[05:10] <quentusrex_> What is it called when you are missing a X pixel border around the entire screen?
[05:11] <mrand> quentusrex_: overscan?
[05:12] <quentusrex_> thanks.
[05:39] <Shiggitay|MythTV> hello
[05:39] <Shiggitay|MythTV> anyone around?

[05:39] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[05:39] <Shiggitay|MythTV> heh

[05:40] <Shiggitay|MythTV> heh
[05:42] <Shiggitay|MythTV> K so here's my issue: I have Mythbuntu (latest) installed into a VM, and I have a GTX 460 1GB GPU. Is it possible for Virtualbox to use the 128 MB of video ram I assigned to the VM natively? Would I need to consult someone from the Virtualbox iRC channel for such a thing?
[05:43] <Shadow__X> Shiggitay|MythTV: are you referring to using vdpau? if so afaik vdpau needs direct access to the video card at which point that would not work
[05:43] <Shadow__X> at the very least watching video through a vm has not been as fluid as native atleast for me
[05:43] <Shiggitay|MythTV> Shadow__X, hmm even though I have 3D acceleration on in the VM?
[05:44] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I have an i5 2500k, with two of its cores assigned to the VM and it runs pretty well
[05:44] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I'd think that it'd be a limitation of VBox not passing the GPU to the VM properly
[05:45] <Shadow__X> the thing is
[05:45] <Shadow__X> for vdpau to work you need nvidia drivers
[05:45] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I have those installed
[05:45] <Shiggitay|MythTV> at least I think I have what I need
[05:45] <Shadow__X> and the vm sees the video card? open up nvidia-settings
[05:46] <Shadow__X> or control panel whatever its called
[05:46] <Shiggitay|MythTV> yeah
[05:46] <Shiggitay|MythTV> well
[05:46] <Shiggitay|MythTV> it says that I'm not running the Nvidia X driver
[05:46] <Shiggitay|MythTV> lemme install that
[05:46] <Shadow__X> maybe i am not explaining it well enough
[05:47] <Shadow__X> sure a vm will have some acceleration
[05:47] <Shadow__X> but its not native performance. Also afaik the virtual machine will not have direct access to the video card like it would natively. For a hard drive you can give a vm direct access but for video its a bit different
[05:48] <Shiggitay|MythTV> so it's not currently possible?
[05:48] <Shiggitay|MythTV> >_>
[05:48] <Shadow__X> for vdpau afaik it will not work in a vm
[05:48] <Shiggitay|MythTV> hmm
[05:48] <Shadow__X> i am by no means an expert but thats just from what i gather
[05:49] <Shadow__X> you do not need vdpau for mythtv though as you can use the cpu to watch videos
[05:49] <Shadow__X> as a general rule of thumb though it would appear using mythtv within a vm is looked down upon
[05:49] <Shadow__X> if you are running windows there are native builds
[05:50] <Shadow__X> there are also native builds for osx
[05:50] <Shadow__X> so in all reality there really isnt much of a reason to run mythtv in a vm as there should be a native build for your os
[05:50] <Shiggitay|MythTV> yeah but I've heard that the Windows builds are super limited compared to the OS X and Linux ones
[05:50] <Shadow__X> well i use all three builds
[05:50] <Shiggitay|MythTV> hmm
[05:51] <Shiggitay|MythTV> where can I find the latest Windows build?
[05:51] <Shadow__X> and watching recordings from the end user perspective is all about the same
[05:51] <Shiggitay|MythTV> and is a 64 bit version available?
[05:51] <Shadow__X> the wiki has that info and i am not too sure of there being a 64bit version
[05:51] <Shiggitay|MythTV> ok
[05:52] <Shadow__X> also i have to note the windows builds are from a user
[05:52] <Shadow__X> just thought i would mention that
[05:52] <Shadow__X> he does not have any affiliation with mythtv
[06:03] <Shiggitay|MythTV> Shadow__X, yeah I found it
[09:49] <rileyp> Id like to lock cpu freq in lucid no desktop being used
[10:30] <qwebirc89376> Hi all, I have a Pinnacle PCTV 110i card, I am not able to configure my mythbuntu to watch live tv
[10:30] <qwebirc89376> can somebody help me
[10:32] <qwebirc89376> here is the log
[10:32] <qwebirc89376> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/iMD7wYa9
[10:32] <Zinn> [mythbuntu.pastebin.com] Gathered following logs [10:34] <qwebirc89376> nobody ?
[10:35] <rileyp> what is issue?
[10:35] <qwebirc89376> not able to play live tv
[10:37] <qwebirc89376> I guess this what is causing the issue
[10:37] <qwebirc89376> format_to_mode() does not recognize V4L1
[10:37] <rileyp> Either the server is down or the master server settings
[10:37] <rileyp> 			in mythtv-settings does not contain the proper IP addres
