[05:44:00] GotD0t: sure am
[05:44:00] Cardoe: what distro do you use?
[05:45:00] GotD0t: debian
[05:46:00] iggy: Cardoe: you bastard
[05:47:00] Cardoe: iggy: what?
[05:47:00] Cardoe: what did I do now?
[05:48:00] Cardoe: most likely it's true
[05:48:00] iggy: your bug comments are.... shall we say.... borderline abrasive
[05:49:00] Cardoe: comments to who?
[05:49:00] Cardoe: I asked if anyone was awake
[05:49:00] Cardoe: oh
[05:50:00] Cardoe: iggy: when they start e-mailing you with "HAVE YOU SEEN BUG #######??!?!?!?!?!?!?! OMG!!!111111oneoneoneoneoneone"
[05:50:00] Cardoe: I tend to be pissy towards them.
[05:50:00] Cardoe: cause a man has to eat.
[05:50:00] Cardoe: so he has to go to work.
[05:50:00] Cardoe: and work kind of likes you to be productive
[05:50:00] Cardoe: and not sit on the computer and mess with Gentoo.
[05:51:00] Cardoe: So I apologize if I can't respond to a bug in less then an hour.
[05:51:00] Cardoe: And to top it off
[05:52:00] Cardoe: one of the bug reporters is one of the guys in #gentoo-amd64 that tested the build and said it worked 100%
[05:54:00] Cardoe: which is it?
[05:54:00] GotD0t: hehe
[05:55:00] Cardoe: </rant>
[05:56:00] GotD0t: so why did you ask what distro i use?
[05:56:00] Cardoe: because my next question was going to be x86 or amd64?
[05:56:00] GotD0t: x86
[05:57:00] GotD0t: but i use gentoo on my desktop & laptop
[05:57:00] GotD0t: just debian for my dvr
[05:57:00] ** Cardoe nods. **
[05:57:00] Cardoe: I was pretty sure you used Gentoo.
[05:57:00] Cardoe: but I wasn't sure if it was for Mythtv
[05:57:00] iggy: Cardoe: I'm not testing anything for you, you're mean
[05:57:00] ** Cardoe gives iggy a hug. **
[05:58:00] GotD0t: funny thing is... i switched to gentoo because i started gathering parts for my mythbox
[05:58:00] GotD0t: and then i ended up just using deb for my mythbox
[05:58:00] Cardoe: iggy: will you at least give me some emerge info love?
[05:59:00] iggy: emerge info? where? why?
[05:59:00] Cardoe: I'm just frustrated that I was made to support arch/mcpu/mtune
[05:59:00] iggy: made to?
[05:59:00] Cardoe: and then people have crazy concoctions from gcc-4
[05:59:00] Cardoe: that don't work
[06:00:00] iggy: who made you?
[06:00:00] Cardoe: I'd rm -rf gcc-4 sources anyday
[06:00:00] Cardoe: ciaranm and the jump on Cardoe's back gang in -dev
[06:00:00] iggy: ignore it
[06:00:00] iggy: they aren't supporting it, tell them to fuck off
[06:00:00] iggy: especially ciaranm
[06:00:00] Cardoe: heh
[06:01:00] Cardoe: Then I want to drop kick Herbs.
[06:01:00] Cardoe: Cause he constantly touches my ebuilds with amd64 crapola.
[06:01:00] Cardoe: And never does it correctly.
[06:01:00] Cardoe: This is the closest he's come so far.
[06:01:00] iggy: I'm all for making the ebuild do the right thing with regard to how someone has their env set up, but that only goes so far
[06:02:00] iggy: does he at least ask?
[06:02:00] Cardoe: Never
[06:02:00] iggy: report him to devrel
[06:02:00] Cardoe: And I always have it out with him about not touching my ebuilds.
[06:02:00] Cardoe: last time he complained to devrel I was "mean"
[06:02:00] iggy: tell devrel, and tell them about the numerous times prior he's done it
[06:03:00] iggy: even if nothing happens, it's documented
[06:03:00] iggy: that's the biggest problem we had with ciaranm, everybody hates how he treats people, but only like 3 people complained to us, and they were less than credible witnessess
[06:04:00] Cardoe: you just have to meet him with the same level
[06:04:00] Cardoe: He's very egotistical.

[20:30:00] Tommck: xris – some trees, but the antenna could go in the attic (prefer not an external one)
[20:30:00] Tommck: xris – interesting... I guess I could add a preamp if I wanted to anyway, right?
[20:30:00] xris: I have an airport nearby, and some hills, so I get interference.. would need a Yagi style one for better reception, and I'm only 6–8 miles from the towers.
[20:30:00] Tommck: I actually have a pre-amp for my omnidirectional (non-HDTV) antenna I'm using right now
[20:30:00] xris: Tommck: have you tried your omni one with hdtv?
[20:30:00] xris: it's really just uhf vs vhf
[20:31:00] Tommck: xris – yes, it works well in good weather for my TV, but my HD3000 cards are getting choppy video sometimes and I'm thinking it might be a borderline signal, since I'd heard that they don't do well with low signals)
[20:32:00] rjune_: Ahhh
[20:32:00] rjune_: figured it out
[20:32:00] rjune_: if you change the IP of the local server, you need to change the IP of the master server to match
[20:32:00] xris: Tommck: yeah, could be. anyway, I get about 5 channels with mine, out of the 8–9 I could get with a better antenna.. works well enough for testing, though.
[20:33:00] xris: rjune_: if you're doing master/slave, the master needs to be configured with a real IP, so it can tell slaves where it is.
[20:33:00] Tommck: xris – out of the 6 channels here, 5 of them are within 1 degree of each other and the other one I don't care about anyway
[20:33:00] xris: Tommck: that's nice. I'm too close, so it's like 3–4 degrees (except for fox, which is WAY off). I get them just fine except for one that's underpowered. an amp might help, but it's not that big of a deal.
[20:34:00] rjune_: xris: frontend/backend problem. I told the backend it was 172.16.0.1, and then that the master was 127.0.0.1, not thinking about it. doh!
[20:34:00] Tommck: xris – It might be worth buying that Terk antenna just to see if it works
[20:34:00] rjune_: though, have you noticed that the 'help' section doesn't always show up properly?
[20:34:00] xris: Tommck: that's what I figured. $25 isn't that big of a deal in the long run.
[20:34:00] xris: rjune_: help section?
[20:35:00] Tommck: xris – yeah... though I'm wondering if I could buy it somewhere locally with a return policy that is favorable in case it doesn't help
[20:35:00] rjune_: yeah the short explanation of the option at the bottom of the screen, it's usually very helpful, but sometimes it's too long for the space provided
[20:35:00] xris: Tommck: radio shack sells similar ones... they're all the "silver sensor" shape. $25–50

