[00:00] <tgm4883> it helps, but even then, it can be a long process
[00:01] <tgm4883> i'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 watch
[00:01] <tgm4883> either of those would be much faster
[00:10] <vizo1> tgm4883: 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?
[00:13] <vizo1> hrm could not locate streamui in streams
[00:24] <vizo1> ah fixed it
[00:30] <moj0rising> silly 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?
[00:35] <moj0rising> more information on my setup: the mythtv setup program indicates the port is 6543 but a simple netcat test yelds "connection refused"
[00:38] <Marsupilami23> Can 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.
[00:41] <sirhc_> moj0rising: i thought the default listen is 6044 --- server runs on 6043 listen for front-end on 6044
[00:42] <sirhc_> Marsupilami23: did you change the ip during setup??
[00:42] <Marsupilami23> Nope
[00:42] <moj0rising> thanks, sirhc_ checking that now...
[00:42] <sirhc_> should be 127.0.0.1
[00:42] <Marsupilami23> was weird, I did have to change the mysql password for mythtv
[00:42] <Marsupilami23> it's localhost
[00:43] <moj0rising> sirhc_: don't think that's it on my machine: us@myth:~$ nc -zv localhost 6044
[00:43] <moj0rising> localhost [127.0.0.1] 6044 (?) : Connection refused
[00:47] <moj0rising> can someone point me to a configuration file I can check to see what port the back-end should be listening on?
[00:47] <moj0rising> I already checked /usr/bin/mythtv-setup but it's not there
[01:02] <Marsupilami23> I'm getting a "Connection timed out." from the frontend
[01:03] <Marsupilami23> seems to be connecting to the correct host:port
[01:32] <Marsupilami23> this is aggravating
[03:17] <Sharkonwheels> Issue 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 8.10
[03:17] <Sharkonwheels> Using 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 :)
[03:18] <Sharkonwheels> just bought an HVR-1600 at C/C ($57) and a PCTV PCI card ($44) plus a 500GB SATA2 ($74) for better build-up
[03:20] <Sharkonwheels> Oh - 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...
[03:51] <mike_hurley> anybody else have dvd menu problems from when playing a dvd iso
[03:51] <mike_hurley> ?
[03:52] <mike_hurley> for this 1 dvd i get a thick blue line at the top while playing in the internal player so i'm trying vlc and xine
[03:53] <mike_hurley> with vlc it'll go the menu correctly but i can't navigate the menu
[03:53] <mike_hurley> in 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)
[04:01] <rhpot1991> mike_hurley: guessing the dvd might be doing something weird then
[04:07] <mike_hurley> rhpot1991: well in vlc's case, if i run vlc gui and then load the dvd iso, menu browsing works just fine
[04:08] <mike_hurley> if 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 menu
[04:19] <JymmmEMC> Is there  a list of potential front ends (diskless?) by chance
[04:40] <Sharkonwheels> fyi, CircCity has the Hauppauge HVR-1600's @ $59, Pinnacle PCTV HD PCI @ $47, and I got (2) Seagate 500GB 7.2K SATA2 drives @ $70/ea
[04:41] <rhpot1991>  Sharkonwheels happen to see what home audio percentage is at now?
[04:42] <Sharkonwheels> sorry - didn't see it - gimme a few to check the email :)
[04:43] <Sharkonwheels> 30% off
[04:43] <rhpot1991> darn, needs to hit 40% before they even compare with amazon/newegg
[04:44] <Sharkonwheels> linkage: http://email.circuitcity.com/W0RH00317E3D1F6AA32C52FAF242C0
[04:44] <Sharkonwheels> yeah...i know...even in liq their prices are still sometimes crazy.
[04:44] <Sharkonwheels> example: SimpleTech external 2.5" USB2 320GB drive, $139.99 *DISCOUNTED*
[04:44] <Sharkonwheels> I paid $135 in Feb 2008 @ best Buy!
[04:44] <Sharkonwheels> a dang YEAR ago!
