[00:56:00] funkyelf: hey guys, So I filled up my LVM volume. Now I am getting Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION when using MythWeb, and when I use mythfrontend and go into recording it is saying "Sorry ,there are no recordings available"
[00:57:00] funkyelf: I thought that it was supposed to auto-delete
[00:57:00] funkyelf: since I can't go in through mythweb or mythfronend....how do I solve this issue?

[01:06:00] psofa: is there anythough on using the red/green/blue/purple button thing like in vdr?
[01:06:00] Beirdo: hah
[01:06:00] psofa: ?
[01:07:00] Beirdo: how would we know how VDR does stuff? we aren't #vdr
[01:07:00] Beirdo: makes it hard for us to comment on your question :)
[01:07:00] psofa: when in an options window vdr says forexample
[01:08:00] Beirdo: funkyelf, hmmm, now that kinda sucks, you should just delete some files
[01:08:00] Beirdo: to be exact...
[01:08:00] Beirdo: cat /dev/null > file
[01:08:00] psofa: GREEN :edit BLUE:accept RED:quit
[01:08:00] Beirdo: that will make em 0 bytes, but it can still be seen by myth, and can get deleted
[01:08:00] psofa: so you see the red button on the remote and push it
[01:08:00] psofa: you dont have to remember which button does what
[01:08:00] Beirdo: no clue.
[01:09:00] psofa: and imho its a nice feature
[01:09:00] Beirdo: and that would require everyone to use identical remotes, not likely
[01:09:00] Beirdo: otherwise "which button is the red one again?"

[01:09:00] psofa: most tv remotes for teletext tvs have the red/blue/green
[01:10:00] psofa: its a method for navagating in teletext
[01:10:00] psofa: like shortcuts

[01:10:00] mofu: yep
[01:10:00] psofa: even the dvb-s card's remote has these buttons
[01:11:00] psofa: :(
[01:11:00] mofu: psofa: get over it
[01:11:00] funkyelf: so what is this auto-expire stuff and why didn't it work for me? Almost all of the stuff I have is set to auto-expire, but myth didn't delete anything, it just froze up when it became full
[01:11:00] mofu: my Radio Shack 6in1 doesn't

