| ripperda | Hi, I'm having trouble connecting a remote frontend to my backend. the frontend starts, but hangs after seemingly connecting to the DB | 02:14 |
|---|---|---|
| ripperda | I see "Testing network connectivity to 'htpc00'; New DB connection, total: 1", then things stop | 02:14 |
| cmdln | hello | 03:56 |
| ripperda | hmm, got my earlier problem worked out, but still having problems | 04:12 |
| ripperda | i can start the frontend, but it complains about connecting to the db | 04:12 |
| ripperda | I have the remote hostname set correctly, but in the output, mythcontext is trying to connect to the localhost and fails | 04:13 |
| ripperda | am I supposed to run mythtv-setup on frontends that have no local backend? | 04:13 |
| cmdln | when was the last time channel.conf import worked? | 04:55 |
| cmdln | ripper there is a setup inside the frontend | 04:55 |
| cmdln | you tell it what db to connect ot | 04:55 |
| cmdln | can you connect to the remote db with mysql client? | 04:56 |
| cmdln | from the box your frontend is on | 04:56 |
| cmdln | mysql typically comes only listening on localhost, you have to change the bind address | 04:56 |
| ripperda | cmdln, yes, I've been working through problems. I had configured frontend in the setup page, but now it goes straight to that page whenever I start the frontend | 04:57 |
| cmdln | can you connect with mysql cli? | 04:58 |
| ripperda | working on mysql right now. I can connect local on the backend, but not from the frontend. looking at some web pages right now | 04:58 |
| cmdln | edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf | 04:58 |
| ripperda | yes, I commented out the bind line | 04:58 |
| cmdln | change bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to either the ip of the interface | 04:58 |
| cmdln | or to 0.0.0.0 | 04:58 |
| cmdln | you gotta bind it to something | 04:58 |
| cmdln | 0.0.0.0 is all interfaces | 04:59 |
| ripperda | ok, will change it and give it another try | 04:59 |
| cmdln | yeh change that | 04:59 |
| cmdln | restart mysql | 04:59 |
| cmdln | you should be ok then | 04:59 |
| cmdln | as long as there is no firewall | 04:59 |
| ripperda | ok | 04:59 |
| ripperda | hmm, no luck yet | 05:08 |
| cmdln | did you restart mysql? | 05:10 |
| cmdln | see if you can telnet to 3306 (mysql port) from the frontend | 05:13 |
| cmdln | mysql must be listening on the right interface | 05:14 |
| cmdln | and you have to have a user on mysql with proper permissions to connect from that host | 05:14 |
| ripperda | ok, I did restart mysql, although I see this output: | 05:17 |
| ripperda | * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] | 05:17 |
| ripperda | * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] | 05:17 |
| ripperda | * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables. | 05:17 |
| cmdln | that looks normal | 05:18 |
| ripperda | ah that last line is fine, for some reason I was thinking it indicated it didn't close cleanly | 05:18 |
| ripperda | ok, tried telneting in, get this (which may be normal): | 05:18 |
| ripperda | Trying 192.168.1.11... | 05:18 |
| ripperda | Connected to htpc00. | 05:18 |
| ripperda | Escape character is '^]'. | 05:18 |
| ripperda | = | 05:18 |
| ripperda | 5.1.37-1ubuntu5�]d\$<@leV_X{$;?iu/ | 05:18 |
| cmdln | thats good | 05:18 |
| cmdln | you connected | 05:18 |
| cmdln | now try with mysql client | 05:18 |
| ripperda | ok, so that means mysql is configured correctly? | 05:19 |
| cmdln | well it means mysql is listnedng and accepting connections from the other host | 05:19 |
| cmdln | that dosnt mean its correct | 05:19 |
| cmdln | from the frontedn | 05:19 |
| ripperda | got it | 05:19 |
| ripperda | ok, tried this: | 05:19 |
| ripperda | mysql mythconverg -h htpc00 -u mythtv -p | 05:19 |
| ripperda | Enter password: | 05:19 |
| ripperda | and entered the password: | 05:20 |
| ripperda | 5mRYWsZD | 05:20 |
| ripperda | but I get: | 05:20 |
