[04:27:30] Twiggy2cents: wagnerrp, so if you remove the sg and re add it does it remove myth's index?

[04:32:09] Twiggy2cents: I assume you meant me. I recently lost the hdd that had all my metadata stored on it. Upon refreshing the metadata it returned them all in what i think is french
[04:32:35] Twiggy2cents: oops nevermind, saw his post in the scroll back
[04:32:56] wagnerrp: then you told mythtv you want it to operate in french
[04:33:06] wagnerrp: so it dutifully downloaded data in french
[04:33:19] Twiggy2cents: Well I didnt think I told it anything. Where would that setting be?:
[04:33:40] wagnerrp: when you first configured your frontend what language to use
[04:34:02] Twiggy2cents: hmmm my whole frontend is in english
[04:34:47] wagnerrp: run the frontend, open the video library, pull metadata for something, and check your logs to see what command line was used to query it
[04:35:23] Twiggy2cents: Okay, I have to run to the other computer so give me a moment
[04:35:50] wagnerrp: there should be an '-a' parameter for country, and '-l' parameter for language
[04:36:07] twiggy2pence: Running Grabber: /usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py -l en -a US -D 97
[04:37:10] twiggy2pence: If it has multiple choices, the choices show up in english.

[04:40:49] wagnerrp: but stuartm recently ran into some version of the issue

[05:03:41] skd5aner: stuartm fixed the reverse issue like 5 days ago, so if you haven't pulled fixes from then and re-scaned, you might see the same issue
[05:04:11] wagnerrp: skd5aner: right, but i remember fixing that issue a couple years ago
[05:04:35] Twiggy2cents: Thanks, do you know if I will have to clear the video library and scan for changes to refresh it all?
[05:04:42] wagnerrp: i need to take a closer look at what was changed
[05:04:46] wagnerrp: that's going to bug me
[05:04:47] skd5aner: yea... I'm just saying that if Twiggy2cents thought it was fixed fixed a few weeks ago, it was more recent than that
[05:05:50] skd5aner: I spent 4 hours today under the assumption that my father was convienced that he changed the battery in a car I was keeping at his place for the last few years earlier this summer, but in fact... didn't
[05:08:27] wagnerrp: #11678
[05:08:27] ** MythLogBot http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11678 **
[05:08:36] wagnerrp: so... maybe not years ago
[05:10:43] z0pluto: Is anyone using an rng-110 to record over firewire?
[05:11:13] wagnerrp: better to get a cablecard tuner
[05:11:23] wagnerrp: more reliable, and cheaper in the long run
[05:12:05] Twiggy2cents: Well, I will recompile and see
[05:12:41] wagnerrp: my fix should have applied to the automatic selection of artwork
[05:12:57] wagnerrp: stuartm's fix was to the other half, the manual selection dialog
[05:13:29] wagnerrp: you should already have the fix for that issue
[05:14:08] wagnerrp: i really need to get a test system set up on my laptop
[05:14:24] Twiggy2cents: ohh well that sucks
[05:15:22] Twiggy2cents: Should I make a formal bug report or is this enough?
[05:15:30] Twiggy2cents: Or is there anything else I can do
[05:16:10] wagnerrp: ill re-open the existing ticket
[05:17:04] Twiggy2cents: Okay, I am getting off here. Thanks for the help!
[05:18:46] skd5aner: wagnerrp: so, what changed between 11678 and what stuartm fixed?
[05:19:00] wagnerrp: nothing
[05:19:11] wagnerrp: same problem, but in two different places

[05:28:11] wagnerrp: z0pluto: cablecard tuners and firewire capture off a cable box give you access to the same content, that marked "copy freely"
[05:28:56] wagnerrp: but a cablecard rental is typically cheaper than a cable box rental, and the tuner will be able to record 2–6 channels at a time. cable boxes can only capture one channel at a time
[05:29:12] wagnerrp: so... higher up front cost, lower recurring cost
[05:29:22] z0pluto: wagnerrp: I know the cablebox already works, I tried it with test-mpeg. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FireWire#How_to_get_test-mpeg2
[05:29:41] z0pluto: wagnerrp: It doesn't work with mythtv because: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7205
[05:29:46] wagnerrp: typically, firewire is only used these days as an alternative to IR blasting if using analog capture
[05:30:37] wagnerrp: hence its lack of interest in recent years
[05:31:35] z0pluto: Yeah, it seems highly temperamental
[05:32:15] z0pluto: It would still be nice to get it to work because comcast gives these boxes out standard.

