| dmfrey | hey everyone, got a graphics issue I am trying to work out | 03:46 |
|---|---|---|
| dmfrey | i am running 9.10 | 03:46 |
| dmfrey | it is on a GeForce 8400 running vdpau-normal with the 190 nvidia driver | 03:47 |
| dmfrey | HD looks great, except it is letterboxed, not full screen | 03:48 |
| dmfrey | SD aspect ratio appears correct, except it has about a 2 inch pillar box on each side, instead of the normal black sidebars | 03:49 |
| dmfrey | i have been all over the playback settings | 03:50 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, thats just a setting in the frontend, I think in the playback settings | 03:50 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: that's what I thought, I was messing with the auto fill and zooming, but the picture then looks distorted | 03:51 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, I am using a very similar video card... | 03:53 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: are you seeing the same types of issues? | 03:53 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, no, my SD content has the normal black sidebars to compensate for the 4:3 on 16:9 screen | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, is that what you are seeing or am I missing something? | 03:54 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: no, the sidebars are not normal...very small, only about 2-3 inches on either side | 03:55 |
| dmfrey | the tv is a 56 toshiba dlp | 03:55 |
| dmfrey | so those black bars are pretty tiny on that screen | 03:55 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: btw...this was normal in 9.04 | 03:56 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, it can be smaller depending on the resolution you are recording at, or your playback resolution, or the TV, or the TV signal (cable/sat/OTA) | 03:56 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, well, some huge changes happened between 9.04 -> 9.10 | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, there are allot of factors... | 03:57 |
| dmfrey | it is the same for firewire recording or qam off of pchdtv 5500 | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, what resolution are you running at? | 03:58 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, also what type of connection are you using to the TV? | 03:59 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: 1080i/dvi | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, no the actual resolution on the myth system | 03:59 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: it is offset to compensate for overscan | 03:59 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: one sec, let me bring it up | 04:00 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, is it str8 through DVI? or DVI -> HDMI? | 04:00 |
| dmfrey | dvi -> hdmi | 04:00 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, does the video look distorted with the smaller bars? | 04:02 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: it is maybe stretched a little | 04:03 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: one more thing...the menu looks appropriate on the screen, this only affect playback | 04:04 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: i am looking at the general playback menu now | 04:05 |
| dmfrey | page 2 | 04:05 |
| dmfrey | video aspect override is off and zoom is auto detect (default off) | 04:05 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, I would set zoom off | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, but thats not the issue | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, I think rather than a 16:9 resolution like 1920x1080, your system is running a 16:10 resolution, many TVs do support 16:10 | 04:07 |
| foxbuntu | 16:10 would be like 1920x1200 | 04:07 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: let me check my xorg.log | 04:08 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, alright | 04:08 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: if that is the case, i am not sure why this card is now detecting it at 16:10, never did it with 9.04 and before | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, probably the new driver | 04:10 |
| dmfrey | it was the same with the 185 driver, i upgraded it 190 to see if it would fix the issue | 04:10 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, you likely were using the 173 driver in 9.04 though | 04:11 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080 | 04:11 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, hmm...well that answers that | 04:12 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: i had to use the screen adjustment wizard to adjust for overscan for the menus | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, that could be part of it | 04:14 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: i saw that the checkbox was enabled to use the new size for video playback | 04:14 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: disabled it, but the problem perists | 04:14 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, Im not sure, I just deal with the overscan on mine, although it is not too bad | 04:15 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: did you enable the separate video modes for gui and tv playback? | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, no | 04:16 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, did you? | 04:16 |
| dmfrey | no | 04:17 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, you might try it | 04:17 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: what about your button font size? I notice when a popup appears, the button face font size is too tiny to read | 04:18 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: I think this is all related somehow | 04:18 |
| * foxbuntu is seriously procrastinating his work...and is way behind on completing it | 04:18 | |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, all the text on my system is readable | 04:19 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, are you using the mythbuntu theme? | 04:19 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: yes | 04:19 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, system all up-to-date? | 04:19 |
