| nikitis | Okay, I need to ask a popular question. I currently have a Fusion RT 5 Lite HDTV Tuner card. not exactly functional with mythtv. I want a card that will work with 64-bit Linux and 64-bit windows 7. Any recommendations? | 04:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Wicked | if you want hd...only real good option is hauppauge hd-pvr | 04:11 |
| nikitis | which model? | 04:12 |
| nikitis | That's a usb model | 04:12 |
| nikitis | I'd prefer a PCI-e version | 04:13 |
| Wicked | i only think there is one model | 04:13 |
| Wicked | well..if you want to cap hd premium channels....hd pvr is the only way to go... | 04:13 |
| Wicked | its that...or capturing free to air hd...which can very on what channels you can get | 04:14 |
| nikitis | I don't really care fore capturing much. I'm just wanting something to watch LOST in HD over ATSC while raiding in World of Warcraft lol. | 04:14 |
| Wicked | ah | 04:14 |
| Wicked | sec. hauppague makes a few good cards | 04:15 |
| Wicked | well check out the mythtv wiki on cards....some of the hauppauge cards not everything works in linux | 04:15 |
| nikitis | i duel-boot so option for Windows 7 64-bit as well as Linux 64 bit supported card would be great. | 04:16 |
| nikitis | The HVR 1800 looks sweet connection wise. | 04:17 |
| nikitis | But it's old and not sure if it will be supported for much longer | 04:17 |
| Wicked | yea. im not really sure what you would want. best to google and check out the mythtv wiki on cards. | 04:18 |
| nikitis | the HVR 2250 has less connections but is newer, So i don't know little intricate details such as maybe it has better reception than the 1800? Things like that I can't google. | 04:19 |
| nikitis | I came here for user experience | 04:19 |
| mrand | HD Homerun is the best overall QAM/ATSC device. | 04:19 |
| mrand | Not the cheapest, they come in single and dual tuner models. Not the cheapest thing around, but not the most expensive either. | 04:19 |
| mrand | oops, kill that first "not the cheapest" | 04:20 |
| rhpot1991 | I recommend the HDHR as well | 05:26 |
| tmetro | Seting up an HDHR for digital cable. I have HRC frequencies here and: | 07:00 |
| tmetro | ./scte65scan -H FFFFFFFF,0 us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256 | 07:00 |
| tmetro | found nothing. Where do I obtain other frequency tables? | 07:00 |
| tmetro | Looks like: | 07:02 |
| tmetro | http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/180772?search_string=center-frequencies-QAM256;#180772 | 07:02 |
| tmetro | says to try http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbtools/ | 07:02 |

| tmetro | yeah, thanks. | 07:02 |
| tmetro | I had googled, but forgot to mine the list archives first. | 07:02 |
| tmetro | I am a bit puzzled why they didn't just bundle them all with scte65scan. They're small static files. | 07:04 |
| tmetro | Actually the files don't seem to exist in either of the packages published by that project. Unless they are generated during compilation, though I don't see why that would be the case. | 07:11 |
| === _Metoer is now known as Metoer | ||
| tmetro | Not in the Ubuntu packages either. | 07:21 |
| tripppy | hi guys | 07:30 |
| tripppy | x11vnc isnt working properly. i can remote desktop to the mythtv backend once, but after i close the vnc client window, i cannot reconnect unless i reboot the backend. any idea's if this is myth, ubuntu or x11s' problem | 07:31 |
| tmetro | an easy option is to try a different VNC server. There are at least 3 that can easily be installed from packages. | 07:33 |
| tripppy | yeah ok. thatnks | 07:33 |
| tripppy | x11vnc was the one that worked on the current working desktop, others have created another blank desktop... | 07:34 |
| tripppy | ill have to work around that | 07:34 |
| tmetro | true. Vino clear shares the normal desktop session. I'm not sure about tightvnc. | 07:35 |
| tmetro | clear=clearly | 07:35 |
| tripppy | tmetro: you know how to make it '0' not '1' | 07:36 |
| tmetro | you mean the X display number? | 07:36 |
| tmetro | the bundled Vino server already does that, I thought. | 07:37 |
| tmetro | The other thing to do is examine the x11vnc logs. It logs profusely. | 07:38 |
| tripppy | mmm. im running mythbuntu, im pretty sure vino wasnt installed/working... off to check. | 07:50 |
| tripppy | yeah. ok. wasnt installed. now installed, now working | 07:55 |
| tmetro | great | 08:02 |
| tripppy | lol | 08:03 |
| tripppy | i just rebooted | 08:03 |
| tripppy | not working | 08:03 |
| tripppy | just ran vino-preferences, now it works | 08:04 |
| tripppy | arggh | 08:06 |
| tripppy | just running it. not changing any settings, it works... | 08:08 |
| tmkt | morning | 15:45 |
| mdisieno | pmcenery, im back and having no luck with modelines ,it seems whatever i do nvidia-settings screws it up | 17:59 |
