[00:00:07] sphery: I know some are quilt experts and some are SVN experts
[00:00:22] xand (xand!n=xand@zero.xand.co.uk) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:00:25] cal: why doesnt mythtv just switch me to my 2nd tuner instead of warning me that a recording will start in so many seconds?
[00:00:40] juski: I know enough svn to get by for now
[00:00:47] sphery: Yeah. You're definitely vying for over-achiever award.
[00:01:06] juski: definitely going for the 'artistic temperament' award ffs
[00:01:33] juski: I don't enjoy being so damn cranky ya know, and I'm not really like that offline
[00:01:35] sphery: cal: turn on "Avoid conflicts between live TV and scheduled shows."
[00:02:12] sphery: well, at least your doing work that qualifies you to have an artistic temperament.  :)
[00:02:21] Dibblah: Caliban: This is a 3 minute game, starting from the time you enter the 'setup' menu...
[00:02:32] Dibblah: Caliban: even.
[00:02:37] juski: just wait til I finish my appearance plugin (if I ever do)
[00:02:39] Dibblah: cal: even.
[00:02:52] Dibblah: Can this autocomplete get any more annoying? :)
[00:02:55] cal: sphery: well, also, while i am on my 2nd tuner, when i pull up the guide while watching live tv it doesnt pull up at the channel i am currently on.. it opens with the first channel selected. so i was thinking there is something a bit wrong with my 2nd tuner.
[00:02:59] sphery: It sounds cool from what I've heard (read) you mention
[00:03:04] juski: remind me to save the source of that before I format the machine for LRL
[00:03:25] cal: dibblah: not sure what you mean
[00:03:27] sphery: that would be bad to lose in a format
[00:03:33] juski: sphery: in theory it's pretty easy. in practice I've not done mcuh coding
[00:03:56] ** Dibblah was just referring to the difficulty of finding certain settings. **
[00:03:59] cal: sphery/dibblah: i mean.. i *want* the message to come up to warn me, but only if the other tuner is already recording too. then it would have to prompt me to make a choice.
[00:04:04] sphery: cal: Usually that's caused by a misconfiguration in input connections.
[00:04:23] sphery: cal: if you use "Avoid conflicts" that's what will happen.
[00:04:36] cal: awsome
[00:04:56] juski: 1. launch plugin. 2. draw some stuff onscreen. 3. pull the X&Y size & position data from the db 4. press arrow keys & position an arrow to the top left of your TV. press select & position the other arrow to the bottom right. press Menu & select the 'save' option which will store the new settings. restart mythfrontend.
[00:05:02] sphery: Are both of your capture cards (in the PVR-500) recording the same stuff--i.e. OTA or cable or whatever
[00:05:53] juski: easy peasy,see! it's only a plugin for the time being.. i didn't wanna feck about with the setup menu code – somebody can help me integrate it if it ever comes to that
[00:05:54] sphery: Anyway, cal, the best way to fix it is probably: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[00:06:32] sphery: Just make sure you create the new input connections right (i.e. you probably should have only one video source and it should be connected to only one input on each "tuner" of your 500)
[00:07:08] sphery: juski: cool.
[00:07:37] juski: what I really wanna acheive here is be a good example – a guy who wanted a feature he went off & made it – and show that people supported me & didn't laugh when I was trying to call functions from the destructor (again) lol
[00:07:46] sphery: That would help a lot of people (and might allow people to complete mythtv-setup without whining that some of the stuff is cut off)
[00:08:24] juski: oh yeah my other pet-hate is on the to-do list too.. minimum 5% border for the setup buttons
[00:08:25] sphery: That can be fun. After all, it is a destructor, so why not destroy the running app... :)
[00:08:35] juski: eureka!
[00:08:45] sphery: Wow. You're actually going to dig into the UI for mythtv-setup...
[00:08:48] sphery: That's a big project.
[00:09:15] shnastybiznastic (shnastybiznastic!n=bas@97.82.213.107) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:09:27] sphery: I feel sorry for the SoC student who tried to do the setup simplification project... He was doomed from the beginning.
[00:10:03] shnastybiznastic (shnastybiznastic!n=bas@97.82.213.107) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:10:19] juski: sphery: not really hard to do from what I've seen of the code. the start to every part gets the screen dimensions & puts them into variables – all you need do is compensate them accordingly I think
[00:10:20] sphery: People complain that Myth setup is too complex, but when you mention that you're removing a setup option, they all come out of the woodwork saying why it's so necessary to them (often without understanding that it's not necessary--and in many cases ignored--even for them).
[00:10:49] cal: sphery: i already have that turned on!
[00:11:10] sphery: Just a lot of stuff to fit on an NTSC TV (PAL might be better because of the higher res, but not much better).
[00:11:34] juski: as a theme guy I'd probably go for changing the OSD theme stuff first – put it in the appearance section
[00:11:38] cal: sphery: the system is acting like i dont even have a 2nd tuner i think.. (but it works if i switch to it manually by using 'y')
[00:12:06] juski: cal: sounds to me like no video source is bound to the 2nd tuner
[00:12:34] sphery: cal: what juski said
[00:12:51] sphery: again, I highly recommend: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[00:13:02] juski: stop mythbackend, go into mythtv-setup & check in 'input connections'
[00:13:07] cal: juski: then why does it work if i switch to it manually with 'y'?
[00:13:21] sphery: clear out everything before you start fixing it... Some of the stuff in the DB might mess things up even after you "fix" it.
[00:13:46] sphery: cal: Y switches cards no problem on a 1-card system.
[00:13:50] sphery: From card 0 to card 0
[00:13:51] sphery: :)
[00:14:17] sphery: And, 06.21 20:04:04 < sphery> cal: Usually that's caused by a misconfiguration in input connections.
[00:14:21] sphery: :)
[00:14:43] cal: um if i go back to livetv i can watch it on tuner 2 while tuner1 is recording another channel
[00:14:51] cal: so i know it see's the tuner
[00:15:06] sphery: LiveTV can work without proper input connections.
[00:15:11] cal: ok
[00:15:14] sphery: Can you record 2 scheduled recordings at the same time?
[00:15:19] sphery: That's the litmus test
[00:15:46] sphery: But still, I recommend clearing your input connections and starting over as in the post I linked above.
[00:15:49] juski: anyway in other news it looks like I might have to appear in court to give evidence in a manslaughter case
[00:15:58] sphery: (Best to do this after your recording finishes, though :)
[00:16:08] sphery: Woah.
[00:16:17] kruuli (kruuli!i=kruuli@c-bcb772d5.013-36-73746f51.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se) has quit ()
[00:16:33] sphery: Good luck with that and I hope everything goes OK.
[00:16:39] cal: [MPEG:/dev/video0](Tuner1) -> Video1 ... [MPEG:/dev/vide01](Tuner1) -> video2
[00:16:46] cal: those look okay to me.... ?
[00:16:55] juski: that particular bit of bad news comes from me simply doing a forensic clone of a hdd from a cctv dvr which was in a factory fire (arson) where some guy got killed
[00:17:02] sphery: should be just one video source
[00:17:05] sphery: looks like 2 to me
[00:17:20] sphery: (Unless you actually have 2 different sources of TV)
[00:17:26] cal: huh?
[00:17:50] sphery: 06.21 20:05:02 < sphery> Are both of your capture cards (in the PVR-500) recording the same stuff--i.e. OTA or cable or whatever
[00:17:54] cal: /dev/video0 is one source... /dev/video1 is the other
[00:17:56] juski: yeah that looks like 2 sources
[00:18:07] sphery: No, those are capture cards
[00:18:13] sphery: /dev/video0 is a capture card
[00:18:14] cal: right... 2 sources
[00:18:18] sphery: S-Video 0 is an input
[00:18:21] cal: 2 tuners
[00:18:22] juski: ah here we go.. when we say 'VIDEO SOURCES' we actually refer to what mythtv calls a 'video source'
[00:18:26] sphery: A video source is something you define in Video Sources
[00:18:38] juski: which isn't a source of a video signal at all – it's a source of EPG data!
[00:18:38] cal: this is a bit confusing =)
[00:18:44] sphery: What's connected to your cards?
[00:18:49] sphery: cable TV?
[00:18:53] cal: yeah
[00:18:56] sphery: to both?
[00:19:05] juski: don't worry I'm still intending to fight to have that changed from 'video source' to 'EPG data source'
[00:19:06] Dibblah: Wasn't it left like that to make it easier for theme designers, or something? ;)
[00:19:09] cal: cable tv to a pvr-500 ... it splits the signal within the card itself
[00:19:18] sphery: Perfect.
[00:19:29] sphery: OK, are you in mythtv-setup, now?
[00:19:32] cal: yeah
[00:19:37] juski: Dibblah: I was told it couldn't be changed because of translations..
[00:19:40] sphery: Are you recording, now?
[00:19:49] Dibblah: Juski: Don't bother. There is no EPG source in the future, remember ;)
[00:19:52] cal: i think so but i can cancel it
[00:19:55] juski: and now there's er.. history
[00:20:03] juski: Dibblah: cruel. funny, but cruel
