williammandathen I get the myth screen to show the video info...00:00
williammandathen when I hit enter...00:00
Triskaidekaphobinext question, why can't i recompile the kernel to support a new dvb device? i keep getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/00:01
tgm4883Triskaidekaphobi, do you have build-essiental installed?00:02
williammandai get a window that says "failed to open 'video name-001.vob' in /home/DVD/video name/vob check if the video exists00:02
Triskaidekaphobitgm4883: yes00:02
tgm4883Triskaidekaphobi, not sure then00:03
tgm4883williammanda, so you get that error on frontend1, does that file seem to exist on frontend1?00:04
williammandanot sure what is going on since myth sees the other computers videos? If it sees the videos why doesn't it play them?00:04
tgm4883thats a good question00:05
tgm4883im wondering if it is seeing information that is stored in the database, then when it trys to actually play the file it doesn't exist00:05
williammandaI get this error if I'm try to play videos from C2D that have videos on PIV3G or the other way around00:05
tgm4883ok00:05
tgm4883so on C2d00:05
tgm4883on C2D, if I went to /home/DVD/video name/vob would I find the video there?00:06
williammandayes...I can do this outside of myth00:07
tgm4883strange00:07
williammandaright now I can use xine and play video off of each computer00:07
tgm4883ok, on C2D, whats the full path where the NFS share from PIV3G is mounted?00:08
williammanda192.168.1.103:/home /PIV3G nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr00:12
williammandathat is from fstab00:13
williammandaand I have a dir on C2D called PIV3G00:13
tgm4883ok, and on C2D, what is the "dir that holds videos" from media settings in the frontend00:13
williammanda/home/DVD   this is the same on all computers00:14
tgm4883ok, well here is the problem im seeing00:15
tgm4883your mounting the share to /PIV3G00:15
tgm4883so on C2D, the mount is at /PIV3G, not /home/DVD/PIV3G, correct?00:15
williammandacorrect00:16
williammandathe mount is PIV3G00:16
tgm4883ok, thats your problem.  the frontend is looking for the file in the wrong place00:16
tgm4883this is what you need to do00:16
tgm4883are there multiple users on the frontend?00:16
williammandaand in myth...I'm tell it to look in /home/DVD00:17
williammandano...just one user00:17
tgm4883ok, we should probably just make a symbolic link from /PIV3G to /home/DVD/PIV3G00:18
tgm4883do you know how to sym link?00:20
tgm4883I always forget the direction it goes in00:20
williammandawell I'm a command line kinda guy :)00:20
williammandanot00:21
williammanda:)00:21
tgm4883k, sec00:21
tgm4883ln -s /PIV3G /home/DVD/00:23
tgm4883I think that will do it00:23
tgm4883williammanda, after you do that, try going to /home/DVD/PIV3G00:23
tgm4883and see if your files are in there00:23

