[00:00] How do u change your name in IRC? [00:00] I'm trying to /msg nickserv register ReiBuntu [00:00] and it's saying "Reid is already registered." [00:05] You're signed in as reid, and trying to set reid's password to Reibuntu [00:10] so sign in as who you want to be (/nick ReiBuntu) and then do the above where ReiBuntu = password [01:38] Is the site down? [02:49] Hi. [02:51] 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. [02:59] Hi all, I upgraded to 0.22 a few weeks ago, and mythmusic isn't reading id3 info from files with id3v1 tags. thoughts? [03:43] How do I stop mythbuntu from kicking over into s-video-out mode on bootup? [03:43] _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. [04:56] anyone use mythbrowser? [05:40] 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. [05:41] 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 :-). [06:08] New install Mythbuntu v9.10 64 bit [06:10] Ran 1 day without system crashing, then started again ---> had to reinstall a day ago as the crashes broke MYSQL. [06:10] Bythbackend.log has a lot of enteries: [mpeg2video @ 0x7ff14dac5820]Missing picture start code [06:11] Starting college soon and do not want to mess with it turing spring semester. Any help??? [06:13] Also, seeing : Error parsing: /home/mythbox/.mythtv/config.xml at line: 1 column: 1 [06:13] Configuration::Load - Error Msg: unexpected end of file [07:06] where cani download the free version of mythbuntu? [08:45] Hi, anybody home? I'm trying to get audio out on the headphone jack of my mythbuntu box. [08:45] 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. [09:02] 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. [09:04] Sigh... [09:13] com_h: Any suggestions as to what to try, to get sound working? [09:18] Have you tried my method of turn up all levels and then frantically plug into every hole? === _Mazga is now known as Mazga [12:50] !help [12:50] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [12:51] hi [12:52] Got a question regarding a mythtv backend hardware. [12:52] I plan on using a hauppauge hvr-4000 in an backend only system [12:53] 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 ... [12:55] The backend should be able to record HD material and stream it to one/multiple frontends [13:20] 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 [13:21] Scrooby: with VDPAU around now the HD playback issue isn't so much of an issue any longer either [13:21] hope that helps [13:24] thanx [17:14] !help [17:14] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [17:21] anyone here an expert on Dibcom 3000 m-b, I lost support for the device since upgrading to 9.10? [17:39] 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/) [17:40] also perhaps possible that the way the device is named/addressed is different. udev? [17:40] Best of luck! [19:12] 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 [19:13] is the most appropriate way to install them from apt-get install nvidia-glx-190 [19:13] simulating removes 185 [19:13] i am questioning this as when i previously did this from the nvidia-vdpau ppa, it still seemed to need 185 installed as well [19:25] nevermind, if i installe nvidia-190-modealiases it now registers in the hardware driver manager [20:11] dmfrey: didn't I tell you that already :) [20:13] rhpot1991: sorry, it was late and I have been sick :) [20:30] rhpot1991: i also upgraded the firmware on my hdpvr in my windows vm in virtualbox [20:30] rhpot1991: it worked good and seems to have a better picture now in live tv [20:30] nice [20:31] I need to check mine again, pretty sure there is a newer one out [20:31] rhpot1991: last one was dated in november 2009 [20:32] ya mine was done before that I think [20:33] rhpot1991: i still seem to have one outstanding issue with vdpau [20:33] dmfrey: whats that? [20:33] rhpot1991: on fast motion, it shows a single line tear horizontally through the middle-upper portion of the screen [20:34] dmfrey: try disabling composite [20:34] rhpot1991: seems to be a vdpau issue as the other profiles don't havve this [20:34] i think it is already off [20:34] fast motion as in regular playback speed and not something silly right? [20:34] dmfrey: well its on by default unless you disable it [20:34] let me pastebin [20:34] yes, fast motion from side-to-side in normal playback [20:35] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d56e913df [20:36] what's the TripleBuffer do? [20:38] dedicates more memory to 2d IIRC [20:38] supposed to help VDPAU [20:38] nice, i will add that as well [20:38] i thought i did previously, but it must have been before i wiped this frontend box [20:40] i wonder if the compositing could have also been affecting the live tv in general...choppiness, etc [20:41] i forget, are you running an 8400 card as well? [20:44] rhpot1991: that looks much better [20:45] I have an ion box and a 9600gt [20:45] rhpot1991: that's right [20:46] rhpot1991: i will have to play around with that triplebuffer on this 8400 card [20:47] rhpot1991: one of my girl's shows is in hd and seems to be a little choppy [20:49] rhpot1991: i will have to look at some of these other settings on the vdpau wiki page as well [20:49] dmfrey: my ion box was pretty clean, but I needed those tweaks for my other one to stop tearing [20:50] rhpot1991: i am hoping that intel wifi 5300 gets here todayd so i can finish setting up my ion box [20:53] hi, i'm wondering if someone can help me think through a hardware problem i'm experiencing [20:53] i build a myth box about 1 year ago. it just stopped working [20:53] symptoms: sometimes it will display a POST screen, and sometimes it won't [20:53] quinten: how's your powersupply? [20:54] it appears the power supply is working [20:54] but i'm not positive--it's a low wattage supply i guess [20:54] 270 watts [20:54] quinten: have you blown out any dust build up inside the case? [20:54] at least the cd-rom lights up sometimes even if i have no POST [20:55] i did blow out dust from the power supply [20:55] not much in there [20:55] 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] first thing i tried was