| ripperda | ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'192.168.1.109' (using password: YES) | 05:20 |
| cmdln | that should match what you see in /etc/mythtv/config.xml on the backend | 05:20 |
| cmdln | the password that is | 05:20 |
| ripperda | ok, let me check that to verify | 05:20 |
| ripperda | ok, yes, that matches | 05:21 |
| cmdln | guessing you dont have proper permissions for the user | 05:21 |
| cmdln | on the db server | 05:21 |
| cmdln | mysql -uroot -pmysqlrootpassword | 05:22 |
| cmdln | grant all on mythconverg.* to 'mythtv@%' identified by '5mRYWsZD'; | 05:22 |
| ripperda | interesting, I was trying the same thing on the actual server | 05:23 |
| cmdln | did it work ? | 05:23 |
| ripperda | this works: mysql mythconverg -u mythtv -p | 05:23 |
| cmdln | sure | 05:23 |
| ripperda | this does not: mysql mythconverg -h htpc00 -u mythtv -p | 05:23 |
| ripperda | ie, if I just do the localhost, it works fine, but I explicitly tell it the hostname/ip it does not | 05:23 |
| ripperda | but your previous comment may be key | 05:24 |
| cmdln | right | 05:24 |
| ripperda | I saw that online, but was dumb and did 'password' rather than plugging in the actual password | 05:24 |
| ripperda | I'll try that | 05:24 |
| cmdln | because you only have a grant that allows access for the mythtv user from localhost | 05:24 |
| cmdln | that grant should fix it | 05:24 |
| cmdln | i think | 05:24 |
| cmdln | not a mysql guru | 05:24 |
| ripperda | sure, I'll give it a shot. understood. thanks for the help | 05:25 |
| cmdln | will be close though | 05:25 |
| ripperda | ok, made progress | 05:28 |
| ripperda | I can connect via mysql cli on both systems | 05:28 |
| cmdln | cool | 05:28 |
| ripperda | mythfrontend starts properly again | 05:28 |
| cmdln | now try the frontend | 05:28 |
| ripperda | however I still get "could not connect to the master backend server -- is it running?" | 05:28 |
| ripperda | let me get the output | 05:28 |
| cmdln | you need to restart mythtv-backend | 05:29 |
| cmdln | on the backend | 05:29 |
| ripperda | ok, will try that | 05:29 |
| ripperda | but in the mythfrontend output, I don't see the failure to connect to the DB, but I see: | 05:29 |
| ripperda | MythContext: Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 1) | 05:30 |
| ripperda | when the backend server should be on 192.168.1.11 | 05:30 |
| cmdln | and in the frontend setup you have the right ip? | 05:31 |
| ripperda | I should, but I'll double-check, just restarted the backend | 05:31 |
| ripperda | hmm, yes, I have the right hostname (with the right ip/hostname translation in /etc/hosts) | 05:34 |
| cmdln | mm | 05:34 |
| ripperda | and I see the frontend output connecting the mysql server correctly | 05:34 |
| cmdln | check /etc/mythv/ | 05:34 |
| ripperda | it just looks like MythContext is configured differently/somewhere else | 05:34 |
| cmdln | mmm | 05:34 |
| cmdln | dunno | 05:36 |
| cmdln | look in /etc/mythtv | 05:36 |
| cmdln | on the frontend | 05:36 |
| cmdln | see if there are any plain txt files that have some config in em | 05:36 |
| ripperda | I checked through those, but they all looked correct. I'll keep digging around | 05:36 |
| ripperda | thanks for helping out with the mysql stuff, that helped a lot | 05:37 |
| cmdln | np | 05:37 |
| iamlindoro | ripperda, Your backend is configured to run on 127.0.0.1 | 05:37 |
| iamlindoro | run mythtv-setup on the backend, step 1, general | 05:37 |
| iamlindoro | both IP addresses on that page must be externally accessible | 05:37 |
| iamlindoro | (and in the case of a single backend, the same) | 05:38 |
| cmdln | any idea what the best way to migrate channel data is? | 05:38 |
| cmdln | cant import channels.conf, aparently thats busted | 05:38 |
| ripperda | iamlindoro, thanks, looking at it right now | 05:38 |
| cmdln | i tried just moving the channel table | 05:38 |
| cmdln | that didnt work out well | 05:38 |
