Davieyhttp://mirror.polorix.net/index.php <-- mirror REALLY out of date, don't use it!01:23
poliwhat' s the latest 7.10 release date?01:37
lime4x4is wireless G fast enough for streaming video01:38
tgm4883lime4x4, not HD01:40
tgm4883poli, 7.10 has been released01:40
politgm4883: I know. Someone said mirror.polorix is outdated, so the question is what is the latest 7.10 release (there are 2 distinct there)01:41
tgm4883poli, are you looking to d/l it?  Are you ok with torrents?01:41
politgm4883: torrents are fine01:41
tgm4883sec01:42
tgm4883The Polorix site does NOT have a release version of Mythbuntu.  Those are alpha builds.  Do NOT use those01:43
tgm4883poli, http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-search.php?search=mythbuntu01:43
=== tgm4883 changed the topic of #ubuntu-mythtv to: Welcome to #ubuntu-mythtv :: Mythbuntu 7.10 Released :: See our website at http://www.mythbuntu.org :: Paste logs @ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com :: See http://www.mythbuntu.org/support for support information. We know the website is currently down and we are working on it. If you are looking for the ISO's, grab the torrents here http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-search.php?search=mythbuntu
Davieytgm4883: or direct linky's to iso's?01:45
lime4x4okay then i guess it's wireless N now just to find which ones work in linux01:46
politgm4883: thanks,  connecting to the swarm right now01:48
polinow does anyone know a seller of the old (the one with remote control and IR blaster) PVR-150 that ships outside the US? amazon just refused my order :(01:49
tgm4883newegg?01:49
* tgm4883 shrugs01:49
polihttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116631 is this the one with remote and IR BLaster?01:52
polihm looks like I have to buy the remote ith a combo option... that would be much more expensive than the http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-WinTV-PVR-150-Bundle-Tuner-Personal-Recorder/dp/B000B9P7E4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200621006&sr=8-301:55
poliNewegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico. :(02:01
Tar1they have other sites02:17
Tar1I know they have an australian site02:17
rhpot1991poli: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681511662503:19

confuzedHELP!!!  I just did an update today and lost all of my scheduled recordings.  I can still see the recording priorities, and all of that, but for some reason it's not scheduling recordings at all!04:21
confuzedI missed an episode of Grey's Anatomy... the wife is pissed04:24
superm1alternatively for anyone looking for ISOs, see cdimages.mythbuntu.org04:57
rsp2kcan anyone get to mythbuntu.org? I can't. I'm not having trouble browsing any other sites.09:15
rsp2kdoh.09:15
rsp2kRTFT... sorry09:15
rsp2kNow for my real question: I want to use Linux Software RAID on my mythbuntu box. the installer doesn't seem to support it, so I used a ubuntu server disk, did the install and then did "apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop" it installed most, but not all of the packages I would get from a mythbuntu install cd. What other packages do I need to install, is there a list somewhere?09:18
rsp2kcan I diff the list of stock packages on the server cd with the list of packages on the mythbuntu cd?09:19
rsp2kif so, where is this list? Thank in advance09:19
blkorpheusrsp2k, a list? How about searching synaptic for "myth"?10:35
blkorpheusI installed mythtv from synaptic, I am not "missing" anything10:35
mjollnirAny experts in the house up for some MythTV questions?19:03
rhpot1991_laptop!ask19:07
ubotuPlease don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)19:07
mjollnirjust wanted to check if anybody was around or not :)19:07
rhpot1991_laptopask your question and if someone knows they will answer, you run the risk of people not paying attention if you don't ask19:08
mjollnirOK, here goes: I am a MythTV newb so be gentle with me...19:08
mjollnirIt seems like some recorded files are not compressed. How do I know if compression is working or not?19:09
mjollnirOr in other words, if it is not working and I get a 4GB file for 1hr, how do I fix it?19:09
rhpot1991_laptophow are you trying to compress?19:10
mjollnirI check the "auto-transcode" option19:12
rhpot1991_laptopdid you set up a transcoding profile?19:12
rhpot1991_laptopand did you enable transcoding on the backend? ( I am assuming you only have one backend?)19:13
mjollnirI only got one backend. I am double checking the profile...19:13
mjollnirI am getting lost in the backend menus. Where would I enable that exactly?19:15
rhpot1991_laptopmythtv-setup19:15
rhpot1991_laptopgeneral19:15
rhpot1991_laptopthen about 4 or 5 in19:15
rhpot1991_laptopthere is a checkbox that says "enable trancoding"19:15
rhpot1991_laptopor something like that19:16
mjollnirAh, thanks. I got "Allow Transcoding jobs" enabled.19:17
rhpot1991_laptopyep19:17
mjollnirJust going to double check the profile...19:19
mjollnirHmmm. My system is not really responding. Top show 3 "mythtranscode" processes up and running...19:19
rhpot1991_laptopthat will eat cpu thats for sure19:20
mjollnirI haven't recorded anything. I assume that this is recording compression going on?19:20
rhpot1991_laptopyep19:21
rhpot1991_laptopdunno why there are 3 though19:21
rhpot1991_laptopmy system normally only lets one job run per backend at a time19:21
rhpot1991_laptopgo under info center19:21
rhpot1991_laptopand system19:21
rhpot1991_laptopand look at the job queue in there19:21
mjollnirthe frontend isn't responding. Any way I can check the queue on the webpages?19:22
rhpot1991_laptopyou have mythweb installed?19:22
rhpot1991_laptopon the status screen it shows the queue19:23
mjollnirLooks like it. Isn't mythweb installed by default on mythbuntu?19:24
mjollnirAnyway, I got this:19:24
mjollnirMon 1/14 8:59 PM - Cityakuten - Transcode19:24
rhpot1991_laptopI didn't think it was a default install, not certain though19:24
rhpot1991_laptopjust one?19:24
mjollnirso I guess it is busy but I can't really explain the three processes...19:24
mjollniryep.19:24
mjollnirI also got this:19:24
mjollnirMon 1/14 8:59 PM - Cityakuten - Flag Commercials19:24
rhpot1991_laptopstrange, I'd think there shouldn't be 3 mythtranscodes running19:24
mjollnirBut that isn't compression though.19:24
rhpot1991_laptopthat runninng now too?19:24
rhpot1991_laptopno, but it eats cpu19:25
mjollnir 6357 mythtv    39  17 99052  38m  13m R 33.9  7.7   2:35.45 mythtranscode19:25
mjollnir 5680 mythtv    39  17 98068  24m 9.8m R 33.2  4.9  15:12.24 mythtranscode19:25
mjollnir 6453 mythtv    39  17 99048  38m  13m R 31.9  7.7   2:04.64 mythtranscode19:25
rhpot1991_laptopif you want your system back, you can kill them all and launch the transcoding yourself19:25
mjollnirYou mean from the command line?19:25
rhpot1991_laptopor you can just wait and see if it cleans itself up if you don't need the system for anything19:25
rhpot1991_laptopif you go Media Library -> Watch Recordings19:26
rhpot1991_laptopthen job options19:26
rhpot1991_laptopyou can start a transcoding from in there19:26
mjollnirOK. I am learning lots :)19:26
mjollnirI also got a question about wireless NIC in my box. When I boot the box, everything looks normal but wireless isn't working19:27
mjollnirWhen I do "ifdown wlan0" followed by "ifup wlan0", everything works fine.19:28
mjollnirDoes anybody have a clue why it isn't being initialized properly at boot?19:28
mjollnirHmmm. My mythtranscode processes are now down to 2...19:30

