[00:00:00] mejo: unfortunately i cannot find the option in kernel menuconfig to enable the ir_kbd_i2c or ir_kbd_gpio modules.
[00:00:00] dh1: quick question. lircd always looks on /dev/lirc. i have /dev/lirc0. i make a symlink and that worked. What do i do to make it last after a reboot?
[00:00:00] dh1: i made*
[00:01:00] mejo: dh1: do you have static /dev, udev or devfs?
[00:01:00] mejo: with udev simply add a rule to /etc/udev/links.conf
[00:01:00] Drizzt321: mejo: erm...you need the ivtv lirc module I believe.
[00:01:00] dh1: um i dunno. how do i find out?
[00:02:00] dh1: looks like i have a udev config file

[00:02:00] dh1: what would be the line that i add to that?
[00:02:00] mejo: Drizzt321: http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=Remotes talks about ir_kbd_i2c which comes in kernel mainline.
[00:02:00] dh1: mejo?
[00:03:00] jonK (js2638@xmission.xmission.com) Quit ("BitchX-1.1-final -- just do it.")
[00:03:00] Drizzt321: mejo: did you build your own kernel or are using a pre-configured one?
[00:05:00] mejo: dh1: KERNEL=="lirc0", SYMLINK+="lirc" <- add this line to /etc/udev/udev.rules.
[00:05:00] mejo: afterwards restart udev, and see whether the link exists.
[00:06:00] mejo: Drizzt321: i built my own kernel.
[00:06:00] dh1: thanks
[00:06:00] dh1: gracias mejo
[00:06:00] Drizzt321: mejo: hrm...ok. good choice :)
[00:06:00] dh1: grr,my ssh session died
[00:06:00] mejo: Drizzt321: so do you have an idea about ir_kbd_i2c?
[00:07:00] dh1: mejo. that was suposed to be an ==, right?
[00:07:00] Drizzt321: mejo: not really....I hooked up my remote once too, and got it working, (I too have the 350), but didn't bother using it since I live in a single dorm room, so everything is pretty much in reach. so I got the ati remote wonder since I didn't want to have to ever worry about direction

[00:31:00] slide: Is there anyway to stream my music using mythweb?
[00:31:00] slide: or video?
[00:31:00] slide: id like to not have to download it fully
[00:33:00] Drizzt321: slide: well, you could have it as a file share, smb or nfs
[00:34:00] slide: id to be able to access it from over the internet also
[00:34:00] Drizzt321: ahhh
[00:34:00] Drizzt321: erm...well, mythweb is a standard http server, and most players now(not sure about windows media player) let you stream directly from an http server
[00:35:00] Drizzt321: slide: providing that you have fast enough upstream connection on your system that mythweb is on
[00:35:00] slide: yea, i might need to talk to the firefox people to see how to do that on linux
[00:35:00] Drizzt321: ahh...
[00:35:00] Drizzt321: wha?
[00:35:00] Drizzt321: what does firefox have to do with it?
[00:35:00] slide: to get firefox to just send the link to the player instead of downloading the file
[00:35:00] Drizzt321: ohh
[00:36:00] Drizzt321: ah, you can do open with, which you can set to a executable script perhaps, or configure your fav player to enque files
[00:36:00] slide: yea, but open with saves it first, which is the prob =\
[00:36:00] Drizzt321: oh, I see
[00:37:00] Drizzt321: hrmmm
[00:37:00] Drizzt321: well, it would be annoying, but right click, and copy link
[00:37:00] slide: yea hehe
[00:37:00] Drizzt321: that'd be a good download extension ;)

[01:07:00] Drizzt321: no, evening!
[01:08:00] SarahEmm: wheee. anyone else have issues with myth speeding up to like 8x normal speed randomly? it doesn't think it's doing it, but the A and V both speed up
[01:11:00] Drizzt321: odd. nope. but I have having issues trying to get my remote wonder working...
[01:11:00] Drizzt321: that and I somehow screwed up my current mouse settings so thats not working now under normal X
[01:11:00] Drizzt321: *sigh*

[01:14:00] diamon: 8x normal speed in video playback I assume?
[01:14:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: nope
[01:14:00] SarahEmm: diamon: yeah.
[01:14:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, a large precent of women have some sorta bond with cats, and it's just odd at times how many do
[01:14:00] SarahEmm: audio sounds faster too, and the video/captions is faster

[01:16:00] SarahEmm: mewmew :)
[01:16:00] Drizzt321: hrm...if I'm getting "APIC error on CPU0: 02(02)" thats not good at all, huh?

[01:17:00] Drizzt321: diamon: indeed. I used to work where we had vaxen :)

[01:17:00] diamon: Drizzit: I know, it's a 'real' term, but it still amuses me.  :P
[01:17:00] diamon: And yes, APIC errors are a Not Good Thing.
[01:18:00] Drizzt321: crap :(
[01:18:00] Drizzt321: a whaaa?!?

[01:19:00] mejo: hi
[01:19:00] diamon: You might want to see if there's an updated BIOS you can get for that mobo, sounds like something's funky there.
[01:19:00] SarahEmm: Drizzt321: you didn't just push an NMI button, did you? ;)
[01:19:00] cortezdapimp: hey
[01:19:00] Drizzt321: never saw this before...
[01:19:00] mejo: i try to setup the remote for my pvr-350, and i built the lirc modules.
[01:19:00] Drizzt321: SarahEmm: NMI button?
[01:19:00] Drizzt321: not much info?
[01:20:00] mejo: now when i start 'lircd -n --device=/dev/lirc0' and then run 'irw', i get no output when testing the remote.
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: NMI is Non Maskable Interrupt.
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: it's a kind of interrupt that can't be masked.
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: ...
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: duh, sarah.
[01:21:00] diamon: mejo: You do have the module info entered into modprobe.conf anf have loaded the module, yes?
[01:21:00] Drizzt321: SarahEmm: really odd...
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: hrm
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: i wonder if lack of CPU is causing framedrops
[01:22:00] diamon: Drizzit321: SMile and not; it's what I'll do.  :)
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: that'd explain the speed thing, i think?
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: 0.0% idle
[01:22:00] Drizzt321: diamon: you mean nod?
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: 0.18.1 seems to use quite a bit more CPU than 0.16 did?
[01:22:00] diamon: You want to keep 10% idle if you can to prevent frame loss.
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: i'm running software encoding here heh
[01:22:00] SarahEmm: hrm.
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: it was okay before this version =-/
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: maybe i need to drop a faster CPU in..
[01:23:00] diamon: Drizzit321: Don't speak to me sensibly, man, I don't have any caffiene in me yet!  :P
[01:23:00] mejo: diamon: i have loaded lirc-dev and lirc-i2c. lirc-i2c automaticly loaded bttv and ivtv.
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: i'm tempted to build like a dual 3GHz box and put 2 or 3 TV cards in :)
[01:23:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, just buy a mpeg encoder, much nicer :P
[01:23:00] Drizzt321: diamon: haha
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: i can't
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: no closed captioning
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: i have one, but it's not useful for tv for me
[01:23:00] kormoc: ooh :/
[01:23:00] diamon: Wow, with dual 3Ghz you could do some nifty HDTV stuff...
[01:24:00] Drizzt321: SarahEmm: no, just make a single dual core 2.2 A64 :)
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: Drizzt321: that'd work
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: yeah =-/ no good CC support other than on v4l cards
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: diamon: or multiple SDTV ones
[01:24:00] Drizzt321: SarahEmm: or...get a dual opteron board with a single dual core to start with. hehehe
[01:24:00] ** xris notes that SarahEmm helps pay his and kormoc's paychecks... **
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: how so xris?
[01:25:00] xris: you play secondlife.
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: you work at LL?
[01:25:00] xris: we build their servers
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: ahh
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: nice :)
[01:25:00] Drizzt321: cool
[01:25:00] xris: about 1 rack each month of dual opterons.
[01:25:00] kormoc: so use up more resources! Stat! :P
[01:25:00] Drizzt321: I've heard of second life
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: how did you know i play SL? heh
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: resources cost money for players :P
[01:25:00] xris: SarahEmm: you have a screenshot on your website
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: oh.
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: yes, yes i do. old one ;)
[01:25:00] kormoc: aww :/
[01:26:00] mejo: diamon: any ideas?
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: Drizzt321: yeah... i'm thinking that might be the best option right now
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: anyone running multiple software encoders here?
[01:26:00] Drizzt321: nope, but I do have a single pvr-350 ;)
[01:26:00] xris: SarahEmm: never had the cpu for it.
[01:26:00] Drizzt321: get a couple of 150/250's
[01:26:00] kormoc: Drizzt321, we went over that already, she can't :P
[01:27:00] Drizzt321: hrm?
[01:27:00] diamon: mejo: Do the cards themselves work?
[01:27:00] kormoc: Drizzt321, she needs CC support, which mpeg cards odn't have.
[01:27:00] SarahEmm: Drizzt321: i can't :P
[01:27:00] mejo: diamon: yes, it's only one pvr-350, and it works well here.
[01:27:00] Drizzt321: kormoc: they don't?
[01:27:00] SarahEmm: i have a PVR-500
[01:27:00] kormoc: Drizzt321, evendently not :P
[01:27:00] SarahEmm: well, not 100% true
[01:27:00] Drizzt321: kormoc: I though the pvr cards had CC support
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: PVR-350 and 250 support CC support
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: but myth won't use it
[01:28:00] diamon: sarahemm: I tried multi-bt878 cards and learned my lesson. A sempron 3100+ isn't enough CPU for two software capture streams AFAICT.
[01:28:00] Drizzt321: oh, that part sucks
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: -150 and -500 support it in hardware, but ivtv doesn't yet

