| bllz | My channel change script (for my external IR blaster) is buggy. Any 2-digit or higher channel that gets sent will only tune to the first digit. i.e.: 22 will tune to 2 and 15 will tune to 1. Is this a problem with sleep time? | 00:20 |

| mechcozmo | hello, i think i am running into this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/470756 | 00:26 |
| mechcozmo | i have a PVR-500, mythbuntu 9.10, fully updated | 00:27 |
| mechcozmo | can anyone give me some advice on workarounds? | 00:27 |
| bllz | My channel change script (for my external IR blaster) is buggy. Any 2-digit or higher channel that gets sent will only tune to the first digit. i.e.: 22 will tune to 2 and 15 will tune to 1. This *only* happens with the remote... running the script from the command line works fine. What gives? | 01:34 |
| wilberfan | anyone know their way around lirc? I can't get my remote working on my new 9.10 install... but i'm somewhat noobish... | 01:54 |
| wilberfan | I copied most of the config files from a working debian sid box...but not sure if that's the best solution... | 01:54 |
| wilberfan | the lirc daemon doesn't seem to be starting...? | 01:55 |
| bllz | wilberfan: what kind of remote? | 01:55 |
| wilberfan | bllz, it's the grey one that comes with the haupaugge pvr-350... | 01:56 |
| bllz | dark-gray-almost-black with a big windows logo in the middle? | 01:56 |
| bllz | and 4 colored buttons at the bottom? | 01:56 |
| wilberfan | dark grey on top, black on the back side... no windows logo, but yes...4 colored buttons on the bottom end... | 01:57 |
| bllz | hmm. okay... | 01:58 |
| bllz | not the one i was thinking of | 01:58 |
| wilberfan | http://www.accessinfoworld.com/products/images/%20Hauppauge%20WinTV-PVR-350%20TV%20Tuner%20Card_small.jpg | 01:58 |
| bllz | wilberfan: did you see that remote listed when you configured lirc? | 01:59 |
| wilberfan | well, i've been using this remote successfully for more than a year, on, like, 3 different myth installs... | 02:00 |
| wilberfan | so i know it will work... it works now on the debian sid install i have on this same box... | 02:00 |
| wilberfan | here's an error message i got on my last frontend startup: | 02:00 |
| wilberfan | LIRC, Error: Failed to connect to Unix socket '/dev/lircd' | 02:00 |
| wilberfan | eno: No such file or directory (2) | 02:00 |
| bllz | strange | 02:01 |
| wilberfan | and i get 'fail's if i do a '/etc/init.d/lirc restart | 02:01 |
| bllz | hmm | 02:01 |
| bllz | try dpkg-reconfigure lirc | 02:01 |
| bllz | keep your settings the same | 02:01 |
| bllz | and post results | 02:01 |
| wilberfan | do i need to do that as root? | 02:01 |
| wilberfan | jeez, what's the correct "IR transmitter" option? "none", i'm guessing?? I don't have any fancy hardware in this setup... | 02:09 |
| wilberfan | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m7f133066 | 02:09 |
| bllz | wilberfan: no it's probably listed there | 02:10 |
| bllz | you have to figure out what kind of remote you have | 02:10 |
| bllz | and pick it form the list | 02:10 |
| bllz | it should be there | 02:10 |
| bllz | if it's a hauppauge, it'll definitely be there | 02:10 |
| wilberfan | bllz, yeah, i would have...but no 'hauppauge' option... just satellite boxes n' such... | 02:11 |
| bllz | uhh... are you in the remote or transmitter section? | 02:11 |
| wilberfan | uhh...how do i tell for sure.....? | 02:12 |
| bllz | run it again | 02:12 |
| bllz | the second menu is the transmitter section | 02:12 |
| bllz | the first is remotes | 02:12 |
| bllz | and it should be much longer | 02:12 |
| wilberfan | the first box that opens is "configuring lirc"... i DID select the haup there.... | 02:12 |
| bllz | yeah, look more closely at that | 02:13 |
| wilberfan | "Hauppauge TV Card" | 02:13 |
| bllz | that's all it says? | 02:13 |
| wilberfan | There are 4 other Haup options... | 02:13 |
| bllz | what are they? | 02:13 |
| wilberfan | HVR-1100 | 02:13 |
| wilberfan | HVR-1300 | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | Nova T-500 | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | and TV Card | 02:14 |
| bllz | and what's your model? | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | PVR-350 | 02:14 |
| bllz | is that an mpeg2 IVTV card? | 02:14 |
| wilberfan | yeah... | 02:15 |
| bllz | hmm... use the "Hauppauge TV Card" option | 02:15 |
| bllz | 350 is just a dual tuner 150, right? | 02:15 |
| wilberfan | not sure, to be honest... | 02:16 |
| bllz | i think it is | 02:16 |
| bllz | and for the second one, pick none unless you're using an external tuner | 02:16 |
| wilberfan | http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wintvpvr350_datasheet.htm | 02:17 |