[04:45] <rhpot1991> yep
[04:45] <Sharkonwheels> actually, make that january - it went on a Feb trip with me to LA
[04:48] <Sharkonwheels> computer 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% off
[04:50] <MythbuntuGuest28> weird, rip .iso of aladdin in mythtv and also windows, rips fine but won't play, any ideas?
[04:51] <MythbuntuGuest28> foxbuntu, I got the Lite-On dvd burner, working great
[04:51] <MythbuntuGuest28> any luck with the good cover art script?
[04:54] <foxbuntu> MythbuntuGuest28, nope, been too busy, and besides that, there is some change in Upstream that is going to make the scripts go away in .22
[04:54] <MythbuntuGuest28> ok, no prob, it's easy to get them
[04:54]  * rhpot1991 wonders if tmdb has better data now
[05:02] <MythbuntuGuest28> if 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?
[05:03] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest28: most likely copy protection
[05:03] <MythbuntuGuest28> so no way around that?
[05:04] <MythbuntuGuest28> bummer, my boy's favorite movie
[05:04] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest28: google
[05:04] <rhpot1991> odds are you will need to remove the protection
[05:04] <rhpot1991> you could try using gddrescue
[05:05] <MythbuntuGuest28> even if the .iso creates fine?
[05:06] <rhpot1991> its a tricky area, some dvds do things with the menus so you can rip fine but it does weird things on playback
[05:06] <rhpot1991> your best bet is to google something like "ripping aladdin" and read around
[05:06] <JymmmEMC> rhpot1991: huh?
[05:06] <MythbuntuGuest28> i tried that, no luck?
[05:07] <JymmmEMC> rhpot1991: what weird things on playback?
[05:07] <MythbuntuGuest28> it basically just hangs at the blue dvd warning menu, never gets past it
[05:07] <MythbuntuGuest28> but the video is normal
[05:07] <JymmmEMC> MythbuntuGuest28: and how did you "rip" the dvd?
[05:08] <rhpot1991> JymmmEMC: things that cause it not to playback
[05:08] <MythbuntuGuest28> well when i ripped it with dvddecryptor it had remove macrovision protection checked
[05:09] <JymmmEMC> Sorry 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] <MythbuntuGuest28> with myth i did to .iso with ac3 track, and also tried dvd decryptor
[05:09] <JymmmEMC> MythbuntuGuest28: You know there's MUCH more than just macrovision, right?
[05:09] <MythbuntuGuest28> i typically have never seen an issue with a rip, this is first for me
[05:10] <JymmmEMC> MythbuntuGuest28: Ah, well try any of the SAW movies =)
[05:10] <MythbuntuGuest28> same issues?
[05:10] <JymmmEMC> Well, no. you never get that far =)
[05:11] <MythbuntuGuest28> ic, it's just weird i get an iso and it won't play back
[05:11] <JymmmEMC> try with vlc
[05:11] <MythbuntuGuest28> ok, will do that
[05:11] <JymmmEMC> it'll play iso's directly
[05:12] <MythbuntuGuest28> well, actually mplayer plays it, it just hangs up at first image
[05:12] <JymmmEMC> In my media library, I tend to remove everything but ac3 and english subtitles. no menus, no extras, just the main stuff
[05:13] <JymmmEMC> If I need any of that for whatever reason, I can pull out the original dvd if need be
[05:13] <MythbuntuGuest28> right, i do the same
[05:13] <rhpot1991> JymmmEMC: I've heard (never seen) of some that do things after the copywrite screen or previews
[05:14] <MythbuntuGuest28> probably this one
[05:14] <rhpot1991> for me I've only ever hit one that I wasn't able to successfully watch with a combination of gddrescue and xine
[05:14] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest28: I'd doubt it, but you never know
[05:14] <JymmmEMC> oh 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"
[05:15] <rhpot1991> vantage point was a bugger, and a ginormous waste of my time on more than one level
[05:15] <JymmmEMC> First time ever I had to rip to hdd, then reauthor.
