[00:05:06] gentoofan23: Hi, I'm using mythtv from the -fixes branch on gentoo(svn revision 14972. I'm trying to export some video files into a native archive using mytharchive. However, when I attempt to export it, it gives me this: MythNativeWizard: Failed to open file for writing – /archive/Pirates1/Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl/1061_20061225200000.mpg.xml. Any ideas?

[00:08:51] a1fa: anybody watched that Jumper movie?
[00:17:16] Kazan: wee
[00:17:20] ** Kazan bought a car today **
[00:19:20] Kazan: !!!
[00:19:35] Kazan: toshia has thrown in the towel
[00:19:36] Kazan: http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews . . . chnologyNews
[00:19:39] Kazan: toshiba*
[00:21:09] tjcarter: HD-DVD is dead!
[00:21:15] mzb: gentoofan23: mytharchive can't get files streamed from the backend, you need to ensure that file + dir are available on the host you're using mytharchive on
[00:21:22] mzb: (and writable)
[00:22:47] tjcarter: No one answered the phone at Toshiba's PR headquarters...
[00:23:00] gentoofan23: mzb: So that error message means not that I can't write to that directory, but that it can't copy the source file?
[00:23:04] tjcarter: That certainly meshes with my experience of Toshiba's support, yes =D
[00:24:51] tjcarter: a1fa: I want to see Jumper
[00:25:01] mzb: gentoofan23: it probably means that a) the dir doesn't exist on the mytharchiving host AND/OR b) it's not writable
[00:25:18] mzb: (by the user running mytharchive ... usually "mythtv")
[00:25:31] gentoofan23: ok, its myth here.
[00:25:36] gentoofan23: Thanks, I'll try that
[00:32:42] gentoofan23: mzb: I mounted the directory(nfs) and yet I get the same error. The permissions are all Ok.

[00:33:23] mzb: so the "myth" user is able to create directories on that share?
[00:34:11] gentoofan23: not the share. I am not archiving onto the share.
[00:34:35] gentoofan23: I should only need the share(the recordings) for reading purposes, correct?
[00:35:36] mzb: depends where mytharchive has it's temp dir set
[00:36:13] mzb: which I would suggest (from the error msg) is /archive/Pira....

[00:37:17] gentoofan23: That's what I'm guessing. I can't tell from the logs though.
[00:37:22] gentoofan23: Let me check if there is a setting for it.
[00:37:34] gentoofan23: there is a /archive/work though so maybe...

[00:38:18] gentoofan23: mzb: temp directory is /archive
[00:39:31] mzb: does /archive/Pirates1 exist?
[00:39:44] gentoofan23: no
[00:40:08] mzb: you probably need to mount the partition on /archive with the "user" flag
[00:40:22] mzb: so that the user can create dirs in the root of the fs
[00:40:56] gentoofan23: /archive is on /, not sure if that's a good thing. The user myth owns /archive and has +w don it.d
[00:41:36] mzb: yes, but user=myth will still not be able to create dirs in the root of /archive/ without the user flag
[00:41:49] gentoofan23: let me check on that
[00:42:09] mzb: it will never remount properly, and you'll end up with the same problem every time you reboot
[00:42:25] mzb: just put "user" in the options field for /archive in /etc/fstab
[00:42:36] mzb: then umount + mount it
[00:42:44] mzb: (or do -o remount,user)
[00:43:01] gentoofan23: /archive is _not_ a separate filesystem. It is on /
[00:43:17] gentoofan23: But I'm going to get food. Back in a little while. Thanks for helping so far.
[00:46:26] mzb: ah, I see
[00:47:31] mzb: sounds like you've got something wrong with your settings ... I don't suppose you've got your temp dir set to /archive/Pirates1 in mythtv, but then failed to create it?

[05:22:28] kdub: its not to be seen
[05:23:33] npurciful: will it stand verticle
[05:23:52] kdub: if you lean a book up against it it will
[05:24:01] mchou: lol
[05:24:27] npurciful: heh, kinda dumb question there
[05:24:30] mchou: friggin linksys routers are more stylish
[05:24:56] mchou: and they have mounting holes so you CAN stand them up
[05:25:31] npurciful: ohh, do you have to hookup both coax cables or does it have passover
[05:25:44] mchou: passover??
[05:25:45] npurciful: or passthough
[05:25:55] mchou: wtf, is HDHR Jewish?
[05:27:15] npurciful: one coax will feed both inputs, haupage card with dual tuners did this
[05:27:52] mchou: that's cause of an internal splitter
[05:28:11] mchou: which is not necessarily desirable
[05:28:33] npurciful: ah i see
[05:28:45] mchou: especially if it's not amplified

[05:31:51] mchou: huh??
[05:32:03] mchou: you happy with pchdtv?
[05:32:29] npurciful: yeah, it is a good
[05:32:34] npurciful: ATSC tuner
[05:32:40] mchou: sigh
[05:32:57] mchou: why didnt you get HDHR in the first place?
[05:33:12] npurciful: because i wasnt think about the long run
[05:33:26] mchou: I mean pchdtv costs almost the same as 1 hdhr
[05:33:39] npurciful: yeah, i know, 40$ more
[05:33:59] mchou: pchdv quite frankly is a ripoff
[05:34:18] npurciful: price per tuner i would say yes
[05:35:44] npurciful: but when i bought it i wasnt think about that i did what 2 tuners and i also didnt know how good receiption was, i have a antenna
[05:36:22] mchou: yeah, but there were cheaper pci atsc cards that could have worked just as well as pchdtv
[05:36:40] kdub: pchdtv is completely pointless
[05:36:43] npurciful: anyway i am going to put my order in
[05:37:00] mchou: pchdtv is probably the most expensive atsc pci card around
[05:37:02] npurciful: i dont even use the analog can get it to work right
[05:37:51] mchou: npurciful: I say just return pchdtv

[11:44:04] justinh: there's a dichotomy in there somewhere

[11:50:21] justinh: I think I might go MIA again soon. feeling overwhelmed
[11:51:38] DustyBin: bad things about my s-video =: noise in reds and oranges, lots of waves running through them, there is slight ghosting, notice quite a bit on peoples heads
[11:52:10] DustyBin: i didnt think s-video would produce the ghosting effect
[11:52:42] justinh: sounds like ground loops, bad cable or PSU noise
[11:52:49] justinh: or just a shite TV
[11:52:59] DustyBin: ^^ probably that

[11:54:36] justinh: mzb_d800: no I'm just wondering why, if users aren't high on the list of priorities – why do that? ;)

