| patdk-lap | hmm, it's back | 00:50 |
| The_Thing | Anyone have experience with installing and configuring Lirc with a homebrew serial port receiver? | 02:00 |
| The_Thing | ...in Mythbuntu | 02:01 |
| qwebirc84176 | Hello, I have setup MythTV on Ubuntu, I have a HD-PVR, the drivers are configured, I can record video by making a test.ts file. The problem I have is I don't get any video in MythTV when I click on Watch Live TV, any ideas? | 02:23 |
| The_Thing | !helo lirc | 02:43 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about helo lirc | 02:43 |
| The_Thing | !help lirc | 02:44 |
| Zinn | !help lirc For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 02:44 |
| The_Thing | Where is the setup script for Lirc? | 02:44 |
| The_Thing | Anyone here know how to configure LIRC for Mythbuntu? | 02:53 |
| The_Thing | When I turned it on in the MCC, it asked for my remote control, and I found my homebrew IR receiver in the list in the initial setup dialog. But when I go to test it with irw, it picks up nothing. | 02:54 |
| The_Thing | It's been tested in WinLIRC, and it does work in there... | 02:55 |
| radicalbiscuit | Hi all. I installed mythbuntu as a backend+frontend. I'd like to stop X from running and run it headless but without uninstalling anything so I can run the frontend on demand if I want, but without inittab or sane init levels, I'm not sure how to go about this, especially since mythbuntu's ui setup differs from ubuntu's so much. Any ideas? | 05:26 |
| _antant | hey guys. | 16:30 |
| _antant | I'm having a problem with installing mythbuntu | 16:30 |
| _antant | I've created a live usb and it won't go past... | 16:31 |
| _antant | 'SYSLINUX 3.82 2009-06-09 CBIOS ....etc' | 16:31 |
| _antant | Any hints? | 16:31 |
| qwebirc57594 | I have a Hauppauge hvr 2250. its' the version with the NON USB reciever. I decided to buy a cheap usb receiver to make the remote work. The remote that came with the receiver works. the hauppauge one refuses to operate. I thought all MCE usb receivers worked with all MCE remotes. what gives? | 18:02 |
| chiluk | qwebirc57594 | 18:12 |
| qwebirc57594 | yeah, it's a random name from the webchat, okay? :) | 18:13 |
| chiluk | the problem is that lirc is detect the ir sensor as whatever remote it came with. | 18:13 |
| chiluk | you would have to edit and recompile lirc to detect your usb sensor to be one that can receive codes from your hauppauge remote. | 18:13 |
| chiluk | I haven't ever done this, but I've thought about doing it. | 18:13 |
| chiluk | I don't know how straightforward it would be. | 18:14 |
| chiluk | If I were you I'd stick with the MCE usb remote. | 18:14 |
| qwebirc57594 | seems like that will be needed, since the reciever on the cable is not supported. what'sa frustratign is the card used to come with a USB receiver, adn that worked. | 18:14 |
| chiluk | I don't think the hauppauge remote uses the mce driver... I could be wrong though. | 18:15 |
| qwebirc57594 | it's got a windows button on it. it's shown on the wiki. | 18:15 |
| chiluk | yeah.. I have an hvr-2250 | 18:15 |
| chiluk | and i got a generic mce usb remote... | 18:15 |
| qwebirc57594 | if i had the hauppauge usb receiver it woudl be working. | 18:15 |
| chiluk | and then programmed my harmony to talk that. | 18:15 |
| chiluk | that is true. | 18:15 |
| qwebirc57594 | it IS a MCE remote, so says Happauge. | 18:15 |
| chiluk | you might want to check irw to see if any remote codes are being captured. | 18:16 |
| qwebirc57594 | irw shows nothing. | 18:16 |
| qwebirc57594 | could it be that i have a version 1 receiver? | 18:16 |
| chiluk | mce remote could mean a ton of things ... especially to a marketting group. | 18:17 |
