[00:57:20] jeffery: d1n0, its not based on any distro.. mythtv is a software
[00:57:44] jeffery: but ofcourse there are distros specific for mythv
[00:58:07] jeffery: like mythdora and mythbuntu
[00:58:25] d1n0: mythbuntu is probably the one i gotta go for then

[01:12:50] d1n0: kormoc: allready 70% on mythbuntu
[01:19:30] ali1234: d1n0: mythbuntu is much easier than installing myth on a normal ubuntu
[01:19:43] d1n0: ali1234: i thought so :)
[01:20:18] ali1234: for example, mythbuntu install cd includes nvidia driver and vlc. with regular ubuntu you have to install them afterwards.
[01:20:48] d1n0: should i use the amd64 version if i got amd64?
[01:20:57] ali1234: er...... yes?
[01:21:06] d1n0: does it run better?
[01:21:12] d1n0: what about issues with 64bit?
[01:21:16] ali1234: no idea i dont have amd64
[01:21:38] ali1234: i would guess that everything myth related works, otherwise they wouldn;t make an amd64 version
[01:22:17] d1n0: btw, i've got ati hd2400xt.. you know if will work properly?
[01:22:29] ali1234: no idea i use nvidia
[01:25:51] d1n0: ok, anyone else?
[01:26:01] iamlindoro: ati sucks in linux, the drivers blow (although there is hope that that will improve in the future), you will likely run into issues... that's why almost all of us use nVidia ;) But hey, it's worth a shot.
[01:26:52] ali1234: of course nvidia has it's problems too, just try playing interlaced video on an interlaced display without deinterlacing it
[01:27:31] iamlindoro: Basically, you'll be lucky if you can get it to display television and not crash on you/give you bizarre gibberish instead of video/etc.... you certainly will *not* have any of that fancy hardware acceleration of Mpeg-2 or x.264 that you paid for
[01:28:19] iamlindoro: Because believe me, the ability to watch tv without crashes/major glitches when running myth and an ATI card makes you one of an extremely lucky few
[01:30:01] ali1234: don't use "TV out" aka composite/s-video – use the VGA connector with an adapter and an appropriate modeline. better quality, and no need for special drivers

[01:33:54] d1n0: cant i use dvi -> hdmi ?
[01:34:09] ali1234: sure if you want
[01:34:29] ali1234: dvi is just a connector
[01:34:36] iamlindoro: But regardless of what connector you use, the ATI driver stinks, and causes issues
[01:34:48] d1n0: i hear they release new drivers every month now
[01:35:01] d1n0: im gonna go for fullhd
[01:35:17] iamlindoro: They have released *one* new driver that has improved things, but it's not even close to on par with the nVidia cards/drivers
[01:35:31] iamlindoro: Whether they will release every month, well... time will tell.
[01:35:41] iamlindoro: But still, for the first time in a while, there's hope
[01:35:56] d1n0: hope is good
[01:36:01] iamlindoro: And this is from a jilted ex-ATI owner, so believe me I would love to have it be equal :)
[01:36:51] ali1234: i have an ATI card in my linux devel machine at work and it's rock solid. it runs compiz no problem... of course it's a 5 year old card with the open source driver...
[01:37:09] iamlindoro: Then you are the exception and not the rule
[01:37:33] ali1234: the secret is not to buy the latest and greatest hardware and expect it to work with linux
[01:37:35] iamlindoro: and the OSS driver makes a difference... and the OSS driver won't support his card :)

[01:41:52] wsuetholz: I have a problem with hdhomerun recording on the wrong backend
[01:43:11] d1n0: i've got a nvidia 8800gts card on my way for this computer.. the hd2400xt was just a cheap card with hdsupport i needed at the time
[01:43:26] iamlindoro: Ah, there you go, that will work well
[01:43:42] iamlindoro: Overkill, but it'll work well :)
[01:43:48] d1n0: not gonna use the 8800gts in the htpc
[01:44:01] d1n0: or i might
[01:44:06] d1n0: we'll see
[01:44:07] jeffery: how can I verify that the reception I am receiving is HDTV and not normal tv?
[01:44:54] ali1234: good question
[01:45:32] ali1234: i don't know if there is a way from within mythtv frontend
[01:45:51] iamlindoro: Heh, looking at it would be the primary cue :) ffmpeg -i filename will give you the resolution and framerate
[01:45:55] ali1234: what you would need to do is record some and then feed the recording into a program that can tell you information about the video stream
[01:46:50] ali1234: then again, if you can;t tell just by looking at it, what difference does it make?
[01:47:14] wsuetholz: the hostname in the capturecard table is set correctly
[01:47:19] t0ny-p40: I doing a tripple boot, any one here able to mount their windows partion with tripple booting?
[01:47:32] t0ny-p40: oops
[01:47:36] t0ny-p40: wrong room
[01:47:38] wsuetholz: I had a short discussion with justinh earlier about this
[01:47:39] d1n0: can i get sound through dvi -> hdmi with mythtv?
[01:47:41] t0ny-p40: Stupid irssi.

