| [00:39:59] | majost: | with 0.20 |
| [00:42:53] | bac: | on ubuntu, when starting the backend does it get the mysql password from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt? i'm trying to figure out why the backend won't start and report "access denied" for mythtv@localhost. |
| [00:44:07] | tjcarter: | haha, as reality shows go, this is funny. |
| [00:44:27] | juski: | bac: usually goes for a local mysql.txt file IIRC |
| [00:44:33] | Anduin: | bac: It should, can you connect with mysql -u mythtv etc |
| [00:44:34] | Anduin: | ? |
| [00:44:43] | bac: | Anduin: yes |
| [00:45:04] | juski: | did you put the correct password in mythtv-setup? |
| [00:45:34] | bac: | juski: yes, i put the one in from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt |
| [00:45:37] | Anduin: | bac: also good to check ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt if it exists, it will look many places and combine |
| [00:46:05] | bac: | Anduin: thanks. my home directory has no .mythtv and neither does /root |
| [00:46:31] | juski: | sure? a simple 'ls' won't show it |
| [00:46:45] | bac: | juski: yep...'ls -a' |
| [00:46:51] | juski: | ok :) |
| [00:46:59] | bac: | juski: np |
| [00:47:10] | juski: | have to point that stuff out sometimes ;) |
| [00:47:51] | bac: | so, when the backend starts, does it read the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file? i've looked at the init script but can't figure out where it's getting the password |
| [00:48:26] | cesman: | perhaps /usr/share/mythtv |
| [00:48:26] | Dagmar: | It looks at a number of places |
| [00:48:34] | cesman: | or ~/.mythtv |

| [00:50:14] | jarle (jarle!n=jarle@70.84-234-133.customer.lyse.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [00:50:23] | bac: | Anduin: yes, it's in /usr/bin. installed from ubuntu packages |
| [00:51:03] | bac: | cesman: /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt has the same password as from /etc/mythtv...and it is the one that works |
| [00:53:09] | cesman: | bac: ok |
| [00:55:19] | bac: | it's odd b/c mythfilldatabase connects to mysql with no problem, and i can do it by running 'mysql -u mythtv' directly, but mythtv-backend cannot connect... ;( |
| [00:57:08] | cesman: | bac: who are you running the backend as? |
| [00:57:47] | bac: | logged in as 'bac' (in the mythtv group) i'm running "sudo /etc/init.d/myth-backend start" |
| [01:01:52] | bac: | whoo hoo! |
| [01:02:07] | juski: | what I'd do is 'locate mysql.txt' :) and make sure all the login details are correct |
| [01:02:08] | bac: | it was /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt that it was using! |
| [01:02:48] | bac: | *that* is annoying. you'd think the one in /etc would be definitive |
| [01:03:35] | juski: | nah mythtv doesn't look in there I don't think. local ones override any others anyway AFAIK |
| [01:04:50] | juski: | it'd be cool if the ubuntu packagers changed their debconf script to write the same contents to both /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt :) |
| [01:06:02] | bac: | juski: yeah, that would be nice. i'll file a bug against it |

| [01:06:29] | cesman: | you're welcome |
| [01:09:39] | just_joe: | cesman: the only thing funny (i see) in mythbackend.log is "MythSocket(95552c0:-1): writeStringList: Error, called with unconnected socket." |
| [01:10:10] | just_joe: | everything seems to work xcept saving a schedule to record |

| [01:38:40] | just_joe: | so where are the scheduled recordings stored? in mysql? I did a mythdbcheck.sh with no errors. where else should I be looking? |
| [01:39:12] | hads: | Everything is stored in mysql |
| [01:41:00] | just_joe: | ok. i can't figure out how to debug this. i cant save a schedule and all my previosuly saved schedules disappeared. everything worked fine for a month the only bad thing to happen was running out of space to save recordings which i fixed |
| [01:43:49] | juski: | you ran out of hdd space? if the partition where the db is stored runs out of room, mysql can get very corrupted |
| [01:45:06] | just_joe: | i ran out of space on /storage where is the mysql db stored? |
| [01:45:38] | just_joe: | the only errors in mythbackend.log start with a readStringList: Error, timeout." |
| [01:46:04] | just_joe: | and then i get a bunch of writeStringList: Error, socket went unconnected. which sounds like i'm not talking to the mysql? |
| [01:46:30] | just_joe: | i have the front and backend on the same box a mythdora install |
| [01:47:11] | just_joe: | juski: would mythdbcheck.sh show that corruption? |
| [01:47:50] | ** hads doesn't know what mythdbcheck.sh does ** | |
| [01:48:44] | just_joe: | hads: me either |
| [01:48:55] | hads: | Um, you could read it. |
| [01:49:40] | hads: | Traditionally mysql stores it's dta in /var/lib |
| [01:50:27] | just_joe: | # Nightly check for mysql database consistancy # |
| [01:50:29] | fryfrog: | i don't see any mythdbcheck.sh on my setup, but i *think* the optimize script does a repair |
| [01:50:52] | fryfrog: | optimize_mythdb.pl, found in ./contrib/ |
| [01:50:55] | just_joe: | its in /usr/share/mythdora where is the optimize script? |
| [01:51:04] | fryfrog: | oh, sorry i don't use mythdora |
| [01:51:16] | fryfrog: | svn head on ubuntu 7.04 |
| [01:52:01] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: before you start trying to recover the database, make a backup copy of the whole db directory (probably /var/lib/mysql) |
| [01:53:26] | just_joe: | tar -cvf mysqlbackup.tar mysql/ done |
| [01:53:39] | alsoconfused: | :) |
| [01:54:01] | alsoconfused: | myisamchk is the stock utility for checking mysql tables |
| [01:54:21] | just_joe: | just run it? |
| [01:54:25] | hads: | s/mysql/isam/ |
| [01:54:30] | alsoconfused: | man myisamchk |
| [01:55:03] | fryfrog: | or uh, how about `mysqldump -u <user> -p --opt <dbname> | bzip2 > mythconverg.sql.bz2 |
| [01:55:17] | fryfrog: | that is the "real" ish way of backing up a db |
| [01:55:25] | alsoconfused: | even a broken one? |
| [01:55:32] | fryfrog: | oh, ahah duh |
| [01:55:38] | fryfrog: | well, i dunno it might still work? |
| [01:55:44] | fryfrog: | i wasn't paying attention, will mysql start? |

