[00:06:45] iamlindoro: It's fairly common, I believe the ticket that covers it is 2077, it also makes mythtranscode fail-- I posted my script that can be run on those recordings to make them works with mythtranscode, and also with commflagging in the ticket
[00:06:54] jduggan: iamlindoro: its scart out to composite in on a pvr150
[00:07:03] iamlindoro: Ah, never mind then :)
[00:07:23] iamlindoro: In that case I blame your cable channels :)

[00:09:09] iamlindoro: hti_pr1: I'm assuming you set it up as MPEG-2 capture card type and not v4l card type in mythtv-setup, right?
[00:09:23] hti_pr1: yes this is correct
[00:09:30] iamlindoro: What card?
[00:10:22] iamlindoro: hti_pr1: ^^^^
[00:10:25] wireddd (wireddd!n=wired@unaffiliated/wireddd) has quit (Read error: 101 (Network is unreachable))
[00:10:36] hti_pr1: hauppauge pvr usb 2
[00:10:40] hti_pr1: sorry
[00:11:34] iamlindoro: In that case you should look at your backend logs, sounds as though you've set it up properly in mythtv-setup
[00:11:57] directhex: Led-Hed, the appletv is rather lacking as a FE
[00:12:21] Led-Hed: directhex, why is that? Its supports 720P
[00:12:28] iamlindoro: directhex: Good on you for taking that one on-- I'm tried of having an argument every time I try to tell someone
[00:12:33] iamlindoro: er tired
[00:12:34] directhex: Led-Hed, not in myth it doesn't
[00:12:42] ** Led-Hed thinks its better suited than a VIA Pico-ITX **
[00:12:55] hti_pr1: earlier it wasn't logging anything now i get .... Channel(/dev/video0)::TuneTo(1): Error, failed to find channel.
[00:12:57] directhex: Led-Hed, what does "it supports 720p" mean to you, exactly?
[00:13:04] directhex: Led-Hed, it's much better than a pico-itx, yes
[00:13:09] iamlindoro: directhex: So now I just stay silent and let them do what they want-- nobody wants to hear answers they don't like around here
[00:13:24] Led-Hed: it means that the hardware is capable of smooth 720p playback
[00:13:33] directhex: Led-Hed, what's a 720p?
[00:13:50] Led-Hed: HD
[00:14:14] TelnetManta: When compiling, if I only want to install the frontend what ./configure command should I run?
[00:14:15] directhex: they're no synonymous
[00:14:19] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: you're just proving his point-- 720p by itself means nothing
[00:14:34] iamlindoro: not without discussion of both codec *and* bitrate
[00:14:49] Led-Hed: ok, 1280x720
[00:14:59] iamlindoro: that's *still* just a resolution
[00:15:04] Led-Hed: at 60 fields or 30 frames per sec
[00:15:25] iamlindoro: if it's 60 fields per second it's not 720p...
[00:15:26] directhex: Led-Hed, an old s3 trio will draw an image at 1280x720 if you ask it to
[00:15:45] Led-Hed: directhex, but not smoothly
[00:15:50] TelnetManta: When compiling, if I only want to install the frontend what ./configure command should I run???
[00:15:55] TelnetManta: anyone?
[00:16:15] iamlindoro: TelnetManta: you *must* know that it's rude to repeat yourself after less than a minute
[00:16:19] Led-Hed: TelnetManta, check the wiki
[00:16:39] TelnetManta: iamlindoro: It was 1 min 20 secs.
[00:16:41] TelnetManta: :)
[00:16:47] TelnetManta: I'll keep googling. thanks.
[00:16:59] iamlindoro: TelnetManta: and thanks to that, you'll get no answer out of me
[00:17:04] Led-Hed: lol
[00:17:13] directhex: Led-Hed, i suggest a quick listen to http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/realmedia/fit4.ram
[00:17:15] TelnetManta: not a problem, but thanks anyway.
[00:17:18] Led-Hed: this channel cracks me up
[00:18:00] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: You're still not getting it-- you haven't addressed codec, nor bitrate yet... resolution means *nothing*
[00:18:09] Led-Hed: directhex, so what you are saying is that the AppleTV hardware isn't capable of smoothly playing HD content.
[00:18:10] TelnetManta: yeah, its always hard to tell the mood. I just thought i may have been missed with the heavy conversation. I meant no offense.
[00:18:11] wireddd (wireddd!n=wired@unaffiliated/wireddd) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:18:30] iamlindoro: TelnetManta: edit the configure file-- you'll see the option there, commented out
[00:18:34] TelnetManta: but, as I said, I have no problem googling for hours if I need to.
[00:18:36] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, HDTV is Mpeg2 isn't it?
[00:18:38] directhex: Led-Hed, no. i'm saying the appletv hardware is incapable of playing any "real" HD content smoothly when not using heavily optimised proprietary codecs
[00:18:47] TelnetManta: thanks iamlindoro
[00:18:48] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: Some is, some isn't
[00:18:54] directhex: Led-Hed, american broadcast hd, and a tiny minority of discs, are mpeg2
[00:20:00] Led-Hed: My EPIA frontends seem to play SD Def TV @ 1366x768 @ 60FPS (BOB) ok.
[00:20:17] Led-Hed: but as you said that is just a resolution.
[00:20:31] iamlindoro: output resolution doesn't mean anything at all
[00:20:38] Led-Hed: all my content is encoded in Mpeg2 via PVR-250
[00:20:43] iamlindoro: even less than the file resolution, in fact
[00:21:05] directhex: Led-Hed, so why do you want HD?
[00:21:17] Led-Hed: ok, so maybe I'm mounting this horse from the wrong side.
[00:21:20] directhex: Led-Hed, a pvr250 wouldn't know what hd was if it was beaten in the face with it
[00:21:47] phatmonkey (phatmonkey!n=ben@81.2.121.150) has quit ()
[00:22:00] Led-Hed: What would you say the Min specs are to smoothly playback US Broadcast HD
[00:22:21] Led-Hed: directhex, Well when I go HD I wont be using the PVR-250.
[00:22:27] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: The short short version of this story is that a few people claim to have managed American HD broadcast playback, but not without hardware assistance, and American broadcast HD is on the low low *low* end of HD. h.264 at any meaningful bitrate and MPEG-2 at a decent one will make it very sad.
[00:22:31] directhex: iamlindoro will have to call it. i don't use toy codecs where i can avoid it
[00:23:39] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: If you *only* ever intend to do broadcast MPEG-2 HD, I (and it's a stretch, but...) believe it's probably possible to tweak the shit out of the ATV and make playback work... but it's a bad idea to cut it so close, you know?
[00:24:38] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, I got that. But what would you say the Min CPU is, 2GHz?
[00:25:01] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: No, I'd say any modern, decent dual-core CPU will handle broadcast nicely
[00:25:09] iamlindoro: From Pentium D on
[00:25:32] directhex: iamlindoro, let's be fair, broadcast h264 will play on a "low end" dual core. mpeg2's not *that* demanding
[00:26:06] iamlindoro: directhex: I completely agree-- was just writing something about how it would give him the option to do multithreaded decode of a nicer codec like h.264
[00:26:50] Led-Hed: is HD from a cable box (Firewire -> Backend) different than OTA HD?
[00:27:10] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: Only that it's likely to be slightly lower bitrate than OTA
[00:27:19] Led-Hed: ok.
[00:27:22] iamlindoro: otherwise, it's more or less the same
[00:27:48] Led-Hed: so rather than an AppleTV I should look into a MacMini
[00:28:05] iamlindoro: The Minis, from personal experience, are *nice* HD frontends
[00:28:20] iamlindoro: up to and including high-bitrate h.264 material
[00:28:23] Led-Hed: Damn! That just doubled the cost.
[00:28:45] iamlindoro: Make sure you get an Intel C2D w/ Intel graphics, of course
[00:28:52] Led-Hed: ya
[00:28:57] jduggan: ive had crap experience with intel graphics
[00:28:59] jduggan: all tearing
[00:29:02] directhex: yay for educational discount
[00:29:21] Led-Hed: directhex, what do they cost with an Edu-Discount
[00:29:34] iamlindoro: jduggan: respectfully, that's a configuration issue, not an inherent hardware one
[00:29:35] directhex: Led-Hed, 10–15% off. i forget the specifics
[00:29:40] Led-Hed: ahh
[00:29:58] jduggan: iamlindoro: so im told – i cant find a config that works flawlessly
[00:30:14] directhex: i gotta go get lunch ready for tomorrow

[00:30:54] iamlindoro: jduggan: That said, I guess there's lots of Intel graphics out there, my only experience was w/ those on the Mini, but I was satisfied
[00:31:01] Led-Hed: $230 is totally doable for a HD frontend. Its hard to justify $600 per frontend
[00:31:05] iamlindoro: jduggan: I imagine some of the older chipsets might be crap
[00:31:27] ToadP (ToadP!n=jboyle@bas8-ottawa23-1177762099.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:32:29] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: If you *can* find a friend w/ edu discount it's $90 off the top
[00:32:40] iamlindoro: It's not a ton, but it helps
[00:32:56] Led-Hed: the AppleTV uses an nVidia 7300 GPU. I thought nVidia 6xxx and above GPU's could offload the HD processing.
[00:33:18] jduggan: Led-Hed: not on linux
[00:33:25] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, I'm a 1/2 time student. Not sure what qualifies for an Edu Discount
[00:33:28] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: it's 5xxx, and yes, you can use xvmc to help a little bit, but it's really not much-- you *must* use XvMC on the ATVs to amek HD work at all
[00:33:38] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: I imagine that would count for a discount
[00:34:10] Led-Hed: maybe I'll just build an Intel Based Mini-Itx
[00:34:40] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, will the MacMini Netboot (PXE)?
[00:34:41] directhex: costs more than a mac mini
[00:34:51] phatmonkey (phatmonkey!n=ben@81.2.121.150) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:35:12] Led-Hed: directhex, I already have a CPU and RAM,
[00:35:21] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: I really don't know, TBH... I imagine it would, it's a fairly standard Intel chipset across the board
[00:35:35] iamlindoro: google says yes
[00:35:56] iamlindoro: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Mac-Mini_Howto
[00:36:00] Led-Hed: I use MiniMyth on all my frontends. Makes setting up a new frontend very easy.
[00:36:11] jduggan: hrm
[00:36:21] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, thats for the PPC Mini
[00:36:30] jduggan: there's no cheap mac mini's on ebay
[00:36:35] jduggan: atleast not c2d's
[00:36:52] Led-Hed: jduggan, there isnt anything Mac that is cheap
[00:37:31] jduggan: Led-Hed: the mini is considered cheaper to buy than to build a comparitive spec box – im just saying prices on ebay dont reflect that :)
[00:37:40] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: Google *still* says yes ;)
[00:37:51] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, thanks.
[00:38:03] ** Freman wonders if he should edit http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_ . . . nd_Addons%29 and add his url to the work around for the 3rd item on the list **

[00:38:22] ** Led-Hed is bummed. He was gonna run out to Costco and get an AppleTV. **
[00:39:32] iamlindoro: Wow, interestingly, all intel macs support netboot, good stuff
[00:39:41] Led-Hed: the beauty of the AppleTV is HDMI. Only 1 cable is appealing
[00:40:01] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, you ever use MiniMyth?
[00:40:21] iamlindoro: Nope, all my myth machines are FULL ATX
[00:40:24] iamlindoro: MOAR SLOTZ
[00:40:31] Freman: only one cable... meh I don't get to see the back of my box – the 10 cables that come out don't bother me
[00:40:34] iamlindoro: MOAR TUNERZ
[00:41:06] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, you dont have to use an EPIA, I have 2 MiniMyths that are AMD+nVidia ATX boxes.