[05:35:40] wagnerrp: yes. it used to get used until cablecard tuners became an option
[05:35:58] z0pluto: yes
[05:35:58] wagnerrp: now, it's only used in canada, where cable companies are not required to support cablecard tuners

[17:25:19] sphery: dashs: autoexpiration happens on a per-file-system basis, and only on file systems to which new recordings are currently being written
[17:26:25] sphery: --printexpire shows the expiration priority, but does not take into account either a) scheduling (what will record next, and to where it will record) or b) storage groups/directories/file system information
[17:26:51] sphery: note, also, that the Storage Group Disk Scheduler chooses the location to which new recordings are written, and it's independent of auto-expiration priority

[17:30:36] sphery: meaning --printexpire only lets you see the priority order using the simplistic auto-expire prioritization mechanism you've chosen, and is for use specifically to allow you to manually delete those shows you care least about (and, therefore, free up space on file systems so the Storage Group Disk Scheduler will choose to use the file systems with available space)
[17:30:41] dashs: I wasn't expecting anything that nuanced, but some reassurance that a show will wind up in its storagegroup.
[17:31:17] sphery: shows always will be written to directories in the Storage Group specified in the recording rule

[17:36:32] dashs: Some clarification for 'only on filesystems to which new recordings are currently being written".
[17:36:54] dashs: Those that are not full?
[17:37:06] dashs: Or just mounted.
[17:38:06] sphery: auto-expiration never occurs /unless/ a file system is full
[17:38:14] sphery: (and a recording is currently being written to that file system)
[17:38:27] sphery: and the file system to which a recording is written is chosen by the Storage Group Disk Scheduler
[17:38:36] sphery: which doesn't take into account auto-expiration priority
[17:39:22] dashs: Doesn't observe recpriority either?
[17:39:36] sphery: so MythTV will gladly choose to write to a full 500GB file system, even when you have an empty 3TB file system with a directory that's in the same Storage Group, if that's the way you've configured your Storage Group Disk Scheduler
[17:39:52] sphery: no, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Storage_Groups#Sto . . . sk_Scheduler
[17:40:00] dashs: Thanks
[17:40:21] sphery: you have (the broken-for-users-with-full-file-systems) Balanced Free Space and Balanced Percent Free Space schedulers
[17:40:41] sphery: and the 2 that I think are always useful: Balanced Disk I/O and Combination
[17:41:50] sphery: I use Combination, and I don't have full file systems, but even if I did, it wouldn't do bad things (like always record to the same file system, such that after a few weeks, it's recording a new show while deleting a 2-week old recording, even when I have much-higher-priority-for-auto-expiration recordings that may be 6 years old on another file system)
[17:42:18] sphery: note, though, that exact situation is likely to occur if you choose Balanced Free Space or Balanced Percent Free Space and all your file systems are full

[17:43:22] mycosys (mycosys!~mycosys@unaffiliated/mycosys) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:43:31] sphery: (while leaving lots of old content on all the other file systems)
[17:45:52] sphery: basically, with balanced free space or balanced percent free space, the scheduler looks at the file systems and one has the most free space, so it starts recording to that file system... as it's recording, shows are expired from that file system (which makes /more/ free space on that file system), so when it finishes recording, that file system is likely to have the most free space
[17:45:53] dashs: Clarification: local disk means ? on the bus, not nfs, not usb external?
[17:46:04] sphery: so when the next recording starts, it uses the same file system...
[17:46:08] sphery: not nfs
[17:46:15] sphery: (or cifs or ...)
[17:47:41] sphery: with balanced disk i/o or combination, it will spread new recordings across different file systems--so that when you have multiple concurrent recordings happening, you're definitely using different file systems, which means you're expiring old stuff from different file system, rather than all from one
[17:50:40] dashs: Agree about combination.
[17:53:06] dashs: Ideally, I'd like recording to go to bus-attached and migrate to external usb — just so much overhead, though.
[17:53:47] sphery: you can do that by creating an "Archive" Storage Group
[17:54:56] sphery: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/535888#535888 , specifically the answer to "what about a 'watch from but don't record to' storage group type"
[17:56:55] dashs: Will check that.
[17:59:25] sphery: as far as overhead, you can use something like rsync --bwlimit 2000 to "slowly" migrate recordings to an archive storage group

[20:58:44] sphery: i.e deleting short Live TV, etc.
[20:59:13] skd5aner: dashs, sphery: it's true for everything except live tv and deleted recordings. They will autoexpire within a configured amount of time regardless of free-space available. They will also autoexpire first should the disk fill up and need space
[20:59:15] sphery: or deleting stuff from the Deleted recording group because the setting says to keep it for x days
[20:59:41] sphery: what I'm saying is those aren't auto-expiration
[20:59:56] sphery: they're not expiring of wanted content
[21:00:19] sphery: regardless of the fact that the same code that handles auto-expiration of wanted content handles deletion of those (and, therefore, uses the word expire)
[21:00:27] sphery: but it definitely doesn't use "autoexpire"

