[00:00:03] wagnerrp: you point mythtv at the database
[00:00:09] wagnerrp: and then mythtv decides where it should go from there
[00:00:17] wagnerrp: (that means you should only be running one database as well)
[00:00:25] bjd: yeah, but thats usually local to a backend
[00:00:29] edomeda: does underscore -> space work for filenames only? I've got some directories with underscores but they don't get converted in the video list.
[00:00:34] lucidblue: okay, I'll just keep that process from starting then... so in mythtv-setup, there's a spot for a 'local backend', and one for 'master backend'... should I just point both those to the remote?
[00:00:36] RDV_Linux: KungFuJesus: I just looked at the pastebin you posted earlier about Jamu and a UnicodeDecodeError error. Your cron environment has not been set up as UTF8 follow #6 of this link: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jamu#This_stupid_t . . . _not_work.21 Cron does not always inherit the same environment as your terminal session.
[00:01:20] wagnerrp: edomeda: that only works for the filename parsing used when loading new videos/movies
[00:01:40] lucidblue: and it has a spot for 'security pin', not sure where I'll find that on the other machine, it's been a long time since I've message with it
[00:01:44] edomeda: wagnerrp, so I guess I need to use spaces in dir names then? yuck
[00:01:50] wagnerrp: why yuck?
[00:02:21] edomeda: I just hate spaces, makes things bit more complicated. :)
[00:02:39] wagnerrp: edomeda: your other option is to let mythvideo scrap the given directory structure completely
[00:02:46] wagnerrp: and have it formulate its own menu
[00:03:09] wagnerrp: i think thats in 'sort by'
[00:03:17] Beirdo: gbee: #4954 should get fixed in trunk is the idea? Sounds like a plan
[00:06:53] edomeda: so if a movie doesn't exist on themoviedb, how would I go about adding all the metadata?
[00:07:26] wagnerrp: add the movie to themoviedb and wait for it to be pushed out to their API cache servers
[00:07:36] edomeda: :)
[00:11:13] edomeda: take it we can't just cut/paste from imdb.com ? :)
[00:11:18] gbee: more that it's still an issue in trunk, version == bug/patch against this version, milestone == version we intend to contain a fix/patch
[00:12:01] lucidblue: were can I go to change where mythfrontend is looking for the DB?
[00:12:04] sphery: yay! contrib weighs 4 scripts less
[00:12:09] wagnerrp: edomeda: nope, youve got to write it up in your own words
[00:12:09] lucidblue: I can't find it in mythtv-setup
[00:12:24] wagnerrp: sphery: feel free to pull my stuff out of contrib and put it on the wiki
[00:12:59] gbee: Beirdo: we're going through the 0.21/0.22 tickets trying to establish which are still relevant to 0.23/trunk, hence bumping the version on some tickets, closing others or requesting users try a newer release
[00:13:34] gbee: if an issue was reported against 0.21, but still exists in a more recent version, then the ticket should be updated to reflect that
[00:13:52] edomeda: yeah, so any other options? much rather use stuff people have done like on imdb, anyway to import that into myth
[00:14:12] wagnerrp: edomeda: not legally
[00:14:34] wagnerrp: IMDB has decided to take all that user generated content, and lock it down behind restrictions against scrapers
[00:14:52] wagnerrp: if you must use it, they make a text-only database available for download and local searching
[00:15:40] gbee: I think you even sign over rights to the content you submit to imdb as part of their T&Cs, though don't hold me to that
[00:15:59] Beirdo: gbee: gotcha. Perfect.
[00:16:01] wagnerrp: gbee: im sure thats in there somewhere
[00:16:17] gbee: not that anyone has the right to use the data just because it was created by other users anyway
[00:16:51] Beirdo: it would be nice to close a lot of the ancient tickets for sure
[00:17:29] edomeda: I don't need to automate it it, just wanted to cut and paste a few obscure movies.
[00:17:50] wagnerrp: you own the movies? youve watched them?
[00:17:56] wagnerrp: just write up your own summary in your own words
[00:18:10] edomeda: with all the rights now days, it's hard to sneeze without getting sued by someone
[00:18:18] wagnerrp: should have all the cast information you need on the case
[00:18:29] wagnerrp: or in the credits at the end of the film
[00:18:35] edomeda: several are my wife's, I've not watched, nor am I going to. lol
[00:18:50] sphery: wagnerrp: any specific ones?
[00:19:04] wagnerrp: tell he if she wants more than a blank question mark, she needs to do it
[00:19:14] wagnerrp: sphery: anything ive put up there
[00:19:33] wagnerrp: i dont think theres anything besides mythvidexport and mythfs
[00:19:35] gbee: Beirdo: yeah it would be nice to make a dent, ticket triage was non-existent for a period so we fell well behind, even now triage efforts aren't really keeping pace, so there are a huge number of invalid or outdated tickets still in the system
[00:20:03] sphery: wagnerrp: ok... thanks
[00:20:13] Beirdo: gbee: I'll see what I can do post-move :) right now... not much time to work bugs, etc.
[00:20:17] wagnerrp: or if you want, ill take care of it
[00:20:39] ** Beirdo yawns **
[00:20:59] sphery: edomeda: IMDb steals all the content that users submit and makes it their own
[00:21:13] wagnerrp: is that 'myth_upcoming_recordings' basically a terminal pretty-printer for the backend status page?
[00:21:20] mat__ (mat__!~quassel@e181228142.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:21:30] sphery: edomeda: themoviedb.org ftw!
[00:21:31] mat__ is now known as matmat
[00:21:38] matmat: hello
[00:22:08] wagnerrp: and that mythical... do we even need that? considering mythweb doesnt the same thing
