[00:00:21] gardengnome: i used to use joe and nano a lot
[00:00:25] gardengnome: now it's just vi,
[00:00:27] gardengnome: err, vim
[00:00:35] akifdino: hi there, hi gardengnome
[00:00:35] kinection: never really used gedit, vim was the first editor i ever used, which was quickly followed by the first hard reset
[00:00:50] harryman100: Hi, I'm having a problem with mythweb in opera – it refuses to display in anything other than japanese. – however, when I use safari it works fine (displays in english)
[00:01:01] clever[rev]: edit it good for copying and pasting large chunks

[00:22:44] tha_toadman: good evening all
[00:23:15] tha_toadman: my googling came up with nothing...so here i ask...is it possible to xfer shows from one mythtv backend to a newer one
[00:23:29] kinection: so, Cardoe how did you get sound to work?
[00:24:26] Cardoe: There's nothing special
[00:24:30] Cardoe: it's mpeg
[00:24:39] Cardoe: so the sound and the video are in the same stream
[00:24:54] Cardoe: if sound isn't working then maybe your output isn't on
[00:25:07] kinection: i can get sound from playing videos using mplayer... although it's not an mpeg.
[00:25:23] kinection: and well, i'm using v4l right now, analog
[00:27:47] kinection: what do you mean by main mythtv half?
[00:28:00] clever[rev]: mythtv itself
[00:28:04] clever[rev]: with the front/backends
[00:28:12] kinection: oh, yea, it's installed. i can watch analog tv on mythtv
[00:28:15] kinection: just without sound
[00:28:25] clever[rev]: ahh:)
[00:28:26] sigger_: me? its either usr/include or usr/local/include I believe. but I'm just trying to find out how to do it right rather than just git 'er done.
[00:28:45] clever[rev]: one crude way
[00:28:59] clever[rev]: find the gcc line thats failing
[00:29:52] tank-man: kinection, what sound system are you using? alsa or oss?
[00:30:25] kinection: it should be alsa
[00:31:22] tank-man: does any other apps work with sound?
[00:31:54] clever[rev]: in my crude setup i didnt bother trying to get the aud input on my bt848 card working
[00:32:08] clever[rev]: i just added a pci card for the tv in and out and used that
[00:32:29] clever[rev]: could be your audio input thats messed up
[00:32:47] tank-man: is mp3blaster and mplayer using alsa ?
[00:33:58] kinection: tank-man: mplayer "AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s161e (2 bytes per sample)"
[00:34:09] kinection: so yea
[00:35:03] kinection: tank-man: HD-5500 from pcHDTV
[00:35:12] clever[rev]: my dsp is from the onboard audio card
[00:35:19] clever[rev]: and the dsp1 is a pci aud card
[00:35:37] kinection: hmm, i have dsp and dsp1 too... dunno which goes to what
[00:35:54] clever[rev]: -ao alsa:device=hw=ALS4000
[00:36:08] tha_toadman (tha_toadman!n=tha_toad@71-8-232-150.static.krny.ne.charter.com) has left #mythtv-users ()
[00:36:15] clever[rev]: that option for mplayer foces it to use a certain alsa device
[00:36:28] clever[rev]: look in /proc/asound for a list of the devices
[00:36:43] clever[rev]: there the symlinks to cardX
[00:36:55] clever[rev]: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Mar 18 19:36 ALS4000 -> card1
[00:37:02] clever[rev]: dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Mar 18 19:36 card1
[00:37:32] clever[rev]: thats one way to test the 2 alsa devices to see which is which
[00:38:05] clever[rev]: you can also force it to /dev/dsp1 using -ao oss=/dev/dsp1
[00:38:05] sigger_: clever[rev], interesting but it doesn't show me it trying to open the header file.
[00:38:21] kinection: cd hmm, yea. i have one from my tuner and one from my nvidia chipset
[00:38:40] clever[rev]: sigger: you could try adding a -f to the strace
[00:38:43] sigger_: I'm sure its just a matter of me having the wrong dir in Makefile or .pro or something. Just not sure which one to change
[00:38:44] sigger_: ok
[00:38:56] clever[rev]: it will also follow the forks off the gcc
[00:39:00] clever[rev]: catching any prog gcc starts
[00:39:36] sigger_: I get invalid system call with -f
[00:39:50] clever[rev]: -f -e trace=open
[00:40:07] clever[rev]: you might have beenn mixing the optiosn in the wrong order
[00:40:45] sigger_: ya checked man. got that thanks. much data. checking
[00:40:56] clever[rev]: yeah
[00:41:03] clever[rev]: without the -e trace=open you would get TONS more
[00:41:16] clever[rev]: you could maybe 2>logfile
[00:41:32] clever[rev]: the tracing goes out to stderr(2) and redirecting to a log lets you grep the header file out
[00:44:28] spacecoaster (spacecoaster!n=Miranda@c-75-69-133-78.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:46:24] kinection: clever[rev]: alright, got correct sound device now and things are working, although with a high pitched squeal or something in the background
[00:46:47] clever[rev]: i sometimes get a random painfull noise on my sound card
[00:46:55] clever[rev]: muting pcm is a temp fix
[00:47:12] clever[rev]: then i use lsof to track down every program using audio and kill them one by one
[00:47:28] clever[rev]: last time it was esd
[00:47:33] clever[rev]: which is another software mixer
[00:47:49] clever[rev]: im guessing esd crashed and was feeding a single sharp tone to alsa
[00:48:33] kinection: well, it only does that for mythtv though
[00:48:44] clever[rev]: ahh:S
[00:48:52] kinection: i'm going to install mythmusic and stuff
[00:49:00] clever[rev]: i get a low humming on my setup
[00:49:09] clever[rev]: probly 60hz noise getting into my wires
[00:49:34] clever[rev]: when playig back recordings on the laptop which has a better sealed audio system
[00:49:34] spacecoaster (spacecoaster!n=Miranda@c-75-69-133-78.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has quit ("byee")
[00:49:37] clever[rev]: i can hear the noise still
[00:49:48] clever[rev]: which is a sign of that noise being in the input to the recorder
[00:50:12] sigger_: got the prob. it seems to look in /usr/local/include but not /usr/local/include/mythtv. should I be changing .pro or Makefile (or something else)?
[00:50:30] clever[rev]: not shuire
[00:50:33] ** clever[rev] has a look there **
[00:51:03] clever[rev]: what was the error again?
[00:51:27] clever[rev]: the exact msg
[00:51:32] sigger_: 1 sec