[01:11:00] Beirdo: funkyelf, hard to say.
[01:11:00] Beirdo: what did you set your auto-expire threshold to?
[01:12:00] funkyelf: I'm not exactly sure where to set that
[01:12:00] mofu: funkyelf: set the limit so it starts deleting stuff before the disk is full
[01:12:00] mofu: Settings:TV:GEneral I think
[01:12:00] funkyelf: okay....I'll dig around in myth setup again
[01:12:00] funkyelf: thanx
[01:12:00] Beirdo: no prob
[01:12:00] Beirdo: but in the mean time
[01:12:00] Beirdo: cat /dev/null > file
[01:12:00] Beirdo: for a few to clean up a bit of space
[01:13:00] Beirdo: especially if using xfs, it gets REAL bitchy when the filesystem fills
[01:13:00] funkyelf: yeah, I'm usin xfs
[01:13:00] Beirdo: if it hits 95%+ full it starts to really slow down
[01:13:00] Beirdo: not sure the exact number
[01:14:00] funkyelf: I need to switch over. I have two 300 Gb drives and only one makes up that volume
[01:14:00] funkyelf: I'm gonna format the 2nd drive, copy the files over, then redo that LVM on the first one to be anything but xfs and then put them back
[01:14:00] Beirdo: xfs is still the best choice really
[01:14:00] Beirdo: just don't let it get so full
[01:14:00] ** funkyelf apologizes **
[01:14:00] Beirdo: heh
[01:15:00] ** funkyelf used jfs **
[01:15:00] Beirdo: I did it too
[01:15:00] ** funkyelf thinkgs **
[01:15:00] Beirdo: jfs works too
[01:15:00] funkyelf: jfs craps out whenever there is a power glitch and I have to run fsck.jfs
[01:15:00] Beirdo: don't use ext3 though :)
[01:15:00] Beirdo: it's real bad with huge files and deletion
[01:15:00] funkyelf: what about reiser?
[01:16:00] Beirdo: I've heard people with horror stories
[01:16:00] Beirdo: dunno
[01:16:00] mofu: <Beirdo> xfs is still the best choice really
[01:16:00] funkyelf: so xfs is that way to go?
[01:16:00] mofu: <Beirdo> xfs is still the best choice really
[01:16:00] funkyelf: gotcha
[01:16:00] Beirdo: heh
[01:16:00] Beirdo: jfs is decent too from what I've heard
[01:16:00] dopester (n=dopester@user-0c8hs63.cable.mindspring.com) has left #mythtv-users
[01:16:00] Beirdo: but xfs is great if you treat it right
[01:17:00] mofu: currently using xfs on RAID0, nice performance
[01:17:00] mofu: kernel RAID
[01:17:00] \Grooby\_: who knew building a mythtv from scratch is this hard
[01:17:00] \Grooby\_: sigh
[01:17:00] funkyelf: I was thinking of mounting a huge network drive and transfering some files over there then putting symbolic links to them in /mnt/store
[01:17:00] Beirdo: funkyelf, that could work too :)
[01:17:00] funkyelf: Beirdo, but deleteing them would only delete the symbolic links I guess
[01:18:00] mofu: funkyelf: i think it works ok unitl you try to delete them,
[01:18:00] mofu: yep
[01:18:00] Beirdo: yah, true
[01:19:00] Beirdo: it could work for a stopgap though
[01:19:00] Beirdo: while you transfer crap around
[01:19:00] funkyelf: I could have a cron job that checks for files that exist in one place without a link to them and delete them from the network drive
[01:19:00] mofu: gettin' fancy . . .
[01:19:00] funkyelf: hopefully over this winter holiday I'll be able to play around.
[01:20:00] funkyelf: I have a bunch of stuff I need to figure out yet, like how to burn these to DVD's
[01:20:00] funkyelf: and how to transcode them in such a way that they are playable in Windows
[01:20:00] funkyelf: right now the .nuv files play fine because they are mpegs from my hauppauge card

[01:55:00] dhofstra: anyone got an opinion on how I could transmit my mythfrontend audio out to my hot-tub that is 40 ft away, but beyond a wall? I tried one of those fm transmitters, but sound was horrible, and limited distance...
[01:55:00] rjune: dhofstra: youcould run a cable.
[01:55:00] dhofstra: heh
[01:55:00] rjune: you got a laptop?
[01:55:00] rjune: put a wifi card in it and run the fronted on it

[01:56:00] rjune: use an 8mil cable or whatever it is.
[01:56:00] rjune: the big ones. they can go for a while.
[01:56:00] sphing: dhofstra: try a stronger FM cable
[01:56:00] dhofstra: I am planning on doing that with the laptop for video, but wouldnt mind running the audio constantly so I could just bring the RF remote out with me instead of the whole laptop
[01:56:00] sphing: *transmitter
[01:57:00] rjune: but then you can't control what you hear
[01:57:00] dhofstra: sphing: I just never could get even 10 ft away, and the sound was horrible anyway.
[01:57:00] rjune: build a frontend into the deck next to the hottub
[01:57:00] dhofstra: heh
[01:57:00] ** dhofstra looks up the electrical code for an outdoor pc next to a tub of splashing water.... **
[01:58:00] dhofstra: I was thinking one of those audio/video transmitter thingys might make the distance (for room to room stuff)
[01:58:00] sphing: dhofstra: if you could listen 10 feet away... you had a shitty transmitter
[01:58:00] sphing: *couldn't
[01:59:00] dhofstra: well, I bought the most expensive one, and frankly most of them had poor reviews anyway

[05:00:00] cworth: Now, my problem. ;-)
[05:01:00] cworth: Commercial skipping just isn't happening all of a sudden, (after a reboot a couple of days ago). Anyone have any tips for how I might diagnose this?
[05:03:00] pembo13: cworth, you tried pressing Z? I think that loads the commerial info or something, i am also a newbie

