[01:38] greetings, I've been changing drives and recordings I put intp my new myth build from the backup drive are not seen in my recordings menu. Recordings being made now are ok. I brought over all files of each title. [01:41] Do I have to do some database command for the system to see them? [01:46] OK, I think, I see some info in the forums... [01:48] Darn, link is empty. [01:54] OK, I son't really need them in the myth system if I can watch on VLC. The problem is VLC will open the recording, but does not play, it justs shows the first moment of the video as a still. The play button shows as pause as though it is playing, but the image is frozen to the first frame. [01:55] I get this in the vlc term window: libdvbpsi error (PSI decoder): TS discontinuity (received 3, expected 13) for PID 5632. [02:02] nerdful_things, ok, one thing at a time [02:03] you brought recordings from an old drive and copied them onto a drive in your new mythtv system [02:03] yes [02:03] did you restore the database from your old mythtv install? [02:03] no, this is a virgin install [02:03] right, but the recordings from your old mythtv system [02:04] the database from that mythtv install, did you back it up? [02:05] No, I just copied the recording folder over. NM, I don't really need to restore them, as most will be delete3d after I review them. [02:05] what directory did you copy them into? [02:06] The bottom line is I am juggling stuff to make drive space and free up a spare drive. [02:06] I copied the .mpg, .idx, and i forget the other from the backup to the var/lib/mythtv/recordings. [02:07] do you still have your old mythtv install? [02:07] I'd just like to play them on VLC for now, just to review and delete. Usually VLC works well. [02:08] ok, so mythtv isn't going to see those recordings without them being in the database [02:08] VLC should play them, so if it's not this isn't really the place to get VLC support [02:09] Ok, let's back up.. (And thanks for helping, btw)... I just made a virgin install from the livecd. I put in all my channels, tweaked the desktop, etc. I wanted to backup the partition to a split file using Clonezilla, etc for a custom install on various boxes. [02:10] I had recordings stored on backup drives, and just wanted to have clean drives to image to. [02:11] So I now don't really care about playing them in myth now that it is more than a folder or permissions thing... [02:13] The VLC is puzzling, as it never gives a problem. At the moment, I was looking for Handbrake in the synaptic repo, to shrink any old recordings to archives if any are worth saving. [02:15] Before clogging up my new myth install (Only 5.6GB) with something like "the wedding" for the wife tomorrow, I wanted to have a custom clone to re-install later on other machines.. [02:16] Pointing me to Handbrake, or even some ffmpg scripts is all I need now... [02:17] Figured I'd put any important recordings on my rooted Nook android. [02:19] I don't recall if handbrake is in the official repos or not. I run the daily build from a ppa [02:20] https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa [02:20] [launchpad.net] PPA for HandBrake Ubuntu Packagers : âHandBrake Ubuntu Packagersâ team [02:20] https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots [02:20] [launchpad.net] HandBrake Snapshots : John Stebbins [02:20] I use the second one [02:21] I just saw this: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2100... but I will now read your advice, thanks! [02:21] [www.jonathanmoeller.com] Install Handbrake On Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat » Help Desk Screeds [02:22] guess the bot knows about it... [02:23] I love handbrake on my PCLinuxOS laptop to process stuff for the Nook color. [02:25] * Patrickdk installs an iscsi root frontend [02:25] tgm4883 - not for me but is the an 'official' ppa other than mainline through which one could get an updated kernel for lucid? [02:25] ie get the natty kernel? [02:26] mycoDA, IIRC there is a kernel backport PPA [02:26] I forgot I had jumped all those hoops to put handbrake on the install I just wrote over... [02:26] somebody on overclockers.com.au wanted to know [02:27] had epic argument with newb over me saying i liked my HID remote kb/mouse emulator yesterday [02:28] turns out he hated HID cos he was trying to run XBMD and mythfrontend at the same time [02:28] XBMC would grab the keypresses [02:28] why someone argue that you like something of yours? [02:28] oh [02:28] some other newb asked what remotes people were using and i linked to it [02:29] hey mycoDA [02:29] saying in the post that it is what _I_ use and most people would recommend mce USB [02:29] yars? [02:29] wern't you helping me other day. [02:29] rings a bell lol [02:29] I found sound fix. [02:29] ahhhhhhh [02:30] sorry - giving up smokes - head is a fog [02:30] remember it was alsa issues on an nvidia mobo, forget which specific issues [02:30] re-install, (which I wanted to do anyway to make a clone copy), and found out some weird hoops to jump to get alsa running on optical. [02:31] Let me look at my notes, just FYI... [02:31] nforce specific hoops? [02:32] Ok, install myth 10.10 a64 from live cd, install my HDHomerun etc. etc. Now th sound... [02:33] audio out device: alsa:default [02:34] 5.1, best upconv, [02:34] dig out dev:default, dolby, dfs checked. [02:34] oops dts. [02:35] go to desktop launch, to multimedia, mixer [02:36] select playback controls master, pcm. [02:37] you didnt unmute it did you [02:37] also iec958 playback ac97-spsa,eec...pb source. [02:37] i told you to unmute it [02:37] wait, it gets better... [02:37] cept i said use alsamixer [02:39] playback pots: master, mid, pcm mid, ac97-apsa pot DOWN TO ZERO....options:iec958 pb source pcm. [02:40] # after sound ok, I removed all but master pots, and sound stayed ok... [02:40] I found the pot to zero glitch, after much forum reading and hair loss. [02:41] Now I want to back up my entire virgin partition, which is now at only 3.6GB. [02:41] lulwut???? [02:42] yeah, you have to put the iec pot down to zero, then the receiver bursts into life. [02:44] I was going to throw handbrake in now, but forgot all about the ppa process I totally have forgotten. [02:45] Soon my virgin install is going to be polluted with wedding tomorrow... [02:45] I couldn't find space to clone it... [02:48] time to reboot an add some more ram methinks [03:26] So, any tips on archiving my mythtv "recordings" with Handbrake? Mine are mostly 1080 from HDHomerun. [14:46] I just installed Mythbuntu 10.06 (or something) updated to 11.*** and now, I run the setup, but it fails where it should be coming into the graphical setup portion... Anyone help me out????? [14:46] and Hi ppl [14:48] Is there maybe a way to force the graphical portion... (It's the part where you specify your card and stuff) [14:48] delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:48] what video card? [14:49] and - i would have stuck with 10.04 - it is a long term support release [14:49] shallsee - what video card are you using [14:50] eh, most of us devs run latest and greatest so lts is over rated [14:50] I'm thinking I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro [14:50] with a Hauppage tuner [14:50] Is it actually to do with X??? [14:51] like, that seems strange... It's the setup, not running on after it does that database stuff [14:52] it runs mythfilldatabase, then just sits there doing nothing [14:52] your video card WILL cause you issues [14:52] if you can get it to work at all with myth [14:52] what does it do if it doesn't work??? [14:52] i dont think the proprietary Driver will work with an antique like that [14:53] and even the proprietary driver has issues [14:53] I've had this box running linux mint prior [14:53] so? [14:53] tmkt, You reacon that'll do the trick? [14:53] what is its cpu? [14:53] it wont shellsee [14:54] your gpu is not going to play nice with myth - save yourself much pain [14:54] what is your cpu? [14:54] what is your tuner? [14:57] I got a P4, 3.0, Hauppage tuner, with a ATI Radeon 256 Mb Vid card [14:57] what tuner? [14:57] HD or SD tuner? [14:57] the p4 MIGHT be enough [14:57] HD [14:57] ya thats borderline good enough for HD [14:57] should be ok then with digital [14:57] and even, just want the box as a box [14:57] I'm not worried about HD [14:57] lulwut???? [14:58] the hd question is more about analog or digital [14:58] ShallSee: so you get to the installer and it hangs at the graphics portion? [14:58] I'm just wanting to see it work [14:58] Yea [14:58] it just sits there [14:58] if you had a cheap framegrabber analog it would not be a good enough cpu [14:59] do you have an onboard intel gpu? [14:59] if so, ditch the radeon [14:59] (I can feel the need for me to reinstall the setup again, just to try it again) [14:59] Radeon is fine... It's a Pro... [14:59] it should cope with you just pulling the ati, this isnt windows [14:59] it sint fine [15:00] radeon drivers for linux are junk, and it is nearly a decade old [15:00] Hence why it's pro... Legacy is good shit [15:00] ShallSee: Please watch your language. [15:00] Nice bot... :D [15:00] huh???? [15:00] RADEON DRIVERS FOR LINUX ARE JUNK [15:01] there aRE NONE BEING WORked on for that antique [15:01] IT WONT WORK IN WINDOWS VISTA OR 7 EITHER [15:01] WHY WOULD IT WORK IN MYTH??? [15:01] I'm not trying to setup for Windows 7???? [15:01] ffs [15:01] It's a backend... [15:01] PULL IT OUT [15:02] use nvidia or intel [15:02] ati is a showstopper for myth, esp on the open source drivers [15:02] The box is planned as a backend... [15:03] so