| nOStahl | hi guys i have a pinnacle 800e usb tuner card | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| nOStahl | trying to figure out how to set it up? | 00:23 |
| Shadow__X | swerve: its telling you the answer. Failed to connect to databased | 00:37 |
| Shadow__X | you were prompted to create a password for the database | 00:37 |
| DrManhattan | is there an alternate install mythubuntu image available anywhere? | 00:56 |
| DrManhattan | does the mythubuntu install cd support software raid? | 01:04 |
| nOStahl | anyone know how to add a usb tuner card | 01:16 |
| Shadow__X | DrManhattan: what do you mean by software raid? | 01:16 |
| Shadow__X | mythbuntu works with linux kernel raid no problem | 01:16 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: for specific tuner cards you can check the mythtv wiki for support | 01:17 |
| nOStahl | it has support | 01:17 |
| DrManhattan | can you set it up through the mythubuntu installer? in ubuntu standard you need the alternate installer cd | 01:17 |
| nOStahl | and i extracted the firmware to /lib/firmware it shows in dmesg with no errors | 01:17 |
| nOStahl | I don't know whats next | 01:18 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: ok did you follow the wikis page? it goes through how to set it up set by step | 01:18 |
| nOStahl | which wiki page | 01:18 |
| Shadow__X | you have to add the card in to myth setup | 01:18 |
| Shadow__X | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ | 01:19 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV Official Wiki | 01:19 |
| nOStahl | k so log out of the front end | 01:19 |
| nOStahl | and open up mythtv backend setup? | 01:20 |
| Shadow__X | yes | 01:20 |
| Shadow__X | DrManhattan: i use linux kernel raid for a raid5 storage array. I do not use it for a boot drive | 01:21 |
| DrManhattan | Shadow__X, nice. | 01:21 |
| nOStahl | ok selected capture cards | 01:21 |
| nOStahl | and what card type do I select for this pinnacle 800e | 01:21 |
| nOStahl | dvb dev capture card (v3.x) ? | 01:22 |
| Shadow__X | yes as thats a atsc digital tuner right? | 01:23 |
| Shadow__X | DrManhattan: is that what you wanted to do? or did you want to do raid 1 on the boot volume | 01:23 |
| DrManhattan | nah I can do raid 0 on the whole thing, I just leave 2g at the end of each drive that doesn't get used in raid for swap | 01:25 |
| nOStahl | Shadow__X: yes | 01:25 |
| nOStahl | k now what | 01:25 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: you have to do the fulle setup | 01:26 |
| DrManhattan | at this point im not really worried about trying to save boot partitions, if the drive takes a dump then having a good boot partition wont help me any | 01:26 |
| nOStahl | what do you mean | 01:26 |
| nOStahl | it had me finish after selecting the type | 01:26 |
| DrManhattan | whole thing on raid0 cept the nonraid swaps is cool with me | 01:26 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ start at general | 01:29 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV Official Wiki | 01:29 |
| Shadow__X | DrManhattan: yeahm i am not sure how to do that with a boot drive i know it was easily available on the alternative iso but i am not sure if its still available | 01:30 |
| nOStahl | Shadow__X: ok last question, i do not have the remote for this pinnacle 800e tuner, but it does have one originally, I DO have an old hp media center remote. | 01:30 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: this is the right link http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.1 | 01:30 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR | 01:30 |
| nOStahl | can I use this other remote with the pinnacle tuner? | 01:30 |
| nOStahl | i.e. will lirc see the infrared receiver on the tuner card and use it with the other remote. | 01:30 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: i would think that is dependant on if the ir receiver will pickup read input from the hp mce remote | 01:31 |
| Shadow__X | mce remotes tend to be better supported regardless | 01:31 |
| nOStahl | otherwise I always have my iPhone around | 01:31 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: i am not sure but if you have lirc setup you can run irw and hit buttons if it detects input it will show you | 01:31 |
| nOStahl | can you use multiple iPhone's as remotes? | 01:31 |
| Shadow__X | i am not sure. I currently use torc and that works really well for me | 01:32 |
