[00:16] <BassKozz> I setup a READ-ONLY samba share on my NAS box to share videos on my MythTV box, I went into my frontend and added the path to "Utilities/Setup>Setup>Media Settings>Videos Settings>General Settings>Directories that hold videos:" to "/var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/{NAS samba share}/" Then I go back to the frontend's main menu and "Media Library>Watch Videos" still shows "No Videos"
[00:17] <BassKozz> What am I doing wrong here? p.s. This share has multiple directories that contain video's (i.e. Movies, TV, Documentaries, etc...) I have no trouble playing the videos by navigating to them and opening them up in nautilus.
[00:19] <rhpot1991> BassKozz: need to add them via the video manager in setup
[00:21] <BassKozz> rhpot1991, thx, i'll check it out
[00:22] <BassKozz> rhpot1991, nothing showing up in video manager either :(
[00:22] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, did you allow read permissions for your MythTV daemon user?
[00:23] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, not sure, how can I check?
[00:23] <foxbuntu> ls -l on your samba share
[00:24] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, usually best option is to add the mythtv group as owner
[00:25] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, so: sudo chmod <uid>:mythtv /path/to/_smb_mount
[00:25] <rhpot1991> mythtv:mythtv as the owner and 775 as the permissions is a good idea
[00:25] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, not 775
[00:25] <rhpot1991> foxbuntu: since when?
[00:25] <foxbuntu> unless its a dir
[00:25] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, why add execute to video files?
[00:26] <rhpot1991> foxbuntu: true
[00:26] <foxbuntu> 775 on the root perhaps
[00:26] <BassKozz>  should I run ?"sudo chmod <uid>:mythtv /path/to/_smb_mount"
[00:26] <BassKozz> it's a read-only share neways
[00:26] <rhpot1991> ya 775 on the dir
[00:27] <rhpot1991> looks like 666 or 644 on the files
[00:27] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, yes, obviously you need to replace the path and, uid with your username
[00:27] <Mostr> hi gang. anyone one with experience with an irblaster on a serial port?
[00:28] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, how do I find the uid for mythtv?
[00:28] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, its whatever user you setup originally at install
[00:28] <BassKozz> ohh ok
[00:29] <foxbuntu> you can user mythtv:mythtv, but i suggest using your own username
[00:29] <foxbuntu> so, your_user:mythtv
[00:29] <BassKozz> chmod: invalid mode: `basskozz:mythtv'
[00:29] <rhpot1991> chown
[00:30] <BassKozz> ohh yeah
[00:30] <BassKozz> :p
[00:30] <rhpot1991> looks like my videos are 644 owned by my user and that works fine
[00:30] <rhpot1991> recordings are 666 owned by mythtv
[00:30] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, I think the permissions should be more like 661
[00:30] <BassKozz> chown: changing ownership of `/media/nas_samba_share/': Input/output error
[00:30] <msaul>  can anyone help me when I can't use LP/EP/SP when using mytharchive onto a single layer DVD?
[00:30] <msaul>   I can burn the DVD when I select "Don't Re-encode', but ffmpeg errors when I select EP/LP/SP...
[00:31] <rhpot1991> foxbuntu: why 661? that doesn't make much sense
[00:31] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, you probably need to change the way you have your samba server setup
[00:31] <rhpot1991> foxbuntu: why do I want anyone to execute but not read?
[00:32] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, read/write (owner) read/write (group) read (other)
[00:32] <rhpot1991> or are you being a smart ass
[00:32] <Zinn> rhpot1991: Please watch your language.
[00:32] <BassKozz> ohh I know why, I have my smb.conf setup w/ username = basskozz, I need to add mythtv
[00:32] <rhpot1991> 664 foxbuntu
[00:32] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, oh right
[00:32] <rhpot1991> foxbuntu: looks like by default the videos are 666 and images are 644
[00:32] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, sorry, wrong octets
[00:32] <foxbuntu> er
[00:32] <foxbuntu> octals
[00:33] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, 664 works
[00:33] <rhpot1991> thanks for saving me foxbuntu I was chmoding files 775 in my script
[00:33] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, yes, I only know because of all the times superm1 kicked my arse for doing it
[00:33] <Zinn> foxbuntu: Please watch your language.
