briand: |
the capture card is a Hauppauge PVR-350 |
| [00:01:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: okay. there is a diagonal staccato pattern of alternating grey-ish snow and black. much like if your little sister turned the horizontal hold control on your television during your favorite episode of Star Trek |
| [00:02:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: awesome, thats a great special effect, I wish my card did that =P |
| [00:02:00] |
briand: |
I'll trade ya. |
| [00:02:00] |
twisted_one: |
lol |
| [00:02:00] |
twisted_one: |
sweet! |
| [00:02:00] |
Riff-Raff: |
briand, what are you feeding to the card, are you sure the input is ok |
| [00:02:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: PVR-350, correcT? |
| [00:02:00] |
briand: |
cable television feed |
| [00:02:00] |
briand: |
yes, a pvr-350 |
| [00:03:00] |
briand: |
the same cable was in the back of the tv, and looks fine. |
| [00:03:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: It sounds like the driver/firmware |
| [00:03:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: yes, i know. that'd be ivtv, yes? |
| [00:03:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: are you on that box now? or is it another box |
| [00:03:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: just go with me here =) |
| [00:03:00] |
briand: |
I'm on another box, but ssh'd into the mythtv box |
| [00:03:00] |
twisted_one: |
ok |
| [00:04:00] |
twisted_one: |
try halting the myth box, leave it of for an hour |
| [00:04:00] |
twisted_one: |
It fixed my firmware issue |
| [00:04:00] |
twisted_one: |
and it sounds like you are getting the same sort of behavior |
| [00:04:00] |
twisted_one: |
I know an hour of down time kinda sucks |
| [00:04:00] |
briand: |
are you using a pvr-350 as well? |
| [00:04:00] |
twisted_one: |
I turned mine off after I gave up for the night |
| [00:05:00] |
twisted_one: |
the next day it worked magically =P |
| [00:05:00] |
twisted_one: |
no, I am using a PVR-500, but there are many similiarites |
| [00:05:00] |
twisted_one: |
Oh, turn it off and unplug it |
| [00:05:00] |
twisted_one: |
and then give the power switch a few pushed |
| [00:05:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: I started this at 4:00pm yesterday. Stopped at 2:00am. Started again today at 10:00am. It is now 7:00pm |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
was the machine off and unplugged? |
| [00:06:00] |
briand: |
no, it was up |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
it has to be off and unplugged for the caps to drain |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
just try this for me =) |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
At best, it works, at worst, you lose an hour |
| [00:06:00] |
briand: |
true |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
I spent 13 hours working on the damn drive |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
r |
| [00:06:00] |
twisted_one: |
and then thats what fixed mine |
| [00:07:00] |
briand: |
the drive I got. |
| [00:07:00] |
briand: |
;) |
| [00:07:00] |
twisted_one: |
I had many of the regulars here stumped |
| [00:07:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: I know, so do I |
| [00:07:00] |
twisted_one: |
I thought it was driver issue |
| [00:07:00] |
rtsai: |
dEdd: are you trying to do DVD rip transcoding, or recorded TV transcoding? They are different. |
| [00:07:00] |
twisted_one: |
rtsai: hey, you helped me earlier... had a Q for ya |
| [00:07:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: recorded TV postprocessing |
| [00:07:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: apparently not enough, shoot :) |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
you said I had to enable auto-transcoding in the recording profile |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
I did that |
| [00:08:00] |
rtsai: |
dEdd: then you shouldn't need to install anything else |
| [00:08:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: and ... ? |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
you said there was somehting else I had to do as well |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
=) |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
something about the recording setting |
| [00:08:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: the recording schedule needs to select that recording profile |
| [00:08:00] |
twisted_one: |
I was jsut wondering if you meant that I ahd to set myth to record with that profile |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
oh ok =) |
| [00:09:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: what version? |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
I set autotranscode on default |
| [00:09:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: So where the fiddle do I enable it in 18.1 ? I read and re-read and google'd ... |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
rtsai: 0.18.1 iirc |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
rtsai: I ahvent tested it yet, just was curious if you meant selecting the profile I edited. |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
rtsai: thank you for your help =) |
| [00:09:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: yes |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: let me know how that goes. |
| [00:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
= ) |
| [00:09:00] |
rtsai: |
twisted_one: well, it's not help until you try it out |
| [00:10:00] |
twisted_one: |
its help, just not solved until I can confirm |
| [00:10:00] |
twisted_one: |
YAY! |
| [00:10:00] |
twisted_one: |
The driver built! |
| [00:10:00] |
rtsai: |
dEdd: in the "watch recordings", you can right-arrow on the recording and get a popup menu with options that include "commercial flag" and "transcode" |

