| newz2000 | Hi, I'm setting up mythbuntu and having probs... when I go to watch TV it says "please wait" and then after a moment goes back to the menu | 03:11 |
|---|---|---|
| newz2000 | I'm not a linux newbie so I'm comfortable digging around, but googling isn't leading me anywhere | 03:12 |
| newz2000 | I have a pvr150 and I'm using schedule direct to get my listings | 03:12 |
| newz2000 | (and populating the database seems to work, I can look at the upcoming schedule) | 03:12 |
| newz2000 | Any tips on where I can look to troubleshoot? | 03:13 |
| tgm4883 | !logs | newz2000 | 03:16 |
| Zinn | newz2000: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 03:16 |
| rhpot1991 | newz2000: sounds like your card isn't setup correctly or you have permission problems | 03:16 |
| rhpot1991 | !blank% | newz2000 | 03:16 |
| Zinn | newz2000: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 03:16 |
| * newz2000 looks | 03:17 | |
| newz2000 | /var/lib/mythtv is owned root.root but everything inside is mythtv.mythtv, does that seem right? | 03:20 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, what do the logs say? | 03:24 |
| newz2000 | found an error | 03:25 |
| newz2000 | Error: unknown type, recording width was 0 | 03:25 |
| newz2000 | preceeding that was some messages about path names, but they looked informational | 03:26 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, I can't help you if you don't pastebin the whole log file | 03:26 |
| * tgm4883 goes back to arguing with devs | 03:27 | |
| newz2000 | ok, I'm happy to do that, thanks and just a min | 03:27 |
| newz2000 | http://pastebin.com/Nn3hJj3a | 03:28 |
| newz2000 | that is backend and frontend from just before I started to try and watch TV | 03:28 |
| newz2000 | I can send you the whole log next if you need it | 03:29 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, you have a PVR-150? | 03:30 |
| newz2000 | yes | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, you didn't set it up as a mpeg2 encoder card | 03:31 |
| newz2000 | oh | 03:31 |
| newz2000 | tgm4883: is that through backend setup? | 03:32 |
| tgm4883 | yep | 03:32 |
| newz2000 | ivtv mpeg-2 encoder card? | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | I believe so | 03:34 |
| * newz2000 tests | 03:34 | |
| tgm4883 | my pvr-150 is in a box for about a year | 03:34 |
| newz2000 | it works! | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, I know | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | newz2000, note, it could have worked 12 minutes earlier if you had posted the logs when I asked :) | 03:35 |
| tgm4883 | thats how important the logs are | 03:35 |
| newz2000 | Something funny is happening | 03:36 |
| newz2000 | or not happening maybe | 03:36 |
| newz2000 | I saw a tv picture for a moment, then the guide, now things feel frozen or slow | 03:36 |
| newz2000 | grrr | 03:37 |
| * newz2000 looks at the logs some more | 03:37 | |
| newz2000 | ok, looks like it's working now | 03:40 |
| newz2000 | ok, I'm down to two final problems | 03:46 |
| newz2000 | the picture is very jittery | 03:46 |
| newz2000 | !jitter% | 03:46 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about jitter% | 03:46 |
| newz2000 | not the menus, only while watching tv | 03:47 |
| newz2000 | and no sound | 03:47 |
| newz2000 | !sound% | 03:47 |
| Zinn | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Sound_Troubleshooting | 03:47 |
| newz2000 | yeah, sound works | 03:49 |
| newz2000 | So all of my channels seem to work, but they're kind of jittery | 03:56 |
| newz2000 | I'm watching the world cup and there's a constant buzzing for some reason | 03:57 |
| newz2000 | espn seems to be the only channel with that problem | 03:57 |
| newz2000 | oh, that may be the audience making that sound | 03:58 |
| newz2000 | if I just want my 4:3 shows to show full screen on a 16:9 set, what setting should I use? | 04:27 |
| newz2000 | (yes, I've read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio but it's no help, just a big explanation of the problem) | 04:28 |

| Infl8ableSoulm8 | So, just installed 64-bit mythbuntu on a sun fire x2100 server that I installed a Hauppauge HVR-1250 pci-e tuner card in, and the card doesn't appear to be recognized. lspci shows the card with the proper details, which is probably not any amazing feat, as a conexant card with the correct hauppauge model number. | 04:41 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | I'm currently running a synaptic update to see if that fixes anything, but is thre anything that anyone knows about this particular card that could shorten my google-time? | 04:42 |
| seventoes | anyone know if its possible to use a headphone-jack style IR blaster with mythtv? | 05:10 |
| newz2000 | next step is to see if I can talk to the digital cable box over firewire | 05:16 |
| newz2000 | !firewire% | 05:30 |

