[00:20] hello [00:21] using a mythbuntu backend and a frontend on kubuntu installed via the mythbuntu control center [00:21] just got through updating the mythbuntu backend server [00:22] now frontend won't connect saying protocol version mismatch (frontend=31,backend=40) [00:22] but there seems to be no updates for kubuntu [00:29] r0dzilla: your frontend and backend version don't match [00:30] dpkg -l myth* |grep ^ii [00:30] see which one is different then apt-get install it and it should get fixed [00:30] you will need to do the same for mythvideo if you had it installed previously as well [00:52] thanks for the tip! [01:40] Hi all [01:42] Anyone here know how to make MythTV stop filling up the TV directory with junk? I've only recorded 1 show and I've got 33 GB worth of other misc junk in there. [01:42] hello? [01:44] Anyone here? Even if you can't help, say something so I know Pidgin isn't broken or something. [01:45] Hey Superm1, thanks for the help the other night. [01:45] no prob [01:45] got all working? [01:45] Yep [01:46] great :) [01:46] MUS4SHIII, so for your part, if you see some folks you can help now, please do so :) [01:47] Now that it is working though, I'm getting extra stuff in my TV folder. I've only recorded 1 show, but I've got like 30 GB of misc junk in there. I know it is supposed to do that, but is there any way to make the livetv files expire quicker than 1 day. [01:47] I will help with anything I can help with :) [01:47] gotta pay it forward [01:47] yeah exactly. [01:48] i'm not sure about making it expire that much faster than a day though [01:48] if the space ends up being needed, it will expire it imm [01:49] That drive is not dedicated to Myth though. I just don't want to have any problems with not being able to download things without cleaning up myth files. [01:50] Other than that I'm happy so far with MythTV. I would like a couple more features, but overall pretty good for a non commercial app. [01:50] then just make sure you set the "free space" for it to keep on that drive fairly high [01:50] ahh. Is that set in the backend setup? [01:50] i forget, sorry. it's been ages since i had to change that option [01:50] I'll find it. [01:50] like literally 2 years :) [01:51] I'm brand new to MythTV. My MCE2k5 was rebooting randomly and I got tired of messing with it. No probs since going to Ubuntu [01:51] I'm over windows now [01:54] once you get used to finding things and working with it a little bit, you'll wonder why u didnt switch sooner [01:55] Now I've got to get the frontend on my Xbox. Until then I'll play from XBMC, but I need to get the app that renames the mythtv files with the name of the show to make them easier to find across the network. [01:56] already exists... :) [01:56] mythtvfs [01:56] will do it for you [01:56] it makes a fuse filesystem [01:56] thanks, that was what I was looking for [02:42] Hi again [02:43] having mythtvfs issues in the fstab. works well with sudo mythtvfs -0 host=127.0.0.1 /media/Storage/Media/RecordedTV /mnt/mythtvfs but not working with the following fstab entry: mythtvfs#/media/Storage/Media/RecordedTV /mnt/mythtvfs fuse user,host=127.0.0.1 0 0 [02:56] hi all [03:08] Anyone know which remote type to choose in Mythbuntu's setup for a PVT-150 remote? [03:09] Err, Mythbuntu 7.10, fwiw. [03:10] Error at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/settings/tmpl/lite/welcome.phError at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/settings/tmpl/lite/welcome.phError at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/settings/tmpl/lite/welcome.php, line 29: [03:10] Invalid argument supplied for foreach()p, line 29: [03:10] Invalid argument supplied for foreach()p, line 29: [03:10] Invalid argument supplied for foreach() [03:10] sotty [03:10] sorry [03:38] Hi everyone. Does anyone have any experience with mythtvfs? [03:41] hello? [03:41] You may have to wait a while to get an intelligent response... :/ [03:42] looks that way [03:42] Can someone point me to a guide to setting up Samba on my Backend... I am a newbie so need a good walkthrough [03:42] at least I know I'm not the only one here now. [03:42] You are not alone. I just didn't see the point in cluttering things up with my ignorance... :/ [03:42] fair nuff [03:42] ;) [03:43] rhpot1991, you had me do a dpkg -l myth* | grep ^ii to see what packages were different between my mythbuntu backend system and the frontend on my kubuntu system, it seems the backend is .21 and frontend is .20 [03:43] but when I try to upgrade the ones on kubuntu that are old, apt says they are newest available [03:43] MythbuntuGuest40: if you enable samba sharing via MCC it shares out the default locations automagically [03:44] r0dzilla: did you do a sudo apt-get update? [03:44] yes, in fact adept just finished doing upgrades for kereboes [03:45] r0dzilla: