IluvatarOK. I was persuaded to install Mythbuntu 10.10 on my older machine (which was running D1's MythTV).13:05
IluvatarIt appeared to install OK (albeit without any fancy peripherals. ).13:05
IluvatarWhen I rebooted the machine, all I got was "mythbuntu" on a black screen with 5 red dots underneath.13:05
Iluvatar(Except... I did ask it to install TV out. That seemed strange because I wasn't asked to nominate a tuner card).13:05
IluvatarThe machine boots and runs the frontend from the CD nicely. After that - no joy.13:05
IluvatarWhat do I do now? Do I:13:05
Iluvatar1] Give up.13:05
Iluvatar2] Download an older distro of Mythbuntu, and try that?13:05
IluvatarThe doco is of no help.13:05
IluvatarCan anyone help here?  Thanks in advance for any encouraging advice :)13:05

Guest2601Hi everybody...15:30
Guest2601is there an expert for mythtv backend setup with dvb-s in Germany? I found some howtos, but still the problem occurs "unable to locate channels" when setting up channels.... tried also to import channels.conf... same result... tried a TT-PCI DVBS 1.5 and a technisat Skystar 2.... with both I can tune and manually create a channels.conf, but the backend setup refuses to take it15:33
Guest2601same result with current mythbuntu and the previous15:34
mrandGuest2601: for scanning problems, we refer people to #mythtv-users15:42
Guest2601ok, thanks15:45
luckyone_quick question - does anyone know if mythbuntu 10.10 has support for the HVR-2250 or do you still have to manually compile the driver for the SAA7164 from kernel labs?20:06
rhpot1991luckyone_: I believe it should work, check with google or the forums for sure though20:10
drifting-on-a-drNeed help Mythbackend tuners unavailable, 8.04 Ubuntu .21Myth20:22
tgm4883upgrade?20:22
tgm4883or rather20:22
tgm4883restart your backend?20:22
rhpot1991also upgrade :)20:24
drifting-on-a-drLong story, was upgrade, problems with tuners so I restored. Knew something was amiss, so deleted tuners on original working system. Two Nova-S, 1 Nova-T 500 both can scan and detect channels. However from information no tuners, or live tv20:24
rhpot1991someone was having issues a few days back with playback eating more CPU than normal, whoever you are are you around still?20:24
tgm4883drifting-on-a-dr, did you go through all the steps in mythtv-setup?20:25
drifting-on-a-drtgm, yes I did20:25
tgm4883rhpot1991, you don't like to be vague do you?20:25
rhpot1991tgm4883: thats about all they said, so I can't be any more specific than that20:25
rhpot1991figuring it may be similar to the issue I fixed on my box over the weekend so if they respond I can check that20:25
drifting-on-a-drtgm - did have problems with tuner numbering, tried usual delete all, in the end I zero the db numbering from post I saw, tuners now numbered right20:27
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: try to optimize/repair/etc your DB20:30
drifting-on-a-drShall try it right now.20:31
SpaceBasshey folks20:34
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: easiest place is in mythweb if you have it enabled20:35
SpaceBassanyone useing Mythexport to convert HD recordings? I'm getting no audio on my converted files20:35
tgm4883rhpot1991, ^20:35
rhpot1991settings > database20:35
rhpot1991SpaceBass: what version?20:35
SpaceBassubuntu 10.10 (was 10.4 same issue) mythexport - latest20:36
rhpot1991SpaceBass: assuming you reconfigured after the upgrade (or if you got the latest from a ppa before time)?20:37
SpaceBassrhpot1991, I get audio in VLC, but not quicktime - goal is to transcode for iPad (iTunes)20:37
rhpot1991SpaceBass: dpkg -l |grep mythexport20:37
SpaceBassrhpot1991, 2.2.2-0ubuntu120:37
rhpot1991ok good20:38

SpaceBassrhpot1991, in fairness my myth install has been wonky for quite a while - howver I think this is an ffmpeg setting20:39
rhpot1991try to modify your config and add "-ar 44100"20:40
SpaceBassK - is that audio sample rate? Trying to learn too :D20:40
rhpot1991I'm not sure it will help, but I've had others tell me they had to add it20:41
rhpot1991for them it didn't run without it though20:41
rhpot1991I think, looking for the other email20:41
drifting-on-a-drDB repaired and optimized, do I clear config of tuners and start again ?20:41
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: restart the backend and see if they show up20:42
rhpot1991sudo restart mythtv-backend20:42
SpaceBasswhile I'm thinking about Mythexport - does it have to run on the local machine? or could it run on another box?20:42
rhpot1991SpaceBass: in theory it can run on another box, you need a valid config.xml in place20:43
rhpot1991it depends on the backend too though, so it will try to install the backend if it isn't there20:44
rhpot1991SpaceBass: you would need to setup shares so the file paths looked the same20:44
rhpot1991so yes, but carefully20:44
SpaceBassrhpot1991, thanks, i'll solve one problem at a time20:44
SpaceBassbut might eventually want to offload that processing20:44
rhpot1991SpaceBass: try with more than one recording to make sure that its not an issue with that recording too20:44
SpaceBassrhpot1991, the no audio problem exists with all of my HD recordings20:45
