[00:41] <nettow0822> tell foxbuntu that I found a way to get both remotes working - snapstream firefly
[00:41] <nettow0822> i found this link   http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-November/108619.html
[00:42] <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?
[00:44] <tgm4883> probably the mythbuntu forum
[01:00] <nettow0822> OK TY

[04:31] <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?
[04:54] <LotharTBL> any help on an NSF problem? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2684/
[04:59] <foxbuntu> LotharTBL, I assume that the directories on the .12 machine have been created for the mount points
[04:59] <foxbuntu> yes?
[05:00] <foxbuntu> and the nfs file system has been installed?
[05:00] <LotharTBL> foxbuntu yes I do
[05:01] <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
[05:03] <LotharTBL> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2685/
[05:03] <LotharTBL> same exact setup on both machines
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <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?
[05:10] <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
[05:14] <foxbuntu> LotharTBL, try $ sudo mount 192.168.1.10:/store/PSD/Music /mnt/music
[05:15] <LotharTBL> ok let me give it a try that way
[05:16] <LotharTBL> foxbuntu same thing as when I try thru fstab
[05:16] <foxbuntu> LotharTBL, ok
[05:17] <LotharTBL> is there some other step I am missing?
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <LotharTBL> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2686/
[05:24] <foxbuntu> hmm
[05:24] <LotharTBL> I know nothing
[05:24] <LotharTBL> missing codepage or helper program what is a helper program?
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <LotharTBL> ok whats the -F?
[05:26] <foxbuntu> filesystem
[05:26] <LotharTBL> mount: special device nfs does not exist
[05:27] <LotharTBL> I think its the wrong syntax wait a sec
[05:28] <foxbuntu> LotharTBL, yea sorry let me resend it
[05:28] <LotharTBL> ok  reading man mount
[05:30] <foxbuntu> sudo mount -F nfs -o rw,soft 192.168.1.10:/store/PSD/Music /mnt/music
[05:30] <foxbuntu> I think thats it
[05:31] <LotharTBL> same crap about wrong file system
[05:32] <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
[05:33] <foxbuntu> sudo apt-get install nfs-client
[05:33] <foxbuntu> and
[05:33] <foxbuntu> sudo apt-get install nfs-common
[05:34] <LotharTBL> working. didn't know there needed to be an nsf client, thought it was included
[05:35] <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?
[05:37] <LotharTBL> not sure, where is the repository file?
[05:37] <foxbuntu> /etc/sources.list
[05:38] <foxbuntu> LotharTBL, brb
[05:39] <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?
[06:10] <shadash> Anybody know if mythbuntu 7.10 will install on an intel Mac Mini?
[06:17] <rhpot1991> shadash: no reason it shouldn't
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <shadash> how about this question...
[06:22] <shadash> has anybody tried a touchscreen with myth post .20?
[06:42] <LotharTBL> anyone know how  I get artwork for my videos?
[06:44] <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?
[06:45] <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
[10:45] <wild_oscar> good morning
[10:45] <wild_oscar> is anyone able to help me out with 2 doubts I have with mythtv?
[10:46] <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...
[10:47] <wild_oscar> 2) is there a way to organise the collection so that movies and series (tv shows) are easily separated?
[10:50] <wild_oscar> 3) my laptop has a infra-red port built in; how can i use an universal tv remote controller on mythbuntu?
[10:55] <directhex|bsp> IrDA ports can rarely be used for remotes
[10:57] <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
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <wild_oscar> I know; wiiremote would need a bluetooth adaptor
[11:00] <wild_oscar> this irda would be the cheapest approach, since I have a couple of programmable remotes lying arround
[12:18] <wild_oscar> how about one of those logitech gamepads, could they be used to control mythtv?
[12:32] <sebrock> is it possible to not install the included lirc in mythbuntu and instead use the original sources?
[14:42] <wild_oscar> how does one access the menu options of a dvd during video?
[14:42] <wild_oscar> for, say, change subtitles or audio
[17:24] <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?
[17:26] <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
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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.
[17:36] <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
[17:40] <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
[17:41] <MythbuntuGuest91> tgm4883 its a Motorolla
[17:41] <MythbuntuGuest91> no numbers on the front
[17:41] <tgm4883> grey?
[17:41] <tgm4883> or black
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <tgm4883> the data port option sounds good too
[17:43] <MythbuntuGuest91> yea
[17:43] <tgm4883> whats it use?  RS232?
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <MythbuntuGuest91> oh, ok
[17:47] <tgm4883> sec
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <MythbuntuGuest91> 8500GT
[17:49] <tgm4883> MythbuntuGuest91, have you checked nvidia-settings
[17:50] <tgm4883> there should be an overscan adjustment
[17:50] <MythbuntuGuest91> i checked Mythbuntu Control Centre -> Proprietery Drivers -> Launch Nvidia Settings
[17:51] <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?
[17:52] <MythbuntuGuest91> yea
[17:52] <MythbuntuGuest91> The nvidia settings recognizes that i have a TV connected
[17:52] <MythbuntuGuest91> It says TV0
[17:53] <MythbuntuGuest91> but i only have 2 settings, digital vibrance, and image sharpening
[17:55] <MythbuntuGuest91> tgm4883 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=445091
[17:56] <MythbuntuGuest91> seems like someone else had this problem with a 8500 with no solution
[17:58] <MythbuntuGuest91> at least this will be connected with a DVI -> DVI connection eventually.  I guess i just won't worry about it
[19:48] <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
[21:48] <DaveMorris> rhpot1991: did you sort out the ATI remote wonder 2 ?
[21:49] <rhpot1991> that wasn't me
[21:49] <DaveMorris> my bad, who was it do you know?
[21:49] <rhpot1991> not sure
[22:52] <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
[22:53] <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
