[00:20] 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? [00:26] hello, i think i am running into this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/470756 [00:27] i have a PVR-500, mythbuntu 9.10, fully updated [00:27] can anyone give me some advice on workarounds? [01:34] 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? [01:54] 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] I copied most of the config files from a working debian sid box...but not sure if that's the best solution... [01:55] the lirc daemon doesn't seem to be starting...? [01:55] wilberfan: what kind of remote? [01:56] bllz, it's the grey one that comes with the haupaugge pvr-350... [01:56] dark-gray-almost-black with a big windows logo in the middle? [01:56] and 4 colored buttons at the bottom? [01:57] dark grey on top, black on the back side... no windows logo, but yes...4 colored buttons on the bottom end... [01:58] hmm. okay... [01:58] not the one i was thinking of [01:58] http://www.accessinfoworld.com/products/images/%20Hauppauge%20WinTV-PVR-350%20TV%20Tuner%20Card_small.jpg [01:59] wilberfan: did you see that remote listed when you configured lirc? [02:00] well, i've been using this remote successfully for more than a year, on, like, 3 different myth installs... [02:00] so i know it will work... it works now on the debian sid install i have on this same box... [02:00] here's an error message i got on my last frontend startup: [02:00] LIRC, Error: Failed to connect to Unix socket '/dev/lircd' [02:00] eno: No such file or directory (2) [02:01] strange [02:01] and i get 'fail's if i do a '/etc/init.d/lirc restart [02:01] hmm [02:01] try dpkg-reconfigure lirc [02:01] keep your settings the same [02:01] and post results [02:01] do i need to do that as root? [02:09] jeez, what's the correct "IR transmitter" option? "none", i'm guessing?? I don't have any fancy hardware in this setup... [02:09] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m7f133066 [02:10] wilberfan: no it's probably listed there [02:10] you have to figure out what kind of remote you have [02:10] and pick it form the list [02:10] it should be there [02:10] if it's a hauppauge, it'll definitely be there [02:11] bllz, yeah, i would have...but no 'hauppauge' option... just satellite boxes n' such... [02:11] uhh... are you in the remote or transmitter section? [02:12] uhh...how do i tell for sure.....? [02:12] run it again [02:12] the second menu is the transmitter section [02:12] the first is remotes [02:12] and it should be much longer [02:12] the first box that opens is "configuring lirc"... i DID select the haup there.... [02:13] yeah, look more closely at that [02:13] "Hauppauge TV Card" [02:13] that's all it says? [02:13] There are 4 other Haup options... [02:13] what are they? [02:13] HVR-1100 [02:14] HVR-1300 [02:14] Nova T-500 [02:14] and TV Card [02:14] and what's your model? [02:14] PVR-350 [02:14] is that an mpeg2 IVTV card? [02:15] yeah... [02:15] hmm... use the "Hauppauge TV Card" option [02:15] 350 is just a dual tuner 150, right? [02:16] not sure, to be honest... [02:16] i think it is [02:16] and for the second one, pick none unless you're using an external tuner [02:17] http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wintvpvr350_datasheet.htm [02:17] same result... [02:17] hmm... lirc still didn't start? [02:18] "unable to load LIRC kernel modules..." [02:18] sounds like you're missing just about everything lirc-related [02:19] last night i was getting good returns on an irw test... [02:19] did you try rebooting? [02:21] and haven't changed anything since then... [02:26] wow...that was....odd... [02:27] * wilberfan wonders if bllz is still onboard... [02:29] * bllz is still here [02:29] what happened? [02:31] cluster-phuck! [02:32] go on... [02:32] where'd we leave off? [02:32] you thought i was missing everything lirc related... but i said last night i got good returns on an irw test... [02:36] "is this thing on...?" === mike is now known as Guest22407 [02:40] 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? [02:41] Guest22407: when setting up the pvr 150 you download the lineup [02:41] instead of scanning [02:42] 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] Guest22407: you have to figure out hte permission issue and make sure your username and password is correct [02:42] also download lineup can take a bit [02:44] Where would I find my "frequency?" [02:45] what do you mean [02:45] this could help [02:45] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index [02:45] Shadow__X, It's saying downloading for something, then "unauthorized" then back to downloading, then back to unauthorized then downloading, and back and forth [02:46] just