[00:33] <foxbuntu> :)
[00:33] <rhpot1991> heh
[00:33] <foxbuntu> wow
[00:34] <rhpot1991> hmmm when did I add that
[00:34] <foxbuntu> ZInn knows arse?
[00:34] <Zinn> foxbuntu: Please watch your language.
[00:34] <rhpot1991> I think Daviey complained that we didn't catch british curses
[00:34] <foxbuntu> thats really a birtish curse?
[00:34] <rhpot1991> means ass in brit
[00:34] <Zinn> rhpot1991: Please watch your language.
[00:34] <rhpot1991> quiet zinn
[00:34] <foxbuntu> I didnt know...
[00:34] <foxbuntu> intresting
[00:35] <foxbuntu> anyways
[00:35] <foxbuntu> yes, only use 775 on dirs, and 664 on files (except exec files obviously)
[00:36] <rhpot1991> !blank%
[00:36] <Zinn> 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 directory
[00:36] <rhpot1991> ok thats good
[00:37] <foxbuntu> yea
[00:37] <foxbuntu> other than people should stay away from doing that chmod -R
[00:38] <BassKozz> still not letting me chown :-(, shouldn't it still be accessible because permissions Others=Read ?
[00:39] <Daviey> Grrrrrrrrrrr
[00:40] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, not to change permissions if your samba share is setup read-only (not the files, the actual share on the server)
[00:40] <foxbuntu> Daviey, ?
[00:42] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, what do you mean?  The share on my NAS box is setup to share READ-ONLY, and I've mounted the share on my MythTV box using fstab
[00:43] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, you say NAS, but is it a machine with shared storage, or an actual NAS? (people tend to interchange the terms)
[00:43] <BassKozz> Ubuntu 8.10 machine w/ shared storage
[00:44] <foxbuntu> so, box with storage, not NAS
[00:44] <foxbuntu> :)
[00:44] <BassKozz> yes :p
[00:44] <BassKozz> it was easier to use "NAS" and "MYTHTV" to define the boxes as not on-in-the-same
[00:44] <foxbuntu> ok, on that machine, you need to setup the share as read/write, then change the permissions as needed from the machine you mount it on
[00:44] <BassKozz> *one-in-the-same
[00:45] <BassKozz> ok... brb, Thx
[00:45] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, sorry, not with me, my day job is a Network Engineer, so its hard for me to help when I dont know what you are talking about
[00:48] <BassKozz> I assume I need to add a user 'mythtv' on my "box with storage", what should I set the password too?
[00:48] <BassKozz> or leave it blank?
[00:49] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, no
[00:49] <foxbuntu> as I said before, change the share from read-only, to read-write
[00:50] <foxbuntu> then change the permissions from the machine you are mounting the share on
[00:50] <BassKozz> ok... brb
[00:54] <BassKozz> ok did all that now I am getting a new one: "chown: changing ownership of `/media/share/': Permission denied" before it said I/O error
[00:54] <BassKozz> and I used sudo
[01:00] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, hmm...been awhile since I delt with samba... BassKozz why not just setup a secondary BE on the other box and let mythtv do the work for you?
[01:01] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, a seoncdary BE can setup a storage group and then you dont have to mess with all of this
[01:01] <BassKozz> That's a thought, I kinda wanted to keep mythtv off that box thou if at all possible... right now I am just experimenting with MythTV on a spare pc, when I am more comfortable w/it I will put it on there...
[01:02] <BassKozz> here is my fstab line: //shareip/mythtv /media/share   smbfs  auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user   0 0
[01:02] <BassKozz> where I've already set /root/.credentials to the proper user/pass
[01:02] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, ah
[01:03] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, you see something?
[01:03] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, you need to set that user to Owner will full permissions (of the actual files, from the machine hosting the files)
[01:03] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, you jarred loose some more info
[01:04] <BassKozz> ahh ok, I think I understand what your saying... brb...
[01:05] <Mostr> anyone have experience with a serial ir blaster? mine seems to initialize, but doesn't want to change channels on my box.
[01:07] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, that did the trick, now chown works, but still nothing is showing up in video manager :(
[01:08] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, did you change the path of the video files in the setup for mythtv?
[01:08] <BassKozz> Also "sudo chown basskozz:mythtv /media/share/" works but "sudo chown mythtv /media/share/" does not ?
