[00:00] ok [00:00] one more issue [00:01] what can I do about data for the videos being erased when the vidoe manager asks to update? [00:02] are you going into the video manager from multiple frontends? [00:04] on the master backend, it asked to erase a video data and the previous metadata for all the other videos was erased... [00:04] err, don't tell it to erase metadata? [00:04] when prompted using the slave backend, it did the same [00:04] ah [00:05] did you mount the share in the same folder? [00:06] when I don't select no or no to all it gives double entries for the videos.....the double entries are without the metadata and cover art [00:06] I have nfs setup between the computers [00:07] williammanda, what is the video directory on your master backend [00:07] it is the standard mythbuntu .....hold on [00:07] /var/lib/mythtv/videos [00:08] ok, what is the video directory on your slave backend? [00:08] the same [00:08] ok, where did you mount your nfs video share? [00:08] I only mount one nfs share.... [00:09] right [00:09] and what is the mount point for it? [00:10] I have a separate HD that has some videos besides the standard mythbuntu nfs setup for videos [00:11] in export it is ... [00:11] no [00:11] ok [00:11] on [00:11] on your slave backend, what directory do you go into to see the movies in your master backend? [00:12] its the same for the master backend [00:12] what is setup ny mythbuntu [00:13] /var/lib/mythtv/vidoes [00:13] ok [00:13] will here is how mythvideo works [00:14] it keeps the directory where the videos are stored in the database [00:14] all frontends use this info, so on all frontends the videos have to be stored in the same path [00:14] ie, /var/lib/mythtv/videos [00:14] when you run the video manager, it will ask you to remove videos that it cannot find [00:15] which is what is happening in your situation [00:15] so you need to figure out why your slave backend cannot find the videos in the same path that your master backend can [00:16] ok [00:17] it seems that what you are saying is true..... [00:17] yea it should be [00:17] i've dealt alot with that exact problem [00:17] the videos I have a another drive are being erased [00:18] as I said I have another drive that has some videos [00:18] I set that up using nfs [00:18] and a simlink [00:19] these are the videos that have the metadata erased [00:20] I keep alot of videos on a separate hd so when I change dist I still have them [00:21] I set this hd up using nfs so I can view them once I make a change [00:21] Hi, hoping you can help with a problem. I just installed my first MythBuntu (8.10) using one PVR150 card. After everything seemed fine I added a second PVR150 card but can't seem to get this working. [00:23] MythbuntuGuest03, did you run mythtv-setup and add a second capture card? [00:25] Yes I added the second card, and scanned for channels which it found. I set it up with both it's own Video source and also tried the same one. But when I try to record two programs and try and switch between both to watch them I can only get to one of them, the other one just sends me back to the main menu [00:25] I haven't yet set a priority for these two cards, is that necessary? [00:25] ok so I just went and made a change and selected the video manager....I selected yes to all and the metadata and cover art is gone for the additional hd [00:26] !logs | MythbuntuGuest03 [00:26] williammanda, did you do that on the master BE or the SBE? [00:26] but I still have the metadata & cover art for the videos on the main HD [00:27] Master backend [00:27] williammanda, ok, so your videos directory has the vidoes in it then? [00:28] hmm [00:28] rhpot1991, where is Zinn? [00:28] MythbuntuGuest03, pastebin your logs, you can use mythbuntu-log-grabber and then post the link here [00:30] Zinn is based on fail :) [00:30] tgm4883, yes & no.... [00:31] I have videos in the /var/lib/mythtv/videos and I have videos from another hd that is simlinked from another hd [00:31] the videos from the other hd are the ones that are getting the metadata & cover art removed [00:32] tgm4883, http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f2a5d1c30 [00:35] MythbuntuGuest03, how fast is your computer, how much ram, hard drive info? [00:40] tgm4883, 2.2ghz, 1gb ram, 240gb hd (older sata model), really old videocard Nvidia mx4000 but that was all I had laying around [00:40] williammanda, so the symlinks are there right now, and are not broken? [00:40] tgm4883, yes I can play the videos [00:41] ok, get meta data for one of them, then exit and reenter the video manager [00:41] I want to see if it removes the metadata again [00:46] how are you going to see that? [00:47] you are going to tell me? [00:47] I already did [00:48] I will move a video if you want but the result will be the same [00:48] no, don't move the video [00:49] just update metadata for it, exit and reenter the video manager, and let me know if the metadata gets erased [00:49] ok...if I don't move a video...not happens....what is the result? [00:49] if you don't move a video, then then the metadata should stay right? [00:49] yes [00:50] well then i'm not sure what the problem is? [00:50] it seems to be working to me [00:50] if I do move a video then I have the problem [00:50] so don't move the video? [00:51] come on tgm4883 , that crazy [00:51] why is that crazy? [00:51] do you just move files around for the heck of it? [00:51] if I want to move a video...I shouldn't lose the metadata & cover art [00:52] mythtv defaults to recording videos to /var/lib/videos [00:53] A) why must you move the videos around? are you bored? [00:53] if I want to move it to another directory....the meatdata & cover art shouldn't erase [00:53] B) how if mythtv suppose to know where the video is if you move it around? [00:53] sec, let me check something [00:55] looks like in the DB the filename of the video is stored at the full path [00:55] so you may need to submit a patch for that [00:55] ok....listening to your argument...why doesn't mythtv let me assign where I want to locate the video to be stored? [00:56] * tgm4883 shrugs [00:56] cause that isn't how it was designed? [00:58] ok...aside from what I think should be normal....what should I do to make this work under mythtv? [00:58] How can I have a hd of videos... [00:59] I just don't see why you want to push around 4GB files so much [01:00] so That when I upgrade that mthtv will see it and keep the metadata [01:00] ok, so you have 2 hard drives with videos, and one is external? [01:02] no I have 2 drives....one with videos...one that I use for the distro...when it is installed [01:03] wait, then why are you moving videos around to other folders? [01:03] because mythtv only allows me to record to one directory [01:04] I don't get an option [01:05] things that I want to save ...I keep on the 2nd drive....things that I don't want to save are on the drive if I want to upgrade [01:06] I want to have a drive to make changes too [01:07] I want the ability to save something [01:07] hmm [01:07] let me ask you this... [01:08] is there anything you want to save when you do an upgrade? [01:08] if so ....where do you save it? [01:09] I do this with the other HD [01:10] AFAIK, if you it, you have to rescan it. No way around that. You may be able to select which drive videos get saved to if you setup mythvideo to use multiple directories [01:10] And all my content is stored on other drives/partitions. So if I do an upgrade it doesn't touch any of that [01:14] Yes I do a symlink so that I can see the other HD [01:14] yea, thats incorrectly setup though [01:15] look at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mediashares [01:16] wait...what do you mean incorrectly setup? [01:16] as in, don't use symlinks [01:16] setup mythvideo to look at multiple directories [01:17] ok [01:17] how do I do that? [01:17] look at the fricken link i've posted for you 2 times now [01:19] ok...be civil .....I see 1 link and am I'm trying to read it while we talk [01:20] heh, if you think that wasn't civil, wait until you see me pissed off [01:21] ok I'm not trying to do that so please restrain [01:21] what did I do to make you act that way? [01:22] have you found the section on that page yet? [01:22] i'll give you a hint, it's at the very bottom [01:23] ok...so answer my question...what did I do? [01:24] I though that we we working together to resolve problems [01:24] we are [01:25] i posted that link an hour and a half ago [01:27] MythbuntuGuest03, not sure the cause, but if you look at those logs you posted you have some major problems [01:30] ok sorry....my daughter was distracting me I didn't see it [01:31] tgm4883, I'm not familiar with reading these logs, where does it point towards major problems? [01:32] MythbuntuGuest03, any line with error (including the hundreds that repeat) [01:32] and also [01:32] # [01:32] Sep 7 16:29:09 pvr kernel: [ 3073.251651] ivtv1: All encoder YUV stream buffers are full. Dropping data. [01:32] # [01:32] Sep 7 16:29:09 pvr kernel: [ 3073.251654] ivtv1: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough. [01:34] tgm4883, sorry if I pissed you off....I was doing double time with my daughter ...just trying to solve a problem [01:35] I spend some time answering crap questions too on the ubuntu forum [01:37] anyway...thanks for your help [01:37] * tgm4883 is not pissed off [01:37] * tgm4883 is playing a game and helping out [01:37] you would be kicked if I was pissed off [01:37] I'm not one for playing games [01:38] thats too bad, Oblivion is pretty fun [01:39] ok.... [01:40] thanks for your help [01:40] np [01:45] ok one other question... [01:46] mythweather isn't working [01:46] I get a blank screen [01:47] I'm getting data down load but no output on the screen [01:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1260567 [02:12] tgm4883: good question [02:13] !status [02:13] I am alive. [02:14] tgm4883: no idea what happened, he was still running [02:19] tgm4883: you using xine still for videos? [02:26] Anyone having issues with audio and video sync? [02:26] I'm getting audio delayed by about 3 seconds... [02:27] I've checked the video, and it is in perfect sync === Shadow__1 is now known as Shadow__X [02:55] anyone have a suggestion as to why my myth install would suddenly stop scheduling new recordings? [02:55] even tho I can search for, and find the recordings manually? [03:06] I'm having problems with the mythbuntu installer. When I run it, nothing happens. this is on mythbuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso. [03:06] I burned a live CD, booted the box up under it, selected the "install" menu item, it