=== wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop [00:36] Anyone else using the wintv-hvr-1600 for cable tv? [00:45] When 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 direct [01:05] when I try to run mplayer I get win32 LoadLibrary failed to load avisynth.dll [01:05] how do I fix that? [01:19] mythfilldatabase just doesn't seem to add any channels to my analog capture card, using schedulesdirect.org [01:20] anyone know a troubleshooting guide or something for schedulesdirect? [01:29] I 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 info [01:46] ok mythfilldatabase --refresh-all seems to have fixed it [01:51] I 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. [01:52] I'm still cleaning out cruft [03:21] Running 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.x [03:23] are there any new features in 8.10 compared with 8.04? [03:27] TechTygr: isn't there some nvidia-legacy driver or something like it for older nvidia cards? [03:29] There is the older drivers, but when I try to install them, it still complains, "No device found" [04:24] Anyone 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 anything [04:25] I tried to run mplayer on /dev/video0 and I get a 'Can't Seek' message [04:25] I also have a /dev/video24 and a /dev/video32 - what are those? [05:34] I get: eno:Device or resource busy (16) / MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: error reading from: /dev/video0 [05:57] hio all [05:57] anyone knows how to setup remote with 8.04? [06:18] planeracer: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-1.html [06:18] do a search for lirc [06:26] thx [06:27] or just use mcc [06:27] !mcc | planeracer [06:27] planeracer: 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. [06:33] I tryed allready. I like to use my twinhan remote with it [06:34] problem is now, digits works ok , but some other buttons is wrong [06:35] oh you might be describing a fun bug [06:35] other think i like to install a wireless keyboard. I can even pair a keyboard with rf trans. [06:35] the digits work without LIRC [06:35] when i restarting lirc, it goes ok [06:35] bug 279472 [06:35] Bug 279472 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Lirc does not respond after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 Beta" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/279472 [06:36] if your remote is using standard input stuff then this is what's probably happening [06:36] and you need to add an fdi file to block it like that bug [06:37] I went adams how2. all looks ok, but no luck with remote [06:38] adam's how to? [06:40] http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-singlehtml.html#s8 [06:40] http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/mythtv-and-the-twinhan-remote.html [06:41] things have probably changed a bit since then [06:41] especially with hal and X taking input devices [07:12] Hi all [07:13] I am currently running Mythbuntu 8.04.01 and I am trying to get nv ram wakeup to work [07:14] The 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 crashes [07:15] I have read some topics from internet but didnt found the exact solution to the problem [07:16] get a trace on mythwelcome if you can [07:17] ok, how can I do that? [07:17] you can turn on apport by modifying /etc/default/apport [07:17] and make sure apport-gtk is installed [07:18] and hopefully you should see something like this next time it crashes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport [07:18] which can be submitted directly as a bug with (hopefully) a useful trace [07:18] if i have figured out right the problem is the following: [07:18] http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/352315 [07:19] ah ah its even been committed to trunk already [07:19] swell! [07:21] so if you are nice enough to laga, can get this into a weekly build [07:22] if you want to test the fix your self sooner, then you can always apt-get source mythtv [07:22] and apply this patch http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/18671 [07:22] but to see it land in the weeklies, i say just file a bug against mythtv in ubuntu and ask to pull that patch [07:23] too bad you couldn't report this 2 or 3 weeks ago, we could have squeezed it into intrepid :( [07:23] yep, i found this myself only few days ago [07:25] can you give me a clear advice how to apply this patch to my box? [07:29] not easily atm [07:29] i've written some directions on the forums at some point [07:29] but dont have that handy [07:32] but you think that this patch will come to weekly builds soon? [07:51] I get: eno:Device or resource busy (16) / MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: error reading from: /dev/video0 [07:51] I also have a /dev/video24 and a /dev/video32 - what are those? [07:56] Anyone else using the Huappage wintv-hvr-1600 for cable tv? [08:04] is selinux running on mythbuntu 8.04.01? [08:31] Well one thing is for certain, don't set up any of the mythbackend-setup from the livecd === Guest75254 is now known as bogus- [10:34] hi [10:34] can i ask a Q?