| [01:57:01] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: you should be able to { cd /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg; myisamchk *MYI; } |
| [01:57:12] | just_joe: | uhm how can i tell exactly there are two pids when i grep for mysql /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe and /usr/libexec/mysqld |
| [01:57:38] | alsoconfused: | mysqld_safe is just a wrapper that calls mysqld |
| [01:58:15] | just_joe: | ok i didnt see anything wierd. |
| [01:58:33] | alsoconfused: | what, isamchk? |
| [01:58:38] | alsoconfused: | all tables ok? |
| [01:58:50] | just_joe: | yes i did what alsoconfused said |
| [01:58:56] | just_joe: | all tables looked ok |

| [01:59:09] | alsoconfused: | did the number of data records seem sane? |
| [01:59:10] | TUplink1: | checks the DB files |
| [01:59:16] | just_joe: | *sigh* at least as far as my scrollback history was concerned... :( |
| [01:59:37] | alsoconfused: | |less ? |
| [01:59:45] | just_joe: | just run it again? |
| [02:00:01] | alsoconfused: | myisamchk *MYI | less |
| [02:00:29] | alsoconfused: | actually, you need myisamchk *MYI 2>&1 | less |
| [02:01:19] | just_joe: | or myisamchk *MYI > myisamchk.log |
| [02:01:29] | alsoconfused: | whatever floats your boat |
| [02:01:38] | just_joe: | what does 2>&1 do? |
| [02:02:05] | just_joe: | all of the records seem fine |
| [02:02:26] | TUplink1: | i thought if you put 2>&1 after a command it made it not return anything and bun in the background |
| [02:02:42] | hads: | google: bash redirection |
| [02:02:45] | alsoconfused: | 2 refers to the "standard error" output which is where myisamchk seems to write its results. anyway i think the next step is to connect to the db from the commandline |
| [02:02:45] | just_joe: | ahh |

