[00:00:37] devinheitmueller (devinheitmueller!~devinheit@pool-74-108-14-79.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has quit (Quit: devinheitmueller)
[00:01:10] wagnerrp: mickey62ga: softcams are a banned topic
[00:01:49] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: you cannot restore a backup to a different-versioned schema
[00:02:06] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: however, you can do a full restore and let MythTV upgrade it
[00:02:28] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: however, since 0.21 is so old, you'll have to use an intermediary version to go to 0.26
[00:02:30] wagnerrp: and while some users might be able to claim legitimate use of them, stealing dishtv does not qualify
[00:03:34] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: and I highly recommend the restore script because it does checks for you
[00:04:17] sphery: wanting to link to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore , but I'm not getting a reply
[00:04:41] wagnerrp: sphery: is the wiki slow for you?
[00:04:46] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah
[00:04:58] wagnerrp: there's not much load on the system
[00:05:12] sphery: hmmm
[00:05:34] sphery: irclog is slow, too
[00:05:46] sphery: maybe it's my isp
[00:06:56] wagnerrp: i'm going to cycle it
[00:07:37] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/519068#519068 .. and note that you can use the mythconverg_backup.pl script to backup a 0.21-fixes database--and doing so is highly recommended because it is known to use the right arguments to mysqldump that prevent corrupting your data or schema
[00:07:51] sphery: if you use the wrong arguments or fail to use certain required ones, you'll get corruption when you restore the backup
[00:07:54] wagnerrp: seems to have improved
[00:08:19] sphery: yeah, much better
[00:08:21] sphery: wonder what it was
[00:08:40] sphery: maybe I shouldn't have asked it to make that PDF book that contained every page in the wiki...
[00:08:43] sphery: ;)
[00:09:54] sphery: wagnerrp: btw, what did you mean about a multiplexer around http://irc.mythtv.org/ircLog/channel/1/2013-04-13:15:24 (specifically at 16:06:45)
[00:10:18] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, thank you
[00:10:52] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, wait, what is an intermediary version?
[00:10:56] sphery: wagnerrp: and thought you might like http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/134006656 . . . ergy-storage and http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/14/velkess_flywheel/
[00:11:40] wagnerrp: you can only have one status information script defined
[00:13:03] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: install 0.24-fixes (or, if you can't get that one, any of 0.23-fixes or 0.22-fixes, but 0.24-fixes is preferred) and use its mythtv-setup to upgrade to its schema version, then backup the database (so you don't have to repeat the 0.24-fixes install if something goes wrong later), then install 0.26-fixes and use its mythtv-setup to upgrade to the final schema
[00:13:04] wagnerrp: i didn't initially understand what they meant by flexible
[00:13:27] wagnerrp: basically, just a bunch of fiberglass fabric, without a stabilizing matrix
[00:13:36] sphery: wagnerrp: ah... yeah, I actually run a few, but I just have one "meta script" that calls the others in the order I want
[00:13:39] wagnerrp: that will be tough as hell to balance
[00:13:59] wagnerrp: you can already see how much it's vibrating in the video
[00:14:10] sphery: yeah, it sounds very difficult--otherwise, I'd assume they'd have them
[00:14:52] sphery: I just remembered your talking about flywheels--and about flywheel failures--and wondered what you'd think
[00:14:59] wagnerrp: stable... hah
[00:15:08] ubuntuaddicted: ok, i'm lost. currently I have a .sql.gz backup of my entire mythconverg database which was last 0.21+fixes and I now have a mythtv version 0.26 installed. what do I do?
[00:16:09] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: downgrade to 0.24-fixes, then do http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . ing_database , then run 0.24-fixes mythtv-setup, then create a backup with mythconverg_backup.pl ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore )
[00:16:19] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: then upgrade back to 0.26-fixes
[00:16:28] wagnerrp: it's just not that expensive to filament wind low resin carbon fiber
[00:16:41] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: you may even be able to do that using a "Live CD" of Mythbuntu or LinHES or ...
[00:16:51] sphery: just need any 0.24-fixes Live CD
[00:17:19] sphery: or even just install the old Mythbuntu/LinHes to a small/extra partition on some hard drive temporarily
[00:18:08] wagnerrp: you make a spoked iron core for your motor assembly, wind carbon fiber around it like a spool of thread, and stuff the whole thing in an autoclave
[00:18:32] wagnerrp: the company i used to work for in college built the things
[00:19:05] wagnerrp: the were used for shielding on drive shafts
[00:19:20] sphery: He distinctly said 'autoclave', and as we all know, autoclave means to bluff, heh?
[00:19:36] wagnerrp: when did he mention autoclave?
[00:19:44] sphery: actually, you did
[00:19:57] wagnerrp: oh, it's basically a pressure cooker
[00:19:58] sphery: just made me think of to blave
[00:20:09] wagnerrp: a high temperature oven in a pressure chamber
[00:20:22] sphery: cool
[00:20:35] sphery: or hot, as the case may be
[00:20:39] wagnerrp: cook the stuff at ~600F and 5–10atm, while pulling vacuum
[00:21:11] wagnerrp: i think we ran around 80/20 (carbon/plastic) on our parts
[00:21:13] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, so basically you're saying i need to install a mythtv version .24 fixes, do a full restore from my 0.21+fixes backup, make sure everything is working, then do another backup of that, then install mythtv 0.26 and then do another full restore from the .24-fixes backup?
[00:21:48] wagnerrp: normal CFRP layups done at atmospheric pressure are only around 50/50
[00:21:55] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: s/make sure everything is working/run mythtv-setup and make sure it doesn't give any errors/
[00:22:36] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: there's no reason to run any 0.24-fixes program other than mythtv-setup... you don't need to get 0.24-fixes working--only need to use its mythtv-setup to upgrade your schema to a version that 0.26-fixes knows about
[00:22:53] wagnerrp: you wind it, cook it, cut it, and grind it down to balance
[00:22:58] wagnerrp: it's a very simple process
[00:23:17] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, im sorry, this is confusing
[00:23:22] sphery: wagnerrp: so that was a "non-flexible" flywheel?
[00:23:48] wagnerrp: no, this was just a shield for high speed rotating parts
[00:24:01] mzb: downgrade, import, upgrade
[00:24:06] wagnerrp: we sold them to some company that used them on gas turbines
