| dekarl | tgm4883: what is Ubuntu TV Testcard? | 09:39 |
|---|---|---|
| dekarl | might help to decide if one can test it ;) | 09:39 |
| dekarl | Ahh, making that line more prominent would do: layout.set_text("Welcome to Ubuntu TV Testcard.\nUse this utility to finetune your TV settings.", -1) | 09:41 |
| dekarl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115309/ trying to run it with remote X on my backend | 09:48 |

| dekarl | i first thought its a UbuntuTV Testcard, but its a Ubuntu TVTestcard ... just getting a gray screen though | 09:50 |
| n1md4 | Installed today, nicely put together. I've gone through the setup wizard, and can playback the video tests, but can't watch live tv, it says 'no tuner configured', any help please? | 16:17 |
| SteveGoodey | n1md4: You have a wintv nova-t 500? | 16:22 |
| n1md4 | Sorry, yes, I have. I've enabled the proprietory drive too, but have not yet rebooted. | 16:23 |
| n1md4 | Hey SteveGoodey thanks for replying the dev thread, it was a bit tricky for me to get it working on arch so moved to ubuntu :) | 16:24 |
| SteveGoodey | Card recognised in dmesg and firmware loaded OK? | 16:24 |
| n1md4 | dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T successfully initialized and connected. | 16:36 |
| n1md4 | dib0700: rc submit urb failed | 16:36 |
| === hpeter_ is now known as hpeter | ||
| SteveGoodey | n1md4: Have you gone through mythtv-setup? | 16:41 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: I installed Mythbuntu, activated the proprietory driver, and then launched mythtv frontend ... I guess that counts as a no? | 16:50 |
| n1md4 | I went through the setup wizard from the frontend. | 16:50 |
| SteveGoodey | No, you need to come out of the frontend and do http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtv-setup | 16:51 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Mythtv-setup - MythTV Official Wiki | 16:51 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: I don't suppose you know what the Card Type is for the Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T ? | 16:57 |
| SteveGoodey | Is that in capture card setup? | 16:59 |
| n1md4 | Yes, it is. I've read so far that Happauge cards are MPEG-2 encoder card, but then I'm unsure what to kill in the rest? | 17:00 |
| SteveGoodey | Try Card Type to "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)" | 17:01 |
| n1md4 | I can only assume Video device is /dev/dvb/adapter0 or adapter1 | 17:01 |
| n1md4 | Oo DVB device automatically appears :) | 17:02 |
| SteveGoodey | You should be able to cycle through till you find the one you want | 17:03 |
| n1md4 | bleb.org or radiotimes, for a video source? | 17:04 |
| SteveGoodey | Radio Times I use, you're UK? | 17:05 |
| n1md4 | I am. | 17:06 |
| SteveGoodey | Did you go through capture card bit ok? | 17:07 |
| n1md4 | Oh yes, I'd have thought so. The DVB DTV capture card option sounded right, and the DVB device was automatically probed. | 17:08 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: I'm now getting 'mythtv-backend respawning too fast, stopped' in dmesg | 17:33 |
| SteveGoodey | Tried a reboot?! | 17:35 |
| n1md4 | ... might as well give it a go! | 17:38 |
| n1md4 | Not cool :( http://pastie.org/4349175 | 17:41 |
| Zinn | [pastie.org] #4349175 - Pastie | 17:41 |
| n1md4 | "Could not connect to the master backend server. Is it running? Is the IP address set for it in mythtv-setpu correct" yes, and yes. | 17:42 |
| SteveGoodey | MythBackend: No valid capture cards are defined in the database. | 17:43 |
| SteveGoodey | Scheduler: Listings source 'RadioTimes' is defined, but is not attached to a card p. | 17:43 |
| SteveGoodey | Did you go through the mythtv-setup completely, that's the secret. Capture cards, Video sources, Input connections, etc.... | 17:45 |
| n1md4 | Compeletly, yes, but perhaps not correctly :\ | 17:47 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: I've got it working now, thanks for the assist. Last question though, the colours are all off. i.e. skin is light blue. What might be the problem there? | 20:29 |
| SteveGoodey | Hang on that sounds familiar. | 20:30 |
| n1md4 | I'm in the process of sourcing a card decent enough to be both moderate for gaming, and silent for htpc use. | 20:31 |
| SteveGoodey | "It seems that the Hue was up to high after the upgrade." | 20:31 |
| n1md4 | Ah ... so where can I change colour? | 20:33 |
| n1md4 | Found something here http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html I'll give it a go when I'm back on the myth box | 20:34 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR | 20:34 |
| SteveGoodey | What video, not capture card, are you using? | 20:34 |
| n1md4 | I'm unsure, how could I tell? | 20:35 |
| SteveGoodey | During playback hit 'm' to get menu, could be colour settings in there. | 20:36 |
| SteveGoodey | Did you build this system from scratch? | 20:36 |
| n1md4 | From the mythbuntu live CD. | 20:39 |
| n1md4 | The hardware is just bits I had lying around at work, that weren't being used. | 20:39 |
| SteveGoodey | No I mean hardware wise. What graphics card did you install? What card is driving the display? | 20:40 |
| dekarl | n1md4: btw, the Nova cards are all DTV receivers. The MPEG encoding happens at the broadcast centers. (opposed to Hauppauge PVR-xxx cards that are MPEG encoders) | 20:41 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: It's an integrated gigabyte graphics. | 20:43 |
| SteveGoodey | Ok. Think you need to hunt around to find a hue setting you can change. That page you mentioned suggests 'F' could be the one. | 20:45 |
| SteveGoodey | On a keyboard. | 20:45 |
| n1md4 | dekarl: Okay. I'm new to tuning card jargon. I'd read Happauge cards used MPEG card, don't know the difference between the DTV and PVR. | 20:46 |
| SteveGoodey | To find the graphics adapter it should be mentioned in dmesg. You can probably tell I'm no expert at this, just a user! | 20:47 |
| n1md4 | SteveGoodey: Thanks, I'll take look. | 20:47 |
| n1md4 | Need to go, thanks for the help. | 20:47 |
| SteveGoodey | Good luck. | 20:47 |
| n1md4 | :) | 20:47 |
| dekarl | no worries. And try /var/log/xorg.log (or similar) | 20:48 |
| dekarl | /var/log/Xorg.*.log will contain something like [ 26.412] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 210 (GT218) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0) | 20:49 |
