mrmowgliAnyone else using the wintv-hvr-1600 for cable tv?00:36
mrmowgliWhen running the mythtv-setup.real, how do you see the error log?  I don't think 'Fetch Channels From Listing Source' is working, and I'm using schedules direct00:45
mrmowgliwhen I try to run mplayer I get win32 LoadLibrary failed to load avisynth.dll01:05
mrmowglihow do I fix that?01:05
mrmowglimythfilldatabase just doesn't seem to add any channels to my analog capture card, using schedulesdirect.org01:19
mrmowglianyone know a troubleshooting guide or something for schedulesdirect?01:20
mrmowgliI actually get a http 401 error, unauthorized - then it tries again which is kinda screwy.  It does find my subscription and seems to find the listing info01:29
mrmowgliok mythfilldatabase --refresh-all seems to have fixed it01:46
mrmowgliI vote for the livecd to install the kernel header and compiler's needed to get the current V4L drivers compiled as part of the install, or have them sucked down as part of the install.  I ran into more problems because my card Huappauge HVR-1600 drivers weren't on the livecd and the installer fails on setup leaving bogus data in various places.01:51
mrmowgliI'm still cleaning out cruft01:52
TechTygrRunning into a problem installing 8.10... it doesn't install the drivers for my video card.  It's an nVidia GeForce4 MX 440, says the drivers need to be 96.x or older, and 8.10 is installing 173.x03:21
toorimaare there any new features in 8.10 compared with 8.04?03:23
toorimaTechTygr: isn't there some nvidia-legacy driver or something like it for older nvidia cards?03:27
TechTygrThere is the older drivers, but when I try to install them, it still complains, "No device found"03:29
mrmowgliAnyone have an idea how to tell if a card is working properly? I'v got an Huappauge wintv-hvr-1600 and the drivers seem to load ok in dmesg and are detected by mythtv-setup but the 'Watch TV' doesn't do anything04:24
mrmowgliI tried to run mplayer on /dev/video0 and I get a 'Can't Seek' message04:25
mrmowgliI also have a /dev/video24 and a /dev/video32 - what are those?04:25
mrmowgliI get: eno:Device or resource busy (16)  / MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: error reading from: /dev/video005:34

planeraceranyone knows how to setup remote with 8.04?05:57
mrmowgliplaneracer: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-1.html06:18
mrmowglido a search for lirc06:18
planeracerthx06:26
superm1or just use mcc06:27
superm1!mcc | planeracer06:27
Zinnplaneracer: 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.06:27
planeracerI tryed allready. I like to use my twinhan remote with it06:33
planeracerproblem is now, digits works ok , but some other buttons is wrong06:34
superm1oh you might be describing a fun bug06:35
planeracerother think i like to install a wireless keyboard. I can even pair a keyboard with rf trans.06:35
superm1the digits work without LIRC06:35
planeracerwhen i restarting lirc, it goes ok06:35
superm1bug 27947206:35
ZinnBug 279472 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Lirc does not respond after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 Beta" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/27947206:35
superm1if your remote is using standard input stuff then this is what's probably happening06:36
superm1and you need to add an fdi file to block it like that bug06:36
planeracerI went adams how2. all looks ok, but no luck with remote06:37
superm1adam's how to?06:38