| nOStahl | i.e. i have my iPhone remote and the wife has her iPhone remote to the same HTPC | 01:32 |
| nOStahl | what is torc | 01:35 |
| Shadow__X | its in the app store http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxQDLTSucxM | 01:37 |
| nOStahl | ty | 01:38 |
| Shadow__X | yup but seriously read through the manual it will help you out a lot and answer much of your questions | 01:39 |
| Shadow__X | mythtv.org should have most if not al the info you need | 01:39 |
| nOStahl | k | 01:43 |
| nOStahl | Shadow__X: how do I connect with one of the iPhone myth remote apps | 01:43 |
| nOStahl | I have enable network remote control interface selected | 01:43 |
| Shadow__X | nOStahl: i would first focus on getting the backend setup then getting the frontend working | 01:44 |
| Shadow__X | beforeworking on getting the remote apps to work | 01:44 |
| Shadow__X | anyone setup spindown on their machines? | 01:59 |

| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: so now it has transcoded successfully... except there is no sound. Any ideas? | 14:47 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: where have you tried playing back? | 14:47 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: on my android phone in 3 different players and on my windows pc | 14:48 |
| Ankhwatcher | in vlc | 14:48 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: ok lets try something | 14:50 |
| rhpot1991 | open it with avconv -i <file> | 14:50 |
| rhpot1991 | and it should spit out info on the streams | 14:50 |
| rhpot1991 | is there an audio track? | 14:51 |
| rhpot1991 | if that doesn't work use ffmpeg -i instead | 14:51 |
| Ankhwatcher | okay, give me a sec | 14:51 |
| Ankhwatcher | http://pastebin.com/9mCynHHn | 14:53 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] avconv - Pastebin.com | 14:53 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: I have the log file for mythexport, but I'm having trouble figuring out which bit is the last transcoding | 15:04 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: try that with ffmpeg -i too | 15:05 |
| rhpot1991 | it doesn't look like there is an audio stream on there | 15:06 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/zhC77avN | 15:06 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] ffmpeg - Pastebin.com | 15:06 |
| rhpot1991 | yep I suspect that is the issue | 15:07 |
| rhpot1991 | ok, so lets do this, try running avconv by hand to see if it complains | 15:07 |
| rhpot1991 | go take the command from whichever config you used | 15:08 |
| rhpot1991 | and plug in a recording as your input | 15:08 |
| rhpot1991 | you can prob just go into your recordings dir and pick one at random | 15:08 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: okay cool, I'll do that now | 15:10 |
| Ankhwatcher | so wait, what command do I use? | 15:16 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: which config did you use? | 15:17 |
| Ankhwatcher | well I've tried the h264 low and the h264 high | 15:20 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1013230/ | 15:48 |
| Zinn | [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin | 15:48 |
| rhpot1991 | thats the command, sub out all the self-> variables | 15:49 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: should this command work: http://pastebin.com/Lb0ZU9HA | 15:59 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com | 15:59 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: yes, you need to do the 2nd command after the first is done then | 16:05 |
| rhpot1991 | the stuff after the && that I pasted | 16:06 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: so this: http://pastebin.com/K5u2AjZG | 16:11 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com | 16:11 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: looks pretty good | 16:14 |
| rhpot1991 | give it a try | 16:14 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: that's running, what should I be looking out for | 16:17 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: anything indicating failure | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991 | the audio doesn't happen till the 2nd pass | 16:18 |
| Ankhwatcher | well here's what was at the end: http://pastebin.com/x2sWbkAa | 16:19 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] avconv output - Pastebin.com | 16:19 |
