[00:00:46] bolty: it also seems to want kde for most plugins that i've tried
[00:01:03] kormoc: bolty, it needs the kde-dev package likely. You might need to pass in the directorys where it can find it
[00:01:21] kormoc: bolty, shouldn't... I have every plugin other then mythbrowser installed without kde on my mythbox
[00:01:34] bolty: kormoc, on osx?
[00:01:48] bolty: using the osx-packager?
[00:02:01] kormoc: bolty, no, on linux, but shouldn't change the fact that they're not hard dependancys

[01:00:52] Beirdo: the phototransistor is totally useless for LIRC, and I can either do a "transmit-only" solution and hope I can generate the right codes... or build the receiver too and actually record what the remote sends
[01:01:06] Beirdo: Oh, and for the record. I fuckin hate Liberty Cable
[01:01:35] Beirdo: we went to get a second box today... they will only let you have one if their buttcrack technicians bring it to your house
[01:01:37] xris: well, you *did* move to a non-country
[01:01:43] Beirdo: and you get to pay for that priviledge
[01:01:43] xris: wtf
[01:02:09] Beirdo: apparently too many people got second boxes and installed them in the neighbor's houses or some such shit
[01:02:22] Beirdo: so we are seriously considering telling them to fuck themselves and get Dish

[01:03:00] Beirdo: they'd still be our ISP, but that'd be it
[01:03:17] Beirdo: but that requires getting someone to install the dish and run cables for us, blah blah blah
[01:03:26] xris: can't use the same cables?
[01:03:37] Beirdo: doubt it
[01:03:45] Beirdo: as we'd still have the cable modem
[01:03:54] Beirdo: other than that, probably
[01:04:18] Beirdo: I'd have to get up on the roof and see how they split it for the three rooms, one of which will need a new run for sure
[01:04:23] xris: ah, yeah. I have separate wires for each jack. can selectively hook cable/dish to whatever I want.
[01:04:43] kslater: is there a way to force myth to record on a specific channel? I have 2 versions of a channel on one tuner – both digital – 1 in SD and another in HD
[01:05:42] Beirdo: well, our wires are run from up on the roof, I think
[01:05:52] kslater: since my HD playback isn't sorted out, I'd like to force it to the SD version for now
[01:05:59] Beirdo: and there are nice holes in the walls, etc for them to come in. BLECH
[01:06:08] Beirdo: gotta love concrete houses
[01:06:51] xris: kslater: change teh callsign.
[01:07:47] Beirdo: anyways, they made both me and the wife pretty mad today :)
[01:07:59] Beirdo: so... they will likely lose our business

[01:41:21] supertux: hi i'm monitoring the files that mythtv creates while im watching. I had 50 gigs of files and only 5 of that was on programs that i recorded
[01:42:15] kormoc: and the others were?
[01:43:30] supertux: just of stuff i was watching
[01:43:39] supertux: nothing i planned to record
[01:43:43] xris: supertux: livetv. yes, mythtv records/archives that stuff, too
[01:44:03] opello: is there some super secret way to clean that off too?
[01:45:03] xris: opello: it just goes away on its own
[01:45:19] opello: if what criteria are met?
[01:45:26] xris: when mythtv needs disk space
[01:45:45] xris: it keeps livetv recordings around so you can go back later and re-watch stuff, etc.
[01:45:56] supertux: xris: ok i was wondering because i had about 2 gigs free
[01:45:59] opello: hrm, i never see them listed :/
[01:46:37] supertux: that doesn't make sense it should be listed or it does no good
[01:46:39] xris: opello: you probably have mythtv set to hide them
[01:46:54] xris: look in mythweb. it shows them all by default, under the LiveTV recgroup.
[01:46:59] opello: probably something i did without knowing during setup
[01:47:57] opello: all i can choose in 'show recordings' is show titles
[01:48:17] opello: no specific group selector
[01:52:11] defend: hmm is there a way to boast or clear up digi/hd cable?
[01:52:29] GreyFoxx: $opell: It will also auto delete after 24 hours has passed
[01:52:31] defend: i wasnt able to get anything with my hd cable till i took off my splitter

[02:00:14] CCFL_Man: anyone here think mythtv frontend can run on a 400mhz intel pxe?
[02:00:33] Scopeuk: Hoondie do you use xml tv?
[02:00:41] Scopeuk: CCFL_Man sd i should think so
[02:00:51] Hoondie: Skopeuk: using tv_grab_au
[02:01:00] Scopeuk: i have a combined fe/be runnign on a 433 celeron wit ha frage grabber althgouh performance sucks ass obviously
[02:01:40] Hoondie: Skopeuk: looks as if it grabs all the channels, but it's not appearing in the EPG
[02:01:49] Scopeuk: Hoondie xmltv might be failing when it tries to do mythfilldatabasse happens to mie all the time
[02:01:54] CCFL_Man: Scopeuk: it's a linksys wma11b, think decoding standard definition mpeg2 will be much of an issue?
[02:01:59] Scopeuk: ive had to fix it wit han xml v patch
[02:02:37] Hoondie: is there any log anywhere i can use to find out if it is failing?
[02:03:08] Scopeuk: you got myth web?
[02:03:14] Hoondie: yep
[02:03:25] Scopeuk: go tothe backend status page
[02:04:30] Hoondie: it's saying that mythfilldatabase ran but did not insert any new data into the guide
[02:05:00] supertux: shouldn't it ask me for a username and password?

[02:07:56] tcpsyn: are you using the svideo input?
[02:08:25] adante_ is now known as adante
[02:09:23] tcpsyn: is this a dedicated mythbox that you don't use for anything else?
[02:09:37] Scopeuk: CCFL_Man that box has nowhere near enough ram for a myth frontend
[02:09:48] Leebier: wait
[02:09:51] Leebier: i'm an idiot
[02:09:57] tcpsyn: mute?
[02:09:58] tcpsyn: heh
[02:10:09] Leebier: not quite that bad
[02:10:23] Leebier: but i forgot about the use PVR-350 output checkbox in the setup panels
[02:10:27] tcpsyn: ah.
[02:10:36] Leebier: was in such a hurry to get everything done last night that i didn't go through all that stuff yet
[02:10:59] Leebier: well, i feel smart having searched gossamer for the last 30 minutes

[02:11:39] Beirdo: anyone know how long (in time) the IR burst of a remote control is?
[02:11:41] Scopeuk: CCFL_Man you could probably get it to play back the mpeg 2 streams
[02:11:54] xris: Beirdo: point it at a digicam and watch?
[02:11:56] kormoc: Beirdo, depends on the remote I thought?
[02:12:03] Hoondie: Scopeuk: running mythfilldatabase now, can you tell me if this is normal. http://pastebin.com/854728 ?
[02:12:07] Leebier: beirdo, i know w/ my STB remote, .4 seconds seems to be long enough of a pause between hitting numbers
[02:12:16] Leebier: and my STB blows seriously
[02:13:11] Scopeuk: Hoondie thats an irc log
[02:13:32] Beirdo: well, I'm considering what capacitance I will need in this IR transmitter circuit
[02:13:44] Leebier: oh
[02:13:50] Leebier: that's what irblaster.info is for :)
[02:13:56] Leebier: was $15 well spent
[02:14:00] Hoondie: sorry.. http://pastebin.com/854782
[02:14:06] Leebier: and that's cheap in £ these days :)
[02:14:06] Beirdo: as it will be "fueling" the IR LED
[02:14:44] Beirdo: I have 470uF, but I think it will be not enough, as it will hit 1.7V in 15.51ms
[02:14:55] supertux: is there a way that we can do something to compress TV recordings. turn them into divx or something?
[02:14:58] Beirdo: (discharging through 33 ohms)
[02:15:20] supertux: or is quality an issue when you try to do that?
[02:15:21] Leebier: supertux- the name of what you're looking for is "transcoding"
[02:15:22] BULLE: supertux: yes, you can either record in that format directly ( if your card give raw access )
[02:15:34] BULLE: supertux: or you can just re-encode it into divx, after recording it
[02:15:36] Leebier: i haven't done much, so i'm not much help, but there's tons of ppl around and docs on teh web for it
[02:15:45] BULLE: supertux: transcode is the term for it, used in mythtv
[02:15:46] Scopeuk: Hoondie and again
[02:15:59] BULLE: supertux: what tv card do you have ?
[02:16:01] supertux: BULLE: can that be setup to happen automagically?
[02:16:14] supertux: hauppauge pvr 150
[02:16:22] BULLE: okies, so the pvr will record to mpeg2 then
[02:16:29] Scopeuk: yes
[02:16:33] BULLE: so you will have to transcode it
[02:16:40] BULLE: dunno if you can add a default transcode
[02:16:42] Beirdo: remembering my electrical engineering basic skills after 10 years is fun
[02:17:43] supertux: BULLE: that would be pretty neat if you could set it to transcode files while the tv is not in use
[02:18:44] supertux: i would imagine doing that would have a negative impact on the quality of the TV picture it it were working during playback
[02:18:53] supertux: if it*
[02:18:54] Hoondie: pastebin is being so slow!
[02:19:04] tcpsyn: rafb.net
[02:19:07] Hoondie: http://pastebin.com/854782 << That one works
[02:19:09] CCFL_Man: Scopeuk: the thing here is that it's a nice platform, the wma11b, and i think it can run mythtv frontend
[02:19:12] Beirdo: or pastebin.ca
[02:19:13] Beirdo: heh
[02:19:22] Beirdo: pastebin.com is often a dog
[02:19:24] Scopeuk: Hoondie thats the same address again
[02:19:46] Hoondie: It's whats in my browser
[02:19:56] Scopeuk: doesent work here

[02:24:06] xris: supertux: you could always just change the bitrate settings for your mpeg2 files so they're smaller to start with.
[02:24:25] Scopeuk: Hoondie thats not normal in my experiece
[02:24:31] Scopeuk: maby check if theres a newer version of the grabber
[02:24:39] supertux: xris: the quality of the video would be worse?
[02:24:45] Hoondie: yea, looking now.. it's all over the place
[02:25:01] Hoondie: do i have to link channels to channels within the EPG?
[02:25:06] Hoondie: or is that done automatically?
[02:25:19] xris: supertux: not much worse than transcoding to myth's mpeg4.
[02:25:35] xris: supertux: but that's up to you to determins.
[02:25:37] xris: determine.
[02:26:00] xris: personally, anything I want archived log-term I just use nuvexport to save h.264 or xvid avi.
[02:26:12] xris: and then access with mythvideo
[02:26:25] supertux: hmm
[02:27:39] supertux: what is nuvexport?
[02:27:57] xris: myth's mpeg4 encoder results in files that only myth can effectively play, and it's tuned for realtime encoding so the quality isn't as good as other mpeg4 encoder options.
[02:28:04] xris: supertux: google and the mythtv wiki can answer that.
[02:28:13] supertux: thanks

[02:33:57] dilano: the excat command I used
[02:34:01] dilano: *exact
[02:34:02] Leebier: ah
[02:34:15] xris: Leebier: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mythweb
[02:34:26] xris: click on the files, and then use the download link at the bottom of the page
[02:34:36] xris: dilano: and did you boot into that kernel?
[02:34:41] Leebier: ahhh, there we go
[02:34:42] dilano: and yes, I'm using the newest kernel
[02:34:43] Leebier: awesome, thanks :)
[02:35:10] dilano: did the upgrade before I installed the atrpms, so it automaically boots to the newest
[02:35:14] xris: Leebier: I actually spent some time writing documentation for .21  :) but basically, I just combined the need for custom apache settings with the .htaccess file.
[02:35:26] xris: dilano: just have to check...
[02:35:33] dilano: no prob
[02:35:35] xris: dilano: so what about it isn't working, then? errors?
[02:35:39] dilano: thx for trying to at least help
[02:35:46] Leebier: the old docs were fine, they just seem to be a bit out of date :)
[02:36:06] xris: Leebier: they were basically up to date. these are just better.
[02:36:30] dilano: well, when i type the command /sbin/service lircd start nothing comes up to notify me its actually starting
[02:36:53] dilano: then when I type /usr/bin/irw, I get folder not found.. or something close to that error
[02:37:06] dilano: one sec and I'll check for exact error
[02:37:49] dilano: "no such file or drictory"
[02:38:43] dilano: mode2 does nothing...., and irrecord goes thorugh the intial dialog, then when ir gets to the keypress section, it times out
[02:39:14] dilano: last time I checked on a windows machine, the ir reciever worked perfectly
[02:39:21] Leebier: xris- is there a reason not to dump the newer install info into the wiki?
[02:39:25] dilano: actually used to for a old old VDR install
[02:40:07] xris: Leebier: no reason.
[02:40:21] dilano: would I be wrong to assume that EVEN if the ir reciever was somehow broken, irw shoudl still run, correct?
[02:40:25] Leebier: might result in fewer questions in here, no?
[02:40:45] dilano: just not record any data
[02:40:49] dilano: no?
[02:42:22] alsoconfused: dilano: is lircd running?
[02:42:43] xris: anyway, headed home...
[02:43:56] dilano: alsoconfused: what woudl the command be to check please?
[02:44:21] alsoconfused: ps wax|grep lircd
[02:44:26] esquid2: pgrep lircd?

