[00:00] no [04:12] How can I find out what codecs specific video file needs to play? [04:16] 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? [04:18] unimaginative: GSpot on windows works well. But I don't know what nix programs are out there [04:19] and for startup... start in ~/.config/autostart [04:19] symlink there to a directory with a pile of scripts [04:20] there is not an 'autostart' directory in /home/mythtv/.config/ [04:20] ah. I'm running 8.10 which launches frontend from my user account, not mythtv [04:20] have a different user login? [04:21] I have a user login also, but if I leave it alone, 'mythtv' is automatically logged in [04:21] hmm. dunno. maybe someone else will be smarter than me. [04:24] and gspot doesnt appear to be giving me any useful info [04:24] it's calling it a mpeg-2 transport stream [04:24] it's a .ts file [04:26] unimaginative: re autostart, Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Autostarted Apps [04:27] hmm. [04:27] ..and mpeg-2 is your answer right? you'll need an mpeg-2 decoder to play it? [04:27] hmm [04:27] I have that already...... [04:27] I think it's just an mpeg-2 container [04:27] unimaginative, try avidemux-gtk [04:27] foxbuntu, just a second [04:28] okay [04:29] mplayer plays the file back just fine [04:29] but mythtv is stupid [04:29] unimaginative, whats your issue? [04:29] unimaginative, your trying to get a video with .ts extension to play? [04:29] I'm trying to play back this digital copy of Planet Earth in mythbuntu [04:30] When I attempt to play the .ts file, I get audio, but no video [04:30] just a black screen [04:30] using the "Internal" player [04:30] when I attempt playback using mplayer, the video plays back without any obvious problems [04:32] unimaginative, you can change myth to use mplayer [04:32] i'd rather handle it internally if possible [04:33] mplayer has been quirky with me in the past [04:33] If internal is not an option, then I agree, using mplayer is the best alternative. [04:34] unimaginative: maybe play around with xine as well. I prefer it for my mythtv video player over mplayer [04:35] asphere, also a good idea, thanks. [04:36] * asphere uses "xine -pfhq -u 0 --no-splash" [04:39] okay, I just switched to mplayer for now [04:39] now I need to set remote codes to control mplayer :) [04:39] unimaginative, use mythbuntu-lircrc-generator, it builds for mplayer automagically [04:43] 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? [04:44] unimaginative, you can have it build for mplayer only [04:45] awesome, then append that to my existing lircrc [04:45] unimaginative, look at the --help menu with it figure what the switch is for it... [04:45] thanks! [04:45] unimaginative, yup [10:25] 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? [11:08] hi everyone... [11:09] 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... [16:04] TazgodX, actually, you just need to change permissions of the folders so its something like mythtv:www-data [16:05] that should allow the permissions you are looking for [17:47] hey guys i recently added mythbuntu-weeklys to my boxes for testing out 0.22 [17:47] im having trouble upgrading the database with an error like: This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet [17:47] when changing to the latin1 charset. known bug? [19:23] Can anyone offer some help with the HVR1800. I'm only getting static through the spdif connection to my receiver. [20:03] karlec, sounds like you havent enabled AC3 and DTS passthrough to IEC958 [20:23] 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 [20:25] i ask because i keep seeing 2.8ghz brandied about, and that seems high given the offloading. [20:51] 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. [20:57] 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 [23:52] anyone using the HVR1800 successfully?
