[01:01] <tmkt> anyone have at hand a link to the solution to then 2-3 minute delay for my remote to start working when i start up mythfrontend? remember seeing an article about it, but can't seem to find it anymore
[01:01] <tmkt> never happened with v0.21
[02:03] <Nighthawk82> hey guys how can i make the tv channels on mythTV run better and not blotchy on a notebook?
[02:08] <rhpot1991> Nighthawk82: don't use wifi?
[02:08] <rhpot1991> get a notebook thats more powerful?
[02:08] <rhpot1991> its kinda a loaded question
[02:08] <rhpot1991> Nighthawk82: what kind of recordings, what are the specs on the notebook?
[02:11] <Nighthawk82> ok wasn't sure if there was some software that might have helped as also not sure if it's goes on settings when setting it up as i'm all new to linux thats all
[02:11] <Nighthawk82> ok won't use wifi then cool thanks
[02:11] <Nighthawk82> :)
[02:22] <jakent> hrm... wondering if I can run mythtv in a vm and expect to see the tuner cards correctly
[02:46] <tgm4883> jakent, no
[02:46] <jakent> yeah, what I figured
[02:46] <jakent> guess I should buy a ow end machine for the tuner card, and leave my main machine on freebsd
[02:46] <tgm4883> yea that would work
[02:47] <jakent> does the tuner card go in the front end or the back end
[02:48] <tgm4883> jakent, backend
[02:49] <jakent> lol.. sucks... cause thats the one I wanted to stay freebsd... very few tuner card drivers on freebsd
[02:50] <jakent> I have a Hauppage 2250
[02:52] <jakent> maybe run the ubuntu-mythtv with the tuner cards front and back ends on the small machine, then run a masterback end on the freebsd ... not sure if that really makes a large difference... the freebsd machine is web server and NAS primarily

[17:53] <lime4x4> anyone else have a problem getting a windows media center remote working with 9.10?
[18:49] <lime4x4> irw reports nothing when pressing buttons even thou the red led lights up on the receiver when pushing buttons
[18:56] <Rob_Z> there is a known issue with 9.10
[18:56] <Rob_Z> they yanked a bunch of things out from the kernel.
[19:00] <rhpot1991> lime4x4: nope both of mine work fine
[19:01] <lime4x4> if i run sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 i get responces from the remote
[19:03] <rhpot1991> lime4x4: is your remote here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote
[19:03] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] MCE Remote - MythTV
[19:04] <lime4x4> yes version 2 model 1039
[19:04] <lime4x4> the remote worked fine in 8.10
[19:11] <rhpot1991> lime4x4: pastebin your configs in /etc/lirc
[19:11] <rhpot1991> I'll compare them with mine when I get a chance, eating in a few so you'll have to be patient
[19:12] <lime4x4> ok i'll let u know when there up there
[19:15] <lime4x4> here they are  http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m41b47a61
[19:19] <lime4x4> and thanks
[19:28] <gbutters> lime4x4: change remote device to REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" and sudo service lirc restart and you should be ready to go
[19:29] <lime4x4> ok i'll give it a try
[19:31] <lime4x4> nope still no joy
[19:37] <gbutters> lime4x4: remove everything after START_LIRCMD="" and try again
[19:39] <gbutters> lime4x4: nevermind I see that is the lircd.conf file not hardware.conf as i first thought
[19:41] <gbutters> lime4x4: what is the output of           ls /dev/lir*
[19:45] <lime4x4> /dev/lirc0  /dev/lircd  /dev/lircd1
[19:46] <gbutters> lime4x4: pastebin /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb

[19:54] <zephead> Has anybody had success with the comcast Pace DC50X DTA boxes?  I recently got a USB-UIRT and cannot get it to transmit anything to the DTA...  It works (albeit marginally) with my motorola DCT2224
[19:55] <gbutters> lime4x4: pastebin ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[19:59] <lime4x4> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m3444c5e7
[20:00] <gbutters> lime4x4: 19 lines is all you have?
