| bsusa | hello all | 00:12 |
| bsusa | could someone please tell me which TV Tuner card is the best compatable one for Mythbuntu 8.04, and the remote control 100% compatable? | 00:13 |
| toorima__ | sd or hd? | 00:14 |
| bsusa | I was looking at this card but im not sure Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4? | 00:14 |
| bsusa | well for sd or hd together or seperate | 00:15 |
| bsusa | any ideas | 00:20 |
| toorima__ | seems to be suported http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Dual_Digital_4 | 00:20 |
| bsusa | i know but my TwinHan one was supported too and the remote is not picking up all the keys i had to set it up as a keyboard. | 00:22 |
| bsusa | so im hoping the Fusion one has direct support for all the buttons | 00:22 |
| bsusa | which one do you use? | 00:22 |
| toorima__ | i have the pvr150 with remote for sd and pchdtv5500 for hd | 00:23 |
| bsusa | do all the functions on the remote work | 00:23 |
| bsusa | ? | 00:23 |
| toorima__ | but not even that remote had every key mapped, but most of them, the rest i just mapped myself | 00:23 |
| bsusa | ok | 00:24 |
| bsusa | how much are the pvr150's? | 00:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | bsusa, ebay | 00:25 |
| toorima__ | not much but its sd only, if i would buy cards today i would probably go with hdhomerun | 00:26 |
| bsusa | I found the Fusion card locally so im thinking would it support it, its $137 AUD | 00:27 |
| peary | after installing lirc and using mythbuntu-lircrc-generator, my ATI RF v1 remote still doesn't work in programs, although it shows up in ifw | 00:33 |
| superm1 | peary, what programs? | 00:37 |
| superm1 | tried ircat? | 00:37 |
| peary | superm1, mplayer and vlc just to test it | 00:45 |
| superm1 | peary, okay so mplayer should work in theory. | 00:45 |
| peary | nope, what do i do with that? | 00:45 |
| superm1 | so ircat tries to replace lircrc settings | 00:46 |
| superm1 | look at man ircat for a little on how to use it | 00:46 |
| jerky_2 | so i'm having some performance problems on my myth box. i'm running mythbuntu 8.10 now but the problem was there on 8.04 too. my box will be running fine (frontend, backend, even mythcommflag sometimes) and then all of a sudden it starts stuttering pretty badly for a few seconds. it doesn't seem to happen at any specific interval... | 00:46 |
| jerky_2 | but when i take a look at the 'top' output, it always corresponds with 'mysqld' jumping up the CPU usage column. when it drops off the top CPU users the performance problems are gone. any ideas for what could be wrong or how to troubleshoot this? | 00:46 |
| jerky_2 | mysqld runs as the mysql user whereas mythfrontend runs as my user and mythbackend (+other stuff) runs as the mythtv user | 00:46 |
| jerky_2 | it seems like the mysqld process just starves the CPU because otherwise the machine performs fine | 00:46 |
| jerky_2 | just wondering if anyone else has tweaked their MySQL configuration at all... i tried running optimize_mythdb.pl but that didn't seem to help | 00:46 |
| peary | superm1, so it should be run something like "ircat mplayer" and will help to debug lircrc? | 00:49 |
| superm1 | peary, yeah generally that sounds right | 00:49 |
| peary | superm1, hmm well ircat looks okay and shows commands when buttons are pressed | 00:54 |
| superm1 | then it sounds like mplayer should be working :) | 00:54 |
| peary | it should be! but it isn't D: | 00:54 |
| peary | same thing with vlc | 00:56 |
| jerky_2 | anyone know how to change the "nice" level mysqld runs at in mythbuntu 8.10? i'm trying to see if that'll fix my performance problems | 01:06 |
| superm1 | jerky_2, you might ask in #ubuntu-server | 01:11 |
| superm1 | since mysql is what's going crazy | 01:11 |
| superm1 | peary, not sure what else I could advise here then, sorry | 01:11 |
| peary | superm1, thanks, no prob, will keep poking at it :) | 01:16 |

| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: I got the channel change script working, the file needed to be in the /usr/local/bin directory. I was never able to specify a path other than that, I gave up and went with the default... | 02:07 |