[05:15] <JymmmEMC> out of like 700 movies
[05:16] <MythbuntuGuest28> hmm, guess there are just a few toughies
[05:16] <MythbuntuGuest28> i doubt this is one, seems like it's something else
[05:16] <JymmmEMC> Oh, is there s list of (diskless?) front ends by chance?
[05:16] <JymmmEMC> MythbuntuGuest28: what title?
[05:16] <MythbuntuGuest28> Aladdin
[05:16] <JymmmEMC> when was it release on dvd?
[05:17] <MythbuntuGuest28> 2004
[05:17] <JymmmEMC> Hmmm, maybe the things you used are not up to par for all of the protections
[05:17] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest28: it isn't scratched/damaged is it?
[05:17] <rhpot1991> 2004 release shouldn't be too tough now
[05:18] <MythbuntuGuest28> no, not that I am aware of, plays fine in all other players
[05:18] <JymmmEMC> rip to hdd then reauthor and see how that goes
[05:18] <MythbuntuGuest28> what programms
[05:19] <Sharkonwheels> Is 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] <Sharkonwheels> not doing anything else in the background
[05:19] <MythbuntuGuest51> Hi I am having problems using a Diseqc switch.  I have 2 lnbs one on port 1 and the other on port 2.  the diseqc works fine in works but in myth I can only get it to work with port one of the switch.  Help anyone?
[05:19] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: HD or SD?
[05:19] <Sharkonwheels> SD
[05:19] <MythbuntuGuest51> not works, windows
[05:20] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: should be good enough for SD, do you have restricted drivers for your video loaded?
[05:20] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: run top see what usage is like

[05:26] <Sharkonwheels> crapola - hovering in the low 80% range
[05:26] <Sharkonwheels> 82-85%  that normal, even using mpeg2? doesn't the HVR-1600 have onboard MPEG2?
[05:27] <Sharkonwheels> I am using box-stock mythbuntu 8.10 - anything I should upgrade, ie, card fw file, cx18 driver, etc... ?
[05:30] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: my 1900+ runs 40% or so with SD
[05:31] <rhpot1991> might want to check your playback profiles and make sure you are actually using fglrx
[05:36] <MythbuntuGuest28> what is a good HD capture card for playing over the air HD with mythtv?
[05:37] <rhpot1991> HDHR
[05:37] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest28: http://www.silicondust.com/
[05:38] <MythbuntuGuest28> thanks, looks good
[05:41] <MythbuntuGuest28> what is a good way to rip and reauthor, use windows tools or linux?
[05:42] <MythbuntuGuest28> i have dvdshrink, dvddecryptor for windows
[06:17] <Sharkonwheels> rhpot1991: setup>setup>tv settings>playback?
[06:17] <Sharkonwheels> set it to PVR350, IVTV, same diff
[06:18] <Sharkonwheels> (I have an HVR-1600, which elsewhere says to set it up as a PVR-350)
[06:18] <Sharkonwheels> I don't see anywhere where you mention the video card driver
[06:39] <JymmmEMC> Shadow__X: 512m seems low
[06:39] <Shadow__X> wha
[06:40] <JymmmEMC> sorry, for guy that left
[06:40] <JymmmEMC> nick completion ftw
[06:40] <Shadow__X> how about auto name completion xchat maemo linux
[06:40] <Shadow__X> ftw
[06:40] <Shadow__X> doesnt even work
[06:41] <JymmmEMC> I started typing as he was just leaving
[06:41] <JymmmEMC> you know how it is... all you sha* people look alike!
[06:42] <Shadow__X> right
[06:42] <Shadow__X> of course
[06:42] <JymmmEMC> sha<tab> if there's more than one of ya, oh well =)
[06:44] <andrboot> Hai
[06:44] <andrboot> is this place less quiet? heh. anywho I have a shiney ATI RAge 128 Pro onboard :p how can i better video playback.. vesa is garbage
[06:44] <andrboot> my tv struggles o.ol
[06:44] <JymmmEMC> three chars (26^3) = 17K combinations... if ya can't find a unique nick in that not much I can say =)
[06:45] <JymmmEMC> isn't there resitricted drivers for ati?
