[00:23] <nOStahl> hi guys i have a pinnacle 800e usb tuner card
[00:23] <nOStahl> trying to figure out how to set it up?
[00:37] <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
[00:56] <DrManhattan> is there an alternate install mythubuntu image available anywhere?
[01:04] <DrManhattan> does the mythubuntu install cd support software raid?
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <nOStahl> and open up mythtv backend setup?
[01:20] <Shadow__X> yes
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <nOStahl> dvb dev capture card (v3.x) ?
[01:23] <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
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <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
[01:29] <Shadow__X> nOStahl: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ start at general
[01:29] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] MythTV Official Wiki
[01:30] <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.
[01:31] <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?
[01:32] <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
[01:35] <nOStahl> what is torc
[01:37] <Shadow__X> its in the app store http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxQDLTSucxM
[01:38] <nOStahl> ty
[01:39] <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
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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
[01:59] <Shadow__X> anyone setup spindown  on their machines?
[14:47] <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?
[14:48] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: on my android phone in 3 different players and on my windows pc
[14:48] <Ankhwatcher> in vlc
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <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
[14:53] <Ankhwatcher> http://pastebin.com/9mCynHHn
[14:53] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] avconv - Pastebin.com
[15:04] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: I have the log file for mythexport, but I'm having trouble figuring out which bit is the last transcoding
[15:05] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: try that with ffmpeg -i too
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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
[15:10] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: okay cool, I'll do that now
[15:16] <Ankhwatcher> so wait, what command do I use?
[15:17] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: which config did you use?
[15:20] <Ankhwatcher> well I've tried the h264 low and the h264 high
[15:48] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1013230/
[15:48] <Zinn> [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin
[15:49] <rhpot1991> thats the command, sub out all the self-> variables
[15:59] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: should this command work: http://pastebin.com/Lb0ZU9HA
[15:59] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com
[16:05] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: yes, you need to do the 2nd command after the first is done then
[16:06] <rhpot1991> the stuff after the && that I pasted
[16:11] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: so this: http://pastebin.com/K5u2AjZG
[16:11] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com
[16:14] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: looks pretty good
[16:14] <rhpot1991> give it a try
[16:17] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: that's running, what should I be looking out for
[16:18] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: anything indicating failure
[16:18] <rhpot1991> the audio doesn't happen till the 2nd pass
[16:19] <Ankhwatcher> well here's what was at the end: http://pastebin.com/x2sWbkAa
[16:19] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] avconv output - Pastebin.com
[16:22] <rhpot1991> let me check on something
[16:23] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: ls -lah /usr/share/avconv/*ipod*
[16:23] <rhpot1991> what does that give you?
[16:24] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/bdi1RdH2
[16:24] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] ls -lah - Pastebin.com
[16:25] <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
[16:31] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: I'm not sure, how do you scroll up?
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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?
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <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?
[16:47] <Ankhwatcher> rhpot1991: just the one
[16:48] <rhpot1991> Ankhwatcher: ok I'll test some on my end
[16:49] <Ankhwatcher> thanks
[17:13] <stu> How does one go about configuring their tuner card once the firmware is installed?
[17:18] <Steve-Goodey> stu: I take it you mean inside mythtv?
[17:19] <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.
[17:20] <stu> I have a HVR2250. Any idea what I should put for card type?
[17:23] <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
[17:26] <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?
[17:31] <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
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <dekarl> skd5aner: master or fixes?
[18:57] <skd5aner> -fixes
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <dekarl> I had an issue with the gdm -> lightdm switch, not sure if that was 11.04 -> 11.10 or 11.10->12.04
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <dekarl> rhpot1991: its not "build on startup" like the other default groups?
[19:02] <skd5aner> well, do-release-upgrade underway on the backend
[19:03] <rhpot1991> the sql portion to populate that isn't run on upgrades in order to preserve whatever changes the user may have made
[19:05] <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 Â· MythTV/mythtv Â· GitHub
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <dekarl> doh, didnt try it. I'll keep it in mind
[19:07] <rhpot1991> not sure anything else uses that storage group
[19:09] <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 ;)
[19:12] <tgm4883> skd5aner, there isn't much of a reason to do that with Mythubntu
[19:13] <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
[19:15] <skd5aner> well, again - I don't use mythbuntu, although I love what you guys do and recommend it all the time to folks
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <skd5aner> my backend is a headless server
[19:17] <skd5aner> and my frontend is a dedicated frontend
[19:24] <skd5aner> yay - an error during upgrade :P
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <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
[19:29] <rhpot1991> I know, I'm just saying why compile when we do it for you :)
[19:30] <skd5aner> honestly - I don't have a great argument against the packages, I just don't happen to use them (but encourage others to)
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <tgm4883> my dedicated dev environment is labeled "production"
[19:38] <superm1> haha
[19:39] <tgm4883> not at work though
[19:39] <tgm4883> at work, it's labeled "students" ;)