SpaceBasswhich is in turn all of my recordings20:45
rhpot1991SpaceBass: I could make a package that didn't require the backend and help you figure out what needs to go where20:45
rhpot1991SpaceBass: you enabled medibuntu right?20:45
SpaceBassrhpot1991, yes and re-enabled after the upgrade20:45
rhpot1991thats weird, if vlc sees it then there is sound there20:46
drifting-on-a-drChecked log on front end, says not capture cards defined? but there is! and  I scanned channels on thm?20:46
SpaceBassrhpot1991, yeah, makes me think it is something outside of apple's spec - going to try -ar 44100 now20:47
SpaceBasshave also just noticed the new portable h264 presets which may be a good building block20:47
rhpot1991SpaceBass: you should have been prompted to reconfigure when you upgraded, it shouldn't have worked if you didn't20:48
rhpot1991and those presets should work well with any apple or android product20:49
rhpot1991lets see if I have any test files around still20:49
SpaceBasssorry - by reconfigure I mean re-added the repos20:50
tgm4883drifting-on-a-dr, backend logs?20:56
drifting-on-a-drJust reading up on how to turn logging back on :-) Will report back soon21:04
drifting-on-a-drThis is going to sound really nieve, but how do I turn backend logging on? I have zer0 length file that is 3 years old!   Installed: 0.21.0+fixes21768-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu121:14
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: it should just work21:18
rhpot1991should be in /var/log/mythtv/mythtvbackend or so21:18
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: are you sure the backend is actually running, sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status21:19
mrandalso, check permissions and ownership on that file and directory.21:19
drifting-on-a-drYes, backend is running, can watch recorded show from frontends21:20
drifting-on-a-drsyslog r/w adm r/w other r/w folder mythtv owns21:22
drifting-on-a-drpaul@vs:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status21:34
drifting-on-a-dr * mythbackend is running21:34
mrandwell, absent all other explainations, the most simple/straight-forward should apply: double check that it is started with arguments to log to that file.21:56
drifting-on-a-drI have logging now, not quite sure why but restarted whole server, no errors seen, backend is running, play recorded from front ends, but info in frontends still so tuner unavailable, log says nothing about tuners21:59
rhpot1991smells like the tuners are busy or not setup correctly22:02
drifting-on-a-drAs I said this was all working fine, however the tuner numbering has been to pot for ages, incrementing up with each config, after failed update to 10.4 (no tuners) I restored from backup. Decided to see if I could reset again with old install so that I could upgrade. Tuners are there, I can scan channels, I can edit the channels it scans.22:05
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: you can normally fix that by hand but have to be careful22:11
rhpot1991I wonder if you broke something when you deleted them all and tried to get them back to 022:11
rhpot1991may have an id missmatch on the tables now22:11
drifting-on-a-drI did follow info on Ubuntu docs to zero tuners, numbering now right, tuners are 1 - 8 but no live tv  since22:12
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: nothing in the logs when you try to start livetv? (backend logs)22:13
drifting-on-a-drNo nothing22:13
TuxBenderwho does have a little bit of time get lirc running after update from mythbuntu 04.10 to 1022:13
rhpot1991TuxBender: depends on your device22:14
TuxBenderhauppauge tv card22:15
TuxBenderin 04.10 I had no problem. after update. no output from irw22:15
* rhpot1991 finds a bug for you22:16
drifting-on-a-drAssume I may have to increase logging? but was considering yet another clean out of tuners, not sure what else to do22:16
rhpot1991TuxBender: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/65849622:17
Zinn[bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #658496 in Mythbuntu: “Hauppauge remote not working on upgrade to Maverick Meerkat”22:17
rhpot1991see if that helps22:17
rhpot1991TuxBender: also make sure that you don't have lirc-modules-source installed22:17
drifting-on-a-drI am not skilled enough to know how to repair the DB if it is corrupt. Oh well I better start packing my bags, the GF will murder me22:19
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: how did you 0 the tuners?22:19
TuxBenderargh. shit!22:19
ZinnTuxBender: Please watch your language.22:19
TuxBenderi hav not installed it22:19
rhpot1991TuxBender: good, you don't want that insalled22:20
TuxBendertherefrore, wait and keep the fingers crossed22:20
drifting-on-a-dr> truncate table capturecard;22:20
drifting-on-a-dr> truncate table cardinput;22:20
drifting-on-a-dr> quit22:20
rhpot1991drifting-on-a-dr: I would go into mythtv-setup, delete everything in there and reset everything up22:21
TuxBenderrhpot1991, therefore, wait till someone does update the kernel and fix the issue?22:22
rhpot1991TuxBender: try the lirc_zilog part22:23
rhpot1991and check that forum thread that is linked22:23