[06:46] <Shadow__X> yes
[06:46] <Shadow__X> fglrx
[06:48] <andrboot> Shadow__X does that actually work for a ati-128 rage pro?
[06:49] <Shadow__X> hmm
[06:49] <Shadow__X> is that a laptop card
[06:49] <Shadow__X> or is that just an old desktop one
[06:49] <andrboot> server :p
[06:50] <andrboot> Hp Ml sucker
[06:50] <Shadow__X> p3?
[06:50] <andrboot> p4
[06:50] <andrboot> 3ghz
[06:50] <Sharkonwheels> rhpot1991: if you're still around, I'm on the box itself now
[06:50] <Shadow__X> still dont think its gonna work
[06:50] <andrboot> Shadow__X crap
[06:50] <Shadow__X> maybe mesa or just vesa
[06:50] <andrboot> hmm.
[06:50] <andrboot> damnit
[06:50] <Shadow__X> whats wrong with vesa
[06:50] <Shadow__X> thatll work
[06:50] <andrboot> Shadow__X chew's cpu
[06:50] <andrboot> can't want HDTv with that o.o
[06:51] <Shadow__X> lol
[06:51] <Shadow__X> go get a new gpu
[06:51] <andrboot> Shadow__X can't no agp :p
[06:51] <andrboot> its a server lol.
[06:52] <Sharkonwheels> Issue: LiveTV/watch recordings is skippy. Using ATI proproetary driver (ATI Radeon 9550XL 356MB), Hauppauge HVR-1600, Athlon XP 3200+. Top shows 85%+ cpu use, so I gotta have something set wrong
[06:52] <Sharkonwheels> er, 9550XL w/256MB
[06:54] <andrboot> o.o
[06:54] <andrboot> blech
[06:54] <andrboot> going to give f* a go
[06:54] <andrboot> gg
[06:54] <andrboot> *fgrlx
[06:54] <andrboot> o.o mirros so slow o.o
[06:55] <JymmmEMC> Sharkonwheels: Didn't you say you only had 512MB ram?
[06:57] <JymmmEMC> it's probably swapping out to hdd
[07:01] <Sharkonwheels> yep - over 200mb available, says top, though
[07:02] <Sharkonwheels> right now, mythtv open, I have 92mb free RAM according to top
[07:05] <Sharkonwheels> swap shows 87MB of 1GB used
[07:08] <Sharkonwheels> brb, rebooting
[07:30] <Sharkonwheels> JymmmEMC: funny thing, is I have no issues using the FOSS video driver, but there's not TV-out on that for AMD
[07:31] <Sharkonwheels> TV watching is fine, and fluid, recorded video is fine, as well
[07:31] <JymmmEMC> Well using any swap imo is a bad thing. ram is cheap
[07:32] <Sharkonwheels> CPU utilization is now 20-21% using the FOSS video driver
[07:32] <Sharkonwheels> using the fgrlx, it goes to 80-85 cpu util
[07:33] <JymmmEMC> toss in 2gb and see if things improve.
[07:33] <Sharkonwheels> heh - got no DDR400 to toss in this box, unfortunately
[07:33] <JymmmEMC> hit the store in the morning
[07:33] <Sharkonwheels> just the (2) corsair XMS 256MB sticks I have in there
[07:34] <JymmmEMC> return em and get 2x1gb
[07:34] <Sharkonwheels> RAM can't be the prob, if it works fine using the FOSS driver, and skips using the fgrlx driver?
[07:34] <Sharkonwheels> these (2) sticks I bought in 2003 - 'member, it's an Athlon XP 3200+!
[07:34] <Sharkonwheels> this was a machine I had in the garage!
[07:35] <JymmmEMC> great then 2x1gb will only be $30 or so
[07:36] <JymmmEMC> steal ram from another box for testing
[07:36] <JymmmEMC> it if fixes the issue, cheap solution
[07:59] <n2mbuntu> I'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.