[00:22:11] sphery: wagnerrp: no, it gives output of upcoming recordings--either in plain text or backend html. You can specify you only want conflicts or all sorts of stuff
[00:22:26] sphery: wagnerrp: so, for example, I can have a section at the bottom of my backend status page that shows all conflicts
[00:22:41] sphery: and it has the same mouseover/detail popup as the "next 10 recordings"
[00:22:55] sphery: also can specify number of recordings or amount of time from now or ...
[00:22:58] matmat: after updating the autobuilds my video is zoomed and blocky, is that a known issue?
[00:22:59] wagnerrp: oooh... so these are are scripts intended to provide additional information to the backend status page
[00:23:00] wagnerrp: neat
[00:23:08] sphery: mythical probably isn't necessary with mythweb support
[00:23:16] sphery: mythweb support was added right after that script went in
[00:23:24] sphery: wagnerrp: right :)
[00:23:39] sphery: though... does mythical?
[00:23:43] gbee: matmat: no
[00:24:27] sphery: wagnerrp: thanks for pointing that out--it's not a misc status script. I'll recat it (just moved whatever was in that dir)
[00:25:14] klk (klk!~klk@76.211.128.200) has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
[00:26:09] matmat: its like i set my tv to zoom to display a non native aspect ratio
[00:26:23] matmat: only my tv has decent upscaling
[00:26:47] lucidblue: huh, the mythfrontend on the distro for my desktop won't move forward because it wants to upgrade the DB schema from 1214 to 1244, I'm assuming that would cause my current mythfrontend on the other machine not work right?
[00:26:55] sphery: wagnerrp: I actually use myth_recent_recordings.pl to show all the shows recorded today (in the last 24 hours). It's nice to be able to see that at the bottom of the page.
[00:26:58] matmat: and also theres no need to zoom
[00:27:34] wagnerrp: sphery: ah, i just look at the recently completed jobs for that
[00:27:34] sphery: wagnerrp: also, if the main readme/description page doesn't make clear what these are for, feel free to edit
[00:27:44] sphery: those jobs don't stay long
[00:28:04] wagnerrp: commflag jobs generally stay for a day or so
[00:28:16] sphery: (the ability for anyone to edit is the huge advantage of wiki placement over SVN placement)
[00:28:23] wagnerrp: i guess they get flushed by the daily cleanup in the backend
[00:28:52] sphery: you mean the Job Queue section of the backend status page?
[00:28:58] edomeda: is it possible to have a different filename then the metadata title for a iso?
[00:29:03] sphery: those get cleared soon after they complete for me...
[00:29:32] wagnerrp: sphery: they usually stay around for a while on mine
[00:29:50] sphery: edomeda: you can always edit metadata, so once it "guesses" a title from the filename, just use M or I (?) to get to Edit Metadata and edit the title
[00:29:50] wagnerrp: better part of a day
[00:30:04] sphery: weird
[00:30:27] sphery: I can catch mine if I look soon after primetime, but the next morning they're all gone
[00:31:55] highzeth: less than 12h lifespan here
[00:33:01] edomeda: very odd, it tells me it can find the movie, then a few seconds later it pops up with the data.
[00:34:13] sphery: can = can't?
[00:34:38] sphery: might be a timeout thing?
[00:34:40] edomeda: yeah, my bad, was up late messing with all this
[00:35:08] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[00:35:12] sphery: first time I hit tmdb, I get nothing because their name servers are dead slow
[00:35:17] edomeda: yeah, my internet isn't the best, but the search just sits there and then goes back to the main screen, or it says can't find the movie... then later when on another movie it pops up
[00:35:20] sphery: after that, all works fine
[00:37:47] javatexan: i need a good little box to do mythtv frontend, but i also want it to have 2 nics, any ideas
[00:38:02] javatexan: smaller the better
[00:38:03] edomeda: I tried the "i", metadata, enter title, then it searches and goes back to the movie list without any changes
[00:38:20] highzeth: something I noticed today, wonder if its a design choice or "bug". If you edit a recording thats in progress, and when done with marking cutpoints, exit the edit menu, it will add any remaining minutes instead of keeping it cut out. Which leaves me to either wait to edit last segment/cutpoint or remove the new myth added ones done recording
[00:38:24] edomeda: ah, nvm, took 3 minutes there
[00:38:47] iamlindoro: edomeda, when it finds something, it does all the grabbing in the background-- you are seeing it take forever because of your poor internet connection
[00:39:24] iamlindoro: everything you are describing appears to be attributable to extremely slow connection to TMDB
[00:39:44] edomeda: ok, np, just didn't know it was backgrounding the task
[00:40:13] edomeda: now, all this manual edits, metadata fetching will be the same for all my FE, right?
[00:40:24] iamlindoro: Under normal circumstances with decent connection, a search completes in a few moments, and several seconds later the title will be populated with images and text-- understandable that it would seem odd with such long delays, but the only thing that appears to be causing that is the very slow connection to TMDB
[00:41:03] iamlindoro: As long as your videos, fanart, screenshots, banners, etc. dirs are all mounted to the same path on all frontends, you need only query metadata once, and it will be visible on all your systems
[00:41:36] sphery: so, Category:User_Jobs or Category:User_Job_Scripts
[00:41:41] sphery: maybe the latter?
[00:41:45] iamlindoro: yes
[00:41:49] iamlindoro: rather, I agree