[01:08] <BassKozz> yeah, the path never changed
[01:09] <BassKozz> I just umounted and remounted using mount -a
[01:09] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, so you changed it from the default correct?
[01:10] <BassKozz> What do you mean "changed from default"?
[01:10] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, what does this output: ls -l /media/
[01:11] <Mostr> are there any utilities I can use to test the output of the irblaster? something like irw reads the remote sensor, so something for a blaster?
[01:11] <BassKozz> http://pastebin.com/d6e217659
[01:11] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, in the MythTV settings, the path for "Videos" defaults to /var/lib/mythtv/videos (iirc)
[01:12] <foxbuntu> Mostr, google it, you'll find what you seek
[01:12] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, yeah, mine is set to "/var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/share/"
[01:12] <Mostr> I've been googling, and in one post it says to disable the kernel support for the serial port, and in another it says not to.
[01:13] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, I assume by share you mean "Movies"
[01:14] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, or is this pastebin inside the share?
[01:14] <BassKozz> correct pastebin inside the share
[01:14] <foxbuntu> ah
[01:15] <BassKozz> http://pastebin.com/d24e0b86e
[01:15] <BassKozz> so multiple folders w/ various types (i.e. Movies, TV, Documentaries, Music)
[01:15] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, well do this: sudo chown -R basskozz:mythtv /media/share/
[01:15] <BassKozz> ok...
[01:16] <foxbuntu> then set your videos folder to /media/share/Movies
[01:16] <vizo1> tgm4883: u there?
[01:18] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, did that, still a no-go, but the movies dir only contains other dir's of movies (DVD backups), not the actual media files
[01:18] <BassKozz> so do I have to create one for each and every directory
[01:18] <BassKozz> :-O
[01:19] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, thats ok, MythTV will figure it out from there
[01:19] <foxbuntu> ls -l /media/share/ again
[01:19] <BassKozz> OK well, It still not showing up in the Video Manager :(
[01:19] <BassKozz> ok...
[01:19] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, you are going to Settings > Video Manager correct?
[01:20] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, http://pastebin.com/d560edc01
[01:21] <foxbuntu> BassKozz, that looks better
[01:21] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, correct "Settings>Video Manager"
[01:21] <foxbuntu> are you going out an back in each time?
[01:21] <foxbuntu> it only checks on load
[01:22] <foxbuntu> unless there is some refresh button I am not thinking of :)
[01:23] <BassKozz> by "out an back" you mean closing out frontend, and reopening, then yes... but I am not shuting down the backend however
[01:23] <foxbuntu> no no
[01:23] <foxbuntu> you only have to go back to the menu
[01:23] <foxbuntu> then back into video manager
[01:23] <BassKozz> ohh, well I did both
[01:23] <BassKozz> :p
[01:24] <BassKozz> still nothing showing in video manager :(
[01:24] <foxbuntu> ok, try running video manager, then run this and post the output: tail -n 50 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[01:25] <BassKozz> wait I think I got it...
[01:25] <foxbuntu> ok...what did you change?
[01:26] <BassKozz> I changed the "Directories that hold videos" from "/var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/share/Movies" to just "/media/share/Movies" and now they are showing up :-D
[01:26] <BassKozz> I wounder why the semi-colon isn't working?
[01:27] <BassKozz> err "colon"
[01:27] <BassKozz> the wiki said that should work: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend
[01:27] <foxbuntu> I havent tried it like that, but it should as far as i know
[01:29] <foxbuntu> oh
[01:29] <foxbuntu> did you use spaces?
[01:29] <foxbuntu> as you listed it in here?
[01:29] <BassKozz> yup
[01:29] <BassKozz> no_spaces ?
[01:29] <foxbuntu> /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/share/Movies != /var/lib/mythtv/videos/:/media/share/Movies
[01:30] <BassKozz> ahhh, ok, !DOH!
[01:30] <BassKozz> !slap BassKozz for using spaces
[01:30] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about slap BassKozz for using spaces
[01:30] <tgm4883> vizo1, pong

[01:32] <vizo1> then  some errors but I cant  read the screen it brings up cause it freezes
[01:33] <vizo1> have to dump out of the front end  to go back to normal
[01:33] <vizo1> any ideas
[01:33] <vizo1> ?
