MTughan__Does anyone know if Mythbuntu includes a firewall by default, and how to turn it off/configure it?03:15
tgm4883MTughan__, no it does not03:15
tgm4883if it did, you should be able to do03:16
tgm4883sudo ufw status03:16
MTughan__Hmm... A frontend on another computer's not able to connect to the backend. I've checked the username, password, and database against the local frontend, and I have the right IP.03:16
tgm4883MTughan__, logs?03:17
tgm4883MTughan__, can other remote frontends connect to that backend?03:17
MTughan__tgm4883: Dunno. Don't have any other remote frontends to test ATM.03:17
gbuttersMTughan__: did you enable remote support on the backend??03:18
MTughan__Yes.03:18
tgm4883MTughan__, most likely, you didn't enable the mythtv service, so mysql isn't accepting remote connections03:18
tgm4883hmm03:18
MTughan__I do see "09-12-28 10:17:09 PM[0x0-0x14d14d].org.osx-bundler.MythFrontend[24712]2009-12-28 22:17:09.208 MythContext: Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 1)" in the logs, although that's definitely not the IP I entered in the frontend setup. This machine isn't running MySQL.03:19
tgm4883hmm03:19
tgm4883gbutters, whats the config file for that?03:19
tgm4883~/.mythtv/config.xml?03:19
MTughan__This is a weekly build for OS X, so maybe it's got a bug that shows that.03:19
MTughan__Yes, that's it.03:20
tgm4883hmm03:20
MTughan__Already found it by grep.03:20
tgm4883i'd try changing that03:20
MTughan__Set to the address needed, 192.168.1.215.03:20
tgm4883I don't know much about OSX, but maybe it doesn't have permission to edit that file?03:20
MTughan__No, it is changing if I change settings, so it's not a permissions problem.03:20
tgm4883hmm03:21
tgm4883maybe a bug then?03:21
MTughan__I'll try the previous weekly build, maybe it's just a trunk bug.03:21

juanmarquezok03:34
juanmarquezthnks03:34
gbuttersjuanmarquez: your welcome03:35
MTughan__Found the problem on my setup too. The frontend was contacting the backend, but it was given a different IP address to connect to for the master backend. With those IP addresses corrected in the backend, the frontend works as expected.03:47
_abbenormalok heres one for ya frontend connects to backend plays video and recordings but wont play livetv04:07
tgm4883_abbenormal, again, logs. Sounds like the backend doesn't have write permissions to the right dir04:08
_abbenormalso it may not be a frontend issue let me go back to the backend and look a bit thanks04:08

JimmyJetGood day, Here is my question, where do I start? I ran a script to install flash on a 64 system and then things fell apart, I cannot login because something about the gnome power defaults, I can get in under failsafe, but mythbackend doens't start fails and such. anyway where should I start? Seems that under failsafe I cannot start or try to change anything. Ill provide the website that has the script I ran here in a min14:51
skreemCan anyone recommend a good capture card for the UK? I don't want to spend too much15:05
JimmyJet@Skreem do you use ATSC digital channels or is it still PAL?15:10
skreemNot sure - probably pal15:12
JimmyJetdigital channels?15:12
JimmyJetor analog15:12

JimmyJethum, well, I can't vouch for it but the Hauppauge Pinnacle PCTV USB2 seems like it might work for you15:16
JimmyJetShould only set you back around $60 or 30 pounds ;)15:17

mrandrhp: I'm not aware that anyone has tried to run or test the prepackaged 0.20 Myth on 9.10.  It may work, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there were dependency problems.22:57
mazzomazHi there23:38
mazzomazI've a problem with my installation of mythbuntu 9.10 (0.23 from auto-builds, testing activated)23:39
mazzomazwhen I try to configure my plugins, the myth-frotend tells me, that plugin XXX could not be configured (Could not configure mythvideo, i.e.)23:40
mazzomazAny hints to figure out my problem?23:43
klucasHi mazzomaz.  I wish I knew more about myth and mythbuntu but I'm new at this myself.23:45
klucasCould it be a permissioins problem?23:45
klucasI find that a lot of the times when something just flatly refuses to do something it's that the user that's trying to do it23:46
klucasdoesn't have permissions to do whatever it is.23:46
klucasI'm do have a question.23:47
mazzomazklucas, hi, thanks for your help. how can I check if there is an permission problem?23:47
tgm4883mazzomaz, where are you trying to configure the plugin?23:47
klucasWhat I'd like to do is have this small form factor PC that's not got a lot under the hood sitting in the living room with the tuner card and a decent video card in it but have my main PC23:48
mazzomaztgm4883, in mythtv-frontend under Configuration23:48
klucasthat's got a little more horsepower to do any of the transcoding or resource intensive stuff23:48
klucasshould I set up the small form factor one as the frontend/primary database and use the main PC as the slave?23:49
tgm4883klucas, no23:49
tgm4883other way around23:49
klucasor should the beefer PC be the master back end23:49
klucaswith the small one acting as the frontend/slave?23:49
tgm4883klucas, in fact, i'd put the tuner there as well23:49
mazzomazmy main-problem is, that I can't play or import some dvd. I click on "Play DVD" i.e. and myth does ... nothing23:49
tgm4883mazzomaz, what version of the plugins and what version of the frontend are you running?23:50
klucasI'd like to put the tuner in there but it's impractical with how the house is wired and where the antenna is.23:50
tgm4883ah23:50
klucasdo you think that's going to be a problem?23:50
tgm4883klucas, no23:50
tgm4883just make that machine a slave to the other one23:51
tgm4883hmm23:51
tgm4883no it should be fine23:51
klucasokay cool.23:51
tgm4883just don't set the smaller machine to do any jobs23:51
klucasah cool.23:51
klucasso the jobs will be passed off to the primary backend server in that case?23:52
tgm4883yep23:52
klucasawesome.23:52
tgm4883there is a checkbox whether you want jobs to be run on the same machine that the recording is on23:52
tgm4883you want that to be unchecked23:52
klucasGreat, I'll have to double check the config on the frontend/slave.23:53
klucasSounds good.23:53
klucasmazzomaz as for checking the permissions if you can find the directory where the plugin is then do an 'ls -l' in a terminal23:54
klucasit should show you what the permissions, owner, and group the files are/have23:55
klucasthen ensure that they're set so that the user you're running the program as has permissions to read/write23:55
mazzomaztgm4883, frontend is 0.23 from auto-builds - how can i check which version the plugins are?23:57
tgm4883mazzomaz, from a command line, do "dpkg -l mythtv-frontend"23:58
tgm4883also do "dpkg -l mythvideo"23:58
