| Tracy_Home | anyone gotten a kworld plustv dvb (atsc 115) card to work? | 01:32 |
| Tracy_Home | I followed what it said to do in mythtv and its being detected but I'm having issues configuring it | 01:39 |

| Tracy_Home | hey I'm getting this when I try to set up my kworld atsc 115 card in the input connections, could not open '0' to probe its input | 02:32 |
| Tracy_Home | how can I fix that? | 02:32 |
| hitman936 | hi can any one tell me can i load mythbuntu to a flash drive and boot from it | 02:34 |
| foxbuntu | hitman936, the filesystem for flashdrives is not included | 02:35 |
| Tracy_Home | hitman why don't you just use the mythbuntu live cd? | 02:36 |
| hitman936 | i have install it to my harddrive all ready i just wanted to know that all if i could install it on the flash drive thanks | 02:38 |
| hitman936 | having a problem with the share folders on the 32bit the other pc do not see the share folder but if i install the 64bit the pc see the share folders but the sound plays up | 02:43 |
| williammanda | hey guys | 02:49 |
| williammanda | can I rip a recorded dvd in mythtv (libdvdcss2 is installed)? | 02:50 |
| Tracy_Home | Does anyone know how to fix this error in the input connections? (Could not open '0' tp [rpbe ots om[its.) | 02:56 |
| Tracy_Home | sorry meant (Could not open '0' to probe its inputs.) | 02:56 |
| Sphagnum | williammanda, probably, but I don't know how offhand | 03:06 |
| === Sphagnum is now known as Tari | ||
| Tari | Tracy_Home, where do you get this error? | 03:06 |
| Tracy_Home | in the inputs setup screen | 03:11 |
| Tari | what card do you have? | 03:12 |
| Tracy_Home | my card is being detected by I'm not sure I'm setting it up right | 03:12 |
| Tracy_Home | I've got a Kworld ATSC 115 | 03:12 |
| Tracy_Home | I followed the wiki to allow it to show up | 03:12 |
| Tracy_Home | and its being detected but I couldn't find anything on setting it up | 03:12 |
| Tari | so it's detected and has a device, but mythtv-setup chokes on it? | 03:15 |
| Tracy_Home | well I don't know, not sure I'm setting the settings right | 03:16 |
| Tracy_Home | I've never set one up before | 03:16 |
| Tracy_Home | I don't mind doing the reading if there's a how to that can explain the settings screen for the backend | 03:16 |
| Tracy_Home | I've got a feeling that I'm missing a small but vital bit of info on how to configure the settings | 03:18 |
| Tari | I don't really know | 03:19 |
| Tari | I've only ever set up an IVTV card, and that was a snap | 03:20 |
| Tari | does 'ls /dev | grep video' return anything? | 03:20 |
| Tracy_Home | it returns video0 | 03:22 |
| Tari | so yes, everything's fine kernel-wise | 03:25 |
| Tari | I don't know what to tell you | 03:26 |
| Tari | 'good luck figuring it out'? | 03:26 |
| Tari | since I don't know | 03:26 |
| Tracy_Home | *lol* thats ok, do you know of any how to's on doing the settings for the backend and configuring the tv card? | 03:26 |
| Tari | this might help: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythtv-setup | 03:27 |

| levander | I've loaded the xfs kernel module, and I'm going to create a xfs formatted partition in gparted. But, gparted doesn't give me an xfs option in the filesystem choices. Anyone know how to get gparted to recognize xfs as an option? | 14:00 |

| rhpot1991 | what was the problem? | 14:36 |
| frink_ | hmm | 16:26 |
| new2linx | anyone help with mythweb stating "2005_20071127190000.mpg does not exist in the recordings directory." Yet it exists on the slave backend/frontend? | 16:29 |
| JThundley | I had that problem, my mythbackend was screwed up because /dev/video0 got moved | 16:29 |
| JThundley | I was testing out a webcam | 16:29 |
| new2linx | and yes the ip of the slave backend/frontend is set to it's own static ip address. is there a log file for mythweb that I can view to see what the error is? | 16:29 |
| rhpot1991 | check the perms on that directory | 16:30 |
| JThundley | wait, the backend/frontend are the same machine but you're using a real IP address? | 16:30 |
| JThundley | you should probably be using loopback, 127.0.0.1 | 16:30 |
| new2linx | well /dev/video0 is still there so I don't believe that's the issue. the slave be/fe is a pvr-500 on xubuntu gutsy running mythbuntu control center. the master backend/frontend is running feisty with mythtv 20.0-fixes from the repo's. | 16:31 |
| new2linx | no, the master backend has to have it's static ip for others to connect to it. | 16:31 |
| new2linx | the perms are folder is owned by mythtv:mythtv as well as all the recordings. | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I think mythweb has a different folder though | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | let me check mine | 16:32 |
