ourtv_what's the deal with the windows?  firefox doesn't have the max/min buttons and boxee has them  that some sort of bug?02:40

Seeker`I'm trying to run videos from a storage group using mplayer, is that possible at the moment? I'm using 0.2419:53
tgm4883Seeker`, no20:01
tgm4883Seeker`, external players aren't supported with storage groups20:01
tgm4883\20:01
anon_botSeems like this happens everytime I attempt it, but I just added the auto-builds package and enabled .23.1 so I could use the latest build of mythtv for windows.  I've had to install fresh copies of mythbuntu from disc the last couple times because of this.  But basically after I enable the auto-builds packages, do a reload, and update (specifically only the mythtv related packages this time), I reboot my box, and it starts running20:16
Seeker`tgm4883: that sucks. Only info I can really find on it says "It doesn't work in 0.22" and "It will be fixed in 0.23"20:18
Seeker`Now I can't watch videos :/20:19
tgm4883Seeker`, you could not use storage groups?20:19
tgm4883anon_bot, what starts running?20:20
tgm4883i'm confused20:20
Seeker`tgm4883: is there a way of converting back from using storage groups to not?20:20
anon_botstarts running?  Xorg Log is claiming it can't start my graphics adapter.20:20
anon_botI meant, X starts in low graphics mode, and wants me to troubleshoot the issue.  I assume it's falling back to vesa or something, but then I get a user login prompt20:21
tgm4883Seeker`, you just remove the videos on in mythtv-setup20:22
tgm4883anon_bot, there is nothing in auto-builds repo that would cause that20:22
tgm4883you are likely upgrading from other repos at the same time20:22
anon_botI specifically went in this time, and ONLY checked off mythtv components20:22
anon_botit must just be these shitty asus board I should of never bought  - M3N-HD20:23
tgm4883hmm20:23
anon_botIt has this onboard nvidia nforce 750a chipset20:23
anon_botwhich is supposed to be somethnig like a 8200/830020:24
anon_bothas caused me nothing but pain :)20:24
tgm4883anon_bot, what distro release?20:24
anon_botmythbuntu 10.0420:24
anon_botlooking at the kern log now20:24
anon_botSeeing NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed errors20:25
anon_botsays to use vmalloc=(size) to increase size.20:26
Seeker`tgm4883: so looking up an item that is in a storage group returns a mythtv://group@host/path/to/file, does the internal player resolve this to an actual filesystem name before it is able to start playing the file?20:34
tgm4883no20:34
tgm4883you have to get rid of the storage group and mount the drive over NFS or the like20:35
Seeker`tgm4883: how does the internal player know where to get the info from if it never sees the actual location of the file, only the mythtv:// url?20:36
Seeker`there must be a conversion between "somewhere in this storage group" and "this physical location on the disk" at some point?20:36
tgm4883no there never is, which is why external players can't play from storage groups20:37
tgm4883Seeker`, it's very similar to this20:37
tgm4883!iso20:37
ZinnStorage Groups are a streaming method of transmitting material to a frontend, meaning they don't provide block-level access to the file in question. An ISO is a disk image, and requires block-level access. Upstream has a plan to simulate a block device across the network using NBD for 0.24. Until then you can use the following workaround: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/720:37
tgm4883only you won't ever be able to use storage groups with external players20:38
Seeker`:/20:38
tgm4883upstream has said they aren't going to do that20:38
tgm4883so unless that changes20:38
Seeker`that seems like a hell of a regression20:39
ZinnSeeker`: Please watch your language.20:39
tgm4883Seeker`, it's not a regression at all20:40
Seeker`tgm4883: really? VIDEO_TS playback being broken in the current version for, what, over a year now? And removing the ability to use external players? not a regression?20:43
tgm4883Seeker`, I don't think you understand, let me try to explain20:44
tgm4883you have never  been able to use storage groups and external players (or storage groups and VIDEO_TS or ISO)20:45
tgm4883you have been able to use it with local mythvideo settings20:45
tgm4883You still can do it with local mythvideo settings20:45
tgm4883you just have to disable mythvideo storage groups (or rather, enable a secondardy local mythvideo setting)20:46
tgm4883so no, it isn't a regression. A regression would be something that has worked before that doesn't work now20:46
tgm4883which this isn't the case20:46
tgm4883what worked before still works now20:46
tgm4883the NEW feature of storage groups has never supported external players20:47
Seeker`bah, using the old version and it still doesn't work. Only seem to report the directory name containing the VIDEO_TS folder to mplayer, which basically then says "what am I meant to do with that"20:58
tgm4883Seeker`, are you using the same method in that link i posted?21:01
Seeker`tgm4883: I have a direcotry (/media/multim/videos) which contains two folders (DVD and TVSeries), the DVD directory contains sub-directories $FILM_NAME/VIDEO_TS. The Videos directory in settings is set to /media/multim/videos21:04
anon_botfull power cycle allowed my nvidia onboard to start properly.  woot.21:04
tgm4883Seeker`, do you still have a storage group set up for that directory?21:05
Seeker`tgm4883: no, in the mythtv-setup there are only 2 storage groups set up, recordings and posters21:05
anon_botI wonder if I should add pci=nomsi to my grub like I had to a few distro releases back.21:06
tgm4883Seeker`, and you mounted the share locally21:08
Seeker`tgm4883: it isn't a network share, its on a drive in the computer21:09
tgm4883ah ok21:10
anon_botIs menu.lst no longer in /boot/grub?21:10
=== mvetketel is now known as bogus-
tgm4883Seeker`, what does the frontend say in the logs when you try to play it?21:12
Seeker`I try to use mplayer to play the file, and it successfully calls mplayer, but the path passed to mplayer to play is (for example) /media/multim/videos/DVD/28_days_later21:13
anon_botnew version of grub? hmpt21:13
tgm4883anon_bot, grub221:14
tgm4883Seeker`, that is the correct path?21:14
anon_bottgm4883: where can I add "pci=msi" to grub2?21:14
Seeker`tgm4883: that is the correct path to the folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folder21:15
anon_bothmm, /etc/default/grub maybe under the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" maybe21:15
tgm4883Seeker`, so it's not passing the correct path then?  I've never used video_ts folders so I don't know what it's looking for21:16
tgm4883anon_bot, IDK21:16
Seeker`tgm4883: correct21:17
Seeker`bah, this is going to be easier to just set my backend reencoding all of the VIDEO_TS stuff to .mkvs or something21:18
tgm4883Seeker`, can you post your frontend logs when you try to play one21:19
Seeker`tgm4883: will have to see what I can dig out; my girlfriend is watching a film atm, will loose my head if i try and fiddle with stuff rightnow21:20
tgm4883ok21:20
Seeker`can't find anything, will have to wait for an hour to two21:23
anon_botcan I cause any harm by adding the default user (me) into the mythtv group?22:20
Seeker`wow, 118 films @ 2 hours a film is going to be a lot of encoding22:30
qwebirc6516Hi, I'm installing 10.10 and am having trouble getting xorg to load. At first it configured things for nvidia, but I'm using core i3 integrated graphics. I tried to change the name of the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to intel but that didn't help22:51
