kwilliamtgm4883_laptop: thanks for the reply.  I guess I'll just warn my roommates not to screw it up. ;-)00:40
hadsYeah, there's no multi-level access at the moment.00:41
kwilliamMight be a nice idea for the future.00:42
kwilliamSplit up into 3 levels: Read only (e.g. see lineup and watch streaming vids), Schedule recordings, and Full Admin screw-it-up ability. :-)00:43
kwilliam(As a suggestion)00:43
hadsI'm sure it's been suggested before, there's a feature request page on the mythtv wiki00:44
kwilliamI'll wait till I've had MythTV running for a while before I go making feature requests.  I like to get my bearings so I A) know wth I'm talking about and B) don't suggest things that either already exist or are already planned.00:46
hads:)00:46
tgm4883_laptopkwilliam, hads IIRC, it can't be done because of the way mythweb works01:07
tgm4883_laptopi've asked before in mythtv-users01:07
hadsYeah, from my memory of the code it would take a substatial re-write to enable multiple access levels.01:08
hadsAs it stands mythweb doesn't have any knowledge of users at all.01:08
kwilliamhm.  Well, that gives us something to look forward too at some point if they do a substantial rewrite01:08

rcampbelI think I have found a mythbuntu-specific bug - screensaver comes back on in mythgame after $DELAY because joypad doesn't trigger mouse or keyboard events. Guessing mythbuntu needs a patch for mythgame06:32
rcampbellast time I checked - the gnome screensaver disable patch hadn't been accepted by mythtv devs in trunk... has that changed?06:34
foxbunturcampbel, I dont know, but check with the mythtv devs/bug track ect they will prob be able to tell you if nothing else report the bug in LP and we can route/deal with it appropriately06:36
ThatOtherGuyMy PVR_150 irblaster/receiver combo is giving me endless amounts of shit and fail. Gogo ordering a serial blaster >_>12:24
squish102ThatOtherGuy is that with 8.04?12:32
ThatOtherGuyYea12:33
ThatOtherGuyCan get the remote to work but as soon as I set up the blaster, it stops12:33
ThatOtherGuyeven if I tell it not to load the lirc-pvr150 module and stick with the i2c, or visaversa12:34
squish102ive had endless shit and fail with multiple usb ir receivers since going to 8.0412:34
ThatOtherGuythis is the old standard 150, not the mce - no USB anything12:34
ThatOtherGuyfrom what I can find on the intarwebs, nobody can coax anything but endless shit and fail out of the pvr-150 non-mce12:42
lagasquish102: we didnt see a bug report from that12:44
lagawhere "we" is the ubuntu guys ;)12:45
squish102laga i would not know how to report a bug, as all I am doing is following a myth wiki page and i get to the point of running an irw and get nothing12:57
squish102can i report a bug with those details?12:57
squish102http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_firefly_mini < that is the page i was following12:58
squish102and it all worked before the upgrade, and even with a fresh install of 8.04 i cannot get it to work12:58
squish102everything works up until: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_firefly_mini#Configure_lirc the part about irw12:59
lagasquish102: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc - include what you did, why you think it shouldn't work, if it worked before with the same config etc13:05
squish102laga, im going to try a live cd with 7.10 to confirm that it works 100%13:09
squish102(although from googling, i think i will be doing what many people have done before)13:09
squish102thanks for the link, i will try create something meaningful13:10
squish102without recompiling the latest lirc so that i can put in debug mode to figure out13:10
squish102although for a different remote, i may try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/20496013:18
tearoris it possible to use something different than nvram wakeup in mythwelcome? i use /proc/acpi/alarm (although it's an newer kernel) but the mythtv-mythwelcome-wiki has only information about nvram-wakeup14:58
SMutMoin!15:13
SMutAnybody in the mood to give some advice?15:14
SMutI set up mythbuntu 8.04 on a 64 bit machine.15:14
SMutUsed DVB-S Device is a Terratec cinergy 1200 DVB-S15:15
SMutI already scanned some channels, filled the database.15:15
SMutBackend seems to be okay, but:15:16
SMutWhen I am using the frontend, DVDs play fine, but I can't watch TV.15:16
SMutWhen I press on the button, the screen goes black for a second and bounces back to the menu.15:17
SMutAny hints what I've missed during setup?15:17
SMut...15:17
SMutby the way, /var/log/messages shows nothing.15:19
jphillip!blankscreen | SMut15:34
ZinnSMut: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory.  It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory15:34
SMutZinn: I'll check this.15:46
tearori don't get the part in the mythtv-mythwelcom wiki about mythshutdown with acpi. i configured the backend to use mythshutdown. then i put the echo $time > /porc/acpi/alarm command into the mythwelcome settings15:48
tearorbut in the wiki it says mythshutdown only uses time_t15:48
SMutZinn: you made my day :-)15:48
tearori can't find a script to change time_t into utc15:49
tearorand the "--settime <time_t>"-line, where do i have to insert it? after the echo $time > /proc/acpi/alarm command?15:51

tim__i need to record 400+ cctv security cameras simultaneously.  Is myth a good match for this need?  if so... does it support recording mpeg4 streams from IP cameras?  is there a more appropriate software package for my need? thanks16:16
squish102tim__ did you look at http://www.zoneminder.com/ ?16:24
tim__squish: i hadn't looked at it.  do you think that's more appropriate?16:28
tim__squish:  just looked it up.... it claims to NOT support mpeg streams16:32
squish102tim__ i thought i read that the network cameras supported mpeg streaming16:44
squish102Supports live video in mpeg video, multi-part jpeg and stills formats.16:46
=== superm1|away is now known as superm1
tim__squish:  where did u find that?  Here's what I found under their "to do"... Support mpeg video as an input. This is easy to pick up if it’s a tcp stream, but a bit more of a pain if it’s over udp16:51
squish102tim__ i have never tried getting network camera's running on zoneminder, why not try join #zoneminder, i'm sure you will get more help there16:54
tim__thanks much.16:58
