[00:00] <mrand> muns: many (most, actually) cable channels are encrypted now-a-days, but usually there are a few (mostly local stations) that are not.
[00:00] <muns> but i still should once get card working see all the chans just as if i plugged the cable into my tv
[00:01] <mrand> exactly correct.  BTW, #mythtv-users is the correct channel to ask questions in, not #mythtv
[00:01] <muns> or do i need to get a cable box from cable company and wire that into this card
[00:01] <muns> oh
[00:01] <mrand> Whatever you see with your TV, you should be able to get via your card.
[00:02] <muns> kk ya i'm still working on this problem
[00:02] <mrand> assuming kernel drivers work, etc.
[00:02] <muns> i'm just stumped on why nothing is working for me lol when i created all that i needed to in the backend
[00:03] <muns> did the thought popup about that "tuning" the card or using another program to test it
[00:04] <muns> its 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 here
[00:06] <mrand> muns: 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-users
[00:07] <muns> ya i'll ask there
[00:32] <rhpot1991> muns: digital cable is encrypted, analog should not be.  Maybe you don't have analog any longer?
[00:32] <rhpot1991> and normally you will get your locals on digital unencrpyted
[00:53] <muns> well 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 fuzz
[00:55] <muns> ya i think they were updating all to digital
[01:00] <muns> brb reboot time
[02:46] <axisys> anyone here able to feed their analog video into wintv pvr usb2 and capture it ?
[02:47] <axisys> cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg shows no video
[02:47] <axisys> mplayer file.mpg gives video snow and no audio
[02:48] <axisys> looking for someone successfully captured video from wintv pvr usb2
[02:49] <axisys> http://pastebin.com/rMk4AxFy get video snow and no sound
[02:59] <puff> tgm4883: Hey, so about that hd settop box thing..
[03:06] <mrand> axisys: 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?
[03:07] <axisys> mrand: i am newbie
[03:07] <axisys> mrand: i tried mplayer tv:///0 to 4 .. none gave me any output either
[03:07] <axisys> mrand: i am 100% sure I am doing something stupid
[03:08] <mrand> if you feed that cable to the TV, does it show/tune?
[03:08] <axisys> mrand: camcorder -> y/r/w cable -> pvr usb2 -> usb on laptop
[03:10] <mrand> ah.  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.
[03:13] <mrand> axisys: ok, I looks like I'm using composite for some reason as well.  You on 9.10 or 10.04
[03:13] <axisys> mrand: 10.04
[03:23] <mrand> axisys: I'm turning the internet upsidedown trying to figure out how to select the composite input from command line
[03:23] <axisys> mrand: i am reading the man mplayer.. not sure of anything yet
[03:26] <mrand> axisys: http://pvrusb2.dax.nu/   I assume these aren't outdated.  changesource.py.   You wan RCA input
[03:26] <Zinn> [pvrusb2.dax.nu] pvrusb2
[03:28] <axisys> mrand: reading
[03:30] <axisys> mrand: 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 Driver
[03:30] <mrand> yeah, isely is the one that does the driver for it.  but I didn't quickly see anything there about input selection.
[03:34] <tgm4883> puff, yea?
[03:41] <axisys> tried with xawtv and changing input to television/composite/s-video/radio .. no luck
[03:42] <axisys> Note that anything before version 4 will definitely not work with this since earlier versions did not support mpeg2 decoding
[03:42] <axisys> i am running lower than 4 .. doh!
[03:45] <mrand> axisys: mpeg2 decoding?  Your usb2 box should be doing encoding, not decoding.
[03:46] <axisys> mrand: oh yeah.. doh!
[03:49] <axisys> mrand: xawtv let you change inputs with mouse click.. but that did not help
[03:52] <axisys> success! vlc - < /dev/video0 worked
[03:52] <axisys> now i need sound
[03:58] <Nixon> I can't get mytharchive to work it terminates ffmpeg with an interleave error everytime? any ideas?
