[00:06:29] MaverickTech: did a build this morning, and getting segfault on frontend
[00:06:36] hadees: MaverickTech, nope and you probably shouldn't
[00:06:48] hadees: until the qt4 migration goes further
[00:06:53] MaverickTech: understand that
[00:07:11] MaverickTech: was interested in testing the qt4 ;)
[00:07:51] hadees: ah, well have fun but i'm not sure you are going to get much support, i normally run trunk myself but i think most have backed off for a little while

[00:08:41] jsumners: i'm setting my first mythtv box. i have a pcHDTV 5500 tuner card and i get my reception through OTA digital stations. i'm getting choppy video and audio on the myth box but it is just find if i watch the direct feed. any ideas what i can do to fix this?
[00:08:45] Yahooadam: unless your a tester of some sort
[00:08:57] territory: any easy way to find out why my cron jobs not running
[00:09:12] MaverickTech: ok
[00:09:29] hadees: territory, run it from the command line to make sure the command works
[00:09:33] MaverickTech: anyone know the svn syntax to grab truck as at... x date
[00:09:36] territory: it does
[00:09:52] territory: the command works
[00:10:08] hadees: territory, what exactly are you trying to run?
[00:10:17] territory: run my script to get listings
[00:10:26] Yahooadam: MaverickTech – whats wrong with 0.21?
[00:10:49] MaverickTech: Yahooadam: probably nothing ;)
[00:10:53] GreyFoxx: MaverickTech: you can use -r to specify a revision
[00:10:57] GreyFoxx: svn up -r 16xxx
[00:10:57] hadees: territory, mythfilldatabase doesn't work for you?
[00:11:00] MaverickTech: GreyFoxx: thanks
[00:11:10] GreyFoxx: just check the svn logs and find out the rev before the QT4 merge
[00:11:13] territory: no
[00:11:20] territory: i dont use any of myths grabbers
[00:11:34] hadees: territory, live outside the areas?
[00:11:41] GreyFoxx: I;m moving my production machines to latest trunk this weekend. I've held off a couple weeks but it's time to update :)
[00:11:52] Yahooadam: territory – in your crontab add something like > /var/log/somelog
[00:12:02] territory: 0 1 * * 0 /home/charlie/zap2xml/mythupdate2.sh
[00:12:02] hadees: territory, either way if it works from the command line i would ask in the channel for what ever distro you are using
[00:12:06] territory: is in my crontab
[00:12:14] territory: mythbuntu im using
[00:12:57] hadees: territory, so there is a channel for that =)
[00:12:57] territory: i added > /var/log/somelog after mythupdate2.sh
[00:13:06] Yahooadam: territory – add "> /home/charlie/zap2xml/mythupdate2.log 2>&1"

[00:14:31] hadees: territory, cron problems are likely distro specific

Unlike previous solutions, which relied on an analogue interface cable or adapter box, the iDA-X100’s pure digital USB connection provides fast data transfer, quick command response and superior iPod sound."

[00:47:01] DustyBin: no
[00:47:22] PaulWay: Presumably you're using DVB, odz?
[00:48:12] iamlindoro: Considering he's in the US it's profoundly unlikely :)
[00:48:39] bobgill2: Okay here is my mythbackend.log: http://pastebin.com/m67255056
[00:48:49] simcop2387-tv: iamlindoro, he could have an ultra high gain ultra directional antenna and bounce it off the ionosphere
[00:49:00] iamlindoro: ooooh, neat, get me one ;)
[00:49:06] DustyBin: bobgill2: keep you backend log in the toilet and dont forget to flush it
[00:49:07] bobgill2: Again, everything seems to work, listings are functional.. but Watch TV gives a blank screen for about 10 seconds then returns to the menu :/