[03:12:47] esquid2: leebier: you mess with your apache config?

[03:13:01] Leebier: yeah, mythweb.php not found

[03:14:00] kormoc: well, only if you want to wipe what's on your drive now too
[03:14:03] Leebier: so i'm not sure what i'm missing
[03:14:15] kormoc: Leebier, and you go to your ip/mythweb/?
[03:14:19] Leebier: yep
[03:14:21] esquid2: leebier: can you get to other stuff in /mythweb/ ?
[03:14:24] kormoc: and what's apache's error log say?
[03:14:44] Leebier: don't ever mess with apache, where does it keep its log?
[03:15:16] AdamKili: kormoc: i mean clear them out so myth won't rocord them again; so that the entry to reord/not record isn't in the system anymore
[03:15:41] Leebier: esquid- i haven't tried elsewhere in the mythweb directory, but i can get to /myip/manual so the apache server is running
[03:15:58] Leebier: but it isn't finding recordings.php either
[03:16:52] Leebier: oh, wait, i think i may be clinically stupid
[03:17:01] kormoc: AdamKili, uhh, you mean scheduled recordings?

[03:31:55] alsoconfused: Leebier: did you read/follow the install docs regarding .htaccess ?

[03:38:10] Leebier: script '/var/www/html/mythweb.php' not found or unable to stat
[03:38:30] kormoc: did you set the rewrite base correctly?
[03:39:00] xris: Leebier: and does the file exist there?
[03:39:04] Leebier: yep

[03:39:07] Leebier: xris- yes
[03:39:16] Leebier: sorry, the yes was inexact :)
[03:39:59] Leebier: the RewriteBase is set to /mythweb, which i'm pretty sure is right
[03:40:41] xris: Leebier: why would you think that if your files are at /var/www?
[03:41:07] xris: not myip/mythweb/
[03:41:22] Leebier: because i'm thinking of relative directories :)
[03:41:35] xris: mythweb.php != mythweb/
[03:42:58] Leebier: so i'm confused, even if i change it to /var/www/html/mythweb/, i still get the same problem, or am i fundamentally misunderstanding the line?
[03:43:10] xris: where is mythweb.php?
[03:43:30] Leebier: /var/www/html/mythweb/mythweb.php
[03:43:38] xris: read your apache error again
[03:43:59] xris: then read the instructions for the <Directory> tag
[03:44:05] Leebier: gah

[03:45:06] Leebier: <Directory "/var/www/html/mythweb/" >
[03:45:09] Leebier: is the current setting
[03:45:37] xris: and the error says?
[03:45:45] esquid2: i think "/" at the end of the path is not supposed to be there
[03:46:37] Leebier: xris- the error is without the mythweb/, but there shouldn't be ANYTHING telling it to look w/o the mythweb/
[03:47:01] esquid2: however if you just put mythweb in /var/www/html you shouldn't have to add a new <Directory> to your httpd.conf
[03:47:05] xris: Leebier: what happens when you try to access mythweb now? (after apache restart)
[03:47:24] xris: esquid2: yes, you do, or the redirect is all messed up

[04:37:45] sandeen: hehe yeah I should have noticed that too, but saw mtd.log owned by root so figured it was running as root
[04:39:30] tankerjoe20: ok... 6 days, ~$800, 7 hrs sleep, and 1 angry wife later I have a mostly working mythtv system hooray for me.

[04:40:54] tankerjoe20: AdamKili: that is the hope :-)
[04:41:45] AdamKili: kormoc: i thought not. just wanted to double check. is it easy to add that section in? or maybe i shouldn't try since i'm kind of new to linux
[04:42:05] kormoc: if you're good at c++ and qt coding, might not be too hard
[04:42:17] Inssomniak: ok fluxbox works perfectly
[04:42:36] Inssomniak: but dont try to play an mp3 with mplayer, you lose control anyways
[04:42:43] AdamKili: umm...i've heard of c++ but no idea what qt is so i'll just use the menu layout that has it already. thank you

[04:46:35] kslater: ok. during playback you can playback at a fractional speed over 1x
[04:46:55] Hoondie: ah i got ya
[04:47:20] kslater: I always figured it was doing the same thing but during the recording
[04:47:20] Hoondie: so you can make a recording play like the chipmonks?
[04:47:27] Inssomniak: is it normal behaviour that when you are in the EPG you cant type in a channel number and have the EPG move to it?

[04:50:11] Hoondie: does it ever chop out the actual show itself?
[04:50:15] kslater: or how ever you spell that word
[04:50:29] kslater: oh sure, but there's a key on the remote to just jump back
[04:50:42] Hoondie: i'll be using the XBMC frontend
[04:50:59] kslater: it just marks the commercials and uses that to skip over them
[04:51:03] Hoondie: ah ok

[06:25:28] alsoconfused: defaultro: it seems to work pretty well, although mplayer had problems playing one of the .isos i made with it
[06:25:54] _LM_: Hi, a quick question: Which backend decides on when to start a scheduled recording on a remote backend? The master or the one with card?
[06:26:06] kormoc: _LM_, the master

[06:27:13] kormoc: well, it likely is

[06:27:29] kormoc: but the remote backend decides on when it is time

[06:28:28] kormoc: defaultro, nope, it's used to convert recordings to dvds

[06:28:48] defaultro: wrong question, hehehee

[08:14:25] juski: I need to design an IDE caddy tester. I think something that detects a break in a circuit with a latching alarm will do the job

[08:27:48] psm321: are there any problems i should anticipate with running a fresh install of mythtv (and the whole system) with a copy of an old database?
[08:28:02] ivor: psm321: not really
[08:28:13] psm321: ok
[08:28:14] psm321: thanks

[08:28:53] ivor: hads: it's a terrible realtime os.

[08:29:17] lowone: ohhh so hotness flicker gone!! (changed default to 720x480.. was last bug i kept searching for on the pvr500)
[08:29:27] kormoc: psm321, you'd want to run mysql repair on them before starting up the database to make sure they're happy
[08:29:47] psm321: ok
[08:30:03] ivor: hads: if multiple events happen at the same time... it has a habit of locking up solid!

[08:30:36] Mode for #mythtv-users by ChanServ!ChanServ@services. : +v juski
[08:30:50] kormoc: psm321, well, that actually depends on the database format, myisam you'll want to use myisamcheck -r, innodb, I don't think there are any external repair tools for the job
[08:31:02] juski: saving my settings. ffs. no hdd activity so other than reporting every keypress to microsoft what the hell is it doing?
[08:31:04] psm321: should i stick with mysql 4 for now (what i had before) to avoid problems? (since i read that even just upgrading to 5 was tricky i dont know if it would by happy with mysql4 files)
[08:31:35] kormoc: psm321, yeah, stick with the exact same version of 4 till you're sure the db transfered over correctly
[08:31:44] psm321: k
[08:31:44] kormoc: then you can backup and then upgrade if you want
[08:32:16] ivor: juski: lots of sleeps... the os assumes that it has fucked up if files/handles aren't closed at shutdown
[08:32:35] juski: lol
[08:32:36] psm321: is there any way to figure out the database format? (its probably the default, i dont remember changing anything)
[08:32:38] ivor: so it goes into a loop repeatedly killing processes and sleeping
[08:32:45] ivor: just in case
[08:32:52] juski: so vista is basically a UI overhaul & they've taken out the sleeps
[08:33:03] kormoc: psm321, just count on it being myisam, it'll throw a error and no do anything if it's not myisam

[08:34:57] juski: was gonna bring my s100 in to work today to play with but it's getting near show-time here again & it'd be a bit conspicuous
[08:35:08] ivor: how to map keys to scroll back in irssi.
[08:35:28] juski: I have one of them old fashioned mobiles that makes phonecalls
[08:35:33] juski: ;)
[08:35:36] ivor: no way to put a work related spin on it?
[08:36:03] juski: ivor: learning how to make a build environment & spinning my own distro? hmmm
[08:36:35] ivor: ooh I reckon you could merge those two.
[08:36:54] ivor: call it research
[08:36:58] juski: actually I'm gonna take zenslack to bits & use it as a base to build mythtv on
[08:38:29] juski: so it'll end up being zenslack but without the dodgy stuff inside :)
[08:38:39] juski: and it'll have a recent version of -fixes
[08:38:58] ivor: this a full featured distro? or a 'mini' frontend dist?
[08:40:26] juski: only mythfrontend & some plugins
[08:40:40] juski: mostly for personal consumption
[08:41:27] CCFL_Man: myth tv using a framebuffer, and advantage of it using a video driver?
[08:41:39] juski: normally I'd just have used zenslack with the mythtv 'plugin' but it's got dodgy software in it. And it's not redistributable like that
[08:42:34] juski: mythtv doesn't use a framebuffer.. last time I looked it needed X. AFAIK it used to work with a framebuffer but that got broke a while ago
[08:42:49] CCFL_Man: myth frontend anyway
[08:43:00] CCFL_Man: ahh

