[00:01:00] mchou: xris: really?? SoC was more a less abust for myth?
[00:01:09] mchou: a bust*
[00:03:29] jams: pretty much
[00:03:44] jams: some will stick around ot finish the job, but nobody completed
[00:04:39] mchou: jams: so what does that mean, they dont get paid?
[00:04:55] jams: so do, some dont
[00:05:10] mchou: jams: I mean the "incomplete" ones
[00:05:11] roz: thats sad :(
[00:05:13] jams: all depends on what their mentor decided
[00:05:31] roz: if i were still in school, i DEFINITELY would have done that
[00:05:44] mchou: roz: no way
[00:05:47] jams: xris knows more of the details on the payment
[00:05:58] roz: why not?
[00:06:16] nero: I think the problem is that it isn't enough to just earn that for the summer, so people do the SOC and get a job, and just dont have time for the SOC stuff..
[00:06:17] mchou: roz: I dont think most undergrads have enough experience for meaning code for myth in 3 months
[00:06:32] mchou: meaningful*
[00:06:41] roz: was that the problem?
[00:07:07] nero: I was going to apply.. (Grad student) but this summer was my SOD (summer of dissertation).. and I DEFINITELY wouldn't have had enough time to do anything..
[00:07:08] mchou: roz: that's my conjecture
[00:07:27] roz: i suppose its true
[00:07:37] roz: i doubt i could right now...
[00:07:58] roz: but I have no idea where to learn that high of level of C++ skill
[00:07:59] mchou: that's the problem with SoC in general
[00:08:03] roz: we sure don't teach it
[00:08:08] Juski (Juski!n=juski@spc2-salf1-0-0-cust442.bagu.broadband.ntl.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:08:33] mchou: the tasks are not realistically matched to the skills of candidates
[00:08:33] nero: Anyone know how well the mythweb stuff came through?? thats what I was looking foward to..
[00:09:06] nero: mchou, I think the point is that it will force you to learn beyond your means.. if this actually happens doesnt look too good..
[00:09:34] mchou: nero: sure, I agree. but not at such high rate of "incompleteness"
[00:10:00] nero: I dunno.. the way I look at it is this.. if you put enough time towards it, you could at least make a contribution..
[00:10:10] mchou: nero: it has to be a stretch but not that BIG a stretch
[00:10:13] nero: it might not be actual code, but a layout, outline, directions it should go..
[00:10:25] mchou: nero: lol
[00:10:30] nero: from the sound of things, a lot of these SOC students take it on, and just dont put the necessary time into it..
[00:10:46] roz: what is the pay?
[00:10:46] mchou: nero: that's the last thing myth needs. more clueless cooks in the kitchen
[00:11:02] nero: mchou, shrug.. its not like it cost Myth anything..
[00:11:26] mchou: I think it's $9k? Dont quote me
[00:11:37] nero: I thought it was like $3k..
[00:11:40] lu: its $4500
[00:11:40] roz: 9000 for a summer? per student? thats a lot
[00:11:45] lu: and the mentors get 500
[00:12:00] mchou: roz: it was some multiple of 3 :)
[00:12:06] roz: lol
[00:13:20] mchou: nero: you a phd or ms candidate?
[00:13:36] nero: mchou, PhD.. soon to not be a candidate hopefuly! :D
[00:13:47] nero: turning in the dissertation on Friday..
[00:13:47] mchou: nero: heh. what field?
[00:14:00] nero: Civil Engineering (risk assessment of large structures)
[00:14:12] mchou: nero: where?
[00:14:25] nero: Princeton Univ.
[00:14:33] mchou: nero: you don one on the WTC? :)
[00:14:40] mchou: s/don/do
[00:14:46] nero: mchou, nope.. seismic risk assement..
[00:14:59] nero: though the project I was originally working on was related to WTC work..
[00:15:02] Juski: ah something sensible then :)
[00:15:11] nero: Juski, yup.. ;)
[00:15:29] mchou: nero: you gonna work in CA after you get your PhD? :
[00:15:37] nero: mchou, hell no!
[00:15:51] mchou: nero: why not, seismic activity here
[00:16:00] nero: Too expensive..
[00:16:15] nero: besides, I am getting pretty sick of seismic stuff..
[00:16:16] jams: lu- you plan on sticking around?
[00:16:21] Juski: too expensive for someone with a phd?!
[00:16:23] nero: moving on to work with wind risk..
[00:16:32] mchou: nero: ahh....
[00:16:41] nero: Juski, contrary to popular belief PhD's != $$$..
[00:16:48] mchou: nero: wind shear and turbulence
[00:16:50] lu: jams: as a dev? yea, though starting an internship, so I won't have as much time
[00:17:00] Juski: blim. I'll stay uneducated then :-P
[00:17:02] nero: no, more in terms of widescale risk from storms.. hurricanes, etc..
[00:17:16] mchou: nero: lol
[00:17:23] mchou: nero: FL and LA
[00:17:25] jams: lu good to hear
[00:17:36] nero: mchou, just because it happens there, doesnt mean I need to live there.. ;)
[00:17:45] Led-Hed (Led-Hed!n=Led-Hed@209.209.124.226) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:17:50] nero: in fact, when looking at the risk, you find out it is probably better NOT to live there.. ;)
[00:17:53] roz: does anyone know if you can disable what myth does to DPMS? it turns it on and off as you watch videos
[00:18:07] mchou: nero: lol
[00:18:23] Juski: roz: why would you want DPMS to stay enabled when you're watching stuff?
[00:18:29] mchou: nero: I personally think they shouldnt bother rebuilding NOLA
[00:18:37] nero: mchou, I would agree with you.
[00:18:47] roz: because on my desktop... when myth crashes.... DPMS stays disabled
[00:18:54] mchou: nero: too bad it's a major port
[00:19:00] Juski: roz: sort out why myth is crashing then
[00:19:18] nero: It would be very easy to leave a port town (the old city) and implement a light rail system, and move the majority of the residential/at risk population inland say 15–20 miles.
[00:19:30] nero: but, that would be too easy, too cheap, and "giving in" to mother nature..
[00:19:32] roz: Juski: its abnormalities that cause it to crash..... like my frontend is gone from the network, et..al...
[00:19:38] roz: then when i come home from work... my 22" CRT is on
[00:19:56] Juski: gone from the network? using wireless eh?
[00:20:25] nero: oh, and more importantly, would take "planning".. something it seems our fedral government, the gov't of LA or NOLA has any ability to do.
[00:20:27] roz: no
[00:20:43] roz: but ya know S**t happens lol
[00:20:43] nero: has any == has no
[00:20:51] mchou: nero: yep, agree with you there
[00:21:57] Juski: roz: my myth system stays up & up & up for ages at a time – you need to iron out those wrinkles
[00:21:59] mchou: nero: especially since Bush, Brown of FEMA, Corps of Army engineers screwed up so badly in response
[00:22:10] Juski: .. and switch the monitor off when you leave the room for any length of time
[00:22:32] Juski: oh btw USA guys – glad to be your new #1 threat!  :-|
[00:22:40] nero: The problem with FEMA is Bush neutered it when he decided that disaster response should be part responsibility of FEMA, most responsiblity of DHS..
[00:22:44] cornel1 (cornel1!n=cornell@c-69-139-78-205.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:23:09] nero: FEMA of pre 9/11 would have handled Katrina MUCH better.
[00:23:16] mchou: nero: yup, Bush screwed up big time there
[00:23:36] roz: Juski, mine does too. just every now any then stuff happens...
[00:23:41] roz: like the hard drive fills up
[00:23:49] mchou: FEMA was a cabinent level post under Clinton
[00:23:56] roz: or it gets disconnected from the network
[00:24:06] roz: or or or or.... occasionally stuff happens
[00:24:08] nero: The system is now so messed up, it'll keep guys like me with work for a looong long time..
[00:24:25] mchou: nero: not some crony appointment, like under Bush
[00:24:30] roz: but even if i walk away from my desktop, i'd like my desktop monitor to go to sleep, even if it is watching tv
[00:24:55] Juski: roz: youd do the environment more good to switch the monitor off yourself ;)
[00:25:25] mchou: CRT monitors suck lots of power
[00:25:27] roz: it goes to sleep in like 5 minutes
[00:25:58] jenn` (jenn`!n=jenn@a-d32.rh.sunyit.edu) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:26:04] Juski: maybe there's a DPMS setting in mythfrontend somewhere on one of the 160+ menu screens
[00:26:08] roz: my power bill in the summer for a 1 BR apt is a cool 150$
[00:26:16] nero: ouch!
[00:26:33] mchou: $150 is hardly cheap
[00:26:39] roz: no its not
[00:26:44] roz: its 50$ in the winter
[00:26:44] nero: for a 1BR it is..
[00:26:49] roz: i really dont have to heat the place
[00:26:54] jenn`: I'm having trouble getting mythtv to work with alsa. I tried setting audio to ALSA:default and the mixer to default. Also, tvtime works just fine.
[00:27:11] nero: I have a 2br, and my electricity bill in the summer, including A/C is about $90.
[00:27:17] Juski: jees you guys need to get some Uk perspective. I'm paying like 60 GBP a month. In summer. with no A/C
[00:27:42] Juski: expensive? you dont know expensive man
[00:27:49] mchou: Juski: screw UK perspective. Turn off more appliances
[00:28:02] Juski: mchou: am doing that already
[00:28:19] Juski: that fucking useless athlon schlong box has got to go
[00:28:20] nero: Juski, stop using electricity or shadup then! ;)
[00:28:55] Juski: using old hardware for mythboxen != good idea
[00:29:32] mchou: man, I ditched athonXP at the earliest opportunity
[00:29:54] mchou: athlon64 with coolnQuiet is MUCH better
[00:30:02] Juski: course it is
[00:30:17] Juski: problem is having spare cash to invest, to save money longer term
[00:30:23] jams: Juski- believe it or not, there is no dpms setting
[00:30:33] jams: in the myth menus
[00:30:37] Juski: jams: really? not even on screen 165 ?
[00:30:40] Juski: sheesh
[00:30:43] jams: nope nope nope
[00:30:51] mchou: Juski: huh?? You save long term by rducing your energy consumption
[00:30:56] Juski: I look fwd to my patch
[00:30:57] mchou: reducing*
[00:31:16] Juski: mchou: yeh but I need to BUY new gear to reduce energy consumption
[00:31:26] mchou: A64 probably pays for itself in a few months compared to AXP

