[01:41] <grndslm> anybody here use xbox media center on the frontend?
[01:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> grndslm: I used to
[01:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> well, on an xbox
[01:53] <grndslm> hah... well, i'm trying to use it with a myth-backend
[01:53] <grndslm> but i can't get it to playback recordings at regular speed
[01:53] <grndslm> it's always sped up like 2x or something
[01:53] <grndslm> actually... hitting the FF button makes it go slower
[01:53] <grndslm> so it's prolly a bit more than 2x
[01:54] <dashcloud> I'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 machine
[01:55] <rhpot1991_laptop> grndslm: not sure if it will help but have you seen this : http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Frontend
[01:58] <rhpot1991_laptop> dashcloud: did you enable the mysql service in MCC on the backend?
[01:58] <grndslm> dashcloud:  have you edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf ??
[03:03] <dashcloud> rhpot1991_laptop: I just turned on the mysql service- let me check
[03:05] <dashcloud> grndslm: the settings in the file should match those on the backend?
[03:16] <dashcloud> okay- I'm not sure why, but it started working after I started it with -p and chose my backend
[03:17] <dashcloud> maybe it was just that I forgot the mysql service needed to be turned on
[03:17] <dashcloud> thanks guys!
[03:47] <Louis> is it safe to upgrade mythbuntu to 8.10 now?
[03:47] <Louis> is it safe to upgrade mythbuntu to 8.10 now? (don't know if the fist one went through)
[03:48] <hads> It did
[03:54] <Louis> haha okay. sorry about the mini flood then
[04:32] <foxbuntu> Louis, depends on several things ;)
[04:34] <Louis> foxbuntu:  like what?
[04:35] <foxbuntu> Louis, your comfort with dealing with things *if* they break, what hardware you are running, what your system is setup like...ect ect
[04:37] <Louis> oh i see. i guess it's probably just safer not to mess with it if it works
[04:37] <Louis> althougth i think my setup is fairly standards
[04:37] <Louis> *standard
[04:39] <foxbuntu> Louis, 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't
[04:41] <Louis> right. that server runs all my backups anyway, so i probably shouldnt f--- with it
[04:41] <Louis> just for the sake of knowledge though, if i wanted to upgrade, what's the CLI command for that?
[04:47] <hads> do-release-upgrade
[04:48] <Louis> hads:  thanks. how is that different from apt-get dist upgrade?
[04:48] <hads> The 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] <Louis> i see. okay thanks a lot
[04:49] <hads> do-release-upgrade makes sure things that that should be installed are, edge cases and removeing obsolete stuff.
[04:51] <Louis> gotcha. so do-release-upgrade essentially handles everything, not just the core system?
[04:52] <hads> It will run a dist-upgrade as part of it but just does a few extra things.
[04:54] <Louis> i see. okay thanks much
[06:05] <rhpot1991> dashcloud: it was most likely the mysql service missing, that lets remove machines connect to mysql on that box
[06:32] <klobster> abut too tall myttv on a 8.10 kubuntu OS onan hp f.  any suggestions?
[06:34] <klobster> stupid metal dek (wireless keyboard).  about to try to install mythtv on a 8.10 kubuntu OS on an hp 9150f
[07:10] <LonEagle> anyone ever have mythtv-setup in the  input connections screen refuse to pull channels from datadirect?
[07:10] <LonEagle> schedulesdirect, whatever.
[07:12] <LonEagle> it just doesn't do anything and i don't get an error, not even in the console
[07:25] <LonEagle> ohh, it's because it's hd
[07:25] <LonEagle> that button only works for ntsc tuners
[07:28] <LonEagle> i see what my problem was overall -- my hdhomerun ac adapter flaked out on me, so i didn't get a channel lock for anything the first time i tried that
[07:30] <LonEagle> grabbed that new ac adapter that silicondust sent me and everything is okay