[08:44:08] CCFL_Man: juski: well, i want to try to run it on an intel pxa system
[08:44:30] juski: pxa?
[08:44:50] CCFL_Man: embedded arm cpu
[08:44:57] juski: how fast is it?
[08:45:04] CCFL_Man: 400mhz
[08:45:10] kormoc: 200 to 400 mhz is platform specs
[08:45:15] juski: jeses
[08:45:24] juski: good luck with that. oh it's not just luck you'
[08:45:27] juski: need
[08:45:35] kormoc: 16 bit memory addressing iirc
[08:45:39] CCFL_Man: lol
[08:45:59] CCFL_Man: kormoc: i want to use the linksys wma11b
[08:46:16] kormoc: CCFL_Man, how much ram do you have on the thing?
[08:46:18] juski: geexbox might be much more suitable
[08:46:43] juski: actually I was gonna try geexbox's upnp & see if it talks to mythtv properly :)
[08:46:49] CCFL_Man: kormoc: 16mb
[08:46:49] kormoc: I was certian that the PXA only could address 32 megs or so of ram
[08:46:54] ** kormoc laughs **
[08:47:11] juski: in which case geexbox would be more suitable but I think 32MB is pushing it too far
[08:47:26] kormoc: CCFL_Man, my frontend with a light theme is using around 208 megs of ram
[08:47:47] CCFL_Man: well, xbox is loud, fan and hard drive
[08:47:53] juski: and FUGLY
[08:47:55] CCFL_Man: sucks
[08:48:03] kormoc: CCFL_Man, yet alone the 80 megs of disk space to just hold myth and it's themes
[08:48:12] juski: and the xbox only has 32MB of usable RAM
[08:48:30] juski: hrm XBMC has UpNP too i think
[08:48:36] kormoc: juski, gotta remember, that 16 megs of ram that device has is also all it can store locally, no hard drive
[08:48:38] CCFL_Man: kormoc: i'm going to use nfs boot or something
[08:48:53] Bogus8: is there any xbox frontends that work with .20 backend?
[08:48:55] juski: CCFL_Man: look into geexbox & forget about mythfrontend on it
[08:49:00] juski: Bogus8: XBMCmythtv
[08:49:01] kormoc: CCFL_Man, still gonna be too little and too slow in my opinion
[08:49:10] CCFL_Man: yeah, i forget how big it's ram drive is
[08:49:26] Bogus8: juski: cool, last time I looked I was running .18 and nothing would connect to anything past .17
[08:49:35] CCFL_Man: kormoc: you could be right
[08:49:37] kormoc: CCFL_Man, with the 16 bit memory addressing at 400 mhz, you're looking at much more costly mpeg-2 decoding then a more modern processor
[08:49:51] CCFL_Man: kormoc: yeah
[08:50:13] CCFL_Man: i never realized it used 16 bit addressing
[08:50:31] CCFL_Man: it'll choke on mpeg2
[08:51:04] juski: CCFL_Man: maybe if a networked media player which uses linux comes along...
[08:51:05] CCFL_Man: hopefully it has a set of pads to upgrade the ram
[08:51:33] juski: CCFL_Man: its memory logic might not even support more ram
[08:51:35] kormoc: "Max addressable memory: 32M"
[08:51:41] juski: see
[08:51:44] CCFL_Man: juski: there are many out there, some use windows ce
[08:52:19] CCFL_Man: max is 32mb, so maybe there will be bads
[08:52:37] CCFL_Man: pads
[08:53:08] juski: CCFL_Man: might be easy to undo that :)
[08:53:08] juski: my s100 came with windows CE
[08:53:08] juski: actually it's quite a spiffy platform
[08:53:08] juski: but then so is the MSNTV2
[08:53:09] juski: CCFL_Man: you've really not done much research have you? ;)
[08:53:11] juski: there are much more suitable platforms already out there man
[08:53:58] CCFL_Man: the linksys media center extender uses an ati xilleon SoC with windows embedded
[08:54:13] CCFL_Man: msntv2 is a great platform too
[08:54:18] juski: CCFL_Man: prolly only plays wmv though
[08:54:29] CCFL_Man: kormoc: seems decent
[08:54:45] juski: think of the kudos of hacking a MCE extender though ;)
[08:55:16] kormoc: CCFL_Man, at 60 htz, that gives you a max res of 1280x1024 for just pure move across the processor
[08:55:16] CCFL_Man: juski: it can play anything, you replace the stock windows embedded with linux
[08:55:31] kormoc: CCFL_Man, but that is zero decoding / scaling
[08:55:36] CCFL_Man: kormoc: tv out only :p
[08:55:59] kormoc: you *might* be able to squeeze out something, but I doubt the full 60 htz... maybe 30 htz at sd res
[08:56:25] kormoc: assuming you have a fully arm accelerated decoder lib to use

[11:25:55] juski: that if the boot device you've set it to boot from moves or vanishes... it resets to some weird defaults
[11:26:05] rsdvd: ok
[11:26:10] juski: see my updated site ;)
[11:26:32] juski: FYI I now have zenslack & the 0.20 mythtv 'plugin'
[11:26:43] juski: gonna rejig it a bit to remove the dodgy shite out of it
[11:26:45] mtnbkr (mtnbkr!i=mtnbkr@gateway/gpg-tor/key-0x63A94EDC) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[11:26:48] frink_: Hey juski
[11:26:55] juski: hey frink_
[11:27:04] frink_: Did 0.21 come out?
[11:27:12] rsdvd: pardon the ignorance – what is zenslack?
[11:27:47] juski: frink_: check the channel topic
[11:27:48] juski: ffs
[11:28:16] juski: rsdvd: zenslack is a mini distro based on slack which works on the s100 :)
[11:28:19] kazer_ (kazer_!n=kazer@4.204.98-84.rev.gaoland.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[11:28:35] frink_: I am sure somebody yesterday mentioned 0.21 – Oh well, I was prob imagining it..
[11:28:45] stuarta: yep
[11:29:09] rsdvd: cool......when I get up inthe loft (where my office is) I will get to work on the VGA header. Then I can start playing :-)
[11:29:10] juski: frink_: wait for mythtv.org to vanish under the load of slashdot & digg traffic. then you'll know
[11:29:28] stuarta: afaik, it's not even close atm
[11:29:29] juski: "awesome"
[11:29:33] juski: "awesome"
[11:29:36] juski: "yeah, awesome"
[11:29:41] rsdvd: did you permanently fix the VGA header? or just have it hanging out the case while you loaded the OS?
[11:29:50] juski: rsdvd: made it permanent
[11:29:59] juski: see the photo ;)
[11:31:01] rsdvd: I did ot see any photos with a VGA on them
[11:31:30] juski: haha
[11:31:32] juski: oops
[11:31:41] rsdvd: :-)
[11:31:48] juski: could've sworn I had one
[11:31:59] Blaksmith: where the fuck is the 80 usage being taken up?
[11:32:24] stuarta: du -k ?

[11:34:15] juski: had to do that to add the pci socket & the 2nd IDE port
[11:34:22] rsdvd: lol......I wish I haad one......might go out and buy one – but it makes this expensive
[11:34:35] Beirdo: so I got all the parts for my IR transmitter yesterday... but need more parts to do the receiver side
[11:40:56] juski: rsdvd – you don't need a dremel – just a drill & some needle files
[11:40:57] Blaksmith: haha
[11:40:58] frink_: wow high load avg...
[11:41:01] Beirdo: nautilus is 95M into swap
[11:41:11] ** Beirdo bitch-slaps gnome **
[11:41:22] Blaksmith: that's a medium load.. by the end of the record, I'm friggin sky high..
[11:41:36] Beirdo: you must have a software encoder :)
[11:41:41] Blaksmith: 2.6g celly (yes, I know, a shitty cpu)
[11:42:07] Blaksmith: I have hardware encoder turned on with my Haup 150
[11:42:08] Beirdo: and evince is 127M into swap?!
[11:42:10] Beirdo: damn
[11:42:24] stuarta: i've seen worse load averages (like 1000)
[11:42:32] Beirdo: how do you get such high load avg from that? must be a busy machine otherwise
[11:43:10] qu0zl: Blaksmith, something is broken then unless you' also use your pvr as a desktop or some such?
[11:43:12] Beirdo: could barely notice. Gotta love Sun hardware running Solaris
[11:43:14] stuarta: this was a mail server too :)
[11:43:26] Blaksmith: yes, my pvr is my desktop
[11:43:32] rsdvd: juski : I could probably do it with needle files – but it would never be neat
[11:43:43] Beirdo: qu0zl, is it you that has an IR circuit somewhere on the web?
[11:43:43] stuarta: shitting ide based hardware doing server work. pah!
[11:43:47] Blaksmith: I need to upgrade my desktop *nix box
[11:43:49] qu0zl: nope Beirdo
[11:43:54] Beirdo: heh, OK
[11:44:00] qu0zl: there's another quozl though, an australian one
[11:44:02] Blaksmith: and retire this one to be just the FS and Myth
[11:44:08] juski: rsdvd: doesn't matter – it's at the back, and the bezel of the connector covers many sins
[11:44:09] Beirdo: that musta been the one :)
[11:44:16] rsdvd: lol
[11:44:49] Beirdo: so hopefully will do another radio shack trip later today
[11:45:04] ** Blaksmith cringes at rat shack **
[11:45:09] Beirdo: my brother-in-law might be coming over for home-made cheesecake... wheels...
[11:45:37] Beirdo: yeah, well... in Puerto Rico, I have yet to find a component shop, so Rat Shack will have to do for now
[11:45:50] Blaksmith: ahhh ok.. understandable then
[11:46:02] Blaksmith: didn't realize you were in PR
[11:46:13] Beirdo: bloated prices, but such is life when you want instant gratification
[11:46:19] Blaksmith: that's probably the best place you can go there
[11:46:35] Beirdo: I shoulda just ordered from Digikey
[11:46:58] ** Blaksmith is still proud of his home-made IR Blaster :) **
[11:47:09] Beirdo: :)
[11:47:13] tcpsyn_: I might try to make a reciever
[11:47:15] rsdvd: juski : did you ever manage to find a way to increase the memory in these boxes?
[11:47:17] Beirdo: mine will be custom
[11:47:28] juski: rsdvd: no need to
[11:47:33] juski: 128MB is enough
[11:47:38] Blaksmith: 2 diodes. :) 4148 for protection, 30' cable, IR diode, and a female 9 pin connector
[11:47:46] Beirdo: it's a blending of the one from iguanasoft and a receiver from elsewhere
[11:47:48] Blaksmith: works my PanSat 3500 box like a charm :)
[11:48:09] kazer_ (kazer_!n=kazer@4.204.98-84.rev.gaoland.net) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[11:48:12] Beirdo: total of 4 transistors, 4 diodes, 4 capacitors, etc
[11:48:13] rsdvd: I was reading your posts on the mini-myth site where you thought you might have to to get the plugings to work
[11:48:28] Beirdo: plus the IR diode and an IR receiver module, 7805...
[11:48:52] Blaksmith: I probably could have made an amp and had a 5' cord, but hell, if it works at 30' dangling in front of the stb, I'm happy
[11:48:57] Beirdo: but circuitry isn't hard for me, I took electrical engineering... graduated... 10 years ago. Holy hell
[11:49:15] Blaksmith: hehe 15 here!
[11:49:28] ** Blaksmith turns the big 4 0 next year.. UGH **
[11:49:30] stuarta: 12 for me
[11:49:33] Beirdo: heh :)
[11:49:45] Beirdo: most of the designs out there are NOT idiot-proof
[11:49:45] stuarta: welcome to the old farts collective
[11:49:53] Blaksmith: haha
[11:50:09] Blaksmith: and drunk at 3:50am.. and need to get up in the morning
[11:50:11] Beirdo: like some with 7805 with no diode before them, so the -10V would have been applied to the input
[11:50:12] juski: rsdvd: eh?
[11:50:22] Beirdo: 7805s HATE that. ka-BLAM
[11:50:24] Blaksmith: 90% of the time I can work at home, but tomorrow, I gotta go into the shop :(
[11:50:54] ** stuarta aspires to working from home **
[11:51:03] Blaksmith: <-- firmware programer by trade
[11:51:12] Beirdo: as the RTS line *can* be -5 to -15V, putting a diode in there to limit it to only +5 to +15V is smart
[11:51:14] juski: rename c:flsh.cof c:inflsh.cof
[11:51:20] Beirdo: I used to do that too, Blaksmith
[11:51:21] juski: bum
[11:51:23] stuarta: nice quiet dark corner for you then
[11:51:37] Beirdo: then got laid off a few too many times, switched to system admin
[11:51:49] Blaksmith: current project... DC Gen Controller to replace the Murphy controller
[11:51:56] Beirdo: then moved to a foreign country (PR – AKA USA)
[11:51:57] Beirdo: heh
[11:51:59] Blaksmith: 90% done.. we are in the testing stages now
[11:52:06] Beirdo: so I'm unemployed completely right now
[11:52:24] Blaksmith: ouch.. that sux Beirdo
[11:52:33] Beirdo: nah, it's life
[11:52:52] Beirdo: waiting for the work permit (got married down here), then I should be workin again soon
[11:53:01] Blaksmith: I still need to re-do the menu commands, but the innards of the controller are working like they should
[11:53:10] Beirdo: that's cool
[11:53:29] Blaksmith: damn, can't work till the work permit comes through? how long does that take?
[11:53:42] Beirdo: I did an ADSL DSLAM line card, a 16-E1 card, etc in the past. all the firmware
[11:53:53] Beirdo: it should be a couple months more
[11:53:59] Blaksmith: ahh telcom
[11:54:03] Beirdo: hard to say
[11:54:07] Beirdo: yeah, mostly telecom
[11:54:13] stuarta: can't do any telecommuting to CA Beirdo ???
[11:54:19] Beirdo: not legally :)
[11:54:24] juski: rsdvd: yeah well... que sera
[11:54:29] rsdvd: lol
[11:54:29] Blaksmith: lol
[11:54:31] juski: mythmusic & mythvideo are ok
[11:54:36] ** stuarta mumbles something about foreign orders **
[11:54:38] Beirdo: and one doesn't mess with the dept of homeland obscurity
[11:54:59] Beirdo: I'm not giving them any excuse to deport my sorry ass
[11:55:05] rsdvd: they are the most obvious ones
[11:55:11] Blaksmith: the first 5k orders for this controller are going to be installed in Africa for AfricaTel
[11:55:12] juski: load flsh.cof
[11:55:16] juski: bum!
[11:55:20] juski: Ewrongwindow
[11:55:22] Blaksmith: and we are 3 months behind so far :(
[11:55:38] Beirdo: Blaksmith, nothing outta the ordinary there
[11:55:48] Beirdo: just get it right, don't ship non-working shite
[11:55:54] Blaksmith: but, at least we will be able to ship the first one next month
[11:55:55] Beirdo: :)
[11:56:03] juski: doesn't stop our company
[11:56:04] Blaksmith: ya... typical R&d
[11:56:17] Beirdo: juski, yeah, or many others, unfortunately
[11:56:28] Beirdo: don't often get the luxury of doin stuff right
[11:56:29] Blaksmith: most of the wait time was waiting for the circuitboard for me to program
[11:56:37] juski: our biggest company left us a memo on a fax machine I saw where they basically said "we're tired of your crap software. what are we – your beta testers?!"
[11:56:44] Beirdo: Blaksmith, sounds so familiar
[11:56:51] juski: company/customer
[11:56:59] Blaksmith: but, I'll be able to sit here at my computer and upgrade their gensets with a simple phone modem :)9
[11:57:28] Beirdo: heh, but so will the hackers... beware :)
[11:57:38] Blaksmith: fully remote flashable with redundant programming checking before it actually re-programs itself
[11:57:46] Beirdo: good job
[11:57:59] Blaksmith: naa, tripple passwords for remote upgrades...
[11:58:11] Blaksmith: theirs, Ours, and MINE
[11:58:15] Beirdo: heh
[11:59:28] Beirdo: I need better wire strippers, these ones SUCK
[11:59:40] juski: mm strippers
[12:00:28] Blaksmith: ya, we have an external flash chip with the same prog size to do the double checking before it actually programs the chip, so if for some odd reason that the upload is broken, it won't break the genset and require a trip to the box
[12:00:53] Beirdo: which is a good plan when it'll be in the deepest depths of Africa
[12:01:03] Beirdo: how many ebola-evading trips do ya want?
[12:01:24] Blaksmith: yep, if there is a break, they will have to re-send again.. it's for cell sites in Africa
[12:01:51] Blaksmith: 90% of the time, it will be sent all in one shot, but there is always that 10% chance
[12:02:55] Beirdo: using a custom RTOS for that project?
[12:04:09] Blaksmith: ya.. using the PIC18F8722 chip for the controller/regulator
[12:04:17] Blaksmith: with a CAN bus
[12:04:27] Beirdo: cool
[12:05:27] Blaksmith: ya, what I do is make an image on the external eeprom, then once it is verified that all the crc checks are valid, then I tell the host "programming" then re-program the 8722, and reboot
[12:06:01] Blaksmith: a fairly simple task.. the hardest part is all the crc checks
[12:06:37] Beirdo: yeah
[12:09:48] ** juski signs up for terror laterts on his mobile phone **

