[00:20:51] Smegzor: I have managed to get a fresh install of a newer myth backend set up. Now I'm trying to fill it with listing data from a downloaded file. This line isn't working in the new version but does in the old.. mythfilldatabase --file 1 tvguide --update
[00:20:59] Smegzor: What do I need to change?
[00:22:52] Smegzor: I get this error Received '1' but unassociated arguments have not been enabled
[00:25:03] Smegzor: Which bit in mythtv-setup is source id?
[00:28:38] Smegzor: found source id and its valid

[00:29:53] k-man (k-man!~jason@unaffiliated/k-man) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:32:39] Smegzor: I've re-arranged the command. Hasn't helped yet. mythfilldatabase --file tvguide --sourceid 1 --only-update-guide
[00:37:15] Warped (Warped!~Warped@108.85.160.119) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:40:51] Smegzor: I ran mythfilldatabase — manual and its trying to connect to mysql on an IP that doesn't have a database server. its supposed to be looking at 127.0.0.1
[00:41:43] clever: the database server is set in mythtv.xml i believe, and there may be duplicates pointing to other servers
[00:43:16] Smegzor: Where do I find that?
[00:44:13] Smegzor: found it
[00:47:23] Smegzor: hmm.. can't login to database but all the db stuff is correct
[00:47:36] Smegzor: and mythtv-backend can log in
[00:49:56] Smegzor: hmm.. that xml is in a folder in my home, not in the mythtv user's home.
[00:50:51] Kwisher: Smegzor: iirc, there are 3 copies of that file
[00:51:48] Kwisher: there is no /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml ?
[00:54:36] Smegzor: yes. I'm getting closer. Now it is saying Boolean type options do not accept values and complaining about --file. The command is mythfilldatabase --file tvguide --sourceid 1 --only-update-guide
[00:55:05] Smegzor: the tvguide file is in the current folder in my terminal session
[00:59:43] Smegzor: This is very frustrating. I'm getting nowhere but nothing is wrong with anything except the mythfill command as far as I can tell.

[01:20:20] Smegzor: hmm.. Mythtv thinks I have a MySQL database in my Brother printer and I can't convince it otherwise.
[01:20:42] clever: check EVERY config.xml on the system
[01:20:48] clever: find them with 'locate config.xml'

