[18:37] 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 [18:43] qwebirc95589, when you setup a recording rule, you can set whether you want it to autoexpire or not [18:44] 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] 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] qwebirc95589, it's normal. LiveTV expires before recordings. And recordings expire based on watched vs unwatched and weighted priority [18:45] all of that is configurable, but IIRC those are the OOTB settings [18:45] ya i mean sometimes it works great, sometimes not.. i turn commerical skipping off so that should be ok [18:46] qwebirc95589, it's it's only certain shows, then you can turn off commercial flagging for just that recording schedule [18:46] 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? [18:47] yea I think transcoding removes commercials [18:48] ok that makes since. [18:48] thank you so much for your help [18:48] yw [18:49] would u happen to know if theres a way to change the name of the recording file? [18:49] qwebirc95589, change it, no. You could use mythlink to make it a nicer name [18:50] ok, do you have a myth setup? just wondering if its a good long term solution [18:51] yea I've had one for 5+ years [18:51] which I've upgraded over time [18:52] 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] who is your cable provider? [18:52] comcast [18:52] I just moved to cable card and got rid of my HDPVR [18:52] I've got comcast too [18:53] have u every tried watching recordings on a ps3? [18:53] qwebirc95589, nope, although it should be doable providing the ps3 can play back mpeg2-ts recordings [18:53] I've got to run, be back later if you have more questions [18:54] ok, thank you :) [19:57] can anyone help me setup Mythlink? [19:59] qwebirc95589: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl [19:59] [www.mythtv.org] Mythlink.pl - MythTV Official Wiki [20:01] is it just a matter of adding the script to like a user job? is there anything that needs to be installed first? [20:03] On that page it mentions perl modules. [20:04] ok missed that. got it.. thank you [21:33] 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.. [21:34] 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] IDK if it's even usable ATM [21:34] danielk22, for weekly info updates, www.doadjustyourset.com [21:35] tgm4883: Thanks! I don't need it to be usable, just wanted to take a look at it.
