[00:00:28] tzanger: is there a way to assign a remote button to a "fast forward 30 seconds" button?
[00:00:39] hads: Right?
[00:00:43] kormoc: tzanger, set the button to arrow right?
[00:01:01] tzanger: I know to do assign buttons in lircd.conf, but is there a key that will cause a frontend to jump ahead?

[00:01:16] ** kormoc blinks at tzanger **
[00:01:22] hads: erm. right arrow?
[00:01:33] kormoc: the thing pointing that way -->
[00:01:39] tzanger: hads that's fast forward, not FF 30 seconds
[00:01:43] aarcane_ (aarcane_!n=Christ@69.62.232.46) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:01:49] kormoc: not on my box
[00:01:49] hads: Ah, sticky keys.
[00:02:08] overpointe: So far, my grocery list includes a possible StreamZap (or some inexpesive remote with a usb ir), RAM, and a better tuner card.
[00:02:15] tzanger: kormoc: hmm, okay I will have to tinker a little
[00:02:15] hads: Turn off sticky keys.
[00:02:53] kormoc: I have FF on my remote mapped to FF and with sticky keys disabled, right arrow is 30 sec jump forward
[00:03:11] hads: Yeah, ^^ what he said.
[00:04:02] overpointe: Has anyone heard of adding more hard drive space through USB or firewire and it worked?
[00:04:43] kormoc: overpointe, why wouldn't it?
[00:06:13] overpointe: I fear that I'll barely have enough space just to get mythdora set up.
[00:06:28] voltagex: janneg: http://www.pastebin.ca/478083 this is what dvbsnoop gave
[00:06:30] overpointe: I only have a 10 gig hard drive at my disposal for now.
[00:07:15] kormoc: overpointe, and how will you merge the drives together?
[00:08:36] overpointe: I don't know. Maybe I can put my 2 gb flash drive to use, kormoc.
[00:09:34] kormoc: overpointe, you might have issues with drive speed, depening on how slow the drives are, and given typically it's 1.2 gigs per hour of tv, 2gb seems rather small
[00:11:11] overpointe: I
[00:11:39] overpointe: I'm just trying to get everything to work now. I'll end up having to sacrifice another drive, I'm sure.
[00:12:00] overpointe: Life can be hard sometimes.
[00:12:18] voltagex: kormoc: 1.5gb/hr here
[00:12:38] hads: That's what the typically specifier was for.
[00:12:51] tzanger: hmm, KEY_RIGHT maps to Right
[00:13:02] tzanger: but that maps to fwd 3x... fwd 5x.. etc
[00:13:15] hads: 10:02:15 < hads> Turn off sticky keys.

[00:25:47] hadees: can anyone recommend a good camera to use with mythphone? I am looking for something that obviously works with linux but also won't look odd sitting around or on my HDTV
[00:32:25] MaverickTech: morning all
[00:38:13] Sid`: what sort of capture card?
[00:38:22] voltagex: I need help getting a GPIO IR/RF receiver (not sure what kind) working
[00:38:27] GreyFoxx: Well if you have an IVTV card you can just type "cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg" when you hit play
[00:38:32] GreyFoxx: then CTRL-C when the show ends
[00:41:14] voltagex: /j #linux
[00:41:16] voltagex: oops
[00:41:43] MaverickTech: voltagex: I have had no joy whatever trying to compile lirc_gpio
[00:41:53] voltagex: MaverickTech: :(
[00:41:58] MaverickTech: not found a package with it in either
[00:42:11] voltagex: :'(
[00:42:15] voltagex: bad!
[00:42:18] MaverickTech: my remote device works, not visible in lirc
[00:42:25] voltagex: I don't want another remote
[00:42:43] MaverickTech: voltagex: doesn't mean it can't be compiled, just I've not gopt it to work
[00:43:03] voltagex: MaverickTech: you have a gpio remote?
[00:43:40] MaverickTech: I have a remote on LeadTek card (DTV1000-T) my research indicates gpio module is the go
[00:43:47] MaverickTech: I am happy to hear otherwise
[00:43:49] voltagex: I have an AverTV card, I can't actually find its remote device
[00:44:04] voltagex: well if I could find a gpio scanner
[00:44:27] MaverickTech: I currently use a cheapo USB IR remote – but the key mapping is aweful, only about 1/2 the buttons are able to be mapped
[00:45:02] Sid`: MaverickTech: which remote is that? I've got the same problem with mine
[00:45:10] Sid`: which came with a Twinhan tuner
[00:45:42] voltagex: apparently SAA7133 cards all use the same kind of remote
[00:45:44] voltagex: any ideas?
[00:46:07] MaverickTech: Winfast Y04G0004
[00:46:20] MaverickTech: plugs into the back of the tuner card
[00:48:12] voltagex: mine plugs into an SVideo looking port, goes to a dongle, then the remote receiver plugs into a 3.5" jack
[00:48:20] voltagex: needs proprietry software in Windows :(
[00:50:14] voltagex: oh gawd – http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Remo . . . O_remotes.29

[03:07:36] JoeyJoeJo: well yea
[03:08:09] JoeyJoeJo: but why does it happen?
[03:08:31] kormoc: JoeyJoeJo, cause the audio can't be written to the buffer fast enough?

[03:35:31] RasQulec: my friend is having trouble getting the database password to work [the mythbackend.log file complains about it] and the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file is correct and the database has the correct password set is there anything else that could be stopping it?
[03:36:41] Anduin: RasQulec: other mysql.txt files that could be found (and have conflicting information)
[03:37:03] JoeyJoeJo: RasQulec: try the mysql.txt in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:37:37] RasQulec: it doesnt exist
[03:37:44] RasQulec: on his comp but it does on mine
[03:38:24] JoeyJoeJo: hmm.. then I'd try copying /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt to ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:38:28] RasQulec: okay
[03:39:46] RasQulec: when I restart the backend and check the log it still says access denied but I can do mysql -u mythtv -p and it logs in with the correct password
[03:39:51] RasQulec: the same one as in mysql.txt

[03:43:43] RasQulec: I restarted mysql and it dropped all the WOL errors
[03:43:56] JoeyJoeJo: is localhost the name of your computer?
[03:44:01] RasQulec: no
[03:44:10] RasQulec: should it be changed to 127.0.0.1?
[03:44:15] RasQulec: or whatever the real name is
[03:44:39] JoeyJoeJo: It should probably be changed to one of those. I'm not sure which will work. They both might work
[03:45:38] riddlebox: man mythtv takes forever to compile!
[03:45:40] Anduin: RasQulec: Your mysql.txt is using localhost?
[03:45:55] JoeyJoeJo: riddlebox: it takes me about 30 minutes
[03:46:05] JoeyJoeJo: how long for you?
[03:46:22] riddlebox: its been at least that, on a 2.8 ghz with 1gig of ram!
[03:46:23] Anduin: apparently with a much better computer compiling it is very reasonable
[03:46:31] RasQulec: it wsa but now its 127.0.0.1
[03:46:42] RasQulec: and it is having the original error again even after restarting mysql
[03:47:21] riddlebox: Anduin, I usually use the ubuntu packages, but I am using a 3 monitor setup and need to disable xrandr to get it to work
[03:47:24] JoeyJoeJo: riddlebox: I've got an sempron or opteron (can't remember which) 300+ and 1gig
[03:47:43] RasQulec: changed it to the actual name of the comp and it cant connect to the server at all aain
[03:47:57] RasQulec: my comp works with localhost
[03:48:08] RasQulec: and I think I did all the same things to his comp I must have just missed ONE step
[03:48:36] riddlebox: RasQulec, are you having problems getting a remote frontend to work?
[03:48:42] Anduin: RasQulec: actual name is going to depend on mysql binding on the external interface (which it may not do by default)
[03:48:45] RasQulec: it is supposed to be a local one
[03:49:11] RasQulec: how can I check what that is?
[03:49:57] Anduin: RasQulec: netstat, but really, localhost should work fine
[03:50:19] RasQulec: it should but I still am getting errors trying to star the backend, its the same one I posted to pastebin
[03:50:24] Anduin: RasQulec: (or looking at my.cnf or whatever config file mysql is using)
[03:50:36] riddlebox: Anduin, whats that pastebin?
[03:50:53] Anduin: riddlebox: huh?

