[02:32] anyone here [04:00] What library/package provides FLAC to MythTV? I seem to have removed it by accident. Now I get "Error: No encoder, failing" but I still have flac, libflac, and libflac++ installed (this is on xubuntu 10.04) [04:00] !help flac [04:00] !help flac For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].

[04:09] bcgrown: I recall libfaad possibly, but I think there were license concerns about libflac. Or I might be confused. [04:15] mrand: could it be in gnome-media-common or libgnome-media0? those seem like unlikely candidates [04:16] mrand: and i already have libfaad2 installed anyway :( [04:26] where is the directv.pl chanel changers script in mythbuntu I cant seem to find it [04:27] don't have one on my box, just checked [04:28] (on lucid) [04:28] bcgrown: same here [04:28] find / -name directv.pl was not located [04:29] http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml [04:29] [www.pdp8.net] DIRECTV Box serial interface script [10:19] Hi [10:25] Jay2k1: Hola ... last night i installed latest kernel, without any luck, im starting to think that the latest versions of kernel no longer fully support the HVR-1120 [10:34] hmm [10:34] well that's weird [10:34] do you have a spare hard disk? [10:35] i have a 500GB hd installed in that machine that is not still in use, why? [10:37] if i were forced to bet, .... im almost sure, 3 days ago, cat /proc/bus/input/devices was showing something cx88 related [10:38] but maybe it was just a dream :P [10:39] LIRC install, reinstall, etc etc could damage something? [10:45] hmm [10:45] i'd suggest - as a start - to use a spare hdd and install mythbuntu [10:46] spare so we won't break your existing setup [10:46] and then, with a fresh install, we could see if the ir port is detected [10:46] if so, we could move forwards until it runs [10:50] yep, i will do that tonight (im connected right now on VNC from office and mythbuntu is not in the CD bay) [10:51] should i use mythbuntu 9.04 or 9.10 for this try? [10:51] i fear its a 10.04 issue [10:52] mmm not much sense [10:55] i used 9.10 [10:55] that came with myth 0.22 [10:56] then i enabled auto builds and updated [10:56] as 0.23 came out, i enabled auto builds for 0.23 and did a dist-upgrade [10:56] i had no problems with that, but i've seen some guys on the forums who had some trouble [10:56] the good thing is, you can do it all at the beginning [10:56] no risk to break something that worked stable for a year or so ;) [11:00] yep [11:00] also im thinking on a more radical solution [11:01] that is ... using that card just for DVB-T, and buying a new one for IR and second tuner [11:02] well [11:02] i'd first test with a fresh mythbuntu install :) [11:02] thats the way it worked for me anyway [11:02] if i finally do that ... what would you say is teh MOST compatible card (or USB stick) in the actual market? [11:03] sorry but i have no idea [11:03] also .. a card with blaster included would be very useful for my STB [11:03] i had an old nova-t for dvb-t here, that worked out of the box, also with remote, and then i bought a dvb-c card to have dolby digital 5.1 sound and better picture quality [11:04] dvb-t is just a backup now [11:04] incase i want to record two things at the same time which are in different multiplexes [11:04] blaster? stb? [11:04] DVB-C? thats for cable right? [11:05] yup [11:05] i have cable TV from a fiber optic local carrier [11:05] i have an STB (set top box, or decoder or wathever you call it) [11:06] its like this: Coax cable ---> STB ---> SCART ----> TV [11:06] i happen to be in the joyful situation to have a digital cable which fee is included in the rent for the flat [11:07] and they broadcast analog as well as digital [11:07] so i just had to buy a dvb-c tuner and it worked without any new contracts or such [11:07] how is that cable? is it coaxial? [11:07] yes [11:07] also, they don't encrypt, so i don't need a CI module/CAM/Smartcard [11:07] just the dvb-c card and go :) [11:08] before you had your Myth it was connected to TV or STB? [11:08] now i have a few hd chans and for most stuff dolby digital ac3 sound, be it stereo or 5.1 surround - and way better quality than terrestrial [11:08] aah ok stb, ofc, set top box [11:09] before it was connected directly to the tv [11:09] guess i cant do that [11:09] heh, no [11:09] my provider encrypts [11:09] the tv has an analog tuner [11:09] so i need my STB to decrypt [11:09] yup [11:10] either that or a tuner card that supports a decryption module [11:10] thats why a blaster would be helpful [11:10] what would that be? [11:10] an IR transmisor to allow Myth to change channel on STB [11:11] so my perfect buy would be a fully 100% compatible DVB-T and Composite video with IR remote AND IR transmisor [11:11] aaah [11:11] heh [11:11] transmitter :) [11:12] yup, sorry my english sucks [11:12] actually it's quite good [11:12] compared to other spanish people i met on irc [11:13] it's a bad habit from me... i tend to correct people [11:13] http://www.ciao.co.uk/Pinnacle_PCTV_Hybrid_Tuner_Kit_for_Windows_Vista_330eV__6658998 [11:13] [www.ciao.co.uk] Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Tuner Kit for Windows Vista 330eV: Read product information and write a Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Tuner Kit for Windows Vista 330eV review [11:14] when i make mistakes i like to be corrected so i can get better...so i assume everyone would like it, which is wrong sometimes [11:14] dont