| nerdful_things | ok i'm back... short of upgrading to mythtv .24 or re-installing entire mythbuntu 10.10, is there anything I can do to fix the existing installation? I'm referring to schema matching error. | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| nerdful_things | Something like get to mysql prompt and reset database somehow? | 00:48 |
| nerdful_things | couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9 | 00:54 |
| nerdful_things | not sure if that breaks me trying to do .24 | 00:56 |
| nerdful_things | Hello, I upgraded o .24. Now, I get mo pnp and unable to login when running backend setup. My DB PW, ip address are ok, and did not change during upgrade. | 01:16 |
| nerdful_things | NM, thinks working, ick, all my channels gone... | 01:32 |

| nerdful_things | hello, i'm troubleshooting my myth .24 upgrade, and get this when trying to update synaptic: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9 | 13:57 |
| mycoDA | hey dude | 14:07 |
| mycoDA | follow the instructions on adding the ppa | 14:07 |
| nerdful_things | I did but that was last night. | 14:08 |
| mycoDA | well you didnt do it right | 14:08 |
| mycoDA | is totally wrong | 14:09 |
| mycoDA | http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick release | 14:09 |
| mycoDA | which ppa???? | 14:09 |
| nerdful_things | FYI, I had a 10.1o .23 system running perfectly for weeks. One fe/be box, other frontends able to connect, etc. Then I accidently let loose a .24 on another distro on the network, and I think it mated with my mythbuntu and corrupted everything. | 14:11 |
| nerdful_things | So I've been working with .24 upgrade, and seems to work with localhost 127.0.0.1, but not my 192.168.2.8 fe/be box, if I can fix that I may be ok. | 14:12 |
| Zinn | [127.0.0.1] arctangent.net | 14:12 |
| nerdful_things | mysql.txt, in etc, and user seem ok | 14:13 |
| nerdful_things | but fe can't login to be unless I use localhost stuff | 14:14 |
| nerdful_things | running mythfrontend in term I see empty hostname, but my prompt in term shows my box. | 14:15 |
| nerdful_things | mycoDA, to answer your question, .24ppa | 14:16 |
| nerdful_things | I may have missed some config file to set my ip and database PW it seems. | 14:18 |
| nerdful_things | could someone list the conf files I should check, such as /.mythtv/mysql.txt, etc? | 14:19 |
| nerdful_things | I tried the bind-address (used to be skip networking), etc | 14:21 |
| nerdful_things | Well, I have a spare hard drive, would be quicker to re-install 10.10 I guess, and dump my recordings in later. | 14:22 |
| nerdful_things | I wish mythbuntu didn't dump everything in one partition. | 14:23 |
| nerdful_things | I'm used to / and /home partitions where OS can be repaired independently. | 14:23 |
| mycoDA | just add the mythbuntu repos | 14:25 |
| mycoDA | !repo | 14:25 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about repo | 14:25 |
| mycoDA | !ppa | 14:25 |

| mycoDA | grr | 14:25 |
| nerdful_things_ | hehe | 14:26 |
| mycoDA | http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds | 14:26 |
| Zinn | [www.mythbuntu.org] Mythbuntu Repositories | Mythbuntu | 14:26 |
| nerdful_things_ | I think I'm just going to plop in my new 500GB drive. | 14:26 |
| mycoDA | install that http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb | 14:27 |
| mycoDA | then you will be able to choose 0.24 in mythbuntu control center | 14:27 |
| nerdful_things_ | ok, i'll give it another shot. | 14:27 |
| nerdful_things_ | I just finished all my channel listings scans etc...again | 14:27 |
| nerdful_things_ | grr | 14:27 |
