[00:00:07] dustybin: i have a _strange_ problem
[00:00:23] dustybin: i delete a recording on mythweb, refresh the page, and the recording comes back
[00:00:26] dustybin: O_o
[00:02:07] iamlindoro: This common problem, like most/all common problems, can be solved by day-one-myth-user troubleshooting tactics like reading the logs
[00:04:02] dustybin: 2009-06–27 01:03:42.189 ERROR when trying to delete file: /GetPlaybackURL/UNABLE/TO/FIND/LOCAL/FILE/ON/wizbox/9261_20090602224600.mpg. File doesn't exist.
[00:04:25] iamlindoro: So there you go
[00:04:31] iamlindoro: fix it
[00:04:45] dustybin: i need the remove orphans script?
[00:05:05] iamlindoro: There are many ways of solving the problem, use what critical thinking faculties you possess
[00:05:16] dustybin: o_O
[00:05:22] dustybin: i could touch the file
[00:05:26] dustybin: so it thinks its deleted it!
[00:05:39] ** dustybin trys **
[00:05:55] iamlindoro: That's the kind of thinking that will give people the impression you've been around longer than five seconds
[00:05:58] iamlindoro: don't sprain anything
[00:08:51] dustybin: jeeze this is tedious
[00:08:58] dustybin: i have too many recordings what will not delete
[00:09:09] dustybin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.find_orphans.pl
[00:09:43] iamlindoro: This is the price you may for having deleted them from the command line
[00:09:47] iamlindoro: er you pay
[00:10:02] iamlindoro: and the find orphans script should be avoided for numerous reasons
[00:10:16] dustybin: i honestly didnt delete anything from the command lne
[00:10:19] dustybin: i would never do that
[00:10:33] iamlindoro: myth disagrees
[00:10:40] dustybin: odd
[00:11:14] dustybin: i tried deleting from the frontend groups > delete group
[00:11:20] dustybin: and also mythweb at the same time
[00:11:25] dustybin: so maybe there was some kind of conflic
[00:11:46] dustybin: im doomed :-(
[00:12:23] dustybin: where is clever when you need him
[00:12:38] iamlindoro: You lost me at "needing clever"
[00:15:15] dustybin: this is a nightmare :-(
[00:19:40] dustybin: i think i have done it via touching
[00:19:45] ** dustybin touches iamlindoro :P **

[01:53:27] amrx: hvr-1800 + timewarner = ATSC/QAM channels (HD Channels) ?
[02:03:05] cesman: amrx: getting anything via QAM is _HIGHLY_ dependent on your location and provider
[02:04:02] cesman: amrx: and if you do get anything odds are, it will only be the broadcast channels (networks, pbs, independents...)
[02:04:08] amrx: If my TV's internal tuner can grab some HD channels, does that mean that my hvr-1800 should be able to get them?
[02:06:49] cesman: I cannot tell you about the capabilities of the hvr-1800
[02:08:30] hachi: when a 'user defined job' on a program is running... is that program 'locked' in some way?
[02:08:57] hachi: I'd like to either prevent deletes, or delay them till the job is done
[02:09:21] hachi: because a delete on the program while it's running will land me with some lost disk space to files that mythtv doesn't know about
[02:10:46] clever: modify the inuse table
[02:10:55] hachi: okay
[02:11:11] hachi: thanks for the input
[02:11:16] clever: inuseprograms
[02:11:48] clever: just start something like transcoding or flagging and then run a select on there
[02:11:57] clever: and remember to clean up after yourself after your done

[02:56:16] gh0st: hello guys, i've botched no less than 12 installs of mythtv, both built and from repos (ubuntu 9.04) and was wondering how do i completely "nuke" all settings and history that it even existed, because no matter how many times i re-install, i can NEVER get access to the mysql server, even when i set no pass. Ive heard of some compat. issues with amarok, so i uninstalled that as well, for my front-end, im just going to use mythbuntu, but
[02:56:16] gh0st: for my back-end, thats not an option. any help would be amazing!!
[02:56:38] ajh: How is the hd-pvr support (model 1212) coming these days? Need that to bring my back-end back up.

[02:57:31] ajh: wow, must be tricky?
[02:57:49] ajh: is trunk generally usable these days?
[02:58:46] ajh: With the Symposium in a couple weeks I do not really have time to make it work yet, probably early August.
[02:58:59] jpabq: ajh: hd-pvr is actually pretty stable. But, required DB changes, so will not be backported. So, if you want to use it, you have to use trunk or wait for the next release.
[02:59:11] wagnerrp: i tried using it the other week

