[02:40] what's the deal with the windows? firefox doesn't have the max/min buttons and boxee has them that some sort of bug? [17:58] 10.10 rc - i386 Build - Desktop Disk Torrent - fails to download with Transmission - Error: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker. [17:58] any one half alternate torrent link? [19:53] I'm trying to run videos from a storage group using mplayer, is that possible at the moment? I'm using 0.24 [20:01] Seeker`, no [20:01] Seeker`, external players aren't supported with storage groups [20:01] \ [20:16] Seems 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 running [20:18] 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" [20:19] Now I can't watch videos :/ [20:19] Seeker`, you could not use storage groups? [20:20] anon_bot, what starts running? [20:20] i'm confused [20:20] tgm4883: is there a way of converting back from using storage groups to not? [20:20] starts running? Xorg Log is claiming it can't start my graphics adapter. [20:21] I 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 prompt [20:22] Seeker`, you just remove the videos on in mythtv-setup [20:22] anon_bot, there is nothing in auto-builds repo that would cause that [20:22] you are likely upgrading from other repos at the same time [20:22] I specifically went in this time, and ONLY checked off mythtv components [20:23] it must just be these shitty asus board I should of never bought - M3N-HD [20:23] hmm [20:23] It has this onboard nvidia nforce 750a chipset [20:24] which is supposed to be somethnig like a 8200/8300 [20:24] has caused me nothing but pain :) [20:24] anon_bot, what distro release? [20:24] mythbuntu 10.04 [20:24] looking at the kern log now [20:25] Seeing NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed errors [20:26] says to use vmalloc=(size) to increase size. [20:34] 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] no [20:35] you have to get rid of the storage group and mount the drive over NFS or the like [20:36] 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] there must be a conversion between "somewhere in this storage group" and "this physical location on the disk" at some point? [20:37] no there never is, which is why external players can't play from storage groups [20:37] Seeker`, it's very similar to this [20:37] !iso [20:37] Storage 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/7 [20:38] only you won't ever be able to use storage groups with external players [20:38] :/ [20:38] upstream has said they aren't going to do that [20:38] so unless that changes [20:39] that seems like a hell of a regression [20:39] Seeker`: Please watch your language. [20:40] Seeker`, it's not a regression at all [20:43] 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? [20:44] Seeker`, I don't think you understand, let me try to explain [20:45] you have never been able to use storage groups and external players (or storage groups and VIDEO_TS or ISO) [20:45] you have been able to use it with local mythvideo settings [20:45] You still can do it with local mythvideo settings [20:46] you just have to disable mythvideo storage groups (or rather, enable a secondardy local mythvideo setting) [20:46] so no, it isn't a regression. A regression would be something that has worked before that doesn't work now [20:46] which this isn't the case [20:46] what worked before still works now [20:47] the NEW feature of storage groups has never supported external players [20:58] 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" [21:01] Seeker`, are you using the same method in that link i posted? [21:04] 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/videos [21:04] full power cycle allowed my nvidia onboard to start properly. woot. [21:05] Seeker`, do you still have a storage group set up for that directory? [21:05] tgm4883: no, in the mythtv-setup there are only 2 storage groups set up, recordings and posters [21:06] I wonder if I should add pci=nomsi to my grub like I had to a few distro releases back. [21:08] Seeker`, and you mounted the share locally [21:09] tgm4883: it isn't a network share, its on a drive in the computer [21:10] ah ok [21:10] Is menu.lst no longer in /boot/grub? === mvetketel is now known as bogus- [21:12] Seeker`, what does the frontend say in the logs when you try to play it? [21:13] 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_later [21:13] new version of grub? hmpt [21:14] anon_bot, grub2 [21:14] Seeker`, that is the correct path? [21:14] tgm4883: where can I add "pci=msi" to grub2? [21:15] tgm4883: that is the correct path to the folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folder [21:15] hmm, /etc/default/grub maybe under the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" maybe [21:16] Seeker`, 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 for [21:16] anon_bot, IDK [21:17] tgm4883: correct [21:18] bah, this is going to be easier to just set my backend reencoding all of the VIDEO_TS stuff to .mkvs or something [21:19] Seeker`, can you post your frontend logs when you try to play one [21:20] 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 rightnow [21:20] ok [21:23] can't find anything, will have to wait for an hour to two [22:20] can I cause any harm by adding the default user (me) into the mythtv group? [22:30] wow, 118 films @ 2 hours a film is going to be a lot of encoding [22:51] Hi, 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 help === superm1 changed the topic of #ubuntu-mythtv to: Mythbuntu 10.10 released :: Please visit www.mythbuntu.org for more information :: Paste logs @ http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com ** Please stick around for people to answer your question ** === ohadlevy_ is now known as ohadlevy
