| mycosys | _antant - i remeber hearing about an issue of that ilk using ATI video cards? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| mycosys | my experience is myth +ATI = pain | 00:06 |
| _antant | Got it all sorted now thank god | 01:19 |
| _antant | Now just can't get the xbmc svn repo installer to install | 01:20 |
| mycosys | are you using ati, jus curious? | 01:22 |
| _antant | yup | 01:22 |
| mycosys | get an nvidia | 01:22 |
| _antant | disabled the onboard audio in my bios | 01:22 |
| _antant | lol | 01:22 |
| _antant | I've literally just got this one | 01:23 |
| mycosys | just kill it - shove it to a win box | 01:23 |
| _antant | and it works fine | 01:23 |
| mycosys | pay $25 for a gt210 | 01:23 |
| _antant | I'm in uk | 01:23 |
| _antant | it's more than that | 01:23 |
| mycosys | fine 15 pounds | 01:23 |
| _antant | lol | 01:23 |
| _antant | way more than that | 01:23 |
| mycosys | i am in australia, not US | 01:23 |
| mycosys | they are cheap as chips | 01:23 |
| mycosys | nvidia > 8xxxx will give you vdpau, and opengl that works | 01:24 |
| _antant | this 5450 works fine now | 01:24 |
| _antant | no problems with audio through hdmi, no problems with mythtv, nothing | 01:24 |
| mycosys | vdpau is decode acceleration for unix | 01:24 |
| _antant | well if I do run into any problems then I may well | 01:25 |
| mycosys | main one will be high cpu usage | 01:25 |
| _antant | really? | 01:25 |
| mycosys | uhuh - u are doing all decode on cpu | 01:26 |
| _antant | I'll get my case vfd working and check it | 01:26 |
| _antant | which I read may be a bit of a pain too | 01:26 |
| _antant | minimum (even on ebay) for a gt210 is £32 | 01:27 |
| mycosys | would it happen to be an antec case? | 01:30 |
| mycosys | seriously???? $50? | 01:30 |
| mycosys | look internationally | 01:30 |
| _antant | yup | 01:31 |

| _antant | any idea how I can minimize xbmc? | 01:38 |
| mycosys | never really played with it | 01:38 |
| mycosys | dunno why you would need it on a myth system? | 01:39 |
| _antant | prefer is as a media centre | 01:39 |
| mycosys | are you running doze on ur network too? | 01:40 |
| mycosys | http://members.iinet.net.au/~davco/ | 01:41 |
| Zinn | [members.iinet.net.au] MythTV for Windows | 01:41 |
| mycosys | prebuilt windows frontends | 01:41 |
| mycosys | so much easier than having to compile it lol | 01:41 |
| _antant | Yeah, a couple of my flatmates will be running it on win | 01:44 |
| _antant | Having problems connecting tho | 01:46 |
| mycosys | what are they using to connect? | 01:46 |
| _antant | xbmc with the mythbox addon | 01:47 |
| mycosys | would say use mythfrontand | 01:48 |
| mycosys | *mythfrontend | 01:49 |
| mycosys | have had very few hassles with it on windows (other than getting it to build that 1st time lol) | 01:49 |
| mycosys | will also be the only way they will get live tv | 01:49 |
| _antant | I'm getting told that it can't log in to the sql database | 01:49 |
| mycosys | rings bells again | 01:50 |
| mycosys | something about mysql being configured to accept connections from the network | 01:50 |
| _antant | I've got a d/l link for mythtvplayer | 01:51 |
| _antant | that the one? | 01:51 |
| mycosys | no | 01:52 |
| mycosys | http://members.iinet.net.au/~davco/ | 01:52 |
| Zinn | [members.iinet.net.au] MythTV for Windows | 01:52 |
| mycosys | is actually mythtv built for windows | 01:52 |
| mycosys | exactly the same as on linux, just built using mingw | 01:53 |
| _antant | aha! I found that once and couldn't find it again | 01:53 |
| mycosys | if u cant find it again - search mythtv.org for windows - there is a link on the windows port page | 01:53 |
| _antant | cheers matey | 01:55 |
| mycosys | np :) | 01:55 |
| _antant | is there a key combo to force close an app? | 02:00 |
| mycosys | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-magic-system-request-keys-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 02:00 |