[12:29:25] rooaus: opentrinity: Had a thought... did you just "svn up && make" from an old checkout?
[12:29:46] nayfly: hey... i've compiled and installed the drivers for my capture card on my 64 bit ubuntu distro, but when i try to scan for channels in mythtv-setup, i get the message that it failed to open the card
[12:30:06] nayfly: i'm not sure if this is a 64 bit problem, as i've been able to get this working on my other system, which is 32bit
[12:30:46] rooaus: nayfly: Permissions on the device?
[12:31:06] nayfly: it could be. how do i change permissions for the device?
[12:31:33] nayfly: /dev/cardname ?
[12:31:43] rooaus: opentrinity: You may need to do a distclean as multi threaded decode stuff got committed recently.
[12:33:07] rooaus: nayfly: May be as simple as making sure the mythtv user is in the video group.
[12:35:05] nayfly: well, i've tried running mythtv-setup as the superuser and got the same results...
[12:35:17] nayfly: would that circumvent the permissions issue?
[12:35:51] rooaus: nayfly: You would think so :)
[12:37:06] nayfly: heh. I'm not sure what it could be... also, the system i'm currently running is WAY faster than the old system, but the myth menus seem to run quite slow... like, if i press 'down' on the keyboard, it will take a second to move the menu focus to something else...
[12:37:18] nayfly: i'm not sure if that's related...
[12:37:55] rooaus: nayfly: Maybe you should try with tvtime or something else to make sure the card/drivers are working then myth. Might be easier to isolate the problem that way.
[12:39:14] nayfly: k i'll give it a try
[12:42:22] rooaus: nayfly: 'bout the slowness, if it is a new machine do you have opengl setup correctly?
[12:42:59] nayfly: tvtime is saying that i don't have YUY2 overlay support from my video card
[12:43:05] nayfly: perhaps this is the issue...
[12:43:31] nayfly: welll, i've installed the ATI 64 bit drivers and it went perfectly... no problems during install
[12:48:42] rooaus: hmmm, ATI... are you using the restricted driver? Could be where the problem lay.
[12:49:05] nayfly: i'm using the one from their website
[12:49:21] nayfly: i couldn't get the restricted driver that came with ubuntu to work

[13:08:09] mgi: other than bad signal, what would be another cause for artifacting?
[13:08:42] justinh: mpeg
[13:09:07] mgi: well the mpeg would have to have been corrupted, right
[13:09:19] mgi: I mean artifacting beyond normal mpeg
[13:09:36] mgi: maybe it's called something else, not artifacting
[13:09:42] justinh: generally uncorrectable errors caused by bad reception
[13:09:46] mgi: like, corrupt lines
[13:09:57] mgi: it seems to consistently happen when I get "bright" frames though.. which is weird
[13:09:57] justinh: interlacing artifacts?
[13:10:29] mgi: I'm not sure what an interlacing artifact would look like compared to bad signal corruption
[13:10:54] justinh: pictures tell a much better story than words
[13:11:13] nayfly: any ideas?
[13:11:42] mgi: well I'm watching live tv now, and every now and then I get a very white frame and it craps itself (sound cuts out, I get corrupt lines, etc)
[13:12:30] justinh: sounds like a not very well known about bug
[13:12:44] justinh: where the bitrate drops significantly, myth has problems with it
[13:13:01] justinh: very dark scenes exhibit the problem too
[13:13:13] mgi: don't have the problem with dark frames
[13:13:30] justinh: depends on the bitrate of the stream at those points
[13:13:47] justinh: most setups are using variable bitrates for broadcast
[13:13:47] mgi: so that's a likely culprit?
[13:13:56] justinh: pretty certain of it
[13:14:02] mgi: hmm.. and I'm assuming there's no easy way to fix it?
[13:14:06] justinh: yup
[13:14:18] mgi: super..
[13:14:38] justinh: I dunno why myth has a need for variable bufferring at all, but it does all the same
[13:14:54] rooaus: nayfly: Are you loading the capture card modules correctly? Does tvtime work now?
[13:15:04] mgi: I didn't have any problems with 0.20
[13:15:10] justinh: what happens is that the buffer amount is guessed, and changes constantly
[13:15:19] mgi: ah ok..
[13:15:26] justinh: when the buffer runs out unexpectedly.. oof
[13:15:40] justinh: but again, why it even does that is something I have no idea about
[13:15:48] nayfly: rooaux: no, it still says the thing about overlay
[13:15:52] mgi: yeah.. maybe time to hack some code? :)
[13:16:06] justinh: mgi: the player code? good luck!!!!!
[13:16:13] mgi: haha
[13:17:07] justinh: everybody's too busy putting new features in to care much. it's not as if people don't know about the problems
[13:17:30] mgi: ah yes, feature creep
[13:17:36] mgi: it's more fun to add features than fix bugs :)
[13:17:52] nayfly: justinh: why not suggest it to the developers in #mythtv

[13:19:29] mgi: I have less than 10% cpu utilisation, so I've already realised that
[13:20:44] justinh: I dunno why there's a need for the variable length bufferring anyway
[13:21:03] mgi: yeah, wouldn't you just keep it at the maximum rate you've previously seem?
[13:21:09] mgi: i.e. only grow it, don't shrink it?
[13:21:17] mgi: I wouldn't have thought memory would be a big issue..
[13:21:25] justinh: nor me
[13:22:33] mzb: mgi: what fs are you using?
[13:22:38] mgi: ext3
[13:22:40] justinh: certainly not in terms of 10MB or whatever you'd need for a more than comfortable buffer
[13:22:50] mzb: that wouldn't help
[13:22:53] mgi: using storage over multiple physical disks
[13:23:02] justinh: mzb: desn't matter
[13:23:09] mgi: that's what I would've thought justinh re: buffering
[13:23:17] justinh: the problem is the sliding bufferring
[13:23:20] mzb: ext* is still not designed for media streams

[13:23:49] Dagmar: extents-a-go-go
[13:23:52] justinh: anyway the bottom line is, myth has this sliding buffer doddaa
[13:24:12] mgi: it may not be "designed" for media streams, but they can still be implemented on top of the fs
[13:24:13] justinh: and it's sometimes overcome with massive bitrate changes
[13:24:21] mzb: I had a very interesting talk with the maintainer of XFS at SGI while at linux.conf.au
[13:24:57] mzb: but you've already come to your conclusions, so I'll leave it there
[13:25:44] justinh: mzb: I see the issue on my xfs recordings partition too
[13:25:47] mgi: it seriously is just bright frames which cause the playback to stutter
[13:26:02] mzb: fair enough
[13:26:04] mgi: and my friend (who is using a very near revision) doesn't have the problems
[13:26:18] mgi: so I guess that suggests signal quality..
[13:26:21] justinh: mgi: in the frontend output you get 'NVP: prebufferring pause'... a lot I bet
[13:26:22] mzb: btw: "downsizing" is in the pipeline ;)
[13:26:31] mgi: I'll check
[13:26:47] mgi: ha, yeah I just saw that
[13:27:02] DustyBin: the easiest way for me to make a VGA >> SCART cable would be by using a ATI based GFX card, are there any disadvantages of using a ATI GFX card for HTPC in linux?
[13:27:06] justinh: mzb: I'm thinking about using something else. I don't like the way the project is headed
[13:27:08] mgi: I'm tail -f 'ing now so I'll keep an eye on it
[13:27:19] mzb: mgi: dvb(-t)? try monitoring with femon
[13:27:26] rooaus: mgi: LiveTV or recorded?