[20:36:00] xris: cool
[20:42:00] Tommck: $40 there though :)
[20:44:00] brejc8: Is anyone here from the USA here that can give me a hand with something?
[20:45:00] Tommck: brejc8 – be more vague please
[20:45:00] brejc8: I am getting the todays TV picks from the site: http://tv.yahoo.com/picks/
[20:45:00] laga: rjune_: still here?
[20:46:00] rjune_: yup
[20:46:00] Tommck: brejc8 – and?
[20:46:00] brejc8: In the different regions and time zones the program is broadcast in local time (9pm everywhere) or at 9pm in the eastern and then an offset to everywhere else
[20:46:00] laga: rjune_: i set 'ip adress for $hostname' to the ip adress for the machine and 'ip adress for the master server' to the same one
[20:47:00] Tommck: yes... the times are listed as "ET"
[20:47:00] rjune_: laga: yeah, found that
[20:47:00] laga: rjune_: works for me :&

[20:47:00] brejc8: Tommck: Right so you have some sort of paramiter to the tv grabbing software to tellit which time zome you are in?
[20:47:00] aRgon_ (~pascal@dsl-084-060-207-105.arcor-ip.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:48:00] Tommck: brejc8 – I'm not sure... MythTV deals with all that for me, but I think the times are listed in UTC time in there.. not sure
[20:48:00] brejc8: Tommck: What is ET compatred to the UTC?
[20:49:00] Tommck: brejc8 – they're just different time zones. UTC is Greenwich Mean Time (with no daylight savings) and ET is 5 hours behind that (but there's also daylight savings time there too)
[20:49:00] Tommck: brejc8 – are you programming something?
[20:50:00] brejc8: yeah a tv picks grabber.
[20:50:00] brejc8: screen scrapes the website to get the recommendations
[20:51:00] Tommck: brejc8 – well, there are time library methods for almost every language that deal with this.
[20:51:00] Tommck: if it's being broadcast at 9pm, regardless of location, then you could just use a local to UTC time conversion
[20:52:00] brejc8: Tommck: Yeah but which ones. I will just give it over to someone who is there.
[20:52:00] Tommck: which what?
[20:52:00] brejc8: Tommck: Also the channel names right? you have local channels which have different names than the national ones right?
[20:53:00] brejc8: Tommck: this grabber thing
[20:53:00] Tommck: yeah.. it says "ABC" and "NBC", so you could have a setup to ask for channel mappings
[20:53:00] brejc8: What is your local ABC called?
[20:53:00] Tommck: WMAR
[20:53:00] brejc8: something deterministic
[20:53:00] brejc8: oh crao
[20:53:00] Tommck: or you could map from ABC to "2"
[20:54:00] brejc8: OK so every region needs to have it's own mapping
[20:54:00] Tommck: brejc8 – yes
[20:54:00] Tommck: upon installation of your code, i'd expect
[20:55:00] brejc8: Is the name ABC recorded anywhere in mythtv database? like the cal sign or anything?
[20:55:00] Tommck: don't know
[20:55:00] Tommck: you could just look around in your database.

