[00:39:16] Oleg_: any idea why I am getting a segfault when I try co change channels in mythtv? I get this message when mythfrontend exits:

[00:39:19] Oleg_: Handling Segmentation fault: 11
[00:40:44] sphery: sounds like a broken recording profile passing data that no one ever expected to receive
[00:41:04] Oleg_: what should I do then?

[00:55:08] Quantum7: Myth on both of my machines just will not come off of Terrible Terra.
[00:55:29] Quantum7: I'm getting all the themes I DL into ~/.mythtv/themes, but selecting any of them never works.
[00:55:41] Quantum7: I choose a different one, the frontend restarts, but still Terra.
[00:56:21] Quantum7: This was the git from day-before. Could it be just that? Anyone running today's?

[01:36:59] Quantum7: Anyone running the git from today having a problem with the Theme Chooser?
[01:37:50] Seeker`: not running todays git
[01:39:02] Quantum7: :(
[01:39:42] Quantum7: Any idea when is the git posted?
[01:40:25] Seeker`: what do you mean?
[01:40:43] Quantum7: What time is the daily git posted?
[01:41:02] Seeker`: erm, git isn't daily
[01:41:12] Seeker`: do you mean mythbuntu 0.27 nightly package from the ppa?
[01:41:26] Quantum7: The source when gitted.
[01:41:55] Quantum7: It is 0.27, but nightly.
[01:42:04] Quantum7: Pure Myth.
[01:42:24] Quantum7: ... at least I thought it's nightly.
[01:42:30] Seeker`: git isn't "daily"
[01:42:35] Seeker`: its updated whenever someone commits code
[01:42:47] Quantum7: Oh Hell.
[01:42:50] tgm4883: Quantum7, it would probably help if you knew what git was
[01:42:56] tgm4883: or if we knew what you were talking about
[01:43:14] Quantum7: tgm4883: clearly we aren't communicating.
[01:43:27] tgm4883: Quantum7, clearly. Perhaps you can tell us where you are getting it from?
[01:43:36] tgm4883: then we can tell you when it gets updated
[01:43:37] Seeker`: it sounds a lot like you should stick to a prepackaged stable distribution of mythtv
[01:44:27] Quantum7: Just stow the shit.
[01:44:34] tgm4883: ?
[01:44:39] Quantum7: If you can advise constructively, fine.
[01:44:50] tgm4883: Quantum7, eat a dick
[01:45:04] tgm4883: I was trying to help you you prick
[01:45:29] Quantum7: No, you impugned my intelligence.
[01:45:47] tgm4883: Quantum7, no, you asked something that doesn't make sense, so I asked for clarification
[01:45:54] Quantum7: I'll leave the dick to you.
[01:47:17] tgm4883: Quantum7, so aside from your charming personality, is there anything else we can help you with?
[01:47:41] Quantum7: Not from you. You've never heard of https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv
[01:47:46] Seeker`: Quantum7: master from git is frequently broken, and not designed for public consumption. If you have difficulty describing where/when you got your mythtv build from, or don't understand what exactly it is when you are building it, then it may be better for your use case to stick to a stable, pre-tested version of mythtv
[01:48:01] Seeker`: master isn't for use in production systems
[01:48:03] Quantum7: Again, stow it.
[01:48:19] ** tgm4883 rolls eyes **
[01:48:34] Seeker`: Quantum7: why do you want to use master over 0.26 from mythbuntu?
[01:48:37] Quantum7: My simple question was, is anyone else seeing this. But you two have some kind of hair up your ass.
[01:49:33] tgm4883: Quantum7, it was simple advise.
[01:49:39] tgm4883: <Quantum7> What time is the daily git posted?
[01:49:47] tgm4883: That ^^ Simply makes zero sense
[01:50:00] Quantum7: tgm4883: OK not for you...
[01:50:07] tgm4883: Quantum7, no, not for anyone
[01:50:23] Seeker`: Quantum7: how about my simple question? Why do you want to use master over, say, mythbuntu 0.26?
[01:51:04] Quantum7: Seeker`: I use a special patch that is currently adapted to 0.27.
[01:51:13] Seeker`: what is the patch for?
[01:51:15] Quantum7: .. which I've adapted.
[01:51:56] Quantum7: Nobody here wants it, so I keep it to myself. This is not a friendly community.
[01:52:02] Seeker`: what is the patch for?
[01:52:12] Quantum7: Again...
[01:52:18] tgm4883: Yea, we're the ones being uncooperative
[01:52:34] Quantum7: This is not a friendly community.
[01:52:35] Seeker`: Quantum7: You're answering a different question to the one I'm asking
[01:53:00] Quantum7: Seeker`: I am explaining why I am keeping it to myself.
[01:53:14] tgm4883: Seeker`, it's probably something illegal
[01:53:15] Seeker`: Quantum7: I didn't ask why you are keeping it to yourself. I'm asking what it does.
[01:53:34] Seeker`: I didn't ask to see your patch, or why you hadn't contributed it.
[01:53:42] Quantum7: Seeker`: And I am trying to tell you I am keeping it to myself.
[01:54:09] hadees (hadees!~hadees@173.227.88.18) has quit (Quit: hadees)
[01:54:20] Seeker`: So you're asking for support for software you've 'adapted' in some unknown way, and won't tell anyone what you have actually done?
[01:54:46] Quantum7: No, I am asking what time in the world the git is put up, but nobody knows.
[01:54:55] tgm4883: Quantum7, that doesn't make any sense!
[01:55:24] tgm4883: Quantum7, fine, you cause me. It's actually 1700 local time
[01:55:30] Seeker`: Quantum7: What time does the tree open the jam?
[01:55:30] tgm4883: caught*
[01:55:37] Quantum7: I am having theme trouble with day-before, is the only reason I'm here. I now conclude that it is the particular release.
[01:55:55] Seeker`: git isn't daily
[01:56:00] Seeker`: it is updated when someone commits code
[01:56:16] Quantum7: Seeker`: thank you.
[01:56:25] Seeker`: you pull master, you get the very lastest. If it was last updated 2 years ago, that is what you get. If it iwas updated 2 secodns ago, thats what you get
[01:57:44] Seeker`: Quantum7: I'm pretty sure I told you that 15 mins ago
[01:57:53] tgm4883: Seeker`, you did
[01:58:06] Quantum7: Well then we had to get into a big fucking deal.
[01:58:25] Quantum7: ... just like always.
[01:58:39] tgm4883: always?
[01:58:40] Quantum7: That's why the talent has deserted.
[01:58:43] wagnerrp: quantum7: git isn't "put up" ever
[01:58:51] wagnerrp: git is a source control system
[01:59:00] wagnerrp: it IS the primary repository
[01:59:04] wagnerrp: it IS always up to date
[01:59:15] Seeker`: Quantum7: You're evasive, absuive and answer questions you haven't even been asked, and *we're* the ones that are unfriendly?
[01:59:35] wagnerrp: as was mentioned 15 minutes ago, when someone commits to mythtv, they commit directly to the git repository, and the changes are immediately in the git repository
[01:59:43] Quantum7: Well wagnerrp is usually reasonable. So thank you wagnerrp.

