[00:17:41] quantum_: I have run into a problem, when I launch mythfrontend I get the following message and no buttons on the first page: QGLContext::makeCurrent(): Cannot make invalid context current.
[00:17:41] quantum_: I saw a suppid fix for this with mythfrontend -O UseOpenGLPainter=0, but that has not fixed the problem
[00:18:11] Led-Hed (Led-Hed!n=LedHed@75.151.70.113) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:18:15] quantum_: I am guessing this is an issue since I switched from QT to OpenGL which obviously doesn't work, but since I can't get back to that screen I can't change it back
[00:18:23] quantum_: anybody have any idea how to fix this?
[00:19:04] quantum_: is there a list of options somewhere I really need one that will change it back to QT I think

[00:20:40] quantum_: cool thanks much
[00:20:46] directhex: that looks nicey bikkit
[00:20:56] poodyp_: last ditch try would be mythfrontend --reset
[00:21:03] iamlindoro_: directhex, bikkit?
[00:21:04] quantum_: what does that do
[00:21:08] quantum_: --reset
[00:21:14] directhex: bikkit! wanna bikkit!
[00:21:29] directhex: quantum_, deletes all files on your disk except kernel & mythfrontend
[00:21:40] quantum_: hmm not quite what I want

[00:22:07] ** iamlindoro_ continues to struggle to understand bikkit **
[00:22:21] quantum_: anyway the QT command fixed it, now to figure out why HD card seems to skip even on low bitrate channels
[00:23:22] quantum_: is there any way to tell if the skipping is during playback or is recorded that way. I suspect it is recorded that way
[00:23:50] iamlindoro_: recording errors in digital capture are generally accompannied by major picture corruption
[00:24:06] iamlindoro_: if the picture is sound, just jumpy, it's unlikely it's recording errors
[00:24:18] quantum_: I don't get any picture corruption at all. picture looks great just a fraction of a second loss every 10 to 60 seconds
[00:24:45] iamlindoro_: Then it's probably fine
[00:25:10] quantum_: I have a dual core 1.8 GHz intel I think
[00:26:11] quantum_: HD is seriously kick ass. I was running analog recording off an antenna for a long time
[00:27:03] GreyFoxx: iamlindoro: Any chance I can peek at the xml for that PBB screen? promise I wont steal your ideas ;)
[00:27:12] iamlindoro_: GreyFoxx, sure, of course
[00:27:21] iamlindoro_: GreyFoxx, If you want I'll tar the whole thing up for you
[00:27:28] GreyFoxx: Sure :)
[00:27:33] iamlindoro_: Mind the many commented passages
[00:27:38] iamlindoro_: commented out, that is
[00:27:41] GreyFoxx: hehe no worries
[00:27:55] GreyFoxx: I assume I'll need the latest pbb patch as well
[00:28:05] iamlindoro_: Also have *no* idea how it will look on proper 16:9 versus my 1366x768 screen
[00:28:07] iamlindoro_: yeah
[00:28:17] iamlindoro_: lemme clean up the dir, two minutes
[00:28:21] GreyFoxx: 1366x768 here
[00:30:18] quantum_: when I record non-HD channels I get the lines at the top which is the closed caption stuff I believe, and since it plays it as a small portion of the screen it is very visible, is there any way to fix this. I can manually zoom in and scroll it of the screen but that is a pain in the butt to do each time
[00:30:21] iamlindoro_: including the .svgs from inkscape too
[00:35:51] iamlindoro_: GreyFoxx, There's a lot of useless stuff in there right now, and some stolen images from blootube so that it wouldn't crash outright, but it should be more or less functional

[00:39:10] iamlindoro_: gbee, An included font for a theme can sit in the theme's dir, right? doesn't need to be installed in /usr/share/fonts etc?
[00:41:58] gbee: iamlindoro_: I can't remember
[00:42:34] iamlindoro_: OK :) Well Greyfoxx can not install it and find out
[00:42:39] iamlindoro_: then we'll all know :)

[00:46:26] gbee: talking myself into this new theme idea, http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newtheme5.png
[00:46:47] iamlindoro_: Heh, that looks really good
[00:47:39] iamlindoro_: I like that khaki-ish color scheme too
[00:49:03] iamlindoro_: gbee, Not to bug you, but in terms tof the animation you think you'll have done for .22, do you think scrolling buttonlists are in the cards? It's really the only stuff I can see myself wanting ATM
[00:49:27] gbee: scrolling in what way?
[00:49:55] iamlindoro_: gbee, well, take the grouplist in my PBB... would like for it to slide smoothly to the next (slide the items upwards
[00:50:01] iamlindoro_: and downwards)
[00:50:28] gbee: ahh, I'll have to produce the 'no idea' card again
[00:50:33] iamlindoro_: heh, fair enough
[00:51:16] gbee: ideally yes, but I'm not really sure how simple it will be, what challenges are involved
[00:51:39] iamlindoro_: occurred to me because I was thinking how nice your MythVideo screen would be if it slid along
[00:51:48] gbee: yeah
[00:51:51] wylie: i agree.  ;b
[00:53:44] gbee: there is also another aspect there though, the centre image is larger, so would it slide then 'pop' into place, to look really good an additional zooming animation be needed
[00:53:57] iamlindoro_: yep
[00:55:12] gbee: and where the selected button is arranged differently, well lets just say animating could become complicated for a themer
[00:57:18] iamlindoro_: Would need to be scripted in order in an animation tag
[00:57:39] erb: anyone have much experience with an ati all in wonder remote and ubuntu
[00:57:41] gbee: aye

[01:11:03] justinp_home: I've been through the eggshellskull.com tutorial back to front, but still get nothing more than irsend: Connection refused
[01:11:28] iamlindoro_: or even scratch the zoom/shrink bit and make it a movetonext type eg "<movetonext type="slideresize" /> where the slide and resize are animated at the same time
[01:12:39] iamlindoro_: so have the code figure out "I am at 0,0,140,210 and need to be at 100,0,160,250" and animate the transition. Sounds like something GL would be much better at, though

[01:33:21] abqjp: iamlindoro_ I wonder how it would look to move the preview below the callsign, and make the description a new "column" next to the the callsign/preview, but below the title/subtitle? Only reason to do that, would be to *possibly* free up space for more than 4 episodes at the bottom. I really like it the way it is, just thinking about possibilities.
[01:34:32] iamlindoro_: I'm trying to keep it consistent with the other screens that follow this convention, ie http://www.fecitfacta.com/theme-MythMusic.png and http://www.fecitfacta.com/theme-MV-browser.png
[01:34:48] iamlindoro_: and while I know it's important to you, my primary aim isn't really to cram in as much info as I can
[01:36:20] abqjp: But, but, but....

