[00:46] jphillip: using 8.10 upgraded from 8.04 [00:47] this was the question if anyone wonders: anyone having problems with the imdb script? I don't get any user rating and I get low res covers, but I've seen bug report on the covers but nothing on imdb score? [02:02] ok solved the problem with no user rating, changed a little on imdb.pl so its working now, just the low res posters left to fix, any news anyone? [02:02] toorima: what version of mythbuntu are you running? [02:08] 8.10 upgraded from 8.04 [02:13] do you guys all get high res covers in mythvideo? [02:17] I just installed mythbuntu 8.10 on my frontend/backend slave and when running mythtv-setup it asks me to stop the backend and I select OK, and then a window comes up, disapears, and then I get asked to restart the backend and then to run mythfilldatabase. the rest of the configuring is completely skipped. Has anyone seen this before? [02:18] I've installed mythtv many times before and have never seen this behaviour [02:21] toorima: I thought it was fixed, give me a few minutes and I'll check on it [02:27] rhpot1991: ok, thx for the help [02:29] Gumby: Ubuntu has a wrapper script for mythtv-setup and it sounds like the real binary is not running for you. Try running mythtv-setup.real directly and see what the output is. [02:29] hads: I'll give that a shot thanks [02:35] "QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image" this is the only error I get. [02:36] same issue when running mythtv-setup.real [02:36] hrm... also Couldn't find theme metallurgy-osd [02:37] yet, the theme is installed [02:39] I actually uninstalled the theme and now setup is using "default" quite odd [02:40] or rather "G.A.N.T" [02:47] seems to work fine here toorima [02:48] what version of imdb.pl do you have? [02:49] and what version of mythvideo: dpkg -l mythvideo |grep ^ii [02:50] gotta walk my dogs I'll be back in a bit [03:01] rhpot1991: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [03:04] toorima, do this: apt-cache policy mythvideo [03:10] that is the latest [03:10] do locate imdb.pl make sure it only returns this: [03:10] /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl [03:27] rhpot1991: its the only one in there [03:28] says version 1.3 in imdb.pl tho [03:33] mythvideo: [03:33] Installed: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [03:33] Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [03:33] Version table: [03:33] *** 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 0 [03:33] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages [03:33] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [03:33] foxbuntu: didn't see your answer first, thx for looking at it for me [03:34] toorima, do a sudo apt-get update and then run that again [03:35] ok [03:35] mythvideo: [03:35] Installed: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [03:35] Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [03:35] Version table: [03:35] *** 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 0 [03:35] 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages [03:35] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [03:39] toorima, are you using a static ip? [03:39] yeah [03:40] do this: cat /etc/resolv.conf [03:40] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [03:41] that is my router [03:46] I have a question about system requirements...could I get away with using this http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=35333&promoid=1034 if I had a dedicated card for transcoding? [03:47] toorima: are you seeing the poster res problem on new movies? [03:47] new as in ones that weren't in mythvideo before [03:50] yeah its only movies that i've added in the last few weeks that are low res [03:58] toorima: force this IMDB number on one of them and see if the poster is high or low res: 0433383 [04:06] hmm that one is high res [04:06] sorry it took a while, some morron rang the door trying to sell something [04:08] I have a question about system requirements...could I get away with using this http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=35333&promoid=1034 if I had a dedicated card for transcoding? [04:09] toorima: perhaps the videos you are doing are the problem then [04:09] I think it uses a 2nd source if the script doesn't find them from the first [04:10] daande, with a good lpia build you might be able to just skate by [04:10] or an