| nerdful_things_ | mycoDA: i chose .24 in the control center last night... | 14:28 |
| mycoDA | so dont scan, download lol | 14:28 |
| mycoDA | dunno what you have done then | 14:28 |
| mycoDA | only config file is the mysql.txt | 14:29 |
| nerdful_things_ | No I mean I had everything working on the local box, even my recordings, I just lost the 192.168.2.8 access on the network. The box can't even find itself. | 14:29 |
| mycoDA | the rest is done in database | 14:29 |
| nerdful_things_ | and I can't get /mythweb running. | 14:30 |
| nerdful_things_ | for obvious reason. | 14:30 |
| mycoDA | sounds like mysql is totally and utterly trashed | 14:30 |
| mycoDA | so you should restore your backup | 14:30 |
| nerdful_things_ | mysql.txt and mysql.cfg or something too. | 14:30 |

| nerdful_things_ | POO, I was hours away from clonezilling my perfect system when the other distro trashed the thing. | 14:31 |
| mycoDA | myth can only run with the same version | 14:31 |
| mycoDA | is kinda the point of versioning | 14:31 |
| nerdful_things_ | I know, that is what happened. | 14:31 |
| mycoDA | you could even have told it not to upgrade the database on the other machine, no i dea why you let it | 14:32 |
| nerdful_things_ | I was playing with .24 on another box on the network, not even wanting to see the mythbuntu box, but I think the .24 thought the .23 box was its BE, and messed it up. | 14:33 |
| mycoDA | you had to have told it to upgrade the database | 14:33 |
| mycoDA | and there can only be ONE master backend on the network | 14:33 |
| nerdful_things_ | I might have, but not on porpoise.. | 14:33 |
| nerdful_things_ | So as one last try, can I just use synaptic to uninstall and re-install myth? | 14:34 |
| mycoDA | how would mysql have got stuffed outside the database??? | 14:34 |
| mycoDA | you shouldnt need to - you need to recreate mythconverg | 14:35 |
| mycoDA | you should have a backup - myth wont let you upgrade the schema without making one | 14:35 |
| nerdful_things_ | I'll give it a shot, how do I start, or just point me to a link, don't want to bug you. | 14:35 |

| nerdful_things_ | The original complaint was wrong schema anyway. | 14:36 |
| nerdful_things_ | I don't have anything to restore from' | 14:36 |
| nerdful_things | well I do, but its from .23 in december | 14:37 |
| * nerdful_things reads wiki | 14:37 | |
| nerdful_things | ooh, the hostname part looks interesting | 14:38 |
| nerdful_things | mythconverg_restore.pl --change_hostname --old_hostname="XXXX" --new_hostname="YYYY" | 14:44 |
| nerdful_things | I get command not found | 14:44 |
| nerdful_things | using sudo | 14:44 |
| nerdful_things | probly need mysql prompt... | 14:48 |
| nerdful_things | hmnn hosts.allow is an item of interest | 14:54 |
| nerdful_things | glad I didn't change that, just found problem... | 15:09 |
| nerdful_things | port 6543 was blank in setup. The prompt said "don't change" so I assumed it was blank. | 15:10 |
| nerdful_things | Thanks for your time, mycoDA | 15:11 |
| mycoDA | ack | 15:11 |
| mycoDA | np sorry i wasnt more help | 15:11 |
| mycoDA | quitting somking - addled brain | 15:11 |
| nerdful_things | Now for sound.. the optical and dolby digital light up on receiver, but no sound, checking controls.' | 15:11 |
| nerdful_things | VDPAU and stuff look good for video, I had to use nvidia driver from nvidia site, and the upgrade left that intact. | 15:13 |
| nerdful_things | drat, don't remember having sound problems... | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | prolly need to enable te optical out | 15:15 |
