| Zinn | If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 00:29 |
| upgrade_help | hi, i tried an apt-get upgrade and I now have a list of 155 packages that are not upgraded.. they have been "kept back" | 00:41 |

| DisabledDuck | so i have an nVidia board and i'm trying to use audio, but whenever i enable IEC958 and Independed HP channel and leave and go back, it's still disabled, any ideas? | 01:53 |
| Idespnnr | anyone have any input on mythbuntu vs boxee? | 02:18 |
| Shadow__X | if you are going to record use mythtv | 02:19 |
| Shadow__X | if not dont use mythtv | 02:19 |
| Shadow__X | pretty simple | 02:20 |
| === MythbuntuGuest08 is now known as elgordo123 | ||
| Shadow__X | Idespnnr, you there | 02:34 |
| Idespnnr | Shadow__X: yea | 02:53 |
| Idespnnr | what? | 02:53 |
| Idespnnr | use mythtv no matter what? | 02:54 |
| Idespnnr | sounds kinda 1 sided | 02:54 |
| Shadow__X | Idespnnr, no i said if you dont plan on recordding tv use boxee | 03:00 |
| Shadow__X | if you ARE going to record mythtv | 03:00 |
| Idespnnr | ah ok, thanks for th clarification | 03:00 |
| Idespnnr | I dont plan on recording tv | 03:00 |
| Shadow__X | ok yup | 03:00 |
| Shadow__X | i mean mythtv is alot of great stuff | 03:00 |
| Shadow__X | but if you arent going to record tv i dont really see the point | 03:01 |
| Shadow__X | but thats me | 03:01 |
| Idespnnr | fair enough... Ive bounced through several media center solutions | 03:01 |
| Idespnnr | havent given mythtv a run yet | 03:01 |
| Idespnnr | but I like the boxee + hulu support | 03:01 |
| Shadow__X | right i mean technically there is mythvodka but i dont know how well it is supported | 03:04 |

| MythbuntuGuest14 | hey! uhm im really interested in mythbuntu since im using windows with mediaportal - but i want to try linux. now to my question: will my hdmi output work on my asus p5n em motherboard? what about audio? | 09:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | and is 1080p supported? | 09:31 |
| hads | 1080 is not an issue. HDMI can be difficult, you may not know 'til you try. | 09:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | ic | 09:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | what if i use a dvi output with an adapter? | 09:32 |
| hads | Should be fine. | 09:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | cool | 09:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | ill try | 09:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | dling right now | 09:32 |
| hads | You can always dual boot and see how it goes. | 09:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | yea that's the plan | 09:32 |
| hads | MythTV has it's quirks but overall it's a great piece of software. | 09:33 |
| hads | and mythbuntu makes it quite nice to use. | 09:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | yea i heard | 09:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i really like the idea behind linux and i try to use it as often as possible but i often get to a point that i can't overcome and then im forced to use windows again | 09:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | but I'm getting better and better slowly but steady | 09:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | ;-) | 09:35 |
| hads | Understandable :) | 09:35 |
| hads | You'll get there one day :) | 09:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | hope so =D | 09:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i always get envious when i read an blogpost or something similar saying: ah recently i solved my problem xy, you just had to edit file XYZ here and restart the service there..." etc etc | 09:37 |
| hads | I haven't had a Windows install since about 2000 and am much happier for it. | 09:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | u bet | 09:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i bet | 09:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | >_> | 09:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i need to use window at least for work since they use some stupid dlls that are only supported in internet explorer | 09:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i've never seen anything like that before | 09:39 |
| hads | Yeah, I lied a little, I have to keep a virtual Windows install for testing websites etc. | 09:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | *g* | 09:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | what's a virtual windows install? i only know about Xen | 09:40 |