| chiluk | you are at the extent of my experience.. | 18:17 |
| qwebirc57594 | i know there are two revisions of MCE remote version 1 and version 2. | 18:17 |
| chiluk | I have never attempted to get a remote to work with a receiver that wasn't it's own. | 18:17 |
| chiluk | but it should theoretically be possible. | 18:17 |
| chiluk | that sounds feasible. | 18:18 |
| chiluk | you might want to grep the lirc remote profiles form hauppauge | 18:18 |
| chiluk | and see what driver they are using with it. | 18:18 |
| qwebirc57594 | is ther a way to tell which version a remote is using? | 18:18 |
| chiluk | I do not know of a way. | 18:19 |
| chiluk | what I would do is grep for hauppauge in the lirc sources | 18:19 |
| qwebirc57594 | thanks anyway. | 18:19 |
| qwebirc57594 | this remote that does work says PCRemote on it. | 18:20 |
| chiluk | and add your usb receiver to the list of detected devices for that driver. | 18:20 |
| chiluk | what is lsmod telling you. | 18:20 |
| qwebirc57594 | lsusb does show the receiver. let me go look again. | 18:20 |
| qwebirc57594 | Chaplet Systems Incorporated. and strangely enough irw shows nothing when usign it. do i have to kill lircd befroe running irw? | 18:21 |
| chiluk | it should watch lircd by default so I assume you need it up. | 18:22 |
| chiluk | sudo irw? | 18:22 |
| qwebirc57594 | okay i think i get it. | 18:24 |
| qwebirc57594 | irw is not looking for the tv keys because the remote that came with the reciever doesn't have them. | 18:24 |
| qwebirc57594 | but i have lircd configured for MCE remotes, and it works. is that proof that the tv-key less remote is a MCE one? i assumed it was because it has a windows logo key. | 18:25 |
| chiluk | irw is dumb and will print out every command that lirc understands | 18:26 |
| qwebirc57594 | this is what i bought because it was cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Center-Remote-Control-Infrared-Receiver/dp/B001HBOJRQ | 18:27 |
| chiluk | so your new and old remote both work only some of the buttons on the hauppauge remote don't work. | 18:27 |
| qwebirc57594 | the receivers remote some of the buttons show stuff, others show nothing. | 18:27 |
| qwebirc57594 | NOTHING shows for the hauppauge. | 18:28 |
| chiluk | ok. | 18:28 |
| qwebirc57594 | the ouse rocker moves the mouse and shows nothing in irw. | 18:28 |
| chiluk | it's probably because lirc doesn't have ir codes that your remote is sending. | 18:28 |
| chiluk | sounds like your ir remote may be loading it's own hid driver? | 18:30 |
| qwebirc57594 | and showig up as a keyboard and mouse? | 18:31 |
| qwebirc57594 | dammit. :) | 18:31 |
| _antant_ | Hi guys, I'm having a problem. | 18:32 |
| _antant_ | I can't get any video out of my Radeon 5450 on HDMI with a fresh install | 18:33 |
| qwebirc57594 | are their actual sub 20$ cmce usb receivers. | 18:33 |
| qwebirc57594 | time to post an unflattering review on amazon. | 18:38 |
| chiluk | I wouldn't post an unflattering review | 18:43 |
| chiluk | you are using it not as it was intended. | 18:43 |
| chiluk | you might want to leave no answer to the stars, and a long comment on what you couldn't get it to do. | 18:43 |
| chiluk | or perhaps 2 or 3 stars and mention that the linux drivers aren't there yet. | 18:44 |
| qwebirc57594 | I said 2 stars, and entitled it as NOT a media center remote at all. | 18:45 |
| chiluk | _antant_ are you able to get any video on any output with a normal monitor? | 18:45 |
| _antant_ | dunno. haven't got one | 18:45 |
| qwebirc57594 | and said that i bough tit to use with my actual MCE remote, and it didn't work. | 18:45 |
| qwebirc57594 | and it gets 2 stars because it actually does function. | 18:45 |
| chiluk | I don't think you correctly understand how all the parts interoperate. | 18:46 |
