[00:16] 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] 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] BassKozz: need to add them via the video manager in setup [00:21] rhpot1991, thx, i'll check it out [00:22] rhpot1991, nothing showing up in video manager either :( [00:22] BassKozz, did you allow read permissions for your MythTV daemon user? [00:23] foxbuntu, not sure, how can I check? [00:23] ls -l on your samba share [00:24] BassKozz, usually best option is to add the mythtv group as owner [00:25] BassKozz, so: sudo chmod :mythtv /path/to/_smb_mount [00:25] mythtv:mythtv as the owner and 775 as the permissions is a good idea [00:25] rhpot1991, not 775 [00:25] foxbuntu: since when? [00:25] unless its a dir [00:25] rhpot1991, why add execute to video files? [00:26] foxbuntu: true [00:26] 775 on the root perhaps [00:26] should I run ?"sudo chmod :mythtv /path/to/_smb_mount" [00:26] it's a read-only share neways [00:26] ya 775 on the dir [00:27] looks like 666 or 644 on the files [00:27] BassKozz, yes, obviously you need to replace the path and, uid with your username [00:27] hi gang. anyone one with experience with an irblaster on a serial port? [00:28] foxbuntu, how do I find the uid for mythtv? [00:28] BassKozz, its whatever user you setup originally at install [00:28] ohh ok [00:29] you can user mythtv:mythtv, but i suggest using your own username [00:29] so, your_user:mythtv [00:29] chmod: invalid mode: `basskozz:mythtv' [00:29] chown [00:30] ohh yeah [00:30] :p [00:30] looks like my videos are 644 owned by my user and that works fine [00:30] recordings are 666 owned by mythtv [00:30] rhpot1991, I think the permissions should be more like 661 [00:30] chown: changing ownership of `/media/nas_samba_share/': Input/output error [00:30] can anyone help me when I can't use LP/EP/SP when using mytharchive onto a single layer DVD? [00:30] I can burn the DVD when I select "Don't Re-encode', but ffmpeg errors when I select EP/LP/SP... [00:31] foxbuntu: why 661? that doesn't make much sense [00:31] BassKozz, you probably need to change the way you have your samba server setup [00:31] foxbuntu: why do I want anyone to execute but not read? [00:32] rhpot1991, read/write (owner) read/write (group) read (other) [00:32] or are you being a smart ass [00:32] rhpot1991: Please watch your language. [00:32] ohh I know why, I have my smb.conf setup w/ username = basskozz, I need to add mythtv [00:32] 664 foxbuntu [00:32] rhpot1991, oh right [00:32] foxbuntu: looks like by default the videos are 666 and images are 644 [00:32] rhpot1991, sorry, wrong octets [00:32] er [00:32] octals [00:33] rhpot1991, 664 works [00:33] thanks for saving me foxbuntu I was chmoding files 775 in my script [00:33] rhpot1991, yes, I only know because of all the times superm1 kicked my arse for doing it [00:33] foxbuntu: Please watch your language. [00:33] :) [00:33] heh [00:33] wow [00:34] hmmm when did I add that [00:34] ZInn knows arse? [00:34] foxbuntu: Please watch your language. [00:34] I think Daviey complained that we didn't catch british curses [00:34] thats really a birtish curse? [00:34] means ass in brit [00:34] rhpot1991: Please watch your language. [00:34] quiet zinn [00:34] I didnt know... [00:34] intresting [00:35] anyways [00:35] yes, only use 775 on dirs, and 664 on files (except exec files obviously) [00:36] !blank% [00:36] 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] ok thats good [00:37] yea [00:37] other than people should stay away from doing that chmod -R [00:38] still not letting me chown :-(, shouldn't it still be accessible because permissions Others=Read ? [00:39] Grrrrrrrrrrr [00:40] BassKozz, not to change permissions if your samba share is setup read-only (not the files, the actual share on the server) [00:40] Daviey, ? [00:42] 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] BassKozz, you say NAS, but is it a machine with shared storage, or an actual NAS? (people tend to interchange the terms) [00:43] Ubuntu 8.10 machine w/ shared storage [00:44] so, box with storage, not NAS [00:44] :) [00:44] yes :p [00:44] it was easier to use "NAS" and "MYTHTV" to define the boxes as not on-in-the-same [00:44] 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] *one-in-the-same [00:45] ok... brb, Thx [00:45] 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] I assume I need to add a user 'mythtv' on my "box with storage", what should I set the password too? [00:48] or leave it blank? [00:49] BassKozz, no [00:49] as I said before, change the share from read-only, to read-write [00:50] then change the permissions from the machine you are mounting the share on [00:50] ok... brb [00:54] 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] and I used sudo [01:00] 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] BassKozz, a seoncdary BE can setup a storage group and