[02:26:27] rich0: I've got an lirc question if anybody is up for it: I'm running lirc-0.9.0 on kernel 3.0.6 with an mceusb remote, and I can't get lirc/irw to detect anything. The kernel and x11 do parse some keys directly if I don't disable rc-6 in /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols. Any idea what the issue might be? I've googled and tried everything I can find...

[02:30:04] wagnerrp: rich0: looks like i compiled it with lirc_devices_devinput and lirc_devices_userspace
[02:30:20] rich0: Ok, I don't have userspace enabled – think that matters?
[02:30:30] wagnerrp: and with LIRCD_OPTS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/event4" in my conf.d/
[02:30:43] wagnerrp: change the input device to match your system
[02:31:08] rich0: Ok, I have all of that configured, with the exception of lirc_devices_userspace
[02:31:21] rich0: I'll see if I can give that a shot – just need to recompile...
[02:31:29] wagnerrp: hold on
[02:31:54] wagnerrp: for some reason, i also ended up getting all different codes out of it that didnt match those that came in the bundled lircd.conf in the lirc package
[02:32:01] wagnerrp: so i had to record a new one
[02:32:13] wagnerrp: run 'mode2' to see if you are actually getting something out of the device
[02:32:19] rich0: did you try the devinput lircd.conf? I see there is one for that and one for mceusb
[02:32:36] rich0: for whatever reason mode2 tells me that it doesn't support the device
[02:33:07] wagnerrp: no i didnt, to be honest, i didnt know there were any available besides whatever the ebuild automatically put into place
[02:33:12] rich0: This program does not work for this hardware yet
[02:33:39] rich0: Ok, let me try that. If you're running it on gentoo that is reassuring since that is what I'm using.  :)
[02:33:55] rich0: (trying to switch from minimyth to gentoo/PXE on an nfs root)
[02:34:04] wagnerrp: kernel 3.0.6 in fact
[02:34:57] wagnerrp: i looked through a handful of lircds on the myth wiki, but none seemed to match the data i was getting
[02:35:21] rich0: Ok, gentoo at least sticks a bunch in /usr/share/lirc/remotes I think
[02:35:31] rich0: I'll see what I get with the userspace driver enabled
[02:35:54] wagnerrp: hm... so it does
[02:36:23] rich0: At least with the nfs root I can do the emerge from a peppier box...
[02:36:30] wagnerrp: well the codes are very much different than the ones i recorded
[02:36:52] wagnerrp: just the one PXE booted box?
[02:38:51] rich0: Yup.
[02:39:30] rich0: Ok, I rebuilt with both the userspace and devinput drivers. I ran lircd pointing to /dev/input/event2, and ran irw, and I'm still not getting anything.
[02:39:50] rich0: If my lircd.conf has the wrong codes would that prevent irw from showing anything?
[02:40:00] wagnerrp: seems mode2 doesnt work... i thought it did
[02:40:22] wagnerrp: lircd.conf tells lircd how to translate raw codes into named buttons
[02:40:30] wagnerrp: irw prints out those named buttons
[02:40:49] wagnerrp: or other programs use lircrc files as definitions on what to do with those named buttons
[02:41:10] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:41:48] wagnerrp: well if you want to give it a try, http://pastebin.com/3LEKsEch
[02:42:18] rich0: Ok, I killed lircd, then tried irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event2 /tmp/test – then I hit a button and got "irrecord: gap not found, can't continue"
[02:42:53] [R]: you know, there is this problem
[02:42:55] [R]: program*
[02:42:56] [R]: um...
[02:43:31] [R]: inputlirc
[02:43:40] [R]: its a very simple lirc daemon specifically for input devices
[02:44:00] wagnerrp: im seeing that more and more
[02:44:26] [R]: i used to use it when i used a usb ir reciver
[02:44:28] wagnerrp: i dont see why it would be any simpler unless they have some utility to pre-select the device and codes, and never sent it back upstream
[02:44:41] [R]: it doesnt need a config
[02:44:43] [R]: like lirc does
[02:44:51] rich0: wagnerrp, now we're getting somewhere!
