| ojwb | hads: I'm trying to get your tv_grab_nz-py script to work with mythtv, but not having much success - are there some setup instructions somewhere? | 04:10 |
|---|---|---|
| hads | ojwb: I haven't configured it lately but last time I did mythtv-setup should run the grabber at the command line from which it was started so you need to switch back to that terminal and see if there is any output. | 07:11 |
| hads | It runs --configure and creates a config file in ~/.mythtv/$VIDEO_SOURCE.xmltv with lines for each wanted channel like so; channel=tv3.freeviewnz.tv | 07:12 |
| hads | All discussions that I'm aware of have taken place on the mythtvnz mailing list, there should be a few howtos in the archives there. | 07:13 |
| hads | Happy to help here or there or where ever. | 07:15 |
| ojwb | hads: thanks | 07:43 |
| ojwb | i have since asking found a howto from you in the archives there, but not having much luck | 07:44 |
| ojwb | starting again from scratch currently, as I'd managed to get some channels in twice by retuning | 07:44 |
| ojwb | hads: hmm, I found I'd managed to get channel!tv3.freeviewnz.tv etc, and changed the ! to = with sed | 07:52 |
| ojwb | now mythfilldatabase finds plenty of shows, but they don't show in the guide | 07:52 |
| ojwb | is that cached or something? | 07:52 |
| hads | Shouldn't be. | 07:52 |
| hads | Do you do SQL much? | 07:52 |
| ojwb | as little as I can | 07:52 |
| hads | Fair enough. | 07:53 |
| ojwb | it's not totally alien to me though | 07:53 |
| hads | Do you have mythweb installed? | 07:53 |
| ojwb | no | 07:53 |
| ojwb | let me restart the frontend just in case | 07:53 |
| hads | mythweb is convenient, it has settings screens including a channel list where you can see the xmltvids and channel numbers etc. | 07:54 |
| hads | You can do the same with SQL but mythweb is more convenient. | 07:54 |
| hads | You will need to assign channel numbers if you haven't already. | 07:55 |
| hads | In case you hadn't noticed mythtv isn't that much fun to set up. | 07:58 |
| ojwb | that much is starting to become clear | 07:59 |
| ojwb | I seem to have two versions of most channels now | 07:59 |
| ojwb | I assume one is the one I can watch and the other has listings | 07:59 |
| * ojwb installs mythweb | 08:00 | |
| ojwb | oh, i already have it | 08:00 |
| * cloudy_nz is lazy & bought a Samsung TV with freeview & a media player | 08:00 | |
| hads | They are nice but not quite the same featureset. | 08:01 |
| hads | ojwb: /mythweb/settings/tv/channels is the path you want | 08:01 |
| ojwb | ooh ta | 08:02 |
| ojwb | yes, i have two versions of most | 08:02 |
| hads | Are you running a DVB card? | 08:02 |
| ojwb | one lot with xmltvid and no channum | 08:02 |
| ojwb | the other with the other | 08:02 |
| ojwb | it's a DVB-T usb stick | 08:03 |
| ojwb | I have a DVB-S card, but I haven't tried that yet | 08:03 |
| hads | And if so you would have done a channel scan etc. | 08:03 |
| ojwb | yes | 08:03 |
| ojwb | and I have watching and recording working | 08:03 |
| ojwb | but no episode guide | 08:03 |
| hads | Then you want to copy the xmltvid to the ones with channel numbers | 08:03 |
| ojwb | except for the now and next on some channels | 08:03 |
| ojwb | yeah | 08:03 |
| ojwb | mad that it did this though | 08:03 |
| hads | It's a little bit skewed towards US users who use schedules direct | 08:04 |
| hads | XMLTV stuff doesn't quite work as smoothly | 08:04 |
| ojwb | what's callsign? | 08:05 |
| ojwb | should I copy that over? | 08:05 |
| hads | Another US thing, just make it the same as the name | 08:05 |
| ojwb | indeed - it seems the same as name for the real entries | 08:05 |
| hads | Once you copy the xmltvids over and run mythfilldatabase you should be good to go. | 08:06 |
| hads | Though if you have now/next data you might need to change another setting | 08:06 |
| hads | Uncheck "useonairguide" | 08:06 |
| ojwb | i disable that when I configured your script | 08:07 |
| ojwb | disabled | 08:07 |
| hads | Cool | 08:07 |
| ojwb | ok, that looks saner | 08:10 |
| hads | What happened was, mythfilldatabase will add a new channel for any new xmltv it finds in the data. | 08:11 |
| hads | *xmltvid | 08:11 |
| ojwb | oh, and because there were none for the existing channels, it just created new ones | 08:12 |
| hads | Yeah | 08:12 |
| ojwb | well, mythfilldatabase found 1293 first showings | 08:13 |
| ojwb | i don't seem to have listings yet | 08:13 |