[02:01:36] wagnerrp: i suppose he's too good for packages
[02:01:57] wagnerrp: he was in here yesterday complaining about how the menu is all screwed up
[02:02:14] wagnerrp: took like two hours to get him to realize he screwed it up by creating a custom menu theme
[02:02:15] tgm4883: wagnerrp, well why aren't we all dropping to our knees to help him?
[02:02:32] wagnerrp: and finally got it fixed by blanked deleting his whole ~/.mythtv directory
[02:02:38] wagnerrp: *blanket
[02:02:46] tgm4883: It's things like that why I will never have op priviledges in this channel
[02:02:53] Seeker`: heh
[02:03:06] tgm4883: I would have bounced him from our channel in the first 10 minutes
[02:03:14] Seeker`: Tis an advantage of not being an op.
[02:03:25] tgm4883: meh, advantage for him
[02:03:33] tgm4883: I would have just fixed the glitch
[02:03:44] wagnerrp: still in the theming channel it seems
[02:04:01] tgm4883: wagnerrp, good, I'm not in there
[02:04:05] tgm4883: maybe I should join
[02:04:23] wagnerrp: hahaha... seeker just did
[02:04:45] wagnerrp: don't taunt the guy... nothing good can come of it
[02:04:49] Seeker`: was meant to be in there anyway
[02:04:55] Seeker`: irssi didn't rejoin it though
[02:05:00] tgm4883: yea, I'm just going to leave him alone
[02:05:09] tgm4883: although I'm not sure why I'm not in that channel already
[02:05:26] tgm4883: bip must have disconnected me
[02:06:46] Seeker`: I'm surprised there aren't more people in here complaining they cant get master working
[02:06:50] Seeker`: or maybe I just dont see it

[02:39:11] hmm: hi I want to be able to record tv shows while watching live tv. I am using a ceton card so there's 4 tuners, but whenever I am watching another channel and a recording is schedule, I am asked to either change channel and record or go back to the menu and record and or stop the recording. How do I simply have the recording continue recording while watching another channel. I don't want to go back to the menu if I am watchin
[02:39:11] hmm: g a sports game to re-tune into the channel again.
[02:39:37] wagnerrp: go into mythtv-setup, and change the livetv order to be the opposite of the recording order
[02:40:35] hmm: ahh ok.... I thought it was something I could setup with the frontend. Alright thanks.

[02:51:38] sphery: hehe
[02:52:01] sphery: I haven't started watching it, yet... I'll have to go in and see if I hear it
[02:52:19] sphery: so is it any good?
[02:52:41] sphery: I still haven't made up my mind whether I'm going to like it since it's a different guy from the one who played him in Smallville
[02:52:55] wagnerrp: has nothing to do with smallville
[02:53:09] wagnerrp: completely independent universe
[02:53:34] sphery: but I liked the guy who played him in Smallville
[02:55:18] wagnerrp: there's killing, and more killing, and some intrigue... that gets a bit annoying, but they make up for it with more killing
[02:59:06] sphery: hehe
[02:59:33] sphery: yeah, I read a bit about it when you said it's completely independent--and it sounds like they were going for action
[02:59:44] sphery: Here I thought it was just another spin off, but with a different actor

[03:07:15] wagnerrp: right, just found it
[03:08:04] sphery: we really need to get the profile change in place
[03:08:14] sphery: get rid of hostname usage (at least user-visible mention of hostname)
[03:08:40] sphery: and just let them choose and create profiles
[03:09:52] sphery: (and without having to mess with config.xml or HOME or MYTHCONFDIR)

