| 00:53 | tdb30_> | any ideas why I'm not getting audio? I have a pvr 350. |
| 00:54 | paulproteus|lapt> | Would anyone like to recommend a USB keyboard to buy (wireless or wired), and/or a USB remote control (wireless)? The cheaper the better, obviously, but I'll be happy steering clear of really cheap junk. |
| 00:55 | tdb30_> | I use a cheapo wireless logitech |
| 00:55 | tdb30_> | mouse/keyboard combo |
| 00:55 | tdb30_> | well they are seperate devices but they use the same controler dongle. and were boxed together. |
| 00:56 | tdb30_> | I made my own serial remote control so I can't help you on the usb remote control |
| 01:03 | paulproteus|lapt> | Heh. :) |
| 01:03 | paulproteus|lapt> | Is the remote control you made infrared? |
| 01:03 | tdb30_> | yup |
| 01:04 | tdb30_> | Acutaly I just made the reciever. I'm using a universal remote with it. |
| 01:04 | tdb30_> | I put the tivo codes into the remote. |

| 11:12 | * | meth makes sure its a ir blaster |
| 11:13 | meth> | hm packard bell |
| 11:13 | nbro> | was it very hard to setup ? I've got a "JetEye" IR device which supposedly works in linux with lirc however i have no idea where to start |
| 11:14 | meth> | plugin the receiver |
| 11:14 | nbro> | this is the last thing i need to get working for my mythtv |
| 11:14 | meth> | do you know if the remote works? |
| 11:14 | meth> | have you tested it yet in linux |
| 11:14 | nbro> | the blaster is plugged into the serial port now i have no clue where what to do next |
| 11:14 | meth> | ok |
| 11:14 | meth> | let me remember the command |
| 11:14 | nbro> | this isn't for a remote, my remote works, this is for changing channels on my difgitial cable box |
| 11:15 | meth> | digital cable box? |
| 11:15 | nbro> | do i need to do something to enable the serial port ? |
| 11:15 | nbro> | yup, my mythtv box has to be able to cahnge the channels on my cable box via an IR transmitter |
| 11:16 | meth> | type: irw |
| 11:16 | meth> | then use the remote |
| 11:16 | meth> | see if it reads |
| 11:16 | nbro> | the remote works, using a PVR-250 remote |
| 11:16 | meth> | oh ok |
| 11:16 | nbro> | have already done all that |
| 11:17 | meth> | so as the user you run irexec add edit ~/.lircrc |
| 11:17 | nbro> | my problem is getting the IR Transmitter so that the PC can change channels on my cable box |
| 11:17 | meth> | oh |
| 11:17 | meth> | i get it |
| 11:17 | meth> | you have digital cable box to receive |
| 11:17 | meth> | pumping video to your mythtv pc |
| 11:18 | nbro> | exactly |
| 11:19 | meth> | ya i dunno how to do that hehe |
| 11:20 | meth> | you want the remote for your pc to change station on a digital receiver |
| 11:20 | nbro> | nope, the PC has to be able to change channels on the digital box so that it can record shows on various channels |
| 11:21 | meth> | ya ive not gotten there yet |
| 11:21 | tdb30_> | what kind of ir transmiter are you using? |
| 11:21 | meth> | were working on satellite right now |
| 11:21 | tdb30_> | I'm using a homebrew to change channels on my digital box. |
| 11:21 | nbro> | it is called a JetEye |
| 11:21 | nbro> | it is IrDA 1.1 compatible so it should work with lirc |
| 11:22 | nbro> | i have no clue where to start thoughj on getting this working... i think the first thing is to check if my serial port is enabled |
| 11:23 | tdb30_> | lirc also needs you to run a program called setserial to turn of the uart or something. Or that you not have certian serial drivers loaded. |
| 11:23 | nbro> | turn off uart ? |
| 11:24 | tdb30_> | yeah. I use the command setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none |
| 11:24 | tdb30_> | because my transmiter is on the serial port |
| 11:24 | tdb30_> | not sure about the irda stuff though. |
| 11:24 | nbro> | what is uart/what does it do ? (i should probably alrerady know this) |
| 11:24 | tdb30_> | maybe you don't have to do that. |
| 11:25 | nbro> | i've never worked with serial ports before but i am assuming they arent plug and play like most other ports |
| 11:25 | tdb30_> | I forget what it stants for (universal asyncronis transmiter/reciever or something). Its a piece of hardware on serial boards. Its basicly a buffer I think |
| 11:26 | tdb30_> | man my spelling stinks this early in the morining. |
| 11:28 | nbro> | ohoh ... ever since i installed my wireless mouse/keyboard this morning the PVR-250 remote no longer works.... |
| 11:28 | nbro> | or i should say lirc no longer works |

