[00:00:00] jd86: i can see the tv guide

[00:00:00] Juski: right.. so it's tuned to **something**
[00:01:00] Juski: that's good.. so now you just have to figure out what's stopping mythtv changing channels
[00:02:00] jd86: i go to change channels and the little thing shows up on the bottom and doesnt have anything in it
[00:02:00] jd86: and just goes back to channel 3 or w/e this is
[00:02:00] jd86: maybe i'm on 2?

[00:03:00] Juski: it should say which channel you're on for a little while
[00:03:00] jd86: hmm

[00:04:00] jd86: when i go chan up, it says the time but not the channel on the top

[00:05:00] jd86: for the choices of which tuner to use, what one do i use?
[00:05:00] jd86: well this is a pvr150
[00:05:00] jd86: the mpeg one
[00:05:00] Juski: tuner0 would be the best bet I think
[00:06:00] jd86: well thats whats it is on now..
[00:06:00] jd86: i wonder what to do. :(

[00:07:00] Juski: why has it picked up 2 tuners?
[00:07:00] Juski: you DID try the cat /dev/video0 thing before installing mythtv didn't you?
[00:07:00] jd86: uhh..

[00:09:00] sphing: jd86: /dev/video0 is just a symlink no?
[00:09:00] jd86: h/o
[00:09:00] jd86: yep
[00:09:00] jd86: whats v4l/video24?
[00:09:00] sphing: i believe thats raw signal... not mpeg encoded
[00:10:00] sphing: jd86: try cat /dev/video0 >> test.mpg
[00:10:00] sphing: then play test.mpg in mplayer
[00:10:00] jd86: ok

[00:22:00] jd86: i mean with my poor mythtv
[00:22:00] jd86: why cant i change channels
[00:24:00] fourcheeze: sounds like you only have 1 channel stored
[00:24:00] fourcheeze: did you add some channels?
[00:25:00] jd86: wheni go to channel editor, listed there are all of the channels i guess it got from the mythfilldatabase...
[00:26:00] sphing: can you change with ptune?
[00:26:00] jd86: whats ptune?
[00:27:00] fourcheeze: jd86: I don't know how to tune a pvr150 but I assume somewhere it needs to know the channel number that the card knows
[00:28:00] jd86: well theres an ivtv-tune and if i do ivtv-tune -l it lists channel frequencies for us-cable and i dont know if they're right or what..
[00:30:00] Krazylegz: ptune.pl
[00:30:00] jd86: wheres that?
[00:30:00] jd86: do i have to emerge (i'm on gentoo) ivtv-ptune ?
[00:30:00] Krazylegz: You'll have to find it on your system.
[00:30:00] Krazylegz: It should have come with ivtv, I think.

[00:31:00] jd86: and what do i do with it once i have it?

[00:37:00] FunkyELF_: I was trying to follow the gentoo wiki mythtv guide. I got my tuners working using cat, then I emerged mythtv. I'm not sure what I was supposed to run as root and what I was supposed to run as a user.
[00:37:00] FunkyELF_: When I run mythsetup as root it does one thing, but when I do it as a user it is another thing.

[00:40:00] FunkyELF_: jonK, no, I subscribed yesterday
[00:40:00] FunkyELF_: I can log in with the same username / password that I gave to myth
[00:41:00] jd86: it takes a tad bit to change channels, that might be annoying :)
[00:41:00] jonK: jd, for live tv it take a bit?
[00:42:00] Krazylegz: jd86: I use the browse function or the program guide to change channels, but I know what you mean.

[00:44:00] Krazylegz: jd86: Just enter the guide, then scroll up or down, and press enter to go to that channel.
[00:44:00] Randall64: Anyone with access to the database.
[00:45:00] jd86: Krazylegz: it opens the info and settings for it..
[00:45:00] FunkyELF_: right now I can only run that as root. But I am getting a 401 Unauthorized when I try to run it
[00:45:00] Krazylegz: Oh.
[00:45:00] Krazylegz: Let me check then.
[00:45:00] jd86: heh
[00:47:00] Krazylegz: Spacebar.
[00:47:00] jd86: i wonder what spacebar is on my remote..
[00:47:00] Krazylegz: Which remote?
[00:47:00] gcope: mythtv built on top of qt?
[00:47:00] jd86: silver grey hauppague one
[00:47:00] Krazylegz: OK button.
[00:48:00] DarkBeer: is there a plugin to allow you to stream mythmusic? looking at a patch on timekiller.org, but looks like it might be older than .18
[00:48:00] jd86: whys the guide button not work :(
[00:48:00] Krazylegz: DarkBeer: You mean internet radio stations?