[03:52:51] RasQulec: 7.04
[03:52:57] riddlebox: oohh sorry :)
[03:53:13] riddlebox: RasQulec, did you just apt-get install mythtv?
[03:53:20] RasQulec: hm okay I set bind-address back to what it was [he accedentaly changed it though he was supposed to skip that step before]
[03:53:24] RasQulec: that is how it was installed
[03:53:32] riddlebox: because you have to install mysql-server as well
[03:53:38] RasQulec: it is installed
[03:53:44] RasQulec: I can run mysql and login that way
[03:53:49] RasQulec: and mysql-administrator works too
[03:53:59] Anduin: RasQulec: mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg works right?
[03:54:10] riddlebox: yeah thats what I was going to ask
[03:54:56] Anduin: He said it worked, don't know if it was to the actual DB though
[03:55:02] RasQulec: yes
[03:55:20] riddlebox: so you are using the autogenerated password then?
[03:55:23] RasQulec: yes
[03:55:32] RasQulec: the one in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[03:56:40] riddlebox: try this

[04:15:05] RasQulec: its not in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt

[04:15:46] riddlebox: ok do this, in a console updatedb
[04:15:49] ds-work: bummer, I'm trying to get it set up to do analog but mythtv has thus far refused to keep it in analog mode or whatnot and I get a screen full of modulation errors :P

[04:19:55] riddlebox: you can always change it with that pastbin I gave you to make sure it is the old one
[04:20:23] RasQulec: hm interesting the log seems to indicate its running since I changed THAT mysql.txt from 127.stuff to localhost
[04:20:43] RasQulec: not shure why stuff was supposed to be easier to type then 0.0.1
[04:21:18] riddlebox: RasQulec, can you log into mysql?

[04:29:45] z_: should i be concerned about upgrading my ubuntu mythtv backend to 7.04?

[04:58:35] RasQulec: not anymore
[04:59:04] Anduin: RasQulec: Yes, because you've overwritten it with your musqldump
[04:59:29] Anduin: (and I'm not sure that is they way you package has it anyway)
[04:59:55] riddlebox: Anduin, he reinstalled the database package, it autogenerates a mythtv password for him
[05:00:03] Anduin: RasQulec: That could be used to create the db though, it is likely the most the Ubuntu package does is change the password.
[05:00:08] riddlebox: RasQulec, you have to redo the password again
[05:00:52] Anduin: I just thought we saw that not work

[05:06:10] RasQulec: in the log
[05:06:13] RasQulec: and it quites
[05:06:15] RasQulec: quits
[05:06:42] riddlebox: feel like compiling mythtv?
[05:06:53] RasQulec: no
[05:06:56] RasQulec: its not that
[05:06:58] riddlebox: haha
[05:07:09] RasQulec: I know it isnt because I have the same software setup and have gotten it to work
[05:07:34] riddlebox: RasQulec, I have the same software too, and mine works as well
[05:07:44] RasQulec: how about dropping the database like someone else said and forcing it to redo that
[05:08:02] riddlebox: you can drop the database
[05:09:56] RasQulec: reconfiguring mythtv common redoes the db stuff
[05:10:15] riddlebox: RasQulec, you can even apt-get remove mythtv the apt-get autoremove
[05:11:09] riddlebox: RasQulec, you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common as well
[05:13:07] RasQulec: I am going to completly remove mythtv ):
[05:13:11] RasQulec: on his comp
[05:13:48] riddlebox: yeah, what I usually do is apt-get it then after I set it up then I change the mysql password, even though it shouldnt matter
[05:16:51] riddlebox: RasQulec, good luck
[05:17:00] RasQulec: thanks
[05:17:21] riddlebox: I will be around for awhile, if you need any help

[08:43:03] hads: (IMHO)
[08:43:16] juski: it already IS IMHO
[08:43:17] gardengnome: true, but some branches need to be merged back into trunk. and a lot of testing needs to be done

[12:51:28] gbee: I'm trying to debug a problem with my parents myth box but gdm insists on starting (and then dying) which is preventing me from getting anything done
[12:52:15] gardengnome: try "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" ?
[12:52:52] gbee: stops gdm, but it restarts a minute later
[12:53:35] gbee: problem is, if I even let gdm start it changes the screen res to one my monitor can't support, so I'm effectively unable to read the screen and do anything further
[12:54:22] gbee: let me try stopping cron, seems the most obvious thing to try
[12:54:29] gbee: nope ... that didn't do it
[12:54:42] gardengnome: chmod -x `which gdm`?
[12:54:56] gardengnome: echo "die, stupid script scum"
[12:55:03] gbee: ;)
[12:55:26] gardengnome: i love how this main board tends to freeze during the initilisation of the raid controller.

[12:57:05] ** gbee downloads the 32bit version of Mandriva 2007 **
[12:57:26] gardengnome: heh
[12:57:40] gbee: just need to get this box running for a few minutes so I can backup the database
[12:58:54] gardengnome: just use ssh?
[13:01:17] gbee: can't networking isn't coming up, which as best I can tell is the reason that gdm is failing!?!
[13:01:33] gardengnome: awesome :(
[13:02:19] gardengnome: well, have you tried "chmod -x /usr/sbin/gdm"?
[13:11:37] j-rod: people still use mandriva?
[13:11:38] ** j-rod ducks **
[13:12:09] gardengnome: gbee: agreed.
[13:12:42] gardengnome: Dibblah: the typical power consumption of am2 and s939 cpus seems to be the same, though. 65W
[13:13:09] Dibblah: That's ratings.
[13:13:25] gardengnome: true.
[13:14:23] gbee: j-rod: yeah and I don't care who knows it ;) I really like it :D
[13:14:26] gardengnome: hum, and intel box would be too expensive
[13:15:21] juski: somebody has to stand up & fight against the 'linux of the month' rush :)
[13:15:28] j-rod: heh
[13:15:58] gardengnome: i've installed svn on my "linux of the month" and it's workign – except that the box is hanging at POST. i blame itt on the devs
[13:16:16] j-rod: gardengnome: the myth devs, of course, right?
[13:16:25] juski: you're wrong
[13:16:28] juski: it's MY fault
[13:16:32] gardengnome: j-rod: of course. who else could have caused that?
[13:16:48] j-rod: gardengnome: apparently, it was one of juski's themes that corrupted your boot sector
[13:16:54] juski: you installed one or more of my themes & it's fucked your bios
[13:17:12] j-rod: ah yes, my mistake, bios, not boot sector
[13:17:13] gbee: I'd give the latest ubuntu or Fedora a go, although in this case I want to put something I'm familiar with on this machine – as I'm going to be admining it remotely it's just easier that way
[13:17:57] j-rod: gbee: yeah, stick with whatcha know, esp. in that case
[13:18:34] gbee: this isn't my machine so it's not the one I want to start experimenting with
[13:19:49] j-rod: dear iwl3945: suck less