[00:55:40] clever: append it to the end and try manualy making the file
[00:55:57] sigger_: it does. I'm now just trying to put it in a place that won't get overwritten when I do qmake or other such

[00:56:19] clever[rev]: thats from my Makefile
[00:56:29] clever: it got cliped but you can see some of the key paths
[00:56:33] wolfspiri1: I get this even after compiling and installing the module for the irblaster as a sending enabled
[00:56:34] sigger_: ya
[00:56:53] clever: wolfspiri1: did you --enable-transmit?
[00:58:05] clever[rev]: i had to compile the module with this line when usig a serial based ir blaster on the 1st serial port
[00:58:07] sigger_: ok, confirmed adding the inc path works. But running qmake will overwrite the whole thing. now I need to find out how to fix it for qmake
[00:58:13] clever[rev]: $ ./configure --with-transmitter --with-driver=serial --with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4
[00:58:23] clever: never used qmake directly before
[00:58:35] clever: and it builds fine when i use just 'make' in the upper folder
[00:58:39] clever: mythplugins
[01:00:43] sigger_: it actually bonked while compiled bookmarkmanager.cpp in mythbrowser
[01:01:09] sigger_: actually the start point for the whole thing is ./configure so I can fix it there.
[01:01:23] sigger_: dunno what to do with that .cpp tho
[01:01:26] atarinox (atarinox!n=atarinox@c-71-58-75-130.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:02:21] atarinox: does anybody know of an estimated base price for building a myth box, assuming i dont have any old components laying around to use?
[01:02:53] clever: i managed to make it for under <50 using leftover parts i had all over the house
[01:02:59] clever: only had to buy a few bits for the ir blaster
[01:03:57] atarinox: and you can encode/watch in realtime?
[01:04:06] clever: bearly
[01:04:08] clever: the card is OLD
[01:04:16] sigger_: clever, you had a lot of leftover parts then ;)
[01:04:19] clever: it needs a ton of cpu power to do both at once
[01:04:28] clever: its a 1.6ghz desktop
[01:04:33] clever: and a framegrabber card
[01:04:47] clever: but im able to stream it to my laptop in realtime and watch there
[01:04:58] clever: needs <700mhz to playback the video

[01:05:18] atarinox: hmmm ok
[01:05:32] atarinox: so im prob looking at 400–500 for the whole system
[01:05:35] clever: the video moves at arround 300kb/sec over my wifi when playing on the laptop
[01:05:55] clever: which is 6 times my dsl upload
[01:06:06] clever: so no way to stream to the laptop over the web
[01:06:14] clever: have to be in the house for it to work:(
[01:06:14] atarinox: yeah
[01:07:24] clever: if you get a better input card
[01:07:30] clever: it will need alot less cpu power to run
[01:07:39] clever: i know some people running multiple cards in 1 box
[01:08:10] atarinox: and did you just install one of the linux distros on your box?
[01:08:23] Mode for #mythtv-users by ChanServ!ChanServ@services. : +v jams
[01:08:24] clever: i put ubuntu on my 1.6ghz a while ago
[01:08:27] clever: when xp crapped out on me
[01:08:36] atarinox: seems like there might be some compatibility issues with all those cards
[01:08:40] clever: then i got bored and shoved a old tv card in it to see if it worked
[01:08:46] clever: my dad claimed it would never work
[01:08:55] clever: drivers where allready installed to begin with:P
[01:09:19] clever: ubuntu seems to keep a small pile of drivers laying arround just incase
[01:09:38] clever: but it took a few days to figure out how to use video input devices on linux
[01:09:40] atarinox: hah yeah
[01:09:49] clever: then i later discovered mythtv
[01:10:14] sigger_: anyone know why I might be getting this compile error in mythplugins? mythbrowser/mythbookmarkmanager/bookmarkmanager.cpp: In member function ‘void BookmarksConfig::setupView()’:

[01:13:04] clever: ./mythconfig.mak:PREFIX=/usr/local
[01:13:04] clever: (END)
[01:13:45] clever: did configure finish without errors?
[01:15:02] chuggs: What happens to all your old .NUV recordings when you upgrade to a newer version of Myth?
[01:15:09] clever: it could be a -D to gcc which defines it
[01:15:15] GreyFoxx: chuggs: Nothing
[01:15:24] clever: chuggs: if the mysql is intact they should be kept
[01:15:25] GreyFoxx: clever: It is passed in via gcc
[01:15:33] wolfspiri1: clever: yes I did the enable-transmit but I used the serial line and it's actually not a serial device.. at least I don't think so.. it may be recognized as a serial device but it's not a serial port
[01:15:39] GreyFoxx: sigger: Did you compile and install mythtv before tryihg to do the plugins ?
[01:16:06] wolfspiri1: it's the IR blaster that comes with the new pvr-150.. it plugs into a port that looks similar to a an audio line ine
[01:16:16] sigger_: GreyFoxx, yes
[01:16:31] sigger_: make && make install

