[00:06] _antant - i remeber hearing about an issue of that ilk using ATI video cards? [00:06] my experience is myth +ATI = pain [01:19] <_antant> Got it all sorted now thank god [01:20] <_antant> Now just can't get the xbmc svn repo installer to install [01:22] are you using ati, jus curious? [01:22] <_antant> yup [01:22] get an nvidia [01:22] <_antant> disabled the onboard audio in my bios [01:22] <_antant> lol [01:23] <_antant> I've literally just got this one [01:23] just kill it - shove it to a win box [01:23] <_antant> and it works fine [01:23] pay $25 for a gt210 [01:23] <_antant> I'm in uk [01:23] <_antant> it's more than that [01:23] fine 15 pounds [01:23] <_antant> lol [01:23] <_antant> way more than that [01:23] i am in australia, not US [01:23] they are cheap as chips [01:24] 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] vdpau is decode acceleration for unix [01:25] <_antant> well if I do run into any problems then I may well [01:25] main one will be high cpu usage [01:25] <_antant> really? [01:26] 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 [01:27] <_antant> minimum (even on ebay) for a gt210 is £32 [01:30] would it happen to be an antec case? [01:30] seriously???? $50? [01:30] look internationally [01:31] <_antant> yup [01:31] <_antant> fusion v1 [01:32] http://avenard.com/media/Patches_%26_Add-Ons/Entries/2009/10/17_LIRC_and_LCD_to_work_with_Antec_Fusion_Remote_Black_(Karmic).html [01:32] [avenard.com] LIRC/LCD & Antec Remote Fusion [01:32] just enable his repos if u want [01:33] http://avenard.com/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html [01:33] [avenard.com] Ubuntu Media Playing Packages [01:35] <_antant> nice one [01:36] http://avenard.com/media/Patches_%26_Add-Ons/Entries/2008/10/9_iMON_0038_LCD_working_with_LCDd.html older instructions of what he did [01:36] [avenard.com] Working LCD for Antec Fusion Remote Black (iMON 0038) [01:36] he also has a funky refresh rate patch in those repos http://avenard.com/media/Patches_%26_Add-Ons/Entries/2010/6/7_Matching_refresh_rate_with_input_framerate_to_reduce_judder_%3B_final_part.html and some upmix patching for 5.1 too [01:36] [avenard.com] Matching refresh rate with input framerate to reduce judder [01:38] <_antant> any idea how I can minimize xbmc? [01:38] never really played with it [01:39] dunno why you would need it on a myth system? [01:39] <_antant> prefer is as a media centre [01:40] are you running doze on ur network too? [01:41] http://members.iinet.net.au/~davco/ [01:41] [members.iinet.net.au] MythTV for Windows [01:41] prebuilt windows frontends [01:41] so much easier than having to compile it lol [01:44] <_antant> Yeah, a couple of my flatmates will be running it on win [01:46] <_antant> Having problems connecting tho [01:46] what are they using to connect? [01:47] <_antant> xbmc with the mythbox addon [01:48] would say use mythfrontand [01:49] *mythfrontend [01:49] have had very few hassles with it on windows (other than getting it to build that 1st time lol) [01:49] 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 [01:50] rings bells again [01:50] something about mysql being configured to accept connections from the network [01:51] <_antant> I've got a d/l link for mythtvplayer [01:51] <_antant> that the one? [01:52] no [01:52] http://members.iinet.net.au/~davco/ [01:52] [members.iinet.net.au] MythTV for Windows [01:52] is actually mythtv built for windows [01:53] 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] if u cant find it again - search mythtv.org for windows - there is a link on the windows port page [01:55] <_antant> cheers matey [01:55] np :) [02:00] <_antant> is there a key combo to force close an app? [02:00] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-magic-system-request-keys-in-ubuntu-linux.html [02:06] <_antant> Do you have an antec then? [02:06] not a fusion, no [02:06] had a 2400 [02:07] <_antant> does it have a volume control? and if so have you got it working? [02:07] had been looking at what avenard was doin of late earlier today - just a happy coincidence [02:07] <_antant> lol [02:07] nah 2400 is the fusion without the media gear, jus the case [02:08] I didn't care for xbmc mythtv integration [02:08] didn't play well with 0.24 [02:08] is there a question in there about an antec fusion that I'm missing? [02:12] dont need a htpc that fits in a cabinet atm - a tower hides pretty easily behind a 56" TV lol [02:13] <_antant_> well, true I suppose! [02:14] <_antant_> Why does mythbuntu not come with an archiver already installed? [02:14] <_antant_> Any recommendations? [02:23] welcome to the can of worms lol [02:25] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvidexport.py that what you are looking for? [02:25] [www.mythtv.org] Mythvidexport.py - MythTV Official Wiki [02:26] clever script that moves