[20:01] <psicobra> hi all how do i change the screen resolution and refresh rate
[20:01] <psicobra> ignore me i foubd it
[20:01] <psicobra> actually no i haven't
[20:02] <psicobra> i found a way i am supposed to change it but it doesn't have refresh rate
[20:30] <psicobra> how do i fix screen res?
[20:36] <xukun> is it possible to see the covers and the movie information for mythbuntu
[20:36] <psicobra> u mean for ur stored movies in mythbuntu?
[20:37] <majoridiot> xukun, you need to use the video manager of mythvideo to pull the info from imdb
[20:37] <majoridiot> under setup->video manager in frontend setup
[20:37] <psicobra> yes go into mythtv front eng go to setup and utils go to video manager select move and select search?
[20:37] <psicobra> doh
[20:38] <xukun> majoridiot, yes I did that but all I see is the names of the movie. No covers or anything else
[20:38] <majoridiot> select the movie and hit "i" for information... pulls up a list
[20:38] <majoridiot> xukun,  gimme a sec... i think i saw where the imdb script was broken again.
[20:39] <psicobra> u need to be connected to internet xukun then just hit search
[20:39] <majoridiot> xukun, see if this has any info... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=366415&goto=newpost
[20:39] <xukun> psicobra, I,m connected to internet
[20:39] <xukun> majoridiot, ok
[20:39] <majoridiot> xukun, imdb keeps changing their page layouts, which breaks the scraping script
[20:39] <majoridiot> (it's a never-ending battle to keep up sometimes)
[20:42] <xukun> majoridiot, I don't get what do I need to do now. Sorry
[20:42] <majoridiot> lemme see what those posts say...
[20:43] <majoridiot> xukun, what version of mythbuntu are you running?
[20:43] <xukun> majoridiot, 8.04
[20:44] <majoridiot> xukun, let me see if the scraper version i run works any better.  gimme a minute...
[20:45] <xukun> nb
[20:50] <majoridiot> xukun, ok... i've got a bit better script for you.
[20:50] <majoridiot> sudo edit /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl with the editor of your choice...
[20:50] <xukun> majoridiot, ok
[20:51] <majoridiot> delete what is there and paste the contents of this in there instead: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10312/
[20:51] <majoridiot> it's an older version of the script i changed for my own use...
[20:51] <majoridiot> the plot is currently broken by imdb updates... but it retrieves the name, director, cover art, etc.
[20:52] <majoridiot> it still has probs parsing some movie data...
[20:52] <majoridiot> and will return "garbage".  the imdb # is accurate, so when that happens, i hit 'info", delete the metadata and manually enter the #
[20:53] <majoridiot> it's a workround only, but works well enough.
[20:53] <sabhain> xukun & majoridiot: I've found that the imdb stuff works ok, but by default the directory it's storing the covers in isn't set writeable for a non root user
[20:54] <majoridiot> sabhain, VERY good info for xukun to check, thank you!
[20:54]  * majoridiot is still running 7.10 backend
[20:54] <sabhain> so everytime I setup a new system or reload mine, I have to hunt and add g+w to the perms and it works like a champ.  I know it was an issue in 7.10, and 8.04 beta .. haven't gotten there yet with 8.04 released
[20:54] <xukun> sabhain, can u please tell what I can do
[20:55] <majoridiot> sabhain, did you file a bugreport on that issue?
[20:55] <majoridiot> perhaps the devs do not know
[20:55] <xukun> sabhain, I have the final 8.04 now
[20:55] <sabhain> xukun, I'm not in front of a myth box at the moment, but in the settings for videos, you'll find a setting that defines the directory for the posters
[20:56] <sabhain> I found it by doing an updatedb and searching for the jpg that the IMDB app pulled down.
[20:56] <sabhain> then find the directory and do a sudo g+w {directory name}
[20:57] <majoridiot> xukun, that should be:
[20:57] <sabhain> you'll have to pull the info down again for each film .. and then you may get some issues where some of the videos show up twice
[20:57] <majoridiot> sudo chmod g+w <directory>
[20:57] <sabhain> but I think you can clear that out without losing the rips
[20:58] <sabhain> majoridiot, thanks for the correction.  I think I filed a bug report, but it was a while ago, and I found a workaround, but haven't thought about it for awhile.
