[01:04:00] simon_c_home: Hi All. I'm stting up a new frontend, and the video playback isn't taking up the full screen. There's a small band at the bottom that's showing the desktop. Any clues
[01:06:00] jhoke: heyas
[01:07:00] jhoke: xris, so can I ask you what settings you are using with nuvexport? I am curious to see how others use it.. and well.. who better to ask :) I want to archive shows to DATA dvd, and find a nice sweetspot btwn size/quality and well.. video is not my strength :)
[01:09:00] PatrickDK: it depends on the video's your encoding
[01:09:00] PatrickDK: maybe try 400–800kbit
[01:11:00] xris: jhoke: I use the defaults (since I made them).. except that I use --transcode (transcode is better for xvid imho) and multipass.
[01:11:00] jhoke: I am starting with mpeg2 files from my x50's ... avg about 2.4gb/hr ... also trying to figure out which of the options would be best for data archiving... divx, xvid, etc etc etc...
[01:12:00] jhoke: xris: LOL ... figured... was interested in what you are using (ie: xvid & transcode) as I recall you saying that you just burn your files onto DVD ... nor for a player, just for data storage ;)

[01:13:00] psm321: hi
[01:13:00] jhoke: (too many things giving me heartburn with gcc4...<G>)
[01:13:00] PatrickDK: hmm, do the defaults give you max quality? or takes less encoding time?
[01:14:00] simon_c_home: Humm. When it starts playback, it shifts the entire screen up about 15–20 pixels. Anyone any clues ?
[01:14:00] psm321: recently, after a forced reboot, mythfrontend keeps saying "Not Flagged" whenever i try to skip commercials (i know they are flagged because of the job queue status and the icon on the recordings screen)
[01:15:00] xris: jhoke: yup. just the default settings for xvid, but with transcode and multipass.
[01:15:00] psm321: PatrickDK: i dont know about quality vs time, but they are definitely set to favor quality over filesize
[01:15:00] xris: I set them to match what most pirated tv shows seem to use as far as bitrate and frame size go.
[01:15:00] jhoke: xris, TY!
[01:15:00] PatrickDK: heh, I hate the framesizes they use
[01:16:00] PatrickDK: anything other than 720x480 or larger I think is just evil :)
[01:16:00] PatrickDK: unless your using some device that 320x240 is the max
[01:17:00] psm321: PatrickDK: i tend to favor small filesize... i have things set so that it takes ~75MB per half hour
[01:17:00] psm321: allows for my huge obsessive recording habit
[01:17:00] PatrickDK: damn, I use like 1gig for that
[01:17:00] PatrickDK: but then, I have terabytes of storage
[01:17:00] Norbert (n=deb@dialup-4.233.200.83.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:17:00] Norbert: Hi.
[01:17:00] jhoke: Heh
[01:18:00] psm321: hi
[01:18:00] PatrickDK: alot of my stuff is anime, and it tends to not like highcompression very much
[01:18:00] psm321: so anyone have any ideas for me?
[01:18:00] jhoke: I have just been storing the mpegs as they come off my card... 2.4g/hr ...except the cartoons I record for the lil one... those are set to autotranscode and average about 400m/hr
[01:19:00] MrSpiffy: 2.4G an hour? is that an mpeg2 recording?
[01:19:00] jhoke: psm: are you able to load the commercials into the cutlist?
[01:19:00] jhoke: MrSpiffy yes
[01:19:00] PatrickDK: yep
[01:19:00] PatrickDK: the lower setting for the pvr cards
[01:19:00] MrSpiffy: damn
[01:19:00] MrSpiffy: and I was thinking about getting a pvr250
[01:19:00] jhoke: I range from about 2.1gb/hr -> 3.4gb/hr
[01:19:00] SarahEmm: heh
[01:20:00] jhoke: depending on the profile I am using
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: the PVR cards are nice for CPU load...
[01:20:00] MrSpiffy: I'm sw encoding a wintv 401 mpeg4 at about 1G per hour
[01:20:00] MrSpiffy: damn that's big
[01:20:00] jhoke: I just need about three more 400gb drives :)
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: that's what i use MrSpiffy
[01:20:00] PatrickDK: gig per hour is not big
[01:20:00] MrSpiffy: jhoke, I recently bought a highpoint ide raid card – love it. cheap!
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: looking to add a few more :)
[01:20:00] PatrickDK: hell, dvd is like 2gigs per hour
[01:21:00] Norbert: I have a question about the Hauppage 350.
[01:21:00] Norbert: I am thinking about getting one, and useing it's tv-out. I heard it was too slow for games. What does that mean?
[01:21:00] PatrickDK: norbert, thanks for letting us know you have a question
[01:21:00] PatrickDK: norbert, don't play quake on it
[01:21:00] jhoke: once I actually take the time to learn more about video compression and codecs, etc... I will tweak more ... until then, this works for the most part...
[01:22:00] jhoke: are you planning on using yuour mythtv back end as a gaming box as well?
[01:22:00] Norbert: I don't understand how video output can affect playing games.
[01:22:00] Norbert: I have a Playstation, I have no problems playing games on my TV.
[01:23:00] GreyFoxx: Norbert: It's not a standard video card, and the lag of writing to the tv out would make playing games rough. Plus there is no 3d acceleration onboard at all so it would all have to be done in software
[01:23:00] Norbert: Is the 350 unable to output that same kind of video signal?
[01:23:00] PatrickDK: no
[01:23:00] PatrickDK: it has to do with bandwidth
[01:23:00] PatrickDK: a 350, used as a video card, will max out the pci bus
[01:23:00] PatrickDK: it is not suppost to be used as a video card
[01:23:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, you use a 401 or a pvr250 ?
[01:24:00] Norbert: Oh, I think I get it now.
[01:24:00] PatrickDK: it does not have a fast interface for that, or onboard chips to speed it up
[01:24:00] MrSpiffy (n=MrSpiffy@c-24-128-129-105.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[01:24:00] Norbert: Ok.
[01:24:00] PatrickDK: it does have mpeg decompression stuff, so mpeg is very fast
[01:24:00] Norbert: So I would guess a 250 is sufficient?
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: mrspiffy: a BTTV software-encoded card.
[01:24:00] SarahEmm: err, he's gone...
[01:24:00] Norbert: And get a good tv-out card?
[01:25:00] PatrickDK: unless you want tv out, for livetv or recorded mpeg files, get a 150
[01:25:00] Norbert: Well I do want to create a HTPC.
[01:25:00] PatrickDK: if you want to play back none-mpeg, or dvi or soemthing, get a good video card
[01:25:00] Norbert: So yea I want to be able to view everything on a TV.

[01:25:00] GreyFoxx: Norbert: Then a Nvidia card is what most use
[01:25:00] Norbert: Oh.
[01:25:00] PatrickDK: 350 output will do it, but, well, that is all your computer will do
[01:25:00] Norbert: Yea...
[01:26:00] Norbert: I really don't want to deal with proprietary software...
[01:26:00] Norbert: I am beginning to think that I am out of luck.
[01:26:00] GreyFoxx: Norbert: Are you referring to the closed source Nvidia driver ?
[01:26:00] Norbert: Yes.
[01:26:00] GreyFoxx: I personally don't see it as a concern
[01:27:00] GreyFoxx: they release often
[01:27:00] GreyFoxx: and seem to fix the major bugs
[01:27:00] Norbert: Yea, I'm a Free software advocate.
[01:27:00] GreyFoxx: and It's by far the most commonly used card for a Linux based htpc because of their regular driver releases
[01:27:00] PatrickDK: most software isn't free
[01:27:00] PatrickDK: but only freeto none commercial usage of it
[01:27:00] Norbert: I see.
[01:28:00] psm321: jhoke: i have no idea... how would i check?
[01:28:00] jhoke: do not fear(tm) the nvidia driver
[01:28:00] jhoke: psm:?
[01:28:00] psm321: jhoke: (i dont use cutlist for anything else)
[01:28:00] jhoke: ah
[01:28:00] psm321: [19:18] <jhoke> psm: are you able to load the commercials into the cutlist?
[01:28:00] psm321: (sorry it took so long to answer)
[01:28:00] jhoke: ok, load up a recording in myth and hit "e" then "z"
[01:29:00] jhoke: that will put you into edit mode and load up the commerical flag list... if it exists :)
[01:29:00] jhoke: then hit e again to exit
[01:29:00] psm321: hitting e brings up the edit screen
[01:29:00] psm321: z doesnt appear to do anything visible
[01:29:00] jhoke: ok, then its above my meager head :O)
[01:29:00] psm321: oh, its getting mysql errors
[01:29:00] psm321: thats not good :-/
[01:30:00] psm321: mustve gotten killed with the reboot
[01:30:00] jhoke: Is there documentation on promoting a slave BE -> being the master BE?
[01:31:00] jhoke: That'd do it

