| TandyUK | hi guys | 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| TandyUK | does anyone know how to force a device to be detected and given a certain /dev/dbv/... entry | 13:45 |
| TandyUK | i have a dual port DVB-S card and a dual port DVB-t card, and each reboot they keey swapping adapter numbers | 13:46 |
| TandyUK | how do i force a device to be detected and given a specific entry in /dev/..., I have a dual port DVB-S card which has /dev/dvb/adapterX/frontend0 and frontend1, and a dual port DVB-T card which shows up as /dev/dvb/adapterY/frontend0 and adaptorZ/frontend0. Each reboot the numbers assigned for X Y and Z keep switching around | 13:49 |
| TandyUK | better worded :P | 13:49 |
| TandyUK | ok, im having problems wathcing content live on a remote frontend | 16:19 |
| TandyUK | i can watch recordings ok, but live tv fails to open the file | 16:19 |
| TandyUK | 2011-06-15 16:15:53.708 RingBuf(/var/lib/mythtv/livetv/1002_20110615161551.mpg) Warning: Taking too long to be allowed to read.. | 16:19 |
| TandyUK | having checked the folder, that file doesnt exist | 16:19 |
| TandyUK | the date/time is the same on the fe and be, they access the same folder mapped via cifs | 16:20 |
| TandyUK | its local to the backend, and cifs mapped to the frontend | 16:20 |
| TandyUK | and from my previous question, adding "options modulename adatper_nr=X" for each module to /etc/modprobe.d/options fixes it | 16:22 |
| TandyUK | live content works fine on the backend btw | 16:23 |
| TandyUK | ok checking the logs, if i watch live tv on the backend system, the file is created, | 16:25 |
| TandyUK | from the frontend however, it tries playing a file which is never created in the livetv folder | 16:25 |
| rhpot1991 | TandyUK: you don't need to cifs mount for recordings or live tv | 16:28 |
| rhpot1991 | storage groups should have you covered | 16:28 |
| rhpot1991 | unless you aren't using them for some crazy reason | 16:29 |
| skd5aner | hey guys, anyone around here manage the launchpad bug reporting system for mythbuntu? | 17:15 |
| skd5aner | I've got a bug that I submitted to mythtv's trac system that appears to be a fix for a bug also reported on the launchpad page - figured someone might want to close it as it was submitted upstream and fixed | 17:16 |
| tgm4883 | the mythbuntu devs do | 17:16 |
| tgm4883 | bug number? | 17:16 |
| skd5aner | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/715548 | 17:16 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #715548 in mythtv (Ubuntu): “Mythtv frontend crashes playing ISO in storage group” | 17:16 |
| skd5aner | http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9844 | 17:16 |
| skd5aner | heh - Zinn, how'd you know? :) | 17:17 |
| Zinn | Hi skd5aner, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 17:17 |
| skd5aner | ah, well... that'd be how | 17:17 |
| skd5aner | tgm4883: at least, I think it's a dupe | 17:17 |
| tgm4883 | skd5aner, ok, so the workaround is to have .iso in lower case? | 17:18 |
| skd5aner | in my case yes, I suspect the same for the other guy | 17:18 |
| skd5aner | markk has already commited a fix in master, I've asked if he'll backport to -fixes, but has not yet as I just reported back to him | 17:19 |
| tgm4883 | I'll attach the bug report in a comment and ask for verification | 17:19 |
| skd5aner | yea... good idea. I am getting some segfaults on a few of my isos, so it could be an unrelated issue, but would be good if that guy could check and see if the lower case extensions resolve his issue | 17:20 |
| skd5aner | I had seen some people talk about similiar issues on the ubuntu forums (via google searches) - so if you guys see this come up, might want to remember the workaround or wait until it's backported and tell people to upgrade to latest fixes | 17:21 |
| TandyUK | rhpot1991: everying is recording into a group called 'default' | 18:39 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, yes | 18:40 |
| TandyUK | so is there any need for a remote frontend to have its folder mapped | 18:41 |
| TandyUK | currently i have a backend system which is also a fileserver, /data/mythtv is my root folder, and is symlinked to /var/lib/mythtv | 18:41 |
| TandyUK | my remote frontend has /data mapped via cifs | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, no? | 18:42 |
| TandyUK | and also has /var/lib/mythtv symlinked to it | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | If there is a storage group available for the media type, it will stream without outside mapping | 18:42 |
| TandyUK | ah i must have been reading old documentation or smth then | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | eg. recordings, videos, etc | 18:42 |
| TandyUK | ok, how do i add movies etc to these storage groups then? | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC, music and pictures aren't storage group compatible yet | 18:43 |
| TandyUK | ah right so mythmovie has already done it | 18:43 |
| TandyUK | ah i see | 18:43 |
| TandyUK | so i only really need to map the music folder | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | you add the video to the storage group directory | 18:43 |
| TandyUK | so the path in the db is valid on both hosts | 18:43 |
| TandyUK | tgm4883, so how do i set up storage groups properly.. i have created groups on the backend, now i am on a frontend in settings->videos settings, and it asks me for "directories that hold videos", which is currently /var/lib/mythtv/ | 19:25 |
| TandyUK | currently /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ even | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, you don't need to configure the frontend | 19:29 |
| TandyUK | yeah im just reading http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo | 19:29 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythVideo - MythTV | 19:29 |
| TandyUK | seems i just need to inconfigure it all :P | 19:29 |
| TandyUK | unconfigure* :) | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | I don't see where on that page it tells you to configure the frontend if you are using storage groups | 19:32 |
| TandyUK | exactly :P | 19:36 |
| TandyUK | so im removing all the config i did, and guess what, its working :P | 19:36 |
| TandyUK | next question is how do i have multiple sotrage groups for movies, | 19:36 |
| TandyUK | eg, movies and porn browseable seperately | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | separatly | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | probably though parental controls | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | or you mount a local vid directory on the frontends you want that. It will show up differnetly in the frontend but you could still get to it | 19:43 |
| tgm4883 | couple ways to handle that, depending on the desired outcome | 19:43 |
| TandyUK | well its not for parental stuff lol | 19:47 |
| TandyUK | but it would be nice to have a different menu option to go to depending what was wanted | 19:47 |
| TandyUK | i already have it in its own storage group | 19:47 |
| TandyUK | does mythvideo actually look for a "Videos" storage group, or is it more complex than that? | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | IDK, the backend provides a list of available videos | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | the backend looks at the directories set up as video storage groups | 20:06 |
| tgm4883 | from a mythvideo standpoint, it's just asking the backend for video | 20:06 |
| TandyUK | yeah it just formats it as "storage groups" | 20:21 |
| TandyUK | so i might just create ahigher level folder, so we get a choice between movies, music videos, tv series, porn, and so on | 20:22 |