[02:45:15] wagnerrp: [R]: then how does it know what codes are what?
[02:45:19] rich0: I used your lircd.conf, and now I'm getting something on irw
[02:45:29] [R]: it only works with thigns taht register as standard keyboard buttons
[02:45:37] wagnerrp: bleh
[02:46:24] wagnerrp: rich0: it doesnt follow the standard lirc keyspace, but it does nearly line up with the previous lircd.conf i got from i assume the ebuild
[02:46:32] wagnerrp: whether that is good or bad for you, dont know
[02:48:18] Beirdo: Of course I'm still a Canadian :)
[02:48:37] Beirdo: I have to log in to read whatever that was
[02:48:41] iamlindoro: but nobody's perfect
[02:48:45] wagnerrp: no, read the second link
[02:48:47] Beirdo: hehe
[02:48:52] wagnerrp: typed a number wrong
[02:49:14] Beirdo: ahhh
[02:49:15] rich0: Ok, irw reads most of the keys (I'm sure I can figure out the codes for the ones it misses). However, it doesn't look like mythtv is using lirc – it is just getting up/down/left/rt from X directly I think.
[02:49:23] rich0: Not sure how to enable lirc in mythtv
[02:49:45] wagnerrp: it should be enabled by default, reading from the correct path
[02:50:09] [R]: you need to start lirc before X
[02:50:10] wagnerrp: mythtv reads its code mappings from ~/.mythtv/lircrc, rather than the standard ~/.lircrc
[02:50:15] [R]: so it doesnt try to grab the device
[02:50:15] wagnerrp: no you dont
[02:50:20] wagnerrp: ooh, for that
[02:50:31] wagnerrp: i was just going to say you need to start lirc before mythfrontend
[02:50:58] [R]: if its getting left/right from x, that means x is listening on the device, you'll probably get double presses
[02:51:05] Beirdo: anywho, i think I'll go home now. Spent far too long finding out the hard way the undocumented "feature" of hpacucli...
[02:51:17] Beirdo: It requires the sg module to be preloaded.
[02:51:31] Beirdo: otherwise it says "I can't find your controller!"
[02:52:00] Beirdo: only got about 50 servers that need their RAIDs monitored with the help of that turd of a program
[02:52:03] rich0: If I end up with double-presses I'll deal with that, but right now I'm not getting anything but udlr
[02:52:19] rich0: I did restart X/myth with lircd running and no luck
[02:52:21] wagnerrp: rich0: you have a ~/.mythtv/lircrc ?
[02:52:29] rich0: that I don't have. Let me create one
[02:52:44] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[02:52:54] wagnerrp: mythtv cant do anything with lirc without being told how to map those keys to internal inputs
[02:54:23] rich0: ok, I copied /etc/lirc/lircrc to ~/.mythtv/lircrc – now none of the keys work including udlr
[02:54:29] rich0: So, it did something...
[02:54:53] wagnerrp: post your lirrc
[02:55:31] rich0: Ah, I see the issue – your namespace doesn't match what I have in lircrc
[02:56:06] rich0: I'm using the lircrc from minimyth that has keys like KEY_STOP and you have Stop
[02:56:20] rich0: Do you have a decent lircrc handy?
[02:56:29] wagnerrp: right, i used some non-standard space when i recorded that, since my lircrc files were based off some other lircd.conf that was also outside the standard lirc space
[02:57:14] rich0: Ok, maybe I'll just edit your lircd.conf
[02:57:27] wagnerrp: could do that too
[02:57:52] wagnerrp: that would probably be easier to retain your old button mapping, than to modify my lircrc
[03:05:58] rich0: Ok, no duplicate buttons, and I have most of the keys working now. Many thanks. Just need to figure out how to record the menu button...
[03:15:22] rich0: And I figured out how to get irrecord to work – it doesn't work unless you start with a valid lircd.conf
[03:16:10] wagnerrp: note that if you do so, it overwrites the entire contents of that file, including any old codes you have
[03:17:23] rich0: yeah, I did that on a copy

Well I had the tv paused and wasnt in the room. Because I didnt tell it what I wanted to do it did not record it. I feel like it should try the 2nd tuner if available first before asking.
[03:25:10] Twiggy2cents: Disclaimer: I really still love mythtv, but I am just a little upset at it.