[01:48:09] iamlindoro: no, but that's not mythtv's limitation, that's hardware's :)
[01:48:11] wsuetholz: you can purchase a device though
[01:48:42] wsuetholz: it costs > $200 it has audio and dvi inputs and hdmi output

[02:14:20] mzb_d800: jeffery: install gkrellmd on your tuner backend (or on the nfs server the recording is saved to ... if that's a different machine + applies;) ... in my experience with .au dvb, SD is about 700/800 KB/s and HD is about twice that.

[02:15:27] mzb_d800: (*as* it happens)
[02:16:05] jeffery: mzb_d800, g'day.. if the resolution is higher does that mean its HD ?

[02:16:29] mzb_d800: SD should be 720x576 (iirc)
[02:16:50] mzb_d800: (for PAL .au)
[02:17:08] jeffery: I ran ffmpeg command and it returns: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576 .... I am guessing that is not HD
[02:17:21] jeffery: k
[02:17:23] mzb_d800: I wouldn't think so
[02:17:39] jeffery: do you happen to get HD on all aussie channels ?
[02:17:48] mzb_d800: (ps: gday;)
[02:17:49] jeffery: like 7 9 and 10 ?
[02:18:00] mzb_d800: err

[02:20:06] mzb_d800: I've only recorded a couple of samples to prove the point, I don't have a FE fast enough to watch live
[02:20:53] fryfrog: a digital hd broadcasting station doesn't have to be *sending* hd at all times :/
[02:20:54] mzb_d800: but I can record and then transcode to a low res if I have to (if I'm using the same transport for something else;)
[02:21:07] fryfrog: you kind of need to wait for a show you *know* would be in hd, record it and then compare file sizes
[02:21:18] fryfrog: SD is 1–2G/hr, HD will be 7–9G/hr

[02:21:55] mzb_d800: using the method I suggested before will guarantee the result, regardless
[02:21:58] fryfrog: but really, if you play back something in SD and something in HD, you *will* see the difference
[02:22:28] mzb_d800: ie. watching the bandwidth

[02:26:47] mzb_d800: and afaik, even if an SD programme is shown on an HD channel, it's still converted by the station into HD for transmission ... but then I'm only going on gossip for that one ;)
[02:27:23] mzb_d800: either way ... the bandwidth of the stream being recorded to disk should show the difference

[02:28:42] floppyears: hi guys
[02:29:11] floppyears: how can I make it so that a frontend uses a remote tuner for a backend instead of the local tuner ?
[02:30:08] mzb: start a 2nd lircd which reads over the network
[02:30:17] mzb: google for lircd network
[02:30:34] mzb: oop
[02:30:35] mzb: s
[02:30:40] mzb: sorry, not reading
[02:31:00] mzb: change your tuner priorities
[02:31:38] jeffery: I think the last time I recorded a show for approx 7 hours it totalled 22GB... I assume that is HD as it was wide screen
[02:32:03] mzb: just because it's wide doesn't mean it's HD
[02:33:20] mzb: and if you use the figures I quoted above and do some sums, you'll *know* that 22GB would have to be SD
[02:33:54] mzb: ie: 1.6*60*60*7 = 40320
[02:34:22] mzb: whereas: 0.8*60*60*7 = 20160
[02:34:31] jeffery: mzb, interesting I just tested that recording and its only "720x576"
[02:34:42] mzb: (although my figures are rough, you get the idea
[02:34:58] mzb: yes, widescreen is still the same resolution
[02:34:59] jeffery: yep
[02:35:06] mzb: the aspect ration is different
[02:35:12] mzb: s/ratio
[02:35:55] mzb: wikipedia could probably explain that for you better than I can