[13:28:09] mgi: ha.. I took back my ati card to the shop :)
[13:28:13] mgi: and swapped for a gf
[13:28:20] DustyBin: justinh: all i would need to do is get my ATI card to output a 720x576 resolution through the VGA port
[13:28:38] justinh: DustyBin: so Xv doesn't matter to you then? it'll be nasty without it

[13:31:52] rooaus: lol
[13:32:02] mgi: which I guess suggests signal..
[13:32:25] justinh: mgi: your friend on the other side of town or whatever – he also using mythtv?
[13:32:35] justinh: or er.. something else?
[13:32:51] mzb: mgi: femon (although you can't necessarily trust the numbers, you will at least be able to check for fluctuation)

[13:33:09] mzb: ok
[13:33:16] rooaus: mgi: I don't know if the buffering behaviour is different for recordings, just thought it could be. I haven't looked at the implementation though.
[13:33:24] justinh: rooaus: anyway on all my boxes channel change time is still slow as hell no matter what. 100ms isn't gonna make much difference
[13:33:35] DustyBin: justinh: does your intel have Xv ?
[13:33:40] justinh: DustyBin: yeah
[13:33:42] mgi: yeah.. I would be interested to look at where it's coded but I'm assuming it's not just in one place
[13:33:56] DustyBin: justinh: ive never heard of linux intel gfx drivers
[13:34:14] mzb: rooaus: it's only mpeg2, right? So mgi could always play the recording with something other than mythtv to check that theory.
[13:34:28] mgi: good point
[13:34:29] mzb: (even if sound was out of sync;)
[13:34:36] justinh: mzb: it'll be just fine with another player. I can virtually guarantee that

[13:35:39] mzb: gf uses livetv occasionally (until I catch her;)
[13:35:56] justinh: rooaus: my point is, it's damn slow anyway. an extra tenth/fifth of a sec won't make much difference but will make a world of difference in terms of the amount the adaptive buffer is caught out
[13:36:15] rooaus: mgi: Ah, I have an 8 way splitter in my feed in.
[13:36:26] mgi: hmm.. ok
[13:36:33] mgi: but if my signal's crap to begin with, that won't help
[13:36:41] mzb: mgi: build a real aerial: http://www.marcusbrutus.soho.on.net/blog/?p=79
[13:36:48] mzb: (and get RG6 minimum;)
[13:37:05] justinh: mzb: I hope it's an amplified splitter
[13:37:10] rooaus: justinh: Oh yeah, I forgot to say 100ms isn't going to matter at all practically.
[13:37:21] mgi: I tried using an amplified splitter but it was worse
[13:37:27] mgi: obviously amplifying the noise..
[13:37:40] justinh: and besides, if it was _signal_ related it wouldn't just show itself on certain elements
[13:37:44] mzb: justinh: not mine (although I wish Jaycar still sold inductive splitters;)
[13:37:54] mgi: true
[13:37:57] mgi: ha, I love jaycar
[13:38:16] mzb: hmmm ... I don't (any more) ... used to work for them ;)
[13:38:20] Dibblah: Not another .au insomniac...
[13:38:25] mgi: :)

