[05:25] can a dev pls take a look at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/666120 [05:25] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #666120 in Mythbuntu: “Issue installing mythbuntu 10.10” [05:25] yes [05:26] @zinn have u seen the issue? [05:26] Hi hot_wheelz, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [05:27] ah sorry about that [05:59] hot_wheelz, verify the ISO against the md5sum, I haven't heard of any issues like that [06:17] tgm4883 where is the md5? [06:54] hello [07:27] tgm4883 got it [08:46] hey there, i've got a problem with my sound. all voices are quit, while all otherrr noises are normal. do somebody know this problem? [08:46] *quiet [13:05] OK. I was persuaded to install Mythbuntu 10.10 on my older machine (which was running D1's MythTV). [13:05] It appeared to install OK (albeit without any fancy peripherals. ). [13:05] When I rebooted the machine, all I got was "mythbuntu" on a black screen with 5 red dots underneath. [13:05] (Except... I did ask it to install TV out. That seemed strange because I wasn't asked to nominate a tuner card). [13:05] The machine boots and runs the frontend from the CD nicely. After that - no joy. [13:05] What do I do now? Do I: [13:05] 1] Give up. [13:05] 2] Download an older distro of Mythbuntu, and try that? [13:05] The doco is of no help. [13:05] Can anyone help here? Thanks in advance for any encouraging advice :) === Tho is now known as Guest2601 [15:30] Hi everybody... [15:33] is 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 it [15:34] same result with current mythbuntu and the previous [15:42] Guest2601: for scanning problems, we refer people to #mythtv-users [15:45] ok, thanks [20:06] 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? [20:10] luckyone_: I believe it should work, check with google or the forums for sure though [20:22] Need help Mythbackend tuners unavailable, 8.04 Ubuntu .21Myth [20:22] upgrade? [20:22] or rather [20:22] restart your backend? [20:24] also upgrade :) [20:24] Long 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 tv [20:24] someone was having issues a few days back with playback eating more CPU than normal, whoever you are are you around still? [20:25] drifting-on-a-dr, did you go through all the steps in mythtv-setup? [20:25] tgm, yes I did [20:25] rhpot1991, you don't like to be vague do you? [20:25] tgm4883: thats about all they said, so I can't be any more specific than that [20:25] figuring it may be similar to the issue I fixed on my box over the weekend so if they respond I can check that [20:27] tgm - 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 right [20:30] drifting-on-a-dr: try to optimize/repair/etc your DB [20:31] Shall try it right now. [20:34] hey folks [20:35] drifting-on-a-dr: easiest place is in mythweb if you have it enabled [20:35] anyone useing Mythexport to convert HD recordings? I'm getting no audio on my converted files [20:35] rhpot1991, ^ [20:35] settings > database [20:35] SpaceBass: what version? [20:36] ubuntu 10.10 (was 10.4 same issue) mythexport - latest [20:37] SpaceBass: assuming you reconfigured after the upgrade (or if you got the latest from a ppa before time)? [20:37] rhpot1991, I get audio in VLC, but not quicktime - goal is to transcode for iPad (iTunes) [20:37] SpaceBass: dpkg -l |grep mythexport [20:37] rhpot1991, 2.2.2-0ubuntu1 [20:38] ok good [20:38] !help [20:38] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [20:39] rhpot1991, in fairness my myth install has been wonky for quite a while - howver I think this is an ffmpeg setting [20:40] try to modify your config and add "-ar 44100" [20:40] K - is that audio sample rate? Trying to learn too :D [20:41] I'm not sure it will help, but I've had others tell me they had to add it [20:41] for them it didn't run without it though [20:41] I think, looking for the other email [20:41] DB repaired and optimized, do I clear config of tuners and start again ? [20:42] drifting-on-a-dr: restart the backend and see if they show up [20:42] sudo restart mythtv-backend [20:42] while I'm thinking about Mythexport - does it have to run on the local machine? or could it run on another box? [20:43] SpaceBass: in theory it can run on another box, you need a valid config.xml in place [20:44] it depends on the backend too though, so it will try to install the backend if it isn't there [20:44] SpaceBass: you would