[00:35:09] mchou: I got CPU+Mobo+Mem for $120 quite some time ago. prices have since dropped even lower
[00:35:35] SlicerDicer-: hello mchou
[00:35:39] Juski: see – your $120 == my 120+ GBP
[00:35:55] mchou: Juski: I doubt it
[00:36:14] mchou: Juski: it's not a 2x mark up across the pond
[00:36:21] Juski: you wanna bet? ;-) UK vs USA PC components is pound for dollar, seriously
[00:36:42] SlicerDicer-: wat are you trying to get Juski?
[00:36:52] Juski: SlicerDicer-: nothing yet
[00:36:55] mchou: Juski: I'd believe euro for dollar, not pounds for dollar
[00:37:17] Juski: mchou: in all seriousness we're getting our wallets royally raped over here
[00:37:34] SlicerDicer-: Juski: cant you get a friend in the USA to buy it open it "apply dust" mark it used and send it to you duty free? ;-)
[00:37:46] mchou: hey SlicerDicer-
[00:37:55] jams: shipping will kill you on that one
[00:38:01] mchou: SlicerDicer-: you see my duct tape comment?
[00:38:05] SlicerDicer-: no heh
[00:38:39] mchou: SlicerDicer-: in response to your motorola boxen you put up last night
[00:38:46] SlicerDicer-: hehe
[00:38:49] SlicerDicer-: what did you say?
[00:39:12] mchou: SlicerDicer-: I just asked why you used duct tape
[00:39:19] SlicerDicer-: cover the IR sensors
[00:39:25] mchou: lol
[00:39:40] SlicerDicer-: if it gets sticky
[00:39:41] SlicerDicer-: fuckem
[00:39:46] SlicerDicer-: comcast needs sticky boxes
[00:40:07] mchou: SlicerDicer-: and why you have 2 wireless routers right on top of each other......
[00:40:32] mchou: SlicerDicer-: it's from all the PPV Pr)n you're watching :)
[00:41:16] SlicerDicer-: mchou: they are not activated haha
[00:41:46] SlicerDicer-: I was flashing them with "Must DIE" so I could bump up the power
[00:41:52] SlicerDicer-: and they are not routers they are just access points
[00:42:10] Juski: bah to hell with changing the mythbackend for now. I can't wade through all the tech gobbledygook.
[00:42:51] SlicerDicer-: mchou: I can pump it from 22mw to 84mw with that mustdie hack :)
[00:43:26] mchou: SlicerDicer-: yeah, but have 2 on top of one another kinda pointless if you want increased range
[00:43:37] SlicerDicer-: one is going to go upstairs and be a relay :)
[00:43:47] SlicerDicer-: so I can have both floors spammed
[00:43:57] SlicerDicer-: I just was flashing them there for ease of use 1 plug 1 ethernet
[00:44:01] SlicerDicer-: I just havent moved them yet
[00:44:58] SlicerDicer-: they are not even plugged in though
[00:45:21] SlicerDicer-: also it looks uber with AP ears to visitors who dont know dick about computers :)
[00:46:51] jams: heh

[00:58:38] PuShPoP: aid, nothing crazy just need a nvidia video card haha
[00:58:56] Aid`: hmm i probably shouldn't be using the nv driver if i have a nvidia card?
[00:59:00] SlicerDicer-: nope
[00:59:02] Juski: mchou: plenty of free hosts out there just doing html hosting :)

[00:59:09] SlicerDicer-: use XVMC with nvidia card Aid` :) it rocks
[00:59:19] mchou: Juski: yeah, that what this guy needs
[00:59:26] PuShPoP: ATI = shit for HDTV =P
[00:59:39] Aid`: okay
[00:59:57] Aid`: because i've recorded some HD feeds and when i play them they just kill my cpu.. should that be happening?
[01:00:03] PuShPoP: Question, on your recordings do you guys have wierd line at the top of the screen?
[01:00:19] mchou: PuShPoP: RTFM
[01:00:21] Aid`: like fuzz?
[01:00:25] Juski: mchou: you normally have to make concessions to banner ads & whatnot – the intrusiveness varies from place to place so shop around. it's a bewildering choice though. I just clicked on a random link when I chose 501megs
[01:01:01] PuShPoP: mchow, sorry man geez
[01:01:05] Juski: I got ftp uploading though, which is pretty unusual for free hosts
[01:01:43] Aid`: RTFM???
[01:01:56] PuShPoP: read the fucking manual