| 11:42 | meth> | or /etc/modules.d/... |
| 11:42 | meth> | depends on the system |
| 11:43 | meth> | /etc/modules.d/aliases for me |
| 11:43 | mythtv> | using redhat 9 |
| 11:43 | meth> | look in modules.d |
| 11:44 | mythtv> | what about moduules.conf ? |
| 11:44 | meth> | ya |
| 11:45 | mythtv> | so how would i add /sbin/modprobe ivtv |
| 11:45 | mythtv> | just put that line at the bottom ? |
| 11:46 | mythtv> | maybe i'll just create a shell script with all the commands |
| 11:46 | meth> | alias char-major-61 lirc_serial |
| 11:46 | meth> | thats what i do |
| 11:46 | mythtv> | yeah, i got that already.. this is for my PVR-250 |
| 11:47 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: see http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=rh9pvr250#capture |
| 11:47 | mythtv> | is that jared's guiode ? |
| 11:47 | pahli_bar> | yup |
| 11:48 | mythtv> | i did all that, but i still need to run the PVR-250 commands and an lirc command or two after booting |
| 11:48 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: there should be something similar to update-modules (from debian) in redhat. |
| 11:50 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: did u put it in ur /etc/modules.conf |
| 11:50 | mythtv> | yup |
| 11:50 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: and it doesn't load it up at boot time? |
| 11:50 | mythtv> | nope |
| 11:51 | pahli_bar> | thats funny. does your kernel do autoloading modules? |
| 11:51 | meth> | you can alweays make a script and load it in local.start |
| 11:52 | mythtv> | i'm assuming it does.... using the kernel sugested in Jared guide |
| 11:52 | mythtv> | followed the steps to a T |
| 11:53 | pahli_bar> | how it works is the first time anyprogram needs to access ivtv, kernel will automatically load the modules by looking at /etc/modules.conf |
| 11:53 | mythtv> | so if i do a cat video > file.mpg drivers should already be loaded correct ? |
| 11:54 | mythtv> | that is how i have been testing |
| 11:54 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: yes |
| 11:54 | mythtv> | ok, cause i definetly need to re-run the ivtv loading commands before doing that |
| 11:54 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: show ur /etc/modules.conf |

| 12:00 | pahli_bar> | yes |
| 12:01 | pahli_bar> | can you unload the ivtv module now and do cat /dev/video0 > file.mpeg and see if it loads the module |
| 12:01 | mythtv> | how do i unload the modules |
| 12:01 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: rmmod or modprobe -r |
| 12:02 | mythtv> | i'm 99.9% certain i'' just get static |
| 12:02 | mythtv> | modprobe -r ivtv right ? |
| 12:02 | pahli_bar> | yes |
| 12:02 | pahli_bar> | do lsmod after catting and see if module is loaded |
| 12:03 | mythtv> | static |
| 12:03 | pahli_bar> | lsmod? |
| 12:03 | mythtv> | ivtv 85340 0 (autoclean) |
| 12:03 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: there it got loaded. see!! |
| 12:03 | mythtv> | is that what i should be looking for ? |
| 12:04 | mythtv> | hmmm... so one of the commands in the Jared guide must be fixing the static or somewthing |
| 12:04 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: you might need to change the input for ivtv. is it cable connection? |
| 12:04 | mythtv> | one of the test_iotcl commands |
| 12:05 | mythtv> | nope, s-video |
| 12:05 | mythtv> | aha |
| 12:05 | mythtv> | got it |
| 12:05 | mythtv> | -p 6 |
| 12:05 | pahli_bar> | thats it. just add the line for that in ur modules.conf |
| 12:06 | pahli_bar> | post-install ivtv /usr/lib/ivtv/test_ioctl -p 4 |
| 12:06 | mythtv> | hmmm.... so i wonder why the remote stopped working |
| 12:06 | pahli_bar> | s/4/6 |
| 12:06 | pahli_bar> | is lirc running? |
| 12:07 | mythtv> | sec, i'm going to try again just to make sure |
| 12:08 | pahli_bar> | check lsmod to see if lirc_i2c is loaded or not. thats what should control the 250 remote receiver |
| 12:08 | mythtv> | works |
| 12:08 | mythtv> | for some reason, |
| 12:08 | mythtv> | if video input is not set to -6 (s-video) remote doesnt work either |
| 12:09 | pahli_bar> | remote will change channels (frequencies) equivalent to the input |
| 12:13 | mythtv> | ah, cool... thanks for your help by the way. |