[13:47:00] juski: wouldn't worry too much about it. it'll never work

[14:09:38] gbee: juski: thanks for the offer, they have free postage though don't they? i.e. they would be no benefit to going in person?
[14:10:05] gbee: oh apparently not
[14:10:41] Zeroth|work: Is there some basic system hardware requirements for mythtv?
[14:10:45] gbee: hmm, even Scan is a few pounds more ignoring postage, I might as well just bite the bullet and get this one off ebay
[14:10:46] Zeroth|work: I couldn't locate any on the website
[14:11:52] gbee: Zeroth|work: the basic hardware requirements are pretty low, low enough that these days you can almost not worry about them unless you're planning on using an old Celly 500 you found down the back of a sofa
[14:12:17] Zeroth|work: well, how about a celeron 400mhz with 128mb ram? :-/
[14:12:32] Zider: ew :P
[14:12:35] Zeroth|work: heh
[14:13:00] Merlin83b: Depending on the graphics card, it should be fine :)
[14:13:07] Zeroth|work: also ... is it really possible to fast-forward shows on /cable/?
[14:13:12] Zeroth|work: interesting
[14:13:29] Merlin83b: Zeroth|work: Yes, but clearly not past the point that's currently being broadcast.
[14:13:36] Merlin83b: It's not a time travelling machine, after all.
[14:13:39] Zeroth|work: how much is broadcast, generally
[14:13:40] Zeroth|work: ?
[14:14:37] gbee:
[14:15:05] Merlin83b: Zeroth|work: Um, if you watch a show without a PVR, you're watching the broadcast point. YOu can't go ahead of that.
[14:15:40] Zeroth|work: and a PVR is ... ?
[14:16:09] Pryon: Zeroth|work: The way it works, whatever you're recording is written to disk. What you're watching (via mythtv) is being decoded from the disk and displayed. If it's not on the disk yet, it can't be manipulated.
[14:16:39] juski: so mythtv is a TIME MACHINE?! WOOOT!
[14:16:48] Merlin83b: Personaly Video Recorder – MythTV, Tivo etc.
[14:16:49] quicksilver: Merlin83b: how much does it cost to upgrade to the time travel machine version?
[14:17:01] Merlin83b: quicksilver: £100,000, bank transfer to me.
[14:17:30] gbee:
[14:18:14] Zeroth|work: Merlin83b, so with MythTV, I can fast forward my cable how far?
[14:18:57] gbee: Zeroth|work: not beyond 'Live' but if you pause or rewind then you can fast-forward again to that point
[14:19:00] Merlin83b: Zeroth|work: As far as is currently being broadcast. You can't travel into the future! (unless you pay me lots of money, then I'll promise whatever you like)
[14:19:25] Zeroth|work: well, Tivo can fast forward live cable, can't it?
[14:19:33] gbee: Zeroth|work: no
[14:19:35] Zeroth|work: heh
[14:19:40] Merlin83b: Up to the live broadcast point, same as mythtv
[14:19:49] Zeroth|work: so MythTV is just a Tivo for PC, eh?
[14:19:52] Merlin83b: But only if you're watching something that was broadcast before now.
[14:19:57] Merlin83b: Zeroth|work: That and a lot more.
[14:20:06] Merlin83b: But yes, if it helps, it's much the same as tivo.
[14:20:07] Zeroth|work: well, looks like I'll have to spend some time with it :-)
[14:20:09] Dibblah: Actually, about 1 second behind in most cases.
[14:20:19] Dibblah: For both.
[14:20:25] Merlin83b: Don't confuse matter, Dibblah :P
[14:20:35] Zeroth|work: uh, to get the cable into the PC, I suppose I need some sort of adapter
[14:20:46] Zeroth|work: IR Blaster is expensive
[14:20:49] Pryon: Speaking of features not found in tivo, is there a way to get mytharchive to not assume the DVD-R in the drive is 2X?
[14:20:54] Zeroth|work: expensive for my budget, anyway

[14:22:50] Pryon: Zeroth|work: Save your tivo money for 3 months.
[14:23:31] Zeroth|work: my cousin had this ATI card which allowed you to plug the Cable directly into it and watch it on your PC...should that suffice?

[14:25:26] Pryon: Some ATI cards work, others don't.
[14:26:01] Pryon: You can get a tuner card from hauppauge which comes with (what I assume is) an irblaster.
[14:26:53] Pryon: Yup. the wintv-pvr 150 comes with a blaster
[14:28:53] Zeroth|work: looks pricey
[14:29:23] Zeroth|work: supported by linux, as well?
[14:29:40] Merlin83b: Pricey? Hardly.
[14:29:54] ** TSCHAKWerk uses a combination of a Hauppauge PVR-USB2 and a Motorola DCT-6200 cable box hooked up via Firewire. **
[14:29:59] Merlin83b: Knowing the UK prices, I'm going to take a guess at $60 US.
[14:30:05] Pryon: Like I said. Save your tivo money for a few months
[14:30:25] Zeroth|work: I don't have tivo ;-)
[14:30:42] TSCHAKWerk: Buy.com has a good price on a pvr-150 and a 500
[14:32:10] Zeroth|work: supported by linux, as well?
[14:32:23] Pryon: i'm using on linux right now
[14:32:28] Pryon: two of them, actually

[14:34:20] Zeroth|work: so for 70 bucks and an old rig, I could have MythTV.
[14:34:21] Zeroth|work: kinky
[14:35:30] TSCHAKWerk: even new hardware is cheap these days
[14:35:39] gbee:
[14:36:09] Zeroth|work: I've got a spare radeon laying around
[14:36:11] Zeroth|work: wtf is it called
[14:36:20] Zeroth|work: the number
[14:36:28] Zeroth|work: sheesh, been too happy with nvidia I guess
[14:37:05] Merlin83b: gbee: Yeah, I was going for the fact that most things are cheaper than the straight £->$ conversion over there :)
[14:38:38] gbee: aye
[14:39:25] gbee: for a moment I thought you were in the US, and quoting the likely UK price :p
[14:40:50] Zeroth|work: how much space does the video consume? a lot?
[14:41:03] Zeroth|work: compressed in mpeg2, or whatever is preferred

[14:41:43] Zeroth|work: thats nice
[14:41:47] gbee: Zeroth|work: that might give you 5 hours of video
[14:41:50] TSCHAKWerk: Zeroth|work: it depends on the data rate, I record at 6Mbps typically, which gives me about 2.74GB an hour
[14:41:54] gbee: but probably not
[14:42:15] TSCHAKWerk: and when you can get 500 gigs of space for about $100
[14:42:26] TSCHAKWerk: there is no excuse for not having space
[14:42:39] Zeroth|work: except not having $100

[14:48:01] Zeroth|work: uptime is silly
[14:48:14] GreyFoxx: uptime is the pride of the young admin
[14:48:14] Zeroth|work: I leave my server on for months, reboot it, and don't even bother to check the uptime
[14:48:25] Zeroth|work: and young I am

