| nettow0822 | i found this link http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-November/108619.html | 00:41 |
| nettow0822 | not sure if it is the best or not but it works | 00:42 |
| nettow0822 | i'm going to post how I did it in the forum.....what would be the best place? | 00:42 |
| tgm4883 | probably the mythbuntu forum | 00:44 |

| LotharTBL | ok, I tried to mount the filesystems on the mythtv front end. They mounted perfectly on the backend server. I used the same syntax to moun tthem on the front end and am getting wrong fs or I need a helper application? | 04:31 |
| LotharTBL | any help on an NSF problem? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2684/ | 04:54 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, I assume that the directories on the .12 machine have been created for the mount points | 04:59 |
| foxbuntu | yes? | 04:59 |
| foxbuntu | and the nfs file system has been installed? | 05:00 |
| LotharTBL | foxbuntu yes I do | 05:00 |
| LotharTBL | I installed them all on the backend, then realized I needed to install the music and movie directory on the front end | 05:01 |
| foxbuntu | what about nfs? | 05:01 |
| LotharTBL | ok let me try an dmount, I'll post the results stand by | 05:01 |
| foxbuntu | k | 05:01 |
| LotharTBL | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2685/ | 05:03 |
| LotharTBL | same exact setup on both machines | 05:03 |
| LotharTBL | foxbuntu even went so far as to chmod 777 the directories in /mnt to see if that was the problem (it isn't) | 05:06 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, I am just reading over it in parts to verify everything is as it should be | 05:06 |
| LotharTBL | ok, I am stumped. got it to work on the backend for the space, now need to mount my vids and music on the front end. no joy | 05:07 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, why are you mounting it to the frontend? | 05:08 |
| LotharTBL | so when I want to listen to music I can or watch ripped videos I can | 05:08 |
| LotharTBL | I was told that is how to get them to show up when I go to the music player. I am open to other ideas | 05:09 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, those are all contained in the DB on the backend | 05:09 |
| foxbuntu | or do you not have a frontend on the backend too? | 05:09 |
| LotharTBL | well.. how do I get the back end to scan the directories of music? | 05:09 |
| LotharTBL | I can find no place to scan them? | 05:09 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, ok there is my disconnect | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | sorry | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, try $ sudo mount 192.168.1.10:/store/PSD/Music /mnt/music | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, try $ sudo mount 192.168.1.10:/store/PSD/Music /mnt/music | 05:14 |
| LotharTBL | ok let me give it a try that way | 05:15 |
| LotharTBL | foxbuntu same thing as when I try thru fstab | 05:16 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, ok | 05:16 |
| LotharTBL | is there some other step I am missing? | 05:17 |
| LotharTBL | ok here is something. I need to change properties of the directory? drwxrwxrwx 2 505 users 4096 2007-12-12 22:32 myth | 05:19 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, Shouldnt have to | 05:19 |
| foxbuntu | unless its not an nfs share | 05:19 |
| LotharTBL | It is an NSF share, that is the myth directory connected on the .11 machine | 05:20 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 05:20 |
| foxbuntu | post the output of dmesg | tail | 05:20 |
| LotharTBL | ok standby | 05:20 |
| LotharTBL | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2686/ | 05:21 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 05:24 |
| LotharTBL | I know nothing | 05:24 |
| LotharTBL | missing codepage or helper program what is a helper program? | 05:24 |
| LotharTBL | is there something I need to be running? Something I might have on the backend I don't even know I am not running on the front end? | 05:25 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, thats generic | 05:25 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, try this | 05:25 |
| foxbuntu | sudo mount -F nfs /mnt/music | 05:25 |
| LotharTBL | ok whats the -F? | 05:26 |
| foxbuntu | filesystem | 05:26 |
| LotharTBL | mount: special device nfs does not exist | 05:26 |
| LotharTBL | I think its the wrong syntax wait a sec | 05:27 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, yea sorry let me resend it | 05:28 |
| LotharTBL | ok reading man mount | 05:28 |
| foxbuntu | sudo mount -F nfs -o rw,soft 192.168.1.10:/store/PSD/Music /mnt/music | 05:30 |
| foxbuntu | I think thats it | 05:30 |
| LotharTBL | same crap about wrong file system | 05:31 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, try this | 05:32 |
| LotharTBL | Actually that was when I changed the -F to a -t maybe I need to cap NSF? | 05:32 |
| foxbuntu | no | 05:32 |
| LotharTBL | nope dosn't recognize NSF as a file system | 05:32 |
| foxbuntu | sudo apt-get install nfs-client | 05:33 |
| foxbuntu | and | 05:33 |
| foxbuntu | sudo apt-get install nfs-common | 05:33 |
| LotharTBL | working. didn't know there needed to be an nsf client, thought it was included | 05:34 |
| foxbuntu | working now? | 05:35 |
| LotharTBL | Media change: please insert the disc labeled | 05:35 |
| LotharTBL | 'Mythbuntu 7.10 - i386 (071021)' | 05:35 |
| LotharTBL | in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | 05:35 |
| LotharTBL | lol, never seen that on an apt-get | 05:35 |
| foxbuntu | do you have the multiverse and universe repos enabled? | 05:35 |
| LotharTBL | not sure, where is the repository file? | 05:37 |
| foxbuntu | /etc/sources.list | 05:37 |
| foxbuntu | LotharTBL, brb | 05:38 |
| LotharTBL | no source.lst file in my etc | 05:39 |
| LotharTBL | ok | 05:39 |