gave me a mythbuntu desktop, I double click on "install" and some text flashes in the menu bar at the top, "Starting administrative application", then disappears, nothing happens. [03:06] Looking at the icon properties, it just invokes "ubiquity mythbuntu_ui". When I type that at the shell, it just returns without any messages. There's no --verbose flag for ubiquity. [03:31] puff, ubiquity errors are logged to /var/log/syslog [03:31] or if you run with --debug, they are put in /var/log/installer/* [03:32] Shadow__X, the wrapper script is to make sure you are in the right group [03:32] if you've got a better idea on how to recommend we do it, all ears :) [03:52] superm1: nope just asking [03:52] thanks for answering though i asked that awhile ago [03:52] i been out of town all weekend [03:52] no i am saying i am surprised you answered me because i asked awhile ago [03:52] thats alot of scroll back [03:54] oh :) i just look for things that have my name and answer those [03:54] i dont read "all" the scrollback [03:54] ah ok [03:54] well again thanks for the aswer [03:56] by anychance do you know how to stop nick hilight in irssi [03:56] when i was setting iti up i told it to hilick nick by accident [03:56] dont use irssi, so no sorry [03:57] its useful to leave on though [03:57] especially if you get responses several days later or something.. [03:57] right but not for nick [03:57] it hilights "nick" [03:58] lol [03:58] nvm i fixed it thanks though [03:59] and how come irssi is great esp coupled with screen [03:59] you can keep your irc session anywhere you go just reconnect [03:59] i like having a GUI for my IRC client, so i use xchat [03:59] and BIP as a proxy inbetween [03:59] so basically i can connect from any IRC client anywhere that i have access to the server i run BIP on [04:00] superm1: Thanks. I'll try that. Anything else I should look into? [04:00] its what me, tgm4883, rhpot1991, kirkland, foxbuntu` all do [04:01] puff, well use the ubuntu-bug tool to file a bug if it ends up being one [04:01] i think the syntax is "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" [04:01] BP? [04:01] which would upload all the right logs [04:01] Er, BIP? [04:01] superm1: Neat. [04:01] puff, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bip_IRC_Proxy [04:02] superm1: I use emacs irc mode as my client, and I leave it running under a detached screen. [04:02] Neat. [04:02] I might use that instead. [04:02] Though I still live most of my life in vt100 land. [04:02] at. [04:02] 23:01 < superm1> puff, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bip_IRC_Proxy [04:02] If it weren't for web browsing, I would live all of my life in vt100 land :-). [04:03] oh thats nifty [04:03] dont get me wrong, i can work pretty well for a lot of things in a terminal, but I appreciate not having to "know" all the things my app supports every so often [04:04] and being able to "click" to do things [04:04] I wonder how good BIP's architecture is, and if it could be adapted to support muds, too. [04:04] those are text based RPG's right? [04:05] Hm? [04:05] Well, some are, sure. [04:05] hmm yeah i agree sometimes gui is nice [04:05] They're chat systems with a zork-like metaphor. [04:05] that's all i ever remember hearing about them at least [04:05] but i am liking irssi [04:06] And often with a much, much more sophisticated programming model than IRC :-)". [04:07] Although muds have seldom (if ever) handled the distributed server thing as well as IRC. [08:08] superm1: Hm, well, it looks like the install is going alright this time around, no idea why it didn't work last time. The only "odd" detail is the "chassis intrused" error, but I'm still getting that. [15:17] puff: i wonder if MajorMUD is still around. Was into that a bit in the 90s. [21:04] Hi all, I just did a freah reinstall putting in 9.04. However my mouse, the gyration mce one, wasn't detected/installed right. every where I look its just talk about how its suppost to work out of the box. How do I redo the mouse setup/detect/etc? [21:05] it thinks it's a macintosh mouse for some reason (that's what's listed in the mouse settings) [21:12] I have no "inputdevice" entry in xorg.conf [21:13] oh nm, im looking at some old forum post [22:00] I have some troubles with the today weekly trunk build of mythfrontend. Anything known about this? http://pastebin.com/f316ad894 [22:01] gunni, try to start "mythfrontend -r" [22:02] No success: http://pastebin.com/f4b87e049 [22:03] hmm [22:03] try "mythfrontend -Theme=GANT" [22:04] Invalid argument: -Theme=GANT [22:04] mythfrontend -O theme=gant [22:04] But one good news: mythweb warnings seem fixed :) [22:05] -O theme=gant no success, too [22:06] Wait, i ll check if its only frontend related, by starting mythfrontend on the not updated laptop [22:06] ok starts on the laptop [22:15] luckyly this time the protocol version did not change, so i got one running frontend :) [23:45] I am running 9.04 and everything is working great with mythtv [23:45] I would like to use Hulu and youtube on this box as well though... [23:45] I installed firefox 3.5 and flash and that works fine [23:45] but the audio for flash isn't working [23:45] I've done a lot of searching and found a lot of things to try but none have worked [23:46] I was hoping someone in here might have some advice