leave it [02:46] go for a walk it will continue downloading [02:47] Hello all [02:47] Shadow__X, OH, I thought that was it failing, and keeping trying. But this is somewhat normal I take it? [02:47] it happens [02:47] :) [02:48] Can anyone help figure out why my ATI 9800 Pro is not cooperating? [02:49] Because when I go to watch it says "Please wait" then back to the main menu [02:49] its a ati 9800 pro under linux [02:49] thats why [02:49] oh - well I guess I need to get another card - crap [02:49] Guest22407: check out the manual i believe there are afew things that are not quite setup proerly yet [02:49] Arpman: the open source drivers *should* work [02:50] well it works in X, but myth does not seem to recognize it [02:50] i also get an error when I run aticonfig [02:51] so I'm a bit confuse [02:51] d [02:54] ATI=BAd? [02:55] you get kicked Shadow_X? [03:07] Arpman, it was a netsplit. Which is different than being kicked [03:10] what's a netsplit? [03:10] Arpman: yeah i have no powers in this room esp not kicking powers [03:10] bllz: think of it as a time out between multiple servers [03:11] so it took too long to respond so people get dropped [03:11] ooh, so if the latency gets too high, people get kicked? [03:11] sort of? [03:11] in a way [03:11] its more like a dropped call [03:11] oh okay [03:12] no one is kicking them [03:12] well... I may as well post my question here since nobody is talking in mythtv-users [03:12] i have a very strange occurrence when changing channels through my blaster [03:12] this _only_ happens when I try to manually type in the channel number in the remote [03:13] it tunes to the channel, and then tunes back to the channel corresponding to one of the digits [03:13] 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 [03:14] 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] what gives? [03:15] So Shadow_X - you think I should get a new tuner card? [03:21] okay so how about another question... =) [03:22] 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 === gbutters is now known as gbutters_away [03:39] hello, i'm having problems scanning for channels in mythtv's backend config [03:39] i think it is related to this bug:https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/470756 [03:41] any suggestions for workarounds/fixes/etc? [03:45] i never have scanned I always use fetch channels [03:55] darthanubis: i'm using plain vanilla cable [03:56] darthanubis: even with schedules direct account, wouldn't i have to scan for channels? [04:00] I'm using plain vanilla cable, with SD, and have NEVER used the scan always the fetch. [04:03] darthanubis: hmm [04:03] darthanubis: let me get a trial account and then get back to you... === gbutters_away is now known as gbutters [04:17] darthanubis: still have no channels [04:18] darthanubis: when i try to connect source to input, Starting Channel is left as "Please add channels to this source" [04:18] darthanubis: even though i have run Fetch channels from listings source [04:21] it will chabge status after you waited for the channels to fetch fro the source [04:22] it does not happen instantaneously [04:27] darthanubis: i hit the button to futch from source [04:27] darthanubis: shouldn't it have retrieved all relevant information then? [04:28] darthanubis: Fetch channels from listing source does not take a long time to run at all [04:43] 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? [04:52] ah, got some channels... now let's see if i can watch TV [05:50] does ragetv still work in 9.10? === Essobi_ is now known as Essobi [12:08] Hi all, I had to restart my mythbuntu 9.10 yesterday and there seemes to have been some sort of updates that has messed the MySQL some how when I restart MySQL I get te following "Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables" before that it says "Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ok]" does anyone has any Ideas on what to do ? I have googled with out luck ... [13:10] Hi all, I had to restart my mythbuntu 9.10 yesterday and there seemes to have been some sort of updates that has messed the MySQL some how when I restart MySQL I get te following "Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables" before that it says "Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ok]" does anyone has any Ideas on what to do ? I have googled with out luck ... [16:36] hi there [16:37] i'm using mythbuntu 8.10 without any updates and would like to change to mythtv 0.22 [16:37] is this possible? [18:16] is there an easy procedure for using mythbuntu debs on regular ubuntu? [18:24] !auto-builds | markl_ [18:24] Sorry I don't know about auto-builds [18:24] !autobuilds | markl_ [18:24] 