| Claud-SLC | hello hello | 02:57 |
| Claud-SLC | new setup of mythbuntu 8.10 and need help getting PVR 250 setup | 02:58 |
| toorima | SteveH: check that the card is detected, what kind of sound setup do you have, optical to amp or just regular jack to speakers etc | 03:03 |
| toorima | Claud-SLC: the pvr 250 is supported ootb so should just work | 03:05 |
| Claud-SLC | yeah.... I thot it would be... | 03:06 |
| Claud-SLC | right now sound is just headphones 'til I can move it closer to big screen | 03:06 |
| Claud-SLC | not sure how to get the program guide to update | 03:12 |
| Claud-SLC | selecting TV doesn't do anything | 03:13 |
| Claud-SLC | i think i messed up the samba shares | 03:14 |
| Claud-SLC | did the recommended update and no more shares show up | 03:14 |
| SteveH | toorima: I believe that the sound is on the MB. I've beena unoid/linoid for years, but never really played with sound. | 03:29 |
| SteveH | (Sorry for the delay ... we're in the middle of turkey left-overs) | 03:30 |
| toorima | SteveH: had to much turkey yesterday, can't even think about turkey today... hehe | 03:31 |
| toorima | SteveH: do u get sound outside of mythtv? | 03:32 |
| toorima | SteveH: if not, could be its muted, check alsamixer | 03:37 |

| SteveH | toorima: I asked about the sound device to look for in the dmesg, but I lost network connectivity ... | 04:05 |
| SteveH | OK, OK, so I dislodged the enet cable | 04:05 |
| fuxxy_ | SteveH, did you break the little retention tab off your net cables again? | 04:09 |
| SteveH | fuxxy: Aren't you spozed to take that tab off, to show that they've been used? | 04:10 |

| pretender | does any one know if there is a button that you can hit in mythtv when watching tv to start recording. like you would with a vcr and remote | 07:52 |
| pretender | can anyone advise how i can record from the front end (Watch live TV) is there a keyboard shortcut to start recording when watching live tv | 08:09 |
| toorima | pretender: try R on the keyboard | 08:13 |
| pretender | just tried it thanks | 08:14 |

| Finswimmer | hello, i wanted to get my mythbackend allow frontonds via LAN. therefore i switched bind 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.5. but during boot my mysql will not start as there is no NIC running. Knetworkmanager gets my local IP when entering X. | 11:46 |
| Finswimmer | i am really new to mythbuntu, but using gentoo since years, so what is the best to do? i would suggest to replace knetworkmanager with something that gets the IP before mysql gets started? | 11:47 |
| Finswimmer | but how? | 11:47 |
| Finswimmer | writing an now file in /etc/rc.2/ ? | 11:48 |

| evaryont_ | I have a Dish Network sateillite box and I'm trying to get it to work with my Hauppage HVR 1600. The card has 2 coaxial inputs: Digital and Analog. Which do I plug in the coaxial cable coming from the sateillite box? | 16:07 |
| evaryont_ | Also what channel frequency table should I use? us-bcast us-cable us-cable-hrc or us-cable-irc ? | 16:09 |

| heyheyhey | i have a wierd problem i can not record a set program | 16:28 |
| * gbutters is away: Gone away for now | 17:05 | |
| * gbutters is back. | 17:16 | |
| heyheyhey | what would cause me not to beable to schedule a recording? | 17:21 |
| dashcloud | evaryont_: I would plug the coaxial cable into the analog side- it doesn't matter what frequency you use- us-bcast is fine | 17:46 |
| fuxxy_ | evaryont_, my brother's got a Dish Network DVR, it's got LOTS of jacks to connect devices with. Does yours have firewire or USB? | 17:58 |
| fuxxy_ | evaryont_, it will work if you just use the analog RF out, but you won't get the best signal possible. If the box supports it, it would be best to use firewire | 17:58 |
| Crewsr3 | I set up my mythbox with an LCD. How do I get the image onto my tv, and can I run both my LCD and TV? | 17:59 |
