[00:09:00] laga: *snicker*
[00:09:00] laga: Le_Mackeux: debian?
[00:09:00] Le_Mackeux: The verbose mode doesn't show information
[00:09:00] Le_Mackeux: no, i'm on gentoo
[00:10:00] laga: ok. sorry then.
[00:10:00] jdrogers: well, debian and gentoo are close enough
[00:10:00] Le_Mackeux: yes they are
[00:11:00] Le_Mackeux: if you have ideas i'll try it no problem
[00:11:00] LittleWashu is now known as JackBlanitor
[00:12:00] jdrogers: is the backend starting automagically during bootup?
[00:12:00] jdrogers: (or trying to)
[00:12:00] Le_Mackeux: yes
[00:12:00] Le_Mackeux: Segmentation fault all times, even when manually
[00:12:00] jdrogers: and you don't see any errors?
[00:12:00] Le_Mackeux: i mean manually start

[00:14:00] jdrogers: nothing in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log ?
[00:14:00] Le_Mackeux: yes but nothing new
[00:14:00] jdrogers: heh, right
[00:15:00] jdrogers: nothing like an error that says what wrong anyway, eh? :-)
[00:15:00] Le_Mackeux: the Segmentation fault isn't writing stuff in the log file,

[00:17:00] jdrogers: when starting it manually, are you using the init script, or just starting the backend itself?
[00:17:00] Le_Mackeux: tried both
[00:17:00] jdrogers: crappy
[00:18:00] Le_Mackeux: it's wierd, that does show your prompt when typing mythbackend --help ?
[00:18:00] jdrogers: I get a list of valid options
[00:19:00] Le_Mackeux: well i get Segmentation fault
[00:19:00] jdrogers: interesting
[00:19:00] Le_Mackeux: i'd say wierd
[00:19:00] jdrogers: :-)

[00:21:00] Ralph: anyone know how to adjust the guide. It's off by 3 hours
[00:21:00] sarahemm{SA}: Le_Mackeux: weird. i'm running .17 on gentoo here too and have had no problems with it.. built yourself i assume?
[00:21:00] Le_Mackeux: yes

[00:35:00] Kury: Did you have some info on this LIRC thing?
[00:37:00] Le_Mackeux: i'll give up, it's been months that i try tio have this mythtv working without a capture card, just to watch video on my tv and i can't
[00:38:00] Kury: ... what distro are you using?
[00:38:00] Le_Mackeux: gentoo
[00:38:00] Le_Mackeux: 2.6.10
[00:39:00] Le_Mackeux: stable (x86)
[00:39:00] Kury: humm.. that one I don't know..
[00:39:00] Le_Mackeux: u know debian? it's close
[00:39:00] Kury: whats your capture card?
[00:39:00] Kury: debian... (some what)
[00:39:00] Le_Mackeux: i don't have one
[00:40:00] Le_Mackeux: i have no capture card, i want to use mythtv only for mythvideo and mythdvd
[00:40:00] Kury: OOO.. never mind.. I miss read your statement above...
[00:40:00] Le_Mackeux: np
[00:40:00] Kury: ya I don't know..I don't use myth..
[00:40:00] Le_Mackeux: oh
[00:40:00] Le_Mackeux: what do you use to watch divx on your tv? do you?
[00:42:00] JackBlanitor: anyone know how to enable loop?
[00:42:00] Kury: mplayer...
[00:42:00] Kury: or gmplayer...
[00:42:00] Kury: I just do it the old fashion way..
[00:43:00] Le_Mackeux: well, the computer in close to the tv and i'd like noobs to be able to watch tv thrue a menu lyke mythtv have

