| htpc | hello I am looking for help with Imon soundgrpah lcd 0038 (antec fusion black remote, ie the case without the power supply) | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| htpc | if anyone can spare a second and help me I would be grateful | 00:02 |
| htpc | using bunt8.10 | 00:02 |
| rhpot1992 | !antec%black | 00:02 |
| Zinn | If you are having trouble setting up the LCD on the Antec Fusion v2 Black or its other integrated devices, check out this Wiki Article: http://wiki.foxmediasystems.com/index.php/Antec_Fusion_v2_Black_LCD | 00:02 |
| rhpot1992 | htpc: ^ | 00:02 |
| === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 | ||
| htpc | yes | 00:03 |
| htpc | thank you am looking at it now | 00:03 |
| htpc | hopefully I can follow that one | 00:03 |
| htpc | my head is an a spin from all the conflicting how tos | 00:03 |
| htpc | thanks | 00:03 |
| rhpot1991 | lirc can be a bear if you don't know it | 00:04 |
| rhpot1991 | stick with it, normally ends up being a good learning experience | 00:04 |
| htpc | I am afraid I have a different device | 00:04 |
| htpc | not Bus 001 Device 004: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller | 00:04 |
| rhpot1991 | your remote will most likely be different, but the receiver should be the same | 00:04 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not 100% positive though | 00:04 |
| htpc | but $ lsusb | 00:05 |
| htpc | Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub | 00:05 |
| htpc | Bus 003 Device 003: ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. | 00:05 |
| htpc | obviously the hub is irrelevant | 00:05 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd venture that they should work nearly the same, either try it out or search and see if you can find proof otherwise | 00:06 |
| htpc | yes I will try | 00:06 |
| htpc | I am out of better ideas and I am grateful for any help | 00:06 |
| htpc | back in a jiffy | 00:06 |
| htpc | wish me luck | 00:17 |
| htpc | going to reboot | 00:17 |
| htpc | used a specific lircd.conf for the pad controller but lets see if the lcd works | 00:18 |
| htpc | back | 00:33 |
| htpc | and honestly unsure it did anything | 00:33 |
| htpc | how best to test it ? | 00:33 |
| htpc | did another reboot just to check but no luck will have to go on another chase to find the solution | 00:50 |
| NixonClaus | I'm running mythbuntu 8.10 64bit version, should dvd rip work pretty flawlessly out of the box with libdvdcss2 or do I need something else manually installed | 14:38 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Does anyone have experience of configuring volume control for myth 0.21 with pulseaudio and 2 sound-cards (default 7.1, secondary 5.1 - unused) ? I can't figure out to have the remote control all 8 channels of the mixer ( it only controls one at best) ? | 17:10 |
| wjs_ltop | Hello, I had thought that MythTV 0.21 had included the fix for overlapping recordings on the same channel not needing another tuner. | 17:22 |
| wjs_ltop | but, that isn't what I'm seeing happen with my Mythbuntu 8.10 setup. | 17:23 |
| wjs_ltop | Is there something I need to configure for that to work? | 17:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wjs_ltop, I'm not sure thats the case, unless you are thinking about multirec | 17:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | do you have a link or something to what you are talking about? | 17:32 |
| === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop | ||
| wjs_ltop | in doing a search, it does look like multirec is what I need to set up. As well as the global setting to add 5 minutes before, and after scheduled recordings. | 17:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea that would fix the problem, only if you have DVB cards though | 17:40 |
| wjs_ltop | how about HDHomeRun tuners? | 17:43 |
| wjs_ltop | actually the underlying problem is discussed in the scheduling thread on mythtv-dev list. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/195124#195124 | 17:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | AFAIK, those should work as they are digital | 17:43 |
| wjs_ltop | Ok, I'll look at how to configure multirec. Thanks | 17:45 |
| CRXLPY | how do I save a frame individually from a recording? can I select a frame a save as a jpg or something? | 17:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, I want to say there is a screenshot ability in mythfrontend, but you will have to check the mythtv wiki for that | 17:56 |
| wjs_ltop | It looks like, as of Apr/May multirec is not implemented for HDHomeRun | 17:57 |
| CRXLPY | tgm4883_laptop thanks I have been looking for that but so far I just find images of mythtv itself | 17:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wjs_ltop, you can try bugging superm1 about that, I myself don't have a HDHomerun | 18:00 |
| dan2 | what's the difference between the alternate iso and the regular? | 18:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dan2, the alternate ISO doesn't have a graphical installer, it has a text installer | 18:05 |
| dan2 | ok | 18:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it also requires some extra work to setup after you install | 18:05 |
| dan2 | k | 18:05 |
