[00:19:00] diamon: jazebo: Free some space manually (logfiles or something), fix your database, and try again. Running totally out of space is a Bad Thing in my book.
[00:19:00] soi-disant: delete them using "rm"

[00:36:00] Good4now: under fc4
[00:36:00] Ryushin: I'm setting up the DVD now. dmesg fills up with the ivtv stuff. What is the default dvd device for a dvd? Is it scd0?

[00:38:00] Good4now: could also be /dev/hdc or hdb if using fdora
[00:39:00] Good4now: sorry d
[00:39:00] Ryushin: Nope. Left Redhat long ago. Still have to support my customers on it though. Switching as many as I can over to debain though.
[00:39:00] Good4now: would also depend how the system is configured if you run DVD on the primary ide interface as slave would be different as well
[00:41:00] Good4now: well I am kind of partial to fedora myself not much of a fan of redhat....and mandriva does not support all of my hardware
[00:42:00] Good4now: does anyone know how to fix this cdaudio bug with fc4 though?
[00:43:00] Good4now: looked everywhere for an answer
[00:43:00] qfx: never had a problem with cdaudio
[00:43:00] Ryushin: Really? Oh, you mean out of the box. I guess I always can support my own hardware since I pretty much always compile my own kernels on my own boxes. Especially if I'm going to have lots of wired hardware. Such as myth.  :)
[00:43:00] qfx: I'm having trouble just getting a proper signal out of my tv card.
[00:43:00] qfx: It's alternating between static and blank

[00:44:00] Good4now: mandriva does not even see my wireless keyboard and mouse when I do an install
[00:44:00] qfx: I used ptune to tune to a channel. I've tried mplayer /dev/video etc.

[00:45:00] Good4now: have you tried xaw(seems simple but using the most basic software to test first seems to work for me)
[00:45:00] qfx: I've even tried ivtvctl
[00:45:00] qfx: Notorious, not xaw, I don't think I have that on my system
[00:45:00] Good4now: never used an ivtv card but having bought an saa7134 card I wish you luck
[00:46:00] qfx: thanks
[00:46:00] Good4now: bad support for some of those as well even with self-compiling
[00:46:00] qfx: It's my first time. A friend said MythTV is awesome if you can get it going. I bought a Hauppauge and haven't gotten it to go yet
[00:46:00] Good4now: I just bought a Twinhan DVB-s card
[00:46:00] qfx: I thought I'd start out cheaper.
[00:46:00] Good4now: setting it up Monday night
[00:47:00] qfx: cool
[00:47:00] Good4now: got a bttv and I sabrent card I will sell cheap
[00:47:00] qfx: Say, how would I know if the card is workig properly at all? Or even if it's detected "correctly"?
[00:47:00] Good4now: try it on a windows box first
[00:47:00] qfx: It's MCE, so I don't know if it would work under XP (doubt it) and I don't have Windows on this box
[00:47:00] Good4now: to test that the card is alright

[00:48:00] brian_1: I don't need to be running the front end to record scheduled shows right? as long as I have the backend going?
[00:49:00] Good4now: well I bought the sabrent for like $30 and was eventually able to get it to work I guess sometimes the best bet is to start out with new or known good working hardware
[00:49:00] Good4now: looks like it look in your modprobe and see if its being loaded
[00:49:00] twisted_one: brian_1: correct, the front end is just used for the viewing thereof.
[00:50:00] qfx: I bought the hauppauge because I thought it was supposed to be a well supported one.
[00:50:00] brian_1: Thanks twisted_one.
[00:50:00] twisted_one: qfx: it is, at least in contrast with the others
[00:50:00] qfx: Yes, I suppose it's all relative :)
[00:50:00] Good4now: depends on the chipset more than the manufacturer the card I bought from TD had a different chipset than advertised
[00:50:00] twisted_one: Does anyone know of a way to have myth browse through my directory structure, I have myth-video but that only is configured for one directory.
[00:51:00] qfx: How do I check to see in my modprobe if it's loaded? I execute
[00:51:00] qfx: # /sbin/depmod -ae
[00:51:00] qfx: # /sbin/modprobe ivtv
[00:51:00] qfx: to get the /dev/video to show up
[00:51:00] Good4now: sometime ago they changed chipsets...happauge generally is supposed to have good support but also depends on your distro
[00:51:00] qfx: Fedora
[00:51:00] twisted_one: nah, the distro doesn't matter.
[00:51:00] chickeneater (n=lastlee@unaffiliated/chickeneater) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:51:00] twisted_one: Its all in the ivtv driver.
[00:52:00] Good4now: well if you need specific drivers then it kind of does
[00:52:00] Good4now: if the kernel won't load the driver correctly then it won't matter what you are using to watch tv
[00:53:00] Good4now: software wise
[00:54:00] Good4now: also check and see in your modprobe.conf file that no other TV card drivers are being loaded if you took out or had a different card in there before
[00:54:00] qfx: What confuses me is that it recognizes it as an MPEG-2 stream
[00:54:00] qfx: First card.
[00:54:00] qfx: like when I do an mplayer /dev/video0
[00:55:00] qfx: Can I cut and paste the output here? Maybe you can see something
[00:55:00] Good4now: yes but even without not knowing ivtv drivers it seems it should be registerring other devices as well
[00:55:00] qfx: or in a new tab
[00:55:00] Good4now: dcc me
[00:56:00] twisted_one: Good4now: I re-iterate distro doesn't matter, give me any distro and I can get the card working provided it works on one.
[00:58:00] qfx: twisted_one: PVR-150MCE on FC4 :)

