| avihay | well, thanks to VLC I can now capture video again | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| avihay | now I'm wondering if I should install mythTV again. version .22 and me are old enemies now, only without the mutual respect | 00:28 |
| avihay | I have a number of satellite boxes with serial, and even posibly USB connections. will myth automagically be able to get the EPG and switch channles for me? do I just connect the cable and select it as remote? I'm used to working with a tuner so... | 00:31 |
| McNever | http://pastebin.com/p4DKsrHM | 00:45 |
| McNever | started having an issue with mythvideo | 00:45 |
| McNever | mythfrontend appears to lock up when i go into videos or video manager | 00:46 |
| McNever | last line in the frontend log looks like its scanning the '/' not sure if thats normal or its the issue... | 00:48 |
| McNever | but i've removed the package and reinstalled with no change | 00:48 |
| McNever | through the mythconfig and with apt-get... | 00:48 |
| McNever | any input would be great... thanks in advance | 00:48 |
| dewman | is there a list of fixes for the latest version of .22 trunk? (23766) | 01:41 |
| McNever | anybody have any input on the following | 04:01 |
| McNever | Mar 19 23:05:59 myth-frontend1 kernel: [ 4580.549296] mythfrontend.re[2044]: segfault at 25 ip 05945807 sp bfc4aa90 error 6 in libmythvideo.so[5894000+10b000] | 04:01 |
| McNever | mythvideo is hanging whenever i go to video manager | 04:01 |
| McNever | ok it looks like that error msg was from earlier when i removed the group on the BE | 04:21 |
| McNever | it looks like the last line in the frontend log is | 04:21 |
| McNever | ScanVideoDirectory Scanning (/) | 04:21 |
| McNever | which looks like its scanning the root for video?... i dont see that in other logs posted | 04:21 |
| McNever | and i'm pretty sure i dont have that configured anywhere... | 04:22 |
| dan1 | hey anyone installed mythbuntu on a headless box before? ubuntu server to be a little more precise | 15:06 |
| superm1 | dan1, should be doable, but you need X for mythtv-setup - so you'll probably need to X forward or run vnc | 15:07 |
| dan1 | yeah that's kinda my Q - i have installed mythbuntu-control-centre and ssh -X in. but when I run mythbuntu-control-centre I get "ImportError: No module named xorgconfig". Do you know what package I need? | 15:08 |
| superm1 | ooh sounds like we're missing a dependency eh? | 15:09 |
| superm1 | is python-xkit installed? | 15:09 |
| superm1 | and mythbuntu-common? | 15:09 |
| dan1 | just looking... | 15:09 |
| dan1 | gravelld@bordeaux:~$ sudo apt-get install python-xkit | 15:10 |
| dan1 | Reading package lists... Done | 15:10 |
| dan1 | Building dependency tree | 15:10 |
| dan1 | Reading state information... Done | 15:10 |
| dan1 | E: Couldn't find package python-xkit | 15:10 |
| dan1 | mythbuntu-common is there | 15:10 |
| dan1 | this is hardy heron btw | 15:20 |
| dan1 | don't know if python-xkit is in hardy | 15:20 |
| superm1 | hardy... | 15:31 |
| dan1 | eh huh | 15:31 |
| superm1 | things have changed significantly since then | 15:31 |
| dan1 | ok, would it be a LOT better to upgrade then? I say a LOT because there's a lot of other things running on this machine | 15:32 |
| dan1 | vmware for instance, which is a pain to upgrade | 15:32 |
| superm1 | you won't have "current" builds of mythtv available for hardy (we only do autobuilds of 0.23 for karmic and lucid) and autobuilds of 0.22 for interepid, jaunty, karmic | 15:32 |
| dan1 | yeah that's ok | 15:32 |
| superm1 | so what kind of frontend were you plannin on using? | 15:32 |
| dan1 | diskless, got an epia box under the tv that used to be a slave backend | 15:33 |
| superm1 | Ah. | 15:33 |
| superm1 | on hardy i think the package that provided that was guidance-backends | 15:34 |
| dan1 | remind me what version of myth is in the hardy build? | 15:34 |
| dan1 | ok thanks | 15:34 |
| superm1 | python-xkit was added during intrepid or so | 15:34 |
| superm1 | http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv | 15:34 |
| Zinn | [launchpad.net] “mythtv” package : Ubuntu | 15:34 |
| superm1 | you can see the ones on the archive for all versions of ubuntu there | 15:34 |
| dan1 | oh of course, thanks | 15:35 |
| superm1 | autobuilds aren't though | 15:35 |
| dan1 | ok will need to upgrade eventually again for vdpau but that's for the future | 15:35 |
| dan1 | and i suppose everyone upgrades eventually ;) | 15:36 |
| superm1 | well hopefully you can go right from hardy -> lucid | 15:37 |
| dan1 | wahey - guidance-backends worked | 15:37 |
| dan1 | now i just need to blast a few holes in some walls to run the cables | 15:38 |
| McNever | hey guys... i'm having some problems with mythvideo... it looks like when i open video manager its scanning '/' in addition to the video group and the dir i have configured in the setup | 15:40 |
| McNever | mythfrontend freezes and i have to kill the process and restart it | 15:41 |
| superm1 | McNever, you're on 0.23? | 15:41 |
| McNever | .22 | 15:41 |
| superm1 | k.. so you sure you don't have extra video groups set in the backend you forgot about? | 15:42 |
| superm1 | and what group did you set in the frontend ? | 15:42 |
| superm1 | note: you dont need both generally, one or the other is usually fine | 15:42 |
