[00:07] <firefly2442> I have mediacom cable (US) and they seem to be mixing standard def with the newer DTV channels, should I be using us-cable or us-bcast?
[00:10] <tgm4883_laptop> firefly2442, do you have an antenna?
[00:11] <firefly2442> tgm4883_laptop: nope
[00:11] <tgm4883_laptop> then don't use broadcast ;)
[00:11] <tgm4883_laptop> which is what us-bcast stands for
[00:12] <firefly2442> ahh ok, I thought maybe it had something to do with the video format
[00:12] <rhpot1991> anyone recording NBC tonight,  you should run a mythfilldatabase refresh
[00:13] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, what for?
[00:13] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: mine had them as reruns, and the bush goodbye speech is on at 8:15
[00:14] <tgm4883_laptop> let me check mine
[00:14] <rhpot1991> could be mine was just really out of date, but better safe than sorry, check them
[00:14] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: should be a 15 minute rerun of earl, followed by new earl,office,30rock
[00:14] <rhpot1991> superm1: ^^^
[00:15] <firefly2442> so when I scan my DVB pchdtv 3000 card, the signal shows up as fairly strong for QAM 256 but then it times out saying "no signal"
[00:15] <rhpot1991> new ER too
[00:15] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, mine all show up good
[00:16] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: could be from me junking up my automagic db filling
[00:16] <tgm4883_laptop> I don't see a 15 minute earl though
[00:16] <rhpot1991> I noticed it checked  on my 2nd client and turned it off thinking this backend doesn't need to fill the db my master does
[00:16] <rhpot1991> turns out thats systemwide
[00:16] <rhpot1991> so I didn't grab new data for 2 weeks
[00:17] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: at 8 should be the speech then at 8:15 an earl rerun
[00:17] <rhpot1991> no kath and kim (thank god)
[00:17] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[00:17] <tgm4883_laptop> let me check this
[00:18] <tgm4883_laptop> oh
[00:18] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, the president thing is live, it's at 5pm here
[00:18] <rhpot1991> ah you and your silly timezones
[00:18] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[00:19] <rhpot1991> prob just a full 30 min rerun for you then
[00:19] <tgm4883_laptop> yep a rerun
[00:19] <tgm4883_laptop> although SD has the wrong original airdate
[00:20] <tgm4883_laptop> Original Airdate:  1/29/2009
[00:23] <rhpot1991> hmmmmpf still not registered
[00:25] <tgm4883_laptop> !stab ddrescue
[00:25]  * Zinn stabs ddrescue with a rusty spork.
[00:25] <phunyguy> tgm4883_laptop: sorry for the delay, yes I am on Eco Transparent right now.
[00:26] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: whats wrong with gddrescue?
[00:31] <tgm4883_laptop> well the ISO it produced doesn't play the movie
[00:36] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: weird I've only ever hit one movie that didn't work
[00:38] <rhpot1991> ok its just identify password right?
[00:38] <rhpot1991> case shouldn't matter?
[00:40] <rhpot1991> there we go
[00:40] <tgm4883> yay, you fixed Zinn
[00:43] <rhpot1991> no longer friendly bot Zinn :)
[00:45] <tgm4883> heh
[00:45] <tgm4883> nice
[02:03] <strex-wo1k> can anyone lend a hand downgrading nvidia from 173 version, to 169?
[02:18] <tritium> superm1: working on building hdhomerun_config_gui, and running into a few issues.  If you have time, please ping me.
[02:52] <Chaorain> I'm trying to install compiz
[02:52] <Chaorain> It says that Xgl is not found
[02:53] <Chaorain> How can I install this
[02:53] <superm1> tritium, ping i'm here
[02:53] <superm1> tritium, what's the details?
[02:53] <superm1> try to ping me with details in the future in case we dont catch each other
[02:56] <Chaorain> is xgl the same as glx?
[02:56] <mycosys_myth> Hey again guys :) just checked etc/X11/xorg.conf and it is empty :S is this normal on an mythbuntu box? is the setup data elsewhere or something like that?