[00:56:00] Le_Mackeux: allright, any more idea on where 2 look?
[01:00:00] JackBlanitor: o\
[01:00:00] Le_Mackeux: mmm i realised that i had nvidia in my use flag and i have an ati, i'll try recompiling it
[01:02:00] jdrogers: Le_Mackeux, yeah, that might help, and also perhaps try running the backend setup program before running mythbackend
[01:02:00] jdrogers: Kury, I'm back now too :-)
[01:02:00] Le_Mackeux: it's mythsetup right?
[01:02:00] Kury: K
[01:02:00] Kury: did you have some lirc knowlage?
[01:02:00] jdrogers: or.. I think its the setup program.. hangon
[01:03:00] jdrogers: ummm
[01:03:00] jdrogers: oh
[01:04:00] jdrogers: '/path/to/mythtv/setup/setup'
[01:04:00] Kury: I'm not running myth..
[01:04:00] jdrogers: I was typing that and xchat wasn't sending it :-)
[01:04:00] Kury: just lirc
[01:04:00] jdrogers: Kury, yeah, I was still trying to answer Le_Mackeux
[01:05:00] jdrogers: ok so with the lirc thing.. remind me what your problem is?
[01:06:00] jdrogers: I had lots of lirc issues, but finally got things working last week
[01:06:00] Kury: I have a Pinnacle Reciever & remote... and I made a config using irrecord and it works fine..
[01:06:00] jdrogers: oh yeah
[01:06:00] Kury: but.. I want to use my universal (non learning remote insted)
[01:07:00] Kury: because the pinnacle remote design is horrible..
[01:07:00] jdrogers: I remember now
[01:07:00] Kury: question is... do we have a solution..
[01:08:00] jdrogers: so the thing with lirc is there are 2 config files.. /etc/lircd.conf which interprets the hardware signals and sends keys, and /home/username/.lircrc which tells what things shoudl be sent to what programs
[01:08:00] sarahemm{SA} (~sarahemm_@HSE-Toronto-ppp167019.sympatico.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:08:00] sarahemm{SA}: hihi
[01:09:00] jdrogers: so if you look in /etc/lircd.conf you will see what button presses are registered to what 'signals'
[01:09:00] jdrogers: if you change remotes, this is what you need to change
[01:10:00] jdrogers: the .lircrc file is just a mapping between lirc and mythtv or whatever other program
[01:10:00] Kury: ya.. and thats why I have been trying to do..
[01:10:00] Kury: I'v only been dealing w/ the /etc/lircd.conf and the irw,lircd, and irrecord programs
[01:11:00] Malebolge (~Malebolge@c-24-6-31-45.client.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:11:00] jdrogers: ok
[01:11:00] jdrogers: I just remember someone saying something about .lircrc
[01:12:00] Kury: ya.. I'v never even touched that file though (if it exists on my system)
[01:12:00] zuralin: its only used if you want/need each user there own individual settings
[01:13:00] Kury: K
[01:13:00] zuralin: each user to have there*
[01:13:00] jdrogers: Kury, so you have choosen a remote for the universal to emulate..
[01:13:00] jdrogers: and then irw is reporting the incorrect keys, or what?
[01:13:00] Kury: ya.. I just picked some randome remote.. for a brand I don't have..
[01:14:00] jdrogers: and is irw working?
[01:14:00] Kury: when I do the irrecord.. it makes me a config file.. but when I put it in place and restart lircd & run irw...
[01:14:00] Kury: it reports several keys as all the same..
[01:14:00] jdrogers: oh
[01:15:00] jdrogers: maybe the particular remote you choose to emulate is a bad choice or something
[01:15:00] Kury: my understandings were that the Pinnacles Serial receiver will work w/ any remote..
[01:16:00] jdrogers: yeah, it should
[01:16:00] Kury: I don't think so.. I have tried about 30 different ones..
[01:16:00] jdrogers: but perhaps the remote you are emmulating has signals that are hard for the reciever to differentiate
[01:16:00] Kury: do we know anyone who can confirm this about the pinnacle hardware?
[01:16:00] jdrogers: oh,
[01:16:00] jdrogers: I take it the universal won't emmulate trhe pinnacle remote?
[01:17:00] Kury: well.. any suggestions on what I should set the universal remote too?
[01:17:00] Kury: no.. its not a learning remote :(
[01:17:00] jdrogers: ah
[01:18:00] jdrogers: did you compile lirc, or use a binary package?
[01:19:00] Kury: compiled it from scratch..
[01:20:00] Fuzz (~t@66.169.220.149) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:21:00] jdrogers: you could maybe try picking one of the remotes from the lirc page with a premade lircd.conf file and set the universal to that remote
[01:21:00] jdrogers: http://www.lirc.org/remotes.tar.bz2
[01:22:00] jdrogers: that would at least avoid any issues that irrecord might be casuing
[01:23:00] Kury: I'v done that...
[01:23:00] jdrogers: bummer
[01:23:00] jdrogers: maybe it acually is a pinnacle hardware thing
[01:24:00] Kury: it doesn't really work... it will sometimes detect none... sometimes it will detect some of the buttons...
[01:24:00] Kury: well... I need to find out because this is already the third one I have boughted and I'v had problems w/ all of them...
[01:24:00] Kury: some I'm starting to doubt that its the receivers...
[01:24:00] jdrogers: yuck
[01:24:00] Kury: ya..
[01:25:00] jdrogers: yeah, probably not then
[01:27:00] Kury: Any more ideas?
[01:30:00] ** jdrogers is thinking **
[01:35:00] jdrogers: Kury, if you use ircat instead of irw, you could check that the strings are different
[01:36:00] jdrogers: I would say if the strings are the same, its likely a hardware issue
[01:37:00] Kury: ... do I have to pass ircat any arguments?
[01:37:00] Kury: or... how do I pass them..
[01:37:00] jdrogers: umm..