[03:00:02] magneticubuntu: yeah
[03:00:40] Anduin: magneticubuntu: I don't know if unbuntu does it, but debian likes to disable network connect by default
[03:01:00] magneticubuntu: Anduin: http://pastebin.ca/155503
[03:01:01] Anduin: (meaning only the 127.0.0.1 address would work without you doing something)
[03:01:03] magneticubuntu: plz see
[03:01:10] magneticubuntu: ah i see
[03:03:00] pushpop`: Can someone link me to a good receiver/remote control setup...
[03:03:15] magneticubuntu: Anduin, ok great that worked
[03:03:25] magneticubuntu: but how do i know if my card shows up?
[03:03:45] magneticubuntu: what device is it?
[03:03:54] Anduin: magneticubuntu: Until that error -12 goes away, it isn't
[03:04:06] magneticubuntu: :(((
[03:04:14] magneticubuntu: its supposed to be /dev/video0 right
[03:04:22] magneticubuntu: what is the error -12?
[03:06:03] Anduin: magneticubuntu: It is -ENOMEM, it just means it tried to scan the card memory space for mailboxes and failed.
[03:06:22] magneticubuntu: Anduin, ah you mean the card itself is having problem?
[03:07:16] Anduin: magneticubuntu: Not necessarily the card, I'd try it in a known working scenario first. Like I said, you aren't the first to hit that error.
[03:07:36] magneticubuntu: hmm maybe i'll switch slots as you suggested
[03:07:47] magneticubuntu: do you have a forum url i can see to this error?
[03:08:28] Anduin: magneticubuntu: I closed it, it was one of the first hits on Google for the error
[03:08:38] magneticubuntu: error -12?

[03:09:10] sigger_2_: PuShPoP what are you looking for? cheap? purty? buttons?
[03:10:04] pushpop`: purty
[03:10:06] magneticubuntu: hmm Its A DMA problem??
[03:10:07] pushpop`: =)
[03:10:28] sigger_2_: I have a Harmony 680 remote that I like quite a bit.
[03:10:40] pushpop`: does it come with everything you need?
[03:10:49] Loto: installing mythtv onto debian 'etch' release. Packages installed correctly but apon trying to run mythtv-setup as the 'mythtv' user it says connect connect to X server.... BUT! im running it from a konsole in kde
[03:10:50] offset (offset!n=off@ool-44c00604.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:11:01] Loto: why can mythtv not connect to my x.org server?
[03:11:14] sigger_2_: I went for it cause it has many buttons that are on my PVR remote and I use it to control myth/pvr/AVR/dvd
[03:11:22] moto125: ii looked in the mythbackend log, couldn't find an error, the only error is the ivalid file error on the frontend
[03:11:37] pushpop`: any remotes that are cheaper
[03:11:39] Anduin: magneticubuntu: Shouldn't be hitting DMA yet.
[03:11:40] sigger_2_: it does not have an IR recvr. I bought a Packard Bell receiver and remote package real cheap on the web
[03:11:42] pushpop`: aroudn 50 dollar range?
[03:12:03] sigger_2_: PB is not nearly as purty, but it is real cheap and works well with lirc
[03:12:12] sigger_2_: 680 was $100+ I'm sure
[03:12:14] magneticubuntu: hmm i see ppl have this mailbox encoder problem alot..
[03:12:30] sigger_2_: PB remote and recvr was $15 TO $25 all in.
[03:12:49] magneticubuntu: Anduin: "and there are some indications that it may be a
[03:12:50] magneticubuntu: gcc-4.1 code generation issue
[03:13:07] sigger_2_: pushpop: you know much about CPUs?
[03:13:21] pushpop`: yea, I'm new to linux
[03:13:27] pushpop`: just dont know much about media center setups
[03:13:39] pushpop`: as far as remotes / recvr
[03:13:52] sigger_2_: I'm working on picking out a CPU right now and not sure how much firepower to buy
[03:14:09] pushpop`: well at work I have been really impressed with the p4 core duo's
[03:14:11] Ribs: Loto, Are you running mythtv as the same user of the your KDE session?
[03:14:20] pushpop`: blows away my amd x2 4800
[03:14:23] Anduin: magneticubuntu: Yeah, I read the -devel list (here and there), but I don't believe it. Something to try I guess.
[03:14:44] Loto: Ribs : no
[03:14:45] pushpop`: so I recommend core duo's
[03:14:47] sigger_2_: for a new myth frontend that will prolly only ever use mythtvideo with mplayer or xine
[03:14:49] Ribs: Loto, That's why then
[03:14:53] Loto: thanks :)
[03:14:58] Ribs: no problem
[03:15:02] pushpop`: thats overkill
[03:15:12] Loto: is it actually a problem to run mythtv-setup as not 'mythtv' user?
[03:15:26] pushpop`: sigger_2_: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Searc . . . M-945GPM-840
[03:15:28] Anduin: Loto: Only if you want things to work.
[03:15:29] Loto: (package installer mentioned it)
[03:15:29] Ribs: Loto, I wouldn't recommend it
[03:15:33] Loto: lol fair enough
[03:15:35] Loto: thanks again
[03:15:39] sigger_2_: eh, the intel mobos and cpu's are a good bit more $ and conroe is way too much power
[03:15:55] Loto: intel cpus are cheaper atm
[03:16:01] Loto: mobos not so much
[03:16:06] pushpop`: when you said the PB remote before
[03:16:09] pushpop`: what did you mean by that
[03:16:10] pushpop`: PB?
[03:16:18] sigger_2_: Packard Bell
[03:16:43] pushpop`: i'm placing an order with new egg
[03:16:46] pushpop`: they dont seem to carry that
[03:16:56] pushpop`: maybe a remote from a popular brand
[03:17:02] pushpop`: that is known to work well?
[03:17:25] sigger_2_: they don't carry what? PB? no, its discontinued. there's a co called tekgems that sells em
[03:17:36] pushpop`: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16880100713
[03:17:40] pushpop`: will that work?
[03:17:48] moto125: quick linux newbie question – how can i make a script to run "ifconfig eth0 up" and "export xsession" on startup
[03:18:15] pushpop`: get off aol and we will tell you
[03:18:18] pushpop`: jk
[03:18:21] pushpop`: im a newb too
[03:18:37] sigger_2_: PuShPoP: actually it really comes down to what buttons do you need/want
[03:19:08] pushpop`: well I want it to work all my componets
[03:19:19] pushpop`: I'd buy that logitech if I know it will work with mythtv
[03:19:27] sigger_2_: it takes more thought than ya might think
[03:19:50] sigger_2_: the logi will work with myth. I'm using mine right now. It's all about the buttons
[03:20:06] pushpop`: well, I like the setup of the one I posted.
[03:20:13] pushpop`: what should I get as far as a receiver for it
[03:20:13] sigger_2_: (and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131570 is the mobo I'm staring at right now)
[03:20:26] sigger_2_: get a PB and chuck the remote.
[03:20:39] pushpop`: got a link
[03:20:39] pushpop`: ?
[03:20:41] Loto: Ribs : kdm wouldnt let me login as mythtv user so i changed its ID to the 1xxx range and it now allows me to attempt to login but fails (i assume because mythtv user has no password). How should I start a kde session as the mythtv user?