[01:00:29] PaulWay: bobgill2: my guess is that it was unable to grab the sound device.
[01:06:31] iamlindoro: That's not it. The backend doesn't use the sound device when it inits a PVR-150, anywa
[01:06:50] iamlindoro: The card is improperly set up or he failed to set up a lineup and bind it to the input, that's all
[01:08:34] iamlindoro: more likely the latter, that he either didn't set up listings or didn't bind them to the input.
[01:08:46] bobgill: I have the listings working proeprly
[01:09:01] iamlindoro: bobgill: What makes you say that?
[01:09:22] bobgill: I did mythfilldatabase and run frontend.. I can see listings in the Guide
[01:10:05] iamlindoro: bobgill: That doesn't mean you have them set up properly
[01:10:20] iamlindoro: You backend log tells you exactly what is wrong, in plain english.
[01:10:45] iamlindoro: starting with "TVRec(3) Error: Problem finding starting channel, setting to default of '3'."
[01:10:47] bobgill: how do I bind video source to card input? I don't know what to do with that (sorry i'm very new to this)
[01:10:59] bobgill: ok yes
[01:10:59] iamlindoro: by reading the documentation, ideally :)
[01:11:00] bobgill: I see that
[01:11:17] bobgill: I have the myth guides open.. I been reading them for a few hours now while I' mtrying to set up
[01:11:23] bobgill: I'm just wondering what I have missed
[01:11:28] iamlindoro: If you do mythtv-setup, all the steps, in order, you can't go wrong
[01:11:48] iamlindoro: Sounds like you skipped step 5 in mythtv-setup, AFAICT
[01:12:31] iamlindoro: er step 4, excuse me
[01:12:41] bobgill: I just did step 4 again
[01:12:42] iamlindoro: which is where you bind a lineup to an input
[01:12:47] bobgill: I have v4l tuner 1 > tv
[01:12:58] bobgill: did a scan, all channels showing
[01:13:01] iamlindoro: bobgill: a PVR-150 isn't a v4l card type
[01:13:10] iamlindoro: You set it up as the wrong card type
[01:13:13] bobgill: ok
[01:13:16] bobgill: sec
[01:13:20] iamlindoro: PVR-150s are MPEG-2 encoder type
[01:15:22] bobgill: ok i set up the card right
[01:15:29] bobgill: mythfilldatabase needs backend running or not ?
[01:15:29] iamlindoro: so you think...
[01:15:38] iamlindoro: mythfilldatabase will run fine either way
[01:15:40] bobgill: well, we'll see hehe hopefully :)
[01:15:44] bobgill: ok one min
[01:17:11] iamlindoro: You don't need to run it every time you run mythtv-setup, you know
[01:17:22] bobgill: haha
[01:17:24] bobgill: it works
[01:17:28] bobgill: yeehaw
[01:17:28] bobgill: !
[01:17:43] bobgill: iamlindoro: ok
[01:19:00] bobgill: how do I run the frontend on my networked comp?

[01:19:23] iamlindoro: install it there, set up mysql.txt properly, and run it
[01:20:04] bobgill: ok gonna give it a shot
[01:20:28] iamlindoro: that's presuming you set mysql properly to allow connections from the rest of the network
[01:20:43] iamlindoro: but that's all in the documentation
[01:20:56] bobgill: yes I am going to set up mysql on this box now
[01:21:19] iamlindoro: frontend boxes only need the sql client, you need the sql server configured properly
[01:21:41] iamlindoro: stop flying blind, you need to *really read* the documentation at mythtv.org, not a blog or howto for your distro
[01:22:12] iamlindoro: you are missing some fundamental understanding of how things work in myth, and that information comes from reading the real honest-to-goodness manual
[01:22:27] Hoxzer (Hoxzer!n=hox@dsl-hkigw7-fe1df900-39.dhcp.inet.fi) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:22:27] bobgill: ok I am going to use mythtv.org
[01:23:00] bobgill: sorry I don't mean to not read it.. I am just too new, many things even reading don't make sense at first, new concepts you know :) I'm trying :)
[01:23:14] hashbang (hashbang!n=nosuch@213-152-35-50.dsl.eclipse.net.uk) has quit ("Client exiting")
[01:23:22] iamlindoro: I appreciate that-- you're never too new to read the manual ;)
[01:23:52] iamlindoro: You will need to do the section here that talks about setting up mysql for multiple systems: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2
[01:24:24] iamlindoro: After that, you can install the frontend on another machine, and as long as your mysql.txt is correct, it should work fine.
[01:26:07] bobgill: ok I am going to get to that. To doublecheck, in the General setup of mythtv-setup, in IP and Master IP, it says to use "real ip" if frontend is different machine (like my setup will be).. so would that be 192.168.1.xx ??
[01:26:52] iamlindoro: correct
[01:27:17] bobgill: ok

[01:33:12] PaulWay: Have you set up a password for root?
[01:33:18] bobgill2: yes
[01:33:32] iamlindoro_: add -p to the command line, that's all
[01:33:39] PaulWay: So mysql -u root -p mythconverg

[01:34:02] bobgill2: and is it ok to do this while mysqld is running?
[01:34:04] bobgill2: or do I stop it first
[01:34:09] iamlindoro_: since he intends to grant privileges to the mythtv user, that will not work
[01:34:16] iamlindoro_: he needs to log in as the mysql root user

[01:45:12] iamlindoro: bobgill: can only be one of two things-- that you failed to edit my.cnf and change the bind-address to a real ip (or failed to restart mysql after) or your mysql.txt is wrong.
[01:47:12] bobgill2: ok I have "bind-address = 192.168.1.100" in /etc/my.cnf

[01:48:39] bobgill2: yes
[01:48:41] bobgill2: oops
[01:48:46] bobgill2: that's to be the IP?