[01:38:59] abqjp: I was curious how you chose the size of the left column. Seeing those last two screens it is obvious. How long of a "Title" can the left column handle? Probably not "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", but that's okay.
[01:39:34] iamlindoro_: "Battlestar galactica" is probably just about the outside edge
[01:39:49] iamlindoro_: But no more constrained than the "new" PBB tabs
[01:40:46] iamlindoro_: This theme is very very very not overscan safe :)
[01:41:05] abqjp: What is the preview area going to be used for on the music/video screens?
[01:41:49] abqjp: Before myth could scale UI screens for the user, overscan safe was important. Not so much anymore.
[01:42:18] iamlindoro_: abqjp, In Music, for visualizations, in mythvideo, when the video widget is done it will play the trailer, or fall back to the film itself
[01:42:21] iamlindoro_: http://www.fecitfacta.com/theme-PBB-round3.png
[01:42:26] iamlindoro_: That should be "final"
[01:42:41] iamlindoro_: (ish)

[01:49:46] kisak: specifically, my question is if I need ivtv-utils with 2.6.27 for mythtv to use the pvr150 properly
[01:51:05] Anduin: mythtv doesn't directly use anything normally packaged in something named ivtv-utils
[01:51:09] jamesd: kisak, there was but they all emerged world 15 minutes ago... so your too late ;-)

[01:51:41] kisak: jamesd: what?
[01:52:24] jamesd: they upgrade they are no longer using those versions... your too late, you have to be on the bleeding edge to run gentoo
[01:52:50] kisak: what versions?
[01:53:57] Sedorox: hrm
[01:54:11] Sedorox: I believe .27 and .28 have the latest ivtv drivers
[01:54:17] Sedorox: so no need to emerge ivtv
[01:56:54] kisak: ivtv 1.2.0 was for 2.6.25 only, then it appears a new package called ivtv-utils is replacing it (I haven't confirmed that) with a 1.3.0 version, and no matter how I beat my head against it, linux-headers for 2.6.27 and ivtv-utils don't play with each other

[02:03:54] iamlindoro_: ivtv is included in the kernel
[02:04:10] iamlindoro_: ivtv-utils is tools for manipulating ivtv cards, not a driver
[02:04:51] kisak: and mythtv uses nothing from ivtv-utils to say, change channels?
[02:04:55] iamlindoro_: correct

[02:05:25] kisak: I'm just trying to cover my bases
[02:05:51] iamlindoro_: mythtv uses APIs to manipulate hardware, not command line utilities

[02:11:44] d0netsFN: so whoever said its the same, could you clarify? am i supposed to do anything else
[02:12:03] d0netsFN: also im pretty sure i set everything the same as i did in ubuntu + mythtv, but when i hit watch tv it just goes back to the menu
[02:21:40] squish102: is there a way to realign my recordings in mythtv with disk?
[02:21:57] squish102: the files dont exist anymore on disk
[02:21:58] iamlindoro_: d0netsFN, sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager

[02:22:11] iamlindoro_: restart X
[02:22:25] iamlindoro_: squish102, myth.find_orphans.pl
[02:22:42] squish102: thanks iamlindoro_
[02:23:10] iamlindoro_: squish102, run it alone at first to see what it plans to do, then add --dodelete to delete errant files, --dodbdelete to delete errant DB entries
[02:24:17] iamlindoro_: d0netsFN, As for the rest, it's all likely to be in your backend log, but suffice to say you did *not* set everything up properly in mythtv-setup
[02:25:56] d0netsFN: ok after sudo update-alternatives --configure x-window-manager
[02:25:57] d0netsFN: i picked 3
[02:26:02] d0netsFN: do i need to restart or what
[02:26:12] iamlindoro_: Well what did I tell you to do?

[02:27:53] iamlindoro_: otherwise follow up in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-mythtv
[02:28:00] iamlindoro_: as it's not on-topic here
[02:28:15] scatterp: does myth tv work on a mac ?
[02:28:46] iamlindoro_: The frontend does, and in a very limited capacity the backend does
[02:29:59] scatterp: oh intresting
[02:30:12] scatterp: and can it stream movies from usenet ?
[02:30:18] iamlindoro_: uh... no
[02:30:25] iamlindoro_: where would you get that idea?
[02:30:36] iamlindoro_: Myth is a DVR, not a copyright-circumvention device
[02:31:03] iamlindoro_: And, by the way, it never will, nor will it ever use/support/etc torrents
[02:31:19] scatterp: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oax-gDYHVxU
[02:31:22] scatterp: right here
[02:31:39] iamlindoro_: that has nothing to do with this project, and we like it that way
[02:31:44] scatterp: note not all movies on usenet are copyrighted
[02:32:06] scatterp: oh hmm i guess i missunderstood the video
[02:32:06] iamlindoro_: note we don't give two craps, and don't allow discussion of usenet, torrents, etc.
[02:32:26] GreyFoxx: scatterp: That is someone showing non supported 3rd party patches
[02:32:45] scatterp: oh that makes a little more sense
[02:32:49] scatterp: i was confused :S
[02:33:11] scatterp: so does this run on windows ?
[02:33:32] iamlindoro_: depends on what you mean by "run" and who is running it
[02:33:34] GreyFoxx: You can compile it to do so, but not's not an official release
[02:33:44] GreyFoxx: and I would expect it to be incomplete or unstable
[02:33:55] iamlindoro_: if run = "function at all adequately," then no
[02:33:59] scatterp: oh ill stick with the boot cd then
[02:34:18] scatterp: what hardware should i get to fully support the system
[02:34:28] scatterp: any recomended specs