anyone here good with X? I need to figure out how to have it allow 1280x768 for my HDTV |

cneb (~benc@markcaswell.dsl.visi.com) has joined #mythtv-users |
| [00:12:00] |
twisted_one: |
It seems to not recognize that as a valid mode and then goes to the next one in the list, I ahve added the modeline but its still not working right =\ |
| [00:13:00] |
twisted_one: |
I dont see anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log about an invalid mode either. =\ |
| [00:13:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: Tada!! Thank you, Sir — found it. |
| [00:13:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: will do. so far, it's extremely quiet and the leds are all extinguished. |
| [00:13:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: Is there a way to globally set it? I though twice I'd done but evidently not too successfully. |

rtsai: |
dEdd: first figure out what recording profile the schedules are set up for (most likely default). Then go to the Recording Profiles, and check the "automatically transcode recordings" checkbox |
| [00:15:00] |
rtsai: |
dEdd: what kind of capture is this? Is this PVR-xxx or digital TV (HDTV)? |
| [00:15:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: pvr500 |
| [00:15:00] |
dEdd: |
rtsai: Makes sense re 'default profile' and attributes of the default profile. |
| [00:15:00] |
rtsai: |
dEdd: why not just fix up the recording profile to output your desired bitrate, quality, etc.? That way you don't have to wait for the extra transcode step. |
| [00:15:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: i believe the resolution for X is set in xorg.conf |
| [00:16:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: make sure its unplugged P |
| [00:16:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one: it is. |
| [00:16:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: yes the resolution is there, but its a bit more complicated than that. =P |

Help: I'm trying to setup mythtv so that i have the backend running on this system, and the frontend running on another in the network. When i run mythfrontend on this system, everything is smooth and fine, but when we try to connect from the other computer, the video is choppy and the audio is non-existant. We're running on a 100mbit network. Any ideas on ways to fix? |

I'm trying to run just the MythTV front end on a separate PC and it appears that the frontend is ignoring my configuration and still trying to connect to local host |

jcollins: what's it saying in console? |
| [00:39:00] |
jcollins: |
duende: that's it's trying to connect to localhost... |

that's how I know it's ignoring my configuration |

jcollins: I was in the past |
| [00:40:00] |
twisted_one: |
I dont dont knwo what fixed it, I wiped it all and started over and I dont see it anymore (due ot many reasons). Is it hanging on certain menus? |
| [00:40:00] |
twisted_one: |
(for about 10–30 seconds) |
| [00:41:00] |
jcollins: |
twisted_one: everything that requires the backend complains that it can't reach the backend (obviously since it's trying localhost) |
| [00:41:00] |
twisted_one: |
yes, exaclty what I was seeing |
| [00:41:00] |
twisted_one: |
but is it manifesting itself as hangs while navigating through the menus? |
| [00:41:00] |
jcollins: |
only when the backend is needed |
| [00:42:00] |
twisted_one: |
ok, yes. |
| [00:43:00] |
twisted_one: |
I just wanted to confirm that is what was causing myhangs, I had a few other issues as well, but I assumed it was that one. |
| [00:43:00] |
twisted_one: |
I guess the only thing I can suggest is to make sure that the ips listed in mythsetup and in your mythfrontend config are the same |
| [00:44:00] |
twisted_one: |
I knwo the mythsetup defualts to 127.0.0.1, but I think thats what would showup in mysql.txt then |
| [00:44:00] |
jcollins: |
mythsetup only runs on the backend, right? |
| [00:44:00] |
twisted_one: |
I would think so, yes. |

twisted_one: |
jcollins: I have had myth running all of one day now so I unfortunatly am not the best person to debug this with. Hope I can help. |
| [00:45:00] |
jcollins: |
hmmm that might be it, I don't think I have the backend referencing anything other than 127.0.0.1 |
| [00:45:00] |
briand: |
twisted_one is at least one day ahead of me. ;) |