[20:56:00] brejc8: Yeah but I dont have a US one with auto generated channels. ANyway this is how the system looks so far here
[20:56:00] Tommck: brejc8 – you're not in the US?
[20:56:00] brejc8: Tommck: UK
[20:57:00] Tommck: brejc8 – writing this for someone in the states?
[20:57:00] brejc8: Tommck: Not enough testers if I just write it for the UK. I wrote three for the UK already.
[20:57:00] Tommck: ahh.. ok
[20:57:00] brejc8: Tommck: Still haven't finished the review browser
[20:57:00] Tommck: well, by the looks of their picks, I don't want it ;)
[20:58:00] brejc8: Tommck: Why not?
[20:58:00] Tommck: brejc8 – "National Spelling Bee Finals" ???
[20:58:00] brejc8: Tommck: oh yahoos picks
[20:58:00] Tommck: brejc8 - :) yeah... the picks are horrible :)
[20:58:00] brejc8: The idea is that you get several sources and give them weights
[20:58:00] Tommck: brejc8 – ah.. that's cool
[20:59:00] brejc8: it will ignore the poor ones which no one else picked
[20:59:00] brejc8: Only reason I picked yahoo is because they have several days in advance
[20:59:00] Tommck: brejc8 – yeah
[21:00:00] brejc8: Tommck: Sorry didnt send the link http://brej.org/mythtv/recommendations/guide1.png
[21:00:00] Tommck: is a heart a recommendation?
[21:00:00] brejc8: yeah for the time being
[21:00:00] Chutt: brejc8, why not just use cf?
[21:00:00] brejc8: I didnt make an icon yet
[21:00:00] Tommck: there's a TV show called "Chubby Chasers" there?
[21:01:00] brejc8: "cf"?
[21:01:00] Chutt: collaborative filtering
[21:01:00] brejc8: Tommck: Ill get the description for you
[21:01:00] Tommck: Chutt – I thought that was Cluster Fuck ?
[21:02:00] brejc8: Looking at a world where men adore big, beautiful women – a place where fat is not just acceptable, it is desirable. Many women's lives have been transformed, and men of all shapes and sizes have discovered that loving their ladies extra large is nothing to be ashamed of.
[21:02:00] Chutt: basing recommendations off of junk like the 'best picks' stuff seems really lame to me
[21:02:00] Tommck: brejc8 – crazy bastards! ;)
[21:02:00] brejc8: CF would be just one of the sources. To getit off the gound just using the magazine ones
[21:03:00] Chutt: why even bother?
[21:03:00] Tommck: Chutt – with a good abstract framework in place, a better algo can just be plugged in
[21:03:00] Chutt: tommck, not really
[21:03:00] Tommck: Chutt – yeah, really
[21:03:00] Chutt: uh, no
[21:03:00] Tommck: Chutt – it's just software design
[21:03:00] Chutt: you don't have a clue what you're talking about
[21:03:00] Tommck: Chutt – you don't know me
[21:03:00] Chutt: but, that's pretty damn obvious
[21:03:00] brejc8: The picks are translated into an xml format which can be generated by any tool.
[21:04:00] brejc8: Esp a CF one
[21:04:00] Chutt: cf would require server software
[21:04:00] Chutt: the best picks stuff could be done all client side
[21:04:00] Tommck: Chutt – it's a basic implementation of a Strategy pattern... the implementing class can talk to a server
[21:04:00] Chutt: you don't just plug one in to each other
[21:04:00] Chutt: hah
[21:04:00] Tommck: Chutt – yes... all implemented by a single class implementation
[21:04:00] Chutt: whenever someone starts spouting off about design patterns, you know they don't know jack about what they're talking about
[21:04:00] Tommck: the whole UI and "get picks to record" interface can be implemented separately
[21:05:00] brejc8: that already has been done btw
[21:05:00] Chutt: the ui's the easiest part of the entire thing.
[21:05:00] brejc8: http://brej.org/mythtv/recommendations/rec_all1.png
[21:06:00] Tommck: Chutt – why do you feel it necessary to insult me?
[21:06:00] cygdev: does myth support scrambled DVB channels?
[21:06:00] Tommck: cygdev – you asked that yesterday..
[21:06:00] brejc8: cygdev: no
[21:06:00] Chutt: because i think it's funny when people insist they know what they're talking about
[21:07:00] Chutt: and so obviously don't
[21:07:00] Tommck: Chutt – all you've said is "you don't know what you're talking about"... that's not very good proof that I don't know what I'm talking about
[21:07:00] Tommck: Chutt – actually, if you reverse your own logic, you are insisting that *I* don't know what I'm talking about without any proof, thus removing the impetus for you to actually have a real discussion on the issue
[21:08:00] cygdev: I did, but did not notice any answer...sorry to hear that the answer is "no"
[21:08:00] Chutt: wow, you're trying to make yourself sound smart now, too
[21:08:00] Chutt: heh
[21:08:00] epoch: hahahaha
[21:08:00] Tommck: Chutt – you're such a child
[21:08:00] epoch: hey Tommck, u r dumb!
[21:08:00] brejc8: cygdev: I think you can get a card creader to plug in to get terrestrial encripted chanels
[21:09:00] Tommck: epoch – blow me :)
[21:09:00] brejc8: What is you guys' problem?
[21:09:00] epoch: Tommck: not into that sort of thing, sorry
[21:09:00] Chutt: i dunno, i don't have a problem
[21:09:00] Chutt: tommck seems to think he's got one
[21:09:00] epoch: I have a problem
[21:09:00] epoch: chutt is ugly
[21:09:00] epoch: that's my problem
[21:09:00] Tommck: brejc8 – no friggin idea... people who think their way is the only way... and don't like taking input from people with tons of experience in the real world :)
[21:10:00] Chutt: and epoch's a lameass canuk
[21:10:00] Chutt: tommck, wow, you've got tons of experience!
[21:10:00] cygdev: How does one tune to encrypted channels – scan channels seems to skip 'em
[21:10:00] epoch: Chutt *wishes* his ass was lame!
[21:10:00] Chutt: ever written a CF engine?
[21:10:00] epoch: whoa holy shit
[21:10:00] epoch: _tons_
[21:10:00] brejc8: cygdev: The scanner won't skip them if you have a card reader (and a subscription)
[21:11:00] brejc8: cygdev: You in the UK?
[21:11:00] cygdev: No, in Finland
[21:11:00] Tommck: Chutt – no, but I've done phone switch software, automated weather observations systems, battle simulation software, fingerprint recognition, iris scanning, handwriting recognition (both biometric and alphametric), etc.
[21:11:00] brejc8: cygdev: You can get the card readers for the Happu.. cards
[21:11:00] Chutt: so nothing related
[21:12:00] epoch: I think Tommck is trying to compensate for something
[21:12:00] Tommck: Chutt – all of those things were related to software design.
[21:12:00] cygdev: I have a Technotrend Premium DVB-C 2300; there should be card readers for that one, too
[21:12:00] Chutt: haha
[21:13:00] Tommck: Chutt – the question at hand was whether or not a new algorithm could be dropped in to replace the cheesy one.. you said "not really". You were wrong
[21:13:00] Chutt: how am i wrong?
[21:13:00] Chutt: please explain
[21:13:00] brejc8: cygdev: prob
[21:13:00] Tommck: because all it takes is a basic abstraction for the algorithm... all the surrounding code (mapping channels to Myth's channels), configuring separate sources, the ratings of the sources could be done already...
[21:13:00] Chutt: to get recommendations for a 'best picks' type thing, you run a grabber like mythfilldb once a day
[21:14:00] Tommck: then a single interface to the Source gets the recommendations.
[21:14:00] Tommck: a simple implementation is done first...
[21:14:00] cygdev: Do card readers need any driver support? I.e, are they visible to device drivers?
[21:14:00] Tommck: then a new implementation based on CF can be written later
[21:14:00] Tommck: (if needed)
[21:14:00] Chutt: to get recommendations for a CF system, you need to figure out what the user recorded, what the user actually watched, some sort of decent rating system (thumbs up/thumbs down)
