| qwebirc98279 | I am trying to install mythplugins, but it keeps getting stuck at the flash installation. Please help! | 01:13 |

| sabhain | Hi, what's the magic argument for mythfilldatabase to force it to pull the program data without updating the channel list? | 01:15 |
| sabhain | I really need it to stop resurrecting deleted channels based on the guide data. | 01:15 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: are you using schedules direct? | 01:21 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: if so, hide the channels there, and then once deleted in myth they'll never re-populate | 01:21 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: that's the correct way to do it... otherwise, i think you can use "--remove-new-channels" | 01:24 |
| sabhain | skd5aner: thanks. Yes, using schedules direct, but have 3 different tuner types (just added a new one). | 01:41 |
| sabhain | Can I have multiple lineups at SD? | 01:41 |
| sabhain | all based on their existing? | 01:41 |
| sabhain | for example, i don't want my HD-PVR/STB combo to use channels that my HDHR's can use, so I delete them in the setup for the HD-PVR, but they keep coming back. Schedules direct doesn't seem to let me add my digital lineup twice, and rename it. | 01:46 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: yes, you can have multiple listings on SD | 01:46 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: I have a listing for just my analog tuners, a listing for my HDPVR, and a listing for my HDHR | 01:47 |
| skd5aner | they each only provide the channels relavent to that particular tuner that would use it | 01:47 |
| sabhain | thats precisely my setup too. The analogs are easy, as there's a separate lineup. | 01:47 |
| skd5aner | I believe you can have up to 4 lineups | 01:47 |
| sabhain | but how do you keep the HDHR and HDPVR apart if they have some of the same channels? | 01:48 |
| sabhain | are you using Antenna for the HDHR? | 01:48 |
| skd5aner | QAM | 01:48 |
| sabhain | I mean the lineup. | 01:48 |
| sabhain | For me, the HDHR and HDPVR are both linked to the same digital cable lineup. How do I separate them if I can't add the same digital lineup twice and edit them differently? | 01:49 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: I have a video source in mythtv set up for each type of tuning - analog, HD-PVR, and QAM... | 01:50 |
| sabhain | and on Schedules Direct, what do each of those point to? | 01:51 |
| skd5aner | sabhain: I actually am looking now | 01:51 |
| skd5aner | I have 2 lineups on SD, one for the analog, and one for the digital cable | 01:52 |
| skd5aner | if you had an antenna, you'd have one for that | 01:52 |
| sabhain | Ok, that reflects what I have (1 analog, one digital) | 01:52 |
| skd5aner | my qam and HDPVR one both use the "digital cable" one, but what I did is HIDE channels for each tuner the channels that I don't want (or can't tune) that tuner too | 01:53 |
| skd5aner | sorry, I'm kind of remembering how I set this up as I talk through it outloud - I don't have to think about it very often | 01:53 |
| sabhain | got it .. hide. | 01:53 |
| skd5aner | yes... | 01:53 |
| skd5aner | Hide allows the tuner to not use it, even though SD provides data for it | 01:53 |
| skd5aner | but it will not show up in the guide and it will not use the data to schedule recordings - it's as if the channel doesn't exist from a scheduler or live tv perspective | 01:54 |
| sabhain | I understand completely. I had set it up 6 years ago, and forgot it (just analog and HDHR at the time). Just did the upgrade to 12.04 and added 2 HD-PVR's .. and now have this new scenario that I wasn't prepared for. | 01:54 |
| sabhain | but if it's hidden, and you're on the HD-PVR, and tune directly to a number that is hidden, I believe it will still try to tune it. | 01:54 |
| skd5aner | so, for example... | 01:55 |
| skd5aner | I have SD provide analog and digital lineups, but I have 3 video sources | 01:55 |
| sabhain | You and I have what sound like "exactly" the same scenario. | 01:55 |
| skd5aner | each video source will have it's own channel lineup... so you can hide a channel associated with 1 video source,, but not the other | 01:56 |
| skd5aner | as an FYI, I use the channel editor in mythweb to flip the hide bit | 01:56 |
| skd5aner | quicker that way | 01:56 |
