[01:30] <larry123> Hi.  I've been working to install mythbuntu 8.1 on a new system (gigabyte MA78G with happauge 1600).  I've got the video working at HD into a nvidia 9500GT.  The audio works in ubuntu but not in myth front end through the headphones, but not the HDMI connection.  I suspect it's something silly that doesn't have a checkmark, but I can't find it.  Any suggestions for directions?
[01:31] <hads> I hear HDMI is a PITA to get going
[01:32] <larry123> I needed to get the video card because it wouldn't refresh fast enough without the graphics accelerator.
[01:33] <larry123> I can get the audio to work in ubuntu straight to HDMI and come out the TV just fine.
[01:33] <larry123> but not in mythbuntu....
[03:13] <woski> im trying to get this remote working and irw doesnt echo anything
[04:19] <thedarkone> does anyone have shoutcast working on mythstream?
[04:20] <thedarkone> all i get is no stream
[04:29] <foxbuntu> thedarkone, I think its been busted for sometime...I could be wrong though
[04:46] <thedarkone> so no good

[14:23] <Bonez56> Hi, I have done a vanilla install of Ubuntu, installed all updates and rebooted. I am now trying to install the 'mythtv' meta package but am getting the following error (sorry about the copy and paste in the chan):
[14:23] <Bonez56> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[14:23] <Bonez56>   mythtv: Depends: mythtv-frontend (= 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
[14:23] <Bonez56>           Depends: mythtv-backend (= 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
[14:23] <Bonez56> E: Broken packages
[14:24] <Bonez56> can anyone pleeeeeeeeeeeease help me? I am really stuck and I've tried two fresh installs of Ubuntu tonight alone and get the same results
[14:25] <tgm4883> Bonez56, it would probably help if you said what version of Ubuntu you were using
[14:26] <Bonez56> Jaunty Alpha 6 (i know, i know, you don't have to give me the lecture about running alpha software) however the guys in #ubuntu+1 are not having any issues installing myth and I can't seem to find any bugs on launchpad
[14:27] <tgm4883> did you do an apt-get update?
[14:27] <Bonez56> yep, my system is fully up to date
[14:27] <Bonez56> would it be easier if I just downloaded the tarball from the myth site and compiled from source? I'm a linux/unix sysadmin in my profession so i'm not a complete noob... i really just miss my tv!
[14:28] <Bonez56> i'm thinking it could just be a bug in the ubuntu alpha phase right now
[14:28] <superm1> Bonez56, theres a few opened bugs about it. i've got a fix ready for jaunty, but i need to ensure that intrepid and hardy dont break from it
[14:29] <superm1> Bonez56, i'd reinstall back to a6, and not do updates until it's fixed
[14:29] <Bonez56> superm1, hmm ok, very interesting. Are you able to point me to some links on launchpad? pehaps I could subscribe to them and then try to get some patience so it does not drive me insane :)
[14:29] <superm1> Bonez56, if you get the bzr branch, you can rebuild the package yourself if you wanted
[14:30] <superm1> bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes
[14:30] <superm1> hopefully should get to fixing it today or tomorrow or so
[14:30] <superm1> er pushing today or tomorrow that is
[14:41] <Bonez56> i'd rather just wait for a fix to come through the repos than have to reinstall
[14:41] <Bonez56> i've reinstalled 3 times in the last 3 days so i'm a bit over it :)
[14:44] <superm1> just dont do updates until it's fixed and you'll be fine
[14:48] <Bonez56> ok cool
[14:48] <Bonez56> thanks

[20:17] <Philip_> anyone here who is motivated to help me? (mythbuntu & hvr-1300)
[20:18] <Philip_> i just want to know what i have to select for capture devices (default won't work)
[20:18] <Philip_> when i click "watch tv" i don't get anything
[20:21] <Philip_> info: i've chosen analog v4l, tried /dev/video1 and video0 with all variations on default input
[20:22] <Philip_> the field probed info shows the correct hardware
=== larry123_ is now known as larry123

[20:31] <Philip_> what have u seleted as capture device?
[20:32] <Philip_> v4l with video0 or video1?
[20:32] <_gunni_> v4l is only for analog
[20:32] <Philip_> ahh ok, and what is for dvb?
[20:38] <superm1> rhpot1991, PerilousApricot yeah fridays
[20:53] <_gunni_> I have a problem updating to jaunty. On my Laptop, everything worked, on my desktop 2 days later there is a problem , mythfrontend-ubuntu6 depends on mythtv-common-ubuntu6, but only -ubuntu4 is available. Sadly on my laptop i deleted the apt cache, and i dont find the older mythtv-frontend somewhere (both 64bit, i only find the packages for i386)

[22:37] <wajimba> hello?
[22:38] <wajimba> anyone alive out there?
[22:38] <wajimba> I'm having issues setting up mythbuntu
[22:39] <wajimba> I have a backend/frontend setup working, but I want to add an under the stairs slave backend
[22:40] <wajimba> the issue I'm having is that during install for the slave, it won't grab on to the mysql info
[22:41] <wajimba> I'm new to mythtv so it's very possible that I'm doing it wrong
[22:41] <wajimba> ideas anyone?
[22:42] <wajimba> hi
[22:42] <darthfrog> Good day folks.
[22:43] <wajimba> Are you a regular around here?
[22:43] <wajimba> I have a question
[22:43] <darthfrog> When I try to make a DVD using Mythbuntu, it fails with an ffmeg error: ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-s352x480'
[22:43] <darthfrog> Any one have any suggestions about how I correct that?
[22:45] <tirez> is it possible to get r5000 to work with mythtv on macosx?
[22:45] <darthfrog> Mythtv works on Mac?
[22:46] <darthfrog> I did not know that. :-)
[22:46] <tirez> apparantly
[22:46] <wajimba> I'm having mysql issues
[22:54] <wajimba> actually, I think it's just issues setting a static IP on my master box
=== larry123_ is now known as larry123
[23:01] <wajimba> does mythbuntu come with the Gnome network manager?
[23:06] <rick__> Problems with Static IP - Network Manger not as robust as ubuntu Network Manager. Could not get the OK button to lightup to set static IP?
[23:09] <rick__> Set static Ip from command line. Network is up. Very Slow Boot. NTP Server Fails. RPC Server Fails. NFS Server Fails. Apache2 Server Fails. Don't know what to do?
[23:10] <rick__> Great HDTV reception and Remote works, but hangs periodically. Don' t know what to do?
