tgm4883it helps, but even then, it can be a long process00:00
tgm4883i'd rather have an implementation that can either update the show list when I go into a specific show, or just grab the shows that I want to watch00:01
tgm4883either of those would be much faster00:01
vizo1tgm4883: I am running th gethulu.pl first. I see what you mean.00:10
vizo1"print() on closed filehandle MYTHMENU at /usr/local/bin/gethulu.pl" is that suppose to happen?00:10
vizo1hrm could not locate streamui in streams00:13
vizo1ah fixed it00:24
moj0risingsilly question. I can't seem to find the port the myth back-end listens on in mythbuntu. it doesn not appear to be 6543, which mythweb expects. Can anyone tell me the port I should change the mythweb configuration to check?00:30
sirhc_hey guys .. i found some info that i think will get my remote going, but i am having some trouble understanding exactly how to implement the instructions. if any of you have a min. would you go through it with me and help clarify the grey areas?00:30
moj0risingmore information on my setup: the mythtv setup program indicates the port is 6543 but a simple netcat test yelds "connection refused"00:35
Marsupilami23Can someone help me figure out why my frontend is not connecting to my backend? Both are the same computer, set to localhost. So I'm stumped.00:38
sirhc_moj0rising: i thought the default listen is 6044 --- server runs on 6043 listen for front-end on 604400:41
sirhc_Marsupilami23: did you change the ip during setup??00:42
Marsupilami23Nope00:42
moj0risingthanks, sirhc_ checking that now...00:42
sirhc_should be 127.0.0.100:42
Marsupilami23was weird, I did have to change the mysql password for mythtv00:42
Marsupilami23it's localhost00:42
moj0risingsirhc_: don't think that's it on my machine: us@myth:~$ nc -zv localhost 604400:43
moj0risinglocalhost [127.0.0.1] 6044 (?) : Connection refused00:43
moj0risingcan someone point me to a configuration file I can check to see what port the back-end should be listening on?00:47
moj0risingI already checked /usr/bin/mythtv-setup but it's not there00:47
Marsupilami23I'm getting a "Connection timed out." from the frontend01:02
Marsupilami23seems to be connecting to the correct host:port01:03
Marsupilami23this is aggravating01:32

