[00:35:00] Juski: UK
[00:35:00] EricL: How do I tell MythTV which card I want to be the primary for watching TV (since I just went from fully functional to completely non-functinal by adding the other card).
[00:35:00] Baylink: No, I meant your theme? Oh. Wasn't paying attention to which channel I was in. Soory.
[00:35:00] EricL: The second card slipped itself in as /dev/video0 and threw off all my settings.
[00:36:00] Juski: www.juski.co.uk.. and I ain't fishing for compliments by the way

[00:36:00] Juski: EricL: is it a different type of tuner card?
[00:36:00] doc_: hello...
[00:37:00] Juski: not usually an issue if it's the same kind of card ;)
[00:37:00] EricL: Juski: Yep. The original one is a PVR-250 and the new one is a old vanilla bt878 compat of some kind that I had lying around.
[00:37:00] Juski: should be easy enough to fix that
[00:37:00] defII: Can someone point me in the right direction? I was doing a dd of an image and somehow screwed my partition table up it wont let me use fdisk reporting that the cylinders are set wrong?
[00:37:00] EricL: Juski: I can imagine, but I just didn't want to drop another $100 on a new PVR-250.
[00:38:00] defII: this isnt a myth question but maybe you guys can help
[00:38:00] kormoc: EricL, just load ivtv before bttv and it should work fine
[00:38:00] doc_: mmm.. erm... can i ask something ? :)
[00:38:00] kormoc: EricL, a pvr 150 is only $60 some and works quite nice
[00:38:00] Juski: EricL: no – I mean should be easy enough to fix within mythtv – that happenned to my DVB-T tuner when I rebooted after installing a pVR150 ;)
[00:38:00] EricL: kormoc: They both seem to load simultaneously (since ivtv takes so long to fully load).
[00:39:00] Juski: just stop mythbackend & re-run mythtv-setup & put the settings right.. should do the trick
[00:39:00] EricL: Juski: I have tried completely resetting everything and still to no avail.
[00:39:00] doc_: uh... did anyone got this message using alsa ? NVR: Cannot open DSP '/dev/dsp', exiting open: No such device
[00:39:00] Juski: so remove the cards from mythtv & put them back, taking care to get it right
[00:39:00] kormoc: EricL, actually, kernel modules are single treaded and loaded one at a time
[00:39:00] EricL: Juski: That's what I did.
[00:39:00] Juski: doc_: is alsa actually loaded?
[00:39:00] doc_: Juski: yep
[00:40:00] doc_: Juski: loaded and running... i'm using ubuntu
[00:40:00] EricL: kormoc: Hmm, that's weird. IVTV started loading first and then bttv took the /dev/video0.

[00:41:00] Juski: doc_: only issue I had with ubuntu & alsa was that it didn't like the soundcard – luckily I had a spare the drivers work with
[00:41:00] EricL: It created /dev/video0 like it was supposed to (all the devices are there now I think) but the bttv is trying to play through Television and didn't create anything called Tuner0 like the PVR-250 card did.
[00:41:00] doc_: Juski: aha
[00:41:00] doc_: Juski: thanks :)
[00:41:00] Juski: doc_: maybe it's one for the #ubuntu channel.. not that they take any notice in there
[00:41:00] kormoc: EricL, are you using the tuner.ko from ivtv?
[00:41:00] doc_: right...
[00:42:00] Juski: doc_: the card I had bother with was some SB copy
[00:42:00] Juski: or was it ALS4000? something like that anyway
[00:42:00] doc_: Juski: i'm using a via (integrated on motherboard)
[00:43:00] EricL: kormoc: I was before, I am not sure if its loading properly now though.
[00:43:00] Juski: doc_: check it's loading the right module for the card.. and then check you can use it in other apps. I doubt it'll have anything to do with Mythtv
[00:43:00] kormoc: EricL, the ivtv tuner.ko tends not to work with bttv cards, they use the in kernel tuner.ko
[00:44:00] doc_: Juski: it looks like ... mythv & ubuntu != alsa :/
[00:44:00] Juski: or some other program might be grabbing the sound device
[00:44:00] doc_: Juski: i'll try with oss drivers
[00:44:00] kormoc: ubuntu might not have compiled in the alsa support
[00:44:00] EricL: kormoc: So you're saying that the two cards I have probably won't work together in the same machine?
[00:44:00] ** doc_ compiling **
[00:44:00] Juski: kormoc: wasn't any problem in my ubuntu box
[00:45:00] kormoc: EricL, the pvr 250 should work fine with the tuner.ko from the kernel tree, so you might want to make sure you are using that one
[00:45:00] Juski: so tired.. see yous tomorrow.. or whenever.. night y'all

[00:55:00] kormoc: maybe something else is loading it

[00:56:00] kormoc: have you ever wondered if your install was fubur? cause I would start wondering that if I was you
[00:58:00] EricL: I know my install is fubar.
[00:58:00] EricL: But it took so much hacking for me to get Myth to work once, I don't erally want ot go through it again if I can keep it working by just pulling out the second card.
[01:05:00] stealth: i reinstalled mysql from 5 to 4, and also reloaded mc.sql but when I run mythsetup I still get Table 'mythconverg.keybindings' doesn't exist

[01:09:00] stealth: which program should make the settings and keybindings table?
[01:09:00] kormoc: myth does on first run
[01:09:00] kormoc: I would drop database mythconverg, redo the mc.sql inport, and then go from there
[01:09:00] stealth: ive done that three times already
[01:10:00] stealth: probably more
[01:10:00] kormoc: when you first run mythtv-setup, you'll see an error then
[01:10:00] kormoc: that error is what you need to fix
[01:10:00] stealth: yep
[01:10:00] stealth: so.. i need to make keybindings and settings table manually?
[01:10:00] kormoc: no...
[01:10:00] kormoc: you need to figure out why the table update isn't working right
[01:11:00] kormoc: because the update does more then just those tables

[04:10:00] tanq: its like my shell script isn't even getting executed
[04:11:00] tanq: i stubbed it out with echo blah >/home/tanq/.mythtv/blah.out and it does nothing
[04:13:00] adrock_: maybe stub it out with /tmp/blah.out
[04:13:00] adrock_: mebbe you can't write to ~tanq

[04:13:00] tanq: so i should be able to write to tanq but i'll try that..
[04:15:00] tanq: nope