[01:17:17] sigger_: then in mythplugins, ./configure (comes out OK) qmake, make (fails)
[01:17:30] GreyFoxx: you do not need to run qmake
[01:17:34] GreyFoxx: just configure and make
[01:17:38] gardengnome: PREFIX is probably defined in some header..
[01:17:51] GreyFoxx: it is
[01:18:00] banyan: Can someone with mplayer working in fc6 on an i386 platform look to see what repo they got their mplayer, faac, faad2, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-libs packages from?
[01:18:29] sigger_: qmake was per README, but did also try without qmake
[01:18:48] clever: ive never used qmake
[01:18:52] clever: and it works fine for me
[01:19:23] wolfspiri1: banyan: follow these instructions: http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc6-tips.php

[01:21:46] wolfspiri1: fedora in general issed-pay me off
[01:22:19] clever: i just run Xorg and then a few base clients like metacity(window manager) and gnome-panel(to get a few buttons to load more clients)
[01:22:55] clever: dpi also seems to be off when loading manualy causing the windows to look diff a tad
[01:23:17] wolfspiri1: I was thinking that mythtv as it's own window manager/desktop environment would make sense.. never load anything else besides myth
[01:23:42] clever: i can use mythfrontend without even touching a window manager
[01:23:55] clever: but if it starts a child X program the focus is lost on that childs exit
[01:24:04] GreyFoxx: wolfspiri1: Many do that, and it's find as long as you don't run external apps

[01:26:43] banyan: somebody has to basically decide who's maintaining a few of these packages and exclude them from other repos with alternative packagings.

[01:33:17] clever: read it over
[01:33:26] clever: i beleive it spits out a diff of your changes
[01:34:05] sigger_: eh, I saved the new files and just checked out new copy. already done with make install.
[01:34:22] clever: ahh lol
[01:34:40] clever: when i put myth on a second pc(laptop) instead of doing another slow checkout
[01:34:46] clever: i copyed the entire build dir
[01:35:01] clever: then just did svn update/make clean/./configure/make
[01:35:08] sigger_: smart... or perhaps, clever
[01:35:14] clever: :P
[01:35:27] clever: copying over 100mbit is faster then 150kb/sec max dsl

[01:45:02] stevenm: What would cause mythweb to segfault apache ?
[01:45:19] wolfspiri1: beryl with vmware on my work laptop would crash it.. had to turn off the composite manager
[01:45:24] onewheelskyward: oh hey steven.  :) Have you tried out your PHP install?
[01:45:26] clever: JoeyJoeJo: im using my everyday laptop as a frontend also:P
[01:46:24] stevenm: onewheelskyward, hi. let's talk in here
[01:46:37] onewheelskyward: Sounds good.
[01:47:20] stevenm: onewheelskyward, so I emerge everything.. this is mythweb 0.20. Without adding the AllowOverride stuff to httpd.conf, mythweb.php reports an error saying that the database options are not set up
[01:47:40] stevenm: as soon as I paste the options into httpd.conf to AllowOverride All on the mythweb directory, this starts to happen
[01:47:42] onewheelskyward: Oh, that's good. It sounds like PHP is up and running.
[01:48:05] clever: i tryed to install cacti a while ago and it ran down to 0bytes free
[01:48:10] onewheelskyward: What's your platform and how did you install apache, php and mythweb?
[01:48:14] clever: which caused apache's kids to segfault when opening it
[01:48:20] clever: reinstalling cacti fixed it
[01:48:48] clever: cacti is php/rdd/apache based
[01:49:31] stevenm: onewheelskyward, I am on x86 and I used gentoo's emerge to install all three
[01:50:22] onewheelskyward: That's odd, clever. Stevenm, have you installed any other web apps?
[01:50:40] stevenm: onewheelskyward, never have. this is my first time using apache
[01:50:42] clever: im guessing one of the half made php files or related ones was upsetting apache
[01:52:20] clever: can gdb list the open files when viewing a attached program or core?

[01:57:34] stevenm: So what can I do ?
[01:59:58] clever: maybe get a backtrace of apache
[02:00:17] clever: but if apache is using multiple child proc's that can get tricky
[02:00:20] stevenm: How can I do that if it is a child process?
[02:00:29] clever: you could just attach gdb to 1 kid
[02:00:41] clever: then reload mythtv 40 times and start killing the kids off with segfaults
[02:00:44] clever: till you kill the right one
[02:00:47] stevenm: It shows up as this: [Sun Mar 18 21:51:12 2007] [notice] child pid 18710 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[02:00:57] stevenm: Hmm
[02:00:57] clever: yeah by then its too late to attach
[02:01:06] clever: grab a kid
[02:01:08] clever: then start killing kids at random
[02:01:39] clever: as you kill them off the size of the child pool should shrink
[02:01:52] clever: it will probly kill the chosen one after a little luck
[02:02:06] stevenm: ok, I have GDB attached. Reload a bunch of times?
[02:02:08] clever: might also be apache options to fix it but those take a bit of research to find:P
[02:02:12] clever: yeah
[02:02:18] clever: go on a child killing rampage:P
[02:02:23] stevenm: that was quick. 2 reloads

[02:05:57] stevenm: onewheelskyward, thanks.. any special flags I should set, besides the ones that mythweb mentions ?
[02:06:51] onewheelskyward: I know I have some extras due to phpmyadmin, but let me see what's there. It's not a great idea to emerge -av while running a sync . :) Takes forever.
[02:06:54] tale_: I'm trying to determine why mplayer stretches divx files when invoked from mythtv, but when I watch the movie using totem, it looks fine. I don't see this problem in the gossamer-threads.