| wilberfan | same result... | 02:17 |
| bllz | hmm... lirc still didn't start? | 02:17 |
| wilberfan | "unable to load LIRC kernel modules..." | 02:18 |
| bllz | sounds like you're missing just about everything lirc-related | 02:18 |
| wilberfan | last night i was getting good returns on an irw test... | 02:19 |
| bllz | did you try rebooting? | 02:19 |
| wilberfan | and haven't changed anything since then... | 02:21 |
| wilberfan | wow...that was....odd... | 02:26 |
| * wilberfan wonders if bllz is still onboard... | 02:27 | |
| * bllz is still here | 02:29 | |
| bllz | what happened? | 02:29 |
| wilberfan | cluster-phuck! | 02:31 |
| bllz | go on... | 02:32 |
| wilberfan | where'd we leave off? | 02:32 |
| wilberfan | you thought i was missing everything lirc related... but i said last night i got good returns on an irw test... | 02:32 |
| wilberfan | "is this thing on...?" | 02:36 |

| Guest22407 | I'm setting up Mythbuntu Karmic on a machine with a Hauppage PVR 150 and an ATI HDTV Wonder, however I can't manage to get either to work at the moment. I have a SchedulesDirect account, but I can't seem to get the right settings for MythTV to get my standard cable. Can anyone help me get this setup? | 02:40 |
| Shadow__X | Guest22407: when setting up the pvr 150 you download the lineup | 02:41 |
| Shadow__X | instead of scanning | 02:41 |
| Guest22407 | Shadow__X, Download wasn't working, I don't think. It just said permission denied, but I did the verification for schedulesdirect, so not sure there. | 02:42 |
| Shadow__X | Guest22407: you have to figure out hte permission issue and make sure your username and password is correct | 02:42 |
| Shadow__X | also download lineup can take a bit | 02:42 |
| Guest22407 | Where would I find my "frequency?" | 02:44 |
| Shadow__X | what do you mean | 02:45 |
| Shadow__X | this could help | 02:45 |
| Shadow__X | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index | 02:45 |
| Guest22407 | Shadow__X, It's saying downloading for something, then "unauthorized" then back to downloading, then back to unauthorized then downloading, and back and forth | 02:45 |
| Shadow__X | just leave it | 02:46 |
| Shadow__X | go for a walk it will continue downloading | 02:46 |
| Arpman | Hello all | 02:47 |
| Guest22407 | Shadow__X, OH, I thought that was it failing, and keeping trying. But this is somewhat normal I take it? | 02:47 |
| Shadow__X | it happens | 02:47 |
| Shadow__X | :) | 02:47 |
| Arpman | Can anyone help figure out why my ATI 9800 Pro is not cooperating? | 02:48 |
| Guest22407 | Because when I go to watch it says "Please wait" then back to the main menu | 02:49 |
| Shadow__X | its a ati 9800 pro under linux | 02:49 |
| Shadow__X | thats why | 02:49 |
| Arpman | oh - well I guess I need to get another card - crap | 02:49 |
| Shadow__X | Guest22407: check out the manual i believe there are afew things that are not quite setup proerly yet | 02:49 |
| Shadow__X | Arpman: the open source drivers *should* work | 02:49 |
| Arpman | well it works in X, but myth does not seem to recognize it | 02:50 |
| Arpman | i also get an error when I run aticonfig | 02:50 |
| Arpman | so I'm a bit confuse | 02:51 |
| Arpman | d | 02:51 |
| Arpman | ATI=BAd? | 02:54 |
| Arpman | you get kicked Shadow_X? | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | Arpman, it was a netsplit. Which is different than being kicked | 03:07 |
| bllz | what's a netsplit? | 03:10 |
| Shadow__X | Arpman: yeah i have no powers in this room esp not kicking powers | 03:10 |
| Shadow__X | bllz: think of it as a time out between multiple servers | 03:10 |
| Shadow__X | so it took too long to respond so people get dropped | 03:11 |
| bllz | ooh, so if the latency gets too high, people get kicked? | 03:11 |
| bllz | sort of? | 03:11 |
| Shadow__X | in a way | 03:11 |
| Shadow__X | its more like a dropped call | 03:11 |
| bllz | oh okay | 03:11 |
| Shadow__X | no one is kicking them | 03:12 |
| bllz | well... I may as well post my question here since nobody is talking in mythtv-users | 03:12 |
| bllz | i have a very strange occurrence when changing channels through my blaster | 03:12 |
| bllz | this _only_ happens when I try to manually type in the channel number in the remote | 03:12 |
| bllz | it tunes to the channel, and then tunes back to the channel corresponding to one of the digits | 03:13 |
| bllz | so for example, if I try to tune to 32 by typing "3, 2, OK"... I'll get to 32, then it'll immediately tune to 2 twice | 03:13 |
| bllz | more interestingly, here's an output of my script's log when I only press 9 (and nothing else... no OK, nothing): http://paste.ubuntu.com/341603/ | 03:14 |
| bllz | what gives? | 03:14 |
