[14:09] ello all [14:10] +h [14:10] lol [14:10] Has anyone here successfully ran any kind of MythTV setup in a virtual machine? The backend most importantly. [14:12] I have a working MythTV setup on an SSD in my i5-2500k desktop, and I can get it to mount an use the OS (Funtoo Linux) just fine, but when I try and get MythTV Backend stuff working, it doesn't seem to want to. i.e. I can't connect to it from the host side of the virtualization setup [14:12] I use VirtualBox 4.2.4 [14:18] feel free to msg me if you have any insights :) [15:20] Shiggs|MB, can you get to it from the guest OS? [15:24] I think so yeah [15:24] wait [15:25] I've tested this theory with the latest Mythbuntu, and within itself I can connect to the backend fine, but when I try from the host side it's all yeah no [15:27] and I think I might have effed up my database... Great. >_> [15:31] Shiggs|MB, I'm unsure exactly how you are trying to get to mythtv-setup from the host OS [15:31] Shiggs|MB, I've gotta leave for work, back in about 30 minutes [15:32] I gotta sleep [15:32] but I'll PM you how I want it setup [15:32] Shiggs|MB: you need to set bridged net [15:33] I did [15:34] can you mount a net share in the guest? [15:35] yep. I made a link to a physical hdd via vboxmanage [15:36] can you ping host -> guest [15:36] now that I think about it I think it's a database issue [15:36] bind-address issue [15:36] could be [15:36] you do have to allow it iirc [15:38] good news though: my db is fine [15:38] <3 [15:38] errm grats ;) [15:38] xD [15:38] I was messing around with msql stuff and I was so worried lol [15:39] ahh, stick phpmyadmin on the machine and do a quick export before messing ;) [15:40] though I'm one step closer [15:43] tgm4883 and gracent here's how I want to run my backend: I want to virtualize it via VBox (it accessing my Linux SSD and recordings drive) on a Mac OS X host. I also want the ability to connect to the local backend from host to guest, to playback recordings that could be recorded to the recordings drive... I wanna do it like this because I have it setup how I like it, but I prefer to run OS Xas my main OS [15:44] can you guys follow that description/desired use? lol [15:44] I've almost got it [15:44] <_< [15:44] well you need to add a user entry to mysql->users that's a copy of the one already there but with '%' for the host [15:44] then reload privs [15:44] yeah I think I did that [15:44] you mean flush em?> [15:44] u must yeah [15:45] hmm [15:45] if you still can't connect watch for firewalls [15:45] I don't use any [15:46] though maybe there's one set in VBox? [15:46] no but make sure you can ping guest->host [15:46] k [15:46] I'll try that now [15:47] if not let me know guest + host ip's [15:47] well they are different... [15:47] host is 192.168.25.129, and guest is static'd to 192.168.25.180 via my router [15:48] booting VM now [15:48] should be ok then [15:49] how do you plan to record tv ooi? [15:49] ooi? [15:49] out of interest [15:49] ah [15:49] HDHR via 'over the air' free broadcast cable :) [15:50] lan job - k [15:50] and crap... I've had this problem before... mysql is loading before dhcpcd and it's hanging >_> [15:50] It's not Ubuntu though... it's Gentoo-based [15:50] Funtoo [15:50] you should be ok, IO in vbox might get choked if the host is busy writing to disk [15:51] ahh dunno that I'd check the Gentoo wiki [15:51] well it'll all be writing to a physical SATAII disk [15:51] as it has been when booted up physically [15:52] k [16:06] stop [16:06] Shiggs|MB, what you described isn't running mythtv-setup from the host [16:07] Shiggs|MB, what you described, is the second most common thing to do with mythtv [16:07] ah [16:07] so I'm not the only one [16:07] xD [16:07] Correct, you aren't the only one who wants to use mythtv for what it was designed to [16:08] haha [16:08] Shiggs|MB, so just let me clarify, the guest OS is on the same network as the rest of your computers? [16:08] well all I really want is for the backend to be in a VM so I won't have to reboot [16:08] yep [16:08] Shiggs|MB, are you running Mythbuntu in that Guest OS? [16:09] well I was testing it yes [16:09] Shiggs|MB, Open up mythbuntu-control-centre, enable the MythTV service, reboot and your done [16:09] providing gracent didn't screw up your system [16:09] lol [16:10] well I have a working MythTV setup on Gentoo/Funtoo Linux on a physical SSD [16:10] that's giving me sql issues at [16:10] m [16:10] Shiggs|MB, then edit the upstart jobs to depend on what you need them to depend on [16:10] eg. networking/mysql/etc [16:21] and I can indeed ping the host from the VM [16:39] omg so close! I can connect from within the VM to the local-to-it backend! [16:43] gracent: ! [16:43] I'm getting close [16:44] Shiggs|MB: Where you stuck? [16:44] I can get it to connect to itself, but not from the host yet [16:45] Shiggs|MB, in mythtv-setup, what do you have the IP addresses set to? [16:46] yeah I'm checking [16:47] it was set wrong [16:47] omg if this works I'll so gd happy [16:47] lol [16:49] I'll be* [16:49] I also assigned more CPUs to it lol [16:49] I was wondering why it was so slow [16:50] yeah that kills vm's in vbox - apparently [16:51] heh [16:51] it was sh*t slow [16:51] god [16:51] lol [16:52] it was waiting for a schema upgrade lock [16:52] o_O [17:09] hmm videos play within VM login to backend [17:09] but sorta sluggish [17:09] and no audio [17:11] cya later chaps [17:12] lata [23:13] hello, how can I see what firmware my HDPVR has on it? I ran the driver installer in windows, but it isn't clear if that only updated my driver or if the firmware as well [23:15] hilo: hdhomerun_config [23:18] superm1, is that a utility? [23:18] hilo: yeah [23:18] superm1, thanks [23:18] there is a GUI version too if you want [23:18] cli is fine :) [23:18] in package hdhomerun-config-gui [23:18] kk [23:19] that works with the hauppauge hd-pvr? It is not an hd homerun device. [23:21] oh hdpvr [23:21] sorry i read that as HDHR, been dealing with HDHR problems this last hour [23:21] i'm not sure on HDPVR how to do that [23:21] no problem thanks anyway [23:22] I have had this thing for 2 years and have yet to get it working in myth as a recorder [23:22] you might want to check mythtv-users and if no luck there on the ML [23:22] left it on a shelf out of annoyance for a while. about to take another shot at it [23:22] alright thanks