| 12:25 | mythtv> | so gotta reboot then ? |
| 12:25 | pahli_bar> | hmmm. maybe not |
| 12:25 | mythtv> | can lirc and lirc_serial run at same time wihout conflict ? |
| 12:26 | pahli_bar> | usually serial port 1 is 0x3f8 irq 4 and port 2 is 0x2f8 irq 3 |
| 12:27 | mythtv> | ok, so should i check these values in some lirc_serial config file and try changing them ? |
| 12:28 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: again it will be in /etc/modules.conf: options lirc_serial io=0x3f8 irq=4 for example |
| 12:30 | mythtv> | so if there is nothing like that in there i should be adding it correct ? |
| 12:31 | pahli_bar> | mythtv: yes |

| 12:34 | pahli_bar> | first check if you can load lirc_serial module first |
| 12:34 | mythtv> | added the line and checked, same error |

| 13:05 | Octane> | use lirc_serial instead of lirc_Sir |
| 13:05 | nbro> | my main concern is being able to get the ir blaster i have working |
| 13:05 | Octane> | is your ir blaster known to work with lirc? |
| 13:05 | nbro> | it is IrDA 1.1 so it should be supported by lirc |
| 13:06 | Octane> | alright |
| 13:06 | Octane> | you first need to decide if you want to just use your hauppauge remote or use both the blaster adn the remote |
| 13:06 | Octane> | if you want the former: its easy, rebuild lirc with irda support and load up lirc_serial, if you want the ladder read that howto and createa second lirc instance |
| 13:06 | nbro> | i will need to use both, since the PC needs to be able to change channels to record stuff on it's own |
| 13:07 | Octane> | it can just have an ir blaster to do that |
| 13:07 | Octane> | you dont need the grey remote to do that |
| 13:07 | nbro> | right but when i want to watch live tv i need to use the grey remote for changing channels on my own and stuff |
| 13:08 | Octane> | (youd ont have to , you can use a keyboard but anyway) |
| 13:08 | Octane> | okay so you want two instances |
| 13:08 | nbro> | yup |
| 13:08 | Octane> | follow the first part of robert's guide |
| 13:08 | Octane> | and create a second lirc instance named remote |
| 13:08 | nbro> | ok, thanks, i'll do that now |
| 13:08 | Octane> | it will sit on a different char major |
| 13:08 | Octane> | after you do that |
| 13:08 | Octane> | you want to load up lirc_serial |
| 13:08 | Octane> | not lirc_sir like he suggests |
| 13:08 | nbro> | ok.. well right now the remote works so i'll create a 2nd instance called irBlaster |
| 13:09 | Octane> | furthermore, i am assuming you used apt-get for lirc, so you dont need to follow the backup step |
| 13:09 | nbro> | ok, cool |
| 13:09 | Octane> | just the rename step (renaming all remote (former lirc) bins to remote_<bin>) |
| 13:09 | Octane> | then you gotta edit your modules.conf |
| 13:09 | Octane> | and your rc.local |
| 13:09 | Octane> | make sure your settings are different |
| 13:09 | Octane> | and make sure you also /sbin/rmmod serial |
| 13:09 | nbro> | why /sbin/rmmod serial ? |
| 13:09 | Octane> | and make sure your ttyS is 0 not 1 |
| 13:10 | Octane> | because you are removing linux's builtin serial support |
| 13:10 | Octane> | and using lirc's |
| 13:10 | Octane> | you can always test via the control center (assuming your in kde) |
| 13:10 | Octane> | and go to Information -> Ioports and information -> interrupts |
| 13:10 | Octane> | and make sure your lirc_serial (which will be named remote_serial) is being loaded properly |
| 13:10 | Octane> | right now if you go there |
| 13:10 | Octane> | you will see serial loaded |
| 13:11 | Octane> | also make sure your options remote_sir irq=3 io=0x2f8 reads options remote_sir irq=4 io=0x3f8 |
| 13:11 | Octane> | and like i said setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none instead of setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none |
| 13:11 | Octane> | that indicates its COM1 not COM2 |
| 13:11 | Octane> | because robert's (the guy who wrote the guide) blaster sits on com2 |
| 13:11 | Octane> | also i think you should skip step 7, though im not sure |
| 13:11 | Octane> | since your blaster is IrDA |
| 13:11 | Octane> | i think thats it :D |
| 13:12 | nbro> | wow. |
| 13:12 | Octane> | ? |

