dewmandoes anyone know of scte65scan is in the ubuntu repos? I thought a while ago i saw it but now it is not listed.....Wondering if i need to manually install it...18:19
rhpot1991dewman: not that I'm aware of18:25
dewmanrhpot1991, thanks, my cable provider moved a bunch of channels around and I really hate manually modifying the channels, (pain in the you know what)18:26
rhpot1991looks like I have it in my home directory which means I pulled the source from somewhere18:26
rhpot1991dewman: thats why I ignored all those channels :)18:26
rhpot1991I knew one day I'd lose them so I decided to pretend they didn't exist and only use my HD locals on clear QAM18:27
dewmanrhpot1991, LOL yeah, i would but its all the HD channels, discovery,a-e,etc..18:27
rhpot1991dewman: over clear QAM?18:28
dewmanrhpot1991, yep. we get about 70 channels in the clear....but they added some new channels and moved some around.18:29
rhpot1991dewman: interesting, as far as I was aware I only get my 1-70 in the clear (SD) and then my locals in HD18:29
rhpot1991and all that music junk18:29
rhpot1991dewman: happen to be comcast?18:29
dewmanrhpot1991, no....Its called TVC cable, small cable company here in MI...18:30
rhpot1991ah ok18:30
rhpot1991that makes more sense then18:30
dewmanrhpot1991, yeah....mom and pop cable company...18:33
rhpot1991cool, wish I had one around here18:34
dewmanrhpot1991, I am thinking prob the best bet would be to delete the connections and start pretty much over..18:41
dewmanrhpot1991, yeah, charter is trying to move in and I hope the little cable company holds out. I cant stand charter..18:41
rhpot1991dewman: I never ended up using scte65scan actually, I just scanned my channels and then matched up the xml ids with my listings18:42
rhpot1991since I only have my 5 or 6 locals thats easier for me18:42
dewmanrhpot1991, o ok..that makes sense....well I will backup the database and then give it a whirl...18:42
dewmanrhpot1991, the one thing that always bugs me is all the audio channels, those always com over as duplicates and I havent even messed with them because its hard enough to get the tv channels to work correctly. =)18:43
rhpot1991dewman: ya ignore those, and the ppv ones too18:44
rhpot1991dewman: which tuner do you have?18:44
dewmano....you dont want to know.....Its a old framegrabber.... hehe...18:45

rhpot1991heh ok, was hoping it was a HDHR18:46
rhpot1991tools for that which are helpful, wont help much with your card though18:47
dewmanrhpot1991, no...I really need to just spend the money and get something a little better...18:54
dewmanbut my wife wont let me... =(18:54
rhpot1991dewman: I know the feeling, if my wife knew how much I spent on random parts I'd be trying to justify why we can't just spend $15 a month for the cable dvr19:30

Guest36603i will take basic photos and upload them20:10
rhpot1991ssh -X <ip of server>20:10
rhpot1991then you can launch mythtv-frontend from that and it will show up right on your screen20:10
Guest36603rhpot1991, how do i get my ip of server20:11
rhpot1991run sudo ifconfig on it20:11

Guest36603k20:15
Guest36603rhpot1991, does it matter what Mixer Device i have this set for?20:20
Guest36603I was told moving the Mixer Controls to PCM would help as well20:21
Guest36603?20:21
rhpot1991Guest36603: you want to make your audio device alsa:hdmi or alsa:iec1394 I believe20:22
rhpot1991and do the same for the passthrough if you are doing passthrough20:22
Guest36603not sure what passthrough is20:22
Guest36603just have a simple hdmi plugged from my cpu to my tele20:22
rhpot1991digital passthrough (surround sound)20:22
Guest36603ah no not for now. just trying to get some sound :)20:23
rhpot1991odds are you just have a setting wrong on this page and need to mess with things20:23
Guest36603my audio output is set to ALSA:hdmi20:23
Guest36603speakers config: is stero20:23
Guest36603Mixer device: ASLA: default20:23
Guest36603mixer controls: master20:23
Guest36603both Master and PCM vols are up20:23
rhpot1991try changing mixer device to something that indicates its hdmi20:24
rhpot1991I'm not looking at my box now so I'm just going off of memory20:24
Guest36603i greatly appreciate any help20:25
Guest36603for mixer device i get no such options that would be like hdmi20:25
rhpot1991it should be as easy as chooseing Alsa:hdmi and unmuting everything in alsamixer20:26
rhpot1991Guest36603: is this HDMI on your motherboard or a seperate video card?20:26
Guest36603dont think it has a video card20:28
