[00:15:00] psofa: so noone knows the procedure to get a tvtuner installed on mythtv?i just need the steps incase i forgot something
[00:17:00] dev-: psofa: whenver i added new tuners to my boxes, twice, i just dropped the card in, ivtv saw it, went into mythtv-setup, assigned the input connection for it, and that was it
[00:17:00] dev-: fy, they were the same tuners
[00:18:00] dev-: 4x pvr 250's
[00:18:00] psofa: you are sick :D
[00:18:00] psofa: the tuner works fine with tvtime
[00:18:00] dev-: sick, maybe.. have a girlfriend that watches too much tv, definitely ;)
[00:19:00] psofa: lol
[00:19:00] dev-: at least now i always have a tuner free ;p
[00:19:00] dev-: did you go into mythtv-setup and into input-connections to do all that jazz?

[00:25:00] psofa: ?
[00:25:00] dev-: hrm
[00:25:00] psofa: should i do mythfilldatabase or something before going into the channels?
[00:25:00] dev-: only if this is a new backend you're setting up
[00:25:00] dev-: adding a second capture card, no its not needed
[00:25:00] psofa: consider it a new
[00:25:00] dev-: what happens if you load up mythfrontend and go into system status? does it show 2 encoders?
[00:26:00] psofa: ive removed the old capture card
[00:26:00] dev-: oh, yeah, if its new and you havent filled the database with guide info, yeah, you'd need to run mythfilldatabase
[00:27:00] psofa: but i dont want any guide info
[00:27:00] dev-: oh?
[00:27:00] psofa: it isnt available for my country

[00:38:00] psofa: oh
[00:38:00] dev-: ;\
[00:39:00] psofa: then maybe mythtv cant really scan for regular antenna tv channels?

[00:42:00] mofu: anyone using kernel 2.6.13 w/ Nvidia drivers?? I think I used this combo before, just wanted to double check, looks like 2.6.14 broke the Nvidia source compile

[00:43:00] dev-: Ginsu_Squirrel: my first guess would be in the playback setup menu under setup->tv settings
[00:44:00] Ginsu_Squirrel: omg i swear
[00:44:00] Ginsu_Squirrel: i looked there a million times
[00:44:00] dev-: mofu: 2.6.14 broke alot of things apparently.. i couldnt compile lirc with it because of some changes they made to algo_bit, had to revert to 2.6.13, but apparently they applied the patch to an -rX whatever, so now its ok..
[00:44:00] Ginsu_Squirrel: now i see it
[00:44:00] dev-: Ginsu_Squirrel: nice hehe
[00:44:00] mofu: dev-: thanks,
[00:44:00] dev-: mofu: but that box, useing a radeon9500, not nvidia..

[00:45:00] dev-: all my other boxes are useing 2.6.13 kernels, sorry..
[00:46:00] psofa: anyone with a regular antenna tv that knows if mythtv can autoscan the channels?
[00:46:00] webbnetsys: Anybody know how to make MythTV get on both the monitor AND tv??
[00:46:00] webbnetsys: I have a Haupage 350 w/ framebuffering running.
[00:46:00] Ginsu_Squirrel: psofa: i was having problems getting taht optino to enable... i had to start and quit the setup program a few times... it was wierd...
[00:46:00] webbnetsys: I finally got ivtv to be installed correctly.
[00:46:00] dev-: i dont think thats possible webbnetsys...
[00:47:00] webbnetsys: And now I can record from cable

[00:47:00] webbnetsys: And display it as well.
[00:47:00] dev-: since they're seperate devices.. you could have 2 x sessions with 2 mythfrontends running, but cloneing the display, no, i dont think so..
[00:47:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: You want to clone the X display?
[00:47:00] dev-: could be wrong..
[00:47:00] webbnetsys: Yes.
[00:47:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: Yes.

[00:47:00] dev-: Krazylegz: can you clone between 2 physically different cards?
[00:47:00] webbnetsys: But in the latest ivtv it doesn't include ivtvdev module.
[00:48:00] webbnetsys: So has ivtvdev been deprecated??
[00:48:00] dev-: with nvidia its np.. but ive never tried with different hwardware

[00:48:00] Krazylegz: dev-: I think so, yeah. Should be in the X config.
[00:48:00] Raven_301 (n=raven_30@Kitchener-HSE-ppp3574112.sympatico.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:48:00] Krazylegz: dev-: I tried to do it a few months ago. I didn't get it working, but I didn't try too hard.
[00:48:00] dev-: hehe
[00:49:00] webbnetsys: I think I have my xorg.conf files set up correctly but since the ivtvdev module isn't being loaded, I don't think it is working correctly.
[00:49:00] dev-: 2 x sessions and 2 mythfrontends is farely easy, but thats obviously not cloned
[00:49:00] webbnetsys: How do you guys have your systems setup??
[00:49:00] webbnetsys: One monitor in addition to the TV?? TV only?? what?
[00:50:00] webbnetsys: TV running on one session, monitor on another Xsession??
[00:50:00] dev-: i have 2 backends, 1 slave 1 master, 2 frontends connected directly to the tv, laptop that runs mythfrontend over 802.11g, and a gentoo desktop i run mythtv on (dual head)
[00:50:00] Krazylegz: Mine is TV-only.
[00:50:00] Ediehow: nuvexport's page died:O
[00:51:00] dev-: the boxes connected to the tvs are tv only
[00:51:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: So how does the MythTV get exported to the cards output??
[00:51:00] dev-: 1 ati (DIE DIE DIE DIE) and 1 nvidia

[00:51:00] webbnetsys: dev-: How is your xorg.conf set up?? Are you using frame buffering??
[00:52:00] dev-: dont use it, xsession starts up blackbox then mythfrontend
[00:52:00] xris: Ediehow: huh? thought I fixed it last night
[00:52:00] dev-: i have 4x 250's so the ati is one output, and an nvidia the other. dont have any 350's
[00:52:00] xris: odd, apache crashed
[00:52:00] Ediehow: ok, it works again
[00:53:00] Ediehow: can i get some rpms for nuvexport?
[00:53:00] webbnetsys: dev-: Huh?? xsession starts up. how is your TV hooked up then??
[00:53:00] Ediehow: You don't have permission to access /nuvexport/ on this server.
[00:53:00] dev-: svideo from a radeon9500, and svideo from a gf4 mx
[00:53:00] webbnetsys: I am still confused, don't you need to export out through your card??
[00:53:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: The TV is my only display.
[00:53:00] NightBird: hey, if you're useing a pvr-350's tv-out, would you still need a video card?
[00:53:00] webbnetsys: So your hooking up your TV as if it was a monitor through Svideo.
[00:54:00] dev-: webbnetsys: yes
[00:54:00] webbnetsys: I just have a cheezy video card. How can I get it working then.
[00:54:00] psofa: anybody that knows if mythtv is capable of scanning for regular antenna tv channels or do i have to manually insert them?
[00:54:00] xris: blech... guess I never got trac back up and running again
[00:54:00] webbnetsys: Can't I export the extire Xsession through the 350 Svideo??
[00:54:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: Well, I use what is basically an ATI 9100 tvout.
[00:55:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: Are you using a single video card to export, then??
[00:55:00] webbnetsys: It has an SVideo on there??
[00:55:00] xris: webbnetsys: pretty sure the 350 only works with mpeg data
[00:55:00] xris: needs all kinds of wrappers to get it working properly
[00:55:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: Yes. No SVideo, just composite.
[00:55:00] webbnetsys: xris: I am forcing it to go through there.
[00:56:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: composite is the coax cable correct?? That is where my cable connection is coming in on the Haupage card.
[00:56:00] webbnetsys: The ONLY SVideo is on the Haupage as well.
[00:56:00] dev-: composite is red/green/blue
[00:56:00] webbnetsys: The ONLY monitor connection is on my cheezy video card. Only has videe for monitor.
[00:57:00] webbnetsys: red/green/blue?? I don't see anything like that on the back.
[00:57:00] Ediehow: https://svn.forevermore.net/nuvexport/
[00:57:00] Ediehow: won't work
[00:57:00] dev-: he's useing a different video card then you
[00:57:00] webbnetsys: Theire is one connection that allows you go to SVideo or VGA cables.
[00:57:00] xris: Ediehow: I know. I upgraded the machine yesterday and something f'd up and wiped the drive by accident.. I forgot to reinstall trac
[00:57:00] Ediehow: oh ok
[00:57:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: I am NOT using the PVR-350 output.
[00:58:00] webbnetsys: I currently have it hooked up going through the VGA cables.
[00:58:00] xris: I should say... ubuntu erased the partition even when it said it wouldn't
[00:58:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: So your just using another video card to go to your TV? If that is the case, how do you get the audio go go over as well??
[00:59:00] xris: blech. now I need to figure out how to convert sqlite2 to sqlite3 database
[00:59:00] dev-: webbnetsys: what would video have to do with audio? still comes out your soundcard regardless of how you ouput video..
[00:59:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: and if you are using the other video card to show your video stuff, isn't it slower??
[00:59:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: Yes, another video card. I get the audio to go through the sound card.
[00:59:00] weizur (n=weizur@cpe-66-69-234-125.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:00:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: It is slower for MPEG2 content because the PVR-350 has a hardware decoder. However, for everything else it is faster and more flexible, and easier to setup.
[01:00:00] webbnetsys: dev-: Showing the recordings, the sound and video are currently going through the Haupage 350. And I can hear the audio through the TV.
[01:00:00] poop: --enable-xvmc-pro enable XvMC for the unichrome pro (NOT unichrome) chipset
[01:00:00] poop: Hey, I have one of those on-board
[01:00:00] poop: Of course I had to disable it because the drivers didn't work

