=== rhpot199` is now known as rhpot1991 [05:10] greetings [05:11] having a hell of a time getting alsa to play 5.1 to my receiver. [05:11] momelod: Please watch your language. [05:34] momelod: enabled passthrough, set your speaker configuration to 5.1 and not stereo? [05:35] have content with 5.1 in it? [06:08] rhpot1991, how to i enable passthrough [12:24] !help [12:24] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [12:24] !status [12:24] I am alive. [12:24] !about [12:24] I am an IRC bot written in perl, but my code is not yet released. I am named after Howard Zinn, you can learn more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn [12:27] what does heartbeat actually do ? [12:28] just what it says, it beats a heart [12:28] and checks for a pulse [12:28] if none found, it attempts to make corrective measures [12:39] would pacemaker ward of a DDOS ? [17:00] 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? [17:09] baggar11: make sure its not muted in alsamixer? [17:12] rhpot1991: it's not, the odd thing is the reboot fixes it [17:12] rhpot1991: nothing else that I do does anything, except the reboot [17:17] baggar11: has it always done this? [17:18] I had something similar before and it turned out to be something really obvious, but I can't recall what now [17:55] greetings channel [17:56] im trying to compile from src but im not clear what libs/devel packages i need to enable vdpau and opengl [17:57] 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.. [18:05] momelod: why are you compiling from source? [18:05] and you enable passthrough on the frontend, setup > general > 4th page [18:07] hi rhpot1991, once of the developers asked me to try a patch [18:08] i did enable passthrough but still had only 2ch audio [18:08] apparently the developer believes it is because alsa recognizes my soundcard as a usb device which does not support some type of caching [18:09] so the patch hardcodes a different caching method [18:13] momelod: http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/developer-cheatsheet [18:13] [www.mythbuntu.org] Developer Cheatsheet | Mythbuntu [18:14] and http://www.mythbuntu.org/development/packaging [18:14] [www.mythbuntu.org] Debian Packaging | Mythbuntu [18:17] does anyone have a list of the required libs for compiling vdpau? [18:40] momelod, libvdpau1 libvdpau-dev [18:43] thank you [18:46] I'm seeing a reference to restart "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils" to get s/pdif to work, does 10.04 have that even? [18:49] I don't have a frontend accessible right now to check... [19:08] baggar11, the only alsa related init script i see is /etc/init.d/alsa-mixer-save [19:09] i do have alsa-utils installed tho [19:10] momelod: thanks [19:10] momelod: know anyway to restart sound? [19:27] by passthrough u are referring to the option "separate digital output device" correct? [19:35] passing through to a receiver [19:42] baggar11, where is that option exactly? [19:46] settings --> general if I remember right [19:47] 3rd or 4th screen in, I'm not at a frontend to tell you for sure though [19:59] i dont see "passthrough" on that screen, but under advanced audio options i do see "separate digital output device" [20:09] momelod: I think it was renamed in 0.23, it was named passthrough on 0.22 though [20:13] i think im sol, it must be my receiver [20:13] 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] any recomendations? [20:15] onkyo 608 [20:15] assuming by cheap you mean cheapest good model [20:15] and not uter crap [20:16] i mean cheap as in $200 lol [20:16] eh, its worth the extra $150 [20:17] where u seeing it for $350? im seeing it for around $600 [20:18] should be 370 or so [20:18] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882120166&Tpk=onkyo%20608 [20:18] [www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - ONKYO TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver [20:18] you missed free giftcards from newegg yesterday too, coulda got +$50 for that [20:18] doh!

[22:02] meh that's not angry birds [22:02] all i play these days is angry birds [22:05] eh I'll buy just to support the cause [22:05] I forget what I gave for the first [22:06] seems they are getting hit hard the links to the game sites are timing out [22:11] * rhpot1991 buys [22:54] 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 :( [22:56] Homefront_Office: what is your budget? [22:57] 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 [23:00] 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. [23:01] Baggar this is running backend and frontends switching between 3 tv's [23:02] baggar11, No I like your set up LOL that will get me hiting that 1800 mark lol [23:03] Homefront_Office: I only paid 600$ for all that, also included a new case and power supply. :) [23:08] 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 [23:09] and a big OOPS ON THE HART of the system [23:12] sounds nice [23:13] 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] only have 2 frontends right now [23:15] I have mine running 3 frontends in one box with good remotes [23:16] 2 frontends are in vm [23:16] thats Y I think Im going for the I7 chip and 4Gram [23:17] Im just ordering the parts and she will get them when ups shows up LOL [23:18] M-Xmas gift to me OOps hunny You Were no to see them... [23:20] not bad, the i7 chip smokes [23:20] hyperthreading on it is much improved from the old p4 days too [23:22] sweet thanks [23:23] Homefront_Office: why are you running frontends in VMs? [23:23] thats prob why its running badly [23:23] 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 [23:24] then use lower power boxes elsewhere, like an nvidia ion [23:24] !frontend | Homefront_Office [23:24] Homefront_Office: Ion Boxes make a great frontend. http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2 [23:30] 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! [23:31] livingrooms [23:33] Homefront_Office: look at that link, ion boxes are pretty tiny [23:33] 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 [23:34] Zinn, nice link but I dont have anything or place them on or in... We all have flat screens on the walls [23:34] Hi Homefront_Office, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [23:34] no room behind the tv? [23:34] LOL on me [23:34] I will have to look! [23:35] most ion boxes you can mount to the back of the tv [23:35] sweet that would be nice... [23:35] Homefront_Office: do you plan on doing a multi-head setup with those multiple cards? [23:35] Yes [23:36] no [23:36] read steve [23:38] 2 cards are pvr -150 using the tv outs [23:38] pvr-150 doesn't have tv out [23:38] 350 does [23:38] sounds like a pain to setup, you should document your setup process [23:39] ok oops 350 then [23:39] I thought that 350 output support was dropped [23:39] superm1: mrand tgm4883 verify this ^ [23:39] that sounds about right [23:40] in MythTV I think [23:40] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/hauppauge_PVR-350#Doesn.27t [23:40] [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge PVR-350 - MythTV [23:40] yea says it doesn't work [23:40] rhpot1991, my vm are running XBMC and the livingroom is running Myth [23:41] tgm4883: thought so [23:41] Homefront_Office: where did you even find pvr-350s anymore [23:41] I thought they were extinct [23:42] 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] from that page [23:42] 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 [23:44] 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 [23:46] 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... :) [23:53] good night all heading home
