| tux_ | I just setup mythbuntu 9.10 with a pinnacle pctv card that I have set up as an analog capture card. The picture on a monitor is ok but I have no sound when I watch TV. My sound card is a SB Audigy and sounds fine when I stream radio. Any ideas how I can get sound on my TV? | 02:38 |
|---|---|---|
| tux_ | I have it wired with a Y cable/RCA cable to my amplifier/speakers. | 02:41 |
| neoteny | my graphics card blew it's caps and locked up my machine. i replaced the card and now it says there are no recordings. the files are there though. is there a way to get them to show up in the watch recordings mene? | 02:56 |
| mrand | neoteny: try out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.find_orphans.pl Seem like there was another one too, but I can't remember/find it. | 02:58 |

| foxbuntu | mrand, generally when that happens (and based on that description) the DB needs the tables repaired | 03:21 |
| foxbuntu | neoteny, install phpmyadmin, login as root, click on mythconverg, select all tables, and click the "Repair" option (near the bottom of the page) | 03:22 |
| neoteny | something tells me i tried some of those last time my database got wiped and there was some issue because i have two tuners. | 03:51 |

| Tanthrix | Anyone know how I setup the auto builds repository on Ubuntu 9.10? | 10:56 |
| Tanthrix | Not sure what to do with this .deb file from the site. | 10:56 |
| Tanthrix | Or is it some sort of Mythbuntu only thing? | 11:01 |
| styelz | Tanthrix: sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 11:34 |
| Tanthrix | styelz: Nifty, thanks. | 11:35 |
| LonEagle | anyone know much about XFS? I copied an 853GiB xfs partition from one drive to another using ddrescue. it is showing up as a 1.33TiB partition on the other drive. | 12:20 |
| LonEagle | eh i guess i'll just re-copy it for now, i needed to make a change to the size of a partition that was inside of that one. | 12:35 |
| ripperda | is there a good place to learn more about video formats and transcoding? I've ripped a number of dvds to .iso format, but am looking to transcode to mpeg-4 to save space/bandwidth | 18:10 |
| luckyone | hello all | 19:33 |
| luckyone | is there any good documentation on getting the MCE remote to suspend/resume the pc or to bind key presses to start applications? | 19:35 |
| luckyone | I would like the power button to suspend/resume my pc | 19:35 |
| luckyone | then I would like to bind the green button to xbmc and the live tv button to myth | 19:36 |
| superm1 | luckyone, start out by making sure that your system suspends properly from command line and the remote still works after | 19:38 |
| superm1 | if that works, then you'll have to look into whether you can use usb devices to wake it from suspend (some machines dont allow this) | 19:38 |
| superm1 | if you've got both of those set, then you'll want to look into using irexec to bind the keys | 19:39 |
| superm1 | irexec will start automatically on a mythbuntu session if you use ~/.lirc/irexec if i recall correctly | 19:39 |
| superm1 | ripperda, if they're in iso format, you'll probably want to be looking for some other third party tools to handle that | 19:40 |
| luckyone | superm1: do I just need to make irexec start up in the background? | 19:53 |
| superm1 | luckyone, it starts up when you log into a mythbuntu session | 19:53 |
| superm1 | see /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh for how it starts | 19:53 |
| luckyone | hmmm, I had to start mine from the cli | 19:56 |
| superm1 | you have to have a ~/.lirc/irexec file for it to start on login | 19:57 |
| ripperda | superm1, thanks. I've read through some of the transcode documentation and reading through the dvd demystification faq. trying to better understand all the formats and info | 20:42 |
| superm1 | ripperda, to be honest, the easiest solution is to rip them directly into the format you want from mythvideo I think (unless you already have tons ripped to ISOs, then you probably want a shell script that will batch process them using third party tools) | 20:43 |
| ripperda | superm1, understood. that's what I'll do in the future, but I also wanted to learn about space/quality trade-offs. I have a large projection screen, so want high quality | 20:51 |
| ripperda | I also have a lot of criterion movies that I'd like to save off the extras for, so enjoying learning more of the technical details | 20:52 |
| superm1 | ripperda, you can achieve perfect (near) quality out of of mpeg4 at the sacrifice of space, but as you point out - there is no way to keep the extras unless you are in iso format | 20:52 |
| superm1 | or rip them individually | 20:52 |
| ripperda | superm1, if I've ripped some disks to .iso format, does that mean they have everything that's on the original disk? (all of the VOBs) | 20:54 |
| ripperda | I guess I could mount the iso and verify | 20:55 |
| superm1 | ripperda, yeah they should all be there still | 20:56 |
| ripperda | superm1, is there any way to find the command line that mtd uses to transcode for each of the encoding options in the mythvideo gui? | 22:19 |
