DartmanXdo i have to run a command for the frontend to see the videos? the directory is configured in setup00:29
rhpot1991DartmanX: hit m to bring up menu, then "scan for changes"00:34
rhpot1991while in your video collection00:34
foxbunturhpot1991, actually it scans for changes everytime you enter videos now01:22
iamlindoronews to me01:22
iamlindoroyou'd think I would have had to write that kind of thing01:23
iamlindoromore likely you just have file browse mode one :)01:23
chickensin mythbuntu what is the username and password for the live cd? Trying to get nvidia drivers working and cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.01:23
chickenswell, that was plain stupid of me -- username is ubuntu and password is null.01:24
foxbuntuiamlindoro, ah, well I just saw it do it, so assumed you had done it01:31
foxbuntuiamlindoro, nevermind me then....01:31
chromehey anyone know of a script to automatically download nzb files from an rss feed?01:48
chromei have hellanzb working great, just want something to plug the gap :)01:48
chrometorrentwatch will do it maybe01:52
bobobobi cant seem to get the video manager to scan for new shows since I updated from 8.10 to 9.10.  When I go into Video Manager it only shows the old information, the old one would refresh before listing shows.02:12
bobobobnvm...found it...LOL02:13
bobobobwow, I am having several situations where during the updates things moved their home and now I have a old version and a new version...:(02:17
bobobobcausing some interesting problems02:17
bobobobfor instance...I can now play my files using mplayer from the terminal, but I it won't work in FE....the video manager is finding the files just fine...02:26
bobobobthe video player settings are:mplayer -fs -quiet -cache 50000 -zoom -vo xv %s02:29
bobobobwhen I try to play from mplayer it just locks up until I go kill the mplayer process02:30
bobobobes02:30
bobobobany ideas?02:30
bobobobokay...wonder why mplayer -fs -quiet -cache 50000 -zoom -vo xv %s doesn't work in terminal anymore :(02:33
darthanubissuperm1, https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/50212903:07
foxbuntudarthanubis, you will want to provide the output of: apt-cache policy mythweb on that bug as well03:33
TreyBDoes anyone know if a 0.22.x FE can talk to a 0.20.x BE, or has the protocol/database diverged too much?05:18
iamlindoroMyth frontends and backends must always be of identical version05:21
TreyBI suspected as much.  I make the same requirement for the code I write at work, but I thought I'd ask.05:22
jac1dGood evneing all05:51
jac1dI recently got a Command-IR unit and am trying to install it with Mythbuntu 64 bit, does anyone here have experience with the command IR units?05:52
foxbuntujac1d, I have used them in the past06:15
foxbuntujac1d, I beta tested the command IR mini for the company that builds them06:16
foxbuntujac1d, what seems to be the issue?06:16
jac1dHi06:21
jac1dI can't seem to get it to appear in dmesg and it has a red light on the front06:21
jac1dI found this thread http://www.commandir.com/content/view/65/85/ and they talk about running lircd by hand to test it, which I have done, and it goes green (for a bit) but irw still gives me nothing with a hauppauge remote06:21
jac1dI added a PCI USB card as well, as there was some discussion about on board USB being an issue, but that hasn't helped either.  I'm downloading the 32 bit ISO now to see if that is of any use06:22
jac1dhmm following their troubleshooting which I just found, with the PCI card it does appear to be up although I can't get irw to say anything... going to double check the lircd.conf entrie06:28
jac1dEpic fail on a brand new 32 bit mythbuntu install... first reboot post install (e.g. finishing menus/removing CD) and the video driver appears to not be working for my Nvidia 9400, console flashing and looping07:31
foxbuntujac1d, did you enable the nvidia proprietary drivers?07:52
jac1dfoxbuntu: yes08:04
jac1dfoxbuntu: I removed the xorg.conf file and was able to get to a desktop but am really quite frustrated, although that is mostly aimed at the non-functioning IR unit08:04
foxbuntujac1d, not sure what your issue with xorg was then, there is not really any issues swapping between x32 and x64 mythbuntu, I use both08:05
foxbuntuwith the same video card in two separate systems08:05
foxbuntu(not our 9400, but equal cards between my two systems)08:06
jac1dfoxbuntu: I have no idea either, but tonight has been a total disaster08:11
