| CyberKnet | So the drive that holds my video won't mount. It's an xfs partition on a 1.5tb drive mirrored to another 1.5tb drive by a 3ware Escalade 9500S-4LP. It looks like there was an incomplete write and now the superblock has an invalid magic number. | 02:09 |
|---|---|---|
| CyberKnet | running xfs_check indicates the bad magic number and floating point exception. | 02:10 |
| CyberKnet | xfs_repair says it can't find the primary superblock, runs for hours (over 12) showing dots and then indicates it couldn't find a secondary superblock. | 02:11 |
| CyberKnet | now... earlier after I ran xfs_repair I noticed that the root filesystem was mounted readonly. | 02:12 |
| CyberKnet | I'm not sure if that would prohibit xfs_repair from functioning properly, so I rebooted, managed to get the root filesystem to mount readwrite, and am running xfs_repair again | 02:12 |
| CyberKnet | but ... I'm thinking this isn't looking good? | 02:12 |
| quentusrex | Anyone know if there is a way to integrate a roku box into mythbuntu? | 03:43 |
| quentusrex | or enable mythbuntu to record a roku stream? | 03:43 |
| Shadow__X | quentusrex: do you mean watch mythtv recordings on a roku? | 04:06 |
| quentusrex | nope, the other direction | 04:10 |
| Shadow__X | what do you want to happen | 04:11 |
| quentusrex | a roku video to be recorded on mythbuntu so that I can watch it again. | 04:11 |
| Shadow__X | you mean like recording something from hulu plus to watch it again? | 04:12 |
| quentusrex | without the need to stream the video again. | 04:12 |
| Shadow__X | thats breaking the law and is not appropriate | 04:12 |
| Shadow__X | also thats not what mythtv is designed for | 04:12 |
| quentusrex | Then is there a way to increase the roku storage? so that more shows could be stored? | 04:13 |
| Shadow__X | i do not know the answer to the question but considering it is a streaming solution it is doubtful | 04:13 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, th roku device streams and decodes an encrypted stream... | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, mythbuntu is not a device to rip Netflix/other streams | 04:22 |
| quentusrex | I set out to find a way to solve the issue of having an unreliable internet connection in the evenings(in my area) with the hope to cache the streams during the day when there was more reliable bandwidth. Now I see that the whole streaming system is broke unless you have reliable bandwidth at the time you want to watch the stream. | 04:24 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, sorry to hear that, but you are correct, its streaming for a reason | 04:25 |
| Shadow__X | quentusrex: invest your time in getting a more reliable connection | 04:25 |
| quentusrex | The only solution for the bandwidth issue is to move. | 04:25 |
| Shadow__X | or you could record your tv on your own | 04:26 |
| Shadow__X | which is what mythtv IS for | 04:26 |
| quentusrex | Shadow__X, there is only one cable provider in my area, and they only broadcast in encrypted digital. | 04:26 |
| quentusrex | except a few local channels | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, I am pretty sure its the Netflix or similar he is after, not TV in particular | 04:27 |
| Shadow__X | i thought if you run netflix on a computer it might cache some files | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, you can still record off the output of the cable boxes | 04:27 |
| quentusrex | Shadow__X, for me only about 10 minutes of video at a time | 04:27 |
| Shadow__X | quentusrex: you can still record from the cable box | 04:27 |
| quentusrex | I have not found a good way to record over component cable. | 04:28 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, HD-PVR | 04:28 |
| Shadow__X | hauppauge hddvr | 04:28 |
| Shadow__X | pvr* | 04:28 |
| * quentusrex googles. | 04:28 | |
| Shadow__X | goggles | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, i can say from personal experience, its a great device...worth the cash | 04:29 |
| quentusrex | can you import from the pvr into mythbuntu? | 04:29 |
| foxbuntu | not import | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | record | 04:30 |
| Shadow__X | you can record directly from the hdpvr | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | its a full tuner | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | just runs via usb | 04:30 |
| Shadow__X | well its not really tuning anything in the conventional sense is it | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, it has an ir blaster to change channels...so yes | 04:31 |
| quentusrex | are there any issues controlling it from mythbuntu? | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, nope | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, its had great support in myth for quite sometime | 04:32 |
| quentusrex | such as with an ir blaster from mythbuntu, and one from this pvr to the cable box? | 04:32 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, depends on the cable box, but many can be controlled via serial or usb | 04:32 |
| foxbuntu | but ir blasters do work in the other cases | 04:33 |
| quentusrex | I'll look into this. Thanks for the recommendation. | 04:33 |
| Shadow__X | some boxes can be controller via firewire as well | 04:33 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, and beyond that you can record some channels via firewire on said boxes | 04:34 |
| Shadow__X | yes, thats how i am currently recording my shows from my stb but ymmv widly depending on a few factors | 04:35 |
| foxbuntu | indeed | 04:35 |
| Shadow__X | any idea of when/if the colossus will gain linux support, i get that hdmi is encrypted but there are 2 component dongles included | 04:36 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, Its in process in the v4l project | 04:38 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, but its only recently started up so it will be sometime before its stable | 04:38 |
| Shadow__X | yeah at that point i would get a hdpvr | 04:39 |
| Shadow__X | plus since its external its easier to have more than one, but honestly i care more about silicondusts cablecard tuner | 04:39 |
| Shadow__X | hdhomerun prime | 04:39 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, yeah, thats likely to never work in *nix | 04:40 |
| Shadow__X | the encrypted streams no, but the unencrypted streams should work | 04:40 |
| foxbuntu | Shadow__X, the reason is the drm requirements on the cablecard standard | 04:40 |
| Shadow__X | yes but i should be able to get the same channels as i do over firewire from it in the clear | 04:40 |
| Shadow__X | not everything has the do not record flag set | 04:41 |
| quentusrex | I see reviews of the pvr claiming that channel changing scripts do not work | 04:41 |
| foxbuntu | but you can get that qith clearQAM on the normal hdhr | 04:41 |
| quentusrex | has this changed since early last year? | 04:41 |
| Shadow__X | foxbuntu: no i get more channels from my stb through firewire than through clearqam | 04:41 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, which scripts? | 04:44 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, there are allot of them | 04:44 |
| quentusrex | foxbuntu, the review does not say. | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | quentusrex, I have never had issues with that | 04:45 |
| foxbuntu | but I did all mine via serial | 04:46 |
| CyberKnet | anyone have any thoughts on the xfs recovery issue I mentioned? | 04:47 |
| foxbuntu | CyberKnet, hard to say since xfs_repair depends on the superblocks to function | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | CyberKnet, you could try a metadump and asking the xfs devs about it | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | CyberKnet, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/xfs_metadump.8.html | 05:06 |
| Zinn | [manpages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Manpage: xfs_metadump - copy XFS filesystem metadata to a file | 05:06 |
| CyberKnet | foxbuntu: Hmmm... I may keep a copy of the DB and one of the mirrored drives around to try that. | 06:05 |
| MeraX1 | hey, I'm looking for something do mixup a stereo sound signal from one application to 5.1 in order to to set the volume of this special application different for each of the 5.1 speakers with pavucontrol (ore some thing like this) | 18:46 |
