[00:11] chiques, what do you mean? [00:12] doesn't sound familiar [00:12] what sort of question/message are you seeing? [00:17] lol, and I thought I was a pedantic arse [00:17] Linus just won't Al Viro an essay about proper git commit headers and logs [00:17] awesome [00:17] linus++ [00:17] doh, wrong channel [00:17] sorry [00:47] 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 ... [00:49] insta, imdb-bulk-updater, you can try mythvideo-bulk-updater from the mythbuntu-testing PPA [00:49] whoa [00:49] no way, thanks [00:55] dvhart, I'll take a screenshot and see if I can get it. [01:15] dvhart, I'll just reformat my whole disk with the Ubuntu 8.10 Mythtv installer. [02:04] 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? [02:21] !logs [02:21] 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] The bot isn't here :) [02:21] The logs are in /var/log/mythtv/ [02:23] hads, you asking me to send you the logs? [02:23] I'm suggesting looking through them so you can see what the problem is. [02:23] hads, Oh, OK. I'll check them out [03:44] 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. [03:45] is there an easy way to check that my db has has been populated? (my sql from the iso) [03:46] evenin' folks [03:48] 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... [03:55] 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? [04:09] !help [04:14] Aquahallic, you need to force a fsck on the jfs volume [04:14] Aquahallic, sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot should be sufficent [04:14] hrm [04:14] ok [04:14] <- runs jfs volumes - but not mytyhbuntu [04:15] they refuse to mount when "dirty" [04:16] kewl... lemme give that a whirl [04:18] man - I have one hell of a hangover today :D [04:19] heh... I still have one hr until new yrs...:P [04:19] actually about 40 min. [04:19] lol [04:19] enjoy :D [04:20] wow - what the hell did I code up last night. [04:20] * Yagisan investigates his less than sober coding spree [06:00] !status [06:00] I am alive. === tritium_ is now known as tritium [09:42] Hi would anyone be able to help me? [09:43] as pink floyd would say.... "is there any body out there..." [09:44] !ask [09:44] 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] ok [09:45] I have installed mythubuntu and am trying to connect to my cable via tv tuner but don't know how. I have comcast cable [09:46] this is my capture card: 00:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) [09:46] 00:08.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) [09:46] is there something I am doing wrong? [09:46] That's a software capture card. I don't know anything about them but you should be able to set it up fine. [09:47] hads do I connect from my cable box into my mythbox or do I connect directly from the wall? [09:47] I don't know, we don't have cable here. [09:48] ok [17:16] i keep getting the Database Access Denied with mythweb... i have run through the INSTALL and changed all passwords to match... can anyone help? [17:21] Hi everyone! Happy new year! [17:22] 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? [17:24] PMantis, what do you mean? mythfilldatabase is run on the backend [17:25] I found a thread that suggested this was configured on the frontend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673490 [17:25] configured on the frontend, but run on the backend [17:25] tgm4883_laptop: ...and I know it wasn't updating for me :( [17:25] Ahh, ok [17:26] in the frontend, you are just setting it up in the database [17:26] Does each frontend have to have the selected? [17:26] s/the/that [17:26] no, just set it up on one [17:27] Cool, thanks. Any advantage/disadvantage to just using cron? [17:28] yea, if you do, mythfilldatabase will get jeolous and stab you with a sharpened MCE remote [17:28] lol [17:30] 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? [17:31] Actually, my frontend is not on right now, so I think it's: uid=999(mythfrontend) gid=999(mythfrontend) [17:46] tgm4883_laptop: you do dvd isos right? [17:47] rhpot1991_laptop, I used to [17:48] PMantis, you probably need to look into changing the UID and GID on the frontend [17:48] haven't in a while then? [17:49] nope, I converted everything to save space. [17:49] I might have a couple left, whats up? [17:51] I have an issue where they skip a ton during playback on my 2nd backend/frontend [17:51] yet HD recordings don't do the same, and they should be more intensive [17:52] get a lot of NVP buffer errors in the backend, so I prob need to enable verbose logging [17:53] thinking about killing upnp, seeing if that helps. If not then I'll try xine and see what that does. [17:55] I haven't followed it much, but at one time UPNP was leaky [17:55] I've been working on getting fuppes working in order to stream to my 360 [17:58] ya I'm wondering if I am getting upnp garbage clogging my network [17:59] isos are shared over nfs as well, so I dunno if there is something there I could be looking at [18:53] 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. [18:55] MythbuntuGuest22: have you connected your video source to your tv card in mythtv-setup? "input connections" it's called. [19:11] 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.. [19:14] is there somewhere I can get help on the input devices? [19:19] 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. [19:45] you guys do actually control your channels through myth, not just capture the line signal - right? [19:56] hellow everyone [19:58] Hello everyone, [20:00] 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? [20:31] 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 [20:38] is there a difference between a "capture card" and a "tv card", if I both use a (e.g.) bt878 chip? [20:42] any idea why the file types dialog wouldn't save new types? [20:42] in the video settings menu [20:43] for that matter - any reason why permissions set in thunar file manager (as root) don't take? [20:48] wow, some included themes aren't compatible, and it apparently causes that, maybe don't include them? [20:53] ericrost: oh, neat. it's a bug in the theme? i was getting really mad about that [20:53] please file a bug report at http://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu [20:56] it works fine on the default mythbuntu theme [21:00] filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/312990 [21:01] so is there an actual "best" pci card for myth - preferably not expensive..? [21:01] !zinn best tv card [21:01] Sorry I don't know about zinn best tv card [21:01] !best tv card [21:01] Sorry I don't know about best tv card [21:01] I like my hauppage [21:02] does your card do the actual controlling of your channels- like a receiver would? [21:12] 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. [21:17] 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*) [21:23] what please is the difference between the proprietary nvidia driver "173" and "177" which I am prompted to install? [21:23] are those version numbers? [21:24] err- I mean, version as in source control type of version.. [21:41] 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? [22:37] oki, g2g for now. [22:48] 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? [23:33] 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) [23:34] how do you use atsc with qam and analog on the 2250 [23:34] SHADOW__X: it's got hybrid tuners [23:36] thats not the question [23:36] it has one coax input for the tuners [23:37] Then state your question. [23:38] it doesnt seem like you would beable to use a atsc antenna and cable from the home unless a combiner was used [23:39] Yeah, I think they would both have to be over-the-air sources. [23:39] yeah [23:41] Unless you didn't mind bringing in cable through the S-Video or composite inputs on the PCI bracket. [23:41] right [23:44] I might go ahead and order one, as I expect it will be supported soon. [23:45] yeah those seem to be good except that i wish you could use r tuners at once [23:46] because unless i am mistaken [23:46] you cant [23:50] what are we talking about? [23:51] hvr 2250 [23:51] can you use all the tuners at once [23:52] 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 [23:54] I would think you could use two tuners at once, as http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-2250 describes [23:55] tgm4883_laptop: it's not clear that those cards are yet supported. It was expected to be supported at the end of 2008. [23:57] unfortunatly the hauppauge website seems down, so we can't check for a status update [23:59] And this thread hasn't been updated in a while: http://lists-archives.org/video4linux/24216-hvr2250-hvr2200-saa7164-status.html