[00:48:00] jd86: Krazylegz: we must have different configs, because ok opens the info screen

[00:48:00] jd86: Krazylegz: yea below the TV button
[00:48:00] DarkBeer: Krazylegz, no, mp3s. would like to be able to stream them to work ;)
[00:48:00] red_fox: DarkBeer, I've heard that somebody is working on streaming internet radio in mythmusic
[00:49:00] Beirdo: so invest in shoutcast or something
[00:49:00] Beirdo: :)
[00:49:00] Krazylegz: jd86: I'm thinking you have a completely different remote than me.
[00:49:00] Juski: naughty, naughty, DarkBeer
[00:49:00] Beirdo: there are already tools for that, DarkBeer
[00:49:00] Krazylegz: DarkBeer: Setup a Shoutcast server.

[00:49:00] Juski: and pay your royalties :)
[00:50:00] DarkBeer: blah. since mythweb already shows the files, I'd think I should be able to get them to play. otherwise, I don't really see the purpose of listing the music in mythweb?
[00:51:00] Krazylegz: DarkBeer: Mine lets me download them.
[00:51:00] jd86: OK is space.
[00:51:00] jd86: ..
[00:51:00] DarkBeer: when I click on it, it give me a 404 not found
[00:52:00] Beirdo: then fix yer config
[00:52:00] jd86: whats this go button...
[00:52:00] Juski: and pray your workplace doesn't block ogg/mp3/flac file extensions
[00:52:00] jd86: oh
[00:53:00] DarkBeer: Beirdo, apache config? and what other "tools" were you referring to earlier?
[00:53:00] Beirdo: shoutcast...
[00:53:00] Beirdo: sheesh
[00:53:00] DarkBeer: oh..
[00:53:00] Beirdo: anyways, fix your mythweb config if it gives you 404
[00:53:00] DarkBeer: k
[00:53:00] DarkBeer: thanks
[00:53:00] Beirdo: you need a symlink to the dir with the mp3 files in it
[00:53:00] Beirdo: pretty sure that's somewhere in the docs
[00:54:00] DarkBeer: I must've been looking at the wrong docs then. thanks again

[00:56:00] mchou: Juski: which nazis you work for?
[00:56:00] Juski: I can work around it though if I wanna download anything... just ssh into my box at home, download stuff & rename it.. the proxy doesn't check the files.. just the names
[00:56:00] pmowry: Hi, can anyone help me with a mysqladmin line to remove a program from the recorded table? I used nuvexport to backup a program, then restored it after loading an SVN version that started to use .mpg extensions instead. Now I can't delete it using mythfrontend or mythweb.
[00:57:00] Beirdo: phpmyadmin is your friend
[00:57:00] Beirdo: anyways, off to scan pics
[00:57:00] Juski: lucky they pass two ports thru the firewall.. not the usual suspects, mchou ;)
[00:57:00] Juski: have fun Beirdo
[00:57:00] pmowry: Beirdo: Thanks, I'll install it and give it a try.
[00:57:00] FunkyELF_: What are some common reasons that it can't connect to the server? I ran mythsetup as root and changed the IP's in the first page to 127.0.0.1 .... then when I ran mythfrontend as a user and I changed the IP to 127.0.0.1 it continued on and broght me to a screen where I could go to "Watch TV"
[00:58:00] FunkyELF_: when I go to watch tv, it gives me an error about not being able to connect to the master backend
[00:58:00] Juski: I used to work for celestica – they actually had a policy where you couldn't right click on the desktop to change **anything**
[00:58:00] Juski: FunkyELF_: is this on the same machine?
[00:58:00] FunkyELF_: Juski, yes
[00:59:00] Juski: is mythbackend running?
[00:59:00] FunkyELF_: Juski, I'm not sure...
[00:59:00] FunkyELF_: myth eric # /etc/init.d/mythbackend status

[00:59:00] Juski: that'd do it
[01:00:00] FunkyELF_: it says it started okay but I guess it didn't

[01:12:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Helpful hint – use SSH -D 1080 <your home host> to make a socks5 proxy, then add localhost:1080 to any app that supports it. No more pesky blocking ;).
[01:13:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Of course, don't violate your company's policies. :) Only for cafe use.
[01:14:00] Juski: heheh cheers NightMonkey
[01:14:00] Juski: ahh port 1080 = blocked
[01:14:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Use any port you'd like.
[01:15:00] NightMonkey: Juski: 80 or 8080 probably aren't.

