[00:00] <noonan> that's my advice
[00:03] <noonan> still they give you a card and say go buy
[00:04] <famicon> nononono
[00:04] <famicon> i own the company
[00:05] <noonan> oh, cool, hosting service?
[00:05] <famicon> yeah
[00:05] <famicon> hosting + registrar
[00:05] <famicon> i do some other stuff too
[00:06] <famicon> trying to get a mythbuntu PVR store off the ground
[00:06] <noonan> oh cool, where?
[00:07] <famicon> The netherlands
[00:07] <famicon> europe
[00:07] <famicon> been planning it for a few months npw
[00:08] <noonan> that's a great idea
[00:08] <famicon> wel, it gets better
[00:09] <famicon> it sbasicly a HTPC the size of a vcr
[00:09] <noonan> how so?
[00:09] <famicon> but its CHEAP
[00:09] <famicon> and silent
[00:09] <famicon> its like
[00:09] <famicon> one third of what else is out ther
[00:09] <famicon> e
[00:10] <noonan> how much are you pricing them - got a site?
[00:12] <famicon> not yet really
[00:13] <famicon> im not a sales person
[00:13] <famicon> so stuff like promoting it and what not is gonna be a tough one
[00:59] <rhpot1991_laptop> noonan: even if you have digital, you should get your basic stuff over analog
[01:00] <rhpot1991_laptop> there is a dropdown in the setup having to do with the signal type (cable, broadcast, etc) try messing with that
[01:28] <javatexan> if you run perl via sudo does all the system calls also run with sudo?
[01:29] <superm1> whew 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=mythtv
[01:31] <superm1> yes javatexan
[01:35] <lime4x4> is there anyway to speed up a mce remote? When i push a button it takes up to 3 seconds till it reacts
[01:36] <javatexan> my 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 perl
[01:36] <superm1> lime4x4, yeah change the repeat setting on the lircrc for the button that you having trouble with
[01:37] <lime4x4> there all slow. It ues i usb receiver if that matters
[01:38] <superm1> lime4x4, yeah then adjust the repeat value for all of them
[01:38] <superm1> if the lircrc was generated via the mythbuntu lirc generator, its easy to quickly change the value on them all
[01:38] <superm1> see mythbuntu-lircrc-generator --help
[01:38] <superm1> for more info on how to set repeat settings
[01:38] <lime4x4> ok thanks
[01:38] <superm1> and also delay settings would be relevant too
[01:38] <superm1> be sure to restart mythfrontend whenever you change the lircrc
[01:42] <javatexan> cant figure why my perl scripts are failing  move( or system("mv both seem to fail
[01:43] <javatexan> do I have to run perl as sudo for filesystem stuff?
[01:44] <javatexan> why are all my files owned by root?
[01:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1 a few of us were talking about that in here a few days ago
[01:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> $250 is a bit pricy though
[01:45] <javatexan> so I will have to sudo to do anything with them...right?
[01:45] <javatexan> They are all 777 though
[01:45] <javatexan> ;)
[01:46] <javatexan> help....I hate file permissions......:)
[01:47] <javatexan> I created some of these folders with samba and the user is nobody...thats not what I wanted
[01:48] <superm1> rhpot1991, 250 i think is very fair for that
[01:48] <superm1> rhpot1991, considering a hdhomerun runs what, 170?
[01:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> 150 I thought
[01:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> and has 2 tuners
[01:48] <superm1> and you only get a selection of channels via a hdhomerun
[01:48] <superm1> whereas this, you will get every channel you'd pay for
[01:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah, apparently I didn't read that part
[01:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> thought it was just a HD tuner that can record to h264
[01:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> have you seen the DTV box too?
[01:49] <superm1> na its with analog inputs
[01:49] <superm1> so you'd hook up component cables
[01:50] <superm1> DTV box?
[01:51] <javatexan> how do you show a processes user ps -lA??
[01:51] <superm1> ps uax?
[01:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> lets see if I can find a link
[01:52] <javatexan> ah.....galleon is running as root, that is why all my files are coming up root root
[01:53] <rhpot1991_laptop> there is also the how long till you get drivers for that hauppauge device issue
[01:53] <javatexan> how do I chown everything in a directory and recursive
[01:53] <superm1> rhpot1991, well the thing is its a usb device
[01:53] <superm1> so its a little easier to do traces of usb calls
[01:53] <javatexan> sudo chown -R user:user /blah ?
[01:53] <superm1> then it is pci calls afaik
[01:54] <superm1> yeah javatexan that should do it
[01:54] <javatexan> LOL what should I change it too
[01:54] <javatexan> root:root makes sense
[01:55] <superm1> what does galleon do?
[01:55] <javatexan> I wish it was shared by all
[01:55] <javatexan> users
[01:55] <javatexan> copies files from tivo
[01:55] <superm1> run it as the mythtv daemon
[01:55] <superm1> if you can
[01:56] <superm1> your user (and mythbackend) are both in the mythtv group
[01:56] <javatexan> okay
[01:56] <javatexan> how will i run a perl script and lost of .sh from that perl if they all have to run as root to work?
[01:57] <javatexan> I cant script sudo, can i
[01:57] <superm1> why does it need to run as root?
[01:58] <javatexan> when 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 work
[01:59] <superm1> right, but if you run *everything here* as the mythtv user
[01:59] <superm1> (including galleon)
[01:59] <javatexan> not sure...it starts with the computer now
[01:59] <superm1> right, so modify its init script to start as the mythtv user
[01:59] <superm1> take a look at the mythtv-backend init script
[01:59] <superm1> for an example
[02:00] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1 then why are there so many HD usb tuners that are unsuported now?
[02:00] <superm1> little incentive?
[02:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> someone 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 true
[02:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> !logs
[02:02] <ubotu> Channel 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 »
[02:03] <superm1> that can be the case
[02:03] <superm1> but it all depends on what you need to do with the device
[02:03] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/directvs-pc-tuner-is-real/
[02:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> there we go
[02:04] <tgm4883_laptop> arg
[02:04]  * tgm4883_laptop just did a bad thing
[02:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> bad things should be done at 1am while you are about to go to sleep
[02:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> that way you need to stay up till 4am fixing everything
[02:05]  * rhpot1991_laptop has a real bad habit of that
[02:05] <tgm4883_laptop> nah
[02:05] <tgm4883_laptop> I just borked my box
[02:05] <superm1> no no. bad things happen AFTER 2 am
[02:05] <tgm4883_laptop> eh, actually, doesn't look that bad
[02:05] <superm1> don't you watch how i met your mother?
