[02:50] hi peoples [02:50] I know this isnt related to mythtv but... who else am I going to ask? [02:50] I'm wondering why it takes 3+ seconds to change the channel on my hdtv connected to analog cable [02:51] the other tvs in the house go fast [03:51] I just tried a fresh install of 8.10, and it all went smoothly, but after the initial reboot grub tells me "no setup signature found" and stops right there [07:54] hi all... coul someone PLEASE help me with lircd?! [07:55] dead in here [07:55] noone here? [07:56] been dead all day [07:57] sudo unetbootin [07:59] d03boy where tofind some help? [08:01] dunno [08:51] hey, having a problem with mytbuntu 8.10 x64. i've used 8.04 since release with no issues. after a fresh install of 8.10 x64 on a new box, i can watch tv but if i try to schedule a recording nothing happens [08:51] it just goes back to the scheduler and dosn't mark the show for recording [08:51] any ideas? [12:34] Hi - Is this the right place to ask about IR BLASTER (on mythtv)? [12:35] if you're using ubuntu: yes [12:46] I'm using Ubuntu (8.04). [12:46] so - How do I set my mythtv to change channel on the digital cable tuner? [12:47] (i have the IR BLASTER cable) [12:50] that's a rather generic question. have you tried googling for your STB model do find specific guides? [12:51] I have. but i don't have a basic knowledge so i don't realy understad what to do [12:51] understand [12:51] what is STB? [12:53] I'm using Hauppauge wintv-pvr-150 [12:53] digital cable TV - a tuner connected to composite1 [12:54] and a USB remote receiver for the IR remote control. there is a IR BLASTER cable connected to it. [12:55] STB means "set top box" [12:57] Do you mean the tuner box that the cable company provided? [12:58] yes [12:59] oh. so there is nothing on the Internet regarding my specific STB..... [13:01] is there a basic script one should install in order to make the IR Blaster works? [13:01] i have never used IR blasting. [13:01] i bet there is a howto somewhere [13:02] thank you. [13:03] i'd try to get the blaster working outside mythtv first [13:03] ie make sure you can change channels from command line [13:34] How do I change channels with the command line using the IR BLASTER? [13:35] I can change the analog channels using ivtv-tune [13:36] but i what to change channels on the STB (the digital tunner) [13:39] have you set up the ir blaster for use with LIRC?

For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi [19:03] hey guys just a quick question, i have everything i need to buy for my pvr/dvr but i was just wondering about the tv schedule(listings) i have heard that u can subscribe for like 5 bucks and that way you can have the tv listings, any1 have info on that. thanks [19:10] rtc443:try schedulesdirect.org [19:10] ok so just to confirm u have to pay for shedule listing, like it doesnt come through the cable [19:11] correct. There is a nominal fee for the service [19:11] ok 20bucks a year isnt that bad [19:11] thanks [19:12] right, and if you're just getting started you can pay by the month until your sure you'll keep it [19:13] ok cool ya i am just getting started, sucks the listings dont come over the cable [19:13] I'm just starting too. Not sure how it will work out with FIOS. [19:14] ya i have optimum online [19:15] well ill have to find out i gues [19:15] enjoy. Good holiday project! [19:15] o yes it is [19:15] just have to get the money first [19:15] i have most of it but still just a little more [19:16] do u have your box set all up [19:17] 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 [19:19] 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] Love them, so it's bitter sweet! [19:20] lol yup i myself like peace and quite when i work, yes a little anti-social but thats how it is [19:21] 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 [19:26] well anyway g2g but thanks for ur time and help, hope everything goes great c ya [21:09] 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] 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? [21:22] 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? [22:16] 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? [22:17] Any log info? Is the script executed at all, or not even called? [22:18] i don't know to look on the log. where can i find it? [22:18] but I do see that the led is blinking, so my guess is something is working [22:19] In your script, maybe add some echo "$(date) $@" >> led.log line so the script writes out the args it receives and the date [22:21] and where can i find the output? [22:21] ArthurD: Where i usually mess up is not using the correct format when telling mythtv the path.. Mine is /usr/local/bin/MyBlaster.pl I forgot the leading slash. [22:22] where-ever the script is set to - use an absolute path in the stdout redirection such as >>/tmp/led.log [22:23] I double checked the path. it's ok. I'm trying the log... just a mintue [22:29] i added the line : [22:29] echo "$(date) $@" >> /home/(((myname)))/led.log [22:29] but no file was created [22:29] ArthurD: Also make sure you have the permissions set to the proper user.. [22:29] i gave 777 [22:29] it should work, right? [22:29] That should be ok then.. [22:30] The last time i had a problem,it was a typo.. [22:31] maybe the myth don't send the channel number at all? (but still... i should see the log file, right?) [22:32] does the script must be on a shared folder? [22:32] Can you start the frontend and back end in a terminal.. and use -v some and see what errors are created.. [22:33] I put mine in /usr/local/bin [22:38] there are no errors while running from the terminal [22:38] ArthurD: did you set up your schedule.and set your starting channel to a known good channel? [22:39] the starting channel is ok. [22:39] what do you mean about the schedule? I have the channels listed, and the next two days programs in the schedule [22:40] Program guide [22:41] so i have [22:42] OHO! [22:42] I found the problem [22:42] let us in on it :) [22:43] I was sure that the myth transmitting the channel number. but actually it transmit the "freqid" [22:43] ahhh [22:43] damn [22:43] ArthurD: Please watch your language. [22:43] oppps [22:44] Can you change it to send the channel number? [22:44] I dont know. but I will just insert in the freqid field the channel number value [22:45] ArthurD: Where are you located? [22:45] Israel [22:46] Oh..It's quite different here in the US.. [22:46] Great you figured it out though... [22:47] :-) thanks anyway people! [22:47] np [22:48] Has anyone been trying the native PulseAudio output patches? [23:16] has anyone seen my question? No ideas? [23:46] hey, I just installed mythbuntu, then tried to run the mythtv setup. it fails because there is no database. how do I add one
