| hads | Yah, new frontend goes. | 00:14 |

| fishsponge_ | hey people - how do i browse my music collection? i only seem to be able to play *all* tracks or no tracks... | 00:14 |
| hads | mythmusic is a little weird. | 00:14 |
| hads | It's a number key from memory to choose your playlist. | 00:15 |
| fishsponge_ | well the number 3 lets me choose my playlist, but i get 4 options, and only one of them works - All Tracks! | 00:16 |
| fishsponge_ | the other options do nothing... | 00:16 |
| fishsponge_ | and a brief question - is mythTV a long, long way from being "simple" for the average user migrating from Windows Media Center? | 00:16 |
| fishsponge_ | it certainly seems to be... | 00:16 |
| directhex | mythtv is significantly more featured, and mythmusic's ui sorta sucks. | 00:17 |
| hads | The UI is fine for mythtv main and mythvideo, the rest is a little confusing probably. | 00:18 |
| fishsponge_ | hmm... how annoying... mainly because alhough MythTV seems to know what my tuner card is, it just doesn't pick up any channels, whereas it did with Windows XP! | 00:18 |
| fishsponge_ | i guess i'll have to play around with it some more... | 00:19 |
| fishsponge_ | time for bed now though... see ya! | 00:19 |

| frank23 | is there a way to create a recording rule where only episodes with a title are recording and the generic ones (unspecified episode) are ignored? | 01:49 |
| cann | morning, anyone here using skystar2 (rev 2.6d) with mythubuntu, or any other dist ? | 07:14 |
| imabox | is it possible to obtain the comcast channel listings using mythtv? | 07:16 |
| imabox | i am trying with dvt tuner card setup, with my video sources grabbing from tranmitted guide (eit), using us-cable as my frequency table | 07:18 |
| imabox | when i scan for channels i use cable high as my frequency and qam256 for my modulation (which is what comcast uses i believe) | 07:19 |
| imabox | !help | 07:20 |
| Zinn | Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi | 07:20 |
| imabox | !help comcast | 07:20 |
| imabox | he is not friendly | 07:20 |
| imabox | !comcast | 07:20 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about comcast | 07:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !schedulesdirect | 07:24 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about schedulesdirect | 07:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | imabox, you need schedules direct | 07:24 |
| imabox | its not possible to get comcast channel listings? | 07:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 07:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | providing that your comcast provider transmits the EIT listings, you should be able to receive them | 07:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I unfortunatly, can't help you with that | 07:27 |
| imabox | i believe they do, but for some reason when i scan i timeout and it displays my signal strength at zero | 07:27 |
| fishsponge | hey people - does anyone know of a cheap wireless (Radio) keyboard with built in mouse? | 11:14 |
| jphillip | anyone have a blueray player in their mythbox? | 16:16 |

| MythbuntuGuest05 | hello wise ones, is there a size limit when transferring a file from myth to a usb drive? | 20:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | i am trying to pull a 4.5 gig file from my var/lib/mythtv/videos folder and put it on a passport drive that has 92 gigs available and it fails saying (file too large.) | 20:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest05, what is the filesystem on the usb drive? | 20:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | probably fat32, which doesn't allow files larger than 4GB | 20:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC | 20:38 |
| jphillip | I thought fat32 was 2gb | 20:40 |
| jphillip | could be wrong | 20:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | yes it clips at exactly 4gig | 20:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | jphillip, nope thats fat16, fat32 is 4GB. Wikipedia backs that up | 20:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest05, then you will need to reformat that drive to something else | 20:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | once again quick and accurate with the answers, thanks guys | 20:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | np | 20:42 |
| directhex | MythbuntuGuest05, ntfs. no size limit, and works fine on modern linux | 21:28 |
| superm1 | directhex, how would you feel about having recordings on ntfs? | 21:37 |
| superm1 | are there noticable arguments against it? | 21:38 |
| directhex | superm1, i wouldn't be too stressed about it, but ntfs fragments badly | 21:39 |
| Daviey | superm1: why reason _for_ having it? | 21:42 |
| hads | That would be weird. | 21:50 |
| jphillip | just xfs it up unless you need to touch it with windows | 21:53 |
| Daviey | XFS vs JFS is a worthwhile debate.. just avoid ext2/3 IMO | 21:56 |
| hads | I use JFS myself. | 21:58 |
| bobbob1016 | How can I get videos to continue to play while I'm in the menu's? As in browsing files and things? | 22:05 |
| zabbadapp | afaik you can only have live-tv continue to play while browsing the EPG ... | 22:06 |
| bobbob1016 | oh, ok | 22:07 |
| bobbob1016 | Also, how would I get myth to auto-reindex a folder when I open it, instead of me having to go into video manager to get it to update it's video list? | 22:08 |
| hads | I think there's a setting for that somewhere. | 22:10 |
| bobbob1016 | I've been looking, and can't find it though | 22:11 |
| MythbuntuGuest05 | what is that setting, i have not found a setting that does that either | 22:11 |
| jphillip | Daviey I still use ext3 for file systems, I have some belief that its more recoverable though I seem to be able to trash it well enough | 22:11 |
| superm1 | Daviey, because it'd be neat to do wubi frontend+backend | 22:24 |
| superm1 | but that would require that you mount the drive w/ write access to ntfs too | 22:24 |
| Daviey | superm1: i see! | 22:33 |
| superm1 | Daviey, for now what will hopefully go in 8.10 will be a frontend option in ubiquity | 22:34 |
| superm1 | it's very close to fully functional | 22:34 |
| superm1 | *er wubi | 22:35 |
| superm1 | already in ubiquity ;) | 22:35 |
| Daviey | superm1: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html .. looks compariable.. | 22:54 |
| Daviey | lookup is slow.. | 22:55 |
| directhex | Daviey, here's the debate: xfs works, jfs eats babies | 22:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | directhex, is that a bug or feature? | 22:56 |
| superm1 | Daviey, well it won't hurt to at least try | 22:57 |
| superm1 | ntfs-3g would catch up and the rest of the framework would be ready then | 22:57 |
| Daviey | directhex: xfs corrupted recently for me.. | 22:57 |
| Daviey | well to be fair.. it was HD failure, and the fact you can't reduce an XFS LVM caused issues | 22:58 |
| directhex | Daviey, whereas i've lost jfs 3 times in a year | 22:58 |
| directhex | on different machines with redundant disks & ecc memory | 22:58 |
| Daviey | hmm | 22:59 |
| Daviey | irrelevant to wubi.. but we've avoided MurderFS | 22:59 |
| directhex | no, reiser3 only murders HIS wife, not yours | 22:59 |
| directhex | safe for users | 22:59 |
| Daviey | \o/ | 22:59 |
| directhex | irony: reiser is the fs i've had fewest data losses with | 23:00 |
| Daviey | I haven't forgiven resierFS for losing me data, years ago | 23:00 |
| Daviey | I suspect it's better than that now | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now it hides your data and waits for a plea bargin? | 23:01 |
| Daviey | heh | 23:01 |
| balz | I'm trying to add a video in the video manager, but it can't find the title online. If i were to manually enter the video number, where could I get this nubmer from? IMDB? | 23:26 |
| directhex | yes | 23:27 |
| balz | directhex, i'm on IMDB right now, but i can't find the video number... | 23:29 |
| directhex | address bar | 23:31 |
| balz | oooh... duh.... God damn I'm stupid sometimes | 23:31 |
| balz | thanks | 23:31 |
