[00:10] <Karger1978> hello
[00:10] <Karger1978> Can anyone tell me why some iso's will play out to my tv though pvr350 where as others will only play on my monitor?
[02:02] <baalsgate> hello
[02:03] <baalsgate> is there a package to install XMLTV ??
[02:03] <tgm4883_laptop> !ask | baalsgate
[02:03] <ubotu> baalsgate: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:03] <baalsgate> WTF ?
[02:03] <tgm4883_laptop> nm
[02:04] <baalsgate> ok
[02:05] <baalsgate> i need to install http://xmltv.org/wiki/ to run the new guide data grabber
[02:05] <baalsgate> but im having trouble finding the package
[02:05] <tgm4883_laptop> baalsgate, hardy or gutsy?
[02:06] <baalsgate> um 7.10 gusty ?
[02:06] <tgm4883_laptop> k
[02:06] <tgm4883_laptop> sec
[02:06] <Lossif> I am having problems with my sound not playing after my wife accidentally turned off the mythbox without shutting it down.
[02:06] <baalsgate> dose apt-get have a search ?
[02:07] <Lossif> I am running digital audio out
[02:07] <baalsgate> Lossif check dmesg ?
[02:07] <Lossif> how? sorry, sort of a noob
[02:08] <Lossif> learning this whole thing as I go
[02:08] <baalsgate> Lossif you may have a  problem with the audio module , just guessing here
[02:08] <baalsgate> try alsamixer on a shell
[02:09] <Lossif> i did that
[02:09] <baalsgate> and ?
[02:09] <Lossif> and i normally just mute everything
[02:09] <Lossif> and unmute it
[02:09] <Lossif> after a reboot
[02:09] <Lossif> and it normally fixes it
[02:09] <Lossif> but not this time
[02:10] <tgm4883_laptop> baalsgate, you need 5.51?
[02:10] <baalsgate> tgm4883_laptop 5.51 of xmltv ?
[02:11] <tgm4883_laptop> baalsgate, yes, or rather 0.5.51
[02:11] <baalsgate> tgm4883_laptop i dont know just following the requirements on http://web.aanet.com.au/auric/?q=node/14
[02:12] <baalsgate> tgm4883_laptop it does not mention version
[02:12] <tgm4883_laptop> baalsgate, 0.5.49 is available in the gutsy repos
[02:12] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo apt-get install xmltv
[02:12] <baalsgate> i did try that
[02:13] <baalsgate> and it found nothing
[02:13] <tgm4883_laptop> do you have the universe enabled?
[02:13] <baalsgate> ok maybe i used caps
[02:13] <baalsgate> its looks like its good
[02:14] <tgm4883_laptop> xmltv is in the repos in universe
[02:14] <tgm4883_laptop> you can search here if you like  http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[02:16] <dthacker> Hi:  I'm getting really intense blurry color on my latest recordings.  I don't think" I've changed any settings?
[02:17] <dthacker> what should I check.  This is only on the recordings I'm playing back on myth frontend.  The monitor is not blurry or "hot"
[02:19] <baalsgate> Lossif check your dmesg for audio driver problems
[02:21] <baalsgate> Lossif maybe ask the guys in here if there is a way to check file imtegrity of your audio modules
[02:22] <Lossif> is there a way to select all in nano?
[02:22] <baalsgate> files can be messed up with a non clean power down
[02:37] <Lossif> baalsgate: that is what I was afraid of
[02:38] <Lossif> I was thinking about just going with the 8.04 RC,  If i installed it would it keep all of my existing movies and recordings?
[03:00] <bronson> I think I have everything set up properly but when I try to Watch TV, nothing happens.
[03:00] <bronson> Tried running mythfrontend --service but nothing gets printed.
[03:00] <bronson> The back-end recognized my PVR-350.
[03:00] <bronson> Can anyone suggest something for me to check?
[03:00] <tgm4883_laptop> bronson, anything in the logs?
[03:01] <bronson> nothing in syslog.  Does myth have other logs?
[03:02] <tgm4883_laptop> /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[03:02] <tgm4883_laptop> /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
[03:02] <bronson> cool, looking
[03:02] <tgm4883_laptop> and you can also start mythfrontend from the command line and errors will be printed to the terminal
[03:02] <bronson> Hm, I did, but I didn't see any errors.
[03:03] <tgm4883_laptop> check the logs then
[03:03] <tgm4883_laptop> most specifically, the backend
[03:03] <bronson> Ya, nothing weird in frontend.