[01:28:05] Smegzor: updated 3 more of them. no change
[01:28:23] clever: can you pastebin the full output of mythfilldatabase?
[01:28:36] Smegzor: sure..
[01:29:20] Smegzor: all you will see are command line options. the only error is the first line
[01:29:43] clever: does it output anything not an error?
[01:30:11] Smegzor: don't know. also you may want this info.. mythfilldatabase version: fixes/0.27 [v0.27-193-g8ee257c] www.mythtv.org
[01:30:23] clever: i need to see the entire output
[01:30:30] clever: not just the line you think is an error
[01:31:55] Smegzor: the backend log is saying it can't connect to mysql
[01:32:11] clever: can you paste the entire backend log?
[01:32:19] Smegzor: which is odd because if I run mythtv-setup it can
[01:33:24] Smegzor: sure as soon as I can access it for copy paste
[01:37:54] Smegzor: clever: http://pastebin.com/1MKKdvC7
[01:39:10] clever: Smegzor: do you have a mysql.txt in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/ ?
[01:41:02] Smegzor: No
[01:42:41] clever: Smegzor: what is the content of config.xml in that dir?
[01:43:15] Smegzor: clever: http://pastebin.com/ZkkFDk08
[01:43:25] Smegzor: that's not what you just asked for though..
[01:43:54] ShapeShifter499 (ShapeShifter499!~Raansu@unaffiliated/shapeshifter499) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:44:08] clever: looks like your using --file the wrong way
[01:45:21] Smegzor: weird. I can't see any files in /home/mythtv even browsing as a sudo
[01:45:43] clever: use ls -a
[01:45:53] Smegzor: checking for hidden files
[01:47:05] Smegzor: the config in there redirects to the config in /etc/mythtv
[01:47:35] Smegzor: clever: http://pastebin.com/sY2jBXNs
[01:47:48] clever: and what about the config in /home/matthew/.mythtv/ ?
[01:47:58] SmallwoodDR82 (SmallwoodDR82!~Smallwood@unaffiliated/smallwooddr82) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:47:58] Smegzor: What is the right way?
[01:48:12] clever: Smegzor: aha, the config you just pasted has the ip of your printer in it
[01:48:17] clever: fix that file first
[01:48:19] guest56789 (guest56789!~Angel@2606:a000:9a85:2800:4639:c4ff:fe5b:78e0) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:48:25] Smegzor: odd. I did that already
[01:48:33] Kwisher (Kwisher!~Kevin@c-98-212-119-100.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:48:58] Smegzor: that ip 192.168.2.23 is the IP of the backend. The printer is 192.168.2.11
[01:49:13] clever: ah, so it should be working
[01:49:19] clever: double check /home/matthew/.mythtv/ next
[01:49:47] clever: the error also says that it couldnt connect to the mysql server on .2.23, is it running?
[01:50:11] guest56789: odd is right Smegzor I've followed the guides to setup mythtv and its still saying the directory is not writable (its 775 permissions in the / as a last ditch attempt) I think its because its doing /mythtv//.test and extra "/" might be causing the issue but even if I remove it in settings it just adds it back in
[01:50:14] Smegzor: the ip's match but there is a difference.
[01:50:57] clever: guest56789: extra / wont do anything, are you sure your running it as the right user?
[01:51:34] Smegzor: clever: http://pastebin.com/hGC7uwSg
[01:52:03] guest56789: clever, what do you mean right user? I'm just doing mythtv-setup, do I need to login as the mythtv user to do that?
[01:52:06] Smegzor: What is the right user? I've always been able to remote to the old box and run my script.
[01:52:46] guest56789: I'm not trying to set it up as root, because well I don't think you should use root unless you need to
[01:54:16] Smegzor: clever: yes mysql is running on 2.23 I am connected via phpMyAdmin
[01:54:38] clever: guest56789: yes
[01:54:38] clever: Smegzor: all of the mythtv programs must be ran as the user that owns the recordings and has the config file
[01:54:58] clever: Smegzor: run 'netstat -anp|grep 3306' and pastebin the result
[01:55:14] clever: guest56789: if mythtv owns /mythtv, then you should run everything as mythtv
[01:55:57] Smegzor: clever: http://pastebin.com/zF5TSnJ5
[01:56:24] clever: Smegzor: mythtv is configured to only listen on 127.0.0.1, you cant connect using the local ip

[01:56:43] clever: Smegzor: you must either fix the mysql config, or set config.xml to 127.0.0.1
[01:57:13] Smegzor: So I want to change it from that to 192.168.2.23 ?
[01:57:33] clever: you want to change config.xml to 127.0.0.1
[01:58:14] guest56789: ahhh so it uses the permissions of the user that invokes it, thank you clever
[01:58:46] clever: guest56789: yes, thats how every app on linux works

[02:03:00] hachi_ (hachi_!~hachi@tsillah.kuiki.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:03:12] Smegzor: it was already set to 127.0.0.1
[02:03:28] clever: Smegzor: 0.0.0.0 would work as well
[02:03:29] guest56789: the guides all said to chown to mythtv so the guides were poorly written... like I'm one to talk
[02:03:53] Smegzor: I tried that and after restarting myself, the mythfill script is unchanged
[02:04:10] clever: Smegzor: has the output of 'netstat -anp|grep 3306' changed?

