| ArthurD | Hi - Is this the right place to ask about IR BLASTER (on mythtv)? | 12:34 |
| laga | if you're using ubuntu: yes | 12:35 |
| ArthurD | I'm using Ubuntu (8.04). | 12:46 |
| ArthurD | so - How do I set my mythtv to change channel on the digital cable tuner? | 12:46 |
| ArthurD | (i have the IR BLASTER cable) | 12:47 |
| laga | that's a rather generic question. have you tried googling for your STB model do find specific guides? | 12:50 |
| ArthurD | I have. but i don't have a basic knowledge so i don't realy understad what to do | 12:51 |
| ArthurD | understand | 12:51 |
| ArthurD | what is STB? | 12:51 |
| ArthurD | I'm using Hauppauge wintv-pvr-150 | 12:53 |
| ArthurD | digital cable TV - a tuner connected to composite1 | 12:53 |
| ArthurD | and a USB remote receiver for the IR remote control. there is a IR BLASTER cable connected to it. | 12:54 |
| laga | STB means "set top box" | 12:55 |
| ArthurD | Do you mean the tuner box that the cable company provided? | 12:57 |
| laga | yes | 12:58 |
| ArthurD | oh. so there is nothing on the Internet regarding my specific STB..... | 12:59 |
| ArthurD | is there a basic script one should install in order to make the IR Blaster works? | 13:01 |
| laga | i have never used IR blasting. | 13:01 |
| laga | i bet there is a howto somewhere | 13:01 |
| ArthurD | thank you. | 13:02 |
| laga | i'd try to get the blaster working outside mythtv first | 13:03 |
| laga | ie make sure you can change channels from command line | 13:03 |
| ArthurD | How do I change channels with the command line using the IR BLASTER? | 13:34 |
| ArthurD | I can change the analog channels using ivtv-tune | 13:35 |
| ArthurD | but i what to change channels on the STB (the digital tunner) | 13:36 |
| laga | have you set up the ir blaster for use with LIRC? | 13:39 |

| uSlacker | correct. There is a nominal fee for the service | 19:11 |
| rtc443 | ok 20bucks a year isnt that bad | 19:11 |
| rtc443 | thanks | 19:11 |
| uSlacker | right, and if you're just getting started you can pay by the month until your sure you'll keep it | 19:12 |
| rtc443 | ok cool ya i am just getting started, sucks the listings dont come over the cable | 19:13 |
| uSlacker | I'm just starting too. Not sure how it will work out with FIOS. | 19:13 |

| uSlacker | I was able to borrow a capture card and tv out card from a friend. If this works, I plan to pay him or replace them | 19:17 |
| uSlacker | at this point, I have the cards in a MTV installed, but I don't have the time to committ. Waiting for family to leave | 19:19 |
| uSlacker | Love them, so it's bitter sweet! | 19:19 |
| rtc443 | lol yup i myself like peace and quite when i work, yes a little anti-social but thats how it is | 19:20 |
| rtc443 | once everything ships in it will act as a dvr, ssh tunnel, and a desktop comp, not sure wut im going to use for a platform , maybe myth tv something like that | 19:21 |
| rtc443 | well anyway g2g but thanks for ur time and help, hope everything goes great c ya | 19:26 |
| antebe | Im having real difficulties getting my remote for a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1110 to work properly with lirc. Can someone give my some insights? Basically, the remote works regardless of whether I have lirc installed or not (i apt-get install or remove it, respectively). In both cases the remote seems to work like a keyboard, but only some buttons, and not enough buttons for it to be any useful with mythtv. | 21:09 |
| antebe | My installation is a Mythbuntu 8.10 straight installation, and I used the patch mentioned in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914128 (where I entered pretty much the same info as here now). So - anyone have any idea where I should start troubleshoot this? | 21:09 |
| henrik_ | Hello! I have just exchanged my tv for a lcd tv that uses dvi connection. anyone knows what needs to be done to have it changed from svideo to dvi? | 21:22 |
| ArthurD | Hi people. Finally I managed to get a script that can change the channel on the STB (using ir transmitter). The script works fine from terminal. But from some reason I can't make it works from MYTHTV. any idea why? | 22:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Any log info? Is the script executed at all, or not even called? | 22:17 |
| ArthurD | i don't know to look on the log. where can i find it? | 22:18 |
| ArthurD | but I do see that the led is blinking, so my guess is something is working | 22:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | In your script, maybe add some echo "$(date) $@" >> led.log line so the script writes out the args it receives and the date | 22:19 |
| ArthurD | and where can i find the output? | 22:21 |
| gregL | ArthurD: Where i usually mess up is not using the correct format when telling mythtv the path.. Mine is /usr/local/bin/MyBlaster.pl I forgot the leading slash. | 22:21 |
| IntuitiveNipple | where-ever the script is set to - use an absolute path in the stdout redirection such as >>/tmp/led.log | 22:22 |
| ArthurD | I double checked the path. it's ok. I'm trying the log... just a mintue | 22:23 |
| ArthurD | i added the line : | 22:29 |
| ArthurD | echo "$(date) $@" >> /home/(((myname)))/led.log | 22:29 |
| ArthurD | but no file was created | 22:29 |
| gregL | ArthurD: Also make sure you have the permissions set to the proper user.. | 22:29 |
| ArthurD | i gave 777 | 22:29 |
| ArthurD | it should work, right? | 22:29 |
| gregL | That should be ok then.. | 22:29 |
| gregL | The last time i had a problem,it was a typo.. | 22:30 |
| ArthurD | maybe the myth don't send the channel number at all? (but still... i should see the log file, right?) | 22:31 |
| ArthurD | does the script must be on a shared folder? | 22:32 |
| gregL | Can you start the frontend and back end in a terminal.. and use -v some and see what errors are created.. | 22:32 |
| gregL | I put mine in /usr/local/bin | 22:33 |
| ArthurD | there are no errors while running from the terminal | 22:38 |
| gregL | ArthurD: did you set up your schedule.and set your starting channel to a known good channel? | 22:38 |
| ArthurD | the starting channel is ok. | 22:39 |
| ArthurD | what do you mean about the schedule? I have the channels listed, and the next two days programs in the schedule | 22:39 |
| gregL | Program guide | 22:40 |
| ArthurD | so i have | 22:41 |
| ArthurD | OHO! | 22:42 |
| ArthurD | I found the problem | 22:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | let us in on it :) | 22:42 |
| ArthurD | I was sure that the myth transmitting the channel number. but actually it transmit the "freqid" | 22:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ahhh | 22:43 |
| ArthurD | damn | 22:43 |
| Zinn | ArthurD: Please watch your language. | 22:43 |
| ArthurD | oppps | 22:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Can you change it to send the channel number? | 22:44 |
| ArthurD | I dont know. but I will just insert in the freqid field the channel number value | 22:44 |
| gregL | ArthurD: Where are you located? | 22:45 |
| ArthurD | Israel | 22:45 |
| gregL | Oh..It's quite different here in the US.. | 22:46 |
| gregL | Great you figured it out though... | 22:46 |
| ArthurD | :-) thanks anyway people! | 22:47 |
| gregL | np | 22:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Has anyone been trying the native PulseAudio output patches? | 22:48 |
| antebe | has anyone seen my question? No ideas? | 23:16 |
| Kevin` | hey, I just installed mythbuntu, then tried to run the mythtv setup. it fails because there is no database. how do I add one | 23:46 |
