[00:17] <bobbob1016> Any ideas?
[00:44] <captain_> howdy howdy howdy
[00:45] <captain_> got a bt848 card, can't record any sound -- sound comes in through motherboard's CD-In port, is /dev/dsp the right audio device for that?
[01:11] <MythbuntuGuest09> I am a total noob and reading sticky thread 'HOWTO: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 Rev 1 and Rev2 with remote tutorial'.
[01:17] <MythbuntuGuest09> I can use the terminal (very basics though). do i just type like for like in the terminal from sudo -i down to exit for the driver install?
[01:18] <MythbuntuGuest09> I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with mythbuntu 8.10 addin install on top of it.
[01:20] <captain_> using mythbuntu too -- anyone know what the "/dev" string is that I can use in mythbuntu to get cd-sound-in recorded?
[01:23] <MythbuntuGuest09> My last question relate to getting the Rev 2 remote to work.  I dont really understand what to do with all the replies.  Some say it works others mention changes to the code, and again other say even with the code changes that it doesnt work.  What do i do here???
[01:24] <MythbuntuGuest09> Thanks for any assistance.  Chipppy (I dont have IRC on my work Windoze machine)
[02:02] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello, is there a way to assign an image for a directory? Like I've got the Cosmos series, and each episode's cover, but in the Cosmos directory it only shows as a Folder icon.
[02:41] <hads> NineTeen67Comet: Mythvideo plugin?
[02:42] <NineTeen67Comet> Yeah, I've got that installed. I can theme it and all, add dvd covers to the individual videos but the directories are still just themed folder icons ..
[02:44] <hads> Hmm, I did remember something like that but I can find it in the source.
[02:46] <hads> Try putting a folder.png in the directory, that's what I remembered
[02:49] <NineTeen67Comet> I'll give that a try .. thanks .. I think I'll have to do a little more though because I initially put all my images in another image directory than the default (I've got a server just full of pictures, and it's with them).
[03:11] <NineTeen67Comet> It worked, thanks hads .. the folder file shows up inside the directory now too (not as an image, but as a plain file) .. I can live with that =) .. thanks
[03:11] <hads> You can ignore filetypes in the setup somewhere.
[03:12] <NineTeen67Comet> oh yeah, I remember that .. thanks I'll jump in there as soon as my kids are off it (ssh -X ) hasn't been working for me today ..
[03:12] <twitchnln> greetings, has anyone had any luck with hvr-1600?
[04:52] <d0netsFN> hey
[04:53] <d0netsFN> what is different about the volume and sound controls in mythbuntu than ubuntu
[04:53] <d0netsFN> cause i cant get my mic input working
[04:53] <d0netsFN> i always run my 360 sound through my pc mic input
[04:53] <d0netsFN> and mythbuntu is giving me issues in that area
[04:55] <darthanubis> lirc (0.8.4a): Installing module.
[04:55] <darthanubis> ..........(bad exit status: 7)
[04:55] <darthanubis> anyone else seeing this?
[06:51] <Batshua> I'm fighting with my WinTV-HVR-1250.
[06:53] <Batshua> So far, scan on every general ATSC file has rendered NO frequencies.
[06:53] <Batshua> Am I doing something wrong?  Is my card defective?
[07:13] <tritium> Batshua: have you looked at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Adding_Digital_Cable_Channels_(For_ATSC/QAM_Tuner_Cards_--_USA/Canada), and perhaps tried any of that?
[07:14] <Batshua> Lemme load the page and check.
[07:15] <Batshua> wait, what, using scan?
[07:15] <Batshua> Or did you mean something else that I'm missing?
[07:20] <tritium> Batshua: yes, using the command-line utilities
[07:20] <Batshua> yeah, scan?  Not working.  At least, I assume it works but that the card can't find anything.  Or were you suggesting another utility?
[07:21] <Batshua> I'm sorry, I'm having trouble parsing lately, so I'm gonna ask REALLY dumb questions.
[11:28] <lucas2> Hey. I'm looking for a comfortable way to launch firefox on my mythbuntu.  The default applicationmenu in the topleft is too small to be able to use for me.   I'd like to just have a HUGE firefox button on my desktop.  Does anybody know how I could make that happen?
