| benomatic | tricky question. I have a backup (mysql db + original files) of my mythbuntu-9.04 (myth 0.21) db. since then i have a clean mythbuntu-9.10 machine running 0.22, setup from scratch. can i somehow merge all my old stuff from the 0.21 installation? | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| benomatic | i assume the hardest part is any sql schema changes, but i have just started looking. | 00:34 |
| benomatic | second question: mythfilldatabase doesn't seem to be auto-running in my new installation; where is this configured so that i can set it up properly? | 00:35 |
| superm1 | benomatic, mythbuntu.org/upgrading explains how to load the new stuff in | 00:36 |
| superm1 | benomatic, the schema updates happen automatically next time you start the backend | 00:37 |
| benomatic | superm1: i figured that the in-place schema changes "just work", but i wonder how to apply the schema update process to my backed-up db, so that i can merge it into existing one | 00:38 |
| superm1 | benomatic, merging is asking for trouble | 00:38 |
| superm1 | you are better off dropping the new db | 00:38 |
| superm1 | and inserting your old onw | 00:38 |
| superm1 | and letting schema updates happen on their own | 00:39 |
| benomatic | urg. perhaps i will do a backup of current, try to upgrade old, then backup, so they're at least both in same schema. then i could play the merge game :) | 00:42 |
| superm1 | trust me, you really dont want to play the merge game | 00:42 |
| superm1 | the schema update works on it's own from 0.21->0.22 schema updates | 00:43 |
| benomatic | why do you say that? have you tried? | 00:43 |
| superm1 | unless you have very particular tools for comparing the differences and feel like reading code, it's gonna be a waste of your time | 00:44 |
| benomatic | (perhaps foolishly i'm not too afraid of sql, having done lots of it elsewhere) | 00:44 |
| benomatic | hrm | 00:44 |
| superm1 | it's not gonna buy you any benefit since the schema updates are otherwise automatic | 00:44 |
| benomatic | perhaps i was a bit unclear -- i have shows in both dbs that i'd like to keep. i don't want to manually update the schema... just keep all my shows :) | 00:45 |
| superm1 | ah that wasn't clear at all | 00:49 |
| superm1 | then you should just backup the table containing all those shows you want to keep and write off the rest of the data from one of the installs | 00:49 |
| superm1 | merging in one table is doable | 00:49 |
| benomatic | excellent. | 00:51 |
| benomatic | i will start the backup current, restore old, backup old process now and see how that goes :) | 00:51 |
| benomatic | superm1: so... is there anything to do other than merge in the 'recorded' table? | 01:44 |
| benomatic | i think i've got everything setup :) | 01:44 |
| superm1 | that's all you should need, but you might want the oldrecorded too | 01:45 |
| benomatic | gracias :) | 01:46 |
| benomatic | superm1: i have them all! thanks :) | 02:05 |
| superm1 | great! | 02:08 |
| pteague | now i see what my problem is... the upgrade process changed uid & gids in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, & /etc/shadow & now that they don't match across boxes mythtv (or perhaps the upgrade process while the nfs directories are mounted) sets permissions to the local boxes mythtv:mythtv which changes what's on the backend | 02:50 |
| bonelifer | Can anyone suggest a USB wireless G dongle that just works on a plain install of MythBuntu? | 03:20 |
| === jst is now known as jst_ | ||
| jst_ | Anyone here using Comcast or FiOS? I know they have some, uhm, idiosyncrasies. I'm just curious as to what your solutions are... HD-PVR, Firewire capture, etc. | 05:29 |
| rhpot1991 | jst_: I use comcast, whats up? | 06:17 |
| jst_ | Do you use DTA converters or HDPVR or what? | 06:18 |
| rhpot1991 | my hardware is listed here: http://mythbuntu.org/developer-hardware | 06:18 |
| jst_ | Sweet... What do you mean by "Tuners 7-8: Daisy Chained Firewire Controlled Motorolla DCH3200?" | 06:20 |
| jst_ | Is that what connects to your HD-PVR? | 06:21 |
| rhpot1991 | well one of them is hooked up to the HD-PVR | 06:21 |
| rhpot1991 | but they are both hooked up as firewire devices, so I can record off both of them | 06:21 |
| rhpot1991 | daisy-chained is one wire into one, then another wire from stb 1 to stb 2 | 06:22 |
| jst_ | Ahh, so you're recording non-5C stuff with them? | 06:22 |
| jst_ | STB -> 1394 -> MythBox? | 06:22 |
| rhpot1991 | I used to, before I got my HDPVR | 06:22 |
| rhpot1991 | now I don't really need to, but they are still there for conflicts and such | 06:23 |
| jst_ | Wait, can you use one HDPVR with two STBs? | 06:23 |
| jst_ | I'm confused. | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | no | 06:23 |
| jst_ | heh | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | 2 stbs | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | both connected by firewire | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | one of them also connected to a hdpvr | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | my main tuners are my HDHR and HDPVR | 06:23 |
| rhpot1991 | the others don't get used so much anymore | 06:23 |
| jst_ | Ahh, I see. | 06:24 |
| jst_ | I was mistaken about how the HDPVR works, but that makes sense. | 06:24 |
| rhpot1991 | I use the firewire connection to tune the stb for the hdpvr as well | 06:24 |
| jst_ | http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/15-116-030-S04?$S640W$ | 06:26 |
| Zinn | [images17.newegg.com] | 06:26 |
| jst_ | I'm not seeing a Firewire port on there... Can you use USB to tune? | 06:26 |
| jst_ | Oh wait, USB sends the stream to your 'puter. | 06:26 |
| rhpot1991 | ya usb to your computer, firewire from your computer to the stb | 06:28 |
| rhpot1991 | jst_: heading to bed, if you have any other questions feel free to ask, someone else may help, or you can ping me tomorrow | 06:41 |
| jst_ | Ok, thanks for your help. | 06:41 |
| jst_ | I accidentally marked something as "never record," and it's not showing up under Recording Rules... Is there any way to remove "never record" rules? | 08:22 |
| Geoff918 | I'm getting an "Irrecoverable Player Error" on Mythbuntu. I can't find any information about this via Google, MythTV forums, or Mythbuntu forums. Anybody familiar? | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991 | Geoff918: check your logs? | 20:53 |
| Geoff918 | Yes, I can pastebin something if you'd like | 20:54 |

| mrand | Geoff918: upstream has shifted most of their focus to 0.23. If you aren't already on auto-builds for 0.22, you might try that. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll need to try 0.23 (which is also available via auto-builds, but back up your database first!) before filing a bug report. capturing a -v playback might yield more info as well. Looks like the error in the log is: | 21:55 |
| mrand | 2010-03-04 15:11:52.947 NVP(1), Error: Unknown recorder error, exiting decoder | 21:55 |
| mrand | Just a fly by comment. bbl | 21:55 |
| mrand | (btw, 0.23 hasn't been released yet... that's still a few weeks out probably) | 21:56 |