[04:22:00] GreyFoxx: stealth lemme guess
[04:22:00] a1cypher: Hello people.. I am having some problems with mythtv and I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
[04:22:00] GreyFoxx: installing 0.18.x ?
[04:22:00] stealth: yea
[04:22:00] GreyFoxx: With MySQL 5 ?
[04:22:00] stealth: no
[04:22:00] stealth: i recompiled with mysql 4
[04:23:00] a1cypher: When I first start myth I can play and record and everything seems ok (moderately anyway). After a couple minutes of playing TV, the thing freezes up for about thirty seconds at a time and I get barraged with: 2006-01–16 22:22:35.086 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. from mythtvbackend.
[04:23:00] a1cypher: This is really frustrating, I don't understand why MythTV has so much problems playing off the capture card when mplayer can play off the card live with no problems

[04:24:00] a1cypher: and when it is working I also get a bunch of pre-buffering pauses that stay there until I pause for a sec or two.
[04:24:00] GreyFoxx: stealth too much fo what was output to the console scrolls before anyone can see it
[04:24:00] a1cypher: Cyorxamp: send them to me. ;)
[04:24:00] GreyFoxx: if there was an error creating the mythconverg databsae it would be there

[04:25:00] Cyorxamp: lol
[04:25:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, http://pastebin.com/509166

[04:26:00] GreyFoxx: They still work then they are good for something, but it's up to you to determine if it's worth anything to you
[04:26:00] GreyFoxx: many vdr users use dxr3's
[04:26:00] Kyler_: I just upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.1 and ivtv 0.4.2. Captures are much better but I'm still getting pauses during playback. Sometimes they're so long that the program stops playing.
[04:26:00] Cyorxamp: i got a pc in the living room, but it uses the tv out on the gphx card you see
[04:26:00] alpha255: global backend setup channel frequency table .... I set this to us-cable for dishnetwork input to tuner right?
[04:26:00] alpha255: this i under mythtv-setup
[04:26:00] alpha255: is
[04:27:00] adrock_: i use a snapstream firefly remote
[04:27:00] GreyFoxx: stealth, show me the contents of your mysql.txt on pastebin
[04:27:00] adrock_: it uses the lirc_atiusb driver
[04:27:00] GreyFoxx: the one in ~stealth/.mythtv or if there is not a global one
[04:27:00] Cyorxamp: OK... theoritcal question time...
[04:28:00] Cyorxamp: I would like to blend the cable of my gphx card tv out with the tv out of the dxr3
[04:28:00] a1cypher: Kyler_: I am using a similar kernel and am having simmilar problems... hrmmm
[04:28:00] adrock_: theoretically, you have to be bright to be president
[04:28:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, http://pastebin.com/509346
[04:28:00] Cyorxamp: when mythtv decides to play a video, can it turn off output on my gphx card (on tv) and use dxr3 instead?
[04:28:00] Cyorxamp: thus avoiding interference?
[04:29:00] a1cypher: better question: can mythtv properly play a video?
[04:29:00] Kyler_: It wasn't always like this. When I first installed MythTV I didn't get skips even with four recording and one playing.
[04:29:00] GreyFoxx: Myth doesn't use dxr3's in any way, so you would have to code up a patch
[04:29:00] GreyFoxx: Cyorxamp: I use to use a dxr3 for output on one of my frontends a long time ago
[04:29:00] a1cypher: Kyler_: what kernel did you used to use?

[04:29:00] GreyFoxx: My old P166 frontend
[04:29:00] Kyler_: I was just at 2.6.13.4 but it was skipping a lot (with ivtv 0.4.0).
[04:29:00] sklav: hi guys anybody know a good howto for ubuntu? / debian
[04:30:00] adrock_: yes
[04:30:00] GreyFoxx: a1cypher: No, it can't play videos at all, we just like to us eup disk space
[04:30:00] adrock_: aberaccia.com
[04:30:00] Cyorxamp: so these dxr3's are worth nothing in terms of practability
[04:30:00] sklav: Kyler_, enabled dma
[04:30:00] Kyler_: DMA is on for my IDE drives. I'm doing software RAID with IDE and SATA.
[04:30:00] adrock_: sklav: http://www.abarbaccia.com/
[04:30:00] sklav: adrock_, its not working
[04:30:00] GreyFoxx: Cyorxamp: Currently not for myth, but like I said, you could just patch myth to send the mpeg data to it for decoding. I did it once, only took a couple hours to find my way through the code and add it
[04:30:00] adrock_: i spelled it wrong
[04:31:00] sklav: ok
[04:31:00] adrock_: follow that one, it rules
[04:31:00] sklav: i got it
[04:31:00] GreyFoxx: menus and such were on a monitor, but playback was on the dxr3
[04:31:00] Kyler_: I notice that mythcommflag is popping up in "top" a lot.
[04:31:00] GreyFoxx: then I hacked up X to dispplay on the dxr3, had a drive meltdown and lost the source to the X mods and haven't gone back to it since
[04:32:00] Kyler_: Is there an easy way (wrapper?) to make mythcommflag run "nice".
[04:32:00] Kyler_: ?
[04:32:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: I would say watch mysql logs to see exactly where the table creation is stopping
[04:32:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, mysql.txt look good?
[04:32:00] Beirdo: set it up to be that way, Kyler_
[04:32:00] tanq: anyone here use oss with myth?
[04:32:00] Beirdo: you don't need to do anything special
[04:33:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: are you 100% positive you are not using mysql5 ?
[04:33:00] GreyFoxx: what does mysql -v return ?
[04:33:00] Beirdo: tanq, yes, I use OSS
[04:33:00] adrock_: kyler_: i think mythcommflag does run nice'd
[04:33:00] tanq: my problem is that I am trying to control sound from mythtv, but I had to do it with a script
[04:33:00] tanq: Beirdo: how do you control sound with lircrc
[04:33:00] GreyFoxx: or that you don't have 2 versions installed and the server that is running is mysql5 ?
[04:33:00] stealth: version: 4.1.14
[04:33:00] stealth: i restarted mysqld upon recompiling mysql to 4
[04:33:00] Beirdo: I don't use lirc
[04:33:00] metalac (n=dejan@dsl254-028-151.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[04:33:00] Kyler_: mythcommflag has some "check every so often to make sure the load isn't too high" thing.
[04:34:00] tanq: Beirdo: what do you use?
[04:34:00] Beirdo: a keyboard
[04:34:00] tanq: bleh
[04:34:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: Yeah, but if the two versions where in different directories, say one under /usr and one under /usr/local you could easily be starting the wrong one. Just something to check anyway
[04:34:00] a1cypher: Does anyone here use Gentoo for their mythbox?
[04:34:00] tanq: Beirdo: I wrote this script http://pastebin.ca/37028 to do volume increase and i also have one for volume decrease
[04:35:00] metalac: hey anyone here knows if HDA Digital X-Mystique Sound Card runs on linux fine? i read somewhere that it supports only 4 channels, which defeats the purpose of having a 7.1 sound system i guess
[04:35:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, naa.. im using Gentoo so im pretty sure portage is pretty good about removing the old version
[04:35:00] a1cypher: and if so, should the standard ivtv that's in emerge work?
[04:35:00] Cyorxamp: is there any TV Tuner, that can save to mpeg4 directly?
[04:35:00] tanq: but i'm having problems with irexec
[04:35:00] stealth: a1cypher, trying to
[04:35:00] sklav: thanks for the link adrock_
[04:35:00] GreyFoxx: steealth, then I can only suggest checking your mysql logs, see where it's stopping
[04:35:00] alpha255: red_fox, mythtv-setup go me going thnx
[04:35:00] alpha255: go = got
[04:36:00] Cyorxamp: anyone know if there are any tv tuners than can hardware encode straight to mpeg4?
[04:36:00] adrock_: i don't
[04:36:00] Kyler_: I noticed that there are options for kernel scheduling. Any suggestions?
[04:36:00] GreyFoxx: the plextor
[04:36:00] GreyFoxx: and maybe some others
[04:36:00] Cyorxamp: i mean I got a Nova-T thing,but that does mpeg2 and the files are huge
[04:36:00] GreyFoxx: though the reports ?I've hear say the mpeg4 ones look kinda crappy
[04:37:00] adrock_: i would like to know which tuner/encoder and video card the developers run
[04:37:00] Cyorxamp: got a model number for that plextor GreyFoxx?
[04:37:00] GreyFoxx: u402 or something like that
[04:37:00] Kyler_: M402U?
[04:37:00] GreyFoxx: yup
[04:38:00] GreyFoxx: http://www.plextor.com/english/products/ConvertX2.htm
[04:38:00] Kyler_: That's a USB 2.0 device. It works well?
[04:38:00] Cyorxamp: hmm :S
[04:38:00] Cyorxamp: not quite what I expected
[04:38:00] GreyFoxx: No clue
[04:38:00] GreyFoxx: Like I said, I've just heard people say that mpeg4 captures from it look crappy
[04:38:00] GreyFoxx: but I've never seen it
[04:39:00] metalac: anyone using HDA Digital X-Mystique Sound Card ??
[04:39:00] Kyler_: I'd be willing to use MPEG-2 out of it.