[02:59:30] ajh: I do not mind upgrading if it is somethign that will work at least as reliably as the sasc stuff was while it worked :)
[03:00:36] jpabq: trunk mythbackend is stable. trunk mythfrontend is in flux.
[03:00:40] gh0st: i know nobody really likes dealing with my "noob" question, but if anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated. also, i promise to give back, in the form of a "complete idiot" tutorial, so you no longer need to deal with people like me, sound good? lol
[03:00:48] ajh: will they cross?
[03:01:33] wagnerrp: gh0st: cant help you...
[03:01:35] jpabq: ajh: no
[03:01:43] wagnerrp: ... if you dont ask your question
[03:01:50] ajh: hrm, that kinda sucks means building the macos trunk frontend
[03:02:20] ajh: any hint on a release goal? :)
[03:02:28] ajh: Christmas? :)
[03:04:05] wagnerrp: ah, seems you did ask your question
[03:04:38] wagnerrp: what are you doing to try to access the database?
[03:05:37] gh0st: im trying to access mysql
[03:05:52] gh0st: tmkt is trying to help me out as well :)
[03:06:49] wagnerrp: by default, most linux distros set mysql to only be accessible from the local machine
[03:06:57] wagnerrp: if you are using over the network, you must correct that
[03:07:20] wagnerrp: aside from that, just do the standard mysql permissions grant, and then give mythtv the info

[03:09:38] gh0st: function*
[03:09:51] wagnerrp: do you understand that linux users and mysql users are completely independent?
[03:10:19] gh0st: yes, i understand
[03:10:48] wagnerrp: and you did a 'grant all on mythconverg.* at....'?
[03:10:52] gh0st: ive quadruple-checked that groups/permissions/users were corect
[03:11:00] wagnerrp: what groups?
[03:11:40] gh0st: to make sure the active user is under the mythtv group, also, when you install from repos, it offers to do this
[03:11:48] gh0st: for you*
[03:11:55] kormoc: gh0st, that has nothing to do with the mysql access
[03:12:01] wagnerrp: irrelevant to mysql
[03:12:11] tmkt: username/password for mysql is in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:12:11] wagnerrp: mysql and linux users and groups are completely independent
[03:12:25] wagnerrp: tmkt: absolutely not true
[03:12:45] tmkt: no?
[03:12:47] tmkt: ah
[03:12:47] wagnerrp: the username/password for mysql is in ~/.mythtv/config.xml, unless you specify a different location on the command line
[03:13:04] tmkt: ah on mythbuntu its in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:13:24] wagnerrp: the init scripts for several distros will often specify a different location
[03:13:30] wagnerrp: and you are still wrong
[03:13:49] tmkt: how am I wrong..I'm looking at it right now on mine..thats where it was put by mythbuntu..
[03:13:52] gh0st: okay, i think im starting to get the mysql/linux users thing, okay, however, after un-installing, then re-installing, shouldn't i have access with the root account? this is were its not making sence, and i think garbage is being left-over
[03:14:01] wagnerrp: mysql.txt is the old format
[03:14:14] wagnerrp: 0.21 (0.20.2?) moved it to config.xml
[03:14:24] tmkt: gh0st unix root and mysql root are different
[03:14:25] wagnerrp: mysql.txt is only maintained so old scripts can use it
[03:14:28] tmkt: dunno..all I've used is 0.21

[03:21:36] thedarkone: can mythtv remote frontend use dvds ripped off the master backend
[03:21:44] wagnerrp: because mythtv ONLY stores information in the database
[03:21:51] wagnerrp: you whipe the database, you start fresh
[03:22:44] wagnerrp: in 0.21, if you give the remote frontend file access to the iso or video file, it can play them

[03:25:56] wagnerrp: all you have to do is run 'mythfrontend'
[03:26:04] wagnerrp: and possibly set proper mysql permissions
[03:26:19] wagnerrp: and possibly set up the NFS shares
[03:26:26] thedarkone: okay
[03:28:45] gh0st: good news so far on new install, like i said, there is still crap left over somehow, i dont think its mythtv though, because even after complete removal, default access to mysql for root was passworded, but now myth has the password
[03:28:57] gh0st: now im running mythtv-setup
[03:29:40] wagnerrp: if you dont have root access to mysql, you cannot grant the necessary permissions to make mythtv work
[03:29:56] wagnerrp: unless your distro does all that for you
[03:30:01] gh0st: okay, i now have root access but the user mythtv doesnt
[03:30:36] gh0st: how do i rectify that?
[03:30:37] wagnerrp: did you run that 'grant' command i gave a while back?
[03:30:49] gh0st: ill copy/paste, 1 sec
[03:31:40] gh0st: i typed: grant all on mythconverg.* to 'mythtv'@'localhost' identified by 'mythtv'; with the response of: Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
[03:32:03] wagnerrp: thats fine... now try 'mysql -umythtv -pmythtv'
[03:32:17] kormoc: need to flush
[03:32:49] gh0st: the only thing i get is a prompt
[03:32:58] wagnerrp: when you run that command?
[03:33:08] wagnerrp: meaning it successfully logged into mysql?
[03:33:16] wagnerrp: then youre ready to go
[03:33:24] wagnerrp: just have mythtv use those credentials
[03:33:37] wagnerrp: user=mythtv, pass=mythtv, database=mythconverg, host=localhost
[03:33:46] gh0st: okay, ill fire up myth, and let ya know
[03:33:58] wagnerrp: all of this should be in the documentation by the way
[03:34:09] wagnerrp: at least the manual install documentation
[03:34:23] wagnerrp: pre-build distros may do more or less of this for you automatically
[03:35:59] gh0st: wow, man. im completely taken away. this worked, almost 6 months of struggling, and it works now!
[03:37:00] gh0st: there is no friggin words in english that can explain how grateful i am. Thank you SO much!

