[14:29] tgm4883, is it possible to do a reinstall of all the myth transcode packages, if any? my HLS transcodes produce 0 byte segment files [16:25] dmfrey: are there specific transcode packages? [16:25] dmfrey: there is a way to reinstall packages, but I'm not aware of any that are specific to transcoding [16:54] tgm4883, hmm, i am guessing something was missed in an upgrade a while back [16:55] this was occurring on 12.04 and is also occurring on 14.04 [16:55] at some point i am gonna have to bite the bullet and reinstall fresh, i feel [16:55] unless there is a safe reinstall on the mythtv packages that won't blow away my db [17:10] 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] http://gedakc.users.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=pvr-mythbuntu1204-to-1404 [17:23] gedakc: great writeup [17:25] Kwisher: Glad you enjoyed it. :-) [17:26] adding to my bookmarks for future reference [17:29] 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. [17:32] very nice, thanks [18:26] 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] Kwisher, how's it going sir? [18:28] dmfrey: If you are migrating 14.04 to a fresh install of 14.04, I anticipate you would encounter less problems. [18:28] dmfrey: good, how about yourself? [18:30] Kwisher, doing well, working on the new Mythtv for android, watching the flyers :) [18:31] gedakc, i think my problem is that some time back a db upgrade either failed or never occurred, most likely failed [18:31] i am completely unsure why the HLS transcoding generates 0 byte .ts files [18:31] but the hls .html and .m3u8 files all have appropriate contents [18:32] dmfrey: can you test with a vm? [18:32] maybe subnet it off your lan to not cause conflicts [18:32] yes, i could dump the db, do a fresh install in virtualbox and then follow gedakc instructions for restoring [18:33] might save you some time and headaches :) [18:34] yup [18:35] dmfrey: best wishes with your migration to a fresh install. The steps I documented are the ones I used for 3 PVRs. [18:36] gedakc, that is some good stuff. one of the best write-ups I've seen on this. [18:38] 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. [18:46] gedakc, I agree, that's why i do the mythtv app for android as well [18:53] dmfrey: Cool! Which android mythtv app do you work on? I recently acquired an android device and would like to check it out. :-) [18:59] Ah, I see you are listed as a committer on mythmote. :-) [19:02] gedakc: you see no performace issues with a software raid for recordings vs a single disk? [19:04] 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. [19:07] ok, i have 7 tuners [19:08] 3-4 simultaneous recordings max plus watching livetv [19:08] I'm guessing that 7 tuners just might exercise a single disk or software raid a wee bit more that my 4 tuners. ;-) [19:09] i record 99% from my 4 OTA tuners [19:09] the other 3 are a hdhr prime [19:17] gedakc, search the play store for MythTV Android Frontend [19:17] however, I am in the process of re-writing it, re-branding as MythTV Player for Android [19:18] 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] 1 app will work on phone/tablet, Android TV and Chromecast [19:18] at least that is the hope [19:19] if you try the current app, go join the g+ beta community for it, there is a newer version in there [19:35] 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? [19:53] 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. [19:54] 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 [19:55] 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. [20:16] cnjj, it should. i haven't heard that it wasn't working [20:16] are you using the beta? [20:16] if not, switch to that [20:16] in the g+ community [20:21] 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] Did you work on mythmote too? [20:25] Kwisher: I've noticed that if I have poor OTA reception during recording, the show entry in MythTV shows in yellow text. [20:30] 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. [20:31] Huh, that looks different from the play screenshots. [20:32] Oh, nope. Wrong search result. Yeah, that was what I was using. [20:32] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mythtv [20:33] 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] getting to be too many app stores [20:33] anyone is free to take the code and package it up for out there [20:36] 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] Is there another way to get the .apk file? [20:40] 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 [20:43] that is current [20:44] i am gonna move this new repo out there when i get a bit more done on it [20:44] there are really good instructions on the wiki page in the github repo for setting up the dev environment [20:44] they will need to change for Android Studio [20:44] but for that version that is out there, they will suffice for now [20:45] 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. [20:46] I can try importing the code using Android studio. [20:46] ah, i didn't realize they pulled that [20:46] yes, it should make you a new copy of the code, not tied to github, but usable in AS [20:46] I was surprised too. I was planning to set up eclipse, and then this change happened. [20:47] i was hesitant at first as well for AS, but now I really like it [20:47] never used intellij before [20:48] I've use eclipse and emacs while I maintain GParted. [20:48] i have been using eclipse since 2001 [20:48] That's much longer than me. I only used emacs back then. :-) [20:49] i don't like in intellij that you can't have more than 1 project open at a time, like in eclipse [20:49] but i am adjusting [20:49] for work, i have about 20+ web applications I work on/maintain [20:49] having to keep switching workspaces would drive me crazy [20:49] as they all are interrelated [20:50] i.e. through REST calls [20:50] and not being able to run more than one at one time would really slow down my productivity [20:50] by run, i mean locally, on my laptop [20:50] i gotta head out [20:51] will be back on later if you have questions about the setup [20:51] Okay. I'll try compiling your code. [20:51] later