you have to enable unsupported, newer *something or another updates in synaptic to get 0.21. [03:46] Hey rhpot, you got me into this mess... I talked to a friend of mine and he suggested Samba over NFS. You make it sound SOOO easy... A guide or walkthtough would be helpful. [03:46] can anyone help me with mythtvfs fstab issue? [03:46] MythbuntuGuest40: smaba != NFS, they are 2 differen't things [03:46] let me show you the nfs guide I showed him [03:47] Erik_: he got the 0.21 backend from backports, so he should have them enabled and the frontend should be there [03:47] r0dzilla: I'm assuming you didn't add any of the mythbuntu sources to your apt, and this is just the plain kubuntu sources right? [03:48] Ah. I suspected he might have them on different machines. :o [03:48] MythbuntuGuest40: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [03:48] right [03:48] r0dzilla: are they on the same box or different? [03:48] So, you suggest I use NFS over Samba? I truly just need the easiest way to get it done. Will follow your lead here. [03:49] MythbuntuGuest40: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba?highlight=(samba) [03:49] different [03:49] anyone have any fstab experience with mythtvfs? [03:49] MythbuntuGuest40: depends on the situation, samba can share out to windows hosts if you need that [03:49] MythbuntuGuest40: nfs only shares to other unix boxes [03:49] r0dzilla: check the box with 0.21 for your /etc/apt/sources.lists [03:49] find the lines (2 of them) that say backports [03:49] ok I got it to come up by turning on unsupported [03:49] and make sure those are on the other box [03:50] then upgrade away [03:50] rhpot: that is what I will be needing... So Samba is the correct application here. Thank you for the link! [03:50] rodzille: in order to get 0.21 on my Kubuntu 7.10 box, I had to go into "Adept Manager", click "Adept", "Mange Repositories", "Updates" tab, "Unsupported updates" check box. [03:50] For what little it's worth... :/ [03:50] did just that now I'm waiting for updates to finish [03:50] MythbuntuGuest40: like I said if you enable samba via MCC, then it shares out the default locations automagically and you an modify them easily [03:51] So, anyone here have a PVR-150 card and know which remote to select in Mythbuntu 7.10's setup utility? I've screwed around with it so much now, I'm not sure what the heck I killed... :( [03:52] * r0dzilla is getting ready to buy a pair of hd-5500's [03:52] can anyone help with my fstab? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60120/ [03:52] * Erik_ needs to show the wife that he can keep this thing running reliably before he'll get to spend any more money... [03:54] MUS4SHIII: if you don't get help here tonight try to forums, that is something that not everyone uses so you might have better luck there [03:55] looks like the downloads are gonna take a while, gonna get some sleep in the meantime [03:55] good night everyone [03:55] and thanks for the help [03:55] Night. :) [03:55] Erik_: let me look it up, that should work easily [03:56] Yes, it should. And, it was until I screwed around with my lircrc files. I switched them back, but in all the screwing around, I'm not sure if I'm fighting with having the right remote selected, or if I have more problems with my lircrc file... :( [03:57] There was also an update in the middle of all my screwing around that might have something to do with it. I'm just wanting to make sure I have the right remote selected before I bother people with anything more in depth... :/ [03:58] FWIW, this is the remote: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/hauppauge/PVR-350.jpg [03:58] same one I have/had [03:59] "hauppauge TV card" [04:00] can anyone help with mythtvfs [04:00] Roger. AFK for a sec... [04:10] Remote now set to "Hauppauge TV card" and still no joy. I believe the fact that the only "lirc" device I have in /dev is /dev/lircd. No /dev/lirc0, etc. Any thoughts on what I could have screwed up? [04:12] Erik_: do this [04:12] Standing by. [04:12] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc reload [04:13] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [04:13] "ls /dev/lir*" still returns only "/dev/lircd". :( [04:13] (As root.) [04:13] ok hmmm [04:14] can you restart the box? [04:14] Of course. And, I have, several times. However, I would be happy to do so, again. [04:14] I've seen that clear up some module problems, its worth a shot that way we are working with some freshness [04:14] I haven't made any changes to the config, since I changed the remote type to "Hauppauge TV card" and rebooted... [04:15] Well, it certainly can't hurt anything... Rebooting the box. [04:15] alright do that then check for lirc devices again [04:15] after that I can have you pastebin some configs if its still not working [04:16] Roger. [04:16] It's