[15:59] <rhpot1991> grumble, if you stuck around maybe
[17:16] <TandyUK> is there any way i can start mythfrontend without a screen, or load a virtual vnc screen to run it on??
[17:16] <TandyUK> i have my customers myth box here trying to setup mythlcdserver, but i dont have a tv to connect it to :P
[19:37] <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 ?
[19:41] <context> think ill just stick to ati
=== techmik|away is now known as techmik
[19:49] <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
[20:55] <context> i do want nvidia ?
[20:59] <rhpot1991> yes
[20:59] <rhpot1991> absolutely
[21:01] <context> nothing like vdpau for ati?
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <rhpot1991> you can post a thread in our forums for help on that too normally

[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?
[21:07] <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)
[21:08] <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 :/
[21:09] <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 problem is it gets out of date so quickly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
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <rhpot1991> wonder what your luck will be like with silent cards there
[21:14] <context> i think i might have seeon 1-2 there
[21:14] <context> will find out tonight
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <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

[21:18] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Record multiple channels from one multiplex - MythTV
[21:18] <context> :/
[21:19] <context> ill have to play around tonight. maybe get a different tuner and keep/return this one
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <context> will do. id prefer an internal card if possible. most of the things i see are external
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <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

[21:26] <context> ahh kk
[21:27] <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

[21:40] <context> rhpot1991: ahh kk advanced :x i missed that
[21:41] <context> i like living on the edge
[21:41] <context> rhpot1991: packages will support all that vdpau jazz ?
[21:41] <rhpot1991> yep
[21:42] <rhpot1991> I'd argue amd64 is the new standard anymore, but I don't know if numbers support me
[21:43] <ComradeHaz`> Hi all, is there a way to automate the scan for changes in front end media library?
[21:44] <rhpot1991> ComradeHaz`: there used to be a few methods, not sure what still works now though