[04:57:00] xpis: Because the version was updated in the time between the compilations of my client and server.
[04:57:00] Chutt: so upgrade again.
[04:57:00] GreyFoxx: Then just revert one versioon to match the other or update both ?
[04:57:00] xpis: I am, but it's taking forever to recompile
[04:58:00] xpis: And I want to connect in the meantime.
[04:58:00] a1cypher: I think it might be lircd that's causing my problems
[04:58:00] GreyFoxx: You should still be able to watch recordings
[04:58:00] Agrajag-: well.. the protocol version is there for a reason
[04:58:00] GreyFoxx: LiveTV will barf if versions differ but Watching a recording usually still works
[04:58:00] Chutt: GreyFoxx, this time it won't
[04:59:00] GreyFoxx: ahhh
[04:59:00] xpis: The server dumps the connection immediatly
[04:59:00] Chutt: xpis, buy a faster machine
[04:59:00] Chutt: if you want faster compiles.
[04:59:00] Chutt: or compile once, and install on both.
[04:59:00] a1cypher: watching the recording behaves exactly the same as livetv for me
[04:59:00] GreyFoxx: And or use ccache and distcc to spread the load to both machine
[04:59:00] a1cypher: I have to pause or I get prebuffering pauses
[04:59:00] xpis: One is 64-bit, the other is 32-bit
[05:00:00] xpis: otherwise, I would have done that
[05:00:00] Chutt: then distcc it.
[05:00:00] a1cypher: and then after a few minutes the whole thing locks up and mucks up X. then I have to restart X and I can watch TV (with prebuffering pauses) and the remote doesn't work. but it doesn't crash
[05:00:00] xpis: It's too late now, it's almost done
[05:00:00] Chutt: hell, just do both checkouts at the same time.

[05:38:00] Chutt: Cardoe, gentoo never added anything to faad.h to indicate that it's a modified version, did they?

[05:46:00] dtm: Cardoe: i would use an intel compatible frontend which has a geforce 4 440mx
[05:46:00] Chutt: the backend still doesn't do much on macos.
[05:46:00] dtm: Cardoe: my powerbook backend has an ATI Rage LT Pro 4MB though.
[05:46:00] dtm: Chutt: all i need the backend to do is copy the stream to the net and change the channel
[05:46:00] Chutt: and i'm not sure where you're going to get the driver for the pvrusb2 from
[05:46:00] dtm: Chutt: i need no encoding or stream processing
[05:47:00] Chutt: or the myth support for it.
[05:47:00] dtm: Chutt: what?
[05:47:00] dtm: from the intenret
[05:47:00] Chutt: the encoding and stream processing parts are the _easy_ ones.
[05:47:00] dtm: where you get all drivers
[05:47:00] Chutt: there's a myth compatible pvrusb2 driver for osx?
[05:47:00] dtm: i dont know why you'd wonder where the driver is from
[05:47:00] ** GreyFoxx giggles **
[05:47:00] dtm: Chutt: i have no idea. i'm using a linux backend.
[05:47:00] kormoc: dtm, link to the driver?