[00:20:07] KraMer (KraMer!n=mark@adsl-70-240-186-65.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[00:20:09] sphery: cal: I can give you the info you need now and you can try to work through it later
[00:20:24] sphery: cal: or we can actually do it now if you don't mind shutting off the backend.
[00:20:33] cal: i have a feeling i will understand once i see the setup
[00:20:45] cal: but at the moment i dont understand why two devices would go to 1 source
[00:20:46] sphery: So, for now, leave the backend running.
[00:21:06] sphery: First step, let's go (in mythtv-setup) to Video Sources.
[00:21:23] cal: okay i have a Video1 and a Video2
[00:21:30] sphery: OK. That's the problem.
[00:21:34] sphery: You should only have one source.
[00:21:42] sphery: The source is basically the "source" of your listings data.
[00:21:50] cal: okay.. i see
[00:22:04] cal: so if i had an antenna hooked up i would make THAT a second source
[00:22:08] KraMer (KraMer!n=mark@adsl-70-240-186-65.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:22:33] sphery: And, just like you have a splitter on your cable TV cable, you're going to "split" the video source to both cards.
[00:22:45] cal: got ya
[00:22:53] cal: so delete Video2?
[00:22:59] sphery: cal: Right. Since the antenna would likely have different channels from the cable TV, you'd need two sources.
[00:23:05] sphery: Don't delete now.
[00:23:18] sphery: We don't want to mess with this while the backend is recording (it could break the recording).
[00:23:37] cal: i could care less about what its currently recording
[00:23:40] Dibblah: sphery: It's just TV. I'd kill the backend, personally :)
[00:23:44] sphery: However, to ensure you clean out all the garbage that got in there when you created the second source, you'll need to use the "Delete all video sources" button.
[00:23:57] cal: oh boy
[00:23:58] sphery: If that's the case, go ahead and shut down the backend.
[00:24:07] squish102 (squish102!n=squish10@cpe-024-074-100-250.carolina.res.rr.com) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:24:27] sphery: Once you understand how this works, Delete all video sources -> working configuration takes less than 2 minutes.
[00:24:39] Dibblah: ... With DD.
[00:24:46] cal: i hope this doesnt mess up the stuff i already have recorded, or my channel lineup
[00:24:48] sphery: So, it's not a big deal (and is the best way to change video source/input connection/channel configuration).
[00:24:54] Dibblah: With xmltv it's slightly more involved.
[00:24:54] sphery: Nope. It won't.
[00:25:07] cal: okay backend is down
[00:25:08] sphery: Dibblah: true...
[00:25:11] cal: delete video2 now?
[00:25:14] sphery: Nope.
[00:25:15] cal: or delete all?
[00:25:17] sphery: Delete all video sources
[00:25:22] cal: k
[00:25:28] sphery: Yeah. Otherwise you're leaving garbage that will mess things up later.
[00:25:32] Dibblah: As many people are shortly going to find out. Mwa ha ha ha.
[00:25:32] sphery: So that's done?
[00:25:36] cal: yup
[00:25:42] sphery: Dibblah is evil
[00:25:50] sphery: OK, now create a new video source.
[00:25:56] sphery: You can use any name you want.
[00:26:06] sphery: Since it's your cable TV source, I'd use something like "cable"
[00:26:21] sphery: (I used "DISH Orlando" for my DISH. I use "OTA" for my OTA.
[00:26:23] juski: I thought I was evil.. oh man I have a lot to learn
[00:26:39] cal: great, i have to redo my listings it looks like
[00:26:48] sphery: They'll get pulled in.
[00:26:49] Dibblah: Nah, you're sufficiently evil.
[00:26:59] cal: those were a pain to fix because not all my icons were there
[00:27:07] sphery: In the video source you have to specify datadirect, username, password
[00:28:02] sphery: Then Retrieve Lineups
[00:28:16] sphery: Then select the lineup you created for DataDirect
[00:28:28] sphery: Don't check "Perform EIT scan"
[00:28:32] cal: done
[00:28:37] sphery: And set channel freq table to default.
[00:28:50] cal: k
[00:28:58] sphery: OK, make sure you save it with finish (i.e. not escape)
[00:29:14] sphery: Then escape out of video sources to the main menu
[00:29:27] cal: done
[00:29:28] sphery: Next, go to Input Connections
[00:29:53] cal: they all point to (none) now
[00:29:57] sphery: Cool.
[00:30:06] sphery: Now we need to point the right one to the new video source
[00:30:13] sphery: (i.e. Tuner 0 or whatever)
[00:30:39] cal: i have /dev/video0 (Tuner 1) and /dev/video1 (Tuner1)
[00:30:58] sphery: (At this point I'm operating blind because I don't have any analog (V4L) capture cards, so you may have to read between my words...)
[00:31:03] sphery: Perfect.
[00:31:07] cal: point both to the new source?
[00:31:12] sphery: Yep.
[00:31:56] cal: Fetch Channels from listings source?
[00:31:56] sphery: And, I think if you select the input after assigning it, it takes you to a page where you have a button that says something like, "Fetch channels from listings provider"
[00:32:00] sphery: Yep.
[00:32:09] cal: hmm... Input priority
[00:32:10] sphery: Should pull in all your channels.
[00:32:13] cal: wonder if i want that
[00:32:17] sphery: Probably now.
[00:32:23] sphery: s/now/not
[00:32:28] sphery: affects scheduling, not livetv
[00:32:43] sphery: Once we've done this the Avoid conflicts will do what you want.
[00:32:54] sphery: So, does it have your channels?
[00:33:15] midav: when I configure mythtv under OSX under video support I get no for everything, so when it compiles nothing is displayed... at least one thing must be there right?
[00:33:29] midav: then again it's hard coded into configure to disable x11 under darwin
[00:34:03] sphery: I know nothing of Mac OS.
[00:34:22] Kevorkian: midav, is there a reason you dont want to use the precompiled binarys ?
[00:34:35] midav: i'm running latest trunk on backend
[00:34:46] midav: and precompiled stuff will not connect
[00:34:47] Kevorkian: ahhhh ..
[00:35:05] Kevorkian: protocol change in .21 ?
[00:35:12] midav: yep
[00:35:19] ** Kevorkian smacks the devs **
[00:35:31] midav: and precompiled stuff is ancient too
[00:35:40] ** sphery thanks the devs for new features **
[00:38:29] cal: sphery: all my channels are gone :( .. running mythfilldatabase.
[00:38:36] ben_goodger: I'm setting up a box for my father in the next few days
[00:38:42] ben_goodger: am I going to be reduced to tears?
[00:38:51] sphery: cal: channels gone or listings gone?
[00:38:54] midav: i'm going crazy this crap for osx never compiles
[00:39:01] cal: listings
[00:39:03] sphery: channels should be there now, but you'll need to run mfdb to get listings data
[00:39:05] midav: i spent so much time on it and it won't work
[00:39:25] cal: will i need to reschedule all my future recordings?
[00:39:29] midav: and my goal was to port it over to Apple TV so that it can be used as a nice standalone frontend
[00:39:30] sphery: nope
[00:39:34] cal: k thats good
[00:39:40] sphery: cal: All the recordings will work.
[00:39:51] Kevorkian: ben_goodger, be nice to daddy .. but him a tivo
[00:39:53] cal: i lost my channel icons i hope mythfill puts them back
[00:39:54] ** Kevorkian ducks **
[00:40:12] ben_goodger: Kevorkian: besides the gross immorality of such an act, they're not available in this country
[00:40:14] sphery: Only way they wouldn't is if you used "this channel" recording rules and you changed the channel callsigns. (But you should probably use "any channel" rules, anyway.)
[00:40:22] Scopeuk (Scopeuk!n=Scope@cpc3-mfld2-0-0-cust47.nott.cable.ntl.com) has quit ("Not that there is anything wrong with that")
[00:40:36] cal: ok..
[00:40:39] ** Kevorkian hands ben_goodger a knoppmyth cd **
[00:40:46] sphery: cal: You'll need to put the icons back. They're still on disk, but the new channels in the DB don't know where.
[00:40:48] juski: ben_goodger: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Complete-Boxed-Graded-T . . . cmdZViewItem
[00:40:58] ben_goodger: Kevorkian: I'm planning on doing that
[00:41:05] sphery: cal: You can either edit the DB (make a backup and all that) or just re-run the script to get the icons.
[00:41:28] Kevorkian: as long has your hardware is supported ben .. no tears at all
[00:41:38] sphery: If you use the script, it will re-download them, but if you were using the defaults, it save your editing the DB directly.
[00:41:53] ben_goodger: juski: meh
[00:42:13] Kevorkian: and .. remember .. no matter how nice and shiney that ATI video card is .. DO NOT BUY IT
[00:42:23] cal: woo.. icons are back
[00:42:38] sphery: and TV works?
[00:42:57] cal: yup! thanks for your help, obviously i was a bit confused
[00:43:07] sphery: welcome
[00:43:16] sphery: It's a lot to get your head around when you're just starting out.
[00:43:32] sphery: Glad it works. And, with that, I'm off to get a (very late) dinner.
[00:43:34] cal: yeah its cause it was made to be so versatle
[00:43:38] cal: (which is good)
[00:43:43] sphery: Yep.
[00:44:02] sphery: Also serves as a test... Only the truly worthy (and dedicated) can use Myth.
[00:44:16] sphery: (or stubborn, in my case)
[00:44:17] cal: i will prolly put an hd tuner in it (even though i can only get 2 hd channels)
[00:44:26] jafa (jafa!n=nkelsey@c-24-6-222-244.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has quit ("Ex-Chat")
[00:44:30] sphery: I get 30 OTA HDTV channels.
[00:44:42] Kevorkian: 2hd chans ??

