| rhpot1991 | zuixro_: you could make a custom job which does all 3 as well, and not have the default transcode or commflag run | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| zuixro_ | The script I have does commflagging (if it's not done already), I'm about to see if it transcodes with the right profile. It's recording something right now, so we'll see... | 00:37 |
| dwmcqueen | Hello - is there an easy fix for a "2010-03-21 16:05:27.647 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Error: SetChannelByString(48): Failed to initialize multiplex options" error? | 00:58 |
| dwmcqueen | I am using ATI TV Wonder 600 USB... | 00:58 |
| dwmcqueen | I can watch channels on it after doing a scan and using vlc channels.conf | 00:58 |
| dwmcqueen | But Myth just won't turn thrchannels | 00:59 |
| dwmcqueen | Any thoughts? | 00:59 |
| jsec | Anybody home? | 14:50 |

| jsec | I'm looking for a cheap capture card that works well with mythtv. Anybody have any suggestions? | 14:55 |
| tgm4883 | HDHomerun | 14:55 |
| directhex | depends on whether you want analog or digital, and where in the world you are | 14:58 |
| jsec | directhex, USA. Preferably digital, and preferably spending less than $200 | 14:59 |
| tgm4883 | HDHomerun | 14:59 |
| tgm4883 | I think thats less than 200 | 14:59 |
| jsec | tgm4883, I took a look at it, but I'm really only looking for a tuner/capture card for 1 PC, instead of looking to network all of them. | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | Well that does work for one PC, it just connects via ethernet | 15:01 |
| tgm4883 | but fine | 15:01 |
| tgm4883 | pcHDTV 5500 | 15:01 |
| rhpot1991 | HDHR | 15:02 |
| jsec | tgm4883, that seems to be what i'm looking for, in my price range too. thanks for the help. | 15:04 |
| rhpot1991 | you can hook a HDHR directly into ethernet on a pc | 15:05 |
| jsec | rhpot1991, i just read something about the hdhr not being able to handle encrypted signals without additional cards? | 15:06 |
| rhpot1991 | that is true for any card | 15:06 |
| rhpot1991 | if you want encrypted you are gonna need a box from your cable company and something like the Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 | 15:07 |
| jsec | ok | 15:08 |
| jsec | thanks for the help e1 | 15:14 |
| PipeManMusic | What are the chances of getting mythbuntu up and running on a celeron 666 with 256 meg of ram and a pvr-250? | 16:29 |
| PipeManMusic | It had an old version of knopmyth on it that seemed to run acceptable. | 16:29 |
| mrand | celeron 666? Is that real? | 16:30 |
| PipeManMusic | mrand: What do mean? | 16:32 |
| mrand | I'd never heard of that processor. But I see that it is indeed real. | 16:33 |
| PipeManMusic | I guess it's probably sold as a 667 | 16:33 |
| PipeManMusic | I attempted to load mythbuntu on it last night. | 16:34 |
| PipeManMusic | Seemed to run all the way through the installer. | 16:34 |
| PipeManMusic | But when I woke up this morning it hadn't restarted itself. | 16:34 |
| PipeManMusic | The installer wasn't running either. | 16:35 |
| mrand | Appears they are a cross between a Pentium 2 and P3. | 16:35 |
| mrand | Sorry - what are you saying? The screen was blank? | 16:35 |
| PipeManMusic | No it was still running the live cd. | 16:35 |
| PipeManMusic | But the installer app was closed out of. | 16:36 |
| mrand | Anyway, unless there is a random incompatibility, I would expect it to install. The question is if it has enough horsepower to run the application, read data off the disk, etc. Video decoding might end up being a problem. I guess it doesn't hurt to try if you've got it handy and are doing the install. | 16:37 |
| mrand | It would probably do better as just a friend end or just a backend. Trying to have it do both might be too much. | 16:38 |
| mrand | friend-end = front-end. | 16:38 |
| PipeManMusic | I seemed to be working with knopmyth. | 16:40 |
| PipeManMusic | As far as playback goes. | 16:40 |
| PipeManMusic | I got it for free. | 16:40 |
| PipeManMusic | I'll keep tinkering with it. | 16:40 |
| PipeManMusic | At the very least I'll pick up a free CRT and set it up for my kids to play on. | 16:41 |
| Saviq | hi all, is it normal that mythbuntu resets my xorg.conf? I need to define custom modelines there but it gets overwritten upon boot? | 17:12 |
| tmkt | anyone noticed any issues playing AC3 files on lucid? all my dvd's that i ripped with handbrake that used to be 5.1 on previous mythbuntu all play dd 2.0 now | 19:50 |
| tmkt | mplayer/vlc no problems | 19:50 |
| tmkt | Max Audio Channels: Stereo (MUST BE SET TO STEREO as of 6/2/2009 for passthrough to work) | 20:17 |
| tmkt | is that the reason? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | been that way forever | 20:30 |
| balas | !help | 20:40 |
| Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 20:40 |
| balas | does one usually use bluetooth for a HTPC setup ? | 20:40 |
| tgm4883 | balas, no | 20:53 |
