[00:36:00] Umaro: hey guys.. trying to figure out if there's a way to import my divx-encoded tv shows into mythtv?
[00:36:00] Umaro: looks like mythtv uses some sort of lossless mpeg2 codec for storing recorded tv shows
[00:37:00] dtm: Umaro: there's no such thing as lossless mpeg2
[00:37:00] dtm: fyi
[00:37:00] jams_ (n=jams@CPE-72-131-1-20.wi.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[00:38:00] Umaro: ok
[00:38:00] Umaro: but it's some huge high-quality format
[00:38:00] Juski: dtm: there's a new lossles mpeg2 cutter in the svn version apparently
[00:38:00] dtm: oic
[00:39:00] Umaro: and I have these TV show episodes in divx. I'd like to merge them into mythtv, but I can only do so if I put them in /myth/video
[00:39:00] Juski: Umaro: you can create entries for them in the database
[00:40:00] Raven_301 (n=raven_30@Kitchener-HSE-ppp3574347.sympatico.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:40:00] Juski: but erm... nobody here encourages using downloaded TV shows
[00:40:00] Umaro: oic
[00:40:00] Umaro: for ethical reasons, or just because it's usually lower quality?
[00:41:00] Juski: ethical
[00:41:00] Umaro: oic
[00:41:00] Juski: last thing mythtv needs is lawyers running after it wanting to sue our asses off
[00:41:00] Umaro: yeah
[00:42:00] Umaro: well, so if I get a capture card, i'd like to have captured TV shows compressed, ideally with something like xvid. is there support for that in mythtv?
[00:43:00] Juski: yup: you can transcode them
[00:43:00] GreyFoxx: Depending on what format they are recording in they can be transcoded into mpeg4 or whatever
[00:43:00] GreyFoxx: If myth does the transcoding for you they will be stored in a .nuv format, not AVI
[00:44:00] GreyFoxx: You can certainly transcode them from outside however either manually or with nuvexport
[00:44:00] Juski: the day mythtv stores stuff it creates in AVI format will be a cold one in hell ;-)
[00:44:00] GreyFoxx: and importing an external one is a simple entry into the database
[00:44:00] Umaro: ok
[00:45:00] Kabutor: Umaro you can use the mythvideo plugin, if you qwant to watch them
[00:45:00] Umaro: yeah, that's what i've got going right now
[00:46:00] Umaro: unfortunately, then I lose all the TV info, and they are mixed in with my movies.
[00:46:00] GreyFoxx: I use mythvideo for all my non recorded+compressed content
[00:46:00] GreyFoxx: I sort mine based on directories :)
[00:46:00] GreyFoxx: /data/video/TV/Show/Season1/episode.avi
[00:47:00] GreyFoxx: /data/video/Movies/Comedy/show.avi
[00:47:00] GreyFoxx: etc
[00:47:00] GreyFoxx: makes it easy to know where anything is :)

[00:47:00] Juski: GreyFoxx: that's what I do now.. now I found out how to make the 'browsable' flag work ;)
[00:48:00] GreyFoxx: Juski: Hehe I've always used the browseable flag...since it was added that is
[00:48:00] Umaro: lastly, is there a good value capture card that you guys can recommend?
[00:48:00] Kabutor: GreyFoxx, I fix the mythgame – year bug
[00:49:00] GreyFoxx: Kabutor: You can place a cover.jpg or coverfile.jpg in a directory and it will be used as a default "poster" for all shows in that directory unless they have ther own specific folder
[00:49:00] GreyFoxx: Kabutor: Oh? cool. I haven't had time to look at it yet
[00:49:00] Kabutor: rominfo.cpp line 135 change to year = data;
[00:49:00] Juski: GreyFoxx: I'd always _set_ it for stuff I didn't want to see, but never worked out how it always showed up
[00:49:00] Kabutor: inestead of year = data.toInt();
[00:49:00] GreyFoxx: Ahhhhhhh no wonder
[00:50:00] GreyFoxx: someone undid a change I made
[00:50:00] GreyFoxx: I changed that and someone accidentily reverted it when they made some changes
[00:50:00] Kabutor: Oh! thx for the tip of coverfile.jpg didnt knew that :)
[00:50:00] GreyFoxx: cool, saved me from having to look :)
[00:50:00] sri: GreyFoxx: kill them. kill them and then go everyone they know.
[00:50:00] Kabutor: no problem, was driving me crazy
[00:50:00] GreyFoxx: Kabutor: I might have the filename wrong, but it's something like that

[00:54:00] Kabutor: maybe was already fixed that? I look for in the mailing list but didnt see nothing..
[00:54:00] GreyFoxx: Actually no, this was my fault, I overwrote it before I did that last commit on it
[00:55:00] Fitzsimmons: I think my configuration is screwed up
[00:55:00] Fitzsimmons: you're not supposed to listen to the audio that comes through on the line in, are you?
[00:55:00] Fitzsimmons: that's supposed to be read by mythtv and encoded
[00:56:00] Fitzsimmons: and you listen to the decoding of the stream
[00:56:00] Fitzsimmons: correct?
[00:56:00] Kabutor: mute it in the playback
[00:56:00] Kabutor: just select in the recording
[00:57:00] GreyFoxx: Kabutor: Change is commited, thanks. I didn't notice it before I commited it :)
[00:57:00] Fitzsimmons: Kabutor: I don't understand what you mean
[00:57:00] Kabutor: GreyFoxx, no worries I was getting really tired of moving thorugh a huge rom list with the remote :)
[00:57:00] GreyFoxx: Fitzsimmons: Correct, you shouldn't be hearding it. You need to set the mixer to mute it. there is a section on it in the mythtv.org docs
[00:58:00] GreyFoxx: It's been a long time since I last setup a bttv card with myth :)
[00:58:00] Kabutor: I have a bt848 atm
[00:58:00] GreyFoxx: I have several bt cards on a shelf heh
[00:58:00] Kabutor: I have to push it a bit to fit, those are big, into the barebone
[00:59:00] kormoc: yeah, tuners are a bit on the large size
[00:59:00] Fitzsimmons: k so I used these commands...
[00:59:00] Kabutor: Well You have to see my nexus dvb-s
[00:59:00] Fitzsimmons: amixer set Master,0 100%,100% unmute
[00:59:00] Fitzsimmons: and the rest of them in that part of the doc
[01:00:00] Kabutor: that didnt fit into the Pundit-R, so I cant use it and cost me 400 € a couple of years ago
[01:00:00] Kabutor: its like two PCI cards together long
[01:00:00] Fitzsimmons: but I can still hear it...
[01:01:00] Kabutor: Fitzsimmons, exec alsamixer and mute it
[01:01:00] Fitzsimmons: aha, there we go
[01:02:00] Fitzsimmons: so now what do I do to make it so that I can hear audio in mythtv? =/

[01:21:00] GreyFoxx: then just connect to the local port
[01:21:00] GreyFoxx: setup the same under putty
[01:22:00] GreyFoxx: so you tell your local box to connect to the local port that putty is portforwarding to the other end
[01:23:00] newdebusr: i'm using putty.. i figured out how to create a tunnel that can access mythweb and also ssh into my mythbox through the router firewall...but the mythstreamtv builtin to the mythweb of knoppmyth doesn't work remotely... it does work over my lan though
[01:24:00] GreyFoxx: mythstreamtv is using a different port, you will need to foreward that one as well
[01:24:00] GreyFoxx: I think mythstreamtv defaults to port 8001

[04:22:00] Esuirin: wel, that's what i am using now

[04:22:00] Kleptophobiac: Cardoe – email sent

[04:23:00] Cardoe: Kleptophobiac: just run those two commands

[04:23:00] Kleptophobiac: Cardoe – I already did, and you have mail
[04:23:00] kormoc: Cardoe, no, I use the nvidia driver, so until that works, I'm gonna be stuck with non modular
[04:23:00] kormoc: Esuirin, what's the proc?

[04:24:00] kormoc: Esuirin, system stats?

[04:24:00] Esuirin: gnome-system-monitor reports mplayer stays under 20%
[04:24:00] kormoc: Esuirin, sure, so what's the processor and motherboard chipset?
[04:24:00] Cardoe: SPDIF output just needs a mini-jack to coaxial
[04:24:00] Cardoe: and connects to the coaxial input
[04:24:00] Esuirin: but like, if i am using mplayer for whatever, and i minimize or maximize firefox

[04:24:00] Esuirin: i do have two monitors, btw

[04:27:00] dou1: I have a question about getting sound working with an MPEG-2 encoder; is this the right place?
[04:27:00] kormoc: yeah, that should be set to 1000 for a desktop system, which fedora does
[04:27:00] Esuirin: how can i check what it is set to?
[04:27:00] kormoc: Esuirin, there's been a lot of changes with the chipset stuff in 2.6.x and I wonder if it might have broke your motherboard's support

[04:47:00] dou1: yes, then please let me know what settings you use
[04:47:00] dou1: ALSA:default?
[04:47:00] Esuirin: well, i am remote right now, and since i uninstalled/reinstalled X last night remotely, i haven't gotten nxclient working yet
[04:47:00] Fitzsimmons: I know, I'm looking at the myth keys right now
[04:47:00] Esuirin: i think so, let me see
[04:47:00] Fitzsimmons: but there's nothing there that talks about editing the points =/
[04:47:00] Esuirin: oh
[04:47:00] Esuirin: find a point, hit enter, in edit mode
[04:47:00] Esuirin: see what it says
[04:47:00] Kleptophobiac: dou1 – the PVR150 puts out an mpeg2 stream, both video and audio
[04:48:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: hold on a sec, let me kick my wife off the tv for a minute...
[04:48:00] Kleptophobiac: so the sound setting for playback is irrelevant to that capture card
[04:48:00] Esuirin: Kleptophobiac, he hasn't gotten audio working w/it
[04:48:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, yes, I know but what do I do with that info
[04:48:00] Kleptophobiac: but
[04:48:00] Esuirin: Kleptophobiac, yeah, that's true, i guess
[04:48:00] Esuirin: so basically he just wants alsa period
[04:48:00] Kleptophobiac: dou1 – it sounds like you haven't gotten myth to make sound work at all