[12:19:00] stuarta: is that one of the ones you've "deleted"
[12:19:41] Beirdo: bingo

[12:21:07] juski: rsdvd: lol. look at page 2
[12:22:11] stuarta: it's probably busy doing the "friendly" deletes
[12:22:23] Blaksmith: but over 2 days worth?
[12:22:25] stuarta: as Beirdo suggested kill the backend and they will all go away
[12:22:43] willu: hi all
[12:23:00] Blaksmith: will get the hd space back?
[12:23:03] juski: rsdvd: it might even be in my old zenslack image. I have a tarball of a backup from last summer _somewhere_
[12:23:40] juski: rsdvd: I'll add the info to my new pages today :)
[12:23:54] Blaksmith: ok, did the kill
[12:23:59] Blaksmith: and hd space is coming back fast
[12:24:01] stuarta: Blaksmith: UNIX102: open, but unlinked files don't free up space until closed
[12:24:08] juski: I can see now why the site was popular – so much info in _one_ _place_

[12:24:25] Blaksmith: and climbing :D
[12:24:38] willu: quick question: I have a channel with no online guide info. I want to record 2:30–3:30pm weekdays. I set up a manual record. It fails because there is no guide data. Is there an easy way to make this work, or should I report a bug?
[12:24:39] rsdvd: cool – your site will soon be a meca for all S100 modders :-)
[12:25:01] stuarta: for future reference fuser -ck /pub will kill all processes accessing files on /pub
[12:25:03] Blaksmith: ty ty ty!!!!!!
[12:25:21] Blaksmith: ok, will make a mental note of that
[12:25:34] Blaksmith: if my mental note fails, I'll be asking again hahahaha
[12:26:14] Blaksmith: /dev/hdb3 112G 18G 89G 17% /pub
[12:26:57] Blaksmith: ok, I'm happy now heh
[12:30:12] willu: Should Manual Record be able to record on a channel with no guide data?
[12:30:19] Blaksmith: stuarta, would you suggest I put that as a cron say once a week?
[12:30:33] ** frink_ is still bored **
[12:30:48] stuarta: absolutely not.
[12:30:53] Blaksmith: ok
[12:31:28] Blaksmith: ok, so just when things don't seem "right" with hd space?
[12:32:06] stuarta: do as juski suggested. umount the fs and fsck it
[12:32:34] Blaksmith: may do that right now... heeh (after I make sure I'm not recording
[12:32:59] stuarta: well you just killed your backend so i doubt you are recording....
[12:33:01] Blaksmith: eeps.. backend crashed during all of that
[12:33:10] Blaksmith: heh
[12:33:32] willu: Does anyone here use Manual Record?
[12:33:43] stuarta: yes, mainly for testing
[12:34:02] willu: stuarta: do you use it on channels with no guide data?
[12:34:16] Blaksmith: hrm... 2 things have /pub busy.... can't umount it
[12:34:38] Blaksmith: any easy way to see what is keeping it busy?
[12:34:54] ** stuarta suggests Blaksmith read his IRC logs **
[12:35:12] Blaksmith: heh :D (beer #10 here)
[12:35:27] stuarta: EDRUNKQUESTIONS
[12:35:35] Blaksmith: hahahaha
[12:35:44] stuarta: willu: mainly i have guide data, but it shouldn't make any difference
[12:36:10] willu: okie – so the fact that it refuses to record a manual record because it doesn't match the guide data is a bug then

[12:37:24] willu: I schedule a manual recording for that timeslot
[12:37:41] willu: It doesn't record
[12:38:02] cecil: check your backend log
[12:38:12] willu: when I look at upcoming recordings, it tells me that it isn't going to record because it doesn't match the guide data
[12:38:32] willu: cecil: was just doing that – but wanted to check that this should work first

[12:42:18] willu: that might be doing weird things to the scheduler... sigh
[12:42:51] stuarta: ah, quite possible. easiest way to test is to install a clean 11798 and try a test recording
[12:43:03] willu: yeah

[14:32:29] Beirdo: toad-with-underline?
[14:32:31] toad_: is my problem a bug or a missing feature? essentially it boils down to "mythtv should only add channels from the listing source that a) exist, and b) are FTA if the user has asked for them to be"

[14:34:19] Beirdo: not sure. I'd think likely the wishlist page, not sure.
[14:34:23] toad_: Beirdo: it must be possible; myth must be able to connect the tuner-channel with the listings-channel, or nothing would work
[14:34:40] toad_: well, it would make setup a LOT easier
[14:34:44] Beirdo: yeah, but to filter on FTA or not...
[14:34:54] toad_: well we already DO filter on FTA or not
[14:34:57] toad_: there's a checkbox
[14:35:10] toad_: if I don't add a listings source and just use the EIT data and do a scan, then it adds the FTA channels only
[14:35:26] toad_: however, even if I have the FTA-only box checked, if I add a listings source it adds every possible channel
[14:35:34] Beirdo: ahhh
[14:35:40] Beirdo: that might be a bug
[14:35:41] toad_: that sounds like a bug to me?

[14:55:29] toad_: GreyFoxx: I checked the box
[14:55:35] defaultro: with minor pixelization on edges of the objects if you look very close
[14:55:37] juski: arghhh! it's that bloomin word again
[14:55:37] toad_: GreyFoxx: the bug is that it still adds the non-FTA channels
[14:55:44] GreyFoxx: ahhh
[14:55:49] toad_: GreyFoxx: the check box works fine if I'm only using EIT data though
[14:55:49] defaultro: but if i'm like 5 ft, it looks HD still :D

[14:58:16] defaultro: well, what will vendors think, Hmmm, we will loose about 20% of the market, why not make the writer supported in the linux community too :)
[14:58:25] toad_: with a special per-user signature from the MPAA!
[14:58:28] jduggan: juski: shrug, there's about 10people in teh world using linspire
[14:58:32] juski: 20%? who are you kidding?
[14:58:40] defaultro: huh
[14:58:45] toad_: linux is bigger than mac ... but the vast majority is still servers
[14:58:57] juski: we're outnumbered more than that I'd have thought
[14:58:58] defaultro: ah
[14:59:06] juski: as minorities go it's tiny
[14:59:19] toad_: passed mac some years back
[14:59:20] defaultro: that's the number i know about 3 or 4 yrs ago
[14:59:26] defaultro: what is it now?
[14:59:28] toad_: but that includes a LOT of servers
[14:59:36] juski: forget servers
[14:59:38] toad_: defaultro: on the desktop? if it was 5% i'd be surprised
[14:59:42] juski: think desktop seats
[14:59:46] toad_: if it was 10% i'd leap for joy
[14:59:51] defaultro: k
[14:59:54] juski: if it was 2% I'd be surprised tbh
[15:00:06] toad_: nah, google gets 2% from linux iirc
[15:00:29] juski: that doesn't mean people are using it though does it? I mean if it's not worky... ;)
[15:00:51] toad_: windows 87.21% mac 7.36% linux 5.08%
[15:01:00] toad_: so we're just behind mac
[15:01:13] Merlin83b: 2.3% is a hell of a lot of desktops.