[01:01:00] dev-: webbnetsys: oh, didnt know the 350 had audio out on it..
[01:01:00] webbnetsys: Crap, so what is a good cheap video card that I can get that has the VGA out.
[01:01:00] webbnetsys: dev-: It has the VGA cables that provides it.
[01:02:00] webbnetsys: dev-: so I am wanting ALL the video/audio to go out through it. Currenly, I can watch TV, and watch recordings. But the MythTV screen is still on the monitor.
[01:03:00] dev-: webbnetsys: look into x session cloning, if it can be done, you should be able to find a writeup on it
[01:03:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: So you don't have any problems with the audio lining up with the video then?? What sound daemon are you using??
[01:03:00] xris: Ediehow: fixed
[01:03:00] Ediehow: thx
[01:03:00] webbnetsys: I would prefer to use ALSA. I hope that is what should be on there.
[01:04:00] Ediehow: nuvexport-0.2–0.20051118.svn.src.rpm 18-Nov is that recent?
[01:04:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: No, no problems with audio video sync.
[01:07:00] xris: http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport — that's the latest
[01:08:00] Krazylegz: webbnetsys: Yes, I use alsa.
[01:10:00] webbnetsys: dev-: The problem with Xsession cloning is that the latest driver module that is supposed to come with ivtv doesn't
[01:10:00] psofa: i found that .http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tv.xmltv.devel/5575 how do i execute the script?
[01:11:00] webbnetsys: dev-: It is ivtvdev?? It is supposed to be loaded at boottime in the xorg.conf file
[01:11:00] webbnetsys: Krazylegz: what version of ivtv are you using?? 4.0??
[01:12:00] Krazylegz: 0.1.9.
[01:12:00] Krazylegz: It doesn't matter though, since I only use the input side of the PVR-350.

[03:38:00] a1fa|64: what code?
[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: various, nothin massive other than the mythgame changes
[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: sprinkles here and there
[03:39:00] a1fa|64: i havent looked at svn.. is this written in C?
[03:39:00] eidolon: hmm. hey, if i'm running knoppmyth (i am), if i go to SVN, am i goign to need to do kernel / driver updates? or are they seperate? i wouldn't mind having my knoppmyth back end and mfe, and a seperate 'svn build' back end and mfe.
[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: that reminds me, I gotta run through and make sure everything still compiles and runs under OpenBSD
[03:39:00] eidolon: i'd hate to destroy my running machine
[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: a1fa: c++
[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: except for the libavcodec stuff
[03:40:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: what gui lib is it using?
[03:40:00] GreyFoxx: qt
[03:40:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: i wonder how hard would it be to add mouse support with qt
[03:40:00] GreyFoxx: qt has mouse support
[03:40:00] GreyFoxx: myth doesn't take advantage of it in any of the widgets or classes
[03:41:00] a1fa|64: yeah, but how hard would it be to add it with myth
[03:41:00] GreyFoxx: try and find out ?:)
[03:41:00] a1fa|64: dont know nothing about qt
[03:41:00] ** eidolon svn updates. **

[03:41:00] a1fa|64: hey GreyFoxx, is the sql password automatically generated or is it same for everybody?
[03:42:00] GreyFoxx: default is 'mythtv' which is contained in mc.sql
[03:42:00] GreyFoxx: so it will be that unless you change it

[03:46:00] GreyFoxx: If your itch happens to be a new feature then do it
[03:46:00] a1fa|64: new features go via tickets, right?
[03:46:00] eidolon: hmm.
[03:46:00] eidolon: can 'make install' be targeted into a 'work' binary dir structure?
[03:46:00] GreyFoxx: tickets are for bug reports and submitted patches

[03:52:00] dgilmore: it was working before update
[03:52:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: will this get merged you think?
[03:52:00] eidolon: if you're tracking mythweb, xris is in the middle of doing some -major- overhauling htere.
[03:52:00] GreyFoxx: No idea, I haven't looked
[03:53:00] Krazylegz: eidolon: Define "in the middle of." :-)
[03:53:00] eidolon: well, last i talked with him it was "Don't start coding on mythweb until i finish this core change" – that was about 2 weeks ago.
[03:54:00] eidolon: i'm just now doing an svn build cuz i need to start coding.
[03:54:00] Darby (n=chatzill@c-67-173-185-166.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:54:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, he said that to me a few months ago.
[03:54:00] eidolon: heh
[03:54:00] Krazylegz: He's been busy, and he got hurt too.
[03:54:00] eidolon: oh?
[03:54:00] eidolon: i didn't hear that.
[03:54:00] Krazylegz: Shoulder, I think.
[03:54:00] eidolon: mythweb is -not- that complicated. i could fork it i suppose.
[03:55:00] eidolon: but it seriously needs some major work :(
[03:55:00] eidolon: ad i don't mind doing it :)
[03:55:00] ** eidolon half-thinks in php. :-/ **
[03:55:00] Krazylegz: I was going to help too.
[03:55:00] ** eidolon nods. **
[03:55:00] Krazylegz: I just figured I would wait until xris was done with his huge API update.
[03:55:00] eidolon: well, if i get this svn build working, i'm going tos tart poking at it.
[03:55:00] ** eidolon nods. **
[03:55:00] Krazylegz: Though, I wonder why he doesn't want help with that.
[03:56:00] eidolon: hey, it's his baby :)
[03:56:00] xris: eidolon: you offered to redo the music stuff, right? I'm all for that
[03:56:00] eidolon: DOH!
[03:56:00] eidolon: there he is :)
[03:56:00] Krazylegz: Heh.
[03:56:00] eidolon: yah, mythmusic.
[03:56:00] Krazylegz: Speak of the devil.
[03:56:00] eidolon: but you said you were doing a bunch of core changes...
[03:56:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: how is that theme comming along?
[03:56:00] eidolon: so i didn't start digging into it yet.
[03:56:00] xris: yeah, but for now that just means moving stuff to the new mod_rewrite format.
[03:57:00] ** eidolon nods. **
[03:57:00] eidolon: okay... which really shouldn't affect hax0ring on ti now.
[03:57:00] xris: moving the music stuff would be easy enough at the same time as rewriting it.
[03:57:00] eidolon: i just may have to change GET paths.
[03:57:00] xris: right now it works as the old way and the new way... for the most part.
[03:57:00] eidolon: heh.
[03:57:00] GreyFoxx: got the edit most stuff done on my vmware session, just haven't put it up for testing yet
[03:57:00] eidolon: is the 'new way' in svn?
[03:57:00] xris: Krazylegz: as for "hurt"... tendonitis. makes typing not-fun.

[03:57:00] eidolon: i spent a lot of money on ergonomics to make it psosible to code for 10–12 hours a day :(
[03:58:00] GreyFoxx: plus I think there was an additional osd program info screen added to svn which I wanna make sure I add
[03:58:00] eidolon: xris: okay. i'll work on this build, and see what i can see. i'll probably be on #mythtv in the next day or three if i can get this going.
[03:58:00] eidolon: i'm nervous about jumping from knoppmyth to svn... trying to figture out if i can 'parallel' it.
[03:58:00] xris: eidolon: I need to lower my desk at home by about 4 inches... but that requires dismantling my office.
[03:58:00] eidolon: the potential for shattering the entire system is high :)
[03:58:00] Darby: Hey all, I'm having a bit of a brainfart that hopefully somebody could give me a little smack upside the head to clear up. Just a problem getting mythweb authentication working. It works great on the other 4 installs I have working which is why I'm pretty sure it's a PEBKAC error ;-)
[03:59:00] xris: Darby: what error?
[03:59:00] eidolon: xris: *nod* well, i did 3 things. 1) got an aeron chair. they're expensive, but they're -awesome- ergonomically. 2) get a keyboard shaped right (for soem reason the microsoft '4000' ergo kb is really good. i don't know what they did :), and 3) i have a nice monitor stand.
[03:59:00] Darby: well, it doesn''t authenticate. When it seems to be set up perfectly, it just hangs
[04:00:00] xris: eidolon: would love aeron.. but well, expensive (I have a nice one from ikea for now) and I prefer high-back... looking for a better keyboard, though.
[04:00:00] eidolon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/planet-geek/65385905/ <-- my desk, when i was tinkering with 'transparent video' ;)
[04:01:00] jonK: I love my aeron chair
[04:01:00] a1fa|64: whats that
[04:01:00] Darby: xris: no error messages
[04:01:00] eidolon: it's a chair. called an aeron. stop me if i get too technical.
[04:01:00] Nem^ (n=Nem@p54ABEBDB.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users