[03:05] <bronson> "Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video sources to your card's inputs?"
[03:05] <bronson> Probably!
[03:06] <bronson> Man it's tough to set up Myth.
[03:06] <tgm4883_laptop> well it's a lot easier than the early days
[03:06] <tgm4883_laptop> we can only do so much for you ;)
[03:08] <bronson> Hm...  I ran Myth a few years ago.  Doesn't seem very different to me!
[03:08] <bronson> But it's true that video hardware is just weird.
[03:09] <bronson> Not easy to autodetect and set up properly.
[04:02] <darthanubis> rhpot1991, you around?
[04:05] <darthanubis> my mythexport is not working from the job line
[04:05] <darthanubis> anyone have an idea as to why?
[04:05] <darthanubis> the dir permissions was fixed earlier
[04:05] <darthanubis> the job says completed bedore anything is done

[04:22] <MythbuntuGuest10> Hi I'm having trouble with Mythbunutu changing the order of my tuner cards when it restarts
[04:31] <TazgodX> has mythtv changed mythbrowser at all?
[04:32] <TazgodX> allow plugins?
[05:23] <johnny199> can anyone help me out with sasc?  i know there's probably no help in the chan itself for that - but can someone pm me?
[05:24] <darthanubis> !ask
[05:24] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[05:24] <darthanubis> !anyone
[05:24] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:25] <tgm4883_laptop> johnny199, no
[05:25] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis, that question won't be tolerated here
[05:25] <darthanubis> his question?
[05:25] <darthanubis> had know idea what he was asking
[05:25] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis, by that question, i'm refering to the question johnny199 posted, not your response
[05:26] <tgm4883_laptop> your response was good
[05:26] <darthanubis> oh
[05:26] <darthanubis> ;)
[05:26] <darthanubis> tgm4883_laptop, don't you know about nuvexport and mythexport?
[05:26] <johnny199> is someone willing to pm to help me with compile problems with sasc please?  Thanks
[05:27] <darthanubis> iirc you where keen on nuvexport?
[05:27] <darthanubis> johnny199, the answer was above
[05:27] <darthanubis> it was a negative
[05:27] <johnny199> well that's a shame.
[05:27] <johnny199> ha
[05:27] <tgm4883_laptop> johnny199, no, you will not receive sasc help from here.  You know that.    I need help hiding a body
[05:29] <darthanubis> lol
[05:29] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis, thats cause we ask people not to do something and they usually comply
[05:30] <darthanubis> http://pastebin.com/d7de6947c
[05:31] <darthanubis> http://pastebin.com/d1c3f1aea
[05:31] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis, is your disk full?
[05:31] <darthanubis> no
[05:34] <darthanubis> USING nice -n19 ffmpeg -i /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1044_20080421110000.mpg -acodec aac -ab 192kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 600kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+trell -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x240 '/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport/VH1---Video-Hits-One_The_Flavor_of_Love__20080421110000.mp4' 2>&1
[05:34] <darthanubis> running that without the "USING" encodes the file succesfully
[05:35] <darthanubis> but runnining from the job does not

[05:36] <darthanubis> thats the job line
[05:36] <tgm4883_laptop> yea i'm having issues too
[05:36] <darthanubis> rhpot1991, told me to add the debug
[05:36] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll grab rhpot1991 when he gets back
[05:36] <darthanubis> thx
[05:36] <darthanubis> we need a nuvexport expert here as well
[06:28] <rhpot1991> someone summoned me?
[06:29] <darthanubis> me
[06:29] <rhpot1991> anything new?
[06:30] <darthanubis> nope
[06:30] <darthanubis> the job still does not work
[06:30] <darthanubis> from cli it works perfectly
[06:31] <rhpot1991> try to run the job cli instead of just the ffmpeg command
[06:32] <rhpot1991> also when you ran the ffmpeg did you run that as mythtv?
[06:32] <darthanubis> yup
[06:32] <darthanubis> made sure to do that
[06:33] <darthanubis> can't run the job from cli because it expects to get the data from the database
[06:33] <rhpot1991> I still think its permission problems, mainly cause its acting that way
[06:33] <darthanubis> mythexport exportdir=/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=320x240 aspect=4:3 audio_bitrate=192kb video_bitrate=600kb export_device=ipod export_codec=mpeg4 debug
[06:33] <rhpot1991> but odd since you have verified mythtv can write in there
[06:33] <darthanubis> we took care of the permission issue
[06:33] <rhpot1991> run that, but get a chanid and starttime to plug into it
[06:33] <rhpot1991> and get rid of the debug
[06:34] <rhpot1991> and by run I mean run it cli not from a user job
[06:38] <Tuv0k> knew it was the job line that was failing
[06:38] <rhpot1991> giving you anything better?