[01:28:00] Drizzt321: yea, guess that won't work than
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: so none work hardware-ivtv-myth
[01:28:00] kormoc: diamon, you sure? my 2.4 uses bout 30% for software mpeg4 encode, it should be able to handle 3 if that's true.
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: diamon: yikes! i'm running a 1.7 and it's borderline for livetv but does work
[01:28:00] SarahEmm: (celeron)
[01:29:00] SarahEmm: Drizzt321: no.. s'why i'm considering this option
[01:29:00] SarahEmm: i want to eventually write CC support for myth/ivtv
[01:29:00] SarahEmm: but that's a Big project, and i don't have time..
[01:29:00] diamon: kormoc: I wish there were a standard for this kinda stuff.  :) My ratios always include a decode stream also, as if I can't watch it whenever I feel like, why bother?
[01:29:00] xris: kormoc: but you encode TINY shows.
[01:29:00] Drizzt321: SarahEmm: umph. would some errors in my dmesg from the drm:radeon possible cause the APIC errors?
[01:29:00] kormoc: xris, same bandwidth off the bus no matter what.
[01:29:00] kormoc: xris, it's just low bitrate.
[01:29:00] SarahEmm: i dunno Drizzt321
[01:30:00] Drizzt321: uck
[01:30:00] Drizzt321: all these problems just when I tried to get my remote wonder working, things start blowing up all over the place
[01:30:00] Drizzt321: *sigh*
[01:31:00] diamon: Drizzit321: The remote wonder hooks to an ATI card, right?
[01:31:00] Drizzt321: diamon: no, usb rf receiver
[01:31:00] diamon: Hmm, odd.
[01:31:00] Drizzt321: diamon: kernel support...however for some reason the kernel I was using wouldn't detect it and use it even with the ati_remote module

[01:58:00] Drizzt321: phi0x: hrm. ok.
[01:58:00] phi0x: works in xawtv for live fine and doesnt work fine in mythtv
[01:58:00] phi0x: laggs bad
[01:59:00] phi0x: i dunno if its my box can't support backend and frontend but in windows xp mce it worked fine with my ati hdtv wonder.
[01:59:00] phi0x: and when i used beyond tv with my leadtek in windows as well.

[01:59:00] Drizzt321: I know it seems to me that myth adds some extra overhead. when I switched from display on my monitor to the mpeg2 output on my pvr350, things sped up considerably
[01:59:00] phi0x: xawtv seemed to work fine
[02:00:00] phi0x: my system has 1700+ XP athlon, ati 9600SE, 768mb ram pc2100 20gb hd
[02:00:00] phi0x: and i have a 200gb which it will record to once i set that drive up
[02:00:00] phi0x: but i just want the video feed working properly.
[02:00:00] phi0x: so i can later on hookup some frontends to it
[02:00:00] phi0x: is it a setting in mythtv that will make it smoother/fast
[02:00:00] phi0x: because i know now that my system/linux can handle it
[02:01:00] phi0x: its just can it handle mythtv ;/
[02:01:00] Drizzt321: phi0x: I know there are some settings in the setup for cpu friendly/unfriendly stuff, mostly dealing with overlays and such
[02:01:00] phi0x: ya
[02:01:00] Drizzt321: phi0x: can't remember them all, but you might want to check through the frontend setup again

[02:04:00] phi0x: thats a diff app

[02:09:00] diamon: vegbox: Check dmesg, did it set your tuner option properly? Mine wasn't auto-detecting.
[02:10:00] Drizzt321: vegbox: oh yea, try changing your input to tuner with ivtvctl
[02:10:00] Drizzt321: vegbox: you might also need to change the freq its set to to get an actual channel
[02:10:00] vegbox: all this is jibberish to me
[02:10:00] vegbox: lol
[02:10:00] diamon: Should be input #6 for a PVR-150.
[02:10:00] vegbox: 6?
[02:10:00] vegbox: so i should use ptune.pl?
[02:11:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[02:11:00] diamon: I think that sounds right.
[02:11:00] mchou: bah, I am sorely tempted by the 250GB drive for $50.......

[02:18:00] diamon: Dammit, I've just confirmed some random (and somewhat small) section of PVR-150 owners don't have AVC working properly and get clipping with the audio, and the PVR-150's current driver capabilities haven't added volume control for some reason. Bah, I'll need to patch a kernel and rebuild everything to fix this.

[02:20:00] diamon: I'm still low on caffiene this morning, so I'm not fussy about terms yet. Wnatever, AGC is failing and I need to adjust my volume, which the ivtv driver doesn't have done right yet, so I'll need to patch it.
[02:20:00] Chutt: why would you need to rebuild the kernel?
[02:20:00] diamon: Can I build ivtv separately?
[02:21:00] Chutt: err

[03:53:00] GreyFoxx: It's trying to read from composite/svideo instea dof the tuner
[03:53:00] Chutt: a black window means wrong input, or an error that'd show up in the backend output

[03:53:00] GreyFoxx: vegbox: No
[03:54:00] GreyFoxx: vegbox: Your symptoms sound like wrong tunertype, his sound like wrong input set

[03:54:00] vegbox: how do i fix a wrong tunner type
[03:55:00] vegbox: there is only tunner 0 and 1
[03:55:00] vegbox: right?
[03:55:00] Chutt: uh, tvtime?
[03:55:00] djo_: tvtime is another v4l front-end program
[03:55:00] Chutt: which doesn't work for ivtv
[03:55:00] GreyFoxx: vegbox: No, when the tuner module is loaded it is either being told the wrong tuner type or is detecting the wrong one

[04:29:00] GreyFoxx: have you run mythfilldatabase ? To populate the channels and such ?

[04:30:00] djo_: This is one area I don't really understand, so please bear with me...

[09:02:00] SlicerDicer-: thanks xris sorry had to run
[09:02:00] mchou: woohoo!
[09:02:00] SlicerDicer-: hi mchou
[09:02:00] mchou: it looks avermedia a180 might be supported in linux.
[09:02:00] mchou: hi SlicerDicer-
[09:03:00] mchou: man, that would be so cool.
[09:03:00] poonj: mchou, do you know where I can find information on DVD authoring?

[09:03:00] mchou: poonj: no idea
[09:03:00] poonj: mchou, like a howto or something...umm okay
[09:03:00] giloth: overlays are preventing me from watching myth on my actual tv using tv-out... i went to the xorg.conf and disabled overlays, but the video lags like you wouldn't believe... any possible workarounds on this?
[09:04:00] SlicerDicer-: poonj, did you try google for 'dvd authoring howto"?
[09:05:00] mchou: No need for expensive HDTV cards....:)
[09:05:00] poonj: yeah..I found one....but I wanted as many resources as possible
[09:05:00] poonj: SlicerDicer, thanks
[09:05:00] SlicerDicer-: well I am sure there is a ton of them
[09:06:00] xris: man, no one told me the nuvexport page was down
[09:07:00] mchou: looks the Fusion will make it to linux too.....
[09:07:00] mchou: that'd be sweet.
[09:07:00] SlicerDicer-: hey mchou I am getting a new cellphone I am hoping to eventually get it to work with mythtv or at least thats the goal
[09:08:00] mchou: there is no way BBTI can continue charging >$159 for the HDTV card.
[09:08:00] mchou: SlicerDicer-: what the hell for?
[09:08:00] SlicerDicer-: haha
[09:08:00] SlicerDicer-: I love it
[09:08:00] mchou: you wanna get phonecalls while watching TV? :)
[09:08:00] SlicerDicer-: well I am getting the phone for other purposes
[09:09:00] SlicerDicer-: but why not try to make it interface with mythtv and play movies
[09:09:00] SlicerDicer-: I think it would be funny as hell
[09:09:00] mchou: sigh. kids.
[09:09:00] SlicerDicer-: be walking around my house watching movies
[09:09:00] SlicerDicer-: 520mhz cpu should be plenty eh?
[09:09:00] mchou: who wants to watch a postage stamp movie?
[09:09:00] SlicerDicer-: postage stamp my ass
[09:10:00] SlicerDicer-: http://www.expansys-usa.com/zoompic.asp?type= . . . ;code=121444
[09:10:00] mchou: uh, that's not a phone.
[09:10:00] SlicerDicer-: bullshit
[09:10:00] SlicerDicer-: gprs triband
[09:11:00] SlicerDicer-: The unit is a fully integrated voice enabled GSM/GPRS portable personal computing device that runs the phone edition of Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and features a built-in XVGA-resolution (1.3 megapixel) digital camera. Also features an SDIO slot, so you can use memory cards as well as other devices like GPS cards.
[09:11:00] mchou: SlicerDicer-: I think it's a complete waste
[09:11:00] mchou: as far as mythtv is concerned.
[09:11:00] SlicerDicer-: well I am getting the phone for other uses than that but it would be fun to experiment with
[09:12:00] SlicerDicer-: consider that the phones that I typically get are that costly if not more and dont do everything that one does so its full worth it to me
[09:12:00] mchou: you better make sure you can rotate the display. :)
[09:12:00] SlicerDicer-: yep you can
[09:12:00] mchou: what proc is in it?

