tgm4883bronco1, no, you have to have the backend info, and be able to connect to it02:06
DarthFrog!ffmpeg02:16
ZinnSorry I don't know about ffmpeg02:16
DarthFrogDarn.02:16
DarthFrogTrying to make a DVD with Mytharchive, ffmpeg barfs out with an "unknown option -s 360x480".02:17
DarthFrogAh, the actual unknown option was "-s352x480".02:19
DarthFrogI have no idea where that size came from, MythArchive set it by itself.02:20

kaelesany reason my ati 9200 and my ati 9550 both have issues when doing the diskless booting of mythbuntu, I haven't tried an actual hd install though.06:24
kaelesneither of them will work properly, and it failsback to the "your device could not be detected automagically" but when I do Xorg -config, it created an xorg.conf file with the correct driver and device name in it06:26
kaelesI've been confuzzled about this for awhile, dug around on the ubuntu forums and in the xorg wiki, but nothing I've found seems to help with the issues at all06:29

CRXLPYtgm4883 good morning14:07
CRXLPYI have not been able to use Mytharchive since I switched to the trunk repos months ago. the plugins in the trunk are not compiled with the same lib as the back/frontend according to the error shown. It was suggested that I switch to the ppa repo this week. I did so, but now I cant even get mythbackend to start because the ppa version uses a different schema for the db than the trunk version. Now I have no myth at all.  please help 14:14
CRXLPYdo I need to just write off the 500GB of archived recordings a format and reinstall? works in windows LOL14:15
CRXLPYBTW: mythbackend.log- http://rafb.net/p/dCxu0710.html  and mythfrontend.log- http://rafb.net/p/JKuv0A11.html16:07
CRXLPYI hope that gets me closer to a solution16:07
kaelesAre there issues with the diskless clients using/getting the video hardware detected correctly, I've used ltsp before, but couldn't remember if there was something strange about it.16:15

MythbuntuGuest46greetings...i was wondering if there is a way to create a folder in the videos section of mythv to hold a bunch of episodes of a show18:40
MythbuntuGuest46also be able to have a picture as the folder cover18:41
kaelesjust go into whatever directory your using for your videos and create a new one and move the episodes into that, thats what I did, no clue about how to get a pictureo n the folder though18:42
MythbuntuGuest46ya the picture thing is what is hanging me up too18:43
MythbuntuGuest46i guess it's not a big deal18:43
kaelesyea, sorry bud18:45
MythbuntuGuest46is there a way to write your own synopsis for videos?18:58
MythbuntuGuest17has anyone used metax with mythtv?19:24
JEDIDIAH__You could always manipulate the tables directly if you really wanted to.20:12

CRXLPY!about db schema21:16
ZinnI am an IRC bot written in perl, but my code is not yet released.  I am named after Howard Zinn, you can learn more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn21:16
CRXLPYhow do a fix a database that is a newer schema than the mythtv deb's installed?21:19
CRXLPYor how do I fix the deb's?....21:19
CRXLPYto fix a problem with a plugin, I switched to the ppa's on tgm4883's advice and now I cant start mythtv at all... much less, use any plugin21:23
hadsMythtv isn't designed to rollback the database for you, the best way would be to restore from a backup.21:24
CRXLPYso I havt to rollback for newer mythtv?21:26
CRXLPYdid mythtv downgrade their db?21:26
kaeleshads: sorry to repeat myself, but do you know if there are any issues with the xserver in the 8.10 diskless, I haven't tried setting up an 8.04 or 8.4 (whichever it is), I may try that tonight, but I have issues with ANY video card being autodetected, the only driver that will work is the vesa, my nvidia geforce2, my ati 9200 and 9500 all will not autodetect in several different diskless clients... any clue or should I just try the 8.4 ?21:26
kaelesand none of them are detected in the restricted hardware drivers section either.21:27
hadsCRXLPY: The mythtv db schema gets upgraded over time. It's not backwards compatible.21:28
hadskaeles: I don't know if there are issues with the xserver.21:29
CRXLPYhads restore what? the db? or the whole install? my backup db is gonna be the wrong schema too. it would have been made during the time that plugins didnt work anyway21:29
hadskaeles: You're better off asking the channel than me specifically though.21:29
hadsYes, restore the correct database version for the mythtv version you want to use.21:30
kaelesyea , I figured, ok thanks anyhow, I will probably just throw up another vm and shutdown the 8.10 one, try that and see how it goes :)21:30
CRXLPYoh ok hads well do you know if the trunk is supposed to have working plugins? since it seems that swapping to ppa was wrong I guess I will remove the ppa repo and re-add the trunk repo, then uninstall mythtv(again) and install it from the trunk repo21:32
CRXLPYor is the trunk only core, and I should ignore any pkg other than mythtv itself?21:33
hadsIf you use unreleased versions then you can expect them to break. I've not used any trunk packages.21:33
CRXLPYwell I am off to remove the ppa repo then add trunk then uninstall / install mythtv21:35
CRXLPYmaybe after this mess it wont even boot and I will be forced to wipe it and reinstall. then I get to spend the next year decoding the gibberish my recording drive will be without a db21:37
CRXLPYfun fun fun21:37
CRXLPYso far this week I have had a missedtv box, not a mythtv box21:38
hadsStick to the released versions?21:39
CRXLPYafter a format?21:39
CRXLPYwhere do I find the people that know the trunk? I know you guys are just here for the non-dev stuff. I cant be the only one trying to use the trunk21:41
CRXLPYsince I swpped to trunk I know I am stuck with it if i dont want to trash 6mo of archives21:42
hadsYou can roll back the db schema manually if you know SQL21:43
CRXLPYthere were features in 22 I wanted , that is why I swapped, but after the past 3mo of entanglement I honestly forget what they were21:44
hadsI'm sure there are features in 0.22 that most people want, patience is the key.21:44
CRXLPYok so I guess I will end up applying the microsoft solution, that sux21:44
CRXLPYif rebooting dont fix it, reinstall and erase the logs, that way it looks like it never happened HAHAHA21:45
CRXLPYunfortunately I have so much recorded that I was unable to archive due to trunk being a complete waste of time, that I will be royally screwwed if I lose it. I spent alot of time on it.21:48
CRXLPYdo you know if the weekly builds are crap too hads?21:48
hadsI'm sure neither are crap, they do what they are supposed to do.21:49
CRXLPYbreak my system?21:49
hadsI'll say it again, if you aren't a developer or know what you're getting yourself into, stick with released software.21:50
CRXLPYI would like to know that someone has installed trunk and has mytharchive working , if I knew it was my system and not a broken pkg I would feel better about poking around21:51
kaelesyou may try in the mythtv upstream channel instead of here then?21:52
CRXLPYok that is what I wanted to know21:52
CRXLPYwait kaeles, they dont deal with ubuntu there. that is for mythtv21:53
CRXLPYthey will send me here cuz ubuntu doesnt compile, it is a bin dissy21:53
CRXLPYis there anyone here using the trunk repo's?21:54
kaelesthe problem your having is with mythtv though correct, you can also get the sources and compile yourself, even on debian and ubuntu, thats what the source repo's are for.21:59
foxbuntuCRXLPY, you are the one with the .22 install correct?22:25

javatexanI am making some minor adjustments to the mythbuntu-8.04 theme for the video-ui.xml file.... I would like to get rid of the video_poster, but when I do that it crashes myth when it rereads the .xml file.  Can I make it a blank picture or change the order it's drawn where the background prints over it?23:29