[03:51:41] ajh: but I can cat them on the front end machine under my user

[03:56:22] kormoc: that's because you have to run it via open -a mythfrontend.app
[03:56:51] kormoc: or cd into it and find the binary
[03:57:20] wagnerrp: mac programs come as a packaged file system?
[03:57:24] kormoc: yes
[03:57:27] wagnerrp: sounds like of like steam

[03:59:54] ajh: Yep, just what I suspected, the player does not exist :)
[03:59:58] kormoc: that said open -a mythfrontend.app — -v boobies should work

[12:45:36] cityLights1: most channels did come up using the scan
[12:47:04] cityLights1: I used the scan resaults, and tv-time to establish that channel A that was scaned in mythtv
[12:47:32] cityLights1: and the frequency B that is showen in tv-time are related:
[12:47:42] cityLights1: A-43 =B
[12:48:32] cityLights1: but that is in integers, tvtime gave me a reading of 62.5 while mythtv only allows 19 or 20

[14:05:28] sphery: cityLights1: if you type in a number for freqid that's < 10000 (after finetune is added to the freqid), then you're specifying a channel /number/ for freqid and its frequency is determined from the specified frequency table (i.e. Europe West or whatever). If you specify a value > 10000, you're specifying a frequency in kHz.
[14:05:49] cityLights1: hi sphery
[14:05:52] olesalscheider (olesalscheider!n=desktop@xdsl-78-34-218-106.netcologne.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:07:22] cityLights1: so I should plugin 62500 to get 62.5Mhz
[14:07:28] cityLights1: ok I can try that
[14:07:52] cityLights1: still I setup mythtv for try all not western europe
[14:12:10] sphery: you still have to have specified a frequency table otherwise it cannot use channel numbers (because there's no way to look up frequency)
[14:12:16] cityLights1: HOLLY SHIT!
[14:12:19] cityLights1: it works!
[14:12:59] cityLights1: why do I need channel numbers?
[14:13:47] cityLights1: I manually matched each chanell withthe call sign to pull in the program list for that channel
[14:13:48] sphery: if the value you said was in there was truly a small integer value, it was a channel number
[14:14:03] sphery: where are you?
[14:14:11] cityLights1: I am in Israel :-)
[14:14:17] cityLights1: where are you?

[14:14:43] cityLights1: and you are awake now???
[14:14:45] sphery: just wondering what's the appropriate analog freq table for you--I'd guess it has the channel you need.

[14:15:10] cityLights1: well I am un western europe freq list
[14:15:11] sphery: I'm East coast, so it's already 10:15
[14:15:42] cityLights1: ok, pls help me out
[14:15:54] cityLights1: I created a new db
[14:16:12] sphery: is it cable?
[14:16:19] cityLights1: choose try-all , scanned and got channels with three digits like 437
[14:16:26] cityLights1: yes it is cable
[14:16:37] sphery: Israel has cable (HOT) and air analog channels. Cable consists of three companies that have recently joined to form HOT – matav, tevel, and Golden Channels. This is the frequency table used in Matav. (Added by Max Timchenko [www.maxvt.net], 04/04/2007)
[14:16:45] sphery: for freq table israel_hot_matav
[14:16:46] cityLights1: tv-time picked up all channels – while mythtv missed a few
[14:17:14] sphery: there is none at 62.5MHz, but there's channel 46 at 648250kHz.
[14:17:25] cityLights1: right, but here we dont get MATAV
[14:17:29] sphery: Don't know if it's just an incomplete frequency table (i.e. if they've added more channels above that)
[14:18:13] cityLights1: I can create a freq list for my reagen of IL
[14:18:25] cityLights1: (did I spell reagon right?)
[14:18:35] cityLights1: ri-jo-n
[14:19:02] sphery: try all just does a check at ever MHz value from 44MHz to 957MHz. It is actually a "frequency table", but it relies heavily on the hardware finetune mechanism's being able to actually adjust for the offset from the MHz.
[14:19:09] cityLights1: any way – why did myth pick up all the other channels and named them with three digits?
[14:19:16] sphery: region :)
[14:19:32] sphery: Do you have a reference to your region's frequency allocation?
[14:19:33] cityLights1: thanks
[14:19:46] sphery: if so, I could easily do up a patch for it and we could get it into Myth
[14:19:57] cityLights1: pal-bg according to the technition :)
[14:20:03] sphery: (or could show you how. basically, the same as http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/13251 )
[14:20:20] cityLights1: ok

