[01:45] <Phlogis> I'm trying to configure MythTV after an install of MythUbuntu 11.04 are they any good howto's to follow for backend / frontend setup?
[04:00] <adubz> phlogis its simple really
[04:00] <adubz> what tv card do you have
[04:01] <adubz> only catch is if your using hdmi audio good luck i wont be of much help at the moment as im working on getting mine working
[04:01] <adubz> i was hoping the upgrade would net something good
[04:48] <tgm4883> Anyone want to test a new feature?
[05:03] <mycosys> ?
[05:03] <mycosys> deepends what it is lo, tgm4883
[05:04] <tgm4883> mycosys, well i'm still working out a few kinks. but it's a python script that monitors for additions to mythvideo storage groups and adds it to the db and gathers metadata
[05:04] <mycosys> nice
[05:05] <mycosys> does it have the usual restrictions in that you have to name it tghe way myth devs think you should
[05:05] <mycosys> ?
[05:06] <mycosys> or does it have enough intelligence to be able to concatenate a filename, and even look in an nfo for an imdb link?
[05:07] <tgm4883> both?
[05:07] <tgm4883> so what it does is
[05:07] <tgm4883> 1) it will add it to the db no matter the filename
[05:07] <tgm4883> 2) but for metadata gathering, it will try to search on the filename and will only gather metadata if it finds one result
[05:09] <mycosys> so how is it different to jamu?
[05:09] <tgm4883> jamu uses cron
[05:10] <tgm4883> this runs all the time and uses some kernel magic to know when a file has been added or removed
[05:10] <mycosys> ahhh
[05:11] <mycosys> i dont tend to sit in mythvideo - dunno if it would be something i would notice?
[05:11] <mycosys> if it could do half intelligent recognition of files i would be very very interested
[05:24] <adubz> anyone figure out how to get hdmi sound working
[06:29] <qwebirc26607> hello out there, can you hear me?
[06:30] <qwebirc26607> My mythbuntu used to record tv shows in .mpg, but now its doing in some .nuv format, does anyone know how I can get my mpgs back?
[06:31] <tgm4883> qwebirc26607, you need to setup your video card properly in mythtv-setup
[06:31] <tgm4883> you set it up as a V4L card, not a mpeg card
[06:31] <qwebirc26607> so I set it up as a mpeg card?
[06:32] <tgm4883> what card do you have?
[06:33] <qwebirc26607> a hippagagauge something or another...I built it 4 years ago the name escapes me
[06:34] <tgm4883> yea you need to set that up as an mpeg (pvr) card
[06:34] <tgm4883> not a v4l card
[06:35] <qwebirc26607> ok lol its a hauppauge wintv pvr-150
[06:36] <qwebirc26607> set it up as mjpeg caputre card (matrox g200, dc10)????????
[06:36] <tgm4883> no
[06:37] <tgm4883> sec
[06:37] <tgm4883> one more to the right
[06:37] <tgm4883> ivtv mpeg-2 encoder card
[06:37] <qwebirc26607> oh gotcha!
[06:39] <qwebirc26607> this is what happens when I Go out trying to improve things, I Mess up what was already working :-(
[06:39] <tgm4883> well the good news is that is an easy fix
[06:39] <qwebirc26607> thank you for the advice, I think I got her straightened out now
[06:39] <tgm4883> that is good news, cause I'm going to go make dinner :)
[06:40] <qwebirc26607> let me ask you one more quick question while I have somebody willing to talk to me
[06:40] <qwebirc26607> if you have a sec
[06:40] <tgm4883> shoot
[06:40] <qwebirc26607> is it possible to remove commercials entirely from a recording, and to automate said process
[06:41] <tgm4883> Yes, although I'm not sure I'd want to automate it
[06:41] <tgm4883> the commflagging is good, but it's not perfect
[06:42] <tgm4883> You will want to research mythexport for that, or bug rhpot1991 when he is around
[06:42] <qwebirc26607> yea thats what I have been using for years, but I want to save space on my hard drive and make them watchable in windows media player without commercials
[06:43] <qwebirc26607> can you point me the right direction, how do you remove the commercials altogether, what is that process called?
[06:45] <qwebirc26607> oh gotcha, missed the message, ty much
[06:45] <qwebirc26607> enjoy diner

[22:37] <peteforsyth> howdy..I'm trying to set up a mythtv system with a hauppauge pvr-150, and need help.
[22:37] <peteforsyth> anybody able to help me figure out what's going on? the immediate issue is, somehow the frontend is not seeing the backend (even though it's the same system).
[22:47] <tgm4883> peteforsyth, is the backend running?
[22:48] <tgm4883> BTW, I'll be leaving in a few minutes
[22:48] <tgm4883> but I can help until my ride gets here
[22:48] <peteforsyth> thanks tgm4883 -- i'm getting some help in #mythtv-users
[22:48] <tgm4883> ok
[22:48] <peteforsyth> and no, it's not -- not sure why, but working on it :)
[22:48] <peteforsyth> thanks