[02:38:45] jeffery: mzb, does HD also depend on the reception.. do I need extra boosters to get HD quality?
[02:38:55] mzb: no
[02:38:59] jeffery: k
[02:39:23] mzb: if your tuner already receives SD, then it *should* be capable of doing HD
[02:39:27] mzb: although
[02:39:56] mzb: that being said, a higher bandwidth signal does probably require a better quality signal
[02:40:04] mzb: I've not had that problem ;P
[02:40:21] mzb: (95% minimum)
[02:40:23] amrit|wrk is now known as amrit|afk
[02:40:31] floppyears: mzb: I've tried
[02:40:34] floppyears: I set the tuner to -7
[02:40:46] floppyears: but it still chooses the local tuner over the tuner in another backend :(
[02:40:59] jeffery: mzb, on normal channels when I check the recption it always says 65% even thought the quality of the reception is fine
[02:41:39] mzb: there's some sort of formula involved in which tuner is chosen, and priorities all over the place ... I'm also reasonably sure the answer is the wiki (I could be wrong)
[02:42:09] mzb: jeffery: increase the tuning delay to get "real" figures
[02:42:24] floppyears: anybody ?
[02:42:35] mzb: floppyears ^^
[02:43:34] mzb: I've got my tuner selection working by trial and error ... keep fiddling! ;)
[02:44:05] jeffery: mzb, will do when I get home this evening
[02:45:41] floppyears: mzb: thanks
[02:47:07] mzb_d800: sorry I can't spell out the answer for you ... I really only use one tuner ... (which does dvb so I can use multirec to get multiple streams from the same transport) ... the other being a bt848 framegrabber which is pretty useless in it's current location (WIP)
[02:47:32] mzb_d800: new tuner on it's way (au$23 delivered!!! :))
[02:47:37] pogonip__: How does Mythtv send channel info to lirc?

[05:05:03] clever: it cut my free space in half pretty much

[05:08:42] Aval0n: 1100 bitrate is a tad high for analog isn't it?

[05:08:56] Aval0n: err
[05:08:57] Aval0n: sorry

[16:19:52] jheizer: I know CF to IDE are very common, but you don't here much about SDD
[16:20:04] justinh: just get a DoM man
[16:20:07] jheizer: I'm assuming they would work the same and just as good
[16:20:09] Matt: I've used CF-IDE
[16:20:14] justinh: just get a DoM man

[16:20:40] Matt: yup
[16:20:41] SiD3WiNDR: sd to ide would involve a little more magic I'd imagine

[16:21:08] jheizer: what is DoM?
[16:21:15] justinh: disk-on-module
[16:21:23] Matt: CF-IDE adaptors are pretty much just a matter of remapping pins

[16:24:03] djbeenie: whoops wrong channel
[16:24:24] jheizer: Hmmm, so no SD users. I just rather buy and extra SD card than a POS CF
[16:24:36] jheizer: and might have one already actually
[16:24:56] justinh: just buy a DoM man
[16:25:05] Matt: djbeenie, check out the vfat section of mount(8)

[18:21:41] toma: no problem with that
[18:21:51] seth|web: if your lookijng for an all-in-one myth distro, knoppmyth is what I recommend, I had issues before with mythdora, as well as mythbuntu, knoppmyth just works, hehe
[18:21:54] ali1234: which is pretty annoying when you cant stop it from endlessly trying to log in and autoload mythtv
[18:22:34] toma: ok, so say that i switch, what happens with the currently recorded programs?
[18:23:43] ali1234: it depends
[18:24:14] toma: i've the actual recordings on a separate partition
[18:24:30] ali1234: if you reinstalling using "full disk" then obviously they get deleted. if you have a separate recordings partition, then they wont. but you'll have to export the information from the myth database first, if you want them to just magically appear in the new install
[18:24:50] ali1234: i think there's a tool you can use, but since i've never done this...
[18:25:06] toma: ok so i should dump the db and reload it in the new install?
[18:25:14] toma: anything else i need to preserve?
[18:25:25] ali1234: ~/.mythtv/
[18:25:40] toma: k
[18:26:19] ali1234: i think there's a guide on the web somewhere

[19:10:40] justinh: fake tabbed browsing?
[19:10:54] directhex: it's not ie6
[19:10:55] justinh: the ability to slow a whole machine down with pages with less content?
[19:10:55] iamlindoro_: Hrm, linuxMCE is claiming HD-DVD and Blu-ray playback in their next release... I wonder how they plan to manage that without some major, painful caveats
[19:11:11] Tronic: IE7's CSS is b0rked in different ways than IE6's. It's even close to standards-conforming, but the hacks that used to work with IE6 don't work with it anymore.
[19:11:19] directhex: iamlindoro, who said anything about " without some major, painful caveats"?
[19:11:27] iamlindoro_: ah, there we are :)
[19:11:34] directhex: Tronic, aye. my new site design is 97% ie7 compatible with 0 tweaks
[19:11:41] justinh: iamlindoro_: by hosting the binaries on a server in the continent of Ongo-Bongo where the DMCA doesn't apply anything's possible
[19:11:51] dr_lulz: Tronic: 3 times? in my case i only needed this: http://data.gag-abi08.de/site/style-ie.css
[19:12:08] justinh: dr_lulz: the point is, to even need TWO is a pain in the rectum
[19:12:20] dr_lulz: yeah, i concur
[19:12:32] Tronic: dr_lulz: The width attribute has different meaning in IE6 and IE7. Which one is that for?
[19:12:42] ali1234: if you need css hacks to make your website look "right" chances are you are worrying to much about the layout and neglecting the content
[19:12:44] iamlindoro_: Heh, I'm less worried about the DMCA and more worried about the fact that *I* currently have to rip the movies, as well as run a patched-as-heck version of mplayer and ffmpeg to make it work.
[19:12:53] justinh: ali1234: roflmao
[19:12:59] iamlindoro_: And as far as I know, I'm on the bleeding edge, sooooo
[19:13:05] dr_lulz: Tronic: the lines under the links on the top left here: http://gag-abi08.de/
[19:13:23] Tronic: dr_lulz: But which IE version?

