TariTracy_Home, where do you get this error?03:06
Tracy_Homein the inputs setup screen03:11
Tariwhat card do you have?03:12
Tracy_Homemy card is being detected by I'm not sure I'm setting it up right03:12
Tracy_HomeI've got a Kworld ATSC 11503:12
Tracy_HomeI followed the wiki to allow it to show up03:12
Tracy_Homeand its being detected but I couldn't find anything on setting it up03:12
Tariso it's detected and has a device, but mythtv-setup chokes on it?03:15
Tracy_Homewell I don't know, not sure I'm setting the settings right03:16
Tracy_HomeI've never set one up before03:16
Tracy_HomeI don't mind doing the reading if there's a how to that can explain the settings screen for the backend03:16
Tracy_HomeI've got a feeling that I'm missing a small but vital bit of info on how to configure the settings03:18
TariI don't really know03:19
TariI've only ever set up an IVTV card, and that was a snap03:20
Taridoes 'ls /dev | grep video' return anything?03:20
Tracy_Homeit returns video003:22
Tariso yes, everything's fine kernel-wise03:25
TariI don't know what to tell you03:26
Tari'good luck figuring it out'?03:26
Tarisince I don't know03:26
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

directhexhe didn't get an exact answer to his completely vague question (i guess nvidia.com set him up the bomb) within 10 minutes, so left. he'll probably now install a pirate copy of winmce, and talk about how useless linux is on forums, especially the support08:30

dortomythbuntu setup is allowing selection from only select channel frequencies - US, Japan, China, Australia etc. My country India is not on the list, what should I select?13:12
dortoI am talking about: Globar Backend Setup -> Channel Frequency Tablet13:14

dortoI am using WinTV-PVR--500MCE13:15
dortoI can watch tv alright in MediaPorta/Windows but can't in mythubuntu. anybody wants to help?13:52
dortomy card is detected correctly by the setup but how to make it scan for the channels (PAL B, India)13:53
levanderI'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
levanderI had to install xfsprogs and xfsdump, fixed now.14:28
rhpot1991what was the problem?14:36
frink_hmm16:26
new2linxanyone help with mythweb stating "2005_20071127190000.mpg does not exist in the recordings directory." Yet it exists on the slave backend/frontend?16:29
JThundleyI had that problem, my mythbackend was screwed up because /dev/video0 got moved16:29
JThundleyI was testing out a webcam16:29
new2linxand 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
rhpot1991check the perms on that directory16:30
JThundleywait, the backend/frontend are the same machine but you're using a real IP address?16:30
JThundleyyou should probably be using loopback, 127.0.0.116:30
new2linxwell /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
new2linxno, the master backend has to have it's static ip for others to connect to it.16:31
new2linxthe perms are folder is owned by mythtv:mythtv as well as all the recordings.16:32
rhpot1991I think mythweb has a different folder though16:32
rhpot1991let me check mine16:32
new2linxdon't think so.16:33
new2linxactually 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
rhpot1991check /var/www/mythweb/16:33
rhpot1991make sure recordings points to the right spot16:34
new2linxmythweb only is installed on the master backend/frontend so there is no /var/www/mythtv folder on the slave backend/frontend.16:35
rhpot1991ln -s /directory/where/recordings/are/ recordings16:36
rhpot1991have t sudo rm -rf recordings first16:36
rhpot1991to get rid of the link16:36
new2linxand 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/fe16:36
rhpot1991I'm not sure mythweb can handle that16:37
new2linxrhpot1991: there's already a symlink there, thanks though16:37
rhpot1991might have to setup some sort of nfs share16:37
new2linxREALLY? mythweb access the database doesn't it?16:37
rhpot1991and have your box with mythweb able to see the recordings16:37
new2linxthe database should have the recordings location which is on the slave be/fe.16:37
rhpot1991well it can see in the db that they are somewhere, but I don't think wwwdata has access to the folder on the other backends16:37
