[00:00:00] o_cee: anyone tried lxnays gentoo livecd? need to grow an ext3 with parted
[00:00:00] mchou: slyboots: it's locked cause you have bad permissions.
[00:00:00] slyboots: It if was bad permissions, why does xawtv work?
[00:00:00] slyboots: and tvtool, and half a dozzen other programs
[00:01:00] xris: slyboots: um, maybe because xawtv is taking control of the card?
[00:01:00] mchou: cause you run those proggies as yourself. mythbackend might not be running as yourself.
[00:01:00] slyboots: mythbackend is
[00:01:00] xris: slyboots: do you have more channels imported into myth? (aka mythfilldatabase)
[00:01:00] mchou: only way to tell is if it works as root, then you got perm problemss
[00:02:00] slyboots: Yes, The listings show up corerctly
[00:02:00] slyboots: You just cant change the channel from inside myth
[00:02:00] Shibz: will my PVR500 work with the newest knoppmyth or will I have to get the latest ivtv drivers?
[00:02:00] mchou: lol, what does the frontend and BE say when you try to change channels?
[00:03:00] slyboots: Nothing, Just wont change the channel
[00:03:00] j-rod: Shibz, I'd suggest the latest ivtv drivers
[00:03:00] xris: slyboots: `mythfrontend -v all`
[00:03:00] mchou: slyboots: only real way to diagnose the problem.....
[00:03:00] slyboots: You type in the number, it waits for a second or so, then does nothing
[00:03:00] xris: slyboots: try hitting enter after typing the number
[00:03:00] slyboots: Tried that
[00:03:00] mchou: slyboots: whe dont care what the GUI does. We want the messages.
[00:03:00] slyboots: I even ordred myth to try and tape a show that is on right now
[00:04:00] slyboots: It just started recording the pre-set channel that xawtv was last on
[00:04:00] mchou: we*
[00:04:00] xris: slyboots: frequency table set correctly? (us-cable vs us-bcast vs something-non-us?)
[00:04:00] slyboots: Yup
[00:04:00] j-rod: or some other setting in the card setup that shouldn't be there...
[00:05:00] mchou: slyboots: why dont you past output of mythfrontend.
[00:05:00] mchou: paste*
[00:05:00] slyboots: Because its about 20 pages long
[00:05:00] mchou: in pastebin.
[00:05:00] slyboots: "waiting for space on soundcard.."
[00:05:00] mchou: lol, 20 pp. long means something is screwed up.
[00:05:00] j-rod: try enabling extra audio buffering
[00:05:00] j-rod: if it isn't already
[00:06:00] j-rod: and yeah, something is wonky
[00:06:00] xris: j-rod: I get that at work, too.
[00:06:00] slyboots: Its just the smae message over and over
[00:06:00] j-rod: hm...
[00:06:00] slyboots: All to do with the soundcard
[00:07:00] slyboots: Is there a way to disable sound totaly?
[00:07:00] slyboots: (Just to remove that issue for the moment)
[00:07:00] mchou: slyboots: paste the unique commands in pastebin 'sort mesg.txt | uniq'
[00:09:00] slyboots: Its now producing the errror message :
[00:09:00] slyboots: 2005-05–12 00:07:57.420 Channel(/dev/video0): CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "A0" in the "setup" Channel Editor.
[00:09:00] mchou: That's it??
[00:09:00] slyboots: .. Several times, each message the "A0" section changes

[00:10:00] mchou: screwed*
[00:10:00] slyboots: Wtf is that ment to mean
[00:11:00] mchou: it means "take it easy"
[00:12:00] gr8nash: LOL
[00:12:00] schultmc (~schultmc@zealot.progeny.com) Quit ("Client exiting")
[00:12:00] mchou: That message is probably saying channel A0 is not set up properly in myth.
[00:12:00] slyboots: There is no Channel A0, thats just static
[00:12:00] slyboots: And it produces that message for every possabel channel on the card, Im rerunning mythtv-setup, but I dont see how it will help
[00:13:00] mchou: heh.
[00:14:00] mchou: all you Europeans have funky channel assignments.
[00:14:00] mchou: need to read the European myth HOWTO :)
[00:14:00] slyboots: What european myth howto?
[00:15:00] mchou: slyboots: eurpeans need to use the channel editor in myth, iirc.
[00:16:00] slyboots: I would if it made any sence
[00:16:00] slyboots: There is no area to add a channel reference
[00:16:00] mchou: huh????
[00:16:00] j-rod: xris, crap, now they want to do conditional rewriting, sending it to a different location if $1 is empty. :)
[00:16:00] j-rod: shoulda just kept quiet.
[00:16:00] mchou: j-rod: what are you referring to?
[00:17:00] j-rod: some mod_rewrite stuff to redirect urls and parameters. :)
[00:17:00] mchou: ahh....
[00:17:00] j-rod: xris is my web programming manual