[02:56] <superm1> no
[02:56] <superm1> dont use xgl Chaorain
[02:56] <superm1> compiz shouldn't depend on Xgl
[02:56] <superm1> thanks rhpot1991. it appears my myth remembered this time
[02:56] <superm1> beats me what happened two weeks ago or last week or what not
[02:57] <tritium> superm1: thanks.  Please see the libintl.h errors here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105403/
[02:57] <Chaorain> Oh I needed sudo compiz
[02:58] <superm1> tritium, hm libintl.h comes from libc6-dev
[02:58] <tritium> yes
[02:59] <superm1> so something is wrong with gettext?
[02:59] <Chaorain> how do I add more workspaces with compiz?
[02:59] <Chaorain> so I can use the desktop cube
[02:59] <tritium> superm1: I'm uncertain.  Perhaps before I get too far with this, I should try building on jaunty.
[03:00] <tritium> Let me see how that goes before I bother you.
[03:00] <superm1> Chaorain, that's offtopic for this room.  #ubuntu, or #ubuntu-bling i think
[03:00] <Chaorain> ok
[03:00] <superm1> tritium, yeah build with jaunty is a better idea
[03:01] <tritium> Sorry for the premature request for help.  As far as build-deps, it only needed libgtk2.0-dev and libglib2.0-dev -- not too bad.
[03:03] <tritium> Thanks, superm1.
[03:04] <superm1> no prob tritium
[03:05] <mycosys_myth> superm1: have seen some howtos etc from you - am on MythBuntu 8.1 - is xorg.conf SUPPOSED to be an empty file all of a sudden, have the details it uses moved elsewhere of something?
[03:05] <superm1> mycosys_myth, it's supposed to be more empty
[03:05] <superm1> more details are autodetected now
[03:06] <mycosys_myth> it was completely empty
[03:06] <superm1> well that's not right
[03:06] <superm1> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will refill it i think
[03:06] <mycosys_myth> sorry to seem noobish - this is my 1st incursion into a debian based box running x *lol*
[03:06] <tgm4883> Alpha 3 released
[03:06] <tritium> Nice.
[03:06] <superm1> mycosys_myth, no problem
[03:07] <tritium> No working nvidia or amd drivers yet?
[03:08] <superm1> not yet
[03:12] <tritium> ah
[03:33] <MythbuntuGuest41> Hi there! I have a half way functional MythBuntu 8.1 Box. After booting up and getting the Mythbuntu logo the screen goes dark. I've tried going into recovery mode to hit ?fix X server" but I still get the same error. Anybody has seen this happen?
[03:41] <MythbuntuGuest41> .
[03:43] <phunyguy>  /
[03:44] <phunyguy> MythbuntuGuest41: you need to check your xorg.conf
[03:44] <MythbuntuGuest41> ok, I'm in root i nthe recovery mode
[03:45] <MythbuntuGuest41> what's the next step if you don't mind?
[03:46] <MythbuntuGuest41> This all happened after enabling VNC in the MCC, next time I booted the machine I lost the image
[03:49] <MythbuntuGuest41> are u still aroung nixon?
[04:08] <MythbuntuGuest41> .
[04:18] <bopferman> Hello, Im trying to change my schedules direct info in mythtv and seem to have lost the setting, can some one point me in the right direction?
[04:22] <bopferman> anyone know where the schedule direct information is held in myth?
[04:22] <tgm4883> bopferman, mythtv-setup
[04:25] <bopferman> I dont see it in there.
[04:26] <tgm4883> bopferman, what are you trying to change?
[04:27] <bopferman> I am trying to change my schedule direct username
[04:27] <bopferman> and I cant find the setting
[04:27] <bopferman> I am running hardy
[04:27] <tgm4883> bopferman, that would be in mythtv-setup under "Video Sources"
[04:30] <bopferman> ahh I see it now! Thanks!
[04:46] <mycosys_myth> hi again guys lol - further to my dramas getting this box running. have tried running mythfrontend from console, channel used has 97% (DVB-T) signal, all i see is a blue screen, get stuttering sound like poor tuning. Have attatched output from mythfrontend http://pastebin.be/16090 anyone got any clues?
[04:48] <mycosys1> oh - if you respnd to above directly - please address it to this machine - other one may be rebooting or something
[05:43] <mycosys1>  hi again guys lol - further to my dramas getting this box running. have tried running mythfrontend from console, channel used has 97% (DVB-T) signal, all i see is a blue screen, get stuttering sound like poor tuning. Have attatched output from mythfrontend http://pastebin.be/16090 anyone got any clues? machine was ok in knopmyth with my analog tuner (jus didnt keep up well) - moved to support the u3100mini easier and have an easie
[06:02] <MythbuntuGuest90> Hi! I've been getting a black screen after booting my Mythbuntu 8.1 box, any ideas as to where to start solving this one?