[01:32:00] SarahEmm: mrspiffy: a BTTV software-encoded card. <-- said that just after you left ;)
[01:33:00] jhoke: bbiab... gonna go sit outside and enjoy a nice cigar ... gotta love friends who fly into the states with diplo pouches :-D
[01:33:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: Cubans ?
[01:33:00] jhoke: No, that would be illegal now Grey :)
[01:33:00] GreyFoxx: Maybe in your county
[01:33:00] GreyFoxx: country
[01:34:00] jhoke: I would never have a real Monte No.2 here in the states :-D
[01:34:00] GreyFoxx: :)

[01:34:00] GreyFoxx: perfectly legal :)
[01:34:00] jhoke: Bastard!
[01:34:00] jhoke: I have a small humidor that would love to keep some of them company :)

[01:35:00] jhoke: but bbiab
[01:35:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, I was going to get a pvr 250 because I am not jazzed about the quality of the pic
[01:35:00] SarahEmm: ahh
[01:36:00] MrSpiffy: washed out or too bright or too much contract or not enough blah blah blah
[01:36:00] SarahEmm: i'm fine with my pic quality :)
[01:36:00] deadguppy: anyone think a P3–1000 is fast enough for myth ?
[01:36:00] MrSpiffy: hm
[01:36:00] SarahEmm: i'm not too jazzed about the CPU load tho :)
[01:36:00] MrSpiffy: deadguppy, front end yes
[01:36:00] SarahEmm: so pondering moving to a dualcore athlon and adding another tuner or two
[01:36:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, I split my fornt/back – backend is on a 3G p4 with HT running an smp kernel
[01:36:00] MrSpiffy: plenty of cpu :)
[01:37:00] MrSpiffy: but the pic quality is not very spiffy
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: for multiple cards tho MrSpiffy?
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: i'm okay CPU-wise for one
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: but i want to add more than one tuner
[01:37:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, yeah – one card here too – I worry about adding more – and I have 2 slots ectra
[01:37:00] deadguppy: front end... is there a back end ?
[01:37:00] MrSpiffy: deadguppy, yes – often on the same box
[01:37:00] MrSpiffy: but not always :)
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: MrSpiffy: i'm at like 90% CPU right now, i can't add any more cards :)
[01:37:00] MrSpiffy: bummer
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: MrSpiffy: going to two faster processors would let me, tho.
[01:38:00] deadguppy: you mean 2 motherboards ?
[01:38:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, 90% is tight
[01:38:00] MrSpiffy: deadguppy, nope
[01:38:00] SarahEmm: when my backups starts at 2100 i start dropping frames MrSpiffy heh
[01:38:00] MrSpiffy: SarahEmm, what cpu ?
[01:38:00] SarahEmm: it works, tho.
[01:38:00] deadguppy: okay let me rephrase.
[01:38:00] SarahEmm: celeron 1.7 :P
[01:38:00] MrSpiffy: ahhh
[01:38:00] deadguppy: whats minimum mobo reqs for myth ?
[01:38:00] ** MrSpiffy coughs up a celeron hairball **
[01:38:00] SarahEmm: MrSpiffy: LOL
[01:38:00] MrSpiffy: ack --->*
[01:39:00] GreyFoxx: deadguppy: Myth is setup to be 2 processes. The backend which handles the recording and scheduling, and the frontend which is the gui + playback
[01:39:00] SarahEmm: deadguppy: depends what you're doing with it and what cards you have :)
[01:39:00] GreyFoxx: they are often on the same box, but not always
[01:39:00] psm321: yay it works again! (except for a few days worth of recordings)
[01:39:00] SarahEmm: MrSpiffy: hence the wanting-to-upgrade ;)
[01:39:00] MrSpiffy: my dell DT is a 2.2G celeron and that was working with a wintv card
[01:39:00] GreyFoxx: the CPU depends a lot of the type of capture card
[01:39:00] MrSpiffy: but working pretty hard
[01:39:00] SarahEmm: GreyFoxx: true. we're both talking about plain tuner cards with software mpeg-4 tho
[01:39:00] SarahEmm: GreyFoxx: and i just realized you're not talking to us. sorry; )
[01:39:00] MrSpiffy: I like the machine but the cpu made for a not so good myth backend
[01:40:00] psm321: jhoke: thanks!
[01:40:00] GreyFoxx: If you get one with a hardware encoder then capture is basically 0 cpu, if it's a cheaper bttv softwar e card then you require much more cpu for the capture
[01:40:00] GreyFoxx: SarahEmm: heh
[01:40:00] SlicerDicer-: hey GreyFoxx I searched around alot about the issue
[01:40:00] SlicerDicer-: I cant find anything of what would be causing it :/
[01:40:00] GreyFoxx: deadguppy: Bug in general 1Ghz or better would likely give you the most flexibility
[01:41:00] SlicerDicer-: I also reverted my system back to where it was before putting nuvexport on to see if that did anything but nothing :/
[01:41:00] GreyFoxx: SlicerDicer-: You could try the ivtv-dev mailing list :)
[01:41:00] SlicerDicer-: I searched the mailing list
[01:41:00] SlicerDicer-: nothing :/
[01:41:00] GreyFoxx: I'm talking about posting to it
[01:41:00] deadguppy: so would a dual processor system be ideal ?
[01:41:00] SlicerDicer-: everybody who posted anything similar got ignored GreyFoxx
[01:41:00] SarahEmm: deadguppy: not needed for most people.
[01:41:00] deadguppy: so what do most people use ?
[01:42:00] GreyFoxx: deadguppy: not particularly. But again it depends on your other hardware choices
[01:42:00] SarahEmm: most people use a hauppauge PVR-xxx card which does encoding in hardware, so you don't need a powerful CPU
[01:42:00] SarahEmm: i'm talking about a dual box because i don't use PVR-xxx cards, meaning i burn up a lot more CPU
[01:42:00] SlicerDicer-: GreyFoxx, is it 100% sure the ivtv drivers if I 'mplayer /dev/video*' and its doign that?
[01:42:00] GreyFoxx: deadguppy: I'd say a Pvr250/150 capture card in a AMD box of at least 1GHZ with 256meg or more of ram and an Nvidia video card with tv out is the "basic" most common
[01:43:00] GreyFoxx: SlicerDicer-: It's 100% not Myth. That's all I can say
[01:43:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: drivers or the card :) not myth.
[01:43:00] SlicerDicer-: SarahEmm, is it possible the card just went bad?
[01:43:00] GreyFoxx: bu tsince ivtv si what talks to the card it would make sense to look there
[01:43:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: err, drivers or the card or the feed coming in, rather. something lower down than myth :)
[01:43:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: unlikely.
[01:43:00] SarahEmm: that would be a REALLY strange failure mode
[01:43:00] SarahEmm: cards don't usually 'go bad' by chopping 8 pixels off
[01:43:00] SlicerDicer-: SarahEmm, the feed is fine at least what I can tell
[01:44:00] SlicerDicer-: SarahEmm, I plugged the svideo cable that runs into my pvr directly into the TV and it looked fine
[01:44:00] SarahEmm: okay
[01:44:00] SarahEmm: so it sounds like card or drivers
[01:44:00] SarahEmm: have any other cards around to test?
[01:44:00] SlicerDicer-: no
[01:44:00] SarahEmm: running latest ivtv?

[01:46:00] SlicerDicer-: I am upgrading my driver to ivtv 3.8
[01:46:00] GreyFoxx: all transmissions tend to hAve 8 pixel black bars on both sides like I said earlier
[01:46:00] SlicerDicer-: yeah but this is far more than 8 pixel
[01:46:00] SlicerDicer-: I would rough guess about 60 pixel if not more
[01:46:00] GreyFoxx: plug a dvd player in and pop in a fullscreen dvd. capture that and look at it
[01:47:00] SlicerDicer-: ok
[01:47:00] GreyFoxx: you also eliminate the source at that point
[01:47:00] SlicerDicer-: brb
[01:47:00] SlicerDicer-: ahh shit I cant do that :/
[01:47:00] SlicerDicer-: ohh wait I can lol
[01:47:00] SlicerDicer-: nvm brb
[01:48:00] simon_c_home: I've got a problem building myth on suse10. The errors start when compiling channeleditor.cpp. I get warnings in the qt3/include/qsqldatabase.h and then in qxml.h
[01:50:00] simon_c_home: and I've also got a problem on a new frontent.
[01:50:00] simon_c_home: the video playback isn't taking up the full screen. There's a small band at the bottom that's showing the desktop. Any clues
[01:50:00] jhoke: simon: I am still avoiding SuSE 10 for the same reason I am hating FC3/4 ... its gcc4 based... you may have issues with alot of apps that are not gcc4 safe :(
[01:51:00] SarahEmm: simon_c: is it just myth, or all xv apps?
[01:51:00] SlicerDicer-: GreyFoxx, seems to be fine? with fullscreen dvd?
[01:51:00] simon_c_home: I dont' have any other xv apps
[01:51:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: then it's your source.
[01:52:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: Ahh. I took some RPMs from atrpms for fc3, and ported them to suse9.3 Now I'm trying those RPMs on suse10.
[01:52:00] SlicerDicer-: errm shit so my comcast box just decided to up and flipout?
[01:52:00] jhoke: so ...I am D/L'ing SuSE 9.3 for my AMD64 and go from there... feh
[01:52:00] SlicerDicer-: or could it be the svideo cable?
[01:52:00] SarahEmm: simon_c: well, i'd build one and test it because that sounds like a video driver issue :)
[01:52:00] SlicerDicer-: cause this is a different svideocable
[01:52:00] jhoke: simon... bad juju... I'd get out a bottle of rum, a chicken and a good cigar and pray
[01:52:00] simon_c_home: SarahEmm: OK. What would you sugest ? Just mplayer or something ?
[01:52:00] GreyFoxx: SlicerDicer-: Couldn't hurt to try the new cable on the old box
[01:52:00] jhoke: :)
[01:52:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: :-)
[01:52:00] SarahEmm: yeah, that's what i'd use simon_c
[01:52:00] GreyFoxx: and I assume you have tried multiple channels and they all exhibited this behaviour ?
[01:52:00] jhoke: just build from source... no pain :)
[01:53:00] simon_c_home: SarahEmm: will do.
[01:53:00] SlicerDicer-: GreyFoxx, yes
[01:53:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: I guess, looking at the fc4 RPMs, may have different patches than the fc3 ones. .....
[01:53:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: that will lead to a long long night though.
[01:53:00] jhoke: they may also bite you in the arse
[01:53:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: and I'm nearly asleep already.
[01:54:00] jhoke: nah... should not take more than a couple of hours soup -> nuts :)
[01:54:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: true. I'd *like* to understand the compile, (and RPMs them selves) enough to build my own from scratch. But I don't have the time right now.
[01:54:00] jhoke: do you have the pre-requesites installed (ivtv, etc)

