| joecurlee | hi, i just found out mythtv logs are taking up 46gb of space... that's a lot. any way to reduce this? | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| superm1 | woah | 01:03 |
| superm1 | why? | 01:03 |
| joecurlee | that's a great question :) | 01:03 |
| superm1 | i mean with 46gb, is the meaning of life on line 55499353854? | 01:03 |
| joecurlee | lol | 01:03 |
| joecurlee | var/log/mythtv == 46.8gb | 01:04 |
| superm1 | well look whats in them' | 01:04 |
| joecurlee | var/log/mysql == 800mb+ | 01:04 |
| joecurlee | looking now | 01:04 |
| joecurlee | it's all backend logs | 01:05 |
| joecurlee | 717 items | 01:05 |
| joecurlee | sorry no | 01:05 |
| joecurlee | 17 items... all backend logs... all regular .log files | 01:05 |
| joecurlee | that equal 46gb... wtf?? | 01:06 |
| joecurlee | scratch that... there are some front end logs too... still though... 46gb | 01:06 |
| adaptr | what's the biggest individual file ? | 01:06 |
| joecurlee | there we go.. 2 of them are 20+gb | 01:06 |
| joecurlee | i wonder what that's all about... i'm assuming deleting them won't do any harm right? | 01:07 |
| superm1 | well look at them first? | 01:07 |
| superm1 | before you delte them | 01:07 |
| joecurlee | yea.... trying that now with vim... might have been a bad idea | 01:08 |
| joecurlee | it's having a bit of a time opening one of them | 01:08 |
| superm1 | tail it instead | 01:08 |
| superm1 | tail -n 5000 or so | 01:08 |
| adaptr | also not very useful.. tail -n 100 is plenty to see what's in it | 01:08 |
| joecurlee | i'm seeing lots of stuff in here... lots of "opened codec" and info about streaming | 01:09 |
| adaptr | it's just your 3 year history of watching pron, then | 01:10 |
| joecurlee | LOADS of "writeaudio: buffer underrun" lines | 01:10 |
| superm1 | maybe its worthwhile for us to make some changes then | 01:10 |
| joecurlee | lol... here's the crazy part: I've had mythtv for about 1 week now | 01:10 |
| superm1 | to check for big files.. | 01:10 |
| superm1 | 1 week? | 01:10 |
| superm1 | and that many logs...' | 01:10 |
| joecurlee | yes | 01:10 |
| superm1 | that's crazy! | 01:10 |
| joecurlee | there seems to be a line for every 30ms on the day of 2-27 | 01:11 |
| joecurlee | holy crap what was going on?? | 01:11 |
| adaptr | uber-debugging :) | 01:11 |
| joecurlee | lol | 01:11 |
| superm1 | if you can sort out what was happening / why, we'll see if we can prevent it in the future :) | 01:12 |
| joecurlee | "ac-tex damaged at 0 43" <-- lots of info like that | 01:12 |
| adaptr | internal mplayer debug output, looks like | 01:12 |
| adaptr | no fun to watch AT ALL | 01:12 |
| joecurlee | it looks like this happened last thursday and friday | 01:12 |
| adaptr | ZOMG ! somebody haxored your mediabox :) | 01:13 |
| joecurlee | lol | 01:13 |
| joecurlee | i assuming you're joking | 01:13 |
| adaptr | well, yes | 01:13 |
| Cackette | Has anyone seen Basshunter's video Now You're Gone? | 01:14 |
| adaptr | any good ? | 01:14 |
| Cackette | i like it | 01:14 |
| Cackette | but i have a question about it | 01:14 |
| adaptr | haven't seen it, obviously | 01:14 |
| joecurlee | hmm... i have no idea what's wrong with this thing. i'm tempted to just delete these files and hope it doesn't happen again :) | 01:16 |
| joecurlee | ok so most lines are "mpeg2video @ [memory_address]" etc. etc. | 01:18 |
| Viaken | My recording resolution is 480x480. ...it's not really square is it? What should it be? | 01:18 |
| joecurlee | someone want me to email them the log?? :D | 01:18 |
| adaptr | joecurlee: I can suggest a few individuals, yes | 01:19 |
| joecurlee | lol | 01:19 |
| joecurlee | oh... one other interesting thing: first log was at 7:51:15am the other 7:35:15am | 01:20 |