| new2linx | don't think so. | 16:33 |
| new2linx | actually you were right, my /var/lib/mythtv folder which has recordings and video in it was owned by me instead of mythtv. let me try it now. | 16:33 |
| rhpot1991 | check /var/www/mythweb/ | 16:33 |
| rhpot1991 | make sure recordings points to the right spot | 16:34 |
| new2linx | mythweb only is installed on the master backend/frontend so there is no /var/www/mythtv folder on the slave backend/frontend. | 16:35 |
| rhpot1991 | ln -s /directory/where/recordings/are/ recordings | 16:36 |
| rhpot1991 | have t sudo rm -rf recordings first | 16:36 |
| rhpot1991 | to get rid of the link | 16:36 |
| new2linx | and yes, the master be/fe /var/www/mythweb/recordings does point to the correct location. I can access all my recordings that are stored on the master be/fe but not the recordings on the slave be/fe | 16:36 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not sure mythweb can handle that | 16:37 |
| new2linx | rhpot1991: there's already a symlink there, thanks though | 16:37 |
| rhpot1991 | might have to setup some sort of nfs share | 16:37 |
| new2linx | REALLY? mythweb access the database doesn't it? | 16:37 |
| rhpot1991 | and have your box with mythweb able to see the recordings | 16:37 |
| new2linx | the database should have the recordings location which is on the slave be/fe. | 16:37 |
| rhpot1991 | well it can see in the db that they are somewhere, but I don't think wwwdata has access to the folder on the other backends | 16:37 |
| rhpot1991 | let me check that on mine | 16:38 |
| new2linx | how can I view a mysql database entry for where this recording thinks it's located? | 16:38 |
| frink_ | yo | 16:38 |
| rhpot1991 | yep, same error | 16:38 |
| new2linx | REALLY? so you're saying that mythweb can't access files that are located on a slave be/fe? | 16:39 |
| rhpot1991 | that is my belief | 16:39 |
| new2linx | huh. | 16:39 |
| frink_ | even with nfsings ? | 16:40 |
| new2linx | how do you handle your slave and master recording storage? | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991 | I have a lvm on each box | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991 | so myth itself shares recordings | 16:40 |
| new2linx | so you do keep your recordings seperate on each machine then? | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991 | but things like mythvideos I have a nfs share from one box to the other | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991 | yep | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991 | solution would be to use a nfs share and have them all in the same place, but you are gonna lose storage then | 16:41 |
| new2linx | i find this hard to believe that this hasn't been discussed before. | 16:42 |
| rhpot1991 | it might be, I haven't looked into it | 16:42 |
| rhpot1991 | I don't use mythweb for actually viewing video files, I could drive home and watch it quicker than it will stream | 16:42 |
| new2linx | that's a good point. I should just be using mythfrontend for viewing. I sure hope that works! | 16:43 |
| rhpot1991 | ya that works fine | 16:44 |
| rhpot1991 | provided its set up correctly | 16:44 |
| new2linx | yeap, I just ssh'd into my box, created a tunneled x11vnc session, started mythtvfrontend and tried the recording that failed in mythweb and sure enough it works. | 16:47 |
| rhpot1991 | ya | 16:48 |
| new2linx | I'll have to check the mythtv mailing list about this issue. there's gotta a solution without losing storage space | 16:48 |
| rhpot1991 | you should check out nx | 16:48 |
| rhpot1991 | I prefer it over vnc | 16:48 |
| new2linx | thanks for the help. I tried nx but always had problems with using a passphrase for my secure ssh server | 16:48 |
| new2linx | gotta go. thanks for the help. I am actually at work right now. :-) I should actually do some work | 16:49 |
| rhpot1991 | heh, no problem | 16:49 |
| * rhpot1991 may also currently be at work | 16:49 | |
| new2linx | rhpot1991: I am back, nx is just vnc tunneled through a secure ssh channel. isnt' it? | 17:06 |
| frink_ | I thought it was more like a compressed X protocol through SSH. | 17:09 |
| frink_ | ala DXPC | 17:10 |
| frink_ | not just remote frame buffer | 17:10 |
| frink_ | DXPC was cool, I ran it over 9k6 IP links back in like '95-6 | 17:10 |
| datphysh | greetings | 19:36 |
| datphysh | hello. Anyone hear feel like throwing me some input on a proposed setup? | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991 | sure | 19:45 |
| datphysh | I'm trying to build a box that'll be capable of Off air (ATSC) HD timeshifting, as well as possibly having an HD-DVD or BuRay drive in it for playing on my plasma tv. | 19:46 |