[14:20:47] sphery: pal-bg is the transmission standard--for example, the US uses NTSC-M, but we have frequency tables for over-the-air, cable (standard), cable HRC, and cable IRC
[14:20:54] daum: hey guys – i'm trying to play back a recording however it doesn't seem to have sound, any ideas?
[14:20:59] cityLights1: right – this was a joke
[14:20:59] sphery: they may have a frequency table we don't

[14:21:37] sphery: we need people to report when their frequency tables don't exist (rather than just specifying kHz frequencies for every channel) so we can add the tables to Myth for the next person :)
[14:21:45] cityLights1: oh, I see – so you suggest I look up the frequency in my tv, and post them?
[14:22:08] cityLights1: ok, I can do that
[14:22:10] sphery: best bet is to find a published reference--and add a link to a comment so people can adjust it

[14:22:29] cityLights1: I need to check this-out
[14:22:38] sphery: but if you can find it some other way, it's better than nothing
[14:22:43] cityLights1: sphery: can I ask another?
[14:22:57] sphery: sure
[14:23:27] cityLights1: well, I got a second pc with a frame grabber
[14:23:46] cityLights1: I bet a better picture there and wanted to use it as a second backend
[14:24:19] cityLights1: I pointed it to the first pc's mysql and ran a channel scan
[14:24:58] sphery: you only need to do a channel scan for each separate video source
[14:25:00] cityLights1: got some hits, but I just can't use this backend from the second pc , no from the first
[14:25:20] sphery: so if you have the same video source on the first (i.e. using the same channels), just specify the same video source you used on the master
[14:25:44] cityLights1: lets assume I use TWO video sources
[14:26:10] cityLights1: I get empty channels at the prgoram guide and I cant tune to them from the frontend
[14:26:32] sphery: empty channels meaning no guide data?
[14:26:41] sphery: if so, you need to fix xmltvid's/your grabber
[14:27:19] cityLights1: I am more concerned with not being able to "see" these channels
[14:27:34] cityLights1: I am less worried about their epg data now
[14:28:05] cityLights1: I tried running mythfilldatabase --file 2 xmlfile
[14:28:10] cityLights1: for the epg data
[14:28:37] sphery: well, it could be any number of things, but the epg data is a great way to rule some of them out
[14:28:37] cityLights1: when I tested the card as a stand alone on that pc, it worked well
[14:28:45] cityLights1: o
[14:28:47] cityLights1: I see
[14:28:49] sphery: basically, my guess is that you have ghost channels/garbage in your db
[14:29:03] sphery: best way to clean it out is to start fresh: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[14:29:06] cityLights1: ok, so I should delete the second source and choose the first?
[14:29:20] sphery: if the sources are identical, yes
[14:29:30] sphery: but really, you may need to delete all to clean up the garbage
[14:29:37] cityLights1: so I wouldnt need to clean nothing up – right?
[14:29:54] sphery: identical sources means exact same list of channels operating on the same freqid's and tuned the same way
[14:30:06] cityLights1: right
[14:30:15] sphery: you can try just deleting the one, but it's not guaranteed to work
[14:30:33] cityLights1: I am sure it is fine as I killed the db when I downgraded from trunk to 0.21fixes
[14:30:57] cityLights1: and imported an .sql file with the freq list
[14:31:18] sphery: basically, if you mess up the way capture cards/video sources/input connections are set up, it may not be able to clean up the wrong data. They generally get messed up when doing multiple scans/adding new stuff that's not right.
[14:32:12] cityLights1: is there a way to dump the second frequency list to file?
[14:33:17] sphery: whatever approaches mysql provides
[14:33:17] cityLights1: I am booting the sec pc now, to test using a single "video soure"
[14:33:19] sphery: none in myth
[14:33:22] cityLights1: source

[15:05:47] sphery: cityLights1: looks suspect--you didn't set up the MythTV database on the remote backend, did you? I.e. the remote backend should /not/ be connecting to MySQL server on localhost. See http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html and http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.3 and when you fix it, run mythtv-setup --prompt (to get it to ask you language/database settings again)

[15:38:50] sphery: you have a valid $HOME/.mythtv/{mysql.txt,config.xml} for the user running mythtv-setup, but not the user running the backend
[15:39:01] sphery: guess --prompt only works with the frontend
[15:39:40] sphery: the whole point of --prompt was to get it to ask you for those details for the other user (which isn't set up right) so it could be fixed