[03:15:59] wagnerrp: i mean it sure sounds like homer
[03:16:12] wagnerrp: you think someone actually slipped the sound byte in there?
[03:16:21] sphery: it's a lot like it
[03:16:48] sphery: might have been something of an "uhhh", like when something knocks the wind out of a person
[03:17:02] sphery: but it had that Homer-esque quality
[03:17:08] wagnerrp: ertyu-m: stick around a few minutes, we need a third opinion
[03:17:49] ertyu-m: opinion on?
[03:18:25] wagnerrp: whether some show used a Homer "doh" in it
[03:18:34] wagnerrp: making an except, give me a second

[04:05:18] wagnerrp: psychedelic man...
[04:07:05] sphery: kslater: IIRC, there was a firmware update that enabled the color controls, but Linux drivers didn't support them, so they didn't get set properly, so there was an update to the Linux drivers, but after that, you needed an update to MythTV
[04:07:32] wagnerrp: but then that screwed up your lirc controls, so you had to update your kernel
[04:07:36] sphery: so, you need to run a relatively recent kernel and a very recent MythTV
[04:07:43] wagnerrp: and of course a kernel update brings you right back to new HDPVR drivers
[04:07:43] sphery: or you need to downgrade the firmware
[04:07:44] wagnerrp: :P
[04:07:45] kslater: yeah, I think I got my firmware too far ahead and I can't get the 3.4 kernel.
[04:07:49] sphery: no idea on any of the version numbers

[04:58:04] sphery: if my ISP offered it, I'd use it--even if I had to set up a tunnel for ipv4
[04:58:16] sphery: i.e. I'd gladly trade my ipv4 addy for a 6
[04:58:24] wagnerrp: because apparently the UK is full of ninnies on WinME and WinXP that can't use ipv6
[04:58:30] wagnerrp: oh, absolutely
[04:58:42] wagnerrp: well, no...
[04:58:48] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, i have restarted the machine and ran mythtv-setup or what have you but it's still saying it fail database autolock and can't upgrade the schema
[04:58:51] wagnerrp: you don't get an ipv6 address
[04:58:55] wagnerrp: you get your own /64
[04:59:20] sphery: but I'd think they could just upgrade their equipment to allow ipv6, then offer to let people "turn in" their ipv4 addy for a 6 block
[04:59:41] sphery: rather than making it so that the only option is ipv4 or nat'ed ipv4
[05:01:23] sphery: but, hey, this way, people won't be able to play a bunch of those evil, mind-bending video games that kill
[05:02:31] wagnerrp: seems my ISP was allocated their /32 three years ago
[05:03:15] wagnerrp: that means they can only handle 4 billion accounts... i think they need more space
[05:03:19] sphery: do they offer 6, yet?
[05:03:26] wagnerrp: nope
[05:03:28] sphery: wow
[05:03:32] wagnerrp: not that i'm aware of anyway
[05:03:40] sphery: no idea when mine got theirs, but they don't offer it, either
[05:04:03] wagnerrp: http://www.tcpiputils.com/browse/ipv6-address/2607:ff70::
[05:04:22] sphery: the reason I'm so upset with this, "glacial adoption," is the fact that I'm unable to do anything about it, but, yet, it feels like I'm being blamed
[05:04:38] wagnerrp: of course you're at fault
[05:04:44] ubuntuaddicted: so how can I fix this guys? have any thoughts?
[05:04:50] sphery: and an ipv6 tunnel over my ipv4 isn't going to speed up that glacial adoption
[05:04:58] wagnerrp: if you were using ipv6 websites, more would servers would be switching to the new address system
[05:05:15] wagnerrp: lay that egg already...
[05:05:54] sphery: hehe
[05:06:01] sphery: ok, maybe I'll set up a tunnel

[05:46:39] sphery: please put mythtv in the subject so the e-mail isn't lost
[05:47:13] sphery: (after we get the DB fixed, that is)
[05:47:35] ubuntuaddicted: i have like what seems a million of those 809 B mythconverg files
[05:47:54] sphery: ah, well, a nice handful of them would be helpful
[05:48:03] ubuntuaddicted: it looks like they are created more then once a minute
[05:48:04] sphery: including a few that are consecutive times
[05:48:26] ubuntuaddicted: ok, when done here, I will archive some up for you.
[05:48:28] sphery: yeah, I think something is seeing the error exit status and re-running the backup?
[05:49:03] sphery: thx
[05:49:46] ubuntuaddicted: im not sure why it's backing up there though, as my sudo crontab is this
[05:50:02] ubuntuaddicted: 5 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/mythconverg_backup.pl
[05:50:13] sphery: well, either cron is re-running it
[05:50:28] ubuntuaddicted: which is this: DBBackupDirectory=/var/lib/mythtv/mysql_backups
[05:50:28] ubuntuaddicted: rotate=2
[05:50:38] sphery: or something is just restarting mythbackend on a loop, and mythbackend is running backups because settings is crashed so it can't find DB schema so it thinks it needs to upgrade
[05:50:48] ubuntuaddicted: BUT, i just looked at that folder doesn't exist. not sure where it went? lol
[05:52:13] sphery: actually, if you have rotate=2, then it's mythbackend backing up--because a pre-upgrade DB backup disables rotate (in case of the restart on a loop some distros do)
[05:52:21] sphery: since you have a ton of them...
[05:52:25] sphery: I'd still like to see a few, though
[05:52:28] ubuntuaddicted: i know /var/lib/mythtv/mysql_backups existed at one time. oh well, i made it now. so future backups will be there
[05:52:48] sphery: yeah, it may have been using something from your db backups storage group, instead
[05:52:59] sphery: or may have just gone to /tmp or something
[05:53:07] sphery: (which isn't too useful if you reboot :)
[05:53:39] ubuntuaddicted: yeah, i don't think the .pl script was actually backing anything up since that folder didn't exist until now. anyway, back on track hopefully, lol
[05:53:41] kormoc: sphery, another improvement might be check the return value of mysqldump and if it's non zero, delete it and don't rotate
[05:54:02] sphery: yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm checking return value of mysqldump...
[05:54:16] sphery: anyway, I'll look into both ideas
[05:54:56] ** sphery is wondering just how much output that repair table gave :) **

