| hads | 4GB/hr sounds about right. It depends on the source. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| puff | Well, yeah,I'm sure HD will take more. | 00:05 |
| wolfspirit | does anyone know where to find the frequency id of a channel? I'm trying to add a channel manually since one channel didn't come through on the scan. I have the xmlid and other info, I just need the frequency | 00:26 |
| hipitihop | Just thought I should mention (the other day I also mentioned that some recording were being missed altogether) this morning I had the Brazilian F1 GP scheduled to be recorded @ 2:45am finishing @ 5:00am and it only recorded last 19 minutes. Recorded details screen said 2:45 | 03:32 |
| hipitihop | mythbackend.log shows no recording activity @ 2:45..... only thing I can see is a fair few "Reschedule requested for id -1." every 5 minutes or so, no idea what those are. | 03:43 |
| hipitihop | anyone know what this is about ? "[mpeg2video @ 0x7f501685f820]ac-tex damaged at 26 32" ...."2009-10-19 00:16:37.587 [mpeg2video @ 0x7f501685f820]Warning MVs not available" | 03:44 |
| puff | Evening, I'm having a bit of a problem with mythbuntu. | 03:45 |
| puff | It boots up, goes into X, starts booting up mythv, then the screen goes blank. | 03:45 |
| foxbuntu | hipitihop, seems like an encoder failure (i.e. tuner) | 03:45 |
| puff | Oh, hey fox, ltns.. | 03:45 |
| foxbuntu | puff, blank... or black? | 03:46 |
| puff | foxbuntu: So I poked around for a bit and finally decided to reinstall from scratch. | 03:46 |
| foxbuntu | puff, ok | 03:46 |
| puff | Blank; the monitor goes into no-video-being-received mode, the poewr button turns orange. ctrl-alt-shift-f1 brings up a console. | 03:46 |
| foxbuntu | puff, I know I talked to you, but I dont recall for what | 03:46 |
| puff | You helped me add the 1TB drive. | 03:46 |
| foxbuntu | oh right | 03:46 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 03:46 |
| puff | An explanation just occurred tome... I shut it down the other night, somehow, I don't recall how (we were running around like madmen getting ready for a party). | 03:47 |
| puff | But I reember being surprised when the mythtv startup screen reappeared on the monitor before shutting down. | 03:47 |
| foxbuntu | puff, what video card are you using? | 03:47 |
| puff | Which leads me to suspect maybe it's working just fine, but it's going into video-to-the-TV mode. | 03:47 |
| puff | Dangit, I knew this at one point. | 03:48 |
| puff | Lemme check dmesg. | 03:48 |
| puff | It was a fairly decent one a few years ago, came iwth on-board video out. | 03:48 |
| foxbuntu | puff, lspci | grep video | 03:49 |
| puff | I'm mainly using this to play video, right now, still shopping for a cablecard (planning to get the HD Home Run, I think). | 03:49 |
| puff | Hm, no output. | 03:49 |
| foxbuntu | puff, actually make that: lspci | grep V | 03:49 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yeah, the HDHR is very nice | 03:50 |
| puff | nvidia nv43 geforce 6600 rev a2 | 03:50 |
| foxbuntu | ah ok | 03:50 |
| hipitihop | anyone know what ""Reschedule requested for id -1." is in mythbackend.log ? | 03:50 |
| foxbuntu | puff, did you select the nvidia driver or the open source driver on install? | 03:51 |
| puff | One thing, will the HD come with a remote or will I have to get that separately? | 03:51 |
| puff | I'm pretty sure I selected the nvidia driver. | 03:51 |
| foxbuntu | hipitihop, Im not sure, but have you tried googling around for it? | 03:51 |
| * hipitihop blushes and scrambles off to google | 03:52 | |
| foxbuntu | hipitihop, also, asking over and over the same question in IRC is impolite, ask and wait for an answer | 03:52 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sudo lsmod | grep nvidia | pastebinit | 03:53 |
| hipitihop | foxbuntu: acknowledged. Just wasn't sure if it was lost amongst the main question. sorry. | 03:53 |
| puff | foxbuntu: So, should I reinstall with the open source driver? | 03:53 |
| puff | nvidia 7233756 30 | 03:53 |
| foxbuntu | hipitihop, np, just an FYI, some people will get upset over that kind of thing | 03:54 |
| puff | And agpgart 42696 2 nvidia,intel_agp. | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | puff, oh right, no internet | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | puff, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep [EE] | 03:56 |
| puff | Lotsa text :-). | 03:56 |
| puff | Loooks like it's the NVIDIA TV Encoder. | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | puff, can you copy/paste it to pastebin? | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | !pastebin | 03:57 |
