|---|---|---|
| thedarkone | can i make a ir blaster cable for my mce remote | 01:45 |
| thedarkone | with a old remote and mono cable? | 01:45 |
| thedarkone | anyone alive in here | 02:06 |
| foxbuntu | !google% | thedarkone | 02:24 |
| Zinn | thedarkone: This seems like a question that you probably could have solved by looking the first few results from a Google search. Try to make sure to do the appropriate research before asking a question ( http://www.google.com/ ) | 02:24 |
| wombo | !dev forum | 02:25 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about dev forum | 02:25 |
| wombo | !dev invite only | 02:25 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about dev invite only | 02:25 |
| foxbuntu | wombo, what are you looking for? | 02:25 |
| wombo | just noticed that the dev forum has been changed to invite only? | 02:26 |
| foxbuntu | what forum? | 02:27 |
| wombo | mythbuntu-dev | 02:28 |
| foxbuntu | oh, the irc channel | 02:28 |
| tritium | Is the partitioner fixed in alpha 5? | 02:28 |
| foxbuntu | wombo, why do you need in there? | 02:28 |
| wombo | ah sorry, why did I type forum | 02:28 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, idk, try it? | 02:28 |
| wombo | I just found it interesting to idle, to see how things where going | 02:28 |
| foxbuntu | we like to hide in there | 02:29 |
| foxbuntu | :) | 02:29 |
| wombo | lol | 02:29 |
| tritium | foxbuntu: I can. Was just trying to find out if the donload and time investment are worth it. | 02:29 |
| tritium | download* | 02:29 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, I think its working fine, but idk for sure | 02:29 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, there were several testers | 02:30 |
| tritium | I'll check. Several daily builds prior to it did not work. I'll find out shortly... | 02:30 |
| wombo | Does anybody here have any experience hooking up FTA satalite to Mythbuntu? | 02:31 |
| wombo | I have just brought a Ku band dish and reciever | 02:31 |
| tritium | foxbuntu: still broken | 02:52 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, whats broken about i? | 02:52 |
| foxbuntu | it* | 02:52 |
| tritium | foxbuntu: manual partitioning gives errors about busy partitions, and then hangs | 02:53 |
| tritium | Same behavior as on all previous alphas and dailies | 02:53 |
| foxbuntu | manual does but automatic does not? | 02:53 |
| tritium | I'll have to try automatic next. | 02:53 |
| foxbuntu | k | 02:54 |
| tritium | Well, from the ubuntu alpha 5 release notes "Known Issues", hopefully this is going to be fixed soon: The installer sometimes fails to tell the kernel to reload the partition table during partitioning. This is a race condition, so not everyone will be affected, but if you are then you may have to re-try partitioning a few times before it completes successfully. We believe that the main problem lies in udev, and will be fixing that immediatel | 02:56 |
| thedarkone | anyone use digtal cable | 03:03 |
| tritium | foxbuntu: looks like I beat the race condition above, trying the manual partitioner a second time | 03:03 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, strange | 03:04 |
| tritium | Yep. | 03:04 |
| foxbuntu | well i gtg | 03:04 |
| foxbuntu | gl | 03:04 |
| tritium | Thanks. Take care. | 03:04 |
| Shadow__X | thedarkone, i have digital cable | 03:07 |
| thedarkone | are u using a mce remote with it | 03:07 |
| Shadow__X | what | 03:08 |
| Shadow__X | i have a box connected through firewire | 03:08 |
| thedarkone | oh | 03:08 |
| tritium | Launching mythtv-setup isn't very useful, since DVB/ATSC cards aren't detected. User has to reboot and re-run mythtv-setup anyway. | 03:11 |
| w33d5 | if i were going to install mythbuntu on a 4gb SD card which directories would one suggest installing onto the SD Card (low write / tend not to grow) and which should definitely go onto a hard drive (mostly based on size such as /var ) | 04:48 |
| bear_ | Hi, I'm running mythbuntu 8.10 and having some trouble getting channel listing (swedish, tv.swedb.se) to work with all my channels. I get some errors when mythfilldatabase is executed after configuring my backend which leads me to the question. How is the users usually/supposed to be setup on a mythbuntu running computer used for both back and frontend? Right now I'm logged in as one user but I also have a mythtv-user and a root- | 15:56 |
| bear_ | user as well. Is this common or is this extra user I'm using bad practice, should I log in as the mythtv-user and not really have any other user? I figure the configuration files for the program information is saved in wrong folder since I'm not running the backendsetup, followd by the mythfilldatabase nor the frontend from the mythtv-user. | 15:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | Hello | 16:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I am booting off of the LiveCD, and boot fails. I get dumped into a intaramfs prompt | 16:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I am getting sr0 errors. It looks like this is related to a bad CD or media | 16:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I'm trying new media on a fresh burn to see if that helps | 16:43 |
| Traveler8 | hi, what programm was used to create the cd images? uck? | 17:11 |
| javatexan | MythbuntuGuest49 you may want to try the alternate install | 17:41 |
| javatexan | but if you think its just the media....that may be true too... ;) | 17:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | thanks for the help. I re-burned the ISO a couple different ways, and am trying it now | 18:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | Got it. It looks like it was teh brand of media? | 18:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest49 | I used a diffn't brand, and it worked. Thanks for the post. | 18:12 |