[03:25:51] [R]: theres a setting
[03:25:56] [R]: to schedule around livetv
[03:26:17] rich0: wagnerrp, Thanks for all the help! I'm going to break for now but I think I have lircd basically worked out. Still seems like there are a few issues but video hardware is the next step (accelleration/etc on a zotac ion).
[03:26:43] Twiggy2cents: Ohh I need to set that.
[03:26:55] Twiggy2cents: Is it in mythtv-setup?
[03:27:17] rich0: wagnerrp, also, out of curiousity which ebuilds are you using – the github overlay, or portage? I'm trying to get portage up-to-date slowly but surely...
[03:27:23] [R]: think iits frontend
[03:27:31] Twiggy2cents: Okay, I will check
[03:27:33] Twiggy2cents: Thanks
[03:28:29] wagnerrp: rich0: this github overlay? https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/master/Gentoo
[03:29:12] rich0: thanks – that was the one I figured – portage is now on 0.24.1, but it has been out of date for ages
[03:29:36] ** wagnerrp suggests rich0 take a slightly closer look at that page **
[03:30:26] ** wagnerrp points specifically at all those blue words in the middle of the page **
[03:30:40] Twiggy2cents: [R], it was in the frontend. I feel like that should be enabled by default.
[03:31:02] [R]: no, it shouldn't
[03:31:15] [R]: livetv shouldn't screw up the scheduling
[03:31:19] [R]: its just compeltely complicates things
[03:31:32] rich0: wagnerrp, huh? That is the upstream github overlay.
[03:31:52] ** wagnerrp points harder at those little blue words in the middle of the page **
[03:31:59] rich0: which ones?
[03:32:15] [R]: wagnerrp: we can't see you pointing...
[03:32:17] wagnerrp: the ones in the middle
[03:32:31] wagnerrp: theres big white columns on either side
[03:32:38] wagnerrp: and then a column of blue on the left
[03:32:46] wagnerrp: and one blue word in the upper right
[03:32:51] wagnerrp: and a bunch more in the middle
[03:32:55] Seeker`: evening
[03:33:09] rich0: Ah, gotcha
[03:33:11] rich0: history...
[03:33:17] wagnerrp: no, not the history
[03:33:19] Twiggy2cents: [R], you are right that it messes with the scheduler but livetv in it's self messes with the scheduler so it is sorta fixing it.
[03:33:23] wagnerrp: one thes to the left, and down
[03:33:27] wagnerrp: the middle
[03:33:41] wagnerrp: s/one thes/the ones/
[03:33:46] [R]: lol
[03:33:56] Twiggy2cents: If it has two tuners with the same source it should by default try to record off of the other one
[03:33:58] wagnerrp: not entirely sure how that happened...
[03:34:06] rich0: ie, the fact that you wrote half of it?  :)
[03:34:13] wagnerrp: ding ding... :P
[03:34:15] [R]: Twiggy2cents: theres a way to make livetv start on the 2nd also
[03:34:28] Twiggy2cents: I suppose that the woudl work to
[03:34:30] Twiggy2cents: too*
[03:34:59] rich0: Thanks – I've been making use of it – I'm generally following it for the portage catchup. I'm merging the eclass into the ebuilds for now until I can update them, and incorporating some gentoo patches that aren't in your ebuilds.
[03:35:06] Twiggy2cents: I just enabled the settings to let it choose the less common tuner and to push other schedules to the other recorder if it is watching tv
[03:35:44] wagnerrp: ah, thats your doing? thanks
[03:35:46] rich0: Try diffing 0.24.1 against portage and other than the eclass merging look for some of the other changes (hasq, etc)
[03:35:53] wagnerrp: i figured car doe had gotten active again
[03:36:13] rich0: Yup, ping me at any time, or contact mythtv@gentoo.org . Cardoe is still around, but preoccupied.
[03:36:17] wagnerrp: is that in reference to some of the deprecated message warnings?
[03:36:39] rich0: I have to mind the WAF so I won't be able to run bleeding edge as much as he did, but I'll try to keep the stable versions up-to-date.
[03:36:41] wagnerrp: s/message/command/
[03:36:55] rich0: yes, s/hasq/has usually fixes that one
[03:37:02] rich0: I think there were other changes.
[03:38:42] wagnerrp: will do
[03:39:04] wagnerrp: actually, im surprised cardoe isnt in here
[03:39:08] wagnerrp: hes usually idling around
[03:39:11] wagnerrp: !seen cardoe

