[00:12] <quaa> im thinking this is going to work
[00:13] <quaa> had to drop the db and reconfigure mythtv-database
[00:13] <rhpot1991> quaa: yep, cause the trunk db is newer, you don't want that
[00:26] <quaa> thanks for your help so far man! its filling the db now
[00:26] <quaa> so we shall see what is good
[00:33] <quaa> regular SD works off my pvr-150
[00:35] <quaa> now scanning for channels using my HVR-1250. hopefully the slow guide problem is fixed!
[01:18] <costa71> I changed mythbuntu database password and I forgot it how do i reset it please
[01:21] <rhpot1991> !mysql | costa71
[01:22] <Zinn> costa71: If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
[01:22] <rhpot1991> costa71: you can skip the first step if you already know your mysql root password
[01:22] <costa71> yes I know my root password
[01:23] <costa71> but what happened I changed the default mythdatabase password
[01:24] <costa71> next time I started it couldn't connect
[01:24] <MythbuntuGuest15> can someone tell me why tv playback would skip and pause sometimes but not others? is there a way to tell if it is transfer speed between my front and backend or if my backend is too slow or low spec
[01:24] <quaa> rhpot1991: everything is working better than it was before i got into this mess!  even have my recording profile set to High Quality instead of CPU--/slim (what it was before) and everything is going good!
[01:25] <quaa> thank you for your help man!
[01:25] <rhpot1991> quaa: good to hear, no problem
[01:26] <rhpot1991> costa71: where exactly did you change the password at?
[01:27] <quaa> anyways gotta get off of here and study for my cal exam i got tomorrow.  thanks again rhpot1991
[01:28] <quaa> if i have any more problems or questions that i cant figure out myself ill be back!
[01:39] <costa71> rhpot1991, i changed the one in the frontend general
[01:40] <rhpot1991> costa71: why?  did you change it in the database?
[01:41] <costa71> my stupidity sorry
[01:46] <rhpot1991> costa71: why not just change it back?
[01:46] <rhpot1991> the old one should be stored in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:01] <aniiena> has anyone built a htpc recently based off a microatx board?

[03:06] <Joker_-_> anyone here has an idea why mythbuntu couldn't recongnize my DVD burner as a burner? (I can read CDs/DVDs but can't burn anything).
[04:32] <bigguy333> Hi, I just installed mythbuntu and I am trying to get my twinhan 1027 card to work.  I can't seem to get it to detect in the capture cards.
[04:32] <bigguy333> can anyone help?
[04:33] <JairunCaloth> hey guys, I'm looking at tuner cards right now, trying to find a well supported card with dual tuning.
[04:34] <JairunCaloth> any recomendations?
[04:36] <JairunCaloth> also looking for HD support
[04:36] <foxbuntu> JairunCaloth, Dual HD?

[04:37] <bigguy333> !twinhan
[04:37] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about twinhan
[04:37] <JairunCaloth> foxbuntu: yeah preferably
[04:37] <foxbuntu> JairunCaloth, HDHR is a great tuner
[04:37] <foxbuntu> many people including myself and other devs use them
[04:38] <foxbuntu> oops
[04:38] <foxbuntu> thats the HDHomeRun
[04:38] <foxbuntu> JairunCaloth, http://www.silicondust.com/
[04:40] <hads> Is multirec supported with them yet?
[04:40] <foxbuntu> hads, I dont think so
[04:40] <hads> Shame
[04:40] <JairunCaloth> interesting, I hadn't considered an external solution.
[04:40] <foxbuntu> indeed
[04:40] <hads> They are a little darer too but not too bad
[04:41] <hads> Man the mythtv-dev list is whiney lately.
[04:42] <foxbuntu> lol
[04:44] <rhpot1991> I'll second the HDHR
[04:46] <tritium> I'll third the HDHR.  I love it.
[04:46] <JairunCaloth> are most digi cable TV chanels unencrypted?
[04:47] <tritium> JairunCaloth: unfortunately, no
[04:48] <JairunCaloth> :/
[04:49] <JairunCaloth> is there a good way to stream/record encrypted cable channels? prolly have to sit after the cable box I imagine.
[04:50] <tritium> JairunCaloth: HD-PVR, if you're willing to settle for Digital -> Analog (albeit Component Video).
[04:52] <JairunCaloth> cable companies hate us then don't they :-p
[04:52] <foxbuntu> tritium, however support for the HD-PVR is early stages
[04:52] <tritium> foxbuntu: ah, thanks for pointing that out.
[04:53] <tritium> I don't have one, and hadn't checked on the status.
[04:54] <foxbuntu> tritium, its going to have its first release of support with .22 myth as i recall
[04:55] <tritium> Oh, that's fantastic.
[04:56] <rhpot1991> firewire works for some people
[04:56] <foxbuntu> indeed
[05:13] <foxbuntu> well I am off, I have had my fun with this for the night
[05:14] <tritium> Good night, foxbuntu.
