TazgodXanyone know how to turn off the screensaver with xine?03:11
j1mchi all - are there any companies that sell decent (doesn't need to be totally awesome) pre-built boxes that can run mythbuntu?03:18
tgm4883foxbuntu, ^^03:20
j1mchi tgm488303:22
j1mci don't have hdtv or anything03:22
j1mcjust want to be able to record and replay shows, basically. anything on top of that is icing on the cake.03:23
TazgodXj1mc, got any old PCs laying around?03:24
j1mcTazgodX, yeah. I have a PIII ~400mhz, but it's kind of noisy.03:25
TazgodXif i had a movie ripped off my windows PC, a Blu ray rip. whats the minimum hardware requirements to display it nicely. seems to stutter once and a while on my mythbox, but its also a little old and low on ram03:30
foxbuntuj1mc, I am willing to offer some shameless self promotion on the subject :)03:46
hadsThat's unusual03:46
j1mcfoxbuntu, please do03:46
foxbuntuhaha... evening hads03:46
hadsHi :)03:47
foxbuntuj1mc, I own www.foxmediasystems.com03:47
j1mccool03:47
j1mci don't see any products on your site. :(03:48
foxbuntuj1mc, I m nearly done building my production product... I would actually be intrested in getting some additional beta testers on the product if you are looking to buy one, I would likely give you a discount off my final price model as long as you can provide me results03:49
j1mcthanks. i would certainly take a look at it.03:49
foxbuntuj1mc, join me in #foxmediasystems and we can discuss03:49

TechnophilWould anyone have any idea how to move this forwards, as occurs on a number of frontends:11:31
Technophil*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0960036f ***11:31
Technophilfrom http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/2/malloc I note11:40
TechnophilUser errors can corrupt the storage arena.  The most common gaffes are (1) freeing an already freed block, (2) storing beyond the bounds of an allocated block, and (3) freeing11:40
Technophil          data that was not obtained from the allocator.  When malloc and free detect such corruption, they abort.11:40
TechnophilSeems like a bug to me that should be reported?11:40
hadsSure, you can report it.11:41
TechnophilAnything I can do to assist the report?11:45

TazgodXdoes anyone have a working resolution to how to disable the screensaver in mythbuntu when playing a movie with xine?21:12
rhpot1991TazgodX: appart from actually disabling the screensaver?21:14
TazgodXyeah. and i even tried that. it just locked down21:16
TazgodXkinda like if you watch a movie in the internal player it just disables the screensaver21:16
rhpot1991TazgodX: I disabled my screensaver all together to avoid that issue21:19
TazgodXbut then it won't turn off if i just leave it21:20
TazgodXi can do that tho. but i tried that, and it still like sent the computer into lockdown after like 30 mins21:20
rhpot1991my TV does sleeping on its own, so not a big deal for me21:26
williammandatgm4883, u round?21:26
TazgodXhmm, ill have to look into that.21:26
TazgodXnother question where is the vsync option?21:27
TazgodXi looked everywhere for it, and its starting to get annoying during fast scenes i just see a parts of the movies and lines21:28
rhpot1991TazgodX: IIRC its in the playback section of setup21:30
rhpot1991setup > TV > playback maybe21:30
rhpot1991I'm not around my mythbox now21:30
TazgodXso would that only be applied when watching live TV? or videos too?21:35
rhpot1991depends what you are watching the videos in21:38
rhpot1991should only apply to the internal player21:38
Seeker`eugh, TV wont tune21:43
Seeker`nto getting a channel lock21:43
Seeker`also, getting a lot of mt2060 I2C read failed in dmesg21:44