[14:48:57] gbee: aw, no-one has immortalized my IRC wit

[14:49:56] gbee: my all-time favourite IRC comment dates back to around 2000, but I'd probably hash it up if I tried to repeat it
[14:50:37] Zeroth|work: hmm... MythTV on a Sharp Zaurus PDA ......
[14:50:58] TSCHAKWerk: hahaha
[14:51:13] TSCHAKWerk: MythTV and LinuxMCE living together in harmony
[14:51:41] ** juski runs away **
[14:51:57] juski: AFAIC, linuxmce doesn't exist
[14:52:31] The_Ball_: juski, i think i read something about a distro called that
[14:52:46] The_Ball_: i think it was a distro with myth on it
[14:52:48] TSCHAKWerk: it's another media center solution, it uses MythTV, but it controls a bit more.
[14:52:56] gbee: hmm, even my favourite one didn't get logged somewhere – which is a shame although unsuprising given that it was a small channel
[14:53:20] TSCHAKWerk: The_Ball_: not quire correct.
[14:53:53] TSCHAKWerk: The_Ball_: it's a comprehensive media center solution that includs mythtv yes, but it controls quite a bit more... its setup is _very_ involved.
[14:54:02] TSCHAKWerk: and that's putting it mildly
[14:54:19] TSCHAKWerk: the codebase is new enough to still be 50 miles over the edge.
[14:54:26] juski: the video's really good for insomniacs though
[14:54:41] gbee: LinuxMCE is a full home control package using bits of Pluto (X11) to turn on/off lights etc and yes, it use mythtv for the media part
[14:55:10] TSCHAKWerk: it has pretty much all of the Pluto stack, minus the DRM bits.
[14:55:19] TSCHAKWerk: at least from what i've seen between the two.

[14:56:10] Zeroth|work: is there any real difference between the wintv-pvr 150 and 350?
[14:56:12] TSCHAKWerk: and yeah, that video, while it's pretty amazing, the guy doing the voiceover should never ever ever ever ever ever ever talk ever again
[14:56:20] TSCHAKWerk: Zeroth|work: don't bother with the 350
[14:56:22] juski: Zeroth|work: plenty
[14:56:25] The_Ball_: the problem is _some_.. if I turn a heater off I want to be sure my house won't burn down
[14:56:36] juski: the pvr350 has an obsoleted mpeg2 decoder onboard
[14:56:42] TSCHAKWerk: Zeroth|work: the 350 has an mpeg decoder on the card, which funnels to a TV out.. but trust me... you don't want it.
[14:56:57] gbee: Zeroth|work: yes but the major difference, a hardware mpeg2 decoder, doesn't work very well
[14:57:10] Zeroth|work: heh
[14:57:16] Zeroth|work: yay for cheaper stuff
[14:57:20] TSCHAKWerk: shoving the OSD onto the pvr-350 output is....painful
[14:57:36] ** juski slides in the mention that none of the mythtv devs use a pvr350 any longer, apparently, so when it gets broken in the code... **
[14:57:41] tzanger: I had a pvr350
[14:58:09] TSCHAKWerk: juski: oh trust me, some poor schmuck will complain.
[14:58:13] juski: can you spell deprecated?
[14:58:29] TSCHAKWerk: yah, I can sign it too :-P

[15:16:11] SpaceBass: hey folks
[15:16:20] SpaceBass: is there such thing as a cablecard HD capture device?
[15:16:31] SpaceBass: Ive been searching around but cannot find a clear solution
[15:16:33] juski: SpaceBass: not fer linux there aint
[15:16:51] GreyFoxx: Closest thing is a cablecard HD settop box with firewire output that you can record from
[15:16:57] SpaceBass: trying to determine if I can move to a provider that will allow me to legally capture HD
[15:17:22] SpaceBass: GreyFoxx, ahhh that sounds like a viable option too...just wondering if anyone around me supports that
[15:17:25] ** SpaceBass has directTV now **
[15:17:37] gbee: right, before I overwrite things, is there anything else I should remember to backup?
[15:19:15] Z_Morek: wasn't there some hd recording device on digg a couple weeks ago?
[15:19:25] Z_Morek: you can use it to stream over the network or something?
[15:19:56] SpaceBass: thats my hope
[15:20:18] Z_Morek: it was pretty inexpensive too... lets see if I can "dig" it up HAHHAHA

[15:20:27] SpaceBass: I'd like to build a central myth server with an OTA tuner and some way to capture HD from a provider...then have clients on each TV
[15:20:46] janneg: GreyFoxx: I doubt that such a STB will give you access to the encrypted channels
[15:21:22] janneg: otherwise it's nothing else than the more than ten years old DVB CI/CAM model
[15:21:45] janneg: and the industry has changed a lot in the last years
[15:22:02] gbee: juski: come on! I'm relying on you to tell me what to do! :p
[15:22:19] Z_Morek: SpaceBass, http://servers.linux.com/servers/07/04/18/153 . . . 7&tid=39
[15:22:30] SpaceBass: thanks!
[15:22:54] Z_Morek: on first glance I think it's a headless box

[15:23:18] GreyFoxx: Locally you can record every single channel include the encrypted HD ones via the firewire out on the HDTV stb's
[15:23:21] SpaceBass: now clear how that captures HD though
[15:23:52] SpaceBass: I'm already doing something similar...got mac minis on each TV that use VLC to stream from a central file server
[15:29:20] a5benwillis: Hopefully someone can give me a simple answer to this. I just built a serial IR receiver per the plans on lirc website. I have lircinstalledon ubuntu. Is there anything else that I need to do or will it be detected automatically? I know that I still need to configure lirc for the remote etc...
[15:29:24] Z_Morek: SpaceBass, it apparently just works like any external tuner
[15:29:35] SpaceBass: so only OTA
[15:29:47] SpaceBass: or unencrypted
[15:30:16] Z_Morek: SpaceBass, my knowledge of HD is very limited...
[15:30:25] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: basically, yes.
[15:30:56] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: if your device isn't part of the CableCard or your TV provider cartel, you're most likely shit out of luck.
[15:31:21] Ruleke: a5benwillis: select the correct type for lirc
[15:31:22] SpaceBass: TSCHAKWerk, that was my original question...is there a way to use a cablecard with myth for HD
[15:31:29] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: no
[15:31:34] SpaceBass: bummer
[15:31:44] Ruleke: man am I glad I live here... dvb-C qam goodness
[15:31:47] SpaceBass: sounds like I'm sticking with DirectTV for a while
[15:32:02] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: and there will never be, cablecard specs are very stringent on not providing an unencrypted digital copy of video.
[15:32:12] a5benwillis: Ruleke: So maybe I should install lirc from source as apposed to apt-get?
[15:32:16] Ruleke: with normal CAM

[15:32:46] a5benwillis: k, thanks
[15:32:46] Ruleke: or just load the correct module
[15:33:03] Ruleke: lirc_serial or so
[15:33:13] Ruleke: forgot, should be decently explained ont he page somwhere
[15:33:16] Ruleke: gtg
[15:33:32] Ryushin: Does directv make a box that will allow it to backfeed the rest of your house using QAM? I do not want to have 4 directv boxes for just my mythbox alone.
[15:33:39] monotonous: hi guys :)
[15:33:45] Ruleke (Ruleke!n=roelt@mule.trantor.org.uk) has left #mythtv-users ()
[15:33:51] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: and even decryption via satellite is not possible, because satellite recievers also honor the broadcast flag in the US.
[15:34:02] monotonous: my frontend is connecting really slow since my update to 0.20 – do you know sthg about that?
[15:34:49] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: so the firewire port is dark most of the time, unless you are tuned to local channels (which are by law required to be available in unencrypted form and can never have the NO COPY flags set.)
[15:34:57] SpaceBass: TSCHAKWerk, yep... which means myth and HD are basically dead in the US
[15:35:25] juski: SpaceBass: MCE lover
[15:35:31] SpaceBass: not at all
[15:35:40] ** SpaceBass owns no MS boxen **
[15:35:41] TSCHAKWerk: SpaceBass: eh, I still use it, the OTA is good enough for now.. there is NOTHING preventing some clever guy from building a component video capture device.
[15:35:44] GreyFoxx: It really depends on your provider
[15:35:57] juski: if there's anybody to blame for the situation it's the consumer as much as anyone
[15:36:17] SpaceBass: dont get me wrong...this pains me... but without things like HBO, etc (which are of value to me) then I cannot justify moving away from the provided hardware

