rhpot1991yuki-onna: what are you trying to do now?17:34
yuki-onnasetting up the channels and such, also maybe make it a front end if needed but able to make it a backend if i use my apple tv or something as a front end17:35
rhpot1991channel setup is done in mythtv-setup17:40
rhpot1991I17:40
rhpot1991I'd recommend running a frontend on the same box as you get things setup17:40
rhpot1991and then moving to additional frontends after that17:40

yuki-onna"xprop: unable to open display"17:44

rhpot1991try to restart and see if that helps, while the tv is left on18:20
yuki-onnashould have been18:20
yuki-onnacan try changing monitors too18:20
rhpot1991if that doesn't work try another vga cable18:20
rhpot1991some of them suck at sending signals back18:20
rhpot1991or try hdmi or dvi18:21
rhpot1991I get the same error if my receiver is not turned on and I boot18:21
rhpot1991cause it tries to detect the monitor and gets no response18:21

noaXesshey all..18:40
noaXess i use 0.24-fixes and the xml grabber tv_search_ch.. and have some character issues with äöü... if i run the xml grabber manually, the xml output seems correct and with this encoding: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>..18:41
noaXessbut in the mythtv database i see ü like für18:42
noaXessinstead of für18:42

yuki-onnapre booting yields the same result cannot open18:58
yuki-onnaif i can get some solder and fix something i would be able to do a dvi connection on something.19:07
msaulI have a question regarding error with JpegImagePlugin.py file for mytharchive, if anyone can help19:37
msaulI get Line 425 in _save19:38
msaulraise IOERROR "cannot write mode %s as JPEG" im.mode19:38
rhpot1991yuki-onna: try a different cable first19:39
rhpot1991the alternate is to create your xorg configuration yourself instead of letting it auto detect19:39
msaulSorry, not certain how X -configure relates to mytharchive (mythburn error)...19:40
msaulunless that message is not for me :)19:41
