[00:24:25] | Zzeiss: | OK, brand new install of the Xubuntu onto the NUC i3. |
[00:24:52] | Kwisher: | again? |
[00:25:03] | Zzeiss: | I've added the PPA, did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; shutdown -r now. |
[00:25:12] | Zzeiss: | What next? |
[00:26:11] | Kwisher: | use the control centre to choose your options |
[00:28:10] | Zzeiss: | As in "apt-get install mythtv-control-center" |
[00:28:13] | Zzeiss: | ? |
[00:28:42] | Kwisher: | mythbuntu-control-centre |
[00:29:26] | Zzeiss: | doing it now. |
[00:30:28] | Zzeiss: | (yes, this is a retry because after a reboot live tv died... couldn't figure out what I'd hosed) |
[00:32:08] | Kwisher: | that could have been easy to fix |
[00:32:45] | Zzeiss: | Maybe. I kicked it around for maybe four hours and decided to cut my losses. |

[00:47:13] | Kwisher: | select your options in all sections |
[00:48:04] | Zzeiss: | (already tried proprietary codec support and libdvdcss2 won't install, with error "local variable 'rootpath' referenced before assignment" |
[00:48:38] | Kwisher: | you can add the restricted-extras package later |
[00:49:12] | Zzeiss: | So what do I *need* to do.... Yes I am recording this so I can update the web page. |
[00:49:54] | Zzeiss: | (hold on, little kid is hungry...) |
[00:50:06] | Kwisher: | it's not rocket science |
[00:52:33] | Zzeiss: | Except that this is my third start-from-clean-install, and I want to get it right this time. |
[00:52:49] | Zzeiss: | Backup and restore – no, not doing a backup or restore. |

[00:53:21] | Zzeiss: | test connection says "OK" |

[01:24:48] | grkblood13: | im having audio issues where when i put it on a live channel the audio will go out of sync and itll eventually get worse. it seems it happens if the video jitters for a second. once i change the channel and go baack the audio will be fine. |
[01:26:14] | Kwisher: | grkblood13: look in f/e audio settings, enable "extra buffering" iirc |
[01:29:34] | grkblood13: | front end you mean? |
[01:29:44] | Kwisher: | yes |
[01:29:46] | grkblood13: | im running the kodi addon and i dont see that option |
[01:30:12] | Kwisher: | then it's a kodi issue |
[01:30:37] | Kwisher: | wrong channel |
[01:31:01] | grkblood13: | what channel supports the mythtv pvr client addon? |
[01:31:11] | Kwisher: | no idea |

[01:43:00] | tgm4883: | grkblood13: my assumption would be the kodi channel |
[01:43:06] | Kwisher: | try it again |
[01:55:57] | Zzeiss: | kill off mythbuntu-control-centre first? Cold-boot? |

[02:01:08] | Zzeiss: | Well, the program is hung... so kill -9 time? |
[02:02:02] | Kwisher: | sure |
[02:06:44] | tgm4883: | MCC hung? That's interesting |
[02:11:18] | Zzeiss: | top doesn't show anything actually running. Looks like a hang, not an infinite loop |
[02:11:33] | Kwisher: | install htop |
[02:12:45] | Zzeiss: | hurm.... "unable to get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock" looks like something is not letting go of the repo db. |
[02:13:21] | Kwisher: | probably mcc |
[02:13:34] | Zzeiss: | already killed mcc |
[02:13:47] | Zzeiss: | it was aptd. |
[02:16:29] | Zzeiss: | and rerunning – a whole slew of errors. Mostly focussed around Gtk2.pm missing. |
[02:19:24] | Zzeiss: | But it seemed to have installed something. |
[02:19:34] | Zzeiss: | Running backend setup now... |