[02:17:22] clever: id think the compiler and emerge would be binary for any cpu at first:P
[02:17:36] onewheelskyward: distcc is your friend.

[02:17:42] onewheelskyward: clever: fair enough.  :)
[02:18:02] onewheelskyward: Although emerge is just a python sscript.
[02:18:11] clever: i use distcc for mythtv building
[02:18:24] clever: builds using a pair of ubuntu 6.06's
[02:18:30] clever: which both run frontend
[02:18:36] clever: but that reminds me of an old idea
[02:18:45] clever: load up all of your remote frontends

[02:19:32] clever: you could get a wake on lan working on all the frontends
[02:19:46] clever: so you can fire them up on deman remotely for compiling
[02:20:11] GreyFoxx: distcc is handy for sure
[02:20:14] clever: and if they nfs boot from a shared nfs root
[02:20:28] clever: then the compilers will match perfectly between dist hosts

[02:21:34] clever: but only using distcc with 2 hosts
[02:21:43] sigger_: I tried distcc but time skew was botching it. ntpd didn't solve it to my surpirse
[02:21:47] clever: i tryed it once before using just a ubuntu and a redhat9 but it didnt work well
[02:22:04] GreyFoxx: 4 frontends, 1 frontend/backend, 1 slave backend, my firewall, vmware running on my wifes machines, and 2 hosts at my office which I have afast connection to so it's usually not too painful

[02:22:17] clever: 1hour diff:P
[02:22:22] clever: ntp fixed it up
[02:22:37] clever: i was wondering
[02:22:46] clever: if i loadup distcc in vmware on my 2.9ghz xp

[02:23:28] clever: right now im building using a 1.6ghz and a 700mhz/1ghz
[02:23:37] clever: the laptop can underclock to save batery power
[02:23:48] clever: and the niced distcc's dont get counted by the powernowd
[02:24:00] clever: but i can manualy force it to 1ghz when i feel like it
[02:25:15] clever: im also using hamachi vpn(closed source)
[02:25:31] clever: when you init it the first time you generate a uniq pub/private key pair
[02:25:41] clever: and automaticaly reg it and get a static ip assigned to you
[02:25:54] clever: in the 5.0.0.0/8 range
[02:26:13] clever: you can then join virtual networks within the server
[02:26:27] clever: and any1 in the same network as you can fetch your real ip/port
[02:26:57] clever: they can then send encrypted udp packets there which your client will decrypt and inject into the virtual interface
[02:27:30] clever: i beleive it can even forward ethernet based packets over that vpn
[02:28:03] clever: i mostly use the ip for ssh sessions to a box which might be behind a firewall as a unkown ip
[02:28:12] stevenm: Okay.... rebuilt PHP with debug, mythweb "works"
[02:28:21] clever: lol how well?
[02:28:41] stevenm: It looks very plain and confusing
[02:28:44] stevenm: I think I need a theme
[02:28:58] stevenm: I read somewhere something about playing with zlib if the themes dont look right>
[02:29:50] clever: whats odd with the theme?
[02:30:41] stevenm: I don't think there is one. It is just black text on a white background, with blue links.
[02:30:53] clever: lol
[02:30:55] stevenm: It does not look like the screenshots
[02:31:01] stevenm: Maybe it is normal
[02:31:12] onewheelskyward: You probably are missing the theme. Sounds like the CSS isn't there.
[02:31:16] clever: it worked fine for me when i used it
[02:31:43] clever: i just copyed the mythweb fron the mythplugings folder over to www root
[02:32:03] stevenm: Ah ok. As I mouse over seemingly empty areas of the main page, the images at the bottom change.
[02:32:06] clever: and stuck a mod'd mythweb.conf.apache in /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[02:33:01] clever: theres an dir include covering that dir in most distros to let a package plug conf into apache without having to mod and merge into the main conf file which may have custom stuff in it

[02:44:16] high-rez: Any ideas why that might be?

[04:04:34] [R]: i'm so pissed

[04:12:07] cesman: if you are using 0.20 and have an hardware tuner, the recordings should be .mpg
[04:12:48] gr33npho3nix: so if i just change .nuv to .mpg i should just be set

[04:15:11] Cardoe: xris: you know if I can poke the backend with a HUP to make it reopen the log file?
[04:15:18] cesman: that isn't an hardware tuner
[04:15:25] cesman: I had one of those myself
[04:15:26] Cardoe: xris: without interrupting anything
[04:15:36] cesman: it uses the CPU to en/decode
[04:16:02] cesman: so, you recordings are either nupplevideo or rtjpeg
[04:16:13] gr33npho3nix: cesman: damn, so do I have any options besides a new card?
[04:16:35] gr33npho3nix: right they seem to be nupplevideo
[04:16:53] cesman: I don't know
[04:17:29] cesman: I myself don't know of a method to transcode nupple or rtjpeg to mpeg
[04:18:02] cesman: why do you want to transcode to mpeg?
[04:22:50] gr33npho3nix: cesman: my mythtv box is not in the same area I am in ( a number of miles away @ my parents house) and I would like to be able to transfer shows to my computer here to watch them

[04:27:34] gr33npho3nix: no i haven't yet, i don't have a disk drive in the machine
[04:27:35] cesman: or, you can install mythtv at home and simply import the show and .sql...

