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