menopbhey guys...somehow I broke the mythbuntu 8.10 install.  I installed it, added the mysql service from MCC now when I try mysql I get computer.local cannot connect to this mysql db.  Where do I go from here?00:47
menopboh...I also changed the bind address for mysql in the my.conf to the static Ip instead of the dreaded 127.0.0.100:48
menopband restarted the machine...then I tried the mysql -h -u mythtv -p...00:49
sirhc_hello menopb00:53

sirhc_i don't know if it applies to you but there is quite abit about mysql in there...00:55
sirhc_myself... i am trying to get some ideas about a usb ati remote i can't seem to get working.00:56
menopbooooo...not cool...just got in as root for mysql and learned that the mythconverg db was not even made... that could be the problem...or one of them :)01:06
menopbokay...fixed that problem with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database  now on to the next step...if I can find a hint as to what it is... :)01:12
sirhc_wish i could help.. you're over my head. i am waiting to get all my hardware working before i try myth again. i didn't have much luck with mythbuntu.01:15
menopbwoohoo...got the backend up and going....sweet...we are on the move now... ;)01:18
menopbfixed it with mythtv backend setup from the System menu01:19
menopbon to the FE...I hope01:19
menopbthat was easy...it just worked....now...on to lirc... everyone's favorite app01:21
sirhc_good luck.. that is where i am stuck.01:25
menopbanyone know the driver for the IRblaster for lirc...or where to find it.  I am using MCC and I can get all but the driver....thanks01:38
menopbI have a serial IRblaster and a logitech remote that thinks it is a hauppauge remote.  I have in MCC Enable Remote; Remote: custom; Driver: blank; Modules: lirc_dev lirc_serial; Configuration: ***.hauppage; Device: /dev/lirc001:48

OnEdgehey all, i have a question about mythbuntu 8.10 and my hard drive setup!02:23
OnEdgei have an 80GB hard drive for OS, then I have 3 400GB SATA hard drives for DATA, how should I configure them in MythBuntu?02:24
menopbokay...well I now know that the driver is not uirt2 unless I have the modules wrong02:34
sirhc_let partitioner set it up.. it should make one big partition for all four 400G's and the 80 for os and swap... i think02:35
sirhc_... 3 400G's02:36
OnEdgewhat version of mythtv comes with mythbuntu 8.10?02:36
OnEdgei dont see the version in the release notes02:37
OnEdgei would like to upgrade to the lates 0.21 if i have to02:38
sirhc_i think its .2002:39
OnEdgeis it easy to upgrade?02:39
sirhc_if i can get everything working in ubuntu 8.10 i am just going to get .21 as an add app.. thats my plan anyway..02:40
sirhc_mythbuntu = 0.20.2 --- http://www.mythbuntu.org/node/3002:42
OnEdgecool02:44
sirhc_menopb: any luck with that remote?02:51
menopbnot yet...still guessing   ;)02:52
sirhc_did you try gnome-lirc-properties?02:53
sirhc_give me the details on your device .. i have g-l-p installed .. i will see if they are listed02:55
sirhc_for ir receiver it lists a "generic" "serial port receiver" "/dev/ttyS0" "16550A-compatible COM port"03:02
sirhc_for remote it has a "logitech" "value infared remote control"03:03
menopbI have run the MCC config for Lirc several times....if I run lircd from terminal, I get: config file contains no valid remote control definition03:13
AnnonyMouseHi guys03:20
AnnonyMousebought new machine, installed ubuntu, connected to my LCD TV03:20
AnnonyMouseVideo is an ATI Saphire Radeon 256 with VGA, DVI & HDMI interfaces03:21
AnnonyMouseTV is a Sony Bravia03:21
AnnonyMouseusing propietary drivers (courtesy of EnvyNG). Connected with HDMI cable & all looks good (even got the audio to work OK too!)03:22
AnnonyMouseMy Bravia has an HDMI ("sync") remote control freature, to stop, pause, play, fwd & rew media03:23
AnnonyMouseany idea hot to pick up this interactions?03:23
AnnonyMousemay wave to make use of some sort if IRDA drive (i'm guessing)03:24
noinipAnyone have any experience getting the air2pc v1 cards to work?  I downloaded the fw and placed it in /lib/firmware but the backend setup still does not seem to detect it.03:26
AnnonyMousenope, sry03:26
sirhc_so mouse, to understand, you are trying to control ubuntu with your tv through the hdmi?03:39
AnnonyMousesirhc_ :  that's correct04:18
AnnonyMousereading up a bit, & it may be as simple as the graphics card not being capable, but I see that the DHMI spec calls for HDMI devices to be "wired up", even if it's not implemented04:19