[21:14:00] Chutt: then notify a central server about that information
[21:14:00] Chutt: and get a list
[21:14:00] Tommck: Chutt – thus, the interface is designed with that in mind
[21:14:00] Chutt: it's not even close to similar
[21:15:00] Chutt: presenting the results to the user could be, sure, but who the fuck cares about the design of the ui when talking about 'dropping in algorithms'?
[21:15:00] Tommck: Chutt – this information will need to be gathered. It would be packed up into some sort of "context" object which could then be ignored by the simpler implementations
[21:15:00] Chutt: that's broken.
[21:15:00] stevenh (~xev@65.167.23.2) Quit ("Cheers")
[21:16:00] brejc8: Chutt: That is very simple with a perl script. The perl script sends off your current viewing patterns to the main server and retreaves a recommendation list which is then read into the mythfilldatabase
[21:16:00] Tommck: Chutt – I'm not talking about the design of the UI... I'm talking about the interaction of everything else
[21:16:00] brejc8: Chutt : just like TVWish
[21:16:00] Chutt: brejc8, yeah, but that doesn't get everything you'd want
[21:16:00] Chutt: that just gets what you recorded
[21:16:00] Chutt: not if you watched the first 5 minutes of something than stopped because it sucked :p
[21:17:00] Chutt: you'd want that sort of input
[21:17:00] brejc8: Sure you can have a user interface to rate the shows you watched too. Still the UI isjust the first step
[21:17:00] Chutt: tommck, that's my point – there _is no interaction_ for the simple case. it's just a data grabber, really.
[21:17:00] Tommck: this is like arguing the finer points of wine with someone with no sense of smell
[21:18:00] Chutt: a cf system requires much more integration into other parts of myth
[21:18:00] Tommck: Chutt – I understand, but it can still be implemented and used... then it gets refactored for anything that was missed in the first iterations
[21:18:00] Tommck: Chutt – it should require integration... it would require data retrieval. Maybe an additional handler for a keystroke to rate things
[21:19:00] spiderworm (~spiderwor@70.58.125.120) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:19:00] Tommck: but the ratings and things should be done with the simple implementations too. That way, you capture your reactions to the things that were suggested
[21:19:00] Chutt: brejc8, well, if you watch a small percentage of a program, then stop + delete it, that should count as an automatic minus
[21:19:00] brejc8: The difficult bit is the CF on the main server (esp with the many countries involved)
[21:19:00] brejc8: Additionally there will probably want several sources of recommendations. I wouldn't trust one system to not turn commercial
[21:19:00] Tommck: later, that can be fed back into whatever ranking algorithms need it
[21:19:00] spiderworm: hey all is it possible to get linux/mythtv to run on an actual tivo box?
[21:19:00] laga: spiderworm: no.
[21:20:00] Chutt: tommck, urhm, with a 'best picks', all you get is a few things (as in that yahoo page) per day.
[21:20:00] scotepi (~scotepi@70-33-140-185.agstme.adelphia.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:20:00] Chutt: you're not going to be able to 'rate' those, unless as a whole
[21:20:00] ** Tommck still uses Tivo as a backup to his Myth box **
[21:20:00] brejc8: In the UK I found 10 pages with TV picks.
[21:20:00] Tommck: Chutt – you can rate the shows, why couldn't you?
[21:20:00] Chutt: brejc8, that's why i've said that anything implementing cf that goes into myth has to run on mythtv.org, be gpl, data under a free license, etc
[21:21:00] scotepi: if a card says it only supports windows xp media center will it work in linux? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815100135
[21:21:00] Chutt: tommck, yeah, but how's that relevant?
[21:21:00] Chutt: tommck, since the shows are just recommended out of context
[21:21:00] Tommck: Chutt – you could rate the sources based on how many of the things it recommended that you like
[21:21:00] Chutt: right, but if it's a crappy source, why bother including its recommendations in the first place?
[21:22:00] brejc8: Because it is difficult to recommend things before they happened
[21:22:00] Tommck: Chutt – yes, but you could start out with _only_ your reactions to things... later, when you want to add CF to the mix, you could add a second level of rate modification based on "everyone's" ratings too
[21:23:00] Chutt: brejc8, right, but you can't treat a 'best picks' recommendation as anything but as a whole set
[21:23:00] Tommck: Chutt – if the same show is recommended by 3 different sources, all 3 of those sources should get kudos for the recommendation... that is why individual show ratings are important
[21:24:00] Chutt: anyway
[21:24:00] Chutt: still doesn't get around the fact that it'd be two completely different implementations
[21:25:00] Chutt: considering one requires writing a server, and all
[21:25:00] brejc8: two different implementations of the grabber only.
[21:25:00] Tommck: chutt – I've written abstractions like this before. It might seem weird that one implementation is client-server and the other one is standalone, but it is doable
[21:26:00] brejc8: I think the grabber should prob star separate.
[21:26:00] Tommck: brejc8 – kinda like the current listing grabbers
[21:26:00] Chutt: i don't think there should _be_ a separate grabber in the cf case
[21:26:00] Chutt: no reason that that wouldn't be built in
[21:27:00] Tommck: Chutt – what if someone doesn't want to use it?
[21:27:00] Chutt: then they don't turn it on?
[21:27:00] Chutt: i would think that would be obvious.
[21:27:00] brejc8: How would you be able to have the different countries with their different schedules
[21:27:00] xortch (~xortch@D-128-208-42-211.dhcp4.washington.edu) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:27:00] Tommck: Chutt – so it wouldn't be a plug-in?
[21:27:00] Chutt: of course not
[21:28:00] Chutt: brejc8, why would that matter?
[21:28:00] _johnp: cygdev, You need to de-select FTA only on input connections. That'll get you the crypto'd ones.
[21:28:00] brejc8: Just because everyone likes the current episode of scrubs in the US why should that be recommended for a repeat in Holland
[21:29:00] Chutt: why wouldn't it be recommended in that case?
[21:29:00] brejc8: Old episode
[21:29:00] brejc8: repeat
[21:29:00] StrathAFK is now known as Strath
[21:29:00] Chutt: so?
[21:29:00] Tommck: brejc8 – the back-end would have to be partitioned by country (and possible more)
[21:29:00] Chutt: people liked it
[21:29:00] Tommck: different tastes in different countries?
[21:29:00] brejc8: How do you find the same episede in the other country?
[21:29:00] Chutt: then they'd not be matched up in the first place
[21:29:00] scotepi: if a card says it only supports windows xp media center will it work in linux? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815100135
[21:29:00] brejc8: different name/subtitle
[21:30:00] Chutt: and wouldn't have been recommended the show
[21:30:00] Tommck: scotepi – it's called google
[21:30:00] Chutt: brejc8, then it couldn't be matched, and wouldn't be recommended
[21:30:00] Chutt: can't have it translate for you, obviously =)
[21:30:00] brejc8: difficult/impossible to match the names
[21:31:00] Tommck: Chutt – we could have it pull the VBI info and run it through Babelfish and auto-translate :)