[06:07] <MythbuntuGuest90> .
[06:13] <MythbuntuGuest90> .
[07:04] <d0netsFN> hey what are the volume control packages for mythbuntu
[07:04] <d0netsFN> can i uninstall them? i cant get my mic in working with them
[08:02] <tritium> https://edge.launchpad.net/screen-profiles looks useful not only for server machines with no graphical desktops, but also for mythbuntu boxes with overscan issues, where it's often hard to see the top panel, and hence easy to miss update-manager notifications, etc.

[12:05] <BlueSteel> hmmm
[12:05] <BlueSteel> does anyone know how I can get mythTV to play internet radio from some streams?
[12:05] <mycosys1> !streaming
[12:05] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about streaming
[12:06] <BlueSteel> these take the form of: http://iiradio.iinet.net.au:8011 etc.. What is the most efficient way to play these in MythTV
[12:07] <BlueSteel> i have DVB-t working as well as viewing avi/mkv, but I would like to be able to play some internet radio with this machine, as this will also not be counted towards my monthly internet quota (I live in australia)
[12:09] <guindous> hello... somebody? i have some issues with my tv capture card, and i would appreciate some help
[12:09] <BlueSteel> hello
[12:09] <BlueSteel> what's the issue?
[12:10] <guindous> hello
[12:11] <guindous> i have a Pinnacle PCTV pro 110i (phillips base hw SAA7134)
[12:12] <guindous> it's well detected by the back end
[12:12] <guindous> but I can't find any channel when I'm scanning
[12:12] <BlueSteel> is it DVB or ATSC?
[12:12] <guindous> i'm from argentina (you would figure out becaus my bad english)
[12:13] <guindous> it's a analogue
[12:13] <BlueSteel> ah, not too sure then
[12:13] <BlueSteel> im new to mythTV myself, haven't done an analogue tuner
[12:14] <guindous> i'm looking for some help with this kind of capturer... but, it's not so easy...
[12:15] <BlueSteel> have you found where to scan for channels?
[12:15] <BlueSteel> it'll be in the backend configuration
[12:16] <guindous> yes, i'm using the right pal-nc system and channel frequency
[12:17] <guindous> but, nothing... it's quit strange
[12:17] <BlueSteel> so no option to scan or it scans but detects nothing?
[12:18] <guindous> scans detects nothing
[12:18] <BlueSteel> not sure, are you using the right driver for it? (V4L?)
[12:18] <guindous> the card was detected flawless
[12:18] <guindous> yes...
[12:18] <BlueSteel> i'm sorry then, not sure what else to check
[12:18] <guindous> :(
[12:19] <guindous> ok... thanks anyway...
[12:20] <BlueSteel> i'll still be watching this channel if someone wants to reply to my internet radio question, any url's etc. thanks
[18:21] <duffrecords> does anyone know what the internal video player for Live TV is in Mythbuntu?  is it mplayer or something else?
[18:21] <duffrecords> the default one, I mean
[18:49] <superm1> duffrecords, it's mythtv itself
[19:36] <duffrecords> superm1: I'm having trouble using XvMC with my NVIDIA card.  if I were to recompile the mythtv player from svn is there one package I would need to build or all the mythtv packages?
[19:37] <superm1> duffrecords, XvMC works with the distro packages
[19:37] <superm1> duffrecords, i've got it working on one of my machines
[19:38] <superm1> duffrecords, but if you still would like to use SVN packages for a different reason, use the ones at http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds .  They were last built last night
[19:38] <superm1> that way you have all of the packaging and organization that goes with them
[19:53] <duffrecords> superm1: I think I'll try that.  because when I use XvMC, it causes mythfrontend to freeze.  I tried using it to play a file with mplayer and it said "the selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec"
[19:53] <superm1> duffrecords, just mythfrontend freezes?
[19:53] <superm1> or the whole system
[19:56] <duffrecords> when I look at processes with the top command, the CPU% of mythfrontend shoots up close to 100% and is unresponsive.  I have to kill it over ssh.
