| ubuntuaddicted | i just opened mythweb for the first time in a long time i want to schedule a new series that's on AMC and the option to record the series is missing. I only have 4 options for recording. | 05:02 |
|---|---|---|
| rhpot1991 | ubuntuaddicted: the recording rules changed a while bac, I want to say 0.27 release | 05:03 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i have don't record, record only this showing, find and record one showing of this title, and record at any time on any channel. what happened to record this show in this timeslot every week? | 05:04 |
| rhpot1991 | you probably want "any time on any channel" with the "this series" checkbox | 05:04 |
| rhpot1991 | I normally do "any time on any channel" with the "high definition" "new episode" and "this channel" checkboxes | 05:04 |
| rhpot1991 | if you want time slot there is "this time" checkbox | 05:05 |
| rhpot1991 | see under filters | 05:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ahhh, i see now. | 05:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | thanks, that's weird they added the filters vs the various rules. | 05:05 |
| rhpot1991 | my method normally gets me all new showings of a show on a specific channel | 05:05 |
| rhpot1991 | drop the "new episode" to get past episodes too | 05:05 |
| rhpot1991 | the filters are there to give you the same control you used to have | 05:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it's a brand new show, about the 80's computer boom. should be interesting | 05:06 |
| rhpot1991 | I forget the reasoning, but you should be able to get the same results | 05:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | so i checked, New Episode, This Series, This day and Time, and This Channel. that should do it right> | 05:07 |
| rhpot1991 | is it "halt and catch fire?" | 05:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yeap | 05:07 |
| rhpot1991 | I'll have to poke at that, AMC hasn't let me down yet | 05:07 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd drop this time and day | 05:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i agree | 05:07 |
| rhpot1991 | only cause amc reruns like crazy | 05:07 |
| rhpot1991 | so if you happen to miss one it can snag a rerun | 05:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | good point but it won't record it twice right? | 05:08 |
| rhpot1991 | nope, as long as you don't mess with "Duplicate Check method:" | 05:09 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i didn't check High Definition because believe it or not i still get an analog signal over my internet line from TWC. So i'm still using a PVR-350 and a PVR-500 | 05:09 |
| rhpot1991 | I do HD check by default so I don't get it on one of my analog stations by acciden | 05:09 |
| rhpot1991 | t | 05:09 |
| rhpot1991 | ah, I have a few of those just sitting in my closet | 05:09 |
| rhpot1991 | comcast country so hdhr prime works well for me | 05:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i'm just waiting for the day that TWC stops broadcasting the analog signal, than I am not sure what to do to be hoenst | 05:10 |
| rhpot1991 | comcast cut it and you have to use dta's | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | I stopped using my pvr-xxx's then | 05:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | dta? | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | went to clear qam, but they cut that not so long ago too | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | digital transition adapter I want to say | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | the thing that converts their digital to analog for your legacy hardware | 05:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ah ok, so there's a chance when they drop the analog signal that they'll still transmit clear QAM? | 05:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i don't pay for cable right now. i only pay for an internet line | 05:12 |
| rhpot1991 | normally yes | 05:12 |
| rhpot1991 | I believe TWC is still clear qam friendly too | 05:12 |
| rhpot1991 | and yes i've heard of people getting internet and having clear qam, sometimes needing to remove a filter that the cable co placed | 05:13 |
| rhpot1991 | that part may or may not be a good idea | 05:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | they never came to my house to install a filter which is why i still get the ananlog | 05:13 |
| rhpot1991 | probably depends where they place it | 05:13 |
| rhpot1991 | http://customer.comcast.com/Pages/FAQViewer.aspx?seoid=What-is-a-digital-adapter | 05:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | so which HDHR would I look into if TWC stops sending the analog signal considering i don't pay for any cable | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.amazon.com/SiliconDust-HDHomeRun-Compatible-Streaming-HDHR4-2US/dp/B00GY0UB54/ref=dp_ob_title_ce | 05:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yeap, TWC has those as well BUT they only give them to people who pay for cable | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | probably that one | 05:15 |
| rhpot1991 | your choice would then be clear qam, or antenna | 05:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | the dta you linked me is only if i wanted to still use my PVR's correct? | 05:15 |