| Arpman | So Shadow_X - you think I should get a new tuner card? | 03:15 |
| bllz | okay so how about another question... =) | 03:21 |
| bllz | My volume controls don't work in myth. I can see the volume slider move, but the volume doesn't change. same for the mute button. I see "mute on" on the overlay, but sound still plays | 03:22 |
| === gbutters is now known as gbutters_away | ||
| mechcozmo | hello, i'm having problems scanning for channels in mythtv's backend config | 03:39 |
| mechcozmo | i think it is related to this bug:https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/470756 | 03:39 |
| mechcozmo | any suggestions for workarounds/fixes/etc? | 03:41 |
| darthanubis | i never have scanned I always use fetch channels | 03:45 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: i'm using plain vanilla cable | 03:55 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: even with schedules direct account, wouldn't i have to scan for channels? | 03:56 |
| darthanubis | I'm using plain vanilla cable, with SD, and have NEVER used the scan always the fetch. | 04:00 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: hmm | 04:03 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: let me get a trial account and then get back to you... | 04:03 |
| === gbutters_away is now known as gbutters | ||
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: still have no channels | 04:17 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: when i try to connect source to input, Starting Channel is left as "Please add channels to this source" | 04:18 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: even though i have run Fetch channels from listings source | 04:18 |
| darthanubis | it will chabge status after you waited for the channels to fetch fro the source | 04:21 |
| darthanubis | it does not happen instantaneously | 04:22 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: i hit the button to futch from source | 04:27 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: shouldn't it have retrieved all relevant information then? | 04:27 |
| mechcozmo | darthanubis: Fetch channels from listing source does not take a long time to run at all | 04:28 |
| mechcozmo | so, question: is my Fetch Listings from Source broken if it does not retrieve channel information? how can i tell? do i need to scan for channels? | 04:43 |
| mechcozmo | ah, got some channels... now let's see if i can watch TV | 04:52 |
| bllz | does ragetv still work in 9.10? | 05:50 |

| woercel | hi there | 16:36 |
| woercel | i'm using mythbuntu 8.10 without any updates and would like to change to mythtv 0.22 | 16:37 |
| woercel | is this possible? | 16:37 |
| markl_ | is there an easy procedure for using mythbuntu debs on regular ubuntu? | 18:16 |
| mrand | !auto-builds | markl_ | 18:24 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about auto-builds | 18:24 |
| mrand | !autobuilds | markl_ | 18:24 |
| Zinn | markl_: Auto builds are available for MythTV 0.22 for Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic (0.22 and 0.23-trunk). See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info. If you see references to 0.22-trunk, you can ignore the -trunk part :-) | 18:24 |
| mrand | markl_: After adding the repo, simply install mythbuntu-control-centre | 18:25 |
| markl_ | should i uninstall the mythtv packages from the ubuntu repo? | 18:25 |
| markl_ | or can i just do an apt-get update with the mythbuntu repos | 18:26 |
| mrand | oh, I guess I misunderstood your question. Mythbuntu _IS_ based on the mythtv packages in the ubuntu repo. | 18:26 |
| mrand | It simply alters the bootup theme and a few other things | 18:26 |
| markl_ | yeah i just want to get on the mythbuntu nightlies | 18:26 |
| mrand | For that, you just need to enable auto-builds. don't have to remove anything. | 18:27 |
| mrand | It is seemless. | 18:27 |
| mrand | the later versions (within auto-builds) will be offered as an update after you update your repo. | 18:27 |
| markl_ | hmm, i did apt-get upgrade and none of the myth packages were updated | 18:28 |
| markl_ | i have this in the repos: | 18:28 |
| markl_ | deb http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/,/ubuntu helena main | 18:28 |
| mrand | uhhh, that looks strange to me. | 18:29 |
| markl_ | and a couple of ppa.launchpad.net ones | 18:29 |
| mrand | comma in the path? helena? | 18:29 |
| markl_ | there was a mythbuntu-repos.deb on the site that i installed | 18:29 |
| markl_ | helena == 9.10 | 18:29 |
| markl_ | er | 18:29 |
| markl_ | linux mint 9.10 | 18:29 |
| markl_ | ok i see how that might cause a problem :) | 18:29 |
| mrand | yeah. | 18:29 |
| mrand | :-) | 18:30 |
