CarlFKjust installed myth, never used it before.  I have a bunch of .mp4 flies on the local drive.  how do I play them?03:04
Shadow__XCarlFK, setup mythvideo03:35
Shadow__XCarlFK, do you have tuners?03:35
CarlFKno tuners03:35
Shadow__Xthe reason why i ask is because mythtv is designed to record tv03:35
Shadow__Xdo you plan to record tv also to watch the files you setup mythvideo03:36
CarlFKno - just play files and internet streams03:36
Shadow__Xhmm if thats your main focus i would recommend using something else than mythtv because it is abit complex just to do that03:37
Shadow__Xbut thats me03:37
Shadow__Xi mean its a great dvr and it plays files fine its just thats what it was designed to do03:37
CarlFKkinda just checking it out03:37
Shadow__Xah ok well than03:38
CarlFKhoping it would make it easier to make my remote work - I have gotten it to work before, but its a bit of work03:38
Shadow__Xwell you have to see if its supported03:38
CarlFKhow do I use mythvideo?03:38
Shadow__Xdo you have the frontend and backend installed and configured03:39
Shadow__Xhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index03:39
CarlFKI installed mythbuntu-desktop03:40
Shadow__Xthat explains everything03:40
Shadow__Xso you know what you can do03:40
Shadow__Xi mean to get the full feel of mythtv you buy a tuner or two and setup recordings03:40
Shadow__Xthas how you know its great03:40
MythbuntuGuest79is it possible to write your own information or synopsis in mythvideo section?03:41
Shadow__XMythbuntuGuest79, you mean per file03:42
MythbuntuGuest79yes if i put a video on my machine that imdb does not have any info on, can i add my own03:45
MythbuntuGuest79i can do the cover art... but not any info03:45
Shadow__Xhmm i am not sure on that03:45
Shadow__XCarlFK, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo03:46
MythbuntuGuest79i have read the wiki, but i have not found anything on what i am looking to do03:47
Shadow__Xright i am looking i am not sure03:47
CarlFKShadow__X: thanks04:07
Shadow__Xyup04:33
hadsYeah, there's xbmc, elisa and other things more suitable for just watching media.05:01
Shadow__Xyup hads i mean i dont like turning people away but they wont appreciate all of mythtv unless they record imo05:03
hadsMythvideo is pretty good, but there's more functional things out there if you're just watching videos.05:07
Shadow__Xright thats what i am saying05:25
Shadow__Xi am testing out xbmc just to give it a shot05:25
Shadow__Xbut i will always have mythtv running and recording05:25
guitarlessonHello05:31
guitarlessonanyone awake?05:31
Shadow__X!ask05:32
ZinnPlease 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.05:32
guitarlessonyikes05:33
Shadow__Xguitarlesson, i am awake for now05:33
guitarlessonNo offense intended Zinn, anyway... I have an interesting situation...05:34
guitarlessonbear with me, as I type slowly05:35
Shadow__Xok05:35
guitarlessonI just attempted to install MB on my mediacenter. My TV does not recognize the default resolution of the installer, so the TV displays an error. It recognises 800x600, 1024x768, etc, so I'm not sure why. I don't even own a monitor to hook up to it (just a 720p HDTV.) Has anyone else run into this issue, and how might one get around it?05:38
guitarlessonSide note: I just installed a Hacked Mac OS and WinXP on separate partitions with no issues.05:41
Shadow__Xguitarlesson, first issues will occur depending on video card also what interface you use to connect to the tv05:43
Shadow__Xalso live mode should work05:43
guitarlessonIt's GMA 950 to VGA. (I know, lame. Will be upgraded later, but not for a while)05:46
guitarlessonI tried live mode and the same thing happened.05:46
guitarlessonis GMA 950 an issue?05:47
Shadow__Xhmm i believe so05:47
Shadow__Xwhat mythbuntu version are you trying05:47
Shadow__X9.04?05:47
Shadow__Xi have heard there where issues with intel cards but i can not confirm that05:47
Shadow__Xi would try mythbuntu 8.1005:48
guitarlesson9.04... but come to think of it, I may have the 64 bit version. Maybe I should also try i38605:50
Shadow__Xno its the same try 8.1005:50
guitarlessonok... 64 vs. 32 is no issue? My system is new, so I would think not.05:51

KNIGHT3000Hi, if I am getting static sound from audio using HDMI, what should I be looking to fix?16:40
zzok so i finally got my card working with vlc and mplayer and all that and i can tune it via ivtv-tune like someone suggested here, thank you so much! is there anyway to tune it inside of vlc or mplayer or something else or do i need to exit then tune then restart?19:15
zzok so i can tune it while it's on, now to either make a little program or find something that has a pull down menu or a bunch of buttons that have preset channels to click on and change it while watching19:44
zzhave a c book here ... am going to look into it next weekend thanks guys lol19:44