[19:13:39] justinh: ali1234: I suppose your ideal websites are just plain text with those 'hyperlink' thingies :P
[19:13:40] Tronic: (I don't have any IE, so I can't see what your site looks with them)
[19:13:42] dr_lulz: Tronic: thats for IE6
[19:14:04] Tronic: Okay, so you get what min-width is supposed to give you (according to CSS specs).
[19:14:13] ali1234: justinh: they are the only ones that render properly on mobile browsers. also they load fast over gprs.
[19:14:23] justinh: who gives a damn about mobile users?
[19:14:24] dr_lulz: Tronic: if i leave that extra css away, it wil make the lines too long, and then put the right (content)div under the left(links, dates etc) div
[19:14:55] ali1234: any website that has "styling" is either 6 times winder than the width of the screen, or has one word per line of text
[19:15:02] justinh: if anything these days people should be paying a load more attention to accessibility for less-abled people
[19:15:10] dr_lulz: i'm glad i dont do any webdesign in the first place
[19:15:13] justinh: never mind fecking 'mobile' content
[19:15:23] ali1234: 'mobile' content is half the problem
[19:15:23] Tronic: Now, if you want to do the same thing in IE7, what do you do? IIRC, it still does not support min-width, but it changes the meaning of width to what it is supposed to be (i.e. exactly that width, no more, no less).
[19:15:29] dr_lulz: i'd shoot myself or run amok at some point in time if i had to do this more often
[19:15:42] ali1234: the best way to make pages render okay on a mobile browser is to filter all the css out of them
[19:15:42] kormoc: ali1234, I'll point out that pocket opera supports CSS just fine
[19:15:51] dr_lulz: Tronic: it worked fine in IE7 without modifications
[19:16:00] kormoc: ali1234, and mythweb's mobile hooks are css and works fine on a wide array of mobile devices
[19:16:31] ali1234: i've never tried mythweb on my phone, because my myth box is not connected to the internet... but if you say so...
[19:18:47] ali1234: incidentally, does mythweb support previews/streaming to the firefox vlc plugin?
[19:19:05] Cyberai: Would anyone know where I could get information on how to do more over firewire with the Motorola 6100 STB's than just change channels? I'd really like to be able to tell it to reboot.
[19:19:33] amrit|zzz is now known as amrit|wrk
[19:19:34] ali1234: Cyberai: you could probably make it crash quite easily... that might be enough to reboot it
[19:20:03] Cyberai: ali1234, hmmmm, i't an idea
[19:20:14] Cyberai: hadn't thought of that
[19:20:19] ali1234: firewire just gives you access to an area of the devices memory
[19:20:35] Cyberai: so in theory, how would I crash it?
[19:20:35] ali1234: iirc. that makes firewire quite insecure...
[19:20:44] ali1234: just write garbage to it's memory :)
[19:21:36] justinh: lol @ an email asking where the clock has gone in blootube-wide