[01:33] <tgm4883> vizo1, start the frontend from the command line, but if I had to guess, its your hulu xml file
[01:33] <tgm4883> something is wrong with it
[01:39] <vizo1> sticking on Excuting : gethulu.pl
[01:39] <vizo1> then nothing
[01:40] <vizo1> I notice if I run gethulu.pl from command line
[01:40] <vizo1> I get this
[01:41] <vizo1> print() on closed filehandle MYTHMENU at /usr/local/bin/gethulu.pl line 35.
[01:41] <tgm4883> strange

[01:43] <BassKozz> foxbuntu, I am out, you have a great evening, and thank you again for all your help, bye
[01:43] <vizo1> tgm4883: so I need to change that in the Setup?
[01:43] <tgm4883> yea
[01:44] <vizo1> ok I cant get to the mythvodka setup
[01:44] <vizo1> now
[01:44] <tgm4883> you were able to get there before?
[01:44] <vizo1> is there a way to change the comand from a menu file or something?
[01:45] <vizo1> when I first installed it
[01:45] <vizo1> but now every tim I go into Mythvodka setup  that runs
[01:45] <tgm4883> i'm not sure where it's kept
[01:45] <tgm4883> it might be in the db, but I don't remember seeing it there
[01:46] <vizo1> on my back end?
[01:46] <tgm4883> well yea thats where the db usually is ;)
[01:46] <vizo1> heh
[01:50] <vizo1> I dont see it in the settings table
[02:16] <vizo1> tgm4883: I found it in the settings table on the db
[02:16] <vizo1> now I gotta figure how to edit it

[02:17] <noinip> I'm looking for help on getting an Air2PC card going under Mythbuntu.
[02:17] <perilousapricot> I'm getting a segfault on the most recent weekly build
[02:18] <noinip> I downloaded and copied the dvb-febcm3510-01.fw to /lib/firmware/ and it is still not detecting my card after reboot.
[02:19] <noinip> I"m pretty sure it's a rev 1 but I also followed the instructions for downloading the fw for the rev 2 card.  lscpi has no mention of the card.  Any help is appreciated.
[02:43] <perilousapricot> is anyone having trouble installing mythbuntu-default-settings?
[02:48] <vizo1> anyone any good at updatting mySQL tables?
[02:58] <vizo1> nevermind
[02:58] <vizo1> got it
[03:39] <superm1> perilousapricot, on trunk or fixes?
[03:39] <superm1> perilousapricot, and what version of ubuntu are you having trouble with MDS?
[03:40] <superm1> noinip, if lspci is not mentioning the card, it's not on your PCI bus
[03:40] <superm1> noinip, i'd reseat it if i were you
[03:40] <superm1> i had though the firmware is normally shipped with ubuntu for those cards too (as in no work necessary for you)
[03:43] <tritium> Is there no mythbuntu alpha 4?
[03:47] <superm1> tritium, no, the archive broke at alpha 4
[03:48] <superm1> tritium, unfortunately xubuntu thought a xfce 4.4 ->4.6 transition was a good idea
[03:48] <superm1> you know like 2 days before a4
[03:48] <superm1> tritium, you can grab dailies though
[03:48] <superm1> everything is fixed now
[03:48] <superm1> tritium, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily-live/
[03:49] <tritium> superm1: thanks!
[03:49] <superm1> tritium, np.  please catch bugs, particularly in the installer if you can :)
[03:49] <tritium> I think I need the newest alsa to support my new motherboard's HDMI audio out.
[03:50] <tritium> superm1: ok :)
[03:51] <perilousapricot> superm1, /mythbuntu-default-settings_0.76-0ubuntu1_all.deb)
[03:51] <tritium> The first thing I'll check for is if I can setup my ATSC card in the backend setup during the install.  In previous releases, I can't, and have to re-run the backend setup after install is complete.
[03:51] <superm1> perilousapricot, so that would be jaunty then
[03:51] <superm1> hmm lets see what happened
[03:51] <perilousapricot> superm1, yeah
[03:52] <perilousapricot> superm1, it just gives an
[03:52] <superm1> perilousapricot, everything else can upgrade right?
