| superm1 | the interlacing method may | 00:03 |

| superm1 | and depending on what output method (xvmc, vdpau, xv, etc) | 00:04 |
| MythBuntu | i'm having trouble outputting live TV or anything using a hauppage wintv 150 (the probe says it's a 350) I'm setup for ivtv mpeg2 and device en0 any suggestions? | 00:28 |
| neoteny | superm1 i changed the playback profile to low on page 3 of the playback settings and that seems to have resolved the issue with no noticeable change in picture quality | 00:41 |
| foxbuntu | MythBuntu, post your logs using Mytbuntu Log Grabber to provide additional details | 01:08 |
| foxbuntu | MythBuntu, you will need to provide the link here | 01:08 |

| madLyfe | is there a way to disable all of the mythbuntu startups from command line? | 06:16 |
| superm1 | what do you mean startups? | 06:46 |
| superm1 | anything that can be done in MCC can be done command line | 06:46 |
| superm1 | ~/.config/autostart/mythtv.desktop starts mythfrontend | 06:46 |
| superm1 | /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf does autologin | 06:46 |
| madLyfe | superm1: well when you start up it goes to that custom login screen.. how do i disable that? | 07:50 |
| superm1 | madLyfe, you mean the gdm screen? For 9.04 and earlier, modify /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf | 07:50 |
| madLyfe | command line.. something is wrong graphically there and i want to disable that to see if that fixes it so i can login graphically | 07:50 |
| madLyfe | i have to do it through the command line in recovery mode | 07:51 |
| superm1 | for 9.10 and later the file is /etc/gdm/custom.conf | 07:51 |
| madLyfe | im using 9.04 | 07:51 |
| superm1 | so when you say disable, do you mean turn off gdm (and the X server startup), or automatic login? | 07:52 |
| madLyfe | i just want to get back to the stock ubuntu login screen | 07:52 |
| madLyfe | cuz something is happening there that makes the screen go crazy and i cant login or anything.. | 07:53 |
| madLyfe | so as root in recovery mode command line, what would i need to do? | 07:53 |
| madLyfe | so i can login and get to the desktop | 07:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | Anyone here use Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 and how does it work for you if you do? | 14:13 |
| Essobi_ | WEEE! | 14:50 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: supposed to work pretty well, I don't have one though | 15:23 |
| rhpot1991 | if you want HD support I'd recommend a HDHR | 15:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | thanks I will check out the HDHR | 15:29 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: yes, I use a HDHR | 16:05 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: talk in here so others can chime in if they want | 17:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | sorry about that | 17:00 |
| rhpot1991 | quality is good, I pull 1080i video from my cable (pretty much just locals) | 17:00 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure what you mean about "how do you have it set up", its an ethernet device, so you just plug it into your network | 17:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | Do you have a cable box connected? | 17:02 |
| rhpot1991 | ummm, yes but not to the HDHR | 17:03 |
| rhpot1991 | HDHR only does clear QAM, thats how all HD tunners are | 17:03 |
| rhpot1991 | so you can get your locals over them normally, and a bunch of junk like the music channels | 17:03 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us | 17:04 |
| rhpot1991 | you can look up your lineup there | 17:04 |
| rhpot1991 | if you wanted to capture HD from your cable box then you'd have to look at something like the hauppauge 1212 (hd-pvr) or firewire | 17:05 |
| rhpot1991 | !firewire | 17:05 |
| Zinn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire | 17:05 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: gotta run to lunch soon, if you have any questions ask away, maybe someone else will answer them, if not I'll chime in when I get back | 17:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | <rhpot1991> thank you.....when you get back please let me know if you ever use hauppauge 1212 (hd-pvr) | 17:11 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: nope, not yet | 18:18 |
| rhpot1991 | thinking I might get one in the next month or two | 18:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | I just watched a review with it and it seems to be very good | 18:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | do you know if it is supported in mythbuntu? | 18:41 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest82: currently, not really. It needs mythtv trunk. | 20:03 |