[00:24:26] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: yeah, I understand... it's definitely not the preferred approach to upgrade--skipping 5 versions in the future puts a lot of risk in the process, and means you have 5 versions of "release notes" warnings/gotchas/todos that you'll have to figure out
[00:24:29] wagnerrp: in the event of a failure, you wanted something strong and robust to contain those rotating parts
[00:25:01] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, if you were on 0.21-fixes, you were on 8.04 right?
[00:25:04] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: but it's a straightforward process once you understand it... just hard to understand if you don't work with mythtv data a lot
[00:25:19] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, i was on mythbuntu 10.04.4
[00:25:42] wagnerrp: the real trouble with a flywheel is energy losses in the conversion
[00:25:45] ubuntuaddicted: i didn't think going from an LTS release to an LTS release would be so bad
[00:25:52] wagnerrp: with a battery, it's AC->DC->AC
[00:25:54] sphery: glad tgm4883 is here... he'll be very helpful at figuring out how to get from there to here (i.e. what versions to use and such)
[00:26:09] wagnerrp: with a flywheel, it's AC->DC->AC->mechanical->AC->DC->AC
[00:26:28] sphery: wagnerrp: interesting
[00:26:34] mzb: ubuntuaddicted: ubuntu's LTS release schedule != mythtv's
[00:26:35] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, you didn't. If you were running 0.21 on 10.04, then YOU did something to do that. 10.04 didn't have 0.21, it shipped with a 0.23 beta
[00:26:53] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: are you sure you have 0.21 database?
[00:27:02] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: what's the name of your .sql.gz file?
[00:27:26] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, mythconverg-1254–20130415084453
[00:27:38] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, 0.21 was in no way available on 10.04 from the Mythbuntu team
[00:28:11] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: 1254 = 0.23-fixes schema version
[00:28:25] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: = congrats, you don't have to worry about any of this...
[00:28:34] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, before I installed ubuntu 12.04.2 and was still running 10.04.4, I did a sudo aptitude show mythtv-backend it showed 0.21+fixes mythbuntu something or other
[00:28:44] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: just do http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . ing_database , then run mythtv-setup from 0.26-fixes
[00:29:21] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: just do the restore and run mythtv-setup and you may be pleasantly surprised
[00:30:09] tgm4883: sphery, pm?
[00:30:30] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: and since you have a backup, the worst-case scenario is that the upgrade will fail and you can always re-restore the backup once you figure out the right process
[00:31:07] sphery: tgm4883: sure
[00:32:05] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, oops, i was running 0.23.1+fixes26863–0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2
[00:33:19] devinheitmueller (devinheitmueller!~devinheit@pool-74-108-14-79.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:33:33] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: cool, will make things much easier for you
[00:34:35] mzb: none of mythutil or mythtranscode functions appear to update the filesize in the db. Do I need to do this manually?
[00:35:15] ubuntuaddicted: ok, so from where I am at right now. I have mythbuntu 12.04.2 and mythtv 2:0.25.2+fixes.20120802.46cab93–0ubuntu1. I already went into mythtv setup and set everything up. do I just perform ythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --filename mythconverg-1254–20130415084453.sql.gz
[00:35:19] mzb: (aiming for a cronjob that performs lossless transcodes if a cutlist exists)
[00:35:57] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, note that doing that will blow away the stuff you just did in mythtv-setup
[00:37:24] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, i am merely trying to get my recordings back into mythtv and my recording schedules, don't I do a full restore for that?
[00:37:37] ubuntuaddicted: sorry I am so confused
[00:38:19] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, well a full restore would be the recommended way, IIRC there is a way to restore just some tables, but I wouldn't help with that
[00:39:27] ubuntuaddicted: dang it, i installed a non-pae kernel and now my window-manager won't start. i am running nvidia-96 module
[00:39:55] ubuntuaddicted: i thought installing a kernel after an nvidia driver install it would automatically make the module for every kernel?
[00:42:03] sphery: mzb: you need to do a seektable rebuild
[00:42:20] sphery: mzb: mythcommflag --rebuild will... not sure about the other duplicates of it
[00:43:18] sphery: ubuntuaddicted / tgm4883 : even a partial restore will erase all of the configuration done in mythtv-setup (and mythfrontend)
[00:43:44] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: meaning if you want to get your recordings/history into MythTV's database, you'll lose the "practice" configuration you just did in mythtv-setup
[00:44:02] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: that said, now you know the process/what to change, so it should be quick and easy :)
[00:44:22] sphery: ("it" = running mythtv-setup and re-doing the configuration you just did)
[00:45:19] mzb: thanks sphery ... I'd actually commented the --rebuild part of my script ... and I'd forgotten why. That must have been the reason.
[00:46:29] sphery: mzb: I hope to clean up the mess of redundancy that's mythtranscode --buildindex/mythcommflag --rebuild/<it's not transcoding nor commflag'ing, so why isn't it in mythutil> user interface
[00:46:40] sphery: just need to make some time for it
[00:47:07] mzb: no hurry ;)
[00:47:28] mzb: the 3TB drive will keep me going for a while ;)
[00:47:42] mzb: until I discover a new way to fill it faster ;)
[00:48:10] mzb: eg: should be getting fibre before Christmas!
[00:48:23] mzb: (assuming they keep to schedule, and their map is correct)
[00:48:56] mzb: I'm within the current build area by about 4–5 houses. If that's wrong I'll probably be waiting years :/
[00:50:00] sphery: mzb: nice... I still haven't gotten a 3TB (and am wondering if I'll have problems with any of my drive controllers--I still have some relatively old mobos)
[00:50:07] sphery: at least older than 3TB HDDs
[00:51:20] mzb: my mythtv MBE is on an Asus M5A88-V EVO so no problems there. The only issue I had was having to used parted instead of fdisk
[00:51:38] mzb: ie: GPT vs MSDOS partition label/table
[00:53:04] sphery: yeah, I'm not yet using GPT on any of mine, either
[00:53:10] sphery: not even sure if my bios'es support it
[00:53:24] sphery: anyway, it feels like it's about time for me to find out
[00:53:31] sphery: (meaning it feels like it's about time for a HDD failure)
