[00:25] _antant_, http://avenard.com/media/Home.html [00:25] [avenard.com] JYA’s Media Page [00:28] <_antant_> cheers matey [00:29] <_antant_> another question. Where can I put ln -s source destination so it auto links on startup? [00:29] =) [00:30] <_antant_> Ah, there. Ok [00:31] <_antant_> Hold on. I can't find =) [00:31] <_antant_> or :/ [00:31] <_antant_> or even :0 [00:31] <_antant_> Where have they gone?! [00:33] <_antant_> Any place I can put it other than there? Tried fstab. That ain't right [00:35] _antant_, you should only need to do a ln -s once [00:35] <_antant_> really?? Oh, excellent! [00:35] yep [00:36] the source mount point still needs to exist thoug [00:36] <_antant_> ok, how do I un ln? [00:36] ie. if it is a network mount point [00:36] rm the link [00:36] <_antant_> nope. External hdd [00:38] <_antant_> nice one, ta [00:38] <_antant_> Now to get my bloody TV card working. [00:39] <_antant_> It's weird, I installed once and it worked ok. Now reinstalled and nothing [00:39] <_antant_> Just won't recognise it at all === symptom is now known as epoch [00:39] <_antant_> Well. It won't come up in the tuners in the backend setup [00:40] <_antant_> Anyone else got a terratec cinergy 2400i? [00:41] <_antant_> I've followed exactly the same instructions as last time [00:41] <_antant_> Now I'm getting make errors [00:42] <_antant_> Any idea why it would work the first time and then not the second, anyone? [00:50] <_antant_> tgm4883 / dewman: Don't have any clue do you? [00:57] <_antant_> apparently I was wrong. I didn't do what I did last time. Just found the page I ended up at last time [01:10] <_antant_> never realised how important it is to add (year) to your movie filenames [01:30] <_antant_> Is there a way to add nautilus to the Applications/Accessories menu from the command line? [02:10] Hello all! I just installed mythbuntu. I install all the updates. But when I boot the box, it asks me the 'default' keyring password before connecting to my wireless network. Is there a way to connect to my wireless network without requiring user input? (this box will be keyboard/mouseless) [02:45] disregard the question... I got it!!! [02:46] the solution was to edit the wireless connecting and check "available to all users" [06:51] <_antant_> anyone got samba sharing working? [08:58] good morning everyone [08:58] if anyone needs any help setting up MythTV and understanding it's many quirks, I'm on your man [10:59] tis cold [11:35] nah - lovely [11:52] where you at [11:52] im freezing my nuts off had to put the heating on [11:52] my hands are finally thawing out but tingling [12:15] <_antant> Yay for online scratch cards!

TV for everyone! [15:17] :D [15:17] mythtv is leading the way in tv licence evasion [15:18] <_antant> lol [15:18] <_antant> I've never had one [15:19] <_antant> well, not since i left home [15:19] <_antant> I'm 27 now [15:20] wow [15:20] theres hope for me then [15:20] <_antant> occasionally have a dude come round [15:21] <_antant> Just say it's a shared flat, nobody has a tv [15:21] what do you say to him [15:21] oh [15:21] does he say can i check inside [15:21] <_antant> I have a 46" monster sat on my wall [15:21] <_antant> nope [15:21] :D [15:21] <_antant> I have to recommend 3d porn [15:57] <_antant> Anyone got the VFD on an Antec Fusion working? [16:04] once upon a time I did [16:04] _antant: old VFD or the newer LCD one? [16:07] <_antant> old [16:07] <_antant> I've tried the LCDproc run through [16:08] <_antant> right this second I've got 'LCDproc Server' scrolling back and forth on the upper line and Cli: 0 Scr: 0 on the lower [16:08] <_antant> Can't get it to do anything but hat [16:08] http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/6 [16:08] <_antant> that [16:08] [www.baablogic.net] Karmic Antec Fusion VFD | www.baablogic.net [16:08] may be slightly out of date, but should get you in the right direction [16:10] <_antant> on it like white on rice [16:10] * rhpot1991 's rice is brown [16:12] <_antant> on it like brown on rice [16:12] <_antant> or I would be if I had LCDd in init.d [16:12] <_antant> command not found [16:13] did you install the right pieces? [16:13] <_antant> well I followed the LCDproc instruction [16:14] <_antant> s [16:14] <_antant> and if I run LCDd from home it runs [16:15] <_antant> what have I done? [16:19] <_antant> rhpot1991? Any idea? [16:20] _antant: where did you install lcdproc from? [16:21] <_antant> got the 0.5.4 drivers from the website [16:22] you should be installing things from apt if they exist [16:22] sudo apt-get install lcdproc [16:23] or use aptitude, or software center, or whatever else you are comfortable with [16:23] you should be using the ubuntu packages and not source though unless you have a reason [16:23] <_antant> lol [16:23] <_antant> I didn't realise they were in the repositories [16:25] thats