[01:55:00] simon_c_home: the spec file has the "requiredforbuild" sections pritty well filled out, so I'm 99% sure.
[01:56:00] SlicerDicer-: both of my comcast boxes do it SarahEmm
[01:56:00] BishounenNightBi is now known as NightBird
[01:56:00] jhoke: I am still trying to figure out the new options wiht autoarchiving, transcode-archival, etc etc etc in SVN
[01:56:00] SlicerDicer-: SarahEmm, would it be a update to the comcast boxes recently that did it?
[01:56:00] jhoke: if you have the pre-reqs installed then installing myth from source is quite straight forward ... the docs are damn good :)
[01:57:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: It's on the todo list.
[01:57:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: But it will probably be months before I get round to looking at it :-)
[01:58:00] jhoke: i'm doing it now ... thats why I am saying it :)
[01:58:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: :-) on suse 10 ;-)
[01:58:00] jhoke: has anyone promoted a slave BE to the Master BE ? any gotchas I should know about
[01:58:00] jhoke: simon: hell no :) on suse 9.3
[01:59:00] SlicerDicer-: GreyFoxx, SarahEmm only some channels seem to do it now?
[01:59:00] jhoke: simon: I am staying away from anything gcc4 based until everything needed by nuvexport supports it (mpeg2cut, etc)
[01:59:00] simon_c_home: SarahEmm: mplayer plays stuff fine. When myht starts, it starts full screen fine. THen when it starts playback, it seems to becomes windowized, and shifted up about 15 pixels.
[01:59:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: 'k
[02:00:00] jhoke: I did try umbuntu this afternoon... not liking it... would rather just fire up debian proper
[02:00:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: it's your box then.
[02:00:00] SarahEmm: SlicerDicer: talk to comcast or whoever :P
[02:00:00] SlicerDicer-: umm... alright
[02:01:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: I'm pritty firmly stuck on suse right now.
[02:01:00] SarahEmm: simon_c: hrm. i dunno :/ that's odd..

[02:02:00] jhoke: simon: as am I for work, whcih is why I am using it going forward ...I do ALOT of IBM/Tivoli consulting and use SuSE pretty much exclusively for clients
[02:02:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: I work for Novell.
[02:02:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: So anything that goes near work has to be suse or nld.
[02:02:00] jhoke: well, that would explain your love for the chameleon :)
[02:02:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: and I'll just get confused trying to do anything else at home ;-)
[02:03:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: :-)
[02:03:00] jhoke: one question, when are they gonna color the lizard red :)
[02:03:00] simon_c_home: it's a chamelion. (sp?).
[02:03:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: They'll probably just tatoo a red N onto it or something.
[02:03:00] jhoke: lol
[02:05:00] simon_c_home: probably some time after they decide if KDE or gnome should be the default desktop / default choice. ;-)
[02:05:00] jhoke: I prefer allowing me to choose @ install... and to choose something less... heavy :)
[02:06:00] simon_c_home: KDE man myself. Although this new frontend is going to have fvwm if I can figure out how to control it with keys. It's only a P2–300 !!
[02:07:00] jhoke: man this is taking quite some time... downloading 9.3 for x64... like downloading 2 distros ...
[02:07:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: It is two distros.
[02:08:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: IIRC, it's a dual-arch DVD
[02:08:00] jhoke: simon: I know... was being sarcastic ;)
[02:08:00] simon_c_home: Doh!
[02:08:00] jhoke: [mythtv@mythtv SUSE]$ du -sh
[02:08:00] jhoke: 12G (and not yet done... and this is skipping the src directory as well)
[02:09:00] jhoke: waiting for native x64 distros w/out the added weight of i386 chaff
[02:10:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: The DVD ISO is only 8.5GB in size. But I guess the network isntall points have more on them.
[02:10:00] simon_c_home: jhoke: I tend to spend most of my time with NLD, so I'm not totally clued up on the inns and outs of the various public install points
[02:10:00] jhoke: NLD?
[02:11:00] simon_c_home: Novell Linux Desktop
[02:11:00] jhoke: ah
[02:11:00] simon_c_home: take sles9, add some suse9.1 buts, and a some ximian desktop. = NLD.
[02:11:00] simon_c_home: long support life.
[02:11:00] simon_c_home: but no bleading edge stuff.
[02:11:00] jhoke: thats a good thing... for myday job
[02:12:00] jhoke: I deploy tivoli access manager and tivoli identity manager for my company's clients (I work for Unisys... we were Banyan before we changed name to ePresence and got picked up by Unisys ...)
[02:12:00] simon_c_home: something like a 5 year support life. Not sure if it's 5 years from when it stops being sold, or 5 years from launch.
[02:13:00] jhoke: I would assume launch
[02:13:00] jhoke: but i am an ass :)
[02:13:00] simon_c_home: :-)
[02:15:00] jhoke: what I should have done is gone and actually bought 9.3... would have been done by now :-D
[02:15:00] simon_c_home: :-)
[02:16:00] jhoke: started dling about 15:48 EDT
[02:16:00] GreyFoxx: Heh physical media does make the install a little easier heh
[02:16:00] jhoke: a tad bit :)
[02:16:00] GreyFoxx: My new Slackware CD's should show up any day now
[02:16:00] simon_c_home: Yep. That's a while. Why not just do an install form a network install point ?
[02:17:00] jhoke: and watch... some package will need a single RPM from the src directory that I told rsync to ignore :)

[02:18:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: That's what I do for a lot of stuff. local network installs or CD's
[02:19:00] jhoke: GreyFoxx: ever migrate a slave BE to a master before? wondering if there is docs on doing it or gotchas other than backing up the DB
[02:19:00] GreyFoxx: nope
[02:19:00] GreyFoxx: other than a couple options in mythtv-setup I can't imagine it being aproblem

[02:20:00] jhoke: basically a migration
[02:21:00] SarahEmm: what's the advantage of having multiple backends over one box?
[02:21:00] jhoke: brb... daughter wants me to get her some ice cream :)
[02:21:00] jhoke: and now I want some too
[02:21:00] simon_c_home: I *think* I found some instructions on the mythtv.info wiki site about backing up and migrating to new hw. Wasn't too hard cos I managed it while I was getting started with all this.
[02:22:00] GreyFoxx: SarahEmm: spreading diskspace, spreading the pci load, if you have a lot of recording sources it might e convienient
[02:22:00] SarahEmm: okay..
[02:22:00] GreyFoxx: Sara I have 3 250's in myt master and advb card in the slave
[02:22:00] GreyFoxx: I can play around with the slave and not affect the master
[02:22:00] SarahEmm: ahh okay.. so for big systems i guess it makes sense
[02:22:00] SarahEmm: potentially i guess if you can't get enough CPU in one box easilly a second box might be god

[02:25:00] GreyFoxx: SlicerDicer-: Doesn't sounds like a bad price
[02:25:00] SarahEmm: you can't just plug your cable into an HDTV Card tho can you? you'd only get OTA stuff?
[02:25:00] cosmo_: the hdtv card cant be used on analogue cable signals can it?
[02:25:00] GreyFoxx: probably sell pretty quick
[02:25:00] SarahEmm: yeah, i didn't think so cosmo
[02:26:00] GreyFoxx: cosmo_: the hd2000/3000 card capture analog just like a bttv card