[02:21:45] | Zzeiss: | click save, click next, click next, and it's back to "Country / Language" |
[02:21:56] | Zzeiss: | Been here before. |
[02:21:59] | Kwisher: | you have to edit the config.xml |
[02:22:48] | Kwisher: | do you want me to provide the channel logs form your last visit? |
[02:22:55] | Zzeiss: | I still have them. |
[02:23:34] | Zzeiss: | I would suggest, however, that having to edit one's config.xml instead of having setup "make it right"... is a bug. |
[02:23:55] | Kwisher: | /etc/mythtv/config.xml |
[02:25:41] | Kwisher: | the file in the ~/mythtv/.mythtv needs to match |
[02:28:05] | Zzeiss: | Ok, bug then.... mythtv_backend_setup should copy /etc/mythtv/config.xml to ~/.mythtv/config.xml if the latter isn't already in existence. And maybe even if it is. |
[02:33:00] | Zzeiss: | Because something is putting actively bad data there. That's a bug. |
[02:36:34] | Zzeiss: | OK, "Storage Directories" – what should I put there? |
[02:38:48] | Zzeiss: | (this may have been where I blew it up last time) |
[02:40:25] | Kwisher: | iirc, default is where recordings are stored |
[02:40:40] | Kwisher: | livetv is.... |
[02:41:21] | Kwisher: | both need mythtv to have full read/write perms |
[02:41:43] | Zzeiss: | Aaah, but when I try to exit Mythtv-setup, it complains that "No storage group directories are defined. You must add at least one directory to the Default Storage Group" |
[02:42:03] | Kwisher: | follow the directions |
[02:45:15] | Zzeiss: | I did and it didn't. |
[02:46:20] | Zzeiss: | Specifically, I tried "~/". I created directories like "StoreHere" and "MythStorageHere". I set them to r/w worldwide. Nothing got rid of the error. |
[02:46:35] | Zzeiss: | So I am clearly not understanding what needs to go there. |
[02:46:56] | Kwisher: | put the full path |
[02:47:43] | Zzeiss: | and "/home/myaccount" should be adequate, right? |
[02:48:09] | Kwisher: | like: /home/mythtv/recordings & /home/mythtv/livetv |
[02:48:28] | Zzeiss: | hmmm... yes, it was. Odd... Didn't do that last time. But that's a good thing. :-) |
[02:48:39] | Kwisher: | or whatever user acount or you can also use a separate drive |
[02:51:37] | Kwisher: | just make sure there is plenty of free space |
[03:02:21] | Zzeiss: | 480 Gbytes of .M2 should be enough. |
[03:02:32] | Zzeiss: | But now mythbackend is hung. |
[03:05:03] | Zzeiss: | It starts up running – front end thinks it's connected. But it won't actually do anything, like watch TV. |
[03:05:43] | Kwisher: | add tuners? |
[03:12:22] | Zzeiss: | Added tuners. Added lineups (have an active SDirect acct). |
[03:12:33] | Zzeiss: | Even did the channel scan OK. |
[03:13:17] | Kwisher: | b/e log?? |

[03:27:57] | Kwisher: | livetv not working is usually a folder perm issue |
[03:31:51] | Zzeiss: | It shows as drwxrwxr-x |
[03:32:09] | Zzeiss: | though ... hmmm... maybe should be a:rwx |
[03:33:15] | Kwisher: | do: sudo chown mythtv:mythtv -R /path |
[03:36:13] | Zzeiss: | it's already mythtv |
[03:36:27] | Zzeiss: | I just set it to 777 and now I can stay connected but not getting a lock. |
[03:36:37] | Zzeiss: | Could just be not on a real channel... |
[03:37:56] | Zzeiss: | no, retuning is not getting me anywhere/ |
[03:43:23] | Zzeiss: | And going back into setup shows my SchedulesDirect info and channels are gone. |
[03:45:57] | Zzeiss: | Seems to have lost my tuner as well. "Could not get card info for card /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0Subtype: Unknown error." |
[03:46:05] | Zzeiss: | Well, that explains the tuner problem. |
[03:46:43] | Kwisher: | do you have to load firmware for tuner? |
[03:47:10] | Zzeiss: | No. And didn't before either. |
[03:47:37] | Zzeiss: | It's a WinTV 950Q |
[03:48:23] | Kwisher: | you can use vlc to check your tuner |
[03:50:56] | Zzeiss: | and the network is horked too. |

[15:17:59] | Zzeiss: | Yes, but the tuner is working *now*. The problem seems to be that it would hang after some period of time of unuse. My (unsubstantiated bet) is that the erratic behavior was the EIT crawl; it would keep the tuner active for a fairly long time and that was fooling me; I'd see the tuner start dropping within a couple of minutes of bootup. |

[15:48:08] | Zzeiss: | Good point. Barely worth selling them off. Probably keep them as lappie plug-ins. |
[15:48:32] | Zzeiss: | Ahhh, monitor timeout. Let's see if the tuner wakes up. |
[15:49:28] | Zzeiss: | Tuner wakes up just fine. |
[15:51:41] | Zzeiss: | On the other hand, it might be doing another EIT scan. |
[15:52:38] | Zzeiss: | (how long does an EIT scan take?) |
