[02:38] <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?
[02:41] <tux_> I have it wired with a Y cable/RCA cable to my amplifier/speakers.
[02:56] <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?
[02:58] <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.

[03:21] <foxbuntu> mrand, generally when that happens (and based on that description) the DB needs the tables repaired
[03:22] <foxbuntu> neoteny, install phpmyadmin, login as root, click on mythconverg, select all tables, and click the "Repair" option (near the bottom of the page)
[03:51] <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.
[07:36] <Abo1> Hi All, I get this error in backend logs: MythSocket(1696d30:28): readStringList: Error, timed out after 30000 ms.
[07:36] <Abo1> QMutex::unlock: mutex lock failure: I think this may related to my UPnP problems, please help.
[10:56] <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.
[11:01] <Tanthrix> Or is it some sort of Mythbuntu only thing?
[11:34] <styelz> Tanthrix: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[11:35] <Tanthrix> styelz: Nifty, thanks.
[12:20] <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.
[12:35] <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.
[18:10] <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
[19:33] <luckyone> hello all
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <luckyone> then I would like to bind the green button to xbmc and the live tv button to myth
[19:38] <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)
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <superm1> ripperda, if they're in iso format, you'll probably want to be looking for some other third party tools to handle that
[19:53] <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
[19:56] <luckyone> hmmm, I had to start mine from the cli
[19:57] <superm1> you have to have a ~/.lirc/irexec file for it to start on login
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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)
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:54] <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)
[20:55] <ripperda> I guess I could mount the iso and verify
[20:56] <superm1> ripperda, yeah they should all be there still
[22:19] <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?
