[00:07] <skd5aner> tgm4883: can you tell me a little bit about how mythfrontend gets launched?  How is it automated/scripted?
[00:08] <skd5aner> I don't use mythbuntu, I'm just trying to mimic some of it manually
[02:09] <qwebirc73575> Hi... How does one get the latest 0.26 update?  Does it automatically pushed out if you are running 0.25?
[02:19] <qwebirc73575> will try to get info on line later.. Thanks.

[21:35] <jrb^> Greetings!
[21:36] <jrb^> I have a Hauppauge HVR 950Q tuner that I am having some problems with.
[21:37] <jrb^> The maintainer of the modules for this tuner have made a couple of small changes to it that are committed.
[21:38] <jrb^> 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] <jrb^> Currently, when using mythtv with the drivers as is, It causes a kernel data dump, and kills mythtv-backend.
[21:42] <tgm4883> 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] <EdMarx> Hello I have a few questions in regards to setting up mythtv Anybody there/
[21:43]  * tgm4883 hides
[21:43] <EdMarx> hides?
[21:44] <tgm4883> EdMarx, ask your question
[21:45] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> EdMarx, if you plan on expanding later to use a tuner card, then yes
[21:46] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> You would need some source for live tv (be it cable, satellite, antenna)
[21:47] <tgm4883> 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] <jrb^> I was referring to the ubuntu kernel maintainers that would port the changes made to the ubuntu kernel
[21:48] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> jrb^, I'd probably just try emailing the maintainer of wherever the modules live
[21:48] <tgm4883> so if they are in the kernel, you would need to email the kernel maintainers
[21:49] <EdMarx> I have made a storage group called movies and made the directory /var/lib/mythtv/movies. Am i on the right track?
[21:50] <jrb^> the maintainer of the modules has committed the changes to the mainstream kernel.. 3.5.something..
[21:50] <tgm4883> 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] <jrb^> so I would need to find out who maintains the 3.2 kernel for ubuntu
[21:50] <tgm4883> jrb^, right, but you would need to talk to the ubuntu kernel-team (eg. the maintain of the ubuntu package linux-image-*)
[21:50] <EdMarx> I want to keep them separate tough.
[21:50] <tgm4883> jrb^, ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com
[21:51] <jrb^> ah ok.
[21:51] <jrb^> thanks
[21:51] <jrb^> i'll visit that list
[21:51] <tgm4883> jrb^, yw. That is my best guess from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic
[21:51] <Zinn> [packages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu -- Details of package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic in precise
[21:52] <tgm4883> EdMarx, what is the difference between /videos and /movies?
[21:53] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> 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] <jrb^> tgm4883, thanks! I visited that page, and subscribed.
[21:55] <tgm4883> 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] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> EdMarx, no, the frontend has no knowledge of those directories
[21:56] <tgm4883> the frontend just asks the backend for content
[21:56] <EdMarx> 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] <EdMarx> and have the screen allow me to sent that content to a hard drive
[21:57] <EdMarx> can I do this from the frontend?
[21:57] <tgm4883> maybe with a custom user job
[21:57] <EdMarx> what is that
[21:58] <tgm4883> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Jobs

[21:58] <EdMarx> k
[21:59] <EdMarx> how do you import media into your mythbuntu box?
[21:59] <tgm4883> I rip it on my backend
[22:00] <EdMarx> Ok maybe that is th way I should do it.
[22:00] <EdMarx> So do you have tv shows and movies that you have ripped ?
[22:01] <tgm4883> yea
[22:02] <EdMarx> when you are watching tv how to you separate the shows from the movies?
[22:03] <tgm4883> a few things
[22:04] <tgm4883> I don't record movies, only tv shows
[22:04] <tgm4883> the tv shows that I have ripped are separate from my recorded tv show
[22:04] <tgm4883> so to get to them, I go into videos
[22:04] <tgm4883> and inside that, there is a movies folder and a television folder
[22:05] <EdMarx> oh there is?
[22:05] <tgm4883> yea, by default it's not but there are a few different settings to set in there
[22:05] <tgm4883> I chose the one that makes two folders there
[22:05] <EdMarx> not to be a pain but how did you
[22:05] <EdMarx>  do that?
[22:06] <tgm4883> EdMarx, I'll have to go home and look. I think there is just a different view to change it to
[22:06] <tgm4883> let me see if I can look on my test VM here
[22:06] <EdMarx> ok. i don't want to trouble you
[22:07] <tgm4883> found it
[22:07] <tgm4883> once in there, you hit M then choose Browse By
[22:07] <tgm4883> then select TV/Movies
[22:08] <EdMarx> once in the front end
[22:08] <EdMarx> ?
[22:08] <tgm4883> yea
[22:08] <tgm4883> once in the videos section
[22:08] <EdMarx> ok
[22:09] <EdMarx> I know.. i have a lot of questions but… how do you rip the movies to the videos folder?
[22:09] <EdMarx> wait
[22:09] <EdMarx> nevemind
[22:57] <EdMarx> tgm4883: still there?
[22:57] <tgm4883> for a few minutes
[22:58] <EdMarx> 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] <tgm4883> doubtful. what does the /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log say
[22:59] <EdMarx> checking.. fyi even with vlc player without fronted guy still dint work
[23:02] <EdMarx> it says a lot of things
[23:02] <EdMarx> am I supposed to be looking for anything inparticular
[23:03] <tgm4883> pastebin them
[23:03] <tgm4883> and the backend logs too
[23:03] <tgm4883> although if VLC can't play it either, I'd say it's an issue with the file