| Zinn | when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 03:57 |
| puff | No, still no net on that box. | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | are you doing this one the console or ssh? | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | on* | 03:57 |
| puff | console. | 03:58 |
| foxbuntu | puff, move to ssh | 03:58 |
| puff | Can't get in via ssh through the airgap firewall. | 03:58 |
| foxbuntu | you dont have another device on the same network? | 03:58 |
| puff | I really need to find that spool of cat5 cable and run a line down here. | 03:58 |
| puff | The device isn't on a nework at all. | 03:58 |
| foxbuntu | oh | 03:59 |
| puff | The mythbox is un-networked, until I can find 50' of cat5 cable. | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | well without seeing the log I am really unsure what to tell you | 03:59 |
| puff | What were you trying to ascertain? | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | puff, can you move it to a location to get it connection for now? | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | puff, m really just in discovery mode atm | 04:00 |
| puff | Ah, okay. | 04:00 |
| puff | Well one thing I can test without disassembling it and carting it upstairs is just reconnecting the s-video out cable to the TV and seeing if it's sending signal to the TV. | 04:00 |
| puff | It would shut off video out ot the monitor in that case, right? | 04:00 |
| foxbuntu | shoul | 04:01 |
| foxbuntu | d | 04:01 |
| hads | hipitihop: The error you posted "[mpeg2video @ 0x7f501685f820]ac-tex damaged a" is bad reception or something corrupting the recording | 04:01 |
| foxbuntu | puff, did you select TV out in the install? | 04:01 |
| puff | I'm not sure I remember seeing a screen where you select that. | 04:02 |
| puff | I remember selecting s-video out, though. | 04:02 |
| foxbuntu | puff, its on the same one as the video driver select | 04:03 |
| foxbuntu | ah | 04:03 |
| foxbuntu | that will do it | 04:03 |
| foxbuntu | yeah, you Xorg is configured to move over to s-vid then | 04:03 |
| puff | Yup, that's what it's doing. | 04:04 |
| foxbuntu | ah | 04:04 |
| puff | Okay, so the next step is to make sure it knows about the terabyte drive. | 04:04 |
| foxbuntu | well then its not an error | 04:04 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:04 |
| puff | I was kinda hoping that it would spot the extra drive on bootup and offer to use it as well. | 04:04 |
| foxbuntu | neg | 04:05 |
| foxbuntu | so we need to setup that drive again eh? | 04:05 |
| foxbuntu | bye puff | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 04:06 |
| puff | Dangit | 04:06 |
| puff | I was just about to say, fortunately I have the notes from last week still in my irc client buffer. | 04:06 |
| puff | Then my irc client died :-(. | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | whoops | 04:08 |
| foxbuntu | puff, I suggest BIP for you | 04:08 |
| foxbuntu | puff, thats a story for another day, and frankly might be a good topic for my next blog post | 04:08 |
| puff | foxbuntu: Now, /etc/fstab shows three UUIDs, one ext3 for / on /dev/sda1, one xfs for /var/lib on /dev/sda6, and one for swap on /dev/sda5. | 04:08 |
| puff | BIP? | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | puff, its an IRC proxy so you are always connected and everything gets logged | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | puff, you can google it | 04:09 |
| puff | hm. | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | puff, are the UUIDs all the same? | 04:10 |
| puff | Funny you should mention that... yeah, I have an auto-log. Cool. | 04:10 |
| puff | No, the UUId ar eall unique. | 04:10 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:10 |
| puff | df -h does not show the 1TB drive, though. | 04:10 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:10 |
| foxbuntu | thats fine | 04:11 |
| foxbuntu | thats what I would expect | 04:11 |
| BlueSteel | hey guys, I have a question related to mythtv (since upgrading from intrepid -> jaunty) my combined FE+BE is now pausing during livetv every few minutes, and it has to take another 5-10 seconds to start playing again | 04:11 |
| puff | fdisk -l does show it. | 04:11 |
| foxbuntu | puff, ls /dev/sd* | 04:11 |
| BlueSteel | I think the issue is filesystem/disk related, does anyone know what steps to verify this and fix it? | 04:11 |
| hads | !logs | 04:11 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 04:11 |
| hads | BlueSteel: ^ | 04:12 |