[04:04:45] iamlindoro: with your own group of crazies?
[04:05:07] Beirdo: hehe, at least those ones aren't on the bus with me physically :)
[04:05:14] iamlindoro: true
[04:05:48] Beirdo: I gotta get myself into shape so I actually USE my bike.

[04:06:12] iamlindoro: I gues January in Seattle probably isn't biking weather
[04:06:15] wagnerrp: you dont need to be in shape to use a bike
[04:06:17] Beirdo: oops, revealed new year's resolution :)
[04:06:23] Beirdo: wagnerrp: you do in Seattle
[04:06:27] wagnerrp: i mean it helps, but just about anyone should be able to manage a couple miles
[04:06:42] wagnerrp: thats what gears are for
[04:06:43] Beirdo: it's the steep hills all over that make the difference
[04:06:47] ** iamlindoro will ride in the chill 62 degree temps tomorrow ;) **
[04:06:51] iamlindoro: er chilly
[04:06:58] iamlindoro: brrr!
[04:07:00] Beirdo: Yeah, I used to bike in -20C
[04:07:09] Beirdo: I don't care about the temperature THAT much :)
[04:07:39] Beirdo: it's 35–50F here these days, depending on the day
[04:07:57] wagnerrp: mid 60s around here these days
[04:08:04] Beirdo: need to get a BIT more fit before taking the bike into traffic :)
[04:08:28] Beirdo: not terribly much though... and living at the top of a hill... may not have been the best choice in that regards :)
[04:09:16] Beirdo: so, for now, the bike gets to camp out in my office/second bedroom and taunt me
[04:10:15] Beirdo: http://www.rei.com/product/807231/novara-pond . . . er-bike-2012

[04:11:08] wagnerrp: 27 speed? you know, at some point that rear sprocket just gets a bit excessive
[04:11:43] Beirdo: heh, yeah well. I didn't design it
[04:11:53] Seeker`: you end up lugging around more gear than person
[04:12:18] wagnerrp: i still need to get mine fixed
[04:12:18] Beirdo: not likely for me
[04:12:43] Beirdo: it's hard to get more than this person, unfortunately
[04:12:45] wagnerrp: its bent, high gear on the front sprocket doesnt hold under heavy torque
[04:12:51] Beirdo: eeek
[04:12:51] wagnerrp: and drops back to the mid gear
[04:12:57] Beirdo: that's no good at all
[04:13:18] Beirdo: I still need to get SPD pedals again like I had on my last bike
[04:13:21] wagnerrp: almost enough to make you lose your balance
[04:13:30] wagnerrp: spd... those the clip on ones?
[04:14:36] wagnerrp: its fairly old though, maybe 15yrs and somewhere past 2k miles
[04:14:55] iamlindoro: spd = Shimano Pedal Design
[04:14:59] Beirdo: http://www.rei.com/product/668198/shimano-m324-spd-pedals
[04:14:59] iamlindoro: one type of clipless
[04:15:06] Beirdo: I think those were the ones I had
[04:15:44] Beirdo: yeah, really helps on the hills as you pull with one leg as you push with the other
[04:16:17] wagnerrp: assuming you do a lot of biking such that you actually build up those muscles for them to help
[04:16:32] Beirdo: I had some fun exciting times when I first got them and didn't get into the habit yet of clipping out when I stopped
[04:16:34] wagnerrp: i imagine those things really dont get much use outside of that
[04:16:47] Beirdo: not much, correct :)
[04:17:02] Beirdo: some do for walking, but not nearly to that level
[04:17:03] iamlindoro: I need a new set of pedals, mine are tore up
[04:17:07] iamlindoro: http://sparkbrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/spembsfl.jpg
[04:17:26] Beirdo: pretty :)
[04:17:40] iamlindoro: yup, Speedplay
[04:17:43] wagnerrp: like the one guy on my street that frequently runs backwards (he knows enough not to jog)
[04:17:46] Beirdo: definitely a different clip mechanism, what's the release?
[04:18:04] wagnerrp: but running backwards only builds up the muscles to make you better at running backwards
[04:18:22] iamlindoro: Beirdo: same as any clipless, twist

