| qwebirc95589 | Hello, i am new to mythtv, have a dedicated backend and a frontend. Im having two issues, seems like the recordings i set are skipping commericals in wrong places then the episode ends half way through. Also recordings are being set to auto-expire along with live tv, show it be this way or should just live tv be set to autoexpire.. thank you in advanced | 18:37 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | qwebirc95589, when you setup a recording rule, you can set whether you want it to autoexpire or not | 18:43 |
| qwebirc95589 | ok so its normal for recordings to autoexpire? i was just thinking it was for live tv and i had somethign messed up | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | as for the commercial skipping, commercial flagging isn't perfect. I'd imaging there are only certain types of shows (or certain shows) that you are seeing that bad behavior on? | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc95589, it's normal. LiveTV expires before recordings. And recordings expire based on watched vs unwatched and weighted priority | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | all of that is configurable, but IIRC those are the OOTB settings | 18:45 |
| qwebirc95589 | ya i mean sometimes it works great, sometimes not.. i turn commerical skipping off so that should be ok | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc95589, it's it's only certain shows, then you can turn off commercial flagging for just that recording schedule | 18:46 |
| qwebirc95589 | when its set to transcode does that remove all the commericals it detects? could that be why my recording are only half of the episodes? | 18:46 |
| tgm4883 | yea I think transcoding removes commercials | 18:47 |
| qwebirc95589 | ok that makes since. | 18:48 |
| qwebirc95589 | thank you so much for your help | 18:48 |
| tgm4883 | yw | 18:48 |
| qwebirc95589 | would u happen to know if theres a way to change the name of the recording file? | 18:49 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc95589, change it, no. You could use mythlink to make it a nicer name | 18:49 |
| qwebirc95589 | ok, do you have a myth setup? just wondering if its a good long term solution | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | yea I've had one for 5+ years | 18:51 |
| tgm4883 | which I've upgraded over time | 18:51 |
| qwebirc95589 | i want to get rid of my cable box completely, ive just been running into issues (which im working through slowly), just wondering if things will be better.. lol | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | who is your cable provider? | 18:52 |
| qwebirc95589 | comcast | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | I just moved to cable card and got rid of my HDPVR | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | I've got comcast too | 18:52 |
| qwebirc95589 | have u every tried watching recordings on a ps3? | 18:53 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc95589, nope, although it should be doable providing the ps3 can play back mpeg2-ts recordings | 18:53 |
| tgm4883 | I've got to run, be back later if you have more questions | 18:53 |
| qwebirc95589 | ok, thank you :) | 18:54 |
| qwebirc95589 | can anyone help me setup Mythlink? | 19:57 |
| SteveGoodey | qwebirc95589: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl | 19:59 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Mythlink.pl - MythTV Official Wiki | 19:59 |
| qwebirc95589 | is it just a matter of adding the script to like a user job? is there anything that needs to be installed first? | 20:01 |
| SteveGoodey | On that page it mentions perl modules. | 20:03 |
| qwebirc95589 | ok missed that. got it.. thank you | 20:04 |
| danielk22 | OT: Anyone know if there is an ubuntu tv channel? Or can just answer if ubuntu tv can be built on 12.04, it looks like it requires 11.10 packages.. | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | danielk22, yes there is, it's #ubuntu-tv but to answer your question, ubuntu tv is transistioning to Unity 3d from unity 2d (because 2d is deprecated) so there isn't much to do with it yet | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | IDK if it's even usable ATM | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | danielk22, for weekly info updates, www.doadjustyourset.com | 21:34 |
| danielk22 | tgm4883: Thanks! I don't need it to be usable, just wanted to take a look at it. | 21:35 |