| hads | There's virtualbox, kvm and vmware (non-free) | 09:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | ah download's finished | 09:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | ah ic | 09:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | is ther anything new in mythbuntu since 8.04? that's the last one i tried | 09:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | *there | 09:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | closed the window by accident | 09:43 |
| hads | Newer versions of things and better integration I guess. | 09:45 |
| hads | The same mythtv version (with more bugfixes) | 09:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | kk | 09:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | but no bluray support i guess | 09:46 |
| hads | AFAIK no, but I don't use it. | 09:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | hdmi output worked in installation setup.... now stupid me has activated tv output and the nvidia drivers | 10:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | will that change the default scrren to tv output? | 10:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest11 | atm it's still copying files in the isntallation | 10:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest84 | hello, all! | 10:29 |

| NcA^ | hey all | 19:20 |
| NcA^ | was wondering if I could get some advice? | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | !ask | 19:24 |
| Zinn | Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. | 19:24 |
| NcA^ | Ok, It's just a fairly long-winded question regarding my proposed home network/media setup. | 19:25 |
| NcA^ | End Goal; I'd like to have a back-end server running fileshares/bittorrent/rdp with QoS traffic-flow priorities, my main PC running Ubuntu 9.04 and generally getting abused, and my HTPC running Mythbuntu Frontend & being able to use one of the HDD's for recording TV. | 19:27 |
| NcA^ | At the moment, I have just switched to Ubuntu 9.04 on my main PC, Have my HTPC running Win7 Media Center, and have everything but a PSU to get the server portion up and running. At the moment, my Media files (music/video) are on an NTFS formatted HDD in my main PC, which I'm intending to move over to the server when I get it up and running. | 19:30 |
| rhpot1991 | NcA^: so what is the question? | 19:31 |
| NcA^ | I told you it was long-winded :P | 19:31 |
| NcA^ | I'm just looking for some advice on how to get this all done, and set up ideally before I go ahead and start ripping out hardware | 19:31 |
| NcA^ | First real question, I have 2 choices for the mobo/cpu combos, I have a P4 3.0 w/ HT in my HTPC now, which Ideally I'd like to have in my Server | 19:33 |
| NcA^ | The other mobo/cpu is an Athlon x64 2200+ | 19:33 |
| rhpot1991 | HD or SD video? | 19:34 |
| NcA^ | Got a WinTV HVR-1600 so HD | 19:34 |
| NcA^ | through Comcast, so not really going to be getting much through ClearQAM | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | HD playback is very intensive | 19:34 |
| NcA^ | Aye, I've been getting a lot of 1080/720p .mkv's lately too | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | its recommended you use a dual core cpu for that, I think the minimum recomendation is a 3.0ghz cpu | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | you can sometimes offload some work onto your video card instead, but in general you want a beefy cpu for that | 19:35 |
| NcA^ | do you think that the athlon 2200 could keep up with running the mythTV backend as well as a BT client without hanging? | 19:36 |
| NcA^ | I've got an ATi x1650pro to throw in there | 19:36 |
| NcA^ | which will help a bit | 19:36 |
| NcA^ | but I've been reading that you lot really don't reccommend ATi cards | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | ya nvidia generally works more easily | 19:37 |
| rhpot1991 | backend is a different story, you can skimp on the cpu there and you wont notice it as much, things like commercial flagging are going to take a little longer though | 19:37 |
| NcA^ | aye ATi's kinda screwed anyone with an older card than the HD3000 series for drivers lately too | 19:37 |
| NcA^ | Got 2Gb of RAM for both of the systems | 19:38 |