| BlueSteel | ok, i'll ssh in and try that | 04:12 |
| hipitihop | hads: so is that likely to be just something minor and intermittent ? this is an over the air digital tuner, so occasional audio or signal based glitches are not uncommon | 04:12 |
| hads | correct | 04:12 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sounds like all we need to do is mount it | 04:12 |
| BlueSteel | yes it's DVB-T, I live in australia | 04:12 |
| puff | Got sda, da1, sda2, sda5, sda6, sdb, sdb1. | 04:12 |
| puff | Add it to /etc/fstab? | 04:13 |
| puff | And mount it? | 04:13 |
| hipitihop | hads: I assume it is just reporting that and any activity especially recording, is likely to just continue as normal ? | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | puff, need to make a spot to mount it | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sudo mkdir /mythtv. | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | whoops | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | no . | 04:13 |
| puff | What's a "natural" spot for bulk data to live in mythtv? | 04:13 |
| hads | Naughty foxbuntu | 04:13 |
| hads | Put it under /mnt or /srv or something | 04:14 |
| foxbuntu | hads, yes, I personally chose doing this for a reason | 04:14 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I have several drives in each of my machines and use th SGs | 04:14 |
| puff | Any preferences? | 04:14 |
| foxbuntu | hads, so each drive gets mounted into /mythtv/store[n] | 04:14 |
| hads | hipitihop: It should continue as normal I believe | 04:15 |
| puff | okay, created. | 04:15 |
| puff | Now add to /etc/fstab? | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yup | 04:15 |
| hads | foxbuntu: /srv/mythtv/store[n] or /mnt/ or something. Top level is naughty. | 04:15 |
| BlueSteel | oh btw, the whole system system on my TV box (FE+BE on same box) is ext3, could this be causing issues? many people seem to be running JFS or some other filesystem for their mythtv recordings / temporary recordings | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I know...but I like naaaaaughty | 04:15 |
| puff | From my log: /dev/sda1 /mythtv/ ext3 defaults 0 0 | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | puff, you got t | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | puff, actually | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | /dev/sdb1* | 04:16 |
| hads | Make the last 0 a 2 also | 04:16 |
| foxbuntu | hads, why is that? | 04:16 |
| * foxbuntu is not 100% with fstab | 04:16 | |
| hads | That way if it's a dirty filsystem it will get fsck at boot. | 04:16 |
| puff | Cool, mounts with no errors. | 04:16 |
| foxbuntu | puff, cool | 04:17 |
| foxbuntu | hads, ah alright | 04:17 |
| hads | foxbuntu: / entry should be 1 then all others > 1 | 04:17 |
| hads | Unless you want no check then 0 | 04:17 |
| puff | Okay, so now I have to tell mythtv about the disk, right? | 04:17 |
| foxbuntu | hads, for me, I would want no check...but thats me | 04:17 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yup | 04:18 |
| foxbuntu | puff, mythtv-setup | 04:18 |
| hads | foxbuntu: No check is fine, it just means it won't mount if it's dirty. | 04:18 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then its Storage Directories | 04:18 |
| puff | Well, mythtv is already running X on the svideo-out UI. | 04:18 |
| foxbuntu | hads, yeah...I am ok with that for my system...most might not | 04:18 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then use ESC to close out of it | 04:18 |
| hads | BlueSteel: ext3 is okay, there are other choices but ext still works. | 04:19 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then in the Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup | 04:19 |
| hads | foxbuntu: Yeah, the only problem in some situations if it doesn't mount and the user doesn't notice then a recording can fill up / and make bad things happen. | 04:19 |
| foxbuntu | hads, agreed | 04:20 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I will besure to tell users 2 from now on :) | 04:20 |
| foxbuntu | (or higher) | 04:20 |
| hads | And... no top level weird directories :) | 04:20 |
| foxbuntu | hads, lmao | 04:20 |
| puff | Whoops, I was off mucking with mythtv and didn'tsee what you said. I ended up opening a terminal in the s-video out screen and running mythtv-setup. Is tha tokay? | 04:20 |
| puff | This would be easier if I could use the keyboard while seeing the screen :-). | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I will have all users uninstall xfce, install irssi and watching TV matrix style, does that work for you? | 04:21 |
