[00:14] Yah, new frontend goes. [00:14] hey people - how do i browse my music collection? i only seem to be able to play *all* tracks or no tracks... [00:14] mythmusic is a little weird. [00:15] It's a number key from memory to choose your playlist. [00:16] well the number 3 lets me choose my playlist, but i get 4 options, and only one of them works - All Tracks! [00:16] the other options do nothing... [00:16] and a brief question - is mythTV a long, long way from being "simple" for the average user migrating from Windows Media Center? [00:16] it certainly seems to be... [00:17] mythtv is significantly more featured, and mythmusic's ui sorta sucks. [00:18] The UI is fine for mythtv main and mythvideo, the rest is a little confusing probably. [00:18] 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! [00:19] i guess i'll have to play around with it some more... [00:19] time for bed now though... see ya! === noisymim1 is now known as noisymime === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [01:49] 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? [07:14] morning, anyone here using skystar2 (rev 2.6d) with mythubuntu, or any other dist ? [07:16] is it possible to obtain the comcast channel listings using mythtv? [07:18] i am trying with dvt tuner card setup, with my video sources grabbing from tranmitted guide (eit), using us-cable as my frequency table [07:19] when i scan for channels i use cable high as my frequency and qam256 for my modulation (which is what comcast uses i believe) [07:20] !help [07:20] 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] !help comcast [07:20] he is not friendly [07:20] !comcast [07:20] Sorry I don't know about comcast [07:24] !schedulesdirect [07:24] Sorry I don't know about schedulesdirect [07:24] imabox, you need schedules direct [07:26] its not possible to get comcast channel listings? [07:26] ah [07:27] providing that your comcast provider transmits the EIT listings, you should be able to receive them [07:27] I unfortunatly, can't help you with that [07:27] i believe they do, but for some reason when i scan i timeout and it displays my signal strength at zero [11:14] hey people - does anyone know of a cheap wireless (Radio) keyboard with built in mouse? [16:16] anyone have a blueray player in their mythbox? === superm1 is now known as superm1|away === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [20:34] hello wise ones, is there a size limit when transferring a file from myth to a usb drive? [20:37] 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] MythbuntuGuest05, what is the filesystem on the usb drive? [20:38] probably fat32, which doesn't allow files larger than 4GB [20:38] IIRC [20:40] I thought fat32 was 2gb [20:40] could be wrong [20:41] yes it clips at exactly 4gig [20:42] jphillip, nope thats fat16, fat32 is 4GB. Wikipedia backs that up [20:42] MythbuntuGuest05, then you will need to reformat that drive to something else [20:42] once again quick and accurate with the answers, thanks guys [20:42] np [21:28] MythbuntuGuest05, ntfs. no size limit, and works fine on modern linux [21:37] directhex, how would you feel about having recordings on ntfs? [21:38] are there noticable arguments against it? [21:39] superm1, i wouldn't be too stressed about it, but ntfs fragments badly [21:42] superm1: why reason _for_ having it? [21:50] That would be weird. [21:53] just xfs it up unless you need to touch it with windows [21:56] XFS vs JFS is a worthwhile debate.. just avoid ext2/3 IMO [21:58] I use JFS myself. [22:05] How can I get videos to continue to play while I'm in the menu's? As in browsing files and things? [22:06] afaik you can only have live-tv continue to play while browsing the EPG ... [22:07] oh, ok [22:08] 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? [22:10] I think there's a setting for that somewhere. [22:11] I've been looking, and can't find it though [22:11] what is that setting, i have not found a setting that does that either [22:11] 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 [22:24] Daviey, because it'd be neat to do wubi frontend+backend [22:24] but that would require that you mount the drive w/ write access to ntfs too [22:33] superm1: i see! [22:34] Daviey, for now what will hopefully go in 8.10 will be a frontend option in ubiquity [22:34] it's very close to fully functional [22:35] *er wubi [22:35] already in ubiquity ;) [22:54] superm1: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html .. looks compariable.. [22:55] lookup is slow.. [22:55] Daviey, here's the debate: xfs works, jfs eats babies [22:56] directhex, is that a bug or feature? [22:57] Daviey, well it won't hurt to at least try [22:57] ntfs-3g would catch up and the rest of the framework would be ready then [22:57] directhex: xfs corrupted recently for me.. [22:58] well to be fair.. it was HD failure, and the fact you can't reduce an XFS LVM caused issues [22:58] Daviey, whereas i've lost jfs 3 times in a year [22:58] on different machines with redundant disks & ecc memory [22:59] hmm [22:59] irrelevant to wubi.. but we've avoided MurderFS [22:59] no, reiser3 only murders HIS wife, not yours [22:59] safe for users [22:59] \o/ [23:00] irony: reiser is the fs i've had fewest data losses with [23:00] I haven't forgiven resierFS for losing me data, years ago [23:00] I suspect it's better than that now [23:01] now it hides your data and waits for a plea bargin? [23:01] heh [23:26] 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? [23:27] yes [23:29] directhex, i'm on IMDB right now, but i can't find the video number... [23:31] address bar [23:31] oooh... duh.... God damn I'm stupid sometimes [23:31] thanks
