[08:51] <MythbuntuGuest55> 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] <MythbuntuGuest55> it just goes back to the scheduler and dosn't mark the show for recording
[08:51] <MythbuntuGuest55> any ideas?
[12:34] <ArthurD> Hi - Is this the right place to ask about IR BLASTER (on mythtv)?
[12:35] <laga> if you're using ubuntu: yes
[12:46] <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?
[12:47] <ArthurD> (i have the IR BLASTER cable)
[12:50] <laga> that's a rather generic question. have you tried googling for your STB model do find specific guides?
[12:51] <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?
[12:53] <ArthurD> I'm using Hauppauge wintv-pvr-150
[12:53] <ArthurD> digital cable TV - a tuner connected to composite1
[12:54] <ArthurD> and a USB remote receiver for the IR remote control. there is a IR BLASTER cable connected to it.
[12:55] <laga> STB means "set top box"
[12:57] <ArthurD> Do you mean the tuner box that the cable company provided?
[12:58] <laga> yes
[12:59] <ArthurD> oh. so there is nothing on the Internet regarding my specific STB.....
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <ArthurD> thank you.
[13:03] <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
[13:34] <ArthurD> How do I change channels with the command line using the IR BLASTER?
[13:35] <ArthurD> I can change the analog channels using ivtv-tune
[13:36] <ArthurD> but i what to change channels on the STB (the digital tunner)
[13:39] <laga> have you set up the ir blaster for use with LIRC?

[19:03] <rtc443> 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] <uSlacker> rtc443:try schedulesdirect.org
[19:10] <rtc443> ok so just to confirm u have to pay for shedule listing, like it doesnt come through the cable
[19:11] <uSlacker> correct.  There is a nominal fee for the service
[19:11] <rtc443> ok 20bucks a year isnt that bad
[19:11] <rtc443> thanks
[19:12] <uSlacker> right, and if you're just getting started you can pay by the month until your sure you'll keep it
[19:13] <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.
[19:14] <rtc443> ya i have optimum online
[19:15] <rtc443> well ill have to find out i gues
[19:15] <uSlacker> enjoy.  Good holiday project!
[19:15] <rtc443> o yes it is
[19:15] <rtc443> just have to get the money first
[19:15] <rtc443> i have most of it but still just a little more
[19:16] <rtc443> do u have your box set all up
[19:17] <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
[19:19] <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!
[19:20] <rtc443> lol yup i myself like peace and quite when i work, yes a little anti-social but thats how it is
[19:21] <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
[19:26] <rtc443> well anyway g2g but thanks for ur time and help, hope everything goes great c ya
[21:09] <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?
[21:22] <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?
[22:16] <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?
[22:17] <IntuitiveNipple> Any log info? Is the script executed at all, or not even called?
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <IntuitiveNipple> In your script, maybe add some echo "$(date) $@" >> led.log line so the script writes out the args it receives and the date
[22:21] <ArthurD> and where can i find the output?
[22:21] <gregL> ArthurD: Where i usually mess up is not using the correct format when telling mythtv the path.. Mine is /usr/local/bin/MyBlaster.pl  I forgot the leading slash.
[22:22] <IntuitiveNipple> where-ever the script is set to - use an absolute path in the stdout redirection such as >>/tmp/led.log
[22:23] <ArthurD> I double checked the path. it's ok. I'm trying the log... just a mintue
[22:29] <ArthurD> i added the line :
[22:29] <ArthurD> echo "$(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..
[22:30] <gregL> The last time i had a problem,it was a typo..
[22:31] <ArthurD> maybe the myth don't send the channel number at all? (but still... i should see the log file, right?)
[22:32] <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..
[22:33] <gregL> I put mine in /usr/local/bin
[22:38] <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?
[22:39] <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
[22:40] <gregL> Program guide
[22:41] <ArthurD> so i have
[22:42] <ArthurD> OHO!
[22:42] <ArthurD> I found the problem
[22:42] <IntuitiveNipple> let us in on it :)
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <gregL> ArthurD: Where are you located?
[22:45] <ArthurD> Israel
[22:46] <gregL> Oh..It's quite different here in the US..
[22:46] <gregL> Great you figured it out though...
[22:47] <ArthurD> :-) thanks anyway people!
[22:47] <gregL> np
[22:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Has anyone been trying the native PulseAudio output patches?
[23:16] <antebe> has anyone seen my question? No ideas?
[23:46] <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