[10:37] <rileyp> is it a combined be -fe
[10:37] <qwebirc89376> the address is 127.0.0.1
[10:37] <qwebirc89376> yes
[10:38] <rileyp> tuner added and source and input mapped to source and tuner card
[10:38] <rileyp> and ch scan performed
[10:38] <rileyp> ???
[10:38] <qwebirc89376> yes
[10:38] <rileyp> and its worked in past?
[10:38] <qwebirc89376> never
[10:39] <qwebirc89376> and i am using mythbuntu 11.04
[10:39] <rileyp> are you running samba or nfs sharing on the recordings dir
[10:39] <qwebirc89376> windows media center is working fine
[10:39] <qwebirc89376> oops, none
[10:40] <rileyp> It appears that your backend may be misconfigured.  Check your backend logs to determine whether your capture cards, lineups, channels, or storage configuration are reporting errors.  This issue is commonly caused by failing
[10:40] <qwebirc89376> Do I need samba, even if I am running both frontend and backend on the same machine ?
[10:41] <rileyp> no you dont
[10:41] <rileyp> it can cause problems thats why i asked
[10:41] <qwebirc89376> hmm
[10:41] <rileyp> is it a dvbt card
[10:42] <qwebirc89376> idlely what should be my storage location ?
[10:42] <rileyp> is it supported by linux
[10:42] <qwebirc89376> its a analogue TV tuner PCI card
[10:42] <qwebirc89376> it is Pinnacle PCTV 110i, yes it is supported, I can watch tv using tvtime
[10:43] <rileyp> stoareg dir must be wrteable by mythtv and readble by others chown mythtv:mythtv recordingsdir
[10:43] <qwebirc89376> ok
[10:43] <rileyp> and chmod 755 recordings dir
[10:44] <qwebirc89376> ok, will try that
[10:44] <qwebirc89376> can I run those command against my home dir ?
[10:44] <rileyp> rec dir can be anywhre but perferably not on OS partition in case you fill it up and os will crash and mysql wil fall over and everything goes bad very fast
[10:45] <rileyp> no else you never be able to put files in it download anything etc as mythtv is owner
[10:45] <rileyp> not you
[10:46] <qwebirc89376> ok, there one more folder under home dir
[10:46] <qwebirc89376> called mythtv
[10:46] <qwebirc89376> it has the permission you mentioned, I will try and point my storage to that and see
[10:47] <rileyp> are u using mythbuntubunu
[10:47] <rileyp> if so just use /var/lib/mythtv/recordings
[10:48] <qwebirc89376> yes
[10:48] <rileyp> its default and works but beware fill your o/s partition and all hell will break losse
[10:48] <Zinn> rileyp: Please watch your language.
[10:48] <qwebirc89376> I am using mythbuntu 11.04
[10:51] <qwebirc89376> hmm
[10:51] <qwebirc89376> now atleast I can go inside watch tv
[10:51] <qwebirc89376> but I see only a blank screen
[10:52] <qwebirc89376> shall I paste the log ?
[10:56] <qwebirc89376> need to reboot my machine, will be back soon
[10:57] <qwebirc89376> thanks for all your support
[10:57] <rileyp> np
[11:10] <shiggity> hello again
[11:11] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I couldn't get the Windows version of MythTV running, so I'll stick with my Mythbuntu VM... but I have another issue:
[11:13] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I can't seem to get MythTV to show recordings in the frontend app, but the files are indeed there... I made a custom folder: /home/shiggity/recordings and I ran the backend setup to reflect the change...
[11:15] <rileyp> using mythbuntu in a vm lol just jump and never turn back
[11:16] <Shiggitay|MythTV> :P it works
[11:16] <Shiggitay|MythTV> all I really need it to do is act as a server to record TV
[11:16] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I can't get the frontend to populate the files that undoubtfully being created in the dir specified
[11:17] <Shiggitay|MythTV> that are*
[11:18] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I can get it to do it sometimes...
[11:18] <Shiggitay|MythTV> I dont' have the transcode jobs on
[11:18] <Shiggitay|MythTV> as to delay them showing up
[11:21] <Shiggitay|MythTV> anyone?
[11:32] <qwebirc8522> does anyone able to run use live tv on mythbuntu 11.04 ?
[11:34] <qwebirc8522> any help ?
[11:36] <rileyp> so ur back
[11:36] <rileyp> so is it a dvbt card
[11:37] <rileyp> yes no
[11:37] <rileyp> qwebirc8522,  u ther
[11:38] <rileyp> This issue is commonly caused by failing to complete all setup steps properly
[11:38] <rileyp> 1 add tuner card
[11:39] <rileyp> create video source eg FTA free to air
[11:39] <rileyp> 3 create input using tuner card and video source FTA and then do a channel scan
[11:40] <rileyp> after channel scan is complet attempt to play live tv
[11:41] <rileyp> or try to record and play back a recording if recordings work and live tv does not you have a special issue

