[00:15:00] GeckoFiend: directhex most machines have a bios setting that makes it so you have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds before it'll shut down
[00:16:00] directhex: GeckoFiend, killing an active machine? that's even worse :/
[00:16:00] directhex: i think i've found where to force this into myth

[01:03:00] harryman100: Hi, I've compiled mythtv, but when I run mythtv-setup, "QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded, QSqlDatabase: available drivers:", I have recompiled QT with mysql support, and installed it, but this makes no difference, I still get the error... can anyone suggest what may be wrong?
[01:04:00] pmowry: harryman100: did you recompile mythtv after qt-MySQL was available?
[01:05:00] pmowry: also what version? Not sure if 3.1 is supported any more.
[01:05:00] harryman100: pmowry: yes, I think so, although to be honest I've tried so many different things I can't remember
[01:05:00] harryman100: QT4 and MySQL4.1
[01:06:00] Mrgoose: pmowry: you know anything about setting up snmp

[01:07:00] Beirdo: this isn't #cacti or #net-snmp, you realize :)
[01:08:00] pmowry: There was a discussion about QT4 when it came out, mostly it revolved around a windows ports was still not supported until QT4 is around for a while and proven stable. I think the discussion went along the lines of qt4 not being actively supported at all. Check the dev mailing list archives.
[01:09:00] harryman100: pmowry: could the problem be because I couldn't compile mythtv with gcc4, so I used 3.3.5, but I compiled QT with gcc4?
[01:10:00] Beirdo: hehe
[01:10:00] Beirdo: quite likely
[01:10:00] pmowry: I would not know. Last I tried though mythtv itself compiled under gcc 4.0 just fine. mythtv-plugins had a few problems.
[01:11:00] pmowry: mythtv from CVS that is.
[01:11:00] harryman100: ok, I'll try a CVS version, cheers
[01:11:00] pmowry: or I guess SVN now
[01:13:00] pmowry: I'd still take a look at the dev archives for QT4 discussions. Just to see if it's better to downgrade to 3.3 or you will be the test case for 4.0 ;)

[03:34:00] [shodan] (n=shodan@216.113.99.188) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:34:00] GreyFoxx: but I know myth can support arts. I've just had no experience using it with kde to know what you might need to do
[03:35:00] dhofstra: I use kde on both machines and have never had a single problem
[03:35:00] GreyFoxx: using kde on a machine that only displays mythfrontend fullscreen is awaste of memory and cpu. But it's your's to do with as you please :)
[03:36:00] dhofstra: naw, I also use it for other purposes
[03:36:00] GreyFoxx: I've seen a few people with that audio issue unde rkde though. I think most just disabled arts and it worked. but I would expect there is a proper configuration to use it
[03:36:00] GreyFoxx: Maybe just compiling in the artsd support is enough, but without KDE running anywhere I can only guess
[03:37:00] dhofstra: or set the auto-suspend feature to 5 seconds or something
[03:37:00] GreyFoxx: auto suspend ?
[03:37:00] dhofstra: yeah, in the kde control panel
[03:38:00] dhofstra: a checkmark that says 'auto-suspend if idle for xx seconds'
[03:40:00] GreyFoxx: what exactly does it suspend? ?
[03:41:00] dhofstra: the kde sound system if it is not in use
[03:42:00] dhofstra: 'the KDE sound system takes exclusive control over your audio hardware, blocking programs that may wish to use it directly. If the KDE sound system sits idle it can give up this exclusive control'
[03:42:00] GreyFoxx: wacky :)
[03:43:00] GreyFoxx: but that would do the trick

[04:18:00] GreyFoxx: I was on jury duty about 12 years ago. No palm pilots then :)
[04:18:00] metusine: ?
[04:18:00] metusine: or does it build up the name from the chanid+starttime+endtime?
[04:18:00] GreyFoxx: That's right. It's built from the logged recording data
[04:18:00] dhofstra: the filenames are in time/channel format or something humanly unreadable; you can used the script in /contrib to make them pretty
[04:20:00] metusine: ahhh
[04:20:00] GreyFoxx: hrm, well I guess if I'm gonna package up mythplugins for this thing I should provide all of the plugins
[04:21:00] dhofstra: which distro you packaging for?
[04:21:00] GreyFoxx: using SLAX to make a bootable usb stick based frontend
[04:21:00] dhofstra: cool
[04:21:00] GreyFoxx: or you can just burn the iso to a CD to boot from that
[04:22:00] dhofstra: I always wondered if that roku could be booted from a memory stick instead of trying to write a roku plugin for myth
[04:23:00] GreyFoxx: I wouldn't mind playing with one of those one day
[04:24:00] dhofstra: yeah, jams got one, but havent talked to him in a while
[04:26:00] GreyFoxx: So far this one is using 159Meg of space including myth, several libraries(libdvdnav etc), xine, mplayer, qt, mysql client libs, etc
[04:26:00] GreyFoxx: probably a few things I could trim, but since I have 256Meg usb sticks It's find by me :)
[04:27:00] dhofstra: this is one case where smaller is better
[04:28:00] GreyFoxx: I'm sure I could get it under 128meg, but I'm not gonna bother
[04:28:00] dhofstra: they dont even sell 128 sticks anymore anyway
[04:28:00] rhstech: Can anyone help me figure out why my Line In Capture crackles with my Audigy and WinTV cards?
[04:28:00] GreyFoxx: I've been able to do it without needing to change any of the base modules, and with only adding on my custom stuff. So I'm happy

[04:31:00] rhstech: Or does anyone know where I can see debug information from ALSA?
[04:32:00] emes: mythtv seems to have have an issue with speed.. I can transfer files across the network at 1.2–1.3MB/s, and yet when I try to watch live tv or a not-yet-transcoded tv show, it's jumpy
[04:33:00] GreyFoxx: emes: so this is a remote frontend? Sure it's not a processor issue ?
[04:33:00] emes: GreyFoxx: a 1.67ghz G4 should be able to handle it..
[04:33:00] GreyFoxx: I would imagine so