| rhpot1991 | let me check on something | 16:22 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: ls -lah /usr/share/avconv/*ipod* | 16:23 |
| rhpot1991 | what does that give you? | 16:23 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/bdi1RdH2 | 16:24 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] ls -lah - Pastebin.com | 16:24 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: is that still on the first pass or is it on the 2nd? | 16:25 |
| rhpot1991 | 0.1 is your audio stream, so this fits with why you aren't getting audio | 16:25 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: I'm not sure, how do you scroll up? | 16:31 |
| rhpot1991 | scrollbar? | 16:32 |
| Ankhwatcher | that just reveals the message the server shows when I connect | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: if in doubt kill it and run the 2 passes separately | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | run pass 1, see if there are any errors | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | then run pass 2 | 16:32 |
| Ankhwatcher | good plan | 16:32 |
| rhpot1991 | if that error only happens on pass 1, it can be safely ignored as we aren't doing audio then anyways | 16:33 |
| Ankhwatcher | I see messages about failed continuity checks, is that normal? | 16:33 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: yeah, the problem is definitely in step 2 | 16:43 |
| Ankhwatcher | step 1 has warnings, but works, step 2 craps out straight away | 16:43 |
| rhpot1991 | which explains things | 16:44 |
| rhpot1991 | you are left with the results of step 1 as the completed product | 16:44 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: do you have different types of tuners or just one? | 16:44 |
| Ankhwatcher | rhpot1991: just the one | 16:47 |
| rhpot1991 | Ankhwatcher: ok I'll test some on my end | 16:48 |
| Ankhwatcher | thanks | 16:49 |
| stu | How does one go about configuring their tuner card once the firmware is installed? | 17:13 |
| Steve-Goodey | stu: I take it you mean inside mythtv? | 17:18 |
| stu | yeah, I can't get any channels when I scan. I think I have the tuner card misconfigured. | 17:19 |
| stu | I ran mythtv-setup and haven't got anywhere. | 17:19 |
| stu | I have a HVR2250. Any idea what I should put for card type? | 17:20 |
| Steve-Goodey | stu: This page maybe of some use. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Talk:Hauppauge_HVR-2250. Have you tried your question on #mythtv-users? | 17:23 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Talk:Hauppauge HVR-2250 - MythTV Official Wiki | 17:23 |
| stu | Steve-Goodey: I haven't tried anywhere asking anywhere else. I didn't do the driver portion since the card is supported since 2.6.38. Are there any simple tests that you know of that I can try to make sure I have it working. I read onetime to try doing a 'cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/output.mpeg` and view it. Anything like that? | 17:26 |
| Steve-Goodey | stu: Try #mythtv-users, those guys are really good and helpful. I'm still a newbie at this stuff. | 17:31 |
| stu | Steve-Goodey: ok thanks | 17:31 |
| skd5aner | hey folks - I compile from source on vanilia ubuntu server, I'm currently running 11.10, and planning to upgrade to 12.04 - anything worth noting before I upgrade? | 18:56 |
| skd5aner | s/I compile from source/I compile mythtv from source | 18:56 |
| dekarl | skd5aner: master or fixes? | 18:57 |
| skd5aner | -fixes | 18:57 |
| dekarl | should work... master has some issue with -fPIC on amd64 | 18:58 |
| skd5aner | I've had good luck for years upgrading ubuntu, but there's always at least 1 gotcha - I think last time it was that lirc decided to switch around some mappings for no good reason :P | 18:58 |
| dekarl | I had an issue with the gdm -> lightdm switch, not sure if that was 11.04 -> 11.10 or 11.10->12.04 | 18:59 |
| superm1 | that was 11.04->11.10 (gdm/lightdm fun) | 19:00 |
| dekarl | thx | 19:00 |
| skd5aner | ah, yea... I think I'm still running gdm | 19:00 |
| dekarl | superm1: any idea on the -fPIC issue in ffmpeg? | 19:00 |
| skd5aner | well, I know I am | 19:00 |
| skd5aner | should I switch to lightdm? | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | the only gotcha for 12.04 is that you need to define the streaming storage group location | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | wont matter if you aren't using the service APIs | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | skd5aner: lightdm is the default now | 19:01 |
