| puff | Hi. | 02:49 |
| puff | I have a mythbuntu box that _was_ connected to a TV via s-video. However, we replaced that TV with an HD and I need to order new hardware for HD-out... meanwhile, I'd like to just watch shows on this LCD monitor. H owever, after mythtv startup, the LCD goes blank, presumbly because it's switching to s-video-out. | 02:51 |
| mattjackets | Hi all, I upgraded to 0.22 a few weeks ago, and mythmusic isn't reading id3 info from files with id3v1 tags. thoughts? | 02:59 |
| puff | How do I stop mythbuntu from kicking over into s-video-out mode on bootup? | 03:43 |
| puff | _Bearing in mind that, sinc eit's in s-video out and I don't have an s-video device, I can't just use the GUI contorl to change it. | 03:43 |
| cal_ | anyone use mythbrowser? | 04:56 |
| puff | Hm, okay, so I have the video just going to an LCD monitor, but I'm not getting any audio out of the headphone jacks. | 05:40 |
| puff | Now admittedly, some films I know so well I can hear the soundtrack in my head, but for most of them, I'd like audio :-). | 05:41 |
| cjtinant | New install Mythbuntu v9.10 64 bit | 06:08 |

| Balsaq | where cani download the free version of mythbuntu? | 07:06 |
| puff | Hi, anybody home? I'm trying to get audio out on the headphone jack of my mythbuntu box. | 08:45 |
| puff | Actually there are three headphone jacks; one on the front panel, one on the motherboard on the back, and one on a separate sound card on the back. | 08:45 |
| com_h | I always have trouble working out audio from ubuntu, I just play something turn up software volumes then try all holes until I find one with something coming out. | 09:02 |
| puff | Sigh... | 09:04 |
| puff | com_h: Any suggestions as to what to try, to get sound working? | 09:13 |
| com_h | Have you tried my method of turn up all levels and then frantically plug into every hole? | 09:18 |

| Scrooby | hi | 12:51 |
| Scrooby | Got a question regarding a mythtv backend hardware. | 12:52 |
| Scrooby | I plan on using a hauppauge hvr-4000 in an backend only system | 12:52 |
| Scrooby | Now i am still unsure about what processor speed to get. Some sources mention the processor speed to be rather irrelevant for the backend, others advice to use at least 2.4 Ghz ... | 12:53 |
| Scrooby | The backend should be able to record HD material and stream it to one/multiple frontends | 12:55 |
| rhpot1991 | Scrooby: well the backend will do your commflagging and such, so that will go quicker with a better CPU, but if you aren't using it for HD playback then you don't really need top of the line | 13:20 |
| rhpot1991 | Scrooby: with VDPAU around now the HD playback issue isn't so much of an issue any longer either | 13:21 |
| rhpot1991 | hope that helps | 13:21 |
| Scrooby | thanx | 13:24 |

| alecj | anyone here an expert on Dibcom 3000 m-b, I lost support for the device since upgrading to 9.10? | 17:21 |
| mrand | alecj: if no-one responds, other places to check out: #mythtv-users , or search on the mythbuntu forums or mythtv mailing list archive (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/) | 17:39 |
| mrand | also perhaps possible that the way the device is named/addressed is different. udev? | 17:40 |
| mrand | Best of luck! | 17:40 |
| dmfrey | hi all. I enabled the weekly auto builds and wanted to install nvidia 190, i see it in the repos, but it doesn't appear in the hardware driver manager | 19:12 |
| dmfrey | is the most appropriate way to install them from apt-get install nvidia-glx-190 | 19:13 |
| dmfrey | simulating removes 185 | 19:13 |
| dmfrey | i am questioning this as when i previously did this from the nvidia-vdpau ppa, it still seemed to need 185 installed as well | 19:13 |
| dmfrey | nevermind, if i installe nvidia-190-modealiases it now registers in the hardware driver manager | 19:25 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: didn't I tell you that already :) | 20:11 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: sorry, it was late and I have been sick :) | 20:13 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i also upgraded the firmware on my hdpvr in my windows vm in virtualbox | 20:30 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: it worked good and seems to have a better picture now in live tv | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | nice | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | I need to check mine again, pretty sure there is a newer one out | 20:31 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: last one was dated in november 2009 | 20:31 |
| rhpot1991 | ya mine was done before that I think | 20:32 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i still seem to have one outstanding issue with vdpau | 20:33 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: whats that? | 20:33 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: on fast motion, it shows a single line tear horizontally through the middle-upper portion of the screen | 20:33 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: try disabling composite | 20:34 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: seems to be a vdpau issue as the other profiles don't havve this | 20:34 |
| dmfrey | i think it is already off | 20:34 |
| rhpot1991 | fast motion as in regular playback speed and not something silly right? | 20:34 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: well its on by default unless you disable it | 20:34 |
| rhpot1991 | let me pastebin | 20:34 |
| dmfrey | yes, fast motion from side-to-side in normal playback | 20:34 |
| rhpot1991 | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d56e913df | 20:35 |
| dmfrey | what's the TripleBuffer do? | 20:36 |
