[00:00] hey superm1 i have an interesting thing that i observed with my broadcom 4322 in windows i get around 7MB/sec sustained in linux around 3 or so MB/sec in osx i get around 9MB/sec [00:00] :( [00:00] hmmm... is it a serious problem if mythtv can't write to the directory of a storage group? [00:02] mersault, only if you want mythtv to put files in that storage group [00:02] the backend is what does this not the frontend [00:02] just make sure the storage group has the group mythtv or user mythtv on it [00:02] this is done by default in our install [00:02] well, I'm mounting two directories over NFS, and mythtv is NOT the owner of any of the files [00:03] and can't be. [00:03] but I'm mounting them on the backend [00:03] tgm4883: have uploaded the output of mythfrontend -v playback [00:03] in future, one of the directories will be mounted directly in the backend [00:09] mersault, what are you using NFS for? [00:09] * tgm4883 notes that that sounded more condescending that it was supposed to [00:10] I have two mythbackends running in Xen as virtual machines (one is 9,04, one is 9.10beta) [00:11] while Xen will LET you mount a single FS as r/w in two VMs at once, that doesn't necessarily make it a good idea [00:11] so while I test out the beta, some stuff it delivered over NFS [00:12] once I'm happy, I'll reconfigure the VMs so that the new one mounts the filesystems directly [00:12] yes, this is all needlessly complicated. [00:14] oh, and I use compact flash cards as the HD in my frontend, so I can just swap out the 9.04 frontend for the 9.10 frontend in as long as it takes to reboot it [00:14] anyway, I gotta clean the fishtank, so I'll be afk [00:40] Hello - If my remote seems to be sending too many repeat signals when I hit the "enter" key, would I need to play with the min_repeat in the config file or the max-repeat on the lircd daemon command? [00:55] I've tried them all and even repeat=6 in my lircrc but the enter/return button on the remote sends too many signals [02:12] so I see that 9.10 beta is out [02:12] anyone running it? [02:12] I'm thinking baout grabbing it for VDPAU [02:15] I see the karmic release is expected 10-29-2009... is that legit?! [02:15] seems crazy fast [02:16] take a look at how rapidly updates are getting pushed once you install and you'll believe it [02:16] i think mersault said that with a fresh install of beta he had 277 to do yesterday [02:17] wow [02:17] well... in that case, I won't touch my install yet [02:17] I'll just wait for release [02:17] that has a better WAF :-) [02:17] she doesn't like beta [02:17] LOL [02:18] Anyone know about this? "enabling overlay directory for mythbuntu-diskless" [02:18] well did we say anything about those 277 updates breaking anything? [02:18] :) [02:19] no... and I'd be fine with it [02:19] but she's scared fo the word beta [02:20] This is on 22228 + fixes (JYA) [02:21] and now hulu desktop is on linux too [02:39] Maybe it stalls when FE is playing, seems to have got past that on re-booting ...now is it building an image? [02:42] Upstream mythtv group is closing in on 500 changes in the past 3.25 weeks. Much of it is theme related, but even still. [03:54] is there a way to force the install of the proprietary nvidia drivers? I just did a re-install of 9.04. The last time I got prompted to install them but for some reason this time I am not [03:56] d__finn, assuming you where using the 180 version (there are others) "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" should work [04:02] ok, i'll give that a try [04:02] is 180 the standard for 9.04 using the default repos? [04:07] d__finn, it's what Ubuntu suggests [04:08] excellent, thanks [04:23] so after getting all the latest updates I know get the prompt to install the drivers [04:23] but...now sudo is not working [04:25] wierd, it works if I ssh into the box but doest not work when using a terminal window from within X [04:27] reboot fixed it, very strange [06:28] I have standard 9.10 beta and recently the task list on top of page always shows even when mythfrontend has focus. Anyone know how to work around ? [06:28] I'm using the default xfce [07:30] ok if it helps anyone else, I have sorted my xfce task bar not hiding by changing in .config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml [08:55] Hi I am newbie, with a mythbuntu installation with one slave backend-front end, laptops that run frontends. I need help with setting up diskless boot and understand why only one frontend may have the live tv at time, please help. [09:02] The number of frontends using live-tv (zapping) depends on the number of tuners. but if one frontend watches a movie, all other frontends can watch the same movie. That is, because everything you watch is recorded. and other frontends can play back these recordings. [09:05] mindoms: I have a dual Tuner hauppage card, I have my decoder (set top box) running to it by RCA and tried to have normal terrestrial broadcast run to the card as well but no luck. So I should be able to what at least two live tv sessions? [09:08] i guess it depends on the card. but i got no experiences with these cards. im using usb-dvb-sticks... [09:09] abongile1: but googling for [09:09] [your card] same-time [09:09] might answer your question :) [09:10] Oh ok, while I am at it, I have ripped some DVD's using DVD:rip, some rip fine, but I get a lot where the sound and video is out of sync, I have tried to play them in VLC and try to use the option to speed up or slow down the sound done work. Is the app I can use to sort this out? and Mythtv won't play some of my ripped DVD's which are still have the .VOB and Sound folders separate