[03:04:00] PatrickDK: twist, crimp, compress
[03:05:00] PatrickDK: twist suck the most
[03:05:00] PatrickDK: comress is water proof
[03:05:00] PatrickDK: compress that is

[03:05:00] DarkBeer: myth/xmame question: when I go into play games, I go to all games, then xmame, then I get a list of years from 1980–1989. under those there are some categories, but none of my roms. is this a problem with my catver.ini?
[03:06:00] hadees: PatrickDK, do you need special tools for compression or crimp?
[03:06:00] PatrickDK: hmm, yes
[03:06:00] hadees: i don't really need water proof
[03:06:00] PatrickDK: you could do without
[03:06:00] PatrickDK: but it's ALOT easier with
[03:07:00] PatrickDK: well, if you don't need waterproof, compression or crimp will work, though, compression will look better
[03:07:00] hadees: whats the price diffrence between the better two ones
[03:07:00] PatrickDK: I want to say compression will probably be twice as much
[03:08:00] PatrickDK: I think a box at homedepot is like $30 for 50 compression
[03:09:00] hadees: for compression is there any brand that is better or is it all the same
[03:09:00] hadees: and are the tools diffrent by brand?
[03:09:00] PatrickDK: heh, everything is different by brand
[03:09:00] PatrickDK: but well, I dunno really
[03:09:00] PatrickDK: I just get what is available at the electrical supply store
[03:09:00] hadees: i mean can i get a compression fitting from one brand and use it with a tool from anohter
[03:09:00] PatrickDK: mostly, yes
[03:10:00] PatrickDK: about 80% or more it will work

[03:12:00] v_thunder: does it really?
[03:12:00] PatrickDK: hmm
[03:12:00] PatrickDK: it might, not sure, I haven't looked that the guides source code
[03:13:00] v_thunder: hmm
[03:14:00] ruiner: ugh im soo frustrated, please can someone help me get my tuner card working?
[03:16:00] Agrajag-: what card?
[03:17:00] ruiner: i've tried 2- a hauppauge wintv, and an avermedia, both have the brooktree bt878 chipsets
[03:17:00] ruiner: so im using the kernel bttv module
[03:17:00] ruiner: seems to load just fine, detects the card & tuners just fine (from dmesg)
[03:17:00] PatrickDK: my wintv is just 848
[03:18:00] ruiner: my lspci says 878
[03:18:00] ruiner: does it matter, both use bttv, right?
[03:18:00] PatrickDK: not too much, I think bttv does both
[03:18:00] ruiner: right
[03:18:00] PatrickDK: how did you setup mythtv-setup?
[03:19:00] ruiner: well i've been trying to test it without mythtv, just by doing 'mplayer /dev/video0'
[03:19:00] ruiner: or cat'ing it into a file & then playing with mplayer
[03:19:00] PatrickDK: that won't work
[03:19:00] ruiner: i just get... "Cache fill: 16.41% (1376256 bytes) Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll

[03:19:00] PatrickDK: duh
[03:19:00] ruiner: what? like 4 ppl in this channel have told me to do that
[03:19:00] PatrickDK: that only works on the pvr cards
[03:19:00] PatrickDK: not framegrabbers
[03:19:00] ruiner: uuuuugh
[03:19:00] ruiner: lol
[03:20:00] ruiner: thank you, finally someone who knows something =P
[03:20:00] PatrickDK: ya, if you cat /dev/video0
[03:20:00] PatrickDK: it should output alot of crap
[03:20:00] ruiner: yeah
[03:20:00] PatrickDK: but nothing meaningful
[03:20:00] GreyFoxx: If you want to look at a framegrabber you use the tv://channel options for mplayer
[03:21:00] ruiner: could you give me the full syntax for that?
[03:21:00] GreyFoxx: no, but man mplayer would
[03:21:00] ruiner: k
[03:21:00] GreyFoxx: or read the mplayer docs
[03:21:00] GreyFoxx: It's been years since I last used a framegrabber in such away :)
[03:22:00] PatrickDK: only framegrabbers I'm using is webcams
[03:22:00] PatrickDK: have them setup as different channels
[03:22:00] GreyFoxx: my bttv cards are on a shelf
[03:22:00] ruiner: well...im poor lol
[03:23:00] PatrickDK: well, think of it this way, more powerfull cpu to encode, or very small price increase for pvr card
[03:23:00] PatrickDK: I think it's worth the money for the pvr, cause that is so much less $ for a cpu to do the same thing
[03:23:00] ruiner: well i got a more powerful cpu from a donation for free, but had to buy the card myself

[03:25:00] SarahEmm: true
[03:25:00] PatrickDK: but then, I don't care about captioning
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: what i should have said is:
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: myth with the PVR-xxx cards doesn't support captioning ;)
[03:25:00] PatrickDK: ya, I don't think myth supports pvr captioning at all
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: ivtv supports it for 250/350 and myth doesn't, and for 150/500 ivtv doesn't and myth doesn't
[03:25:00] PatrickDK: even if ivtv worked
[03:26:00] piksel: does anyone have any ideas on how you could lock the computer screen if the mythtv front-end crashes, or gets exited? I have mythtv running on a machine in my living room, accessible to my room-mates, and I just want to ensure that they can't mess with the machine at all, and can only use mythtv. (I know they could insert a knoppix cd if they wanted to mess with stuff, etc, but I just want a
[03:26:00] SarahEmm: PatrickDK: right. it does from bttv or any other software-encoders tho
[03:26:00] piksel: little security)
[03:26:00] SarahEmm: PatrickDK: which is why i'm looking at building a powerful box with 2–3 software encoded cards in it heh
[03:26:00] SarahEmm: piksel: i start ym myth at boot, if it gets exited you just get a console login prompt

[03:28:00] SarahEmm: yeah....
[03:28:00] SarahEmm: so i'm looking at needing multiple backends?
[03:28:00] PatrickDK: I have had one that did
[03:29:00] ruiner: mchou, i just want to be able to watch tv, someone in here told me to do that
[03:29:00] PatrickDK: but that was years ago
[03:29:00] ruiner: mchou, to test the card
[03:29:00] PatrickDK: yep
[03:29:00] PatrickDK: unless your not running at a full 720x480
[03:29:00] mchou: ruiner: tvtime or xawtv would be my preference :)
[03:29:00] PatrickDK: I'm not sure what mythtv sets it up in, but if you use yuv9 you can save space
[03:29:00] PatrickDK: but I think it does full output
[03:29:00] mchou: ruiner: easier to use an set inputs
[03:30:00] mchou: and*
[03:30:00] ruiner: mchou, do i need one of those to use mythtv?
[03:30:00] PatrickDK: you maybe able to do two cards, but that is the most
[03:30:00] SarahEmm: PatrickDK: hrm. i guess i'm looking at likely needing multiple boxes then =/

[03:30:00] mchou: ruiner: nope
[03:30:00] SarahEmm: that's not what i wanted to hear ;)

[03:32:00] mchou: ruiner: hehe, I get green screen too with mplayer, but not with tvtime/xawtv
[03:32:00] ruiner: mchou, ok...so i just need to get my mythsetup right then?
[03:32:00] mchou: ruiner: probably some command line issue for mplayer.....
[03:32:00] mchou: ruiner: no
[03:32:00] mchou: you need to make sure your tv card works first

[03:33:00] mchou: ruiner: which part of DONT NEED dont you understand??

[04:05:00] kevin__: probably.... i understand its pretty tough to get two different tuner cards working simultaneously
[04:05:00] kevin__: did you have any luck with the 350?
[04:06:00] fiveiron: especially with some card all Winfast 2000XP....
[04:06:00] fiveiron: that would seem to almost be a lost cause with linux
[04:06:00] kevin__: haha
[04:06:00] olorijn: I thought you needed two capture cards if you wanted to watch tv & record at the same time
[04:06:00] kevin__: thats correct
[04:06:00] kevin__: unless you're recording what you're watching at the same time
[04:07:00] kevin__: or you could watch an old recording whilst a new show is recording
[04:07:00] v_thunder: hmm, too bad 802.11b isn't quite enough to stream remotely
[04:07:00] v_thunder: it seems like it's *almost* fast enough
[04:07:00] kevin__: heh
[04:08:00] olorijn: whats the easiest distro / solution?
[04:08:00] v_thunder: would it help if I transcode to a mode compact format? (can I even do that?)
[04:08:00] kevin__: heres a brain buster..... I changed directories where myth records to. I got rid of 3 files from the old directory, but they still show up in the watch recordings menu. anyone done this before?
[04:08:00] v_thunder: olorijn: I used knoppmyth and it was reasonably easy
[04:09:00] kevin__: knoppmyth is supposed to be the easiest. I had great success with mandriva
[04:09:00] kevin__: v_thunder are you asking if you can transcode live TV to stream?
[04:09:00] v_thunder: oh, not live tv
[04:10:00] kevin__: heh.... i'd record, transcode, then ftp/ssh or something to remotely get them. whats your setup that you're working with?
[04:10:00] v_thunder: I mean, that would be sort of cool, but it sounds insane ;)
[04:10:00] kevin__: why not make a remote front end?
[04:10:00] kevin__: haha that'd be sweet
[04:10:00] v_thunder: that's what I'm using
[04:10:00] v_thunder: just a remote frontend
[04:10:00] kevin__: gotcha.... cool. backend and frontend in the same building?
[04:10:00] v_thunder: and recorded shows are as choppy as live tv
[04:11:00] v_thunder: yeah, backend is hooked up to the wireless ap
[04:11:00] v_thunder: (it's one of those linksys ap/100bT switches)

