[01:55] <noinip> Anyone know how I can ask to have a nick dropped so I can register it?
[02:36] <pinion> excuse my newbness but how do I find my backend password for connecting from other computers?
[02:38] <rhpot1991> pinion: /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[02:39] <pinion> thanks
[02:40] <pinion> can I change that right here or will it jack everything up
[02:41] <rhpot1991> don't change it there
[02:41] <rhpot1991> !mysql | pinion
[02:41] <Zinn> pinion: 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
[02:41] <rhpot1991> if you need to change it you can follow that
[02:42] <pinion> awesome thanks!
[02:51] <pinion> So my goal with this is to have vmware server running freenas which is a NAS os and have that store the majority of my files.  I'd like all my recording to have the commercials stripped out and then moved over to a directory on that virtual server.  I'm not quite sure how all this is going to work yet but I'd like to set up the disk for the virtual machine.  How much space should I leave to mythbuntu for the recording a
[02:51] <pinion> nd transcoding?
[02:53] <pinion> And would it be best to format that partition as XFS even though UFS is what is most stable, supported, and known to work?
[03:03] <nOStahl> heyey guys
[03:03] <nOStahl> how's everyone tonight
[04:17] <Sharkonwheels> rhpot: you there?
[04:18] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: I'm around but I'm very busy so my responses will be slow
[04:19] <Sharkonwheels> np - got the other 3 HVR-1600's today - box is running awesome.
[04:19] <Sharkonwheels> Just wanted to reach out and say thanks! Did have a quickie question on XvMC, though...
[04:19] <rhpot1991> cool, whats the question?
[04:20] <Sharkonwheels> is XvMC *ONLY* a hardware solution? In other words, u said when XvMC was running, my screen stuff would be mono, which it now is.
[04:20] <Sharkonwheels> But, does that guarantee it's using the hardware, ie, is XvMV *ONLY* hardware-based MC?
[04:21] <rhpot1991> ya it uses hardware on the video card
[04:21] <Sharkonwheels> I see in the mythfrontend logs it's looking for "NV44 Texture" as the diskplay, so am I correct in assuming it's working using the GF6200 hardware MC?
[04:21] <Sharkonwheels> no chance it's doing "software" XvMC, correct? XvMC is a hardware-thing?
[04:22] <rhpot1991> ya, if you are seeing monochrome menus then its on
[04:22] <rhpot1991> once its on its on, there is no kinda on or anything
[04:23] <Sharkonwheels> but there's no such thing as software/cpu-based XvMC - it's either the GPU, or it doesn't turn on, correct? Just making sure I don;t have something set wrong, and end up using the CPU for XvMC instead of the GPU. Sounds like XvMC is GPU-only, though, and not doable in s/w
[04:23] <rhpot1991> ya its just a driver talking to the hardware
[04:24] <rhpot1991> and it uses a chip on the hardware to offload the work that would normally be done by software
[04:24] <Sharkonwheels> I set mine to "XVOpenGL" which is what the options say to set for NVidia, but the logs show that failing, and it goes to xv-blit
[04:24] <Sharkonwheels> then I see themessages about NV44 Textures
[04:24] <rhpot1991> I've never heard of using that
[04:24] <Sharkonwheels> as the renderer
[04:24] <rhpot1991> what you do is add that whatever.so file
[04:25] <rhpot1991> libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
[04:25] <rhpot1991> in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig

[04:26]  * Sharkonwheels needs to learn to read pages COMPLETELY
[04:26] <rhpot1991> heh
[04:26] <rhpot1991> ya most of the good nvidia stuff on that page is at the bottom I think
[04:26] <rhpot1991> Option          "XvmcUsesTextures"      "true" in the device section
[04:27] <rhpot1991> and I think thats about all of it
[04:27] <rhpot1991> I'd show you this xorg.conf but its pretty hacked up cause that TV is a pain
[04:29] <Sharkonwheels> hrm... why does that XvMC page say to set XvMCUserTextures to false? says it's required for Chromakey?
[04:29] <Sharkonwheels> Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "false"  # necessary for color Chromakey OSD)
[04:29] <rhpot1991> your card is too new for that anyways
[04:30] <rhpot1991> thats for the 4xxx series, they can do color menus while using XvMC
[04:30] <Sharkonwheels> ahh... changing that option requires reboot? or just X restart?