AnnonyMousehttp://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/glossary.aspx#2704:20
AnnonyMousehttp://www.cepro.com/article/inside_hdmi_cec_the_little_known_control_feature/04:21
sirhc_hmmm .. very interesting. first i have heard of that.04:22
AnnonyMouseI wouldnt've know if it if my tv's remote didn't have the buttons04:23
AnnonyMousewas a case of: hmmmmm, interresting. how can I hack this?04:23
superm1kees, world of goo is really neat.  i'd actually consider buying this, but i'm not sure if i'd want the wii or linux version04:24
sirhc_lol.. hey, do you have any lirc exp?04:24
AnnonyMousesirhc_ : not rly. got my macbook hacked to ubuntu to work with it's IR RC04:25
AnnonyMousemore luck than anything else04:25
sirhc_i am trying to get this ati usb remote with x10 rf receiver working. i read where many have done it but i can't for the life of me duplicate their results.04:27
sirhc_i know it has to be something simple and stupid i am missing or messing up... just can't put my finger on it.04:27
AnnonyMouseu can read IR bursts under ur proc or dev sub-dirs04:27
AnnonyMousenot sure how this maps 2 lirc04:28
AnnonyMousepoke the buys @ the lirc forum04:29
keessuperm1: it's so addictive! wii one is $15; not sure the linux price. though with the linux one you can share with a wider leaderboard i think04:50
MythbuntuGuest58Using 8.10 "I" and when I go to Media Library, Play online streams and select a movie trailer, the window opens up and I usually see a "green" dialog box and then that window goes black and I hear sound. If I hit cancel and go right back the video starts and it works. Next time I go through the same sequence. I have to hit go twice to see the video. Any thoughts?04:54
SharkonwheelsQ: Got a super-OLD Hauppauge WinTV (#61201) PCI card. Will it work? bt878 based... MythTV keeps freezing on card access (schedule start, "watch TV" function, etc..)04:56
Sharkonwheelscorrection, entire system freezes, not just Myth04:56
MythbuntuGuest58I am running the HV-1600 and so far it works with the new "firmware" downloaded. You might have to update your firmware for that card.04:57
MythbuntuGuest58Make that HVR-1600.04:57
SharkonwheelsThis card has got to be at least 8-10 years old. These things were $250-300 back in the day. In Myth setup, doing a channel scan doesn't freeze it, but reports "no signal" on all channels.04:58
SharkonwheelsGot half a mind to pop it in a nearby XP box I have, and make dead sure board is good :)04:58
MythbuntuGuest58I just got the HVr-1600 for $70. You might consider that one.04:59
Sharkonwheelsmight pop by Circuit City tomorrow and see if the "liquidation" had dropped prices on the cards yet.05:01
SharkonwheelsI dunno how much I wanna fuss with a 10-yo card :)05:01
MythbuntuGuest58I got mine at CC on liquidation too.05:02
SharkonwheelsI wanted to test myth on hardware I had (MSI K7N2Delta-ILSR board, Athlon XP3200+, 512MB, dual 80G SATAs, Radeon 9550XL,)05:02
MythbuntuGuest58Does it use cx18 module or another one?05:02
Sharkonwheelsmine? mine's a straight bt878 board05:02
MythbuntuGuest58Are you runnin linux or windows?05:03
SharkonwheelsMythbuntu 8.1005:03
Sharkonwheelsjust d/l last night :)05:03
MythbuntuGuest58Linux version, right?05:03
Sharkonwheelsyep05:03
tgm4883Is there a windows version of Mythbuntu?05:03
MythbuntuGuest58look at dmesg to see what driver is loaded, or use lsmod05:03
Sharkonwheelsuses the bt878 driver - saw that in dmesg05:04
MythbuntuGuest58issue dmesg | grep bt878 and make sure it says "initialized"05:04
Sharkonwheelspowered it down to pop the card into a fresh XP box - already downloaded the XP driver+sw05:04
Sharkonwheelslemme check - haven't yanked it yet...brb05:04
AnnonyMouse1tgm4883 : think there's a windows-based client for the myth backend05:05
AnnonyMouse1if ur desperte, u can run it inside a VM, or as a livecd05:06
SharkonwheelsI don't see "initialized" but I see "registered device video0" then "registered device vbi0"05:11
Sharkonwheelslsmod shows a bunch of mods related to the bttv/bt878 devices05:11
Sharkonwheelsit identifies the card, version, capabilities, registers video0, bttv0, etc.. MythTV recognizes /dev/video0 exists, and that it's the television portion05:12
Sharkonwheels(as well as the other ports - 2-composite, 1 S-Video)05:13
SharkonwheelsI'm shocked this box even works - A-XP 2500+ (1800mHz) overclocked to about 2400mHz since 2003 :)05:13
MythbuntuGuest58Do you see a positive "initialized" to indicate the card has loaded properly?05:16
