Nostahlim setting up frontend for first time00:40
Nostahlits askin me to set this auto generated password in the mysql db on the backend00:40
Nostahli dont see any documentation on how to do that on the site?00:40
rhpot1991superm1: I can do that, he is smart enough to have features specific channels so we just need to know what happens where00:44

mcquaidi say most cause it will work but rarely. have to keep trying04:20
mcquaidseeing lots of these errors: Timed out waiting for free video buffers04:20

harmony3264Does anyone know if an AMD64 frontend is compatible with an i386 backend, and vice versa?05:04
hadsYes, will be fine. The myth protocol is independant05:09
cesmanso long as you are using the same protocol version on both ;)05:19
hadsIndeed :)05:21
=== |gandhii| is now known as gandhii
harmony3264thanks!  protocol means myth version number or just sql schema or something else?05:27
harmony3264I've installed mythbuntu hardy i386 on one machine as primary backend with frontend AND mythbuntu hardy amd64 on another machine as secondary backend with frontend.  so that should be ok?05:29
Zinnharmony3264: Please watch your language.05:29
rhpot1991hmmmmm, wonder what made that happen05:30
harmony3264it's english but how do i "watch it"?05:30
hadsheh you're a sensitive little bot aren't you Zinn05:32
harmony3264maybe it's into puns about backends?05:32
hadsharmony3264: Yeah, myth version number basically, the protocol has versions but they don't chnage often.05:33
harmony3264when i try to watch live tv, i get lots of errors like this:      2008-06-29 19:50:16.839 Error: offset>181, pes length & current can not be queried05:34
* rhpot1991 shakes his head05:44
rhpot1991apparently it found the phrase hard on inside your sentence05:44
Zinnrhpot1991: Please watch your language.05:44
harmony3264rhpot1991: i think you've proved it!05:45
rhpot1991harmony3264: ya took me a while to debug that05:45
harmony3264the error offset... is in the local (secondary) backend.05:46
harmony3264the frontend log on same machine says:    2008-06-29 20:35:21.789 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.2.200:6543 (try 1 of 5)05:47
harmony32642008-06-29 20:35:21.790 Using protocol version 4005:47
harmony3264can't find anything in the master's backend log about this failure.   just exited mythfrontend, restarted it, selected "watch tv" and checked the master's backend log again but it didn't change at all.  is that right, no logging on remote frontend connect and failure of a user request (watch tv)?05:57
cesmanharmony3264: is mysql on the backend configured to accept connections?06:09
harmony3264cesman:  yes, at least it has worked from a frontend-only laptop.06:10
harmony3264cesman:  actually i just tested that again and it just flashes for a moment and returns to the menu just like my new machine.06:11
cesmanharmony3264: then perhaps you should start your trouble shooting there...06:21
harmony3264cesman:  thank you.06:27
cesmanyou're welcome06:29
lagacesman: hey. nice to see you in here :)06:33
cesmanhello laga06:34
cesmannice to be seen06:35
lagaheh06:35
harmony64322sorry for the double name (harmony3264), i switched to the master backend machine in the other room.  this one was working fine until it filled its data hard drive.  now the backend log keeps looping with errors like:   2008-06-30 02:04:33.334 AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 1.0 GB w/freq: 15 min07:14

harmony64322eno: Permission denied (13)07:14
hadsLooks like the mythtv user which runs the backend doesn't have permission to write inside your home directory.07:15
hadsI believe that's a fairly common problem people run into.07:16
harmony64322hads:  thanks.  yes, getting the permissions set up right has been a trial.  i haven't changed anything since it successfully wrote the files it now says it can't delete.  now the permissions are:    drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 16384 2008-06-30 01:33 recordings07:17
harmony64322does it always run as mythtv or could a different id be used for this clean up task?07:19
hadsIt runs as the same user as the backend which is mythtv usually on a mythbuntu install I believe.07:19
hadsYou could of course shit the recordings to the mythtv homedir or a neutral location.07:20
harmony64322maybe this has complicated things:  i put all the data on a raid array.07:21
hadsUmm, oh dear. add an f at the appropriate place in that sentance.07:21
hadsAnd that didn't get the bot going? hah.07:22
harmony64322yeah, i'm surprised zinn hasn't barked!07:22
hadsThe fact that they are on a RAID array doesn't really make a difference, it just depends on the directory tree permissions.07:23
harmony64322the recordings are too big to move.  i just thought by deviating from the standard install, that may have introduced the permissions problems.07:24
hadsWell yes and no. The RAID doesn't come into it, just the fact that you shifted the recording directory inside your home is causing the permissions issues.07:25
harmony64322anyway, mythtv does have write permissions, yes?  and that's all that's needed to delete, correct?07:25
hadsWhat's does `ls -ls /home/me/Data/mythtv/recordings/` show07:26
hadsand also `ls -l /home/me/Data/mythtv/recordings/1312_20080525020009.mpg`07:26
hadsBah, that should be `ls -ld /home/me/Data/mythtv/recordings/`07:27
* hads is having trouble with his fingers tonight07:27
harmony64322hads:  thanks, i think i see at least part of it.  some of the files it can't delete don't have write permission and it looks like they were created before i fixed the permissions on this directory awhile ago, eg  the first one here (though the dates seem like they're the same age?):     -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv  3675444180 2008-06-21 21:40 1041_20080621205651.mpg07:30

superm1cesman, what brings you to these parts?07:32
hadsharmony64322: Well yeah, looks like you found your problem. You'll need to give mythtv permission to write to those files so it can do what it will with them.07:35
harmony64322hads:  but it created those files, how can it have done that without having permission?07:35

hadsThat's owned by you, not mythtv.07:37
harmony64322hads:  yes, but how did it get that way?07:38
* hads shrugs07:38
hadsMaybe you ran mythbackend as yourself one day.07:39
hadsTime for me to go make dinner07:39
harmony64322does it matter if i start the frontend or backend from the command line or from applications menu?07:39
harmony64322hads:  ok, thats very much for your help!07:39
harmony64322thats = thanks!07:40
hadsYes, that does matter, if you're starting mythbackend from the command line as yourself then it will create files as you, not the mythtv user.07:42

sebrock_any clues?19:49
sebrock_I checked if it was muted but it did not appear that way19:49