| nerdful_things | optical seems ok | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | *digital out | 15:15 |
| nerdful_things | receiver sees carrier, dolby dig, etc. | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | as in - enable it in myth | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | enable it in myth | 15:15 |
| mycoDA | in settings-general | 15:15 |
| nerdful_things | checking alsa setup again... | 15:16 |
| mycoDA | will need to set it to the appropriate output | 15:16 |
| mycoDA | gettin anywhere? | 15:48 |
| nerdful_things | just connected analog | 15:50 |
| nerdful_things | sound ok | 15:50 |
| nerdful_things | I'll play with optical later, sure it is ok... | 15:51 |
| mycoDA | speaker-test -c 6 -D surround51 -t wav | 15:51 |
| mycoDA | will test output | 15:51 |
| mycoDA | change surround51 to the appropriate output | 15:52 |
| nerdful_things | I tried a laptop, and am getting the schema thing, so going to re-install 10.10 frontend on it then upgrade to .24. I just did a control center backup to a separate partition on the drive. | 15:52 |
| mycoDA | aplay -L | 15:52 |
| mycoDA | will show device options | 15:52 |
| nerdful_things | ok, i'll play with the sound while ur here... | 15:53 |
| mycoDA | yeah you need to make sure you have the exact same version on all | 15:53 |
| mycoDA | iec958 would be digital out for me | 15:53 |
| nerdful_things | important thing is to have backend recording, need it for WAF, cooking show recording now... | 15:53 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 15:53 |
| mycoDA | shouldnt need to restart | 15:54 |
| nerdful_things | yeah, ac97, iec etc, looks the same as before, will try your above checks... I'm used to alsaconf in other distro. | 15:54 |
| mycoDA | yeah, but you need to find the one that is digital | 15:54 |
| mycoDA | like i said for me it is iec958 | 15:55 |
| mycoDA | iec958:CARD=CK804,DEV=0 | 15:55 |
| nerdful_things | hold on, just need another cuppacoffee, then I'll try | 15:55 |
| nerdful_things | yep, had ck804 listed... | 15:55 |
| mycoDA | nvidia motherboard eh | 15:55 |
| mycoDA | iec958 = spdif | 15:56 |
| mycoDA | need to set it to that in myth | 15:56 |
| mycoDA | but for now - speaker-test -c 6 -D iec958 -t wav | 15:56 |
| mycoDA | should tell you if digital is working from alsa | 15:56 |
| mycoDA | make sure the amp is on digital in of course lol | 15:57 |
| mycoDA | if that works then go into myth in settings -> general and on the audio page hit detect, and then on the line unerneath choose iec958:CARD=CK804,DEV=0 | 15:58 |
| mycoDA | if not well then there is plenty to check lol | 15:59 |
| mycoDA | http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut | 15:59 |
| Zinn | [alsa.opensrc.org] DigitalOut - ALSA wiki | 15:59 |
| nerdful_things | where do you see "detect? | 16:00 |
| nerdful_things | oh, wait... | 16:00 |
| nerdful_things | no, not in frontend/setup/audio systems the usual dolby, dts stuff is there and checked | 16:02 |
| mycoDA | the top line of that is a pressbutton | 16:03 |
| mycoDA | under that is a line where you enter device name | 16:03 |
| mycoDA | change it from alsa:default | 16:03 |
| nerdful_things | to: | 16:04 |
| nerdful_things | it wants alsa:default | 16:05 |
| nerdful_things | oh it just popped up 804... | 16:06 |
| mycoDA | you want it to be the one with iec958 in it | 16:07 |
| mycoDA | or spdif i spose | 16:07 |
| nerdful_things | funny always used the default with optical before... | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | odd | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | what chipset you have? | 16:08 |
| nerdful_things | ac97 | 16:08 |