[04:02:00] eidolon: heh
[04:02:00] xris: Darby: hard to help you without more information.
[04:02:00] a1fa|64: ah
[04:02:00] a1fa|64: its too dark to tell
[04:02:00] a1fa|64: :p
[04:02:00] xris: eidolon: coworker of mine got a bunch of them for like $50 apiece during the dotcom bust.
[04:02:00] xris: wish I had known him back then
[04:02:00] eidolon: yeah, there was a lot of that.
[04:02:00] eidolon: i paid $600 for mine. which was still a bargain (mine is a size C. i'm not a small guy :)
[04:02:00] Darby: xris: I know :-(
[04:03:00] eidolon: but i was hurting after only 3–4 hours of work. needed to do something.
[04:03:00] eidolon: the fold-in armwrests rock :)
[04:03:00] a1fa|64: suckz :P
[04:03:00] a1fa|64: too expensive.. you could've bought a glock17 9mm with 33 bullet clip
[04:03:00] eidolon: that would have helped my RSI, yup.
[04:04:00] weizur: we had them at my last job but they were all size A which is for like 120 lb or less guys
[04:04:00] a1fa|64: and 200 bullets
[04:04:00] weizur: they're overrated
[04:04:00] Darby: xris: what's the site to link to to show my config info as not to flood the channel?
[04:04:00] xris: sixapart just bought them for all of the livejournal people.

[04:04:00] eidolon: i have a friend who works for 6a.
[04:04:00] eidolon: (she already has an aeron :)
[04:04:00] xris: eidolon: 15" powerbooks, aerons all around.
[04:04:00] eidolon: rockin.
[04:05:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: please fight for this mouse support.. hopefully it works
[04:05:00] a1fa|64: anybody using svn daring to test this mouse support?
[04:05:00] xris: and after the colo move for livejournal, a week-long cruise to those who helped (one of my best friends is an SA for lj)
[04:05:00] GreyFoxx: a1fa: I don't care about mouse support :) If it's there fine, if not then it wont affect me :)
[04:05:00] eidolon: excellent.
[04:05:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: touch-screen dude..
[04:05:00] eidolon: yah, i have no interest in mouse support either. i use joystickmenu
[04:06:00] GreyFoxx: a1fa: Still not a major push for me :)
[04:06:00] a1fa|64: GreyFoxx: i have that little pos
[04:06:00] ** xris wonders how crappy a touchscreen would loon on top of his tv. **
[04:06:00] simcop2387: where would be a good place to go to learn how to write a plugin for mythtv?
[04:06:00] xris: s/loon/look/
[04:06:00] a1fa|64: hehe, think of me as a lobbyst
[04:06:00] eidolon: i still want to write a client-app to talk to mfe remotely.
[04:06:00] xris: simcop2387: unfortunately, I think the answer is "the code"
[04:06:00] a1fa|64: lobbyist
[04:06:00] eidolon: so you can have a desktop app / webpage / ajax app / wahtever that i can run on the laptop that'll control the mfe being displayed *points* over there.
[04:06:00] simcop2387: xris: any plugins that are simplest to learn from?
[04:07:00] xris: eidolon: that's the whole point of mfe (actually mfd, if I recall)
[04:07:00] eidolon: well, no, not really.
[04:07:00] xris: simcop2387: since I don't know C++ very well, mythweb was easiest for me.
[04:07:00] eidolon: mfd, yes.
[04:07:00] xris: though it's more of a second frontend rather than a plugin.
[04:07:00] eidolon: mfe is coupled with the display system.
[04:07:00] simcop2387: xris: ah i need a frontend plugin
[04:07:00] eidolon: i want my 'controller' not to display the video stream.
[04:07:00] eidolon: i want it to control the video stream being displayed elsewhere.
[04:07:00] a1fa|64: how does joystickmenu work
[04:08:00] eidolon: think of a 7" touchscreen lcd next to you on the couch that shows current channel, schedule, other controls... but the big HDTV is on the other side of the room.
[04:08:00] simcop2387: eidolon: nice
[04:08:00] xris: eidolon: anyway, if you want to play with music code in mythweb, just let me know. I've been looking for someone to take over that part for ages (I don't use mythmusic, so it's hard to get up the energy to poke at it)
[04:08:00] eidolon: i'll defiantely do it.
[04:08:00] eidolon: i'm building svn now so i can.
[04:09:00] xris: anyway, I'm shutting down for the night.. later.

[04:27:00] Krazylegz: You can try putting the auth directives into httpd.conf and see if that fixes it.
[04:27:00] Hal: Darby: presume you restarted apache since you editted httpd.conf?
[04:27:00] Darby: I've done it both ways, and I did restart it
[04:29:00] Darby: One difference between the 2 machines I'm looking at is that one has httpd.conf and one has apache2.conf + commonapache2.conf
[04:29:00] Darby: presumably it was a gentoo change between releases
[04:29:00] Krazylegz: My setup is like that, but I don't have any problems with auth.
[04:30:00] Darby: I don't either except in this case. That's why I figured I was just being reatrded on something simple

[04:31:00] Krazylegz: Darby: Are you overridding anywhere else?
[04:32:00] Krazylegz: You could try pasting your whole httpd.conf.
[04:32:00] Krazylegz: Er, apache2.conf and commonapache2.conf.
[04:32:00] Hal: Another stupid question: you have the loadmodules lines for the authentication modules in httpd.conf?
[04:33:00] Hal: would expect an error if not, but never tried
[04:33:00] Darby: Hal: Yeah, they're all loaded by default
[04:34:00] Darby: Krazylegz: it's the httpd.conf one that doesn't work
[04:34:00] Hal: Darby: I'm out of ideas. I declare it working.
[04:35:00] Darby: Hal: w00t!. Now ifonly the machine would believe you as much as I want to ;-)
[04:36:00] Krazylegz: Hal: I don't have any LoadModule lines for authentication. It may have been compiled into this distro's binary?

[06:36:00] Juski: that was unworkable
[06:36:00] Juski: channel up & down... volume up & down.. put that tape in.. rewind it.. that's all they know
[06:37:00] netrix: funny, i just came home from my parents house and was setting up their home theature and fishing cat5 for the computer.
[06:37:00] Darby: netrix: remote only hopefully. keyboard's plugged in just in case
[06:37:00] netrix: Darby: using the hauppage remote?
[06:37:00] Kichigai: Can I get any help with my tuner?
[06:38:00] Darby: netrix: yes, works pretty well. I haven't actually figured out how to get it to start the front end if that dies though
[06:38:00] Juski: I showed my Dad the other week when he was down here. "looks like a lot of hassle" he said. I was like "eh? compared to finding a blank part on a VHS tape, remembering to set the timer,, then managing to _find_ the recording from last week, you mean?"
[06:39:00] netrix: Juski: just tell him it's generational.
[06:39:00] Juski: I think he's just blinded by the stunning amount it can do ;)
[06:39:00] Juski: Kichigai: Brooktree cards aren't worth bothering with in this day & age
[06:39:00] Kichigai: Juski, All I need to do is figure out why the thing won't tune.
[06:40:00] netrix: i thought about setting one up for my parents. i wanted to get them a pvr last year and the selection here in canada is slim pickins.
[06:40:00] Kichigai: I've already sunk more money into my MythBox than I planned to, I'd rather not go out and spend more money on hardware and make due with what I've got.
[06:40:00] Kichigai: I deinfately plan to make a better Mythbox later, when I have more money, though.
[06:40:00] Juski: Kichigai: ok... have you set up the frequencies of the channels in the channel editor?
[06:41:00] Kichigai: I've set up the Zap2It channel information and filled the database if that's what you mean.