[04:33:30] gr33npho3nix: i mean once i get going i'm sure i can tweak for optimum size/quality ratio the problem is that all pages i've been finding to talka about converting the .nuv files don't seem to work

[05:56:30] knowledgejunkie: stevenm: you'll prob need to manually checkout that revision from SVN
[05:57:15] stevenm: knowledgejunkie, yeah, i figured.. I need latest mythweb, but my mythtv needs updating. and it's on my college machine and I am away. and i aint updating myth remotely with 2 days left until Lost
[05:57:39] stevenm: can't get the proto versions to match up.. latest mythweb too new, the mythweb i have is too old
[05:57:45] stevenm: need exactly that version
[05:57:53] stevenm: looks like it's man svn for me
[05:58:06] knowledgejunkie: stevenm: how have you gotten out of sync on proto versions?
[05:59:03] stevenm: knowledgejunkie, I use gentoo. their mythweb ebuild is outdated. and my install of mythtv itself is a proto version behind. and i do not want to upgrade the whole mythtv over ssh, since I am not there to test it

[06:02:55] Cardoe: stevenm: where did you get that versioning from?
[06:03:13] Cardoe: stevenm: because Gentoo I know for a fact is not behind.
[06:03:22] Cardoe: Gentoo does not use "trunk"
[06:03:32] Cardoe: Gentoo uses 0.20 and the patches for the stable release.
[06:03:52] stevenm: Cardoe, Ok that explains it, I must have checked out the wrong thing.
[06:04:12] Cardoe: So are you trying to use 0.20
[06:04:14] Cardoe: or trunk?
[06:04:24] stevenm: Cardoe, gentoo latest is 0.20_p13053, but I have 0.20_p12801
[06:04:27] stevenm: I am trying to use 0.20
[06:04:55] Cardoe: I just added 13053 about 3 hrs ago
[06:05:12] Cardoe: Last time MythWeb for 0.20 was updated was 11671
[06:05:33] Cardoe: * www-apps/mythweb
[06:05:33] Cardoe: Latest version available: 0.20_p11671
[06:05:45] Cardoe: Surprise... It's the latest available.
[06:05:48] stevenm: Cardoe, and 11671 is the latest version of it, and gentoo is not behind ?
[06:05:56] Cardoe: No.
[06:06:08] Cardoe: Gentoo is on the newest versions of everything from 0.20
[06:06:14] Cardoe: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/r . . . /mythplugins
[06:06:27] stevenm: Hmmm. Alright. I will try it all again. This time with a different version of php
[06:06:37] Cardoe: what error did you hit?
[06:06:41] stevenm: I've been trying to get mythweb working for the past two days, alwyas with strange errors
[06:06:52] stevenm: Cardoe, I hit a PHP5 segfault.
[06:07:06] Cardoe: sounds like a PHP bug
[06:07:09] Cardoe: which version of PHP?
[06:07:18] stevenm: Cardoe, 5.2.1
[06:07:28] Cardoe: Know how to debug apache?
[06:07:35] stevenm: Cardoe, I have a backtrace.
[06:07:46] stevenm: http://pastebin.ca/401091
[06:08:28] stevenm: Cardoe, besides that, I know nothing about apache or php. At one point mythweb worked, although it looked very plain, weird, nothing like the screenshots (css problem?) but the rest of the times it just crashed PHP
[06:08:59] Cardoe: hasn't been crashing here.
[06:09:00] stevenm: With php4, I now have this: Error at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/includes/init.php, line 114:
[06:09:00] stevenm: main(includes/objects/Database) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory. I guess gentoo didn't autoconfig it or something
[06:09:05] Cardoe: but then again, I'm not running 5.2.1
[06:09:14] stevenm: Cardoe, what do you run? I can try that?
[06:09:20] Cardoe: 5.1.6
[06:09:39] stevenm: Cardoe, will it work with php4, or do I NEED 5?
[06:09:48] PointyPumper: any new on a windows front end? :/
[06:09:53] Cardoe: 5.1.6-r6
[06:10:05] stevenm: Cardoe, excellent, I will emerge that now.
[06:10:27] stevenm: I am glad that the people in here do not want to murder me for mentioning gentoo, unlike other places
[06:10:31] Cardoe: stevenm: did you use webapp-config?
[06:10:39] Cardoe: stevenm: well they do...
[06:10:44] Cardoe: I just happen to be the Gentoo maintainer

[06:14:49] xris: stevenm: mythweb should work fine for php 4.3+
[06:15:10] Cardoe: Provided some proof of exploitability and their answer was "congrats... you have CVS commit access.. you're not a maintainer"
[06:15:29] stevenm: hahaha
[06:15:37] Cardoe: s/not/now/
[06:15:51] xris: Cardoe: now I know where to go when I find bugs.
[06:16:12] stevenm: Cardoe, well, 5.1.6 should be built soon

[06:17:33] hads: It's revived my interest in webdev
[06:17:38] xris: the official solution is to code a call to that function in the object destructors.
[06:17:54] stevenm: xris, nah that wasn't what I got.. mine actually segfaulted php
[06:18:02] xris: stevenm: different issue.
[06:18:06] stevenm: yep
[06:18:21] xris: that particular one has just been a pain since the php docs say it started in php 5.0.5, but there are people running 5.2 and later that still don't see it.
[06:21:24] Cardoe: xris: because they are either using persistent connections

[06:22:24] xris: Cardoe: huh?
[06:22:52] xris: has nothing to do with persistent connections
[06:23:03] xris: php would destroy the db object even with persistent connections.

[06:57:07] xris: streaming the video straight to the browser is kind of stupid.
[06:57:21] stevenm: xris, wow. Would the backend stream it in some flv-format?
[06:57:35] xris: currently there's a perl script thatpipes through ffmpeg.