[03:21:30] iamlindoro_: hadees, I supposer you could do a truncate table recordedprogram;
[03:21:57] iamlindoro_: should be okay to do so, but would be easier/wiser to figure out why myth.find_orphans.pl isn't working
[03:22:10] iamlindoro_: what output is it giving? Pastebin the output of running it alone with no options
[03:22:24] Anduin: recorded
[03:27:10] hadees: iamlindoro_, its only one line, ERROR: no directory found or specified when i do give it the dir it gives http://pastie.org/353480, but the two files are ones i just recorded and when i log into mythtv i see more recordings, did things change recently and maybe the script isn't working because i'm using trunk atm because of the HDPVRS
[03:27:54] hadees: i had to switch the hd i use for recordings hence why i have none now
[03:28:00] iamlindoro_: hadees, sure you're not just looking at a filter that includes livetv?
[03:28:55] hadees: iamlindoro, i don't even see that in the options

[03:45:26] hadees: well i did find one problem with find_orphans, it doesn't seem to escape the text so descriptions with SQL reserved chars in it cause problems

[07:38:32] poodyp_: basically I run mythtv-setup, see the backend, try to connect and get "cannot login to database?"
[07:39:08] wagnerrp: mythtv-setup is not needed on a frontend-only machine

[07:39:44] poodyp_: rather, mythfrontend
[07:39:57] wagnerrp: just make sure that file exists in that location (probably the latter) and provides the correct information
[07:40:13] wagnerrp: if you used the upnp connection method, you dont even have to create that file manually
[07:40:30] wagnerrp: also, make sure your permissions are set up properly in mysql to allow the new machine to connect
[07:41:56] poodyp_: file exists, and I used this: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythfrontend to set permissions
[07:43:03] wagnerrp: do you have any other machines? or is your only other mythtv box the one hosting the mysql server?
[07:43:59] poodyp_: yes this is the only other mythtv box
[07:44:41] wagnerrp: your mysql server may not be listening on the network at all
[07:45:27] poodyp_: what can I check for besides bind-address and skip-networking?
[07:45:44] wagnerrp: i think loopback and file socket access only are standard mysql setup for most linux distros
[07:45:52] wagnerrp: as for how to change it? no idea
[07:45:58] wagnerrp: ive never run mysql on a linux system
[07:49:47] wagnerrp: basically, those are the only three you need to worry about mysql
[07:50:00] wagnerrp: network operation, mysql permissions, and local permissions settings

[13:36:09] justinh: bye then
[13:36:23] mason: i just wanna know if its possible to use the mythtvbackend on a debian without any xserver? to use it with another frontend ... or is a xserver mandatory ?
[13:36:48] justinh: you need X to set mythtv up
[13:37:12] mason: hmm shit ... since i would like to run it on a headless mediaserver i have
[13:37:15] mason: to bad
[13:37:15] janneg: mason: it requires the x libraries, not a full x server on the backend
[13:37:17] mason: thanks
[13:37:25] mason: oh okay that sounds better
[13:37:39] poodyp_: you can get awayy with a remote x
[13:37:45] justinh: most mortals who come here wanting to set myth up remotely have no luck at all
[13:38:02] justinh: they'd all have been better off spending a few minutes ot fit a video card :)
[13:38:03] janneg: you can set it up using X11 forwarding over ssh for example
[13:38:36] justinh: janneg: yes, people could do that.. or er.. whether they can or not is the question ;)
[13:38:44] mason: hmm will see ... since im no linux pro and i would kill myself if i fuck up my machine ;)
[13:38:52] mason: thats the point hehe

[13:49:01] mason: thats a point
[13:49:15] mason: i have no experience with mythtv yet
[13:49:43] mason: but i like the headless debian server ... is like set and forget
[13:49:57] mason: and all deamons are usually writing logfiles for status
[13:50:28] mason: i fear the use of x will slow down the whole system there
[13:51:05] troldrik: loi
[13:51:32] troldrik: stop using a 8088?
[13:51:52] poodyp_: lol
[13:52:19] mason: but if i get you right ... im able to use the backend as deamon (when its completly setup) without x?
[13:52:21] mason: :P
[13:52:46] justinh: yeah X uses so many resources. oh man. just bogs everything down so much, hogging up that 0.0001% of CPU time
[13:53:17] justinh: and a whole 20M of ram. jees.
[13:53:24] mason: oh come on ... i have no need for ... all the other shit runs perfectly
[13:53:29] mason: without
[13:53:35] mason: sorry language again
[13:53:37] mason: stuff
[13:53:47] justinh: and by not installing X libs at all, you'd have enough spare HDD space to store 30 seconds of SDTV mpeg2
[13:54:31] mason: i never done anything with x yet ... im fine on the cli ... and since im new to mythtv ... i guess ill get enough problems anyway ;)
[13:55:34] justinh: well, it's certainly your problem not mine. so have fun :)
[13:56:04] mason: i will :)