| gumpert345 | I have a CPU that does not support pae, there seem to be problems with HIGHMEM64G (which needs pae) and I want to install mythbuntu but it reboots after 1 sec what can I do that HIGHMEM4G is used instead of HIGHMEM64G? this is where I got the idea, maybe I have the same problem | 20:50 |
| gumpert345 | http://www.mythdora.com/?q=node/900 forgot the link | 20:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Hi, I was wondering if someone could answer a question about the hd-5500 card. I have one installed, and originally set it up as analog 4VL. I got it up and working. | 20:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I wanted to set it up to record HDTV, using QAM from Comcast | 20:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | When I set this card up as DVB, I am unable to scan for any channels or get anything but static from the box | 20:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I was told that comcast has unencrypted QAM that I could use. The hd-5500 is connected directly to my wall, with no cable converter boxes | 20:56 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, what is the question? | 21:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Hi, sorry I wasn't more clear | 21:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Can the 5500 work in this way? Any idea why I can't get any signal when setup as DVB? | 21:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Can you confirm that you can record QAM on the 5500 without a converter box (comcast - Oregon) | 21:03 |
| arocs | hi to everybody ... | 21:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | hi | 21:09 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, I know that you used to be able to. I have the HD-5500 and live in salem and was able to get locals in HD just fine | 21:10 |
| arocs | I have a strange problem with mythbuntu 8.10 and vsync video problem when watching videos | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | I moved just out of comcast range though so I only get directv now :( | 21:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Thanks tgm. I maybe just setup the card wrong? Do you remember if there is anything special to do when setting this up? | 21:11 |
| arocs | I used intel 950 graphic card and ati x1600 with same problem | 21:11 |
| arocs | Used ati and not ati xorg driver .. always with this sync problem | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, I don't think so. I believe I just set it up and scaned | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, do you have a digital tuner in your tV? | 21:12 |
| arocs | any clues ? also with latest ati linux driver | 21:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | no | 21:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I haven't moved it to my TV yet. I am just getting started. It's still just hoooked up to a CGA monitor for now | 21:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | sorry, VGA monitor for now | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, well I was saying, if you have a digital tuner in your TV, that will only be able to get clearQAM | 21:14 |
| tgm4883 | so if you can tune it with your TV, you can tune it with the HD5500 | 21:14 |
| arocs | with mythbuntu 8.04 video vsync it is ok . what is the problem with 8.10? | 21:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Ah, OK. Yeah, I have another TV with a tuner. I'll hook it up directly to the wall to see if I can get QAM. That will verify that I am indeed still getting it in the house. Thanks for the suggestion. | 21:15 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, yep, once you get that figured out let me know | 21:15 |
| arocs | how can i force vsync video in mythtv or mplayer? | 21:19 |
| superm1 | arocs, nvidia? | 21:19 |
| arocs | ati | 21:20 |
| arocs | x1600 | 21:20 |
| superm1 | arocs, you using the open or closed driver? | 21:20 |
| arocs | closed and also open ... but vsync problem with dvi or rgb output | 21:21 |
| superm1 | so if you used the closed driver, then look in amdcccle for vsync settings | 21:22 |
| superm1 | if you use open, you need to install a tool to modify dri settings. i forget the name of it | 21:22 |
| arocs | where is amdccle? | 21:22 |
| superm1 | try running it from mcc or command line | 21:23 |
| superm1 | if you dont have it installed, i think the package is called fglrx-amdcccle | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Hi tgm (and others) it looks like I might not have QAM in the house. I hooked my TV straight to the wall (comcast). I cannot tune 8-1 or 8-2. | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I am doing an 'auto-tune' to see what the TV can find. But it looks like a big 0 for DTV so far | 21:23 |
| arocs | the problem is that this problem occurs with intel 950 and ati , only mythbuntu 8.10 | 21:24 |
| arocs | 8.04 works ok | 21:24 |
| superm1 | intel is a different situation, doesnt support vsync at all i thought yet | 21:24 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, that seems like the problem then | 21:24 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, otherwise the HD5500 should work OOTB | 21:25 |
| superm1 | foxbuntu, | 21:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Yeah, sounds like it. Still waiting for auto-tune to finish. That would be a big bummer. I'll need an HD antennae then, yes? (or a digtial converter box from CCast) | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | you might try calling comcast and see what they say | 21:27 |