MythbuntuGuest58I think it has to "initialize", at least the instructions for my card says it has to show "initialized" or it doesn't work. I can confirm that this is the case.05:17
SharkonwheelsI grep'd for "initialize" and it wasn't there for the bt878/bttv. just said "registered device video0"05:18
MythbuntuGuest58I could see /dev/video0 too but until I loaded updated drivers the card didn't work right. I locked up at least once with the older driver.05:19
Sharkonwheelsmaybe it's a diff between the 2 drivers? yours uses the cx* driver, correct?05:19
MythbuntuGuest58I also confirmed that even though 8.10 "I" was supposed to have HVR-1600 drivers included, it didn't work.05:19
Sharkonwheelslooking through dmesg, it APPEARS that the AGP card and the WinTV are both using INT-A. mebbe I need to manually switch the interrupts ?05:20
MythbuntuGuest58Yes, that could cause a problem for certain.05:21
Sharkonwheelsbios shows PCI slots 1/4 sharing, 2/5 sharing, and 3 solo, so lemme move it to slot 3 :)05:22
MythbuntuGuest58The HVR-1600 uses cx18 modules and I did have to update them.05:32
Sharkonwheelssame diff - high IRQ's, so no diff - 19 for the video, 17 for the WinTV.05:33
Sharkonwheelsgot about 1-1.5 seconds of video going to "Watch TV" on MythTV front-end, and then entire machine froze05:34
SharkonwheelsOSD shows "WinTV TVi" which is what I named the television input of /dev/video0 in MythTV Setup, so the card is "sorta' working"05:34
Sharkonwheelswondering what's making it freeze? Mebbe I'll try standard clocking, no OC, although I've NEVER had a problem in what, 6 years? who knows...05:35
MythbuntuGuest58what did you use for your capture card settings? analog or digital?05:36
Sharkonwheelswait a sec - video froze, machine is *NOT* frozen!05:36
SharkonwheelsGot no remote - you know kb commands off-hand? channel up/down?05:36
Sharkonwheelsanalog05:36
MythbuntuGuest58arrow up/down05:36
Sharkonwheelsd/ling pdf manual now - that was a SERIOUS rtfm question, sorry :)05:37
MythbuntuGuest58did you use mpeg2 or v4l settings?05:39
MythbuntuGuest58I don't know your card well enough to know if it uses mpeg or v4l, but if it is v4l you will need to update the driver.05:40
Sharkonwheelsv4l05:44
Sharkonwheelsanalog05:44
MythbuntuGuest58did you use the wget command to get new v4l drivers?05:45
Sharkonwheelshas v2 flavor, though - still gotta update it? Was gonna check the BIOS to make sure the PCI clock wasn't getting upped by the OC05:45
Sharkonwheelsnope - that like a mandatory must-do? even on 8.10?05:46
Sharkonwheelsv4l update, I mean05:46
MythbuntuGuest58You need to search for something similar to this.05:46
MythbuntuGuest58 wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz05:46
MythbuntuGuest58tar -xzvf cx18-firmware.tar.gz05:46
MythbuntuGuest58sudo cp cx18-firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware/$KERNEL_VERSION/05:46
MythbuntuGuest58oops. wait that is the driver.05:46
MythbuntuGuest58sudo apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-$KERNEL_VERSION build-essential05:47
MythbuntuGuest58hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb05:48
MythbuntuGuest58that is two separate commands.05:48
MythbuntuGuest58Then compile and install:05:48
MythbuntuGuest58cd v4l-dvb05:48
MythbuntuGuest58make05:49
MythbuntuGuest58sudo make install05:49
MythbuntuGuest58sudo make unload05:49
MythbuntuGuest58sudo modprobe cx1805:49
MythbuntuGuest58change the modprobe to your module05:49
MythbuntuGuest58then reboot05:49
MythbuntuGuest58This link might help (it is for my card but similar for you)05:50
MythbuntuGuest58http://mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600#Issues_and_Problems05:50
Sharkonwheelslemme connect here on that box...brb...05:51
SharkonwheelsOK - back...05:55
SharkonwheelsI see you're using the CX driver, and ivtv, but mine doesn't use that...05:55
Sharkonwheelslooks like V4L is in the kernel05:57
MythbuntuGuest58It is but appears to need updated. My card wouldn't work until I updated both the v4l driver and the modules for my hardware.06:00
MythbuntuGuest58Did you find an article specific to your card anywhere?06:01
Sharkonwheelshmm...lemme google for bttv and v4l06:01
SharkonwheelsQ: Ya think it's *necessary* I run the AMd driver, and not the open-source one? instructions made it sound like it was needed, to get the TV-Out from the Radeon 9550XL06:07
Sharkonwheelsit looks like now it can tune, but can't stick - vid freezes, sometimes freezes, then goes, then freezes..06:07
MythbuntuGuest58I didn't get any hits on Google that looked promising.06:08
Sharkonwheelsone more thing I'm gonna check...06:10
