pulaskiI run kubuntu 9.10 karmic koala.  dmseg shows my wintv card and associated info here  http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d35cc8921.  I want to try mythtv by installing it using Software Management in System Settings.  Under mythtv  a number of packages come up.  I don't know which to install.01:17
pulaskiQuestion 1: Is my tv card suitable given the dmes output pasted here http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d35cc8921?01:17
pulaskiQuestion 2: Is there a single complete mythtv package I can grab using apt-get install instead of having to choose among many using the software management too I have?01:20
hadspulaski: Install mythbuntu-control-centre and that will guide you.01:26
pulaskihads: Thanks for responding. That I will!01:27

danbrii've just installed from a fresh (and checked) mythbuntu disk, ... but it seems to 'give up' between figure 17 and fig 18 of http://www.mythtvbook.com/wiki/The_Easy_Way:_Installing_MythBuntu#Running_the_LiveCD_MythBuntu13:34
danbriie. i go thru the 'install to HD' routine, it seems to be installing, then leaves me back at the 'doubleclick to install to your HD' screen, isntead of asking about Guide configuration13:35
VincentCoenHI have a prob: running 9.04 mythbuntu with a failing 500gb drive, have now replaced with a 1TB and have loaded 9.04 as upgrade via 8.04, 8.10 as a directly installed 9.04 fails to setup xorg but here is the issue:14:40
VincentCoenmave alot of tv and videos on old system. Have copied all files using rsync to new drive partition (xfs) over but what mysql db areas do I need to anso export from old and import to new to see all previously recorded tv progs and my videos?14:42
VincentCoenCan anyone help on a mysql problem when migating a failing 500gb drive to a 1Tb drive?15:01
mrandVincentCoen: I would recommend checking out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore15:06

ZinnI am alive.15:06
thisismyname_puh... thank god15:06
VincentCoenThe prob is trying ony to export and reload into new drive relavent DBs needed for see, watch and delete old recordings.  It would also be nice to have the DB that covers the (previously recorded programmes etc)15:07
VincentCoenmrand: looking and printing out info15:09
mrandVincentCoen: I've not played with it, but you may be looking for something to do with finding orphans... if what you have is a clean database and old recordings.15:10
VincentCoenNay ideas where to find info on recovering orphans?15:11
VincentCoenNay=any15:11
mrandhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.rebuilddatabase.pl and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.find_orphans.pl  might be of interest.  Perhaps especially the first one.15:13
VincentCoenlooking..15:13
mrandVincentCoen: perhaps I jumped to a conclusion... I assumed that you don't have access to your old database.  True?  If you do have access and paths have remained the same, you can back it up and the restore it on your new drive.15:17
VincentCoenI currently have access to the old with both versions the same (9.04) The trouble is the risk of transferring the whole mythconverg mysql DB over as there has been some curruption as recorded where missing after recording possible due to failing drive etc.15:19
VincentCoenSo I just wanted to bring over thse tables that are requred so that mythtv can see all existing recordings and video files and the table that records previously recorded programmes .15:20
VincentCoenthe new drive has the same structure and directory names as the old just more space on the xfs data partition15:21
mrandI'd be tempted to back up the current database, then drop it and restore the old database and just clean it and see what you have.  Worst case, do a partial restore to get the previously recorded programs and such.15:25
VincentCoensounds like a plan, is there anywhere a detailed breakdown of the mythconverg database structure, ir, how table link to each other?15:27
mrandhow tables link to each other?  Not that I've seen, but I haven't looked specifically for that either.  Closest I'm aware of is http://www.cuymedia.net/mythtv-trunk/group__db__schema.html15:29