[04:36:00] bongo: I'm using myth from cvs (svn transaction 7020- as 7021 and higher appear to have compile issues). I have an issue where when I startup the mythtv-setup on a different X11 machine, the display has a whole lot of squares rather than the expected theme – has anyone experienced this before?
[04:37:00] GreyFoxx: bongo: seeing squares in place of text implies a missing font of some sort
[04:37:00] bongo: ahh ok
[04:38:00] bongo: that sounds plausible

[06:08:00] defaultro: ok
[06:08:00] defaultro: so i should not be worried about house resale value?
[06:08:00] mchou: I dont think so.
[06:08:00] defaultro: am gonna look into it again

[06:15:00] mchou: "Therefore, installers must realize that two weeks for acclimatization on the job site after the flooring is removed from the carton may not be long enough. Installers must test the moisture content with the moisture tester in different areas of a plank. Installation over radiant heat requires additional special attention."
[06:15:00] defaultro: wow

[06:43:00] cesman: noob like?!
[06:43:00] emes: fatmatt: gentoo works too
[06:44:00] cesman: KnoppMyth is designed to get Linux and MythTV up an running in a quick and easy manner
[06:45:00] cesman: I started it because, getting a PVR up and running shouldn't take a day...
[06:46:00] theturtl_: it is a great app for a dedicated myth box
[06:46:00] theturtl_: if you plan on using a box just for pvr, theres no reason to use anything but
[06:46:00] benw: yeah I hate stuffing around on a generic machine to get it all working
[06:46:00] benw: I haven't had many issues with suse though
[06:46:00] cesman: it isn't an app, it is a distro
[06:46:00] benw: suse-9.3 has kernel support for my dvb card builtin, so that makes things simple
[06:47:00] theturtl_: ic benw, ya well its a learning curve issue for me, but suse did not have support for my card built in :D
[06:47:00] _dockane_: i read a lot about cpu power usage of mythtv (and think myself is safe with a 2000xp and 256 mb ram for encoding only) ... but: i always lack of harddisks. is there a way to stream into lan (100 mbit) from a livesystem ?
[06:47:00] benw: now I just need to either get a buttload of disk space or work out how get transcoding simply

[07:07:00] Uberbot: Any one know what that means?

[07:11:00] theturtl_: what is SIP, i'm getting some message about it when i start the frontend
[07:13:00] theturtl_: kormoc|afk mythtv DOES do that btw
[07:14:00] kormoc|afk: theturtl_, it only records back if I pause on mine

[07:17:00] kormoc|afk: once I pause and then fast forward, I can rewind back to where I paused, but it doesn't do it automatically on mine
[07:18:00] theturtl_: thats weird, it should just be constantly recording
[07:18:00] theturtl_: perhaps its a config issue, i dunno jack about mythtv really, i could just be misinformed here :/

[09:05:00] DCG: wish i knew if the wintv-go supported digital audio
[09:05:00] DCG: hehe
[09:06:00] xris: what's the point of digital audio if you're just taking a crappy analog signal and compressing it to mp3?
[09:07:00] DCG: if the tv card has onboard dac wired correctly then theres less noise
[09:08:00] xris: but if your source is (relatively) crappy, it doesn't matter.
[09:08:00] DCG: video is good quality
[09:08:00] xris: what source?
[09:09:00] DCG: and audio was working fine before i switched motherboards
[09:09:00] anxt: or maybe you can lift the ground?
[09:09:00] anxt: or plug you speakers directly into cap card line out and see if you hear the same noise
[09:09:00] anxt: oh ok
[09:09:00] DCG: yea, i'm about to go do that in a sec
[09:09:00] anxt: so is there a sample rate thing in alsamixer?

[09:17:00] DCG: uhm, $0 spent so far on upgrading

[10:07:00] xris: theturtl_: doubtful. only reason cable has it is that it's required by law
[10:10:00] theturtl_: cable has it, didn't know that, never owned a digital cable box tho
[10:10:00] theturtl_: why would firewire output on a digital cable box be LAW
[10:10:00] theturtl_: :D
[10:10:00] xris: not all cable does. fcc requires that if *asked*, and you're paying for HD content, they have to provide you with a firewire-capable box to output SD to computers (480p is SD)
[10:11:00] xris: fcc largely ignores sat stuff for this kind of thing, so the law only applies to cable.
[10:11:00] theturtl_: why would outputting to a computer be law
[10:11:00] xris: digital cable in most areas is a big joke, though. half the channels aren't even digital.
[10:11:00] DCG: xris: they require it because theres tvs that have it
[10:11:00] xris: theturtl_: so people can be allowed to use their own tivo
[10:12:00] DCG: if you dont pass HDCP and the channel requires it you dont get 480p
[10:12:00] DCG: you get nothing.
[10:13:00] theturtl_: so this is federal law then huh
[10:14:00] theturtl_: odd law
[10:14:00] xris: theturtl_: google should turn up plenty of copies of the regularion text.
[10:14:00] xris: more "regulation" than "law"... not sure what the difference is.
[10:14:00] DCG: laws are enforced by police/fbi
[10:15:00] DCG: regulations are enforced with fines
[10:15:00] theturtl_: haha

