| Nidhoegger | hi | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Nidhoegger | ive got some self recorded stuff from my old DVD Recorder ripped to Hard Disk. I copied it into the video database of myth, i can watch them (they are divx now), but instead of a thumbnail or something, theres just a big ?`and there is no information available. Can i gather automatically the informations and a cover / thumbnail? the filenames ive archives like this: "Movie Name Date Time.avi" | 00:03 |
| mrand | Nidhoegger: check out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo#Metadata_Lookup. If files are named in the correct format described there, you simply need to launch a metadata scan (also described there) | 00:07 |
| Nidhoegger | hmmm okay, so i need to rename them | 00:07 |
| mrand | If you haven't already tried a scan, I would do that... it overlooks lots of stuff | 00:08 |
| Nidhoegger | how do i run the scan? cant find it in the wiki | 00:08 |
| mrand | When you are ready to perform a metadata lookup, multiple options are available. You can highlight an item and press the DOWNLOADDATA keybinding, which is "W" by default. This will automatically start a metadata query for the selected item. This same query can be started from the menu, by selecting INFO->Metadata Options->Download Metadata. | 00:08 |
| Nidhoegger | sorry :( | 00:09 |
| Nidhoegger | "Could not start process" it says | 00:09 |
| Nidhoegger | "usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl" failed: Couls not start process | 00:10 |
| mrand | hmmm | 00:11 |
| Nidhoegger | if i run it manually with python tmdb.pl it says its an error in line 17 | 00:13 |
| mrand | Only thing I can think of is that you may not have the latest... are you running auto-builds? | 00:13 |
| Nidhoegger | no | 00:14 |
| Nidhoegger | ive got mythtv 0.22 | 00:14 |
| Nidhoegger | argh | 00:15 |
| mrand | Right, 0.22, I assuem straight from the ubuntu repositories? | 00:15 |
| Nidhoegger | im dumb | 00:15 |
| Nidhoegger | tmdb.pl isnt python | 00:15 |
| Nidhoegger | its perl | 00:15 |
| mrand | correct. | 00:15 |
| Nidhoegger | with perl it runs | 00:15 |
| mrand | If you haven't already, you might follow the auto-build directions: | 00:16 |
| mrand | !auto-builds | 00:16 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about auto-builds | 00:16 |
| Nidhoegger | but mythtv cant run it | 00:16 |
| mrand | !auto-build | 00:16 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about auto-build | 00:16 |
| mrand | !autobuilds | 00:16 |
| Zinn | Auto builds are available for MythTV 0.22 for Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic (0.22 and 0.23-trunk). See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info. If you see references to 0.22-trunk, you can ignore the -trunk part :-) | 00:16 |
| mrand | The above will make sure you are running the latest. | 00:16 |
| mrand | latest bug fixes. | 00:16 |
| mrand | hmmm... or perhaps the problem is easier to fix... is that script executable? Perhaps that is why it is failing. | 00:17 |
| Nidhoegger | as root i can | 00:18 |
| Nidhoegger | mom ill try as user | 00:18 |
| Nidhoegger | yes it is | 00:19 |
| Nidhoegger | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-366415.html | 00:20 |
| Nidhoegger | may that be the problem? | 00:20 |
| mrand | nope. | 00:21 |
| Nidhoegger | hmmm | 00:22 |
| mrand | I'm going to have to go for a bit. I know there were some bugs fixed after the official ubuntu release in October which are contained in autobuilds, but I don't know that any of them specifically address this issue. But it is worth a try. If that doesn't fix it, maybe someone else can help, either here or on the mythbuntu forums. | 00:22 |
| Nidhoegger | kay | 00:23 |
| Nidhoegger | thanks | 00:23 |

| cblauvelt | do you guys think this is a good platform to do mythtv development on? | 01:07 |

| _BLACK_MAN_ | hello | 01:26 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | black man here | 01:26 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | n e chats | 01:26 |
| mike330404 | hey guys for some reason when i close firefox i cant get it to launch again | 01:27 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | mike | 01:27 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | are you using proper ORT-8a protocol | 01:27 |
| mike330404 | no idea what that is, im not that advanced | 01:28 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | well | 01:28 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | id guess thats the issue | 01:28 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | if you arent using ORT-8a protocol | 01:28 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | chances aer thats causing a crash at subset 7.ab | 01:28 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | pretty common | 01:29 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | just install the 11 ORT-8a subset drivers | 01:29 |
| mike330404 | ok thanks i dont mean to take up all your time or have you take an hour to tell me how to do it, do you have a link to a place with directions howto do that | 01:29 |