[00:53:52] sphery: so I'll probably be buying a replacement before long
[00:56:46] NightMonkey (NightMonkey!~NightrMon@pdpc/supporter/professional/nightmonkey) has quit (Quit: Body blow! Body blow!)
[00:58:06] mzb: yeah, my old 750GB IDE drive appears to be on it's way out, just as I got the 3TB :/
[00:59:21] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, tgm4883 thanks for the help guys. sorting out the nvidia-96 issue so I have a gui then going to perform the full restore.
[00:59:50] sheppard: perfect timing?
[01:09:48] Korny (Korny!~Korny@98.159.29.105) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:11:20] wagnerrp: yikes... bioshock requires 17GB of storage
[01:16:13] ubuntuaddicted: hmmm, mythconverg_restore.pl isn't a command
[01:16:23] wagnerrp: no, it's a perl script
[01:16:35] Korny: evening
[01:16:38] Korny: hmmm bioshock,
[01:16:48] Korny: evening wagnerrp
[01:16:54] wagnerrp: evening
[01:17:06] wagnerrp: nvidia-96? like the old legacy drivers?
[01:17:20] Korny: 1 more weekend of this overnight crap then I get to work m-f 9–5 :)
[01:18:23] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, yes, i know my GFX card is ancient
[01:18:49] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, it's an old GeForce4 MX 440
[01:19:19] ubuntuaddicted: i got that sorted, now I just need to perform the mythconverg_restore.pl I found it finally within /usr/local/mythtv/
[01:19:30] wagnerrp: eew
[01:19:30] ubuntuaddicted: errrr, I mean /usr/share/mythtv/
[01:20:07] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, it's only a backend. frontend is an original apple tv running crystalbuntu 2.0 with xbmc frodo 12.1
[01:20:16] wagnerrp: eewer
[01:20:23] ubuntuaddicted: the PVR functionality is very awesome now
[01:20:56] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, FREE is much cheaper then building a frontend and besides, with the crystal hd card I can play any 1080p you probably can
[01:21:35] wagnerrp: sorta, kinda
[01:21:52] wagnerrp: no hardware decoder will ever be as robust as a good software decoder
[01:23:11] ubuntuaddicted: i am not that knowledgable about that but I would think hardware decoding would be way more robust, way more power, NO?
[01:23:45] wagnerrp: it's hard coded, and they can't possibly hard code every possibility in the codec without having an impossibly gigantic chip
[01:23:56] ubuntuaddicted: like I said, I thankful that CB2.0 exists and it can breath life back into hardware I got for free
[01:24:01] wagnerrp: so they make concessions, and only support the most common versions of the codec
[01:24:11] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, oh, makes sense
[01:27:51] ubuntuaddicted: ok, it said database restore was successful but when I try to access mythweb this is what I get. Fatal Error !!NoTrans: SQL Error: Unknown column 'future' in 'where clause' [#1054]!!
[01:34:19] ** Korny still has bad taste in his mouth from the last time he tried xbmc **
[01:36:27] ubuntuaddicted: Korny, how recent was that?
[01:36:37] ubuntuaddicted: 12.1 Frodo is amazing
[01:38:05] Korny: Fairly recently, it was frodo. THe guide was really slow and unresponsive
[01:38:31] ubuntuaddicted: gosh darn it, i tried the frontend and it says my database schema is old and I need to run mythtv-setup but the frontend keeps trying to restart leaving my system low on memory since I ony have 256MB RAM. arggghhhh
[01:38:54] ubuntuaddicted: Korny, oh, for live tv? i don't use it for live tv. i don't watch live tv. lol
[01:39:03] wagnerrp: why would that leave your system low on memory?
[01:39:11] wagnerrp: once it closes, it releases all the memory it once held
[01:39:23] Korny: ubuntuaddicted: even trying to watch recordings was painfully slow to list
[01:39:24] wagnerrp: making it available for the next iteration
[01:42:09] ubuntuaddicted: Korny, uhhh. even on this ancient hardware I don't notice any slowness
[01:42:33] wagnerrp: you likely don't have a large list of recordings for it to parse
[01:42:33] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, it keeps trying to restart the frontend
[01:43:10] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, i dont know. i have recordings back to 2011 but in the grand scheme you're probably correct. maybe 200 or something
[01:43:13] ** Korny is sitting on over 500 recordings at the moment **
[01:43:35] Korny: I have so many shows that keep the last 10 episodes just for background noise lol
[01:44:04] ubuntuaddicted: wow
[01:44:18] ** mzb is looking forward to an Android *something* that works well on the Android mini-pc's ... atm that's pretty much XBMC ... but it's buggy and massively over-complicated for what I want **
[01:44:41] Korny: Shows like Alaskan troopers, I don't keep every episode, but if I want mindless drivel
[01:44:59] mzb: ie: so that the Android sticks I've given to relatives for our skype network can also be used to remotely watch my mythtv recordings
[01:45:42] mzb: actually ... come to think of it ... that's probably not within the (Australian) law
[01:45:56] Korny: I've been pretty happy using emit to watch mythtv recordings
[01:46:01] mzb: as it's not being recorded by the end user (directly) ?
[01:46:02] Korny: using mythlink
[01:46:08] wagnerrp: android systems locally? or remotely on relative's systems?
[01:46:28] Korny: And emit does have an android client >:)
[01:46:56] mzb: remote android systems
[01:47:33] wagnerrp: at least the way US law is written, the content is only for you and your household (and whoever else might be in the room to view it at the time)
[01:47:46] wagnerrp: it makes no ruling on where it can be watched, merely who can watch it
[01:47:51] mzb: I suspect that you could claim that the remote user is using the system to record their own shows
[01:48:04] clever: i was just thinking of looking at using the rpi as a hardware transcoder/streamer for my android
[01:48:22] mzb: I doubt it'd have enough power
[01:48:26] clever: its got both hardware decode and encode, so it could out-do a desktop
[01:48:41] ubuntuaddicted: there's raspbmc
[01:48:47] Korny: meh it doesn't take much cpu to transcode mpeg2
[01:48:53] ubuntuaddicted: it's a great little media center for the raspberry pi
[01:48:59] Korny: my i3 does it without breaking a sweat
[01:49:04] ubuntuaddicted: same developer as crystalbuntu
[01:49:19] clever: Korny: and i plan to have the transcoding system as a portable one
[01:49:19] mzb: the Android sticks are only marginally more expensive and massively more powerful ... I paid $29 for a dual core RK3066
[01:49:29] ubuntuaddicted: for $35 US dollars the Pi is pretty darn awesome
[01:49:36] clever: using an android tablet as the actual playback device
[01:50:00] Korny: clever why not just use emit or a program like it on the backend?
[01:50:16] clever: not planning to stream purely mythtv content
[01:50:32] mzb: mythlink works for 0.26?
[01:50:45] Korny: mzb: yes
[01:51:24] wagnerrp: why use emit when mythtv has a built-in HLS server?
[01:51:48] wagnerrp: ubuntuaddicted: your old original AppleTV is considerably more capable
[01:51:49] Korny: Its been more stable for me