| datphysh | My current plan has been: | 19:46 |
| datphysh | AMD x2 6400+ on an Asus M2N32-SLI board with 2 gigs of ram, an Nvidea geforce 7600 GS video card, everything running on Sata drives, and a pcHDTV (think that's the name) capture card | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991 | unfortunately I don't do HD currently | 19:48 |
| directhex | you'd be better off with intel | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991 | so I can't really give much input as far as that goes | 19:48 |
| directhex | but i suspect that spec is high enough for US (mpeg2) HD | 19:49 |
| datphysh | from the benchmarks I was reading, the research I was doing, Intel did have better performing chips that the AMD I've got, but they are also $600 (us dollars) in cost | 19:49 |
| datphysh | better performing "than" rather | 19:50 |
| datphysh | but otherwise, in rendering and encoding, this was the top of the AMD line, so I was hoping it'd be good enough | 19:50 |
| datphysh | but what about the Nvidia card? I thought I read that the 8K series wasn't supporting Xv? so will a 7600 Gs give me the performance I need for mpeg2? | 19:52 |
| directhex | under linux *any* nvidia card will behave the same. well, anything newer than geforce4 | 19:54 |
| directhex | gf8, gf7, whatever | 19:54 |
| datphysh | ok, well thank you for your input | 19:57 |
| tgm4883 | directhex, unless i'm missing something obvious, datphysh's specs are more than adaquate | 20:13 |
| directhex | tgm4883, hd h264 is a real bitch on any spec | 20:14 |
| directhex | tgm4883, as a pure floating-point process, i'd usually go for the cpu with twice the performance in that field | 20:14 |
| tgm4883 | yep, i missed that part | 20:14 |
| tgm4883 | your talking about his requirement for HD-dvd or bluray? | 20:15 |
| directhex | both are a bit nebulous, and less demanding than broadcast | 20:19 |
| spence | yes, check the logs for the pastebin of the fully functional script.... right around the "GOT IT!!!!" post if you search | 20:25 |
| spence | oops, not the post i wanted to make.... what would cause this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/ | 20:27 |
| rhpot1991 | so dvd menus work correctly for everyone with the internal player? | 21:29 |
| rhpot1991 | s/so/do | 21:29 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, no | 21:32 |
| tgm4883 | i have some issues with some of my stored dvds | 21:32 |
| tgm4883 | so i switched to xine | 21:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I ripped a dvd to the hd as an iso to mess around | 21:32 |
| rhpot1991 | original menus work fine | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | if I go to a sub menu it automagically is playing something within that | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | I see the menu flash up then video comes on | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | you rip with mythtv? | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | I just tried from the actual dvd remotely, I could get to the submenu but it seemed to get stuck there as I had no control and video never came on | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | yep | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | a rip to xvid seemed to behave strangely too, forward skip was only skipping a second at a time, that might be some setting or something somewhere though, not sure | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | yea i rip outside of mythtv | 21:35 |
| rhpot1991 | any reason why? | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | because I keep my dvd's on my fileserver, not my mythbox | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | i haven't messed with ripping it with mythtv, how much control do you have? | 21:36 |
| rhpot1991 | you can choose what to rip | 21:36 |
| rhpot1991 | sound options (ac3, etc) | 21:36 |
| rhpot1991 | and video quality (iso, perfect (vob), excellent - medium(xvid)) | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, nice | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | maybe i will try that then | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991 | it works quite well | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991 | takes a good 4 hours to rip on my box | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | as I have been having a few issues with my ripper | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | ouch | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | thats a long time | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991 | but its not a quick process to begin with | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | takes