then you dont have to mess with all of this [01:01] 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] here is my fstab line: //shareip/mythtv /media/share smbfs auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user 0 0 [01:02] where I've already set /root/.credentials to the proper user/pass [01:02] BassKozz, ah [01:03] foxbuntu, you see something? [01:03] BassKozz, you need to set that user to Owner will full permissions (of the actual files, from the machine hosting the files) [01:03] BassKozz, you jarred loose some more info [01:04] ahh ok, I think I understand what your saying... brb... [01:05] anyone have experience with a serial ir blaster? mine seems to initialize, but doesn't want to change channels on my box. [01:07] foxbuntu, that did the trick, now chown works, but still nothing is showing up in video manager :( [01:08] BassKozz, did you change the path of the video files in the setup for mythtv? [01:08] Also "sudo chown basskozz:mythtv /media/share/" works but "sudo chown mythtv /media/share/" does not ? [01:08] yeah, the path never changed [01:09] I just umounted and remounted using mount -a [01:09] BassKozz, so you changed it from the default correct? [01:10] What do you mean "changed from default"? [01:10] BassKozz, what does this output: ls -l /media/ [01:11] 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] http://pastebin.com/d6e217659 [01:11] BassKozz, in the MythTV settings, the path for "Videos" defaults to /var/lib/mythtv/videos (iirc) [01:12] Mostr, google it, you'll find what you seek [01:12] foxbuntu, yeah, mine is set to "/var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/share/" [01:12] 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] BassKozz, I assume by share you mean "Movies" [01:14] BassKozz, or is this pastebin inside the share? [01:14] correct pastebin inside the share [01:14] ah [01:15] http://pastebin.com/d24e0b86e [01:15] so multiple folders w/ various types (i.e. Movies, TV, Documentaries, Music) [01:15] BassKozz, well do this: sudo chown -R basskozz:mythtv /media/share/ [01:15] ok... [01:16] then set your videos folder to /media/share/Movies [01:16] tgm4883: u there? [01:18] 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] so do I have to create one for each and every directory [01:18] :-O [01:19] BassKozz, thats ok, MythTV will figure it out from there [01:19] ls -l /media/share/ again [01:19] OK well, It still not showing up in the Video Manager :( [01:19] ok... [01:19] BassKozz, you are going to Settings > Video Manager correct? [01:20] foxbuntu, http://pastebin.com/d560edc01 [01:21] BassKozz, that looks better [01:21] foxbuntu, correct "Settings>Video Manager" [01:21] are you going out an back in each time? [01:21] it only checks on load [01:22] unless there is some refresh button I am not thinking of :) [01:23] by "out an back" you mean closing out frontend, and reopening, then yes... but I am not shuting down the backend however [01:23] no no [01:23] you only have to go back to the menu [01:23] then back into video manager [01:23] ohh, well I did both [01:23] :p [01:24] still nothing showing in video manager :( [01:24] ok, try running video manager, then run this and post the output: tail -n 50 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [01:25] wait I think I got it... [01:25] ok...what did you change? [01:26] 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] I wounder why the semi-colon isn't working? [01:27] err "colon" [01:27] the wiki said that should work: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend [01:27] I havent tried it like that, but it should as far as i know [01:29] oh [01:29] did you use spaces? [01:29] as you listed it in here? [01:29] yup [01:29] no_spaces ? [01:29] /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ : /media/share/Movies != /var/lib/mythtv/videos/:/media/share/Movies [01:30] ahhh, ok, !DOH! [01:30] !slap BassKozz for using spaces [01:30] Sorry I don't know about slap BassKozz for using spaces [01:30] vizo1, pong [01:30] Thanks for your help foxbuntu :-D [01:30] I really appreciate it [01:30] BassKozz, np [01:30] tgm4883: hey [01:30] you-da-man ;-P [01:31] tgm4883: you have your mythvoda working yes? [01:31] BassKozz, once in awhile I figure it out [01:31] vizo1, yea [01:31] mine keeps getting stuck at updating listing 40 % [01:32] then some errors but I cant read the screen it brings up cause it freezes [01:33] have to dump out of the front end to go back to normal [01:33] any ideas [01:33] ? [01:33] vizo1, start the frontend from the command line, but if I had to guess, its your hulu xml file [01:33] something is wrong with it [01:39] sticking on Excuting : gethulu.pl [01:39] then nothing [01:40] I notice if I run gethulu.pl from command line [01:40] I get this [01:41] print() on closed filehandle MYTHMENU at /usr/local/bin/gethulu.pl line 35.

