toorimavertical scaling in tv settings - playback03:12
sintralanyone got time to field an FAQ?03:50
superm1well it's a FAQ, then it should be in a FAQ ;)03:51
sintraltv playback fails, returns immediately to frontend main screen03:52
sintrallog says "LiveTV not successfully started"03:52
hadsDoes it say anything else?03:52
sintralboth cards (PVR 350 and pcHDTV5000) are both recognized03:53
superm1that usually means you selected the wrong type of card during setup for one of them03:53

superm1!pastebin03:54
superm1oh wait our bot died03:55
superm1what'd he used to say on that....03:55
hadsBummer03:55
sintrali chose V4L and Tuner1 for the HDTV card, and MPEG2 PVR x50 for the Hauppage card03:55
superm1Oct 20 23:03:35 <ubotu>andruk: pastebin is a service to post large 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 #ubuntu channel topic)03:55
superm1something like that03:55
superm1try to remove the HD card from the mix and make sure that it's working with just hte PVR card03:56
sintralnoted, thanks03:56
sintralphysically remove?03:56
sintralnevermind, i see what you mean03:57
superm1from mythtv-setup03:58
superm1probably best off wipe both cards from there03:58
superm1there is an optino to remove all cards03:58
superm1and then just add the pvr-35003:58
sintralok, did that and added back the pvr03:58
superm1and make sure it works03:58
superm1then go back and add the hd500003:58
sintralsame message in the log with just the pvr card03:59
superm1okay so repeat and do it with just the hd500004:00
superm1see if you have more lukc04:00
superm1that's odd that the error would be identical though04:00
superm1that looks like a DTV typeish error04:00
superm1or a messed up database possibly04:00
sintral2008-06-04 22:59:18.289 Couldn't upgrade database to new schema, exiting.04:01
sintrali also get this message04:01
superm1yeah that sounds more like it04:01
superm1so that means that you go through and do a repair on the database04:01
superm1or if this is a new database that you dont mind wiping,04:02
superm1drop it04:02
superm1and start it again04:02
sintralis there a default mysql user/passwd that would have been setup for me during the myth install?04:02
superm1yes04:03
superm1its all in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt04:03
r0dzillathanks toorime, I had to go afk, I'm going to try that now...04:04
sintralwhich table needs to be repaired? settings?04:06
sintralor what is the syntax for attempting to repair the entire db04:08
sintralsuperm, are you still available?04:15
superm1sintral, i always use gui tools and repair the whole db04:20
superm1beats me how to do it from cmnd line04:20
=== pcglue is now known as pcglue_
=== pcglue_ is now known as pcglue
sintralok, i got it from command line04:22
toorimasintral: u can install phpmyadmin to repair the db or use these commands, of course change to what ever u need to fix04:22
toorimamysql -u mythtv -p04:23

sintralso that's resolved and mythfrontend no longer reports the schema upgrade error04:23
sintralbut I do get this "GetEntryAt(-1) failed."04:23