| dmfrey | looks like there are a few updates out there that just came down in the last day...i usually keep it up to date all the time | 04:20 |
| dmfrey | this is a dist-upgrade | 04:20 |
| dmfrey | it is recording right now, so can't do the upgrade and reboot | 04:21 |
| dmfrey | foxbuntu: thanks for your help, i am gonna turn in for the night | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | dmfrey, np | 04:30 |
| Demerzel | hello folks | 05:20 |
| Demerzel | anyone here having any issues with mythbuntu diskless images? | 05:21 |
| Demerzel | i updated the image to include the latest kernel and that seems to have killed it | 05:21 |
| Demerzel | dies before even mounting root | 05:21 |
| wildo3ne | can someone help me increase my dpi on my font? current reading is 46dpi and so nothing is readable when bringing up menus in myth | 05:23 |
| Demerzel | wildo3ne: what distro are you using? | 05:28 |
| Demerzel | oh heh i'm assuming you're using mythbuntu ... what version? | 05:28 |
| wildo3ne | yeah mythbuntu current version, downloaded last night | 05:29 |
| Demerzel | ah ok | 05:30 |
| Demerzel | i just looked on the forums for dpi | 05:30 |
| Demerzel | http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/302667 | 05:30 |
| Demerzel | that might help | 05:30 |
| Demerzel | /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc | 05:30 |
| Demerzel | might need to change the dpi there or remove it altogether | 05:30 |
| wildo3ne | tried your advice demerzel, but I don't have any of those config files | 05:39 |
| Demerzel | hmmm | 05:42 |
| Demerzel | any mention of dpi in /var/log/Xorg.log? | 05:42 |
| Demerzel | it might mention where it's picking it up from | 05:42 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: where should i submit the bug | 05:44 |
| wildo3ne | sorry no, does it help to mention my video is vga out on intel 845 chipset? | 05:54 |
| wildo3ne | its an older p4 2.0 gig running in a mini itx asus system | 05:54 |

| olejl1 | Every time I restart my computer the MythTV database settings are displayed. How can I avoid this? If I close the database setup and start Mythfrontend from Application->Multimedia->MythTV Frontend it is OK. | 16:57 |
| olejl1 | I managed to solve it. I had created a new wired connections which for some reason didn't come up until after mythfrontend was started. When I deleted it and enabled the Auto again, it was working. | 17:11 |
| plsander | Hi, I've installed mythbuntu 9.10, and I am having problems getting capture from my PVR-350 card. | 18:25 |
| plsander | In 9.10 - which is the correct specification for a PVR-350 capture card -- V4L or IVTV? | 19:30 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, IVTV | 19:46 |
| plsander | thanks - | 19:46 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, this will probably help you. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_PVR-350#Installation_guides | 19:47 |
| plsander | foxbuntu, I'm more worried about getting capture working... it was working on myth .20 (knoppmyth) but since I have changed to mythbuntu and myth .22 it does not capture - neither live nor recordings. | 19:51 |
| plsander | the doc talked about tv-out on pvr-350 | 19:51 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, well how are you trying to capture? | 19:51 |
| foxbuntu | (s-vid / composite / RG6(coax) ) | 19:52 |
| plsander | s-vid -- direct connect to cable box | 19:52 |
| plsander | IR blaster controlling channel change | 19:52 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, how are you tuning the cable box? | 19:52 |
| plsander | according to the logs, the channel change is completing ok. | 19:53 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, ok, did you setup the external channel changer command on the input connection? | 19:53 |
| plsander | ues | 19:53 |
| plsander | yes | 19:53 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, have you tested the channel change command to verify it is actually working as expected? | 19:53 |
| plsander | It was earlier, and the cable box generates a valid signal requardless of the channel tuned to | 19:54 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, well I am more concerned that it is actually changing channels | 19:55 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, before going too far, lets stop back and have you explain in more detail exactly what you are doing and how its failing | 19:57 |
| plsander | I'm not getting anything for live tv - just black screen then kicked back to the mythfrontend menu. If capture was working, I would see something. | 19:57 |
| plsander | same behavior for recorded programs - black screen for ~5 seconds, then recording ends | 19:58 |
| plsander | I am using storage groups - have plenty (200G) free in the live tv directory | 19:59 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, post your logs with Mythbuntu Log Grabber, try watching live tv once more then post the logs | 20:03 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, the logs should provide information | 20:03 |
| plsander | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f337a584b -- started livetv around 13:50 | 20:03 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, try this: cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg | 20:09 |
| plsander | I get the default cable box channel when I play that mpg. | 20:10 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, ctrl + c to kill it | 20:10 |
| plsander | so the card is working | 20:10 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, ok, so its a configuration thing then | 20:11 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, (at least thats the likely story) | 20:11 |
| plsander | :-D | 20:11 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, when yo say default channel, is it the Menu/On-Demand channel? | 20:11 |
| plsander | It's the "how to use your cable box channel" | 20:13 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, ah ha | 20:13 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, use the normal cable remote to get the box off that channel onto something else | 20:13 |
| plsander | Used the channel change program, since the remote is long vanished into some drawer - the change worked. | 20:16 |
| foxbuntu | ok, so now you have some sort of tv | 20:16 |