[03:23:17] somegeek (somegeek!i=levin@tor/regular/somegeek) has quit ("back in a sec")
[03:23:24] Loto: jp1 is a standard developed by UEI who make many many remotes. they are rebranded as many kinds
[03:23:40] Loto: they have a 6 pin connector that allows homebrewers to reprogram them
[03:23:43] pushpop`: can you link me to the remote/receiver you use
[03:23:55] Loto: even upload new programs to allow for long keypress, double press and many other neat functions
[03:24:08] pushpop`: I really would Like to use the logitech http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Ite . . . 880100713... just dont know what receiver to buy for it
[03:24:10] Loto: macros, volume/channel pushthrough features
[03:24:27] pushpop`: thats pretty cool
[03:24:33] sigger_2_: heh, $7.61 shipping on a $5 remote/receiver.
[03:24:35] Loto: and they are uber cheap
[03:24:41] Loto: as long as you can figure out the protocol supported by the reciever
[03:24:46] Loto: you can tell the logitech remote what to send
[03:24:51] Loto: thats what makes it universal :)
[03:25:21] Loto: no one knows how i can start a kde session as the mythtv user?
[03:25:22] pushpop`: I have to purchase the receiver seperate
[03:25:31] pushpop`: ?
[03:25:39] Loto: logitech is designed for home theature, not pc use
[03:25:45] pushpop`: ic
[03:25:51] Loto: it only uses pc to upload configuration
[03:25:57] pushpop`: your right
[03:26:15] Loto: now thats not saying it doesnt work with pcs, its just you need to get a reciever for the pc supported by the logitech remote
[03:26:18] pushpop`: do you have a link to the remote/recvr you recommend
[03:26:27] Loto: never used logitech, i have no idea
[03:26:35] Loto: google is probly your friend
[03:26:46] pushpop`: im asking about the 1 you use
[03:26:58] Loto: i use an xbox as my frontend
[03:27:04] Loto: i only use mythtvbackend
[03:27:14] sigger_2_: Loto: how's the xbox work for you
[03:27:35] Loto: i dont use mythtvfrontend on the xbox
[03:27:42] Loto: i use a python script for XBMC
[03:28:02] sigger_2_: oh.
[03:28:02] Loto: I fell behind on mythtv updates and the script broke so i havnt had it up and running
[03:28:11] Loto: it supports live tv and recorded programs...
[03:28:23] Loto: XBMC handles my movie and music collection more conviently imo
[03:28:34] Loto: oh and also the tv guide
[03:28:50] Loto: but right now im just trying to get a kde session running as the mythtv user
[03:28:55] Loto: so i can configure this SOB

[03:34:26] sphery: Will work well for analog outputs.
[03:34:34] sphery: Breaks passthrough, though, on most systems.
[03:34:45] jenn`: sphery, alsa is setup properly though, if tvtime is working, right?

[03:35:33] sphery: The wiki page will show you how to set up ALSA for Myth.
[03:36:09] sphery: There are a lot of variables that determine what configuration is necessary--some are in application software, some are in ALSA driver (versions), some are in hardware.
[03:36:18] jenn`: well I need to know enough about this to not screw up tvtime...
[03:36:30] sphery: The wiki page shows a good general-purpose way of configuring ALSA for use with MythTV.
[03:36:40] sphery: And shouldn't adversely affect other applications.
[03:36:41] sphery: :)
[03:36:43] Netslayer: i've loaded the default cx88_dvb etc modules for my pchdtv 3000 card and yet ./dtvsignal -d 0 2.1 gives 0 signal. i know there is signal (i have another atsc tuner)....what am i doign wrong?
[03:40:33] jenn`: sphery, I don't know anything about this stuff
[03:41:10] sphery: what sound card are you using?
[03:41:31] jenn`: sound blaster live 24bit
[03:41:56] sphery: Hmmmm. With that, you should be able to play back without anything fancy in the ALSA configuration.
[03:42:08] sphery: Oh, wait. That's not the emu10k1, is it?
[03:42:12] jenn`: ca0106
[03:42:33] sphery: OK, then back to my suggestion... Try the ALSA config in the wiki.  :)
[03:42:58] jenn`: copying exactly that config did not help anything
[03:43:08] jenn`: if i need to edit that config, i dont have the slightest clue what I need to edit
[03:43:10] sphery: It's the emu10k1x driver, right?
[03:43:13] jenn`: ca0106

[04:20:18] sphery: I'm guessing you get these also when recording.
[04:20:42] sphery: My current guess is that Myth is not getting any audio from the capture device.
[04:21:02] jenn`: never tried a recording
[04:21:26] sphery: This could happen with a frame grabber if you've selected the wrong capture channel
[04:21:48] sphery: or with a PVR-x50 due to msp3400 (or whatever the PVR-150/500 uses) module issues
[04:22:06] jenn`: dont know anything about that..but ok
[04:22:08] sphery: Or with a framegrabber because of cabling issues (using passthrough to the line in)
[04:22:14] jenn`: my main question is why does tvtime work and not mythtv
[04:22:23] sphery: Or, if you put ALSA:default for the capture device
[04:22:31] jenn`: i did put alsa:default for the capture device
[04:22:34] sphery: (ALSA:default can /only/ be used for playback device)
[04:22:38] sphery: Aha!

[11:26:21] qu0zl: it's the normal unix load average, google will give you long explanations of it

[11:30:57] Juski: all of which means you need a supercomputing grid, or maybe you just need to wait a little longer for stuff to finish
[11:31:19] qu0zl: no lupin_sansei
[11:31:30] qu0zl: a process blocked waiting for disk i/o also adds to your load average
[11:31:45] qu0zl: so a load average of >1 does not necessarily mean that your cpu is overloaded

[11:31:56] ** maniacxs votes for high performance cluster **

[12:57:46] GreyFoxx: What do you mean by that ?
[12:58:56] Ruleke: that it takes too much cpu to decode
[12:59:22] Ruleke: meaning that I either have to spend too much money, or it becomes a box that is too loud, etc etc
[12:59:28] Ruleke: I'm not bothering for now :)
[13:00:16] GreyFoxx: ahhhh
[13:00:31] lupin_sansei: that's what's good about HD in Australia, it's just mpg2, so video cards can decode it for you
[13:00:38] Ruleke: same here
[13:00:41] Ruleke: but they are switching
[13:00:49] GreyFoxx: All of my HDTV samples are mpeg2, haven't tried any h264 yet
[13:00:56] Ruleke: now it's still "simulcast" :)
[13:01:02] lupin_sansei: ok
[13:01:31] lupin_sansei: one irksome thing is that our SD is broadcast in mpg2 16:9 so my DVD can't play it (well it squashes is to 4:3)
[13:01:47] Ruleke: hmm
[13:02:12] lupin_sansei: maybe better DVD players can?
[13:02:35] GreyFoxx: Your player should be able to handle 16:9
[13:02:41] lupin_sansei: our SD is 7xx by 5xx (I forget the exact number) but at 16:9
[13:02:49] GreyFoxx: Depending on the resolution of course
[13:02:51] Ruleke: 720*568
[13:02:56] lupin_sansei: 704 I think
[13:02:57] Ruleke: is pal
[13:03:14] GreyFoxx: err 576
[13:03:19] Ruleke: gah yes
[13:03:31] GreyFoxx: and the 704 is due to 8 pixels on each side of "black"
[13:03:42] GreyFoxx: so it's 720x with only 704 having picture
[13:04:22] lupin_sansei: sorry 720x576
[13:04:33] lupin_sansei: Where did I get 704 from?
[13:04:58] GreyFoxx: 704 is what most people get when they chop the 2 black columns
[13:04:59] Ruleke: in palplus, only 432 have picture
[13:05:25] lupin_sansei: looks very nice though, so clear like a DVD, so much better than analogue
[13:05:34] Ruleke: 704*432 I guess in the end ?
[13:05:40] Ruleke: for palplus :/
[13:06:40] Ruleke: anyhow, the topic was dvb
[13:06:46] Ruleke: down with palplus crap
[13:06:55] lupin_sansei: we have DVB in Australia I think
[13:07:15] Ruleke: I thought so
[13:07:27] Ruleke: no idea what all this atsc etc is all about :)
[13:07:34] lupin_sansei: where are you?
[13:07:42] Ruleke: .be
[13:07:46] Ruleke: belgium
[13:07:57] Ruleke: not to mentiont he strange dvb-c / opencable thing
[13:07:58] lupin_sansei: okay, I think the Aussie one is similar to the German DVB system
[13:08:33] lupin_sansei: It's nice that it transmits the EPG over the air, as it means you don't have to have your myth BE on the internet to get a programme guide
[13:08:56] lupin_sansei: What do they have in the UK?
[13:09:11] Ruleke: dvb
[13:09:23] Ruleke: and the whole sky thing in sattelite I guess
[13:10:06] lupin_sansei: ok
[13:10:19] Ruleke: in Belgium, cable is used everywhere, almost no terrestial stuff anymore
[13:10:21] aevilsk: epg data is only 2 days or so
[13:10:33] Ruleke: so the future will be dvb-c, not dvb-t
[13:10:43] Ruleke: which I think is nice :)
[13:10:51] Ruleke: epg data here is 4 days
[13:11:03] Ruleke: :/
[13:11:07] lupin_sansei: it's only 3 hours ahead in Oz :(
[13:11:16] Ruleke: yikes
[13:11:18] aevilsk: heh, now that is bad
[13:11:20] lupin_sansei: annoying
[13:11:31] Ruleke: so almost only now/next data :)
[13:11:38] lupin_sansei: yes
[13:11:46] lupin_sansei: It's 2 or 3 Nexts
[13:11:58] Ruleke: crazy
[13:12:07] lupin_sansei: at least the "schedule by keyword" works as they broadcast the description
[13:12:18] Ruleke: I really like not having to run an xmltv scraper anymore
[13:12:24] lupin_sansei: yeah me too
[13:12:29] lupin_sansei: The Oz one is always up and down
[13:12:43] Ruleke: the one here is ok, but also only 5 days
[13:12:54] aevilsk: i just never bothered with it, using myth for 3 months or so
[13:13:04] lupin_sansei: We have a commerical one ($3 per month) that is 1 month ahead
[13:13:19] Ruleke: yeah I hear those exist for you guys
[13:13:27] lupin_sansei: but I just can't be bothered setting it up for my credit card, the EPG one is good enough for now
[13:13:29] Ruleke: no such things for us :P