[06:55:06] sphery: So, what this means is that your data files were so corrupt MySQL couldn't salvage the data (at least in some of them).
[06:55:19] sphery: your DB structure (schema) should be fine, though
[06:55:29] sphery: none of the tables were critical
[06:55:37] sphery: though settings has all of your settings/configuratoin
[06:55:46] sphery: so, you have 2 options (for tomorrow, I'd assume)
[06:55:55] ubuntuaddicted: ok, what are they
[06:56:23] ubuntuaddicted: i thought it looked like it was working?
[06:56:59] sphery: 1) run mythtv-setup, and go through all setup as if it's the first time you're configuring (though some will be there, like capture cards and channels and ...--but you should still go through and verify, and will almost definitely have to redo storage groups), then run mythfrontend and go through and configure as if it's the first time (that will be "reset" to defaults, so will need reconfiguring)

[06:57:31] ubuntuaddicted: that's it?
[06:57:43] sphery: or 2) do a partial restore of the database to reset /everything/ except recording history and recordings, then run mythtv-setup and configure as new, then run mythfrontend and configure as new
[06:58:12] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, i don't even run a traditional frontend, i use crystalbuntu and the myth protocol to view recordings and i use mythweb to schedule recorings. will mythweb work again?
[06:58:32] sphery: in 2), you would have to reconfigure everything (including capture cards and video sources and channels and input connections), but would know that the DB has no issues with any of the configuration
[06:58:36] ubuntuaddicted: it looks like option 1 is quicker?

[06:58:52] sphery: yeah, 1) is quicker, but may leave some lingering doubts
[06:59:03] ubuntuaddicted: can you help me with 2 and how long would that take?
[06:59:05] sphery: but, really, I wouldn't go so far as to recommend 2
[06:59:28] sphery: basically, 2 would please my OCD side--and probably nothing more
[06:59:35] sphery: tell you what
[06:59:39] ubuntuaddicted: i only have a PVR-350 and a PVR-500 and I use scheduledirect
[06:59:40] sphery: I'll recommend you do 1 for now
[07:00:02] sphery: and if you have any strange issues crop up in the near future, you can consider 2 at that time
[07:00:16] sphery: I really don't thing 2) has any benefits over 1
[07:00:20] ubuntuaddicted: ok, running mythbackend-setup now
[07:00:26] sphery: good luck
[07:00:50] sphery: ah, so PVR with SD means channels aren't too difficult to reconfigure
[07:00:56] sphery: that said, with 1) they're probably fine

[07:04:44] ** sphery is typing like it's 2:04 in the morning **
[07:05:01] wagnerrp: you should type like it's 1999
[07:05:03] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, it's built to run on an apple tv 1 using a broadcom crystal hd card
[07:05:33] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, did that
[07:05:37] sphery: wagnerrp: I wish I was dreaming when I typed this...
[07:05:46] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: ok, now you should be able to run mythtv-setup
[07:06:00] wagnerrp: which means type really fast, because you have those Y2K patches you still need to get in
[07:06:03] wagnerrp: :)
[07:06:06] sphery: hehe
[07:06:29] sphery: I was dreamin' when I typed this, forgive me if it goes astray
[07:08:06] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: so, did mythtv-setup run and let you reconfigure stuff?
[07:08:27] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, yes, I am configuring it now. should the IP be 127.0.0.1 for both, i always get that mixed up?
[07:08:36] sphery: yay
[07:08:42] sphery: I'd recommend not using 127.0.0.1
[07:09:06] sphery: use the routable address for "server ip address", in case you ever add new hosts
[07:09:19] sphery: and use 127.0.0.1 or localhost for mysql server
[07:10:44] ubuntuaddicted: ok, server IP is 192.168.0.5 but the mysql server resides on their as well.
[07:10:49] ubuntuaddicted: i know what you mean i think. lol
[07:11:10] sphery: OK, so this is the best scene change, ever, on Revenge... Family sitting around a breakfast table and Conrad says, "Someone please pass the pain de mie," and immediately it cuts to a room with Nolan holding a phone with a bullet hole and saying, "It's toast." :)
[07:11:22] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: yeah, that's the config I'd recommend
[07:11:37] sphery: server and this backend IP address at 192.168.0.5
[07:11:58] sphery: and DB hostname at localhost or whatever
[07:12:45] ubuntuaddicted: theres local backend and master backend IP's
[07:13:03] sphery: yeah, both of those to 192.168.0.5
[07:13:07] ubuntuaddicted: ok
[07:13:57] ubuntuaddicted: i don't even see where you enter the mysql server IP

[07:15:34] ubuntuaddicted: ok, mythweb still isnt' working. hmm?>
[07:15:34] sphery: I couldn't remember if mythtv-setup allowed you to specify that or if it's only the first-time configuration prompt that does

[07:18:02] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, where would i check to see why mythweb isn't working?