[06:42:00] Kichigai: lol
[06:42:00] Kichigai: Anyway, ideas on how to fix my tuner woes?
[06:42:00] netrix: Darby: nope. it will be Shaw Cable in Vancouver I think. very straight forward.
[06:42:00] Juski: Kichigai: I've no experience with Zap2It
[06:42:00] Kichigai: I meant I have the information for the EPG downloaded.
[06:43:00] Kichigai: Is that what you meant, or do you mean I'm going to have to tweak all this manually/
[06:43:00] Kichigai: ?
[06:43:00] Juski: I think Zap2It also inserts the frequency data for channels too – not sure though
[06:43:00] poop: weird, using the XvMC decoder in svn just gives me hiccups from a ton of "WriteAudio: buffer underrun"
[06:43:00] netrix: Darby: your like a MythTV consultant, fly you all over north america to build myth boxes.
[06:44:00] Darby: netrix: cool. I actually have an interview at the bro in law's company. not sure if I want to live in an igloo ;-) but he says the sushi is great and cheap
[06:44:00] Juski: netrix: there's a series in that somewhere... Mythtv Man doing battle with his evil nemesis Gill Bates every week
[06:44:00] Kichigai: Juski, well, I've retreived my lineups, but it hasn't changed anything yet.
[06:45:00] Darby: netrix: honestly there's a possibility I might end up doing a seminar at the P in laws company. He's talking it up big since he's started playing with it
[06:45:00] netrix: Darby: vancouver is nice man. doesn't snow, beautiful place to live.
[06:45:00] Juski: Kichigai: look in the channel setup pages of mythtv-setup. If any channels have Frequency IDs I'd have said you were good to go (so long as they're the right IDs).. unless of course you're not using the tuner on the card (with a cable box maybe)
[06:46:00] netrix: Darby: if i didn't live in Toronto, then Vancouver would be next.
[06:46:00] netrix: or Montreal.
[06:46:00] Darby: netrix: I'm from San Diego, and live in Chicago. Chicago is awesome but I whine like a litle bitch come winter ;-)
[06:46:00] Juski: I was thinking Canada might be a nice place to live, til I started reading about them going mad with Political correctness like we are here
[06:46:00] netrix: Darby: heh... ok that makes sense.
[06:47:00] Kichigai: Juski, The channels have numbers, if that's what you mean, but all advanced options are grayed out.
[06:47:00] netrix: Juski: to escape that you need to leave north america.
[06:47:00] netrix: Juski: i'm sure people are saying "Seasons Greetings" down there too now.
[06:47:00] Juski: netrix: we have 'happy holidays' now :-/
[06:48:00] netrix: Juski: same sh-t, different flies. =)
[06:49:00] Darby: if political correctness is getting you down, call virgin mobiles Chrismahanukwanzakah Help Line at 888-353–7667
[06:49:00] Kichigai: It's all set up, complete with frequency IDs.
[06:49:00] Kichigai: I know I can tune this stuff since I just hooked my TV up.

[06:50:00] Darby: it's actually real and funnier than just that
[06:50:00] netrix: kickigai: maybe your tuner type is set incorrectly?
[06:50:00] Kichigai: NTSC
[06:50:00] Kichigai: I've tried us-cable, us-bcast, and us-cable-hrc
[06:50:00] Kichigai: None have changed my situation in the slightest.
[06:50:00] Kichigai: Same garbled output.
[06:50:00] Juski: Kichigai: have you tested the tuner outside of mythtv?
[06:51:00] netrix: kickigai: no i mean the option you pass the driver to tell it what kind of tuner your have.
[06:51:00] netrix: Juski: good point.

[06:51:00] Kichigai: Juski, I used to use it on another computer, and it seemed to work fine then.
[06:51:00] Juski: bttv has lots of different tuner type options – which one you need depends on which card you have
[06:51:00] Juski: Kichigai: yes, but was that on a Linux computer?
[06:52:00] Kichigai: It was running Debian with kernel 2.6.5 and 2.4.20
[06:52:00] Juski: whether it works or not is not in question (yet)
[06:52:00] Kichigai: Both had no problems.
[06:52:00] Kichigai: using V4L
[06:52:00] Juski: sometimes bttv can't autodetect the tuner
[06:52:00] Juski: infact in my experience.. most times it can't autodetect it
[06:53:00] Juski: so you have to set it yourself
[06:53:00] Kichigai: Hmm.
[06:53:00] Juski: get it working in tvtime, then it follows that it _should_ work in mythtv
[06:53:00] netrix: Juski: mine too, i had to set it with all the bttv cards i had.
[06:54:00] netrix: Darby: you got me thinking of maybe using this pvr350 to build my parents a mythtv box for xmas. hmmm.
[06:54:00] Juski: you can get some good hints on what the tuner is by looking at the metal can.. that at least gives you the manufacturer name usually
[06:55:00] Kichigai: Ohhh damn it.
[06:55:00] Kichigai: tvtime doesn't want to run at all on my MythBox
[06:55:00] Juski: netrix: with a PVR350 can you still play divx/xvid etc? (but without hardware assisted decoding, obviously)
[06:56:00] Darby: netrix: it would make a great present as long as you have ssh acsess just in case ;-)
[06:56:00] Kichigai: Apparently my XVideo port doesn't support YUV2 overlays.
[06:56:00] Juski: Kichigai: #1 rule of hardware with mythtv.. check it works in other programs before starting out with mythtv ;)
[06:57:00] netrix: Juski: i don't see why not, never tried it tho. i betcha the D man would know tho....
[06:57:00] Kichigai: What about mplayer?
[06:58:00] netrix: Darby: so can it?
[06:58:00] Darby: you can play all of that, on my main box I have to change the receiver (different component) to get the sound and have a seperate output from the sound card
[06:58:00] Juski: I think xine works with analogue tuners
[06:58:00] Darby: from all the frontends it works seemlessly
[06:59:00] Darby: main box being the onr that outputs to the tv that is
[06:59:00] Juski: I've got my EPIA M10k able to play xvid & divx.. which is nice
[07:03:00] Darby: has anybody noticed issues with JFS after a powerout?
[07:03:00] Juski: looking fwd to the time when there are good linux drivers for the new Via EPIA baby... the HDTV capable mpeg4 decoder .. when we get HD over here it'll be mpeg4 for sure
[07:03:00] Juski: Darby: I've heard tales of serious FS corruption
[07:04:00] Darby: I've seen on several occasions where I have to manually fsck it to get it to mount
[07:04:00] Juski: Darby: same with XFS.. the old "I had a powerout, and fsck hasn't worked" line
[07:04:00] Darby: nothing's died yet
[07:04:00] Juski: Darby: time to get a UPS ;)
[07:05:00] Darby: hmm... I was hoping switching to XFS would help
[07:05:00] Darby: Yeah, *i* have a UPS, but it gets expensive to include them with presents ;-)
[07:05:00] Juski: I'd have thought they'd all be more robust than that though.. like maybe you'd just lose some changes
[07:06:00] Darby: Me too. I haven't lost anything AFAIK, but it's annoying

[07:08:00] Darby: Yeah, it was only since I started with Myth that I even used JFS and ony because I read it was good with big files. ext3 and resiserfs have worked great. Heck, even ext2 has a better record for me in that respect
[07:10:00] Darby: the whole rest of the system comes up fine, just the JFS partitions don't mount :-(
[07:11:00] Juski: I've been noted before as saying I don't know what all the fuss is about the time it takes to delete a large file on ext3
[07:12:00] Darby: well, I haven't actually tried it in a while. reiser is notoriously good at tlots of small files and notoriously bad at big files
[07:12:00] Darby: maybe ext3 will do the trick
[07:13:00] cosmo_: Darby, what distributon are you using?

[07:13:00] Juski: I still can't get over the fact we Linux users never need to defrag :D

[07:13:00] Darby: lol
[07:13:00] cosmo_: sweet, I havent been hear for the conversation, but is JFS stable or unstable for you/
[07:14:00] Darby: works like a charm until the power goes out
[07:14:00] cosmo_: Juski: thats because linux doesn't have a disk fragmentation deamon
[07:14:00] Darby: then it won't mount until you manually run fsck
[07:14:00] cosmo_: Darby: so the data is lost?
[07:14:00] Juski: Kichigai: ivtv, and that'll be about it

[07:16:00] Juski: I might've known this was a knottmyth system, Kichigai
[07:16:00] cosmo_: Darby, How notoriously bad is resier for deleting these large files. I like my resiser, but Ive got a fresh system here, so I have the opportuinity to switch to JFS without too much trouble, I didn't start with it simply because the gentoo handbook claims it to be untested.
[07:16:00] Darby: cosmo: it's entirely possible that I'm just missing the right mount options
[07:17:00] Juski: from now on when I see the letters k n o p p in that sequence I go to sleep ;)
[07:17:00] Juski: fair play to the makers of knoppmyth, but people treat it as some kind of 'magic bullet'
[07:18:00] Darby: cosmo: I've really only seen it when the aforementioned jfs issues happen. so /video (where I have it mounted) is actually writing to / and I have to delete the file. It takes a lot longer. I was worried I hung up the system for a while.
[07:19:00] Darby: cosmo: I can't really say how long, just that it was a lot longer than I expected
[07:20:00] Darby: you can keep all your system partitions on whatever you like, it's only where the recorded videos are that matter
[07:21:00] cosmo_: Darby, I guess I'll have to make a bigass file and delete it manually, I dont see why it wouldn't be a good simulation. Im still waiting for my haupagge to get in the mail
[07:21:00] Darby: you might take Juski's advice and try ext3 for that
[07:21:00] Darby: that should be a perfect test
[07:21:00] Juski: big play is made of how long ext3 takes, but if I rm a file I seem to get the space back in no time
[07:22:00] Juski: I mean this can be on a 4GB file... rm doesn't seem to take _any_ longer
[07:22:00] cosmo_: hehe, cat /proc/kcore >> test, repeat 100 times
[07:22:00] Juski: and ok.. so ext3 isn't a riser FS ;)
[07:23:00] cosmo_: how big should I make my test file if I intend on recording with modest mpg2 settings? 3–4 gig?
[07:23:00] Juski: yeh 4 gig file should be enough
[07:23:00] Juski: right.. time to shake it & get to work
[07:23:00] cosmo_: thank got for ca