[02:06] <tgm4883_laptop> I think i rebooted before my update was complete
[02:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> haha
[02:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> yes I do
[02:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> my mistakes normally happen at 1:30ish though
[02:06] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, that looks like a cool toy
[02:06] <tgm4883_laptop> i dont think i've ever gotten a kernel panic before
[02:07] <javatexan> my machine is so messed up....so many things are owned by root
[02:08] <javatexan> or nobody
[02:08] <javatexan> ;)
[02:08] <superm1> well that can be an okay thing
[02:08] <superm1> in some cases
[02:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> I've seen worse things
[02:09] <tgm4883_laptop> so the pvr-150 transmitting firmware just goes in /lib/firmware right?
[02:09] <superm1> yeah
[02:09] <tgm4883_laptop> does it need chmodded?
[02:10] <tgm4883_laptop> looks like it's 644 and owned by root
[02:10] <superm1> dont think so
[02:10] <superm1> root is the one that accesses it
[02:10] <superm1> remember its a kernel process
[02:11] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[02:11] <tgm4883_laptop> i've getting an error about hardware not supporting sending
[02:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1: 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.
[02:13] <superm1> tgm4883_laptop, you using the lirc_pvr150 kernel module?
[02:13] <tgm4883_laptop> i believe so
[02:13] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, seems like a fine idea
[02:13] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, what about auto expiring these jobs?
[02:13] <superm1> did you sort out something for that
[02:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> well I was just gonna toss a script out there that only exports for now
[02:14] <levander> During the Mythbuntu install, I used some graphical partition editor.  I need to run it again.  What was the name of it?
[02:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> cause I don't have any sort of interface
[02:14] <superm1> levander, the one used during install can't be used again
[02:14] <superm1> levander, but you can use gparted
[02:14] <superm1> instead
[02:15] <levander> superm1: Why not?
[02:15] <superm1> that one in the install is integrated to the installer
[02:15] <superm1> gparted is more feature filled anyhow
[02:15] <levander> Yeah, okay.  Thanks superm1.
[02:15] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, influence?
[02:15] <superm1> np levander
[02:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> huh?
[02:16] <levander> rhpot1991_laptop: I have no idea what you're asking.
[02:16] <levander> No one here has used the Crossmeta Windows XFS driver have they?
[02:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> I am terribly confused
[02:16] <levander> rhpot1991_laptop: Oh, apparently you weren't asking me, sorry.
[02:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> heh, its ok
[02:17] <levander> I'm wondering how stable that Crossmeta driver is.
[02:18] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1: my end goal is a script that runs in cron daily and checks the table of exported recordings to see what ones should be deleted
[02:18] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, yeah that's feasible i suppose
[02:18] <rhpot1991_laptop> that and the RSS are going to require some sort of interface for the user though
[02:19] <superm1> well an mcc page would suffice (although mcc is getting rather crowded)
[02:19] <superm1> maybe just its own pyGTK app
[02:19] <superm1> and a button in mcc to launch it
[02:19] <rhpot1991_laptop> I like the way the user jobs sit under each recording
[02:19] <rhpot1991_laptop> and how you can make them fire off after something is recorded
[02:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> maybe it can automate adding it as a user job?
[02:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> I haven't gotten to look at any of the plugins code yet to know if there is a better way
[02:26] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, you know what, i bet im not using that pvr-150 kernel modules
[02:26] <superm1> tgm4883, well use them then
[02:26] <tgm4883_laptop> is that set in mlg?
[02:26] <superm1> modify /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
[02:26] <superm1> not in gutsy it's not
[02:26] <superm1> in hardy its set in mcc
[02:27] <tgm4883_laptop> do i need to remove lirc_dev or lirc_i2c?
[02:27] <superm1> remove lirc_i2c
[02:27] <superm1> and put lirc_pvr150
[02:28] <superm1> hopefully you don't get the kernel panic (i think the fix was eventuallt released)
[02:28] <tgm4883_laptop> k
[02:28] <tgm4883_laptop> now i can just sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart right?
[02:29] <superm1> you probably need to unload the module
[02:29] <superm1> the old one
[02:29] <superm1> that is
[02:29] <tgm4883_laptop> and modprobe lirc_pvr150?
[02:30] <superm1> the init script will do that part for you
[02:31] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1: you are love with python eh?
[02:31] <superm1> :)
[02:31] <rhpot1991_laptop> I'll install pygtk and mess with it
[02:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> did you know that with the mythtv perl bindings you don't need to get mysql info?
[02:32] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991_laptop, did you ever get the xbox working with mythtv?
[02:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> tgm4883_laptop: 2 different ways
[02:32] <tgm4883_laptop> oh?
[02:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> booting xebian and running mythtv on there
[02:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> and with the scripts for xbmc
[02:33] <tgm4883_laptop> sweet
[02:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> not really all that pleased with either
[02:33] <tgm4883_laptop> oh
[02:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> mythtv under xebian isn't all that responsive
[02:33] <fenriz_> anyone got transcoded recordings to play through xbmcmythtv?
[02:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> compared to a straight up box
[02:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> and I don't think I can convince my wife that the xbmc interface is that usable
[02:34] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[02:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> not to mention there is a loss of features there
[02:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> though much more responsive
[02:34] <tgm4883_laptop> what features?
[02:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> mythvideo is a big deal on my setup
[02:34] <tgm4883_laptop> true, although xbmc does a good job of that by itself
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> technically I guess I can setup a samba share and just use xbmc
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> I'll have to revisit it
[02:35] <tgm4883_laptop> or nfs I think
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> I think it requires smb
[02:35] <tgm4883_laptop> did you have to alter the xbmc mythtv script or anything?
