| klucas | Hi All, | 00:33 |

| klucas | Anyone got a pcHDTV HD-5500 capture card? What do you think? I'm thinking of getting one and like that it doesn't honour the broadcast flag. | 00:33 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: don't you ^ | 00:40 |

| rhpot1991 | a work in progress currently | 00:41 |
| rhpot1991 | but you can get an idea of what works well based upon what we are all using | 00:41 |
| rhpot1991 | if you stick around I'm sure tgm4883 will chime in | 00:41 |
| klucas | Cool, will do Thanks. | 00:42 |
| jcpunk | I just re-installed my mythbuntu box and it doesn't seem to be reading my samba shares? | 01:06 |
| jcpunk | how can I make sure myth is looking in the right place? | 01:06 |
| Jester05 | is there a way to access the mythbuntu control center via terminal(ssh) | 01:08 |
| jcpunk | I have mounted a samba share containing a few .avi files in /var/lib/mythtv/videos and made sure the umask is good | 01:08 |
| Jester05 | jcpunk, I had alot of difficulty w/ my samba shares too :-\ | 01:08 |
| jcpunk | Jester05, if you have Xforwarding enabled you can ssh in as a user with sudo rights and run mythbuntu-control-centre | 01:09 |
| Jester05 | what are you doing for your fstab? | 01:09 |
| Jester05 | well i was hoping to do that w/o having to allow xforwarding | 01:09 |
| Jester05 | however, if X is the quick fix, I can | 01:09 |
| jcpunk | 192.168.100.100/Videos /var/lib/mythtv/videos cifs guest,ro,uid=103,gid=105,nobrl,rsize=130048,nocase,defaults 0 0 | 01:10 |
| jcpunk | X forwarding is the best solution for that IMHO, it is low risk and low resource usage until you need it | 01:10 |
| Jester05 | jcpunk, according to sshd_config .. xforwarding is enabled.. does it need to be enabled by both ssh i'm logged into and ssh i'm logging in from? | 01:12 |
| jcpunk | if it is enabled server side, your client may not be doing the setup (it should be by default) try ssh -X | 01:13 |
| jcpunk | rather than just ssh | 01:13 |
| Jester05 | alright | 01:13 |
| Jester05 | i'll give it a go | 01:13 |
| Jester05 | NICE! | 01:14 |
| Jester05 | thanks man :) | 01:14 |
| jcpunk | no worries | 01:14 |
| Jester05 | would you like to see the fstab of a machine setup I have had previously working great? | 01:15 |
| Jester05 | may help with your samba mounting issue | 01:15 |
| Jester05 | /192.168.1.101/shared/media/sharedcifsrw,user,uid=1000,gid=100,password=2566793800 | 01:15 |
| Jester05 | thats a // | 01:15 |
| Jester05 | "//192.168.1.101/shared/media/sharedcifsrw,user,uid=1000,gid=100,password=2566793800" | 01:16 |
| Jester05 | there we go | 01:16 |
| jcpunk | thanks, I suspect my problem is more myth related than samba related | 01:16 |
| Jester05 | well what are you trying to do? | 01:16 |
| jcpunk | I had this wokring this morning and decided to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 01:16 |
| Jester05 | make sure your user is the owner of the share | 01:17 |
| jcpunk | I have a bunch of random video files I am trying to load into mythvideo | 01:17 |
| jcpunk | the weird thing is, when i try and simplify and unmount the share and just copy a movie into the directory it still doesn't display | 01:18 |
| jcpunk | I can set the permissions to 777 on everything and nothing changes | 01:19 |
| jcpunk | at this point I am not convinced that myth is looking in that directory | 01:19 |
| Jester05 | wait.. | 01:21 |
| Jester05 | do you mean that video manager isn't picking them up? | 01:21 |
| jcpunk | yep | 01:21 |
| Jester05 | HAHAHAHA man.. | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | I had the exact same problem | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | you're going to feel kinda dumb when i tell you how to fix it | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | lol | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | i did the exact same thing for hours b4 someone told me the correction lol | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | open video manager and press m for menu | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | then click on scan for changes lol | 01:22 |
