famiconits like00:09
famiconone third of what else is out ther00:09
famicone00:09
noonanhow much are you pricing them - got a site?00:10
famiconnot yet really00:12
famiconim not a sales person00:13
famiconso stuff like promoting it and what not is gonna be a tough one00:13
rhpot1991_laptopnoonan: even if you have digital, you should get your basic stuff over analog00:59
rhpot1991_laptopthere is a dropdown in the setup having to do with the signal type (cable, broadcast, etc) try messing with that01:00
javatexanif you run perl via sudo does all the system calls also run with sudo?01:28
superm1whew can you say awesome news: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=309420;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;list=mythtv01:29
superm1yes javatexan01:31
lime4x4is there anyway to speed up a mce remote? When i push a button it takes up to 3 seconds till it reacts01:35
javatexanmy system ("mv keep failing and basically erasing the file I just spent an hour making....hopefully running the whole thing as sudo will help with that......although i know that I already chmod -R 777 that directory so I don't understand why the mv would fail out of perl01:36
superm1lime4x4, yeah change the repeat setting on the lircrc for the button that you having trouble with01:36
lime4x4there all slow. It ues i usb receiver if that matters01:37
superm1lime4x4, yeah then adjust the repeat value for all of them01:38
superm1if the lircrc was generated via the mythbuntu lirc generator, its easy to quickly change the value on them all01:38
superm1see mythbuntu-lircrc-generator --help01:38
superm1for more info on how to set repeat settings01:38
lime4x4ok thanks01:38
superm1and also delay settings would be relevant too01:38
superm1be sure to restart mythfrontend whenever you change the lircrc01:38
javatexancant figure why my perl scripts are failing  move( or system("mv both seem to fail01:42
javatexando I have to run perl as sudo for filesystem stuff?01:43
javatexanwhy are all my files owned by root?01:44
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1 a few of us were talking about that in here a few days ago01:44
rhpot1991_laptop$250 is a bit pricy though01:44
javatexanso I will have to sudo to do anything with them...right?01:45
javatexanThey are all 777 though01:45
javatexan;)01:45
javatexanhelp....I hate file permissions......:)01:46
javatexanI created some of these folders with samba and the user is nobody...thats not what I wanted01:47
superm1rhpot1991, 250 i think is very fair for that01:48
superm1rhpot1991, considering a hdhomerun runs what, 170?01:48
rhpot1991_laptop150 I thought01:48
rhpot1991_laptopand has 2 tuners01:48
superm1and you only get a selection of channels via a hdhomerun01:48
superm1whereas this, you will get every channel you'd pay for01:48
rhpot1991_laptopah, apparently I didn't read that part01:49
rhpot1991_laptopthought it was just a HD tuner that can record to h26401:49
rhpot1991_laptophave you seen the DTV box too?01:49
superm1na its with analog inputs01:49
superm1so you'd hook up component cables01:49
superm1DTV box?01:50
javatexanhow do you show a processes user ps -lA??01:51
superm1ps uax?01:51
rhpot1991_laptoplets see if I can find a link01:52
javatexanah.....galleon is running as root, that is why all my files are coming up root root01:52
rhpot1991_laptopthere is also the how long till you get drivers for that hauppauge device issue01:53
javatexanhow do I chown everything in a directory and recursive01:53
superm1rhpot1991, well the thing is its a usb device01:53
superm1so its a little easier to do traces of usb calls01:53
javatexansudo chown -R user:user /blah ?01:53
superm1then it is pci calls afaik01:53
superm1yeah javatexan that should do it01:54
javatexanLOL what should I change it too01:54
javatexanroot:root makes sense01:54
superm1what does galleon do?01:55
javatexanI wish it was shared by all01:55
javatexanusers01:55
javatexancopies files from tivo01:55
superm1run it as the mythtv daemon01:55
superm1if you can01:55
superm1your user (and mythbackend) are both in the mythtv group01:56
javatexanokay01:56
javatexanhow will i run a perl script and lost of .sh from that perl if they all have to run as root to work?01:56
javatexanI cant script sudo, can i01:57
superm1why does it need to run as root?01:57
javatexanwhen I try to move the resulting files at the end, the move fails and deletes the file from perl whether I move(  or i use system("mv   they both fail.....although I have not tried running the whole thing sudo myhappyperlprog.pl...wonder if that would work01:58
superm1right, but if you run *everything here* as the mythtv user01:59
superm1(including galleon)01:59
javatexannot sure...it starts with the computer now01:59
superm1right, so modify its init script to start as the mythtv user01:59
superm1take a look at the mythtv-backend init script01:59
superm1for an example01:59
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1 then why are there so many HD usb tuners that are unsuported now?02:00
superm1little incentive?02:00
rhpot1991_laptopsomeone explained it to me that its cause they all use a chip that some company refuses to divulge info about, though that might not be true02:02
rhpot1991_laptop!logs02:02
ubotuChannel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats »02:02
superm1that can be the case02:03
superm1but it all depends on what you need to do with the device02:03
rhpot1991_laptophttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/directvs-pc-tuner-is-real/02:03
rhpot1991_laptopthere we go02:04
tgm4883_laptoparg02:04
