| CyberKnet | Does anyone know the button combination on the remote that restarts the frontend? I neglected to write it down when I saw it during setup sorry. | 02:48 |
|---|---|---|
| CyberKnet | "power followed by clear" | 02:54 |
| CyberKnet | but myth exited, and I can't seem to get that to work. | 02:54 |
| zuixro | Does anyone know how to stop mythbuntu from automatically restarting mythfrontend whenever it crashes (Yeah, weird request, I know) | 03:32 |
| mycosys | dont set mcc to start it i would think | 03:33 |
| mycosys | can use xfce to start it instead if you want it to come up on boot (if ur using xfce) | 03:34 |
| zuixro | Cool, I'll try that | 03:36 |
| zuixro | Thanks | 03:36 |
| zuixro | Is anyone else here running the most recent -fixes build? Because my backend is completely screwed up right now. | 04:18 |
| mycosys | zuixro - maybe more help on that in #mythtv-users | 04:39 |
| tgm4883 | zuixro, are you on an up to date mythfrontend build? | 04:57 |
| zuixro | tgm4883 I just checked for updates and there was nothing new | 05:00 |
| CyberKnet | any folks familiar with pcregrep in here? | 05:09 |
| CyberKnet | trying to match the output of lm_sensors to capture all data for a particular group | 05:09 |
| tgm4883 | zuixro, what is the output of 'dpkg -l mythtv-frontend' | 05:14 |
| zuixro | tgm4883 2:0.24.0+fixes.20110330.8 | 05:15 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, nope that is up to date | 05:15 |
| tgm4883 | zuixro, when it crashes, what is the exit code? | 05:15 |
| zuixro | It's not crashing, my backend was just restarting every 3 minutes or so, now it says it's recording, but the recordings won't play. | 05:16 |
| mycosys | what tuners u using, jus out o curiosity? | 05:30 |
| zuixro | Both Hauppauge, 1 HVR-1600 and 1 PVR-500 | 05:33 |
| mycosys | not related to the dibicom issue then lol | 05:38 |
| mycosys | speaking of which - cold reboot time :( | 05:38 |
| zuixro | Yeah, haven't done that in a while. I've just been "sudo reboot" ing from ssh for a while. | 05:39 |
| Shadow__X | anything in logs? | 05:40 |
| mycosys | have to do it cold to reload firmware :( | 05:41 |
| zuixro | Shadow__X A few hours ago I had a bunch of these: "2011-03-31 22:18:13.845 RingBuf(/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1030_20110331190000.nuv) Warning: Taking too long to be allowed to read.." But that's the only thing that looked out of place to me | 05:43 |
| zuixro | mycosys Imma cold reboot right now and see if that solves anything. | 05:44 |
| mycosys | doubt it - is a pretty specific issue | 05:45 |
| mycosys | check dmesg zuixro - you would see it | 05:45 |
| Shadow__X | i am not sure if your tuners should be making .nuv files | 05:47 |
| zuixro | Shadow__X I think that might have been from the transcoder failing on one of the messed up recordings | 05:48 |
| Shadow__X | if your backend kepts failing i would delete all tuners and just try to get that stable | 05:49 |
| mycosys | it shouldnt be | 05:49 |
| mycosys | it should be making mpg files - they have hardware encoders | 05:50 |
| mycosys | something is very messed up there | 05:50 |
| zuixro | Thats why I think it was unrelated | 05:50 |
| zuixro | The backend is stable now, it just wont record :P | 05:50 |
| mycosys | .nuv are only made by frame grabber cards | 05:50 |
| zuixro | I think all my recordings get transcoded into .nuvs | 05:51 |
| mycosys | your tuner confiuguration is wrong | 05:51 |
| mycosys | no they dont | 05:51 |
| mycosys | do what shadow_x said | 05:51 |
| mycosys | and read the linuxtv pages for ur tuners | 05:51 |
| zuixro | I set them up according to the Mythtv wiki instructions | 05:52 |
| mycosys | you have done it wrong | 05:55 |
| mycosys | see the linuxtv wiki | 05:55 |
| zuixro | There's no information for my tuners there: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/WinTV-PVR-500 http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1600 | 05:55 |
| zuixro | They're both setup as hardware mpg encoders, IVTV | 05:56 |
| zuixro | Exactly how the mythtv wiki says to set them up | 05:56 |
| mycosys | http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge | 05:56 |
| Zinn | [www.linuxtv.org] Hauppauge - LinuxTVWiki | 05:56 |
| mycosys | please tell me u didnt follow this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 | 05:58 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HVR-1600 - MythTV | 05:58 |
| zuixro | Why? It worked fine until today. It's the only information I could find | 05:59 |
| mycosys | cos it says to use mercurial to download the drivers | 05:59 |
| zuixro | I didn't download any drivers | 05:59 |
| mycosys | thank god | 05:59 |
| zuixro | Yeah it says not to do that for new kernels | 06:01 |
| mycosys | what do you use the analog part of the card for? | 06:01 |
| zuixro | That's my main tuner | 06:01 |
| mycosys | ?/?????? | 06:01 |
| mycosys | how? | 06:01 |
| zuixro | What do you mean? | 06:02 |
| mycosys | there are no analog broadcasts in the US | 06:02 |
| zuixro | I use it with cable | 06:02 |
| mycosys | kk | 06:02 |
| mycosys | no idea there | 06:02 |
| mycosys | jus asking on #mythtv-users - couple o guys there REALLY know the ATSC hauppauges | 06:05 |
| mycosys | (4:03:38 PM) wagnerrp: no nuvs from either of those | 06:06 |
| mycosys | (4:03:44 PM) wagnerrp: they /can/ if you use the correct device node | 06:06 |
| mycosys | (4:03:53 PM) wagnerrp: but that node is not /dev/video0 | 06:06 |
| mycosys | (4:04:02 PM) wagnerrp: you will get nuvs if you run a lossy transcode on them | 06:06 |
| zuixro | Yes, and I have transcoding set up to save disk space | 06:06 |
| mycosys | you realise it is cheaper to buy hard drives than to transcode? | 06:08 |
| zuixro | old system with just IDE, no SATA | 06:08 |
| mycosys | PCI sata cards go for about $15, not fast but enough for myth | 06:09 |
| mycosys | tho - that system is prolly chewing power | 06:09 |
| zuixro | I don't really need to keep every recording ever | 06:09 |
| mycosys | what are the system specs? | 06:10 |
| zuixro | P4@2.2GHz I think, 1GB ram, 160GB HDD | 06:10 |
| zuixro | Aand backend crashed and restarted 3 times, then finally just died | 06:11 |
| mycosys | damn dude - that is gonna CHEW the power | 06:14 |
| Zinn | mycosys: Please watch your language. | 06:14 |
| mycosys | would definitely try to avoid transcoding on it | 06:14 |
| mycosys | is not an efficient cpu | 06:15 |
| mycosys | also doesnt idle well | 06:15 |
| zuixro | Yeah, hoping to build a new system soon | 06:15 |
| mycosys | a cheap atom would perform better and use 5 times less power max | 06:15 |
| mycosys | (4:14:10 PM) wagnerrp: mycosys: the only way you would get nuvs straight from a PVR-150 or HVR-1600 is if you are either running a very old version of mythtv, or you intentionally did something very stupid | 06:16 |
| zuixro | I'm not getting nuvs straight from the card | 06:16 |
| zuixro | mpgs are getting transcoded into nuvs | 06:16 |
| mycosys | wagnerrp is amazing - am sure he can sort u out | 06:26 |