| mycoDA | motherboard chipset lol | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | ac97 isnt a chipset at all btw | 16:09 |
| nerdful_things | checking controls, oh, i haven't tried your above commands | 16:09 |
| nerdful_things | nvidia | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | speaker-test -c 6 -D iec958 -t wav | 16:09 |
| nerdful_things | northbridge etc | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | that will test the connection | 16:09 |
| nerdful_things | amd | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | which one? | 16:09 |
| mycoDA | i have an nforce4 sli and an nforce430 | 16:09 |
| nerdful_things | nforce something | 16:10 |
| mycoDA | AMD both of em | 16:10 |
| nerdful_things | Old Mythic Dragon box | 16:10 |
| nerdful_things | MSI board | 16:10 |
| mycoDA | original phenom? | 16:10 |
| mycoDA | mine is just athlon 64 x2 | 16:10 |
| mycoDA | got a frontend with sempron64 3800+ too | 16:11 |
| nerdful_things | fergot, circa 2004 3.x a64 | 16:11 |
| mycoDA | wow, so single core socket 478? | 16:11 |
| mycoDA | or 939? | 16:11 |
| nerdful_things | Was a Knoppmyt commercial sales product Knoppmyth reference system. | 16:12 |
| nerdful_things | 939 | 16:12 |
| mycoDA | cool | 16:12 |
| mycoDA | i started on knoppmyth years back too lol | 16:12 |
| mycoDA | seduced by the dark side | 16:12 |
| nerdful_things | ick, I very reluctantly just set up a discarded vista box to get netflix etc with fraking DRM crap requirementgs | 16:13 |
| mycoDA | did you consider a VM? | 16:13 |
| nerdful_things | going too. | 16:13 |
| mycoDA | openbox or the like | 16:13 |
| mycoDA | jus xp under it? | 16:14 |
| nerdful_things | need a solid BE then I'll play around.. | 16:14 |
| mycoDA | or win7 starter? | 16:14 |
| mycoDA | you an aussie? | 16:14 |
| nerdful_things | This is a Vista box, but I have w7 upgrade licenses around, but it seems to work ok so far. | 16:14 |
| mycoDA | ewwwwwww | 16:15 |
| nerdful_things | oops I'm tytping on my dragon, the vista box has MCE in it which vudu, netflix require. | 16:15 |
| nerdful_things | no, all my myth stuff is on the amd dragon here | 16:16 |
| mycoDA | yeah - w7 is much nicer, what vista should have been, bout 20% faster | 16:16 |
| mycoDA | where are you from? | 16:16 |
| nerdful_things | I dual boot everything only use w7 when absolutely needed. | 16:16 |
| nerdful_things | usa | 16:16 |
| mycoDA | why??? ditch vista for 7 | 16:17 |
| mycoDA | aussie here | 16:17 |
| mycoDA | 1am lol | 16:17 |
| nerdful_things | My favorite distro is PCLinuxOS, but mythbuntu seems the most polished for mythtv | 16:17 |
| nerdful_things | go to bed, easter bunny will not come and take your teeth under pillow. | 16:17 |
| mycoDA | i would prolly get lynched, but i really like suse | 16:17 |
| mycoDA | gonna set up for fianceee - waitin for her 2 snooz | 16:18 |
| nerdful_things | In fact I've been helping get mythtv going on PCLinuxOS as a tester, is how I hosed my LAN | 16:18 |
| mycoDA | ahhh | 16:19 |
| mycoDA | next time remember one database per network | 16:19 |
| mycoDA | shouldnt impair you to make a slave backend | 16:19 |
| nerdful_things | I also am playing with Sara, I was about to get her going, with LinuxMCE, but am putting my trust in mythbuntu for the main BE | 16:20 |
| nerdful_things | Yeah, I never intended for the PCLinuxOS myth master BE to get away from me | 16:21 |
| mycoDA | sara? | 16:21 |
| nerdful_things | ok, back to sound, then I notice the video is jerky, even with vdpau enabled.. sigh, everything was just perfect 24 hours ago... | 16:22 |
| mycoDA | crap | 16:22 |
| mycoDA | what gpu? | 16:22 |