* tgm4883_laptop just did a bad thing02:04
rhpot1991_laptopbad things should be done at 1am while you are about to go to sleep02:04
rhpot1991_laptopthat way you need to stay up till 4am fixing everything02:05
* rhpot1991_laptop has a real bad habit of that02:05
tgm4883_laptopnah02:05
tgm4883_laptopI just borked my box02:05
superm1no no. bad things happen AFTER 2 am02:05
tgm4883_laptopeh, actually, doesn't look that bad02:05
superm1don't you watch how i met your mother?02:05
tgm4883_laptopI think i rebooted before my update was complete02:06
rhpot1991_laptophaha02:06
rhpot1991_laptopyes I do02:06
rhpot1991_laptopmy mistakes normally happen at 1:30ish though02:06
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, that looks like a cool toy02:06
tgm4883_laptopi dont think i've ever gotten a kernel panic before02:06
javatexanmy machine is so messed up....so many things are owned by root02:07
javatexanor nobody02:08
javatexan;)02:08
superm1well that can be an okay thing02:08
superm1in some cases02:08
rhpot1991_laptopI've seen worse things02:08
tgm4883_laptopso the pvr-150 transmitting firmware just goes in /lib/firmware right?02:09
superm1yeah02:09
tgm4883_laptopdoes it need chmodded?02:09
tgm4883_laptoplooks like it's 644 and owned by root02:10
superm1dont think so02:10
superm1root is the one that accesses it02:10
superm1remember its a kernel process02:10
tgm4883_laptophmm02:11
tgm4883_laptopi've getting an error about hardware not supporting sending02:11
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1: I am cleaning up a version of that script and I am going to put directions for how to use it as a userjob on the wiki so people can beat it up some and maybe throw me ffmpeg lines for other devices.  Unless for some reason you think that is a horrible idea.02:12
superm1tgm4883_laptop, you using the lirc_pvr150 kernel module?02:13
tgm4883_laptopi believe so02:13
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, seems like a fine idea02:13
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, what about auto expiring these jobs?02:13
superm1did you sort out something for that02:13
rhpot1991_laptopwell I was just gonna toss a script out there that only exports for now02:14
levanderDuring the Mythbuntu install, I used some graphical partition editor.  I need to run it again.  What was the name of it?02:14
rhpot1991_laptopcause I don't have any sort of interface02:14
superm1levander, the one used during install can't be used again02:14
superm1levander, but you can use gparted02:14
superm1instead02:14
levandersuperm1: Why not?02:15
superm1that one in the install is integrated to the installer02:15
superm1gparted is more feature filled anyhow02:15
levanderYeah, okay.  Thanks superm1.02:15
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, influence?02:15
superm1np levander02:15
rhpot1991_laptophuh?02:15
levanderrhpot1991_laptop: I have no idea what you're asking.02:16
levanderNo one here has used the Crossmeta Windows XFS driver have they?02:16
rhpot1991_laptopI am terribly confused02:16
levanderrhpot1991_laptop: Oh, apparently you weren't asking me, sorry.02:16
rhpot1991_laptopheh, its ok02:16
levanderI'm wondering how stable that Crossmeta driver is.02:17
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1: my end goal is a script that runs in cron daily and checks the table of exported recordings to see what ones should be deleted02:18
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, yeah that's feasible i suppose02:18
rhpot1991_laptopthat and the RSS are going to require some sort of interface for the user though02:18
superm1well an mcc page would suffice (although mcc is getting rather crowded)02:19
superm1maybe just its own pyGTK app02:19
superm1and a button in mcc to launch it02:19
rhpot1991_laptopI like the way the user jobs sit under each recording02:19
rhpot1991_laptopand how you can make them fire off after something is recorded02:19
rhpot1991_laptopmaybe it can automate adding it as a user job?02:20
rhpot1991_laptopI haven't gotten to look at any of the plugins code yet to know if there is a better way02:20
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, you know what, i bet im not using that pvr-150 kernel modules02:26
superm1tgm4883, well use them then02:26
tgm4883_laptopis that set in mlg?02:26
superm1modify /etc/lirc/hardware.conf02:26
superm1not in gutsy it's not02:26
superm1in hardy its set in mcc02:26
tgm4883_laptopdo i need to remove lirc_dev or lirc_i2c?02:27
superm1remove lirc_i2c02:27
superm1and put lirc_pvr15002:27
superm1hopefully you don't get the kernel panic (i think the fix was eventuallt released)02:28
tgm4883_laptopk02:28
tgm4883_laptopnow i can just sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart right?02:28
superm1you probably need to unload the module02:29
superm1the old one02:29
superm1that is02:29
tgm4883_laptopand modprobe lirc_pvr150?02:29
superm1the init script will do that part for you02:30
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1: you are love with python eh?02:31
superm1:)02:31
rhpot1991_laptopI'll install pygtk and mess with it02:31
rhpot1991_laptopdid you know that with the mythtv perl bindings you don't need to get mysql info?02:32
tgm4883_laptoprhpot1991_laptop, did you ever get the xbox working with mythtv?02:32
rhpot1991_laptoptgm4883_laptop: 2 different ways02:32
tgm4883_laptopoh?02:32
rhpot1991_laptopbooting xebian and running mythtv on there02:32
rhpot1991_laptopand with the scripts for xbmc02:33
tgm4883_laptopsweet02:33
rhpot1991_laptopnot really all that pleased with either02:33