[13:13:58] lupin_sansei: I basically just want it to record all Simpsons, Futuramas, Curb Your Enthusiams and so on
[13:14:05] lupin_sansei: .. and it does that okay
[13:14:58] lupin_sansei: Question. How does the DVB EPG work in Myth, does Myth peridodically cycle through the Channels and collect the EPG from each channel, or does each channel broadcast the EPG for all the othe channels?
[13:15:20] stuarta: depends where you live as to what is broadcast
[13:15:25] aevilsk: lupin_sansei, 3h sucks if you want to start your backend only for recordings
[13:15:38] stuarta: but yes, myth walks through all the channels to get the EIT data
[13:15:47] lupin_sansei: really, how often does it do it?
[13:16:02] stuarta: default is to change channel every 5 mins
[13:16:10] lupin_sansei: aevilsk: yes it does. It kind of works for recodings, but I would like it to be a few days
[13:16:14] stuarta: if you have it configured and enabled
[13:16:38] lupin_sansei: Well it seems to work, so it must be doing it
[13:16:55] Merlin83b: stuarta: Running 11004 now. BE seems to be up and running, compiling plugins before starting FE
[13:16:58] lupin_sansei: I guess in a single tuner backend it can't do it when you are recording
[13:17:19] stuarta: lupin_sansei: it can, but it won't change channel
[13:17:36] stuarta: Merlin83b: I haven't even updated to that yet :)
[13:18:04] Merlin83b: Heh
[13:18:08] lupin_sansei: stuarta: so in that case it's only updating the EPG for the current channel you are recording from?
[13:18:24] qu0zl: Juski, i don't know if you got a reply about this already but you need to be very careful if you're spinning down 3 1/2 inch hdds. They're not specced for anything like as many up/down cycles as a laptop hdd, and when i was thinking about doing that i saw some advice against it
[13:19:06] stuarta: lupin_sansei: you are in aus I see, you will only get that channel and no long term data
[13:20:58] lupin_sansei: stuarta: ok
[13:21:18] lupin_sansei: Does the US use DVB?

[13:23:38] lupin_sansei: reminds me of GSM
[13:23:49] qu0zl: aye that's my point linagee :) but the laptop ones are specced for an order of magnitude more up/down cycles than 3 1/2 inch ones
[13:24:25] qu0zl: i tried to do some guesstimates and i came up with a 3 1/2hd being speced for a year of the up/down cycles i'd guess it'd have
[13:24:33] linagee: qu0zl: best to just keep the drives spun up in some sort of raid for data redundancy
[13:24:36] qu0zl: very guesstimaty :)
[13:24:51] qu0zl: the reason for spinning them down was sound
[13:24:57] linagee: er, some sort of raid > 0

[13:33:25] Ruleke: ah
[13:33:25] qu0zl: one 300gig hd in my mythtv box. i've got a decent raid array in my desktop but i barely use that anymore
[13:33:48] Ruleke: no idea, I run an m2–12000 now but use internal player...
[13:34:07] qu0zl: sigger, your mini-itx probably does bob deinterlace using xvmc if it's via? That seems to be the best deinterlace out there
[13:34:16] linagee: qu0zl: why do you barely use it now?
[13:34:27] qu0zl: chronic rsi, so i've given up gaming :)
[13:34:28] sigger: Ruleke: spending much $ on the tv. wanna be certain the computer has enough firepower.

[13:35:00] Ruleke: I'm not getting a new tv till they switch to H264 hdtv around here...
[13:35:09] qu0zl: :)
[13:35:17] sigger: qu0zl: not sure what mplayer uses. keep meanign to try Internal player.
[13:35:46] sigger: and it does use xv.
[13:35:50] linagee: Ruleke: get a TV with an ethernet jack and mpeg4 decoder built in? heh
[13:35:56] Ruleke: nah
[13:36:09] Ruleke: I mean that if I go hdtv, I'll have to build a new mythtv setup anyway
[13:36:52] Ruleke: so I might skip the mpeg2 phase because they are 1) very few cable channels and 2) they are switching already
[13:36:58] linagee: once hdtv becomes cheaper than a normal tv, i bet everyone will start buying them
[13:37:01] qu0zl: sigger xine supports xvmc which will let you use bob deinterlace on your via mini-itx. xv alone probably won't
[13:37:11] qu0zl: i dunno if mplayer supports it
[13:37:22] Ruleke: I used xine before with xvmc
[13:37:39] sigger: mplayer does xv. I was using xine, but I found that mplayer actually ran quite a bit faster on my pc than xine
[13:37:45] linagee: the only way i could see hdtv becoming cheaper is if they stop manufacturing regular tvs.
[13:37:51] qu0zl: sigger, i know mplayer does xv, but i don't know if it does xvmc
[13:38:03] linagee: qu0zl: xvmc?
[13:38:05] qu0zl: xv won't let you do bob deinterlace on a 600mhz via mini-itx, xvmc probably will
[13:38:17] sigger: e.g. I have avis that were unwatchable with xine that are A-OK with mplayer.
[13:38:22] qu0zl: mpeg decoding acceleration. the via's support it in hardware
[13:38:26] sigger: ooh. I thought xv and xvmc were the same
[13:38:55] qu0zl: might be the difference between using 60% cpu and 20% cpu, something along those lines
[13:38:59] linagee: qu0zl: "in hardware" = "in software" :-D
[13:39:09] Ruleke: all material I ever played on xine was xvid etc anyway... so not much use :)
[13:39:11] linagee: qu0zl: nothing is done "in hardware" :)
[13:39:23] Ruleke: adding :p
[13:39:42] qu0zl: linagee, there's dedicated silicon in the via openchrome cle266+ chips to do mpeg motion compensation
[13:39:46] linagee: qu0zl: maybe there is a chip dedicated to just taking care of mpeg decoding, but that implementation is still in software. :)
[13:39:46] qu0zl: that's in hardware tbh
[13:40:15] qu0zl: the grunt work is offloaded to the dedicated hardware. There may be a driver to control it, but that's hardware accelerated decoding
[13:40:22] linagee: qu0zl: so why not just have dual processors and then it can use the other processor for things besides mpeg decoding? :)
[13:40:33] Ruleke: heat ? power ?
[13:40:40] Ruleke: price ?
[13:40:44] qu0zl: because the mini-itx can run on <80ws? And is almost idle while decoding mpeg2 data, because of the dedicated hardware?
[13:40:49] qu0zl: also it's smaller
[13:40:52] Ruleke: much less than 80
[13:40:53] linagee: qu0zl: dual pentium M. :)
[13:41:01] linagee: i have yet to see that
[13:41:04] qu0zl: they use more than twice the wattage per cpu
[13:41:12] sigger: well, all i know is that files that would not play under xine with -Vxxmc (i.e. xvmc as video out) play great with on mplayer with the xv option
[13:41:47] qu0zl: you may need a newer version of the openchrome driver sigger. it's in ubuntu dapper but not debian sarge for example