[04:19:34] Beirdo: ahh
[04:21:05] Beirdo: I can see how that would be a good set for the uses you have :)
[04:21:56] iamlindoro: They're pretty much "the" pedal type of triathlon and high end cycling, though I don't put stock in that-- there just happens to be a reason they are
[04:22:09] Beirdo: yeah, gotcha
[04:22:16] Beirdo: they fit the need best
[04:24:39] iamlindoro: Just got a $400 Apple gift card from work... so do I... a) wait for the iPad 3 to come out in the next couple months and adapt the Myth app for iPad to it, b) get an iPhone 4 S, c) sell it on eBay and spend it on hookers and blow
[04:25:15] Beirdo: hhee
[04:25:30] Beirdo: maybe wait for the iPhone 5?
[04:25:31] [R]: hookers and blow
[04:25:33] [R]: do you even have to ask?
[04:25:43] Beirdo: although c) does sound like an interesting option
[04:27:47] [R]: synergy rules
[04:28:59] iamlindoro: I'm thinking it's time to buy a new bike once the tax refund comes in
[04:29:24] iamlindoro: Current one is nice, but I put enough miles in that it's not out of the question to get a little ridiculous :)

[04:40:25] Beirdo: umm, they are too applicable, just not included :)
[04:40:42] iamlindoro: Heh, yeah, high end never comes with pedals
[04:40:52] wagnerrp: Beirdo: you know much about flock?
[04:40:56] Beirdo: the first thing you'd do is replace em anyways
[04:41:27] Beirdo: wagnerrp: as in sheep, the syscall, or the /bin/flock? :)
[04:41:39] wagnerrp: syscall
[04:41:56] Beirdo: I have used it before
[04:42:13] wagnerrp: if im reading this right, the lock is only specific to the file, not the file descriptor
[04:42:16] Beirdo: it's kinda synonymous to windows file sharing locks
[04:42:52] wagnerrp: meaning i can open a file, lock it, close that file, open a new one under a new descriptor, and unlock it against the new one?
[04:43:06] wagnerrp: (same file, new descriptor)
[04:43:14] Beirdo: don't think so
[04:43:37] Beirdo: Hmmm, let me brush up on that, my recollection is that if you close it, it will unlock
[04:43:54] wagnerrp: dont worry about it, ill figure it out through experimentation soon enough
[04:44:09] Beirdo: Furthermore, the lock is released either by an explicit LOCK_UN operation on any of these duplicate descriptors, or when all such descriptors have been closed.
[04:44:34] Beirdo: yeah, if you close the last descriptor with a lock on the file, it unlocks
[04:44:35] wagnerrp: ah, i see
[04:44:55] wagnerrp: i was reading it backwards
[04:45:04] Beirdo: man 2 flock is my source material here
[04:45:19] wagnerrp: right, looking at it currently
[04:45:22] Beirdo: now, when extended to python, it could have changed
[04:45:30] Beirdo: doubtful, but...
[04:46:03] wagnerrp: nah, all of this stuff is very thinly wrapped around the bare syscalls
[04:46:42] Beirdo: yeah, that's what I expected. Can't hurt to be a bit skeptical at first, but yeah, python's pretty good at that :)
[04:47:05] wagnerrp: well its good at layering
[04:47:13] wagnerrp: the deeper you go, the closer it is to the raw syscalls
[04:47:23] wagnerrp: higher up, who knows what youll get
[04:47:49] Beirdo: ah crap
[04:47:54] Beirdo: this zipper is too long

