[00:14] <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.
[00:15] <hads> It's a number key from memory to choose your playlist.
[00:16] <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...
[00:17] <directhex> mythtv is significantly more featured, and mythmusic's ui sorta sucks.
[00:18] <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!
[00:19] <fishsponge_> i guess i'll have to play around with it some more...
[00:19] <fishsponge_> time for bed now though... see ya!
[01:49] <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?
[07:14] <cann> morning, anyone here using skystar2 (rev 2.6d) with mythubuntu, or any other dist ?
[07:16] <imabox> is it possible to obtain the comcast channel listings using mythtv?
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <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)
[07:20] <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
[07:24] <tgm4883_laptop> !schedulesdirect
[07:24] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about schedulesdirect
[07:24] <tgm4883_laptop> imabox, you need schedules direct
[07:26] <imabox> its not possible to get comcast channel listings?
[07:26] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[07:27] <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
[11:14] <fishsponge> hey people - does anyone know of a cheap wireless (Radio) keyboard with built in mouse?
[16:16] <jphillip> anyone have a blueray player in their mythbox?
[20:34] <MythbuntuGuest05> hello wise ones, is there a size limit when transferring a file from myth to a usb drive?
[20:37] <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?
[20:38] <tgm4883_laptop> probably fat32, which doesn't allow files larger than 4GB
[20:38] <tgm4883_laptop> IIRC
[20:40] <jphillip> I thought fat32 was 2gb
[20:40] <jphillip> could be wrong
[20:41] <MythbuntuGuest05> yes it clips at exactly 4gig
[20:42] <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
[21:28] <directhex> MythbuntuGuest05, ntfs. no size limit, and works fine on modern linux
[21:37] <superm1> directhex, how would you feel about having recordings on ntfs?
[21:38] <superm1> are there noticable arguments against it?
[21:39] <directhex> superm1, i wouldn't be too stressed about it, but ntfs fragments badly
[21:42] <Daviey> superm1: why reason _for_ having it?
[21:50] <hads> That would be weird.
[21:53] <jphillip> just xfs it up unless you need to touch it with windows
[21:56] <Daviey> XFS vs JFS is a worthwhile debate.. just avoid ext2/3 IMO
[21:58] <hads> I use JFS myself.
[22:05] <bobbob1016> How can I get videos to continue to play while I'm in the menu's?  As in browsing files and things?
[22:06] <zabbadapp> afaik you can only have live-tv continue to play while browsing the EPG ...
[22:07] <bobbob1016> oh, ok
[22:08] <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?
[22:10] <hads> I think there's a setting for that somewhere.
[22:11] <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
[22:24] <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
[22:33] <Daviey> superm1: i see!
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <superm1> *er wubi
[22:35] <superm1> already in ubiquity ;)
[22:54] <Daviey> superm1: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html .. looks compariable..
[22:55] <Daviey> lookup is slow..
[22:55] <directhex> Daviey, here's the debate: xfs works, jfs eats babies
[22:56] <tgm4883_laptop> directhex, is that a bug or feature?
[22:57] <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..
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <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/
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <tgm4883_laptop> now it hides your data and waits for a plea bargin?
[23:01] <Daviey> heh
[23:26] <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?
[23:27] <directhex> yes
[23:29] <balz> directhex, i'm on IMDB right now, but i can't find the video number...
[23:31] <directhex> address bar
[23:31] <balz> oooh... duh.... God damn I'm stupid sometimes
[23:31] <balz> thanks