[04:48:00] Esuirin: you should be able to record something in myth

[04:49:00] Fitzsimmons: yeah
[04:49:00] dou1: Esuirin, how would I do that?
[04:49:00] Esuirin: it stores your recordings somewhere
[04:49:00] Esuirin: as .nuv files
[04:49:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: so hit z and it will load the cutlist it found from the commercial flagging
[04:49:00] Esuirin: mplayer foo.nuv
[04:50:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: got it?
[04:50:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, so I could set output to "ALSA:oss" and use "/dev/dsp"?
[04:51:00] Kleptophobiac: no
[04:51:00] Kleptophobiac: output to "/dev/dsp"
[04:51:00] Fitzsimmons: kristok: I know
[04:51:00] Fitzsimmons: kristok: but it got one of them wrong
[04:51:00] Kleptophobiac: and mixer to /dev/mixer
[04:51:00] Fitzsimmons: which is why I want to edit it
[04:51:00] Kleptophobiac: or whatever your dev system calls them
[04:51:00] dou1: Ok, thanks I'll try that!
[04:51:00] Kleptophobiac: for example, /dev/snd/blahblah
[04:51:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: so you can use pgup and pgdown to go navigate between the current cutpoints
[04:51:00] Esuirin: dou1, don't use alsa at all he is saying
[04:51:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: and then select or space or whatever will give you an option to delete the current cutpoint, or make a new one
[04:52:00] Fitzsimmons: well it aint.
[04:52:00] Kleptophobiac: dou1- yes, exactly, but that's just a first step
[04:52:00] Fitzsimmons: it does nothing when I press that button
[04:52:00] dou1: Esuirin, oh, then should I remove alsa.. and who takes care of /dev/snd/?
[04:52:00] Kleptophobiac: dou1 – don't remove alsa
[04:53:00] Kleptophobiac: it has libs you'll need
[04:53:00] Esuirin: dou1, he is saying the config
[04:53:00] Esuirin: you need to get the sound working period
[04:53:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: when you press what button
[04:53:00] Fitzsimmons: the use button
[04:53:00] dou1: Esuirin, I think I see. Just use the standard interface
[04:53:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: i assume thats a button on your remote or soemthing?
[04:53:00] dou1: i'll be back...
[04:54:00] Fitzsimmons: could be =/
[04:54:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: lets start over
[04:54:00] kristok: Fitzsimmons: start playing the recording you want to edit
[04:57:00] Fitzsimmons: >< gah
[04:57:00] Fitzsimmons: it was a remote problem
[04:57:00] Fitzsimmons: thanks for your patience

[05:02:00] Kleptophobiac: I'll have to look into that

[05:03:00] Kleptophobiac: damn you west coasters
[05:03:00] kristok: heh
[05:04:00] GreyFoxx: Kleptophobiac: I use a Niveus (my main remote) and one of the frontends uses a learning IR remote trained to use IR keyboard signals
[05:04:00] Kleptophobiac: GreyFoxx – does your niveus autorepeat when you hold down buttons? mine just... stopped doing that
[05:04:00] Kleptophobiac: really annoying for things like volume
[05:05:00] GreyFoxx: Kleptophobiac: It does but only at the rate I coded into the driver
[05:05:00] Kleptophobiac: curious
[05:05:00] GreyFoxx: the remote sends 4 signals per keypress
[05:05:00] Kleptophobiac: you hacked around with the lirc driver?
[05:05:00] Kleptophobiac: but wait
[05:06:00] GreyFoxx: No, I modified the ati_remote usb driver to support the niveus
[05:06:00] Kleptophobiac: mine doesn't autorepeat at all... even when controlling dumb appliances like the TV
[05:06:00] kristok: Can cx88 devices be made to work with myth, or ivtv the only way to go for hw encoding?
[05:06:00] GreyFoxx: I use the kernel driver and avoid that lirc mess
[05:06:00] Kleptophobiac: I used the kernel driver but found lirc worked better... but I think this is a more hardware related problem
[05:06:00] Kleptophobiac: since it used to autorepeat when I held the button down to control my TV, but it doesn't any more
[05:07:00] Kleptophobiac: I called the niveus guys and they were clueless (reinstall the driver on your windows XP computer, reboot, blah blah... even though the problem persists in non PC mode)
[05:07:00] GreyFoxx: I specifically modded the driver for my specific remote. So it works exactly as I want :)
[05:07:00] Kleptophobiac: GreyFoxx – does it autorepeat in NON PC mode?
[05:07:00] bradley (n=bradley@tangram.gotadsl.co.uk) has left #mythtv-users

[05:08:00] Kleptophobiac: dammit, mine did that for a while and then stopped
[05:08:00] Kleptophobiac: now I have to press the button every time
[05:08:00] GreyFoxx: I don't have to repeatedly hit the button (for volume for example)
[05:08:00] Kleptophobiac: exactly
[05:08:00] GreyFoxx: I hit and hold til I get where I want
[05:08:00] Kleptophobiac: mine used to behave that way

[05:10:00] Kleptophobiac: but oh well
[05:10:00] Kleptophobiac: I'll probably just get a different remote
[05:10:00] Kleptophobiac: and my TV has a slight annoyance too... it picks up the volume code for just about every device that has ever been made on planet earth
[05:10:00] Kleptophobiac: so if I want to up the volume on my cable box
[05:10:00] Kleptophobiac: the tv goes with it
[05:10:00] GreyFoxx: I'm gonna change the mouse pad and buttons to be either regular myth controls or jump points. I haven't decided yet
[05:11:00] Kleptophobiac: it would be cool to implement ipod style rotation with the mouse thing and use it for ff/rw
[05:11:00] Kleptophobiac: and I use the mouse buttons for commskip
[05:11:00] Kleptophobiac: ie, cut points
[05:12:00] Kleptophobiac: hey GreyFoxx, any idea why mythcommflag isn't finding any commercials?
[05:12:00] GreyFoxx: I have them mapped as mouse but I don't use them at all
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: yeah... the mouse is rather useless
[05:13:00] GreyFoxx: no idea, I don't really use commercial flagging
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: shucks
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: it worked up until about three days ago
[05:13:00] GreyFoxx: I pretty much never do transcoding
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: I don't transcode either
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: but commflag is nice
[05:13:00] GreyFoxx: and if I skip commericals I do it manually
[05:13:00] Kleptophobiac: so I don't have to press buttons to skip commercials
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: because I'm a lazy SOB
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: hmm
[05:14:00] GreyFoxx: heh
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: mythcommflag
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: seems to sit on finding logo way longer than usual
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: and then dies on an ac-tex damaged error
[05:14:00] Kleptophobiac: mv not available
[05:15:00] Kleptophobiac: what does that mean?
[05:15:00] Kleptophobiac: I see that in the regular myth logs too
[05:15:00] GreyFoxx: it's just verbose logging by the libavcodec stuff. You can ignore it for the most part
[05:15:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, I think I am narrowing down the problem: looks like myth isn't getting any sound. I tried mplayer on a .nuv file and no sound. Why would myth not get the sound from my intel on motherboard sound card? any ideas?
[05:15:00] Kleptophobiac: does that mean my pvr is putting out broken mpeg
[05:16:00] Kleptophobiac: dou1 – can you get sound from anything?
[05:16:00] kormoc: dou1, you have a pvr 150, right?
[05:16:00] Kleptophobiac: like a test.au file?
[05:16:00] GreyFoxx: Kleptophobiac: I see it all the time from DVB and pvr cards
[05:16:00] dou1: kormoc, yes pvr-150
[05:16:00] GreyFoxx: It's just warnings from libavcodecs perspective
[05:16:00] Kleptophobiac: GreyFoxx thanks
[05:16:00] Kleptophobiac: I'll ignore it
[05:16:00] kormoc: dou1, then myth can't not get the audio, it's included with the video stream.
[05:16:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, yes sound works for everything else , including DVD playing
[05:16:00] Kleptophobiac: i wonder if he has his card set up properly on the backend
[05:17:00] kormoc: dou1, there is no cpu/software stuff with the sound, it steams preencoded with the video
[05:17:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, how would I check?
[05:17:00] Kleptophobiac: mythtv-setup, capture cards
[05:17:00] dou1: Kleptophobiac, i picked the MPEG-2 encoder (250, 350) option
[05:17:00] Kleptophobiac: confound it, the commflag seems totally fargletroned
[05:18:00] kormoc: dou1, that's correct
[05:18:00] Kleptophobiac: indeed

[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: lol
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: k
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: it is in the shell though
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: does that matter ?
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: ...in the shell?
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: ie, you've not taken the CPU out of the box and installed it in the motherboard?
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: box
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: case
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: oh
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: yea but the mobo is screwed in
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: ok
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: well install the proc in the motherboard socket
[05:36:00] Kleptophobiac: and then put on the thermal grease
[05:36:00] |Slurpee|: k
[05:37:00] |Slurpee|: i jsut wanted top make sure it didnt matter it was inside
[05:37:00] Kleptophobiac: stock AMD heatsink or something else?
[05:37:00] |Slurpee|: came with it yea
[05:37:00] Kleptophobiac: ok
[05:37:00] |Slurpee|: and i had to put it together
[05:37:00] Kleptophobiac: if you have the stock heatsink, don't bother with the arctic silver
[05:37:00] Kleptophobiac: just put the heatsink over the CPU and clamp it in place as per the quick installation guide
[05:38:00] Kleptophobiac: there's a TIM on the bottom of the heatsink to act as a filler
[05:38:00] |Slurpee|: wait
[05:38:00] |Slurpee|: realyl dont take off the heat sync ?
[05:38:00] |Slurpee|: i abillion other people told me to do it
[05:38:00] Kleptophobiac: you mean the tim on the heatsink?
[05:38:00] Kleptophobiac: a bunch of other people are thermal nazis
[05:38:00] Kleptophobiac: and think a half of a degree is something to write home about
[05:39:00] |Slurpee|: tim ?
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: thermal interface material
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: usually a little grey pad
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: sometimes with a peel off protective barrier
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: if there's a peel off, peel it
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: if not
[05:39:00] |Slurpee|: on the fan ?
[05:39:00] Kleptophobiac: don't touch the pad
[05:40:00] Kleptophobiac: on the heatsink
[05:40:00] Kleptophobiac: heatsink = chunk of metal

[05:49:00] sri: okay, so I'm sure people have had this questions..
[05:49:00] sri: er question
[05:49:00] sri: does anybody have a pvr-150 and have sound working?
[05:49:00] sri: I can't seem to get sound working and I don't see any duplicate drivers that might be throwing me of.
[05:50:00] sri: everything else works great!
[05:50:00] kormoc: what ivtv driver?
[05:50:00] sri: 0.4.1
[05:50:00] kormoc: can you downgrade to 0.4.0?
[05:50:00] Cardoe: 0.4.1 doesn't work for me
[05:51:00] sri: really?
[05:51:00] sri: hmm.
[05:51:00] sri: I suppose I could.
[05:51:00] kormoc: 0.4.1 doesn't work for alot of people
[05:51:00] sri: but I can't get it to compile with my kernel version.
[05:51:00] sri: :(
[05:51:00] kormoc: you'll need to downgrade to 2.6.14 or lower
[05:51:00] sri: ah. yeah
[05:51:00] sri: I'm at 2.6.15

