[03:14] <hipitihop> according to this nuvexport article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346778, it is integrated since MyhtTV 0.21 but although I have 0.22 devvppa enabled, synaptic shows it as not installed and shows version 0.21
[03:14] <Zinn> [ubuntuforums.org] HOWTO: Auto transcode MYTHTV recorded shows to DVD, XVID or DIVX cutting out the co - Ubuntu Forums
[03:14] <hipitihop> Zinn, same article I think
[03:14] <Zinn> Hi hipitihop, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
[04:06] <ball> What kind disk arrangement do people generally use for a basic Mythbuntu box?  RAID 1?  RAID 0?
[04:09] <ball> RAID 1+0? :-)
[04:34] <tgm4883> ball, I don't use raid at all
[04:35] <rhpot1991> same here, I watch things as they record, so if I ever had a down time I'd only lose that weeks worth of recordings
[04:35] <tgm4883> exactly
[04:35] <ball> Hmm... I may buy an ATSC tuner then to get started.
[04:36] <tgm4883> I might eventually set up a no raid system for my movies, but right now even they are on a single drive
[04:37] <ball> I should probably buy a more powerful computer though.
[04:37] <ball> ...perhaps one with PCIe, so that I can buy that dual-tuner card.
[04:38] <tgm4883> ball, dual tuner card?
[04:39] <ball> tgm4883: yes.  Give me a minute or two and I'll find the model.
[04:40] <tgm4883> ball, I think a few people here would recommend the HDHomerun
[04:40] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, is that still the case ^
[04:40] <ball> tgm4883: How much is that thing?
[04:40]  * rhpot1991 wasn't paying attnetion
[04:41] <rhpot1991> ya I'd recommend a HDHR and if you need special cable channels a HDPVR
[04:41] <ball> Hauppauge 1213 is what I had in mind.
[04:41] <rhpot1991> 1212 == HDPVR
[04:41] <tgm4883> ah
[04:42] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, Hauppauge 1213 WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual Hybrid PCI-E TV Tuner Board
[04:42] <ball> I'm not fussed about cable channels.
[04:42] <tgm4883> I don't know what the support is like for that
[04:42] <rhpot1991> I'd go HDHR
[04:42] <ball> I plan to use this with an antenna.
[04:42] <rhpot1991> I think that card is one of the hybrids that only works in digital
[04:42] <rhpot1991> not certain
[04:42] <ball> rhpot1991: That's fine, everything's digital here now anyway.
[04:43] <rhpot1991> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-2250
[04:43] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HVR-2250 - MythTV
[04:43] <rhpot1991> IMO you should look at the HDHR though, better specs for close to the same price
[04:44] <ball> rhpot1991: Does it work well with Mythbuntu?
[04:44] <rhpot1991> plus its an ethernet tuner so you could say throw it up in your attic with an antenna
[04:44] <rhpot1991> ball: HDHR works very well, several of us developers use it
[04:44] <rhpot1991> plug it in and it just works
[04:48] <hipitihop> I have ttp://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/repos/ubuntu enabled and when I try and install libx264-dev I get "unmet dependencies:
[04:48] <hipitihop>   libx264-dev: Depends: libx264-67 (= 1:0.svn20090621+git364d7d-0ubuntu2) but 1:0.svn20090703-0.0ubuntu1~karmic~ppa1 is to be installed"
[04:49] <tgm4883> hipitihop, I don't think libx264-dev is in that repo
[04:49] <tgm4883> in fact, IIRC there is only one package in that PPA....mythbuntu-repos
[04:53] <ball> I wonder what kind of cpu I'll need
[04:59] <ball> Would a Core 2 Duo or Phenom II x2 be a sensible choice?
[05:03] <ball> Ah, looks like I'll want about 2.6 GHz or more
[05:03] <ball> Hmm...
[05:03] <ball> Does MythTV benefit from more cores where available?
[05:03] <ball> (e.g. a three or quad-core chip?)
[05:05] <tgm4883> ball, you could set it to commflag more
[05:06] <tgm4883> or use it for transcoding
[05:06] <ball> tgm4883: I don't know what that means.
[05:06] <ball> I know what transcoding is.
[05:06] <ball> ...don't know about commflag though
[05:06] <tgm4883> you know what commercial skipping is?
[05:06] <ball> Yes.
[05:06] <tgm4883> commflag is the job that finds where the commercials are
[05:06] <ball> I wonder how it knows.