[07:00:52] stevenm: aah
[07:01:01] knowledgejunkie: xris: or me :)
[07:01:26] stevenm: well what about projects involving HD stuff? another commercial skipper? auto-transcoding to xvid? or something
[07:02:06] stevenm: if anything, google would be interested in a web based player... they're all about the web apps
[07:02:49] onewheelskyward: That's pretty much what Youtube already is.
[07:03:03] xris: stevenm: we had a lot of bad luck with the projects last year. people weren't all that interested in trying again.

[09:36:09] gardengnome: you need to implement that in a theme

[09:36:41] juski: you know the problem with xxx-wide though?
[09:36:46] gardengnome: actually, a theme containing watermarks showing fabio could improve WAF a lot.
[09:36:47] tj239: what's recommended for that 2/2 section 'use custom identifier' or 'use wake on lan'
[09:36:54] juski: finding copyright free images for it ;)
[09:36:58] gardengnome: tj239: if you don't know what it is, you don't need it

[09:55:54] tj239: http://pastebin.ca/401386
[09:55:59] hads: But it really depends on the currency I guess.
[09:56:09] perlmonkey: phew
[09:56:14] perlmonkey: mine has no remote control tho
[09:56:23] tj239: pardon the typo earlier : con't=don't
[09:57:11] perlmonkey: tj239: do you think it's a good card, does it work well?
[09:57:50] tj239: my video card? PNY GeForce 7600 GS 512meg AGP
[09:58:07] tj239: got it on sale in January
[09:58:25] perlmonkey: oh sorry
[09:58:29] perlmonkey: that was meant for hads

[10:02:54] perlmonkey: Dagmar: is it? I wasn't sure what to get but it seemed to be recommended on the mythtv howto
[10:02:58] juski: I paid £37 for my pvr150 MCE OEM (no remmote)
[10:02:59] Dagmar: Realistically a 5200 is about as far as one need go for Myth
[10:03:06] perlmonkey: its brand new, but oem white box, no remote
[10:03:12] tj239: I've only got one Mythtv entry in my Gnome panel menu under sound/video, and it is apparently only for setup cause it closes after 2/2 config. I've been waiting to see if that GUI would come up but it's not showing.
[10:03:14] juski: perlmonkey: where from?!
[10:03:22] Dagmar: Yeah, well, another way of putting that coudl be "anything but an ATI card"  ;)
[10:03:32] perlmonkey: juski: off ebay, theres a seller who has several listed
[10:03:42] juski: Dagmar: what, even a 3dfx something? ;)
[10:03:53] Dagmar: Hell, *probably*
[10:04:00] Dagmar: At least those have an X driver that doesn't suck
[10:04:09] jduggan_: i paid 60quid for my 150, but it had remote ir receiver/blaster
[10:04:15] jduggan_: so worth it imo
[10:04:26] perlmonkey: i guess the remote would be useful
[10:04:41] juski: perlmonkey: could you pm me the seller details please?
[10:04:50] perlmonkey: juski: no probs
[10:06:06] perlmonkey: juski: did you get that?
[10:06:37] juski: yeah ta :)
[10:06:50] perlmonkey: :-) some of the cards have been going for LESS than what i paid
[10:06:57] perlmonkey: his stock is running out
[10:07:11] juski: that's how I got all my tuners bar one
[10:07:40] perlmonkey: I saw another selling offering the remote and IR receiver separate for £20, is that good deal?
[10:07:46] juski: yup
[10:07:49] perlmonkey: cool
[10:08:29] perlmonkey: I decided to finally get my mythtv project finished and replace my (very ancient) BT848 card
[10:08:35] juski: heheh someone called gbee is bidding on one of them cards
[10:08:47] perlmonkey: hehe
[10:09:13] perlmonkey: there is a PVR 350 closing soon in the next hour or so

[10:09:55] Dagmar: Try adding cheese to your heatsink
[10:10:08] Dagmar: It's why they have all those slots on them
[10:10:13] perlmonkey: is the 350 superior to PVR 150?
[10:10:30] juski: perlmonkey: no
[10:10:35] perlmonkey: oh
[10:11:06] juski: you don't need the hardware decoder of the pvr350 – and besides it offers more disadvantages than it has advantages for mythtv users these days

[10:11:59] perlmonkey: I got some vcr cassettes i need to digitize onto DVD to save on postage as im sending them overseas to a friend, do you think the PVR 150 will be up to it? my PC is only a P3–733/256 hence the need for hw-capable card
[10:12:09] perlmonkey: oh right
[10:12:11] juski: no digital audio out, doesn't support hardware decoding of transcoded material, no support for divx/xvid/etc, no opengl
[10:12:17] hads: Hmm, I think a LiveTV group in the recordings screen like the new Watch List group would be useful.

[10:13:29] juski: !trout whiney users
[10:13:29] ** MythLogBot slaps whiney with a users trout on behalf of juski... **
[10:13:32] perlmonkey: whats up with tj239
[10:14:18] hads: Dagmar: Yeah, I mean having the LiveTV in a group rather than mixed in with all the others, sort of like the new Watch List group.
[10:14:31] Dagmar: I just uploaded alacarte, so I should be able to move a bit more quickly through Desktop
[10:14:35] Dagmar: bleh wrong channel
[10:15:06] juski: hads: you can make your own groups based on custom regex IIRC
[10:15:29] hads: juski: Interesting.
[10:16:21] hads: I've just setup our second backend and I'm trying to make it less confusing for my wife to find and watch what is being watched as livetv on the other FE.
[10:16:47] hads: Changing the group filter seems a bit fiddly.
[10:16:55] juski: change your wife
[10:16:57] juski: :-P
[10:17:01] Dagmar: It likes to slaughter the client for me
[10:17:18] hads: juski: I'm quite happy with this model thanks :)
[10:17:18] Dagmar: I even managed to find a temporal existentialism crash in the build I have that's similar
[10:17:31] Dagmar: Try to watch a program that aired in the past and *b0rk* hard crash
[10:19:41] juski: herschky berschky boo, herrr ferrrrdy boooshdeee boooo... bork bork bork!
[10:22:21] hads: Na, the regex thing won't work. I think it'd need to be a setting similar to the Watch List thing.