[05:52:00] |Slurpee|: thats what my cpu looks like for not putting on thermal goo
[05:52:00] sri: kormoc: will do!
[05:52:00] ** sri does that now. **
[05:52:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, looks like there's goo already on it
[05:52:00] |Slurpee|: never been any good
[05:52:00] |Slurpee|: goo
[05:52:00] |Slurpee|: i tried booting it the other day a few times
[05:52:00] |Slurpee|: and nothing was happening
[05:53:00] |Slurpee|: no video or nething
[05:53:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, remove it from the socket and clean it up with some rubbing alcohol
[05:53:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, be careful of the pins, and let it dry completely
[05:53:00] |Slurpee|: and then i realized i forgot the goo
[05:53:00] kormoc: and so what's the issue then?
[05:54:00] Azariah: Me or someone else?
[05:54:00] |Slurpee|: the issue is that i think i fried m cpu
[05:54:00] |Slurpee|: u think i did
[05:54:00] |Slurpee|: or cleaning it with alochol will really work ?
[05:55:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, you shouldn't have been able to fry it. Cleaning it with alcohol will help if it's just a issue of the goo having a layer of dirt under it keeping it from working properly

[05:56:00] kormoc: that is true
[05:56:00] |Slurpee|: so there is still a chance this can work
[05:56:00] kormoc: it's possable that it was just a bad cpu as well
[05:56:00] |Slurpee|: why do u say that
[05:57:00] kormoc: if it's never worked...
[05:57:00] |Slurpee|: well this is a lot of dust
[05:57:00] |Slurpee|: like i dont even want to touch it

[05:58:00] |Slurpee|: its not goo dude
[05:58:00] |Slurpee|: it was bare metal when i put it on
[05:58:00] kormoc: you know...
[05:58:00] kormoc: I bet you vaporized the anadized layer on the heatsink

[05:58:00] |Slurpee|: vaporized the anadized layer on the heatsink  ????????
[05:59:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, the aluminum on there has a finished layer of shiny metal, and likely it got so hot it went poof. Give the heatsink and the cpu a good cleaning with alcohol
[05:59:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, that would be the next step
[05:59:00] |Slurpee|: what material should i use to clean it with
[06:00:00] |Slurpee|: qtip ?
[06:00:00] kormoc: rubbing alcohol
[06:00:00] kormoc: qtip would be grand
[06:00:00] |Slurpee|: take the chip out
[06:00:00] kormoc: I've used paper towels as well
[06:00:00] kormoc: yeah, remove the chip, and be careful
[06:00:00] |Slurpee|: how long to let it dry ?
[06:00:00] kormoc: with alcohol, it doesn't take long, just blow on it till it's totally dry
[06:01:00] |Slurpee|: few minutes ? wait till morning ?
[06:01:00] kormoc: the purer the alcohol the better
[06:01:00] kormoc: few min usually
[06:01:00] kormoc: go light on the alcohol

[06:07:00] Azariah:
[06:07:00] Azariah: I have a system that has a WinTv card, and lan connections. IT does not connect to a tv/monitor. I connect through VNC and SSH. I have a script (I did not write I just altered and is listed below)that takes all recordings converts them to divx then archives them in myth. I would like to remove commercials so I have the system to not transcode automatically, Mythcommflag as soon as the system records. In the script ripmytharchiv
[06:08:00] Azariah: e.php I added mythcommflag that copys the commflag into the cutlist. I then (as I understant) need to retranscode the file....I do this at night so time is not a issue I just need it all to be automated. I currenlty run a script that does the following(it pulls info from the db but here is an example):
[06:08:00] Azariah: nice -n 19 mythtranscode --chanid 1004 --starttime 2005-12–27T21:00:00 --profile auto --honorcutlist --fifodir /tmp/ nice -n 19 mythtranscode --chanid 1004 --starttime 2005-12–27T21:00:00 --profile auto --honorcutlist --fifodir /tmp/
[06:08:00] Azariah: They system just sits there there are two files in the /tmp directory vidout and audb out. They are 0 bites. Also when I ps the mythtranscode status is SN1. I can end the program but after 4 hours the files were 0 in size and nothing changed
[06:08:00] Azariah: Any help would be appreciated or an easier way to automatically do this...I use cron now to execute...I don't want to have to connect in to convert the videos by hand(nuvexport). Thanks
[06:08:00] kormoc: Azariah, first of all, that's a huge flood
[06:08:00] kormoc: Azariah, second, have you tried nuvexport?
[06:08:00] kormoc: ooh
[06:08:00] kormoc: you mentioned it
[06:08:00] tanq: arg...
[06:08:00] kormoc: uhh, nuvexport can be run via command line
[06:08:00] tanq: so i was saying..
[06:09:00] Azariah: Sorry I have tried to get help for two days and no one listens....
[06:09:00] tanq: sbin/halt works from flux but when i push the power button in myth it doesn't work
[06:09:00] tanq: and the irexec process is owned by me
[06:10:00] kormoc: Azariah, we listen, but really, you're asking questions we can't really answer, as we don't know
[06:10:00] kormoc: Azariah, maybe a mailing list would be a better place to ask?
[06:13:00] Azariah: Would I need to join or is there an email address that I send to?
[06:14:00] kormoc: Azariah, you'd need to join, the myth-users list would be a good place to start

[07:14:00] |Slurpee|: i think itsdry
[07:15:00] |Slurpee|: im puttin it back
[07:15:00] Cardoe: kormoc: are you doing that?
[07:15:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, the top of the cpu is clean and shiny and not discolored or cracked?
[07:15:00] Cardoe: kormoc: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/xorg-x11/mig . . . _x_howto.txt
[07:15:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, and the bottom of the heatsync is still perfectly flat?
[07:15:00] |Slurpee|: clean shiny no cracks
[07:15:00] Cardoe: official guide
[07:16:00] |Slurpee|: i haven messed with heat sync yet
[07:16:00] |Slurpee|: just cleaned the cpu chip good and just put it back into socket
[07:16:00] kormoc: Cardoe, didn't actually emerge yet, still looking at things, I'll look at that guide, thanks
[07:16:00] Cardoe: kormoc: the prep steps are the most important
[07:17:00] Cardoe: kormoc: don't listen to the Gentoo WIKI
[07:17:00] kormoc: Cardoe, kk
[07:17:00] Cardoe: the problem with the wiki is the same issue that Wikipedia faces
[07:17:00] Cardoe: any moron who knows how to click can change it.
[07:17:00] ** kormoc nods **
[07:17:00] Cardoe: kind of like the guy that insisted to install MythTV you had to emerge kdelibs first
[07:17:00] |Slurpee|: heat sync is way easier cleaning
[07:17:00] kormoc: heh, fair nuff
[07:18:00] |Slurpee|: i got pictures of this entire process btw ...
[07:18:00] Cardoe: kormoc: spyderous, Josh_B and I have worked over that guide pretty well
[07:19:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I'll likely actually emerge it tomorrow while I'm at work, so it can build in peace
[07:19:00] Cardoe: kormoc: basically those instructions might be kinda right before spyderous and I fixed the depends in the tree.
[07:19:00] Cardoe: from the wiki
[07:20:00] Cardoe: plus now you can harass me if anything doesn't go as planned
[07:20:00] Cardoe: and it'll be my fault
[07:20:00] kormoc: heh, kk :)
[07:20:00] Cardoe: and I'll fix your pieces

[07:23:00] |Slurpee|: heat snyc is actully harder!
[07:23:00] |Slurpee|: it seems to be burnred deeper to the heat sync
[07:31:00] |Slurpee|: im runnin outa qtips here
[07:31:00] kormoc: use tissues for the heatsink
[07:32:00] |Slurpee|: now u tell me ! ;/
[07:33:00] |Slurpee|: u totaly have done this before
[07:33:00] |Slurpee|: because everything u suggest works
[07:33:00] |Slurpee|: haha
[07:34:00] kormoc: well, my brother has done it lots of times and I've helped out :P
[07:35:00] |Slurpee|: hmm
[07:35:00] |Slurpee|: this is way better now
[07:35:00] |Slurpee|: i took offf "made in china"
[07:36:00] |Slurpee|: k
[07:36:00] |Slurpee|: now i guess its thermal compound time
[07:36:00] kormoc: is the heatsink bottom screwed up in any way?
[07:37:00] |Slurpee|: heatsync button ?
[07:37:00] kormoc: the heat sink bottom
[07:37:00] |Slurpee|: lol
[07:37:00] kormoc: the peice that goes to the cpu
[07:37:00] |Slurpee|: soory
[07:37:00] |Slurpee|: nope
[07:37:00] kormoc: good
[07:37:00] |Slurpee|: its apears fine
[07:38:00] |Slurpee|: just like regular metal
[07:38:00] kormoc: so yeah, the proper way to do it is, cpu in place, goo on the center, spread it around thin and even, just sort of like a coat of paint, thick enough to not see though, but no thicker, and then the heatsink goes directly on (don't move it around much after it hits the goo) and clamped down, and that's it
[07:39:00] |Slurpee|: http://www.arcticsilver.com/images/p4_as_dab1.jpg
[07:39:00] |Slurpee|: just like that ?
[07:39:00] |Slurpee|: instruciton said to put a dab like that
[07:39:00] kormoc: yeah, you'll likely need a little bit more
[07:40:00] |Slurpee|: and put the heatsync on, saying the weight of the heat sync will even out the goo
[07:40:00] |Slurpee|: or should i spread it out my self ?
[07:40:00] kormoc: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm
[07:41:00] kormoc: For all Arctic Silver versions:Spread the Arctic Silver thermal compound over the CPU core as shown in the photo to the right.
[07:42:00] kormoc: ooh, you're right for the a64
[07:42:00] kormoc: listen to that page :)
[07:42:00] |Slurpee|: damnit
[07:43:00] |Slurpee|: so i just put a drop on
[07:43:00] |Slurpee|: and then put the heat sync on
[07:43:00] |Slurpee|: dont spread ?
[07:44:00] kormoc: yeah, for a64 cpus, that's what they recommend
[07:44:00] |Slurpee|: k
[07:44:00] |Slurpee|: alright lets see here ....
[07:47:00] |Slurpee|: i think i did it ...
[07:47:00] |Slurpee|: just a small goope in the center ...
[07:47:00] |Slurpee|: now i just put on the heat sync ?
[07:47:00] kormoc: yup
[07:47:00] kormoc: stright down and don't move it as much as you can
[07:48:00] |Slurpee|: k its in
[07:48:00] |Slurpee|: should i let it spread or just go for it ?
[07:48:00] kormoc: go for it
[07:49:00] kormoc: the spread happens cause of the clamp on the heatsink, so time won't really affect that much
[07:49:00] |Slurpee|: hmmmm
[07:49:00] |Slurpee|: i hope this works
[07:49:00] kormoc: if it doesn't, return it :P
[07:49:00] |Slurpee|: bought it online
[07:49:00] kormoc: RMA it

[07:55:00] |Slurpee|: eh
[07:55:00] BarnacleBoy: is it still cheaper to build your own pvr rather than buying something such as compaqs media center
[07:55:00] |Slurpee|: i dont even need hard drive in
[07:55:00] kormoc: BarnacleBoy, depends on your skills and hardware you pick and all that
[07:56:00] BarnacleBoy: yeah
[07:56:00] BarnacleBoy: then the answer is yes

[07:58:00] |Slurpee|: all fans turn on
[07:58:00] |Slurpee|: but nothing else
[07:59:00] kormoc: |Slurpee|, honestly likely the cpu is dead then, sorry :/
[07:59:00] |Slurpee|: fux0r
[07:59:00] |Slurpee|: i cant believe there was no instructions to thermal goo the cpu with the cpu
[08:00:00] kormoc: it's just assumed people knows
[08:01:00] |Slurpee|: so now i gota buy a new chip tomarrow
[08:01:00] |Slurpee|: can i use same heat sync ?
[08:02:00] kormoc: yeah
[08:02:00] |Slurpee|: this sux
[08:02:00] kormoc: just hope the mobo is okay
[08:02:00] |Slurpee|: y think it could have effected the mobo too ???
[08:02:00] kormoc: it could have, aye
[08:03:00] |Slurpee|: i thought the 64 bit chips had heat sensors or something
[08:03:00] kormoc: they do, but without goo, it's a very quick death
[08:03:00] kormoc: Intel really put a ton of work into their system, amd has always lagged behind a little bit
[08:04:00] |Slurpee|: how can i test mobo ?

