[02:47] <JEDIDIAH__> use a card made less than 10 years ago.
[02:48] <JEDIDIAH__> the audio should be encoded in the output of the device along with the video.
[02:49] <JEDIDIAH__> like.... cat /dev/video0 > mythtv.mpg
[02:49] <JEDIDIAH__> mplayer mythtv.mpg
[08:53] <henkpoley> I currently have a hanging mythwelcome, is this a proper bugreport :: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6260
[08:53] <henkpoley> Or can I get more info out of the process ?
[09:03] <henkpoley> Now also attached a chunk of the backend log
[09:20] <cann> soo how would one go about if i modified a script and plugin and want to package it and make it accessable to the public ? basicly i made some change to the mythapple trailer script so it supports vdapu and 1080p trailers
[09:20] <cann> ?
[09:22] <cann> on a side note i have no clue how gpl or gnu licens work =/
[09:24] <henkpoley> cann: just read the licence
[09:25] <henkpoley> Also there are nice websites that describe them, when to use
[09:36] <cann> henkpoley: yepp gona do that. i was mainly thinking technical though. its just a small script , should a make packages or should i just make a gz archive. and if packages where to start ? iam newbie when it comes to thinks like that =)
[09:37] <henkpoley> Ah
[09:37] <cann> things *
[09:37] <henkpoley> Well, just "publish" the script
[09:37] <cann> my programing skills equals to a rock so to speak lol
[09:37] <henkpoley> Mail it to the myth mailinglist
[09:37] <cann> alright =)
[09:38] <henkpoley> there are a couple of packaging systems on Linux, knowing all of them is kinda difficult
[09:38] <henkpoley> Let the people who currently package mythtv deal with that
[09:38] <henkpoley> If your script is overall usefull they will include it eventually
[09:40] <henkpoley> Putting it on the forum of your distro (like ubuntuforums.org ) will mean you get useful replies
[09:40] <cann> yeah , iam on deb based systems. so i figure its about time to learn how to build my own. but since its just a small php script it might be over the top to make a ppa with deb packages (or what its alled)
[09:40] <cann> called*
[09:41] <henkpoley> There are al kinds of nasties with scripting, like being able to put in "rm -rf /" in a command you execute. Other people might spot such mistakes.
[09:41] <henkpoley> So just get it out there ;-)
[09:45] <cann> haha yeah. thanks for the info and heads up, ill start with the mailing list. need to clean it up first though. or the code wizards oon there will have the laugh of the centry =)
[10:14] <Dralid> Hey, I need a good analog tuner. I have a HD Homerun for digital tuning, and I got a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 before I learned that it would not work well with MythTV. Any suggestions?
[15:52] <JEDIDIAH__> get a dirt cheap PVR150 from ebay.
[15:52] <JEDIDIAH__> I have thought of getting a couple just as spares.
[16:06] <JEDIDIAH__> the 1600 also seems to work but I have not tried it myself.
[16:07] <JEDIDIAH__> The wiki over at mythtv.org isn't over there just for Brad's personal gratification. '-)
[16:09]  * JEDIDIAH__ wonders what will happen if he goes into the local Best Buy and asks them about their hop-hog stuff...
[16:12] <eddief2> Any opinions on WintTV PVR150 - It seems to produce recording that are "soft", not as sharp as the original.  Is it the card (design) or is it not optimally configured?  Is there a PVR card with recognized better quality - doesn't cost more than a 150?
[17:33] <cva> While importing DVDs, is there a way to change the default quality setting from ISO to Perfect?
[18:05] <MythbuntuGuest78> I am having a problem getting some DVD's to play on mythbuntu 8.10 others work just fine.  The ones that are a proble play on my ubuntu 8.04 with no ploblem.  I have installed libdvdcss through medibintu and ubuntu-restrected-extras

[19:00] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest78: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine
[19:00] <rhpot1991> you can try that
[19:03] <MythbuntuGuest99> I'm looking at building a mythbuntu box around the gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2Hv its on board is a geforce 9400. I was wondering if anyone had any tips? I'd like to be able to do video and audio over HDMI. I knw there is the VDPAU driver out there, but I'm not sure how to install it. Thanks!
[19:06] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest99: you need to run trunk for that, not recommended for users unless they really know what they are doing
[19:26] <MythbuntuGuest99> Is the trunk needed for HDMI? Or because of the 9400? My other choice was the intel GMS 4500, but from what I can find thats even harder to get working. Is support for the 9400 going to increase when 9.04 is released?