| 13:17 | Octane> | ill probably fuck it up |
| 13:17 | Octane> | although it could be fun, maybe ill make one when this new one arrives and if it works :D |
| 13:18 | nbro> | what is "char major" |
| 13:18 | Octane> | its where modules sit |
| 13:19 | Octane> | youll notice in your modules.conf lirc has 61 |
| 13:19 | nbro> | ok... my "remote" instance of lirc will actually be running theblaster correct ? |
| 13:19 | Octane> | yes |
| 13:19 | Octane> | and itll be on 72 |

| 13:30 | Octane> | Zeran i suggest you go to #linuxhelp |
| 13:30 | Octane> | that is not mythtv related |
| 13:30 | Octane> | or #linux or #fedora or #redhat, whatever |

| 13:33 | Smokie> | for first, yes ... later (when my child is born) timeshift may be an option ... |
| 13:34 | Octane> | you can turn off recording all together |
| 13:34 | Octane> | i ams ure of it |

| 13:37 | Smokie> | can i turn it off, or do i need to recompile .... |
| 13:37 | Octane> | i am sure you can turn it off |
| 13:37 | Smokie> | but you don\xB4t know how ..:-() |
| 13:39 | Octane> | no sorry |
| 13:39 | Octane> | i know you can set the framebuffer to 1gb |
| 13:39 | Octane> | i think thats the minimum |
| 13:40 | Smokie> | ohh, the framebuffer is not the timeshift buffer. Framebuffer replaces X. |