me like 30 minutes | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | compressing at all? | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | for a full rip | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | no | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | thats why | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | whats your cpu? | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | why compress? | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | I was messing around | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not sure how long it took to make an iso | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | 1.6 C2D | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | I normally do it then go to bed | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm running on an amd athlon xp 1900+ | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991 | so your cpu it a bit better than mine | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991 | an "excelent" xvid rip came out to be 1.9gb | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | i used to rip to that, but HD space is just so cheap now | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | while the iso was 7.3gb | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | right, but the iso had more than just the main movie on it right? | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm contemplating if the special features are worth that extra space or not | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | you should rip to ogg anyway ;) | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | never messed with ogg | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | hows the compression ratio? | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | depends, if it's a movie, i usually rip just the movie to iso, if it's tv shows, i rip the whole thing | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | why make an iso if its just the movie though? | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | why not? | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | if your just gonna watch the movie, then the menu is a waste of time | 21:42 |
| tgm4883 | menu isn't included | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | is it compressed? | 21:42 |
| tgm4883 | no | 21:42 |
| tgm4883 | fully dvd complient | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | guess I'm just not used to doing it that way | 21:43 |
| tgm4883 | just strips out the extras, and the menus | 21:43 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm used to an iso being a container for something | 21:43 |
| tgm4883 | right, it's a container for the movie. Doesn't need any of the menus | 21:43 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, just seems strange having a container for a single file | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | for instance, if i burned that to a dvd, i could stick it in any dvd player and it would play the movie right away | 21:44 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, that is nice | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | well, it's not exactly a single file | 21:44 |
| * rhpot1991 has an divx dvd player | 21:44 | |
| directhex | iso is a container for an iso9660 file system | 21:44 |
| rhpot1991 | came in handy before I build my mythboxes | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | i think that files are usually 1GB max for video dvd | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | it's been awhile since i looked at it | 21:45 |
| rhpot1991 | I snagged a 1TB mybook on BF, which I plan on ripping my dvd collection to | 21:45 |
| rhpot1991 | so I have just been messing around seeing which direction I want to go | 21:46 |
| rhpot1991 | I wonder how hard it would be to convert an iso to something like xvid at a later time | 21:46 |
| rhpot1991 | there isn't any option to run a user job on a video is there? | 21:48 |
| tgm4883 | probably the same as it is now, or less difficult, being that you would already have it at without encryption and already without unnecessary features | 21:48 |
| tgm4883 | well you could make a user job for it | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm contemplating if I can modify my ipod export script to run on videos too, and which format would be easies to convert to mp4 | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not seeing any sort of menu system for the video | 21:52 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: if you try out the internal mythripper let me know how it compares | 21:57 |
| rhpot1991 | time to head home, take care | 21:58 |
