regicide666:

pushpop, is that the config you are trying to use that you posted

[00:00:56]

pushpop:

well, thats half my problem at the moment. I run irw and I can see the keys I press. But i start mythfrontend, and the remote does not interface with mythtv

[00:01:03]

Chicory:

Mmm ...

[00:01:30]

Honk^away:

did ya edit mythtv's lircrc? =)

[00:01:38]

pushpop:

=X

[00:01:44]

pushpop:

i havent no.

[00:01:50]

pushpop:

the how to never said anything about that haha

[00:01:57]

Honk^away:

i'm just guessing =)

[00:02:04]

pushpop:

o

[00:02:05]

pushpop:

=/

[00:02:07]

pushpop:

haha

[00:02:13]

Honk^away:

you might give it a try though :P

[00:02:24]

Chicory:

What's the difference between non-MCE and MCE renditions of PVR-150?

[00:02:52]

pushpop:

Honk where is mythtv lircrc located?

[00:02:53]

Chicory:

The remote?

[00:03:00]

regicide666:

pushpop, try this but change the button names to work with your remotehttp://pastebin.ca/169543

[00:03:31]

regicide666:

MCE only uses MCE remotes

Honk^away:

look at the output of your mythfrontend

[00:03:39]

Honk^away:

it should say where it's searching =)

[00:03:43]

regicide666:

so the pvr150 mce has an MCE remote

[00:03:48]

pushpop:

ok cool, what file do I put that under.

[00:04:29]

Chicory:

And that's ... IT?

[00:04:37]

Chicory:

That's the only difference? :P

[00:04:41]

regicide666:

as far as I know

[00:04:51]

** Chicory isn't shelling out $20 more for crap he won't use. XD;; **

[00:05:21]

regicide666:

If you don't use MCE don't get the MCE one

[00:05:36]

Pryon:

no, the MCE doesn't come with a remote

[00:05:48]

Pryon:

(mine didn't anyway)

[00:06:07]

Pryon:

Also, it has a radio tuner, whereas the non-mcd 150 does not (AFAICT)

[00:06:35]

regicide666:

yea thats true I have one with a radio tuner and one with the irblaster

[00:06:40]

regicide666:

I have never used the radio

[00:07:02]

Pryon:

I might figure out how to use it. I got the MCE because it's cheaper and I don't need the remote.

[00:07:10]

Chicory:

What's the difference between the 1042 and 1062 PCI interfaces?

[00:08:19]

Pryon:

THe 1062 comes with a MCE remote

[00:08:30]

Chicory:

Oh, they're model numbers.

[00:08:34]

** Chicory facepalms. **

[00:08:38]

Pryon:

according to the newegg specs, anyway

[00:09:56]

Chicory:

I wonder if these are refurbished.

[00:10:01]

Pryon:

looks like the audio in is different between mce and non-mce as well. I've got R/L RCA jacks. Non-mca looks like regular line in

[00:10:03]

Chicory:

$62 seems pretty damned cheap.

[00:10:18]

Pryon:

Mine was in a sealed antistatic bag. Looked new.

[00:10:19]

Chicory:

Mmm, that's very true. :s

[00:10:46]

Juski:

yay mythtv has recorded spooks even though I'd totally forgotten about it

[00:10:59]

Chicory:

Spooks?

[00:11:14]

Juski:

"Drama series about the British Security Service. The team are pushed to the limit as the country is plunged into chaos by a series of terrorist attacks. With the Prime Minister's position looking increasingly precarious and draconian emergency measures curtailing public freedoms, MI5 face the horrifying possibility that the country is under siege from sinister forces right at the heart of the establishment."

[00:11:42]

Anybody have any idea why, when I go to watch video and select a video, I only get a "loading" message? Using knoppmyth and trying to use my monitor. I can watch live tv, and watch the videos outside of mythtv.

[00:47:25]

Juski:

knoppMythNewbie: your player (which is configured in mythfrontend) doesn't like the videos? mythtv doesn't play videos with its internal player in mythvideo by default

[00:51:07]

knoppMythNewbie:

Juski: the box is a stand alone, it's master backend. On the "normal" desktop, I can select the app "MythTV". It comes up and I can select media library / watch videos, see a gallery of the videos, and select them. Isn't that how one would watch a video?

[00:51:55]

GreyFoxx:

By default non recordings are played by an external player spawned by mythvideo

[00:52:23]

GreyFoxx:

So, it sounds like the external app is not working

Juski:

GreyFoxx: put it so much better than me, as usual :)

[00:52:51]

GreyFoxx:

you can get myth to use the inernal player for mythvideo by changing the settings to use "Internal" for the player under the video settings

[00:53:26]

knoppMythNewbie:

In setup (one of them) there's an entry for a video player, it defaulted to xine.

[00:54:09]

GreyFoxx:

You can set it to any player,or you can set it to "Internal" touse the myth built in player

[00:55:15]

knoppMythNewbie:

Using xine in a command line I can view the videos

[00:55:57]

Juski:

the default setting is mplayer

[00:55:57]

GreyFoxx:

Then launch mythfrontend in an xterm and not from an icon

[00:56:05]

GreyFoxx:

and see if it is outputting something you are not seeing

[00:57:48]

knoppMythNewbie:

I must've been looking at the wrong setup... I'll look for mplayer. I'll also, if I understand this right, open a shell window and run "mythfrontend" and see what happens. Thanks for the hints and help GreyFoxx.

analog for cable

that's analog

you said it's digital

It's "digital cable" in that the quality is ultrahigh.

[01:50:25]

i said it is digital cable up to the box

[01:50:34]

Chicory:

The feed FROM the box is analog.

[01:50:34]

yes, quality would be ok

[01:50:46]

still different if you use a digital card

I live out in the country.

Chicory:

We don't GET cable lines out this far.

[01:52:25]

word, you showed GRANT command right?

[01:52:40]

word:

i used phpmyadmin to give the mythtv user GRANT

[01:52:44]

word:

it's had that though

[01:52:44]

defaultro:

you shouldn't be doing that based from what you said

[01:52:54]

Chicory:

That said, the local telephone cooperative formed a telecom company and figured out how to wirelessly broadcast a signal from a tower to individual setups across the county.

[01:53:04]

all you have to do is install .20, run mythtv-setup to upgrade the db and you're set

ok

j-e-f-f-A: Thats the nice part about Gentoo. You can use quick package to package up your current install and just revert back to it if .20 fubars you.

[03:17:38]

[03:17:42]

Is there some way we can poke at the guy who made that package to ask them what that's supposed to be doing?

[03:17:45]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A: yeah i got nvidia ones

[03:17:51]

word:

Dagmar: just figured out how..and forced mythtv to install

[03:18:01]

Dagmar:

...and maybe talk them into doing it in a less fragile way?

[03:18:10]

metalac:

also anyone knows why i don't have info for all the channels, just some like first 15 or so? should I re-run mythfilldatabase?

[03:18:33]

Dagmar:

metalac: Sounds like you told it you were using regular over-the-air channels.

[03:18:36]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac: Humm... It should look pretty good then – I've got a PVR-250 and PVR-500 (Which is just 2x150's), and the picture quality is great, even at 400x480...

[03:18:43]

Dagmar:

You sure it's not 1–13 you've got?

[03:18:55]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A: yeah i changed it to 720x480 and it looks good now

[03:19:02]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A: thnx

[03:19:23]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac: You probably don't have to go that high — I don't think the 150 can go much above 500x480 anyways...

[03:19:24]

metalac:

Dagmar: I don't think so, it scanned for all the channles, and even first 15 are not all there

[03:19:47]

Dagmar:

J-e-f-f-A: eh? The 150 should be able to do 720x480, at least in NTSC

[03:19:58]

word:

Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: Could not open network socket – i get that after forcing mythtv to install..well i got the same before but i assumed it was from not having this installed

[03:20:04]

Dagmar:

metalac: DVB or QAM or something?

[03:20:40]

metalac:

Dagmar: well it's just standard cable over pvr150

[03:20:48]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac, Dagmar: Yeah, it can capture to mpeg at that resolution, but the actual pixel resolution will be lower. Just like you can blow up a 320x240 picture to 640x480, it doesn't increase the *resolution* of the image.

[03:21:01]

Dagmar:

metalac: You shouldn't have to scan then. It should just be pulling the info from Zap2it

[03:21:14]

metalac:

Dagmar: oh ok

[03:21:43]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A, Dagmar: it says it will do 720x480 http://hauppauge.com/Pages/products/data_pvr150.html

[03:21:46]

Dagmar:

J-e-f-f-A: It's analog. If you're doing 720 horizontal, you're goign to get 720 pixels of definition. It's only the vertical you can't screw around with to get more detail

[03:22:05]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac: Try lowing the quality/resolution until you see a difference, then go up one... That way you get good quality, but the best file size...

[03:22:06]

brianko (brianko!n=brianko@unaffiliated/brianko) has quit ("This computer has gone to sleep")

Dagmar:

I keep mine at 640x480 for the livetv setting because I've got my display at a multiple of that

[03:22:23]

Dagmar:

...less work for scaling that way

[03:22:45]

Dagmar:

Although I might as well be running the s-video output at 640x480, my card gives better color at 1024x768. Go figure

[03:23:11]

J-e-f-f-A:

Dagmar: Yeah, but it's kinda a waste to go much higher than 640, or even 544... My Dish receivers are 544x480 native.

[03:23:38]

Dagmar:

Ah, yeah for that I wouldn't bother going above 640. I've got analog cable

[03:23:47]

Tall-guy:

And since you were all wondering......Yes, yes you can update an mythtv-suite.i386 with a mythtv-suite.noarch using yum....you need "exactarch=0" in yum.conf.....

[03:25:41]

J-e-f-f-A:

Dagmar: I'm actually using '400x480' for my 'default' setting, and '544x480' for my 'high quality' setting... Although 400x480 is slightly 'blurred', you can really only see the difference when there's text on the screen, and hardly when you're 8' away from the 20" monitor on the wall... ;-)

[03:27:24]

metalac:

well i got mine set to 720x480 and it looks GREAT

[03:28:01]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac: Yeah, it will... But probably at a 4 or 5GB/hour pricetag...

[03:28:23]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A: well i got 300gb, so it's cool :)

[03:30:12]

drive space is cheap :)

[03:30:24]

Beirdo:

anyways, time for me to go to bed

[03:30:46]

J-e-f-f-A:

metalac: Seriously, try dropping the resolution one step at a time until you see a difference, then bounce it back up one. You'll probably find you can get down to 544x480 before you see anything... What's your display btw? A monitor, or a tv?