[05:14] <foxbuntu> night tgm4883_laptop
[05:14] <foxbuntu> er
[05:14] <foxbuntu> night tritium
[05:19] <JairunCaloth> thanks for the input :)
[05:30] <Dono_> Thought I would check out Mythdora, the new one, using the net-install cd. Well, after only 6-8 hours, it's finally... Mythbuntu's looking pretty sweet as far as installers, lol.
[05:30] <Dono_> (done)
[05:44] <tritium> superm1: may I query you for a brief conversation?
[06:07] <superm1> tritium, what's the question?
[06:07] <superm1> (prefer contentful pings in the future)
[06:14] <tritium> superm1: I'm sorry.  I've lost the train of thought I was on.  It was likely a few different issues (wanted to coordinate some time to work with you on the hdhomerun_config library split-out, just saw your email reply to the patch submission for the remote control, etc.)
[06:15] <superm1> tritium, yeah just make the changes you need for the split out, and prove it's working with your GUI in your local env. when you're ready to submit the gui, submit the changes for the split out as working too
[06:17] <tritium> It might be above my experience, as I can tell it'll need some work to conform to policy regarding soname, etc.  Not sure I'm qualified to do it.
[06:17] <tritium> But I will try, time permitting.  Feature freeze is approaching soon, as I recall.
[06:18] <superm1> well those things are easy enough to fix. the important part is making sure that you can get a set of changes that work for your use case
[06:19] <tritium> OK, thanks.  Also, sorry if I've been subscribing mythtbuntu devs to a few bug reports lately (lirc patches for Fusion 430 lcd, WinTV-HVR-1800 firmware request).  They are mythtv-related, so I felt it was appropriate.
[06:20] <superm1> for the firmware request, you're better off pinging the regular ubuntu kernel guys over email i believe
[06:20] <superm1> other stuff that's fine, hopefully when bugfixing time gets around all that stuff can get caught up
[06:20] <tritium> Oh, really?
[06:20] <tritium> Thanks, I'll try that.
[06:21] <superm1> yeah send a request to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com (you probably need to subscribe to send it)
[06:21] <superm1> indicating what firmware, what it supports, and what the license is
[06:21] <superm1> and they'll pull it into the firmware package then
[06:21] <tritium> Ah, cool.  I appreciate it.
[06:22] <tritium> It's an odd time for mythtv.  None of the recent cards work very well with analog, and you can't buy a PVR-*50 any longer.
[06:22] <tritium> I'm not too happy with my WinTV-HVR-1800 so far.
[06:23] <superm1> hopefully at the same time more providers will be switching their stuff to digital unencrypted then
[06:23] <superm1> you'd think that with the airwaves clearing up from analog signals, the cable co's want to clear their lines too.  that means more digital stations for them if they can
[06:23] <tritium> True.  I tried my DirecTV box (non-HD) with the analog input of that card, and wa squite disappointed.
[06:25] <tritium> superm1: it's late, and I don't want to keep you up.  Have a good night.
[06:25] <superm1> okay night night tritium
[07:26] <BLZ> Hello!  I was wondering, as a matter of interest, if it was possible to configure Boxee to work with a mythtv backend.  I was hoping to set up a Boxee installation in another room and access video, music, and pictures stored on my myth backend over the network.
[09:02] <JoshSalz_> Hello all, Has anyone had any success with mythbuntu and Hauppauge 1600? mythbuntu recognizes the 1600, I set it up but when I click, "watch tv" it goes black for a second and then goes back to the main menu. Anyone know a fix?
[10:56] <grimmyth> Anyone able to get a Hauppauge 1600 or 1250 working in Mythbuntu? Ubuntu doesn't see the 1250 but it sees the 1600. After setting the 1600 up, I go to "watch tv" and I get a brief black screen before it goes back to the menu. channel scans work though.
[13:02] <rhpot1991> !blank% | grimmyth
[13:02] <Zinn> grimmyth: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory.  It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory
[13:02] <rhpot1991> grimmyth: may be a firmware issue as well
[14:20] <bobbob1016> When I try to get mplayer to use pulseaudio, it says no audio, and when I try from terminal, it says "couldn't connect to server".  VLC does work to pulseaudio but I set it to ALSA and set alsa to use pulse, but I wanted mplayer for coreavc, can anyone help me get mplayer working with pulse?
[18:59] <mobas> hallo?
[18:59] <mobas> bin ich hier richtig wenns um n paar fragen zwecks mythtv geht?
[19:02] <rhpot1991> mobas: might have better luck in here if you use english :)
[19:02] <mobas> ah... hello! thank's for a reaktion! :)
[19:03] <mobas> it's my first time in a irc chat :)
[19:05] <mobas> i will try to activate the tvout option under my ati grafic card. this is a radeonhd 3650 with s-video output. i use mythbuntu 8.10. also the last stable version
[19:45] <MythbuntuGuest32> hi
[19:46] <tgm4883> !hi | MythbuntuGuest32
[19:46] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest32: Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[19:46] <MythbuntuGuest32> yes, recently I've installed on my computer Mythbuntu 8.10
[19:46] <MythbuntuGuest32> during capture TV i've noticed that recording on disk is very large
[19:47] <MythbuntuGuest32> 5 min is aprox. 2 GB
[19:47] <MythbuntuGuest32> is there any solution to reduce size of records?