[15:01:54] gardengnome: toad_: they do not necessarily correlate with real world
[15:01:58] juski: funny, but of all the people who look at my themes site, 95% use windows
[15:02:23] defaultro: i think the reason why big companies doesn't want to go with linux is due to learning curve especially for people above 45
[15:02:48] juski: I tell a lie.. Windows 861 52.53% Linux/Unix 634 38.68%

[15:17:41] toad_: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2894#comment:2
[15:18:03] toad_: so the problem is specific to one class of grabber?
[15:20:12] Beirdo: seems that way, dunn
[15:22:01] toad_: you talking to me?
[15:22:10] janneg: toad_: mythfilldatabase will add all channels in xmltv file. you haven't configured your grabber correctly, if it fetch data for channels you don't want
[15:23:23] toad_: janneg: so what's the point of mythtv-setup if you have to do everything manually anyway? (sorry if that sounds rude)
[15:24:41] toad_: janneg: at the very least, the documentation (howto page 9) should explain that you have to edit your .xmltv manually
[15:24:54] toad_: it doesn't; it implies that mythtv-setup will sort it out for you
[15:25:16] toad_: which it won't; it adds channels that don't exist in the scan, or that the scan wouldn't have added because it was told not to add FTA channels
[15:26:17] stuarta_: why not just use the EIT data?
[15:26:29] toad_: the EIT data isn't very good
[15:26:50] toad_: it only goes 8 days ahead and uses the same epnum for the first and second half of a film
[15:27:01] toad_: HOWEVER if that is the officially sanctioned way to do it, it should be documented
[15:27:15] juski: gardengnome: I'm redoing em.. they're back at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/justin.hornsby2/s100/
[15:27:20] juski: been updating em a bit
[15:27:21] toad_: i can give you a patch for the howto i suppose...
[15:27:35] juski: downloaded zenslack again & I'm gonna have a play with it some more
[15:28:02] stuarta_: toad_: the EIT data isn't perfect, but it's an alternative for those not wanting to use RT data
[15:28:16] gardengnome: juski: cool stuff.
[15:28:43] janneg: toad_: no, the grabber has a configure mode which mythtv-setup starts
[15:28:43] juski: gardengnome: I just wish it didn't get so many non-english hits. someone should do a german version
[15:29:09] janneg: you can redo that
[15:29:23] gardengnome: juski: i assume the zenega-user.de wiki should be enough.
[15:29:35] toad_: janneg: okay, so it's the "do you want to add channel XYZ?"'s?
[15:30:26] janneg: toad_: I haven't used that in a long time but probably yes
[15:30:32] gardengnome: juski: there's also a german guide: http://www.mythwiki.de/index.php?title=S100
[15:30:40] toad_: well
[15:30:49] juski: gardengnome: so why the big deal about it vanishing?
[15:30:50] toad_: when I set up the RT grabber, it asks me on the console about various channels
[15:31:01] gardengnome: juski: *shrug*
[15:31:16] gardengnome: juski: your website is in our factoids bot
[15:31:30] juski: meaning what?
[15:31:54] toad_: janneg: what is the point of myth adding channels that it can't tune?
[15:32:27] gardengnome: juski: if someone says "falball: s100" in #mythtv-de, he'll be direct to your website (among others)
[15:33:09] toad_: janneg: i just want to narrow this down into a simple bug report or a simple feature request
[15:33:14] juski: well it's gonna stay around for the time being if only for my own reference
[15:33:32] gardengnome: juski: it can't hurt :)
[15:33:47] juski: neither can me learning to control my bad arse temper
[15:33:56] toad_: the nearest i've got so far is "cross-reference the tunable channels from the scanner against the grabbable channels from the listings source"
[15:34:03] juski: less cruel than kicking a dog or a child though eh
[15:34:09] toad_: (which mythtv does anyway later on)
[15:34:29] toad_: (otherwise it wouldn't be able to record anything)
[15:34:41] gardengnome: juski: life isn't that bad, you know ;)
[15:34:48] toad_: so it's probably a matter of tweaking an SQL SELECT statement somewhere... I dunno where though

[15:39:10] toad_: so what we have is not a bug as such ... it's just that mythtv is really dumb, in that it assumes that you know what channels you have, and doesn't bother to work it out itself, for listings, even though in other places it can work it out
[15:39:12] defaultro: outstanding
[15:39:20] stuarta: nipple head
[15:39:24] juski: defaultro: easy.. just use it less so it has significance again
[15:39:29] defaultro: :)
[15:39:48] defaultro: stuarta, yes, like what I said, glxinfo tells that i have it enablede
[15:40:02] toad_: so what i want to add is a setup feature request: "Use the scanned channels list to remove untunable and non-FTA channels from the grabber output." ?
[15:40:04] stuarta: it's like what happens when you replace the use of "the force" with "the pants" in Star Wars
[15:40:16] stuarta: "may the pants be with you"
[15:40:18] ** juski pictures groups of folks with beards stroking their chins while saying 'hmmm awesome' **
[15:40:24] GreyFoxx: hahah
[15:40:30] juski: anyway.. time to picture me driving home
[15:41:00] defaultro: stuarta, what other recommendation you have?
[15:41:16] stuarta: driinfo
[15:41:25] defaultro: ok, let me try that
[15:41:36] stuarta: xdriinfo
[15:41:43] defaultro: ok
[15:41:52] defaultro: [mythtv@localhost root]$ xdriinfo
[15:41:53] defaultro: libGL is too old.
[15:41:56] defaultro: :)
[15:42:01] defaultro: could that be it?
[15:42:38] stuarta: especially with the latest xorg GL they need to be kept in step
[15:42:45] stuarta: so it's worth a try
[15:43:29] stuarta: i would only update it with distro tools
[15:43:41] stuarta: else compile all of X :)
[15:43:42] defaultro: my xorg is still old too
[15:44:16] defaultro: i'm thinking of upgrading to 7.1
[15:44:37] stuarta: i have to keep testing to see if i'm able to move to it.
[15:44:41] defaultro: but was wondering back in early 2005, the FPS was already like that
[15:44:53] defaultro: is 7.1 not stable yet?
[15:45:58] stuarta: dunno, i just have issues getting dual head + free ATI radeon drivers + mythtv working
[15:46:04] defaultro: ok
[15:46:20] defaultro: don't have any issues with that on 6.8.1
[15:46:42] stuarta: it's improving, doesn't crash anymore, but I get bad tearing when using the frontend
[15:46:49] defaultro: oh
[15:47:07] defaultro: using DFP?
[15:47:27] stuarta: i'm still on 6.8.2 too :)
[15:47:34] toad_: okay, I have added a feature request (although I'm still not sure why it isn't a bug) to not add / ignore channels which weren't on the scan output: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_ . . . nitial_setup
[15:47:41] defaultro: am on 6.8.1 and no tearing
[15:47:49] stuarta: defaultro: DFP?
[15:47:57] stuarta: 6.8.2 is fine too
[15:47:57] defaultro: digital flat panel
[15:48:08] defaultro: but dfp is used inside xorg.conf
[15:48:14] defaultro: i had tearing when i was using it
[15:48:14] stuarta: ah, yeah, i have dual LCD 17"
[15:48:26] stuarta: but don't use dfp
[15:48:34] defaultro: yes, i don't use dfp anymore
[15:48:42] defaultro: i didn't know what it was before
[15:48:48] defaultro: i was experimenting
[15:48:57] defaultro: then found out that my hdtv was a crt
[15:49:08] defaultro: so I had to comment it out
[15:49:19] defaultro: it was even using 99%
[15:49:22] defaultro: cpu usage
[15:49:40] defaultro: never came back when I used ConnectedMonitor "CRT"
[15:49:48] defaultro: but don't use it since you are using LCD
[15:49:54] defaultro: don't know if it will harm or not harm it
[15:53:45] ** toad_ will now reset myth to only EIT data, rescan channels, etc... I believe I have reported the bug I ran into to the best of my ability; if you care about it, comment on the bug (2894) or the setup features page, I will get mails and come back if needed **

[16:30:11] juski: he's home
[16:30:25] ** stuarta gets jealous **
[16:30:39] juski: you can answer Neeesat25 stuarta :)
[16:30:56] ** stuarta hides **
[16:30:57] Neeesat25: juski I have convert a video to mpg and transfer it to my Videos folder but I can not fastforward it
[16:31:19] Neeesat25: I try to edit it and again I get Not seektable
[16:31:39] juski: I don't know if myth videos can have seektables
[16:31:46] stuarta: by "Video folder" do you mean mythvideo?
[16:31:47] Neeesat25: I try to mythcommflag but it does find any infos from the database
[16:32:02] Neeesat25: yes mythvideo
[16:32:05] gbee: they can
[16:32:33] juski: blimey. who'd have thunk?
[16:33:16] Neeesat25: Here what I get for it: mythcommflag: ERROR: Unable to find DB info
[16:33:41] gbee: it's stored in the filemarkup table
[16:33:43] stuarta: try the --file option IIRC
[16:34:09] Neeesat25: I have try mythcomflag --rebuild -f
[16:34:25] stuarta: oh hang on, maybe it's the --video option
[16:36:33] Neeesat25: I get: Could not connect to server "" @ port -1
[16:36:52] Neeesat25: and also: RingBuffer::RingBuffer(): Failed to open remote file
[16:37:08] juski: damn. I can't remember how to make a USB stick booty
[16:37:42] stuarta: hrm. i'm assuming you have imported the vid correctly using the UI?
[16:38:10] qu0zl: juski isolinux is what you want to google for if i remember right
[16:38:12] Neeesat25: just upload the file
[16:38:28] juski: qu0zl: don't remember needing isolinux
[16:38:48] qu0zl: if you already have an image of a bootable distro you just dd that on and it'll include the boot stuff
[16:38:56] juski: qu0zl: yeah I know that
[16:39:10] juski: oh wait I DO have a dd image
[16:39:14] Neeesat25: And set the snap from video manager
[16:39:35] qu0zl: isolinux definitely does it if you want to make your own image though, i just checked one of our bootable usb keys here
[16:40:03] juski: ahh bloody annoying ubuntu automounter
[16:40:18] qu0zl: :)
[16:41:49] juski: huh? fdisk can't open /dev/sda
[16:42:28] qu0zl: dmesg doesn't say it got mounted as something weird like sdb right?
[16:43:06] juski: ahhh 'eject' != unmount
[16:43:42] Neeesat25: stuarta: The patch for Monitoring of encryption didn't eliminate the problem with encrypted channels
[16:44:12] Neeesat25: It help a bit but not fully fixed
[16:44:19] ** stuarta looks bemused **
[16:45:14] Inssomniak: in mythvideo using mplayer I can use the keyboard to pause/ff/rw but I cant do it from the remote? is there some other config that has to be done (mplayer needs to have lirc configged?)
[16:45:22] janneg: Neeesat25: which problem?
[16:45:46] Neeesat25: Error encountered while displaying video
[16:45:54] Neeesat25: On encrypted channels
[16:46:24] juski: Inssomniak: you need a ~/.lircrc with mplayer lirc commands inside
[16:46:34] Inssomniak: thats what I figured
[16:46:52] Inssomniak: anyone have such a setup I can bum from?
[16:47:00] juski: Inssomniak: google
[16:48:37] Inssomniak: ok I found it on google, but it goes into a seperate file? not the one in .mythtv ?
[16:48:48] Beirdo: oh YAY, the download of kernel-source finally finished
[16:48:57] Beirdo: now I can compile me some lirc modules
[16:49:12] Beirdo: oh, motherfuckers
[16:49:21] Beirdo: it downloaded 2.4.27!?
[16:49:25] qu0zl: lol
[16:49:32] Beirdo: I wanted the source to my current kernel, beotches.
[16:49:37] qu0zl: lol

[17:03:06] janneg: Neeesat25: do you use th latest patch from 2874?
[17:03:11] Neeesat25: But even if my card is working sometimes it can happens. Then I have to get out of LiveTV and Back in to clear

[17:35:52] juski: that was before vim even existed I think
[17:36:00] juski: seeya Neeesat25

[17:37:11] Dr_willis: heh. i rember using ed ages ago....
[17:37:25] juski: we had ed back then aswell. vi got my vote
[17:37:31] Dr_willis: juski, i doubt if things will be that simple.
[17:38:03] Beirdo: worth a try though
[17:38:11] juski: Dr_willis: I know libraries are linked but I dunno the extent to which they go

