[00:11] <dvhart> chiques, what do you mean?
[00:12] <dvhart> doesn't sound familiar
[00:12] <dvhart> what sort of question/message are you seeing?
[00:17] <dvhart> lol, and I thought I was a pedantic arse

[00:17] <dvhart> sorry
[00:47] <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 ...
[00:49] <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
[00:55] <chiques> dvhart, I'll take a screenshot and see if I can get it.
[01:15] <chiques> dvhart, I'll just reformat my whole disk with the Ubuntu 8.10 Mythtv installer.
[02:04] <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?
[02:21] <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/
[02:23] <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
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <MythbuntuGuest14> is there an easy way to check that my db has has been populated? (my sql from the iso)
[03:46] <Aquahallic> evenin' folks
[03:48] <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...
[03:55] <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?
[04:09] <MythbuntuGuest14> !help
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <Yagisan> they refuse to mount when "dirty"
[04:16] <Aquahallic> kewl... lemme give that a whirl
[04:18] <Yagisan> man - I have one hell of a hangover today :D
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <Yagisan> wow - what the hell did I code up last night.

[09:42] <thenetduck> Hi would anyone be able to help me?
[09:43] <thenetduck> as pink floyd would say.... "is there any body out there..."
[09:44] <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
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <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.
[09:47] <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.
[09:48] <thenetduck> ok
[17:16] <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?
[17:21] <PMantis> Hi everyone! Happy new year!
[17:22] <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?
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> PMantis, what do you mean?  mythfilldatabase is run on the backend
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <PMantis> Cool, thanks. Any advantage/disadvantage to just using cron?
[17:28] <tgm4883_laptop> yea, if you do, mythfilldatabase will get jeolous and stab you with a sharpened MCE remote
[17:28] <PMantis> lol
[17:30] <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?
[17:31] <PMantis> Actually, my frontend is not on right now, so I think it's:  uid=999(mythfrontend) gid=999(mythfrontend)
[17:46] <rhpot1991_laptop> tgm4883_laptop: you do dvd isos right?
[17:47] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991_laptop, I used to
[17:48] <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?
[17:49] <tgm4883_laptop> nope, I converted everything to save space.
[17:49] <tgm4883_laptop> I might have a couple left, whats up?
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> get a lot of NVP buffer errors in the backend, so I prob need to enable  verbose logging
[17:53] <rhpot1991_laptop> thinking about killing upnp, seeing if that helps.  If not then I'll try xine and see what that does.
[17:55] <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
[17:58] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya I'm wondering if I am getting upnp garbage clogging my network
[17:59] <rhpot1991_laptop> isos are shared over nfs as well, so I dunno if there is something there I could be looking at
[18:53] <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.
[18:55] <laga> MythbuntuGuest22: have you connected your video source to your tv card in mythtv-setup? "input connections" it's called.
[19:11] <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..
[19:14] <MythbuntuGuest22> is there somewhere I can get help on the input devices?
[19:19] <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.
[19:45] <MythbuntuGuest22> you guys do actually control your channels through myth, not just capture the line signal - right?
[19:56] <tony> hellow everyone
[19:58] <chiques> Hello everyone,
[20:00] <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?
[20:31] <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
[20:38] <MythbuntuGuest50> is there a difference between a "capture card" and a "tv card", if I both use a (e.g.) bt878 chip?
[20:42] <ericrost> any idea why the file types dialog wouldn't save new types?
[20:42] <ericrost> in the video settings menu
[20:43] <MythbuntuGuest50> for that matter - any reason why permissions set in thunar file manager (as root) don't take?
[20:48] <ericrost> wow, some included themes aren't compatible, and it apparently causes that, maybe don't include them?
[20:53] <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
[20:56] <ericrost> it works fine on the default mythbuntu theme
[21:00] <ericrost> filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/312990
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <MythbuntuGuest50> does your card do the actual controlling of your channels- like a receiver would?
[21:12] <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.
[21:17] <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*)
[21:23] <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?
[21:24] <MythbuntuGuest50> err- I mean, version as in source control type of version..
[21:41] <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?
[22:37] <entilzha> oki, g2g for now.
[22:48] <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?
[23:33] <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)
[23:34] <SHADOW__X> how do you use atsc with qam and analog on the  2250
[23:34] <tritium> SHADOW__X: it's got hybrid tuners
[23:36] <SHADOW__X> thats not the question
[23:36] <SHADOW__X> it has one coax input for the tuners
[23:37] <tritium> Then state your question.
[23:38] <SHADOW__X> it doesnt seem like you would beable to use a atsc antenna and cable from the home unless a combiner was used
[23:39] <tritium> Yeah, I think they would both have to be over-the-air sources.
[23:39] <SHADOW__X> yeah
[23:41] <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
[23:44] <tritium> I might go ahead and order one, as I expect it will be supported soon.
[23:45] <SHADOW__X> yeah those seem to be good except that i wish you could use r tuners at once
[23:46] <SHADOW__X> because unless i am mistaken
[23:46] <SHADOW__X> you cant
[23:50] <tgm4883_laptop> what are we talking about?
[23:51] <SHADOW__X> hvr 2250
[23:51] <SHADOW__X> can you use all the tuners at once
[23:52] <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
[23:54] <tritium> I would think you could use two tuners at once, as http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-2250 describes
[23:55] <tritium> tgm4883_laptop: it's not clear that those cards are yet supported.  It was expected to be supported at the end of 2008.
[23:57] <tgm4883_laptop> unfortunatly the hauppauge website seems down, so we can't check for a status update
[23:59] <tritium> And this thread hasn't been updated in a while: http://lists-archives.org/video4linux/24216-hvr2250-hvr2200-saa7164-status.html
