| Crankygeek | Hi, I am in the middle of configuring a mythbuntu box, with a Hauppauge HD PVR. I am at the point where it has just populated the mythtvdatabase, does anyone here have some time to help me with the rest of the setup from this point forward? I am stuck at trying to figure out what channel changing scripts I may need.....any help would be greatly appreciated..... | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| Crankygeek | I have upgraded my video card to an nVidia 210 with hdmi output, I do not get any audio now, any ideas what I can do to get that fixed up? | 02:26 |
| joat | just getting in... | 02:26 |
| joat | arg!! sorry! | 02:27 |
| Crankygeek | I have upgraded my video card to an nVidia 210 with hdmi output, I do not get any audio now, any ideas what I can do to get that fixed up? | 02:28 |
| Shadow__X | Crankygeek: you have to select it as your audio source | 02:57 |
| Shadow__X | and stop being cranky that doesn't help anyone | 02:57 |
| Crankygeek | ok, I was told in another channel, that nVidia HDMI is not supported in ALSA yet, but It was reccomended that I buy this card because it works fine with Mythtv | 03:00 |
| Crankygeek | I tried selecting ALSA:HDMI | 03:01 |
| Crankygeek | No sound | 03:01 |
| Crankygeek | I also ran aplay -l and it only sees my Intel onboard sound card, not the nVidia | 03:02 |
| Shadow__X | did you install the drivers? | 03:05 |
| Shadow__X | and reboot? and check in the sound preferences if the card is listed | 03:05 |
| Shadow__X | other than checking in mythtv | 03:05 |
| Crankygeek | I am using the nVidia recommended drivers in mythbuntu | 03:05 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: does that card have its own sound on board, or is it a spdif jumper from the mobo? | 03:07 |
| Crankygeek | yes, it has it's own sound | 03:07 |
| Crankygeek | I tried it in a Windows machine and it worked fine :( | 03:08 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: I believe that is not supported by alsa in the current mythbuntu/ubuntu | 03:08 |
| rhpot1991 | but will be in the next release | 03:08 |
| Crankygeek | is there anything I can do to get it working now though? | 03:08 |
| rhpot1991 | you could download the RC and try it | 03:08 |
| rhpot1991 | or see if anyone has an upgraded alsa on a ppa | 03:08 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: really? i have heard of other people using nvidia hdmi quite often | 03:09 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: sound without a spdif jumper? | 03:09 |
| rhpot1991 | mine has a spdif jumper that I use, so you are really just using the onboard sound | 03:09 |
| Crankygeek | I was told it was a good card to get because it worked well with mythbuntu | 03:09 |
| Shadow__X | yeah without the spdif jumper unless, i was mistaken | 03:09 |
| rhpot1991 | from what I've heard from dan fry his card isn't supported but will be in the next release | 03:09 |
| rhpot1991 | might want to google for more specifics, but that is the way I understood the current state | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | I could be wrong | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: might want to ask whoever told you to get that card how they have their audio on it working | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | a forum post may point you in some better directions too | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | !forum | 03:10 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about forum | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | !forums | 03:10 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. | 03:10 |
| Crankygeek | That's funny, I bought a bunch of equipment that they said I needed, and now I can't get an answer out of them as I try setting it all up | 03:12 |
| rhpot1991 | who is they? | 03:12 |
| Crankygeek | A person in another channel | 03:13 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: well the sound issue isn't the end of the world | 03:13 |
| Crankygeek | true :) | 03:13 |
| rhpot1991 | if it doesn't work with the current alsa (verify I'm correct please, I may not be), then you can simply work around it for a few days by just using the onboard sound | 03:14 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: you can download the 10.10 RC and try that see if it helps | 03:14 |
| rhpot1991 | also 10.10 is out in 4 days | 03:14 |
| rhpot1991 | so thats not a bad move to start with that now anyways | 03:15 |
| rhpot1991 | maybe 5 depending on where you live | 03:15 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.mythbuntu.org/10.10/rc | 03:15 |
| rhpot1991 | gotta walk the dogs, dig some and I'll check back in a few | 03:16 |