[00:52:05] sphery: wagnerrp: so what benefit do User Jobs have over running scripts based on events completion? Just the queuing/guaranteed-single-host-processing? Or could that be done through the generic event system?
[00:52:08] ikevin (ikevin!~kevin@je-suis-un.groschibre.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:53:01] wagnerrp: theyre run in a queue, specifically when the user requests them
[00:53:08] wagnerrp: rather than based on some uncontrollable event
[00:53:28] wagnerrp: for that script, the user has to specify that they want it moved to mythvideo
[00:53:35] wagnerrp: generally after performing a transcode

[00:58:36] sphery: wagnerrp: ah, that makes sense--jobs that /can/ happen at recording completion, /or/ upon user request.
[00:58:49] sphery: just wondering on a general level--not related to that script, specifically
[00:59:20] wagnerrp: basically, user jobs are ones that occur once, at the request of the user... event jobs are ones that occur on multiple machines, at the request of mythtv
[00:59:43] sphery: yeah, makes sense
[00:59:47] eljefe: Im having screen corruption where the top half of the screen during tv playback is at the bottom. and it is all flickery and jaggy. using ati hd3300 and fglrx
[00:59:57] ** Beirdo creates a user job to fetch a beer from the fridge **
[01:00:01] npm (npm!~npm@cpe-76-169-12-237.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:00:08] sphery: since I had only really seen user jobs used automatically after recording, I hadn't put together the distinction, yet
[01:00:21] sphery: eljefe: 2 copies of the image?
[01:00:37] wagnerrp: beirdo: see, now thats wrong
[01:00:45] eljefe: no, just shifted about halfway up and then continued from the bottom
[01:00:46] Beirdo: oh?
[01:00:56] wagnerrp: thats an event, that would be automatically triggered by mythtv upon connection of a frontend
[01:00:57] Beirdo: why would that be wrong? :)
[01:01:03] Beirdo: hehe
[01:01:11] wagnerrp: you sit down at the frontend, mythtv provides you a beer
[01:01:13] Beirdo: or at the completion of every show
[01:01:14] sphery: eljefe: if so, you need to stop using Bob deinterlacing... Change your Playback Profile group to Slim (Utilitites/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback, 3rd screen).
[01:01:16] wagnerrp: you dont want to have to request that
[01:01:22] sphery: eljefe: I'd still recommend trying Slim.
[01:01:29] Beirdo: good point
[01:01:53] Beirdo: meanwhile, it didn't work, so I'll have to go fetch one myself. Bah
[01:02:21] sphery: where's the event system wiki page...
[01:02:50] ** sphery needs to ref it for the event system scripts page **
[01:02:50] wagnerrp: http://mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_System_Events
[01:03:01] sphery: nice!
[01:03:02] sphery: thanks
[01:03:10] eljefe: sphery: thanks you're awesome
[01:03:22] sphery: wagnerrp: so the scripts for that page should be Category:MythTV_System_Event_Scripts
[01:03:37] sphery: eljefe: Would you say you have a plethora of images?
[01:04:03] sphery: eljefe: it's broken video drivers, but on the bright side, all it breaks is something you don't want, anyway :)
[01:04:16] wagnerrp: sphery: IMO, you just move that page itself to a category
[01:04:30] wagnerrp: and leave the link there as a reference to it
[01:04:36] sphery: wagnerrp: I've been making a main page, then a scripts page
[01:04:50] eljefe: a plethora of images? no its actually pretty smooth
[01:05:05] sphery: like http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Miscellan . . . tion_Scripts , which links to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Status_Information
[01:05:06] eljefe: the new fglrx driver kinda finally works
[01:05:17] sphery: eljefe: that was a bad reference to The Three Amigos movie
[01:05:22] sphery: plethora comment
[01:05:51] sphery: even though you're not elguapo
[01:06:08] Beirdo: I haven't seen that movie in years
[01:06:42] eljefe: sphery: so I can basically use any profile that doesnt use the bob deinterlacer?
[01:06:45] sphery: seems there's no The in that
[01:06:46] wagnerrp: Beirdo: in that case, its really an evil man trying to kill you
[01:07:00] sphery: eljefe: you can't use Bob... You can just change the deinterlacer yourself
[01:07:13] sphery: but really you should create custom profile groups rather than editing examples
[01:07:14] ** Beirdo starts drinking an MGD **
[01:07:21] sphery: eljefe: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Playback_profiles
[01:07:23] eljefe: yea i just got that off the wiki
[01:08:01] sphery: eljefe: re the bad reference, see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092086/quotes starting with, "Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises."

[01:09:22] sphery: yeah, it is kind of old
[01:11:09] eljefe: how about if myth says it is using all inputs but there are no active recordings? Then if i start mythbackend-setup and exit, then restart mythfrontend it works
[01:12:06] wagnerrp: eljefe: are you running mythbuntu?
[01:12:07] skd5aner: anyone know why jamu would do this: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1859177 ?
[01:12:38] eljefe: ubuntu
[01:13:05] wagnerrp: then starting mythtv-setup through their wrapper scripts is automatically stopping mythbackend
[01:13:17] wagnerrp: whatever your problem, it seems to be solved by restarting the backend

[01:22:02] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: good evening :)
[01:22:53] RDV_Linux: skd5aner: What is very odd is that I am watching a movie which just mentioned "This Is Spinal Tap" not 5 minutes ago;)
[01:23:07] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: yea, it seems to be happening to lots of them... for example "40_YEAR_OLD_VIRGIN"
[01:23:26] skd5aner: why does the search come back that it found it, and that it'll auto select it, yet it then says it doesn't know the movie?
[01:23:45] wagnerrp: youre running it in non-interactive mode
[01:23:56] skd5aner: Wagnerrp: -MR
[01:24:06] skd5aner: it *is* an interactive mode
[01:24:07] wagnerrp: since it does not have a direct match, it will not guess
[01:24:08] sphery: wagnerrp: if we put mythfs.py in the wiki, would you like it in a subcategory page?
[01:24:22] wagnerrp: sphery: dont worry about it, ill take care of it later tonight
[01:24:32] wagnerrp: are you removing these from trunk? or 0.23 as well?
[01:24:32] sphery: OK...
[01:24:40] skd5aner: correct me if I'm wrong RDV_Linux
[01:24:42] sphery: just trunk for now
[01:24:57] skd5aner: also, that's pretty funny that was the random movie I picked and you just watched it :)
[01:25:13] sphery: don't know if any distros are doing anything with them that would make their packaging more difficult
[01:25:21] sphery: so I figured at a version change is better
[01:25:37] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: unfortunatly, it's not just a few movies, it's maybe half of mine
[01:26:00] sphery: wagnerrp: though I /am/ all set up to do a page for mythfs.py...
[01:26:06] sphery: would only take moments
[01:26:57] wagnerrp: ok, dont know what category i would put it in
[01:27:01] RDV_Linux: skd5aner: That could be a bug. I used -MI and the same thing happened.
[01:27:04] wagnerrp: where ever mythlink.pl is going i suppose
[01:27:43] RDV_Linux: skd5aner: I will look at this in more detail tomorrow.
[01:28:11] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1859179 – check out the last one...
[01:28:29] skd5aner: I even selected it, and it still failed :)
[01:28:43] sphery: wagnerrp: can be recategorized easily, so I'll go ahead and start it and we can move it if desired.
[01:28:50] sphery: thanks
[01:29:03] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: Alright, no problem... I can sleep on it for a few days, if I'm around feel free to ping me if you need any more info/details

[01:29:26] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: btw, I just upgraded to .23-fixes, so that's what version I'm running

