[03:11] <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
[03:12] <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)
[03:13] <newz2000> Any tips on where I can look to troubleshoot?
[03:16] <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
[03:17]  * newz2000 looks
[03:20] <newz2000> /var/lib/mythtv is owned root.root but everything inside is mythtv.mythtv, does that seem right?
[03:24] <tgm4883> newz2000, what do the logs say?
[03:25] <newz2000> found an error
[03:25] <newz2000> Error: unknown type, recording width was 0
[03:26] <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
[03:27]  * tgm4883 goes back to arguing with devs
[03:27] <newz2000> ok, I'm happy to do that, thanks and just a min
[03:28] <newz2000> http://pastebin.com/Nn3hJj3a
[03:28] <newz2000> that is backend and frontend from just before I started to try and watch TV
[03:29] <newz2000> I can send you the whole log next if you need it
[03:30] <tgm4883> newz2000, you have a PVR-150?
[03:30] <newz2000> yes
[03:31] <tgm4883> newz2000, you didn't set it up as a mpeg2 encoder card
[03:31] <newz2000> oh
[03:32] <newz2000> tgm4883: is that through backend setup?
[03:32] <tgm4883> yep
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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
[03:37] <newz2000> grrr
[03:37]  * newz2000 looks at the logs some more
[03:40] <newz2000> ok, looks like it's working now
[03:46] <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%
[03:47] <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
[03:49] <newz2000> yeah, sound works
[03:56] <newz2000> So all of my channels seem to work, but they're kind of jittery
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <newz2000> oh, that may be the audience making that sound
[04:27] <newz2000> if I just want my 4:3 shows to show full screen on a 16:9 set, what setting should I use?
[04:28] <newz2000> (yes, I've read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio but it's no help, just a big explanation of the problem)

[04:41] <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.
[04:42] <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?
[05:10] <seventoes> anyone know if its possible to use a headphone-jack style IR blaster with mythtv?
[05:16] <newz2000> next step is to see if I can talk to the digital cable box over firewire
[05:30] <newz2000> !firewire%
[05:30] <Zinn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire
[07:17] <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
[07:19] <anv> 1.) how to get DVD work 2.) how to set mplayer as default player ?
[07:29] <Shadow__X> !dvd
[07:29] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about dvd
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <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
[07:32] <anv> enabled medibuntu also
[07:32] <Shadow__X> just humor me
[07:33] <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 ?!
[07:34] <anv> how to set mplayer instead of Internal?
[07:34] <Shadow__X> in setup
[07:35] <anv> but I tried "mplayer" and "/usr/bin/mplayer" ..nothing
[07:36] <anv> I have installed mplayer from synaptic
[07:40] <Shadow__X> locate mplayer
[07:42] <anv> odd http://pastebin.com/MQMajE7Y
[07:44] <anv> it didn't show the /usr/bin entry even it exists
[07:50] <Shadow__X> sorry try which mplayer
[07:55] <anv> /usr/bin/mplayer
[07:56] <anv> when it asks the name of player in setup should I put it as above ?
[08:11] <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
[15:25] <curtlee> Could someone help me make a udev rule to stop my pcHDTV5500 from changing between /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2 on every reboot?
[19:27] <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?
[19:35] <azlon> is there an known issue with the miro plugin? it keeps giving me an error every time i open the mythbuntu coltrol center
[21:02] <bmidgley2> is there an ubuntu->mythbuntu transition guide somewhere?
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <bmidgley2> plain ubuntu myth packages are too buggy
[21:05] <rhpot1991> installing mythbuntu-desktop should handle most of it
[21:06] <bmidgley2> it will add repos I guess?
[21:06] <rhpot1991> what repos?  auto builds?
[21:07] <rhpot1991> the mythbuntu and ubuntu mythtv packages are exactly the same
[21:08] <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?
[21:10] <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()”
[21:18] <qwebirc5169> .
[21:20] <bmidgley2> I will try the autobuilds
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <bmidgley2> definitely
[22:03] <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)
[22:05] <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 %
[22:23] <seric> seems I got the error, mysql was listening only on localhost, thanks anyway.