optimized kernel [04:10] I can playback HD on my EEE as long as the network isn't gimping it [04:10] and thats a single core atom [04:11] rhpot1991: yeah but 2 that are low res are eagle eye and in bruges, those should have high res right? [04:11] daande, if your going to use that as a backend and frontend its going to be very tight [04:11] looks like thats a pci slot, get me one of those with a pcie and I'm sold [04:11] ya I wouldn't do backend on it [04:11] Haven't seen any of those with a PCIe yet unfortunately. [04:12] nope [04:12] toorima: clear the data, delete the files associated with it and try again to make sure its not picking up an old one [04:12] I have been watching for them too [04:12] hads: I saw a single core atom but it wasn't mini itx either [04:12] rhpot1991: gonna do that now [04:13] I'm pretty sure we are all watching for them with the same idea in mind :) [04:13] I am waiting for the price to drop on the core i7 to grab one for testing [04:14] Too pricey with a new board and RAM [04:14] right now yes [04:14] would be 1k for the combo [04:14] or near [04:14] Which equates to nearly $2k here :) [04:15] lol [04:15] yes, everything is more expensive on an island :) [04:15] USD = 0.5263 [04:16] UK? [04:16] NZ [04:16] thats what I thought [04:16] NZD > USD ? [04:16] i dint realize that [04:17] Yeah, nearly double. US$1 == NZ$1.9something [04:18] ah [04:18] well remind me not to come to NZ then ;) [04:19] No that works well for you, when you get here you'd have double the money :) [04:19] oh im sorry, I was reading that backwards [04:19] And NZ is cooler ;) [04:20] well Idk about that...I mean you are there :P [04:20] hmm removed the covers, new were downloaded and still low res, anyone here has in bruges or eagle eye in high res? [04:20] i get blank screen right before login screen with myth 8.10. ati x1250 video card. samsug syncmaster lcd. anyone knows anything about that? [04:21] hehe. It's actually pretty warm today at 28 degrees (83 for you weirdos) :) [04:21] hads: hawaii? [04:21] hads, well its end of the summer for you there tough isnt it? [04:21] toorima, New Zealand [04:21] It's early summer [04:21] ah [04:21] hads, oh right [04:21] duh [04:22] early winter here [04:22] :) [04:22] winter here, 78 degrees today [04:22] it was warm here today too, 43F [04:22] brr cold hehe [04:23] no thats good here, its been in the 20's to low 30's for a bit now [04:23] That's chilly [04:23] meh [04:23] in Feb it will be much colder [04:23] more like 10F on a good day [04:23] where i grew up we could have -30 [04:24] that sucked [04:24] toorima, hmm... in the US? or Canada? [04:24] foxbuntu: nah grew up in sweden [04:24] ah [04:24] southern california now [04:24] wow [04:24] what a move [04:25] bit of a difference hehe [04:25] kinda weird not having seasons.... [04:25] I have been job hunting in so cal [04:25] I am testing 9.04 currently, having some issues getting it to do 720p, whenI click on 1360x768@60 the screen says it goes to 1280x768 [04:25] but i dont miss the rain [04:25] foxbuntu: what kinda jobs? [04:26] blahrus_, which card/driver? [04:26] foxbuntu: on board, intel 4500x [04:26] currently using vga port [04:26] toorima, Senior Network Engineer/Network Admin [04:26] would like to use the HDMI [04:26] looks a lot beter [04:26] blahrus_, ah, do you mean X4500HD? [04:27] G45 chipset? [04:27] foxbuntu: tried craigslist? im a system admin, have seen some good network engineer jobs [04:27] yea: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128354 [04:27] toorima, I havent yet [04:27] no sorry g43 [04:27] Our climate is normally -3c to 35c (27f to 95f) [04:27] craigslist is good here in cali [04:28] blahrus_, I have an Asus with the same chipset/card [04:28] oh [04:28] sorry [04:28] tons of adds every day, only downside is you have to search per county [04:28] well you might be a life saver :) [04:28] I have the G45 [04:28] where would u like to live? [04:28] but similar [04:28] im in san diego [04:28] foxbuntu: any suggestions? [04:29] toorima, maybe San Fran, San Jose that general area [04:29] i opened up the xorg, and it's full of nothing . . . [04:29] blahrus_, yeah, thats the way its handled now [04:29] many of the defaults are inserted from elsewhere on boot [04:29] oh [04:30] you can still edit it and make changes that way [04:30] which do you suggest? [04:30] depends on the issues [04:31] well let me get