[06:39] <Tuv0k> http://pastebin.com/d47fdf71
[06:39] <Tuv0k> an error
[06:39] <rhpot1991> Tuv0k: try it on a different recording
[06:39] <Tuv0k> ok
[06:40] <rhpot1991> also make sure the recording exists and works
[06:40] <Tuv0k> they do
[06:40] <Tuv0k> should they be raw?
[06:40] <Tuv0k> meaning non .nuv?
[06:40] <rhpot1991> I haven't heard otherwise
[06:40] <rhpot1991> I do mine raw
[06:40] <rhpot1991> what are yours set as?
[06:41] <Tuv0k> some are some aren't
[06:41] <Tuv0k> that one was .nuv
[06:41] <Tuv0k> I'll try a mpg
[06:44] <Tuv0k> same error
[06:45] <Tuv0k> I'll try the file that worked from the cli after the debug
[06:47] <rhpot1991> ya you should stick to one file so we can pinpoint it
[06:47] <rhpot1991> hopping all over introduces too many things that can go wrong
[06:50] <Tuv0k> that one was a mpg just for reference. Attempting to use the line now
[06:51] <Tuv0k> nope
[06:52] <Tuv0k> that sucks
[06:52] <rhpot1991> makes no sense
[06:52] <Tuv0k> I'd like to meet somene who this does work for
[06:53] <Tuv0k> I have yet to hear anyone say this works for them
[06:53] <rhpot1991> it works for me
[06:53] <rhpot1991> also I wrote it :P
[06:54] <darthanubis> argh
[06:54] <darthanubis> do we have the same ffmpeg package?
[06:55] <rhpot1991> 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7+medibuntu1
[06:55] <rhpot1991> dpkg -l ffmpeg |grep ^ii
[06:55] <rhpot1991> I'm on hardy now
[06:55] <rhpot1991> but it workes fine in gutsy as well
[06:56] <darthanubis> its the same
[06:57] <darthanubis> I'm Hardy as well
[06:57] <darthanubis> I'm 64bit though
[06:57] <rhpot1991> same here
[06:57] <darthanubis> well should I be filing a bug report?
[07:55] <TazgodX> what setting do you use if you are gonna run coax from a STB to a PVR-150? in the backend setup? its not us-bcast...i know now
[07:56] <TazgodX> and, how do i run the backend setup...again? :) its been a while since i played with this box
[08:04] <TazgodX> well i figured out the setup problem...now trying the other problem
[08:24] <TazgodX> channel frequency table is what im looking for btw...its getting late...LOL
[08:56] <sslashes> any noticable difference between kernel i/o schedulers (anticipatory, deadline, and cfq) in regards to mythtv performance?
[11:52] <Raspberry> do you think it'd help to run the server instead of the generic kernel on my backend server?
[13:26] <SiebaZ> hey guys
[13:27] <SiebaZ> im just havin some probs iństalling mythbuntu onto my hardy heron -.-
[13:27] <SiebaZ> someone here who could help me?
[13:31] <bogus-> Is mythbuntu 8.04 released at the same time as ubuntu 8.04?
[13:31] <laga> !ask
[13:31] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[13:31] <laga> bogus-: yes.. maybe a few days later, but the plan is to release the same day
[13:32] <bogus-> ah nice, then I'll wait with installing my htpc for a few more days :)
[13:32] <bogus-> thx :)
[13:33] <laga> bogus-: you can install the RC and then upgrade. (unless you use cx88-alsa, then you should wait for the final)
[13:33] <bogus-> hmm yea that's an option too ofcourse
[13:35] <laga> it's already very stable.
[13:41] <slundell> laga: a couple of friends experienced severe instability with mythtv 0.21, probably because of the multi-mux recording. I have a friends mythbuntu computer here, 2 analog v4l cards, mythbuntu 7.10. Should I upgrade to 8.04 and myth 021?