[13:38:26] mzb: :)
[13:38:40] rooaus: Dibblah: was just thinking the same thing :)
[13:38:49] justinh: anyway my love affair is coming to an end. gonna have a go with some other pvrs & see what happens
[13:38:55] mzb: yeah, but I reckon mgi would be from the "north island" ;)
[13:39:41] mgi: you're from tassie?
[13:39:44] rooaus: mzb: Statistically, that is probable :)
[13:39:50] Dagmar: justinh: Don't forget to tell them your "safe word"
[13:40:04] rooaus: rofl
[13:40:10] mzb: yep, .tas.au
[13:40:28] mgi: mel here
[13:40:36] justinh: Dagmar: you mean users of other software PVRs are even more masochistic? ffs
[13:40:49] Dagmar: justinh: When it comes to what you can do with the recorded programs, oh yes.
[13:40:59] Dagmar: "All your recordings are belong to us" comes to mind.
[13:40:59] justinh: I _watch_ recorded programs
[13:41:07] mzb: just come back from Melbourne for the linux.conf ... great weather for a week ;)
[13:41:07] justinh: I delete recorded programs
[13:41:18] mgi: well we *are* in a drought
[13:41:21] rooaus: night all
[13:41:24] mzb: *came
[13:41:27] mzb: gnite
[13:41:35] directhex: justinh, you were more right than you think
[13:41:37] Dagmar: Yer just one legal tiff away from having 30-second skip, or anything remotely resembling it, taken away.
[13:41:58] justinh: directhex: if other apps are worse, I really do despair
[13:42:03] directhex: justinh, imagine seeing the following in Xorg.0.log on a 1ghz epia:
[13:42:04] directhex: (WW) CHROME(0): [XvMC] Not supported on this chipset.
[13:42:22] justinh: directhex: and be surprised? never
[13:42:47] justinh: you're in a very exclusive club now directhex. not a very large one at that
[13:42:54] directhex: justinh, which club is that?
[13:43:03] justinh: the epia owners club :)
[13:43:33] Dagmar: i.e., "Foul Mouthed Users of the Northern Hemisphere"
[13:43:41] directhex: justinh, owners? i get to send it back, and write a scathing review advising people not to part with their money
[13:44:02] nayfly (nayfly!n=nathan@124.149.33.171) has joined #mythtv-users
[13:44:14] justinh: oh yeah it was a review machine. I forgot that & was thinking you'd actually taken leave of your senses yesterday.
[13:44:21] justinh: (sorry)
[13:45:07] directhex: justinh, you'll like this. i ran a LAME encode on a big ol' WAV file on the epia... then clocked this athlon64 down to 1ghz and ran it
[13:45:25] directhex: to help illustrate the "mhz myth"
[13:45:30] Dagmar: LAME has a lot of optimizations that take advantage of instructions the VIA don't have
[13:45:54] DustyBin: athlon64 CPU contains multimedia extensions?
[13:45:58] directhex: Dagmar, i know. does that mean it's unfair to compare it? it's 2008!
[13:46:06] justinh: rofl
[13:46:32] Dagmar: I've /been/ saying that buying VIA is like buying a jigsaw puzzle at the store, just to get it home and find out all the pieces are slow.
[13:46:45] sid3windr: lol
[13:46:56] justinh: directhex: you could quote that in the review ;)
[13:47:01] Dagmar: Perhaps a wattage/work ratio comparison would show them in a better light.
[13:47:18] justinh: Dagmar: wattage = work done per second :P
[13:47:34] Dagmar: How much have you been drinking this morning?
[13:47:51] Dagmar: I have a K6–2 450 here that should be on par with a bloody supercomputer by that measure.
[13:47:55] sid3windr: wattage is an important question
[13:47:56] directhex: Dagmar, i note via compare their power/work ratio against pentium-m, and only come out ~15% better
[13:48:00] justinh: ooo yeah – hey everybody – low power means LOW POWER. I.e. not enough POWER to do anything constructive with
[13:48:02] sid3windr: you know
[13:48:07] sid3windr: "wattage are you?" "17" "oh shit"
[13:48:14] Dagmar: hah!
[13:48:25] mgi: hey, 17 is legal here
[13:48:29] directhex: 16!
[13:48:30] Dagmar: It's not here.
[13:48:36] directhex: anyway, for that ickle comparison
[13:48:37] mgi: 16 is the minimum age here for consent
[13:48:45] directhex: 808.67user 4.09system 13:32.93elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
[13:48:46] directhex: 2048.56user 4.61system 34:13.09elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
[13:48:51] directhex: guess which is which
[13:48:58] Dagmar: I just had a girl get back in touch with me over LiveJournal who I'm waiting for to ask why we stopped seeing each other.
[13:49:16] Dagmar: This was well over ten years ago, but the show-stopper for me was finding out she was 17.
[13:49:17] jblack: Where I live, girls can get married off at age 16
[13:49:28] Dagmar: Like "whoo! dodged a bullet there"
[13:49:58] nayfly: in mythtv-setup, it can clearly probe the card information... i get the card details, model etc. however, when i go to scan for channels in the 'input connections' menu, it fails to open the card...
[13:50:21] jblack: Younger, with special circumstances.
[13:51:00] ** justinh wonders if there's a way to hack that nasty variable buffer out of the equation **
[13:51:05] justinh: an *easy* way
[13:51:17] mzb: mgi: that depends on the difference between ages (below 18)
[13:51:18] Dagmar: These people are, presumably aware that girls should be considered clinically insane until they're about 23, right?
[13:51:24] mgi: mzb not in VIC
[13:51:30] mgi: VIC 16 is legal, anything under is within 2 years
[13:51:45] Dagmar: Like, to the degree that I feel bad for teenage boys who have to date teenage girls.
[13:51:59] mzb: sure you don't mean 18 is legal, down to 16 is 2 years?
[13:52:07] mgi: nup, I looked up the law
[13:52:16] mgi: and I have a few lawyer friends ;)
[13:52:21] mgi: not for any reason in particular..
[13:52:29] Dagmar: He's in one of the more rural southern US states. heh
[13:52:37] mzb: ah well, I'm safe anyway ;)
[13:52:38] mgi: by the way, I played the mpeg in mplayer and I still get the artifacts.. still only on bright frames
[13:52:47] mgi: but they're there nonetheless
[13:53:10] mgi: I got "CRC check failed" and "error at resampling"
[13:53:24] mzb: does playing a "perfect" video work?
[13:53:54] mgi: in mplayer? I'll try, but I'm assuming yes
[13:54:00] mzb: you might be able to do a loss-less transcode to fix that
[13:54:31] nayfly: any ideas about my problem?
[13:54:35] mgi: when it fucks up, femon reports "ber" and "unc" number that aren't 000000
[13:54:37] mzb: I've changed my high-quality profile to lossless so I can do cuts without transcode
[13:54:59] mgi: where do you set that up?
[13:55:07] mzb: mgi: seen my aerial then? :)) (cost $2 for a can of "magic" spray paint;)
[13:55:11] justinh: nice when lossles works
[13:55:28] mzb: justinh: never have a problem with lossless
[13:55:30] mgi: magic spray paint?
[13:55:35] mzb: use it constantly
[13:55:47] mzb: magic spray paint = black enamel ;)
[13:55:53] mgi: right.. :)
[13:56:19] justinh: mzb: you obviously don't live in a place where the # of streams in recordings change, aspects change, resolutions change..
[13:56:20] mzb: :)) ... beast of a thing ... works well
[13:56:21] mgi: so what significance do these femon numbers have?
[13:57:02] mzb: hex ... try echo $[0xNNNN / 0xFFFF]
[13:57:19] mzb: where NNNN is the number you see ... might make more sense
[13:57:27] mgi: yes, but what do I do now that I have the numbers
[13:57:47] mgi: as far as I can tell, when they're non-zero I'm getting stutters
[13:57:51] mzb: watch for "significant" variation
[13:58:20] mzb: you can't really trust the numbers (with most drivers ... so it depends on the card)
[13:58:28] mgi: signal goes non-zero too
[13:59:05] mgi: so from all this does it basically mean my signal isn't fantastic?
[13:59:14] mzb: probably
[13:59:19] mzb: got an STB?
[13:59:24] mgi: weird that it only comes up with bright frames
[13:59:25] mgi: nope
[13:59:48] mzb: got more than 1 tuner card?
[13:59:57] mgi: yep
[14:00:08] mzb: all the same type?
[14:00:15] mgi: nah.. one has two tuners in it
[14:00:28] mzb: DViCO?
[14:00:34] mgi: yeah that one :)
[14:00:37] mzb: ok
[14:00:47] mzb: haven't tried one of those (yet)
[14:01:04] mzb: try a different aerial
[14:01:07] mzb: *anything*
[14:01:08] mgi: seems to work fine.. well apart from the problems I'm having :)
[14:01:13] mzb: (piece of wet string)
[14:01:23] mgi: well I need something that gets a signal!
[14:01:24] nayfly: are you running a dvico on an amd64 box?
[14:01:25] mzb: and compare the signal strength + video quality
[14:01:33] mgi: nah, intel core2 duo
[14:01:49] mgi: actually I'll get rid of the splitter and try it direct
[14:01:51] mzb: problem with DViCO on amd64?
[14:02:23] mzb: nayfly: ^^
[14:02:41] nayfly: yeh man
[14:03:18] nayfly: ubuntu can probe the card and get it's information etc, but can't open the card to be used in mythtv
[14:03:26] nayfly: i can't scan for channels...
[14:03:38] mzb: so how is that an amd64 bug?
[14:03:48] mzb: sounds like an ubuntu bug ;))
[14:04:36] mgi: argh.. I can't test without the splitter because the cable I need is in the bedroom and my gf is sleeping
[14:04:41] nayfly: i don't know what kind of bug it is, only that it's bugging the hell out of me. The funny thing is, I could get it working on my old x86 setup
[14:05:19] mzb: nayfly: what kernel rev?
[14:05:43] mgi: have you tried using the x86 kernel?
[14:06:10] mzb: mgi: try one of those silly little mag-based things (or a coat-hanger, piece of wet string, ... etc)
[14:06:12] nayfly: maybe i'm doing something wrong, but the live CD would not even boot on the AMD64
[14:06:15] nayfly: kernel panic.
[14:06:39] mzb: hmm ... ok, so nothing to do with amd64 + dvico then
[14:06:44] mgi: silly question – do you have a usb keyboard, and is it disabled in the bios?
[14:06:48] mgi: I had weird problems with that
[14:06:57] mzb: child issue
[14:06:59] mgi: x86_64 though
[14:07:35] nayfly: yes it's a usb keyboard and mouse going through the same wireless receiver
[14:07:46] nayfly: i'm pretty sure usb keyboard is disabled in bios
[14:07:50] mgi: ok
[14:08:23] nayfly: should the amd be able to run x86?
[14:08:34] mgi: I believe so
[14:09:17] mzb: yes
[14:09:26] nayfly: interesting...
[14:09:32] nayfly: i wonder why it hates me.
[14:09:57] mzb: but depending on what you're doing it might be ~20% slower
[14:10:16] mzb: (results vary;)
[14:10:37] nayfly: that doesn't bother me really, as long as it can run mythtv with high def tv etc. okay
[14:10:53] mgi: try the x86 image
[14:11:03] directhex: x86 and amd64 should run at approximately the same speed. x86 involves shorter chunks of memory moving about, which is faster. amd64 has more general-purpose registers, which is faster. performance is usually equal, sans optimization
[14:11:51] mkrufky (mkrufky!n=mk@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:13:30] mzb: totally depends what you're doing with it
[14:13:57] mzb: moving more data at the same speed (Hz) ends up being faster in *most* cases
[14:14:00] nayfly: yep
[14:14:01] mzb: wench:~# uname -r
[14:14:01] mzb: 2.6.18-4-xen-686
[14:14:14] mzb: wench:~# egrep Processor /proc/cpuinfo
[14:14:15] mzb: model name  : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3400+
[14:14:20] nayfly: i guess i just can't get the livecd to boot
[14:14:26] nayfly: for some unknown reason
[14:14:40] nayfly: should i enable usb keyboard?
[14:14:57] mzb: it might be a sempron, but it's 64bit running 32bit (problems with certain vm's when I built the machine)
[14:14:59] mgi: it can't hurt
[14:15:16] zkx: i wonder if i should try the amd64 stuff out someday, after all, i do have a amd64 :p
[14:15:25] nayfly: hehe
[14:15:35] mgi: heh... I had no problem with the core2 duo and x86_64
[14:15:37] nayfly: you feel like it's untapped potential eh
[14:16:10] mzb: I have used amd64 on machine above ... booting alone is noticably faster (to the point where you notice more noise from the drives;)
[14:16:43] nayfly: hmm i'll try some stuff. I'll log back into here on my macbook and will probably be asking for advice, if that's cool
[14:16:46] mzb: and this machine has been running amd64 since ... since before amd64 was mainline (iirc)
[14:18:17] mzb: (keep in mind that the Sempron 3400+ and the Athlon64 3200+ (Venice) are both 2000MHz processors ... so I've done quite a bit of comparison)
[14:18:20] zkx: well i've always just installed regular 32bit for the 32bit codec dll compatibility.... tho i don't think that even matters for the stuff i do with the mythtv box
[14:18:42] zkx: i have a Athlon64 3000+ (Wincherster i think)