| cmdln | couldnt tune | 05:38 |
| cmdln | is there information elsewhere that I missed when I grabbed the channel table? | 05:39 |
| ripperda | iamlindoro, do I need to enter the ip number there, or is a hostname valid? | 05:39 |
| cmdln | hostname should be fine ripper | 05:39 |
| iamlindoro | ripperda, IP address only | 05:39 |
| iamlindoro | no, hostname is not fine | 05:39 |
| cmdln | oh | 05:39 |
| cmdln | interesting | 05:39 |
| cmdln | oh its the address it binds to | 05:40 |
| ripperda | ok, going with IP address | 05:40 |
| cmdln | iamlindoro: any idea on moving the channel maps? | 05:41 |
| ripperda | awesome, its working now | 05:41 |
| ripperda | I can watch tv via the frontend now (if a little jerky) | 05:42 |
| ripperda | thanks much guys | 05:42 |
| ripperda | ! | 05:42 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about | 05:42 |
| iamlindoro | cmdln, channel layouts aren't meant to be moved between systems-- the only supported method to do something like that is to backup and restore the database | 05:42 |
| iamlindoro | channels are cross referenced among about a dozen database tables | 05:42 |
| cmdln | i spent hours mapping that qam data | 05:43 |
| cmdln | theres gotta be a good way | 05:43 |
| cmdln | has the channels.conf import ever worked well? | 05:43 |
| cmdln | I have a script that will generate a channels.conf from the db | 05:43 |
| iamlindoro | What's wrong with restoring your database? | 05:43 |
| cmdln | mmm | 05:44 |
| cmdln | i guess i can do that | 05:44 |
| ripperda | ok, now a (subjective) config question about dvds/videos | 05:55 |
| ripperda | I've been ripping my dvds to iso images for use around the house by mythtv | 05:55 |
| ripperda | I have a myth-backend, a NAS for the isos, and frontends | 05:55 |
| ripperda | I was going to have the backend physically near the NAS and use storage groups to stream the videos to the frontends | 05:55 |
| ripperda | but storage groups in 22 don't support streaming isos | 05:56 |
| ripperda | so is the "right" thing to do to point all of the frontend filepaths to the NAS location? | 05:56 |
| foxbuntu | ripperda, for .22, yes | 05:59 |
| foxbuntu | ripperda, mount the nas to the frontends and point to that | 06:00 |
| ripperda | foxbuntu, ok, thanks. do you have experience with that? how well does that work? | 06:00 |
| ripperda | hmm, I was worried about network latency and pulling the file, but mythvideo should be able to pull parts of the iso as it plays back | 06:01 |
| ripperda | I'll experiment and see how well it works | 06:01 |
| cmdln | humm | 06:02 |
| cmdln | i restored my database to my new backend | 06:02 |
| cmdln | yay the channel map didnt get hosed | 06:02 |
| foxbuntu | ripperda, it all depends on your network and nas | 06:02 |
| cmdln | but boo, i cant tune | 06:03 |
| ripperda | foxbuntu, understood | 06:03 |
| cmdln | any idea what i might be overlooking? | 06:03 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, I assume you restored your DB for a reason other than fun, so I am wondering if your external channel changer script is still in place/tested/working | 06:05 |
| cmdln | Im using an hdhomerun | 06:06 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, aright... | 06:06 |
| cmdln | installing the frontend on the backend now to see if it works there | 06:06 |
| cmdln | nop same | 06:07 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, usually when the HDHR doesnt tune its a connectivity issue | 06:07 |
| cmdln | i didnt have to do anything special to get the hdhomerun working | 06:07 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, try this on the backend: hdhomerun_config discover | 06:07 |
| cmdln | it found it | 06:09 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, ok, now try this | 06:09 |
| foxbuntu | sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart | 06:09 |
| cmdln | ok its restarted | 06:10 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, try tuning | 06:10 |