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> nope, just downloaded and ran
[02:35] <tgm4883_laptop> smb is the official way i believe
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> though it didn't want to work
[02:35] <tgm4883_laptop> sweet, i'll have to check it out
[02:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> I had to do the mysql oldpassword thing
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> then save the settings
[02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> before the test on the settings page would work
[02:36] <fenriz_> i'm using ccxstream for regular videos in xbmc
[02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> so i might be bugging you when I try to set it up on mine
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> you need to use that with the xebian method too actually
[02:36] <fenriz_> works great
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> heh, feel free
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> I hacked myself an xbox usb cable too
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> usb keyboard is a savior while working on that stuff
[02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> heh, thats always fun
[02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> gives you plenty more options
[02:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya
[02:37] <tgm4883_laptop> arg
[02:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> I have an older usb HD that I might try to store roms on or something
[02:37] <tgm4883_laptop> now my mythbox is pretty unresponsive
[02:37] <tgm4883_laptop> :(
[02:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> if I don't find a better use hooking it up to my router
[02:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> unfortunate
[02:38] <rhpot1991_laptop> it 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 ram
[02:38] <tgm4883_laptop> well, you could add ram
[02:38] <tgm4883_laptop> but it's a serious PITA
[02:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya I'm not too good with a soldering iron, was hard enough making this usb cable
[02:39] <tgm4883_laptop> f, whats the deal with this thing now :(
[02:39] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, just install glade-3
[02:39] <superm1> and you are set
[02:39] <superm1> dont need much more than that
[02:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> on what?
[02:39] <superm1> for doing pyGTK development
[02:40] <superm1> you can write the gui in glade-3
[02:40] <superm1> and then the python backend in your favorite editor
[02:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah ok
[02:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> I don't know python either, so I might see what kind of perl gtk stuff there is out there
[02:40] <superm1> yeah its all the same basic stuff
[02:40] <superm1> there is a perl gtk one too
[02:41] <tgm4883_laptop> man, i've had to reisub twice in 5 min
[02:41] <rhpot1991_laptop> I did something cool with my router last night, configured it to boot from usb and then purposely broke the OS
[02:41] <rhpot1991_laptop> unplugged the usb rebooted and it booted from the flash then
[02:42] <rhpot1991_laptop> openwrt gets very mad when you upgrade the whole system and it runs out of space
[02:43] <superm1> yeah it does
[02:43] <superm1> i've fsck'ed my wr850g several times because of that
[02:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> I managed to do that the other night without knowing it was a problem, lost internet to everything but the router
[02:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> was a pain to download a new flash without any access
[02:45] <rhpot1991_laptop> booting from usb is cool though, then I have a failsafe when I break things in the AM
[02:46] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[02:46] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm not exactly sure that lirc is starting anymore
[02:49] <superm1> tgm4883_laptop, well check if the modules load
[02:49] <superm1> and if the daemon is running
[03:03] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, it hangs when i try to restart lir
[03:03] <tgm4883_laptop> c
[03:09] <superm1> tgm4883,
[03:09] <superm1> yeah thats the kernel panic
[03:09] <superm1> turn on gutsy-proposed
[03:09] <tgm4883> ah
[03:09] <superm1> and see if you get an update to linux-ubuntu-modules
[03:10] <superm1> i think its been added there
[03:21] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, yep, theres an update to that.  I'll grab it and hope it works
[03:34] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, i think im making progress.  At least now im getting unknown remote "blaster"
[03:36] <tgm4883_laptop> is /etc/lirc/lircd.conf the wrong place to put the blaster codes?
[03:37] <superm1> that i'm not sure
[03:38] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[03:38] <tgm4883_laptop> i followed the transmitting part of
[03:38] <tgm4883_laptop> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Gutsy?highlight=%28lirc%29#head-544e05ebce68b53795c3d8c5963c444a778a8d68
[03:39] <DarWin_desktop> does 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).
[03:41] <Aquahallic> evenin' folks
[03:42] <Aquahallic> can someone tell me where that lock file is that you have to delete if you hang a frontend in the middle of watching livetv
[03:42]  * Aquahallic can't remember where the file is to save his LIFE!
[03:43] <superm1> just restart mythbackend?
[03:43] <Aquahallic> you could
[03:43] <superm1> DarWin_desktop, not that i've heard
[03:43] <Aquahallic> but there's a lock file somewhere
[03:43] <superm1> yeah tgm4883 once you should be set
[03:44] <superm1> Aquahallic, well this i wasn't aware
[03:44] <superm1> because it comes down to the backend keeping the tuner open
[03:44] <superm1> not a lock file  i thought
[03:44] <Aquahallic> right... and there's a file you can delete that releases it
[03:44] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, still not getting anything.  possibly related, irw doesn't display anything when i push remote buttons either
[03:44] <Aquahallic> without having to reboot the entire backend
[03:45] <superm1> Aquahallic, well i'd say poke around in your recordings directory
[03:45] <superm1> if anything
[03:45] <superm1> tgm4883, broken lircd.conf perhaps?
[03:45] <Aquahallic> yeah.. it's not there
[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, perhaps
[03:45] <superm1> did you mix and match a few remotes by accident
[03:45] <Aquahallic> I used to know where it was but I'll be #%^& if I can remember where now
[03:45] <superm1> Aquahallic, /var/run, /var/log?
[03:45] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, well, i started out using the mceusb2 remote, but just today changed it to the hauppauge remote by using MCC
[03:46] <Aquahallic> no... it's a lock file somewhere
[03:46] <superm1> Aquahallic, well there aren't many areas that have those permissions (mythtv:mythtv)
[03:46] <superm1> i just listed the 3 that i was aware of
[03:46] <superm1> /home/mythtv/.mythtv would be the last place i would suppose that a lock file might get put
[03:47] <tgm4883_laptop> superm1, there are 5 or 6 remotes listed in my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file
[03:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> this glade is strange
[03:48] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, its not strange.  you're strange :)
[03:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> heh, I could be
[03:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> doesn't want to let me move anything
[03:49] <superm1> oh you have to cut/copy/paste things
[03:49] <superm1> you can't just "move" them
[03:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> not sure if I am missing a parent container or something
[03:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> like its tossing a txt container right in the middle of the entire thing
[03:49] <superm1> you'll learn about idiosyncrasies of it as you use it
[03:49] <superm1> you do need to put in hbox'es or vbox'es
[03:49] <superm1> or alignments to make things fit
[03:50] <superm1> grab the mcc sources and you can see how some of the things that i put together are laid out
[03:56] <rhpot1991_laptop> hmmm, opened up mythbuntu_control_centre.glade
[03:56] <rhpot1991_laptop> but it never shows me anything in the center area
[03:56] <superm1> yeah
[03:56] <superm1> double click on the right
[03:56] <superm1> it will open up the page
[03:57] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah ok
[03:57] <superm1> that confused me too the first time
[04:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> this make more sense if I think of it as an xml document
[04:45] <hansoffate> hi, anyone here
[04:45] <hansoffate> Recording directory, /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/recordings, is not writable by www-data .