| mycoDA | what playback profile? | 16:22 |
| nerdful_things | Sara is the "host" that walks you through setting up the LinuxMCE home automation system, which has Mythtv in it also... | 16:22 |

| mycoDA | lookin forward to all my new stuff comin | 16:24 |
| mycoDA | specially the ssds | 16:24 |
| nerdful_things | I had to install the driver direct from nvidia, I don't even remember how I did it. | 16:24 |
| mycoDA | and the headphones | 16:24 |
| mycoDA | and the wireless n | 16:24 |
| mycoDA | i hope u didnt use the nvidia download on ubuntu????? | 16:24 |
| mycoDA | or at least not on 10.04 or later lol | 16:25 |
| nerdful_things | I did and it was only way to get vdau working perfectly | 16:25 |
| nerdful_things | speaker-test 1.0.23 | 16:26 |

| mycoDA | sorry my fault | 16:27 |
| mycoDA | doesnt do dts | 16:27 |
| mycoDA | speaker-test -c 2 -D iec958 -t wav | 16:27 |
| nerdful_things | it thinks it is testing... | 16:29 |
| nerdful_things | no sound or dolby light | 16:29 |
| mycoDA | is the reciever on digital? | 16:30 |
| mycoDA | shouldnt be a dolby light | 16:30 |
| nerdful_things | yes, but i'll worry about sound later, more concerned video is not right. | 16:30 |
| mycoDA | if no sound, 1st thing to do is run alsamixer and check it is not muted and is turned op | 16:30 |
| mycoDA | check s/pdif isnt muted in there | 16:31 |
| mycoDA | well answer the qs i asked before | 16:33 |
| nerdful_things | ? | 16:33 |
| mycoDA | what gpu? what playback profile | 16:33 |
| nerdful_things | its a card that was not likely to work, but the driver fixed it.. geforce 8800gt i think | 16:34 |
| mycoDA | u didnt download a driver from nvidia did u? on ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| mycoDA | pretty sure ur not sposed to do that anymore | 16:35 |
| mycoDA | incompatibility | 16:35 |
| nerdful_things | yes, that is what got it working perfectly, I know it was out of repo\ | 16:35 |
| nerdful_things | I knew that | 16:35 |
| mycoDA | ohhh, was the ppa, not from nvidia | 16:35 |
| mycoDA | phew | 16:36 |
| nerdful_things | wish i had clonezillad then... | 16:36 |
| nerdful_things | no it was direct from nvidia | 16:36 |
| mycoDA | prolly should find u that ppa | 16:36 |

| nerdful_things | well the stuff i tryed, and will try | 16:40 |
| mycoDA | what kind of display? analog? | 16:40 |
| nerdful_things | I am waiting on a gf 9900 card anyway to arrive. | 16:41 |
| nerdful_things | DLP | 16:41 |
| mycoDA | 9900?? no such thing | 16:41 |
| nerdful_things | 9800 maybe | 16:41 |
| mycoDA | how is it connected | 16:41 |
| mycoDA | 9800 and 8800 are the same thing really lol | 16:41 |
| nerdful_things | ATM as HDMI | 16:41 |
| mycoDA | g92 vs g92a | 16:41 |

| mycoDA | *easy | 16:41 |
| nerdful_things | was a BFG card | 16:41 |
| mycoDA | got sync to opengl enabled in tv options - playback? | 16:42 |

| mycoDA | Option "ConnectToAcpid" "false" | 16:51 |
| mycoDA | is another - tells it not to use powermiser so it stays at one clock freq | 16:52 |
| mycoDA | changing clock freq can be a cause of flicker | 16:52 |

| nerdful_things | OK, I had sound, then lost it, but will get it back.. I also have good video, i set vdpau to slim and it is fine. | 17:11 |
| nerdful_things | but I will probably keep getting yelled at during updates for not having a repo approved nvidia driver installed. | 17:11 |
| nerdful_things | I think I accidentally had it set to slim without vdpau. | 17:12 |
| nerdful_things | But I was working on sound, so wasn't checking... | 17:12 |
| nerdful_things_ | Ok, thanks mycoDA , I'm going to run it for awhile and clonezilla or ghost or dd it. then I'll play with using the approved nvidia stuff. | 17:15 |