[08:00] <n2mbuntu> I've added 2 lines to /etc/event.d/tty7
[08:00] <n2mbuntu> exec /bin/openvt -fwc 2 -- /bin/su - mythtv -c /usr/bin/startx
[08:00] <n2mbuntu> console none
[08:02] <n2mbuntu> and 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 works
[08:03] <n2mbuntu> How can I get it to work straight after boot, without killing anything?
[17:48] <MythbuntuGuest78> is 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.
[18:15] <tgm4883> MythbuntuGuest78, did you try sending a down arrow?
[18:15] <tgm4883> you should just be able to use your remote though?
[18:23] <MythbuntuGuest78> i have not tried a down arrow...but i am using a touchpanel and sending the ip commands. I am not using an IR remote
[18:24] <MythbuntuGuest78> sending a key down command did not work
[18:30] <JymmmEMC> Is there a list of (diskless?) front ends by chance?
[18:49] <MythbuntuGuest78> tgm4883, have any other ideas?
[18:49] <MythbuntuGuest78> even the MyMote application for the iphone has the same problem in that it will not wake up the mythtv unless a video starts playing
[18:53] <MythbuntuGuest78> actually that doesnt even work you get audio just no video
[19:26] <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?
[19:53] <superm1> ruben-, modify /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to point the include at that
[19:53] <ruben-> superm1: Just done that
[19:53] <ruben-> IRW displays the correct buttons, but mythtv does not recognize it
[19:54] <superm1> ruben-, rerun mythbuntu-lirc-generator then
[19:54] <superm1> and it will make bindings for myth
[19:54] <ruben-> When I press my video button on my remote it says: "000... 00 Videos medion"
[19:55] <MythbuntuGuest45> Mythbuntu 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 :s
[19:55] <ruben-> superm1: any idea?
[19:56] <superm1> ruben-, have you restarted mythfrontend since you ran the lirc generator?
[19:56] <ruben-> superm1: yes
[19:56] <superm1> it reads the input on startup
[19:56] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest45, did you turn on the xfce splash?  heard it can cause problems
[19:56] <superm1> ruben-, okay then double check in ~/.lirc/mythtv to make sure the video button is actually mapped
[19:56] <ruben-> but "cat ~/.lirc/mythtv|grep -i video" gives nothing..
[19:56] <superm1> yeah sometimes some buttons dont map out well generically
[19:57] <ruben-> Should I just add it?
[19:57] <superm1> ruben-, yeah that's probably your best bet
[19:57] <superm1> just make sure you get the syntax right when you do
[19:57] <ruben-> so in "button = " I just add "button = Videos" and in config "config = Videos" ?
[19:59] <ruben-> superm1: Should I rerun something after changing the ~/.lirc/mythtv ?
[20:01] <ruben-> omg
[20:01]  * ruben- hugs superm1 
[20:04] <superm1> works? :)
[20:04] <ruben-> yea :)
[20:04] <ruben-> girlfriend'll love this
[20:04] <ruben-> now she has her own mediacenter-laptop with remote control :p
[20:05] <superm1> ruben-, so now if you want to go above and beyond let me point you how to write a patch to fix this...
[20:05] <superm1> ruben-, when you get a patch for it written, we can have it in 9.04
[20:05] <ruben-> superm1: Let me know if I can help.. :)
[20:06] <superm1> ruben-, well so how much of an understanding do you have about debian binary and source packages?
[20:06] <superm1> ruben-, if not much, that's not a problem, I can help you come up with a patch just working on the already installed files

[22:48] <Mostr> hi gang. anyone one with experience with an irblaster on a serial port?
[22:53] <msaul>  can anyone help me when I can't use LP/EP/SP when using mytharchive onto a single layer DVD?
[22:53] <msaul>  I can burn the DVD when I select "Don't Re-encode', but ffmpeg errors when I select EP/LP/SP...
[22:53] <msaul>  I'm using Mythbuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
[22:53] <msaul> I have tried most documentation, but at a loss what to do next... I would like to be able to use EP/LP to extend the capacity of my single layer DVD, and yet still be able to use front-end for mytharhive (i.e. not issue command line...)
