grndslmanybody here use xbox media center on the frontend?01:41
rhpot1991_laptopgrndslm: I used to01:52
rhpot1991_laptopwell, on an xbox01:52
grndslmhah... well, i'm trying to use it with a myth-backend01:53
grndslmbut i can't get it to playback recordings at regular speed01:53
grndslmit's always sped up like 2x or something01:53
grndslmactually... hitting the FF button makes it go slower01:53
grndslmso it's prolly a bit more than 2x01:53
dashcloudI'm having trouble adding a frontend to my kubuntu desktop- I put in my backend's IP address & port, but it says it can't find the machine01:54
rhpot1991_laptopgrndslm: not sure if it will help but have you seen this : http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Frontend01:55
rhpot1991_laptopdashcloud: did you enable the mysql service in MCC on the backend?01:58
grndslmdashcloud:  have you edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf ??01:58
dashcloudrhpot1991_laptop: I just turned on the mysql service- let me check03:03
dashcloudgrndslm: the settings in the file should match those on the backend?03:05
dashcloudokay- I'm not sure why, but it started working after I started it with -p and chose my backend03:16
dashcloudmaybe it was just that I forgot the mysql service needed to be turned on03:17
dashcloudthanks guys!03:17
Louisis it safe to upgrade mythbuntu to 8.10 now?03:47
Louisis it safe to upgrade mythbuntu to 8.10 now? (don't know if the fist one went through)03:47
hadsIt did03:48
Louishaha okay. sorry about the mini flood then03:54
foxbuntuLouis, depends on several things ;)04:32
Louisfoxbuntu:  like what?04:34
foxbuntuLouis, your comfort with dealing with things *if* they break, what hardware you are running, what your system is setup like...ect ect04:35
Louisoh i see. i guess it's probably just safer not to mess with it if it works04:37
Louisalthougth i think my setup is fairly standards04:37
Louis*standard04:37
foxbuntuLouis, unless there is some pressing need to upgrade, (something is broke, you want some new feature, ect) then dont fix what isnt broke, although _most_ of the time the upgrades work perfectly, in some cases they don't04:39
Louisright. that server runs all my backups anyway, so i probably shouldnt f--- with it04:41
Louisjust for the sake of knowledge though, if i wanted to upgrade, what's the CLI command for that?04:41
hadsdo-release-upgrade04:47
Louishads:  thanks. how is that different from apt-get dist upgrade?04:48
hadsThe mythtv versions in both are the same so you're getting an upgraded system with the same mythtv - whether that is nessecary/benificial for you is something you can answer.04:48
Louisi see. okay thanks a lot04:48
hadsdo-release-upgrade makes sure things that that should be installed are, edge cases and removeing obsolete stuff.04:49
Louisgotcha. so do-release-upgrade essentially handles everything, not just the core system?04:51
hadsIt will run a dist-upgrade as part of it but just does a few extra things.04:52
Louisi see. okay thanks much04:54
rhpot1991dashcloud: it was most likely the mysql service missing, that lets remove machines connect to mysql on that box06:05

zippytechi have a pvr150 that the remote works on 8.04 any idea why it will not work on 8.10?17:18
javatexanhey all19:30
javatexanI had a Sata drive go down today and it got me to thinking again about backups :).  My mythbuntu box motherboard has 4 extra sata slots, but no raid support on that.   I am wondering if there is a way to configure Raid 5 or 6 "boxes" up to my mythbuntu box's extra sata ports.  Anyone tackle something like this in the past?19:34
javatexanmy myth collection is way too large to bakup on tape, i think...maybe not19:38
javatexannot sure19:38
foxbuntujavatexan, depends on the tape and how much money you want to spend, LTO 4 tapes will do 1.6TB compressed19:49

balachmarHi, I want to try to play a dvd and when I select play dvd the screen goes black and then instantly comes back to the menu. How can I fix this?19:53
balachmarOK, probably it is the dvd itself20:05