[04:31] <rhpot1991> should be ok with X I think
[04:35] <Sharkonwheels> log says "Ack! Disabling chromakey OSD we can't use chromakey OSD if chromakeying is not supported"
[04:36] <Sharkonwheels> msg said "xvmc-opengl not available - codec "MPEG2-IDCT" makes "xvmc-blit" available - using xvmc-blit instead
[04:36] <Sharkonwheels> VideoOutputXv: XvMC adapter name: "NV17 Video Texture"
[04:37] <Sharkonwheels> this is from 'tail -f /var/log/messages/mythtv/mythtvfrontend.log'
[04:40] <rhpot1991> Sharkonwheels: I think you can safely ignore those
[04:45] <Sharkonwheels> I'm using the 180.29 drivers (latest) could that be an issue?
[14:46] <perilousapricot> hey, superm1 I don't know if you're the one that handles these things but the mythmusic plugin on the weekly builds is built against the wrong libmyth? or at least that's what it's complaining about
[15:27] <superm1> perilousapricot, fixes or trunk?
[15:27] <perilousapricot> trunk
[15:28] <perilousapricot>  0.21.0+trunk19693-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1
[15:31] <superm1> perilousapricot, tonight there is a new trunk build.  if the problems persist after it, we'll have fresh build logs to see what goes wrong
[15:31] <superm1> i'm guessing it was an inconsistency with last week's build
[16:01] <perilousapricot> superm1, cool, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow
[16:14] <MythbuntuGuest20> i have a question for a friend i'm on the phone with: can you set up one Myth box and access it from anywhere in the home network?
[16:14] <Roracle> even from Windows machines?
[16:15] <tgm4883> yes, on window machines you will need the windows client and you won't have the full experience
[16:15] <tgm4883> but it will work
[16:15] <Roracle> so you don't have to have each one plugged into the cable, just have it access the network then?
[16:17] <tgm4883> right, the backend server will contain the tv cards, then you watch tv on other systems
[16:17] <tgm4883> like a laptop
[16:17] <Roracle> from the way you put it, i was wondering if the windows client just has less features or is it not as stable?
[16:18] <Roracle> can the client be used on the same system as the server?
[16:19] <tgm4883> yes client/server can be same machine
[16:19] <tgm4883> the windows client is fine, but you only get to watch recordings, if you use the beta client you get live tv.  You do not get movies, music, or any of the other plugins
[16:20] <Roracle> awesome, i've never done this before, but i wanna help him set it up.  i'm good at following directions so i'll try to not bother you guys, lol
[16:27] <asphere> Is the WinMyth project over at sourceforge the recommended windows frontend?
[16:27] <tgm4883> no
[16:28] <tgm4883> or maybe it is
[16:28] <tgm4883> hmm
[16:28] <tgm4883> it's on the live cd
[16:28] <tgm4883> sec let me look it up
[16:29] <asphere> sforge files look old
[16:30] <tgm4883> I know the version we ship is 4.1, and that 5.0 has live tv and is in beta last I checked
[16:30] <tgm4883> http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/
[16:30] <tgm4883> thats looking old though too now :(
[16:31] <asphere> t/y
[16:31] <tgm4883> 9.04 may be the last release we ship that player with
[16:32] <tgm4883> yea, if we can add the native windows port of the frontend to the live disk, we will probably ship that
[16:32] <tgm4883> but we haven't done any testing on that yet, so that at least 9.10 if not later
[16:37] <asphere> I was sure I saw something about a windows frontend poking around my 8.10 install last night. Not finding it now
[16:38] <tgm4883> well the windows frontend doesn't get installed on linux machines
[16:39] <tgm4883> I think you can see it if you look at the contents of the ISO
[16:39] <tgm4883> but it shouldn't be on your computer
[16:40] <asphere> ...ah, oh, here's what I found on my linux install: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/Win32 ... now to find that iso
[16:45] <asphere> I had never even plugged that ISO into an MS box. Came right up and offered to install windows frontend. awesome. t/y
[16:46] <tgm4883> asphere, you are right, there is some windows port stuff in the install.  Thats the script to install the native windows port.