tgm4883_laptopoh02:33
rhpot1991_laptopmythtv under xebian isn't all that responsive02:33
fenriz_anyone got transcoded recordings to play through xbmcmythtv?02:33
rhpot1991_laptopcompared to a straight up box02:33
rhpot1991_laptopand I don't think I can convince my wife that the xbmc interface is that usable02:33
tgm4883_laptopah02:34
rhpot1991_laptopnot to mention there is a loss of features there02:34
rhpot1991_laptopthough much more responsive02:34
tgm4883_laptopwhat features?02:34
rhpot1991_laptopmythvideo is a big deal on my setup02:34
tgm4883_laptoptrue, although xbmc does a good job of that by itself02:34
rhpot1991_laptoptechnically I guess I can setup a samba share and just use xbmc02:35
rhpot1991_laptopI'll have to revisit it02:35
tgm4883_laptopor nfs I think02:35
rhpot1991_laptopI think it requires smb02:35
tgm4883_laptopdid you have to alter the xbmc mythtv script or anything?02:35
rhpot1991_laptopnope, just downloaded and ran02:35
tgm4883_laptopsmb is the official way i believe02:35
rhpot1991_laptopthough it didn't want to work02:35
tgm4883_laptopsweet, i'll have to check it out02:35
rhpot1991_laptopI had to do the mysql oldpassword thing02:35
rhpot1991_laptopthen save the settings02:36
tgm4883_laptopah02:36
rhpot1991_laptopbefore the test on the settings page would work02:36
fenriz_i'm using ccxstream for regular videos in xbmc02:36
tgm4883_laptopso i might be bugging you when I try to set it up on mine02:36
rhpot1991_laptopyou need to use that with the xebian method too actually02:36
fenriz_works great02:36
rhpot1991_laptopheh, feel free02:36
rhpot1991_laptopI hacked myself an xbox usb cable too02:36
rhpot1991_laptopusb keyboard is a savior while working on that stuff02:36
tgm4883_laptopheh, thats always fun02:36
tgm4883_laptopgives you plenty more options02:36
rhpot1991_laptopya02:36
tgm4883_laptoparg02:37
rhpot1991_laptopI have an older usb HD that I might try to store roms on or something02:37
tgm4883_laptopnow my mythbox is pretty unresponsive02:37
tgm4883_laptop:(02:37
rhpot1991_laptopif I don't find a better use hooking it up to my router02:37
rhpot1991_laptopunfortunate02:37
rhpot1991_laptopit would be cool if you could hack up xebian to use a flash drive in addition to your ram, cause thats the problem with the xbox, lack of ram02:38
tgm4883_laptopwell, you could add ram02:38
tgm4883_laptopbut it's a serious PITA02:38
rhpot1991_laptopya I'm not too good with a soldering iron, was hard enough making this usb cable02:39
tgm4883_laptopf, whats the deal with this thing now :(02:39
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, just install glade-302:39
superm1and you are set02:39
superm1dont need much more than that02:39
rhpot1991_laptopon what?02:39
superm1for doing pyGTK development02:39
superm1you can write the gui in glade-302:40
superm1and then the python backend in your favorite editor02:40
rhpot1991_laptopah ok02:40
rhpot1991_laptopI don't know python either, so I might see what kind of perl gtk stuff there is out there02:40
superm1yeah its all the same basic stuff02:40
superm1there is a perl gtk one too02:40
tgm4883_laptopman, i've had to reisub twice in 5 min02:41
rhpot1991_laptopI did something cool with my router last night, configured it to boot from usb and then purposely broke the OS02:41
rhpot1991_laptopunplugged the usb rebooted and it booted from the flash then02:41
rhpot1991_laptopopenwrt gets very mad when you upgrade the whole system and it runs out of space02:42
superm1yeah it does02:43
superm1i've fsck'ed my wr850g several times because of that02:43
rhpot1991_laptopI managed to do that the other night without knowing it was a problem, lost internet to everything but the router02:44
rhpot1991_laptopwas a pain to download a new flash without any access02:44
rhpot1991_laptopbooting from usb is cool though, then I have a failsafe when I break things in the AM02:45
tgm4883_laptophmm02:46
tgm4883_laptopi'm not exactly sure that lirc is starting anymore02:46
superm1tgm4883_laptop, well check if the modules load02:49
superm1and if the daemon is running02:49
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, it hangs when i try to restart lir03:03
tgm4883_laptopc03:03
superm1tgm4883,03:09
superm1yeah thats the kernel panic03:09
superm1turn on gutsy-proposed03:09
tgm4883ah03:09
superm1and see if you get an update to linux-ubuntu-modules03:09
superm1i think its been added there03:10
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, yep, theres an update to that.  I'll grab it and hope it works03:21
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, i think im making progress.  At least now im getting unknown remote "blaster"03:34
tgm4883_laptopis /etc/lirc/lircd.conf the wrong place to put the blaster codes?03:36
superm1that i'm not sure03:37
tgm4883_laptophmm03:38
tgm4883_laptopi followed the transmitting part of03:38
tgm4883_laptophttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Gutsy?highlight=%28lirc%29#head-544e05ebce68b53795c3d8c5963c444a778a8d6803:38
DarWin_desktopdoes anyone know if mythtv plans to expand card support any time soon? i have ati all-in-wonder, ati tv-wonder 650, and a hauppauge 850 (i think).03:39
Aquahallicevenin' folks03:41
Aquahalliccan someone tell me where that lock file is that you have to delete if you hang a frontend in the middle of watching livetv03:42
* Aquahallic can't remember where the file is to save his LIFE!03:42
superm1just restart mythbackend?03:43
Aquahallicyou could03:43
superm1DarWin_desktop, not that i've heard03:43
Aquahallicbut there's a lock file somewhere03:43