why you don't have an init script [16:25] <_antant> I would imaing so, yeah [16:26] <_antant> also why I would imagine it [16:26] <_antant> if I try to sudo echo "Hey" > /dev/lcd0 I get permission denied [16:27] dunno that will work [16:28] <_antant> on that link you sent me am I supposed to have the '' around the options? [16:29] <_antant> Cos I've not put them in and dmesg shows 'lirc_imon: Unknown parameter 'display_type'' [16:29] <_antant> well I got rid of that and didn't get any errors [16:30] <_antant> but I've still got that damn scrolling message [16:30] _antant: Please watch your language. [16:30] <_antant> Zinn, I hate you with a passion that could burn for a thousand years [16:30] Hi _antant, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [16:30] <_antant> lol [16:35] <_antant> rhpot1991, right I'm trying to use lcdproc to send text to it. Eg lcdproc C to get cpu info [16:35] <_antant> All that happens is the 'Cli: 0' goes to 'Cli: 1' briefly. [16:37] <_antant> It said 'Thank you for using LCDproc and linux' when I rebooted! [16:37] <_antant> Now back to flashing heart and scrolling pish [17:03] <_antant> YEEEHAAA BEETCHES! [17:07] !language [17:07] Please follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and watch your language. You can find more information here: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct [17:08] _antant: thats normal to have the heartbeat, now you need to enable lcd support in mythtv [17:14] <_antant> Got it working! [17:14] <_antant> It's actually really easy [17:17] <_antant> "Welcome to your /n home theatre" [17:17] <_antant> Score! [17:18] <_antant> Now I've just gotta get the volume know working [17:18] <_antant> Oh [17:18] <_antant> It does! [17:18] <_antant> linux rocks [17:29] congrats _antant.. welcome to the club. Isn't it nice to be able to fix things without reformatting? [17:31] <_antant> damn straight it is [17:31] _antant: Please watch your language. [17:31] <_antant> ohffs [17:32] <_antant> My language is fine, Zinn you bell end [17:32] Hi _antant, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [17:32] <_antant> I hate you [17:32] hah. [17:32] <_antant> Any cool ideas for things to do with my newly working VFD? [17:33] I don't even know what is possible [17:33] <_antant> me either [17:33] displaying the name and progress bar of the currently watched show? [17:33] I know the name should work [17:33] but the progress bar would be cool. [17:33] !language | _antant [17:33] _antant: Please follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and watch your language.

[17:35] _antant, I wouldnt mess with rhpot1991 [17:35] <_antant> Progress bar's not a bad idea at all! [17:35] _antant: he is a bot, and I'm not gonna type all that out its easier to tell him to say it to you [17:35] anyways, language here should be family safe, please try to follow the rules [17:35] <_antant> well that d word that I've used a few times is hardly swearing [17:36] _antant: the point being you have no idea the age of people in here [17:36] tgm4883 might be 3 years old, we don't want him hearing that [17:37] <_antant> Coochie coo! [17:37] whaaaaaaa! [17:37] <_antant> lol [17:37] me hungry [17:37] <_antant> not me. [17:37] I just had nachos [17:37] see now you upset baby tgm4883 :) [17:37] <_antant> I've eaten 2 easter eggs [17:37] <_antant> They were buy 1 get 2 free [17:38] I just had a conf call with people that don't listen :( [17:38] isn't it a bit early for easter? [17:38] tgm4883: welcome to life [17:38] i got my mythtv setup working BEAUTIFULLY [17:38] <_antant> That's why they were buy 1 get 2 free [17:38] if they dont listen, then why did you keep talking? you should have hung up.... =) [17:38] they changed a few things since i last used it which had me confused [17:38] <_antant> well don perl [17:38] _antant: last year's models [17:38] thanks [17:38] <_antant> haha! Thankfully not. [17:38] <_antant> Creme Egg ones [17:39] <_antant> so yes, I have in fact eaten 4 creme eggs and 2 easter eggs [17:39] <_antant> And I feel rather sick [17:40] <_antant> Good thing I gave one to a flatmate [17:40] <_antant> ok, I need cool things to do with my new case lcd [17:40] <_antant> Newly functioning at least [17:41] <_antant> Thanks to help from rhpot :D [17:42] _antant, lcdproc [17:42] look at my eggs... [17:42] http://gallery.amorphix.net/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3657&g2_serialNumber=1 [17:42] <_antant> I'd rather not if it's all the same [17:42] they are pretty [17:42] <_antant> I don't know whether I dare [17:42] Japanese rice eggs! [17:42] <_antant> It's not gonna be a blue waffles affair is it? [17:42] nah [17:43] <_antant> yeah, dewman, finally got it going [17:43] <_antant> and all functioning with xbmc [17:43] <_antant> Just can't think what else I'd like it to do [17:44] we could link our mythtv's