ZinnI am alive.00:38
MythbuntuGuest52Anyone around? i am looking to setup a system where media is streamed from a backend server to a frontend, similar to how mythtv currently does, but i'm not interedted in recording live tv. I'm looking for a server setup where i can upload media files directly to the backend and have them streamed on demand to the frontend using a simple interface, is such thing possible with mythtv? or am I up the wrong tree on this one?00:43
MythbuntuGuest30yes you can do that with mythtv00:49

ZinnPlease don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.01:04
MythbuntuGuest30How can do i get mythbuntu to play dvd's and rip them to the HD? I've alreay installed the w32codecs and libdvdcss2.01:05
hadsYou could do that with mythtv but you're probably better off using something else.04:03
abarbacciahey all - i botched the database on my mythbuntu ibex install and i want to restore a default one. can i just force a reconfigure of a package to do it?04:41

ZinnIf you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common04:44

gumpert345hi I installed diskless-server on my hardy server and then tried to install diskless-server-client but I get a ltsp error: http://pastebin.com/d1f6b88eb its german, Im afraid, but I can try to translate it13:32
gumpert345and this is the next message I get: http://pastebin.com/d42dbc237 this time in english13:34
gumpert345!diskless13:35
ZinnSorry I don't know about diskless13:35
gumpert345does someone know a better howto than this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Hardy/Diskless it seems to be outdated and doesnt work for me?14:24

rhpot1991!help14:32

gumpert345rhpot1991 thanks for the link, but I run a server without xfce, kde or gnome,  and this pdf says Iam supposed to use the mythbuntu control centre, which I dont know how to do without a monitor14:39
gumpert345is there some way to access it via ssh or http?14:42
rhpot1991gumpert345: you can do it over ssh14:50
rhpot1991ssh -X ip14:50
rhpot1991will forward X apps14:50
gumpert345ah ok, so all I need to do is: sudo apt-get install myth-backend and sudo apt-get install myth-control-center and connect to it via ssh -X?14:54
rhpot1991gumpert345: yes, watch the dependencies though make sure X isn't in there14:56
rhpot1991it is required for the frontend14:57
rhpot1991might be for MCC, I'd have to check14:57
gumpert345sry I didnt understand the last part, do you mean I shall check that no X is installed?14:57
rhpot1991well I take it that you are running a cli server?14:58
rhpot1991no X interface14:58
gumpert345yes14:58
rhpot1991if you do sudo apt-get install -s myth-control-centre it will do a test run, and you can see all the packages that would get installed without actually installing14:59
rhpot1991just to make sure you don't pick up Xorg in the process14:59
gumpert345ah ok thx15:00
gumpert345I found this: mythweb do you think it can do the job too?15:00
rhpot1991mythweb can do a lot, but not everything MCC can, also mythweb doesn't have error checking in place so you can easily break things if you don't know what values should be in there15:01
gumpert345ah ok15:02
gumpert345rhpot 1991 http://pastebin.com/d36c1116 what do you think?15:39
rhpot1991gumpert345: should be good I think15:49
gumpert345I connected to the server using ssh -X ip on the mac osx terminal and a X11 window opened but all I can see is another terminal that says: bash-3.215:56
rhpot1991gumpert345: I've never done x forwarding to osx sorry15:57
gumpert345I doubt its a mac problem15:58
gumpert345maybe its because there is no xserver on hardy?15:58
gumpert345http://pastebin.com/d1bd29ee215:59
rhpot1991looks like it16:02
gumpert345sudo apt-get install xserver?16:03
rhpot1991gumpert345: before you do that what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?16:03
rhpot1991no need loading x on there if you can do it without16:04
gumpert345i want to run a diskless mythbuntu server on my fileserver so I wont need a HDD for my frontend16:05
gumpert345Id like to do it without, but if there is no other way. . .16:10
rhpot1991ah I'm not all that familiar with the diskless, but I'd venture you'd be better using MCC for it16:11
gumpert345as far as I can see, I need something like an xserver for mcc, right`?16:14