| skd5aner | but you have to be more careful | 01:56 |
| sabhain | yep .. | 01:56 |
| skd5aner | you could also do it directly in the db, but that's not recommended | 01:57 |
| skd5aner | you do have to know your video source ID though to make that work | 01:57 |
| sabhain | while you're here .. you're not by chance running your HD-PVR off a slave backend are you? | 01:57 |
| skd5aner | which input ID is associated with which video source ID.... | 01:57 |
| skd5aner | ha, yes... I am | 01:57 |
| skd5aner | Slave Backend/frontend | 01:57 |
| sabhain | too funny .. | 01:57 |
| sabhain | any problems getting the slave backend to connect to the master when it's run as a service in the usual fashion? | 01:58 |
| sabhain | in my setup right now, the HD-PVR appears as "unavailable" unless, I kill the startup mythbackend, and run mythbackend from inside a console. | 01:58 |
| sabhain | the auto-start backend doesn't appear to be able to connect with the master .. but if I log a user in, open a terminal and run mythbackend .. connects fine. | 01:59 |
| tgm4883 | sabhain, sounds like incorrect credentials in config.xml | 02:00 |
| sabhain | on the slave backend? | 02:00 |
| tgm4883 | could be. What happens if you log in as the mythtv user and start the backend? | 02:00 |
| skd5aner | yea, what's your backend log say? | 02:01 |
| sabhain | hmmm ... let me check .. what's the mythtv user password if it hasn't been changed? | 02:01 |
| tgm4883 | sabhain, it's generated on install | 02:01 |
| tgm4883 | there is no default pass | 02:01 |
| sabhain | any text file I can drag that from? | 02:02 |
| sabhain | nm I'll just change it. | 02:02 |
| tgm4883 | sabhain, well if it works for your user | 02:03 |
| tgm4883 | then /home/<your user>/.mythtv/config.xml | 02:03 |
| skd5aner | tgm4883: did you happen to see my update on my upstart script issues the other day? | 02:03 |
| tgm4883 | no | 02:03 |
| skd5aner | tgm4883: it was in mythtv-users... | 02:04 |
| skd5aner | thought I fixed it, but no luck... | 02:04 |
| sabhain | tgm4883: thanks! The xml files were different. Copied the one from the user that worked and now trying to restart to see if it works | 02:07 |
| sabhain | tgm4883: tremendous help. Thanks .. can't believe I didn't think of that .. was so focused on the other setup file .. | 02:10 |
| sabhain | of course it shows up as available .. now tuning doesn't seem to be working, but I have some progress. | 02:17 |
| sabhain | one step forward, 3 steps back | 02:25 |
| sabhain | now the slave backend process starts & connects. Thanks for the help on that. | 02:29 |
| sabhain | but with the reboot, I'm now getting the dreaded "irsend: hardware does not support sending" | 02:29 |
| sabhain | dmesg reports the zilig initiation wen't ok, and the blaster appears as lirc0 .. | 02:30 |
| sabhain | I can't described how much I despise TWC and their QAM practices. | 02:30 |
| sabhain | if anyone can point me to the best resource for lirc debugging, that'd be great. I appear to have the modules loaded correctly, dmesg reports successful load. | 02:51 |
| sabhain | but I'm getting "irsend: could not connect to socket" which is typically indicative of lircd not running (it is) or (/var/run/lirc/lircd lacking write permissions .. it has them). | 02:52 |
| sabhain | 1 hour ago, before fixing my problem with the backend automatic startup, lirc was working fine. I would periodically need to kick it .. but it functioned. Now, not so much. | 02:53 |
| sabhain | Can't get anything out of even command line irsend | 02:53 |
| sabhain | sorry to flood the channel. | 02:53 |
| sabhain | skd5aner: thanks for the recommendations on the guide data, went with your approach and it seems to have resolved the channel issues. Thanks so much. | 04:23 |

| TandyUK | hey guys, having some issues with a myth box not working with its remote, ive done all the usual diags but im missing something somewhere... | 14:45 |
| TandyUK | its a new windows mce ir blaster, which is showing up, and using irw i can see keypresses | 14:45 |
| TandyUK | its also seen by mcc and dkpg-reconfigure and i have tried setting it up as an mce remote, as well as /dev/input... | 14:46 |
| TandyUK | but mythtv is not seeing the keypresses that irw does | 14:46 |
| TandyUK | mythfrontend rather | 14:46 |
| TandyUK | any suggestionswhat to check next? | 14:47 |