[04:46] <hansoffate> Please add www-data to mythtv group in /etc/group and make sure that the store directory
[04:46] <hansoffate> is writable by www-data - ie chmod 775 MYTHTV_STORE .
[04:46] <hansoffate> how would i do that?
[05:01] <pdragon> can you remote in via SSH or VNC?
[05:02] <hansoffate> yea
[05:02] <pdragon> which one?
[05:02] <hansoffate> im trying to get the streaming to ipod touch to work
[05:02] <hansoffate> both
[05:02] <hansoffate> http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone
[05:02] <hansoffate> im at home trying to get this to work, and i think i got most of it working except permissions
[05:03] <pdragon> VNC in and go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[05:03] <hansoffate> k
[05:03] <pdragon> go to Manage Groups
[05:04] <hansoffate> done
[05:04] <pdragon> find the mythtv group
[05:04] <pdragon> go to Properties
[05:04] <hansoffate> k
[05:04] <pdragon> oh... hmm... can you see the www-data user there?
[05:04] <hansoffate> no
[05:04] <hansoffate> just root and my user
[05:04] <pdragon> alright... will have to do it the old fashioned way
[05:04] <pdragon> go to a terminal
[05:05] <hansoffate> k through ssh now
[05:05] <pdragon> open up /etc/groups in your favorite terminal editor
[05:05] <hansoffate> k
[05:05] <hansoffate> i added www-data to mythtv already
[05:05] <pdragon> oooh
[05:06] <hansoffate> idk what else to do
[05:06] <pdragon> tried restarting then?
[05:07] <hansoffate> no lol brb
[05:07] <pdragon> shouldn't have to... but i dunno
[05:07] <pdragon> might work
[05:17] <hansoffate> pdragon back
[05:17] <pdragon> any luck?
[05:17] <hansoffate> stupid updates require 7.10 disc to be in - so it booted to the CD
[05:17] <hansoffate> i just restarted and took the CD out
[05:17] <pdragon> oh... you can fix that pretty easy
[05:17] <hansoffate> ?
[05:17] <hansoffate> how?
[05:17] <pdragon> if you want to
[05:18] <pdragon> ssh in
[05:18] <hansoffate> k
[05:18] <pdragon> edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:19] <pdragon> put a # before the line with the disk
[05:19] <pdragon> er.. cd-rom source
[05:19] <pdragon> then type - sudo apt-get update
[05:19] <hansoffate> #deb cdrom:[Mythbuntu 7.10 - i386 (071021)]/ gutsy main restricted universe
[05:19] <hansoffate> like that?
[05:19] <pdragon> yep
[05:20] <hansoffate> k sweet
[05:20] <pdragon> next time you try to install something, should get it from online
[05:20] <hansoffate> well, it looks like it may be working
[05:20] <hansoffate> Converting file, should be done in about the length of the show ...
[05:20] <hansoffate> close window
[05:21] <hansoffate> thanks for the help
[05:21] <pdragon> sure
[05:21] <hansoffate> i wonder how to play it, once its encoded
[05:21] <pdragon> there was probably something else you could've done instead of restarting
[05:21] <pdragon> usually is with linux
[05:21] <pdragon> but, sometimes the old reboot is easier than fiddling with things :)
[05:22] <hansoffate> yea
[05:22] <hansoffate> whats the default directory it restores recordings?
[05:22] <hansoffate> i forgot to point my expire.pl script to the right directory
[05:22] <pdragon> um... can't remember
[05:22] <pdragon> i have my default record directory set to something else
[05:30] <hansoffate> pdragon how do i see a list of the running processes?
[05:30] <hansoffate> i wnt to see if the computer is actually transcoding
[05:30] <pdragon> ps -A
[05:30] <pdragon> or
[05:30] <pdragon> top
[05:31] <pdragon> top is a real-time monitor
[05:31] <pdragon> hit 'q' to get out of it
[05:31] <hansoffate> hmm
[05:31] <hansoffate> it looks like nothing is running
[05:32] <pdragon> hmm... not sure. i haven't done any transcoding stuff myself
[05:32] <pdragon> so, might have to wait for someone else
[05:35] <hansoffate> k
[05:35] <hansoffate> im having trouble figuring out how to play it once its transcoded
[05:35] <hansoffate> or how to tell if its transcoding
[05:35] <hansoffate> oh well, i'll wait like an hour and see if anything has changed
[05:36] <hansoffate> thanks for the help pdragon
[05:36] <hansoffate> im going to do some work
[05:36] <superm1_> there is a way to check the status from within mythfrontend
[05:36] <superm1_> or mythweb's status page
[05:37] <pdragon> there's the guy that knows!
[05:37] <pdragon> :)
[05:37] <hansoffate> superm1_ i am trying to follow this tutorial: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone
[05:38] <superm1_> ah
[05:38] <hansoffate> i figure if its mp4, i could stream it to VLC at work aswell
[05:38] <hansoffate> as well as an ipot and iphone
[05:38] <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] <hansoffate> of which i don't have
[05:38] <hansoffate> k
[05:38] <hansoffate> so far, i think its working following it step by step
[05:39] <hansoffate> i clicked the newly created "ENCODE" link in my Mythweb "Recorded Programs" and it said its recording now
[05:39] <hansoffate> it 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 encoded
[05:39] <hansoffate> will the link change or something... but really, i can just wait for it, there is no reason to waste your time
[05:40] <superm1_> i'm really not too sure anyhow :)
[05:41] <hansoffate> k, i'll report back if it works and I can easily stream content
[05:43] <hansoffate> hmm, didn't seem to start the transcode
[05:44] <hansoffate> there was no mp4 file created so far
[06:00] <defendguin> i'm looking for some assistance with mkiconmap.pl   i installed the xmltv packages but i don't have this perl script
[06:01] <superm1_> look around /usr/share/mythtv-backend/contrib
[06:01] <superm1_> or so
[06:15] <defendguin> i don't have a mythtv-backend dir
[06:15] <defendguin>   /usr/share/mythtv  exists
[06:16] <defendguin> hows it going mario?