[05:11:00] Zirka: I'm having a problem getting my PVR-150 changing channels.
[05:11:00] Zirka: It seems stuck on one channel, and it won't change at all.
[05:11:00] \Grooby\_: Kury still here?
[05:12:00] a1fa|64: what driver
[05:12:00] a1fa|64: did u try rebooting
[05:12:00] Kury: I'm here..
[05:13:00] Kury: who what?
[05:13:00] Zirka: Well, it's the Hauppage PVR-150, so I'm using the default driver.
[05:13:00] \Grooby\_: i'm using gentoo w/ pvr350
[05:13:00] funkyelf: anyone here have a video ipod?
[05:13:00] Kury: Grooby: did you get your IR receiver working?
[05:13:00] \Grooby\_: i tested in irw but yeah it works
[05:13:00] a1fa|64: what default driver dude
[05:13:00] a1fa|64: what version
[05:13:00] a1fa|64: did u compile it yourself?
[05:14:00] Zirka: No, I'm using KnoppMyth R5A26
[05:14:00] a1fa|64: not u
[05:14:00] Zirka: Oh.

[05:14:00] Kury: Grooby: How did you get it installed? Whenever I install it from source... or emerge it as a hauppauge capture card... vs the serial driver... the make process fails..
[05:15:00] a1fa|64: what version
[05:15:00] \Grooby\_: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
[05:15:00] a1fa|64: its like pulling teeth with you
[05:15:00] \Grooby\_: I followed that
[05:15:00] \Grooby\_: you need to edit your make.conf

[05:15:00] \Grooby\_: don't use kernel 2.6.14
[05:15:00] \Grooby\_: use .13
[05:16:00] \Grooby\_: there's a bug w/ lirc and changes made in .14
[05:16:00] Zirka: a1fa|64, not too sure. It's been a while since I tinkered with a Linux module.
[05:16:00] Kury: Grooby: That would be why then...
[05:16:00] Kury: shit..
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: Zirka: when was the last time u rebooted?
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: maybe that will fix it
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: i had a similar problem
[05:17:00] Zirka: I rebooted today.
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: you could also use ivctl
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: to tune somewhere else
[05:17:00] Zirka: Nyeh?
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: any new shows worth watching out?
[05:17:00] a1fa|64: or comming out?
[05:18:00] Zirka: Battlestar Galactica: Season 3
[05:18:00] funkyelf: transcoding makes the files take less space, and so does commercial skipping. But commercial skipping requires my input and takes time. Can I transcode, then at a later time edit the commercial skips and save that space or would that loose more quality than doing it all in one step?
[05:18:00] Zirka: Jan. 6 (or Jan 9 I think)
[05:18:00] Kury: Grooby: K... Thanks Grooby for the info..
[05:18:00] a1fa|64: i am not into that scifi
[05:18:00] \Grooby\_: np
[05:19:00] Zirka: Oh, then I'm not too sure of what's coming out.
[05:19:00] a1fa|64: skipping commercials really screws-up your sence of new shows coming out
[05:19:00] a1fa|64: what format is .nuv?
[05:19:00] \Grooby\_: nite peeps
[05:20:00] Zirka: a1fa|64, Do you meant ivtvctl (the program) or do you mean some kind of module.
[05:20:00] Zirka: a1fa|64, Isn't .nuv an RTJPEG file?
[05:20:00] a1fa|64: yeah
[05:20:00] a1fa|64: ivtvctl
[05:20:00] a1fa|64: RTJPEG
[05:20:00] a1fa|64: is that supported under winamp :P
[05:20:00] Zirka: I don't think so.
[05:21:00] Zirka: You're using Win32 or Linux?
[05:21:00] a1fa|64: both
[05:21:00] Zirka: Hmm...
[05:21:00] Zirka: MPlayer is available for both.
[05:21:00] a1fa|64: why doesnt mythtv export to mpg4 as it is or mpg2
[05:22:00] Zirka: MPlayer will do NUV without any kind of convertion