[03:31:25]

metalac:

J-e-f-f-A: It's a 42" LCD TV, so i try to keep the res up high

[03:31:26]

any reason mythbackend depends on qt?

Myth uses things like QString, QDatetime, etc. and even the Qt interface to MySQL.

am I dreaming that I thought that Qt 4.x and beyond were separating out the gui stuff from the non-gui more like glib vs gtk.

I can get QT3's module compiled with it included but so far no love

ShockValue: you don't need an X server, just export mythtv-setup remotely by tunneling over ssh or exporting directly

[05:13:56]

you need X libs, but don't have to run the server.

You run setup on your local box

Captain_Murdoch:

on the local box, run this -> "ssh remote-backend mythtv-setup"

[05:21:44]

Captain_Murdoch:

might need "ssh -X" if you don't have ssh setup to enable X forwarding by default.

[05:21:49]

ok, thanks

sorry Dag, im not linux savvy enough to catch what you meant from that snippet

If you want setup run on your local box, run it on your local box.

Dag, you get off sitting on IRC all night and playing "im smarter than you because I can be obtuse and rude." ? last time i checked, this channel was set up for mythtv support and chat.

[05:25:02]

It's not exactly complex. Running mythtv-setup can be done pretty much anywhere. It stores stuff two places... One being the database server, the other being the file mysql.txt

[05:25:47]

Dagmar:

You don't need it on that local box

[05:26:01]

Dagmar:

Run it on anything you like, so long as you can figure out how to export the display to somewhere

[05:26:01]

ShockValue:

yes, Captain_Murdoch explained that to me.

[05:26:35]

Dagmar:

So your question means you don't know how to export the display of an X app to another machine then?

[05:27:10]

Dagmar:

Because strangely, I think when someone asks how they run something on a machine, they mean they want it running on that particular machine.

[05:27:52]

Dagmar:

`DISPLAY=wherever:0.0 mythtv-setup`, or if you've setup ssh tunneling for X on both ends, you don't even have to specify that much... it'll be handled automatically.

[05:28:25]

ShockValue:

yes, already been answered by someone with a bit of intuition into the nature of my query.

hey folks, finally, atscscan was able to find channels after introducing an cable amp in the cable. Found out from service menu that my comcast signal(20db) is very low which is not acceptable for qam256 scanning

not all the way cut though

[05:33:43]

here is what am planning to do next

[05:33:57]

bypass my cables, bring down STB to the comcast's wire

[05:34:10]

defaultro:

then go to service menu to check SNR

[05:34:27]

defaultro:

my snr was at 19 which is very low

[05:34:32]

Dagmar:

Cuts might introduce extra noise if you're in a heavily electrified area, but they're not that likeyl to cause signal drops unless they're halfway through the cable

[05:34:36]

yes

*are not

[05:42:04]

Dagmar, if you'd read the whole IRC log instead of randomly skipping lines, you'll see that I mentioned to him that he needed -X if he didn't have X forwarding setup by default.

in a few minutes

where #### is the SVN revision of the fixes branch that ebuild is against

[06:16:22]

anxt:

guess i will sync tree

[06:16:25]

Cardoe:

xris: I dunno why he said that.

[06:16:33]

Cardoe:

xris: since I put the tarballs on the Gentoo mirrors

[06:16:39]

Cardoe:

and the ebuilds only pull from there.

[06:16:41]

heh

[06:16:47]

yeah, no clue

[06:16:55]

since I know that box probably has high load... why add to it.

any Gentoo users hitting that system are not from me.

[06:17:22]

I make SVN snaps of -fixes

k it is building the deps now

[07:21:24]

PDiddy:

xris-how can I set the cable box one to be higher priority? I'm in setup right now poking around

[07:21:27]

Paladine:

helps if I update my repos after adding them :)

[07:21:46]

xris:

PDiddy: priority doesn't work properly yet

[07:22:00]

PDiddy:

oh

[07:22:02]

PDiddy:

hmm

[07:22:40]

PDiddy:

so is there a workaround to make the cable box the default? I don't think I want to run this way permanently, but I'd like to poke around and see what is actually available through that (and if it works at all)

[07:22:49]

PDiddy:

I'd rather not delete the two analog tuners if possible

[07:22:57]

Paladine:

k deps built

[07:23:13]

simcop2387:

PDiddy: theres a key you can hit to change inputs while watching, check mythcontrols

[07:23:23]

xris:

Paladine: do the svn checkout, like I said

[07:24:59]

Paladine:

guess I should install svn

[07:25:19]

Paladine:

this is pretty much a fresh install of dapper with the exception of bttv and tvtime

It was the "Y" key to switch tuners. went to a black screen for awhile, then booted me out. Something must not quite be right. I'll keep playing though. Thanks!

[07:27:56]

Paladine:

xris, I have never used svn before, only cvs, what do I need to install to use svn, there are a lot of svn packages in synaptic

[07:28:09]

xris:

just "subversion" should be enough

[07:28:16]

xris:

and it works just like cvs, but better. heh

[07:29:11]

hey any ideas what is coming up in .21?

[07:33:07]

simcop2387:

Mattwj2005: direct tv direct satalite viewing with bttv cards

[07:33:17]

** Mattwj2005 points up that MythTV will be drinking age :-P **

[07:33:28]

Mattwj2005:

how will that work?

[07:33:30]

Ribs:

haha

[07:33:47]

simcop2387:

Mattwj2005: it can't :) bttv cards can't tune to 12ghz signals

[07:33:50]

simcop2387:

typically...

[07:34:39]

Paladine:

what about dvb s2 cards?

[07:34:45]

Mattwj2005:

I don't know why that couldn't make cards that could....look at DVB-S cards for example....it is possible

[07:34:55]

Paladine:

they are supposed to support directtv and satellite

[07:35:11]

xris:

Paladine: s2 would be nice, but you'd still need a legal way to get around the encryption, and that won't happen

[07:35:47]

Paladine:

k checkout finished

[07:35:59]

Paladine:

I take itI don;t need to do svn update

[07:36:08]

xris:

no

[07:36:12]

xris:

not just after checkout

[07:36:15]

Mattwj2005:

I don't know why that just can't get it an access card like the receivers

[07:36:22]

Paladine:

thats what I figured :)

[07:36:30]

xris:

ok, so cd into mythtv and ./configure && make

[07:37:14]

xris:

and someone else is going to have to help you from here on out.. I need sleep.

[07:37:22]

simcop2387:

Mattwj2005: because DTV wants you to buy their pvrs, their hardware, their tvs (not yet but eventually why not?)

[07:37:26]

Paladine:

its making now

[07:37:38]

Mattwj2005:

good point

[07:37:45]

this is the part where I pray it doesn't fall over :)

I am surprise most people are so positive about Wikipedia

[07:46:56]

Paladine:

Mattwj2005, no offense but the average Joe doesn't really know a great deal, so they tend to believe the first thing they read and therefore don't realise the glaring problems with wikipedia

[07:47:00]

Paladine:

they assume it is accurate

[07:47:15]

I can see that

[07:48:06]

it's using CPU as DSP

[08:12:06]

whereas a2dp has HW DSP on board

[08:13:17]

well.. I don't know much about this stuff.. I just got my btsco thing working with skype... but that bluetooth-alsa project talks a lot about a2dp too

Dibblah: I wonder why I am the only one being affected then

Dibblah: the strange thing is.. "standard xvmc" acceleration seems to work, with little stuttering obviously because its not optimized.. via xvmc is just blank

Have you tried reverting to 0.19?

Thats the next thing I am going to try

I know it worked then

mac_:

however, 0.20 is nice from what I have seen.. instant channel switch :)

Dibblah:

That should narrow it down – Unless it's a setting that's accidentally been changed in the DB :(

But, um.. the 0.20 database is hardly compatible with 0.19, right?

[08:29:29]

mac_:

Good point. However, no backup. Silly me.

[08:29:33]

mac_:

But for testing, it will be fine.

[08:30:40]

well so far I get 6 HDTV channels

[08:30:56]

I wonder if there still can be some misconfigeration on my part

[08:34:05]

mac_:

Hmm.

[08:34:17]

mac_:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC seems to indicate that my CLE266 supports "unichrome"

[08:41:08]

mac_:

Does anyone know the difference between unichrome and unichrome-pro?

[08:43:12]

unichrome is less pro ;)

CN400 and PM800 chipsets are reported to support HDTV resolutions on VGA/DVI outputs. These are usually referred to as "Pro" chipsets.

scuse my spacebar

[09:02:43]

so go straight to section 6 now (MySQL) ?

I am suprised I got it working at all to be honest

set the schedules in myth.. then set the epg on sky to "auto view" whats in your sky schedule

3 hours max I reckon.. just for the hardware... it'll all setup already... just gonna be putting it all back together again and setting up a couple of new inputs (cam and dvd etc)

[11:34:42]

no need to rush then... the trains I've priced up will have me getting in about 1.30pm ish

is a mythtv slave able to operate on a AMD K6 350 mhz?

dopez:

i keep getting zero byte recordings every once in a while (say about 1 in 15 recordings) but also sometimes a recording with just black (the file is only around 100mb for 1 hour recording, this is with mythtv 0.20 and a dvbt-t terratec cinergy T2, the mailing lists do mention it a few times but mostly already over a year ago, is anyone here perhaps also seeing such issues?

[11:54:04]

also not, these channels are on 24/7

[11:55:25]

stuarta:

is the show you are recording starting when the channel starts broadcasting?

[11:55:43]

Dibblah:

You probably want a backend log with -v channel at least...

[11:55:56]

Dibblah:

stuarta: Apparently not ;)

[11:56:15]

stuarta:

doh!

[11:56:17]

dopez:

the recording with only black did start after upgrading to 0.20 though, didn't have that with 0.18 (i had to skip 0.19 because even with -fixes i hardly got any recordings)

[11:56:20]

dopez:

:)

[11:56:26]

** stuarta sends himself back to reading school **

i'll add that option to the backend

record as well, I guess.

[11:57:07]

Do you get *any* good recordings from that channel?

[11:57:26]

mac_:

Can mythtranscode make use of dual core/quad core systems?

[11:57:40]

yeah, it's really random as far as i can see, i do get most recordings, just once in a while not

would rt-patched kernel give any gains?

err, sorry, Dibblah, yep

[11:58:56]

dopez: although I've found that the kernel scheduler that guarantees a response in a certain maximum length of time helps

[11:59:02]

dopez:

(tab user)

[11:59:06]

Dibblah:

You may want to change your recording profiles to not record all streams.

