| insta | hey guys ... is there a way to batch the imdb movie poster thingy? i have a directory with roughly 200 movies in it, and i'm really not wanting to grab posters one by one ... | 00:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | insta, imdb-bulk-updater, you can try mythvideo-bulk-updater from the mythbuntu-testing PPA | 00:49 |
| insta | whoa | 00:49 |
| insta | no way, thanks | 00:49 |
| chiques | dvhart, I'll take a screenshot and see if I can get it. | 00:55 |
| chiques | dvhart, I'll just reformat my whole disk with the Ubuntu 8.10 Mythtv installer. | 01:15 |
| chiques | OK, I just installed mythbuntu-8.10-desktop-proper-i386.iso and it runs the front end gui nicely. The problem now is when i select the "Watch TV" option. It simply flashes the screen and stays in the main menu. Is there anything I have to do to get my tv card to work? | 02:04 |
| hads | !logs | 02:21 |
| chiques | mythbuntu-8.10-desktop-proper-i386.iso is cool. I can get itunes trailers, movie times at my local theaters and even see the weather but I can't get my darn tv card to work. | 02:21 |
| hads | The bot isn't here :) | 02:21 |
| hads | The logs are in /var/log/mythtv/ | 02:21 |
| chiques | hads, you asking me to send you the logs? | 02:23 |
| hads | I'm suggesting looking through them so you can see what the problem is. | 02:23 |
| chiques | hads, Oh, OK. I'll check them out | 02:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | hello. I installed the new 8.10, and after working out all the kinks I can using available resources, I still find myself unable to see any tv listings. | 03:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | is there an easy way to check that my db has has been populated? (my sql from the iso) | 03:45 |
| Aquahallic | evenin' folks | 03:46 |
| Aquahallic | had a jfs storage drive on a mythbuntu 8.04 install and had a motherboard fail... so I move the drive into another machine and setup mythbuntu 8.10 and when I try to mount the jfs drive it won't let me... | 03:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | no tv listings, but nothing in my mythtvbackend.log to indicate any kind of failure. is there an other way to check if the db was populated? | 03:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | !help | 04:09 |
| Yagisan | Aquahallic, you need to force a fsck on the jfs volume | 04:14 |
| Yagisan | Aquahallic, sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot should be sufficent | 04:14 |
| Aquahallic | hrm | 04:14 |
| Aquahallic | ok | 04:14 |
| Yagisan | <- runs jfs volumes - but not mytyhbuntu | 04:14 |
| Yagisan | they refuse to mount when "dirty" | 04:15 |
| Aquahallic | kewl... lemme give that a whirl | 04:16 |
| Yagisan | man - I have one hell of a hangover today :D | 04:18 |
| Aquahallic | heh... I still have one hr until new yrs...:P | 04:19 |
| Aquahallic | actually about 40 min. | 04:19 |
| Aquahallic | lol | 04:19 |
| Yagisan | enjoy :D | 04:19 |
| Yagisan | wow - what the hell did I code up last night. | 04:20 |

| thenetduck | Hi would anyone be able to help me? | 09:42 |
| thenetduck | as pink floyd would say.... "is there any body out there..." | 09:43 |
| hads | !ask | 09:44 |
| Zinn | Please 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. | 09:44 |
| thenetduck | ok | 09:44 |
| thenetduck | I have installed mythubuntu and am trying to connect to my cable via tv tuner but don't know how. I have comcast cable | 09:45 |
| thenetduck | this is my capture card: 00:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) | 09:46 |
| thenetduck | 00:08.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) | 09:46 |
| thenetduck | is there something I am doing wrong? | 09:46 |
| hads | That's a software capture card. I don't know anything about them but you should be able to set it up fine. | 09:46 |
| thenetduck | hads do I connect from my cable box into my mythbox or do I connect directly from the wall? | 09:47 |
| hads | I don't know, we don't have cable here. | 09:47 |
| thenetduck | ok | 09:48 |
| ehazlett | i keep getting the Database Access Denied with mythweb... i have run through the INSTALL and changed all passwords to match... can anyone help? | 17:16 |
| PMantis | Hi everyone! Happy new year! | 17:21 |
| PMantis | I'm using Mythbuntu 8.10 on the backend w/o X, and 8.10 on the frontends. Since the frontends are only on when I want to watch something, what should I do to properly schedule mythfilldatabase? | 17:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | PMantis, what do you mean? mythfilldatabase is run on the backend | 17:24 |
| PMantis | I found a thread that suggested this was configured on the frontend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673490 | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | configured on the frontend, but run on the backend | 17:25 |
