[01:21] <qwebirc62691> ok, Im sure this will be a bit of a stupid question -but Im at a loss...
[01:21] <qwebirc62691> Im 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] <qwebirc62691> What am I doing wrong here?  :)
[01:56] <AnthonyUK> I 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.
[01:57] <tgm4883> AnthonyUK, 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)
[01:59] <AnthonyUK> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hardware_Requirements
[02:00] <AnthonyUK> if you scroll down to "Performance Issues" they talk about onboard compression there
[02:00] <AnthonyUK> the cards i have are digital tho to confirm your question
[02:00] <AnthonyUK> analogue tv was shut down in my area of the uk a few years back
[02:01] <AnthonyUK> so am I worrying over nothing? do all digital cards compress anyway, was it only an issue with analogue transmissions
[02:01] <tgm4883> AnthonyUK, digital cards don't have hardware encoders because digital signals already are compressed
[02:02] <AnthonyUK> seems obvious now you say it hehe
[02:02] <tgm4883> a DVB card just dumps the stream to disk
[02:02] <tgm4883> it's usually mpeg2-ts
[02:02] <tgm4883> heh, it seems obvious, but it's always a good idea to check ;)
[02:03] <AnthonyUK> its 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 linux
[02:08] <AnthonyUK> thanks for you help tbg4883
[02:08] <tgm4883> yw
[02:08] <AnthonyUK> just one more question, the minimum and recommended system requirements on this page
[02:08] <AnthonyUK> http://www.mythbuntu.org/support
[02:09] <AnthonyUK> are they for frontend, backend or both?
[02:11] <tgm4883> AnthonyUK, frontend probably
[02:11] <tgm4883> AnthonyUK, backend shouldn't take much RAM/CPU at all
[02:11] <tgm4883> just HD space
[02:11] <AnthonyUK> cool
[02:13] <AnthonyUK> now i just gota find a motherboard on ebay that is 1)cheap 2)supports the low power 1.6cpu im buying 3) has gigabit lan and 3) has lots of pci slots
[02:13] <AnthonyUK> hopefully my homeserver will use alot less power
[02:13] <AnthonyUK> cheers for you help once again tgm4883
