[00:19] <chemical-death> hi
[00:19] <chemical-death> did anyone get a remote control of haupauge dvb-t ministick working under 10.04?
[09:01] <Mildew> Hi all. I'm trying to set up my Dvico MCE remote. I have found loads of info (some of it conflicting it seems) but I've not found a simple definitive How-To on getting it working. MythTV is running well, I just wish to have the remote working. Thanks!
=== mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin
[13:33] <Mildew> looks like ive fixed my issues thanks anyway.
[19:47] <dewman> !wofie
[19:47] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about wofie
[19:49] <rhpot1991> I think wolfie is dead :(
[19:54] <dewman> owell.
[20:13] <atrus> is there any recommended way to use mythtv/mythbuntu with pulseaudio currently?
[21:53] <hads> atrus: Seems to be pretty bung.
[21:53] <atrus> hads: what?
[21:53] <hads> I'd say no from my experience but that's not with any authority.
[21:53] <hads> pulseaudio
[21:55]  * rhpot1991 dislikes pulseaudio greatly
[21:57] <hads> I don't mind it. It sucks trying to deal with myth though. The main issue with it is that you can't really run myth on a desktop installation sucessfully.
[22:00] <rhpot1991> hads: I have a 50% crapshoot of being able to listen to music on my laptop each boot with it
[22:00] <rhpot1991> this with the daemon tweaked to run at a very high priority
[22:01] <rhpot1991> I get a weird skipped around of audio, where it will play a segment skip back to it and replay it then skip back to real time, and it does that randomly
[22:08] <hads> rhpot1991: That's interesting, the reason I don tmind it is I've never had any issues with it, apart from trying to make myth and desktop play nice together on a friends system.
[22:33] <rhpot1991> hads: ya I'm not sure why, might just not play well with this hardware, but if I use alsa instead its fine (but then I lose my fancy buttons and such)
[22:36] <atrus> so... pulseaudio.
[22:36] <atrus> mythtv seems to work fine if it outputs alsa, and pulseaudio's alsa emulation catches it.
[22:36] <atrus> but mythtv keeps suspending pulseaudio, so... crap.
[22:37] <rhpot1991> atrus: google, there are ways of making it works
[22:37] <rhpot1991> IIRC you need to enable a flag for pulse
[22:37] <atrus> EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSEAUDIO used to work, but they took that out.
[22:38] <atrus> rhpot1991: i'm assuming that's what you're referring to?
[22:38] <rhpot1991> I think so
[22:38] <rhpot1991> atrus: #mythtv-users might be a better place to ask
[22:38] <atrus> yeah, i tried that.
[22:39] <atrus> everybody there just says pulseaudio is worthless and pointless, and tells me to remove it. but that's not an option. (shrug)
[22:39] <atrus> i think the answer is that i have to find a different PVR.
[22:45] <tgm4883> atrus, did you try the experimental pulseaudio setting for mythtv
[22:55] <atrus> tgm4883: EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSEAUDIO?
[22:55] <atrus> or something else?
[22:56] <hads> You can use the sound device Pulseaudio:default or something
[22:56] <hads> Works well for some, not for others.
[23:11] <tgm4883> atrus, yea that one
[23:12] <atrus> <atrus> EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSEAUDIO used to work, but they took that out.
[23:12] <atrus> hads: that one's worse. big lag, and it keeps resetting the volume to maximum. :/
[23:12] <tgm4883> ah
[23:13] <hads> atrus: Yeah, tried that on a friends box, didn't work their either
[23:13] <hads> As I said, I don't believe there is a way of making myth and a lucid desktop co-exist currently.
[23:14] <hads> FIne if it's a dedicated desktop or dedicated mythbox, but not both.
[23:16] <atrus> if i could just disable the pa-suspend, everything would be fine.
[23:17] <atrus> indeed, if i run it, and let it suspend on mythtv startup, and then restart pulseaudio to undo the suspension, it's perfect.
[23:17] <atrus> with the "ALSA:pulse" output configured, or the "ALSA:default" if default is set up to go to pulseaudio.
