dmfreytgm4883, is it possible to do a reinstall of all the myth transcode packages, if any?  my HLS transcodes produce 0 byte segment files14:29
tgm4883dmfrey: are there specific transcode packages?16:25
tgm4883dmfrey: there is a way to reinstall packages, but I'm not aware of any that are specific to transcoding16:25
dmfreytgm4883, hmm, i am guessing something was missed in an upgrade a while back16:54
dmfreythis was occurring on 12.04 and is also occurring on 14.0416:55
dmfreyat some point i am gonna have to bite the bullet and reinstall fresh, i feel16:55
dmfreyunless there is a safe reinstall on the mythtv packages that won't blow away my db16:55
gedakcdmfrey:  If you are considering a fresh install of 14.04 and migrating your 12.04 db and recordings, I documented my experience of Migrating Mythbuntu 12.04 to Mythbuntu 14.0417:10

Kwishergedakc: great writeup17:23
gedakcKwisher:  Glad you enjoyed it.  :-)17:25
Kwisheradding to my bookmarks for future reference17:26
gedakcI've written a few articles on MythTV.  All of these are listed under the documentation tab of the above link.  I have also written about Kobo with GNU/Linux, and streaming TV shows.17:29
Kwishervery nice, thanks17:32
dmfreygedakc, Thanks I will check it out.  I already did the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, but I am gonna check this out to get some tips on backing up and restoring on a fresh install18:26
dmfreyKwisher, how's it going sir?18:26
gedakcdmfrey:  If you are migrating 14.04 to a fresh install of 14.04, I anticipate you would encounter less problems.18:28
Kwisherdmfrey: good, how about yourself?18:28
dmfreyKwisher, doing well, working on the new Mythtv for android, watching the flyers :)18:30
dmfreygedakc, i think my problem is that some time back a db upgrade either failed or never occurred, most likely failed18:31
dmfreyi am completely unsure why the HLS transcoding generates 0 byte .ts files18:31
dmfreybut the hls .html and .m3u8 files all have appropriate contents18:31
Kwisherdmfrey: can you test with a vm?18:32
Kwishermaybe subnet it off your lan to not cause conflicts18:32
dmfreyyes, i could dump the db, do a fresh install in virtualbox and then follow gedakc instructions for restoring18:32
Kwishermight save you some time and headaches :)18:33
dmfreyyup18:34
gedakcdmfrey:  best wishes with your migration to a fresh install.  The steps I documented are the ones I used for 3 PVRs.18:35
dmfreygedakc, that is some good stuff. one of the best write-ups I've seen on this.18:36
gedakcI try to give back to the community where I can.  I prefer to use FOSS and am very impressed with MythTV.  Kudo's to all the people who work on it.18:38
dmfreygedakc, I agree, that's why i do the mythtv app for android as well18:46
gedakcdmfrey:  Cool!  Which android mythtv app do you work on?  I recently acquired an android device and would like to check it out.  :-)18:53
gedakcAh, I see you are listed as a committer on mythmote.  :-)18:59
Kwishergedakc: you see no performace issues with a software raid for recordings vs a single disk?19:02
gedakcKwisher.  So far no performance difference that I've seen.  The only time I saw degradation was when simultaneously recording four HD streams while watching a different one.  Even then there was no impact to the recorded shows, just some stuttering while viewing.19:04
Kwisherok, i have 7 tuners19:07
Kwisher3-4 simultaneous recordings max plus watching livetv19:08
gedakcI'm guessing that 7 tuners just might exercise a single disk or software raid a wee bit more that my 4 tuners.  ;-)19:08
Kwisheri record 99% from my 4 OTA tuners19:09
Kwisherthe other 3 are a hdhr prime19:09
dmfreygedakc, search the play store for MythTV Android Frontend19:17
dmfreyhowever, I am in the process of re-writing it, re-branding as MythTV Player for Android19:17
dmfreyno longer trying to be a full-fledged frontend on android, rather a player like Google Play Movies & Tv or Netflix, but with your mythtv backend serving the content19:18
dmfrey1 app will work on phone/tablet, Android TV and Chromecast19:18
dmfreyat least that is the hope19:18
dmfreyif you try the current app, go join the g+ beta community for it, there is a newer version in there19:19
