* ComradeHaz` tentatively pokes fluvvell00:38
fluvvell ComradeHaz`, you need to find a script that rebuilds the seek table. The earlier versions are a bit hazy but the one in ubuntu 10.04 works a treat. In fact its just mythcommflag, with  something like "mythcommflag --file 2036_20100616203000.mpg --rebuild  "  Be careful to be in the correct recording directory at the time00:39
ComradeHaz`Uh, this isn't on a recording. This is on DVD images, flv's etc00:40
ComradeHaz`not flv00:40
ComradeHaz`mp400:41
fluvvellmp4's ? how did you get them in?00:41
ComradeHaz`they are essentially downloads.00:41
fluvvellsorry, just read a earlier post...00:41
ComradeHaz`get_iplayer, if you want to fo a quick google.00:42
fluvvellfor the mpeg files that are recorded, there is a seek table produced so that when fast forwarding etc the player can line up at the first frame of an mpegged recording.00:42
fluvvellMaybe its similar for downloads of mp4s?00:43
fluvvellOr maybe you have to select a different player to play back your downloads.00:43
fluvvellvlc maybe?00:43
ComradeHaz`maybe. I'll try, but what do you mean by saying make sure I'm in the correct directory?00:43
fluvvellwell that was in relation to recordings00:44
ComradeHaz`Oh? I can select different players?00:44
fluvvellYep, in the mythtv setup, possibly the front end settings.00:44
fluvvellthere is the built in player, but I've used vlc as an alternative player. You can pass parameters to hide the menus etc.00:45
ComradeHaz`Right, I'll try tomrrow now. Someone's watching tv now00:45
fluvvellCheers, gotta run as well.00:45
ComradeHaz`OK, mind if I poke you if I get stuck?00:45
fluvvellbut its midday here so..  Oh thats fine. I'll be in and out.00:45
ComradeHaz`Sure, thanks.00:45
ComradeHaz`Heheh00:46

qwebirc18083I need to set a preset channel to 60 and when I do in input connections and launch live tv it is just static18:07
tgm4883is channel 60 just static?18:08
qwebirc18083yes18:08
tgm4883so... it's working then?18:08
qwebirc18083no there is no pictue18:09
tgm4883you just told me that channel 60 is static. Mythtv doesn't make a picture from nothing18:09
qwebirc18083the picture is just static no picture sorry18:10
qwebirc18083i preset the channel in the input connections to 6018:10
tgm4883so channel 60 is suppose to have a picture on it?18:10
qwebirc18083yes18:10
tgm4883what tuner?18:10
qwebirc18083wintv pvr-15018:11
tgm4883what input are you using?18:11
qwebirc18083tuner 118:11
tgm4883how do you have your cable hooked up in the back?18:11
tgm4883via coax, or composite?18:11
tgm4883or svideo18:11
qwebirc18083via coax18:11
tgm4883Did you scan for channels?18:12
qwebirc18083i tried but the scan failed18:12
tgm4883ok, any error messages?18:12
qwebirc18083i can create a channel 60 in the channel editor then it will work but, if a channel is cahngne it loses my signal again18:13
tgm4883do you have a cable box?18:13
qwebirc18083dish network box yes18:14
tgm4883ok, do you have a channel changing script?18:14
qwebirc18083channel scan said failed to find any channels18:14
tgm4883well yea, thats because your tuner will only see one channel18:15
tgm4883you need to change the channel on the directv box via ir blasting or serial cable18:15
qwebirc18083no18:15
tgm4883no?18:15
qwebirc18083no18:15
tgm4883why not?18:15
tgm4883that wasn't exactly a question18:16
qwebirc18083because my mythtv server is in the other room and I dont have a uhf blaster18:16
rhpot1991it doesn't automagically work18:16
tgm4883so.... you want to use magic then?18:16
rhpot1991you need to control the box somehow18:16
qwebirc18083no  I need to preset the channel to 60 in mythtv18:17
tgm4883qwebirc18083, ok, you do that in mythtv-setup18:17
tgm4883where you did it before18:17
qwebirc18083i did but, it doesn't work18:17
rhpot1991I'm pretty sure that is gonna default to 3 or 418:17
rhpot1991and you'd use it just like a VCR18:18
tgm4883rhpot1991, yea, I'm not sure why it's at 60 either18:18
tgm4883qwebirc18083, have you tried 3 or 4?18:18
rhpot1991it doesn't work like random cable18:18
tgm4883qwebirc18083, why 60?18:18
rhpot1991he needs to blast the receiver18:18
rhpot1991or usb it or something18:18
qwebirc18083dish network set it to 60 by default on the box and I cant change it to 4 or 318:18
tgm4883thats odd18:19
rhpot1991that doesn't sound right18:19
tgm4883qwebirc18083, so if you hook the coax up to a TV from the dish network box, you have to go to channel 60 to see anything?18:19
rhpot1991what model number receiver?18:19
qwebirc18083this has work before on the last version of mythtv because I have done before and it has worked18:20
qwebirc18083vip72218:20
rhpot1991qwebirc18083: so go into mythtv-setup and make sure you are using the coax input and its preset to channel 60?18:21
qwebirc18083i have done this several times and change to different channels still doesn't work18:22
qwebirc18083is there a way to just the frequency of the channel in mythtv18:23
rhpot1991qwebirc18083: so what channel is it starting at then?18:23
qwebirc18083the is starting on 7318:24
rhpot1991check your channels in mythtv-setup, I suspect that you may only have 73 in there18:25
qwebirc18083have all my channels from scheduledirect18:26
qwebirc18083well thank you need to go18:27
tgm4883<qwebirc18083> have all my channels from scheduledirect18:27
tgm4883theres your problem18:27
* tgm4883 sighs18:28
asscohow can i finetune my channels in mythtv? i've got a couple of channels with a "dotted-line"-type white line above th picture.18:39
rhpot1991tgm4883: no idea how thats gonna work without him blasting though19:00
tgm4883rhpot1991, it's not19:02
tgm4883assco, you can fine tune the channels in the channel editor (in mythtv-setup)19:04
tgm4883AFAIK, there isn't a way anymore to do it from livetv. If there was, it would probably be under the M key19:04
rhpot1991sounds like a lack of overscan issue19:20
