| _Techie_ | why would installing mythbuntu-desktop and then removing it cause so much trouble? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| _Techie_ | is there a good guide for adding a composite input to mythtv? | 00:26 |
| _Techie_ | are there any guides on how to setup a framegrabber TV capture card for use with an analogue transmission? | 03:23 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, framegrabber? yuch | 03:28 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, i'd try to get a cheap pvr-150 off ebay if I were you | 03:29 |
| _Techie_ | tgm4883, i know, but its a case of workign with what i have untill then | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, it's a serious pain | 03:30 |
| _Techie_ | your telling me | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | I'm not sure if there is a good guide | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | Whats the issue? | 03:31 |
| _Techie_ | everything | 03:31 |
| tgm4883 | heh | 03:31 |
| tgm4883 | well that isn't a great answer | 03:32 |
| _Techie_ | the goal is to have a card in my server machine, so that i can watch tv on my pc in my room | 03:32 |
| tgm4883 | but about what I expected with a software encoder | 03:32 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, ok, do you have any part of it working? | 03:32 |
| tgm4883 | how fast is your server? | 03:32 |
| _Techie_ | no | 03:32 |
| _Techie_ | 2.2ghz Athlon X2 64 | 03:33 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 03:33 |
| _Techie_ | at the moment its already running xbmc with VDPAU for HD decoding | 03:33 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | Did you set it up in the mythtv-setup? | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | yes and no | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | yes i setup the tuner as a V4L device | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | also, there isn't a need for VDPAU with a software encoder | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | no i couldnt get any of it to work | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | no HD content | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, did you finish steps 2,3 and 4 in mythtv-setup? | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | to the best of my knowledge | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | however it seems that myth can scan for analogue signals | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | or so it leads me to believe | 03:36 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, ok, do you have a frontend on your server? | 03:37 |
| tgm4883 | just for testing | 03:37 |
| _Techie_ | yes | 03:37 |
| tgm4883 | what happens when you try to watch live tv | 03:38 |
| _Techie_ | there are no channels | 03:38 |
| _Techie_ | cant add channels if i cant scan analogue transmissions | 03:38 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 03:38 |
| _Techie_ | i wish i could use DVB-T, but we dont have that im my area | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | what version of mythtv | 03:39 |
| _Techie_ | whatever is in the ubuntu repo's for 10.04 | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, ah | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | ok, so first, you need to get up to date on mythtv | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | !updates | 03:39 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | get to at least 0.23.1 if not 0.24 | 03:40 |
| _Techie_ | might as well get 0.24 | 03:41 |
| _Techie_ | got nothign to loos | 03:41 |
| _Techie_ | loose* | 03:41 |
| _Techie_ | thankyou tgm4883, you are the only person who has said anything helpful | 03:46 |
| tgm4883 | yw | 03:50 |
| _Techie_ | if i couldnt get it working within one week, i was going to backup my entire server and rebuild it ontop of windows media center | 03:55 |
| _Techie_ | and thats not an easy task when everything is formatted in ext3 and 4 and already configured | 03:56 |
| tgm4883 | yea no reason to do that | 03:56 |
| _Techie_ | okay, everything should be installed and updated now | 04:03 |
| _Techie_ | i guess i should go through setting things up in mythtv-setup now | 04:04 |
| _Techie_ | im gonna rebuild my database | 04:08 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, yep | 04:08 |
| _Techie_ | if i can remember how | 04:09 |
| [R] | it looks like the python and perl bindings are missing from the latest autobuilds, anyone else see that? | 04:14 |
| _Techie_ | okay, running the config now | 04:17 |