[07:25:00] cosmo_: when myth deletes a recorded file through the frontend, does it prohibit additional user input, and wait, or does it background the job of deleting the file?
[07:25:00] cosmo_: I plan on having a remote backend running 24–7
[07:25:00] Darby: it hangs for a bit
[07:25:00] cosmo_: yuck
[07:26:00] Darby: it goes pretty quick with jfs.
[07:26:00] cosmo_: I bet
[07:26:00] cosmo_: have you tried with resiser?
[07:26:00] Darby: only rm, not through the rontend
[07:26:00] cosmo_: I mean, if it takes 4 seconds, im not terribly impatient. Id test it, but geesh its taking an eternity to assemble a 4 gig testfile
[07:27:00] Darby: just to createthe file?
[07:27:00] cosmo_: yeah
[07:27:00] Darby: hmmmm... not much experience there.
[07:27:00] cosmo_: right now Im catting a 1 gig file 4 times
[07:28:00] cosmo_: there we go
[07:29:00] cosmo_: 4.7 gig file, reiser 3.6, took 5 minutes to make it, 4.322 seconds to rm
[07:29:00] Darby: huh. not too bad, but it could seem like a long time if you were waiting for your tv to respond
[07:29:00] cosmo_: thats not all that bad. Guess I'll stick with reiser, but that you for confirming to me that JFS is stable in gentoo. Nobody in #gentoo had an opinion of it, so I veered away, but I will definitely use it next time
[07:30:00] cosmo_: oh, likely
[07:30:00] cosmo_: and, the disk is likely not fragged
[07:30:00] Darby: well, now I didn't exactly call it stabel ;-)
[07:30:00] cosmo_: how does linux survive without defragging?
[07:30:00] cosmo_: well, not unstable ;p
[07:31:00] Darby: the only problem I have ever seen was a powerloss
[07:31:00] Darby: fsck, mount fixed it perfectly
[07:31:00] cosmo_: im assuming your referring to house power loss right? Not like a hard drive spindown?
[07:31:00] Darby: no, like yanking the plug out
[07:31:00] Darby: not that I did that
[07:32:00] cosmo_: yeah, then it looks like JFS performed admirably, reiser wil do that to me too, insist on a fsck
[07:32:00] Darby: it didn't ask though.
[07:32:00] cosmo_: just didn't mount?
[07:32:00] Darby: it booted all the way up and just never mounted
[07:33:00] Darby: probably makes sense since it wasn't a system partition
[07:33:00] cosmo_: oh, cause its not your root partition perhaps

[08:58:00] nuonguy: With the latest 2.6.14 kernels, does the line "alias char-major-81 videodev" still need to appear in /etc/modprobe.conf?
[08:58:00] juski: see, wikis are fun!
[08:58:00] nuonguy: The ivtv driver seems to put in "alias char-major-81 ivtv"
[08:59:00] Xenna: I have alias char-major-81 ivtv
[08:59:00] Xenna: no clue is it's required
[08:59:00] Xenna: if it's required
[08:59:00] nuonguy: See, I have both an ivtv card and an saa7134 card

[09:00:00] nuonguy: char-major-81–1 ivtv
[09:01:00] nuonguy: Is that why my system something crashes when I install the nvidia driver?
[09:01:00] Flimzy: woot... I finally got myth compiled on my amd64 w/ firewire support
[09:01:00] Flimzy: now to install my sound cards and tv tuner, and get the kernel drivers working for 'em

[09:01:00] juski: so do the ivtv driver modules tend to sit okay with v4l drivers? I'm only asking because I'm considering getting a PVR150
[09:02:00] Xenna: juski: I belive part of the ivtv-0.4.0 install is moving the v4l drivers out of the way

[09:03:00] Xenna: but version 5.0 should be part of v4l IIRC
[09:04:00] juski: Xenna: by 'out of the way' I assume you mean relocating them as opposed to deleting em
[09:04:00] Xenna: Yes, but deleting would work as well
[09:04:00] Xenna: there are conflictig module names like tuner.ko
[09:04:00] juski: can ivtv not happily co-exist with other drivers then?
[09:05:00] Xenna: I would think so
[09:05:00] juski: or is it a case of hanging on for 5.0?
[09:05:00] Xenna: but i haven't tried
[09:05:00] Xenna: yes, hang on for 5
[09:06:00] juski: I was just thinking about it this morning.. my DVB tuners use a similar chipset so there might have been conflicts – I dunno.

[09:10:00] simcop2387: i'm very close to having voice control on mythtv!
[09:10:00] Xenna: I'm now running with one PVR500
[09:10:00] nuonguy: cool
[09:10:00] Xenna: I also have a PVR350 but they won't work together
[09:10:00] simcop2387: they wont?
[09:10:00] nuonguy: the 500 is the one with two tuners, right?
[09:10:00] nuonguy: Xenna: which kernel are you running?
[09:11:00] Xenna: I started out with all the stuff from the howto but commented most of it out on request of Hand Verkuil
[09:11:00] Xenna: Yes two tuners
[09:11:00] Xenna: A custom compiled 2.6.14
[09:11:00] nuonguy: but did you start with 1644?
[09:12:00] Xenna: 1637
[09:13:00] Xenna: Well actually I started out with 2.6.13–1.1532_FC4 but I yum upgraded to 14
[09:13:00] nuonguy: on a slightly different topic: are there any known issues when running a big LVM on one kernel, then rebooting with another kernel?
[09:14:00] nuonguy: I'm not sure yet, but doing that seems to foobar my LVM
[09:14:00] nuonguy: I built it with 1644, seemed ok
[09:14:00] Xenna: dunno
[09:14:00] nuonguy: rebooted with 1637, and that's when my troubles began
[09:14:00] Xenna: LVM is one oof these things that I should look into sometime ;)
[09:15:00] nuonguy: Well, I'm forging away

[09:22:00] simcop2387: does anyone else here think that speech recognition for jump points, channel changing, and other things would be neat? (i'll have a working demo using cmu sphinx and perl in a day or two)

[09:22:00] nuonguy: How do you make sure background/tv noise doesn't interfere?
[09:22:00] simcop2387: keep the microphone closer to you?
[09:22:00] nuonguy: ya think?
[09:23:00] nuonguy: duh!
[09:23:00] nuonguy: Does it require a good mic?
[09:23:00] simcop2387: dunno

[09:23:00] simcop2387: i borrowed one from my gf
[09:23:00] simcop2387: let me check
[09:23:00] nuonguy: Is it a studio mic or just a plain gaming headset?
[09:24:00] simcop2387: gaming headset should be fine
[09:24:00] simcop2387: doesn't even use 1% of my cpu continuously
[09:24:00] simcop2387: 2.4ghz athlon 64 in 64bit

[09:25:00] Xenna: Great for disabled people
[09:25:00] simcop2387: juski: i probably will too but its a neat idea and depending on how long it takes me to build a quick language model for it i could have it done in a day, imagine saying "TV weather" and it gives you mythweather
[09:26:00] simcop2387: or "tv porn" and it goes to videos
[09:26:00] Xenna: that's where handsfree operation would come in 'handy'
[09:26:00] simcop2387: lol

[09:28:00] simcop2387: cmu sphinx doesn't seem to be doing a bad job of recognizing my voice, and the gentoo ebuilds seem to have set it up painlessly (only problem is building the language model i think)
[09:35:00] simcop2387: with a larger language model its about 75% accurate on words, i can't get it to understand "nine" at all

[11:40:00] davro: kinda limited space, mini itx, MII 12000 only have one pci space and agp space.
[11:41:00] davro: and no agp space
[11:41:00] juski: mini-itx? just use its onboard output then

[11:42:00] juski: svideo is very good. composite (as usual), much less so

[11:44:00] juski: davro: the 350 doesn't have a VGA output anyway – just svid/composite

[11:48:00] juski: but you still need a tuner/capture card
[11:48:00] juski: and most EPIA boards also have TV outputs

[11:55:00] juski: not bad at alll
[11:56:00] juski: davro: in all probability you'll be able to side-step using the TV output of the MII board altogether – & just hook the monitor up to the standard monitor port onboard
[11:57:00] juski: in which case you really would have been wasting money on the 350 card
[11:57:00] davro: Right need to purchace this monster, to give me something todo over christmas period.
[11:58:00] davro: Thank juski for the advice, after looking at the 350 it does seem a bit of a white elephant
[12:01:00] juski: davro: it's ok for some people, but it's looking a bit long in the tooth now I think
[12:02:00] juski: and you'll _really_ benefit having another tuner ;)
[12:06:00] davro: Yup quite a nice card, with radio and a groovy remote control and Infra red reciver, what more could i ask for christmas.
[12:09:00] davro: Damn Christmas comes early, Estimated Despatch Date Tuesday, 13 December
[12:10:00] juski: least they've got your card in stock, davro. I'm waiting for em to get some more 150 cards in.. cheapest price in the UK, even beateing 2nd hand sales on Ebay

