[00:09] anyone use MythExport? I want to export hidef under a bit more compression [00:10] I'm wondering if there is any way to change the settings, or add different codecs [02:35] tgm4883: the fix is in and mythvidexport works again [02:35] thanks again === dekarl1 is now known as dekarl [10:23] rhpot1991: I think I've screwed up mythExport, how can I get debug info? [15:56] Ankhwatcher: http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/MythExport [15:56] [www.mythbuntu.org] MythExport | Mythbuntu [15:56] search for debug [16:50] rhpot1991: is there lenght limit to what can be transcoded? [16:52] I'm trying to transcode 215 minutes of HD footage [17:04] rhpot1991: what would cause this? http://pastebin.com/EKu8uCMf [17:04] [pastebin.com] MythExport Problems - Pastebin.com [17:28] Ankhwatcher: what version of mythbuntu/ubuntu and what version of mythexport? [17:30] Ankhwatcher: I gotta run I'll check back in a few, if you are on 11.10 try these updated configs: http://www.baablogic.net/mythexport/ [17:30] [www.baablogic.net] MythExport [19:29] rhpot1991: I had installed those, but it just occurred to me that I forgot to give them permissions so myth could use them [19:54] Ankhwatcher: all good then? [20:11] hmm I suppose I should update my box sometime... anyway, I've got something that really annoys me... I've got my mythtbuntu box which is a bit older (still identifies as Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS), that when I watch a video on my tv via hdmi, it randomly gives black screens for 1-2 seconds each and then resumes rendering [20:11] I can't discern a pattern to it, so I'm not sure if it's HDMI encryption handshaking issues or what [20:12] it's using the radeon driver, not fglrx [20:47] I guess many people are here in the USA and thus out with families and friends. heh. [20:49] mishehu: I'm no expert but I think the first question they would ask is anything in the logs? [21:31] hi, newbie here. What is the best way to run mythtv on win7 and access my BE? [21:55] rhpot1991: not so far I seem to have something stuck in my queue [21:56] rhpot1991: is there a way to force it? [21:56] Ankhwatcher: delete the job, or restart the daemon [21:57] Ankhwatcher: what version of ubuntu/mythbuntu? [21:57] what's the command for version? [21:58] lsb_release -a [21:58] I'm on kubuntu 12.10 I think, I'll check [21:59] http://pastebin.com/mE2PAi4p [21:59] [pastebin.com] version - Pastebin.com [22:00] Ankhwatcher: the commands in 12.04 should work just fine [22:00] in 12.04 you shouldn't be using ffmpeg anymore, its replaced by avconv I think the command is [22:01] Ankhwatcher: also this bug might bite you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythexport/+bug/982241 [22:01] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #982241 “mythexport daemon cannot start - no permission to w...” : Bugs : “mythexport” package : Ubuntu [22:02] Ankhwatcher, out of curiosity, what is the output of 'cat /var/log/installer/media-info' [22:03] tgm4883: Kubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) [22:04] ok [22:04] rhpot1991: no, it seems to write to the log okay most of the time [22:05] Ankhwatcher: I suspect that bug only hits new releases [22:06] rhpot1991: does it interrupt the recording of the log to look at it? [22:06] Ankhwatcher: ok so if you replaced your configs with the ones from my site, you will want to purge mythexport and reinstall [22:06] the ones in the package there will use avconv which is what you want in 12.04 [22:06] Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon line 178. [22:07] Ankhwatcher: what configs are you working with now? [22:07] the new ones from your site [22:07] so sudo apt-get purge mythexport? [22:08] I think it might be --purge there [22:08] sudo dpkg --purge mythexport [22:08] rhpot1991: I'm the idiot with the misnamed mythdatabase, will it ask me for the name and login? [22:08] should do it [22:08] Ankhwatcher: I fixed that bug so it should work now [22:08] I think [22:09] this is a good thing, right: dpkg: warning: while removing mythexport, directory '/usr/share/mythexport/configs' not empty so not removed. [22:09] go nuke that by hand now [22:09] rhpot1991: thanks [22:10] rhpot1991: but that's where the new configs are, don't we want to keep those? [22:10] you want the ones in the package [22:10] not the ones from my site [22:10] oh okay [22:10] those are for pre 12.04 [22:10] I'm updating my site to say that now [22:11] rm -rfv /usr/share/mythexport/configs [22:11] might need to sudo that [22:11] will do [22:11] done [22:11] reinstall? [22:12] ya now sudo apt-get install mythexport [22:12] then you will need to set everything up as normal [22:12] try a test job, and see what happens [22:12] Ankhwatcher: and make sure that log bug doesn;t bite you this time now [22:13] I still need to push a fix for that [22:16] tgm4883: thanks for the build. Its mostly working now but am having some unicode issues and issues with the internal metadata [22:17] rhpot1991: i've given it a job to do, but I don't see mythtranscode or mythexport-daemon in top [22:17] mythbackend is towards the top of the list [22:19] Ankhwatcher: check that log bug [22:19] it will kill the daemon [22:19] so the job will never get picked up then [22:19] you should see avconv pop up and eat cpu when it processes [22:22] rhpot1991: I can see it complaining that the mpeg config is gone in the log [22:22] I think that's because it tried to do some previously scheduled jobs [22:23] Ankhwatcher: delete those from the web interface [22:23] Ankhwatcher: I gotta run, I'll check back later [22:24] rhpot1991: okay, thanks for your help [22:25] it's working [22:25] I restarted it and it's working [22:27] now I will feed it the Gran Prix and leave it overnight [22:57] ok, I got this far, but now I'm stuck. can anyone tell me how to proceed? http://pastebin.com/MZj49p6h [22:57] [pastebin.com] Setting up mythtv-database (0.25-dmo3) ...