[06:18] <superm1_> alright
[06:18] <superm1_> try /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib
[06:20] <defendguin> mkiconmap.pl.gz
[06:20] <superm1_> yeah you might have to extract it
[06:21] <defendguin> says my postal code is invalid
[06:21] <superm1_> well move to a real place ! :)
[06:21] <defendguin> lol
[06:21] <superm1_> you might need to grab the updated one from svn.mythtv.org then
[06:28] <defendguin> hmmm
[06:29] <defendguin> don't think its gonna work
[06:29] <defendguin> http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/icons/master_iconmap/README   got the new perl script from here
[06:29] <defendguin> doesn't work
[06:29] <defendguin> Bareword found where operator expected at channel_icons.pl line 9, near "/trunk/mythtv"
[06:29] <defendguin>         (Missing operator before ythtv?)
[06:29] <defendguin> syntax error at channel_icons.pl line 8, near "<"
[06:29] <defendguin> Unrecognized character \xE2 at channel_icons.pl line 9.
[06:30] <superm1_> yuck
[06:42] <defendguin> eh this sucks
[06:42] <defendguin> superm1_: do you have channel icons?
[06:43] <hansoffate_> pdragon:  you here still?
[06:43] <superm1_> no i never bothered with it
[06:43] <hansoffate_> i got a question about symlinks
[06:44] <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)
[06:45] <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)
[06:47] <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 slashes
[06:47] <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 works
[06:47] <superm1_> directory in the data directory already exists
[06:47] <hansoffate_> i see
[06:48] <hansoffate_> the data directory already exists
[06:48] <hansoffate_> and the "music directory already exists
[06:49] <superm1_> well you need to get rid of that directory
[06:49] <superm1_> you want it to be a symlink instead
[06:50] <hansoffate_> oh
[06:51] <hansoffate_> so what should the command be?
[06:51] <hansoffate_> ln -s /share/Musik/ /var/www/mythweb/data/share/   again? but with /share/ deleted
[06:51] <superm1_> no
[06:52] <superm1_> i would think it should be something like
[06:52] <superm1_> ln -s /share/Musik/ /var/www/mythweb/data/music
[06:52] <superm1_> but with music deleted
[06:53] <hansoffate_> yup, that did it
[06:53] <hansoffate_> thanks
[06:53] <hansoffate_> so with no trailing / ... it makes that folder and puts the symlink there?
[06:53] <superm1_> yeah
[06:54] <hansoffate_> awesome, thanks for the help
[06:54] <hansoffate_> totally worked
[06:54] <hansoffate_> so far, that transcode job looked like it never ran
[06:54] <hansoffate_> i don't think it worked
[06:58] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Channel_icons use the master_icons, its the new way to do icons
[06:59] <blkorpheus> I got theicons
[06:59] <blkorpheus> that was cool
[06:59] <blkorpheus> but now an issue seemingly from now where
[06:59] <blkorpheus> nowhere
[07:00] <blkorpheus> myth no longer uses the whole screen
[07:00] <blkorpheus> video is bunched in the middle
[07:00] <blkorpheus> any ideas why this has happened?
[07:00] <blkorpheus> is it my xorg?
[07:00] <hansoffate_> i still haven't gotten channel i cons
[07:03] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_: did you enable transcoding on the backend?
[07:04] <defendguin> rhpot1991_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 check
[07:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: 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 0.20.2
[07:05] <defendguin> i've looked at this page before i don't think it does
[07:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1_: my ipod script uses that and it runs on the gutsy + mythtv
[07:05] <hansoffate_> oh yea? i am trying to get this to work
[07:05] <hansoffate_> http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone
[07:06] <hansoffate_> so i can convert it to MP4 and perhaps be able to watch it at work or remotely
[07:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> I recall asking you about them on feisty long ago, but its been fine for a while
[07:06] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: i have "allow Transcoding jobs" checked
[07:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_ you need to enable transcoding on a box in mythtv-setup, general about the 4th or 5th tab in
[07:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> check your mythtv logs then
[07:07] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: where are they ... sorry
[07:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_ 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 mythtv
[07:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> /var/logs/mythtv/
[07:08]  * rhpot1991_laptop just woke up, and its hard to read, so I may be a little slow responding
[07:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1_: the perl bindings have been there for a while, you just need to tell mythtv to have them when you compile
[07:11] <defendguin> perl channel_icons.pl --find-missing --rescan --icon-dir icons
[07:11] <defendguin> Can't locate MythTV.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at channel_icons.pl line 27.
[07:11] <defendguin> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at channel_icons.pl line 27.
[07:11] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya you don't have the
[07:12] <rhpot1991_laptop>  perl bindings
[07:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> upgrade to gutsy
[07:12] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: i tried just manualling running the script from the frontend
[07:12] <hansoffate_> and not the mythweb interface, and the logs dont' say anything
[07:12] <defendguin> rhpot1991 not an option
[07:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> where can you run a user job from mythweb?
[07:12] <defendguin> i'm not gonna upgrade this box every 6 months
[07:13] <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 2008
[07:13] <hansoffate_> Usage: /usr/local/bin/mythipod.sh directory file
[07:13] <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_laptop> or does the script do something else
[07:13] <hansoffate_> so at least its trying to run
[07:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> what 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 properly
[07:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> and how are you making user jobs run from within mythweb?
[07:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah
[07:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya I thought there wasn't anything there out of the box
[07:16] <hansoffate_> http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone
[07:16] <hansoffate_> i don't know how to do it by hand
[07:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> if you go into your recordings and hit the right arrow
[07:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> a menu will pop up for the recording
[07:16] <hansoffate_> k
[07:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> then there is a jobs option, where user jobs are listed
[07:17] <hansoffate_> yea, i tried running it from there and i got that output in the logs
[07:17] <hansoffate_> the "Mythipod" job
[07:17] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_ is the streaming that important?  or do you just want them on your ipod?
[07:18] <hansoffate_> well this just converts them to mp4, which i could play on the ipod, or stream
[07:18] <hansoffate_> so i guess this job uses libfaac, but when i try to apt-get install libfaac    nothing shows up
[07:19] <hansoffate_> E: Couldn't find package libfaac
[07:19] <rhpot1991_laptop> its built into ffmpeg
[07:19] <rhpot1991_laptop> though on ubuntu its just -acodec aac
[07:20] <rhpot1991_laptop> I can give you my script if you want to mess around with it
[07:20] <hansoffate_> k
[07:20] <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"
[07:24] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://www.baablogic.net/mythexport.pl
[07:25] <rhpot1991_laptop> copy that to /usr/local/bin
[07:25] <rhpot1991_laptop> then sudo chmod +x mythexport.pl
[07:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> go get atomicparsley: http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/
[07:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> the debian one works well there
[07:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/atomicparsley/AtomicParsley-debian-0.9.0.zip?modtime=1159292337&big_mirror=0
[07:27] <rhpot1991_laptop> let me know when you are caught up
[07:27] <defendguin> what 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 remote
[07:28] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: I use xine for dvd/mythvideo
[07:28] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: what does this convert the file to? mp4?