superm1things have probably changed a bit since then06:41

HerlaHi all07:12
HerlaI am currently running Mythbuntu 8.04.01 and I am trying to get nv ram wakeup to work07:13
HerlaThe box shutdowns and start up correctly but the problem is that if frontend is on more than five minutes and I shutdown the frontend then also mythwelcome crashes07:14
HerlaI have read some topics from internet but didnt found the exact solution to the problem07:15
superm1get a trace on mythwelcome if you can07:16
Herlaok, how can I do that?07:17
superm1you can turn on apport by modifying /etc/default/apport07:17
superm1and make sure apport-gtk is installed07:17
superm1and hopefully you should see something like this next time it crashes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport07:18
superm1which can be submitted directly as a bug with (hopefully) a useful trace07:18
Herlaif i have figured out right the problem is the following:07:18
Herlahttp://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/35231507:18
superm1ah ah its even been committed to trunk already07:19
superm1swell!07:19
superm1so if you are nice enough to laga, can get this into a weekly build07:21
superm1if you want to test the fix your self sooner, then you can always apt-get source mythtv07:22
superm1and apply this patch http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/1867107:22
superm1but to see it land in the weeklies, i say just file a bug against mythtv in ubuntu and ask to pull that patch07:22
superm1too bad you couldn't report this 2 or 3 weeks ago, we could have squeezed it into intrepid :(07:23
Herlayep, i found this myself only few days ago07:23
Herlacan you give me a clear advice how to apply this patch to my box?07:25
superm1not easily atm07:29
superm1i've written some directions on the forums at some point07:29
superm1but dont have that handy07:29
Herlabut you think that this patch will come to weekly builds soon?07:32

foxbuntuSeeker`, ati card?19:14
Seeker`foxbuntu: nvidia19:15
foxbuntuSeeker`, which card?19:15
Seeker`6600 I think19:16
foxbuntuSeeker`, are using you using OpenGL for your painter?19:16
foxbuntuor QT?19:16
Seeker`foxbuntu: OpenGL19:19
foxbuntuSeeker`, ok..google for the nvidia xorg options and play around with them, prob something to do with overlay and/or vsync, you can also get at some of the options via nvidia-settings19:21
Seeker`fixed it19:25
Seeker`I changed one of the options to use opengl as the renderer in the playback options - this was obviously a mistake19:26
foxbuntugood19:27

TechTygrRunning into a problem installing 8.10... it doesn't install the drivers for my video card.  It's an nVidia GeForce4 MX 440, says the drivers need to be 96.x or older, and 8.10 is installing 173.x21:35
TechTygr(Decided to post this when I'm not falling asleep at the keyboard)21:35
superm1TechTygr, unfortunately NV does not have drivers for 96.xx for 8.1021:42
TechTygrThat's what I was afraid of21:43
TechTygrThen... does anyone have a 7.10 ISO I can get?21:43
superm18.04.1 will be fine21:45
toorimawhat packages do i need to install to make my 8.04 mythbuntu into a printserver21:51
toorimacups and what more?21:51
TechTygrsuperm1: 8.04.1 won't install on the box... it goes through the motions, then boots into the liveCD afterwards21:52
superm1toorima, cupsys i think, and probably a gui tool for managing it21:53
superm1TechTygr, that sounds right, if it boots into the livecd? what's wrong?21:53
toorimasuperm1: k thx21:53
TechTygrI'm not booting into the liveCD, I'm doing the install21:53
superm1both will get the same goal though21:54
TechTygrIt goes through, asks all the questions, looks like it installs, then starts the liveCD21:54
superm1you can install when booted into the live cd21:54
TechTygrAnd when I do, it goes through, asks all the questions, looks like it installs, then starts the liveCD21:54
superm1so it crashes the session?21:54
TechTygrNear as I can tell... I wasn't watching both times I tried21:54
TechTygrGoing to rerun the install again22:09
Decepticonwill mythbantu 8.10 come out when ubuntau 8.10 come out?22:15
TechTygrBooted into the LiveCD, and ran 'Install Mythbuntu', selected the nvidia GeForce2-4 driver22:21
TechTygrWhere does 8.04.1 store its install logs?22:29