| [02:03:41] | TUplink1: | anyone know anything about REMOVING COMERCIALS from the NUV files? |
| [02:03:54] | just_joe: | i thought short stuff was ok, i wasn't going topaste a mile just one example :( |
| [02:04:23] | just_joe: | ferk, now i have to hit the enter button on chatzilla... |
| [02:04:38] | alsoconfused: | you had us worried |
| [02:04:56] | just_joe: | my bad |
| [02:05:04] | alsoconfused: | connect to the database, if you have the standard user/password it's: mysql -umythtv -pmythtv mythconverg |
| [02:05:42] | just_joe: | ok that works and im at a mysql prompt |
| [02:05:48] | alsoconfused: | show tables; |
| [02:06:07] | just_joe: | 75 rows |
| [02:06:14] | alsoconfused: | sounds about right |
| [02:06:27] | alsoconfused: | next question, why can't mythtv connect. |
| [02:06:29] | bac (bac!n=bac@canonical/launchpad/bac) has quit () | |
| [02:06:39] | alsoconfused: | what did you change? :) |
| [02:06:39] | TUplink1: | mine has 89 tables |
| [02:06:55] | just_joe: | i don't know enough to change anything :D |
| [02:06:56] | alsoconfused: | mine is 82, but it depends on the addons |
| [02:07:42] | alsoconfused: | it's been a while since i've had to mess with this, but i'd look at ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt |
| [02:07:54] | TUplink1: | im doing mythcommflag --gencutlist and keep getting No program data exists for channel at |
| [02:08:02] | just_joe: | hmm |
| [02:08:32] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: do you know which unix user myth runs as on your machine? |
| [02:09:00] | just_joe: | mythtv |
| [02:09:12] | just_joe: | i think |
| [02:09:33] | alsoconfused: | this is mythdora? |
| [02:09:43] | just_joe: | yes |
| [02:09:54] | just_joe: | mythtv 3010 1 0 Jul20 ? 00:02:14 mythfrontend |
| [02:10:00] | alsoconfused: | ls /home/mythtv/.mythtv |
| [02:10:18] | just_joe: | ok |
| [02:10:57] | just_joe: | err ok that exists rather |
| [02:11:29] | alsoconfused: | cat /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt |
| [02:12:04] | just_joe: | i have the default password |
| [02:12:47] | alsoconfused: | you should see DBHostName=localhost DBUserName=mythtv DBPassword=mythtv DBName=mythconverg and probably DBType=QMYSQL3 |
| [02:12:59] | just_joe: | yes exactly |
| [02:13:30] | alsoconfused: | so how did we arrive at the conclusion that it was a db problem? |
| [02:13:46] | just_joe: | don't know that. |
| [02:13:51] | alsoconfused: | doh! |
| [02:14:10] | alsoconfused: | it's a problem with the backend starting? |
| [02:14:18] | just_joe: | the problem is that (which i said earlier) all of my scheduled shows went away and I cant save new ones. so i am no longer recording anything |
| [02:14:30] | just_joe: | backend is running to. |
| [02:14:37] | just_joe: | (too) |
| [02:14:42] | alsoconfused: | ahh, right |
| [02:14:56] | alsoconfused: | i seem to remember a debugging flag for seeing the database interaction |
| [02:15:11] | hads: | -v help |
| [02:15:17] | alsoconfused: | -v database |
| [02:15:27] | alsoconfused: | -v schedule might be handy too |
| [02:15:39] | just_joe: | you lost me |
| [02:15:55] | alsoconfused: | you'll need to stop the backend and start it manally from the commandline |
| [02:15:56] | just_joe: | kill the current backend and run it with those added to the command line? |
| [02:16:05] | alsoconfused: | right |
| [02:16:14] | alsoconfused: | -v schedule,database |
| [02:16:27] | hads: | ,important |
| [02:16:43] | alsoconfused: | -v whatthefuck |
| [02:17:32] | just_joe: | hmm Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authen |
| [02:17:45] | just_joe: | tication failed |
| [02:17:49] | alsoconfused: | that was the backend? |
| [02:17:57] | just_joe: | yea |
| [02:18:00] | just_joe: | wait a sec |
| [02:18:26] | alsoconfused: | that error is about X (gui) authentication |
| [02:18:31] | TUplink1: | Just_joe..... backend and frontend on the same box? |
| [02:18:32] | just_joe: | yeah it restarted (new pid) and the command line returned that |
| [02:18:38] | just_joe: | yes |
| [02:18:42] | TUplink1: | ok... |
| [02:18:45] | alsoconfused: | strange |
| [02:19:03] | TUplink1: | what happens if you run it as root |
| [02:19:17] | just_joe: | that was as root |
| [02:19:22] | TUplink1: | hum.... |
| [02:19:25] | TUplink1: | ok.... |
| [02:19:35] | just_joe: | run it is mythtv? |
| [02:19:43] | alsoconfused: | yes |
| [02:19:46] | alsoconfused: | kill the old one first |
| [02:20:23] | just_joe: | wow much more output |
| [02:20:41] | alsoconfused: | i was about to say you might want to increase the buffer on your terminal |
| [02:21:28] | just_joe: | ok it connected to the db fine |
| [02:21:28] | alsoconfused: | or, you can redirect the output to a file. either way, if you can't see the problem, put it up on a pastebin |
| [02:21:43] | alsoconfused: | is the schedule there now? |
| [02:22:11] | just_joe: | no it says i havent scheduled anything |
| [02:22:20] | alsoconfused: | is the listing info there? |
| [02:23:10] | just_joe: | 2007-07–27 19:20:34.147 MSqlQuery: SELECT recorded.chanid, starttime, |
| [02:23:22] | just_joe: | 2007-07–27 19:20:45.246 MythSocket(95f44d0:10): readStringList: Error, timeout. |
| [02:23:28] | just_joe: | is the first error i see |
| [02:23:42] | just_joe: | (the query is a little longer thanthat) |
| [02:24:19] | alsoconfused: | what's the "FROM" part of that query? |
| [02:25:18] | just_joe: | FROM jobqueue j, recorded r WHERE j.chanid = r.chanid AND j.starttime = r.starttime ORDER BY j.inserttime, j.chanid, j.id; |
| [02:25:27] | GreyFoxx: | This might be a little OT for this channel, but anyone know what is considered the best speech to text recognition software or libary these days ? |
| [02:25:30] | TUplink1: | just_joe what is the prob? exatly |
| [02:25:45] | TUplink1: | Festival |
| [02:25:49] | alsoconfused: | his schedule disappeared |
| [02:25:58] | just_joe: | yes what he said |
| [02:26:12] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: try running that exact query from the mysql prompt |
| [02:26:12] | TUplink1: | um...... schedule.... but not the program data |
| [02:26:23] | GreyFoxx: | TUplink1: Cool. Have you used it ? |
| [02:26:25] | just_joe: | tup: yes |
| [02:26:37] | just_joe: | do i have to kill the backend? |
| [02:26:38] | TUplink1: | yea.... with my Voip server |
| [02:26:38] | alsoconfused: | festival is text to speech |
| [02:26:51] | TUplink1: | WAS A PAIN IN THE RUMP to setup |
| [02:26:53] | alsoconfused: | or so i thought |
| [02:27:00] | hads: | Yeah |
| [02:27:03] | GreyFoxx: | ahhh, I was looking for something the other way, convert speech to text |
| [02:27:10] | TUplink1: | oh... you said speach to text SORRY |
| [02:27:16] | hads: | GreyFoxx: I don't know of anything unfortunately |
| [02:27:33] | GreyFoxx: | something I can feed audio either from a MIC or a file and it try and convert it to text |
| [02:27:37] | just_joe: | http://pastebin.com/m9a1f7e0 |
| [02:27:43] | GreyFoxx: | time to search I guess :) |
| [02:28:05] | TUplink1: | only speach to text i know of is https://studio.tellme.com/ dont know how it works |
| [02:29:16] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: does the mythsocket error happen only when you start the frontend? |
| [02:29:36] | GreyFoxx: | Ahh sphinx that's what I was trying to remember |
| [02:29:37] | just_joe: | uhh i can kill the frontend and retry? |
| [02:29:45] | alsoconfused: | yeah |
| [02:29:58] | just_joe: | that select command returned nthing |
| [02:30:30] | TUplink1: | GreyFoxx:..... you can call 1800555tell and get an example of how it works |
| [02:30:51] | TUplink1: | it uses XML i belive |
| [02:31:00] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: look at line 107 of your pastebin: localhost.localdomain as a slave backend server |
| [02:31:03] | TUplink1: | and you can host your file on their server i think |
| [02:31:17] | just_joe: | how did that happen? |
| [02:31:21] | GreyFoxx: | hahah there is even a perl module for this |
| [02:31:22] | just_joe: | and how do i change it? |
| [02:32:26] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: i think there's a setting in the gui for "this is the master backend" |
| [02:32:28] | just_joe: | this is supposed to be a one box setup |
| [02:32:46] | just_joe: | you men in mythtvsetup? |
| [02:32:51] | alsoconfused: | that's what it thought. i think it's trying to run as a slave. not sure though. |
| [02:33:01] | alsoconfused: | probably |
| [02:33:40] | alsoconfused: | killall the backend and frontend processes before you run mythtvsetup |
| [02:33:53] | cyrexion: | hey guys, where can I find the source for knoppmyth so I can build nvidia drivers into the kernel? |
| [02:35:08] | just_joe: | i didnt see that option, but i set the backend to 127.0.0.1 |
| [02:36:14] | just_joe: | will that also do it? |
| [02:36:21] | alsoconfused: | master server ip address? |
| [02:37:13] | TUplink1: | whats the benifit to having a slave backend..... |
| [02:37:18] | TUplink1: | more tuners |
| [02:37:20] | just_joe: | it was my ip address now it is 127.0.0.1 |
| [02:37:30] | TUplink1: | all accessable to 1 frontend |
| [02:37:35] | alsoconfused: | did your ip address change? |
| [02:37:36] | TUplink1: | ? |
| [02:37:46] | just_joe: | no 127 is the loopback |
| [02:38:04] | just_joe: | i dont see where to say I am a master not slave backend |
| [02:38:07] | alsoconfused: | your box is still at 192.168.1.179 |
| [02:38:09] | alsoconfused: | ? |
| [02:38:36] | TUplink1: | Just_joe if you have no enabled adapters in windows 127.0.0.1 dosnt work..... but not sure how that applys to linux |
| [02:38:48] | just_joe: | the ethernet address is 192.168.1.179 the loopback is 127.0.0.1 |
| [02:39:08] | TUplink1: | yea i guess lo0 would always be enabled tho |
| [02:39:09] | _Zoltan_ (_Zoltan_!n=dah@adsl-150-225-196.tys.bellsouth.net) has quit (Client Quit) | |
| [02:39:37] | just_joe: | but that doesnt make me the backend it just tells me to talk to that address as the backend |
| [02:39:45] | alsoconfused: | not sure, but if the two ip addresses in mythtvsetup don't match, it might infer that it's a slave |
| [02:40:04] | alsoconfused: | give it a whirl with both set to 127.0.0.1. that's what i have |
| [02:40:45] | just_joe: | right now the localhost and master server ip address as the loopback |
| [02:41:31] | alsoconfused: | restart the backend with the same -v options. see if it still says anything about Connecting to master server: |
| [02:41:42] | majost: | is anyone using a DiSEqC switch? |
| [02:42:29] | just_joe: | cannot open logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log what just changed? |
| [02:42:57] | TUplink1: | chmod 666 var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |
| [02:42:58] | alsoconfused: | you ran it as root one time, so maybe the permissions on that file got whacked |
| [02:43:02] | just_joe: | oh when i ran it as root did it change that file ownershuip to root? |
| [02:44:15] | alsoconfused: | could be |
| [02:44:50] | just_joe: | now it isnt starting |
| [02:44:54] | just_joe: | as mythtv |
| [02:45:27] | alsoconfused: | ls -ld /var/log/mythtv ; ls -l /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |
| [02:46:01] | just_joe: | they both exist |
| [02:46:09] | alsoconfused: | but who owns them? |
| [02:46:21] | TUplink1: | ls -al var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |
| [02:46:25] | just_joe: | 1st is mythtv second is root |
| [02:46:41] | alsoconfused: | as root, chown mythtv /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |
| [02:46:52] | majost: | you know.. you could just rename the log and have the app make a new one |
| [02:46:56] | majost: | heh |
| [02:46:59] | majost: | its a hack though |
| [02:47:14] | TUplink1: | actuly do this chown mythtv:mythtv /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |
| [02:47:21] | TUplink1: | set owner and group |
| [02:47:51] | just_joe: | yeah i just did that still no |
| [02:48:03] | alsoconfused: | same error? |
| [02:48:18] | just_joe: | zero output and process dies |
| [02:48:22] | majost: | just move the log and see what happens |
| [02:48:28] | just_joe: | both? |
| [02:48:43] | majost: | if it still dies... make sure you disk isn't full |
| [02:48:46] | alsoconfused: | mv /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log.save |
| [02:49:07] | just_joe: | (got disk space) |
| [02:49:26] | just_joe: | still dies |
| [02:49:43] | alsoconfused: | try with -v all |
| [02:49:46] | majost: | is mysql running? |
| [02:49:52] | alsoconfused: | it was |