[09:36] <aaron> I know that this is kind of off-topic but can anybody explain to me how I know what speed ram to buy for a particular motherboard? (I'm building a mythtv box, hence why I'm in this channel)
[17:18] <zippytech> i have a pvr150 that the remote works on 8.04 any idea why it will not work on 8.10?
[19:30] <javatexan> hey all
[19:34] <javatexan> I 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?
[19:38] <javatexan> my myth collection is way too large to bakup on tape, i think...maybe not
[19:38] <javatexan> not sure
[19:49] <foxbuntu> javatexan, depends on the tape and how much money you want to spend, LTO 4 tapes will do 1.6TB compressed

[19:52] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about dvd
[19:53] <balachmar> Hi, 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?
[20:05] <balachmar> OK, probably it is the dvd itself

[21:21] <spoky99> hi all
[21:24] <henrik_> Daviey, are you here?
[21:27] <Textbook> stupid question, does MythTV require an EPG ?  I don't really need one
[21:27] <henrik_> No you don't need to have an EPG.
[21:31] <Textbook> thanks
[21:32] <henrik_> NP!
[21:34] <fatmonk> Can 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.
[21:40] <foxbuntu> fatmonk, last time that happened to me, it was because my vid card wasnt using the proper driver
[21:40] <foxbuntu> ..or the driver didnt load
[21:42] <jphillip> fatmonk IIRC there is something on the 2nd page of the playback settings
[21:42] <jphillip> fatmonk also settings in the menu as well, but they reset when you start a new video
[21:43] <fatmonk> I 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...
[21:50] <Daviey> henrik_: o/
[21:51] <henrik_> Daviey, How is weekly for 8.10 comming along?
[21:51] <henrik_> haven't seen it on .uk
[21:52] <Daviey> henrik_: pester tgm4883_laptop, he's supposed to be doing it :)
[21:52] <Daviey> He's pushing the build.. i'll mirror it
[21:53] <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.
[21:56] <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] <spoky99> Textbook: EPG? if you want record one program using auto poweroff and wakeup.. you could use grab or EPG
[21:57] <Daviey> henrik_: they are automatically mirrored
[21:58] <Textbook> well 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 EPG
[21:58] <spoky99> Textbook: setting the program manually don't work fine
[22:00] <spoky99> Textbook: Is like me, I asked it ar someone that tell me that mythtv is not a pvr and I could use the program guide
[22:02] <spoky99> Textbook: my problem was that in italy aren't a grabtv, It work from a while and now mythtv is better :D
[22:02] <spoky99> Textbook: I don't know how is good the program guide even I use it :D
[22:03] <henrik_> Daviey, I understand they are mirrored automaticly but are they built at the source automatic?
[22:09] <Daviey> no
[22:09] <Daviey> henrik_: apt-get update :)
[22:12] <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.
[22:13] <Daviey> henrik_: the builds are always manually pushed (at the moment at least), but they are automatically mirrored
[22:13] <Daviey> henrik_: part of the reason it's manual, as often changes need to be made prior to upload
[22:14] <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.
[22:21] <Daviey> henrik_: we will get better at this
[22:21] <Daviey> (promise!)
[22:23] <fatmonk> daviey: 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?
[22:27] <Daviey> hmm
[22:27] <Daviey> fatmonk: don't update then
[22:27] <Daviey> fatmonk: can you try changing to the us mirror, and see if that has the same thing?
[22:28] <fatmonk> daviey: you want to give me a clue what to change the source to?
[22:28] <Daviey> fatmonk: sure
[22:29] <Daviey> fatmonk: sudo sed -i 's/uk.weekly/weekly/g /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:29] <Daviey> err
[22:29] <Daviey> sed -i 's/uk.weekly/weekly/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:29] <fatmonk> its 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] <Daviey> yes
[22:29] <Daviey> just remove the "uk."
[22:31] <fatmonk> ok. did that, let it update the sources and have just run update manager again. Now claims my system is up to date!
[22:34] <fatmonk> guess that coul dmean that us and uk repositories are not quite the same?
[22:36] <Daviey> fatmonk: they SHOULD be.. but intrepid has caused some problems
[22:36] <Daviey> we are working on it
[22:38] <fatmonk> daviey: 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!
[22:49] <erat123> does anyone know how to install flashplugin-nonfree on mythbuntu?  it installed, but the browser supported in mythbuntu must not be firefox
