[13:45] hi guys [13:45] does anyone know how to force a device to be detected and given a certain /dev/dbv/... entry [13:46] i have a dual port DVB-S card and a dual port DVB-t card, and each reboot they keey swapping adapter numbers [13:49] 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] better worded :P [16:19] ok, im having problems wathcing content live on a remote frontend [16:19] i can watch recordings ok, but live tv fails to open the file [16:19] 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] having checked the folder, that file doesnt exist [16:20] the date/time is the same on the fe and be, they access the same folder mapped via cifs [16:20] its local to the backend, and cifs mapped to the frontend [16:22] and from my previous question, adding "options modulename adatper_nr=X" for each module to /etc/modprobe.d/options fixes it [16:23] live content works fine on the backend btw [16:25] ok checking the logs, if i watch live tv on the backend system, the file is created, [16:25] from the frontend however, it tries playing a file which is never created in the livetv folder [16:28] TandyUK: you don't need to cifs mount for recordings or live tv [16:28] storage groups should have you covered [16:29] unless you aren't using them for some crazy reason [17:15] hey guys, anyone around here manage the launchpad bug reporting system for mythbuntu? [17:16] 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] the mythbuntu devs do [17:16] bug number? [17:16] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/715548 [17:16] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #715548 in mythtv (Ubuntu): “Mythtv frontend crashes playing ISO in storage group” [17:16] http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9844 [17:17] heh - Zinn, how'd you know? :) [17:17] Hi skd5aner, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [17:17] ah, well... that'd be how [17:17] tgm4883: at least, I think it's a dupe [17:18] skd5aner, ok, so the workaround is to have .iso in lower case? [17:18] in my case yes, I suspect the same for the other guy [17:19] 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] I'll attach the bug report in a comment and ask for verification [17:20] 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 [17:21] 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 [18:39] rhpot1991: everying is recording into a group called 'default' [18:40] TandyUK, yes [18:41] so is there any need for a remote frontend to have its folder mapped [18:41] currently i have a backend system which is also a fileserver, /data/mythtv is my root folder, and is symlinked to /var/lib/mythtv [18:42] my remote frontend has /data mapped via cifs [18:42] TandyUK, no? [18:42] and also has /var/lib/mythtv symlinked to it [18:42] If there is a storage group available for the media type, it will stream without outside mapping [18:42] ah i must have been reading old documentation or smth then [18:42] eg. recordings, videos, etc [18:42] ok, how do i add movies etc to these storage groups then? [18:43] IIRC, music and pictures aren't storage group compatible yet [18:43] ah right so mythmovie has already done it [18:43] ah i see [18:43] so i only really need to map the music folder [18:43] you add the video to the storage group directory [18:43] so the path in the db is valid on both hosts [19:25] 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/ [19:26] currently /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ even [19:29] TandyUK, you don't need to configure the frontend [19:29] yeah im just reading http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo [19:29] [www.mythtv.org] MythVideo - MythTV [19:29] seems i just need to inconfigure it all :P [19:30] unconfigure* :) [19:32] I don't see where on that page it tells you to configure the frontend if you are using storage groups [19:36] exactly :P [19:36] so im removing all the config i did, and guess what, its working :P [19:36] next question is how do i have multiple sotrage groups for movies, [19:36] eg, movies and porn browseable seperately [19:42] separatly [19:42] hmm [19:42] probably though parental controls [19:43] 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] couple ways to handle that, depending on the desired outcome [19:47] well its not for parental stuff lol [19:47] but it would be nice to have a different menu option to go to depending what was wanted [19:47] i already have it in its own storage group [19:48] does mythvideo actually look for a "Videos" storage group, or is it more complex than that? [20:05] IDK, the backend provides a list of available videos [20:06] the backend looks at the directories set up as video storage groups [20:06] from a mythvideo standpoint, it's just asking the backend for video [20:21] yeah it just formats it as "storage groups" [20:22] so i might just create ahigher level folder, so we get a choice between movies, music videos, tv series, porn, and so on