[12:09:00] Juski: or crappy cabling
[12:10:00] jcsmith: Juski: thanks, the card i bought was a $35 knock off nvidia card and the cable it came with is a tad flimsy, maybe i'll try to go a bit nicer on the card

[12:15:00] Juski: though not as likely
[12:16:00] jcsmith: i considered the fans last night and unhooked all but the cpu fan for testing and the problem still presisted
[12:16:00] Juski: try a different video cable
[12:17:00] Juski: don't go crazy spending $$$$ on it though

[12:17:00] jcsmith: yes

[14:06:00] GreyFoxx: I'm playing around with using an old dvb card to grab the program listings data from dishnet for my uncle who wont have any internet connection to get listings from..... this is truly gross
[14:07:00] Juski: those rogue apostrophes really piss me off though
[14:07:00] ** Juski devises a cunning method of OCRing the TV guide :-P **
[14:08:00] GreyFoxx: Well this would do the job. His spare dishnet receiver goining into a pvr250 for capture, but without a source of listings the EIT data would be perfect
[14:09:00] Juski: I've seen the EIT code – it's erm... tricky
[14:09:00] GreyFoxx: But enabling eit scanning sky rockets the load on the box, chews up gobs of ram and pounds the database since it's not caching the data
[14:09:00] GreyFoxx: in my tests I could see instances where the identical query gets executed 10–20 times a second
[14:10:00] Juski: yeh I think it's what's fucking up livetv on this box... tv occupies like 20% CPU then the EIT grabbing kicks in
[14:10:00] GreyFoxx: I'm going to implement a map/cache to deal with the banging on the database, look at the rest afterward
[14:11:00] Juski: that might be good for the rest of us who might use EIT too
[14:11:00] GreyFoxx: I had no plans to keep it to myself ;)
[14:12:00] Juski: grab the stuff, _then_ pop it into the DB :) good plan
[14:12:00] GreyFoxx: well, a big killer is the constant selects on the database for the same info over and over
[14:13:00] GreyFoxx: 10–20 identical selects in under a second is a little much
[14:13:00] Juski: probably

[15:56:00] GreyFoxx: darkdrgn2k: Why would you place that in an inittab entry?
[15:56:00] Beirdo: that's covered in the myth documentation, I think

[15:56:00] ** a1fa peeks into svn :P **
[15:56:00] Beirdo: you use gdm if you want it to autologin
[15:56:00] GreyFoxx: mine is at the end of the stuff called by rc.local
[15:56:00] darkdrgn2k: GreyFoxx: i read it on the internet so it must be true
[15:57:00] Beirdo: and tell gdm to autologin after 5s

[15:57:00] Beirdo: you CAN put it in rc.local

[16:03:00] GreyFoxx: bronco1: Did you rerun ldconfig to rebuild the cache ?
[16:03:00] Beirdo: (just in case)
[16:03:00] GreyFoxx: just run ldconfig -v and grep for the QT sql plugin and for libmysqlclient
[16:03:00] GreyFoxx: make sure both are found
[16:04:00] bronco1: Beirdo, no I did not
[16:04:00] bronco1: GreyFoxx, yes I ran an /sbin/ldconfig

[16:34:00] docelmo: alot.. Check the license
[16:34:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: you must stick with GPL..
[16:34:00] docelmo: darkdrgn2k what kinda settop do you have?
[16:34:00] GreyFoxx: keyhack: you have to release any code if requested
[16:34:00] darkdrgn2k: docelmo: you dont want to know :-P
[16:34:00] keyhack: Afaik, GPL means that I have to have the code available
[16:34:00] GreyFoxx: darkdrgn2k: just create a "startup" file in your .icewm directory
[16:34:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: unless you code shit yourself.. and not IN myth

[16:34:00] GreyFoxx: mythtv@woop:~/.icewm$ cat startup
[16:35:00] keyhack: darkdrgn2k: Even then, the MythTV code must be available anyways right?
[16:35:00] GreyFoxx: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a TVOverScan=16 &
[16:35:00] keyhack: darkdrgn2k: Easy enough, just put it on the website
[16:35:00] GreyFoxx: /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend&
[16:35:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: if you code your own program NOT cat of mythtv.. then that part is yours
[16:35:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: you cant accept money for mythtv.. only the work you do getting it on the computer
[16:35:00] docelmo: keyhack put it this way.. You can sell everything including labor but as for MythTV you have to 0 dollar it when you invoice it to someone
[16:35:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: and linux cant sell linux
[16:35:00] Beirdo: ummm
[16:36:00] docelmo: anywho.. lemme check me again.. I just rebooted

[16:36:00] GreyFoxx: yeah you can charge for it
[16:36:00] keyhack: darkdrgn2k: Well, I know that, I'm selling the set top box unit with the software already on there, I'm not specifically selling MythTV or Linux
[16:36:00] Beirdo: GPL says NOTHING about it
[16:36:00] GreyFoxx: you just can't take credit for it and must give out ht esource if it's requested
[16:36:00] Beirdo: aye
[16:36:00] darkdrgn2k: keyhack: yes but in your cost break down you CANT sell linux of Myth
[16:36:00] darkdrgn2k: and you UST make them available to whoever wants it

[16:37:00] keyhack: Well, I'm trying to make a set top box at my computer store where its already in there, ready to go
[16:37:00] bronco1: ppl would pay for support and help, not for the software...
[16:37:00] keyhack: and I'll probably code some extra features in, that doesn't come with MythTV, and some services
[16:37:00] docelmo: YIPPIE! My remote finally works
[16:37:00] bronco1: just like red hat linux
[16:38:00] keyhack: I understand that any changes to MythTV that I may code, that version needs to be released, no big deal

[16:50:00] corpix64: tv-out on almost all geforce cards fucks up the text console using twinview
[16:51:00] darkfrog: darkdrgn2k: my ati works like a dream

[16:51:00] darkdrgn2k: darkfrog: i got ike 3 AIW. all ussless :(
[16:52:00] darkfrog: is it a radeon?
[16:52:00] darkdrgn2k: darkfrog: 2 are radeon on is rage
[16:52:00] Beirdo: the AIW isn't useless if it's new enough
[16:52:00] darkdrgn2k: Beirdo: nix no support it
[16:52:00] Beirdo: you can't use the capture, but the output part should work
[16:52:00] darkfrog: darkdrgn2k: you should be g2g on the radeon's....have you downloaded the new linux drivers from ATI?
[16:52:00] darkdrgn2k: Beirdo: couldnt get it to work
[16:53:00] Beirdo: that's different
[16:53:00] Beirdo: heh
[16:53:00] darkdrgn2k: darkfrog: to old for radeons nix drivers
[16:53:00] darkfrog: darkdrgn2k: they're easier to configure than nVidia's drivers even!
[16:53:00] darkdrgn2k: hear videa has better out capabilities
[16:53:00] darkdrgn2k: fuck.. 20 bucks on e-bay for a geforve 4
[16:53:00] darkdrgn2k: then 30 bucks shipping!
[16:54:00] darkfrog: darkdrgn2k: I switched from a GeForce 4 and I like the ATI S-Video out MUCH better on the ATI...I had problems with the nVidia cards.
[16:54:00] Beirdo: ATI's tv-out is better than nvidia's until VERY recently when nvidia finally put good TV-out circuits on their cards
[16:54:00] corpix64: darkdrgn2k: i could give you a gf2mx400, tvout
[16:54:00] Beirdo: the drivers are the issue

[16:55:00] Beirdo: darkfrog: if you removed channels, the data will still be in the DB
[16:56:00] darkfrog: darkdrgn2k: should just fine
[16:56:00] Beirdo: you'll have to wipe the data as well to completely get rid of them
[16:56:00] darkdrgn2k: 70 buck at best buy :-S
[16:56:00] darkfrog: Beirdo, so after like 10 days (when the data is no longer valid) the channels will disapear?
[16:56:00] Beirdo: yeah a 9600SE should be fine. the 9200SE was fine, the 9600pro is nicer :)
[16:56:00] Beirdo: yeah, it shouldn't ADD more data for the channels
[16:56:00] ** darkfrog loves his 9600 pro **
[16:57:00] Beirdo: but the old stuff won't disappear until it's old or you remove it yourself
[16:57:00] darkfrog: Beirdo: but after there's no data left the chanell will just disapear?
[16:57:00] darkdrgn2k: get the 9600 or eVGA GeForce MX 4000 64MB Video Card
[16:57:00] Beirdo: it should
[16:57:00] Beirdo: I think
[16:57:00] darkdrgn2k: wich one has better tuo

[17:54:00] Fitzsimmons: yeah, I finally got mythtv running on gentoo, but there's no doubt in my mind that it took way too fucking long :P
[17:54:00] redline-: lol
[17:54:00] Beirdo: I should see if my asterisk box needs much upgraded after the emerge --sync last nihgt

[17:55:00] Fitzsimmons: well sure
[17:55:00] Fitzsimmons: there's bringing it up
[17:55:00] Fitzsimmons: and then there's doing stuff
[17:55:00] redline-: however i had another 64 bit gentoo box already built and i rsync'ed the files
[17:55:00] Fitzsimmons: I can have a stage3 in about 30 minutes
[17:55:00] Beirdo: I was able to bring up FC1 and myth in about 1h

[18:03:00] Beirdo: but cool :)
[18:03:00] redline-: well that just goes to show how long ago that was
[18:03:00] Beirdo: at least Sun certs mean more than MSCE :)

[18:04:00] sri: the error in the frontend is that it timed otu waiting for ht encoder.

