[00:13] <bllz> My channel changing script (for IR transmitter) works perfectly for all 2 digit channels but inexplicably fails when trying to tune to triple-digit channels.  Can anybody help me debug this issue?  I've tried changing the sleep time on line 10, but to no avail... I don't know _anything_ about scripting, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here's the script:  http://pastebin.com/m7dd3a089

[01:05] <darthanubis> rhpot1991, I found the page, but not the file
[01:06] <darthanubis> I have not remebered yet the correct syntax to edit the file
[01:12] <darthanubis> with mythtv work with OSS4?
[01:52] <bllz> I cannot control the volume and mute with my MCE USB remote.  The volume slider and mute overlay both appear in the myth frontend, but there is no corresponding change in the sound.  My audio output device is ALSA:default and I've tried changing the mixer controls back and forth between PCM and Master.  What should I try next?
[04:35] <MythbuntuGuest58> hello there i have mythbuntu 9.10 and a hauppauge hvr 850 usb and for some reason i can t get analog cable scanned and my digital channels all have artifacts in em
[05:14] <MythbuntuGuest58> anyone???
[05:33] <MythbuntuGuest58> noone any idea on how to get the analog to work on a hvr 850??
[05:34] <bllz> MythbuntuGuest58:  try #mythtv-users
[06:51] <zombu3> can someone tell me what this error means??? http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1721066
[16:15] <zombu3> anyone here that could help me with a lil problem on my hvr-850 card?
[16:21] <darthanubis> !ask
[16:21] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[16:24] <zombu3> well i need help to get the analog side of my hvr-850 going i have grabbed teh cable list from schedulesdirect but when i click watch tv it goes back to the main menu after a couple seconds
[16:27] <zombu3> here is teh log of my backend but i don t get anything out of it http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1721413
[17:14] <mrand> Howdy zombu3, did you look over that backend log?
[17:17] <zombu3> yes but i m too much of a noob to understand
[17:18] <mrand> Lines 18 through 23 mean that you are missing something in your tuner/capture config.  It is a two step process within mythtv-setup.
[17:18] <zombu3> ok..
[17:18] <zombu3> like i said i m a dumbass when it comes to mythtv
[17:19] <zombu3> i prolly messed it up myself and don t even know it
[17:20] <mrand> no problem.  As I recall, the first step is creating/configuring your capture card.
[17:20] <zombu3> yes
[17:21] <zombu3> there should be a v4l for analog and a dvb for digital
[17:21] <mrand> Then the second step is to define channels and such, and when you do that, as I recall, you assign channels to those card(s).
[17:22] <mrand> The log seems to be saying that the cards don't have any channels assigned to them.
[17:22] <zombu3> yes i downloaded from schedulesdirect and fetched the listing then set the lineup to the v4l analog part
[17:22] <zombu3> scan does not work
[17:22] <zombu3> there s no option
[17:23] <mrand> yeah, scan is troublesome for many.  But if you are using schedules direct, no scan is necessary.
[17:23] <zombu3> yeah i did that called it analog and assigned it to the v4l television input
[17:24] <mrand> ok.  And then you exited and ran mythfilldatabase?  Did that seem to find stuff from schedules direct?
[17:24] <zombu3> yes took a long time on first start
[17:25] <zombu3> then after mythfilldtabase i click watch tv and it says please wait then goes back to the main menu
[17:25] <mrand> Yeah, mythfilldatabase isn't the fastest operation.
[17:27] <mrand> I'm sorry, down at the bottom, it indicates that you have the tuners/inputs/channels configured correctly.  The early errors threw me - looks like you fixed those and moved on.
[17:28] <zombu3> well if you want i can give you another log with the latest errors on the bottom
[17:28] <zombu3> http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1721457
[17:31] <zombu3>  Channel(/dev/video0) Error: InitPictureAttribute(    colour): failed to query controls.
[17:31] <mrand> If you "cat /dev/video0" or "cat /dev/video1" do you get anything (from a shell/terminal window)
[17:31] <mrand> yes
[17:31] <zombu3> this is what throws me off
[17:33] <zombu3> no cat does not show me anything
[17:33] <psicobra> i am trying to get a dvb-s card working i have found a web pagw witch is supposed to have a working solution but i have no clue what to do with it maybe one of you can take a look the page is http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/38163
[17:34] <mrand> zombu3: are you on 9.10/karmic?
[17:35] <zombu3> yes
[17:35] <mrand> ok, not an old kernel problem then.
[17:35] <zombu3> also ran the updates
[17:36] <zombu3> would it be easyer to determin the problem with ssh access??
[17:36] <mrand> btw, you should also update  auto-builds to get the latest 0.22 bug fixes
[17:37] <zombu3> how would i do that
[17:37] <mrand> probably not... I'm not a digital card expert.