[05:48:00] Chutt: that's for linux
[05:48:00] dtm: right. we use linux drivers on linux, around these here parts
[05:48:00] Chutt: yeah, so why'd you mention macos?
[05:48:00] kormoc: <dtm> Cardoe: they just released the backend for macos and they already had the frontend.
[05:48:00] dtm: because it's ppc based, so it'll have somehting in common with ppc linux.
[05:49:00] dtm: it had failed due to asm
[05:49:00] Chutt: errr
[05:49:00] Chutt: no
[05:49:00] s34n: what are the pros & cons of hauppauge 150 vs 150 MCE? (under linux)
[05:49:00] Chutt: the patch to get the backend running on macos didn't touch any asm code
[05:49:00] GreyFoxx: s34n: The main diff is one comes with a remote and one doesn't
[05:49:00] kormoc: s34n, mce has a fm tuner and no remote, the nonmce has a remote and no fm tuner
[05:49:00] Chutt: afaik, the backend worked on linux-ppc years ago
[05:49:00] dtm: Chutt: i have no use for asm or anything else that's hardware specific
[05:50:00] dtm: Chutt: ok cool
[05:50:00] Chutt: including bttv support
[05:50:00] Cardoe: Chutt: well ivtv didn't work on PPC
[05:50:00] dtm: i'll maybe have to get cvs code or something. i dunno. but the SRPM from atrpms just wouldn't build due to asm.
[05:50:00] Chutt: right
[05:50:00] dtm: but it was a big bundle
[05:50:00] Cardoe: cause you damn crack monkeys just using "char x;"
[05:50:00] dtm: so i dont know why it used asm.
[05:51:00] Chutt: Cardoe, heh
[05:51:00] Chutt: barely anyone knows about that
[05:51:00] kormoc: Cardoe, so why exactly is that bad?
[05:51:00] Cardoe: Chutt: I didn't either until I got this PPC board.
[05:51:00] Cardoe: don't worry
[05:51:00] Chutt: regardless, myth on osx doesn't have terribly much to do with myth on linux-ppc.
[05:51:00] s34n: the WinTV401 seems to have more features for lower price. What's the catch?
[05:51:00] Cardoe: kormoc: because apparently only on x86 does "char" default to "signed char"
[05:51:00] Cardoe: kormoc: all other arches it's "unsigned char"
[05:51:00] Chutt: Cardoe, it's more than that
[05:52:00] Cardoe: It's also the amount of memory
[05:52:00] Chutt: and lots of places it doesn't matter, or people used uint8_t
[05:53:00] s34n: kormoc: any experience with the WinTV401?
[05:53:00] a1cypher: render1: One more thing and my mythbox will be *perfect*. I don't suppose you have the ir blaster working?

[10:34:00] Filip^: no, unless my GeForce 5700 can do that
[10:34:00] malaTG: I think that it will be enough I myself use a P3 733 with a pvr150 without any problems for both frontend a backend......
[10:35:00] malaTG: and a geforce 4 mx 440
[10:35:00] Filip^: There's no hardware decoding on a PVR150, is there?
[10:35:00] malaTG: no
[10:35:00] Filip^: Well, that answers that question already
[10:35:00] Filip^: Do AGP cards do hardware mpg decoding?
[10:36:00] Filip^: or is that the domain of the PVRs?
[10:36:00] malaTG: I think so however I am not sure
[10:36:00] Filip^: I guess I'll have to try.
[10:36:00] malaTG:
[10:36:00] Filip^: when you're decoding?
[10:37:00] Filip^: Then your card must be taking some of that load
[10:37:00] malaTG: exactly
[10:37:00] Filip^: Thanks
[10:37:00] malaTG: np
[10:38:00] malaTG: oppp sry checked it 40 % :-)
[10:39:00] Filip^: well, same difference
[10:39:00] malaTG: yea :-)

[10:58:00] juski: very handy!
[10:59:00] sona: whats that ?
[11:00:00] tanq: what is mythlink
[11:03:00] juski: mythlink is a script that goes through your recorded programmes directory & makes symlinks to the files, but with nice names
[11:04:00] Merlin83b: Ooh yeah, that is good.
[11:04:00] juski: google for mythlink to find it.. I used the one which was posted on the mailing list last year.. most spiffy
[11:04:00] Merlin83b: I just kind of accepted that it worked :-)
[11:05:00] juski: one I found at parkers.co.uk (or whatever) didn't work
[11:05:00] Merlin83b: KnoppMyth has it going from the start – I take it it's not part of the standard Myth installation then?

[11:06:00] juski: dunno.. could well be though.. it'd be in the contrib directory if it is

[11:08:00] _willcooke_: Whats the legal situation with this... "I record something for a friend of the TV, and then lend him the tape"
[11:08:00] mrproper_: Anyone here know why when i run: mythtv$ /etc/init.d/mythbackent start ---> start-stop-daemon: Unable to set initgroups() with gid 1000
[11:09:00] mrproper_: _willcooke_: i dont see a problem with it, if it was on free to air
[11:10:00] _willcooke_: That's good, I wonder what the deal would be with... "He FTP's it off my Myth box". A whole new kettle of fish?
[11:11:00] mrproper_: _willcooke_: i still dont see whats wrong with it provided it came from free to air, its not like anyone pays a subscription for access to content, and its essentially the same as a vcr, which under legal terms in most countries is allowed for 'personal use'
[11:12:00] Merlin83b: I don't think personal use includes lending it out.
[11:12:00] Merlin83b: A blind eye is turned to it but I don't think if push came to shove that it's legal.
[11:12:00] mrproper_: Merlin83b: but my point is, that its not like the other guy couldnt have done the same steps to get the content, so unless he was selling the recording i doubt theres any issues
[11:13:00] _willcooke_: Interesting.
[11:13:00] Merlin83b: As I said, a blind eye is turned. He could have recorded it himself but didn't.
[11:13:00] Merlin83b: I'm not certain, and ianal but I think it's illegal, strictly speaking.

[14:26:00] znoG: GreyFoxx: you've been using mythtv for 6 years?
[14:26:00] fryfrog: i'll he said databases
[14:26:00] GreyFoxx: znoG: databases. MySQL, postgres, Oracle, etc
[14:26:00] fryfrog: not myth :)
[14:26:00] darkfrog: znoG, I think he was referring to monkeying around in a database. :-p
[14:27:00] znoG: oh, just any db
[14:27:00] fryfrog: I have rsnapshot do hourly / daily / weekly backups of db (and files)
[14:27:00] GreyFoxx: Myth since sometime late in 2002/early 20003 I think
[14:27:00] znoG: it was usable back then?
[14:28:00] GreyFoxx: fryfrog: I use mysql replication to my backup machine, which is rsynced to another machine and that gets dumped to tape. Plus I do nightly sql dumps and keep 10 days of backups on the drive if need be
[14:28:00] darkfrog: l8r guys, and thanks again GreyFoxx
[14:28:00] darkfrog (n=Matthew@adsl-68-89-12-209.dsl.okcyok.swbell.net) Quit ("Leaving")
[14:28:00] GreyFoxx: znoG: Of course
[14:28:00] GreyFoxx: Obviously it's a very different beast now
[14:28:00] GreyFoxx: but it was usable
[14:29:00] stealth: ::sigh::
[14:29:00] GreyFoxx: And once the ivtv/pvr250's came along everything got much better
[14:29:00] sphing: GreyFoxx: thats insane
[14:29:00] GreyFoxx: cause then I could retire the tired old bttv cards
[14:29:00] znoG: yea i'm still stuck with a framegrabber, but I plan on getting a pvr one day
[14:29:00] GreyFoxx: stealth lemme guess, still the same table creation problem ?
[14:30:00] znoG: stealth: i installed mythtv from svn just recently and the settings table got created along with the rest
[14:30:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, yes
[14:30:00] stealth: znoG, lucky
[14:30:00] GreyFoxx: and have you looked at mysql logs to see where it's stopping like I mentioned ?
[14:30:00] GreyFoxx: to try and figure out what is failing ?
[14:31:00] stealth: yep.. nothing in the lgos
[14:31:00] stealth: logs
[14:31:00] GreyFoxx: You must see the create statements or something, if not then the logs are not turned on
[14:31:00] GreyFoxx: I would imagine they are off by default for most people
[14:32:00] stealth: I do so logs.. just nothing about myth
[14:32:00] stealth: like 060116 23:35:50 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43759
[14:32:00] GreyFoxx: Hehe
[14:32:00] GreyFoxx: log into mysql as the mythtv user from the commandline
[14:32:00] GreyFoxx: do an sql statement
[14:32:00] GreyFoxx: then check the logs and see if you see it
[14:33:00] GreyFoxx: ummm and you are looking at the sql log right? Not just the error log?
[14:33:00] stealth: would that be mysql.log ?
[14:33:00] GreyFoxx: Cause the error log is for mysql failures (drive access, permissions, etc)
[14:34:00] GreyFoxx: it doesn't log sql errors
[14:34:00] stealth: in /var/log/mysql i have mysql.err mysql.log and mysqld.err
[14:34:00] GreyFoxx: stealth sounds likely

