[00:00] <puff> themolest: Hm, okay, I'll try a memtest.
[00:04] <idget5> how do i tell if the backend is running?
[00:07] <scovel> are you logged into the backend machine?
[00:07] <puff> I'm just a mythtv beginner, but try "ps -ef | fgrep -i back"
[00:08] <scovel> ps aux | grep mythbackend
[00:08] <idget5> k
[00:09] <scovel> sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status
[00:09] <scovel> probably a little nicer...
[00:09] <puff> themolest: Harrum... some of the folks at ubuntuforums.org are seeing results that suggest it might be some problem with existing partitions... so, if memtest doesn't turn anything up, I'll boot into a liveCD and fdisk the drive first...
[00:10] <idget5> scovel, that worked, thx
[00:10] <scovel> np
[00:10] <idget5> cant figure it out... backend is running, but when i click watch tv, nothing...
[00:11] <scovel> can you watch recording?
[00:12] <idget5> files cannot be found
[00:13] <idget5> they are listed, but not found
[00:13] <scovel> tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log should tell you if the backend is doing anything
[00:13] <scovel> has this been working and it stopped?
[00:13] <hipitihop> orificium: sorry wnet to bed... the answer is no sounds throughout however I found the following link which I followed to the letter and it now works: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/08/31/upgrade-alsa-1-0-21-on-ubuntu-jaunty-9-04/
[00:13] <idget5> i switched tuners, got the new h 1600
[00:14] <idget5> now i get nothing
[00:14] <idget5> but the channels are all found
[00:14] <scovel> that shouldn't effect recordings.  You didn't happen to run the backend setup thingy and mess with the storage groups?
[00:15] <idget5> L: '2008_20090908220000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
[00:15] <idget5> 2009-09-17 19:14:29.583 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL: '2008_20090908220000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
[00:15] <idget5> same info over and over
[00:15] <tgm4883> scovel, thanks for the info, i'm looking into it
[00:15] <idget5> naw, didnt change the groups
[00:15] <scovel> ok, do you know where you are storing your recording?
[00:16] <idget5> the default location
[00:16] <gbutters> !bl | idget5
[00:16] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about bl
[00:16] <gbutters> !bl% | idget5
[00:16] <Zinn> idget5: 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
[00:16] <scovel> LOL, I have no idea what that is...
[00:16] <scovel> can you look in the default location and see if there are any mpg files there
[00:16] <idget5> k
[00:17] <idget5> k zinn also. ill look into it, thx both you
[00:19] <tgm4883> scovel, I see what happened. I can't fix that right now, but can when I get home
[00:20] <scovel> k, good luck.  I'll try to get the files later
[00:22] <tgm4883> scovel, which release are you trying to download?
[00:23] <scovel> 9.04
[00:23] <scovel> direct download is taking FOREVER
[00:24] <scovel> I tried the torrent link and get the MySql error.  Same error getting the MD5SUM
[00:24] <tgm4883> scovel, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/9.04/release/
[00:24] <tgm4883> you can grab the torrent from there as well
[00:25] <tgm4883> scovel, yea, what happened was the web server went down, so we switched to a backup. The backup apparently doesn't have the MD5SUM or torrents on there
[00:26] <scovel> ok, thanks
[00:27] <scovel> my frontend is running Gentoo.  DO NOT WANT.  Thought I'd give Mythbuntu a try since all my other machines are Kubuntu these days.
[00:27] <idget5> k, i set permissions, so atleast now they are mythtv. but still no joy
[00:32] <scovel> I'd run the backend setup and make sure recordings are going where you think they are.  While you are in there you can make sure your tuner is configured properly.
[00:33] <hipitihop> although I have managed to play a cd and a dvd using vlc from the normal ubuntu menus... mythtv won't play either. How do I  get mythtv to play an inserted dvd from myth menus
[00:33] <idget5> i am going to change the dir, just in case...