SharkonwheelsIssue with viewing recordings/Live TV - video freezes. H/W: old PCI WinTV, ATi Radeon 9550XL (256MB), Athlon XP 2.2gHz, 512Mb RAM, 80GB SATA, Mythbuntu 8.1003:17
SharkonwheelsUsing ATI Prop. fglrx, TV-out works, LiveTV/Recording watching don't. Using FOSS ATI driver, TV-out doesn't work, but LiveTV/Recording watching does work :)03:17
Sharkonwheelsjust bought an HVR-1600 at C/C ($57) and a PCTV PCI card ($44) plus a 500GB SATA2 ($74) for better build-up03:18
SharkonwheelsOh - can't get audio out. ALSA audio is working (using sound test on Settings>login>accessibility) but can't get the mappings down. I assume the HVR-1600 will allow me to NOT need the line-out-to-line-in bs cable...03:20
mike_hurleyanybody else have dvd menu problems from when playing a dvd iso03:51
mike_hurley?03:51
mike_hurleyfor this 1 dvd i get a thick blue line at the top while playing in the internal player so i'm trying vlc and xine03:52
mike_hurleywith vlc it'll go the menu correctly but i can't navigate the menu03:53
mike_hurleyin xine, it'll start out with the first menu item selected, but once i use left/right keys i lose the ability to browse (no items are selected and i cant bring the focus back)03:53
rhpot1991mike_hurley: guessing the dvd might be doing something weird then04:01
mike_hurleyrhpot1991: well in vlc's case, if i run vlc gui and then load the dvd iso, menu browsing works just fine04:07
mike_hurleyif run the vlc gui first and load the iso, the menu works just fine, but when mythtv starts up vlc, i can't browse the menu04:08
JymmmEMCIs there  a list of potential front ends (diskless?) by chance04:19
Sharkonwheelsfyi, CircCity has the Hauppauge HVR-1600's @ $59, Pinnacle PCTV HD PCI @ $47, and I got (2) Seagate 500GB 7.2K SATA2 drives @ $70/ea04:40
rhpot1991 Sharkonwheels happen to see what home audio percentage is at now?04:41
Sharkonwheelssorry - didn't see it - gimme a few to check the email :)04:42
Sharkonwheels30% off04:43
rhpot1991darn, needs to hit 40% before they even compare with amazon/newegg04:43
Sharkonwheelslinkage: http://email.circuitcity.com/W0RH00317E3D1F6AA32C52FAF242C004:44
Sharkonwheelsyeah...i know...even in liq their prices are still sometimes crazy.04:44
Sharkonwheelsexample: SimpleTech external 2.5" USB2 320GB drive, $139.99 *DISCOUNTED*04:44
SharkonwheelsI paid $135 in Feb 2008 @ best Buy!04:44
Sharkonwheelsa dang YEAR ago!04:44
rhpot1991yep04:45
Sharkonwheelsactually, make that january - it went on a Feb trip with me to LA04:45
Sharkonwheelscomputer acces at 40% off, I figured it was a decent time to get a couple things. If the Pinnacle PCI card works OK, I'll get a 2nd in a week or 2 when they (hopefully) drop to 50% off04:48
MythbuntuGuest28weird, rip .iso of aladdin in mythtv and also windows, rips fine but won't play, any ideas?04:50
MythbuntuGuest28foxbuntu, I got the Lite-On dvd burner, working great04:51
MythbuntuGuest28any luck with the good cover art script?04:51
foxbuntuMythbuntuGuest28, nope, been too busy, and besides that, there is some change in Upstream that is going to make the scripts go away in .2204:54
MythbuntuGuest28ok, no prob, it's easy to get them04:54
* rhpot1991 wonders if tmdb has better data now04:54
MythbuntuGuest28if anybody has had similar problems, wondering if there is a solution, rip aladdin to .iso and also used dvd decryptor, generates the .iso both programs but hangs up playing at the blue dvd warning screen?????  Is it an mplayer issue?05:02
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest28: most likely copy protection05:03
MythbuntuGuest28so no way around that?05:03
MythbuntuGuest28bummer, my boy's favorite movie05:04
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest28: google05:04
rhpot1991odds are you will need to remove the protection05:04
rhpot1991you could try using gddrescue05:04
MythbuntuGuest28even if the .iso creates fine?05:05
rhpot1991its a tricky area, some dvds do things with the menus so you can rip fine but it does weird things on playback05:06
rhpot1991your best bet is to google something like "ripping aladdin" and read around05:06
JymmmEMCrhpot1991: huh?05:06
MythbuntuGuest28i tried that, no luck?05:06
JymmmEMCrhpot1991: what weird things on playback?05:07
MythbuntuGuest28it basically just hangs at the blue dvd warning menu, never gets past it05:07
MythbuntuGuest28but the video is normal05:07
JymmmEMCMythbuntuGuest28: and how did you "rip" the dvd?05:07
rhpot1991JymmmEMC: things that cause it not to playback05:08
MythbuntuGuest28well when i ripped it with dvddecryptor it had remove macrovision protection checked05:08
JymmmEMCSorry to sound arrogant, but I've never had an issue on playback of any iso I've created, so I've never seen such a thing.05:09
MythbuntuGuest28with myth i did to .iso with ac3 track, and also tried dvd decryptor05:09
JymmmEMCMythbuntuGuest28: You know there's MUCH more than just macrovision, right?05:09
MythbuntuGuest28i typically have never seen an issue with a rip, this is first for me05:09
JymmmEMCMythbuntuGuest28: Ah, well try any of the SAW movies =)05:10
MythbuntuGuest28same issues?05:10
JymmmEMCWell, no. you never get that far =)05:10
MythbuntuGuest28ic, it's just weird i get an iso and it won't play back05:11
JymmmEMCtry with vlc05:11
MythbuntuGuest28ok, will do that05:11
JymmmEMCit'll play iso's directly05:11
MythbuntuGuest28well, actually mplayer plays it, it just hangs up at first image05:12
JymmmEMCIn my media library, I tend to remove everything but ac3 and english subtitles. no menus, no extras, just the main stuff05:12
JymmmEMCIf I need any of that for whatever reason, I can pull out the original dvd if need be05:13
MythbuntuGuest28right, i do the same05:13
rhpot1991JymmmEMC: I've heard (never seen) of some that do things after the copywrite screen or previews05:13
MythbuntuGuest28probably this one05:14
rhpot1991for me I've only ever hit one that I wasn't able to successfully watch with a combination of gddrescue and xine05:14
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest28: I'd doubt it, but you never know05:14
JymmmEMCoh sure, that are all kinds of copy protections, all the SAW movies for one. and one of the hardest I've ever come across was "The Express"05:14
rhpot1991vantage point was a bugger, and a ginormous waste of my time on more than one level05:15
JymmmEMCFirst time ever I had to rip to hdd, then reauthor.05:15
JymmmEMCout of like 700 movies05:15
MythbuntuGuest28hmm, guess there are just a few toughies05:16
MythbuntuGuest28i doubt this is one, seems like it's something else05:16
JymmmEMCOh, is there s list of (diskless?) front ends by chance?05:16
JymmmEMCMythbuntuGuest28: what title?05:16
MythbuntuGuest28Aladdin05:16
JymmmEMCwhen was it release on dvd?05:16
MythbuntuGuest28200405:17
JymmmEMCHmmm, maybe the things you used are not up to par for all of the protections05:17
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest28: it isn't scratched/damaged is it?05:17
rhpot19912004 release shouldn't be too tough now05:17
MythbuntuGuest28no, not that I am aware of, plays fine in all other players05:18
JymmmEMCrip to hdd then reauthor and see how that goes05:18
MythbuntuGuest28what programms05:18
SharkonwheelsIs an Athlon XP 2.2gHz fast enough for live TV? Mine's skipping (400fsb, 512Mb DDR 400, A-XP 3200+ 2.2gHz, Haupp HVR-1600)05:19