no issue with having intel gfx then [15:03] you realise you want decent cpu power on a backend - it doesnt just sit there doing nothing? [15:04] the database work, scheduling and commercial flagging are not lightweight [15:04] You realise that I don't want HD, I don't need all the functions that are included... I merely need it set up [15:05] you realise that ATI doesnt work [15:05] and nothing i talked about had anything to do with HD [15:05] ShallSee: does the box have onboard video? [15:05] No [15:05] the only reason you got asked about HD is your machine is too pathetic to handle most SD analog cards [15:06] do you have an old nvidia card hanging around, even a ruddy tnt? [15:06] * ShallSee is aware of the ATI Issues with linux, But I have a card that IS supported... [15:07] the only reason it can handle recording digital is it doesnt have to do any encoding [15:07] how can you have a card that is supported? it isnt [15:07] I'm only wanting it for the fact that the card, picks up satelite... [15:07] I know how to install the card, I'm not a brand new user [15:07] so? [15:08] So???? You been flaming the entire time I'm in here [15:08] myth doesnt work with the open source ati drivers [15:08] i have not been flaming - you have been condascending toward somebody trying to help you [15:08] I'm sure I seen it asking to install the AMD drivers... [15:08] who has been using *nix for 20 years [15:08] and who has tried what you are trying [15:09] I'm hesitant to accept your help as the nature of your pursueing of this issue, is confrontational [15:09] it didnt start that way [15:09] It's also Biased, as would anyone who knows about Nvida, ati and inux... [15:09] would be,. [15:10] tell ya what - PLEASE go knock urself out [15:10] have fun [15:10] I will... [15:10] get it working - i am sure you are able [15:11] you will probably have better luck using x forwarding to run mythtv setup [15:11] from a machine with working opengl [15:11] mythbackend doesnt need x running at all to run [15:14] * rhpot1991 tells everyone to calm down [15:33] ShallSee: I'd say so...can't hurt [15:33] mv xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak [15:33] and reboot [15:36] ShallSee, check if you have fglrx installed from the upgrade [15:37] you shouldn't, but if you do it doesn't work w/ the 9600 [15:37] so removing it should hopefully take care of your problem [15:38] Currently, I'm reinstalling, and keeping to the 10 rather than updating [15:39] sorry i got so animated - quitting smoking, and was trying to save you a painful experience that i went through too [15:40] have quite a few o those cards, fortunately also have others lol [15:40] oddly, the intel 915 outperforms the 9600pro [15:41] just PLEASE dont waste too much time on that ruddy card - your time is worth more than that [21:42] Hi all. I have a question about the Android remote support. Is there an official MythBuntu app somewhere? [21:43] i.e. what is new about this? There is has been a mythtv remote app in the android market for years already. [21:43] jdeslip, no, I don't think there is an official mythtv app either [21:43] IIRC, there are qr codes to install it in MCC now [21:44] tgm4883: Is that it? Just qr code that links to the market? [21:44] jdeslip, Perhaps, I didn't code that bit so I'm unsure [21:44] superm1, ^ [21:47] yeah that's what it is [21:47] just raises visibility of what's there [22:19] superm1: Ah ok. I was hoping it was something more exciting like a new API for remotes in MythTV or something. [22:20] I'm interested in an http based by API that lets you also view things like the video collection/recordings etc... [22:22] jdeslip, doesn't one of the apps already do that? [22:22] mythdroid I think [22:44] How stable is the 64 bit build of Mythbuntu? I've been using it since I built my new computer, and I've had nothing but problems. I'm wondering if it's my hardware or just the software. [22:46] zuixro, I've run it without issues for multiple years [22:47] tgm4883, I've been running it for about a month, and I've been strugling to get the backend stable. I had it running fine for a bit, but then it just decided to stop working. [22:51] zuixro, logs? [22:52] Here's a complete session that ran for a couple of hours: http://pastebin.com/1htvWTRM [22:52] [pastebin.com] 2011-04-29 08:52:44.228 mythbackend version: fixes/0.24 [v0.24-250-g56c54fa] www - Pastebin.com [22:53] I also have a "verbose all" log from a session that lasted a couple of minutes. I'll post it in a minute [22:55] Erm... Turns out it's 23MB, which I think is too big for pastebin [22:58] Ok, it broke pastebin, but here's a link to it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/409453/mythbackend.log [23:03] tgm4883: I didn't even know mythdroid existed since it is not on the market yet.