[02:02:00] schmots: If I pause live tv and then during a commercial break I want to go back to fully live.. how? I can only get within 10 seconds of real time.
[02:03:00] schmots: I know I can change channels and be back, but I don't want to have to do that.
[02:03:00] Le_Mackeux (~Le_Mackeu@toronto-HSE-ppp4016138.sympatico.ca) Quit ("l")
[02:05:00] sarahemm{SA}: you're never *quite* 'fully live' to begin with..
[02:05:00] schmots: oh?
[02:06:00] sarahemm{SA}: myth records it, then plays back.. so you're always slightly lagged.
[02:06:00] schmots: is that way channel changing takes a few seconds... a buffer?
[02:06:00] sarahemm{SA}: yeppers.
[02:06:00] schmots: quase interesting... thanks.
[02:06:00] sarahemm{SA}: that's the way it's 'live', but still lets you rewind/pause/etc.
[02:07:00] schmots: I just got my mythbox up and running today.. the pvr-350 was my reward to myself for earning my LPI cert
[02:07:00] sarahemm{SA}: ahh, congrats :)
[02:07:00] sarahemm{SA}: myth is awesome.
[02:07:00] sarahemm{SA}: iirc.
[02:07:00] sarahemm{SA}: err, imho.
[02:07:00] schmots: Yeah.. I find it cool.
[02:08:00] schmots: and with the 350 I am running it on a p2 400
[02:08:00] ** sarahemm{SA} been running it for a few years now, can't imagine watching TV without it :) **
[02:08:00] sarahemm{SA}: ahh. we're running a plain bttv card here so we have a 1.7ghz to do mpeg4... eventually we'll get a pvr-X
[02:08:00] schmots: you have one advantage over me though...
[02:08:00] schmots: dvd playback
[02:09:00] sarahemm{SA}: ahh *nods*
[02:09:00] sarahemm{SA}: that's just the backend server tho
[02:09:00] sarahemm{SA}: we don't watch on that box itself, so dvd playback isn't really an issue.
[02:09:00] schmots: ... so you have an nvida tv out box or something?
[02:09:00] sarahemm{SA}: using PVR-X cards you have the advantage of being able to use multiple cards :)
[02:09:00] Ralph: I have a silly question
[02:10:00] schmots: no silly questions.. just stupid answers.
[02:10:00] Ralph: I have a pvr 500 and have been trying to get it running for a couple days
[02:10:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: no, the MythTV backend sits upstairs in the server cluster, the frontend is downstairs with the tv, a seperate machine.
[02:10:00] schmots: sarahemm nice.
[02:10:00] schmots: Ralph 500 support is iffy
[02:10:00] sarahemm{SA}: my partner and I both have frontends on our laptops, and we have one running on an XBox for general use.
[02:10:00] schmots: www.wilsonet.com has some howto bits on it though.
[02:10:00] Ralph: I finally managed to capture static using cat /dev/video > test.mpg
[02:10:00] sarahemm{SA}: Ralph: heh. it sorta kinda sometimes works :)
[02:11:00] Ralph: and now when I go to Watch TV I get nothing but static
[02:11:00] schmots: When it has full support it will rock.. duel internal tuners.
[02:11:00] sarahemm{SA}: *nods* the driver isn't stable or complete or tested well yet Ralph.
[02:11:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: yep. going to wait until it's stable and then pick one up i think. replace the bttvness
[02:11:00] Ralph: I just realized it's recording a show and I can playback with video and audio
[02:12:00] Ralph: if I can record, why not just watch live tv
[02:12:00] schmots: sarahemm.. yeah thats the only reason I picked up the 350 and not the 500
[02:12:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: ahh.
[02:12:00] schmots: Ralph what are you using for your tvout?
[02:12:00] Ralph: computer
[02:13:00] Ralph: I haven't hooked up a tv to this yet, just want to use computer monitor for now
[02:13:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: our backend only has one PCI slot, so two tuners would be really nice :)
[02:13:00] schmots: Ralph whats your video device?
[02:14:00] schmots: /dev/video?
[02:14:00] Ralph: yes and /dev/video1
[02:14:00] schmots: do a ls -la /dev/video?
[02:14:00] schmots: oh cool
[02:14:00] Ralph: ls -la /dev/video1
[02:14:00] Ralph: crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 1 Mar 31 22:16 /dev/video1
[02:15:00] schmots: mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
[02:15:00] schmots: with video1 for you
[02:16:00] schmots: do you see anything?
[02:16:00] schmots: run this first to change channels
[02:16:00] schmots: /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
[02:16:00] Ralph: continuous loop of static, black, static, black
[02:16:00] schmots: ahh.. bout 20 to 50 of those?
[02:16:00] Ralph: I just closed mplayer
[02:17:00] schmots: umm no.. thats a frambuffer error.. but your not buffering.
[02:17:00] schmots: have you tried changing channels?
[02:17:00] schmots: what distro by the way?

[02:18:00] Ralph: I can change channels while watching live tv but all channels give me static
[02:18:00] schmots: ahh.. yeah.. I have read the knoppmyth doesn't have any support for the pvr-500 and since its just debian... even unstable doesn't have an ivtv driver that runs the 500.. if you can record tv.. more power to you.
[02:19:00] schmots: Plan to do anything else with this box other than myth?
[02:19:00] Ralph: i've installed the ivtv-0.3.2q drivers
[02:19:00] schmots: take a look at www.wilsonet.com ... he has a section on the pvr-500
[02:19:00] Ralph: this is my main machine with Windows, Slack, LFS, and knoppmyth
[02:20:00] schmots: ... You run slack, but you choose an autoinstall for myth?
[02:20:00] Ralph: I'm just attempting to get it working before I build a final pvr machine
[02:20:00] Ralph: just figured it'd be the fastest way to get myth running
[02:20:00] schmots: I am a gentoo/debian man... I went with fedora core 3 just cause the documentation is so strong on that distro.
[02:20:00] Ralph: I plan to use slack later and compile from source
[02:21:00] Ralph: I actually use LFS the most tho
[02:21:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: it runs nicely on gentoo :)

