CRXLPYI guess I should fix that00:02

CRXLPYit is down, now to check the grill and pull the case00:19
CRXLPYwellllll  after all that, I may be putting it on hold. the swap I have is not a guaranteed good set00:40
CRXLPYgrrrr, always nice to get news at the last sec00:40
judith_I stream recorded video over the network but a 1 hour recording shows as having only 39 minutes of play time! Why the discrepancy?01:08

Guest85495I have Mythbuntu 8.04 installed but my video play back is very poor.  Even dvd's don't play well.  Video is very choppy. Oh and I'm new to this.01:45
Guest85495Any recommendations on hot improve video play would be much appreciated.01:46
Guest85495My system isn't too poor 2.2ghz dual processor and 3gb of RAM..01:52
superm1Guest85495, make sure that you have the proprietary drivers for your video card enabled02:24
superm1if they are available02:24
superm1open up mcc and pick the drivers tab02:25
superm1!mcc | Guest8549502:25
ZinnGuest85495: Mythbuntu Control Centre, one of the biggest advantages of Mythbuntu.  You can configure a lot of normally complex tasks from one location.  You can find it in your System menu after installing Mythbuntu.02:25
Guest85495Here in lies the problem... Funny you would drive right to it.  I currently am using onboard video hardware on a Biostar P4M900-M7 and I have not had much luck obtaining linux based drivers for the video hardware.02:30
Guest85495Is my only option to buy an additional video card?  I would think the system would play a dvd even with fairly poor video hardware... is that not true?02:31
superm1what's the onboard video?02:35
superm1depending on the onboard video, it's possible that hardware video overlays are not exposed02:35
superm1with the current open source drivers02:35
Coded1my audio is about 3-4 seconds fast when I watch tv through my bt878 based grabber (SD source) the cpu is ~ 25-35% any one have a similar problem?02:39
Guest85495My onboard video is VIA Chrome9 HC IGP at least according to the biostar website.02:45
Guest85495There is not option for this in the Graphics card driver list that I can see...02:45
superm1Guest85495, yeah there is, there is a chrome driver02:58
superm1xserver-xorg-video-openchrome02:58
superm1is what you are probably looking for02:58
Guest85495I tried the openchrome, but I got a very disappointing picture... Many lines and apparent interlace issues.02:59
Guest85495Kind of like what is shown here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=71095503:00
Guest85495Has any one had any luck with the drivers loacted here:03:11
Guest85495http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action03:11
CRXLPYCoded1 you are using a cable to feed audio from your tuner to your line in on the soundcard right?03:21
Guest85495Would someone recommend a PCI Express video card?  Fully compatible and support by mythbuntu?  Something perhaps you are currently using and is working well for you?03:38
Guest85495my issues appear to be completely related to the integrated video card on my biostar mother board... After installing the Chrome9 beta drivers the video renders better but has a unique green flash to it. very annoying...03:40
dee|nxHi all04:58
dee|nxI want to install mythbuntu on a system that has both pvr0350 and nvidia 8600 GT.  Is this a good combination?  I want to be able to play movies from DVD and hardrive primarily.  Should both cards be left inside? What would be the best way to set this up05:00
dee|nx!help05:03

dee|nx!ping05:04
ZinnSorry I don't know about ping05:04
dee|nxno one seems to be talking here05:05
canndee|nx : check http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ should be a lot of info on the subject08:43
cannbut to answer your question, if you only want to play dvds  and media files i personally would only use the nvidia card08:45
elmargolHi can someone comment on the status of mythnettv? Is this package usable? Or is it more or less experimental?09:15
elmargolI did not find much informations on the net09:15

oobetgm4883_laptop, did you end up working out how to make a cronjob with that script10:55
oobeit should work if you remote the manual option in the last line10:56
mrmowglican someone point me to the right place to configure the channel info?  mythbuntu 8.04 - I keep running into problems with mythfilldatabase I think13:03
mrmowglier13:03
mrmowglimaybe13:03
mrmowgliI run the mythbackend-setup, go to the channel section, then run the channel scanner using the datadirect datasource (yes I have a username and password) and then it runs the mythfilldatabase - when that's done it never goes back to the setup and no channels are added13:05
mrmowglithe manual is very slim in this area13:06
mrmowgliI'm running it on a US-Cable connection with one feed set up for a cable source using datadirect13:13
mrmowglihow about log files to get more info about what's happening?  At this point I want to just check to see if the capture  card is working properly13:26
squish102i am running xfce4 with mythbuntu, and i would like to add some commands to the command line of the auto start of mythfrontend14:04

fujiso, I signed up with schedules direct, but my username and password into the back end setup under video sources, ran mythfilldatabase, but still am not getting any listings.  Any ideas where to start looking for what is going wrong here?14:27
jphillipCRXLPY if you search and google and view the cache there will be download links to unlocked versions on their site14:29
CRXLPYyes, they just put some up due to demand14:29
CRXLPYdown.codeweavers.com14:29
CRXLPYbut they will continue issuing reg codes soon14:30
CRXLPYwell off to wurc14:30
fujiyeah, it's giving me a 401 Unauthorized error when run mythfilldatabase whenever I try to connect to schedulesdirect.  I can log in on their website just fine, and have the same username/password put into the backend setup video source as I do when I log in to the website15:07
fujiah, it was my schedulesdirect setup, its working now.15:14

MythbuntuGuest31hey .  doing an off-net install is there a way to bypass the mysql test in step 11 of the advanced install?17:08
MythbuntuGuest31cant go forward without success there17:09
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest31, I dont' think so17:09
MythbuntuGuest31dang.17:10
MythbuntuGuest31that would be nice to have the option to bypass the test17:11
tgm4883_laptopThis is a frontend only install?17:11
fujiI setup the menu system to dealw ith the TV oversync via the settings -> appearance -> gui size, and that part works great, but when watching TV the On Screen Display doesn't even come close to fitting, I don't see anything in the OSD settings section to change the size, am I missing something?17:26
MythbuntuGuest01tgm4883_laptop - yes its a frontend install only18:32
tgm4883_laptopyea I suppose I can see your point.  Why are you doing it with no net available though?18:33

tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest01, well I would suggest making that a feature request then, as of right now I don't think that it is possible from a mythbuntu install18:37
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest01, you could though do a ubuntu install, add the mythtv packages then go home and configure it18:37
MythbuntuGuest01k,  always get tied up with a ton of stuff when i get home...would be nice to be able to just edit the mysql.txt afterwards18:37
MythbuntuGuest01true...18:38
tgm4883_laptopyea, during development, I don't think this scenario was thought about18:38
MythbuntuGuest01thanks anyway18:40