| McNever | actually i'd be perfectly happy turning the group off... didnt even know it was on until i looked at the log... but i didnt see anywhere in the frontend to turn it off | 15:43 |
| McNever | and googling it didnt produce what i expected | 15:43 |
| superm1 | in the frontend just go set the box to an empty value | 15:44 |
| superm1 | and use the backend one | 15:44 |
| superm1 | that one's more intelligent anyway | 15:44 |
| McNever | yeah its stops scanning that location... but it scans the group and '/' | 15:45 |
| McNever | i just went and checked again... i only have one video storage group configured | 15:47 |
| McNever | this is the last line in frontend log | 15:47 |
| McNever | MythVideo::ScanVideoDirectory Scanning (/) | 15:48 |
| superm1 | i'm really at a loss then, i've never heard of that happening before | 15:48 |
| superm1 | you might consider asking in #mythtv-users if no one in here perks up with ideas | 15:48 |
| McNever | yeah... its a pretty fresh install... thinking about just killen it and reinstalling | 15:49 |
| McNever | i hope at least that its something with the frontend... i assume since its scanning a local dir its not coming from the backend | 15:51 |
| superm1 | you might be able to get away with setting a new hostname (or at least local hostname) for new settings if they are separate boxes and that's true | 15:52 |
| superm1 | otherwise a reinstall with the same hostname might bring it back | 15:52 |
| superm1 | since those settings are stored in the SQL db on the backend | 15:52 |
| McNever | really... that exaplains a lot actually... | 15:53 |
| McNever | so if reinstalled and used the same hostname the backend pushes some config down to it? | 15:54 |
| superm1 | Yup | 15:54 |
| McNever | nice... | 15:56 |
| McNever | thanks superm1 | 15:56 |
| mrand | dan1: I basically run headless, but with NX rather than SSH + X. | 16:00 |
| mrand | And not on hardy ;-) | 16:00 |
| McNever | removed mythvideo and mythfrontend | 16:11 |
| McNever | changed hostname | 16:11 |
| McNever | reinstalled mythfrontend and mythvideo | 16:11 |
| McNever | seems to works fine now | 16:12 |
| superm1 | changing the hostname is probably all you needed to do.. | 16:28 |
| superm1 | but at least you got it working :) | 16:28 |
| dewman | hey everyone..... my cable company does something rather weird, they actually broadcast on all three qams...Has anyone heard of this? I am having a heck of a time getting the channels to line up correctly because of this. | 16:40 |
| mrand | I've never heard of the term "all three qams"... what does that mean? | 16:41 |
| dewman | qam64 qam128 and qam256 | 16:41 |
| dewman | mrand, does that make sense? | 16:42 |
| mrand | yes. sorry, I'd forgotten that. | 16:42 |
| dewman | i'm just not sure if its easier to try to piece together a channels.conf file and import it or try to scan all three qams and then try to remapp everything. I have been fighting with this for weeks. | 16:45 |
| mrand | dewman: attendance on this channel is light... you'd get more responses from the mythbuntu forums, #mythtv-users, or the mythtv mailing list. | 16:46 |
| dewman | yeah, I figured that. the devs in mythtv-users can be a little sarcastic at times....but i will ask over there... | 16:47 |
| mrand | dewman: yeah, I understand. | 16:48 |
| dewman | mrand, thanks... =) | 16:49 |
| realubot | I have problem getting a streamin using MythTV frontend to work without lagging. I've got a 2 Mbit/s broadband connection. What may be the problem? | 20:56 |
| tgm4883 | realubot, what are you using for streaming? | 20:56 |
| realubot | It also takes a long time to startup the frontend and it's taking some time getting into the media library and the playback settings. | 20:56 |
| realubot | tgm4883: Why not? | 20:57 |
| tgm4883 | ? | 20:57 |
| tgm4883 | why not what? | 20:57 |
| realubot | tgm4883: I want to watch TV using my desktop computer and MythTV as frontend at my laptop. What's the problem? | 20:57 |
| tgm4883 | What kind of network connection? | 20:58 |
| realubot | tgm4883: Sorry, I didn't read your question carefully. | 20:58 |
| realubot | tgm4883: I try to stream using the Internet. | 20:58 |
| tgm4883 | your internet connection isn't fast enough | 20:59 |
| realubot | tgm4883: Ok, is it possible to somehow buffer video so that I can watch after a while. I mean, I almost can watch TV, it's just lagging like for a second at some times. | 21:00 |
| realubot | tgm4883: Maybe it will be fast enough using some kind of buffer functionaity. | 21:00 |
| tgm4883 | not with the frontend. You could activate flash streaming through mythweb, but it's experimental | 21:00 |
| superm1 | i dont think it's currently designed to work well over a non-LAN connection | 21:01 |
| realubot | tgm4883: Well, I try to watch recorded playsings. Isn't they either possible to buffer? | 21:01 |
| realubot | superm1: I know, but it would be great if it would work that way. | 21:01 |
| superm1 | realubot, i suspect it will require a bit of a dedicated effort to identify particular bottlenecks in the protocol and buffering requirements then | 21:02 |
| superm1 | which probably isn't in the priorities of the development team. i'm sure if you'd like to help analyze it and improve it, they'd be willing to accept patches though | 21:02 |
| realubot | superm1: Well, I don't have time or knowledge of doinf that unfortunately. | 21:03 |
| realubot | *doing | 21:03 |