I only see the livetv recordings [13:06] ??? === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop [14:36] mrmowgli, sounds like you have you filter set to live tv only [14:42] tgm4883_laptop: hmmm where is that under? [14:42] If you are in the frontend and in the scheduled recordings, I think you hit the guide button and select filters [14:42] so it's when your setting up the recording? [14:44] no [14:44] sorry, go into "watch recordings" [14:45] then hit the guide button and change group filter [14:45] Ah, don't have the remote working yet [14:47] m key I think [14:47] Ahhhhhh that did it [14:47] Thanks! [14:47] np [14:49] Now I can go to sleep happy [14:55] I want to add the frontend role to my system but I don't want to add all the artwork that gets installed with it [14:55] how can I do this? [14:58] you need to use synaptic. Install mythtv-frontend [14:58] Got a minor problem trying to get apturl working but it dossent look like i got any luck with it ad all [15:00] benzon, you will get more help if you tell what the problem is [15:01] Its hard when you cant find the problem hehe :) used the guide to set up the apturl program so it works with firefox and even installed opera to se if that changed any thing [15:02] guide?

[15:09] (ive tried cancelling the autorun) [15:10] but it always pops up on bootup [15:15] that i cant help you with miss alot of the features from normal ubuntu [15:15] thinking about installing ubuntu and then adding mythbuntu to it [16:55] Hi [16:55] im having a bad time with mythtv on rc [16:56] i get No setting found for this machine's backenedserver [16:56] can you help me please? [18:39] my recordings seem to have recorded fine, and I can watch them, once [18:40] if i start watching them, go back to the main menu and try to watch anything else, i just get a blank screen, sound works fine though [18:40] if i restart mythfrontend, I am able to play a video again. once. [18:52] Seeker`: try starting mythfrontend from a terminal and see if you get any errors [19:03] toorima: not that I can see [19:14] Seeker`, ati card? [19:15] foxbuntu: nvidia [19:15] Seeker`, which card? [19:16] 6600 I think [19:16] Seeker`, are using you using OpenGL for your painter? [19:16] or QT? [19:19] foxbuntu: OpenGL [19:21] Seeker`, 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-settings [19:25] fixed it [19:26] I changed one of the options to use opengl as the renderer in the playback options - this was obviously a mistake [19:27] good [19:27] glad you fixed it [19:28] okay i got a problem, im able to find loads of channels when i do a scan but when i launch the frontend - im trying to push watch tv [19:29] but it makes a short flicker and returns to the selection part again [20:56] ;) [20:56] woo [20:56] i would like to dist-upgrade from 8.4 to 8.10 [20:57] what is the best way? [20:57] update-manager [20:57] update-manager -d will let you upgrade to devel releases [20:58] is that the current release 8.10 RC? [20:58] Is what? [20:58] devel release? [20:58] Yes, it's a devel release. [20:59] hm.. so when stable gets rolled out [20:59] how do you switch from devel to stable? [20:59] You don't need to switch, it's automatic [21:00] what agp card do you recommend? [21:01] my nvidia 7600 burned up a month ago [21:01] Nvidia work well [21:02] 7xxx series is hard to come by [21:02] nothing on newegg [21:02] is there a card in particular? [21:03] No [21:04] i may go with 7600 again [21:04] at $90 its a bit pricey [21:08] brb [21:25] will mythbantu come out when ubuntau comes out ? [21:25] 8.10 [21:35] Running 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.x [21:35] (Decided to post this when I'm not falling asleep at the keyboard) [21:42] TechTygr, unfortunately NV does not have drivers for 96.xx for 8.10 [21:43] That's what I was afraid of [21:43] Then... does anyone have a 7.10 ISO I can get? [21:45] 8.04.1 will be fine [21:51] what packages do i need to install to make my 8.04 mythbuntu into a printserver [21:51] cups and what more? [21:52] superm1: 8.04.1 won't install on the box... it goes through the motions, then boots into the liveCD afterwards [21:53] toorima, cupsys i think, and probably a gui tool for managing it [21:53] TechTygr, that sounds right, if it boots into the livecd? what's wrong? [21:53] superm1: k thx [21:53] I'm not booting into the liveCD, I'm doing the install [21:54] both