[07:28] <defendguin> does xine support dvd menus well?
[07:29] <rhpot1991_laptop> mp4 or h264
[07:30] <rhpot1991_laptop> the mp4 can be in xvid or mpeg4 (which doesn't make sense cause mpeg4 is just a container but oh well)
[07:30] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: well enough that I haven't noticed any problems
[07:31] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop:  k i got the zip
[07:31] <rhpot1991_laptop> extract that then inside there is an execuctable 'AtomicParsley'
[07:31] <defendguin> what command do you use in myth for playing a dvd
[07:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> copy that to /usr/local/bin and chmod +x it
[07:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythVideo#Xine_Configuration
[07:32] <rhpot1991_laptop> is what I used
[07:32] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: extract?
[07:32] <hansoffate_> what should i use
[07:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine actually
[07:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_: try unzip #zipfile#
[07:33] <defendguin> rhpot1991_laptop: i guess i have to set up something for lirc for xine
[07:33] <defendguin> for it to read the remote
[07:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> defendguin: my lirc already had it in there
[07:33] <defendguin> hmmm ok
[07:33] <rhpot1991_laptop> depends if you are lucky or not
[07:34] <defendguin> i'll give it a try
[07:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> though I don't like the buttons, never got around to changing them
[07:34] <hansoffate_> `didn't have unzip, im installing it now
[07:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> I meant to make a wiki entry on installing this today too, but then football and random stuff distracted me
[07:36] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: i see, seems pretty straightforward so far... if you know what you are doing
[07:36] <hansoffate_> ok ; caught up its copied and chmoded
[07:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> ok go ahead and make a director somewhere to hold your ipod exports
[07:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> directory
[07:37] <hansoffate_> i think the other script saved the mp4's in the same recordings directory asthe mpgs
[07:38] <hansoffate_> i think if i save them in the same place, i maybe able to stream them
[07:38] <hansoffate_> ive bene trying to read the code to figure out how this works
[07:38] <rhpot1991_laptop> I would make a seperate one till everything is working, then you can mess with combining
[07:39] <hansoffate_> k
[07:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> mine does a lot with tagging it with itunes data
[07:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> so when you drop it in it shows up in tv shows and has info in there
[07:40] <hansoffate_> k
[07:40] <hansoffate_> k
[07:40] <hansoffate_> i got /share/Temp as the directory
[07:41] <rhpot1991_laptop> just beware I do a mv $exportdir/*temp*.mp4 $newfilename near the end
[07:41] <rhpot1991_laptop> cause atomicparsley spits out a new file with temp in the name
[07:41] <hansoffate_> ok
[07:41] <rhpot1991_laptop> so if you have anything that might conflict in your recordings dir I would hate to see you lose data
[07:42] <rhpot1991_laptop> ok now you need to go setup a user job like you did for the other one
[07:42] <hansoffate_> don't i need to edit the mythexport.pl?
[07:42] <rhpot1991_laptop> here 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=mpeg4
[07:43] <rhpot1991_laptop> any of those can be changed for instance aspect can become 16x9
[07:43] <rhpot1991_laptop> export_codec can be xvid/mpeg4/h264
[07:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> you shouldn't need to, it takes everything from the cli
[07:44] <rhpot1991_laptop> there are some defaults in there, but as long as you pass it something it will use that instead
[07:44] <hansoffate_> k
[07:45] <rhpot1991_laptop> feel 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 account
[07:45] <rhpot1991_laptop> or if you want to give me a ffmpeg line for some other device
[07:45] <defendguin> rhpot1991_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 now
[07:45] <hansoffate_> do i need to put /home/hansoffate/bin/mythexport.pl first?
[07:46] <rhpot1991_laptop> you should have actually put them into /usr/local/bin
[07:46] <rhpot1991_laptop>  /usr is a folder there
[07:46] <rhpot1991_laptop> once they are in there you only need to type the mythexport.pl and nothing before it
[07:46] <rhpot1991_laptop> same with atomicparsley
[07:47] <hansoffate_> k
[07:47] <rhpot1991_laptop> once you move them there, fire up a terminal and try to do 'mythexport.pl'
[07:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> and it should fire you usage info
[07:48] <hansoffate_> ok
[07:48] <hansoffate_> does it keep the file name the same?
[07:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> no
[07:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> it renames them to a readable format
[07:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> channel_show_episode_date.mp4
[07:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> something along the lines of that
[07:49] <hansoffate_> damnit, this isn't going to work with the other thing to beable to stream
[07:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> and trims them if its over x didgits
[07:49] <blkorpheus> video playing in narrow band
[07:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> you can modify that if you want
[07:50] <hansoffate_> see, this is how mythweb will be calling the .mp4 file
[07:50] <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_laptop> maybe I'll look into adding that as an option, to use the old names
[07:50] <hansoffate_> so im assuming, if the filename is preserved with just an added .mp4, this may be able to play the file
[07:51] <hansoffate_> or am i reading this incorrectly?
[07:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> basename is prob everything till the .
[07:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> then it adds .mp4 under that
[07:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> now is that trying to create them on the fly, or ahead of time?
[07:52] <hansoffate_> this is supposed to check if its filename.mp4, if not, instead of displaying "Watch", it displays "Encode"
[07:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> ah ok
[07:52] <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 show
[07:52] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya with mine you need to put them on your ipod yourself
[07:53] <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 VLC
[07:53] <rhpot1991_laptop> that depends on the speed of your box
[07:53] <hansoffate_> C2D with 2 gigs, should be able to handle it
[07:53] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya
[07:53] <rhpot1991_laptop> easily
[07:54] <rhpot1991_laptop> you can stream to vlc without reencoding
[07:54] <rhpot1991_laptop> though it depends on your bandwidth and all
[07:54] <hansoffate_> yea, but if this works, this would kill 2 birds with 1 stone
[07:54] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya
[07:55] <hansoffate_> k
[07:55] <hansoffate_> i just began the job
[07:55] <rhpot1991_laptop> now you enabled the user job, same place where the enable transcoding it, right?
[07:56] <hansoffate_> Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/local/bin/mythexport.pl line 184.