JymmmEMCSharkonwheels: Didn't you say you only had 512MB ram?06:55
JymmmEMCit's probably swapping out to hdd06:57
Sharkonwheelsyep - over 200mb available, says top, though07:01
Sharkonwheelsright now, mythtv open, I have 92mb free RAM according to top07:02
Sharkonwheelsswap shows 87MB of 1GB used07:05
Sharkonwheelsbrb, rebooting07:08
SharkonwheelsJymmmEMC: funny thing, is I have no issues using the FOSS video driver, but there's not TV-out on that for AMD07:30
SharkonwheelsTV watching is fine, and fluid, recorded video is fine, as well07:31
JymmmEMCWell using any swap imo is a bad thing. ram is cheap07:31
SharkonwheelsCPU utilization is now 20-21% using the FOSS video driver07:32
Sharkonwheelsusing the fgrlx, it goes to 80-85 cpu util07:32
JymmmEMCtoss in 2gb and see if things improve.07:33
Sharkonwheelsheh - got no DDR400 to toss in this box, unfortunately07:33
JymmmEMChit the store in the morning07:33
Sharkonwheelsjust the (2) corsair XMS 256MB sticks I have in there07:33
JymmmEMCreturn em and get 2x1gb07:34
SharkonwheelsRAM can't be the prob, if it works fine using the FOSS driver, and skips using the fgrlx driver?07:34
Sharkonwheelsthese (2) sticks I bought in 2003 - 'member, it's an Athlon XP 3200+!07:34
Sharkonwheelsthis was a machine I had in the garage!07:34
JymmmEMCgreat then 2x1gb will only be $30 or so07:35
JymmmEMCsteal ram from another box for testing07:36