superm1yeah tgm4883 once you should be set03:43
superm1Aquahallic, well this i wasn't aware03:44
superm1because it comes down to the backend keeping the tuner open03:44
superm1not a lock file  i thought03:44
Aquahallicright... and there's a file you can delete that releases it03:44
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, still not getting anything.  possibly related, irw doesn't display anything when i push remote buttons either03:44
Aquahallicwithout having to reboot the entire backend03:44
superm1Aquahallic, well i'd say poke around in your recordings directory03:45
superm1if anything03:45
superm1tgm4883, broken lircd.conf perhaps?03:45
Aquahallicyeah.. it's not there03:45
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, perhaps03:45
superm1did you mix and match a few remotes by accident03:45
AquahallicI used to know where it was but I'll be #%^& if I can remember where now03:45
superm1Aquahallic, /var/run, /var/log?03:45
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, well, i started out using the mceusb2 remote, but just today changed it to the hauppauge remote by using MCC03:45
Aquahallicno... it's a lock file somewhere03:46
superm1Aquahallic, well there aren't many areas that have those permissions (mythtv:mythtv)03:46
superm1i just listed the 3 that i was aware of03:46
superm1/home/mythtv/.mythtv would be the last place i would suppose that a lock file might get put03:46
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, there are 5 or 6 remotes listed in my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file03:47
rhpot1991_laptopthis glade is strange03:48
superm1rhpot1991_laptop, its not strange.  you're strange :)03:48
rhpot1991_laptopheh, I could be03:48
rhpot1991_laptopdoesn't want to let me move anything03:49
superm1oh you have to cut/copy/paste things03:49
superm1you can't just "move" them03:49
rhpot1991_laptopnot sure if I am missing a parent container or something03:49
rhpot1991_laptoplike its tossing a txt container right in the middle of the entire thing03:49
superm1you'll learn about idiosyncrasies of it as you use it03:49
superm1you do need to put in hbox'es or vbox'es03:49
superm1or alignments to make things fit03:49
superm1grab the mcc sources and you can see how some of the things that i put together are laid out03:50
rhpot1991_laptophmmm, opened up mythbuntu_control_centre.glade03:56
rhpot1991_laptopbut it never shows me anything in the center area03:56
superm1yeah03:56
superm1double click on the right03:56
superm1it will open up the page03:56
rhpot1991_laptopah ok03:57
superm1that confused me too the first time03:57
rhpot1991_laptopthis make more sense if I think of it as an xml document04:04
=== superm1_ is now known as superm1

hansoffatelike that?05:19
pdragonyep05:19
hansoffatek sweet05:20
pdragonnext time you try to install something, should get it from online05:20
hansoffatewell, it looks like it may be working05:20
hansoffateConverting file, should be done in about the length of the show ...05:20
hansoffateclose window05:20
hansoffatethanks for the help05:21
pdragonsure05:21
hansoffatei wonder how to play it, once its encoded05:21
pdragonthere was probably something else you could've done instead of restarting05:21
pdragonusually is with linux05:21
pdragonbut, sometimes the old reboot is easier than fiddling with things :)05:21
hansoffateyea05:22
hansoffatewhats the default directory it restores recordings?05:22
hansoffatei forgot to point my expire.pl script to the right directory05:22
pdragonum... can't remember05:22
pdragoni have my default record directory set to something else05:22
hansoffatepdragon how do i see a list of the running processes?05:30
hansoffatei wnt to see if the computer is actually transcoding05:30
pdragonps -A05:30
pdragonor05:30
pdragontop05:30
pdragontop is a real-time monitor05:31
pdragonhit 'q' to get out of it05:31
hansoffatehmm05:31
hansoffateit looks like nothing is running05:31
pdragonhmm... not sure. i haven't done any transcoding stuff myself05:32
pdragonso, might have to wait for someone else05:32
hansoffatek05:35
hansoffateim having trouble figuring out how to play it once its transcoded05:35
hansoffateor how to tell if its transcoding05:35
hansoffateoh well, i'll wait like an hour and see if anything has changed05:35
hansoffatethanks for the help pdragon05:36
hansoffateim going to do some work05:36
superm1_there is a way to check the status from within mythfrontend05:36
superm1_or mythweb's status page05:36
pdragonthere's the guy that knows!05:37
pdragon:)05:37
hansoffatesuperm1_ i am trying to follow this tutorial: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone05:37
superm1_ah05:38
hansoffatei figure if its mp4, i could stream it to VLC at work aswell05:38
hansoffateas well as an ipot and iphone05:38
superm1_well good luck with that, if you get it working i'll be interested to hear as well.  i'm always looking for new things to do with my touch :)05:38
hansoffateof which i don't have05:38
hansoffatek05:38
hansoffateso far, i think its working following it step by step05:38
hansoffatei clicked the newly created "ENCODE" link in my Mythweb "Recorded Programs" and it said its recording now05:39
hansoffateit says it will take roughly the show length ... 30 minutes, for it to finish.  What I am wondering, is how do i play it after its encoded05:39
hansoffatewill the link change or something... but really, i can just wait for it, there is no reason to waste your time05:39
superm1_i'm really not too sure anyhow :)05:40
hansoffatek, i'll report back if it works and I can easily stream content05:41
