| ryanprel | I have a brand new installation of Mythbuntu 9.10 installed on a server with two hard drives. One is the OS drive and the other is the data drive. The OS drive was wiped clean with the fresh installation and the data drive was remounted to /var/lib/mythtv and contains all of the old recordings and other video files. I have channel data coming in from Schedules Direct and am using a Hauppauge 150 with an analog basic cabl | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| ryanprel | When I set a show to record through MythWeb it acts as if it's scheduling the show and lists it in the recorded programs but gives it a 25kb file size and the encoder in the backend status acts as if nothing is happening | 00:35 |
| ryanprel | I had a working 8.10 installation up until yesterday | 00:36 |
| ryanprel | and haven't moved any hardware or moved any cables | 00:36 |
| ryanprel | When I try to watch live tv, it sits at a black screen with the "waiting..." text | 00:37 |
| WVUSax | i replaced my hauppauge pvr150 with a pchdtv 5500, but i can't get it to work. can anyone help me? | 01:06 |
| foxbuntu | ryanprel, be sure any external tuning scripts are configured and working and the mythtv user has write access to all recording and other media directories | 01:29 |
| dmfrey | WVUSax: what issue are you having? | 01:40 |
| dmfrey | anyone using an Intel Wifi Link 5300 and got it working in mythbuntu 9.10 | 01:41 |
| dmfrey | I am having some issues with this card in an ION frontend | 01:41 |
| dmfrey | it sees all ap's around, connects, pulls an address, but can't get above 1mb/s connection rate | 01:42 |
| dmfrey | also, it can't ping anything else on the network | 01:42 |
| dmfrey | WVUSax: how did you configure your pcHDTV 5500 in mythtv-setup? | 01:43 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: he is gone | 02:09 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: I gotta find my antenna so I can test out my wifi for you | 02:10 |
| rhpot1991 | dunno where I put it, might be an issue | 02:10 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: assuming other wifi devices work fine, right? | 02:11 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: yeah, everything else works fine on the wireless network | 02:22 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: yeah, saw he was gone then | 02:22 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: i am trying to compile the latest driver now | 02:31 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: see if that fixes it | 02:32 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: it is strange that it connects and pulls an address, just can't do anything else | 02:32 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: have you tried setting it up by hand without network manager applet? | 02:32 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: no, but i did switch to wicd and have the same result | 02:33 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: after i get this driver compiled and installed, i will set it up in the interfaces to see if that helps | 02:34 |
| rhpot1991 | dmfrey: I'm working on a website now, I'll dig for that antenna when I'm done | 02:37 |
| dmfrey | rhpot1991: np, thanks | 02:40 |
| ryanprel | Foxbuntu, what external tuning scripts would I need and how would I configure them? What directories does mythtv user need to have write access to? Everything in the mythtv folder should have mythtv user and mythtv group with 755 permissions? | 03:11 |
| foxbuntu | ryanprel, if you are using anything other than Coax/RG6 for your video source you should be using an external channel changer script if you dont already, all directories you have configured (or the defaults) need to have 755 (if owned by mythtv) | 03:13 |
| ryanprel | is there an easy way of recursively assigning everything inside of mythtv folder with the mythtv user and group and 755 permissions | 03:14 |
| ryanprel | everything is located in /var/lib/mythtv | 03:14 |
| ryanprel | and I have coax analog signal coming into the PVR150 | 03:15 |
| foxbuntu | ryanprel, then no channel changer script is needed | 03:15 |
| foxbuntu | ryanprel, sudo chmod 755 -R /var/lib/mythtv | 03:16 |
| ryanprel | ok | 03:16 |
| ryanprel | I'll change the permissions on everything to verify and wait for my package upgrades to complete and then give it a try again | 03:18 |
| ryanprel | all of the packages are up to date, all the permissions in /var/lib/mythtv/* are set to mythtv:mythtv 755 including the root directory itself, the machine has been restarted | 03:32 |
| ryanprel | is there a way to check if a signal is coming in at all (verify it's either the tuner or not the tuner | 03:33 |
| ryanprel | going to live tv just says "Please wait..." | 03:33 |
| ryanprel | I think I've figured it out | 04:11 |
| ryanprel | the card wasn't set as an IVTV MPEG card - it was a V4L card | 04:11 |
| ryanprel | actually, I should ask to verify should it be IVTV (I think that was the acronym) or the other MPEG option for a Hauppauge PVR150 | 04:17 |
| ryanprel | ? | 04:17 |
| ryanprel | it appears to be working | 04:24 |
| ryanprel | thanks for the help | 04:24 |
| Hilikus | after the auto-build repo what's next in less frequency of updates? i want something less frequent than the -fixes repo whcih changes almost every day | 05:15 |
| superm1 | Hilikus, it's changing because upstream if making changes | 05:16 |
| superm1 | you dont have to actually do those updates whenever they make the changes | 05:16 |
| Hilikus | i know, i just want something less frequent | 05:16 |
| superm1 | well tell upstream to stop fixing things then :) | 05:17 |
| superm1 | in the autobuilds FAQ it explains how to look at the changes being made, so you can better evaluate if it's worth making said changes | 05:17 |
| Hilikus | i know i dont have to but i get messages when there are updates in my system | 05:17 |
| superm1 | you can turn off that notification | 05:17 |
| Hilikus | is there some repo thats less frequent but more frequent than the official ubuntu repo? | 05:17 |
| Hilikus | turning it off will make me unaware of important ubuntu updates | 05:18 |
| Hilikus | thats not an option | 05:18 |
| Hilikus | i just want to know if there's something in the middle | 05:18 |
| Hilikus | if not i'll decide if i stay with too many or not enough mythtv updates | 05:19 |
| === aliby- is now known as aliby | ||
| aliby | I have two monitors, my main one on my desk (VGA), and a LCD HDTV (connected with HDMI) next to it that I would like to output my MythTV screen onto. Currently to do this I'm running mythfrontend in Windowed mode and just moving it over onto the second monitor. Is there a better way to do this? All I use the tv for is MythTV... | 16:40 |
| hari_ | is it possible to play stuff in mythbuntu without having to import it to /var/lib/mythtv...blah | 21:41 |
| hari_ | I just want to be able to index stuff in various places and play it in place | 21:41 |
| mrand | hari_: I haven't tried personally (I intend to), but I believe that myth will follow symbolic links | 21:43 |
| hari_ | i don't really want to symlink and this doesn't scale because I can have media from all different parts of my filesystem tree | 21:45 |
| mrand | hari_: Um, so you want click around a whole bunch of directories? I guess you could make / or /home or something the default directory maybe? | 21:51 |