[00:42:03] xris: Led-Hed: mine are quiet
[00:42:06] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: because my frontends aren't in the same room as their displays :)
[00:42:20] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, how do you handle the remote?
[00:42:25] Led-Hed: IR in the wall?
[00:42:34] jamesd: i want fanz, but i don't want them to run 99% of the time.

[00:42:42] Led-Hed: xris, mine are too. Most of the are fanless
[00:42:44] sshirley: Hi all. I have an interesting problem with MythTV. :-)
[00:42:45] Freman: I just build 2 very nice myth boxes a frontend that was an epia (something I'll never do again – so fidlly) and a back/frontend on a nvidia microatx – very nice
[00:42:48] minthome: does, uh... the trunk have the addon's and themes?
[00:43:09] minthome: or is that a seperate svn all together?
[00:43:18] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, what would you say your longest IR cable run is?
[00:43:22] Freman: I'm going to upgrade mine to use one of those silent water cooling systems with the big cooling tower radiator :)
[00:43:38] Led-Hed: Freman, watercooling is overrated.
[00:43:39] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: It's USB, but I'd say no more than 20 feet or so
[00:43:47] sshirley: I recently changed directories on recordings. Now it seems that whenever I watch live tv, it ends on on my hard drive where I want my recordsing to go. When I schedule something to record, it doesn't
[00:43:50] Led-Hed: Just but a portable AC unit.
[00:44:26] iamlindoro: minthome: trunk just = current development of all things myth, so there is trunk/mythtv and trunk/mythplusings, which are checked out seperately
[00:44:31] iamlindoro: er mythplugins
[00:44:45] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, ahh. I was considering doing the same thing, except I use Lirc_Homebrew.
[00:44:54] minthome: gotcha, thanks
[00:45:36] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: It's awful clean looking, and more silent than the silent-est frontend :) Plus I can fit a dozen tuners, tons of disks, etc. in without worries about sound
[00:45:57] minthome: iamlindoro, what's the difference in themes and myththemes? I assume themes is user themes?
[00:46:01] iamlindoro: Not that I *have* a dozen tuners, I'm just using four right now, but nice to know I could :)
[00:46:20] iamlindoro: minthome: myththemes is core themes, just "themes" is user-contributed, yes
[00:46:27] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, thats 1 HAWT closet
[00:46:55] Freman: Led-Hed: it is, and it isn't – I can kill the noise of 3 fans and add cooling to the hard disks.
[00:47:00] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: It do get warm, I'll admit... but I leave lots of clearance between items and put a vent into the ceiling
[00:47:05] minthome: how's trunk doing right now? should I stick with 21-fixes?
[00:47:21] iamlindoro: minthome: I would *strongly* advise against trunk as of today

[00:47:30] minthome: thank you much...
[00:47:38] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, I have a portable AC in my closet.
[00:47:58] iamlindoro: .21-fixes is very recent, you're not missing much, and today the qt4 branch went in so unless you're in it for the bug-squashing, stick with .21-fixes
[00:48:44] iamlindoro: Led-Hed: managed to get away without it, just having the egress for the air seems to have worked well over the last year. Had one drive failure but I consider that par for the course on any complex setup
[00:50:48] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, I need to rig some kind of smart vent so that I dont have to run the AC in the Winter.

[01:00:10] territory: any easy way to fix this
[01:00:10] xris: territory: because you didn't compile your own version of ffmpeg with mp3 support

[01:00:37] mjj29: nothing to do with the gpl
[01:00:45] xris: mjj29: yes it does.
[01:00:46] mjj29: to do with the active patents on mp3 decoders
[01:00:54] xris: mjj29: which has to do with the gpl
[01:01:01] mjj29: xris: not really
[01:01:04] xris: gpl and patents don't get along
[01:01:06] mjj29: gpl covers copyright
[01:01:13] mjj29: is ffmpeg gpl3?
[01:01:34] xris: I believe there are also interpretations of v2 that cover patent incompatibilities.
[01:01:48] territory: any easy way to recompile ffmpeg with mp3 support?
[01:02:05] iamlindoro_: territory: if you consider the normal way of compiling easy, then yes :)

[01:02:46] mjj29: xris: hmm, you're right, S7 seems to cover that
[01:03:00] iamlindoro_: territory: presuming you *are* on ubuntu, there are *many* howtos on how to compile ffmpeg on the ubuntu forums IIRC
[01:03:14] iamlindoro_: It's not as hard as you think, build-dep FTW
[01:03:16] territory: i am
[01:03:21] mjj29: territory: depends, if you just need to recompile ubuntu source with a different compile flag it's easy
[01:03:32] ** mkrufky says hello to the world **
[01:03:33] mjj29: if they stripped stuff from the source, it's harder
[01:03:59] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Hola!
[01:04:06] xris: mjj29: I have to answer that question a LOT in here.
[01:04:27] territory: aight think i found info from google
[01:04:33] mkrufky: :-) I had a huge merge today ... stuff that was waiting for weeks and weeks and weeks.,...
[01:04:42] xris: thought I had a thing about flash mp3 in the readme for mythweb, though.. guess I left if off because people aren't supposed to turn that on in mythweb unless they know what they're doing.
[01:04:45] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Any new goodies we'd like?
[01:04:50] mkrufky: finally we have real support for hybrid tuners

[01:04:53] mjj29: apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev; apt-get source ffmpeg; apt-get build-dep ffmpeg; cd ffmpeg-*; vim debian/rules (change the ./configure line); dch -i (bumps the version); dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[01:05:01] iamlindoro_: ah, nice!
[01:05:05] mjj29: ^^ the quick how-to if it's just a compile option
[01:05:18] mkrufky: ie: one tuner module for one tuner, instead of splitting between tuner-simple and dvb-pll
[01:05:20] mjj29: (and assuming that's the package name)
[01:05:35] mkrufky: to most users, no difference at all.....
[01:06:11] mkrufky: the only really noticeable difference is on cards with tuv1236d / fcv1236d, such as the kworld atsc110/5
[01:06:20] joecurlee: hi, i have been having issues with HDTV since upgrading to 0.21 so I uninstalled mythtv and reinstalled mythtv 0.20 using synaptic (on ubuntu 7.10)... no for some reason I can't add my capture card...
[01:06:27] joecurlee: I'm using an HDHomeRun capture device and am able to detect and ping it
[01:06:30] mkrufky: now you have much better control of which input spigot to use for analog / atsc / qam
[01:06:35] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Have a 110 and 115, but using the NTSC side would make me feel dirty
[01:07:12] joecurlee: when adding "new capture card" in mythtv-setup I choose the HDHomeRun box and choose "finish" but it doesn't seem to save it...
[01:07:19] jamesd: iamlindoro i agree, i feel the same way, and i have 2x 115's
[01:07:46] mkrufky: hehehe... i actually like to use tvtime for analog when im sitting in front of my pc working on stuff...... if i start a HD stream then i end up WATCHING it
[01:07:59] mkrufky: but i always use analog for "background noise"
[01:08:03] joecurlee: if i navigate to "input connections" i get a blank menu... google is turning up no results. any help would be very useful. thanks
[01:08:15] directhex: medibuntu provides "illegal" ffmpeg builds
[01:08:17] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: How are you going to live w/o LOST for a few weeks?  :)
[01:08:20] directhex: to save faffing about
[01:08:46] xris: aha.. "[mythweb] currently expects that ffmpeg is installed and compiled with mp3 support".. from the warning on the page you go through to turn it on.
[01:08:58] xris: maybe I should change that to add "which most distributions DO NOT have"
[01:09:09] iamlindoro_: "This means YOU, *buntu!"
[01:09:11] mkrufky: thats a good question, iamlindoro_
[01:09:11] directhex: xris, or just test for it?
[01:09:17] ** mkrufky knows who Jacob is **
[01:09:26] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Oh yeah?
[01:09:27] xris: directhex: because I'm lazy and it's a proof of concept.
[01:09:44] xris: and people would complain that they have ffmpeg installed and the flv player STILL doesn't work.
[01:09:44] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Your own conclusion, or a spoiler somewhere?
[01:09:55] mkrufky: fact — from the show
[01:10:03] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: What'd I miss??
[01:10:11] mkrufky: go to s4e01, watch when hurley finds the shack, freeze frame it when you see the guy on the rockingchair
[01:10:22] mkrufky: take a screenshot,. throw it into photoshop
[01:10:27] mkrufky: (or the GIMP)
[01:10:36] mkrufky: and lighten it up, then observe the identity
[01:10:41] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: this sounds like I lot of wrk, I'll just guess it's Jack's dad and leave it at that :)
[01:10:45] mkrufky: yes!
[01:10:50] iamlindoro_: hehe
[01:10:55] mkrufky: how did YOU know?
[01:10:55] directhex: xris, so when they try to enable it, run "/path/to/suggested/ffmpeg --help 2>&1 | grep lame" and throw an error on no output. it's not much more complex than that is it?
[01:11:15] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: I'd been guessing for a while, he showed up on the island in episode one and hasn't been heard from since
[01:11:25] xris: except that older versions of ffmpeg still say "mp3"