[18:04:00] redline-: well now theres tesking.com and they have all the questions and answers
[18:04:00] Beirdo: well, my problem is they expect you to memorize crap that's in the manuals

[18:05:00] Cromz: now if I can just figure out why it's not stable. lol random lockups. lol

[18:12:00] GreyFoxx: why would the apache user own your myth recordings dir ?
[18:13:00] Fitzsimmons: Camisa: why would apache need access to the videos?
[18:14:00] GreyFoxx: well if you want to be able to download them through mythweb it would need "access" but it sure as heck doesn't need ownership

[18:16:00] Camisa: Actually, I have chris:apache owning the store directory.
[18:16:00] GreyFoxx: The storage directory and files should be owned by whoever runs mythbackend, and as long as apache can read the contents it don't need to haveany sort of ownership
[18:19:00] Fitzsimmons: I have a feeling that nuvexport is not using my commerical markings... =/
[18:21:00] Camisa: GreyFoxx: so which groups does the mythbackend user need to belong to.
[18:21:00] GreyFoxx: Camisa: None/any
[18:21:00] Fitzsimmons: depending on the distro, probably cdrom, cdrw, audio, video
[18:22:00] Camisa: GreyFoxx: not even video? okay.
[18:22:00] GreyFoxx: well I suppose that would depend on the distro
[18:22:00] Fitzsimmons: check your permissions in /dev or the udev configuration file
[18:22:00] Camisa: GreyFoxx: gentoo
[18:22:00] GreyFoxx: the backend user would need to be able to access your video device

[18:34:00] Beirdo: um
[18:34:00] Juski: I don't think it does mind
[18:34:00] Beirdo: the filesystem runs on TOP of LVM
[18:34:00] Kelerion: or fs ontop of lvm
[18:34:00] Beirdo: you add partitions and disks to the LVM
[18:34:00] Kelerion: yup
[18:35:00] docelmo: is there a way for me to change the timezone in MythTV?
[18:35:00] Beirdo: or RAID volumes
[18:35:00] docelmo: or does it use /etc/timezone?
[18:35:00] Beirdo: it uses the system's timezone AFAIK
[18:35:00] Juski: what's with umbongo not honouring my screen resolution choice anyway? first installed it I had everything to choose. now all I get is 640x480
[18:35:00] docelmo: AFAIK?
[18:35:00] Kelerion: the source has an offset in mythsetup as well doesn't it?
[18:36:00] Kelerion: Juski.. updated card drivers?
[18:36:00] Juski: Kelerion: ahh yeh
[18:36:00] Juski: but what difference should that make?

[18:37:00] Kelerion: umbongo? you been listening to lugradio? thats what they call it.. lol
[18:37:00] praet: redline- i am pretty sure you can grow xfs (are you using a logical volume?)
[18:37:00] Beirdo: I set it up years ago, and leave it the hell alone
[18:38:00] Juski: always called it umbongo.. seems I'm not the only one

[18:38:00] Juski: I just needed a quick install distro to mess about with mythtv on
[18:38:00] redline-: praet I have a single disk setup now with xfs on it
[18:38:00] Kelerion: Juski.. you tried kubuntu yet? I haven't.. I prefer gnome.. but some people seem to like it
[18:38:00] Beirdo: redline-: I'd suggest creating an LVM on the new disk, transfer the data onto it
[18:38:00] Beirdo: then add the old disk to the LVM, then grow :)
[18:38:00] Beirdo: but that's just me :)
[18:39:00] Juski: this thing is making a fucking liar out of me. just booted in 1024x768. last 2 boots I got 640x480 or bust

[18:40:00] docelmo: I dont see anywhere to configure the timezone in mythtv-setup
[18:40:00] redline-: but the system has to have a bootable disk though
[18:40:00] kormoc: docelmo, cause it's not there
[18:40:00] Juski: d'oh
[18:40:00] Beirdo: it just feeds out the extents as it gets to them
[18:41:00] Beirdo: ahh
[18:41:00] kormoc: docelmo, it uses the system default timezone
[18:41:00] Juski: it's in the frontend setup pages
[18:41:00] Beirdo: yes, you don't have to add the whole disk to the LVM, you can add a partition
[18:41:00] Juski: erm.. I think
[18:41:00] Kelerion: I admit I use a windows machine for development.. I just find I'm more productive with it.. but I use linux for my servers..
[18:41:00] docelmo: I have the default set to EST but it still uses UTC when downloading the updates for the lineup
[18:42:00] praet: docelmo is the time and zone correct in the os?
[18:42:00] kormoc: docelmo, date in a terminal window shows the correct timezone and time?

[18:45:00] docelmo: But when I run mythfilldatabase it says its downloading for UTC
[18:45:00] poop: I officially give up. Linux can do neither firewire reliably nor capture stereo sound from my sound card.

[18:46:00] poop: Now I have a rather expensive dvd player.
[18:46:00] poop: Assuming xine manages to do anything.

[18:48:00] poop: Juski: Maybe the _3_ firewire cards are all just no good.
[18:48:00] Beirdo: or use OSS drivers
[18:48:00] poop: yeah .. maybe
[18:48:00] Juski: YippMn: yep
[18:48:00] poop: Beirdo: OSS doesn't support this card
[18:48:00] Kelerion: Juski: I don't use dvb.. but could you have different devices for video/audio/demux etc?
[18:48:00] Beirdo: then get a different card if ALSA doesn't like it, and OSS doens't support it

[18:50:00] Beirdo: but it SHOULD work, I'd think

[18:50:00] poop: Beirdo: OSS just produces annoying noise, even when using a 48k sample rate (the hardware default)
[18:51:00] docelmo: is there a configfile somewhere for mythfilldatabase?
[18:51:00] Beirdo: how odd
[18:51:00] docelmo: cause its not working.. :(
[18:51:00] Juski: docelmo: mythfilldatabase gets its stuff from the database
[18:51:00] poop: There's a _lot_ of variation in this line of audio chipset.
[18:51:00] docelmo: ohh time to go play with mysql..
[18:51:00] ** Beirdo pats his nForce2 chipset **
[18:51:00] Juski: poop: I've got a working 8237 chipset on my system – don't think I've ever tried recording audio though
[18:51:00] Beirdo: good motherboard
[18:51:00] YippMn: Juski, as in doing , mythtv < /user/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql?
[18:52:00] Juski: YippMn: that'll be the one
[18:52:00] Juski: or more like mysql < /user/share...
[18:52:00] poop: Beirdo: It wasn't my first choice, but I needed microATX with firewire and on-board video.
[18:52:00] YippMn: Juski, akk make that mysql not mythtv
[18:52:00] Juski: YippMn: then if your config files are right it _should_ work
[18:53:00] praet: cs_yckad ivtv-tune -L to see the avail freq mappings
[18:53:00] Beirdo: why do you need onboard video?
[18:53:00] praet: cs_yckad see here for more help : http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Ivtv-tune
[18:54:00] YippMn: Juski, well that doen't seem to work it tells me ;ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[18:54:00] Juski: YippMn: then you need to be running Mysql & have it configured correctly
[18:54:00] poop: Beirdo: I planned on not having a video card, since there were supposedly linux drivers for the unichrome chipset.
[18:54:00] YippMn: Juski, is there somthing else i missed?
[18:54:00] cs_yckad: praet, why i dont have ptune-ui, is it need to download indivial?
[18:54:00] poop: It's all about low-heat, low-noise.
[18:54:00] Beirdo: ah
[18:54:00] YippMn: Juski, hmm maybe i didn't get mysql setup right
[18:55:00] Juski: YippMn: try this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
[18:55:00] poop: unichrome pro I came to found out, didn't work so well (at all) in linux
[18:55:00] praet: cs_yckad ptune-ui is a perl script that has been depreciated for ivtv-tune (it does the same thing)
[18:55:00] poop: Still, the FX5200 is nice.
[18:56:00] YippMn: Juski, i did ;mysql_install_db
[18:57:00] Kelerion: I thought mysql_install_db installed mysql's core tables for permissions etc
[18:58:00] praet: YippMn can you log into the myth database : $ mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg
[18:58:00] YippMn: Kelerion, yup thats what it says
[18:58:00] Kelerion: ahh okies.. thought I was getting daft in my old age
[18:59:00] YippMn: guess i need to get mysql setup and the how-to ive been useing isn't gentoo only
[18:59:00] cs_yckad: praet , i am newible video on linux, is that ivtv is a tv card driver, mythtv is the program to record tv?
[19:00:00] Juski: what a bugger... you do a google & only find your own postings :-/
[19:00:00] ** Kelerion laughs **
[19:01:00] Juski: according to the svn version of mythtv, the linux driver for my card is erm.. borked
[19:02:00] Kelerion: what card are you using?
[19:02:00] Juski: I dunno where that comes from, coz it seems to work
[19:02:00] Juski: LR6650

[19:04:00] PoeticIntensity: I'm running Gentoo, and was using MythTV 18.1 just fine yesterday.
[19:04:00] praet: cs_yckad what distro are you running
[19:04:00] PoeticIntensity: today I got up, did some adjustments to my /etc/hostname and /etc/conf.d/domainname files
[19:04:00] PoeticIntensity: and when I load up mythtv now, it thinks my card is being used for recording when in reality, it is not.
[19:05:00] PoeticIntensity: can anyone think of why it would be doing that?
[19:05:00] Kelerion: PoeticIntensity.. seperate FE/BE?
[19:05:00] PoeticIntensity: yeah
[19:05:00] PoeticIntensity: mythbackend and mythfrontend
[19:05:00] _willcooke_: Juski, 1. Hello. 2. Yes, udev. 3. Did you build a VGA -> Scart convertor? 4. If you did, giz a look at your modelines.

[19:05:00] Juski: PoeticIntensity: use IP addresses instead of hostnames.. may as well, and they'll always be right ;)
[19:05:00] Kelerion: PoeticIntensity.. the mythtvdb stores your details against your hostname
[19:05:00] docelmo: Thats what I am getting
[19:06:00] PoeticIntensity: hmmm.....
[19:06:00] docelmo: It keeps showing up UTC
[19:06:00] Juski: thanks _willcooke_.. I built one but never got it working – I dunno if the TV I was testing on has an rgb input though
[19:06:00] PoeticIntensity: Kelerion: How do I go about changing that?
[19:06:00] praet: cs_yckad the ivtv driver is a capture card driver
[19:06:00] PoeticIntensity: and what details does it store?
[19:06:00] _willcooke_: Juski, I built one at lunch, piece of piss, and MAN that is a nice image!
[19:07:00] Kelerion: PoeticIntensity.. do a search and replace on the db.. and year (others!) I know this is bad advice.. lol
[19:07:00] PoeticIntensity: Oh.... The card I'm using is the PVR-250
[19:07:00] praet: PoeticIntensity does it work fine if you adjust yuour hostname back to what it was when you installed mythtv?
[19:07:00] Kelerion: year-yeah
[19:07:00] PoeticIntensity: praet: I'm not sure... I haven't tried

[19:08:00] ** _willcooke_ goes to eat dinner **
[19:08:00] Kelerion: PoeticIntensity.. do a search and replace on the db and replace your old hostname with your current ip.. and backup first
[19:09:00] docelmo: Kelerion, I found the Timezone setting in the DB but well didnt do much for me.. Is there a command of some sort I can run to confure this without going directly into the dB?