coming back up, now. The box is pathetically underpowered and slow... :( [04:17] Celeron 1.1GHz. :o [04:18] thats fine for SD with a hauppauge card [04:18] get ready to cry when you try to do HD though [04:18] Indeed. So long as a commercial flagging job isn't running... ;) [04:19] Oh, I am well aware daddy's going to have to crack open the wallet to go to HD... [04:19] commercial flagging while playing back a problem, or just in general? [04:19] anyone know anything about mythtvfs? [04:19] Still only the /dev/lircd . :( [04:20] !pastebing | Erik_ [04:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebing - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:20] !pastebin | Erik_ [04:20] Erik_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:20] Commercial flagging while watching live tv doesn't do well. [04:20] use that and paste in your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file [04:20] Erik_: if you have an nvidia card you can enable XvMC which should help some with that [04:20] you lose color OSD's but playback is pretty good [04:21] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60123/ [04:21] This box is currently using an onboard video card... [04:21] More than anything, this is a proof of concept to get my wife to buy in to putting together a real box. [04:22] She's actually really happy with MythTV, at this point. She just wants to remote to work. I don't blame her. :) [04:22] Erik_, what kind of remote? [04:23] The remote included with my Hauppauge PVR-150. [04:23] I have the same [04:23] you need to add a file to the firmware folder [04:23] FWIW, I've also reseated the plug in the back of the card several times... [04:23] then it will work [04:23] Erik_: clarify which version of the OS and mythtv you are suing [04:23] its simple [04:23] using [04:23] tuvook: he used MCC to load it, that should work right away [04:23] no it wont [04:23] rhpot1991: Mythbuntu 7.10, fresh install off their CD as of a few days ago. [04:24] MCC will not add the file he needs [04:24] because its propietary [04:24] this is a know issue [04:24] Erik_, follow my instructions if you want it to work [04:25] Standing by. [04:25] whether you use the blaster or not, you will need to add the blaster file to your kernel firmware directory [04:25] I'll provide you with the name of the file [04:25] Where do I get the file, and where do I place it? [04:25] one sec [04:25] from haupagges site [04:25] one sec [04:25] Phew. I was afriad you were going to tell me I needed the CD. :) [04:26] Erik_: do a dmesg| grep lirc and see if it complains about the firmware in there [04:26] no [04:26] don't bother [04:26] it won't [04:26] [ 201.700070] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [04:26] That's the only line returned. [04:27] alright go ahead with tuvook's instructions and see if that helps, I haven't done a fresh install on my box with that remote in ages so I didn't use MCC to set it up originally [04:27] I seem to recall, many moons ago, having to copy a Win32 binary of some sort from the driver CD to get this thing to work, WAY back when.. [04:28] Well, even if the thing explodes in a ball of fire, I'm not out much. Just some Scrubs episodes and my time... :) [04:28] haup-ir-blaster.bin [04:29] put that file in /lib/firmware/whatever_kernel_you_use [04:29] you'll find your remote will work [04:30] also make sure you have the ubuntu-modules package as well [04:30] let me know how that goes [04:31] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/181871 [04:31] I filed this "bug" a while ago [04:32] thats why I'm very familiar with the matter [04:33] anyone know anything about mythtvfs [04:33] Any hints on an easy way to lay hands on the .bin file? I downloaded their driver CD, and I'm rummaging through it... [04:33] tuvook: I'm fairly certain you don't need that bin to setup the remote (not sure about the blaster) [04:33] what with 2 of my boxes working with it and not having that [04:34] let me fire up this one and see if it is in here [04:34] Erik_, looking for that file for you [04:34] I have it, on a remote box, not this one [04:34] that or the way you configure the hauppauge remotes has changed since I last did it [04:35] Can anyone help me with mythtvfs fstab problem? it mounts with "sudo mount -a" but won't auto mount on boot. [04:35] Erik_: do a lsmod |grep lirc and verify lirc_i2c and lirc_dev are loaded [04:36] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60126/ [04:37] that looks good [04:38] Erik_, I have it for you [04:38] can't remember where I originally downloaded it from [04:39] I Googled it. [04:39] Rebooting the box, again. [04:39] you have the file? [04:39] Aye. Got it off blushingpenguin.com. [04:40] very good! [04:40] Let's hope whoever Mark is didn't do something nasty to the file. :/ [04:40] doubt it [04:40] the