martyhey anyone have a quick answer to why i can play dvds but not rip them in mythubuntu 8.04...libdvdcss2 is installed to...its starts to rip it and around the time it has the same time remaining as it has been running it gets a message "no jobs" or something along those lines04:30
sintraldiddo marty04:33
martygot the same problem?04:33
sintralmay be a permissions issue on the output directory04:33
sintralyes04:33
sintralfor me I myth runs as user myth rather than mythtv, but the dvd rip output folder was somewhere else (/var/? if I remember correctly)04:35
sintralwhere myth did not have write access. I changed the output dir in setup but never got a usable xvid file04:35
martyits probobly a temp folder until the final one is made04:36
martyjust a guess though04:36
martyi saw something about dvds containing bad blocks and installing wine to rip dvd's04:37
rhpot1991check the temp directory for mythdvd04:38
rhpot1991if you dvd has bad blocks try using ddrescue04:39
rhpot1991sudo apt-get insatll gddrescue04:39
rhpot1991but spell install right :)04:39
martywill i have to run a special command to rip the dvd04:41
martyor can it still be done just as easy in the myth front end04:41
rhpot1991ddrescue /dev/dvd NAME_OF.ISO NAME_OF.ISO.LOG04:41
rhpot1991then you can ^c and do the same command and it can resume from the log04:41
rhpot1991for some dvd's with bad copy protection it will choke on that stuff at the end, and you can just ^c and try your iso out, as you don't need those busted bits anyways04:42
martyim trying to market media servers so i need to eventually have it configured so a customer can easily do it...not selling mythubuntu either...and hopefully if things go well donate :)04:44
martyalso can ddrescue do a perfect rip?04:45
rhpot1991marty:  unfortunately its hard to be able to rip all dvd's and ddrescue does it best for trouble ones04:45
rhpot1991well perfect asides from those unreadable broken bits that aren't to standards anyways04:45
martyhow many dvds have bad bits?04:46
iamlindoroMost recent ones, as it's a method of copy prevention04:46
rhpot1991a method that once again hurts legitimate usage and the pirates still get their way04:48
rhpot1991don't even play back in some real dvd players04:48
sintralanyone else got ideas on tv playback issues?04:49
sintralit looks to be failing here: "Using protocol version 40 2008-06-04 23:49:03.988 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2008-06-04 23:49:03.988 Using protocol version 40 2008-06-04 23:49:05.085 GetEntryAt(-1) failed."04:50
martythe one im testing with it is the shawshank redemption...lol its an old one :)04:51
martyi think its the first dvd i ever bought04:51

Bob24hello07:40
Bob24could someone please help me with sharing?07:40
Bob24on Mythbuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp?07:41
Bob24is anyone here at the momennt?07:46
Bob24anyone there?09:06
Bob24hello10:02
Bob24anyone here?10:02
lagano10:05
laga:)10:05
Bob24hi laga10:06
Bob24how are ya?10:06
Bob24on Mythbuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp?10:06
lagatired but good. :)10:06
Bob24ok10:07
lagai don't know, i haven't set up an ftp server in a long time...10:07
lagai think vsftpd is all the rage these days10:07
Bob24ah ok10:07
lagabecause it's supposed to be more secure than the others10:07
lagabut i don't know if it's easy to set up10:07
Bob24im using pure ftp server and its working fine10:07
Bob24but i would just like to know how to setup seperate folders10:08
lagaah, so what's the problem?10:08
lagaah, i guess you'll have to look into the pureftpd documentation then10:08
Bob24i looked through it i cant find wat i was looking for :(10:09
Bob24on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp.10:37
hadsFTP is so 1990 :)10:42
Bob24what should i use?10:43
Bob24windows tranfer is very slow10:43
Bob24through ftp quicker but more complicated to setup share folders10:44
Bob24hads can u help me plz?10:48
hadsDepends what you want to do. On a LAN you would use NFS/Samba, over the 'net you would use SCP/SFTP10:48
Bob24on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp.10:52
Bob24thats what i would like todo10:52
* hads doesn't use FTP10:56
Bob24hmm ok10:57
Bob24wat u recomend i should do?10:57
hadsJust what I said.10:57
Bob24hads u their11:29
Bob24?11:30
Bob24could someone please tell me how you can link a folder to see other folders?11:30
hadsln11:38
Bob24so just say i want to link myth folder11:39
lagawell11:40
laganobody is gonna walk you through everything, you'll have to do some reading yourself :)11:40
Bob24would i do ln -s /home/ftpusers/myth (to) /nas211:40
Bob24will i be able to then view the nas2 folder in myth11:40
Bob24would this be the corect command?11:41
Bob24so no one can answer this question11:45
Bob24i do not understand the purpose of an irc when in ubuntu their is 1200 users and not one will even help they would just tell you to go and search for yourself, when i ask these questions, this already means that i have done a search and i would like a bit more info on it.11:48
Bob24same as this irc room11:48
hadsPeople on IRC are not your Mum, they aren't going to hold your hand. The reason people tell you to go search yourself is probably in the hopes that you will learn how to help yourself more effectively.12:02
Bob24u use this to make a symbolic link right to see the contents of user in myth correct: so like this sudo ln -s /user /home/ftpusers/myth12:05
hadshttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+create+symbolic+link12:07
Bob24i already solved it dw12:17
hadsI'm not.12:21