[01:52:22] wagnerrp: HLS works with the video library too
[01:52:23] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, hence why i didn't buy a Pi for my frontend
[01:52:26] wagnerrp: (i think)
[01:52:37] ubuntuaddicted: what's a HLS server?
[01:52:50] wagnerrp: HTTP Live Streaming
[01:52:53] Korny: wagnerrp: plus the client in bundled with services SUCKS for seeking
[01:53:11] wagnerrp: true, but an android system should have its own client
[01:53:12] Korny: where as the emit client I can seek
[01:53:33] Korny: I'm using emit to stream to my laptop when I'm traveling as well
[01:54:18] clever: Korny: does it also transcode?
[01:54:40] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, but if you have mythweb secured I thought it doesn't work because no browser player interacts with the password prompt. at least I recall that used to be a problem
[01:54:56] ubuntuaddicted: or are you talking about something other then streaming thru mythweb
[01:55:02] Korny: ubuntuaddicted: different feature, connect to 6544 on your backend

[02:00:12] mroe: Looking at the wiki (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythfilldatabase) there is mention that mythfilldatabase is 'automatically' run every 24 hours. Where is that implemented?
[02:00:32] _charly_ (_charly_!kroseneg@sunrise.schmidham.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:01:26] wagnerrp: in the housekeeper code, in mythbackend
[02:02:00] mzb: if enabled
[02:02:36] wagnerrp: mroe: what country are you in?
[02:02:41] mroe: US
[02:02:57] wagnerrp: then schedules direct will tell mythfilldatabase when it should next run
[02:03:04] wagnerrp: rather than blindly running every 24 hours
[02:03:14] mroe: and how exactly is that done
[02:03:20] ubuntuaddicted: so I am just SOL then if it couldn't upgrade the database schema. is there any way to get my recordings back into mythtv?
[02:03:41] wagnerrp: when you download the guide data from SD, part of the response will be the next time to download guide data
[02:06:48] mroe: any thoughts as to why mythfilldatabase is failing: http://paste.debian.net/249813/
[02:07:30] mroe: my best guess is that it is related to the fact the autogen'ed passwd for the database has a '/' in it