[10:16:00] xris: Cardoe: I don't even know what hdcp is.
[10:16:00] theturtl_: DCG you have lived a trite and meaningless life and you are a VERY bad person
[10:16:00] xris: tv not important enough for me to go HD
[10:16:00] DCG: xris: HD Copy Protection
[10:16:00] DCG: its used to authenticate firewire and dvi equipment
[10:16:00] xris: odd. thought the firewire thing was all about providing non-copy-protected stream, since only HD content is allowed to be protected that way.
[10:16:00] Agrajag-: i hear you have a problem with your tps reports DCG
[10:16:00] DCG: it also encrypts the signal between the two peices of equipment
[10:17:00] DCG: nope, hdcp is used even for SDTV
[10:17:00] theturtl_: xris- someone told me once, how xbox sucks for watching dvds, and i should buy some 500$dvd player. I told him, i watch my tv and movies on a 29" 480i tv. I could care less about your 500$ dvd player, xbox works just fine.
[10:17:00] DCG: try recording HBO, skinemax, etc even in analog with your firewire port and it will fail hdcp and you get a few seconds of video then garbage
[10:18:00] xris: DCG: no firewire for me. not until Dish adds it, which I'm quite sure they never will.
[10:18:00] DCG: heh
[10:18:00] DCG: they using mpeg2 for their codec?
[10:18:00] DCG: if not then they would have to build extra hardware in
[10:19:00] xris: DCG: yes, actually. it's dvb
[10:19:00] DCG: dunno then
[10:19:00] xris: but they won't because they don't have/want to.
[10:19:00] xris: no benefit in providing something beneficial to their customers that < 1% would use.
[10:19:00] DCG: just adds $$$ out of their pocket
[10:20:00] xris: and tv just isn't that big of a deal to me. I find my 27" tv quite large.
[10:20:00] DCG: around $5 in parts for every box adds up quick
[10:20:00] DCG: heh
[10:20:00] theturtl_: i only brought up firewire, because it sounded like a creative idea to capture video from a dish receiver
[10:20:00] xris: theturtl_: it's supposedly great for capturing digital cable...
[10:20:00] DCG: you couldnt remove my 21" sun from my arms even if i was dead
[10:20:00] theturtl_: with perhaps higher quality than composite/rca input
[10:20:00] xris: too bad nothing I'd want to record here (if I had digital cable) is digital. scifi and foodtv are both still analog-only.
[10:21:00] DCG: once you watch 1080p and 720p native on a workstation monitor you can't stand watching it on much else
[10:21:00] DCG: yea
[10:21:00] xris: to make matters worse, the original signal *is* digital, and has nasty artifacts... add that to the analog rf interference, and you get a pretty shitty signal.
[10:21:00] DCG: heh
[10:22:00] xris: DCG: can't play 1080i on my box — ati driver bug makes half the screen go pink.
[10:22:00] DCG: heh
[10:22:00] xris: but I agree, 720p looks pretty nice. I do have an air2pc and a few channels I can record from.
[10:22:00] xris: but just don't like much on those channels.
[10:22:00] DCG: onlything i have that can decode 1080p in realtime is a amd64 3000+
[10:23:00] benw: I get too much stuttering on the HD digital (SD digital is fine) – I blame my 54Mbps wireless network
[10:23:00] xris: DCG: nice -0 mythfrontend works fine on my dual 1900+
[10:23:00] theturtl_: i don't understand the idea behind OTA hd
[10:23:00] theturtl_: wh y pay for HD card, when your using an antennae
[10:23:00] theturtl_: hey wow fuzzy high def!
[10:23:00] DCG: theturtl_: its for broadcast, and its not fuzzy
[10:23:00] xris: theturtl_: huh? it's digital.. not fuzzy.
[10:24:00] benw: antenna is just to pick up the digital signal
[10:24:00] DCG: you might even get lower bit error count than your cable co
[10:24:00] theturtl_: ic, so no fuzz eh
[10:24:00] theturtl_: dumb turtle
[10:24:00] xris: choppy digital if you have bad reception, but if you have a good signal, it's crystal clear.
[10:24:00] theturtl_: nm
[10:24:00] benw: I don't get decoding artifacts when I get aerial positioned roperly
[10:24:00] ** xris wishes there wasn't an airport 2 miles away. **
[10:24:00] benw: and I just a have shitty pair of rabbit ears stuffed down behind the desk
[10:24:00] xris: actually, more like 3/4 mile straight.
[10:25:00] theturtl_: are there usb2 cards...
[10:25:00] DCG: plus with ota dtv, they condensed the frequencys so you dont need a ugly antenna to get the whole spectrum decently
[10:25:00] theturtl_: would that be possible :D
[10:25:00] theturtl_: hrmm
[10:25:00] theturtl_: nm
[10:26:00] xris: DCG: except that the towers aren't always in the same direction.. but I do get decent reception for nbc, cbs, upn, pbs and wb...
[10:26:00] theturtl_: i'm wondering what hd content would look like on my 21" sony now
[10:26:00] theturtl_: :D
[10:26:00] xris: fox tower, unfortunately is directly on the other side of the airport. I don't even get a HINT of signal, and it's only 12 or so miles away.
[10:27:00] DCG: heh, there isnt even a digital upn here.
[10:27:00] DCG: upn is screwed over by a local christian tv station
[10:28:00] DCG: at 7pm nights when upn stuff airs they tv station plays this "we do not agree with the material shown on UPN but are required by contract to continue showing it" then switches to the upn feed
[10:28:00] DCG: at the worst possible quality
[10:28:00] theturtl_: ota hd != dvb-t ?
[10:28:00] DCG: its worse than VCD quality
[10:29:00] DCG: ota hd = ATSC
[10:29:00] DCG: no idea how that relates to dvb-t
[10:29:00] theturtl_: jus tlooking to see if hauppauge has anything
[10:30:00] xris: theturtl_: only linux cards are air2pc and pchdtv... and one more I can't remember.
[10:30:00] DCG: hd2000?
[10:30:00] theturtl_: myHD
[10:30:00] theturtl_: ?
[10:30:00] xris: can't remember...
[10:30:00] xris: DCG: pchdtv *is* hd2k
[10:30:00] xris: 2k and 3k
[10:31:00] DCG: ok
[10:31:00] theturtl_: hrmm, wow they do make usb atsc receivers
[10:31:00] theturtl_: hrmm!, hrmm
[10:31:00] DCG: yea, usb2
[10:31:00] DCG: and firewire
[10:31:00] theturtl_: whatever happened to firewire 2 haha
[10:32:00] xris: theturtl_: you mean firewire 800?
[10:32:00] DCG: 1394b?
[10:32:00] DCG: its around
[10:32:00] DCG: not many pc mobos implement it
[10:32:00] xris: theturtl_: they do make usb receivers... but linux compatibility is pretty much not there.
[10:33:00] benw: they'll probably build it into laptop motherboards before long
[10:33:00] ** xris grumbles... "let's take two plugs and hook them together in parallel so it's twice as fast, and call it a new technology!" **
[10:33:00] benw: so you can have your home entertainment pc / laptop in one thing
[10:33:00] DCG: i remember seeing a atsc 1394 tuner that used dvhs standard so it in theory should work with mythtv after the channel ctrls are figured out
[10:33:00] theturtl_: xris ya
[10:33:00] DCG: heh
[10:34:00] DCG: xris: that doesnt work with 1394a though, you end up with a switching loop
[10:34:00] xris: DCG: well, that's basically what fw800 is, though... just double wires for double bandwidth.
[10:34:00] DCG: and you can only have 63/64 devices on a bus
[10:34:00] DCG: ah
[10:34:00] theturtl_: what u mean by, it used the dvhs standard?
[10:35:00] theturtl_: it took the atsc signal and encoded it into dvhs
[10:35:00] DCG: the way the firewire stb interface works is the box thinks its talking to a DVHS deck or a tv.
[10:35:00] DCG: and essentially it acts asif it is a dvhs deck
[10:36:00] xris: ok, commercial cutting done, finally... now for a week or so of nuvexport... heh.
[10:36:00] DCG: theres some standalone atsc tuners for use with dvhs decks that have firewire output only, no mpeg2 decoder, no dac, or other garbage
[10:37:00] DCG: theres also boxes to convert between dvhs and dv
[10:40:00] theturtl_: ic ic, so your saying the tuner you saw had what sort of output? no way to control it, unlike a PC device
[10:41:00] DCG: firewire dvhs
[10:41:00] theturtl_: ic
[10:41:00] DCG: it essentially looked just like a DCT6200 cable box as far as the dvhs deck / computer were concerned, but thats its only function and it was ATSC only
[10:42:00] DCG: like lowend / home studio or something
[10:42:00] DCG: not sure
[10:42:00] DCG: wasnt too interested in it so i kept browsing