[20:01] <lime4x4> i think so let be double check
[20:02] <lime4x4> i'll have to find another way to view that file. I'm ssh into that box. give me a sec
[20:03] <agoodm> hi
[20:06] <agoodm> im having a strange issue with mythburn.py. if i use the gui to set my settings it dies straight away after going into the log viewer to watch the progress, however if i run it manually ie python /path/to/mythburn.py -j /path/to/mydata.xml -l /path/to/mythburn.log it works without issue or error, dvd plays fine etc

[20:16] <gbutters> lime4x4: if the file is approx 12000 bytes it should be OK. Looks like everything is setup correctly now if it is. One last thing you can try is rebooting. I got to run will be back later
[20:17] <lime4x4> yes it around that size
[20:19] <agoodm> argh havnt used ircii in so long
[20:21] <scott__> this is my first time setting up a a tv capture card i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for corectly identifying my video device and default input options. I think the os picked up the card type as its showing the correct info under the probed info.
[20:21] <agoodm> run lspci ensure the card is listed
[20:22] <agoodm> look in /var/log/messages and try and see any messages related to the card, perhaps /dev/video* or /dev/dvb/something ivtv or v4l
[20:23] <agoodm> that any help?
[20:24] <scott__> yes i found the card listed
[20:26] <scott__> sorry im kinda basic on this at this point, the trouble im having is that im not sure what the correct type for the input would be or which video device because it gives me two options /dev/video0 and /dev/video1
[20:26] <scott__> and im not sure what i should be selecting for card type
[20:27] <agoodm> scott did you see the messages i typed before i lost connection?
[20:27] <scott__> yes
[20:27] <agoodm> good good
[20:27] <scott__> i believe so
[20:27] <agoodm> ended with a long one basically saying look in messages log
[20:27] <scott__> look in /var/log/messages and try and see any messages related to the card, perhaps /dev/video* or /dev/dvb/something ivtv or v4l
[20:27] <scott__> <agoodm> that any help?
[20:27] <agoodm> good
[20:30] <scott__> i found it both in /messages and lspci as hauppage HDPVR-1250 model 1196 and it shows up in messages as /dev/video1 and /dev/video0
[20:31] <agoodm> ah hdpvr, not something i know much about, but looks aok to me
[20:31] <agoodm> mplayer /dev/video0 then see if it plays, if not try video1
[20:31] <scott__> alright ill get it a shot
[20:32] <agoodm> (run on a terminal in X
[20:32] <agoodm> )
[20:32] <scott__> yep
[20:32] <agoodm> it plays?
[20:33] <zephead> has anybody had success with the free comcast DTA boxes? (Pace DC50X)
[20:33] <scott__> oh no didnt get a chance to do it yet
[20:33] <agoodm> ok
[20:33] <scott__> brand new install
[20:33] <scott__> didnt have mplayer yet getting it now
[20:33] <agoodm> cool
[20:36] <bcgrown> i'm on mythbuntu 9.10...   when I open mythbrowser, any text boxes on web sites have black backgrounds.  how do I make them white so I can actually read what I type in?
[20:37] <scott__> mplayer comes up as a white box
[20:37] <agoodm> does the hdpvr have a source connected?
[20:37] <scott__> yes
[20:37] <mrand> zephead: googling for dc50x turns up quite a few hits regarding lirc, mythtv, etc.  Might read over this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?list=mythtv;do=search_results;search_forum=all;search_string=dc50x;search_type=AND&sb=post_time
[20:37] <Zinn> [www.gossamer-threads.com] dc50x
[20:37] <scott__> maybe i have it plugged into wrong source

[20:39] <agoodm> might need to experiment with the settings
[20:39] <scott__> wow lol ok now i get static
[20:39] <agoodm> hmm lol
[20:39] <scott__> ohh i didnt see the link sorry
[20:40] <agoodm> do you need it again?
