[01:34] <Seeker`> Hmm, mythtv doesn't want to play with advert detection any longer :(
[01:34] <Seeker`> It claims to have run on a recording and found 2 adverts (there should be at least 3), and it won't skip any during playback. It has been doing this since I upgraded to 0.24
[01:47] <Seeker`> any suggestions?
[02:18] <Shadow__X> Seeker`: do you press z to skip the commercials
[02:18] <Shadow__X> or have commercicial notify on
[02:52] <Seeker`> Shadow__X: I have it set to notify me
[02:52] <Seeker`> and i don't get any notifications
[02:53] <Seeker`> if i press z on recordings that should have been commflagged, it just skips to the end
[02:53] <Shadow__X> Seeker`: in the video itself press e to edit it then z to show the cutlist
[03:04] <Seeker`> Shadow__X: ah, the cuts are there
[03:04] <Seeker`> it just seems to be doing an absolutely appaling job of actually finding them
[03:04] <Seeker`> like 1 in 4 or worse
[03:07] <Seeker`> hmm, and even then it doesn't manage to avoid putting them int he middle of programs :/
[03:09] <Seeker`> I know it isn't meant to be great on UK TV, but I'm pretty sure it used to be bettter than this
[03:10] <Shadow__X> i cant comment i am in what you would call the colonies
[03:11] <Shadow__X> it works well here but there are others you can ask
[03:12] <Shadow__X> the other thing too is that is it bad on all recordings or just some of them>?
[03:12] <Shadow__X> its not perfect and also there are numerous factors
[03:12] <Seeker`> some are better than others, but it doesn't seem to be channel dependant
[03:13] <Seeker`> I just remember it being better than this in the past; been using mythtv for 3 years or so now, and it used to be pretty good; it'd catch 9/10 adverts quite well, and the occasional blip
[03:13] <Seeker`> but i've reverted to using manual 30-second seek through adverts now :(
[03:13] <Shadow__X> maybe the content providers are working harder to avoid getting flagged
[03:16] <Seeker`> hmm, maybe
[03:16] <Seeker`> still a pita :P
[06:03] <RomioTango> hey guys I just tried to install the mythbuntu reps .deb however my x crashed in the process.. I then had to run dpkg --configure -a ... thinking it would allow me to go through all the same configuration sets later i told it not to upgrade the system to 0.24
[06:03] <RomioTango> is there any way for me to reconfigure that .deb file so that it will upgrade to 0.24?
[10:20] <Schmidt> What can I do to solve the problem with low volume in MythTV ? I tried internal player and mplayer but there is no difference. Music Player Daemon gets a decent volume. Any tips ?
[12:49] <mrand> Schmidt: in the general setup, there is a screen that has two volume sliders.  Make sure the top one is turned up to 98 or 100%
[13:10] <Schmidt> mrand: all my volumes are at max in alsamixer, should not be the problem
[13:33] <mrand> Schmidt: the two sliders I'm talking about feed to alsamixer.  If they are too low, you won't hear anything.
[13:40] <Schmidt> mrand: I'll have a look when I get home, I have heard of problems with AC3 5.1 streams to stereo stream giving low volumes, do you know anything about that/it ?
[15:01] <joltman> can anyone tell me how to reset the password for MythBuntu's VNC from an SSH terminal?
[17:08] <joltman> someone on the mailing list told me
[17:08] <joltman> sudo x11vnc --storepasswd
[18:02] <stanman> how do i 'import' movies into myth?
[18:02] <stanman> i saw that videos needed to be in /var/lib/mythtv/videos
[18:02] <stanman> is that the place to put video media?
[18:03] <stanman> nudelsnack: got it up and running!
[18:06] <Patrickdk> heh, just click the menu button (M?) and select scan
[18:13] <stanman> Patrickdk: inside the mythbuntu Control Centre?
[18:14] <tgm4883> stanman, yes, by default /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ is the correct directory
[18:14] <tgm4883> you can add or change directories to watch in mythtv-setup for the video storage directory
[18:19] <stanman> i added a directory (cause my /home is on it's own partition) but there are insufficient rights. chown it to mythtv:mythtv?
[18:44] <stanman> how do i scan for video files?
[18:46] <rhpot1991> m
[18:46] <rhpot1991> then scan
[18:46] <rhpot1991> if you have a menu button on your remote it should be mapped to that as well
[18:47] <stanman> ? so i start the frontend, then hit "m" and scan?
[18:49] <stanman> if I hit m in the frontend, i get a System Menu with an "about" and "cancel" button...
[18:51] <mrand> stanman: go to the videos
[18:52] <stanman> aaahhhh!
[18:52] <stanman> thanks!
[18:58] <stanman> so watching a movie on the frontend/backend machine works
[18:59] <stanman> now for a frontend machine: i get a message: cannot connect to the backend server.
[19:03] <stanman> hmm... i'll try it later...
[22:02] <pkiller01> hi, i was wondering if it is possible to have mythbuntu work with an avermedia trinity dvb-t/dvb-s
[22:03] <pkiller01> i didnt install it yet, if someone has some experience with that card it would be much aprisciated
[22:04] <pkiller01> !time
[22:04] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about time
[22:08] <mrand> pkiller01: the number of people in this channel that are likely to have experience with that card probably approaches zero.  I'd look on the mythtv wiki or search the mythbuntu forums and mythtv-users mailing list.
[22:12] <pkiller01> thank you