[10:40:03] hads: For those that use the functionality to watch LiveTV recordings it may be useful.
[10:40:13] juski: dunno how the watch list works, not being an svn user
[10:41:27] juski: could be handy for me
[10:41:38] hads: I'm finding it very useful.
[10:41:56] juski: actually something I'd be looking for is a 'last watched' field for mythvideo
[10:42:15] hads: Having that category there gave me the idea that a LiveTV category might work too.
[10:42:31] juski: got a load of tv series I've transcoded for later watching, and finding it hard to keep track of what's watched & what isn't
[10:43:37] hads: Yeah, ditto that. I've ben thinking about a watched field and Play From... (Beginning|Bookmark) menu for mythvideo ala the watch recordings functionality.
[10:44:07] juski: heh sounds more like moving mythtv & mythvideo together, that one
[10:44:21] juski: perish the thought.. I mean a converged media solution ;)
[10:44:47] hads: :) I guess, I can just see me using those two particular features
[10:45:04] juski: it'd make more sense to me to be honest

[10:45:22] hads: converging you mean?

[10:46:13] juski: nah get em out in the open

[10:48:06] hads: I did consider that viewpoint too for the record.
[10:49:27] hads: I have loads of series in mythvideo which we watch just like the recordings and it would seem to make sense to have a more converged interface.

[11:30:26] Dagmar: That would be just asking for trouble like we have seen the last few nights.

[12:45:11] juski: text not fitting? too big? too small?
[12:45:14] juski: what?
[12:45:33] clever[rev]: i have a php on my site which autoreloads and would fix it but i cant access the site even for some reason
[12:45:51] serfrs: wonder why my father-in-laws issmalle nough to get the whole description, yet the Guide font size for me can sometimes barely fit the name of the show.. heaven forbid its only a 30 min showing
[12:46:06] serfrs: damn spacebar  :)
[12:46:19] juski: maybe you don't have a 100 DPI desktop
[12:46:28] juski: maybe you don't have the same fonts installed
[12:46:33] juski: maybe you're not using the same theme
[12:46:56] serfrs: well, the guide seems to use the same theme... it never changes regardless what theme i pick
[12:47:03] juski: maybe he selected a different font size
[12:47:18] serfrs: actually I set it up for him... looked that way rotb
[12:47:31] juski: you specify global UI font sizes in the appearance setup menus within mythfrontend
[12:47:43] serfrs: ok.. was there
[12:47:51] juski: you can specify OSD fonts & sizes in the TV playback menu
[12:47:54] serfrs: the section with small-medium-large
[12:47:57] juski: *setup menu
[12:47:59] juski: yeah
[12:48:05] juski: it's not rocket science
[12:48:14] juski: plus you should make sure your X is 100DPI
[12:48:20] juski: with xdpyinfo |grep dots
[12:48:21] serfrs: all that did was mess with the osd sizes... at least the medium option did
[12:48:35] juski: if it's not 100, your font sizes will be all over the place
[12:48:38] serfrs: thx for helping juski  :)
[12:48:59] juski: the OSD font size is controlled from the tv p[layback settings menu not the appearance menu
[12:49:17] juski: at least that's how I remember it works
[12:53:30] serfrs: juski, now is the guide display handled by the frontend, or backend?
[12:54:48] serfrs: yikes, its only 75x75
[12:54:55] serfrs: on the FE
[12:55:08] clever[rev]: i heard it works better on 100x100
[12:56:36] serfrs: how to change it?
[12:56:47] clever[rev]: somewhere in xorg.conf
[12:56:50] serfrs: gotcha
[12:56:55] serfrs: will take a look
[12:58:39] serfrs: well, it seems as if I have 2 font selections
[12:58:50] serfrs: one for 100dpi, and another for 75dpi
[12:59:06] clever[rev]: i think the dpi affects how large the fonts are
[12:59:26] serfrs: hmmmmm

[16:15:28] Dagmar: vaineh: Have you given some thought to what that would entail?
[16:15:40] vaineh: not really :)
[16:15:59] Dagmar: I'm not sure one can realistically operate more than four PVR recordings at once
[16:16:16] Dagmar: PCI only has so much it will tolerate going on on the BUS
[16:16:19] vaineh: ok
[16:16:58] Dagmar: In theory you could max out a box with four PVR-500's, giving you eight tuners total, but I think it would probably crash hard if you lit them all up at one time
[16:18:22] Dagmar: Remember that whatever comes out of the card counts double across the PCI bus because it's then repeated to the disk, which is generally going to involve it going back _through_ the PCI bus
[16:19:20] Dagmar: As it stands, some people have to increase the PCI latency allowable to the IDE controller because two tuners at once make things too laggy for the system to tolerate, and it results in various malfunctions
[16:19:58] Dagmar: Disk corruption, hard lockups, socialism.
[16:23:13] Merlin83b: Beirdo is our lots of tuners champion.
[16:23:20] Dagmar: Yep
[16:23:23] Dagmar: He would be the man to ask

