[00:02] <qwebirc82658> I'm setting up my server (500 gb hdd,3 1tb hdd evga sli le, evga 250 HD, haupauge 2250, i7 - 930 and 6 gigs of memory) it will serve up 2 TB of hd movies and of couse the backend service. whats the dificulty level of setting up the 2250
[00:03] <superm1> dekarl: okay with both of those two patches, this seems to work for me now: https://github.com/superm1/packaging
[00:03] <Zinn> [github.com] superm1/packaging - GitHub
[00:03] <superm1> basically call packaging/deb/build-debs.sh fixes/0.24 DIRECTORY_TO_BUILD_IN /full/path/to/patch
[00:03] <superm1> if that works for you, i'll submit a merge request for that
[00:04] <superm1> and then the workflow can be be far simpler
[00:04] <superm1> and if someone doesn't want to build locally, they can still follow that, but build dsc's instead and dput them to a PPA or something
[00:04] <superm1> which will make our system to link a PPA to a little web ui more do-able too
[00:14] <dekarl> I'll try it tomorrow night (past 1am over here)
[00:38] <qwebirc82658> im setting up mythubuntu now (backend only) so i guess ill find out shortly :)
[14:43] <ahhughez> how am I supposed to be able to browse a video collection/directory with mythtv... I tried adding /blah/videos to the video's group but it just said no files found
[14:50] <tgm4883> ahhughez, does the mythtv user have access to /blah/videos?
[14:50] <tgm4883> ahhughez, is /blah/videos inside your home directory?
[14:52] <ahhughez> the dir is drwxrwxrwx
[14:52] <tgm4883> is it in your home directory?
[14:52] <ahhughez> since its ntfs I think thats all it can have (I think, but this is besides the point)
[14:53] <ahhughez> no its acutally a mounted hdd on /media/hdd-1tb
[14:53] <tgm4883> what kinda files are they?
[14:53] <ahhughez> various avi's, mpg...
[14:53] <tgm4883> and you scanned for changes?
[14:53] <ahhughez> no
[14:54] <tgm4883> ah
[14:54] <tgm4883> so in mythvideo, you need to scan for changes
[14:54] <ahhughez> is mythvideo part of the backend ui?
[14:54] <tgm4883> it's in the popup menu, M on the keyboard
[14:54] <tgm4883> no, frontend
[14:54] <tgm4883> on the winmce remote, it's the green win key
[14:55] <ahhughez> cool, that picked them up for me
[14:56] <ahhughez> I have to say tho (and pretty immediately) browse by ***** options are horrible. I need browse by filesystem and its not on there :'(
[14:58] <ahhughez> it's way to late here. thanks tgm4883 - I will call that a win never the less :)
[18:12] <superm1> dekarl: well i got my stuff merged in for allowing a patch off the packaging branch
[18:13] <dekarl> I saw it getting merge like 5 minutes after I kicked off the build
[18:22] <superm1> i updated the recipe here too: http://mythbuntu.org/wiki/recipes
[18:22] <Zinn> [mythbuntu.org] Recipes | Mythbuntu
[18:22] <superm1> so if it ends up working well for you, feel free to link people to that to kick off builds
[18:25] <dekarl> build-dsc.sh is build soure packages that get build at some ubuntu ppa farm?
[18:25] <superm1> yeah maybe need to explain that better, i suppose not everyone understands what dsc and deb are
[18:25] <dekarl> yeah, lets build sour packages ;)
[18:25] <superm1> dsc is a source package that you can build at the ubuntu PPA farm instead of locally
[18:27] <dekarl> and the benefit I get is that I can refer other people to the ppa, too? Or just install it on multiple machines easily? (thinking about how much work it would be to create PPAs for tickets with patches for DVB land)
[18:28] <superm1> yes you can refer other people to the PPA too
[18:28] <superm1> the only catch is that you need to pick a ubuntu version to target
[18:28] <superm1> so the way we get away with that with the regular mythbuntu PPAs is that we build for a whole bunch of targets each time
[18:29] <dekarl> oh, that will add up... 2/3 Ubuntu versions * 2/3 mythtv versions * n tickets...
[18:29] <superm1> in this idea for the web GUI I think we would probably have a checkbox to allow the user to pick a specific target or something
[18:29] <superm1> yeah it would
[18:29] <superm1> going forward we're going to encourage people to stay on LTS though
[18:30] <superm1> starting with 12.04
[18:30] <superm1> we won't be doing the non-LTS releases as mythbuntu releases
[18:30] <dekarl> but that only makes sense with backported dependencies (like xmltv, hint hint)
[18:30] <superm1> yeah, that will be important then, good point
[18:30] <superm1> it might even be possible to do xmltv with a launchpad recipe rather than this complex mythtv build thing
[18:31] <dekarl> but it fits well into my understanding of mythbuntu as some kind of mythtv appliance
[18:31] <superm1> Yeah, exactly
[18:32] <dekarl> to just use a launchpad recipe would require the packaging bits to be in the main repo?
[18:33] <superm1> well it would require the packaging bits to be in bzr laid out a specific way
[18:33] <superm1> and allow launchpad to import upstream code
[18:33] <superm1> it's doable for xmltv i'm fairly confident, but for mythtv it's not since we assemble a giant source package a special way
[18:33] <dekarl> ok, your script has dropped a bunch of debs. but I got recordings schedule until 1:30 am :(
[18:34] <superm1> cool, well as long as it looks like it actually included the patch and didn't error out, we can find out tomorrow how well it worked then :)
[18:34] <dekarl> (like 5 hours nonstop)
[18:35] <dekarl> I'm sure that it tested if the patch will apply, but I missed it applying the patch
[18:35] <superm1> the applying happens a little bit later from within the debuild command
[18:37] <dekarl> tada: http://paste.ubuntu.com/732279/
[18:37] <Zinn> [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin
[18:38] <dekarl> I guess theres no way to avoid bzr if you want to release PPAs?
[18:40] <superm1> well it's certainly possible
[18:40] <superm1> but if you want launchpad recipe driven PPAs you need to use bzr
[18:40] <superm1> i might refactor the packaging to be in the git packaging branch entirely rather than this bzr/git combo at some point, but i'm treading in if it ain't broke don't fix it territory right now
[18:41] <dekarl> i hear you. But one step after the other. first we should get of CVS, it does feel limited once you're used to git
[18:42] <superm1> oh yeah certainly