mckimAre there any admins of uk.cdimages.mythbuntu.org around?20:07
Davieyhi20:08
Davieymckim: It's down, isn't it >:/20:09
mckimI've been getting connection timeouts on our rsync :-(20:09
Davieyyeah, the server has been down20:10
Davieymckim: There won't be any updates coming out for at least the next couple of weeks.. is it ok just to wait for a fix?20:10
Davieyor are you getting mailed every few hrs?20:10
mckimDaviey: sure, that's fine.20:10
rhpot1991_laptopmjollnir: that config looks ok to me20:11
Davieymckim: the main website was also on that server - and died20:11
mckimDaviey: It's a daily sync, so the e-mails are not bothering me.20:11
Davieythats moved to a mirror - but no other mirrors are running rsync server AFAIK20:11
mjollnirrhpot1991_laptop: I know. I am not exactly new to Linux but I can't figure this one out :(20:11
mckimDaviey: we are running an rsyncd if you want to route through us.20:12
Davieythat could be an option!20:12
mckimie, have us pull from a different source, and then set us as the "master" mirror20:12
* Daviey doesn't deal with the DNS... thats bendailey :)20:12
mckimbut, otoh, if everybody has the release, it's not a big issue unless you need to push the new one.20:13
Davieyyeah, we won't start building iso's for a couple of weeks.. and even then they'll be alpha's with a limited testing audience.. so one mirror could handle that anyway20:15
mckimok20:15
mckimI just wanted to check in and find out what the status was.20:16
mjollnirI am using an analog TV tuner on my mythtv. If I record something, when does it transcode and flag commercials? Does it do it after recording the show or simultaneously?20:16
rhpot1991_laptopby default it does commercials after it records20:17
rhpot1991_laptopyou can change that to do it while it records20:17
rhpot1991_laptoptranscoding should happen after both of those IIRC20:17
mckimDaviey: feel free to ping me if you do end up needing an rsyncd host to push our the release.20:17
rhpot1991_laptopthe option to change that is on the page after the enable transcoding checkbox20:17
mjollnirrhpot1991_laptop: thanks. I'll check it!20:18
rhpot1991_laptopif you have a decent box I'd recommend doing comm flagging as it records instead of after20:18
rhpot1991_laptopfrees up your queue20:18
mjollnirGot an XP2200+ (1.8GHz). Not that great. I am thinking of getting a dual core setup...20:19
Davieymckim: thanks20:20
rhpot1991_laptopI do SD recording and commflagging at the same time on a 1900+20:22
rhpot1991_laptopyou shoudl be fine20:22
mjollnirSD?20:23
rhpot1991standard definition20:30
mjollnirAh, gotcha.20:31
mjollnirThanks for your help rhpot1991_laptop. I have definitely gained lots from this chat. I gotta go now but I will be back with questions on remotes :)20:32

dannyboy79 I get some channels in both HD and Analog. when I select a recording schedule for "record at any time on any channel" it's recording both shows. how can I fix this?23:47
dannyboy79does it have something to do with the callsign or something like that?23:47
AboveBrewDaviey: I'm getting some errors in my dmesg... and Myth doesn't find any channels when doing a channel scan23:48
DavieyAboveBrew: how did you get on?23:48
DavieyAboveBrew: pastebin the dmesg?23:48
AboveBrewDaviey: can i /msg you?23:48
dannyboy79i have mythweb installed (securely), can I edit the channels somehow to make those HD and analog channels only record one of them?23:48
DavieyAboveBrew: I'd rather keep it in the channel - that way someone else can join ib23:49