| cmdln | cant from myth | 06:11 |
| cmdln | i get the playback starting screen | 06:11 |
| cmdln | then it hops back | 06:11 |
| foxbuntu | aright | 06:11 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, cat /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | pastebinit | 06:11 |
| foxbuntu | provide me that url | 06:12 |
| rhpot1991 | foxbuntu: I have the HDHR config gui on the testing ppa, might help here | 06:13 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, maybe | 06:13 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, we' see what the logs have to say first | 06:13 |
| cmdln | ha | 06:14 |
| cmdln | thanks | 06:14 |
| cmdln | just needed to look | 06:14 |
| cmdln | couldnt creat ring buffer, perm issue on the recordings dir | 06:14 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, glad to help ;) | 06:14 |
| cmdln | anyone know what the deal will be with the cable card version | 06:15 |
| cmdln | thats supposed to come out sometime | 06:15 |
| cmdln | ie if i have a cable card will the cable card be able to get the virtual channel map updates from the provider? | 06:15 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, well they were going to annouce at CES, but I havent heard more than that | 06:15 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, it will depend on your provider and how much cablecard support they will provide | 06:16 |
| cmdln | mmm | 06:16 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, at this point very few of the cable providers offer/support the cablecard spec | 06:17 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, and more importantly the CableCard 2.0 spec | 06:18 |
| cmdln | mmm | 06:20 |
| cmdln | our cable provider usualy impliments stuff fairly fast | 06:20 |
| cmdln | for a small town anyway | 06:20 |
| cmdln | im just ticked they dont provide the qam mappings | 06:20 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, many dont | 06:21 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, thus Schedules Direct | 06:21 |
| cmdln | schedules direct dosnt give you the qam channels though, just the virtual cable channels right? | 06:21 |
| cmdln | its my understanding the providers will futz with the qam channels and move them around, but leave the virtual channel the same for all the cable boxes | 06:22 |
| cmdln | i just dont think i should have to pay for cable boxes to find my channels | 06:22 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, well if th cable provider send the call sign schedules direct will match up in the db with it | 06:22 |
| cmdln | and the one free one they provide dosnt work with HD | 06:22 |
| cmdln | how can I tell if they send the call sign? | 06:23 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, I agree and wish I didnt, but there is allot of content that doesnt come on the QAM here | 06:23 |
| cmdln | i didnt see it when i did a manual scan | 06:23 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, well somtimes the channel will show "ABCDT" or similar on the QAM | 06:23 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, but it will contain the QAM channel number | 06:24 |
| cmdln | mmm | 06:24 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, if it doesnt even do that then, no, schedules direct is of no help | 06:24 |
| cmdln | yeh where would the channel "show" that | 06:25 |
| cmdln | when i was making my map i filled in the callsign | 06:25 |
| cmdln | should i see it in the output when i do a hdhomerun_config scan? | 06:26 |
| foxbuntu | not all of them will but it will be easily visible if the EIT data from the cable provider has it | 06:26 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, no | 06:26 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, channel scan in MythTV | 06:26 |
| foxbuntu | er... mythtv-setup | 06:26 |
| cmdln | so i shouldnt have to do anything special? | 06:28 |