[11:26:00] DCG: not including tcp/ip, and x protocol overhead
[11:26:00] Uberbot: How do you get that number?
[11:27:00] DCG: 640x480 @ 30fps, 8bpp/16bpp

[11:27:00] Uberbot: Ok.
[11:28:00] Uberbot: Seemed like a cheep way of getting a pvr in the bedroom. My wife likes the pvr so much she wants to watch it in bed.
[11:28:00] DCG: heh
[11:28:00] DCG: try an xbox.
[11:28:00] Uberbot: $200?
[11:28:00] DCG: yea
[11:29:00] DCG: well, less than that
[11:29:00] DCG: grab a used xbox
[11:29:00] benw: only tv that should be on in the bedroom is porn
[11:29:00] DCG: date somewhere in 2002–2003 range for date
[11:29:00] Uberbot: The porn isn't on the tv....
[11:29:00] laga: Uberbot: have you tried the mediamvp yet?
[11:29:00] Uberbot: Used xbox. I'll look around.
[11:30:00] Uberbot: I've never heard of mediamvp.
[11:30:00] DCG: then you solder 2 points, flash the bios to cromwell, install xebian with the instructions from http://bit.blkbk.com/

[11:30:00] DCG: you should be able to get an xbox setup for $150 or less
[11:33:00] Uberbot: mediamvp will run under windows? My wife has a laptop.....
[11:33:00] DCG: mediamvp is a hardware device
[11:33:00] benw: It'd be nice if there was a myth for windows that actually worked
[11:33:00] DCG: if you want to use the laptop you can boot knoppmyth/minimyth on it
[11:33:00] benw: winmyth has failed everytime I've tried it
[11:33:00] DCG: (well try to atleast)
[11:34:00] DCG: yea
[11:34:00] DCG: winmyth 18.3 gives me some error saying my DSMyth config is wrong
[11:34:00] Uberbot: Ya, I'll just give her a KnoppMyth CD.
[11:34:00] theturtl_: will a media mvpa work with myth?
[11:35:00] Uberbot: Says it will.
[11:35:00] DCG: if knoppmyth works, you'll want to make a custom cd that doesnt require configuration
[11:35:00] Uberbot: ya.
[11:35:00] Uberbot: One that CAN NOT format the drive..... :-O
[11:35:00] DCG: theturtl_: with replacement firmware it will work without a windows server
[11:35:00] DCG: well i ment one that knows your mythtv server address and just boots to frontend mode
[11:36:00] Uberbot: I understood you.
[11:36:00] DCG: again, that assumes your laptop's video out is supported
[11:36:00] DCG: any idea what video chip?
[11:36:00] Uberbot: It's a recent Dell....
[11:36:00] DCG: if its nvidia it should be easy
[11:36:00] benw: heh, so a random video card
[11:36:00] DCG: if its ati it will be a pita
[11:36:00] harryman100: Hi, I have a problem whenever I run mythtv-setup, I get "QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers:", however I have recompiled QT with -plugin-sql-mysql but that doesn't seem to make a difference,
[11:36:00] Uberbot: No Idea.
[11:36:00] DCG: if its s3 then it will be easy but i dont think you will get XV
[11:37:00] DCG: harryman100: you have dependancy issues.
[11:37:00] benw: harryman100: you might want to make sure mysql-devel etc are loaded
[11:37:00] Uberbot: Ya. I'll just hack a KnoppMyth CD.
[11:38:00] Uberbot: Thanx guys.
[11:38:00] DCG: good luck
[11:38:00] harryman100: benw: as in the standard mysql dev stuff, it should be there as I have the mysql-max installation, however, I'll check on that
[11:39:00] laga: Uberbot: greyfoxx has a mythfrontend-on-usbstick in the works
[11:41:00] harryman100: all the header files for mysql are there, is it likely to to help if I do -I/usr/local/mysql/include when I compile mythtv? I already did that when I recompiled QT
[11:42:00] laga: harryman100: why not? ;)
[11:42:00] harryman100: I'll give it a try
[11:43:00] Uberbot: laga, nice to know.....
[11:49:00] theturtl_: are most atsc tuners not able to record in hd format?
[11:50:00] k-man: is there a way to get the EPG to show the Day of the week?
[11:50:00] k-man: currently it shows the date and time, but not the day
[11:50:00] DCG: theturtl_: an atsc tuner card just dumps out the mpeg2 data, they should handle the 10mbit highdef streams fine.
[11:51:00] theturtl_: i need a usb2 atsc/analog tuner, that does hardware h.264 encoding HAHA
[11:51:00] theturtl_: now that'd be neat
[11:52:00] DCG: uhm, no
[11:52:00] theturtl_: dcg i was just reading, this card from avermedia will only record at 720x480 ntsc
[11:52:00] theturtl_: :/
[11:52:00] DCG: heh
[11:52:00] DCG: thats not an atsc tuner then.
[11:52:00] theturtl_: nah its atsc, it displays up to 1080p
[11:53:00] theturtl_: 1080i
[11:53:00] DCG: displays.
[11:54:00] DCG: but if it captures only 720x480 then its an analog capture.
[11:54:00] DCG: or a marketing dweeb forgot to read the specs from the engineers
[11:54:00] laga: they never do that
[11:55:00] theturtl_: nothing broadcasted is true uncompressed HD i imagine
[11:56:00] theturtl_: i dunno, it just says it can do video capture at 720x480 hah
[11:56:00] theturtl_: i just thought that was odd, obviously you agree
[11:56:00] DCG: that has to be the analog capture

