mrandmuns: many (most, actually) cable channels are encrypted now-a-days, but usually there are a few (mostly local stations) that are not.00:00
munsbut i still should once get card working see all the chans just as if i plugged the cable into my tv00:00
mrandexactly correct.  BTW, #mythtv-users is the correct channel to ask questions in, not #mythtv00:01
munsor do i need to get a cable box from cable company and wire that into this card00:01
munsoh00:01
mrandWhatever you see with your TV, you should be able to get via your card.00:01
munskk ya i'm still working on this problem00:02
mrandassuming kernel drivers work, etc.00:02
munsi'm just stumped on why nothing is working for me lol when i created all that i needed to in the backend00:02
munsdid the thought popup about that "tuning" the card or using another program to test it00:03
munsits just gettin to me and not sure if i should try older mythbuntu releases or somehow downgrade to 0.21 or try a diff kernel or somethin i'm lost here00:04
mrandmuns: I'm sorry, there really isn't a bunch of experts here to answer channel scanning questions - there are simply too many variables for those of us that don't even have the equipment to guess at... hence the recommendation to ask on #Mythtv-users00:06
munsya i'll ask there00:07
rhpot1991muns: digital cable is encrypted, analog should not be.  Maybe you don't have analog any longer?00:32
rhpot1991and normally you will get your locals on digital unencrpyted00:32
munswell thing is i plugin this cable to this tv and all my chans show up no prob i plugin to this card and nuttin but fuzz00:53
munsya i think they were updating all to digital00:55
munsbrb reboot time01:00
axisysanyone here able to feed their analog video into wintv pvr usb2 and capture it ?02:46
axisyscat /dev/video0 > file.mpg shows no video02:47
axisysmplayer file.mpg gives video snow and no audio02:47
axisyslooking for someone successfully captured video from wintv pvr usb202:48
axisyshttp://pastebin.com/rMk4AxFy get video snow and no sound02:49
pufftgm4883: Hey, so about that hd settop box thing..02:59
mrandaxisys: I have a PVR-USB2 on 9.10 with MythTV 0.23 and it works fine.  did you try more than whatever channel it defaults to at power up?03:06
axisysmrand: i am newbie03:07
axisysmrand: i tried mplayer tv:///0 to 4 .. none gave me any output either03:07
axisysmrand: i am 100% sure I am doing something stupid03:07
mrandif you feed that cable to the TV, does it show/tune?03:08
axisysmrand: camcorder -> y/r/w cable -> pvr usb2 -> usb on laptop03:08
mrandah.  not using the coax input.    I don't remember how mine is set up, actually - I appear to have both coax and composite connected.  Let me check.03:10
mrandaxisys: ok, I looks like I'm using composite for some reason as well.  You on 9.10 or 10.0403:13
axisysmrand: 10.0403:13
mrandaxisys: I'm turning the internet upsidedown trying to figure out how to select the composite input from command line03:23
axisysmrand: i am reading the man mplayer.. not sure of anything yet03:23
mrandaxisys: http://pvrusb2.dax.nu/   I assume these aren't outdated.  changesource.py.   You wan RCA input03:26
Zinn[pvrusb2.dax.nu] pvrusb203:26
axisysmrand: reading03:28
axisysmrand: http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.html this seems what is more updated? i read it earlier.. let me see what I missed..03:30
Zinn[www.isely.net] pvrusb2 Linux Driver03:30
mrandyeah, isely is the one that does the driver for it.  but I didn't quickly see anything there about input selection.03:30
tgm4883puff, yea?03:34
axisystried with xawtv and changing input to television/composite/s-video/radio .. no luck03:41
axisysNote that anything before version 4 will definitely not work with this since earlier versions did not support mpeg2 decoding03:42
axisysi am running lower than 4 .. doh!03:42
mrandaxisys: mpeg2 decoding?  Your usb2 box should be doing encoding, not decoding.03:45
axisysmrand: oh yeah.. doh!03:46
axisysmrand: xawtv let you change inputs with mouse click.. but that did not help03:49
axisyssuccess! vlc - < /dev/video0 worked03:52
axisysnow i need sound03:52
NixonI can't get mytharchive to work it terminates ffmpeg with an interleave error everytime? any ideas?03:58
lapionaxisys, what video chip does the soundsystem use ?05:30
lapionaxisys try:  sox -S -t alsa -c2 -r 32000 hw:1.0 -t ao pulse05:33
axisyslapion: i will have to try it tomorrow.. getting ready to go to bed.. thanks for the recom05:34
lapionaxisys,  some analog sound cards user a separate sound device running at 32000Hz for audio, this unloads the cpu from processing input sound05:37
lapionps you need to install pulse and alsa support for sox to use that line, and the syntax for the pulse output device changes for older versions ( pre lucid lynx) of sox05:39
lapionaxisys, however you will not need to separately run sox for myth, all you need tyo do is set the sound for the card to the correct input device, in my case it was /dev/dsp105:40

mcl0vingood morning folks16:03
rhpot1991morning16:05
mcl0vini need someone to help me setup my remote16:10
superm1st8ofmi9d, I don't have one, sorry16:17
Shadow__Xhey superm1 hows it going16:22
Jay2k1mcl0vin whats wrong16:25
mcl0vinJay2k1: i don't know how to configure it or setit up16:53
Jay2k1google for mythtv and lirc, lots of tutorials out there16:56
mrandmcl0vin: Mythbuntu Control Centre (MCC) provides an initial working config for many of the more standard remotes16:57
mcl0vinmrand: hey there, didn't know you were here16:57
mcl0vinmrand: Jay2k1 am using WinTV-HVR-160016:58
mcl0vinon a side note , what are the default ports for mythbox, i am trying to forward traffic to it17:05
superm1hi Shadow__X, good.  just wrapping up UDS17:57
mcl0vinon a side note , what are the default ports for mythbox, i am trying to forward traffic to it18:50
mrandmcl0vin: Pretty much whatever the defaults are for Ubuntu.  Only thing I know for sure is that 22 is open (ssh).  I don't know if port 80 is enabled by default or not, but if you install Mythweb, then  it'll be open for sure.18:53

fulld2Hello room21:07
fulld2I would like to send HD video signals over a OC-192 network to test said network21:07
fulld2Our line card has a XFP interface that runs at OC192 or 10G ethernet LAN&WAN21:08
fulld2is that something any of you might have experience with?21:08
mrandfulld2: The easiest thing to do would be to treat the interface as an Ethernet hose.  You can stream video over that, either by browsing the filesystem directly and using your favorite local media player (windows or Linux), or using Myth (certainly Linux, and possibly Windows) .  With that big a pipe, you could have lots of clients doing that simultaneously with different streams.21:17
mrandAlthough I guess multiple clients  would require a 10GE switch on at least one end.   I suppose you could have a single client, maybe with multiple monitors.  VDPAU would probably be your video decoding friend in this case... appear to support multiple streams.21:28