| Jester05 | SAME exact thing i did .. spent hours trying to figure out access issues | 01:23 |
| jcpunk | OMG! I have been fighting this for more hours than I want to admit | 01:23 |
| jcpunk | I'd say we just had a fair exchange of knowledge | 01:23 |
| jcpunk | (didn't video manager do this by default in the last version?_ | 01:24 |
| jcpunk | ) | 01:24 |
| Jester05 | yeah i know lol | 01:24 |
| Jester05 | I spent HOURS trying to figure that out lol | 01:24 |
| jcpunk | I may have logged about 6 fighting this.... sigh | 01:25 |
| Jester05 | in video manager "e" edits the info, "m" is menu, and "i" allows you to access information on that specific video.. reset meta data (which is at the bottom of the list of meta data stuff and requires you to scroll down to see it) | 01:25 |
| jcpunk | thanks for the help! | 01:25 |
| Jester05 | no prob man | 01:26 |
| jcpunk | you can forward the control center now right? | 01:26 |
| Jester05 | its allowing me to access the control center but I cannot make changes it seems | 01:26 |
| jcpunk | hmmmm.... | 01:26 |
| rhpot1991 | ssh -X <backend> | 01:26 |
| Jester05 | i wonder if its b/c I manually installed some of the codecs and things b4 | 01:26 |
| rhpot1991 | then sudo mythbuntu-control-centre | 01:26 |
| rhpot1991 | and you should be able to run it and make change | 01:26 |
| jcpunk | I thought it wrapped around gtksu? | 01:27 |
| Jester05 | haha | 01:27 |
| Jester05 | sorry, i'm an idiot lol | 01:27 |
| Jester05 | I thought i was already sudo su'd in lol | 01:27 |
| Jester05 | wow, we're both being smart tonight ;) | 01:28 |
| jcpunk | wouldn't be the first one to do that, nor will you be the last | 01:28 |
| Jester05 | lol yeah, having an off night lo | 01:28 |
| jcpunk | if things seem good I will head out | 01:29 |
| Jester05 | yeah i seem to be good to go now | 01:31 |
| Jester05 | lol | 01:31 |
| Jester05 | this past weekend I've managed to set up my entire system | 01:31 |
| jcpunk | nice! | 01:32 |
| Jester05 | out in the living room I have 2 analog and 1 digital tuner | 01:32 |
| jcpunk | that must have been a mess | 01:32 |
| Jester05 | in the bedroom (secondary backend), I have 1 digital tuner | 01:32 |
| Jester05 | oh yeah it was a pain just b/c I had to learn how to use 9.10 lol | 01:32 |
| Jester05 | thanks for the help tho man, have a good one | 01:32 |
| bcgrown | my database seems to have disappeared. Can anyone help me either repair or restore it from a backup? the instructions on the mythtv wiki are not working for me. I'm on mythbuntu 9.10 | 01:33 |
| jcpunk | try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-backend mythtv-backend-master | 01:34 |
| bcgrown | jcpunk: will that repair the db or just wipe it out and redo it from scratch? | 01:36 |
| jcpunk | that will probably wipe it, but I suspect whatever broke your db is beyond my ability to fix (myth novice here) | 01:36 |
| jcpunk | a clean one /should/ be problem free | 01:36 |
| bcgrown | jcpunk: hrm. i'd rather not lose all my recordings & schedules | 01:37 |
| bcgrown | i have a mythconverg db backup i just dont know how to restore it | 01:37 |
| jcpunk | do you have the dump file? | 01:38 |
| jcpunk | if so can you run "file <>" where <> is the file name, on it fore me | 01:38 |
| bcgrown | what is the dump file? | 01:38 |
| jcpunk | whatever file mythconverg gave out | 01:39 |
| rhpot1991 | bcgrown: first try running this: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/maintenance/optimize_mythdb.pl | 01:42 |
| rhpot1991 | might fix your issues | 01:42 |
| rhpot1991 | you can also use phpmyadmin to poke around and see whats going on there, repair tables, etc | 01:42 |
| bcgrown | rhpot1991: that script just tells me "cannot connect to database" :( and i don't have phpmyadmin installed | 02:17 |
| bcgrown | unless it's there by default | 02:17 |
| Jester05 | mythtv is AMAZING lol | 02:18 |
| Jester05 | finally have my entire system working perfectly | 02:18 |