[12:04:00] chris: xvidencopts I mean
[12:04:00] DCG: i assume thats why theres a transcoders option in recording profiles

[12:43:00] anxt: via branded it last i think
[12:43:00] DCG: O_O
[12:43:00] anxt: either that or i got an ICH5 i think on board
[12:44:00] DCG: yea, its a via board
[12:44:00] DCG: which explains why it has clock problems
[12:44:00] anxt: i have had it work with myth for several months
[12:44:00] anxt: then it went south
[12:44:00] DCG: dunno
[12:44:00] anxt: do you have an idea
[12:44:00] anxt: k thx tho
[12:44:00] DCG: i just know i hate via's sound chips
[12:45:00] anxt: i could pull it and see if i got the same problems on board
[12:45:00] anxt: i want the card for recording
[12:45:00] DCG: the via686b onboard audio on my K7TM board is garbage
[12:45:00] DCG: hence my use of the ymf724
[12:45:00] anxt: but i could make a separte box for that if necesasary
[12:45:00] DCG: the onboard audio is garunteed to crash windows and linux
[12:46:00] anxt: but the sound from the card went it works is beautfdiule
[12:46:00] DCG: on linux it doesnt so much crash as loose sync and start crackling then you get nothing but static after a while
[12:46:00] anxt: seriously it is much better than the onboard on my old k7s5a
[12:46:00] DCG: heh
[12:46:00] DCG: in windows with the onboard audio i had it crash anytime i wanted to use 3d and the onboard audio
[12:47:00] DCG: so i'd launch a game and boom it reboots
[12:47:00] anxt: nicely done
[12:47:00] DCG: stupid msi/via for putting the agp on the same irq as the onboard sound
[12:47:00] anxt: i dunno if it is shit os or shit hardware
[12:47:00] anxt: nicely done
[12:47:00] anxt: pci shit pisses me off
[12:47:00] DCG: yea
[12:47:00] anxt: i had 4 things on irq11 on myu old board
[12:48:00] DCG: heh
[12:48:00] anxt: nic and sound and one ivtv and usb
[12:48:00] DCG: that might be curable
[12:48:00] DCG: turn off some option, pnpos maybe
[12:48:00] anxt: i fucked with pci latency and some other shit and managed to get it down to 2 things per irq
[12:48:00] anxt: but irq 9 and 10 were unuised
[12:48:00] DCG: i always had to change some setting in w98 to keep irqsharing from happening
[12:48:00] anxt: so i went and bought a new board
[12:49:00] anxt: after the bois boots i dont think you have much say
[12:49:00] anxt: right now i have one ivtv on irq 3 i think
[12:49:00] anxt: nic on irq 4
[12:49:00] DCG: actually theres lots of stuff you can do if the os supports changing the pci tables
[12:50:00] anxt: ok that is new to me
[12:50:00] anxt: that can be done in linux too?
[12:50:00] DCG: in theory
[12:50:00] DCG: i've not done it ever though
[12:50:00] anxt: k
[12:50:00] anxt: apic?
[12:50:00] DCG: cause it has to be done very early in boot
[12:51:00] anxt: i looked in source for my soundcard and saw no place to force it
[12:51:00] anxt: but i am a useless programmer
[12:51:00] DCG: it wont be there

[13:31:00] harryman100: Hi,
[13:34:00] harryman100: I've been having loads of problems getting mythtv to work, it compiles fine, but everytime I run it I get an error "QSqlDatabase warning: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded", I have re-compiled QT with -plugin-sql-mysql several times and mythtv several times, but it always seems to fail to work, When I do ./configure --help for QT, next to the plugin-sql part it says "Autodetected on this system: sqlite" suggesting that it'
[13:34:00] harryman100: s not finding mysql, does anyone know what it's looking for. I have the mysql headers in /usr/local/mysql/include
[13:35:00] anxt: gentoo?
[13:35:00] harryman100: slack
[13:36:00] anxt: can you pass the location of that in ./configure?
[13:36:00] GreyFoxx: harryman100: Check /etc/ld.so.conf and see if the path to the QT plugins dir is in there. I had to add a entry for /usr/lib/qt/plugins/sqldrivers
[13:37:00] GreyFoxx: Plus make sure that libmysqlclient is somewhere on the path since the QT libswill want to load that
[13:37:00] anxt: good call GreyFoxx
[13:38:00] GreyFoxx: The stock QT that comes with Slackware will work, it has the plugin library. Just need to point ld.so.conf to the right place
[13:38:00] harryman100: I have tried that, but it doesn't appear to work, HOWEVER, I've just tried "./configure -I /usr/local/mysql/include/ -L /usr/local/mysql/lib/ --help" and this time it says "Autodetected on this system: mysql, sqlite" so I'm going to try compiling with those options, I'll be back in as much time as it takes to compile QT... cheers for the suggestions
[13:39:00] GreyFoxx: harryman100: The QT that came with Slackware would have done the job. With mysql libraries available all it woulod need is that entry
[13:39:00] GreyFoxx: but have fun, compiling QT does take a while
[13:40:00] harryman100: GreyFoxx: I no longer have that, as I upgraded to QT4 a while ago, so I'm going to try with that first, and then if that fails go back to the stock slack QT
[13:40:00] anxt: as long as it isn't in /opt
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: QT4 will very likely NOT work with Mythtv
[13:41:00] anxt: what the fuck is /opt
[13:41:00] anxt: i hate /opt
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: Some big code changes need to be done to support QT4
[13:41:00] anxt: i am using 3.3.4 i think
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: /opt is very common on Solaris, for some reason KDE is often there
[13:42:00] anxt: i don't see the poijnt of opt
[13:42:00] GreyFoxx: It's a location for locally compiled/installed apps that are not part of the base OS. kind of like their version of /usr/local/
[13:42:00] anxt: but that is preference i guess