MythbuntuGuest58does anyone know of support for the JMicron JMB381 Firewire chip on the MSI P6NGM-FIH motherboard?  I havent been able to find information on it but mythbuntu 8.1 does at least recognize it but shows no Nodes under plugreport.17:01
=== MythbuntuGuest58 is now known as SgtPepper
=== SgtPepper is now known as SgtP
SgtP<-- formerly MythbuntuGues5817:03
superm1SgtP, i'm doubtful you'll be finding an answer to your question unfortunately17:20
superm1at least in here17:20
superm1i'm assuming you have a device plugged in when you are looking for nodes on plugreport?17:20
SgtPYes, I have a QIP 7100 (Fios STB) which isnt showing up so I took an old Firewire Ipod and tried that as well with no luck.17:23
SgtPThe ipod did power up and act like it was connecting but still have nothing under plug report.17:24
superm1your best bet is to try to boot off of a 9.04 alpha disk17:25
superm1and see if it's more functional there17:25
superm1if not, you can at least try to get a more accurate bug report together17:25
SgtPOk.. that sounds like a good starting point.. After that I may just pull an old card out of a desktop and try and use that..17:27
superm1well that or if it works with 9.04 stick with 9.04 :)17:29
rhpot1991you may have issues with firewire being active on that box as well17:30
rhpot1991I didn't think fios played nice with firewire, I'd be very interested if it did though :)17:31
SgtPyeah just planned to wait for the release.. Since this is something new trying to make it stable as I can for the Wife factor.. :)17:31
tgm4883ah superm1 knows all about that.  Jackie doesn't like it when the mythbox aint working ;)17:31
rhpot1991haha17:32
rhpot1991IIRC Jackie is the cause of it nor working sometimes, with wire eating and all17:32
superm1haha17:32
SgtPwell there are at least 2 ppl who got it working (For channel change only).17:32
franqushi there17:32
superm1!hi | franqus17:32
Zinnfranqus: Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?17:32
franqusi got trouble setting up my lirc with imon pad remote control17:33
SgtPhttp://rocketmonkeys.com/index.php  <-- Blog about using the FIOS box.  Has his ch6100 script up there now too..17:33
franqusis there a  lirc chan on irc?17:33
superm1franqus, #lirc i thinks17:34
franqus:D17:34
franqusthx17:34
rhpot1991SgtP: that is one bright site17:34
MythbuntuGuest16whoops..17:35
=== MythbuntuGuest16 is now known as SgtP
SgtPyeah its bright.. but has some good info on the Fios setup.17:35
rhpot1991thats a shame its channel changing only17:36
franqusany lirc-users in here using soundgraph's imon remote control?17:37
SgtPyeah I would like to get the video out of it but at least I can get something.  I have the HDHomerun for the OTA stuff.  so that just leaves Discovery channel as far as I care.. :)17:46
superm1gee wouldn't it be nice if those tuning boxes you got from Verizon for FIOS and AT&T for uverse would spit out QAM streams17:48
superm1imagine how this world would be :)17:48
BatshuaDoes anyone know if the Hauppauge 1192 HDTV Tuner/Video Recorder is sufficient for my needs?17:48
BatshuaThe 1212 was suggested, but the 1192 is less expensive.17:48
SgtPSuperml:  Yeah would be nice.. Has anyone tried the whole FCC useful firewire port thing?  I just read about it yesterday.  So far I have been happyy with the tech support at Verizon but who knows how far that would go.17:51
superm1SgtP, at best you might get ota channels over firewire if you tried to do it with verizon i thinks17:52
SgtPYeah might give it a try once I get firewire working on the box at least.  Ill stay in contact with the guy at rocketmonkey and see if he has tried as well..17:54
SgtPBatshua: Dont know if the 1192 would work but they are completly different animals. One is HD the other isnt.  So it depends what you are trying to accomplish I would think.17:55
SgtPI take that back a bit I guess the 1192 has a tuner etc.  The 1212 doesnt have a tuner etc it will just take the raw component output into H.264 . So you would have to use a STB for tuning.17:59
BatshuaIt looked like they were both HD.17:59
BatshuaThis is why I asked.17:59
SgtPwell someone at newegg says it working in Myth/linux well..18:01
SgtPwhat are you trying to connect to the tuner?18:01
rhpot1991SgtP: FCC only requires OTA channels I believe18:38
rhpot1991some people get lucky and can get others18:39