| _antant | Do you have an antec then? | 02:06 |
| mycosys | not a fusion, no | 02:06 |
| mycosys | had a 2400 | 02:06 |
| _antant | does it have a volume control? and if so have you got it working? | 02:07 |
| mycosys | had been looking at what avenard was doin of late earlier today - just a happy coincidence | 02:07 |
| _antant | lol | 02:07 |
| mycosys | nah 2400 is the fusion without the media gear, jus the case | 02:07 |
| rhpot1991 | I didn't care for xbmc mythtv integration | 02:08 |
| rhpot1991 | didn't play well with 0.24 | 02:08 |
| rhpot1991 | is there a question in there about an antec fusion that I'm missing? | 02:08 |
| mycosys | dont need a htpc that fits in a cabinet atm - a tower hides pretty easily behind a 56" TV lol | 02:12 |
| _antant_ | well, true I suppose! | 02:13 |
| _antant_ | Why does mythbuntu not come with an archiver already installed? | 02:14 |
| _antant_ | Any recommendations? | 02:14 |
| mycosys1 | welcome to the can of worms lol | 02:23 |
| mycosys1 | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvidexport.py that what you are looking for? | 02:25 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Mythvidexport.py - MythTV Official Wiki | 02:25 |
| mycosys1 | clever script that moves recordings and their metadata into mythvideo | 02:26 |
| mycosys1 | should be able to use this transcode wrapper BEFORE it to transcode the recording too if you wish | 02:26 |
| === mycosys1 is now known as mycosys | ||
| === mycosys is now known as Guest7538 | ||
| _antant_ | Nope. I literally mean a zip/tar handler | 02:31 |
| myco | goddam nickserv | 02:44 |
| === myco is now known as mycoDA | ||
| === mycoDA is now known as myco-Lap | ||
| === myco-Lap is now known as mycofone | ||
| === mycofone is now known as mycosys | ||
| mycosys | thank god for that | 02:47 |
| tgm4883 | _antant_, it looks like tar is installed by default | 02:47 |
| mycosys | did i miss anything _antant_ | 02:48 |
| tgm4883 | I may have installed it along time ago though | 02:48 |
| mycosys | was that script what you are lookin for? | 02:48 |
| mycosys | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_wrapper_stub is the other script i mentioned before i stuffed up nickserv | 02:49 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Transcode wrapper stub - MythTV Official Wiki | 02:49 |
| mycosys | use ti before the move | 02:49 |
| mycosys | mythvidexport is very clever- can actually export between machines without one machine knowing or caring about the disk location on the other - uses the myth protocol | 02:50 |
| mycosys | they are both written by one of the mythtv devs, who also happens to be a software engineer | 02:52 |
| _antant_ | Hey mycosys. No, I was literally talking about a zip/tar/whatever utility | 02:55 |
| mycosys | ahhh | 02:55 |
| mycosys | tar is there by default | 02:55 |
| mycosys | so is bzip | 02:55 |
| _antant_ | gui one? | 02:55 |
| mycosys | gui is for wimps | 02:56 |
| _antant_ | lol | 02:56 |
| mycosys | or more correctly W.I.M.P.S. | 02:56 |
| _antant_ | be gentle. I'm just ported my box over from the dark side | 02:56 |
| mycosys | wimps = windows icons menus pointers | 02:56 |
| mycosys | is a very old pun | 02:57 |
| mycosys | gui is for wimps | 02:57 |
| _antant_ | describes me well | 02:57 |
| _antant_ | what's the one that comes in plainbuntu? | 02:58 |
| _antant_ | and where did I set my sql password? | 03:00 |
| mycosys | i have no idea - and the system does it for u during setup | 03:01 |
| _antant_ | file roller is the answer to my first question | 03:01 |
| mycosys | WIMPs is the normal form of GUI that just about everything uses btw | 03:01 |
| _antant_ | I remember seeing a 6 or 8 char password somewhere when i was setting up but i didn;t change it or note it down | 03:02 |
