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