[00:03:09] TxJorge: Hi, i'm trying to set up a new mythtv installation on Ubuntu 18.04. In trying to get kodi working as a front end on a separate machine, i now get the error message "all tuners are busy" when trying to use the default mythtv frontend on the master backend server. I'm using the hauppauge wintv quadhd usb as a tuner.
[00:15:28] mack: TxJorge: mythfrontend was working before you started testing kodi?
[00:16:07] mack: if so, make sure you press the Stop button to stop playback on your kodi boxes, otherwise playback continues.
[00:16:40] peterbennett (peterbennett!~peter@mythtv/developer/peterbennett) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[00:20:02] TxJorge: i've never gotten playback to work with kodi. it just gives me the error "channel unavailable"
[00:20:08] TxJorge: i've also rebooted both machines
[00:23:43] TxJorge: i can scan for channels in the backend
[00:31:57] mack: has mythfrontend ever worked? That would be the first thing to get working.
[00:38:14] mack: my first instinct since you said this is a new installation is that you've got a user mismatch... a common problem with new users. The user running frontend needs to be in a group with access to video, also
[00:39:07] TxJorge: yes, it had been working after I was fiddling with settings in host address backend setup
[00:39:39] TxJorge: when I started mythbackend setup for the first time, it asked for my user to be added to the video group, which i did manually and logged out and logged in
[00:39:48] mack: do you have EIT enabled on all your tuners?
[00:40:13] mack: that will put them in use all the time
[00:40:36] TxJorge: "use dishnet long-term eit data"?
[00:40:43] TxJorge: that is unselected
[00:43:48] mack: adding kodi as a frontend shouldn't have required any sort of change to the backend :) Maybe revert what you've done, lol.
[00:46:27] GWG: I'm just mildly curious...how much storage space do people allocate for their recordings?

[01:37:55] mack: GWG: I've got 2x4TB, but I don't use it as permanent storage. I watch and delete, or if I want to archive, I transcode and move to kodi library on NAS.
[01:38:48] GWG: mack: I'm overdue to fix transcoding and moving to my NAS. I have 3TB in there, but I'm just behind on doing anything. I think transcoding has been broken for a decade.
[01:39:02] GWG: Thinking of updating the drive, but maybe I'm better off fixing it
[01:39:15] mack: aw crap, looks like I'm down to 1x4TB. Other one spewing SATA errors.
[01:39:39] GWG: I used to do commercial cutting and transcoding back in the HD-PVR days
[01:39:53] GWG: And when I was hooked into my cable box with Firewire
[01:39:57] GWG: Ah, nostalgia
[01:40:13] mack: I'm doing it less and less now with Netflix, Prime, D+.
[01:46:21] GWG: I still like local.
[01:46:35] GWG: But I'm pivoting more into ripping purchased media
[01:49:24] trumee (trumee!~rajlon.dy@223.226.25.46) has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
[01:49:36] mack: I'm literally looking at a meter-high stack of Blu-Rays on the to-be-ripped pile.
[01:49:59] mack: That pile is waiting on HD space, though.
[01:51:12] trumee (trumee!~rajlon.dy@122.172.175.28) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:51:21] mack: Ordering drives, though, it waiting on new server hardware. And that is waiting on spare $$ because I don't want cheap anymore.
[01:59:29] GWG: mack: What's your preferred HD brand/type?
[01:59:42] GWG: I was reading about the WD Red quality issues since I last bought.
[02:01:47] mack: I don't really have a brand loyalty. Seems like models from each company can be duds or have performance issues. Backblaze publishes reliability data on the drives they use in their data center. I usually use that as a guide to start from.
[02:22:45] GWG: I feel like I need to give my MythTV backend some more love.
[02:23:02] GWG: I think the last major thing I did was when I had to fix Schedules Direct
