[00:08] <_Techie_> why would installing mythbuntu-desktop and then removing it cause so much trouble?
[00:26] <_Techie_> is there a good guide for adding a composite input to mythtv?
[03:23] <_Techie_> are there any guides on how to setup a framegrabber TV capture card for use with an analogue transmission?
[03:28] <tgm4883> _Techie_, framegrabber? yuch
[03:29] <tgm4883> _Techie_, i'd try to get a cheap pvr-150 off ebay if I were you
[03:30] <_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
[03:31] <tgm4883> Whats the issue?
[03:31] <_Techie_> everything
[03:31] <tgm4883> heh
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <_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
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <_Techie_> or so it leads me to believe
[03:37] <tgm4883> _Techie_, ok, do you have a frontend on your server?
[03:37] <tgm4883> just for testing
[03:37] <_Techie_> yes
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <_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
[03:40] <tgm4883> get to at least 0.23.1 if not 0.24
[03:41] <_Techie_> might as well get 0.24
[03:41] <_Techie_> got nothign to loos
[03:41] <_Techie_> loose*
[03:46] <_Techie_> thankyou tgm4883, you are the only person who has said anything helpful
[03:50] <tgm4883> yw
[03:55] <_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
[03:56] <_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
[04:03] <_Techie_> okay, everything should be installed and updated now
[04:04] <_Techie_> i guess i should go through setting things up in mythtv-setup now
[04:08] <_Techie_> im gonna rebuild my database
[04:08] <tgm4883> _Techie_, yep
[04:09] <_Techie_> if i can remember how
[04:14] <[R]> it looks like the python and perl bindings are missing from the latest autobuilds, anyone else see that?
[04:17] <_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
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <tgm4883> heh
[04:19] <tgm4883> you might want to do that
[04:19] <tgm4883> channel scanning might work better
[04:27] <_Techie_> okay, how would i go about scannign outside myth?
[04:29] <_Techie_> tgm4883, ya still there?
[04:32] <tgm4883> yea
[04:32] <tgm4883> playing mass effect 2
[04:39] <_Techie_> tgm4883, how might i be able to scan for channels outside myth?
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <_Techie_> it added a channel for every frequency it scanned, however they are all digital, so theres abotu 2k channels with nothing
[04:42] <tgm4883> and you are sure you receive analog channels?
[04:42] <_Techie_> yes
[04:42] <_Techie_> cant get DVS-T in the area
[04:43] <_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?
[04:44] <_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
[04:45] <_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
[04:46] <_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
[04:47] <tgm4883> yea i'd ask in #mythtv-users
[06:11] <_Techie_> tgm4883, ive made progress, ive managed to view mythtv across the network, but i stil dont have any proper channels tuned in
[07:17] <MoMo> so i just bought and installed a nvidia geforce GT 220 ... and installed 10.10  and updated the nvidia driver
[07:18] <MoMo> however still no audio
[08:13] <_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
[08:20] <MoMo> there is no place to plug a cable into on the card
[08:23] <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
[08:25] <MoMo> i've got no clue what its asking me to do?
[09:25] <MoMo> poke
[09:46] <MoMo> BLZbubba you around still?
[10:23] <MoMo> when i am watching tv .. it shows the sam program on top of each other
[10:23] <MoMo> like a double display
[14:42] <rhpot1991> _Techie_: wrong, the 220 does
[14:43] <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
[15:16] <BLZbubba> MoMo: sort of
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <BLZbubba> 99% likely that it will be fine, but you need to make sure you're not chasing the wrong problem