| mike330404 | or is this omething i can solve in synaptic | 01:29 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | the ORT-8a drivers got phased out a few months ago | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | so they are hard to download | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | your best bet at this point is to completely uninstall firefox | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | and then do a full reinstall | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | it wont contain all 11 subsets | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | but the newest firefox version has the key 6-11a subsets | 01:30 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | since im guessing your crash happens at subset 7.ab | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | that covers it | 01:31 |
| mike330404 | ok black man thank you very much | 01:31 |
| mrand | _BLACK_MAN_: please stop | 01:31 |
| mrand | mike330404: misleading users is not polite | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | mrand | 01:31 |
| mike330404 | ? | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | what are you talking about | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | mike | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | ignore mrand | 01:31 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | hes a known troll/spammer | 01:31 |
| mike330404 | k | 01:32 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | hes trying to make you believe that im "tricking" you | 01:32 |
| mike330404 | mark for removal or mark for complete removal | 01:33 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | complete removal | 01:33 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | you need to uninstall everything | 01:33 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | in the tech business thats called a "Total Purge" | 01:33 |
| mike330404 | cool | 01:34 |
| mike330404 | thanks | 01:34 |
| mike330404 | nope didnt work | 01:34 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | you completely uninstalled everything | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | then reinstalled the newest version | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | ? | 01:35 |
| mike330404 | marked for complete removal, applied, then reinstalled | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | and you are using | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | the most current version? | 01:35 |
| mike330404 | whatsthe most current version, i cant check bc it wont launch | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | hm | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | this isnt good | 01:35 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | this sounds like there was a corruption in the actual data formatting point | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | rather than a superficial loop-error reading error | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i would suggest you do the following | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | total uninstall | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | defrag your hard drive | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | re-install | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | do a secondary de-frag | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | then it should work | 01:36 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | also | 01:38 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | are you using an anti-virus | 01:38 |
| mike330404 | no | 01:38 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | ok | 01:38 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i would suggest that you get a good anti virus | 01:38 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | often times data corruption on 3rd party program executable processes | 01:39 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | occur from minor viruses | 01:39 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | the best anti-virus on the market is called Norton | 01:39 |
| mike330404 | nortonnn | 01:39 |
| mike330404 | f that | 01:39 |
| mike330404 | im runnin mythbuntu | 01:39 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | friend | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i have been in the tech support business | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | for almost 30 years | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | norton is the best to ever hit the market | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | chances are if you ran norton | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | your disk wouldnt even be fragmeneted | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | *fragmented | 01:40 |
| mike330404 | norton is the worst, every tme i have used it it has caused so many compatibility errors | 01:40 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | to use the best you have to make some compromises | 01:41 |
| mike330404 | do they even make norton for linux | 01:41 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | yes of course | 01:41 |