[15:37:22] TSCHAKWerk: juski: not in my area, the broadcast flags never change from NO COPY for me.
[15:38:44] gbee: juski: cheers, it doesn't hurt to double check – the number of times I've forgot to backup something when reformatting isn't funny
[15:38:45] juski: nah I thought I'd heard something about 5C going dodo-wise altogether
[15:38:56] kslater: would be nice
[15:39:10] kslater: the HD capture scene other than OTA is a sad tale in the States
[15:39:11] TSCHAKWerk: us geeks need a lobbying interest here in the US with money behind it :-P
[15:39:26] juski: yeah well stop sitting on your fat asses doing nothing :)
[15:40:11] TSCHAKWerk: and apparently, from what experiments i have been doing, if you don't provide so much as a DTCP handshake, nothing at all gets sent down the pipe when 5C is on.
[15:40:21] kslater: there's the whole I want it all for free mentality that's going on.
[15:40:42] TSCHAKWerk: kslater: honestly, if I could pay more for the privilege of using my own hardware, I would.
[15:41:02] TSCHAKWerk: I have NO problem with capitalism, I have a problem with monopolism.
[15:41:15] juski: if all it took for providers to sit up & take notice was to abstain, you still wouldn't do it
[15:42:03] TSCHAKWerk: i've written to my congressmen on various issues, and i've come to the conclusion that those letters never get past their assistants.
[15:42:05] juski: and you all knew the broadcast flag was only the thin end of the wedge.. yet...
[15:42:21] kslater: juski – true and true

[15:43:38] Z_Morek: if it could be considered ddos to have people spam call the phone lines
[15:43:55] TSCHAKWerk: yeah, that's the irony, it would.

[15:58:58] Z_Morek: juski, pretty much
[15:59:37] Z_Morek: digg and all that social bookmarking web2.0, p2p, and streaming video have essentially brought mass media in the hands of the masses
[16:01:17] Z_Morek: you no longer need to get published in print to get read, just get enough "friends" to digg your story, put some pretty pictures in (it appeases the web trolling crowds)... bam your wordpress goes down faster than bush's approval rating
[16:01:46] Z_Morek: and your idea is out of the bag
[16:02:01] Merlin83b: But the bandwidth still has to be paid for.
[16:02:22] Z_Morek: until someone sets up some huge ad-hoc
[16:02:55] Z_Morek: with some method of bandwidth sharing so it doesn't turn into communist breadlines
[16:03:35] Z_Morek: well... actually it probably would turn into communist breadlines... everyone's waiting in line to download some new thing
[16:03:35] Merlin83b: There are still some ridiculous distances to cover before that'll really work, though.
[16:03:42] Z_Morek: yeah
[16:03:48] Merlin83b: It could work where people are in wifi or wimax or whatever range.
[16:04:01] Merlin83b: But an ad hoc mesh is a nice dream :)
[16:04:04] Z_Morek: especially the deadzones of the midwest and every ocean
[16:04:18] Merlin83b: I was thinking more of oceans, but yeah there are plenty of examples.
[16:04:33] Z_Morek: ever look at cell phone coverage charts of the midwest
[16:04:43] Merlin83b: No, since I'm in the UK.
[16:04:49] Z_Morek: :-P
[16:05:34] Z_Morek: well, iirc there's some huge areas of nothingness and some sort of ad-hoc mesh would definitely have issues of bottlenecking
[16:05:46] Merlin83b: That would depend on the routing protocol.
[16:06:14] Z_Morek: if people are trying to get info from say.... london to LA... I'm sure there'd be some bottle necks along the way
[16:06:20] Z_Morek: a scarcity of nodes
[16:07:13] Z_Morek: whether it's over "the pond" or the midwest
[16:08:09] Z_Morek: in any case
[16:08:11] Z_Morek: it's a nice dream
[16:08:28] Merlin83b: Yep – meshes work in smaller areas, but to get data elsewhere, transit is needed and companies have had to pay to build that transit.

[16:58:44] Anduin: a5benwillis: look at the context
[16:59:25] a5benwillis: Anduin: Im reading through yesterdays log now.
[16:59:47] Dagmar: a5benwillis: we had genuine trolls in here yesterday
[17:00:22] a5benwillis: I understand.
[17:00:35] Dagmar: a5benwillis: Track back to when those two guys were first talking and it'll stand out
[17:00:48] a5benwillis: I'll keep searching.

[17:12:17] a5benwillis: Well, I foloowing the guide that he tried. Lets see if I have better luck.
[17:12:52] juski: a5benwillis: he got all the help he needed with setting up lirc. then he just got silly ;) folks really don't enjoy being made to look stupid no matter how little help they needed ;)
[17:12:56] a5benwillis: I sit here all day at work dealing with dumb people supporting 6500 workstations and 15000 users. This couldnt be that much worse.

[17:17:17] a5benwillis: juski: You're not human
[17:17:24] juski: email sent to our network guys. stupid MS DHCP server giving out addresses more than once
[17:17:44] a5benwillis: juski: You're some angry bot sitting at a computer somewherein the world.
[17:17:53] juski: lol
[17:18:00] juski: I'll take that as a compliment
[17:18:10] a5benwillis: it was.
[17:18:28] a5benwillis: kind of... "P
[17:18:39] juski: so er.. yeah stupidity makes me angry.. so angry infact it's er.. stupid
[17:18:43] a5benwillis: takes forever to download a new kernel... argh
[17:19:22] a5benwillis: um yeah, I would think so
[17:19:45] a5benwillis: how does the dhcp server give out two addresses? Maybe they set a second one up by mistake lol
[17:19:48] TSCHAKWerk: "Hey, who keeps taking my packets?!"
[17:19:55] juski: last time i told the IT guys about the same problem they just said "that shouldn't happen"
[17:19:56] a5benwillis: Of they cleared the ip database
[17:20:01] TSCHAKWerk: "Gee there are a lot of arp collisions."
[17:20:03] juski: like DUH!
[17:20:53] a5benwillis: well no wonder its slow... Were using 19mb of our 20mb connection LOL
[17:21:02] TSCHAKWerk: M$ software is notorious for missing the little details in the RFC's.
[17:21:31] TSCHAKWerk: "You mean our proxy server is supposed to ALLOW addresses that have a dot on the end of them?!"
[17:24:19] juski: I'd honestly have thought that giving an IP address out over DHCP twice was as big a nono as it gets
[17:24:49] juski: pretty much a 'networking 101' error IMHO
[17:24:51] a5benwillis: juski: Yeah, it is
[17:24:59] juski: not what I'd expect from ANY DHCP server
[17:25:04] a5benwillis: shit happens though, but twice?
[17:25:08] TSCHAKWerk: juski: well the irony is... Microsoft DESIGNED DHCP.
[17:25:17] juski: oh this has happened plenty times
[17:25:39] juski: only this time I bothered to get evidence with ethereal :)
[17:25:50] TSCHAKWerk: (it was proposed as an extension to BOOTP by microsoft in 1993.)
[17:25:53] a5benwillis: I doubt that its happening for no reason. I've never seen MS dhcp do that unless someone didnt know what they were doing.
[17:26:34] juski: ah so it might be a problem with the requests from certain machines, you mean?
[17:26:40] a5benwillis: Ah much better, added this test machine to the packet filter to get more bandwidth.... and done!