[01:11:49] mkrufky: iamlindoro_ did you see missing pieces # 13 ?
[01:12:11] mkrufky: iamlindoro_ i didnt actually do the screenshot myself — its on lostpedia
[01:12:14] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: No, I don't really follow much of the stuff outside the show itself TBH, even though I love it
[01:12:16] directhex: xris, so grep for mp3. it's mp3lame here.
[01:12:23] xris: yeah
[01:12:36] mkrufky: iamlindoro_ you will thank me for this — here is one full episode worth of footage
[01:12:47] xris: but I'm lazy, so I probably won't
[01:12:48] iamlindoro_: :) Ooh!
[01:13:08] directhex: xris, patches accepted?
[01:13:16] xris: if they're good/clean
[01:13:20] mkrufky: iamlindoro_: you must watch this in its entirety — do not cheat, you;ll only be hurting yourself.
[01:13:28] iamlindoro_: hehe, ok
[01:13:38] xris: would need to pull path from env and check all possible locations for ffmpeg, etc.
[01:13:44] directhex: xris, php & javascript? how could it not be?
[01:13:48] mkrufky: lol, firefox crashed ...
[01:14:09] mkrufky: iamlindoro_: go to lost.abc.com , click on "missing pieces home" link on the left
[01:14:17] mkrufky: ...and watch THEM ALL!
[01:14:27] iamlindoro_: hehe, ok, I shall
[01:14:43] mkrufky: ping me when you're done, and i'll point out a few things for you
[01:14:47] iamlindoro_: thanks
[01:14:52] mkrufky: you're welcome
[01:15:14] ** iamlindoro_ wonders if you can download them as video files **
[01:15:23] ** mkrufky wishes **
[01:15:44] iamlindoro_: erm, here they are :)
[01:16:27] xris: iamlindoro_: the new real player lets you suck any web flv content down to your local drive.
[01:16:33] mkrufky: ok, this is showing them in reverse order from when they were released, but that doesnt matter ... so long as you see all of them
[01:16:44] xris: and it doesn't suck that badly.... (then again, I have to stick up for my friend who is in charge of the project)
[01:17:06] iamlindoro_: Heh... I've become a snob about web video
[01:17:18] iamlindoro_: I'm gonna grab them and watch 'em on the box

[01:39:37] minthome: wtf ERROR! You must have a threaded Qt installed to compile MythTV.
[01:39:48] minthome: i'm using qt 4.3.3–4
[01:41:13] territory: yay i got my ffmpeg with mp3 compiled ;]
[01:41:15] territory: and working
[01:41:54] iamlindoro_: minthome: if you are using release, myth requires qt3, not 4
[01:43:53] minthome: Ah... that'll do it
[01:45:52] mcquaid: my box crashed and on reboot. somehow the mixer defaulted to recording mic instead of cd audio (my tuner passes throuhg cd audio on the mobo)
[01:46:15] mcquaid: i don't actually see anywhere to set to record on line in/mic/cd audio. can that be configured in .21?
[01:46:39] minthome: iamlindoro_, yep, rolled back to qt3 and it works fine
[01:53:37] territory: how do i use unrar with ubuntu, never did b4, i tried unrar e file.rar
[01:53:41] territory: and it said no files to extract
[01:54:31] DustyBin: i can confirm that the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 with the latest firmware / v4l drivers is pretty dam stable as long as EIT is turned off
[01:54:49] DustyBin: ive never seen mythtv this stable ever :D
[01:59:27] DustyBin: infact im waiting for the bastard to crash
[01:59:31] DustyBin: hurry up and crash
[02:00:03] DustyBin: if mythtv carries on like this im going to have to install it on windows, that will teach it

[02:13:58] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: Well, I've watched them, tough to fit them into the contexts out of order like that

[02:14:41] iamlindoro_: yeah, I know, just saying trying to figure out where they come in the course of the show

[02:14:56] mkrufky: unlike yemmie
[02:15:32] iamlindoro_: I've often thought the fact taht he was flying his fathers body back was going to be relevant, so kinda makes me wonder whether he's a "vessel" of some sort

[02:18:22] Aval0n: button to change from ac3 passthrough
[02:18:29] Aval0n: or maybe that's not what you were saying
[02:18:37] DustyBin: Aval0n: have a look to see if you can assign a key to it

[02:19:52] mkrufky: iamlindoro_: this is one of those things that i havent been able to really find an explanation for
[02:19:58] DustyBin: Aval0n: or here yourmythweb/mythweb/settings/mythtv/keys
[02:20:05] Aval0n: Here is my problem. I have HDMI out and it carries audio to MY tv. It is the SAME feed that my tosslink cable sends out to my reciever. So for normal TV the receiver is off and the TV is on. Works great. Now for when I watch a movie I have it go to the reciever.. but I want THX select2 or DTS I need to enable ac3 passthrough which on my TV just hisses
[02:20:24] Aval0n: ok thanks
[02:20:25] mkrufky: iamlindoro_: the whole thing about dead characters telling us that they know they're dead but they appear nonetheless
[02:20:40] iamlindoro_: ie Charlie?
[02:20:54] mkrufky: yeah
[02:20:58] mkrufky: and yemmie

[02:27:05] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: The other thing that just occurred to me, did we ever figure out what the "injections" people allegedly needed to survive were in season 1?
[02:27:26] mkrufky: injections, for claire and aaron?
[02:27:29] iamlindoro_: yah

[02:31:36] mkrufky: it doesnt mean anything to die on this show
[02:31:56] iamlindoro_: Hehe, right, but I want to see him+Sun+Behbeh happy
[02:32:16] iamlindoro_: I only really care about them, Hurley, maybe Sayid...

[02:33:04] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: There's a *high* likelihood that it will turn that way, though, IMO
[02:33:14] mkrufky: yeah i think you're right
[02:33:33] iamlindoro_: That said, I'll get over it if they write it right :)
[02:33:42] iamlindoro_: I can't take many more endings like "Ji Yeon"
[02:33:44] mkrufky: heroes kinda beat that storyline to death, and they'll probably do it again next year
[02:34:04] iamlindoro_: Heroes + Any Star Trek, ever
[02:34:05] mkrufky: u didnt like how ji yeon was written?
[02:34:20] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: No, I loved it! One of my favorites in a Loooooong time, just a very sad ending
[02:34:27] mkrufky: ah, yes
[02:34:36] mkrufky: agreed
[02:34:37] iamlindoro_: mkrufky: It's one of the first shows I've gone back to watch three or four times because it's just so "perfect."
[02:35:08] mkrufky: im still very surprised by the MOST recent death
[02:35:18] iamlindoro_: x 2
[02:35:25] mkrufky: ...and i was kinda hoping we'd get a flashback episode for her, eventually
[02:35:27] iamlindoro_: well, nobody will miss whatsisname
[02:35:52] iamlindoro_: but as you said, dying means nothing on this show :)
[02:36:17] mkrufky: yeah, but once a character dies, i doubt we'll have any more episodes that focus on that character
[02:36:26] iamlindoro_: true
[02:36:27] mkrufky: ie, not a flashback ep for that char

[08:32:23] hadees: It doesn't happen very often but every once and a while MythTV won't record shows right and i just get a 0.00 file in the interface when it tries to use that tuner. Then I have to restart (possibly just kill mythbackend and reload the ivtv module). I was wondering if there would be some way i could automate this so after the first time it happens it reloads itself.
[08:33:28] Tanthrix: Apart from writing some kind of script that monitors your record directory for files that remain zero bytes after X amount of time and then performing the necessary tasks, I don't think there is anything you could do
[08:34:16] hadees: maybe thats what i will do
[08:34:27] hadees: its really annoying when it happens to a show i really wanted to watch
[08:35:32] Tanthrix: Presumably all you'd need to do is make a script that kills mythbackend, reloads whatever tuner is having issues, then restarts mythbackend. Not sure how you'd make it monitor file sizes
[08:35:49] hadees: i don't think i need to monitor file sizes
[08:36:06] hadees: from what i can tell of the backend logs i don't think it is creating the files to being with
[08:36:17] hadees: so i just need to compare the files in the database to what files actually exist
[08:36:51] hadees: only thing is then i have to figure out how to cleanly delete the files from the database
[08:37:02] hadees: i wonder if the mythtv perl modules can do that
[08:37:20] hadees: i mean delete the recordings from the database
[08:37:33] justinh: Raspberry: mythvideo has supported multiple directories for ages. What was lacking was the knowledge the field is a colon (or is it semicolon) separated list :)
[08:37:55] justinh: Raspberry: in 0.21 the help text for the path entry box now tells you
[08:38:14] hadees: justinh, wow, i never knew that, then again i never really needed too
[08:38:31] hadees: i wish mythvideo had better support for tv shows though
[08:38:35] justinh: I didn't know that until fairly recently either
[08:38:50] hadees: some of those views only really work for movies
[08:39:12] justinh: somebody was working on better categorisation a while back. dunno whatever happened to that
[08:39:27] hadees: right now i have a sql query that makes everything in my TV show dir not browsable
[08:39:52] hadees: and thats how i handle it but it gets annoying when you add more files
[08:40:34] justinh: be cool to have a 'last watched' field in the video metadata table IMHO – something I plan to look at eventually
[08:41:00] hadees: anyone hear any updates on MythRecipe?
[08:41:24] justinh: then when you have a complete series in there that you're trying to watch in sequence, you stand a better chance of selecting one you've not already seen ;)
[08:41:33] hadees: i just wrote a script for my self that downloads all recipes from food network's website for a given show
[08:41:36] justinh: hadees: work on the UI part of it hasn't even started yet
[08:42:11] hadees: i was thinking of contacting the dev and seeing if he would be interested if i modified the script so you could add recipes from the food network for recordings you have.
[08:42:17] justinh: I'm of the opinion I'd much rather see improvements in mythtv's core functionality first

[08:43:48] hadees: one of these days tough i'll get over my fear
[08:43:50] Tanthrix: This is bizarre. My MCE remote randomly stopped working in the middle of using it.
[08:43:55] justinh: 1. make the list of shows to be expired more like show lists in other areas – possibly try to estimate when they'll be expired too – much more detail than the list in the status pages
[08:44:32] hadees: i can't wait till the script that auto detects the fill size to use is added
[08:44:47] justinh: s/script/patch
[08:44:56] Tanthrix: IRW picks up nothing from it, despite the fact my other remote continues to work fine. The MCE remote also continues to work fine for the TV, but not for the computer.
[08:44:57] hadees: yeah thats what i meant
[08:45:02] hadees: too busy thinking of my own scripts
[08:45:23] hadees: I just got a versapoint rf keyboard with built in mouse
[08:45:29] justinh: I made a list somewhere.. can't remember where I put it