[11:59:14]

Dibblah:

("Video only", etc)

[11:59:17]

stuarta:

drear: that was for you sorry.

[11:59:42]

dopez:

stuarta: you think it might be a timing issue?

[12:00:13]

drear:

stuarta, you mean the cfq io scheduler?

[12:00:13]

dopez:

Dibblah: i think it already does that, wasn't that the option 'write .ts files' in mythtv-setup?

[12:00:13]

Dibblah:

Some DVB-t fobs don't do may PID filters, so when a channel has too many 'interactive' streams, Myth can't handle them all.

[12:00:21]

stuarta:

dopez: sorry answered drear's question to you ...

[12:00:31]

dopez:

stuarta: ah okay, no problem :)

[12:00:34]

Dibblah:

dopez: No. It's in the frontend. Recording profiles.

[12:00:57]

Dibblah:

stuarta: Aren't video / audio PIDs prioritised now?

[12:01:21]

dopez:

Dibblah: oh okay, i'll have a look at that then, i know from this dvb-t box that it filters it in 'hardware' even though it's usb2 only

[12:01:23]

stuarta:

drear: sounds like it, but can't check atm...

[12:01:39]

Dibblah:

ie it'll prefer to drop a not-interesting stream...

[12:01:51]

drear:

stuarta, yep. just popped into my mind because rt-patches would give the complete real-time preemption

[12:01:55]

stuarta:

Dibblah: suspect you are thinking of the PMT prioritising/filtering...

[12:02:13]

Dibblah:

Maybe... I don't know :)

[12:02:46]

dopez:

okay, set to tv-only now, will test it

[12:02:46]

stuarta:

drear: i've found the rt scheduling doesn't help really, just the one that say's it'll get back to you in a maximum length of time...

so I've ghetto'ed it with 8 sca-to-scsi adapters and a rather expensive cable

[13:00:40]

Dibblah:

Ewww...

[13:00:48]

Ruleke:

I just got me one of them internal hotplug enclosures on the cheap

[13:01:03]

LabMonkey:

now... all of the little sca adapters have four holes on them like the motherboard mounting holes

[13:01:28]

Dibblah:

I didn't. http://s2r.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/madcase.jpg

[13:01:38]

LabMonkey:

so my idea was to make a mounting bracket to affix those sca boards to the case, thus making the bigger drives truly hotplug

[13:01:42]

Paladine:

hmm I just realised my audio output is only oming through the left channel

[13:01:44]

Ruleke:

ugh

Dibblah:

That's my backup box.

[13:02:00]

Paladine:

anyone know how to fix that?

[13:02:47]

LabMonkey:

Paladine: first, make sure your audio cables are plugged in correctly (and fully)

[13:03:03]

stuarta:

Dibblah: that's quite ghetto...

[13:03:13]

Paladine:

Lab, it is only doing it for capture

[13:03:18]

LabMonkey:

second, find out if it's recording or playback

[13:03:20]

LabMonkey:

ok

[13:03:22]

but I have to mute line-in cos of the delay (and also use line-in as the capture)

[13:04:06]

the output from the capture is only mono

[13:04:11]

Dibblah:

At least the cabling's a _little_ neat.

Paladine, sounds like something in the capture settings of the mixer.

[13:09:02]

hmm maybe that explains wtf is wrong with the raid setup

[13:09:16]

Paladine:

Ijust checked all the setting in alsa mixer, everything is stereo

[13:09:19]

LabMonkey:

every time I put some load on it the arrays freak out and I get funky fs errors

[13:09:31]

LabMonkey:

I reset/power cycle and it's fine

[13:09:34]

Personally, I'd go SATA. And get a real PSU :)

[13:09:45]

LabMonkey:

well

[13:09:50]

simon_c:

Paladine, check ruleke's sugestion.

[13:09:53]

Dibblah:

My other server has a real PSU.

[13:09:58]

LabMonkey:

the PSU is a 550W EPS12V

[13:10:14]

Dibblah:

Which you have 7 disks hanging off?

[13:10:32]

LabMonkey:

but if what you're saying is true then I'm looking at like 1100+ watts

[13:10:43]

LabMonkey:

8

[13:10:46]

Dibblah:

Eh? Not really. More like 300.

[13:10:56]

Ruleke:

disks aren't that much :Pµ

[13:11:09]

Dibblah:

Disks are about 8w for recent ones, 15 for older.

[13:11:27]

LabMonkey:

8 drives, 2 CPUs, mobo, raid controller, scsi controller

[13:11:27]

Paladine:

how do I go out of LiveTV mode?

[13:11:36]

LabMonkey:

I'm gonna assume 15W

[13:11:51]

Dibblah:

TDP of the CPUs is 85W.

[13:11:55]

LabMonkey:

because these are slightly older seagate 181GB drives

[13:12:01]

Dibblah:

Err... 75W.

[13:12:07]

LabMonkey:

TDP?

Dibblah:

Unless you're having RAID issues, of course.

[13:17:10]

LabMonkey:

active brings me to 500W

[13:17:21]

LabMonkey:

and the PSU is 550

[13:17:33]

LabMonkey:

that's not accounting for how much the raid controller is using

[13:17:39]

Dibblah:

550w is probably an optimistic rating, as well.

[13:17:41]

LabMonkey:

and fans

[13:17:43]

Dibblah:

What's the RAID card?

[13:17:47]

LabMonkey:

perc is quite cool.

well the thing is huge

[13:18:09]

LabMonkey:

full-size pcix

[13:18:20]

it recorded them with only the left channel too

If you have a seperate PSU, try putting just the disks on it.

Dibblah:

RAID5?

[13:19:34]

LabMonkey:

the internal drives, yeah

[13:19:44]

LabMonkey:

but one of them is reporting failed so it's actually running degraded now

[13:20:02]

LabMonkey:

all 8 are powered, one dead, and another one flaky so there's only 6 drives actually doing anything

[13:20:25]

LabMonkey:

the config is 7 drives in a raid5 with 1 hot spare (the dead one atm)

Paladine, when you say you want to "go out" of live TV, what are you wanting to do, go to the program guide, watch recorded shows... :-)

[13:21:42]

Paladine:

no Iwant to get stereo sound working

[13:21:47]

Paladine:

its really annoying

[13:21:51]

LabMonkey:

Dibblah: yeah I'm thinking now I might just get like a 700+W redundant psu

[13:22:05]

seth|laptop:

ah, are you only getting one cannel, or just mono over 2 channels?

[13:22:07]

LabMonkey:

would require another slight modification to the case, but that's not much of a big deal at this point

[13:22:11]

Paladine:

1 channel

[13:22:15]

Paladine:

just the left channel

[13:23:00]

seth|laptop:

is this just during TV playback, or all the time? Movies, tunes, etc

[13:23:14]

LabMonkey:

Paladine: kinda sounds like the right channel is muted for recording

[13:24:14]

seth|laptop:

is the recorded source coming in from a cable coax, or like the Yellow, Red, White on a PVR card?

[13:25:45]

Paladine:

neither

[13:25:55]

seth|laptop:

??

[13:25:59]

Paladine:

it is rca to stereo jack from the set top box to my line in on my soundcard

[13:26:10]

seth|laptop:

cable good?

[13:26:16]

Paladine:

my bt878 card doesn't have audio

[13:26:33]

Paladine:

yeah the cable is fine as soon as I unmute Line In I get stereo sound

[13:26:42]

seth|laptop:

I had a bad cable from my dish network receiver to my pvr150, the left channel wouldn't work. I replaced the cable, and that resolved the issue

[13:26:44]

Paladine:

but then I get hit with the delay

[13:27:02]

seth|laptop:

hmmm

[13:28:13]

Cardoe:

Who knows the depends for mytharchive?

[13:28:52]

Dibblah:

Woo. There's a shock. Mplayer takes less CPU than Myth when passing through the video stream.

[13:28:57]

seth|laptop:

Paladine, have you tried, disabling "Agressive Soundcard Buffering" in the setup menus?

[13:29:44]

LabMonkey:

Dibblah: maybe something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104160

[13:30:01]

LabMonkey:

but $350 for a PSU makes me a sad panda

[13:30:04]

seth|laptop:

There are two instances I can think of, one in the main "General Settings" under the audio tab, and one in the "TV settings" "TV playback" area

[13:30:28]

seth|laptop:

taht may eliminate the delay you are having

[13:30:57]

Paladine:

it isn't enabled

[13:31:22]

LabMonkey:

Dibblah: actually... now that I think about it.....

[13:31:22]

seth|laptop:

as for experience with the brooktree cards, I have none, so I am not sure what else to suggest, other than the cable or the buffering

[13:31:43]

Dibblah:

LabMonkey: Personally, I wouldn't. Mainly because the efficiency of PSUs is _really_ bad when running below ratings.

[13:32:06]

LabMonkey:

the problem happens when I put load on the drives... but it does it with the external drives too and they're running on their own PSU

[13:32:41]

Dibblah:

Well, actually, since you say you're having issues, I'd seriously look at cabling / termination again :(

[13:32:55]

Dibblah:

And... Buy a goat. You'll need it for step 3.

[13:32:58]

LabMonkey:

which brings me back to thinking it's a controller/cabling/termination issue

[13:32:58]

seth|laptop:

I am currently experiencing issue with my mythfrontend, running at like 60% + when watching HDTV, it is causeing my digital audio to fade in and out, this too is very frustrating. I think I will roll back from knoppmyth r5d1 to the original working rdc7

[13:33:36]

LabMonkey:

hmm... I need a place to dump like 100GB

[13:33:37]

seth|laptop:

or rather r5c7, doh!

[13:33:43]

Dibblah:

What do your SCSI chains look like?

[13:33:48]

seth|laptop:

cd-rw

[13:34:09]

Dibblah:

I backed up my 800Gb array to DVD. It wasn't fun.

[13:34:17]

LabMonkey:

6x 73GB drives on IDs 1–6 in the external box, 8x 181GB drives internal on IDs 8–15

[13:34:20]

Dibblah:

Gave up and bought more disks :)

[13:34:28]

Dibblah:

All on the same controller?

[13:34:31]

LabMonkey:

yeah

[13:34:47]

seth|laptop:

wow 800GB, I thought my 300 was excessive

[13:34:54]

Dibblah:

The PERC has 2 channels, though. So, you need 4 terminators.