[08:03] <rhpot1991_laptop> it looks like it started to create the mp4, but then when it went to tag it it wasn't there
[08:04] <hansoffate_> no
[08:04] <hansoffate_> nothing is in the /share/Temp folder
[08:04] <hansoffate_> permissions porblem?
[08:04] <hansoffate_> problem?
[08:04] <hansoffate_> chmod 77?
[08:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> you can try
[08:04] <hansoffate_> chmod 777?
[08:04] <defendguin> rhpot1991_laptop: i fixed the xine section of the .mythtv/lircrc if you want it
[08:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> if you throw a debug at the end of the script
[08:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> then it will show you the ffmpeg line it is going to run, instead of running it
[08:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> then you can run that yourself and see if there is a problem
[08:07] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: changing the permssions looked like it worked
[08:07] <hansoffate_> now, how do I make it retain the same filename?
[08:07] <rhpot1991_laptop> I have a better idea
[08:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> scroll down in the script where I do
[08:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> if ($exportdevice eq "ipod"
[08:08] <MythbuntuGuest52> hello all
[08:08] <hansoffate_> k
[08:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> take the ffmpeg lines in there, and play with the options in your other script till they work
[08:08] <rhpot1991_laptop> then you should be good over there
[08:08] <MythbuntuGuest52> I have search and search for an answer for this one
[08:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> since my script doesn't really do everything you need it to do
[08:09] <hansoffate_> how do you get the ffmpeg line it uses?
[08:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> just edit the script, and look in there
[08:10] <snakeman66> how do I solve the duplicate channel numbers for two providers in mysql or otherwise
[08:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> there are 2 vbr lines that are commented out, and one that it ran
[08:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> the vbr lines only work if you do '-vcoded xvid'
[08:10] <snakeman66> I found how vdr handles it but not mythtv
[08:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> they produce smaller files with not too much less quality
[08:11] <rhpot1991_laptop> I suspect your problem is that ubuntu ffmpeg is using different options, I had that problem when I first set mine up
[08:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> '-acodec aac' stands out as a difference
[08:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> snakeman66: you can modify channel info in mythweb, that might be your easiest bet
[08:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_ get what I am saying?
[08:13] <snakeman66> crap tried that but their is hundreds of channel numbers
[08:13] <snakeman66> their there sorry a little sleepy
[08:15] <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 problem
[08:15] <hansoffate_> is there anyway to kill the process going on now?
[08:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> which process?
[08:15] <rhpot1991_laptop> the one started by my script?
[08:15] <hansoffate_> the ffmpeg process runing to my /share/Temp folder, so I can try out the other job
[08:15] <hansoffate_> yea
[08:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> ps uax |grep ffmpeg
[08:16] <rhpot1991_laptop> then sudo kill the pid listed there
[08:17] <hansoffate_> thanks
[08:18] <rhpot1991_laptop> no problem
[08:18] <rhpot1991_laptop> let me know how it ends up working out for you
[08:18] <snakeman66> ok thanks neway guys
[08:21] <rhpot1991_laptop> hansoffate_ I'm off to bed, have a good night

[08:21] <rhpot1991_laptop> perms?
[08:21] <hansoffate_> rhpot1991_laptop: oh ok, thanks, i think i will do the same.   I have no idea what to do
[08:21] <hansoffate_> hmm good idea
[08:22] <hansoffate_> night rhpot1991_laptop, thanks for the help
[08:23] <rhpot1991_laptop> check persms, if that isn't helping then do something like my script does where you print out the ffmpeg line
[08:23] <rhpot1991_laptop> can just throw a print in front of it
[08:23] <rhpot1991_laptop> print "string"; is the syntax
[08:24] <rhpot1991_laptop> and then run the ffmpeg line by hand and see if it gives you anything else
[08:24] <rhpot1991_laptop> night
[13:52] <Shred00> bonjour mon amis.
[13:52] <Shred00> i 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] <Shred00> Forbidden
[13:52] <Shred00> You don't have permission to access /mythbuntu/ubuntu/ on this server.
[13:52] <Shred00> there shouldn't be any reason to keep a repository from being browsed
[13:53] <Shred00> i notice also that the uk mirror is browsable.  now i can see why i am getting 404 errors for Packages.bz2.  :-)
[15:19] <Daviey> Shred00: do you want me to make it non-browsable?
[15:21] <Shred00> Daviey: 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 one
[15:42] <blkorpheus> man this channel is dead
[15:43] <blkorpheus> my video after yesterday, is now in a narrow vertical band
[15:43] <blkorpheus> no system changes, myth overscan does not work
[15:43] <blkorpheus> shot in the dark for help:(
[16:10] <MythbuntuGuest16> Can some one walk me through mounting a samba share into myth video folder?
[16:23] <blkorpheus> fixed thx
[16:48] <MythbuntuGuest16> could some one walk me through mounting a samba share to my myth video folder?
[16:56] <MythbuntuGuest16> I 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.
[17:11] <MythbuntuGuest46> My ff session just crashed so if any one answered my last question could you please repeat it?/
[17:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> MythbuntuGuest46: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131
[17:13] <rhpot1991_laptop> you should mount the share in fstab
[17:57] <MythbuntuGuest46> rhpot1991_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.
[17:59] <rhpot1991_laptop> use an ip address insead of desktop
[18:04] <MythbuntuGuest46> I changed desktop to the ip and I get the same error with sudo mount -a
[18:06] <slestak> i dropped some new mp3's on my nas server where i have mythmusic mounted, and they dont show up in the edit playlist dialog.  is there a refresh routine i need to run when i add content?
[18:07] <Faw> how do i increase the log verbose level in mythfrontend
[18:13] <MythbuntuGuest46> the error is " mounting cifs uRL not implemented yet. Attempt to mount 192.168.1.129/video no ip specified and host name not found
[18:14] <rhpot1991_laptop> are you sure the share works?

[18:16] <MythbuntuGuest46> the share I can access through this machine on ff but but not through the ff on the media center
[18:19] <Dr_willis> put the server name/ip in the hosts file - may help.
[18:20] <Dr_willis> whats the exact fstab/mount line you are using also? May be a simple typo.
[18:22] <rhpot1991_laptop> I have heard ciifs can be a pain with perms too
[18:30] <Dr_willis> I tend to use the  smbfuse tool now a days.
