mersaultHello, I'm messing around with my mplayer config file, and I'm wondering if there's a way to get it to automatically load the english subtitles in an mkv file only if the audio track isn't english?05:56

primskianybody running mythtv (mythbuntu) in a virtual machine (virtualbox) ? i am getting extremly poor performance on a very decent host and would love some debugging tips.17:55
keithclarkHi there!  I just installed mythbuntu metapackage under ubuntu 8.10 and am having some trouble setting it up.  Anyone available to lend assistance?19:19
jphillip!ask19:22
ZinnPlease don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.19:22
keithclarkOk, I seem to have installed the metapackage correctly, it seems to have detected my ATI TV Wonder card fine but I'm lost from here.  When I start up the front end, and select Watch TV, nothing happens19:25
quentusrex_Is anyone familiar with using firewire with comcast dct-6200 STB?19:59
jphillipdch I believe, motorolla?20:00
quentusrex_yup20:00
jphillipI do 3200's, essentially the same though20:00
quentusrex_typo*20:00
jphillipwhats up with it?20:00
quentusrex_I just tried knoppmyth and kept getting the error 'Can not open card' or something to that effect.20:01
quentusrex_Now I'm trying the 8.10 live enviroment to see if that can handle it.20:01
jphillipIIRC knoppmyth has some firewire issues20:01
quentusrex_I am trying to put together a box with dual input. a pcHDTV 5500 card, and firewire card.20:02
quentusrex_trying to capture 'everything' that can be output to a tv. rather then just the unflagged stuff. Also, I don't have an ir blaster. So the firewire will have to 'flip the channels'.20:02
jphillipas long as your firewire is enabled and they aren't 5cing everything you should have access to the unencrytped channels via firewire20:03
jphillipthis really depends on the area you are in20:03
jphillipthat should work as well, you just need the firewire as a channel changer20:04
quentusrex_Seattle.20:04
jphillipmajoridiot posted a file that can do that in the forums recently20:04
jphillipyour 5500 can't capture HD unless its unencrypted QAM though I don't think20:05
quentusrex_right, but isn't there a way for it to be set to 'channel 3'20:05
quentusrex_and capture anything that a standard hd tv could view?20:05
jphillipya you can capture tha analog output from that20:06
jphillipbut thats SD, not HD20:06
quentusrex_that's fine with me for now.20:06
jphillipso you esentially have your tuner on channel 3 at all ponts, and then use a firewire channel changer script instead of an IR blasting script to change the channels20:06
jphillipI'd make 2 different lineups20:06
jphillipa "works with firewire" one20:06
jphillipso you can capture HD with that20:07
jphillipand a "doesn't work with firewire" one, that captures over the analog cable20:07
jphillipheck that one can include them all, and you can do 2x recording20:07
quentusrex_that's my hope.20:10
quentusrex_:( mythbuntu 8.10 doesn't properly detect my projector...20:17
jphillipquentusrex_ could be your cable or the fact that it doesn't send propper EDID data20:18
jphillipmight have to hack the xorg.conf yourself20:19
quentusrex_mythbuntu 8.04.1 works just fine... I might have installed it with a lcd monitor though...20:20
quentusrex_alright, this time with an lcd monitor...20:20
quentusrex_standard or advanced installation?20:28
quentusrex_fun, fun... now I wait...20:30
quentusrex_jphillip, what kind of setup do you have?20:46
jphillipquentusrex_ 3x firewire stbs, 1 HDHR, pvr150, pvr35020:48
jphillipall over 2 backends20:48
quentusrex_impressive.20:48
quentusrex_Are you able to record channels like hbo etc?20:48
jphillipI don't get HBO20:48
jphillipeven if I did, I doubt I'd be able to20:48
quentusrex_ok20:49
jphillipI get most channels clear through firewire, and generally don't care about the ones that I don't20:49
jphilliphonestly I use my HDHR more than anything else20:50
jphillipI do netflix as well, so movies come from there for me20:50
quentusrex_ok20:53
jphillipquentusrex_ if you want to do hbo you are gonna need a hauppauge pvr121220:53
jphilliprequires mythtv trunk as well20:54
quentusrex_yup.. I've been waiting for trunk to finally release.20:54
Davieyquentusrex_: trunk will always be unstable, by definition </pedantic> :)20:57
quentusrex_Daviey, yeah. I know... :) I'm also waiting for the hardware of the pvr 1212, and the firmware to stabalize.20:58
jphillipyou are waiting for the .22 release essentially20:59
quentusrex_yeah...21:00
quentusrex_hmm... firewire isn't working... :(21:10
quentusrex_jphillip, do you know of a way to test the firewire connection other than 'Watch TV' ?21:12
dennister_hey channel...having a bit of trouble with this installation and running out of time before user comes to pickup pc...can someone please help me get video for the tuner to work? audio works, but sreen is still black21:18
quentusrex_jphillip, do you know what a 'good' box would be if comcast has to replace my STB?22:06
primskihello, i'm trying to run mythbuntu inside virtualbox on a vista host, and am getting very poor performance when watching livetv (iptv, multicast, m3u). is it too ambitious to try and run inside VM ? would running on vanilla mythbuntu installation make a difference? its a decent host, core2duo@2.39mhz with 4gb ram and 8600gts card. any info greatly appreciated.22:10
keithclarkOk, I assume that nobody has experience with my ATI card.  I've waited long for quite some time now.22:12
jphillipquentusrex_ 6200s are good I hear22:12
jphillip3200s I have work22:13
jphillipbut a lot of it depends on your areas, they can completely lock it down in certain areas and it wont matter what kind of box you have22:13
keithclarkDoes the ATI TV Wonder Pro card work with Mythbuntu?  I can find where the ATI TV Wonder and the ATI TV Wonder VE work, but not much on the Pro22:45
JuaniKart2hi22:55
quentusrex_jphillip, I23:03
quentusrex_jphillip, I finally have it working... it turns out comcast locked the STB by default. now, I'm trying to find out how to get the nvidia driver installed...23:04