[13:42:33] slaine_: There's also some fun with XvMC wrapper on Ubuntu
[13:42:38] sigger: qu0zl: ain't broke. ain't fixing it.  :-d
[13:43:01] qu0zl: fair enough sigger :) just letting you know you can already get that fancy deinterlacing you want on your hardware ;)
[13:43:07] qu0zl: if you don't need it that's fair enough
[13:43:18] slaine_: I was having problems with my CLE266 based board using 50+% playing live tv. Fixed the software settings and now it uses 11%
[13:43:27] slaine_: and is smoother
[13:43:43] sigger: could be. I'm definitely not aware of what kind of deint it currently does. definitely appreciate the input :)
[13:44:46] sigger: and actually, I would really love to be able to just get another premade EPIA box rather than assembling a mobo/case/cpu/etc so I may just check it out. thanks
[13:45:07] sigger: wow slaine_, what speed CPU?
[13:45:47] slaine_: 1.2GHz
[13:46:10] slaine_: I'm on dapper
[13:46:46] Ruleke: yep, the openchrome driver ahs come a long way :)
[13:46:46] slaine_: Juski pointed me at this forum post about the wrapper issue on Dapper, http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3031
[13:47:19] slaine_: And I recompiled mythtv after changing the settings mentioned in the file and made sure that --enable-xvmc was passed in
[13:47:57] slaine_: xine -V xxvmc was already showing me that my Xorg had got the correct XvMC installed
[13:48:12] slaine_: So I'm not sure if the wrapper thing was an issue or not
[13:48:19] sigger: I use knoppmyth. I can't imagine recompiling this on my 600Mhz. even worse, with my skill set I'd have to do it multiple times
[13:48:38] slaine_: I dumped knoppmyth as it's X was too old

[13:49:04] sigger: what did the old X prevent?
[13:49:17] slaine_: Though, xvmc did just work for me, it was an issue with serious underscan on my TV that made me switch to dapper and start again
[13:49:44] slaine_: I'd a huge black border around the image on the TV
[13:50:05] sigger: yeah I have black bars of about 4–5% screen size
[13:50:08] slaine_: Slightly overscanned at the moment with the new Dapper driver, but I can live with it for now.
[13:50:10] slaine_: nod
[13:50:25] slaine_: pissed me off to much after the novelty of it just working wore off
[13:50:37] slaine_: Compiling on a 600Mhz box won't be too bad
[13:51:03] slaine_: I just left mine doing it when I went to work and did a make install when I got home.
[13:51:47] sigger: I just don't think I have the know how to replace X, mess with openchrome, etc. and don't have the time to learn
[13:52:06] sigger: I would so pay to just have it be done.
[13:52:32] slaine_: Nod, I just installed Ubuntu, and followed several of the guides around. But yes, it does take time to just get it working
[13:53:04] slaine_: There are a couple of places that sell mythtv boxes prebuilt iirc.

[13:54:50] slaine_: lol, yeah, the knoppmyth gfx where the first thing I changed
[13:55:03] sigger: qu0zl: thanks but NTSC here
[13:55:18] sigger: gfx?
[13:55:19] qu0zl: hmm, what mode you using in your xorg config? that may be an easy fix so?
[13:55:25] qu0zl: 720x480NoScale?
[13:56:03] qu0zl: there's also 720x480Over which may overscan correctly for you. though it doesn't disable the onchip image processing that the noscale mode does so it may not look as nice to you
[13:56:04] slaine_: The driver was too old for those settings qu0zl
[13:56:08] qu0zl: ahh
[13:56:13] slaine_: That's why I dumped it
[13:56:42] slaine_: Didn't like a few things about it, so rather than get an updated driver, decided to go with a fresh install via dapper
[13:56:58] null: Ruleke: how?
[13:57:04] sigger: yeah I've been messing around with modelines, but it seems if I type the same data into different online calculators, I get different results! Tried a bunch and got nowhere. wanted 720x480
[13:57:11] null: Ruleke: I don't see it in the list where I can select the xmltv source...
[13:57:19] Ruleke: null: easies is to put it in the place of an existing similar script
[13:57:27] Ruleke: it's a hack, but oh well :)

[13:58:15] Ruleke: did I just leave ?
[13:58:20] sigger: the fargin driver ignores it?
[13:58:26] slaine_: I can't remember why but the driver sets the modelines for you based on the resolution you choose
[13:58:27] sigger: Ruleke: no
[13:58:36] Ruleke: then what ?
[13:59:13] Ruleke: sigger: you were saying ?
[13:59:30] sigger: there were definitely some changes when i played with modelines. but it at 720x480 it always had a flashing nature to it
[13:59:42] sigger: Ruleke: you asked if you just left. I said no.
[14:00:55] Ruleke: then what happened ?
[14:01:21] Ruleke: I suppose I accidentally left the channel ?
[14:02:05] gardengnome: yeah you did
[14:02:23] qu0zl: sigger, there's a good openchrome mailing list. If you send the version string from your /var/log/xorg.log they may have an easy answer
[14:02:43] qu0zl: or not ;)

[14:07:39] Ruleke: cle266 has a max size of 1024x1024 for HW decode iirc
[14:07:55] Ruleke: again, if I remember correctly... more info on openchrome maillist
[14:08:02] Ruleke: I think CN400 is better, not sure
[14:09:17] sigger: thanks Ruleke
[14:09:20] Ruleke: I'd like a native res for 1080i/1080p on a future tv btw
[14:09:46] Ruleke: all the HD channels on cable here are 1080i
[14:10:30] sigger: yeah. that's kinda been holding me up on the tv. I know that as soon as I get it, prices'll drop on the 1080p's and I'll have an expensive white elephant
[14:10:31] Ruleke: too bad the tv-out on the epia EN12000 doesn't work yet :(

[14:38:35] Juski: or you figure out automounting & make a symlink in your videos directory

[14:41:42] Juski: not in 0.19 AFAIK
[14:42:02] gbee: ahh, yep .. I keep forgetting that everyone is running that old thing ;)
[14:44:04] Juski: so mythvideo will support removable media better in 0,20? great news for some then
[14:44:33] Juski: or is it more a case of 'import videos from DVD/CD' ?