| romanyiv | At one time - on an earlier version of Myth - PIP gave me an option to have 2 identical size windows - which worked well on a wide screen HDTV. But I've not saw that for some time - may have been something the devs experimented with and removed. Anyone have any knowledge of how to enable that feature? | 02:39 |
| sark666 | i'm trying to post something on mythtv-users but getting 'cannot send to channel' since when is mythtv-users listen by default? | 03:02 |
| superm1 | sark666, you need to register with nickserv i believe | 03:05 |
| superm1 | sark666, /msg nickserv help | 03:05 |
| superm1 | and it will tell you more about how to register and identify | 03:05 |
| jerkface | hi, i just installed mythbuntu. what is the password for mysql? | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | jerkface: /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 05:14 |
| arriflex | iirc, there is no password for the root user, follow rhpot1991 for the mythtv user's | 05:18 |
| superm1 | root mysql user will be set to your user password initially | 05:35 |
| Lycan^ | can mythbuntu also run as a live cd? | 07:33 |
| === nhOmega is now known as ruskie | ||
| hipitihop | I know this is somewhat OT but is anyone familiar with the current Karmic bluetooth stack ? some guides suggest use of /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf but this now seems out of date | 12:38 |
| Daviey | superm1 is more familair with the KDE bluetooth stuff, right superm1 ? | 12:39 |
| hipitihop | Daviey, are you saying that different stacks are being used in Ubuntu ? | 12:42 |
| Daviey | hipitihop: no | 12:42 |
| Ratok | Hello everyone, I am still stuck with an mythmusic problem, playlist and file listing works fine, but i cannot start music, mythvideo in contrast works out of the box. | 17:51 |
| rhpot1991 | Ratok: check your logs? | 17:52 |
| Ratok | where can i find them | 17:53 |
| rhpot1991 | !log% | 17:53 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 17:53 |
| Ratok | i will report soon ;) | 17:56 |
| Ratok | hmm maybe thats the problem, i got a softlink to my data files | 18:03 |
| Ratok | /var/lib/mythtv/music -> /mnt/data/musik | 18:03 |
| rhpot1991 | check permissions | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | !blank% | 18:06 |
| Zinn | If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 18:06 |
| rhpot1991 | that should apply to music I think | 18:06 |
| Ratok | done, all fine | 18:06 |
| Ratok | music files are read correctly, i can see them in the playlist, but every button for play doesnt work | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | post logs | 18:07 |
| Ratok | just doesnt start to play, unlike the videos | 18:07 |
| Ratok | on my way ... | 18:07 |
| Ratok | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f53b0c08e | 18:14 |
| Zinn | [mythbuntu.pastebin.com] mythbuntu private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool | 18:14 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 18:16 |
| tgm4883 | TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate. | 18:16 |
| tgm4883 | Maybe that? | 18:16 |
| Ratok | are there some restrictions for mp3 files? | 18:19 |
| tgm4883 | punching that into google, it doesn't look like a mythtv specific error | 18:22 |
| tgm4883 | can you play the files outside of mythtv? | 18:22 |
| Ratok | no problems | 18:23 |
| Ratok | im trying with your permissions again | 18:25 |
| Ratok | maybe there is something wrong with it | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | run mythfrontend from the command line | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | then you can at least see the errors while the problem is occuring | 18:26 |
| mrand | Ratok: did it used to work (on 0.21 Myth, for example)? | 18:27 |
| Ratok | sry first time using it | 18:30 |
| Ratok | everything great uptil now | 18:30 |
| Ratok | ;) | 18:30 |
| Ratok | funny thing if i play and stop it tells me the remaining time | 18:32 |
| Ratok | 2010-02-02 19:32:05.756 Error opening audio device (Standard) | 18:33 |