[01:43] yea [01:44] ok I cant get to the mythvodka setup [01:44] now [01:44] you were able to get there before? [01:44] is there a way to change the comand from a menu file or something? [01:45] when I first installed it [01:45] but now every tim I go into Mythvodka setup that runs [01:45] i'm not sure where it's kept [01:45] it might be in the db, but I don't remember seeing it there [01:46] on my back end? [01:46] well yea thats where the db usually is ;) [01:46] heh [01:50] I dont see it in the settings table [02:16] tgm4883: I found it in the settings table on the db [02:16] now I gotta figure how to edit it [02:16] !help air2pc [02:16] !help air2pc For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].

[02:17] I'm looking for help on getting an Air2PC card going under Mythbuntu. [02:17] I'm getting a segfault on the most recent weekly build [02:18] I downloaded and copied the dvb-febcm3510-01.fw to /lib/firmware/ and it is still not detecting my card after reboot. [02:19] 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] is anyone having trouble installing mythbuntu-default-settings? [02:48] anyone any good at updatting mySQL tables? [02:58] nevermind [02:58] got it [03:39] perilousapricot, on trunk or fixes? [03:39] perilousapricot, and what version of ubuntu are you having trouble with MDS? [03:40] noinip, if lspci is not mentioning the card, it's not on your PCI bus [03:40] noinip, i'd reseat it if i were you [03:40] i had though the firmware is normally shipped with ubuntu for those cards too (as in no work necessary for you) [03:43] Is there no mythbuntu alpha 4? [03:47] tritium, no, the archive broke at alpha 4 [03:48] tritium, unfortunately xubuntu thought a xfce 4.4 ->4.6 transition was a good idea [03:48] you know like 2 days before a4 [03:48] tritium, you can grab dailies though [03:48] everything is fixed now [03:48] tritium, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily-live/ [03:49] superm1: thanks! [03:49] tritium, np. please catch bugs, particularly in the installer if you can :) [03:49] I think I need the newest alsa to support my new motherboard's HDMI audio out. [03:50] superm1: ok :) [03:51] superm1, /mythbuntu-default-settings_0.76-0ubuntu1_all.deb) [03:51] 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] perilousapricot, so that would be jaunty then [03:51] hmm lets see what happened [03:51] superm1, yeah [03:52] superm1, it just gives an [03:52] perilousapricot, everything else can upgrade right? [03:52] yeah, everything else is up to date [03:52] superm1, it give a: dpkg: error processing mythbuntu-default-settings_0.76-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--install): [03:52] subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 [03:52] perilousapricot, interesting thing is it's only upgrades that are broke. new disks are mastering fine... [03:53] perilousapricot, did you submit a bug on this by chance already? [03:53] not yet [03:53] was gonna check in here first [03:54] perilousapricot, okay let me see if anything stands out in the preinst [03:54] you can look too if you want [03:54] /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythbuntu-default-settings.preinst [03:55] http://pastebin.com/m7f3f6ec6 [03:56] hm nothing looks too crazy there [03:57] yeah.. [03:57] one sec [03:57] gonna make tomorrow's lunch [04:01] superml, thanks. I'll try that [04:05] perilousapricot, oh it's a really silly error. i see it now === SlowWitted30647 is now known as aniiena [06:27] Still got video problem. Can't get TV-ou working, on either an ATI Radeon 9550XL, or Nvidia 6200. nvidia driver fails with "can't find device".

FOSS nvidia driver has garbage on TV-Out, 173/177 nvidia prop driver fail to init. card [07:40] is there a way to make a diskless frontend only use the image on the server and skip any client side changes ? [07:50] nm figured it out =) [12:36] hi, is there a howto for setting up a wintv-nova s dvb tv card? yes? where can i find it? [15:04] I have a mythvideo question. I have mythvideo set up with the default settings. what player is it using (mplayer is in the default command line of setup) I rip my dvd's in iso format (default) My issue is that I can play the iso files using the default modes of 2 remote frontends (ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 8.04 (64)) but they wont play on my main mythbuntu machine (mythbuntu 8.10) I have even tried to use the [16:25] myth 0.21 'can't log in to database' also trying to set up storage dir's 'can't write to file ...' any pointers? [16:56] can I enable xvmc on nvidia mx440 on mythtv 0.21 and how? [17:15] can I enable xvmc on nvidia mx440 on mythtv 0.21 and how? [17:16] dva, i dont believe the mx440 supports xvmc [17:16] you're best off posting on the forums though, as most the people appear to not know here [17:16] !forums | dva [17:16] dva: The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. [17:17] i tried forums but not lucky [17:18] yeah it's an old card, so people likely dont have them sitting around and know for sure [17:18] ... and nvidia claims geforce4 mx440 does support xvmc [17:18] or purevideo [17:18] purevideo != xvmc .. [17:19] really? ok, but xorg.log says it is loaded [17:19] xvmc is an X.org extension. it gets loaded whether your hardware supports it or now [17:19] *not [17:19] ok. but it works with xine [17:20] can i be sure that my card supports it? [17:20] 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] tried in mythtv but > Desired video renderer 'xvmc-blit' not available [17:22] using mythbuntu 8.10 and nvidia 96.... drivers [17:24] well then doesn't that mean xvmc doesn't work?

