[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] <dewman> =)
[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] <tgm4883> _antant_, you should only need to do a ln -s once
[00:35] <_antant_> really?? Oh, excellent!
[00:35] <tgm4883> yep
[00:36] <tgm4883> the source mount point still needs to exist thoug
[00:36] <_antant_> ok, how do I un ln?
[00:36] <tgm4883> ie. if it is a network mount point
[00:36] <tgm4883> 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
[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] <knp2> 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] <knp2> disregard the question... I got it!!!
[02:46] <knp2> the solution was to edit the wireless connecting and check "available to all users"
[06:51] <_antant_> anyone got samba sharing working?
[08:58] <perlmonkey> good morning everyone
[08:58] <perlmonkey> if anyone needs any help setting up MythTV and understanding it's many quirks, I'm on your man
[10:59] <perlmonkey> tis cold
[11:35] <myco> nah - lovely
[11:52] <perlmonkey> where you at
[11:52] <perlmonkey> im freezing my nuts off had to put the heating on
[11:52] <perlmonkey> my hands are finally thawing out but tingling
[12:15] <_antant> Yay for online scratch cards!
[12:19] <_antant> Boo to online scratch cards!
[12:27] <perlmonkey> got my CCTV cam working finally on myth
[12:27] <perlmonkey> now the TV licence goons can't get me
[12:39] <perlmonkey> http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/1790/mythcctv.jpg
[14:42] <perlmonkey> mythtv is cooool
[15:15] <_antant> agreed
[15:16] <_antant> I'm about to set up front ends on my 2 flatmates' machines. TV for everyone!
[15:17] <perlmonkey> :D
[15:17] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> wow
[15:20] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> what do you say to him
[15:21] <perlmonkey> oh
[15:21] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> :D
[15:21] <_antant> I have to recommend 3d porn
[15:57] <_antant> Anyone got the VFD on an Antec Fusion working?
[16:04] <rhpot1991> once upon a time I did
[16:04] <rhpot1991> _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] <rhpot1991> http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/6
[16:08] <_antant> that
[16:08] <Zinn> [www.baablogic.net] Karmic Antec Fusion VFD | www.baablogic.net
[16:08] <rhpot1991> 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] <rhpot1991> 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] <rhpot1991> _antant: where did you install lcdproc from?
[16:21] <_antant> got the 0.5.4 drivers from the website
[16:22] <rhpot1991> you should be installing things from apt if they exist
[16:22] <rhpot1991> sudo apt-get install lcdproc
[16:23] <rhpot1991> or use aptitude, or software center, or whatever else you are comfortable with
[16:23] <rhpot1991> 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] <rhpot1991> 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] <rhpot1991> 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> Zinn, I hate you with a passion that could burn for a thousand years
[16:30] <Zinn> 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!

[17:08] <rhpot1991> _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] <chiluk> 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> ohffs
[17:32] <_antant> My language is fine, Zinn you bell end

[17:32] <_antant> I hate you
[17:32] <chiluk> hah.
[17:32] <_antant> Any cool ideas for things to do with my newly working VFD?
[17:33] <chiluk> I don't even know what is possible
[17:33] <_antant> me either
[17:33] <chiluk> displaying the name and progress bar of the currently watched show?
[17:33] <chiluk> I know the name should work
[17:33] <chiluk> but the progress bar would be cool.

