| momelod | having a hell of a time getting alsa to play 5.1 to my receiver. | 05:11 |
| Zinn | momelod: Please watch your language. | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | momelod: enabled passthrough, set your speaker configuration to 5.1 and not stereo? | 05:34 |
| rhpot1991 | have content with 5.1 in it? | 05:35 |
| momelod | rhpot1991, how to i enable passthrough | 06:08 |

| robin48gx | what does heartbeat actually do ? | 12:27 |
| patdk-lap | just what it says, it beats a heart | 12:28 |
| patdk-lap | and checks for a pulse | 12:28 |
| patdk-lap | if none found, it attempts to make corrective measures | 12:28 |
| robin48gx | would pacemaker ward of a DDOS ? | 12:39 |
| baggar11 | anyone familiar with s/pdif? seems that from a cold startup, can't play anything to my reciever, if I "only" reboot, I then can. what's the deal? | 17:00 |
| rhpot1991 | baggar11: make sure its not muted in alsamixer? | 17:09 |
| baggar11 | rhpot1991: it's not, the odd thing is the reboot fixes it | 17:12 |
| baggar11 | rhpot1991: nothing else that I do does anything, except the reboot | 17:12 |
| rhpot1991 | baggar11: has it always done this? | 17:17 |
| rhpot1991 | I had something similar before and it turned out to be something really obvious, but I can't recall what now | 17:18 |
| momelod | greetings channel | 17:55 |
| momelod | im trying to compile from src but im not clear what libs/devel packages i need to enable vdpau and opengl | 17:56 |
| momelod | i did an apt-get source of mythtv-0.24.0+fixes.20101213.cfd7b78 to grab the source code. basically im trying to test patch that hasn't reached the repos yet.. | 17:57 |
| rhpot1991 | momelod: why are you compiling from source? | 18:05 |
| rhpot1991 | and you enable passthrough on the frontend, setup > general > 4th page | 18:05 |
| momelod | hi rhpot1991, once of the developers asked me to try a patch | 18:07 |
| momelod | i did enable passthrough but still had only 2ch audio | 18:08 |
| momelod | apparently the developer believes it is because alsa recognizes my soundcard as a usb device which does not support some type of caching | 18:08 |
| momelod | so the patch hardcodes a different caching method | 18:09 |

| momelod | does anyone have a list of the required libs for compiling vdpau? | 18:17 |
| gregL | momelod, libvdpau1 libvdpau-dev | 18:40 |
| momelod | thank you | 18:43 |
| baggar11 | I'm seeing a reference to restart "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils" to get s/pdif to work, does 10.04 have that even? | 18:46 |
| baggar11 | I don't have a frontend accessible right now to check... | 18:49 |
| momelod | baggar11, the only alsa related init script i see is /etc/init.d/alsa-mixer-save | 19:08 |
| momelod | i do have alsa-utils installed tho | 19:09 |
| baggar11 | momelod: thanks | 19:10 |
| baggar11 | momelod: know anyway to restart sound? | 19:10 |
| momelod | by passthrough u are referring to the option "separate digital output device" correct? | 19:27 |
| baggar11 | passing through to a receiver | 19:35 |
| momelod | baggar11, where is that option exactly? | 19:42 |
| baggar11 | settings --> general if I remember right | 19:46 |
| baggar11 | 3rd or 4th screen in, I'm not at a frontend to tell you for sure though | 19:47 |
| momelod | i dont see "passthrough" on that screen, but under advanced audio options i do see "separate digital output device" | 19:59 |
| baggar11 | momelod: I think it was renamed in 0.23, it was named passthrough on 0.22 though | 20:09 |
| momelod | i think im sol, it must be my receiver | 20:13 |
| momelod | i need a cheap receiver that can take my single hdmi-out from the pc into the reciever, decode the audio and send the video to the tv. | 20:13 |
| momelod | any recomendations? | 20:13 |
| rhpot1991 | onkyo 608 | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | assuming by cheap you mean cheapest good model | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | and not uter crap | 20:15 |
| momelod | i mean cheap as in $200 lol | 20:16 |
| rhpot1991 | eh, its worth the extra $150 | 20:16 |
| momelod | where u seeing it for $350? im seeing it for around $600 | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | should be 370 or so | 20:18 |

| rhpot1991 | momelod: doesn't do video upconverting I don't think | 20:21 |
| * rhpot1991 looks for a way to compare | 20:21 | |
| momelod | rhpot1991, in the specs it says video upconversion=1080p | 20:26 |

