[00:40] <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.
[00:48] <nerdful_things> Something like get to mysql prompt and reset database somehow?
[00:54] <nerdful_things> couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9
[00:56] <nerdful_things> not sure if that breaks me trying to do .24
[01:16] <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.
[01:32] <nerdful_things> NM, thinks working, ick, all my channels gone...
[12:33] <nerdful_things> !help

[13:57] <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
[14:07] <mycoDA> hey dude
[14:07] <mycoDA> follow the instructions on adding the ppa
[14:08] <nerdful_things> I did but that was last night.
[14:08] <mycoDA> well you didnt do it right
[14:09] <mycoDA> is totally wrong
[14:09] <mycoDA> http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick release
[14:09] <mycoDA> which ppa????
[14:11] <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.
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <nerdful_things> mysql.txt, in etc, and user seem ok
[14:14] <nerdful_things> but fe can't login to be unless I use localhost stuff
[14:15] <nerdful_things> running mythfrontend in term I see empty hostname, but my prompt in term shows my box.
[14:16] <nerdful_things> mycoDA, to answer your question, .24ppa
[14:18] <nerdful_things> I may have missed some config file to set my ip and database PW it seems.
[14:19] <nerdful_things> could someone list the conf files I should check, such as /.mythtv/mysql.txt, etc?
[14:21] <nerdful_things> I tried the bind-address (used to be skip networking), etc
[14:22] <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.
[14:23] <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.
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <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.
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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.
[14:31] <mycoDA> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore
[14:31] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Database Backup and Restore - MythTV Official Wiki
[14:31] <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.
[14:32] <mycoDA> you could even have told it not to upgrade the database on the other machine, no i dea why you let it
[14:33] <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..
[14:34] <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???
[14:35] <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.

[14:36] <nerdful_things_> The original complaint was wrong schema anyway.
[14:36] <nerdful_things_> I don't have anything to restore from'
[14:37] <nerdful_things> well I do, but its from .23 in december
[14:37]  * nerdful_things reads wiki
[14:38] <nerdful_things> ooh, the hostname part looks interesting
[14:44] <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
[14:48] <nerdful_things> probly need mysql prompt...
[14:54] <nerdful_things> hmnn hosts.allow is an item of interest
[15:09] <nerdful_things> glad I didn't change that, just found problem...
[15:10] <nerdful_things> port 6543 was blank in setup. The prompt said "don't change" so I assumed it was blank.
[15:11] <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.'
[15:13] <nerdful_things> VDPAU and stuff look good for video, I had to use nvidia driver from nvidia site, and the upgrade left that intact.
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <nerdful_things> checking alsa setup again...
[15:16] <mycoDA> will need to set it to the appropriate output
[15:48] <mycoDA> gettin anywhere?
[15:50] <nerdful_things> just connected analog
[15:50] <nerdful_things> sound ok
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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
[15:53] <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
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <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
[15:57] <mycoDA> make sure the amp is on digital in of course lol
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <nerdful_things> where do you see "detect?
[16:00] <nerdful_things> oh, wait...
[16:02] <nerdful_things> no, not in frontend/setup/audio systems  the usual dolby, dts stuff is there and checked
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <nerdful_things> to:
[16:05] <nerdful_things> it wants alsa:default
[16:06] <nerdful_things> oh it just popped up 804...
[16:07] <mycoDA> you want it to be the one with iec958 in it
[16:07] <mycoDA> or spdif i spose
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <nerdful_things> nforce something
[16:10] <mycoDA> AMD both of em

[16:11] <nerdful_things> fergot, circa 2004 3.x a64
[16:11] <mycoDA> wow, so single core socket 478?
[16:11] <mycoDA> or 939?
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <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.
[16:15] <mycoDA> ewwwwwww
[16:15] <nerdful_things> oops I'm tytping on my dragon, the vista box has MCE in it which vudu, netflix require.
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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
[16:19] <mycoDA> ahhh
[16:19] <mycoDA> next time remember one database per network
[16:19] <mycoDA> shouldnt impair you to make a slave backend
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <nerdful_things> Yeah, I never intended for the PCLinuxOS myth master BE to get away from me
[16:21] <mycoDA> sara?
[16:22] <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...

[16:23] <Zinn> Hi nerdful_things, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
[16:24] <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?????
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <nerdful_things> speaker-test 1.0.23
[16:26] <nerdful_things> Playback device is iec958
[16:26] <nerdful_things> Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels

[16:26] <nerdful_things> hmnn
[16:27] <mycoDA> sorry my fault
[16:27] <mycoDA> doesnt do dts
[16:27] <mycoDA> speaker-test -c 2 -D iec958 -t wav
[16:29] <nerdful_things> it thinks it is testing...
[16:29] <nerdful_things> no sound or dolby light
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <mycoDA> check s/pdif isnt muted in there
[16:33] <mycoDA> well answer the qs i asked before
[16:33] <nerdful_things> ?
[16:33] <mycoDA> what gpu? what playback profile
[16:34] <nerdful_things> its a card that was not likely to work, but the driver fixed it.. geforce 8800gt i think
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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

[16:40] <nerdful_things> thanks
[16:40] <mycoDA> there is good stuff??
[16:40] <nerdful_things> well the stuff i tryed, and will try
[16:40] <mycoDA> what kind of display? analog?
[16:41] <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> hdmi should be east
[16:41] <mycoDA> *easy
[16:41] <nerdful_things> was a BFG card
[16:42] <mycoDA> got sync to opengl enabled in tv options - playback?
[16:42] <nerdful_things> One in now was just temporary, but the nvidia driver got it running ok with vdpau.

[17:11] <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.
[17:12] <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...
[17:15] <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.
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:20] <mycoDA> will need to restart x
[17:20] <mycoDA> sudo service gdm restart
[17:22] <nerdful_things_> strange
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <nerdful_things_> whole machine is frozen, alt tab even KB numlock on/off doesn't change.
[17:28] <mycoDA> power surge, or overheat
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <mycoDA> and?
[17:31] <mycoDA> that is like saying metal case
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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
[17:35] <mycoDA> fair one
[17:35] <nerdful_things> Anyway, I'm going to offload any stuff here and clonezilla it to 2nd drive
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <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...
[17:38] <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
[17:40] <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
[17:42] <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

[17:43] <nerdful_things> ok, thanks mycoDA
[17:43] <mycoDA> np m8
[17:46] <nerdful_things> I always have problems knowintg what spare drives and partitions I have in box, without doing fstab stuff etc.
[18:28] <mycoDA> gparted?
[18:28] <mycoDA> ls /dev/drive/by-uuid ?
[19:27] <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
[19:31] <nerdful_things_> just the stuff i'd like to know too, so i'll be lurking...
[19:33] <DanC> ah... progress: in Watch Recordings, navigate to a show, press M...
[19:34] <DanC> choose job options, and start ipod-hires-convert (which is the name I chose in the web interface)
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <Zinn> [ppa.launchpad.net] Index of /mythbuntu/testing/ubuntu
[19:37] <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)
[19:38] <DanC> meanwhile, I think I'll try mythfrontend since I moved some things around...
[19:52] <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
[20:23] <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.
[20:24] <miststlkr> I don't suppose, by any slim chance, that someone in here has actually run into the issue personally?
[20:35] <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.
[20:36] <DanC> and it takes hours to see whether you got it right
[21:21] <DanC> wow... ffmpeg has been running for >80min. The show is only about 48min. Is this normal?

[22:02] <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?