[14:32:30] levander: I'm ripping my first DVD. Is it normal for this process to take half an hour?
[14:33:02] doobeh: levander: yup, easily
[14:33:31] levander: It's only like 2GB of data, right? Why does it take half an hour?
[14:34:23] doobeh: are you converting it, or just copying it?
[14:34:27] nayfly: i got the ubuntu 32bit to boot on my AMD64 :)...
[14:34:48] levander: nayfly: That's supposed to be the usual case.
[14:35:09] levander: nayfly: 64 bit AMD CPU's (and Intel) support 32-bit also.
[14:35:26] nayfly: i know, but i was telling the guys in here before that it would cause a kernel panic when i tried
[14:35:41] levander: doobeh: I think I'm just copying it because I chose the quality to be ISO.
[14:35:47] Dagmar: Consumer 64-bit CPUs definitely run 32-bit code or they'd never have survived the market transition
[14:36:16] levander: The wiki says the copy will take half an hour, so I guess that is usual.
[14:36:17] nayfly: yeh, but my 64bit system seems to be causing trouble with my capture card in myth
[14:36:56] levander: Dagmar: The market transition is still going on. I haven't upgraded because of problems with Flash, Java, and I think virtualbox (not sure) has a few issues too.
[14:37:12] Dagmar: levander: These problems only exist with wholly 64-bit operating systems.
[14:37:38] Dagmar: You can install XP Home edition on an Athlon 64 and never have a single problem (relating to it being a 64-bit CPU that is. It's still XP.)
[14:38:17] justinh: time to halt the emails I think. not interested anymore
[14:38:48] levander: You're going off the mythtv-users email list?

[14:42:13] levander: justinh: Why you stopping developing?
[14:44:02] mkrufky: levander: open source devel can get to you sometimes, it's always good to take a break and come back again with renewed interest
[14:44:48] levander: mythtvtalk isn't an archive of mailing lists? it's its own message board?
[14:45:05] justinh: mythtvtalk is nothing to do with the mythtv project
[14:45:22] justinh: well, I mean not directly to do with it
[14:45:39] justinh: not sanctioned or supported. it's totally independant
[14:45:46] justinh: independent, even
[14:46:25] levander: If there's artifacts coming in on an analog cable signal, is it normal for mythtv to make the artifacts look worse?
[14:46:45] justinh: noise doesn't encode well
[14:46:47] levander: I've got a PVR 500 and doing hardware mpeg-2 encoding.
[14:47:08] levander: justinh: I figured. The Comcast guy is supposed to be here between 11 and 2 to check the lines.
[14:47:18] justinh: and myth doesn't/can't do any deblocking to help alleviate them either
[14:48:33] DustyBin: i just ordered a PCB circuit board, resistors, and a transistor
[14:48:51] justinh: anyway I'll sit on the patches I've got working til after the release. when more of mythui porting is done I'll possibly get on theming again. til then, it's holiday!

[14:52:53] levander: Why do people prefer mailing lists to message boards? Fooling with mailing lists requires so many more steps than fooling with a message board. And, the search features of mailing list archives are rarely as good as those on a message board.
[14:53:27] justinh: outright hatred?
[14:53:40] levander: More like annoyed.
[14:53:42] mkrufky: "fooling with mailing lists" is so many LESS steps for those that can answer any questions you may be asking
[14:53:46] doobeh: tradition mostly
[14:54:26] levander: mkrufky: Checking your email is that much easier for some people than checking a message board?
[14:54:31] justinh: on mythtvtalk.com the majority of questions are just dumb. I mean like RTFM stuff. that in itself speaks volumes I think
[14:54:56] levander: Yeah, I've heard that before. Adding a level of difficulty filters out the noobs.
[14:54:59] mkrufky: levander: for developers that are MAINLY working on code, they just check their own email and notice that the mailing list has a question they know the answer to
[14:55:21] justinh: and as for the -dev mailing list – I wish it was only people who are developing would post there
[14:55:30] mkrufky: levander: that is way more likely to happen, than for me to stop what im doing and open a website forum, only so that somebody can find new ways to spend my time
[14:55:43] justinh: ask for an opinion & zillions of people come out of the woodwork
[14:56:03] directhex: edit the ML so only people with commmit access can reply!
[14:56:17] justinh: directhex: there's already a secret ML for them
[14:56:18] levander: mkrufky: It's cool if that's what you're used to and like. But, I don't see how checking your email is any less of your time than checking a web site (well, except for the noobs).
[14:56:28] justinh: except not everybody with commit access ^^^
[14:57:00] mkrufky: levander: the point that i am making, is that people that HAVE the answers dont usually seek out people with questions
[14:57:19] mkrufky: levander: opening a www forum is an activity, but opening a mailer is passive
[14:57:45] mkrufky: im making a generalization — i do not speak for everyone
[14:58:10] justinh: mkrufky: when mythtvtalk.com was first launched Ludovic sought the approval of the community & didn't get it