[09:15:00] mchou: a mac is powerPC
[09:15:00] SlicerDicer-: lol
[09:15:00] ** SlicerDicer- smokes more **
[09:15:00] mchou: that's like 800mhz intel
[09:16:00] SlicerDicer-: well hey it cant hurt to try man
[09:16:00] mchou: well, you know my sentiments on it.
[09:16:00] mchou: a complete waste :)
[09:16:00] SlicerDicer-: I mean what do I really do thats not a waste of time
[09:16:00] SlicerDicer-: I run gentoo for christs sake
[09:17:00] mchou: well, there ya go :)
[09:18:00] mchou: the good news is PXA includes MMX :)
[09:18:00] SlicerDicer-: hehe
[09:19:00] mchou: but I doubt it will be enough juice to decode video from myth unless it's really low res.
[09:20:00] SlicerDicer-: well I think the res on that is really low
[09:20:00] SlicerDicer-: let me check
[09:21:00] SlicerDicer-: 240x320 resolution
[09:21:00] SlicerDicer-: thats pretty small
[09:21:00] mchou: lol, you capture in myth at that res?
[09:21:00] SlicerDicer-: no....
[09:21:00] SlicerDicer-: but I could!
[09:22:00] SlicerDicer-: ffs man... wont it scale?
[09:22:00] SlicerDicer-: lol
[09:23:00] SlicerDicer-: I mean the image scales up and down for my tv
[09:23:00] SlicerDicer-: i capture at a larger resolution than 800x600 and my tv scales it down
[09:23:00] mchou: scaling takes even more CPU.

[09:23:00] SlicerDicer-: it was a fun idea
[09:24:00] mchou: depends on programming, but generally yes.

[09:32:00] mchou: anyway, I still think it's likely to be underpowered.

[11:25:00] EL_Whistey: Heh.
[11:25:00] EL_Whistey: Ok ... here's one.
[11:26:00] EL_Whistey: The idea of a client server architecture for mythtv is a very good one, an excellent one.
[11:26:00] EL_Whistey: However: you implemented your own streaming protocol, I think/surmise.
[11:26:00] EL_Whistey: So: good idea, not so good implementation.
[11:26:00] Chutt: because nothing else existed at the time that would work
[11:26:00] EL_Whistey: So your value add in that case is the streaming protocol?
[11:27:00] Chutt: value add?
[11:27:00] EL_Whistey: mythtv's enduring contribution to the world.
[11:27:00] EL_Whistey: perhaps the implementation's great, actually. I don't know.
[11:27:00] Chutt: what the hell do i care about contributing to the world?
[11:27:00] Chutt: i wanted something that worked
[11:29:00] EL_Whistey: I guess I came from a C++ big monolithic system background and have discovered the wonders of the old unix way.
[11:29:00] Chutt: i wrote my own protocols because nothing else existed 3 years ago that would possibly work for what i needed it to
[11:29:00] EL_Whistey: and the problems.
[11:29:00] EL_Whistey: why not publish the protocols then?
[11:30:00] Chutt: because they're likely not useful for other people
[11:30:00] Chutt: and it's damn easy to figure out if anyone was interested

[11:31:00] EL_Whistey: So when stuff works it continues to work.
[11:31:00] Chutt: it's a whole bunch of libraries
[11:31:00] EL_Whistey: the glue is C++.
[11:31:00] Chutt: so?
[11:31:00] EL_Whistey: I was thinking of scripting language glue.
[11:31:00] Chutt: scripting languages suck for ui work

[11:36:00] EL_Whistey: Maybe you have. I dunno.
[11:37:00] Chutt: probably not the specifics
[11:37:00] Chutt: but in general, almost certainly
[11:37:00] EL_Whistey: Perhaps I should demonstrate what I mean, and we can then compare notes.

[11:38:00] EL_Whistey: Some of it might be ripped from mythtv, if that's ok with you.
[11:38:00] Chutt: why would it?

[11:39:00] EL_Whistey: yeah, well, there's a good reason for that.
[11:40:00] EL_Whistey: They look sumptuous.
[11:40:00] Chutt: theoretically, there's nothing stopping a UI wrapper for any randomass scripting language, in myth
[11:40:00] EL_Whistey: there's a really good visual aesthetic running through mythtv.
[11:40:00] Chutt: especially with the new ui code
[11:41:00] Chutt: you really think that?
[11:41:00] Chutt: the current ui's horribly disjointed
[11:41:00] EL_Whistey: I think the graphics are great.
[11:41:00] Chutt: it's been done by too many different people
[11:41:00] EL_Whistey: I think the visual look of the thing is great.
[11:41:00] EL_Whistey: yeah, ok, it doesn't hang together as a whole, but there are high spots.
[11:41:00] Chutt: uses too many different ways to do the same action in different parts of the program
[11:41:00] EL_Whistey: And anyway, the fact you chose Qt means you were after lovely eyecandy.
[11:42:00] Chutt: but i haven't used any qt ui for ages
[11:42:00] EL_Whistey: Yeah, I can see that, but the highspots are very high.
[11:42:00] Chutt: and that was the first thing to go :p
[11:42:00] Chutt: i chose qt because i hadn't used it before, and i was curious
[11:42:00] EL_Whistey: it has a consumer/industrial feel to it, the whole thing.
[11:42:00] EL_Whistey: My missus and kids relate to it as an appliance.
[11:43:00] Chutt: right, that's why the ui's all custom code
[11:43:00] Chutt: and why the current stuff sucks, too =)
[11:43:00] EL_Whistey: well, hmmm.
[11:43:00] EL_Whistey: Perhaps the GUI could be completely split off from the rest.
[11:43:00] Chutt: that's what i'm doing with the mythui library
[11:44:00] Chutt: and mostly what thor's been working towards with mfd
[11:44:00] EL_Whistey: ok. You could find others want to use that in other apps. Not tv related.
[11:44:00] Chutt: all the lower level code's in mfd, and the ui's really just a separate client app
[11:44:00] EL_Whistey: I guess it's like a kiosk UI framework.
[11:45:00] Chutt: naw, i wouldn't bother releasing it separately
[11:45:00] EL_Whistey: What's mfd? I'm a mythn00b, I don't grok the TLAs
[11:45:00] Chutt: 'myth frontend daemon'
[11:45:00] Chutt: right now it acts as a music database, playback engine, and cd ripping/encoding bits
[11:45:00] fatmatt: Chutt: are there plans to replace the whole frontend?
[11:45:00] Chutt: pretty much, yeah
[11:46:00] Chutt: the dvd ripping stuff will go into mfd, and hopefully someone will start on burning stuff
[11:46:00] Chutt: not _exactly_ sure about video playback itself, but..
[11:47:00] Chutt: uses rendevous/bonjour/whatnot to autodiscover other mfd instances on the same network
[11:47:00] Chutt: basically, mfd's a simple server that can run random other plugins that can advertise themselves as different services on the network
[11:47:00] EL_Whistey: It's not nothing to have a pretty themeable gui which interacts well with lircd and interacts with a processing backend.
[11:48:00] Chutt: well, then when that's complete, the frontend talks to mfd for most everything
[11:48:00] EL_Whistey: although the architectural relationship between the front end and lots of like parallel workflows is not beautiful.
[11:48:00] Chutt: and the frontend just becomes an even simpler client than it is now
[11:49:00] EL_Whistey: so what's mfd do? What's its purpose in life?
[11:49:00] Chutt: i just said what it does
[11:49:00] EL_Whistey: it kicks off processes and supervises them and lets the front end get status, and start and stop them and pause schedule etc?
[11:49:00] EL_Whistey: Yeah, but that's kinda mythtv specific.
[11:49:00] Chutt: so?
[11:50:00] EL_Whistey: So sometimes it's helpful to know what you're actually doing.
[11:50:00] Fat_Matt (~fatmatt@DC-161-47.bpb.bigpond.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[11:50:00] Chutt: err, i know what i'm doing
[11:50:00] Fat_Matt: Chutt: mfd at the moment though doesn't do the tv/video stuff?
[11:50:00] Fat_Matt: and... when you say it acts as a music database, does it not use the backend database?
[11:50:00] Chutt: right, no tv/video yet
[11:51:00] EL_Whistey: heh, not suggesting you don't know what you're doing, but is what you're doing perhaps not a specific example of something much more general and widely useful/known.
[11:51:00] Chutt: right, i didn't mean the sql db stuff
[11:51:00] Chutt: not really. not much stuff uses rendesvous :p
[11:52:00] Chutt: most of it's moving stuff out of the frontend into a separate process, really
[11:52:00] EL_Whistey: I'm familiar with the term rendezvous as an interprocess synchronisation style.
[11:52:00] Chutt: apple's stuff.
[11:52:00] EL_Whistey: Is that what you're meaning by the term, or is it a specific ... oh, ok. A specific system.
[11:52:00] Fat_Matt: is the idea that frontends would either have their own music collection or nfs access to a central collection?
[11:53:00] Chutt: fat_matt, the mfd would, and would be able to stream on demand
[11:53:00] Chutt: same with video files