hansoffatehmm, didn't seem to start the transcode05:43
hansoffatethere was no mp4 file created so far05:44
defendguini'm looking for some assistance with mkiconmap.pl   i installed the xmltv packages but i don't have this perl script06:00
superm1_look around /usr/share/mythtv-backend/contrib06:01
superm1_or so06:01
defendguini don't have a mythtv-backend dir06:15
defendguin  /usr/share/mythtv  exists06:15
defendguinhows it going mario?06:16
superm1_alright06:18
superm1_try /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib06:18
defendguinmkiconmap.pl.gz06:20
superm1_yeah you might have to extract it06:20
defendguinsays my postal code is invalid06:21
superm1_well move to a real place ! :)06:21
defendguinlol06:21
superm1_you might need to grab the updated one from svn.mythtv.org then06:21
defendguinhmmm06:28
defendguindon't think its gonna work06:29
defendguinhttp://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/icons/master_iconmap/README   got the new perl script from here06:29
defendguindoesn't work06:29
defendguinBareword found where operator expected at channel_icons.pl line 9, near "/trunk/mythtv"06:29

defendguinUnrecognized character \xE2 at channel_icons.pl line 9.06:29
superm1_yuck06:30
defendguineh this sucks06:42
defendguinsuperm1_: do you have channel icons?06:42
hansoffate_pdragon:  you here still?06:43
superm1_no i never bothered with it06:43
hansoffate_i got a question about symlinks06:43
hansoffate_i have my music  at   /share/Musik/     MythMusic through mythweb can't find the Music becuase its looking in /var/www/mythweb/data/music/(Artist folder)06:44
hansoffate_when i do ln -s /share/Musik /var/www/mythweb/data/music    it puts the "Musik" folder in the "music" folder so it looks like this - /var/www/mythweb/data/music/Musik/(Artist Folder)06:45
hansoffate_see, this is what i get when i try to play some music through Mythweb.  The requested URL /mythweb/data/music/Dream Theater/Falling Into Infinity/01 New Millennium.m4a was not found on this server.06:47
superm1_it all boils down to trailing slashes06:47
superm1_and if that "music"06:47
hansoffate_but if i change it to  The requested URL /mythweb/data/music/Musik/Dream Theater/Falling Into Infinity/01 New Millennium.m4a was not found on this server.06:47
hansoffate_it works06:47
superm1_directory in the data directory already exists06:47
hansoffate_i see06:47
hansoffate_the data directory already exists06:48
hansoffate_and the "music directory already exists06:48
superm1_well you need to get rid of that directory06:49
superm1_you want it to be a symlink instead06:49
=== W_|laptop is now known as Wy_Laptop
hansoffate_oh06:50
hansoffate_so what should the command be?06:51
hansoffate_ln -s /share/Musik/ /var/www/mythweb/data/share/   again? but with /share/ deleted06:51
superm1_no06:51
superm1_i would think it should be something like06:52
superm1_ln -s /share/Musik/ /var/www/mythweb/data/music06:52
superm1_but with music deleted06:52
hansoffate_yup, that did it06:53
hansoffate_thanks06:53
hansoffate_so with no trailing / ... it makes that folder and puts the symlink there?06:53
superm1_yeah06:53
hansoffate_awesome, thanks for the help06:54
hansoffate_totally worked06:54
hansoffate_so far, that transcode job looked like it never ran06:54
hansoffate_i don't think it worked06:54
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Channel_icons use the master_icons, its the new way to do icons06:58
blkorpheusI got theicons06:59
blkorpheusthat was cool06:59
blkorpheusbut now an issue seemingly from now where06:59
blkorpheusnowhere06:59
blkorpheusmyth no longer uses the whole screen07:00
blkorpheusvideo is bunched in the middle07:00
blkorpheusany ideas why this has happened?07:00
blkorpheusis it my xorg?07:00
hansoffate_i still haven't gotten channel i cons07:00
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_: did you enable transcoding on the backend?07:03
defendguinrhpot1991_laptop: will that work if you are using 7.04?07:04
hansoffate_i didn't specifically set it ... i have it default, let me check07:04
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: whew thats a toughy, I'm not sure if the mythtv perl  bindings are there or not, try it and see???07:04
superm1_i didn't think perl bindings worked in 0.20.207:04
defendguini've looked at this page before i don't think it does07:05
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1_: my ipod script uses that and it runs on the gutsy + mythtv07:05
hansoffate_oh yea? i am trying to get this to work07:05
hansoffate_http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone07:05
hansoffate_so i can convert it to MP4 and perhaps be able to watch it at work or remotely07:06
rhpot1991_laptopI recall asking you about them on feisty long ago, but its been fine for a while07:06
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: i have "allow Transcoding jobs" checked07:06
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_ you need to enable transcoding on a box in mythtv-setup, general about the 4th or 5th tab in07:06
rhpot1991_laptopcheck your mythtv logs then07:06
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: where are they ... sorry07:07
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_ I have a script that will export recordings into mp4, though it is meant to be used to get your recordings to your ipod outside of mythtv07:08
rhpot1991_laptop/var/logs/mythtv/07:08
* rhpot1991_laptop just woke up, and its hard to read, so I may be a little slow responding07:08

hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: i tried just manualling running the script from the frontend07:12
hansoffate_and not the mythweb interface, and the logs dont' say anything07:12
defendguinrhpot1991 not an option07:12
rhpot1991_laptopwhere can you run a user job from mythweb?07:12
defendguini'm not gonna upgrade this box every 6 months07:12
hansoffate_2008-01-13 23:11:42.149 JobQueue: Started "Mythipod" for "Chappelle's Show" recorded from channel 1020 at Fri Jan 11 21:30:00 200807:13
hansoffate_Usage: /usr/local/bin/mythipod.sh directory file07:13
hansoffate_2008-01-13 23:11:42.206 JobQueue: Finished "Mythipod" for "Chappelle's Show" recorded from channel 1020 at Fri Jan 11 21:30:00 2008.07:13
rhpot1991_laptopor does the script do something else07:13
hansoffate_so at least its trying to run07:13
rhpot1991_laptopwhat happens if you run it by hand?07:15
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: the tutorial that i sent you had me add something to the "recorded.php" which gives me the option now to "ENCODE?" through mythweb, but it isn't working either, but im guessing its because its not running properly07:15
rhpot1991_laptopand how are you making user jobs run from within mythweb?07:15
rhpot1991_laptopah07:15
rhpot1991_laptopya I thought there wasn't anything there out of the box07:15
hansoffate_http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone07:16
hansoffate_i don't know how to do it by hand07:16
rhpot1991_laptopif you go into your recordings and hit the right arrow07:16
rhpot1991_laptopa menu will pop up for the recording07:16
hansoffate_k07:16
rhpot1991_laptopthen there is a jobs option, where user jobs are listed07:16
hansoffate_yea, i tried running it from there and i got that output in the logs07:17
hansoffate_the "Mythipod" job07:17
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_ is the streaming that important?  or do you just want them on your ipod?07:17
hansoffate_well this just converts them to mp4, which i could play on the ipod, or stream07:18
hansoffate_so i guess this job uses libfaac, but when i try to apt-get install libfaac    nothing shows up07:18
hansoffate_E: Couldn't find package libfaac07:19
rhpot1991_laptopits built into ffmpeg07:19
rhpot1991_laptopthough on ubuntu its just -acodec aac07:19
rhpot1991_laptopI can give you my script if you want to mess around with it07:20
hansoffate_k07:20
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: this is the line im trying to run   ffmpeg -i "${directory}/${file}" -acodec libfaac -ab ${abitrate} -s ${width}x${height} -vcodec mpeg4 -b ${vbitrate} -flags +aic+mv4+trell -mbd 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 250 -maxrate 512k -bufsize 2M -title "${file}" "${directory}/${file}.mp4"07:20
rhpot1991_laptophttp://www.baablogic.net/mythexport.pl07:24
rhpot1991_laptopcopy that to /usr/local/bin07:25
rhpot1991_laptopthen sudo chmod +x mythexport.pl07:25
rhpot1991_laptopgo get atomicparsley: http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/07:26
rhpot1991_laptopthe debian one works well there07:26
rhpot1991_laptophttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/atomicparsley/AtomicParsley-debian-0.9.0.zip?modtime=1159292337&big_mirror=007:26
rhpot1991_laptoplet me know when you are caught up07:27
defendguinwhat about dvd playback?   i set up ogle to play a dvd it plays it but  1 its not in full screen mode and i can't find and command line option to do so 2 i can't control it with a remote07:27
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: I use xine for dvd/mythvideo07:28
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: what does this convert the file to? mp4?07:28
defendguindoes xine support dvd menus well?07:28
rhpot1991_laptopmp4 or h26407:29
rhpot1991_laptopthe mp4 can be in xvid or mpeg4 (which doesn't make sense cause mpeg4 is just a container but oh well)07:30
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: well enough that I haven't noticed any problems07:30
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop:  k i got the zip07:31
rhpot1991_laptopextract that then inside there is an execuctable 'AtomicParsley'07:31
defendguinwhat command do you use in myth for playing a dvd07:31
rhpot1991_laptopcopy that to /usr/local/bin and chmod +x it07:32
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythVideo#Xine_Configuration07:32
rhpot1991_laptopis what I used07:32
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: extract?07:32
hansoffate_what should i use07:32
rhpot1991_laptophttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine actually07:33
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_: try unzip #zipfile#07:33
defendguinrhpot1991_laptop: i guess i have to set up something for lirc for xine07:33
defendguinfor it to read the remote07:33
rhpot1991_laptopdefendguin: my lirc already had it in there07:33
defendguinhmmm ok07:33
rhpot1991_laptopdepends if you are lucky or not07:33
defendguini'll give it a try07:34
rhpot1991_laptopthough I don't like the buttons, never got around to changing them07:34
hansoffate_`didn't have unzip, im installing it now07:34
rhpot1991_laptopI meant to make a wiki entry on installing this today too, but then football and random stuff distracted me07:34
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: i see, seems pretty straightforward so far... if you know what you are doing07:36
hansoffate_ok ; caught up its copied and chmoded07:36
rhpot1991_laptopok go ahead and make a director somewhere to hold your ipod exports07:37
rhpot1991_laptopdirectory07:37
hansoffate_i think the other script saved the mp4's in the same recordings directory asthe mpgs07:37