[20:58] <sabhain> it's below my current battle with ALSA and a Realtek ALC888 sound card on my list.
[20:59] <majoridiot> sabhain, if you do sudo chmod -R g+rw <directory> it will change all perms recursively and should not require re-grabbing the info for any existing data
[21:05] <xukun> sabhain, majoridiot the directory that holds movie posters: says: /home/mythtv.mythtv/MythVideo " but I don't have the last Mythvideo part. Do I have to do something like mkdir Mythvideo or something
[21:05] <majoridiot> xukun, change it
[21:06] <majoridiot>  /home/mythtv.mythtv/MythVideo should be  /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo
[21:06] <majoridiot> you are missing the3rd /
[21:06] <majoridiot> (i believe)
[21:07] <xukun> majoridiot, no this is what I have: /home/mythtv/.mythtv$ ls
[21:07] <xukun> mysql.txt
[21:08] <majoridiot> well, actually...
[21:08] <majoridiot> mine is /home/idiot/.mythtv/MythVideo
[21:09] <majoridiot> that may or may not have changed from 7.10 to 8.04
[21:09] <xukun> majoridiot, I want make this same is the scrips says
[21:09] <xukun> I think
[21:17] <sabhain> majoridiot, it may be that the directory not being writeable will prevent mythtv from actually saving the file off ..
[21:17] <majoridiot> agreed.
[21:19] <xukun> sabhain, majoridiot its not really clear for me yet what do I need to do from here
[21:20] <majoridiot> xukun, if it were me, i would uninstall mythvideo and reinstall it...
[21:21] <majoridiot> lemme go install it on my devbox and see what it creates, so i don't tell you wrong.
[21:22] <xukun> majoridiot, ok I wait
[21:26] <majoridiot> xukun, ok... here's what i would do...
[21:26] <majoridiot> first, run the update manager to be sure you are fully updated
[21:26] <majoridiot> then, uninstall mythvideo
[21:26] <majoridiot> reinstall it
[21:27] <majoridiot> check to see if /home/<your user name>/.mythtv/MythVideo is created
[21:28] <majoridiot> hm... ok it apparently isn't created by default.
[21:28] <majoridiot> still... do that much whilst i check the rest
[21:28] <xukun> ok
[21:35] <majoridiot> xukun, ok, back...
[21:35] <majoridiot> once you are updated and mythvideo is reinstalled...
[21:35] <majoridiot> go back into media settings for video-->general
[21:35] <majoridiot> and make sure the directory for videos is correct for your system
[21:36] <majoridiot> then go into video manager and scan one of the videos
[21:36] <majoridiot> /home/<your user name>/.mythtv/MythVideo will now exist
[21:37] <majoridiot> i just did this myself on 8.04 devbox and not only did it work ok, but it retrieved all correct data and poster.
[21:37] <majoridiot> so definitely verified as working.
[21:38] <xukun> majoridiot, I did all above but I don't have Mythvideo in .mythtv
[21:39] <majoridiot> xukun, are you logged in and running mythfrontend as your regular user?
[21:39] <xukun> yes
[21:39] <majoridiot> more importantly... did it retrieve imdb data?
[21:39] <xukun> no
[21:40] <majoridiot> then you definitely have issues beyond mythvideo...
[21:40] <majoridiot> because it just worked 100% for me.
[21:40] <majoridiot> what repositories are you using?
[21:41] <majoridiot> i'm using a mirror of the regular branch... not weekly builds, etc.
[21:41] <xukun> majoridiot, you mean in the sources.list
[21:41] <majoridiot> yes
[21:42] <majoridiot> and what platform?  i386, amd64, etc
[21:44] <xukun> I did not change anything in the sources.list and I,m using the 386
[21:45] <xukun> majoridiot, this my sources.list
[21:56] <xukun> majoridiot, sorry: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10325/
[21:57] <majoridiot> hm... looks ok.
[21:58] <majoridiot> if you are fully updated, i have no clue why it is failing for you.  it just worked fine for me.
[21:58] <majoridiot> sorry.
[21:59] <xukun> majoridiot, sabhain thanks for all your help so far. This is realy making me crazy