[19:11:00] docelmo: nevermind.. magically started working
[19:12:00] praet: PoeticIntensity ive done it and its no big deal.. just make sure that your search and replace is right (especially if you are removing . from the hostname)
[19:12:00] PoeticIntensity: praet: will do
[19:12:00] PoeticIntensity: thanks.
[19:12:00] Kelerion: or – in phpmyadmin.. run a sql command like "UPDATE tablename SET fieldname=REPLACE(fieldname, 'oldstring', 'newstring');"
[19:13:00] praet: btw: mythweb will not save config (like keymappings) changes to the backend if the hostname has a "." in it

I also don't want to delete all of my recording schedules because I want to re-enable them later.. is there a feature where I can disable new recordings and re-enable them later?
[19:19:00] Beirdo: just don't fill the database with new show info

[19:58:00] Beirdo: but the problem is...
[19:58:00] Juski: riksta: okay.. I might switch over to use EIT data one of these days then.. or can you do _both_ (i.e. use uk_rt and EIT) ?
[19:58:00] Beirdo: my asterisk box runs gentoo
[19:58:00] riksta: Beirdo, mine too
[19:58:00] Beirdo: and they borked realaudio support in mplayer
[19:59:00] Umaro: hey guys. This is a little bit off topic, but does anyone here have an ice1724 7.1 sound card? trying to get mine working with mythtv
[19:59:00] riksta: they did? it works here
[19:59:00] Beirdo: it insisited on installing X
[19:59:00] riksta: do you have the REAL use flag in package.use ?
[19:59:00] Beirdo: I had it
[19:59:00] riksta: add -qt -kde -X etc into USE in make.conf
[19:59:00] Beirdo: but that pulled in realplayer
[19:59:00] Beirdo: and that pulled in X
[19:59:00] Beirdo: even WITH -X
[19:59:00] riksta: hmm yeah
[19:59:00] riksta: i see what you mean
[20:00:00] riksta: hold on let me think
[20:00:00] Beirdo: and I will NOT install X on my asterisk box
[20:00:00] poop: not even libraries?
[20:00:00] riksta: you dont always have to, you can install the libs
[20:00:00] riksta: minimal x
[20:00:00] Beirdo: trust me, it went to install the server
[20:00:00] riksta: no no
[20:00:00] riksta: you an install minimal
[20:01:00] riksta: emerge xorg-x11 with minimal in the use flags
[20:01:00] riksta: i had to do that on my asterisk box
[20:02:00] riksta: because i use fisheye, which is a java app that needed some X libs to create the graphs/charts of cvs usage
[20:02:00] riksta: Beirdo, why not try to emerge them with --nodeps
[20:03:00] Beirdo: I considered that
[20:03:00] riksta: because realplayer is a bin
[20:03:00] riksta: i would try it
[20:03:00] riksta: i bet it works
[20:03:00] JoeyJoeJo: does anyone know where I can download the ppv.pl script that downloads listings for pay per view channels?
[20:03:00] riksta: yes
[20:03:00] riksta: google
[20:04:00] JoeyJoeJo: tried it
[20:04:00] riksta: lists?
[20:04:00] JoeyJoeJo: I found a link, but it was dead
[20:04:00] riksta: ah ok sorry dunno then
[20:05:00] Beirdo: yeah, I might try that again, riksta
[20:06:00] riksta: let me know

[20:06:00] Beirdo: hehehe
[20:06:00] Beirdo: there is an alternative
[20:06:00] riksta: i thought ud have been there
[20:06:00] riksta: i was going to suggest it
[20:06:00] Beirdo: OK, I know what to try next
[20:06:00] Beirdo: it wasn't there last time I looked
[20:06:00] riksta: i've read it before
[20:06:00] riksta: few months bk
[20:07:00] Beirdo: last time I tried was... about 6 months back
[20:07:00] _willcooke_: xv is fixed! Wanna know what I did to fix it?!?
[20:07:00] Beirdo: been busy
[20:07:00] riksta: Beirdo, do you know how to adjust the brightness on xv, mine seems way too bright compared to X11 and opengl
[20:07:00] _willcooke_: Well, I'll tell you anyway... nothing!
[20:07:00] Beirdo: I think you hit f
[20:08:00] Beirdo: during playback
[20:08:00] riksta: Beirdo, in general, not myth
[20:08:00] Beirdo: oh, no
[20:08:00] Beirdo: but I'm sure there's a way
[20:08:00] riksta: "XV_BRIGHTNESS" (range -128 to 127)
[20:08:00] riksta: client settable attribute
[20:08:00] riksta: client gettable attribute (current value is 0)
[20:08:00] _willcooke_: I think perhaps something was stuck with xv open
[20:08:00] riksta: i guess that would be it :)

[20:22:00] riksta: HA is home automation?
[20:23:00] Juski: yeh
[20:23:00] riksta: i already have some follow me stuff implemented for asterisk
[20:23:00] riksta: with bluetooth
[20:23:00] riksta: Beirdo, did you see that? http://adm.hamnett.org
[20:23:00] Beirdo: ah cool
[20:23:00] Juski: when I've got this damn dbox working in this room I'll be doing some whole house audio stuff
[20:24:00] riksta: it needs more work, but i'll do a follow me around my house plugin
[20:24:00] Beirdo: :)
[20:24:00] Arkkis: praet, no, I plugged my headphones directly in there and nothing
[20:24:00] Beirdo: I don't use bluetooth currently, but that is kinda cool
[20:24:00] Juski: don't be like that nutter who got himself chipped though ;-)
[20:24:00] Arkkis: picture is clear as anything, but no audio out from the card (and I think it's the model that uses external 3.5mm jack to deliver the audio)
[20:25:00] Arkkis: I can use mic, and mp3 with the system otherwise, and the card works wonders with the image, but no audio from it :(
[20:25:00] Juski: Arkkis: maybe you've got the wrong tuner set when the module loads.. autodetect doesn't always work
[20:25:00] Arkkis: hmm
[20:25:00] Beirdo: ccache is a godsend :)
[20:26:00] Arkkis: then I'll have to check more at the module department, bttv should load the sound too, right?
[20:26:00] riksta: Beirdo, yea :)
[20:26:00] riksta: and a hdd rape
[20:26:00] Beirdo: better than taking 10 years to compile on my Celeron 566 box
[20:26:00] riksta: Arkkis, did you set the mixer input to "capture"
[20:26:00] Beirdo: hehe
[20:27:00] Beirdo: too bad distcc is useless to me
[20:27:00] riksta: my god thats a crap box
[20:27:00] Juski: Arkkis: unless your card has an audio codec on it, you'll need to plug it into your soundcard
[20:27:00] riksta: distcc is the daddy
[20:27:00] Beirdo: half my machines are AMD64
[20:27:00] Beirdo: different platforms make HELL for successful distcc
[20:27:00] riksta: Beirdo, that doesnt matter does it?
[20:27:00] riksta: im sure you can cross compile
[20:27:00] Beirdo: yes, it does
[20:27:00] riksta: just as long as all distcc are same major and monr version
[20:27:00] Beirdo: you HAVE to cross-compile
[20:27:00] riksta: minor*
[20:27:00] Juski: is 64-bit worth the hassle yet? seen a lot of horror stories about getting myth working on that
[20:28:00] Beirdo: and they aren't
[20:28:00] riksta: god i wont touch 64bit yet
[20:28:00] Arkkis: Juski, umm, but should'nt I still get some sound out if I use phones directly in it?
[20:28:00] Beirdo: my machines have all different versions of stuff
[20:28:00] Beirdo: and the 64-bit ubuntu is nice and solid
[20:28:00] praet: Arkkis see your pm
[20:28:00] Beirdo: :)
[20:28:00] Beirdo: so far
[20:28:00] Juski: Arkkis: maybe it doesn't have enough oomph to drive phones
[20:28:00] riksta: Beirdo, untill you try to install something there is no package for ;)
[20:28:00] Juski: try some amplified speakers or something
[20:28:00] FunkyELF: where is the allow user job 1 setting?
[20:28:00] Beirdo: only thing so far is transcode
[20:28:00] riksta: Juski, nah
[20:28:00] Beirdo: and I don't care
[20:29:00] riksta: i do
[20:29:00] Beirdo: hehe
[20:29:00] Beirdo: I use ffmpeg for transcoding anyways
[20:29:00] Arkkis: praet, yep
[20:29:00] Beirdo: OK, lets see if this works
[20:29:00] riksta: me too really ;)
[20:29:00] riksta: mencoder and ffmpeg
[20:29:00] Arkkis: Juski, hmm
[20:29:00] riksta: and then dvdauthor
[20:29:00] Juski: Arkkis: if the tuner type is wrong and/or the video standard it has set are wrong, you won't get any sound.. tuners tend to mute it so you don't get that "schhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in your speakers ;)
[20:30:00] FunkyELF: I have a job that is just queued up and never runs. I looked on a forum and someone else had the same issue and they said once they enabled "allow user job #1" it worked

[20:30:00] Beirdo: using the overlaid ebuild technique using w32codecs
[20:30:00] riksta: why use an overlay?
[20:30:00] riksta: it works anyway
[20:31:00] Juski: anyone here ever made a very small embedded server? I'm thinking mini or nano itx, but if I can get smaller I'd like to use something like that for audio playback boxes & things
[20:31:00] Arkkis: so, is there a list of figuring out what tuner type to use?
[20:31:00] riksta: Juski, check this out http://www.soekris.com/net4501.htm
[20:31:00] Arkkis: Juski, I'm running an epia if that's what you mean
[20:31:00] Beirdo: because I don't want emerge --sync to overwrite the hack
[20:32:00] Arkkis: but not for mythtv
[20:32:00] riksta: Juski, dont think it can be used for what u want but they are damn cool and i was just looking at them when u said that

[21:15:00] FunkyELF: all I see if rtjpeg and mpeg-4
[21:15:00] bjohnson: need to coordinate a few stops with other people .. but it's looking like a possibility
[21:15:00] Beirdo: in nuvexport
[21:16:00] Beirdo: bjohnson: ahhh, cool
[21:16:00] bjohnson: are those goodies still available?
[21:16:00] FunkyELF: Beirdo, could you elaborate? What is nuvexport?
[21:17:00] bjohnson: btw, I use avidemux to transcode
[21:17:00] Beirdo: nuvexport is a program that will export to various formats
[21:17:00] bjohnson: and the config I usually use in avidemux uses ffmpeg
[21:18:00] FunkyELF: Beirdo, so you do this outside of mythfrontend?
[21:18:00] Beirdo: yes
[21:18:00] FunkyELF: ...or will nuvexport show up as a transcoder?
[21:18:00] FunkyELF: oh, okay....
[21:18:00] bjohnson: avidemux is a gui to use other video tools. I think nuvexport is similar
[21:18:00] Fitzsimmons: nuvexport is console
[21:19:00] FunkyELF: because I played around with transcoding and I could never get the resulting files to play on windows even tho they were mpeg-4
[21:19:00] FunkyELF: I installed "k-lite codec pack" on windows which usually takes care of every video format out there
[21:19:00] FunkyELF: ...still not playable
[21:20:00] bjohnson: it's tricky
[21:20:00] LarryLoungeLizar: orry to bother juski, i really like myth based on what i saw in debian, but now am really keen to get it working in kubuntu, it doesn't show even with multiverse enabled, do u have any suggestions, *please*, thanks.
[21:20:00] bjohnson: btw, you could also use ffmpeg with transcode