| mycoDA | you shouldnt need slim - you have plenty of kick for the best one | 17:16 |
| nerdful_things_ | well, that seemd to glitch before.. | 17:16 |
| mycoDA | welcome mate | 17:16 |
| mycoDA | odd - you shouldnt have an issue with advanced2x deinterlacing | 17:16 |
| nerdful_things_ | I need to reflow my 9xxx card then try it later | 17:16 |
| mycoDA | make sure you use that composite off setting | 17:17 |
| mycoDA | may be the cause of that issue | 17:17 |
| nerdful_things_ | Hmnn maybe i'll look now... | 17:17 |
| mycoDA | also the connect to acpid thing | 17:17 |
| mycoDA | prevent it going into powersave - you can downclock it later to a stable clock that saves power | 17:18 |
| nerdful_things_ | Is that in the normal gui settings or do i have to edit some conf files? | 17:18 |
| mycoDA | xorg .conf | 17:18 |
| mycoDA | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:18 |
| nerdful_things_ | ok | 17:18 |
| mycoDA | will need to restart x | 17:20 |
| mycoDA | sudo service gdm restart | 17:20 |
| nerdful_things_ | strange | 17:22 |
| mycoDA | ? | 17:23 |
| nerdful_things_ | my machine just locked up | 17:23 |
| nerdful_things_ | i'm on the laptop | 17:23 |
| mycoDA | strange indeed | 17:23 |
| nerdful_things_ | iwasn't playing mythfrontend or anything... | 17:23 |
| nerdful_things_ | i noticed i had quit, while here on laptop | 17:23 |
| nerdful_things_ | guess i'll ssh in and reboot it | 17:24 |
| mycoDA | dont reboot | 17:24 |
| mycoDA | if u can ssh in just restart x | 17:24 |
| nerdful_things_ | it is frozen, ok, now what? | 17:24 |
| mycoDA | sudo service gdm restart | 17:24 |
| nerdful_things_ | ok | 17:24 |
| mycoDA | if that doesnt work, find gdm in ur process list and kill -9 it | 17:25 |
| nerdful_things_ | ohoh no route to host | 17:25 |
| mycoDA | wow | 17:25 |
| mycoDA | that doesnt happen often | 17:25 |
| nerdful_things_ | whole machine is frozen, alt tab even KB numlock on/off doesn't change. | 17:26 |
| mycoDA | power surge, or overheat | 17:28 |
| mycoDA | or any number of other things | 17:29 |
| mycoDA | had an issue with a gpu fan that would do that | 17:29 |
| nerdful_things_ | never had hdwr prob. | 17:29 |
| nerdful_things_ | huge fans in ps cpu | 17:29 |
| mycoDA | lol lucky you | 17:29 |
| mycoDA | this is even an aftermarket cooler zalman vf700alcu | 17:30 |
| nerdful_things_ | manual cpu fan adj at min always enough | 17:30 |
| mycoDA | may not be on a hot day or in a hot case | 17:30 |
| nerdful_things_ | HTPC case | 17:30 |
| mycoDA | and? | 17:31 |
| mycoDA | that is like saying metal case | 17:31 |
| nerdful_things_ | true | 17:32 |
| mycoDA | most htpc cases are designed for noise rather than airflow | 17:32 |
| nerdful_things_ | it's a nice silverstone case | 17:32 |
| nerdful_things_ | temps are fine, huge cpu cooler, 5" psu fan etc. | 17:33 |
| nerdful_things_ | large slow fans | 17:33 |
| nerdful_things_ | high airflow, but quiet | 17:33 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 17:35 |
| nerdful_things | Anyway, I'm going to offload any stuff here and clonezilla it to 2nd drive | 17:35 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 17:36 |
| nerdful_things | video is fine for now with vdpau slim on. | 17:36 |
| nerdful_things | Wife has tin eyes anyway | 17:36 |
| nerdful_things | Rare to find female vid/audiophile | 17:37 |
| mycoserve | rofl like lead ears eh | 17:37 |
| mycoserve | cant say i disagree there | 17:37 |
| mycoserve | no idea why | 17:37 |
| nerdful_things | but she gets upset if i put catsup on potatos... | 17:37 |