| puff | I really need to rearrange stuff here. | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | puff, no close them both out then open mythtv-setup back up | 04:21 |
| puff | Close "both"? | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | puff, from what I read you left mythfrontend open? | 04:22 |
| puff | I exited out of the mythtv UI, but it was still sending X to the Svideo out. | 04:22 |
| foxbuntu | oh ok | 04:22 |
| foxbuntu | then you are fine | 04:22 |
| foxbuntu | my misread | 04:22 |
| puff | I think at tht point I was on the x desktop. | 04:22 |
| puff | At least it more or less acted like the X desktop. | 04:22 |
| foxbuntu | puff, well its Xfce on X server | 04:23 |
| hipitihop | hey BlueSteel, where are you based ? I'm on Sunshine Coast, QLD ... have you got grabber setup and which are you using ? | 04:24 |
| puff | Okay, so now storage directories, it's listing default, hitatch (the 1TB), create live TV group, create db backup group, create new group. | 04:24 |
| foxbuntu | puff, now you know where it is, here is what I generally do.... | 04:25 |
| foxbuntu | puff, I create a directory structure like /mythtv/store0/recordings/ livetv/ db_backups/ ect ect | 04:25 |
| puff | right, create that at the shell or through this menu? | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then you just add those paths to the Storage Groups that already exist | 04:26 |
| puff | Are there any storage groups that already exist? default? | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | puff, you can add them in there first if you like, but it will complain | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | puff, default is the recordings | 04:26 |
| puff | So, a) create the directory structure with mkdir | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | puff, and *add* it is key so it will use both drives | 04:27 |
| puff | b) select Storage Directories, then [create new group]? | 04:27 |
| puff | I don't see an option labeled add. | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | puff, edit the existing groups | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then you will see an option to add an entry | 04:28 |
| foxbuntu | ...inside the existing groups | 04:28 |
| puff | I don't see an edit option. | 04:28 |
| foxbuntu | just highlight and hit enter | 04:28 |
| puff | I have at the top, 1. general 2. capture cards, 3. video sources, 4. input connections, 5. channel editor, 6 storage directories. | 04:28 |
| foxbuntu | 6 | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | highlight default | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | ht enter on default | 04:29 |
| puff | When I select storage directories, I see a title at the top, Storage Groups, then default, hitatchi, create livetv group], | 04:29 |
| puff | Okw7. | 04:29 |
| puff | Ah-hah, /var/lib/mythtvrecordings and (add new directory) | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | add new :) | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | there you have it figured out | 04:30 |
| puff | So, 1) create the directories iwth mkdir, 2) add them here.. | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | I know that menu is less than intuitive | 04:30 |
| puff | What's store0 about? Just chunking them up? | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | puff, no need to actually do that, just habit for me | 04:30 |
| puff | OkayOkay, so just mkdir /mythth/recordings | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | puff, also: sudo chown mythtv:mythtv -R /mythtv/ | 04:31 |
| puff | What's db_backups about? | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sorry, thats a later version of mythtv | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | puff, there are many more Storage Groups in the next version of mythtv | 04:32 |
| foxbuntu | only create the directories need for the groups you already have | 04:32 |
| puff | Okay. | 04:33 |
| puff | Okay, added. | 04:36 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:36 |
| foxbuntu | then you should be set | 04:37 |
| foxbuntu | it will handle putting the data where there is free space | 04:37 |
| puff | created /mnt/mythtv/recordings, chown -R mythtv.mythtv, went to UI and added new directory. | 04:37 |
| foxbuntu | puff, is your 1TB mounted to /mnt/mythtv ? | 04:37 |
| puff | So, now I just copy the media files over from the old drive onto the terabyte drive? | 04:37 |
| puff | Yes. | 04:37 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:38 |