[21:41:00] sri: so I asked before and thought I would ask again as I can't seem to find anything in the archives.. but..
[21:42:00] sri: has anybody seen this problem where when you connect to a backend from another machine and the video/sound works for like 2s and then everything freezes
[21:42:00] sri: the error says "waiting for encoder"
[21:42:00] sri: but the backend doesn't say anything ohter than the client moved from None to LiveTV and then livetv to None.
[21:42:00] Kelerion: enough drive space?
[21:42:00] sri: hrm.
[21:43:00] sri: I didn't think of that.
[21:43:00] ** sri checks something **
[21:43:00] sri: bastard.
[21:43:00] ** Kelerion grins **
[21:43:00] sri: haha
[21:43:00] sri: actually, it's not enough space
[21:44:00] sri: it's more like I pointed mythtv backend to write it's stuff to /video
[21:44:00] Kelerion: which – doesn't exist?
[21:44:00] sri: but /video's dot directory was still owned by root while it's subdirs were owned by mythtv
[21:45:00] Kelerion: well.. there ya go then
[21:45:00] sri: yeah.
[21:45:00] sri: when you mentioned not enough drive space that triggered something.
[21:45:00] sri: thanks!
[21:45:00] sri: thats probably it.
[21:45:00] Kelerion: np

[21:47:00] sri: we've been yacking on the rhythmbox ML about mythtv sharing rhythmbox's music db in order to have one canonical music database.
[21:47:00] Juski: cos it doesn't seem to be working here
[21:47:00] sri: Kelerion: my sound wasn't working with 0.4.1 but works iwth 0.4.0 but it required me to downgrade to 2.6.12 :(
[21:47:00] sri: Kelerion: kinda annoying.
[21:47:00] kormoc: sri, why not just write a mythrythumbox plugin?
[21:48:00] sri: kormoc: the issue is more along the lines that if the database is updated mythtv needs to know, or if a user using mythtv updates the database there needs to be locking
[21:48:00] sri: I haven't split up the database from the ui from rb yet.
[21:49:00] sri: me and the maintainer were talking about it but he's off the net due to a bad adsl modem.
[21:49:00] NightMonkey: What is the current ivtv <-> kernel version compatibility matrix?
[21:49:00] sri: it's likely yes, that you want to write a plugin to use the database, but the issue is with teh database itself not mythtv.
[21:49:00] NightMonkey: Er, ivtv version <-> kernel version, rather.
[21:49:00] sri: ivtv 0.4.0 for 2.6.14 and below I believe
[21:49:00] sri: ivtv 0.4.1 for 2.6.15 and above.
[21:50:00] NightMonkey: sri: Thanks.
[21:50:00] sri: 0.4.0 doesn't compile with 2.6.15 :) (I should know)
[21:51:00] NightMonkey: What about the highest kernel version for the "old ivtv" versions, like the 0.2.X series?
[21:51:00] Juski: hmmm... timeout scanning Multiplex #7: no tables :-/
[21:51:00] kormoc: sri, I ment more, a plugin to use rythum box in myth itself

[21:58:00] Fitzsimmons: ohhhh
[21:58:00] willcooke_laptop: juski, I had the same problems. Asked about it in the dev channel and got no answer.
[21:58:00] Fitzsimmons: so you're saying that even without a capture card mythtv is worth it for the plugins alone
[21:59:00] corpix64: exactly, excuse my english
[21:59:00] willcooke_laptop: juski, I think it uses the "signal strength" and if it's less than x then ignores everything. In the end I did a scan > channels.conf and then imported that
[21:59:00] Fitzsimmons: corpix64: yeah, I agree. I'm thinking of doing that actually
[21:59:00] Fitzsimmons: game/video/music for the win

[22:00:00] Juski: the thing about the driver for my card is it always reports 100% signal strength
[22:01:00] corpix64: zapping with a dvb-s card is a pain though
[22:01:00] Juski: and the other aspects of the driver aren't reported properly anyway.. like the error rate is inverted & suchlike

[22:03:00] willcooke_laptop: Juski, which card?
[22:03:00] Juski: willcooke: leadtek lr6650
[22:04:00] Juski: I know it works.. got 2 in my gentoo box
[22:04:00] Juski: just seems like some of the dvb stuff has moved backwards
[22:04:00] Baylink: IIRC the ATI's NTSC out engine will scale, darkdrgn2k, so it doesn't matter. I don't *think* I'm thinking about the NVidia.
[22:05:00] willcooke_laptop: Juski, I agree, sorting out the channels is a real PITA, but once I got them all tidy it's been very stable.
[22:05:00] willcooke_laptop: Hmm, xvmc kills X, won't be using that then
[22:05:00] Juski: actually.. the scanning malarkey is better to use the dvb-utils

[22:07:00] Juski: yeh.. yous need to have a 100ft interface for all them long words
[22:07:00] willcooke_laptop: Juski, can you edit the PID's for a specific channel? Say for example I wanted to record the skin channel with the "hidden" video stream, or, when it comes back, xtraview. Or is that strictly for discussing in the pub?

[22:15:00] darkdrgn2k: willcooke_laptop: o.. thast my next purchase once i find one that works well with satalite
[22:15:00] GreyFoxx: though the livetv rewrite greatly lowered my channel change time which is nifty
[22:15:00] Juski: haha.. so that's why the plugins weren't there.. forgot to do a make install... oopsie

[22:33:00] darkdrgn2k: Juski: know any way to build a vga to svideo connector?
[22:33:00] riksta: can you make it in one box
[22:34:00] Juski: darkdrgn2l: you can get them on the flea-bay
[22:34:00] _willcooke_: riksta, only joking, I'll gladly make you one for free, but if you blow up your telly, you get to keep the pieces! :)
[22:34:00] Juski: a mate of mine uses one – he got tired of waiting for me to make him one
[22:34:00] riksta: hmm that sounds dodgy :s
[22:34:00] darkdrgn2k: Juski: LMAO any plans online?
[22:34:00] riksta: it could harm the tv then?
[22:34:00] ** _willcooke_ is bad at soldering **
[22:34:00] _willcooke_: riksta, slim chance, but yes.
[22:35:00] Juski: scroll up, darkdrgn2k
[22:35:00] riksta: i guess i could try it on a shit tv 1st
[22:35:00] riksta: what about the SVIDEO is that easier?
[22:35:00] _willcooke_: riksta, or.. I bought a s-video to scart from ebay for a 5er
[22:35:00] Juski: might take my box into work & look at it on a vectorscope :-P
[22:35:00] Kelerion: has breezy got some new firewall I'm not aware of?
[22:35:00] _willcooke_: a what now?
[22:35:00] riksta: yeah but i dont want tons of connections in to each other
[22:35:00] riksta: i want a simple thing i can take around with my laptop, i shuda got a fuckin laptop with tv out

[22:36:00] _willcooke_: composite is shite. svideo not too bad really, but RGB is the fooki' nuts
[22:36:00] Juski: I got my circuit to fit inside the scart plug
[22:37:00] _willcooke_: Juski, mine is on a bit of vero board about 6 inches wide! (I forgot to order the 3k3's, so I used 3 x 1k2 instead)
[22:37:00] riksta: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-to-Scart-lead-for-w . . . photohosting this looks ok but 25 squid?
[22:37:00] darkdrgn2k: any one know what the modline should look like for an NTSC output of a monitor
[22:37:00] riksta: ah radeon only anyway
[22:38:00] _willcooke_: riksta, 'kin rip off!
[22:38:00] _willcooke_: ricksta, thats about 3 quids worth of plastic and wire. No smarts in there at all
[22:38:00] riksta: that looked ideally what i wanted tho
[22:39:00] riksta: http://www.e.kth.se/~pontusf/vga2scart.html thats cool man

[22:43:00] ** _willcooke_ guesses whats coming greyfoxx **
[22:43:00] laga: GreyFoxx: you might wanna hunt down beavis ;)
[22:43:00] Beirdo: and butthead too
[22:43:00] laga: Beirdo: naw, he's not cool.
[22:43:00] GreyFoxx: riksta: I've been messing around with my settings on a dev box and I'm trying to figure out what I did to stop myth frm seeing eit events :)
[22:44:00] _willcooke_: greyfoxx, svn?
[22:44:00] GreyFoxx: I had it going this afternoon but have been turning things on and off hehe. I thought I hadit back to where it was but apparently not
[22:44:00] Juski: Beirdo: we're moving to smaller than 0406 soon at work
[22:44:00] GreyFoxx: _willcooke_: Yes
[22:44:00] laga: GreyFoxx: i believe there's a settting in mythtv-setup that says "use on-air guide". but i could be wrong, i don_'t even have DVB
[22:44:00] GreyFoxx: I had it going this afternoon
[22:44:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, hmm what kinda things did you tweak
[22:44:00] GreyFoxx: riksta: If it's dvb related it got played with :)
[22:44:00] riksta: haha
[22:44:00] riksta: man that leaves a lot of scope
[22:45:00] Juski: I'm glad importing a channels.conf works, cos the scanning doesn't work for me
[22:45:00] GreyFoxx: so What I'm really asking is, do you know exactly what you have to enable to get it working ?
[22:45:00] GreyFoxx: I have it enabled in the video source, I have it enabled on several channels
[22:45:00] _willcooke_: greyfoxx, try checking for something about "ignore tuning timeout"
[22:45:00] GreyFoxx: but it never seems to see the data
[22:45:00] Juski: GreyFoxx: watching & recording should make it kick in.. the catch being that the card has to be active I think
[22:46:00] GreyFoxx: Juski: Ok, I have myth set to always have the device open so I assumed that would be enough
[22:46:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, im not sure ping dopester
[22:46:00] GreyFoxx: It would be kinda lame to only pull data if you are in the middle of recoding
[22:46:00] _willcooke_: i think it has to be tuned as well
[22:46:00] Juski: it's called by the dvb recorder I think
[22:47:00] Juski: I read a lot of the source just out of curiosity
[22:47:00] GreyFoxx: the passive scanner should (as far as I thought) tune to one of the "useonairguide" channels when not recording
[22:47:00] piksel (n=piksel@129.244.135.192) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:47:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, it does
[22:47:00] riksta: there is a tickbox somewhere that says use onair guide, i think its in the card setup

