sigmab3tahello guys, i am trying to set up mythtv on a standard ubuntu installation. I have an MSI TV@nywhere card and i've succeeded in getting it to show an image, but both it and the sound are much faster than normal and it has to stop like every half a second to sync up again.03:34
sigmab3tahow can i fix that?03:34

dreixelI set up mythbuntu on a normal monitor, and after having it installed moved it to my tv. The tv has vga input, so it uses exactly the same output as when i used the monitor. But now I get no image (past the startup phase, so when X starts). Any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks.11:18
=== _Mazga is now known as Mazga
dreixeluhm, actually I don't get an image even if I boot from the livecd...11:56

Mordhorsthi all!14:29
Mordhorstsomeone can give me a hint regarding to dvb-c in germany?14:30
lagawhat do you need to know?14:31
Mordhorsti actually running a satelco pci dvb-c card in my mythtv box. but i can not find all channels. a native receiver on the same connections can do so.14:31
Mordhorstthere´s a ci/cam on the card (Alphacrypt classic version 3.16 with keycard)14:32
Mordhorstbtw. my provider is unitymedia14:32
lagabut you do find some channels?14:32
lagawhat channels are you missing?14:33
Mordhorsti do find some channels but none of them works... black screen. i miss some channels (like RTL, SAT.1, ProSieben)14:33
lagahum14:33
lagahow's signal strength?14:33
Mordhorstabout 90 to 95%14:34
lagaand SNR?14:34
Mordhorstabout 8514:34
lagadoes it work without the CAM?14:34
lagapro7 etc are not encrypted on unitymedia AFAIK14:34
Mordhorsthaven´t tried that yet14:34
Mordhorstdmesg shows up the cam14:35
lagaoh, it's encrypted, never mind14:35
Mordhorstonly a very few channels on unitymedia are not encrypted.14:35
Mordhorsti have tried some windoze based software already (sceneo or media portal), but none of them finds all channels. so maybe i have to blame the satelco card for that?14:36
lagayeah. maybe the cable is too long14:38
lagaor reception is bad14:38
lagai get lots of artefacts in my new appartment.. but also my cable is very long14:38
Mordhorsti tried the cable which i normally use for connecting the native receiver (which works fine), but it does not really work14:39
lagamaybe your PSU is cheap and breaks reception14:40
lagaor try a different PCI slot14:40
Mordhorstthere´s only one PCI slot. ;)14:40
Mordhorstbut i may try a stronger psu14:41
Mordhorstso you don´t think it´s the card?14:41
lagait could be everything :)14:41
Mordhorstlol ok14:41
lagabtw, i also own the same card (knc1)14:41
lagawell, it's the same design14:41
Mordhorstwhich provider are you using?14:42
lagakabel deutschland14:42
Mordhorsthm ok14:42
lagaMordhorst: there's also a german channel: #mythtv-de14:42
Mordhorstwill connect to that additionally... thx for the hint14:42

PeteBhi. How do I upgrade mythbuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using the CD? I added it to my software sources but it said only 1 file was to be upgraded. The Ubuntu install instructuions say to run a file called 'cdromupgrade' on the Alternate CD but that doesn't exist on the Mythbuntu CD.16:40

frozenskunkAnyone know how to get the TV output of a Hauppauge 350 working under 8.10? I have gotten it to display test patterns and such, but when I try to move my display over by changing my xorg.conf file, it tries to boot, but dumps me to a command line login (which is at least displayed on the TV instead of the monitor) instead of into an x session17:08