| anv | I have fresh 64-bit Mythbuntu install, installation went quite fine, but most of DVDs wont play even with proprietary driver, I tried to use mplayer instead of internal but maybe it were typed wrongly on those lines , I'm not sure should it be mplayer or /usr/bin/mplayer or something else | 07:17 |
| anv | 1.) how to get DVD work 2.) how to set mplayer as default player ? | 07:19 |
| Shadow__X | !dvd | 07:29 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about dvd | 07:29 |
| Shadow__X | anv: in the mythbuntu control center i think you have to enable dvd play back | 07:30 |
| Shadow__X | it has something to do with encryption keys and all that | 07:30 |
| anv | it plays some of them but most of DVDs wont play | 07:30 |
| anv | so it must be enabled | 07:31 |
| Shadow__X | go in mcc and check | 07:31 |
| Shadow__X | select w32 codecs and libdvdcss2 | 07:31 |
| anv | I have installed all possible codecs from synaptic | 07:31 |
| anv | enabled medibuntu also | 07:32 |
| Shadow__X | just humor me | 07:32 |
| anv | I tried several DVD drives same with all of them, but when I play those DVD discs which wont work under mythbuntu in my desktop they work | 07:33 |
| anv | !?! | 07:33 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about ?! | 07:33 |
| anv | how to set mplayer instead of Internal? | 07:34 |
| Shadow__X | in setup | 07:34 |
| anv | but I tried "mplayer" and "/usr/bin/mplayer" ..nothing | 07:35 |
| anv | I have installed mplayer from synaptic | 07:36 |
| Shadow__X | locate mplayer | 07:40 |
| anv | odd http://pastebin.com/MQMajE7Y | 07:42 |
| anv | it didn't show the /usr/bin entry even it exists | 07:44 |
| Shadow__X | sorry try which mplayer | 07:50 |
| anv | /usr/bin/mplayer | 07:55 |
| anv | when it asks the name of player in setup should I put it as above ? | 07:56 |
| anv | I think this was correct answer: "mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d" it plays films now, but in extern window though "f" key makes it fullscreen... I thinkmplayer should be the internal player insteadit seems to be broken | 08:11 |

| curtlee | Could someone help me make a udev rule to stop my pcHDTV5500 from changing between /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2 on every reboot? | 15:25 |
| qwebirc5169 | Greetings. I installed MythBuntu on a Zotac ION system recently and am enjoying it, but am having an issue with my remote. I believe that I "just" need to insert a new VENDOR id (x0105a) into the lirc_mceusb.c file, but am having no success getting the kernel updated. Anyone able to walk me through this? | 19:27 |
| azlon | is there an known issue with the miro plugin? it keeps giving me an error every time i open the mythbuntu coltrol center | 19:35 |
| bmidgley2 | is there an ubuntu->mythbuntu transition guide somewhere? | 21:02 |
| rhpot1991 | bmidgley2: sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop ? What are you trying to do? | 21:04 |
| bmidgley2 | go from ubuntu 10.04 to mythbuntu 10.04 without too much rebuilding of my "working" myth setup | 21:04 |
| bmidgley2 | plain ubuntu myth packages are too buggy | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | installing mythbuntu-desktop should handle most of it | 21:05 |
| bmidgley2 | it will add repos I guess? | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | what repos? auto builds? | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | the mythbuntu and ubuntu mythtv packages are exactly the same | 21:07 |
| bmidgley2 | weird, mythbuntu folks say the inserting-dvd-crashes-myth is fixed | 21:08 |
| bmidgley2 | but I don't see that | 21:08 |
| bmidgley2 | I wonder if they were using auto build repos | 21:08 |
| rhpot1991 | link to the bug? | 21:08 |
| bmidgley2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/549593 | 21:10 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #549593 in Mythbuntu: “mythfrontend.real crashed with SIGSEGV in QX11PixmapData::x11ConvertToDefaultDepth()” | 21:10 |
| qwebirc5169 | . | 21:18 |
| bmidgley2 | I will try the autobuilds | 21:20 |
| bmidgley2 | any reason I should be insterested in .24? | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991 | bbigras: it says right in the comments that its fixed in auto builds, you can test it on there | 21:21 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | Has anyone tried recently to build the v4l-dvb drivers for the current ubuntu kernel package? | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991 | bmidgley2: no, thats the latest mythtv development, so most likely you are very uninterested in it | 21:21 |
| bmidgley2 | definitely | 21:22 |
| seric | hi, I am unable to connect to my mythtv backend from a remote machine, I think I set everything correct but still fail to connect to the db(?) - is there any simple trick I am missing (remote frontend is on OS X) | 22:03 |
| seric | if I try to manualy connect to the remote DB, I get the following: | 22:05 |
| seric | seric@jupiter:~$ mysql5 -u mythtv -p -h 10.0.0.46 | 22:05 |
| seric | Enter password: | 22:05 |
| seric | ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.0.46' (61) | 22:05 |
| seric | altough I set mtyhtv user to host % | 22:05 |
| seric | seems I got the error, mysql was listening only on localhost, thanks anyway. | 22:23 |