[15:56:50] directhex: leprechau, watch recordings has nothing to do with imdb

[15:57:34] Dagmar: Calling you names, is it?
[15:57:38] directhex: it's imbecile
[15:57:51] levander: Well, for some reason the ripped DVD didn't show up for me in Watch Recordings till I filled in the metadata...
[15:58:00] levander: But, it's first time – maybe I did something else wrong.
[15:58:03] jblack: levander: There's a user in the channel called leprechau. His automatic nick completion would have gotten confused.
[15:58:21] Dagmar: Probably because it doesn't automatically populate the data for _another plugin that may or may not exist on the installation_
[15:58:24] levander: jblack: Everyone in the channel but you understood I was joking.
[15:58:35] Dagmar: Ya see the reasoning there?
[15:58:37] levander: jblack: Apparently, you're the leprechaun!
[15:59:15] zabadapp: levander: but ripped dvds become "recordings"? (i haven't tried yet, i don't know ... i would have guessed they end up in "videos")
[15:59:31] jblack: Your joke telling skills are in desperate need of improvement, if that's your attempt at a joke
[15:59:58] levander: zabadapp: You're right, I put it in this channel wrong. It is videos.
[16:00:39] levander: jblack: I'm too lazy to continue the game an type in an entire joke... So now, I'm the leprechaun.
[16:01:35] zabadapp: levander: ok, and as i wrote earlier (in case you missed), myth can be configured to show all files in "videos" without scanning or adding metadata ... directly on the fly!
[16:02:05] levander: Yeah, I looked for that. Didn't see it. I'll look again later.
[16:02:09] levander: zabadapp: Thanks.
[16:02:47] zabadapp: it's where you select the default view mode (gallery/list/etc) for videos ... and you set the "mirror filesystem" for each mode
[16:03:11] levander: What are the odds we'll be able to watch Blu Ray movies on myth boxes in the next year.
[16:03:18] Dagmar: lol
[16:03:19] XLV: justinh, straying from mythtv?
[16:03:21] levander: Now that Blu Ray has won the HD format war.
[16:03:40] zabadapp: if you wish to rather not see some files in the file system, you can set certain extensions to "ignore" where you associate extensions with players
[16:03:45] iamlindoro_: I watch blu ray movies on my myth box today...
[16:03:55] iamlindoro_: I just have to rip them first.
[16:04:13] iamlindoro_: and patch mplayer, and set each with a unique player command....
[16:04:20] levander: iamlindoro:Blu Ray isn't encrypted like regular DVD's? Won't someone have to break something like CSS for Blu Ray's?
[16:04:25] iamlindoro_: but it's still *possible*
[16:04:42] iamlindoro_: levander: Yes, the disks are encrypted...
[16:04:44] XLV: levander, i think thats already done
[16:04:59] ** iamlindoro_ wonders why he bothered writing the article on the wiki on this topic **
[16:05:15] levander: iamlindoro: I still think Blu Ray is too expensive to buy a player.
[16:05:20] Dagmar: So you can pound people over the head with the URL instead of typing all this crap over and over again.
[16:05:28] iamlindoro_: levander: Then why did you bother asking the question?
[16:05:31] Dagmar: If they can't be bothered to read the URL, then scroo'um
[16:05:40] levander: iamlindoro: Well, because I was curious.
[16:05:48] directhex: blu-ray drives are under £100
[16:06:01] iamlindoro_: go to the wiki and search for any of the following: bluray, blu-ray, hddvd, hd-dvd, High definition disk formats....
[16:06:16] iamlindoro_: all of which will give you a step by step guide to ripping and playing them
[16:06:20] levander: directhex: Oh yeah, I was looking at Blu Ray burners the other day. Maybe I'll get a readonly...
[16:06:30] ** directhex adds "hd-dvd is dead lulz" to iamlindoro's wiki article **
[16:06:37] iamlindoro_: you can get a combo HD-DVD and blu-ray drive for $250 US
[16:06:51] levander: iamlindoro: Thanks, but you already told me everything I want to know for the time being. When I actually set out to do it, I'm sure that wiki page will be very helpful.
[16:07:04] iamlindoro_: directhex: true true! But now's the time for me to pick up all the disks at less than half price since my myth box thinks they're all the same :)
[16:07:08] levander: iamlindoro: HD-DVD lost.
[16:07:27] directhex: iamlindoro, half price? only $40 a disc? :O

[16:09:06] directhex: levander, as expected, really
[16:09:06] levander: All I saw about it was that the EU was inquiring to see if Sony used "inappropriate measures" to convince people to switch.
[16:09:20] levander: Well, to convince studios to switch.
[16:09:44] directhex: probably, but so did the hd-dvd crowd

[16:10:50] iamlindoro_: directhex: Sounds like you guys are getting stiffed, Amazon's got 150 HD-0DVDs at half price here right now
[16:10:55] levander: directhex: But, when people switched to HD DVD, they were always citing "lower production costs". When people switched to Blu Ray, they never really gave a reason.
[16:11:07] iamlindoro_: and Deepdiscount has them as low as $12

[16:12:09] directhex: levander, blu-ray is more expensive, and has more drm. hd-dvd is better for the consumer. but in the end, gotta go where the content is. the ps3 means blu-ray had a bigger installed base, means studios focused on it more, means the base got bigger, etc. it was only ever a question of when
[16:12:32] levander: I'm actually glad Blu Ray won. It's faster, higher disc capacities for backups.
[16:12:51] levander: directhex: That's the best analysis I've seen. And, I googled for maybe an hour or so yesterday.
[16:13:16] directhex: blu-ray is slooooow
[16:13:21] levander: I laughed when Sony bundled Blu Ray in the PS3. Thought it just made the thing too expensive. Really surprised they pulled that off.
[16:13:25] XLV: directhex, hd dvd decks were always cheaper though, and last year almost cheap, so that wasnt the only reason
[16:13:42] directhex: it's one of the reasons multi-platform games are better on the xbox 360 is dvd is so very much faster than blu-ray
[16:13:49] directhex: XLV, i never cited price as a factor
[16:13:50] iamlindoro_: Heh.... HD-DVD wasn't region coded and its protection was completely broken. Neither HD-DVD nor Blu-ray have been filling their capacity and the largest blu-ray rip I have made could fit on an HD-DVD. Blu-ray's BD+ is undefeated so far... for the myth user, HD-DVD was MUCH better
[16:13:56] XLV: levander, they'll make up from other ends
[16:14:23] iamlindoro_: but anyway, BD+ will ultimately be defeated and all the AACS protected blu-ray disks can be read, so for now it's fine.
[16:14:38] levander: XLV: Yeah, the PS3 was Sony's investment to get Blu Ray going. I thought that from the very release. Turns out they pulled it off.
[16:14:41] directhex: i need to doctor some of these screenshots
[16:14:58] XLV: levander, plus for pc, you will get a dual drive when time comes, so for pc and backups etc it doesnt matter much
[16:15:16] levander: directhex: What I remember seeing is that Blu Ray is faster than HD DVD. Is that accurate? I didn't see any comparison to regular DVD.
[16:15:56] directhex: levander, in theory both are 36mbit at 1x
[16:16:07] levander: XLV: When it matters is when you have a backup that you keep adding to. Like the scheme for backing up with rsync. You can keep adding to the same backup longer with rsync.
[16:16:38] levander: adding to the same backup longer when you use Blu Ray, and their bigger capacity
[16:17:34] XLV: levander, i wouldnt use any optical for repeated backups.. only for archiving i use them
[16:17:56] levander: XLV: Wouldn't use them because of scratches?
[16:18:10] XLV: levander, too fragile imo
[16:18:20] XLV: a usb2 hdd is more dependable
[16:18:47] levander: Yeah, I do baby my optical disks. And, I still occasionally get scraches on them. I've never hurt one once it's in the player though.

