fbnts[mpeg2video @ 0x19df960]get_buffer() failed (stride changed)01:31
fbntsI have searched and it appears that its a know bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/566003) and that its fixed in trunk 0.23 however how do I get this update to my frontend?01:31

recsaHi14:12
recsaone "easy" question, wasnt irw supposed to give something like this (0000000000010067 00 ArrowUp NOVA-T500) as output?14:13
recsamine, on same key press, gives ]]B14:14
recsai wouldnt worry about it if all buttons were working, but for any reason some of the buttons in my remote doesnt work (OK, Play, Rewind, ....) does nothing, while others (arrows, numbers, volume, ...) worl perfectly14:16
recsaany hint? thx a lot14:16
recsarebooting, brb14:27
recsaback and solved14:33
recsaMCC doesnt correctly create the hardware.conf for NOVA T-50014:34
Jay2k1hola14:37
Jay2k1so you got it working? :)14:38
mrandrecsa: is it a problem with the source lirc files, or is it MCC, or is it mythbuntu-lirc-generator?14:38
recsayeah, its working now14:42
recsamrand, i think its the myth lirc generator, from MCC you choose your receiver and it changes your conf files so i guess MCC is responsible for that14:44
recsaany way im happy now, after 2 cards and more than a week i got my remote 100% operational XDDD14:45
recsagood thing is my 2 cards use same remote model, so now i have 2 remotes for replacement once childs discover the existence of a new remote in the house14:46
Jay2k1haha14:47
Jay2k1i'm happy for you, after all that struggling you finally won :)14:47
recsai cheated, but who cares?14:47
Jay2k1so you don't need my lirc confs anymore?14:47
recsanope thanks, its working14:48
Jay2k1well, you didn't give up before you really tried hard, so i don't know if that's to be considered cheating14:48
recsai mean cheating = buying a new card proven to work hahahha14:48
recsanow i can focus on the real challenge14:49
recsasetup my video sources, there should be an university grade just for understanding the backend config14:49
Jay2k1and i mean you have spent quite some time and effort in trying to make the first card work14:49
Jay2k1so it's ok :P14:49
recsayep, and pretty happy for that Jay14:49
Jay2k1:)14:50
recsaand i really appreciate all you have help me14:50
Jay2k1yeah, video sources and connections are a bit hard to understand at the beginning14:50
recsai think the names are not clear, a more precise naming would help novices like me14:51
recsaBTW is there a way to avoid myth doing some kind of fine tuning after every channel change? it takes like 1 to 3 seconds to lock every channel14:52
recsait shoudl be instant, or am i wrong?14:53
Jay2k1tbh i've never seen instant channel change on digital TV (dvb that is)14:53
recsamy STB does it, why myth cant?14:54
Jay2k1perhaps it's because myth buffers14:54
Jay2k1you know, live tv is not really "live tv"14:54
Jay2k1it's a recording you instantly start to watch, technically14:55
recsano instant like the old analog tv where it took just miliseconds, but my STB changes channel in less than a second, while myth can do in 2 or 314:55
Jay2k1but i'm not sure if it just buffering a bit or if it's really the actual tuning process14:55
recsaaaahh the buffering14:55
recsammm well, i have bigger problems right now, step by step14:56
Jay2k1my guess is that when you change the channel, myth stops recording on the previous channel, tunes to the new one, starts recording, and 1-2 seconds later plays back that recording14:56
recsamaybe, still got to understand those numbers changing before playback starts (LMS ... or something)ç14:57
Jay2k1no idea about that stuff :)14:57
recsai think DVB-T source is all clear now14:58
recsanow i hae to undertand how to make the cable tv to work14:59
recsaim considering connecting the STB composite output to my HVR-1100 composite input but looks liek its hard to work with composite sources15:00
recsa(hard for me)15:00
recsaso im considering to use an analog output from my STB forced to a particular channel and plug it to the HVR-1100 analog input15:01
recsabut maybe that way i will loose the EIT data15:01
recsagonna ask uncle google for a Cable STB to mythtv connections setup15:02

mcl0vingood morning everyone16:08
mcl0vini have a quick question16:08
mcl0vini have mounted a new 80GB HDD to my mythbuntu at '/storage', i would like to use it for LiveTV, and Recordings...i don't know how to do that! can someone please show me how?16:10
rhpot1991mcl0vin: you need to set it up as a storage group, in mythtv-setup16:18
mcl0vinrhpot1991: so i just mkdir /storage/livetv and put that path instead of /var/lib/mythtv/livetv for example16:19
rhpot1991mcl0vin: yep16:20
Keithamus2Has anyone got surround sound working in Mythbuntu? I'm suing nvidia chipset with 3 3.5mm jacks.17:21
=== Keithamus2 is now known as Keithamus
Jay2k1well, yes but using spdif17:30
rhpot1991same here with spdif and/or hdmi17:39
Keithamusdamn. 3 jacks seems to be a pain17:44
ZinnKeithamus: Please watch your language.17:44
Keithamusoop sorry17:44
Keithamuswould either of you recommend your speakers to me then?17:46
Jay2k1it's rather about the receiver/amp than speakers17:49
Jay2k1it needs to have the ability to decode digital sound, like dolby digital or dts17:49
Keithamusk17:56
Keithamuswell I guess I'm off to work this stuff out17:56
Keithamuscheers17:56
Keithamuscya17:56

recsacyl18:22
mcl0vinfrom what i read cx18  was fixed in 2.6.3218:41
JT|workyou guys wouldn't happen to know if a hauppauge PVR-150 remote control works with a homebrew serial receiver?19:34
JT|workI know that the infrared receiver with that card can only decode signals from it's own remote, I wonder if it works the other way around too19:34
st8ofmi9dDoes anyone have problems with their MythTV frontends overheating? I've been having trouble with a Dell Zino but I just noticed the same problem when using one of my laptops. At least I think it's overheating. After some time the video gets very choppy and seems to only get better after I let the machine cool off.21:57
JT|workI run a big machine that's a frontend and backend, can't help you there buddy22:12
mrandst8ofmi9d: it should not be possible to overheat a machine that is not overclocked, assuming the fans and heatsinks are not completely covered in dust.  You can probably double check that by installing some temperature monitors.  Usually machines will either slow down or shut down if they overheat.  Check the frontend logs and see what it says when the video gets choppy.22:35
st8ofmi9dmrand: Thank you. I was disconnected so I only saw your one message. Maybe overheating isn't the right word. Maybe it's just getting hot enough to slow down the CPU which causes the playback to get choppy.23:08
st8ofmi9dIs the log that I should look at /var/log/mythtv/23:10
mrandst8ofmi9d: yes, /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log23:42