| dan2 | so I'm going to install this on a box in about a week or 2 | 18:05 |
| dan2 | do you recommend the stable release or the dev build? | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stable | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Actually, I recommend 8.04.1 | 18:06 |
| dan2 | k | 18:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but unless you really like to tinker with things, don't install 9.04 yet | 18:06 |
| dan2 | mythbuntu have some sort of magical thing for helping me index all of my movs and dvd vobs? | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mythvideo? | 18:07 |
| dan2 | first time using myth | 18:07 |
| dan2 | so, just wondering | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mythvideo is what you want | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's a plugin | 18:07 |
| dan2 | k | 18:08 |
| CRXLPY | tgm4883_laptop found it, a keybinding is available to save current frame to a PNG | 18:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, nice, which key? | 18:09 |
| CRXLPY | unset by default | 18:09 |
| CRXLPY | I tried ctl+F12 but got no feedbak when I used it so I am searching for the png now. it does not say where it saves it | 18:10 |
| CRXLPY | BTW tgm4883_laptop that keybinding is new as of 0.21 | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, look in ~/.mythtv/ | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that would be a logical place for it to be, and since it's a hidden dir | 18:12 |
| CRXLPY | well it does not have a screenshot dir, nor are there any png's that arent theme cache related. I will try mapping to a different key since f12 can be problematic | 18:16 |
| CRXLPY | same result with ctl+shft+s tgm4883_laptop.... no feedback nothing like searching through half a TB of files by hand :( | 18:25 |
| CRXLPY | it only says it will be a PNG nothing about what the rest of the name will be | 18:26 |
| CRXLPY | nothing in the logs about it taking the action either | 18:29 |
| gcr | can anybody recommend a decent IR keyboard to use with mythbuntu...they seem rather hard to find these days... | 18:36 |
| dan2 | what do you guys recommend that I get to use with my box as a remote control and irda dongle | 18:43 |
| CRXLPY | dan2 a winTV MCE bundle has what you need | 18:47 |
| dan2 | CRXLPY: mythbuntu supports these hauppage thingies? | 18:48 |
| CRXLPY | yes | 18:48 |
| CRXLPY | they are the most recommended choice in fact | 18:49 |
| dan2 | CRXLPY: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116032 ? | 18:49 |
| CRXLPY | hmm, not what I was thinking, but I think some of the usb capture devs work. would need to look in mythtv hdwr compat list to see | 18:51 |
| CRXLPY | I was thinking of the dongle that comes with a pvr150 pci card | 18:52 |
| dan2 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116033 ? | 18:55 |
| dan2 | so all of the video capture cards that do ATSC can store the content it receives over the air right? | 18:58 |
| dan2 | like mpeg2 or h.264 without reencoding | 18:58 |
| CRXLPY | dan2 sure, but you can get a better deal on ebay. you want a card that comes with a usb dongle for IR cuz the xbox dont have pci | 18:59 |
| dan2 | k | 18:59 |
| dan2 | I have PCI slots | 18:59 |
| CRXLPY | you wont used the card, but you need the dongle | 18:59 |
| dan2 | just not extra PCI-X | 18:59 |
| CRXLPY | ok | 18:59 |
| dan2 | I'll use the capture too | 18:59 |
| dan2 | that sounds cool | 18:59 |
| dan2 | wasn't planning on it | 18:59 |
| dan2 | but it's useful | 18:59 |
| dan2 | didn't think it was so cheap | 19:00 |
| CRXLPY | ok, I have never even played a game on an xbox, much less opened the case, | 19:00 |
| CRXLPY | you can get an analog card for a fraction of that | 19:00 |
| dan2 | I don't want an analog card | 19:00 |
| dan2 | analog blows chunks | 19:00 |
| dan2 | I don't even pay for cable here because I can get all the local channels over the air in HD | 19:01 |
| CRXLPY | I almost never watch local | 19:01 |
| CRXLPY | have you looked in the hardware list for mythtv yet dan2? | 19:02 |
| dan2 | ya | 19:02 |
| dan2 | it's there | 19:02 |
| dan2 | I'm covered | 19:02 |
| CRXLPY | there ya go | 19:02 |
| CRXLPY | after picking a card you might want to search for that model in the forums on the mythbuntu site before you buy it | 19:03 |
| CRXLPY | just to make sure it does everything you want and has no surprises | 19:03 |
| CRXLPY | dan2 it is always good to know what others have experienced with it before you try it | 19:04 |
| CRXLPY | also dan2 , since I have not used the xbox ver of mythtv I dont know if there are any special considerations you should be aware of so read twice, the read again :) | 19:07 |
| dan2 | I'm not sure why you think I have an xbox | 19:07 |
| CRXLPY | ooops | 19:07 |
| dan2 | pentium D I'm putting this in | 19:08 |
| CRXLPY | ooops | 19:08 |
| dan2 | my old workstation | 19:08 |
| dan2 | it's got horsepower | 19:08 |
| CRXLPY | I am fighting alergies, I misread your orig post | 19:08 |
| CRXLPY | I dont know why I was thinking you had an xbox either :) | 19:09 |
| rojo | how do I set my default sound card's output in mythbuntu? My sound card has stereo analog out, 5.1 analog out (5 wires), digital coax and optical. I want to set the output to optical but I can't figure out how. | 19:11 |