[08:46:00] hadees: works so much faster then lirc
[08:46:01] justinh: oh yeah I'd love to have a much better search feature – infact more like mythmusic's smart search
[08:46:30] justinh: I've looked at those 2 things at least, and they're within my puny coding ability
[08:46:50] justinh: it's a pity that only mythmusic has that nifty search feature

[08:47:38] hadees: my dream project for mythtv is to make it work as a slingbox, i would love to have a mythtv backend at my parents house so i can watch my favorite sports teams
[08:47:43] justinh: oh yeah IMHO the remoteedit text entry (think mobile phone style text entry) could use an onscreen key to show you what the keys are

[08:49:05] justinh: the boxes where you can do alphanumeric entries with only the number keys
[08:49:14] justinh: you must've seen those
[08:49:43] hadees: i wish i could find out who makes the ATI Remote Wonder I & II and the Niveus Remote. I am guessing it is Chinese company but i would love to get them to make a MythTV remote
[08:49:52] hadees: with the buttons labeled
[08:49:56] justinh: it does (kind of) show you what characters are available but they only come up in the text entry box once you've already pressed a button
[08:50:29] justinh: hadees: with my simple addition.. no need to have a remote with letters on the number buttons :)
[08:50:45] justinh: just _little_ things – they'll make a world of difference
[08:50:49] hadees: Justinh, eh it would be nice
[08:51:21] hadees: i also want mythtv to be able to use a touchscreen on the case. so i could finally get this case http://atechfabrication.com/products/heatsync_6000.htm
[08:51:31] justinh: it's the mythrecipe guys' perogative to do whatever they want of course, but IMHO there are things that need attention closer to home first
[08:51:40] hadees: i mean i could get it with out the touch screen but it costs so much why wouldn't you get a touch screen while you are at it
[08:52:01] justinh: with the mythui port a lot more things will be clickable
[08:52:26] hadees: Justinh yea but you need xinerama support
[08:52:33] hadees: you don't want both screens showing the same thing
[08:52:57] justinh: oooo complexity
[08:53:23] hadees: you might want the menus to be showing but i think it would be distracting to have it show video playing.
[08:53:26] justinh: put the UI on one screen & the playback on the main output going to the TV, you mean?
[08:53:39] hadees: yeah but you would have to do more then that
[08:53:46] hadees: like put a clock up
[08:53:54] justinh: serious work there
[08:54:13] justinh: maybe qt4 would make that a lot easier
[08:54:20] hadees: yeah it isn't an easy project but it would be 1000x better then the current lcd support
[08:54:33] justinh: way things are now, myth can't draw outside the parent UI window

[08:57:31] hadees: if you didn't do the touch screen stuff you could use one of the playstation mobile screens and those cost next to nothing now
[08:57:34] justinh: personally I'll always opt to have a small frontend box under the TV
[08:58:18] justinh: I've been known to go off & try to find out about the DS Lite touchscreens – people have those working on linux apparently – and they're pretty cheap

[09:06:22] justinh: that's the one thing (the only thing) standalone PVRs have over pc-based systems
[09:06:43] justinh: form factor. oh and maybe power consumption
[09:11:35] bsdfox: cost
[09:11:37] bsdfox: :)
[09:12:05] justinh: bsdfox: believe me, when you look at the things a standalone PVR _cannot_ do, cost doesn't even come into it
[09:12:21] justinh: even just concentrating on TV features
[09:13:28] justinh: this is the problem when you do all the decoding in hardware – if you can't separate the audio & video streams you can't do nifty stuff like time compression
[09:15:50] justinh: well, more facts have emerged about the missing instruction from the new CPU we're using here. it's a faulty batch after all
[09:16:09] hadees: huh?
[09:17:11] justinh: we got a bunch of prototype boards made up, all using sample CPU components – all worked fine. then the first batch of production boards had problems due to a missing cmov instruction on the CPU

[09:18:57] noclue: i'm trying to use mytharchive to burn a video to a DVD and i'm having some issues. firstly, it's a 4GB file, and mytharchive says it's only 66MB
[09:19:11] bsdfox: not familiar with it
[09:19:22] justinh: bsdfox: it's not x86 :P
[09:19:55] bsdfox: I play with some risc/arm microcontrollers
[09:20:05] Raspberry: justinh: I see that now :)
[09:20:53] noclue: second, i already used mythtranscode to cut out commercials from a custlist so it should be mpeg2, but mytharchive keeps trying to run mythtranscode --mpeg2 every time it runs.
[09:20:57] Raspberry: is anybody else having much heavier cpu load for commflag and frontend in 0.21 than 0.20.2?
[09:21:18] Raspberry: HD TV is now choppy to playback on the system, but it records fine and plays back w/o issue on another front-end
[09:22:26] Raspberry: is there any documentation for MythVideo available on the web?
[09:23:48] Raspberry: also :) since we're on the subject... is there any way to set metadata for all video files in a directory? Like I know all shows are Simpsons ... so I don't have to set all 18 seasons

[09:33:45] clever: bigest problem was the 50kb/sec link between the slaves

[09:35:25] noclue: justinh: okay, i'll let it run its course. any idea why mytharchive would only think it's a 66MB file?

[10:50:42] directhex|work: justinh, dress it up as "you can chat with your friends and use facebook or whatever at the same time as watching soaps!" then use the tv for games
[10:50:46] justinh: mythtaste (tm) to the rescue
[10:51:02] justinh: directhex|work: one internet widow in the house is enough
[10:51:25] justinh: that's a point actually – if TV rots your brain, what does hanging out on IRC too much do?!
[10:51:41] Raspberry (Raspberry!n=raspberr@wireless.wizardtechnologies.net) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[10:52:17] directhex|work: justinh, cancer
[10:53:59] DustyBin: why cancer? lack of exercise?
[10:54:07] justinh: ah good
[10:54:22] hashbang: DustyBin: no, I use 1024x768 for UI output, and have mythfrontend switch to 720x576pali modeline (see xorg.conf) for playback. The driver thinks it's displaying 720x576, but actually just doubles each scanline (or something very much like it)
[10:55:20] hashbang: DustyBin: the UI and X desktop should be properly interlaced, however. It's purely an Xv thing.
[10:56:36] justinh: anyway, she's not getting on my desktop machine any more than she does now – bad enough trying to keep it from being riddled as it is
[10:56:56] justinh: and I'd not trust her to watch telly on the backend machine
[10:57:44] Dibblah: "riddled"? It's Winders?
[10:57:50] justinh: not behaving as expected? oh just press every button until _something_ happens
[10:58:16] justinh: Dibblah: course it's winders. can't do nuffink useful on 'ux yet
[10:58:47] Dibblah: Meh. Recent distros are mostly plug-n-play.
[10:58:50] justinh: don't waste your breath saying GIMP & inkscape please
[10:59:02] justinh: and cinelerra
[10:59:06] justinh: and Jokosher
[10:59:14] Dibblah: GIMP is a bit of a joke, compared to photoshop.
[10:59:24] Dibblah: But why bother, since PS runs in WINE?
[10:59:39] justinh: I don't actually own a copy of photoshop. I hate it, personally
[10:59:52] Dibblah: What's your weapon of choice?
[11:00:41] hashbang: Dibblah: what do you need in GIMP that PS has? The colour management stuff?
[11:00:49] justinh: PSP
[11:00:54] justinh: 9
[11:01:06] Dibblah: hashbang: A user interface.
[11:01:08] justinh: might argue that's why all my themes sucked :P
[11:01:38] justinh: Dibblah: I hate the PS UI. It lacks intuitiveness more than GIMP
[11:01:42] hashbang: Dibblah: I found PS's UI hard to use seeing as I started with GIMP when it was a Motif app.
[11:02:08] directhex|work: if only there was some kind of GIMP Tool Kit. they could enhance it!
[11:02:33] justinh: anyway, the core themes were developed in GIMP & look at them
[11:02:35] DustyBin: hashbang: aye thanks
[11:02:46] hashbang: DustyBin: make sense?
[11:02:55] DustyBin: yep more thank before
[11:03:02] hashbang: DustyBin: cool
[11:03:16] ** DustyBin will send justinh the bill for damaged crt **
[11:03:31] hashbang: DustyBin: oddly, interlaced Xv output to /composite/ works fine, apparently. It's a VGA thing.
[11:03:41] justinh: DustyBin: like theme support request emails.. it'll go to the spam filter
[11:03:51] DustyBin: lol
[11:03:57] hashbang: DustyBin: presumably the driver assumes that all VGA displays are progressive these days, and 'helpfully' deinterlaces for you.
[11:04:27] hashbang: either that, or the driver hackers at nVidia smoke crack.
[11:04:30] DustyBin: ill test all this out tomorrow, just waiting for vga > vga cable
[11:04:31] ** hashbang shrugs **
[11:04:45] hashbang: DustyBin: don't you have a Maplin branch handy?
[11:05:18] DustyBin: not that local no, busy today, need to send some of my desk back to digital village
[11:05:42] hashbang: fairy muff
[11:06:14] DustyBin: i ordered some vga > vga on ebuyer
[11:06:49] justinh: there's always time in the day to go to maplin & abuse the staff for being thick
[11:07:16] hashbang: justinh: I usually find there's precisely one per store who knows electronics stuff better than I.
[11:07:21] justinh: just make sure you get an AGP VGA cable – the pci-e ones they sell are more expensive
[11:08:00] hashbang: justinh: but TBH, they're just a shop like PC World, and they'll recruit based on previous retail experience, rather than specialist experience...
[11:08:09] justinh: and?
[11:08:22] justinh: so that makes their staff being cluess okay does it?
[11:08:50] hashbang: justinh: well, I'm not sure why you'd expect a higher standard of Maplin than, say, Dixons, Sainsbury's or Soundcontrol or wherever.
[11:08:55] justinh: currys are the same, which is why I tend to avoid all the big sheds

