[15:45:21] jm|laptop: "The mythconverg_backup.pl script will create a database backup, compress the backup using the gzip compression algorithm, and rotate backups (keeping the 5 newest backups)."

[15:45:43] jm|laptop: good job too, I've about 4T of recordings, I wouldn't like 5x copy of those! :)
[15:46:19] bsilvereagle: sphery: thanks
[15:47:10] wfann: OK. I understand that mythconverg_backup.pl will back up the database. But, does that include the recorded programs? Are the recorded programs includeds in the data base or are they referenced in some other place?
[15:47:15] streeter (streeter!streeter@nat/redhat/x-ejyuuowyriwxglra) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:47:51] jm|laptop: wfann: I see. It is my understanding that the script will back up /all/ of the tables in mythconverg, including the 'recorded' table – which has the metadata for recordings
[15:48:44] jm|laptop: the large video files themselves are /not/ stored in the database. The database refers to them, via your storage groups
[15:50:05] wfann: I appologiose for being dense, but I still don't understand. Is the actual recorded program(s) included as part of the data base or does the data base just hold a pointer to a program(s) stored in another place. If the program is tored in another place, does it have to be backed up by some other method?
[15:52:14] runelind (runelind!~my_cool_u@unaffiliated/runelind) has left #mythtv-users ()
[15:52:26] jm|laptop: "Is the actual recorded program(s) included as part of the data base" No. The videos are stored as separate files, elsewhere, depending on your storage group configuration
[15:52:36] wfann: Ahhh! jm|laptop answered my qwestoion whiule I was typing. If the large video files are stored in another place, how does one back them up and then restore them in the proper place after doing a complete bottom up re-install of Mythbuntu?
[15:53:08] jm|laptop: "does it have to be backed up by some other method" There might be a script to do this for you, but it's basically just a wholesale backup operation – like you'd back up your data to an external drive, I guess
[15:53:24] jm|laptop: but – video files of recording are pretty big. Bear that in mind :)
[15:53:48] jm|laptop: wfann: mythtv is actually pretty clever when it comes to rooting out the video files
[15:54:10] jm|laptop: ideally, they should be placed in any of the directories you specify in your Storage Groups
[15:54:33] jm|laptop: that said, it has been known to be clever enough that if it doesn't find them there it will look in other places you've define, like say the Videos directory
[15:55:15] jm|laptop: wfann: backing up the video files can be as trivial as cp -ar /some/storage/directory /some/other/place
[15:55:25] wfann: I understand the size requirement. Ihave (many times) saved my video recordings from /recordings to an external drive. Whould I then just copy the recordings back from the exgernal drive into /recordings? And would the restored database understand that the rocording wee there?
[15:55:57] jm|laptop: -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 5.1G Apr 30 2012 23200_20120430215400.mpg
[15:56:02] jm|laptop: this is what the look like at the fs level
[15:56:19] wfann: (I get to typing and realize that my fingers are not hitting the correct keys. It's embarrassing and annoying)
[15:56:45] jm|laptop: wfann: the database records sort-of meta data – e.g. for that file I just posted it'd "remember" 23200_20120430215400.mpg
[15:57:21] jm|laptop: if you tell the database else where that your storage groups are /recordings/directory1 and /recordings/directory2 it will look in each place in turn until it finds the file with the correct filename
[15:57:55] jm|laptop: if later you hose /recordings/directory1 and /recordings/directory2 and make /new_disk/recordings/new_directory3 and place the file in there – so long as you tell mythtv that your storage groups have changed location – it should be okay
[15:58:14] wfann: If I understand correctly, this metadata is a recorded TV show that I can play in movie player (or some such) as I hae done many times.
[15:58:25] jm|laptop: no
[15:58:30] jm|laptop: I don't think that's correct.
[15:58:41] jm|laptop: meta-data is like "information about a recorded programme"
[15:59:10] wfann: Ahhh. OK. That metadata is what the database saves?
[15:59:13] jm|laptop: what channel it was on, how long it is, a synopsis maybe, is it HD and – importantly – the base filename for the programme e.g. 23200_20120430215400.mpg
[15:59:50] jm|laptop: the /file/ which is called 23200_20120430215400.mpg is something your media player could play – it's just a video file like any other really – and that's located *somewhere* where mythtv knows to look for it
[16:00:48] jm|laptop: the two are separate which very rarely does but can lead to orphans one way or the other – where there's a file that the database expects and doesn't exist or a database entry for a file that doesn't exist
[16:01:09] jm|laptop: but if you don't mess around too much with the internal workings – you shouldn't really ever face that :)
[16:03:59] wfann: I think I understand. (probably not, but hubris intrudes). If I do a mythconverg_backup.pl I get the database backup. But I still have to have all of my video files backed up separately.