| joecurlee | actually most logs in this folder are right around that time | 01:20 |
| joecurlee | so that makes it less interesting | 01:20 |
| adaptr | what the hell were you watching at 7 in the morning ? | 01:21 |
| joecurlee | i have kids shows set to record for my daughter | 01:21 |
| joecurlee | i guess that could be it | 01:21 |
| adaptr | it probably borked, or SHE borked IT :) | 01:22 |
| adaptr | is it Dora the Explorer ? that would explain everything | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | actually that wouldn't be surprising | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | curious george... close enough | 01:22 |
| adaptr | ewww.. indeed | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | on thursday my hd was maxed out... this partially explains why | 01:23 |
| joecurlee | thanks to that little nightmare i didn't record lost | 01:23 |
| joecurlee | anyway, i'm now going off in left field, partially the rum talking. so delete these logs then? | 01:24 |
| adaptr | of course, and prevent it from occuring again if at all possible | 01:24 |
| adaptr | let the system mail you when you run out of space on the recorder partition | 01:25 |
| adaptr | say, one mail a day as long as it's under 5 GB or so | 01:25 |
| joecurlee | uh... yea... recording partition... | 01:25 |
| adaptr | to remind you to cleen it out | 01:25 |
| adaptr | hahahaha I knew that | 01:25 |
| joecurlee | yea... i should buy a new hd soon... but i'm really lazy | 01:26 |
| adaptr | 2TB backends ftw | 01:27 |
| joecurlee | one other question since i'm new to mythtv: i'm using a 1080p 40 inch lcd television. any suggestions on transcoding? | 01:32 |
| joecurlee | right now i'm not transcoding at all... should i bother for the sake of storage, and if yes, how can i keep it looking good on the tv? | 01:32 |
| adaptr | joecurlee: suggestions for what ? | 01:32 |
| adaptr | what kind of signal are you recording ? | 01:33 |
| joecurlee | well... right now i'm pretty much just recording the shows and leaving them as is... | 01:33 |
| joecurlee | atsc | 01:33 |
| adaptr | is that itself 1080p ? | 01:33 |
| joecurlee | also qam | 01:33 |
| joecurlee | no | 01:33 |
| adaptr | then what is it | 01:33 |
| joecurlee | highest that anyone broadcasts is 1080i i believe | 01:33 |
| adaptr | how big are your nupples now ? | 01:35 |
| adaptr | 10GB an hour ? | 01:35 |
| adaptr | 5GB ? | 01:35 |
| joecurlee | i think around 5ish | 01:36 |
| adaptr | let go of that bottle ! | 01:36 |
| adaptr | heh | 01:36 |
| adaptr | just in time | 01:36 |
| joecurlee | whu? | 01:37 |
| adaptr | if you transcode to h.264 you should be ableto get it down to ~1.5 per hour with excellent quality | 01:37 |
| joecurlee | cool | 01:38 |
| joecurlee | ok i'm out. thanks for the help | 01:38 |
| adaptr | that's what people post from recorded TV shows, anyway - and I think that's 720p, which isn't much smaller than 1080i | 01:38 |
| adaptr | maybe 2GB per hour | 01:38 |
| adaptr | it would net you twice the space | 01:38 |
| joecurlee | true | 01:38 |
| joecurlee | cool. thanks :) | 01:38 |
| adaptr | so set it to transcode anything that you didn't throw away during the night | 01:38 |
| adaptr | oh | 01:39 |
| adaptr | drunkard | 01:39 |
| tritium | I'm quite skeptical of the claim that 7.10 fixes QAM tuning errors with HDHomeRun. When I try, it fails, and goes to a screen that says "Error was encountered while displaying video," with a button down below to "Return to Menu." | 02:28 |
| tritium | So far, it has been, by _far_ the most difficult tuner I've ever had to setup. | 02:28 |
| tritium | If you have any experience with this problem, please let me know how you solved it. | 02:30 |
| Egghead3 | is there a way to share the setting for mythweather from one fe to another? | 02:37 |