[00:20:00] slyboots: that supposed to happen?

[00:21:00] slyboots: Bless the good god its working!!
[00:21:00] slyboots: Ish, the listings are wrong..
[00:23:00] xris: j-rod: that's not too hard.
[00:24:00] Hamstaman (~Hamstaman@p5089DF6E.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:24:00] xris: anyone here ever mess with winmyth?
[00:24:00] ZMorek: when I boot, mythfrontend doesn't detect the backend as running, so I exited, and checked the status of it, it says "mythbackend dead but pid file exists"
[00:25:00] Esotericisms: anyone have experience with setting up a video card for a tv without having a true s-video or rca out?
[00:25:00] tuxristo: xris, just googled for it, god it's ugly eh
[00:26:00] xris: tuxristo: yes. but it supposedly works. I can't get it to work, though. keep getting "unknown codec" errors.
[00:26:00] j-rod: xris, yeah, I think I have a functional rule pairing
[00:26:00] ** slyboots is tempted to write his own Howto for myth **
[00:26:00] slyboots: For us poor Euro bastards
[00:26:00] kormoc: go for it
[00:26:00] ** j-rod was tempted, and look at all the trouble it got him into... **
[00:27:00] xris: slyboots: jarod usually happily takes additions to his guide
[00:27:00] j-rod: though he hasn't had much time to work in anything new lately
[00:27:00] Esotericisms: anyone have experience with setting up a video card for a tv without having a true s-video or rca out? ...?
[00:27:00] ** slyboots nods "I just need to get Audio working, not sure quiet whats going wrong there just yet **
[00:28:00] xris: irc needs an in-sentence /me equivalent.
[00:28:00] slyboots: But just getting myth to work was a hell of a lot more work than it realy should have been
[00:28:00] j-rod: xris, I'm chaining off the HTTP_HOST rule and then looking for a null QUERY_STRING, and then forwarding to one url, then the next rule set is the original one
[00:28:00] slyboots: Mostly down to just daft mistakes
[00:28:00] tuxristo: xris, what codec did you install?
[00:28:00] j-rod: sound about right?

[00:30:00] j-rod: er, wait, can I chain RewriteCond ?... (thinking outloud)
[00:30:00] xris: but I'm wondering if maybe the machine is missing the mpeg2 codec
[00:30:00] slyboots: And thats the channels listed right :)
[00:31:00] ** j-rod goes to read some more exciting info about mod_rewrite **
[00:31:00] slyboots: Now for the audio.. Hmm.
[00:31:00] ** slyboots fetches a stick **

[00:33:00] slyboots_: Weird thing is, even if I plug the headphones into the back of the TV card, I still get no audio
[00:33:00] j-rod: oh, duh, okay, chain is for RewriteRule, just put another Cond, and they default to AND