[17:35:46] directhex: any wild guesses why since moving to SVN, mythvideo shows a full folder path in gallery view rather than just the bits that matter (i.e. i've told it that /data/Media/Video/ is my video root, but when entering mythvideo it shows "data" instead of the contents of /data/Media/Video/)
[17:35:54] xris: GhostFreeman: I have a bunch of emails to respond to from people wanting to help, too.
[17:36:17] GhostFreeman: how many of them do you think have actual talent (be honest now)
[17:36:20] xris: haven't even gotten a chance to tell them to join the mailing list.
[17:36:23] xris: no clue.
[17:36:33] GhostFreeman: maybe you should do it through a front page post
[17:36:39] xris: directhex: if I recall, there's an issue if you don't/have a trailing / on the path

[17:38:43] tha_toadman: I've already removed mythweather from my machine (via apt-get) but it still exists in the mythweb interface
[17:38:43] hugolp: juski: so are they going to use mythtv as a base or are they going to do something diferent?
[17:38:55] juski: hugolp: why else would they call it mythbuntu
[17:38:57] juski: ???
[17:39:06] tha_toadman: can i just go into that directory and rm -rf the 'weather' folder
[17:39:17] hugolp: ok jusky thanks for the answer and your usual british sarcasm
[17:40:32] TSCHAKWerk: that was sarcasm?
[17:40:57] a5benwillis: tha_toadman: I think that mythweb looks at the database to see if mythweb is configured to decide wheter to display the weather icon.
[17:41:33] tha_toadman: a5benwillis: so removing it is NOT a good idea i take it
[17:41:53] a5benwillis: you just have some more cleanup to do since you just deleted the files
[17:42:07] a5benwillis: but, Im no expert
[17:42:23] tha_toadman: what cleanup would that be? i haven't removed that directory yet
[17:43:20] a5benwillis: ' I've already removed mythweather from my machine'
[17:43:29] a5benwillis: that confused me a bit.
[17:43:43] tha_toadman: apt-get remove mythweather ;-)
[17:44:06] a5benwillis: try looking in the datbase for mythweather configuration data
[17:44:59] tha_toadman: will do
[17:45:13] juski: select value, data, hostname from settings where value like "%weather%";
[17:45:23] a5benwillis: tha_toadman: manually delete /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythweather
[17:46:11] a5benwillis: aswell
[17:47:24] Anduin: tha_toadman: Looks like it looks in the settings table for something with a 'value' == "locale"
[17:47:46] juski: locale & units actually
[17:47:52] a5benwillis: Anduin: Thats what I wouldve thought but couldnt confirm it
[17:47:53] Anduin: (uninstalling a plugin doesn't touch the DB)
[17:48:17] juski: SIunits maybe.. 1 or 0
[17:48:55] tha_toadman: a5benwillis: i don't have that directory
[17:49:09] Anduin: I don't see it depending on units, but this is the first time I've looked.
[17:49:35] juski: oh _depending_ on units.. I was just pointing out there's a units setting ;)
[17:49:42] ** juski apologises **
[17:50:04] tha_toadman: i have a folder under /var/www/mythweb/ that says 'weather' but i don't have anything under /usr/local/share for myth
[17:50:19] a5benwillis: I think it looks for the locale to be set.. clear that and it should dissapear
[17:50:34] tha_toadman: and sadly enough my 'phpmyadmin' isn't working now either – lol

[19:11:25] Dagmar: a5benwillis: wot's wrong?
[19:11:34] a5benwillis: I have lircinstalled
[19:11:45] a5benwillis: I have the serial adapter pluggedin
[19:12:10] a5benwillis: when I test using mode2 itcouldnt find /dev/lirc but I had /dev/lirc0
[19:12:26] a5benwillis: so I simlinked to it... dnno if thats bad or not but it loaded mode2
[19:12:35] a5benwillis: I get nothing from testing the buttons
[19:13:17] fryfrog: doesn't sound like the lirc modules are loaded up
[19:13:35] a5benwillis: I loaded them, in fact I can rmmod them because they are in use
[19:13:41] stuarta: why did i think lirc was an irc client...
[19:13:43] fryfrog: oh, nm you are right
[19:13:47] a5benwillis: lirc_serial and lirc_dev
[19:13:48] Dagmar: The /dev/lirc0 can be considerd to be an enumerated (numbered) version of /dev/lirc, so that was fine
[19:13:57] fryfrog: so point mode2 at /dev/lirc0?

[19:15:26] Dagmar: a5benwillis: Okay, well, assuming for the moment that you assembled it correctly, here's the "shortlist"
[19:15:40] directhex: i helped with lirc yesterday. today i'm sleepy
[19:16:10] Dagmar: 1. The serial driver module can/will f**k you up. Just in case it's done this, run `setserial /dev/ttyS? uart none` where /dev/ttyS? is yer serial port to make the serial driver "let go" of the thing
[19:16:16] a5benwillis: mode to -d lirc0 says resource busy. Let me restart
[19:16:29] Dagmar: 2. Add softcarrier=1 as a module option for lirc_serial
[19:16:46] directhex: http://outflux.net/software/pkgs/mythtvfs-fuse/ looks sorta cool
[19:17:10] Dagmar: 3. Go get serialwatch or anything that will show you the status of the serial port lines in realtime and watch it when you plug it in as well as when you're pointing your remote at it
[19:17:38] a5benwillis: ok, I like#3
[19:17:52] Dagmar: ...and add debug=1 to both modules options in /etc/modules.conf
[19:18:01] Dagmar: That helped me quite a bit when I started
[19:18:22] a5benwillis: Dagmar: Thaks, I'll work through that listright now.
[19:18:50] Dagmar: Imma go shoppin' for some stuff. Good luck
[19:20:27] a5benwillis: serialwatch.py?

[19:37:54] stuarta: use restart then, there's and old pidfile lying around i'd guess
[19:38:08] stuarta: cause the backend certainly aint running

[19:56:36] directhex: stuarta, or there's some host-based auth issue
[19:57:04] stuarta: directhex: yeah, but i doubt we are talking much of a complicated setup..
[19:57:08] directhex: stuarta, debian used to only allow connections to a permitted IP, for example
[19:57:13] zabin: cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[19:57:28] zabin: then mysql -u mythtv -p
[19:57:37] stuarta: they used to only allow local sockets, not even listen on localhost

[19:58:17] directhex: how on earth does one break mythtv on ubuntu 7.04? O_o
[19:58:28] zabin: lol idk
[19:58:54] stuarta: the old "umbongo installer changes the mythtv user DB passwd regardless" problem