[01:04:00] Good4now: then help him I've never done an ivtv card myself but know first hand some distros have to be recompiled for some tv cards....most specifically saa713X cards
[01:04:00] twisted_one: qfx: its supported, just a matter of figuring it out
[01:04:00] enthalpyX: I got my 250 working; had to install ivtv 0.3.8
[01:05:00] twisted_one: qfx: I had one helluva time getting mine to work

[01:13:00] SlicerDicer- (n=Slicer@mail.macceketh.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:19:00] twisted_one: qfx: first of all... cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg produces what?
[01:20:00] qfx: produces an mpeg file. Which will play in mplayer, it alternates between static and blank screen
[01:20:00] qfx: twisted_one: It seems to be mostly black screen now, with periods of some static
[01:21:00] jazbo: So are the files for the recordings stored in mythtv/tv?
[01:21:00] qfx: twisted_one: This time it was just black

[01:24:00] qfx: Just noobs on now :) Once someone who's in the know comes on it'll be a gong show!
[01:25:00] jazbo: So I need to delete recordings manually becuase my disk is full and mythfrontend freezes when I try to delete. I think the recordings are in mythtv/tv (there are a bunch of .nuv files in there). But the file names don't tell me anything so I can't choose which to delete. Any suggestions?
[01:26:00] [Ancient]: you could do it by timestamp.
[01:27:00] [Ancient]: delete old ones first.
[01:27:00] Agrajag-: jazbo: filenames go channelid_starttime_endtime.nuv
[01:27:00] jazbo: Yah but there are some old shows I want to keep for sure
[01:27:00] opello: if you hold for a minute i can grab the query i use to to show the filename and show name
[01:27:00] jazbo: Ah channel id that will help

[01:28:00] opello: grep for what you want or add a WHERE to the query i guess

[01:58:00] FITH: I know upgrading 0.16 to 0.18.1 should be pretty painless, but going to the .deb's has me a bit worried about the DB, and other configuration issues
[02:00:00] weizur: i'm trying to run nvtv to adjust my gf2 on my tv but it gives me the error Fatal: Compiled without gui any ideas?
[02:01:00] Agrajag-: i'd say it was compiled without the gui

[02:02:00] weizur: well i used apt-get to make sure it was updated and i even compiled it myself under an x shell but it still didn't work
[02:02:00] Agrajag-: just use the binaries from the official nvtv site
[02:02:00] Agrajag-: you shouldn't even need to compile
[02:05:00] EricAnderson: yeah, my acct ran out
[02:05:00] EricAnderson: but now I still get 401s
[02:05:00] EricAnderson: even after updating it
[02:05:00] EricAnderson: it makes two trips to the server for each offset
[02:05:00] EricAnderson: the first one keeps being unauthorized, the second seems to be okay
[02:07:00] sphery: EricAnderson: that's the way http works
[02:07:00] EricAnderson: i realize, but you could also just send the u/p the frist time
[02:07:00] EricAnderson: and it won't give you the 401
[02:08:00] EricAnderson: there is no need to make two trips
[02:08:00] sphery: true
[02:08:00] sphery: but that's not how they programmed it...
[02:08:00] sphery: The important thing is that that's the way DataDirect will work for everyone
[02:08:00] sphery: So, yours is working.
[02:11:00] EricAnderson: okay cool
[02:11:00] EricAnderson: Is there a bug with myth
[02:11:00] sphery: one sec.
[02:11:00] EricAnderson: I had all kinds of shows programmed in to be recorded
[02:11:00] sphery: checking a theory
[02:12:00] EricAnderson: and I guess since my programming data was gone, all my preferences for recording seem to be as well
[02:12:00] sphery: They shouldn't have disappeared after you got your data