| foxbuntu | what? | 04:38 |
| puff | And it's in /etc/fstab so it should automatically mount in the future. | 04:38 |
| puff | Yes it's mounted. | 04:38 |
| foxbuntu | I mean what media files? | 04:38 |
| puff | Oh, I have a bunch of movies such. | 04:38 |
| foxbuntu | old recordings? dvds/videos/music? | 04:38 |
| foxbuntu | oh | 04:38 |
| puff | movies and such. | 04:39 |
| puff | We were using them with a mac mini and a svideo out adapter dongle and vlc. | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | well you have a few options | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | go create a Storage Group (which I suggest) | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | or just create a directory | 04:39 |
| puff | I created a storage group, I thought. | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | you did | 04:40 |
| foxbuntu | for recordings | 04:40 |
| puff | Ah. | 04:40 |
| foxbuntu | you need one for videos | 04:40 |
| puff | So create another one for directly uploaded media.. | 04:40 |
| puff | Okay. | 04:40 |
| foxbuntu | so same steps again | 04:40 |
| foxbuntu | but this time create your own SG then add the directory to it | 04:41 |
| hads | 0.22 Storate groups are cool. | 04:41 |
| foxbuntu | hads, indeed they are | 04:41 |
| puff | So, mkdir, chown, then esc back out of default and make a new group, enter that group, add the new directoryd?. | 04:41 |
| foxbuntu | yup | 04:42 |
| foxbuntu | hads, you will be coming all the way to UDS right? | 04:42 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 04:43 |
| hads | Too far away for me. Where is it this year anyway? | 04:43 |
| foxbuntu | Dallas, TX, US | 04:43 |
| puff | Okay, added the new group and added the directory | 04:43 |
| foxbuntu | puff, alright, now you will have to configure that in the mythtv UI | 04:44 |
| puff | Okay, so exit out of myth-tv setup, then run mythtv again? | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | puff, Utils/Settings > Settings > Media > General | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yup | 04:45 |
| hads | Odd, I've never seen a splitter stop working before. | 04:47 |
| foxbuntu | hads, RG6? | 04:48 |
| hads | Just a standard splitter with F-Connectors. | 04:48 |
| hads | Suddenly stopped working. | 04:49 |
| hads | Replaced it with another and everything is fine. | 04:49 |
| foxbuntu | hads, is it grounded or no? | 04:49 |
| hads | Na | 04:49 |
| puff | foxbuntu: Hm, it says "Cannot create a file /mnt/mythtv/videos//.test - directory is not writable?" | 04:52 |
| puff | And the same thing for /mnt/mythtv/recordings//.test and then a duplicate error message /mnt/mythtv/videos//test | 04:53 |
| hads | That kinda says it all doens't it? | 04:53 |
| puff | Also, I'm not sure I actually did this, but I noticed that there was a storage diretory under the hitatchi storage group, named /mnt/mythtv/videos | 04:53 |
| puff | hads: Does it? | 04:53 |
| foxbuntu | hads, one thing I have run into is static build up, if you pull the source side out from the wall/ant/whatever and touch the copper to ground it out and plug it back in, it sometime will fix it | 04:54 |
| puff | I edited the directories and saw there were trailing backslashes, deleted them and clicked okay. | 04:54 |
| karatekickz | I borked my mythbuntu box trying to update to .22 can someone help me w a course of action to fix it? | 04:54 |
| hads | Whatever it is, I'm assuming the backend, can't write to that directory. You need to check the ownership and permissions. | 04:54 |
| hads | foxbuntu: This one is broken broken, I've moved it to a different place and tried it there too. | 04:55 |
| hads | karatekickz: You need to state what borked is. | 04:55 |
| foxbuntu | hads, ah... | 04:55 |
| puff | They all belong to user mythtv, group mythtv, but they're not group-writable. I guess I should chmod g+w? | 04:55 |
| karatekickz | I tried to update via a repo that I dont think is compatible with mythbuntu | 04:56 |
| foxbuntu | puff, try this sudo chmod 775 -R /mnt/mythtv | 04:56 |
| karatekickz | so I think I need to do a complete un install re install | 04:56 |
| puff | Should I remove the hitatchi storage group? | 04:56 |
| hads | puff: If you were following foxbuntu's advice then didn't you put them in /mythtv rather than under /mnt? | 04:56 |
| hads | Or did that get changed. | 04:56 |
| foxbuntu | puff, naw | 04:56 |
| puff | hads: He suggested /mnt/mythtv | 04:56 |
| hads | Oh okay. | 04:57 |
| puff | Okay, so did chmod -R g+w /mnt/mythtv, now they're all group writable. | 04:57 |