[04:12:00] v_thunder: it's not a huge surprise
[04:12:00] v_thunder: just wishful thinking on my part

[04:52:00] SarahEmm: i won't go on and on, but it's still a big functionality improvement aka :)
[04:52:00] SarahEmm: +k
[04:53:00] Akka: This is true but you would have to cahnge the channel via the cable box so telling it to record "ostriches" wouldnt work cause it wouldnt find all the channels

[04:57:00] fiveiron: in mythtv?
[04:57:00] fiveiron: or my os?
[04:59:00] Akka: what im getting at is using mythtv primarily. you really cant with the cable box from what ive seen so far. because mythtv cant decode the digital channels. thats what teh cable box is for. so hooking tehm all up in line like normally. meaning to record something on a digital channel would require you to change the channel on the cable box then start recording on mythtv. thats what ive seen so far.
[04:59:00] shiznix_ (i=legends@ppp209-36.lns1.adl2.internode.on.net) Quit (Success)
[04:59:00] Akka: that being the case then it is merely a vcr. but since you have to primarily use the cable box for tv viewing why use the mythtvs features like that?
[05:00:00] ShockValue: Akka: what if mythtv changed the chanels onthe box for you?
[05:00:00] GreyFoxx: You still are not making much sense.
[05:01:00] GreyFoxx: If you want Myth to record Digital cable stuff then it much be connected to the Digital box preferably with a method in place to changce channels
[05:01:00] Akka: Evidently ive seen morons use their myhtvs itll change the channels huh?
[05:01:00] GreyFoxx: Yes, If you set things up correctly
[05:01:00] ShockValue: My MythTV changes the channel on my DirecTV box. Im sure its capable of digital cable too
[05:02:00] ShockValue: I never touch my directv box. myth tells it what to do
[05:02:00] Akka: I see. I have thought about doing this myself, as in build a mythtv, but im just looking around and making sure it doesnt end up a pain in the ass like the ones ive seen
[05:02:00] Akka: plus im not the biggest linux guy either. i can use it but other than that im lost
[05:03:00] ShockValue: thats how i am.. but i like "projects".. which mythtv was.. but i got it working with some tinkering
[05:03:00] ShockValue: but all i really want is a 35 foot blue water worthy sailboat... and you can have my mythtv

[05:06:00] Akka: im not totally looking to spend money on this thing

[05:08:00] GreyFoxx: Akka: that should be fine
[05:10:00] Akka: how much would it run for decent capture cards and such. cause i havent really seen tutorials for the best performace Mythtvs
[05:11:00] GreyFoxx: well, the most popular by far are the pvr 250, 150 and 500 's by Hauppage
[05:11:00] GreyFoxx: then can run as low as $69USD for the 150 to $180 for the 500
[05:12:00] GreyFoxx: most people use the 250's and 150's.
[05:12:00] Akka: that isnt horribly bad.
[05:12:00] GreyFoxx: then have onboard mpeg compression so it uses no CPU to capture and compress the video
[05:12:00] Akka: i spent close to 800 on parts for a Mactel machine
[05:12:00] GreyFoxx: the cheap frame grabbers require gobs of CPU for realtime compression
[05:13:00] Akka: so i pretty much need one of those capture cards adn just a tv out card?

[06:30:00] Chipdancer: hehe
[06:30:00] Chipdancer: thanks... pity I want to dual boot this machine
[06:30:00] Chipdancer: most of what I'm recording is in SDTV format anyhow as I want to be able to playback from an XBox... but there are some shows that do come in HD and are an improvement over SD (so it appears)...
[06:30:00] Chipdancer: so it's not a major concern, but would be nice
[06:32:00] mchou: Chipdancer: huh???
[06:34:00] Chipdancer: the major reason I want to get the full HW acceleration working is to decode HDTV on this machine. it can decode SDTV (PAL/NTSC) no problems. The XBox only has capacity to decode SDTV (possibly lower res HDTV, but never tried). I record most of my material in SDTV (partly because I cannot decode it on any of my current hardware, partly because the XBox can only seem to do SDTV)
[06:34:00] mchou: xbox aint beefy enough for HDTV :)
[06:34:00] Chipdancer: no, P3–700 or something inside, I think.
[06:34:00] Chipdancer: and not enough work seems to have gone into drivers for the video hardware to get it to decode HD in HW.
[06:35:00] Krazylegz: 700mhz Celeron in an XBox.
[06:35:00] Chipdancer: I knew it was 700Mhz something
[06:35:00] Chipdancer: P3 class Celeron anyhow :P
[06:36:00] Krazylegz: Well, yeah, but it's still a Celeron.
[06:36:00] mchou: bah, a celeron aint so bad. some celerons are better than full blown P3s
[06:37:00] Chipdancer: mchou: why's that?
[06:37:00] Chipdancer: I don't see how it's possible
[06:38:00] mchou: I dont recallspecifically, but some celerons have some extra instruction set or some such thing.....

[06:49:00] NightBird: ah
[06:50:00] NightBird: I see

[06:58:00] Chipdancer: can pvr 150 transcode to full MPEG4 at HDTV/1080i?
[06:58:00] Krazylegz: PVR-150 can only encode to MPEG2 (MPEG-PS, specifically).
[06:58:00] Chipdancer: ahh, bummer.. that's DVB-T source format
[06:58:00] Krazylegz: Besides, a PVR-150 cannot take your HDTV signals anyway.
[06:59:00] Chipdancer: no, but if it could be passed data to transcode in hw from the bus/program
[06:59:00] Chipdancer: (instead from external input)

[06:59:00] Krazylegz: Yes.
[06:59:00] Chipdancer: ie, use the HW enc processor on the board to transcode data on HDD rather than just input stream from svideo/composite
[07:00:00] NightBird: huh
[07:00:00] Chipdancer: don't have a PVR150.. just curious if it could output MPEG4
[07:00:00] Chipdancer: or if anythign can output MPEG4...
[07:00:00] NightBird: ok, so I can use the video editing software instead, huh?
[07:00:00] Krazylegz: Nope.
[07:00:00] Chipdancer: if so, it'd be good to get a unit taht can transcode MPEG2 to MPEG4
[07:00:00] Krazylegz: Chipdancer: There are some MPEG4 encoder boards out there. The Hauppauge PVR-150 is not one of them.
[07:00:00] Chipdancer: otherwise I'll need to use lots of CPU time
[07:01:00] Krazylegz: Meh. I transcode MPEG2 to MPEG4, it doesn't take mythtranscode very long.
[07:01:00] Krazylegz: nuvexport is slow, or so I hear.
[07:01:00] Chipdancer: Krazylegz: what do you use, if not nuvexport?
[07:01:00] Chipdancer: oh, mythtranscode
[07:01:00] Krazylegz: mythtranscode.
[07:01:00] Chipdancer: yeah, sorry
[07:01:00] Chipdancer: what CPU?
[07:01:00] Chipdancer: my backend is only a dual P3–550 with 1Gb RAM
[07:02:00] Krazylegz: 2.26Ghz Celeron-D.
[07:02:00] Chipdancer: I assume you're getting similar quality levels?
[07:03:00] Krazylegz: Yes.
[07:03:00] Krazylegz: At least, I think so.
[07:03:00] Chipdancer: what is the space comparison like?
[07:03:00] Krazylegz: 1/4–1/8 the space.
[07:03:00] Chipdancer: MPEG2 seems to be ~3Gb/hour for PAL/SDTV
[07:03:00] Chipdancer: so, about 500Mb/hour?
[07:03:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, I'm about about 2–2.25GB/hour for MPEG2 NTSC.
[07:04:00] Chipdancer: have you tried MPEG4 1080i playback at all?
[07:05:00] Chipdancer: just curious if it will require more CPU than MPEG2 1080i or about the same...