| hads | Which is the reason the config file has the ! lines - so you can exclude a channel and it won't get automatically added all the time. | 08:13 |
| hads | Hmm, you should now I think. | 08:14 |
| ojwb | it seems to just have "NO DATA" everywhere in /mythweb/tv/list | 08:14 |
| ojwb | hads: can i easily see the data mythfilldatabase put there? | 08:16 |
| ojwb | i guess it's in mysql? | 08:16 |
| hads | Can you paste the mythfilldatabase output? | 08:17 |
| hads | Yes it is in SQL, one second. | 08:17 |
| hads | `mysql -u root mythconverg` assuming a root password isn't set | 08:18 |
| hads | then `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM program;` | 08:18 |
| ojwb | http://paste.debian.net/108357/ is the output | 08:18 |
| hads | 2011-02-21 21:17:56.439 No programs found in data. | 08:19 |
| hads | It didn't insert anything. If you run with `mythfilldatabase -v most` it should give you some more info | 08:20 |
| hads | I would say that those 1293 entries are from the useonairguide stuff that was there before. | 08:23 |
| hads | First thought for the reason it's not finding any data is that it's using the wrong config file. | 08:24 |
| ojwb | hmm, failing to work out how to tell mysql the password | 08:24 |
| hads | -p | 08:24 |
| ojwb | gah, the config file is all ! again | 08:24 |
| hads | Don't worry about mysql at the moment, we know you're not getting data. | 08:24 |
| ojwb | aha, -v most now scrolls loads of tv shows | 08:25 |
| ojwb | hurrah | 08:25 |
| hads | Wonder what overwrote your config. | 08:25 |
| ojwb | and i have listings in mythweb | 08:25 |
| hads | Neat | 08:26 |
| ojwb | cool, many thanks | 08:26 |
| ojwb | it's should be significantly more useful now | 08:26 |
| hads | No worries, have fun. | 08:26 |
| hads | Certainly will be | 08:27 |
| ojwb | this really shouldn't be so hard to set up | 08:27 |
| ojwb | not sure what can easily be done though | 08:28 |
| ojwb | i guess nz is a small "market" | 08:28 |
| hads | The dev community is a bit hostile, I have up contributing a while back. | 08:28 |
| hads | Still do NZ stuff with listing etc. but don't contribute to mythtv itself. | 08:29 |
| ojwb | the listings are certainly really useful | 08:29 |
| ojwb | i spent a while finding dead source | 08:29 |
| ojwb | +s | 08:30 |
| ojwb | or ones sky had taken down with legal threats | 08:30 |
| hads | Yeah, been there :) | 08:30 |
| ojwb | which were written in C# | 08:30 |
| ojwb | how come they leave you alone? | 08:30 |
| hads | I was running a site that got a C&D from Sky | 08:30 |
| hads | and took it down | 08:31 |
| ojwb | i guess they want to flog their pvrs, so don't appreciate the competition | 08:31 |
| ojwb | hmm, so either mythtv uses alsa (the default) i can't turn the volume up to be all the loud, or else I tell it to use pulseaudio and can turn the master volume above 100%, but then audio and video aren't in sync | 09:19 |
| ojwb | I thought we'd got beyond that years ago | 09:20 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 18:39 |
| snail | ibeardslee: morning | 18:42 |
| ajmitch | morning | 19:15 |
| ibeardslee | hads: that farmbot is awesome | 19:28 |
| snail | farmbot? | 19:29 |
| ibeardslee | http://bit.ly/h4FpK3 | 19:29 |
| hads | Yeah I thought that was neat | 19:41 |
| hads | Morning | 19:41 |
| mwhudson | morning | 19:44 |
| ibeardslee | after seeing my brother-in-law with his xmas pressie (radio controlled helicopter), I thought .. that'd be an interesting android project | 19:45 |
| ibeardslee | arduino | 19:45 |
| ibeardslee | gah | 19:45 |
| ibeardslee | sigh .. can I go home now? | 19:46 |
| hads | Sure | 19:47 |
| ibeardslee | although using android as the base controller talking to an arduino controller over wireless (of some sort) | 19:47 |
| hads | ibeardslee: http://aeroquad.com/ | 19:48 |
| ajmitch | ibeardslee: more coffee? | 19:49 |
| ibeardslee | hads: sigh .. someone always does my ideas before I do | 19:50 |
| ibeardslee | I remember an idea I had for horseless carriages | 19:50 |
| mwhudson | and packing a few billion transistors into a little space? | 19:55 |
| ajmitch | that's just absurd | 19:55 |
| ajmitch | noone could make them that small | 19:55 |
| snail | the thing with that farmbot is that as a biologist, it's not even close to as elegant as the hundreds of ways seed is already dispersed, far easier to GE the plant than have a completely different toolchain | 22:35 |
| ojwb | morning | 22:46 |