[07:28:50] sphery: yay

[07:29:05] ubuntuaddicted: thanks so much.

[17:18:04] Seeker`: The first button press is fine. if you press a button 5 times, it may respond once, or 20 times
[17:20:01] Seeker`: mine is a harmony one

[17:42:24] Timrit: i was wondering if someone could tell me how to configure a Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 usb tuner. I used to be able to get it working but am not having any luck getting it to tune channels. I know the device is working as have tv by using mplayer /dev/video and can change channels with ivtv-tune -c <channel number>
[17:43:01] wagnerrp: what country?
[17:43:04] Timrit: us
[17:43:15] wagnerrp: you've pulled a channel lineup from your SD account?
[17:43:33] Timrit: i believe so
[17:44:10] wagnerrp: mapped the video source you pulled the channels for to the tuner input on your PVR-USB2?
[17:46:54] Timrit: it wont even find channels
[17:47:19] wagnerrp: you shouldn't try to find channels, you should download the lineup
[17:47:46] Seeker`: Timrit: there is a menu in mythtv-setup where you assign the card to a video source (/dev/video -> SD)
[17:47:56] Seeker`: at least, I think thats what wagnerrp is getting at
[17:48:28] wagnerrp: in the Video Source setup, there is an option to give your SD account and password
[17:48:42] wagnerrp: give it them, select your lineup, and tell it to download the lineup from the listings provider
[17:48:57] Timrit: i have that linked
[17:49:12] wagnerrp: and so your video source is populated?
[17:49:22] wagnerrp: if so, then there is no reason to attempt to scan for channels
[17:49:42] Timrit: hmmmm. ok. let me try

Device is working in Win7 w/o problem. MythTV has both working front/back end servers. How can I make handshake?
[18:41:07] wagnerrp: the only reason autodetection should fail is because you are on the wrong subnet

[18:55:47] tgm4883: is that even going to be fast enough?
[18:55:48] mythos-2013: HDHR is via Ethernet cable
[18:56:10] tgm4883: mythos-2013, ah, so you've got the HDHR on a crossover cable to the computer?
[18:56:57] mythos-2013: eth cable is working in Win7 with MythTV. In Ubuntu Precise Pangolin ver. 12.04 there is no ehternet commection
[18:57:08] jarle: If I have active EIT turned on for all my cards, will mythtv use all cards at once if they are not recording?
[18:57:26] wagnerrp: mythos-2013: is your HDHR physically connected straight into your network card?
[18:58:09] mythos-2013: "Network card", ethernet cable goes from HDHR into computer's jack for ethernet

[18:58:34] wagnerrp: yes, the ethernet jack is your "network card", and the type of cable needed to make that work is a "crossover cable"
[18:58:47] wagnerrp: typically, ethernet requires you to have a hub or switch in between
[18:58:51] wagnerrp: a crossover cable bypasses

[18:59:22] mythos-2013: Can I look at both ends of cable and see if wires colors are reversed?
[18:59:33] wagnerrp: your HDHR requires a DHCP server to give it an address, which means you must run a DHCP server on your computer to give it one
[18:59:45] wagnerrp: and you must statically define an address for your wired ethernet card to use
[18:59:58] mythos-2013: Pls. give me a URL to a how to on setup DHCP on Ubuntu
[18:59:58] wagnerrp: network configuration is a distro-specific thing
[19:00:06] wagnerrp: so you would need to ask ubuntu people how to accomplish that
[19:00:30] mythos-2013: OK, thank you for your advice.
[19:00:39] mythos-2013: Bye bye
[19:01:12] tgm4883: wagnerrp, I didn't think it needed that
[19:01:29] tgm4883: wagnerrp, I thought the HDHR could operate in that scenario

[19:03:47] tgm4883: wagnerrp, hmm
[19:03:51] tgm4883: let me check nm
[19:03:56] mythos-2013: pls. give me a moment to read these pages
[19:04:09] mythos-2013: I mean I'm not leaving IRC, but am reading
[19:04:20] tgm4883: wagnerrp, I don't think so
[19:04:44] tgm4883: I mean, you could do it via network manager, but I don't think nm is going to let you connect to both LL and wifi at the same time
[19:04:49] tgm4883: although maybe it does
[19:05:27] wagnerrp: mythos-2013: is this going to be a permanent server?
[19:05:36] mythos-2013: yes
[19:05:45] tgm4883: permanent server over wifi?
[19:06:16] mythos-2013: pls. explain LL
[19:06:22] tgm4883: link local
[19:06:24] wagnerrp: link-local, the 169.xxx stuff
[19:06:38] wagnerrp: presumably this is a single combo frontend/backend, no remote frontends
[19:07:02] mythos-2013: yes, if by remote you do not mean TV remote control
[19:07:24] tgm4883: yea that should work then
[19:07:28] wagnerrp: no, i mean mythtv can allow multiple linked frontends and backends in a "cluster"
[19:07:44] wagnerrp: where you can have multiple frontends over the network pulling tv from one or more backends
[19:07:56] wagnerrp: you don't want to attempt that with wireless networking
[19:08:53] wagnerrp: wireless on a standalone machine is perfectly fine, since the only thing you're going to need to pull is guide data
[19:09:08] mythos-2013: This MythTV setup is one dual tuner with OTA antenna, and drives TV picture into computer monitor

