| [08:03:06] | mythtragic: | Ahoyhoy |
| [08:03:37] | mythtragic: | any wizards on ? |
| [08:12:35] | |3orya: | i'm just a user |
| [08:23:24] | mythtragic: | I just installed vesion 33 and cant get previews working. What version are you running ? |
| [08:35:22] | |3orya: | I'm using 33.1 |
| [08:37:56] | |3orya: | when you say "previews," what are you referring to? |
| [08:38:14] | mythtragic: | ok cool, Ive been running 29 for 10 years and decided to take advantage of NVDEC so |
| [08:38:51] | mythtragic: | um the preview pane shows a preview of the recorded show |
| [08:39:14] | |3orya: | in full motion video? or just a single frame screen shot? |
| [08:39:39] | mythtragic: | the preview generator in 33.1 doesnt seem to work like in 29 |
| [08:40:37] | |3orya: | I used to run mythtv a decade ago, who knows what version that was, but I thought the preview box used to play a small motion video. |
| [08:40:40] | mythtragic: | frontend logging just logs ,no answer strande... |
| [08:41:02] | |3orya: | but these days, all I get is a single frame in the preview |
| [08:41:32] | mythtragic: | single frame taken a couple of minutes in from the recording |
| [08:42:46] | mythtragic: | yes a single frame, thats what i want, but it just has the placeholder image |
| [08:43:55] | mythtragic: | I compiled from source, overall it records a plays all my tv channels very niely |
| [08:44:03] | mythtragic: | nicely |
| [08:44:30] | Scopeuk: | hmm I believe the backend should do that generation at some point shortly after the recording starts. is there anything in the logs? the thing that comes to mind is not having set a directory to store the images in or permissions issue on that folder |
| [08:44:38] | mythtragic: | is got something to do with playback video profiles |
| [08:45:51] | mythtragic: | well in version 29 the server would generate the preview and save it in the recording folder |
| [08:47:29] | Scopeuk: | to my knowledge that is still how it works. I can't remember if at some point the rules for the folder it is stored in changed |
| [08:47:32] | |3orya: | it still does in 33.1 |
| [08:47:34] | mythtragic: | stepping thru the setup went without a hitch |
| [08:48:12] | |3orya: | it's stored right in the same folder as the full video for me |
| [08:49:02] | mythtragic: | the big difference in 33 is that it uses NVDEC to play the video on the frontend |
| [08:49:34] | Scopeuk: | my 31 machine is the same. mythtragic that shouldn't effect it as that is a front end setting and the backend is responsible for generating the previews |
| [08:49:43] | mythtragic: | I had to create a playback profile for the MPEG2 and H264 file types |
| [08:50:13] | mythtragic: | on the frontend |
| [08:51:09] | mythtragic: | but when i run mythpreview generator it conplains with VideoProfile: No window! |
| [08:51:30] | Scopeuk: | are you able to look at the backend log file typically "/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log" although that will vary system to system and see if there are any errors related to Preview ? |
| [08:51:40] | Scopeuk: | mythtragic interesting, are you runnign that command over ssh? |
| [08:51:46] | mythtragic: | if i run the cmd mythpreviewgen --chanid 10020 --starttime 20230413090000 |
| [08:51:54] | mythtragic: | yes |
| [08:52:03] | Scopeuk: | ok you won't have a display context at that point |
| [08:52:10] | mythtragic: | i can run it on the frontend or the backend |
| [08:52:27] | mythtragic: | i could do that on ver 29 |
| [08:53:46] | mythtragic: | mythtvbackedend logs dont show any preview erros |
| [08:54:03] | Scopeuk: | I suspect you might need to have a display context, if it is using the gpu to decode the video it will need to access the x server that the gpu is connected to. by default over ssh that isn't setup |
| [08:54:23] | mythtragic: | what -v logging command should I use to show previewgenerator errors ? |
| [08:54:42] | Scopeuk: | I suppose you could validate the theory this is nvdec related by using a software decoder profile temporerily to see if that fixes anything |
| [08:54:56] | mythtragic: | Yer my server is an old headless dual core |
| [08:55:05] | mythtragic: | no video card |
| [08:55:23] | mythtragic: | so i think i have to use opengl high quality |
| [08:56:17] | mythtragic: | i ve been looking at the profile data in my 29 database |
| [08:56:45] | mythtragic: | the profile tables are not straight forward |
| [08:57:15] | mythtragic: | pity the installer didnt set the profile when i installed |
| [09:00:00] | mythtragic: | Anyway, I enjoy a good puzzle... |
| [09:00:19] | mythtragic: | Time for dinner, thanks so much for chatting |