[16:46] <tgm4883> i'm going to test that port out now
[16:52] <MythbuntuGuest45> Hello, I'm having a few issues with a brand new mythbuntu 8.10 install. I am unable to record tv. I've tried going in from the frontend (on same machine as the backend) as well as mythweb. It will act like its going to schedule but when I look under upcoming recordings its empty.
[16:53] <asphere> I'm going have to have play around with MythTV Player some more to get it to work. But I think I prefer the MythWeb interface on an ms box anyway
[17:07] <tgm4883> asphere, i've checked into it, we can't ship the windows port
[17:07] <tgm4883> well, we can't ship the dependencies for it
[17:07] <tgm4883> !logs | MythbuntuGuest45
[17:07] <Zinn> MythbuntuGuest45: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/   You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.
[17:19] <Gnea> grrr, I still can't get any sound out of this tv card...
[17:31] <MythbuntuGuest45> tgm4883 my logs are on their way, sorry to keep you waiting
[17:50] <MythbuntuGuest45> tgm4883: here are my logs http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f82a117c
[17:55] <bond007be> hello
[17:56] <bond007be> need some help fixing mythtv and xml settings for belgium
[18:02] <bond007be> anyone
[18:05] <rhpot1991> asphere: is there something wrong with the mythtv player that ships on the iso?
[18:09] <bond007be> hello
[18:14] <asphere> rhpot1991, When I tried it, it installed fine and well, and the UI listed all my recordings, but then when I went to play a video, it froze.
[18:14] <asphere> May not be the software fault though. Let me try disable firewall and see if it goes
[18:27] <asphere> rhpot1991, OK... it plays video but it's currently unwatchable either due to buffering problems or my network not being up to speed...
[18:28] <asphere> ...every 5 seconds or so it pauses and rebuffers. Network should be running 100Mb and I can stream video smooth between the same 2 machines from MythWeb
[18:33] <rhpot1991> asphere: could try searching/posting here http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/
[18:33] <asphere> ...it's not a firewall thing. I turned it back on and the same. Player gets frozen on hi-def content. Lower-rez stuff gets thru but with long buffering pauses
[18:33] <asphere> t/y
[22:58] <mavric> mythbuntu cannont connect to server, a common problem, which i have not been able to solve using google
[22:59] <mavric> "cannot connect to database"
[22:59] <rhpot1991> !mysql
[22:59] <Zinn> 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
[23:00] <mavric> ty
[23:05] <mavric>  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3
[23:05] <mavric>  * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                 [ OK ]
[23:05] <mavric> Package `3' is not installed and no info is available.
[23:06] <rhpot1991> why are you typing 3 there?
[23:06] <mavric> ahhh lol, i got it now
[23:07]  * tgm4883 smacks head
[23:07] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, maybe there should be quotes around commands
[23:10] <mavric> maybe i need to install winderz mce lol
[23:10] <mavric> very strange application, that is impossible to get running unless your a programmer
[23:10] <rhpot1991> ok then...
[23:12] <tgm4883> wtf?
[23:12] <tgm4883> i'm already not in a good mood
[23:12] <tgm4883> I might ban someone
[23:12] <tgm4883> just give me a reason
[23:13] <rhpot1991> !stab everyone
[23:13]  * Zinn stabs everyone with a rusty spork.
[23:13]  * rhpot1991 isn't in a good mood today either
[23:13] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, you can't stab everyone
[23:13] <rhpot1991> why not?
[23:13] <tgm4883> for instance, you still love al gore right?
[23:13] <tgm4883> and michael moore?
[23:14] <rhpot1991> heh
[23:14] <tgm4883> kees, I was told to bug you (and by bug, I mean ask politely) what the proper solution to fixing the problem where multiple tuners will switch places at a reboot
[23:15] <tgm4883> you aren't around right now, so you can pm me with a response when you get back
[23:16] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: I think Sharkonwheels was having that issue so tell him if you find out and he is around later
[23:16] <rhpot1991> should learn zinn the solution
[23:16] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, were IIRC there are some workarounds
[23:16] <tgm4883> but kees knows the proper way to do it