| benlake | does anyone else experience a pink screen of death with an nvidia pci video card when you attempt to watch TV? | 04:03 |
| Viaken | What starts NetworkManager? I have no need for it and I'd like it to die (peacefully, in its sleep)... | 04:18 |
| superm1 | just remove it's package | 04:24 |
| superm1 | its in apt | 04:24 |
| tritium | superm1: I think I'm making progress with the HDHomeRun. Looks like only a handful of HD channels are on QAM-256. You think the rest are on 64? Why doesn't your HowTo suggest also scanning for 128? | 04:25 |
| * Viaken sighs | 04:28 | |
| superm1 | tritium, no particular reason - most providers are 256 or 64 | 04:28 |
| tritium | Okay, thanks. This is Comcast. | 04:28 |
| Viaken | I would, if I could access it. It also appears to keep switching to WPA instead of WPA2... | 04:28 |
| tritium | Viaken: why can't you access it? You should be able to "sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager" | 04:29 |
| superm1 | Viaken, additionally, if you configure it using network-admin - it automatically isn't used in network-manager | 04:30 |
| Viaken | I configured the system through network-admin, but it doesn't reconnect every reboot. | 04:31 |
| Viaken | I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. | 04:31 |
| tritium | Viaken: is there an "auto" stanza in your /etc/network/interfaces for that interface, then? | 04:31 |
| Viaken | My family's watching TV and I can't access it through the network right now, so I'll look into it later. | 04:32 |
| tritium | Can't ssh into it from the machine you're using for IRC now? | 04:33 |
| Viaken | No. It didn't rejoin the network on the reboot, as I mentioned. | 04:34 |
| tritium | oh | 04:34 |
| Viaken | Obliquely :P | 04:34 |
| Viaken | Thanks for trying to help, tho. heh | 04:34 |
| tritium | You mentioned that it happens in general, but not at this specific time. | 04:35 |
| Viaken | Yeah. Sorry | 04:36 |
| benlake | anyone here in Houston, TX? | 05:01 |
| tritium | Can anyone verify that Comcast Basic Plus is mostly analog NTSC? If I upgrade to Comcast Digital, will all the channels be QAM, or only the HD ones? | 05:05 |
| GenFred | Hi all, I am experimenting with mythbuntu and the VNC server seems to have problems | 05:28 |
| GenFred | when i connec the screen is all distorted. I can see the mouse cursor clearly but the rest of the screen in distorted, any ideas? | 05:29 |
| superm1 | GenFred, 8.04? | 05:29 |
| superm1 | or 7.1 | 05:29 |
| superm1 | 7.10 | 05:29 |
| GenFred | err the current version | 05:34 |
| GenFred | 7.01 | 05:34 |
| GenFred | nope it was 7.10 | 05:34 |
| superm1 | try to turn off open gl theme painter | 05:35 |
| superm1 | if you turned that on | 05:35 |
| superm1 | and then also if you have changed resolutions, try to reboot | 05:35 |
| superm1 | and see if it persists with the 'starting resolution' | 05:35 |
| GenFred | i havent changed resolutions or turned on open gl theme painter | 05:36 |
| GenFred | I did install it with apt tho. When I tried to enable the service in the mythbuntu control center it would crash when installing | 05:38 |
| GenFred | i have uploaded a screesn shot | 05:39 |
| GenFred | http://senduit.com/4f2d0d | 05:39 |
| superm1 | GenFred, you need to put in the cd | 05:52 |
| superm1 | to install via the control panel | 05:52 |
| superm1 | that was a bug in 1.10 | 05:53 |
| superm1 | GenFred, try a different vnc client | 05:53 |
| superm1 | rather than realvnc | 05:53 |
| superm1 | try tightvnc | 05:53 |
| superm1 | or vice versa | 05:53 |
| tritium | Well, I just upgraded from Basic Plus to Digital. I hope that gets me more than just the HD channels... | 06:05 |
| tritium | (on QAM) | 06:05 |
| GenFred | superm1: i have reinstalled mythbuntu now and vnc was installed fine via the control panel | 07:12 |