[14:34:00] stealth: yea theres nothing in that file

[14:38:00] GreyFoxx: I have logging on all the time so I rarely have to switch it on or off
[14:38:00] znoG: mysqladmin reload ?
[14:39:00] Merlin83b: Nope, needs a restart.
[14:39:00] stealth: and that would just be the "log" statement? seems i have a log-error already. log=/var/log/mysql/mysql.sql.err ?
[14:39:00] znoG: actually that just reloads the grant tables
[14:39:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: YEah, just "log"
[14:39:00] GreyFoxx: znoG: yeah, reload is equivalent to flush privileges;

[15:08:00] Merlin83b: Grr, still lots of prebuffering pauses.
[15:09:00] Merlin83b: SVN 8625
[15:09:00] juski: Merlin83b: yeah but is playback okay?
[15:09:00] Merlin83b: Not really, the prebuffering pauses are matched by little pauses in the playback.
[15:09:00] Merlin83b: Although FE is using lots and lots of CPU.
[15:09:00] Merlin83b: Not sure why, XvMC seems to be working.
[15:10:00] sphing_: Merlin83b: grep through the XFree or Xorg logs for xvmc and drm
[15:10:00] juski: could well be time to ask if anyone else is using an EPIA board with SVN
[15:10:00] sphing_: and make sre its working
[15:10:00] sphing_: juski: non svn
[15:10:00] sphing_: *not
[15:10:00] sphing_: out of curiousity why....?
[15:11:00] Merlin83b: I'm using an Epia.
[15:11:00] etnoy: how quick is myth with older hardware?
[15:11:00] sphing_: define quick and define old
[15:11:00] Merlin83b: Heh.
[15:11:00] juski: in 0.18 I get 15% CPU usage with XVMC enabled on my EPIA f/e
[15:12:00] etnoy: I have set up a dev box which runs myth svn, but even going through menus is very slow
[15:12:00] sphing_: hehe... my backend is a p3 500
[15:12:00] etnoy: it is a pII 350
[15:12:00] Merlin83b: juski: Yeah, usage stayed much lower before I used svn.
[15:12:00] etnoy: it is only running a frontend
[15:12:00] znoG: are there any requirements for XvMC to work?
[15:12:00] juski: znoG: yeh – graphics hardware that supports it
[15:12:00] znoG: ah, right, that's what I was after.
[15:13:00] stuarta: and xvmc libs to support the hardware.
[15:13:00] Merlin83b: I guess I'll have a bot more of an investigate later so I can post a more informed mail to the lists.
[15:13:00] znoG: any way to know if a card supports it?
[15:13:00] juski: ATI doesn't.. most nvidia does.. Via Unichrome _can_
[15:13:00] stuarta: juski: Newer ATI's do...
[15:13:00] juski: do they? news to me
[15:14:00] juski: or should I say.. "at long last"
[15:14:00] stuarta: look at the specs of x1800 :)

[15:14:00] stuarta: however, I'm don't think the drivers have caught up yet.
[15:14:00] juski: ATI have been helping decode mpeg2 since the year dot.. just not in linux
[15:15:00] stuarta: really? Most of the cards I've seen don't claim to do mpeg in hardware
[15:15:00] etnoy: is there any way to speed up menu browsing in the frontend? my slow hardware is a pain to even navigate in the menus with
[15:15:00] stuarta: except the most recent ones.
[15:15:00] etnoy: I don't use liveTV
[15:16:00] juski: I have an all-in-wonder PCI thingy that came with mpeg demo videos to demonstrate mpeg acceleration

[15:17:00] etnoy: using Ubuntu, is there any libraries that might speed up QT?
[15:17:00] etnoy: it seems too slow for menues
[15:17:00] juski: only one thing will speed up the GUI.. use a lower res or get better hardware
[15:17:00] etnoy: juski: okay
[15:17:00] juski: oops that was two things
[15:18:00] juski: that might all change when the GUI moves to opengl though
[15:18:00] etnoy: juski: okay, so it doesn't use GL now?
[15:19:00] etnoy: that would at least give me one heck of a speed increase, letting the weak cpu to be off-loaded by the GPU (which probably has a higher clock frequency :)
[15:19:00] juski: nope.. mostthe stuff is done with QT
[15:19:00] etnoy: juski: can QT be set to use opengl? or does it need to be rewritten?
[15:20:00] juski: if QT could be used with opengl I don't think anyone would be rewriting the GUI code
[15:20:00] etnoy: juski: okay, got that :)
[15:21:00] etnoy: on to another issue, on my primary (and fast :) myth box
[15:21:00] etnoy: I have three old zombie recordings, recordings that somewhen disappeared from the disk
[15:21:00] etnoy: they are still present in myth and cannot be deleted since the file cannot be found
[15:21:00] juski: easy
[15:21:00] etnoy: do I need to do a mysql command?
[15:21:00] juski: look in the backend log to find out the missing files' filenames
[15:22:00] juski: then create dummy files with those filenames
[15:22:00] etnoy: oh, and create dummy files.
[15:22:00] etnoy: creative ;)
[15:22:00] juski: then delete them in mythtv
[15:22:00] juski: safer than mangling your DB
[15:22:00] etnoy: I'll give that a shot, I just thought of a manual database update
[15:22:00] etnoy: yup
[15:23:00] etnoy: since I use 0.18.1 on the production box, how is LiveTV and myth in general in svn?
[15:23:00] stuarta: improving
[15:23:00] juski: etnoy: livetv is great. mythmusic is MUCH better
[15:23:00] etnoy: is it a breeze to use (except of bugs)
[15:23:00] etnoy: juski: mythmusic, that was good news
[15:23:00] juski: more niggles than bugs I think
[15:23:00] etnoy: I cried when trying to use it before :)
[15:23:00] juski: now takes a fraction of the time to load, and there's a really good search feature now
[15:24:00] etnoy: juski: so 0.19 might be quite close?
[15:24:00] stuarta: juski: Is mythmusic capable of handling a few thousand songs without crawling yet?