| LotharTBL | by the way, installing the client worked like a charm. That must be the helper application? | 05:39 |
| shadash | Anybody know if mythbuntu 7.10 will install on an intel Mac Mini? | 06:10 |
| rhpot1991 | shadash: no reason it shouldn't | 06:17 |
| shadash | first hand experience? | 06:18 |
| rhpot1991 | no, but its an intel pc | 06:18 |
| rhpot1991 | what is special about it? | 06:18 |
| shadash | I'm gonna pick up some hardware after xmas | 06:18 |
| shadash | a mac mini seems like a perfect frontend | 06:18 |
| rhpot1991 | most people say it is | 06:19 |
| shadash | I'd rather run myth on linux then osx though | 06:19 |
| rhpot1991 | well ya, you just install linux on it | 06:19 |
| rhpot1991 | though I have read that the frontend runs perfectly fine in osx | 06:19 |
| shadash | I've seen lots of posts about hardware not being supported | 06:20 |
| shadash | I've tested the frontend on osx and it works great | 06:20 |
| shadash | but 1080i/p hidef doesn't work very well | 06:21 |
| shadash | I'm thinking it might run better under linux | 06:21 |
| shadash | but im not positive | 06:21 |
| shadash | how about this question... | 06:22 |
| shadash | has anybody tried a touchscreen with myth post .20? | 06:22 |
| LotharTBL | anyone know how I get artwork for my videos? | 06:42 |
| LotharTBL | or how I get weather to work in mythweb? | 06:44 |
| shadash | I think there's a perl script to pull in movie posters | 06:44 |
| LotharTBL | oh? | 06:44 |
| shadash | or you might have to configure your backend | 06:45 |
| shadash | I't been a while | 06:45 |
| shadash | it's | 06:45 |
| LotharTBL | lol.. always the back end! hahah.. ok I'll give it a look | 06:45 |
| wild_oscar | good morning | 10:45 |
| wild_oscar | is anyone able to help me out with 2 doubts I have with mythtv? | 10:45 |
| wild_oscar | 1) on 2 cd films, what is the best way to name the files? if I have "movie cd1" mythtv will automatically say to play cd2 next, but on the other hand it can't find the movie on imdb... | 10:46 |
| wild_oscar | 2) is there a way to organise the collection so that movies and series (tv shows) are easily separated? | 10:47 |
| wild_oscar | 3) my laptop has a infra-red port built in; how can i use an universal tv remote controller on mythbuntu? | 10:50 |
| directhex|bsp | IrDA ports can rarely be used for remotes | 10:55 |
| wild_oscar | really? | 10:57 |
| wild_oscar | i just remembered yesterday about it...and thought it would be nice, so I wouldn't have to buy a remote | 10:57 |
| wild_oscar | because I wanted to buy one of those wii-like remotes | 10:57 |
| wild_oscar | (influenced by linuxmce's video) | 10:58 |
| wild_oscar | but mythtv doesn't use this kind of remotes | 10:58 |
| directhex|bsp | mythtv is button-based, not pointer-based | 10:58 |
| directhex|bsp | and the wiimote is bluetooth, not IR | 10:58 |
| wild_oscar | I know; wiiremote would need a bluetooth adaptor | 10:59 |
| wild_oscar | this irda would be the cheapest approach, since I have a couple of programmable remotes lying arround | 11:00 |
| wild_oscar | how about one of those logitech gamepads, could they be used to control mythtv? | 12:18 |
| sebrock | is it possible to not install the included lirc in mythbuntu and instead use the original sources? | 12:32 |
| wild_oscar | how does one access the menu options of a dvd during video? | 14:42 |
| wild_oscar | for, say, change subtitles or audio | 14:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Hi guys, I just got mythbuntu installed. I have a STB for Comcast Digital Cable. I checked out the ports on the back, it only has a serial (labeled data) port and a port labeled IR. I also have a PVR 150 with IR Blaster. What would be the "easiest" way to have mythbuntu be able to change channels on the STB? | 17:24 |
| Dr_willis | Heh. I gave up on that. :( but good luck. | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | I have a similer setup. never did get the ir blaster working right. | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure what the ir port is for however.. That may be a better way | 17:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | heh, thanks for the input Dr_willis | 17:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | so you just have a splitter? | 17:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | and record the stuff you can record w/o the box? | 17:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | i mean... most of the stuff i would want to record anyways, is within the first 100 channels, so i could go that route | 17:29 |
| Dr_willis | Yep i just record from 0 to 60 here. | 17:30 |
| Dr_willis | I would like to record some of the higher channels.. but for the stuff i watch. Its | 17:30 |
| Dr_willis | its like always repeates from stuff on the lower channels. | 17:30 |
| Dr_willis | But i tend to only watch BBC/Discocvery and so forth. | 17:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | ahh, i see | 17:30 |
| Dr_willis | Of course I need to redo my setup now. Some how the cable company and the Data i get for the guide listings are all incorrect. | 17:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | i would like to watch some G4TV and record that, which i would need to record from the STB | 17:31 |
| Dr_willis | i think cable moved the channels around. | 17:31 |
| Dr_willis | Yea. g4tv is about the only channel i watch on the STB. and History/Military channel | 17:31 |
| Dr_willis | I tried to get my STB to be on channel 3, so i could just manyually record 3 when i wanted. | 17:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | oh, i got that working, i have it tuned to 4 | 17:32 |
| Dr_willis | but when i hook up the STB - it ONLY gives out signal to channel 3. so i cant record the 0-60 that way | 17:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | so i can see it... it just can't change channels | 17:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | im going to read the Community Docs on how to do this, and see if I can figurei t out | 17:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer | 17:33 |