Kwisherquestion: when i record CBS from OTA, lately the recordings are colored yellow in the f/e. Any ideas on what may be causing this?19:35
cnjjdmfrey: Does the MythTV Android Frontend work with 0.27?  After updating from 0.25 to 0.27.4 to deal with SchedulesDirect it hasn't been working.19:53
cnjjAlso, to reask something from a few days ago in the middle of the night; upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 causes the machine to lock-up when trying to record from the ceton Infinitv4; the closest thing I found online was: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/53802119:54
cnjjAlthough this had been working before the upgrade; I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, otherwise I was planning on just doing a clean re-install, and possible revert to 12.05 userland after burning through some recordings.  I *did* try the old kernel which didn't fix the issue, and the Ceton python script itself also causes a lock-up.19:55
dmfreycnjj, it should. i haven't heard that it wasn't working20:16
dmfreyare you using the beta?20:16
dmfreyif not, switch to that20:16
dmfreyin the g+ community20:16
gedakcdmfrey:  Just saw the mythTV Android Frontend in google play.  If the code is FOSS, you might consider putting it on F-Droid.org too.20:21
gedakcDid you work on mythmote too?20:21
gedakcKwisher: I've noticed that if I have poor OTA reception during recording, the show entry in MythTV shows in yellow text.20:25
cnjjIf that's the program I was thinking of (it's stored on github?) I was using the latest git version as of last week.  Unless there's a different branch.20:30
cnjjHuh, that looks different from the play screenshots.20:31
cnjjOh, nope. Wrong search result.  Yeah, that was what I was using.20:32
cnjjhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mythtv20:32
dmfreygedakc, i was considering it, it is all FOSS, but i am currently rewriting it from the ground up, and i had it on google play and amazon20:33
dmfreygetting to be too many app stores20:33
dmfreyanyone is free to take the code and package it up for out there20:33
gedakcdmfrey:  I understand.  A person can get spread too thin with too much to do.  I just got my Android device so I'm trying to do everything with FOSS only and no google play account.20:36
gedakcIs there another way to get the .apk file?20:36
gedakcI could build from source if you have a git repo.  The MythTV-Android-Frontend github repo had its last update 5 months ago.  https://github.com/MythTV-Clients/MythTV-Android-Frontend20:40
dmfreythat is current20:43
dmfreyi am gonna move this new repo out there when i get a bit more done on it20:44
dmfreythere are really good instructions on the wiki page in the github repo for setting up the dev environment20:44
dmfreythey will need to change for Android Studio20:44
dmfreybut for that version that is out there, they will suffice for now20:44
gedakcI just started looking at Android code on Dec 10th.  Near that time Android Studio became production and the eclipse tarballs disappeared from the android web site.20:45
gedakcI can try importing the code using Android studio.20:46
dmfreyah, i didn't realize they pulled that20:46
dmfreyyes, it should make you a new copy of the code, not tied to github, but usable in AS20:46
gedakcI was surprised too.  I was planning to set up eclipse, and then this change happened.20:46
dmfreyi was hesitant at first as well for AS, but now I really like it20:47
dmfreynever used intellij before20:47
gedakcI've use eclipse and emacs while I maintain GParted.20:48
dmfreyi have been using eclipse since 200120:48
gedakcThat's much longer than me.  I only used emacs back then.  :-)20:48
dmfreyi don't like in intellij that you can't have more than 1 project open at a time, like in eclipse20:49
dmfreybut i am adjusting20:49
dmfreyfor work, i have about 20+ web applications I work on/maintain20:49
dmfreyhaving to keep switching workspaces would drive me crazy20:49
dmfreyas they all are interrelated20:49
dmfreyi.e. through REST calls20:50
dmfreyand not being able to run more than one at one time would really slow down my productivity20:50
dmfreyby run, i mean locally, on my laptop20:50
dmfreyi gotta head out20:50
dmfreywill be back on later if you have questions about the setup20:51
gedakcOkay.  I'll try compiling your code.20:51