| [02:50:53] | just_joe: | i could run it as root? |
| [02:50:56] | TUplink1: | did it put anything in the logfile? |
| [02:51:33] | just_joe: | ahh yes |
| [02:51:37] | just_joe: | was just looking |
| [02:51:44] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: i would not run it as root |
| [02:52:07] | just_joe: | no thats not it |
| [02:52:18] | just_joe: | my fingers fumbled |
| [02:52:26] | Tanthrix: | just_joe: Meh, I think the whole "fear of root" thing is silly. I've run all my myth stuff as root for years with no problem. |
| [02:52:32] | just_joe: | "/var/run/mythbackend.pid: Permission denied" |
| [02:52:52] | majost: | heh |
| [02:53:00] | alsoconfused: | okay, as root rm /var/run/mythbackend.pid |
| [02:53:21] | just_joe: | doesnt exist |
| [02:53:23] | alsoconfused: | Tanthrix: famous last words |
| [02:53:32] | just_joe: | do i have to touch it and chown to mythv? |
| [02:53:52] | Tanthrix: | alsoconfused: Perhaps, but I find that it's not too difficult to avoid typing "rm -rf /" oddly enough |
| [02:54:27] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: you probably do |
| [02:54:31] | Tanthrix: | alsoconfused: I think the fear is irrational, and exists mainly to give linux users something to bitch at newbies about while making themselves feel like they are avoiding some great peril ;) |
| [02:54:33] | just_joe: | i think rm -rf .* will alsohork you? |