[01:15:00] NightMonkey: Juski: That's just the "standard" port.
[01:15:00] Juski: 8080 isn't, but I don't wanna be scanned by a kiddie
[01:15:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Oh, wait. Sorry, it only matters if SSH (port 22) is blocked.
[01:15:00] Juski: saying that I already use vnc
[01:16:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Since the proxy only sends data over the net using SSH. In other words, the port exists only locally on your machine.
[01:16:00] Juski: I don't use port 22 anyway.. I use one free port for ssh and the other for vnc
[01:16:00] Juski: ahhh
[01:16:00] NightMonkey: Juski: So, any proxy-able apps use "localhost" and port "1080".
[01:17:00] Juski: on my first day in the job I tried going to www.farnell.com
[01:17:00] Juski: blocked!
[01:17:00] NightMonkey: Juski: This includes Mozilla, xmms, bmp, and I think even Windows apps can use it.
[01:17:00] NightMonkey: (if you use cygwin's openssh)
[01:17:00] Juski: later on I tried to go to www.xilinx.com but mis-typed it to www.xlinx.com.. flesh tones all over the screen
[01:18:00] Juski: so a proper site was blocked, but not the pr0n lol
[01:18:00] rpete_ is now known as rpete
[01:18:00] NightMonkey: Juski: As long as your home IP isn't blocked (and you are running sshd there), you'll be fine.
[01:18:00] NightMonkey: Juski: I use it because I just don't trust any networks but my own ;).
[01:18:00] Juski: they even block sourceforge ffs

[01:21:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Heh, I use it for vnc. I don't like people sniffing that, either.
[01:21:00] kormoc: NightMonkey, can't you just port forward proxy port X and have everything use localhost port X as a proxy, socks or otherwise?
[01:22:00] Juski: you'd have to be pretty determined to sniff what's going on in a vnc connection though

[01:22:00] FunkyELF_: okay, It looks like I can watch TV through mythfrontend now
[01:23:00] FunkyELF_: but I can't change channels
[01:23:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Never underestimate the enemy...
[01:23:00] FunkyELF_: do I need to list ptune as the command to change channels?

[01:31:00] NightMonkey: Jazbo: What ivtv version, and what module options? Are you using composite connections, or s-video?
[01:31:00] Juski: I'm running unpatched XP on this box here behind a smoothwall.. enough for home use I think
[01:31:00] Jazbo: Using cable tv. Looks fine when I view directly from cable to tv so it's definetly a problem with my mythbox
[01:32:00] Jazbo: My tv has a pc monitor connection and I'm using that

[01:33:00] Jazbo: Everything else looks okay for example the text in my irc window here looks perfectly sharp
[01:33:00] Juski: Jazbo – what does it look like when you play back other media on the machine? say in xine etc?
[01:33:00] NightMonkey: Jazbo: What does the video look like when you just use the mythbox -> monitor directly?
[01:34:00] Jazbo: Stuff looks fine in xine
[01:34:00] Jazbo: I think it has to do with the recording from the pvr250
[01:34:00] NightMonkey: Jazbo: What are your module options?
[01:34:00] Jazbo: ivtvctl -V says version is 0.2.0
[01:35:00] NightMonkey: Jazbo: What linux kernel ivtv module options (modules.conf, or similar for your distro)?
[01:36:00] Jazbo: what should I grep in modules.conf?
[01:38:00] FunkyELF_: red_fox, when I press up or down, it brings up a blue bar across the bottom but doesn't say it is changing channels
[01:39:00] FunkyELF_: red_fox, also, when I press 'c' which is supposed to change tuners, it doesn't change tuners
[01:39:00] red_fox: yeah c doesn't do much for me either
[01:39:00] red_fox: but the changing channels worked right off
[01:39:00] red_fox: you could play around with ptune and see if it changes anything

[02:52:00] Lightning: if you pipe the video to a file directly, then play the file, do you get a whine?
[02:52:00] Lightning: and do you get a whine if other audio files are played?
[02:52:00] Lightning: could be a setting on the tuner or settings of the audio itself
[02:53:00] mikmorg_: i get the whine after its recorded, and i play it through mythtv,
[02:53:00] mikmorg_: but i haven't recorded it to anything else
[02:53:00] Lightning: more wondered if any other video file whines
[02:54:00] Lightning: if not, then it may be the recording volume (if adjustable) for the tv card
[02:54:00] mikmorg_: only certain channels, and i haven't noticed any other video
[02:54:00] mikmorg_: i wouldn't think it would be volume, unless it saves per channel somehow
[02:54:00] Lightning: may only take bumping the audio down slightly for the recording as another channel that is louder may be peaking constantly
[02:54:00] Lightning: that is my thought process at least
[02:55:00] mikmorg_: i see
[02:55:00] Lightning: as to how to adjust the record volume, i am not sure. I dont have a setup currently

