[03:09:54] mack-: I'm in the situation for the first time in many years that I need to run find_orphans. I'm on v29 with mythbuntu repo in 18.04 lts, and getting the error MythTV.exceptions.MythDBError: Could not find setting 'BackendServerAddr' on host '192.168.17.2'. I sort of assumed the problem was not running the script as user 'mythtv', or my ~/.mythtv/config.xml wasn't configured with a hostname, but both ~ and ~mythtv have "localhost".
[03:11:11] mack-: running find_orphans as my user, or sudo -u mythtv, both on the backend or a frontend all give the same error. This looks really familiar like it's come up here on the channel before.
[03:13:25] mack-: I'm assuming the python binding helpers are checking the db for a setting for BackendServerAddr matching hostname=192.169.17.2, but the db has no entries with that host
[03:14:54] mack-: so I guess I don't know where the python binding is doing a lookup for the backend server (that IP address) and then looking for the address in the db instead of the hostname
[03:54:34] mack-: I guess the answer is to give up after hours and ask publicly for help. While I continued to look, I found https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/13593
[03:56:22] mack-: BackendServerAddr did not equal MasterServerIP. I changed BackendServerAddr via SQL to the IP address value of MasterServerIP and find_orphans.py runs.

[21:09:04] TrinitronX: @mack: I'm not familiar with "find_orphans", but that error looks like it might be a mysql connection error. Try checking that the database is still running, and on the network interface & port that it's expecting?
[21:09:47] TrinitronX: sudo systemctl status mysql ; sudo netstat -tunlp | grep mysql  ;
[21:10:09] TrinitronX: Then, try connecting using the same settings as in the config file (mysql.txt):
[21:10:12] TrinitronX: mysql --user=mythtv --database=mythconverg --password=$(cat ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt | grep DBPassword= | cut -d= -f2 )
[21:11:17] mack-: TrinitronX: read to the end :) I found the bug that was patched in v30
[21:12:06] TrinitronX: Ah, nice
[21:12:11] TrinitronX: I was about to suggest checking this: select * from settings where value LIKE '%BackendServerAddr%';
[21:13:53] mack-: As a result, the find_orphans wiki page is misleading. The section for "v30 and below" isn't guaranteed to work on anything less than 30 out of the box.

[21:15:54] TrinitronX: Seems like a lot of changes will be happening, especially with deprecation of Python 2. I'm considering upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 and mythtv 0.31 soon... but I'm a bit wary of what might happen
[21:16:36] TrinitronX: My mythtv box has an older Nvidia GPU that uses VDPAU (I remember when that was 'state of the art'... lol)
[21:16:58] TrinitronX: seems like they still support it, but they do mention in release notes: "All new and existing users are strongly advised to review their video display profiles"
[21:18:13] TrinitronX: right now I'm still on 0.29.1
[21:20:26] stuarta: primarily vaapi users are affected

[21:49:01] monkey1: Hi all, i haven't setup channels in many years. i am in the USA using schedulesdirect.org. I rescanned the channels then manually put in the xmlid from schedulesdirect.
[21:49:18] monkey1: I don't know how to force a scan, mythfilldatabase isn't supported anymore?
[21:49:47] TrinitronX: Seems like my old card (GT215 [GeForce GT 240]) supports both va-api & vdpau (VA-API version 1.1.0, NVIDIA VDPAU Driver Shared Library 340.107)
[21:51:21] TrinitronX: I see a lot more details from vainfo, & vdpauinfo. It doesn't support HEVC/h.265, it was of the generation that supported h.264
[21:52:31] monkey1: How do i force the backend to rescan and populate the guide?
[21:53:42] TrinitronX: @monkey1 : I believe it's: mythfilldatabase
[21:54:24] TrinitronX: but I'm not sure if that changed in newer versions
[21:58:22] TrinitronX: Looks like release notes say: "Support for the DataDirect guide service from Schedules Direct has been removed. Either of the two XMLTV grabbers for Schedules Direct should now be used. XMLTV Wiki, Ticket #13411"
[21:59:02] monkey1: TrinitronX thanks, i reconfigured it to use the supported. However, now mythfilldatabase segfaults.
[22:07:00] TrinitronX: hmm... sounds like a bug. Not sure I can help with that one
[22:09:52] TrinitronX: some forum threads from ~2014 say this was happening in old versions (around v0.27).. had something to do with version of Qt it linked against, also possibly the version on MacOS?
[22:10:06] amessina (amessina!~amessina@unaffiliated/amessina) has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
[22:11:16] TrinitronX: I'd start by checking version of mythfilldatabase, and libraries it links against. Other than that, I'm not a mythtv developer so I'd be guessing in the dark
[22:12:52] stuarta: monkey1: what version you running
[22:23:59] monkey1: Version 31

[23:21:09] monkey1: OK, i figured it out, i have to switch to use the XMLTV instructions which I found at https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV
[23:35:54] Kwisher[m]: monkey1: that was the reason i restored back to .30 after running .31 for a few days :(
[23:38:39] monkey1: Kwisher: Yeah, i was getting worried for awhile until i stumbled onto that page.
