[00:18:14] austeregrim: What does it mean "tv settings configured" on the mythweb page? Where do I configure the TV settings in the backend?
[00:18:36] austeregrim: Do I control a stream to a tv with myth?
[00:18:42] austeregrim: I'm so confused! lol
[00:20:45] austeregrim: tgm4883, are you here? can you explain it to me like I'm a noob... well explain it like I'm 12.
[00:27:02] tgm4883: austeregrim: what are you talking about?
[00:28:02] austeregrim: the mythweb page is saying (since I've changed the video sources) that I need to configure the tv settings
[00:29:08] austeregrim: i don't know what tv settings it's asking for
[00:31:44] tgm4883: austeregrim: screenshot?
[00:32:10] austeregrim: It's gone now that I've configured the video source
[00:32:27] tgm4883: ok
[00:32:32] tgm4883: so then what is the question?
[00:33:26] austeregrim: what does it mean the TV settings?
[00:33:47] austeregrim: like I was wondering if I had to configure an output for each tv or something
[00:34:44] austeregrim: but I'm still trying to figure out the guide data thing... I have no channel info
[00:34:50] tgm4883: austeregrim: is anything currently not working?
[00:35:31] austeregrim: I don't know what you mean by "working"... I don't know if myth is going to do what I want
[00:36:08] austeregrim: but I have no guide data showing up
[00:36:14] austeregrim: so that's not working
[00:37:09] austeregrim: mythweb is showing an error Grabber is returning error 2
[00:40:24] tgm4883: austeregrim: where are you located?
[00:41:25] austeregrim: United States
[00:41:35] austeregrim: I've signed up for schedules direct
[00:42:20] austeregrim: oh... well I'm not bright... I chose the wrong source grabber
[00:42:22] austeregrim: fml
[00:43:47] austeregrim: I don't understand why I'm not grasping the concepts in mythtv
[00:45:29] austeregrim: I feel like I'm trying to make my way through a jungle with a cricket bat trying to set up myth

[01:12:39] hydroponx: austeregrim, there's definitely a learning curve
[01:15:55] austeregrim: clearly... it's mostly because doing the backend setup it says "video source"... well video source, that's my capture card isn't? ok, I'll assign a capture card to something... but no, myth tv thinks the video source is the guide data source..
[01:17:38] austeregrim: there's very little explenation available to give you an idea of the process to set it up.
[01:17:55] hydroponx: wiki.mythtv.org
[01:18:01] austeregrim: why am I scanning channels for the 8th time...
[01:18:17] austeregrim: because I changed a video source...
[01:18:24] hydroponx: you shouldn't need to scan channels
[01:18:46] austeregrim: oh the wiki is so convoluded. it doesn't explain anything unless you read it copmletely 3 times over
[01:19:10] austeregrim: shouldn't need to, but here i am
[01:19:26] hydroponx: to be fair...
[01:19:43] hydroponx: you are doing what the cable companies pay departments to do
[01:21:04] austeregrim: I was leary about setting up a myth tv box, because i have a few friends who've tried it and just gave up... it could be much better explained in the setup, and have a better back end interface.
[01:21:18] austeregrim: but I have one friend who's saying to just do it.
[01:21:27] austeregrim: so I'm giving it a try... I want it to work.
[01:22:09] austeregrim: but it's been 3 days working to get this server just getting it going, and I understand why they gave up
[01:24:02] tgm4883: austeregrim: did you read the guide?
[01:24:19] tgm4883: it was practically written for your exact setup
[01:26:12] austeregrim: yeah and that's when I came back because stuff wasn't working
[01:26:36] austeregrim: so now I've got a bad guide downloaded for my channels how do I clear the guide information?
[01:30:21] hydroponx: in the backend channel lineup
[01:30:59] austeregrim: where is the backend channel lineup?
[01:32:26] tgm4883: what do you mean "a bad guide"
[01:32:41] austeregrim: items are mismatched, and I have no data for 90% of my channels
[01:32:51] austeregrim: what info I do have is not whats there
[01:37:10] austeregrim: looks like most of my channels in the channel editor have the option "use on air guide" turned on... how do I turn them all to use the guide from the internet?
[01:37:19] austeregrim: or do I have to toggle it for each one?
[01:37:49] ** tgm4883 wonders how you even got into that situation **
[01:38:38] austeregrim: I probably channel scanned the first time expecting I was going to be able to use the on air guides
[01:38:42] austeregrim: that are non-existent
[01:41:10] tgm4883: austeregrim: probably the easiest way for you to fix the channels is via mythweb

