[03:05:52] SirScott: mack-: server is in the basement, rpi is on the 2nd floor with the antenna in a window
[03:06:24] SirScott: mack-: but to be honest, i didn't even try the reception...just assumed it wouldn't be good enough.
[03:07:01] simonpatapon (simonpatapon!simon@patapon.lol) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:09:05] mack-: In the past, I would have recommended network tuners for situations like that, but something changed with HD Homerun drivers or mythtv code. Used to be zero problems with them, now I see plenty of problems on forums and occasionally on the m-u list. My personal one went glitchy and unreliable with the v0.27 upgrade and never recovered.
[03:10:42] SirScott: i'm just sitting down to try installing the backend on my server and configuring that as the master, then either:
[03:10:49] SirScott: 1) changing the rpi to be a slave backend
[03:11:27] SirScott: 2) share the USB tuner via usbip and setting the master backend to use that
[03:23:28] mack-: slave backend for the pi would be the way

[03:47:13] SirScott: so when i set the storage directories for the master & slave backends, does this need to be a common location (eg nfs) if my intent is to then have the master backend run the commercial detection while the slave actually records the files?
[03:56:24] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[04:07:38] mack-: I'm not terribly familiar with slave/remote backend config. I would only be reading the wiki: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_Storage_Dir . . . ple_Backends
[04:08:34] mack-: seems like the wisdom is to mount everything on the master and only set storage groups there
[04:10:24] mack-: oh, I read that again. Looks like you just make the mount points and define the storage groups. No need to muck with nfs
[04:10:54] mack-: ^on the master
[04:10:58] SirScott: hey thanks, i hadn't seen that article!
[04:11:50] mack-: I would personally go with Example 2 for a Pi, though, and not use any storage no the Pi.
[04:12:31] mack-: Even the "fast" USB on a new Pi is pretty sluggish
[04:12:52] mack-: and corrupted recordings on an SD won't be fun
[04:14:06] mack-: You're jumping in the deep end for a brand new mythtv user :)
[04:14:58] SirScott: oh i'm having all sorts of fun. right now my master backend is using mythtv 0.29, whereas the pi is using 0.30, so the db sql versions have a mismatch
[04:15:08] SirScott: now to figure out which is easier, upgrading the server, or downgrading the pi!
[04:21:35] SirScott: ok, now both are running 0.30. onwards to the next step!
[04:26:39] mack-: good choice. Most of the Pi work has been very recent, so v30 is likely the better (only?) choice
[04:54:27] psymin (psymin!~psymin@mail.lastbest.net) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[05:14:26] SirScott: alright, that all seems to be working. now i've set master to accept all jobs, and only metadata lookups on the slave.
[05:14:37] SirScott: set a show to record and will check in the morning to see if it flagged the commercials!
[05:16:11] mack-: good luck :) Some networks/shows are more successful than others. I keep a real mythfrontend on hand to fix the commercial detection.
[05:16:30] mack-: on the finished recording
[05:16:59] SirScott: what's a real mythfrontend? does mythweb count?
[05:22:51] SirScott: oh i guess there's mythfrontend, duh :)
[05:28:17] SirScott: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Commercial_detection --> "In v30+, General > General (Jobs) > Commercial detection method in mythfrontend."
[05:28:39] SirScott: not seeing that in mythfronend -> settings -> general, there's no General (Jobs). Where can I find this?
[05:28:59] mack-: pretty sure that's supposed to be mythtv-setup
[05:32:49] SirScott: in mythtv-setup, i see job queue (global), which allows me to specify the mythcommflag cmd... not seeing where I can set what method it uses.
[05:37:50] SirScott: hah, it IS in mythfrontend
[05:38:00] mack-: yeah, I just found it in Video
[05:38:06] SirScott: But it's VIDEO -> General...
[05:38:29] SirScott: and after all that, it's default value seems to be what I want
[05:38:52] SirScott: well, sorry for the bother mack-. Thanks for looking though!
[05:38:53] mack-: honestly, I've never had to change it. It's been fairly decent.
[05:41:35] mack-: btw, the best thing I ever did for my mythtv was to put the database on an SSD. I'm out with that advice. G'night.
[05:41:51] SirScott: mack-: thanks, my server has the db running on one :)
[05:41:55] SirScott: i'm out also, thanks again!