[11:09:15] hashbang: justinh: the modern way is that the consumer does the research, and takes the shop staff advice at their own risk.
[11:09:27] justinh: pay a little extra, get decent warranty included & the staff know WTF they're talking about
[11:09:33] hashbang: justinh: if you have other expectations, you'll nearly always be disappointed.
[11:09:47] justinh: never found any of the usual suspects to be cheaper anyway
[11:10:30] hashbang: justinh: IME, a lot of places /pretend/ to be more clued, charge more accordingly, but then just sell over-priced shit that's /still/ inadequate or badly made.
[11:11:14] hashbang: justinh: don't misunderstand me, I'd love to see a revival of truly clued shops
[11:11:20] justinh: tellies from John Lewis ftw
[11:11:33] hashbang: justinh: but the majority of customers would just pick their brains, then go save 20% by ordering online or whatever.
[11:12:05] justinh: hashbang: and not get free delivery at a good time, and bypass the 5 year standard warranty. their loss I spose
[11:12:20] justinh: your appliance will be delivered.. 'sometime'
[11:12:22] hashbang: (actually not just clued, but clued and genuinely trying to give the best advice for the customer)
[11:12:35] hashbang: justinh: yeah, I tend to buy white goods from JL
[11:12:36] justinh: and they price match
[11:12:53] hashbang: justinh: OTOH, they sold me a Samsung DVD HT that just burnt out after 2.5 years service
[11:13:02] ccooke: Hmm. This place seems to be rather more UK based than I expected...
[11:13:14] justinh: ccooke: depends on the time of day
[11:13:18] hashbang: justinh: not JL's fault, but there was a time when you could rely on them to only sell stuff that was a bit better than average.
[11:13:35] hashbang: justinh: i.e. they'd weeded out the obvious crap already.
[11:13:40] justinh: hashbang: was it not covered under t'warranty then?
[11:13:52] hashbang: justinh: only standard Samsung 1 year warranty.
[11:13:57] justinh: bah
[11:14:08] hashbang: justinh: JL don't extend the warranty on everything they sell any more.
[11:15:09] justinh: it's actually worth more than the likes the big sheds give out though – how many ext. warranties give you a free loaner ?
[11:15:31] hashbang: justinh: yup, JL's warranties seem pretty good
[11:15:40] hashbang: justinh: /when/ they offer them
[11:15:58] hashbang: justinh: and Richer Sounds' 'supercare' is the only extended warranty I pay for.
[11:16:01] justinh: when my TV 5 year thing ran out I was offerred to extend it another 5 at a really good price
[11:16:03] directhex|work: what's with all the JL own-brand electronics these days?
[11:16:19] justinh: sounds nasty

[11:18:41] hashbang: although I do wish they silkscreened their remote buttons a bit better. :-)
[11:18:47] justinh: they still rebadge gash gear though – I bought an 'mp3 player' with their name on & it was bollocks

[11:23:11] justinh: not only that, they'll buy a £5 HDTV
[11:23:13] hashbang: justinh: heh, yeah, refer to my earlier 20% comment
[11:23:16] directhex|work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQa4HHkhwVg
[11:23:47] justinh: not that paying more necessarily guarantees you'll get the goods though
[11:24:29] justinh: my Dad has been through about 15 Freeview STBs so far. he lives within spitting distance of the mast & so far the £15 Tesco STB has lasted the longest
[11:24:29] hashbang: justinh: I'm pretty sure that Samsung DVD HT was just an upgraded version of the guts in the Tesco-bought 'Venturer' it replaced (which burnt out within the year warranty)
[11:24:54] hashbang: justinh: my parents are doing well with the Goodmans and Tevion cheapies I've bought them
[11:24:57] justinh: tried a £100 sony box & it was worse than the cheapest ASDA one
[11:25:15] hashbang: justinh: PSU, bad firmware update, or unknown?
[11:25:20] justinh: the other problem is just how disposable CE has got
[11:25:27] justinh: hashbang: just generally shit
[11:25:47] hashbang: justinh: I've found a lot of CE can be revived by simply replacing all the electrolytic caps on the mainboard
[11:25:53] directhex|work: venturer are the only non-toshiba company to make an hd-dvd-only player!
[11:26:26] justinh: wonder how the HD-DVD mythtv frontend project is going.. (SNIGGER)
[11:26:57] directhex|work: to be fair, the original toshiba hd-dvd player has much more realistic cpu capabilities than most mythtv-embedded ideas

[13:32:35] DustyBin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/RGB_Scart
[13:33:09] DustyBin: "This is a working Interlaced PAL TV setup. The relevant sections of xorg.conf are below. Note the "composite" keyword which causes the Radeon to generate composite sync directly."

[13:39:31] justinh: oops
[13:39:50] justinh: yeah but what use is a working pal interlaced output that doesn't work with xv? – NONE :)
[13:40:18] DustyBin: aye ok
[13:40:38] DustyBin: as long as my s-video noise goes away ill be quite happy
[13:40:46] DustyBin: if the picture looks slightly better thats a bonus

[13:42:19] justinh: maybe a windows frontend is the way forward after all – I mean in windows you can expect h.264 acceleration with some graphics chipsets
[13:43:13] DustyBin: aye good point
[13:43:22] DustyBin: could even use a ATI card in windows with mythtv?
[13:44:03] justinh: but – mythfrontend working in windows is one thing – getting direct3d video acceleration is quite another
[13:45:31] directhex|work: it would require major changes to ffmpeg

[13:49:01] st1650: I want to build a mythtv front end – no hard drives boot from network
[13:49:09] justinh: easy
[13:49:11] st1650: Which cpu does the work
[13:49:11] justinh: next!
[13:49:18] justinh: what?
[13:49:19] st1650: the front end or the back end
[13:49:30] justinh: playback is done by the frontend
[13:49:34] st1650: ok
[13:49:59] st1650: So the AMD 780G will be perfect for HD content
[13:50:05] justinh: pfft
[13:50:13] st1650: price wise I mean
[13:50:14] justinh: it won't
[13:50:16] justinh: it won't
[13:50:19] st1650: nuts
[13:50:22] st1650: really?
[13:50:33] justinh: really
[13:50:39] hadees: anyone in here able to get 802.11n to work with HDTV?
[13:50:57] st1650: I could play 720P content on my old Dell Inspiron 9100 (P4HT + Ati 9700)
[13:51:11] hadees: i saw someone who was able to with linksys cards and so i bought one but it still skips a little
[13:51:12] justinh: st1650: in linux?
[13:51:30] hadees: i mean it is almost there but i am thinking nsdiwrapper is slowing it down or something
[13:51:35] st1650: Humm I had gentoo running with mplyaer I guess
[13:51:41] st1650: Also had VLC on windows
[13:51:45] justinh: mplayer != mythtv
[13:51:50] justinh: vlc on windows != mythtv
[13:51:55] st1650: oh
[13:51:57] justinh: (surprisingly)
[13:52:04] hadees: lol
[13:52:06] st1650: I though mythtv used mplayer as backend
[13:52:15] justinh: where the fuck do people get that idea?
[13:52:29] justinh: it has its own player
[13:52:31] J-e-f-f-A|work: I had a PIII 1Ghz with 512mb ram playing 720p, with an occasional stutter, and major stutturing with OSD displayed. 100Mb wired network, Nvidia with XVMC
[13:52:36] jvs: because mplayer rules :)

[13:52:51] hadees: st1650, i think that may be that other linux dvr
[13:52:54] st1650: mplayer is usually the reference in multimedia playback on nix
[13:53:12] justinh: nah
[13:53:14] hadees: yeah but mythtv needs to do different things
[13:53:25] justinh: the reference should be – if mythtv can play it, anything else should have no problem
[13:53:37] st1650: understood
[13:54:03] st1650: but couldn't I compile some special ati drivers that offload the rendering to the GPU ?
[13:54:19] st1650: or Ati sucks that much in *nix and doesn't offer anything beside 2d ?
[13:54:23] justinh: hell my celeron 733 with 128MB ram could play 720P mpeg2 almost flawlessly
[13:54:33] justinh: ATI sucks in linux full stop
[13:54:34] hadees: st1650, ati has 3d support now
[13:54:38] hadees: nvidia is just way better
[13:54:49] justinh: nvidia is closed source but they WORK
[13:55:06] justinh: one day the scales may tip the other way but until they do...
[13:55:06] J-e-f-f-A|work: st1650: Also, to clarify – my setup was playing back North-America ATSC 720p, which is currently MPEG2. The old PIII wouldn't have a chance to decode MPEG4 or H.264...
[13:55:07] hadees: getting an nvidia card that will work with MythTV is really cheap
[13:55:30] justinh: hadees: cheap and let's not forget _dead_ _easy_
[13:55:45] hadees: processor decoding for HDTV is soooo much simpler
[13:55:53] hadees: i gave up trying to get the gpu to do it
[13:56:00] hadees: and just bought a better cpu
[13:56:11] justinh: when opengl rendering comes to mythtv properly (if not already), that'll change again
[13:56:22] justinh: (for video playback I mean)
[13:56:26] st1650: And doing the MythTV back-end; I already have a gentoo fileserver/http/samba,etc do I need to install mythtv back-end inside a vmware machine or I could co-exist my fileserver and mythtv on the same OS ?
[13:56:42] hadees: st1650, they could coexist easy
[13:56:51] Dibblah: XV is apparently working on that open source reverse engineered thing, for some cards...
[13:56:57] st1650: ok
[13:57:04] justinh: way easier than pissing about with vmware. sheesh
[13:57:20] st1650: vmware works great don't knock it down :)
[13:57:30] hadees: except for the security holes
[13:57:33] Dibblah: Don't use vmware / KVM / Xen / UML / ...
[13:57:35] hadees: but other then that peacy
[13:57:35] justinh: st1650: just so long as mysql & mythtv ports aren't wide open to the internet
[13:57:46] hadees: *peachy
[13:57:59] justinh: st1650: no point pissing about with vmware for a mythtv box is what I mean
[13:58:06] st1650: yup
[13:58:21] hadees: unless you are using vmserver and have a killer box for all your virtual servers to run on
[13:58:28] justinh: virtualisation – the new emperor's new cloths 9tm)
[13:58:34] Dibblah: Even so, it's pointless.
[13:58:34] hadees: in that case i might actually use vmware
[13:58:37] st1650: I'm stilling waiting for my htpc case to arrive, but I think I'll start configuring my Gentoo back-end right now to save time
[13:58:54] Dibblah: No good access to video output hardware, no good access to video capture hardware...
[13:59:26] Dibblah: Until everything comes with an IOMMU, of course.
[13:59:36] Dibblah: And no, a GART is not 'close enough'.
[14:00:17] hadees: is anything going on with MythTV and cable cards? i know there are restrictions but when everything switches over to them we are going to be sofl
[14:00:27] justinh: no
[14:00:36] justinh: cable cards are another white elephant
[14:00:58] justinh: and besides that, the likelihood of them ever being supported by an open source OS...
[14:00:59] hadees: i don't know, getting rid of cable boxes seems like the future to me
[14:01:38] st1650: Also what does everyone here thinks about KnoppMyth
[14:01:39] justinh: hadees: over the MPAA's dead body!
[14:01:40] hadees: justinh, well the could be supported with a closed source driver
[14:01:53] st1650: Usually linux guys aren't too enthousiam with do-it-all livecds
[14:01:55] justinh: hadees: yeah that'll be popular
[14:02:04] hadees: justinh, not popular but doable
[14:02:06] justinh: st1650: use whatever you want
[14:02:35] justinh: for mythtv, all in one distros provide the path of least effort & usually least resistnce
[14:02:41] hadees: st1650, i prefer gentoo, its what i know and i can customize it just the way i want but knoppmyth is supposed to be easier
[14:02:55] hadees: never really tried it since i don't really need it
[14:03:04] justinh: I prefer bathing in acid
[14:03:11] jduggan: lmfao
[14:03:19] hadees: thanks for sharing
[14:03:21] st1650: I love my gentoo server but it would pain me to have to compile X, QT, etc for mythtv
[14:03:34] directhex|work: compiling qt is pain
[14:03:35] hadees: emerge xorg-server, qt, mythtv
[14:03:37] hadees: done
[14:03:49] justinh: I used gentoo for 2 years, for a mythtv system
[14:04:06] directhex|work: justinh, you're so 1337
[14:04:23] justinh: if you don't keep it up to date enough & read every single emerge log, you're fuckedwhen you actually want to update it some day