[14:08:00] danieldk: hello
[14:11:00] eidolon: t00m: there's a certain level of investment / committment you need to make when building a mythtv box. $500 is about minimum to get a functional machine and tuner card.
[14:11:00] eidolon: if you don't do that, you're never going to be happy with the results.
[14:12:00] laga: eidolon: well, many people already have at least some hardware lying around they can use for their mythtv box
[14:12:00] eidolon: i assumed the investment included scavaging :)
[14:12:00] laga: k ;)
[14:13:00] eidolon: i re-used an older Athlon box i had. but few folks have tuner cards just sitting in spare parts boxes :)
[14:13:00] t00m: eidolon: well, i paid 50 bucks for an old case having an amd700 with 640M RAM and a power supply, $139 for a dvb card, $69 for a tv out graphics card and $117 for a harddrive. that makes it 380
[14:13:00] laga: hehe, yep.
[14:14:00] Xenna: I spent about 700 EUR for my box
[14:14:00] t00m: now, i could buy an amd 2000+ for20 bucks from ebay which would probably quite bored using 133MHz bus speed..
[14:15:00] eidolon: yah, that's a fairly weak CPU. :(
[14:15:00] t00m: and also 1600MHz clock, cause that's probably all the board can do
[14:16:00] t00m: i'm just trying to decide what to buy first
[14:16:00] danieldk: well. depending on your requirements – one could use a much slover cpu and hauppauge 350..
[14:16:00] t00m: but you can't buy hauppauge in australia
[14:16:00] t00m: i tried it
[14:16:00] danieldk: damn
[14:16:00] Xenna: weird
[14:16:00] t00m: well, you could have it shipped for 60 bucks or so
[14:17:00] eidolon: (i'm running a pvr150 on an athlon 1400 w/512meg)
[14:17:00] Xenna: that's only $30 per tuner if you get a PVR500

[17:07:00] wole: laga: but will that allow me to tie the start and end points of the recordings to the start and end of the progs in the listings?
[17:08:00] js2638: would it be easier to write an sql statement to record all where channel = x?
[17:08:00] laga: wole: yes, of course. it will match the programs as they are listed and umm record them.
[17:08:00] laga: js2638: that's basically what i'm talking about. it's an option in the frontend.

[19:26:00] fryfrog: mythtv is for bitches!
[19:26:00] rjune: banyan: basicly, here's what you gotta do.
[19:26:00] rjune: install fedora.
[19:26:00] rjune: configure livna
[19:26:00] rjune: do all updates
[19:26:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: ATI chipset
[19:26:00] rjune: add atrpms
[19:26:00] fryfrog: Flimzy: do you have the firmware where it can get it?
[19:26:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: In an HP pavillion
[19:26:00] fryfrog: like, in /lib/modules/<kernenanme?
[19:26:00] rjune: yum install mythtv-suite, but tell it no
[19:27:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: I have it in /lib/modules, and /lib/firmware (symlinked)
[19:27:00] banyan: I have done all that, with atrpms severely restricted as to packages.
[19:27:00] rjune: disable atrpms and manually install all the deps you can
[19:27:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: Is it supposed to be in the kernel-specific directory? (none of the howtos suggested that, but I can try it)
[19:27:00] fryfrog: Flimzy: can you do the debug=? thing and get more detailed output?
[19:27:00] rjune: re-enable atrpms, install mythtv-suite, then disable it again and never ever let it back onto your system
[19:27:00] FunkyStickman: I tried compiling it in SuSE 10, and it crapped out... apparantly doesn't like gcc 4.x
[19:27:00] fryfrog: Flimzy: i checked, mine is /lib/modules
[19:27:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: FWIW, the kernel detects both tuners on the card... just can't locate the firmware
[19:28:00] fryfrog: ivtv-fw-dec.bin ivtv_init_mpeg.bin & ivtv-fw-enc.bin is what i have
[19:28:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: Yah, that's where mine is at. I'll try the debug bit
[19:28:00] rjune: banyan: that process has been tested and works on fc2–4.
[19:28:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: I have all but the -dec one
[19:28:00] banyan: I've got it enabled but only for ivtv and atrpms.
[19:28:00] fryfrog: i think -dec is for pvr350

[19:29:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: I don't have any other systems to try it on, ATM.
[19:29:00] FunkyStickman: crap
[19:29:00] rjune: banyan: yeah, because the repo is either on or off, I don't know a way to allow only specific packages
[19:29:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: But it's a brand new card... just installed it last night.
[19:29:00] fryfrog: Flimzy: are you using the firmware that the drivers suggest?
[19:29:00] banyan: yes I do rjune! Glad you know what I'm trying to say since I can't type.
[19:29:00] Flimzy: FunkyStickman: I don't think the problem is the card... I don't think "Unable to locate firmware" sounds like a hardware problem
[19:29:00] fryfrog: I think FunkyStickman is implying your ATI chipset
[19:29:00] fryfrog: not the card
[19:29:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: yeah
[19:29:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: Ah
[19:30:00] fryfrog: but i doubt both
[19:30:00] Flimzy: Even so, I think if the problem (at this point) were the ATI chipset, it wouldn't be a problem of "can't locate firmware"
[19:30:00] fryfrog: i suspect debug output will reveal more ifno
[19:30:00] banyan: rjune: you use the includepkgs=<space-separated package list to include>
[19:30:00] banyan: in the .repo file.
[19:30:00] Flimzy: Once it finds the firmware, if it still isn't working, then the ATI chipset may be suspect
[19:30:00] rjune: banyan: apparently it's not working properly then. eh?
[19:30:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: How do you specify the debug level? modprobe ivtv debug=foo isn't happyt
[19:31:00] banyan: I've spoken to people who use freshrpms for all the other dependencies and still have the same issue.
[19:31:00] fryfrog: try "modinfo ivtv"?

[19:33:00] Flimzy: Looks like all the debug added to syslog was: ivtv-iTVC15_16_mpg2_encoder_card: probe of 0000:03:09.0 failed with error -12
[19:33:00] fryfrog: very descriptive ;)
[19:33:00] Flimzy: (which I alredy knew, based on the previous output which said ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
[19:33:00] banyan: Not sure livna provides *all* the other packages, but I do agree with the general philosophy of using atrpms as a repo of last resort.
[19:33:00] fryfrog: did you say it was ivtv 4.x?
[19:33:00] Flimzy: 0.4
[19:34:00] fryfrog: er, yeah thanks
[19:34:00] Flimzy: is something possibly broken with hotplug, or some other utility that modprobe depends on to find the firmware?
[19:35:00] fryfrog: what distro?

[19:36:00] fryfrog: could you be lacking the "firmware" options in kernel? i've no idea if they actually *apply* though :/
[19:36:00] Flimzy: The fact that I'm using amd64 wouldn't render the firmware useless, would it?
[19:36:00] Flimzy: The firmware shouldn't depend on the host CPU, right?
[19:36:00] poop: CPU Temp: +63.8?C (low = +0.0?C, high = +70.0?C)
[19:36:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: No, I checked, that's in the kernel
[19:36:00] fryfrog: PITABoy: two trains are traveling towards eachother, one at 20MPH and one at 40MPH. How far will the first train travel by the time they eant?

[19:37:00] fryfrog: Flimzy: i'm doing amd64 and using the firmware
[19:37:00] Flimzy: fryfrog: Okay, that's encouraging :)
[19:37:00] PITABoy: i have the hauppage pvr350 and use mythtv to record it saves the files as nuv files but they are really mpeg files. however windows can still not play them an i would really like to play them in windows so that i can stream them to my xbox 360
[19:37:00] fryfrog: i could show you a *working* firmware? :)
[19:37:00] fryfrog: oh, well i have a pvr 250
[19:37:00] Flimzy: lemme do a dist-upgrade now, to make sure something else isn't breaking stuff
[19:37:00] fryfrog: not 500
[19:37:00] fryfrog: send me yours, i can test ;)

[19:39:00] PITABoy: what do i do to download it or "checkout" it
[19:40:00] PITABoy: svn ... http://svn.mythtv.org/ ...
[19:40:00] fryfrog: pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip and pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip are what my ebuild downloads
[19:40:00] fryfrog: the directions are right there
[19:41:00] PITABoy: do you have a svn ebuile?
[19:41:00] Flimzy: I have a perhaps odd question.... Does MythTV support the option to output it's video and sound over firewire rather than to video/sound cards? If so, I could get rid of my PCI-E video card, and plug firewire directly into my HDTV, and use the PCI-E slot for something else... hehe
[19:41:00] PITABoy: ebuild*
[19:41:00] fryfrog: PITABoy: do you use gentoo?
[19:41:00] PITABoy: yes :D
[19:41:00] PITABoy: :)
[19:41:00] poop: Flimzy: no, it only records from firewire
[19:42:00] Flimzy: I figured as much
[19:42:00] fryfrog: you might try #gentoo-mythtv for some ebuilds
[19:42:00] Flimzy: ... and thus far, I haven't gotten even that to work
[19:42:00] Flimzy: Someone should make an X server for firewire
[19:42:00] fryfrog: there are some svn ebuilds, on bugs.gentoo.org and i've taken those and "fixed" them for recent ish svn changes
[19:42:00] fryfrog: but i don't have time to pack em up
[19:42:00] PITABoy: how do i download the svn?
[19:43:00] Krazylegz: PITABoy: It should still be a simple rename.
[19:43:00] fryfrog: PITABoy: do you have a problem loading up "http://svn.mythtv.org" and reading?
[19:43:00] Krazylegz: I can try one here if you'd like and get back to you on it.
[19:43:00] fryfrog: Krazylegz: a rename?
[19:44:00] PITABoy: ok thanks i didnt know that it was a website i thought that it was the svn server

[19:45:00] Krazylegz: Yeah.
[19:45:00] fryfrog: renaming *every* file just so you can watch it?