[14:15:13] James1324: well, I found the only way to playback > 10mbit/s on my t2300 laptop was with coreavc codecs
[14:15:22] sshirley: justinh: but is that dedicated to the mythtv driver for the hd-pvr
[14:15:28] James1324: everything else lagged too much
[14:15:58] justinh: mythtv driver? wtf are you talking about?
[14:16:34] James1324: I think he needs more helps with the setup
[14:16:41] sshirley: I'm talking about the alpha version of a new driver for the hd-pvr so that mythtv recognizes it as a tuner (or source)
[14:17:24] justinh: sshirley: there's a linux driver to make it work in linux, and then you need to use the trunk (development) version of mythtv to be able to use it
[14:18:07] justinh: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/HDPVR
[14:18:13] James1324: sshirley, have you thought about using sagetv?
[14:19:02] sshirley: Well, first I just want to know just HOW alpha it is. I was using mythtv last year and switched to media center because of the better stabilitiy (I know, I know...I had to swallow a lot of linux pride for that). Now I got a HD-PVR and there is no support for it in MCE. I switched to MediaPortal (an open source mediacenter app for windows) last week because it has support for it (sorta), but it sucks. I'd like to try mythtv again if I can really get
[14:19:38] sshirley: justinh: I've read all about it in the wiki. I was just hoping to talk to someone to someone who is actually using it.
[14:19:52] justinh: switched to MCE for better stability? ouch. I don't recommend you run trunk with that level of experience then
[14:20:18] sshirley: justinh: Ok, I wonder how alpha that trunk version of mythtv is.
[14:20:33] justinh: people use it day to day & find it generally works okay
[14:21:02] justinh: but you'd be at the bleeding edge, so you have to decide whether hd-pvr functionality is more important than anything else
[14:22:50] janneg (janneg!n=janne@tichy.grunau.be) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[14:22:56] justinh: it's not necessarily any worse than running 0.21-fixes, but could indeed be more stable. It all depends on the state of the code when you check it out :)
[14:23:01] mason: sshirley check out xbmc
[14:23:22] sshirley: The software that comes with the hd-pvr can do scheduling and recording, but straight to h264 *.ts files, which I can get media player to play. But there is no channel or episode info the file (which sucks). It's important to me to be able to have integration into my media center. So I guess the bleeding edge is where I need to be. :-)
[14:23:31] mason: its way better than mediaportal
[14:23:36] sshirley: xbmc did look good
[14:23:48] sshirley: And it has support for the hd-pvr?
[14:23:53] justinh: xbmc is just a media playing file browser
[14:23:59] mason: thats the point ... its perfect for media -the tv ;)
[14:24:00] justinh: and it doesn't support ANY kind of TV
[14:24:00] shadash: mythv support of hdpvr is decent
[14:24:19] mason: but support for mythtv as backend is right in development
[14:24:20] shadash: but developers are trying to make it perfect before releasing .22
[14:24:52] mason: therefor im here lol
[14:25:07] shadash: .22 was supposed to be released before xmas new years but has slipped
[14:25:25] justinh: what are you talking about?
[14:25:29] laga: shadash: can you back up those claims?
[14:25:29] shadash: hopefully it will come soon
[14:25:31] justinh: there was no 'supposed'
[14:25:40] shadash: laga: just wat I was told
[14:25:48] justinh: there are no release plans
[14:25:53] justinh: no firm release dates
[14:25:53] shadash: I understand
[14:25:59] justinh: it'll be ready when it's ready
[14:26:02] justinh: stop your BS
[14:26:19] shadash: that was a little extreme
[14:26:52] justinh: I understand that not knowing is fine.. great. but making stuff up off the cuff is unacceptable
[14:27:03] shadash: I was told that
[14:27:09] shadash: sheesh
[14:27:12] justinh: well, whoever told you that was lying
[14:27:15] sshirley: Really? So XBMC (which runs on Linux) is doing development on being a MythTV-frontend (essentially)?
[14:27:23] justinh: no
[14:27:59] justinh: something XBMC will not have when mythtv 0.22 is out, is hardware accelerated playback in linux :)
[14:28:56] justinh: its 'native' support of mythtv is supposed to work out of the box now, only it doesn't. and it's very unstable
[14:29:31] justinh: I'd sooner run trunk mythtv. at least that mostly works all the time
[14:29:52] sphery: Anyone know which repo Ubuntu has the debug packages for the weekly builds in? Want to say so on http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6077 ?
[14:30:10] justinh: can't get xbmc to work on my windows laptop, and on linux.. it won't play anything back smoothly at all :-\
[14:31:36] sphery: but I'll bet it looks pretty...
[14:31:48] sshirley: So the current trunk supports the hd-pvr? Is read somewhere that I could use the release verion of mythtv but would have to patch the hell out of it.
[14:31:50] sphery: (that's a joke)
[14:32:01] justinh: the menu transitions are nice. but it spends a lot of time on a blank screen :)
[14:32:14] mason: xbmc runs perfect on my end ... and with the ability to playback mythrecordings it would be perfect
[14:32:31] sphery: sshirley: AIUI, patch it to make upgrading to 0.22 when it's released a chore (you'll have to undo all the stuff done to the DB before you can upgrade)
[14:32:54] justinh: sshirley: yes current trunk support the hd-pvr – and if you have a certain kind of nvidia card, it'll work with nvidia's beta driver's GPU video playback acceleration too
[14:33:47] sphery: sshirley: so, the /best/ bet is to not use an HD-PVR until 0.22 is released. If that doesn't work, you should use trunk, but that means signing up for and reading all the messages on the -dev and -commits list and /not/ bugging developers with invalid bug reports/questions about how to use new stuff or about why things don't work the way you're used to.
[14:33:55] mason: gpu acc is a point ... but i rather have the cpu power in the frontend and not in the backend
[14:34:08] sshirley: Unfortunately I have a ATI Radeon 2600HD. Great card. I just have to use a proprietary driver for it (which doesn't bother me but some linux purists have issues with that).
[14:34:09] sphery: mason: that's the best approach! :)
[14:34:46] justinh: you need a strong CPU to play back hd-pvr recordings, then

[14:35:04] troldrik: sshirley: if the proprietary drivers were worth anything... nvidia's are.

[14:35:29] justinh: windows != linux
[14:35:42] mason: i have no problem with that with it on my frontend .. plays everything i throw at ...issue is ... the frontend is not up 24/7 so i love to have the mythtvbackend running on my server
[14:35:44] sshirley: gotcha
[14:35:55] sphery: no supported video decode, yet, with ATI proprietary, but software decode is better, anyway

[14:36:45] sshirley: Righto....that's why h264 playing sucked in mythtv. that was a major reason I switched to mce.
[14:36:54] justinh: software decoding is better? since when?
[14:37:07] mason: since you dont have to struggle with videodrivers and stuff
[14:37:28] troldrik: Does vdpau allow do cpu/gpu postprocessing on the decoded video?
[14:37:42] mason: and it works regarding your gfx card ..
[14:37:48] justinh: deinterlacing & stuff, yes
[14:37:55] justinh: no cpu involvement though
[14:37:57] mason: it works even with some crappy onboad card if you have the cpu power
[14:38:12] sshirley: This is a little predictament I'm in. h264 decoding was harsh on my system (very jerky) when I ran linux (because of the drivers I guess). But MediaPortal sucks and MCE has no support for it.
[14:38:20] justinh: all that happens is the video stream is shoved into the GPU directly
[14:38:21] shadash: justinh: are you modifying greyhem for .22?
[14:38:26] justinh: shadash: NO
[14:38:30] justinh: nor blootube
[14:38:36] justinh: nor blootube-wide
[14:38:40] mason: so xbmc is your friend as frontend
[14:38:40] justinh: nor glass-wide
[14:38:43] James1324: anyone who thinks that there computer can't play h264 (because its too bloody slow) has gotta try coreavc codec
[14:38:52] laga: James1324: or latest ffmpeg.
[14:38:53] mason: and mediaportal is pretty bad compared to xbmc ...
[14:38:55] shadash: too much of a pita?
[14:38:56] James1324: my 1.6ghz can play 720p
[14:39:00] James1324: or 1080i
[14:39:02] justinh: shadash: users are, yes
[14:39:16] James1324: laga, I had bad exp with ffmeg
[14:39:18] James1324: way too slow
[14:39:20] laga: also the release-0-21-fixes branch has improved support for 0.21 – compared to the 0.21 release
[14:39:24] laga: James1324: it's been improved.
[14:39:32] James1324: does it support dual core tho?
[14:39:33] mason: ffmpeg is perfect if you have the cpu for it
[14:39:38] justinh: James1324: yes
[14:39:42] laga: James1324: if your video has more than one slice
[14:39:44] mason: for slower systems you coreavc is the choise
[14:39:45] justinh: only for sliced streams
[14:39:45] James1324: it didn't 5 months ago
[14:39:51] James1324: so hopefully your not making this up ;)
[14:39:53] justinh: it's not 5 months ago!

