[00:48] <rhpot1991> Seeker`: I rip to mkv first and thats good
[00:49] <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
[00:52] <rhpot1991> Seeker`: look at makemkv
[00:56] <Seeker`> rhpot1991: you mean the backup the disk as unencrypted m2ts?
[02:01] <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
[02:03] <Patrickdk> should be smooth
[02:03] <Patrickdk> but you will need to update all frontends
[02:04] <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.
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:08] <ripperda> and away it goes...
[02:29] <ripperda> looks smooth so far. database updated, verified recordings, videos, live tv
[17:21] <Seeker`> just how stable is the trunk buikd right now? any showstopper bugs
[17:38] <superm1> Seeker`, might be better off asking in -users about the general stability of trunk
[17:39] <superm1> our  builds aren't doing anything special really
[17:39] <superm1> so from our perspective, they're not failing to build or anything
[18:00] <Seeker`> do you use trunk yourself?
[18:01] <Seeker`> im planning in starting to use bluray content tomorrow so HD audio passthrough would be great, but i think only trunk supports it
[18:02] <Seeker`> but i dont really want to upgrade if it will cause breakage that will annoy my girlfriend
[18:19] <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
[18:22] <mycosys> well ur help has been much appreciated over the years
[18:24] <superm1> thx
[19:47] <Number6> Where is the default storage location for coverart?
[19:49] <Jay2k1> i guess /var/lib/mythtv/coverart
[19:49] <Number6> Cheers, I knew it was in /var
[20:02] <Number6> Would changing the hostname cause the backend to disconnect from the frontend on a single PC setup?
[21:00] <patdk-lap> Number6, all depends :)
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <Number6> Now to wait 24 hours for the db to index the hard drives again
[21:05] <Number6> Can Mythbuntu auto download album art?
[21:34] <tgm4883> Number6, yes
[21:34] <tgm4883> well, mythtv can
[21:34] <tgm4883> I'm not sure if the distinction matters to you
[21:35] <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  :)
[21:36] <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
[21:42] <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?
[21:43] <tgm4883> Number6, I've not used MCE. There is the ability to create a screenshot though
[21:53] <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.
[21:54] <Hoochster> This is a diskless FE btw
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <Number6> Maybe it does this already, I'm going to need to wait about 16 hours for the filescan to complete
[22:01] <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?
[22:02] <tgm4883> Number6, it does that for recordings, but for videos it will grab posters and metadata from the internet
[22:09] <Number6> tgm4883: What about, say, TV shows?
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <Number6> Cool
[23:44] <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?