[19:23:56] ali1234: Cyberai: actually if you find out about the device's CPU and interrupts and stuff it should be quite easy to reboot it properly
[19:24:22] Cyberai: yeah, if I were a programmer. I can barely write a decent shell script.
[19:24:25] ali1234: well, compared with doing the same with a USB (self powered) device anyway
[19:24:29] Cyberai: I'm struggling here
[19:26:01] Cyberai: I was hoping for a modification to 6200ch
[19:26:19] ali1234: i dont know what that is :)
[19:26:51] Cyberai: 6200ch is the c program used to talk to the motorola 6100 and 6200 series boxes to tell them to change the channel.
[19:27:43] ali1234: well yeah, eventually you would be able to put the changes into that code
[19:28:00] Cyberai: would be nice if I could just use "6200ch $GARBAGE" to cause it to say "WTF?" and reboot.
[19:28:24] ali1234: it's not quite that simple because presumably that tool verifies it's input to stop you doing that
[19:28:43] kormoc: ali1234, mythweb supports streaming of flash video and raw mpeg video, no idea about the ff plugin
[19:28:49] Cyberai: hmmm, maybe I can look at tthat code and kill the verification
[19:29:06] ali1234: kormoc: well vlc plugin for ff supports anything vlc does. but it can be embedded in an html page
[19:29:47] ali1234: Cyberai: be careful... you could potentially brick your tuner doing this
[19:30:16] ** kormoc hardly thinks so **
[19:30:51] Cyberai: yeah, that seems unlikely
[19:31:00] ali1234: yeah it would require that the random data you send "just happens" to be the code that reprograms the firmware flash chip... but it is possible
[19:31:14] ali1234: anyway, dont say i didnt warn you
[19:31:18] Cyberai: besides, I can always call them and say it's broken and they have to give me a new one
[19:31:25] Cyberai: it's like a rental car  :)
[19:31:37] ali1234: they could just terminate your contract instead :)
[19:31:54] Cyberai: nah, they've been pretty mellow
[19:32:22] Cyberai: besides, how would they know? They gonna send it to motorola forensics or are they just gonna say "whopps, fried box' and chuck it?
[19:32:42] Cyberai: I'm good at playing stupid
[19:32:51] ali1234: yeah but if you do it three times in one week they will just write you off as too expensive a customer...
[19:32:54] Cyberai: "I was just watching the simpsons and it broke"
[19:33:01] ali1234: doesnt matter if it was accidental or not
[19:33:01] Cyberai: lol
[19:33:12] Cyberai: I think I'll stop if I fry ojne
[19:34:38] ali1234: anyways... given that you can access the device's main memory... if all you want to do is crash it, all you have to do is find out where the watchdog timer is and trip it
[19:35:25] Cyberai: beyond my level of sophistication
[19:35:43] ali1234: okay do you know what interrupts are?
[19:35:51] Cyberai: yeah, in theory
[19:36:06] kormoc (kormoc!n=kormoc@unaffiliated/kormoc) has quit ()
[19:36:09] ali1234: timers?
[19:36:12] Cyberai: nope
[19:37:10] ali1234: basically, a hardware timer will increment with every clock cycle. when it overflows (or reaches it's maximum value) it triggers an interrupt, or in the case of the watchdog, it resets the cpu
[19:37:21] Cyberai: I see
[19:37:46] ali1234: this is so that the box can never get stuck. the firmware has to keep reseting the watchdog timer to 0 to stop the box reseting. if that doesnt happen, the box is assumed "locked up" and rebooted
[19:38:27] Cyberai: I see, so you set it to a non-zero value and it reboots
[19:38:47] ali1234: no. you set it to the maximum value it can store
[19:38:52] Cyberai: ah
[19:39:01] ali1234: otherwise it will maybe be reset by the OS

[19:40:24] ali1234: the problem is the watchdog timer is usually stored in a cpu register so you have to figure out how to execute a couple of arbitrary instructions. that should not be too hard if you know the memory layout of the device... and that can be found by looking up the cpu
[19:41:43] floppyears: hi
[19:42:06] ali1234: it's possible whoever wrote 6200ch.c has already done a lot of this work...
[19:42:07] floppyears: do any of you guys know how to make it so that livetv in a slave backend uses one of the tuners from the master backend ?
[19:45:36] mkrufky: floppyears: you can do it this way — 1) set up the option where live tv will use the tuner least likely to be used for a recording
[19:45:55] mkrufky: floppyears: then, pick the tuner on your master backend, and set it to the lowest priority

[19:46:57] Cyberai: yeah, finding out who wrote 6200ch.c has been hard
[19:47:06] ali1234: i can't even find a copy of it

[21:16:48] iamlindoro_: And, of course, making sure it points at the right lirc device for you
[21:17:04] seth|web: like this: http://www.pastebin.ca/772499

[21:17:17] ** seth|web can't beleive it can be that easy **
[21:18:13] iamlindoro_: well, I dunno if the dev will be /dev/irblasterd... the question is, what's the device that your mceusb2 RECEIVER lives at? Probably /dev/lircd, no?
[21:18:59] seth|web: it is at /dev/lirc0 so i would change my channel script to reflect the new device, and it will know to use the REMOTE_NAME called for in lircd.conf this time
[21:19:07] iamlindoro_: Because the mceusb transmitter occupies the exact same dev node... so if your mceusb receiver is at /dev/lircd, then that's ALSO where the transmitter lives
[21:19:31] iamlindoro_: the mceusb one, anyway
[21:19:50] seth|web: and does it use, both outputs, (there are 2 ir blasters included with it) or would that fall under a different /dev entry
[21:20:04] iamlindoro_: It only uses one, can't use the other, only #1
[21:20:11] seth|web: ok, thats cool
[21:20:23] seth|web: I hope this works for me, thanks for the information
[21:20:33] iamlindoro_: anyway, hold on, and what is your dish remote called in whatever conf file?
[21:20:47] iamlindoro_: I will edit the script and show you how I *think* it should work for you
[21:20:49] seth|web: i have "non-production" downtime tonight between 11pm and 3am, so I will try it then
[21:20:56] seth|web: i can always roll back if it borks up
[21:21:00] seth|web: ;-)
[21:21:39] seth|web: the dish code I use is here : http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dishnet/SAT_301
[21:21:46] iamlindoro_: What's that remote called in irblasterd.conf, your dish one?
[21:21:55] iamlindoro_: OK, and you just cut and pasted?
[21:22:44] iamlindoro_: Then your channel change script should look like this: http://www.pastebin.ca/772507