spoky99hi all21:21
henrik_Daviey, are you here?21:24
Textbookstupid question, does MythTV require an EPG ?  I don't really need one21:27
henrik_No you don't need to have an EPG.21:27
Textbookthanks21:31
henrik_NP!21:32
fatmonkCan anyone tell me where to find the monitor aspect ratio setting (not the force aspect ratio setting)? I can't seem to find it and myth is letterboxing all of my 16:9 content.21:34
foxbuntufatmonk, last time that happened to me, it was because my vid card wasnt using the proper driver21:40
foxbuntu..or the driver didnt load21:40
jphillipfatmonk IIRC there is something on the 2nd page of the playback settings21:42
jphillipfatmonk also settings in the menu as well, but they reset when you start a new video21:42
fatmonkI think I might just have sussed it - I needed to enable seperate video settings for gui and video, then actually set them the same but specify the aspect ratio (rather than let myth use what the monitor reports).. that seems to be working, but I've got big problems with Live TV at the moment as well - very low frame rate, its fne when playing back a recording though...21:43
Davieyhenrik_: o/21:50
henrik_Daviey, How is weekly for 8.10 comming along?21:51
henrik_haven't seen it on .uk21:51
Davieyhenrik_: pester tgm4883_laptop, he's supposed to be doing it :)21:52
DavieyHe's pushing the build.. i'll mirror it21:52
henrik_ohh nice! I thaught the build was already done, since it is up on lunchpad.21:53
henrik_laga, had something to do with that one I think.21:53
henrik_Daviey, do you know if the weeklys are manually built or if there is a script who do it automaticly. I haven't been able to figure out at what date every week the weeklys are released.21:56
spoky99Textbook: EPG? if you want record one program using auto poweroff and wakeup.. you could use grab or EPG21:56
Davieyhenrik_: they are automatically mirrored21:57
Textbookwell I just didn't want to pay for something I wasn't going to use, mainly I'm testing out MythTV with my QAM Tuner card to record some ice hockey games, and I know when they come on and I'm always home, so I don't need an EPG21:58
spoky99Textbook: setting the program manually don't work fine21:58
spoky99Textbook: Is like me, I asked it ar someone that tell me that mythtv is not a pvr and I could use the program guide22:00
spoky99Textbook: my problem was that in italy aren't a grabtv, It work from a while and now mythtv is better :D22:02
spoky99Textbook: I don't know how is good the program guide even I use it :D22:02
henrik_Daviey, I understand they are mirrored automaticly but are they built at the source automatic?22:03
Davieyno22:09
Davieyhenrik_: apt-get update :)22:09
henrik_Daviey, I think we fail to understand oneanother. Problebly cause I'm not native english speaker. My question was, The weeklys are compiled from the fixes source of Mythtv with some patching etc to fit Mythbuntu. My question was, when this initial build is done is it done by hand or is it done by script.22:12
Davieyhenrik_: the builds are always manually pushed (at the moment at least), but they are automatically mirrored22:13
Davieyhenrik_: part of the reason it's manual, as often changes need to be made prior to upload22:13
henrik_Okey so there is no day of the weeks that the weeklys are made? From expreience I have seen they are publiched very unregularly.22:14
Davieyhenrik_: we will get better at this22:21
Daviey(promise!)22:21
fatmonkdaviey: I've just run update manager and have got a message saying that not all updates can be installed. Thinkgs like libmyth-0.21-0 are not selectable... shoudl I be worried?22:23
Davieyhmm22:27
Davieyfatmonk: don't update then22:27
Davieyfatmonk: can you try changing to the us mirror, and see if that has the same thing?22:27
fatmonkdaviey: you want to give me a clue what to change the source to?22:28
Davieyfatmonk: sure22:28
Davieyfatmonk: sudo sed -i 's/uk.weekly/weekly/g /etc/apt/sources.list22:29
Davieyerr22:29
Davieysed -i 's/uk.weekly/weekly/g' /etc/apt/sources.list22:29
fatmonkits not just as simple as changing the uk to us at the start of the url in software sources / third party is it?22:29
Davieyyes22:29
Davieyjust remove the "uk."22:29
fatmonkok. did that, let it update the sources and have just run update manager again. Now claims my system is up to date!22:31
fatmonkguess that coul dmean that us and uk repositories are not quite the same?22:34
Davieyfatmonk: they SHOULD be.. but intrepid has caused some problems22:36
Davieywe are working on it22:36
fatmonkdaviey: no worries. just wanted to make sure my system wasn't too screwed up - i seem to make my builds go flaky pretyy quickly an dthat was a new error. good luck!22:38