[02:08:38] wagnerrp: and it doesn't know how to access the database
[02:10:07] ubuntuaddicted: can possibly anyone help with a database schema upgrade failure? at a minimum, can I get my recordings back into mythtv?
[02:11:16] wagnerrp: sphery would know best
[02:11:36] wagnerrp: i would just read through the code and manually walk it forward, but i don't know the "proper" way to fix such things

[02:13:46] ubuntuaddicted: to import them
[02:13:56] wagnerrp: not really
[02:14:09] wagnerrp: without the database, mythtv has no way of knowing what they are
[02:14:13] wagnerrp: just randomly named files

[02:15:04] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, im saying at least I have a backup of a good database. maybe the jump from 0.23+fixes to 0.25+fixes was too much at once
[02:15:16] mzb: like I said at the outset: I've usually imported the data "by hand" ... it takes a while to get it right
[02:15:24] wagnerrp: it shouldn't be
[02:15:41] wagnerrp: the trouble you're having is from mythvideo getting merged into core
[02:15:50] ubuntuaddicted: wagnerrp, me?
[02:15:51] wagnerrp: somehow you ended up with pre-existing tables

[13:29:07] chronic1: Playback: as long as my video card provides hardware acceleration, cpu shouldn't be a problem (especially since it will be a ~modern processor)
[13:34:16] Seeker`: for the frontend, pretty much
[13:34:22] Seeker`: for the backend, it depends
[13:34:46] Seeker`: The scheduler etc. are big queries and can take a while to run, as well as commflagging.
[13:35:09] Seeker`: For the scheduler, it depends on how many inputs / channels you have
[13:37:07] chronic1: Hopefully I'll be using Ceton card (since there are a few times where I will be recording 4 shows at once).

[17:24:21] chronic1: Wasn't sure if any stats were contained for shows/channels/etc. to more efficiently detect commercials.
[17:24:42] chronic1: contained -> collected
[17:24:43] tgm4883: chronic1, I don't think so. By learning, you would have to manually say "this is a commercial, and here is why"
[17:25:11] tgm4883: chronic1, no, that would probably violate some ToS somewhere
[17:25:38] tgm4883: chronic1, further, different geographic areas could have different commercial length
[17:25:55] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, you would use the find orphans script

[17:29:56] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, ok, it's wants to delete about a dozen recordings but when I check one of them, I see the .mpg file sitting there in the recordings directory
[17:30:25] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, if it's deleting recordings, it is because it's not in the database
[17:30:40] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, if it's deleting records, it's because the file doesn't exist
[17:30:57] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, it shouldn't want to delete a file if a record exists for it in the database
[17:31:07] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, but I am looking at the mythweb entry within my recordings section, so it
[17:31:18] ubuntuaddicted: so it's in mythweb and the .mpg exists

[17:47:39] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, that is the WRONG FILE!
[17:48:03] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, the file that it says is missing is 1012_20101118200000.mpg
[17:48:05] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, gosh darn it. SORRY again
[17:48:42] tgm4883: Whoever develops Slapping over Ethernet is going to be a rich person
[17:48:51] ubuntuaddicted: ok, i guess I have 2 issues I'd like help on. first is that some thumbnails aren't showing in mythweb.
[17:49:21] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, lol. i am really sorry about that. those filenames, the numbers just merge together. lol

[17:51:35] ubuntuaddicted: don't know why it'd be searching for a file from 2010 though as that recording was recorded on 04-04–2013
[17:52:05] ubuntuaddicted: so apparently I have some database corruption from going from 0.23+fixes to 0.25+fixes
[17:52:13] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, I......
[17:52:17] tgm4883: asldvjapo;bdhis'djsasdbg
[17:52:43] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, so it's pretty safe to say that the find_orphans.py is accurate and I just delete those missing recording entries
[17:52:46] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, what is the title/subtitle of the episode in mythweb with the 2013 filename?
[17:53:07] tgm4883: neufeld, yes, can we get a mythtv plugin for this?
[17:53:22] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, sorry, what title are you looking for?
[17:53:31] sphery: 1012_20130404300000.mpg
[17:53:35] sphery: which show is that
[17:53:36] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, the episode title and subtitle

[17:55:32] tgm4883: sphery, you need a bigger clock
[17:55:37] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, sure
[17:55:44] sphery: hehe, I could definitely use those hours in my days
[17:55:46] tgm4883: sphery, but then you need longer clock hands
[17:55:57] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, according to mythweb it's original airdate was 04-04–2013
[17:56:10] sphery: yes thus the 20130404
[17:56:10] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, that was a trick question. "Grey's Anatomy: She's Killing Me" isn't looking for a 2010 file
[17:56:28] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, "Grey's Anatomy – Slow Night, So Long" is the one looking for the 2010 file
[17:56:45] sphery: grey's anatomy she's killing me is 1365123600
[17:57:01] sphery: which is: GMT: Fri, 05 Apr 2013 01:00:00 GMT
[17:57:13] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, oh, lol
[17:57:16] sphery: or, assuming Eastern Daylight Time in the US, Thu 04 Apr 2013 09:00:00 PM EDT
[17:57:25] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, all of this is pointing to mythtv working just fine, and this being a PEBCAK error
[17:57:44] ubuntuaddicted: PEBCAK?
[17:57:52] tgm4883: yes