| dekarl | rhpot1991: there is a default group defined for that | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | if that means anything to you | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | dekarl: only for fresh installs | 19:01 |
| skd5aner | rhpot1991: but, you're probably referring to the mythtv package, and shouldn't be applicable in my case | 19:01 |
| rhpot1991 | upgrades don't modify storage groups | 19:01 |
| dekarl | rhpot1991: its not "build on startup" like the other default groups? | 19:02 |
| skd5aner | well, do-release-upgrade underway on the backend | 19:02 |
| rhpot1991 | the sql portion to populate that isn't run on upgrades in order to preserve whatever changes the user may have made | 19:03 |
| dekarl | rhpot1991: I was refering to https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythbase/storagegroup.cpp#L68 | 19:05 |
| Zinn | [github.com] mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmythbase/storagegroup.cpp at master · MythTV/mythtv · GitHub | 19:05 |
| dekarl | default location, when nothing is manually configured, will be $HOME/.mythtv/tmp/hls | 19:06 |
| rhpot1991 | dekarl: well the entry for the storage group exists in mythconverg | 19:06 |
| rhpot1991 | it is just empty | 19:06 |
| superm1 | skd5aner: after you get on 12.04, i'd recommend just sticking around on the LTS for a while if you can | 19:06 |
| rhpot1991 | so if you try to access it via the service APIs it fails | 19:06 |
| dekarl | doh, didnt try it. I'll keep it in mind | 19:07 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure anything else uses that storage group | 19:07 |
| skd5aner | superm1: yea, historically, I've always been on the 2-3 month behind schedule... I may stick on LTS, but for some reason I get antsy and want to upgrade like all the cool kids do ;) | 19:09 |
| tgm4883 | skd5aner, there isn't much of a reason to do that with Mythubntu | 19:12 |
| tgm4883 | we backport new mythtv releases to the LTS release | 19:13 |
| * rhpot1991 disagrees on LTS | 19:13 | |
| tgm4883 | see | 19:13 |
| tgm4883 | !repos | 19:13 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos | 19:13 |
| rhpot1991 | upgrade now, blame the hardware when you have issues, ask questions later | 19:13 |
| tgm4883 | foxbuntu is also good to blame | 19:13 |
| skd5aner | well, again - I don't use mythbuntu, although I love what you guys do and recommend it all the time to folks | 19:15 |
| tgm4883 | skd5aner, you can still use those repos on regular ubuntu | 19:16 |
| tgm4883 | IMO, if you are using your master backend as a desktop, you are doing it wrong | 19:16 |
| skd5aner | I know - but I've been doing it this way since 2003, heh... hard to break that habit and go to a package | 19:16 |
| skd5aner | my backend is a headless server | 19:17 |
| skd5aner | and my frontend is a dedicated frontend | 19:17 |
| skd5aner | yay - an error during upgrade :P | 19:24 |
| skd5aner | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/989164 - that's the same issue I have | 19:26 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #989164 “precise headless server upgrade failed” : Bugs : “update-manager” package : Ubuntu | 19:26 |
| rhpot1991 | skd5aner: ya our packages are the ones that go into ubuntu | 19:26 |
| rhpot1991 | and I'd recommend the updates repo as well, mythtv fixes happen after the main repos get frozen | 19:27 |
| skd5aner | rhpot1991: yes, I'm aware - but again, I'm not using the mythbuntu packages, but thank you :) | 19:27 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, I just read backlog. He compiles | 19:27 |
| rhpot1991 | I know, I'm just saying why compile when we do it for you :) | 19:29 |
| skd5aner | honestly - I don't have a great argument against the packages, I just don't happen to use them (but encourage others to) | 19:30 |
| skd5aner | I do test patches and sometimes even produce my own, so even as infrequent as that may happen, it's easier for me this way when I need to do so | 19:33 |
| skd5aner | since I don't have a dedicated dev environment | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | my dedicated dev environment is labeled "production" | 19:34 |
| superm1 | haha | 19:38 |
| tgm4883 | not at work though | 19:39 |
| tgm4883 | at work, it's labeled "students" ;) | 19:39 |