[20:33:16] Janneman_ (Janneman_!n=janoonk@89.98.230.80) has quit ()
[20:33:47] Dagmar: Well, failing everything else, a reinstall probably won't _hurt_, but neither will it help avoiding making the same mistake this time since we don't know what went wrong
[20:33:59] RasQulec: we tried that twice :P
[20:34:17] RasQulec: I had problems when I followed the ubuntu wiki's instructions also on the same software
[20:35:00] Dagmar: Juski did an install pretty much ignoring the wiki, and just blindly following what it was saying as he installed I think
[20:35:03] juski: I had no problems when I didn't follow any docs whatsoever with the feisty packages
[20:35:18] Dagmar: COuld be the wiki is steering you in the wrong direction somehow
[20:35:22] juski: I did however pay attention to the helpful popup messages
[20:35:57] directhex: the advice on the ubuntu wiki and forums is generally poor, full of "compile this with --prefix=/usr" rubbish
[20:36:47] zabin: `what document did you guys use to sey mythtv up for your self?
[20:36:56] juski: I didn't
[20:37:18] Dagmar: I actually used the original install docs, but I also drew on a rather comprehensive knowledge of just "how s**t works" at the same time
[20:37:52] zabin: lol
[20:38:11] stuarta: juski: wonder if jono's going to hit us up again at LRL to see if we want to become ubuntu's mythtv packaging gods? :)
[20:38:21] RasQulec: I deviated from the isntructions a bit as well when I got to the gui stuff
[20:38:46] juski: oh wait yes I _did_ use docs – I think I did a job of reading between the lines of both the official docs & the gentoo wiki (I was using gentoo bck then)
[20:38:57] juski: stuarta: lol. out of the question
[20:39:14] stuarta: i'm just interested to see if he tries

[20:41:37] juski: stuarta: in so much as I stepped in & gave my honest opinions of areas I thought needed improvement & how to improve them.. I'm not gonna take any credit for the end results though
[20:41:50] stuarta: fairy snuff
[20:42:24] RasQulec: which team?

[21:02:47] Dagmar: Yeah what we need is for everyone to migrate over to using bluetooth remotes and have that route throught dbus
[21:02:55] RasQulec: lirc is so annoying surly there is a better way to do remotes ):
[21:02:55] Dagmar: It would be slightly less complex.
[21:03:05] Dagmar: _Slightly_
[21:03:11] RasQulec: I saw something about xorg handling some remotes
[21:03:28] directhex: if only Dagmar were kidding
[21:03:40] Dagmar: RasQulec: Yes, it's called "links to various ecommerce sites showing people a small subset of supported hardware"
[21:03:51] RasQulec: hm
[21:03:52] Dagmar: Directhex is right. I'm not joking.
[21:04:00] directhex: i know you're not
[21:04:07] Dagmar: The problem is mainly the wide assortment of crazy-ass hardware
[21:04:10] ** directhex waves his as-yet not working bluetooth remote at Dagmar **
[21:05:10] Dagmar: But most of you would (rightly) run screaming from dbus
[21:05:14] directhex: uinput is the key to something nice, IMHO. move as much as possible into userland, and rely on nice agnostic evdev signals for button presses
[21:05:21] tzanger: I kind of like dbus
[21:05:32] directhex: tzanger, feel like writing a driver for my remote? :p
[21:05:38] Dagmar: ...and then change the interface without warning between major kernel revisions so everything shatters violently.
[21:05:41] tzanger: heh, I didn't say I was any good at it
[21:05:52] directhex: Dagmar, the way it doesn't when lirc doesn't build on $currentkernel ?
[21:06:03] Dagmar: directhex: It's more sinister than that
[21:06:04] RasQulec: I have used uinput on my g15 keyboard, it does seem nice
[21:06:20] Dagmar: uinput doesn't say *jack* to you about it when you send it a structure that doesn't match what it expects.
[21:06:49] directhex: i still want a driver. how many thousands of man-hours have been spent with the bloody nintendo wii wand?
[21:07:05] Dagmar: Not enough yet
[21:07:17] Dagmar: ...although it would be kinda cool to flick between channels
[21:07:24] juski: directhex: yeh but.. how many of those man-hours have been spent waving it, not coding fer it? :-P
[21:07:44] directhex: juski, i don't care! i want a ps3 remote driver, that the wii remote lot could have done in their lunch hour!
[21:08:01] RasQulec: wiiimote
[21:08:58] directhex: the wiimote is a pointing device. wake me when myth has a point-based ui instead of button-based
[21:09:41] juski: directhex: oh wait 10 mins let me just convert all the code..
[21:10:02] juski: there! done it
[21:10:11] juski: damn. doesn't work. ach well...
[21:10:25] directhex: juski, i'm happy with button-based, but need support for my remote. i took a look at some of the wiimote drivers, and drowned in complex 3d positioning code
[21:10:27] juski: that reminds me. I've totally broken mythmusic's buttons
[21:10:47] Dagmar: Well, with a little glue you can make a nice mosaic now
[21:11:06] juski: directhex: just make more of mythtv's UI mouse friendly, then er.. job done?
[21:11:35] juski: I really like the look of the wii point & select UI
[21:11:46] juski: myth could adapt to that rather well IMHO
[21:12:03] directhex: juski, other than the wii, how many "consumer" devices use a pointer-based ui?
[21:12:14] opello: nintendo DS?
[21:12:15] juski: directhex: who cares?
[21:12:24] opello: the light gun from the nes?

I have a rather complex (or home anyway) myth setup (2 backends, 4 tuners and multiple front ends) The server however is a bit underpowered to be streaming to frontends and commflagging. Is it possible to schedule commflagging on the backends between the hours of 2am and 8am or something like that?
[21:27:56] stuarta: i'm sure that's in the documentation somewhere...
[21:28:01] juski: mtnbkr-laptop: yeah. in mythtv-setup you can limit the times jobs run between
[21:29:12] mtnbkr-laptop: oh ok... So on each back end I should do that then or does the master backend control that schedule for all (I am guessing #2) :)
[21:31:10] mtnbkr-laptop: hmmm dagnabbit... mythtv-setup is segfaulting. Now I have a project on my hands. lol Thanks juski for the reply. I;ll get mythtv-setup working and look for that option.

[22:23:46] Ryushin: vol: I only have about 200 GB of videos. I have about 1.4 TB of shows right now.
[22:24:13] juski: rokstar: lol no
[22:24:23] Ryushin: Vol. I would sort you videos into folders, A, B, C, etc.
[22:24:49] rokstar: any common answers to no audio on a dvd i burned
[22:24:57] hound: maybe you don't have enough system memory and it's over using your swap partition.
[22:25:11] vol: the videos are sorted, i keep having to change the base folder it looks for to one with a smaller number of vidoes, but this is annoying to change every time
[22:25:41] Ryushin: rokstar: Using mytharchive, has a lot of dependencies. I would go through those list of dependencies to make sure you have everything.
[22:26:09] Ryushin: vol: Are you on SVN or stable?
[22:26:12] rokstar: Ryushin: i'm fairly certain thats not it because the intro movie has audio
[22:26:28] rokstar: Ryushin: the AUDIO_TS directory seems to be empy
[22:27:11] Ryushin: rokstar: Well, it still can bit. The intro movie was already encoded correctly. You material has to be converted. A missing library could change all that.
[22:27:27] juski: rokstar: audio_ts isn't for video dvds
[22:28:10] juski: rokstar: audio gets encoded into the final mpeg video in video_ts

[22:42:51] hugolp: anyway I read today that the European Union has allowed Great Britain to keep your weird way of measuring things

[22:43:12] vol: GreyFoxx: theyre all local, theirs about 800gb of video mostly movies and shows
[22:43:13] juski: hugolp: that's just the kind of jingoist comment that can start a war
[22:43:17] directhex: hugolp, i've never used imperial measurements in my life. except for miles