[03:27:00] red_fox: JohnP789, any errors?
[03:27:00] red_fox: tv, an online database frontend
[03:27:00] JohnP789: I just noticed that listings start showing up after midnight tonight. It's 8:27PM here now.
[03:27:00] PatrickDK: I just use mysqlcc
[03:27:00] JohnP789: Maybe it's just "priming the pump"?
[03:28:00] tv: red_fox: ok, maybe that will help me understand mysql because right now mysql doesn't seem to work very well at all
[03:28:00] red_fox: JohnP789, is this the first time you have filled the database?
[03:28:00] tv: red_fox: i was able to set the root user password but now it won't let me change it, nor set a password for any other user
[03:28:00] red_fox: tv, yeah that is why I like to use a frontend ;-)
[03:28:00] JohnP789: red_fox, Yep, I just installed mythtv. Actually, just set up this machine from scratch.
[03:29:00] tv: red_fox: thanks, i'll try it
[03:29:00] red_fox: JohnP789, hrm I'm not sure why it wouldn't give you the data for today
[03:29:00] red_fox: you can try to run mythfilldatabase again
[03:29:00] tv: red_fox: is phpmyadmin a pain to install and configure?
[03:29:00] JohnP789: Everything after midnight tonight looks great.
[03:29:00] red_fox: are you sure your datetime is setup right?
[03:29:00] red_fox: tv, guess it depends on your distro
[03:29:00] red_fox: it isn't that bad
[03:30:00] tv: red_fox: ok, i'll try emerging it ;)
[03:30:00] red_fox: JohnP789, run date and make sure it is correct
[03:31:00] JohnP789: Yep, looks fine.
[03:31:00] JohnP789: The time inside of MythTV is correct.
[03:31:00] red_fox: well I guess the easy answer is to just wait until midnight, and then you are good to go :-P
[03:32:00] JohnP789: red_fox, That'll be good enough for me!  :-)

[03:33:00] PatrickDK: john, you didn't actually expect it to did you?
[03:33:00] PatrickDK: my 850mhz almost plays it
[03:33:00] JohnP789: I didn't expect it would be able to play, no.
[03:33:00] PatrickDK: really need a 1ghz
[03:34:00] JohnP789: I have a Hollywood Plus card somewhere. Any help there?
[03:34:00] GreyFoxx: JohnP789: That wont help you

[03:35:00] JohnP789: OK, no problem.
[03:35:00] GreyFoxx: any 650 or above "should" play the recordings from an ivtv.

[03:50:00] PatrickDK: it wasa 6800, now it's a sis
[03:50:00] mchou: PatrickDK: a 6800 with xvmc on 850mhz wasnt enough for analog sdtv?
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: no xvmc, it wouldn't work
[03:51:00] ip_goat_rodeo: I still think motorola microprocessors first rather than video cards when I hear 6800
[03:51:00] mchou: on a 6800 xvmc didnt work?
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: I couldn't get it working
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: install nvidia drivers, those worked
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: compiled with xvmc, that worked
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: it said it was using xvmc
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: but when I turned on any filers or anything
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: the filters worked
[03:51:00] PatrickDK: and they shouldn't

[03:52:00] mchou: ouch
[03:52:00] PatrickDK: I have a program that is using 10–20% of that though

[05:00:00] Krazylegz: Then your Apache configuration is incorrect for PHP.
[05:01:00] tv: i thought it autoloaded php through modules.d
[05:02:00] tv: there is a php conf file in modules.d
[05:02:00] xris: tv: modules.d isn't usually an apache thing, is it?
[05:02:00] Krazylegz: Usually Apache dynamically loads PHP, but you have to check that in your Apache config.
[05:02:00] tv: see, i already have this line in httpd.conf
[05:02:00] tv: Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf
[05:03:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, that won't load PHP.
[05:03:00] tv: xris: apache apparently uses it now
[05:03:00] Krazylegz: You need a like like LoadModule ....
[05:03:00] xris: tv: well, your distro does, anyway
[05:03:00] tv: gentoo
[05:03:00] Krazylegz: Apache2?
[05:04:00] tv: apache, i think it's 2.0.54
[05:05:00] xris: tv: so can you run any of the php files?
[05:05:00] xris: maybe just the index file association is broken?
[05:05:00] tv: xris: i haven't tried because I don't know what to run? what should I run?
[05:05:00] tv: (all this because mysql sucks)
[05:05:00] xris: um, click one of them?
[05:05:00] xris: mysql doesn't suck.
[05:05:00] Krazylegz: MySQL does not suck.
[05:05:00] tv: it does, it wouldn't let me change the password for the mythtv user
[05:06:00] xris: works great if you know how to use it. imho phpmyadmin sucks. I have no idea how to use it.
[05:06:00] Lightning: any benefit to having a dvi connect on the vid card?
[05:06:00] tv: says it was disconnected from @localhost
[05:06:00] Lightning: i'd currently be using the s-video out...