will get the same goal though [21:54] It goes through, asks all the questions, looks like it installs, then starts the liveCD [21:54] you can install when booted into the live cd [21:54] And when I do, it goes through, asks all the questions, looks like it installs, then starts the liveCD [21:54] so it crashes the session? [21:54] Near as I can tell... I wasn't watching both times I tried [22:09] Going to rerun the install again [22:15] will mythbantu 8.10 come out when ubuntau 8.10 come out? [22:21] Booted into the LiveCD, and ran 'Install Mythbuntu', selected the nvidia GeForce2-4 driver [22:29] Where does 8.04.1 store its install logs? [22:34] im having some bad time with mythtv, when i try to play some tv i get GetEntryAt(-1) failed. and then a message failed to get pginfo, what should i do? [22:34] so far i can see the channels on mplayer [22:34] but not on mythtv === andreita is now known as Mighty-D [22:38] im having some bad time with mythtv, when i try to play some tv i get GetEntryAt(-1) failed. and then a message failed to get pginfo, what should i do? [23:16] OK, that's screwy... Installing from the menu at the beginning, it keeps failing [23:17] Let it boot to the LiveCD, it installed fine [23:23] hey people - does anyone have a script to automatically generate thumbnails for video files? [23:23] iv'e download one off the web, but it just doesn't work.. does anyone have a working one? [23:31] fishsponge_, I think oobe has one [23:32] fishsponge_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938760 [23:37] Hello, 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] 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] *aren't going to be in IMDB [23:38] I 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? [23:39] fishsponge_, read the post [23:39] hmm... i thought i had... i'll read it again [23:39] hicK, either is the same [23:41] I was under the impression that mythbuntu pretty much took everything out of ubuntu and was strickly for HTPC's. [23:42] fishsponge_, its an all in one script it will simple ignore videos that arnt in the movie directory you specify [23:42] you need to specify the paths [23:43] i think i need to re write that howto as people seem confused to its purpose [23:46] 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] i've re-read it and i can't see anywhere where it actually generates thumbnails from the videos themselves... [23:46] if you all you want is to add thumbnails the just run metacleanup.sh [23:47] you need to edit it to your correct details [23:47] ah, OK, so metacleanup.sh is what generates thumbnails... [23:48] i've just run "./metacleanup.sh" and it just complains about a lack of a cover file [23:51] ERROR: Couldn't find any data for show bikes.mpeg, not updating [23:51] i think i'll give up on this tonight... i'm falling asleep... [23:51] fishsponge_, its purpose is to do more than thumbnails [23:51] thats all its talking about [23:51] 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] it will still make them [23:52] oobe: i can't get it to generate thumbnails, let alone do more... [23:52] did you edit the script [23:52] or just ignore the instuctions and blindly hope it works with little effort [23:53] 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 scripts [23:53] i've put in my paths and password [23:53] MOVIEHOME is my movies root dir [23:53] POSTERHOME=/home/username/.mythtv/MythVideo/Images/ [23:54] and i'm running "./metacleanup.sh" [23:55] also... i have several videos with the same filename, but in different folders... does this script cope with that? [23:55] you need to put your mysql password in aswell [23:56] 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] yeah that will make things difficult if all your videos have the same name in different folders [23:56] 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 updating [23:57] in that case, i think i'll write my own script when i can be bothered! lol [23:57] and then make it public, of course :-) [23:57] that just means its not scraping a database for that title info [23:58] but it's not doing thumbnails either... it's not generating them, and it's not putting them in the database [23:58] 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] thanks for your help though! [23:58] 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!' [23:59] promising is an understatement