[03:52] <perilousapricot> yeah, everything else is up to date
[03:52] <perilousapricot> superm1, it give a: dpkg: error processing mythbuntu-default-settings_0.76-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--install):

[03:52] <superm1> perilousapricot, interesting thing is it's only upgrades that are broke.  new disks are mastering fine...
[03:53] <superm1> perilousapricot, did you submit a bug on this by chance already?
[03:53] <perilousapricot> not yet
[03:53] <perilousapricot> was gonna check in here first
[03:54] <superm1> perilousapricot, okay let me see if anything stands out in the preinst
[03:54] <superm1> you can look too if you want

[17:17] <dva_> i tried forums but not lucky
[17:18] <superm1> yeah it's an old card, so people likely dont have them sitting around and know for sure
[17:18] <dva_> ... and nvidia claims geforce4 mx440 does support xvmc
[17:18] <dva_> or purevideo
[17:18] <superm1> purevideo != xvmc ..
[17:19] <dva_> really? ok, but xorg.log says it is loaded
[17:19] <superm1> xvmc is an X.org extension.  it gets loaded whether your hardware supports it or now
[17:19] <superm1> *not
[17:19] <dva_> ok. but it works with xine
[17:20] <dva_> can i be sure that my card supports it?
[17:20] <superm1> if you are sure it's using xvmc in xine (typically xxmc is what it's called with nvidia i thought in xine), then just setting it in mythtv options would just work
[17:21] <dva_> tried in mythtv but > Desired video renderer 'xvmc-blit' not available
[17:22] <dva_> using mythbuntu 8.10 and nvidia 96.... drivers
[17:24] <superm1> well then doesn't that mean xvmc doesn't work?
[17:25] <dva_> don't know. but it should work! it works with xine! i am going to cry. mythtv eats my processor time
[17:25] <dva_> ~90%

[17:41] <perilousapricot> superm1, you see the big from last night?
[17:41] <superm1> perilousapricot, it should  be fixed today
[17:41] <superm1> try an apt-get update/upgrade
[17:41] <perilousapricot> sweet
[17:41] <perilousapricot> let me vnc home real quick
[18:20] <gizmobay> Is anyone here using the vdpau packages with the vdpau profile enabled? If so, when pulling up the EPG does the livetv preview work for you?
[19:33] <fernando__> Hi ever one, im having some problem with my remote. im using the windows mce remote the came with my hauppauge PVR-150 MCE . i was reading online that the ir codes are diferent then other windows MCE remote.  i know the remote work fine becouse i using it on my vista home prem system in Media center. in the past with mythbuntu 7.x i just selected windows MCE remote (new) and it worked just fine..i also know the reseaver is wor
[19:33] <fernando__> king becouse i can use the irblaster to change the channel on my cable box though mythtv.... any help would be nice...
[19:33] <fernando__> thanks fernando
[19:41] <perilousapricot> is the vdpau worth spending $60 on a new video card for?
[19:41] <perilousapricot> or should I keep saving for an OTA hd tuner?
[19:51] <superm1> perilousapricot, you can get them for cheaper than that i think
[19:51] <tgm4883> is vdpau in .21 yet or are you going to run trunk?
[19:51] <superm1> but yeah it will be worth it when a stable mythtv release supports it
[19:52] <tgm4883> IIRC, mythbuntu isn't going to have it until 9.10
[19:52] <tgm4883> theoritically
[19:52] <rhpot1991> I vote get an HDHR :)
[19:52] <rhpot1991> you can use it sooner, and then watch for vdpau cards on sale right before you need one
[19:57] <tgm4883> is there any reason to use VDPAU if you don't have 1080p content?
[20:02] <superm1> if you get an hd-pvr
[20:02] <superm1> say if you've got satellite and want to watch hd..
[20:03] <rhpot1991> still running trunk though
[20:03] <rhpot1991> the digital transition is overrated anyways
[20:03] <tgm4883> superm1, so that would be no?
[20:04] <tgm4883> or are you saying that the hd-pvr outputs 1080i content that I need vdpau for?
[20:04] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: did I tell you 24 sucks yet today?