[05:06:00] NightMonkey: tv: Did you add "-D PHP4" to your /etc/conf.d/apache2 ?
[05:06:00] Krazylegz: Boo for GRANT/DENY.
[05:07:00] tv: xris: how the hell do I do that??
[05:07:00] xris: tv: huh? that's the command you run to grant privs to a user
[05:07:00] xris: from the mysql client
[05:07:00] Krazylegz: tv: You have to login to mysql CLI first.
[05:07:00] tv: xris: oh, mysql
[05:07:00] tv: that's a start

[05:18:00] Krazylegz: tv: There is a log on the web for this channel.
[05:18:00] tv: this is a new system, i haven't configured stuff like that
[05:18:00] tv: *sigh*
[05:18:00] Dark`-`: hey i have a simple question
[05:19:00] Lightning: tv, you get a private msg about the log
[05:19:00] Dark`-`: i bought a tv tuner today, but i realized something that might be a problem
[05:19:00] Lightning: anytime you join the chan
[05:19:00] Dark`-`: i have Comcast digital cable, so i was wondering how mythtv is going to change the channels for recording
[05:19:00] Krazylegz: tv: http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/ircLog/
[05:19:00] Dark`-`: im totally new to this so im sure its a simple answer
[05:19:00] NightMonkey: tv: Dude, take a breath, and maybe a break. You need to read the mythtv docs: http://mythtv.org/docs/
[05:20:00] red_fox: Dark`-`, I use a IR blaster
[05:20:00] red_fox: other people have been able to hook up to their cable box with a serial cable
[05:20:00] Dark`-`: hmm
[05:20:00] Dark`-`: we have this tiny little motorola box
[05:20:00] Lightning: Dark`-`, you hook up an ir blaster (if you do not already have one) to the serial or usb and myth then uses it to change channels (by sending out the signals like a remote control)
[05:20:00] tv: thanks for giving me shit when I had to leave
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: ok
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: im gunna have to get one of those then
[05:21:00] tv: i'll go rtfm.
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: good thing theres a known solution :) i became a bit stressed when i realized that issue
[05:21:00] Lightning: i think irblaster.info has one cheap
[05:21:00] Lightning: unless you want a more professional model
[05:21:00] NightMonkey: Dark`-`: I use an IR Blaster from here: http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_005.html
[05:21:00] Lightning: assuming you have a serial port open
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: whatever works
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: yea i got serial
[05:21:00] Dark`-`: and usb
[05:22:00] GreyFoxx: tv: Sometimes knowing what is said after you leave a room , both IRL and on IRC can be a blessing and a curse :)
[05:22:00] Dark`-`: thanks guys
[05:23:00] tv: i've been using linux for over ten years, it's not a problem
[05:23:00] tv: but you sorely misunderstand me according to your gestures
[05:24:00] Dark`-`: Lightning: does this work reliably?
[05:24:00] Dark`-`: i know soemtimes I have issues using the remote control myself ;)
[05:25:00] Lightning: if you get a decent ir blaster, it sits right at the receiver, so unless the receiver has issues, it shoudl be reliable
[05:25:00] Dark`-`: ok cool
[05:25:00] NightMonkey: Dark`-`: Sorry, mislinked – I use the serial version: http://www.mytvstore.com/product_id_004.html
[05:26:00] Dark`-`: thanks NightMonkey
[05:26:00] Dark`-`: cheaper, i like it

[05:27:00] Dark`-`: haha thats ok
[05:28:00] Dark`-`: as long as the things are reliable thats all i would care about
[05:28:00] NightMonkey: Dark`-`: Mine has worked fine since 8/2004

[05:30:00] Krazylegz: In fact, let's not talk about that.

[05:36:00] _Nero_: Here is a strange one.. anyone here use Xine? If I have chain-reaction post processing enabled (deinterlace, denoise, and unsharp mask), the menus/extras on a DVD are slow as can be (pegging my CPU usage). When the chain-reaction is off, it runs fine.. However, running the main movie on a DVD, with the same chain-reaction enabled, and I am only using 65% or so of the CPU..
[05:37:00] Dark`-`: NightMonkey: i saw someone on there that used this card and they liked it so I guess that means im ok? :)