[14:40:11] James1324: ahh, I've gotta check ffmpeg now
[14:40:15] sshirley: Mason: yes
[14:40:18] mason: oh okay
[14:40:23] James1324: I'll see how it compares to coreavc
[14:40:23] troldrik: There's a wrapper for coreavc.
[14:40:36] mason: wrapper sounds like problem ;)
[14:40:47] James1324: lol
[14:41:05] James1324: a lot of good things are inside wrappers tho ;)
[14:41:06] sshirley: I think what I'll do then is stick with mce for a while and deal with the nastiness of playing only video files without any episode info until mythv 0.22 comes out.
[14:41:31] James1324: or you can give SageTv a try
[14:41:35] mason: xbmc have scrappers for that
[14:41:42] troldrik: I haven't tried their myth patches... but the mplayer one either worked perfectly... or very badly... depending on the file. :/
[14:41:52] justinh: yeah sagetv is free on thepiratebay
[14:42:06] James1324: which ver?
[14:42:09] James1324: you need 6.4
[14:42:13] James1324: at least
[14:42:28] justinh: who cares.. I was joking
[14:42:32] sshirley: My media center hard drive is large enough. I could dual boot for a while and try both.
[14:43:15] sshirley: Hmmmm....Has anyone here tried SageTV? Is it worth the effort . I know they have HD-PVR support.

[14:46:09] mason: if youre on windows try dvbviewer

[14:53:22] sshirley: Ok, guys. I gotta get going. But you've helped me out. I'm going to stick with MCE (and deal with no integration) until MythTV 0.22 comes out. Or if I have nothing to do on a Sunday, maybe dual booth and try the trunk version of MythTV.
[14:53:28] justinh: well if you want to waste your money paying for coreavc, you go right ahead :)
[14:53:44] sshirley: $15 is not a whole lot of money to get smooth playback!
[14:53:46] James1324: and so I'll stick with coreavc on my 1.6 core 2 duo.. so I can still play my 1080i movies :)
[14:54:30] justinh: my c2d 1.6Ghz can play 1080i h.264 from BBC HD just fine thanks. in linux

[17:47:55] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: Depends on the board – if it's got spdif output via RCA or Optical on the board, then you use that. Some cards can output the digital audio on one of the 1/8" audio jacks, and you'll need an adapter cable to feed that into your receiver.

[17:50:31] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: ... and if it's onboard- which yours seems to be, there may be a header on the motherboard for the SPDIF connections – you'll need the [probably optional] spdif adapter to use it.

[17:59:13] Guest72990: everytime I try to switch inputs I am getting a seggault. I thought it used to be working so I am not sure what has changed. I looked at dmesg and see this: mythfrontend[21521]: segfault at 60 ip 0000003f04e6eb6e sp 00007f6b32f25860 error 4 in libGL.so.177.80[3f04e00000+98000]. Anybody know what might be causing this?

[18:00:50] tomtom099: yes
[18:00:51] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: (like a PS2 keyboard connector, but only 4 pins instead of 6)
[18:01:28] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: that's probably just for Composite Video output. Looks like it also came with a Component Video output bracket.
[18:03:57] tomtom099: actually, this one is not exactly mine... I have a HDMI connector but no DVI connector (but the spec of mine variant is not online). I dont care for component video, currently I use s-video, and in the future i want to use the HDMI
[18:04:15] tomtom099: Does a HDMI cable carry any 5.1 sound?
[18:05:09] keith4: the HDMI standard includes audio, yes
[18:05:27] keith4: but that doesn't mean your HDMI port will include audio out
[18:05:36] tomtom099: oh... :)
[18:05:48] tomtom099: is it analog or digital audio then?
[18:05:49] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: It has the capability, but wether the chipset supports it and/or if it's supported [yet] in Linux is another question.
[18:06:16] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: digital, of course.
[18:07:05] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: Not sure if it's correct, but one guy says the included S-video adapter is also the digital out... Does the card slot have labels on the connectors?
[18:07:42] keith4: wow
[18:07:44] keith4: that's messed up
[18:08:37] tomtom099: not labeled at all
[18:09:03] tomtom099: the coax is yellow, so I expected a composite video there, but that was not the case..... so it might be a SPDIF
[18:09:38] Guest72990: o.k. I switched the video playback quality and it seems like it has mostly fixed the problem, but when I try swapt the main/PIP it hangs the mythfrontend with this error repeating in the shell: NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.
[18:09:43] Guest72990: anyody know what that means?
[18:11:09] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: one site I just found lists the backpates as: 1) YPbPr/S-video pin header cable 1) S-Video-IN / Video-IN pin header cable

[18:12:59] Guest72990: another problem I have is that when playing dvd's everything is screwed up, before I upgrade myth could play dvds fine. is there a better dvd player that can be used. right now it is default which is apparently internal mplayer
[18:13:14] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: if there was hardware decoding for H.264 and MPEG4, I'd probably buy one of those... but since I'm going HD, I'm gonna pass... (SD would be fine though)