| rhpot1991 | but, come karmic .22 should be there, so it should work well then | 20:03 |
| superm1 | and it needs a kernel module which comes with 2.6.31 | 20:28 |
| superm1 | which is also in karmic | 20:28 |
| TrD | Hello all, I can't remember what version of mythbuntu (8.04, .10 etc.) this media center has, and I can't figure out were to look to find out | 20:55 |
| TrD | its possible its even 7 | 20:55 |
| TrD | nm, just looked at the release dates. that's not likley at all. its 8.04 or 8.10, but I have no idea how to tell | 20:57 |
| rhpot1991 | TrD: if you look in /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991 | the version will be in there | 20:59 |
| gbutters | TrD: cat /etc/lsb-release | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991 | or what gbutters says | 20:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | Hi how is everyone doing? | 21:03 |
| TrD | great, thanks. it is 8.04 | 21:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | I have a question, if I set up a Mythbuntu backend server can I watch Live TV from another computer on my network? If so does this computer need to have the front end software installed? Thanks | 21:05 |
| TrD | im going to be upgrading later then. Since im at 8.04, can I just stick in a 9.04 cd, or is it recommened that I go 8.04 =>8.10 => 9.04? | 21:12 |
| gbutters | TrD: you can just use the update manager | 21:13 |
| TrD | I tried those directions, it seems it only works for 8.10 to 9.04 unless I missed something | 21:13 |
| TrD | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=um2.jpg | 21:14 |
| TrD | I don't have that 'upgrade' button | 21:14 |
| gbutters | you should fine going that way. Ialways upgrade using update manager | 21:15 |
| TrD | I would preffer that, but I don't see the upgrade button on this | 21:15 |
| gbutters | click on check and it should show up | 21:16 |
| TrD | I did | 21:16 |
| TrD | from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 21:17 |
| TrD | "You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 from Ubuntu 8.10 " | 21:17 |
| gbutters | have applied all of the updates available | 21:19 |
| TrD | yes I have | 21:19 |
| TrD | Its my dads, stability was more importaint so I left it all the old version once it was working. but now I need the kernel to be 2.6.27 for better tuner card support | 21:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | I believe that you have to change the settings under software sources to upgrade from LAN | 21:21 |
| TrD | ill check | 21:22 |
| gbutters | Software sources Updates tab Release upgrade needs to be set to Normal releases | 21:24 |
| TrD | there wasn't anything like that, but it got me looking I nthe right place. there was a "show new dist releases" drop down | 21:24 |
| TrD | gbutters: aye, I just did that. I can see the upgrade button now | 21:25 |
| TrD | thanks all | 21:25 |
| gbutters | np | 21:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | how bout my question now | 21:25 |
| gbutters | Works best with the frontend software installed but if you have access to the files you can play them in most media players | 21:26 |
| TrD | http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hybrid | 21:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | How bout this scenario, My mom has a web book with winxp if the samba shares were properly set up would she be able to watch live tv on this device | 21:28 |
| TrD | linuxmce you can have a core, were all the media is kept, and then extenders for each tv | 21:28 |
| TrD | oh nm. your talking about something else | 21:29 |
| TrD | you want to route live tv over the network? | 21:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | yes | 21:30 |
| TrD | from the computer with the tuner to one without | 21:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest03 | yes | 21:30 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest03: in order to watch live tv you will need a frontend on whatever you want to watch it on | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | you can try this on windows: http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/ | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | if you browse the forums, he did a release that does livetv | 21:34 |
| rhpot1991 | IIRC we still package it on the mythbuntu cd as well, but that one I believe does not do livet | 21:34 |
| rhpot1991 | v | 21:34 |
| superm1 | not for 9.04 and later it's not packaged (since canonical builds those) | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: thanks, wasn't sure anymore | 21:42 |
| neoteny | got one more issue: when i'm watching tv for a long time, it will lock up tight. | 23:28 |