[12:06] <oobe> lucas2, put an icon on you desktop
[12:08] <oobe> lucas2, type this in console cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/Desktop
[12:08] <oobe> that will do it without complications
[12:09] <oobe> "cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/Desktop"
[12:09] <oobe> without quotes
[12:29] <Redhammer_the_O1> hello
[12:30] <oobe> hello
[12:30] <Redhammer_the_O1> I have a question regarding an antec fusion black with mx200 remote, I have my remote working but am not sure how to "generate" shortcuts in mythtv - for instance it has an eject button which IRW shows but I do not understand how I link that into the mythsetup -- it does not get shown as a key
[12:31] <oobe> you need to editing your lircrc file
[12:32] <oobe> you need to get the keybindings that mythtv uses to correspond with the key presses of your remote
[12:35] <oobe> Redhammer_the_O1, i found somthing that may help you http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/getting-imon-0038-lcd-working-with-lirc.html?showComment=1224268440000#c7516921329044146736
[12:36] <Redhammer_the_O1> hi
[12:36] <Redhammer_the_O1> thanks, that is what I used to get it working but I am still not sure how I get some of the odder buttons to work
[12:38] <Redhammer_the_O1> as per that post, when I run IRW and press the responding buttons then I get the right recognition, I just cannot find where to link them to mythtv, as the "keys" part of the setup does not respond to the odder keys on there
[12:40] <Redhammer_the_O1> how do I make the key give the right response? (list here) http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Daily_Use -- do I modify the lirc0.conf and lirc1.conf to spit out other text ?
[12:41] <Redhammer_the_O1> I am probably missing something really daft and easy but I am a bit daft sometimes
[12:41] <oobe> you dont need to modify those files if IRW recognises all keys the only file you need to modify is lircrc
[12:42] <oobe> your lircrc file by default is located somewhere where i cant remember as i prefer to keep mine somewhere else
[12:42] <oobe> but you cant locate it by searhing for lircrc from console "locate lircrc"
[12:43] <Redhammer_the_O1> ok, let me search for that
[12:45] <oobe> you can also try mythbuntu-lirc-generator but your remote is new and it may not support it i would back up your configs first in /etc/lirc and your home directory
[12:46] <Redhammer_the_O1> the lirc-gen is a bit wild it has knocked me off my socks before
[12:46] <Redhammer_the_O1> thanks
[12:46] <Redhammer_the_O1> that has been useful, I will go and try to have some success
[12:48] <oobe> ok Redhammer-afk you can use any remote setup guide as far as getting key bindings to work
[12:48] <oobe> i can send you some example lircrc files that have most things you need not eject though
[12:49] <oobe> all you need to do is change one small part of each key presss
[14:41] <jduggan> hey guys, i can play dvds just fine, but when i try and import one, when i click begin ripping it says no jobs and nothing else to do, am i missing something?
[14:44] <mr_bmh> anyone help me to config the Mythbuntu Control Centre?
[14:45] <mr_bmh> I could not login into database
[15:01] <oobe> jduggan, do you have libdvdcss installed
[15:03] <jduggan> libdvdcss2                                 1.2.9-2medibuntu4#
[15:34] <bobbybin> hi everyone
[15:35] <bobbybin> I am having trouble with the alt install.  For some reason, I can never get the mythtv database setup.  After install I don't even have the mythconverg db.
[15:36] <bobbybin> sorry ... that is the alt install for 8.10 available on the website...
[15:39] <bobbybin> To get one part to work I ended up Grant all on *.* to mythtv@%.... just to be able to login as mythtv...that doesn't quite "feel right" if you know what I mean.
[15:41] <bobbybin> It seems like something is not getting set right in mysql at the install.  Should I retry the install and see if that works?  Any ideas?
[15:45] <gregL_> bobbybin : did you go into synaptic and install the database?
[15:47] <bobbybin> naw...at initial install from the .iso, I picked FE/PrimaryBE...after the install Mysql was running, just no mythconverg db.  I did have to later add my user to mythtv group and delete the mythtv user stuff.  wondering....
[15:54] <d0netsFN> could someone please help me
[15:55] <d0netsFN> i have been trying to get help in here and other channels for over a week with 2 problems in mythbuntu 8.10
[15:55] <d0netsFN> the first problem is my usb media, it shows up in dmesg fine, and in fdisk -l fine
[15:55] <d0netsFN> but it doesnt show up in places or /media/
[15:56] <d0netsFN> i plugged a 1 gb card with a card reader in
[15:56] <d0netsFN> here is the fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/m11bfef67
[15:57] <d0netsFN> here is the dmesg : http://pastebin.com/m69406839
[16:00] <bobbybin> is it in etc/fstab?