[07:05:00] Chipdancer: ahh, bummer
[07:05:00] Chipdancer: can't do, or don't receive?
[07:05:00] Krazylegz: Both.
[07:06:00] Chipdancer: I guess a 2.26Ghz Cel-D probably can't.. :)
[07:06:00] Krazylegz: PVR-350, standard cable, 20" Sony Wega.
[07:06:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, it could.
[07:06:00] Krazylegz: I also only have 22GB of hard drive space for recordings.
[07:06:00] ** Chipdancer nods **
[07:07:00] Chipdancer: I just upgraded, now have about 700Gb for recordings
[07:07:00] Krazylegz: Nice.
[07:07:00] Chipdancer: (4x 250Gb SATA + AAR2410SA-ENC kit)
[07:07:00] Chipdancer: in RAID5
[07:07:00] Krazylegz: I need to get me one of those new fangled hard drives.
[07:07:00] ** Krazylegz is not as bling as Chipdancer **
[07:07:00] ** Chipdancer grins.. took over a year of negotiations with partner to get the kit **
[07:08:00] Chipdancer: I have 2 of those kits, one is the mythtv box the other is the backup/file server
[07:08:00] Chipdancer: both of them are each in their own Compaq DL1600R dual P3–550/1Gb RAM servers
[07:08:00] ** Chipdancer is very happy with the mythbox now... 3 DVB-T tuners and it runs really well as a backend **

[07:10:00] Krazylegz: If the house doesn't work out, I'll get a new hard drive and a motorcycle.
[07:15:00] Chipdancer: Krazylegz: what bike?
[07:19:00] Krazylegz: Suzuki SV650.
[07:19:00] Krazylegz: I just got my motorcycle license today.
[07:19:00] Chipdancer: nice bike
[07:19:00] Chipdancer: don't get yourself killed
[07:20:00] Chipdancer: lots of fun in that bike
[07:21:00] Krazylegz: I think it's less dangerous that other bikes.
[07:21:00] Krazylegz: At least, other bikes that I would consider.
[07:21:00] mchou: Krazylegz: get a bike anyways. Think of the money you save on gas :)
[07:21:00] Krazylegz: I work from home.
[07:22:00] Krazylegz: Hence, I'm on IRC at random times.
[07:23:00] mchou: heh, that saves even more gas :)
[07:23:00] Krazylegz: Yep.
[07:23:00] Krazylegz: I want to talk to the insurance company, and explain that my car is now used for pleasure, not commuting.
[07:24:00] Krazylegz: That should knock it down a few bucks. Also, if I get the house, it would go down anyway. Garaged, and in a better area.
[07:25:00] mchou: bah, sell the car, get the bike instead.
[07:25:00] Krazylegz: Heh. It's a 2000 Audi S4, and it will NOT be sold.

[07:32:00] Krazylegz: More, to be honest.
[07:32:00] mchou: exactly :)
[07:32:00] Krazylegz: The bike isn't going to be more reliable than a reliable car.
[07:33:00] mchou: huh???
[07:33:00] mchou: what breaks on a bike that you cant fix yourself? :)
[07:33:00] Krazylegz: A car that is more reliable than mine would still be more reliable than the motorcycle.

[07:34:00] sandos: no, sadly this is a windows machine, but imo 2,2Ghz cel-d should be able to play 1080i mpeg2 with no hw accel... I think
[07:35:00] sandos: this has no accel at all and generally seem to suck at playing video
[07:35:00] Chipdancer: the 1.7Ghz Celeron balks at HDTV
[07:36:00] Chipdancer: but I'm upgrading the CPU to a 2.8Ghz P4, so hopefully, regardless of HW accel, it should work

[09:45:00] KaZeR: Chipdancer, why?

[09:45:00] Krazylegz: I'll just get me a Jixxer.

[09:46:00] KaZeR: Chipdancer, i already drive one, and i found it was a good bike (although my experience is quite limited: :)
[09:46:00] rage-: what tables in the mythconverg database are used for the epg?
[09:46:00] KaZeR: Chipdancer, i think Krazylegz's sv650 is more dangerous, don't you agree?

[09:50:00] Krazylegz: How can you clean the mythconverg database? Does mythfilldatabase do it?
[09:51:00] rage-: Krazylegz, I can't get the epg to fill at all — does the epg basically work by finding the xmltvid number from the channel table, then looking to to the program table for the chanid that matches? or does the channel's table chanid need to match the program chanid?
[09:51:00] KaZeR: Krazylegz, old datas are erased by mlythfilldatabase.
[09:51:00] Krazylegz: KaZeR: That's what I thought. Thanks.
[09:51:00] KaZeR: np :)
[09:52:00] Krazylegz: rage-: I'd check the programs table first.
[09:52:00] rage-: well I've got listings in the programs table, lets say with chanid 5 for a row
[09:52:00] Krazylegz: Okay.
[09:52:00] rage-: I've then got a row in my channel table with a xmltvid of 5
[09:53:00] rage-: but the chanid is different
[09:53:00] Krazylegz: Oh.
[09:53:00] rage-: do the chanids need to match?

[09:55:00] Chipdancer: KaZeR: it might have been, but I really only paid attention to the FZ1 as I was considering it a couple of years ago

[10:58:00] ruiner: no, it doesnt work for live tv, or for recordings
[10:58:00] ruiner: but it does work for videod i already had on there
[10:58:00] ruiner: mpegs, etc
[10:59:00] KaZeR: does it works while playing what comes from /dev/video0? you have a pvr card, right?
[10:59:00] ruiner: its not a pvr, its a hauppauge wintv
[10:59:00] KaZeR: oh ok. no audio at all?
[11:00:00] ruiner: right
[11:00:00] KaZeR: bttv-audio?
[11:01:00] ruiner: is that a module? i have bttv, and tvaudio
[11:02:00] ruiner: oh, wait, maybe i explained this wrong
[11:02:00] KaZeR: and i'm not at my best, today :)
[11:02:00] ruiner: audio works if i unmute my line-in, and just listen to audio in realtime, but then its off sync from video
[11:02:00] ruiner: so i muted the line in and switched it to capture, like ti says in the myth docs
[11:02:00] ruiner: and also turned up the CAPTUR
[11:03:00] ruiner: and now i hear nothing
[11:03:00] ruiner: so- the card audio does work, i think im just doing something wrong on the myth end
[11:03:00] ruiner: does that make sense?
[11:03:00] KaZeR: it's normal that it's out of sync.
[11:04:00] ruiner: i know, but i want it to be in sync =)
[11:04:00] KaZeR: livetv functionnality is like 5 seconds behind broadcast, because of the buffer.
[11:04:00] KaZeR: so, if you watch live show on mythtv, and at the same time on the tv, it will always be some seconds behind

[11:04:00] ruiner: right
[11:05:00] KaZeR: so you hear live sound, but watch myth live.
[11:05:00] KaZeR: try raising the sound volume in your livetv profile
[11:05:00] KaZeR: it should be like 60% by default, put it at 98
[11:05:00] rage-: when you run mythfilldatabase --file, where does the "chanid" value that gets put into the program table come from? a different value is getting put in than is in my .xml file
[11:05:00] ruiner: i've tried
[11:06:00] ruiner: but in the mythbackend logs it says "NVR: Error, unknown audio codec"
[11:06:00] KaZeR: rage-, you're using epg right?
[11:06:00] KaZeR: ruiner, smth is wrong in you profile setting i guess
[11:06:00] KaZeR: or in your card setup
[11:07:00] KaZeR: have a look at the profile first
[11:07:00] ruiner: in mythsetup?
[11:07:00] rage-: using epg? I'm manually importing my program guide via an xml file
[11:07:00] KaZeR: ruiner, no, in frontend/settings
[11:08:00] KaZeR: rage-, i saw you talked earlier about epg, sorry :)

[11:15:00] rage-: the problem comes when I try to mythfilldatabase --file 0 -1 file.xml
[11:15:00] rage-: tv_grab_dvb -c file.conf rather
[11:15:00] KaZeR: rage-, please paste me that file in pm
[11:15:00] ruiner: ok
[11:16:00] rage-: anyway, tv_grab_dvb populates my file.xml with the correct channel numbers and all
[11:16:00] rage-: with <channel id="10"> and such
[11:16:00] KaZeR: rage, do you have some basic sql knowledge?
[11:16:00] rage-: yep
[11:16:00] KaZeR: rage-, did you set your channels xmltv ids?
[11:17:00] rage-: yup
[11:17:00] KaZeR: can you check them? with a select from channels, and paste some samples in PM ?
[11:19:00] ruiner: no luck... i dont think the problem is anything with volume though, when i first click "live tv" it gives me a warning that says "Unable to create audio output"
[11:19:00] KaZeR: ruiner, using gentoo?
[11:19:00] ruiner: yes

[11:22:00] ruiner: my audio was out of sync playing mpegs with mplayer earlier, i realized it was because mplayer needed oss and i had left it out

[15:33:00] KaZeR: fine :)
[15:33:00] KaZeR: just download, read if you want and run http://wwW.kazer.org/mythtv/mythcheck

[15:36:00] KaZeR: comments/idea/criticism welcome.
[15:36:00] KaZeR: i did that because i'm preparing a mythtv box for a friend who doesn't know anything about computers. so i'll have to check is backend status from time to time.

[15:39:00] KaZeR: mmm well i have to figure out how to find hostname from perl
[15:39:00] jhoke: quite nice! where is the index.php file that is needed to run this local?
[15:39:00] KaZeR: thanks guys :)
[15:40:00] KaZeR: jhoke, i'll propose it to download in a few minutes. i'm fixing this hostname thing first
[15:40:00] KaZeR: who has got hal.ifficek.org ?

