| Thermoelectric | Hey, I'm grabbing channels for my MythTV setup. I have setup the rest of myth tv, but when I grab channels, It says there are 13 free to air channels, but the shepherd guide data-MythTV channel table shows nothing. Any ideas? | 02:16 |
|---|---|---|
| mcastles | you need to setup shep after you have grabbed all your channels | 02:20 |
| Thermoelectric | But I can't grab the channels using MythTV's inbuilt grabbers, I'm in Aus, So none of our grabbers show up. | 02:20 |
| Thermoelectric | Until I setup shep | 02:21 |
| mcastles | yep, I'm in AUS too... what I do is setup channels in myth setup then exit out and manually do a shep config | 02:21 |
| mcastles | shep will read your mythtv settings | 02:22 |
| Thermoelectric | So how do I setup the channels in Mythtv? | 02:22 |
| mcastles | and setup other stuff like the sym link etc | 02:22 |
| Thermoelectric | I don't have a digital tuner... | 02:22 |
| Thermoelectric | So I can't really scan... | 02:23 |
| mcastles | do you have an analog tuner? | 02:23 |
| Thermoelectric | Yeah | 02:23 |
| mcastles | I've only got a digital tuner, so I'm not entirely sure | 02:23 |
| Thermoelectric | Oh | 02:24 |
| mcastles | your tuner shows up in mythtv setup? | 02:24 |
| Thermoelectric | Yep | 02:24 |
| mcastles | hmm, and scan doesn't work? like I said I've never setup analog on my box | 02:25 |
| Thermoelectric | Nope, When you go to channel editor, the Channelm Scan button isn't shaded, and I can't press it... | 02:27 |
| Thermoelectric | when I ran mythfilldatabase, it said no channels were configured to use the grabber :-/ | 02:31 |
| mcastles | hmm, yeah.. I'm not sure what the process with analog is? does anyone else have any thoughts? | 02:33 |
| Thermoelectric | Might it just be that this card could be unsupported? | 02:49 |
| Thermoelectric | I haven't seen any Swann tuners on the lists... | 02:49 |
| mcastles | any particular reason for analog over digital? | 02:50 |
| Thermoelectric | No, It's just a card that I had around. | 02:55 |
| mcastles | fair nuff.. well I would suggest a digital card in AUS, now that we are starting to get more dedicated digital channels | 02:57 |
| Thermoelectric | Yeah. Where'd you get your card from, online or at a retail store? | 02:57 |
| mcastles | I have a nova t 500 that works well, I ordered it online | 02:58 |
| mcastles | don't even remember where.. just went for the best price oem | 02:58 |
| Thermoelectric | Ah, Cool | 02:58 |
| mcastles | there is a bit of lag between changing channels.. but I think that might have something to do with my cpu/ram | 02:59 |
| Thermoelectric | That makes sense | 02:59 |
| mcastles | it doesn't really matter cos 95% of my watching is recorded tv anyway | 02:59 |
| Thermoelectric | You should have System monitor open when you change channels, see if it peaks | 02:59 |
| Thermoelectric | Ah | 02:59 |
| mcastles | good idea, I will try that out | 03:00 |
| Thermoelectric | :-) | 03:00 |

| K-train | Hello. I installed mythbuntu 9.10 ~ 3 days ago and have been quite pleased though I have a few questions, with which I will preface with a few comments. | 22:50 |
| K-train | After installing I changed the /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0 in the mythbuntu settings which made my DVDs play with the internal player and i am pleased but now i'm faced with a ripping problem | 22:51 |
| K-train | Under Setup/utilities ->Setup -> media settings -> video settings -> general settings, there was nothing in the "Direcotries that hold videos" field. I populated that filed with /var/lib/mythtv/videos and I was able to rip. | 22:52 |
| K-train | but i can replay the dvds that i rip. I have ripped in .iso and also in "perfect"/.vob but I cannot play them back because I cannot find them. | 22:54 |
| K-train | I looked under "media library -> Watch videos" section but nothing is there. Some direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! | 22:55 |
| mrand | !iso | K-train | 23:00 |
| Zinn | K-train: Storage Groups are a streaming method of transmitting material to a frontend, meaning they don't provide block-level access to the file in question. An ISO is a disk image, and requires block-level access. Upstream has a plan to simulate a block device across the network using NBD for 0.23. Until then you can use the following workaround: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/7 | 23:00 |
| mrand | K-train: Not sure if that is it or not... but worth a look. | 23:00 |
| K-train | i will definately take a look at that regarding .iso files... but what about .vob files? | 23:01 |
| mrand | Well, my gut instinct is that .iso's normally contain .vob, so it might be the same problem... but I honestly am unsure. I need to find time to play with it all to gain a full understanding. | 23:02 |
| K-train | np. Thanks... is it appreciated to share my success with you guys? | 23:03 |
| K-train | for those types of problems? | 23:03 |
| mrand | K-train: it isn't necessary, although it might be nice to know if it applies to vob as well. | 23:04 |
| K-train | k... i just read the link that was provided by Zinn... i have mine setup like it suggests... how am I supposed to go about access the .iso files from within mythbuntu? I have tried the "media library -> Watch video" but they do not show hup. | 23:05 |
| K-train | *up | 23:05 |
| gregL | K-train did you scan of them? | 23:06 |
| gregL | for* | 23:06 |
| K-train | uhh... no. I hate to ask.. but where is that option? | 23:07 |
| K-train | I though I went through all the settings.. | 23:07 |
| K-train | is it a front or backend thing? | 23:07 |
| gregL | When you go into where you view the movies,hit m and choose scan.. | 23:07 |
| gregL | Also make sure the video folder is readable by the user that is running mythtv. | 23:09 |
| K-train | nice! thanks. let me try it. | 23:12 |
| K-train | The scan worked great. | 23:13 |
| gregL | cool | 23:13 |
| K-train | is "m" a menu option in most of the setting 'pages'? | 23:14 |
| gregL | yes, I also. | 23:14 |
| K-train | k... i will try that also. U guys have been great help. | 23:15 |
| gregL | Read the info on this site......http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_.22_Transition_Guide | 23:16 |
| K-train | I will do that. thanks. | 23:16 |
| gregL | That will give a better idea whats going on... | 23:16 |
| gregL | np | 23:16 |
| K-train | When a video/dvd is ripped. do you need to put in the information yourself? the 3 i ripped don't have anything for the time duration, description, etc? | 23:25 |
| gregL | if you named it correctly, hit w and it will download the Meta data.. | 23:30 |
| gregL | You should follow the transition guide it explains it all.. | 23:31 |
| garrythefish | not enough drilling. that's what's the problem with the lesbos at #ubuntu-women | 23:38 |
| K-train | i will. thanks again. | 23:44 |