| mrand | balas: some people might have bluetooth keyboards or mice. What were you planning to use it for? | 20:54 |
| rhpot1991 | I used it for wiimotes before | 20:55 |
| rhpot1991 | once upon a time | 20:55 |
| tmkt | dunno..with 22 i had 5.1 all the time | 20:55 |
| tmkt | only since moving to 0.23 or lucid..not sure which caused it.. my m4v/ac3 files don't play as 5.1 | 20:56 |
| tmkt | so going to try that stereo thing tonight | 20:56 |
| tmkt | along wtih http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Digital_Sound#How_do_I_get_5.1_AC3_audio_to_work_again.3F | 20:56 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Configuring Digital Sound - MythTV | 20:56 |
| rhpot1991 | tmkt: most likely mythtv was producing 5.1 sound and not passing through with your prior configuration | 20:59 |
| tmkt | just like the posts i've read about it..very counterintuitive | 21:00 |
| tmkt | that i need to set mythtv to stereo for my receiver to get 5.1 | 21:01 |
| tmkt | can't hurt to try | 21:01 |
| tmkt | odd thing is that recordings are all happy, so i think it probably has more to do with that 2nd link and the iecset audio off setting | 21:02 |
| rhpot1991 | tmkt: thats the way I've always done it, the stereo vs 5.1 doesn't mean anything if you are using passthrough | 21:02 |
| tmkt | so then making that change to 2.0 won't do anything, and i should focus on the iecset method | 21:04 |
| rhpot1991 | I believe you *must* have it on stereo for passthrough to work | 21:04 |
| tmkt | ok | 21:05 |
| tmkt | thats what it seemed like in Allen's digital audio wiki | 21:05 |
| tmkt | guess just have to get home and giver a shot | 21:06 |
| tmkt | Go Train in 13 minutes | 21:06 |
| balas | mrand, i've no idea. my dad has a spare box, and he has a hdtv, and i thought i'd connect it to one of his tv's. i'm not sure how they are controlled, if not by wired keyboard | 21:10 |
| mrand | balas: there are a number of different wireless keyboards. Bluetooth is one. Wireless USB is another. Depending on how you are using it, you may or may not need a keyboard (if you only use it for watching tv shows, you don't need it... if you use it to browse the web, then you likely do want one). | 21:12 |
| balas | mrand, thank you. can mythbuntu do netflix ? | 21:14 |
| rhpot1991 | managing your queue yes, playing streaming no | 21:15 |
| balas | ooh ok | 21:15 |
| mrand | ugggg. 0.22 (which is in 9.10) has a netflix plugin, but I believe that it wasn't being maintained so it was dropped in 0.23. | 21:15 |
| rhpot1991 | you can only stream from drm laden OSs | 21:15 |
| mrand | but there is mythbrowser, and I assume you can queue via that. | 21:15 |
| rhpot1991 | mrand: ya I was talking about the plugin, didn't know it went away | 21:16 |
| balas | how does one stream netflix from a windows computer and receive on mythbuntu ? | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | it was kinda useless IMO | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | balas: your question doesn't make sense | 21:16 |
| balas | you said stream via drm laden os's | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | ah I meant to them, not from them | 21:17 |
| balas | ooh ok | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | its windows, osx only | 21:17 |
| balas | well thank you all for your help | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | you could in theory use a VM to play the streaming, I think I've heard of people doing that | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | its generally easier to just get one of the players that has that built in and not bother with it | 21:17 |
| balas | well my dad only has a roku on one of his tv's so if i could get it on another tv without another roku box that'd be great | 21:18 |
| rhpot1991 | you could use something like the hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 to record from the roku and stream it to mythfrontends around your house | 21:19 |
| rhpot1991 | at that rate you might be better just getting another roku or a BR player though | 21:20 |
| mrand | that rhpot1991 is a crazy man! | 21:20 |
| mrand | :-) | 21:20 |
| rhpot1991 | I have netflix and I don't stream either for the record | 21:20 |
| rhpot1991 | discs do me good enough | 21:21 |
| Jay2k1 | hello | 22:47 |
| tgm4883 | !hi | Jay2k1 | 22:47 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about hi | 22:47 |

| Jay2k1 | had a little problem this morning | 22:47 |
| tgm4883 | !stab rhpot1991 | 22:47 |
| * Zinn stabs rhpot1991 with a sharpened mce remote. | 22:47 | |
| Spanner3003 | hi i just updated to the latest mythtv 0.23 and now the frontend can't connect to the backend | 22:47 |
| tgm4883 | !logs | Spanner3003 | 22:48 |
| Zinn | Spanner3003: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 22:48 |
| Jay2k1 | saw this on the tv: http://pub.jay2k1.com/screenshots/mythtv-backend-respawn-loop.png | 22:48 |
| Zinn | [pub.jay2k1.com] | 22:48 |
| Jay2k1 | so i looked into the backend log | 22:48 |
