[06:33] <Batshua> Hey, uhm.  I have a SA 3250 to which I am connected via FireWire.  I am getting no channel lock or only a partial lock on many, if not most channels even with 100% signal.  I have played around with the 3250, 4200, and 4250 drivers, none of which work to resolve this problem.  What should I be doing to troubleshoot at this stage?
[07:27] <bazzawilleee> hey guys I am having intermitant issues with my backend not functioning it is still running but nothing will connect to it either frontend or mythweb and nothing will record

[16:01] <alexvd> Hello does mythbuntu current or alpha version support the hd-pvr capture device.  I am running a very old version right now but I need to move hardware and hopefully use my hdpvr that have been gathering alot of dust
[16:04] <foxbuntu> alexvd, no, the reason is that the support for it is only in MythTV .22 which is still under development
[16:14] <tgm4883> alexvd, i've heard of someone porting that suppport back to 0.21, you can search the forums for it
[16:29] <foxbuntu> tgm4883, just trying to show me up now arent you? ;)
[16:29] <tgm4883> yep, thats my MO
[16:30] <foxbuntu> I knew it!
[16:55] <pinion> I'm having trouble finding a good guide that can help me with transcoding
[16:55] <pinion> Several shows I want to encode to mkv and xvid but I don't even know where to begin.
[16:55] <pinion> If any one can push me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
[16:57] <foxbuntu> pinion, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythExport
[16:58] <pinion> Awesome thanks!
[17:00] <pinion> that looks like it does the export to portable devices.  Is 480x320 close to SD?
[17:04] <darthanubis> pinion, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Nuvexport
[17:05] <pinion> That sounds perfect!
[17:06] <pinion> Thanks foxbuntu and darthanubis, both those links a very helpful for what I want to do
[17:26] <MythbuntuGuest51> Hello, I'm getting a mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data into the Guide for 1 of 1 sources. This can indicate a potential grabber failure. message in mythweb. My logs are here: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f6747e5d5 Any ideas why mythfilldatabase isn't running correctly? Thanks
[18:28] <alexvd> foxbuntu: yes I have seen the posts on the mythtv mailing list about .21 backports.  people were asking and the devs were replying no
[18:29] <foxbuntu> alexvd, im sorry, I dont follow
[18:37] <pinion> So I screwed up while installing mythexport.  It keeps asking for a password and nothing I try works.  I think maybe I was supposed to put my mysql password in during setup but didn't.  How can I make it so it stops coming up every time I run apt-get install?
[18:37] <rhpot1991> pinion: it wants your mysql password
[18:38] <rhpot1991> what version of mythexport?
[18:38] <rhpot1991> in earlier ones there is a bug where it installs before the database exists
[18:38] <pinion> I put in the password under ~/.mythtv/config.xml
[18:38] <pinion> hmm
[18:38] <pinion> I dunno
[18:38] <pinion> I just did apt-get install mythexport
[18:38] <rhpot1991> the password is so it can create the table in the database, different things
[18:38] <rhpot1991> dpkg -l |grep mythexport
[18:38] <pinion> I'm running mythbuntu 8.10
[18:39] <pinion> and installed ubuntu-desktop
[18:39] <rhpot1991> pinion: let me get you a link
[18:39] <pinion> 1.0.3-0ubuntu1
[18:40] <rhpot1991> bug 282498
[18:40] <Zinn> Bug 282498 in mythexport (Ubuntu) "package mythexport 1.0.3-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided, Fix Released] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/282498
[18:40] <pinion> cool
[18:40] <pinion> thanks
[18:40] <rhpot1991> if you enable proposed as it says in the bottom of that bug
[18:40] <rhpot1991> you will be able to get the latest from there
[18:40] <rhpot1991> also can you please add comments to the bugs listed in the top of this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythExport_old
[18:41] <rhpot1991> after you install from proposed
[18:41] <pinion> Sure thing
[18:42] <rhpot1991> thank
[18:42] <pinion> thank you
[18:42] <pinion> hmmm
[18:43] <pinion> it says before myth-backend or mythtv-database are installed
[18:43] <pinion> but my mythtv is working fine
[18:43] <rhpot1991> pinion: I'd still recommend updating, there are those bug fixes
[18:43] <rhpot1991> but the issue at hand
[18:43] <pinion> yeah, I don't have much else to try ;)
[18:44] <rhpot1991> you need to tell it a working combination of database user and password
[18:44] <rhpot1991> you can test them with the following mysql -u<insert user here> -p mythconverg
[18:44] <rhpot1991> and then type the password when it asks
[18:44] <rhpot1991> you should be able to use your mysql root user, or the mythtv one in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[18:46] <pinion> yeah
[18:46] <pinion> when I use user mythtv and put in the mysql password it works fine
[18:47] <rhpot1991> ok so do sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythexport
[18:47] <alexvd> foxbuntu: I was replying back on the comment that tgm said about support for the hd-pvr in .21 backport
[18:47] <rhpot1991> and type that info in there
[18:47] <foxbuntu> ah
[18:48] <pinion> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythexport is broken or not fully installed
[18:49] <pinion> is there a way to clean it out entirely and start over?
