[00:14] <miststlkr> I have also been trying to figure out how to get Empathy back in the box.  I updated and now I have the Humanity icon in the applet rather than using the messaging indicator
[00:14] <miststlkr> ooops... wrong window, sorry folks...
[00:35] <npaulin> tgm4883, libmyth-0.23 was the culprit.  thanks
[00:35] <tgm4883> npaulin, yw
[05:59] <formolQC> hi. what should I do if there is nothing in input connections during the backend setup. (and Video Sources, Schedules Direct lineup, what for, how can I find the one i need?!)
[06:02] <formolQC> oh, I see (I found how to do what I want, for now...)
[06:13] <formolQC> I scanned, and found, channel, in the backend. with the frontend, "watch tv" dont work
[06:30] <tgm4883> formolQC, pastebin your backend logs
[06:33] <formolQC> tgm4883, should it be in /var/log ? i dont see it there
[06:34] <tgm4883> formolQC, /var/log/mythtv
[06:34] <tgm4883> !logs
[06:34] <Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/   You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.

[06:38] <tgm4883> formolQC, what tuner do you have
[06:38] <tgm4883> 2010-11-15 01:12:31.032 NVR(/dev/video0): Unknown video codec.  Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles.  Assuming RTjpeg for now.
[06:39] <Shadow__X> i have to say the upgrade from .22 to .23 and now the upgrade from .23.1 to .24 has been pretty painless
[06:42] <formolQC> i'm sorry, I dont find the exact place to select RTjppeg
[06:44] <tgm4883> formolQC, what tuner do you have?
[06:45] <formolQC> 04:05.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
[06:47] <tgm4883> hmm
[06:47] <tgm4883> that looks like a software encoder :(
[06:47] <tgm4883> IMHO, those are completely worthless
[06:47] <tgm4883> they can give you quite a bit of trouble
[06:47] <formolQC> oh, I need a hardware-encoder tv tuner to run mythtv ?
[06:48] <tgm4883> no, you can use a software encoder, it's just a pain
[06:48] <tgm4883> plus, extra load on your CPU
[06:48] <tgm4883> what CPU do you have?
[06:49] <tgm4883> also, in the USA, you wouldn't be able to use that for much as lots of things have gone digital
[06:49] <formolQC> a cheap one, AMD Athlon(tm) Processor LE-1640
[06:50] <formolQC> 3gb of ram (+ 2 videocard for 3 inch monitors. my previous computer, double opteron single core, broke up...)
[06:50] <tgm4883> honestly, i'd probably go out and buy a hardware encoder card, PVR-150 works really well, although you would probably have to ebay it
[06:50] <tgm4883> if you still want to use the one you have, you need to set up a different codec in recording profiles I think
[06:50] <tgm4883> probably mpeg
[06:51] <formolQC> oh, I see. But I live in Québec. No digital here yet, at least, we sure got it but not as in USA.
[06:51] <tgm4883> but IDK much about software encoders, I try to stay far away
[06:51] <formolQC> PVR-150, interresting
[06:51] <Shadow__X> for more future proofing the hvr 2250 right
[06:52] <tgm4883> yea the 2250 is better, something with both an analog and digital tuner
[06:52] <tgm4883> just be sure you get one with a hardware encoder for the analog, alot of companies will skimp and go software encoder on the analog side
[06:53] <tgm4883> digital side - there is no hardware encoder, as the stream is already compressed
[06:53] <formolQC> hm
[06:54] <formolQC> pvr-150 is not expensive and PCI, it should work on my setup ? (cheap CPU and analog cable)
[08:07] <Rand0man> i have a mythtv problem. maybe someone here can help
[08:08] <Rand0man> Watch TV works but I cannot change channels. Changing the channel causes "Irrecoverable recorder error"
[12:40] <Blues-> Hey all .. just bought HVR-1700 (CX23885 chip), which works great on my desktop machine (ubuntu 10.10 332bit) but when i moved the card to my server (ubuntu 9.10 64bit) the channel scan fails .. any one have a clue what might be the difference between the 2 systems ?
[12:43] <Blues-> The error message from dvbscan is "WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!" ... uname -r => 2.6.31-22-server
[13:15] <mrand> Blues-: 10.10, in theory, could contain newer firmware and/or newer kernel level (Linux) drivers.
[16:02] <yggdrasil> yar
[16:06] <yggdrasil> ive got this twinhan remote control .. worked fine when i had a debian set up, seen that works good on 9.04 but not on lucid.. heres my pastebin : http://pastebin.com/qybTwuf4
[16:07] <yggdrasil> this just loads up like a kyboard, you push a button and it just like a usb keyboard, any one got any ideas.
[16:25] <yggdrasil> ahm
[16:25] <yggdrasil> dam workstation had a rough weekend
[19:34] <Chiwauwa> Hi, have any of you experienced that playback stops after 20 secs on all recordings, on various frontends (also the one combined with the backend). It is as if the amount of data sent to the client is fixed? All units are running 10.10 with latest autobuild of 0.24.
[19:38] <tgm4883> Chiwauwa, I haven't seen that
[19:38] <Chiwauwa> tgm4883, thanks.
[23:25] <formolQC> (hi)  I want to add folders with existing files (avi, mpg and mkv) to MythTv. Am I right if I try (and read about) Storage Groups ?
[23:26] <tgm4883> formolQC, yes
[23:28] <formolQC> hello tgm4883 (yes, I'm trying to make work mythtv anyway, despite my actual tv tuner I'll temporaly ignore. Time to make works the backend with a local or an exterior frontend will allow me to put money on the side to buy the pvr-150)
[23:32] <formolQC> doesn't sound good... http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_Management
[23:32] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Video Management - MythTV
[23:36] <tgm4883> formolQC, what doesn't sound good
[23:37] <tgm4883> that looks like a pre-storage groups page
[23:38] <formolQC> I don't hope to run script to add folder in Mythtv
[23:39] <tgm4883> you don't have to
[23:39] <tgm4883> you have a directory with your videos in it?
[23:39] <formolQC> ah, eternal hapiness!
[23:39] <formolQC> yes, many
[23:39] <tgm4883> add the directory to the videos storage group in mythtv-setup
[23:39] <tgm4883> add all of them
[23:39] <tgm4883> or if they are all under a single directory, add the top directory
[23:40] <formolQC> I did that
[23:40] <tgm4883> then fire up the frontend, go into mythvideo, then hit M and scan for changes
[23:40] <formolQC> ah, there is a scan for change
[23:42] <formolQC> I may be dumb, and would be ready to accept it if so, but I don't see "mythvideo" in the frontend
[23:48] <tgm4883> formolQC, Media Library > Watch Videos
[23:49] <formolQC> tgm4883, I'm here (on another screen), the only thing I sww is "No Files Found" with a "?" in a grey rectangle
[23:50] <formolQC> *see
[23:50] <tgm4883> formolQC, odd, screenshot?\

[23:55] <formolQC> and tgm4883 , here is my backend printscreen http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8318/screenshot1kd.png
[23:55] <Zinn> [img820.imageshack.us]
[23:55] <tgm4883> ok, so you are in mythvideo, but it didn't find any videos
[23:56] <tgm4883> what are the permissions on /media/MARX/Films/?
[23:57] <formolQC> strangly, some are -rw-r--r--  and few others are -rw-r--r--
[23:57] <formolQC> I mean -rwxrwxrwx
[23:58] <formolQC> and even some -rw-rw-rw-
[23:58] <tgm4883> formolQC, sorry, what is the permissions of the directories?