| tgm4883 | _antant_, mythtv sql password is kept in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 03:03 |
| tgm4883 | if you need the mysql admin password it is different | 03:04 |
| _antant_ | got it, changed it. cheers | 03:07 |
| _antant_ | Now if only I could run this bloody jar file | 03:07 |
| _antant_ | java -jar RemoteDroidServer.jar | 03:08 |
| _antant_ | no? | 03:08 |
| tgm4883 | looks correct, is java installed? | 03:08 |
| _antant_ | yup | 03:09 |
| _antant_ | unable to access jarfile xxx.jar | 03:09 |
| rhpot1991 | _antant_: why not use one of the mythtv droid remotes? | 03:09 |
| _antant_ | I will | 03:10 |
| _antant_ | I wanna be able to use my phone as a mouse too though | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | vnc is prob easier | 03:10 |
| rhpot1991 | there are vnc clients for android too | 03:10 |
| _antant_ | yeah, I had this running under win though and I've paid for it | 03:11 |
| _antant_ | only a £ or so, but still | 03:11 |
| _antant_ | any recommended java I should install? used the open jdk/jre | 03:19 |
| _antant_ | fecking great. Now java.awt.headlessexception | 03:25 |
| perlmonkey | hi guys | 13:57 |
| perlmonkey | I've just installed mythbuntu 10.10 (master and slave backends) appears to be partially working, but i've got a couple of issues... firstly, playback on the frontend can't be stopped on my remote machine, esc is unresponsible and shortcut keys appear to be also.. any ideas? | 13:58 |
| perlmonkey | ok please ignore, seems to be responding now..not sure what happened | 13:59 |
| perlmonkey | second issue... I'm having trouble adding the slave backend to master backend, or figuring out how to share a tv card on slave machine | 14:00 |
| perlmonkey | I have added my second card to slave backend (first card is in master backend), when I run frontend on slave machine, and select watch TV, I get "All Tuners are Busy. Select a current recording" with only one option (which is the first card/Master backend recording)...why can't I watch the slave backend tuner? | 14:04 |
| perlmonkey | unresponsiveness issue has returned again... seems it happens for the first few minutes of playback | 14:05 |
| perlmonkey | unable for some reason to switch between Master and Slave tuner cards...I assume Y is the correct short-key? | 14:16 |
| perlmonkey | hi | 15:13 |
| rhpot1991 | perlmonkey: did you setup that card on the 2nd backend, you need to run mythtv-setup there too | 15:15 |
| perlmonkey | thank you rhpot | 15:16 |
| perlmonkey | im using 2nd card for cctv camera | 15:17 |
| qwebirc11749 | Mythbuntu 10.10 with TeviiS464 (driver and FW installed) "Channel scan" only brings "Encrypted" results. Already tested different LNB settings | 16:55 |
| perlmonkey | I couldn't make it work | 17:41 |
| perlmonkey | rhpot1991 I ran myth-setup on the 2nd backend and added the card and video source, inputs, but for some reason it won't let me switch to that card or use it when I Watch TV, it doesn't even come up | 17:41 |
| perlmonkey | i think maybe something is wrong with the driver...as I just did a cat /dev/video0 test and although it wrote to a file, the video could not be viewed..just freezes | 17:42 |
| rhpot1991 | perlmonkey: 1. are you sure thats the right location | 17:43 |
| perlmonkey | yes | 17:43 |
| rhpot1991 | what kinda card? | 17:43 |
| perlmonkey | I put a video source into the card and i saw the image in the video file | 17:43 |
| perlmonkey | but it only shows the first frame and freezes when i play it in a video player | 17:43 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like a configuration issue with the card | 17:44 |
| perlmonkey | It's an Adaptec VideOh! card but it uses the exact same chipset as the Hauppauge PVR-150 and uses the Ivtv driver? | 17:44 |
| perlmonkey | I have the same card in my master backend which works fine | 17:44 |
| rhpot1991 | should configure the exact same way then | 17:45 |