[17:34] thx [17:34] :) [17:41] superm1, you see the big from last night? [17:41] perilousapricot, it should be fixed today [17:41] try an apt-get update/upgrade [17:41] sweet [17:41] let me vnc home real quick [18:20] 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] 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] king becouse i can use the irblaster to change the channel on my cable box though mythtv.... any help would be nice... [19:33] thanks fernando [19:41] is the vdpau worth spending $60 on a new video card for? [19:41] or should I keep saving for an OTA hd tuner? [19:51] perilousapricot, you can get them for cheaper than that i think [19:51] is vdpau in .21 yet or are you going to run trunk? [19:51] but yeah it will be worth it when a stable mythtv release supports it [19:52] IIRC, mythbuntu isn't going to have it until 9.10 [19:52] theoritically [19:52] I vote get an HDHR :) [19:52] you can use it sooner, and then watch for vdpau cards on sale right before you need one [19:57] is there any reason to use VDPAU if you don't have 1080p content? [20:02] if you get an hd-pvr [20:02] say if you've got satellite and want to watch hd.. [20:03] still running trunk though [20:03] the digital transition is overrated anyways [20:03] superm1, so that would be no? [20:04] or are you saying that the hd-pvr outputs 1080i content that I need vdpau for? [20:04] tgm4883: did I tell you 24 sucks yet today? [20:04] rhpot1991, not yet [20:04] I don't know why I waste my time with it anymore [20:04] but then again I could have missed it [20:04] we don't take no 24 haters in here [20:04] ;) [20:05] may as well just keep watching season one and painting faces over the people, would be the same story [20:05] am I going to have to kick you again? [20:05] maybe [20:05] i'll do it punk ;) [20:05] !stab tgm4883 [20:05] * Zinn stabs tgm4883 with a rusty spork. [20:07] tgm4883, the streams the hd-pvr outputs are mpeg4 [20:07] takes a bit more cpu than mpeg2 streams [20:07] superm1, ah [20:07] ok, that makes sense then [20:07] 1080p? [20:07] well or GPU if you are vdpau'ified [20:07] i dunno if it can do 1080p, dont follow the specs that well [20:07] might want to ask foxbuntu if he ever gets on bip [20:07] I'm running trunk [20:08] hey, superm1 , have another package glitch for you [20:08] Setting up mythexport (1.0.7-0ubuntu1) ... [20:08] ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/share/mythtv/mythexport/video/mythexport': File exists [20:09] rhpot1991, ^ :) [20:09] there's a bug filed on that one already [20:09] bug 330624 [20:09] 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] oh wait that's a little bit different [20:09] looks like there are two bugs related to symbolic links then maybe [20:10] its the same issue I think [20:11] different symlinks [20:11] 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] rhpot1991, I don't think I put in anything specifically [20:12] superm1, NEVER! [20:12] 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] ya there is another one that happens later, the one in that bug [20:17] cool [20:18] 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] I should be pushing a new version tonight once all my new functionality is in there === pini0n is now known as noinip [20:27] superml, Thanks. I guess after everything my PCI card wasn't seated well enough. I'm getting channels now ;) [20:27] noinip, great. odds are your firmware was fine too then from the beginning [20:27] everyone always forgets the easy solutions :) [20:32] 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] Does the EPG livetv preview work with vdpau packages or is it just me? [20:42] 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] 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] 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] mannnnn, it's complicated to make myth transcode into a sensible h264 format to put on my ipod [21:01] perilousapricot: if you clean up those symlink errors mythexport can do it for you :) [21:01] I can fix them and push to the testing ppa in a bit [21:01] can I finagle it to transcode and not export? [21:01] the h264 files are much smaller :) [21:02] perilousapricot: you'd want to replace your current recording with the h264? [21:02] rhpot1991, yeah, I don't have a ton of harddrive space [21:03] rhpot1991, and this is all analog SD anyway [21:03] in theory you could, but it doesn't do it out of the box [21:03] also keep in mind the res on the ipod is smaller than your recording [21:04] can't the ipod do up to 640x480? [21:04] depends which one [21:04] which I guess is a little less than NTSC [21:04] I have a newer one [21:04] classic does less than that IIRC [21:04] touch? [21:04] touch, even [21:04] yeah [21:04] I have a pretty long commute [21:05] and a lot of downtime during the day [21:05]