[17:37] <mrand> !auto%
[17:37] <Zinn> If 9.10 upgrade broke auto-login for you, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463314
[17:37] <mrand> oops
[17:37] <mrand> !autobuilds
[17:37] <Zinn> 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 :-)
[17:38] <mrand> psicobra: that is pretty old stuff... don't think that is included/fixed in the kernel by now?
[17:38] <zombu3> well this autobuild stuff how would i go to update them
[17:39] <psicobra> well my card doesnt seem to be working
[17:39] <psicobra> so i really don't know
[17:40] <mrand> zombu3: if you just click the download repos package.  It walks you through it.  then you "reload" or "update" or "check" in synaptic or update-manager.
[17:40] <zombu3> facepalm
[17:41] <mrand> zombu3: but having said that, if viewing video through mplayer, vlc, or cat doesn't work, it isn't likely to worth via myth
[17:41] <mrand> psicobra: ^^^ goes for your setup too.  Get it working outside of myth first, then tackle myth.
[17:41] <mrand> worth=work
[17:41] <zombu3> well i noticed something yesterday
[17:42] <zombu3> myth wants to use v4l but in vlc i have the option to use v4l-2 and i can open the card and i see static
[17:42] <psicobra> mrand, i have no clue
[17:43] <psicobra> any chance of some one talking me through it
[17:44] <mrand> psicobra: you'll need to try viewing video from your capture device via mplayer or vlc first.  Not sure which is easier.  I happen to have vlc up... if you open it up, then you can say Media -> open capture device
[17:45] <psicobra> k 2 secs
[17:45] <psicobra> it is a dvb-s card will that matter?
[17:46] <mrand> I don't think so.
[17:46] <mrand> zombu3: what is connected to your analog input?
[17:46] <zombu3> comcast cable
[17:47] <zombu3> if i open vlc and try to open the cards with v4l it says cannot open but when i try with video for linux 2 it opens up and i see static
[17:47] <Daremonai> Hello, I'm trying to install mythtv on ubuntu 9.10 from synaptic, and i got the following error: can't read /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf: No such file or directory - should i just create that file and let it re-run?
[17:48] <zombu3> so i m guessing there must be a setting in myth to use the video for linux 2
[17:49] <mrand> zombu3: can you research a way to change the channel on your tuner outside of myth?  there should be a way... change the channel to something you know should work (i.e., something your TV shows without a cable box).
[17:50] <mrand> Daremonai: what gave that error?
[17:50] <Daremonai> the installation of mythtv (after picking mythtv from synaptic.. clicked install, and as it was insalling, it gave that error and stopped installation)
[17:51] <zombu3> let me find out is there a prog in mythbuntu i can install as external tv app ???
[17:52] <Daremonai> mrand, i just did touch mythtv.cnf in /etc/mysql/conf.d/ and am gonna try reinstalling the mythtv-database
[17:52] <mrand> zombu3: just like you can manually watch via vlc or mplayer or cat, there should be a way to change channels.  vlc or mplayer may even provide a way, but since I do'nt have that card, you'll have to look around a bit.
[17:52] <Daremonai> (which is the reason it gave that error btw)
[17:52] <mrand> Daremonai: I'm guessing you don't have a backend installed.
[17:52] <zombu3> kk lemme look around
[17:52] <Daremonai> mrand, you mean mysql?
[17:53] <Daremonai> mrand, or mythtv-backend?
[17:53] <mrand> Daremonai: My standard suggestion is to install mythbuntu-control-centre and go through that.  It will insure you have everything you need installed.
[17:55] <Daremonai> mrand, it's not in the repository?
[17:55] <mrand> Daremonai: yep.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=mythbuntu-control-centre
[17:56] <mrand> It's in universe, anyway.
[17:56] <mrand> !autobuilds | Daremonai
[17:56] <Zinn> Daremonai: 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 :-)
[17:56] <mrand> I'd suggest enabling that too, to get the latest myth bug fixes.
[17:57] <Daremonai> isn't mythbuntu a distro? i'm using normal ubuntu
[17:58] <Daremonai> anyway.. i just found mythbuntu-control-centre... i will install it now
[17:58] <mrand> Daremonai: technically yes, it's a distro, but anything that applies to it applies to standard ubuntu.  I run standard ubuntu, actually.
[17:58] <Daremonai> ah.. alright
[17:59] <mrand> zombu3: possibly one of the things under advanced options within vlc
[17:59] <mrand> errr... within the "open capture devices" screen.
[17:59] <mrand> on vlc
[18:01] <mrand> guys, I gotta run for now... Christmas presents need to get finished before the wife gets back.  Keep hacking away at it.... search ubuntu forums, mythtv-users mailing list, and google in general.  If all fails, either post something to ubuntu forums, or here (but be prepared for a possibly long wait... no telling when I or someone else may be around)
[18:03] <Daremonai> alright.. tahnks for your help mrand
[18:03] <Daremonai> mrand, and gl with the christmas shopping :)
[18:29] <tritium> rhpot1991: making good progress on packaging hdhomerun_config_gui?
