__raven0.26 in tv mode: volumen control does not work with any key, i already reconfigured it. ideas?15:26
__raven...17:10
lux3___raven: did you set a soundcard in frontend audio settings? and try disabling/enabling software mixer17:27
lux3_does someone know if it's possible to prevent the computer from shutting down while a recording is running? i would like to set a cron job to shutdown the pc, but i don't want the pc to shutdown as long as a recording is running17:28
__ravenlux3, ok tnx ill test it asap17:29
lux3_i want to have the pc running during the day and shutdown at night, except if there is a recording to do17:29
Jay2k1you can use mythshutdown to check if it's safe to shut down17:29
lux3_Jay2k1: mythshutdown --safeshutdown would that be right? and how is the wakeup time set? do i have to configure something to set wakeup time?17:31
Jay2k1hmm i use mythshutdown --check17:35
Jay2k1not sure if safeshutdown also sets wakeup time17:35
Jay2k1i use the automatic shutdown of mythbackend17:38
SteveGoodeylux3_: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythwelcome17:39
Jay2k1ah, it does.17:41
lux3_mythshutdown --setwakeup creates a acpi/rtc alarm to wake up the machine right?17:45
lux3_ok it only sets the wakeup value in the db. (why?). how do i set the time in the bios?17:48
lux3_i guess mythshutdown --check returns 0 if no jobs are running and returns 1 when some job is running?17:57
lux3_so i would use something like "mythshutdown --check && halt" ?17:57
lux3_which shuts down when no jobs are running and does nothing if jobs are running17:58
lux3_is that correct?17:58
Jay2k1uh yeah18:00
lux3_ok thanks18:00
Jay2k1there are different return values for different things but 0 means safe18:00
lux3_ok18:00
lux3_now i need a script that checks every 5 minutes if mythtv is done with all jobs and if it is, shuts down18:02
lux3_Jay2k1: what value would be: no recordings running, but commercial flagging18:02
Jay2k1i don't know18:02
lux3_oh and the script needs to set up the wakeup time for the next recording how can i do that?18:02
Jay2k1uhm18:04
Jay2k1afaik that's a 3rd party command anyway18:04
lux3_Jay2k1: so how can i do that?18:06
Jay2k1i guess that depends on your board18:06
Jay2k1for me, nvram-wakeup works18:07
Jay2k1i think there was a second tool18:07
lux3_the wiki says i simply need to do "echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 5 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm"18:08
Jay2k1ah right18:09
Jay2k1that method doesn't work with my board18:09
lux3_yeah on my old board i used nvram-wakeup too, but i think now i can use the acpi method18:09
Jay2k1so i have to use nvram-wakeup18:09
lux3_how do i set the wakeup time to the next recording?18:09
Jay2k1i don't know, i let mythtv handle that stuff18:10
Jay2k1as for the check command, i made a script that checks the return value of mythshutdown --check and also checks that there are no users logged in via ssh18:11
lux3_weird. cat /proc/driver/rtc reports my time as 2 hours before18:13
Jay2k1so you live somewhere in europe, in the utc+2 timezone i guess18:14
lux3_ah daylight savings time, ok18:14
lux3_that's why it +218:14
lux3_it's18:15
lux3_i would like to set the wakeup time manually to the next recording and not let mythtv do it before shutting down, how can i do it manually?18:17
lux3_does mythbackend shut down when a client is connected?18:30
lux3_what does the option "wait for frontend" mean?18:34
lux3_i'm trying the checklogin script but i have a question: does it prevent mythtv from shutting down when a recording is running? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup#Integrate_into_MythTV18:49
lux3_or should i set "/usr/bin/checklogin.sh && mythshutdown --check" in mythtv settings?18:50
lux3_how does mythtv set the wakeup time? how does it get access to /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm??19:14
