I'm using mythfrontend , i cant be typing sudo ever time i want to shutdown |
| [00:00:24] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
i have tryed visudo |
| [00:00:42] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
no luck, |
| [00:00:58] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
hads: where can i find this setting |
| [00:01:09] |
J-e-f-f-A: |
ubuntuEdgy: My shutdown command is set to "poweroff", which the mythtv user is allowed to execute. |
| [00:01:10] |
hads: |
In mythfrontend, under settings. |
| [00:01:25] |
hads: |
Possibly general, I can't remember |
| [00:02:17] |
hads: |
Damn, forgot to have breakfast. |

I'm going to test it now if i don't come back, it will have been successful |

now it says "poweroff: Need to be root" |

cesman: |
you need to edit /etc/sudoers |
| [00:06:12] |
cesman: |
something like |
| [00:06:27] |
cesman: |
username ALL=NOPASSWD:/path/to/poweroff |
| [00:07:03] |
cesman: |
then in mythtv the command to power off should be sudo /path/to/poweroff |
| [00:07:04] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
i have done that with no luck, do i need to reboot after changing this file ? |
| [00:07:17] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
ohh i see |
| [00:08:23] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
if that's the case then i need to change the settings on mythtv to "/sbin/halt" |
| [00:08:25] |
** cesman waits for retraction on not understanding.... ;) ** |
| [00:10:43] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
still no luck i have modified that visudo file to " myuser ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt" |
| [00:11:06] |
cesman: |
the user may have to log out and back in |
| [00:11:12] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
and i have put "/sbin/halt" in the mythtv settings |
| [00:11:22] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
ok brb |

You'll need to use sudo... |

Yes, well you will need to use sudo... |

There's no point editing sudoers if the command you are using doesn't call sudo |

ubuntuEdgy: |
sudo mythfroned ? |
| [00:13:34] |
hads: |
Think about it. Do you need to run mythfrontend as root? |

ubuntuEdgy: |
no |

hads: |
Correct |
| [00:14:11] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
? |
| [00:14:38] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
yes is do |
| [00:14:53] |
hads: |
I don't think you quite get the concept of sudo yet. |
| [00:15:23] |
hads: |
Edit the mythtv shutdown command setting and add sudo in front of the command. |
| [00:15:28] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
its to get root privileges :-P |
| [00:15:41] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
ok thanks |
| [00:15:48] |
hads: |
Otherwise how would the OS know that you wanted to use sudo? |

It doesn't just magically do these things. |

is it worth the extra $200 to get an contrast ratio of 10,000:1 vs. 1200:1, with a 1ms difference between the two tv's |
| [00:32:19] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
be patient |
| [00:32:59] |
kormoc: |
spinull, more depends on you then anyone else |
| [00:33:05] |
spinull: |
how so? |
| [00:33:39] |
hads: |
$200 doesn't seem like much for that bigger difference, but if you can't tell the difference visually then there isn't much point. |

this is driving me nuts ... I'm using Debian Etch ... the ivtv module(s) load at boot .... the lirc_i2c module doesn't ... if i modprobe lirc_i2c then it loads, and everything is ok, so i know it works .... i just can't find the proper place to add modules to load at boot :-/ |

i ran 'grep -R ivtv /etc' with no results |

/etc/modules_something maybe? |

hads: |
/etc/modules |
| [00:34:29] |
spinull: |
i can tell the difference |
| [00:34:44] |
jimbalaya: |
the only thing listed in the /etc/modules file is 'loop' |
| [00:35:04] |
hads: |
Just put lirc_i2c in there |
| [00:35:05] |
spinull: |
is it going to drive me nuts later when im seeing it, should i decide to go with the cheaper one |
| [00:35:23] |
hads: |
There's your answer :) |
| [00:35:50] |
spinull: |
i |
| [00:35:50] |
jimbalaya: |
hads: do i put 'modprobe lirc_i2c' or just, as it seems i should, 'lirc_i2c' |
| [00:35:58] |
hads: |
The latter |
| [00:36:07] |

