[14:48:42] ooshlablu: hi all
[14:50:04] ooshlablu: I have a question: is there a way when watching live tv to have the backend only use 1 tuner / file when multiple computers connect? I've done things like view what's being recorded using the live filter in recordings, but that's not quite what I'm looking for

[17:10:25] cybrNaut: mythtvarchive says it saves archived files to "mytharchivefile/"
[17:10:33] cybrNaut: where is that rooted?
[17:15:13] cybrNaut: i expect it to be in /var/lib/mytharchive/ but that only has a log and an xml file

[17:27:59] cybrNaut: i suspect mytharchive isn't what I thought it was. It's not producing a media file with metadata
[17:35:27] cybrNaut: what's the point of running mythtranscode? The docs say how to use it but not the *why* (https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtranscode)
[17:36:14] cybrNaut: so i'm left guessing. I see that there is a "--honorcutlist" option.
[17:36:15] mack-: cybrNaut: follow the first link in that document :) https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcoding
[17:37:46] cybrNaut: ah, thanks. i was speculating the point was to remove commercials, but i also thought commercials would be removed automatically during playback
[17:39:30] cybrNaut: "to support devices that desire a particular format, like H.264 on handheld devices." <= i've been doing that manually with ffmpeg outside of mythtv, because mythtv doesn't have an h.264 option
[17:39:35] mack-: detected commercials can be flagged (sometimes callaed commflagging in documentation). You can either have your player skip them (commskip) or actually cut them out via transcode.
[17:41:06] cybrNaut: i'll have to try transcoding, because VLC doesn't seem to be removing the commercials.
[17:44:50] mack-: as far as I know, vlc doesn't do EDL (commskip)
[17:45:25] mack-: mplayer should, but I've never tried it
[17:49:04] cybrNaut: i think nuvexport is supposed to give h.264 transcoding, and I happen to have it installed from the libmythtv-perl pkg, but i don't see anywhere in the transcoding settings to specify h.264
[17:56:10] mack-: there are hyperlinks in the wiki documents that you should follow :)
[17:56:25] mack-: must run now.

[18:12:10] gigem: ooshlablu: No, each live tv session uses its own virtual tuner and recording file and that is unlikely to change. However, you can use the live tv menu to manually change the tuner to reduce the number of physical tuners when multiple sessions are watching the same channel or multiplex.
[18:36:45] ooshlablu: ok, that's what I thought, thanx
[18:44:23] peterben1: gigem: If you increase Max recordings or set "Schedule as Group", would it not be able to use the same tuner for multiple live tv users? It would still create multiple recording files.
[18:49:24] ooshlablu: the files part is what I was really concerned about :-)
[18:49:42] ooshlablu: believe in and praise auto-expire ;-D
[18:50:56] peterben1: ooshlablu: The LiveTV files are expired sooner than normal recordings.

[21:35:02] gigem: peterben1: It could. I know I thought about it. I don't remember if I actually added it. I'd like to improve the live tv "scheduling" but doing so depends on other, non-trivial changes being done first None of it expected to be started any time soon.