| mike330404 | i thought avg was the best | 01:41 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | norton was originally for linux | 01:41 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | no, friend | 01:41 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | norton is better than linux by a country mile | 01:42 |
| mike330404 | my friend googled norton for linux it doesnt exist and everyone on the message boards says you dont get viruses in linux (which i already knew) | 01:44 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | thats why you shouldnt take advice from message boards | 01:44 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | "no viruses for linux" | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | please | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | also | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | norton first premiered on linux | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | so your friend is wrong | 01:45 |
| mike330404 | im on the norton website on my friends computer and under system requirements it does not have linux listed | 01:45 |
| mike330404 | go see for yourself | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | because they no longer make it | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | but it still exists for download | 01:45 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | why do you think its called norton in the first place? | 01:46 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | the name norton is an homage to the brother of the man who invented linux | 01:46 |
| mike330404 | dude im pretty sure youre the troll | 01:47 |
| iamlindoro | duh | 01:47 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | mike | 01:47 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i am not a troll | 01:47 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i am 44 year old grown man | 01:47 |
| mike330404 | somebody please tell me why firefox wont launch again after i close it out | 01:48 |
| _BLACK_MAN_ | i already told you | 01:48 |
| tgm4883 | blah | 03:42 |
| tgm4883 | _BLACK_MAN_, i just read the backlog, don't do that again | 03:42 |
| rhpot1991 | test | 03:46 |
| rhpot1991 | test | 03:46 |
| KB1JWQ | tgm4883: Known irritant. | 03:49 |
| foxbuntu | _BLACK_MAN_, what purpose does it serve to knowingly mislead users into doing something potentially harmful to their systems? | 04:10 |
| foxbuntu | _BLACK_MAN_, this will be the only warning you ever get in here. If you are caught doing so again I will have you banned from this channel and all other *buntu channels. | 04:13 |
| KB1JWQ | foxbuntu: Old news, unfortuantely. He's been at this for quite some time. | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | KB1JWQ, well its the last time. | 04:15 |
| rhpot1991 | foxbuntu: I think we figured he knew or was the other guy | 04:17 |
| rhpot1991 | also zinn can mute people now so it will be taken care of in the future | 04:17 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, I know, but because of a more recent event that took place in here and a chat I had with *buntu irc ops, Im going to take the stance that if a user is acting malicious that they get 1 warning then its perma ban | 04:19 |
| jonrob287 | how does mythtv work? | 04:27 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | hey all.. Last time I updated, the DB update hosed everything.... I've read the upgrade destrutions for Upgrading 9.04->9.10 (assuming it gives myth 0.22?) ... Just wanted to check if anyone has reported any issues at all? I have a lot of recorded television on 0.21.0+fixes21... If there's any quirkiness I'm happy to stay with 0.21 | 04:40 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | just after any feedback or thoughts.. I can't find any issues on the wiki or upgrade docs.. | 04:41 |
| foxbuntu | Outbreak_Monkey, its highly suggested to backup the DB prior to any upgrade. Otherwise 0.22 is quite an improvement over 0.21 and worth the time to upgrade. | 05:00 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | Yeah.. I'm really wanting VDPAU for the HD content ... And yeah, sure.. i'll back up the DB.. But i it easy to rollback if it catches fire? | 05:02 |
| foxbuntu | Outbreak_Monkey, no, the rollback from .22 to .21 is not possible without rolling back to 9.04 | 05:03 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | ok... I'll have to think it through, might try a new install on a different partition.. | 05:04 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | perhaps it's a good excuse for a new hard disk.. | 05:04 |
| Outbreak_Monkey | thanks. | 05:04 |
| foxbuntu | np | 05:06 |
| tgm4883 | KB1JWQ, yea I noticed | 05:52 |

| m | hi, i'm new to mythtv and was wondering if anyone could point me to a good tutorial for getting myth to use an IR blaster to change the channel vs in the channel of the adapter | 22:57 |
| === m is now known as matt | ||
| matt | i have tried to use a number of the tutorials online but i believe i mess it up when it comes to making the channel changing script | 22:59 |
| foxbuntu | matt, how are you currently attempting to change channels? | 23:00 |