foxbuntujac1d, you'll have that...Im fighting a tuner issue atm too... :(08:12
jac1dI started out with a working x64 system that I'd spent hours tweaking and getting everythign working and couldn't get the IR to work, so per the limited forum postings I could find I recerted to x32 and now I don't even have accelerated video08:12
jac1dyes, been using myth for 7 years now, but haven't had a steamer like this in a while08:12
jac1dThe command IR unit appears to be there (when I use the PCI add on USB card) but irw gives me nothing on the console...  the light codes seem correct on the unit as far as I can tell, but irw sees nothing08:13
foxbuntujac1d, thats too bad, I dont use IR anymore for similar fights quite awhile ago, (nothing specific to the command IR)08:14
jac1dI have no option, my provider is iptv so set top only08:14
foxbuntujac1d, irw only will output info if the codes it recieves match the remote codes in your lircd.conf08:14
foxbuntujac1d, oh I run STBs as well, but I run my analog cable STB via serial, and the HD ones via firewire08:15
jac1dyes, but I'm using the stock hauppauge config and two different hauppauge remotes (pvr-150 and hvr-1600)08:15
jac1dsadly my stb only has usb and it is disabled by the telco08:16
foxbuntufigures...08:16
jac1dso as far as I know, both remotes codes are correct, they are the most common pvr remotes out there, I've been using them for 7 years...08:16
foxbuntujac1d, on those remotes (at least the pvr-150, iirc they are just stock Win MCE remotes no?08:16
jac1dno, not that I know of08:17
jac1dthe pvr-x50 remotes were unique to hauppauge08:17
jac1dI believe08:17
foxbuntuits a little silver peanut shaped thing?08:17
foxbuntu(maybe black)08:17
foxbuntuperhaps I am wrong on that...08:18
foxbuntutoo many remotes floating around up there...08:18
jac1dfoxbuntu: I've got the original grey one and the dog bone shaped one, I'll find a link08:18
foxbuntujac1d, yeah, I thought so, I run the same remote today08:19
foxbuntuI used to run allot of PVR-150s08:19
foxbuntubut mine is Win MCE08:19
foxbuntugot the little window logo in the middle and all08:20
foxbuntu(in the larger square button)08:20
jac1dfoxbuntu: Definitely not the same as mine, these are not mce08:20
jac1dfoxbuntu: icing the night I can't find a bloody photo!08:20
foxbuntujac1d, like this?08:21
foxbuntuhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:Pvr350.jpg08:21
jac1dfoxbuntu: Yes, I have one of those too, that is the newer one08:21
jac1dthat doesn't work either, same thing, appears to be read, I get red then green lights on the command ir unit, but irw stays silent08:21
foxbuntujac1d, any of these? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote08:22
jac1dnope, although I have a nice HP MCE remote sitting here too that I intend to use as my master when I get everything working08:22
foxbuntujac1d, this one specificly: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:Mce-hauppauge.jpg08:22
jac1dfoxbuntu: Nope.  Maybe I should try the MCE file and see if it works...08:23
foxbuntujac1d, I have been running that very remote since I built my first system, I have tried several others but keep coming back to that one08:23
foxbuntujac1d, cant hurt any to add the "include"08:23
jac1doh just add it, don't replace the other?08:24
jac1ddo you know the path to the MCE file?08:24
foxbuntujac1d, yeah...let me get it08:25
jac1dThis one?  /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb08:26
foxbuntuinclude "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"08:26
foxbuntuput that line in lircd.conf08:26
jac1dfoxbuntu: Well I'll be, that one seems to work08:27
foxbuntujac1d, thought it might ;)08:27
jac1dfoxbuntu: With the HP remote mind you, not the Hauppauge ones08:27
jac1dfoxbuntu: But that is fine, I didn't intend to use the Hauppauge ones08:28
foxbuntujac1d, the Win MCE remote is the most recycled one out there...08:28
jac1dfoxbuntu: Was only trying them as they seemed to be the most universally supported over the years... thats a bit of a shocka that they didn't work out of the box08:28
jac1dfoxbuntu: now the ugly bit, can I make it control my STB...08:28
foxbuntujac1d, as long as you have ir codes to send to the STB...you should be good08:29
jac1dfoxbuntu: http://lircconfig.commandir.com/lircd.conf/?viewremote=852 I think08:30
foxbuntujac1d, its the sae theory behind irw, as long as the remote codes are in the lircd.conf for irsend to use08:30