| [02:55:32] | just_joe: | ok its running |
| [02:55:45] | majost: | what about my great peril?! |
| [02:56:03] | alsoconfused: | Tanthrix: sorry, i shoudln't be so harsh |
| [02:56:19] | just_joe: | SWEET! my schedule is back |
| [02:56:40] | TUplink1: | what did you do |
| [02:56:43] | Tanthrix: | alsoconfused: No, you really shouldn't. I understand the reasons behind user permissions as they are, and for many things it's a good idea (ie, multiuser systems, systems directly on the internet, etc..) |
| [02:57:01] | just_joe: | i didnt do anything except what we discussed |
| [02:57:07] | TUplink1: | hehe |
| [02:57:12] | majost: | myth is inherietly insecure. |
| [02:57:12] | alsoconfused: | just out of curiosity, do an ifconfig -a and see if your box got a new ip address without your noticing |
| [02:57:13] | just_joe: | so what happened? |
| [02:57:14] | TUplink1: | it was the IP address thing |
| [02:57:19] | Hoey (Hoey!i=Hoey@c-71-231-109-89.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [02:57:33] | Hoey: | hello |
| [02:57:35] | just_joe: | no same ips |
| [02:57:41] | majost: | thats my two cents anyway |
| [02:57:46] | TUplink1: | in myth setup? |
| [02:57:50] | Tanthrix: | But people speak like if you run as root on a system at the bottom of a locked cellar with a sign out front that says "Beware of the leapord" your computer will explode into a firery ball of death |
| [02:58:07] | Tanthrix: | Even if you are reasonbly experieced, careful, and the machine is not on the internet |
| [02:58:08] | alsoconfused: | i don't remember mentioning any leopards |
| [02:58:09] | hads: | This conversation doesn't belong here. |
| [02:58:14] | just_joe: | we changed in mythsetup then both to be loopback but my ether is still the same |
| [02:58:16] | Hoey: | using a digital cable box via comcast, is it possible to use 2 tv capture cards record 2 separate channels? or because i'm using a cable box i'm limited to one channel no matter what? |
| [02:58:19] | alsoconfused: | right |
| [02:58:35] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Yes, but you need one box for each channel. |
| [02:58:54] | just_joe: | i have no idea how that happend, that sucks i lost a few weeks of house and scrubs :( |
| [02:58:54] | majost: | Hoey: Your STB capabilties are unchanged |
| [02:59:21] | majost: | If your STB has dual tuners, it *may* be possibe |
| [02:59:28] | Tanthrix: | But highly unlikely. |
| [02:59:31] | majost: | s/possibe/possible |
| [02:59:34] | majost: | yeah |
| [02:59:48] | Hoey: | it's an older model stb, i dont think it has dual tuners |
| [03:00:17] | Hoey: | it's a motorola dct2224/1661/acdeg |
| [03:00:26] | majost: | Tanthrix: are you using ny DVB cards? |
| [03:00:34] | TUplink1 (TUplink1!n=mythtv@c-24-126-34-203.hsd1.wv.comcast.net) has left #mythtv-users () | |
| [03:00:39] | just_joe: | i really appreciate the help thanks everyone |
| [03:00:51] | Hoey: | how do i tell if it's dual tuner or not? if there are 2 coax that say "cabin in" ? |
| [03:00:58] | just_joe: | and my tuner is recording already |
| [03:00:59] | Tanthrix: | majost: My setup is firewire, QAM, and an PVR-150 |
| [03:01:03] | alsoconfused: | you're welcome joe |
| [03:01:14] | majost: | ah |
| [03:01:42] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: I've never heard of anyone getting dual tuners to work on a cable box with firewire out, so I'd forget it. And if you're doing the analog route, it's flat out impossible. |
| [03:01:45] | just_joe: | so what is the easiest way to archive video off of mythtv, nfs to another location or just keep adding disks? |
| [03:02:02] | majost: | I feel as if I may be one of very people trying to get DiSEqC switches working |
| [03:02:13] | just_joe: | i didnt mean archive to tape/dvd i meant just long term online storage |
| [03:02:18] | majost: | And I'm not getting very far. heh |
| [03:02:48] | varun_ (varun_!n=varun@cpe-24-27-63-213.austin.res.rr.com) has quit (Connection timed out) | |
| [03:03:08] | Hoey: | the cable box doesn't have firewire out |
| [03:03:14] | majost: | either way you face a challenge just_joe |
| [03:03:25] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Then you can only do one channel via the analog option. |
| [03:03:46] | alsoconfused: | nuvexport is nice once you get the hang of it. It will put meaningful names on the files and snip out the commercials if they have been flagged. no transcoding needed for mpeg2->mpeg2 |
| [03:03:54] | majost: | adding disks you will need to either have the current trunk version of mythtv to support multiple targets |
| [03:03:55] | majost: | or |
| [03:03:57] | just_joe: | well since its lvm i can just keep adding pairs of drives, raid them and then add them in |
| [03:03:59] | majost: | use LVM |
| [03:04:08] | majost: | which I do, and its a pain |
| [03:04:29] | just_joe: | i already added a disk to it once, it wasnt to bad |
| [03:04:32] | majost: | and if you export to another system.. you need to export so the db doesn't get messed up |
| [03:04:55] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: I made a guide to this last night, check it out: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Recording_Digital_Cable |
| [03:04:56] | just_joe: | there isnt a function to move from one server to another like froma master to a slave? |
| [03:05:19] | majost: | don't know.. never tried that |