[19:46:00] fryfrog: PITABoy: that is my customized mythtv-svn ebuilds, and some other stuff
[19:46:00] fryfrog: you might want to extract it and nuke some of the stuff
[19:47:00] fryfrog: i'm to lazy to do that
[19:47:00] Chutt: suggesting someone use svn just for the file extension chane is moronically stupid.
[19:47:00] Chutt: since that person has absolutely no idea what they're getting in to.
[19:47:00] PITABoy: what is nuv export?
[19:47:00] Chutt: it would be better to tell them to use the file link/renamer script.
[19:47:00] fryfrog: exporter?
[19:48:00] Chutt: which can be set to run automatically, and give every file better names.
[19:48:00] fryfrog: there ya go, that sounds like a better solution
[19:50:00] FunkyStickman: does anyone know if the code has been checked to compile with gcc 4?
[19:51:00] Chutt: of course it has.
[19:51:00] FunkyStickman: hmmm... then I must be missing something somewhere
[19:51:00] laga: and it has to be found to be incompatible. at least 0.18.1 ;)
[19:51:00] FunkyStickman: lovely
[19:52:00] FunkyStickman: what about 1.18.2-ish?
[19:52:00] laga: not sure. you could always check the commit messages for that one
[19:52:00] Chutt: the fixes branch compiles with 4.0.

[20:08:00] dev-: they're called "search engines"

[20:51:00] psofa: and the capture quality of the sound is crappy.Theres a hell of a difference between direct lineout and mythtv capturing the sound
[20:51:00] Chutt: then you've got other issues
[20:51:00] psofa: like?
[20:51:00] Chutt: i wouldn't know.
[20:51:00] Chutt: but that's certainly not standard.
[20:51:00] psofa: then how u know its other issues
[20:51:00] Chutt: because it's not normal?
[20:52:00] a1fa: lol.. arguing with the main man :p
[20:52:00] a1fa: psofa : pssst
[20:52:00] dev-: psofa's been tooling it up in here for a couple days noiw
[20:52:00] psofa: by other issues i thought you meant its not mythtv's fault
[20:52:00] a1fa: psofa : ya think i'd be able to run mythfrontend on K6–400mhz with 200mb ram?
[20:53:00] psofa: by running you mean? see the background ? :D
[20:53:00] a1fa: s/psofa/chutt/
[20:53:00] psofa: :D
[20:54:00] a1fa: Chutt : what ya say regarding the rumor for .19?
[20:54:00] dev-: i want the last 2hrs back... doom the movie fraking sucks
[20:54:00] Chutt: it'll be released whenever it's released.
[20:55:00] ** laga likes the "release early, release often" philosophy **
[20:55:00] a1fa: that matt zimmerman is not maintaining debian packages anymore
[20:55:00] Chutt: i like the 'release working stuff' often.
[20:55:00] a1fa: its from source now
[20:55:00] Chutt: philosophy :p
[20:55:00] Chutt: no releases when things are broken
[20:55:00] laga: Chutt: doesn't have to be mutually exclusive ;)
[20:56:00] laga: Chutt: talking about broken things, the new mpeg2fix stuff doesn't work for me. should i complain to -dev?
[20:56:00] Chutt: and 'release early, release often' reflects not having public cvs access
[20:56:00] Chutt: laga, sure
[20:56:00] a1fa: Chutt : new UI preview?
[20:56:00] laga: Chutt: k.

[20:57:00] Chutt: no.
[20:57:00] a1fa: thanks laga
[20:58:00] dev-: im guessing 0.19 will come out on the 1yr anniversary of .18.1 heh
[20:58:00] Flimzy: Can anyone tell me what "Encoder mailbox not found" means?
[20:58:00] laga: a1fa: i had some trouble getting it running, you might have to copy some stuff from /usr/share/themes to ~/.mythtv/
[20:58:00] a1fa: man.. al devs deserve a thanks for a working version
[20:59:00] a1fa: i wonder how long did it take them to build a functional tivo
[20:59:00] laga: SVN is usually fairly stable for me, but i only upgrade every two weeks or so
[21:02:00] a1fa: i might build a theme for mythtv :P
[21:02:00] a1fa: there.. i will contribute something
[21:02:00] laga: a1fa: talk to juski, he's been complaining about theming a lot lately ;)

[21:04:00] laga: Chutt: i feel quite lost in -dev and -commits, is it ok if i just open a new ticket? can't find any tickets regarding my issue
[21:04:00] Krazylegz: I guess it would be a bit pointless to know the history, since no one in here but you would have used the first version, and know of its greatness/suckiness.
[21:05:00] Chutt: i don't think there are any wrt mpeg2 reencoding
[21:05:00] laga: Chutt: awesome. ;)
[21:05:00] Chutt: first version did live-tv only
[21:05:00] Chutt: no gui, no osd, etc.

[21:05:00] Chutt: www.mythtv.org has all the old entries, too

[21:09:00] Chutt: sure
[21:09:00] ivor: (especially when I think hmm that looks better than the current one)
[21:09:00] laga: can we expect a new mythtv.org soon? ;)
[21:09:00] a1fa: wow
[21:09:00] a1fa: i remember that site
[21:09:00] jams: ok will send you the link when I'm done.
[21:09:00] Chutt: thanks
[21:09:00] psofa: Chutt, maybe the crappy sound has something to do with sampling frequency?
[21:09:00] dmz: anyone else here use pvr350?
[21:09:00] Chutt: could, sure
[21:09:00] psofa: what should i set that to for a crap bt8x8 card

[21:13:00] dev-: the girlfriend absolutely loves it..
[21:13:00] dmz: a1fa how's it going?
[21:13:00] a1fa: not bad bubba
[21:13:00] dmz: my damn cable works great on my tv (sony wega 55") but through pvr 350 i get no signal on like 15 channels (commedy central being most important:)
[21:13:00] jams: grr i lost the ticket I was tracking
[21:13:00] a1fa: whats your question on the pvr350?
[21:14:00] a1fa: hm
[21:14:00] jams: blasted kmail
[21:14:00] a1fa: you need to set cable frequency in mythtv-setup
[21:14:00] xris: ivor: you have that wrong. I'm the bot.
[21:16:00] a1fa: Chutt : anyway to make those rca inputs part of mythtv..
[21:16:00] a1fa: Chutt : kind a like "RCA INPUT" menu.. for dvd, game consoles etc
[21:16:00] Chutt: that's what a 'receiver' is for.
[21:17:00] dmz: a1fa what i just posted, channels work great on my tv, but through pvr i get horizontal trace lines on some channels and others are almost 100% static
[21:17:00] dmz: 80% of channels work great, the rest are just hard to watch
[21:17:00] xris: a1fa: won't work for gaming.
[21:17:00] a1fa: dmz : you use mythtv? right?
[21:17:00] xris: still a .5–1 second encoding delay
[21:17:00] dmz: a1fa yeah :)
[21:17:00] a1fa: dmz : run mythtv-setup
[21:17:00] psofa: hmm i did some more investigation
[21:17:00] a1fa: go to Source
[21:18:00] a1fa: xris : wow.. that sucks
[21:18:00] psofa: 32khz fixed the crappy sound i think
[21:18:00] dmz: a1fa, ok, whatcha need from there?
[21:18:00] a1fa: and make sure you are using a right frequency table.. i had the same problem
[21:18:00] a1fa: i forgot what is it called
[21:19:00] dmz: where is the frequency table?
[21:19:00] xris: a1fa: hard to encode something in perfect realtime. there will always be a delay.
[21:19:00] psofa: but with uncompressed audio o get more crappy stuttering

[21:20:00] dmz: what is us-cable-hrc?
[21:20:00] psofa: and cant keep up
[21:20:00] dmz: and is "default"="us-cable"?
[21:21:00] a1fa: ok.. try using that one
[21:21:00] dmz: do i need to reset mythbackend if i modify the frequency table?
[21:21:00] a1fa: nope
[21:21:00] a1fa: rerun mythfilldatabase
[21:21:00] dmz: really? egad that takes forever!
[21:22:00] psofa: is my theory correct? or else why would uncompressed my slower than mp3
[21:23:00] Chutt: psofa, it's likely, sure.
[21:23:00] psofa: then ill try another hd
[21:25:00] otwin: psofa: check that dma is enabled on that disk
[21:25:00] psofa: it is
[21:25:00] psofa: or so hdparm says
[21:25:00] psofa: but in the benchmark the hd scores 19mb/s

[21:38:00] Chutt: what was the issue?
[21:39:00] jams: changing channels across inputs
[21:39:00] Chutt: ah
[21:39:00] Chutt: works with C
[21:39:00] jams: it will change to the correct input but it not change channels
[21:39:00] Chutt: apparenlty doesn't with the guide, but i don't really care about that =)
[21:39:00] jams: also doesn't work by punching in the numbers
[21:40:00] jams: however once it's on the correct tuner it works fine
[21:40:00] Chutt: punching in numbers should only work for the current input.