[14:32:00] GreyFoxx: harryman100: I've never used the stock mysql that comes with slackware. I've always installed it myself, so I've never noticed if they provide a shared mysqlclient.so or not
[14:32:00] benw: if you are on an rpm based install
[14:34:00] harryman100: GreyFoxx: I've installed it myself as well, but I've just spotted on the mysql site that they offer a static and a dynamic version seperately, so I'm downloading the dynamic version now
[14:34:00] GreyFoxx: I've never used a package for it. I've always compiledit manually. But adynamic version sounds likeit should have what you need

[14:38:00] _dave: how can i get thru this ?
[14:40:00] drummer87: hey, does mythtv run inside gnome or kde? or is it like it's own de? i'm confused as to how it works and what i can use it for...
[14:41:00] GreyFoxx: mythtv runs with or without any window manager or desktop environment
[14:41:00] _dave: it makes its own user acct from what ive seen, but i think it runs in whatever gui u use
[14:41:00] GreyFoxx: though it is best to run it under a window manager of some sort if only to avoid focus issues
[14:41:00] GreyFoxx: even just a very minimal onme
[14:42:00] _dave: anyone know of an apt source where ALL required versions of files can be found ? i found one guys brag page about how easy it was, but the server doesn't exist
[14:43:00] ** Tommck doesn't use packages **
[14:43:00] GreyFoxx: me either

[14:44:00] GreyFoxx: _dave: No, that's not a requirement

[15:53:00] evilbuny: i bought a projector
[15:53:00] evilbuny: and the xbox surround kit/plug thing
[15:53:00] D-side: how's the bulb life?
[15:53:00] evilbuny: 3000hrs apparently
[15:53:00] D-side: the Advanced or HD AV pack?

[15:54:00] CanadaBoy: D-side: so are there xbmc skins that look like mythtv?
[15:54:00] D-side: CanadaBoy: no, none that i've found
[15:55:00] D-side: but i prefer the look of Project Mayhem III anyway. ever se it?
[15:55:00] D-side: evilbuny: thats the Advanced one.
[15:55:00] D-side: svideo and optical.
[15:55:00] CanadaBoy: me so ...

[15:57:00] D-side: waiting on my chip. :)
[15:57:00] evilbuny: i didn't chip mine
[15:58:00] D-side: the softmod instructions i found were a pain in the ass.
[15:58:00] evilbuny: we shorted 3 solder points, ran a game hack and then uploaded a new bios
[15:58:00] D-side: that and i dont own a mem card, or action replay, or the dumb exploitable game.
[15:58:00] evilbuny: rental shop :)
[15:58:00] D-side: those three things together equalled the cost of the chip.

[16:04:00] D-side: CanadaBoy: i havent used the myth scripts yet, but i hear they're great.
[16:04:00] Tommck: what looks sweet?
[16:04:00] Tommck: evil – unless the 2 machines are next to each other, there'll be some variance in bandwidth, right?
[16:04:00] D-side: probably xbmc and the mythtv python scripts for it.
[16:04:00] ** Tommck uses wires whenever possible **
[16:04:00] evilbuny: depends on antenna, density of walls etc etc etc
[16:04:00] D-side: i'm using wireless to bridge wired segments.

[16:05:00] D-side: thats the way to do it.
[16:05:00] evilbuny: Tommck: rental
[16:05:00] evilbuny: or I would
[16:05:00] Tommck: :)
[16:05:00] Tommck: and tubes for new wires

[16:06:00] Tommck: yeah.. conduit for new stuff
[16:07:00] D-side: if i were going to build, i'd do stupid shit.
[16:07:00] evilbuny: either of you guys have any experience with pvr 150 mce's?
[16:07:00] D-side: like terminate all wires to the closest closet, so i could have managed switches in each room. :)
[16:07:00] Tommck: evilbuny – I have a PVR-500
[16:07:00] Tommck: D-side that's what I have :)
[16:07:00] D-side: managed switches in each room?

[16:21:00] NightBird: ah
[16:21:00] Tommck: some of Microsoft's employees could contribute to ivtv and I wouldn't go buy MS Office :)

[16:29:00] D-side: yeah. whats the throughput, you know?
[16:30:00] Tommck: unfortunately, I'm using cp, so it'd not giving me stats :)
[16:31:00] Tommck: but I'm using a cheap Linsksys switch, so it's not gonna max out the range
[16:31:00] Tommck: but even at 8MB/s, it's a LONG time
[16:31:00] Tommck: or did I do my math wrong?
[16:31:00] Tommck: wait.. it should only be about 15–20 minutes?
[16:33:00] defaultro: hi tommck
[16:33:00] Tommck: hey defaultro

[16:33:00] Tommck: D-side am I right?
[16:33:00] Tommck: I should stop using "cp" and switch to something else
[16:33:00] defaultro: local network
[16:33:00] Tommck: this is a "cp" over NFS
[16:34:00] Tommck: it's been probably 20 minutes and only 775MB has transferred

[16:35:00] defaultro: am on 100mbps though
[16:35:00] Tommck: me too :)
[16:35:00] defaultro: use ftp then
[16:35:00] D-side: thats really rather slow, yes.

[16:56:00] pmowry: I have a PVR-350 in an slow machine. IVTV has a frame buffer driver for it's TV out. It works great for TV programs and most mythtv plugins, looks fine with the few avi files I've tried. and a few games. If you are buying and have enough CPU to not need the hardware decoding, go with a 250 or 150 and get a graphics card with TV-out. Even a $40 Nvidia card will do.
[16:57:00] ** NightBird nods **
[16:57:00] NightBird: I have an old GeForce I'm going to be useing with s-video out
[17:00:00] pmowry: When choosing between a 250 and a 150: the 150 requires you to use the 0.3.0 ivtv drivers while the 250 will let you use the more stable 0.2.0rc3. But my knowledge is a dit dated.
[17:00:00] harryman100: Hi, does anyone know why my DVB channels scan through Mythtv doesn't pick up all the channels it should? I know I can receive them, because I currently watch them in xine. I live in the UK.