rhpot1991let me check that on mine16:38
new2linxhow can I view a mysql database entry for where this recording thinks it's located?16:38
frink_yo16:38
rhpot1991yep, same error16:38
new2linxREALLY? so you're saying that mythweb can't access files that are located on a slave be/fe?16:39
rhpot1991that is my belief16:39
new2linxhuh.16:39
frink_even with nfsings ?16:40
new2linxhow do you handle your slave and master recording storage?16:40
rhpot1991I have a lvm on each box16:40
rhpot1991so myth itself shares recordings16:40
new2linxso you do keep your recordings seperate on each machine then?16:40
rhpot1991but things like mythvideos I have a nfs share from one box to the other16:40
rhpot1991yep16:40
rhpot1991solution would be to use a nfs share and have them all in the same place, but you are gonna lose storage then16:41
new2linxi find this hard to believe that this hasn't been discussed before.16:42
rhpot1991it might be, I haven't looked into it16:42
rhpot1991I don't use mythweb for actually viewing video files, I could drive home and watch it quicker than it will stream16:42
new2linxthat's a good point. I should just be using mythfrontend for viewing. I sure hope that works!16:43
rhpot1991ya that works fine16:44
rhpot1991provided its set up correctly16:44
new2linxyeap, 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
rhpot1991ya16:48
new2linxI'll have to check the mythtv mailing list about this issue. there's gotta a solution without losing storage space16:48
rhpot1991you should check out nx16:48
rhpot1991I prefer it over vnc16:48
new2linxthanks for the help. I tried nx but always had problems with using a passphrase for my secure ssh server16:48
new2linxgotta go. thanks for the help. I am actually at work right now. :-)  I should actually do some work16:49
rhpot1991heh, no problem16:49
* rhpot1991 may also currently be at work16:49
new2linxrhpot1991: 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 DXPC17:10
frink_not just remote frame buffer17:10
frink_DXPC was cool, I ran it over 9k6 IP links back in like '95-617:10
datphyshgreetings19:36
datphyshhello.  Anyone hear feel like throwing me some input on a proposed setup?19:44
rhpot1991sure19:45
datphyshI'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
datphyshMy current plan has been:19:46
datphyshAMD 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 card19:48
rhpot1991unfortunately I don't do HD currently19:48
directhexyou'd be better off with intel19:48
rhpot1991so I can't really give much input as far as that goes19:48
directhexbut i suspect that spec is high enough for US (mpeg2) HD19:49
datphyshfrom 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 cost19:49
datphyshbetter performing "than" rather19:50
datphyshbut otherwise, in rendering and encoding, this was the top of the AMD line, so I was hoping it'd be good enough19:50
datphyshbut 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
directhexunder linux *any* nvidia card will behave the same. well, anything newer than geforce419:54
directhexgf8, gf7, whatever19:54
datphyshok, well thank you for your input19:57
tgm4883directhex, unless i'm missing something obvious, datphysh's specs are more than adaquate20:13
directhextgm4883, hd h264 is a real bitch on any spec20:14
directhextgm4883, as a pure floating-point process, i'd usually go for the cpu with twice the performance in that field20:14
tgm4883yep, i missed that part20:14
tgm4883your talking about his requirement for HD-dvd or bluray?20:15
directhexboth are a bit nebulous, and less demanding than broadcast20:19
spenceyes, check the logs for the pastebin of the fully functional script.... right around the "GOT IT!!!!" post if you search20:25
spenceoops, not the post i wanted to make.... what would cause this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/20:27
rhpot1991so dvd menus work correctly for everyone with the internal player?21:29
rhpot1991s/so/do21:29
tgm4883rhpot1991, no21:32
tgm4883i have some issues with some of my stored dvds21:32
tgm4883so i switched to xine21:32
rhpot1991I ripped a dvd to the hd as an iso to mess around21:32