[13:41] <laga> slundell: your couple of friends need to file some bug records then :)
[13:41] <laga> slundell: never touch a running system
[13:42] <laga> if it works and if he doesn't need the new features, let it be
[13:42] <laga> (or at leas get a full backup)
[13:58] <pdragon> every time I ssh into my mythtv box, i get the list of upcoming recordings, but then it gives this message:
[13:58] <pdragon> Schedule Conflicts:
[13:58] <pdragon> Unable to access MythTV Perl API.  Try with --verbose to find out why.
[13:58] <pdragon> this is 8.04 RC
[14:12] <laga> pdragon: file a bug report
[14:12] <laga> semi-known problem, but w/o a bug report it won't be fixed
[14:13] <pdragon> k
[14:16] <pdragon> done
[14:21] <laga> yay
[14:23] <a1fa> gay
[14:24] <a1fa> how do you check release version?
[15:58] <rambo3> can i run this on my fedora?
[15:59] <Daviey> eh?]
[16:01] <rambo3> also can i use mediaportal themes on mythtv?
[16:02] <Daviey> "eh?"
[16:02] <pdragon> might want to try #mythtv-users
[16:02] <Daviey>  < rambo3> can i run this on my fedora? <--- rambo3 what is "this"?
[16:04]  * superm1 laughs at the idea of running mythbuntu on fedora
[16:04] <superm1> just run mythbuntu on its own :)
[16:08] <darthanubis> Daviey, Google Mythdora?
[16:09] <rambo3> yeah they sad in #mythtv-users that i can install ubuntu-mythtv on fedora
[16:09] <Daviey> darthanubis: willdo :/
[16:10] <darthanubis> well I guess that was for rambo
[16:10] <darthanubis> sorry
[16:12] <TazgodX> hmmm
[16:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> I don't see why you would want to do that
[16:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> seems like more of a mess than its worth
[16:13] <superm1> mythbuntu > fedora + mythtv, so maybe wants the niceities in mythbuntu to replace the !nicities in fedora + mythtv?
[16:13] <superm1> jus a hunch
[16:14] <rambo3> i am running fedora as firefox addon
[16:23] <darthanubis> "fedora as a firefox addon"?
[16:23] <darthanubis> really?
[16:24] <TazgodX> what channel frequency table do i use for coax out of a STB to the PC? and what channel do i need to be on? i had sound work for a second. and then somehow channel got changed on accident. now i can't get nothign to work with any settings
[17:20] <JDStone> hardy should be out soon, right?
[17:21] <tgm4883> JDStone, I heard rumors about thursday, but i'm not so sure
[17:22] <tgm4883> JDStone, try http://www.ubuntu.com/
[17:56] <JDStone> tgm4883: alright, thanks :)
[17:56] <JDStone> oh, der, yep, 2 days
[17:56] <JDStone> I should have looked

[18:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> I still think you have permission problems
[18:49] <darthanubis> these two issues I would greatly like solved
[18:49] <darthanubis> I still think its not possible
[18:49] <darthanubis> we've covered that, and solved it
[18:49] <darthanubis> where else would there be a permission issue?
[18:49] <darthanubis> if not the write dir?
[18:50] <darthanubis> makes no since for one ot work and not the other because of permissions
[18:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> well this is testing the perms
[18:52] <darthanubis> I'm sorry?
[18:52] <darthanubis> those permission was changed permanently
[18:53] <darthanubis> mythtv user writes freely to the export dir
[18:53] <darthanubis> if there is another dir where I need to check the perms please tell me.
[18:56] <rhpot1991_laptop> only 2 that should matter are where the file is exported to, and where the recording is stored at
[18:57] <rhpot1991_laptop> make a bash script that will run your ffmpeg line that you ran by hand, and execute that from a user job, see if that runs correctly
[19:05] <Tuv0k> http://pastebin.com/d47fdf71
[19:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> first, you are in the wrong directory, you aren't in your export direcotry (sometimes, not always, it will drop logs or temp files in there)
[19:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> 2nd running that by hand isn't testing the user job
[19:08] <MythbuntuGuest94> afternoon....i had just downloaded the iso for 8.04 RC, and it loads to the liven enviro, but with an error of unable to load HAL....i can click through the error, but when i click on the icon to isntall, the cd spins up but that's it...nothing else is going on....I was hoping someone might have a suggestion.  I am able to use the 7.10 iso without any issue.