together so we can watch tv without a licence? [17:44] a national network? [17:44] <_antant> Anyone listened to the new Chase & Status album? [17:44] perlmonkey: no way you'd stream content over the interweb [17:44] :( [17:44] _antant: the most useful thing for the LCD is to display whats currently recording [17:44] <_antant> Good plan [17:45] other than that its mostly useless [17:45] <_antant> Although I can't imagine I'll have much recording on it [17:45] i got a question maybe you guys can help with... [17:45] is it possible to date and time stamp video in mythtv? [17:45] in realtime on the recording [17:45] perlmonkey: videos meaning recordings? [17:45] yes [17:45] <_antant> for cctv? [17:45] ya [17:45] perlmonkey: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mythtv.org%2Fwiki%2FMythrename.pl&ei=RZqDTebQLMTUgQfvu5TBCA&usg=AFQjCNENLuiPAZtfoBztz11VyHSTuMqAxQ [17:45] [www.google.com] Mythrename.pl - MythTV [17:45] stupid google link [17:45] ooo [17:46] <_antant> I think he means hardcoding a timestamp onto the recording [17:46] actually this one: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl [17:46] [www.mythtv.org] Mythlink.pl - MythTV Official Wiki [17:47] yes actually into the video picture [17:47] i guess that is beyond mythtv capability? [17:48] <_antant> Well I would imagine it would depent on how well your pc can encode video [17:49] my PC is pretty powerful I think [17:49] it has 6gb of ram and 2.7gb cpu [17:49] perlmonkey, might ask in #mythtv-users, the devs hang out in there. [17:51] prob a user job with ffmpeg can do it for you [17:51] thanks [17:51] you are going to be doing it yourself though [17:51] right [17:51] <_antant> That's what I thought [17:51] <_antant> have a read up on ffmpeg [17:52] yes if theres a will theres a way i will read up [17:53] <_antant> mencoder can hardcode subs, so there may be something to look at there [17:58] aha thanks [18:03] old but this should get you on the right path [18:03] http://www.bernzilla.com/2008/07/09/overlaying-an-image-on-a-video-using-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu/ [18:03] [www.bernzilla.com] Overlaying an Image on a Video Using FFmpeg on Ubuntu, Bernie Zimmermann [18:03] many thanks rhpot [18:04] I was gonna say I could do the image in perl and then overlay the image [18:04] so thats perfect [20:36] hmm, mythtv seems to be upscaling content (TV always reports it is receiveing 1080p), how can I stop it doing this? [20:38] Seeker`: adjust the size in xorg [20:40] rhpot1991: any hints? I want it to play back 1080p stuff @ 1080p, but then switch to DVD resolution for DVDs [20:45] Seeker`: thats gonna be hard, there is a section in mythtv for playback size that may help [20:51] rhpot1991: whereabouts? [20:51] heh? it's pretty easy [20:52] I personally hate the mode flips though [20:54] Patrickdk: how do you do it then? [20:55] settings, playback, just like he said [20:57] which option am I looking for in the "playback" menu? [20:58] Seeker`: I'm not by my box now so you'll have to look around, but there is an area where you can specify the playback size [21:07] hmm, it looks like you have to set up specific input/output resolutions [21:07] in the "Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback" [21:07] there isn't a "just play native" option [21:09] so match the inputer and output? [21:12] rhpot1991: for every resolution ever? [21:12] Seeker`: you really only have 3 [21:12] 480, 720, 1080 [21:12] why every? [21:12] I thought it had a < and > options [21:13] <1000 use 720 [21:13] or was it in order, first match, top down, that is big enough [21:13] this may be helpful [21:13] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:JudderFree [21:13] [www.mythtv.org] User Manual:JudderFree - MythTV [21:13] rhpot1991, that is no fun [21:13] keep the manual out of it :) [21:13] Patrickdk: nope, just "choose specific resolutions", the > < thing is choosing which decoder you use [21:14] free upscaling sounds like the best solution to me then :) [21:15] rhpot1991: I have that built in to my TV :P [21:15] and it is a decent TV, so the upscaling actually works [21:16] also, the specific resolution thing doesn't seem to work for recordings, only live tv [21:16] or videos [21:16] should work for recordings [21:16] but not videos [21:16] TV reckons it is getting 1080p when I play back stuff ripped from DVDs [21:16] atleast not videos not using myth [21:17] Patrickdk: not working for recordings [21:18] I'd love to be able to use the in-TV deinterlacer too, but it seems that myth won't output interlaced stuff either [21:19] it really can't [21:19] video card can't send interlaced video normally [21:35] it shouldn't be this hard to get video output that hasn't been processed [21:35] someone really needs to mmake some PVR with myth's recording interface, but with decent input/output options