[16:04:01] wfann: Understand please that I am predicating this on the idea that I'm doing a full HD scrape and re-installation of Mythbuntu and MythTV.
[16:06:14] jm|laptop: sure. So long as you take a full copy of the database and a full copy of the files and makes sure the new install's storage groups point to wherever you restore the files to, you should be okay
[16:07:33] sphery: wfann: yeah, like jm|laptop said, all you have to do is put the recordings in any directory in any Storage Group defined on your system and they will be found
[16:07:53] jm|laptop: hi sphery
[16:08:07] sphery: the only thing you can't do is move a recording between backends (assuming the backends have separate file systems and don't have access to each others' file systems)
[16:08:41] jm|laptop: s/can't/shouldn't/  ;)
[16:08:53] jm|laptop: reparation aside
[16:09:27] sphery: jm|laptop: hello
[16:09:56] sphery: well, can't do and expect mythtv to find the recording, anyway :)
[16:10:14] jm|laptop: and we don't condone access the database directly
[16:10:23] sphery: wfann: however, that does make a very important point--make the new system (after complete reinstall) use the same host name as the previous
[16:10:37] wfann: OK. I think I've got it.
[16:10:39] wfann: Step 1- Move a backup copy of all of my recorded TV shows to an external HDD.
[16:10:40] wfann: Step 2- do mythconverg_backup.pl Again storing the backup on the external HDD.
[16:10:42] wfann: Step 3- Scrape and reloade the OS (Mythbuntu)
[16:10:43] sphery: because hosts are identified by host name
[16:10:43] wfann: Step 4- Reinstall MythTV.
[16:10:45] wfann: Step 5- Restore the backup database from the exteernal HDD.
[16:10:46] wfann: Step 6- Copy the saved TV recordings to the correct directory.
[16:10:48] wfann: Does this sound right?
[16:10:59] sphery: correct
[16:11:14] sphery: for step 4, use http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . ing_database
[16:11:30] jm|laptop: . o O ( 5 )
[16:11:34] sphery: (as mythbuntu install will put a blank DB in there for you and you want to replace it with yours)
[16:11:40] sphery: er, yeah, for step 5 :)
[16:12:16] sphery: I just happened to be counting with a 0-based index and forgot to convert to his 1-based :)
[16:12:20] jm|laptop: hehe
[16:12:46] wfann: OK Guys. I think I got it. I thank you for your patience and your assistance.
[16:12:47] jm|laptop: that's not the 0th time that's caught you out!
[16:17:49] wfann: Well – it's time to get the daily errands done. Thanks again. wfann out.

[23:41:30] namitutonka: much obliged
[23:41:45] mengo: for example the turbosight card I have is the only one I could find that would do what I wanted
[23:42:29] mengo: any reason why the backend and frontend will be on the same pc?
[23:43:20] namitutonka: A lot of the hardware suggestions/wikis are like from 2005–2008
[23:44:14] mengo: same general rules apply, eg if you plan to record have as much hd space as you can afford
[23:44:24] namitutonka: Back/front simply to cut costs, but it would not absolutely have to be that way.
[23:46:17] mengo: I use mythtv for my video library and recording
[23:46:29] mengo: but if you just want to record this may interest you
[23:46:31] mengo: https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend
[23:46:41] mengo: apparently you can use that with xbmc
[23:46:52] mengo: but I never have much luck with xbmc
[23:47:45] mengo: I have never had mythtv fe and be on the same PC but I cant see it being an issue
[23:48:41] mengo: good server and desktop PC hardware is nice, but to have a single power PC would be just as reasonable but obviously more restrictive
[23:49:13] mengo: anyway, I'm off to bed, I hope I have been of some help, good luck :)
[23:49:16] namitutonka: lots of work has been done to get xbmc working with mythtv. You have redeemed this IRC channel as a support for mythtv wantobe users
[23:49:40] namitutonka: bye happy Thanksgiving
[23:50:04] mengo: I struggle with xbmc on its own, or using it and a network library or with mythtv
[23:50:13] mengo: you too buddy
