[01:25] <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.
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <stratagem_bot> I tried setting audio output device to ALSA:hdmi, speakers 5.1, upconvert, digital output device to default, and enabled dolby/dts
[02:13] <stratagem_bot> also turn off use internal volume controls
[02:23] <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?
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <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
[06:11] <mrand> oobe: did an upgrade occur that triggered the slowness?
[06:16] <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?
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <oobe> people use wmv cause it is easy and they make the mistake of thinking it is widely supported cause its part of windows
[06:23] <oobe> and windows makes the mistake of not releasing codec info
[06:23] <oobe> it would only help them in the long term
[06:24] <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.
[06:26] <Zinn> oobe: you watch your non automated responses :)
[06:26] <oobe> ok haha
[07:03] <fluvvell> Does anyone know if diskless-server is going back into mcc at some stage?
[16:42] <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
[16:49] <aurodionov> tests
[20:17] <dewman> so i just noticed that newegg has refurbished hd homeruns for 89.00....
[20:21] <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
[20:30] <Azelphur> tgm4883: btw I solved that weird transparency problem by being a noob and reinstalling Ubuntu
[20:30] <Azelphur> dunno what caused it \o/
[20:34] <rhpot1991> dewman: HDHR is great, and thats a pretty good price
[20:58] <dewman> rhpot1991, thats what I was thinking.....
[20:58] <dewman> I might have to get one...
[21:01] <rhpot1991> dewman: what kind of tuners do you have now?
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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"
[21:59] <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 :(
[22:00] <tgm4883> yes
[22:00] <tgm4883> autobuilds :)
[22:00] <Azelphur> which one do I want, 0.23?
[22:00] <tgm4883> hmm
[22:00] <tgm4883> sec
[22:01] <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
[22:02] <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/
[22:08] <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 :(
[22:11] <tgm4883> Azelphur, why wouldn't it?
[22:12] <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/)
[22:13] <tgm4883> what are you installing it on?
[22:13] <Azelphur> a digital photo frame
[22:14] <Azelphur> :D
[22:23] <tgm4883> Azelphur, which one?
[22:23] <Azelphur> the Joggler

[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

[23:33] <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
[23:38] <quinten> i remember this software existing for CDs
[23:41] <Azelphur> quinten: maybe dd
[23:43] <quinten> Azelphur, already tried dd
[23:44] <quinten> i'm looking for something like cdparanoia
[23:45] <Azelphur> will it play in VLC?