[11:54:00] ** EL_Whistey afk to pick up the spouse. **
[11:54:00] Fat_Matt: so there's no central database as such for anything apart from the tv recordings?
[11:54:00] Chutt: there's still probably be one sql server
[11:54:00] Chutt: it just won't matter at all where media is
[11:54:00] Chutt: well, s'long as it's local
[11:55:00] Chutt: multicast stuff doesn't go over the internet too well =)
[11:55:00] splAt1 is now known as splat1
[11:55:00] Fat_Matt: so I could still keep everything on a central server and use samba or something to mount it locally?
[11:56:00] Chutt: sure
[11:56:00] Fat_Matt: or I could split everythign up, distribute it
[11:56:00] Chutt: right
[11:56:00] Chutt: it really shouldn't matter
[11:56:00] Fat_Matt: my heads spinning, sounds nifty
[11:56:00] Chutt: it is =)
[11:56:00] Chutt: thor's been working on it for quite awhile
[11:58:00] Fat_Matt: where does mfe come in? is there a client app?
[11:58:00] Chutt: it's a test app for mfd
[12:00:00] Fat_Matt: if I installed mfd on a client, is there a chance it would screw up the current myth install,
[12:00:00] Chutt: sure
[12:00:00] Chutt: it shouldn't, though
[12:01:00] Fat_Matt: it doesn't connect to the current backend and make database changes? I might give it a shot when I get some time
[12:01:00] Chutt: it did at one point make database changes
[12:01:00] Chutt: if you've got a current myth install, though, it shouldn't be
[12:01:00] Chutt: but it may again in the future :p
[12:02:00] Fat_Matt: it's difficult getting access to the box I run myth on, it's in use a lot. Scheduled maintenance involves me waking up early or staying up late
[12:03:00] Fat_Matt: weird thing is, I watch less tv, but a whole lot less crap
[12:05:00] Chutt: heh

[14:50:00] adante: as in how do i enable it, and which profiles do i edit to configure it

[15:16:00] adante: well if someone can let me know how to enable this elusive option that'd be great – the only thing i can find is mythtv-setup -> 1. general -> page 7, which refers to auto-transcode and auto-commflag options, but i can't for the life of me figure out where said options are..
[15:16:00] didj: adante: in mythfrontend, tv settings->recording profiles, or something
[15:17:00] didj: then in each encoder profile, you set if you want it to auto transcode
[15:17:00] Geckofiend: of course it's silly to auto transcode, cut commercials then treansode again
[15:17:00] didj: if you capture straight to mpeg2 (some tuners + DVB), it doesnt encode, but afaik it still follows the auto transcode rules

[15:24:00] diamon: So is there then a way to merely auto-cut out commercials so the recordings take up less space?
[15:24:00] adante: didj: yeah i'm running dvb.. i still can't find this auto-transcode option however
[15:25:00] adante: didj: i'm looking in mythfrontend -> setup -> recording profiles -> select transcoders
[15:25:00] didj: adante: i personally just rip to disk, edit out commercials, then transcode
[15:25:00] didj: but yea, you should have 'DVB Encoders' and 'Transcoders'
[15:25:00] adante: didj: i have 'hardware dvb encoders' and 'transcoders'

[15:25:00] didj: ;P
[15:25:00] adante: which one? :]
[15:26:00] didj: if its dvb, it records the stream to disk anyway
[15:26:00] didj: w/o really "encoding"
[15:26:00] adante: when i goto hardware dvb encoders it gets me to select default, live tv, low quality and high quality  — i have no idea what this refers to?
[15:26:00] didj: but i guess, if you go into DVB encode, default profile, and check the 'Auto transcode' option
[15:26:00] didj: it should transcode after

[16:52:00] Beirdo: sure looks it on the map :)
[16:52:00] D-side: verizon describes these places as "two man areas"
[16:52:00] Beirdo: heh

[16:53:00] D-side: were they wont go and fix customer problems unless theres at least two trucks rolling to the same spot
[16:53:00] D-side: just about.
[16:53:00] D-side: they've had police escorts before.
[16:54:00] Beirdo: but it's no wonder that NYC residents diss Jersey.. look what they see.
[16:54:00] D-side: no, thtas just NYCer arrogance really. :)

[16:55:00] Beirdo: check that the index file exists
[16:55:00] D-side: what generates the index file?
[16:55:00] Beirdo: if you are using mpeg2cut, you need write access to the dir with the .nuv file in it
[16:56:00] Beirdo: if you aren't, then I dunno.. there's gotta be other messages somewhere?
[16:57:00] D-side: yeah, write access is just fine. i'm looking for ways to generate more error messages with this, like a debug flag somewhere.
[16:57:00] Beirdo: ah
[16:57:00] D-side: this worked one day, and stopped the next. i cant for the life of me figure out what i broke (or when and how)
[16:57:00] Beirdo: in desparation, you could use strace, but it will surely be a mess
[16:57:00] D-side: thats true enough.
[16:58:00] Beirdo: it may not show the issue either, but it's something to try if all else fails
[16:59:00] D-side: let me ask you a dumb question and then i'll leave you alone.
[17:00:00] Beirdo: heh
[17:00:00] D-side: when in nuvexport (if you know) did the ability to rename output files go away?
[17:00:00] Beirdo: they are autogenerated now to my knowledge
[17:00:00] Beirdo: but shouldn't overwrite current files or each other
[17:01:00] D-side: i'm wondering if its not liking the original filenames for some reason.
[17:01:00] Beirdo: it's possible
[17:01:00] Beirdo: I don't recall seeing that problem, but it's certainly a possibility
[17:02:00] Beirdo: some retard brought in an empty jewel case.. well THAT CD will be tough to rip today
[17:02:00] Beirdo: the CD's in the laptop at home still

[18:23:00] kormoc: of course. :)
[18:24:00] CyberKnet: I also wanted to use the atrpms compiled ivtv on my FC box. but alas, it would not work.
[18:24:00] CyberKnet: so I understand the draw.
[18:24:00] kormoc: I'll just write a ebuild for the newer version, tis not that hard
[18:24:00] CyberKnet: heh
[18:24:00] kormoc: tho, ivtvcrl is reporting VIDEO_STATUS = bad

[18:25:00] LedHed: I'm looking at installing 0.18.1 on FC4, but I'm having trouble compiling. I get an error with common.h. which seems to have something to do with MMX. (I hate compiling)

[18:26:00] xris: so mythweb svn fans should update.