[13:35:02]

LabMonkey:

no

[13:35:11]

seth|laptop:

but when you catalogue dvd's, even at "good" quality, I can see needing more space, in like 2 years

[13:35:11]

LabMonkey:

all of them are on the first channel

[13:35:13]

Dibblah:

Unless the PERC is internally terminated.

[13:35:19]

Paladine:

is there anyway I can get alsa to mix the left channel to all the speakers making it mono instead of just playing on the left channel?

[13:35:41]

LabMonkey:

and yeah it has internal termination

[13:35:44]

Paladine:

at least I would have balance then

[13:35:45]

Dibblah:

Check in your BIOS of the PERC that it _isn't_ terminated if it's in the middle of the chain.

[13:35:58]

seth|laptop:

use alsamixer, disable master by pressing "m" and right beside it is master mono enable that by hitting "m" again

[13:36:30]

Dibblah:

seth|laptop: That's cheating :)

[13:36:34]

seth|laptop:

hehe

[13:36:38]

Paladine:

k that worked

[13:36:40]

seth|laptop:

but it may help

[13:36:50]

LabMonkey:

Dibblah: bios shows both chains with "Termination State = Enabled" and "Initiator ID = 7"

[13:36:51]

seth|laptop:

;-)

[13:37:15]

Paladine:

actually no it didn'

[13:37:17]

Dibblah:

Okay. So, the end of each cable is plugged into the PERC?

[13:37:21]

seth|laptop:

hmm

[13:37:24]

Paladine:

now it is only playing to the back left speaker

[13:37:27]

Dibblah:

And the termination on the other end?

[13:37:53]

LabMonkey:

the internal drives are connected to the internal connector for channel 1 and the external drives are connected to the external connector for channel 1

[13:38:03]

LabMonkey:

on both ends there is a terminator

[13:38:16]

Dibblah:

Ewww. Disable termination on the PERC.

[13:38:38]

Dibblah:

If it's all one channel, you only should have 2 terminators.

[13:38:45]

LabMonkey:

hmm

[13:38:52]

LabMonkey:

k lemme hit it with tiobench now

[13:41:28]

LabMonkey:

bad part about all this

[13:41:52]

whenever the controller freaks out I get tons of errors recorded to /var/log/kern.log

[13:45:07]

Dibblah:

SATA.

[13:45:22]

Merlin83b:

Didn't know SATA did port multipliers, thought that was a SAS thing.

[13:45:37]

Ruleke:

It's in some external eSATA enclosures... which makes em nicer :) 1 cable needed

[13:45:56]

Paladine:

I will just use tvtime til my pvr150 arrives tomorrow

[13:46:00]

Dibblah:

Also means that less host ports are needed.

[13:46:25]

Dibblah:

So you can use a core-duo motherboard, and get similar throughput to a 'real' server Xeon motherboard.

[13:46:26]

Ruleke:

of course :)

[13:46:46]

Ruleke:

well get 20 drives on it ;)

[13:46:56]

6 ? wow

[13:47:15]

cool :)

[13:47:24]

Dibblah:

Well, actually 8. But you can't use 2 of them.

[13:47:57]

Paladine:

coming out of all 4 speakers in tv time cos there is no delay so I don't have to capture the line-in input and reprocess it

[13:54:09]

seth|laptop:

so does this mean that the output signal on the brooktree card, is possibly bad?

I am guessing that this other device youa re using, is using the same output to line in cable that the brooktree card was?

[13:54:52]

Paladine:

yeah

[13:54:58]

Ruleke:

It probably isn't ?

[13:55:04]

Ruleke:

you muted the line-in ?

[13:55:14]

Paladine:

but I am just running the audio seperate from the video

[13:55:31]

Paladine:

with tv time all it does is display the video

[13:55:36]

Paladine:

it doesn't touch the audio

[13:55:50]

Paladine:

and there is no delay on the video because it is not a pvr

[13:56:09]

Ruleke:

you lost me ages ago, I have no idea what your setup is like

[13:56:26]

Paladine:

the reason it has a problem with mythtv is because of the 2 second delay on the video output

[13:57:02]

Paladine:

well I have a bt878 card without audio support

[13:57:07]

Paladine:

the mm200

[13:57:25]

Paladine:

all it handles is video

[13:57:37]

Paladine:

so I run the audio straight into my sound card from the set top box

[13:57:57]

Paladine:

which works fine with tvtime because as I said, there is no delay on the video

[13:58:04]

Paladine:

so the video and audio sync

[13:58:19]

Paladine:

but because mythtv allows you to pause livetv

[13:58:34]

k-man_:

is there anything one has to watch for in upgrading from .19 to .20 using the .debs?

[13:58:35]

Paladine:

it has to have a delay between the video signal coming in and you actually seeing it

[13:58:49]

Paladine:

so it has a cache

[13:59:03]

Paladine:

which means if I try and run the sound independently through line in on the sound card

[13:59:09]

Paladine:

I get a sync issue of 2 seconds

[13:59:24]

Paladine:

so I have to mute the line in and set it to capture

[13:59:32]

Paladine:

which is then processed in sync with the video

[13:59:44]

Paladine:

but I lose the right channel

[13:59:56]

Paladine:

for some odd peculiar reason

[14:00:07]

Ruleke:

hmm

[14:00:23]

Ruleke:

how about just compensating for the delay ? :)

[14:00:49]

Paladine:

well for recording I would still need to capture the line in signal

[14:00:56]

Paladine:

or the video I record wouldhave no audio

[14:01:19]

Ruleke:

yeah that's messy anyway, good thing I never used such cards

[14:01:46]

Paladine:

alsa is capturing a stereo signal, but it is only outputting a single channel

[14:02:34]

Paladine:

it won't matter tomorrow

[14:02:58]

Paladine:

because I will have my pvr150 and the audio from the stb will go straight into the pvr card

[14:03:04]

Paladine:

as opposed to the line in on my sound card

Paladine:

the mm200 was always nothing more than a cheap temporary hack

[14:04:17]

Paladine:

there is a way to mod the mm200 to enable the audio on it

[14:04:28]

Paladine:

it actually has audio capability

[14:04:47]

Paladine:

just the manufacturers in their wisdom decided not to provide a physical interface for it

[14:05:03]

so you have to solder an audio connector directly onto the board

[14:09:08]

LabMonkey:

while tiobench was running

[14:09:18]

Paladine:

its supposed to work in linux without the mod

[14:09:22]

Dibblah:

Ouch.

[14:09:26]

Paladine:

but I couldn't get it to work

[14:09:37]

LabMonkey:

I wiggled cables again (specifically the sca adapters) and now it sees the drives fine

[14:09:59]

LabMonkey:

question is whether the megaraid driver will allow me to remount that array now

[14:10:00]

Dibblah:

I'd be suspecting that the lash-up isn't working too well :(

[14:10:09]

lash-up?

[14:10:10]

Dibblah:

A fakeraid?

[14:10:18]

no it's real raid

[14:10:28]

Dibblah:

Ah. Sorry – Yes :)

[14:10:41]

I wiggle until the lights go out, go into the card's management util and they report ok

[14:12:05]

LabMonkey:

so I mark them online

[14:12:24]

LabMonkey:

and then pray that I don't have to reboot to re-mount that partition

[14:12:59]

Dibblah:

Well, if you're wiggling, and it's working, I'd seriously be thinking it's the cabling.

[14:13:00]

so are these *.nuv files the temporary mythtv cached data for pausing livetv?

[14:13:14]

Dibblah:

Paladine: Yes. And recordings.

[14:13:19]

or one of the sca adapters

or depending on the format used, they will play just fine :)

[14:17:10]

If you have a btxxx card you cannot record them into anything but a nuv file, you can only choose between the mpeg4 or rtjpeg codec

[14:17:42]

seth|laptop:

I think I am just rolling back to knoppmyth r5c7, that worked groovy, but I couldn't figure out how to get my IR blaster to work with my dishnetwork receiver, ther has to be a file I can down load to use with the older version

[14:17:43]

kleptophobiac2:

is there some reason that i get no picture when i have opengl vsync compiled in? audio works, but i just see my desktop

[14:17:56]

LabMonkey:

but you can use nuvexport to *export* the *nuv* files into something else..........

[14:17:57]

they are quiote large files, do they delete themselves automatically after a certain time frame?

yes

[14:19:20]

my box has dual 300GB SATA drives in a raid1 with a 500GB partition just for recordings

[14:19:39]

LabMonkey:

err

[14:19:40]

LabMonkey:

raid0

[14:19:43]

kleptophobiac2:

why raid0?

[14:19:53]

kleptophobiac2:

seems like a bad idea

[14:19:53]

Paladine:

Dibblah, oh space isn't an issue, I have 1/2tb on this box and lots more available on the network

[14:20:39]

LabMonkey:

two reasons for raid0... more space and the transfers are spread across multiple drives

[14:20:40]

Paladine:

raid0 is faster

[14:20:55]

kleptophobiac2:

LabMonkey – try using LVM instead

[14:20:58]

kleptophobiac2:

it's more reliable

[14:21:00]

[14:21:05]

lvm can dir

[14:21:06]

it is quicker to write to raid0 than it is to write to a non raideddrive

[14:21:06]

LabMonkey:

die*

[14:21:07]

Dibblah:

Ummm... What?

[14:21:17]

LabMonkey:

as far as I'm concerned

[14:21:19]

Dibblah:

Paladine: That entirely depends.

[14:21:28]

kleptophobiac2:

LabMonkey – it's more likely to survive if one drive fails than raid0, which is a guaranteed failure

[14:21:29]

LabMonkey:

I've never used LVM and I have no intention of starting now

[14:21:29]

Paladine:

as a general rule it is quicker

[14:21:35]

Dibblah:

On some RAID implementations, that's true.

[14:21:40]

** seth|laptop uses LVM **

[14:21:50]

Beirdo:

RAID0 is pretty useless for redundancy

[14:21:50]

LabMonkey:

kleptophobiac2: if one of the drives in my raid0 fails I'll restore from tape

[14:21:51]

Paladine:

specifically raid0

[14:21:54]

** Dibblah uses RAID. And backups. **

[14:21:56]

kleptophobiac2:

haha, alright

[14:21:57]

GreyFoxx:

If you are looking for reliabilty use raid5

[14:22:02]

kleptophobiac2:

GreyFoxx – cheer!

[14:22:02]

Beirdo:

i.e. it's NOT RAID

[14:22:16]

Dibblah:

Beirdo: RAID is pretty much the definition of redundant.

[14:22:29]

Dibblah:

Data stored more than once == redundant data.