Also went up to KDE 3.4. Anyway... when I run mythtvsetup, I can't select the buttons. It asks if I want to clear my card settings, and when I hit Enter or Space the button goes black, but doesn't do anything. Same thing if I run mythfrontend when I try to exit. I hit ESC, bu
[02:27:00] lane: Enter to select Yes or No makes the button black, but doesn't do anything. Has anyone encountered this before?
[02:30:00] sarahemm{SA}: i have on one frontend, with the exiting thing...
[02:30:00] sarahemm{SA}: all other frontends and backend are fine tho, so i'm not sure what causes it =-/
[02:30:00] lane: hmm...
[02:30:00] lane: kind of makes running mythtvsetup impossible
[02:31:00] lane: don't suppose you have KDE 3.4 on the problem box?
[02:31:00] Ralph: that ptune-ui.pl changed the channels of my recording so at least I can watch live tv if I record all the time :)

[03:00:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: heh, ours is in a small-form-factor case (chyang-fun) too. one PCI, one AGP.. that's why a dual-tuner would be nice, with only one PCI slot..
[03:00:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: not too much... sometimes tho ;)

[03:51:00] Beirdo: hehe
[03:51:00] sarahemm{SA}: i'm doing that after i get mysql emerged.
[03:51:00] Beirdo: that one's the killer
[03:51:00] sarahemm{SA}: qt will be a.. what, 8h emerge?
[03:51:00] ** sarahemm{SA} remembers doing this on the frontends.... **
[03:51:00] Beirdo: oh, duh, after mysql makes sense :)
[03:52:00] Beirdo: I'd imagine 8h would be about right
[03:52:00] sarahemm{SA}: it's a duron 700... maybe longer.
[03:52:00] sarahemm{SA}: we'll see.
[03:52:00] Beirdo: oh JEEZ
[03:52:00] schmots: mysql yeah... a long emerge
[03:52:00] sarahemm{SA}: Beirdo: meow?
[03:52:00] poonj: hey guys..
[03:52:00] schmots: try openoffice.
[03:52:00] schmots: my emerge took 12 hours
[03:52:00] poonj: where can I get Video/Frequencies.pm for the ptune.pl in ivtv?
[03:53:00] Beirdo: sarahemm{SA}: does that motherboard take Athlon XP Mobile?
[03:53:00] sarahemm{SA}: Beirdo: not likely. this is Old :)
[03:53:00] schmots: poonji you mean your /dev/video?
[03:53:00] Beirdo: oh. heh
[03:53:00] sarahemm{SA}: i need to get a new mobo for it soon..
[03:53:00] sarahemm{SA}: 100mhz fsb on it.. heh.
[03:53:00] Beirdo: I may still have a Duron 800 kicking around if you want a small upgrade
[03:54:00] poonj: to use ptune.pl, I need the Frequencies.pm module
[03:54:00] poonj: is that something that I need to dwnload?
[03:54:00] schmots: don't know.. I took the easy way out with myth...
[03:55:00] schmots: fedora core
[03:56:00] gorillapond: The only other issue I'm having is that although ALSA works great, and Arts works if I enable it, MythTV will NOT play any sound.
[03:57:00] Beirdo: jeez, how did I manage to rebreak ASF?
[03:57:00] dopester: Beirdo: yes I am now
[03:57:00] gorillapond: I thought the 350 recorded sound without a line-in cable to the audio card
[03:57:00] schmots: yeah it does
[03:57:00] Beirdo: dopester: could you record me a 1080i segment 1min long again?
[03:57:00] schmots: but it outputs that sound thourh its own output.
[03:58:00] gorillapond: hmm.
[03:58:00] gorillapond: I had it working in debian great, without its own output.
[03:58:00] Beirdo: I'm putting aspect ratio support into nuvexport, and need testing recordings :)
[03:58:00] gorillapond: Unless it was some crazy ivtv that made it possible, I dont know how I did it.
[03:58:00] schmots: I hope its just today casue of the timeshift... but my program guide has too many errors in it.
[03:59:00] schmots: Also is there anywhere I can find a good remote contorl howto.. I want to customize mine.. but mythtv.org doesn't have much.
[03:59:00] Beirdo: have the really old test recordings from way back when you were first getting air2pc working
[03:59:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: ooh right, time change..
[03:59:00] schmots: gorillapond... is your gnome/kde sound server running?
[03:59:00] gorillapond: No, i killed it.
[03:59:00] Beirdo: hmmm. deinterlacing 720p is dumb :)
[04:00:00] gorillapond: and I can play sounds through regular methods (aplay)
[04:00:00] schmots: I have tried to record a couple things that wound up being wrong.. and some shows it shows as a little stick.. that should be an hour.. then the rest of it is an hour ahead
[04:01:00] dopester: beirdo: how about tomorrow :)
[04:02:00] Beirdo: sure
[04:02:00] Beirdo: if you could grab one at some point...
[04:02:00] Beirdo: :)
[04:02:00] Beirdo: I'm testing with 720p for the majority of this as the 1080i I have is borked

