[00:03] the interlacing method may [00:04] and depending on what output method (xvmc, vdpau, xv, etc) [00:28] 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? [00:41] 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 [01:08] MythBuntu, post your logs using Mytbuntu Log Grabber to provide additional details [01:08] MythBuntu, you will need to provide the link here === Shadow__X2 is now known as Shadow__X [06:16] is there a way to disable all of the mythbuntu startups from command line? [06:46] what do you mean startups? [06:46] anything that can be done in MCC can be done command line [06:46] ~/.config/autostart/mythtv.desktop starts mythfrontend [06:46] /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf does autologin [07:50] superm1: well when you start up it goes to that custom login screen.. how do i disable that? [07:50] madLyfe, you mean the gdm screen? For 9.04 and earlier, modify /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf [07:50] command line.. something is wrong graphically there and i want to disable that to see if that fixes it so i can login graphically [07:51] i have to do it through the command line in recovery mode [07:51] for 9.10 and later the file is /etc/gdm/custom.conf [07:51] im using 9.04 [07:52] so when you say disable, do you mean turn off gdm (and the X server startup), or automatic login? [07:52] i just want to get back to the stock ubuntu login screen [07:53] cuz something is happening there that makes the screen go crazy and i cant login or anything.. [07:53] so as root in recovery mode command line, what would i need to do? [07:54] so i can login and get to the desktop [14:13] Anyone here use Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 and how does it work for you if you do? [14:50] WEEE! [15:23] MythbuntuGuest82: supposed to work pretty well, I don't have one though [15:23] if you want HD support I'd recommend a HDHR [15:29] thanks I will check out the HDHR [16:05] MythbuntuGuest82: yes, I use a HDHR [17:00] MythbuntuGuest82: talk in here so others can chime in if they want [17:00] sorry about that [17:00] quality is good, I pull 1080i video from my cable (pretty much just locals) [17:01] 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 [17:02] Do you have a cable box connected? [17:03] ummm, yes but not to the HDHR [17:03] HDHR only does clear QAM, thats how all HD tunners are [17:03] so you can get your locals over them normally, and a bunch of junk like the music channels [17:04] MythbuntuGuest82: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us [17:04] you can look up your lineup there [17:05] 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] !firewire [17:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire [17:08] 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 [17:11] thank you.....when you get back please let me know if you ever use hauppauge 1212 (hd-pvr) [18:18] MythbuntuGuest82: nope, not yet [18:18] thinking I might get one in the next month or two [18:41] I just watched a review with it and it seems to be very good [18:41] do you know if it is supported in mythbuntu? [20:03] MythbuntuGuest82: currently, not really. It needs mythtv trunk. [20:03] but, come karmic .22 should be there, so it should work well then [20:28] and it needs a kernel module which comes with 2.6.31 [20:28] which is also in karmic [20:55] 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] its possible its even 7 [20:57] 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 [20:59] TrD: if you look in /etc/apt/sources.list [20:59] the version will be in there [20:59] TrD: cat /etc/lsb-release [20:59] or what gbutters says [21:03] Hi how is everyone doing? [21:05] great, thanks. it is 8.04 [21:05] 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 [21:12] 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? [21:13] TrD: you can just use the update manager [21:13] I tried those directions, it seems it only works for 8.10 to 9.04 unless I missed something [21:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=um2.jpg [21:14] I don't have that 'upgrade' button [21:15] you should fine going that way. Ialways upgrade using update manager [21:15] I would preffer that, but I don't see the upgrade button on this [21:16] click on check and it should show up [21:16] I did [21:17] from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:17] "You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 from Ubuntu 8.10 " [21:19] have applied all of the updates available [21:19] yes I have [21:20] 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 [21:21] I believe that you have to change the settings under software sources to upgrade from LAN [21:22] ill check [21:24] Software sources Updates tab Release upgrade needs to be set to Normal releases [21:24] there wasn't anything like that, but it got me looking I nthe right place. there was a "show new dist releases" drop down [21:25] gbutters: aye, I just did that. I can see the upgrade button now [21:25] thanks all [21:25] np [21:25] how bout my question now [21:26] Works best with the frontend software installed but if you have access to the files you can play them in most media players [21:28] http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hybrid [21:28] 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] linuxmce you can have a core, were all the media is kept, and then extenders for each tv [21:29] oh nm. your talking about something else [21:29] you want to route live tv over the network? [21:30] yes [21:30] from the computer with the tuner to one without [21:30] yes [21:33] MythbuntuGuest03: in order to watch live tv you will need a frontend on whatever you want to watch it on [21:33] you can try this on windows: http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/ [21:34] if you browse the forums, he did a release that does livetv [21:34] IIRC we still package it on the mythbuntu cd as well, but that one I believe does not do livet [21:34] v [21:41] not for 9.04 and later it's not packaged (since canonical builds those) [21:42] superm1: thanks, wasn't sure anymore [23:28] got one more issue: when i'm watching tv for a long time, it will lock up tight.