| puff | Do they need to be group executable, too? | 04:57 |
| karatekickz | used these instructions http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/402294 | 04:57 |
| hads | karatekickz: You can uninstall through any of the package managers. | 04:57 |
| hads | Then fix your sources, update the package lists and reinstall. | 04:57 |
| karatekickz | yeah I know | 04:58 |
| hads | Beware that if you updated the mythtv version without a database backup then you won't be able to downgrade. | 04:58 |
| hads | The only way is up. | 04:58 |
| karatekickz | no worries | 04:58 |
| karatekickz | I figured this was the process... | 04:58 |
| puff | Okay,no complaints this time when exiting, though it wants me to fill the daatabase, etc. | 04:58 |
| puff | And now I run myth frontend? | 04:59 |
| karatekickz | so sort the package manager by repos | 04:59 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yup | 04:59 |
| karatekickz | then uninstall all of them? | 04:59 |
| karatekickz | could I have added a mythbuntu repos source? | 04:59 |
| karatekickz | I just tried to install the mythbuntu-repos.deb file | 05:00 |
| puff | Wait,d o I have to start mythtv backend? | 05:00 |
| foxbuntu | puff, no it does it all on its own | 05:01 |
| puff | Okay. Utils/Settings/Media/General | 05:01 |
| foxbuntu | yup | 05:02 |
| puff | I'm there. | 05:02 |
| puff | Does mythtv/ubuntu come with screen capture support? | 05:02 |
| foxbuntu | you should see the directories for videos and so on | 05:02 |
| puff | E.g. can I run through this again, sometime, and take snapshots for a tutorial? | 05:02 |
| foxbuntu | puff, print screen should do it | 05:02 |
| puff | Hm, I think that's under media settings. | 05:03 |
| karatekickz | removing all packages atm... can I add a testing repo for .22? | 05:03 |
| puff | I selected general and it has a, screen about dataabses, then another one, then about audio... exited back out to the menu that contained general, ait also had media. | 05:03 |
| foxbuntu | puff, there are two settings menus | 05:03 |
| foxbuntu | puff, as in from top menu its Settings > Settings > Media > General | 05:04 |
| puff | Utilities / Setup => Music Tools, Video Manager, Edit Keys, Setup, Mythbuntu Logs | 05:04 |
| karatekickz | oh... looks like I already did w that .deb file | 05:04 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sorry, setup | 05:04 |
| puff | Select setup => General, Appearance, Screen Setup Wizards, TV settings, Media Settings, Info Center Settings, Mythbuntu. | 05:05 |
| puff | Select General and i get stuff about database. | 05:05 |
| puff | Select Media and I get stuff about directories. | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | thats the one | 05:05 |
| puff | The second? Media? | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | Im doing this al off memory since I am using my myth boxen | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | yes | 05:05 |
| puff | Myth boxen? | 05:05 |
| * foxbuntu is clear as mud tonight | 05:06 | |
| hads | What are you setting up? | 05:06 |
| puff | Media gives me Music SEttings, Videos Settings, images Settings, Archive Files Settings. | 05:06 |
| foxbuntu | hads, he just needs to setup his videos directory in mythfrontend | 05:06 |
| puff | hads: I added a 1 TB drive to my freshly installed mythbuntu box. | 05:06 |
| foxbuntu | puff, videos settings | 05:06 |
| hads | If you're using 0.22 and have setup the mythvideo storage groups that's all you need to do. Or are we talking 0.21 | 05:06 |
| foxbuntu | hads .21 | 05:06 |
| puff | Video Settings => General Settings, Player Settings, File Types, Rip Settings. | 05:07 |
| hads | Oh, okay then :) | 05:07 |
| puff | Yeesh, maybe I shoulda downlaoded a newer version. | 05:07 |
| hads | All this storage groups talk confused me. | 05:07 |
| foxbuntu | puff, General | 05:07 |
| foxbuntu | puff, its not released yet | 05:07 |
| puff | Okay, Directories that hold videos: /va/lib/mythtv/videos | 05:08 |
| foxbuntu | puff, its safer for you at this point as a newish user | 05:08 |
| puff | Directories that holds movie posters, Default View. | 05:08 |
| foxbuntu | puff, change the videos one to the directory you created | 05:08 |
| foxbuntu | puff, then you can just dump you videos in there | 05:08 |
| karatekickz | I have everything from the borked repos uninstalled.... | 05:08 |
| karatekickz | I have entries for the weeklys... from the .deb I installed mythbunto.org | 05:09 |
| puff | So will tihs entirely side-step the 250GB drive? | 05:09 |
| karatekickz | but no listings of packages | 05:09 |