[21:24:17] iamlindoro_: That is, like this: http://www.pastebin.ca/772512
[21:25:20] iamlindoro_: of course, that will likely only work when you merge that remote code into lircd.conf
[21:25:36] Kernel: everything seems to have a yellow tint ......i cant find out any info on how i can fix this....its even yellow when i use mplayer to watch straight from the card. im using a pvr-150 and ivtv
[21:25:51] Kernel: the picture quality looks horrible.
[21:28:34] iamlindoro_: Kernel, it's clearly not a mythtv issue, but maybe something here will help you: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=PictureQualityIssues
[21:29:05] seth|web: thanks iamlindoro , this may work for me. It also opens up a new door, I have 2 receivers, if i decide to keep my existing serial blaster, i can isolate the eyes from each other, and use both receivers

[21:30:02] seth|web: I had the discoloration issue, updateing the ivtv drivers helped

[21:31:56] iamlindoro_: Seth, the other thing is, if you're controlling two boxes with different remote codes, you shouldn't even need to isolate the emitters
[21:32:08] iamlindoro_: But if they're the same, of course, you will. Tinfoil works really well.

[21:32:37] seth|web: well, that is a whole other issue, I know I can change the remote codes for each box, but I am not sure how to make the appropriate changes for the second set of codes.
[21:32:52] seth|web: I have been pondering this, and googling it to no real success
[21:33:08] iamlindoro_: Well, they are two of the same type of box, or two different types?
[21:33:11] seth|web: dish makes it easy to change the remote codes, I guess I need to use irrecord, to captuer the changed codes
[21:33:22] iamlindoro_: Yeah, that would work
[21:33:29] seth|web: they bith work with that remote code i linked earlier
[21:33:37] seth|web: er both
[21:33:46] iamlindoro_: Ah, yeah, then if you could get the box to take a different set, that would probably be simples
[21:33:47] iamlindoro_: t
[21:33:53] seth|web: I have a dish 522 receiver, and a echostar 3100, remote code 1 operates both
[21:34:20] iamlindoro_: Then you could just copy the script to another, change the remote name, point it at a different device and everything should work
[21:34:38] seth|web: i know how to channge the code, the question would be getting the correct lirc information
[21:35:03] seth|web: 301.sh and 3100.sh
[21:35:32] seth|web: and I am guessing if i cvhange the remote code to something like 3 the irrecord app should capture the changes to a file I specify
[21:35:52] iamlindoro_: you could just irrecord -d /dev/whatevarthereceiveris newcode.conf
[21:36:03] iamlindoro_: then cut contents of newcode.conf out and dump them at the end of lircd.conf
[21:36:51] seth|web: i have been playing with the idea the standard 301 codes start with 0x000 which means "remote code 1" and "remote code 3" uses 0x100 as the lead set on all commands, perhaps just changing those first 4 digits would do it