fatmonk1Having trouble getting TV-out to work again on an nVidia 8500GT. Was working a couple of weeks ago, then had to do a reinstall from scratch. Now running 8.10, and just can't get anything on the TV (via S-Video). When I click identify in nvidia-settings the TV screen does flicker and sometimes shows something like my screen. xorg.conf at http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/mb7e9e8f17:12
MythbuntuGuest80i am stuck, i have been running mythbuntu for a couple of months now, i created a new directory in my videos directory then when i went into myth and went to video manager the program froze17:17
MythbuntuGuest80i rebooted and now it just goes to BusyBox about 5 seconds of showing the Mythbuntu splash17:17
MythbuntuGuest80can anyone please help me, i don't want to do a new install if there is a chance i can save my data.17:32
mrandI can't help much at the moment, but you might look up how to disable the splash and quiet mode on your bootline and see if you can see if any error messages are showing up.17:33
fatmonk2ok, here's an easy one then... where do i find the mount tab file?18:13
Tuv0kmtab?18:13
fatmonk2Tuv0k>that's the one! want to back it up as finally have a reasonable disk build, and keep having to rebuild. that'll save a bit of hassle.18:15
Tuv0kmtab is not the file to back up18:16
Tuv0kmaybe ou want to backup fstab?18:16
Tuv0kand all files can be found with a search18:16
Tuv0kcnfig files are in /etc18:17
fatmonk2Tuv0k> fstab is the other i'm after, yup. mtab was mountab (or similar) in th unix versions I've usaed back a few years ago. been searching for various versions of that name, but not mtab (typical!)18:19
fatmonk2now if i could get this nvidia xorg issue sorted maybe I wouldn't18:20
fatmonk2keep having to rebuild...18:20
Tuv0kwhat nvidia issue?18:25
fatmonk2Tuv0k>cannot for the life of me get tv-out working again. Was working no problem on my original 8.04 build, but that ended up trashed trying to get lirc working (thats still on th list!). A reinstall of 8.04 yesterday left me with no tv-out, as has an 8.10 install.18:29
fatmonk2Tuv0k> i get flickers on the tv as the box boots, and if i click identify when i have cloned twinview set up i sometimes get a very short (<1s) glimpse of the desktop, but just as a flicker in the middle of the screen.18:30
Tuv0ksorry to hear that I don't use TV-out18:31
sknightfatmonk2>what model nvidia card are you using?18:52

woscan anyone tell me how i can recieve digital cable tv on my ubuntu laptop? i already have a digital cablebox, all i need is something to put the coaxial cable into, right? also, is there anyway to do this wireless?19:55
wostgm4883_laptop:19:56
tgm4883_laptopwos, there is a dev meeting going on right now, you will have to wait a bit for an answer19:57
woshow long?19:57
tgm4883_laptopmaybe 15 minutes?19:58
tgm4883_laptopmaybe an hour19:58
tgm4883_laptopwos, you need either to stream via firewire or get a digital tuner card for your laptop20:14
mrandwos, You need a video capture device or firewire input.20:14
mrandhahaha20:14

tgm4883_laptopoh noes, I owe you a coke20:14
mrand*laugh*20:14
mrandI actually need to go.  See ya!20:15
tgm4883_laptopwos, wirelessly, you will either need to have a separate backend that records the shows, or have a digital tuner card and hook it up to an antenna20:15

Zinnhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Tuner_Card#Cards_that_work20:22
wosthanks! but now, what KIND of card do i need??20:22
tgm4883_laptopok, so you have 2 options20:23
wosok20:23
tgm4883_laptopyou only need an analog capture card if you are going to use your cable box20:24
wosok20:24
tgm4883_laptopthat thing you linked to would work if its supported in linux20:25
wosok20:25
tgm4883_laptopyou might want to google the name of that device and linux and see what other people say about it20:26
wosi did20:26
wosnothing came up20:26
wosits a cheapo off beat tuner20:26
tgm4883_laptopyea usually not good20:26
wosso analog cards are the cheapest?20:27
tgm4883_laptopwell analog cards have been around for longer, but everything is going digital in the US so they will be harder to come by20:27
wosok20:28
tgm4883_laptopif you do get an analog card, make sure it has a hardware encoder in it20:28
wosand how do i find a USB tuner that will be compatible with linux?20:28
tgm4883_laptopsoftware encoders will be cheaper, but IMO they aren't worth it20:28
woshardware encoder?20:28
tgm4883_laptopyea, it has a chip that will compress the shows for you20:29
tgm4883_laptopotherwise your CPU has to do it20:29
tgm4883_laptopif you go to that page I linked to, there is a section called "USB Capture Cards "20:30
wosoh ok20:30
tgm4883_laptopi'd find a card there, then go buy it ;)20:30
wosthanks. can i add you to my buddy list in yahoo gtalk or any other20:30

tgm4883_laptopBandC, well you have a few options.  If you are in the US and it's a digital cable box you can use firewire20:33
tgm4883_laptopotherwise, i'd grab a cheap PVR-150 off ebay20:33
BandCim in US and its digital cable20:33
tgm4883_laptopBandC, then I'd use firewire, unless you want to record premium channels20:33
