| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: I rip to mkv first and thats good | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| rhpot1991 | I haven't tried from disc yet as I don't have a drive in my backend | 00:49 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: I'm hoping to be able to just rip the transport streams and play them back | 00:49 |
| rhpot1991 | Seeker`: look at makemkv | 00:52 |
| Seeker` | rhpot1991: you mean the backup the disk as unencrypted m2ts? | 00:56 |
| ripperda | Hi, I have a network based on mythbuntu 10.04 w/ .23 mythtv. I'm looking to update to .24 via mythtv-updates | 02:01 |
| ripperda | I'm curious if there's anything I should look out for, in terms of configuration. any steps I should take to avoid having my configuration corrupted. or if it should go very smoothly | 02:01 |
| Patrickdk | should be smooth | 02:03 |
| Patrickdk | but you will need to update all frontends | 02:03 |
| ripperda | right. I normally do maintenance remotely via ssh. I installed the mythbuntu-repos.deb on the backend, did an apt-get update and see the .24 packages. | 02:04 |
| ripperda | my backend does have a frontend on it, but I only use that rarely for checking up on things in the office. | 02:04 |
| ripperda | should I just apt-get install all of the various mythtv packages at once? or update the backend, then each additional piece one at a time? | 02:05 |
| Patrickdk | na, all at once | 02:05 |
| ripperda | I'll worry about rolling out my additional frontend systems once this backend system is all done | 02:05 |
| Patrickdk | but I think it might be alittle broken | 02:05 |
| Patrickdk | till the frontend connects | 02:05 |
| Patrickdk | cause the frontend upgrades the database | 02:05 |
| ripperda | ah ok | 02:06 |
| ripperda | that's why I do run a frontend on my backend system, for maintenance work like that. | 02:06 |
| ripperda | I'll do a wholesale update on this backend and test things out locally | 02:06 |
| Patrickdk | any frontend works :) | 02:06 |
| ripperda | yes, but then I have to run back and forth through the house :) | 02:06 |
| Patrickdk | just any non-upgraded frontend will refused to work :) | 02:06 |
| ripperda | right, I expected that | 02:06 |
| ripperda | and away it goes... | 02:08 |
| ripperda | looks smooth so far. database updated, verified recordings, videos, live tv | 02:29 |
| Seeker` | just how stable is the trunk buikd right now? any showstopper bugs | 17:21 |
| superm1 | Seeker`, might be better off asking in -users about the general stability of trunk | 17:38 |
| superm1 | our builds aren't doing anything special really | 17:39 |
| superm1 | so from our perspective, they're not failing to build or anything | 17:39 |
| Seeker` | do you use trunk yourself? | 18:00 |
| Seeker` | im planning in starting to use bluray content tomorrow so HD audio passthrough would be great, but i think only trunk supports it | 18:01 |
| Seeker` | but i dont really want to upgrade if it will cause breakage that will annoy my girlfriend | 18:02 |
| mycosys | good to see ur still round superm1 :) | 18:19 |
| superm1 | Seeker`, i dont use trunk myself | 18:19 |
| superm1 | that's why i was saying -users might be better | 18:19 |
| superm1 | mycosys, yeah, but not putting in as much time as i did previously | 18:19 |
| mycosys | well ur help has been much appreciated over the years | 18:22 |
| superm1 | thx | 18:24 |
| Number6 | Where is the default storage location for coverart? | 19:47 |
| Jay2k1 | i guess /var/lib/mythtv/coverart | 19:49 |
| Number6 | Cheers, I knew it was in /var | 19:49 |
| Number6 | Would changing the hostname cause the backend to disconnect from the frontend on a single PC setup? | 20:02 |
| patdk-lap | Number6, all depends :) | 21:00 |
| patdk-lap | the frontend requires a connection to the database | 21:01 |
| patdk-lap | if the frontend used the hostname to access the database, yep, it's screwed | 21:01 |
| Number6 | It may not have been that at all, patdk-lap. The theme changed as well. Very odd | 21:02 |
| patdk-lap | that is normal :) | 21:02 |
| patdk-lap | no backend database, no preferences, default values | 21:02 |
| Number6 | Now to wait 24 hours for the db to index the hard drives again | 21:03 |
| Number6 | Can Mythbuntu auto download album art? | 21:05 |
| tgm4883 | Number6, yes | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | well, mythtv can | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | I'm not sure if the distinction matters to you | 21:34 |
| Number6 | Provided that, when I search for songs, I'm shown Album art, I don't care | 21:35 |
| sabhain | grrrr .. anyone have a snapstream firefly RF? | 21:35 |
| Number6 | The outcome is all that matters, tgm4883 :) | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | Number6, actually, I was thinking of mythvideo metadata/art | 21:36 |
| tgm4883 | i'm unsure of album art, I don't use mythmusic | 21:36 |
| tgm4883 | sorry for the confusion | 21:36 |
| Number6 | tgm4883: I don't really mind. On a similar note, can stills from the video be created when you highlight the file - a bit like Windows MCE? | 21:42 |
| tgm4883 | Number6, I've not used MCE. There is the ability to create a screenshot though | 21:43 |
| Hoochster | Hello, I am trying to get Mythbuntu setup on a remote FE and having an issue testing the SQL, when I try and apply anything I get the MySQL Plugin is not fully filled out popup in the Control Centre. I have verified that the database can be connected to from the FE using the mythtv account and password. And feel I have checked the config.xml and mysql.txt to point to the database. I was running Myth along with a remote FE no problem, but was hav | 21:53 |
| Hoochster | ing stuttering issues and wanted to try out Mythbuntu. | 21:53 |
| Hoochster | This is a diskless FE btw | 21:54 |
| Number6 | tgm4883: Windows MCE will scan the avi (say) file and generate a screenshot as the icon. That's what I'd be looking for | 21:57 |
| Number6 | Maybe it does this already, I'm going to need to wait about 16 hours for the filescan to complete | 21:58 |
| phretor | I boot 10.10 on an HTPC connected to an HDMI TV. I see the boot screen, but then it all becomes black and nothing else happens. What should I do? | 22:01 |
| tgm4883 | Number6, it does that for recordings, but for videos it will grab posters and metadata from the internet | 22:02 |
| Number6 | tgm4883: What about, say, TV shows? | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | Number6, yes, those would be recordings. If you have TV show DVD's that you have ripped down to each episode it will gather that info too | 22:18 |
| Number6 | Cool | 22:19 |

| Hoochster | when running MCC on a Remote diskless FE, anytime I apply I get a Traceback error and MCC just hangs. Am I holding it wrong? | 23:44 |