| karatekickz | I didnt reboot yet | 05:09 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yes, for videos | 05:09 |
| puff | Okay, cool. | 05:10 |
| puff | Then it can use the 250 for recordings. | 05:10 |
| karatekickz | ailed to fetch http://US.weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/trunk-0.22/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 05:10 |
| karatekickz | Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 05:10 |
| karatekickz | thoughts? | 05:10 |
| puff | karatekickz: USe a pastebin. | 05:10 |
| puff | http://pastebin.com | 05:10 |
| hads | URLs should be lower case. | 05:10 |
| karatekickz | sorry man | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | puff, 2 lines is ok | 05:10 |
| puff | Okay, so now it should be all good, I just plug in the portable drive and copy my media files across under /mnt/mythtv/videos? | 05:11 |
| hads | karatekickz: You're using Jaunty? | 05:11 |
| puff | karatekickz: 's cool, just don't want you to get into trouble. | 05:11 |
| hads | I'd just upgrade to karmic if it were me. | 05:11 |
| karatekickz | my thinks | 05:11 |
| puff | foxbuntu: And will it matter if I the videos I'm copying over are in subdirectories? | 05:11 |
| foxbuntu | puff, nope | 05:11 |
| puff | foxbuntu: e.g. I'll have /mnt/mythtv/videos/movie1, /mnt/mythtv/videos/movie2, etc? | 05:12 |
| karatekickz | I had no idea btw there was a weekly build thing going on... that would have saved me 3 hours ... now that I borked it doing it from some other repo | 05:12 |
| karatekickz | GROAN | 05:12 |
| puff | And then they'll just show up in the mythtv Video Manager interface? | 05:12 |
| foxbuntu | puff, yup | 05:13 |
| hads | If you're wanting to use 0.22 then karmic will be stable enough for you. | 05:13 |
| karatekickz | so should the repos installer have an icon? or does it do it via the package/update manager? | 05:13 |
| puff | foxbuntu: Yay! | 05:13 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sounds like you have reached your goal | 05:14 |
| puff | foxbuntu: Commencing to do some mighty disk-to-disk copying.... back in an hour or two to try it oy and let you know how it's all worked out. | 05:14 |
| foxbuntu | puff, sounds great...gl | 05:14 |
| karatekickz | alright so myth is totally removed my from my mythbuntu ATM | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | karatekickz, great..now you have a buntu | 05:15 |
| Casper0082 | karatekickz: I had issues using the US.weeklybuilds. I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and removed US. from weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org | 05:15 |
| karatekickz | I have repos in my package manager to the .22 can I use that to install myth wo reinstalling .21? installing | 05:15 |
| karatekickz | TY CASPER | 05:15 |
| Casper0082 | I was then able to apt-get update | 05:16 |
| Casper0082 | np. | 05:16 |
| karatekickz | BOOYAH! | 05:16 |
| karatekickz | trying now | 05:16 |
| karatekickz | there they are ! | 05:17 |
| karatekickz | its one thing after another | 05:17 |
| karatekickz | they need to fix the .deb file me thinks??>? | 05:17 |
| Casper0082 | Not sure. Might be that the US mirror is down | 05:17 |
| karatekickz | when you refreshed were all of the packages preselcted for install for you? | 05:18 |
| Casper0082 | Well, since you removed them, you need to manually select them | 05:19 |
| karatekickz | they appear to be select | 05:19 |
| Casper0082 | Oh. Okay :) | 05:20 |
| karatekickz | now it says I have a broken package | 05:20 |
| karatekickz | my package isnt broken it just hasnt been tested for awhile! <rimshot> | 05:20 |
| karatekickz | is there any known issues with the nvidia 172 drivers btw? | 05:24 |
| karatekickz | and myth | 05:24 |
| Casper0082 | Did you fix your broken package issue? | 05:26 |
| karatekickz | hehe | 05:27 |
| karatekickz | in the process of installing now | 05:27 |
| karatekickz | man I had no clue there was a weekly repo | 05:28 |
| Casper0082 | I'm not sure about the nvidia drivers. Been using 180. | 05:28 |
| karatekickz | this would have saved me so much time | 05:28 |
| karatekickz | I always have issues with vid drivers... tried to install the 190's from 172 and no dice | 05:29 |
| karatekickz | gonna reboot brb thx for the help so far | 05:33 |
| karatekickz | well it seems to be working... missing the icons ... and a couple skin graphics though | 05:39 |
| karatekickz | wish I would not have borked it though cause likely I am going to run into problems down the road that are over my n00b head | 05:40 |