| [03:05:24] | Hoey: | true or false, using an ir blaster, i can use a pvr 150 to record digital cable channels above 125? |
| [03:05:31] | Hoey: | i found this on another site, so i'm not sure if it's legit.. |
| [03:05:32] | just_joe: | hmm. |
| [03:05:32] | Hoey: | http://www.diy-pvr-dvr-htpc.com/index.php/125 . . . igital_Cable |
| [03:05:56] | majost: | Hoey: provided you have a stb |
| [03:05:58] | majost: | yes |
| [03:06:12] | Hoey: | yes got an stb |
| [03:06:23] | Hoey: | tanthrix thanks im checking that out now |
| [03:06:26] | just_joe: | and there is only one database so i can't have say multiple "libraries" of stuff each with its own db? |
| [03:07:06] | alsoconfused: | just_joe: if you're clever, you can do it |
| [03:07:19] | just_joe: | <-- only clever enough to ask for it :( |
| [03:07:20] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Let me know if it explains things well, or if you feel some parts need clarification |
| [03:07:30] | Hoey: | k |
| [03:07:46] | Hoey: | looks like the question i just asked might be covered in your option #3 |
| [03:07:56] | just_joe: | oh you mean you can setup multiple databases liek i said? not "joe go write that code" |
| [03:11:20] | just_joe: | ok i have another question. |
| [03:11:32] | just_joe: | i cant seem to vnc into my myth box |
| [03:11:52] | Tanthrix: | just_joe: Missing the icons? |
| [03:12:06] | just_joe: | tan: eh? |
| [03:12:18] | Tanthrix: | When you VNC in, is that your problem? |
| [03:12:30] | just_joe: | no it refuses the connection |
| [03:12:39] | Tanthrix: | Oh, ok. Not a myth issue then |
| [03:12:57] | Hoey: | tanthrix so far so good, makes good sense so far |
| [03:13:21] | Hoey: | are you sure that seattle has unencrypted qam? i.e. comcast in seattle? |
| [03:14:45] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: They don't have unencrypted QAM, they have non-5C-ed channels (so firewire works) |
| [03:14:47] | Tanthrix: | Did I say that wrong in there? |
| [03:16:02] | majost: | I think I may have found a bug |
| [03:16:04] | majost: | huh |
| [03:16:12] | majost: | checking it now |
| [03:17:11] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: I did say it right, but I updated it to make it more clear. Refresh the page |
| [03:17:38] | Zambezi (Zambezi!i=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com) has quit ("changing servers") | |
| [03:19:14] | just_joe: | anybody good at vnc? |
| [03:19:25] | Hoey: | so 5C is different than QAM? |
| [03:19:32] | just_joe: | i want to login to 5900 my normal desktop display |
| [03:20:02] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Aye. |
| [03:20:11] | Hoey: | but both are types of encrytion? |
| [03:20:55] | just_joe: | which is display 0 |
| [03:20:56] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Aye, though I'm not completely sure about the details. But essentially, you can have encrypted QAM channels that are not recievable without a set top box but work fine over firewire |
| [03:21:34] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: I think the box might do the 5C encryption, it's highly unlikely channels are encrypted twice. Or the 5C thing might just be a flag that the box follows, who knows. |
| [03:21:57] | Tanthrix: | End result is the same: they're different, with QAM in the clear being rare, and firewire not so much |
| [03:22:04] | just_joe: | woops gotta jet will look at this later thanks all! |
| [03:22:49] | Hoey: | hm |
| [03:23:23] | Hoey: | tanthrix, after we talked yesterday, i did some more research on cards.. |
| [03:23:43] | Hoey: | DVB and ATSC and DVB-C etc... the 2 cards you mentioned on your new guide, those would qualify? |
| [03:23:58] | Tanthrix: | Quality for what exactly? |
| [03:24:00] | Hoey: | and it wasn't clear to me if hauppauage have any cards to qualify for them |
| [03:24:07] | Tanthrix: | Er, qualify |
| [03:24:07] | Hoey: | qualify, not quality |
| [03:24:13] | Hoey: | qualify for able to do digital cable |
| [03:24:23] | Tanthrix: | You're in the US, no? |
| [03:24:37] | Hoey: | yes |
| [03:24:48] | Hoey: | coincidentally, seattle area, like in your guide :P |
| [03:25:05] | Tanthrix: | If I understand things correctly, DVB-* are all stuff for Europe and elsewhere, so you should ignore them |
| [03:25:12] | Hoey: | ah |
| [03:25:22] | Hoey: | and i should ignore ATSC too? |
| [03:25:34] | Tanthrix: | But read my guide carefully – the A180 is a good bet for doing QAM, but also as the guide says, unencrypted QAM channels are very rare, so that method would probably only get you the FTA channels |
| [03:25:46] | hads: | DVB = world – USA |
| [03:25:46] | Tanthrix: | ATSC is for terrestial antennas |
| [03:25:54] | Tanthrix: | hads: Nice way of putting it ;) |
| [03:26:01] | hads: | :) |
| [03:26:23] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: ATSC cards are used to recieve over the air digital (and often HD) channels from an antenna |
| [03:27:01] | Hoey: | ah |
| [03:27:06] | Zambezi (Zambezi!i=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [03:27:06] | frego_ (frego_!n=rjam@71-217-162-98.blng.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [03:27:11] | Hoey: | k, so ignore both dvb-x and atsc cards |
| [03:27:37] | Tanthrix: | Aye. Though, usually cards that do QAM also do ATSC, if not always |
| [03:28:17] | Hoey: | what about the pcHDTV brand? |
| [03:28:22] | Hoey: | i wonder if that should be added to your guide |
| [03:28:34] | Hoey: | though i discovered that on linuxtv.org.. |
| [03:28:35] | Tanthrix: | But, the bottom line, is that the QAM tuner card method is unlikely to work for you. You're likely stuck between doing firewire (which you'll need to pay extra for since you don't have HD) or the analog option |
| [03:28:53] | Hoey: | yeah im leanin towards the analog.. |
| [03:29:06] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: My guide is not meant to be all encompassing. It just says "a QAM card such as the A180 or Kworld..." Both of which are well supported and the cheapest way to do QAM |
| [03:30:04] | Hoey: | well reading the wiki on the a180, sounds like i can't use that for my purposes |
| [03:30:34] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: As my guide says, it is a QAM card, and it will only work if your channels are provided in the clear without encryption. |
| [03:30:47] | Tanthrix: | If they were, it would work great for your purpose. And mine for that matter. |
| [03:31:16] | majost: | I figured out the problem with the DiSEqC switches |
| [03:31:29] | majost: | though it may actually be a undocumented feature |
| [03:31:41] | majost: | It seems that you cannot use the same source for more than one port |
| [03:31:51] | Tanthrix: | majost: Make a wiki page about it if it's useful, or update an existing one. Do your part! ;) |
| [03:32:07] | majost: | I had to make a uniqe source for each port |
| [03:32:14] | majost: | Allready working on it |
| [03:32:15] | majost: | =) |
| [03:32:23] | Tanthrix: | Hehe, good. |
| [03:32:25] | majost: | Its still kinda a bug |
| [03:32:34] | majost: | but I also understand why it works the way it does |
| [03:33:02] | Hoey: | looks like the kworld one might work well |
| [03:33:06] | majost: | Only took me 11 hours to figure out |
| [03:33:13] | majost: | heh |
| [03:33:13] | Hoey: | for my needs... multiple places are saying it will do analog |
| [03:33:34] | Tanthrix: | Hoey: Both the A180/Hworld does have an analog tuner onboard in addition to the QAM one, but it's not the kind you want to have |
| [03:33:40] | Tanthrix: | In fact, I need to update the wiki pages on that |
| [03:33:57] | Tanthrix: | It's the old frame grabber type without an encoder – absolutely to be avoided – PVR cards are the only way to go for analog |
| [03:34:55] | Hoey: | you're talking about hardware encoding right? |
| [03:35:20] | Hoey: | the machine im planning to put it in is a p4 2.8 ghz with 1gb ram |
| [03:35:23] | Tanthrix: | Aye. |
| [03:35:42] | Tanthrix: | You do not want to use a frame grabber card, period. |

