[01:02] hi, i just found out mythtv logs are taking up 46gb of space... that's a lot. any way to reduce this? [01:03] woah [01:03] why? [01:03] that's a great question :) [01:03] i mean with 46gb, is the meaning of life on line 55499353854? [01:03] lol [01:04] var/log/mythtv == 46.8gb [01:04] well look whats in them' [01:04] var/log/mysql == 800mb+ [01:04] looking now [01:05] it's all backend logs [01:05] 717 items [01:05] sorry no [01:05] 17 items... all backend logs... all regular .log files [01:06] that equal 46gb... wtf?? [01:06] scratch that... there are some front end logs too... still though... 46gb [01:06] what's the biggest individual file ? [01:06] there we go.. 2 of them are 20+gb [01:07] i wonder what that's all about... i'm assuming deleting them won't do any harm right? [01:07] well look at them first? [01:07] before you delte them [01:08] yea.... trying that now with vim... might have been a bad idea [01:08] it's having a bit of a time opening one of them [01:08] tail it instead [01:08] tail -n 5000 or so [01:08] also not very useful.. tail -n 100 is plenty to see what's in it [01:09] i'm seeing lots of stuff in here... lots of "opened codec" and info about streaming [01:10] it's just your 3 year history of watching pron, then [01:10] LOADS of "writeaudio: buffer underrun" lines [01:10] maybe its worthwhile for us to make some changes then [01:10] lol... here's the crazy part: I've had mythtv for about 1 week now [01:10] to check for big files.. [01:10] 1 week? [01:10] and that many logs...' [01:10] yes [01:10] that's crazy! [01:11] there seems to be a line for every 30ms on the day of 2-27 [01:11] holy crap what was going on?? [01:11] uber-debugging :) [01:11] lol [01:12] if you can sort out what was happening / why, we'll see if we can prevent it in the future :) [01:12] "ac-tex damaged at 0 43" <-- lots of info like that [01:12] internal mplayer debug output, looks like [01:12] no fun to watch AT ALL [01:12] it looks like this happened last thursday and friday [01:13] ZOMG ! somebody haxored your mediabox :) [01:13] lol [01:13] i assuming you're joking [01:13] well, yes [01:14] Has anyone seen Basshunter's video Now You're Gone? [01:14] any good ? [01:14] i like it [01:14] but i have a question about it [01:14] haven't seen it, obviously [01:16] 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 :) [01:18] ok so most lines are "mpeg2video @ [memory_address]" etc. etc. [01:18] My recording resolution is 480x480. ...it's not really square is it? What should it be? [01:18] someone want me to email them the log?? :D [01:19] joecurlee: I can suggest a few individuals, yes [01:19] lol [01:20] oh... one other interesting thing: first log was at 7:51:15am the other 7:35:15am [01:20] actually most logs in this folder are right around that time [01:20] so that makes it less interesting [01:21] what the hell were you watching at 7 in the morning ? [01:21] i have kids shows set to record for my daughter [01:21] i guess that could be it [01:22] it probably borked, or SHE borked IT :) [01:22] is it Dora the Explorer ? that would explain everything [01:22] actually that wouldn't be surprising [01:22] curious george... close enough [01:22] ewww.. indeed [01:23] on thursday my hd was maxed out... this partially explains why [01:23] thanks to that little nightmare i didn't record lost [01:24] anyway, i'm now going off in left field, partially the rum talking. so delete these logs then? [01:24] of course, and prevent it from occuring again if at all possible [01:25] let the system mail you when you run out of space on the recorder partition [01:25] say, one mail a day as long as it's under 5 GB or so [01:25] uh... yea... recording partition... [01:25] to remind you to cleen it out [01:25] hahahaha I knew that [01:26] yea... i should buy a new hd soon... but i'm really lazy [01:27] 2TB backends ftw [01:32] one other question since i'm new to mythtv: i'm using a 1080p 40 inch lcd television. any suggestions on transcoding? [01:32] 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] joecurlee: suggestions for what ? [01:33] what kind of signal are you recording ? [01:33] well... right now i'm pretty much just recording the shows and leaving them as is... [01:33] atsc [01:33] is that itself 1080p ? [01:33] also qam [01:33] no [01:33] then what is it [01:33] highest that anyone broadcasts is 1080i i believe [01:35] how big are your nupples now ? [01:35] 10GB an hour ? [01:35] 5GB ? [01:36] i think around 5ish [01:36] let go of that bottle ! [01:36] heh [01:36] just in time [01:37] whu? [01:37] if you transcode to h.264 you should be ableto get it down to ~1.5 per hour with excellent quality [01:38] cool [01:38] ok i'm out. thanks for the help [01:38] 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] maybe 2GB per hour [01:38] it would net you twice the space [01:38] true [01:38] cool. thanks :) [01:38] so set it to transcode anything that you didn't throw away during the night [01:39] oh [01:39] drunkard [02:28] 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] So far, it has been, by _far_ the most difficult tuner I've ever had to setup. [02:30] If you have any experience with this problem, please let me know how you solved it. [02:37] is there a way to share the setting for mythweather from one fe to another? [03:22] frink_, [03:22] frink_, ping [04:03] does anyone else experience a pink screen of death with an nvidia pci video card when you attempt to watch TV? [04:18] What starts NetworkManager? I have no need for it and I'd like it to die (peacefully, in its sleep)... [04:24] just remove it's package [04:24] its in apt [04:25] 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? [04:28] * Viaken sighs [04:28] tritium, no particular reason - most providers are 256 or 64 [04:28] Okay, thanks. This is Comcast. [04:28] I would, if I could access it. It also appears to keep switching to WPA instead of WPA2... [04:29] Viaken: why can't you access it? You should be able to "sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager" [04:30] Viaken, additionally, if you configure it using network-admin - it automatically isn't used in network-manager [04:31] I configured the system through network-admin, but it doesn't reconnect every reboot. [04:31] I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. [04:31] Viaken: is there an "auto" stanza in your /etc/network/interfaces for that interface, then? [04:32] My family's watching TV and I can't access it through the network right now, so I'll look into it later. [04:33] Can't ssh into it from the machine you're using for IRC now? [04:34] No. It didn't rejoin the network on the reboot, as I mentioned. [04:34] oh [04:34] Obliquely :P [04:34] Thanks for trying to help, tho. heh [04:35] You mentioned that it happens in general, but not at this specific time. [04:36] Yeah. Sorry [05:01] anyone here in Houston, TX? [05:05] 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? [05:28] Hi all, I am experimenting with mythbuntu and the VNC server seems to have problems [05:29] 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] GenFred, 8.04? [05:29] or 7.1 [05:29] 7.10 [05:34] err the current version [05:34] 7.01 [05:34] nope it was 7.10 [05:35] try to turn off open gl theme painter [05:35] if you turned that on [05:35] and then also if you have changed resolutions, try to reboot [05:35] and see if it persists with the 'starting resolution' [05:36] i havent changed resolutions or turned on open gl theme painter [05:38] I did install it with apt tho. When I tried to enable the service in the mythbuntu control center it would crash when installing [05:39] i have uploaded a screesn shot [05:39] http://senduit.com/4f2d0d [05:52] GenFred, you need to put in the cd [05:52] to install via the control panel [05:53] that was a bug in 1.10 [05:53] GenFred, try a different vnc client [05:53] rather than realvnc [05:53] try tightvnc [05:53] or vice versa [06:05] Well, I just upgraded from Basic Plus to Digital. I hope that gets me more than just the HD channels... [06:05] (on QAM) [07:12] superm1: i have reinstalled mythbuntu now and vnc was installed fine via the control panel [07:13] 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] GenFred, that's really messed up:( [07:13] wonder what it can be about your machine doing that.. [07:14] do you think its the server or the viewer? [07:14] it must be the server if i have tried multiple bits of software [07:14] can try out nx instead :P [07:14] not the most elegant fix, but I prefer nx anymore [07:42] This machine's load average: [07:42] * 1 Minute: 2.79 [07:42] * 5 Minutes: 2.09 [07:42] * 15 Minutes: 1.8 [07:42] is that pretty bad? [07:42] i'm trying to watch a recording while it commflags and is recording [07:42] and its lagging === paul___ is now known as paulmilliken [09:08] exit [13:57] Hi, I want to mount a nfs partition via fstab using: 192.168.0.2:/mnt/datenbereich/erstesvolume/Filme /media/Filme nfs defaults 0 0 but always get an error message like: connection refused back anz ideas for a standard mount command_ [14:01] does anyone know the name of the program that sets up sound when you install mythbuntu [14:13] any ideas? [14:22] Mornin' folks [14:24] I have the optimize db script set to run in my daily cron... when I go and look at my syslogs I don't see any evidence of it running.... shouldn't there be some record of it running somewhere?? [14:39] anz ideas where i might get inromations about nfs mounting_ [14:43] versus: Google is full of tutorials [14:43] hi. I'm having a heck of a problem with spdif on my audigy 2. can anyone help? [15:17] hey guys [15:18] I need some help with the audio since reloading gusty..... [15:18] I have no audio in ubuntu or mythtv [15:19] I have selected the motherboard audio via the volume and... [15:20] prefs > sounds [15:20] I also have iec958 selected [15:21] The only way I get any audio is when I use xine [15:21] so whatever