] <Jorophose> no, only hdmi does video+audio from what I recall
[23:39] <Jorophose> you'd need rca audio cables [or whatever you call them]
[23:39] <Jorophose> or of course digital/optical audio if you've got a godly set up 8)
[23:40] <surge> so how would i pipe the audio out to my tv after i setup my video card to connect to my tv
[23:40] <surge> with rca cables?
[23:40] <surge> on the pvr card