[15:24:00] juski: stuarta: I've got thousands of files.. and it loads up in but a couple of secs in svn
[15:25:00] stuarta: More in terms of adding songs to a playlist
[15:25:00] etnoy: I think of switching to svn on the production box, but that requires that it is mostly crash-free as of now

[15:25:00] juski: etnoy: the frontend was pretty stable, and I never made the backend fall over in a week of testing
[15:26:00] etnoy: 0.18.1 crashes a lot, so a few crashes per week would actually be an improvement
[15:26:00] juski: when I'm testing my theme edits, 0.18 segfaults more often
[15:26:00] etnoy: juski: that's great.
[15:26:00] juski: which isn't very often at all
[15:26:00] etnoy: okay
[15:26:00] Merlin83b: juski: (or anyone else for that matter) do you know where the setting (apparently db not menus) for Chromakey OSD is?

[15:26:00] Merlin83b: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/172591 seems to point to that being likely and was posted ever so recently.
[15:26:00] stuarta: backend is rock solid, liveTV is just about there...
[15:27:00] juski: svn is pretty solid, but it depends if you get unlucky or not.. like with the recent DVB changes
[15:27:00] ** stealth is unlucky **
[15:27:00] juski: Merlin83b: no idea.. probably the settings table.. and it has no primary key so you can't search it AFAIK
[15:27:00] ** stuarta hands stealth the glue & sticky tape. **
[15:28:00] Merlin83b: I had a look in these.
[15:28:00] Merlin83b: there

[15:38:00] Kelerion: means it's trying to store a 42k value in a 1k field

[15:38:00] Kelerion: storing *something* thats bigger than 1k

[15:40:00] stuarta: they are in Hz
[15:41:00] stealth: they are?

[15:45:00] fryfrog: does anyone use ivtv 0.4.2, 2.6.15 kernel, lirc and have the "bttv" driver compiled into kernel (as a module)? LIRC force-loads the bttv module if it exists. I've over come this by commenting out that portion of the code in LIRC, but I was hoping there was a better way?
[15:45:00] Kelerion: geez.. the mysql server recieved 524mb and sent 807mb in a week
[15:45:00] Kelerion: thats a lot of sql queries
[15:46:00] Kelerion: only averages 3–4mb an hour though.. so that ain't too bad
[15:46:00] stuarta: Kelerion: how did you get those numbers?
[15:46:00] juski: Kelerion: using DVB-EIT?
[15:46:00] Kelerion: I asked it in a polite voice and it gave them to me?
[15:46:00] Kelerion: juski: not using dvb at all yet
[15:46:00] juski: wah?!
[15:47:00] stuarta: perhaps I haven't read that section of the Mysql TFM
[15:47:00] juski: that's a lot of queries for it sitting there not doing much though
[15:47:00] Kelerion: stuarta: lol.. phpmyadmin reports it
[15:47:00] juski: or maybe mythfilldatabase is making up the average
[15:47:00] stuarta: ahh...
[15:47:00] Kelerion: it is doing a lot.. it's recording about 20 shows a day

[15:49:00] etnoy: in Sweden we only have a handful of free-to-air channels, not too much to watch
[15:49:00] juski: I think the aspect change detection should work really well on a lot of shows that are 4:3
[15:49:00] stealth: whats different by location.. isnt there always a blank frame to look for ?

[15:50:00] juski: stealth: I commflagged '24' on Sunday... it didn't snag a single ad break

[15:50:00] dasOp: named 24 cotnains around 10 of them
[15:50:00] etnoy: juski: you mean that it deleted all the ads?
[15:50:00] juski: the station bumpers were hard edits into the commercials
[15:50:00] juski: so mythtv missed them all

[16:47:00] Merlin83b: Oh, MII has the new chipset – not sure on driver support for that yet.
[16:47:00] juski: _null: MII chipsets are covered in the unichrome driver I think

[16:50:00] _willcooke_: _null, plenty
[16:50:00] Merlin83b: No probs juski, just fix mine and I'll be happy :-)
[16:50:00] juski: lol
[16:51:00] _null: _willcooke_, ok, but does the bios have any netbooting code?

[16:53:00] laga: Beirdo: i think you should try and extract the one from the mythtv package. it's in multiverse

[16:54:00] Beirdo: yeah, maybe
[16:54:00] Beirdo: :)
[16:54:00] stealth: ahhhh\
[16:54:00] Beirdo: I'll look at that, I guess
[16:54:00] juski: ends up being called mythtv-backend in the init.d section
[16:54:00] _null: juski, i can't see any tv-out board based on m-10k... only m2–10k
[16:54:00] Beirdo: for now, I'll just comment out the start/stop lines in my custom makefiles :)

[17:01:00] sona: juski: thanks
[17:01:00] juski: _null: mythtv doesn't support FM tuners at all
[17:02:00] _null: :( isn't there a plugin or something like that?
[17:02:00] Beirdo: it will be fun to get a slave backend running for a short time