| Ratok | eno: No such file or directory (2) | 18:33 |
| mrand | TagLib doesn't appear to be mythrelated... Are you using KDE? | 18:33 |
| Ratok | console messages | 18:34 |
| Ratok | at least one every second | 18:34 |
| mrand | Ok, taglib is something that myth plugs in while building, but it isn't source code controlled by the myth group. I wonder if we're using a recent version of taglib. | 18:43 |
| mrand | Ratok: the TagLib messages are caused by ID3 metadata that it doesn't recognize. You might see if you can make a backup of one .mp3 and then play with the tags somehow (I haven't done it in so long, I don't know what to suggest to use for that). | 18:43 |
| Ratok | 2010-02-02 19:42:05.634 AudioOutput Error: Error opening audio device (Standard), the error was: No such file or directory | 18:43 |
| Ratok | 2010-02-02 19:42:07.714 XMLParse: LoadTheme using '/usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/music-ui.xml' | 18:43 |
| Ratok | last error i got by trying to play a file | 18:44 |
| mrand | Looks like Ubuntu repo has taglib 1.6, which is about the newest there is. | 18:44 |
| Ratok | i do not understand the connection of No Such File Or Directory with Taglib ? | 18:44 |
| mrand | They are probably unrelated. that error is that it can't open your "sound device" to output anything to your speakers. Possibly a config issue on your system... maybe poke around in the MythMusic configuration? | 18:46 |
| mrand | bbl | 18:50 |
| Ratok | ah its working if i change the output | 18:52 |
| Ratok | you were right | 18:52 |
| Ratok | but mythvideo works fine | 18:52 |
| Ratok | can i copy the configs somehow | 18:52 |
| Ratok | because im using spdif output and now it doesnt play on it anymore | 18:52 |
| Ratok | it said it uses standard of mythtv | 18:59 |
| Ratok | this doesnt seem to work | 18:59 |
| Ratok | where can i find the config files? | 19:01 |
| Ratok | got it | 19:47 |
| Ratok | yeah: MythMusic should add the ALSA entries to the GUI config menu | 19:47 |
| Ratok | doing manual ALSA:spdif did it :-) | 19:48 |
| Ratok | ... happy listening to music | 19:48 |
| mrand | Ratok: good to know. Are you saying there are multiple entries to choose from in the MythMusic output device config, but ALSA isn't one of them? | 19:48 |
| Ratok | correct | 19:49 |
| Ratok | i got Standard, /dev/dsp, and /dev/adsp | 19:49 |
| Ratok | but unlike MythVideo i do not have the entries ALSA:* | 19:49 |
| Ratok | but MythBuntu rocks ^^ | 19:50 |
| Ratok | now for me too | 19:50 |
| mrand | Ratok: thanks for reporting back. I'll see what I can do about documenting that, and maybe seeing what we can do to fix it. | 19:52 |
| Ratok | you are welcome, thanks for the help again | 19:53 |
| mrand | Glad you got it running. We often don't know the direct answer, but sometimes the things we do know can eventually lead to the answer for users willing to keep pushing, as you did. Works out well most of the time :-) | 19:54 |
| Ratok | now im just waiting for my smart card to use dvb-c ;) | 19:54 |
| Ratok | then im totally happy | 19:54 |
| mrand | I don't know anything about that... other than some people have a challenge scanning channels. So my pre-advice is be patient and maybe read some of the upstream mythtv documentation on channel scanning (whatever there is). | 19:56 |
| Ratok | hehe scanning works fine ^^ | 19:56 |
| Ratok | but the decryption is not online | 19:57 |
| mrand | oh, awesome. | 19:57 |
| mrand | then you should be set! | 19:57 |
| Ratok | hope so | 19:57 |
| Ratok | just get that card in and go | 19:57 |
| jayman8547 | mythbackend.log is filled with "MainServer::ANN Monitor" and "adding: tzcheck as a client (events: 0)". I think it has to do with slave backends. Running 9.10 Mythbuntu 2.6.31-14 kernel. mythfrontend logs were not being created on any of my 3 FE and I foudnd a solution by enabling slave backends then disabling them, which is what I did. Any other questions on config I will be glad to answer. | 20:34 |
| jayman8547 | sorry keep getting bounced. Back for the night | 21:12 |
