kalelmehello00:53
kalelmesomething is happening to me  and I have not getting how to solve it, I have an encore ENLTV-FM 5.3, I  have set up correctly, and it works, the problem I have is that the  image quality is very bad, if I see the channel with tvtime, is the  right way, at 720x480, but if I see from the mythtv (see tv), but is  very poor quality, I tested the quality up in the configuration but the  same thing. anyone has any suggestions00:53
qwebirc76347I'm currently running Mythbuntu 9.10 with Autobuilds Repo enabled (0.22 PPA) and Mythbuntu-testing PPA.  Is it safe to switch to the 0.23 PPA (without doing an upgrade, etc)?01:04
munsis it wise to do search on every QAM such as 64-256 cuz don't know what this cable company is on01:04
munsalso i get some of the channels locked but lots of time out, 10 possible channels blahblah but there is no signal strengh or signal/noise meter at all is there supposed to be one?01:07
mrandI'm sorry to say that all channel scan problems need to be addressed in #mythtv-users unless you can find someone that has had this problem on the mythbuntu forums or mythtv-users mailing list.01:12
mrandqwebirc76347: Yes, it should be safe to do that... I did not have any troubles when I did the same thing.01:13
qwebirc76347mrand: Thanks...will try it now (fingers crossed!)01:13
qwebirc76347mrand: Just switched to 0.23 PPA and it's asking me to do a partial upgrade (presumably get some packages for 10.04).  Did you get the same thing?01:21
mrandqwebirc76347: the partial upgrade has to do with libmyth stuff01:25
mrandBut in short, yes, I did get that.01:26
mrandOr it might have to do with mythflix...  if you have it installed, you may need to remove it.01:26
mrandif it doesn't get auto-removed.01:26
quintenhi! just upgraded to 10.04, and fancontrol is broken.01:34
quinteni can re-run fancontrol, and it will work, but when i reboot it's broken again01:34
quintenConfiguration appears to be outdated, please run pwmconfig again01:35
mrandquinten: that would almost certainly be something with ubuntu generic ... I'd search the ubuntu forums, or maybe ask on #ubuntu01:35
mrandMythbuntu doesn't differ from base ubuntu in that respect (except xcfe rather than gnome)01:35
quintenokay, i'll try there01:36
qwebirc76347mrand: Upgrade all goodly...thanks again!01:42
mrandqwebirc76347: great news!01:48

nullFXhey, so I've got a problem of my x sessions randomly crashing03:22
nullFXi think it started with the lucid upgrade, but i never used this computer for its desktop environment much before that so i'm not 100% sure03:23
nullFXi had mythbuntu installed under karmic, and after upgrading to lucid i've since added the ubuntu role with the mythbuntu control centre03:23
nullFXso i've got xfce4 and gnome and the session crashing seems to happen in both03:24
nullFXthe gdm-binary still runs the whole time, but the sessions crash, and it fails to start a new one03:24
nullFXso my screen just goes blank (i don't go back to the greeter or anything)03:24
nullFXi can still remote in via ssh and those sessions don't have any problems03:25
nullFXand if it manually kill gdm-binary then the blank screen goes away and shows the text underneath from teh bootup03:25
nullFXrestarting gdm still doesn't boot me back into gnome or the greeter, though03:26
nullFXi'm not really sure what process is at fault for this, or what logs to look in or what to look for03:26
nullFXso, any ideas anyone?03:27

JonathanMI have a HVR-1600 tried to setup the back end and it does not detect any channels, yes it is plugged int ;)04:25
munsjonathanm, i'm workin on same issue04:41
munsso far i've updated the firmware in the kernel and the digital side i do get some channels locked but when doin that WatchTV in the frontend it says Please Wait... then it just goes back to menu for some reason04:42
JonathanMany one around?05:29
VolodymyrHi, guys08:19
VolodymyrCan anybody tell me which frontend/backend I should select while installing mythbuntu if I want to use PC as media center for myself?08:20
Pwenhi all. Im running Mythbuntu 10.04 and MythTV 0.23, which I recently updated. when I start mythfrontend it prints that mythvideo version is out of sync with the backend. how can I fix iths?09:31
PwenPlugin mythvideo (0.23.20100429-1) binary version does not match libraries (0.23.20100404-1)09:32
Pwen:(09:32
Pwengood thing I dont clear my apt cache often. if anyone else asks about it, tell them to "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/mythvideo_2%3a0.24.0~trunk24264-0ubuntu1_i386.deb" to get a working version back.09:40
lapiondoes anyone know how I can permantly set things such the video-scan method? and the audio delay ?11:35
mcl0vinanyone awake :)11:37
mcl0vinlapion: what card are you using?11:38
lapionLifeView/Typhoon/Genius FlyDVB-T Duo Cardbus [card=6011:40