[17:58:17] tgm4883: to put it bluntly, yes

[17:58:32] Jester86: any of you running mythtv (FE) on a raspberry pi?
[17:58:46] tgm4883: Jester86, why would anyone want to do that
[17:58:56] Jester86: to have a $35 front end?
[17:59:22] Jester86: We have an upstairs tv that is only getting TV via OTA and its own integrated tuner
[17:59:30] Jester86: I'd like a cheap front end for it.
[17:59:35] tgm4883: Jester86, ah right, sorry. I don't know anyone running mythtv on underpowered equipment

[17:59:51] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, ok, can we move onto the other listings that don't have thumbnails?
[18:00:00] Jester86: tgm4883, how would that be underpowered?
[18:00:12] tgm4883: Jester86, have you looked at the specs of the RPI
[18:00:20] Jester86: I used to run mythtv fe on an old p3 box
[18:00:38] tgm4883: Jester86, yes, and?
[18:00:45] Jester86: Not a whole lot but I can't imagine its worse than my first front end
[18:00:59] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, we could. I think there is a way to regenerate though. sphery might know
[18:01:10] Jester86: I guess I'm really curious whether or not it would work.. others online claim to use it for FE and BE
[18:01:37] jbaxter (jbaxter!~jbaxter@jimbax.plus.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:01:38] tgm4883: 700Mhz and half a gig of ram
[18:01:40] ubuntuaddicted: Jester86, look into raspbmc, it's XBMC but made just for the raspberry pi. very capable
[18:01:54] tgm4883: Jester86, your PIII might have been more powerful than that
[18:01:55] Jester86: tgm4883, how much ram do you use on your frontend?
[18:01:58] ubuntuaddicted: Jester86, and with the newest version it can access your backend
[18:02:14] tgm4883: Jester86, I've got 2GB installed. I'd have to check usage
[18:02:29] Jester86: can it handle any sort of 1080i recorded data?
[18:02:47] tgm4883: Jester86, that isn't a good question
[18:02:52] Jester86: tgm4883, if you're only using it as a frontend I doubt you're using much of that
[18:02:53] tgm4883: Jester86, so yes and no?
[18:03:02] sphery: even a 700MHz PIII would probably be at least twice the performace of a 700MHz armv6k
[18:03:22] tgm4883: Does the RPI have a mpeg2 decoder?
[18:03:22] Jester86: well I have an HD homerun and HDPVR for my HD content
[18:03:33] sphery: comparing them clock for clock is like comparing Intel's and Raspberries
[18:03:57] tgm4883: looks like it does
[18:04:08] sphery: Jester86: and frontend uses a ton of memory--for all those bitmap images in the themes
[18:04:19] sphery: not to mention the buffers for decoding and playback
[18:04:20] Jester86: yeah.. it just seems like there are a lot of articles online of people saying that it works fine then I come in here and everyone says it won't work.. yet none have tried.
[18:04:34] tgm4883: Jester86, so it will probably be slow in the menus. Playback might function fine, if you purchase the mpeg2 decode stuff
[18:04:39] Jester86: sphery do you think the ones online are using a different theme?
[18:04:45] sphery: frontend generally uses far more memory than backend

[18:05:19] tgm4883: There really needs to be a more powerful V2 of the RPI
[18:05:21] sphery: "It works fine" = "I'm pretending it's a frontend, when really, I'm just using it as a dumb UPnP player"
[18:05:23] tgm4883: I'd pay more for that
[18:05:25] Jester86: yeah but my original FE had 512 .. thought that was before all of the new themes
[18:05:36] Jester86: we're talking close to a decade ago now
[18:05:41] tgm4883: Jester86, that was also before 0.22 probably
[18:06:04] Jester86: Oh yeah..
[18:06:17] Jester86: I can't remember for sure but I think it was around 2005–2006
[18:06:23] Jester86: maybe 2004
[18:06:37] tgm4883: so that was before the mythui rewrite
[18:06:39] sphery: unless someone has forked MythTV, created an OpenMAX video renderer, and (likely) implemented OpenMAX video decoder, I don't see how anyone could get an RPi to play anything worth playing
[18:07:14] Jester86: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=26022
[18:07:27] Jester86: any thoughts on that?
[18:07:41] Jester86: I admit I don't know as much as I should about this.. which is why I'm coming in here.
[18:07:50] tgm4883: "The mythtv frontend installs fine, but I like the XBMC frontend on raspbmc, so I haven't played with it too much. The backend is working great."

[18:08:26] Jester86: Doesn't XBMC connect to myth BE?
[18:08:32] sphery: so they're likely not using mythfrontend (= why not get a Roku or PS3 or ... that does UPnP) and are either a) using UPnP or b) worse, using HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), which involves having their backend transcode their high-quality, high-resolution, high-definition TV to low-quality, low-resolution, low-definition video on the fly at great expenditure of CPU time
[18:08:48] tgm4883: Jester86, I can't find one video on youtube showing the mythtv frontend on a RPI

[18:09:08] sphery: you can use the RPi as a UPnP client, assuming there's a UPnP client app for it that would work for you
[18:09:12] Jester86: tgm4883.. same issues I'm having
[18:09:17] sphery: but it's /not/ a frontend any more than a PS3 is a frontend
[18:09:34] Jester86: alright.
[18:09:50] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, Jester86 as I said, raspbmc is a great little media center frontend
[18:09:51] Jester86: I do have an old laptop with a broken screen.. hmm
[18:09:58] tgm4883: Jester86, so in other words, you're asking if you can do something that you've read on one web page but can't find any videos on, and the experts in this channel say won't work
[18:10:07] Jester86: perhaps I should repurpose that.. I kind of forgot about it.