[14:22:40]

Paladine:

raid0 isn't about redundancy

[14:22:41]

LabMonkey:

but raid0 is not redundant at all

[14:22:42]

Beirdo:

as RAID means "redundant" and there's nothing redundant about RAID0

[14:22:45]

Paladine:

raid0 is about speed

[14:22:48]

LabMonkey:

anyway

[14:22:51]

Dibblah:

Heh. Apologies. Yes.

[14:22:52]

LabMonkey:

the bottom line is

[14:22:53]

Paladine:

striping is faster than none striped data

[14:23:02]

LabMonkey:

raid0 is slightly faster for me

[14:23:05]

kleptophobiac2:

but do you really need the speed for bulk storage?

[14:23:06]

Beirdo:

RAID0 works about the same as LVM, and LVM's a better implementation :)

[14:23:14]

LabMonkey:

and spanning gives me more space on a single partition

[14:23:21]

LabMonkey:

that was my goal with the tv box

[14:23:21]

Paladine:

kleptophobiac2, for video capture? I would say so yes

[14:23:33]

LabMonkey:

now... the file server is the box I'm having difficulty with

[14:23:40]

kleptophobiac2:

i have three capture cards and I use a striped LVM. it works great

[14:23:42]

Paladine:

unless you have uber RAM

[14:23:44]

LabMonkey:

that box has redundancy

[14:23:47]

Dibblah:

If anyone's wondering about trying it, don't use in-kernel raid10. It's not too great performance wise.

[14:24:02]

Beirdo:

heh, I use hardware RAID5

[14:24:10]

Dibblah:

kleptophobiac2: Until you get a drive failure.

[14:24:11]

kleptophobiac2:

i'm too cheap for that :P but i envy the setup

[14:24:18]

LabMonkey:

my real raid box has a ~200GB raid10 and a ~1TB raid5

[14:24:22]

Paladine:

I have hardware raid0,1,5 and 10 on this box iirc

[14:24:27]

Paladine:

but I don't use raid

[14:24:28]

Beirdo:

with LVM on top of the RAID5

[14:24:33]

Paladine:

can't be assed with it

[14:24:41]

kleptophobiac2:

LVM on top of RAID5 is the ideal solution

[14:24:49]

Beirdo:

aye

[14:25:06]

LabMonkey:

and as far as the raid0 in my mythbox goes... it's dmraid, so it's not real raid anyway

[14:25:06]

Dibblah:

Nope. Storage not based on rotating rust is the ideal solution.

[14:25:13]

Beirdo:

especially with real hardware RAID5 where it doesn't slow down your processor

[14:25:18]

kleptophobiac2:

[14:26:09]

Dibblah:

Bah. They're all just oxides. ;)

[14:26:34]

well solid state storage is obviously the best solution, since it is far faster and doesn't wear (or rather wear so negligably as to never be an issue over a normal human lifetime)

[14:26:40]

Paladine:

but it is uber expensive

[14:26:48]

wonder if maxell released their holographic storage on schedule

[14:27:42]

kleptophobiac2:

most of those chips are made on monocrystalline silicon wafer, just like CPU's

[14:27:51]

Paladine:

flash memory is generally very very cheap silicon

[14:28:00]

Paladine:

hense why flash drives are so cheap

[14:28:09]

Dibblah:

Paladine: Depends if you buy on eBay.

[14:28:10]

kleptophobiac2:

flash drives are cheap because densities have gone up

[14:28:23]

kleptophobiac2:

and they get a bazillion chips per wafer

[14:28:25]

Paladine:

no they are cheap cos they are made from cheap materials

organic storage already exists

[14:31:09]

Paladine:

but itwillbe years til it hits the market

[14:31:16]

kleptophobiac2:

flash memory works by tunneling a charge across an oxide layer to a charge island

[14:31:17]

Honk^away:

kleptophobiac2: you can spread that over the entire drive though

[14:31:32]

kleptophobiac2:

that oxide layer breaks down to allow the charge to pass

[14:31:38]

Beirdo:

stupid ISP

[14:31:39]

kleptophobiac2:

after enough cycles

[14:31:41]

Beirdo:

organic storage = use your brain :)

[14:31:43]

kleptophobiac2:

there's not enough oxide left to insulate

[14:31:48]

kleptophobiac2:

and the charge leaks off

[14:32:12]

kleptophobiac2:

the quality of the oxide and the regularity of the silicon wafer and its dopants

[14:32:15]

kleptophobiac2:

does have an effect

[14:32:17]

Paladine:

well optical disks (dvds and cdrs) are semi organic

[14:32:25]

Paladine:

generally matalised cyanine

[14:32:27]

kleptophobiac2:

but "cheap" silicon makes it to 1000 cycles

[14:32:41]

kleptophobiac2:

the state of the art is 100–200k cycles

[14:33:08]

Paladine:

but I was at a dvdr factory in Hong Kong a couple of years back and they were doing some pretty amazing stuff with organics in the R&D lab

[14:33:32]

kleptophobiac2:

there's also that mich scientist that's come up with interlinking proteins that should increase storage densities by 100x

[14:34:05]

kleptophobiac2:

anyway, i have a circuit board to design

[14:34:11]

iirc correctly there wasan article floaing around the web last year about using organics and light as well

[14:35:59]

psuedo holographic storage

[14:43:52]

Paladine:

sodo you guys have like all your viewing scheduled planned out for every hour of the week?

[14:43:52]

fryfrog:

LabMonkey: perc, sounds like dell? they *may* have requested that their raid controller work cross hardware

[14:44:00]

fryfrog:

Dibblah: he loses all his data ;p

seth|laptop:

I am in the US and use labs.zap2it.com, maybe its different elsewhere

[14:44:22]

fryfrog:

Paladine: what do you mean? The whole point of PVR is that you save up lots of shows and watch them at your leasure

[14:44:31]

Paladine:

cos man I am always forgetting to watch something, being able to setup myth to remember for me would rock :)

[14:44:34]

fryfrog:

so you don't have to "plan to the hour"

[14:44:38]

Dibblah:

Paladine: It doesn't work like that. You record what you want to watch. Then watch what you want to watch, when you have time.

[14:44:44]

Paladine:

well i am at my pc a lot

[14:44:50]

fryfrog:

myth is for the tv

[14:44:52]

fryfrog:

well

[14:45:04]

fryfrog:

i mean, it is *meant* to be hooked to your tv just like tivo / etc

[14:45:15]

** stuarta watches all his recordings on his pc **

[14:45:16]

fryfrog:

the interface is designed with a "remote" in mind

[14:45:17]

Myth is much more comfortable from a sofa.

[14:45:29]

for example I have currently been awake for 32 hours and have been at my pc for the majority of that time

[14:45:42]

Ruleke:

always healthy

[14:45:45]

Paladine:

and only had 2.5 hours sleep prior to that

[14:45:48]

I'm not trying anything with it until the rebuild finishes though

stop talkign about raid and HD :)

fryfrog:

ahah

[14:47:13]

fryfrog:

yeah, don't fuck around until its done scrubbing :)

[14:47:23]

fryfrog:

reminds me, i should check mdstat

[14:47:43]

Ruleke:

I prefer md over expensive raid for this kind of application I think

[14:47:51]

fryfrog:

usually i don't notice drive failures until the server sitting next to me is going *click* *click* *click*

[14:47:52]

Ruleke:

no format lock-in either ;)

i concur!

[14:48:26]

hehe

[14:48:36]

fryfrog:

actually, i have a much worse problem

[14:48:42]

Ruleke:

don't worry, you'll notice when a second drive fails ;)

[14:48:45]

fryfrog:

at boot, it doesn't detect all the drives in the array

Errr... Sorry. My inner geek's showing.

[14:49:44]

HD drives :)

[14:49:49]

Hardware RAID partition type.

[14:49:53]

Ruleke:

ah yes

[14:49:56]

Ruleke:

heh

[14:50:00]

fryfrog:

ah, let me look

[14:50:02]

fryfrog:

in fdisk, right?

I think he meant the drives itself even... no ?

And is RAID loaded after all drives are accessible (no modules required)

[14:50:40]

Dibblah:

Heh :)

[14:50:42]

fryfrog:

the partitions are not set that way

[14:50:44]

Ruleke:

Dibblah: you should've said 0xfd, then I woulda got it ;)

[14:50:55]

fryfrog:

can i change it non-destructivly, while its up?

[14:50:59]

Dibblah:

Just change them. Has no impact until you reboot.

[14:51:05]

fryfrog:

thanks

[14:51:17]

Ruleke:

well some programs do the ioctl to re-read

[14:51:19]

fryfrog:

i've been wondering wtf was up with that for about a year now :)

[14:52:10]

Dibblah:

I pity the people that have 'whole drive' RAID setups. Yes, it gains you an extra 24,000 bytes over the array – But no autodetection sucks.

[14:52:26]

seth|laptop:

how would one find which version of the v4l-dvb driver they are using?

[14:52:37]

qu0zl:

check dmesg?

[14:52:42]

seth|laptop:

hmm

[14:52:58]

fryfrog:

okay to paste 3 lines here you think?

[14:53:01]

fryfrog:

or pastebin it?

[14:53:07]

fryfrog:

bah, i can make it one line

[14:53:33]

Ruleke:

hehe

[14:53:39]

fryfrog:

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The new table will be used at the next reboot.

[14:53:42]

fryfrog:

that is the error i get

[14:53:44]

Ruleke:

stop asking in 3 lines if you can paste one ;)

[14:53:46]

fryfrog:

the first implies it failed

[14:53:55]

Ruleke:

that's ok

[14:53:56]

fryfrog:

the second implies it didn't :/

[14:53:58]

fryfrog:

kk

[14:54:01]

Ruleke:

will read it next boot

[14:54:41]

man, i can't wait to reboot :)

Now YOUR inner geek is showing.

[14:54:54]

Ruleke:

:P

[14:54:59]

fryfrog:

i'm *almost* tempted to do it now... but i have such bad luck :(

[14:55:21]

fryfrog:

i *always* have some stupid issue :(

[14:55:34]

fryfrog:

until about 6 months ago, my server just *wouldn't* reboot

[14:55:44]

fryfrog:

i finally figured out it hated having all 3 pci slots full

[14:55:46]

fryfrog:

which is *lame*

[14:56:07]

fryfrog:

now at least it reboots, but if i do it remotly i can almost be sure i neglected *one* little thing :p

[14:56:25]

fryfrog:

so i'll just reboot it 15min before i leave work, so i don't have to suffer w/o IRC!