[00:37:00] Shibz: does anyone know how to get the PVR 500 tuner to work on knoppmyth R5A15?
[00:37:00] Shibz: I found a guide for R5A12, but I can't get it to work with R5A15
[00:38:00] maddhaggis (~gbrite@ip68-13-203-45.hr.hr.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:38:00] xris: Shibz: you have to compile your own driver
[00:38:00] maddhaggis: Hello all
[00:38:00] Shibz: I compiled the newest ivtv driver
[00:39:00] Shibz: but it still won't work
[00:39:00] xris: Shibz: doesn't work how?
[00:39:00] xris: crashes?
[00:39:00] xris: does "cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg" work?
[00:40:00] slyboots_: This lack of sound is disturbing
[00:41:00] kormoc: it's lord slyvader! run! run!
[00:41:00] slyboots_: ?
[00:41:00] slyboots_: I dont get it
[00:41:00] kormoc: in starwars, vader says, I find your lack of faith distrubing
[00:41:00] j-rod: heh, I do
[00:41:00] kormoc: you reminded me of it :P
[00:41:00] slyboots_: Ahh, I see
[00:41:00] Shibz: what should cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg do?
[00:41:00] ** slyboots_ uses Force choke on kormoc **
[00:42:00] ** kormoc dies. **
[00:42:00] ** slyboots_ looks unbelivably evil **
[00:42:00] Beirdo: and kormoc proves again... geeks are strange :)
[00:42:00] slyboots_: lol
[00:42:00] j-rod: Shibz, you likely need to yank the tveeprom, tuner and msp3400 modules from the main kernel tree so the ivtv-provided ones get used instead
[00:42:00] ** kormoc laughs **
[00:42:00] Beirdo: it's so fun being a geek
[00:42:00] kormoc: indeed
[00:44:00] Shibz: I did move the msp3400 and tuner modules
[00:44:00] jemarcks: Anybody have a working mythtvburn or some such script?
[00:44:00] Shibz: but not the tveeprom
[00:44:00] j-rod: Syth is mostly very nice looking...
[00:44:00] Shibz: all I get is static when I try to watch tv
[00:44:00] j-rod: get tveeprom out of there too, if you have an older one running, it probably didn't pick up and set the right tuner

All other HD and Digital channels are fine though....Any thoughts?
[00:48:00] slyboots_: Well, Im tired