[14:06:17] directhex|work: cd 1/7 burnt. bloody Enterprise
[14:06:18] justinh: it became a case of reinstall the lot, or just switch to a different distro
[14:06:37] st1650: I always saw pacman as a superior alternative to emerge
[14:06:39] justinh: I couldn't do without my pvr for 3 days so I went for the latter option
[14:06:53] st1650: apt-get still is the kign
[14:07:05] st1650: but I don't like the way ubuntu handles the rest
[14:07:15] justinh: as for mythtv itself – I don't use mythtv packages at all
[14:07:20] hashbang: st1650: apt is nothing specail. The package metadata in Debian (and by extension, Ubuntu) is what makes it work.
[14:07:47] DustyBin: debiab
[14:07:53] DustyBin: debian etch + backport kernel

[15:13:02] Justin__: just dont use the kernel on that page if you are running from a partition
[15:13:51] Justin__: when was native support added to xbmc? I had no idea.
[15:14:00] justinh: I only just read about it
[15:14:34] Justin__: i think im going to try out the latest t3ch build
[15:14:44] Yahooadam: J-e-f-f-A|work – last time i used myth on the Xbox the menu's were _really_ slow – is it like that for you?
[15:15:00] Justin__: wow there hasn't been a 'stable' release since 2006
[15:15:33] Justin__: the menus are fine for me
[15:15:41] J-e-f-f-A|work: Yahooadam: Yeah, that's because it only has 64MB ram and does alot of swapping to disk... But once the video starts, it's golden. Only drawback is that it isn't fast enough for HD...
[15:15:49] Justin__: the program guide can be a little slow
[15:15:50] justinh: heh XBMC have a SoC project too
[15:16:26] Yahooadam: J-e-f-f-A|work – hmm, i also found that playback is fine, but if you try and skip forwards it would lock up, die, or play back jerkily ...
[15:16:52] justinh: Yahooadam: depends what theme you use
[15:16:56] Justin__: i use automatic comm skipping and there are no problems
[15:17:09] justinh: Yahooadam: use any of my shitty themes & it's slow as hell :P
[15:17:10] Justin__: and manual when i need to

[15:21:37] justinh: I was looking at making glass-wide 0.21 friendly the other night but I can't stand to look at it anymore
[15:21:39] Yahooadam: aye, is good work :)
[15:22:20] Justin__: i was considering trying to do the same :)
[15:22:31] justinh: there'll be another theme at some point but a line has to be drawn. I'm not gonna continue putting stuff into the older ones forever
[15:22:37] Yahooadam: another justin – n000 :p
[15:23:06] Yahooadam: aslong as you supported project greyhem :p
[15:23:25] justinh: as far as 0.21 goes glass-wide should be fine apart from a niggle in video-ui.xml which prevents metadata & IMDB numbers being entered
[15:23:56] justinh: need to change a <textarea> to a <remoteedit> and add a <font>info</font> definition to the <remoteedit> container
[15:24:15] jduggan: i get a strange flicker in teh guide when livetv is in the top right – with the glass-wide theme
[15:24:25] jduggan: possibly its tearing issue – but i dont see it in any other theme
[15:24:38] justinh: you know what to do then – don't use it :)
[15:25:16] justinh: next one will prolly be more like mepo but obviously without the character & colour scheme

[15:26:07] jduggan: glass wide is a nice theme man
[15:26:34] Justin__: justinh, i don't know if its related to what you said, but my only trouble with glass-wide on 0.21 is the position of the date on the program guide. its moved down and overlapping one of the channel numbers
[15:27:54] justinh: I've not updated to 0.21 yet so I've not tested it properly
[15:28:33] justinh: jduggan: I no longer like the way the screen is divided up in the guide, watch recordings, program finder etc
[15:29:35] justinh: if it's to survive, the stupid rounded rectangles surrounding the list areas have got to go
[15:30:31] justinh: the new concept I'm playing with at home can be customised with different backgrounds in a similar way to glass-wide
[15:30:50] justinh: anyway.,. time to go get my new exhaust fitted

[16:19:40] iamlindoro__: assuming it's a digital tuner and you have it configured properly, yes.
[16:19:59] iamlindoro__: although you'd need to edit source code to tune more than 5 PIDs
[16:20:20] iamlindoro__: (per card)
[16:20:26] adac: PID's are channels?

[16:20:59] opentrinity_ is now known as opentrinity
[16:21:03] iamlindoro__: adac, sort of. Technically the entire multiplex is a channel, a PID is a program.
[16:21:50] adac: ok so I probaly used the wrong term with channel I meant a single program
[16:22:00] iamlindoro__: yeah, I understand
[16:22:03] adac: ;)
[16:22:05] mkrufky: 4 pids per mux is the maximum, iamlindoro_ ? if so, then why does mythtv-setup the option to change "max recordings" ?
[16:22:06] adac: good!!

[16:22:36] iamlindoro__: mkrufky, I think it's set to 5 max for "max recordings," but it's just a matter of changing that # in the source
[16:22:42] mkrufky: adac, it is a per-card setting
[16:22:52] adac: mkrufky: ok
[16:23:18] iamlindoro__: mkrufky, What I'm saying is that by default, you can't set "Max recordings" higher than 5
[16:23:38] mkrufky: then im silly for setting it to four.... i will change that when i get home later
[16:23:50] adac: how many programs normally can be on the same multiplex?
[16:24:05] mkrufky: i have 14 programs on one atsc mux
[16:24:07] iamlindoro__: mkrufky, I know Greyfoxx and a few others have made that minor change and recorded 8–9 at one in a single mux
[16:24:13] iamlindoro__: er at once
[16:24:21] mkrufky: i have 2 1080i programs on 1 qam mux
[16:24:28] mkrufky: and 4 720p programs on 1 qam mux
[16:24:39] mkrufky: (the 16 programs on the 1 atsc mux are all 480i)
[16:24:49] iamlindoro__: adac, I'm sure there *is* a maximum is the spec, but I don't know it. All my music channels are muxed into one channel, 36 of them
[16:25:02] iamlindoro__: er in the spec

[16:25:44] mkrufky: ie: attempt to record at minimum X programs per mux, when possible, before trying to use a separate adapter
[16:25:50] quicksilver: (although you could stream the multiplex without demuxing it and then demux later)

[16:25:56] iamlindoro__: ^^^ yup, that was my impression as well, some card have a limited # of PID filters
[16:26:05] mkrufky: quicksilver: only hardware that has HARDWARE pid filters
[16:26:10] quicksilver: yes
[16:26:13] quicksilver: is that not common?
[16:26:15] quicksilver: I have no clue :)
[16:26:15] mkrufky: but "budget" dvb card do not have such limitation
[16:26:21] adac: and there is no way to record 2 different mux with one single card?
[16:26:29] quicksilver: adac: tje card would need 2 tuners
[16:26:30] mkrufky: .....and the driver reports its pid filtering capabilities via DVB api
[16:26:41] iamlindoro__: adac, nope
[16:26:45] quicksilver: adac: such cards exist but they present themselves as 2 cards to the OS, AFAIK.
[16:26:46] adac: ok i see
[16:27:36] adac: quicksilver: so you mean cards with 2 tuners
[16:27:54] quicksilver: yes.
[16:28:08] quicksilver: but in the cases I've seen the OS will "think" that they are two cards.
[16:28:09] mkrufky: cards with 2 DIGITAL tuners.....