| rhpot1991 | dedicates more memory to 2d IIRC | 20:38 |
| rhpot1991 | supposed to help VDPAU | 20:38 |
| dmfrey | nice, i will add that as well | 20:38 |
| dmfrey | i thought i did previously, but it must have been before i wiped this frontend box | 20:38 |
| dmfrey | i wonder if the compositing could have also been affecting the live tv in general...choppiness, etc | 20:40 |
| dmfrey | i forget, are you running an 8400 card as well? | 20:41 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: that looks much better | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991 | I have an ion box and a 9600gt | 20:45 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: that's right | 20:45 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i will have to play around with that triplebuffer on this 8400 card | 20:46 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: one of my girl's shows is in hd and seems to be a little choppy | 20:47 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i will have to look at some of these other settings on the vdpau wiki page as well | 20:49 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: my ion box was pretty clean, but I needed those tweaks for my other one to stop tearing | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i am hoping that intel wifi 5300 gets here todayd so i can finish setting up my ion box | 20:50 |
| quinten | hi, i'm wondering if someone can help me think through a hardware problem i'm experiencing | 20:53 |
| quinten | i build a myth box about 1 year ago. it just stopped working | 20:53 |
| quinten | symptoms: sometimes it will display a POST screen, and sometimes it won't | 20:53 |
| dmfrey | quinten: how's your powersupply? | 20:53 |
| quinten | it appears the power supply is working | 20:54 |
| quinten | but i'm not positive--it's a low wattage supply i guess | 20:54 |
| quinten | 270 watts | 20:54 |
| dmfrey | quinten: have you blown out any dust build up inside the case? | 20:54 |
| quinten | at least the cd-rom lights up sometimes even if i have no POST | 20:54 |
| quinten | i did blow out dust from the power supply | 20:55 |
| quinten | not much in there | 20:55 |
| dmfrey | quinten: was working on a server recently and it ended up blowing out the dust out of the heatsink/fan on the processord helped a lot | 20:55 |
| quinten | first thing i tried was taking out the pvr-150 card, which did not lead to it consistently booting | 20:55 |
| quinten | but worked the first time which made me suspect power supply could be an issue | 20:56 |
| quinten | i also tried taking out one of the paired ram modules | 20:56 |
| quinten | basically it seems like a lot of potential parts could be swapped out... | 20:56 |
| quinten | new power supply will be a pain as it's custom and i'll have to pay almost the price of a new case to replace it | 20:56 |
| quinten | does this sound at all like it could be motherboard failure related? | 20:57 |
| dmfrey | quinten: can you get it to boot with just a bare minimum of hardware in it (i.e. no capture cards, minimum ram, etc) | 20:57 |
| quinten | not consistently | 20:57 |
| quinten | well, i take that back--i've tried once with one ram module and it worked, i haent' tried again | 20:57 |
| dmfrey | quinten: are all your fans working? could it be heat related? | 20:58 |
| quinten | the other symptom is when i boot it says "no operating system found" | 20:58 |
| quinten | on the times it gets to POST | 20:58 |
| quinten | which could be a hard drive failure, but i've tried booting from the dvd drive with no success either | 20:58 |
| dmfrey | quinten: you said the mobo is only about a year old? | 20:58 |
| quinten | even though i've made sure its set to boot from CD in the bios | 20:58 |
| quinten | yep, just over a year | 20:59 |
| dmfrey | quinten: when that happens, does the post screen look ok? | 20:59 |
| quinten | yes, it looks normal--except the message about no OS found | 20:59 |
| quinten | i'm going to try booting from a USB stick tonight to see if that works | 20:59 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: btw...how loud is that 9600gt? | 21:00 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: been thinking about upgrading, but want a silent card (not too many options out there) | 21:00 |
| quinten | so, there are enough points of failure that appear possible it's hard for me to figure out what to replace | 21:01 |
| quinten | i can't think that the hard drive failure along would stop it from POSTing | 21:01 |
| dmfrey | quinten: true | 21:01 |
| quinten | *alone | 21:01 |
| quinten | i kind of remember that i couldn't install the OS from CD the firs time i set it up, i think i needed to use USB | 21:02 |
| dmfrey | quinten: can you get into your bios and see what the temp is? | 21:02 |
| quinten | it's cool, 45 degrees | 21:03 |
| dmfrey | quinten: that is odd | 21:03 |
| dmfrey | quinten: ok | 21:03 |
| quinten | that was my very first guess | 21:03 |
| quinten | temp | 21:03 |
| quinten | i guess if i get it to boot from USB and find out hte hard drive is actually dead, that's one thing that will help | 21:04 |
| dmfrey | quinten: barring the powersupply is not sending enough juice out, i would first guess ram then mobo | 21:04 |
| quinten | here's what happens: i get it to POST once or twice, then it stops | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: I got a silent version, it takes up 2 slots though | 21:05 |
| quinten | then it may start working an hour or two later | 21:05 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: do you recall make/model? | 21:05 |