[00:44:45] sphery: (granted, some are subchannels and only 7 are worth watching, but still it's cool)
[00:44:49] cal: unless i decide to get directTV... which prolly just plain sucks to use with mythtv...?

[00:45:02] Kevorkian: why would it suck cal ?
[00:45:15] cal: kev: cause of what sphery just said lol
[00:45:16] Kevorkian: why not sphery ?
[00:45:36] cal: i mean... can mythtv control directtv's digital box?
[00:45:50] sphery: Kevorkian: no way to capture HDTV from it.
[00:45:52] cal: and get hd from it?
[00:45:55] Kevorkian: if it has a remote control .. myth CAN control it ..
[00:45:59] Kevorkian: ummm ..
[00:46:05] Kevorkian: ummmmmmmmmm ....
[00:46:16] cal: kev: that method is SO klunky IMO
[00:46:24] Kevorkian: your telling me that there is NO way to get a 1080 signal into a linux box ??
[00:46:51] ** Kevorkian points at any firewire port **
[00:46:57] Kevorkian: why would that not work ?
[00:47:00] cal: kev: i mean, dont you see 2 channel OSD's come up when changing channels... on top of each other...?
[00:47:09] sphery: So, you could control it with LIRC or serial and tune in an HDTV channel and output it from the STB to an S-Video input on a PVR-x50 and capture it as SDTV.
[00:47:30] ** Kevorkian points at the FW port AGAIN **
[00:47:37] Kevorkian: why not just use that sphery
[00:47:47] sphery: Kevorkian: If the satellite STB's have firewire, it either only allows channel changing or encrypts all video output.
[00:48:05] Kevorkian: wow .. ummm .. ok if you say so
[00:48:16] cal: sphery: so how do you get your hdtv lineup?
[00:48:17] sphery: Only the cable STB's are required to have firewire ports (and enable them for customers).

[00:48:42] bball_: you can use DirecTV native with MythTV
[00:48:58] cal: i need one of those =)
[00:49:01] sphery: cal and the good fortune that all of the transmitters I'm trying to tune are within 5 degrees of each other from my house.
[00:49:21] sphery: So, I can position it in the middle and everything is in the 3 degree sweet spot.
[00:49:26] cal: what city are you in/
[00:49:38] bball_: there is a kernel module to translate DirecTV propietary SI tables into DVB compliant SI tables
[00:49:54] bball_: and there are a few DVB-S cards that are capable of tuning DSS
[00:50:12] sphery: bball_: but it's all encrypted, so we can't play it back.
[00:50:20] bball_: with smartcard reader you can
[00:50:28] sphery: And before you say, "it's possible", it's not legal, so don't say it.
[00:50:28] bball_: with a valid sub card
[00:51:08] bball_: in fact its the only way I know.. using a valid sub card
[00:51:38] Kevorkian: sphery, http://www.zotzdigital.com/item.php?pid=1295&cid=457
[00:52:07] Kevorkian: that will get your HD signal into the box
[00:52:20] Kevorkian: and not even have to plug in that pesky FW cable
[00:52:31] sphery: I doubt that it will work
[00:52:50] sphery: Your CPU can't encode HDTV in real time, so if it doesn't encode for you it won't work.
[00:52:52] Kevorkian: well .. at least we have gone from "it wont work" .. to "you doubt"
[00:53:03] Kevorkian: WTF are you talking about
[00:53:09] Kazan (Kazan!n=no@75-162-1-106.desm.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:53:11] cal: direcTV should sell digital cards for PCI slots =) =)
[00:53:18] sphery: If it does encode for you, you'd need drivers that support an appropriate API (DVB, probably)
[00:53:32] Kazan: why is my ATSC tuner recording in .nuv now.. it used to record in .mpg then i updated my version of .20-fixes
[00:53:57] bball_: cal: you can already buy such cards
[00:54:14] sphery: Kazan: HDTV or using the analog inputs of the card?
[00:55:06] Kevorkian: sphery, please explain what you think you mean when you say "encode"
[00:55:34] sphery: I mean encode to MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 from video frames
[00:55:55] Kazan: sphery: only tuning digital channels.. SDTV and HDTV shows
[00:55:56] sphery: I didn't read how that card works, but it's either a frame grabber or a hardware encoder.
[00:55:56] Kevorkian: why would there be an alouge to dig conversion ?
[00:56:06] Kazan: it's not encoding anything
[00:56:08] sphery: If it's hardware encoder, drivers are likely the only issue.
[00:56:13] Kazan: ATSC comes in in mpeg2
[00:56:16] sphery: If it's a frame grabber, it has to do compression.
[00:56:19] Kazan: it's neither
[00:56:21] Kazan: it's an ATSC tuner
[00:56:35] sphery: Kazan: But if you're inputting Composite (analog), it's not MPEG-2
[00:56:47] Kazan: well.. i'm not
[00:56:48] Kevorkian: whos talking composite ?
[00:57:03] Kazan: if i was using the analog inputs i wouldn't have had to ask that question
[00:57:08] sphery: sorry, component
[00:57:09] Kazan: it's recording .nuv's from ATSC input
[00:57:50] Kazan: and i want to know why
[00:58:04] sphery: Kazan: don't know, but if it is HDTV, the worst case is that it's just putting an ".nuv" extension on an MPEG file.
[00:58:06] Kevorkian: cause you broke it Kazan ??
[00:58:46] sphery: Kevorkian: the point is, if you can find a legal way to get HDTV from a satellite box into a MythTV system, you'll be the first.
[00:59:05] Kevorkian: I woudl be the first ???
[00:59:19] Kevorkian: now .. that I doubt
[00:59:29] Kazan: i wonder if mythrename.pl borked the filenames
[00:59:49] bball_: there is one free HD channel on Canadian Bell Exprees Vu provider
[00:59:55] bball_: a preview channel
[01:00:10] Kazan: i hate cable companies
[01:00:13] Kazan: they're buttheads
[01:00:18] Kazan: to use mild language :P
[01:00:36] sphery: Kevorkian: (And I'm considering things like the the Windows boxes with hacked STB's to be gray-areas (not necessarily legal), and too inefficient/too "bad" to be feasible)
[01:00:41] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, trust me, outside of the DVB-S community OUTSIDE the US....you would be.
[01:01:05] sphery: Seriously, Kevorkian, show me someone who has gotten DISH or DirecTV HDTV into a Myth box.
[01:01:24] sphery: Or, search the lists for all the "how do I", "you can't" threads.
[01:01:25] bball_: I know people who have gotten dish
[01:01:44] TSCHAK: bball_, care to substantiate?
[01:01:50] sphery: Kazan: that's the most likely situation. IMHO, mythrename should /only/ be used with the "--link" option.
[01:02:01] sphery: bball_: legally
[01:02:09] bball_: not legally
[01:02:21] sphery: because we don't discuss illegal stuff here, since it's a logged IRC channel
[01:02:22] bball_: none of the channels are in the clear
[01:02:29] Kevorkian: there are 37 billion ways to get a HD video signal into a computer .. how can it be SO hard to route that to myth ?
[01:02:34] sphery: And no one in here cares to break the law that way.
[01:02:43] bball_: the only legal HD channel I know of is from canada
[01:02:46] sphery: Kevorkian: You'll make a lot of friends once you get it working.