...and to have lircd run at boot, i should add a script named /etc/init.d/lircd ... right? |
| [00:39:08] |
hads: |
How did you install lirc? |
| [00:39:32] |
spinull: |
im gonna go with the LG then, higher contrast ratio and 1ms faster response |
| [00:40:38] |

hound: |
Does anybody get usable results with commercial detection? I never seems to work correctly for me... even with strict commercial detection on. I understand it probably wouldn't work on every channel, but maybe I'm doing something wrong too? |
| [00:41:19] |
jimbalaya: |
yeah, it's in my source directory.... and I remember having issues with apt-getting it |
| [00:41:32] |
hads: |
You're better off (IMHO) to install using module assistant and debs, that way you get the init script and everything. |
| [00:41:45] |
cesman: |
hound: works well here! |
| [00:42:01] |
hound: |
I like the logo detection idea, I was thikning it would look for the TV age logo that shows after every commercial, but it totally messed up when I tried only that method |
| [00:42:11] |
hads: |
jimbalaya: Unless you have trouble or need a newer version that is. |
| [00:42:23] |
hound: |
cesman, do you leave your commercial method set to : all availble methods? |
| [00:42:34] |
jimbalaya: |
i had issues with apt-get and module assistant, but the source worked perfectly |
| [00:43:18] |
hads: |
You could try just installing the lirc package. That contains the init script which might work for you. |
| [00:44:02] |
hads: |
Although it might also be too debianised to work with a source install. |

what about a DVI input? |

cable box -> hdmi -> hdmi-to-dvi cable -> myth? |

Tanthrix: |
irq: HDMI is is basically DVI with audiop, so no. |
| [00:55:39] |
irq: |
so basically it's almost impossible to use mythtv to record HD? |
| [00:56:11] |

oh i did tanthrix |

irq: |
oh, i did |
| [00:58:39] |
irq: |
my, did i ever |
| [00:59:03] |
irq: |
but the farthest i got was them submitting something to their "accounting department", and being told that they'd get back to me in 7 days. then i asked how they'd contact me, and i was told that i actually have to call in |
| [00:59:27] |
irq: |
and from what little googling i've done, many, many people are in the same situation as i am, regarding the forced-commitment and soon-to-be-obsolete-tivo, and none of them have been able to get out of it |
| [00:59:27] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: How long were you on the phone? I've spent 2 hours dealing with that stuff before. Eventually after going in circles it becomes too costly for them to keep talking, so often they will give in. |
| [00:59:42] |
irq: |
according to my treo, 85 minutes, over 2 phone calls |
| [01:00:19] |
irq: |
if it wasn't for this recent force-commitment, i could have canceled directv, as i had no other commitment (had their service for over a year, etc) |
| [01:00:25] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: If you feel that you've exhausted that option I would call them up, ask to talk to a supervisor, and tell them if they don't get this fixed that you are taking the matter to small claims court. |

irq: |
it was the supervisor i was talking to, and i actually DID mention the small claims court thing! |
| [01:00:44] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: And if they still don't listen, go read up on filing a claim. |
| [01:00:51] |
irq: |
i swear, after the first phone call, i spent a long time looking around the net for what tactics i could use |
| [01:01:08] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: Definately go through with it. Don't give in, no matter how tempting and frustratingly depressing it is. |
| [01:01:22] |
irq: |
how much of a pain in the ass is it to file a claim, and will it be worth $300 in terms of fees and how much of my time it takes? consider that my sanity is about 85% drained by my own day job |
| [01:01:35] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: I suspect that given the small amount of money if you actually did take them to small claims court they would give in to shut you up |
| [01:01:45] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: That's why they always win unfortunately. |
| [01:02:06] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: Rather, that's why they get away with this stuff. |

irq: |
i found a faq for small claims in california |

** Tanthrix almost just got screwed over by Best Buy so he's rather cranky about the business tactics of modern, large corporations ** |
| [01:02:35] |
irq: |
$30.00 to file, that's not bad |
| [01:03:00] |
irq: |
my other worry is that even if i go through small claims court, they'll still put a mark on my credit report |
| [01:03:20] |
Tanthrix: |
Well, you should definately pay. Don't just cancel the charges. |
| [01:03:53] |
Tanthrix: |
But if they release you from the contract due to you winning I would think that it would be illegal for them to do anything with your credit report. |

i don't think directv cares about the law |

Tanthrix: |
(Said there was a 25 percent restocking fee on special order items, so I looked up the special order items page, said the TV would have a "special order item" button if it was a special order item, didn't have it, yet they still tried to tell me it was) |
| [01:06:51] |
Tanthrix: |
I got around it by calling back a few days later on returning it as defective, and it looks like it's going to work out, so I was lucky. |
| [01:07:07] |
irq: |
the worst part is i think i might end up just keeping directv if their accounting department doesn't remove the commitment for me |
| [01:07:08] |
Tanthrix: |
Not after spending 1.5 hours arguing on the phone, getting stressed out and pissed off, etc.. though |
| [01:07:29] |

i've already determined that right now anyway, getting a decent DVR for HD programming is too expensive |