[18:30:00] diamon: The 'failed to load tuner' and 'failed to load saa7115' errors aren't good though.
[18:30:00] CyberKnet: what input are you capturing from?
[18:30:00] diamon: LedHed: That's not very good. How full does the swap get?
[18:31:00] LedHed: 90–95%
[18:31:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, tuner-0
[18:31:00] kormoc: diamon, yeah, I manually loaded them for this one, else they just don't get loaded.
[18:32:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: Hmmm. I would definitely try 0.3 instead.
[18:33:00] ** kormoc nods **
[18:35:00] diamon: Odd that the later load doesn't show though, you sure they're loading?
[18:35:00] kormoc: yeah
[18:35:00] kormoc: they load before ivtv
[18:38:00] diamon: LedHed: Ok, I'm thinking 90% usage on 256Mb ram is a bit on the 'way too darn high' side in my book.
[18:39:00] aent (~skobel@64.192.79.120) Quit ("Leaving")
[18:39:00] diamon: LedHed: Most of my systems have 512 or 1Gb ram, so I may be a bit spoiled, but you may be well served adding another 256–512Mb RAM in that system, or cutting down the amount of unneeded services running, like print queues, etc.
[18:39:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, .3.6z is installing
[18:41:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: if that doesn't work, I saw a post that said r worked for the m179
[18:41:00] diamon: I'm currently using about 3Mb of swap on a system with 1Gb ram and a pretty badass (if I say so myself) MythTV setup.
[18:41:00] LedHed: that was my thought also. I rebooted it and now after 24hrs its at 66mb of 512mb. I'll keep an eye on it. I don't think a frontend needs 512mb. But I'm not a linux expert.
[18:41:00] diamon: Frankly, I'm not used to much memory usage really, so my perception may be a bit off, but if you're more heavily into swap than main memory, I usually suggest an upgrade.
[18:41:00] CyberKnet: diamon: Yeah. I have 768mb ram, 768mb swap, 0 swap used.
[18:42:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, http://pastebin.ca/17635
[18:42:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, that look better?
[18:42:00] diamon: If nothing else, HDD's are on the order of 100 to 1000 times slower than RAM, so RAM is far preferrable to swap.
[18:42:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: Yes, much.
[18:43:00] ** kormoc nods **
[18:43:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: try and change channel, and do a test capture.
[18:43:00] CyberKnet: I have a script for my 500 that sets all the appropros if you like
[18:43:00] LedHed: I agree that ram is better than swap. But I dont see why it would need more than 256mb. Unless 2.6/FC3 needs more ram than the 2.4 kernel.
[18:43:00] LedHed: When I was on FC1 and Myth 0.16 I never had a swap issue.
[18:44:00] diamon: The 2.6 kernel does need more, it uses the first 4Mb of RAM (or was it 16?) instead of the first 1Mb, so there are some size differences, but it shouldn't be huge. I'd bet it's other programs and services that are running up the memory usage.
[18:45:00] agile (~mike@office.cavoksolutions.com) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[18:46:00] LedHed: Strange. Its not running much other than X11/Gnome, MythFrontend, Xine... Most of the other services are off.
[18:46:00] diamon: kormoc: I note your encoder and decoder firmwares vary from each other. FYI, I had hell with my audio on a PVR-150 (not the same, but what the hell) until I got my firmware and roms all from the same source. YMMV and all.
[18:46:00] kormoc: diamon, yeah, hrm. any ideas on how to fix that?
[18:47:00] diamon: kormoc: I used the ivtvfwextract.pl script and my CD that came with my card to get everything from one source.
[18:47:00] CyberKnet: diamon: he didn't get a cd.
[18:47:00] kormoc: ahh, I don't have a cd :)
[18:48:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: also, there isn't a firmware in a usable format on that cd that I know if.
[18:48:00] kormoc: any idea what firmware you used?
[18:48:00] diamon: It would work from the downloaded drivers, there's just more manual finessing. Assuming the M179 does things the same way anyway.
[18:48:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: you might find this useful: http://pastebin.ca/17635

[18:53:00] ** kormoc nods **
[18:53:00] kormoc: what channel does it get set to?
[18:53:00] CyberKnet: just figured you could do without having to script it yourself.

[18:54:00] CyberKnet: you can change that on the ptune.pl line

[18:56:00] diamon: LedHed: I'm showing my FC3 system to have extras running like CUps and pcmcia services, not sure if those might save you some memory to do without. And maybe trim down the AGP memory buffer, to 32 or 64Mb, I think the kernel tries harder for 2.6 to actually reserve the AGP aperature size in memory, which might be a good chunk of your problem.
[18:57:00] diamon: Many motherboards try to save 256 or 128Mb, so maybe try scooting that down a notch or two. I doubt I'd go below 32Mb, just to be safe.

[19:02:00] LedHed: When playing a movie through MythDVD/Xine. Top shows that X is using 25% CPU and Xine is only using 15%. That seems strange. Why would X be using that much CPU?
[19:03:00] Chutt: pci video card
[19:03:00] LedHed: yup
[19:03:00] diamon: Led: PCI requires more handholding than AGP, would be my bet.
[19:03:00] Chutt: slooow
[19:03:00] LedHed: I blew out my AGP slot.  ;)
[19:03:00] diamon: LedHed: How so?
[19:04:00] LedHed: put a older card in the AGP slot that was not designed for that voltage....
[19:04:00] CyberKnet: that's talent for you =P"
[19:04:00] diamon: Oh, ow ow owwww. They're serious about that sticker, the one that says USE AGP 2.0 OR HIGHER ONLY!
[19:04:00] LedHed: yup. It didn't occure to me that there were different voltages on AGP cards...

[19:05:00] kormoc: if it helps, I found that a pci nvidia card is about 1/3 the speed of the same card agp style
[19:05:00] LedHed: none. Just the Video card and the AGP slot. I can actually use the AGP slot but as soon as I try to load the GART it craps out....

[19:06:00] diamon: fatmatt: Find it?
[19:06:00] fatmatt: I don't have any agp/video options in the bios
[19:06:00] fatmatt: prettybasic
[19:07:00] LedHed: I would just replace the MoBo but I have a LCD Soldered to the LPT port and Lirc Reciever soldered to the Serial....
[19:07:00] tim: kormoc, what about pci express?
[19:07:00] kormoc: tim, that should be == or faster then agp, but I donno, never worked with it.
[19:07:00] tim: cool thx
[19:07:00] diamon: Checked under Chipset options? It should be called AGP Texture memory or something like that, or AGP Aperature Size.
[19:07:00] LedHed: its a faster bus, but cards arent really taking advantage of it yet...
[19:08:00] diamon: LedHed: That's why I always spring a buck-fifty to get the serial port connectors from radio shack...
[19:08:00] LedHed: kinda like agp 1.0 was to PCI.
[19:09:00] LedHed: diamon, I soldered them to keep the Case clean. I dont want wires running all over the outside of the case... So I ran them inside...
[19:09:00] fatmatt: I don't think there was even a chipset options, laptop, award bios, weird
[19:09:00] diamon: fatmatt: Oh, laptops always have far more limited BIOS than desktops.
[19:09:00] fatmatt: had advanced options to get at irqs for serial/parallel ports, but nothing really useful
[19:10:00] LedHed: fatmatt, with a laptop the Bios is usually very customixed to the specific hardware and doesnt give you to many options.

[19:24:00] ** kormoc likes dd for this one **

[19:25:00] kormoc: yeah, cause I can say, only get 128k and stop :)
[19:26:00] kormoc: black screen with 0
[19:26:00] CyberKnet: aha
[19:26:00] CyberKnet: I think I would like dd for it too then
[19:26:00] CyberKnet: I guess 4 must be it then.
[19:26:00] LedHed: fatmatt, MythLCD displays mythtv information such as Menu Title, Track title, Movie title, Movie time, Etc.... on a VFD/LCD Display....
[19:27:00] CyberKnet: but as to why it wont change channel ... I don't know.
[19:27:00] CyberKnet: Maybe someone else with more ivtv knowledge than myself might know
[19:27:00] CyberKnet: such as our own never ending found of knowledge, Chutt.
[19:27:00] LedHed: kormoc, is IVTV loading before or after MythBackend?
[19:28:00] kormoc: LedHed, myth isn't loading at all at this point

[19:29:00] LedHed: what distro?
[19:29:00] kormoc: gentoo
[19:30:00] LedHed: on FC3 I had to force MythBackend to load after IVTV otherwise I got Black/Blank video.
[19:30:00] kormoc: I get a picture on input 4, but I can't change the channel, it just silently fails
[19:31:00] LedHed: dump your tunner configs
[19:31:00] kormoc: hrm?
[19:31:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: he's only getting black video because we were testing the other inputs
[19:31:00] LedHed: mythtv-setup will ask you if you want to dump your tunner configs when you run it...
[19:31:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: There's a tuner input on 4, we were just looking for another one
[19:33:00] LedHed: In the past when I have had trouble changing channels it was related to the tunner config in mythtv-setup
[19:33:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: This isn't trying to change channels in mythtv yet though
[19:33:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: this is just from the command line.
[19:33:00] kormoc: LedHed, yeah, myth isn't involved at this point in the game :)
[19:34:00] LedHed: oh, he cant even change the channel from the command line?
[19:34:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: Nope.
[19:34:00] kormoc: that's right
[19:34:00] LedHed: oh, ok, makes more sense now...

[19:34:00] kormoc: m179
[19:35:00] LedHed: humm.
[19:38:00] LedHed: Jarods howto says to use the ptune-ui.pl to change channels. Is that how you are doing it?
[19:39:00] fatmatt: hmm, is there an option in myth to burn stuff to dvd?
[19:39:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: we're using ptune.pl because we are not at the box in question
[19:39:00] CyberKnet: fatmatt: I honestly don't know, I've never looked for it.

