[00:43] did something happen? [00:43] I'm only getting 404's for ppa:mythbuntu/0.24 [00:50] hmm, it's back [02:00] Anyone have experience with installing and configuring Lirc with a homebrew serial port receiver? [02:01] ...in Mythbuntu [02:23] 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? [02:43] !helo lirc [02:43] Sorry I don't know about helo lirc [02:44] !help lirc [02:44] !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] Where is the setup script for Lirc? [02:53] Anyone here know how to configure LIRC for Mythbuntu? [02:54] 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. [02:55] It's been tested in WinLIRC, and it does work in there... [05:26] 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? [16:30] <_antant> hey guys. [16:30] <_antant> I'm having a problem with installing mythbuntu [16:31] <_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? [18:02] 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? [18:12] qwebirc57594 [18:13] yeah, it's a random name from the webchat, okay? :) [18:13] the problem is that lirc is detect the ir sensor as whatever remote it came with. [18:13] 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] I haven't ever done this, but I've thought about doing it. [18:14] I don't know how straightforward it would be. [18:14] If I were you I'd stick with the MCE usb remote. [18:14] 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. [18:15] I don't think the hauppauge remote uses the mce driver... I could be wrong though. [18:15] it's got a windows button on it. it's shown on the wiki. [18:15] yeah.. I have an hvr-2250 [18:15] and i got a generic mce usb remote... [18:15] if i had the hauppauge usb receiver it woudl be working. [18:15] and then programmed my harmony to talk that. [18:15] that is true. [18:15] it IS a MCE remote, so says Happauge. [18:16] you might want to check irw to see if any remote codes are being captured. [18:16] irw shows nothing. [18:16] could it be that i have a version 1 receiver? [18:17] mce remote could mean a ton of things ... especially to a marketting group. [18:17] you are at the extent of my experience.. [18:17] i know there are two revisions of MCE remote version 1 and version 2. [18:17] I have never attempted to get a remote to work with a receiver that wasn't it's own. [18:17] but it should theoretically be possible. [18:18] that sounds feasible. [18:18] you might want to grep the lirc remote profiles form hauppauge [18:18] and see what driver they are using with it. [18:18] is ther a way to tell which version a remote is using? [18:19] I do not know of a way. [18:19] what I would do is grep for hauppauge in the lirc sources [18:19] thanks anyway. [18:20] this remote that does work says PCRemote on it. [18:20] and add your usb receiver to the list of detected devices for that driver. [18:20] what is lsmod telling you. [18:20] lsusb does show the receiver. let me go look again. [18:21] Chaplet Systems Incorporated. and strangely enough irw shows nothing when usign it. do i have to kill lircd befroe running irw? [18:22] it should watch lircd by default so I assume you need it up. [18:22] sudo irw? [18:24] okay i think i get it. [18:24] irw is not looking for the tv keys because the remote that came with the reciever doesn't have them. [18:25] 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. [18:26] irw is dumb and will print out every command that lirc understands [18:27] this is what i bought because it was cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Center-Remote-Control-Infrared-Receiver/dp/B001HBOJRQ [18:27] so your new and old remote both work only some of the buttons on the hauppauge remote don't work. [18:27] the receivers remote some of the buttons show stuff, others show nothing. [18:28] NOTHING shows for the hauppauge. [18:28] ok. [18:28] the ouse rocker moves the mouse and shows nothing in irw. [18:28] it's probably because lirc doesn't have ir codes that your remote is sending. [18:30] sounds like your ir remote may be loading it's own hid driver? [18:31] and showig up as a keyboard and mouse? [18:31] dammit. :) [18:32] <_antant_> Hi guys, I'm having a problem. [18:33] <_antant_> I can't get any video out of my Radeon 5450 on HDMI with a fresh install [18:33] are their actual sub 20$ cmce usb receivers. [18:38] time to post an unflattering review on amazon. [18:43] I wouldn't post an unflattering review [18:43] you are using it not as it was intended. [18:43] you might want to leave no answer to the stars, and a long comment on what you couldn't get it to do. [18:44] or perhaps 2 or 3 stars and mention that the linux drivers aren't there yet. [18:45] I said 2 stars, and entitled it as NOT a media center remote at all. [18:45] _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] and said that i bough tit to use with my actual MCE remote, and it didn't work. [18:45] and it gets 2 stars because it actually does function. [18:46] I don't think you correctly understand how all the parts interoperate. [18:46] all mce remotes don't work with all receivers out of the box. [18:46] it's definitely a keyboard/mouse. [18:47] is that what you are seeing in lspci? [18:47] or lsusb? [18:48] _antant_ you might need the latest radeon drivers to driver the new card. [18:48] 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] ok back to work with me. [18:49] <_antant_> damn [18:49] _antant_: Please watch your language. [18:49] hah [18:49] <_antant_> hmm [18:51] i killed lircd and it still works. [18:51] i think that's proof right there. [18:52] yeah [18:52] 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 [18:53] yeah. nvidia just works better in linux at the moment i think. [18:54] _antant_ ... my suggestion would be to plug in a second monitor [18:54] 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] in order to set the proper res/refresh in the ati drivers for your hdmi output. [18:54] there's a good chance your tv doesn't like what your vid card is tossing at it [18:54] (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 [18:55] Don't do it! the old evil empire is still evil... [18:55] <_antant_> lol [18:55] <_antant_> It worked though [18:56] i actually switched to myth after using beyondtv for 2 yrs and then media center for 2 months... [18:57] I've been on Mythtv for about 3 yrs now.... [18:59] <_antant_> Well hopefully it'll work after I've updated everything and restarted [19:06] have you installed ati's restricted drivers yet? [19:07] <_antant_> in the process of updating and restarting [19:08] updating is one thing [19:08] but you have to actively tell ubuntu to use ati's restricted drivers instead of the open source ones. [19:08] because ati is a bi ----tch like that. [19:08] <_antant_> Yeah, I have done [19:09] <_antant_> Zinn! Zinn! Look what he did! [19:09] Hi _antant_, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [19:10] <_antant_> Just applying the ~200Mb of updates [19:10] <_antant_> and then restarting and we'll see what happens [19:12] <_antant_> Don't know of an SAB script that does well renaming movies do you? [19:13] <_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? [19:16] I do not know a script off hand.. [19:16] but there are tons of renaming scripts. [19:19] <_antant_> yeah, hoping I can find one that does it well [21:14] <_antant_> Ok, anyone know where there's a compatibility list for TV tuners for mythtv? [21:19] <_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? [22:41] <_antant> anyone come across the problem of having 2 pictures shown with a tuner card, one above the other? [23:08] <_antant> Please let there be someone around