[17:39:52] juski: gonna get rid of the illegal stuff in zenslack & kind of roll my own
[17:40:16] juski: or rather roll my own 'mythtv plugin'
[17:40:49] juski: last time I looked at it, the mythtv install had some well dodgy stuff in it
[17:41:25] Beirdo: like skipping commercials :)
[17:41:27] Beirdo: hehe
[17:41:34] juski: no, like 'free cable'

[17:41:40] Beirdo: ick
[17:41:46] Dr_willis: never noticed any free cable. :)

[17:41:56] juski: gardengnome: haha I know
[17:42:08] juski: the box is quiet so I don't mind leaving it on for ages
[17:42:14] ** Dr_willis sneaks over to the neighbors and 'borrows' their signal. **
[17:42:28] gardengnome: juski: make sure you've got enough swap space. the OOM killer might kick in otherwise.
[17:42:31] Paladine: yay 24: Season 6 Eps 1 and 2 just showed up in my schedule :)
[17:42:32] Beirdo: borrow the TV while yer at it
[17:42:42] juski: gardengnome: ahh.. some NFS swap might be called for then
[17:42:45] Dr_willis: ya know given the # of channels and stuff.. its amazing the amount of data that gets sent over these cables...
[17:42:52] gardengnome: juski: good luck with that.
[17:43:03] gardengnome: juski: i'd suggest you just make a slackware chroot
[17:43:03] juski: NFS swap is no good?
[17:43:15] Dr_willis: swap file over nfs... hmmm
[17:43:23] juski: or just slow?
[17:43:26] Dr_willis: not sure thats a good idea or not.
[17:43:32] Beirdo: slooow
[17:43:39] Dr_willis: ive heard of it being done/discussed... but never really looked into it.
[17:44:02] juski: course there could be major snafus if it gets out of sync
[17:44:15] Beirdo: I'd only use it in specific situations like what juski's doing, personally
[17:44:42] juski: chrooting should be pretty safe though
[17:44:47] Beirdo: better to avoid using swap if possible on a dickless client
[17:44:58] juski: then I could use all the spare cpu on my backend box
[17:45:00] Beirdo: usually not possible though
[17:45:20] gnome42: Beirdo: lol :)
[17:45:31] juski: har har
[17:45:42] Dr_willis: hmm – im using 17mb of swap!
[17:45:45] Dr_willis: egads!
[17:45:46] Dr_willis: :)
[17:45:55] juski: nah to be on the safe side I think I could just free up my 160GB USB disk
[17:45:56] Dr_willis: 33mb free
[17:46:22] gardengnome: juski: chroot means that you don't have to get up
[17:46:31] Beirdo: and that's a good thing
[17:46:43] Beirdo: save getting up for the beer fetching and the beer eliminating
[17:46:59] juski: would I be able to do the chrooting on my umbongo box?
[17:47:12] juski: like make the fs, then chroot into it?
[17:47:18] gardengnome: juski: yeppers.

[17:47:28] juski: thought as much but wasn't sure
[17:47:28] gardengnome: done*
[17:47:40] Beirdo: wonder how strong the cinnamon flavor is now
[17:48:16] gardengnome: juski: stuff like compiling kernel modules might bt tricky because your running kernel doesn't necessarily match the one you're compiling for, but you could still do that on the s100.
[17:48:30] juski: gardengnome: I've got a kernel :)
[17:48:38] gardengnome: juski: for the s100?
[17:48:42] juski: yeah
[17:48:55] juski: and I could dig the modules out of zenslack
[17:49:51] gardengnome: the .config ought to be sufficient
[17:50:37] ** juski wonders if there's really any need for zenslack to still be using devfs **
[17:52:40] juski: I remember having to export system variables chrooting to install gentoo.. would I have to do that here?
[17:54:59] gardengnome: umm. prolly not. maybe you'll have to bind-mount /proc and/or /dev.
[17:55:11] juski: ah

[17:58:12] Beirdo: heh, anyone want to model a circuit in pspice for me? ;)
[17:58:33] ** moh thinks back to the pspice days **
[17:58:41] juski: Beirdo: I could have done at work
[17:58:59] juski: what's the schematic – maybe I can figure it out
[17:59:13] Beirdo: it's just my IR transmitter, I'm wondering if my capacitor sizing is large enough
[17:59:41] Beirdo: I'm trying to balance the charge time and current with the discharge (through the IR LED) time and current
[17:59:58] juski: Beirdo: you got a digital camera / camera phone to see if the LED(s) light up?
[18:00:18] Beirdo: yeah, but I'll just use a voltmeter :)
[18:00:19] Beirdo: heh
[18:00:45] Beirdo: then once I know the voltages are there, I'll let it loose on our cable box
[18:00:50] robthebob: mythbackend appears to stop writing to my log file after a short amount of time running
[18:01:01] robthebob: any random reason why?
[18:01:03] Beirdo: but first I need LIRC modules, and the kernel source download's takin hours. fun
[18:01:36] Beirdo: I should put my schematic into gschem or something, and put it online
[18:01:53] Beirdo: I'm using a lot more diode protection than the homebrew ones on lirc.org
[18:02:36] Chromeroo (Chromeroo!n=michal@24-51-92-117.kntnny.adelphia.net) has joined #mythtv-users

[18:05:09] Beirdo: Radio Shack didn't have 78L05, of course
[18:05:25] Beirdo: raptorjr, libfaad, I think it is
[18:05:32] chickeneater (chickeneater!n=lastlee@unaffiliated/chickeneater) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:05:54] raptorjr: thank you, do i have to recompile myth or is it enought to install libfaad?
[18:06:12] Beirdo: that I'm not sure. try installing the lib first :)
[18:06:23] raptorjr: ok, i'll try. thank you
[18:06:47] Beirdo: juski, so basically... +5V supply, through a 1k resistor to a 470uF cap to ground for charging
[18:06:47] juski: jees zenslack doesn't even have ping!
[18:07:09] juski: Beirdo: hmm not even too much current for the port..
[18:07:58] Beirdo: then at the node between that resistor and the cap, the LED to a 100ohm resistor to the collector on an NPN, with the emitter going to ground, base to a 10k resistor to the DTR line (through a diode)
[18:08:20] Beirdo: yeah, I aimed for 5mA charge current
[18:09:05] Beirdo: and about 33mA through the LED (max current of 150mA), but I might have to fiddle that part
[18:09:12] juski: Beirdo: is the cap staying charged?
[18:09:29] Beirdo: no, during transmit, it will discharge to source the LED
[18:09:40] juski: of course but is it charging?
[18:09:40] Beirdo: along with the 5mA from the serial port
[18:09:55] Beirdo: I haven't actually plugged in yet :)
[18:09:56] Beirdo: hehe
[18:10:26] Beirdo: waiting until I have lirc_serial so I can actually turn the RTS line to +10V
[18:10:55] Beirdo: RC constant for charge is 470ms, for discharge, 47ms
[18:11:45] Beirdo: and I'm not clear if that 47ms discharge presents enough time for the transmission (with the modulation, etc included), and I have yet to find online specs on the remote control protocol
[18:12:18] Beirdo: one RC constant (37%) brings 5V -> 1.7V (IIRC) which is the forward voltage of the LED
[18:13:42] Beirdo: the package said 1.3V typ – 1.7V max
[18:13:48] Beirdo: I thought it was a bit low too
[18:14:14] Beirdo: I expected in the range of 3V
[18:14:45] Beirdo: I COULD go out and get a 22mF cap for that circuit, but it would take forever for initial charge :)
[18:14:50] juski: 47ms.. hmm... carrier freq. is 38khz.. rc5 is er... let's see..
[18:15:13] Peggerrr: how big a hard drive does everyone have???
[18:15:33] Beirdo: Peggerrr, got me a RAID5 of 4 x 300G
[18:15:48] BULLE: Peggerrr: 6x320gb + 2x200gb
[18:15:52] Peggerrr: Beirdo, so how much usable space is that
[18:15:54] juski: Beirdo 47ms might be too short a time
[18:16:01] Beirdo: 900G, just short of 1TB
[18:16:12] juski: but you can easily bulk it up with another 470uF ;)
[18:16:17] Peggerrr: do you use most of all that space?
[18:16:31] Beirdo: juski, yeah, that was my gut feeling. Each part in the modulation will be ramping down like a saw tooth
[18:16:36] ** juski has 1x500GB, 1x320GB **
[18:16:42] Beirdo: yeah, almost all of it
[18:16:50] juski: and that ^^ is about 85% full most of the time
[18:16:50] Beirdo: it's disgusting, really :)
[18:17:05] ** gardengnome is gonna have 1x 500GB, 1x 160GB and 1x 120GB in the new mythtv box **
[18:17:19] juski: gardengnome: if you don't manager to blow em up ;)
[18:17:21] Beirdo: OK, thanks, juski. Just wanted to get another EE-type of mind grinding on it for a short time
[18:17:23] Peggerrr: wow, I just got mine set up yesterday with a 80GB, and I was thinking about upgradeing to a 300GB but I guess I am not even close
[18:17:45] Beirdo: I can up the capacitance easily enough, but the charge time will be atrocious
[18:17:55] Beirdo: however, if it never really discharges, who cares
[18:18:17] gardengnome: juski: it'd better not blow up. ;)
[18:18:37] juski: Beirdo: you could always just drag +5V from a spare USB port ;)
[18:18:57] juski: up to 500mA
[18:19:14] Peggerrr: guess I defently need to get one of these in order to keep up http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.438709/it.A/id.22/.f
[18:19:27] Beirdo: yeah, I could...
[18:19:44] juski: all these slackware guides I see just go for the ;sod it, install all the packages' options :(
[18:20:00] Beirdo: 5mA peak charge current is kinda good for me serial port though :)
[18:20:12] gardengnome: Peggerrr: with my current ~110GB, i can record about 40 hours at 6MBit/s. that's not much.
[18:20:28] Beirdo: I considered drain resistors from RTS and Tx (aka +/-10V lines) to GND, but didn't bother yet
[18:20:40] Peggerrr: gardengnome, how many GB is that a hour?
[18:20:48] Beirdo: that way when you unplug it would eventually drain the caps, but fuck it
[18:21:03] Peggerrr: gardengnome, are you recording HD?
[18:21:04] Beirdo: 100k resistors wouldn't be much more constant current though
[18:21:58] gardengnome: Peggerrr: 2700MB/h
[18:22:07] gardengnome: Peggerrr: no, SDTV with PVR 250s
[18:22:11] Peggerrr: so gig and a half
[18:22:39] juski: Peggerrr: HDDs have never been cheaper. get as much storage as you can afford.
[18:22:50] gardengnome: Peggerrr: about two gig and a half i'd say ;)
[18:22:50] juski: don't use lvm without raid if you can help it, either
[18:22:55] Peggerrr: gardengnome, then they will be cheeper tomorrow
[18:23:47] juski: actually when storage groups makes it into 0.21, you won't even _need_ lvm to have heaps of storage in the stable branch of mythtv :)

[19:39:07] Paladine: and I get 1500GB per month on my server for $99 a month

[19:39:52] Zider: Paladine: exactly
[19:39:53] Paladine: I have 160GB on my leased server
[19:40:23] gardengnome: i only have 80GB, but it's only like 20 bucks/month
[19:40:32] juski: my hobby isn't worth paying that much for even
[19:40:35] gardengnome: EUR20, to be more specific
[19:40:58] juski: though I wouldn't mind having better tracking & logging
[19:41:10] juski: .. or infact ANY logging come to think of it
[19:41:16] Paladine: at leaseweb you can get unmetered 10Mbit connection for 69 euros a month
[19:41:16] gardengnome: juski: i share it with three or four other people so it doesn't cost me a lot. i mainly use it for IRC
[19:41:23] Paladine: I used to have a server farm there
[19:41:32] Zider: I have 600GB and only pay for the internet connection, $45 or so
[19:41:39] Zider: ;)
[19:42:20] Paladine: Zider, yeah I will be shutting down my leased server in the near future once I get round to migrating the email for 30ish domains to my home server
[19:42:34] juski: I pay £2.99 a year for my domain name & that's it
[19:42:35] Zider: 100/10Mbit connection, no limits

[19:43:09] Paladine: juski, I recently shed a lot of domains, went from 96 to 37 :)
[19:43:29] juski: costs WAY too much for individuals
[19:43:32] gardengnome: oh, need to restart my IRC client. i had accidentally set reverse dns to it
[19:43:33] juski: in the UK anyway
[19:44:16] gardengnome: juski: you get .de domains for 10€/year
[19:44:22] juski: ouch
[19:44:33] Paladine: juski, most .uk domains are about 6 quid a year
[19:44:39] Paladine: which is far from expensive
[19:44:39] juski: ouch
[19:44:55] Paladine: the first domain I ever bought cost me 65 quid
[19:44:59] Paladine: back in 1997
[19:45:07] Paladine: soprices have dropped a hell of a lot
[19:45:14] juski: costs them bugger all to set up though
[19:45:46] Paladine: costs money to purchase the domain (even for resellers) and it takes a member of staff who has to be paid wages, to setup the nameservers etc
[19:46:02] Paladine: so I disagree that it costs them bugger all to setup
[19:46:09] juski: ach well
[19:46:41] juski: still money for old rope I reckon
[19:47:04] Paladine: in this day and age I think everyone should have their own domain even if it is just for running their own email
[19:47:22] Zider: I have my own domain :)
[19:47:23] juski: why would any individual want to run their own email?
[19:47:31] gardengnome: juski: because i can.