[07:38:00] fallenangel: with kernel 2.6.13 and newer there is a function call that is wrong

[07:38:00] fallenangel: i am using gentoo too

[07:39:00] fallenangel: so instead of trying to patch the files, i went to kernel.org and got 2.6.12.6
[07:39:00] fallenangel: installed that
[07:39:00] fallenangel: and now its fine
[07:39:00] Kury: what are you running that you got it all to work?
[07:39:00] Kury: K
[07:39:00] fallenangel: after getting that kernel i re-emerge everything and it all worked
[07:39:00] fallenangel: and if you are using gentoo make sure your clock is set to UTC and not local
[07:40:00] Kury: whats the deal w/ the clock?
[07:41:00] fallenangel: after singing up with the XMLTV stuff, it was 5 hours off
[07:41:00] Kury: did you have to go to 2.6.12.6 for a reason? or should 2.6.12.10 work alright?
[07:41:00] fallenangel: i still can't change channels though....

[07:41:00] Kury: .. not even w/ ptune.pl?
[07:41:00] fallenangel: .10 should work
[07:42:00] fallenangel: i thought i read some where that was depricated by somethign with ivtv, i am willing to give it a shot though
[07:42:00] fallenangel: do you know how to use that?
[07:42:00] Kury: .. try running ptune.pl -c 2
[07:42:00] Kury: where 2 is the channle #
[07:43:00] Kury: or you can run.. ptunegui.pl I believe it is.. its ptune something..
[07:45:00] fallenangel: i will try that then
[07:45:00] fallenangel: thanks
[07:46:00] Kury: thank you too..
[07:46:00] Kury: I'm working on d/l the new source currently..
[07:47:00] fallenangel: does ptune.pl work with Myth?
[07:47:00] Kury: ... its part of the ivtv drivers..
[07:47:00] Kury: its comes w/ them..
[07:47:00] Kury: he look what I just found... it must have been added here recently..
[07:47:00] Kury: Also, if lirc still fails to compile, and you are trying a 0.7* lirc with a >=2.6.14 Kernel, this may never work. You have to get an unnoficial >=0.8 ebuild for the new lirc. I expect this will be resolved sometime soon though

[16:41:00] wole: anyone got any experience automating nuveport?

[16:43:00] dmz: have you gotten nuvexport to even work?
[16:43:00] wole: er...
[16:43:00] wole: no :-$
[16:43:00] dmz: heh
[16:43:00] wole: has anyone?
[16:45:00] dmz: not that i know
[16:45:00] wole: oh
[16:45:00] dmz: i think that the more recent libraries break it
[16:45:00] wole: i see...
[16:45:00] dmz: i've always wondered if i could just rename my .nuv (pvr350 mpeg) and put in my video directory and if they would "just work"
[16:46:00] wole: do you know of any way of exprting the video?
[16:46:00] dmz: nope
[16:46:00] wole: well
[16:46:00] dmz: i've looked at mythburn which is part of mythweb but it doesn't work either (i've not dug into that as much as nuvexport)
[16:46:00] dmz: very annoying
[16:47:00] dmz: it's the 1 feature that makes mythtv not rock :(
[16:47:00] wole: i have had some success using mplayerc and samba
[16:47:00] Krazylegz: dmz: Renaming should work.
[16:47:00] dmz: i'm going to try that next
[16:47:00] Krazylegz: From a PVR-250, they are just MPEG files.
[16:47:00] wole: with the mythds filters installed
[16:47:00] juski: why do people even want to burn disks these days?
[16:48:00] dmz: if i could have multiple "recordings" directories and keep adding disks I'd go with that
[16:48:00] wole: i want to distribute the recordings around our lan (600 machines)
[16:48:00] dmz: however since i can't easily restripe disks every time my recordings fill up...
[16:48:00] juski: wole: talk to a TV company & tell them you wanna do that. see what they say
[16:48:00] dmz: wole mythtv can play them across the lan "on-demand"

[16:49:00] wole: you could if you use LVM
[16:49:00] wole: heh

[16:49:00] fryfrog: no way!
[16:49:00] fryfrog: helloooo usb2 and/or firewire!