[14:56:22] gbee: remembering that Isaac etc only selected ~10 applicants out of a hundred or more, and of those 10 only half even made an effort
[14:57:05] gbee: it means that the overall quality of applicants was poor :(

[15:14:02] Kelerion: in the uk people wouldn't pay for something like that.. they'd just go out and buy sky+
[15:14:10] GreyFoxx: If I was gonna do that. It'd be running off a CF card, with a seperate partitions for the database, and so on, with the /usr and all readonly except for updates
[15:14:31] GreyFoxx: And regular sql backups to the drive with the content
[15:15:14] Kelerion: not to mention anyone you sold it to would also have to have a decent net connection.. not only for epg data but also for remote assistance
[15:15:49] GreyFoxx: The EPG stuff isn't that much data really, other than the very first download

[15:27:49] GreyFoxx: except for a few occassions when it didn't support a codec
[15:27:50] Ruleke: almost ?
[15:27:53] Ruleke: ah
[15:28:02] GreyFoxx: I've had a couple of files that libavcodec didn't support
[15:28:33] Merlin83b: I didn't know it could be used until the topic came up here the other day
[15:28:39] GreyFoxx: heh
[15:28:55] GreyFoxx: I use it for DVD's now too. support is quite improved
[15:29:19] Merlin83b: My myth box doesn't have a DVD drive, or I'd try that out :-)
[15:29:22] Kelerion: same here.. I love being able to rip my dvd's to iso's and play them in the internal player
[15:29:33] Kelerion: there ya go.. don't need one :P
[15:29:41] somegeek (somegeek!i=levin@tor/regular/somegeek) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[15:30:00] GreyFoxx: the internal player is now the default, at least in mythdvd
[15:30:23] Kelerion: seems sensible to me
[15:30:35] GreyFoxx: Only way to get bug reports is to get people to use it heh
[15:30:58] Juski: so anyway what's gonna be the big difference if myth moved over to sqlite? no nasty perms issues anymore?
[15:31:23] stuarta: Juski: the scheduler query kills performance
[15:31:23] Juski: GreyFoxx: so make internal the default ;-)
[15:31:28] GreyFoxx: no user permissions or setup at all
[15:31:38] GreyFoxx: Juski: it is now, so as of 0.20 it will be :)
[15:31:42] Juski: I can see the plus points of that ;)
[15:31:53] Kelerion: and the tables wouldn't be corrupted when a powerloss occurred?
[15:32:06] GreyFoxx: Juski: Plus it's a single file. Easy for backups and less chance of corruption as there is no inmemory cache
[15:32:08] ** stuarta thinks up ways to test that **
[15:32:14] Juski: ahhh
[15:32:34] GreyFoxx: Well kill it midwrite it would still be bad, but it lessens the chance
[15:32:55] stuarta: until the BFSQ doesn't bring it to a crawl I can't see it happening....
[15:33:09] Juski: the number of queries going on is quite startling actually. I'm not sayign it's a lot for what it does cos I'm not qualified.. but it's more than I might've expected
[15:33:34] GreyFoxx: stuarta: Yeah, thnat's why I started playing with it
[15:33:48] GreyFoxx: Wanted to see if I could do anything up speeding that up
[15:33:53] stuarta: GreyFoxx: how's it look?
[15:34:30] GreyFoxx: Well, after porting over the tables I got a syntax error about the query. And the error was so vague I'll have to go over the query to find out what it was.
[15:35:50] GreyFoxx: Someone suggested sending the query (once adjusted for sqlite) and an example db over to the main developer for it
[15:36:06] GreyFoxx: and he'd see if it could be improved or adjust sqlite to make that faster heh
[15:36:17] Ruleke (Ruleke!n=Ruleke@mule.trantor.org.uk) has left #mythtv-users ()
[15:36:30] gbee: I think he'd just cry
[15:36:35] GreyFoxx: hehe
[15:36:39] GreyFoxx: I've seen the query
[15:36:42] GreyFoxx: It makes me cry :)
[15:36:44] gbee: that query is a bitch
[15:36:47] GreyFoxx: yeah
[15:37:03] GreyFoxx: and maybe refactoring that query might help
[15:37:33] stuarta: what's that mysql command to examine how long a query takes?
[15:37:44] simcop2387 (simcop2387!n=simcop23@p3m/member/simcop2387) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:37:50] somegeek (somegeek!i=levin@tor/regular/somegeek) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:37:54] GreyFoxx: if you run it at the commandline it will tell you at the end of the output
[15:38:11] GreyFoxx: plus you can enable Slow-query logging to log anything greater than say 1 second to a file
[15:38:17] stuarta: there something you can prefix to the query and it disects if for you...
[15:38:22] GreyFoxx: explain
[15:38:27] stuarta: ah
[15:38:32] GreyFoxx: but that tells you what indexes and such
[15:38:44] GreyFoxx: so you can find where you can add indexing
[15:38:52] GreyFoxx: handy
[15:38:54] gbee: good for fine tuning
[15:39:20] GreyFoxx: the SQ takes 0.3 seconds on my machine, not nearly the problem some have complained about
[15:39:37] GreyFoxx: the mythweb query is the one that takes longest on my setup heh
[15:40:02] Juski: yeh but aren't the queries going to happen more on an 'on-demand' basis in future?
[15:40:40] gbee: in mythweb? that's what I understand
[15:41:30] gbee: the mythweb loading could be done faster if it didn't fetch all the info in one query
[15:41:44] Juski: my poor old backend gets some hammering when I load mythweb up
[15:42:06] Juski: 150+ channels
[15:42:13] GreyFoxx: one way to speed up the query is to empty your oldrecorded table heh.
[15:42:41] Juski: yeh well i could do with doing that. pity it's not done already. i think mine goes back to december last year
[15:42:44] GreyFoxx: xris made some changes a couple months ago that great speeded it up for me
[15:42:55] GreyFoxx: went from 29 seconds to 12
[15:43:05] GreyFoxx: if I empty oldrecorded it's 2 or 3
[15:43:13] Juski: kidding? wow
[15:43:32] GreyFoxx: yeah, it's the cross matching to show if you had already recorded a show that kills it in my tests
[15:43:36] Juski: so do you just truncate the table?
[15:43:49] GreyFoxx: The problem is that you loose your recording history
[15:44:00] sphery: Yeah, kills dupmatching
[15:44:00] GreyFoxx: so it might record stuff you had previously watched
[15:44:06] gbee: GreyFoxx: I had an idea about that, currently we markup previously recorded episodes at the point they are fetched for display – if we marked them up just once in the programs table we'd saved a lot of time and processing power
[15:44:06] stuarta: Juski: be warned, then nothing will know what you've recorded before....
[15:44:20] GreyFoxx: gbee: Actually I have that 99% written
[15:44:20] Juski: arseburgers
[15:44:45] stuarta: not seen that show
[15:44:51] gbee: really?
[15:44:52] GreyFoxx: gbee: I added a -mark-recstatus to mythfilldatabase and it populates afield in the programs table
[15:45:08] GreyFoxx: plus updated the other code to update the field
[15:45:12] Merlin83b: GreyFoxx: Code up that last 1%!
[15:45:20] stuarta: now see we are putting more housekeeping into mythfilldatabase when the housekeeper should do it....
[15:45:29] sphery: And xris is anxiously awaiting its inclusion into trunk to speed up MythWeb...
[15:45:37] sphery: He's mentioned it several times.  :)
[15:45:41] gbee: heh, that's what I had in mind – would be an improvement and speed up day to day usage
[15:45:42] GreyFoxx: stuarta: That's why I didn't finish it
[15:45:49] GreyFoxx: I wanted to move it into the housekeeper
[15:46:03] stuarta: which is a whole project into itself....
[15:46:13] hashbang (hashbang!n=nosuch@cse-ajb.cse.bris.ac.uk) has quit ("Client exiting")
[15:46:38] gbee: only thing about putting it into the housekeeper is the frequency at which it runs
[15:47:00] sphery: but could do it like the housekeeper does the running of mfdb...
[15:47:10] stevenh (stevenh!n=lews@65.167.23.2) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:47:15] sphery: perhaps even have the housekeeper do it only after running mfdb
[15:47:15] gbee: but otherwise that's something I'll actually look forward to in 0.21
[15:47:21] stuarta: sphery: some of us don't run mfdb
[15:47:30] GreyFoxx: Just make it smart enough to run only after a mfdb OR 1 once per 24 hours
[15:47:33] gbee: we need to take EIT into account
[15:47:36] stuarta: there is no need (apart from it's cleanup housekeeping)
[15:47:37] sphery: Well, as of now, you should be (because of the cleanup it does)
[15:47:42] sphery: But in the future...
[15:47:51] stuarta: I get bored and do it once a week
[15:48:05] sphery: But, the same code that determines whether to run mfdb could be used to determine whether to run the match dups code.
[15:48:15] GreyFoxx: gbee: The update itself is pretty quick so it could be run once per hour and users would never know
[15:48:47] sphery: Guess that makes sense... It's currently being run before every display of MythWeb listings/search results/whatever (in another form)
[15:49:10] gbee: GreyFoxx: that's all I meant, that it would have to be run at that sort of frequency to keep up with changing program data
[15:50:16] GreyFoxx: Makes sense since it's a constant potential new stream of data
[15:50:27] gbee: last thing we want is the scheduler recording repeats because they were added to the db between runs :) – though I think the scheduler runs it's own duplicate checks
[15:50:48] gbee: unless you replaced those too
[15:51:07] GreyFoxx: Nope. I leave oldrecorded intact
[15:51:15] GreyFoxx: I just add an entry to the program table
[15:51:34] GreyFoxx: Could be used for the program guide display too
[15:51:40] GreyFoxx: show stuff you've already watched
[15:52:31] sphery: So, does it just bring the recstatus over to program, also?
[15:52:42] GreyFoxx: Honestly I just got distracted with other stuff, otherwise it would be done by down, wont take much to get it done after 0.20 is out
[15:52:43] sphery: Or is it only bringing over info about recstatus = -3
[15:53:14] GreyFoxx: sphery: duplicates the recstatus field, even for non -3
[15:53:18] sphery: cool
[15:53:20] gbee: yep, that's all we need for now at least, though if we re-run that new duplicate detection code after adding new EIT data and after mfilld then we could remove the part of the scheduler query which handles repeats
[15:53:29] sphery: More info (in an easy to manage approach) is good