[15:40:00] KaZeR: thanks :)
[15:40:00] otwin: hal.ifficek.org is me

[15:40:00] KaZeR: otwin, how many tuners do you have?
[15:40:00] laga: styx is me.
[15:41:00] jhoke: hmm... does anyone know of any scripts taht will output your current scheduled recordigns > rss
[15:41:00] otwin: 2 in the box, but only 1 setup for now.
[15:41:00] GreyFoxx: KaZeR: Going to pull a list of backends and probe then all? Or is it a hardcoded list ?
[15:42:00] KaZeR: laga, smth wrong with your "program guide left days" detection it seems
[15:42:00] KaZeR: GreyFoxx, i plan to read it from database
[15:42:00] KaZeR: otwin, ok. just because it's named #9
[15:42:00] jhoke: Some of this is in mythweb now tho' no? (w/out the graphics that is)
[15:43:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: He is parsing the same output that mythweb just puts up
[15:43:00] laga: KaZeR: probably because my mythweb says "Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2005-10–03 07:10 and ended on 2005-10–03 07:10. FAILED: xmltv returned error code 6400.
[15:43:00] laga: There's guide data until 2005-10–10 09:00 (7 days)."
[15:44:00] KaZeR: laga, since there is data up to 7 days, it should work. info is taken from this line :)
[15:44:00] jhoke: GreyFoxx: thats what I thought... I want to play with the status.php to make it also output RSS of everything there, primarily the "upcoming recordings" section
[15:45:00] laga: KaZeR: well, that's odd then
[15:46:00] KaZeR: laga, for sure.
[15:46:00] KaZeR: script should now autodetect the correct hostname
[15:47:00] laga: hehe
[15:47:00] KaZeR: (but not backend yet)
[15:47:00] KaZeR: laga, your hard disk space is erroneus too. would you mind re-dl and rerun?
[15:48:00] laga: KaZeR: not at all, give me a minue.
[15:48:00] laga: minute*
[15:48:00] KaZeR: np
[15:48:00] jhoke: nice
[15:49:00] KaZeR: ok still a ugly thing with multiples encoders.. fixing..
[15:49:00] jhoke: the only thing i would add is allowing the master BE to be set @ comman line with a switch so it does not need to be edited for each install
[15:50:00] KaZeR: yup :)
[15:50:00] jhoke: but I am diggin on this as I may be setting up a large number of BEs for a friend's company ... this would allow for a good quick overview of all their statuses
[15:51:00] laga: just release the php code for the website as well ;)

[15:57:00] KaZeR: jhoke, now if you don't specify an ip, it takes localhost as default (and warns you) otherwise use ./mythcheck <ip or hostname>
[15:57:00] jhoke: kazer: kewl ... regrabbing now
[15:57:00] KaZeR: fine :)
[15:58:00] Ryushin: Then I guess I will have to switch to svn then. Now from what I understand, it's possible to do updates using svn. How does that work?

[15:58:00] GreyFoxx: Rys: how does what work? the changing of the file name ?
[15:58:00] laga: KaZeR: of course
[15:59:00] Ryushin: Performing updates/upgrades using svn.
[15:59:00] jhoke: Nice! and now it shows both encoders :)
[16:00:00] KaZeR: jhoke, i'll polish this encoder thing
[16:00:00] laga: KaZeR: PM wont work because im not registered, i think.
[16:00:00] laga: KaZeR: -> pastebin
[16:00:00] jhoke: Ryushin: svn update, configure, qmake mythtv.pro; make; etc AFAIK

[16:01:00] KaZeR: laga, yep got it. ip looks wrong.
[16:01:00] laga: GreyFoxx: i think we now have a 'basename' column in the 'recorded' table.
[16:01:00] KaZeR: if your backend is local, just regrab latest and rerun

[20:44:00] poonj: xris: if I install decss, the menu to record dvds would come up?

[20:53:00] Rince: sorry
[20:53:00] Rince: should start at the beginning :)
[20:54:00] Rince: I try to make a nuvexport on my amd64-system (mythtv-0.18, nuvexport 0.2 0.20050723.cvs).

[20:55:00] Rince: this hasn't worked and I made a trouble-ticket on forevermore; Ticket 22 there.
[20:55:00] Rince: the hints sounded good and I tried them (not using yuvdenoise and other hints)
[20:56:00] Rince: one thing mentioned there is that mythtranscode is usually started with "-p autodetect" where it gets the data from the transcoding profiles
[20:56:00] Rince: how can I find out wether these are properly configured or not?
[20:56:00] jhoke: heyas
[20:57:00] Beirdo: Ummm, I don't think that you have to touch the settings in myth at all, we don't use them in nuvexport
[20:57:00] Rince: hm
[20:57:00] Ryushin: Beirdo: Hey, Kazan has been messaging me regarding his ban from this channel. He would like to be able to join the channel again.
[20:57:00] Beirdo: then he can apologize to the person who banned him, and convince said person that he should be unbanned
[20:57:00] jhoke: why'd he get banned ?
[20:57:00] jhoke: i forgot ;)
[20:57:00] GreyFoxx: anyone ever try using transcode on ampegts recording? I've got a couple I want to convert to xvid but transcode either doesn't like them or I am just not doing it right :)
[20:57:00] Rince: Beirdo: in Troubleticket 40 I showed the next debug-output. Unfortunately, then I hve no clue anymore how to debug further unfortunately...
[20:57:00] Beirdo: because he was pissing Chutt off with talking about illegal crap
[20:57:00] Ryushin: Because he was talking about DeCSS.
[20:57:00] Beirdo: and being a dick
[20:58:00] xris: Ryushin: no, because he was being REALLY annoying.
[20:58:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: He was banned for a couple minutes and it was removed as far asz I know.
[20:58:00] jhoke: thats right... now I remember... i had blocked it out ;)
[20:58:00] GreyFoxx: Ok, looks like it is still in place
[20:58:00] jhoke: lol
[20:58:00] Rince: :)
[20:58:00] Beirdo: ifho, he's banned
[20:58:00] Ryushin: K. I wasn't here so I don't know.
[20:58:00] Beirdo: if he wants back in, it's Chutt he has to convince first
[20:59:00] Beirdo: and I doubt that will happen
[20:59:00] jhoke: Beirdo, how is Umbutu working for you on your dev boxes? I am gonna use it i guess for my amd64 box
[20:59:00] Beirdo: and then he'll have to be on his absolutely best behavior if he gets back in
[20:59:00] jhoke: and buy us presents?
[20:59:00] jhoke: :)
[20:59:00] Ryushin: Beirdo: I told him.
[20:59:00] Beirdo: I use ubuntu on my dev box, but I haven't been doing much development (computer-wise) lately. More development love-life-wise
[21:00:00] Beirdo: it works pretty well though.
[21:00:00] Rince: good change :)
[21:00:00] ** Rince uses Ubuntu on his laptop... quite nicely **
[21:00:00] Beirdo: the good thing is, she's a geek-type too
[21:00:00] jhoke: Beirdo: Thanks.. looking for a good, stable, etc distro for AMD64 that is not gcc4 based
[21:00:00] Beirdo: but it's just too time consuming to do stuff at the same time as being with her :)
[21:01:00] jhoke: can't multitask yet?
[21:01:00] Beirdo: yeah ubuntu hoary works well for me in that regards
[21:01:00] jhoke: :)

[21:04:00] Rince: sure :)
[21:04:00] Chutt: heh
[21:04:00] Rince: anyway... beirdo, do you have any idea where or how I can debug that problem further?
[21:04:00] Beirdo: Chutt: Kazan trying to apologize for being a total ass yet? :)
[21:04:00] Chutt: nope.
[21:05:00] Beirdo: Rince: not sure. are you sure you have the command line args for ffmpeg in the same order as nuvexport?
[21:05:00] Beirdo: they may be in the wrong order
[21:06:00] Rince: Beirdo: well – I just made a copy and paste of the output...
[21:06:00] Beirdo: ahhh
[21:06:00] Beirdo: maybe it's how ffmpeg was built.
[21:06:00] Rince: hm?
[21:07:00] jhoke: heh.... perfect.. a woman who never was a judge, but ran the Texas Lotto for the Supreme Court... much like a horse judge running FEMA LOL.... we are SOOO screwed
[21:07:00] Beirdo: oh damn, real nice.... my ISP left in my old static IP's DNS records
[21:07:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: huh ?