[21:31:00] Tommck: <-- being goofy
[21:31:00] Chutt: right, so there's obviously no need to partition the backend
[21:31:00] scotepi: Tommck, google doesnt work for that card
[21:33:00] Tommck: scotepi – then when they say " it only supports windows xp media center ", maybe they're not lying?
[21:33:00] brejc8: Im still not sure how a system such as this would recognise that people liked a series of shows would also like a show which hasn't happened yet and there are no reviews of it yet
[21:33:00] Tommck: I'm geting back to work... I will talk to you all later..
[21:33:00] Tommck: brejc8 – good luck
[21:33:00] ** Tommck is out of here **

[21:34:00] laga: just in time
[21:34:00] laga: great.
[21:34:00] brejc8: What about one offs
[21:34:00] ** laga is pissed off as hell **
[21:34:00] Chutt: brejc8, can always use other people's schedules
[21:35:00] scotepi: so does no one here use a m150 card?
[21:35:00] Chutt: if A aligns with B, and B has X scheduled to record, A might want to, too.
[21:36:00] Chutt: it's not all that complicated :p
[21:36:00] brejc8: Right. So an SQL server matching the people into groups with simmilar preferences through their opinions about shows, a communication with it (sending current opinions about past shows/recieving recommendations) and a UI to show the recommendations

[21:37:00] brejc8: Oh and also sending the current scheduals
[21:37:00] Chutt: can't be a sql server, really
[21:37:00] brejc8: With an AI program on top of it
[21:37:00] Chutt: it's a bit more complex than what it could be, and you really don't want a sql server open to randomass users on the net
[21:38:00] Chutt: brejc8, and some logic in the frontend for like/dislike, and automatic versions of it
[21:38:00] brejc8: Yeah an AI 2d mapping of peoples preferences grouping people every day
[21:38:00] scotepi: out of these cards, whats a good one for linux? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp . . . mit=Property
[21:38:00] Chutt: brejc8, should (eventually) get much better recommendations than a best picks type thing =)
[21:39:00] brejc8: Oh yeah ofcause. But needs many people to train the thing
[21:39:00] Chutt: it doesn't really need _that_ many people
[21:39:00] Chutt: but, the more the better
[21:39:00] kormoc: Scorpi, Hauppauge

[21:39:00] kormoc: erm, scotepi that was for you
[21:39:00] scotepi: kormoc, lol, k
[21:40:00] Chutt: there's a guy at work who says '2 weeks' to everything