[14:56:38]

Ruleke:

hah

[14:56:45]

fryfrog:

btw, how did you know the 'fd' thing so ... quickly?

[14:56:50]

Ruleke:

different boxes for me :)

[14:57:13]

Ruleke:

autodetect failing is the only symptom

[14:57:24]

fryfrog:

I decided to consolidate linux boxes, my puter room was to noisey :)

[14:58:03]

Ruleke:

I did the inverse when I needed more storage

[14:58:17]

Ruleke:

backend mythtv is now also the network fileserver

[14:59:37]

fryfrog:

I found an *awsome* case and stuck 5x 320G drives in it :)

[14:59:51]

fryfrog:

i'd like to get a dual core socket 939 cpu for it now that they are so cheap

[15:00:03]

Ruleke:

320G was a bit expensive for me

[15:00:04]

fryfrog:

maybe use *its* cpu in a frontend for the tv

[15:00:10]

Ruleke:

got 4 250's

[15:00:15]

fryfrog:

the "perfect" was 250G at the time

[15:00:34]

fryfrog:

but i needed to go above what 5x 250G would get

[15:00:34]

Beirdo:

fryfrog, and run xen or vservers or something on it?

[15:00:47]

fryfrog:

Beirdo: nah, just drool on it :)

[15:00:51]

fryfrog:

but xen is a good idea

[15:00:56]

Beirdo:

heh

[15:01:02]

fryfrog:

maybe seperate off my webserver and samba server into virtuals

[15:01:10]

fryfrog:

but...

[15:01:16]

Beirdo:

yeah, my build server runs vservers

[15:01:19]

fryfrog:

since myth would still have to run native, i prolly wouldn't bother

[15:01:25]

Beirdo:

xen didn't support AMD64 when I started

[15:01:37]

Beirdo:

you can run myth in the master context or whatever xen calls it

[15:01:43]

fryfrog:

oh?

[15:01:48]

fryfrog:

i've not read much about xen

[15:01:54]

Beirdo:

you should be able to

[15:01:59]

Ruleke:

I tend to use old low-spec hardware for the various tasks in the house :)

[15:02:00]

there is the odd report of the backend running in a domU

Ruleke, same here... I have old pentium 1's running my cctv and my fileserver

[15:02:29]

fryfrog:

vservers is another product like xen i assume?

[15:02:40]

Beirdo:

the other contexts in vservers won't access the hardware as easily

[15:02:43]

Ruleke:

hehe p2–300 myth backend

[15:02:46]

Beirdo:

yeah, less overhead

[15:02:54]

Beirdo:

less virtualization

[15:03:09]

Beirdo:

it's more like chroot jails with more kernel protection

[15:03:21]

Beirdo:

like domains in Sol10 or something along those lines

[15:03:29]

Beirdo:

that reminds me... I wanted to download Sol10

[15:05:15]

simon_c:

Ruleke, I've not specifically done anything to strip it.

[15:05:21]

and if you learn Solaris, you get to play with much bigger hardware

I rang em up.. said "you are using a linux server there right?" "yes! of course"... got there.. was solaris...

Ruleke, I'll try stripping it, see what that does.

[15:06:03]

mkrufky:

I got quite a large update last night in FC5 using the atrpms repo... Now mythfrontend uses 100% CPU on HD streams :-( ..... it's a bit choppy now, but it was perfect before the upgrade. If it helps, my previous version used the myth protocol 26, current version uses protocol 30 ... any advice?

[15:06:06]

Kelerion:

I have a t2000 in my loft that had solaris on it... I barfed that and tried getting linux on it... it's still sitting there with half an OS on it.. lol

[15:06:17]

i would think the mpeg decoder would be the problem, but im not sure

[15:06:19]

janneg: for me, if I watch something that I have alreadt transcoded down , it plays smooth. but if i play an untouched mpeg2 recording, 720p, that's the only thing that plays choppy

Cardoe:

and I need a patch to make it work with binutils-2.16 w/ --as-needed

and a patch for gcc-4.2

heh

[16:04:21]

mkrufky:

well mine is a 5200

[16:04:36]

Dibblah:

Okay. We're on pretty much the same hardware, then.

[16:04:41]

mkrufky:

but the card itself is not a problem, as it worked perfectly with the older version of mythfrontend

[16:04:50]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: what sort of content are you recording?

what is a Geode?

[16:05:57]

mkrufky:

(sorry)

[16:06:09]

Dibblah:

Ah. Okay. It's a low power AMD Athlon XP, effectively.

[16:06:14]

mkrufky:

oh

[16:06:22]

Dibblah:

What's the processor you're on?

[16:06:30]

mkrufky:

this is a Athlon XP 3200

[16:06:49]

Dibblah:

Isn't that marginal for SD anyway?

[16:06:51]

mkrufky:

3200+

[16:06:56]

Dibblah:

HD, even.

[16:07:31]

stuarta:

yeah, I only get about 10–15 fps on HD content on amd64 3200

[16:07:32]

mkrufky:

it was playing HD perfectly with the older processor

[16:07:43]

mkrufky:

the older processor was AMD Athlon XP 1800+

[16:07:47]

Dibblah:

There still is some point to my testing – There is basically no difference between .19 and current...

[16:08:06]

mkrufky:

but that old processer would choke if it had to deinterlace 1080i streams

[16:08:12]

Dibblah:

You must have been using XVMC?

[16:08:17]

mkrufky:

so I upgraded to 3200+ and it runs smooth ever since

[16:08:26]

mkrufky:

no, i was always using libmpeg2

[16:08:28]

Dibblah:

Wow.

[16:08:50]

stuarta:

also helps if it's mpeg2 HD, unlike our UK HD streams

[16:09:00]

Dibblah:

Never heard of anyone doing HD with less than a 2.4ish...

[16:09:07]

mkrufky:

i *am* tlaking about mpeg2 HD

[16:09:27]

Dibblah:

Yeah – Ours are h.264.

[16:09:29]

stuarta:

which lets you have the benefit of XvMC

[16:09:40]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: well, this athlonxp 3200 is comparable to an intel 2.0 GHz

[16:09:49]

mkrufky:

the 1800 is comparable to intel 1.0 GHz

[16:09:59]

mkrufky:

both worked fine, for HD @ 720p in mpeg2

[16:09:59]

Dibblah:

Yeah, I know.

[16:10:10]

mkrufky:

the 1800 chokes on 1080i

[16:10:21]

mkrufky:

3200 rocks no matter what (until yesterday)

[16:10:42]

mkrufky:

h.264 ..... that's mpeg4 ... surely would require more juice

[16:10:58]

Dibblah:

Lots more.

[16:11:08]

Dibblah:

But I don't have any HD channels...

[16:12:06]

mkrufky:

sucks :-(

[16:12:25]

stuarta:

i do, but completely different hardware.

[16:13:45]

mkrufky:

"i do" ... you do what?

[16:13:58]

stuarta:

have HD channels

[16:14:10]

mkrufky:

stuarta: are you telling me that I might get better performance by using XVMC instead of Standard or libmpeg2 ?

[16:14:26]

Dibblah:

Yes. Ish.

[16:14:34]

mkrufky:

given that i am viewing mpeg2 streams

[16:14:38]

stuarta:

sure XvMC can accelerate mpeg2 decoding.

You may get some reduced OSD functionality.

Dibblah:

What's your OSD theme?

[16:23:16]

bongalo:

I have a few questions regarding the definition of backend and frontend. From what I've read the backend with a good capture card does NOT need a good video card or a vid card at all if you are just using the server to record shows to be displayed or streamed on a different computer. Is that correct?

Dibblah:

Typ.

Yup, even.

[16:42:42]

the little preview of the recordings that shows in the navigation menu — as of yesterday's update, now the colors are badly inverted

[16:42:54]

Dibblah:

Aha!!!

[16:42:56]

mkrufky:

this has definately got to come from the mpeg decoder , right?

[16:43:05]

Dibblah:

Yes, it does.

[16:43:29]

mkrufky:

you say "aha" as if it is a related problem?

[16:43:37]

Dibblah:

It could mean that you have mmx disabled somehow.

[16:43:59]

mkrufky:

also, mythfrontend cpu usage is ~87% when showing a preview in the navigation menu ..... it never used to be this high

[16:44:08]

mkrufky:

mmx disabled?!? how could that have ahppeneD?

[16:44:34]

If it misdetects your CPU.

nandy_:

wow i cant for the life of me find a store that sells the PVR-350 are they that new?

[16:44:55]

....and then it could be related to the other problem

[16:45:02]

pvr350 are NOT new

nandy_:

everyone sells the 150

[16:45:40]

Dibblah:

It's always higher CPU – But if you've got MMX disabled, then it's even more expensive.

[16:45:41]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: yes, i figured that

[16:45:43]

nandy_:

no one sells the 350

[16:45:59]

mkrufky:

the pvr350 is the only card with tvout

[16:46:06]

mkrufky:

and i bought mine a few months ago

[16:46:16]

mkrufky:

(i dont use it with mythtv)

[16:46:34]

Kelerion:

and nowadays.. it's cheaper to get a 150 and a new graphics card.. a 6200 or something similar

[16:46:50]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: but if it is misdetecting the CPU, perhaps the main player is also having the same cpu misdetectiopn issue?

[16:46:52]

Kelerion:

that it is to get a 350 (if you can find one)

[16:47:00]

hjohnson:

grumble.. the store says they don't have the open box amd64 I ordered and they said they had in stock

[16:47:01]

and if so, how can i force it ? or find out more?

seth|laptop:

I have an interesting question. Before I upgraded my knoppmyth, my HDTV would playback in 5.1 all the time, meanwhile the show that recorded before it would commflag. Now even with commflag disabled, My HDTV will not play in 5.1, the audio doesn't play but a "blerp" for the first second, and then my a/v reciever blinks from digital to prologic over and over again, and I cannot hear anything. Any ideas?

[16:47:52]

Dibblah:

Ah. Wait. Are you using a package, or compiling yourself?

[16:47:56]

nandy_:

Kelerion: but it doesnt have the mp2 decoder right?

[16:48:02]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: i am using the ATrpms package

[16:49:01]

Kelerion:

nope.. so you get a new gfx card.. still works out cheaper than a 350 I think

[16:49:30]

nandy_:

350 is 129$

[16:49:31]

mkrufky:

pvr350 can decode mpeg2 in hardware .... not many graphics cards can do that in linux

[16:49:33]

nandy_:

on amazon

[16:49:38]

Dibblah:

mkrufky: In which case, you haven't run configure, so you can't have done anything wrong.

nandy_:

thats pretty cheap

[16:49:47]

mkrufky:

Dibblah: true ;-)

[16:49:50]

and how much is a 150?