[19:12:00] Tommck: the mouse is useless
[19:12:00] rapha: Tommck: Because I can't reach some of the controls using the keyboard.
[19:13:00] Tommck: rapha – not possible.... myth doesn't use the mouse

[19:38:00] stoffel: rapha: takes ~2–3 hours with my grabber for ~30 stations and extended descriptions
[19:38:00] stoffel: and 7 days of data
[19:38:00] robin_: evilbuny: yes i tried Logo and strict. but it did skip the commercial for only 2 sec

[19:39:00] robin_: evilbuny: you use strict and all ?
[19:39:00] evilbuny: yes
[19:39:00] robin_: ok will try that.
[19:39:00] rapha: stoffel: can it be restricted to, say, one day and one station only? I'd like to get mythtv working first...
[19:40:00] directhex: god bless the bbc, and the radio times' machine-readable data
[19:40:00] evilbuny: some channels screw with auto detection and shows too many ads, but better then loosing show
[19:42:00] directhex: tv_grab_uk_rt is nice and simple: open http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/$RTID.dat to get 14 days of that channel's data, including descriptions
[19:43:00] robin_: it did take me 4 hours to download epg for 30 stations (7 days)

[19:43:00] robin_: with tv_grab_nl

[19:45:00] evilbuny: directhex: my friend in sydney was pulling info from the dvb feed or something

[19:46:00] directhex: plus, i get more data from the radio times

[20:00:00] evilbuny: no
[20:00:00] evilbuny: that's for the frontend

[20:04:00] evilbuny: or reload permissions
[20:04:00] evilbuny: otherwise the new password won't take
[20:05:00] rapha: I flushed the privileges table. Logging in as mythtv over the mysql command works well.
[20:05:00] rapha: Nope
[20:05:00] rapha: restarting mysql didn't help
[20:05:00] evilbuny: hmmmm
[20:05:00] evilbuny: what do you have for the hostname, localhost? or 127.0.0.1?
[20:05:00] rapha: Tried both
[20:05:00] evilbuny: or IP
[20:05:00] rapha: Which is better?

[20:06:00] rapha: Gladly
[20:06:00] evilbuny: rapha: IP
[20:06:00] evilbuny: for this
[20:06:00] rapha: Okay
[20:06:00] directhex: edit /etc/hosts and remove the words "localhost.localdomain"
[20:06:00] rapha: Put it in both config files
[20:06:00] directhex: then restart the backend
[20:07:00] evilbuny: directhex: except if you want a frontend on a diff machine :)
[20:07:00] rapha: Okay
[20:07:00] evilbuny: in which case you need to check host settings in my.cnf and the mysql permissions table

[20:55:00] Tommck: is*
[20:55:00] dougiel: hmmm
[20:57:00] Sephen: I'm having some difficulty editing the mysql tables to fix a recording issue. The guide flipped the shows: show A was in the schedule to record before Show B, but they were broadcast the other way around. I deleted Show B from the interface, and edited the tables for Show A's title, description, etc, but its not showing up. I've mad changes to Recorded, and RecordedMarkUp. Is there another table I'm missing?
[20:59:00] ** Tommck things Sephen is brave **

[21:01:00] Sephen: I'm familiar with mysql quite a bit, I've turned on query logging to try and see what the system is doing against mysql, but its not shedding enough light on the issue.
[21:03:00] Tommck: why not just watch the shows as they are?
[21:04:00] Sephen: Tommck: I guess I'm a purist. =)
[21:04:00] Tommck: :)
[21:04:00] Sephen: Besides, once I figure this out, I have some files I want to add to the "recorded shows" listing as well – files I've recorded from other sources.

[21:04:00] Tommck: why not just put them in MythVideo?
[21:05:00] KaiForce: can't you just put them in videos?
[21:05:00] ** Tommck thinks Sephen has confused purist with masochist :) **
[21:06:00] Sephen: Maybe. I'd have to compile that module first. I'm still on 0.15, on a 64bit install (that wasn't fun). This weekend's weather is crappy, so I might convert the box to a nice 32bit install and the latest 0.18.1.
[21:06:00] Tommck: wow.. that's ancient in Myth terms
[21:06:00] KaiForce: i added another pvr250 and a second receiver to myth, man that could not have been easier
[21:06:00] Sephen: I had to modify a lot of make files to get myth to build in a 64bit environment.
[21:07:00] KaiForce: biggest problem was the cable to turn a usb port into a serial cable for changing channels
[21:08:00] Tommck: KaiForce – how long did that take?
[21:08:00] KaiForce: rerouting my directv cable, moving the receiver, getting the cable parts and setting it all up took about 4 hours
[21:09:00] Tommck: I mean the USB thingy
[21:10:00] Tommck: I have one for windows... it was just a driver install
[21:10:00] KaiForce: well i threw money at the problem since I wanted instant gratification, bought a usb to serial cable converter for 30 bucks, then a serial-rj11 converter, discovered i needed a gender changer, then found out the directv receiver needs the smaller rj11 connector. the cable is hideous but working right now :)
[21:11:00] KaiForce: i stole a green loopy cable off a telephone handset
[21:11:00] Tommck: KaiForce – the smaller is acutally the rj6
[21:11:00] evilbuny: KaiForce: rj12 is bigger then rj11
[21:11:00] KaiForce: rj6, thanks, now i know what to buy
[21:11:00] Tommck: I got one for $0.53
[21:11:00] Tommck: (with tax)
[21:11:00] KaiForce: can i crimp that with an rj11 crimper?
[21:11:00] Tommck: and the store let me use their crimper :)
[21:11:00] Tommck: no
[21:11:00] Tommck: and it's usually not on the multi-crimper things
[21:12:00] Tommck: hardly anyone makes their own handset cables
[21:12:00] KaiForce: i have an rj45/rj11 crimp tool
[21:12:00] Tommck: won't help
[21:13:00] KaiForce: we have a phone that we only use in the event of power loss, its currently out of commission :)

[21:51:00] directhex: it's set in mythtv-0.18.1/programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp
[21:52:00] directhex: i think you can override it directly in the sql, ro something like that
[21:52:00] Tommck: directhex so he has to recompilte mythfilldatabase/

[21:53:00] directhex: well i THINK that's where it's set. grep is usually helpful in these situations
[21:53:00] harryman100: is mythfilldatabase the only thing I would need to recompile?