[23:32:40] iamlindoro_: Just be aware that no matter what you choose, PATIENCE is the number one requirement for myth... This is software that is supposed to be FUN to tweak to get working... if you want it to be "perfect" right away you might get frustrated
[23:32:43] tempb0y: the onle i'm looking at has VGA and DVI and comes with dongle for component cable out
[23:32:44] iamlindoro_: eVGA nvidia cards?
[23:32:59] tempb0y: yea. let me get you a link
[23:33:04] Yahooadam: tempb0y – the card manufacturer doesnt really matter, its the chip maker that counts
[23:33:07] iamlindoro_: Shouldn't need it
[23:33:13] tempb0y: ahh ok
[23:33:14] mzb_d800: dvd ripping is part of MythArchive
[23:33:15] iamlindoro_: nvidia will work well, no matter the manu
[23:33:22] tempb0y: which chip maker should i go with?
[23:33:25] iamlindoro_: nvidia
[23:33:29] tempb0y: cool
[23:33:36] tempb0y: is 256mb card enough?
[23:33:40] iamlindoro_: more than enough, yeah
[23:33:41] Yahooadam: yes thats plenty
[23:33:41] tempb0y: does that matter for HD viewing?
[23:33:48] iamlindoro_: not really in this case
[23:34:01] tempb0y: how does viewing HD DVDs work in myth?
[23:34:09] iamlindoro_: Hahahahahahaahaha
[23:34:10] Yahooadam: Its done on the proccesor
[23:34:11] iamlindoro_: *tear*
[23:34:16] mzb_d800: tempb0y: myth doesn't require a "high performance 3D card"
[23:34:33] tempb0y: mzb, cool
[23:34:38] iamlindoro_: tempb0y, if you want to run HD-DVDs or blu-ray, you are in for some tweaking to be sure
[23:34:46] tempb0y: iamlindoro, i see
[23:34:50] Yahooadam: and you will need a fast proccesor
[23:35:05] iamlindoro_: you will need to rip them to watch them, and keep in mind that NO released version of ffmpeg or mplayer will support E-AC3 or TrueHD
[23:35:11] mzb_d800: anything gf4 and up is sufficient (ie. includes xvmc)
[23:35:33] Yahooadam: Ive run Mythtv on a Geforce4 with 32mb video memory
[23:35:35] iamlindoro_: so if your disk has only those tracks, and MANY do (no regular AC3) your file may not work at all
[23:35:41] Yahooadam: runs the same as a 8800GTX with 768mb memory
[23:36:03] mzb_d800: massive overkill? :)
[23:36:16] mzb_d800: (s/waste;)
[23:36:21] Yahooadam: he he
[23:36:27] tempb0y: iamlindoro, ok. i'll stick to HD disks in hd dvd player :)
[23:36:28] Yahooadam: its my gaming PC, just happened to try mythtv on it
[23:36:33] iamlindoro_: The ONE caveat is that there are E-AC3 and MLP (trueHD) patches available for those programs, but they are bleeding edge and require you to compile your own versions after patching, etc. So you're in for some serious tweaking, as I said
[23:37:02] iamlindoro_: I'm the only one I know who runs with those patches/HD-DVD rips + Myth, although there are of course others
[23:37:06] tempb0y: i'll be patient
[23:37:13] mzb_d800: heh, 2.5yo is reading the phone book :)
[23:37:29] tempb0y: or i could get you to package it up and i'll use whatever distro ur using :)
[23:37:46] Yahooadam: or you will be slapped :p
[23:38:04] iamlindoro_: tempb0y, yeah, you're bound to be much less frustrated if you just use the dedicated players for a few more months... I'm looking at the ffmpeg dev list and it looks like thsoe patches are just about to be committed, so it shouldn't be too terribly long
[23:38:23] Yahooadam: i might suggest Ubuntu if your looking for a distro
[23:38:30] mzb_d800: mythbuntu
[23:38:35] iamlindoro_: I am all too happy to share my .debs but I sure won't support 'em :)
[23:38:39] Yahooadam: its very easy to use, and has great support, but doesnt allways have the latest patches
[23:38:50] tempb0y: yea that is what i'm going with mythbuntu
[23:39:18] tempb0y: well better head home
[23:39:24] tempb0y: laters all. i will be back with more questions
[23:39:25] tempb0y (tempb0y!n=tempb0y@wsip-70-164-66-49.ok.ok.cox.net) has quit ("Leaving")
[23:39:30] iamlindoro_: tempb0y, I rip my HD-DVDs and Blu-ray, then run them through a script I wrote to transcode them to ~10GB files... I have lots of disk space, but I don't love any movie enough to waste 50 GB on it :)
[23:39:33] mzb_d800: I've gone for Lenny and svn multirec mostly because of my lack of power
[23:39:35] Yahooadam: whats special about mythbuntu?
[23:39:55] mzb_d800: not rpm-based
[23:39:56] mzb_d800: :)
[23:40:15] Yahooadam: i mean, vs ubuntu and sudo apt-get install mythtv-frontend ?
[23:40:39] mzb_d800: it's supposedly easier for a beginner to get something close to a result
