| cfedde_ | every time i try to start the front end i get a black rectangle followed by full screen gray with a black box and a gray bar that i can controll with the arrow keys can some one tell me what is going on here? | 02:34 |
|---|---|---|
| rascal999 | I've just installed mythbuntu and the 'Launch MythTv' setup button is greyed out, why? | 13:09 |
| Seeker` | any idea why mythtv's volume is lower than rhythmbox? I've put all of mythtvs volume settigs to full, as well as alsamixer | 20:41 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: IIRC you said you were using hdmi, did you disable volume control in myth? | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991 | could do a straight passthrough and just let your TV/receiver handle the volume | 20:45 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: I didn't, no | 20:45 |
| rhpot1991 | page 3 or so of the general settings I believe | 20:45 |
| Seeker` | the "use external mixer" option? | 20:45 |
| Seeker` | sorry,disable "Use internal volume controls"? | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991 | thats how you'd kill it | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991 | if you look around in there, or maybe it was in the recording profiles, there is an option for recording sound level, you can adjust that as well | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991 | that wont effect digital sound though I don't think | 20:47 |
| Seeker` | hmm, disabled the internal mixer | 20:47 |
| Seeker` | still not as loud as rhythmbox | 20:47 |
| Seeker` | rhythmbox is "too loud" at about 18 on the receiver | 20:48 |
| Seeker` | need it to be at least 20 to have a listenable volume with mythtv | 20:48 |
| rhpot1991 | mess around with the audio settings in myth, and launch alsamixer from a terminal, you can try to adjust some things in there | 20:49 |
| Seeker` | everything in alsamixer is on full | 20:50 |
| Seeker` | the only setting that has any bearing on the HDMI volume level is the "IEC958 1" switch, which I can only mute/unmute | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: busy now, but if I get a chance I'll remote in and look for where the recordings volume setting is (or if it even still exists) | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: what kind of tuners do you have? | 20:52 |
| chaslinux | Wondering if I missed a setting in mythbuntu or if I need to buy a video card with HDMI. Getting a small picture in the centre of my LCD tv. | 20:53 |
| Seeker` | I have a nova-T 500 | 20:53 |
| Seeker` | chaslinux: how are you connecting to your LCD at the moment? | 20:54 |
| chaslinux | Seeker: DSUB | 20:54 |
| Seeker` | chaslinux: is the desktop only displaying in the middle of the screen? with black borders round the edge? | 20:55 |
| chaslinux | Seeker: yes, but only when I try to watch TV or record, it's fine with myth tv menus. | 20:55 |
| Seeker` | hmm | 20:55 |
| Seeker` | chaslinux: have you tried the zoom setting? | 20:56 |
| chaslinux | No... on the TV or in Myth TV? | 20:56 |
| Seeker` | mythtv | 20:56 |
| Seeker` | press m while watching something | 20:56 |
| Seeker` | then you can change the zoom settings in that menu | 20:56 |
| chaslinux | K thanks will check that out... nothing like IRSSI on a big screen tv ;-) Thanks Seeker` | 20:57 |
| Seeker` | D | 20:57 |
| Seeker` | :D | 20:57 |
| Seeker` | Hope it works | 20:57 |
| chaslinux | Did I love you! | 20:58 |
| chaslinux | Dude! | 20:58 |
| chaslinux | lol thanks worked like a charm | 20:58 |
| Seeker` | :) | 20:59 |
| Seeker` | glad I could be of some help | 20:59 |
| Seeker` | you can set a default zoom in one of the settings menu | 20:59 |
| chaslinux | That's great, my wife is going to be thrilled | 20:59 |
| chaslinux | The aspect ratio was off | 21:00 |
| chaslinux | As soon as I put it to 16:9 it looks fine. | 21:00 |
| Seeker` | :) | 21:02 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: Even DTS / DD passthrough is really quiet | 21:02 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: I'm beginning to wonder if rhythmbox applies some amplification to stuff | 21:02 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: if thats the only issue you might be able to just modify volume for rhythmbox | 21:20 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: the problem is that i need the receiver much higher for mythtv than any other source | 21:35 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: the propper thing to do is to let your receiver control the volume and not let myth controll it at all | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | if you go into the recording profiles, 4th page in there is a volume control | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | setup > tv > recording profiles | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991 | I believe this only effects analog though | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991 | and will only take place on new recordings' | 21:39 |
| Seeker` | I only have 2 pages of options | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | not available then, thought it might not be | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: hop over to #mythtv-users and ask there, someone might have a better idea | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | for me once I kill volume control in myth everything is about the same going to and from my receiver (or so I think) | 21:43 |
| Seeker` | may try SPDIF, although I'd rather not have to buy another cable | 21:44 |
| Seeker` | having everything go over HDMI is nice | 21:44 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm doing SPDIF, but only cause HDMI wasn't passing through digital sound for me properly | 21:45 |
| rhpot1991 | I had to saw up 2 wires to get them to fit next to each other, a real mess | 21:46 |
| Seeker` | :( | 21:46 |
| Seeker` | mythtv is great | 21:46 |
| Seeker` | but there are a few small things that really annoy me | 21:46 |
| Seeker` | getting my remote working properly is a pain, and it has randomly stopped receiving some keys | 21:46 |
| Seeker` | if i start a movie and choose DTS, it often reverts back to DD a few seconds later | 21:47 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: I have seen an issue where irw still gets remote commands but myth never seems to get them, very hard to reproduce | 21:50 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: that sucks | 21:54 |