these updates done [04:31] reboot with the HDMI plugged in [04:31] blahrus_, last I tried the intel driver in 9.04 it had some big issues with the latest cards/chipsets [04:31] foxbuntu: there should be plenty of jobs, try craigslist http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sad/ [04:31] maybe I should just give up for the night :( [04:32] toorima, cool, I will have a look, I already looked through Dice.com which has many many choices for those areas too [04:33] ok bbl, some ppl came over [04:33] blahrus_, the intel patch for the G4x chipset just came out, I mean like 7 days ago maybe [04:33] yea, I knew it would be pushing it getting the board [04:33] blahrus_, yup [04:33] blahrus_, but thats why I bought it too [04:34] foxbuntu: yea :) [04:34] 2.2.4.1-1 is the intel drivers it just downloaded. [04:34] blahrus_, I own www.foxmediasystems.com and I am in the dev stages of creating and all in one ready to use system [04:34] niiice [04:35] so I have my choice boards for nvidia/ati/intel [04:35] Spammer ;) [04:35] hads, I know i know [04:35] I stick my url in allot [04:35] ;) [04:35] maybe once every few weeks [04:35] can mythtv play divx/xvid movies? [04:35] heh [04:36] daande, yes [04:36] daande: Sure, mythvideo is the plugin you want [04:36] foxbuntu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129030 [04:36] rut oh [04:36] is the case I ahve, will that lcd howto you have work for it ;)? [04:36] im looking into building my gf a media center for christmas heh [04:36] blahrus_, ah you found that already huh? [04:36] I just published that recently [04:36] :) [04:37] glad my wiki is showing up in google searches [04:37] blahrus_, I have the black and silver versions [04:37] so I should prolly not be using the devel version? [04:37] only complaint is that the IR sensor is either misplaced or just plain weak [04:37] what type of hardware do you guys suggest the system would need to play dixv/xvid/mp3s/dvds/record tv [04:38] How long is a piece of string? :) [04:38] daande, if your going to do HDTV dual core 2.5Ghz or better and a decent vid card [04:38] what about a tuner card with a built in encoder? [04:39] daande, or you could wait and get a fresh off the line system from this great vendor ;) www.foxmediasystems.com [04:39] lol [04:39] hads, that one was for you [04:39] hah, every few weeks eh :) [04:39] lol [04:39] how much are u charging [04:39] daande, HVR-1600 is a pretty good card [04:40] antec silver is "easier" to setup, I'd say get whichever one is cheaper if you don't really care [04:40] I happen to have a silver [04:40] daande, not sure on final price yet, but prob between 850-1000 [04:40] to much for me im looking to build one for like $500 [04:40] Hi all, I feel that this might be an extraordinarily stupid question but am I to ask my stupid mythbuntu question in here? [04:40] its for my gfs christmas gift [04:41] daande, ah...mine are going to be more top end hardware kind of thing [04:41] pgruett: ask away [04:41] daande: you should be able to build a nice box for that price if you go amdx2 [04:41] indeed [04:41] heck might even be able to squeeze a phenom for that price anymore [04:42] 4850e is a good choice [04:42] I haven't been watching the price of c2d's lately so I can't speak for them [04:42] rhpot1991, tri core maybe [04:42] rhpot1991, E8400 ~130$ I thinks [04:42] they had a phenom for $90 over the last weekend, newegg that is [04:42] I want it to be small [04:42] and nice looking [04:43] thats my delema [04:43] daande, go with the antec case [04:43] daande: fuzion is pretty nice [04:43] I've got a kworld dvd maker PCI I'm trying to encourage to speak to my mythbuntu box but, so far, I'm getting a garbled image. I haven't been able to find any specific support or drivers. [04:43] if you want to go smaller than that then you would need to be getting into separate backend and frontends [04:43] indeed [04:43] thats why i was hoping an atom dual core [04:44] would do the trick [04:44] with a dedicated encoder card [04:44] pgruett, well im not sure, but if you havent done so try installing the w32codecs and libdvdcss2 [04:44] daande: I'd say you'd be pushing it [04:44] i thought so [04:44] ya I dunno that it would cut it [04:44] atom wasn't meant to be a beast [04:44] I did do that, though earlier when I was trying to play DVDs. [04:44] but I thought a dedicated encoder card [04:45] daande: your