[19:09] <darthanubis> I think both my issues have something to do with these external apps not being able to read from the database
[19:09] <darthanubis> hence the wrong file name from nuvexport, and the failure of mythexport from job level
[19:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> well mythexport can read from it, otherwise it wouldn't have any of that info
[19:09] <laga> MythbuntuGuest94: known problem with the linux-ubuntu-modules package. you'll have to install using the alternate disk or wait a few days for the final
[19:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> such as the recording location, the random info the it injects with atomicparsley
[19:10] <laga> MythbuntuGuest94: the RC alternate disk has other problems, i'm currently testing a version which should be fixed. so if you can wait a few hours..
[19:10] <darthanubis> I think I got it
[19:10] <darthanubis> maybe
[19:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> I'm telling you this looks like permissions, or you having busted recordings
[19:10] <darthanubis> the recordings themselves
[19:12] <MythbuntuGuest94> Laga: thank you very much, makes me feel a little better....I'll look into the alternate disk...this is the AMD64 version btw
[19:12] <tgm4883_laptop> darthanubis, did you grab the recordings via firewire?
[19:12] <Tuv0k> no
[19:12] <MythbuntuGuest94> laga: I can definitely wait a few hours...I'm stuck at work so i have time to waste.
[19:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> are you storing them in mpeg2 raw or what?
[19:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> thats how I do mine, never really heard of anyone doing them otherwise and having problems
[19:13] <laga> MythbuntuGuest94: if you use the RC, you'll run into the HAL problem again. you can get the iso i'm going to test now here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily/20080422/ but no guarantees it'll work
[19:13] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991_laptop, i had problems transcoding HD recordings over fire wire
[19:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> tgm4883_laptop: odd, I have done that with success
[19:14] <tgm4883_laptop> well it isn't always a problem
[19:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> might be a bad stream or something
[19:14] <tgm4883_laptop> it depends on how the show is broadcast
[19:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> then ffmpeg chokes on it
[19:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> darthanubis: do a ls -la /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg
[19:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> and then ffmpeg -i /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg
[19:14] <tgm4883_laptop> ie, when it goes to commercial, the cable company doesn't broadcast that in HD
[19:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya that happens a lot
[19:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> as far as I know this handles it ok
[19:15] <tgm4883_laptop> so there is a switch in there and mythtranscode choked on it
[19:15] <Tuv0k> as mythtv user?
[19:15] <MythbuntuGuest94> Laga:  I'll give it shot...i don't have anything to lose since it's a brand new install..nothing to wreck if I have to reinstall
[19:15] <tgm4883_laptop> but i haven't tried it in ages
[19:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> it gets screwed up if you don't have an aspect ratio set
[19:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> gets lost and sometimes scruntches things
[19:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> Tuv0k: doesn't matter
[19:19] <Tuv0k> http://pastebin.com/d4bd1c93a
[19:20] <Tuv0k> the file you called I deleted
[19:20] <Tuv0k> used another
[19:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> ls: cannot access /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1002_20080411.mpg: No such file or directory
[19:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> well you  need to test with files that exist
[19:21] <Tuv0k> so I tested with a file that exist
[19:21] <Tuv0k> as the pastebin reveals
[19:21] <Tuv0k> superm1, ??
[19:25] <rhpot1991_laptop> you should bump your capture rez to 720x480 as well, get a better picture with that
[19:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> I still think you should put that ffmpeg line in a bash script and execute it from a user job
[19:32] <Tuv0k> how will that pull the file names?
[19:32] <firewax> i need help
[19:32] <Tuv0k> !ask
[19:32] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> Tuv0k: you can hardcode the files into the ffmpeg line for the time being
[19:33] <firewax> passing a file xml to mythfilldatabase --file 0 /file.xml
[19:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> the point is to see if it runs via the user job since it seems to be running by hand
[19:34] <firewax> i cant use any grabber in my country theres no listings for local channel and i can not code a grabber cause there`s no info for the listings
[19:35] <laga> firewax: what is your country?
[19:35] <firewax> dominican republic
[19:36] <laga> i'm sure there is a website which provides EPG listings for the dominican republic?
[19:37] <firewax> the only one is tvguide
[19:37] <firewax> for international channels
[19:37] <firewax> theres nothing for local channels. i will need to write the xml on a file right?