| fuxxy_ | Crewsr3, there's a lot of variables with that. I would suggest reading up on you video card options, specifically the Xorg options pertaining to xinerama | 18:06 |
| fuxxy_ | Crewsr3, if you've got an HDTV with VGA, DVI, or HDMI inputs, you'd be best to buy a cable to plug your machine in using one of those. | 18:07 |
| Crewsr3 | fuxxy_: sorry, I had a run for a second. I have a SDTV with 480i and I'm running s-video out of my nvidia card. On the same card I'm running this LCD. I looked around in the nvidia sever settings and could not find anything that mentioned s-video out | 18:26 |
| fuxxy_ | Crewsr3, on my FX5200 I found that if I boot the system with only the S-video cable attached to the tv, it JustWorked(tm) | 18:28 |
| fuxxy_ | but I never could get it to dual display with tvout and VGA | 18:28 |
| foxbuntu | fuxxy_, you need to setup twinview | 18:28 |
| Crewsr3 | foxbuntu: what is twinview? | 18:29 |
| foxbuntu | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html | 18:29 |
| Crewsr3 | foxbuntu: can you send me a copy of your xorg.conf settings for a reverence | 18:35 |
| foxbuntu | Crewsr3, I dont use twinview | 18:35 |
| Crewsr3 | Thanks everyone, | 18:38 |

| evaryont_ | for my Dish Network + MythTV setup in Mythbuntu - where is the lirc script (if any exists) to change the channel? | 18:56 |
| dashcloud | here's a link to a lirc script for Dish Network: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration | 18:59 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, you will need to grab the directv.pl script and use that | 18:59 |
| foxbuntu | or that | 19:00 |
| foxbuntu | :) | 19:00 |
| evaryont_ | dashcloud: thanks | 19:02 |
| evaryont_ | hm | 19:03 |
| evaryont_ | that lirc conf defines a lot of dishN remotes - dish, dish1, dish2, etc - where N is for "remotes using remote code X" How do I know which remote code my DISH box/remote is using? | 19:04 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, either guess or google your model of STB from dish | 19:05 |
| evaryont_ | lots of guessing :) STB = ? | 19:06 |
| dashcloud | it looks like they just go from dish1, and increase with each box you have | 19:07 |
| evaryont_ | dashcloud: uh, I still don't understand :/ I have 2 DISH boxes - the one I'm trying to configure w/ MythTV is the first one, the so called "Master" box | 19:08 |
| evaryont_ | oh STB is "set top box" :) | 19:09 |
| dashcloud | in the comments at the top of the script, it says it starts with dish1- which is the default for people with only 1 receiver | 19:11 |
| dashcloud | so I would imagine it goes up from there (not having Dish, I can't tell you) | 19:11 |
| evaryont_ | alright, thanks for the help :) | 19:12 |
| Claud-SLC | how do you get the program guide to update? | 19:32 |
| Claud-SLC | I've set up an account with Shedules Direct and entered the username and password in Myth | 19:33 |
| * gbutters is back. | 19:38 | |
| dashcloud | did you create a video source in myth-backend setup? | 19:38 |
| dashcloud | you'll need to create a video source, and connect it to an input (it's one of the menu options- input connections) | 19:40 |
| Claud-SLC | yeah - I called it ScheduleDirect or something like that | 19:45 |
| Claud-SLC | how do I tell it to update? | 19:45 |
| * gbutters is away: Gone away for now | 19:54 | |
| * gbutters is back. | 20:11 | |
| dashcloud | Claud-SLC: sorry bout that, after you typed in your user namer & password, did you press the fetch lineup button? | 20:12 |
| Claud-SLC | yeahm but I dont think anything is updating.... :( | 20:43 |
| Claud-SLC | I just tried again | 20:44 |
| Claud-SLC | I'll be back to try it again | 20:44 |
| dashcloud | if you've put in the correct username & password (and the box above it is set to schedulesdirect (internal) ), you'll see the name of your first lineup | 20:44 |