| cleptomania | Hi guys... | 11:19 |
| cleptomania | I'm reinstalling my mythtv | 11:19 |
| cleptomania | and I can't remember how I resolved this issue the last time around: Asus Pundit-R (connected with vga-out), when it gets to starting X starts up it switches to DVI... | 11:20 |
| cleptomania | anyway I can get rid of the monitor detection? and force it to vga? | 11:22 |
| cleptomania | mythbunutu 8.10 | 11:22 |
| cleptomania | ati 9100 igp onboard | 11:24 |
| cleptomania | ok, sorted that out at least... xforcevesa fixed it (in fact probably just the radeon driver) | 11:39 |
| Netlynx_ | who knows the list with the mythbuntu mirror sites. The existence of mirror locations is mentioned on the site, but no actual mirror server is listed. | 13:50 |
| jphillip | Netlynx_ you are automagically redirected to a mirror | 14:03 |
| Netlynx_ | ok, i tried again and got a faster mirror. I guessed if i could select a mirror by hand, i could select a mirror closer to me. | 14:05 |
| jphillip | Netlynx_ its like that for a reason, to try and control bandwidth | 14:07 |
| Netlynx_ | ok thx. This mirror is faster. This one will do. | 14:12 |
| tuxmaster | Hi i have a DCT700 cablebox and a MCE ir blaster/remote that will not change channels. | 17:54 |

| tgm4883_laptop | ha | 18:45 |

| toorima | any one know where to download the mythtv plugin for totem? its not included in archlinux | 19:55 |
| laga | toorima: try #mythtv-users | 19:55 |
| laga | or google ;) | 19:56 |
| toorima | k thx | 19:58 |
| noii | evenin all. I'm being plagued by occasional loss of my remote (nova-t 500). It'll be working, and then mid way through a program, it will cut out, and disappear off cat /proc/bus/input/devices too. | 21:44 |
| noii | I've got no real idea how to debug this - any suggestions welcome. | 21:45 |
| TheBlasphemer | What'd be the best way to distribute a new Myth plugin ? | 23:40 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: get it into mythtv source tree | 23:42 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: what is the plugin? | 23:42 |
| TheBlasphemer | Daviey: A simple plugin to browser Samba shares | 23:42 |
| TheBlasphemer | For now it only handles .avi/.mpg (simply hands them to MPlayer) | 23:43 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: wouldn't it be good to get that into MythVideo ? | 23:43 |
| TheBlasphemer | Just needed a simpler way to play movies from my or my roommate's PC | 23:43 |
| TheBlasphemer | Actually, no, I *hate* the fact that MythVideo is so bloated | 23:43 |
| Daviey | oh | 23:43 |
| Daviey | i mount via NFS, and use MythVideo | 23:43 |
| TheBlasphemer | My former setup was mounting the shares in /var/lib/mythtv/videos and use the video plugin | 23:43 |
| TheBlasphemer | But I don't want everything in a database, and have to update each time I download a new episode of heroes of desperate housewives | 23:44 |
| ynn | Could someone give me a hand. I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and I lost the ability to watch recordings on my frontend/backend | 23:44 |
| Daviey | erm.. you don't *need* to rescan everytime | 23:44 |
| * Daviey doesn't | 23:44 | |
| TheBlasphemer | ? | 23:44 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: There is an option to not require scan, just browse | 23:45 |
| TheBlasphemer | ... gaaah... | 23:45 |
| Daviey | can't tell you where without checking | 23:45 |
| TheBlasphemer | You've got to be kidding me :p | 23:45 |
| Daviey | heh | 23:45 |
| TheBlasphemer | I spend a day coding this beast :p | 23:45 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: sounds like a good project tho! | 23:46 |
| TheBlasphemer | Err, so ehm, one thing, will this cope with PCs that aren't online all the time? | 23:46 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: really useful for non native types.. and perhaps videos that the Internal player doesn't handle so well | 23:46 |
| TheBlasphemer | One of the problems I also had with my earlier setup was that it required the PC hosting the files to be always online | 23:46 |