[17:02:00] Beirdo: then shut it down
[17:02:00] Beirdo: heh
[17:02:00] xpis: Is it by design that mythtv won't delete nuv files immediately when recordings are deleted?
[17:02:00] dagfinnr: is there any way to see what frequency table mysql is using? shouldnt it be using the same as ivtv-tune ?
[17:02:00] juski: _null: there was, but it won't compile against 0.18.1
[17:02:00] _null: hm
[17:03:00] juski: but.. DVB radio is coming :)
[17:03:00] _null: i don't have dvb here...
[17:03:00] stealth: im dong this http://home.earthlink.net/~wing549/mysql-sql.log PLEASE help.. nothing on google ruuing mysql 4.1.14 and mythtv 0.18.1-r2
[17:03:00] _null: only analog.
[17:03:00] Beirdo: yeah, a fat lot of use THAT is, juski
[17:03:00] Beirdo: heh
[17:03:00] xpis: dagfinnr: the frequency table is hardcoded into mythtv.
[17:03:00] juski: _null.. you've only got 6 to 100 years til analogue is switched off
[17:03:00] Beirdo: xpis: not really
[17:03:00] GreyFoxx: xpis: In 0.18.x it's "immediate", in SVN there is a minor (under half second?) delay I think
[17:04:00] Beirdo: the frequency for each channel is stored in the db
[17:04:00] phatmonkey (n=phatmonk@65.98.2.81.in-addr.arpa) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:04:00] xpis: You can specify your own, but the channel->frequency table is hardcoded.
[17:04:00] stealth: omfg
[17:04:00] stealth: are there any devs in here?
[17:04:00] Beirdo: jeez
[17:04:00] sphing: GreyFoxx: would you happen to know if a module can be insmodded but gives unresolved symbols with depmod
[17:04:00] _null: juski, think this will take about 5 years... we don't have *one* hdtv stream here right now. you can have digital tv, but they sell it at a much higher price... so i'll stay with analog a bit ;)
[17:04:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: yes
[17:04:00] Beirdo: the DEFAULT channel->frequency mapping is hardcoded
[17:04:00] GreyFoxx: some looking at their screens, and some not of course :)
[17:04:00] Beirdo: and is mandated by the FCC, etc
[17:05:00] Beirdo: channel 3 in NTSC is always at the same frequency
[17:05:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, well ive done everything by the docs, recompiled mysql, qt, new versions of mysql and myth.. and i get the same thing what do i do now
[17:05:00] Beirdo: but for tuning, the frequency to tune is taken from the db, you can override at will
[17:05:00] GreyFoxx: sphing: I don't understand what you are asking
[17:06:00] xpis: Is there any way to force immediate cleaning of old nuv files? (from live tv and deleted shows)
[17:06:00] sphing: I have this driver for a card for something totally not myth related, but the driver compiles, then I insmod it, and it doesnt give any errors, however I copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.32 and run depmod and it says unresolved symbols
[17:06:00] stealth: ::sigh:: no support
[17:07:00] Beirdo: are you running that kernel?
[17:07:00] adante: if i want to use alsa, the sound is set to ALSA:default, what should i use as the mixer device?
[17:07:00] sphing: Beirdo: yes
[17:07:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: I looked at the sql log you sent, ummm did you drop the database before you made that log so that you could see where table creation is stopping ? Cause the SQL you posted didn't contain any table creation lines so the database was at least partially existing already
[17:07:00] Beirdo: dunno then, sphing
[17:07:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, yes the mpeg video shows me dropping the database..
[17:08:00] stealth: the mpeg should be the whole shebang
[17:08:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: I don't care about the video
[17:08:00] laga: adante: wiki.mythtv.org has some information
[17:08:00] sphing: Beirdo: yea its weird
[17:08:00] GreyFoxx: You are so missing my point
[17:08:00] stealth: indeed
[17:08:00] GreyFoxx: the purpose of the SQL logs was to see where FRONT SCRATCH the table creation was halting or failing
[17:08:00] GreyFoxx: FROM I meant heh
[17:09:00] stealth: i dropped the mythconverg db, reloaded mc.sql, started mythsetup
[17:09:00] _null (n=null@kladde.org) has left #mythtv-users
[17:10:00] GreyFoxx: stealth: In the video yes, but in the SQL log you posted did you also do that? Cause there is no logged entry of your drooping the database or loading in mc.sql in that logfile either
[17:10:00] adante: laga: thanks

[17:10:00] dagfinnr: xpis, but when i enter the freq in hz it cannot be found/doesent detect, but when i do the same with ivtv-tune -f[freq] .. everything works, and the frontend changes to the given channel in ivtv-tune
[17:10:00] stealth: GreyFoxx, the sql log is just from mythsetup.. mc.sql dosent have anything on table creation anyway
[17:11:00] GreyFoxx: Again, you are missing my point
[17:11:00] GreyFoxx: I was asking you for logs from the START of the process
[17:12:00] Beirdo: well, I'm gonna go get fooood
[17:12:00] GreyFoxx: but even if it was just from after mc.sql(which you don't need to keep loading, a create database mythconverg; would do the trick)
[17:12:00] stealth: im trying to go by the docs
[17:12:00] GreyFoxx: then there should be some table creation lines whcih are not there This implies that some of the tables are still existing after your dropping of the database which makes no sense

You can also specify an amount of disk space that is not to be used by myth if you store other things than just recordings on the drive

[17:56:00] fryfrog: FINALLY! medical evidence! "Baby, sex will cure your cold... trust me!" http://english.pravda.ru/printed.html?news_id=14708
[17:57:00] dagfinnr: juski, im in norway
[17:57:00] juski: in either case you'd have to be using europe-west in mythtv-setup
[17:58:00] juski: gotta love pravda
[17:58:00] dagfinnr: im using the europe-west ..
[17:59:00] adante: when using alsa, when you mute a stream is there any reason mythfrontend sets the volume to 0 instead of just muting the channel?
[17:59:00] dagfinnr: all of the freq's work with ivtv-tune, none work with myth
[17:59:00] juski: well.. that should make finding the MHz a lot easier
[17:59:00] adante: i can hear very faint residual sound even when master volume is set to 0.. but not when uted
[17:59:00] adante: muted
[18:01:00] juski: dagfinnr: what's the E number that works?
[18:01:00] dagfinnr: juski, yeah, but if i enter "hello_this_DOESNT-work" or 161250000 in the freqid column, i get the same; nothing (cant change to that channel
[18:01:00] dagfinnr: E5-E12
[18:02:00] dagfinnr: but most of the channels arent on the E thingie
[18:03:00] dagfinnr: also ive tried all other chars (A-Z)9 ..but no luck
[18:03:00] dagfinnr: in my list from upc (cable provider) i have chars K and S, K seems to be equal to E.
[18:04:00] dagfinnr: and the freq in mhz with ivtv-tune seems to give me the right channels that the list describe
[18:09:00] gakalkag: used to use upc too. worked for me

[18:16:00] Beirdo: I don't recall, but I think MHz * 16
[18:16:00] dagfinnr: didnt work for me, but i didnt suppose this would work without spending 1000000 hours getting it working

[18:19:00] Beirdo: at least the code in svn
[18:19:00] dagfinnr: yahoo, now it suddenly worked
[18:19:00] dagfinnr: kHz is the deal it seems like
[18:19:00] juski: dagfinnr: look ^^^^
[18:19:00] Beirdo: channel number as valid for your TV Format or exact frequency in Hz is what the code says
[18:20:00] Beirdo: if it works with kHz, perfect
[18:20:00] Beirdo: maybe that changed at some point, dunno, just going by what the text says
[18:20:00] gakalkag: my freq http://pastebin.ca/37099 using upc in stavanger
[18:21:00] bhobw: is it possible to get mythtv working with a touchscreen?
[18:21:00] dagfinnr: yeah, youre using kHz too i see
[18:22:00] gakalkag: only thing that worked for me
[18:22:00] dagfinnr: me too it seems