[19:40:00] LedHed: fatmatt, I'm sure you can setup the job queue to do it

[19:42:00] kormoc: but it's with a _

[20:35:00] D-side: markit: you're very likely screwed.
[20:35:00] D-side: markit: make the copy of the dvd when you buy it, and give that one to the kids. :)
[20:35:00] markit: D-side: hehehe, too late for wise suggestions
[20:35:00] Beirdo: there is a DVD/CD polishing kit you might wanna try
[20:36:00] markit: but the dvd palyer plays it, just can't produce a copy
[20:36:00] Beirdo: if it's a scratch, you can often polish/buff it out
[20:36:00] markit: Beirdo: also for scratches?
[20:36:00] Beirdo: yes
[20:36:00] Beirdo: I did that with a few of my CDs

[20:36:00] Beirdo: better than just tossing it

[20:36:00] Beirdo: you can get it at Radio Shack in Canada/US, I think
[20:36:00] markit: I've seen some commercial dvd software duplicators that promise to be able to copy damaged tracks
[20:36:00] Beirdo: in Italy, no clue
[20:37:00] D-side: i've heard people have had a lot of luck with the "disc dr" thing
[20:37:00] markit: D-side: disk dr? what is it? what do you mean?
[20:37:00] Beirdo: this is a polishing compound (much like you'd use on your car to buff out small scratches in the finish)
[20:38:00] markit: ah... it fills holes in the scratched surface, to make it uniform?
[20:38:00] Beirdo: yeah, and the buffing melts the surface slightly to reflow the plastic a bit
[20:39:00] Beirdo: same basic concept
[20:39:00] markit: ok, but any software solution?
[20:39:00] Beirdo: not that I know of

[20:40:00] Beirdo: how odd
[20:40:00] D-side: as the user that can make it go, it fails because no mp2 file is generated
[20:40:00] markit: so having something that "fills with blanks" the damaged part and keep copying what it reads, would be great

[20:57:00] jonK: from th 500 error code
[20:57:00] hadeees: FatDarrel, try #tivohelp
[20:57:00] jonK: i thought the same
[20:58:00] jonK: but would have thought others would have reported the issue
[20:58:00] hadeees: jonK, wait so is it working though?
[20:58:00] rtsai: jonK: most people probably have it run at night
[20:58:00] hadeees: jonK, if so who cares
[20:59:00] jonK: I've ran it at night, in the morning, now in the middle of the day

[20:59:00] FatDarrel: yeah mythtv was great but i think my pvr 250 card is messing up my mobo and my machine would crash it was a great setup but ....
[20:59:00] FatDarrel: and I need a desktop machine and I don't want o spend more than 150$ on a tv recorder but need to figure out how to extract files out of a tivo
[20:59:00] jonK: rtsai I have a tvio1 and still quite like it
[21:00:00] FatDarrel: the tivo1 was a diamond in the rough
[21:00:00] jonK: fat, look up tystudio
[21:00:00] FatDarrel: saw it at a store adn I was impressed by it
[21:00:00] rtsai: you're going to spend $400–600 on a Tivo2 ($300 subscription + box)
[21:00:00] jonK: I added a second drive and network card to my series 1 tivo
[21:01:00] rtsai: jonK: maybe your zap2it account is expired or something
[21:01:00] defaultro: anyone got any ideas on why I can't see in frontend the schedules I've set? It's still in the record table though.
[21:01:00] FatDarrel: rtsai: no buy it second hand on ebay
[21:01:00] jonK: the inital 401 i think it's trying to get an anonymous connnection
[21:01:00] jonK: and then connects using credentials
[21:01:00] jonK: masssive storm about do drivt over me

[21:02:00] FatDarrel: will there ever be hdtv based PVR's
[21:02:00] FatDarrel: there are so many standards on hdtv it is a headach
[21:02:00] jonK: rtsai:isnt the zap2it a yearlong account?
[21:02:00] defaultro: can myth be considered as hdtv based pvr FatDarrel?
[21:03:00] rtsai: jonK: zap2it is 3 months. You should get e-mail every 3 months telling you to fill out a survey
[21:03:00] rtsai: FatDarrel: my MythTV is HD
[21:04:00] FatDarrel: myth has hd support right i guess so but not with cable the qband or something ?
[21:04:00] defaultro: coz I'm using Air2pc to receive HD broacast in mythtv
[21:04:00] defaultro: they call that QAM
[21:04:00] defaultro: It is supported too
[21:04:00] defaultro: rtsai, did you see my earlier question?
[21:04:00] jonK: quam is quadrature amplitude modulation, means for sending symbols
[21:05:00] jonK: each symbol carries a number of bits
[21:05:00] jonK: qam16/qam256
[21:05:00] rtsai: defaultro: no
[21:05:00] FatDarrel: air2pc is a hdtv card right ?