| foxbuntu | nope | 06:28 |
| cmdln | ive seen a checkbox somewhere about eit | 06:28 |
| cmdln | but i dont see it in the scan config | 06:28 |
| foxbuntu | nope | 06:28 |
| foxbuntu | just run a full scan on QAM 256 | 06:29 |
| cmdln | mmm i know some people in the head end, maybe i can get them to start broadcasting that | 06:29 |
| cmdln | cause when i did that the first time, i just got numbers for the call sign | 06:29 |
| cmdln | so here is a good one for ya | 06:29 |
| foxbuntu | yeah...if the callsign isnt there | 06:29 |
| cmdln | i havent done the second tuner yet | 06:29 |
| foxbuntu | what second tuner? | 06:30 |
| cmdln | im just going to hook it to the same input | 06:30 |
| cmdln | the other tuner in the hdhr | 06:30 |
| foxbuntu | you dont have to scan both | 06:30 |
| cmdln | thank god | 06:30 |
| foxbuntu | you only need the data once | 06:30 |
| cmdln | docs online seeemed to make it sound like that | 06:30 |
| foxbuntu | ah | 06:30 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, the HDHR supports multirec as well since .22 | 06:31 |
| cmdln | multirec? | 06:31 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, it can tune to multiplexes | 06:31 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, the HD signal for QAM/ATSC is broadcast on multiplexes which means several channels may be on the same multiplex | 06:32 |
| cmdln | right | 06:32 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, I have my HDHR setup to record 6 channels at a time | 06:32 |
| cmdln | 6? | 06:32 |
| foxbuntu | yup | 06:32 |
| foxbuntu | 3 per tuner | 06:32 |
| cmdln | mmmmm | 06:32 |
| cmdln | how | 06:33 |
| cmdln | lol | 06:33 |
| cmdln | you recording all the other programs on that channel? | 06:33 |
| cmdln | or you pick 6 independant | 06:33 |
| foxbuntu | if you look at the tuner config (I think the last page) it asks how many simultaious recordings this tuner can do, just shove a number in there...it will figure out which channels are on the same multiple | 06:33 |
| foxbuntu | x | 06:33 |
| cmdln | input groups? | 06:34 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, no, most of my local HD channels (ABC/FOX/NBC/ect) on QAM are on like 2 multiplexes | 06:34 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, nope, its on the tuner it self | 06:35 |
| foxbuntu | in mythtv-setup | 06:35 |
| cmdln | damn i need to hit wikipedia | 06:35 |
| Zinn | cmdln: Please watch your language. | 06:35 |
| cmdln | sorry | 06:35 |
| cmdln | heh | 06:35 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, hes a bot | 06:35 |
| cmdln | yeah | 06:35 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, but yes ; | 06:35 |
| foxbuntu | :) | 06:35 |
| cmdln | realized right after i appologised to him | 06:35 |
| cmdln | heh | 06:35 |
| foxbuntu | haha | 06:36 |
| cmdln | so does it matter what you set max recordings to? | 06:36 |
| foxbuntu | nope | 06:36 |
| foxbuntu | in theory | 06:36 |
| cmdln | hum | 06:36 |
| foxbuntu | it will only record based on the multiplexes | 06:37 |
| cmdln | i dont understand what the multiplexes are | 06:37 |
| foxbuntu | I dont know of any negative results for setting it too high (if there is a too high) | 06:37 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, think of them as the next level up of containers for braodcast data | 06:38 |
| cmdln | ok but how do i know what content is broadcast on what multiplex? | 06:38 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, the levels are TV Show -> Channels -> Multiplex | 06:38 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, you could look it up in the DB, but there is no need to know | 06:38 |
| cmdln | ok and the multiplex is commonly reffered to as the "program id" | 06:38 |
| cmdln | that right? | 06:39 |
| foxbuntu | no | 06:39 |
| cmdln | oh | 06:39 |
| foxbuntu | it is a multiplex | 06:39 |
| foxbuntu | program id is the episode information | 06:39 |
| foxbuntu | recording date and so one | 06:39 |