recordings and their metadata into mythvideo [02:26] should be able to use this transcode wrapper BEFORE it to transcode the recording too if you wish === mycosys1 is now known as mycosys === mycosys is now known as Guest7538 [02:31] <_antant_> Nope. I literally mean a zip/tar handler [02:44] goddam nickserv === 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 [02:47] thank god for that [02:47] _antant_, it looks like tar is installed by default [02:48] did i miss anything _antant_ [02:48] I may have installed it along time ago though [02:48] was that script what you are lookin for? [02:49] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_wrapper_stub is the other script i mentioned before i stuffed up nickserv [02:49] [www.mythtv.org] Transcode wrapper stub - MythTV Official Wiki [02:49] use ti before the move [02:50] 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 [02:52] they are both written by one of the mythtv devs, who also happens to be a software engineer [02:55] <_antant_> Hey mycosys. No, I was literally talking about a zip/tar/whatever utility [02:55] ahhh [02:55] tar is there by default [02:55] so is bzip [02:55] <_antant_> gui one? [02:56] gui is for wimps [02:56] <_antant_> lol [02:56] 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] wimps = windows icons menus pointers [02:57] is a very old pun [02:57] gui is for wimps [02:57] <_antant_> describes me well [02:58] <_antant_> what's the one that comes in plainbuntu? [03:00] <_antant_> and where did I set my sql password? [03:01] 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] WIMPs is the normal form of GUI that just about everything uses btw [03:02] <_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 [03:03] _antant_, mythtv sql password is kept in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [03:04] if you need the mysql admin password it is different [03:07] <_antant_> got it, changed it. cheers [03:07] <_antant_> Now if only I could run this bloody jar file [03:08] <_antant_> java -jar RemoteDroidServer.jar [03:08] <_antant_> no? [03:08] looks correct, is java installed? [03:09] <_antant_> yup [03:09] <_antant_> unable to access jarfile xxx.jar [03:09] _antant_: why not use one of the mythtv droid remotes? [03:10] <_antant_> I will [03:10] <_antant_> I wanna be able to use my phone as a mouse too though [03:10] vnc is prob easier [03:10] there are vnc clients for android too [03:11] <_antant_> yeah, I had this running under win though and I've paid for it [03:11] <_antant_> only a £ or so, but still [03:19] <_antant_> any recommended java I should install? used the open jdk/jre [03:25] <_antant_> fecking great. Now java.awt.headlessexception [13:57] hi guys [13:58] 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? [13:59] ok please ignore, seems to be responding now..not sure what happened [14:00] 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 [14:04] 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? [14:05] unresponsiveness issue has returned again... seems it happens for the first few minutes of playback [14:16] unable for some reason to switch between Master and Slave tuner cards...I assume Y is the correct short-key? [15:13] hi [15:15] perlmonkey: did you setup that card on the 2nd backend, you need to run mythtv-setup there too [15:16] thank you rhpot [15:17] im using 2nd card for cctv camera [16:55] Mythbuntu 10.10 with TeviiS464 (driver and FW installed) "Channel scan" only brings "Encrypted" results. Already tested different LNB settings [17:41] I couldn't make it work [17:41] 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 [17:42] 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 [17:43] perlmonkey: 1. are you sure thats the right location [17:43] yes [17:43] what kinda card? [17:43] I put a video source into the card and i saw the image in the video file [17:43] but it only shows the first frame and freezes when i play it in a video player [17:44] sounds like a configuration issue with the card [17:44] 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] I have the same card in my master backend which works fine [17:45] should configure the exact same way then [17:45] ya i configured exactly the same with ivtv driver [17:45] but maybe something is wrong on this sys cuz the cat test should of produced a proper video file eh [17:47] complete mystery [17:48] 01:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) [17:51] unable to make it work [17:52] will try again [18:00] well the cat test is now working fine [18:01] 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] right lets try the slave backend now [18:02] damnit [18:02] still won't let me switch cards [18:04] nah just can't get it to work [18:04] perlmonkey: as in says all cards are busy? [18:05] I must be missing some step [18:05] if you check mythweb or