[01:03:18] ** Kevorkian points at these nice compotent cables .. **
[01:03:33] sphery: component = analog
[01:03:40] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, there isn't a solution that can reliably do that yet
[01:03:44] sphery: Who's going to encode to MPEG (i.e. compress)
[01:03:47] TSCHAK: although some clever fpga coder could do it
[01:03:49] Kevorkian: TSCHAK ?????????
[01:03:57] sphery: compression!
[01:04:05] TSCHAK: HD-SDI transcoding doesn't count
[01:04:13] TSCHAK: because of the sheer amount of glue which would be needed
[01:04:24] TSCHAK: trust me, I actually HAVE one of those cards for professional video work.
[01:04:31] ** Kevorkian points at this shiney card http://www.zotzdigital.com/item.php?pid=1295&cid=457 **
[01:04:40] TSCHAK: again, I have that exact card.
[01:04:51] Kevorkian: ok .. its got mac drivers ..
[01:04:54] bball_: is that an MPEG encoder ?
[01:04:59] TSCHAK: bball_, no.;
[01:05:00] Kevorkian: why cant that stream be pointed at myth ?
[01:05:13] ** sphery goes to get dinner (and anxiously awaits Kevorkian's "Eureka!" post to the list) **
[01:05:22] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, the hardware is non-disclosed
[01:05:24] bball_: hehe
[01:05:48] Kevorkian: im not talking about the hardware ..
[01:05:55] bball_: so what you want to do is input video from that card and play it with myth ?
[01:05:56] Kevorkian: the stream that the driver outputs ..
[01:05:58] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, and the stream it outputs, is meant for video editing
[01:06:17] TSCHAK: which means a ton of in-between work to make something palatable for mythtv.
[01:06:19] Kazan: sphery: yeah... windows doesn't understand symlinks though... and i'm accessing my storage via samba
[01:06:26] Kevorkian: 'ok .. but why cant that be pointed at myth ??
[01:06:39] bball_: because its not MPEG stream
[01:06:42] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, COST PROHIBITIVE.
[01:06:46] sphery: Kazan: mount the share without Unix extensions enabled and they're dereferenced
[01:06:55] TSCHAK: Kevorkian, are you smart enough to know how much that card costs?
[01:06:59] Kevorkian: if final cut can deal with the strream .. why cant myth ?
[01:07:09] Kevorkian: at least 4 $'s
[01:07:19] Kevorkian: ive "seen" one
[01:07:26] Kazan: Kevorkian: do you know how much CPU it would require to encode HDTV in realtime.. that's why componant (or any other non-compressed HDTV input) cannot be used
[01:07:27] Kevorkian: never touched it ..
[01:07:34] TSCHAK: it's $6, with the needed I/O.
[01:07:52] TSCHAK: Kazan, now I DO believe that a well coded FPGA can handle it
[01:08:03] TSCHAK: Kazan, one of the bigger Xilinx chips could do it.
[01:08:13] Kazan: TSCHAK: probably... but it needs as much horsepower as a DX9C video card
[01:08:15] Kevorkian: Kazan, not as much as you think
[01:08:20] bball_: what format does that card enocde the video to ?
[01:09:02] sphery: Kevorkian: You do realize that 1080i60 would be 312GiB/hr at 12 bits/pixel
[01:09:10] bball_: you aren't going to be able to transcode it on the fly without specialized hardware so it would have to encode it in a format playable by myth
[01:09:19] TSCHAK: Kazan, the nice thing is, that the majority of the chip's function would be limited to colorspace conversion to YV12, and the resulting stream could be sent to another FPGA which could do the MPEG-2 encoding nicely.
[01:09:33] Kazan: HDTV mpeg2 9gb/hour.. HDTV uncompressed 1080i 32-bit color 834GB/hour (For JUST the video frames)
[01:09:44] sphery: So, /if/ you could keep up with the colorspace conversion (to allow 12bpp), you still need a /big/ HDD to record to since you can't buy a processor that can encode to MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 in real time for that size of frame.
[01:09:48] Kazan: TSCHAK: still the same amount of ned processing
[01:09:58] Kazan: 12bpp... oh... so it's even bigger :D
[01:10:08] ** Kazan is used to dealing with RGBA all the time **
[01:10:11] Hausberg (Hausberg!n=jykke@p549A2F3E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit ("Leaving")
[01:10:39] sphery: RGBA is 32bpp
[01:10:40] Kazan: so 1920*1080 (dims) *12 (YUV12) *30 (full frames per second in 1080i) * 3600 (Seconds in an hour)
[01:10:44] sphery: 12bpp is small
[01:10:53] Kazan: RGBA is 8bpp
[01:10:58] Kazan: or wait
[01:10:59] Kazan: lol
[01:11:02] Kazan: bits per PIXEL
[01:11:08] Kazan: not bits per channel
[01:11:26] sphery: yeah 8 bits per channel x 4 channels. :)
[01:11:28] Kazan: so YUV12 is 1.5bytes/pixel
[01:11:29] TSCHAK: Kazan, the only thing you need to do, is to be able to encode it fast enough.... you can use multiple chips to factor the colorspace and mpeg-2 conversion into multiple chunks..... it's more expensive, but still a LOT simpler than resorting to doing HD-SDI
[01:11:44] Kazan: HD-SDI?
[01:11:50] ** Kazan is a game programmer.. not a video codec programmer **
[01:11:52] sphery: serial digital interface
[01:12:01] TSCHAK: Kazan, the card that Kevorkian pointed out above outputs HD-SDI.
[01:12:08] ** Kazan has no idea what that is **
[01:12:08] sphery: basically, the signalling that's used for DVI and its ilk
[01:12:12] Kazan: aaaah
[01:12:17] Kazan: so... again... much bigger than 9GB/hour
[01:12:37] Kazan: wonder how much computing it WOULD record to make HDTV equivalent of an IVTV chip
[01:12:53] Kazan: if it's not practical at consumer prices now.. it will be soon
[01:13:09] Kevorkian: ummm .. it if requires all that horsepower .. why does this shiney box exist ?? http://www.zotzdigital.com/item.php?pid=406&cid=357
[01:13:13] TSCHAK: not as much as everyone is thinking in here.. as I said, some of the larger FPGAs can do it
[01:13:15] sphery: As TSCHAK has been saying, with the right FPGA's it's possible (they actually ahve tose cards for networks, etc.)
[01:13:32] bball_: kazan: I've been waiting forever for such a card/chip :-)
[01:13:33] TSCHAK: I wish I was a better VHDL hacker
[01:13:41] TSCHAK: or I'd just freaking tear down and DO IT.
[01:13:49] sphery: Just not within the price point of your typical V4L/DVB hacker, yet.
[01:14:00] Kazan: being pratical doesn't mean it'll be MADE :D
[01:14:18] Kazan: Kevorkian: probably because it's not doing the same thing as what we're talking about
[01:14:40] ** sphery just wishes his local networks would get some of those cards for putting in their animated advertisements **
[01:14:42] Kevorkian: ummm .. HD analouge in .. and digi out the other side
[01:14:53] Kazan: moron
[01:14:57] Kazan: it's still not doing what we're talking about
[01:15:01] sphery: Currently they cut from 5.1-channel audio HDTV to 2-channel audio SDTV stretched to widescreen.
[01:15:01] Kazan: it's doing an analog digital conversion
[01:15:07] sphery: It's annoying.
[01:15:09] Kazan: but it's NOT DOING THE MPEG2 COMPRESSION YOU NITWIT
[01:15:13] Kevorkian: which is what the convo started as ..

[01:15:30] Kazan: it's not what i was talking about you moron

[01:15:45] sphery: Let's just say, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 are very much under-appreciated heroes of the Myth story.
[01:16:21] ** Kazan nods **
[01:16:24] Kevorkian: even at them bit rates .. mpeg compression in real time is not as hard as people thin

[01:27:20] sphery: FunkyELF: Wow. That's going a long way.
[01:27:47] FunkyELF: sphery, yeah....how important is TV listing data that they need to do that?
[01:28:50] sphery: It's definitely amazing. People seldom place appropriate value on the data they own.
[01:29:08] sphery: It's probably costing them far more to do what they're doing than the losses from allowing screen scraping.
[01:29:13] sphery: (would cost)

[01:46:13] mikeones: sphery: or is that not likely?
[01:46:43] sphery: But myth's built-in transcoder can't go from NUV -> MPEG-2, so you'd have to use an external program (like nuvexport) in a user-job.
[01:46:57] sphery: And, IMHO, it's not really worth it.
[01:48:21] sphery: (BTW, eventually--probably shortly after the backend does the Flash transcoding--the build-in transcoder will be able to go from NUV -> MPEG-2.)

[01:51:13] sphery: Basically, yeah.
[01:51:40] sphery: Since it's transcoding on the fly, you can only seek to parts that have already been transcoded and downloaded.
[01:51:53] sphery: So, depending on the speed of your MythWeb computer...
[01:52:10] mikeones: less than 1md upload.
[01:52:16] mikeones: *mb
[01:52:40] sphery: And, the picture is tiny (and fullscreen doesn't work--at least on my Linux boxes) and quality is poor.
[01:53:06] ** sphery prefers to copy to his laptop HDD and watch "high quality" recordings when on the road. **

[01:53:57] mike3_: I'm so freeking tierd of dealing with gentoo. I hate waiting for it to take a billion years to build everything
[01:54:06] mikeones: now I find that sucks also. :(

[01:55:41] sphery: Anyway, you could probably find some way to make the streaming work for you, but I think the $50 for a PVR-150 would be a /lot/ cheaper than trying to use the V4L card.
[01:55:50] mikeones: sphery: I get about 40 from my cable connection but there is only 4 I can stand.
[01:56:28] sphery: And the others you like are all non-digital?
[01:56:39] sphery: Or was the card really that bad?
[01:56:53] mikeones: mike3_: Check sidux.. debian based, rock solid, and support is awsome.
[01:57:11] mike3_: I don't have to build every package now do I
[01:57:17] mike3_: geez.. that is a pain in the ass
[01:57:33] mike3_: I will continue to use gentoo as my primary deskotp, but for my myth system. Don't really matter to me
[01:57:42] mikeones: sphery: I only have SD cable.
[01:58:11] mikeones: mike3_: apt-get install mythtv. Thats it!
[01:58:26] mike3_: Their all binaries correct
[01:58:31] mike3_: no building source from scratch
[01:58:31] mike3_: ?
[01:58:40] mikeones: svn is what I do.
[01:59:08] mikeones: apt-get build-dep mythtv, then get svn and compile away.
[01:59:25] mike3_: I'm looking not to build from scratch
[01:59:29] mike3_: I don't want to deal with waiting
[02:00:25] mikeones: mike3_: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installi . . . rom_upstream
[02:00:45] mike3_: I think I'm going to go with Ubuntu to be honest
[02:00:52] mike3_: Top distro, and it's based on debian
[02:00:54] mike3_: uses apt-get
[02:01:05] mike3_: and I'm pretty certain you don't need to build every packages from source like gentoo
[02:01:47] mikeones: no, nothing is like gentoo.. maybe arch-linux.

[02:59:14] keith4: ebay seems to work okay
[02:59:37] kormoc: keith4, the pvr 150 is cheaper and (typically) better then the 250
[02:59:51] ** keith4 shrugs **
[02:59:57] keith4: i have 4 250s... no problems
[03:00:10] keith4: all the 500s i see are MCE
[03:00:21] kormoc: keith4, the pvr 150's tuner typically tune slightly better and thus less noise

[03:00:48] keith4: i had problems with a 250 MCE a while back

[03:09:37] achew22: Grecko, tribune media
[03:09:39] kormoc: Grecko, zap2it is owned by Tribune Media
[03:09:55] kormoc: Grecko, and Tribune Media has exclusive rights to the listings

[03:48:10] Zentax-Work: so instead we installed Ubuntu and installed MythTV by hand
[03:48:14] Zentax-Work: Which was more successfuly
[03:48:27] Zentax-Work: We can now see the card be detected in dmesg. How-ever not by mythtv at all
[03:48:51] Grecko: Ok. Is /dev/v4l/videoX working?
[03:48:53] Zentax-Work: we have upgraded to the latest kernel 2.6.20-16-general
[03:49:11] Zentax-Work: i do not have /dev/v4l at all
[03:49:19] Grecko: So theres your problem
[03:49:41] Grecko: You need to install the drivers so Linux can work with the card before Myth will be able to use it
[03:49:52] Zentax-Work: I followed the instructions here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppaug . . . va-T_500_PCI to do the dot

