| unimaginative | How can I find out what codecs specific video file needs to play? | 04:12 |
| unimaginative | I want to turn on the -v playback option in mythfrontend. mythfrontend automatically logs in and starts on my system. Where can I find the start script to add that option? | 04:16 |
| asphere | unimaginative: GSpot on windows works well. But I don't know what nix programs are out there | 04:18 |
| asphere | and for startup... start in ~/.config/autostart | 04:19 |
| asphere | symlink there to a directory with a pile of scripts | 04:19 |
| unimaginative | there is not an 'autostart' directory in /home/mythtv/.config/ | 04:20 |
| asphere | ah. I'm running 8.10 which launches frontend from my user account, not mythtv | 04:20 |
| asphere | have a different user login? | 04:20 |
| unimaginative | I have a user login also, but if I leave it alone, 'mythtv' is automatically logged in | 04:21 |
| asphere | hmm. dunno. maybe someone else will be smarter than me. | 04:21 |
| unimaginative | and gspot doesnt appear to be giving me any useful info | 04:24 |
| unimaginative | it's calling it a mpeg-2 transport stream | 04:24 |
| unimaginative | it's a .ts file | 04:24 |
| asphere | unimaginative: re autostart, Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Autostarted Apps | 04:26 |
| unimaginative | hmm. | 04:27 |
| asphere | ..and mpeg-2 is your answer right? you'll need an mpeg-2 decoder to play it? | 04:27 |
| unimaginative | hmm | 04:27 |
| unimaginative | I have that already...... | 04:27 |
| unimaginative | I think it's just an mpeg-2 container | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, try avidemux-gtk | 04:27 |
| unimaginative | foxbuntu, just a second | 04:27 |
| unimaginative | okay | 04:28 |
| unimaginative | mplayer plays the file back just fine | 04:29 |
| unimaginative | but mythtv is stupid | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, whats your issue? | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, your trying to get a video with .ts extension to play? | 04:29 |
| unimaginative | I'm trying to play back this digital copy of Planet Earth in mythbuntu | 04:29 |
| unimaginative | When I attempt to play the .ts file, I get audio, but no video | 04:30 |
| unimaginative | just a black screen | 04:30 |
| unimaginative | using the "Internal" player | 04:30 |
| unimaginative | when I attempt playback using mplayer, the video plays back without any obvious problems | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, you can change myth to use mplayer | 04:32 |
| unimaginative | i'd rather handle it internally if possible | 04:32 |
| unimaginative | mplayer has been quirky with me in the past | 04:33 |
| unimaginative | If internal is not an option, then I agree, using mplayer is the best alternative. | 04:33 |
| asphere | unimaginative: maybe play around with xine as well. I prefer it for my mythtv video player over mplayer | 04:34 |
| unimaginative | asphere, also a good idea, thanks. | 04:35 |
| * asphere uses "xine -pfhq -u 0 --no-splash" | 04:36 | |
| unimaginative | okay, I just switched to mplayer for now | 04:39 |
| unimaginative | now I need to set remote codes to control mplayer :) | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, use mythbuntu-lircrc-generator, it builds for mplayer automagically | 04:39 |
| unimaginative | foxbuntu, I run a custom lircrc, to allow two remotes to control my frontend, with two blasters.. Will mythbuntu-lircrc-generator screw all that up? | 04:43 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, you can have it build for mplayer only | 04:44 |
| unimaginative | awesome, then append that to my existing lircrc | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, look at the --help menu with it figure what the switch is for it... | 04:45 |
| unimaginative | thanks! | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | unimaginative, yup | 04:45 |
| TazgodX | is it possible to get whatever user (i believe its www) who uploads from mythtweb to be part of mythtv so when i upload images of movies on the mythweb interface they show up in the frontend without me having to change permissions? | 10:25 |
| waxhead_ | hi everyone... | 11:08 |
| waxhead_ | I've been playing iwth encoding mkv with h264. I'm running mythbuntu 8.10, but I've seen that the -fixes branch fixes a few issues up... | 11:09 |
| foxbuntu | TazgodX, actually, you just need to change permissions of the folders so its something like mythtv:www-data | 16:04 |
| foxbuntu | that should allow the permissions you are looking for | 16:05 |
| abarbaccia | hey guys i recently added mythbuntu-weeklys to my boxes for testing out 0.22 | 17:47 |
| abarbaccia | im having trouble upgrading the database with an error like: This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet | 17:47 |
| abarbaccia | when changing to the latin1 charset. known bug? | 17:47 |
| karlec | Can anyone offer some help with the HVR1800. I'm only getting static through the spdif connection to my receiver. | 19:23 |
| foxbuntu | karlec, sounds like you havent enabled AC3 and DTS passthrough to IEC958 | 20:03 |
| Rev_Baphomet | probably a subjective question but I'll ask it anyway, if i get a homerunHD box and have an internal video card for playback, would anyone care to render an educated guess as to what sort of processor i'd need in the box | 20:23 |
| Rev_Baphomet | i ask because i keep seeing 2.8ghz brandied about, and that seems high given the offloading. | 20:25 |
| karlec | Thanks foxbuntu, but I believe that I did. I have followed a few guides on the forum with no success. I also have a PVR500 which works fine (sound and video) in Mythtv. | 20:51 |
| tatel | hello, i've a problem. im run with mythbuntu 8.10. when i boot the pc, tvout signal is on but when mythbuntu starts the svideo signal is off | 20:57 |
| karlec | anyone using the HVR1800 successfully? | 23:52 |