[16:49:00] dmz: wife is barly putting up with it in the cabinet as it is
[16:50:00] fryfrog: thats true, just have two drives... throw in a double of your current, use lvm to move data off older small
[16:50:00] fryfrog: then put in another big one

[16:54:00] fryfrog: not really
[16:54:00] fryfrog: 2mbit/sec <<<< 100mbit/sec
[16:54:00] fryfrog: HD is what, like up to 10mbit/sec?

[17:07:00] wole: If your NIC driver supports teaming (load balancing or trunking in meaning), you should connect it to a switch with LB or trunking capabilities. Teamed NICs form virtual NIC with single IP address.
[17:07:00] wole: If your onboard NICs don't have such capabilities, you should buy for example 3Com's NICs (100Mb or 1Gig). Moreover, if you want to make even more resilient server connection, then you could buy two 3Com's switches with XRN interconnect and connect each of your teamed NICs to diferent switch. This will form a very relieable aggregated link.

[17:18:00] Beirdo: just like the data
[17:18:00] Beirdo: but it still kinda has a parity disk
[17:18:00] Beirdo: and that's how it's redundant
[17:18:00] sphing: raid4 has a parity disk...
[17:19:00] sphing: Beirdo: but if any disk in raid5 fails...
[17:19:00] sphing: you just lost data and parity...
[17:19:00] Beirdo: then you still have valid data
[17:19:00] Beirdo: as the parity stripes take over for the data that's missin
[17:19:00] sphing: Beirdo: but some of the parity was on the failed disk
[17:19:00] Beirdo: argh
[17:19:00] Krazylegz: Trust us, it works.
[17:20:00] Beirdo: and that parity is for data on another disk

[17:25:00] Beirdo: I didn't say OFF
[17:25:00] fryfrog: <+Beirdo> RAID5 doesn't require same size, speed, or anything like that
[17:25:00] Beirdo: it doesn't
[17:25:00] juski: is ricers half hour over yet?
[17:25:00] rjune: no raid spec does.
[17:25:00] Beirdo: rjune: not true
[17:25:00] rjune: it just doesn't make sense not to.
[17:26:00] Beirdo: one of them requires spindle sync
[17:26:00] rjune: Beirdo: which one?
[17:26:00] Beirdo: I think it was RAID3
[17:26:00] sphing: Beirdo: yea i know... but if the raid isnt active then of course drive specs dont matter
[17:26:00] rjune: juski: naaa, we've not got into gentoo yet
[17:26:00] rjune: Beirdo: I know nothing of raid 3
[17:26:00] fryfrog: thats like saying that your car doesn't *require* all 4 wheels/tires to be the same...
[17:26:00] Beirdo: it's only really used for high-end video stuff
[17:26:00] fryfrog: well, i guess thats not a good example
[17:27:00] rjune: fryfrog: it helps if they're roughly the same size. but you can vary width and not have much problem
[17:27:00] juski: yeh.. like _really_ high end video.. i.e. scanning & editing Hollywood movies
[17:27:00] rjune: it's when you vary diameter that your car really starts driving funny
[17:27:00] fryfrog: that was a bad example cause you can put big tires on the front and small on the back
[17:28:00] Beirdo: juski: yup :)
[17:28:00] fryfrog: er, swapped
[17:28:00] fryfrog: er, not swapped if its FWD :)
[17:28:00] rjune: well, either actually
[17:28:00] rjune: just looks silly if the big-uns are on the front. kinda like them new hot wheels cars
[17:28:00] fryfrog: but i was *picturing* big wheels on the left, small on the right :)
[17:29:00] rjune: ifn you're driving around an oval you do that
[17:29:00] Beirdo: it's more fun having big on the left in the front and on the right in the back
[17:29:00] ** wole drives round in circles **