hansoffate_i think if i save them in the same place, i maybe able to stream them07:38
hansoffate_ive bene trying to read the code to figure out how this works07:38
rhpot1991_laptopI would make a seperate one till everything is working, then you can mess with combining07:38
hansoffate_k07:39
rhpot1991_laptopmine does a lot with tagging it with itunes data07:39
rhpot1991_laptopso when you drop it in it shows up in tv shows and has info in there07:39
hansoffate_k07:40
hansoffate_k07:40
hansoffate_i got /share/Temp as the directory07:40
rhpot1991_laptopjust beware I do a mv $exportdir/*temp*.mp4 $newfilename near the end07:41
rhpot1991_laptopcause atomicparsley spits out a new file with temp in the name07:41
hansoffate_ok07:41
rhpot1991_laptopso if you have anything that might conflict in your recordings dir I would hate to see you lose data07:41
rhpot1991_laptopok now you need to go setup a user job like you did for the other one07:42
hansoffate_don't i need to edit the mythexport.pl?07:42
rhpot1991_laptophere is what I have in mine: mythexport.pl exportdir=/mythtv/ipod starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=320x240 aspect=4:3 audio_bitrate=192kb video_bitrate=300kb export_device=ipod export_codec=mpeg407:42
rhpot1991_laptopany of those can be changed for instance aspect can become 16x907:43
rhpot1991_laptopexport_codec can be xvid/mpeg4/h26407:43
rhpot1991_laptopyou shouldn't need to, it takes everything from the cli07:44
rhpot1991_laptopthere are some defaults in there, but as long as you pass it something it will use that instead07:44
hansoffate_k07:44
rhpot1991_laptopfeel free to modify it if you want, if you come back and tell me hey x works better under this ffmpeg line then I will take that into account07:45
rhpot1991_laptopor if you want to give me a ffmpeg line for some other device07:45
defendguinrhpot1991_laptop: thanks for that suggestion   that worked really well and i agree the button mappings do need to be reworked but it will do for now07:45
hansoffate_do i need to put /home/hansoffate/bin/mythexport.pl first?07:45
rhpot1991_laptopyou should have actually put them into /usr/local/bin07:46
rhpot1991_laptop /usr is a folder there07:46
rhpot1991_laptoponce they are in there you only need to type the mythexport.pl and nothing before it07:46
rhpot1991_laptopsame with atomicparsley07:46
hansoffate_k07:47
rhpot1991_laptoponce you move them there, fire up a terminal and try to do 'mythexport.pl'07:47
rhpot1991_laptopand it should fire you usage info07:48
hansoffate_ok07:48
hansoffate_does it keep the file name the same?07:48
rhpot1991_laptopno07:48
rhpot1991_laptopit renames them to a readable format07:48
rhpot1991_laptopchannel_show_episode_date.mp407:49
rhpot1991_laptopsomething along the lines of that07:49
hansoffate_damnit, this isn't going to work with the other thing to beable to stream07:49
rhpot1991_laptopand trims them if its over x didgits07:49
blkorpheusvideo playing in narrow band07:49
rhpot1991_laptopyou can modify that if you want07:49
hansoffate_see, this is how mythweb will be calling the .mp4 file07:50
hansoffate_$file = basename($show->filename);07:50
hansoffate_if(file_exists($show->filename . '.mp4')){07:50
hansoffate_echo '<a href="/mythweb/data/recordings/' . $file . '.mp4" target="_blank">Watch</a> ';07:50
rhpot1991_laptopmaybe I'll look into adding that as an option, to use the old names07:50
hansoffate_so im assuming, if the filename is preserved with just an added .mp4, this may be able to play the file07:50
hansoffate_or am i reading this incorrectly?07:51
rhpot1991_laptopbasename is prob everything till the .07:51
rhpot1991_laptopthen it adds .mp4 under that07:51
rhpot1991_laptopnow is that trying to create them on the fly, or ahead of time?07:51
hansoffate_this is supposed to check if its filename.mp4, if not, instead of displaying "Watch", it displays "Encode"07:52
rhpot1991_laptopah ok07:52
hansoffate_then supposedly, you can click on "Encode" and it will encode it for you and after the show lenght, you can relog into mythweb, and watch it in like 30 minutes for a 30 minute show07:52
rhpot1991_laptopya with mine you need to put them on your ipod yourself07:52
hansoffate_yea, i don't have an ipod touch or iphone, but i have a couple of friends that do, and it would be sweet for them, plus then I could stream this to my work computer with VLC07:53
rhpot1991_laptopthat depends on the speed of your box07:53
hansoffate_C2D with 2 gigs, should be able to handle it07:53
rhpot1991_laptopya07:53
rhpot1991_laptopeasily07:53
rhpot1991_laptopyou can stream to vlc without reencoding07:54
rhpot1991_laptopthough it depends on your bandwidth and all07:54
hansoffate_yea, but if this works, this would kill 2 birds with 1 stone07:54
rhpot1991_laptopya07:54
hansoffate_k07:55
hansoffate_i just began the job07:55
rhpot1991_laptopnow you enabled the user job, same place where the enable transcoding it, right?07:55

rhpot1991_laptopit looks like it started to create the mp4, but then when it went to tag it it wasn't there08:03
hansoffate_no08:04
hansoffate_nothing is in the /share/Temp folder08:04
hansoffate_permissions porblem?08:04

hansoffate_chmod 77?08:04
rhpot1991_laptopyou can try08:04
hansoffate_chmod 777?08:04
defendguinrhpot1991_laptop: i fixed the xine section of the .mythtv/lircrc if you want it08:04
rhpot1991_laptopif you throw a debug at the end of the script08:05
rhpot1991_laptopthen it will show you the ffmpeg line it is going to run, instead of running it08:05
