wangelgreetings everyone.  Quick question:  I  have a backend running:  MythTV Version : v0.26.1-34-g81ce5c0    .  If I download 14.04 to install as a new frontend, will it work?  0.27 doesn't use protocol version 75 does it?19:59
wangelor does 14.04 not have 0.27?20:00
wangelor still; if I decide to upgrade to 0.27, if I change the repo in the mythbuntu control center and run apt-get update, will it update my db and everything? :D20:09

Hydroponx14.04 should have 27 by default, if i'm not mistaken (and I could be)20:11
wangelthat's what I thought20:11
Colossus_I was thinking that I had read somewhere they required that you have 0.26 before upgrading, though mythbuntu says to wait for 14.04.1 to do the upgrade... don't know where I saw that20:13
Hydroponxyea, I'm 0.26 right now haven't made the jump to 0.27 because I haven't found a windows build for it yet20:14
Colossus_you run front and back ends on windows or just frontends?20:14
Hydroponx1 frontend20:14
Colossus_nice20:14
Hydroponxthe combined front/backend is mythbuntu20:15
Colossus_I may have to try it out on windows again... would add additional versatility to the frontend20:15
HydroponxIO20:15
HydroponxI've also wired the house w/ cat 6e20:15
Colossus_yeah, I did that a couple years ago... pain, but worth it20:16
Hydroponxyea, i finally broke down last winter20:16
Hydroponxcrawlspace made it not so bad, had to run speaker wire too figured, might as well do both since i'm in the crawlspace20:17
Colossus_ha20:18
Colossus_yeah, looking back, I should have run more cables... but oh well, too lazy to redo it20:18
HydroponxI want to add two more cat 6 runs, but they aren't "needs"20:18
Colossus_yeah, i was able to work some feng shui (sp?) on my hardware to make due with what I have run20:19
HydroponxI just had to re-build my backend due to a fried board20:23
Colossus_ouch20:25
Hydroponxeh, it wasn't too bad20:25
Hydroponxfound a board for ~65 picked up fx-6300 on sale20:26
Colossus_I recently switched systems for my backend... to something more powerf riendly20:26
Colossus_ahh, nice... 6 core...20:26
* Colossus_ has wondered if that's useful20:26
Colossus_:D20:26
Colossus_I moved from a quad core athlon ii to a turion n54l (hp microserver)20:27
Hydroponxi've been converting all my movies lately20:27
Hydroponxhad load averages > 9 for hours on end w/ no real issues20:27
Colossus_ahh20:27
Colossus_I usually use another system for transcoding20:28
Colossus_I did try out realtime transcoding to h264 from live tv when I was running the quad though... for my tablet20:28
Hydroponxmy only complaint right now is there's a brief audio stutter when changing channels20:28
Colossus_but then found a player with hardware accelerated mpeg2 that just plays them straight up, so I figured I didn't need it20:28
Colossus_hmm20:29
Colossus_yeah, wangel was saying 0.27 was supposed to contain a bunch of improvements for live tv20:29
Colossus_I'm still on 0.25 :(20:29
Hydroponxoh20:29
Colossus_though I rode out 11.10 with 0.24.1 until it started telling me every day to "upgrade your stupid system"20:29
Colossus_so I don't know when I'll upgrade :)20:29
Hydroponxnice20:29
Kwisherwill i have any issues importing my .26 db into a fresh .27 install?20:30
HydroponxI wouldn't think so20:30
Hydroponxyou'll probably have to run mythtv-setup to upgrade it to .27 though20:30
Kwishermythtv-setup would be a given on a fresh install20:31
Colossus_don't forget to backup20:33
Kwisheryeah, clonezilla image before i begin :)20:33
Kwisheri backup the db daily20:33
Colossus_heh, man, I clonezilla's my image before separating my recordings from my system and db when I switched machines... talk about a loooooong backup20:34
Kwisheryeah, my recordings are on a separate partition20:35
Colossus_definitely better that way20:35
Colossus_I h ave a 2tb for recordings, a 2tb for videos/movies and right now a 250gb for system/db, but it's slow, so I may upgrade that20:35
Hydroponxoh20:36
HydroponxI guess i did over-engineer mine20:36
HydroponxI have 4 2tb drives shared for storage, + 500GB boot20:36
Colossus_heh, wow20:36
Colossus_oh, yours is a nas as well?20:36
Hydroponxcould be :)20:36
Colossus_heh20:36
Hydroponxbut, no, it's primarily myth... moved my music over working on migrating movies and converting to mp420:37
Hydroponxthen I can start on dvd's20:37
Colossus_ahh20:37
Colossus_yeah, having dvds on the system instead of in a stack/case somewhere is so much handier20:38
Colossus_although those dvd changer towers are really cool looking20:38
Colossus_:D20:38
HydroponxGF was hating it for a while20:38
Hydroponxrecently found an IR receiver that works with both myth and my harmony remote20:38
Colossus_cool20:39
Colossus_link?20:39
Colossus_:D20:39
Colossus_I bought a flirc... but still haven't set it up20:39
tgm4883flirc ftw20:39
Hydroponxit's an old HP p/n 5188-166720:39
Colossus_hmm20:39
tgm4883I bought one and it's awesome20:39
Hydroponxonly disappointment with it is the red/blue/yellow/green buttons aren't being picked up20:40
tgm4883super easy to map it to keyboard keys, only have 1 remote now20:40
Colossus_I've h ad pretty good success with the generic rosewill remotes and receivers... though some have horrible usage angles20:40
Colossus_for use with mce remotes anyway20:40
Hydroponxthis one works really well, a little slow to respond some times20:42
Colossus_hmmm20:42
Colossus_http://www.amazon.com/HP-Infrared-Receiver-Center-5188-1667/dp/B000Z7XJME20:43
Hydroponxthat's it, just beware20:43
Hydroponxa lot of people are seeling other models that don't work as well and labeling it the 5188-166720:44
Hydroponxat least, that's what I've heard about happening on ebay20:44
Colossus_ahh, ebay... yeah... wild west these days20:44
HydroponxI learned a valuable lesson the other day20:46
Colossus_always check for a toilet seat in the dark before sitting down?20:46
Hydroponxthe high-voltage wall boxes are not well suited for cat620:46
Colossus_ahh20:47
Colossus_:)20:47
Hydroponxfixed 2 of the 3 I used those for20:47
Hydroponxwas causing a problem with the cable crimping and intermittent connectivity drops20:48