worry, i like to be corrected, only way to not make same mistakes over and over [11:14] exactly [11:15] i'm afraid i can't help you with that though [11:15] (such a card) [11:16] unlike some others here, i'm just another end user who just knows enough to make his own setup work ;) [11:16] that one has IR transmitter and receiver, DVB-T, analog, s-video ... has all, but ... its a kit and exact model is not explicitly said in the box, so no way if it is in the LinuxTV compatible list [11:17] can't you find that out on google or so [11:17] well, you know a lot more than me, i switched from windows to linux just a month ago, i have to ask google for every daily task [11:17] heh [11:18] yeah, i'm a system administrator, linux servers are one of my main tasks [11:18] but hey, you're still here [11:18] i'd say you're doing quite good [11:19] many people tend to lose patience after a few days of struggeling [11:19] where in spain do you live, if i may ask? [11:24] Valencia [11:25] cant find any info about that card [11:25] wow a sysadmin [11:26] yup [11:26] hm, haven't been there yet [11:26] have been mainly in the south [11:26] Andalucia is prttier [11:27] so i didn't miss anything huh? :) [11:27] Valencia has little to offer, Alicante has nice beaches (Alicante is one of 3 provinces in Valencia) [11:27] i've been to malaga, jerez, murcia, cordoba, madrid [11:28] cadiz [11:28] well if you like modern Architecture, La Ciudad de Las ciencias is awesome [11:28] but you can see it in one day [11:28] i liked the sherry in jerez :> [11:28] hope you were not in cordoba in summer [11:28] afair it was summer more or less [11:29] im sorry for you [11:29] was a trip at the end of school with the spanish class, when i was 18 or so [11:30] i was working in August in cordoba ... i had never before seen streets melting [11:30] heh [11:30] yeah it was pretty hot [11:30] can i ask how old are you? [11:30] we wanted to go to the beach all the time, and our teacher wanted to show us all kinds of things and places [11:30] i'm 26 [11:31] im 39 [11:31] one day we managed to actually get to the beach [11:31] hehe teachers ... [11:31] we've been in a bodega in jerez, harvey's [11:31] they make harveys bristol cream sherry [11:31] yup, good one [11:31] it was like 11am when we finished the guided tour through it [11:32] then they had set up some tables where you could taste [11:32] they had like an atrium [11:32] no wind there but the sun burnt inside [11:32] they had like 50 or 60 glasses [11:32] but our class was like 7 or 8 people [11:33] there was another group of 5 but they left after the first glass [11:33] someone had to drink the rest of course [11:33] and it tasted so good [11:33] hehehe quick maths ... 50/8 = 7 glasses .... you went back to hotel on four legs? [11:33] so, an hour later, when the sun couldn't burn hotter, we were all drunk, including our teacher [11:34] not to hotel - to the beach [11:34] aahhh thats why you managed to let you go beach [11:34] XDDD [11:34] our teacher initially wanted to drive with us to some other places but she was as drunk as we were [11:35] i mean we were close to finishing school, so we were used to drinking lots of alcohol [11:35] apparently, she was not [11:35] we had some fun :) [11:36] and i bought myself a 1.5l bottle of harveys bristol cream there because i liked it so much [11:36] it's almost empty now but i found a store where i can buy it here [11:40] Jay2k1: one noob question, im reading about a card that says "IR acts as input device, so no need for LIRC" would that mean taht LIRC is the one responsible for showing the IR in the /proc/...../devices??? [11:41] i doubt it [11:41] if it were ... my LIRC is all messed [11:41] but i can't say for sure [11:41] maybe fixing LIRC ... mmmm [11:41] well, you could still apt-get remove lirc [11:41] i could uninstal [11:41] yep [11:41] then remove the config files [11:41] trying is free [11:42] in /etc/lirc or /home/youruser/.lir* [11:42] or even both :P [11:42] btw auto-builds works alone or do i have to activate enything? [11:44] you have to enable auto builds as described on the homepage of mythbuntu [11:44] it''l ask you a few questions (which version etc) [11:44] when that's done, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and you'll be fine [11:46] mmm i think this LIRC issue is a good address i remember now having installed using synaptic many LIRC-related packages :( i see a lot of marked as installed things, which ones are really needed? [11:47] liblircclient0 is needed? [11:48] mmm how to stop backend? === Seeker`_ is now known as seeker [11:52] sudo /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop [11:52] i think [11:53] and i don't know about lirc packages [11:53] i installed mythbuntu and it came with all i needed [11:53] it says something about being a service and such but looks like it is stop now [11:53] yeah [11:53] ubuntu moved to upstart [11:54] you can also use service start and service stop [11:54] i'll never get used to it i think [11:54] the "old" or "classic" way is with init scripts [11:54] the nice thing about that is you never have to know the exact name, you can type /et init. myt and you're done most likely [11:55] that tab thing is awesome, one of the things that made me more impact coming from win [11:56] well, win has that too [11:56] you have to add the trailing slash though [11:56] please can you check if you have liblircclient0 installed? [11:56] i'm at work :) [11:56] no