| NcA^ | just worried about the torrent client killing off the backend for streaming videos | 19:38 |
| NcA^ | especially with large .mkv format | 19:38 |
| rhpot1991 | can't say for sure, but I'd venture you would be ok | 19:39 |
| NcA^ | so which chip would you advise to use for the server? | 19:39 |
| NcA^ | personal opinion | 19:39 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd use the more powerful one for the frontend | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | you will notice a lack of cpu a lot more when trying to play back HD video | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | does your capture card do hardware encoding or software? | 19:41 |
| NcA^ | I believe it's hardware | 19:41 |
| NcA^ | it looks like there's drivers out there too | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | good, then cpu isn't much of a concern for the backend then | 19:41 |
| NcA^ | but they don't look like the best supported | 19:41 |
| NcA^ | I'll be using the capture card on the frontend most likely | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | you could always run them both on the same box as well, once again your cpu might be a little strapped for that with HD playback | 19:42 |
| rhpot1991 | capture card needs to live on A backend, you can have multiple though | 19:42 |
| NcA^ | hmm | 19:42 |
| NcA^ | that's doable as well | 19:42 |
| NcA^ | it'll create a lot of network traffic to stream the HD | 19:42 |
| NcA^ | which I'm sure my housemates will give me shit for :s | 19:43 |
| Zinn | NcA^: Please watch your language. | 19:43 |
| NcA^ | :x | 19:43 |
| NcA^ | the other thing I've been stressing about it having this NTFS formatted drive with all my media on it | 19:44 |
| NcA^ | it seems to be working alright with my ubuntu install atm, but I know it's not ideal | 19:44 |
| NcA^ | hence the problem, I have about 500Gb+ of media on there and am not sure how I can get it all off of there safely if I want to reformat | 19:45 |
| NcA^ | Would you take the risk of having to move that amount of data onto 3ish separate drives just to reformat? | 19:46 |
| rhpot1991 | easiest way is to pick up an external drive, good things to have around | 19:46 |
| NcA^ | I've got a 250Gb one, and a spare 320Gb internal SATA lying around | 19:46 |
| NcA^ | and about 100Gb on another of my internal disks | 19:47 |
| NcA^ | bear in mind... I'm unemployed ATM, trying to keep the budget as low as possible, PSU + HTPC case + New router are pretty much Killing the whole budget as it is | 19:50 |
| rhpot1991 | NcA^: don't get a new case then just use what you have, and get a router that can do some of the things you want | 19:51 |
| rhpot1991 | HTPC cases are expensive and don't give you any functionality | 19:51 |
| NcA^ | problem is; | 19:52 |
| NcA^ | a) I'm vain when it comes to HT components | 19:53 |
| NcA^ | aaaannd | 19:53 |
| NcA^ | the AMD platform I've got is currently in... WEll.. I'll get you a link | 19:53 |
| NcA^ | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108058 | 19:54 |
| NcA^ | one of those, that had the PSU die miserably | 19:54 |
| NcA^ | and my HTPC case ATM is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163058 | 19:55 |
| NcA^ | so I'd like something that will fit in the rack | 19:56 |
| rhpot1991 | NcA^: I'd say do it a step at a time | 19:56 |
| rhpot1991 | mess with what you have, when you are happy with it buy new parts | 19:56 |
| rhpot1991 | and then keep adding new parts forever :) | 19:57 |
| NcA^ | haha | 19:57 |
| NcA^ | common problem that :P | 19:57 |
| NcA^ | need a case/PSU one way or another though | 19:57 |
| NcA^ | so does the backend stream the live TV over the LAN? | 19:58 |
| NcA^ | what sort of load are we talking about overall? | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | will work fine withing a 100 base network without interfering with anything | 20:01 |
| rhpot1991 | wireless should normally be avoided | 20:01 |
| NcA^ | aye, I found that out using Win Media Center :/ | 20:02 |
| NcA^ | Dodgy 802.11g + HD = :'( | 20:03 |
| Essobi | Meh.. I can't get firewire to work with my Motorola 6412. :| | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | Essobi: check for encryption? | 20:04 |
| Essobi | rhpot1991: I can' get any of the test programs or the channel changer to work... I have some channels that arn't drmed. | 20:06 |