[01:48:52] bobgill2: sec

[01:51:02] iamlindoro: from the frontend
[01:51:35] iamlindoro: if you can successfully log in to the SQL server, then the SQL server is set up properly... if you cannot, then you didn't follow the instructions in the documentation properly
[01:52:02] iamlindoro: anyway, I've got stuff to do so you're on your own from here

I get all kinds of ivtv errors reported in the backend log...
[02:31:04] ajh: thanks, any idea on the IR port on the Nova-S, the arrow keys work and select but none of the others.

[02:31:21] banyan: (Oh, and mythtvsetup has taken up a habit of killing my X server)
[02:31:30] ajh: banyan, I'm seeing all kinds of 0 length files too.
[02:32:21] ajh: anduil, yeah I assume I need to take the frontend down for that.
[02:32:25] banyan: which really cheeses me off because that zero-length file represents time I'm supposed to be wasting by watching TV, not by trying to troubleshoot myth.
[02:32:29] Andui1: banyan: pastebin the ivtv errors
[02:32:38] banyan: ok, stand by...
[02:32:42] Andui1: ajh: Nope
[02:32:47] ajh: banyan, the most annoying thing is the recording screen not saying size.
[02:32:51] ajh: er, length
[02:33:30] banyan: ajb, did you fresh-install myth 0.21 or did you install it on a system formerly running 0.20?
[02:34:02] ajh: It had .20 but the upgrade failed and I had to re-create the database from scratch.
[02:34:40] banyan: crappy... so you had to remember your scheduled stuff, and you'll be in for a world of reruns.
[02:35:29] ajh: still a newish install so that's not that huge a deal, right now I'm trying to figure out how to assign recording group defaults to channels.
[02:35:46] ajh: it's annoying to record things on Comedy and have to manually set it to Comedy :)
[02:37:43] Andui1: ajh: There is no information stored with the channel, default groups are part of the recording rule.
[02:38:26] ajh: anduil, yeah it needs to be there too, but channels should be able to default to them.
[02:38:43] ajh: irw is not playing nicely :(
[02:45:02] ajh: ok, I want to hurt whoever did the lirc init script for ubuntu

[02:49:31] Yahooadam: lol ajh
[02:49:53] ajh: there's no debug info sent anywhere, and they disabled the --logfile option apparently.
[02:50:14] ajh: so it's supposed to be going to syslog, but no indication of which loglevel or how to find it and it's not going to messages by default
[02:52:43] ajh: which kinda makes it hard to tell what's going on.

[02:57:30] darkwizzard: ?
[02:58:18] iamlindoro: it is what will become .22, yes
[02:58:22] ajh: ok, got debug, looks like the kernel module is missing, anyone know which one is needed for the on-card ir receiver on the hauppauge nova-s?
[02:58:38] banyan: http://www.pastebin.ca/966948 — has my backend woes. There is only one type of error that explicitly says ivtv.
[02:59:33] banyan: so, anduil: there for your perusal. I'm actually wondering if I should kill or empty certain tables in my mythconverg and re-setup the lot.
[02:59:48] darkwizzard: it will not let me compile it
[02:59:55] darkwizzard: it gives error 2
[03:00:00] banyan: or is it Andui1 ? anyway, there it is.
[03:00:10] Andui1 is now known as Anduin
[03:00:55] iamlindoro: darkwizzard: trunk now requires all the qt4 stuff. If you can't work through a missing dependency, you are probably going to have trouble with the current state of trunk.
[03:00:56] Anduin: banyan: You should look at dmesg for the same time
[03:01:21] banyan: good idea...
[03:01:26] darkwizzard: iamlindoro i have qt4
[03:02:06] clever: ive got it 'working' but it randomly crashes at certain areas
[03:02:32] iamlindoro: darkwizzard: again, if you can't get through the compile then you probably ought not run it right now-- ask clever if you want a first-hand account