[05:07] <tgm4883> there are things it tries to detect
[05:07] <tgm4883> it's pretty good, but not 100%
[05:10] <ball> What's in the HD Homerun?  Just a couple of TV tuners and a computer board of some sort?
[05:10] <tgm4883> something like that
[05:11] <ball> I'll price up a new computer tomorrow.
[05:12] <ball> Ah what the hell, I'll stay up and do it now.
[05:12] <Zinn> ball: Please watch your language.
[05:35] <ripperda> how does one go about debugging ota locking issues?
[05:36] <ripperda> when I had a single tuner, it worked fine. now that I've added a second, identical tuner, I run into lots of problems locking.
[05:36] <ripperda> I'm curious what steps there are to debugging this
[06:10] <hipitihop> tgm4883, sorry, stepped out back now...
[06:11] <hipitihop> tgm4883, I only guessed that was the ppa causing problems.. the only other is autobuilds, so perhaps that one
[06:11] <tgm4883> hipitihop, doubt it, i don't think we ship that package at all
[06:12] <hipitihop> tgm4883, hmm, so what is my error about above ?
[06:13] <tgm4883> what release are you on?
[06:13] <hipitihop> you mean myth ? 0.22 with autobuilds enabled
[06:14] <tgm4883> no
[06:14] <tgm4883> I don't mean myth
[06:14] <tgm4883> I mean ubuntu
[06:14] <tgm4883> 9.10?
[06:14] <hipitihop> ah sorry, yes karmic
[06:15] <tgm4883> looks like those are in universe
[06:15] <tgm4883> so your problem is somewhere there. Maybe you caught them in an upgrade?
[06:16] <tgm4883> oh you have other repos enabled with that package
[06:17] <tgm4883> heh
[06:17] <hipitihop> just checking which repos are enambled , I'm actually trying to follow this guide to build ffmpeg so tha tI can install nuvexport http://po-ru.com/diary/up-to-date-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-hardy/
[06:17] <Zinn> [po-ru.com] po-ru.com: Up-to-date ffmpeg on Ubuntu Hardy
[06:17] <tgm4883> did you enable nvidia-vdpau ppa?
[06:18] <hipitihop> tgm4883, yes I belive I did at some stage
[06:18] <tgm4883> yea I believe you did too
[06:18] <tgm4883> since thats the only place I can find that version of libx264-67
[06:18] <tgm4883> even lucid has the older version
[06:18] <hipitihop> standby, just have mcc up to go check repos etc
[06:19] <tgm4883> hmm
[06:20] <tgm4883> interesting that the nvidia-vdpau ppa says for mythtv users to use autobuilds
[06:21] <hipitihop> hm, possibly why at somepoint someone here recommended I enable those when I had other conflicts back then
[06:22] <tgm4883> is libx264-67 already installed?
[06:22] <tgm4883> I'd open up synaptic, see if you can force libx264-67 to the version that it wants, then try installing libx264-dev
[06:22] <hipitihop> sorry, lagging behind a little... fyi: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu is listed but not ticked in my sources so that's probably before I enabled autobuilds.
[06:23] <Zinn> [ppa.launchpad.net] Index of /nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu
[06:24] <hipitihop> yes, libx264-67 is installed
[06:25] <tgm4883> well either way, your issue isn't with autobuilds
[06:25] <tgm4883> hipitihop, well there is probably your problem
[06:25] <tgm4883> I bet the version you have installed is the new version, not the old version
[06:26] <tgm4883> hipitihop, what is the output of 'dpkg -l libx264-67'
[06:27] <hipitihop> 1:0.svn2009070
[06:28] <tgm4883> yep, and there is your problem
[06:28] <tgm4883> do you know how to fix that?
[06:30] <hipitihop> no not really as I'm not certain what brought it in and what the implications are ..as I mentioned earlier I'm trying to follow a guide to build latest ffmpeg for nuvexport
[06:31] <tgm4883> ok
[06:31] <tgm4883> do you care how it happened?