[22:48:00] GreyFoxx: riksta: there is on in the video source, and I have that enabled
[22:48:00] Juski: oh yeah there's a new thing in the video sources setup page isn't there
[22:48:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, did you make sure it took effect in the database?
[22:48:00] riksta: Juski, it's hardly new, but yeah :)
[22:48:00] Juski: new to me, so it's new ;)
[22:49:00] riksta: :)
[22:49:00] ** _willcooke_ never got it to work, so gave up and went back to radio times **
[22:49:00] riksta: it worked perfectly for me
[22:49:00] GreyFoxx: riksta: The setting was still there when I next went , so it was properly written to the DVB, and I've restarted mythbackend several times
[22:49:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, yeah that's odd i must say
[22:49:00] Juski: actually.. I'll let you know in a sec.. it's not working for me either
[22:49:00] riksta: dopester, is the guy who wrote the EIT scanner so best to ask him
[22:50:00] laga: danielk should be able to tell you a few things as well ;)
[22:50:00] GreyFoxx: I kicked off live and it appears to be processing data now, but it's not doing it when in a passive mode
[22:50:00] laga: "passive"?
[22:50:00] GreyFoxx: the scanner has been largely redone from what dopester wrote
[22:50:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, well don't forget
[22:50:00] riksta: the guide data doesnt appear instantly
[22:50:00] riksta: it has to wait to be idle and hope across the transports
[22:50:00] GreyFoxx: laga: yeah, when not in use it will move through your list of on air guide channels gathering data
[22:50:00] riksta: s/hope/hop/
[22:50:00] riksta: GreyFoxx, it takes time
[22:51:00] laga: GreyFoxx: oh, ok. looks like i did not keep up with recent developemnt :)
[22:51:00] GreyFoxx: riksta: I'm not worried abvout the data, I just want to see it processing, with -v eit,suparser and watching the sql logs reveal
[22:51:00] riksta: yeah i get you
[22:51:00] riksta: did you update svn ?
[22:51:00] GreyFoxx: but it's only doing it when tuned to livetv, which means it's not working exactly as it was earlier today
[22:51:00] GreyFoxx: I always run svn
[22:51:00] GreyFoxx: and no I haven't changed it since it was working earlier :)
[22:52:00] riksta: no i mean did u check out today when it stopped
[22:52:00] riksta: ok :)
[22:52:00] GreyFoxx: just settings :)_

[23:01:00] _willcooke_: kelerion, or skip-networking in your my.cnf
[23:01:00] Kelerion: so it must be binding to a port.. right?
[23:02:00] GreyFoxx: Kelerion: How are you connecting to it ?
[23:02:00] _willcooke_: I think ubuntu disables networking by default
[23:02:00] GreyFoxx: if you are using the mysql command then it could just be using a local unix socket

[23:08:00] Juski: I looked at that, laga but didn't see any good replies on it
[23:08:00] tclhal: I've changed it in mythtv-setup to /dev/video0 but there is a "Input Connections" section in mythtv-setup that crashes because It can not probe /dev/video
[23:08:00] _willcooke_: juski, I've checked and cpu is low, disk io is low, it's just a bit odd.

[23:35:00] jcsmith|away: but eventually i want to hook the cable up to the tv also, i only have one hauppauge card and i'd like to be able to watch while recording and thats the cheap solution for the near term
[23:35:00] _willcooke_: hmm, good point. where is my pc chasis grounded, via the mb?
[23:35:00] Juski: anyone ever experienced shocks from their PC & TV.. like holding onto the PC case & touching a lead connected to a TV input.. ouchio
[23:35:00] Juski: _willcooke_: 0v on the PSU cables.. motherboard mounting points.. and where the PSU is held onto the chassis
[23:35:00] jcsmith|away: i've experienced shocks just from touching the tv and the cable at the same time
[23:35:00] _willcooke_: ahhhh
[23:36:00] Juski: which is just another reason why people who build perspex PC cases (mains powered) are losers
[23:37:00] _willcooke_: I was a bit worried about plugging in my dodgy scart cable in to the telly, the potential difference between the tv and the computer is massive volts
[23:37:00] jcsmith|away: you guys are much more electrically enclined than me, i'll stick to software :-P
[23:38:00] deego (n=user@63.126.179.162) Quit (SendQ exceeded)
[23:38:00] Juski: _willcooke_ if it's any more than 100V you're in trouble.. mine's about 70 I think
[23:39:00] _willcooke_: Juski, ever build that thing where you put a bit of tin foil on the screen and another to ground and get the two balls jumping about
[23:39:00] ** _willcooke_ will wears wellies when messing with the tv **
[23:40:00] Juski: er... we did that kind of trick to a guy @ work the other week
[23:40:00] _willcooke_: ooooof!
[23:40:00] _willcooke_: makes you swear
[23:40:00] Juski: I had my hand on a monitor...
[23:40:00] Juski: I wasn't grounded (like I ever am)
[23:40:00] _willcooke_: haha!
[23:40:00] Juski: zzzzzzzzzap!
[23:40:00] _willcooke_: lol
[23:41:00] lars-ut is now known as lars-ut-away
[23:41:00] Juski: right I've confirmed all me plugins are working.. xvmc can wait.. like forever
[23:42:00] _willcooke_: juski, dont you have to wear one of those shoe strap things?
[23:42:00] squeegy (n=mike@cpe-24-33-74-234.cinci.res.rr.com) Quit ("This computer has gone to sleep")
[23:42:00] Juski: nah
[23:42:00] Juski: as far as we know, nobody in our dept has ever killed a board with static
[23:42:00] _willcooke_: like wise
[23:42:00] Juski: apart from our EMC tester geezer
[23:43:00] Juski: he's nasty with that HT probe.. shoving 8kV into front panels...
[23:43:00] _willcooke_: He killed one of our secure telephones, 3 grands worth
[23:43:00] Raven_301 (n=raven_30@Kitchener-HSE-ppp3575131.sympatico.ca) Quit (Connection timed out)
[23:43:00] Juski: like "oh look the anodising has come away"
[23:44:00] _willcooke_: "what's that smell?"

[23:44:00] Juski: the UL approval process makes me laugh though
[23:44:00] NightMonkey: Hi, all. Anyone hear from zap2it about the nature of their problems? ETA?
[23:44:00] _willcooke_: UL?
[23:45:00] Juski: underwriters labs – they're needed to be able to sell stuff to the states
[23:45:00] _willcooke_: like CE?
[23:45:00] Juski: yeh only less so
[23:45:00] _willcooke_: that 110v for you!
[23:46:00] Juski: can't wait to get my hands on our next gen. DVR though (ssshh)
[23:46:00] FunkyELF: when to finished jobs go away from the job queue?
[23:47:00] Juski: FunkyELF: next time you go in there they should be gone
[23:47:00] _willcooke_: ooooo!
[23:47:00] _willcooke_: If there was a box with 2 or 3 dvb tuners and a 300gig hdd AND an ethernet port I'd probably scrap myth
[23:48:00] riksta: ?
[23:48:00] Juski: yeh like that's ever gonna happen
[23:48:00] _willcooke_: Juski, have you seen "Promise TV"?
[23:48:00] Juski: is that the thing the beeb R&D are tinkering with?
[23:48:00] Juski: 7 days continuous recording etc...
[23:48:00] riksta: that's tv on demand
[23:48:00] riksta: ntl do that
[23:48:00] Juski: yeh but _at home_

[23:49:00] riksta: ntl r trialling it
[23:49:00] Juski: ntl don't do that here yet
[23:49:00] _willcooke_: dunno, I suspect it's vaporware. It's supposed to record ALL dvb channels for 1 week, then you just choose the program and watch
[23:49:00] Juski: you seen the presentation? it's on the interweb thingy somewhere
[23:49:00] riksta: http://promise.tv/presentations.html
[23:49:00] Juski: that'll be it then
[23:49:00] riksta: nothing
[23:50:00] Juski: I expect they nicked a lot of code from some open source PVR or other
[23:50:00] riksta: i doubt it
[23:50:00] _willcooke_: I expect that when the V C runs out of cash, or they get bought out by Sky that'll be the end of it
[23:51:00] Juski: have you heard the one about $ky patenting a method of showing you adverts while you skip the adverts?
[23:51:00] Juski: oh how I laughed
[23:51:00] _willcooke_: WHAT?
[23:51:00] riksta: hahaha
[23:51:00] riksta: crack heads
[23:51:00] Juski: maybe they're just gonna use that patent to get one over on Tivo though
[23:52:00] riksta: http://promise.tv/opentech2005.html look at the last pic
[23:52:00] _willcooke_: I saw that thing about all HD TV's having to adhere to some "flag" that wont allow you to watch "backups" of your HD recordings
[23:52:00] _willcooke_: ricksta, looks familiart
[23:53:00] FunkyELF: Juski, I have user jobs that say they're finished and they finished a couple hours ago
[23:54:00] riksta: _willcooke_, do you reckon you could make one of those cables that i showed you with the audio plug too, if i pay ya?
[23:54:00] _willcooke_: ha! That picture at the bottom is clearly a pc with a shed load of sata discs and a load of dvb-t cards linked via the rf in rf out thing
[23:54:00] Juski: FunkyELF: in that case I dunno.. but my finished jobs tend to vanish when I go out of the status page & later go back into it
[23:54:00] riksta: _willcooke_, yes :)
[23:54:00] riksta: _willcooke_, you mean the "broadcast flag"
[23:54:00] FunkyELF: anyone here use the myth2ipod script for their video iPod ?
[23:54:00] Juski: you should see the presentation video... it looks very swish
[23:55:00] riksta: FunkyELF, i suggest posting to the users list
[23:55:00] Juski: saw my mate's Ipod photo the other day.. man now that's what I call a user interface.. not sure about the scrollywheel doing it's own thang but hey
[23:56:00] _willcooke_: riksta , yes that's it, the broadcast flag. I can do you a vga to rgb scart, the one with about 4 components that other is more Juski's bag
[23:56:00] riksta: Juski, oh yeah too right, it's award winning
[23:56:00] ** _willcooke_ was supprised by the quality of the screen **
[23:56:00] riksta: _willcooke_, i need the sound too :s
[23:57:00] _willcooke_: riksta, sound is easy. You stick a 3.5mm "headphone" jack on the pc end and then wire that in to the scart socket.
[23:57:00] Juski: riksta: I'm gonna have a go at making the advanced adapter..
[23:57:00] riksta: _willcooke_, yeah
[23:57:00] riksta: Juski, cool, ill check back on both of you :)
[23:57:00] Juski: I wonder where that guy had his PCBs made
[23:57:00] riksta: do you make PCBs?
[23:57:00] riksta: i remember making one years ago at school
[23:57:00] riksta: in some acid bath or something
[23:57:00] _willcooke_: a bit more advanced than my a-level UV transfers
[23:58:00] _willcooke_: riksta, thats the fella
[23:58:00] riksta: was kinda fun
[23:58:00] Juski: yeh but this guy's is double-sided – and they is a beeatch to do at home
[23:58:00] riksta: i bet
[23:58:00] ** _willcooke_ made a IR 9k6 data transfer module for a level electronics. **
[23:59:00] riksta: i made a cd rack
[23:59:00] riksta: for gcse ;)
[23:59:00] _willcooke_: I robbed the whole lot from a magazine
[23:59:00] Juski: for my Btec diploma I made an 8 channel disco lighting controller
