[00:23] hi guys i have a pinnacle 800e usb tuner card [00:23] trying to figure out how to set it up? [00:37] swerve: its telling you the answer. Failed to connect to databased [00:37] you were prompted to create a password for the database [00:56] is there an alternate install mythubuntu image available anywhere? [01:04] does the mythubuntu install cd support software raid? [01:16] anyone know how to add a usb tuner card [01:16] DrManhattan: what do you mean by software raid? [01:16] mythbuntu works with linux kernel raid no problem [01:17] nOStahl: for specific tuner cards you can check the mythtv wiki for support [01:17] it has support [01:17] can you set it up through the mythubuntu installer? in ubuntu standard you need the alternate installer cd [01:17] and i extracted the firmware to /lib/firmware it shows in dmesg with no errors [01:18] I don't know whats next [01:18] nOStahl: ok did you follow the wikis page? it goes through how to set it up set by step [01:18] which wiki page [01:18] you have to add the card in to myth setup [01:19] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ [01:19] [www.mythtv.org] MythTV Official Wiki [01:19] k so log out of the front end [01:20] and open up mythtv backend setup? [01:20] yes [01:21] DrManhattan: i use linux kernel raid for a raid5 storage array. I do not use it for a boot drive [01:21] Shadow__X, nice. [01:21] ok selected capture cards [01:21] and what card type do I select for this pinnacle 800e [01:22] dvb dev capture card (v3.x) ? [01:23] yes as thats a atsc digital tuner right? [01:23] DrManhattan: is that what you wanted to do? or did you want to do raid 1 on the boot volume [01:25] 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] Shadow__X: yes [01:25] k now what [01:26] nOStahl: you have to do the fulle setup [01:26] 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] what do you mean [01:26] it had me finish after selecting the type [01:26] whole thing on raid0 cept the nonraid swaps is cool with me [01:29] nOStahl: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ start at general [01:29] [www.mythtv.org] MythTV Official Wiki [01:30] 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] 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] nOStahl: this is the right link http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.1 [01:30] [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR [01:30] can I use this other remote with the pinnacle tuner? [01:30] i.e. will lirc see the infrared receiver on the tuner card and use it with the other remote. [01:31] nOStahl: i would think that is dependant on if the ir receiver will pickup read input from the hp mce remote [01:31] mce remotes tend to be better supported regardless [01:31] otherwise I always have my iPhone around [01:31] 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] can you use multiple iPhone's as remotes? [01:32] i am not sure. I currently use torc and that works really well for me [01:32] i.e. i have my iPhone remote and the wife has her iPhone remote to the same HTPC [01:35] what is torc [01:37] its in the app store http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxQDLTSucxM [01:38] ty [01:39] yup but seriously read through the manual it will help you out a lot and answer much of your questions [01:39] mythtv.org should have most if not al the info you need [01:43] k [01:43] Shadow__X: how do I connect with one of the iPhone myth remote apps [01:43] I have enable network remote control interface selected [01:44] nOStahl: i would first focus on getting the backend setup then getting the frontend working [01:44] beforeworking on getting the remote apps to work [01:59] anyone setup spindown on their machines? === waxhead_ is now known as waxhead [14:47] rhpot1991: so now it has transcoded successfully... except there is no sound. Any ideas? [14:47] Ankhwatcher: where have you tried playing back? [14:48] rhpot1991: on my android phone in 3 different players and on my windows pc [14:48] in vlc [14:50] Ankhwatcher: ok lets try something [14:50] open it with avconv -i [14:50] and it should spit out info on the streams [14:51] is there an audio track? [14:51] if that doesn't work use ffmpeg -i instead [14:51] okay, give me a sec [14:53] http://pastebin.com/9mCynHHn [14:53] [pastebin.com] avconv - Pastebin.com [15:04] rhpot1991: I have the log file for mythexport, but I'm having trouble figuring out which bit is the last transcoding [15:05] Ankhwatcher: try that with ffmpeg -i too [15:06] it doesn't look like there is an audio stream on there [15:06] rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/zhC77avN [15:06] [pastebin.com] ffmpeg - Pastebin.com [15:07] yep I suspect that is the issue [15:07] ok, so lets do this, try running avconv by hand to see if it complains [15:08] go take the command from whichever config you used [15:08] and plug in a recording as your input [15:08] you can prob just go into your recordings dir and pick one at random [15:10] rhpot1991: okay cool, I'll do that now [15:16] so wait, what command do I use? [15:17] Ankhwatcher: which config did you use? [15:20] well I've tried the h264 low and the h264 high [15:48] Ankhwatcher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1013230/ [15:48] [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin [15:49] thats the command, sub out all the self-> variables [15:59] rhpot1991: should this command work: http://pastebin.com/Lb0ZU9HA [15:59] [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com [16:05] Ankhwatcher: yes, you need to do the 2nd command after the first is done then [16:06] the stuff after the && that I pasted [16:11] rhpot1991: so this: http://pastebin.com/K5u2AjZG [16:11] [pastebin.com] command - Pastebin.com [16:14] Ankhwatcher: looks pretty good [16:14] give it a try [16:17] rhpot1991: that's running, what should I be looking out for [16:18] Ankhwatcher: anything indicating failure [16:18] the audio doesn't happen till the 2nd pass [16:19] well here's what was at the end: http://pastebin.com/x2sWbkAa [16:19] [pastebin.com] avconv