[00:15] !imon [00:15] Sorry I don't know about imon [00:30] is there a way to load subtitles automatically? i have a srt file in the same dir as the .avi with same name [01:42] t [06:39] !help [06:39] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [06:42] hi all [06:45] I've setup a mythbox using mythbuntu 9.04...I'm using a Happuage pvr-250...the system sees it right, setup doesnt cause any problem...but it fails on recording or live tv...any help? [06:46] !blankscreen | dllllx [06:46] dllllx: 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 [06:50] checked...i also have this in /var/log/mythtv/mythtvbackend.log: [06:50] TVRec(1): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV [06:50] 2009-05-18 00:44:02.796 TVRec(1): HW Tuner: 1->1 [06:50] 2009-05-18 00:44:06.828 AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 2.0 GB w/freq: 15 min [06:50] 2009-05-18 00:44:06.839 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Warning: Audio sample rate 32000 Hz [06:50] is not supported by ivtv driver, using 48000 Hz instead. [06:50] 2009-05-18 00:44:12.030 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding [06:50] cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg yields a 0 file [06:51] check dmesg then for ivtv related errors [06:51] none unfortunately :( [06:52] you sure the hardware is fully functional? [06:52] do you have a box that you've (recently) seen it working? [06:52] yes [06:52] also had it in another mythtv box before... [06:53] also...would it then not recognize anything? [06:53] dmesg shows it recognizes the card completely [06:54] well the next logical thing then is to try reseating the card (remove and reinsert into pci slot) [06:54] these days there isnt much configuration necessary otherwise id point you to more softwarish ideas [06:55] ok Ill try, but...wouldnt a badly seated card result in at least some error in loading the drivers and recognizing it? [06:56] dllllx, generally yes it would result in some loading error, but you never know [06:56] it's not going to do any harm to try :) [06:57] anything else I should try before I power it down? [06:59] btw..any other utils around for testing the video? [07:00] dllllx, there is a command line tool for adjusting tuning and what not [07:00] but otherwise no [07:00] cat /var/video0 > test.mpg is the way to go otherewise [07:01] what is the command line tool called? [07:01] v4l2-ctl or maybe v4l-ctl [07:01] i forget [07:16] weird [07:16] it worked...but now I get static [07:17] check the freq table that you have set [07:17] and do a channel scan etc [07:18] missing sound [07:18] make sure you get sound otherwise from an existing file [07:18] such as using aplay etc [07:19] ahh good idea [07:19] one sec [07:23] lol no sound [07:23] umm any idea how's the quickest way to fix that? [07:23] :) [07:23] thanks so much btw for the reseating idea [07:24] yeah np, sometimes ya forget the easy solutions :) [07:24] so for sound, go and check alsamixer [07:24] make sure the right mixers are turned up enough [07:24] pcm, front, master etc [07:25] alsamixer fails [07:25] maybe it didnt recognize the sound...its integrated onto the board... [07:26] make sure it's enabled in the bios [07:26] and check lspci see if it's listed there [07:27] would it show if its integrated onboard in lspci? [07:28] yes [07:28] it's still a pci device [07:28] arg reboot time [07:28] brb :) [07:30] was on in bios [07:31] kernel didnt load/see it I guess [07:31] well is it in lspci? [07:32] nope [07:32] well that's really odd [07:32] lspci should show it regardless of whether there is kernel module to support it [07:32] that's just probing the bus for devices [07:33] i remember sound working on this thing ages ago... [07:33] odd [07:35] well if it's on in the BIOS and not showing up in lspci, not much you can do [07:35] other than pop in another sound card [07:35] im looking it up on the net...may have to get another sound card [07:35] sweet [07:36] hilarious post: [07:36] How reproducible: [07:36] Always [07:36] Steps to Reproduce: [07:36] 1. Find a Dell GX1. [07:36] 2. Install Linux. [07:36] 3. Note that you have no sound and a sound card is not detected. [07:36] [07:36] Expected Results: Auto-detection of sound card. [07:36] haha [07:43] this is a pain [07:55] lspnp shows the sound card [07:55] its an ISA card [07:55] ugh! [07:56] do yourself a favor and put a PCI card in [07:56] you can get a sb live! for like 20-30 dollars [07:56] *sigh* i have one of those back at my parents place [08:02] fixed [08:02] weird [08:02] not sure how it worked though [08:03] umm [08:03] only root can play music [08:03] permission problem? [08:04] Hi, live TV does not work in any of the frontends, I believe is the database. Anyone can help? [08:06] hugolp, the best thing to check is the timezone on the frontend [08:06] make sure it matches the one set on the backend [08:10] superm1: you mean the general time of the machines right? not a parameter inside mythtv [08:10] hugolp, i mean the time zone set on the machine yes [08:15] superm1: where can I change the default sond device in mythfrontend? [08:15] sound device [08:18] superm1: both machines (server and client) are syncronized by ntp [08:18] dllllx, it's set to the default device already, alsa:default [08:18] dllllx, but you can change that in the general section [08:18] hugolp, that doesn't matter if the time zone is set wrong [08:18] hugolp, make sure the value it's set to on both boxes is the same [08:19] both timezones are the same and the correct one [08:19] superm1: this is the third time I install the server with ubuntu 9.04 because of mythtv [08:19] the first two times it was the database [08:20] why so much troubles? [08:20] the two previous times at first the database would not work, but mythweb repair database solved it [08:21] if it was random corruption, it's possible it was caused by an open bug [08:21] bug 326768 [08:21] Bug 326768 in mythbuntu "mysqld_safe thinks mysqld has crashed when it