wyrdvansHas anyone managed to get the remote working on the DVICO Fusion7 HDTV Dual Express?06:10
MythbuntuGuest58Found this:06:12
MythbuntuGuest58Tuners: Hauppauge WinTV (using bt878, bttv, and tuner linux modules)06:12
MythbuntuGuest58Performance:Using a standard Mythbuntu install I have been able to watch tv using xawtv with no recompiling of kernel modules. It just worked out of the box!!! I have gotten MythTV to play TV using the V4L Capture Card and not the MPEG2 as it says in the manual.06:13
Sharkonwheelsmine can' use mpeg2, as it has none - it is like 8-10yo!06:13
MythbuntuGuest58He didn't say which version of Mythbuntu he ran.06:13
Sharkonwheelsnewer ones I'm sure have the mpeg2 encoders, and while you COULD use them straight w/out mpeg2, that would waste CPU cycles, and slow it down for nothing!06:14
MythbuntuGuest58Agree. Mine doesn't seem to put any strain on the CPU. I'm actually running it on a 1G box.06:15
Sharkonwheelstried making sure the freq was set to cable, and not OTA, bu made no diff - still freezing video06:15
Sharkonwheelshey, at least the whole danged machine isn't freezing anymore!06:15
Sharkonwheelsgonna check the PCI bus speed in the BIOS - ogtta reboot - brb06:15
Sharkonwheelsbtw, thanks for the assist - you've been MOST gracious, even witht he easy RTFM q's !06:15
MythbuntuGuest58Still sounds like the drivers aren't fully loaded. Myth isn't able to talk to the hardware.06:15
MythbuntuGuest58I'm new to this but having fun again.06:16
Sharkonwheelsit can, sorta' - it can tune a channel, but the video pops in-and-out. could be the board's a POS - it's 10yo ! ben in the garage for like 3-4 years06:16
Sharkonwheelsbrb06:16
MythbuntuGuest58Time for a cheap replacement. Ie, CC close out special.06:17
SharkonwheelsHeh - this will throw you for a loop:06:45
SharkonwheelsI can RECORD fine, and see the thumbnail view when looking through the list of recordings06:46
Sharkonwheelsjust can't watch live :)06:46
Sharkonwheelsme thinks it's probably some issue with vid driver06:46
SharkonwheelsNo audio - seems it ain't finding my mainboard audio. I assume if Linux found audio, I'd have the volume button upper right, yes?06:46
SharkonwheelsMy ubuntu and UltimateEdition machines have it06:46
MythbuntuGuest58Yes, my screen shows volume control and I do have audio.07:40

Siljo<Siljo> capture card is network recorder with given m3p playlistž19:22
sirhc_you are using nvidia propietary driver..?19:23
Crewsr3sirhc_, yes I have the glx drivers installed19:23
sirhc_ok.. here is what happened to me in mythbuntu... during install if i said " enable tv out" once the install finised only tv out would work.. no vga.. so i started over reinstalled .. left off enable tv ..19:25
sirhc_then got the nvidia drivers and updated.. then i got a neat app nvtv which controls the tv out on nvidia cards..19:26
sirhc_so now i can have vga and tv .. either clone or dual display.. make sense?19:26
sirhc_i can change either resoulution to anything i want.. independent to each other..19:27
sirhc_oh.. and you know you have to run nvidia x from the console in order to save the config file.. also i had to turn off desktop effects to get my terminal and window close / minimize buttons / drag window back after installing nvidia drivers..19:31
neoneddyquestion: I had a recording that was just recording.. I had to reboot mid-recording.. now it won't keep recording, it thinks it did already20:19
neoneddyHmm even override isn't working20:26
neoneddyit's like it thinks it already recorded it.. can I purse the old records?20:30
neoneddypurge20:30
neoneddyYou know anything about the recording system of MythTV?20:30
JEDIDIAH__r u talking about the mechanics of recording or the scheduling system?20:31
neoneddymore of the scheduling... I had to reboot a few times mid recording and now it won't record the current program20:31
neoneddyDaytona 50020:32
neoneddyI tried a schedule override, still nod ice20:32
JEDIDIAH__it should record the rest of the program.20:34
JEDIDIAH__it should show up as multiple copies of the same program name.20:34
neoneddyIt did for a while.. like after every reboot it kept restarting the cording so I had 3 or 4 clips... I started watching the currently recording one, then it stopped... the status was it was still recording, however it was letting you go past 4 minutes into it or so.  so I removed the schedule, stopped the recording, then tried to recreate the schedule20:36
neoneddyand now it says "MythTV Status:  This showing was recorded."20:36