[19:48:21] Paladine: about 10% of it is spam that manages to get through my filters
[19:48:22] gardengnome: actually, i wouldn't mind having a managed server right now, or at least some good webspace with email. taking care of your own server can take a lot of time
[19:48:58] juski: I'd rather have free time to spend on messing with mythtv & stuff than bollocking about with email servers etc
[19:49:41] juski: oh wow. I just found a backup of a 0.18 database. how quaint!
[19:50:40] Paladine: there isn't any bollocking about required really, just the initial setup, which for a single domain takes about 20 minutes for a novice, about 5 for someone familiar with postscript/imap
[19:51:27] GreyFoxx: juski: I have the 0.9 source packages here if you want to see quaint :)
[19:51:37] Paladine: postfix I meant, not postscript
[19:51:49] Paladine: thats what I get for nattering when playing with pdfs :)

[19:52:07] gardengnome: Paladine: we're running syscp on our box. quite handy.

[19:53:10] Paladine: postfix is so much better than sendmail imo
[19:53:17] juski: GreyFoxx: yeah I used a very very old 'blue' theme background as the basis for blootube's background :)
[19:53:25] GreyFoxx: heh
[19:53:39] GreyFoxx: I keep every bit of source I've downloaded in the last 9 years :)
[19:53:44] GreyFoxx: some of it older than that
[19:53:47] juski: right. USB HDD. check. slack DVD.. check
[19:53:54] GreyFoxx: every version of everything :)
[19:53:59] juski: way to boot & run setup.. erm...
[19:54:29] juski: aha! another usb stick
[19:55:10] gardengnome: GreyFoxx: except for the dxr3 stuff ;)
[19:55:36] juski: fdisk.. not found. thanks zenny

[19:56:12] juski: yet
[19:57:13] juski: riiight. my 160GB disk is /dev/sdb
[19:57:19] momelod: i have a problem with my new install of mythtv on debian using a pvr-150 card. Playback of both recordings and live tv seem sluggish, however using an external program to play the recordings plays perfectly. What could i change in the mythfrontend to improve playback?

[20:05:04] Paladine: people still use lilo?
[20:05:13] seth|laptop: KM does
[20:05:46] seth|laptop: its getting grub'd tonight when I get home
[20:07:14] momelod: does anyone have any ideas why i would get sluggish playback in mythfrontend but smooth playback with external players?
[20:07:55] seth|laptop: what type of content
[20:08:15] juski: so I can't actually just dd bootdisk.img to a usb stick.. pfft
[20:08:16] momelod: live tv over coax
[20:08:49] momelod: juski try puppylinux, u can boot from cdrom and then install to usbdisk
[20:08:54] juski: momelod: wrong mpeg decoder method? try another. try disabling opengl vsync if it's enabled.
[20:09:05] juski: momelod: booting from cdrom isn't an option. no cdrom
[20:09:11] momelod: yeah, btw im using the mesa opengl drivers
[20:09:16] momelod: is that just a bad idea?
[20:10:01] juski: momelod: maybe, I dunno
[20:10:05] momelod: i tried the ffmpeg and mpeg-2 decoders, same for both
[20:12:01] juski: ahh I need usbboot.img
[20:16:21] Dagmar: Well, um kinda.
[20:16:35] Dagmar: There's a thing that's a cousin to the ISOLINUX project to make bootable CDs that's for USB sticks.
[20:17:00] Zider: syslinux?
[20:17:05] Dagmar: It all basically works the same way, but with a different bootstrap, and of course the slightly smallish chance your motherboard will actually boot from a USB device

[20:19:54] Dagmar: I had to go digging to verify
[20:19:59] ivor: evenin all
[20:20:10] Dagmar: syslinux is mainly needed when you're emulating the initial image as a floppy drive, sort of
[20:20:46] Dagmar: It's annoyingly vague but mainly, if your machine boots from USB, there's plenny of ways to make it complete the process, but it's not as simple as just kicking lilo on there
[20:21:18] null: Why would I see a recorded show on one frontend in the 'watch recordings' screen but not on another?

[20:21:47] Dagmar: Yes. That's the fun thing covered in the URL I just posted
[20:22:14] Dagmar: It takes a bit for the USB controllers to be identified and enumerated, so if you want to do more than just have the kernel light up you have to take special care to *wait* for them
[20:23:50] juski: the kernel for this should already be patched though.. this is a 'usb' image
[20:24:30] Dagmar: might be that they didn't include support for your controller in that kernel image

[20:25:50] juski: course I could always make an IDE bootdisk
[20:25:58] Dagmar: Yepper
[20:26:00] ivor: juski: why is it that as soom as you've got one setup actually working you go off and find one that doesn't??
[20:26:02] juski: or say screw it & just borrow the dvd drive out of this machine
[20:26:20] juski: ivor: geek nature?
[20:26:29] ivor: fair enough
[20:26:29] juski: busy busy, etc
[20:26:32] Dagmar: juski: DVD ROM drives are like $20 after all the taxes and whatnot. You should really have a spare one around
[20:26:52] juski: Dagmar: I do. both of which are sitting in machines & I barely use em
[20:27:00] Dagmar: "spare" means "extra"
[20:27:10] Dagmar: ;)
[20:27:16] gardengnome: juski: i dunno what you're trying to do, but if you just want get some linux up and running temporarily on the s100: try damn small linux
[20:27:21] sean: when i try to compile ivtv i get the following error(using ubuntu 6.10): Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/Module.symversion is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions. Could anyone help me out?
[20:27:36] ivor: nah you offload old dvd drives to relatives
[20:28:00] juski: gardengnome: I've already got zenslack working, but I want to set up slack from scratch, and it won't let me do that
[20:28:34] juski: so I need a boot device that'll give me the bare essentials to load a basic slack, then run setup & install to my usb hdd
[20:29:00] Dagmar: juski: BTW, I noted a rumor on one of those pages to the effect of EPIA boards are slightly dammnable in the wya they handle USB thumbdrive booting
[20:29:09] gardengnome: juski: ok, dunno if DSL has got everything
[20:29:23] juski: I think there's no alternative but to open the s100 & slap my winduhs dvd drive in there
[20:29:28] Dagmar: You might want to try booting from a _power disconnected_ state if you're still spanking around with those S100's
[20:29:59] juski: why? what'd that bring to the party?
[20:30:10] Dagmar: I went through like nine web pages from Google rather quickly looking for something I'd remember, and now i can't find where that was just mentioned
[20:30:16] juski: and yeah I know about the alleged epia slow usb booting
[20:30:51] Dagmar: You know, I really should mention... I gave up _experimenting_ with weird hardware back in 1998.
[20:31:07] Dagmar: If I'm going to do something unusual, I do it on hardware I know very, very well first.
[20:31:40] Dagmar: Might make your life easier to get a cheap but very generic and Linux-friendly system, just for prototyping
[20:31:44] juski: I've done this before
[20:31:52] juski: just not with slack
[20:32:05] Dagmar: O RLY
[20:32:19] gardengnome: juski: is it still set to boot from USB in the BIOS? mine tends to forget it...
[20:32:33] juski: gardengnome: it starts to boot then the kernel hangs
[20:32:42] Dagmar: *chuckle* Heh. Sorry I got a little excited there, since I'm installing Slack 11 on phearkitty right now, going to make a frontend for the bedroom
[20:32:46] Beirdo: I fucking hate my neighbors

[20:33:07] Dagmar: Beirdo: Do you think they'll all fit in the backyard?
[20:33:30] Beirdo: he likes to race the engine all the time and set off his alarm
[20:33:46] juski: now if my shitty creative dvd-rom drive would read dvd-r disks...
[20:33:51] Dagmar: You could set of his alarm for him
[20:34:19] juski: Beirdo: I hear freak car fires are quite a common occurence in PR ;)
[20:34:31] Beirdo: heh
[20:34:46] Beirdo: tempting
[20:35:23] juski: if only slack had an easily accessible setup binary on the dvd
[20:35:25] Dagmar: Since the UK has a more reasonable environment, you might be able to find one of those air-zookas for sale somewhere that isn't afraid of lawsuits for eardrum damage
[20:35:31] gardengnome: Beirdo: get a riced out tank.
[20:35:34] Dagmar: They will set off car alarms at a distance, no problem

[20:36:39] Dagmar: Yes, but I can pretty uch guarantee if you made a hobby of strolling outside in the middle of the nigth and popping his window with the airzooka to set off the alarm, soon he would take care of the problem
[20:37:02] Beirdo: Hmmm, I wonder what kinda veggie would be big enough to block his tailpipes
[20:37:32] Dagmar: I drove the last poor bastard who lived near me just about insane until he quit screwing with his alarm

