[01:26] <leop> Hi guys I'd like to setup mythbuntu box and I found an Old TV Tuner card the chipset says it's Conexant Fusion 878A will this work with mythbuntu
[01:28] <hads> I believe the BT878 is a fairly common old chipset.
[01:29] <leop> so it won't work
[01:30] <hads> Fairly common as in will probably work.
[01:30] <leop> :) oh Ok I thought you meant the other way
[01:31] <hads> Be aware that software encoding (which you will be using with a card like that) takes a fair bit of CPU
[01:31] <leop> so mythtv should automatically detect it
[01:32] <hads> Probably, I've never used one myself.
[01:33] <leop> I've got Pentium 4 3.0ghz with 512 MB and 250GB HDD
[01:35] <leop> I'll give it a go I'll set it up and see
[02:07] <leop> hads are you still there?
[02:10] <hads> Vaguely
[02:17] <leop> I install mythbuntu now I am trying to Capture the card when I select DVB DTV Capture it says frontend id Could not get card info
[02:38] <hads> Your card isn't a DVB card.
[02:45] <leop> I found that  Analog V4L Capture card the Probed info Bt878 video (**unknown/Gener[bttv])
[06:16] <TazgodX> is there any add on to stream like a slingbox over the internet from my myth box?
[13:09] <pteague> when using the archive feature to burn stuff to iso... is it the frontend or the backend that should be doing the work?
[14:22] <pteague> ah, i'm missing temp directories... but i'm not sure which box i need them on
[15:44] <superm1> pteague, frontend needs them
[15:45] <pteague> ty
[19:52] <surge> hello
[20:28] <baggar11> any howto's or instructions for getting diskless frontends working?
[20:30] <wilberfan> i'd like to try vlc as the default front-end player...anyone know what options to use?
[21:04] <wilberfan> oh, i just realized...I'll probably have to set up a vlc .lirc file, huh?  I have a PVR-350.  anyone got a working VLC .lirc they can share?  :)
[21:20] <superm1> wilberfan, running mythbuntu-lirc-generator should make one for you
[21:21] <wilberfan> oh, cool...  you don't happen to know the vlc options i need to use, do you?
[21:21] <wilberfan> i figger 'fullscreen' (-f) is one of them...but there's a TON to chose from!
[21:23] <superm1> you can set most of them in the GUI
[21:23] <superm1> and they get saved into a vlc conf file
[21:25] <wilberfan> i'm not sure which ones i need, though...
[21:26] <wilberfan> is there documentation somewhere on how to use the lirc-generator?  Myth has worked so well for me, the last time i did any configuring was 6 months ago!  i've forgotten it all...
[21:31] <superm1> wilberfan, mythbuntu-lirc-generator --help
[21:31] <superm1> that'll spit out some information for you
[21:32] <wilberfan> superm1: i appreciate the help.  any idea of the vlc options i need?
[21:33] <superm1> wilberfan, that depends entirely on your situation and what you are looking for out of it.  for me, the defaults seemed to work other than adjusting fullscreen and audio output to be spdif
[21:33] <superm1> you might need to change some other stuff
[21:33] <wilberfan> mythbuntu-lirc-generator doesn't seem to be installed on my system...  is that normal??
[21:34] <superm1> wilberfan, oh perhaps mythbuntu-lircrc-generator --help
[21:34] <superm1> i forget the exact naming we gave the binary
[21:34] <superm1> if that's not around either, that isn't normal.  it's part of the mythbuntu isntall :)
[21:34] <wilberfan> i would have figgered!
[21:34] <wilberfan> let me try that...
[21:36] <wilberfan> yep.  that one worked...
[21:36] <wilberfan> does it generate one for vlc by default...or do i have to specify?
[21:37] <wilberfan> :\
[21:38] <superm1> by default it should make one
[21:38] <superm1> but i was pointing you at --help so you didn't overwrite your others in the process..
[21:38] <wilberfan> which i think i just did...
[21:40] <superm1> well it renames the old ones
[21:40] <superm1> so you can move them back
[21:40] <superm1> just dont do it twice...
[21:43] <wilberfan> which i also just did...
[21:43] <wilberfan> d'oh!
[21:43] <wilberfan> NOW what do i do...?
[21:43] <superm1> well hopefully you (1) didn't overly customize those files or (2) made backups..
[21:44] <wilberfan> i don't remember customizing anything...
[21:44] <wilberfan> and don't remember making any backups either...
[21:45] <superm1> well if you never customized those config files, then this spits back out new defaults
[21:46] <wilberfan> "this"?
[21:46] <superm1> mythbuntu-lirc-generator
[21:46] <wilberfan> ah...
[21:49] <wilberfan> any idea why xine always starts with volume all the way down?  (on downloaded .avi's)
[21:51] <superm1> not too sure, sorry
[21:52] <superm1> i dont use volume in any app
[21:52] <superm1> only external volume via spdif
[21:52] <wilberfan> vlc won't respond to the remote OR the keyboard!
[22:23] <MythbuntuGuest30> hi, does anyone know if there is a known problem with installing Mythbuntu  8.10 beta?
[22:26] <MythbuntuGuest30> I can't get it isntalled... when I try, it seems to go all the way through... then I only get the Live CD environment.. the syslog shows something about ubiquity and locale errors? anyone got any ideas?