| Homefront_Office | Looking for a nice board & Processor for a upgrade to my media cent... Thoughts please... I all ready dumped my budget on 6-sat drives vidieo cards and etc.. and this thing is slugish :( | 22:54 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: what is your budget? | 22:56 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, 0.000 LOL will be starting a flamer with the wife 350.00 this will be in my living room so not to nosy | 22:57 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: hehe, well I just grabbed a gigabyte ga-p55-usb3 with core i7 870 and 8GB ram. you could probably grab a slower processor and less memory and fit into 350$ though. | 23:00 |
| Homefront_Office | Baggar this is running backend and frontends switching between 3 tv's | 23:01 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, No I like your set up LOL that will get me hiting that 1800 mark lol | 23:02 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: I only paid 600$ for all that, also included a new case and power supply. :) | 23:03 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, nice job! I got 900 in side, 6 2-TB - Movies-Miusic / 1 -TB for os and pohto's / 2 - HDhomerun (4 tunner cards) 7.1 suround 6 -HDMI outputs | 23:08 |
| Homefront_Office | and a big OOPS ON THE HART of the system | 23:09 |
| baggar11 | sounds nice | 23:12 |
| baggar11 | I'm actually not even using that system for a frontend either, it's my backend storage server with a virtual machine of mythtv-backend on it | 23:13 |
| baggar11 | only have 2 frontends right now | 23:13 |
| Homefront_Office | I have mine running 3 frontends in one box with good remotes | 23:15 |
| Homefront_Office | 2 frontends are in vm | 23:16 |
| Homefront_Office | thats Y I think Im going for the I7 chip and 4Gram | 23:16 |
| Homefront_Office | Im just ordering the parts and she will get them when ups shows up LOL | 23:17 |
| Homefront_Office | M-Xmas gift to me OOps hunny You Were no to see them... | 23:18 |
| baggar11 | not bad, the i7 chip smokes | 23:20 |
| baggar11 | hyperthreading on it is much improved from the old p4 days too | 23:20 |
| Homefront_Office | sweet thanks | 23:22 |
| rhpot1991 | Homefront_Office: why are you running frontends in VMs? | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | thats prob why its running badly | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | the most common setup for what it sounds like you want to do, would be to do a powerful computer for your master backend/frontend | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | then use lower power boxes elsewhere, like an nvidia ion | 23:24 |
| rhpot1991 | !frontend | Homefront_Office | 23:24 |
| Zinn | Homefront_Office: Ion Boxes make a great frontend. http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2 | 23:24 |
| Homefront_Office | rhpot1991, 1 reason I dumped my cash into storage and and HDMI cards not thinking this out or asking question in here.. and the other reason is I have no boxes in bedrooms and lingrooms once everthing is up... Nice and clean! | 23:30 |
| Homefront_Office | livingrooms | 23:31 |
| rhpot1991 | Homefront_Office: look at that link, ion boxes are pretty tiny | 23:33 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not sure if you can really offload video to multiple GPUs so having more than one card in a system may be a waste | 23:33 |
| Homefront_Office | Zinn, nice link but I dont have anything or place them on or in... We all have flat screens on the walls | 23:34 |
| Zinn | Hi Homefront_Office, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 23:34 |
| rhpot1991 | no room behind the tv? | 23:34 |
| Homefront_Office | LOL on me | 23:34 |
| Homefront_Office | I will have to look! | 23:34 |
| rhpot1991 | most ion boxes you can mount to the back of the tv | 23:35 |
| Homefront_Office | sweet that would be nice... | 23:35 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: do you plan on doing a multi-head setup with those multiple cards? | 23:35 |
| Homefront_Office | Yes | 23:35 |
| Homefront_Office | no | 23:36 |
| Homefront_Office | read steve | 23:36 |
| Homefront_Office | 2 cards are pvr -150 using the tv outs | 23:38 |
| rhpot1991 | pvr-150 doesn't have tv out | 23:38 |
| rhpot1991 | 350 does | 23:38 |
| baggar11 | sounds like a pain to setup, you should document your setup process | 23:38 |
| Homefront_Office | ok oops 350 then | 23:39 |
| rhpot1991 | I thought that 350 output support was dropped | 23:39 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: mrand tgm4883 verify this ^ | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | that sounds about right | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | in MythTV I think | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/hauppauge_PVR-350#Doesn.27t | 23:40 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge PVR-350 - MythTV | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | yea says it doesn't work | 23:40 |
| Homefront_Office | rhpot1991, my vm are running XBMC and the livingroom is running Myth | 23:40 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: thought so | 23:41 |
| rhpot1991 | Homefront_Office: where did you even find pvr-350s anymore | 23:41 |
| rhpot1991 | I thought they were extinct | 23:41 |
| tgm4883 | Warning: The Hauppauge PVR-350 mpeg2 hardware decoder (playback) is no longer supported since version 0.23 ( see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/22845 ). With MythTV 0.23 and later, the ivtv Xorg/Xv driver is required for TV output using this card. | 23:42 |
| tgm4883 | from that page | 23:42 |
| Homefront_Office | rhpot1991, tgm4883 I have had them cards for yrs just never used them so that y im running them in vm under winshit and XBMC with the main frontend running Myth | 23:42 |
| Homefront_Office | I only took me a mo. of nights and weekeds to get this stuff working but I did and Now can say it will work lol this way anyhow lol | 23:44 |
| Homefront_Office | but you need loots of power to support this setup... I would not recommend this to any one... I started it and was going to find a way witch I did... :) | 23:46 |
| Homefront_Office | good night all heading home | 23:53 |