[18:15:16] Guest72990: J-e-f-f-A_, o.k. that could be a problem since one is analog and the other digital
[18:15:20] J-e-f-f-A|work: Guest72990: Internal player is not mplayer – it's Myth's internal media player. You can change the DVD player to Xine or Mplayer, or whatever – there are details on the wiki.
[18:15:58] Guest72990: J-e-f-f-A_, any idea which player is "most" compatible with a standard dvd hardware device
[18:16:06] J-e-f-f-A|work: Guest72990: So for PIP, maybe it doesn't know how to deal with that yet...
[18:16:22] thefront is now known as thefRont
[18:16:31] Guest72990: J-e-f-f-A_, yeah it is probably trying to show the analog channel on the digial tuner which screwed me up before
[18:17:02] thefRont: I wonder if mythfrontend will run flawlessly under virtualbox
[18:17:08] J-e-f-f-A|work: Guest72990: the hardware isn't the issue usually, it's the encoding. Try Xine outside of MythTV, and if you like it better, setup Myth to use it to play DVDs instead. You'll have to setup your remote for Xine too...
[18:17:10] thefRont: let's check it out
[18:17:40] J-e-f-f-A|work: thefRont: Good luck — doesnt virtualbox use 'vesa' display modes?
[18:17:59] thefRont: I'm not exactly sure
[18:18:12] Guest72990: J-e-f-f-A_, well I mean if I stick the disk in an old dvd player it plays fine, I can see the menues etc. but through mytht it is just kind of garbled and locks up a bit
[18:18:58] thefRont: but this would be a great replacement for winmyth for me because that doesn't work at all
[18:19:15] tomtom099: jeff: what did you mean, what you'd buy?
[18:19:22] thefRont: maybe because winmyth and mythtv 0.21 use different protocol versions
[18:20:54] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: I would buy that for a myth frontend if it was powerful enough to decode HighDefinition.
[18:21:18] Guest72990: J-e-f-f-A_, from the wiki it sounds like the internal player should work fine, but that does not appear to be the case. weird
[18:21:33] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: It might have a prayer at doing US ATSC HD with via XvMC, but doesn't have a prayer at decoding H.264 or MPEG4 in software.
[18:22:13] yalu: Hi! there is q menu in mythtv "dvd/cd" qnd under it you can play vcd's, dvd's and rip cd's. However you cannot simply play a cd. Yes I know about mythmusic but I find it cumbersome for "just" playing a cd.

[18:22:33] tomtom099: I dont understand what you mean "have a prayer"
[18:22:48] yalu: make a cross and hope that helps? :-)
[18:23:19] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: It doesn't have enough processing power to decode High Definition that's encoded as H.264 or MPEG4 — you need a 3GHz + 'real' processor to handle that...
[18:23:24] GreyFoxx: yalu: You mean play an audio CD ?
[18:23:31] yalu: GreyFoxx: yes that
[18:23:35] GreyFoxx: Mythmusic
[18:23:36] GreyFoxx: play cd
[18:23:48] tomtom099: ok :)
[18:23:53] yalu: yes... it's somewhat un-cd-playerish... make a playlist add tracks etc
[18:24:16] tomtom099: but what can I do next to go for audio?
[18:24:20] GreyFoxx: Does it? I've not once in the last 5 or so years played an audio cd with myth so I've never seen it  :)
[18:24:23] octavsly: BTW. Maybe you guys know. Does it make sense to activate hyperthreading with mythtv?
[18:25:13] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: You'll have to look at the manual to see if it has SPDIF outputs — if not, perhaps a USB sound card with SPDIF would be the only way you could do it, unless you feel like droppping a PCI card in it...
[18:26:02] tomtom099: no SPDIF mentioned in the manual, I have searched it trice back- and forward now :-))
[18:26:34] J-e-f-f-A|work: iamlindoro___: I only spent about 30 mins on my system last-night [got home really late], but got video to play fine using VDPAU. Updating to the latest trunk seemed to fix it, must have been a bug in there or something whint amuck with my first compile.. . I dunno, it's working onw.
[18:27:01] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: And all the little 'headers' are clearly defined as to what they are in the manual?
[18:27:08] tomtom099: cant get it into my head that they built this "6 channel audio" piece on the board, and no connectors to it ?!?!?
[18:27:51] J-e-f-f-A|work: tomtom099: IT may be 6-channel Analog audio — in chich case you'd need 3x 18" sterio to RCA jacks, and a sterio with 5.1 analog input...
[18:28:05] tomtom099: little headers :-) yes, except for one that I dont understand, its called LVDS

[18:29:45] J-e-f-f-A|work: Guest72990: In the setup, you change the playback application for DVDs from "Internal" to "mplayer ...<options>" – there should be a wiki page for it...

[18:37:51] gbee: happily there is a patch in trac that I suspect will allow DVD streaming to work properly from a drive at 1x
[18:39:08] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: Humm... so it's either 'max' or '1x' currently?
[18:39:40] gbee: J-e-f-f-A: no, 1x, 2x, 4x etc through to 12x
[18:40:13] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: Ah, so if he sets it to 2x or 4x, he might be ok [assuming he's got it set to 1x now?]
[18:40:19] gbee: but I've found that with some drives it needs to be 8x-12x before it stops choking
[18:40:31] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: ouch.
[18:40:49] gbee: J-e-f-f-A: possibly, I'm just suggesting the max as a quick way to debug
[18:41:23] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: sounds like it waits too long before reuesting more data, thus the buffer empties before the new data comes in...
[18:41:31] gbee: the other thing to do is disable xvmc if you are using it, since that might cause problems with the menus
[18:42:37] gbee: J-e-f-f-A: yeah, the drive isn't streaming as it should be from what I can tell, patch in trac suggests we're not properly telling the drive to switch to streaming mode
[18:43:30] gbee: but it's all guesswork on my part, not bothered enough about it to try fixing it myself
[18:43:35] unimaginative: gbee: would xvmc cause the sound to cut out while the OSD is on screen?
[18:43:37] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: Ah, that's cool. ;-)  — and now that I've got a test box built and running Trunk, I'll start to make more meaningful contributions [ie patches]... as time goes on...  ;-) [about time, eh?]
[18:43:58] gbee: my drives are all quiet at 12x, so it makes no difference
[18:44:20] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: Until you have a poorly balanced DVD...  ;-)
[18:44:55] gbee: wonder how DVD menus fair with vdpau, haven't tried it yet
[18:45:43] J-e-f-f-A|work: gbee: I haven't tried it yet, but the OSD looks much cleaner in trunk... at least what I've seen so far, which has just been Live TV [ATSC HD] and a couple of test recordings.
[18:45:44] d0netsFN: ok
[18:45:51] d0netsFN: my mythweb asx streams worked last night when i tried it locally

[18:46:26] gbee: well it works on a DVD I happen to have ripped to this machine
[18:47:07] gbee: J-e-f-f-A: yeah the OSD looks better because it's rendered at the screen resolution rather than the video res, that's only been possible before now with the opengl renderer
[18:48:14] J-e-f-f-A|work: d0netsFN: Locally – IE in your home? Sounds like it's giving you your private address [ie 192.168.x.x] in the link instead of your public internet address. You can probably temporarily change the 192.168.x.x in the url to your external IP:port for now...