[18:11:16] Jester86: tgm4883, I was just curious b/c i'm looking for the cheapest option.

[18:11:40] Jester86: Though at this point I think I'm just going to repurpose the laptop with a bad screen.
[18:11:44] tgm4883: Jester86, I just don't think it will
[18:11:51] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: those may not be missing... at least The Voice and Modern Family are there
[18:12:05] tgm4883: Jester86, which is why I think they need to come out with a new, more powerful module
[18:12:28] Jester86: Yeah, it would be nice. What ever happened to those old Zotac? thin clients?
[18:12:34] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: it's possible others are, too--point to them with your mouse and if you see an outline of a black box, they're there
[18:12:38] sphery: just very black
[18:12:57] sphery: very black usually means you got the "B" image after the keyframe because your seek tables aren't right
[18:13:05] Jester86: I remember that newegg had one for <$100 a couple years ago then all of the cheap ones disappeared. I haven't looked again lately though.
[18:13:09] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, can you help with that?
[18:13:20] sphery: (and, yes, a couple of times things have changed such that you have to re-create those seek tables)
[18:13:24] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, yes, when I put my mouse on it, a box appears
[18:13:53] sphery: yeah, and going from 0.23, I think you'd get hit by that
[18:14:10] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, is it hard to fix?
[18:15:15] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: you'll need to run the mythcommflag --rebuild, as described on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable , on each affected file
[18:15:55] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, any reason it's commercial flag related, I don't use that feature
[18:15:58] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: one option is to just run it on all recordings if you like
[18:16:00] sphery: it's not
[18:16:14] sphery: mythcommflag is just the tool you would use to build the seek table
[18:16:23] ubuntuaddicted: ok, i am running the optimize_mythdb.pl right now
[18:16:54] sphery: anyway, after you do that on the affected file, it will create a better preview image
[18:17:11] sphery: and, once you clear out all the cached copies of the bad one, you should be happy
[18:17:49] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, how would I run it on all my recordings as it appears like more are messed up then there are good ones
[18:18:04] Jester86: tgm4883... yeah I'm thinking it isn't quite worth it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk9Sa51xNNg
[18:18:22] sphery: only way I know is to write a script that does the command once for each recording
[18:18:25] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, it was running fine and now it's just sitting at Analyzed: `mythconverg`.`cardinput`
[18:18:58] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: no, it's now checking/repairing your seek table, which is a huge table, so it will take a while
[18:19:27] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok. thanks
[18:19:45] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, how will I clear out all the cached copies?
[18:19:47] sphery: or, maybe not... actually your channel table would likely be next
[18:19:50] sphery: but just let it run
[18:20:00] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: magic
[18:20:38] sphery: (forced refresh of mythweb page might work... if not, might need to do a: rm /path/to/recordings/*.png
[18:21:07] sphery: but be *very* careful with that, because if you don't have that ".png" or you have a space before it, you'll be very unhappy when you lose all your recordings)
[18:22:01] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, agreed. lol
[18:22:09] sphery: mythtv will realize that you need new previews after you rebuild the seek table, so it should recreate them automatically, but I can't guarantee that MythWeb is asking it for a new one each time--I think it does, now, but won't guarantee it)
[18:23:05] sphery: so, basically, regen the seek table on one specific recording that has a black/blank/mostly-blank preview and then hit Shift-F5 in the browser window and see if it gets a better one
[18:23:09] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, optimization all done. now I have to run the mythcommflag --file %FILE% --rebuild on all the ones affected
[18:23:15] sphery: or Shift Refresh if using Internet Explorer
[18:23:29] jpabq__ is now known as jpabq
[18:23:32] sphery: if that works, then run --rebuild on all the recordings

