Hilikusthis is on ubuntu server, i don't have MCC21:00
Hilikusmcc is media control center?21:00
rhpot1991mythbuntu-control-centre21:03

rhpot1991should be system->administration I think21:14
rhpot1991or just launch it from a terminal21:14
Hilikusthanks, i got it21:24
bllzzI can't control the volume or mute function from within myth using my MCE USB remote.  Everything else works.  When i try to adjust the volume or to mute the sound, I see the appropriate overlay show up in the frontend (i.e. the volume slider) but there is no corresponding change in sound.  I tried changing between PCM and Master in the sound options, but that doesn't work.  What can I try next?21:35
MythbuntuGuest98my videos will not play after cover art was fetched. they worked shortly and then stopped. If i go in and change the filename they will work again, this keeps happening.21:54
iamlindoroYou are running a pre-release copy of .22.  Activate the nightly build repository, update to the current packages, and it will stop happening22:00
iamlindoro!autobuilds22:00
ZinnAuto 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 :-)22:00
iamlindoroHaha, go me22:01
MythbuntuGuest08how do you enable this?22:02
iamlindoroMythbuntuGuest08: See above link22:05
henrik__the autobuilds for mythbuntu how often are they released? I changed to mythbuntus autobuilds for about two weeks ago and have not recived an update.22:27
iamlindoroThey're updated when -fixes is22:28
iamlindorothere has been little commit activity to myth at all the last few weeks, and little to none if -fixes22:29
iamlindoroer in -fixes22:29
MythbuntuGuest98i installed it and chose to update to .23 yet my videos still do not play22:29
iamlindoroMythbuntuGuest08: Yikes, why did you choose trunk/.23?22:30
iamlindoroAnyway, they're not going to just magically start playing, you need to fix them, then they will not break themselves any more22:30
henrik__iamlindoro, is that cause it's perfect or is it lack of intrest?22:30
MythbuntuGuest98should i go back?22:30
henrik__MythbuntuGuest08, if you can do that, .23 is very expremental22:31
iamlindoroMythbuntuGuest98: Yes, but that will mean restoring your database since you now have one which is incompatible with .2222:31
MythbuntuGuest98not much on there anyway22:31
iamlindorohenrik__: It's Christmastime and we all have families/lives22:31
iamlindoroalso because we broke our rear ends on .22 and most of the core devs rightly want a break22:32
iamlindoro.23 will be very incremental, with .24 probably bringing more major features22:32
henrik__okej that is good news, not some other project (except jesus) that is taking precious time ;)22:33
henrik__well i'm very happy with .2222:33
MythbuntuGuest98okay so how do i fix them once i go back to .22?22:33
henrik__but I'm mostly a livetv watcher.22:33
henrik__MythbuntuGuest98, these problems should not occur in .2222:34
henrik__I did not have these problems so ones you have gone back with db and application it should be fine22:34
iamlindorono, he has broken video entries22:35
iamlindorosince he is running the "release" Mythbuntu 9.10 which did not contain the final release of .2222:35
iamlindorothus it's running a copy of Jamu with a bug which is breaking video DB entries22:35
iamlindorocurrent fixes doesn't have that problem, he would have been fine had he simply chosen .22 autobuilds22:35
henrik__aoo I got that problem to..22:36
henrik__but I just disabled jamu22:36
iamlindoroSimply being on current -fixes is enough22:36
henrik__well in the wiki it says that if you are puting the imdb# by hand you should have it disabled22:37
henrik__so I did22:37
MythbuntuGuest98so since i messed up and chose .23 do i need to reinstall from scratch... or can i go back to .2222:38
iamlindoroMythbuntuGuest98: Don't know what the best way to restore to a previous version is with Mythbuntu since I don't use it, but generally speaking you can remove the .23 packages, install .22 ones, and restore the copy of the database from before the upgrade22:39
henrik__MythbuntuGuest98, If you don't have the db or don't know how to do it, reinstalling is the best way..22:39
henrik__and when you have done that look at the application http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb22:40
henrik__do an update of the system an enjoy a very good and stable mythtv..22:40
MythbuntuGuest98i hardly have anything in this system... however I would prefer not to reinstall the whole thing.22:42
MythbuntuGuest98how would i remove .23 and and install .22?22:42
henrik__apt-get remove .....22:42
henrik__however you will need to restore your mysql db from .2222:43
henrik__if you don't have that saved you are in some problem..22:43
MythbuntuGuest98so a reinstall it is!22:43
henrik__if you don't have alot saved on your system and is not good ubuntu/mysql user please consider a restall22:44
henrik__.23 will problebly be out final in a year or two..22:44
MythbuntuGuest98i will reinstall... thanks guys... will this new .22 fix the iso issue?22:44
iamlindorohenrik__: .23 is out on March 1st22:45
iamlindoroWe are doing four month cycles from now on22:45
iamlindoroMythbuntuGuest98: No, No version of .22 will support ISOs in storage groups-- it's not a bug, it's unimplemented22:45
henrik__iamlindoro, ooohh! that was a first, are the developers up for that?22:45
iamlindorohenrik__: yes, we are22:46
henrik__nice!!! I have always seen mythtv as beeing released "when ready" :P22:46
henrik__hope it will remain as bugg free as posible.22:46
hipitihopMy recent updates are showing the following as being kept back, any suggestions ? libxine1 libxine1-bin libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-misc-plugins22:49
hipitihop  libxine1-x nvidia-glx-18522:49
MythbuntuGuest98can i remove the entire mythtv from command line and then reinstall from there?22:55
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest98: what iso issue?22:55
rhpot1991!iso22:55
ZinnStorage 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/722:55
rhpot1991that?22:55
henrik__I have a question to all mythbuntu releasers out there? Why do mythbuntu need to follow the relase cycle of ubuntu? I'm not intrested in the latest features on my htpc except what's relevant to mythtv. I would prefere lts releases only and then focus on mythtv parts. Some changes are inevereble like qt4 or vdpau support.22:57
henrik__mytbuntu developers*22:57
mrandhenrik__: you can always choose to not upgrade releases.22:58
rhpot1991henrik__: the work from mythbuntu goes into ubuntu, so we can only update those packages every 6 months with ubuntu releases23:00
rhpot1991the daily builds offer a way to deviate from the standard ubuntu packages23:00
Hilikusis there an official howTo to configure a remote control + ir blaster?23:08
MythbuntuGuest98so can i remove and reinstall from command line?23:16
MythbuntuGuest98i am away from my mythtv box and want to fix it remotely... so i can get it back up and running for the wife and kids... is there a way to remove and reinstall remotely?23:28
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest57: man apt-get23:34