output - Pastebin.com [16:22] let me check on something [16:23] Ankhwatcher: ls -lah /usr/share/avconv/*ipod* [16:23] what does that give you? [16:24] rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/bdi1RdH2 [16:24] [pastebin.com] ls -lah - Pastebin.com [16:25] Ankhwatcher: is that still on the first pass or is it on the 2nd? [16:25] 0.1 is your audio stream, so this fits with why you aren't getting audio [16:31] rhpot1991: I'm not sure, how do you scroll up? [16:32] scrollbar? [16:32] that just reveals the message the server shows when I connect [16:32] Ankhwatcher: if in doubt kill it and run the 2 passes separately [16:32] run pass 1, see if there are any errors [16:32] then run pass 2 [16:32] good plan [16:33] if that error only happens on pass 1, it can be safely ignored as we aren't doing audio then anyways [16:33] I see messages about failed continuity checks, is that normal? [16:43] rhpot1991: yeah, the problem is definitely in step 2 [16:43] step 1 has warnings, but works, step 2 craps out straight away [16:44] which explains things [16:44] you are left with the results of step 1 as the completed product [16:44] Ankhwatcher: do you have different types of tuners or just one? [16:47] rhpot1991: just the one [16:48] Ankhwatcher: ok I'll test some on my end [16:49] thanks [17:13] How does one go about configuring their tuner card once the firmware is installed? [17:18] stu: I take it you mean inside mythtv? [17:19] yeah, I can't get any channels when I scan. I think I have the tuner card misconfigured. [17:19] I ran mythtv-setup and haven't got anywhere. [17:20] I have a HVR2250. Any idea what I should put for card type? [17:23] 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] [www.mythtv.org] Talk:Hauppauge HVR-2250 - MythTV Official Wiki [17:26] 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] stu: Try #mythtv-users, those guys are really good and helpful. I'm still a newbie at this stuff. [17:31] Steve-Goodey: ok thanks [18:56] 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] s/I compile from source/I compile mythtv from source [18:57] skd5aner: master or fixes? [18:57] -fixes [18:58] should work... master has some issue with -fPIC on amd64 [18:58] 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] 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] that was 11.04->11.10 (gdm/lightdm fun) [19:00] thx [19:00] ah, yea... I think I'm still running gdm [19:00] superm1: any idea on the -fPIC issue in ffmpeg? [19:00] well, I know I am [19:01] should I switch to lightdm? [19:01] the only gotcha for 12.04 is that you need to define the streaming storage group location [19:01] wont matter if you aren't using the service APIs [19:01] skd5aner: lightdm is the default now [19:01] rhpot1991: there is a default group defined for that [19:01] if that means anything to you [19:01] dekarl: only for fresh installs [19:01] rhpot1991: but, you're probably referring to the mythtv package, and shouldn't be applicable in my case [19:01] upgrades don't modify storage groups [19:02] rhpot1991: its not "build on startup" like the other default groups? [19:02] well, do-release-upgrade underway on the backend [19:03] the sql portion to populate that isn't run on upgrades in order to preserve whatever changes the user may have made [19:05] rhpot1991: I was refering to https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythbase/storagegroup.cpp#L68 [19:05] [github.com] mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmythbase/storagegroup.cpp at master Â· MythTV/mythtv Â· GitHub [19:06] default location, when nothing is manually configured, will be $HOME/.mythtv/tmp/hls [19:06] dekarl: well the entry for the storage group exists in mythconverg [19:06] it is just empty [19:06] skd5aner: after you get on 12.04, i'd recommend just sticking around on the LTS for a while if you can [19:06] so if you try to access it via the service APIs it fails [19:07] doh, didnt try it. I'll keep it in mind [19:07] not sure anything else uses that storage group [19:09] 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] skd5aner, there isn't much of a reason to do that with Mythubntu [19:13] we backport new mythtv releases to the LTS release [19:13] * rhpot1991 disagrees on LTS [19:13] see [19:13] !repos [19:13] The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos [19:13] upgrade now, blame the hardware when you have issues, ask questions later [19:13] foxbuntu is also good to blame [19:15] well, again - I don't use mythbuntu, although I love what you guys do and recommend it all the time to folks [19:16] skd5aner, you can still use those repos on regular ubuntu [19:16] IMO, if you are using your master backend as a desktop, you are doing it wrong [19:16] 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] my backend is a headless server [19:17] and my frontend is a dedicated frontend [19:24] yay - an error during upgrade :P [19:26] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/989164 - that's the same issue I have [19:26] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #989164 “precise headless server upgrade failed” : Bugs : “update-manager” package : Ubuntu [19:26] skd5aner: ya our packages are the ones that go into ubuntu [19:27] and I'd recommend the updates repo as well, mythtv fixes happen after the main repos get frozen [19:27] rhpot1991: yes, I'm aware - but again, I'm not using the mythbuntu packages, but thank you :) [19:27] rhpot1991, I just read backlog. He compiles [19:29] I know, I'm just saying why compile when we do it for you :) [19:30] 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] 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] since I don't have a dedicated dev environment [19:34] my dedicated dev environment is labeled "production" [19:38] haha [19:39] not at work though [19:39] at work, it's labeled "students" ;) [20:43] ok, I got this far, but now I'm stuck. can anyone tell me how to proceed? http://pastebin.com/MZj49p6h [20:43] [pastebin.com] Setting up mythtv-database (0.25-dmo3) ...