[21:05:00] D-side: no mp2 file. i dont get it.
[21:05:00] jonK: storm almsot here... just watching ligtning
[21:06:00] Beirdo: have a good storm
[21:06:00] rtsai: "have fun storming the castle!"
[21:06:00] defaultro: rtsai, got any ideas on why I can't see in frontend the schedules I've set before? It's still in the record table though. The issue just started yesterday.
[21:06:00] FatDarrel: what is the easiest mythttv distro no hacking waht so ever
[21:06:00] fatmatt (~fatmatt@DC-161-47.bpb.bigpond.com) Quit ("fatmatt goes to ride the magic bus")
[21:06:00] rtsai: defaultro: your question is too vague. Are you wearing a blindfold?
[21:07:00] D-side: now i'm getting angry. why isnt this grabbing the audio track damnit
[21:07:00] defaultro: oh, let me rephrase it
[21:07:00] defaultro: in mythfrontend, we can look at the programs we have scheduled for recordings
[21:07:00] Beirdo: D-side: have you tried with a different recording in case that one recording's borked?
[21:07:00] defaultro: it's currently, empty now. I look at mythconverg.record table, it's still there
[21:08:00] defaultro: I've also captured the query, SELECT *, IF(type=4,-1,chanid) as chanid, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(startdate)+TIME_TO_SEC(starttime) AS starttime, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(enddate)+TIME_TO_SEC(endtime) AS endtime FROM record
[21:08:00] defaultro: it does give result
[21:08:00] rtsai: defaultro: I dunno. I rarely use mythfrontend to look at my schedules; I use mythweb.
[21:08:00] rtsai: I use mythfront to adjust recording schedule priorities every now and then.
[21:08:00] defaultro: mythweb shows it as empty too
[21:08:00] defaultro: :)
[21:08:00] D-side: Beirdo: yeah thats what i'm doing now. still no mp2 file being yanked out
[21:09:00] D-side: or. not.
[21:09:00] D-side: i'm. going. to. snap.
[21:09:00] Beirdo: have a beer or two and relax
[21:09:00] D-side: Beirdo: how sensitive you think avidemux is to mpeg2 streamtype?
[21:09:00] Beirdo: it will still be borked later
[21:09:00] rtsai: defaultro: then something is probably b0rked, and there is probably more information stored elsewhere besides just the "record" table. Sorry, can't help you.
[21:09:00] Beirdo: it works fine for MPEG2-PS for me
[21:09:00] Beirdo: past that, not sure
[21:10:00] defaultro: k
[21:10:00] D-side: yep. its working on an older recording. the user1 = good, root,user2 = bad thing bugs the crap out of me though.
[21:10:00] defaultro: i'm troubleshooting now
[21:10:00] Beirdo: it may also be a bug in your version of avidemux
[21:11:00] Beirdo: I've tested 2.0.28 and 2.0.32 more than anything else, and those are old now
[21:11:00] D-side: its working with an old recording, so i'm going to go see what changes i made to the mpeg2 streamtype and bitrate settings between then and now. i cant imagine its bitrate related, but wtf. i'll run the gamut of dumb tests.
[21:12:00] Beirdo: good :) Let me know if you find something in the end
[21:12:00] Beirdo: debugging crap like this is next to impossible, as I'm sure you've noticed
[21:12:00] D-side: yeah, absolutely.
[21:13:00] D-side: if i come up with anything i'll definately let you know.
[21:13:00] Beirdo: thanks, dude
[21:13:00] D-side: no no. thank you.
[21:13:00] Beirdo: it works fine for me, but my settings haven't changed in ages
[21:13:00] D-side: mpeg2cut is my most-used nuvexport target
[21:14:00] Beirdo: so if avidemux is gacking under certain circumstances, it'd be good to know
[21:14:00] Beirdo: heh, mine is mpeg2cut and DVCD
[21:14:00] D-side: thats why i was messing with the streamtype to begin with
[21:14:00] Beirdo: which reminds me, I should get the stack of Monster Garage off the disk and onto DVD soon
[21:14:00] D-side: i think its mpeg2-TS that you can burn directly to a dvd?
[21:14:00] D-side: without transcoding or anything.
[21:15:00] Beirdo: PS
[21:15:00] Beirdo: but you need to remux it
[21:15:00] D-side: ah thats it.
[21:15:00] D-side: oh you do?
[21:15:00] Beirdo: I think there's a MPEG2-PS-DVD or something that you can try
[21:16:00] Beirdo: but I never tried it, so I dunno how well it will work
[21:16:00] D-side: now that you mention it, i remember burning it to dvd but having audio sync issues about 10–15min into each.
[21:16:00] D-side: i think i'm going to stop caring about archiving to dvd.
[21:17:00] Beirdo: heh
[21:17:00] Beirdo: well, see what you can find, dude :)
[21:17:00] rtsai: defaultro: did you use mysqlcheck to make sure your DB isn't corrupted or anything?
[21:18:00] defaultro: ok, i'll do that
[21:18:00] defaultro: i just created a new schedule and myth is not taking the input
[21:18:00] defaultro: nothing happens
[21:18:00] jonK: it's so dark right now, i can't even tell it's daytime
[21:19:00] defaultro: i tried smallville but it still shows as not recording
[21:19:00] D-side: i'm looking at this tomshardware "DIY lcd projector" and damnit do i want to do it
[21:19:00] defaultro: rtsai, prolly my db got corrupted when I ran out of space in /
[21:19:00] defaultro: yesterday
[21:19:00] rtsai: did you run mysqlcheck? It will tell you for sure if it thinks your DB is corrupted.
[21:20:00] rtsai: (And btw, this is why linux people recommend you have separate partitions for /var, /usr, /home, etc.)
[21:20:00] defaultro: yep, it found one
[21:20:00] defaultro: that's a cool tool ;)
[21:20:00] rtsai: you can use -r to repair it
[21:21:00] defaultro: warning  : Table is marked as crashed
[21:21:00] defaultro: ah
[21:21:00] defaultro: error  : Size of indexfile is: 61440 Should be: 62464
[21:21:00] Beirdo: there's yer problem :)
[21:21:00] defaultro: then lastly, error  : Corrupt
[21:21:00] defaultro: thanks rtsai
[21:21:00] defaultro: i didn't know that tool ;)
[21:22:00] defaultro: badabing!
[21:22:00] defaultro: no more errors
[21:22:00] defaultro: how did it get corrupted?
[21:22:00] rtsai: 15:19 <defaultro> rtsai, prolly my db got corrupted when I ran out of space in /
[21:22:00] defaultro: :)
[21:22:00] defaultro: poor checking on mysql
[21:23:00] rtsai: and your indexfile is 1024 bytes shy of being complete
[21:23:00] rtsai: makes sense to me
[21:23:00] defaultro: ah
[21:23:00] rtsai: without an index file, table queries get screwed up because it can't find all the rows
[21:23:00] defaultro: bam, i can see them now
[21:23:00] defaultro: you're the man
[21:24:00] rtsai: why did you / get filled up?
[21:24:00] defaultro: it could be that i'm using /usr/local/src for all downloaded programs
[21:24:00] defaultro: i need to buy a bigger harddisk for my movies
[21:25:00] defaultro: am only at 175g :(
[21:25:00] rtsai: You can use "du -sh *" to see what's eating all your space. 175GB is plenty
[21:25:00] defaultro: i actually uploaded .iso files of movies
[21:25:00] defaultro: i only have 60g left for myth recording :)
[21:25:00] kormoc: defaultro, tis why I bought much harddrives :)
[21:25:00] defaultro: i love the integration of xine and myth
[21:25:00] diamon: Perfect DVD copies or something?
[21:25:00] defaultro: oh hell yah
[21:26:00] diamon: Ow, that'll tear up spare space.
[21:26:00] defaultro: am using xine to play it
[21:26:00] rtsai: I have 2 drives (284GB usable) and thought I'd use it all for TV, but my DVDs are actually using most of it.
[21:26:00] defaultro: didn't have luck using mplayer. Had issue with alsa:digital setting, not able to hear it
[21:26:00] defaultro: :)
[21:27:00] diamon: So you just use xine in place of mplayer for DVD's?
[21:27:00] defaultro: one thing i don't like is that i wait for 40 minutes to make an iso
[21:27:00] defaultro: yep diamon
[21:27:00] defaultro: iso imaged of dvds
[21:27:00] defaultro: then i used mythvideo
[21:27:00] rtsai: get a faster DVD drive
[21:27:00] defaultro: i think i should rip it on the myth box itself
[21:28:00] defaultro: am using dvdshrink in my xp :)
[21:28:00] diamon: Ah, heh, rip-and-transcode then?
[21:28:00] defaultro: then ftping of iso to myth is another 30
[21:28:00] rtsai: lol me too. And I have to copy over an 802.11b network. Takes *hours*.
[21:28:00] diamon: Ow, 11b?
[21:28:00] rtsai: dvdshrink lets you make a good non-lossy copy, but lets you take out stuff like menus, extra audio tracks, etc.
[21:28:00] defaultro: i use non compression
[21:28:00] defaultro: :)
[21:28:00] defaultro: i take out non english
[21:29:00] defaultro: it's pretty cool
[21:29:00] rtsai: download it while you still can. Dvddecrypter is offline now.
[21:29:00] defaultro: i select the top most tree, then select no compression
[21:29:00] defaultro: i have dvd decrypter :)
[21:29:00] defaultro: i have it for 3 years now
[21:29:00] diamon: Where at? Is it in stores too?
[21:29:00] defaultro: still upgrading
[21:29:00] defaultro: downloadable buddy
[21:29:00] defaultro: dvddecrypter is slower than dvdshrink
[21:30:00] rtsai: they do different things
[21:30:00] defaultro: yep
[21:30:00] defaultro: well, this triggers me something that you might have done before
[21:30:00] defaultro: i have .nuv high def files :) how are we to back it up while maintaining quality
[21:31:00] rtsai: another vague question. What's wrong with "cp"?
[21:31:00] defaultro: why?
[21:31:00] defaultro: ah
[21:31:00] defaultro: gotcha
[21:31:00] diamon: It's 1Mb?!
[21:31:00] defaultro: i really haven't tried playing nuv with xine, is it supported
[21:32:00] rtsai: I dunno. I always use Myth
[21:32:00] rtsai: I don't save my recordings.
[21:32:00] rtsai: mplayer can play nuv files, i've done that once
[21:32:00] defaultro: when I upgardded to latest svn, the auto expire worked :( i lost my favorite HD programs
[21:32:00] Discipulus: rtsai, why don't you save recordings?
[21:33:00] rtsai: I don't know. I don't read books twice, don't see movies twice, why should I archive TV recordings that I won't watch again?
[21:33:00] defaultro: so i had to disablle it :)
[21:33:00] defaultro: i do that too rtsai
[21:33:00] Beirdo: defaultro: if it's .nuv you may be stuck. if it's actually MPEG2 with an .nuv extension, xine should play it, I'm sure
[21:33:00] Discipulus: rtsai, oh, I do
[21:33:00] defaultro: ok Beirdo
[21:33:00] defaultro: some are just hard to delete most especially smart gardening :)
[21:34:00] defaultro: I want to keep them, a lot of knowledge about gardening
[21:34:00] Beirdo: if it's real .nuv (i.e. MPEG4 or RT-JPEG).. I doubt it supports it
[21:34:00] defaultro: oh ok
[21:34:00] defaultro: :(
[21:34:00] defaultro: so real nuv can't be played by mplayer?
[21:34:00] rtsai: nuv containing MPEG2 can be played by mplayer (and by xine, according to bierdo)
[21:34:00] rtsai: I don't know about MP4, etc.
[21:35:00] defaultro: so prolly, the one i;m getting via air2pc is mp4
[21:35:00] defaultro: res is at 1920x1080
[21:35:00] rtsai: are you trancoding?
[21:35:00] rtsai: it should be raw mpeg2
[21:35:00] defaultro: nope
[21:35:00] defaultro: i will try that, i havent tried it yet
[21:35:00] rtsai: worst case use nuvexport
[21:35:00] defaultro: k
[21:36:00] Beirdo: ummm, HDTV is MPEG2-TS (last I heard)
[21:36:00] defaultro: ok
[21:36:00] Beirdo: whether xine plays that, I dunno
[21:36:00] Beirdo: it should play -PS
[21:36:00] defaultro: I will try it now
[21:37:00] jonK: it's lightened up a bit, but visibility is less than a quarter mile
[21:37:00] Beirdo: heh
[21:37:00] Beirdo: you should see the fog some mornings.. visibility is less than 100ft
[21:39:00] jonK: let me rephrase, visibility < 100 ft now
[21:40:00] Beirdo: nice
[21:40:00] diamon: Anyone know the difference between PS ant TS offhand?
[21:41:00] jonK: and the hail has begun
[21:41:00] diamon: MPEG-PS/TS I mean.
[21:41:00] Beirdo: hell, visibility gets to "can't see adjacent building" some mornings :)
[21:41:00] patch (~whocares@67.151.108.85) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:42:00] patch: tuner 0–0060: tuner type not set anyone know why I get this in dmesg when I load the bttv module?
[21:43:00] patch: I load my modules using modprobe bttv tuner=2
[21:43:00] defaultro: Beirdo, one of the HD nuvs got played by xine :) All i need to do now is remove the commercials manually
[21:43:00] diamon: Some BTTV cards don't auto-identify the tuner right. You'll probably have to specify it manually.
[21:43:00] Beirdo: cool
[21:43:00] Beirdo: try mpeg2cut with it, let me know if it behaves
[21:43:00] patch: diamon: How do I go about doing that?
[21:43:00] Beirdo: having no HDTV to test with
[21:43:00] defaultro: do i have to prepare the cutlist?
[21:43:00] Beirdo: yes
[21:44:00] diamon: There's no transcode that reworks a stream by cutting out the commercials already marked?
[21:44:00] defaultro: cool
[21:44:00] defaultro: is mpeg2cut for unices?
[21:44:00] Beirdo: it's part of nuvexport
[21:45:00] diamon: patch: Guess a lot (boring but works eventually), ask the manufacturer (painful and time-wasting, but sometimes doable), or open the covered tuner section of the card and look at the device, then run through the small set of possibilities based on the manufacturer.
[21:45:00] Beirdo: uses avidemux and lvemux to do the dirty work
[21:45:00] defaultro: ok
[21:45:00] patch: diamon : I dont undertsand it was working for me before just using modprobe bttv tuner=2
[21:46:00] diamon: It should have kept on then. Did you upgrade your kernel or OS or something? Or add new hardware or anything?
[21:46:00] diamon: If it used to work before, and doesn't now, then something changed.
[21:46:00] diamon: Question is, what.
[21:46:00] patch: diamon: Yes upgraded my kernel.
[21:46:00] diamon: From what to what?
[21:47:00] patch: diamon: from mm-sources 2.6.12. To 2.6.13-rc2-mm2.