| matt | foxbuntu: i can use a MCE remote and the keyboard to do the same thing | 23:00 |
| matt | it changes the channel in myth but it doesnt change the channel on the STB | 23:01 |
| foxbuntu | matt, no, sorry I meant what are you using (serial cable to the cable box / ir blaster / direct coax ) | 23:01 |
| foxbuntu | ...firewire | 23:01 |
| matt | my bad, its an USB ir blaster | 23:02 |
| foxbuntu | ok, it blaster not a receiver correct? | 23:02 |
| foxbuntu | its a blaster* | 23:03 |
| matt | its Pinnacle Remote MCE Kit which is a blaster receiver combo | 23:03 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 23:04 |
| matt | and the receiver part of it works just fine, i have also gotten the blaster to work from command line but i havent gotten it to work through the script | 23:04 |
| foxbuntu | matt, which script? | 23:04 |
| matt | i believe that i need to setup a channel changing script for mythtv to use the blaster to change the STB, am i wrong? | 23:05 |
| matt | well i know i am wrong somewhere along the way since it doesnt work | 23:05 |
| foxbuntu | no, that is correct. However there are several scripts so I am asking which one you are trying | 23:05 |
| matt | one sec, i need to track that down again | 23:06 |
| matt | in general i followed the instructions here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote#IR_Blasting | 23:09 |
| matt | but i also have some other things in my lircd.conf file from the first time setup window, that might be the problem | 23:10 |
| foxbuntu | matt, so if you do the ir send from the command line does ti switch channels on the STB? | 23:14 |
| matt | yes it does if it tell it to use the correct remote through my lircd.conf | 23:16 |
| matt | want me to pastebin that so you can see what is there? | 23:16 |
| foxbuntu | matt, sure | 23:16 |
| matt | foxbuntu: http://pastebin.com/d23ca0efe | 23:18 |
| matt | the first part is in there from the initial setup of lirc | 23:19 |
| foxbuntu | matt, so did you create the script listed in the wiki? | 23:22 |
| matt | foxbuntu, yes i did | 23:24 |
| matt | the irsend command is how i used it to change the STB before | 23:25 |
| foxbuntu | matt, so did you test the script from the command line? | 23:25 |
| matt | foxbuntu, no i didnt and that just dawned on me, i will be trying that right now | 23:26 |
| matt | thank you for the idiot check :) | 23:26 |
| foxbuntu | matt, np, I do it myself...allot | 23:27 |
| matt | foxbuntu: no dice, all i did for that script was replace the ##### with the remote name that it should be transmitting and it doesnt work | 23:34 |
| matt | i am still able to change the channel over command line though | 23:34 |
| foxbuntu | matt, you did /usr/bin/script 23 | 23:35 |
| foxbuntu | (for example) | 23:35 |
| matt | foxbuntu, i didnt add a number after it will try that now | 23:35 |
| foxbuntu | matt, you will need to do that | 23:36 |
| matt | and i am noticing that i will need to change the lircd from TWO to 2 | 23:36 |
| matt | or not, either way it spit out this error irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE Motorola_VIP_1200 2 irsend: unknown command: "2" | 23:38 |
| studentz | uverse mythbuntu any tutorial? :) | 23:42 |
| iamlindoro | whole sentences can use? | 23:42 |
| foxbuntu | iamlindoro, lmao | 23:42 |
| foxbuntu | matt, try changing one of the number keys to "2" instead of TWO and try again | 23:43 |
| studentz | yes we can | 23:43 |
| foxbuntu | matt, i am not 100% sure, I havent used a blaster in a very long time | 23:43 |
| matt | @studentz, i'm working on Uverse right now as well | 23:43 |
| matt | foxbuntu, how do you change yours now? | 23:44 |
| mrand | matt & studentz: No FAQ that I'm aware of. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/409938 | 23:44 |
| studentz | Thanks I'm reading it. I will back in a while with smart questions :) | 23:45 |
| matt | mrand: thanks for that link, i did see that online my main problem right now is i don't have the blaster setup properly | 23:46 |
| matt | foxbuntu, it works now with changing it from TWO to 2 | 23:50 |
| matt | well the script works | 23:51 |
| foxbuntu | matt, change them all over to numbers then, and then all you have to do is add the script to the "External Channel Changer" field in the input section of the setup | 23:51 |
| matt | will try that out right now | 23:53 |
| * mrand can't find my channel changing script that he used a year ago :-| | 23:56 | |
| foxbuntu | mrand, well its because you are lame | 23:57 |
| * foxbuntu points and laughs at mrand | 23:57 | |
| mrand | I'm forced to agree with you, for today only. | 23:57 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 23:57 |
| matt | foxbuntu, it works with myth now i just need to adjust the script so that it can input multiple channel numbers at once, which is a problem i've read other uverse users had a problem with | 23:58 |
| matt | thanks for the help :) | 23:58 |
| foxbuntu | matt, np...gl | 23:58 |
| mrand | matt: might share with studentz :-) | 23:58 |
| mrand | maybe by creating a wiki page on the mythtv wiki, if there isn't one already? | 23:58 |
| matt | mrand, will do if i find out what the problem is | 23:59 |
