| Spanky0521 | good evening, i was wondering if someone could answer a question | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| Spanky0521 | i have setup my storage directories and they are mounted, mythtv user and group has read write access to them. however in the backend setup when i go to exit, it says it can't create a test file and asks if the directory is writeable | 00:09 |
| Spanky0521 | what did i miss? | 00:09 |
| Spanky0521 | i got it all fixed....fat fingered the directory permissions | 00:14 |

| TazgodX | Could not create a symlink to /var/lib/mythtv/videos, the local MythVideo directory for this hostname (MythBox). Please create a symlink to your MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of MythWeb. | 04:15 |
| TazgodX | anyone heard of that error? | 04:34 |
| rhpot1992 | TazgodX: check the faqs | 04:36 |

| TazgodX | ive been checking a few places, found nothing on it | 04:38 |
| rhpot1991 | TazgodX: | 04:40 |
| rhpot1991 | TazgodX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/FAQs | 04:40 |
| TazgodX | ahhhh ;) | 04:41 |
| TazgodX | that works now :) | 04:53 |
| Wy|laptop | Hrm, is there a reason why my mpeg4 and h.264 playback is hideously slow on my myth box? | 05:45 |
| rhpot1991 | Wy|laptop: cause they are cpu intensive? | 05:49 |
| TazgodX | hmm, why can't i upload images to my DVD covers folder | 05:55 |
| TazgodX | im too tired to be working on this still | 05:56 |
| rhpot1991 | check your perms | 06:00 |
| TazgodX | what does it have to be? | 06:00 |
| rhpot1991 | well all the other mythtv folders are 2775 | 06:00 |
| rhpot1991 | with mythtv:mythtv as the owner | 06:00 |
| Wy|laptop | sure, but a 2ghz A64x2 should be able to handle them, no? | 06:01 |
| TazgodX | well, i can write to it from within myth, but in mythweb it doesn't save the images when i browse to one, and when i connect via samba and can't manually upload to that folder. i can upload to the regular videos folder | 06:01 |
| * Wy|laptop ponders reinstalling windows on the htpc | 06:01 | |
| rhpot1991 | Wy|laptop: I would *think* you should be able to play them back | 06:02 |
| Wy|laptop | yeah, me too | 06:02 |
| Wy|laptop | but all I get is stutter. Same setup, they play fine under windows or osx | 06:03 |
| Wy|laptop | problem with the decode? | 06:04 |
| rhpot1991 | are you using the correct graphics drivers? | 06:27 |
| Wy|laptop | yup | 06:28 |
| Wy|laptop | nvidia proprietary | 06:28 |
| Wy|laptop | also get the same problem with the open source ones | 06:28 |
| rhpot1991 | is your cpu maxing out when you see the studders? | 06:28 |
| Wy|laptop | yup | 06:28 |
| rhpot1991 | try playing the video with vlc or some other media player? | 06:30 |
| Wy|laptop | tried mplayer, vlc, xine | 06:30 |
| Wy|laptop | try playing back http://myeve.eve-online.com/download/videos/Default.asp?a=download&vid=157 | 06:31 |

| MythbuntuGuest96 | hello, folks | 07:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest96 | running mythbuntu 8.04 here; is there a way to disable the delete-recording confirmation prompts? | 07:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest96 | i find i'm almost always certain i want to delete something, but if i make a mistake, can always go to the deleted recordings group to recover. | 07:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest96 | no need for the extra button presses to select "yes, i'm sure i want to delete", and enter the choice | 07:08 |
| TazgodX | hmm, so i have mythweb set up so i can edit info for videos i upload now. and i have it so i can upload images for videos. and it shows up in mythweb correctly, and it shows the image in video manager, but i can't see it when i browse videos. | 07:25 |
| === _taz_ is now known as TazgodX | ||
| TazgodX | found why i can't get my images to show up in Myth. when i upload over the net with mythweb an image for my video its permissions are screwed up. my user can't even access it. | 08:00 |

| immensewok | Has anyone had any luck getting a channel changing script to work under Hardy? I've got the Motorola DCT700 (Comcast) STB working from the command line (irsend ...) but not from a script. Its making it impossible to record anything. | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | immensewok, works here on hardy amd64 and a directv box via usb-serial | 20:44 |
| immensewok | I'm using a pentium 4 3GHz and a CommandIR blaster. I'm also using the same python script I used under Fiesty. Where did you get your script? | 20:46 |
| tgm4883 | immensewok, http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml Version 1.9 | 21:04 |
| iamlindoro__ | that's not going to get him very far w/ his Motorola box | 21:07 |
| immensewok | true but I'll take a look when I get home | 21:07 |
| immensewok | My issue is, things were working perfectly under Fiesty but the upgrade hosed a ton of stuff. I managed to get everything back except the channel change script (and as I said the blaster works) bit I don't know enough Python to start messing with the script. | 21:09 |
| tgm4883 | iamlindoro_, no it wont | 21:09 |
| tgm4883 | just FYI | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | mine also doesn't change via IR | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | so if you dig though that script you might find non IR related stuff that could be confusing | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | I haven't looked into the script lately | 21:10 |
| iamlindoro__ | immensewok, Multiple options here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script | 21:10 |
| tgm4883 | immensewok, is that a digital cable box? | 21:11 |
| immensewok | those are the scripts i'm talking about. i should have been clearer | 21:11 |
| iamlindoro__ | Although if neither work a channel change script need only be four or so lines, pretty simple to cook up | 21:11 |
| iamlindoro__ | tgm4883, It's moto's lowest end SD cable box | 21:11 |
| immensewok | tgm4883, yes its a digital box. the link above has the exact picture | 21:11 |
| iamlindoro__ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43 | 21:12 |
| iamlindoro__ | It can be as simple as that, and as you say irsend works, no reason that script shouldn't since that's all it uses | 21:12 |
| tgm4883 | immensewok, what link? | 21:12 |
| immensewok | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer#head-534df4fca92a8c4e96c29294f41465745dcfeb43 | 21:12 |
| immensewok | oops | 21:12 |
| iamlindoro__ | change REMOTE_NAME to be the DCT700's remote name in lircd.conf, change "select" to whatever you call your "OK" or "select" key in lircd.conf, and it should work fine | 21:12 |
| immensewok | i meant https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | ah I see it now | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | I'm guessing no working firewire on that box | 21:13 |
| immensewok | iamlindoro__ thank you. i'm at work so i can't test anything but you've given me something new to mess with | 21:13 |
| iamlindoro__ | no firewire period, coaxial and composite are the outs | 21:13 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 21:14 |
| * tgm4883 has to run | 21:14 | |
| tgm4883 | immensewok, can you test the script from the command line? | 21:15 |
| tgm4883 | hopefully if you get any errors we can help you with them | 21:15 |
| immensewok | tgm, that's a good point. i've been running myth and not changing channels but i never bothered to run the script directly and never got any output. seems like that should've been the first thing to try | 21:16 |
| tgm4883 | yea thats what I did | 21:16 |
| tgm4883 | you should just be able to do | 21:16 |
| tgm4883 | ./scriptname channelnum | 21:17 |
| immensewok | ok, now i want to ditch work and try some stuff. the boss is out of town so its ok, right? | 21:17 |
| immensewok | thanks tgm 4883 and iamlindoro_, i'm not stuck anymore. | 21:20 |