| [04:00:16] | alpaca: | I've searched through the wiki, etc but haven't found any solutions though I've easily spent 4–5 hours on this specific issue. |
| [04:02:01] | alpaca: | I have Ubuntu Fiesty and am using this guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feis . . . nd_Desktop_O |
| [04:02:29] | Slyboots (Slyboots!n=Slyboots@82-41-5-2.cable.ubr01.edin.blueyonder.co.uk) has joined #Mythtv-users | |
| [04:03:46] | alpaca: | however when I attempt to run MythTV Backend Setup (under System --> Administration) a dialog box asks if I would like to close all running mythbackend instances |
| [04:05:59] | alpaca: | I select "Yes" then it immediately asks if I would like to run mythfilldatabase. It never allows me to access the MythTV Backend Setup |
| [04:08:31] | alpaca: | If I select cancel, nothing loads therefore if I attempt running MythTV Backend Setup subsequent times, the same dialog boxes appear |
| [04:10:18] | alpaca: | I have uninstalled all MythTV components and reinstalled without success. Since I have a current MySQL server I use sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database to enter my info for the mysql db |
| [04:10:42] | alpaca: | still nothing allows me to proceed leaving me stuck without being able to configure my box |
| [04:11:57] | Anduin: | alpaca: Only a few will know what Ubuntu has done, mythtv-setup, mythbackend, mythfrontend, etc those are common. |
| [04:13:00] | alpaca: | Anduin: any ideas for where I should turn for advice/help? |
| [04:13:16] | alpaca: | I'm tearing my hair out here – all I want to do is use my pvr-350 |
| [04:25:05] | Tanthrix: | alpaca: I don't have any experience with Ubuntu, but it sounds like your problems are that the wizards are obfuscating your problems |
| [04:25:29] | Tanthrix: | alpaca: Forget all the ubuntu menus and such, just open a terminal and run "mythtv-setup" |
| [04:26:36] | alpaca: | Alright I will try that |
| [04:26:53] | alpaca: | I'd be just as happy to install with commandline to be honest |
| [04:27:13] | Tanthrix: | Sometimes the prebuild packages + gui wizards work, but sometimes they fail, and when they do, it can be difficult to discern the problem since you have no idea what they've done |
| [04:27:50] | Tanthrix: | To that end, if you can't make this work using the command line "mythtv-setup for the setup up, mythbackend for the backend, mythfrontend for the frontend) I'd recommend uninstalling all of it then using the myth howto guide for installing from source |
| [04:28:55] | alpaca: | Everything I've ever installed w/linux has been commandline and I figured "hey a gui wizard hurrah this means I can relax and install this" |
| [04:28:58] | alpaca: | wrong... |
| [04:29:12] | Tanthrix: | hehe |
| [04:29:43] | Tanthrix: | MythTV is a very complex suite of programs, so I'm of the opinion it is worth it to do everything manually to get a good understanding of the whole suite |
| [04:30:00] | alpaca: | i have no clue where everything is stored |
| [04:30:11] | alpaca: | it's frustrating ha |
| [04:30:28] | Tanthrix: | Indeed. |
| [04:30:35] | alpaca: | ok i will try that – good advice thanks |
| [04:30:45] | Tanthrix: | No prob. |
| [04:32:50] | alpaca: | just to be sure http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall is the guide that is up to date for manual install? |
| [04:33:09] | Tanthrix: | Hehe, I'm not sure if I'd call it up to date...but it's adequate |
| [04:33:28] | Tanthrix: | Also, I'd recommend that you install from svn-fixes instead of the current release |
| [04:33:29] | alpaca: | ok, it should work sufficiently well to get me running? |
| [04:33:41] | alpaca: | any other suggestions? |
| [04:33:51] | Tanthrix: | http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ second box on that page |
| [04:34:29] | Tanthrix: | Basically it's the current release with fixes. If you want you can do trunk, but that's not as stable (though, it's usually pretty close, and a lot of us run it routinely) |
| [04:35:06] | Tanthrix: | alpaca: Make sure your card works outside of myth before trying to set it up in myth. (IE, get it to a point where it works with mplayer) |
| [04:35:30] | Tanthrix: | alpaca: And also, during the configure script, make sure you're not missing anything that you'll need. (Such as lirc etc..) |

| [04:37:32] | alpaca: | or a standard method |
| [04:37:55] | Tanthrix: | I'm sure you can find something on the wiki (wiki.mythtv.org) or google |
| [04:38:07] | alpaca: | alright thats great – good deal |

| [10:53:33] | gbee: | hads: good point about the MS IR blaster, I'd forgotten about that (even though it has been pointed out to me before in here *sigh*) |
| [10:55:24] | gbee: | they seem to go for £20 inc. postage, which is pretty damn reasonable considering it includes the remote (even though I don't need or want the remote) |
| [10:58:23] | Paladine: | yeah but IR blasters are not as reliable as the SkyControl hardware |
| [10:58:40] | Paladine: | Iwas using an IR blaster before I got it |
| [10:59:38] | gbee: | Paladine: maybe not, but at half the price I'm willing to risk it, at least until someone buys me a SkyControl ;) |
| [11:00:04] | gbee: | plus the ir blaster will work with the NTL box as well (MCE thingy includes two IR blasters) |
| [11:01:03] | gbee: | and it's now too late to change my mind, because I've just bought it |
| [11:01:40] | juski: | heheheh |

| [11:06:10] | Paladine: | juski, you know if anyone has built mythfrontend for ARM architecture before? |
| [11:07:18] | Paladine: | am thinking of building it for my HP iPAQ rx3115 |
| [11:45:20] | subx: | the flooding is getting worse and worse in UK.. |
| [11:45:22] | subx: | http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_u . . . 03/img/1.jpg |
| [11:46:04] | RaYmAn-Bx: | subx: er..is that serious? |
| [11:46:04] | Paladine: | lol |
| [11:46:38] | Paladine: | of courseit isn't lol, would take a major international ecological incident for that to be real |
| [11:46:55] | RaYmAn-Bx: | I kindof figured that, but still =P |
| [11:47:01] | Paladine: | thats about an 80–100 foot rise in water levels |
| [11:47:17] | subx: | it makes u think its real because its coming from the bbc news website |
| [11:47:24] | RaYmAn-Bx: | indeed |
| [11:47:35] | RaYmAn-Bx: | on the other hand, bbc has a lot of weird stuff on their site so |
| [11:47:40] | subx: | aye |
| [11:47:57] | Paladine: | if london was flooded that badly, you would know about it, because no matter where you are in the world, whatever caused it would be causing major problems for you too |
| [11:48:28] | Paladine: | would take an asteroid collision or something similar for that |
| [11:48:36] | RaYmAn-Bx: | =P |
| [11:48:41] | subx: | or a tsunami |
| [11:48:52] | Paladine: | even a tsunami wouldn't be enough to do that |
| [11:49:13] | subx: | it could pump a lot of extra water into the thames then flood the gates |
| [11:49:38] | Paladine: | yes it could, but 80–100 foot? nope |
| [11:50:02] | subx: | not that much no |
| [11:50:14] | Paladine: | for a tsunami to do that it would have to be so big that the buildings would have collapsed from breaking the wave |