| plsander | now to get myth to work with it. | 20:18 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, run the frontend like this: mythfrontend -v all | 20:19 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, then try the watchtv | 20:19 |
| plsander | ok - have that output in a file | 20:21 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, post it | 20:21 |
| plsander | is there a way to post a file to pastebin? | 20:22 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, little hint, cat <file> | pastebinit | 20:22 |
| plsander | spiffy... http://pastebin.com/f54256f78 | 20:23 |
| Essobi | Meh | 20:28 |
| Essobi | I can't get this stupid BT878 to work with on-card sound | 20:28 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, well this seems to expose part of the issue, you said you are using storage groups, are you using the default folder locations, or did you create your own? | 20:30 |
| plsander | default - added locations to them | 20:31 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, what did you add? | 20:31 |
| plsander | That's probalby it - I added /mnt/mythstg/v000/ but the path is /mnt/mythstg/v000/video/ (and v001, v002, v003) | 20:32 |
| plsander | but mythtv has write access to both v000 and v000/video | 20:32 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, I would chown the folders to mythtv:mythtv | 20:33 |
| plsander | they already are. | 20:33 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 20:33 |
| plsander | only /mnt is root:root | 20:34 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, only thing I can seem to find is the system times out where it should be generating the recording file, so to me it seems like a permissions issue or the way the storage groups are configured | 20:35 |
| plsander | I'll switch it back to the /var/lib/ paths and see if that works | 20:35 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, that is ok, as long as the directory has eXecute rights for everyone | 20:35 |
| foxbuntu | plsander, ok...I have to get going, but if it still doesnt work someone else in here will likely be able to help you out | 20:36 |
| Essobi | Anyone using BT878s? | 20:36 |
| plsander | essobi, I have a bt878, but I do not have it on my myth box | 20:39 |
| Essobi | plsander: Oh.. Did you ever get the audio working without a cable? | 20:39 |
| plsander | essobi, my understanding is that there is not a AtoD converter on that card - that audio capture must be done with a sound card, hence the stubby audio cable | 20:40 |
| Essobi | plsander: Well that sucks. | 20:45 |
| plsander | essobi, that's why I ended up with a PVR-350 :-D | 20:46 |
| Essobi | mmm | 20:46 |
| Essobi | Yea, If I'm reading the pinouts right. | 20:58 |
| Essobi | they never even hooked up to the AtoD part of the chip | 20:58 |
| Essobi | that's retarded | 20:58 |
| Essobi | it's on the chip | 20:58 |
| Essobi | BUT HEY | 20:58 |
| Essobi | LETS JU*ST IGNORE THAT | 20:58 |
| Essobi | stupid b*stards | 20:58 |
| plsander | foxbuntu, found the problem... chmod g+s for my storage group dirs... | 21:05 |
| Shadow__X | superm1: is the motd thats supposed to show up with mythtv-status a known bug | 21:22 |
| randyinneed | Hi, I'm installing 9.10 with a hauppauge 250 but my scan for channels button in the connect source to input screen is grayed out | 21:50 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, are you in north america? | 21:51 |
| tgm4883 | !stab foxbuntu | 21:52 |
| * Zinn stabs foxbuntu with a sharpened mce remote. | 21:52 | |
| randyinneed | yes | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | I would guess North Carolina? | 21:52 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883, nice | 21:52 |
| randyinneed | yes | 21:52 |
| * tgm4883 is a Psychic | 21:52 | |
| tgm4883 | foxbuntu, carry on | 21:52 |
| randyinneed | my southern accent gives it away? | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | randyinneed, yep | 21:52 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883, yea..I didnt look as hs connect string before asking | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | foxbuntu, thats ok, I'll just call you a noob and go back to moving how-tos | 21:53 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, have you setup your Schedules Direct account and downloaded the guide data yet? | 21:54 |
| randyinneed | yes | 21:54 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, what type of input are you using? | 21:55 |
| randyinneed | tuner 1 | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, so coax/RG6 correct? | 21:55 |
| randyinneed | yes | 21:55 |
| randyinneed | coax | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, have you selected the data source on your input? | 21:55 |
| randyinneed | If i understand what yur are asking my video source is set to my schedules direct video source | 21:57 |
| foxbuntu | I think thats the correct options | 21:57 |
| foxbuntu | I dont recall the exact wording in the menu | 21:58 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, have you tried to watch TV with it yet? | 21:59 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, because as I recall that option to channel scan got disabled recently in MythTV | 21:59 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, the video/data source needs to be provided (which you have done) | 22:00 |
| randyinneed | yes, it fails. The backend log says it is unable to find channel (or somehing like that) | 22:00 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, please use Mythbuntu Log Grabber to post your logs | 22:00 |
| randyinneed | ok | 22:01 |
| randyinneed | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f32ebd236 | 22:04 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, this is a PVR-250? | 22:05 |
| randyinneed | yes | 22:05 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, which type of tuner did you select in the capture card setup? | 22:06 |
| foxbuntu | V4L? | 22:06 |
| randyinneed | yes | 22:06 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, ah, there is the issue | 22:06 |
| foxbuntu | randyinneed, change it to IVTV | 22:06 |
| randyinneed | ok | 22:07 |
| randyinneed | ah great, that seems to be working. | 22:08 |
| randyinneed | thank you so much | 22:08 |
| foxbuntu | np | 22:09 |
| randyinneed | scan seems to have frozen at 5% | 22:15 |