| _Techie_ | tgm4883, up to the part where it would scan for channels, do i need to do this? | 04:17 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, yep | 04:17 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, you will probably need to scan for channels outside of mythtv then import a channels.conf file | 04:18 |
| tgm4883 | I haven't done that in a long time though, so you might want to look at the mythtv wiki for assistance | 04:18 |
| _Techie_ | oh snap | 04:18 |
| _Techie_ | just realised i dont have the aerial plugged in =P | 04:18 |
| tgm4883 | heh | 04:19 |
| tgm4883 | you might want to do that | 04:19 |
| tgm4883 | channel scanning might work better | 04:19 |
| _Techie_ | okay, how would i go about scannign outside myth? | 04:27 |
| _Techie_ | tgm4883, ya still there? | 04:29 |
| tgm4883 | yea | 04:32 |
| tgm4883 | playing mass effect 2 | 04:32 |
| _Techie_ | tgm4883, how might i be able to scan for channels outside myth? | 04:39 |
| tgm4883 | looking | 04:40 |
| tgm4883 | all i'm finding is scanning for digital channels though | 04:40 |
| tgm4883 | did you try scanning inside mythtv after hooking up your cable? | 04:40 |
| _Techie_ | yes | 04:40 |
| _Techie_ | did a full scan for everything | 04:40 |
| _Techie_ | it added a channel for every frequency it scanned, however they are all digital, so theres abotu 2k channels with nothing | 04:41 |
| tgm4883 | and you are sure you receive analog channels? | 04:42 |
| _Techie_ | yes | 04:42 |
| _Techie_ | cant get DVS-T in the area | 04:42 |
| _Techie_ | look quickly at this | 04:43 |
| _Techie_ | http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Components/Other-PCI-cards/auction-341429940.htm | 04:43 |
| Zinn | [www.trademe.co.nz] Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-150MCE LP for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand | 04:43 |
| _Techie_ | that will work with DVB-S, right? | 04:43 |
| tgm4883 | IDK | 04:43 |
| tgm4883 | DVB-S? | 04:43 |
| _Techie_ | sattelite | 04:43 |
| tgm4883 | DVB is digital? | 04:43 |
| _Techie_ | digital video broadcast - satellite | 04:44 |
| tgm4883 | right | 04:44 |
| tgm4883 | as in not analog? | 04:44 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 04:44 |
| _Techie_ | as in what myth scans for | 04:44 |
| _Techie_ | its $40 with postage | 04:44 |
| _Techie_ | if its as it seems to be, DVB-S with a loop out, then i can connect the sattelite dish to it and loop it back to the SKY reciever | 04:45 |
| tgm4883 | i'm confused as to whether you have analog or digital. In either case, you might try asking in #mythtv-users as they have more people in there and can likely answer your question about scanning | 04:45 |
| _Techie_ | at my location i can recieve analogue and digital via sat | 04:45 |
| _Techie_ | i already have an analogue card | 04:46 |
| _Techie_ | but if i can pick up a sat card, then i can go digital and things just work | 04:46 |
| tgm4883 | yea i'd ask in #mythtv-users | 04:47 |
| _Techie_ | tgm4883, ive made progress, ive managed to view mythtv across the network, but i stil dont have any proper channels tuned in | 06:11 |
| MoMo | so i just bought and installed a nvidia geforce GT 220 ... and installed 10.10 and updated the nvidia driver | 07:17 |
| MoMo | however still no audio | 07:18 |
| _Techie_ | MoMo, the Nvidia cards dont have inbuilt sound cards so you will need to run the cable from your motherboards spdif header to the card | 08:13 |
| MoMo | there is no place to plug a cable into on the card | 08:20 |
| MoMo | google is telling me to update alsa? | 08:23 |
| MoMo | http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210,_GT220,_or_GT240 | 08:23 |
| Zinn | [wiki.xbmc.org] HOW-TO set up HDMI audio on nVidia GeForce G210, GT220, or GT240 - XBMC | 08:23 |
| MoMo | i've got no clue what its asking me to do? | 08:25 |
| MoMo | poke | 09:25 |
| MoMo | BLZbubba you around still? | 09:46 |
| MoMo | when i am watching tv .. it shows the sam program on top of each other | 10:23 |
| MoMo | like a double display | 10:23 |
| rhpot1991 | _Techie_: wrong, the 220 does | 14:42 |
| rhpot1991 | MoMo: all you need to do is reconfigure sound, rescan your devices and pick the propper one | 14:43 |
| rhpot1991 | on my 220 it was something like Nvidia1:Device3 | 14:43 |
| BLZbubba | MoMo: sort of | 15:16 |
| BLZbubba | _Techie_: not true, at least with my 210 | 15:17 |
| BLZbubba | fwiw | 15:17 |
| BLZbubba | MoMo: are you positive that audio works on your HDMI? do you have another HDMI device to try, like a blu ray or cable box? | 15:17 |
| BLZbubba | test the same cable & input | 15:17 |
| BLZbubba | 99% likely that it will be fine, but you need to make sure you're not chasing the wrong problem | 15:18 |