mplayer is using for audio is muted [15:21] select anotehh engine perhaps [15:21] *another [15:22] is mplayer used for live tv? [15:22] in mythtv? [15:23] what about the desktop sound? [15:24] well, no - what TV card are you using ? many cards do not feed the audio to the system directly [15:25] i'm using dvico fusion hdtv5 gold & pchdtv 5500...... [15:25] all this worked fine before using gusty,,, [15:26] hrm [16:15] I found a solution to the audio problem..... [16:16] I blacklisted the cx88_alsa module [16:25] hi, is there anyone who might be able to help troubleshoot spdif audio problems? [16:26] probably [16:28] adaptr: was that in response to me? [16:28] definitely [16:29] 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 [16:30] nothing seems to be out of place in alsamixer [16:30] so maybe it is a one-way swicth [16:30] but I could be wrong [16:30] once you have passed through an ac3 stream, it doesn't play normal audio anymore [16:30] the switch will have to be reset by software, but alsa doesn't do that [16:30] right. [16:31] so what switch, then [16:31] check the options in the sound setup [16:31] there are quite a few [16:31] sound setup in the mythfrontend? [16:32] yers [16:32] well there's nothing in there that looks related to me. did you have something in mind? [16:33] fwiw, when I play a dvd using ac3 passthrough this problem doesn't occur. just files that I've ripped from dvd. [16:33] yes, you already said [16:34] also, the problem, once it happens, is persistent across reboots [16:35] that seems to indicate alsamixer or some such [16:35] not hardware setting [16:35] I figured as much. but nothing sticks out in alsamixer. I've compared settings from a livecd session, as well. [16:36] I'm able to workaround (semi-satisfactorily) by redefiing alsa:default to spdif in /etc/asound.conf [16:37] with this: [16:37] #pcm.!default { [16:37] #type plug [16:37] #slave { [16:37] #pcm "spdif" [16:37] #rate 48000 [16:37] #format S16_LE [16:37] #} [16:37] #} [16:37] yikes sorry for the large paste [16:40] hmmm this is interesting [16:41] 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. [16:42] now to diff the two asound.states and see what changed. [17:49] Good morning. [18:17] I'm having trouble getting the channels.conf to be used.... [18:17] I have tried two different channels.conf files... [18:17] but myth it can't find them...any ideas? [19:28] hello any help om mysql mythtv [19:32] anybody here [19:41] !ask [19:41] Please 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. :-) [21:39] hi [21:39] hi [21:39] I have no /dev/lirc [21:39] new to irc huh? [21:39] thats because there is no such thing as /dev/lirc [21:40] no? [21:40] If i start lircd -d and connect to it with irw [21:41] it says could not get file information for /dev/lirc [21:41] and exits [21:41] do you know what there could be wrong? [21:42] which version of mythbuntu are you running? [21:42] or ubuntu? [21:42] 7.10 [21:42] mythbuntu [21:42] ok [21:43] the next one is still beta i think [21:43] did you run the mythbuntu command center? [21:43] MCC? [21:43] it will setup remote control setting for you [21:43] yes.. I configured lirc from the command center [21:44] ok [21:44] yes. set it to hauppauge [21:44] which kind of hauppauge? [21:44] pvr150 [21:44] pvr150? [21:44] same card I have [21:44] but there is only hauppauge to choose afiak [21:44] I had this issue a while ago, but vaugely remember how I overcame it [21:45] but you will need to add a file to your kernel firmware for this cards remote to work [21:45] argh.. [21:45] I know [21:45] what do you mean with kernel firmware? [21:45] and anytime you change the kernel you will have to do so again [21:45] a firmware for the card? [21:46] its just a folder [21:46] /lib/firmware/whatever kernel you have [21:46] the file is: [21:46] haup-ir-blaster.bin [21:46] whether you use the blaster or not [21:47] that file must be present [21:47] erm.. what is the blaster? [21:47] look it up [21:47] k [21:47] :) [21:47] thx [21:47] it allows you to control a set top box [21:47] np [21:47] I don't think that I have this [21:47] you should be able to get that file from haupagges site [21:47] have what? [21:48] an blaster [21:48] how would you know? [21:48] you never heard of it before I mentioned it? [21:48] yes [21:48] follow the above instruction and good luck [21:55] ah... irblaster means the card can send ir also [21:56] ok, the cable that comes out of the card looks like it could do this [21:56] I really wonder what this should be good for [21:57] controlling my tv with it? [22:02] ok, I will save myself a lot of frustration and buy another remote [22:03] I anyway just bough the pvr150 with remote because it where cheaper that without [23:11] How can I transfer a movie from a Windows XP machine on the same network to my Mythbox? [23:28] ftp? [23:28] sftp? [23:28] samba? [23:30] samba is on by default on mythbuntu [23:31] just go browse your network shares in xp