[21:40:00] scotepi: kormoc, dont realy want to spend more then $80 though
[21:40:00] kormoc: scotepi, you could get a bttv software card, it will suck cpu cycles and look like shit, but your call.
[21:41:00] brejc8: Or someone who says "this is just the sort of thing we should be doing" when presented with an idea. Ofcause that actually means "NO!"
[21:41:00] brejc8: My bos started doing that
[21:41:00] scotepi: kormoc, i have a Hauppauge bt878 card, and some reson it sucks with mythtv, runs at 100%cpu and is about 2fps on a 2800+

[21:45:00] Chutt: he was a regular idiot in the dev channel, honestly
[21:45:00] brejc8: Right
[21:46:00] rjune_: aka, I've got a backend in my house, and I would like to put one in my car, and occasionally just copy data over.
[21:46:00] laga: rjune_: i wonder if cyberknet was doing something like that.
[21:46:00] rjune_: I dunno

[21:53:00] Art_Bell: and xbox controller and half a usb cord
[21:53:00] hadeees: Art_Bell, yeah i know but i kind of wanted to buy one, since i seee them for like $10
[21:53:00] twisted_one: Hello everyone...
[21:53:00] twisted_one: =)
[21:54:00] hadeees: also i wonder how well like the logitech xbox wireless controller would work if i had two of them with the recivers inside my htpc case
[21:54:00] twisted_one: Im having some issues getting myth to work with my PVR-500, anyone around who has such a setup?
[21:54:00] mchou: hadeees: rat shack used to have ps2 to usb converters for $0.
[21:54:00] mchou: $10*
[21:54:00] Art_Bell: can't beat $0 :)
[21:54:00] twisted_one: sure you can
[21:54:00] twisted_one: -$50 is nice
[21:55:00] twisted_one: I've gotten that before
[21:55:00] mchou: hadeees: it works ok.
[21:55:00] hadeees: mchou, you tried it?
[21:55:00] mchou: yup.
[21:55:00] hadeees: neat, do you have multiple of them?
[21:55:00] mchou: nope, just one.
[21:55:00] hadeees: i also was thinking of taking the cases off the xbox recivers since they are bulky
[21:55:00] hadeees: mchou, is the reciver in your case?
[21:56:00] mchou: hadeees: huh??? receiver for what?
[21:56:00] hadeees: mchou, i was talking about the logictech wireless xbox controller
[21:56:00] Art_Bell: you look at the ati controller ? its usb and is rf
[21:57:00] mchou: hadeees: nope. dont have that one
[21:57:00] hadeees: Art_Bell, so is the Niveus
[21:58:00] mchou: I dont grok the point of have an RF remote when all media devices are IR :)
[21:59:00] mchou: like why go throug an extra translation later that's worse than ir??
[21:59:00] mchou: layer*
[21:59:00] GreyFoxx: 1 guess, no need to be in line of sight for one
[21:59:00] GreyFoxx: my GF routinely plays mp3's and pauses them fromthe kitchen even though they are playing in the living room
[22:00:00] GreyFoxx: lots of people run a long set of cables or a wireless video transmitter to a TV in a different room than the pc and use the remote to pause video
[22:00:00] GreyFoxx: But of course you would have to ask the people who make it for the real reasons.
[22:01:00] GreyFoxx: And in the niveus case it's both universal learning ir plug rf to the usb module, best of both worlds
[22:02:00] mchou: lol, so far the only real usage case of rf is "pause." Maybe ff/rw/stop. Any other use cases?
[22:02:00] GreyFoxx: and remote control of a pc that is in another room wyet the display is happenning in a different location. they are mice also, not just play,pause, etc
[22:03:00] GreyFoxx: But again, those are just the quick off the top of my head ones.
[22:04:00] rjune_: mchou: isn't that the reason for an IR remote?
[22:04:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: wireless video transmitter? you have an example?
[22:04:00] GreyFoxx: mchou, uhh, there are tons of them
[22:04:00] rjune_: radioshack used to sell them, neat little gadgets
[22:04:00] GreyFoxx: walk into radioshack
[22:04:00] GreyFoxx: or x10
[22:05:00] rjune_: they sold audio transmitters too
[22:05:00] mchou: lol, x10 is spam crap :)
[22:05:00] rjune_: the protocol, not the company
[22:05:00] GreyFoxx: I know a few people who just use them to transmit stuff to their TV in another room rather than have a pc in the living room or who didn't want to run cables

[22:10:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: wow. just checked out rat shack wireless video is steep. much rather have a Hauppauge MVP :)
[22:11:00] GreyFoxx: mchou: Not everyone wants to run an ethernet cable through their house to their TV
[22:11:00] Chutt: everyone doesn't have their entire house wired?
[22:11:00] mchou: exactly. Structured wiring here :)
[22:11:00] GreyFoxx: I do now. Didn't when I moved in :()
[22:12:00] ** laga doesnt have wiring. **
[22:12:00] mchou: plus get a wireless USB/eth dongle if you have to :)
[22:13:00] GreyFoxx: Not everyone wants to buy an access point nor any ethernet -> wireless bridge
[22:13:00] mchou: lol :)
[22:13:00] GreyFoxx: if all you want is simple video playback from another room, wireless transmitting is relatively cheap and dead simple to setup
[22:13:00] GreyFoxx: problem is that anyone with a receiever locally can also watch :)