| PMantis | tgm4883_laptop: ...and I know it wasn't updating for me :( | 17:25 |
| PMantis | Ahh, ok | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in the frontend, you are just setting it up in the database | 17:26 |
| PMantis | Does each frontend have to have the selected? | 17:26 |
| PMantis | s/the/that | 17:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no, just set it up on one | 17:26 |
| PMantis | Cool, thanks. Any advantage/disadvantage to just using cron? | 17:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea, if you do, mythfilldatabase will get jeolous and stab you with a sharpened MCE remote | 17:28 |
| PMantis | lol | 17:28 |
| PMantis | One more question that I can think of right now... On the backend, mythtv is uid=108(mythtv) gid=117(mythtv) ... on my main frontend, uid=999(mythtv) gid=999(mythtv). This of course causes the NFS volumes for media to have the wrong ownership on the frontend, and requires chmod 666. Should this be? | 17:30 |
| PMantis | Actually, my frontend is not on right now, so I think it's: uid=999(mythfrontend) gid=999(mythfrontend) | 17:31 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | tgm4883_laptop: you do dvd isos right? | 17:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rhpot1991_laptop, I used to | 17:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | PMantis, you probably need to look into changing the UID and GID on the frontend | 17:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | haven't in a while then? | 17:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nope, I converted everything to save space. | 17:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I might have a couple left, whats up? | 17:49 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I have an issue where they skip a ton during playback on my 2nd backend/frontend | 17:51 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | yet HD recordings don't do the same, and they should be more intensive | 17:51 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | get a lot of NVP buffer errors in the backend, so I prob need to enable verbose logging | 17:52 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | thinking about killing upnp, seeing if that helps. If not then I'll try xine and see what that does. | 17:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I haven't followed it much, but at one time UPNP was leaky | 17:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I've been working on getting fuppes working in order to stream to my 360 | 17:55 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | ya I'm wondering if I am getting upnp garbage clogging my network | 17:58 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | isos are shared over nfs as well, so I dunno if there is something there I could be looking at | 17:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | hello all. Need an easy way to check if my DB was populated when I did the mythbackendfill - I get no listings and I've tried everything solution I can find online. | 18:53 |
| laga | MythbuntuGuest22: have you connected your video source to your tv card in mythtv-setup? "input connections" it's called. | 18:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | laga: didn't realize it had to be connected during setup. I've a bit of "huh?" going on concerning input devices; got a supported capture card but I don't think it an actual "tv" card.. | 19:11 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | is there somewhere I can get help on the input devices? | 19:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | it's a winfast card with a bt878a and is detected fine but I really see no way it would be able to control the incoming signal for channel change and such. | 19:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | you guys do actually control your channels through myth, not just capture the line signal - right? | 19:45 |
| tony | hellow everyone | 19:56 |
| chiques | Hello everyone, | 19:58 |
| chiques | I can't get the "Watch TV" option to launch using mythbuntu-8.10-desktop-proper-i386.iso. I've checked the front end log but I can't see any errors pertaning to my tv card. I have a Hauppage BT878. My log is on http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m6a9badf5 . Any suggestions? | 20:00 |
| chiques | aaaargh. xawtv works fine (without audio) but mythtv "Watch TV" doesn't launch any television application. It simply flickers and stays on the Mythtv screen | 20:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | is there a difference between a "capture card" and a "tv card", if I both use a (e.g.) bt878 chip? | 20:38 |
| ericrost | any idea why the file types dialog wouldn't save new types? | 20:42 |
| ericrost | in the video settings menu | 20:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | for that matter - any reason why permissions set in thunar file manager (as root) don't take? | 20:43 |
