| stevie_man | I'm wondering if someone can provide me with some guidence. I've been running a Media portal setup (2 frontend and 1 supposed backend) I have been unsuccessful at getting the frontends to connect to the backend for the TV server. I was thinking I might try Myth. I played with a while back and it seemed pretty decent. | 03:15 |
|---|---|---|
| stevie_man | The problem I have is the MP frontend work well for videos, movies and pictures right now and I don't want to trow away the working system escpecially with the wife getting used to it | 03:16 |
| stevie_man | Is there a way I can use a live CD to test mythbuntu connecting to a backend on my Debian 6 server? Superm1 was helping me out earlier but trying to get mythbuntu .25 working on my squeeze box seemed like an impossible task | 03:17 |
| tgm4883 | stevie_man, the frontend on the live cd can connect to any 0.25 backend | 03:18 |
| stevie_man | so if I can find a .25 deb for the backend server the mythbuntu live cd would work fine? | 03:18 |
| tgm4883 | stevie_man, yes | 03:18 |
| stevie_man | So if it works then I can use my time to get .27 backend working instead of spending time on something that is likely going to be replaced | 03:19 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 03:20 |
| stevie_man | tgm4883: great thanks | 03:21 |
| stevie_man | is there a mythbuntu live cd iso that runs myth .24 still available? | 03:55 |
| superm1 | not that we host - you might find it somewhere else. another idea you can try to do is to boot your backend on the ISO | 03:59 |
| superm1 | it's possible to configure the backend if you set up a HDD based storage group | 03:59 |
| superm1 | and rename the upstart jobs that gets disabled on the ISO | 03:59 |
| sabhain | Is it possible to freeze the "DefaultTVChannel" setting to a fixed value so that starting Live TV on a front end will always choose a certain channel / tuner / input? | 04:01 |
| Jay2k1 | sabhain: i guess that if you find out where this setting is stored in the DB and when it is being written, you could use a (hackish) workaround and have a cronjob execute a mysql insert to overwrite it with a channel of your choice if you don't find a way to set it in the frontend | 08:36 |
| sabhain | Jay2k1: Thanks for the input. I've thought of that, but have strong desire to stick to a production (.27 fixes) setup. | 11:01 |
| sabhain | Having an issue where we like to use a tuner which is the sole tuner on a Slave Backend for Live TV. But if that tuner is in use for a recording, then LiveTV won't start. It seems that myth won't roll over to another input on the master if it's trying to get LiveTV from the slave. | 11:03 |

| superm1 | sabhain: you can't mess with priorities? | 14:43 |
| superm1 | i could sworn there was a way to set priority on individual tuners specifically for live tv usage | 14:43 |
| superm1 | but maybe it doesn't work on multiple backends like that | 14:44 |
| sabhain | superm1: I'm playing with it now to try and force a certain input, but it seems like myth's preference is for the FE to go back to the last channel tuned. | 17:25 |
| sabhain | so the priority thing works for the first time LiveTV is started, but if you exit and go back in .. it sticks to the same tuner. | 17:26 |
| sabhain | If I could figure out why it won't roll over to a tuner on the master backend, the problem goes away .. | 17:26 |
| sabhain | pre 0.27 there was a setting to avoid conflicts with LiveTV / Recordings, but as best I can tell, the setting was removed in 0.27. I "know" it was there in .25 .. pretty sure it was there in .26. But went to .27 to get away from some of the mythloggrabber bugs. | 17:29 |