I've decided to vote with my dollars now – I'm never buying anything from Best Buy again, and I just bought my new TV set from Costco (the best company in the world) |

irq: Do you have comcast cable in your area? |
| [01:08:11] |
irq: |
no, Cox |
| [01:08:25] |
Tanthrix: |
irq: I'm in Portland, Oregon and I pay 62 for digital cable and 11.95 a month for an HD dvr and 15 HD channels |
| [01:08:28] |
irq: |
they don't provide a tivo-branded dvr, and aside from myth, that's the only kind of dvr i'll use |
| [01:08:38] |
irq: |
i can buy a hd-tivo that will work with their stuff, but it's $800 or $600 on ebay |
| [01:08:45] |
Tanthrix: |
You are right. The comcast DVR is the buggiest POS I've ever used |
| [01:08:51] |
irq: |
which is $800 more than i have to spend right now, as i paid $200 for this receiver i can't use |

irq: Any way your friend will take it back? |
| [01:13:08] |
irq: |
well, probably, but i don't want to ask him to, as it was just sitting in his garage for a year (he can't use it, he lives in an apartment with no way to install a dish) |
| [01:13:10] |
irq: |
also, he's my boss |
| [01:13:24] |
irq: |
i can sell it on ebay though, for $200 roughly |
| [01:13:41] |
irq: |
but i'll probably keep it, because it still looks better than my older directivo which used svideo (this one uses hdmi) |

irq: had he had service on the box before or was it still brand new and unactivated? |
| [01:18:25] |
irq: |
he had service for over a year, which was the length of his commitment |

Mythtv seems to check ~/.mythtv/lircrc if ~/.lircrc does not exist. This is fine, but I'm trying to get multiple frontends running under one user. This is working, but I don't think (could be my error) mythtv is checking the respective MYTHCONFDIR folder as specified... anyone else seen this? |
| [01:31:02] |
cesman: |
there is no if, mythtv uses ~/.mythtv/lircrc not ~/.lircrc |
| [01:31:09] |
jroysdon: |
hey, is cx23416 a normally supported chipset for MythTV? One place reports it as using the blackbird driver, which I thought didn't have support... |
| [01:32:02] |
jd99: |
cesman, alright, sorry, but it should use MYTHCONFDIR/lircrc right? |
| [01:32:19] |
jd99: |
I just thought I saw in logs it was looking for ~/.lircrc, I must have been mistaken. |

jd99: |
But... my c++ isn't all that great, and I don't know if this is the right place... but QString config_file = MythContext::GetConfDir() + "/lircrc"; if (!QFile::exists(config_file)) config_file = QDir::homeDirPath() + "/.lircrc"; it looks like it is checking the conf dir from mythtv, and if that fails going to ~/.lircrc (backwards from what I said) I need to figure out why it didn't go into the confdir at all for me. |
| [01:36:35] |
cesman: |
jroysdon: mythtv doesn't care about the chipset perse...most anything support by v4l/v4l2, ivtv, dvb and a few others should work |

hrm how can I set a recording to always just record the latest, non-rerun version of a show... |
| [03:34:55] |
sandeen_: |
I had shows on "this time every week" but then scrubs moved dammit :) |
| [03:35:00] |
sandeen_: |
yet, my tivo still caught it |
| [03:36:37] |
cesman: |
you want record at anytime on this channel |
| [03:36:44] |
jasmarc: |
can i watch live tv without it trying to cache it? i just rigged up a proof of concept setup but don't have the necessary disk space yet and its failing to 'watch tv' because its trying to record |
| [03:37:03] |
cesman: |
it won't record a show that is already recorded unless you tell it to |
| [03:37:36] |
ubuntuEdgy: |
can any one please help me with a # MythShutdownCheck script for the backend |
| [03:38:05] |
cesman: |
jasmarc: it _must_ cache that is how a PVR works |
| [03:38:22] |
cesman: |
that is how you can pause, review, etc |
| [03:38:41] |
cesman: |
if you want, you can use another program like xawtv for livetv |
| [03:38:51] |
cesman: |
check the mythtv archives for details... |
| [03:38:54] |
jasmarc: |
cesman yeah... i see.... the default setup wanted an extra gig of space so i cranked that down to zero to see if it would help |
| [03:39:11] |
sandeen_: |
cesman, but any time on this channel will probably catch non-first-runs... |
| [03:39:15] |
sandeen_: |
well, I suppose that's better |
| [03:39:25] |