[04:06:00] schmots: mount /dev/hda2 /mnt

[05:04:00] Beirdo: oh yeah, they have one up there now
[05:04:00] sarahemm{SA}: yeppers.
[05:04:00] sarahemm{SA}: just north of finch :)
[05:04:00] ** topping has had so much fun with this micro ATX that it's time to build a backend with a SATA RAID **
[05:04:00] Beirdo: I go to the one College & Spadina
[05:04:00] sarahemm{SA}: generally has more stock than the downtown one too, and much quicker service.
[05:04:00] sarahemm{SA}: Beirdo: i do if i'm going from work, but they're so busy all the time it's a pain.
[05:04:00] Beirdo: that doesn't take much
[05:04:00] sarahemm{SA}: Beirdo: i know :P
[05:04:00] Beirdo: don't ever go there if you are in a hurry
[05:05:00] sarahemm{SA}: *nods* the north york one is much better in that respect.
[05:05:00] Beirdo: cool
[05:05:00] sarahemm{SA}: plus it's dangerously convienent when i need something like an extra tuner card for devel work quickly ;)
[05:05:00] Beirdo: but I'd have to take the subway all the way to Finch...
[05:05:00] sarahemm{SA}: true. it's a little far for you :)
[05:05:00] dmorrigan: Anyone?
[05:05:00] sarahemm{SA}: nice walking distance for me.
[05:06:00] Beirdo: anyone what?
[05:06:00] gorillapond: dmorrigan: Are you sure lirc starts at boot?
[05:06:00] dmorrigan: Next question if I may: lirc crashes when I run irw to test my remote. I don't have the /dev/lirc device. How can I create it?
[05:06:00] sarahemm{SA}: dmorrigan: RTFM :)
[05:06:00] Beirdo: no lirc for me... next?
[05:06:00] dmorrigan: gorillapond, Yes it starts
[05:07:00] gorillapond: hmm. I manually created the /dev/lirc entry too, but i dont think thats what fixed it.
[05:07:00] wswanson: Beirdo: quick question you might know the answer too. I recently lost my latest database during a bad CVS load... so I reset (after proper backup). Is it enough to copy the recorded* table inserts to keep old recordings?
[05:07:00] Beirdo: sonvabitch, canadacomputers has PVRx50 now
[05:07:00] wswanson: I am about to try it regardless. ;)
[05:08:00] Beirdo: I think so, not sur
[05:08:00] Beirdo: e
[05:08:00] wswanson: we'll see soon — will report back in a few minutes
[05:08:00] sarahemm{SA}: dmorrigan: create the device with mknod.
[05:10:00] dmorrigan: I see that. Just created and going to check the remote
[05:15:00] gorillapond: Thanks for the help, all.
[05:15:00] wswanson: ok, I did this with the exception of recordedmarkup, for which I followed with a mythcommflag --rebuild -all --hogcpu

[05:23:00] [[bc90021]]: actually, I am getting the audio first, and then the picture catches up, and then the audio echoes several times before dying
[05:23:00] Beirdo: [[bc90021]]: RTFM :)
[05:23:00] Beirdo: you need to setup the mixer right
[05:23:00] [[bc90021]]: Beirdo: I'm already reading there ;)

[05:25:00] mishehu: want to make sure it's still allowing inbound.
[05:25:00] Beirdo: yup
[05:25:00] mishehu: schmots: it means it will expire on 07/02/05...
[05:25:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: you need to fill out a survey every few months to keep your subscription going.
[05:25:00] Beirdo: your music on hold is borked though
[05:25:00] mishehu: you'll need to lie to them again
[05:26:00] mishehu: Beirdo: whats borked about it?
[05:26:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: they email you when you have to, you go to the site and fill out a survey about how you use their product, and then it renews it for you.
[05:26:00] Beirdo: shouldn't I have moh while waiting for more conference users?
[05:26:00] mishehu: Beirdo: they might have changed the defaults between versions.

