[00:07] tgm4883: can you tell me a little bit about how mythfrontend gets launched? How is it automated/scripted? [00:08] I don't use mythbuntu, I'm just trying to mimic some of it manually [02:09] Hi... How does one get the latest 0.26 update? Does it automatically pushed out if you are running 0.25? [02:19] will try to get info on line later.. Thanks. [06:03] helloder [06:35] anyone here? [06:38] ublx? [06:40] ECHO [06:40] echo > echo > echo === dkeith_ is now known as dkeith [21:35] Greetings! [21:36] I have a Hauppauge HVR 950Q tuner that I am having some problems with. [21:37] The maintainer of the modules for this tuner have made a couple of small changes to it that are committed. [21:38] How do I influence the kernel maintainers for ubuntu 12.04 to back port the changes to the 3.2 kernel being used for mythbuntu 12.04? [21:39] Currently, when using mythtv with the drivers as is, It causes a kernel data dump, and kills mythtv-backend. [21:42] jrb^, just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. You want to have the kernel maintainers take the changes in the mythbuntu 12.04 kernel and apply them to the ubuntu 12.04 kernel? [21:43] Hello I have a few questions in regards to setting up mythtv Anybody there/ [21:43] * tgm4883 hides [21:43] hides? [21:44] EdMarx, ask your question [21:45] I really want to use mythbuntu. Right now I don't have cable or the cable cards. So I was planning on using it to manage the music and videos I already have. Does this make sense? [21:45] EdMarx, if you plan on expanding later to use a tuner card, then yes [21:46] Yes I do. on that note do I need cable to get live tv? what about watching tv on the internet like sidereel.com or hulu [21:47] You would need some source for live tv (be it cable, satellite, antenna) [21:47] I don't think hulu works, and I'm unsure what sidereel.com is, but you might want to look at the mythtv plugin mythnetvision [21:47] I was referring to the ubuntu kernel maintainers that would port the changes made to the ubuntu kernel [21:48] Ok So by default it has storage groups of videos, pictures, etc. I want to have an easily accessible gui that says Movies and TV-Shows just like it says videos [21:48] jrb^, I'd probably just try emailing the maintainer of wherever the modules live [21:48] so if they are in the kernel, you would need to email the kernel maintainers [21:49] I have made a storage group called movies and made the directory /var/lib/mythtv/movies. Am i on the right track? [21:50] the maintainer of the modules has committed the changes to the mainstream kernel.. 3.5.something.. [21:50] EdMarx, I suppose, although there isn't really a need to create a directory for /movies, you could just use the /videos dir [21:50] so I would need to find out who maintains the 3.2 kernel for ubuntu [21:50] jrb^, right, but you would need to talk to the ubuntu kernel-team (eg. the maintain of the ubuntu package linux-image-*) [21:50] I want to keep them separate tough. [21:50] jrb^, ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com [21:51] ah ok. [21:51] thanks [21:51] i'll visit that list [21:51] jrb^, yw. That is my best guess from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic [21:51] [packages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu -- Details of package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic in precise [21:52] EdMarx, what is the difference between /videos and /movies? [21:53] videos would imply any video material i want to be able to navigate to a "Tv Show" icon when I want to watch prerecorded tv programs and navigate to a "Movie" icon when I want to watch movies [21:54] EdMarx, there are basically two sections 1) Recordings - which has all recorded content 2) Videos - Which has all content from your videos storage group [21:54] tgm4883, thanks! I visited that page, and subscribed. [21:55] There might be a way to create a menu entry to jump to a certain place in the Videos section, but I've never tried it [21:55] Ok so where it says screenshots, pictures, music, fan art… can I not just add another directory there and make an icon for it so when I am on the fronted I can just navigate there? [21:56] EdMarx, no, the frontend has no knowledge of those directories [21:56] the frontend just asks the backend for content [21:56] ok well I will try this if not oh well. another problem i am having is I want to be able to input a flash drive [21:57] and have the screen allow me to sent that content to a hard drive [21:57] can I do this from the frontend? [21:57] maybe with a custom user job [21:57] what is that [21:58] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Jobs [21:58] [www.mythtv.org] User Jobs - MythTV Official Wiki [21:58] k [21:59] how do you import media into your mythbuntu box? [21:59] I rip it on my backend [22:00] Ok maybe that is th way I should do it. [22:00] So do you have tv shows and movies that you have ripped ? [22:01] yea [22:02] when you are watching tv how to you separate the shows from the movies? [22:03] a few things [22:04] I don't record movies, only tv shows [22:04] the tv shows that I have ripped are separate from my recorded tv show [22:04] so to get to them, I go into videos [22:04] and inside that, there is a movies folder and a television folder [22:05] oh there is? [22:05] yea, by default it's not but there are a few different settings to set in there [22:05] I chose the one that makes two folders there [22:05] not to be a pain but how did you [22:05] do that? [22:06] EdMarx, I'll have to go home and look. I think there is just a different view to change it to [22:06] let me see if I can look on my test VM here [22:06] ok. i don't want to trouble you [22:07] found it [22:07] once in there, you hit M then choose Browse By [22:07] then select TV/Movies [22:08] once in the front end [22:08] ? [22:08] yea [22:08] once in the videos section [22:08] ok [22:09] I know.. i have a lot of questions but… how do you rip the movies to the videos folder? [22:09] wait [22:09] nevemind [22:57] tgm4883: still there? [22:57] for a few minutes [22:58] I'm in the fronted and in videos. I see the video I put on HD. it gives me media information and says play yet when I click play nothing happens. codecs? [22:58] doubtful. what does the /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log say [22:59] checking.. fyi even with vlc player without fronted guy still dint work [23:02] it says a lot of things [23:02] am I supposed to be looking for anything inparticular [23:03] pastebin them [23:03] and the backend logs too [23:03] although if VLC can't play it either, I'd say it's an issue with the file [23:06] pastebin.com/YquRx30v [23:06] [pastebin.com] Oct 5 15:58:52 ANTiV mythfrontend[7393]: N thread_unknown mythcommandlinepars - Pastebin.com [23:06] good point [23:13] MiWfmYsv [23:18] yeah you were right it was the file [23:18] geez