| quinten | it worked for a year with that power supply with no problem. still a possibility? | 21:05 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i did see an zotac zone 220 that is silent, however it is only abailable in UK right now | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | gt 220 that is righ? | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | right now there is a msi 220 on newegg | 21:07 |
| rhpot1991 | lets see | 21:07 |
| Shadow__X | superm1: so i enabled the testing ppa and installed mythtv-status and i can run it but it still doesnt show up in my motd what else do i need ot do | 21:07 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: do you have screen or byobu installed? | 21:07 |
| Shadow__X | 6i have screen installed | 21:08 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: launch screen see if it shows up there | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16814125273&cm_re=silent_9600-_-14-125-273-_-Product | 21:09 |
| Shadow__X | i am using screen now | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | thats what I have | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | asus also makes a model thats similar, but it has a weird heat pipe that didn't fit into my fusion case | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: this may or may not work as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16814127454&cm_re=msi_210-_-14-127-454-_-Product | 21:10 |
| rhpot1991 | VDPAU page says it will be similar to a 9500 | 21:10 |
| Shadow__X | isnt 120 alittle high for a 9600 | 21:10 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: nice looking card | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16814500072&cm_re=zotac_9500-_-14-500-072-_-Product | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | you have a few choices now | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm waiting for a silent gt 2xx for my next one | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: 1gb of ram and silent, but ya its pricey | 21:12 |
| Shadow__X | yeah but 1gb ram isnt really helping you as much as it would if it was a better card | 21:12 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i would like to wait for that zotac silent 220 | 21:12 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: it doesnt show up in screen why did you ask | 21:13 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: I think they have a 220 and gt 220 coming out | 21:13 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: it does for me when I launch byobu | 21:13 |
| rhpot1991 | figured it might be similar | 21:13 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: looks like newegg just changed their site around a bit | 21:13 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: nope | 21:15 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: even did dkpg reconfigure | 21:16 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: http://zotac.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=100025&lang=un | 21:16 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i kinda wish that one had ddr3 memory on it, however | 21:18 |
| quinten | if i upgrade the motherboard, is there a good choice w/ onboard support for vdpau and hdmi audio? | 21:18 |
| quinten | i bought this one because it has an 8200 chip, but i've never been able to get vdpau working with it | 21:19 |
| dmfrey | quinten: i would use a card with dedicated memory on the card | 21:19 |
| Shadow__X | quinten: according to wiki for vdpau it should work | 21:21 |
| Shadow__X | just install the correct drivers | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: link doesn't work | 21:26 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=55&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 | 21:26 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: first one in the list on the link you just posted | 21:29 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: ya either of those top 2 should be good | 21:29 |
| rhpot1991 | just need to wait for them to sell the stupid things here | 21:30 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i hear ya | 21:31 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: the same model with a fan/heatsink was only about $60-70 or so on newegg a few weeks ago | 21:32 |
| quinten | Shadow__X: i did install the drivers. i think it may not have enough dedicated memory, but ther'es no place to change allocation of video memory in the bios | 21:53 |
| quinten | i also read after the fact that the 8200 has limited vdpau capabilities, and i was trying to throw 1080i at it | 21:53 |
| tuv0k | What should I check if my recordings are not showing up on my xbmc | 22:22 |
| tuv0k | wouldn't that be the upnp server of mythtv? | 22:23 |
| hackman | I don't have my "permanent" mythbox hardware yet. | 22:39 |
| hackman | and I had this crazy idea to run mythbuntu from a USB stick, with /var/lib/mythtv mounted on (or symlinked to) an external eSATA drive, for example. | 22:40 |
| hackman | crazy, right? | 22:40 |
| rhpot1991 | hackman: not really, I do similar with a frontend, usb stick and then nfs share for some videos | 22:43 |
| ]Oscar | I'm having very often segfault with frontend. last line in log are about failed bobdeint. It's "normal"?? | 22:57 |
| ]Oscar | I have just updated to last nigthly build of mythbuntu 9.10 | 22:59 |
| mrand | ]Oscar: maybe try a different theme, then switch back to the one you are trying to use right now? If you can reproduce it after that, please follow the directions here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging#Debugging_with_Ubuntu_packages | 23:14 |
| ]Oscar | Changed theme, it's the same... I'm going to debug... :( | 23:18 |
| ]Oscar | uhm,.. changing again theme solved,... | 23:34 |
| yfwork | join #xbmc | 23:35 |