[18:26:00] juski: bhobw: no it's not.. for that you'd need mouse support to work
[18:26:00] juski: and mythtv doesn't support mices

[18:30:00] juski: .. and the IT guys don't believe me. oh well.. it's their loss
[18:31:00] dagfinnr: gakalkag: hmm, would they be switching all over to iptv?
[18:31:00] gakalkag: lyse cabel over ip.
[18:31:00] gakalkag: i dont like the box

[19:23:00] kormoc: JoeyJoeJo, habit.
[19:23:00] xris: it doesn't anymore, as you see
[19:24:00] xris: it was convention. files were chanid_starttime_endtime.nuv. in svn, there's now a database field for storing the filename, so it can be whatever you want.
[19:24:00] JoeyJoeJo: I see.. I though that there was something different about the file when it was named nuv

[22:14:00] sphing: Beirdo: that cute comment is cute
[22:14:00] jasta: /proc might contain at least one file that you might want to backup.

[22:14:00] stuarta: the files don't exist
[22:14:00] jasta: defII: They are not files. It is a filesystem module that operates as an interface to the kernel.
[22:14:00] Beirdo: jasta: you can't mirror /proc, /proc is autogenerated by the kernel
[22:14:00] sphing: the files arent real
[22:14:00] jasta: Beirdo: I know, and it may contain at least one file that you might want to backup. :)

[22:16:00] jasta: defII: No, it does not. /dev is often virtual as well.

[23:41:00] john34: I need some help "i cant seem to load ivtv to see my pvr-250" anyone out there"
[23:43:00] nick3_: Hello, I'm having a lot of "prebuffering pause" errors when I try to watch anything with Mythfrontend (Live TV or Recorded). I can play recorded files just fine with mplayer without any hiccups. "mplayer /dev/video0" works fine as well. I've got a PVR-500, so I don't think CPU utilization is a problem. It seems like only Mythfrontend is having a problem.
[23:43:00] nick3_: john34, what do you get when you try to modprobe ivtv
[23:45:00] kormoc: nick3_, did you check CPU utilization before ruling it out?
[23:46:00] fryfrog: nick3_: it uses not much cpu to record, but playback will still use cpu... so if you have a p233mmx or something :)
[23:46:00] nick3_: hmm... mythfrontend is taking up all my CPU
[23:46:00] nick3_: I've got an AMD Athlon XP 2100+
[23:47:00] nick3_: Oh, I've also never had this problem before (I've been running myth for about 1.5 years on this machine)
[23:47:00] fryfrog: i do it on a 1600+, so thats not too bad
[23:47:00] kormoc: nick3_, are you using a nvidia card?
[23:47:00] nick3_: It appears that the problem may have started when I did an "emerge --update world"
[23:47:00] nick3_: kormoc, yes
[23:47:00] nick3_: kormoc, I'm using the NVIDIA drivers as well
[23:47:00] kormoc: nick3_, downgrade to nvidia driver 7676 or lower
[23:47:00] kormoc: nick3_, there's a bug in the current 8xxx drivers that cause that
[23:48:00] fryfrog: nick3_: i'd suggest "emerge -uDNav world" in the future
[23:48:00] fryfrog: nick3_: as well as what kormoc suggests :)

[23:48:00] nick3_: nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1.ebuild
[23:48:00] nick3_: Is that one ok?
[23:48:00] kormoc: nick3_, yup
[23:49:00] fryfrog: you'd use "emerge =nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1" btw
[23:49:00] nick3_: I got that ;)
[23:49:00] jonase: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread . . . um_id=435048 could you help me with this?
[23:50:00] fryfrog: does the 8xxx series cause *myth* to use a lot of cpu or X to?
[23:50:00] kormoc: fryfrog, it causes anything that uses opengl vsync to eat cpu, in this case, mythfrontend
[23:51:00] nick3_: brb

[23:54:00] fryfrog: ahhh
[23:55:00] fryfrog: so you could *also* optionally turn off vsync?

[23:55:00] nick3_: Thanks, that fixed the problem
[23:55:00] Kabutor (n=kabutor@88.7.70.1) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:55:00] kormoc: fryfrog, sadly, it doesn't seem like setting vsync=0 via nvidia-settings or the env var works
[23:55:00] Cardoe: damnit
[23:55:00] Cardoe: why won't ivtv compile for me!?
[23:55:00] ** Cardoe kicks it. **
[23:55:00] kormoc: fryfrog, in svn, there is an option to turn off openg vsync that works as well
[23:56:00] sphing: Cardoe: i think it works now
[23:56:00] fryfrog: Cardoe: 0.4.2?
[23:56:00] ** Cardoe kicks again for good measure. **
[23:56:00] Cardoe: yes 0.4.2
[23:56:00] sphing: it always does in the movies
[23:56:00] Cardoe: otherwise it would have been in the tree
[23:56:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: your ebuild has problems.
[23:56:00] Cardoe: or whoever submitted it now.
[23:56:00] fryfrog: did you try the slightly updated one?
[23:56:00] kormoc: Cardoe, cause of the error in line #422, you can't cast a void void ****** into a signed int, sorry.

[23:57:00] john34: I need some help "i cant seem to load ivtv to see my pvr-250" anyone out there"
[23:58:00] fryfrog: john34: come up with some more details, such as a pastebin.com of your dmesg output
[23:58:00] fryfrog: as well as anything else you might think is useful
[23:58:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: it's bad ivtv code!
[23:58:00] fryfrog: "i need some help, i can't seem to see" :)
[23:58:00] fryfrog: bad ivtv, bad!
[23:58:00] xris: ok, time to build a new myth checkoiut
[23:58:00] fryfrog: but 0.4.2 compiled and is working nicely on my system :)

[23:59:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: no no.
[23:59:00] fryfrog: and the air2pc drivers in 2.6.15 kernel I think are nicer too
[23:59:00] Cardoe: he's using the WRONG includes.
[23:59:00] xris: fryfrog: oh? in what way?
[23:59:00] Cardoe: which are left behind in x86 by accident.
[23:59:00] nick3_ (n=test@r42h160.res.gatech.edu) has left #mythtv-users
[23:59:00] Cardoe: which will be removed from 2.6.15 with the next 2.6.15.x release