[19:11:52] tgm4883: mythos-2013, are you familiar with network manager?
[19:12:40] mythos-2013: Only to look at – I have only done pings when wifi was a problem years ago
[19:13:11] tgm4883: mythos-2013, if you click on the network manager icon at the top right of the screen, you should be able to "edit connections"
[19:13:26] mythos-2013: I have setup wired connection with IP as 168.254.1.10 and subnet as 255.255.0.0
[19:13:50] tgm4883: that.... did you set that up manually?

[19:16:52] tgm4883: mythos-2013, so.... since you are attempting to do this on your own, you should know that needs to be a 169 address
[19:16:55] tgm4883: not 168

[20:19:23] wagnerrp: he wants to connect his HDHR directly with a crossover cable
[20:19:46] rhpot1991: you can do that, but I believe it doesn't require a crossover cable
[20:20:01] rhpot1991: hdhr 2 was smart about it and would automagically detect if you were doing that
[20:20:26] wagnerrp: crossover or not, he needs to know how to set up his computer's ethernet card to use the link-local subnet
[20:21:06] rhpot1991: looking for directions now, been a while since I did that
[20:22:13] mythos-2013: I have DHCP setup
[20:22:24] mythos-2013: but not configged
[20:22:54] rhpot1991: http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4088
[20:23:08] rhpot1991: Network configuration: Configure the PC to use a static IP address in the 169.254.x.y range, e.g. 169.254.5.12, with a network mask of 255.255.0.0. No gateway address or DNS servers are needed.
[20:24:22] rhpot1991: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHome . . . k_Connection
[20:24:33] rhpot1991: that 169.254 address is important
[20:26:21] mythos-2013: Please note this is Linux Ubuntu Precise Pangolin ver. 12.04 and not Windows per the link to post about IP addresses. Just FYI in case of errors
[20:27:50] rhpot1991: mythos-2013: ya see the 2nd link that one will be more pertinent, same addresses though
[20:34:01] mythos-2013: Can you help me know firmware release? Per link at wiki you gave: "The HDHomeRun normally expects to obtain a DHCP lease. However, with the latest firmware" – How to know "latest" firmware?
[20:35:17] wagnerrp: the hdhomerun_config utility will tell you what firmware you have loaded... if you can get communication working
[20:35:50] wagnerrp: but if you can get it working, there's little reason to care
[20:37:07] mythos-2013: utility says firmware version: Unknown
[20:37:16] wagnerrp: because it cannot connect to find out
[20:41:21] mythos-2013: Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I'm too confused and have taken more of your time than I should.
[20:45:29] wagnerrp: if you _can_ run hardlines for everything and stick your HDHR on your home network
[20:45:36] wagnerrp: everything will simply work much easier
[20:46:45] wagnerrp: but you don't want to attempt to use an HDHR over wireless
[20:46:54] wagnerrp: too high of loss, too low of throughput
[20:49:33] mythos-2013: I'm NOT using wireless
[20:49:37] mythos-2013: I have no network
[20:49:52] wagnerrp: sure you do, you have a wireless one
[20:49:58] wagnerrp: you're connected to your router wirelessly
[20:50:08] mythos-2013: OK, sure
[20:50:32] mythos-2013: I'm not understanding this, hdhr uses cable and OTA antenna
[20:50:46] wagnerrp: correct
[20:50:47] mythos-2013: computer can only use 1 connection at a time?
[20:50:59] wagnerrp: i'm not sure what you mean
[20:51:29] mythos-2013: If "home network" is internet connection, then what is hdhr ethernet connection?
[20:51:50] wagnerrp: your "home network" is all the devices connected to your network in your home
[20:51:59] wagnerrp: right now, everything you have is wireless
[20:52:09] mythos-2013: yes
[20:52:14] wagnerrp: i'm guessing your router has a multi-port switch built in
[20:52:34] wagnerrp: i'm saying if you connected your PC to the switch, and the HDHR to the switch, and ran both off the router's DHCP server
[20:52:38] wagnerrp: it would all "just work"
[20:53:10] mythos-2013: yes, it has 4 ports but it's in a neighbors apartment and I cannot run an ethernet cable there. Moreover, I'm not trying (wanting) to connect hdhr wirelessly

[20:59:17] mythos-2013: So short of 2 cat5 cable runs to dsl-wifi-router mythtv/hdhr won't work?
[20:59:27] wagnerrp: it _should_ work
[20:59:43] wagnerrp: all you should need to do is give eth0 some address in 169.254/16
[20:59:57] wagnerrp: or turn on autoconf so it does so itself automatically
[21:00:07] wagnerrp: how exactly to go about doing that on ubuntu? i dont know
[21:00:25] mythos-2013: IPv4 Address is: 192.254.5.12 Netmask is 255.255.0.0
[21:00:38] wagnerrp: no, 169.254

[21:08:24] mythos-2013: is autoconfig same as Auto Ethernet
[21:08:37] wagnerrp: could be

