=== gbutters is now known as gbutters_away === gbutters_away is now known as gbutters [03:23] hi, what is the secret to getting audio over HDMI with Mythbuntu 9.04? [03:23] did it go gold? [03:23] nope RC at the moment [03:24] Gold next week [03:24] right on! can you get audio with 8.10 ? [03:24] just a sec [03:24] have not tried [03:24] which graphics card? [03:25] IGP 8300 NVIDIA [03:25] or mobo [03:25] let me know, because I'm looking to do just that :-) [03:25] are there mplayer improvements in 9.04 ? [03:25] Asus m3n78-EM [03:26] what I cannot find in mythbuntu is the Volume Control in the XFCE desktop [03:26] I havent done it but they this [03:26] http://www.goingson.be/2008/12/ubuntu-and-hdmi-audio-output.html [03:27] from what I have, it seems that I need to unmute it there [03:27] if you go to a console and type this: [03:27] i.e. from what I have read [03:27] sudo alsamixer [03:27] yep, I can get to alsamixer [03:27] oh yeah alsamixer is nice [03:27] also get the latest Nvidia drivers [03:27] and all looks good there [03:28] I have 180.22 [03:28] try [03:28] gnome-volume-control [03:28] and check if IEC958 is turned on [03:29] Just going to have a shower [03:29] keep posting and I will read the backlog in a sec [03:29] ok...thanks [03:31] IEC958 is on I believe, i.e. I am not sure how to make any changes to it in alsamixer [03:36] what is the output of 'aplay -l" [03:41] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [03:41] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] [03:41] Subdevices: 1/1 [03:41] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [03:41] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] [03:41] Subdevices: 1/1 [03:41] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [03:41] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] [03:41] Subdevices: 1/1 [03:41] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [03:43] does mythbuntu 8.1 or 9.04 support vdpau? [03:43] no [03:43] only trunk [03:43] thx [03:48] I also installed ALSA 1.0.19 [03:48] ahh ok [03:48] using the upgrade script in the ubuntu forums [03:48] I was just reading that 1.0.18a needed compiling from source [03:48] with that script [03:48] so thats good [03:48] thinking it would solve it automatically [03:49] try a google search for enabling IEC958 in mythbuntu [03:50] got it [03:50] go to alsamixer [03:50] scroll to the right [03:50] so steps 4 and 5 from the link you sent me, as I suspect is where my issue is and I just need to do those [03:50] will the 9.04 upgrade mess up my custom stuff to mount my apple Air disk and whatnot? [03:50] you will see IEC958 [03:50] yep [03:51] I see it [03:51] press space [03:51] or something [03:52] right, nothing happens, it still has 00 [03:52] here is what it has on top: [03:52] Card: HDA NVidia x [03:52] x Chip: Nvidia MCP78 HDMI x [03:52] x View: [Playback] Capture All x [03:52] is there just one entre or 2 [03:52] x Item: IEC958 Default PCM [03:52] try to use pastebin.org if you can [03:53] three actually, IEC958, IEC958 Default PCM, and IEC958 1 [03:53] got it [03:53] try pressing '>' or '<' [03:54] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m7a0f0672 [03:55] bugger so they are all enabled [03:56] have you looked at this? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki?title=AllensDigitalAudioHowto#Enable_desired_iec958_output [03:56] yep, > or < is turning them off [03:57] neoneddy_, sorry mate i am not sure [03:57] That link actually seems pretty comprehensive [03:58] wombo, so I half forgot everything I did.. I hope it works :-) [03:58] haha [03:58] KNIGHT3000: even in jaunty my ALC889A is not properly detected. [03:59] A speaker test does work over hdmi, but I can't get mythtv output over HDMI. [04:01] I'll be happy with a speaker test working as I think mythtv should work [04:01] here is a post with the mobo I have [04:01] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1895025&postcount=85 [04:02] although it is not specific to mythtv [04:03] KNIGHT3000: hmm, I'll have to try muting all the IEC958 devices. Although, ideally, I'd like both HDMI -> TV, and S/PDIF -> Receiver. [04:04] This is the mobo I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128363 [04:04] why muting? was it not that they all needed to be unmuted? [04:05] I'll re-read. I thougth it said to "mute" them. [04:08] KNIGHT3000: you're correct. [04:08] I think I just need for the ALC889A to be supported with a newer alsa release. [04:09] so 1.0.19 does not support it? [04:10] Not that I'm aware of, KNIGHT3000. Did they get that into jaunty recently? On the beta, it was still 1.0.18. [04:10] i have the ALC1200 [04:10] KNIGHT3000, In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig [04:10] is that supported? [04:11] yep, gbutters, I read that today [04:11] did not try [04:13] ok, I add it, do I need to reboot for it to take? [04:14] yes [04:16] alright guys, thanks for the help and pointers. I'll call it a night as I have an early flight in the morning. Hopefully these suggestions does the fix [04:23] BTW - what should the BIOS be set to? [04:23] for the Southbridge? [04:24] Internal & External Codec - HD AUdio - SPDIF [04:24] or [04:24] Internal & External Codec - HD AUdio - HDMI [04:25] I believe somewhere I read states that the HDMI is only for an add-in card and therefore setting should be kept as SPDIF [04:40] KNIGHT3000, In bios try setting SPDIF Mode Setting to HDMI Output [04:41] ok === Shadow__X is now known as Shadow__X1 === Shadow__X1 is now known as Shadow__X [13:52] I am close to building a Mythbuntu box and was wondering if I should wait until all goes digital or use the