| arocs | i have tried to force vsync with aticonfig with no result | 21:27 |
| arocs | vsync problem with mplayer , vlc | 21:27 |
| superm1 | arocs, the amdcccle tool can check status with it to make sure it's enabled | 21:27 |
| superm1 | you should make sure that textured graphics is enabled too | 21:28 |
| _gunni_ | Does the myth-frontend of mythbuntu 9.04alpha work with a backend of mythbuntu 8.10 ? | 21:28 |
| superm1 | creates an xv adapter for these apps | 21:28 |
| superm1 | _gunni_, yes | 21:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I have 1 more problem. I mentioned that I have the hd-5500 working in analag 4vl. But the audio is a bit strange | 21:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I have the 9-pin round cable in the 5500. | 21:29 |
| _gunni_ | superm1: Thx, so i will have the courage to upgrade one frontend for testing | 21:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | And the blue 1/8" off of that going into a SBLive card. | 21:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I can hear audio, but there are 2 audio streams, about 1 second off eachother. | 21:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | When I am watching live TV, there is a 1 second echo, where everything is repeated. | 21:30 |
| superm1 | _gunni_, yeah :) | 21:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Even when I have the front end off, I can still hear sound. When I turn the front end on and watch live, I get the duplicate sound | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, thats a common problem with software encoder cards | 21:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Is there a fix or workaround? | 21:32 |
| superm1 | sounds like an audio mixer input needs to be muted | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | I don't use software encoder though (and not the one on the hd5500), there is a section on the mythtv wiki you can take a look at | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | !software% | 21:33 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about software% | 21:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Ok, I have an update on QAM. I did 'autotune' on my TV, and I now CAN get 8-1, 2-1, etc | 21:34 |
| defendguin | whats the command line tool that will output what lirc event just happened when i press a button on my remote? | 21:41 |
| superm1 | irw? | 21:41 |
| defendguin | thanks mario | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, here is the link for the software encoding audio issue http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Sound_Troubleshooting | 21:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Great, thanks! | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, also, can you use mythbuntu log grabber to post your logs | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | maybe i'll see something about the hd5500 qam issue | 21:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I'm still working on the QAM. I can't get the scanner to scan at all. | 21:55 |
| tgm4883 | errors? | 21:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | When I got to 'chanell editor' and hit 'channel scanner' and scan for QAM 256 in modulation, I get no signal everywhere | 21:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | So it's scanning ATSC chanels, and not finding anything | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, did you test other qam levels? | 21:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Not yet, but I will. The scan takes a while when it can't find anything. I'll scan another level when this is done. Thanks again for the help! | 21:59 |
| tgm4883 | np | 21:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I'm trying other frequency tables as well. Should it just be cable? hrc? irc? Do you happen to know? | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC, I searched all the qam levels and also atsc | 22:07 |
| tgm4883 | I don't remember which ones got the channels though | 22:07 |
| tgm4883 | maybe qam64 | 22:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Ok, I'll try that. | 22:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I am scanning now on cable irc, QAM 64. The scanner is still going, and is showing signal strangth on some chanels | 22:13 |
| tgm4883 | well thats positive news | 22:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Indeed. It says 'no lock' on the chanels, but we'll see what comes up when the scan is done. | 22:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | No luck. I'm scanning QAM64 on difference freq tables now. | 22:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Update: chanel scanner finally found someting! cable-high, QAM256 returned some. Now to see if I can watch them | 22:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | YES | 22:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I am close! | 22:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I have 8.1, 8.2, 2.2. I see video, but no audio. I hear static | 22:41 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, thats more progress | 22:45 |
| tgm4883 | can you post your logs | 22:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Yeah, post them on the forums? | 22:46 |
| tgm4883 | they shouldn't have static, so theres got to be a problem in your audio configuration | 22:46 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, no, use mythbuntu-log-grabber to post them | 22:46 |
| tgm4883 | then just post the link here | 22:46 |
| arocs | hi, i have tried the andcccle tool for vsync with no results. | 22:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | ok | 22:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f2e4231ab | 22:47 |