| chiluk | all mce remotes don't work with all receivers out of the box. | 18:46 |
| qwebirc57594 | it's definitely a keyboard/mouse. | 18:46 |
| chiluk | is that what you are seeing in lspci? | 18:47 |
| chiluk | or lsusb? | 18:47 |
| chiluk | _antant_ you might need the latest radeon drivers to driver the new card. | 18:48 |
| chiluk | i gave up on ati a few years back... and I really can't help you any more about anything with their stuff. | 18:48 |
| chiluk | ok back to work with me. | 18:48 |
| _antant_ | damn | 18:49 |
| Zinn | _antant_: Please watch your language. | 18:49 |
| chiluk | hah | 18:49 |
| _antant_ | hmm | 18:49 |
| qwebirc57594 | i killed lircd and it still works. | 18:51 |
| qwebirc57594 | i think that's proof right there. | 18:51 |
| chiluk | yeah | 18:52 |
| chiluk | probably | 18:52 |
| _antant_ | ok, now got video but also a purple line down the left of my screen. joy | 18:52 |
| _antant_ | progress though | 18:52 |
| qwebirc57594 | yeah. nvidia just works better in linux at the moment i think. | 18:53 |
| chiluk | _antant_ ... my suggestion would be to plug in a second monitor | 18:54 |
| qwebirc57594 | yes it would be nice if there was an open source driver with full acceleration, but there's actually a very good reason for closed source drivers, from a software developers standpoint. | 18:54 |
| chiluk | in order to set the proper res/refresh in the ati drivers for your hdmi output. | 18:54 |
| chiluk | there's a good chance your tv doesn't like what your vid card is tossing at it | 18:54 |
| qwebirc57594 | (they are a lot harder to hack to cheat in online games) | 18:54 |
| _antant_ | argh. May be a very quick foray into mythbuntu and then back to win7 | 18:54 |
| chiluk | Don't do it! the old evil empire is still evil... | 18:55 |
| _antant_ | lol | 18:55 |
| _antant_ | It worked though | 18:55 |
| chiluk | i actually switched to myth after using beyondtv for 2 yrs and then media center for 2 months... | 18:56 |
| chiluk | I've been on Mythtv for about 3 yrs now.... | 18:57 |
| _antant_ | Well hopefully it'll work after I've updated everything and restarted | 18:59 |
| chiluk | have you installed ati's restricted drivers yet? | 19:06 |
| _antant_ | in the process of updating and restarting | 19:07 |
| chiluk | updating is one thing | 19:08 |
| chiluk | but you have to actively tell ubuntu to use ati's restricted drivers instead of the open source ones. | 19:08 |
| chiluk | because ati is a bi ----tch like that. | 19:08 |
| _antant_ | Yeah, I have done | 19:08 |
| _antant_ | Zinn! Zinn! Look what he did! | 19:09 |
| Zinn | Hi _antant_, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 19:09 |
| _antant_ | Just applying the ~200Mb of updates | 19:10 |
| _antant_ | and then restarting and we'll see what happens | 19:10 |
| _antant_ | Don't know of an SAB script that does well renaming movies do you? | 19:12 |
| _antant_ | Would really rather never having to exit MythTV | 19:13 |
| _antant_ | never have to. | 19:13 |
| _antant_ | What the heel is up with my English today? | 19:13 |
| chiluk | I do not know a script off hand.. | 19:16 |
| chiluk | but there are tons of renaming scripts. | 19:16 |
| _antant_ | yeah, hoping I can find one that does it well | 19:19 |
| _antant_ | Ok, anyone know where there's a compatibility list for TV tuners for mythtv? | 21:14 |
| _antant_ | Ok, there doesn't seem to be much information on any PCIe cards | 21:19 |
| _antant_ | Does anyone here have experience setting up a TV tuner in mythtv? | 21:19 |
| _antant | anyone come across the problem of having 2 pictures shown with a tuner card, one above the other? | 22:41 |
| _antant | Please let there be someone around | 23:08 |