[19:38] <laga> yeah
[19:38] <firewax> with channel info, program info etc etc etc
[19:38] <laga> well, maybe you can use one of the existing grabbers to get international channels at least?`
[19:38] <firewax> im having trouble writing that
[19:39] <firewax> yeah laga i can use the tv_grab_ar for some international channels, but what i really need its local tv
[19:40] <firewax> i have all the channels schedules in a spreadsheet
[19:40] <firewax> i need to convert it to a xml file, there`s where im having issues
[19:41] <firewax> i have read the xmltv xmlfile format and it doesnt work eighter
[19:42] <laga> if you use perl, it's very easy to write the file using the XMLTV libraries.
[19:42] <laga> reading the spreadsheet will be harder
[19:42] <laga> is it excel? or openoffice?
[19:44] <firewax> excel
[19:44] <firewax> im a perl novice
[19:45] <firewax> i can transcribe it to a text document
[19:45] <firewax> i have channel name, channel number, program, start time, stop time, program desc.
[19:45] <firewax> nothing else
[19:45] <laga> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-pexcel/ <- firewax maybe that can help you
[19:46] <firewax> thanks laga
[19:46] <laga> doesn't look too bad
[19:46] <Rimers> hi all, got a slight problem here, all dns on my mythbuntu have stopped working
[19:47] <firewax> let me find the xmltv libraries manual
[19:47] <Rimers> I can connect to it via SSH but i cant ping from it and i cant resolve dns
[19:48] <laga> firewax: man XMLTV
[19:48] <laga> firewax: where did you get that spreadsheet?
[19:50] <laga> firewax: it looks like there is also XML::Excel, not sure how suitable that is for your needs
[19:53] <firewax> i made the spreadsheet
[19:53] <famicom> I FUCKING FINALLY GOT SMOOTH 1080p HDTV PLAYBACK
[19:53] <famicom> :d

[19:57] <Rimers> got the same servers listed as im using here
[19:59] <laga> check the logs?
[19:59] <laga> firewall going nuts?
[19:59]  * laga gone to test the alternate disk
[20:14] <tgm4883> ok
[20:23] <sebrock> 2 days left right ... ;)
[20:43] <riddlebox> if I downloaded the RC yesterday, and there were issues when installing it, with HAL, is it updated today with the fix?
[20:43] <tgm4883_laptop> riddlebox, there isn't a new RC release today
[20:44] <riddlebox> dang, I was hoping on like a daily build or something
[20:45] <tgm4883_laptop> working on it ;)
[20:45] <riddlebox> ahh cool
[20:45] <tgm4883_laptop> would you like to test it?
[20:45] <riddlebox> I would
[20:45] <tgm4883_laptop> 32 or 64 bit
[20:45] <riddlebox> cause I had to do alot last night to get that RC up and I am not convinced it installed all correctly
[20:45] <riddlebox> 32
[20:45] <tgm4883_laptop> alright, let me see if i can get a link
[20:46] <riddlebox> sweet!
[20:47] <riddlebox> do you know if it has the latest v4l drivers, cause my PCTV HD PCI card works with those drivers
[20:48] <tgm4883_laptop> which card?
[20:49] <riddlebox> PCTV HD PCI card
[20:49] <riddlebox> I worked with steven toth from the linuxtv.org mailing list and we got the card working, I even have the remote working
[20:49] <tgm4883_laptop> what are the latest version drivers?
[20:50] <tgm4883_laptop> riddlebox, are you registered on freenode?
[20:50] <riddlebox> yeah
[20:50] <tgm4883_laptop> see pm
[21:01] <slundell> Are there any mythbuntu 7.10->8.04 upgrade howtos?
[21:04] <darthanubis> !upgrade
[21:04] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[21:04] <tgm4883_laptop> the official mythbuntu documentation is not ready yet
[21:08] <laga> echo "pray!" >> ~/dev/mythbuntu/documentation/upgrading.tex
[21:08] <laga> ;)
[21:10]  * rhpot1991_laptop wonders wtf is wrong with people
[21:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://www.wyff4.com/news/15948849/detail.html
[21:11] <rhpot1991_laptop> heh woops, meant the paste that in the other channel
[22:53] <riddlebox> tgm4883_laptop, you around?
[22:53] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[22:54] <riddlebox> installing now
[22:54] <tgm4883_laptop> for a few minutes anyway
[22:54] <tgm4883_laptop> i'll have to go home in about 20 minutes
[22:54] <tgm4883_laptop> hopefully sooner
[22:54] <riddlebox> I just did the standard install
[22:54] <tgm4883_laptop> <- is hungry
[22:54] <riddlebox> ahh what do you do for a living?