[18:24:27] ubuntuaddicted: i think I am going to create the userjob so that userjob will show up in mythweb
[18:24:38] ubuntuaddicted: then i can just click it for each file affected
[18:25:58] sphery: that would work
[18:26:20] sphery: it shoudl only take a minute or 2 on each recording
[18:26:22] jpabq is now known as jpabq_
[18:26:26] jpabq_ is now known as jpabq
[18:26:41] sphery: on any decent hardware, you'd be limited by the hard drive
[18:26:56] sphery: but with the user job, you can queue up a bunch of them, so you don't have to actively wait
[18:29:46] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, something weird is happening everytime I open mythweb and then the recordings tab, a dialog pops up that says "WARNING: No Matching Program Found. Showing all programs" is there a way to clear that?
[18:31:20] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: in the top, there's a drop down box for filtering on just one series... select anything in that other than what's currently selected, then let it load the page, then select whatever you want to see
[18:31:31] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, does the queue start on it's own?
[18:31:47] sphery: basically, you had selected a show you used to have and now you've deleted all episodes of that show
[18:32:07] sphery: and, yes, it will--assuming you've enabled the user job on at least one backend
[18:32:27] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, yeap, that was the problem, fixed that. thanks
[18:32:33] sphery: and by "enabled" I mean you've specifically checked the "Allow job 1 on <hostname>" box
[18:32:39] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, oops, enable the user job? lol
[18:32:41] sphery: in mythtv-setup I think
[18:35:59] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, yes, i found it within mythtv-setup. i made the userjob but i forgot to check the box for allowing it on the backend.
[18:38:03] ubuntuaddicted: WOW, it's almost brought this ancient dell dimension 8200 to it's knees. lol
[18:38:58] ubuntuaddicted: i only have 3118k of RAM free
[18:42:03] ubuntuaddicted: one last question, how do i ensure that when I click livetv on a frontend or when using cmyth within xbmc that it's storing the livetv recording on the livetv storage group drive
[18:45:37] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, it says the user job is finished but i still have a black thumbnail
[18:52:22] tgm4883: ugh live tv
[18:52:37] tgm4883: You would have to check the live tv storage drive for the file I guess
[18:53:33] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, yeah, that's what I did and there was no file there. i added the directory to the live tv storage group
[18:54:04] tgm4883: ubuntuaddicted, is that the only directory in the live tv storage group?
[18:54:47] ubuntuaddicted: i can't figure out this thumbnail issue. it's showing up when I click the file within mythweb BUT not in the overall listing page. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ztsD3_PwfC . . . 3%2520PM.png
[18:55:06] ubuntuaddicted: and heres all the recordings page and I did hit shift+f5. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-bK5X2Xcl4d . . . 1%2520PM.png
[18:55:22] ubuntuaddicted: tgm4883, yes, that is the only directory within the live tv storage group
[19:01:42] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: that's the "cached somewhere" thing I didn't know how to fix
[19:02:30] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, so if I do the rm of all *.png files within the recordings directory, they will get remade?
[19:03:00] sphery: (at least that's the likely cause, since you're getting a good preview when you go to details--which probably didn't have a pre-made/cached "large" preview for that show, yet)
[19:03:11] sphery: yes, they will be remade as needed
[19:03:26] sphery: it can't hurt
[19:03:34] sphery: (assuming you just delete pngs :)
[19:03:39] sphery: so worth a try.
[19:03:48] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, what was the command again?
[19:04:13] ubuntuaddicted: also, very weird, I just installed myth frontend within my xubuntu 12.04 install and it didn't create a menu entry. damnit
[19:06:13] ubuntuaddicted: oops, nevermind. i only installed the control-center
[19:06:27] tgm4883: I think I've gone past the knowledge of this sales engineer
[19:07:04] sphery: ubuntuaddicted: just an rm /path/to/recordings/directory/*.png
[19:07:20] sphery: .png is very important
[19:07:43] sphery: might have to sudo, depending on users/permissions
[19:09:24] ubuntuaddicted: sphery, ok, now I just have to wait for them to be recreated? cause they still are black. :(

[19:36:40] ubuntuaddicted: hmm, this thumbnail issue is baffling.
[19:36:55] ubuntuaddicted: i found out my live tv recordings are being stored a directory level up from where I want them.

[20:09:24] adtaylor: I've been fighting trying to interface a mythbackend (ubuntu server) to a XBMC pvr addon (os x) for days now with no luck. Am I missing something big here? Do I also need a mythfrontend running too?
[20:16:50] ubuntuaddicted: no, what version of XBMC are you trying and what is your backend version?

[20:27:25] adtaylor: so I guess that means I'm running 0.25

[20:43:07] chronic1: I can't wait to get the hardware to play around with this....
[20:43:26] ubuntuaddicted: adtaylor, are you sure you're using the correct mythtv user and password to access the database
[20:44:12] ubuntuaddicted: adtaylor, you need to look in the /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml file for the proper password. also, are you sure your backend allows for remote connections?
[20:44:27] ubuntuaddicted: i have to run, good luck. just look into those 2 issues and you should be golden
[20:45:00] ubuntuaddicted: 1. make sure your mysql database mythconverg can be accessed from an external IP address and 2. that your xbmc settings are correct for the username and password.
[20:45:00] adtaylor: ubuntuaddicted: thanks for your time :)
[20:45:25] ubuntuaddicted: no problem. just an FYI, getting help with XBMC is very slim here as many in here run a real mythfrontend

[21:12:15] LTHorn: Hello
[21:20:02] LTHorn: Anyone here use Comcast?
[21:22:13] chronic1: I'm looking to switch to them, and have done a little research on the subject.
[21:22:16] chronic1: Wassup?
[21:22:35] LTHorn: I'm having problems getting quite a few channels to show and I suspect it's due to Comcast's encrypting channels so that mythtv cannot decode them
[21:25:04] Scopeuk is now known as Scopeuk-AFK
[21:25:12] chronic1: Hmm — based on the lists I've seen (and a few replies on AVS) the premium channels are copy protected, but everything else is just encrypted

[21:26:18] LTHorn: well I have an infinitv 4 and when i used WMC i could watch channels like animal planet HD without problems, now all i get is a black screen with like a green scribble at the bottom
[21:26:44] LTHorn: or just garbly gibberish on some other channels
[21:27:03] LTHorn: there seems to be no consistency with what channels i can or cannot watch
[21:27:09] LTHorn: FXHD for example plays just fine
[21:27:43] LTHorn: I don't want to switch back to W7WMC, but if i can't watch half of what I pay for what is the point of using mythtv
[21:29:52] chronic1: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/494227
[21:30:42] chronic1: Looks like you might need to confirm the CCI info for those channels, and then reach out to comcast if it is out of sync with policy (as it can be set by region).
[21:32:26] LTHorn: how do i view the copy status of channels?
[21:38:42] chronic1: LTHorn: I'm guessing there is a hot key to provide that info OSD (or at least it should be in a log file while acquiring a signal)
[21:39:12] chronic1: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ceton_InfiniTV_4 <-- bottom of the page shows potential values
[21:43:00] LTHorn: thanks. I'll look in to that