[04:51:24] wagnerrp: unless maybe the osuosl cache is down
[04:56:18] kd3: yah, every theme I've tried... arclight, graphite, mythbuntu, etc... keeps showing that error in the console (after ^Cing and restarting the frontend...)
[04:58:51] iamlindoro: Or unless there's a permissions issue somewhere on the FE or BE
[04:59:37] kd3: where's it supposed to save to? somewhere in ~/.mythtv? I'm running the fe as an unprivileged (but not 'mythtv') user

[11:22:44] kmdm: Hi guys, quick question if I may ;) Recently setup FreeSat with a DVB-S2 card, renumbered the channel numbers to be in the normal range (101, 102, etc...) but if I use chanup/chandown while watching live tv it seems to browse the channels a) in a weird order and b) include channels from the channel table that are visible = '0', any ideas/advice? thanks!

[11:23:28] stuartm: starting with the obvious answer and working backwards, did you restart the backend after making those changes?
[11:23:55] kmdm: hm, interesting – I didn't, but only because the updates to channum took effect without making the changes... I'll try restarting.
[11:24:21] stuartm: the backend caches some things but not others
[11:24:35] justinh: I dunno if it's entirely safe to change channel details while the backend is still up
[11:24:53] justinh: time to try this search patch on the frontend now :-)
[11:25:48] justinh: heheheh. like 20 seconds instead of > 2 minutes. that's what I call an improvement
[11:26:42] stuartm: justinh: you actually use the time search?
[11:26:45] justinh: stuartm: yeah sometimes I do forget the path in a grep.. sometimes I fail big style
[11:27:05] justinh: stuartm: not often, but when theming there's no avoiding some things
[11:27:12] stuartm: ah
[11:27:32] justinh: and when it takes > 2 minutes to see results of a tweak.. hnggggg
[11:27:37] stuartm: I was thinking of dropping it and adding a "jump to time" option to the guide instead
[11:28:15] justinh: I quite enjoyed messing around in the code briefly yesterday. I think I might try to set some time aside to make a calendar style widget or something
[11:30:29] kmdm: stuartm: I imagine you won't be surprised to hear restarting the backend worked – I guess I made a bad assumption there! I really really should have tried that first before coming here *sigh* lol

[11:31:19] justinh: how is it that the freesat numbers end up out of whack anyway?
[11:31:22] kmdm: justinh: it didn't help the channels were hidden from the programme guide too, it was only the browsing up/down while watching TV :)
[11:31:57] justinh: that's one of the features I cant quite reconcile in mythtv. you can hide channels but they pop up elsewhere
[11:32:09] ** kmdm shrugs... I wrote a python script to use Sky's EPG json information to update the channel numbering in mythtv **
[11:32:17] kmdm: that fixed it all up pretty much :)
[11:34:27] stuartm: justinh: the only place hidden channels now appear is in the manual schedule editor and that's a bug
[11:35:39] stuartm: fwiw, the Freesat numbering isn't the same as the Sky numbering – in practical terms it doesn't matter much though
[11:36:15] kmdm: indeed, and I plan to get Sky working too once I get a card reader... :)
[11:36:39] kmdm: just waiting to see if it'll pick up Sky's EIT once it can decode the encrypted channels
[11:36:45] justinh: stuartm: ah cool
[11:36:47] stuartm: Freesat numbering can end up odd if we're avoiding clashes with other sources, e.g. Freeview but otherwise I'd say it was another bug
[11:37:47] justinh: Grrr. Stupid fricking Take Take DVD. I ripped it – & OMG what a battle that was – and myth reckons the iso is 2.5 hours long. But it stops at about 1.5h & you can't even jump to a later chapter. So I converted it to mkv in handbrake & the resulting mkv is only 1.5h long too.
[11:37:47] stuartm: kmdm: friendly warning, that's a forbidden topic here, MythTV takes a strong line against softcam and piracy, merely mentioning either can get you banned from the channel
[11:38:23] kmdm: I did mean with a proper sky card + hardware reader – but fair enough, I'll refrain from that in the future
[11:38:27] stuartm: justinh: it's not transitioning layers?