[22:54] <tgm4883_laptop> at school
[22:54] <riddlebox> ahh I see
[22:55] <riddlebox> do you recommend using aptitude to install any packages? or apt?
[22:55] <tgm4883_laptop> i myself use apt-get or synaptic
[22:55] <tgm4883_laptop> going home now
[22:56] <tgm4883_laptop> back in about 20 minutes
[22:57] <riddlebox> ok
[23:20] <riddlebox> ok moment of truth, lets see how the RC is doing, hopefully it is better than before
[23:23] <BobSlob> anyone experiencing horrible playback with 8.04?
[23:24] <BobSlob> the picture is "choppy" as hell on live tv
[23:24] <BobSlob> possible qt4 issue?\
[23:24] <laga> 8.04 does not have qt4
[23:25] <laga> try adjusting your deinterlacer
[23:25] <BobSlob> i see
[23:25] <BobSlob> i have... virtually every configuration possible
[23:26] <riddlebox> BobSlob, I am testing out the RC1 beta right now and just started watching a dvd it is good, and live tv was smooth with a pvr-500
[23:26] <laga> do you get hdtv? h.264?
[23:26] <BobSlob> nope.. all analog
[23:26] <BobSlob> with pvr150s
[23:27] <BobSlob> riddlebox: analog tv?
[23:27] <riddlebox> BobSlob, yes, pvr-500 is like two pvr-150's
[23:28] <BobSlob> what settings are you using?
[23:28] <riddlebox> all default
[23:28] <BobSlob> i mean, i have a c2d 2.13, 2gb ram, sataII drive, 6800gt pcie
[23:28] <BobSlob> it shouldnt be that slow -=
[23:28] <BobSlob> =D
[23:29] <tgm4883_laptop> riddlebox, pig
[23:29] <tgm4883_laptop> ping
[23:29] <riddlebox> yeah I have a 2.6ghz with 1gb ram it is working
[23:29] <riddlebox> fine
[23:29] <riddlebox> tgm4883, you want me to pm?
[23:29] <BobSlob> i've tried both the restricted and offical nvidia drivers
[23:29] <riddlebox> I am using nvidia as well
[23:31] <mxpower> hey all, i have a quick question that Im sure has been asked before, but I cant find/search for a definative answer
[23:31] <riddlebox> tgm4883, everything is working great, I did a default install, my pvr-500 is working fine, I just need to upgrade the linuxtv drivers and add the new firmware and my hd card should work
[23:32] <mxpower> is there an easy way to mount iso images through the frontend of mythtv? I have most of my dvd's backed up as iso's and wondering if this is possible without repeating command line items?
[23:32] <tgm4883_laptop> which card is it?
[23:33] <tgm4883_laptop> mxpower, use mythvideo
[23:33] <mxpower> ty, will look that up now :)
[23:34] <avon_> My Haupp. wintv-hvr-1600 works pretty well when using the latest beta cx18 drivers:  'mplayer /dev/video0' plays the analog NTSC mpeg2 stream flawlessly (both audio and video) and changing channels works with 'ivtv-tune'.  But after I configured the card on MythTV backend (on Mythbuntu along with SchedulesDirect pguide) as a PVR-x50 (as recommended by this ivtv-users mailing list posting:  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/iv
[23:34] <avon_> tv/users/37903?search_string=cx18%20mythtv;#37903 ), I am getting only video on both LiveTV and Recordings.  When I playback one of the recordings using mplayer, mplayer report that the stream has no audio.  So I'm pretty sure its got nothing to do with the volume setting.  Has anybody with a hvr-1600 experienced this?
[23:35] <avon_> * http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/37903?search_string=cx18%20mythtv;#37903
[23:37] <mxpower> tgm4883_laptop - I take it mythvideo isnt installed by default in mythtv and I need to run sudo apt-get install mythvideo ?
[23:38] <tgm4883_laptop> how did you install>
[23:38] <mxpower> mythbuntu 7.10 iso
[23:38] <tgm4883_laptop> standard install?
[23:39] <mxpower> yes
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> should be installed by default
[23:39] <mxpower> so instead of running mythtv front end, run mythvideo?
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> run the frontend
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> well
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> first
[23:39] <tgm4883_laptop> where are your dvd iso's stored?