| GenFred | superm1: have also tried tightvnc client, give me the same crazy view. I have tried going through different encoding methods but all produce the same screen | 07:13 |
| superm1 | GenFred, that's really messed up:( | 07:13 |
| superm1 | wonder what it can be about your machine doing that.. | 07:13 |
| GenFred | do you think its the server or the viewer? | 07:14 |
| GenFred | it must be the server if i have tried multiple bits of software | 07:14 |
| rhpot1991 | can try out nx instead :P | 07:14 |
| rhpot1991 | not the most elegant fix, but I prefer nx anymore | 07:14 |

| uid000 | hi. I'm having a heck of a problem with spdif on my audigy 2. can anyone help? | 14:43 |
| nettow_ | hey guys | 15:17 |
| nettow_ | I need some help with the audio since reloading gusty..... | 15:18 |
| nettow_ | I have no audio in ubuntu or mythtv | 15:18 |
| nettow_ | I have selected the motherboard audio via the volume and... | 15:19 |
| nettow_ | prefs > sounds | 15:20 |
| nettow_ | I also have iec958 selected | 15:20 |
| nettow_ | The only way I get any audio is when I use xine | 15:21 |
| adaptr | so whatever mplayer is using for audio is muted | 15:21 |
| adaptr | select anotehh engine perhaps | 15:21 |
| adaptr | *another | 15:21 |
| nettow_ | is mplayer used for live tv? | 15:22 |
| nettow_ | in mythtv? | 15:22 |
| nettow_ | what about the desktop sound? | 15:23 |
| adaptr | well, no - what TV card are you using ? many cards do not feed the audio to the system directly | 15:24 |
| nettow_ | i'm using dvico fusion hdtv5 gold & pchdtv 5500...... | 15:25 |
| nettow_ | all this worked fine before using gusty,,, | 15:25 |
| adaptr | hrm | 15:26 |
| nettow_ | I found a solution to the audio problem..... | 16:15 |
| nettow_ | I blacklisted the cx88_alsa module | 16:16 |
| uid000 | hi, is there anyone who might be able to help troubleshoot spdif audio problems? | 16:25 |
| adaptr | probably | 16:26 |
| uid000 | adaptr: was that in response to me? | 16:28 |
| adaptr | definitely | 16:28 |
| uid000 | okay. my problem is that spdif output was working fine til I played a video file with ac3 soundtrack using ac3 passthrough. now spdif only works for stuff using ac3 passthrough but not normal audio. analog out works fine though | 16:29 |
| uid000 | nothing seems to be out of place in alsamixer | 16:30 |
| adaptr | so maybe it is a one-way swicth | 16:30 |
| uid000 | but I could be wrong | 16:30 |
| adaptr | once you have passed through an ac3 stream, it doesn't play normal audio anymore | 16:30 |
| adaptr | the switch will have to be reset by software, but alsa doesn't do that | 16:30 |
| uid000 | right. | 16:30 |
| uid000 | so what switch, then | 16:31 |
| adaptr | check the options in the sound setup | 16:31 |
| adaptr | there are quite a few | 16:31 |
| uid000 | sound setup in the mythfrontend? | 16:31 |
| adaptr | yers | 16:32 |
| uid000 | well there's nothing in there that looks related to me. did you have something in mind? | 16:32 |
| uid000 | fwiw, when I play a dvd using ac3 passthrough this problem doesn't occur. just files that I've ripped from dvd. | 16:33 |
| adaptr | yes, you already said | 16:33 |
| uid000 | also, the problem, once it happens, is persistent across reboots | 16:34 |
| adaptr | that seems to indicate alsamixer or some such | 16:35 |
| adaptr | not hardware setting | 16:35 |
| uid000 | I figured as much. but nothing sticks out in alsamixer. I've compared settings from a livecd session, as well. | 16:35 |
| uid000 | I'm able to workaround (semi-satisfactorily) by redefiing alsa:default to spdif in /etc/asound.conf | 16:36 |