[20:04] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, not yet
[20:04] <rhpot1991> I don't know why I waste my time with it anymore
[20:04] <tgm4883> but then again I could have missed it
[20:04] <tgm4883> we don't take no 24 haters in here
[20:04] <tgm4883> ;)
[20:05] <rhpot1991> may as well just keep watching season one and painting faces over the people, would be the same story
[20:05] <tgm4883> am I going to have to kick you again?
[20:05] <rhpot1991> maybe
[20:05] <tgm4883> i'll do it punk ;)
[20:05] <rhpot1991> !stab tgm4883
[20:05]  * Zinn stabs tgm4883 with a rusty spork.
[20:07] <superm1> tgm4883, the streams the hd-pvr outputs are mpeg4
[20:07] <superm1> takes a bit more cpu than mpeg2 streams
[20:07] <tgm4883> superm1, ah
[20:07] <tgm4883> ok, that makes sense then
[20:07] <tgm4883> 1080p?
[20:07] <superm1> well or GPU if you are vdpau'ified
[20:07] <superm1> i dunno if it can do 1080p, dont follow the specs that well
[20:07] <superm1> might want to ask foxbuntu if he ever gets on bip
[20:07] <perilousapricot> I'm running trunk
[20:08] <perilousapricot> hey, superm1 , have another package glitch for you
[20:08] <perilousapricot> Setting up mythexport (1.0.7-0ubuntu1) ...
[20:08] <perilousapricot> ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/share/mythtv/mythexport/video/mythexport': File exists
[20:09] <superm1> rhpot1991, ^ :)
[20:09] <superm1> there's a bug filed on that one already
[20:09] <superm1> bug 330624
[20:09] <Zinn> Bug 330624 in mythexport (Ubuntu) "package mythexport 1.0.7-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/330624
[20:09] <superm1> oh wait that's a little bit different
[20:09] <superm1> looks like there are two bugs related to symbolic links then maybe
[20:10] <rhpot1991> its the same issue I think
[20:11] <rhpot1991> different symlinks
[20:11] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: thats the location you put in when it asked you where you wanted to store things right?
[20:11]  * rhpot1991 was sloppy with those I guess
[20:11] <perilousapricot> rhpot1991, I don't think I put in anything specifically
[20:12] <foxbuntu> superm1, NEVER!
[20:12] <perilousapricot> but, it does seem like a weird symlink problem because if I remove it, it gets mad at another file which is in a symlinked directory or something
[20:13] <rhpot1991> ya there is another one that happens later, the one in that bug
[20:17] <perilousapricot> cool
[20:18] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: if you want to force it to install you can make sure the symlinks on lines 30-32 here don't exist: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythexport/jaunty-mythimport/annotate/head%3A/debian/mythexport.postinst
[20:19] <rhpot1991> I should be pushing a new version tonight once all my new functionality is in there
[20:27] <noinip> superml, Thanks.  I guess after everything my PCI card wasn't seated well enough.  I'm getting channels now ;)
[20:27] <superm1> noinip, great.  odds are your firmware was fine too then from the beginning
[20:27] <superm1> everyone always forgets the easy solutions :)
[20:32] <noinip> yeah, Now I'm just upset my indoor antenna isn't strong enough to get all the channels.  Guess I need a better one but at least I'm on my way and over that first stumbling block.
[20:32] <gizmobay> Does the EPG livetv preview work with vdpau packages or is it just me?
[20:42] <superm1> gizmobay, if you are having issues with EPG livetv preview with vdpau in  trunk, file them as bugs upstream at svn.mythtv.org
[20:42] <superm1> gizmobay, if you are referring to the hacky -fixes packages someone put together with vdpau, they're not supported by us, talk to those people
[20:54] <gizmobay> I'm using the avenard packages. I'll contact them just wondered if anyone else was using them and saw the same thing
[20:58] <perilousapricot> mannnnn, it's complicated to make myth transcode into a sensible h264 format to put on my ipod
[21:01] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: if you clean up those symlink errors mythexport can do it for you :)
[21:01] <rhpot1991> I can fix them and push to the testing ppa in a bit
[21:01] <perilousapricot> can I finagle it to transcode and not export?
[21:01] <perilousapricot> the h264 files are much smaller :)
[21:02] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: you'd want to replace your current recording with the h264?