[01:39:19] edomeda: I'm having trouble with my antenna and signal strength, should I need to rescan all my existing channels every time I try and tune my amp gain? Can I just try and tune to channels that were there before but too low to lock on previously. (DVB-T)
[01:40:46] sphery: skd5aner: heh, cool... I'll have to actually cut mine tonight
[01:40:55] [R]: edomeda: if you already were picking it up... what is scanning gonna do?
[01:41:07] skd5aner: haha, we couldn't wait – 10 mins out of the oven -HOT!
[01:41:16] sphery: edomeda: you can rescan without clearing out the old stuff--sometimes that works
[01:41:30] sphery: skd5aner: wow... with some vanilla ice cream that would be really good
[01:41:56] ** sphery wonders if http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7842 is just the broken XvMC VLD garbage **
[01:41:57] skd5aner: no ice cream :( :( – at least I got the tall glass of milk
[01:42:08] sphery: that works, too
[01:42:47] edomeda: sphery, well I keep getting way different channel numbers. They should be 1–15, but I'm getting 1200–1205, 2200–2210, etc. Even though the channels seem to show as TV1 for example.
[01:43:01] skd5aner: had a geek moment about 45 mins ago... the wife said "I think I want to make brownies" and I said "sphery just made some" – she stared at me like "wtf are you talking about"?
[01:43:14] skd5aner: then I had to explain, she still was like "uh, ok?"
[01:43:41] skd5aner: don't blame her, ha
[01:43:56] edomeda: I can't seem to lock on to more then one transmitter at a time either. We have 3 primary channels here, 47,49,50, that give us all our stations (about 15)
[01:45:25] edomeda: problem is I can only use indoor antennas, so trying to work with a few different types. My tv (with frewview built in) picks them up even without amplified antenna, but I can't get hvr-2200 to get them all no matter what I try.
[01:46:07] edomeda: anyone got some good tips? I've been searching on the forums/etc.
[01:49:01] sphery: edomeda: those are channel ID's, right?
[01:49:17] sphery: skd5aner: heh, that's funny
[01:49:31] edomeda: sphery, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeview_%28New_ . . . Transmitters
[01:50:34] sphery: edomeda: if the numbers you're giving me are channel numbers, that's because the scanner doesn't have enough info from the stream to give them the proper logical channel number. If they're mythtv channel ID's, that means you're creating redundant copies of channels and completely breaking your setup.
[01:50:49] sphery: edomeda: I highly recommend the video sources portion of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[01:51:54] edomeda: I tried using fetch, but it didn't work for me, (NZ not US)
[01:53:27] edomeda: sphery, so I should delete all video sources, then re-create using EIT grabber?

[02:14:32] sphery: edomeda: go into Utilities/Setup|Edit Keys and figure out what the signal monitor is mapped to

[02:42:11] sphery: wagnerrp: btw, I didn't test whether the python scripts were executable after copy/pasting from that wiki page. I hope spaces work where tabs do for indent.
[02:42:27] wagnerrp: what tabs?
[02:42:56] wagnerrp: darkdrgn2k: 3xff will perform a full decode of the video
[02:43:11] wagnerrp: meaning it will only run as fast as your CPU is actually capable of playing back the content
[02:43:31] wagnerrp: 5xFF or better will start jumping between keyframes
[02:45:03] wagnerrp: sphery: those two scripts had no tabs, all spaces
[02:45:06] darkdrgn2k: wagnerrp: ahh i see.. intersting, will going from a duo core to a quad help?

[02:46:02] sphery: wagnerrp: cool... I don't know my Python, but I heard indenting was important and didn't know if it required tabs or something.

[02:46:56] wagnerrp: darkdrgn2k: and how many slices did you encode them with?
[02:47:04] sphery: wagnerrp: ah, nice... that means even if someone starts with tabs in SVN, when it's moved to wiki (and converted to space), it will work.
[02:47:42] darkdrgn2k: wagnerrp: not sure.. was using handbreak
[02:48:20] wagnerrp: open the file in 'less'
[02:48:33] wagnerrp: in the first couple KB, you should see some file descriptor
[02:48:49] wagnerrp: if youre lucky, it includes all the arguments you passed to the encoder
[02:48:59] wagnerrp: x264 behaves that way, i dont know what ffmpeg's encode does
[02:49:11] darkdrgn2k: doesnt look like it

[02:51:20] darkdrgn2k: wagnerrp: file doesnt speicfy.. trying to figure out what handbreak actually does
[02:51:27] wagnerrp: if you dont specify the slice count, it probably uses the CPU count
[02:51:30] wagnerrp: or maybe CPU+1
[02:51:36] wagnerrp: what did you encode this on?
[02:52:11] darkdrgn2k: handbreak
[02:52:21] wagnerrp: computer... what processor....
[02:52:24] darkdrgn2k: oo sorry
[02:52:29] darkdrgn2k: windows xp quad core
[02:52:43] darkdrgn2k: was playing it on a amd duo core
[02:52:49] wagnerrp: in that case, its probably encoded with 4 or 5 slices
[02:53:00] darkdrgn2k: what are the slices?
[02:53:06] darkdrgn2k: never heard a refrence to them before
[02:53:17] wagnerrp: slices are the built in mechanism in h264 for handling multithreading
[02:53:29] wagnerrp: the 'slices' are actually physical slices of the screen
[02:53:36] darkdrgn2k: aaa interesting
[02:53:37] wagnerrp: it breaks up the screen into multiple domains
[02:53:43] wagnerrp: which are encoded independently
[02:53:49] darkdrgn2k: so each core decodes a part of the screen
[02:53:52] wagnerrp: at a minor loss in compression efficiency
[02:53:53] wagnerrp: correct
[02:54:18] wagnerrp: the more slices, the more threads you can use to encode/decode
[02:54:26] wagnerrp: but the larger the file will be overall

[03:18:35] edomeda: wagnerrp, I've tried two different antennas, one at a time, then I'm trying two antennas with splitter (over 1wavelength apart)
[03:18:56] edomeda: darkdrgn2k, thing is both indoor antennas work for my tv, just not my tuner card
[03:19:27] darkdrgn2k: edomeda: tuner might be not as powerfull :-P
[03:19:32] edomeda: not sure my card is giving me good values, my signal is always 86–98%
[03:20:19] edomeda: like right now, I've got 98% signal, but my BE (bit errors?) is 22–35000 and my Signal/Noise ratio is 2.2–2.3
[03:20:57] edomeda: but this channel is completely unwatchable

[03:32:20] darkdrgn2k: wow 23 is faster
[03:33:25] PaulWay: I'm getting a really weird error where, _sometimes_ my newly installed frontend says the DB version is 12440, and then sometimes it connects.
[03:33:55] wagnerrp: 1244? or 12440?
[03:33:59] PaulWay: Sometimes sound works and other times it says that it can't connect to ALSA device 'default??' where ?? are unicode characters.
[03:34:18] PaulWay: Program dates come up with similar unicode characters in them.
[03:34:54] darkdrgn2k: ok any idea why i cant wach any recordings now
[03:35:23] PaulWay: It's like the frontend gets extra characters added to some queries or info from the backend somewhere.
[03:35:27] PaulWay: It's very bizarre.
[03:36:07] PaulWay: The other symptom is that it keeps defaulting back to the Terra theme no matter how many times I select any other theme.
[03:39:30] clever: if your getting non-numbers in the number-only date/time fields, then your DB is screwed
[03:39:40] clever: run repair table on every table (theres a script for it)
[03:40:13] PaulWay: OK.
[03:40:20] PaulWay: Yet my other front-end is working fine.
[03:40:45] PaulWay: I'm suspecting the current version on the newly-installed machine has some problem – maybe architecture (x86_64) specific.
[03:42:02] PaulWay: I'm using the mythweb interface to run the repair – all tables checked out OK beforehand.
[03:42:27] PaulWay: I wonder if I should try compiling from source.
[03:42:52] PaulWay: This is an Atom system – maybe there's something weird in the way the RPM package is compiled.