foxbuntujac1d, paste that whole thing in your lircd.conf (or make an add on file is what I would do)08:30
foxbuntu...and include it like the mce remote08:31
jac1dfoxbuntu: done... now how to call it... since I have to specify which transmitter...08:32
foxbuntujac1d, thats on the commandir site somewhere08:32
foxbuntuthey tell you how to test it08:33
jac1dyes, just poking around there... talking about special lircd.conf for their stuff08:33
jac1djust dl'd it08:34
foxbuntujust be sure to tack that mce line onto theirs08:34
jac1dfoxbuntu: added separate includes for both, I assume that is ok?08:36
foxbuntuyup08:37
jac1dwell here goes nothing, just wired it up08:39
jac1dhmm got a whole lot of red lights flashing08:40
foxbuntunot sure if thats progress or not08:51
jac1dweird I get 6 red then 1 green on light B08:53
jac1dand a single flash over port 1... so it seems to know I want to use port 1 but I'd say something serious is wrong...08:54
jac1dfoxbuntu: thanks for your help tonight, calling it quits for now I think09:16
noaXesshello10:29
noaXesshave enabled autobuilds from mythbuntu, since i have upgraded to the newest 0.22 version, forward jumping while watching a recorded show is very slow..10:29
noaXessalse reverse jumping..10:38
ReidHaving issues with display, it's off center, I can't adjust from hardware, any ideas?12:28
noaXess_kubuntuhave enabled autobuilds from mythbuntu, since i have upgraded to the newest 0.22 version, forward jumping while watching a recorded show is very slow..16:49
Hilikushow do i change the mythweb password without using mythbuntu-control-center19:01
darthanubisHilikus, dpkg-reconfigure mythweb19:03
Hilikuswhy does it get changed everty time i update???19:03
darthanubisidk19:04
Hilikusis there some way to have the mythtv autobuilds repos but not daily but meaningful changes?20:28
Hilikusonly20:29
superm1Hilikus, there is no way to differentiate between changes upstream makes20:30
superm1if there is a change to -fixes, everything is rebuilt20:30
superm1if its not changed in -fixes, nothing is built that day20:30
Hilikusmmm ok, i see20:30
superm1its a matter of opinion what's meaningful too20:31
superm1so unless you've got some AI to share to help the computer determine .... :)20:31
Hilikushehe20:32
Hilikusno, i mean, changes made by humans, not just nightly automatic builds20:32
superm1Oh, yeah that's already going on20:32
superm1if there isn't a change made upstream on -fixes, the build won't run20:33
Hilikusso those changes upstream are not just automatic snapshots20:35
superm1right20:35
superm1http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/timeline20:36
superm1search for something called release-0-22-fixes on that page20:36
superm1and you can see exactly what's changed20:36
Hilikuscool!20:37
Hilikusthanks guys20:37
superm1i'll add some of this to the autobuilds-faq20:37
superm1np20:37
Hilikusdo you know why whenever i update with autobuilds my mythweb password gets changed?20:38
Hilikusit always gets changed20:38
superm1how'd you originally set it?20:38
Hilikusi think it was with dpkg20:39
Hilikusi dont really remember20:39
superm1well it's possible there is a bug20:39
noaXess_kubuntusince i have upgraded to the newest 0.22 version, forward jumping while watching a recorded show is very slow..20:39
superm1but it probably matters how you originally did the setting of it for why it's breaking20:39
superm1if you run dpkg-reconfigure mythweb, does it break again?20:39
superm1noaXess_kubuntu, are you maybe missing a closed source driver?20:40
superm1or did you perhaps pick a bad video playback deinterlacer20:40
Hilikussuperm1: yes, i just did it 1 hour ago with dpkg and now i updated 2 minutes ago and it stopped working20:41
superm1Hilikus, you did an install with dpkg, or you did a dpkg-reconfigure (with that command)?20:41
Hilikusi did it once with MCC20:42
superm1Hilikus, okay so it's possible there is an mcc bug20:42
superm1can you please do it with that command and see if it fails?20:42
Hilikuswith reconfigure?20:43
superm1that exact command i listed20:43
Hilikusthats the one i did 1 hour ago and it already failed20:43
superm1Oh20:43
Hilikus<darthanubis> Hilikus, dpkg-reconfigure mythweb20:43
superm1hm20:43
superm1then something is wrong with the logic there in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythweb.postinst20:44
Hilikusi'll check that up20:44
Hilikusthanks agsain20:44
superm1okay FAQ updated21:03