mythbuntu at work? hahahahaha [11:57] i will remove it too, if it is needed i will add later [11:57] if you apt-get install lirc it will install all dependencies needed [11:57] THAT is some linux > windows [11:57] ouch [11:58] im not removing that liblirc... thing [11:58] no "you need .net framework, please download it at www.microsoft.com/" [11:58] [www.microsoft.com] [11:58] which is neither clickable nor copy-pasteable [11:58] marking it for removal says it will also remove vlc, mplayer and hdhomerun [11:58] because it's in a dialog box [11:58] oh wow [11:59] i'm sure there's a switch to prevent that [11:59] lets start just deleting the lirc [11:59] you can't wait for it to work can you? :P [12:00] i'd say give it a rest and try with a fresh mythbuntu [12:00] lunch break now, later o/ [12:02] hehehe nope can wait, but will try the fresh install since i have very little faith in this working [12:02] cyl [13:30] I have mythbuntu 9.10 with mythtv 0.22 and recently started to find the audio echoing randomly when watching live tv and videos [13:31] It is like there are two audio streams playing, one in sync with the video, and the other out of sync by fractions of a second to a few seconds. [14:55] http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8257616&postcount=27 ,---can someone please explain step 3 for me [14:55] [www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - Hauppauge HVR 1600 remote control? [16:40] mcl0vin, you shouldnt need to install the sourcecode if you installed mythbuntu, the best way that I found was just to install lirc from the repos, and then configure it from there only because mythbuntu does a ok job of mapping the buttons for you [16:40] but then again I am using a modded xbox dvd reciever remote (for the old xbox) [16:49] dewman: well i tried that but its not working for me [16:50] hmm. does irw show anything? [16:51] no [16:51] dewman: when i do irw i get "file or folder not found" [16:52] should be in /usr/bin/irw [16:53] at least that is where its at for my install [16:53] its there [16:54] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10560 2009-10-17 03:07 /usr/bin/irw [16:55] yep. same thing I have [16:55] mcl0vin_mc@mc-desktop:~$ irw [16:55] connect: No such file or directory [16:55] so if you execute irw from /usr/bin does it complain? [16:55] let me try that [16:56] same thing [16:56] :( [16:59] weird [17:00] this is a pretty stock install right? [17:00] from cd? [17:00] yea [17:01] http://pastebin.com/nc7yU7cv [17:03] what happens if you try to start lirc? [17:03] i think its sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start [17:04] * Loading LIRC modules [17:04] ...done.

Verify your [17:04] * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [17:05] dewman: i think because i was following all these tutorials i screwed it up, how can i completely remove lirc the do a fresh install thru apt-get [17:08] mcl0vin, I "think" you should be able to do this. sudo apt-get --purge remove lirc [17:14] mcl0vin, check this post...

[20:01] REMOTE:DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" [20:01] drivers used etc. [20:02] driver = "" [20:02] ok, modules [20:02] ? [20:02] modules=devinput [20:02] what hardware are you using?

[20:04] Jay2k1, made the fresh install in new HD, but exactly same result [20:05] i have no clue where to point at [20:05] maybe to th trash bin :P [20:05] recsa: a quick look around the internets tells me youre not the first one with problems with lirc/HVR-1120 [20:06] but no one seems to have solved or have same problem than me [20:06] many people solved their problems just by setting up the hardware.conf and lirc.conf [20:07] but my problem seems deeper, looks like kernel is not "recognizing" my input device [20:07] if you see a url that worths a look, pls paste it [20:08] will do [20:08] thx [20:17] hmm too bad [20:17] tell me that :( [20:18] im tempted to start using the hammer [20:18] heh [20:18] i guess that won't make the kernel change its mind [20:18] you never know, dont understimate the power of a good hammer [20:18] lol [20:19] the sadest part is i have just disovered the streaming playback using Mythweb, its awesome [20:19] yes it is [20:19] getting sleepy on the couch watching a recording, just grab the laptop and continue watching in bed wirelessly [20:20] i can allow my childs to watch their preferred cartoons at their rooms [20:20] you know if media portal or WMC have similar features? [20:21] no idea [20:21] never really tried them [20:21] Hi I have two problems / questions: a) my box does not shutdown anymore, the mythwelcome log shows that whenever my idle wait is over it "receives" a schedule event and starts counting down again, anybody know of a fix and b) can I remotedly control the playlist in mythmusic, ie I have a laptop/web device and tell the backend (that is attached to my amp) to play certain songs ? thanks [20:21] ive been thinking about it, what relly matters is the goal not the means [20:22] true [20:22] would be a sad thing though if you were forced to use wmc instead of myth just because the ir is not recognised [20:23] yep, but having an IR is important [20:23] i agree [20:23] mmmmm i'm using AMD cpu, dont think that matters ... do it? [20:24] i doubt it [20:24] <- athlon 64 5000+ [20:26] aaarrrgg i forgot the card driver's CD at work, i was thinking on trying it on Windows just to be sure the IR part of the card is working correctly [20:26] can't you download it?