[04:14:42] Grecko: - and _ should be equivalent for modprobe...
[04:15:06] Zentax-Work: modprobe i dont get anything at all. i was refering to
[04:15:19] Zentax-Work: mikeones command of "lsmod | grep dvb-usb-dib0700" << that is wrong
[04:15:27] achew22: Grecko, doesn't modprobe do a s/-/_/g kind of thing
[04:15:37] Zentax-Work: lsmod | grep dvb_usb_dib0700 << this works and gives me an ouput
[04:15:44] Zentax-Work: but i get nothing using modprobe at all
[04:15:49] PaulWay[w]: achew22: yep, but not grep, strangely enough :-)
[04:16:05] achew22: PaulWay[w], thats actualy called "regular expression"
[04:16:14] achew22: but yeah — I know
[04:16:16] PaulWay[w]: Zentax-Work: If the module's already loaded then modprobe won't reload it AFAIK
[04:16:21] mikeones: Zentax-Work: looks like it is loaded and in use
[04:16:38] PaulWay[w]: achew22: It was mikeones' command using grep that wasn't working...
[04:16:40] Zentax-Work: Yes.. We just tried something rather odd.. I think it may have been a configuration issue/user error
[04:16:54] Zentax-Work: I think we were using the wrong capture card adapter type
[04:16:57] achew22: ahh — I thought it was a clever response to my comment
[04:17:15] achew22: too bad PaulWay[w] if you had just accepted it I would have walked away thinking you were a very funny man ;)
[04:17:19] Zentax-Work: the devices didnt get detected themself but instead we manually typed /dev/dvb/adapter0 & adapter1

[04:22:32] wastrel: it's not as good as my old replay
[04:22:50] achew22: what are you having a hard time with?
[04:22:50] wastrel: it's a lot of work
[04:23:07] wastrel: external channel changer
[04:23:14] achew22: that is hard
[04:23:39] achew22: wastrel, i'm sorry I can't help you on that front as I only have internal tuners (actualy the HDHomeRun but it behaves like an internal tuner)
[04:23:39] wastrel: i don't understand rs232 stuff i suppose i should read up
[04:24:19] wastrel: the guide is only 4 lines long and scrolling through it is slow
[04:24:38] wastrel: this may be due to input from the remote control being slow
[04:24:53] achew22: wastrel, you should try having it record your programs then watching recordings instead of live
[04:25:17] wastrel: can't record, the external channel changer doesn't work
[04:25:26] wastrel: also the cable box seems to go to sleep
[04:25:35] achew22: wastrel, are you in the US?
[04:25:40] wastrel: or the hauppage input is being put to sleep
[04:25:43] wastrel: yes
[04:25:53] wastrel: need to fix that too
[04:25:55] achew22: do you have digital cable?
[04:25:59] wastrel: yes
[04:26:11] achew22: call your cable provider tomorrow morning and request a box with firewire
[04:26:18] achew22: as I understand that greatly simplifies things
[04:26:35] achew22: wastrel, they are required by the FCC to give you one at no extra rental fee too!
[04:27:35] achew22: wastrel, the US doesn't suck THAT bad we have some (read very few) cool laws/rules

[09:26:56] planktonboy: if I want to apply the latest svn to a previous svn that I have patched and installed, is there a way to check the differences between the 2 and keep them or is it just easier to do a clean checkout and then apply the patch again
[09:27:55] planktonboy: basically I want to keep the shoutcastpatch at http://www.eskil.org/mythtv/patches/shoutcast-13513.patch
[09:28:18] planktonboy: it patched fine with my existing svn checkout 13579
[09:28:44] planktonboy: but there are rejects in newer checkout
[09:32:56] planktonboy: have been reading the subversion book and beginning to understand it a bit, but its quite confusing at times and one can get a bit lost :)

[09:39:38] planktonboy: yes
[09:39:51] planktonboy: and then I guess I just have to edit by hand
[09:44:04] vfrex: Does L2 cache on the CPU play a large role in encoding performance?
[09:44:05] planktonboy: is there a command to check a patch difference against an existing file or dir
[09:44:11] directhex|work: vfrex, no
[09:44:48] directhex|work: vfrex, not in the slightest. overclocked celerons were the encoders' CPU of choice a few years back, since there was no speed loss compared to a real pentium
[09:44:52] Dagmar: Okay. Strange... I got a nearly impossible error out of transcode-1.0.2 so on the theory that my ffmpeg build is cooked, I'm taking that one apart
[09:45:08] vfrex: interesting. I'm planning on working off an AM2 sempron
[09:45:11] Dagmar: Looks like maybe my patch to make it say it was version "SVN-r$num" is confusing some things
[09:45:14] planktonboy: for example I want to patch mythweather3.patch to my mythweather dir, but first want to check it to see the differences before I try to patch it

[09:51:38] Dagmar: It just won't do as much.
[09:51:57] Dagmar: The kernel modules know what do to depending on the CPU they see. Don't worry about that.

[09:56:32] vfrex: Do you have a preferred brand?
[09:57:04] directhex|work: not specifically. just someone who isn't msi, asus or abit, if i can help it
[09:57:14] directhex|work: my best boards have been albatron and chaintech
[09:58:09] vfrex: the bad news is, if I want an AM2 board from newegg with an AGP slot, I'm choosing between biostar and MSI
[09:58:34] Dagmar: Look around for an ASRock board
[09:59:08] Dagmar: ...but frankly you should probably be ignoring AGP and just getting a plain PCI version of the nVidia 5200 for output

[10:15:56] Dagmar: Did you happen to install ivtv??

[10:17:12] ** hads had no idea what a hauppauge 274 is **
[10:17:29] Dagmar: I just barely remembered that it was one of the part numbers of the 150
[10:18:09] Dagmar: So what's going to the syslog when the ivtv driver is being loaded?
[10:18:30] hybridsto: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116633
[10:19:10] hybridsto: are those the same card?

[10:20:00] hybridsto: just making sure, gezz
[10:20:30] Dagmar: That's not a sane way to "make sure" by using *me* the guy who is telling you it's a PVR-150 as a means of clarification.
[10:21:37] hads: Nothing involving #mythtv-users is sane :)
[10:21:42] hybridsto: well I can only assume you know more about the card then I do as this is the first mythtv system, first tv tuner card for that matter
[10:21:49] directhex|work: nothing involving users is sane
[10:21:54] Dagmar: So why do you think I told you it was a PVR-150
[10:22:23] Dagmar: Enough of this. Check you syslog.
[10:22:34] hybridsto: I don't know, but I wanted to endure we where talking about the same thing before I tried anything else on it
[10:23:07] hybridsto: anyway, when I do "modprobe ivtv" I get no errors
[10:23:13] hybridsto: how do I check the log
[10:23:20] hybridsto: +?
[10:23:21] Dagmar: You open /var/log/syslog in an editor and look at it.
[10:23:35] hads: Heh, a 90FPS webcam.
[10:23:36] Dagmar: ...and possibly Google up some basic Linux administrator tutorials.
[10:24:02] hybridsto: I know how to look at the file, I just wanted the location
[10:24:13] hybridsto: I forgot about locate
[10:24:36] hads: hybridsto: syslog is a standard sort of think in *nix

[10:48:06] vfrex: ok, last newbie question from me today. Happauge PVR 150 vs WinTV-GO on a 1.6–1.8 Ghz Sempron. That should be ample power to playback while recording?
[10:48:40] pat_: simple answer is to not bother with a framegrabber if you can afford it
[10:48:42] Dagmar: Could you make the question make sense, please?
[10:49:33] vfrex: which part of it didn't make sense?
[10:49:48] Dagmar: The fact that you're asking two apparently unrelated questions
[10:50:39] ** hads stabs RFID **
[10:50:44] vfrex: Ok, the relation is that if the sempron can't handle playback while encoding through a software based process, it would be a default win to the PVR150
[10:51:22] Dagmar: Dude, just don't use the framegrabber if a PVR-150 is an option.
[10:51:30] hads: Hardware encoding/receiving card > *
[10:51:37] Dagmar: Like, this is such a huge difference it shoudn't even be something you'll question
[10:51:55] Dagmar: Playback CPU usage is practically nothing compared to how resource hungry framegrabbing is.
[10:51:59] vfrex: heh, the documentation page seems to boost the software method a bit
[10:52:11] Dagmar: You have to be misreading.

[10:52:57] Dagmar: I suspect you're misconstruing something based on that they're saying over and over that there's a seriously steep minimum hardware requirement for framegrabbing
[10:53:24] Dagmar: ...because people CONSTANTLY try it with less than that, or overload their framegrabbing machine, and whine about dropped frames and corrupted streams and waste a bunch of time.
[10:54:54] Dagmar: Then there is also http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s188/evild . . . enkiller.jpg

[10:55:19] Merlin83b: lol
[10:55:22] siXy: LOL!!!
[10:55:52] vfrex: I would say thats partially why CPUFREQ matters here. This processor overclocks very well and its encoding performance gets an impressive boost over stock. But that said, this is not a point I'll argue. I'll go hardware ;)
[10:56:13] Milosch: hardware good
[10:56:23] Dagmar: If you're considering manually punching up or down the voltage to overclock, don't be a moron.

[10:57:04] Milosch: think of your poor cpu as the kitten
[10:57:09] vfrex: nah, I've moved from 1600 (stock) to ~1900 stable on stock voltage
[10:57:33] vfrex: and thats with 24–48 hours of prime95 going to test for stability
[10:57:41] Dagmar: ...and 3–6 months from now when you start experiencing random malfunctions, you'll find us remarkably unsympathetic.
[10:57:49] Dagmar: Big freaking deal.
[10:57:53] Dagmar: You ran it for 24 hours.
[10:58:09] Dagmar: I've got my box running on a 3200+ right now.
[10:58:27] vfrex: thats why load based overclocking makes sense, isn't it? Boost cpu performance when its needed, drop it when its not?
[10:58:31] Dagmar: With it commerical flagging and transcoding things to XviD, it's at 100% CPU probably 3/4 of the day or greater
[10:58:32] Milosch: same here, but i think my motherboard sucks
[10:58:34] Dagmar: ...every day of the week.