[19:48] <tgm4883> what tuner?
[19:48] <MythbuntuGuest32> i've tried to find any settings but I cannot find it
[19:48] <MythbuntuGuest32> Winfast 2000 XP
[19:48] <tgm4883> thats really odd
[19:49] <tgm4883> 2GB for 5 min is extremely high
[19:49] <tgm4883> so high, that I don't actually think that is possible
[19:49] <MythbuntuGuest32> exactly
[19:49] <MythbuntuGuest32> wait a minute, I will check it again
[20:01] <MythbuntuGuest32> i'm back
[20:01] <MythbuntuGuest32> and i was wrong a little bit
[20:02] <MythbuntuGuest32> 10 min. it is approx. 2 GB
[20:02] <MythbuntuGuest32> 5 min 1GB :)
[20:27] <MythbuntuGuest32> any one have a Winfast 2000 XP TV card?
[20:36] <rhpot1991> that doesn
[20:36] <rhpot1991> 't seem far off
[20:36] <rhpot1991> maybe a little large
[20:36] <aniiena> what would cause my computer to crash
[20:36] <aniiena> whenever I try to run CS:S in a window?
[20:36] <rhpot1991> I see about 4 gb per 30 mins, 8 per hour
[21:32] <Joker_-__> when I click on "scan for games" nothing happens. looks like it's not doing anything. Why?
[21:33] <Joker_-__> I have setup a player with paths and emulator
[21:33] <Joker_-__> but nope, nothing
[22:21] <larstr> is it possible to install a secondary master and then later promote it to primary and remove the old primary?
[23:23] <rhpot1991> larstr: yes, but I believe it involves modifying some sql by hand
[23:24] <rhpot1991> for now it would just be a 2ndary backend (not master)
[23:28] <larstr> rhpot1991: ok. thx
[23:34] <shawnmstout> what capture card would u guys recommend?
[23:36] <rhpot1991> shawnmstout: depends on your needs.  HD, SD?
[23:36] <shawnmstout> hd
[23:36] <shawnmstout> ill give u specs
[23:36] <shawnmstout> Asus M3N78 PRO Motherboard - Socket AM2+, Geforce 8300, ATX, HDMI, SATA, Gbit LAN, Hybrid SLI (A455-2866)
[23:37] <shawnmstout> im going to run hdmi from computer to tv
[23:38] <rhpot1991> for HD a lot of devs here use the HDHR
[23:38] <rhpot1991> http://www.silicondust.com/
[23:39] <shawnmstout> looking
[23:39] <shawnmstout> oh yeah the hdhomerun
[23:39] <rhpot1991> HD is a tricky area, with something like that you can only access over the air clear QAM
[23:39] <rhpot1991> so your locals normally
[23:39] <shawnmstout> i have comcast hd
[23:39] <shawnmstout> just looking to create additional dvr recording space
[23:39] <shawnmstout> i watch too much tv
[23:40] <shawnmstout> conflicts
[23:40] <shawnmstout> heh
[23:42] <rhpot1991> shawnmstout: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels
[23:42] <rhpot1991> you can use that to see what channels you will have access to
[23:42] <rhpot1991> !firewire | shawnmstout
[23:42] <Zinn> shawnmstout: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire
[23:42] <shawnmstout> thanks
[23:42] <rhpot1991> if you don't mind headaches you can give firewire a try
[23:43] <rhpot1991> unfortunately it may be hard for you to access all of your HD channels like you do with your comcast dvr
[23:43] <shawnmstout> im calling them now
[23:43] <rhpot1991> but with something like the HDHR you can move most of your recordings off of your comcast one and just use that for special channels
[23:43] <shawnmstout> to see if i can get a card
[23:43] <rhpot1991> heh, what for?
[23:43] <rhpot1991> cable card?
[23:43] <shawnmstout> yes
[23:43] <rhpot1991> heh, good luck with that
[23:43] <rhpot1991> no support in linux either as far as I am aware of
[23:44] <rhpot1991> I'll give you 95% chance that they wont know what you are talking about
[23:44] <shawnmstout> they do
[23:44] <shawnmstout> im talking to them now
[23:44] <rhpot1991> I have a hard enough time explaining to them why I have 2 cable boxes right next to each other and what firewire is
[23:45] <shawnmstout> no i got a smart one on the phone :)
[23:45] <shawnmstout> heh
[23:46] <rhpot1991> what are you planning on doing with a cablecard
[23:47] <shawnmstout> will give me all the channels
[23:47] <rhpot1991> what are you planning on plugging it into?
[23:48] <shawnmstout> the computer
[23:48] <rhpot1991> did you miss the part where I said there isn't any cable card support in linux?
[23:48] <shawnmstout> oh yeah i did miss that
[23:49] <rhpot1991> heh, thought so.  Went to google to make sure I wasn't missing some awesome breaking news