[19:57] <duffrecords> so the system is still useable, just not mythfrontend
[19:57] <superm1> is there a log from mythfrontend.log?
[21:15] <duffrecords> I'm not at home right now, but I retrieved part of the log from yesterday.  I removed a lot of the motion_type messages: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d2bcf4f2c
[21:31] <superm1> duffrecords, so a very damaged mpeg2 file then
[21:31] <superm1> you should try to improve your signal if possible or clean that file before trying the XvMC stuff with it i think
[21:36] <duffrecords> yeah, my signal is generally about 2.4dB.  but it records HD fine.  I can record a HD show and watch it later on a client in the other room with a better video card and processor, but not on the machine that runs the backend
[21:43] <duffrecords> I actually bought an amplified antenna and stuck it in a window facing the general direction of the broadcasting tower but the improvement was marginal
[21:43] <duffrecords> like 0.2dB
[22:02] <superm1> duffrecords, well XvMC is very very finicky about these types of things
[22:02] <superm1> try to do an mpeg2->mpeg2 transcode on the file
[22:02] <superm1> it will clean it up, and seeing if XvMC handles it better
[22:03] <duffrecords> is that something that I need to run in the frontend's menu, or via the terminal?
[22:06] <perilousapricot> when I try to install nvidia-glx-new, apt-get tries to uninstall mythbuntu-desktop and all the xserver-xorg packages
[22:06] <perilousapricot> is that normal?
[22:06] <perilousapricot> s/nvidia-glx-new/nvidia-glx/173
[22:09] <superm1> duffrecords, from the recordings menu
[22:10] <superm1> perilousapricot, i believe 173 isn't supported in 8.10?
[22:10] <superm1> nvidia didn't rev the driver for the new X server /me thinks
[22:10] <perilousapricot> superm1, there's packages for it in jaunty, even. the different nvidia-glx-* drivers support different hardware, I have to have 173 to run my hardware
[22:11] <superm1> perilousapricot, yeah i know there are packages for it, but that's just so the framework is there if there is a rev'd driver released
[22:13] <duffrecords> I seem to remember when upgrading my laptop to 8.10 I had to use a different nvidia package than I did before.  I think they bumped my card down into the legacy category this time around
[22:18] <duffrecords> do you have any nvidia driver installed at the moment?
[22:22] <duffrecords> superm1: regarding the ﻿mpeg2->mpeg2 transcode, are you talking about the post recording options when scheduling?
[22:22] <superm1> duffrecords, you can do it for an existing recording
[22:22] <superm1> hit m on the recording in the menu
[22:22] <superm1> duffrecords, i've got nvidia 180 installed on a few machines and 177 on others
[22:29] <duffrecords> I don't see any transcode options in the menu that pops up
[22:30] <duffrecords> just change group filter/view/password, add to playlist, and help
[22:36] <superm1> its in jobs i think
[22:36] <superm1> try hitting right instead of m maybe
[23:27] <dschie> hi #, i'm new to mythtv. my setup seems ok, i can watch and record live-tv. it looks like planned recordings get recordet, but dont appear in the frontend after this. the file exists an can be played externally.
[23:28] <dschie> the record is still shown in the task list, but the task says something like "done...." (german frontend. text is "Fertig....")
[23:30] <duffrecords> superm1: that was it.  I had to press right and select "job options."  I'll see how the transcoded file plays when I get home tonight.  right now it's 4.4GB
[23:32] <dschie> switched to english frontend. it  says " Job: flag commercials    status: finished (my.."  .... no idea what my..... means...
[23:35] <dschie> ok, i scaled down the fonts. (my... was (mythbox), the name of my box. but still no idea why the recording is not listed in "watch recordings"
[23:46] <dschie> ok, got it. had a group filter in watch recordings active. but why is it still in the job-list?
[23:50] <jontheniceguy> Good {$localtime} to you all! I wonder whether anyone can help explain why my mythbackend keeps stopping on me? I have a machine which was running Ubuntu 8.10. I have a backend machine which has been converted using the mythtv-control-center application, then a front-end dedicated Mythbuntu 8.10 machine. Can you suggest where to start looking? I'm reasonably proficient with the command line, but this keeps eluding 
[23:55] <hads> jontheniceguy: I'd start checking the logs;
[23:55] <hads> !logs
[23:55] <Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/   You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu or via command line to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.