[21:12:40] wagnerrp: no, that's something different
[21:13:00] wagnerrp: avahi is some network device autodetection mechanism, similar to UPNP

[22:00:56] wagnerrp: there is a flag available for that

[22:01:56] Bray90820: well it's from schedules direct so i would assume it would
[22:02:10] wagnerrp: it almost always does
[22:03:31] Bray90820: i know on my tivo i can set it up to where if there is a new episode on at like 7:00 or something and it cant record it it will record the repete at 12:00
[22:04:08] wagnerrp: mythtv will automatically attempt to resolve conflicts if you are trying to record two things at once on a single tuner

[22:06:33] Bray90820: sorry if that's confusing
[22:07:28] wagnerrp: it will try to find some time within your available guide data (the next two weeks) that it can record both shows
[22:07:46] Bray90820: is there a way to stop that
[22:07:57] wagnerrp: why would you want to prevent automatic conflict resolution?
[22:08:26] Bray90820: so i dont fill up my Hard Drive
[22:08:27] wagnerrp: i mean you can go into the scheduler, and create an override to force one show to record now instead of something else
[22:08:46] wagnerrp: but you want both episodes to be recorded, correct?
[22:08:53] wagnerrp: otherwise, you would have never created the rules to record them
[22:10:13] Bray90820: lets say i have 1 tuner and i am recording the today show but there is a special of meet the press on that is set to record at the same time i would want to set a priority to record the today show and never record that met the press special
[22:10:19] Bray90820: even if it is on at a later time
[22:10:45] wagnerrp: then go into the scheduler, and make an override to prevent that episode from being recorded

[22:11:58] wagnerrp: you can create a custom power rule that explicitly ignores those specials
[22:13:21] Bray90820: well what i was really wondering is if there is just a way to not record repets of first run even if has never recorded it
[22:13:42] wagnerrp: by default, mythtv will not record repeats
[22:14:06] wagnerrp: it keeps track of ever single episode you have ever recorded, and will not record that episode again unless you explicitly tell it to
[22:14:30] Bray90820: i think you misunderstood me when i said repets

[22:15:03] Bray90820: i ment a new episode that is repeated later that day
[22:15:12] wagnerrp: as mentioned, there is an optional filter to have the scheduler ignore anything that is not a "new episode"
[22:15:28] wagnerrp: however new episode is defined as anything that first aired in the past week, or few days, don't know the specific
[22:15:49] wagnerrp: it will try to pick up a second showing later in the day or later in the week
[22:15:59] wagnerrp: but it will not try to pick up one several weeks later
[22:16:00] Bray90820: yes
[22:16:09] Bray90820: but is there a way to have that not happen
[22:16:16] Bray90820: on my tivo there is
[22:16:19] wagnerrp: you _can_ tell it to record a show only during a specific time frame
[22:16:37] wagnerrp: but it's pretty strict about that
[22:16:55] wagnerrp: and if the time varies by a few minutes, it will ignore the show
[22:17:11] Bray90820: well im asking if there is a way to have it record only first run of new episodes
[22:17:20] Bray90820: automaticly
[22:17:31] Bray90820: based on show name or something
[22:17:33] wagnerrp: you could with a power rule
[22:17:51] wagnerrp: however i'm uncertain why you're trying to be so strict about what you record
[22:18:16] wagnerrp: i mean you're only talking about ~6GB/hr
[22:18:42] wagnerrp: and if you're intending to always watch these in the short term, you can put a cap on the total number of episodes allowed to stay on disk at any given time
[22:18:58] Bray90820: well i dont really watch EVERYTHING i record and this is a way to clean things up
[22:19:27] wagnerrp: so let mythtv expire stuff as it sees fit, clearing out room for new content
[22:20:03] Bray90820: but that really eats up hard drive space
[22:20:15] wagnerrp: so? disks are cheap
[22:20:27] Bray90820: yea i guess
[22:20:31] wagnerrp: the average MythTV cluster has several TB of storage space

[22:21:21] Bray90820: i am aware of that
[22:21:25] wagnerrp: and when you fill that, you can set up a second backend, with more hard drives, and more tuners, linked to the first
[22:21:29] Bray90820: right now i have about 2 TB free
[22:22:03] Bray90820: i would buy more sata ports before i setup another backend
[22:22:10] wagnerrp: there is no theoretical limit on the size of a mythtv cluster, merely a practical one based off certain things being run through the master backend

[22:51:36] drussell_: So use the 'record anytime on this channel' or 'record anytime on any channel' and pick 'new episodes only' from the filters should do what you want
[22:54:42] drussell_: Also take note of the 'Identifiable Episodes'... You may or may not want it to record ones it doesn't have an ID for... Usually you won't want them but depends on the accuracy of your scheduler data, etc...

[22:58:08] drussell_: If you go into Schedule Options -> Schedule Filters and have New Episode checked, it will only record new, yes...
[22:58:20] Bray90820: ok
[22:58:23] drussell_: WITHOUT that checkbox checked, it will record all episodes
[22:58:26] Bray90820: now i am going to try it out
[22:58:39] Bray90820: thank you for your help
[22:58:53] drussell_: Preview is your friend, too... Will (usually) show you what you're doing to your schedule...
[22:59:28] drussell_: And/or "upcoming recordings"... Take a look at what the rule does when you set it and see if the upcoming looks like what you want...