| smoovemove | hello all - is upgrading to 0.23 RC1 as simple as changing the PPA in MCC and then running the update mgr? Currently on 0.22-fixes. | 20:04 |
| mrand | smoovemove: yes, it really is. | 20:11 |
| mrand | Note that 0.23 isn't released and so has some minor breakages, but overall is better than 0.22. Probably be rock solid in a week or two. | 20:13 |
| smoovemove | that's awesome. new to mythbuntu, and things like that make my life much easier! | 20:15 |
| smoovemove | (aka high waf, etc.) Thanks mrand. | 20:16 |
| dewman | smoovemove, waf is very important.....My waf factor is at a all time low at the moment. | 20:20 |
| tgm4883 | dewman, ? | 20:28 |
| dewman | tgm4883, ? | 20:29 |
| dewman | =) | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | dewman, well my backlog only goes back a few days, but that is the 2nd thing i've seen you say | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | the first was <dewman> hello everyone... | 20:30 |
| tgm4883 | i'm not a psychic, so it's a little hard to help you if you don't say what the issue is | 20:31 |
| pmcenery | Hi mrand | 20:32 |
| mrand | hey there. | 20:32 |
| pmcenery | Just looking at testing some mount stuff on this patched version I'm running | 20:32 |
| mrand | ah. | 20:32 |
| pmcenery | I've done some basic command line mounts while livetv is running and there appears to be no issues | 20:32 |
| dewman | tgm4883, ahh.....gotcha | 20:33 |
| mrand | pmcenery: I didn't get a chance to do that last night. Thanks. Instead, I installed 7.10, upgraded to 8.04, then tried to upgrade to 10.04. | 20:34 |
| pmcenery | mrand: I just tried mounting manually while mythtv is running, not running, etc, and there dont appear to be any issues | 20:40 |
| smoovemove | dewman: sorry to hear about the waf. | 20:40 |
| pmcenery | dvd playback is working every time now. Very well in fact. Even transcoding is not a problem | 20:41 |
| pmcenery | I'll provide feedback on the bug | 20:42 |
| mrand | pmcenery: I'm busy at the moment, so I greatly appreciate it. Maybe our activity on the bug will prompt them to fix it on the 0.23 branch. | 20:44 |
| pmcenery | mrand: Ok. I've updated all the bug reports. Unfortunately, thats all I'll be doing today... tired... | 20:55 |
| pmcenery | later... | 20:56 |
| mrand | have fun! | 21:10 |
| pmcenery | I'm back briefly... just wanted to ask the question... is anyone working on a mythbuntu plymouth theme? | 21:36 |
| pmcenery | I'm guessing its not that hard by the look of the default Ubuntu one | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | pmcenery, I believe there is one | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | I think it's already in the repos | 21:37 |
| pmcenery | tgm4883: I dont see it in apt-cache search, unless its been added in like the last 24 hours! | 21:38 |
| pmcenery | If that is the case... we may want that to be the default theme used in the next beta release | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | pmcenery, it should be in mythbuntu-default-settings | 21:41 |
| pmcenery | tgm4883: Mmmm. Is is meant to be the maroon looking background with the words Ubuntu? | 21:44 |
| pmcenery | Thats what I ended up with after a beta1 install | 21:44 |
| pmcenery | although... update-alternatives on default.plymouth points to a "mythbuntu" logo | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | pmcenery, I'd have to look into that, i'm at work right now | 21:45 |
| pmcenery | tgm4883: no rush... | 21:45 |
| pmcenery | just wanted to make sure a default install was ending up with the right logo's etc | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | mrand, ^ | 21:46 |
| superm1 | pmcenery, are you sure it's not marroon looking with the word mythbuntu? | 21:47 |
| superm1 | and if it is, then try rebuilding the initramfs and rebooting seeing if it persists | 21:47 |
| pmcenery | superm1: Yeh... it definitely says Ubuntu. text.plymouth only has one "alternative" | 21:47 |
| superm1 | is it booting with text or graphical then? | 21:48 |
| superm1 | we dont have an alternative text one right now | 21:48 |
| pmcenery | Graphical. Although the logo says Ubuntu. Maybe I need to rebuild the initramfs | 21:49 |
| pmcenery | I'll check it and report back later | 21:49 |
| pmcenery | my alternatives look like this... http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/x8wpZEX6 | 21:51 |
| superm1 | according to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-default-settings/annotate/head:/debian/postinst we should have been doing that though | 21:51 |
| pmcenery | I've only ever seen the Ubuntu logo after installing from the beta1 CD, and its had a few kernel updates, so I would have thought it would pick it up. I'll check it out tomorrow | 21:52 |
| pmcenery | I'll report back with my findings...later | 21:54 |