[17:29:00] fryfrog: okay okay its a bad exmple@!
[17:29:00] rjune: they use this thing called "camber" too
[17:29:00] Beirdo: my point was... RAID doesn't REQUIRE the drives to be the same. It's likely smart to do so when possible though
[17:29:00] fryfrog: i almost emailed Beirdo's line cause it was in paste :)
[17:30:00] Beirdo: but it ain't needed
[17:30:00] wole: think of a horse with different length legs
[17:30:00] Beirdo: and in RAID4 with a parity disk, it makes sense to have the parity disk faster than the others
[17:30:00] fryfrog: its SOP
[17:30:00] fryfrog: its not just smart, its SOP :)
[17:30:00] Beirdo: bah
[17:30:00] Beirdo: it's people who don't know shit about shit and think that they MUST
[17:31:00] fryfrog: its better than them mixing a bunch of crap :p
[17:31:00] fryfrog: if they do the right thing for the wrong reason...
[17:31:00] Beirdo: I know people who refused to swap in a 7200RPM drive to their array and waited for the 10k RPM drive
[17:31:00] rjune: OBEY THE OPRAH! YOUR RAID DRIVES WILL MATCH!!!
[17:31:00] fryfrog: is that *bad*?
[17:31:00] Beirdo: and the array failed while they waited
[17:31:00] Beirdo: "but they HAVE to be the same"
[17:31:00] Beirdo: no they DON'T retard
[17:31:00] rjune: nope.
[17:32:00] rjune: if you got no reason to make them different, don't bother.
[17:32:00] juski: today on the Jerry Springer show.. "My friend uses Gentoo"
[17:32:00] Beirdo: yeah, but thinking they have to be the same leads to such idiocy
[17:32:00] rjune: juski: LOL
[17:32:00] Beirdo: throw in a 4500RPM drive while you wait for the replacement for god's sakes

[17:33:00] Beirdo: then when the replacement shows, yank it and put in the "proper" drive
[17:33:00] wole: if you really want to think, what is better RAID 1+0 or RAID 0+1?
[17:33:00] rjune: all the while screaming hot hot hot
[17:33:00] rjune: wole: raid 10
[17:33:00] wole: yeah
[17:33:00] rjune: you can loose a larger number of drives and more possible combinations then with raid 0+1
[17:33:00] fryfrog: okay, in *that* situation its bad
[17:34:00] rjune: RAID 50 is for the truely paranoid
[17:34:00] Beirdo: RAID5 with about 3 hot spares
[17:34:00] fryfrog: RAID6 with 2!
[17:34:00] Krazylegz: Group Buy for #mythtv-users on 300GB Maxtor SATA drives.

[17:34:00] Beirdo: Maxtor?!

[17:34:00] Beirdo: fryfrog has it there :) Seagate
[17:34:00] Krazylegz: Fine, Seagate.
[17:34:00] fryfrog: wait, two raid 5s?
[17:34:00] fryfrog: or 5 raid 1s?
[17:35:00] Krazylegz: 2 RAID5s is what I meant.
[17:35:00] Krazylegz: RAID 1ed together.
[17:35:00] fryfrog: 2 5's, raid 1nd?
[17:35:00] fryfrog: neat
[17:35:00] jcsmith: no a raid 5 where each volume is raid 1
[17:35:00] fryfrog: hardware or software?
[17:35:00] jcsmith: hardware
[17:35:00] rjune: jcsmith: doesn't surprise me, the logical end to this silliness is raid 5 over raid 5 over raid 1
[17:35:00] fryfrog: spiffy
[17:35:00] Krazylegz: There is no group buy on the controllers....
[17:35:00] rjune: you'll be able to loose 3/4s of your drives before a failure
[17:35:00] fryfrog: controllers are for sizzys!
[17:35:00] fryfrog: sissys :)
[17:35:00] rjune: fryfrog: controllers are for hotswaps

[17:37:00] fryfrog: but software was cheaper :/

[17:37:00] rjune: juski: you don't wanna know how much I 've got now
[17:37:00] fryfrog: Krazylegz: with todays CPU speeds, software raid isn't going to be an issue until you get *WAY* up into the stratosphere of server usage