need to setup shares so the file paths looked the same [20:44] so yes, but carefully [20:44] rhpot1991, thanks, i'll solve one problem at a time [20:44] but might eventually want to offload that processing [20:44] SpaceBass: try with more than one recording to make sure that its not an issue with that recording too [20:45] rhpot1991, the no audio problem exists with all of my HD recordings [20:45] which is in turn all of my recordings [20:45] SpaceBass: I could make a package that didn't require the backend and help you figure out what needs to go where [20:45] SpaceBass: you enabled medibuntu right? [20:45] rhpot1991, yes and re-enabled after the upgrade [20:46] thats weird, if vlc sees it then there is sound there [20:46] Checked log on front end, says not capture cards defined? but there is! and I scanned channels on thm? [20:47] rhpot1991, yeah, makes me think it is something outside of apple's spec - going to try -ar 44100 now [20:47] have also just noticed the new portable h264 presets which may be a good building block [20:48] SpaceBass: you should have been prompted to reconfigure when you upgraded, it shouldn't have worked if you didn't [20:49] and those presets should work well with any apple or android product [20:49] lets see if I have any test files around still [20:50] sorry - by reconfigure I mean re-added the repos [20:56] drifting-on-a-dr, backend logs? [21:04] Just reading up on how to turn logging back on :-) Will report back soon [21:14] This 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+mythbuntu1 [21:18] drifting-on-a-dr: it should just work [21:18] should be in /var/log/mythtv/mythtvbackend or so [21:19] drifting-on-a-dr: are you sure the backend is actually running, sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status [21:19] also, check permissions and ownership on that file and directory. [21:20] Yes, backend is running, can watch recorded show from frontends [21:22] syslog r/w adm r/w other r/w folder mythtv owns [21:34] paul@vs:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend status [21:34] * mythbackend is running [21:56] well, absent all other explainations, the most simple/straight-forward should apply: double check that it is started with arguments to log to that file. [21:59] I 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 tuners [22:02] smells like the tuners are busy or not setup correctly [22:05] As 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. [22:11] drifting-on-a-dr: you can normally fix that by hand but have to be careful [22:11] I wonder if you broke something when you deleted them all and tried to get them back to 0 [22:11] may have an id missmatch on the tables now [22:12] I did follow info on Ubuntu docs to zero tuners, numbering now right, tuners are 1 - 8 but no live tv since [22:13] drifting-on-a-dr: nothing in the logs when you try to start livetv? (backend logs) [22:13] No nothing [22:13] who does have a little bit of time get lirc running after update from mythbuntu 04.10 to 10 [22:14] TuxBender: depends on your device [22:15] hauppauge tv card [22:15] in 04.10 I had no problem. after update. no output from irw [22:16] * rhpot1991 finds a bug for you [22:16] Assume I may have to increase logging? but was considering yet another clean out of tuners, not sure what else to do [22:17] TuxBender: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/658496 [22:17] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #658496 in Mythbuntu: “Hauppauge remote not working on upgrade to Maverick Meerkat” [22:17] see if that helps [22:17] TuxBender: also make sure that you don't have lirc-modules-source installed [22:19] I 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 me [22:19] drifting-on-a-dr: how did you 0 the tuners? [22:19] argh. shit! [22:19] TuxBender: Please watch your language. [22:19] i hav not installed it [22:20] TuxBender: good, you don't want that insalled [22:20] therefrore, wait and keep the fingers crossed [22:20] > truncate table capturecard; [22:20] > truncate table cardinput; [22:20] > quit [22:21] drifting-on-a-dr: I would go into mythtv-setup, delete everything in there and reset everything up [22:22] rhpot1991, therefore, wait till someone does update the kernel and fix the issue? [22:23] TuxBender: try the lirc_zilog part [22:23] and check that forum thread that is linked [22:25] lirc-sir is crashing on mythbuntu 10.10