| 14:30 | ofer> | there are no errors |

| 15:32 | Crib> | i get the first few lines of a news story and that is it |
| 15:32 | sfr> | and is supported/maintained afaik |
| 15:32 | Crib> | mythweb doesn't seem to work for me |
| 15:32 | mikegrb> | Crib: that is all you are supposed to get |
| 15:33 | D-side> | anyone actually try mythbrowser yet? no gentoo port yet so i'm holding off. |
| 15:33 | Crib> | mikegrb-just checking |
| 15:33 | mikegrb> | D-side: I concidered it but it had to many dependancies ;) |
| 15:33 | D-side> | heh |
| 15:33 | Crib> | i'm trying mythbrowser. btw i use gentoo but built everything from source |
| 15:33 | Crib> | because documentation is so much better |
| 15:33 | D-side> | i dont understand that statement. |
| 15:34 | Crib> | mythbrowser does not seem to work for me |
| 15:34 | D-side> | nor do i particularly wish to. afk. |
| 15:34 | Crib> | ok, in the mythbrowser setup there is a "browser:" setting |
| 15:34 | Crib> | it is pointed to /usr/local/bin/mythbrowser |
| 15:35 | Crib> | can i point it at mozilla? |
| 15:36 | Crib> | well here is the problem...there is no mythbrowser in /usr/local/bin |
| 15:36 | Crib> | weird...i did the ./configure, make, make install thing |
| 15:36 | sfr> | maybe it's libmythbrowser.so? |
| 15:36 | Crib> | i slocated it and it's not anywhere excet in the install directory |
| 15:37 | Crib> | is a .so a type of executable? |
| 15:37 | sfr> | no, a shared library afaik. look in /usr/local/lib/myth/plugins |
| 15:37 | Crib> | so i should point the thing at libmythbrowser.so? |
| 15:37 | Crib> | that seems non-intuitive |
| 15:38 | sfr> | i don't think so. but i don't use mythbrowser. |
| 15:40 | Crib> | i'm not going to mess with it. i'm having company from out of town tonight and i want to entertain. the last thing i need to do is fuck up everything |
| 15:40 | mikegrb> | there should be two things as far as I know |
| 15:40 | mikegrb> | the .so shared library |
| 15:41 | mikegrb> | which is the plugin and provides some sort of bookmark manager |
| 15:41 | mikegrb> | then this calles the actual mythbrowser executable with the url as a command line argument |
| 15:41 | mikegrb> | at least last I knew that is how it worked |
| 15:41 | mikegrb> | but I don't use it either |
| 15:42 | Crib> | mikegrb-so as far as you know, i can't specify for it to use mozilla? |
| 15:42 | mikegrb> | well I guess you could |
| 15:42 | mikegrb> | then the plugin would start it up |
| 15:42 | mikegrb> | but like I said I have no idea how it currently works |
| 15:43 | mikegrb> | initially just the browser was written |
| 15:43 | mikegrb> | then the plugin came later |
| 15:43 | Crib> | seems weird they wrote their own freakin browser |
| 15:43 | mikegrb> | not really |
| 15:43 | mikegrb> | it is just the khtml interpreter thingie |
| 15:43 | Crib> | mozilla has been around 4 years |
| 15:43 | mikegrb> | which is essentially the same parser as mozilla |
| 15:44 | Crib> | getting better and better, why not use it |
| 15:44 | mikegrb> | it uses mozilla code |
| 15:44 | Crib> | oh, well that makes sense |
| 15:44 | sfr> | Crib: it's the gui, stupid :) |
| 15:44 | mikegrb> | but you have to have the kde development stuff installed |
| 15:44 | Crib> | me=stupid = true |
| 15:44 | mikegrb> | I don't have kde on my frontend |
| 15:44 | Crib> | my kde is nice right now |
| 15:44 | sfr> | Crib: no. remember Churchill? |
| 15:44 | Crib> | i hooked it up last night |
| 15:45 | Crib> | the fat limey? |
| 15:45 | Crib> | yep. |
| 15:45 | mikegrb> | I use blackbox, it is a little xbox so it couldn't handle kde or gnome |
| 15:45 | mikegrb> | only around 60 mb available |
| 15:45 | mikegrb> | + of ram |
| 15:45 | Crib> | mikegrb if you're running this on an xbox you're a freakin pimp |
| 15:45 | Crib> | how do you capture tv? xbox = no pci slots right? |
| 15:47 | D-side> | you dont |
| 15:47 | D-side> | thats why its a frontend. |
| 15:47 | Crib> | oh sry i missed that part |
| 15:47 | mikegrb> | yup |
| 15:47 | Crib> | still that's pretty phat |
| 15:47 | mikegrb> | but dvd remote works |
| 15:47 | Crib> | NICE |
| 15:47 | D-side> | mikegrb: thtas new, isnt it/ |
| 15:47 | mikegrb> | though I hear the usb pvr drivers are getting there |
| 15:48 | mikegrb> | D-side: for a while |
| 15:48 | mikegrb> | mythtv even sets the color of the led on the front of the xbox to tell you if the backend is recording |
| 15:48 | Crib> | is there any way to disable my kde screen saver when mythfrontend starts? |
| 15:48 | Crib> | DAMN that is so tight |
| 15:48 | Crib> | how hard was it to get linux on the xbox? |
| 15:48 | mikegrb> | not too difficult |
| 15:49 | D-side> | mikegrb: i hadnt heard there was ANY support for the usb pvr. |
| 15:49 | mikegrb> | see xbox-linux.org and #xbox-linux on irc.oftc.net |
| 15:49 | mikegrb> | D-side: I don't really know what the state of it is /supposedly/ it works |
| 15:49 | Crib> | i'm guessing there is no dual boot right...i mean you can't still play xbox games right? |
| 15:49 | mikegrb> | there is a project on sf for it |
| 15:49 | mikegrb> | people come in #xbox-linux all the time talking about it |
| 15:50 | mikegrb> | say it works but I don't have first hand experience |
| 15:50 | Crib> | that is so dope. since microsoft loses money on every xbox you're really dicking redmond like 2 ways at once |
| 15:50 | Crib> | and if you're sharing tv files you record you're dicking the studios |
| 15:51 | Crib> | so you're dicking 3 ways at once |
| 15:51 | Crib> | that rules |
| 15:51 | Crib> | oh wait, you're skipping commercials too. |
| 15:51 | Crib> | even better |
| 15:51 | Crib> | that is some straight pimp shit |
| 15:51 | mikegrb> | heh |
| 15:51 | mikegrb> | do you have an xbox? |
| 15:51 | Crib> | yes i have an abnormal sense of right and wrong |
| 15:51 | Crib> | no, not yet |
| 15:52 | mikegrb> | ahh |
| 15:52 | Crib> | given my skills i'd probably just break it |
| 15:52 | mikegrb> | heh no quite easy |
| 15:52 | mikegrb> | you should checkout the website and drop by the irc channel |
| 15:52 | Crib> | well right now my financial investment in mythtv is about 15$ |
| 15:52 | Crib> | i'm using a wintv software card |
| 15:52 | Crib> | and a computer i 'checked out' from work |
| 15:53 | Crib> | and right now i'm broke as hell |
| 15:53 | Crib> | so i won't be doing that in the near future. |
| 15:53 | Crib> | something to think about though, esp if i can dual boot it. |
| 15:53 | Crib> | my friend has a mod chip that lets him record games on his xbox |
| 15:53 | Crib> | even more dicking |
| 15:54 | Crib> | i like the feeling i get when i'm getting over on corporations that are out to dick me over |
| 15:55 | Crib> | every time you build mythtv on a mod-chipped, dual boot x-box, an angel gets his wings |