hasn't" [Critical, Triaged] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/326768 [08:21] it's got a fix in -proposed [08:24] superm1: is there any quick fix? [08:24] nite all [08:24] hugolp, yeah, open software-sources-gtk, and hit the proposed checkbox [08:24] upgrade all the mysql packages [08:24] and then turn off proposed [08:24] ok, going to try [08:25] thnx for the help superml [08:26] np, night dllllx [08:41] superm1: ok, seems to be working now, but now that I have you here, I have a bug that its been hapenning in the two previous ubuntu's as well [08:41] I have two channels that are broadcasted in two different frequencies both [08:41] so mythtv-backend when its scanning channels detects them twice [08:41] On of each I disable [08:42] but when I set a recording in on of those channels mythtv does two recordings [08:42] instead of just one [08:42] oh that's weird.. [08:42] I think that because they have the same name, mythtv confuses them [08:43] usually it's not keyed off the name like that [08:43] i've named channels the same and not had that happen [08:43] its there a way to delete a channel from the database, cause I have not seen the option of deleting a single channel in the backend configuration [08:43] superm1: then I dont know, but its weird that exactly happens in those channels [08:43] hugolp, you can delete the channels from the mythweb ui actually [08:43] just make sure you restart the backend after you do [08:44] ok, and one last thing [08:45] in the previous mythtv I would manually set the channel icons manually (btw, the icon downloader is great) [08:45] now I use the icon downloader and I see the icons in the program list, but I dont see the icons when I am changing channel in live tv [08:46] I think its because they are not directly shared by nfs like they were when I did it manually [08:46] no they're not unfortunately [08:46] you can scp them around though [08:46] they're stored in ~ i think [08:47] ok, why is it that the program list "sees" them and the live tv dont? [08:47] oh hm [08:47] you got me [08:48] ok, I will create a soft link [08:48] thanks a lot [08:48] yup [10:56] hi what kernel v is Mythbuntu 9.04 running by default? [11:04] hot_wheelz: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview#Linux%20kernel%202.6.28 [11:08] henkpoley so Mybuntu runs the kernel version as regular Ubuntu 9.04 then right? [11:09] hot_wheelz: yup default kernel, they even use ubuntu's own repositories [11:10] hot_wheelz: you could install ubuntu and then just install mythbuntu-desktop and you could do mostly the same things [11:11] I'm not sure if the mythbuntu CD installer does some automagic detection stuff, that might be missing then [11:25] sorry guys i fell off [11:27] my issue is i am runnig a DNTV Live Dual Hybrid PCI-E S2 anyone know them? [11:32] they use philips chip saa7162 is the main one I could get mythbuntu to see it always getting failed to open with every likley card option i tried..and i was told there was support in the kernel any ideas? [11:33] hot_wheelz: tried reading `dmesg` ? [11:33] Like `dmesg | grep saa` on the commandline [11:50] henkpoley ok then what that will tell you if they exist right? [11:59] henkpoley i have to go i'll try it and get back to you [13:30] superm1, remember you gave me bzr link for trunk do you have the address for svn fixes [13:41] found it [13:52] Morning. [13:52] Meh.. [13:53] I figured out what was wrong with my latest myth install.. [13:53] The intel Xorg driver is broken. :P [13:53] s/myth/mythbuntu/ [14:15] Essobi: Downgrade to the LTS (8.04 ?) mythbuntu, or find the fixes for the Intel driver, some are out there [14:15] Essobi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Performance%20regressions%20on%20Intel%20graphics%20cards [14:16] There are other intel gfx problems/fixes mentioned on that page [15:28] Okay, so I have restored my database from backup and I am back to Ubuntu Jaunty's mythtv (not weeklies) [15:28] What is the preferred way to fix moved (by cable provider) DVB-C frequencies ? [15:47] henkpoley: I already downgraded the video driver. [15:50] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_osx_64bit&num=11 [15:50] anyone had any luck getting an ati remote wonder to work properly with mythbuntu? [15:51] most of the keys don't do anything (although they show up in xev) [16:17] hey CShadowRun [16:18] hey Daviey :D [16:18] yes.. should work dandy.. it's possible your remote is not the ones we have in the setting. There is a wiki page explaining how to roll your own config, and this may be suotable [16:18] didn't see you there :) [16:18] suitable* [16:18] if so, raise a bug :) [16:18] yea i'm trying to make the thing on the wiki work now, not having much luck [16:18] i did get the remote to talk to irrecord though, so thats a start \o/ [16:20] correction, looks like i have sucess :D [16:21] yup, sucess, yay :D [16:22] \o/ [16:22] what was it? [16:23] i didn't use lircd.conf, hehe [16:23] i didn't realize it required 2 config files to get it alive [16:24] gotta blacklist ati_remote, stick the lircrc in ~/.mythtv/lircrc and ~/.lirc/mythtv and stick lircd.conf in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and then it's good [16:25] loving the web panel...oh the streaming fun :P [16:28] Daviey, so, tell me about your setup :P [16:28] what do you use for TV reception? i've been told to wait for DVB-S2 so i can get the new satalite channels [16:30] CShadowRun: DVB-S2 is live right now.. just can't get dual tunners :( [16:30] Daviey, i heard that myth/linux doesn't support it yet [16:30] and that i'd need to wait a couple of months [16:30] O RLY [16:30] do you have a working DVB-S2 setup? [16:30] i don't no [16:31] oh :P [16:31] --> work [16:31] what do you use? [19:32] so anyone around running DVB-C? I need a crash course on the technology.. [19:32] I've got two analog tuners running, but I can't get most of my channels on them and it's all low-def.. [20:47] Essobi I have a pair of dvb cards receiving OTA [20:52] Ya? Hmm. === oobe_ is now known as oobe