[11:40:19] justinh: ooo I know. I'll drop the iso onto VLC
[11:40:23] justinh: lol. Take That

[17:07:05] Seeker`: ajaxmike: I believe that is what dekarl-too meant
[17:07:23] ajaxmike: odd that mythtv would require that on the FE
[17:07:41] ajaxmike: and not just default to the BE
[17:08:06] ajaxmike: i'll try to figure out how to do that
[17:08:17] stuartm: MMlosh: give me a moment, I'm not familiar with power/custom rules since I don't use them
[17:08:28] MMlosh: okolsi, thanks
[17:08:31] MMlosh: *ok, thanks
[17:09:12] stuartm: how are you creating the rule, through mythweb or mythfrontend?
[17:10:39] Seeker`: ajaxmike: why not turn off backend override?

[17:10:53] stuartm: in mythfrontend when you create the rule you are taken to the schedule editor screen which has a range of submenus (Schedule Options, Storage Options, Post Processing etc) – under schedule options change the 'Match duplicates ...' to 'Don't match duplicates'
[17:11:16] ajaxmike: seeker: i'll try that first
[17:11:18] lwizardl: is I was looking for types or functions for plugins to mythtv where would be a good place to search and read about ones currently available ?
[17:11:34] stuartm: or in mythweb change the "Duplicate Check method" to None
[17:11:51] stuartm: nice to have consistency in the UIs :(

[17:34:34] stuartm: one of two things, the frontend lost connection with the backend or the backend was too slow in responding to the frontend, more likely the former
[17:35:32] stuartm: if the frontend lost connection it can be for three reasons, the network flaked, or the backend isn't running/crashed, or the backend has hung (still running but not responding to external input)

[19:41:31] Blinny: Hi. I'm planning my wiring runs for MythTV back & front ends. Plan to have multiple backends and multiple fronts. With regards to surround sound, do I need to run from the frontend to the amp & speakers, or from the backend to the amp & speakers?
[19:42:38] stuartm: frontend
[19:42:52] stuartm: backend doesn't decode video/audio, that's all done by the frontends
[19:42:56] wagnerrp: why multiple backends?
[19:42:58] Blinny: stuartm: Thanks mate.
[19:43:13] Blinny: wagnerrp: I may not need multiples, depending on case size and TV sources.
[19:43:14] wagnerrp: the only reason to have a backend is to record
[19:43:28] stuartm: record/store media
[19:43:33] wagnerrp: if something does not have storage and tuner cards, it should not be a backend
[19:44:52] stuartm: Blinny: have you used MythTV before? If not then it's worthwhile setting up a simple setup first so you can familiarise yourself with it, that can even be done with a single exiting machine
[19:46:19] Blinny: Thank you yes, I can dig it. I won't dive in tits first until I wrap my head around this a bit more. I'm just trying to get a first draft of a wiring schematic to then think of the ramifications.

[19:49:31] lwizardl: is I was looking for types or functions for plugins to mythtv where would be a good place to search and read about ones currently available ?
[19:51:13] Seeker`: Blinny: you treat the frontend like you would a DVD player basically
[19:51:58] Seeker`: and the backend is just a server, all it needs is connections for any tuners you have, and a network cable
[19:52:33] wagnerrp: each frontend basically operates as its own independent device, it just receives programming from a shared source
[19:53:04] Blinny: That makes sense. Okay, thank you mates.

[20:06:18] lwizardl: I was looking at the skype plugin
[20:06:18] wagnerrp: i mean me personally, ive got no desire to have my TV tied into a speaker phone

[20:07:14] [R]: i want my mythtv to call me
[20:07:19] [R]: that would be the bomb

[20:09:52] lwizardl: I will admit I liked skype more before MS bought it
[20:10:29] wagnerrp: i always roll my eyes when my relatives start talking about skype, why buy into a locked down, proprietary system with the entire rest of the industry uses open (if patented) protocols
[20:10:40] lwizardl: it seems like as soon as their programmers touched it it got way more buggy. But it was the first thing google found when i searched for mythtv phone
[20:11:06] wagnerrp: my relatives always roll their eyes when i start complaining about skype, why preach freedom and openness when everyone uses skype
[20:11:34] lwizardl: well the general population only cares if it works for them, not how it works