[21:02] <perilousapricot> rhpot1991, yeah, I don't have a ton of harddrive space
[21:03] <perilousapricot> rhpot1991, and this is all analog SD anyway
[21:03] <rhpot1991> in theory you could, but it doesn't do it out of the box
[21:03] <rhpot1991> also keep in mind the res on the ipod is smaller than your recording
[21:04] <perilousapricot> can't the ipod do up to 640x480?
[21:04] <rhpot1991> depends which one
[21:04] <perilousapricot> which I guess is a little less than NTSC
[21:04] <perilousapricot> I have a newer one
[21:04] <rhpot1991> classic does less than that IIRC
[21:04] <rhpot1991> touch?
[21:04] <perilousapricot> touch, even
[21:04] <perilousapricot> yeah
[21:04] <perilousapricot> I have a pretty long commute
[21:05] <perilousapricot> and a lot of downtime during the day
[21:05] <rhpot1991> yep 640x480
[21:05] <rhpot1991> http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html
[21:06] <perilousapricot> so, it'd be neat to have the recordings transcoded over to that format, and then hacking on that rss.php file to make a podcast that itunes would import
[21:06] <rhpot1991> in order to replace them all you'd need to do is build a wrapper script to remove the one one after the export and change the file name in the recorded table in the database
[21:07] <rhpot1991> now I'm not sure how nice things in mythtv will play with that file
[21:07] <rhpot1991> internal player/mythweb/etc
[21:09] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: my recommendation would be to buy a bigger hard drive, they are cheap anymore :)
[21:09] <rhpot1991> unless you want to test that out and let me know how it works
[21:10] <perilousapricot> well, the harddrive isn't so much a big deal, I'd just like to be able to carry my TV with me, and having a copy for the iPod and one for myth seems kinda silly
[21:10] <perilousapricot> :)
[21:11] <fernando__> hay is any one out their using the hauppauge MCE remote
[21:13] <perilousapricot> I have a microsoft one, sorry
[21:14] <fernando__> are you have any problams with getting it to work?
[21:14] <perilousapricot> nope, it's working great for me
[21:16] <fernando__> i used the mythbuntu config program and set it their but  it does not work. did you do any thing else to make your work....
[21:16] <perilousapricot> when I did it, it worked okay
[21:16] <perilousapricot> there's a command you can try on the command line that'll help you debug
[21:16] <perilousapricot> but I can't think of what it is okay
[21:17] <fernando__> is it irw
[21:17] <perilousapricot> perhaps, I'm at work  so I don't have my machine in front of me
[21:18] <fernando__> ok thanks for the help , but when i use irw it came back up with blank...
[21:18] <perilousapricot> hmmmm
[21:18] <perilousapricot> sorry, if you're arohund when I get home, I'll take a peek
[21:19] <fernando__> im using it on my vista pc and the remote is working ok.. do you think vista might of upgraded the firmware on it?? so i cant use it in linux??
[21:20] <perilousapricot> what's the interface?
[21:21] <perilousapricot> and I doubt it
[21:24] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: do you want me to push a fixed version to the testing ppa?  A lot of things will be changing with it in the next few days I have added a lot of functionality that is waiting to be pushed when its all completed
[21:24] <perilousapricot> no, that's cool man
[21:24] <perilousapricot> I'll just wait till it filters up to the weekly-build tests
[21:25] <fernando__> its the usb receiver with the Hauppauge mce remote. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote#Windows_Vista_MCE_Remote     it is the 5th remote from the left shown on the page
[21:28] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: I'll try to remember and let you know when it gets pushed out there
[21:28] <perilousapricot> rhpot1991, thanks
[21:28] <perilousapricot> fernando__, if you unplug/replug it, do you get anything out of syslog?
[21:30] <fernando__> where do i get the log from .. i know it works becouse im able to use the ir blaster that come off the receiver and that is working just fine in myth..
[21:42] <noinip> fernando__ I was just setting that up today but only got as far as it being detected.
[21:42] <noinip> let me find that page
[21:43] <fernando__> thanks you..
[21:44] <sirhc_> ok .. i have completely screw something up.. my frontend cant connect to the database and i am obviously misunderstanding the storage dirs part. also with 0.21 how important is it to set a new partition? i thought that is why there are srorage dir's now.
[21:45] <noinip> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=957959
[21:45] <noinip> That is what I'm following now to get my remote working.  I think we are talking about the same one.  I'm to the point where if I run irw that I'm getting input.