| karatekickz | I used to have an icon for a window based configuration program... what is that called again? | 05:41 |
| Casper0082 | mythbuntu-control-centre or mythtv-setup? | 05:45 |
| karatekickz | GROAN | 05:48 |
| karatekickz | man this should have been so easy | 05:48 |
| karatekickz | now I dont even know where im at | 05:48 |
| karatekickz | any idea why I am missing icons? and a couple skin graphics? | 05:48 |
| karatekickz | just found the mythbuntu control... and am installing | 05:49 |
| karatekickz | alright cool got that back thx to you... now the only problem is the missing icons and why | 05:51 |
| Casper0082 | Not sure what you mean by missing icons | 05:51 |
| karatekickz | sorry my linux lingo is n00b but the icon that represents myth in the launcher | 05:52 |
| Casper0082 | Did you try add/remove? :) | 05:53 |
| karatekickz | trying to change now in the main menu.... it has it pointing to some blank .png file mythtv_logo.png | 05:53 |
| karatekickz | weird | 05:53 |
| karatekickz | can you check the path of your icon in the Main Menu under preferences? | 05:55 |
| karatekickz | I am using gnome though | 05:55 |
| karatekickz | u prolly are using xfce | 05:55 |
| karatekickz | could anyone tell me the path of the launcher icons for myth? | 05:59 |
| karatekickz | figured it out | 06:01 |
| karatekickz | it was using icons from an old .21 theme | 06:01 |
| karatekickz | never updated | 06:01 |
| karatekickz | this is so weird... when I go to install some .22 themes... it says I need to install the whole app others.. its fine thoughts? | 06:06 |
| karatekickz | uninstall the whole app that is | 06:07 |
| karatekickz | im out for now thx for the help all! | 06:19 |
| daniel32708 | Hello! Is there another alternative to Schedulesdirect.org... free? | 07:21 |
| superm1 | you can use EIT data for some OTA stations | 07:24 |
| superm1 | but it's usually only 1-2 days out | 07:24 |
| superm1 | schedules direct is fairly inexpensive for a year's service | 07:24 |
| daniel32708 | yeah | 07:25 |
| daniel32708 | thing is I aint in the US | 07:25 |
| superm1 | Canada or elsewhere? | 07:26 |
| superm1 | in canada you can still use schedules direct. elsewhere, xmltv provides data for some areas | 07:26 |
| daniel32708 | Costa Rica, Central America | 07:26 |
| daniel32708 | ill try xmltv | 07:27 |
| daniel32708 | thx man | 07:29 |
| kaeles | ok, I upgraded my backend to .22, its telling me the client only recognizes protocol version 50 and the server uses version 40 in the backend setup... any clue ? I checked the apt-cache policy and the mythtv backend is at version .22 build 22517 | 11:21 |
| kaeles | im not sure what client it means, I'm only trying to get into the backend setup | 11:24 |
| hads | Something is still old or hasn't been restarted. | 11:30 |
| kaeles | i rebooted the machine, but I seem to be having some issues getting the db update | 11:40 |
| hads | You need to run mythtv-setup or mythbackend to do the update. | 11:41 |
| hads | mythfrontend won't do it | 11:42 |
| kaeles | right | 11:46 |
| kaeles | when I run mythtv-setup it breaks | 11:46 |
| kaeles | thats when I get the error about the client version | 11:47 |
| kaeles | i haven't even touched a machine that has a frontend on it yet | 11:47 |
| === Mysterious1 is now known as Mysterious | ||
| hads | Bye | 11:54 |
| kaeles | ok, got the db working but the backend setup is only showing options 1. 3. and 5. is mythtv .22 supposed to be missing options in the backend setup? | 12:16 |
| hipitihop | I've noticed occasional errors in mythbackend.log related to deleting certain recordings. "Error deleting '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1088_20091014120000.mpg' could not open eno: Permission denied (13)" When I look at those files, the owner is 0 and -rw-r--r-- instead of like others with owenr of 104 and -rw-rw-rw. Anyone know what causes those files to have wrong owner/permissions ? | 13:00 |

| gandalfcome | what window manager does mythbuntu use. | 21:03 |
| gandalfcome | It seems to be the xfce one but I have trouble finding the network plugin | 21:18 |
| superm1 | gandalfcome, in the taskbar network manager is running | 21:28 |
| gandalfcome | superm1: thanks | 21:37 |
| P0lux | Does somebody know if there is a project to do a "Emuzed Angel USB TV Tuner" driver for mythbuntu ? | 22:22 |
| mrand | P0lux: I've gotta run, but I don't think so. Nor in the Linux community at large. | 22:31 |
| P0lux | ok, and is it a place where I can make the suggestion ? | 22:31 |
| P0lux | I think I'm just gonna buy one compatible | 22:36 |
| P0lux | thank you ! | 22:36 |