[17:03:07] directhex: justinh, did you use openchrome or the binary unichrome driver with your epia?
[17:03:16] justinh: directhex: openchrome
[17:03:31] directhex: justinh, any particular reason?
[17:03:35] Inssomniak: seems a bug in mythcommflag --rebuild -all is broken
[17:03:37] justinh: it sucked badly for mythtv. everything else was fine
[17:03:53] justinh: directhex: minimyth didn't come with unichrome, mostly
[17:03:56] directhex: justinh, this was a 1.5ghz epia wasn't it?
[17:03:59] GreyFoxx: ok, it renamed it to vob when it finished
[17:04:10] justinh: directhex: m10000
[17:04:30] directhex: and you found it was fine? O_o
[17:04:40] justinh: directhex: outside of mythtv yeah

[17:05:18] justinh: directhex: different video chipset
[17:05:24] justinh: mine's the CLE266
[17:05:27] directhex: bleh
[17:06:33] justinh: I think I was being plagued by the variable buffer stuff talked about earlier today
[17:07:25] justinh: might have a look & see if that can be worked around. I couldn't care less about channel changing times but when my core2 has problems playing SDTV mpeg2 it's time to take action
[17:07:35] justinh: not high cpu usage mind
[17:07:38] justinh: far from it
[17:08:48] justinh: wheee mediaportal has hard locked the machine. I reset it, and now the tuner card is no longer worky.

[17:20:29] kdub: if it cant then you are probably doing somethign wrong
[17:20:56] justinh: hmm lemme think. does mplayer, xine & VLC have any trouble with the recordings? no it doesn't

[17:25:40] justinh: the one I'k buying has 30 sec skip buttons
[17:25:43] justinh: that'd do
[17:26:07] Inssomniak: hmm myth plays back 1080i HD content perfectly fine om my core2duo 1.8ghz
[17:26:10] justinh: and fwiw I don't even _need_ most of the scheduling
[17:26:24] justinh: Inssomniak: I'll pass you a few recordings that won't. 720x576 mpeg2
[17:26:25] jblack: maybe you'll be happy then. I somehow doubt it.
[17:26:40] Inssomniak: why wont these recordings play back?
[17:26:59] justinh: cos funny enough my box plays 720p h.264 just fine. just not SDTV recordings from DVB-T

[17:28:52] jblack: 50 hz AC just ain't fast enough. ;)
[17:28:55] justinh: CPU usage of the frontend remains low yet playback is coughing with loads of NVP::prebuffer pauses
[17:29:00] kdub: they usually just broadcast the commercials in whatever bitrate they get them in
[17:29:05] kdub: so they dont match
[17:29:16] jblack: justinh: Oh, so either the network or the drive isn't keeping up
[17:29:25] justinh: jblack: it IS keeping up
[17:29:44] kdub: can you adjust the cache size in myth like you can with -cache in mplayer?
[17:29:58] justinh: kdub: no. the buffer amount is dynamic

[17:30:27] justinh: jblack: it's not network or hdd throughput. not if other players work fine on the same files
[17:30:44] directhex: justinh, something is broken in whatever does the buffering
[17:30:57] directhex: justinh, i get that message on mp4 files
[17:31:10] jblack: I think it's a buffering problem. Those other players probably buffer more... at least enough to get through io dropouts.
[17:31:37] darkfrog: When I try to watch a Video in Myth frontend it seems to play the video (I can hear sound), but the myth frontend still displays. I have it using default mplayer settings to play video...has anyone experienced this before? I'm running Mythbuntu 7.10.
[17:31:38] justinh: directhex: IIRC the buffer amount is based on current bitrate. big changes throw it a curveball
[17:32:06] directhex: justinh, then that's broken & needs fixing

[17:34:13] justinh: directhex: did you also know the a/v divergence is being updated to the database?

[17:36:26] kdub: well why wouldnt you just stick with fedora then?
[17:36:53] darkfrog: because I just happened to use Mythbuntu for one box to give it a try. :o
[17:37:06] darkfrog: it's working quite nicely apart from not being able to display videos. :o
[17:37:13] directhex: i didn't realise mythbuntu still used mplayer for anything anyway
[17:37:31] darkfrog: directhex, I think it just leaves all default settings for video playing
[17:37:42] darkfrog: ...same exact config for the player as Fedora 8 had after installing Myth
[17:38:01] directhex: mythtv doesn't use config files
[17:38:14] darkfrog: directhex, didn't say it did. :o

[18:13:55] Dagmar: "The advantage of DVI is that it only requires one cable to transfer the red-blue-green signal, and the speed it transfers an image is significantly faster than the analog component cables, which benefits the overall viewing experience on DLP, Plasma, and LCD televisions."
[18:13:57] Dagmar: lol
[18:14:51] directhex: O_o
[18:14:53] justinh: wonder if there's any actual point in defragging this partition. it'll only get shot to bits again
[18:15:11] Dagmar: justinh: not if you mount it read-only it won't.
[18:15:22] justinh: fat load of good that is for recordings
[18:15:38] Dagmar: Ah
[18:15:53] justinh: 99.75% is pretty bad though, so will give it a whirl
[18:16:09] Dagmar: I think you shoudl be worried about the number of fragments per file
[18:16:28] Dagmar: If your filesystem is 100% fragmented, with each file having only two fragments, who gives a damn
[18:16:32] jblack: That's what worries me. I dont' want to spend money on 1080i televisions that degrade to 480i with myth.
[18:17:30] justinh: Dagmar: there are a lot of fragments