[16:28:55] mkrufky: dont say of course — many new "combo" cards have 1x digital and 1x analog tuners
[16:29:12] mkrufky: a new trend is "dual hybrid" cards
[16:29:30] mkrufky: and i dont know of any atsc/qam "dual digital" cards, unfortunately
[16:29:41] mkrufky: well, dvico has one, but i dont think it ever went to market
[16:29:47] adac: mkrufky: and on the analog tuner yu just can stream or record 1 single programm i guess?
[16:29:54] mkrufky: (it's supported in my tree, but i think it's a figment of the imagination)

[16:31:38] iamlindoro__: nope, not really
[16:31:53] adac: and lets say recording 10 programs?
[16:31:53] iamlindoro__: practically no CPU and minimal to moderate I/O
[16:31:55] adac: :)
[16:32:03] adac: ok I see
[16:32:17] Landon: I get "ln: creating symbolic link `/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt' to `/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt': File exists
[16:32:18] Landon: "
[16:32:27] Landon: when I try to start up the backend
[16:32:43] mkrufky: ....and THATS one of the reasons why its a good idea to start your commercial flagging jobs while the show is still recording
[16:32:44] iamlindoro__: Even if you're recording the whole mux, it'll never be more than a channel's worth of badnwidth, not very taxing I/Owise

[17:36:33] GreyFoxx: H00chster: No, doesnt look like the bios is there
[17:36:46] jams: The other one is still here, since it took me so long to find a box I figured waiting a few more days to make sure the first one arrived was no big deal.
[17:36:51] GreyFoxx: I'd have to go digging for it, but can[t at the moment
[17:36:58] GreyFoxx: (on a texdt console in the server room)

[18:37:35] NSVOE: ooh yeah did i mention it needs to be cheap
[18:37:49] justinh: NSVOE: totally depends what you're looking for. analogue? digital ? que? The best card for analogue is the hauppauge pvr150 – also available in low profile

[18:41:08] justinh: in the case of there being no low profile cards being suitable – put the lame box in the bin & get one which takes proper cards
[18:41:10] iamlindoro__: and for digital, you need to keep in mind the probably limitations (ie if you plug it in to your cable you are likely to only get network and local TV, and none of the other channels

[18:41:48] iamlindoro__: thanks
[18:41:48] justinh: NSVOE: thing is, with digital cable you're only likely to ever get what the company supply unencrypted (at best)
[18:42:29] iamlindoro__: which = Local and Network Tv, no comedy central, no HBO, no discovery HD, etc.
[18:42:42] NSVOE: i didn't think to careever or never???? ..... so myth tv prolly won't work the same with cox
[18:42:57] justinh: at least, without going through a set top box first – and in that case your best bet is to use firewire – but even then they don't let you use everything you pay for with firewire either
[18:43:35] NSVOE: like on demand
[18:43:42] justinh: it's not a limitation of linux or with mythtv. it's down to the abject greed of cable companies

[18:45:40] iamlindoro__: justinh, don't you agree we *seriously* need a !encryption command for a bot?
[18:45:54] iamlindoro__: so that we can stop doing this thrice-daily?
[18:46:09] justinh: wouldn't be a problem if anybody bothered to read the FAQ
[18:46:42] justinh: maybe FAQs should be called FUCs (frequently unread constants)
[18:47:09] NSVOE: so justinh is there a solution, i have a set top box from big cable. so cable does not let you use something else other than their box even at request??
[18:47:19] justinh: you got it
[18:47:31] daswork: Okay.
[18:47:34] daswork: MCE2 USB Remote
[18:47:44] daswork: Works under mythtv.
[18:47:49] daswork: Does not work under mythvideo.
[18:47:53] justinh: a minority of people get lucky with firewire outputs of set top boxes & get everything they pay for working over firewire
[18:48:02] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, There is no solution. With MythTV you will only be able to tune unencrypted channels digitally, meaning usually only network TV. You can tune everything w/ a set top box and analog, but that means standard def only.
[18:48:02] daswork: ~/.lircrc exists.
[18:48:23] justinh: daswork: does said .lircrc file have parts defined in it for mplayer?
[18:48:30] NSVOE: so what can you do?? i wouldn't mind useing the settop box plus the dvr and i know that there is a way cause philips sells a pvr
[18:48:30] justinh: and are all those parts _correct_ ?
[18:48:35] Tanubi: hi
[18:48:53] justinh: NSVOE: you can make do with what little you can get, or you get their pvr
[18:49:03] NSVOE: er settop box plus myth
[18:49:08] justinh: that's how they want it, and it's unlikely to ever change
[18:49:14] Tanubi: i'm having problems with mythtv after i have upgraded the kernel and could really need some hints on how to solve the problem
[18:49:26] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, as long as you want is standard def, STB + analog tuner in myth will work fine.
[18:49:36] daswork: justinh: http://rafb.net/p/I40vrm94.html
[18:49:39] iamlindoro__: er as all you want
[18:49:41] daswork: That looks correct, right?
[18:49:57] Tanubi: mythtv is not getting a lock when it tries to tune to a frequency
[18:50:09] daswork: I verified 'Foward' and 'Skip' with irw.
[18:50:14] NSVOE: well iamlindoro_things just got alot more complicated
[18:50:20] Tanubi: the thing is: szap gets a lock and i can even watch tv using VLC
[18:50:37] Tanubi: so i guess the problem is more related to mythtv itself
[18:50:38] justinh: daswork: verify all the buttons
[18:51:03] justinh: daswork: and I learned quickly to NEVER trust lircrc & lircd.conf files I found on the internet
[18:51:59] PatrickDK: I just always make my own lirc configs
[18:52:06] PatrickDK: it's not hard at all
[18:52:18] Tanubi: so does anybody know the differences of szap / VLC and mythtv when it comes to tuning to frequencies?
[18:52:32] iamlindoro__: Or for the lazy, there's the foolproof step of "apt-get install mythbuntu-lirc-generator"

[20:06:20] justinh: all I know about mythtv on FC is "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrelp! everyfink is brokey! I am inside dependensee hell!"
[20:06:45] justinh: I'm sure it's not always like that but I'm fearful of even trying it one day because of that
[20:06:48] mtnbkr: justinh: yeh... I know... But one box (slave) is a gentoo box that I (admittedly) foolishly allowed to perform an update  – Basically, I scanned through what was going to be done and missed the .20 to .21 update... Thought it was more "minor" than that.
[20:07:05] mtnbkr: iamlindoro__: what justinh just said.
[20:07:23] justinh: another reason I stopped using gentoo – or indeed allowing any automagical updates to happen
[20:07:33] mtnbkr: really. I looked at doing the update last night and decided that that machine needs to be updated to something more current and maintainable too

[20:25:15] NSVOE: OH ooh ok i thought you were asking me for some reason
[20:25:17] mtnbkr: iamlindoro__: can you eplain in a few sentences about what/how you get more HD channels via the STB with the firewire port? I am curious.
[20:26:35] mtnbkr: NSVOE: buy the PVR500 it is two 150's in one PCI card. I have two and you will immediately feel limited if/when you want to record two shows or watch tv and record something else etc. with just one tuner
[20:26:44] mtnbkr: that's just my opinion though. :)
[20:27:20] iamlindoro__: mtnbkr, STB policies are transmitted to the STB via a piece of equipment in the headend-- these include whether the firewire port is operational, and what can be dumped by way of it-- I know that here in the SF Bay Area, in Seattleish, and near Portland we have people whose headend policies allow for firewire and almost all of the channels working... a firewire connection to the STB essentially gets added in mythtv-setup as a tuner, and myth h
[20:27:20] iamlindoro__: andles a direct dump of the mpg-2 stream via the firewire port
[20:27:46] iamlindoro__: That's the short-short version of how it works
[20:27:59] mtnbkr: interesting.
[20:28:03] NSVOE: well...
[20:28:35] NSVOE: that's a point but i am really curious to know how cable companys do it with only one
[20:28:48] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, only one what?
[20:29:02] NSVOE: they only have one input
[20:29:09] iamlindoro__: They have a splitter inside the box
[20:29:13] iamlindoro__: it's still two tuners in there
[20:29:20] NSVOE: aaah
[20:29:22] NSVOE: ic
[20:29:28] iamlindoro__: the PVR-500 is the same way, it's one connection into the card, and split internally to two tuners
[20:30:00] NSVOE: i thought that but i wasn't sure if they found some way to emulate with hardware
[20:30:24] psymin: so speaking of grabbing two channels with one card .. could I grab channel 8.1 and 8.2 with one pchdtv card?
[20:30:24] NSVOE: or....something

[20:31:59] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, it's a digital tuner card-- like we told you before, most people are limited to local channels and network TV only because all the other channels are encrypted
[20:32:32] iamlindoro__: and before you ask, *no*, there is no way to decrypt with a set top box before sending it to a digital tuner
[20:32:42] NSVOE: well i fixed that with my cable company so now i need a diffrent card?
[20:32:54] NSVOE: and i DO have digital
[20:32:54] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, You did *not* fix anything with your cable co
[20:33:09] iamlindoro__: They cannot selectively send a channel unencypted to a single user
[20:33:54] iamlindoro__: There is *no way* to do so with cable-- if a channel is encrypted, it is encrypted to *all* people in the cable system
[20:34:32] NSVOE: that's not what they said
[20:34:42] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, "they" are wrong
[20:34:54] NSVOE: they said that they send the key
[20:35:10] NSVOE: once you pay the 11 dollars for the sercice
[20:35:16] NSVOE: servace
[20:35:17] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, which is received by a *set top box only*
[20:35:33] iamlindoro__: Anyone here want to help me break this down for him?
[20:35:33] NSVOE: no no set top box i made that clear to them
[20:35:55] NSVOE: how do you think panasonic can use their stuff
[20:36:00] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, Then they either lied or were uninformed-- they *cannot* selectively decrypt digital channels for a single user, it just doesn't work that way
[20:36:01] NSVOE: their independant
[20:36:05] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, It's an *analog tuner*
[20:36:23] NSVOE: i didn't say that
[20:36:32] NSVOE: i said that they send the key
[20:36:38] NSVOE: to decrypt it
[20:36:48] NSVOE: to whatever is hooked up
[20:36:58] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, I'm not going to argue with you about it, that's *not* how digital tuners work, they don't accept "keys" from the cable co
[20:37:37] NSVOE: i called it a key she called it somethign else i forgot

[20:38:50] mtnbkr: THANK YOU JEBUS (again) database schema downgraded mythtv working – off to boot a PXE minimtyth box to test it too. :)
[20:39:18] NSVOE: the receiveing en does the encryption
[20:39:23] NSVOE: end
[20:40:44] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, you are lost, seriously... you need to listen-- *no* American digital tuning card that works with MythTV will *ever* be able to tune an encrypted channel, and cable technology will *not* allow them to send unencrypted signals to a single user
[20:41:03] iamlindoro__: ffs, will *someone* step in and explain this to him?
[20:41:17] NSVOE: please
[20:41:29] NSVOE: and keep in mind that i am a technition
[20:42:01] GreyFoxx: What needs explanation, he is correct.

[20:49:08] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, we are all trying to save you some trouble here-- if you buy a digital tuner card, you will plug it in, scan, and in spite of anything you may have paid for or your cable company believes, you will find that you will *only* get locals and network TV

[20:56:44] iamlindoro__: It has both, in fact.