[22:50:35] hugolp: Zeroth404: are you trying to speak about mythtv?
[22:50:37] directhex: Zeroth404, you use some kind of IR sensor
[22:50:37] juski: Zeroth404: for any remote control you need a receiver of some kind.
[22:50:41] Zeroth404: clicker, remote, changer, whatever you folk call it
[22:51:02] juski: Zeroth404: I use a home made IR receiver that plugs into a serial port
[22:51:08] Zeroth404: I'm speaking of a remote control for MythTV
[22:51:17] juski: others use USB ones, others use remotes that come with their tuner cards
[22:51:21] Zeroth404: juski: hmm...expensive to make?
[22:51:32] juski: Zeroth404: not at all
[22:51:36] hugolp: Zeroth404: its actually cheap
[22:51:44] Zeroth404: I've got this freebie ATI TV card thing (I hope it'll work)

[22:53:13] Zeroth404: programmable by MythTV, or what? I'll be using Linux.
[22:53:52] juski: Zeroth404: with mythtv, you're using linux by association :)

[23:18:45] zabin: it works when i run this though irw
[23:18:47] phil___: zabin: did you follow instructoins on myth wiki
[23:18:58] Zeroth404: zabin: what remote you got?
[23:19:02] zabin: yes when i run this irw
[23:19:02] gbee: it's probably the case that ubuntu or even the newest Fedora releases equal or even better Mandriva, but I'm never trying debian again after the pain it's caused me (not just in setup, but in several other areas too)
[23:19:14] zabin: it gets the buttons i press from the remote and they show up on the screen
[23:19:18] stonith: zabin: if thats the case, then you need to configure mythtv to use a script to control that irw
[23:19:19] zabin: mceusb2
[23:19:25] zabin: how do i do that?
[23:20:26] stonith: zabin: i haven't set up the remote portion myself, i'm just using an RF keyboard with a USB stick... i would figure you have to go to the SETUP portion of mythtv

[23:22:19] directhex: gbee, i've administered a lot of different *nix systems. there's a reason debian is still an enduring choice for systems managers. it might not be the prettiest, or the easiest, but when you're in charge of a number of systems, the ease with which you can get wireless going isn't a priority deciding factor
[23:23:10] stonith: directheex: wireless on enterprise systems? I could probably care less, i rather trunk two gig ports 802.3ad link aggregation then run on wireless.

[23:24:31] Zeroth404: directhex, well I can't find anything at major retailers
[23:24:35] zabin: i think it was a password bug with Mysql
[23:25:25] gbee: directhex: it wasn't just getting it working, it was keeping it working as well – ran into a bunch of irritating bugs along the way, such as ssh connections that wouldn't disconnect – stuff I've never experienced with any other distro
[23:27:28] gbee: debian (knoppmyth) just wouldn't stay working – every reboot it seemed to find some way to screw up
[23:27:40] stonith: gbee: i personally don't like debian myself, but it isn't a redhat-flavored distro... you are probably find a RH based distro easier to use
[23:28:10] directhex: knoppmyth isn't debian
[23:28:20] directhex: any more than mandriva is red hat
[23:28:32] gbee: anyway, I didn't mean for this to become a debian bashing discussion – just mentioning the 10 second versus 2 day config time for the wireless
[23:28:33] zabin: does anyone know how to get the remote to work in mythtv?
[23:28:47] gbee: directhex: the parts that matter are debian
[23:29:01] gbee: stonith: not a RH fan either tbh
[23:29:13] directhex: gbee, the parts of mandriva that matter are red hat. does that mean any issues with it are red hat problems?
[23:29:20] gbee: but in fairness it's been some time since I did anything much with RH
[23:29:39] zabin: If you wanted to put some movies on mythtv where on the computer would you put them to show up under media library?
[23:30:12] gbee: directhex: sorry I disagree, RH and Mandriva diverged long enough ago that there really isn't much comparison (I've run both side by side)
[23:31:15] gbee: and I'm not talking about the surface stuff
[23:31:29] directhex: gbee, the differences between debian and the thousands of distributions based on it are in the small details. the majority of debian-based distributions are junk – because it's easy (and encouraged) to make derivatives. i've spoken with distribution maintainers who really don;t understand things as fundemental as package management
[23:31:32] gbee: like I say, didn't mean to get into this debate so I'm leaving it there
[23:32:20] Tanthrix: So we're all agreed that mandriva sucks then?
[23:32:20] directhex: when you've administered multi-hundred-thousand pound systems that demand you use "yast" for the simplest of things, you learn to appreciate a distribution that doesn't treat you like an idiot
[23:32:34] zabin: owned
[23:33:37] directhex: anyway, it's past my bedtime

[23:36:24] gbee: directhex: (really should know better than respond but ..) no distro I've tried treats you like an idiot, unless you want or need it to, but even when you get beneath the skin of a distro (beneath the "yast") there are two different types – those that make life hard and those that make life easy
[23:36:28] Zider: 01:43
[23:36:30] Zider: night
[23:36:45] Zider: I refuse to learn am/pm.. ;)
[23:37:38] directhex: gbee, IME, any file yast thinks it should be in charge of will be overwritten with a fresh, yasty version at every opportunity. i've given up editing config files manually on suseish systems
[23:38:34] kash: subtract 12.
[23:38:37] kash: then that's PM
[23:38:51] gbee: fwiw, knoppmyth whatever it's based off (debian afaik) made life very hard if you didn't use "yast" – the configs were all over the place for a start
[23:40:05] gbee: directhex: never found that to be the case with mandriva, of course if you use the provided setup tool it will update (occassionlly overwrite) the file but if you never touched that tool it would never touch the config files
[23:40:51] gbee: hmm, should get some sleep

[23:45:20] Agrajag-: ok, is /usr/local/lib in any of those files?
[23:45:58] Agrajag-: if not, add it (unless you did a different --prefix), and run ldconfig
[23:46:02] riddlebox: Agrajag-, not sure what you mean
[23:46:26] Agrajag-: you have to add the line /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig

[23:47:08] LennonNZ: can can I tell mythtv to set a tone on the LNB (I have a dual LNB which changes depending if there is a tone or not)
[23:47:36] LennonNZ: so channel 1 for example is freq X with tone.. and channel 2 is freq Y with no tone
[23:50:04] zabin: does anyone know where the dir is for Watch Videos in mythtv?
[23:50:20] LennonNZ: go into the settings/video and you can change it

[23:52:31] Agrajag-: did you run ldconfig (as root) ?
[23:52:35] riddlebox: yes
[23:53:28] Agrajag-: riddlebox: does /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0 exist?
[23:54:14] Agrajag-: riddlebox: ldd /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend | grep libmyth – what do you get from that?
[23:55:01] riddlebox: not found, but there is a bunch of libmyth stuff in that dir

[23:56:54] Agrajag-: /usr/local/lib ? you can if there's only mythtv related stuff in there. otherwise do a make uninstall

[23:57:23] mcquaid: I have something scheduled tonight that scheduled to record in this timeslot weekly
[23:57:52] mcquaid: the guide has found it repeats on saturday and it's flagged tonights as 'record later'
[23:58:00] mcquaid: why would it give the later showing preference?
[23:58:05] mcquaid: and how do I change that?

[23:58:32] Agrajag-: riddlebox: what error? how do you expect it to work if you did make uninstall?
[23:58:53] riddlebox: Agrajag-, that same error that I pasted earlier
[23:59:37] Agrajag-: riddlebox: sounds like you've still got stuff left over from your apt-get install
