[00:03] <lunaphyte> i'm a little confused about setting up a frontend only computer to talk to a backend only server.
[00:04] <lunaphyte> i've set the backend up, and when i run mythtv frontend, it asks country and language, and then when i click save, i then see a very sparse windows that simply says "no upnp", with an ok button.
[00:05] <lunaphyte> when i click ok, the next page says "mythtv could not connect to the database. please verify your database…"
[00:06] <lunaphyte> what does "no upnp" actually mean?  is something supposed to happen automatically?  or am i supposed to manually configure the database settings?
[05:05] <patdk-lap> lunaphyte, no upnp means it couldn't automatically locate the database server, so you have todo it manually
[05:06] <lunaphyte> oh, hey there.
[05:06] <lunaphyte> why wouldn't it be able to do it automatically?  should it?
[05:06] <patdk-lap> dunno, I don't use upnp
[05:06] <patdk-lap> I always do it manually
[05:07] <lunaphyte> hmm
[05:09] <bonelifer> just got a HDHomerun Dual tuner(original grey). From within the hdhomerun program I can scan a particular QAM-256 channel and get the subchannels(right terminolgy?). I can click the view button and see it popup in VLC.  When I scan within mythtv setup, I get the same channels found, but this time, all I can see is static.
[05:10] <lunaphyte> now it says "could not connect to the master backend server"
[05:17] <bonelifer> the weirdest thing is when I scanned for my PVR-500 it looked like it locked on to all channel numbers, then at the end it said it didn't find any. Then in the channel editor it had added all those channels despite most wouldn't have a signal. which was easily fixed by going into the channel editor and doing the "D-ENTER" dance with my keyboard till those extra channels were deleted.  Was so excited a few days ago when I go the HDHo
[05:17] <bonelifer> meRun I know wish I hadn't updated to 11.10, just has been a pain.
[05:28] <lunaphyte> this is stupid.  why do i have to tell mythtv-setup its own ip address?
[05:28] <lunaphyte> these settings are un-clear
[05:30] <lunaphyte> and why is it asking for the ip address of the master backend?  it *is* the master backend.  doesn't it know this?
[05:50] <patdk-lap> no
[05:50] <patdk-lap> it could be a secondary master backend
[05:50] <patdk-lap> or a third backend
[07:33] <dekarl> lunaphyte: so you already configured the backend ip stuff? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Backend#Host_Address_Backend_Setup
[07:33] <dekarl> there is also a part for mysql to configure, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythfrontend#Allowing_mythfrontend_on_a_remote_machine_to_access_mythbackend_running_on_a_second_machine

[07:34] <dekarl> after the backend setup part the backend detection via UPnP should work
[14:47] <bixter> i want to use a sdhc card for theme and thumb caching. i wrote something to set this up automagically, does mythbuntu/ltsp have something that can do this nativly?
[15:43] <Unguided> hello all! I have 2 newb questions. 1. Can anyone tell me where to get the mythbuntu installation manual i have seen on some of the youtube videos & 2. can anyone tell me if the logitech mini controller will work with mythtv. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
[15:59] <Unguided> never mind. i found my answer. just didnt look far enough.
[22:40] <bonelifer> I have a PVR-500 and a HDHomeRun, right now I've got seperate "input connection" for each. In LIVE TV, I only see the PVR channels, I have to manually enter the HDHRs. Do I need seperate "input connection" profiles or am I missing something to combine them in the LIVE TV module?