[23:40] <mxpower> currently, they are on a separate server, but i have no problem loading them on the local share that the mythbuntu box is on
[23:40] <tgm4883_laptop> well you can share them via NFS or samba
[23:41] <mxpower> they are currently shared on a server, just dont know how to load them into mythtv
[23:41] <tgm4883_laptop> ah ok
[23:41] <tgm4883_laptop> what dir are they mounted in?
[23:41] <mxpower> would be <IP_ADDRESS>\shared\images
[23:42] <mxpower> they arent mounted, just sitting in a folder on a fileserver
[23:42] <tgm4883_laptop> are you mounting them in fstab?
[23:42] <mxpower> no
[23:42] <tgm4883_laptop> from command line?
[23:42] <tgm4883_laptop> post the command you use to mount the server share on the mythbox
[23:43] <mxpower> not mounted, was looking for a solution that i can browse to that share and just play the iso's or load the iso's
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> right
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> on the seperate server, how is it shared?
[23:43] <riddlebox> tgm4883_laptop, did you get my message
[23:43] <BobSlob> so with an nvidia card, fresh install... should i use the restricted drivers, or download envy and have it install the nvidia ones?
[23:44] <tgm4883_laptop> riddlebox, in the pm?
[23:44] <riddlebox> tgm4883_laptop, yeah
[23:44] <riddlebox> BobSlob, I used the nvidia drivers that mythbuntu had in the install
[23:45] <mxpower> tgm4883_laptop, no rush. I have a NAS (linux based) fileserver that i use to store my iso's on.
[23:45] <tgm4883_laptop> mxpower, ok genericallly, this is what you need to do.  If you need more specific instructions let me know
[23:45] <tgm4883_laptop> mxpower, the iso's need to show up in /var/lib/mythtv/videos/
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> then we will have mythvideo scan that directory for videos
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> then you will be able to just select which one to watch
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> mythvideo can handle iso's just fine
[23:46] <mxpower> perfect,i didnt know that
[23:47] <tgm4883_laptop> alternatively you can tell mythvideo to look somewhere else for the iso's but i like this way better
[23:49] <ahave> can someone remind me the location of the frontend log files?
[23:49] <tgm4883> ahave, all log files are kept in /var/log
[23:49] <ahave> tgm4883, thanks
[23:49] <tgm4883> mythtv log files are kept in a directory in there
[23:49] <avon_> ls /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log*
[23:49] <tgm4883> so /var/log/mythtv
[23:49] <tgm4883> yes

[23:53] <ahave> is there a way i can speed up the program guide browsing? i takes 10secs to change channels sometimes (not always)
[23:54] <tgm4883> avon_, at least on my screen, your link gets broken up on 2 lines and is impossible to follow
[23:55] <avon_> try: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/37903?search_string=cx18%20mythtv;#37903
[23:55] <avon_> or goto: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/  and search for "cx18 mythtv" and click the first search result


[01:03] <autumna> geirdal: it is more about people knowing what to expect. they will look for "video" not imagine the video tools are listed under '"visual" or "audio" :)
[06:01] <sakrecoer> geirdal, i'll try to remember looking up the thread were i had the same proposition as you (audio+visual) so you can read the rock sollid arguments i got against it :)
[06:02] <sakrecoer> 'i got' as in 'were given to me'
[06:03] <sakrecoer> on another tone, i dont want to ever read things like 'ubintu studio' isn't suited for profesdional work' ever again in this channel. keep that for offtopic :p
[06:03] <sakrecoer> and that goes for everyone.
[06:04]  * sakrecoer pushes the one-shot sample button that reads 'if we don't believe in our tools, who will?'
[06:06] <sakrecoer> discuss caveats, improvements, lacks, workflows as much as you want, but those statements will only result in me being triggered and rewinding my 7megaton freesoftware verses
[06:07] <sakrecoer> :)
[06:07] <sakrecoer> also, good morning
[07:01] <sakrecoer> autumna: i think i've found a good sollution for the screenshots in the feature tour.
[07:03] <sakrecoer> i'll use geirdal s images and your (autumna) mockup and put together a picture version of the feature tour and then maybe you can bounce back about what is feasible or not..
[07:04] <sakrecoer> i intend having this ready for display sometime tomorrow...
[09:18] <autumna> sakrecoer: that sounds good. let me know if you need any help. Sorry I haven't been around to get your draft stuffed into the existing layout
[18:32] <geirdal> ok I will not mention this for some time now:)
[18:32] <geirdal> sacrecoer: need anything from me?
[18:33] <geirdal> Files images or something
