[00:02] how do i get flash installed for firefox? [04:29] anyone know how to change the port of mythweb? [16:42] I have things working from my cable line directly into my PVR-150. However when I start watching live tv I can only watch 1 channel. Everytime i change channels, it just goes to a black screen. [16:43] The only message I see is external channel channing will not work for svideo and composite. Line 71. But I belive I am using Tuner1 [16:44] mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1be2b0d0 [16:45] I ran the optimze script yesterday, still the same error [16:46] would anyone be able to help or take alook? [16:58] I'd ask in #mythtv-users .. seems a bit more lively there [17:01] ok thanks === tgm4883 is now known as tgm4883_ === tgm4883_ is now known as tgm4883 [18:08] hmm still have not been able to change channels on my pvr-150. I have coax cable comeing into the pvr150. No IR transmitter. The only channel that works is channel 2. when i change ot antoher channel, just gives me black screen [18:09] mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1be2b0d0 [18:13] i have been to mythtv-users and theytold me to come here :) [18:41] . [19:03] does the mythbuntu frontend actually require a myth backend? im not planning to capture anything from a tv card. [19:04] if you use mythtv, yes backend must be installed [19:04] if you use some other app, like boxee or xbmv or me-tv no [19:07] so, mythbuntu isnt really oriented towards playback of stuff you didnt capture yourself, right? [19:09] naranco: it can do that, but if thats your only requirement then there may be better choices out there [19:11] at this point rhpot1991, im not looking for anything more, nothing worth capturing from tv where i live.. any recommendations? [19:12] mythtv can do both, but if you aren't interesting in capturing your own video then you are cutting out mythtv's strength, at that point you should see if the apps superm1 mentioned above might work better for you [19:13] ok [19:16] thanks [19:16] np [19:19] i will give it a try anyway, got interested listening to the mythcast podcast, just to see what it is all abt [19:20] naranco: cool, if you have any questions feel free to ask [19:21] thanks again [21:08] hey guys [21:09] I need help [21:09] !ask [21:09] Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.

IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. [21:09] audioteknika, just ask your question [21:10] Oh, thanks. [21:10] Well, I'm trying to configure my radeon 9700 on 9.04 [21:10] the only was I can fully boot in xfce is by adding vesa in xorg.cnf [21:10] else, I get a black sceen [21:11] any ideas ? [21:30] is someone here ? [21:34] I am here [21:35] I had a question about changing channels. When I start up the frontend I am only able to see one channel. WHen I change channels I get a black screen. I do not use a STB. Any ideas? [21:36] edizzle: taking a stab in the dark, perhaps you have the wrong input set for your tuner [21:37] rhpot1991 well, I do get ONE channel and that comes in fine... [21:37] i have coax coming in on cable and its set to Tuner1 [21:37] my other options are s-video and composite.. [21:37] edizzle: you prob didn't setup your channels in mythtv-setup then [21:38] hmm, i think so [21:38] i have pastebin output [21:39] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1be2b0d0 [21:40] one thing i did notice is that when i try to downlaod my schedule form schdules direct, it always seems to loose the info from the db [21:40] i.e. when i download the line up from mythtv-setup [21:44] I have tried to optimize data base [21:45] # [21:45] 2009-09-01 09:28:05.234 Channel(/dev/video0) Warning: You have not set an external channel changing [21:45] # [21:45] script for a composite or s-video input. Channel changing will do nothing. [21:46] tgm4883, yes I saw that however, I have Coax/Tuner 1 as my input and I am not suing composit or -svideo. Does that message still apply? [21:47] it's in the log files from 9:28, if thats when you tried, then it applies [21:54] i will try again to see if it generates that message [21:57] i am also looking for a doc that describes this error as well [21:58] can i test using a channel change command from cli? [22:27] I"m running into an issue where mythtv is writing the video files to a directory without the permissions to allow myth to delete them when it's trying to expire them. The directory has the permissions for mythtv to create the files with myth's permissons.. [22:40] Blaidd, can you manually delete them from inside mythtv? [22:41] hm.. you know I haven't paid attention to that.. I can check that [22:41] I suspect I havne't noticed because when I delete files they get moved to the delete queue, and get actually deleted up to 5 days later [22:45] Blaidd, you could ssh in/go to a terminal and su to mythtv then try to create a delete a file in that directory to ensure its a permissions issue [22:46] I don't know the password for mythtv. where can I find that (sorry for the stupid quetsion) [22:47] Blaidd, good question...I dont think it gets written anywhere [22:48] if I go in and delete a file and then go to the deleted queue and try to permanently delete it, wouldn't that do the same thing? [22:48] yup [22:48] okay.. let me try that then. [22:55] nope.. it doesn't delete it.. [22:55] sudo -i and then su mythtv [22:56] gbutters: where would I get the password for mythtv? [22:56] Do not need it this way [22:56] oh.. okay [22:58] so it looks like the mythtv user is has ownership when it writes the files, and the files is in the mythtv group, but for some reason the mythtv user can't delete the files.. [22:59] and from what I can tell is that it's a permissions problem.. I can't delete them with the mythtv user (or completely from the mythtv interface) unless I chmod 777 the files [22:59] then they'll delete [23:02] if I go to delete them manually using the myth user it prompts me asking if I want to delete a write-protected file. could that be stopping the mythbackend from deleting them? [23:03] what does ls -la show for the files [23:04] it should look like this -rw-rw-rw- 1 gbutters mythtv 66404 2009-08-28 22:57 1562_20090828182900.mpg.png [23:05] How can I correct the error "2009-09-01 15:56:04.464 Channel(/dev/video0) Warning: You have not set an external channel changing script for a composite or s-video input. Channel changing will do nothing. 