[02:14:00] sphery: Thought I had a theory why mythfilldatabase sends the request without u/p first, but it didn't pan out (figured they were waiting to verify the identity of the server, but it's not using SSL/TLS--which means passwords are basically useless, but that's another story).
[02:14:00] sphery: The recurring ones should definitely have remained.
[02:14:00] sphery: Did you do any MySQL stuff while you were without data?

[02:15:00] EricAnderson: but I didnt delete anything
[02:15:00] EricAnderson: I opened mysql first... but I only did a select statement and left
[02:15:00] sphery: Thought maybe you accidentally deleted some of the rows in the record table.
[02:16:00] sphery: If you go into mysql and run: select recordid from record;
[02:16:00] sphery: What does it give you? (How many rows?)
[02:17:00] EricAnderson: 17
[02:17:00] EricAnderson: but I just started readding them
[02:17:00] sphery: Does that sound like the right ones?
[02:17:00] sphery: About as many as you had programmed?
[02:17:00] EricAnderson: hmm
[02:17:00] EricAnderson: yeah, I just did select *
[02:18:00] funkyelf: Hi guys, I am looking into building an MythTV box. There is nobody in the LIRC channel and I find their site to be quite confusing. I see a list of supported remotes, but no list of supported Recievers / Transmitters. I want to get a USB transmitter / reciever but can't find a list of supported ones anywhere
[02:18:00] EricAnderson: and stuff from certain channels I hadnt yet reprogrammed are there
[02:18:00] sphery: try running: mythbackend --resched
[02:18:00] sphery: Probably just hasn't scheduled anything...
[02:18:00] EricAnderson: cool
[02:18:00] EricAnderson: thanks man
[02:18:00] sphery: np

[02:27:00] soi-disant: "receiver" ??
[02:27:00] soi-disant: do you mean you want to also control other AV equipmnet?
[02:28:00] funkyelf: you need a receiver to use a remote
[02:28:00] funkyelf: to control other AV equipment you'd need a transmitter
[02:28:00] soi-disant: the snapstream comes with one
[02:28:00] soi-disant: it plugs into a usb port

[02:29:00] soi-disant: i'm really confused
[02:30:00] funkyelf: I want to use an all in one USB Transmitter / Reciever. I want it to be able to transmit signals to other AV equipment and also receive signals from my remote
[02:30:00] simcop2387: funkyelf: the best supported reciever is the homebrew one
[02:31:00] funkyelf: ...right but I want a transmitter as well...for my cable box. I want Myth to be able to change the channel on my cable box for me.
[02:31:00] eiggirC: I've come up with a stumbling block in my mythtv setup. The wife wants to be able to watch video tapes – can I plug a VCR into the composite-in on my single tuner card in the backend server?
[02:32:00] Agrajag-: yep
[02:32:00] eiggirC: while using the VCR, noone else can use that tuner card for anything though, right?
[02:33:00] Agrajag-: yep
[02:33:00] eiggirC: hmmm – this is just going to have to cost me money I think.
[02:34:00] Agrajag-: you could just buy a cheap arse analogue card
[02:34:00] eiggirC: I have a cheap-arsed analogue card already ;)
[02:34:00] Agrajag-: so get another one :P
[02:34:00] eiggirC: I doubt my shitless P3 would handle a tuner and a video at the same time
[02:34:00] eiggirC: then again at the moment we can only do one at a time
[02:35:00] eiggirC: the tuner card is our TV already, but its in a windows box, and the windows PVR software is all weird-arse stuff.

[03:22:00] Ryushin: dmesg shows the pchdtv card as being loaded.
[03:23:00] GreyFoxx: simcop2387: My desktops are multi headed, so I would just dedicate one screen/part to myth. But I do see the appeal of it
[03:23:00] simcop2387: GreyFoxx: boooo, rich kid!

[03:24:00] GreyFoxx: thechris: if you have configured your mysql.txt to point to 10.0.0.1 then of course mythtv-setup wont find it