[19:26:31] psm321: somewhat offtopic, but since it's about my myth db and i figure people here might know, is there any additional efficiency gain from doing an optimize table instead of backup-delete-reimport?
[19:36:55] cityLights1: hi, is anyhere using a sophisticated audio setup?
[19:37:15] sphery: optimize table won't do too much for myth tables (just because of how they're used), but running optimize_mythdb.pl will do optimize, analyze, and repair on your tables
[19:37:20] cityLights1: like two sound system connected to the same frontend?
[19:37:37] sphery: the backup-drop-restore doesn't really gain much for Myth, either
[19:38:19] sphery: the most important thing to do for your DB is make sure you run mythbackend (it takes care of getting rid of old data, which is the biggest efficiency gain)
[19:40:57] cityLights1: I mean the ability to swith between two sound cards as an output
[19:42:59] Dagmar: Knobs have their uses

[19:50:38] cornell: Hi.. Trying to install myth (linhes) and I'm having trouble with channels. My first attempt, in Input Connections, I did a scan, using frequency table "cable". I ended up with listings that showed networks that didn't correspond to what was actually being tuned. I was advised not to scan, but just to fetch listings. I reinstalled and didn't scan, just fetched. Now, I have no channels at all.
[19:51:41] cornell: I'm having no luck figuring/finding out if I should scan, fetch or both. Or if it's some other parameter of the scan page that's screwing me up.
[19:52:00] cornell: I'm in the US, using Comcast Digital cable.
[19:52:06] cornell: Any ideas?

[19:58:58] cornell: which indicates scan, then fetch. There's also mention of "xmltvid", checking it or modifying it. Is that a file?
[19:59:46] psm321: cornell: i'm assuming youre trying to do clear QAM
[20:00:18] cornell: Right
[20:00:28] stoth_: hmm, what's the easiest way to remove a dir from a storage group?
[20:01:08] psm321: stoth_: i think it was the D key
[20:01:14] psm321: i remember it being non-obvious
[20:01:17] psm321: either D or delete
[20:01:23] psm321: while its selected in the listing
[20:01:25] stoth_: yeah, sorry – reading the wiki now. thx
[20:01:38] sphery: D
[20:01:53] sphery: cornell: yeah, for digital TV (all except firewire), you scan
[20:01:55] psm321: cornell: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Comcast_Users_And_scte65scan
[20:02:14] sphery: cornell: after scan, you edit the channel using the mythtv-setup or mythweb channel editor and fill in the xmltvid column for each channel
[20:02:17] sphery: then run mythfilldatabase
[20:02:38] psm321: scte65scan will take care of it for you if youre in an area where comcast has started deploying DTAs
[20:02:47] sphery: and if you have scte channels, the myth channel scanner doesn't support them, so you'll have to use that program
[20:02:48] psm321: though, that won't get you the HD clear channels
[20:03:08] psm321: i havent quite worked out how to combine the 2 yet :)

[20:04:53] cornell: Ah... xmltvid is a column... ok, and I'd get that information from the scte 65 scan, right?
[20:05:14] psm321: cornell: you can't easily combine the results of a mythtv channel scan and scte65scan
[20:05:20] psm321: the freq tables are different
[20:05:24] cornell: Oh.
[20:05:34] psm321: scte65scan will give you sql to feed into the db
[20:05:44] psm321: once youve figured out your vct_id
[20:05:50] cornell: Ok, so I start with a scan. Full scan of existing transports, right?
[20:06:11] ** cornell does not remember it being this difficult with previous versions. **
[20:06:43] psm321: and then, sphery please correct me if i'm wrong here, but i'm guessing the way to combine scte65 channels with other channels not in that list is to also do a mythtv channel scan afterwards and keep what you want and delete the dupes? (this is just a theory, dont take my word for it)
[20:06:59] psm321: cornell: were you using digital previously?
[20:07:02] psm321: on comcast?
[20:07:45] psm321: you can do a normal mythtv scan but your symptoms there are going to be getting just things liek 77#4 for your channel numbers and manually having to figure out the xmltv id
[20:09:46] cornell: I don't recall doing that. I know I had the 77#4, actually I had 77_4. but I don't remember having to figure out xmltv id's
[20:10:17] psm321: sphery: example numbers for what i said earlier: my mythfilldatabase time for a complete fill went down to 16 minutes from 25 after a purge just now, and a reschedule from ~120 sec to 80. and yes, i delete from program; every time (whether i'm doing a full purge cucle or not)
[20:10:22] ajh: anyone here using HD-PVR now?
[20:10:36] psm321: cornell: did you get a lot of channels though? you were probably just getting copies of OTA and cspan before
[20:10:57] cornell: I kinda had digital, I didn't pay for it, but they sent out the clear channels on the net along with analogs. I was paying for analog, and hence was on the net, so I got the clear digital too.
[20:11:18] cornell: ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, A couple of locals
[20:11:23] psm321: yeah
[20:11:31] psm321: so now youre going to get basically the full basic lineup
[20:11:37] psm321: i bet if you let a full scan go trhough
[20:11:40] psm321: from myth
[20:11:40] cornell: I hope ;-)
[20:11:47] psm321: you will styill see the locals in 4_1 format
[20:11:55] psm321: but the non-locals wont have it
[20:12:03] sphery: no idea how to combine them... I haven't seen the output of scte68scan
[20:12:10] psm321: and thats why you need the manual xmltvid's or scte65scan
[20:12:25] cornell: But first I scan. Full scan of existing transports, right?
[20:12:33] psm321: um not sure
[20:12:42] cornell: bbiab
[20:13:15] sphery: psm321: well, generally, it shouldn't make a difference... When mfdb runs, it deletes all programs from the program table for the day for which it's running, so if you did a refresh all, it would be about equivalent to purging--with the exception of the 7 days before today (myth holds old listings for a week so you can find out why the show you though was going to air wasn't recorded)
[20:14:36] sphery: according to someone whose mysql (and myth) knowledge I very much trust, the optimize isn't too important for myth
[20:14:55] sphery: but if you see a huge difference after a backup/drop/restore, I'd guess there's some other effect involved
[20:15:25] sphery: kormoc being the guy who explained what optimize does and why it's not very important for myth