[05:38:00] Dark`-`: $25 they'll send me all the parts and the PCB hah
[05:38:00] red_fox: Dark`-`, yeah go for it... I didn't want to spend the time
[05:38:00] red_fox: but it isn't that complicated of a circuit
[05:38:00] NightMonkey: Dark`-`: Just make sure their entry doesn't have a "1" rating...
[05:39:00] Dark`-`: yea theres only a few components lol
[05:39:00] Dark`-`: i could probably do it easily without their pcb
[05:39:00] Dark`-`: got a decent EE lab here
[05:39:00] red_fox: the nice thing is that they use a huge cap for the blaster... gets good range
[05:39:00] Dark`-`: yea to store the charge, not too shabby
[05:39:00] Dark`-`: i wonder how long it takes to charge it
[05:39:00] Gumby (n=gumby@unaffiliated/gumby) has joined #mythtv-users
[05:39:00] red_fox: I think they say 10–15 minutes total, but it stays charged after that
[05:40:00] red_fox: and it'll still work at partial charge, just don't have the range
[05:40:00] Dark`-`: i built an IR transmitter similar to this a few years ago, reached 200 ft ;)
[05:40:00] Dark`-`: with a 9V battery
[05:40:00] red_fox: hah not too shabby
[05:40:00] Dark`-`: although i did put like 6 IR LEDs on it
[05:40:00] red_fox: there are some simpler schematics on lirc.org, but less range
[05:41:00] Dark`-`: hmm interesting
[05:41:00] Dark`-`: i dont really need range actually
[05:41:00] Dark`-`: the box is going to be sitting on my pc
[05:41:00] red_fox: yeah I didn't really need the range either, but I was in a hurry
[05:41:00] Dark`-`: i gotta wait for my card to come in next week at some point
[05:41:00] tv: does http://mythtv.org/docs/ say anywhere about configuring the kernel for the capture card?
[05:41:00] Dark`-`: or else i wouldn't be patient either
[05:42:00] Dark`-`: the cable box too
[05:42:00] NightMonkey: Dark`-`: I have mine taped in front of my dish reciever's IR port...
[05:42:00] red_fox: ah I see
[05:42:00] Dark`-`: haha yea thats what i gotta do

[05:45:00] red_fox: gentoo-wiki.com
[05:45:00] tv: ok thanks
[05:47:00] tv: Krazylegz: somewhat, i was reading the mythtv docs
[05:48:00] tv: Krazylegz: i created the initial database, i think
[05:48:00] tv: Krazylegz: the thing I don't understand about that part is in the mythtvfrontend setup there is mysql database configuration, its default is user: mythtv password: mythtv and I don't know if that's system users or mysql users or if there is even a difference
[05:48:00] Krazylegz: That's a step in the right direction.
[05:49:00] tv: but i figured i should at least get my kernel configured
[05:49:00] Krazylegz: MySQL user.
[05:49:00] Krazylegz: There is a difference.
[05:49:00] tv: i still haven't seen any documentation on how to add the mythtv mysql user
[05:49:00] Krazylegz: MySQL users and shell accounts are totally independent.
[05:49:00] Krazylegz: Do you know SQL?
[05:49:00] tv: i've avoided SQL purposely, i'd rather use a text file.
[05:50:00] Krazylegz: Well, MythTV doesn't work that way.
[05:50:00] tv: now it bites me because i don't have a choice
[05:50:00] GreyFoxx: tv: The mc.sql file will create the user
[05:50:00] tv: GreyFoxx: that's all i needed to know about that, thanks
[05:50:00] tv: GreyFoxx: that part seemed to work when i used the < redirector and mc.sql
[05:50:00] Krazylegz: I guess MythTV isn't a learning experience for everyone. I thought those people were Tivo people, though...
[05:51:00] tv: i wonder if my card is supported by BT848
[05:51:00] GreyFoxx: That creates the blank mythconverg database and the mythtv user
[05:51:00] GreyFoxx: tv: the pvr 150 uses the ivtv drivers

[05:51:00] GreyFoxx: tv: the mc.sql creates it and set the password.
[05:52:00] tv: GreyFoxx: oh, and ivtv is not in the kernel default yet
[05:52:00] GreyFoxx: You could certainly change it if you want
[05:52:00] GreyFoxx: tv: Nope, and likely wont be for a while to come
[05:52:00] Krazylegz: Okay, how many times will Fran Drescher get a show?
[05:52:00] tv: GreyFoxx: so now i just need to get my card/driver and the backend going

[07:15:00] tv: the 3. video sources menu i completely don't understand
[07:15:00] Captain_Murdoch: that's because the chip supports multiple inputs but there aren't connectors for most of them on the card. Some newer cards have a connector where you can add a couple extra composite inputs I believe. I've seen people selling the cables for them.
[07:16:00] tv: ok so how to i create a video source?
[07:16:00] tv: there are none listed

[07:59:00] tv: Chutt: what made you think i was ignoring you when you hadn't said anything to me yet?  :)
[07:59:00] Chutt: because you're still babbling about the fact that it's downloading the same file over and over?
[07:59:00] tv: what should i do?
[07:59:00] Chutt: uh, nothing?
[07:59:00] Captain_Murdoch: check the guide and see if it worked. :)
[08:00:00] Chutt: thinking that a given url is a single, static file is rather dumb.