[16:00] <bobbybin> are you mounting it?
[16:00] <d0netsFN> i shouldnt have to
[16:00] <bobbybin> sure you do
[16:00] <d0netsFN> in ubuntu it auto mounts and shows up in places and media
[16:01] <d0netsFN> and im running ubuntu desktop and gnome btw
[16:01] <bobbybin> sounds like its not mounting is all...
[16:01] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m4eb04c
[16:01] <d0netsFN> theres my fstab
[16:04] <bobbybin> do you have a picture of a harddrive on your desktop
[16:04] <bobbybin> with its name on it?
[16:05] <d0netsFN> well i have my other drives
[16:05] <d0netsFN> but not this one
[16:05] <d0netsFN> thats what i mean
[16:05] <d0netsFN> i get no icon on the desktop, i get no icon in places, and i get no folder in /media/
[16:05] <d0netsFN> like i would in ubuntu
[16:06] <bobbybin> well that doesnt always work in ubuntu either..... I've seen that behavior with USB thumbdrives before too.
[16:07] <d0netsFN> well its every drive i have tried
[16:07] <d0netsFN> i have a g1
[16:07] <d0netsFN> it does the same thing with the g1 sd card
[16:07] <d0netsFN> and 3 other cards in various card readers
[16:07] <d0netsFN> http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nodrivesu3.png
[16:07] <d0netsFN> just to show you what i mean, my hard drives show up
[16:07] <d0netsFN> and my xp partition
[16:08] <bobbybin> I understand that, are your harddrives usb?
[16:08] <d0netsFN> no
[16:09] <d0netsFN> sata and ide
[16:09] <bobbybin> different interface, different behavior
[16:09] <d0netsFN> im just showing that i get no icon for my usb drive
[16:09] <bobbybin> I know
[16:09] <whoDat> bobby: usb is fast enough for mythtv video files?!
[16:10] <d0netsFN> so any ideas on how to fix
[16:10] <bobbybin> yeah...I have streamed 2 off of usb before.....you do have to be more careful with it though...thats usb2
[16:11] <bobbybin> donetsfn: you could try mounting it yourself
[16:11] <bobbybin> or sometimes with thumbdrives I've had to sudo sync
[16:11] <d0netsFN> right im wanting it to perform like ubuntu
[16:11] <bobbybin> then disconnect
[16:11] <bobbybin> then reconnect...
[16:11] <d0netsFN> i dont want to manually mount everything
[16:12] <whoDat> bobby: nuts
[16:12] <bobbybin> try umounting
[16:12] <bobbybin> after a good sync
[16:13] <whoDat> ubuntu 8.10 really screws with multimedia keys, etc. has been a pain.
[16:13] <bobbybin> disconnect and reconnect...that sometimes helps with usb thumbdrives on my ubunut
[16:13] <d0netsFN> that didnt work
[16:14] <bobbybin> have you ever been able to connect this USB device to your ubuntu automatically?
[16:15] <d0netsFN> yes, ubuntu though
[16:15] <d0netsFN> not mythbuntu
[16:15] <d0netsFN> i have had this problem, and the inability to get my mic input working
[16:15] <d0netsFN> ever since i installed mythbuntu
[16:15] <d0netsFN> (about 4 weeks ago)
[16:16] <d0netsFN> but my gfs father had a heart attack and spend 3 weeks in the hospital, then a close family friend killed himself, so we hhoused the immediate family and catered to the other family and friends while they were dealing with all that
[16:16] <d0netsFN> so im just now getting a chance to get back to my "me stuff"
[16:16] <d0netsFN> spent 3 weeks in the hospital before passing away*
[16:16] <bobbybin> sorry to hear that
[16:19] <bobbybin> I would imagine at that level mythbuntu and ubuntu are the same...although I don't have mine setup quite like yours.  I do know that from time to time my ubuntu desktop box has a similar problem with usb thumbdrives.  I just manually mount it after plug it in.
[16:19] <bobbybin> i guess I am lazy
[16:19] <bobbybin> ;)
[23:48] <MythbuntuGuest25> does anyone know how i can get the tmdb script to work on my mythbox?
[23:48] <MythbuntuGuest25> is there even a tmdb script?