| uid000 | with this: | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #pcm.!default { | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #type plug | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #slave { | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #pcm "spdif" | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #rate 48000 | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #format S16_LE | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #} | 16:37 |
| uid000 | #} | 16:37 |
| uid000 | yikes sorry for the large paste | 16:37 |
| uid000 | hmmm this is interesting | 16:40 |
| uid000 | booted into a live cd session and saved a asound.state using alsactl. I rebooted and did a alsactl restore using the asound.state from the livecd session. and it restored spdif. | 16:41 |
| uid000 | now to diff the two asound.states and see what changed. | 16:42 |
| tritium | Good morning. | 17:49 |
| nettow0822 | I'm having trouble getting the channels.conf to be used.... | 18:17 |

| sonium | hi | 21:39 |
| Tuv0k | hi | 21:39 |
| sonium | I have no /dev/lirc | 21:39 |
| Tuv0k | new to irc huh? | 21:39 |
| Tuv0k | thats because there is no such thing as /dev/lirc | 21:39 |
| sonium | no? | 21:40 |
| sonium | If i start lircd -d and connect to it with irw | 21:40 |
| sonium | it says could not get file information for /dev/lirc | 21:41 |
| sonium | and exits | 21:41 |
| sonium | do you know what there could be wrong? | 21:41 |
| Tuv0k | which version of mythbuntu are you running? | 21:42 |
| Tuv0k | or ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| sonium | 7.10 | 21:42 |
| sonium | mythbuntu | 21:42 |
| Tuv0k | ok | 21:42 |
| sonium | the next one is still beta i think | 21:43 |
| Tuv0k | did you run the mythbuntu command center? | 21:43 |
| Tuv0k | MCC? | 21:43 |
| Tuv0k | it will setup remote control setting for you | 21:43 |
| sonium | yes.. I configured lirc from the command center | 21:43 |
| Tuv0k | ok | 21:44 |
| sonium | yes. set it to hauppauge | 21:44 |
| Tuv0k | which kind of hauppauge? | 21:44 |
| sonium | pvr150 | 21:44 |
| Tuv0k | pvr150? | 21:44 |
| Tuv0k | same card I have | 21:44 |
| sonium | but there is only hauppauge to choose afiak | 21:44 |
| Tuv0k | I had this issue a while ago, but vaugely remember how I overcame it | 21:44 |
| Tuv0k | but you will need to add a file to your kernel firmware for this cards remote to work | 21:45 |
| sonium | argh.. | 21:45 |
| Tuv0k | I know | 21:45 |
| sonium | what do you mean with kernel firmware? | 21:45 |
| Tuv0k | and anytime you change the kernel you will have to do so again | 21:45 |
| sonium | a firmware for the card? | 21:45 |
| Tuv0k | its just a folder | 21:46 |
| Tuv0k | /lib/firmware/whatever kernel you have | 21:46 |
| Tuv0k | the file is: | 21:46 |
| Tuv0k | haup-ir-blaster.bin | 21:46 |
| Tuv0k | whether you use the blaster or not | 21:46 |
| Tuv0k | that file must be present | 21:47 |
| sonium | erm.. what is the blaster? | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | look it up | 21:47 |
| sonium | k | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | :) | 21:47 |
| sonium | thx | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | it allows you to control a set top box | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | np | 21:47 |
| sonium | I don't think that I have this | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | you should be able to get that file from haupagges site | 21:47 |
| Tuv0k | have what? | 21:47 |
| sonium | an blaster | 21:48 |
| Tuv0k | how would you know? | 21:48 |
| Tuv0k | you never heard of it before I mentioned it? | 21:48 |
| sonium | yes | 21:48 |
| Tuv0k | follow the above instruction and good luck | 21:48 |
| sonium | ah... irblaster means the card can send ir also | 21:55 |
| sonium | ok, the cable that comes out of the card looks like it could do this | 21:56 |
| sonium | I really wonder what this should be good for | 21:56 |
| sonium | controlling my tv with it? | 21:57 |
