| fluvvell | looking for some pointers with mythbuntu-diskless, I have dhcp and pxe booting working, but my nbd-server is not playing ball. I end up at Negotiating: on the client | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| fluvvell | sorry Negotiation: then it seems to hang, but comes back to the initramfs prompt sometime later. | 01:25 |
| stratagem_bot | I should be able to pass-thru digital audio from hdmi going to tv, and out to a speaker/amplifier system right? logitech Z-5500 | 02:11 |
| stratagem_bot | I tried setting audio output device to ALSA:hdmi, speakers 5.1, upconvert, digital output device to default, and enabled dolby/dts | 02:12 |
| stratagem_bot | also turn off use internal volume controls | 02:13 |
| stratagem_bot | I see hdmi as device 0,3 and mythfronend setup even lists alsa:digital, hdmi, and plughw:0,3 but none of them work? | 02:23 |
| oobe | Hi Im running mythbuntu 10.04 for a few months with out problems | 05:22 |
| oobe | now all of a sudden the frontend takes ages to load | 05:22 |
| oobe | and then crashs half the time | 05:23 |
| oobe | and its slow and unresponsive when it does work at all | 05:23 |
| oobe | after googleing i see im not the only one with this problem | 05:23 |
| oobe | i didnt see a solution though | 05:23 |
| oobe | is anyone aware of what im talking about and able to give some useful advice | 05:23 |
| mrand | oobe: did an upgrade occur that triggered the slowness? | 06:11 |
| oobe | probably i didnt notice exactly when cause i rarely shutdown the FE and restarted it | 06:16 |
| oobe | i use pm suspend | 06:16 |
| Chaorain | I'm having a slight problem, Mythtv plays wmv files but I don't get any audio, help please? | 06:16 |
| oobe | some wmv files use various codecs that ffmpeg is yet to support you can try using an alternate player | 06:18 |
| oobe | like mplayer or vlc | 06:18 |
| Chaorain | works in vlc just fine but I'm trying to get all my media in one place | 06:19 |
| rhpot1991 | stop using a closed format? | 06:19 |
| Chaorain | got it from a website | 06:19 |
| rhpot1991 | tell them to stop using a closed format :) (and don't hold your breath) | 06:19 |
| Chaorain | when I make videos I will explicityly NOT use wmv | 06:19 |
| oobe | yea i know how it is | 06:21 |
| oobe | i come accross video files made by the dumb and lazy windows loving fools too | 06:21 |
| oobe | people use wmv cause it is easy and they make the mistake of thinking it is widely supported cause its part of windows | 06:22 |
| oobe | and windows makes the mistake of not releasing codec info | 06:23 |
| oobe | it would only help them in the long term | 06:23 |
| oobe | it would make they're shit more accepted | 06:24 |
| Zinn | oobe: Please watch your language. | 06:24 |
| oobe | Zinn, please watch your automated responses | 06:24 |
| Zinn | Hi oobe, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 06:24 |
| Zinn | oobe: you watch your non automated responses :) | 06:26 |
| oobe | ok haha | 06:26 |
| fluvvell | Does anyone know if diskless-server is going back into mcc at some stage? | 07:03 |
| tgm4883 | fluvvell, only if one of the devs decides to port the plugin from the old MCC | 16:42 |
| tgm4883 | the dev that was responsible for that got busy with school | 16:42 |
| aurodionov | tests | 16:49 |
| dewman | so i just noticed that newegg has refurbished hd homeruns for 89.00.... | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | nice | 20:21 |
| * tgm4883 is waiting for the HDPVR to get cheap | 20:21 | |
| tgm4883 | although is you need a tuner thats a great price | 20:21 |
| Azelphur | tgm4883: btw I solved that weird transparency problem by being a noob and reinstalling Ubuntu | 20:30 |
| Azelphur | dunno what caused it \o/ | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: HDHR is great, and thats a pretty good price | 20:34 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, thats what I was thinking..... | 20:58 |
| dewman | I might have to get one... | 20:58 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: what kind of tuners do you have now? | 21:01 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, a frame grabber....ecck...http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 | 21:09 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i) - MythTV | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: yes, buy a HDHR immediately | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, is the HDHR have analog at all? | 21:10 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: does analog exist anywhere? | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, a few places | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | comcast still does it | 21:10 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: most cable stations moved their analog to clear QAM | 21:10 |