[23:14:00] praet: but this mobo doesnt have agp :(

[23:15:00] mofu: i'd be careful how much you load the pci bus if you are going to put a video card on it
[23:15:00] mofu: is the MB super-new or super-old, no agp??
[23:15:00] praet: let me check

[23:16:00] praet: its a P6STMT
[23:16:00] praet: http://www.motherboard.cz/mb/amptron/P6STMT.htm
[23:17:00] praet: i just noticed the agp 4x on it from that website doh
[23:17:00] mofu: the integrated graphic is 4x AGP, SIS
[23:18:00] praet: im using this board to put together a new mythbox, fe/be together
[23:18:00] praet: if it wont work then i'll have to dig deeper
[23:18:00] mofu: just use these drivers: http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisvga.shtml
[23:19:00] mofu: you don't need an extra video card
[23:19:00] praet: to output to tv?
[23:19:00] mofu: oh, yeah, that's what we started talking about
[23:20:00] mofu: vga to tv convertor??
[23:20:00] praet: damn this is from 2003
[23:20:00] praet: hey thats an idea.. will it work?
[23:21:00] Raven_301 (n=raven_30@Kitchener-HSE-ppp3574117.sympatico.ca) Quit (Success)
[23:21:00] praet: im going to look for other mobos lying around
[23:23:00] mofu: http://cgi.ebay.com/VGA-to-TV-CONVERTER-S-VID . . . cmdZViewItem
[23:23:00] mofu: this ebay piece looks super simple, probably force you to run 640x480 only
[23:25:00] praet: heh i just turned up a voodoo 3
[23:25:00] praet: thats a nice converter
[23:25:00] mofu: pci video card?
[23:26:00] praet: nope agp
[23:26:00] praet: when 3dfx was in charge
[23:26:00] mofu: not sure how good the linux support would be
[23:27:00] GreyFoxx: not perfect but it works
[23:28:00] GreyFoxx: it's also an agp 2x card only
[23:28:00] mofu: xv ?
[23:29:00] GreyFoxx: yup
[23:29:00] mofu: good 'nuff for SD
[23:29:00] praet: i just found s-vid to composite converter
[23:30:00] praet: ill try it out tonight and post about it later
[23:30:00] GreyFoxx: my svideo <-> composite adapter cost like $10 at Radio shack
[23:30:00] GreyFoxx: or get a svideo -> rca cable
[23:30:00] praet: oh right
[23:30:00] praet: well this came with a mobo (abit)
[23:31:00] praet: i bet its only monochromatic or something
[23:31:00] mofu: no s-video is s-video
[23:31:00] praet: can i put a pci video card and a pvr-250 on that board
[23:32:00] praet: ?
[23:32:00] mofu: I wouldn't put more than that, you might have to play with slot locations to make everything happy
[23:32:00] praet: or maybe get the 350 or whatever the one is with tv out built in
[23:32:00] praet: oh ok
[23:32:00] praet: will have to try it
[23:33:00] mofu: if you go with the 350 you don't need another video card
[23:33:00] ** rjune is back **
[23:33:00] praet: is a gforce 5200 the general card everyone uses
[23:33:00] GreyFoxx: or the gf4 mx 440
[23:33:00] mofu: yep, but good luck finding a pci version at this point
[23:34:00] praet: yeah im hunting the old boxes and also looking at newegg
[23:35:00] feld: i use the mx 4000
[23:35:00] praet: for the price of the 350 i could get the 250 + 5200
[23:35:00] feld: works grrrrreat! </tony>
[23:35:00] praet: ahahah
[23:35:00] praet: is that a new card?
[23:35:00] feld: not really
[23:35:00] feld: just a bit newer than the 4xx series
[23:36:00] praet: mx4000 vs fx5200
[23:36:00] feld: not by much though
[23:36:00] feld: fx5200 has more beef than the mx4000
[23:36:00] feld: but the tv out looks beautiful on it
[23:36:00] feld: thats all i care. i cannot tell the difference between that and regular tv.
[23:36:00] praet: true
[23:37:00] feld: passive heatsink on it
[23:37:00] praet: i just need a stable tv out with drivers :)
[23:37:00] feld: no fan