[21:46:00] PaulWay: Any ideas on how to stop "prebuffering pause" on the frontend?
[21:46:00] PaulWay: The frontend is chmod +s...
[21:46:00] dev-: prebuffering pause is kind of like a default message for alot of things, ranging from system slowness to network slowness
[21:46:00] PaulWay: There's no way this is system or network slowness...
[21:46:00] dev-: k
[21:46:00] dev-: ;)
[21:47:00] dev-: do some google searches on that +mythtv you'll see what i mean
[21:47:00] PaulWay: Mythfrontend at full playback is ~25% CPU, and the files are on local disk.
[21:47:00] PaulWay: Yeah, I haven't googled it yet...
[21:48:00] dmz: krazylegs, ahh good idea, thanks
[21:48:00] Krazylegz: dmz: I have to do that too. ivtv-0.1.9 gives me some fuzziness in some channels.

[21:48:00] PaulWay: Good thinking. Will do.
[21:49:00] dev-: prebuffering pause is so generic its hard to say what it could be
[21:49:00] PaulWay: I just have to wait for Kate to finish her aerobics...
[21:49:00] rjune: should I ask why you're here and not watching her?

[21:50:00] Krazylegz: Perhaps even his mother.
[21:51:00] rjune: that's just oedipal
[21:51:00] Krazylegz: Oh, so you presume it's not his mother, because he isn't watching her.
[21:51:00] PaulWay: It's my partner, but she's shy about aerobics...
[21:51:00] PaulWay: Little does she know about the webcam...
[21:51:00] rjune: LOL

[21:52:00] rjune: LOL
[21:52:00] PaulWay: Buuuut, anyway, I'

[21:53:00] rjune: as long as she does her aerobics naked 'cept for high heels.
[21:53:00] PaulWay: It's -verbose isn't it?

[21:53:00] PaulWay: I'll tee it off to a file JIC.

[22:16:00] dmz: laga and when i modify finetune setting do i need to do anything or just change to that channel to test?
[22:16:00] laga: dmz: it could be possible that you're using the wrong tuner type.
[22:16:00] dmz: pvr350
[22:16:00] laga: but i'd look after that at the end.
[22:16:00] dmz: i've got a 550 i'm about to test out
[22:16:00] laga: dmz: i think you should restart mythbackend after setting the finetune value. just to be on the safe side.
[22:17:00] dmz: k
[22:17:00] laga: hauppauge pvr 550? there is no such thing, imho ;)
[22:17:00] dmz: and what range can i test w/finetune settings?
[22:17:00] dmz: 500 then
[22:17:00] dmz: :)
[22:17:00] laga: dmz: well, it accepts the same values as xawtv does.
[22:17:00] ** dmz goes to google xawtv finetune **
[22:18:00] laga: xawtv won't work with your pvr cards, unfortunately. and using the 500 may be worth a try.
[22:18:00] laga: and i'm off to bed now, i hope. cya.
[22:18:00] dmz: thanks
[22:18:00] laga: np
[22:18:00] PaulWay: Now there's an idea – let's try the frontend on a different machine.
[22:18:00] dmz: and is web best way to tune finetune settings?
[22:20:00] jonK: dmz: i've had some problems getting the 350 and 500 to play nice in the same box
[22:20:00] dmz: jonk using 2 differnet boxes

[22:22:00] jonK: cool — just wanted to warn you what happens is the first tuner of the pvr500 is unusable
[22:22:00] jonK: or at least that's my experience
[22:22:00] jonK: i have 2 500s both work fine, but any combination with the 350 and the first 500 tuner won't function
[22:23:00] dmz: what do you use for remote with the 500 in there?
[22:23:00] jonK: so i have 4/5 usable
[22:23:00] jonK: i have th pvr350 remote
[22:23:00] jonK: all in one box
[22:23:00] jonK: i alsho have an hd3000 card but have not got it working
[22:23:00] jonK: (not that i've really tried)
[22:23:00] jonK: for another frontend I use the snapstream firefly remote
[22:24:00] PaulWay: Well, the other frontend is working just fine.
[22:25:00] PaulWay: I'll have to delve into the ghastly voodoo that is sound on Linux.
[22:25:00] PaulWay: xmms works fine on the machine.
[22:25:00] PaulWay: from that I gather that ALSA is fine.
[22:25:00] PaulWay: But I note that the gnome volume control has quit a couple of times saying that it doesn't have something or other.
[22:25:00] mofu: spdif?
[22:26:00] PaulWay: No, just standard 2-channel onboard NVidia sound.
[22:26:00] mofu: i've found the gap between the two can be significant
[22:27:00] PaulWay: ? gap between left and right?
[22:27:00] mofu: between 2ch and spdif
[22:27:00] PaulWay: Well, yes, spdif is quite different.
[22:29:00] PaulWay: According to hwbrowser it's still detected correctly.
[22:29:00] PaulWay: Is there any other utility I can use to check the system configuration?

[22:53:00] Krazylegz: What's so bad about vlc?
[22:53:00] exstatica: to compile it you need soooooo many things
[22:54:00] exstatica: and the configure takes forever
[22:54:00] dev-: you think that takes long, just wait till it starts compiling ;)
[22:55:00] exstatica: yay
[22:55:00] dev-: vlc is a beast, but thats because it rules
[22:55:00] exstatica: i just want to use mythstreamtv
[22:55:00] dev-: its very useful, especially for doing things like watching tv at work ;)
[22:56:00] exstatica: atrpms needs to do a rpm of it
[22:56:00] exstatica: haha
[22:56:00] Krazylegz: exstatica: Heh. I never got mythstreamtv working to my liking.
[22:56:00] exstatica: yeah i want to watch on my way to work with my smartphone
[22:56:00] Krazylegz: The way it tries to do things isn't too fantastic, but it works okay once you edit the PHP to make it simpler. :-)
[22:57:00] dev-: yeah, i also had to modify the shell scripts to even work correctly
[22:57:00] Krazylegz: I basically set it up to be a streaming video server, instead of a streaming video server + reencoder.
[22:57:00] dev-: forget what was wrong with them now, been so long, heh, think it was pathing
[22:57:00] dev-: need reencode if you have a limited upstream, like alot of providers
[22:57:00] Krazylegz: Might have been that too. I don't remember.
[22:58:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, but reencoding was taking too many cycles.
[22:58:00] dev-: big time
[22:58:00] Krazylegz: You'd be better off reencoding at an off-peak time, instead of on-demand.
[22:58:00] exstatica: i wonder if i can stream it to my mms windows box and let that do the encoding and broadcasting
[22:59:00] Krazylegz: You could probably do that with two installations of vlc, or with vlc and some network file system.
[22:59:00] dev-: my master backend is also a frontend, only way to stream tv is when the frontend was idle. was fine during buisness hours with the woman at work and me at work, but if she was home or got home early, id have to turn it off so she could watch on the bigscreen. or shed have to go in one of the rooms and watch off that frontend
[22:59:00] exstatica: well i have nfs setup and samba
[22:59:00] dev-: xp3200, uses 90% cpu to reencode on the fly
[22:59:00] exstatica: why i have everyone here, i'm having wierd freezing issues with my frontend
[22:59:00] exstatica: it hanges for a minute
[22:59:00] exstatica: gets waiting for buffer
[23:00:00] exstatica: on the backend with the frontend it's fine, but the frontend only has issues with life and prerecorded
[23:00:00] dev-: sounds like network
[23:00:00] dev-: what speeds do you get ftp'ing back and forth?
[23:01:00] exstatica: i'm not sur elet me test, my cisco switch doesn't show any errors
[23:01:00] dmz: what table holds the channel finetune settings?
[23:01:00] exstatica: when i play something from mythvideo it's fine
[23:01:00] exstatica: but those are smaller video files i guess
[23:01:00] dev-: you need pretty decent throughput for livetv and the recorded raw mpeg2 files
[23:02:00] dev-: i require 6.5mbit throughput at my bitrates
