[02:48] <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.
[02:54] <CyberKnet> "power followed by clear"
[02:54] <CyberKnet> but myth exited, and I can't seem to get that to work.
[03:32] <zuixro> Does anyone know how to stop mythbuntu from automatically restarting mythfrontend whenever it crashes (Yeah, weird request, I know)
[03:33] <mycosys> dont set mcc to start it i would think
[03:34] <mycosys> can use xfce to start it instead if you want it to come up on boot (if ur using xfce)
[03:36] <zuixro> Cool, I'll try that
[03:36] <zuixro> Thanks
[04:18] <zuixro> Is anyone else here running the most recent -fixes build? Because my backend is completely screwed up right now.
[04:39] <mycosys> zuixro - maybe more help on that in #mythtv-users
[04:57] <tgm4883> zuixro, are you on an up to date mythfrontend build?
[05:00] <zuixro> tgm4883 I just checked for updates and there was nothing new
[05:09] <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
[05:14] <tgm4883> zuixro, what is the output of 'dpkg -l mythtv-frontend'
[05:15] <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?
[05:16] <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.
[05:30] <mycosys> what tuners u using, jus out o curiosity?
[05:33] <zuixro> Both Hauppauge, 1 HVR-1600 and 1 PVR-500
[05:38] <mycosys> not related to the dibicom issue then lol
[05:38] <mycosys> speaking of which - cold reboot time :(
[05:39] <zuixro> Yeah, haven't done that in a while. I've just been "sudo reboot" ing from ssh for a while.
[05:40] <Shadow__X> anything in logs?
[05:41] <mycosys> have to do it cold to reload firmware :(
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <zuixro> mycosys Imma cold reboot right now and see if that solves anything.
[05:45] <mycosys> doubt it - is a pretty specific issue
[05:45] <mycosys> check dmesg zuixro - you would see it
[05:47] <Shadow__X> i am not sure if your tuners should be making .nuv files
[05:48] <zuixro> Shadow__X I think that might have been from the transcoder failing on one of the messed up recordings
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <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
[05:52] <zuixro> I set them up according to the Mythtv wiki instructions
[05:55] <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
[05:56] <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
[05:58] <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
[05:59] <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
[06:01] <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?
[06:02] <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
[06:05] <mycosys> jus asking on #mythtv-users - couple o guys there REALLY know the ATSC hauppauges
[06:06] <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
[06:08] <mycosys> you realise it is cheaper to buy hard drives than to transcode?
[06:08] <zuixro> old system with just IDE, no SATA
[06:09] <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
[06:10] <mycosys> what are the system specs?
[06:10] <zuixro> P4@2.2GHz I think, 1GB ram, 160GB HDD
[06:11] <zuixro> Aand backend crashed and restarted 3 times, then finally just died
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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
[06:16] <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
[06:26] <mycosys> wagnerrp is amazing - am sure he can sort u out