| cmdln | so my basic digital tv | 06:40 |
| cmdln | i have qam channels | 06:40 |
| cmdln | like 27.3 | 06:40 |
| cmdln | or 27-3 | 06:40 |
| cmdln | the 3? | 06:40 |
| foxbuntu | nope its mre specific to the particular episode of a show that is playing | 06:42 |
| cmdln | huh | 06:43 |
| cmdln | ill have to dig around | 06:43 |
| cmdln | right now its too much magic :) | 06:43 |
| cmdln | im just happy to have my mythbox working again | 06:44 |
| cmdln | been down for 2 years | 06:44 |
| cmdln | heh | 06:44 |
| cmdln | died before a move, decided id wait till after the digital switchover to mess again | 06:44 |
| cmdln | boy have i missed it | 06:44 |
| cmdln | this little hdhr is great though | 06:44 |
| cmdln | just being able to use it with vlc is interesting | 06:45 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, geez, I would die without my myth at this point | 07:01 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 07:01 |
| ripperda | so I found that playing back movies works for some, but not others. most likely due to file size | 07:03 |
| ripperda | so playing around with researching how to speed that up | 07:03 |
| ripperda | I had my NAS share mounted via CIFS/SMB, so did a quick, dirty, non-scientific comparison between that and NFS | 07:04 |
| ripperda | just copied multiple mp3/flac files | 07:04 |
| ripperda | NFS is much faster, copies files in a little under half the time | 07:04 |
| ripperda | eg. ~1.8 seconds on SMB for a 8 MB file, vs .77 on NFS | 07:05 |
| cmdln | foxbuntu: yeh the only reason i didnt die is because i would just dl the shows i wanted to watch heh | 07:05 |
| ripperda | a 40 MB file took ~8-10 seconds on SMB, vs 3.7 seconds on NFS | 07:05 |
| foxbuntu | ripperda, this is known/common NFS is quite a bit faster than SMB | 07:06 |
| ripperda | foxbuntu, I should have known, likely due to lighter-weight transactions w/ no access/security? | 07:07 |
| foxbuntu | ripperda, thats part of it | 07:07 |
| Easy_Rider9999 | Hallo has anybody got idle detection working with mythbuntu 9.10? | 09:20 |

| iamlindoro | TVDB API is down | 17:14 |
| iamlindoro | thus the error | 17:14 |
| iamlindoro | a fairly common occurence, you just need to wait until it comes back up whenever that happens | 17:14 |
| cmdln | thanks for the suggestion iamlindoro last night, moving the whole db was easy enough, but seems like would be useful to export/import channel lineups | 17:27 |
| cmdln | any hardware recomendations for a frontend thats almost silent and can do HD plus scores high on the WAF | 17:28 |
| LetsGo67 | How do I configure my Hauppage card? | 17:37 |
| rhpot1991 | !frontend | cmdln | 17:46 |
| Zinn | cmdln: Ion Boxes make a great frontend. http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2 | 17:46 |
| cmdln | thanks rhpot1991 | 17:55 |
| cmdln | that does look pretty good | 17:55 |
| cmdln | I had heard that linux couldnt do audio over hdmi, looks like that was either stale or just wrong info | 17:55 |
| rhpot1991 | old info, it can now | 17:58 |
| cmdln | now i just need to find the perfect remote | 18:07 |
| cmdln | dont think they are quite making them | 18:08 |
| cmdln | soon though | 18:08 |
| cmdln | android devices | 18:08 |
| cmdln | like the ipod touch but android based | 18:08 |
| cmdln | so non-directional | 18:08 |
| cmdln | multi room capable | 18:08 |
| rhpot1991 | get a harmony they are good | 18:09 |
| cmdln | ive got one | 18:09 |
| rhpot1991 | need something to receive IR though | 18:09 |
| cmdln | but what i dont like is waiting for the ir | 18:09 |
| cmdln | the macros that turn on the tv and the stereo etc ... | 18:10 |
| cmdln | error prone and slow | 18:10 |
| cmdln | need to be able to control my tv power from the PC | 18:10 |
| cmdln | stereo could just stay on all the time | 18:10 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, commandIR is a multi unit IR blaster with decent lirc support | 18:24 |