| Daviey | ATM.. for some types i need to drop into vlc - whcih is not so good | 23:46 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: WoL :) | 23:46 |
| TheBlasphemer | Daviey: Mythvideo automatically passes it on to MPlayer, right ? | 23:46 |
| Daviey | OR.. have the media on the backend.. should always be on | 23:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | See, that also requires me to do stuff before I can watch ;) | 23:47 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: erm, default i belive yes - but i like the uniformed feel of the Internal player | 23:47 |
| Daviey | so i change it | 23:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | Ok | 23:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | There's no way with Samba to mount a share only when it's online? (e.g. have it be just an empty directory when the PC is off) | 23:48 |
| Daviey | really? | 23:48 |
| Daviey | why not use NFS? | 23:48 |
| TheBlasphemer | Windows boxes ;) | 23:48 |
| Daviey | :( | 23:48 |
| TheBlasphemer | The minute I can run Visual Studio 2008 in Wine, I'm converting ;) | 23:49 |
| Daviey | yeah :( | 23:50 |
| Daviey | TheBlasphemer: virtualbox \o/ | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | Nah, that's not cutting it for me :p | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | Honestly, I tried switching to Ubuntu a while ago | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | and I loved the eye-candy and the console and stuff | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | Even got myself a hotkey to pop up a console from the top when needed and all | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | but in the end all the eye-candy and nice stuff just didn't weigh out to the stuff I missed | 23:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | Oh well, the MythSamba plugin might still be useful for other things when I add the ability to add other file-handlers | 23:53 |
| TheBlasphemer | At least it got me some experience to attempt and re-work the MythMusic plugin, that UI is horrible | 23:53 |
| TheBlasphemer | I mean the Windows Media Player music playing required me to explain some things to my dad, but in the end it wasn't too difficult to use. | 23:54 |
| giver | can anyone help? have video ok in mythbuntu,no audio,using nvidia | 23:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | The MythMusic music playing interface is in one word horrible :/ | 23:54 |
| giver | new setting up mythbuntu | 23:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | giver: Open up a terminal (or switch to one with ctrl+alt+F1), type alsamixer, and play about with the controls | 23:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Err | 23:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | giver: What I usually do: | 23:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Start up a video or something else that you know has sound | 23:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | then drop to a command shell with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or SSH in) | 23:55 |
| giver | ok,I know I have sound when boots | 23:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | and play about with alsamixer till you hear sound | 23:55 |
| giver | actually,have no videos in the pc yet | 23:55 |
| giver | nor music | 23:55 |
| giver | I can try playing wav sounds in some folder? | 23:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | Yeah, sure | 23:55 |
| giver | ok,any idea which folder have some wavs? | 23:56 |
| giver | don;t know much the tree structure yet | 23:56 |
| TheBlasphemer | No idea, I'm not that comfy with linux ;) | 23:56 |
| giver | ok | 23:56 |
| giver | I'll find it | 23:56 |
| hads | locate .wav | 23:56 |
| giver | ok | 23:56 |
| giver | fine | 23:57 |
| giver | big list | 23:57 |
| giver | yep,have sound | 23:58 |
| TheBlasphemer | Hmm, what TV-Tuner are you using? | 23:59 |
| TheBlasphemer | Maybe it's one of those dodgy ones that require a loopback cable ? | 23:59 |
| giver | skywalker-1 | 23:59 |
| giver | sat tuner | 23:59 |
