[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] _Techie_, framegrabber? yuch [03:29] _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] _Techie_, it's a serious pain [03:30] <_Techie_> your telling me [03:30] I'm not sure if there is a good guide [03:31] Whats the issue? [03:31] <_Techie_> everything [03:31] heh [03:32] 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] but about what I expected with a software encoder [03:32] _Techie_, ok, do you have any part of it working? [03:32] how fast is your server? [03:32] <_Techie_> no [03:33] <_Techie_> 2.2ghz Athlon X2 64 [03:33] ok [03:33] <_Techie_> at the moment its already running xbmc with VDPAU for HD decoding [03:34] ok [03:34] 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] 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] no HD content [03:35] _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] _Techie_, ok, do you have a frontend on your server? [03:37] just for testing [03:37] <_Techie_> yes [03:38] 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] ah [03:39] <_Techie_> i wish i could use DVB-T, but we dont have that im my area [03:39] what version of mythtv [03:39] <_Techie_> whatever is in the ubuntu repo's for 10.04 [03:39] _Techie_, ah [03:39] ok, so first, you need to get up to date on mythtv [03:39] !updates [03:39] The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos [03:40] 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] 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] 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] _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] _Techie_, yep [04:18] _Techie_, you will probably need to scan for channels outside of mythtv then import a channels.conf file [04:18] 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] heh [04:19] you might want to do that [04:19] 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] yea [04:32] playing mass effect 2 [04:39] <_Techie_> tgm4883, how might i be able to scan for channels outside myth? [04:40] looking [04:40] all i'm finding is scanning for digital channels though [04:40] 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] 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] [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] IDK [04:43] DVB-S? [04:43] <_Techie_> sattelite [04:43] DVB is digital? [04:44] <_Techie_> digital video broadcast - satellite [04:44] right [04:44] 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] 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] 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] so i just bought and installed a nvidia geforce GT 220 ... and installed 10.10 and updated the nvidia driver [07:18] 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] there is no place to plug a cable into on the card [08:23] google is telling me to update alsa? [08:23] http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210,_GT220,_or_GT240 [08:23] [wiki.xbmc.org] HOW-TO set up HDMI audio on nVidia GeForce G210, GT220, or GT240 - XBMC [08:25] i've got no clue what its asking me to do? [09:25] poke [09:46] BLZbubba you around still? [10:23] when i am watching tv .. it shows the sam program on top of each other [10:23] like a double display [14:42] _Techie_: wrong, the 220 does [14:43] MoMo: all you need to do is reconfigure sound, rescan your devices and pick the propper one [14:43] on my 220 it was something like Nvidia1:Device3 [15:16] MoMo: sort of [15:17] _Techie_: not true, at least with my 210 [15:17] fwiw [15:17] 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] test the same cable & input [15:18] 99% likely that it will be fine, but you need to make sure you're not chasing the wrong problem [17:20] hi everybody ,I want some guiding in a matter related to recording from tv tuner using mencoder [17:21] ho have anyone some time ? [17:24] silenceeeee.. [17:57] i want to make a script to work with mwncoder>An you help me? [17:58] no one?