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 :-) [18:25] markl_: After adding the repo, simply install mythbuntu-control-centre [18:25] should i uninstall the mythtv packages from the ubuntu repo? [18:26] or can i just do an apt-get update with the mythbuntu repos [18:26] oh, I guess I misunderstood your question. Mythbuntu _IS_ based on the mythtv packages in the ubuntu repo. [18:26] It simply alters the bootup theme and a few other things [18:26] yeah i just want to get on the mythbuntu nightlies [18:27] For that, you just need to enable auto-builds. don't have to remove anything. [18:27] It is seemless. [18:27] the later versions (within auto-builds) will be offered as an update after you update your repo. [18:28] hmm, i did apt-get upgrade and none of the myth packages were updated [18:28] i have this in the repos: [18:28] deb http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/,/ubuntu helena main [18:29] uhhh, that looks strange to me. [18:29] and a couple of ppa.launchpad.net ones [18:29] comma in the path? helena? [18:29] there was a mythbuntu-repos.deb on the site that i installed [18:29] helena == 9.10 [18:29] er [18:29] linux mint 9.10 [18:29] ok i see how that might cause a problem :) [18:29] yeah. [18:30] :-) [18:31] 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] just curious [18:33] hmm are there autobuilds for karmic? [18:33] Netsplits are annoying. [18:33] 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] i just see hardy & intrepid [18:33] yes, absolutely. [18:33] markl_: yes there are [18:33] is this url wrong: http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu/dists/ [18:33] rm -rf netsplits [18:34] http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu/dists/ [18:34] errr [18:34] http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/trunk-0.22/ubuntu/dists/ [18:34] or https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/trunk-0.22 [18:34] ah ok cool [18:35] That last one has the deb line [18:36] excellent, seems to be working [18:36] is there a gpg key? [18:36] annoying warnings, not really a big deal [18:36] 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] 0.21 seemed to do the right thing [18:37] !iso [18:37] 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] markl_: ^ [18:38] * mrand wonders why we haven't moved that to the mythbuntu wiki or web site. [18:38] why did it work in myth 0.21? [18:38] Mythvideo was completely redone for 0.22 [18:39] i'm pretty happy with the ridiculous nfs server i built for mythtv [18:39] ah ok i can just put the isos in one area [18:39] The above iso thing only applies if you are using storage groups... I assume that is the case for you. [18:39] yep [18:40] i didn't set up storage groups, is that enabled by default? [18:40] i just have an nfs mount with all my videos, same one i used with 0.21 [18:40] markl_, did you do a fresh install? [18:40] tgm4883: yes [18:40] did you restore your old DB? [18:41] no [18:41] i just did scan from the video menu [18:41] thats why. It is a new default in 0.22 [18:41] well [18:41] and put my nfs path [18:41] in the video config [18:41] a new default in Mythbuntu's implementation of 0.22 (the storage groups) [18:42] the developers should have put their effort into mythmusic instead of breaking the video browser [18:42] mythmusic sucks hard [18:43] markl_, i'm sure you can bring that up at the next development meeting [18:57] ok i have /var/lib/mythtv/recordings on its own device, and the mythtv packages wouldn't update til i unmounted it [18:57] and it griped that the videos & music were read-only nfs mounts [18:58] but apart from that it seemed to work so far, thanks for the help! [18:58] hmm [18:59] mrand, ^^ thoughts? [19:00] tgm4883: nothing beyond the normal permissions & ownership for the path [19:02] markl_, would you mind putting a set -x in the postinst for the package that was failing to upgrade? [19:02] you'll find it in /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGE.postinst [19:02] and then run dpkg-reconfigure $PACKAGE [19:02] not at all [19:02] pastebin the output and we can see what's happening [19:02] odds are we just need a || true somewhere [19:03] let me see if it still happens [19:04] the error was unable to stat `./var/lib/mythtv/recordings' (which I was about to install): Success [19:05] doesn't seem to happen when i do a reconfigure [19:05] it did complain that mythtv-backend was already running [19:05] ok i'll see if i can duplicate it, hmm [19:06] * superm1 waves hand. [19:06] "These are not the drones you are looking for" [19:34] Is there any way to get the TVrageImport script to work in in mythbuntu 9.10? Here's a link to the project site: http://code.google.com/p/tvrageimport/