[04:56:10] clever: with this latest update, i just renamed the entire dir before 'make install', so it was basicaly starting from scratch (empty /lib and /bin)

[06:44:07] clever: wagnerrp: any reason why my backend would cease to auto-expire?
[06:45:59] wagnerrp: nope
[06:46:12] edomeda: have to say guys, I'm rather impressed. Got two HD (720p and 1080p) streams recording, watching a third 1080p on subchannel multiplex (think that is the correct term) and have one of the recording in a PIP, all on a dual tuner. Very cool
[06:46:15] wagnerrp: to be honest, ive never actually relied on autoexpire
[06:46:18] clever: i'll give -v file,idle a try and see what it looks like

[06:50:15] clever: wagnerrp: not seeing anything odd yet in the logs, though it hasnt mentioned auto-expire at all yet
[06:50:26] clever: 2 of 3 drives are beyond the 5gig limit i had set
[06:51:36] sphery: clever: pretty sure the autoexpire breaks when a file is missing
[06:51:42] sphery: don't remember if that was fixed...
[06:51:54] sphery: i.e. you need to touch whatever file is missing
[06:52:01] clever: sphery: with my old version, it just spewed a warning once per restart and then continued
[06:52:13] sphery: clever: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7692
[06:52:26] clever: ah
[06:52:36] sphery: it was only on 0.22-fixes, but it got fixed, it seems
[06:52:54] sphery: or at least worked around
[06:52:54] clever: 20684M trunk
[06:53:02] sphery: 20K?
[06:53:06] sphery: then it's probably broken

[06:53:30] wagnerrp: 20684? is that pre-qt4?
[06:53:34] clever: i just updated this yesterday...
[06:53:57] clever: MythTV Version  : 20684M
[06:53:59] clever: Library API  : 0.23.20100404–1
[06:54:05] sphery: ummm
[06:54:08] Casper0082 is now known as kc
[06:54:10] wagnerrp: thats a very old one
[06:54:19] sphery: and it shouldn't be Library API  : 0.23.20100404–1
[06:54:28] sphery: you have a broken working copy
[06:54:29] wagnerrp: were in the 24Ks now
[06:54:40] sphery: 24062
[06:54:47] clever: svn info says its 24035 for the root of the src
[06:55:09] sphery: then you have a broken file system and your time stamps don't work
[06:55:12] clever: i'll track down whats going on
[06:55:20] sphery: meaning that your entire MythTV is probably borked beyond recognition
[06:55:24] sphery: which would explain all your segfaults
[06:55:29] clever: svnversion agrees and says 24035M
[06:55:41] sphery: you need to make distclean and rebuild
[06:56:04] sphery: and make sure you do it after reenabling file modification times
[06:56:05] clever: i'll give that a spin
[06:56:12] clever: mod times have always been on
[06:56:26] clever: i never turned them off
[06:56:30] clever: access times seem to be borked, but i dont need them much
[06:56:46] sphery: if they are, then you probably have a version.* that's way in the future
[06:56:49] sphery: (and possibly others)
[06:56:59] clever: everything is ntp'd together
[07:00:19] clever: if the makefiles and timestamps are all done properly, you should never have to distclean
[07:00:34] clever: but i dont think qmake gives you enough control to do it 'right' with such a large project
[07:01:26] clever: i did run into a couple link errors during compile and had to manualy clean libmythui
[07:01:32] clever: but i was trying to avoid cleaning the entire thing
[07:05:59] sphery: clever: out of curiosity, do you get anything with: find . -newermt 'now' -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l
[07:06:48] clever: yeah, but the dates given by ls are all old
[07:07:12] clever: -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 3595 2009-05–10 02:15 README
[07:07:26] clever: some of them arent even from this year
[07:07:36] clever: find: invalid predicate `-newermt'
[07:07:46] sphery: old find?
[07:07:53] clever: GNU find version 4.2.32
[07:08:03] sphery: mine's 4.4.2
[07:08:17] clever: let me try running it on gentoo
[07:08:56] sphery: I can get you an old-compat one in just a moment
[07:09:36] clever: -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 3595 May 10 2009 README
[07:09:57] clever: gentoo doesnt complain about that being invalid (find (GNU findutils) 4.4.0) but still reports old stuff
[07:10:00] sphery: touch now && find . -newer now -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l
[07:10:03] sphery: should work
[07:10:09] sphery: then rm now if you like
[07:11:15] clever: still reporting 2007 junk, lol

[07:11:41] sphery: what about with ls -lc
[07:12:09] clever: identical files to what the find cmd found
[07:12:30] clever: let me pastebin a 'stat' output
[07:12:34] sphery: same times?
[07:12:45] clever: http://privatepaste.com/f9355e9f7c
[07:13:06] clever: stat is alot more clear, it lists every time and names them
[07:13:16] sphery: cool
[07:13:48] clever: it also seems the timezone for UPGRADING differs between the access stamp and the other stamps
[07:14:27] sphery: that's just because it was during DST
[07:14:31] clever: yeah
[07:14:48] sphery: don't know why it's keying off that file, though, since it's not newer than now
[07:15:09] sphery: but I have a feeling that's why your version isn't being properly updated
[07:15:16] clever: make itself will do similar checks
[07:15:17] sphery: something with file system weirdness
[07:15:21] sphery: yeah
[07:15:29] clever: it warns if any file is newer then now and if the clock skews during build and stuff
[07:15:41] sphery: we generate version.cpp and assume that since it's newer it will be recompiled
[07:15:43] clever: ive seen it spew ALOT before if the client was 1h in the past, relative to the server (NFS)
[07:15:53] kc (kc!~Casper@unaffiliated/kc) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