| [11:56:09] | Paladine: | my iPAQ has hardware mpeg3 and mpeg4 |
| [11:56:12] | juski: | it builds for ppc alright I think |
| [11:56:14] | Paladine: | so itmight be nice :) |
| [11:56:42] | Paladine: | Ijust installed linux on it the other day it is running as a web server at the moment |
| [11:56:55] | gbee: | Paladine: linux drivers for that? |
| [11:57:49] | Paladine: | gbee I think so, I haven't checked, but I know people are running x11 on arm devices and doing video playback |
| [11:57:57] | Paladine: | soIpresume the drivers are there |
| [11:58:06] | Paladine: | I had x11 running on it just theother day |
| [11:58:12] | juski: | subx: anyway, in manchester the ground is dry as a bone, so it's not all the UK. silly southerners building on flood plains |
| [11:59:01] | gbee: | I struggle to have any sympathy for people who bought homes on flood plains, either knowingly or out of ignorance |
| [12:00:43] | juski: | maybe people don't read their own surveys |
| [12:00:51] | gbee: | some of them might have a case against their solicitors or surveyors if they they weren't told, but then anyone can look at an OS map and see that it's a flood plain |
| [12:01:10] | Paladine: | well it won't be an issue soon |
| [12:01:31] | juski: | when the aliens land? I totally agree |
| [12:01:42] | Paladine: | the government are bringing in legislation which will force construction companies to cover the insurance premiums for any property the build on a flood plane for 20 years |
| [12:02:12] | juski: | way to bring down house prices. pfft |
| [12:02:25] | Paladine: | so either they will stop building on flood planes, or the people who buy the properties will be covered by insurance paid by the construction company |
| [12:02:34] | gbee: | that's just a joke, imho they shouldn't be permitted to build on the flood plains to start with |
| [12:02:47] | Paladine: | well the point is, most of them won't |
| [12:03:06] | Paladine: | the cost of insuring a property for 20 years build on a flood plane is not cheap |
| [12:03:20] | Paladine: | so they will choose not to build on flood planes |
| [12:03:51] | gbee: | they will, in the wake of that legislation the price of land on flood plains will crash and in turn some developers will then buy it up cheap knowing that they can afford the additional cost of the insurance |
| [12:04:15] | gbee: | or at least they will gamble on it being profitable |
| [12:04:17] | Paladine: | it is too big a risk |
| [12:04:19] | juski: | and the govt will reap it all ways – tax on the insurance, stamp duty etc |
| [12:04:26] | Paladine: | land on flood plains is already cheap |
| [12:04:50] | Paladine: | andit only takes one year of flooding to increase the premiums significantly |
| [12:04:58] | Paladine: | imagine if they flood every 3 years |
| [12:05:06] | Paladine: | the gamble is not worth it for the construction companies |
| [12:05:17] | juski: | btw gbee I've asked that UK guy who claims he got the new weather plugin going, to spill the beans |
| [12:05:46] | gbee: | juski: cool |
| [12:05:47] | Paladine: | brb |
| [12:06:33] | gbee: | juski: thinking I might push for a 0.20.2 release this weekend, only problem is that it requires Chutt is on-board |
| [12:07:01] | gbee: | I'm still seeing too many people using 0.20 and I'm hoping a 0.20.2 release might change that |
| [12:13:13] | juski: | wooo! |
| [12:13:39] | juski: | btw anybody know a reason why mythvideo's gallery view could be painstakingly slow to crawl through? |
| [12:14:49] | juski: | I have only 263 videos, not all of them have posters. ones without posters are very quick to access. ones with posters.. Zzzzz |
| [12:15:53] | juski: | the poster storage dir is mounted 'locally' and the cache size setting for the poster images doesn't seem to have much effect |
| [12:15:58] | gbee: | juski: no idea |
| [12:16:10] | gbee: | ask Anduin |
| [12:16:36] | juski: | it's as fast as heck on the backend |
| [12:16:53] | juski: | wonder if there's anything I could tweak in terms of nfs settings |
| [12:17:25] | juski: | to all intents & purposes all the files ARE local, so it's hardly as if it's having to stream anything – not that I even think mythvideo can |

| [13:42:28] | juski: | http://www.pastebin.ca/637032 is my playback log. only happens on BBC recordings :-\ |
| [13:43:17] | juski: | chairman: you might be able to use all kinds of extra buttons but YMMV – depends completely on how the receiver works |
| [13:44:42] | chairman: | juski: I'm jusing the standard hauppauge reciver |
| [13:47:16] | juski: | it depends how the receiver works – it might not decode extra buttons not present on the original remote |

| [16:58:04] | TUplink1: | have you tryed a recompile? |
| [16:58:16] | alpaca: | of... |
| [16:58:22] | alpaca: | mythtv? |
| [16:58:26] | alpaca: | the entire package? |
| [16:58:27] | TUplink1: | i hate Segmentation fault (core dumped) i think they usualy make a *.core file |
| [16:58:30] | TUplink1: | yea |
| [16:58:33] | fryfrog: | 1) you *may* not have the XV stuff for X working/setup... what distro are you using? |
| [16:58:44] | alpaca: | ubuntu fiesty |
| [16:58:54] | TUplink1: | frefrog what is xv? |
| [16:58:54] | fryfrog: | video card? |
| [16:59:02] | alpaca: | it's headless so i'm using x11 w/ssh |
| [16:59:04] | fryfrog: | "Xvideo |
| [16:59:13] | fryfrog: | oh, so this is a BE only box? |
| [16:59:40] | fryfrog: | You might try VNC instead of ssh x11 forwarding, but in theory I think that should work |
| [16:59:52] | alpaca: | i'm vnc'd also |
| [16:59:59] | fryfrog: | I usually use x11vnc to do work on my BE, but i do have a monitor on it anyway |

| [17:01:40] | TUplink1: | i know nothing about using x over ssh..... would be nice to get working |
| [17:01:41] | TUplink1: | :P |
| [17:01:46] | fryfrog: | does mythtv-setup take -v all? |
| [17:01:57] | fryfrog: | i dunno why you are core dumping :/ |
| [17:02:03] | alpaca: | haven't tried what does the -v parameter do? |
| [17:02:08] | laga: | ssh -X -Y <yourhost>; mythfrontend --geometry 800x600 works for me |
| [17:02:13] | fryfrog: | even though it is headless, you *do* still have all the xlib stuff right? |
| [17:02:29] | alpaca: | I initially had it setup as a full desktop/server |
| [17:02:39] | fryfrog: | -v is verbose for mythfrontend and mythbackend, never looked to see if it did anything on mythtv-setup |
| [17:02:43] | alpaca: | then just removed the monitor once i had installed everything proper |
| [17:02:51] | fryfrog: | alpaca: can you just try it locally with a monitor? |
| [17:02:57] | fryfrog: | though... vnc should be the same :/ |
| [17:03:02] | alpaca: | yeah =/ |
| [17:03:05] | fryfrog: | is it x11vnc or is it a seperate vnc server? |
| [17:03:12] | alpaca: | x11vnc |
| [17:03:15] | fryfrog: | or is it the vnc built into feisty's gnome desktop? |
| [17:03:17] | fryfrog: | k |

| [17:03:20] | alpaca: | ha |

| [18:31:19] | TUplink1: | and why not just use mythmusic |
| [18:31:55] | cabajgtr: | because mythmusic interface is awkward, and playlists are way to difficult |

| [18:40:30] | Hugolp: | *last |
| [18:41:08] | cabajgtr: | ok, so there is no way to use unofficial plugins unless you compile all of myth from cvs? |

| [19:22:30] | keith4_: | it's odd that mythweb can sort by category, but can't filter or sort by genre |
