[13:45] <TandyUK> hi guys
[13:45] <TandyUK> does anyone know how to force a device to be detected and given a certain /dev/dbv/... entry
[13:46] <TandyUK> i have a dual port DVB-S card and a dual port DVB-t card, and each reboot they keey swapping adapter numbers
[13:49] <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
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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
[16:22] <TandyUK> and from my previous question, adding "options modulename adatper_nr=X" for each module to /etc/modprobe.d/options fixes it
[16:23] <TandyUK> live content works fine on the backend btw
[16:25] <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
[16:28] <rhpot1991> TandyUK: you don't need to cifs mount for recordings or live tv
[16:28] <rhpot1991> storage groups should have you covered
[16:29] <rhpot1991> unless you aren't using them for some crazy reason
[17:15] <skd5aner> hey guys, anyone around here manage the launchpad bug reporting system for mythbuntu?
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <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
[18:39] <TandyUK> rhpot1991: everying is recording into a group called 'default'
[18:40] <tgm4883> TandyUK, yes
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <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?
[18:43] <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
[19:25] <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/
[19:26] <TandyUK> currently /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ even
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <TandyUK> unconfigure* :)
[19:32] <tgm4883> I don't see where on that page it tells you to configure the frontend if you are using storage groups
[19:36] <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
[19:42] <tgm4883> separatly
[19:42] <tgm4883> hmm
[19:42] <tgm4883> probably though parental controls
[19:43] <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
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <TandyUK> does mythvideo actually look for a "Videos" storage group, or is it more complex than that?
[20:05] <tgm4883> IDK, the backend provides a list of available videos
[20:06] <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
[20:21] <TandyUK> yeah it just formats it as "storage groups"
[20:22] <TandyUK> so i might just create ahigher level folder, so we get a choice between movies, music videos, tv series, porn, and so on