[01:41:36] tgm4883: austeregrim: via "<backendIP>/mythweb/settings/tv/channels
[01:42:32] austeregrim: I see it, thanks
[01:42:57] austeregrim: That would be easier than hitting up arrows 5 times and back down to change each one.
[01:43:16] austeregrim: I'm sorry I'm being cranky about this.
[01:53:09] austeregrim: looks like they're missing their xmltvid how can I look at the xml channel list to get their ID from the source?
[01:55:17] austeregrim: yay, I can see it on schedules directs page.
[02:00:20] amessina (amessina!~amessina@unaffiliated/amessina) has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
[02:10:20] austeregrim: I hope adding all those channel ids will fix the guide
[02:21:55] austeregrim: so now I have what looks like everything set up... I can watch tv from a myth front end... now how do I watch tv from my tv?
[02:22:17] hydroponx: plug a myth (or kodi) frontend into the tv
[02:25:48] austeregrim: so I can only watch recorded stuff via dlna/upnp
[02:26:58] hydroponx: dunno
[02:27:18] hydroponx: I have hdmi out from my frontend to my receiver
[02:28:16] hydroponx: if you don't have hdmi out (from pc) or vga input (to tv) then that maybe a true statement
[02:29:45] austeregrim: Yeah the point was I didn't really want a front end at all. This whole exercise was so that I could get my cable stream on my network to watch live tv with pause playback... without having another box at my media center

[02:48:11] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:50:46] tgm4883: austeregrim: so setup some schedules to record and forget about live tv
[02:51:44] austeregrim: if I want to watch recorded stuff I've got access to other content. I wanted live tv with playback for things like news shows... which don't make sense recording news
[02:55:01] tgm4883: austeregrim: well you have your options
[02:57:04] austeregrim: I don't mind using myth as a recorder... that's not the thing that I needed it for... and putting another box at my tv was not something I was wanting to do. No one said "live tv isn't streamed over dlna" or there are no other softwares available to complete this...
[02:57:45] austeregrim: what options do I have tgm4883 ?
[02:58:53] tgm4883: either putting a box at your TV. There's some work being done for the raspberry pi, but I don't know the current status of it. Or, set up schedules to record and then watch recordings.
[02:59:12] tgm4883: I don't use DLNA, so I don't know how well that's supported and what it can and cannot do
[03:00:31] austeregrim: I see what it does for dlna, and it looks promising to decent, as far as cataloging recorded shows.
[03:01:37] austeregrim: my rub is that there is no front end for any device I have. ps3, ps4, roku, vizio smart tv...
[03:01:53] austeregrim: so without a front end, I can't do live tv.
[03:02:38] austeregrim: unless I get the newer version of the hd homerun, for $150 which does support dlna live
[03:02:58] austeregrim: and make it work in conjunction with myth
[03:03:11] tgm4883: austeregrim: well to be fair, mythtv does a good job of supporting legacy stuff like live tv
[03:03:18] tgm4883: just apparently not with DLNA
[03:06:36] austeregrim: just a little frustrated... all this time spent on this to find out it doesn't do the crucial part without a mythtv specific front end.
[03:07:07] austeregrim: I'll probably have to get a Intel NuC for this
[03:08:31] austeregrim: throw mythbuntu on it as only a frontend

[15:26:46] justinh: aye aye. Looks like my myth system has gobbled through another video card. I don't actually even watch recorded telly anymore & what the wife & kids want can be watched on-demand, so I think it's gonna be bye bye big ugly box in the corner, hello NAS box, hello little on-demand box. Cutting the cable.. the aerial cable. Heh. That is, IF the on-demand solution can pass muster.

[19:55:39] austeregrim: jmcentee, it looks like i've got it running well. Not sure why the front end had freaked out after the first reboot, but updating it through apt-get for the fourth time got it working.
[19:57:04] austeregrim: but this $40 project has turned into a $600 one, because now I want two Intel NuC computers as front ends, and the newer HDHomeRun.
[19:58:07] austeregrim: I really don't even watch this much tv... I just really wanted it available for background noise (live tv), and to playback things like police chases. Thats what started the whole thing was watching a police chase on the news last week.
[19:59:57] austeregrim: after all was said and done, finding out the major portion of what myth can effectively do with DLNA is to share only recorded streams, was a let down... I will press on. Maybe someone needs to make a plugin that makes a DLNA add on for live streaming.

I've got stuff recorded, but recorded videos aren't supported on some of my devices, as far as my android phone, it gave me a warning the audio codec isn't supported... on the ps3 it's saying the entire video isn't supported... how can I change the codecs that are used during recording? or how does myth transcode recorded content is it after the fact?