[18:49:29] iamlindoro____: read the ip address in it. If it's a 192.168 address, that's why it's failing

[19:12:57] kormoc: so get a usb to isa adapter!
[19:13:14] J-e-f-f-A|work: javatexan: two edge connectors on the drive, right? one IIRC is 20-pin, and the other IIRC is something like 34 pins.
[19:13:23] javatexan: yes
[19:13:42] jamesd: javatexan, the better question is why didn't you just copy its entire onto your newer harddrives as time goes on.. given that its probably only 10–40MB in size it wouldn't of made a dent into any harddrdive you have owned in the last 10 years...

[19:19:08] J-e-f-f-A|work: javatexan: Ok, yeah, RLL is the same connectors, with a different encoding for higher density. So you need an MFM RLL Controller Card...
[19:19:26] J-e-f-f-A|work: xris: I'll try. ;-)

[19:40:49] gbee: d0netsFN: then ignore us, if you get audio from the speakers but not headphones then it's not a software problem, could be that your headphones are broken, or that they have an inline volume control which is at zero

[19:41:21] javatexan: I saw that

[20:08:52] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: Ok, if you don't want to play/record them at the same time, you could get away with a PVR-500, which has 2 tuners, and 2 S-video inputs per tuner.

[20:10:57] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: yes, but only 1 at a time on each tuner, so if you have device A and B connected to Tuner 1, you can either use A or B, but not both. Same with C or D on T2... And you'd have to buy additional adapters from Hauppauge to get the additional inputs... ;-)

[20:11:44] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. The 500 has two tuners.
[20:12:09] justinh: two tuners and two mpeg encoders :)
[20:12:16] J-e-f-f-A|work: justinh: Only for the 2nd tuner on the 500. To access "S-video2" for each tuner, he'd need 2 more of the same bracket...
[20:12:24] justinh: two?
[20:12:27] gbee: average is around 4 though
[20:12:41] justinh: I thought the extra bracket was for all the inputs on the 2nd encoder
[20:12:47] iamlindoro____: gbee: Still pretty decent, my SD channels coming via firewire are closer to 3 Mbit
[20:13:03] justinh: iamlindoro____: yes, but your stuff is lower res than PAL ;)
[20:13:24] J-e-f-f-A|work: justinh: Yes, it is – for S-Video 1 [usually] on the 2nd tuner. But you can use the same brackets for the S-Video2 inputs of each tuner.
[20:13:29] justinh: about 100 lines less res :)
[20:13:41] Arceus_: J-e-f-f-A|work, Okey but i dont have to manually change the connections points? :)
[20:13:58] justinh: Arceus_: nope. the cards can switch between inputs
[20:14:25] justinh: but if you're already using one tuner, to record one input you can't switch to another & record something different at the same time
[20:14:47] hadees: anyone know whats wrong with this udev rule for my ivtv cards? DRIVERS=="ivtv", KERNEL=="video[0–9]*", NAME="v4l/ivtv%n", SYMLINK+="ivtv%n", GROUP="video"
[20:15:30] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: What you'll have to do is setup a 'group' for the two devices that are on the first tuner, ie "Sat_Dig", and Sattelite would be on Tuner1 S-Video1, and Digital would be on Tuner1 S-Video2. They could not be used at the same time in Myth.
[20:15:38] Arceus_: justinh, okey i dont really need to record anything at all, but how do i connect device A and B to T1 then? with that adapter?
[20:15:57] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: But the Ethernet box feeding S-Video1 on Tuner2 could be used simultaneously.
[20:15:59] justinh: oh but you DO need to record. mythtv records everything :) And I mean everything
[20:16:22] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: Yeah, what is your aim? Just to display the video on a computer monitor?
[20:16:24] Arceus_: justinh, Ah okey :)
[20:16:38] justinh: in mythtv, watching IS recording & watching
[20:16:51] justinh: the whole concept of a pvr :)
[20:17:00] Arceus_: J-e-f-f-A|work, On a TV screen with computer input
[20:17:23] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: yeah, Myth records to disk, then plays back from disk – always recorded, and a minimum 2 second delay.

[20:23:01] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: Maybe I'm confused, but I still don't understand... If your aim is to use that TV with Computer input for both your computer and TV, why not just hook the devices directly to the TV? And if it doesn't have 3 S-Video inputs, just use a switchbox?
[20:23:48] Arceus_: J-e-f-f-A|work, Then i need 4 remotes =( as i have right now

[20:26:20] Tempest2k: ?
[20:26:25] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: If you're going to use MythTV, best to use it as designed – ie: 1 tuner for each input, and then you 'hide' the Set-Top tuners (and their remotes), and everything is controlled by MythTV.
[20:28:09] Arceus_: J-e-f-f-A|work, Okey i maybe messed up something but if i do that way i need 2 PVR 500 right? or 3 ordinary cards
[20:28:30] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: No, one 500 and 1 150 would be fine.
[20:28:41] Arceus_: J-e-f-f-A|work, Yeah or that :)
[20:29:14] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: and it's best to get out of the 'channel surfing' mindset. Channel changes will take from 2 to 5 or more seconds... especially with IR blasters...
[20:29:43] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: So use Myth for what it's designed for — search for shows you like, then set them up to record, and you can watch them 'live' as they record, or whenever you want to.
[20:30:05] J-e-f-f-A|work: Arceus_: and if you feel the need for "LiveTV", browse the guide, then switch to that channel....