file should be 302355 bytes [04:41] Hehe. I can't imagine the time he'd have to have on his hands to modify that thing in such a way as to cause problems. [04:41] 302,355 bytes. :) [04:41] Looks like we have the same file. :D [04:41] L) [04:41] :) [04:44] Ugh. [04:45] no way [04:45] did you eun irw? [04:45] Believe me, I wish I had good news... :( [04:45] run [04:45] run irw and see what happens? [04:45] I get "connect: Connection refused" when I run irw. [04:45] ok [04:45] no lirc0 in your /dev? [04:46] I want to say that's an improvement. If I recall correctly, it had just been dumping me back to the command prompt with NO output. [04:46] Erik_: double check that the IR cord is plugged in, mine has a weird little cut out of it that has to be turned near the top to go all the way in [04:46] "ls /dev/lir*" returns only "/dev/lircd". [04:46] it is an improvement, I go tthat too === swqws is now known as a1fa_ [04:46] Alright. Lemme see if I can find the cutout... [04:47] mine is weird like that as well [04:47] push it all the way in [04:47] is the file in the correct location? [04:48] and make sure the ubuntu-modules I forget the correct name for the package [04:48] is installed [04:49] /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/haup-ir-blaster.bin [04:49] also, rerun the mcc ir tool [04:49] that tool should work properly now [04:52] Aptitude reports that I have "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic" version 2.6.22-14. [04:52] How do I go about rerunning the mcc ir tool? [04:52] uname -a will tell you the kernel you are running [04:52] Is that something within the Mythbuntu config GUI tool? [04:53] Linux mythtv 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [04:54] rhpot: need a little help here. [04:54] MythbuntuGuest40: go on [04:54] mythbuntu-control-center, got it. What would you have me do in it? [04:54] the ir setup portion Erik_ [04:55] just chose your remote again [04:55] choose [04:56] smbmount //myserver/myshare ~/.mnt --> get error: 5730: Connection to myserver failed SMB connection failed [04:56] I'm in the "Remote Control" section. I still have the correct remote selected. I do not have any other check boxes ticked, or anything else changed from default. [04:57] Have WORKGROUP set for Network Setup and Shared Folders - Domain the Vista machine is on [04:57] Does "Generate Dynamic Button Mappings" need to be checked? [04:57] sure go for it [04:58] once thats all set, hit confirm or whatnot then exit [04:58] Samba is enabled in MCC [04:58] Ok. Save, exit out and reboot? [04:58] Ok. [04:58] a reboot may not be required [04:58] try irw [04:59] you could also try restarting the lircd daemon with /etc/init.d/lircd restart [04:59] Nothing changed in irw. [04:59] and or relod the lirc modules with modprobe [05:00] MythbuntuGuest40: should be able to \\x.x.x.x\sharename [05:00] lsmod leads me to believe the modules are still loaded. [05:00] where the x's are your IP address of the box with the shares [05:00] /etc/init.d/lirc restart didn't change much. [05:00] so, no need to setup a MNT directory? [05:00] More to the point, it didn't change anything. [05:00] provided I read your question correctly [05:01] clarify where the shares exist, and where they are being mounted [05:01] Erik_, lirc-modules-source [05:01] install that package if you have not already? [05:01] anyone know about mythtvfs? [05:01] All I wish to do is take the folders shared on the VISTA box (192.168.1.100) and "push" them to the MUSIC VIDEO POSTER directorys [05:01] Was not installed. Installing now. [05:01] Erik_, linux-ubuntu-modules [05:02] that one as well [05:02] Roger. [05:02] MythbuntuGuest40: ah ok, do you have the shares created in vista already? [05:02] Yes, they are ready to go... [05:02] MythbuntuGuest40: you don't need samba enabled on the mythtv box then, thats for sharing out [05:03] linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic is already installed. (That's the one appropriate for my kernel.) [05:03] good [05:03] The lirc-modules-source package was not previously installed. [05:03] that should help [05:04] it will ask to be setup [05:04] I seem to recall something mystical about that guy, but I don't remember what needed to be done. [05:04] I did see a file: /etc/samba/smg.conf --> could I create the path there? [05:04] it will ask to check the remote that you have [05:04] then go about making the appropriate modules for the remote [05:04] MythbuntuGuest40: I have a link for you,just need to find it first [05:04] Erik_, I went through hell with this remote [05:05] hoping my work makes it easier for you [05:05] tuvook, which remote? [05:05] I'm remembering part of this. I'm trying to automatically build the kernel module... [05:05] Erik's the pvr150 [05:06] STD silver MCE remote? [05:06] Erik_, good, I believe we are almost