[18:30] <zombu3> how do i force video for linux 2 in mythbuntu
[18:49] <zombu3> ok i can now see analog tv on vlc but mythtv still gives me crap
[19:01] <zombu3> here s the log avattr
[19:02] <rhpot1991> tritium: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/10
[19:02] <rhpot1991> :)
[19:02] <zombu3> http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1721533
[19:04] <rhpot1991> tritium: I have a few things to look at still, but they are fully functional
[19:05] <zombu3> so yo know what you are doing huh
[19:14] <markl_> ok i have a subtitle question.  i have a movie here that shows subtitles in vlc but mythtv says no subtitles available
[19:15] <markl_> i am not too familiar with subtitles though, is there a good way to troubleshoot them?
[19:16] <markl_> i understand that there are way too many different ways to do them
[19:26] <Daremonai> how can i use vlc on my laptop (windows) to play the videos (stream) from my ubuntu server that is running mythtv?
[19:29] <zombu3> how can i fix this error Channel(/dev/video1) Error: InitPictureAttribute(    colour): failed to query controls.
[19:34] <rhpot1991> Daremonai: mythweb can do that for you, there is a windows mythtv player as well but its out dated (not sure it will work in .22)
[19:35] <rhpot1991> http://sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/
[19:35] <Daremonai> rhpot1991: why can't vlc stream from mythtv?
[19:35] <rhpot1991> Daremonai: I'm not certain if it can't, I'm just telling you things I know that can do what you want
[19:36] <Daremonai> rhpot1991: ah.. alright... doesn't mythtv work with upnp?
[19:36] <rhpot1991> yes it does, so that is another option
[19:36] <Daremonai> hmm.. how do i enable that then?
[19:37] <Daremonai> also, through upnp, i'm guessing I could pick the movie/show i want right?
[19:37] <rhpot1991> you lose some features with that, like commercial skipping
[19:37] <rhpot1991> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UPnP
[19:37] <Daremonai> ah.. i don't care about that.. i already have my shows.. i just wanna play the shows i have on my disk
[19:38] <rhpot1991> you could dual boot the laptop too
[19:38] <Daremonai> hehe yeah.. but that's kinda not what i have in mind :)
[19:44] <tritium> rhpot1991: awesome.
[19:44] <tritium> rhpot1991: Was it tricky working out the soname issues, etc.?
[19:45] <rhpot1991> tritium: their build system is a pain, I had to break it out
[19:45] <rhpot1991> made a library package and then the gui build-depends it
[19:46] <rhpot1991> I had to patch the gui's make files for that as well
[19:48] <tritium> rhpot1991: yep, as I expected you'd have to.
[19:49] <tritium> Thanks for finishing what I couldn't.  :)
[19:50] <rhpot1991> tritium: no problem, thanks for taking a try with it
[19:50] <rhpot1991> still need to clean up some things and get it approved for lucid
[19:51] <tritium> rhpot1991: that rocks!
[20:53] <MythbuntuGuest49> how can i force mythbuntu to use v4l2 instear of v4l
[20:55] <iamlindoro> myth uses v4l2 by default
[20:55] <iamlindoro> you don't have a choice in the matter
[20:56] <MythbuntuGuest49> well my capture card only works in v4l2 and for some reason mythbuntu chooses v4l
[20:56] <iamlindoro> Waht give you that ideA?
[20:56] <iamlindoro> myth doesn't have any pure v4l1 code left at all
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest49> i start vlc and try to open the card with v4l and i get a can t open error i do it again with v4l2 and i see analog pic
[20:57] <iamlindoro> so what's that got to do with myth?
[20:57] <MythbuntuGuest49> well i m guessing that could be the prob
[20:57] <iamlindoro> again, no pure original v4l code left in Myth
[20:57] <iamlindoro> it's a deprecated api which is no longer used
[20:58] <MythbuntuGuest49> so what can i do to fix it
[20:58] <iamlindoro> dunno, but you are after the wrong cause
[20:58] <MythbuntuGuest49> hmm ok what would you suggest
[20:59] <iamlindoro> it's almost assuredly a setup issue, or a driver issue, more likely the former
[20:59] <MythbuntuGuest49> ok i can believe the setup issue
[20:59] <MythbuntuGuest49> if you would be so kind and help me out a lil i would apreciate that
[21:00] <iamlindoro> Sorry, my focus is on other things this weekend, no time to get into deep dark troubleshooting
[21:01] <MythbuntuGuest49> maybe it s just something stupid if i paste you a backend log would you have a quick look only
[21:06] <MythbuntuGuest49> anyways if someone would be so kind looking at my log http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1721661