available tuner cards that are out there now. My thought was the tuner card builders would make there new cards stricly digial and on the same page as the rest of the vendors. Sorry if I sound confussed but I am suffering with the flu and am a bit groggy === gbutters is now known as gbutters_work [19:00] Hi. I installed today mythbuntu on P4 and finally managed to output the view from my Geforce 5200. I have got an "AverTV Super 007" tv card and i wonder why it's not working....does anyone have an idea? Thanks, [19:03] Hi. I installed today mythbuntu on P4 and finally managed to output the view from my Geforce 5200. I have got an "AverTV Super 007" tv card and i wonder why it's not working....does anyone have an idea? Thanks, [19:05] amitizle: try google, I'm not aware if that card works or not [19:06] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/AVerTV_DVB-T_Super_007 [19:07] I am googling all day...i can't find anything [19:10] amitizle: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia_AVerTV_DVB-T_Super_007 [19:10] "It is currently not supported under Linux. However, experimental support exists (see below for details). " [19:12] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-bugs/2007-December/030881.html [19:12] seems to indicate it should be working already [19:14] thanks. but shouldn't it be working already? it say so in the Mythbuntu wiki.. [19:15] Plus those are old posts....in the comments it says that in Hardy it should be working from the box.. [19:17] amitizle, link? [19:17] Sorry. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/177583 look at the comments... [19:18] and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/AVerTV_DVB-T_Super_007 from the wiki [19:19] ok, the second link doesn't say it's supported [19:19] the first link says it should be supported in 8.04, then another comment says that it is not [19:19] have you tested in in other software (like kaffine) [19:20] No i didn't... [19:20] try that, make sure it works out of mythtv first, then we will try inside mythtv [19:21] OK- thanks! [19:30] can some one upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 rc with cd without reformating? [19:31] thedarkone, sure [19:31] !upgrade | thedarkone [19:31] thedarkone: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:32] i only see upgrading to 8.10 [19:33] <_Sleepy_> any1 an idea on how to troubleshoot recording probs? [19:34] <_Sleepy_> (programs to be recorded are written to db, but not showing in upcoming recording list) [19:45] thedarkone: ever get your firewire working? [20:00] not worth it rhpot [20:00] hdtv are encrypted with 5c [20:05] thedarkone: by law the have to give you your locals in HD at least (there are some that don't obey though) [20:05] but ya if you don't get anything else its easier to just get a HDHR and not mess with the firewire [20:17] <_Sleepy_> hmm, no one? [20:19] !logs | _Sleepy_ [20:19] _Sleepy_: 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. [20:22] <_Sleepy_> I know, but nothing interesting to find there :-) [20:23] _Sleepy_, well if there is nothing interesting, then it must work right ;) [20:32] <_Sleepy_> that's what it _should_ do, indeed [20:47] rhpot1991 can you recommand a good one [20:47] thedarkone: a good what, HD tunner? [20:48] yes a hdtuner [20:48] HDHR :) [20:48] yeah what model [20:48] most of the devs here use one [20:48] there is only one I think [20:49] thedarkone: http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun_atsc [20:49] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815327005&Tpk=hdhomerun [20:49] might be able to shop and find it a little cheaper, newegg has had it for 140 every now and then [20:51] well how u hook it up [20:51] since there only a eth port [20:52] just attach it to your network [20:52] I have heard of some people doing a crossover cable to a dedicated ethernet port too, but odds are that isn't needed [20:53] well looks like it will be a pain [20:54] Hey dear helpers...i've managed to setup my AverTV super 007 by installing the new v4l-dvb drivers. The problem is that that it's working on TvTime but not on MythTV! What can i do? [20:56] thedarkone: it works OOB, dual tuner, and isn't too badly priced. If you prefer something internal then do your research as to how hard its gonna be to get working first [21:01] cool [21:07] How do I change the res on mythbuntu via SSH as my TV can't cope with whatever its putting out? Any ideas appreciated? [21:11] Elive_user31_en, you can try DISPLAY=:0 xrandr [21:11] see if it tells you available resolutions [21:11] if so, you can run DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s NUMBER where NUMBER is the one you want [21:11] hmm ok I'll try that now, thanks [21:12] what do you mean by number? [21:13] its listing some available output modes [21:15] so choose one of them [21:15] eg 1024x768 [21:15] or 1280x1024 etc [21:16] ah ok.. I'll give it a whirl :-) [21:21] whatz new in 9.04 [21:23] Anyone? [21:24] When i get into my setup screen i can choose my tv capture and mythtv recognize it, but i still can't watch tv [21:25] what happens when you try to watch tv? [21:26] It just not doing anything [21:26] black screen for a sec then back to the gui [21:26] ok, that's something :) [21:26] :-) [21:26] check the permissins of your recordings directory, make sure it's writable by the mythtv user [21:27] check the backend logs for error messages /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [21:27] if you don't see anything specific post them to a pastebin [21:28] 1) Thanks, how do i do that? 2) What should choose for dvb-analog card? MPEG? Analog-V4L?