[18:36] <MythbuntuGuest46> the mount point is smb://192.168.1.129/videos
[18:36] <MythbuntuGuest46> what is smbfuse
[18:37] <Dr_willis> !info smbfuse
[18:37] <ubotu> Package smbfuse does not exist in gutsy
[18:37] <Dr_willis> !info fusesmb

[18:37] <Dr_willis> i alwyas get it backwardsd.
[18:37] <Dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb
[18:38] <Dr_willis> I even wrote a wiki page for it.
[18:38] <Dr_willis> and i STILL get it backwards.
[18:39] <Dr_willis> you are NOT using the 'smb://' in the mount point/command are you?
[18:49] <MythbuntuGuest46> yes I was.
[18:50] <MythbuntuGuest46> let me see if that does it
[18:50] <Dr_willis> thats why i asked for the 'exact' line you were using. :)
[18:59] <MythbuntuGuest46> thanks a bunch.
[19:00] <MythbuntuGuest46> now my next project is to get the power botton on my mce remote to suspend/unsuspend the media center.
[19:00] <Dr_willis> smb:// type addresses are uysed by the file managers, they have samba browsing features.
[19:00] <Dr_willis> I alwyas got mine on and recording. :) so its got 4+ month uptimes
[19:02] <MythbuntuGuest46> I would just like to be able to save on power consumption. I record much with it.
[19:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> waking it for recordings might be a pain
[19:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> I have heard bad things about messing with WoL
[19:09] <MythbuntuGuest46> I don't schedule and recordings on this machine. so that won't be an issue.
[21:45] <Schmee> trying to get mythtv working on my gutsy box - fails the sql connect, but i've checked all my password set up stuff... thoughts?
[22:59] <superm1> famicon, foxxbuntu meet
[23:00] <foxxbuntu> famicon, ping
[23:10] <famicon> bliep
[23:10] <famicon> heya all
[23:10] <famicon> sup foxbuntu
[23:22] <foxxbuntu> famicon, superm1 tells me you needed something from me?
[23:22] <famicon> eya
[23:22] <famicon> yeah i heard you were thinking of selling mythbuntu PVRs
[23:41] <alexvd> i think i found a bug in mythweb for some reason when i use mythweb to schedule i have to hit the update recording sessions twice in order for it to apply the changes. the first time it doesnt work
[23:41] <alexvd> I didnt have this issue in other versions of mythtv or mythweb.  just on mythbuntu
[23:43] <foxxbuntu> famicon, yes. I am in the process of a business startup venture to do just that
[23:44] <famicon> ah\
[23:44] <famicon> well
[23:44] <famicon> I am too
[23:44] <famicon> and im pretty mcuh ready to ship them out
[23:44] <famicon> buuut
[23:44] <famicon> i need people to buy them
[23:44] <famicon> really
[23:44] <foxxbuntu> thus is the big prob
[23:44] <foxxbuntu> lol
[23:45] <foxxbuntu> I am still in the R&D phase deciding exactly how I want to do things
[23:45] <foxxbuntu> I am also going to be doing Home Automation
[23:46] <foxxbuntu> famicon, I will be building my own
[23:46] <famicon> well
[23:46] <famicon> true
[23:46] <famicon> but since we are both on different continents i doubt we will be competing against each other
[23:47] <famicon> so what i was wondering is if you wanted to work to gether with me
[23:47] <foxxbuntu> might not be a bad idea
[23:47] <foxxbuntu> could draw up a no compete kind of thing between us before hand
[23:48] <famicon> eh
[23:48] <famicon> i dont see why not
[23:48] <alexvd> foxbuntu: what kind of home automation?
[23:49] <foxxbuntu> alexvd, everything evenuntaly
[23:49] <alexvd> are you in the usa?
[23:49] <foxxbuntu> security systems, HVAC lighting audio
[23:50] <foxxbuntu> alexvd, yes
[23:50] <alexvd> zigbee zwave?
[23:50] <alexvd> based on misterhouse or something else
[23:50] <solarbaby> I wanna setup all my light bulbs on cat 6, and some lasers, and my fly swatter
[23:51] <foxxbuntu> alexvd, not sure yet...I still need to buy some hardware and eval whats out there to decide
[23:51] <solarbaby> I need more green lasers pointed at the neighbors houses
[23:51] <foxxbuntu> my main concern is the PVR's right now
[23:51] <foxxbuntu> solarbaby, sounds like a trip to the police station to me
[23:52] <alexvd> solarbaby: mythtv is a open source project and thus alot of people who run mythtv look at other projects.
[23:52] <solarbaby> alexvd: Im just having fun with ideas here :)
[23:52] <famicon> solarbaby
[23:53] <famicon> thats dangerous
[23:53] <solarbaby> heheh
[23:53] <foxxbuntu> famicon, do you have a website?
[23:53] <famicon> you could blind your neighbours
[23:53] <famicon> you should point it at the sky instead !
[23:53] <famicon> :P
[23:53] <solarbaby> hahaha
[23:53] <famicon> foxxbuntu www.indivision.nl
[23:53] <solarbaby> get the police helecopters..  they'd show up in 20 minutes
[23:54] <solarbaby> come to think of it.. i've never seen a aircraft fly over my house
[23:54] <solarbaby> thats kind of weird
[23:54] <alexvd> they dont usually fly over cardboard boxes in sewers
[23:54] <solarbaby> I dont live very far away from Area 51..  Im in a little town called Pahrump.. bout an hour and a half away from las vegas
[23:54] <foxbuntu> famicon, cool
[23:55] <solarbaby> alexvd: did I piss you off?
[23:55] <alexvd> just having fun dude
[23:55] <alexvd> l8r
[23:55] <solarbaby> ;)
[23:56] <solarbaby> alexvd must be some kind of wiz kid genius, cause he's a little off his rocker
[23:56] <foxbuntu> solarbaby, I am way off my rocker and I am not some wiz kid
[23:56] <foxbuntu> lol
[23:57] <solarbaby> foxbuntu: I was just being generious at the same time stating my honest opinion ;)
[23:57] <foxbuntu> solarbaby, I was just stating the obvious =P
[23:57] <solarbaby> generous.. hmm.. i need a dictionary
[23:57] <solarbaby> I wonder if they will ever create a dictionary pluggin for putty
[23:58] <foxbuntu> general perhaps is the word your looking for?
[23:59] <solarbaby> actually..  a dictionary pluggin for bitlbee would be all i need
[23:59] <foxbuntu> yes that too
[23:59] <solarbaby> ever see bitlbee?  its great
[23:59] <solarbaby> i use it with irssi