[05:28:00] schmots: I have rebooted.. I have re filled... its still off
[05:29:00] schmots: the 11:30 show... should be the 12:30 show.
[05:29:00] sarahemm{SA}: looks fine to me
[05:29:00] sarahemm{SA}: zap2it may be messed up only for certain providers or somesuch
[05:30:00] Ralph: my program guide was off by 5 hours
[05:31:00] Ralph: is still off
[05:32:00] schmots: crap.. the program guide was one of the things I was looking forward to it the most
[05:33:00] sarahemm{SA}: schmots: did it just break today, or was it broken before?
[05:33:00] schmots: before is today
[05:33:00] schmots: and it was right this morning/afternoon
[05:33:00] schmots: today is my first day with a working myth box
[05:34:00] schmots: it was right before I re-editid my zap account.
[05:34:00] sarahemm{SA}: ahh ok...
[05:34:00] sarahemm{SA}: hrm.
[05:34:00] sarahemm{SA}: well, it might be beacuse of the timechange, or it might be because of the offset being set wrong..
[05:35:00] schmots: yeah.. but I can't find the offset config anymore.
[05:35:00] schmots: its gone.
[05:36:00] sarahemm{SA}: you're in mythsetup, under the grabber config, and it's not there?
[05:38:00] schmots: no grabber.
[05:38:00] schmots: general, capture, video source, input connectors, channel editor
[05:40:00] sarahemm{SA}: err, wherever you set up the grabber :) i can't remember which, haven't run mythsetup since the xmltv->labs changeover...
[05:40:00] sarahemm{SA}: video source maybe?
[05:41:00] [[bc90021]]: Beirdo: well, I did everything the guide and you said, and nothing has changed
[05:41:00] [[bc90021]]: if I mute line in, I get no sound, even when set to capture
[05:41:00] [[bc90021]]: if it's not muted ,then I just get sound ahead of the picture, and then it echoes
[05:42:00] schmots: sarahemm.. zap2 setup is there.

[06:01:00] poonj: is there a difference?

[06:55:00] topping: what are you looking for?
[06:55:00] topping: specific motherboard serial numbers?
[06:56:00] Tarantulafudge: topping, audio/video cards

[13:57:00] zamboni: that woould be cool
[13:57:00] fatmatt: whats the time zone issue?
[13:57:00] zamboni: wireless TV what a concept
[13:57:00] schmots: fatmatt program guide is an hour fast.
[13:57:00] schmots: i.e. it is 9am now.. but its showing shows that should be at 10, yet marking them at 9.
[13:58:00] schmots: and the show I am watching is makred at 8am
[13:58:00] zamboni: wonder if restarting the backend would help
[13:58:00] zamboni: ??
[13:58:00] schmots: I have restarted the backend... the frontend.. the server..
[13:58:00] fatmatt: theres an option you can pass to either tv_grab_xx or mythfilldatabase that offsets the time I think, I had a prob like that ages ago
[13:59:00] zamboni: anyone here given freevo a shot?
[13:59:00] zamboni: I fgot myth working
[13:59:00] zamboni: but Id like to try freevo
[13:59:00] schmots: only mythfilldatabase offset I can find is about days.. not hours.
[14:00:00] schmots: I have googled on this till my eyes burn... I remember the setting was in a gui... but now I can't find it anymore.. in any configs.
[14:00:00] schmots: whats the best way to wipe out your mythtv database and start over?
[14:00:00] zamboni: fdisk
[14:00:00] zamboni: lol
[14:00:00] fatmatt: I've got a frontend on my laptop, when I use the wireless network on it the video is crap. Wired is fine,
[14:00:00] schmots: its a mysql database.. has to be an eiser way.
[14:01:00] fatmatt: schmots: just a sec I'll check something
[14:01:00] schmots: wireless network has less through put than wired.
[14:01:00] schmots: even a wireless G is only half the throughput of 10bastT connections.
[14:01:00] fatmatt: yeah, but wireless should be about enoigh wondering if anyone else is using one

[14:05:00] zamboni: wireless tv what a cncept
[14:05:00] zamboni: no not really
[14:05:00] zamboni: I like the idea
[14:06:00] zamboni: but thinnk of it: private channels over 802?
[14:06:00] schmots: any way to wipe the mythfilldatabase results completely and totally redownload them all.
[14:06:00] zamboni: kinda cool
[14:06:00] zamboni: so no fatmatt I not pullin your chain
[14:06:00] zamboni: but the idea is amusing
[14:07:00] fatmatt: schmots, theres a table in the database that holds all the program data, I thought that re-running mythfildatabase would overwrite though

[14:09:00] zamboni: if you could sent it in the clear?
[14:09:00] fatmatt: and in Aust, 2.4GHz is used for amatuer tv braodcast as well,
[14:09:00] zamboni: amature as in HAM?
[14:10:00] fatmatt: zamboni: sort of, the wireless group I used to be involved in had a member who was building a station
[14:10:00] zamboni: cool
[14:10:00] fatmatt: no idea wht he was planning to broadcast
[14:11:00] zamboni: old reruns maybe?
[14:12:00] zamboni: think of ot though: you could have your own local, and I mean really local tv channel
[14:12:00] fatmatt: that would be worth the investment :/