rhpot1991_laptopthen you can run that yourself and see if there is a problem08:05
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: changing the permssions looked like it worked08:07
hansoffate_now, how do I make it retain the same filename?08:07
rhpot1991_laptopI have a better idea08:07
rhpot1991_laptopscroll down in the script where I do08:08
rhpot1991_laptopif ($exportdevice eq "ipod"08:08
MythbuntuGuest52hello all08:08
hansoffate_k08:08
rhpot1991_laptoptake the ffmpeg lines in there, and play with the options in your other script till they work08:08
rhpot1991_laptopthen you should be good over there08:08
MythbuntuGuest52I have search and search for an answer for this one08:08
rhpot1991_laptopsince my script doesn't really do everything you need it to do08:09
=== MythbuntuGuest52 is now known as snakeman66
hansoffate_how do you get the ffmpeg line it uses?08:09
rhpot1991_laptopjust edit the script, and look in there08:09
snakeman66how do I solve the duplicate channel numbers for two providers in mysql or otherwise08:10
rhpot1991_laptopthere are 2 vbr lines that are commented out, and one that it ran08:10
rhpot1991_laptopthe vbr lines only work if you do '-vcoded xvid'08:10
snakeman66I found how vdr handles it but not mythtv08:10
rhpot1991_laptopthey produce smaller files with not too much less quality08:10
rhpot1991_laptopI suspect your problem is that ubuntu ffmpeg is using different options, I had that problem when I first set mine up08:11
rhpot1991_laptop'-acodec aac' stands out as a difference08:12
rhpot1991_laptopsnakeman66: you can modify channel info in mythweb, that might be your easiest bet08:12
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_ get what I am saying?08:13
snakeman66crap tried that but their is hundreds of channel numbers08:13
snakeman66their there sorry a little sleepy08:13
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: yea, i am going to try editing the other script and changing -acodec libfaac to -acodec aac   and see if that fixes the problem08:15
hansoffate_is there anyway to kill the process going on now?08:15
rhpot1991_laptopwhich process?08:15
rhpot1991_laptopthe one started by my script?08:15
hansoffate_the ffmpeg process runing to my /share/Temp folder, so I can try out the other job08:15
hansoffate_yea08:15
rhpot1991_laptopps uax |grep ffmpeg08:16
rhpot1991_laptopthen sudo kill the pid listed there08:16
hansoffate_thanks08:17
rhpot1991_laptopno problem08:18
rhpot1991_laptoplet me know how it ends up working out for you08:18
snakeman66ok thanks neway guys08:18
rhpot1991_laptophansoffate_ I'm off to bed, have a good night08:21
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: hmm i get the same problem.   2008-01-14 00:18:41.981 JobQueue: Started "Mythipod" for "That '70s Show" recorded from channel 1004 at Sun Jan 13 22:30:00 200808:21

rhpot1991_laptopperms?08:21
hansoffate_rhpot1991_laptop: oh ok, thanks, i think i will do the same.   I have no idea what to do08:21
hansoffate_hmm good idea08:21
hansoffate_night rhpot1991_laptop, thanks for the help08:22
rhpot1991_laptopcheck persms, if that isn't helping then do something like my script does where you print out the ffmpeg line08:23
rhpot1991_laptopcan just throw a print in front of it08:23
rhpot1991_laptopprint "string"; is the syntax08:23
rhpot1991_laptopand then run the ffmpeg line by hand and see if it gives you anything else08:24

Shred00bonjour mon amis.13:52
Shred00i am wondering why the mythbuntu weekly builds repository is not browsable.  when i try to open http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu an error:13:52
Shred00Forbidden13:52
Shred00You don't have permission to access /mythbuntu/ubuntu/ on this server.13:52
Shred00there shouldn't be any reason to keep a repository from being browsed13:52
Shred00i notice also that the uk mirror is browsable.  now i can see why i am getting 404 errors for Packages.bz2.  :-)13:53
DavieyShred00: do you want me to make it non-browsable?15:19
Shred00Daviey: lol.  the uk mirror?  not at all.  just the opposite.  i think the us mirror should be browsable.15:21
* Daviey has no control over the us one15:21

MythbuntuGuest16could some one walk me through mounting a samba share to my myth video folder?16:48
MythbuntuGuest16I seem to have broken the link to my video files in myth. Under video setting and then general settings I was trying to add the samba share smb://desktop/videos to my /var/lib/mythtv/video and I deleted it. I must have the directory wrong on both now. I went to my video manager and all the videos are missing now.16:56

MythbuntuGuest46rhpot1991_laptop  I found this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently in the link you gave me. for the //servername/sharename would I inoput my network share as smb://desktop/videos? When I did sudo mount -a It said there was no ip address.17:57

rhpot1991_laptoptry to mount it by hand18:15
MythbuntuGuest46the share I can access through this machine on ff but but not through the ff on the media center18:16
Dr_willisput the server name/ip in the hosts file - may help.18:19
Dr_williswhats the exact fstab/mount line you are using also? May be a simple typo.18:20
rhpot1991_laptopI have heard ciifs can be a pain with perms too18:22
Dr_willisI tend to use the  smbfuse tool now a days.18:30
MythbuntuGuest46the mount point is smb://192.168.1.129/videos18:36
MythbuntuGuest46what is smbfuse18:36

MythbuntuGuest46yes I was.18:49
MythbuntuGuest46let me see if that does it18:50
Dr_willisthats why i asked for the 'exact' line you were using. :)18:50
MythbuntuGuest46thanks a bunch.18:59