| markl_ | can i just remove the deb and then fix mythbuntu-repos.list? why is it a deb instead of just the sources list | 18:31 |
| markl_ | just curious | 18:31 |
| markl_ | hmm are there autobuilds for karmic? | 18:33 |
| mrand | Netsplits are annoying. | 18:33 |
| mrand | markkl_: The developer made it more like an installer which asks which version you want to track (0.22, 0.23, or trunk as I recall) | 18:33 |
| markl_ | i just see hardy & intrepid | 18:33 |
| mrand | yes, absolutely. | 18:33 |
| rhpot1991 | markl_: yes there are | 18:33 |
| markl_ | is this url wrong: http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu/dists/ | 18:33 |
| markl_ | rm -rf netsplits | 18:33 |
| mrand | http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu/dists/ | 18:34 |
| mrand | errr | 18:34 |
| mrand | http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/trunk-0.22/ubuntu/dists/ | 18:34 |
| mrand | or https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/trunk-0.22 | 18:34 |
| markl_ | ah ok cool | 18:34 |
| mrand | That last one has the deb line | 18:35 |
| markl_ | excellent, seems to be working | 18:36 |
| markl_ | is there a gpg key? | 18:36 |
| markl_ | annoying warnings, not really a big deal | 18:36 |
| markl_ | and also - 0.22 doesn't seem to detect a ripped dvd iso, it just lists the VOB files in the video browser. is this normal? | 18:36 |
| markl_ | 0.21 seemed to do the right thing | 18:36 |
| mrand | !iso | 18:37 |
| Zinn | Storage Groups are a streaming method of transmitting material to a frontend, meaning they don't provide block-level access to the file in question. An ISO is a disk image, and requires block-level access. Upstream has a plan to simulate a block device across the network using NBD for 0.23. Until then you can use the following workaround: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/7 | 18:37 |
| mrand | markl_: ^ | 18:37 |
| * mrand wonders why we haven't moved that to the mythbuntu wiki or web site. | 18:38 | |
| markl_ | why did it work in myth 0.21? | 18:38 |
| mrand | Mythvideo was completely redone for 0.22 | 18:38 |
| markl_ | i'm pretty happy with the ridiculous nfs server i built for mythtv | 18:39 |
| markl_ | ah ok i can just put the isos in one area | 18:39 |
| mrand | The above iso thing only applies if you are using storage groups... I assume that is the case for you. | 18:39 |
| mrand | yep | 18:39 |
| markl_ | i didn't set up storage groups, is that enabled by default? | 18:40 |
| markl_ | i just have an nfs mount with all my videos, same one i used with 0.21 | 18:40 |
| tgm4883 | markl_, did you do a fresh install? | 18:40 |
| markl_ | tgm4883: yes | 18:40 |
| tgm4883 | did you restore your old DB? | 18:40 |
| markl_ | no | 18:41 |
| markl_ | i just did scan from the video menu | 18:41 |
| tgm4883 | thats why. It is a new default in 0.22 | 18:41 |
| tgm4883 | well | 18:41 |
| markl_ | and put my nfs path | 18:41 |
| markl_ | in the video config | 18:41 |
| tgm4883 | a new default in Mythbuntu's implementation of 0.22 (the storage groups) | 18:41 |
| markl_ | the developers should have put their effort into mythmusic instead of breaking the video browser | 18:42 |
| markl_ | mythmusic sucks hard | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | markl_, i'm sure you can bring that up at the next development meeting | 18:43 |
| markl_ | ok i have /var/lib/mythtv/recordings on its own device, and the mythtv packages wouldn't update til i unmounted it | 18:57 |
| markl_ | and it griped that the videos & music were read-only nfs mounts | 18:57 |
| markl_ | but apart from that it seemed to work so far, thanks for the help! | 18:58 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 18:58 |
| tgm4883 | mrand, ^^ thoughts? | 18:59 |
| mrand | tgm4883: nothing beyond the normal permissions & ownership for the path | 19:00 |
| superm1 | markl_, would you mind putting a set -x in the postinst for the package that was failing to upgrade? | 19:02 |
| superm1 | you'll find it in /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGE.postinst | 19:02 |
| superm1 | and then run dpkg-reconfigure $PACKAGE | 19:02 |
| markl_ | not at all | 19:02 |
| superm1 | pastebin the output and we can see what's happening | 19:02 |
| superm1 | odds are we just need a || true somewhere | 19:02 |
| markl_ | let me see if it still happens | 19:03 |
| markl_ | the error was unable to stat `./var/lib/mythtv/recordings' (which I was about to install): Success | 19:04 |
| markl_ | doesn't seem to happen when i do a reconfigure | 19:05 |
| markl_ | it did complain that mythtv-backend was already running | 19:05 |
| markl_ | ok i'll see if i can duplicate it, hmm | 19:05 |
| * superm1 waves hand. | 19:06 | |