[21:09:00] GreyFoxx: jhoke: Seriously? That's messed up
[21:09:00] jhoke: She is a lawyer... and no you technically dont have to be one
[21:09:00] jhoke: what do you expect from a guy who puts a horse judge in charge of FEMA :(
[21:09:00] Beirdo: jhoke: of course not, you just have to be a crony

[21:10:00] jhoke: no, her bio donor..er.. father wont allow us
[21:11:00] Beirdo: so adopt her?
[21:11:00] GreyFoxx: Still need his consent for that too :)
[21:11:00] jhoke: cant... he still has parental rights
[21:11:00] Beirdo: stupid bugger, let the poor girl have a life
[21:11:00] Beirdo: yeah, yeah
[21:11:00] Beirdo: maybe an anvil will drop on his head

[21:12:00] jhoke: as soon as our house is built we are heading to the mountains and getting outta NYC
[21:12:00] Beirdo: yeah, getting outta NYC is likely a plan
[21:12:00] Beirdo: "hey, fuck you!"
[21:12:00] Beirdo: hehe
[21:13:00] jhoke: Grey... I would never come btwn them ... she is like a daughter to me, so I want her to have that relationship... I grew up with one parent and well.. hated it

[21:16:00] ** Beirdo sighs **
[21:16:00] GreyFoxx: It confuses people cause I use the term "Dad" for both of them hehe
[21:16:00] GreyFoxx: but 99% of the time I mean my step father :)
[21:17:00] jhoke: heh
[21:17:00] Beirdo: Rince: I think the issue you are seeing likely is in ffmpeg itself
[21:17:00] jhoke: Beirdo: any gotchas to look for with Myth on Ubuntu?
[21:18:00] Rince: hm
[21:18:00] jhoke: (and are their any repo's I should know about for apt?)
[21:18:00] Beirdo: maybe they changed the command line in CVS
[21:18:00] Rince: jhoke: there are, yes
[21:18:00] Beirdo: jhoke: I don't run myth on the ubuntu machines yet

[21:19:00] Rince: Version: 3:20050427–0.2
[21:19:00] jhoke: Rince: Gotchas or Repos :)
[21:19:00] Ryushin: Question, why is talking about DeCSS frowned upon? I consider the DMCA to be just plain stupid. But when you buy something, should you be allowed to use it? I mean, I'm going to have the same problem with Blueray that we had with DVD's. If the MPAA is smart, they'll make a binary for unix that can allow you to play Blueray. But I'm sure that won't happen.
[21:19:00] Rince: Beirdo: which versino ffmpeg do you use, so I can just compile that one and try it?
[21:19:00] jhoke: I am installing 5.04 ... keeping back one rev so Ican keep gcc3
[21:20:00] Beirdo: ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4752, Copyright (c) 2000–2004 Fabrice Bellard
[21:20:00] Beirdo: I run FC1
[21:20:00] Rince: Beirdo: ok, I'll try to fetch that version...
[21:20:00] Beirdo: oh jeez, Ryushin.
[21:20:00] jhoke: here we go again
[21:21:00] Beirdo: you are cruising for a banning
[21:21:00] Beirdo: whether the DMCA is stupid or not is irrelevant. it is the law
[21:21:00] Ryushin: Okay, okay. I'll drop it. I just don't understand what the problem was.
[21:21:00] Beirdo: if you wanna change it, talk to the lawmakers

[21:22:00] GreyFoxx: Ryushin: In general we try to keep the open channel and "Mythtv" as clearly away from any subject that might catch tyhe attention of anyones lawyers
[21:22:00] Rince: and that's a good idea IMHO
[21:22:00] GreyFoxx: Hence no torrents, no decss, no asking how to hack satellite signals , etc
[21:22:00] Ryushin: yea, you're right.
[21:23:00] Beirdo: we don't need to make Isaac's life more difficult by attracting unwanted attention to stuff he has nothing to do with
[21:23:00] Ryushin: We don't want the lawyers to start looking at open source as bad.
[21:23:00] Beirdo: aye :)
[21:23:00] Rince: so lets just drop that subject :)
[21:23:00] Beirdo: yup :)
[21:23:00] Chutt: but, kazan wasn't banned for talking about decss
[21:24:00] Beirdo: true, that was just part of it
[21:24:00] xris: Chutt: exactly. and he can't seem to get that through his head.
[21:24:00] Chutt: i gave him a +q because he was being terribly annoying for the 5 or 6th time in a couple days
[21:24:00] Ryushin: Well, he does seem to have a bit of an ego.
[21:24:00] Chutt: then he started acting like a 3 year old
[21:24:00] Chutt: so i turned it into a real ban
[21:24:00] Beirdo: yup
[21:24:00] xris: I told him to cool off and play nice for a few weeks..
[21:24:00] Beirdo: and if he wants back in, he will need Chutt to unban him, I ain't gonna do it
[21:24:00] xris: and that no one but you (chutt) was going to undo the ban
[21:24:00] Beirdo: :)
[21:24:00] Chutt: note, he wasn't banned originally, he just couldn't talk in here
[21:25:00] Beirdo: true
[21:25:00] Chutt: and i had intended to remove that in a bit

[21:25:00] Beirdo: yeah, we're better off without that nonsense

[21:37:00] Beirdo: the whole job market took a shit, not just geekdom

[21:37:00] rjune: Beirdo: what fantasy world do you live in?
[21:37:00] jhoke: hey... I cant think of another field where I can make the $ I am making ... and all w/out any college
[21:38:00] Beirdo: rjune: what makes you say that?
[21:38:00] rjune: Beirdo: women like men that are able to take care of them, geekhood is irrelevant
[21:38:00] jhoke: has anyone seen this ubuntu/myth howto before? http://www.cs.rit.edu/~css8044/?q=mythtv

[21:39:00] ** xris agrees with Beirdo about the women. **
[21:39:00] rjune: xris: hey
[21:39:00] rjune: I had a question for you
[21:39:00] jhoke: as do I... but I think there are two kinds of geeks...
[21:39:00] xris: yeah. you never asked it.
[21:40:00] xris: well, unless it was just "are you there?"
[21:40:00] Beirdo: of course, it didn't hurt that the woman I love and who loves me... is also a bit geeky :)

[21:40:00] xris: oh, myth svn
[21:40:00] xris: not svn itself.
[21:40:00] xris: no clue
[21:40:00] jhoke: heh... I originally met my wife ovger 10 yrs ago when I was a singer and bartender in NYC... so she didnt know about my geekness till later LOL
[21:41:00] Beirdo: oooh, a hidden geek
[21:41:00] jhoke: nah.. she just didnt see cyberpunks as the same as geeks ;)
[21:41:00] jhoke: lol
[21:41:00] Beirdo: heh

[21:42:00] Beirdo: ?

[21:42:00] Beirdo: heh
[21:42:00] Beirdo: oh, fun
[21:42:00] xris: I *thought* my wife was a geek when we met.
[21:42:00] jhoke: rince, I am finding alot of things dont like amd64 :(
[21:42:00] xris: she's now a closet geek.
[21:42:00] Beirdo: xris: that's a shame, why is she hiding it?
[21:42:00] Beirdo: :)
[21:42:00] xris: jhoke: about amd64 specifically, or 64 bit in general?
[21:43:00] Rince: Beirdo: not really fun ...
[21:43:00] xris: Beirdo: no clue, there.
[21:43:00] jhoke: xris: yes (both)
[21:43:00] Rince: jhoke: hey, they are quite silent! :)
[21:43:00] Beirdo: Rince: I was being sarcastic, sorry
[21:43:00] rjune: xris: yeah myth svn
[21:43:00] xris: jhoke: anyway, I don't mess with any of that kind of stuff with myth, so I don't really even know what they are.
[21:43:00] Beirdo: so I guess it's a matter of trying a version that does 64-bit and doesn't crap out
[21:43:00] Rince: Beirdo: yes, I thought so... but I am still trying to figure out what goes wrong :)
[21:44:00] jhoke: Beirdo: Yes
[21:44:00] rjune: xris: I'm trying to figure out what mythburn can do
[21:44:00] Beirdo: until they stop breaking ffmpeg.
[21:44:00] Beirdo: heh
[21:44:00] Beirdo: which might be forever
[21:44:00] Beirdo: OMG
[21:45:00] Beirdo: and they gave someone else the static IP I used to have.
[21:45:00] Beirdo: so my old DNS entry is pointing at some other poor unsuspecting sap
[21:45:00] Beirdo: hehehe
[21:45:00] jhoke: the distros that seem to work best with amd64 appear to be the newer ones, and gcc4 based...breaking parts of nuvexport and other bits feh
[21:45:00] Beirdo: jhoke: ubuntu hoary
[21:45:00] Beirdo: silly
[21:45:00] jhoke: installling now
[21:45:00] jhoke: havent tested it yet, so I cant say it is good ... yet:)
[21:45:00] Beirdo: amd64 will break enough crap, you don't need gcc4 breaking the rest
[21:46:00] Beirdo: people with their lazy code
[21:46:00] jhoke: heh
[21:46:00] Beirdo: oooh, let's cast a pointer to a uint32 and back, that'll be safe.
[21:46:00] Beirdo: have fun with that on AMD64 or sparc...
[21:47:00] jhoke: heh!
[21:47:00] Beirdo: CRASH!

[23:40:00] knothead: I can fix both of these but if I exit to menu and watch live tv again the values go back