[03:08:57] Eemak: hi friends
[03:09:03] banyan: I should mention that my machine actually froze up a couple of times yesterday too, so this might entirely be an ivtv problem... I'd have very large load average followed by a seize-up.
[03:09:08] Eemak: my friend has a script that pulls listings from tvguide.com
[03:09:10] Eemak: is that legal?
[03:09:32] Anduin: banyan: I'd at a minimum unload the ivtv module and reload, then check again.
[03:09:39] banyan: if their terms of use don't prohibit it, and if he doesn't redistruibute the stuff.
[03:09:52] Eemak: well, it sticks it in myth
[03:10:14] banyan: I did that... with limited to zero success...
[03:10:30] Eemak: banyan: you did what?
[03:10:52] Anduin: banyan: It seems likely you would get the same errors with a cat /dev/video1, I'd try that, then try voodoo or seeing if your ivtv version changed.
[03:11:07] Eemak: banyan: http://www.tvguide.com/services/Copyright.aspx is that all i need to check with
[03:11:30] Anduin: Eemak: At the very least it is impolite, especially when cheap, better, alternatives exist.
[03:11:44] Eemak: not cheaper than free;)
[03:11:57] banyan: I unloaded my ivtv. Not comment on the tvguide thing.
[03:11:57] Anduin: $20/year is very close to free
[03:12:29] banyan: voodoo is ....? a live viewer?
[03:12:47] clever: ive only payed it once
[03:12:52] clever: and that was ages ago:P
[03:12:59] banyan: again, good idea the cat /dev/video1
[03:13:00] clever: and ive still got a month or 2 remaining
[03:13:51] ajh: ok, I woudln't have thought figuring out which module the IR receiver on a Nova-S needs would be such a pain
[03:14:41] Anduin: ajh: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_LIRC_for_MythTV
[03:16:35] ajh: that doesn't mention which kernel module.
[03:16:57] Anduin: Yeah, it looks old, only looked promising the first quick pass
[03:17:15] ajh: I've found that stuff in plenty of places already :)
[03:19:02] Yahooadam: ajh – what card?
[03:19:04] banyan: I got a zero length file out of cat /dev/video1

[03:23:53] banyan: oh, wait a minute, if I have three cards, the video outputs are video0, video4 and video8 are they not?

[03:24:41] ajh: actually, no, only up to 7 :)
[03:24:54] Yahooadam: it might be -1

[03:26:12] banyan: you shouldn't have to create device files, they should be created automatically.
[03:26:17] Anduin: banyan: myth was using /dev/video1
[03:26:47] Yahooadam: i suspect its event7
[03:26:55] Yahooadam: but there is a way to get a list with details
[03:27:10] ajh: tried that, it connected but no output
[03:27:38] banyan: so... video0 and video2 got capture info, but not video1, which I think it seems to prefer using.
[03:27:40] Yahooadam: maybe a bad lircd.conf then
[03:27:56] banyan: I do believe that 1 and 2 are two tuners on a 500.
[03:30:07] Yahooadam: ajh – cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[03:30:32] banyan: yes, video0 (ivtv0) is my pvr350. video1 is my 1st tuner on a 500, which isn't working. video2 is my second tuner on a 500, which is working.
[03:30:38] banyan: that's weird.
[03:30:48] ajh: yrp, 8 it is
[03:30:53] Yahooadam: ajh – there will be a "Name" for your device
[03:31:06] ajh: N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus "
[03:31:09] Yahooadam: and under that it will say handlers i think
[03:31:18] ajh: ah, ok
[03:31:21] ajh: event5 :)
[03:31:38] ajh: yeah, this might make it to the wiki I hope.
[03:31:43] Yahooadam: yeah lol
[03:31:50] Yahooadam: i should have added it to the nova-t 500 docu
[03:31:56] Yahooadam: but i was lazy and pissed
[03:32:09] Yahooadam: also, you should make a udev rule
[03:32:17] ajh: Well I feel better that it wasn't me being dense.
[03:32:19] banyan: Anduin, so I can recreate the problem without involving myth. Must be my ivtv! or my 500 card.
[03:32:37] Yahooadam: because the the event# isnt fixed between reboots
[03:32:46] clever: Yahooadam: enless you use special udev rules

[03:42:02] banyan: For now I think it sounds too coincidental.
[03:42:17] banyan: Could be, but...
[03:42:20] ajh: will it require a reboot?

[04:45:41] ajh: I assume the interface can do linked commands too, like quit, change to 'music', etc?

[04:51:56] ajh: sigh, one last question, is there a filter that'll fix the broadcaster added black bars automatically?
[04:52:37] justinh: not in 0.21
[04:53:07] ajh: coming then? :)
[04:53:16] justinh: yup
[04:53:44] justinh: well, being worked on. no idea whether it'll make it in or not
[04:53:55] ajh: cool. That and more per-channel defaults are my main observations so far, like being able to send everything from a given channel to a specific recording group.
[04:54:10] ajh: I also assume hidden recording groups will come eventually? :_