| perlmonkey | ya i configured exactly the same with ivtv driver | 17:45 |
| perlmonkey | but maybe something is wrong on this sys cuz the cat test should of produced a proper video file eh | 17:45 |
| perlmonkey | complete mystery | 17:47 |
| perlmonkey | 01:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) | 17:48 |
| perlmonkey | unable to make it work | 17:51 |
| perlmonkey | will try again | 17:52 |
| perlmonkey | well the cat test is now working fine | 18:00 |
| perlmonkey | i had to reload the driver, so perhaps the driver is not loaded by the sys automatically on boot, I heard of this problem before with ivtv | 18:01 |
| perlmonkey | right lets try the slave backend now | 18:01 |
| perlmonkey | damnit | 18:02 |
| perlmonkey | still won't let me switch cards | 18:02 |
| perlmonkey | nah just can't get it to work | 18:04 |
| rhpot1991 | perlmonkey: as in says all cards are busy? | 18:04 |
| perlmonkey | I must be missing some step | 18:05 |
| rhpot1991 | if you check mythweb or info center on your backend, does it list all the cards? | 18:05 |
| perlmonkey | when I go to Watch TV on frontend, it just automatically starts using master backend card, if i press Y to switch cards it does nothing | 18:05 |
| perlmonkey | good question, let me check | 18:05 |
| perlmonkey | aha | 18:06 |
| perlmonkey | "Tuner 10 has an error" | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | check your logs for hints | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | !logs | 18:06 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 18:06 |
| perlmonkey | thanks rhpot checking | 18:06 |
| perlmonkey | strange | 18:17 |
| perlmonkey | it seems the Y/next card feature has been depreciated | 18:17 |
| perlmonkey | pressing M brings up a livetv menu with a Switch Input option, but when I select that I get "TV Error: Unknown menu action" | 18:18 |
| perlmonkey | grrr | 18:18 |
| perlmonkey | I'm out of options at this point | 18:19 |
| perlmonkey | still seeing "Tuner 10 has an error" | 18:28 |
| perlmonkey | I give up. | 18:33 |
| perlmonkey | looks like either the card itself or the driver maybe screwed | 18:38 |
| rhpot1991 | perlmonkey: could try swapping cards and see what happens | 18:39 |
| perlmonkey | yeah may have to | 18:39 |
| perlmonkey | interesting...just discovered something | 18:39 |
| perlmonkey | it seems that.. if I have frontend running, I cannot play video in a separate video player.. | 18:40 |
| perlmonkey | video from cat from the card I mean, the player just locks up | 18:40 |
| perlmonkey | i will try replacing the card | 18:41 |
| rhpot1991 | cause its used | 18:43 |
| rhpot1991 | frontend running as in watching video, or just at the menu? | 18:44 |
| perlmonkey | watching video, but not using that card of course | 18:49 |
| perlmonkey | it's strange why myth info says the card has an error when it works fine with cat test | 18:51 |
| perlmonkey | all I can do now is try changing the card | 18:54 |
| perlmonkey | brb shutting down to fit a brand new card | 18:57 |
| _antant_ | Ahoy | 19:02 |
| _antant_ | I've mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/Media, can I then mount /mnt/Media/Media to /home/ant/Media ? | 19:03 |
| perlmonkey | installed new card, exactly same error in mythtv info system status | 19:05 |
| perlmonkey | how annoying. but at least the hardware is ok, must be a driver issue or config prob | 19:05 |
| perlmonkey | completely out of options now | 19:06 |
| perlmonkey | I wonder... | 19:06 |
| perlmonkey | if the problem is to do with the fact I have mythbuntu on my master backend, and ubuntu + mythtv packages on my slave backend | 19:07 |
| perlmonkey | maybe there's some incompatibilty | 19:07 |
| perlmonkey | wasted half a day on this | 19:10 |
| degli | Hi all | 19:13 |
| perlmonkey | hi degli | 19:14 |
| degli | I'm new user of mythubuntu!! | 19:14 |
| perlmonkey | cool | 19:14 |