info center on your backend, does it list all the cards? [18:05] 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] good question, let me check [18:06] aha [18:06] "Tuner 10 has an error" [18:06] check your logs for hints [18:06] !logs [18:06] 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] thanks rhpot checking [18:17] strange [18:17] it seems the Y/next card feature has been depreciated [18:18] 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] grrr [18:19] I'm out of options at this point [18:28] still seeing "Tuner 10 has an error" [18:33] I give up. [18:38] looks like either the card itself or the driver maybe screwed [18:39] perlmonkey: could try swapping cards and see what happens [18:39] yeah may have to [18:39] interesting...just discovered something [18:40] it seems that.. if I have frontend running, I cannot play video in a separate video player.. [18:40] video from cat from the card I mean, the player just locks up [18:41] i will try replacing the card [18:43] cause its used [18:44] frontend running as in watching video, or just at the menu? [18:49] watching video, but not using that card of course [18:51] it's strange why myth info says the card has an error when it works fine with cat test [18:54] all I can do now is try changing the card [18:57] brb shutting down to fit a brand new card [19:02] <_antant_> Ahoy [19:03] <_antant_> I've mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/Media, can I then mount /mnt/Media/Media to /home/ant/Media ? [19:05] installed new card, exactly same error in mythtv info system status [19:05] how annoying. but at least the hardware is ok, must be a driver issue or config prob [19:06] completely out of options now [19:06] I wonder... [19:07] 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] maybe there's some incompatibilty [19:10] wasted half a day on this [19:13] Hi all [19:14] hi degli [19:14] I'm new user of mythubuntu!! [19:14] cool [19:14] but... can I watch the video from megavideo ? [19:14] what is megavideo [19:15] <_antant_> plenty of ways, degli [19:15] <_antant_> google it and you'll find at least one [19:15] megavideo is a streaming video [19:15] oh neat [19:15] ^^ [19:16] I try to find some plugin from google [19:16] degli: its possible mythnetvision will work [19:16] or miro [19:16] (and mirobridge) [19:17] or just fire up a browser [19:17] <_antant_> mythweb, yeah [19:17] <_antant_> lol [19:17] 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] not mythweb [19:17] mythbrowser [19:18] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Plugins [19:18] [www.mythtv.org] Category:Plugins - MythTV [19:18] _antant_: lol :P [19:19] <_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] _antant_: no, I can't u can make a link simbolian [19:20] ln -s source destination [19:21] <_antant_> aha. so ln -s /mnt/STORAGE/Media /home/ant/Media then? [19:21] ye [19:21] ^^ [19:21] still getting card error..i can't get it work no matter what I try [19:21] <_antant_> What card? [19:21] very difficult problem to solve [19:21] _antant_ Adaptec VideOh! (Hauppauge PVR-150 chipset) ivtv driver [19:22] I've thi's card https://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2005/03/080-satkarten/nexus.jpg [19:22] i wish myth info would give more details on why the card has an error "Tuner 12 has an error" is hardly very helpful [19:23] whith DVR w0rk, but I don't know if work on mythtv [19:23] <_antant_> found this page, perlmonkey? [19:23] <_antant_> http://www.simsemporium.com/Stuff/Mythtv+-+PVR-150+-+Ubuntu+-+New+Zealand+HOWTO.html [19:23] [www.simsemporium.com] Mythtv - PVR-150 - Ubuntu - New Zealand HOWTO [19:23] thanks [19:24] _antant_: ya symlink will do, careful using your home dir [19:24] can I use the happaugen for watchin g on my tv ? [19:24] mythtv uses special permissions and if you use your home dir it generally causes issues [19:24] you should use /var/lib/mythtv if possible [19:24] ok [19:24] or go ahead and make yourself something like a /mythtv [19:25] <_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] _antant_: /var/lib/mythtv/videos is prob a good place for it, that should already exist if you installed mythvideo [19:25] where is the directory set? [19:26] <_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] _antant_: dunno how much we can help you here with that [19:27] <_antant_> Nah, don't need help with xbmc [19:27] perlmonkey: what directory? [19:27] the directory for mythtv to write all its video files into [20:22] ;-( [20:38] i had to give up [21:02] gutted [21:11] mortified [21:32] it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:33] sort of...heh [22:04] all working =) [22:05] all this to watch some tv-on-demand programs and install CCTV to keep the TV License goons off my property [23:45] <_antant_> Anyone recommend any extra repositories?