[21:50:00] diamon: Hmm, that's not a huge change, but I don't know the patch subtype. I'd bet the tuner definitions changed. If you have the source for both, try comparing the tuner definitions in tuner.h (I think it is) and see where your old setting went.
[21:50:00] diamon: Or if you made the kernel yourself, it might be mis-built or something.

[22:03:00] patch: diamon: tuner-core.c ?
[22:04:00] diamon: Worth a look, but I don't recall what's in that file I'm afraid.
[22:04:00] defaultro: Glad I went back here Beirdo, I saw your message

[22:04:00] defaultro: :)
[22:04:00] Beirdo: I have never used mpeg2cut for windows
[22:04:00] defaultro: I saw the tool in nuvexport-0.2
[22:04:00] Beirdo: I use mpeg2cut in nuvexport...
[22:04:00] defaultro: it's a script
[22:04:00] Beirdo: which I wrote
[22:04:00] defaultro: yep
[22:05:00] defaultro: so should I run mpeg2cut separately or within nuvexport?
[22:05:00] Beirdo: use nuvexport, it's easiest
[22:06:00] defaultro: is Xvfb required?
[22:06:00] patch: diamon: K thanks. Im going to go build a vanilla-kernel and see if the problem is still there.
[22:07:00] Beirdo: not required, but makes it easier to deal with
[22:07:00] Beirdo: without that you need the gtk-cursed, or have to run from an xterminal and it will pop up the avidemux window
[22:07:00] defaultro: ah, gotcha
[22:09:00] diamon: patch: Ok, good luck. I'm afraid I'm off, overdue for sleep.
[22:10:00] defaultro: Beirdo, what about lve?
[22:10:00] diamon: Mmmm, I love to lurk...
[22:10:00] Beirdo: lve is required for the final remux
[22:10:00] Beirdo: the other muxers don't do it quite right...

[22:13:00] defaultro: ok, i read the readme and it's telling me to use the ffmpeg on the same site. Will it affect my other installed ffmpeg?
[22:14:00] Beirdo: I don't think so, I think it just uses that for the libraries, which it builds in, and you only really need lvemux
[22:15:00] Beirdo: be sure to have large file support, it may not support it directly out of the box in the makefile
[22:15:00] Beirdo: there are a couple -D entries you will need (google for Linux large file support, there's a SuSE page that covers it well)

[22:33:00] Beirdo: yeah, your A/V may be out of sync in the end, by a fixed delay
[22:33:00] defaultro: is it a crisis?
[22:33:00] Beirdo: it uses tcprobe to find the delay, and tcprobe doesn't work with MPEG2-TS
[22:33:00] Beirdo: you may not even notice
[22:33:00] defaultro: ok
[22:33:00] Beirdo: or you might
[22:34:00] Beirdo: you can always remux the output to mess with the delay
[22:34:00] defaultro: i remember when i was nuvexporting america's worst auditions, at the half of the show, video was about 2 secs delayed. Then at the end, it's almost 5 secs delay
[22:34:00] Beirdo: weird
[22:34:00] defaultro: it's doing this now, Cutting out commercials with avidemux2
[22:35:00] Beirdo: goood
[22:35:00] defaultro: is it touching the nuv i supplied?
[22:35:00] Beirdo: no
[22:35:00] Beirdo: it reads from it
[22:35:00] defaultro: ah gotcha
[22:35:00] Beirdo: and writes to files in the output dir
[22:35:00] defaultro: i remember, it asked for a target dir
[22:35:00] Beirdo: an .m2v and a .mp2
[22:35:00] defaultro: i forgot that :)
[22:35:00] Beirdo: then it muxes them together to make a .mpg
[22:35:00] defaultro: oh ok, then what tool should I use to combine both

[22:40:00] Beirdo: good plan
[22:42:00] defaultro: about projectx, you're saying FITH that I should load the raw nuv from Projectx?
[22:44:00] FITH: Yeah, that's what I've done in the past... It isn't as nice for finding "edges" of commercials, but the output has been better for me. I think ProjectX only lets you move to the next keyframe, which may be related to why the audio is more in sync too...
[22:45:00] Beirdo: blech
[22:45:00] Beirdo: another useless program for cutting then

[22:52:00] Beirdo: avidemux can work with proper care and feeding
[22:52:00] Beirdo: but it is a finicky program
[22:52:00] defaultro: Beirdo, error again. Is it because it's a TS stream?
[22:52:00] Beirdo: it could be
[22:52:00] defaultro: ok
[22:52:00] Beirdo: what does the avidemux output say
[22:53:00] defaultro: TS: could not read!
[22:53:00] Beirdo: heh
[22:53:00] Beirdo: OK
[22:53:00] defaultro: I remember changing my setting from PS to TS
[22:53:00] Beirdo: does replex from the DVB tools give MPEG2-PS?
[22:53:00] FITH: I haven't figured out what in avidemux triggers the offset yet. It's been consistant over the last few releases. Ah well, stuff to look at on the weekend :)
[22:53:00] defaultro: i've never tried replex
[22:53:00] defaultro: I don't know if I should revert back to PS
[22:53:00] Beirdo: you may be able to replex the file, then run it through
[22:53:00] defaultro: ok
[22:54:00] Beirdo: -PS is better handled by many tools
[22:54:00] defaultro: i changed to TS because there was a myth version where audio was crackling/echoing
[22:54:00] defaultro: the solution was to changed to TS
[22:54:00] Beirdo: heh
[22:54:00] Beirdo: fair enough

[22:55:00] defaultro: i think, i should try it to make my life easier :)
[22:55:00] Beirdo: if replex will convert it, I can look at maybe integrating that into mpeg2cut
[22:55:00] Beirdo: yet another lousy dependancy though
[22:56:00] defaultro: i executed replex and it requires an input and output file

[23:19:00] Beirdo: huh?
[23:20:00] Beirdo: no, you can't and still have an MPEG2 stream file. unless MPEG2 has a method of doing it... and then ivtv, etc would need to write it into the stream from the card

[23:22:00] Beirdo: heh
[23:22:00] Beirdo: why break perfectly standard files?
[23:23:00] Beirdo: and mythtv is far from the only thing playing the files

[23:23:00] Beirdo: many people use other players, video editors, etc
[23:23:00] Beirdo: and you know this how?
[23:23:00] Beirdo: :)
[23:24:00] Beirdo: if there's a standard way to do it that won't bugger the files, I think it's a great idea
[23:24:00] hadees: Beirdo, what about some of those other file formats, i think some of them do it and can contain mpeg2
[23:24:00] hadees: then just rename them as nuv
[23:25:00] hadees: since nuv is really nothing anyway
[23:25:00] hadees: well sort of nothing
[23:25:00] Beirdo: I'm not sure what you're talking about
[23:26:00] Beirdo: MPEG2-PS is a specified standard format, and all myth does is writes that stream into a file
[23:26:00] Beirdo: there may be a way to put this information into a MPEG2-PS packet that would be within the standard though
[23:26:00] Beirdo: as a separate stream of some sorts...
[23:27:00] Beirdo: I haven't looked for that before
[23:27:00] Beirdo: it would have to be written to the file before the stream is dumped to the file
[23:27:00] Beirdo: and same goes for MPEG2-TS which is used for HDTV and DVB (last I heard)