| degli | but... can I watch the video from megavideo ? | 19:14 |
| perlmonkey | what is megavideo | 19:14 |
| _antant_ | plenty of ways, degli | 19:15 |
| _antant_ | google it and you'll find at least one | 19:15 |
| degli | megavideo is a streaming video | 19:15 |
| perlmonkey | oh neat | 19:15 |
| degli | ^^ | 19:15 |
| degli | I try to find some plugin from google | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | degli: its possible mythnetvision will work | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | or miro | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | (and mirobridge) | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | or just fire up a browser | 19:17 |
| _antant_ | mythweb, yeah | 19:17 |
| _antant_ | lol | 19:17 |
| degli | mythvweb ? what's? a plugin? | 19:17 |
| _antant_ | are you sure you wouldn't be more comfortable in windows, degli? Not that I'm trying to push people onto win of course | 19:17 |
| rhpot1991 | not mythweb | 19:17 |

| degli | _antant_: lol :P | 19:18 |
| _antant_ | rhpot, I've mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/STORAGE, can I then mount /mnt/STORAGE/Media to /home/ant/Media ? | 19:19 |
| _antant_ | and can I also mount further media folders to that to combine media collections? | 19:19 |
| degli | _antant_: no, I can't u can make a link simbolian | 19:19 |
| degli | ln -s source destination | 19:20 |
| _antant_ | aha. so ln -s /mnt/STORAGE/Media /home/ant/Media then? | 19:21 |
| degli | ye | 19:21 |
| degli | ^^ | 19:21 |
| perlmonkey | still getting card error..i can't get it work no matter what I try | 19:21 |
| _antant_ | What card? | 19:21 |
| perlmonkey | very difficult problem to solve | 19:21 |
| perlmonkey | _antant_ Adaptec VideOh! (Hauppauge PVR-150 chipset) ivtv driver | 19:21 |
| degli | I've thi's card https://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2005/03/080-satkarten/nexus.jpg | 19:22 |
| perlmonkey | i wish myth info would give more details on why the card has an error "Tuner 12 has an error" is hardly very helpful | 19:22 |
| degli | whith DVR w0rk, but I don't know if work on mythtv | 19:23 |
| _antant_ | found this page, perlmonkey? | 19:23 |

| perlmonkey | thanks | 19:23 |
| rhpot1991 | _antant_: ya symlink will do, careful using your home dir | 19:24 |
| degli | can I use the happaugen for watchin g on my tv ? | 19:24 |
| rhpot1991 | mythtv uses special permissions and if you use your home dir it generally causes issues | 19:24 |
| rhpot1991 | you should use /var/lib/mythtv if possible | 19:24 |
| perlmonkey | ok | 19:24 |
| rhpot1991 | or go ahead and make yourself something like a /mythtv | 19:24 |
| _antant_ | well it's just for my ever expanding media library | 19:25 |
| _antant_ | (which is about to hit 2Tb of HD films. Yay!) | 19:25 |
| rhpot1991 | _antant_: /var/lib/mythtv/videos is prob a good place for it, that should already exist if you installed mythvideo | 19:25 |
| perlmonkey | where is the directory set? | 19:25 |
| _antant_ | well I'm using xbmc as a media centre | 19:26 |
| _antant_ | I'm just used to it from having an original xbox for so long | 19:26 |
| rhpot1991 | _antant_: dunno how much we can help you here with that | 19:26 |
| _antant_ | Nah, don't need help with xbmc | 19:27 |
| rhpot1991 | perlmonkey: what directory? | 19:27 |
| perlmonkey | the directory for mythtv to write all its video files into | 19:27 |
| perlmonkey | ;-( | 20:22 |
| perlmonkey | i had to give up | 20:38 |
| perlmonkey | gutted | 21:02 |
| perlmonkey | mortified | 21:11 |
| perlmonkey | it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 21:32 |
| perlmonkey | sort of...heh | 21:33 |
| perlmonkey | all working =) | 22:04 |
| perlmonkey | all this to watch some tv-on-demand programs and install CCTV to keep the TV License goons off my property | 22:05 |
| _antant_ | Anyone recommend any extra repositories? | 23:45 |
