[01:25] 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] sorry Negotiation: then it seems to hang, but comes back to the initramfs prompt sometime later. [02:11] 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] I tried setting audio output device to ALSA:hdmi, speakers 5.1, upconvert, digital output device to default, and enabled dolby/dts [02:13] also turn off use internal volume controls [02:23] 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] Hi Im running mythbuntu 10.04 for a few months with out problems [05:22] now all of a sudden the frontend takes ages to load [05:23] and then crashs half the time [05:23] and its slow and unresponsive when it does work at all [05:23] after googleing i see im not the only one with this problem [05:23] i didnt see a solution though [05:23] is anyone aware of what im talking about and able to give some useful advice [06:11] oobe: did an upgrade occur that triggered the slowness? [06:16] probably i didnt notice exactly when cause i rarely shutdown the FE and restarted it [06:16] i use pm suspend [06:16] I'm having a slight problem, Mythtv plays wmv files but I don't get any audio, help please? [06:18] some wmv files use various codecs that ffmpeg is yet to support you can try using an alternate player [06:18] like mplayer or vlc [06:19] works in vlc just fine but I'm trying to get all my media in one place [06:19] stop using a closed format? [06:19] got it from a website [06:19] tell them to stop using a closed format :) (and don't hold your breath) [06:19] when I make videos I will explicityly NOT use wmv [06:21] yea i know how it is [06:21] i come accross video files made by the dumb and lazy windows loving fools too [06:22] 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] and windows makes the mistake of not releasing codec info [06:23] it would only help them in the long term [06:24] it would make they're shit more accepted [06:24] oobe: Please watch your language. [06:24] Zinn, please watch your automated responses [06:24] Hi oobe, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [06:26] oobe: you watch your non automated responses :) [06:26] ok haha [07:03] Does anyone know if diskless-server is going back into mcc at some stage? [16:42] fluvvell, only if one of the devs decides to port the plugin from the old MCC [16:42] the dev that was responsible for that got busy with school [16:49] tests [20:17] so i just noticed that newegg has refurbished hd homeruns for 89.00.... [20:21] nice [20:21] * tgm4883 is waiting for the HDPVR to get cheap [20:21] although is you need a tuner thats a great price [20:30] tgm4883: btw I solved that weird transparency problem by being a noob and reinstalling Ubuntu [20:30] dunno what caused it \o/ [20:34] dewman: HDHR is great, and thats a pretty good price [20:58] rhpot1991, thats what I was thinking..... [20:58] I might have to get one... [21:01] dewman: what kind of tuners do you have now? [21:09] rhpot1991, a frame grabber....ecck...http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 [21:09] [www.mythtv.org] Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i) - MythTV [21:10] dewman: yes, buy a HDHR immediately [21:10] rhpot1991, is the HDHR have analog at all? [21:10] tgm4883: does analog exist anywhere? [21:10] rhpot1991, a few places [21:10] comcast still does it [21:10] tgm4883: most cable stations moved their analog to clear QAM [21:11] so in theory you can pick that up until comcast turns it off [21:11] I just ignore it cause I know one day it will go away [21:11] tgm4883: my comcast gave out DTAs a while back [21:11] 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] tgm4883: its not a frame grabber [21:11] less load on my poor little system. [21:11] and it does multirec [21:12] rhpot1991, his card is a digital+analog card [21:12] digital cards just write the stream to the disk [21:12] ah, good catch [21:12] it's already compressed [21:12] so analog is all that matters when talking about frame grabbers and software encoding [21:12] well mutirec and the fact that the HDHR is a good device are still reason enough to get one IMO [21:13] =) [21:13] extra tuners is always a good thing [21:13] 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] 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] I have some funky hardware that won't boot anything beyond Karmic :( [22:00] yes [22:00] autobuilds :) [22:00] which one do I want, 0.23? [22:00] hmm [22:00] sec [22:01] yea my PC has 0.23.0+fixes24158 [22:01] what are you running on lucid? [22:01] so probably 0.23 :) [22:01] everything is on 0.23+fixes24158 atm [22:01] yea you can upgrade to 0.23.1 on karmic [22:02] only thing that is wonky on karmic is themes don't autobuild [22:02] and ATM, vdpau is broke [22:02] hehe, no VDPAU on said funky hardware [22:02] I'm installing it on a photo frame \o/ [22:08] tgm4883: hmm, 0.23.0++fixes25362-0ubuntu0++mythbuntu1 is what the ppa seems to give me [22:08] I don't think that works with my backend :( [22:11] Azelphur, why wouldn't it? [22:12] I seem to remember protocol errors, it's nearly done installing so we'll find out soon enough :p [22:12] any 0.23.0 version should be compatible with any other 0.23.0 version* [22:12] go little photo frame, go :p [22:12] *except for a few builds [22:12] (MythTV on a photo frame \o/) [22:13] what are you installing it on? [22:13] a digital photo frame [22:14] :D [22:23] Azelphur, which one?

[23:33] i have a feeling it will still be watchable even with the errors [23:38] i remember this software existing for CDs [23:41] quinten: maybe dd [23:43] Azelphur, already tried dd [23:44] i'm looking for something like cdparanoia [23:45] will it play in VLC?