[00:37] <scovel> hipitihop, do you have a menu option "Optical Discs"
[00:42] <idget5> brb
[00:54] <hipitihop> scovel: yes I have optical disks option
[01:21] <idget51> k, i noticed if the backend is not running, the frontend wont go to blank, then homepage. it will tell me it cant connect to backend, which means the backend is doing something wrong and pushed the "watch Tv" back  to homepage of mythtv
[01:25] <gbutters> !bl% | idget51
[01:25] <Zinn> idget51: 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
[02:47] <tgm4883> website downloads for torrents and MD5SUMS are fixed
[04:00] <orificium_> I'm running latest trunk,  vdpau is on (otherwise audio stutters), nvidia 750a mobo with 8300/8400 chipset, recently recorded Fringe from HD stream over QAM on local Cable lines,  but the frame jitter makes it unwatchable.  Anythin I can do to improve it?
[04:03] <orificium_> Have similar issues in VLC and mplayer unfortunately.
[04:04] <superm1> start out by turning down the deinterlacer with vdpau
[04:04] <superm1> from 2x to 1x or so
[04:04] <orificium_> it's off
[04:04] <superm1> oh and fox is progressive scan anyway
[04:05] <orificium_> Ok, so deinterlace only applies to 1080i?
[04:06] <superm1> yeah
[04:06] <superm1> so next thing to do is go into nvidia-settings
[04:06] <superm1> and turn off vsync
[04:06] <orificium_> learning ssmoethign new everyday :)
[04:06] <superm1> i'm not sure if that does anything for vdpau though
[04:06] <orificium_> yeah I turned off the Enable OpeGL vertical sync for timing
[04:07] <superm1> there is one for xv too
[04:07] <orificium_> Yeah, that's on
[04:07] <superm1> but i dont think it does anything for vdpau
[04:07] <superm1> try turning it off
[04:07] <orificium_> ok
[04:07] <orificium_> woud Ineed to restart?
[04:08] <superm1> it takes effect immediately
[04:09] <orificium_> Hm, still looks about the same.  Anything I could try?
[04:10] <orificium_> I'm using a brisbane 4600  45W
[04:10] <superm1> those are the big ones.  check the forntend and backend logs to see if they're complaining about a dirty recording at all
[04:10] <superm1> if that's the cause of it, then you're gonna have a hard time getting the box to keep up
[04:11] <superm1> they wont go out and say dirty recording, but they would talk about missing frames and such
[04:11] <superm1> if you have a more powerful box, try to scp the recordings over to that and make sure it can handle them
[04:12] <orificium_> Unfortunately I don't have anything else at the moment.  I thought about transcoding it.
[04:14] <orificium_> ARe the logs in /var/log?
[04:14] <orificium_> indeed they are
[04:16] <orificium_> I see prebuffering pause and and buffer underrun
[04:19] <orificium_> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Troubleshooting:Prebuffering_pause might be my friend
[04:35] <orificium_> hm, once its stopped transcoding, where does that version reside?
[05:17] <superm1> it replaces the file
[05:59] <oobe> anyone have probs with mythvideo and jump points
[05:59] <oobe> in trunk
[06:00] <oobe> also video listings doesnt remember last position
[06:39] <hondo> Is there a place to turn on Bob deinterlacing in Jaunty
[06:39] <hondo> ?
[07:34] <dserban_> wow I remember why I hate lirc
[08:50] <oobe> hondo of course there is
[15:38] <jcm100> Has anyone been using 9.10 alpha 6 yet?
[19:19] <jcm100> anyone here?
[19:23] <_ben> superm1: Yo, we were discussing the weekly builds - any idea when an updated one might appear in karmic?
[19:57] <tgm4883> _ben, in karmic officially? or just packages built for karmic?
[19:58] <_ben> officially i guess, the buildy thingy broke didn't it? and stopped pushing to the karmic repo
[20:01] <tgm4883> _ben, I don't think so, let me check
[20:02] <tgm4883> _ben, looks fine to me https://edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/trunk-0.22
[20:04] <superm1> _ben, in karmic itself?  or automatic builds?
[20:05] <superm1> automatic should be happening automagically still
[20:05] <superm1> we were in the middle of a freezish for a6 so nothing has been pushed to the archive for karmic for a few days
[20:05] <superm1> so hopefully during or after the weekend an updated snapshot to karmic is in ordedr
[20:06] <_ben> ah, ok - cheers =)
[23:48] <puff> themolest: Heya... ran memtest, found no problems.
[23:49] <puff> themolest: I thought I remembered burning the CD at a lower speed, but not at speed 1.  Turns out that it was the lowest speed possible in CD/DVD creator, 4.7.  Brasero also doesn't go lower than 4.