[22:20:48] Uplink_: hi
[22:22:41] Uplink_: Can anyone help me with some info about the MHEG implementation in MythTV regarding BBC's multiscreen sports option?
[22:23:12] gbee: try the question
[22:24:07] Uplink_: using google, I found that someone named juski said, in 2007, "hell, even the BBCi multiscreen thingy works :)" — exact quote
[22:24:08] gbee: multiscreen video is a cheat, it just tunes to another channel which has the 4 (or whatever) videos composited into a grid
[22:24:33] gbee: Uplink_: well it does, at least the BBC news multiscreen which is the only one they had at the time
[22:24:50] Uplink_: well, right now I get a "please wait message"
[22:24:55] Uplink_: and that's where it ends
[22:25:04] Uplink_: I don't even get the "cheat" stream :)
[22:25:16] Uplink_: and since that IRC log is from 2007, it makes me wonder :)
[22:26:17] Uplink_: I've seen the "cheat" stream when scanning raw sat, so I know what it looks like
[22:26:44] Uplink_: what I need to know is: can I get it from the MHEG screen that the BBC puts up? :)
[22:27:25] Uplink_: I've also seen mailing list posts about the multiscreen crashing the frontend (180 degrees turn from the 2007 claim)
[22:27:32] gbee: can't really comment, not going to check it tonight but most of the MHEG work was done against Freeview and I've not personally even tried it with Freesat
[22:27:58] Uplink_: alright... I can get a freeview wire to my machine in a few mins ;)
[22:27:59] gbee: Uplink_: never seen a bug report for that, so I wouldn't trust the claim that it causes a crash
[22:29:14] Uplink_: it was an e-mail from when 0.21 was almost released :)
[22:30:25] Uplink_: I can't give you a link to it, since I've bent my browser history into a pretzel trying to find some info on this multiscreen thing
[22:33:22] Uplink_: I'm currently using VDR, and thought I shoud try MythTV today, just for kicks, and so far VDR is going to the bin, fast. This multiscreen thing would almost seal the deal.
[22:33:59] gbee: wouldn't make much difference, something that old isn't much use, multiscreen seems broken with trunk which is interesting – shows how little people actually use MHEG

[22:34:50] Uplink_: they don't use MythTV for it, but that's a different story

[22:35:03] Uplink_: well, the guys I work with use it :)