lapionPhilips saa7133/4with tda829x and tda1004x11:43
lapionvery annoying that for the sound output of the analog card I have to use /dev/dsp1 and upconvert form 32000 to 4420011:44
lapionmcl0vin, any ideas ?11:44
mcl0vinhahaah i am using wintv-hvr-1600 and having the same issue11:45
mcl0vinwell mine is only 1 channel11:46
lapionwell at least for mythtv I do not have to use : sox -S -t alsa -c2 -r 32000 hw:1.0 -t ao pulse11:47
lapionmcl0vin, btw, I have no problems with the dvb video, only the analog part of the card11:47
mcl0vinwell i think am going to read about audio a little more11:47
mcl0vinlapion: can ou share a sample11:48
lapionsample of the stream you mean ?11:48
mcl0vinno of your urine :) yes dude11:49
lapionwhat myth tool should I use to cap the stream ?11:51
lapionmcl0vin, nvm, I'll just pause the video for a bit and then quit.. that should give a sample11:52
mcl0vinlapion: well you can do 'cat /dev/video0 > filename'12:01
lapionthat is 32mb for a few secs12:35
lapionany pastebin has your preference ?12:39
lapionmcl0vin,  any pastebin has your preference ?12:39
munsok who got their hvr-1600 workin..need some help here21:28
munsluv how a fresh install and can't even compile the v4l-dvb from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600#Startup_Script_for_Analog_Tuner21:32
Zinn[www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HVR-1600 - MythTV21:32
munsjust errors out and there is no documentation on how to fix21:33
munscrud even the hvr-1600-perf-2 just errored out wtf21:34
munsany linux gurus here want to help me fix these  make  errors stop21:35
rhpot1991muns: I don't have one, but I believe support is already built into the kernel so you shouldn't need to compile anything21:39
munsya tried everything i could21:41
munssomeone said to just update the fw and did and still nada showing up but fuzz21:41
munsi got the channels in there but i've tried creating both sides of the card analog and digital and analog doesn't work scanning channels and digital has lots of issues with timed out but has channel lock and well like i said i'm changing the channels but all of them are nuttin but fuzz21:42
munsthis is like my 6th time reinstall of mythbuntu 10.04 lol tried lots of stuff...hope someone comes on that got it to work lol21:45
mrandmuns: not following completely.  Does channel scanning and everything else fail outside of myth?21:45
mrandI do'nt have one either.21:45
munshow do i channel scan outside of myth21:45
munswhich program should i apt-get21:46
rhpot1991mrand: is analog channel scanning still broke?21:47
munsi've put the coax to the analog and did  cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/mplayer.mpg  and then used mplayer to view that file and same kinda black fuzz21:47
munsalso tried the fetch chans via listing and then started the scan on analog and nada21:48
mrandrhpot1991: Should be fixed on 0.2321:48
munsalso tried the auto-builds before and nada21:48
munsi'm wondering if 10.04 is broken or i need to d/l an older version?21:49
rhpot1991muns: sounds like your card is working then if you got fuzz21:49
rhpot1991just need to tune it21:49
mrandthat's what I'm thinking.  I believe there is a way to change the channel (tune) it outside of myth... but I'd have to google it.  Same for channel scanning - I know there is at least one, if not two programs that can do it.21:50
mrandI just don't know the off the top of my head.21:50
munsya figuring out how is the prob lol, i'm on page 8 of the forums..did search for this card and readin some issues21:50
munstried tvtime, xawtv21:50
rhpot1991there is a command you can use, its on one of the wiki pages somewhere21:51
rhpot1991you can tune with that then cat the device to test21:52
munshmm lemme try few wiki's see if i can find it21:52
munsk its in the utility dvb-utils21:53
rhpot1991thats not a dvb card so I dunno about that21:59
rhpot1991I thought it was related to ivtv or something21:59
munsk i'll try and find somethin22:00
munshmm still no luck finding it22:46
munsam i not supposed to do a chan scan if i use the schedulesdirect and fetch channels by listings23:21
munsi'm just trying to think of diff possibilities on how to get this wintv-hvr-1600 to work23:23
rhpot1991muns: its not required, SD will feed the information so the scan is redundant23:28
munskk23:29
munsjust finished filling the db and still nuttin but fuzz23:29
munsi'm changing all the chans and see the info using the up/down arrow keys but all chans are nuttin but fuzz still23:30
munstryin to find something to "tune" the card online still23:30
munsrhpot1991, do u think they are sending encrypted? cuz on previous scans it does show up channel 22lock, program 2, encrypted on the info screen and lots of other timeouts23:44
munsi get lots of locks but all show as encrypted23:44