[08:37:00] tv: i just quit mythfrontend and it started automatically running mythfilldatabase
[08:37:00] tv: ok thanks
[08:37:00] Captain_Murdoch: the backend will run it once a day if you configure it to.
[08:37:00] Captain_Murdoch: might be the default now, can't recall.
[08:37:00] tv: that must be it, i did configure it to
[08:37:00] tv: will that replace ALL data daily or just the newest?
[08:37:00] NightMonkey: tv: I think your data will be screwed up, tho.
[08:38:00] Captain_Murdoch: replaces just tomorrows. you need to run that delete sql command then rerun mythfilldatabase.

[08:59:00] tv: so the program browser was 7 hours off
[08:59:00] tv: all fixed now though

[15:52:00] GreyFoxx: It normally means that the stuff is alreasdy compiled and it doesn't feel it needs to do anything

[15:59:00] MrSpiffy: hello – question
[15:59:00] Lightnin: and i assume "shell uname -r" returns a valid string for an existing directory
[16:00:00] MrSpiffy: I am using a bttv card – the colors are washed out. I would like the channels to look the same using myth as they do watching reg. cable. I am looking at the channel filters
[16:00:00] sphing: uname -r is the working kernel
[16:00:00] GreyFoxx: No, uname -r returns the kernel version, nothing about directopries
[16:00:00] Lightnin: GreyFoxx, see KDIR definition
[16:00:00] MrSpiffy: which are recording filters?
[16:00:00] Lightnin: it is putting it into a directory
[16:00:00] sphing: no its not
[16:00:00] MrSpiffy: adjust or the bright/sat/color/hue
[16:00:00] GreyFoxx: Lightnin: Ok, I see what you mean. It's building a pathname
[16:00:00] GreyFoxx: using the output of uname -r
[16:00:00] Lightnin: yes, and i was wondering if that dir exists
[16:01:00] Lightnin: and PWD obviously is using the current working directory for subdirs
[16:02:00] Lightnin: but the end of that make line defines modules to be made. but i dont see a modules entry in the makefile, just a define for obj-m
[16:02:00] Lightnin: sphing, you cut part of the make out?

[16:04:00] sphing: and now it works
[16:05:00] Lightnin: notice kdir
[16:05:00] sphing: Lightnin: ... the first one was a symlink to the same place
[16:05:00] Lightnin: you are not doing uname -r inside it to obtain a /lib/modules/[kernel version]/ entry
[16:06:00] Lightnin: that kdir is hard set. what was probably happening was that /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build did not exist

[16:13:00] Lightnin: i was thinking that the makefiles took $() and returned what the command prompt would return (basically a version of a batch file but make itself is interpretting some)
[16:13:00] Beirdo: not really
[16:13:00] Beirdo: make has its own parser which is quite complex at times

[16:14:00] Beirdo: tis quite likely
[16:14:00] sphing: no
[16:14:00] sphing: cause i copy pasted the make file over

[22:04:00] mchou: help*
[22:04:00] simon_c: mchou: :-)
[22:05:00] simon_c: I've an old dell CPi series laptop. Which I'd like to use as a front end and send the out put to the TV. It has a TV connector on the side, that is almost like svideo, but not.
[22:05:00] mchou: Does the plug have a lable on it?
[22:06:00] simon_c: I'd like to know if anyone knows if it's possable to get linux to use this output, before I go to the hassle (and probably spend a few quid) of getting a cable.
[22:06:00] mchou: label*
[22:06:00] simon_c: it has an icon of a square, ith a V above it (kind of like a TV) and an arrow leaving it.
[22:08:00] Criggie: simon_c: yeah I got a CPx
[22:08:00] mchou: simon_c: what does the manual say that port is good for?
[22:08:00] Criggie: simon_c: its probably a p3 at 500ish MHz
[22:08:00] Criggie: ?
[22:08:00] Cardoe: simon_c: it's getting X to work
[22:08:00] Criggie: will it have the balls to be a front-end ?
[22:09:00] Cardoe: simon_c: that's the only part
[22:09:00] simon_c: mocker: Manual ?? On something this old ??? Ha. Well, I might be able to find it on dell's website :-)
[22:09:00] Cardoe: simon_c: what video card do you have?
[22:09:00] Cardoe: simon_c: you should have an S-Video connector with extra pins
[22:09:00] Cardoe: simon_c: that's how all laptops are.
[22:09:00] Criggie: simon_c: I believe that socket has pins for composite out and svhs out
[22:09:00] mchou: simon_c: sure you would.
[22:09:00] Cardoe: simon_c: the extra pins are for composite (RCA) output
[22:09:00] Criggie: simon_c: or it might be the other svhs that separates RGB into separate lines
[22:09:00] simon_c: Cardoe: It's actally only a P2, but it does playback on the internal screen well enough.
[22:10:00] Cardoe: there's a special S-Video like cable that basically has an S-Video end on it but it connects to the pins to use RCA
[22:10:00] simon_c: Criggie/Cardoe Thanks.
[22:10:00] Criggie: simon_c: fair enough. before you get too far into it – find out how much a cheap AGP card with TV out will cost. would
[22:10:00] Cardoe: Criggie: it's laptop
[22:10:00] Cardoe: not a desktop
[22:11:00] Cardoe: simon_c: it'll work displaying out to the TV
[22:11:00] simon_c: Criggie: Trouble is, I have no box small enough to put in the space with an AGP slot. And a budget so close to 0 as to make no odds.
[22:11:00] simon_c: but lots of old hardware :-/
[22:11:00] Cardoe: simon_c: basically check the BIOS
[22:11:00] simon_c: Cardoe: Thanks
[22:11:00] Cardoe: simon_c: plug the cable in
[22:11:00] Cardoe: turn on the lapto
[22:11:00] Cardoe: close the lid
[22:11:00] Cardoe: the TV should start showing the console
[22:11:00] Cardoe: and when X starts, it'll display there
[22:12:00] simon_c: Cardoe: Brill.
[22:12:00] simon_c: "close the lid" :-/
[22:12:00] simon_c: so I need to track down a keyboard too. Ahh well.
[22:12:00] Cardoe: Might not be necessary to close the lid
[22:12:00] Cardoe: if you configure the BIOS correctly.