[22:35:43] Uplink_: they like it how Sky, Freesat and Freeview do it
[22:36:24] gbee: most people I know would sooner use the internet for retrieving info/news, the side channels get occasional use but those don't really count as MHEG, MHEG is just the tool to change the channel ;)
[22:36:57] sphery: wagnerrp: I know that when we update programinfo, we have to update NUMPROGITEMS for myth, mythweb, perl bindings, and python bindings, so I'd assume there's python code to parse a programinfo stringlist into some sort of program
[22:37:01] Uplink_: the Brits are weird, otherwise I wouldn't look into this :)
[22:38:12] Uplink_: gbee: if they can see 6 sporting events at the same time, and switch between them, they'll want that functionality, and moan if they can't have it
[22:38:27] wagnerrp: sphery: looking...
[22:38:52] gbee: heh, not that much into sport myself, and certainly not to the extent that I'll watch 6 events concurrently
[22:39:07] Uplink_: you don't live in the UK then :)
[22:39:20] Uplink_: that's all they do around here :D
[22:39:40] mzb: sphery: iirc it's all done with tuples and lists ... or have I missed something?
[22:39:40] gbee: could be they've annexed where I live recently, I've been too busy to notice
[22:39:58] sphery: mzb: I know nothing of python, so I'm sure I'm the one missing stuff...
[22:40:10] sphery: wagnerrp: PROGRAM_FIELDS = 46 in ---if not self.master_host:
[22:40:15] mzb: I think that's how it's done: a list of tuples
[22:40:17] sphery: "bindings/python/MythTV/MythTV.py
[22:40:21] wagnerrp: sphery: no... more that the python bindings is the one missing stuff
[22:40:22] sphery: oops bad paste
[22:40:25] mzb: (it's been a few months;)
[22:40:39] sphery: so, PROGRAM_FIELDS = 46 is what we change when we update programinfo
[22:40:42] gbee: I'll have to check Freesat's sport multiscreen tomorrow, but unless the problem is simple I wouldn't hope for a quick fix, the MHEG experts have been MIA lately
[22:41:24] wagnerrp: yeah, seems any mention of a 'Program object' in the python bindings just means 'title (recording start)'
[22:41:25] mzb: ie: if you're stripping separators then you're probably not doing it right ;)
[22:41:37] wagnerrp: it only exists for current and upcoming recordings
[22:41:43] sphery: wagnerrp: there's a class Program, and it seems its, er, constructor (?) parses the 46 fields from data
[22:41:52] Uplink_: gbee: your problem is Virgin Media then :)
[22:42:13] wagnerrp: so im back to the module being poorly self documented, and having hidden features
[22:42:15] gbee: VM's a problem now?
[22:42:39] sphery: wagnerrp: so, I'd assumd you could do some kind of: data = split('[]:[]', @programinfofrombackend)
[22:42:44] sphery: but in python, of course :)
[22:43:18] Uplink_: gbee: a colleague of mine says everyone at his house moans at him that his VM doesn't have the interactive part :) they use it on Freeview all the time :)
[22:43:26] Uplink_: anyway, I got a freeview wire pulled over
[22:43:30] mzb: have a look at my mythtv.py in the plugins dir of that archive
[22:43:31] gbee: glad to see the back of Sky, between VM, Freesat and Freeview I get all I want ... honestly I could like without VM too, but the TV package comes free with the phone
[22:43:34] Uplink_: let's see if this baby can do it
[22:43:43] broseidon (broseidon!n=mike@70.230.158.119) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:44:04] gbee: VM has MHEG and BBCi etc, but whether the sports component compares I can't say
[22:44:36] gbee: VM's news multiscreen is actually better than Freeviews
[22:45:16] broseidon: how do i enter samba or nfs addresses into mythtv storage directories?
[22:46:10] wagnerrp: you dont enter the samba or nfs addresses into storage directories
[22:46:12] sphery: broseidon: you have to mount them on the local filesystem, then enter them as if they were local dirs
[22:46:23] wagnerrp: you mount the file system, and then give the mount location to the storage directory
[22:46:36] sphery: no UNC names or anything ugly like that
[22:46:51] broseidon: i am having trouble getting them mounted also
[22:46:59] wagnerrp: note that you should not be storing to the root mount either
[22:47:23] wagnerrp: if the storage share is not mounted, you want mythtv to fail, rather than store large amounts of files to the parent file system
[22:48:30] broseidon: wagnerrp: this is so i can play the files on a myth box hooked up to my tv
[22:48:50] wagnerrp: recordings, you dont have to do anything
[22:48:55] MaverickTech (MaverickTech!n=Maverick@85.64.223.77.dynamic.barak-online.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:48:57] wagnerrp: mythtv will pull them through the backend
[22:49:19] wagnerrp: videos, music, pictures, do need to be mounted locally (in 0.21)
[22:50:47] Uplink_: gbee: I'm only interested in what MythTV can process right now
[22:51:08] broseidon: "The file for this recording cannot be found"
[22:51:27] mzb: "stream recordings from backend"
[22:51:39] broseidon: i can play it fine on the frontend on this computer(which is where the master backend is)
[22:51:41] mzb: is a setting in TV=> Playback (?)
[22:51:58] broseidon: ill look

[22:59:49] broseidon: mzb: i set the stream recordings from backend option and it still gives me the error
[23:02:01] sphery: wagnerrp: I should probably mention, too, that even if there's a Program class, you may have to extend the bindings to create a Recording class. The recording contains some fields that aren't passed in the programinfo--things like hostname and basename. The Recording.pm file shows how the perl bindings do it, but basically, they do DB queries to get the extra info.