[19:27] <rhpot1991> for VDPAU
[19:30] <MythbuntuGuest99> so if I use anything with the 9300/ 9400 chipset I'm going to need to build my own install basically
[19:41] <MythbuntuGuest99> Is it possible to install mythbuntu and add this repository   deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos files/ and get VDPAU to work? would hdmi (video & sound) work with out the vdpau? 1080p isnt high on my list
[20:02] <MythbuntuGuest78> Does anyone have any ideas on my DVD issue.  Some play some dont.  The ones that dont work on ubuntu 8.04 but not on mythbuntu 8.10?
[20:03] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest78: I replied to you already, scroll up
[20:04] <MythbuntuGuest78> I am sorry, I can't see it for some reason.  I see my question, but not the reply.
[20:09] <MythbuntuGuest78> Any chance I can get you to repost it?  Thanks

[20:17] <MythbuntuGuest78> Thanks
[20:17] <MythbuntuGuest99> your welcome
[20:17] <MythbuntuGuest99> you're*
[20:24] <MythbuntuGuest99> Could you tell me what exactly vdpau does? My understanding is it just allows for better HD picture and load balancing to the gpu
[21:31] <NCommander> Are there any mythbuntu developers around? I need to discuss with them the Xubuntu 4.4 -> 4.6 migration.
[21:31] <tgm4883> NCommander, let me see if superm1 is around
[21:32] <NCommander> Well, we need to remove the old MCS system, and your default setting package needs to be tweaked (I suspect your last alpha was fairly trashed because 4.6 was in flux until ealire this week)
[21:33] <tgm4883> could be.  I remember superm1 saying something about that
[21:33] <tgm4883> foxbuntu might know about that
[21:34] <NCommander> Well, mythbuntu-desktop needs a bump upload so we can start removing the cruft from the archive
[21:34] <tgm4883> hmm, it seemed you poked your head in when only I am around
[21:35] <NCommander> bah
[21:36] <tgm4883> so you just need  bump upload of mythbuntu-desktop?
[21:53] <superm1> NCommander, what further changes need to be made?
[21:53] <superm1> NCommander, take a look at the latest mythbuntu-desktop meta
[21:53] <superm1> i've tried to transition what i could
[21:54] <superm1> a sooner heads up would have been nice btw for the 4.4->4.6 migration :)
[21:54] <superm1> completely fsck'ed up our alpha indeed with that timing
[21:56] <NCommander> superm1, sorry about that, we got stuck on the NEW queue, our last two alphas have been similar to coasters
[21:56] <NCommander> A5 looking stablish however.
[21:57] <superm1> would have been better off just sitting in NEW thru the freeze and breaking after a4
[21:57] <superm1> but oh well
[21:58] <superm1> NCommander, so what's wrong with our metas and/or seeds now? and what you are referring to, is it the same case in the latest bzr of the seeds and latest meta in the archive?
[21:58] <NCommander> superm1, I was wrong about that.
[21:59] <NCommander> superm1, well, we uploaded everything before NEW. Yes it was badly handled, I acklodge that, but no one remembered mythbuntu also uses Xfce >.>;
[22:04] <MythbuntuGuest38> If I wanted to use HDMI for video and sound with a geforce 9300 do I need to load VDPAU? I'm not intrested in HD just the connection 720p is fine
[22:19] <henkpoley> Again an odd hang :-/ this time the backend seems be bonkers, frontend chugs along but doesn't show any recordings
[22:20] <rhpot1991> henkpoley: on the recordings page if you hit m a menu comes up and you can change what is displayed there
[22:21] <henkpoley> Thanks, I'll check with mythweb first
[22:21] <henkpoley> But it also takes kinda long
[22:23] <henkpoley> Al mysql tables at least check okay
[22:24] <rhpot1991> henkpoley: if they don't show up in mythweb then its a different issue
[22:25] <henkpoley> Mythweb currently doesn't display anything at all, safari only tells me the server disconnected
[22:25] <henkpoley> But that's probably a different problm
[22:26] <rhpot1991> henkpoley: run sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status
[22:27] <henkpoley> Tells me :: Usage: /etc/init.d/mythbackend {start|stop|restart|force-reload}
[22:27] <henkpoley> Anyways, I stopped the backend when checking the tables
[22:27] <henkpoley> and frontend too
[22:28] <rhpot1991> you need to start the backend back up before accessing mythweb
[22:28] <henkpoley> Ah everything  shows again
[22:29] <henkpoley> in the frontend.
[22:31] <henkpoley> Hmm `links http://localhost/mythweb/` tells me: Error reading from socket
[22:34] <henkpoley> rhpot1991: earlier today (CET) I had a hang, would there be anything I could have improved on this bugreport :: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6260 ?