[23:19:00] Juski: it's my spare box.. trying to get apache working.. everything I know about it (from previous installs) is now wrong
[23:20:00] Urgo: FunkyELF: yeah just got it yesterday and having a hard time installing it...
[23:20:00] NightMonkey: Juski: You mean you're using the new apache config layout?
[23:20:00] Urgo: FunkyELF: right now I have it installed and all but I only get static..
[23:21:00] Juski: NightMonkey: yes
[23:21:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Yeah, I was dreading upgrading my servers for a while. But, once I did it, things make a bit more sense, in my opinion.
[23:21:00] CanadaBoy: NightMonkey: so does that mean anything to you?
[23:21:00] Urgo: also getting "tuner: tuner type not set" but it detects it as type 57 earlier..
[23:21:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Just remember to turn on lots of stuffs in /etc/conf.d/apache2 via "-D ..."
[23:21:00] NightMonkey: CanadaBoy: Nope, not really.
[23:21:00] Urgo: FunkyELF: whats your problem with it? :)
[23:22:00] CanadaBoy: NightMonkey: ok thanks
[23:22:00] Juski: I've tried with vhosts enabled, without it enabled.. I think the problem stems from my machine not having a domain name
[23:22:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Just give it "localhost", then? But, name-based virtual hosts need a resolveable DNS name, IIRC.
[23:23:00] NightMonkey: Juski: If you are just testing from the same host, then /etc/hosts should be enough.
[23:23:00] Juski: I don't even need vhosts
[23:23:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Did you unset "vhosts" USE flag?
[23:23:00] CanadaBoy: NightMonkey: what about pre2_ck108k?
[23:23:00] NightMonkey: CanadaBoy: Nope.
[23:23:00] xris: NightMonkey: no. only the client needs to care. hosts entries work fine for vhosts
[23:23:00] Juski: ahhh.. I didn't unset the USE flag I didn't know about
[23:23:00] Juski: lol
[23:24:00] CanadaBoy: ha ha can't catcha break tonight
[23:24:00] FunkyELF: Urgo, I'm wondering how to set it up....I heard somewhere that they are both supposed to be Tuner0
[23:24:00] xris: client resolves the ip, tells teh server that it wants "example.com" in the query, and the server parses it accordingly.
[23:24:00] Urgo: FunkyELF: I used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PVR_500_Setup baseline, but by no means is it complete :)
[23:25:00] NightMonkey: xris: You're right. Forgot that the client request header is what does the magic.
[23:25:00] Urgo: FunkyELF: I still haven't seen any tv coming from my card so I can't say for sure, but thats what that guide says, tuner0 for both..
[23:26:00] Juski: I like progress.. but I'm sorry if I have to keep abreast of every last package's development just to do basic configuration
[23:26:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Yeah, then do an "emerge --newuse -puDv world" and see what's gonna get blasted, er, I mean, rebuilt.
[23:26:00] Juski: this is a new install, NK
[23:26:00] Juski: *NightMonkey
[23:26:00] ** MrSpiffy just mentioned putting mythtv in the fedora-extras package on #fedora **
[23:27:00] MrSpiffy: it was a mistake
[23:27:00] NightMonkey: Juski: Problem was Gentoo's old apache config way was pretty different than just about every other distro...
[23:27:00] Juski: like this time around mythtv didn't have a dependency for xmltv.. didn't find that out til mythtv-setup farted