[16:49:55]

nandy_:

99$

[16:50:02]

nandy_:

or 87

[16:50:04]

mkrufky:

350=worth it

[16:50:26]

mkrufky:

(for analog video or sdtv only)

[16:51:27]

Kelerion:

plus.. the 350 chips are not as good a capture as a 150 apparently

[16:51:45]

mkrufky:

Kelerion: very small difference

[16:51:47]

so one of each!

pvr350 can take the load of mpeg2 decoding off the cpu

[16:56:25]

Dibblah:

Personally, I'd go for one of the go7007 things :)

[16:56:45]

mkrufky:

but if you transcode to nuppelvideo, you lose all the pvr350's hardware acceleration, i think

[16:56:58]

ya those go7007's seem real nice

[16:57:06]

Only if you transcode to mpeg4.

hopefully we'll have that driver added for 2.6.20 (dont quote me on that)

The pvr350 is really old-tech, though, output wise. It's not really well supported.

for a while the 350 used to be the best TV output available.

[17:20:02]

** seth|laptop agrees, thats what I have **

[17:20:28]

kormoc:

nandy_, also, the nvidia card supports hardware opengl, which myth 0.20 can use in the frontend for pretty stuff, and the 350 doesn't, so it will be very slow in opengl mode

[17:20:39]

nandy_:

ok

[17:20:44]

nandy_:

so 150 + 6200 or higher?

[17:20:55]

nandy_:

with an an athalon xp 2800 or 3000

[17:20:59]

nandy_:

should be good performance?

[17:20:59]

Dibblah:

Also, no point in installing mythgame on the 350...

[17:21:10]

nandy_, that would work wonderful, and even support HDTV

cool

[17:21:48]

well I am having problems with HDTV/OTA, but its audio related, the 6200 card handles it just dandy

if you can, get the 6200 with the Component-Out video dongle, in hindsight, I wished I had done so

and my MCE remote only had about a 6ft range, so I traded up to an ATI remote wonder, and I made a serial port ir blaster

[17:25:29]

seth|laptop:

living room 24ft, remote 6ft = have to get up

[17:25:31]

kormoc:

seth|laptop, that's strange, my mce usb2 remote has around a 100 foot range, and bounces around a ton

[17:25:44]

seth|laptop:

my remote was version 1

[17:25:49]

seth|laptop:

it was an older rig

[17:25:51]

kormoc:

ahh, sad

[17:26:14]

seth|laptop:

but the ati I won on ebay for $2 US works from my office, I like RF

[17:26:40]

kormoc:

I had to stand in the parking lot and shoot the remote though a 2ed story window and it worked at around 90 feet and stoped at around 100 feet. I've been rather impressed with it

[17:26:44]

seth|laptop:

good for switching out tunes

[17:26:52]

seth|laptop:

WOW

[17:26:58]

[17:33:39]

lotia:

kormoc: and work around the conflict?

[17:33:50]

kormoc:

lotia, it's not changed, but they updated it to use the 'blah' form, so it doesn't count as a reserved word anymore

[17:33:52]

halcyon:

oh. Hmm, does it complain about missing dependancies (sounds like bttv is one?)

[17:33:52]

[17:38:00]

that is my favorite OSD

[17:38:21]

GreyFoxx:

I thought that was a menu theme only, I didn't know it was an OSD as well

[17:38:21]

that's got to be the right name, then

[17:38:31]

mkrufky:

ah, oops

i never changed the OSD theme

[17:38:45]

Paladine, apt-get the kernel headers as well

[17:58:47]

Paladine:

oh hang on I might have installed the headers andnot the source

[17:58:48]

Ribs:

Paladine, move the files it complains about being missing from the sources into the headers directory

[17:59:06]

Ribs:

and specify where your kernel is at the ./configure stage

[17:59:13]

Ribs:

tell it the location of the headers file

[17:59:40]

./configure never prompted mefor anything

2) why --with-driver=all

[18:02:18]

crayzee:

mkrufky, just an idea, have you ran glxinfo to check you still have "direct rendering"?

[18:02:24]

Paladine:

cos thats what the wiki says to do

[18:02:26]

Ribs:

Paladine, find out which driver you need

and just compile that one

with gentoo, you just emerge package, why would you compile one by hand?

depending on where you are in the source

you can patch -p0 -i /whatever/patch.patch

You will have to cd to the directory where lirc_mceusb2.c lives in the source, or specify it when patchtool asks.

imagine this:

a source tree might have some trailing whitespace..... user pulls that tree, generates a unified diff, sends it in

noday:

hey, i have a question about installing myth-0.20....do i delete the folders that have .19 in them?

[19:05:59]

Dagmar:

find / -name "*.19*" -exec rm -rf {} ; <-- do not type this, no matter what

[19:06:02]

xris:

noday: depends on which ones.

[19:06:40]

lotia:

is --enable-proc-opt a risky configure option?

[19:06:44]

Dagmar:

Nope

[19:06:48]

kormoc:

not usually

[19:06:50]

Dagmar:

Unless you're on a 486

[19:07:14]

noday:

well, when i first installed it, it seemed to install into folders (i think i untarred into my desktop first

[19:07:38]

noday:

this time i untarred from the terminal, and i did make and make install, but it doesnt seem to be opening myth-0.20

[19:07:51]

lotia:

also wondering why xvmc-opengl wasn't enabled, i didn't pass it the explicit disable flag? i have an nvidia card and am using a binary driver

[19:08:01]

kormoc:

noday, no ./configure?

[19:08:16]

kormoc:

lotia, cause you didn't pass it the explicit enable flag?

[19:09:22]

noday:

oh ya, i did that

[19:09:33]

noday:

i followed the directions in the mythtv wiki

[19:09:35]

Dagmar:

You know...

[19:09:38]

kormoc:

and the configure said?

[19:09:57]

Dagmar:

There's _some_ people who would consider it slightly important to actually read what comes up on the screen while ./configure is running.

[19:10:20]

Dagmar:

It tends to let you know little things like whether or not it's including support for your fuzzy sweater instead of the sound card.

[19:10:31]

noday:

im sorry, im a linux newb and just follow directoins

[19:10:34]

noday:

what should it have said?

[19:10:39]

lotia:

kormoc: i passed it the explicit enable and still isn't enabled.

[19:10:45]

Dagmar:

It probably said "No I'm not including what you want"

[19:10:48]

kormoc:

Dagmar, that's unheard of! Actually reading what the computer is attempting to tell you! That would destroy the internet as we know it!

[19:10:56]

kormoc:

lotia, and the configure said?

[19:11:14]

lotia:

kormoc: XvMC OpenGL sup. no

[19:11:18]

Dagmar:

kormoc: I can't wait until we get internets 2.0 around here. I hear the tubes will work in both directions

[19:11:27]

kormoc:

lotia, and the configure.log said?

[19:11:28]

noday:

oh that. i did read it, and it seemed to include support for everything i had (i got .19 running before)

[19:11:52]

Juski:

Dagmar: and don't forget those still on interweb 1.0 will be a lower class of person so they can safely be ignored

[19:11:55]

halcyon:

Dagmar, they're using tubes?!

[19:12:04]

halcyon:

not trucks?

[19:12:18]

Dagmar:

Yes, tubes! Dozens and dozens of them. Senator Ted Stevens told congress all abou tit

[19:12:39]

lotia:

kormoc: do you mean config.log?

and the fatter the tubes coming into your house, the faster & betterer everything will be :)

[19:13:00]

Dagmar:

Yech. Even I don't read THAT unless something crashed

[19:13:09]

noday:

so anyone have any ideas on how to get .20 to run instead of .19?

[19:13:18]

Dagmar:

Installing it?

[19:13:28]

noday:

make install? i did

[19:13:36]

Hoxzer_:

;EH

[19:13:37]

kormoc:

lotia, and normally it also says what failed if you check the part that looked for the XvMC opengl stuff

[19:13:45]

Dagmar:

So how many copies of it do you have installed now?

[19:14:01]

kormoc:

lotia, which then you can say, ooh, it's expecting X and so I'll setup the box to do X and then it's happy

[19:14:09]

noday:

well, 0.19 was there before, and i jsut installed .20

[19:14:11]

lotia:

kormoc: nothing else

[19:14:22]

Dagmar:

noday: So, reboot

[19:14:36]

kormoc:

lotia, well, go ahead and check what ./configure.sh is doing then

[19:14:43]

noday:

on snap.......i dont think i every rebooted.....wow im dumb

[19:14:52]

lotia:

kormoc: thanks

[19:15:04]

noday:

can i install all the plugins before i reboot? or should i reboot first?

[19:15:13]

Dagmar:

I used a slightly different chain of logic, but...

[19:15:30]

mkrufky:

does anybody in here use cx88-blackbird cards with mythtv?

[19:15:44]

mkrufky:

if so, are you using the v4l2 mpeg api, or are you using the cx88-ivtv emulation layer?

[19:15:47]

Dagmar:

You don't need to reboot, but you do need to stop the backend and the frontend and start them up again

[19:16:06]

Dagmar:

i would have thought "stop the old program" then "start the new program" would have been pretty obvious

[19:16:53]

noday:

well i had stopped the backend, but forgot to reboot

mkrufky: good question. I doubt anyone here is. I tried it once but never got audio capture to work

[19:17:09]

Dagmar:

You don't actually need to reboot

[19:17:21]

halcyon:

only need for a reboot is, like, a new linux kernel

[19:17:29]

mkrufky:

Juski: to fix audio on a blackbird card, it a 1-line patch to cx88-tvaudio.c .... which blackbird card did you use?

[19:17:34]

Dagmar:

..and there's ways around that, if you're a masochist

[19:17:41]

Dagmar:

kexec == not fun

[19:17:43]

kormoc:

kexec for the win!

[19:18:00]

Juski:

mkrufky: leadtek pvr2000... I _think_ that's a blackbird card

[19:18:15]

mkrufky:

yes, it is

[19:18:18]

** mkrufky checking the code **

[19:18:32]

Juski:

it defintely worked on the mpeg video encoder side anyway.. verified that by looking for lag ;-)

[19:18:44]

noday:

wait then....so maybe it didnt end up installing. because i DID stop the backend and restart, and it didnt update to the newer version

[19:19:45]

Juski: huh? i thought u said audio didnt work?

great... he uses it but he's gone before i can ask the question

[19:24:03]

mkrufky:

Juski: that's fine .... can you test sometime within the next week or two?