[21:54:00] harryman100: yeah it's set in there, I guess I would need to re-configure to get it to change though

[23:34:00] Z-Morek: ok so now I have more issues
[23:34:00] Z-Morek: I got the fc4 rescue cd
[23:35:00] Z-Morek: and since I'm running this on a TV rather than a monitor when IT attempts to start X, it uses an incorrect refresh etc. for the TV
[23:35:00] Z-Morek: and since I'm using some cheapo walmart keyboard that isn't a standard keyboard, the f-keys don't work right
[23:36:00] Z-Morek: so I have no idea what options to use

[23:39:00] ilpavox: stupid question: just found out you can install mythtv on xbox. how does the video get to mythtv first? i thought an xbox only has a video-in, no v-out?
[23:40:00] k-man (n=jason@adsl-112-70.swiftdsl.com.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:40:00] ilpavox: i mean the other way around
[23:40:00] Tommck: ilpavox – the network.
[23:40:00] Tommck: it's a front-end only
[23:41:00] ilpavox: so no video actually goes through the xbox?
[23:41:00] Tommck: through?
[23:41:00] rapha (n=rapha@p54A0AD61.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Quit ("Verlassend")
[23:42:00] Tommck: it displays it
[23:42:00] ilpavox: features like pausing video would be impossible without a video-in in the xbox right?
[23:42:00] Tommck: it has to be recorded elswhere (thus "front-end only")
[23:42:00] Tommck: no
[23:42:00] Tommck: ilpavox – do you have Myth now?
[23:42:00] ilpavox: nope. been reading up on it. thinking about using it
[23:42:00] Tommck: oh ok
[23:43:00] Tommck: Myth has 2 "apps"... a backend and a frontend
[23:43:00] slePP: Beirdo: boo
[23:43:00] Tommck: you can have one or more of both..
[23:43:00] Tommck: they can run on any machine.
[23:43:00] Tommck: the "backend" does all the scheduling and recording..
[23:43:00] Tommck: the frontend does the displaying...
[23:43:00] Tommck: you can run both on one machine
[23:43:00] splAt1 is now known as splat1
[23:43:00] Tommck: but an XBox can only be a frontend, thus requiring a separate backend.
[23:43:00] Tommck: when you have a remote frontend, it gets the video over the network.
[23:44:00] Tommck: (from the backend)
[23:44:00] ilpavox: give me an example backend in an xbox situation?
[23:44:00] NightBird: a computer with a capture card
[23:44:00] Tommck: ilpavox – ANY pc with MythTV installed on it sitting on the same Lan running the backend
[23:45:00] ilpavox: so where is the bennefit? you can have the pc in a different room from the frontend or something?

[23:45:00] Tommck: ilpavox – you can have one machine as a combined front/back end in one room... and the XBox as a frontend in another... running off the same set of recordings
[23:45:00] grendel970: anyone using xv with a pvr-350? I'm having a problem which shows green and purple blocks with xv usage, normal x11 works fine..
[23:45:00] Tommck: the Xbox is also the cheapest way to output HDTV too
[23:46:00] ilpavox: got ya
[23:46:00] ilpavox: thanks for the info
[23:46:00] Tommck: (considering it's a whole PC for $200 or whatever it is now)
[23:46:00] Tommck: np

[23:51:00] Z-Morek: I swapped to a different keyboard, found out I had to boot using the paramater nofb
[23:51:00] D-side: Tommck: thats what i'm hoping for. :)
[23:51:00] Tommck: D-side – hoping for what?
[23:52:00] D-side: hdtv through a tv.
[23:52:00] D-side: er, s/tv/xbox
[23:52:00] Tommck: D-side – ah... I have it from a PC already... didn't want to screw up my XBox anyway
[23:53:00] ** Tommck is hoping to be able to get xine to actually play a DVD some day **
[23:53:00] D-side: i'd like to not have to mess around with the pc+tv stuff, so i'm aiming for an xbox frontend.
[23:53:00] D-side: what kind of xine problems?
[23:53:00] Tommck: I didnt' want to mess around with soldering and stuff
[23:53:00] D-side: Tommck: oh certainly not. thats why i'm going with a solderless chip.
[23:53:00] Tommck: it doesnt' seem to understand something... says it's missing a plugin or something
[23:53:00] Tommck: D-side – how much does that cost?
[23:54:00] D-side: Tommck: about $80
[23:54:00] Tommck: not bad, I guess
[23:54:00] D-side: you could always softmod it, but that requires materials that are close to that amount anyway
[23:55:00] k-man: does one mount dvd's in the same way as one mounts cds?
[23:55:00] D-side: sort of.
[23:55:00] D-side: usually its a UDF filesystem instead of iso9660
[23:55:00] k-man: oh
[23:55:00] k-man: i see
[23:55:00] k-man: so -t udf?
[23:55:00] D-side: yep

[23:56:00] k-man: yeah
[23:56:00] jcb: is there any downside when using directfb compared to X?
[23:56:00] k-man: i think my dvd drive might be a dud
[23:56:00] k-man: although it worked fine for cds
[23:56:00] k-man: but its having problems mounting a dvd
[23:57:00] grendel970: anyone using a pvr-350 with ivtv drivers and XV? I'm getting green and purple blocks for XV output, but normal X11 works fine..
[23:57:00] Tommck: D-side – might you be able to help with the xine issues I'm having?
[23:58:00] Z-Morek (n=ZMorek@ip68-229-73-233.ri.ri.cox.net) Quit ()
[23:59:00] k-man: ah, that was the problem, it was trying to mount it as iso9660