[20:58:50] clif4d: Hi, did mythvideo introduce some kind of background file scanning in 0.21? And if so, is there a way to disable it?
[20:58:54] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, what is it exactly you are trying to do, here? You're not telling me anything I didn't already know, but you need to get this point-- you *cannot* send unencrypted to a single user, and digital tuner cards *cannot* decrypt. Therefore, you *cannot* get all your channels via digital from your cable co without them giving them to many thousands of users at the same time
[20:59:21] iamlindoro__: clif4d, you may be talking about the uPnP file scan (which isn't really a mythvideo thing per se)
[20:59:34] iamlindoro__: clif4d, you can start the backend with --noupnp IIRC to turn it off

[21:00:22] NSVOE: iee institute for electrical electronics engenering

[21:00:27] GreyFoxx: clif4d: It updates the upnp list every 30 minutes,m and It's not affected by the commandline switch
[21:00:28] iamlindoro__: assuming you don't care about upnp functionality, that is
[21:00:35] GreyFoxx: the scan will still occur
[21:00:44] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, it's IEEE, and yes, we know. So?
[21:00:47] GreyFoxx: It just might not be advertised on the network
[21:01:01] GreyFoxx: clif4d: I
[21:01:17] clif4d: GreyFoxx: so now there is now way to keep a hardrive in standby when they are not in use anymore?
[21:01:22] GreyFoxx: 'm going to commit code to let you specify how often the update occurs, but that will be in trunk
[21:01:53] clif4d: GreyFoxx: okay, that sounds good, I'll check that out when it's ready
[21:01:54] NSVOE: so they say what's possable not
[21:02:32] iamlindoro__: NSVOE, what is it you think we are wrong about? I used to work in a cable headend, how much more expertise should I have to convince you?
[21:02:37] GreyFoxx: clif4d: When I wwrote it I didn't even consider putting a backend drives in standby as it's a practice I don't do

[21:25:09] Turn1: is anyone noticing their hard drive going crazy after upgrading to .21?
[21:25:48] Tanthrix: Turn1: The devs decided that mythboxes were getting too quiet and added that feature in.
[21:26:25] Turn1: are they any tools i don't know about to find out more what my drive is actually doing?
[21:26:36] iamlindoro__: Turn1, your backend logs will be the best source of info
[21:26:40] Turn1: if mythbackend is running, my hard drive is just seeking like crazy for hours and hours

[21:26:51] directhex: iamlindoro__, could we have someone who looks like a fearsome pirate, like kotaku?
[21:27:03] Tanthrix: It must be doing something nitcable if you're hearing that much noise.

[21:35:49] keith4_: holy crap
[21:36:00] GreyFoxx: keith4_: multirec goodness :)
[21:36:12] iamlindoro__: keith4_, now you can record multiple channels of nothing-worth-watching!  :)
[21:36:13] directhex: keith4_, it's a minor feature. according to engadget, the big mythtv 0.21 feature is QAM recording no hdhomerun!
[21:36:18] iamlindoro__: HA
[21:36:21] keith4_: can anyone save me time searching for this documentation?
[21:36:35] keith4_: iamlindoro__: yah, great. now I can fill up my LVM even faster
[21:36:35] GreyFoxx: sweet, switching the deinterlacer to linear blend is doing the job
[21:36:37] keith4_: at 5G/hr
[21:36:44] GreyFoxx: but I'm still close to the wire. Upgrade time!
[21:36:54] iamlindoro__: keith4_, tuner card setup in mythtv-setup, edit the card, press recording options, increase "Max recordings"
[21:36:57] justinh: keith4_: the best bit is you don't even need your LVM anymore!
[21:37:22] keith4_: justinh: yah, well.... it's already there
[21:37:30] keith4_: iamlindoro__: fantastic
[21:37:37] keith4_: any bottlenecks there?
[21:37:50] iamlindoro__: not unless you're running the backend on a hamster wheel
[21:37:56] psymin: he doesn't need LVM anymore? What magic do you speak of?
[21:38:06] iamlindoro__: psymin, storage groups!

[21:38:44] keith4_: justinh: now if I can just find a place to backup about 800G of crap, i can ditch the LVM
[21:38:46] psymin: XLV: its some item in the mythtv config
[21:39:07] iamlindoro__: XLV, more or less-- can set up a bunch of disks as eligible for recordings and myth will aggregate their available space and use them as appropriate for space, I/O, etc.
[21:39:23] XLV: iamlindoro__, nice
[21:39:39] iamlindoro__: and psymin is right, it's mythtv-setup, last menu option
[21:39:46] keith4_: yah. sexiest feature of .21, if you ask me
[21:40:08] iamlindoro__: multirec and storage groups are both muy caliente for sure
[21:40:37] iamlindoro__: but hey, as directhex says, gotta look at the *real* feature as per engadgetHD... HDHomeRun QAM tuning! *cricket*
[21:40:54] keith4_: wtf is HDHomeRun anyway?
[21:41:02] GreyFoxx: a network based tuner
[21:41:11] GreyFoxx: so the data is fed to myth via ethernet
[21:41:23] FinnTux: multirec > storage groups
[21:41:31] psymin: that sounds useful, since pci slots are getting fewer and fewer ..
[21:41:38] iamlindoro__: FinnTux, for those tuning digitally, anyway
[21:41:44] Thomas-: raid and lvm > storage groups
[21:41:48] FinnTux: like me :)
[21:42:17] FinnTux: but yes, I get your point iamlindoro
[21:42:30] iamlindoro__: It's *awful* easy to get used to-- tough to go back to *shudder* analog after you've had digital for a while
[21:42:38] psymin: speaking of raid and lvm .. does anyone know if its possible to use dm-crypt on a raid5 array and lvm .. and add additional disks (ie space) to the setup? :)
[21:43:06] keith4_: yikes
[21:43:28] keith4_: psymin: you can definitely grow a software raid5 to more disks, and you can easily expand an LVM
[21:43:31] keith4_: not sure about dm-crypt
[21:43:42] psymin: yeah, dm-crypt is the part of the puzzle that I'm not sure on
[21:43:45] Thomas-: psymin: sure can
[21:43:52] psymin: without a reformat?
[21:43:55] justinh: anyway, I won't put this one up on any blimmin website when it's done
[21:44:07] Thomas-: I've done it, went from a broken raid5 setup (only 2 disks) to 5 disks in the final setup
[21:44:26] psymin: Thomas-: and added space to the filesystem while using dm-crypt?
[21:44:30] Thomas-: yes
[21:44:32] psymin: wooo!
[21:44:49] Thomas-: i'm using luks, but it should be the same
[21:44:57] psymin: yeah, I'd be on luks too
[21:45:21] Thomas-: md->lvm->crypt->fs on archive and md->lvm->fs for mythtv
[21:45:50] Thomas-: didn't see any need to crypt the mythtv recordings :)
[21:45:55] psymin: I'm sure this is offtopic .. but why not lvm->md?
[21:46:55] psymin: Thomas-: you crypt the recordings so the signal to noise ratio is worse when someone is trying to break it :)
[21:47:12] psymin: same reason I shred all my junk mail
[21:47:46] Thomas-: :)
[21:48:19] xand: why does the "pre-scaling theme images" scrollbar... scroll twice? >.<
[21:48:21] keith4_: lvm->md? what? that doesn't even make sense
[21:48:26] Thomas-: md because I know it and I don't think that LVM gives you exactly the same features as a raid5 setup with lvm
[21:48:28] keith4_: xand: extra scaling
[21:48:43] xand: it's obviously lying!
[21:48:44] Thomas-: lvm->md doesn't make sense
[21:48:58] ** psymin lets his brain run for a few more cycles. **
[21:48:58] Thomas-: but lvm only (or plus crypt) does
[21:49:55] keith4_: iamlindoro__: GreyFoxx: in case you want to remember today forever... I saved it (bored at work) http://www.lehigh.edu/~kbe2/temp/mythtv-users.txt
[21:50:10] justinh: keith4_: blah blah this channel is logged
[21:50:19] keith4_: sure
[21:50:31] iamlindoro__: keith4_, hehe, wow, you went alllll the way back
[21:50:46] keith4_: oh, i forgot the part where "bored at work" means "I stripped out all of the irrelevent bits"
[21:51:01] FinnTux: md for redundancy and then lvm on top of that for expandability
[21:51:02] keith4_: and i even corrected a few peoples' lines, using their corrections
[21:51:24] keith4_: FinnTux: yes. if i'm (we're?) not mistaken, he suggested doing it the other way around
[21:51:38] FinnTux: yes, and like some said, it doesn't make sense
[21:51:48] keith4_: eh
[21:51:51] keith4_: sorry, i'm tired
[21:51:55] justinh: aha! gone will be the chromey curved selection bars. banished!

[21:58:50] FinnTux: btw, any special plans for 0.22?
[21:58:56] justinh: these concept sketches might be at a point where they can be turned into something by then
[21:59:24] justinh: FinnTux: yeah. framegrabber support is going to be dropped. the code will autodetect ATI cards & refuse to run
[21:59:28] PatrickDK: just as long as you don't turn out like these concept cars I keep seeing

[22:11:59] hti_pro: are there any modules or something I need to make sure is loaded

[22:22:34] XLV: killaz, what about downloaded content.. just to test it
[22:22:35] hti_pro: I assume the could not connect to socket is related to the qt painter message because there is not even a time stamp on it

[22:29:37] XLV: killaz, no i mean getting some h264 content into backend's hdd and play it through the ps3
[22:30:11] XLV: so all backend does it feed the file through network
[22:30:15] killaz: XLV: oh of course...
[22:30:34] killaz: yup no need to be watching the content on the PC
[22:31:10] killaz: XLV: but it seems like.... I have to be transcoding the TV content if I would like it to be "HD"
[22:31:43] hti_pro: does anyone know if there is a way to set a more verbose logging
[22:31:51] killaz: becuase since the max resolution of the GPU is 1360 the Live TV content is also 1360x768 max
[22:32:42] killaz: XLV: but the MythBox will be a Torrent server also downloading HD movies...
[22:33:31] killaz: now I only have to automate the downloading of contents trough RSS and I'm happy
[22:35:07] XLV: killaz, eg http://www.digital-digest.com/movies/pirates_ . . . trailer.html

[22:49:33] minthome: directhex, yeah, that's awesome. Looks like, from the last 5 minutes of reading, that netflix is going to try and go with silverlight
[22:49:45] psymin: BAH!
