davey486anyone here07:18
kyewrunning mythtv 0.26 and had front end running on another box and suddenly today it no longer will connect. Updates ran on the mythbuntu backend last night but I have no idea what might have changed...?07:59
TandyUKguys... mythbuntu 12.04.1 iso. is that a live cd/dvd?10:34
TandyUKguys... mythbuntu 12.04.1 iso. is that a live cd/dvd?12:27
TandyUKanyone here, or nobody knows??12:27
sabhainTandyUK: I do believe it is a live cd13:59
rhpot1991TandyUK: yes i tis14:20
TandyUKa pretty useless live cd yeah....15:58
TandyUKmy backend is running an up to date 0.26 mythtv15:58
=== chiluk is now known as chiluk_away
TandyUKthe live cd needs a newer database version, which gets about 400 meg of updates, including kernel, x, etc15:59
TandyUKso different question..15:59
TandyUKis it possible to do a network install of an up to date ubuntu 12.04 with mythtv 0.2616:00
TandyUKi guess youdneed to add the update repos at the point of setup so it can just grab the latest version16:01

TandyUKanyone here ever ripped vhs videos to digital using mythtv17:36
TandyUKi have a nova-t 500 in one of my frontends, which i have 2 vhs recorders attached to17:37
TandyUKi guess ill need to somehow add the s-video input #1 and #2 as channels on the (secondary) backend, so mythth can be set to record for a fixed time, syncronized with pressing the play button17:38
TandyUKok, heres one for the devs...18:14
TandyUKwhen you freshly install a mythbuntu machine, on first boot it auto starts the frontend, which then asks for language and database settings18:14
TandyUKnow i need to update to 0.26 and reboot before i can actually connect to my backend18:15
TandyUKif i cancel,the frontend exits with status 13018:15
TandyUKwhich is detected as a crash and it auto restarts18:15
TandyUKhow do i close the frontend until ive got it all up to date?18:16
rhpot1991TandyUK: ssh in and kill it?18:16
rhpot1991I normally ssh in, upgrade, then reboot18:16
TandyUKnah im doing this on site for once, want the customer to see what actually goes on18:22
TandyUKbut yeah i sshed and killed it :)18:22
TandyUKthe cust has a load of old vcrs which he wants to burn to archive, and burn some on to dvd18:23
tgm4883don't start the frontend before you upgrade to 0.26?18:32
tgm4883why do you have to reboot?18:32
tgm4883oh wait18:32
tgm4883I thought you were talking about the live cd for some reason18:32
TandyUKi think the livecd should have a few newer builds, like 0.25 i386/x64 and 0.26 i386/x6419:00
TandyUKim sure whatever script handled it could do a 0.27 beta iso too19:00
TandyUKor perhaps just have a single livedvd19:01
rhpot1991TandyUK: they get whatever was available when they were spun19:07
rhpot1991it is easy enough to add the updates repos and update it, then run the latest19:07
TandyUKyeah just annoying and time consuming when on site, and you have a perfectly good 100mb link back at the office...19:13
TandyUKthe site has like 6mb19:13
TandyUKmachine is now up tho with mythtv setup connected to the master backend19:13
TandyUKso now to get my 2 svideo inputs working and hooked up to channel numbers19:14
TandyUKok any ideas how i do that?19:44
TandyUKi have added the cards, added a listing source for each vcr19:44
TandyUKconnect the input (Svideo1) to the source, and it wants me to scan for channels19:45
TandyUKat which point it tries tuning the card rather than just using the inout19:45
tgm4883TandyUK, I haven't set up svideo input in a long time, but it sounds like you didn't connect the right stuff up in mythtv-setup19:46
tgm4883TandyUK, although there is probably some better software for doing what you want anywy19:46
tgm4883since you will need to have it fake a channel, et19:46
TandyUKyeah thats what i dnt know how to do19:47
TandyUKthe end result just needs to be super simple19:47
tgm4883TandyUK, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/S-Video/Composite_Input_Recording19:47
tgm4883should be similar19:47
TandyUKty, btw wtf did you google to get that?19:48
* TandyUK has been looking for hours lol19:48
tgm4883mythtv svideo input19:48
tgm4883first link19:48
* tgm4883 goes to get lunch 19:49
TandyUKok well progress, but when i try to watch channel 199 (what i used as the number)20:39
TandyUKthe tuner is already watching channel X on a different card (and different backend)20:39
TandyUKwhen i change to 199, i get told20:40
TandyUKMythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel you selected. .....20:40
tgm4883TandyUK, does the mythweb say it's in use?20:46
TandyUKok sorte at last22:44
TandyUKi have composite inputs working giving me a colour picture22:44
TandyUKhowever i have no sound22:44
TandyUKthe only choice in getting in mythtv-setup is alsa:default22:44
TandyUKits a pvr-500 card22:45
TandyUKok found its wiki page22:46
TandyUKok regarding the sound (on a page talking about 0.20) the fixes involve using ivtvctl which is not installed by default22:53
TandyUKany reason this is not there by default (any more?)22:53
TandyUKmpegrecorder.cpp:635 (GetFilteredAudioSampleRate) MPEGRec(/dev/video1): Audio sample rate 32000 Hz#012#011#011#011is not supported by ivtv driver, using 48000 Hz instead.23:16
TandyUKi have no idea where it would be getting 32khz from, all settings i saw i left at the defaults, but i thought they were all 4xxxx23:17
