qwebirc62691ok, Im sure this will be a bit of a stupid question -but Im at a loss...01:21
qwebirc62691Im trying to back my video content up to a cifs share, and if I use a windows box & go to network neighborhood I can copy from the CIFS share on my ubuntu box over to a CIFS share on my freenas box, but directly from my mythbuntu box -When I try to go to thunar & do Ctrl+L like everywhere is saying to dirrectly connect to a CIFS share, its not taking smb://01:21
qwebirc62691What am I doing wrong here?  :)01:21
AnthonyUKI have a Peak Hardware DVB-T Dual tuner also known as Kworld DVB-T PC160-2T, what I want to find out is do these cards have the onboard encoders or does the cpu have to do it for them, reason I want to know is I have one of these cards and would like another one, but before I change my ssytem i gota make sure my cpu is up to the task.01:56
tgm4883AnthonyUK, digital cards don't have hardware encoders. Or are you talking about for the analog side (I didn't look to see if they had an analog side)01:57
AnthonyUKhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hardware_Requirements01:59
AnthonyUKif you scroll down to "Performance Issues" they talk about onboard compression there02:00
AnthonyUKthe cards i have are digital tho to confirm your question02:00
AnthonyUKanalogue tv was shut down in my area of the uk a few years back02:00
AnthonyUKso am I worrying over nothing? do all digital cards compress anyway, was it only an issue with analogue transmissions02:01
tgm4883AnthonyUK, digital cards don't have hardware encoders because digital signals already are compressed02:01
AnthonyUKseems obvious now you say it hehe02:02
tgm4883a DVB card just dumps the stream to disk02:02
tgm4883it's usually mpeg2-ts02:02
tgm4883heh, it seems obvious, but it's always a good idea to check ;)02:02
AnthonyUKits just occurded to me i could instruct my cards to record 2 channels at same time and find the command that brings up cpu usuage in linux02:03
AnthonyUKthanks for you help tbg488302:08
tgm4883yw02:08
AnthonyUKjust one more question, the minimum and recommended system requirements on this page02:08
AnthonyUKhttp://www.mythbuntu.org/support02:08
AnthonyUKare they for frontend, backend or both?02:09
tgm4883AnthonyUK, frontend probably02:11
tgm4883AnthonyUK, backend shouldn't take much RAM/CPU at all02:11
tgm4883just HD space02:11
AnthonyUKcool02:11