[22:13:29] jmcentee: a raspberrypi will be a lot cheaper than a nuc for a frontend, and the reports are uit works well with minor issues in my opinion https://github.com/bennettpeter/mythtv/releases
[22:14:23] austeregrim: I'm not opposed to getting a pi... but the nuc being x86 arch gives me a warm fuzzy.
[22:14:49] jmcentee: justinh: do you know what a kodi box is?
[22:14:57] justinh: of course I know what it is
[22:15:16] austeregrim: If I stop using the nuc as a frontend, it has other uses... not saying the pi doesn't, but it's a bit more esoteric in it's usability
[22:15:37] justinh: I'm gonna get a NAS for file storage & use (if it doesn't suck too badly) my provider's box for TV – on demand & from the network
[22:16:24] austeregrim: justinh, from my little experience, using a nas is good.. I've got my storage locations on nfs shares.
[22:16:35] justinh: this system is on its last legs, and it's done well. 24/7 operation for countless years now but to replace it with a like system now would just be silly IMHO. New board, new box, new tuners, new video card.. gah
[22:17:15] justinh: I watch so little TV myself these days I don't really care if it's unreliable or a bit crap
[22:18:38] justinh: mythtv has been a brilliant workhorse in all this time & has rarely skipped a beat. It's a brilliant thing but I'm dying to get away from needing a full-on PC for content
[22:19:13] jmcentee: not IT people at work are able to buy a kodi box and get it working with no problems for only £30, cheaper than a NAS.
[22:19:33] justinh: get it working dead easy for sure. KEEP it working? ROFLMAO
[22:19:39] tgm4883: austeregrim: while that's true. A Pi is also a 10th of the price
[22:20:01] justinh: my dad's got an android TV box with kodi on it. It's a PIRATE JOKE
[22:20:28] tgm4883: You can get a Pi setup for £30?
[22:20:39] justinh: click on that stream.. oh it's dead. click on another.. oh it's dead. Ahh it needs updating... reboot. reboot. reboot. Click on a stream.. oh it's STILL DEAD. LOL
[22:20:53] justinh: and all the UK TV plugin things are hacks
[22:21:07] justinh: hacks relying on stolen content. Meh
[22:21:57] justinh: the real irony is that some people are actually *paying* to watch pirated content now, so their lists of working streams can be kept up to date
[22:22:35] justinh: nah all that's gonna implode before too long I bet. I certainly hope it does & it'll serve everybody right
[22:23:10] tgm4883: justinh: you're a salty individual aren't you :)
[22:23:19] austeregrim: I can get an older NuC for $150... which is only about 5 or 6x the price of a pi and should work just as well, with other capacity as a x86 box.
[22:23:52] justinh: we mostly watch free TV. what isn't free, is bought on disks and ripped to storage :) Or there's this amazing new thing apparently where you pay a small monthly fee & have the chance to watch loads of different things!
[22:24:13] austeregrim: I'm trying to watch my spending... but price isn't really a concern at this point... it's usability.
[22:24:35] justinh: tgm4883: well, I have my opinions that's for sure. I don't like the 'free' option if it spends a lot of time not working

[22:25:33] justinh: remains to be see what this 'youview' content box is really like. It doesn't seem too awful at first glance.
[22:25:48] austeregrim: well, usability and the fact I didn't want an extra box sitting at both my entertainment centers, when I've already got a ps3, and ps4, and one of my tvs is a smart tv with dlna.
[22:26:16] austeregrim: when I say x86, I mean the ability to install windows linux or whatever I want.
[22:27:14] austeregrim: x86 is a bit more flexible than arm architectures.
[22:27:53] jmcentee: only for windows
[22:28:54] tgm4883: jmcentee: there's a bit more software for x86 than arm
[22:29:09] justinh: it's impressive – nay even amazing that my backend/frontend has lasted so long for any always-on PC

[22:41:45] justinh: hmm hang on. my router has 2 usb ports.. maybe that could be a filey server
[22:42:32] austeregrim: justinh, your router would not be worthy of a file server.. it can, but not for video content.
[22:43:14] austeregrim: it's okay for a share of files between people, but not something where you need speed or low latency.
[22:45:30] justinh: a NAS wouldn't be either by that metric. Not a cheap one
[22:45:45] justinh: video doesn't need low latency
[22:46:19] justinh: or speed so much. When rips & even recorded TV is only up to what... 5Mbits/sec
[22:46:48] justinh: (we don't yet do those 'blue' discs in our house)
[22:48:12] justinh: darn it. Why did I think this new box had DLNA? Ah so maybe we DO need an android box then. Just not with those unreliable piece of cack plugins
[22:49:29] justinh: the only sticking point for me about all the on-demand stuff is that each channel has its own 'portal'
[22:53:40] tgm4883: jmcentee: uh, we're currently in a channel where the software is just now getting ARM versions that actually work on things
[22:55:41] tgm4883: jmcentee: there are 1500 more packages for x86 vs armhf in the ubuntu repos
[22:57:23] tgm4883: generally faster (even older systems), upgradable
[22:58:02] tgm4883: About the only thing ARM has going for it is Size, Cost, Power Consumption.
[23:05:15] austeregrim: okay, so my thing is recording a show, but when I'm trying to watch live tv on the front end it's only showing me two channels.
[23:06:22] austeregrim: I looked through the menu, and I see two sources to switch I suppose the hdhr's input I'm on, both are named the same
[23:09:31] tgm4883: austeregrim: there is a setting somewhere (in the backend maybe? IDK I don't use live tv) that says to basically start from the opposite end of your tuner list for live tv
[23:09:39] tgm4883: or you could hit "Y" I think
[23:09:57] tgm4883: basically, you're on the same tuner as your recording, so you are only seeing the multiplex stuff
[23:10:26] austeregrim: I see that now. thanks... yeah I changed input to the other tuner
[23:10:45] austeregrim: but it's strange the tuners are both labeled the same "TV-2"
[23:11:59] austeregrim: now I'm trying to figure out why the video is choppy on the other tuner, I'm monitoring the snmp on the backend to see where the lag is