can you report the same from the "real world" ? |

in what way(s) does the pvr500 differ from the pvr350 ? |

now to find out why I have a black screen remotely |
| [00:48:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: no output |

so you output thru the video card? |

twisted_one: |
yes |
| [00:49:00] |
briand: |
ah. |
| [00:49:00] |
twisted_one: |
which is alright by me since my tv has a DVI input |
| [00:49:00] |
briand: |
the pundit includes tv-out, but i haven't played with it. |
| [00:49:00] |
briand: |
..heck, the box has only been assembled since late Thursday night. |
| [00:50:00] |
jcollins: |
yea, the pvr500 would have to come out right after I get my pvr250.... grrr |
| [00:51:00] |
twisted_one: |
jcollins: ouch =\ |
| [00:51:00] |
briand: |
i looked at it (well, not physically), but didn't want to use a lot of processor running video.. thus the 350 |
| [00:51:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: how fast is yoru CPU? |
| [00:52:00] |
briand: |
it's a 2.0G Celeron D with a 533FSB |
| [00:52:00] |
jcollins: |
briand: the cpu is mostly idle with my pvr250 and another video output |

briand: |
hmm. |
| [00:52:00] |
twisted_one: |
briand: you shoulda got the 500 |

briand: |
they were about the same price. |
| [00:52:00] |
twisted_one: |
encoding two streams my cpu is 70 idle still |
| [00:53:00] |
jcollins: |
yea, the 500 would be the way I'd have gone |
| [00:53:00] |
twisted_one: |
sempron 2200 |
| [00:53:00] |

the cards encode the stream not the CPU |

well, it won't fit into this cute little pundit case. :) |

twisted_one: i know that we can send files to each other and good speeds. With the default mythtv setup for livetv, how much bandwidth is needed for networked frontends? |

try 98% humidity... all day and all night. from may to november. |
| [01:04:00] |

briand: |
yeah, well we've got hurricanes and you don't! :P |
| [01:05:00] |
duende: |
twisted_one: well, i would assume we would have more then enough bandwidth seeing that it's only our two client computers and one small file server that's not being used at the same time |

currently, 81F, Humidity at 88%, wind out of the south at 8mph |

how does mythtv work tho, does it just send one stream with video/audio attached to all clients connected? |
| [01:09:00] |
GotD0t: |
briand: well... a former friend... wanted to get his and i liked the idea... so i got it as well |
| [01:09:00] |
twisted_one: |
duende: I would imagine its per client |
| [01:09:00] |
briand: |
cool. it's a fun hobby. :) do you have plans to upgrade and try HF ? |
| [01:09:00] |
duende: |
I would think that there should be no difference between a local client and a remote client |

well, yeah, its a good thing, jsut sucks when testing drivers all the time. |
| [01:21:00] |

actually i think it's every 30 *mounts*, not 30 boots. So if you mount /usr read-only, then every install/upgrade of new software counts as 2 mounts |

(read-write, then read-only again) |

perhaps there's some different parameters that need to be fed to ivtv, but i'd have no idea what |

I wonder about the fact that you're using the ivtv-fb driver |
| [01:31:00] |
twisted_one: |
mines just ivtv |
| [01:32:00] |

and I think you want to use the FB one if you didnt use X |

i have been modprobe'ing all the damn day. i've tried every option i've been able to find in various wiki's and how-to's etc. some plain don't work. those that do, produce "weird" (?? what? how can i describe it? i can't take a screenshot) video on the PVR-350's TV out. There are *NO* error messages in the /var/log/messages file. All of the drivers for ivtv (and associated modules) load just fine, no complaints from any |
| [05:33:00] |

of 'em. yet, it doesn't work. |

is there a way to kick a frontend off the backend without restarting the backend? |

exit ? |

djperee-gentoo: |
exit the frontend |
| [05:43:00] |
Quan: |
no a box crashed while watching tv, but the backend thinks it's still connected so that encoder is locked |
| [05:44:00] |
Quan: |
I'm guessing the only way to fix it is to restart the backend... |
| [05:44:00] |

oh well |

restarting the backend fixed it, but it would be nice to have a way to disconnect from the backend without doing that |