[11:08:47] vfrex: think it was google anyway that found that operating temperature doesn't play a factor in hard drive survival duration
[11:09:08] Dagmar: The temperature doesn't affect lifespan, but overheating WILL kill a drive just the same
[11:09:24] Dagmar: It'll kill it immediately, not just a few months sooner
[11:09:37] Dagmar: Repeated cooling and heating will kill 'em quicker just fine tho
[11:09:45] vfrex: hehe
[11:09:52] vfrex: I take it you have a separate frontend?

[11:10:16] Dagmar: Nope.
[11:11:46] Dagmar: I went through a lot of drive coolers before I found a model with reliable 80mm low-rotation fans
[11:12:14] Dagmar: low-rotation == less noise
[11:12:33] vfrex: ok, so they're not just case fans pointed in the direction of the hard drives :p
[11:12:38] Dagmar: ...and I've got so many rubber grommets in the thing it should probably feel loosely constructed
[11:12:42] pat_: I wonder whether it is cheaper to buy bigger hard drives or pay for the power to transcode all that tv to xvid over the duration of the life of the drives?

[15:33:16] ben_goodger: Dagmar: ah, UK then. I was going to make a somewhat jingoistic joke about the UK speed limit
[15:33:17] Dagmar: Or maybe use some of that bannanna stuff they use at the coroners
[15:33:24] Beirdo: "jeez you stink... install mythtv"
[15:33:24] juski: they violate my human right to clean air!
[15:33:46] mkrufky: dburr: so, do you have a dvb-t nano or a dd4 ? .... and which country do you live in?
[15:33:51] juski: I wouldn't care but some of them can be overpowering at more than an arm's length away
[15:33:58] Beirdo: jeez, the puppy's snoring?!
[15:34:26] juski: at least it's not just linux geeks. I was overpowered by pong at Bowlers the other week too
[15:34:29] dburr: mkrufky: Not registered so no PM. But to answer your questions: DD4, AU
[15:34:45] mkrufky: dburr: that's fine — i didn't PM you.
[15:34:59] mkrufky: dburr: ah, and that other guy's AU firmware is working with my code well?
[15:35:00] ** juski considers buying a programmable dot matrix sign t-shirt **

[15:35:40] juski: ah well so much for the great revolution in wearable electronics
[15:35:47] mkrufky: dburr: i intend to finally integrate the AU support into xc-bluebird.patch .... now i finally have the atsc version of that hardware, too ... FusionHDTV5 USB NANO
[15:36:15] juski: hey my mate who got me into mythtv in the 1st place – he's going back to mythtv. spoke to him today & he's somewhat surprised at the sight of my commits lol
[15:36:17] dburr: mkrufky: Yep. Roger's fw works with v4l-dvb + your patch and also with straight v4l-dvb-experimental
[15:36:18] mkrufky: they tricked me — it uses a s5h1409 instead of a lgdt3303 — luckily, i've got a driver halfway written already
[15:36:38] mkrufky: dburr: stay away from the v4l-dvb-experimental
[15:36:40] janneg: mplayer has a matrix like video output
[15:36:58] juski: aalib or something that innit
[15:37:12] janneg: yes
[15:38:01] Beirdo: oy... time to add sighup support to the bot.
[15:38:06] juski: I'm still waiting for emo-wide – the Matrix-style theme for mythtv
[15:38:08] Beirdo: this will NOT be easy
[15:38:40] dburr: mkrufky: For technical or personal reasons ;) ? I spent some time on the dvb ML so I would understand
[15:39:02] juski: upcoming recordings are in green, current recordings are in green, conflicts are in green.. playlist items are in .. green :-P
[15:39:08] mkrufky: dburr: ugh.,.. i didnt mean it to sound that way..........
[15:40:10] mkrufky: dburr: think of the external patch + v4l-dvb master method as the most 'forward-compatible' method.....
[15:40:30] mkrufky: dburr: i wrote the support for your device, and i am only maintaining the patches against master
[15:40:51] juski: !trout Firefox useless-PoS
[15:40:51] ** MythLogBot slaps Firefox with a useless-PoS trout on behalf of juski... **
[15:41:04] mkrufky: but there are benefits to using the experimental tree if you have certain other hardware
[15:41:27] juski: mkrufky: after LRL I might just get around to doing some more testing with my pvr2000 card!
[15:41:32] juski: *might*
[15:41:43] juski: I hope so – hate leaving stuff unfinished
[15:41:48] mkrufky: juski: i had a patch waiting for you to test, but i dont recall where i threw it
[15:42:11] mkrufky: somewhere in http://linuxtv.org/~mkrufky/{some patch for juski}.patch
[15:42:12] juski: blimmin themes & cruft getting in the damn way the whole time :)
[15:42:22] dburr: mkrufky: I understand that and I am actually running v4l-dvb + xc-bluebird.patch + AU mods. I just found -experimental was easier to work with when I was trying to get things going then I created a patch against master
[15:42:59] mkrufky: dburr: hmmmm.... what does your patch against master look like? is it much different than mine + roger?
[15:43:37] mkrufky: dburr: i am curious .... can you email the patch to (my irc nick) at linuxtv dot org?
[15:44:27] dburr: mkrufky: It was basically Roger's patch with some extra ZL registers being set. I'll dig it up and e-mail it
[15:44:35] mkrufky: cool. thanks

[15:49:02] dburr: mkrufky: Still looking for the patch
[15:49:13] mkrufky: are you interested in improving support for your device? if so, i have a job for you
[15:49:28] mkrufky: (job w/ no pay ... volunteer )
[15:50:32] dburr: mkrufky: Sure, what's lacking from it?
[15:50:34] Beirdo: OMG, I got a bitchin headache
[15:50:58] mkrufky: dburr: well, a problem right now is lacking a good spec for the zl10353....
[15:51:19] Beirdo: who makes that?
[15:51:21] mkrufky: dburr: as a result, we had to add that zl353 gpio reset function in cxusb.c — certainly does not belong there
[15:51:24] Beirdo: is that Zarlink?
[15:51:32] mkrufky: Beirdo: originally zarlink, now intel
[15:51:57] Beirdo: ahh, too bad my contact at Zarlink moved on, I'm sure he would be happy to help if he were still there
[15:52:11] mkrufky: dburr: if you could help to move that code into zl10353.c , and have it conditional based ona setting in the zl10353_config struct, it would be a great help in mertging that driver into the official sources
[15:52:27] mkrufky: dburr: i believe the correct function in zl10353.c is set_frontend
[15:52:53] mkrufky: Beirdo: yeah... i think some people managed to find a spec, but i've only heard that the spec itself sucks
[15:53:29] mkrufky: Beirdo: and i'm in ntsc/atsc-land, so it's rather difficult for me to hack this around..... remote pc's arent always available in AU when i need them :-)
[15:54:23] mkrufky: dburr: it's just a matter of understanding those register writes and conditionizing the init sequence inside zl10353.c
[15:54:28] dburr: cxusb_xc3028_zl353_gpio_reset?
[15:54:33] mkrufky: dburr: yes
[15:54:37] Beirdo: ain't that the truth
[15:54:53] Beirdo: so if dburr is up for helping out, you could well get it done easier :)
[15:55:10] dburr: mkrufky: That doesn't do anything for the AU version, so the conditional will need to eval to false if it's in AU mode
[15:55:16] mkrufky: dburr: that function is a hack — it'spart of a callback into the xc3028-fe driver..... xc3028 knows it needs a reset, and after that firmware download + reset, it wants to reset thew demod
[15:55:23] mkrufky: dburr: argh ...
[15:55:32] Beirdo: xc3028? isn't that an FPGA?
[15:55:44] mkrufky: nope.. it's a silicon multi-std tuner, Beirdo
[15:55:54] mkrufky: Beirdo: supports everything EXCEPT QAM256
[15:56:15] Beirdo: sounds like the part id of a Xilinx FPGA to me :)
[15:56:21] ** laga chucks a wireless mouse at beirdo **
[15:56:31] mkrufky: lol
[15:56:39] Beirdo: heh, thanks, laga
[15:56:57] mkrufky: dburr: tbh, i havent taken close enough look at the AU fixup patch
[15:57:13] mkrufky: dburr: but it works for both au and non-au in the experimental tree?????
[15:57:27] mkrufky: dburr: ...or do you still need roger's patch against experimental?
[15:58:52] dburr: mkrufky: No, my patch from http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&m=117854857530700&w=2 is for experimental
[15:59:26] mkrufky: aha! i remember seeing this
[15:59:54] mkrufky: so, this breaks it for non-AU users :-/
[16:00:23] dburr: mkrufky: Seems that the changes I made to Roger's patch against master were unnecessary once we used the new firmware
[16:00:40] dburr: mkrufky: Yes, I had a later patch with an #ifdef AUSTRALIA
[16:01:00] mkrufky: lol... this makes it all so confusing for me
[16:01:20] dburr: mkrufky: Was going to change it to an insmod parameter but then have been busy getting MythTV going (hence why I am here :)
[16:01:29] mkrufky: what I want to do, is incorporate the changes needed into xc-bluebird.patch, so that users will have an easier time dealing with this
[16:02:10] mkrufky: oh man.... i totally forgot that roger asked me for remote support, and i forgot to send that patch to him to test!
[16:02:33] mkrufky: dburr: which remote comes with the dd4? is it the grey one or the black one?
[16:02:40] mkrufky: .... or it is the white one?
[16:03:19] dburr: mkrufky: Black crap one
[16:04:39] dburr: I like the iMON one better but I hope to be getting one of those Logitech monstrocities soon
[16:04:43] mkrufky: dburr: not this one, right? http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/products/HDTVRemote.aspx
[16:05:33] fryfrog: dburr: which one? I just got a 670 for my parents and have a 688 for myself
[16:05:55] fryfrog: i seem to have found the one mildly annoying part of rear projection TVs... they turn on real slow :/
[16:06:47] Merlin83b: Which is a minor inconvenience compared to the viewing angle issues.
[16:07:13] dburr: mkrufky: Mine looks identical except that the buttons are more purple than blue. Harmony 720 (one remote to rule them all)