According to what I've read, with lirc enabled in myth I don't need to run irxevent, correct? Any input on this would be helpful. I've searched the forums/goo

[18:08:49] gbee: sometime in 0.21 I'll add a lirc related message to startup so you can easily tell if it was able to connect to lircd
[18:09:34] parjoha: That would be cool and useful
[18:09:51] sphery: Yeah, the current (message only on success) is kind of backwards... lack of evidence and alll
[18:10:04] sphery: :)

[18:10:26] parjoha: very low WAF (?)
[18:11:40] Rule: hmm does mythtv add transports by itself ? I got a transport at 10758000 Hz (9999) (3104)
[18:12:08] Rule: I know I didn't add that one
[18:12:22] SlicerDicer-: xris: but it will offload the load of the mysql off my mythbackend and will create redundent ;-)
[18:12:31] SlicerDicer-: bit overkill but meh
[18:13:04] gbee: sphery: re the libs, yes it did
[18:13:19] sphery: thx
[18:13:26] gardengnome: sphery: umm, i think you already get a message if it can't connect to lircd
[18:13:52] sphery: I've been cleaning them out, but I missed that one (no "myth" in the name :)
[18:15:16] gbee: think there are a couple of others without myth, I was also clearing them out today
[18:15:36] sphery: gardengnome: Yeah, you're right. I guess it's no messages on success...
[18:15:43] sphery: Had that completely backwards.
[18:16:00] sphery: oh, no. Now I'm going to obsess about the old libs...
[18:16:17] parjoha: gardengnome: mfe procudes the error if it can't connect to lircd?
[18:16:26] parjoha: not the mbe, I mean
[18:16:37] gardengnome: yes.
[18:16:44] parjoha: ok.
[18:16:44] sphery: (Of course, I should be rebuilding from scratch my entire Myth system in 2 weeks...)
[18:17:20] sphery: Should see something about: lirc_init failed for ...
[18:17:34] sphery: Or Failed to read lirc config ...
[18:17:40] Rule: hmm, if I add this one transport, and then scan it with "scan existing transport", it changes it to a transport of different frequency etc
[18:17:45] Rule: anyone got an idea ?

[18:24:48] gbee: possibly, and if that is the case then we'll need to put in network specific hacks
[18:24:51] Rule: nor sure if that is even possible in dvb-c land, to have invalid SDT..

[20:24:10] kormoc: aye
[20:24:16] Rule: oh well you do that anyway with a multi-backend setup I think
[20:24:26] Rule: why smb though :)
[20:24:32] kormoc: Rule, most of the time, not
[20:24:42] Rule: really ?
[20:24:55] kormoc: Rule, if you don't, the master backend does know which backends have which shows and will set it up for the frontend to watch
[20:25:03] madfactor: smb shares used already, for xbox xbmc frontends and windoze media center playlists.
[20:25:11] Rule: ok, but not all have lots of disk space :)
[20:25:31] kormoc: heh, fair nuff :P
[20:25:37] Rule: good info though, but indeed breaks the jobs
[20:25:55] madfactor: Yeah... I think I am going to try it...
[20:26:16] Rule: in fact, most secondary backends here are just frontends that hold the old analog cards for conflict resolution if needed :)
[20:26:46] Rule: so that pci slot on the epia still comes in handy :)
[20:26:59] madfactor: So, if I have recording defaults automatically set to transcode, but have the master set not to do it, all I have to do is configure the slave, and launch it, the master will automatically push the job once the slave is connected?
[20:27:37] Rule: also you need to uncheck that jobs can only run on their original recording backend
[20:27:44] Rule: forget what the option is called :)
[20:28:05] Rule: I think it might be off by default anyway, can't remember

[20:30:01] Rule: hmm if I upgrade to svn head... will it semove the old .so.0.19 files on install ?
[20:30:02] madfactor: But, I don't run a frontend on the same machine.
[20:30:20] Rule: heh backend here is actually 300Mhz :)
[20:30:38] madfactor: frontend uses alot of cpu when decoding mpg4.

[22:56:45] pushpop`: Powered by Lag and Latency Reduction (LLR) Technology:
[22:56:47] pushpop`: ha
[22:57:05] scopeuk: yerh latency being due to the speed of light which afaik isent changed by a small piece of silicon
[22:57:22] pushpop`: agreed
[22:58:40] scopeuk: can lag beign a side effect of latency i cant see how it can help there eitehr
[22:59:11] pushpop`: latency is your route to the server
[22:59:26] scopeuk: spose it could reduce cpu load slightly depending on the implimentation but the same amount of cash blow on a gfx or gfx + sound card bundle whould do much more
[22:59:31] pushpop`: packet loss and latency is what causes lag
[22:59:40] scopeuk: yeh
[22:59:55] scopeuk: both goverened by factors over which that piece of silicone can do nothing about
[23:00:13] pushpop`: I guess they are targeting rich kids that game or something
[23:00:20] pushpop`: only ones who I could see buying that
[23:00:21] scopeuk: unless it uses a sub space link to get messages ftl to other systems ;-)
[23:01:03] scopeuk: aaparrently if you are pusshing a gig pipe hard (not gonan happen in domestic) eg high cap database servers etc havign a card that does encaptsulation etc can help alot on throughput
[23:01:12] scopeuk: but those cards are normally 1k plus
[23:01:36] pushpop`: Well I could see that
[23:01:50] scopeuk: but its not how there targeting it