backend normally does other cpu intensive thigns like commflagging, transcoding, etc [04:45] took all the strain off the cpu [04:45] daande, that doesnt oflload all the proc power needed for MySQL, Commflagging, Transcoding, ect ect [04:45] not to mention HD playback is currently very very cpu intensive [04:45] I am new to this so I dont even know what commflagging and stuff is [04:45] foxbuntu: quit copying my answer :) [04:45] foxbuntu: do you suggest I download the 8.10 version :)? [04:46] blahrus_, yes, my X4500HD works well in 8.10 [04:46] what if HDTV wasnt an issue? [04:46] daande, even still [04:46] Still be slow [04:47] daande: was there a clock speed mentioned anywhere for it? [04:47] much better off to get microATX + AMDx2 4850e or better [04:47] Media centres do like power. [04:47] rhpot1991, I think the clock on those is 1.6 [04:47] also you want a large area for hard drives for your backend [04:47] Yeah [04:48] no thats what pissed me off [04:48] that the ad has no CPU specs [04:48] I hope its not misleading and claiming hyperthreading as dual core [04:48] My diskless FE is a mATX Intel [04:48] my MBE is a mATX [04:48] rhpot1991, no there really is a dual core atom floating around [04:49] foxbuntu: I knew they were coming out, this is the first I've seen them sold [04:49] Only fan is the PSU which makes it barely audible [04:49] no [04:49] its dual core [04:49] I'd venture that a dual core atom could cut SD, I have no proof to back it [04:49] with hyperthreading [04:49] rhpot1991, I just remember it in the partner spam I get from Intel all the time [04:49] so 4 virtual cores [04:49] especially if you can use something like XvMC [04:49] My sound card is not working will this help? http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Or_Kernel_Upgrade [04:49] i htink its 1.6Ghz [04:49] HT isn't a core [04:49] ya HT is faking a core [04:50] I have a Dell XPS 410 [04:50] Not very well either [04:50] hense the word virtual [04:50] http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/320528.pdf [04:50] *shrug* [04:50] problem is you only have pci in that [04:50] Chaorain, I would go ask a question like that in #ubuntu [04:50] so expanding the video will hold you up [04:50] HVR-1600 [04:50] ? [04:50] ok should be the same problem? [04:51] foxbuntu: your suggestion is: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1178-WinTV-HVR-1600-Internal-Recorder/dp/B000MGGTY8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228365828&sr=1-8 [04:51] ? [04:51] blahrus_, yes [04:51] foxbuntu: will have to check that out, currently have a cheap card in there [04:51] might wanna update it [04:51] foxbuntu: you still seeing random garbage in HDHR recordings sometimes? [04:51] blahrus_, I have 3 of those currently [04:52] rhpot1991, nope [04:52] microATX with a AMDx2 [04:52] side node, I would suggest Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 [04:52] blahrus_, as would I [04:52] that's bang for you buck [04:52] blahrus_, just more expensive [04:52] 6mb cache, 1333 buss [04:52] bus* [04:52] I can't figure out why, but I see random garbage in mine, like satellite in a storm garbage [04:52] blahrus_, it blows away AMD in my testing [04:53] rhpot1991, you have a splitter/booster on your cable coming into it? [04:53] and I can't reliably make it happen, so I'm thinking signal [04:53] foxbuntu: yea, it's quite insane of a CPU really, well for spending an extra 50 - 75 bucks [04:53] booster [04:53] rhpot1991, pull the booster out [04:53] http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33181&vpn=BX80571E5200&manufacture=Intel [04:53] thats what fixed mine [04:53] and splitters outside [04:53] or [04:53] http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=34028&vpn=ADV6000DOBOX&manufacture=AMD [04:53] well I added the booster to replace splitters [04:53] cause I was having worse problems, random skips on firewire recordings [04:54] rhpot1991, I replaced my booster with a splitter and whamo, problem solved on the spot [04:54] foxbuntu: looks like I am overscalling on all HDMI [04:54] foxbuntu: its a 5 way split too though [04:54] rhpot1991, well split before the booster then use the HDHR without [04:54] 3 live CDs has done it [04:55] rhpot1991, I have like 3 splitters before my HDHR [04:55] the bios screen has done it as well [04:55] thus the booster [04:55] blahrus_, yea, its common with HDMI [04:55] foxbuntu: