[05:34] <xv6800> hi
[05:34] <xv6800> any1 can help me setting up my mythtv ?
[10:16] <tgb_> Hello, I've got a newbie mythbuntu question if someone has some time to answer it.
[10:16] <hads> !ask
[10:16] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[10:17] <tgb_> nods nods... just tryinng to be polite
[10:17] <hads> Sure :)
[10:17] <tgb_> briefly then
[10:17] <tgb_> Everything's workinng almost perfect
[10:17] <tgb_> If I play a recording on a mythfrontend, works great
[10:18] <tgb_> however, if I play another recording ("Watch Recording") I get a "black" screen.
[10:18] <tgb_> Audio is just fine
[10:18] <tgb_> Running mythfrontend from the console gives no evidence of any difference.
[10:18] <tgb_> If I restart mythfrontend everything works fine, once.
[10:18] <hads> So some recordings work but not others?
[10:18] <tgb_> No
[10:18] <hads> Oh, it works once.
[10:18] <tgb_> correct.
[10:18] <hads> Weird.
[10:19] <hads> Have you compared the logs?
[10:19] <tgb_> I've been using MythTV for 2 years with Slackware, haven't' seen this before
[10:19] <directhex> i know this.
[10:19] <directhex> opengl video renderer?
[10:19] <tgb_> I have compared the output on mythfrontend's console.  Is there anywhere else I should look?
[10:19] <tgb_> It's default.  Change to QT?
[10:19] <tgb_> ... trying that now...
[10:20] <directhex> that's the painter (for the menus), the video renderer is set separately
[10:20] <hads> Yeah, console logs unless you have redirected them
[10:20] <tgb_> looking for opengl
[10:20] <tgb_> then logs... where would they be?
[10:21] <hads> If you're starting it from a console that output is fine.
[10:21] <hads> Otherwise
[10:21] <hads> !logs
[10:21] <Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/
[10:21] <tgb_> ok
[10:21] <tgb_> Can't seem to find the opengl render setting, will look for logs now
[10:22] <hads> directhex sounds like maybe he's seen it before
[10:22] <directhex> common enough problem with some 3d drivers if you use the opengl renderer
[10:22] <directhex> other causes, i can't help
[10:23] <tgb_> Interesting.  Likely an X problem
[10:23] <hads> Yeah, I was thinking a driver issue.
[10:23] <hads> Myth seems to make a lot of them visible
[10:23] <tgb_> when I alt-tabbed out, X windows behaved strangely
[10:23] <tgb_> First let me check for log differences
[10:24] <tgb_> I don't see a difference.
[10:25] <tgb_> Logs appear near identical for both playbacks
[10:25] <tgb_> some subtle order issues
[10:25] <tgb_> I'm running the Nvidia driver
[10:25] <tgb_> with an onboard GeForce 6150
[10:25] <hads> That's usually okay
[10:25] <tgb_> No issues with other programs like MythVideo or mplayer
[10:26] <tgb_> Something weird happened with X. Lemme try that again
[10:26] <tgb_> If I alt tab out, then alt tab back, it's not "in front"
[10:27] <tgb_> That is to say that the alt tab window is still visible
[10:27] <tgb_> Also notice that if I bring up program guide, that comes up
[10:27] <tgb_> I'm guessing it's not capturing the window.
[10:28] <tgb_> Getting a lot of dropping back audio_buffer_unused errors, presuming that's a root priority issue and unrelated
[10:28] <tgb_> How do I access the MythTV render again?
[10:30] <tgb_> Someone mentioned opengl...
[10:33] <tgb_> Yadif deinterlace showing up in logs, I doubt it's that.
[10:35] <tgb_> nothing in X logs...
[10:37] <tgb_> Again, can someone direct me to the renderer opengl setting that directhex just mentioned?
[10:37] <tgb_> I can't find it
[10:39] <tgb_> I see it
[10:39] <tgb_> Playback Profiles...
[10:40] <tgb_> fixed
[10:40] <tgb_> thanks for help
[12:41] <realopty> ello
[12:43] <realopty> how can i use another box as a backend slave????
[12:50] <realopty> :(
[12:51] <realopty> stream from one backend to the other :O?
[12:51] <realopty> etc
[12:51] <realopty> ur all dead :(
[14:03] <jphillip> realopty I believe there is a checkbox for secondary backend in MCC, do that then when you setup this backend you put the IP of the masterbackend
[14:13] <realopty> jphillip, can i sync from the master to the slave over the net?
[14:14] <jphillip> realopty they stream files on the fly
[14:20] <htc_nick> any1 up for fixing my problems?
[14:21] <realopty> jphillip, know how to transcode the files before the sync?
[14:33] <realopty> night
[14:38] <mpage> what sort of quality should i expect if my video card is hooked up to my tv via hdmi?
[14:39] <mpage> im running the latest nvidia drivers (via envy) but the quality still seems quite poor
[17:01] <smil3y> hi, using intrepid mythbuntu 8.10, upgraded yesterday, and having a problem now with live tv.  get sound all the time, but video craps out like 4 or 5 seconds into playing
[17:02] <smil3y> not using any nvidia drivers or anything like that,  and using using slim for playback
[18:07] <wilberfan> I'm curious:  why would a downloaded .avi occasionally have audio that's a second or two behind the video when played back in myth--but seems fine when played with VLC?
[18:10] <wilberfan> and is there a way to re-sync the sound in myth?
[20:26] <xv6800> how long it taks for myth_scanner to do scanning for 3 satellites?