from the hard driver, I added the file extentio [09:11] mindom: I have been up and down the internet, I am newbie so some of what I get is good just that my knowledge is incomplete so I am often left feeling like I don't know what to do, how to phrase my search string or question, that's where it get's frustrating. [09:17] hm. ssry, but i guess youll need to wait for somebody who actually knows something [09:18] mindom, thanks! [09:19] mindom: So what's you're installation and experience like so far? [09:28] im running a 24/7 intel atom as backend/frontend. a usb-dvb-t stick as tuner (were 2 before) a pc and a laptop as frontend. mostly using mythweb to record stuff. not using live-tv a lot. i got it running for about 2 years and the most problem come from the bed reception from the antenna :/ [09:29] bed=bad [09:30] only half of the channels have commercial breaks, but commflag really does a good job there [09:39] mindoms: I really hope that in two years I will be well on my way to fiddling cause I want to improve something and not cause something isn't or I canmake it work. Here's a problem that just cropped up, I installed the Ubuntu netbook release on intel atom little box, the goal is to use test, so if I am happy then make it my standard remote frontend device. Here's my challenge, I have just install UNR changed to classic deskptop [12:34] morning [12:34] hi [12:39] I think the file sort in mythvideo for TV series is broken [12:40] it lists House season 1 as 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 20 21 22 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [12:47] am I missing an option somewhere, or is it really a bug? [13:21] i can't play mythvideo video's for some reason [13:22] they are listed put playing them does nothing [13:28] any errors? [13:35] nope [13:35] just stays there [13:36] guess i can bring this one up with the myth developers... right now..my main issue is my hvr-1600 remote not working...pain going up to the keyboard everytime i want to to change channel [13:40] do oyu have any tv series in mythvideo? [13:41] yeah [13:43] can you have a look at the ordering? see if it does 1, 2, 3 or 1, 10, 11 [13:45] ok [13:45] let me go check [13:47] 1,2,3,4.. [13:47] hmm [13:47] why is mine different then [13:49] i'm using 9.10 beta [13:54] I'm using .22 [13:57] yeah [13:57] same here [13:58] try #mythtv-users ? [14:26] problem fixed :D [14:27] what was it? [14:27] ah filter sort stuff [17:56] I have my box set up to blank the screen if there is no activity for 1 minute [17:56] it is disabled when there is video playback [17:57] but it seems that if i fast forward / rewind, the auto-blank is reenabled after I press play again [17:58] I recently installed mythbuntu 9.10, but LiveTV keeps crashing on me [17:59] is there any debugging symbols available for the myth packages so I can debug it [18:00] I believe that if you run with -v it may give an error message that gives you an idea where to look [18:00] olejl1: it is supposed to be there, but is broken. [18:00] mrand: are you mark randolph? [18:01] I think you can build it yourself and get symbols. it's the automated builds that are messed up. -v playback and maybe important,extra, etc is about the best we have at the moment. [18:01] Seeker`: yes [18:01] ah, cool. I'm the one with the video bug you opened [18:01] cool. [18:02] Glad to see you hanging around. [18:02] I have to come and go a lot. [18:02] do you kn if anyone know if the debug build will be available soon? [18:03] We're hoping the auto builds will have symbols this week, but we honestly don't know for certain at this point. It's painful for us because we're getting reports and can't act on them. [18:03] I don't want to start compiling myself, I've had some bad experiences with it earlier. Switched to Mythbunto to avoid that hassle [18:03] ok but that sounds good [18:03] olejl1: from what I understand, checking out everything from launchpad is not as difficult. But I haven't had the time to do it myself. [18:05] launchpad? Is that the repository for mythbuntu? [18:05] anyone else have issues with screen blanking [18:05] launchpad is a bug/support/code tracker created by canonical [18:05] lots of projects are based there [18:05] its a bit like sourceforge [18:06] Seeker` is correct. Technically it is bzr that contains the source and build related stuff. [18:08] Well, I guess it's really a combo... you use bzr to access lp: [18:10] is it DPMS that deals with auto-blanking of the screen being disabled /enabled? [18:12] Possibly. I'm guessing that other things could do it too. Sorry, still learning lots of the little corners. [18:13] np [18:13] trying to track down where the bug is [18:14] trying to get an idea of where I should be looking [18:15] I typically search the ubuntu forums and/or google it. No problem is ever new... someone else has certainly run into it before. [18:24] Anyone know what could be the problem? http://pastebin.com/d60966b0b [18:31] no idea, sorry [18:31] is there eough free HDD space? [18:32] correct file permissions etc? [18:32] I suppose file permissions are OK since this happens after 2-15 minutes of LiveTV [18:34] Sorry, I don't have a good idea either. Remote frontend or not? Are you updated to the latest revision/update? [18:35] yeah it is remote frontend [18:35] I'm running r22304 [18:35] I have 44GB remaining diskspace [18:37] I saw now that the backend is r22304 and the FE is 22350 [18:40] Probably won't kill anything, but I'd go ahead and update the backend. [18:44] sniff, mythfrontend crashes on my hd-dvd rip [18:44] gonna try a blu-ray rip for size [18:54] anyone using sbackup for backups?