[18:22:51] nordle: hello all. I've googled but not yet found, what is "TitlePlayCommand" for? It's in the settings table, and I've seen a few people quote it, such as: TitlePlayCommand mplayer dvd://%t -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv -aid %a -channels %c mythtvhost40. I guess it plays a specifc title on a DVD, but given that MythDVD is triggered from Alt+E which I believe is mythdvd.DVDPlayerCommand. So how is TitlePlayCommand triggered?
[18:22:52] Dagmar: justinh: WOW
[18:23:34] justinh: Dagmar: yeah I think that might be why I'm seeing the occasional playback glitch. other players might just be stepping over it with their more er.. well _different_ bufferring schemes

[18:25:51] Dagmar: Oooh extents-a-go-go
[18:26:10] Dagmar: What I was told is that XFS gets wiggy about files that we write to in clumps
[18:26:20] justinh: wiggy?
[18:26:39] Dagmar: "performs less than logically"
[18:26:49] justinh: so despite being a bugger at deletion, ext3 would be better?
[18:26:53] Dagmar: JFS
[18:27:22] justinh: I don't honestly think the true pros & cons of all the fs are covered in the docs
[18:28:00] Dagmar: I may be getting this completely screwed up, but what I was told about XFS is that as Myth gets each little pile of data, it writes it to the disk, and XFS uses an extent for that chunk alone
[18:28:30] Dagmar: ...so files written all in one go use very few extents, while files written a little at a time (esp simultaneously) don't get so lucky

[18:32:13] justinh: wonder if there's not just some noob fs tuning step I missed out
[18:32:35] jarle: to ask the question in another way: in which tables does mythtv look to figure out which diseqc it has to tune to to get a channel?
[18:32:57] justinh: jarle: cardinput ?
[18:33:03] jblack: With 1500 shows here, I can only imagine how bad it is for you justinh.

[18:36:39] justinh: never again, I tell thee

[21:47:02] justinh: but no. for whatever reason the guy who did mythfm thought better of it, it stayed unofficial & died off
[21:47:24] dotCOMmie: Is there an easy (scriptable) way of telling myth to not use a tuner?
[21:47:25] justinh: whereas if the extra work had been done it might still have been around today. aw
[21:47:46] justinh: dotCOMmie: recording radio is a bit of a waste of a tuner IMHO
[21:47:58] justinh: well a PVR card I mean

[21:48:15] justinh: infact it's one of the few things a framegrabber is good for :)
[21:48:27] justinh: (those which do FM radio)
[21:49:53] justinh: and you know what? I just played some recordings that were giving me hassle & found the points where they glitched consistently. since starting the defrag, all seems better now. have to schedule a new filesystem on my recordings partition soon then
[21:50:29] justinh: directhex: that isn't to say the bufferring doesn't still need a rocket though
[21:51:03] directhex: justinh, does virgin1 work yet?
[21:51:09] directhex: justinh, don't say "who'd want it to?"
[21:51:19] justinh: virgin1? yeah between 6pm & 6am IIRC
[21:51:30] justinh: record X files regularly
[21:51:44] directhex: ISTR myth had epic fail issues with much of it, due to bitrate spikes
[21:51:58] arschjucken: justinh: qucik question, but mythtv does record radio via dvbs right ?
[21:51:58] justinh: ahh that's worked since the EPIA went byebyes
[21:52:06] dotCOMmie: are there cheap but decent FM tuners which work under linux?
[21:52:23] directhex: arschjucken, audio from dvb is recorded, yes
[21:52:31] directhex: arschjucken, dvb-t radio certainly works
[21:52:34] justinh: dotCOMmie: you know those 'ACME TV Tuner with FM' cards we're always swearing blind not to use? ;)
[21:52:51] justinh: they cost like $0.10 or something
[21:53:04] arschjucken: thanks directhex :) astra serves many radio stations, good to know
[21:53:05] dotCOMmie: do they work?
[21:53:08] directhex: justinh, i think i need to re-bench the pico-itx with the binary driver. via'll only bitch if i don't
[21:53:26] dotCOMmie: I dont want to spend $70 on another happauge and only use it for FM
[21:53:32] justinh: dotCOMmie: in linux? yeah

[21:57:14] justinh: hey though. bloody fragmentation being a problem. I'd never have suspected it
[21:57:35] directhex: XFS?
[21:57:39] justinh: aye
[21:57:45] directhex: full partition?
[21:58:14] justinh: no but very fragmented. like 450 files & 160000 fragments give or take a few
[21:58:50] directhex: defrag for justice?
[21:58:53] justinh: 79% full most of the time
[21:59:11] justinh: swot I'm doing now. it's much better now & the files that gave me jip earlier today seem fine
[21:59:35] directhex: 79% with very large files is enough to go past the "oh fuck" threshhold, really
[21:59:42] justinh: still though – other players spat them out just fine
[22:00:01] directhex: buffering
[22:00:11] justinh: rly? oh dear. might have to expedite that fs switchover then
[22:00:24] justinh: give jfs a spin
[22:00:44] directhex: jfs will eat your files
[22:01:12] justinh: eat as in its bad? or eat as in yum yum they'll be safe in its tum? :)
[22:01:28] directhex: is /lost+found safe?
[22:01:40] directhex: if you like rebuilding filenames manually it is, i suppose
[22:01:40] justinh: fecked if I know
[22:02:05] justinh: so.. reiser? will it dispose of the body itself too?
[22:02:16] directhex: i've suffered 2 catastrophic jfs failures in as many years, on my myth box
[22:03:46] justinh: so er.. are any linux filesystems free from builtin inadequacies that render them useless for mythtv?
[22:03:47] directhex: reiser is fine, except reiserfsck is prone to a) segfaulting and b) merging partitions togethrr for fun & profit
[22:04:42] justinh: been happy enough with xfs so far, til I found out how horrendously fragmented my recordings partition had got
[22:05:11] directhex: i think that's life with xfs. periodic defrags are recommended iirc
[22:07:11] justinh: I can't remember when I switched to it. coulda been a couple of years ago now

[23:35:09] hadees: Is it illegal to prove someone with a program that will scrape information form another site? I mean the imdb script does it in mythvideo so I would think it might be okay. Basically I have been writing a scraper for food.com on my own because I archive a few of their shows mainly Good Eats and I wanted to store the recipes. Now that Myth Recipe thought is being revived I was thinking of contacting the new Dev and seeing if he w
[23:35:09] hadees: ould be interested in using the script
[23:35:39] hadees: that way if you were recording a show off Food Network you could import the recipes
[23:36:50] hadees: i need to modify it slightly since it currently is hard coded for the shows but doing some tests i am pretty sure i could reliably look up the recipes based on the episode title

[23:39:56] DustyBin: can HD-DVD play discs at the same resolutions as blue-ray and vice versa ?
[23:40:24] iamlindoro_: yes, they're both 1080p and identical codecs
[23:40:44] DustyBin: aye ok
[23:40:46] iamlindoro_: the only things that differ are container formats and disc capacity

[23:48:58] GreyFoxx: DustyBin: No idea really
[23:48:58] DustyBin: nice
[23:49:13] iamlindoro_: or rip into the same amount of space and substantially better quality
[23:49:19] GreyFoxx: I'm looking to preserve visual quality more than disk space
