dkeith__Good day folks02:01
dkeith__I have a mythbuntu backend that has started misbehaving recently, the backend app dieing frequently and sporadically.02:01
dkeith__I just took a look at the backend logs and noticed repeated blocks of errors indicating duplicate database errors02:02
dkeith__looks something like this (sorry for the length)02:03
dkeith__--02:03
dkeith__2010-02-01 10:00:40.611 DB Error (change_program):02:03
dkeith__Query was:02:03

dkeith__Database error was:02:03
dkeith__Duplicate entry '5381-2010-02-01 12:30:14-0' for key 102:03
dkeith__--02:03
dkeith__any chance this rings a bell?02:03
dkeith__version is mythbuntu 8.x with comcast tuner via firewaire and hd homerun listeing over the air.  Problems seem to happen while recording, though I have not been able to verify02:05
mranddkeith__: Sorry, no firm leads.  Might first try cleaning database.  You might also check out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding (even though you aren't upgrading, that article seems to imply to me there might be remote situations where daily operations could be affected)02:44
mranddkeith__: BTW, as suggested in the /topic, you can use pastebin for logs.02:44
Zinn[www.mythtv.org] Fixing Corrupt Database Encoding - MythTV02:44
tgm4883i'd also note that in 9.10, the backend should get autorestarted if it dies by upstart02:45
dkeith__thanks.  to clarify - "cleaning the database" means folowing the instructions at that "Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding"?02:52
dkeith__sorry bout the paste - the pastebin info scrolled off the screen.02:52
dkeith__I am intending to upgrade "real soon now".  But I am on the road for the next 4-5 weeks and hope t just stabilize it for now.  Que sera02:53
ahhughesif I want to add some music to my library where the hell do I copy it too?03:23
Zinnahhughes: Please watch your language.03:23
ahhugheswow, that's harsh.03:24
dkeith__harsh, but fair.  The manual has instructions for doing this.  IIRC, you can declare where you music is and have it scan that directory.  I am using 8.x, which has a pretty limited music UI (IMHO), and since my FE's are runnign on MACos, just loaded up the myth from the same share full of mp3's that itunes uses03:30

jarrod1is freenode still having troubles because of this firefox attack?13:38
dlongI am running 9.04 still due to the lack of support of the PVR 150 and recently upgraded mythtv to 0.22 using the daily builds repo.  That process is working well, with the exception of using new themes such as the new mythbuntu theme or the graphite theme.  Are these themes broken?17:07
rhpot1991dlong: how is the 150 broken?17:08
dlongrhpot1991: PVR-150 Blaster does not currently work17:09

rhpot1991ah blasting, nevermind :)17:13
dlongSo if I look at the logs (/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log), I see a lot of "Font needs a face" messages17:14
dlongIn order to get any functionality of the frontend back I have to change the theme inside the database17:15
dlongblootube-wide works17:15
rhpot1991dlong: did you update all the themes?17:20
rhpot1991if you run a pre .22 theme on .22 things wont be happy17:20

* Rob_Z grumbles21:48
tgm4883there is an issue with PVR 150's and IR Receiving?22:20
tgm4883I thought it was just with blasting22:20
mrand1600 may still be broke.  Not sure of PVR-150 problems other than analog scanning.  http://old.nabble.com/Haupauge-Cards-on-Ubuntu-9.10-td26009614.html22:48

zepheadhello.  I just purchased a USB-UIRT for channel changing my comcast DCT2224 box.  I'm able to successfully change channels with the "irsend --device /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE DCT2000 6 1 OK" command (example = channel 61) but cannot get this to work in a script.  Does anybody have any suggestions?23:23
zepheadI did have to modify /etc/init.d/lirc as documented here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=2620631671517159eb08ce9841966b8a&p=8557053&postcount=1223:24
Zinn[ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Serial IR Blaster - IRSEND hardware does not support sending23:24
mrandzephead: I have a very similar cable box.... 2222 maybe.  I think it has the same interface.  I can't look at how my myth application is set up right now, but will be able to this evening if you wanna stick around or come back.  Note that while I have used IR blasting in the past, I use serial port right now.  Slightly faster and more reliable.23:36
zepheadmrand: I wish my new board came w/ the serial pin header(s)! :)  I think my lack of scripting is the root cause here, I figure since irsend works from the commandline, I just need some help creating a script...  I wonder if the modification I had to make to get the blaster portion to work is causing grief since i have to use the "--device /dev/lircd1" flag?23:39
zepheadmrand: I'll stick around and I greatly appreciate any help you may be able to provide.  Thanks!23:40
mrandAre you using a pre-canned script?23:41
zepheadI've tried and failed ;(  I did just run across this though : http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/IR-BLASTER-HOWTO.html - and I'm modifying accordingly (REMOTE_NAME=JVC_RAW changed to REMOTE_NAME=DCT2000).  The good thing is my /usr/share/lirc/extras/transmitters/motorola/dctxxxx.conf file is good23:43

zepheadpardon my ignorance, how is this command called from the commandline (rather than specifying in mythtv-setup)? :)23:44
zepheadok - thanks!23:44
mrandchannel_change.sh <channel number>   I believe.23:45
zephead:) I'll give it a stab.  Thanks for you help!23:45