[19:24:07]

Juski:

mkrufky: he'll be back. you're one of the v4l devs aren't you?

[19:24:14]

mkrufky:

yes

[19:24:37]

mkrufky:

thing is, i see CX88_BOARD_LEADTEK_PVR2000 needs this patch

[19:24:45]

mkrufky:

i dont know what card stuarta has

[19:24:55]

mkrufky:

but i wont push the patch into mainline without testing first

[19:24:56]

Juski:

I'll try to get it tested for you as soon as I can. getting cx88_mpeg off the starting blocks will completely widen the field for mpeg capture in Linux

[19:25:12]

mkrufky:

heh

[19:25:12]

mkrufky:

ok

[19:25:27]

mkrufky:

which kernel do you run? or can i just give you a patch against v4l-dvb.hg tip?

[19:27:42]

mkrufky:

stuarta: which card is it?

[19:27:54]

stuarta:

kworld dvb-t

[19:28:02]

mkrufky:

then it is not cx88-blackbird

[19:28:08]

mkrufky:

thanks, snyway

[19:28:19]

stuarta:

well it loads the module...

[19:28:19]

mkrufky:

cx88-blackbird is analog mpeg encoder

[19:28:43]

mkrufky:

sure, it loads the module because the module autoloader sees a 8802 port (cx88 mpeg port)

[19:28:53]

mkrufky:

but that port is being used for DVB-T, via cx88-dvb module

[19:28:59]

mkrufky:

the reason why i ask:

[19:29:19]

mkrufky:

we have a cx88-ivtv emulation module that allows cx88-blackbird devices to be accessable under mythtv via ivtv ioctls

[19:29:20]

mkrufky:

but

[19:29:35]

mkrufky:

the ivtv API itself is being replaced by the new v4l2 mpeg encoding api

[19:29:44]

mkrufky:

which mythtv 0.20 supports, afaik

[19:29:57]

Juski:

mkrufky: are any of the plutohome guys available for comment?

[19:30:09]

mkrufky:

i just want to know if a blackbird card will work as an mpeg encoder in mythtv without the emulation layer

[19:30:22]

mkrufky:

Juski: the only one that ive ever met is Jelle

[19:30:29]

mkrufky:

and he is EXTREMELY hard to get in touch with

[19:30:57]

Juski:

mkrufky: ivtv 7.x is using the new v4l2 mpeg api yes? if so then AFAIK 0.20 should be ok with it

[19:31:06]

mkrufky:

Juski: for the test on your box, it will require that you install v4l-dvb from hg .... is that ok?

[19:31:16]

janneg:

no, 0.8 will support it

[19:31:21]

mkrufky:

Juski: no — only 0.8.X and later uses it

[19:31:22]

stuarta:

it's not used for the analog input that's present on the board?

[19:31:38]

Juski:

mkrufky: probably. might be a good chance to see how well my dvb tuner copes with newer modules too ;)

[19:31:42]

mkrufky:

stuarta: the only card that supports BOTH dvb and analog mpeg encoding is the hvr1300

[19:31:53]

mkrufky:

we are discussing upstream merge plans for that right now

[19:32:10]

stuarta:

i wouldn't be surprised if they are mutually exclusive on this card...

[19:32:12]

mkrufky:

stuarta: your card has DVB input, and raw video input... no mpeg encoder

[19:32:48]

mkrufky:

Juski: ok great! .... i'll push up a patch for testing and give you the url in a bit .... got to fix something here in the office first

[19:33:00]

Juski:

hokees

[19:33:33]

Juski:

I should be okay just building the modules on ubuntu shouldn't I? I mean I shouldn't necessarily have to build a whole kernel.. or will I ?

[19:34:31]

mkrufky:

not neccessary

[19:34:37]

mkrufky:

you will need the following packages:

[19:34:52]

Juski:

build-essential, and kernel headers & stuff...

[19:34:56]

mkrufky:

mercurial, build-essential, linux-headers-`uname -r`

[19:34:57]

mkrufky:

yup

[19:35:39]

lotia:

if i have enough cpu power non XvMC accelerated OpenGL should work fine right? and not using XvMC gets me colored menus and PinP?

[19:35:44]

I need to swap PSUs shortly anyway – I can swap the pvr2000 into the other box when I do that

well I've booked my train tickets so I can go to the expo next month... and erm.. ordering the case badgen soon.. theming can wait... screw it I'm gonna test this thing. reason being it doesn't flipping work in windows half the time & I can't wait to see linux kick windows' ass again

[20:07:46]

mkrufky:

so, i THINK that all blackbird cards need it cleared, but the original guy that set that bit for blackbird cards (catalin climov) isnt reponding to emails .... so as I encounter a user with this problem, I ask him to test a patch to clear the bit, if it works, i push it

is the experimental comercial detector any good? or should i stick with blank frame method?

[22:05:29]

briand:

true — the fade-in/fade-out thing takes a couple seconds... but it -does- work. (no, i'm still using the Qt painter, I just tried the OpenGL painter to see what would happen)

so mythtv writes nvu files? i'm a bit confused on that.. i would love to play the videos on my windows computer via a samba share. are the nvu files that mythtv makes just mpeg2s that could be played with something like VLC?

[22:06:05]

DrMitch:

they're .nuv files

[22:06:06]

mkrufky:

ShockValue: how much for the hd3000 ?

[22:06:08]

briand:

mkrufky: no doubt. because, despite never being able to watch anything on my system, I keep upgrading it and scheduling recordings. ;)

[22:06:08]

Anduin:

aboutblank: If you have a pvr150 the files are .mpg

[22:06:38]

Juski:

briand: and you're definitely using the pvr350's mpeg decoder?

[22:06:49]

aboutblank:

sorry... .nuv... can anyone with a pvr150 confirm anduin's statement that mythtv writes .mpgs?

[22:06:56]

briand:

aboutblank: and, if you install 0.20 and mythweb, you can stream the recordings to your windows box.

[22:07:03]

Anduin:

aboutblank: I can confirm it.

[22:07:07]

briand:

Juski: yep. Don't even have a monitor plugged into that box.

then what is this .nuv?

[22:07:36]

Kelerion:

framegrabbed recordings

[22:07:41]

Anduin:

aboutblank: for software encoders, or older myth

[22:07:45]

Juski:

nuppelvideo.. mythtv's own container format

[22:08:05]

mkrufky:

aboutblank: no confirmation necessary --- the device is a hardware mpeg encoder... it cannot write anything else

Juski: when I set the system up, using Jarod Wilson's how-to page, I built it with myth 0.18.1 using the PVR-350 output. Since then, I've installed 0.19 (last Feb) and now 0.20 from source, and never had any problem with TV-Out on the 350

[22:11:18]

briand:

..I am currently amassing parts for my rebuilt-MythTV box, and more than likely I won't be moving the 350 into that.. I'll just get a cheapie AGP FX5200 card instead. I'll keep the 350 to put into a machine for my sister or something... [shrug]

Anduin:

When the decoder API changes that is when the real breaking point will be visible.

sounds lucky to me... nearly everyone I've heard of using 350's output has had problems

Juski: true. and I'm not campaigning for it, either... but let's not bury it while it's still breathing.. the 350 is still a viable (though not necessarily desirable) option for those with underpowered hardware to run myth

i never understood the point of the 350's unless you wanted to use say a 486 for mythtv

[22:18:52]

in fact, they only had a 16-bit bus.

You can get a 386 with a PCI bus.

[22:19:38]

simcop2387:

i could have sworn a company made 386's that did pci, though it wasn't very good, and it wasn't made until after the 486's and pci started to catch on

386 is 32 bit.

get from the source, and i don't think mythbackend matters when doing that (i could be wrong)

So instead of it being just a DVR software with some addons, it would be software for consoles, too, and then people could add things to it, since it would be open source.

i dont see how MS plans on competing with google when their new search engine is slow as hell (OT)

[23:53:10]

simcop2387-vnc:

ShockValue: by putting google.com to point to msn.com in the windows vista hosts files :)

simcop2387-vnc:

XVampireX: i have less and less use for Xine as mythtv's internal player and mplayer get much better

[23:54:18]

ShockValue:

haha

[23:54:32]

XVampireX:

simcop2387-vnc: The anime that I watch lately uses .ssa subtitles so I kinda end up using xine as it supports it best

[23:55:10]

simcop2387-vnc:

mplayer works great for those, i never had a problem

Maybe I didn't compile it with .ssa support, I don't know what's the package for that is

[23:56:21]

simcop2387-vnc:

no clue

[23:56:43]

lotia:

folks can 0.20 split a single stream to two files. allowing you to use a single tuner for two programs on the same channel that have padding enabled

[23:57:02]

aboutblank:

is that a question?

[23:57:08]

Kazan:

hrm i think backend keeps crashing :/

[23:57:14]

TurboD (TurboD!n=chatzill@cpe-65-27-132-26.cinci.res.rr.com) has quit (Remote closed the connection)

[23:57:16]

lotia:

aboutblank: yes, sorry, very convoluted?

[23:57:21]

aboutblank:

Yep.

[23:57:35]

aboutblank:

but i don't think so..

[23:57:46]

aboutblank:

you need a tuner for each operation (watch tv, record, etc)

[23:57:52]

lotia:

aboutblank: i'll try and clarify

[23:58:09]

aboutblank:

i'm not sure what you mean by padding

[23:58:11]

simcop2387-vnc:

aboutblank: he wants mythtv to be able to have two recordings overlap on the same channel with one tuner

[23:58:13]

lotia:

say i record program-a and program-b on the same channel.

[23:58:17]

fhuzy:

Anyone use the serial cable from a replaytv for RCA DirecTV receiver w/Mythtv?

[23:58:20]

simcop2387-vnc:

aboutblank: start early, and end-late

[23:58:39]

lotia:

aboutblank: what simcop2387-vnc said

[23:58:43]

aboutblank:

if you know what he's talking about, can't you answer his question?

[23:59:07]

simcop2387-vnc:

aboutblank: because i don't know if 0.20 can either, i don't think it can, i know 0.19 can't and i don't think i recall seeing it in the changelist

[23:59:48]

GreyFoxx:

simcop2387-vnc: 0.20 wont do that either

[23:59:56]

aboutblank:

does hdtv tuner+standard NON-hdtv TV+mythtv work?

[23:59:57]

lotia:

GreyFoxx: thanks