rhpot1991original menus work fine21:33
rhpot1991if I go to a sub menu it automagically is playing something within that21:33
rhpot1991I see the menu flash up then video comes on21:33
tgm4883you rip with mythtv?21:33
rhpot1991I 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 on21:33
rhpot1991yep21:33
rhpot1991a 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 sure21:34
tgm4883hmm21:35
tgm4883yea i rip outside of mythtv21:35
rhpot1991any reason why?21:35
tgm4883because I keep my dvd's on my fileserver, not my mythbox21:35
tgm4883i haven't messed with ripping it with mythtv, how much control do you have?21:36
rhpot1991you can choose what to rip21:36
rhpot1991sound options (ac3, etc)21:36
rhpot1991and video quality (iso, perfect (vob), excellent - medium(xvid))21:37
tgm4883hmm, nice21:37
tgm4883maybe i will try that then21:37
rhpot1991it works quite well21:37
rhpot1991takes a good 4 hours to rip on my box21:37
tgm4883as I have been having a few issues with my ripper21:37
tgm4883ouch21:37
tgm4883thats a long time21:37
rhpot1991but its not a quick process to begin with21:37
tgm4883takes me like 30 minutes21:38
rhpot1991compressing at all?21:38
tgm4883for a full rip21:38
tgm4883no21:38
rhpot1991thats why21:38
rhpot1991whats your cpu?21:38
tgm4883why compress?21:38
rhpot1991I was messing around21:38
tgm4883ah21:38
rhpot1991I'm not sure how long it took to make an iso21:38
tgm48831.6 C2D21:38
rhpot1991I normally do it then go to bed21:38
rhpot1991I'm running on an amd athlon xp 1900+21:39
rhpot1991so your cpu it a bit better than mine21:39
rhpot1991an "excelent" xvid rip came out to be 1.9gb21:39
tgm4883i used to rip to that, but HD space is just so cheap now21:40
rhpot1991while the iso was 7.3gb21:40
tgm4883right, but the iso had more than just the main movie on it right?21:40
rhpot1991I'm contemplating if the special features are worth that extra space or not21:40
tgm4883you should rip to ogg anyway ;)21:40
rhpot1991never messed with ogg21:40
rhpot1991hows the compression ratio?21:41
tgm4883depends, if it's a movie, i usually rip just the movie to iso, if it's tv shows, i rip the whole thing21:41
rhpot1991why make an iso if its just the movie though?21:41
tgm4883why not?21:42
rhpot1991if your just gonna watch the movie, then the menu is a waste of time21:42
tgm4883menu isn't included21:42
rhpot1991is it compressed?21:42
tgm4883no21:42
tgm4883fully dvd complient21:42
rhpot1991guess I'm just not used to doing it that way21:43
tgm4883just strips out the extras, and the menus21:43
rhpot1991I'm used to an iso being a container for something21:43
tgm4883right, it's a container for the movie.  Doesn't need any of the menus21:43
rhpot1991ya, just seems strange having a container for a single file21:44
tgm4883for instance, if i burned that to a dvd, i could stick it in any dvd player and it would play the movie right away21:44
rhpot1991ya, that is nice21:44
tgm4883well, it's not exactly a single file21:44
* rhpot1991 has an divx dvd player21:44
directhexiso is a container for an iso9660 file system21:44
rhpot1991came in handy before I build my mythboxes21:44
tgm4883i think that files are usually 1GB max for video dvd21:45
tgm4883it's been awhile since i looked at it21:45
rhpot1991I snagged a 1TB mybook on BF, which I plan on ripping my dvd collection to21:45
rhpot1991so I have just been messing around seeing which direction I want to go21:46
rhpot1991I wonder how hard it would be to convert an iso to something like xvid at a later time21:46
rhpot1991there isn't any option to run a user job on a video is there?21:48
tgm4883probably the same as it is now, or less difficult, being that you would already have it at without encryption and already without unnecessary features21:48
tgm4883well you could make a user job for it21:48
rhpot1991I'm contemplating if I can modify my ipod export script to run on videos too, and which format would be easies to convert to mp421:49
rhpot1991I'm not seeing any sort of menu system for the video21:52
rhpot1991tgm4883: if you try out the internal mythripper let me know how it compares21:57
rhpot1991time to head home, take care21:58