fishsponge_hey people - does anyone have a script to automatically generate thumbnails for video files?23:23
fishsponge_iv'e download one off the web, but it just doesn't work.. does anyone have a working one?23:23
tgm4883_laptopfishsponge_, I think oobe has one23:31
tgm4883_laptopfishsponge_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93876023:32
hicKHello,  I am interested in Mythbuntu.  I have 1 desktop I just put Ubuntu on and love it.  I will be building a HTPC with a TV-TUNER to record OTA HIDEF programming and watching DVD/BLUERAY movies with it.23:37
fishsponge_thanks for that tgm4883_laptop but it all seems to be related to imdb - these videos are going to be in IMDB, so i think i need a different script...23:37
fishsponge_*aren't going to be in IMDB23:37
hicKI will also need it to use Firefox (or similar) and to Play counter-strike over the TV.  My question is should i use mybunutu or ubuntu with add ons?23:38
tgm4883_laptopfishsponge_, read the post23:39
fishsponge_hmm... i thought i had... i'll read it again23:39
tgm4883_laptophicK, either is the same23:39
hicKI was under the impression that mythbuntu pretty much took everything out of ubuntu and was strickly for HTPC's.23:41
oobefishsponge_, its an all in one script it will simple ignore videos that arnt in the movie directory you specify23:42
oobeyou need to specify the paths23:42
oobei think i need to re write that howto as people seem confused to its purpose23:43
fishsponge_oobe: none of my videos are in any onliine movie directory anywhere... so does this actually generate thumbnails, or is it just for downloading info and pictures from mthe internet?23:46
fishsponge_i've re-read it and i can't see anywhere where it actually generates thumbnails from the videos themselves...23:46
oobeif you all you want is to add thumbnails the just run metacleanup.sh23:46
oobeyou need to edit it to your correct details23:47
fishsponge_ah, OK, so metacleanup.sh is what generates thumbnails...23:47
fishsponge_i've just run "./metacleanup.sh" and it just complains about a lack of a cover file23:48
fishsponge_ERROR: Couldn't find any data for show bikes.mpeg, not updating23:51
fishsponge_i think i'll give up on this tonight... i'm falling asleep...23:51
oobefishsponge_, its purpose is to do more than thumbnails23:51
oobethats all its talking about23:51
fishsponge_thanksk for the help people, but if this really is for generating thumbnails, oobe could you please /msg me so i can follow it up?23:51
oobeit will still make them23:51
fishsponge_oobe: i can't get it to generate thumbnails, let alone do more...23:52
oobedid you edit the script23:52
oobeor just ignore the instuctions and blindly hope it works with little effort23:52
fishsponge_i edited the variable at the top - i've not edited anything else though because the script says i don't have to unless i've moved the other scripts23:53
fishsponge_i've put in my paths and password23:53
fishsponge_MOVIEHOME is my movies root dir23:53
fishsponge_POSTERHOME=/home/username/.mythtv/MythVideo/Images/23:53
fishsponge_and i'm running "./metacleanup.sh"23:54
fishsponge_also... i have several videos with the same filename, but in different folders... does this script cope with that?23:55
oobeyou need to put your mysql password in aswell23:55
fishsponge_i notice that THUMBNAIL="$POSTERHOME/$TITLE.jpg"     which would mean 01.mpg from one folder and 01.mpg from another folder would both share the same thumbnail! is this true?23:56
oobeyeah that will make things difficult if all your videos have the same name in different folders23:56
fishsponge_oobe: i did put the password in - it's finding all the files from the database, but then saying     ERROR: Couldn't find any data for show AstonH_21_4_John.mpg, not updating23:56
fishsponge_in that case, i think i'll write my own script when i can be bothered! lol23:57
fishsponge_and then make it public, of course :-)23:57
oobethat just means its not scraping a database for that title info23:57
fishsponge_but it's not doing thumbnails either... it's not generating them, and it's not putting them in the database23:58
fishsponge_anyway, i'm going to bed i'm afraid... can't keep my eyes open any more and have a presentation to give first thing in the morning!23:58
fishsponge_thanks for your help though!23:58
fishsponge_given that i have videos all of the same name though, very often, i think this script is not good for my needs... it did look promising though!'23:58
oobepromising is an understatement23:59