[05:30] <lapion> axisys, what video chip does the soundsystem use ?
[05:33] <lapion> axisys try:  sox -S -t alsa -c2 -r 32000 hw:1.0 -t ao pulse
[05:34] <axisys> lapion: i will have to try it tomorrow.. getting ready to go to bed.. thanks for the recom
[05:37] <lapion> axisys,  some analog sound cards user a separate sound device running at 32000Hz for audio, this unloads the cpu from processing input sound
[05:39] <lapion> ps 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 sox
[05:40] <lapion> axisys, 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/dsp1
[06:04] <hot_wheelz> Hi does any one have a fully mapped properly working lirc.conf file for a Logitech Harmony Remote?
[06:23] <hot_wheelz> when setting up mythbuntu is it recommend to use the proprietary graphics driver or not?...I just been testing at this stage so I am unsure
[06:41] <hot_wheelz> anyone?
[06:51] <Shadow__X> hot_wheelz: what video card do you have
[06:51] <Shadow__X> and as for the remote lirc google is your friend also check the wiki
[06:53] <hot_wheelz> shadow_X it an ati
[06:54] <hot_wheelz> i am running 10.04 btw
[06:55] <Shadow__X> which ati
[06:56] <Shadow__X> theres more than1
[06:56] <hot_wheelz> 4550 or 4650
[06:57] <Shadow__X> use proprietary
[06:59] <hot_wheelz> ok the one thing i did when try it is it would like duplicate the picture if u know what i mean were as disabling it it would be fine
[07:03] <Shadow__X> excuse me?
[08:17] <hot_wheelz> also what is required to stream tv via mythweb
[08:17] <hot_wheelz> is there a package?
[08:38] <hot_wheelz> that works with 0.23
[10:56] <qwebirc1116> i have recently bulit my 10.04 system and got my hvr-2200 working ok, however when I reboot it the front reports an
[10:56] <qwebirc1116> error that all cards are in use but no recordings
[10:57] <qwebirc1116> I can fix it by killall the mythbackend and restarting it. Any idea as to what is causing this
[11:02] <qwebirc1116> bump
[11:03] <qwebirc1116> i'll try the forums bye!
[13:21] <st8ofmi9d> superm1: I hear that you have a Dell Zino. Have you have any troubles with it overheating after an hour or so?
[16:03] <mcl0vin> good morning folks
[16:05] <rhpot1991> morning
[16:10] <mcl0vin> i need someone to help me setup my remote
[16:17] <superm1> st8ofmi9d, I don't have one, sorry
[16:22] <Shadow__X> hey superm1 hows it going
[16:25] <Jay2k1> mcl0vin whats wrong
[16:53] <mcl0vin> Jay2k1: i don't know how to configure it or setit up
[16:56] <Jay2k1> google for mythtv and lirc, lots of tutorials out there
[16:57] <mrand> mcl0vin: Mythbuntu Control Centre (MCC) provides an initial working config for many of the more standard remotes
[16:57] <mcl0vin> mrand: hey there, didn't know you were here
[16:58] <mcl0vin> mrand: Jay2k1 am using WinTV-HVR-1600
[17:05] <mcl0vin> on a side note , what are the default ports for mythbox, i am trying to forward traffic to it
[17:57] <superm1> hi Shadow__X, good.  just wrapping up UDS
[18:50] <mcl0vin> on a side note , what are the default ports for mythbox, i am trying to forward traffic to it
[18:53] <mrand> mcl0vin: 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.

[21:07] <fulld2> Hello room
[21:07] <fulld2> I would like to send HD video signals over a OC-192 network to test said network
[21:08] <fulld2> Our line card has a XFP interface that runs at OC192 or 10G ethernet LAN&WAN
[21:08] <fulld2> is that something any of you might have experience with?
[21:17] <mrand> fulld2: 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.
[21:28] <mrand> Although 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.