[23:06:24] Uplink_: just tested with BBC TWO (Glastonbury coverage) and it's amazing
[23:06:51] wagnerrp: sphery: no, it seems to have everything
[23:08:18] wagnerrp: it just currently has no way of outputting back into the myth data string
[23:08:47] sphery: ah, so just need a to_string or toString or to_String?
[23:08:54] sphery: it has basename, though?
[23:09:01] sphery: I don't see it in there--perhaps it's just in trunk
[23:09:06] wagnerrp: filename
[23:09:33] sphery: cool
[23:10:05] sphery: filename, though, would contain the file host, port, and basename if not local
[23:10:26] sphery: so, myth://masterbackend:6544/path/to/storage/group/filename.mpg
[23:10:45] sphery: so, perhaps you just need the QUERY_RECORDING, get a Program, and use the filename :)
[23:11:28] wagnerrp: i would still have to grab a list of storage groups, and then loop through them to find the one with the file
[23:11:34] wagnerrp: (although im currently doing that already)
[23:11:42] sphery: the filename should have the full path in it
[23:11:55] sphery: if non-local, with myth://hostname:port
[23:12:01] sphery: if local, just full pathname
[23:12:12] wagnerrp: nope, just the basename
[23:13:16] sphery: ok, guess you're right
[23:13:30] wagnerrp: at least on trunk coming out of QUERY_RECORDING
[23:13:38] sphery: yeah, I get that, too
[23:13:47] sphery: but the perl bindings have code to parse the Myth URI
[23:13:58] wagnerrp: im going to go ahead and add a couple extra functions
[23:13:59] sphery: guess from some places, it comes with all
[23:14:12] wagnerrp: i assume any time you have to use 'backendCommand' just means the bindings are incomplete
[23:14:25] tank-man (tank-man!i=1000@174.6.38.217) has quit ("Gameover")
[23:14:42] sphery: basically, if it's likely that others will also need that command, it makes sense to make access to it easier
[23:15:29] sphery: if nothing else, you should be able to run the backendCommand and put its response into something (i.e. use to create a new object, pass to a function to parse data and return some object or ...)
[23:15:50] sphery: manually parsing in the script means there's definitely missing functionality :)
[23:16:24] wagnerrp: and when i dump a program object to a string, its just all 46 items with a '[]:[]' betwen them?
[23:17:01] sphery: (like, really, in the perl bindings, there didn't seem to be anything to parse the results of QUERY_CHECKFILE, so knowing that it should be 1[]:[]/path/to/recording (where 1 is the number of rows returned), I just got the last element after tokenizing
[23:17:13] sphery: so that would be better in the bindings, probably)
[23:17:43] sphery: the string you need to pass to the backend for queries should be the programinfo in a []:[] separated list
[23:18:20] sphery: if multiple programinfo's, just []:[] the different ones together (i.e. no separator between programs in a list--it's parsed by number of programinfo items)
[23:18:32] sphery: no /special/ separator
[23:19:32] wagnerrp: well lets code this up and see what errors i end up with next, thanks
[23:19:49] sphery: good luck
[23:20:07] sphery: hope my "help" didn't send you on too many wild-goose chases :)

[23:21:30] zwabel_: Hi, I'm using DVB-S in Germany on Astra, and my mythtv has completely stopped receiving epg information, anyone has an idea how to debug this?
[23:22:31] sphery: zwabel_: EIT or XMLTV?
[23:22:48] zwabel_: sphery: EIT
[23:23:17] sphery: mythbackend -v important,general,eit
[23:23:22] sphery: good start
[23:23:31] zwabel_: ok thanks will try and see what it tells
[23:24:11] sphery: also, make sure you have a current version of 0.21-fixes
[23:24:28] sphery: might have been some updates
[23:24:29] zwabel_: hmm
[23:24:39] zwabel_: ok so this output is suspicious enough I thkn:

[23:51:39] broseidon: my frontend on another computer will not stream recordings from the master backend
[23:52:05] wagnerrp: if it can connect to the backend, it can stream recordings
[23:52:46] broseidon: are you supposed to connect a 2nd myth box to its own sql database?
[23:53:22] wagnerrp: if it had its own sql database, it would not be able to access the information that the backend wrote to its own database
[23:53:23] Dagmar: Everything uses ONE database
[23:53:26] Dagmar: one moment
[23:53:39] broseidon: ok well i keep getting the "cannot find recorded file" error
[23:54:00] Dagmar: Oi. Read this http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Executive_Overview
[23:54:01] broseidon: the file is playable on the mythbox that has the master backend
[23:54:05] Dagmar: Then you'll know how the pieces fit
[23:54:35] Dagmar: You probably need to mount the filesystem where the recordings live on the frontend
[23:54:54] broseidon: i have samba shares setup but have been unable to mount them
[23:55:16] Dagmar: You should probably be using NFS anyway
[23:55:36] broseidon: i couldnt get that to work either...
[23:56:15] Dagmar: Well, with respect to MythVideo, all files are assumed to be local
[23:56:24] Dagmar: With the backends, the files are assumed to be local to the backend
[23:56:26] wagnerrp: for the time being
[23:56:45] broseidon: dagmar: what is the best way to tell it to redirect and stream straight from the backend
[23:56:52] broseidon: i checked the box that is in one of the setup menus
[23:56:59] wagnerrp: however any frontend should be able to fall back to passing the stream over mythproto
[23:57:05] wagnerrp: or only use that if you check the box
[23:57:16] Dagmar: I started to recut parts of the ExecOver page to express that the filestores should be thought of as independent as well, and only exist on the same machine as the master backend as a matter of happy circumstance
[23:58:14] wagnerrp: if you cannot stream over mythproto, you need to start looking in your frontend and backend logs
[23:59:02] wagnerrp: if youre using your distro's init scripts to run mythtv, those should be in /var/log/mythtv