| tgm4883 | Jay2k1, yea that doesn't look so good | 22:48 |
| tgm4883 | superm1, ^^ | 22:49 |
| Jay2k1 | saw this: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1851894 | 22:49 |
| Jay2k1 | so it appears the backend couldnt access the sql db | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | yea thats what it looks like to me too | 22:49 |
| Jay2k1 | this the last bits repeated for a few hours until i noticed it | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | Jay2k1, is mysql started? | 22:50 |
| superm1 | Jay2k1, that's during shutdown? | 22:50 |
| Jay2k1 | so - having this in the mythBACKEND log means that the backend was already started so it could log right? | 22:50 |
| Jay2k1 | no, boot | 22:50 |
| superm1 | what's the backend log look like? | 22:50 |
| superm1 | oh it's posted above, my bad | 22:50 |
| Jay2k1 | now the funny thing is, tehere's absolutely no entry in syslog or messages from that time (5:30) | 22:50 |
| superm1 | so you dont have 0.23 according to that | 22:51 |
| Jay2k1 | i thought when it booted up far enough to have the backend started, there should be something in syslog definitely (kernel logging...) | 22:51 |
| Jay2k1 | true, 0.22-fixes | 22:51 |
| superm1 | oh that was Spanner3003 who had 0.23 wasn't it | 22:51 |
| Spanner3003 | ok this is my logs | 22:51 |
| Spanner3003 | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/h53w43mW | 22:51 |
| superm1 | okay so is mysql actually running? | 22:51 |
| Jay2k1 | yeah, when i booted the machine the next time, everything was fine | 22:52 |
| superm1 | Spanner3003, make sure your ip address is correct | 22:52 |
| Spanner3003 | how? | 22:53 |
| Jay2k1 | the machine powered off itself at 00:11. it woke up for a scheduled recording at 05:28 and got stuck as seen in the log and screenshot - i noticed it when i got up this morning, at about 8:30. i had no time to investigate, so i held the power button to switch it off. when i came from work at 21:30 (no comments please :P), i switched it on and it booted normally. | 22:54 |
| tgm4883 | Spanner3003, what is the IP address of your backend? | 22:54 |
| Spanner3003 | 192.168.0.5 just changed it to 4 | 22:55 |
| tgm4883 | Spanner3003, your frontend is trying to connect to 192.168.0.5, but it says that it's not there | 22:55 |
| tgm4883 | so either the IP changed, or your backend isn't running | 22:56 |
| Spanner3003 | the ip changed i check the network thank you it seems ok now | 22:56 |
| tgm4883 | Spanner3003, your welcome | 22:57 |
| Jay2k1 | superm1: i've seen a post of yours in this thread http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8802152 where someone seems to have a similar problem, only that his problem was reproducible and that it just happened a few times in a row but after that, the machine managed to start. in my case though, it kept looping like this for about three hours, and i wasn't able to reproduce it afterwards | 22:59 |
| Zinn | [swiss.ubuntuforums.org] [SOLVED] Mythbuntu 9.10 fails to boot - Ubuntu Forums | 22:59 |
| Jay2k1 | still, to avoid this problem in the future I did as described and added mysql as pre-start job in /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf | 23:00 |
| Jay2k1 | but if it's really about the order being wrong in upstart once in a while, i should have had that error a few times - until mysql would run, but since it looped for three hours, i guess the reason was something else | 23:06 |
| tgm4883 | Jay2k1, sounds like mysql died but didn't restart | 23:10 |
| Jay2k1 | well, then the question would be, why did mysql die | 23:11 |
| Jay2k1 | perhaps i should get CSI to investigate | 23:11 |
| Jay2k1 | the mysql logs are empty | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | yea I don't know | 23:19 |
| tgm4883 | nor do I know why it didnt' restart | 23:19 |
| Jay2k1 | this is all very weird | 23:19 |
| tgm4883 | i'm not sure if mysql uses upstart or not, can't verify until i get home | 23:20 |
| Jay2k1 | how to tell? try /etc/init.d/mysql restart and see if it gives out a message about upstart? | 23:20 |
| Jay2k1 | anyways, i'm pretty sure that mysql wasn't the only thing that didn't start (or died right away) because, as mentioned before, syslog and messages and kern.log don't contain a single entry from that boot | 23:21 |
| Jay2k1 | and as far as i know (or assume), logging is one of the first things that is started, or at least it should be running before a process like mythbackend would be started | 23:23 |
| tgm4883 | Jay2k1, I would agree | 23:33 |
| Jay2k1 | i've run fsck, didn't find anything... | 23:34 |
| Jay2k1 | different topic | 23:36 |
| Jay2k1 | i hear 0.23 will be released soon | 23:36 |
| Jay2k1 | how would i upgrade? dpkg-reconfigure mythbubtu-repos? | 23:38 |
| mrand | Jay2k1: yes, that is one way. MCC also has a plugin for the repo's. It is also shippped by default in 10.04. | 23:41 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: why are you stabbing me? | 23:46 |
