| TandyUK | i have my customers myth box here trying to setup mythlcdserver, but i dont have a tv to connect it to :P | 17:16 |
| context | any recommendations/prefered video cards for audio over hdmi, nvidia/ati does it really matter? or just get a resonably priced card with hdmi from one of them ? | 19:37 |
| context | think ill just stick to ati | 19:41 |
| === techmik|away is now known as techmik | ||
| rhpot1991 | context: no | 19:49 |
| rhpot1991 | nvidia | 19:49 |
| rhpot1991 | and something that does vdpau | 19:49 |
| rhpot1991 | !vdpau | 19:49 |
| Zinn | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU | 19:49 |
| context | i do want nvidia ? | 20:55 |
| rhpot1991 | yes | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991 | absolutely | 20:59 |
| context | nothing like vdpau for ati? | 21:01 |
| context | rhpot1991: can you get audio out through hdmi on nvidia cards? | 21:04 |
| rhpot1991 | yes, you will want to check for whatever specific card you get | 21:04 |
| rhpot1991 | normally the newest ones sometimes don't work | 21:05 |
| context | :/ | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | I know for a fact anything up to the gt2xx series will work very easily | 21:05 |
| context | rhpot1991: any hardware compatability list of sorts? | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | context: google is your friend normally, I'd find a card you like, check to make sure it can do vdpau | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | then google to see how hard audio over hdmi is on it | 21:05 |
| rhpot1991 | you can post a thread in our forums for help on that too normally | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | !forums | 21:06 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. | 21:06 |
| context | alright. the people at best buy are use to seeing me sit there on my ipad so it wont be a problem ;) | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | context: why best buy, amazon and newegg are most likely cheaper? | 21:06 |
| rhpot1991 | I prefer silent video cards too | 21:07 |
| context | rhpot1991: oh they are cheaper and free shipping but i have 5x 2TB drives sitting at home waiting to be used today (those were ordered on newegg) | 21:07 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dsilent%2520nvidia%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps%23%3Frh%3Di%3Aaps%2Ck%3Asilent%20nvidia%2Cp_85%3A1&tag=baablogicnet-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957 | 21:08 |
| context | myth should setup a hardware compatibility list :/ | 21:08 |
| rhpot1991 | problem is it gets out of date so quickly | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | I made this for that purpose: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/13 | 21:09 |
| Zinn | [www.baablogic.net] My MythTV Setup | www.baablogic.net | 21:09 |
| rhpot1991 | so in that amazon link the 210s will definately work with hdmi sound | 21:10 |
| context | wow. nice enclosure | 21:10 |
| rhpot1991 | you will need to google and see if the 4xx and 5xx series does, if they do I'd go witht hem | 21:10 |
| context | well it has a tv tuner list | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | ya its still good for that for sure | 21:11 |
| context | i need to see what bb has first | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | at least with BB its easy to take back if it doesn't work too | 21:11 |
| context | yeah | 21:11 |
| rhpot1991 | wonder what your luck will be like with silent cards there | 21:12 |
| context | i think i might have seeon 1-2 there | 21:14 |
| context | will find out tonight | 21:14 |
| context | rhpot1991: also can a tv tuner card at most only process 1 stream at a time (ie, must have two cards to watch and record at same time | 21:15 |
| context | rhpot1991: thnx for being so helpful. never touched myth before (obviously) gonna be setting up tonight | 21:15 |
| rhpot1991 | context: ya for the most part | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | some of the digital ones can do multirec | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | where it can record mutliple times on the same multiplex | 21:16 |
| rhpot1991 | the HDHR can do that | 21:16 |
| context | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Digital_Tuner_Cards | 21:17 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Digital Tuner Cards - MythTV Official Wiki | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | so I can record say NBC and CBS at the same time, with a single tuner | 21:17 |
| context | i got the WinTV HVR-1600. that says 1 inputs. im guessing only 1 thing at a time ? | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | context: what is your input, cable, sattelite? | 21:17 |
| context | cable | 21:17 |
| rhpot1991 | I think the hvr doesn't do multirec | 21:17 |

| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Record multiple channels from one multiplex - MythTV | 21:18 |
| context | :/ | 21:18 |
| context | ill have to play around tonight. maybe get a different tuner and keep/return this one | 21:19 |
| rhpot1991 | context: its good enough to get you started, I would consider adding a HDHR and a HDPVR at some point, both should be linked in my link I showed you earlier | 21:20 |
| rhpot1991 | the hdhr-prime that is coming out soon should be worth keeping an eye on too, as long as your cable provider plays nicely with it | 21:20 |
| context | will do. id prefer an internal card if possible. most of the things i see are external | 21:21 |
| context | rhpot1991: would you recommend ubuntu and manually install myth or just use something like mythbuntu | 21:24 |
| rhpot1991 | context: they are both the same, so whatever you want | 21:24 |
| rhpot1991 | same packages in both, mythbuntu has xfce 4 underneath, ubuntu has gnome | 21:24 |
| rhpot1991 | but the myth packages them selves are identical | 21:24 |
| context | kk | 21:24 |
| rhpot1991 | you should look at our weekly builds too | 21:25 |
| rhpot1991 | !build% | 21:25 |
| Zinn | http://smithers.mythbuntu.org/~autobuild/weekly_mythtv.txt | 21:25 |
| rhpot1991 | crap thats not it | 21:25 |

| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: I know I found it | 21:26 |
| context | ahh kk | 21:26 |
| context | was hoping for a 64bit mythbuntu :x | 21:27 |
| rhpot1991 | context: go ahead with that | 21:27 |
| context | i dont see one | 21:27 |
| context | brb | 21:27 |

| rhpot1991 | then you add the repository to get more up to date mythtv packages from us | 21:28 |
| context | rhpot1991: ahh kk advanced :x i missed that | 21:40 |
| context | i like living on the edge | 21:41 |
| context | rhpot1991: packages will support all that vdpau jazz ? | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | yep | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd argue amd64 is the new standard anymore, but I don't know if numbers support me | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | Hi all, is there a way to automate the scan for changes in front end media library? | 21:43 |
| rhpot1991 | ComradeHaz`: there used to be a few methods, not sure what still works now though | 21:44 |
| rhpot1991 | check the mailing list | 21:44 |