[20:40] <scott__> no
[20:40] <agoodm> ok
[20:40] <scott__> i didnt see it before i posted i mean
[20:40] <agoodm> ooh right :)
[20:43] <zephead> mrand: I've tried the .conf's from http://regx.dgswa.com/html/node/134, http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/418412?search_string=dc50x;#418412, http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-remote/thread.cgi?9104,http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-January/278281.html, http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-January/278281.html among others.... none work - they either don't respond (my USB-UIRT
[20:43] <Zinn> [regx.dgswa.com] How to get Comcast PACE DTA working in Myth in Ubuntu Hardy | regx.dgswa.com
[20:43] <zephead> doesn't do anything) or result in a lircd[9068]: segfault at 8 ip 0000000000420aab sp 00007fff7ee94830 error 4 in lircd[400000+2b000]
[20:45] <agoodm> if anyone has any input regarding my earlier mythburn issue thatd be appreciated
[20:45] <zephead> mrand: it works great in winblows using irnhelper
[20:45] <mrand> zephead: I think I remember reading that some USB-UART's are problematic, but I couldn't point you to anything in particular.  Best I could suggest would be to loop back the serial port side and see if ubuntu at least handles that.
[20:46] <mrand> agoodm: nothing in the frontend logs?  If not, I wonder if there is a verbose level that could be turned up
[20:48] <agoodm> there is stuff in the mythburn.log when run it from mythtv
[20:50] <agoodm> just grabbing it now
[20:51] <agoodm> mythburn.py (0.1.20090139-1) starting up...
[20:51] <agoodm> QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'DBManager0' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
[20:51] <agoodm> Found 2 CPUs
[20:51] <agoodm> then after that it starts a traceback....
[20:53] <mrand> traceback would imply crash.... might be worth opening a ticket with that, assuming youre running up-to-date stuff (recently updated 0.22 autobuilds)
[20:53] <agoodm> http://pastebin.com/m3dc3884a
[20:54] <agoodm> right, but if i run mythburn.py from the console it works absolutly fine, dvd turns out without an issue
[20:54] <mrand> Can you tell if you're running with the same or diff arguments than the frontend launches with?
[20:55] <agoodm> unfortunately i cant see what command it runs, any idea how to see what options it uses?
[20:55] <agoodm> running python /path/to/mythburn.py --help tells me thers only like 2 options you can choose from...
[21:00] <mrand> That is a strange place to bomb out, especially if it works when you call it directly.
[21:01] <agoodm> indeed :s
[21:03] <agoodm> is that mysql message related perhaps? ive seen loads of log things on the internet where they have that message but it bombs out later
[21:07] <agoodm> random unrelated question, how do i set what startup services ubuntu runs? equivalent of 'setup' command on centos
[21:07] <mrand> https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/486233 doesn't seem to be related.  It's almost as if  PATH isn't defined when myth launches it.  I can't test it out on my systems at the moment.  Can you open a launchpad ticket with that log as the description?  Preferred way would be to do "ubuntu-bug mytharchive" and if it doesn't attach that crash message, add it yourself.
[21:08] <Zinn> [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #486233 in Mythbuntu: “Mytharchive (myth 0.22 karmic) fails to import/export recordedmarkup”
[21:09] <agoodm> you want me to set the pastebin url as the name of the ticket?
[21:10] <mrand> nope.  Please don't point to pastebin for any bug tracker... pastebin stuff expires eventually.  I'd say title of the ticket would be something like "mythburn crashes only when called from within myth"
[21:11] <mrand> don't know about setup on centos.  I typically edit stuff in rc.d, which can order stuff at startup
[21:12] <agoodm> re the $path thing, i thought this but looking at the python script there is a fail safe that puts some usual locations into the relevant variables in case PATH is blank... and my path prefix for relevant binaries is in that failsafe list
[21:17] <scott__> lol
[21:25] <agoodm> right thanks for the help, im gonna /part now but iv created a bug report so we will see how far we get now :) enjoy your evening