[07:34:55] edomeda: I may have misunderstood the long term one, said something about pointing my dish, which I took to mean DVB-S only
[07:40:20] edomeda: Using NFS mounted metadata is a bit laggy for me, anyone else tried something like local fanart/etc on the FE that is rsynced to the BE?
[07:40:48] [R]: why not just use storage groups?
[07:41:02] wagnerrp: hes got ISOs
[07:41:10] wagnerrp: laggy?
[07:41:49] [R]: he saaid fanart
[07:41:57] [R]: you can storage group that w/o stoarge grouping the content
[07:41:58] [R]: can't you?
[07:42:03] wagnerrp: no
[07:42:14] wagnerrp: local content gets local fanart
[07:42:24] [R]: oh, weird
[07:42:48] wagnerrp: edomeda: your fanart is already stored locally
[07:45:03] edomeda: wagnerrp, well I changed it to NFS so all my FE would have it
[07:45:26] wagnerrp: im saying your fanart is already stored on the local hard drive
[07:45:27] edomeda: wagnerrp, FE don't share it do they?
[07:45:33] wagnerrp: there would be no purpose to using rsync
[07:45:46] edomeda: I changed the path to an NFS mounted share
[07:46:03] wagnerrp: correct
[07:46:12] edomeda: I wanted all of my FE to have the same fanart without having to download it each time.
[07:46:15] wagnerrp: that NFS share is accessed once
[07:46:22] wagnerrp: at which point it gets scaled to fit your theme
[07:46:26] edomeda: ah, so the lag is something else then
[07:46:26] wagnerrp: and stored in a local cache
[07:46:48] wagnerrp: so long as you do not resize your theme, or change themes, it will remain there
[07:46:55] wagnerrp: and will always pull from there rather than nfs
[07:47:16] edomeda: I've only got about 15 videos with fanart/covers and it was a bit laggy, but I didn't realize that it keeps a local copy on first display

[07:56:30] [R]: kormoc: jarod posted patches... this was in the 2.6.30 timeframe
[07:56:52] kormoc: [R]: sadly the one I needed appears to be blank :(
[07:56:55] [R]: kormoc: there was also a time where i was d/ling the fedora srpm

[07:57:11] kormoc: that sounds painful
[07:57:16] [R]: not really

[07:58:53] klk: so i just got a new hard drive and installed fedora 12 on it. my old drive had fedora 7 and myth .20.2
[07:59:07] klk: can i just copy the contents of /var/lib/mysql over?
[07:59:20] [R]: kormoc: well in that case you can just patch the kernel with the fedroa patch directly
[07:59:41] wagnerrp: klk: absolutely not
[08:00:11] wagnerrp: you need to perform a mysql dump
[08:00:18] wagnerrp: and then insert that into the new database
[08:00:41] klk: i figured that would be too easy
[08:01:23] wagnerrp: you can try
[08:01:35] wagnerrp: and if the previous and current mysql versions are close enough
[08:01:36] wagnerrp: it may work
[08:01:43] wagnerrp: but chances are it wont
[08:01:52] kormoc: [R]: that might do the trick, thanks
[08:02:09] wagnerrp: especially considering you're five major revisions away from your previous install
[08:02:45] klk: when i started mysql the first time it gave me a few errors, but i ran mysql_upgrade and that seemed to fix everything
[08:03:05] klk: h0rts
[08:03:08] klk: oops
[08:03:28] wagnerrp: dont know anything of mysql-upgrade
[08:03:51] klk: i checked /var/log/mysql, it had a few errors and suggested running that
[08:04:14] sphery: wagnerrp: so now I just have to figure out how to deal with (especially non-script) contrib that has multiple files (like some of the C-language channel changers--see dct-channel--and the tkremote)
[08:04:41] sphery: would be nice if mediawiki has some sort of file upload/download for non-media files
[08:05:09] wagnerrp: sphery: it does... you just have to adjust the blacklist
[08:05:59] sphery: wagnerrp: I think mysql_upgrade is a script that's meant to upgrade binary data files when you change versions... It's the dangerous approach compared to doing a proper SQL-based backup/restore.
[08:06:07] sphery: it's distributed with mysql
[08:06:19] wagnerrp: ah
[08:06:48] sphery: ok, well, I don't know whether we should allow .c/.h/Makefile/...
[08:06:56] sphery: or .tar.gz or whatever
[08:06:59] sphery: as it could easily be abused
[08:08:18] clever: Makefiles could be the worst
[08:08:33] sphery: yeah, tab/space are critical in those
[08:08:44] sphery: so we'd probably need to do tar.gz or something
[08:08:46] clever: i'm thinking more along the lines that you 'sudo make install' alot
[08:08:58] clever: all it takes is a single rm -rf / and it will bork your whole system
[08:09:12] sphery: oh
[08:09:17] clever: .c files are harder to abuse since the compiled output rarely gets ran as root
[08:09:38] sphery: still can rm everything in your home
[08:09:48] clever: yeah
[08:10:07] sphery: but yeah, due diligence is required when using any contrib script
[08:10:14] sphery: whether in SVN or wiki
[08:11:34] clever: that reminds me, i should check the svn output more closely, lindoro might have a [[ `hostname` == "clever" ]] && rm -rv / in there:P

[16:32:12] wagnerrp: or at least some VERY complex circuitry to perform the frequency shift

[16:35:32] mugginz: I'm using multiple tuners. While one is recording and I try to change to a diffent channel, myth doesn't seem to want to auto change to the other tuner, I have to manually swap inputs. Is there an option to make this automatically happen?
[16:36:09] wagnerrp: there is an option to browse across multiple sources, i dont recall what it is off hand
[16:36:22] mugginz: Cool. I'll go lookin. :)
[16:36:23] wagnerrp: but that only affects the channel up/down
[16:36:36] wagnerrp: if you type in the number directly, or use the EPG to select it
[16:36:43] wagnerrp: it should switch automatically
[16:36:51] mugginz: When using tyhe EPG it would refuse to change
[16:40:56] dan4dm: ok i have a similar question. when we're watching live and a recording wants to start on another channel, myth gives us options (e.g. change channel) – but often it seems to us that the other tuner is free and should be able to take it no problem. is there a reason myth (0.22) would not do that (e.g. tuner is chosen in advance by the scheduler)?
[16:41:20] PsychoI3oy: chmod 666 /var/run/lirc/lircd

[17:17:58] wagnerrp: with digital tuners
[17:18:09] wagnerrp: each physical channel may contain multiple subchannels
[17:18:17] wagnerrp: virtual tuners is mythtv's mechanism for handling this
[17:18:30] wagnerrp: allowing you to record multiple subchannels simultaneously on a single tuner
[17:19:35] gizmobay: so for example, some stations broadcast 4 signals over one frequency. What you're saying is I could record all four?