[21:04:13] skd5aner: sphery: I was speaking from the techincal standpoint – it's technically using autoexpire, and that's important to understand from a "full disk" standpoint
[21:04:23] skd5aner: and what gets priority when it chooses what to autoexpire
[21:04:34] skd5aner: I typically have 10–100GB in my deleted recgroup...
[21:05:15] skd5aner: and, I think I have deleted recordings set to expire within 24 hours, and live tv to expire in 3 days
[21:05:19] sphery: well, I'll agree that autoexpire always starts with deleting Live TV (short or long) first, then Deleted recordings (second), then other recordings
[21:05:26] skd5aner: sometimes though, it won't make it that long :)
[21:05:30] Muzer (Muzer!~muzer@cpc4-sotn9-2-0-cust230.15-1.cable.virginm.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
[21:05:40] sphery: but it's not auto-expiration unless it's done "without user permission", IMHO
[21:06:12] skd5aner: same engine though, correct?
[21:06:39] sphery: i.e. automatically done by the system, versus "deleted from disk because the user explicitly deleted the recording to the Deleted recording group" or deletion of Live TV, which would have been deleted, anyway, within a day (unless the user changed the keep time to other than the default, up to 7days)
[21:07:18] skd5aner: I do find it a little odd, perhaps, that the priority would be live tv before deleted... at the end of the day either/or probably makes sense, but deleted to me seems like it should always go first
[21:07:21] sphery: but, yes, same code that handles auto-expire handles deletion of short live tv (always), Live TV (based on age), Deleted recordings (based on age)
[21:07:38] sphery: but there needs to be a distinction between "auto" and "because the user said"
[21:08:08] sphery: mainly live tv first because "if it was good enough to keep, the user would have pressed R"
[21:08:09] skd5aner: I can say, that while there sometimes is a debate about the value of leveraging the auto-expire capability for deleted and live tv, I really really really appreciate that it's there on the rare occasions I need it
[21:08:29] skd5aner: accidently deleted something, or decided the next day I wanted to show my wife something that was on Live TV yesterday, etc...
[21:08:44] sphery: yeah, Deleted recording group usage is a great thing
[21:08:57] sphery: and from a code standpoint makes things 10x simpler
[21:09:26] skd5aner: I set live tv to 3 days
[21:09:26] sphery: now it's a Delete queue (that will delete when the video isn't in use), and only one path for deletion--rather than 2 separate ones
[21:09:34] skd5aner: it's come in handy on some occasions
[21:09:53] skd5aner: and, if it needs to autoexpire live tv content sooner than that, then that's good too!
[21:10:00] skd5aner: of course, I have dedicated disks
[21:10:09] sphery: and, fwiw, until we changed everyone to using Deleted recording group, none of us figured out that the reason users couldn't delete non-existent recordings was because they enabled the Deleted recgroup, which didn't handle non-existent files properly
[21:10:12] skd5aner: ... for my recordings

[21:10:46] sphery: yeah, I'm starting to wonder if there's really any good reason to have Live TV expired more quickly than Deleted, though
[21:10:57] skd5aner: sphery: actually, I think I reported that bug
[21:11:15] sphery: after all, as you implied above, "if I've already deleted it, why wouldn't it go first, then the Live TV I may not have triaged, yet"
[21:11:15] skd5aner: because I was an early adopter of the feature

[21:11:43] sphery: so why not just let them set the one value to X days and then delete Live and Deleted recordings after that period
[21:11:54] skd5aner: actually, this is the bug I discovered – http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9360
[21:12:03] sphery: hehe, that may well be... I remember looking at it about 10x and could never reproduce it
[21:12:20] sphery: oh
[21:12:48] skd5aner: items in the deleted record group were throwing off the delete + re-record option
[21:13:02] sphery: yeah, similar idea
[21:13:27] sphery: the not-well-tested-by-devs code path that was only used if you changed default settings
[21:13:45] sphery: (though you and others who changed that setting were actually doing what we all should have)
[21:13:52] skd5aner: well...

[21:14:13] skd5aner: that's just the nature of the beast... devs don't have a testbed for all use cases
[21:14:29] sphery: I actually proposed removing the setting to use Deleted and always enabling it as a solution to the "can't delete in-use recordings" problem when I had never used Deleted recgroup myself
[21:14:51] skd5aner: some of this stuff only triggers in certain circumstances... full disks, after x days, if you want something to re-record within x days, etc...
[21:14:57] sphery: (and based on the number of devs who immediately said no to the proposal, I'm guessing few, if any, devs were using it)
[21:15:05] skd5aner: impossible to catch until you throw it out to the world
[21:15:12] Korny (Korny!~quassel@c-71-63-189-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:15:35] skd5aner: devs aren't using the deleted recgroup?
[21:15:37] sphery: but the funniest part is that I didn't even have to argue my reasoning and within 5mins those who said no convinced themselves--even to the point that stuartm made the change
[21:15:48] sphery: devs weren't--until we changed it so everyone is
[21:16:15] skd5aner: I sorta remember the conversation...
[21:16:28] sphery: one of the few times where it became pretty obvious pretty quickly that we were all using it wrong out of inertia and the other way was better
[21:16:30] skd5aner: I probably chimed in in support – I think it's a great feature with almost no down-sides
[21:16:37] sphery: yeah, agreed
[21:16:56] skd5aner: it's like a smarter version of the windows recycling bin even