[16:08:43] fryfrog: the 670 was like $110, so $20–30 more for a color LCD and a nicer look would have been nice
[16:08:55] fryfrog: what i dont get is... where did all their sub $100 remotes go?
[16:09:04] fryfrog: my 688 was like $60 or $70 tops
[16:09:12] mkrufky: dburr: but is the dvico remote that came with the dd4 the same as the dvico mce remote shown in that photo? (if the buttons are slightly diff colored, it doesnt matter)
[16:09:18] dburr: 720 is like $AUD400! That's ~$US300
[16:09:43] dburr: mkrufky: As I said, yes, identical, except for the button colour
[16:10:28] mkrufky: ah, ok... well, if you're interested, we can probably make that remote work right now
[16:10:33] fryfrog: their model #s don't really line up well, i am not sure if the "730" is one above the "720"
[16:11:22] dburr: I can't really test the DD4 remote support because my backend is on a different machine to my frontend where I have IR set up
[16:11:41] mkrufky: dburr: ok, no prob

[16:16:58] mkrufky: ?? why?
[16:17:25] mkrufky: the gpio call is local to cxusb only

[16:22:05] dburr: Are you saying that another function should be added to zl1053 that does a similar thing?
[16:22:53] mkrufky: dburr: i am saying that the i2c writes _only_ from inside cxusb_xc3028_zl353_gpio_reset should be moved into zl10353_set_frontend

[16:26:37] dburr: mkrufky: I think I follow you. You want a conditional to be set in c_x_z_gpio_reset then when zl1053.ko gets attached it will do the i2c init in there instead
[16:26:48] mkrufky: no
[16:26:57] mkrufky: cxusb should not be writing to the zl10353
[16:27:07] fryfrog: There is quite truely nothing better than
[16:27:07] fryfrog: channel nr that needs to be edited? No channels working for
[16:27:08] mkrufky: cxusb is currently writing to the zl10353, as a hack, and it works
[16:27:16] mkrufky: but that code must be moved into zl10353.c
[16:27:29] mkrufky: btu the gpio calls are not to be moved — they remain where they are
[16:27:34] dburr: That's what I'm saying. cxusb currently does the i2c writes to the ZL. Instead of doing the writes in c_x_z_gpio_reset, a conditional gets set
[16:27:44] dburr: And the zl1053 does the writing instead
[16:27:56] mkrufky: well, it's too late to set the conditonal over there
[16:28:12] mkrufky: instead, the setting would be passed to the demod driver thru zl10353_config
[16:28:20] mkrufky: in the zl10353_attach() call
[16:28:43] dburr: Too late to set the conditional where? In cxusb?
[16:29:14] mkrufky: it's possible that i may have not made sense here.... i will start again from the begining.

[16:30:47] mkrufky: there is init code that runs in zl10353_set_params ... this same code was copied into the c_x_z_gpio_reset and altered slightly ..... the duplicated (altered) should NOT be seen inside cxusb.c .... the dvb core will always call zl10353_set_params .... this function just needs to learn about the hack we're doing inside c_x_z_gpio_reset , so that we can remove it from c_x_z_gpio_reset
[16:31:20] mkrufky: and in order to tell zl10353 which method to use, you can make a setting in the zl10353_config struct
[16:31:47] dburr: Yes, and where does that setting in the zl1053_config struct get set?
[16:32:23] mkrufky: thats the point — the setting doesnt exist yet
[16:32:41] dburr: Yes, it is easy to make the setting exist. But where does it get set?
[16:32:46] mkrufky: if i had a nice datasheet, i would have liked to take care of that
[16:32:55] mkrufky: oh
[16:32:58] mkrufky: that is set in cxusb
[16:33:08] dburr: In c_x_z_gpio_reset?
[16:33:26] mkrufky: if you look at the dualdig4_frontend_attach function, is passes a struct zl10353_config to the zl10353_attach function
[16:33:43] mkrufky: that struct zl10353_config is declared above that

[16:43:53] RyeBrye: IT compiles, but with no video support it doesn't do much :)
[16:47:36] dburr: mkrufky: What do you think about using the no_tuner parameter? (no pll is connected to the secondary i2c bus). Only the DD4 seems to have it set
[16:49:06] dburr: mkrufky: Actually, I retract that. gl861 seems to use it.
[16:49:36] mkrufky: dburr: it's used in cx88-dvb also
[16:49:55] mkrufky: dburr: we should not use some old param for this new functionality — we should create a new one

[17:31:47] mid2: is anyone here running mythtv frontend on mac os x?
[17:31:48] fryfrog: is what I see, probably means they are doing maint or... deleting all the posts :p
[17:31:56] sebrock: I get, reason given by server: Permission denied
[17:31:59] antonsky: i know ive got to run mythtv throug the tvout of my computer but do the decoder work then in this case?
[17:32:09] fryfrog: sebrock: What is doing the NFS serving?

[17:33:39] fryfrog: antonsky: you sure that is a tv *out* on the dvb card? usually it is an svideo input
[17:33:55] fryfrog: not that there aren't any tv in cards that have tv out too (PVR350 for example)
[17:34:08] keith4_: mid2: they were talking about it in the dev channel.. there were some dependency problems with building it on os x, allegedly have been fixed
[17:34:12] antonsky: no, the dvb cards with decoder have an output
[17:34:18] fryfrog: ah
[17:34:21] juski: you can't run mythtv through the TV output of a FF DVB card
[17:34:30] juski: and there are no plans to support that either
[17:34:40] mid2: keith4; nothing has been fixed
[17:34:41] antonsky: there in america where many cards are analog they have got an tv in
[17:34:49] antonsky: okay
[17:34:57] fryfrog: really, even with the 350 that supports it in myth... it is so much harder, it is worth it to just get a $20–30 nvidia card with tv out
[17:35:00] juski: infact what little support there is in mythtv for hardware mpeg decoders may well vanish if nobody maintains it
[17:35:05] antonsky: i think my tvout on my computer ist

[17:44:46] mid2: RyeBye: you and me both..
[17:44:58] fryfrog: so it has to be the nfs *client* that doesn't like it...

[17:59:51] sebrock: nothing with NFS
[18:00:33] dburr: mkrufky: c_x_z_g_r needs to call fe->ops.set_frontend if ptr==2, right?
[18:01:41] mkrufky: dburr: no, dvb-core calls set_frontend already by itself...... the c_x_z_g_r callback is called from within xc3028_set_oarams, which itself, is called from within set_frontend
[18:02:38] dburr: mkrufky: Okay, so does that mean that ptr should only be 0 or 1 (RESET1 or RESET2)?
[18:02:52] mkrufky: yeah,,, we do nothing on =2
[18:03:13] mkrufky: we _should_ do nothing on =2, because it should have already been done in set_frontend
[18:03:38] mkrufky: you see, the code in my xc-bluebird patch, i consider a hack, because it is redoing the init sequence
[18:03:43] dburr: mkrufky: xc3028_set_mode explicitly calls gpio_reset(fe, 2)
[18:03:49] mkrufky: yup
[18:04:04] mkrufky: done worry about that, cxusb will ignore that call
[18:04:07] dburr: mkrufky: Right, so that can go.
[18:04:08] mkrufky: donT
[18:04:37] mkrufky: maybe... not sure
[18:04:53] dburr: mkrufky: ? Do you want it to stay for other backends?
[18:05:31] mkrufky: if we dont need it, then we dont need it
[18:05:47] mkrufky: i think it's only there right now to handle that zl353 hack.... if we fix the hack, then yes- we can kill it
[18:05:54] mkrufky: no, wait
[18:06:02] mkrufky: we still need it there inside xc3028 for the gpio
[18:06:21] mkrufky: all i am concerned about is the direct i2c writes to the zl353
[18:07:06] dburr: mkrufky: Doesn't fe->tuner_priv->cfg->gpio_reset resolve for c_x_z_g_r?
[18:07:40] mkrufky: yes
[18:08:16] dburr: mkrufky: Do you think that I was talking about removing gpio_reset altogether? I just meant the (fe, 2) call

[18:57:23] dburr: Does anyone know how to get MythDVD to come up if I insert a DVD when watching LiveTV?
[19:03:40] dburr: Alternatively, does anyone know how can I "blacklist" a removable device so that mythgallery doesn't try to display it and so it doesn't show up in the eject menu? I have a machine which mounts /usr off a flash drive but every time mythtv starts up, mythgallery finds it and tries to display it
[19:04:50] sebrock: g

[19:05:54] juski: well I'd not be surprised if you could differentiate between different types of media ;)
[19:06:21] dburr: The thing is that the partition is actually mounted at boot time by fstab... mythgallery just treats it specially because it is a "removable device"
[19:06:46] dburr: I want it to be treated like any other /usr off the HDD

[22:04:06] GreyFoxx: You can get boxes to do that yeah
[22:04:23] dan__t: What's this called, so I can read up more on it?
[22:04:43] GreyFoxx: often called an RF modulator, but that also refers to a lot of other stuff
[22:04:49] dan__t: Sure does heheh
[22:06:12] dan__t: I guess what I'm getting at is that I want to be able to push video content on my own channel lineup
[22:06:24] dan__t: It would be like advertising "channels", if that makes any sense.
[22:06:28] GreyFoxx: yup
[22:06:48] GreyFoxx: I've got afew friends that use them in their houses