| rojo | I'd like to make the default sound output optical systemwide, and then just configure myth to use alsa:default | 19:13 |
| rojo | !help | 19:14 |
| Zinn | !help Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi | 19:14 |
| dan2 | rojo: your sound card doesn't send to them all at the same time? | 19:14 |
| rojo | *shrug* it might. I was using Linux Mint x64 based on Hardy, and had installed MythTV. Had sound working. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've had sound since I made the switch to mythbuntu. | 19:17 |
| rojo | there's no speaker icon in the systray. How can I launch the mixer in xfce? | 19:18 |
| dan2 | rojo: there's always alsamixer in the terminal | 19:19 |
| rojo | I'll check it out in a sec. I'm installing flashplugin-nonfree so I can run a video of some sort to keep sound running as a test tone :) | 19:20 |
| CRXLPY | rojo alsamixergui if you need a gui | 19:25 |
| rojo | n/m. I figured it out using alsamixer in terminal. The digital output defaults to muted when installed apparently. | 19:26 |
| CRXLPY | but the cli version alsamixer is preferable | 19:26 |
| rojo | I unmuted it and made sure the center and surrounds were > 0, and I have sound now :) | 19:26 |
| rojo | now to test w/ myth.... | 19:27 |
| CRXLPY | rojo besure to run "alsactl store" now that you have it working | 19:27 |
| CRXLPY | otherwise you will need to do this again when you reboot | 19:27 |
| rojo | CRXLPY: rock on. I never would've figured that out. | 19:27 |
| CRXLPY | I am still trying to figure out how to find the screenshots of the curently viewed frame (I think I have it set up right) | 19:29 |
| rojo | now. Why does the ntsc source on my pcHDTV 5500 suck? It's all staticky and there's no sound, and it hangs for seconds at a time. Assume it's not a signal problem, since it's pretty clear when the coax cable is plugged directly into my tv | 19:30 |
| rojo | I suspect it's because I had to set the NTSC side up as a separate video capture card in myth. I've seen screenshots online of the svn version of myth including an "analog options" section in the DVB card setup. | 19:31 |
| rojo | wonder if it'd work better with svn... | 19:31 |
| rojo | oh btw sound is working smashingly in myth now (: | 19:33 |
| rojo | for qam, anyway | 19:33 |
| CRXLPY | try running the cable through a vcr or something first. I have read of the tuner getting overmodulated and running it through another device first will attenuate it enough. (I mean using simply the coax in and out, not using the tuner in the vcr) | 19:33 |
| rojo | hmmm. Well, I did try putting it on a splitter to weaken the signal 3.5db | 19:34 |
| CRXLPY | ahh | 19:34 |
| rojo | it's on the splitter now. | 19:34 |
| rojo | symptoms are identical before and after. | 19:34 |
| rojo | good idea, though (: | 19:34 |
| rojo | ggp and smoke | 19:35 |
| rojo | I had a thought while I was smoking | 19:48 |
| rojo | I bet that card can only have one tuner active at a time | 19:48 |
| rojo | by default, mythtv backend keeps the digital tuner on | 19:49 |
| CRXLPY | if it has only one encoder chip then it would have to poll the 2 tuners to capture both. that would explain the halting behavior | 19:53 |
| rojo | will that interfere with scheduled recordings though, I wonder, if the dvb source isn't always active? | 19:54 |
| rojo | it's going through its long, arduous mythfilldatabase sequence right now. | 19:54 |
| rojo | wonder when the "analog options" section in the DVB tuner setup in myth backend will make its way into the apt repos? | 19:57 |
| rojo | that was it. NTSC is clear now. No sound, but that's probably not going to be as hard to figure out. | 19:59 |
| rojo | ooo james bond movie is on spike | 20:00 |
| CRXLPY | rojo make sure you have capture set right in alsamixer | 20:01 |
| CRXLPY | it is a 007 marathon today | 20:01 |
| rojo | oh yeah. I'm running an analog cable from my tuner card to the external line-in on my sound card. | 20:02 |
| rojo | good thought. | 20:02 |
| CRXLPY | you wont use that cable | 20:02 |
| CRXLPY | if you record audio through the ext cable, it will be out of sync | 20:03 |
| fpr02 | anyone here who can do something about the broken mirror of the mythbuntu intrepid fixes repository? | 20:03 |
| CRXLPY | that is why line-in needs to be muted | 20:03 |
| rojo | hmmm. It was muted before. It's not muted now. Doesn't really make any difference. I still don't have sound. Does Mythbuntu have a player capable of tuning ntsc without having to go through myth to test with? | 20:14 |
| rojo | xine says no valid channels.conf | 20:17 |
| rojo | hmm. just found the xfce volume control. I'm trying to increase the volume for capture 0 and / or capture 1. the sliders go up for a second, then snap back to 0 | 20:22 |
| CRXLPY | rojo try xawtv | 20:32 |
| CRXLPY | you may need to set the correct device on the command line | 20:34 |
| CRXLPY | for the tunner | 20:34 |
| CRXLPY | rojo is line in set to be the capture source | 20:35 |
| rojo | gotta go for now. I'll screw with it later. I'm just happy I've made some severe progress (: | 20:35 |
| rojo | thanks for the help CRXLPY | 20:35 |
| CRXLPY | np | 20:36 |
| rojo | and merry Christmas! | 20:36 |
| CRXLPY | Happy Saturnal feast to you too | 20:36 |