| rhpot1991 | so in theory you can pick that up until comcast turns it off | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | I just ignore it cause I know one day it will go away | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: my comcast gave out DTAs a while back | 21:11 |
| tgm4883 | I was just saying, if it doesn't, then the only benefit the HDHR has over his current card is it has a 2nd tuner | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: its not a frame grabber | 21:11 |
| dewman | less load on my poor little system. | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | and it does multirec | 21:11 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, his card is a digital+analog card | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | digital cards just write the stream to the disk | 21:12 |
| rhpot1991 | ah, good catch | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | it's already compressed | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | so analog is all that matters when talking about frame grabbers and software encoding | 21:12 |
| rhpot1991 | well mutirec and the fact that the HDHR is a good device are still reason enough to get one IMO | 21:12 |
| dewman | =) | 21:13 |
| rhpot1991 | extra tuners is always a good thing | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | Thats a big confusion when people switched over to digital, everyone was like, "all of the digital tuners suck, they don't have hardware encoding" | 21:13 |
| Azelphur | tgm4883: do you happen to know if there's a way of me getting the version of MythFrontend that's in Lucid, on Karmic? | 21:59 |
| Azelphur | I have some funky hardware that won't boot anything beyond Karmic :( | 21:59 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 22:00 |
| tgm4883 | autobuilds :) | 22:00 |
| Azelphur | which one do I want, 0.23? | 22:00 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 22:00 |
| tgm4883 | sec | 22:00 |
| Azelphur | yea my PC has 0.23.0+fixes24158 | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | what are you running on lucid? | 22:01 |
| Azelphur | so probably 0.23 :) | 22:01 |
| Azelphur | everything is on 0.23+fixes24158 atm | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | yea you can upgrade to 0.23.1 on karmic | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | only thing that is wonky on karmic is themes don't autobuild | 22:02 |
| tgm4883 | and ATM, vdpau is broke | 22:02 |
| Azelphur | hehe, no VDPAU on said funky hardware | 22:02 |
| Azelphur | I'm installing it on a photo frame \o/ | 22:02 |
| Azelphur | tgm4883: hmm, 0.23.0++fixes25362-0ubuntu0++mythbuntu1 is what the ppa seems to give me | 22:08 |
| Azelphur | I don't think that works with my backend :( | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | Azelphur, why wouldn't it? | 22:11 |
| Azelphur | I seem to remember protocol errors, it's nearly done installing so we'll find out soon enough :p | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | any 0.23.0 version should be compatible with any other 0.23.0 version* | 22:12 |
| Azelphur | go little photo frame, go :p | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | *except for a few builds | 22:12 |
| Azelphur | (MythTV on a photo frame \o/) | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | what are you installing it on? | 22:13 |
| Azelphur | a digital photo frame | 22:13 |
| Azelphur | :D | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | Azelphur, which one? | 22:23 |
| Azelphur | the Joggler | 22:23 |
| Azelphur | http://yourfamily.o2.co.uk/o2familyjoggler/ | 22:24 |
| Zinn | [yourfamily.o2.co.uk] O2 - O2 Joggler: touch-screen device to organise family life. | 22:24 |
| Azelphur | it's a calendar/photo frame/video playing/youtube type thing | 22:24 |
| tgm4883 | nice | 22:24 |
| Azelphur | I did it a while back but it messed up, been meaning to set it up again | 22:24 |
| Azelphur | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgwjPRBAFrU | 22:25 |
| Zinn | [www.youtube.com] YouTube - Joggler running mythtv with gesture support | 22:25 |
| Azelphur | here it is being a happy Joggler. | 22:25 |

| Azelphur | \o/ | 22:33 |
| Azelphur | clearly needs more MythTV | 22:33 |

| quinten | hi | 23:33 |
| quinten | i'm trying to make an iso of a dvd that has a scratch | 23:33 |
| quinten | any good tools to make a copy that ignores the scratches? | 23:33 |
| quinten | i have a feeling it will still be watchable even with the errors | 23:33 |
| quinten | i remember this software existing for CDs | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | quinten: maybe dd | 23:41 |
| quinten | Azelphur, already tried dd | 23:43 |
| quinten | i'm looking for something like cdparanoia | 23:44 |
| Azelphur | will it play in VLC? | 23:45 |