| evaryont_ | what is the best way to test the lirc remote? | 21:57 |
| laga | evaryont_: irw | 21:57 |
| evaryont_ | hm | 21:57 |
| evaryont_ | "connect: no such file or directory" - lirc isn't running? | 21:57 |
| uomogrande | Using Mythbuntu 8.10, I have a V4L capture device added, I need Myth to set it to channel 3 when it starts up , and then use an external changer script to change channels, I believe I have this setup right, however its not working, does anyone have experience with using the `External Changer Script` options ? Been browsing webpages for answers but have yet to find any | 21:58 |
| evaryont_ | if so, how do I start lirc? | 21:59 |
| evaryont_ | I have the A415-HPG-A remote from Hauppage (shipped with the HVR-1600) - what modules do I need to load? | 22:02 |
| evaryont_ | /etc/init.d/lirc start returns "Unable to load LIRC kernel modules" | 22:03 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, then you have an improper lirc setup | 22:05 |
| foxbuntu | uomogrande, which external changer script? | 22:06 |
| uomogrande | well atm ... 'mythchanger' .. using it to change channels via firewire to a SA4250HDC | 22:06 |
| foxbuntu | ah | 22:06 |
| foxbuntu | I dont know anything about that one | 22:07 |
| uomogrande | fromt he other myth channel, basically was just told to get rid of the 'default channel' field in myth-setup , and instead just set the channel to 3 in the external changer script in a line before i call mythchanger, so just write a small bash frontend to mythchanger that also calls something else to change the capture card channel | 22:08 |
| evaryont_ | foxbuntu: what is the proper setup? :) | 22:08 |
| evaryont_ | :/ | 22:09 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, sorry about that...issues with X | 22:10 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, what hardware are you using? | 22:10 |
| evaryont_ | foxbuntu: heh, np. Which piece of hw are you asking about? :/ | 22:11 |
| foxbuntu | your remote receiver/remote | 22:12 |
| uomogrande | OHHHHH while i'm here one more question but its not really MythTV specific, ... I got a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to go from my video card to my TV , however, it seems the TV always sets the resolution slightly smaller than what the computer thinks it is, by that i mean , there is a good amount of my screen hidden on all sides, Does anyone know what is needed to do to setup the resolution to work right with the DVI -> | 22:13 |
| evaryont_ | Remote: A415-HPG-A | 22:14 |
| evaryont_ | IR w/blaster: HAU-F6021146-5M | 22:14 |
| laga | uomogrande: that's called "overscan" and it might be possible to turn it off on the TV.. | 22:14 |
| evaryont_ | foxbuntu: info -^ | 22:14 |
| laga | uomogrande: and, uh, please don't cross-post | 22:15 |
| uomogrande | I looked around and couldnt find any options that really seemed to do it on the TV .. unfortunatly ... if my TV doesnt have a setting in it to fix it, can i fix it on the computer/OS side? | 22:15 |
| uomogrande | k | 22:15 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, I dont know models, can you point me to a link of that what that remote is, or where it came from? | 22:16 |
| evaryont_ | it comes w/ the Hauppage HVR-1600 | 22:16 |
| evaryont_ | uh | 22:17 |
| evaryont_ | http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/images/wintv-hvr-1600_big.jpg | 22:17 |
| evaryont_ | that's a pic of the card + remote | 22:17 |
| foxbuntu | ah yes. an mce remote | 22:18 |
| evaryont_ | really? mce? | 22:18 |
| foxbuntu | yea | 22:18 |
| evaryont_ | huh. didn't know that. | 22:18 |
| foxbuntu | very commonnnnnnnnnnn | 22:19 |
| foxbuntu | ugh | 22:19 |
| foxbuntu | anyways | 22:19 |
| foxbuntu | 3 ways to fix your issue | 22:19 |