[20:44:32] Beirdo: but now that Toronto is history for me... YAY!
[20:44:40] Beirdo: here's for 85F on Christmas :)
[20:44:47] Dagmar: I figure it looks like it's 10 years behind because apparently the lunatic fringe doesn't vandalize everything in sight
[20:45:14] Dagmar: Buildings that don't get abused don't need to be remodeled as often
[20:45:15] Beirdo: quite likely so
[20:45:18] slowone: http://www.apple.com/appletv/ <- can i run mythfrontend on it????
[20:45:33] Dagmar: Why the hell would you
[20:45:52] Dagmar: No offense, but Apple has their shit very, very together with respect to multimedia
[20:45:55] Zider: apple, ew
[20:46:04] Zider: shit is the word
[20:46:11] slowone: uh so i can watch mythtv..
[20:46:13] Dagmar: ...and you can't really buy hardware that would be good for doing that without getting Apple's software for doing it
[20:46:27] ** Beirdo bitch-slaps some Ubuntu or debian wonks **
[20:46:31] Dagmar: It would probably be simpler to just get the thing to be able to talk to MythTV without running Myth on it
[20:46:44] Beirdo: lirc-modules-source... it requires a config file in /etc/lirc...
[20:46:58] GreyFoxx: Does that think do upnp? If so we can hopefully get it to work with mythtv
[20:46:59] slowone: <- needs a quiter frontend ;p
[20:46:59] Beirdo: but it doesn't create it with the dpkg-reconfigure, even though it appears it should
[20:47:31] Dagmar: Okay. The thing runs a pimped out iTunes
[20:47:43] Dagmar: I would really just do something to make the backend punt files where it can see them
[20:48:21] Dagmar: GreyFoxx: Macs are infamous for their local network grabbiness, so it's probably UPnP capable.
[20:48:36] GreyFoxx: Sweet, in that case it could stream the video/music/reecordings directly
[20:48:50] GreyFoxx: But interesting to find out once people start getting them
[20:48:51] Dagmar: I go to coffee houses and I see macs all over doing their happy little discovery protocol stuff
[20:49:09] juski: bootay from dvd-rom-ay
[20:49:22] CCFL_Man: but upnp is so crappy...
[20:49:45] Dagmar: it'a actually pretty useful
[20:49:51] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: upnp is perfectly fine, and very handy
[20:49:56] Dagmar: The documentation for it is like the bat book tho
[20:50:10] GreyFoxx: don't be suprised to see a lot more of the mythstuff move that way
[20:50:22] Beirdo: wow, that cabbage went right through my system... Excuse the stench.
[20:50:29] Dagmar: I'm sure if you look around O'Reilly has probably gotten the people who wrote their Sendmail book something to tell people about UPNP by now
[20:50:30] CCFL_Man: isn't a samba share just as good?
[20:50:45] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: upnp is handy for much more than just raw data access
[20:51:02] GreyFoxx: expect to see mythfrontends auito discover mythbackends on the network
[20:51:09] Dagmar: Item #2 on that page... "Sync wirelessly from your Mac or PC"
[20:51:11] GreyFoxx: and suck down config info from them
[20:51:17] GreyFoxx: no more configuring a lot of stuff
[20:51:27] Beirdo: GreyFoxx, the one thing I don't like about that... maybe...
[20:51:30] GreyFoxx: but it's all work in progress/concept stuff at the moment
[20:51:38] Dagmar: There is iPod sync software for Linux. It's only a matter of time before this thing is fully supported.
[20:51:53] Beirdo: if you run two separate backend systems (production & devel), how does the frontend get to choose?
[20:52:03] Dagmar: Beirdo: Depends on what it's doing
[20:52:34] GreyFoxx: Well, the discovery as I see it will happen in 2 ways, 1 the first run of the frontend discovers and asks " There are 2 master backend son your network, which do you want to join"
[20:52:37] Dagmar: mostly it depends on what's in the database for that frontend telling it which is it's _primary_ backend
[20:52:44] Beirdo: oooh
[20:52:52] Beirdo: now that would be nice :)
[20:52:52] GreyFoxx: and secondly if it fails to reach the backend it already knows about it will do another discovery
[20:53:01] Dagmar: GreyFoxx: Stop it you're gettnig me all excited.
[20:53:02] ** Beirdo likes **
[20:53:07] GreyFoxx: It will happen
[20:53:19] Dagmar: I'm sure it will. It's too bloody perfect a solution
[20:53:32] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: i suppose when it's used in open source stuff, just that i don't like it's insecurity
[20:53:41] GreyFoxx: In fact eventually you wont even have to expose mysql as the client will suck the data from the backend
[20:53:47] Dagmar: Man I can see tonight that I'm going to be reading up on the rendevous stuff
[20:54:05] Dagmar: I'm pretty sure I could literally scribble together support for that in two nights
[20:54:07] Beirdo: that could have advantages too
[20:54:20] Dagmar: Avahi would probably do it with no trouble at all
[20:54:23] GreyFoxx: I've been playing with getting most of the settings database pulls going through it
[20:54:52] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: Myth has no security now. the backend is wide open if you can reach the port

[20:56:12] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: Some of it yes, and eventually for almost all data lookups
[20:56:22] Beirdo: strange, the instructions there don't use the lirc-modules-source package that doesn't want to work for me :)
[20:56:28] Beirdo: I think I'll do what it says
[20:56:39] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: even fir data access?
[20:57:00] Beirdo: woohoo. the puppy caught a fly. good girl
[20:57:04] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: For pulling up frontends settings, pulling back the music metadata when mythmusic is run, etc
[20:57:04] Beirdo: hehe, sorry
[20:57:19] Dagmar: You could definitely facilitate discovery through Avahi quickly
[20:57:30] Dagmar: OOO I think I will be taking a poke at this tonight
[20:57:39] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: ahh, ok, sounds like a good idea to me now
[20:57:53] Dagmar: I think I could make this work with shell script. Heh
[20:58:04] null: Why would I see a recorded show on one frontend in the 'watch recordings' screen but not on another? anyone?
[20:58:06] GreyFoxx: Dagmar: You certainly could
[20:58:21] GreyFoxx: null: One is likely got a different filter on the Watch recordings screen
[20:58:26] null: hm
[20:58:26] Dagmar: null: Content rating, at a guess
[20:58:29] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: you think myth frontend could run on the linksys wma11b?
[20:58:29] GreyFoxx: hit M, hit change filter and set it to All programs
[20:58:35] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: No clue :)
[20:58:47] null: GreyFoxx: but when I select "All Recordings" on the left, it should display all, or not?
[20:59:08] Dagmar: It won't typically display LiveTV recordings unless you've told it explicitly to
[20:59:09] Zider: wma11b, sounds line a wifi adapter
[20:59:10] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: intel 400mhz pxa with 16mb ram, uses upnp to grab the os image
[20:59:17] null: Dagmar: it is a scheduled recording
[20:59:18] Dagmar: ...and you might have different filter settings tehre
[20:59:20] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: Not enough ram
[20:59:31] null: i'll have a look at those filters
[20:59:53] Dagmar: I dont' touch my filters ever because it's crashing the frontend at the moment

[22:57:33] dilano: I know the reciever works, it came from my old VDR setup
[22:57:33] ivor: otherwise it'll be a bit jumpy occasionally.
[22:57:55] Xanium4332: I think that's what I need, cause at the moment my picture 'flickers' vertically, if you know what I mean
[22:58:03] Xanium4332: but my video's at 50Hz
[22:58:17] Xanium4332: and xvidtune reports my refresh rate is 50.00Hz
[22:58:27] sandeen: dilano, what does service lircd status say
[22:58:27] Xanium4332: (thats the most accurate I could get it with xtiming)
[22:58:46] sandeen: dilano, and are your modules loaded, lsmod | grep lirc
[22:59:21] juski: Xanium4332: never seen good results with bob without xvmc

[22:59:55] Xanium4332: how does XvMC help bob
[23:00:07] sandeen: dilano, lircd start should at least say "Starting infrared remote control daemon: "
[23:00:16] dilano: no, nothing
[23:00:16] ivor: Zider: if you have my sample... you won't have any working video drivers.
[23:00:22] dilano: just goes to next line
[23:00:32] Zider: ivor: no drivers developed yet?
[23:00:36] Xanium4332: XvMC doesn't seem to work for me either, it just seems to fail and drop back to Xv
[23:00:40] sandeen: dilano, ok do you have /etc/lircd.conf ?
[23:00:42] dilano: and sbin/lsmod | grep lirc returns nothign
[23:00:48] sandeen: it won't do anything if that file doesn't exist
[23:01:10] ivor: Zider: probably not working yet. no.
[23:01:16] dilano: no, nothing their either
[23:01:22] sandeen: ditto for /usr/sbin/lircd and lircmd, they must exist & be executable
[23:01:22] juski: right.. take 2 at slack install
[23:01:30] Zider: ivor: darn :)
[23:01:42] sandeen: dilano, rpm -q lirc?

[23:03:00] dilano: unning that, i get: lirc-0.8.1–65_cvs20061130.fc6.at
[23:03:04] dilano: *running
[23:03:11] sandeen: so you have /etc/init.d/lircd but not /etc/lircd.conf?
[23:03:22] sandeen: sounds like you've lost some files from your package
[23:03:41] sandeen: rpm -V lirc will verify the lirc rpm's contents
[23:03:49] dilano: yes, /etc/init.d/lircd is there
[23:03:56] sandeen: if you have stuff missing you might uninstall & reinstall it, and dont' delete those files again ;-)
[23:04:25] dilano: well, I never deleted them... I got the rpms like the guide says.. and nothing was working  :)
[23:04:57] dilano: as seems to be the case for most of what I do...  :)
[23:05:21] sandeen: does rpm -V lirc give you a few "missing" results?
[23:05:24] juski: let's just get slack on the hdd.. worry about making a custom kernel later....
[23:05:25] dilano: wouldn't bother me so much, but wife likes a "remote"
[23:05:53] juski: to hell with it.. full install here I go
[23:06:17] dilano: doing that command, it thinks for a second, and just goes to the next line... nothign shows up
[23:06:30] sandeen: then it thinks it's ok. ls /etc/lircd.conf shows nothing?
[23:06:54] dilano: NSFOD
[23:07:15] sandeen: if you look at the top of /etc/init.d/lircd, you can see that there are several tests done before it gets underway. one of them is failing
[23:07:28] sandeen: you can run it with sh -x /etc/init.d/lircd start and see how far it gets
[23:08:38] dilano: ok, what would one be looking for
[23:08:51] sandeen: i'm guessing you're not familiar with bash scripting :)
[23:09:04] dilano: no, sorry
[23:09:06] sandeen: paste the sh -x output into a pastebin somewhere and I'll take a look
[23:09:08] dilano: wish I was
[23:09:09] sandeen: stuff like
[23:09:24] sandeen: [ -x /some/file] || exit means if /some/file doesn't exist or isn't executable, exit
[23:09:37] sandeen: -f in that same sort of construct means "file exists"

[23:38:44] sandeen: wait you told me it existed?
[23:38:58] dilano: onle /sbin/lircd* exists
[23:39:04] dilano: *only
[23:39:18] dilano: nothing in /etc/ exists for lircd
[23:39:29] sandeen: oh no I misunderstood, sorry. ok, well, you need /etc/lircd.conf for the thing to fire up
[23:39:37] dilano: gotcha
[23:39:49] sandeen: that file comes from my package, lirc-0.8.1–65_cvs20061130.fc6.at
[23:40:09] sandeen: so I don't know why you don't have it
[23:40:12] dilano: how do I obtain that file?
[23:41:02] dilano: or both of those files
[23:41:26] sandeen: huh my rpm db claims to own it but rpm -ql on the package doesn't list it, odd
[23:41:49] dilano: cause I will need lircd.conf and lircmd.conf, correct?
[23:41:55] sandeen: one or the other IIRC
[23:42:15] sandeen: ok well anyway that file is specific to your remote, what do you have
[23:43:04] dilano: I can use anything... I got a logitech harmony
[23:43:20] dilano: I can maybe program my cable remote
[23:43:31] sandeen: well you'll need to read some more, i can't just give you my copy of that file, it's specific to a pvr 150 remote
[23:43:38] sandeen: if you can 't make it work, send me your remote ;-)
[23:44:15] dilano: gotcha
[23:44:24] sandeen: note, I probably won't send it back if you do :D
[23:44:45] dilano: so go on to lirc website, then DL the correct working file, right?? and save to the locations specified.. right?
[23:44:54] sandeen: something like that
[23:45:09] sandeen: since the harmony is programmable I don't know what "the correct working file" is
[23:45:18] sandeen: the file contains stuff like:
[23:45:18] sandeen: RECORD 0x00000000000017B7
[23:45:23] dilano: yulp
[23:45:26] sandeen: which is unique to the signal your remote is sending
[23:45:36] dilano: wish I saved it from my old windows install
[23:45:57] dilano: I programed my whole remote.... :(

[23:49:05] sandeen: i'd like to find a nice remote that can control everything that isn't -that- expensive...
[23:49:40] Milosch: man, why is this nvidia so UNsharp
[23:53:27] Milosch: i switched from the PVR-350 output to the builtin GeForce 6150
[23:56:23] kormoc: set the valeus
[23:57:11] juski: whee changing my mind about slack.. this is pretty spiffyliscious :)