[14:13:00] fatmatt: 2.4 GHz though, nobody would be able to watch without a set top box.. probably expensive
[14:13:00] zamboni: sort of furturistic
[14:13:00] zamboni: well yeag biut those that can will make their own
[14:14:00] fatmatt: be easier to stream something over a wireless network,
[14:14:00] fatmatt: tv for geeks
[14:14:00] zamboni: hmm I guess...streaming or TV as long as its wireless
[14:14:00] schmots: the xmltv time offset didn't fix it.. I even stoped the frontend and the backend.
[14:14:00] zamboni: and free from corporate control
[14:15:00] fatmatt: few cities have wireless networks, got a base to start
[14:15:00] fatmatt: quite a few...
[14:16:00] ** zamboni nods **
[14:16:00] fatmatt: schmots: whats your location?
[14:17:00] fatmatt: maybe check the time zone information in the OS
[14:17:00] zamboni: good idea
[14:17:00] schmots: I did.
[14:17:00] schmots: its right
[14:17:00] zamboni: ntpd: is it running?
[14:17:00] schmots: I am in VA EST time
[14:17:00] schmots: yeah.
[14:18:00] fatmatt: can you fidge it by moving your time zone to one thats an hour different?
[14:18:00] zamboni: so the issue sounds its the way the db server handles the date maybe?
[14:18:00] schmots: its the way the db records the time from zap2it...
[14:19:00] zamboni: yeah
[14:19:00] fatmatt: maybe the xmltv server has something weird in its time zone config?
[14:19:00] zamboni: and I guess older entries are not refreshed to reflect the hour change?
[14:19:00] zamboni: ...?
[14:20:00] schmots: zap2its website has the data right... thats a positive.
[14:21:00] zamboni: Im guessing: so you had data from before the time change. Then the time changed but the timestamps on the data held on your locak db didnt update?
[14:22:00] schmots: Only built the box yesterday morning.. everything was good on it till about 8pm.. then I notieced the time shift... and it wasn't there at 6pm becuae I recorded a show then.'
[14:22:00] zamboni: say schmots did you see this outta google?http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2003-April/002004.html
[14:23:00] zamboni: Im lucky I dontse my tuner and TV channels
[14:23:00] zamboni: my tuner never worked on my crappy zoltrix card anyway
[14:24:00] zamboni: so all I want to do is record the odd show from PPV through the svideo or composite
[14:24:00] zamboni: I can seewhere the fullfeature set will be cool one day whenI get a decent card
[14:25:00] zamboni: lets see 8pm EST is +5 of GMT?
[14:25:00] Geckofiend: -5
[14:25:00] schmots: -5
[14:25:00] zamboni: yeah
[14:26:00] schmots: but does GMT follow daylight savings?
[14:26:00] fatmatt: schmots: No
[14:26:00] zamboni: no
[14:26:00] schmots: we just moved our clocks ahead last night.
[14:26:00] zamboni: not at all
[14:26:00] schmots: so maybe were -4 now...
[14:26:00] zamboni: there a variable for it I think

[14:29:00] fatmatt: the man page for tv_grab_au has a note about time zone settings in the channel_ids file
[14:29:00] zamboni: schmots have you restarted cron?
[14:30:00] schmots: zap2it is what we in the states use.
[14:30:00] schmots: the cron server is running.. and there is a cron entry
[14:30:00] zamboni: have you restarted it
[14:30:00] zamboni: try that
[14:31:00] zamboni: kill -HUP(pidof crond)
[14:31:00] schmots: What would restarting my job server have to do with my timeoffset.. its a db error
[14:32:00] fatmatt: anyway, gnite

[18:15:00] lane: laga: I apologize for not putting my main question with the relevant details first, but here it is:
[18:16:00] lane: Last night I compiled my own 2.6.11 kernel (hoping that doing so would help me in getting my Air2PC working)
[18:16:00] lane: Because I compiled my own, I also then had to install the nvidia driver manually, since Axel doesn't have nvidia driver modules for 2.6.11
[18:17:00] lane: That worked fine, but now I would like to go back to my old kernel (one of Axel's 2.6.10 versions)
[18:18:00] lane: when I select the old kernel in grub, it boots fine, as expected, but X won't start
[18:18:00] lane: I get the error that I printed above

[18:18:00] lane: But that didn't make any difference
[18:19:00] lane: I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction for how to get X back in a working state
[18:19:00] purplefro1: I know I have to recompile nvidia when I change kernels. If you get desperate, install the nvidia stuff from the nvidia packages instead of the RPMs.
[18:20:00] lane: purplefro1
[18:20:00] lane: purplefro1: That's a good idea. I'm hoping, though, to be able to stick with Axel's packages if I can
[18:20:00] lane: esp since I did have them working

[18:28:00] purplefro1: So, you didn't install from RPM, I guess.
[18:28:00] lane: well, I did both, but for different kernels
[18:28:00] lane: I installed from rpm for Axels 2.6.10 kernel
[18:29:00] lane: and then used sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86–1.0-7174-pkg1.run for my manually compiled 2.6.11 kernel

[18:30:00] lane: must have been a conflict between the different nvidia modules which vanished when I uninstalled
[18:31:00] poonj: hey guys, anyone here use a pcHDTV 3000? when I test out the card using dtvsignal/dtvscan, I have to use /dev/video1 as the device. However, when I go to mythtv-setup and add in the tv cards, it gives me the /dev/video1 can't be recognized and only recognizes /dev/video0. However, it doesn't work.
[18:31:00] opello: when i boot (gentoo), i have the modules init script load the ivtv driver, and i have the stock mythbackend init script in the default runlevel, but when i run the frontend i get about a second and a half of tv (just my estimate) and i have to go out and restart the backend — then it works fine; using 0.17
[18:36:00] lane: opello: do you get the problem if you don't autostart the backend – ie just start it manually?
[18:37:00] opello: yes
[18:37:00] opello: at least i used to — i just took the box down as it's moving from one room to another :/ but last time i tried taking it out of init and just running it i had to drop out and restart it
[18:38:00] opello: i don't remember if it happened when i didn't use the init script though
[18:41:00] lane: might be worth trying
[18:42:00] opello: yeah, when i get it back up i certianly will
[18:42:00] opello: i wasn't thinking when i asked the question, lol
[18:44:00] lane: other thing would be to look in /var/log/myth/ for possible error messages
[18:45:00] opello: i'll do that too
[18:47:00] lane: btw, in case there's anyone on from last night who cares, I figured out my problem where several of the buttons in mythtvsetup and mythfrontend went black and wouldn't select