[17:23:36] gizmobay: okay that makes sense
[17:24:28] iamlindoro: 5 servers, in fact
[17:24:55] wagnerrp: 5 tuners each, plus a separate headend, and video processor with HD-SDI output
[17:24:56] iamlindoro: Exactly as one could do with five myth backends (one master, four slaves)
[17:25:41] wagnerrp: slightly different configuration, since they have a tunerless master
[17:25:55] AndyCap: and no scheduler
[17:26:00] iamlindoro: I'd actually be somewhat surprised if there wasn't some Myth setup, somewhere, that outdoes that in terms of tuners
[17:26:09] wagnerrp: who needs a scheduler if you record everything all the time?
[17:26:17] AndyCap: wagnerrp: exactly
[17:26:56] wagnerrp: and theyre recording everything intentionally, theyre not just trying to get one instance of each episode
[17:27:04] wagnerrp: they want ads and all

[17:38:17] gizmobay: I see
[17:38:43] jarle: gizmobay: or you want another backend to help out comm-flagging recordings
[17:39:00] wagnerrp: jarle: then you run mythjobqueue
[17:39:02] wagnerrp: not mythbackend
[17:39:36] gizmobay: so the master will divvy up the task among multiple slave backends?
[17:39:47] jarle: wagnerrp: oh, wasn't aware of that
[17:39:48] wagnerrp: currently? no
[17:40:03] wagnerrp: the jobqueue is currently first-come first-served
[17:40:32] wagnerrp: the jobqueues just each independently grab whatever the next job is theyre allowed to run
[17:40:47] wagnerrp: so there is a (very slight) risk of a race condition

[17:44:29] wagnerrp: im going to adjust operation so that the slave queues will only run jobs listed as to run on that host
[17:44:37] wagnerrp: and then have the MBE delegate jobs
[17:44:39] iamlindoro: I don't have a lot of thoughts, to be honest-- only things I've ever really desired out of the job queue would be job reordering/user friendly canceling/etc.
[17:44:53] wagnerrp: instantaneous jobs would get API and protocol calls to run system commands
[17:45:01] wagnerrp: and if they ran for more than a few seconds
[17:45:11] wagnerrp: it would preempt one of the jobs already in the jobqueue
[17:45:21] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Hmm, let me think about it, nothing immediately springs to mind but I had never considered it
[17:45:37] wagnerrp: this would be for stuff like the grabber scripts
[17:45:44] wagnerrp: you said you would like that to be moved onto the backend
[17:46:19] iamlindoro: I hadn't thought about using the job queue for the grabber scripts
[17:46:49] iamlindoro: But rather wrapping it in its own functions in libmythtv or libmyth and having custom protocol commands for it
[17:47:30] wagnerrp: well in this case, it wouldnt really have anything to do with the jobqueue
[17:47:43] wagnerrp: the only reason for including it is so that you can suspend currently running jobs
[17:47:53] wagnerrp: if an instantaneous job is going to take some time
[17:48:47] iamlindoro: I wonder about opening up the protocol to running system commands, though, seems sort of dangerous
[17:49:08] wagnerrp: it would only be allowed to run commands listed in a database table
[17:49:26] iamlindoro: ah, ok
[17:49:40] wagnerrp: which would also eliminate the current 4-job limit
[17:51:45] wagnerrp: i actually hadnt considered being able to alter the ordering og jobs
[17:51:58] wagnerrp: ... are autoincrement fields automatically required to be unique?

[18:06:31] wagnerrp: the only way you could actually secure that is if you put mythvideo in browse mode, stored the content locally, and used something like a usb fab to decrypt it
[18:06:46] wagnerrp: otherwise, youre limited to the extents of mythtv's 'parental mode'
[18:07:00] wagnerrp: there are four levels, and a 4-digit pin
[18:07:46] dserban: I know about the parental modes, more worried about them being bypassed, though I probably give my kid more credit than necessary :).

[18:08:40] iamlindoro: /nautilus/what have you
[18:09:47] wagnerrp: dserban: no... you can bypass the parental mode in mythtv with a terminal and about 30 seconds
[18:10:06] wagnerrp: (if you know what youre doing of course)
[18:10:22] dserban: yep indeed, though it's not what I'm talking about. Though it applies either way. I'm going to go re-read what I know about the parental locks.
[18:10:42] dserban: Just re-drawing my "kid limited" fe's setup.
[18:11:08] dserban: rather, making the plan... grr too many irc convos going on at once.

[18:13:09] dserban: I watch natural born killers. What does that make me?
[18:13:17] gizmobay: Couldn't dserban use truecrypt and write a script to mount and dismount then he could add it to the menu
[18:13:22] wagnerrp: a jon malkovich fan?
[18:13:45] gizmobay: add it to the menu under setup where you need a pin to get to it
[18:13:59] wagnerrp: gizmobay: mythtv is not designed for transient content
[18:14:06] wagnerrp: hence the need for 'browse mode' in mythvideo

[21:50:16] wagnerrp: do you have storage groups enabled?
[21:50:21] justdave: of course, if MythVideo itself incorporated the feature I'm trying to emulate with it I wouldn't need this script that calls it. :)
[21:50:28] justdave: nope
[21:50:40] justdave: it's the wave of the future, so I ought to one of these days
[21:50:41] wagnerrp: then why are you asking why its not working?
[21:50:58] wagnerrp: what feature are you trying to emulate?
[21:51:09] justdave: well, I need a way to have a cron-job auto-add new files in MythVideo's directory
[21:51:32] justdave: so they can use the pretty stuff the database-backed gallery lets you do instead of having to use the file browser
[21:51:48] wagnerrp: you add stuff so often that you cannot simply run a scan when you enter mythvideo?

[21:52:41] wagnerrp: playback runtime?

[21:53:07] justdave: "Runtime: 24 minutes" etc
[21:53:12] wagnerrp: oh
[21:53:28] wagnerrp: no, it populates that with data from the grabber

[21:57:06] justdave: hmm, okay, so instead of this cron job that kicked off the scanner and then picked up the pieces, I should really write a custom grabber that sets up the data
[21:57:21] justdave: all the stuff I'm doing is pulled out of the files themselves, it's not going online to look it up
[21:57:46] justdave: (because the data's all there in my case, it just needs to be told to mythvideo's database)
[21:58:11] wagnerrp: do you know python?
[21:58:20] justdave: yep
[21:58:54] wagnerrp: see http://mythtv.org/wiki/Myth_video_scan.py
[21:58:59] justdave: jamu looks like it'll help
[21:59:21] wagnerrp: it should be fairly simple to strip out the grabber calls, and add one to midentify
[21:59:48] wagnerrp: of course youre going to have to figure out the path to the file on your own
[22:00:15] wagnerrp: since the path used by storage groups is relative to the base of the storage group