there [05:06] not the mce one [05:06] well silver yes [05:06] no tthe grey [05:06] hauppauge grey [05:06] I may be color blind :P [05:07] grey [05:07] That image I linked earlier is a photo of the remote. [05:07] Erik_, the remote shown here [05:07] ? [05:07] http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150mcekit.html [05:07] no not that [05:07] not that one [05:07] I have the other [05:07] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PVR-350_Remote_Quick_Guide [05:08] http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150.html [05:08] that one [05:09] which receiver? [05:10] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PVR150_Remote [05:10] foxbuntu, not that remote. [05:10] Erik_, the one they sent me? [05:10] Erik_, reboot? [05:10] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Pvr350_grey_remote_generic.gif [05:11] I'm installing the source for fricking everything, so I can get this kernel module to build... [05:11] you don't need to rebuild the module [05:11] its already there [05:11] Erik_, are you using Mythbuntu? [05:11] foxbuntu, yes I am using Mythbuntu 7.10. [05:11] rhpot: you still digging for the link? [05:12] MythbuntuGuest40: thats what I was doing thanks [05:12] Erik_, are you using a non-standard irreceiver? I don't understand the reasoning for rebuilfing everything [05:12] rebuilding* [05:12] MythbuntuGuest40: its on my laptop I think, let me go get it [05:12] I am using the standard receiver that can with the PVR-150. [05:13] I'm grasping at straws, basically. [05:13] Erik_, you only needed to check the pvr150 module [05:13] tuvook, roger. That part is done. Rebooting. [05:13] Crossing fingers... And toes. :) [05:13] tuvook, you mind if I step in for a minute? I am the maintainer behind mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [05:14] sure no problem [05:14] Erik_, let me know when its booted back up [05:14] ah, no problem [05:14] foxbuntu, will do. And, thank you. :) [05:14] this is a great channel [05:14] Celeron 1.1GHz, 512M, not real fast... :/ [05:15] thats what I use for a remote frontend [05:15] Indeed. Always nice to see the actual maintainers hanging around. :D [05:15] except my chip is a P4 [05:15] Considering everything around here is still SD, it still does the job quite well. :) [05:15] feels like a celeron though :( [05:16] Indeed. The P4 never much impressed me. :/ [05:16] (Still on splash screen, booting...) [05:17] MythbuntuGuest40: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [05:17] MythbuntuGuest40: that tells you how to do it with smbfs, you might want to search for ciffs as I think that is the latest and greatest [05:17] foxbuntu, box is back up. [05:18] Erik_, ok [05:18] close the FE and open a terminal [05:18] MythbuntuGuest40: its cifs not ciffs [05:18] foxbuntu, is SSH good enough? [05:18] Erik_, that will work as well [05:18] The box is physically in the next room... [05:18] thats ok [05:18] Cool. :) [05:19] I can just see the side of the screen, so I know when it's up. :) [05:19] Erik_, sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb [05:19] Done.l [05:19] Done, rather. [05:19] any output? [05:19] errors or otherwise? [05:19] None. [05:19] good [05:20] that means it worked [05:20] That mean my remote'll work? [05:20] now do sudo modeprobe lirc_mceusb2 [05:20] Erik_, not yet...let me walk through this with you [05:20] Again, no output. [05:20] Roge.r [05:20] Roger, rather. [05:20] Awaiting further instructions. :) [05:21] * tuvook hoping it works for E [05:21] Erik_, ok this means that the proper reveicer modules are properly loading [05:21] Erik_, sudo depmod -a === tuvook is now known as Tuv0k [05:21] Long pause, no output. [05:22] Erik_, ok that means you arent having errors loading any kernel modules [05:22] good [05:22] I would think so. :) [05:23] Erik_, now, is the IR receiver usb? attached to the PVR-350? [05:23] rhpot: ciffs? [05:23] It attaches directly to the PVR-150 via a connector that looks similar to a 1/8" headphone jack, only a little smaller and has a couple extra conductors. [05:24] Erik_, ok [05:24] Erik_, sudo modprobe lirc_i2c [05:24] done. [05:25] Erik_, ok now [05:25] MythbuntuGuest40: cifs, search http://ubuntuforums.org for it, there are howtos in there [05:25] sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [05:25] Ok. [05:25] Erik_, hold on a min [05:26] Holding on. [05:28] Erik_: does that wire have 2 wires that split off of it? [05:28] Should there not be a pvr150 module mentioned somewhere around here? [05:28] one for the blaster one for the receiver? [05:28] i2c is the hauppauge [05:28] err, irritating, buy a Seagate 500gb hdd and it dies less that 48hours [05:28] rhpot1991, yes, it has the receiver and transmitter. [05:29] Erik_: you didn't happen to notice if the ir blaster flashes red when you first boot? [05:29]