| mycoserve | srs?????? | 17:38 |
| mycoserve | i would get upset if u did that to my stirfrys or spaghetti or something, but go nuts on meat an 3 veg | 17:38 |
| nerdful_things | Hey while here, what's a good file manager for 'buntu? I would like something that would mount at will by uuid or lable etc. | 17:40 |
| mycoserve | no idea tbh | 17:40 |
| mycoserve | thunar is the standard one | 17:40 |
| mycoserve | hal should do automounting | 17:40 |
| mycoDA | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#Disabling_the_Composite_Extension is the composite thing i was talkin about - is well known u need it to get rid of judder | 17:42 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] VDPAU - MythTV Official Wiki | 17:42 |
| nerdful_things | ok, thanks mycoDA | 17:43 |
| mycoDA | np m8 | 17:43 |
| nerdful_things | I always have problems knowintg what spare drives and partitions I have in box, without doing fstab stuff etc. | 17:46 |
| mycoDA | gparted? | 18:28 |
| mycoDA | ls /dev/drive/by-uuid ? | 18:28 |
| DanC | I've got a bunch of shows recorded with mythtv, and now I'd like to get mythexport to convert them to iTunes-happy RSS+mp4. | 19:27 |
| DanC | the web configuration ui for mythexport is running, but I can't seem to get any conversion processes going | 19:27 |
| nerdful_things_ | just the stuff i'd like to know too, so i'll be lurking... | 19:31 |
| DanC | ah... progress: in Watch Recordings, navigate to a show, press M... | 19:33 |
| DanC | choose job options, and start ipod-hires-convert (which is the name I chose in the web interface) | 19:34 |
| DanC | CPU is now crunching away | 19:35 |
| DanC | fwiw: | 19:35 |
| DanC | Version table: | 19:35 |
| DanC | *** 2.2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa3 0 | 19:35 |
| DanC | 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/testing/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages | 19:35 |
| Zinn | [ppa.launchpad.net] Index of /mythbuntu/testing/ubuntu | 19:36 |
| DanC | my goal is actually to watch on a big screen, not a portable device, so I'll want higher resolution. | 19:37 |
| DanC | (I expect other family members will find iTunes much more usable than mythfrontend) | 19:37 |
| DanC | meanwhile, I think I'll try mythfrontend since I moved some things around... | 19:38 |
| mycoDA | wagnerrp made a nifty tanscode wrapper and exporter to mythvideo if you look on the mythtv wiki | 19:52 |
| mycoDA | as for mythtxport - you should be able to set upi resolutions etc and then set them to run on each showing of a show if you like | 19:52 |
| mycoDA | danc | 19:52 |
| miststlkr | for the life of me I can't seem to get the lis drivers working for lcdproc. I have tried a few walkthroughs which have you compile them from scratch and still no luck. | 20:23 |
| miststlkr | I don't suppose, by any slim chance, that someone in here has actually run into the issue personally? | 20:24 |
| DanC | yes, mycoDA, I know I should be able to set up resolutions, but choosing ffmpeg command line settings seems to involve several hours of study in video formats/codecs/etc. | 20:35 |
| DanC | and it takes hours to see whether you got it right | 20:36 |
| DanC | wow... ffmpeg has been running for >80min. The show is only about 48min. Is this normal? | 21:21 |
| DanC | " it is an extremely slow and CPU-intensive encoder. Expect the encode to take 5x longer than mpeg4 or xvid. " -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding | 21:23 |

| Jupp | newb question here, I'm trying to play mkv files, but mythtv doesn't seem to see them. what's the default location for them? | 22:02 |