[18:50:00] lane: candc540: have you added xmms stuff to .lircrc?
[18:52:00] candc540: nope
[18:52:00] candc540: where is the .lircrc
[18:53:00] candc540: i know there's a lircrc in ~/user/.mythtv
[18:54:00] lane: if you don't have a ~/.lircrc file, you will probably need one to tell lirc how to talk to xmms
[18:54:00] candc540: ahhh
[18:54:00] candc540: well this irman
[18:54:00] lane: hmmm
[18:54:00] lane: not sure about that then
[18:54:00] candc540: thing that was installed with xmms-lirc
[18:54:00] lane: you run lircd?
[18:54:00] candc540: says device: /dev/lirc
[18:54:00] candc540: yeah
[18:55:00] candc540: then ir code length
[18:55:00] candc540: then has controls you click the button for play then are supposed to push that button on the remote
[18:55:00] candc540: but no output
[18:55:00] candc540: but irw shows output
[18:55:00] candc540: strange

[19:41:00] Dr_Barnowl: zamboni: No
[19:41:00] zamboni: ah ha
[19:42:00] zamboni: well the database stuff took a while but I got the backend running
[19:42:00] Dr_Barnowl: zamboni: Mind you, if you've got LiveTV working, you've got it sorted.
[19:42:00] zamboni: then the front end and I can watch tv
[19:42:00] KarlosII: zamboni, I want know how 8 channel and 6 channel relates to 16 bit or 24 bits?
[19:42:00] Dr_Barnowl: If you can watch TV the recording works.
[19:42:00] zamboni: LiveTV is a module?
[19:42:00] zamboni: or a plugin
[19:42:00] Dr_Barnowl: No, just the "Watch TV" option
[19:43:00] Baylink: KarlosII: they're orthogonal; they have almost nothing to do with one another.
[19:43:00] Dr_Barnowl: It records to a ring buffer on disk, so if you can watch TV, recording works too.
[19:43:00] zamboni: see heres my issue: My tuner doesent work so I only have access to composite and svideo
[19:43:00] zamboni: so when I press R the Recording"" caption appears
[19:44:00] zamboni: but nothing gets written anywhere
[19:44:00] zamboni: and there an error in the console
[19:44:00] zamboni: something like database errors recording.time
[19:44:00] KarlosII: Baylink, is the AC 97 ALC850 chipset capable of 5.1 Surround sound?

[19:45:00] Dr_Barnowl: zamboni: If you've got no channels set up, that could be it – it'll want to log the channel you're recording.
[19:45:00] candc540: with his pvr and lirc problems
[19:45:00] Flikker: I have an RCA learning remote... any ideas what a good device to program into it would be for Myth?
[19:45:00] KarlosII: ie if the ASUS SLI DELUXE has 8 Channel version of that chipset
[19:45:00] candc540: later
[19:45:00] Dr_Barnowl: zamboni: I found getting phpmyadmin installed helped immensely, you can poke around in the database.
[19:45:00] zamboni: so the pinout tospdif is vendor specific
[19:46:00] bjohnson: Geckofiend: sorry .. had to go. I want to rip dvds small enough that I can fit a few on a dvd for the kids small travel dvd player
[19:46:00] Baylink: KarlosII: Google is your friend.
[19:46:00] zamboni: oh yeah
[19:46:00] bjohnson: looking for info on how to do that
[19:46:00] Baylink: bjohnson: you'll have to reduce the bitrate, primarily.
[19:46:00] Baylink: That will entail transcoding from Mpeg2->Mpeg2
[19:46:00] zamboni: Dr_Barnowl thinh Ill give that a whirl
[19:47:00] KarlosII: I want to know if I buy if the the Asus SLI Deluxe board with AC 97 ALC 850 Chipset, if it's going to be better then using my SB Live 5.1 Value sound card?
[19:47:00] KarlosII: Baylink, already been doing thta
[19:47:00] Baylink: I wouldn't bet on it, Karlos. The SB probably has better analog than a motherboard setup.
[19:47:00] Dr_Barnowl: KarlosII: The creative cards are very well supported in Linux.
[19:47:00] zamboni: Id say the SBlive would be better

[19:47:00] zamboni: less board noise

[22:18:00] jdrogers: myth is run by an unpriveledged user, so I assume its dma issues or something

[22:21:00] jdrogers: and I think the io + cpu usage during mythcommflagg is just killing my bus or something