2009-09-01 15:56:06.262 Channel(/dev/video0) Error: GetCurrentChannelNum(1): Failed to find Channel 2009-09-01 15:56:06.641 Channel(/dev/video0)::TuneTo(1): Error, failed to find channel." [23:06] I just tried changing the channel and i grabbed the logs here : http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f2b4351b0 [23:06] gbutters: it looks like -rw-r--r-- [23:09] why would mythtv write the permissions like that and is there a way I can change that? [23:09] are you using the default settings and putting your recordings in /var/lib/mythtv/recordings [23:09] no, i'm putting them in a couple of different directories on which mythtv has ownership and has all the permissions to write files [23:09] (ex /media/tv) [23:11] edizzle: how is the card setup in mythtvsetup [23:12] Blaidd: what are the permissions on the directory [23:12] gbutters: haugpuagg pvr-150 with coax comming into tuner1, no STB [23:12] edizzle, you need an external changer script setup on the input if you are using any input other than the coax (RG6) tuner [23:12] what is the group set to? [23:13] foxbuntu: i do have coax [23:13] edizzle, which input of the tuner did you setup? [23:13] edizzle: lets look at each screen in mythtv setup [23:14] foxbutnu: tunner1 [23:14] gbutters: ok [23:14] gbutters i am ready [23:14] edizzle: section 2 [23:15] card type [23:15] ?? [23:15] gbutters: ok ,i have two, one is MPEG;/dev/vidoe0 and the other is V4L /dev/video0 [23:16] for the 150 it should set up as IVTV MPEG-2 encoder card [23:16] That is correct [23:17] Default input should be set to tuner [23:17] gbutters: the default input is Composite1, for some reason it keeps changing back to that.... [23:17] that is your problem [23:17] I have set it a lot of times to Tuner1, but for some reason it keeps reverting back to Composite1 [23:18] ok go to section 4 input connections [23:18] gbutters: ok I'm there [23:19] what is input set to [23:19] gbuters: drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv root 12288 2009-09-01 18:05 /tv [23:19] Blaidd: that is the problem you need to change to group to mythtv [23:20] ahh.. okay.. [23:20] gbutters: even if mythtv owns the directory? [23:20] gbutters; I have 5 listings for MPEG and V4L, the first one is [MPEG: /dev/video0] -> Comcast video source [23:20] Blaidd: yes [23:21] gbutters: thanks [23:21] edizzle: how many tv cards do you have installed?? [23:21] just 1 [23:22] ok lets go back to step 2 capture cards [23:22] gbutters: ok [23:22] do you have 5 showing here [23:23] gbutters: no just 2 [23:23] gbutters: Just MPEG and VL4 [23:23] ok lets start by removing them and starting fresh [23:23] gbutters:ok [23:23] delete all capture cards [23:24] new capture card [23:24] gbutters: done [23:24] set card type to IVTV [23:24] gbutters: done [23:25] shou;d have /dev/video0 selected and tuner as the default input [23:25] should [23:25] gbutters: yes, done (its Tuner1) [23:26] ok do you have your video source setup [23:26] Yes I had comcast video source as the name, it shoud still be there, do you want me to remove it or change? [23:27] it should ok if it was working before [23:27] gbutters: hoever my lineup never stays in there [23:28] using schedules direct?? [23:28] gbutters: when I do a retreiveline up i choose my line up, but evertime I come back it reverts to something else [23:28] gbutters: yes using schedules direct [23:28] gbutters: i guess i can retreive the lineup again for now? [23:29] lets setup the card first and come back to it if it does not work [23:29] gbutters: it currently has UTxxxxx:X [23:29] ok [23:30] go on to input connections [23:30] gbutters: ok [23:30] should just have 1 now [23:31] gbutters: Yes with 5 lines, each one is a differnt input on my card [23:31] 1st one is Tuner1 [23:31] ok use the tuner1 one and set it to use your comcast video source [23:32] gbutters: done [23:32] then select fetch channels from listings source [23:33] this will take a few minutews [23:33] minutes and when it is done will set the starting chanel to your lowest channel [23:34] gbutters: ok i think its done? it shows starting channel 1, previsouly it was on 2 [23:34] ok lets see if it works now [23:35] and i'll want ot run fill database, correct? [23:35] not right now [23:35] ok so just exit out of mythv-setup and try it? [23:36] yes [23:38] when i try to "Watch TV" from the frontend it just kicks me back to the front end [23:38] pastebin logs [23:40] gbutters: Weird, it doesnt run the log grabber from the gui, I have to mannual run it from cli. Anways its here: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1f0c75ca [23:41] need to change to start channel back to 2 and try again [23:44] gbutters: who hooo! [23:45] looks like you are good to go [23:45] gbutters: thanks man! [23:45] check to make sure you have guide data [23:46] Blaidd: did that fix it?? [23:46] I'm going ot have to wait and see.. I don't have anything recording right now and I'm trying to clear up some space on my drives.. [23:47] ok [23:48] gbutter: I've been recording the files and then having myth transcode them, but I keep the old mpegs to encode using different software at a higher quality (which are stored on a network drive on a differnt comp). it turns out myth hasn't been able to delete the old mpg files either so my drivers have filled up with those [23:48] gbutters: I'll let you know though. Thanks :)