[22:02:31] wagnerrp: alternatively, you can set up a pipe, and use ftopen to open the remote file
[22:02:42] justdave: what I'm currently using is http://mythtv.org/wiki/Generatevideothumbs.pl with a wrapper around it that hits mythweb's scan.php first before calling it.
[22:02:47] wagnerrp: then pipe it into midentify, or ffmpeg, or whatever youre using
[22:03:51] justdave: (which worked great until my 0.23 upgrade)
[22:03:58] justdave: but such things are to be expected with upgrades. :)
[22:04:10] wagnerrp: from what i understand, the storage group scan in mythweb is broken anyway
[22:04:14] justdave: what I get for living on the (almost) cutting edge :)
[22:04:17] wagnerrp: its not populating some field properly
[22:04:22] wagnerrp: which causes other stuff to fail
[22:07:40] justdave: hmm, yeah, I think writing a custom grabber would make this all a lot cleaner in the long run.
[22:07:46] justdave: probably more likely to be forward portable.
[22:08:05] wagnerrp: mythvideo is not set up to allow that
[22:08:06] justdave: I should browse around a bit, been a while since I looked through the stuff on the wiki, someone's probably already done it :)
[22:08:23] wagnerrp: you can write custom grabbers
[22:08:38] wagnerrp: but it will not be easy to back up from the information mythvideo gives the grabber to the actual file

[22:34:22] iamlindoro: Hashing the first time is done in the Db update, not the scan
[22:34:26] wagnerrp: just remove the directory you have listed for videos in the mythvideo setup in mythfrontend

[22:35:15] wagnerrp: and optionally fill out the other images groups

[22:59:45] Oleg_: mythbackend for some reason searches for the settings defined in mythfrontend, instead of mythtv-setup
[22:59:46] Oleg_: why?
[22:59:47] wagnerrp: and youre trying to use a virtual tuner device with mythtv?
[23:00:04] mrec: for testing yes, but it doesn't work with a legacy device either
[23:00:21] mrec: it shows up the same error with the em28xx kerneldriver...
[23:00:22] wagnerrp: Oleg_: stuff in mythtv-setup generally requires a restart of the backend, stuff in mythfrontend generally doesnt
[23:00:33] mrec: the virtual driver is entirely in userspace
[23:00:56] Oleg_: well, I restarted it many times and it still looks for the settings defined in mythfrontend
[23:01:10] wagnerrp: Oleg_: what settings are those?
[23:01:21] Oleg_: UPnpMedia: BuildMediaMap – no VideoStartupDir set, skipping scan.
[23:01:30] wagnerrp: UPNP has nothing to do with mythvideo
[23:01:35] Oleg_: u sure?
[23:01:36] wagnerrp: i told you that already
[23:01:40] wagnerrp: absolutely
[23:01:50] Oleg_: then why it changes every time I change the setting in mythfrontend?
[23:01:55] wagnerrp: it uses the old VideoStartupDir setting set in the frontend
[23:02:02] edomeda: wagnerrp, can I turn on long term EIT (DishNET) for my tuners without rescanning my channels?
[23:02:07] wagnerrp: but it maintains its own independent list of video from mythvideo
[23:02:15] wagnerrp: it does not pull content from the mythvideo table
[23:02:23] wagnerrp: nor can it use content on storage groups
[23:02:32] wagnerrp: edomeda: never used EIT
[23:02:56] edomeda: wagnerrp, why? I use DVB-T freeview and we have a week long EIT here (New Zealand)
[23:03:16] wagnerrp: over here in the states, we get a couple hours worth, if were lucky
[23:03:34] edomeda: wagnerrp, oh, sorry, I miss read that as never USE, early
[23:03:38] Oleg_: really weird. why doesn't mythfrontend find any files or directories in the storage group directory for videos?
[23:04:00] wagnerrp: Oleg_: your files are stored on your backend?
[23:04:10] Oleg_: what do you mean?
[23:04:17] wagnerrp: the machine that runs the backend
[23:04:22] wagnerrp: that machine contains those files?
[23:04:44] Oleg_: the files are on a mounted usb hard disk
[23:04:51] wagnerrp: connected to the backend?
[23:05:06] Oleg_: how can I make sure it's connected to the backend?
[23:05:20] wagnerrp: what machine runs your backend?
[23:05:42] Oleg_: what do you mean? the same machine that I am using for typing it
[23:05:57] wagnerrp: so your frontend and your backend are on the same computer?
[23:06:02] Oleg_: yes
[23:06:12] wagnerrp: which has the usb drive attached?
[23:06:17] Oleg_: yes
[23:06:28] wagnerrp: does the user that runs mythbackend have file permissions to that drive?
[23:06:45] Oleg_: well, I did chmod a+rwx /mnt/hdd2
[23:07:43] wagnerrp: and you added /mnt/hdd2 to the Videos storage group in mythtv-setup?
[23:08:24] Oleg_: yes
[23:08:39] wagnerrp: and restarted the backend, and ran a scan in the frontend?
[23:08:59] Oleg_: scan in "watch videos"?
[23:09:04] wagnerrp: correct
[23:09:10] wagnerrp: there is no automatic scan performend
[23:09:17] wagnerrp: you have to initiate it in mythvideo
[23:09:20] wagnerrp: just as before
[23:11:35] Oleg_: it crashed just now when I tried to do the scan
[23:11:51] wagnerrp: do you have a core dump file?
[23:12:18] Oleg_: core dump file?
[23:12:22] Oleg_: dunno whatcha mean
[23:12:40] wagnerrp: when you crash, segfault, your machine will dump the program core to aide in debugging

[23:14:37] Oleg_: the last two lines of the output it produces when it crashes are these:
[23:14:39] Oleg_: 2010-04–11 18:12:42.129 MythVideo::ScanVideoDirectory Scanning Group (myth://Videos@oleg/mnt/hdd2/)
[23:14:40] Oleg_: Segmentation fault
[23:15:25] wagnerrp: there have been a handful of people complaining about such an issue lately
[23:15:32] wagnerrp: but none of them have been able to produce a core dump
[23:15:39] wagnerrp: and none of us have been able to reproduce the crash
[23:16:06] wagnerrp: run, 'ulimit -c unlimited', run the frontend again, and try to get it to crash
[23:19:53] Oleg_: I did it

[23:28:06] Oleg_: hello?
[23:42:51] edomeda: wagnerrp, seems I was a bit off, my week-long EIT info on my TV is coming from MHEG-5 EPG data.
[23:44:07] edomeda: wagnerrp, so I guess I need to figure out how to download the MHEG-5/EPG data that's on my DVB-T steams

[23:57:59] mzb: edomeda: have you checked steve's info on mypvr?