[23:37:00] praet: of course :)
[23:37:00] feld: the nvidia drivers have been performing well on it
[23:37:00] feld: i currently have a problem i'm investigating... putting the box under stress can cause it to hardlock.
[23:38:00] feld: which keeps me from distributed compiling and folding on it....
[23:38:00] feld: i think its the kernel maybe. i dont know. i'm trying to find information confirming ivtv & lirc working on 2.6.14 +
[23:38:00] praet: you could limit the cpu use
[23:39:00] feld: i do
[23:39:00] praet: and still freezes
[23:39:00] feld: using the fahlimit program i limit folding to 50% cpu time
[23:39:00] feld: and distcc will eat up the rest if i need it
[23:39:00] feld: but even without distcc it will hardlock.
[23:39:00] praet: nasty
[23:40:00] praet: i keep away from new kernels
[23:40:00] mofu: voltage/heat ??
[23:40:00] feld: its gentoo x86 with only necessary things unstable. X is stable.
[23:40:00] feld: heat is fine
[23:41:00] feld: voltage *could* be the issue as the power supply is not something i would regularly trust, but i am on a budget. dont have the dough to shill out for an Antec.
[23:41:00] mofu: what cpu?
[23:41:00] praet: ive switched out power supplies just for testing.. might be worth it
[23:41:00] feld: its 400w power supply... xp 3000+ 333fsb pc 2700 ram mx4000 pvr-250 300gb maxtor sb live 5.1 and a dvd drive
[23:42:00] mofu: that's up there on power required but a decent 400w supply should be ok
[23:42:00] feld: i dont have another power supply available to me at the moment.
[23:43:00] bjohnson (n=bjohnson@i216-58-58-83.cybersurf.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:43:00] feld: yeah it should be half way decent... i wouldnt think it should suck up too much though..... cpu doesnt eat as much as a power hungry GPU AFAIK
[23:43:00] praet: btw thansk for the info/help mofu, GreyFoxx, feld
[23:44:00] praet: anything writeen to the logs after rebooting the box?
[23:45:00] feld: nope
[23:46:00] feld: i was having problems with TV signal corruption and hardlocks and found out its because the mobo had no heatsink on the southbridge chip. it was HOT HOT HOT!!!
[23:46:00] feld: heatsink + arctic silver adhesive cured that.
[23:49:00] praet: hehe
[23:49:00] praet: fry an egg on it hot
[23:51:00] Beirdo: hot hot hot
[23:51:00] Beirdo: use a frying pan as a heat sink
[23:52:00] rjune: the people singin' the people dancin' feelin' hot! Hot! HOT!
[23:53:00] praet: a mate of mine installed a p4 2.53 and put the fan on incorrectly.. it was beeping like a fire alarm.. I took the fan off, the silver was barely touched
[23:54:00] praet: it was less than a milimeter off.. and it was almost the end of that processor
[23:58:00] feld: no way
[23:58:00] feld: i dont believe that... pentiums are too safe-guarded. they auto shutdown in situations like that
[23:58:00] Beirdo: meh
[23:59:00] feld: if it was an AMD i'd believe it because they have no safety systems
[23:59:00] kormoc: praet, other then the fact that you could have removed the entire heatsink without killing the proc?
[23:59:00] Beirdo: and AMD does have safety in the newer ones AFAIK
[23:59:00] jams (n=jams@CPE-72-131-1-20.wi.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[23:59:00] feld: maybe in x2's and fx57's
[23:59:00] kormoc: feld, the cool thing is, they don't auto shutdown, they just underclock to an acceptable heat level, so you can still save and shutdown safely
[23:59:00] kormoc: feld, nah, newer xp's and mp's also have good thermal protection, if the mobo supports it
[23:59:00] feld: kormoc: ah, yeah, you're correct. i exagerrated the situation.