[21:46] <noinip> Just have to get it going with mythtv...
[21:47] <sirhc_> when i start backend - error .. can't connect to database
[21:48] <fernando__> thanks you im making the changes to the system now.....
[21:48] <sirhc_> during frontend setup i get to the last step .. set up storage dirs .. i created dirs and put the path in myth setup .. error - cant write to file ..
[21:49] <sirhc_> anyone have any ideas?
[21:50] <fernando__> i know the sql password is stored in the /home/mythtv/.mythtv folder in the config file..
[21:51] <sirhc_> requote.. sorry it says "cannot create a file bla bla bla//.test - directory is not writeable
[21:55] <sirhc_> i am going to have to fix the storage dirs first because that is where my box is stuck and only options are "fix problems" "yes please" "or no i know what i'm doing" and i obviously don't know what i'm doing...
[21:58] <sirhc_> i created dir /home/mythtv/RecDir then inside that i made /DefaultREC and /LiveTV - was that right?
[22:29] <Gnea> I'm having a problem with audio on my Ubuntu 8.10 system - audio works for other apps just fine, but mythtv isn't catching any audio, neither when I watch TV or try to record anything, it's simply not there. I have everything pointed to ALSA and running kernel 2.6.27-12-generic. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this because it's never happened before..
[22:29] <Gnea> I have checked mixer settings and nothing is muted and is turned up to an audible degree, speakers are connected firmly
[22:30] <sirhc_> was it working before? in mythtv? or is this a new install?
[22:35] <yojimbo-san> My XFCE desktop won't login; pauses at "starting the desktop manager". There are 50 gnome-power-manager, 52 update-notifier and 237 jockey-gtk processes running!! killing them doesn't seem to help, reboots don't help, deleting ~/.gnome* didn't help ... what can I do next??
[22:42] <gizmobay> Anyone know how to change the apache listening port? I changed the value in ports.conf then restarted apache2 but it doesn't take. The router has been setup to forward the port.
[22:44] <rhpot1991> gizmobay: /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[22:44] <rhpot1991> and prob the Vhost in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[22:49] <gizmobay> thanks rhpot1991, I missed the 000-default change
[22:49] <rhpot1991> np gizmobay
[22:50] <Gnea> sirhc_: yes, it was working just fine
[22:51] <gizmobay> vlc handles digest auth now. Nice
[23:07] <sirhc_> hmm thats weird.. want a wierder one? my audio is suddenly doing its own thing .. the video is about 3 sec delay and the audio stays on no matter what, to the last channel tunned. example .. rewind live tv and the audio keeps right on going. exit mythtv frontend, still have audio.
[23:08] <Gnea> hrm
[23:08] <Gnea> sirhc_: zombie process eating cpu cycles?
[23:08] <sirhc_> running tvtime reset the audo to a new channel (the one tunned on tvtime) and they match perfect, no delay
[23:10] <Gnea> not sure if tvtime works with my card... it's a HVR-1600
[23:10] <sirhc_> well i am alarmed by the status screen... reported "RAM 248 total 243 used" box has 512M RAM ???
[23:11] <Gnea> what does the free command report?
[23:11] <sirhc_> hmm.. same thing .. 3264 free
[23:12] <Gnea> sure it's not reading swap?
[23:12] <sirhc_> swap : 738948  216488  522460
[23:13] <Gnea> weird
[23:16] <Gnea> hrmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[23:16] <Gnea> 2009-02-17 17:14:04.333 AudioOutput Warning: Mixer attach error -2: No such file or directory Check Mixer Name in Setup: '/dev/mixer'
[23:16] <Gnea> o.O
[23:17] <Gnea> crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 0 2009-02-17 15:07 /dev/mixer
[23:17] <Gnea> that makes no sense, at all, whatsoever. it says there's no /dev/mixer, and yet, according to ls, it exists. and yes, I'm part of the audio group.
[23:41] <perilousapricot> I'm gtting a weird error with mythtv-status not finding the disk space percentage
[23:41] <perilousapricot> --verbose shows it's having a problem with DBI connecting to the database?
[23:45] <rhpot1991> perilousapricot: does it show anything useful?
[23:50] <rhpot1991> like recordings and such