[22:16:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: well, the part I disagree on is the "relatively cheap." I think there are better solutions for "not much more." A Xbox (for me) would have more utility than wireless video rx/tx.
[22:17:00] reel (~reel@ip24-250-255-81.ga.at.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:17:00] GreyFoxx: better solutions FOR YOU. You gotta remember not everyone wants what you want. why buy an xbox if you never play games? Why buy an wireless usb module to connect to that xbox (which will require an ap to be purchased too) otherwise why run an ethernet cable upstairs and around a corner if you don't want to have cables through your house or dril holes?
[22:18:00] GreyFoxx: For someone who wants simple video from their pc in another part of the house, who don;'t want a pvr, don't want to spend a ton of money or have complicated setups, it's a simple plug it in solution
[22:18:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: which is why I qualified the statement. I think anyone who has a laptop in the house would already have an AP/router....
[22:19:00] GreyFoxx: who said anything about a laptop? the majority of computer owners don't have laptops
[22:19:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: OK, you win :)
[22:20:00] mchou: haha
[22:20:00] GreyFoxx: wooo
[22:20:00] GreyFoxx: heh
[22:20:00] GreyFoxx: I wasn't looking to win. Just point out that there are different reasons for this stuff, not just reasons for you to use it :)
[22:21:00] GreyFoxx: man it is way too nice outside to be staying in .
[22:21:00] mchou: GreyFoxx: no doubt. My objection to wireless video is it's too steep compared to other solutions out there.
[22:21:00] GreyFoxx: uhhh $100CDN is not steep compared to the price of everything you just mentioned :)
[22:22:00] mchou: huh??
[22:22:00] bzcat_-|patch_p1: xbox,laptop =P

[22:37:00] mchou: twisted_one: my point exactly :)
[22:37:00] kormoc: mchou, well duh, but they have the same stuff. Hell you can't return things to different staples, it has to be the same store you got it from
[22:37:00] twisted_one: I got pissed when I went to frys and found the shit that was on sale at outpost was full price at frys and they refused to do anything about it. =\
[22:37:00] kormoc: mchou, but that doesn't make each staples a different company...
[22:37:00] mchou: kormoc: see??? :)
[22:37:00] twisted_one: kormoc: sure you can.

[22:39:00] rjune_: I'm not cool enough to have a fry's nearby

[23:27:00] brejc8: mplayer or the other one.... someone tell em
[23:27:00] kormoc: xine
[23:28:00] kormoc: and mythdvd and mythvideo
[23:28:00] twisted_one: I am setting up myth again.... I have a question
[23:28:00] brejc8: no there is one specially made for dvd playback
[23:28:00] kormoc: ogre?
[23:28:00] brejc8: thats the one
[23:28:00] brejc8: works great
[23:28:00] twisted_one: I want to start commercial flaggin as soon as it starts recording, any suggestions on how powerful my machine should be for this?
[23:28:00] kormoc: meh, I perfer xine to ogre.
[23:28:00] mace (~mace@mace.developer.debian) Quit (Client Quit)
[23:29:00] twisted_one: xine is better IMHO =)
[23:29:00] brejc8: I poss didnt give xine a chance

[23:29:00] VaderDarth: so in final analysis should i use mythtv?
[23:29:00] twisted_one: Sempron 2200, 512 MB, good enough to start commercial flaggin when recording starts?
[23:29:00] VaderDarth: or use medi porta with win ;-)
[23:30:00] brejc8: VaderDarth: If you dont mind spending a little time and money over it then it works great.
[23:30:00] brejc8: VaderDarth:The wife likes it too.
[23:30:00] VaderDarth: well i am a bit broke now
[23:30:00] VaderDarth: and i dont have a wife
[23:30:00] VaderDarth: :-(
[23:31:00] brejc8: VaderDarth:Chicks love the software. You will be able to get one for sure that way ;)
[23:31:00] twisted_one: heh, I know both of those =P
[23:31:00] twisted_one: brejc8: that is the exact reason im doing this =P
[23:31:00] VaderDarth: i don't think so
[23:31:00] twisted_one: for the women that will throng ot me afterwards =P
[23:32:00] kormoc: twisted_one, perpair to be disappointed.
[23:32:00] twisted_one: kormoc: dont you destroy my hopes you bastard!
[23:32:00] twisted_one: =P
[23:32:00] VaderDarth: how do u make dvd region free?

[23:33:00] twisted_one: Hrmm, I have two options with my video input...
[23:34:00] twisted_one: the video device and the defualt input....
[23:34:00] twisted_one: they 500 shows up as two seperate devices (video0 and video1)
[23:34:00] twisted_one: do I also want to use tuner0 wiht video0 and tuner1 with video1?
[23:35:00] amax_ is now known as amax
[23:35:00] kormoc: likly
[23:36:00] twisted_one: ok, I would think that if I used tuner0 on both I would get two streams of the same data.
[23:36:00] kormoc: yup
[23:36:00] kormoc: well, actually
[23:36:00] kormoc: tuner 0 would be busy, so the second one couldn't get anything
[23:37:00] twisted_one: oh ok.
[23:37:00] twisted_one: hrmm my subscirption to zap2it exires soon, is there a way to renew, I didnt see on on their site yesterday.
[23:38:00] kormoc: you get a link to a survey, fill that out and it's renewed

[23:39:00] twisted_one: kormoc: is sent via email near the expiration date?
[23:40:00] emes: how do you manually install a theme in the .mythtv dir?
[23:40:00] kormoc: twisted_one, ya
[23:40:00] dhofstra: emes just untar it and drop it in your theme location
[23:40:00] twisted_one: kormoc: thank you sir.