[18:49] <rhpot1991> pinion: sudo apt-get install -f
[18:50] <pinion> then I get that error
[18:50] <pinion> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'
[18:50] <pinion> exit status 1 etc...
[18:50] <rhpot1991> pinion: ok do this: sudo dpkg --purge mythexport, then add the proposed repo and start over
[18:50] <pinion> ok
[18:57] <pinion> hmm
[18:57] <pinion> I take it I only want to do selective upgrading
[18:57] <pinion> or I guess I could uncheck proposed updates I don't want right?
[19:00] <pinion> Ok, I just enabled the proposed and then did a sudo apt-get install mythexport and made sure to put the info in that I just tested for mysql that worked and everything went fine
[19:00] <pinion> thanks!
[19:01] <pinion> I assume I can untick proposed now?
[19:01] <pinion> 1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1 So yeah, I got it
[19:05] <rhpot1991> yep
[19:05] <rhpot1991> installed ok?
[19:18] <pinion> it did
[19:18] <pinion> but
[19:18] <pinion> it says to goto localhost/mythexport to configure
[19:18] <pinion> but it's the rss feed that's there
[19:18] <pinion> which I guess is how it used to be
[19:18] <pinion> but now all the config is web based according to the new page
[19:19] <pinion> so I'm trying to figure out what to do to get it going
[19:19] <rhpot1991> pinion: the latest wiki vesrion is for the Jaunty release
[19:19] <rhpot1991> you want to look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythExport_old
[19:19] <pinion> that's what I'm looking at now
[19:19] <pinion> I guess I need to create a user job
[19:20] <pinion> but, so even though I have the 1.0.6 release instead of the 1.0.3 release I still won't have the web config?
[19:22] <rhpot1991> yep no web configuration there, thats new for 2.0
[20:54] <MythbuntuGuest27> I am looking for some documentation on how to configure a usb TV tuner by Kworld
[23:36] <h2os> hello all, what software is used for commerical detection?
[23:40] <tgm4883> h2os, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag
[23:49] <h2os> tgm4883, thank you for the info, are there any other s/w pkgs that do same thing?
[23:52] <tgm4883> h2os, I don't think so
[23:52] <tgm4883> what are you trying to do?
[23:54] <h2os> tgm4883, mythtv nice but not what i need. I want a desktop app with basic vdr/dvr capabilities (basically watch news w/o comms)
[23:55] <h2os> currently record, then use xine to skip comms
[23:55] <h2os> curious if i could automate that part
[23:58] <tgm4883> yea your only option to do that would be to record the content with mythtv, then transcode it.  The commercial flagging stuff is stored in the db, so you would need some way to use that info
[23:59] <tgm4883> I don't know of any basic dvr apps that do commflagging
[23:59] <h2os> nor do i, mythtv was only 1 i new that did it