[00:50:00] Shibz: I have been getting nothing but problems
[00:54:00] Shibz: can someone please help me get my pvr500 to work?
[00:54:00] Esotericisms: ok i am install knoppmyth .. enoug of this bullsh*t
[00:55:00] TheAsp: boo
[00:55:00] maddhaggis: FC3 works great :)
[00:55:00] Shibz: well, I am going to downgrade to R5A12 because I found a guide for it
[00:55:00] Agrajag-: as does debian
[00:55:00] ZMorek: in my experience knoppmyth is harder to deal with than fc3
[00:56:00] Shibz: hmmm, fc3?
[00:56:00] Shibz: i will have to try that
[00:56:00] ZMorek: that might just be my hardware tho
[00:56:00] maddhaggis: I'll second that
[00:56:00] Esotericisms: Shibz, is there much difference between 15 and 12?
[00:56:00] Shibz: I have no idea
[00:56:00] ZMorek: I used the wilsonet guide... the only problems I've come across were linux-newbie related
[00:56:00] Shibz: I just found a guide telling me exactly how to set up my tuner on 12, but not on 15
[01:00:00] mchou: maddhaggis: where do you live?
[01:03:00] Esotericisms: what card do you have?
[01:05:00] Shibz: pvr 500
[01:05:00] maddhaggis: mchou: Virginia
[01:05:00] jemarcks: mchou, howdy
[01:05:00] maddhaggis: why?
[01:06:00] mchou: maddhaggis: I bet it's acually a problem with the PBS station streams, not the HW itself.
[01:06:00] mchou: hi jemarcks
[01:06:00] j-rod: Shibz, mleh.net: cannot locate server
[01:06:00] jemarcks: mchou, do you have a working process to burn .nuv files to DVD?
[01:07:00] mchou: maddhaggis: do you have a HDTV set thant you can verify this independently?
[01:07:00] j-rod: Host mleh.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[01:07:00] maddhaggis: hmmm. but my hd sat reciever pulls them in just fine.
[01:07:00] mchou: jemarcks: nope.
[01:07:00] Shibz: hmmm, try http://216.66.12.100/~shibz/shibz/output.txt
[01:07:00] mchou: maddhaggis: those are differnt feeds.
[01:07:00] mchou: different*
[01:07:00] jemarcks: mchou, same here... im trying to get the tools together.
[01:08:00] mchou: jemarcks: I've never archived anything on TV to DVD.
[01:08:00] j-rod: Shibz, you're not using the ivtv-provided tuner module, and I see no tveeprom loading
[01:08:00] maddhaggis: nope my sat reciever has a built in OFF Air HD tuner.
[01:08:00] mchou: jemarcks: I just store everything on HDD.
[01:08:00] j-rod: Shibz, though I do see it picking out the right tuner type
[01:09:00] maddhaggis: I don't use the sat part... I don't even own a dish.
[01:09:00] j-rod: but with the v4l tuner module you're loading, its incorrectly picking up the radio tuner at 0060 as the tv tuner, which is why you get static
[01:09:00] Shibz: aah
[01:09:00] j-rod: add an 'options tuner add=0x61' to your module params to fix that
[01:10:00] j-rod: er, 'options tuner addr=0x61'
[01:10:00] mchou: maddhaggis: hmm, then that's a mystery.....
[01:10:00] j-rod: I've got both a D292 and D492 PVR-500 working just fine
[01:10:00] mchou: j-rod: what does that option do?
[01:10:00] shadbash (~shadbash@cpe-24-165-12-189.san.res.rr.com) Quit ("Leaving")
[01:11:00] maddhaggis: mchou: do you think I could have a PIDS conflict?
[01:11:00] mchou: PIDS?? what's that?
[01:12:00] DarkBeer_: so fc3 over knoppmyth? I haven't been able to get my pvr350 running reliably in knopp. any reason to believe it will be better in fc3? keep running into issues where livetv locks up
[01:12:00] j-rod: tells the tuner module that the tuners are at i2c address 0x61
[01:12:00] j-rod: the radio tuner on the 500 is on the first i2c bus at 0x60, and gets falsely grabbed as the tv tuner
[01:13:00] maddhaggis: also channel 15_2 seems to come in slower.... like a 45 record played at 33 speed.
[01:13:00] maddhaggis: mchou: check out http://www.xmission.com/~pchdtv/forum/viewtopic.php?t=688
[01:13:00] mchou: j-rod: hmm, interesting. what's the i2c address for the m179 tuner?
[01:14:00] j-rod: I don't recall, its either 0x61 or 0x60...
[01:14:00] j-rod: btw, I tried putting my m179 in my dev box w/a 500, and the thing won't even boot... :(
[01:14:00] xris (~xris@dsl254-022-032.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net) Quit ("Download Gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/")
[01:14:00] j-rod: So I have to juggle some hardware again to even be able to play with it.
[01:14:00] j-rod: :S
[01:15:00] mchou: j-rod: heh :)
[01:15:00] j-rod: not even POST
[01:15:00] mchou: hmm???
[01:15:00] j-rod: (dev box is an older dual PIII board)
[01:15:00] mchou: nah, sounds like an unseated card......
[01:16:00] j-rod: oh, it was seated
[01:16:00] Shibz: k, i added that addr thing, hope it works
[01:16:00] j-rod: I moved it around from slot to slot, pulled cards one by one to see if it just didn't like the other cards with it, etc
[01:16:00] maddhaggis: j-rod: I had the same problem.
[01:16:00] j-rod: the notches on the m179 are different than the 500, I forget what the hell they all mean
[01:17:00] mchou: weird. I put my m170 w/150, it boots ok.
[01:17:00] j-rod: probably like a 3.3v pci card, and the board will only take 5v, or somethin'
[01:17:00] maddhaggis: j-rod: what mobo are you using?
[01:17:00] j-rod: an old Asus P2B-DS
[01:17:00] maddhaggis: I use a Asus SK8V.
[01:17:00] maddhaggis: Same issue
[01:18:00] Shibz: nope, that addr line still gives static
[01:18:00] j-rod: Shibz, updated log dump?
[01:18:00] Shibz: 1 sec
[01:19:00] maddhaggis: I called hauppague, they said it was a hardware latency problem and that I would have to wait for Asus to release a new bios to fix it.
[01:19:00] mchou: lol!!
[01:19:00] maddhaggis: They are working on it though
[01:19:00] mchou: maddhaggis: who, asus or hauppauge?
[01:19:00] Shibz: ok, its updated
[01:20:00] maddhaggis: both, jointly