| Dr_willis | I did have the STB set to the video in, on the pvr150 as a way to do it. | 17:33 |
| Dr_willis | But i gave up after a few days. :) i had so much stuff allready recorded to watch | 17:33 |
| Dr_willis | i dident need to spend days to just fill the hd faster. | 17:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | yea | 17:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | well, I just realized, i don't get g4tv in my programming ... i have the cheapest digital program | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | Heh | 17:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | so really, there is no need for me to hook up the STB | 17:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | hmm, yea, i think I am going to go with not hooking it up to the STB. So I can watch TV while recording another channel | 17:40 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest91, which box is it? | 17:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | but then again, this is my grandpa's PVR for xmas, that i built him. I am giving him my old PVR150, and I am going to rebuild mine with a PVR500 | 17:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | tgm4883 its a Motorolla | 17:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | no numbers on the front | 17:41 |
| tgm4883 | grey? | 17:41 |
| tgm4883 | or black | 17:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | black, i checked on the bottom ... i think its a DCT2524 | 17:42 |
| tgm4883 | ah ok | 17:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | i read the community pages, it recommends calling comcast saying that I want the data port enabled for Tivo | 17:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | and try the data cable route | 17:42 |
| tgm4883 | i was going to say, on the 6200 you can stream via firewire | 17:42 |
| tgm4883 | the data port option sounds good too | 17:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | yea | 17:43 |
| tgm4883 | whats it use? RS232? | 17:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | what do you mean by that question, sorry | 17:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | i am having a problem though with my SVideo output with Mythbunt | 17:44 |
| tgm4883 | nm, i was just wondering what type of cable/protocol it uses for the data port | 17:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | its not showing the full screen... its like zoomed in or something .. so it displays a cut off image. Like there is a inch cut off around the whole screen | 17:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | that i don't see | 17:45 |
| tgm4883 | what kind of tv? | 17:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | but when i VNC to the box, i can see everything... IE, when i exit mythfrontend, i don't even see the Start button to access the menu | 17:45 |
| tgm4883 | yea, thats called overscan | 17:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | Its an old sony | 17:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | oh, ok | 17:46 |
| tgm4883 | sec | 17:47 |
| tgm4883 | i have no idea, but i'm asking around | 17:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | k, i am checking the NVIDIA X Server Settings, to find the overscan settings | 17:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | so far nothing | 17:48 |
| tgm4883 | what video card | 17:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | 8500GT | 17:49 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest91, have you checked nvidia-settings | 17:49 |
| tgm4883 | there should be an overscan adjustment | 17:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | i checked Mythbuntu Control Centre -> Proprietery Drivers -> Launch Nvidia Settings | 17:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | I checked all the menus, but i couldn't find anything that says overscan | 17:51 |
| tgm4883 | is the svideo out on the video card? | 17:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | yea | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | The nvidia settings recognizes that i have a TV connected | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | It says TV0 | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | but i only have 2 settings, digital vibrance, and image sharpening | 17:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | tgm4883 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=445091 | 17:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | seems like someone else had this problem with a 8500 with no solution | 17:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest91 | at least this will be connected with a DVI -> DVI connection eventually. I guess i just won't worry about it | 17:58 |
| wild_oscar | is it possible to automatically search imdb and update the metadata with the mythweb interface? | 19:48 |
| wild_oscar | I see that i can set the imdb number, but the metadata is not updated accordingly | 19:48 |
| DaveMorris | rhpot1991: did you sort out the ATI remote wonder 2 ? | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991 | that wasn't me | 21:49 |
| DaveMorris | my bad, who was it do you know? | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure | 21:49 |

| alexvd | Hi I mounted a drive to setup a livetv disk and when i rebooted it switched the drives. So it is no longer correct. Do I need to issue a unmount command or do I just need to modify Fstab to reflect the proper drive is mounted to the proper share point | 22:52 |
| alexvd | For example I originally mounted /dev/sda1 to /media/livetv. Now it needs to be setup for /dev/sde1 | 22:53 |
| alexvd | Right now its pointing to my boot disc | 22:53 |