| foxbuntu | 1) Mythbuntu-Control-Centre | 22:19 |
| foxbuntu | Select Infrared Devices > Change remote to Windows MCE Remote (new version) > Apply | 22:20 |
| foxbuntu | Restart MythTV | 22:20 |
| foxbuntu | that should be the easiest | 22:20 |
| evaryont_ | alright | 22:20 |
| evaryont_ | I'll try that first | 22:20 |
| evaryont_ | changed it, didn't help - still got the unable to load LIRC kernel modules | 22:22 |
| evaryont_ | hrm | 22:23 |
| evaryont_ | rebooting the computer - that may or may not help. will see :) | 22:23 |
| evaryont_ | nope | 22:27 |
| evaryont_ | didn't help :( | 22:27 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, hmm | 22:27 |
| foxbuntu | pastebin the output of: lsusb | 22:27 |
| foxbuntu | !pastebin | evaryont_ | 22:27 |
| Zinn | evaryont_: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 22:27 |
| evaryont_ | alright | 22:28 |
| evaryont_ | foxbuntu: well, why lsusb? | 22:28 |
| evaryont_ | foxbuntu: also, 4 busess w/ ID 0000:0000 | 22:29 |
| evaryont_ | no extra info | 22:29 |
| foxbuntu | evaryont_, where does the ir receiver plug in? | 22:29 |
| evaryont_ | into the card it self, there is a dedicated plug | 22:29 |
| foxbuntu | for a receiver? | 22:30 |
| foxbuntu | or a blaster? | 22:30 |
| evaryont_ | both - it's a 2-in-one | 22:30 |
| evaryont_ | it splits right at the connector | 22:30 |
| foxbuntu | oh | 22:32 |
| foxbuntu | thats a different module then | 22:32 |
| evaryont_ | fun | 22:33 |
| evaryont_ | which? | 22:33 |
| foxbuntu | Im looking | 22:34 |
| evaryont_ | thanks | 22:34 |
| foxbuntu | its a newer card, but this is the reason lirc fails | 22:34 |
| foxbuntu | go back into MCC and select Hauppage PVR150 TV Card | 22:35 |
| evaryont_ | under Infrared Devices > "Enable a Remote Control" ? | 22:38 |
| evaryont_ | if so | 22:39 |
| evaryont_ | I don't see it | 22:39 |
| evaryont_ | I did see a generic "Hauppauge TV Card" | 22:40 |
| evaryont_ | but yet I still get an error :( | 22:40 |
| evaryont_ | same - "Unable to load LIRC kernel modules" | 22:41 |
| foxbuntu | yeah | 22:41 |
| foxbuntu | try this: sudo modprobe lirc_pvr150 | 22:42 |
| evaryont_ | Error doing that - "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" | 22:43 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 22:43 |
| evaryont_ | dmesg reports: "lirc_pvr150: disagrees about vesion of symbol ivttv_reset_ir_gpio" | 22:44 |
| evaryont_ | 3 times | 22:44 |
| evaryont_ | ah, and "Unknown symbol ivtv_reset_ir_gpio" | 22:44 |
| foxbuntu | I just dont know with that IR receiver...I would poke around in the forums/on google for those errors and that card to figure out what module/driver you should be using | 22:44 |
| foxbuntu | I can help you change the module by hand if you can determine which one it is | 22:46 |
| evaryont_ | hmm | 22:47 |
| evaryont_ | I figured more info (yay dmesg poking) | 22:47 |
| evaryont_ | apparently it's a phiips eHome USB IR Transciever | 22:47 |
| evaryont_ | Philips* | 22:47 |
| evaryont_ | but it uses a 1/16" connector that plugs into the back of the card | 22:48 |
| evaryont_ | http://www.hauppauge.com/pics/hvr1600_connector-b.gif <- diagram | 22:49 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 22:50 |
| foxbuntu | try finding it with lspci | 22:50 |
| evaryont_ | not listed :/ | 22:53 |
| evaryont_ | I see the Conexant MPEG2 encoder | 22:53 |
| foxbuntu | is the tuner listed? | 22:53 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 22:53 |
| NineTeen67Comet | I've got a question about 8.04.1; when installing it asks which software to install. What is Mythbuntu additional rolls? That box is just going to be a front end (MySQL and the media files are on a central computer w/backend) .. | 23:23 |
| NineTeen67Comet | 8.10 wouldn't install (shaky hardware) | 23:25 |