[23:40:44] Yahooadam: are there any other changes that are interesting ?
[23:40:49] mzb_d800: never tried it
[23:40:54] iamlindoro_: I think they make lirc setup simpler
[23:41:04] Yahooadam: ahh
[23:41:06] iamlindoro_: But I haven't used it either
[23:41:09] Yahooadam: lirc _is_ a bitch
[23:41:17] mzb_d800: why?
[23:41:41] Yahooadam: i spent 5 days trying to get a serial blaster and USB2MCE reciever working
[23:41:50] mzb_d800: heh
[23:41:59] mzb_d800: and that was lirc's fault? :)
[23:42:17] Yahooadam: more a fault of bad documentation for debian based distros
[23:42:51] mzb_d800: pah!
[23:42:56] Yahooadam: then again, it should be easy now
[23:43:02] mzb_d800: http://www.marcusbrutus.soho.on.net/blog/?p=83
[23:43:04] Yahooadam: cos after that we updated the mythtv wiki
[23:43:12] mzb_d800: (I've upgraded;)
[23:43:25] iamlindoro_: Heh, I like that checkinstall in creating .debs with string "amd64" on my Q6600
[23:43:29] iamlindoro_: er is
[23:43:58] Yahooadam: the mceusb2 reciever will work with any remote
[23:44:02] Yahooadam: and its very easy to use
[23:44:07] iamlindoro_: Wonder when AMD threw in the towel and just started making Core 2 Quads
[23:44:08] Yahooadam: bit pricey though
[23:44:10] mzb_d800: need to finish off that page
[23:44:22] mzb_d800: also need to pull my finger out and test the transmitter version
[23:44:25] mzb_d800: (I made two)
[23:44:53] mzb_d800: I've spent < au$10 for two receivers (one includes a transmitter)
[23:45:03] mzb_d800: just need to solder the D9 on and test it
[23:45:10] Yahooadam: fair enough
[23:45:25] Yahooadam: its like £30 for a mceusb2 with remote
[23:45:36] mzb_d800: the one pictured is in action in the bedroom ... works brilliantly
[23:45:58] mzb_d800: yeah ... I've got heaps of old remotes, so I didn't need to spend more $
[23:46:18] mzb_d800: I've ended up using a remote from an old surftv (web2u) "set-top" box
[23:46:28] mzb_d800: which has a matching IR keyboard :)
[23:47:41] mzb_d800: very responsive & sensitive receiver ... I was using the receiver in the Kworld USB2 box, but it was *nasty*
[23:47:47] Yahooadam: :)
[23:47:54] Yahooadam: quite funny, i was looking on the mythtv wiki
[23:47:59] mzb_d800: (and I wanted to move the tuner to another location)
[23:48:13] Yahooadam: and somone put up a channel change script for sky, and they had the same idea as me, send it like 3–4 times :p
[23:48:14] jheizer (jheizer!n=chatzill@pool-71-113-170-10.frstil.dsl-w.verizon.net) has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[23:48:36] mzb_d800: sounds like a bit of a hack
[23:48:38] Yahooadam: it actually works quite well
[23:48:44] Yahooadam: yeah it is a bit of a hack :p
[23:49:01] Yahooadam: i went from loosing like 1/2 my recordings to like 1 in 100
[23:49:09] Yahooadam: maybe better then that
[23:49:31] mzb_d800: *almost* reliable, then ;)
[23:49:39] Yahooadam: yeah, not perfect, but alot better
[23:50:28] mkrufky (mkrufky!n=Jeff@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has left #mythtv-users ()
[23:50:50] Yahooadam: its hard to judge now, because i copy my files to a HDD and move them back to my current "flat"
[23:50:51] iamlindoro_: Hmm, how about rather than repeating it, use SEND_START and SEND_STOP?
[23:51:03] Yahooadam: so i dont know whats digital and sky
[23:51:17] Yahooadam: what would that do iamlindoro ?
[23:51:30] iamlindoro_: like irsend --device=/dev/blahblah SEND_START REMOTE REMOTECODE
[23:51:33] iamlindoro_: sleep 1
[23:51:44] iamlindoro_: irsend ... SEND_STOP REMOTE REMOTECODE
[23:51:55] iamlindoro_: would keep sending that remote code until told to stop
[23:52:08] Yahooadam: but wouldnt that remotecode be a single digit?
[23:52:32] Yahooadam: nvm actually :p
[23:52:35] iamlindoro_: http://linux.die.net/man/1/irsend
[23:52:38] Yahooadam: you can send a series of them cant u
[23:52:48] iamlindoro_: just throwing out an idea, might be worth trying. Might fail horribly :)
[23:52:57] iamlindoro_: but hey, it might just work
[23:53:10] Yahooadam: well im like an hour away from the hardware (by car) so it wont happen any time soon ;)
[23:55:47] Yahooadam: i quite like mythtv
[23:55:59] Yahooadam: once you get a decent skin, and the right interface, it isnt half bad
[23:56:16] Yahooadam: still needs quite a few things fixing/improving, but its good enough to use
[23:56:39] iamlindoro_ (iamlindoro_!n=rmcnamar@140.239.95.222) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[23:58:07] Yahooadam: i just wish my mythtranscode worked :(