| 23:10 | tmk> | did you select 'use pvr350 tv-out' in the options? |
| 23:11 | tdb30_> | humm. not sure ;) |
| 23:11 | tmk> | if you don't then it'll be really crappy |
| 23:11 | tmk> | like 2 fps |
| 23:11 | mikegrb> | heh |
| 23:12 | tdb30_> | where would I find it? |
| 23:13 | tmk> | mythfrontend->settings->tv->playback->next->next |
| 23:13 | mikegrb> | in mythtv settings -> tv |
| 23:13 | mikegrb> | yeah there |
| 23:13 | mikegrb> | :) |
| 23:14 | tdb30_> | found it |
| 23:14 | tmk> | that'll make a world of difference |
| 23:14 | tdb30_> | it did |

| 23:17 | tdb30_> | arrg.. no audio |

| 23:22 | tmk> | make sure the source file has audio |
| 23:22 | tmk> | and check your wiring |
| 23:22 | tmk> | the audio comes out of the pvr350 itself |
| 23:28 | tdb30_> | right. |
| 23:36 | tdb30_> | okay. what about for playback? |
| 23:36 | tdb30_> | does it use dsp or th pvr? |
| 23:37 | Chutt> | the card, of course. |
| 23:37 | Chutt> | the whole 'hardware decoder' thing? |
| 23:37 | tdb30_> | I mean playback from recorded programs. |
| 23:37 | Chutt> | the fact that the pvr-350 has audio output plugs? |
| 23:37 | tdb30_> | is it the same thing? |
| 23:37 | Chutt> | why would it be different? |
| 23:38 | tdb30_> | I thought the audio out plugs only worked when you were using the tuner. |
| 23:38 | Chutt> | that makes absolutely no sense |
| 23:38 | Chutt> | why would input affect the output? |
| 23:38 | tdb30_> | just something I heard. |
| 23:38 | Chutt> | from where? |
| 23:39 | tdb30_> | basicly that the audio was tied to the tuner on the pvr 350 |
| 23:39 | Chutt> | where did you hear that? |
| 23:39 | tdb30_> | I thought I heard it on the ivtv-dev channel |
| 23:39 | tdb30_> | but I'll take your word for it |
| 23:39 | Chutt> | whoever said that is a moron |
| 23:40 | tdb30_> | irc is just an extension of the internet. Even the stupid have a voice and its just as loud as people that know what they are talking about... anyway. choppyness is gone. Thanks. |
| 23:41 | tdb30_> | arrg the stream just quit. |
| 23:42 | tdb30_> | rather. The computer locked up... |
| 23:43 | tdb30_> | I think thats an ivtv thing. I hear they have issues with changing channels and stuff. |

| 23:57 | mizery> | woot, this opens a whole new way of troubleshooting. I'm having trouble running mythtv. http://mizery.nullvoid.org for screenshot. Specifically I am having trouble connecting to the mysql database. Not sure why. Take a look at the screenshot for details |