| cmdln | yeah, the ir blaster dosnt have a high WAF | 18:25 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, what do you mean by WAF? | 18:26 |
| cmdln | wife approval factor | 18:26 |
| foxbuntu | ah | 18:26 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 18:26 |
| cmdln | heh | 18:26 |
| cmdln | yeah | 18:26 |
| foxbuntu | why not? | 18:26 |
| foxbuntu | you can hide them pretty well | 18:27 |
| cmdln | the wire running along somewhere | 18:27 |
| cmdln | poking out | 18:28 |
| cmdln | adhesive to the ir sensor | 18:28 |
| foxbuntu | meh, tell her where her place is...that will help the WAF | 18:28 |
| foxbuntu | lmai | 18:28 |
| cmdln | LOL | 18:28 |
| foxbuntu | lmao* | 18:28 |
| * foxbuntu understands WAF all too well | 18:28 | |
| cmdln | tvs need to have network capability and be able to be controlled with an api | 18:29 |
| cmdln | i know you can control some tvs over usb | 18:30 |
| Daviey | I can control mine via serial | 18:31 |
| cmdln | even my 60 inch dosnt have serial | 18:31 |
| cmdln | oh well | 18:31 |
| cmdln | still not too bad to use 2 remotes one just to power on the tv | 18:32 |
| cmdln | i like the way my harmony feels | 18:32 |
| cmdln | but its too slow | 18:32 |
| cmdln | id prefer to just use an android device | 18:33 |
| cmdln | over the network | 18:33 |
| rhpot1991 | cmdln: do you have some old harmony or something? | 18:33 |
| cmdln | i suppose | 18:33 |
| rhpot1991 | my 890 kills any other remote combo I've ever touched | 18:33 |
| cmdln | its several years old | 18:33 |
| rhpot1991 | 880 correction | 18:33 |
| cmdln | dont remember the model | 18:33 |
| cmdln | going to hook up mymote soon | 18:34 |
| cmdln | so i can use my iphone | 18:34 |
| cmdln | but im chomping at the bit to get rid of my iphone | 18:34 |
| cmdln | dont get me wrong, best phone ive ever had | 18:34 |
| cmdln | but it just sucks in comparison to android | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | drmphone... | 18:34 |
| cmdln | jailbroken its not bad | 18:35 |
| cmdln | but still | 18:35 |
| cmdln | i want an android device | 18:35 |
| cmdln | ATT network here is better than verizons | 18:35 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, the harmony I had beta tested awhile back with my system was crappy slow too | 18:35 |
| cmdln | so i want to stick with that | 18:35 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, I can click 3x faster with my uber old mce | 18:35 |
| cmdln | might get the backflip | 18:35 |
| foxbuntu | cmdln, not going to spring for a Nexus One? | 18:36 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 18:36 |
| cmdln | heh | 18:36 |
| cmdln | i work for Mot | 18:37 |
| cmdln | ill pad my own bank account thanks | 18:37 |
| cmdln | lol | 18:37 |
| foxbuntu | heh | 18:37 |
| cmdln | too bad the droid isnt on ATT net, id have that | 18:37 |
| cmdln | blows the iphone out of the water | 18:37 |
| foxbuntu | only one you can get is the Nexus One | 18:38 |
| foxbuntu | but at full retail... | 18:38 |
| foxbuntu | :( | 18:38 |
| cmdln | only what i can get? | 18:39 |
| cmdln | the backflip will be out soon | 18:39 |
| cmdln | its interesting formfactor | 18:39 |
| foxbuntu | android (at the moment) | 18:42 |
| cmdln | ah right | 18:44 |
| cmdln | i think the backflip looks interesting though | 18:44 |
| cmdln | that will be out q1 | 18:44 |
| cmdln | on ATT | 18:44 |
| cmdln | or so i hear | 18:44 |
| cmdln | heck yeah | 18:48 |
| cmdln | just got mymote workin | 18:48 |
| cmdln | that is groovy | 18:48 |
| cmdln | wayyyyyy more responsive than an IR remote | 18:48 |
| cmdln | lol | 18:48 |
| cmdln | think about it | 18:48 |
| cmdln | no more losing the remote control | 18:49 |
| cmdln | if you lose it in the couch cushins or something you can just call it to find it | 18:49 |
| cmdln | ROFLMAO | 18:49 |
| cmdln | is there still no way to backup the newer dvds with linux? (arccos/ripguard protected) | 19:54 |