n2mbuntuI've just started with mythbuntu. I'm trying to make mythfrontend to start automatically after boot. And just that, does not need gdm starting, so I've disabled that.07:59

n2mbuntuexec /bin/openvt -fwc 2 -- /bin/su - mythtv -c /usr/bin/startx08:00

n2mbuntuand they start frontend after boot, but frontend is bitching about backend not running. And does not respond to keyboard. I have to ssh in and kill xinit program. Then it restarts and works08:02
n2mbuntuHow can I get it to work straight after boot, without killing anything?08:03

MythbuntuGuest78is there a command to bring mythtv out of sleep...if i send an space bar command from ip it will wake the monitor, however i still get no video until i physically wake it will a keyboard.17:48
tgm4883MythbuntuGuest78, did you try sending a down arrow?18:15
tgm4883you should just be able to use your remote though?18:15
MythbuntuGuest78i have not tried a down arrow...but i am using a touchpanel and sending the ip commands. I am not using an IR remote18:23
MythbuntuGuest78sending a key down command did not work18:24
JymmmEMCIs there a list of (diskless?) front ends by chance?18:30
MythbuntuGuest78tgm4883, have any other ideas?18:49
MythbuntuGuest78even the MyMote application for the iphone has the same problem in that it will not wake up the mythtv unless a video starts playing18:49

ruben-I specified "Medion MD1 NBC" in the mythbuntu control centre, I've found that /usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atiusb contains a good configuration for my remote, how can I specify that specific remote?19:26
superm1ruben-, modify /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to point the include at that19:53
ruben-superm1: Just done that19:53
ruben-IRW displays the correct buttons, but mythtv does not recognize it19:53
superm1ruben-, rerun mythbuntu-lirc-generator then19:54
superm1and it will make bindings for myth19:54
ruben-When I press my video button on my remote it says: "000... 00 Videos medion"19:54
MythbuntuGuest45Mythbuntu locks up on desktop manager when booting up.19:55
ruben-in MythTV when I then press edit keys, it just says  "Waiting for key press" when I press the video button :s19:55
ruben-superm1: any idea?19:55
superm1ruben-, have you restarted mythfrontend since you ran the lirc generator?19:56
ruben-superm1: yes19:56
superm1it reads the input on startup19:56
superm1MythbuntuGuest45, did you turn on the xfce splash?  heard it can cause problems19:56
superm1ruben-, okay then double check in ~/.lirc/mythtv to make sure the video button is actually mapped19:56
ruben-but "cat ~/.lirc/mythtv|grep -i video" gives nothing..19:56
superm1yeah sometimes some buttons dont map out well generically19:56
ruben-Should I just add it?19:57
superm1ruben-, yeah that's probably your best bet19:57
superm1just make sure you get the syntax right when you do19:57
ruben-so in "button = " I just add "button = Videos" and in config "config = Videos" ?19:57
ruben-superm1: Should I rerun something after changing the ~/.lirc/mythtv ?19:59
ruben-omg20:01
* ruben- hugs superm1 20:01
superm1works? :)20:04
ruben-yea :)20:04
ruben-girlfriend'll love this20:04
ruben-now she has her own mediacenter-laptop with remote control :p20:04
superm1ruben-, so now if you want to go above and beyond let me point you how to write a patch to fix this...20:05
superm1ruben-, when you get a patch for it written, we can have it in 9.0420:05
ruben-superm1: Let me know if I can help.. :)20:05
superm1ruben-, well so how much of an understanding do you have about debian binary and source packages?20:06
superm1ruben-, if not much, that's not a problem, I can help you come up with a patch just working on the already installed files20:06