| Crankygeek | ok | 03:16 |
| Crankygeek | SHould I stay away from Mythbuntu and go wirh a reg ubuntu install and add myth from the repositories? | 03:17 |
| Shadow__X | Crankygeek: it all depends on objective, level of comfort, and experience | 03:17 |
| Crankygeek | lol...I have none of any of those listed :) | 03:18 |
| Shadow__X | might want to stick with mythbuntu then but also rtm that is going to really help with mythtv | 03:18 |
| Crankygeek | I am a Windows guy, Ubuntu is a new hobby for me, so I am still learning | 03:18 |
| Crankygeek | I have looked over forums for the past 4 days, and it's tuff there is no definitive guides, you need to peice things together from a bunch of different ones and hope you have your terminology correct.... | 03:19 |
| Crankygeek | but I shall keep on reading | 03:20 |
| Crankygeek | This seems like just the start for me, I still have to figure out how channel changing works and what my best option for that is seeing I have a Directv setup at the house here | 03:21 |
| Shadow__X | Crankygeek: yeah i have heard some not so good things about directv setups | 03:22 |
| Shadow__X | afaik your best bet is lirc | 03:23 |
| Crankygeek | I was thinking the samething just try and get the ir blaster working with lirc seeing there are already scripts built for that | 03:23 |
| Shadow__X | yeah there should be | 03:24 |
| Crankygeek | but then I hear that serial to usb works better, but it's difficult to get working | 03:24 |
| Shadow__X | also depending on if its hd or not you might want to get an hdpvr so you can record hd | 03:24 |
| Crankygeek | I am using an HD PVR | 03:25 |
| Shadow__X | oh ok cool thats one step in the right direction that has ir blasters built in although, i am unsure if linux has support for them yet | 03:26 |
| Shadow__X | last time i check it did not | 03:26 |
| Crankygeek | Myth doesn't have it on their list of supported remotes, but I guess there are ways to get it working | 03:27 |
| Shadow__X | Crankygeek: you are checking here right http://www.mythtv.org/? | 03:28 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR | 03:28 |
| Shadow__X | !mythtv | 03:28 |
| Zinn | MythTV is a free Unix application which turns a computer with the necessary hardware into a network streaming digital video recorder, a digital multimedia home entertainment system, or Home Theater Personal Computer. It can be considered as a free and open source alternative to Tivo or Windows Media Center. | 03:28 |
| Shadow__X | check the wiki for currently supported things | 03:29 |
| Crankygeek | I am sure I looked at stuff there as well as google the hell out of mythtv and Directv | 03:30 |
| Zinn | Crankygeek: Please watch your language. | 03:30 |
| Crankygeek | Sorry | 03:30 |

| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HD-PVR - MythTV | 03:32 |
| Shadow__X | so i guess it finally does | 03:32 |
| Crankygeek | is that for a different version that is preinstalled in mythbuntu? | 03:40 |
| Crankygeek | or is that for Mythdora? | 03:41 |

| Crankygeek | I am having some issues with setting up an HD PVR with lirc. I have been using a webpage that was pointed out to me last night by Shadow_X, but I am running into some problems at step 9. here is the link http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HDPVR#Compile_Drivers_for_IR_Transmitter_Support | 15:36 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HD-PVR - MythTV | 15:36 |
| Crankygeek | That is what I have been following, but I am having a problem | 15:37 |
| Crankygeek | This is where I am stuck: Find and back up your existing LIRC modules lirc_dev.ko and lirc_zilog.ko. | 15:38 |
| Crankygeek | I don't seem to have a lirc_zilog.ko file, so the one that I compliled I put into the same location as the lirc_dev.ko file. | 15:40 |
| Crankygeek | so when I get onto step 12, I try to load the lirc_zilog using: sudo modprobe lirc_zilog, and I get a FATAL error stating that lirc_zilog can't be found | 15:41 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/500067 | 15:44 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #500067 in lirc (Ubuntu): âlirc_zilog not builtâ | 15:44 |
| rhpot1991 | I would just install the 10.10 RC since it fixes a few of the issues you have | 15:44 |
| Crankygeek | is that a complete re-install, or is there a way to upgrade from mythbuntu 10.04? | 15:45 |
| rhpot1991 | should be able to do sudo update-manager -d | 15:46 |
| Crankygeek | Off hand, do you know if 10.10 will support HDMI audio through the nVidia gt210 graphics cards? | 15:49 |
| rhpot1991 | Crankygeek: I believe so, I was the one telling you yesterday that I thought so but you should check to be sure | 15:50 |