[23:40:00] emes: dhofstra: theme location?
[23:40:00] dhofstra: which is usually /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes if you compiled yourself or...
[23:40:00] twisted_one: Hrmm, why is it soo hard on the CPU to parse the tv listings?
[23:41:00] dhofstra: it is in /usr/share/mythtv/themes if you used an rpm
[23:41:00] LiquidSlumber: can anyone help me install nuv2avi?
[23:42:00] emes: dhofstra: and apparently at /Applications/MythFrontend.app/Contents/Resources/share/mythtv/themes on os x :)
[23:42:00] LiquidSlumber: the genric install commands don't seem to work
[23:42:00] dhofstra: LOL
[23:43:00] LiquidSlumber: anybody?
[23:44:00] LiquidSlumber: come on ... just a little help would be greatly appreciated
[23:44:00] dhofstra: wish I knew, but I have never even tried nuv2avi sorry...
[23:45:00] LiquidSlumber: wanta to try it?
[23:45:00] LiquidSlumber: it looks like it should be easy to install, just a make, make install
[23:45:00] LiquidSlumber: command line program
[23:45:00] twisted_one: what is it?
[23:45:00] twisted_one: oh, nevermind
[23:45:00] twisted_one: nuv is myth's format correct?
[23:45:00] LiquidSlumber: http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/nuvtools/nuv2avi.php
[23:46:00] twisted_one: (sorry, havent quite even got my myth working yet, just started today) =)
[23:46:00] VaderDarth: can i use the myth tv as a backend and stream videos via wirless??
[23:46:00] LiquidSlumber: oh well good luck, are you using the knoppmyth cd thing?
[23:47:00] brejc8 (~Alien@62.53.105.156) has left #MythTV-Users
[23:48:00] twisted_one: hrmm, looks interesting
[23:48:00] twisted_one: how do the files get from the mpeg2 to mpeg4 though?
[23:48:00] VaderDarth: !bye
[23:48:00] LiquidSlumber: i don't know, either it doesn't work, or it reencodes it i guess
[23:49:00] VaderDarth (~chatzilla@pc082075.rosandglad.liv.ac.uk) Quit ("Chatzilla 0.9.68.5 [Firefox 1.0.4/20050511]")
[23:49:00] LiquidSlumber: the .nuv to mpeg4 is done by simply resynchronizing the video / audio
[23:51:00] LiquidSlumber: the site says :MPEG2 files are not .NUV and will never<font size="3"> be supported</font>
[23:52:00] LiquidSlumber: i think i also remember something about renaming the .nuv file to .avi
[23:52:00] LiquidSlumber: on another site
[23:52:00] LiquidSlumber: it maybe the .nuv mpeg 2 files are actually .avi files in dissues
[23:52:00] LiquidSlumber: probably not, but it's worth a try
[23:52:00] kormoc: myth's nuv isn't true nuv....
[23:53:00] LiquidSlumber: i know
[23:53:00] bjohnson (~bjohnson@66.11.188.215) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:53:00] kormoc: they are nupple container with issac improvements containing mpeg2/4/rtjpeg with mp3/wav audio.
[23:54:00] LiquidSlumber: yeah i heard that they used .nuv because it has a lot of sync options
[23:54:00] kormoc: per frame audio sync
[23:54:00] LiquidSlumber: that was a big problem for me in windows
[23:54:00] LiquidSlumber: i was using virtual vcr
[23:54:00] LiquidSlumber: before i switched to linux
[23:55:00] LiquidSlumber: it got it to work pretty well, but it didn't have commercial skipping and what not

[23:55:00] LiquidSlumber: i did it for my senior thesis, so if any body wants to check out how to record tv in windows
[23:55:00] LiquidSlumber: http://www.geocities.com/black_ultimate/DVR.htm
[23:56:00] twisted_one: yay, tv is workign in myth... well barely
[23:57:00] LiquidSlumber: can you change channels?
[23:57:00] twisted_one: when I cahnge channles the picture freezes and it takes like 3 seconds to change.. any ideas on that?
[23:57:00] twisted_one: barely =)
[23:57:00] LiquidSlumber: i never had a slow channel chaning problem, but i did have a problem where i couldn't change channels
[23:57:00] kormoc: that's fast!
[23:58:00] twisted_one: fast?
[23:58:00] kormoc: twisted_one, some pvr 150's take 5 to 15 seconds to change the channel
[23:58:00] twisted_one: bleh
[23:58:00] twisted_one: ouch
[23:58:00] kormoc: basically you have to remember what it's doing
[23:58:00] twisted_one: so its a driver issue for now/
[23:58:00] kormoc: nope
[23:58:00] kormoc: hardware
[23:58:00] twisted_one: ok...
[23:58:00] twisted_one: well kormoc when I use ptune-ui to change its instant
[23:58:00] kormoc: you change the channel, the tuner tunes it in, makes it's nice and steady
[23:58:00] twisted_one: so I can only assume this is a myth thing.... =\
[23:58:00] schultmc (~schultmc@zealot.progeny.com) Quit ("Client exiting")
[23:58:00] dhofstra: the 3 seconds thing is likely the buffer. Myth has live video about 2–3 seconds behind real live tv
[23:58:00] kormoc: then it passes it to the mpeg encoder, which waits till it gets a bunch of frames
[23:58:00] twisted_one: dhofstra: any way to fix this?
[23:59:00] kormoc: then it passes it onto myth, which then buffers a few seconds.
[23:59:00] twisted_one: well its mighty annoying when I want to "surf"
[23:59:00] kormoc: no, there isn't :P
[23:59:00] twisted_one: bleh
[23:59:00] kormoc: surf with a pvr?
[23:59:00] LiquidSlumber: yeah, just use a tv for that
[23:59:00] kormoc: just select which shows you want and let it record them all nice?
[23:59:00] LiquidSlumber: myth is much better for recording tv than watching
[23:59:00] LiquidSlumber: except that is, for the epg