[22:14:50] dan__t: I want like 10 "channels" in a single coax circuit
[22:15:32] kormoc: dan__t, typically you just use a hardware modulator for it, and just hookup a tv-out to the input of the modulator
[22:15:38] dan__t: And getting the signal into there would, I suppose from what GreyFoxx had mentioned, be the FM modulator's problem.
[22:15:46] kormoc: dan__t, getting software to do it is rather hard, as it's a hardware task
[22:15:57] GreyFoxx: RF modulator, not FM
[22:15:58] dan__t: Yep, I completely understand.
[22:15:59] GreyFoxx: :)
[22:16:30] dan__t: d'oh, guess the job just got a lot more complicated.
[22:16:51] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: plus you'd need a beefy system(s) to pump the modulator(s) with 10 'live' feeds

[22:19:18] knowledgejunkie: dan_t: might be easier in the long run to use some sort of IP-based system, like multicasting, and have a computer pick up the broadcast instead of an RF tuner
[22:19:31] kormoc: shurbann, you should just ask the question, not state you have a question
[22:19:46] dan__t: knowledgejunkie, I'm not going to take over the air channels and modulate them to a different channel.
[22:19:59] dan__t: Through those "channels" I'll be "broadcasting" on my own private coax network, some content
[22:20:22] shurbann: I want my pc running mythtv to record everything to my NAS a Synology DS107+ is this possible?
[22:20:27] HalonChilled (HalonChilled!n=HalonChi@ool-44c7f32f.dyn.optonline.net) has left #mythtv-users ()
[22:20:36] kormoc: just make sure you're disconnected from the cable co when you do that. They frown on added noise on the line
[22:20:47] shurbann: is the datransfer of 100Mb over LAN enough?
[22:20:51] dan__t: No no, the TVs have a seperate input.
[22:20:54] kormoc: shurbann, sure
[22:21:06] dan__t: Its for a private broadcast of sorts
[22:21:30] dan__t: No copy protected content will be shown, it is company produced by this single company.
[22:21:43] kormoc: dan__t, how's that relate to what I said?
[22:21:46] dan__t: So I want to play digital videos of said content over different "channels" in this coax loop.
[22:22:02] dan__t: uh, how's any of this related to what you said?
[22:22:13] shurbann: hmm cause I know a friend of mine has some bad experience with his NAS a Lacie not being able to cope with the transfer speed. It is till a question if the bottleneck is the speed of the cheap NAS (Pacie) or the LN
[22:22:16] shurbann: LAN*
[22:22:16] dan__t: That coax loop is *mine*, not the cable company's. I'm not using their medium for delivery. F them.
[22:22:34] shurbann: Pacie=Lacie
[22:22:51] kormoc: dan__t, right, just that typically if it's in house wiring, then it's still hooked up at the junction box.
[22:23:14] shurbann: kormoc: you're saying sure, but can you back this up?
[22:23:31] dan__t: OK, well, I'm not worried about the cable company, I really don't care about them, my goal hasn't the slightest bit of conflict or concern with them, it is a non-issue entirely.
[22:23:40] shurbann: kormoc: with some example. Or are you using this setup?
[22:24:53] kormoc: shurbann, let's say you are recording at 2200 kbit a second, standard bitrate, that's 2.148 mbit a second, well under 100 mbit, HD is typically 20mbit a second or less. What more do you want?
[22:25:04] ** kormoc shrugs at dan__t **
[22:25:24] dan__t: I quite simply want to, over my own medium, create different "channels" which play content form a single point – a computer – with that content being video off of disk, such as an AVI or MPEG or some such.
[22:25:32] kormoc: dan__t, Personally, I don't like irate cable co folks showing up at my door with the police due to me forgetting to remove a wire, hence my warning
[22:25:53] dan__t: I apprecaite your concern, but I don't know how else to stress that I have my own medium.
[22:26:09] dan__t: One which does not even touch anything that the cable co may be using, inside or outside of my house.
[22:26:47] dan__t: And on *THAT* medium, is which I wish to deploy my little pet project.
[22:26:50] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: how many simultaneous screens?
[22:27:20] dan__t: I'd say maybe six, but it really doesn't matter if I can boost the line quality and signal right?
[22:27:26] dan__t: I mean if needed

[22:28:04] shurbann: kormoc: ok. You're right. From where the 2200kb/s? Is that the normal speed recording speed of MythTV?

[22:30:18] eelriver (eelriver!n=eelriver@pdpc/supporter/active/eelriver) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving")
[22:30:51] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: how to make this relevant to MythTV :)
[22:31:41] dan__t: Oh, yeah, then there's that. I guess what I was getting at initially is if it was possible for MythTV to handle the streaming of those "channels", being of seperate video feeds, over a private coax network.
[22:31:55] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: using mythbackend to serve the media and have frontend clients to view the media on-demand rather than using live RF channels
[22:31:57] dan__t: MythTV having the ability to do so if of course hardware requirements and stuff were met
[22:32:24] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: what about muxing the 10 channels into a MPEG2 transport stream, multicasting that, and having any clients just 'tune' into that?
[22:32:38] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: over an IP network instead of coax
[22:32:40] dan__t: because I want to avoid a client machine being placed next to each tv
[22:32:58] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: right, so it *has* to be coax based
[22:33:16] Arfdee: uhh
[22:33:17] Arfdee: i installed myth
[22:33:22] Arfdee: but there apparently is no myth database?
[22:33:24] dan__t: Well, it has to be, if I don't want all the TVs to have their own client
[22:34:03] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: how about a few mythbackend servers serving the media, one frontend per channel playing a playlist directly into an RF-modulator, which then distributes the channels over the coax
[22:34:25] Arfdee: i installed all the myth rpms
[22:34:31] Arfdee: but it seems there is no database?

[22:35:36] dan__t: knowledgejunkie, I think that would work.
[22:35:40] dan__t: I see where you're going with that.
[22:35:41] rsdvd: arfdee : look for mc.sql and run that through mysql.....it will create the db if the rpms didn;t
[22:36:31] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: it would distribute the load on the myth boxen, and give you a useable signal you could modulate. you'd just need to figure the best way of getting the singal into the modulator
[22:36:36] dan__t: So with an RF modulator is it possible to like set them to "broadcast" on which ever channel I want, or what
[22:37:15] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: should be able to set the 'channel' – and I guess you get more input types (VGA/s-video/composite) the more you pay

[22:42:34] juski: wow and to think I've not once cracked a joke at zap2it users' expense

[22:43:02] knowledgejunkie: juski: really? I've not been on much
[22:43:17] knowledgejunkie: juski: how so?
[22:43:23] juski: the TV licence
[22:43:34] juski: radiotimes.com is owned by the BBC innit?
[22:44:00] juski: or am I barking up the wrong arboric entity?

[22:45:17] laga: juski: heh
[22:45:20] knowledgejunkie: juski: The RT is owned by BBC Magzines, which is owned by the BBC, and whose profits are returned to the licence-fee payer
[22:45:38] laga: juski: well, the GF does have a problem now, though. she ordered some shirts for 80 pounds from the UK :P
[22:45:42] juski: knowledgejunkie: so we do kinda pay, in a roundabout way.. ish
[22:45:51] knowledgejunkie: juski: but the licence fee is required to receive TV – listings are irrelevant
[22:46:01] juski: £80 worth of shirts used to be like one shirt a few years ago for me
[22:46:09] knowledgejunkie: juski: if there were no listings, you still have to pay
[22:46:19] juski: true
[22:46:24] laga: juski: now it's walmart, huh? :)
[22:46:33] juski: laga: not quite
[22:46:51] knowledgejunkie: juski: same with EIT data
[22:47:18] juski: you seen those DAB radios with the EPG ?
[22:47:38] juski: why didn't they have that when I was a kid huh?
[22:47:40] knowledgejunkie: juski: although I've no idea about the data arrangements the RT have in place with each TV company
[22:48:13] juski: knowledgejunkie: they more than likely pay to be in there. we should be eternally grateful they do what they do for us tho
[22:48:18] juski: I know I am :)
[22:48:21] knowledgejunkie: juski: totally
[22:50:16] knowledgejunkie: juski: now I'm a bit stupid here, but I would thought it would be in a commerical TV company's interests to be listed – more eyeballs seeing the listings = more people watching TV = more people watching ads (even taking into account devices to allow ad-skipping)
[22:51:06] juski: yesh but some evil empires (like in the USA) see all information as being of financial value to somebody
[22:51:38] juski: they'd have charged money for subtitles if they could have got away with it, one imagines
[22:52:52] ** Dibblah considers unsubscribing from -users... **
[22:53:09] knowledgejunkie: juski: if they charged for removing DOGs/in-program coming up ads/squashed credits i'd probably pay though!

[22:54:05] knowledgejunkie: juski: same here
[22:54:22] juski: Arfdee: if you want mytthv to know what's on & when you better get some tv guide data from somewhere

[22:57:57] Arfdee: knowledgejunkie, just ALSA:default for audio output device?

[22:58:02] dan__t: thanks again, knowledgejunkie

[22:59:16] knowledgejunkie: dan__t: what – like I suggested?:)
[22:59:17] dan__t: Find some small EPIA solid state devices and make sure they have a decent video card in them, and bam, it's all good.
[22:59:22] juski: dan__t: depends how many independant sources you want to watch
[22:59:24] dan__t: Yeah, I wasn't thinking about that.
[22:59:34] dan__t: I'm thinking like 10 sources at any given time.
[22:59:45] dan__t: each client streaming, of course, only one source at a time
[22:59:48] juski: generally you need a tuner per frontend that wants to watch livetv
[22:59:54] dan__t: Yep.
[23:00:06] dan__t: I think I paid 130 for each of my Hauppauge 130's
[23:00:10] dan__t: That'll work just fine
[23:00:28] dan__t: $300 for a "decent" EPIA machine with case, ram, and flash drive