| ericrost | wow, some included themes aren't compatible, and it apparently causes that, maybe don't include them? | 20:48 |
| laga | ericrost: oh, neat. it's a bug in the theme? i was getting really mad about that | 20:53 |
| laga | please file a bug report at http://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu | 20:53 |
| ericrost | it works fine on the default mythbuntu theme | 20:56 |
| ericrost | filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/312990 | 21:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | so is there an actual "best" pci card for myth - preferably not expensive..? | 21:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | !zinn best tv card | 21:01 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about zinn best tv card | 21:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | !best tv card | 21:01 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about best tv card | 21:01 |
| ericrost | I like my hauppage | 21:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | does your card do the actual controlling of your channels- like a receiver would? | 21:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | I am struggling to get 2 800i capture cards functioning with 9.04 b2. The card is detected with what I beleive to be proper driver and firmware. Channel scan is succesful for analog but not digital. Analog works until attempted channel change. Any help troubleshooting this is appreciated. | 21:12 |
| PMantis | I'm having trouble with the Netflix plugin. I can browse and add movies to the queue, but when I try to "View Queue", I seein the log: QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::finished(NewsSite*) to MythFlixQueue::slotNewsRetrieved(NewsSite*) | 21:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | what please is the difference between the proprietary nvidia driver "173" and "177" which I am prompted to install? | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | are those version numbers? | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest50 | err- I mean, version as in source control type of version.. | 21:24 |
| entilzha | Hey guys! I'm planning to construct myself a HTPC. Preferably based on the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. I can't find any recent information on whether this board (and especially the AMD 780G chipset) are supported by Mythbuntu. Any of you have a definitive yes or no on that? | 21:41 |
| entilzha | oki, g2g for now. | 22:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Is there a known issue/config option that causes the Playback OSD to display a channel number that is 1000 less than the actual channel ID? | 22:48 |
| tritium | Any word on the linux support for the Hauppage WinTV-HVR-2250, which was supposed to be supported by the end of 2008? (ref: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-2250) | 23:33 |
| SHADOW__X | how do you use atsc with qam and analog on the 2250 | 23:34 |
| tritium | SHADOW__X: it's got hybrid tuners | 23:34 |
| SHADOW__X | thats not the question | 23:36 |
| SHADOW__X | it has one coax input for the tuners | 23:36 |
| tritium | Then state your question. | 23:37 |
| SHADOW__X | it doesnt seem like you would beable to use a atsc antenna and cable from the home unless a combiner was used | 23:38 |
| tritium | Yeah, I think they would both have to be over-the-air sources. | 23:39 |
| SHADOW__X | yeah | 23:39 |
| tritium | Unless you didn't mind bringing in cable through the S-Video or composite inputs on the PCI bracket. | 23:41 |
| SHADOW__X | right | 23:41 |
| tritium | I might go ahead and order one, as I expect it will be supported soon. | 23:44 |
| SHADOW__X | yeah those seem to be good except that i wish you could use r tuners at once | 23:45 |
| SHADOW__X | because unless i am mistaken | 23:46 |
| SHADOW__X | you cant | 23:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what are we talking about? | 23:50 |
| SHADOW__X | hvr 2250 | 23:51 |
| SHADOW__X | can you use all the tuners at once | 23:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I haven't tested it as I don't have one, but I would guess yes since it has dual tuners and not a hybrid tuner | 23:52 |
| tritium | I would think you could use two tuners at once, as http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-2250 describes | 23:54 |
| tritium | tgm4883_laptop: it's not clear that those cards are yet supported. It was expected to be supported at the end of 2008. | 23:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | unfortunatly the hauppauge website seems down, so we can't check for a status update | 23:57 |
| tritium | And this thread hasn't been updated in a while: http://lists-archives.org/video4linux/24216-hvr2250-hvr2200-saa7164-status.html | 23:59 |