| Essobi | rhpot1991: well.. the p2p fails but the broadcast mode test worked.. but the channel changer isn't working at all.. | 20:06 |
| rhpot1991 | morotola likes broadcast | 20:06 |
| rhpot1991 | your model number isn't somthing I'm used to seeing either, that may be an issue | 20:07 |
| Essobi | yea.. I see docs everywhere on the 62XX but not much on the 64XX... | 20:07 |
| === MythbuntuGuest37 is now known as eminem | ||
| Essobi | but the 64XX is listed in the channel changer source.. | 20:07 |
| === eminem is now known as elgordo123 | ||
| Essobi | but the model/dev ids didn't match.. so I changed the source to match them, and it ignores the channel change. | 20:07 |
| Essobi | I think what I'd like to do is get a controlable 4x4 matrix switch... put Mythtv on one input and another cat box on the 2nd, then run the outs to all four of my TVs.. | 20:09 |
| Essobi | s/cat/cable/ | 20:09 |
| Essobi | I may have to restore to using IR if I can't get the firewire changing working thou.. | 20:10 |
| Essobi | restort even.. ehh, I can't type today. | 20:10 |
| rhpot1991 | Essobi: PM Majoridiot on the forums, he might know more about that model | 20:10 |
| Essobi | roger that | 20:10 |
| elgordo123 | Try to check the knoppmyth forums too. They were doing a lot with firewire channel changing | 20:12 |
| Essobi | Yea? Cool.. | 20:12 |
| rhpot1991 | Essobi: check for posts by majoridiot in the forums too, he released a bunch of tools for firewire | 20:13 |
| rhpot1991 | if your doesn't play nice none of it will help though | 20:13 |
| * rhpot1991 has a few motorolla dch-3200s | 20:13 | |
| Essobi | rhpot1991: cool, thanks. | 20:17 |
| Essobi | 3200s dual tuner? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | nope | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | single, but I have 3 of them | 20:17 |
| Essobi | Nice.. | 20:17 |
| Essobi | Firewire? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | ya | 20:17 |
| Essobi | How's the 5c in your area? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | decent, I can pick up most HD channels | 20:18 |
| rhpot1991 | a few are problem children, but I just ignore them now | 20:18 |
| rhpot1991 | get things like discovery and espn, and then I have a hdhr for my locals | 20:18 |
| Essobi | there seems to be tons of channels with the drm set to 0x2 in my package. :( | 20:19 |
| Essobi | Even the kids cartoon channels! | 20:20 |
| Essobi | Think I'd rather just get like... 3 units.. 2 on capture with haup 150s or something.. and the third on a 4x4 controlable matrix.. | 20:20 |
| r3vile | rhpot1991 are you ignoring my pns ? :P | 20:21 |
| Essobi | I need to hack up PS3 bluetooth controls thou for multiple remotes on different X heads.. | 20:21 |
| Essobi | .... | 20:21 |
| Essobi | you 'pns'? | 20:21 |
| Essobi | your... heh. | 20:21 |
| r3vile | ? | 20:21 |
| r3vile | are you ;) | 20:21 |
| Essobi | you meant PMs, right? | 20:22 |
| r3vile | oO .. i mean PM ;) | 20:22 |
| r3vile | in German its PN :P | 20:22 |
| Essobi | Had to point that out.. I pronounced it... Peee-Ennnn-esss... and promptly got odd looks for LOLing. | 20:26 |
| rhpot1991 | r3vile: you should prob use the custom configuration in MCC and plug in values there | 20:28 |
| foxbuntu | r3vile, its not polite to PM someone that does not ask you to do so. If you have a question please ask it in the open irc channel and wait for help. | 20:28 |
| rhpot1991 | you have a config problem which is why it isn't starting, fix that and you should be good | 20:28 |
| rhpot1991 | Essobi: a lot of my digital channels are encrypted but I generally only care about the HD ones | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | its a rarity to have acess actually, I believe law only says that they have to give you locals | 20:31 |
| Essobi | rhpot1991: Oh... that bites. | 20:49 |
| r3vile | I want to use a remote, which is not listed in MCC, so i took custom ... what do i have to do now? (my Remote: Technisat TTS35AI) | 21:08 |
| r3vile | how do i have to edit the hardware.conf | 21:20 |
| BaZiL | Hmm . i upgraded from an old version to 8.10 of mythbuntu .. i can see the startup . the logo of mythbuntu .. and i can eaven hear the sound of the computer loging in .. but as soon as its suppose to login .. my tv goes black .. what 2 do ? | 21:41 |
| Essobi | Bleh. | 22:10 |
