ZinnCome play 2 rounds of #wolfie and get assistance with your issue00:28
mdisienoi have an nvidia powered htpc that is currently having some overscan issues with its dvi > hdmi connection to my vx37l,first of all what nvidia drivers has this magical toggle i hear of for overscan, or how do i get nvidia settings not to bypass my xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ that way my modelines can do what they are supposed to04:43
henkpoleyAre any annoying bugs known for mythbuntu 10.04 ?11:19
henkpoleyNot that I should really think about updating, everything seems to work at the moment ;-). Only the exit-popup is kinda slow.11:21
Davieyhenkpoley: I'm using it at home in production without issue.. but that isn't a gurantee11:29
Davieyif you are pretty tech savy, then we welcome more testers!11:29
bjdI'm using the latest build -- anyone else get a weird character when it says "now playing" when starting live tv?11:34
bjdwonder if that is theme specific or encoding issues maybe11:34
henkpoleyI'd say snap a screenshot (possibly with camera) and submit a bug11:40
henkpoleyDaviey: you know if switching pack to the nvidia proprietary driver is easy? I believe 10.04 runs with nuveau11:41
henkpoleyAh, the 2.6.32 kernel also seems to fix the HDMI audio for my GT200 card. Though I have a work around for that, that works just fine (digital audio suppressed, so analog audio cable works).11:46
Davieyhenkpoley: I would think it is.. the funny thing is - i have no idea what i am using :)11:46
henkpoleyYou are not playing back HD video ?11:46
Davieyhenkpoley: my main frontend, i just upgraded and it "just worked" with VDPAU - so i would think the non-free upgrade of nvidia driver was painless11:47
Davieyhenkpoley: I am.11:47
henkpoleyMaybe it's only for new installations, nouveau doesn't seem to support vdpau11:48
Davieyhenkpoley: I'm pretty confident the non-free is ok11:48
henkpoleyThe way you talk about it, it seems that the interface to switch is still there, and working in the beta. Which isn't always the case with nvidia drivers around the time of ubuntu releases ;-)11:50
Daviey(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so11:51

Daviey(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  195.36.15  Thu Mar 11 22:01:49 PST 201011:51
henkpoley:-)11:51
Davieyhenkpoley: my main frontend is my only nvidia device in the house.. I didn't even think about that working, i just upgraded11:52
henkpoleycould you also `cat /proc/asound/version` ?11:52
henkpoleyNot that I particularly need HDMI audio, but it's a cable less11:52
Davieyhenkpoley: i use HDMI audio11:55
DavieyAdvanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.11:55
henkpoleythanks, that's not the version I need11:55
Davieyhow11:55
henkpoleyI believe .22 can be overriden, and .23 works out of the box11:55
Davieyhowever i use an internal alsa mixer prior to hdmi11:55
henkpoleyYes, but you do not use the GT200, which is rather new11:56
Davieyahh11:56
Davieyhenkpoley: > two years old?11:57
henkpoleyAnyways, I'm off to the scouts, got to hide some chocolate eggs ;-) (and see how much of the boats are already prepared or painted)11:57
henkpoleyer no, "something 200" then11:57
henkpoleylast fall11:57
Davieyheh11:58
Davieyo/11:58
henkpoleycheap silent card, btw11:59
dananybody know what user the "Control Centre" is run as from the "Diskless Server" page?17:20
danI'm forwarding X over ssh and when I click the Control Centre button I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication."17:20
danthe rest of mythbuntu-control-centre works fine17:21
tgm4883what version of mythbuntu?17:26
danubuntu 8.04, can't see a version number for mythbuntu17:27
tgm4883it would be 8.0417:32
tgm4883I think that runs as the regular user17:32
tgm4883so when you click on the diskless server page of MCC you get that error?17:32
danyeah in the terminal17:33
tgm4883hmm17:33
danif i run with -X rather than -Y i get a load of python errors17:33
tgm4883let me ping the dev on that, i'm not sure he is around though as he is in germany17:34
danok thanks think it might be my lack of knowledge about ssh and X as much as anything else17:35
tgm4883dan, doesn't look like he is around right now17:47
danok, thanks for trying17:49
tgm4883dan, looks like it runs as root18:05
danthanks18:42
danit's strange, because obviously mythbuntu-control-centre runs as root too, and that seems fine18:47
tgm4883dan from dev "hum. we do perform some magic to mount the X11 socket (AFAIR!!) in the chroot. that can pose problems when using X11 forwarding.. maybe ssh does something differently and we don't account for that"18:51
tgm4883unfortunatly diskless no longer has a maintainer, and it hasn't been ported to the new version of MCC18:51
danno worries18:57
dani will come back to it tomorrow18:57
avihayWhat player does mythtv uses for movies in the media library? is it MPlayer?23:15
superm1internal player23:22
superm1(by default)23:22
superm1it can be configured to use an external player if desired though on a file type by file type bases23:23
superm1basis23:23
Davieysince about 0.21 the Internal player works for pretty much everything thrown at it23:25
avihaywell, when I press a button on my remote, it shows a window titled mplayer23:29
avihayI'm useing version 0.21 or whatever came with mythbuntu 8.0423:30
avihay*8.04.123:30
avihaythe thing is, my subtitles appear in the wrong charset23:30
avihayI can get a movie to show fine under mplayer23:31
avihayif I could use the same setting on the player window that mythtv opens, it should be fine23:32
Davieyavihay: 8.04 is really pretty old now.. If it were me, i'd upgrade.23:39
avihayyes, well, I am haveing trouble with 9.10 and myth .2223:40
avihayBut I think I'm starting to understand how to solve them23:40
avihaythe biggest problem I have with .22 is that it doesn't show my movies/videos23:42
avihayeveryone is all like "press menu and press refresh". I couldn't find it. in .21, when I enter the video meneger (where you can do stuff to all the videos like makeing them invisible,) it does a refresh. it doesn't seem to happen in .2223:44
Davieyhmm23:45
Davieyavihay: there is an option in the settings to get the behaviour you want23:45
Davieyi'm pretty sure it's always defaulted to the "press menu and press refresh"23:45
Davieyi know on .22 and .23 I have it show all content.23:46
avihayIt's on an NTFS paritition. I started to think for a while that that was the problem23:46
Davieyi wouldn't have thought so23:47
Davieybut NTFS isn't one i would recoomend23:47
Davieyrecommend23:47
avihayI might try mythbuntu 10.04 if it comes out with .2323:47
Davieyavihay: please do, for savy people we need more testers23:47
DavieyI'm running it in production23:48
bjdmmm, I may upgrade to 0.23 tomorrow then :)23:49
avihayIt's a machine for my ol'e folks.... so it has to work 100% at the things they use.23:50
Davieysuperm1: Regarding xmltv, upstream are releasing soon.  Which will give us a new grabber.. However, Debian unstable will have a new cvs snapshot (with the grabber fix for UK) when Debian buildd's have caught up from there back log23:51
DavieyI'm thinking about syncing the snapshot, then bumping to the new release if it comes out on time23:51
DavieyWhat do you think?23:52
superm1sounds fine by me23:52
superm1btw, do you know how to query if you are able to upload a particular package based on your current rights?23:52

superm1i thought we were seeding it23:55
Davieyxmltv is there23:55
avihayso, any idea about the subtitles? maybe I should use mplayer as the external player?23:56
Davieyavihay: yeah, as hardy is pretty old - it might be better23:57
Davieyas i say, if it were me - i'd upgrade23:57
avihayI downgraded because it didn't work with the newer version23:59
avihayit just wouldn't list my movies23:59