taking out the pvr-150 card, which did not lead to it consistently booting [20:56] but worked the first time which made me suspect power supply could be an issue [20:56] i also tried taking out one of the paired ram modules [20:56] basically it seems like a lot of potential parts could be swapped out... [20:56] 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 [20:57] does this sound at all like it could be motherboard failure related? [20:57] 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] not consistently [20:57] well, i take that back--i've tried once with one ram module and it worked, i haent' tried again [20:58] quinten: are all your fans working? could it be heat related? [20:58] the other symptom is when i boot it says "no operating system found" [20:58] on the times it gets to POST [20:58] which could be a hard drive failure, but i've tried booting from the dvd drive with no success either [20:58] quinten: you said the mobo is only about a year old? [20:58] even though i've made sure its set to boot from CD in the bios [20:59] yep, just over a year [20:59] quinten: when that happens, does the post screen look ok? [20:59] yes, it looks normal--except the message about no OS found [20:59] i'm going to try booting from a USB stick tonight to see if that works [21:00] rhpot1991: btw...how loud is that 9600gt? [21:00] rhpot1991: been thinking about upgrading, but want a silent card (not too many options out there) [21:01] so, there are enough points of failure that appear possible it's hard for me to figure out what to replace [21:01] i can't think that the hard drive failure along would stop it from POSTing [21:01] quinten: true [21:01] *alone [21:02] 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] quinten: can you get into your bios and see what the temp is? [21:03] it's cool, 45 degrees [21:03] quinten: that is odd [21:03] quinten: ok [21:03] that was my very first guess [21:03] temp [21:04] 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] quinten: barring the powersupply is not sending enough juice out, i would first guess ram then mobo [21:05] here's what happens: i get it to POST once or twice, then it stops [21:05] dmfrey: I got a silent version, it takes up 2 slots though [21:05] then it may start working an hour or two later [21:05] rhpot1991: do you recall make/model? [21:05] it worked for a year with that power supply with no problem. still a possibility? [21:06] rhpot1991: i did see an zotac zone 220 that is silent, however it is only abailable in UK right now [21:06] gt 220 that is righ? [21:07] right now there is a msi 220 on newegg [21:07] lets see [21:07] 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] Shadow__X: do you have screen or byobu installed? [21:08] 6i have screen installed [21:09] Shadow__X: launch screen see if it shows up there [21:09] dmfrey: http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16814125273&cm_re=silent_9600-_-14-125-273-_-Product [21:09] i am using screen now [21:09] thats what I have [21:09] asus also makes a model thats similar, but it has a weird heat pipe that didn't fit into my fusion case [21:10] 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] VDPAU page says it will be similar to a 9500 [21:10] isnt 120 alittle high for a 9600 [21:11] rhpot1991: nice looking card [21:11] dmfrey: http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16814500072&cm_re=zotac_9500-_-14-500-072-_-Product [21:11] you have a few choices now [21:11] I'm waiting for a silent gt 2xx for my next one [21:12] Shadow__X: 1gb of ram and silent, but ya its pricey [21:12] yeah but 1gb ram isnt really helping you as much as it would if it was a better card [21:12] rhpot1991: i would like to wait for that zotac silent 220 [21:13] rhpot1991: it doesnt show up in screen why did you ask [21:13] dmfrey: I think they have a 220 and gt 220 coming out [21:13] Shadow__X: it does for me when I launch byobu [21:13] figured it might be similar [21:13] rhpot1991: looks like newegg just changed their site around a bit [21:15] rhpot1991: nope [21:16] rhpot1991: even did dkpg reconfigure [21:16] rhpot1991: http://zotac.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=100025&lang=un [21:18] rhpot1991: i kinda wish that one had ddr3 memory on it, however [21:18] if i upgrade the motherboard, is there a good choice w/ onboard support for vdpau and hdmi audio? [21:19] i bought this one because it has an 8200 chip, but i've never been able to get vdpau working with it [21:19] quinten: i would use a card with dedicated memory on the card [21:21] quinten: according to wiki for vdpau it should work [21:21] just install the correct drivers [21:26] dmfrey: link doesn't work [21:26] dmfrey: http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=55&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 [21:29] rhpot1991: first one in the list on the link you just posted [21:29] dmfrey: ya either of those top 2 should be good [21:30] just need to wait for them to sell the stupid things here [21:31] rhpot1991: i hear ya [21:32] rhpot1991: the same model with a fan/heatsink was only about $60-70 or so on newegg a few weeks ago [21:53] 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] i also read after the fact that the 8200 has limited vdpau capabilities, and i was trying to throw 1080i at it [22:22] What should I check if my recordings are not showing up on my xbmc [22:23] wouldn't that be the upnp server of mythtv? [22:39] I don't have my "permanent" mythbox hardware yet. [22:40] 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] crazy, right? [22:43] hackman: not really, I do similar with a frontend, usb stick and then nfs share for some videos [22:57] <]Oscar> I'm having very often segfault with frontend. last line in log are about failed bobdeint. It's "normal"?? [22:59] <]Oscar> I have just updated to last nigthly build of mythbuntu 9.10 [23:14] ]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 [23:18] <]Oscar> Changed theme, it's the same... I'm going to debug... :( [23:34] <]Oscar> uhm,.. changing again theme solved,... [23:35] join #xbmc [23:36] sorry