[19:31:02] eskil: Zider, actually not the worst of choices if you can deal with randomised play all the time and can't use upnp.
[19:31:25] sigger: PeterC: ampache
[19:31:41] Zider: eskil: randomised..?
[19:31:49] PeterC: What about slimserver?
[19:32:03] sigger: IMHO slimserver has a crummy UI
[19:32:38] eskil: Zider, In that you can't control what's being played from the client, although the server might have some web ui for doing so.
[19:32:45] amishgeek: hello, i'm currently planning on how to get mythTV set up and I'd like some input / advice on how to structure this distributed install. I'd like to have a recording/capture machine, a central myth storage server, and then use my xbox with XBMCMythTV as my frontend on my television
[19:32:57] Zider: eskil: doesn't mean it's random
[19:33:15] sigger: the amish use computers?
[19:33:32] amishgeek: my storage server is an IBM Netfinity 5500 with attached 10drive scsi array with 10x 18gb scsi drives raid 5 (~160gb storage)
[19:33:44] amishgeek: pardon me, i'm an oxymoron :)
[19:34:16] eskil: Zider, nope, just that it's unlike upnp, the client probably cannot control what's being played.
[19:34:53] Zider: eskil: ah no, I don't think it works like that.. (don't see what upnp has to do with it tho)
[19:35:04] amishgeek: then having multiple capture boxes recording to the myth server, storing on the NAS
[19:35:12] KaZeR: hey there. anyone here using uPNP with his(her?) mythtv?
[19:35:27] amishgeek: is what I'm thinking about feasible?
[19:36:05] KaZeR: amishgeek, http://freenas.sf.net ?
[19:36:14] amishgeek: yeah
[19:37:00] KaZeR: looks great. i'm thinking of building one too. only drawback i see is maybe network speed when recording, i wonder if it would'nt impact the recordings.
[19:37:04] eskil: Zider, shoutcast is just a way of streaming, it does not specify how the server decides what to stream, it really only adds metadata and throttling. upnp specifies browsing of a catalogue, selecting what to stream and all that fancy stuff.
[19:37:32] PeterC: sigger: Will ampache work from WMP?
[19:39:34] sigger: It will accept WMP as a client to which it sends music. WMP can also do basic transport controls (prev/next/pause). To control your playlist you use a webbrowser.
[19:39:58] sigger: er, control your playlist, meaning pick songs, browse your music, manage playlists, etc.
[19:40:15] eskil: sigger, yes, many servers have a web UI.
[19:40:50] amishgeek: mythTV has an audio library feature right?
[19:41:17] sigger: eskil:yep amishgeek: yep mythmusic
[19:41:36] amishgeek: does it support WMP DRM content? I would assume no
[19:44:17] juski: nobody should support WMP DRM content. period
[19:45:32] PeterC: sigger: Too bad there is no deb packages with ampache.
[19:45:37] amishgeek: well, i have real rhapsody, and I can download the files, and play them in windows media player, or winamp, as long as the DRM key is updated each month. i'm just wondering if mythmusic would play those files as well
[19:46:02] sigger: PeterC: you don't really need it. Its written in php. Very easy to install.
[19:46:19] melunko: Hello there, mythtv-setup does not show all the xmltv grab options, any idea?

[20:43:36] Dagmar: The FCC didn't much care for cable companies having both "on demand" services, AND "pvr-capable" boxes
[20:43:41] juski: aye well I just don't see that ever being possible on a linux box
[20:43:47] Dagmar: It was looking like a lock on content presentation that would be bad for consumers
[20:43:49] juski: not an *open* source linux box
[20:44:00] Cyberai: well juski, if we did it with wireless cards via emulation, why couldn't we write something similar for cable cards?
[20:44:05] Dagmar: I don't think the FCC will swallow the bullshit that COngress did that allowed CSS to take root
[20:44:18] Dagmar: They're a _little_ more technically inclined than that over there
[20:44:36] Dagmar: But I am still a pessimist about it
[20:44:41] juski: we'll see in the fullness of time no doubt
[20:44:56] Dagmar: We need those crazies in Sweden to open the market for us.  :)
[20:44:57] Cyberai: I'm no legal expert, but it seems a clean room reverse engineering of how to read the card would be legal
[20:45:14] Dagmar: Cyberai: This is why they get all excited about the DMCA when it comes to CSS and playing DVDs
[20:45:17] Cyberai: since your still paying for the content, just not using their box.
[20:45:41] Dagmar: Technically, for you to watch a dvd under Linux is illegal as hell if it's encrypted, even if you bought it
[20:45:50] Cyberai: true tru
[20:45:52] Cyberai: true
[20:45:56] Dagmar: You may have paid for it, but your *player* isn't *licenced*

[20:47:46] bill__: it was off the myth wiki
[20:48:19] bill__: that's what i've been following so far, and have understood everything except for the reason for using xfs
[20:48:20] Cyberai: considering how DRm music is bombing, it seems like in time the same will happen to video etc
[20:48:58] Cyberai: I know almost all of teh movie studios are planning to allow you to buy movies for like $5 and download them and they wont have DRM on them
[20:49:11] bill__: really?
[20:49:14] Cyberai: yep

[20:49:41] Cyberai: I read a bit about it on /. a few months ago
[20:51:12] Cyberai: seems they commissioned a study that showed that no matter how they DRM'd it, that within 24 hours of digital release the movie would be on P2P nets without DRM. So selling it with vs without DRM gives them exactly the same market and revenue.
[20:51:41] Dagmar: ...and people would buy the hell out of it if it were easy and cheap
[20:51:42] Cyberai: I'm hoping once that idea sinks in, that the whole DRM argument will go away
[20:51:47] Cyberai: exactly
[20:51:49] Dagmar: VOngo and those other guys have pretty much shown that

[20:53:48] Cyberai: exactly
[20:54:05] Cyberai: Did you see Walmart is moving in on it. Seems there stuff isn't DRM'd.