[21:19:38] RyeBrye: interesting. On mine the linux box can see it but my mac can't see it – but I think the issue might be because my mac is connected wirelessly via a wds node... the wds link should be transparent to the network but perhaps it blocks the discover somehow
[21:20:07] wagnerrp: the backend is connected through switch, not 5' from the hdhr
[21:20:19] RyeBrye: Strange.
[21:20:32] RyeBrye: does your backend have an extra NIC? :)
[21:20:45] J-e-f-f-A|work: Humm... I haven't tried to discover it from my Trunk test box [yet]... didn't want to cause a conflict with the 'live' backend...

[21:21:57] wagnerrp: back when you used to.... fondle computers?
[21:22:02] RyeBrye: if the HDHR is so close, you could try to just run it to that extra NIC (after re-enabling it) and bridging the two
[21:22:12] RyeBrye: it's obviosuly a ghetto fix to a probelm that shouldn't exist

[21:22:49] wagnerrp: both
[21:23:50] RyeBrye: Just out of an academic curiosity... you couldn't get the HDHR to stream a raw signal from an encrypted digital cable and then use software to decrypt it, right? (obviously the act of doing this would be illegal – I'm just curious if you can even get the encrypted stream)

[21:35:26] wagnerrp: yeah, same issues afterwards
[21:35:43] wagnerrp: i still have -fixes installed on my laptop
[21:35:46] J-e-f-f-A|work: wagnerrp: But if you put it back at the original, working IP, it still doesn't work?
[21:35:48] wagnerrp: im going to fire that up and see what happens

[21:37:21] J-e-f-f-A|work: wagnerrp: Well, my thinking is this — if you change it back, and it works again, than the IP affect's myth's configuration, and you probably have to delete the capture cards and re-add/re-discover them...
[21:37:32] thefRont: J-e-f-f-A_: am I missing something?

[21:39:29] thefRont: ah ok
[21:39:33] thefRont: hold on
[21:39:35] J-e-f-f-A|work: wagnerrp: Ok, so it's something isolated to your main backend...
[21:39:35] wagnerrp: so its with something to do with me booting over iscsi, or its -fixes vs. trunk
[21:39:54] wagnerrp: its isolated to multiple machines and multiple installs running diskless and trunk
[21:40:18] wagnerrp: im going to boot one of my backends back to the -fixes image, and see what happens
[21:40:58] J-e-f-f-A|work: wagnerrp: Oh, trunk? I thought I heard somebody else already chime in that they couldn't see their HDHR in trunk... [maybe I'm just losing it!]

[22:03:24] J-e-f-f-A|work: thefRont: What did you get, like 5 frames per second?
[22:03:27] thefRont: except I find a way that the backend will record and stream live-tv
[22:04:06] thefRont: it looks like live-tv is streamed to the frontend, then the frontend records this stream and plays it
[22:04:43] thefRont: and yes, I get about 0.5fps at the moment
[22:05:04] thefRont: might be because I'm using a bigger resolution right now than recommended
[22:05:10] iamlindoro____: no, livetv and all other things are recorded on the backend
[22:05:25] iamlindoro____: frontend does no recording whatsoever
[22:05:31] thefRont: then I'm wondering why my virtual disc is full
[22:05:57] iamlindoro____: no idea, but the frontend doesn't record *anything*

[22:48:20] kslater: so I had a drive crash in my main system. I'm back up and running on a new hard disk after copying things across but I just found out that mythtv user doesn't have access to the sound card. (I didn't copy /dev – doh) How are those permissions set? Is there an alsa script that I could re-run maybe?
[22:49:38] justinh: checked that the device nodes are owned by the 'audio' group and that your user is a member?
[22:50:08] kslater: device nodes as in say /dev/dsp?
[22:50:14] wagnerrp: usually one does not copy /dev, or change permissions in /dev for that matter
[22:50:21] wagnerrp: all of that stuff should be handled by udev rules
[22:50:25] kslater: right, which is why I skipped it
[22:50:28] iamlindoro____: copying dev would be an excercise in uselessness
[22:50:38] kslater: udev rules
[22:50:39] iamlindoro____: exercise that is
[22:50:41] kslater: hmm
[22:50:47] jduggan: udev doesnt rule
[22:50:50] jduggan: it drools
[22:50:53] kslater: hehe
[22:51:01] wagnerrp: no, you drool!
[22:51:50] Dagmar: Simply put: If you have no /dev/audio/* make sure the drivers for your sound card are actually loading. That directory is populated by udev when/if a driver purporting to belong to a sound card manages to initialize properly.
[22:52:18] kslater: if I run say vlc as root, I get sound just fine
[22:52:24] Dagmar: If your distribution is still utilizing a static udev, you suck.
[22:52:29] kslater: as mythtv, no access to sound
[22:52:39] kslater: this is a FC 8 machine
[22:52:55] Dagmar: So add your mythtv user account to the group that has permissions to write to the sound card.
[22:53:10] Dagmar: ...which is *probably* called 'audio' or 'sound'.
[22:53:21] Dagmar: Otherwise, it's a FC 8 problme.
[22:54:22] iamlindoro____: kslater: What is it that leads you to believe your myth user can't access the sound devices?
[22:54:22] Dagmar: Doing an `ls -g /dev/audio` should show you what group owns /dev/audio
[22:54:42] ** iamlindoro____ thinks it's as simple as "mixer/sound device set wrong in frontend" **
[22:54:57] Dagmar: If you are attempting to tell MythTV to use /dev/*ANYTHING* for sound, you are not using ALSA and are likely doing it wrong.
[22:55:14] kslater: I see a message to that effect when I run the frontend from an xterm
[22:55:21] Dagmar: The wiki shows what strings should actually be put in there to route the sound through ALSA and not the deprecated OSS drivers.
[22:55:27] iamlindoro____: to *what* effect?
[22:55:32] kslater: frontend has it set to ALSA:default
[22:55:42] Dagmar: That would be the right thing to have it set to most of the time
[22:55:44] kslater: ALSA : default

[22:59:13] kslater: root can use sound via vlc
[22:59:21] kslater: mythtv user no sound via vlc
[22:59:42] kslater: I would guess that if I ran the FE as root, it would get the sound card just fine
[22:59:47] iamlindoro____: possible you just need to set up the alsa default device again for that user then
[23:00:01] kslater: that's what I'm thinking
[23:00:01] iamlindoro____: There's a simple terminal command for it, but no time to google it right now