williammandayes00:50
trimetaHow does one properly set up XMLTV? From a default ubuntu-server install (with the linux-generic kernel added), I installed mythbuntu-desktop.00:50
williammandabut I can't tell that unless I did this00:50
trimetaI then installed xmltv and related packages, and though I can now see it as an option under Video Sources, when I select it I get a progress bar stuck at 50% indefinitely.00:51
superm1alt-tab00:52
superm1trimeta, ^00:53
williammandasuperm1 how italian are you?00:53
superm150 percent00:53
trimetaI can't alt-tab out of it; all the configuration stuff takes over the whole screen. I can ctrl+alt+F1 to go to a terminal and killall mythtv-setup, but that seems inelegant.00:53
trimetaAnd doesn't actually solve the problem of importing XMLTV data.00:54
superm1trimeta, well see the thing is the terminal you launched it from00:54
superm1is where that xmltv control happens00:54
trimetaOh, that terminal. I'd been using the GUI shortcut, but I noticed the terminal pop up beforehand.00:54
williammandame too 50 %00:54
superm1exactly00:54
trimetaAlt-tab doesn't take me to it, though.00:54
trimetaWait, it does.00:54
superm1that gui that  terminal that pops up before hand00:54
superm1is where you do it00:55
trimetaOK, I'll try again and see what's actually going on.00:55
superm1it's not entirely clear unfortunately :)00:55
superm1williammanda, cool :)00:55
williammandaanastasio00:55
williammandau?00:55
trimetaThe timezone offset, is that with or without DST? I'm in the US Eastern timezone; that's -5000, right?00:56
trimeta-0500, that is.00:56
williammandaeveryone gives me a hard time about being short......00:56
trimetaAlso, is it possible to get Schedules Direct without paying $20? Or is that something one has to live with?00:56
williammandaenven though i'm 5' 8"00:57
tgm4883trimeta, well there is Schedules Indirect, which is free, but you have to manually enter in when you want it to record, and you don't get channel data00:57
superm1williammanda, i unfortunately don't speak or read italian though :(  I only understand "dinner" talk from visiting my nona's weekly00:57
superm1trimeta, you're going to have to live with it00:57
trimetaWell, damn.00:58
superm1trimeta, 20 bucks a year i would think sounds fair though for what you get, does it not?00:58
williammandaok....sorry....just having a good time00:58
superm1:)00:58
trimetaI guess I'll see if I can actually get this working...the 7 day free trial is nice for that.00:58
superm1trimeta, why are you using xmltv?00:59
superm1for schedules direct stuff00:59
williammandatrimeta it is worth it00:59
superm1there is a native interface for it00:59
trimetaTrue...I had wanted to use XMLTV only; is that an option?00:59
superm1trimeta, well ti's very silly to do it that way01:00
superm1because it then goes SD->xmltv->mythtv01:00
superm1whereas it can normally just go SD->mythtv01:00
superm1and work perfectly01:00
trimetaTrue. But is there some source of data for US broadcasts which isn't SD?01:00
tgm4883trimeta, IIRC some places have EIT data01:01
trimetaI don't think that's going to work with the cable setup I have...SD it is, then.01:01
williammandasuperm1 tgm4883 needs a raise :)01:01
tgm4883+101:01
superm1eahy01:02
williammandathe customer service is top notch01:03
tgm4883now if I could only fix the issue :)01:03
tgm4883it's cause superm1 says we can't eat unless we help 50 people per day, and I haven't met my quota ;)01:04
tgm4883williammanda, ok, so in "Watch Videos", you should have some movies listed, as well as a PIV3G folder right?01:10
williammandayes C2D and PIV3G01:11
tgm4883ok, and if you go into PIV3G, can you play videos?01:12
williammandahold on01:13
williammanda...need to start myth here01:13
tgm4883k01:13
williammandaok...same thing....01:14
tgm4883ok01:15
williammandaPIV3G will play the resident videos01:15
williammandanot videos on C2D01:15
tgm4883well were only dealing with C2D right now, right?01:15
williammandathe same problem exists on both computers.....01:16
tgm4883right, but lets just work on C2D.  Once that one gets fixed it should be easier to reverseduplicate on PIV3G01:17
williammandacan't play videos from the other computer01:17
tgm4883so on C2D, in "Watch Videos" you have videos listed, and how many folders?01:18
williammandaall of the folders that are on PIV3G01:18
tgm4883interesting, they shouldn't be in that folder, they should be in a subfolder of PIV3G01:19
williammandawell.....01:20
williammandai just looked....01:20
tgm4883oh ok01:20
tgm4883so they are in the sub-folder?01:20
williammandathere is a folder PIV3G01:20
williammandain PIV3G01:21
williammandaand it works01:22
tgm4883what do you mean it works?01:26
williammandahold on...trying01:29
=== Varka_ is now known as Varka
mindframe_ tgm4883 any luck on those specs?02:45

wilberfanwhat's the best way to install a .deb with an earlier version of the lirc-generator?23:21
wilberfanis it 'dpkg -i --force <package>?23:21
foxbuntuwilberfan, why do you want to do that?23:26
wilberfanfoxbuntu: last time i installed it--it fixed my channel up & down problem...23:36
foxbuntuwhich version?23:37
wilberfani did a re-install of mythbuntu yesterday (on a new xfs partition)...and the buttons are messed up again...23:37

foxbuntuwilberfan, grab the newest version of it...0.17 should be avail thru the repos now23:39
foxbuntuand those are fixed in that version23:39
wilberfanthat's what i assumed...  after i installed--i ran all available updates...  but remote didn't work right just now when i tried it....23:42
wilberfani figured i needed the previous version--which DID work properly before i re-installed...23:42
wilberfanok...the update manager is telling me that 17 is avail...i'm applying it now...23:43
wilberfanis there something i'm supposed to do AFTER i install it?   re-run something, or...?23:44
foxbuntuwilberfan, yes23:45
foxbuntujust run it and it will apply the changes23:45
wilberfanrun "it"....?23:45
foxbuntuthen you have  restart lirc and mythfrontend23:45
wilberfanrebooting will accomplish that, right?23:46
foxbuntu$ sudo mythbuntu-lircrc-generator23:46
foxbuntuwilberfan, yes23:46

foxbuntuoh wait23:46

foxbuntuits ok23:46
wilberfanwhen it comes up should i run the generator command?23:47
feroxideHi all. I am setting up a mythtv frontend, and also have a spare pc for a backend. Can I install Ubuntu Server edition on the spare pc to use as a backend of the mythtv? Or would it be easier to just install a mythtv backend on the spare?23:48
foxbuntuferoxide, you can do the Frontend and backend on the same machine23:49
jpdrawneekhi - any one had trouble with wifi on 7.10?23:49
foxbuntujpdrawneek, what issues23:50
jpdrawneekfoxbuntu: loses it wpa password when it reboots23:50
foxbuntudid you store it in the Keychain?23:51
jpdrawneekyes23:51
jpdrawneekbut i do not want to use keychains23:51
jpdrawneekthe box is to have no keyboard23:52
foxbuntujpdrawneek, usually once its stored there it will use it everytime from that profile23:52
jpdrawneeki know but on every reboot it loses it23:53
jpdrawneekkeychains works - but you need to type in the password23:53
jpdrawneekmanual does save the password - but then does not work after a reboot23:53
jpdrawneekas far as i can tell you put the password in the the wifi card setup in /etc/netowork/interface23:54
jpdrawneekits the only sticking point i got so far23:55