| rhpot1991 | ya | 05:15 |
| rhpot1991 | you have to get those from the cable co though, so you can't really get away without paying then | 05:15 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yeah i know | 05:15 |
| rhpot1991 | also keep in mind HD is much harder to play back then SD video | 05:16 |
| rhpot1991 | so your hardware might need an overhaul too | 05:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | how does that DLNA work in those new HDHR's? i was reading a little about them awhile back | 05:16 |
| rhpot1991 | normally you can just get by with something from nvidia that can do vdpau | 05:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yeap, i'm aware. | 05:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | thanks | 05:16 |
| rhpot1991 | if you have devices that can stream dnla you can connect right to it | 05:16 |
| rhpot1991 | take for instance my samsung tv | 05:16 |
| rhpot1991 | it can talk to my hdhr and my nas | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | that said the interface is junk | 05:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | currently my frontends are both running XBMC, 1 on an original apple tv and the other on an ATV2 | 05:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ah ok | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | so you prefer xbmc over mythfrontend? | 05:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | the oriinal atv won't be able to play back the hd streams i doubt | 05:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yes | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | how is mythtv support there anymore? | 05:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i love XBMC as a frontend | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | back when I checked it couldn't do comm skipping | 05:18 |
| rhpot1991 | and support for mythtv versions lagged behind | 05:18 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it's awesome, | 05:18 |
| ubuntuaddicted | all current and up to date. the PVR addon for xbmc is a huge deal now | 05:18 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it has support for tvheadend, mythtv and others | 05:18 |
| rhpot1991 | one of our devs was contemplating doing a theme for it to match our mythfrontend one | 05:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i will say though that I don't use commflagging so i can't speak on that | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | if you hang around I'm sure he can chime in at some point if that is still a possibility or not | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: ^ | 05:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | tgm is a good guy, he's the dev for mythbuntu right? | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | you should, its a great feature | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | one of us | 05:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ok, he's the one i always see responding in the ubuntu forums. | 05:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i'm running mythbuntu 14.04 on my server now. well, sort of. it was upgraded from 12.04 and i have that nasty mysql bug | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | which one is that? | 05:21 |
| ubuntuaddicted | my backend used to be very low powered so i never enabled commflagging. it was just a P4 with 1GB of RAM | 05:21 |
| rhpot1991 | if you have other hardware around you can make it a 2nd backend and offload the commflagging there too | 05:21 |
| ubuntuaddicted | but now i'm running an A8-3870k with 4GB of RAM so maybe i should look into enabling commflagging | 05:21 |
| rhpot1991 | for SD video that shouldn't be much work at all | 05:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i could but i got rid of it. it was a dell dimension 8200 i believe | 05:22 |
| rhpot1991 | just use your new one I say | 05:22 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i was running it headless towards the end | 05:22 |
| rhpot1991 | what mysql bug are you hitting? | 05:23 |
| ubuntuaddicted | the one where doing anything within mythbuntu-control-centre results in Exception in compareState of plugin Repositories Disabling Plugin. Let me find the forum thread | 05:24 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i had this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2220885&page=3 | 05:26 |
| rhpot1991 | looks like tgm4883 fixed it and it just needed to get pushed | 05:33 |
| rhpot1991 | unfortunately its a pain to get things pushed post release, lots of paperwork involved | 05:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | trying to enable backups using mcc, it just keeps crashing over and over. | 05:35 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i've already set up backups myself using mythconverg_backup.pl so it's not a big deal to me. | 05:36 |
| ubuntuaddicted | where do i set up commflagging anyway? | 05:37 |
| rhpot1991 | it is on the user job page in either mythtv > setup > general via frontend, or in mythtvbackend-setup | 06:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yeap, i found it. thanks | 06:17 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gotta get to bed, take care. thanks for your help | 06:20 |