[23:07:39] jst_: Hey, all. I use Ethernet-over-Power adapters to connect a frontend to my backend. I can watch recorded programs with no stuttering, but if I watch live TV, the playback is choppy and skips every few seconds. Any idea why?
[23:07:50] jst_: (No, I cannot run CAT5 cabling).

[23:09:15] jst_: Let's say a program records from 6p-7p and I start watching from the beginning at 645p (45 mins behind)... it will still skip. If I start watching at 7p, no problems whatsoever. Does it stream it differently for some reason?

[23:10:23] tgm4883: Bray90820, one thing to keep note of, if you choose any time in this timeslot, if the show is off by 1 minute it won't record
[23:11:05] Bray90820: will it just clip it or compleatly not record it
[23:11:15] tgm4883: completely not record

[23:12:05] wayne__ (wayne__!~wayne@codeworks.gen.nz) has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
[23:12:16] Bray90820: because schedules direct would see it as on time right
[23:12:22] tgm4883: Bray90820, mythtv knows "record this show from <this exact time> to <this exact time> on <this channel>"
[23:12:30] drussell_: The 'this timeslot' rule is VERY specific... If it doesn't match 100% it doesn't record
[23:12:53] tgm4883: Bray90820, if Scheduled Direct shows the show as starting at 7:59PM one day, instead of the usual 8:00PM, it won't record
[23:12:58] tgm4883: because it doesn't match the rule
[23:13:15] Bray90820: is there a way to make it just clip the show?
[23:13:23] drussell_: Best to allow the scheduler in MythTV to figure those things out for you by setting up a proper rule an letting IT figure out when to record instead of trying to specify an exact time or something... That's the whole point of a "smart" scheduler...
[23:13:37] tgm4883: Bray90820, use a proper rule such as "any time any channel"?
[23:13:52] Bray90820: ok
[23:14:03] Bray90820: then it will or won't clip it?
[23:14:16] drussell_: The timeslot type rules are really meant only for very specific situations, not "normal" scheduling
[23:14:16] tgm4883: Then it will record the show any time it finds it on any channel
[23:14:28] Bray90820: alright
[23:14:30] Bray90820: thank you
[23:14:45] tgm4883: eg. if it's scheduled from 7:39–8:11, it will record it
[23:15:05] Bray90820: that's a good think to know
[23:15:11] tgm4883: I only use 2 types of recording rules myself
[23:15:15] Bray90820: because one channel i record is off the clock
[23:15:15] tgm4883: any time any channel
[23:15:32] tgm4883: and power rules
[23:15:57] Bray90820: power rules?
[23:16:28] tgm4883: Bray90820, basically, they are rules that you put in a format similar to SQL
[23:16:56] Bray90820: but why would someone want to use that
[23:16:59] drussell_: For when the (already extensive) options given in MythTV aren't enough, you can make your own...
[23:17:29] drussell_: I have one to record all "Nascar: Sprint Cup" but not practice or qualifying... etc. etc..
[23:17:33] Bray90820: that's interesting
[23:17:46] Bray90820: is mytvtv open source by any chance
[23:18:02] drussell_: Most definitely...
[23:18:03] tgm4883: I use it when I want to record a series that has been on for awhile, but I caught up with it on netflix, so it's basically a "record this show any time, any channel, if original airdate is greater than <DATE"
[23:18:21] tgm4883: I also use it for sports

[23:24:20] jst_: program.title = 'NASCAR Racing' AND ((program.subtitle LIKE '%Sprint Cup%Qualifying') OR !(program.subtitle REGEXP '(2011|Practice|Qualifying|K&N|Modified)')) AND program.previouslyshown = 0 :)

[23:30:12] drussell_: my only HD input is OTA ATSC

[23:39:19] drussell_: Everything else is OTA or FTA sat
[23:39:55] drussell_: Not much useful on the FTA box these days other than RT/AlJazeera and the other odd thing once in a while

[23:44:18] Bray90820: my cable company removes channels
[23:44:39] drussell_: It's not available anymore in Canada via edict from the CRTC (canadian version of the FCC)... Not enough Canadian content...
[23:44:55] Bray90820: Atleast you have CTV
[23:45:52] drussell_: Although it theoretically could be carried right now because Hatfield is up on the ISS right now... Easier to just watch online, though... Nasa has decent feeds on the internet
[23:46:19] drussell_: If I had more money right now I
[23:46:40] drussell_: 'd get a Dish US subscription or something but I don't need more TV... LOL
[23:47:24] Bray90820: lol
[23:48:21] drussell_: My personal Myth box has almost 9k recordings on it right now and lots of it I've never seen if I had time to waste actually watching TV....
[23:49:15] Bray90820: lol
[23:49:23] Bray90820: you di watch WAY to much tv
[23:49:28] Bray90820: do
[23:49:58] Shadow__1: afaik you are able to record or atleast watch iptv within mythtv there is a file that includes nasatv on there
[23:50:02] Bray90820: i have about 12 recordings on mine
[23:50:06] drussell_: No, most of it's not for me... I don't watch much TV....
[23:50:28] Bray90820: then who is it for
[23:51:18] drussell_: Shadow__1 I hadn't even thought of looking at that! Thank you for the idea! Just upgrading my personal system from 0.23 to 0.26 so now should be able to just add the internet channel! SWEET
