| Batshua | Uhm, any help with my transcode issue? | 00:05 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure off hand myself. i'd take the silence in the room as no one else is too sure either | 00:06 |
| superm1 | i can personally transcode with a cutlist | 00:06 |
| superm1 | so perhaps look in your logs for some more information about anything mythbackend is complaining in the process | 00:06 |
| Batshua | well, so apparently mine autotranscoded before | 00:11 |
| Batshua | and so the second time I'm not sure they're re-transcoding. | 00:11 |
| Batshua | I should poke the logs. | 00:12 |
| Batshua | Any idea what I should be looking for? Or would it stick out like a sore thumb? | 00:20 |
| tgm4883 | !logs | Batshua | 00:24 |
| Zinn | Batshua: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 00:24 |
| tgm4883 | then be sure to poke superm1 to review those logs personally ;) | 00:25 |
| Batshua | Ooh, shiny. Thanks, tgm! | 00:25 |
| tgm4883 | np | 00:25 |
| Batshua | I'm gonna grab 'em remotely. | 00:25 |
| tgm4883 | i can review them when I get home too | 00:25 |
| superm1 | !stab | tgm4883 | 00:25 |
| * Zinn stabs | tgm4883 with a sharpened mce remote. | 00:25 | |
| Batshua | Which pastebin do y'all use? | 00:25 |
| superm1 | !pastebin | Batshua | 00:25 |
| Zinn | Batshua: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 00:25 |
| Batshua | because I'm not gonna do this from the mythbox. | 00:25 |
| Batshua | Ah. Shinysauce. | 00:25 |
| tgm4883 | mythbuntu.pastebin.com | 00:25 |
| tgm4883 | the mythbuntu-log-grabber will actually post them there for you | 00:26 |
| Batshua | right but right now the tv is off | 00:26 |
| Batshua | so I figured I'd do it from here. | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | you could also use pastebinit | 00:27 |
| tgm4883 | which is what MLogG uses | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | speaking of | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | foxbuntu, MLogG could really use an auto command, that can also be run from the command line | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | ala, silent mode | 00:28 |
| superm1 | i recommended that ages ago... | 00:30 |
| superm1 | i say if it doesn't find a DISPLAY variable or what not, then it should offer to run in the command line | 00:30 |
| superm1 | as well as some command line switch to do the same | 00:30 |
| tgm4883 | yea, I agree | 00:31 |
| tgm4883 | oh well, home time | 00:31 |
| Batshua | AHA | 00:35 |
| Batshua | I am having transcoding failures! | 00:35 |
| Batshua | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m285e0869 | 00:37 |
| superm1 | so you have your profiles set up wrong probably | 00:38 |
| superm1 | if no one in here can help out, check in #mythtv-users | 00:38 |
| superm1 | just share that same pastebin with them | 00:38 |
| Batshua | profiles? | 00:39 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883, that should be easy enough to do...did ou file a bug/feature request for it? | 00:42 |

| superm1 | spiderworm, probably clear the xfce session startup cache | 03:21 |
| spiderworm | superm1, i checked the session startup application list and i didnt see the mythbuntu control centre listed in there | 03:22 |
| superm1 | two solutions | 03:22 |
| superm1 | 1) close everything, and log out of xfce, make sure it saves your session when it asks | 03:22 |
| superm1 | 2) remove the contents of the cache directory in ~ | 03:23 |
| spiderworm | thank you, i'll try those | 03:23 |
| spiderworm | while i have you here, are you able to tell me what a CATV converter box does? | 03:23 |
| spiderworm | it seems it converts a digital signal to analog, but does it do anything else? | 03:24 |
| spiderworm | is it a cable descrambler or something? | 03:24 |
| superm1 | they used to be descramber's yes | 03:28 |
| superm1 | nowadays they decrypt digital signals with a decryption key | 03:28 |
| spiderworm | i c | 03:29 |
| spiderworm | so i am trying to figure out ugh why my CATV converter hooked up to an older tv seems to get a lot more channels than my Hauppauge PVR-500 | 03:30 |
| spiderworm | i guess that the Hauppague PVR-500 is an analog card, and so it can only pick up the analog channels... 2-30 or so | 03:30 |
| superm1 | hook up the converter box to your PVR-500 and then use an IR blaster to change the channels then | 03:32 |
| superm1 | you could then record from the cable box | 03:32 |
| spiderworm | if i get a digital tv recording card, should it be able to pick up the digital channels? | 03:32 |
| spiderworm | if i hook the converter box up to the pvr-500 and use an ir blaster to change the channels, will it be able to record two different channels at once? | 03:33 |
| spiderworm | i dont think that would work, right? | 03:34 |
| mrand | Generally, one converter box = being able to capture/record one channel. | 03:35 |
| spiderworm | yeah | 03:36 |
| spiderworm | wow, the hauppauge wintv-hvr-1800 looks sweet... anyone tried one of those? | 03:36 |
| mrand | Maybe someone else here has, but I haven't. You can goggle the terms 'hvr-1800 mythtv' and see what kinds of hits you get. the mythtv wiki is pretty good at listing known working stuff. | 03:38 |
| Batshua | lemme check | 03:39 |
| Batshua | Oh wait, no, my error. | 03:41 |
| Batshua | I have the 1250. | 03:41 |

| spiderworm | the wiki says kernel recompilation is necessary, but also says it works fine with the latest v4l-dvb drivers | 03:41 |
| mrand | wiki could very well be old on topics such as that. | 03:41 |
| spiderworm | why would kernel recompilation be neccessary if it those latest drivers could just be installed? | 03:42 |

| danfinn | I'm building my first mythbuntu server. I have it connected to my Panasonic Viera HD TV via VGA cable. I cannot seem to get more than 640x480 for a resolution. I know for a fact that the TV can handle more than this, when I plug my macbook in I get about double the pixesls | 05:50 |

| MythbuntuGuest40 | I am running Mythbuntu 9.04 backend/frontend. I rebooted last night and a few of files of recorded shows were deleted and nothing is showing up on Mythweb under "Upcomming Recordings." There are recording schedules but it didn't record anything last night. Can anyone help? | 13:28 |
| styelz | did you change your hostname ? | 13:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest40 | I don't think so. I'll check | 13:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest40 | No, it's the same | 13:45 |
| jedlhl | is there a tool for decrypting BD in linux or is it only possible to do in windows at this stage? | 16:36 |
| htpc | hi short question, where should I look when my /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend starts up fine manually | 20:25 |
| htpc | but not automatically | 20:25 |
| htpc | when my system boots the boot up claims "starting myth backen [OK}" but mythbackend is not started, a sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start works fine from terminal | 20:26 |
| htpc | should I just try and add it to services _ | 20:26 |
| htpc | ? | 20:26 |
| gizmobay | I keep getting a connection refused on the trunk weeklybuilds. | 22:50 |
| gizmobay | Did it change? | 22:50 |
| styelz | same here, use uk.weekly.. or ppa.launchpad.net | 23:02 |