[02:06:42] clever: Smegzor: i didnt see any mysql errors from mythfilldatabase, only mythbackend
[02:08:20] Smegzor: oh. um. I ran htop and pressed u. There is my mythtv user listed?
[02:08:38] Smegzor: But I have a mythtv home folder which installing the backend put there
[02:09:29] clever: yep, you must login as mythtv when running anything myth related
[02:10:24] guest56789: mythtv is saying that it can't connect to the master backend which is the same machine and its running
[02:10:46] clever: guest56789: is the backend running?
[02:11:36] Smegzor: I think I solved it. I was running gksu mythtv-setup. I re-ran it without sudo and it seemed to exit correctly this time.
[02:11:53] clever: that runs it as root, not as mythtv
[02:12:09] Smegzor: Now I have a mythtv user running mythbackend showing in htop
[02:13:19] guest56789: clever, yes it is, I get a warning that its already started when I try to start it

[02:17:36] guest56789: Smegzor, I had that issue until I fixed the mysql issue
[02:19:11] Smegzor: which fix was that?
[02:19:44] Smegzor: I already have mysql listening to everyone
[02:20:43] clever: you also have to tell mysql to allow access from certain IP's
[02:20:53] clever: it should be in the docs
[02:21:47] guest56789: turning on and setting it up =P

[22:31:58] jab416171: mengoshmink, yeah, they were so slow on the NAS

[22:34:28] jab416171: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jab416171/ . . . istfile1.txt
[22:43:50] mengoshmink: hmm thats a bit worrying

[22:56:58] stuartm: depends how the disks are setup, consumer grade disks can max out well below 100MB/s
[22:57:27] stuartm: the worst at less than half that
[22:57:59] Kwisher (Kwisher!~kwisher@c-98-212-119-100.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[22:59:00] buu: Sure, but they should be striped in a nas
[22:59:04] buu: Thus increasing it
[22:59:58] buu: What rate does mythtv typically write at anyways?
[23:00:40] stuartm: true, but for MythTV most people's priority is space not speed, I imagine very few are using striping
[23:01:53] stuartm: buu: well the same rate as broadcast tv, so a max of around 21Mbps – or less than 2.7MB/s
[23:02:09] buu: wow
[23:02:34] buu: Well I mean, any collection of disks in an array should involve some striping
[23:02:43] buu: I'm not sure how you'd put a bunch of disks together and not increase speed
[23:02:57] buu: Unless its insane freenas stuff =/
[23:07:40] stuartm: jab416171: were you using NFS or Samba? Hint: The latter is utter crap
[23:08:22] mengoshmink: I only use mirroring on my storage raid arrays
[23:08:28] stuartm: seriously, anyone using Samba for *nix to *nix, or NAS to *nix – STOP
[23:08:32] jab416171: stuartm, nfs
[23:08:51] mengoshmink: haha, I use NFS even though I still haven't got my perfect setup with it, yet
[23:08:54] jab416171: mengoshmink, my hypervisor was the nas, and mythtv is a VM on that hypervisor
[23:09:00] jab416171: can't really get any more direct than that
[23:09:19] mengoshmink: hmm, interesting ....
[23:10:07] stuartm: nfs performance should be almost as good as direct access, but that assumes perfect network conditions – low traffic, proper switches, wired not wifi and good network cards
[23:10:49] stuartm: a surprising number of network performance issues are ultimately traced back to a crappy network card
[23:11:19] disputin2 (disputin2!~sean@65.102.58.17) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[23:11:31] mengoshmink: I don't know about having the perfect setup but the benifits of NFS far out weigh the problems I have – which are from my own doing not NFS
[23:12:50] stuartm: the one thing VMs tend to screw up more than anything is network performance – it's not a hard rule, but a reguarly observed pattern fwiw
[23:13:33] jab416171: stuartm, when it's the same hardware, none of that matters because it never leaves the box :P
[23:13:51] stuartm: you'd think not, but ...
[23:14:08] jab416171: the network stack is all that matters
[23:14:39] mengoshmink: I have to admit jab416171 but stuartm is right, I have had experiences similar to that he is explaining plus our IT guy at work was also talking to me about it the other day
[23:15:18] mengoshmink: laters dudes
[23:15:41] jab416171: it wasn't nearly as fast as direct access to the block device, but it's going to be way faster than NAS over the actual network
[23:16:18] jab416171: I wasn't trying to say that NAS is as fast as direct access, I was saying that the way I had NAS set up, there's very few external variables that could affect the performance, and thus very few things I could have tuned to improve it.
