| dmfrey | tgm4883, is it possible to do a reinstall of all the myth transcode packages, if any? my HLS transcodes produce 0 byte segment files | 14:29 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | dmfrey: are there specific transcode packages? | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | dmfrey: there is a way to reinstall packages, but I'm not aware of any that are specific to transcoding | 16:25 |
| dmfrey | tgm4883, hmm, i am guessing something was missed in an upgrade a while back | 16:54 |
| dmfrey | this was occurring on 12.04 and is also occurring on 14.04 | 16:55 |
| dmfrey | at some point i am gonna have to bite the bullet and reinstall fresh, i feel | 16:55 |
| dmfrey | unless there is a safe reinstall on the mythtv packages that won't blow away my db | 16:55 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: 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 14.04 | 17:10 |
| gedakc | http://gedakc.users.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=pvr-mythbuntu1204-to-1404 | 17:10 |
| Kwisher | gedakc: great writeup | 17:23 |
| gedakc | Kwisher: Glad you enjoyed it. :-) | 17:25 |
| Kwisher | adding to my bookmarks for future reference | 17:26 |
| gedakc | I'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 |
| Kwisher | very nice, thanks | 17:32 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, 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 install | 18:26 |
| dmfrey | Kwisher, how's it going sir? | 18:26 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: If you are migrating 14.04 to a fresh install of 14.04, I anticipate you would encounter less problems. | 18:28 |
| Kwisher | dmfrey: good, how about yourself? | 18:28 |
| dmfrey | Kwisher, doing well, working on the new Mythtv for android, watching the flyers :) | 18:30 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, i think my problem is that some time back a db upgrade either failed or never occurred, most likely failed | 18:31 |
| dmfrey | i am completely unsure why the HLS transcoding generates 0 byte .ts files | 18:31 |
| dmfrey | but the hls .html and .m3u8 files all have appropriate contents | 18:31 |
| Kwisher | dmfrey: can you test with a vm? | 18:32 |
| Kwisher | maybe subnet it off your lan to not cause conflicts | 18:32 |
| dmfrey | yes, i could dump the db, do a fresh install in virtualbox and then follow gedakc instructions for restoring | 18:32 |
| Kwisher | might save you some time and headaches :) | 18:33 |
| dmfrey | yup | 18:34 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: best wishes with your migration to a fresh install. The steps I documented are the ones I used for 3 PVRs. | 18:35 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, that is some good stuff. one of the best write-ups I've seen on this. | 18:36 |
| gedakc | I 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 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, I agree, that's why i do the mythtv app for android as well | 18:46 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: Cool! Which android mythtv app do you work on? I recently acquired an android device and would like to check it out. :-) | 18:53 |
| gedakc | Ah, I see you are listed as a committer on mythmote. :-) | 18:59 |
| Kwisher | gedakc: you see no performace issues with a software raid for recordings vs a single disk? | 19:02 |
| gedakc | Kwisher. 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 |
| Kwisher | ok, i have 7 tuners | 19:07 |
| Kwisher | 3-4 simultaneous recordings max plus watching livetv | 19:08 |
| gedakc | I'm guessing that 7 tuners just might exercise a single disk or software raid a wee bit more that my 4 tuners. ;-) | 19:08 |
| Kwisher | i record 99% from my 4 OTA tuners | 19:09 |
| Kwisher | the other 3 are a hdhr prime | 19:09 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, search the play store for MythTV Android Frontend | 19:17 |
| dmfrey | however, I am in the process of re-writing it, re-branding as MythTV Player for Android | 19:17 |
| dmfrey | no 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 content | 19:18 |
| dmfrey | 1 app will work on phone/tablet, Android TV and Chromecast | 19:18 |
| dmfrey | at least that is the hope | 19:18 |
| dmfrey | if you try the current app, go join the g+ beta community for it, there is a newer version in there | 19:19 |
| Kwisher | question: 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 |
| cnjj | dmfrey: 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 |
| cnjj | Also, 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/538021 | 19:54 |
| cnjj | Although 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 |
| dmfrey | cnjj, it should. i haven't heard that it wasn't working | 20:16 |
| dmfrey | are you using the beta? | 20:16 |
| dmfrey | if not, switch to that | 20:16 |
| dmfrey | in the g+ community | 20:16 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: 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 |
| gedakc | Did you work on mythmote too? | 20:21 |
| gedakc | Kwisher: I've noticed that if I have poor OTA reception during recording, the show entry in MythTV shows in yellow text. | 20:25 |
| cnjj | If 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 |
| cnjj | Huh, that looks different from the play screenshots. | 20:31 |
| cnjj | Oh, nope. Wrong search result. Yeah, that was what I was using. | 20:32 |
| cnjj | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mythtv | 20:32 |
| dmfrey | gedakc, 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 amazon | 20:33 |
| dmfrey | getting to be too many app stores | 20:33 |
| dmfrey | anyone is free to take the code and package it up for out there | 20:33 |
| gedakc | dmfrey: 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 |
| gedakc | Is there another way to get the .apk file? | 20:36 |
| gedakc | I 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-Frontend | 20:40 |
| dmfrey | that is current | 20:43 |
| dmfrey | i am gonna move this new repo out there when i get a bit more done on it | 20:44 |
| dmfrey | there are really good instructions on the wiki page in the github repo for setting up the dev environment | 20:44 |
| dmfrey | they will need to change for Android Studio | 20:44 |
| dmfrey | but for that version that is out there, they will suffice for now | 20:44 |
| gedakc | I 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 |
| gedakc | I can try importing the code using Android studio. | 20:46 |
| dmfrey | ah, i didn't realize they pulled that | 20:46 |
| dmfrey | yes, it should make you a new copy of the code, not tied to github, but usable in AS | 20:46 |
| gedakc | I was surprised too. I was planning to set up eclipse, and then this change happened. | 20:46 |
| dmfrey | i was hesitant at first as well for AS, but now I really like it | 20:47 |
| dmfrey | never used intellij before | 20:47 |
| gedakc | I've use eclipse and emacs while I maintain GParted. | 20:48 |
| dmfrey | i have been using eclipse since 2001 | 20:48 |
| gedakc | That's much longer than me. I only used emacs back then. :-) | 20:48 |
| dmfrey | i don't like in intellij that you can't have more than 1 project open at a time, like in eclipse | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | but i am adjusting | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | for work, i have about 20+ web applications I work on/maintain | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | having to keep switching workspaces would drive me crazy | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | as they all are interrelated | 20:49 |
| dmfrey | i.e. through REST calls | 20:50 |
| dmfrey | and not being able to run more than one at one time would really slow down my productivity | 20:50 |
| dmfrey | by run, i mean locally, on my laptop | 20:50 |
| dmfrey | i gotta head out | 20:50 |
| dmfrey | will be back on later if you have questions about the setup | 20:51 |
| gedakc | Okay. I'll try compiling your code. | 20:51 |
| dmfrey | later | 20:51 |