[11:56] <qwebirc8522> I have been doing everything you just said
[11:57] <qwebirc8522> I guess the issue is with the kernel 2.6.38
[11:57] <qwebirc8522> which removed support for v4l completely
[11:58] <qwebirc8522> when I start a scan I get this error "format_to_mode() does not recognize V4L1"
[12:00] <qwebirc8522> can I know what you mythtv setup

[12:13] <qwebirc8522> thanks
[12:13] <rileyp> Ive nver used an analogue tuner always dvb
[12:14] <qwebirc8522> whats the difference ?
[12:14] <rileyp> it does say tuner 2 thoug so have you removed the card and replaced it ?
[12:14] <rileyp> back in again

[12:15] <rileyp> well all mine are digital
[12:15] <qwebirc8522> hmmm
[12:16] <qwebirc8522> digital cards don't work in india
[12:16] <qwebirc8522> were are still in analog trasmission era
[12:16] <qwebirc8522> as per television broadcast is concern
[12:17] <rileyp> dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer. when I read this in dmesg I know my tuner cad is ready to rock and roll
[12:18] <qwebirc8522> hmmm
[12:18] <rileyp> your is anaolg not dvb not mpeg and coulndt see a device id
[12:19] <qwebirc8522> for my card device id should saa7133[0]
[12:19] <qwebirc8522> or video1
[12:19] <rileyp> it does say that
[12:20] <rileyp> does it do the cahannel scan?
[12:20] <qwebirc8522> can just let me know your kernel and mythtv version
[12:20] <rileyp> channel scan?
[12:20] <qwebirc8522> yeah, it says it is scanning
[12:20] <qwebirc8522> but for every channel the signal strength is 99%
[12:20] <rileyp> Does it find any channels or you atatched to stick for antenna
[12:21] <qwebirc8522> it is pluged to cable tv
[12:21] <qwebirc8522> analog one, without and settop box
[12:21] <rileyp> try lucid then but I dont think it wil fix your problem
[12:21] <qwebirc8522> hmm
[12:22] <qwebirc8522> and wht version of mythtv are you using ?
[12:22] <rileyp> myth has worked for me since jaunty all tuners 0.21 tru to 0.24 fixes
[12:22] <rileyp> act 0.20 through to .24 fixes
[12:23] <qwebirc8522> hmm, ok I will switch to lucid and see
[12:23] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: thanks for all your support
[12:23] <rileyp> Ive never seen error in dmesg though like yours Id try running update or and dilay build and see what happens before lucy
[12:23] <rileyp> that mythbuntu daily builds
[12:23] <rileyp> its ok
[12:24] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: its ok, I will switch to lucid and see
[12:24] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: I am most certain, that the issue is with the kernel not supporting v4l v1 any more
[12:25] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: and mythtv still uses it
[12:25] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: anyway thanks a ton, will be right back again, with lucid install ;)
[12:26] <qwebirc8522> rileyp: see ya :)
[21:31] <pladijs> trying to configure alsa... but where have the config files gone? Trying to keep alsa from upsampling 44.1->48khz (given that my nos dac works at 44.1).
[21:37] <pladijs> is it true what i read here, that alsa configuration tools were removed to encourage pulseaudio? http://wiki.marklesh.com/How-to/Asoundconf
[21:37] <Zinn> [wiki.marklesh.com] How-to/Asoundconf - Lesh's BrainDump
[21:39] <pladijs> it seems absurd that i need to install non standard stuff just to be able to configure an audio device; especially on this distro, no?