| arocs | how i enabled vsync with ati catalist? | 22:48 |
| arocs | howto enabled textured graphics in xorg ati closed driver | 22:50 |
| arocs | ? | 22:50 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, is this a single machine setup? | 22:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | yes | 22:55 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, can you try playing that recording outside of mythtv? | 22:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | You want me to play a recording, on something other than mythtv, correct? So record something, then playback on someting else. Yes? | 22:57 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, yes. you can also try setting aggressive audio buffering in the frontend setup | 22:58 |
| tgm4883 | that might help it | 22:58 |
| tgm4883 | but i'd try the outside of mythtv thing first | 22:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | OK, I played a recording in VLC. | 23:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I can hear sound on it. | 23:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | But, I hear static over the top of it. | 23:02 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, thats very odd | 23:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Remember my previous post, when I mentioned that I am hearing sound from the tuner, even when the front end is shut off? | 23:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | This is where the static is coming from. | 23:02 |
| tgm4883 | oh | 23:02 |
| tgm4883 | unplug the analog line in audio | 23:03 |
| tgm4883 | then test it | 23:03 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | trying now | 23:03 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | THAT WAS IT | 23:04 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | I have video and sound! | 23:04 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | SWEET | 23:04 |
| arocs | i have tried mplayer + xv + ati linux closed drivers , but vsync problem persists... any help? | 23:04 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, good news | 23:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Yes! So that cable betwen the 5500 card and the SB LIVE wasn't needed? unplugged, I'm all good | 23:05 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, well that is for analog | 23:08 |
| tgm4883 | so if you want to use the analog side of the card, you might need it, i'm not sure | 23:08 |
| tgm4883 | IMHO, software encoder cards are more trouble than they are worth | 23:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | Ah, Ok. Man, I owe you huge thanks. You stuck with this for 2 hours. I can't thank you enough. I'm really stoked that it's up | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | and you are better off buying a cheap hardware encoder off of ebay | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | well, it's a sunday afternoon and i'm playing catan. Life's not that rough right now ;) | 23:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | So is this hd5500 a software encoder card? | 23:12 |
| woski | !help | 23:14 |
| Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest84, yea, but that only applies to analog tv. Digital tv is already compressed and thus needs no hardware encoder | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | it just records it to the disk | 23:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | But the CPU has to decode it to play it on the screen, yes? | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | yes, that or your video card does | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | but that doesn't have anything to do with encoding, that is decoding | 23:16 |
| woski | getting the lcd/ir on this antec case is giving me fits. anyone know about these things? | 23:19 |
| tgm4883 | woski, blank antec fusion? | 23:19 |
| tgm4883 | black i mean | 23:20 |
| woski | antec fusion, yes. but silver. why does there seem to be a difference between frontside color/ | 23:20 |
| tgm4883 | they use different lcd's | 23:20 |
| woski | wow. | 23:20 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, might be able to help you | 23:21 |
| tgm4883 | i have a black one though | 23:21 |
| woski | you'd think the only thing different they'd use would be...paint? | 23:21 |
| tgm4883 | you would think | 23:21 |
| tgm4883 | it's odd though | 23:21 |
| tgm4883 | you can try the instructions for the black one if you want | 23:22 |
| tgm4883 | !%antec% | 23:22 |
| Zinn | If you are having trouble setting up the LCD on the Antec Fusion v2 Black or its other integrated devices, check out this Wiki Article: http://wiki.foxmediasystems.com/index.php/Antec_Fusion_v2_Black_LCD | 23:22 |
| woski | see, i've gone through several very thorough walkthroughs on the subject. none have worked | 23:22 |
| woski | whats the components on the black? mine are imon lcd (non-vfd) | 23:23 |
| woski | i'll see what this link you sent me does and get back to you. thanks! | 23:25 |
| rogue780 | howdy | 23:46 |
| tgm4883 | !hi | 23:47 |
| Zinn | Hi $nick, how are you? Something we can help you with today? | 23:47 |
| defendguin | is there a way to start applications from the xfce desktop using the remote? | 23:55 |
| tgm4883 | defendguin, you would need a script to do so | 23:57 |
| tgm4883 | and use irexec | 23:57 |
| defendguin | i thought there was a way i could just use an lirc config fle or something to just get the menu to open and work it from there | 23:58 |
| tgm4883 | afaik, you can't do that | 23:59 |
| defendguin | thats pretty lame | 23:59 |
| tgm4883 | um, ok? | 23:59 |