[06:31] <tgm4883> cause I can theorize for you if you want
[06:31] <tgm4883> otherwise, I will just tell you the solution
[06:32] <hipitihop> I don't particularly care how, and you are welcome to theorise :-) .. only that ocncerns me is that I get ffmpeg and eventauly nuvexport going but I break something else in mythtv
[06:32] <hipitihop> perhaps I should mention I also have asterisk running on this box :-)
 I'd open up synaptic, see if you can force libx264-67 to the version that it wants, then try installing libx264-dev
[06:33] <tgm4883> I don't think asterisk uses libx264
[06:33] <hipitihop> ok, there is only one other earlier there marked as karmic
[06:34] <hipitihop> ok, downgrading now
[06:38] <hipitihop> tgm4883, yup, downgrade and subsequent install of libx2640-dev now worked, well done
[06:38] <tgm4883> hipitihop, no problem. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses
[06:39] <hipitihop> :-) you also don't happen to be expert in nuvexport do you
[06:51] <tgm4883> hipitihop, nope
[06:51] <tgm4883> I would use mythexport anyway
[06:52] <hipitihop> tgm4883, hmm I'm open to whatever is easy and gets my desired result and the current route is failing
[06:56] <hipitihop> can you briefly explain why ? I don't have an opinion either way.. I would just like to automatically transcode my recordings so that my normal frontend playback stays as is without any loss of quality, but also be able to easily access transcoded copies in a format suitable for ipod/iphone or other pmp's
[06:57] <hipitihop> doesn't mythexport also need ffmpeg ?
[06:59] <hipitihop> tgm4883, instead of wasting your time here, do you have a link handy to a guide to get mythexport going on .22 and karmic
[07:01] <hipitihop> or is this it http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/MythExport
[07:05] <hipitihop> tgm4883, hmm more conflict.. if I try and install mythepxort I get Depends: libmyth-perl but it is not going to be installed. Brokenpackages
[07:43] <hipitihop> ok the problem is mythexport depends on libmyth-perl but conflict is libmythtv-perl is already installed.. ..if I try and install libmyth-perl it wants to remove libmythtv-perl mythtv-backend etc, what do I do ?
[07:44] <superm1> enable -testing
[07:44] <superm1> it's in mcc on the repos tab
[07:46] <hipitihop> won't allow me to activate it due to policy kit
[07:47] <hipitihop> superm1, does that mean I need to run mcc with sudo ? don't normally
[07:49] <superm1> hipitihop, how are you running it?
[07:49] <superm1> via ssh?
[07:49] <hipitihop> superml yes
[07:49] <superm1> you can't run MCC over SSH anymore
[07:50] <superm1> so you can instead run dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-repos
[07:50] <superm1> for command line enabling
[07:53] <hipitihop> superml that seems to be working... are you saying generaly I should run mcc over ssh  anymore ?
[07:55] <superm1> it generally wont work normally
[07:55] <superm1> things that need root that is
[07:55] <superm1> it might w/ sudo, but i wouldn't guarantee that
[08:08] <ripperda> superm1, is there a howto on debugging ota failure to lock issues?
[08:08] <ripperda> when I had a single tuner on my backend, it worked fine. but ever since adding a second, identical tuner, I'm getting a lot of lock failures
[08:08] <ripperda> I'm suspicious of degraded signal, but I'm curious if there's a way to prove/disprove that suspicion
[08:14] <hipitihop> ok, I have mythexport installed and can access via the broswer interafce .. have also added an on teh go job.. is there anywhere else I need to configure for this to run or how can I tell if the export job is running
[08:22] <hipitihop> neer mind, seem to have it running now
[08:48] <hipitihop> the default configuration for mythexport has /var/lib/mythtv but log is suggesting export does not have write permissions there
[14:56] <russell5> i keep getting these in my backend logs does nayone know anyting about the error   Preview Error: Run() file not local: '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1063_20100218110000.nuv.64'
[17:16] <Barty> Hi guys, since upgrading from my 8.10 to 9.04 (or 9.10) I can't watch live tv anymore without extreme stuttering. VLC plays /dev/videox fine
[17:16] <Barty> However, once i've tried to watch live tv using mythtv I can't use VLC to watch anymore, something about a prebuffer
[17:16] <Barty> Using a Hauppage PVR-500
[17:16] <Barty> Any ideas would be appreciated!
[22:03] <jolaren> Hey guys.. I can't see my Hauppage Wintv nova-t 500 remote in teh lirc list
[22:03] <jolaren> /proc/bus/input/devices
[22:03] <jolaren> It's not there
[22:50] <sceo> I just built a new box with new MythBuntu.  At first, it wouldn't find my video files, so I went into video manager, hit "M" and hit scan.  Now it has found some files, but it doesn't recurse into sub-folders.  How can I allow video manager to scan recursively?
[23:12] <sceo> nm, permissions problem.