I'll have to mess with it, problem is that I don't want to lose my recordings and don't have time otherwise [04:55] couple that with the fact that I can't reproduce it and its a headache [04:55] foxbuntu: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/33-10226 [04:55] thats what I have [04:56] I have a 2nd one to try outside as well if I ever get around to waterproofing the connections [04:56] rhpot1991, it finally annoyed me enough I ate a recording to test it [04:56] havent had an issue since [04:56] I have a ghosting problem as well, so I might have cable issues [04:56] foxbuntu: is there xorg settings to scale it down? [04:57] I just know comcast is gonna point at that and blame everything on it [04:57] blahrus_, it takes allot of messing around with mode lines and such to get rid of it, its specific stuff to your TV [04:57] suck. [04:57] blahrus_, I would check what videos look like on it before going to that trouble [04:57] blahrus_, I use one of my systems with the overscan and dont notice it in TV at all [04:58] foxbuntu: so this a crappy TV issue then? all distro's linux and windows will have this issue? [04:59] blahrus_, its different with different video cards/drivers (and versions)/TVs [04:59] blahrus_, its a crap shoot to get it to not have the overscan [05:00] via HDMI/DVI [05:01] sometimes DVI -> HDMI is better than str8 HDMI [05:01] VGA is always better [05:01] blahrus_, you should be able to get the same res and quality of res from VGA with a good cable [05:02] and not have the overscan [05:02] just make sure to get a 15 pin shielded gold tip cable [05:03] hurm [05:03] might have to go that route [05:03] I should have known better to think I would have this done tonight :) [05:03] blahrus_, there is no such thing as *done* in mythtv [05:03] ;) [05:04] not in a bad way [05:04] wife wont be happy when she sees the media area apart for the next week or too [05:04] two* [05:04] yeah...they never are [05:04] mine forced me to move all my stuff into the basement [05:04] or when they miss their soap opera cause you were up till 4am breaking things the night before [05:05] that too [05:05] thus all my test systems now [05:06] really shocked there are all these overscan issues [05:07] blahrus_, the issue is the video cards not grabbing the TV's EDID data properly over the HDMI/DVI ports [05:07] and its because there is no real industry standard for doing so [05:08] except with VGA [05:08] weird, I guess I just assumed someone like intel would do it right, and figure a way to read them all [05:08] not so much the video card's fault as it is the TV [05:10] is there a known tv copmany that works better than others? [05:10] I have had good luck with Samsung, but thats just me [05:11] hurm [05:11] I have three Samsung TV's [05:11] I guess it's good to know it will do it on windows as well :) [05:11] 50" DLP, 40" LCD, 32" LCD [05:12] yea I have a cheap 32 lcd insignia [05:12] wait not 37 [05:13] ah [05:13] LG but cheaper [05:14] yea [05:14] you might be able to adjust it some on the TV as well [05:16] I assume this issues doesn't happen if the tv has DVI inputs? [05:17] for the record too I've seen a lot of 1080p TVs that don't do 1080 resolution over VGA, samsung is one of the few [05:17] it depends, it still does sometimes with DVI [05:18] rhpot1991, yes, not many will accept 1920x1080 [05:20] have to watch out for that [05:20] anyways...I gtg, catch you later blahrus_ [05:20] foxbuntu: yup yup, thanks for the help [05:20] have a good one [08:09] hello. I just got a mythbuntu system up and running and was hoping somebody could help me fix a few problems I'm having, the worst of which is the lack of audio over HDMI? [09:40] I've setup Mythbuntu, and im trying to run the frontend from XBMC. I keep having problems with SQL, any suggestions? [13:35] hi all i have just installed anew sound card with spdof optical out the card is detected and working from what i can tell but how do i make the optical wor [13:36] k [13:44] Escriba el texto aquí.... [14:15] how is the weeklys comming along for 8.10 [17:18] Ubiquity keeps crashing on me when I try to install Mythbuntu Ibex or Hardy, can anyone help? Ibex itself can install fine, but if I do that, how can I strip it to be just plain mythbuntu, as in take out all the gnome stuff? [17:19] bobbob1016, do you have a log of the crash? [17:19] /var/log/syslog would be quite helpful [17:20]