[17:35] <dewman> _antant, I wouldnt mess with rhpot1991
[17:35] <_antant> Progress bar's not a bad idea at all!
[17:35] <rhpot1991> _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] <rhpot1991> 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] <rhpot1991> _antant: the point being you have no idea the age of people in here
[17:36] <rhpot1991> tgm4883 might be 3 years old, we don't want him hearing that
[17:37] <_antant> Coochie coo!
[17:37] <tgm4883> whaaaaaaa!
[17:37] <_antant> lol
[17:37] <tgm4883> me hungry
[17:37] <_antant> not me.
[17:37] <dewman> I just had nachos
[17:37] <rhpot1991> 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] <tgm4883> I just had a conf call with people that don't listen :(
[17:38] <rhpot1991> isn't it a bit early for easter?
[17:38] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: welcome to life
[17:38] <perlmonkey> i got my mythtv setup working BEAUTIFULLY
[17:38] <_antant> That's why they were buy 1 get 2 free
[17:38] <dewman> if they dont listen, then why did you keep talking? you should have hung up.... =)
[17:38] <perlmonkey> they changed a few things since i last used it which had me confused
[17:38] <_antant> well don perl
[17:38] <rhpot1991> _antant: last year's models
[17:38] <perlmonkey> 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] <dewman> _antant, lcdproc
[17:42] <perlmonkey> look at my eggs...
[17:42] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> they are pretty
[17:42] <_antant> I don't know whether I dare
[17:42] <perlmonkey> Japanese rice eggs!
[17:42] <_antant> It's not gonna be a blue waffles affair is it?
[17:42] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> we could link our mythtv's together so we can watch tv without a licence?
[17:44] <perlmonkey> a national network?
[17:44] <_antant> Anyone listened to the new Chase & Status album?
[17:44] <rhpot1991> perlmonkey: no way you'd stream content over the interweb
[17:44] <perlmonkey> :(
[17:44] <rhpot1991> _antant: the most useful thing for the LCD is to display whats currently recording
[17:44] <_antant> Good plan
[17:45] <rhpot1991> other than that its mostly useless
[17:45] <_antant> Although I can't imagine I'll have much recording on it
[17:45] <perlmonkey> i got a question maybe you guys can help with...
[17:45] <perlmonkey> is it possible to date and time stamp video in mythtv?
[17:45] <perlmonkey> in realtime on the recording
[17:45] <rhpot1991> perlmonkey: videos meaning recordings?
[17:45] <perlmonkey> yes
[17:45] <_antant> for cctv?
[17:45] <perlmonkey> ya
[17:45] <rhpot1991> 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] <Zinn> [www.google.com] Mythrename.pl - MythTV
[17:45] <rhpot1991> stupid google link
[17:45] <perlmonkey> ooo
[17:46] <_antant> I think he means hardcoding a timestamp onto the recording
[17:46] <rhpot1991> actually this one: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl
[17:46] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Mythlink.pl - MythTV Official Wiki
[17:47] <perlmonkey> yes actually into the video picture
[17:47] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> my PC is pretty powerful I think
[17:49] <perlmonkey> it has 6gb of ram and 2.7gb cpu
[17:49] <dewman> perlmonkey, might ask in #mythtv-users, the devs hang out in there.
[17:51] <rhpot1991> prob a user job with ffmpeg can do it for you
[17:51] <perlmonkey> thanks
[17:51] <rhpot1991> you are going to be doing it yourself though
[17:51] <perlmonkey> right
[17:51] <_antant> That's what I thought
[17:51] <_antant> have a read up on ffmpeg
[17:52] <perlmonkey> 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] <perlmonkey> aha thanks
[18:03] <rhpot1991> old but this should get you on the right path
[18:03] <rhpot1991> http://www.bernzilla.com/2008/07/09/overlaying-an-image-on-a-video-using-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu/
[18:03] <Zinn> [www.bernzilla.com] Overlaying an Image on a Video Using FFmpeg on Ubuntu, Bernie Zimmermann
[18:03] <perlmonkey> many thanks rhpot
[18:04] <perlmonkey> I was gonna say I could do the image in perl and then overlay the image
[18:04] <perlmonkey> so thats perfect
[20:36] <Seeker`> hmm, mythtv seems to be upscaling content (TV always reports it is receiveing 1080p), how can I stop it doing this?
[20:38] <rhpot1991> Seeker`: adjust the size in xorg
[20:40] <Seeker`> rhpot1991: any hints? I want it to play back 1080p stuff @ 1080p, but then switch to DVD resolution for DVDs
[20:45] <rhpot1991> Seeker`: thats gonna be hard, there is a section in mythtv for playback size that may help
[20:51] <Seeker`> rhpot1991: whereabouts?
[20:51] <Patrickdk> heh? it's pretty easy
[20:52] <Patrickdk> I personally hate the mode flips though
[20:54] <Seeker`> Patrickdk: how do you do it then?
[20:55] <Patrickdk> settings, playback, just like he said
[20:57] <Seeker`> which option am I looking for in the "playback" menu?
[20:58] <rhpot1991> 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] <Seeker`> hmm, it looks like you have to set up specific input/output resolutions
[21:07] <Seeker`> in the "Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback"
[21:07] <Seeker`> there isn't a "just play native" option
[21:09] <rhpot1991> so match the inputer and output?
[21:12] <Seeker`> rhpot1991: for every resolution ever?
[21:12] <rhpot1991> Seeker`: you really only have 3
[21:12] <rhpot1991> 480, 720, 1080
[21:12] <Patrickdk> why every?
[21:12] <Patrickdk> I thought it had a < and > options
[21:13] <Patrickdk> <1000 use 720
[21:13] <Patrickdk> or was it in order, first match, top down, that is big enough
[21:13] <rhpot1991> this may be helpful
[21:13] <rhpot1991> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:JudderFree
[21:13] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] User Manual:JudderFree - MythTV
[21:13] <Patrickdk> rhpot1991, that is no fun
[21:13] <Patrickdk> keep the manual out of it :)
[21:13] <Seeker`> Patrickdk: nope, just "choose specific resolutions", the > < thing is choosing which decoder you use
[21:14] <rhpot1991> free upscaling sounds like the best solution to me then :)
[21:15] <Seeker`> rhpot1991: I have that built in to my TV :P
[21:15] <Seeker`> and it is a decent TV, so the upscaling actually works
[21:16] <Seeker`> also, the specific resolution thing doesn't seem to work for recordings, only live tv
[21:16] <Seeker`> or videos
[21:16] <Patrickdk> should work for recordings
[21:16] <Patrickdk> but not videos
[21:16] <Seeker`> TV reckons it is getting 1080p when I play back stuff ripped from DVDs
[21:16] <Patrickdk> atleast not videos not using myth
[21:17] <Seeker`> Patrickdk: not working for recordings
[21:18] <Seeker`> 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] <Patrickdk> it really can't
[21:19] <Patrickdk> video card can't send interlaced video normally
[21:35] <Seeker`> it shouldn't be this hard to get video output that hasn't been processed
[21:35] <Seeker`> someone really needs to mmake some PVR with myth's recording interface, but with decent input/output options