errr-orhi guys, i have Mythbuntu 9.10 x86_64, a Hauppauge Nova S2 HD Card (PVR-4000 lite). Kaffeine works well, but MythTv doesnt. I tried to do a manual scan, to import channels.conf. Scan worked, import didnt work. Scanning specific stations (mentioned in some howtos) doesnt work too. I already tried 3 different versions of firmware. what to try next? plz help ;)19:58
errr-oroh im a first time mythtv user19:58
hadsHmm. Seems I can't skip on LiveTV on my DVB cards anymore.22:04
hadsThe PVR150 still works.22:04
linxehwhere should I look to debug why I can't rip DVDs in mythtv ?22:14
linxehis there a log file somewhere ?22:14
hadsSo looks like I can seek if I wait about 30 seconds or so.22:21
hadsOpenMedia: DPkg::Post-Invoke { "sed -i 's/<showcategories>yes<\/showcategories>/<showcategories>no<\/showcategories>/' /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/22:23
hadsHmm, missed a bit.22:23
hadsOpenMedia: DPkg::Post-Invoke { "sed -i 's/<showcategories>yes<\/showcategories>/<showcategories>no<\/showcategories>/' /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/schedule-ui.xml"; };22:23
hadsThat will persist the theme fix over upgrades.22:24
ernstpI'm having problems getting my EPG into mythtv22:27
ernstpit should start to scan after 60 seconds of idle but I'm guessing it's not22:28
ernstpDVB-C stream22:28
ernstpit works on my Jaunty install, haven't gotten it to work on karmic yet22:29
ernstpdo you need mythfilldatabase for the eit/epg?22:30
rhpot1991Bug 469583 | linxeh22:36
Zinnlinxeh: Bug 469583 in mythbuntu "DVD ripping does not work until 'Directories that hold videos' is filled with a valid path" [High, In Progress] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/46958322:36
rhpot1991linxeh: may or may not be your issue, check that first though22:36
linxehyeah I thought I'd done that, will check though22:37
linxehthanks22:37
rhpot1991linxeh: if not then try other dvd's scratches/drm often cause failure22:38
linxehit was that :)22:42
linxehI reinstalled and hadnt set it this time round22:42
linxehthanks22:42
linxehvery impressed with mythbuntu 9.10 btw22:43
linxehpractically everything worked out of the box, and I've managed to get the LCD and remote in my case working without loads of fiddling22:43
ernstpI've set it to use the card as an EIT source22:43
ernstpand enabled everything related22:43
ernstpI don't get anything in the mythbackend log after 60 seconds about it starting to scan22:44
ernstpperhaps something is making it think it's not idle?22:49
_SKiTZOis dvd an issue for latest mythbuntu (0.22)? and when will v 0.23 be out? are there any workarounds?23:07
ernstp_SKiTZO, dvd works fine here on mythbuntu 0.2223:16
zurndoes mythbuntu have a live cd like normal ubuntu? if so, can i test my video card (that does have v4linux support) or will that require that i install mythbuntu?23:20
ernstpzurn, it23:22
ernstpzurn, it's default cd is a livecd23:22
zurnernstp: can i test my usb tuner card from the live cd, or do i have to install to see if it works?23:23
ernstpzurn, well you can test almost anything from the livecd but there's no guide or wizard23:23
ernstpzurn, but boot the livecd and then install me-tv (it modifies the CD filesystem in RAM, pretty cool!)23:24
Josh____What vnc server package is installed when selected on mythbuntu?23:30
linxehhow easy is it to get bbc iplayer integrated into mythtv (mythvodka?) with ubuntu ?23:36
OpenMediahads: Cheers23:36
zurnernstp: is there a tutorial for that?23:38
ernstpzurn, my-tv is pretty nice, it should autodetect most things23:39
hadsOpenMedia: No worries. I forgot to say that goes in a file in apt.conf.d but I guess you know that.23:39
OpenMediahads: Yeah, but do you have a sensible way to trigger it only when a theme gets updated?23:41
hadsNope, it will always run but it's not going to matter withthat sed line, if it's already done it won't do anything.23:46
hadsi.e. <showcategories>yes<\/showcategories> has already been replaced so nothing in the file will be matched.23:48
ernstpdoes this look like EIT scanning is working? http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/167418223:55
