[00:00:18] Dagmar: J-e-f-f-a: You may be SoL.
[00:00:24] Dagmar: I've never even heard of one.
[00:00:48] SlicerDicer: J-e-f-f-A you dont have pci slots?
[00:00:55] J-e-f-f-A: Dagmar: Looks like Aopen has an ATSC one...
[00:01:25] Dagmar: good luck finding drivers for it
[00:01:34] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: Not on this microscopic Asus Pundit system I bought for a frontend... I was thinking of 'upgrading' it to a combined fe/be for my wife...
[00:02:05] Dagmar: Meh. You'd probably be better served by sticking a 802.11g card in it
[00:02:09] J-e-f-f-A: Dagmar: Well, it's PCI, but in a so-dimm type format, so I might get lucky...
[00:02:25] Dagmar: I'm quite familiar with mini-PCI actually.
[00:02:43] J-e-f-f-A: Dagmar: Sorry, didn't mean to imply you weren't... ;-)
[00:02:46] SlicerDicer: why would you want such a small system for fe/be?
[00:02:51] mkrufky: aopen's one is not supported
[00:02:55] Dagmar: They're pretty common in laptops now, and I'm still trying to find a decent board with mini-PCI so I can cannibalize the card from my Linksys WRT54g
[00:03:02] J-e-f-f-A: mkrufky: ... Thanks. ;-)
[00:03:08] mkrufky: but i dont understand why

[00:05:31] SlicerDicer: ahh ok
[00:05:57] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: I've got a main backend, but my wife doesn't want to use it for some reason... It's an

[00:08:53] SlicerDicer: well time to go tear my living room apart while I put my fixed backend in place haha
[00:09:23] SlicerDicer: J-e-f-f-A been without myth for almost 6 months :/
[00:10:00] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: I must have done an 'rm -R ' in the wrong directory a week ago though, all but 4 of my 'videos' on my video disk got deleted... Oh well... there was like 120 of them, but all were recorded off the sat, so it's not the end of the world...
[00:10:18] SlicerDicer: ouch
[00:10:23] SlicerDicer: thats cruel to the old db
[00:10:30] neztiti: mkrufky: where to do the command???
[00:10:42] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: Well, it was ok, it was only the videos, not the "recordings'...
[00:10:47] SlicerDicer: ahh
[00:11:12] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: It was movies I moved off of 'recordings' to 'videos', which is on a different disk.

[00:13:19] SlicerDicer: well anyway time to tear the room apart haha
[00:13:34] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: Yeah, I've got raid 5 for my Myth Recordings (960GB Raid5), but my Videos are on a seperate usb disk... 320GB, music on a 200GB USB disk, another 760GB LVM (4x200) from my old system (not really used atm...) and a 500GB sitting idle... ;-)
[00:13:41] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: Have fun! ;-)
[00:15:10] ** J-e-f-f-A saw a nice Hardware RAID5 device at micro center tonight-- takes up 2 5.25" bays, with 3 HDD slots, and a hardware raid chip – one sata connection.  – only about $170 too... almost bought one... **
[00:17:05] nevyn: nice.
[00:17:25] nevyn: but beware poor support for sata multiplexors in linux
[00:17:44] clever: i find lvm is nice and flexible
[00:17:59] clever: able to easily play musical chairs with my hdd's when i need to add/remove them
[00:18:15] nevyn: for almost everything in myth you want to increase default allocation sizes.
[00:18:16] clever: ive even put 5 ide drives into an lvm array once
[00:18:19] clever: thru nbd
[00:18:20] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: Says it's "All-inone Serial ATA hardware RAID5 or 0 drive enclosure"... says it has a hardware chip onboard, single sata connection...
[00:18:34] nevyn: J-e-f-f-A: it does have a hardware chip inside.
[00:18:39] clever: ide->usb->ethernet->nbd->lvm
[00:19:18] nevyn: but the chip doesn't do the raid5 bit it just let's you connect 3 disks to it and have one cable to a host.
[00:19:18] nevyn: it's like a sata hub
[00:19:36] nevyn: and there have been issues with sata multiplexors

[00:22:18] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: Yeah, but it claims to be true hardware raid5... looking it up on their site now... it's a SIIG "SATA RAID 5/0 Bay Enclosure" "All-in-one Serial ATA Hardware RAID 5 or 0 drive enclosure – no extra controller needed!" ...
[00:22:55] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: ... and the text on teh back said it had a hardware raid5 controlle onboard... So I don't think it's just a multiplier...
[00:23:52] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: Found the site: http://www.siig.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pn=SC-000081-S1
[00:24:48] ** J-e-f-f-A "Hardware RAID 5 (striped with parity) & RAID 0 (striping) – Uses proprietary ASIC for on-line processing, data striping and parity calculation, delivering excellent IO performance & efficient operations, such as fast disk rebuilding and on-line data recovery for bad sectors." **

[00:32:19] elg: it's something like xv
[00:32:24] elg: what my video card works best with

[00:32:40] GreyFoxx: elg: myth doesn't support it

[00:34:04] nevyn: J-e-f-f-A: here's the thing.. do you trust your data to some crack electronics engineer ASIC raid5 algorithms
[00:35:16] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: yeah, I suppose... I should just stick with the software raid5, eh? I've got enough horsepower to spare... (A64 x2 4600+)
[00:35:44] nevyn: J-e-f-f-A: and what about reporting/monitoring
[00:35:51] nevyn: if it's all on the end of a sata cable.
[00:36:49] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: It's got a serial port interface... but only winblows software I'm sure... And led's and audible buzzer for issues...
[00:37:22] J-e-f-f-A: nevyn: humm... it's only sata150 though... maybe that's part of the 'slow' comments...

[01:06:54] TelnetManta: all of a sudden my frontend looses connection with the backend but the backend is running as I see the EIT processes working. If I try to watch a recording or tv is freezes. I cant access via mythweb either.

[01:15:00] SlicerDicer: well...

[01:15:36] SlicerDicer: those two should be raid0
[01:15:45] SlicerDicer: drives are not exactly same size
[01:15:50] SlicerDicer: but I never had problems with it before
[01:15:55] SlicerDicer: when I try to do mdadm --assemble
[01:16:25] SlicerDicer: mdadm: no recogniseable superblock on /dev/hda1
[01:16:25] SlicerDicer: mdadm: /dev/hda1 has no superblock – assembly aborted
[01:16:27] SlicerDicer: fine no big deal
[01:16:32] SlicerDicer: I will just recreate the array
[01:16:42] SlicerDicer: its just parity for my raid5
[01:17:01] SlicerDicer: mdadm: /dev/hda1 is too small: 0K
[01:17:01] SlicerDicer: mdadm: create aborted
[01:17:06] SlicerDicer: ARGH!!!
[01:17:08] SlicerDicer: this is my problem haha

[01:17:27] SlicerDicer: thats my command to create
[01:17:27] Aval0n: so like if I specify a higher res in xorg.conf will mythtv work harder?
[01:17:50] SlicerDicer: and also...
[01:17:59] SlicerDicer: I dont understand why they are not all listed as linux raid autodetect
[01:18:05] J-e-f-f-A: Aval0n: Sure, unless you're using XVMC... And even then it would go up a little I think...
[01:18:13] Aval0n: ahh
[01:18:20] Aval0n: cause I am noticing skipping in my HD
[01:18:21] SlicerDicer: so there ya go J-e-f-f-A and xris :) my retarted raidsetup :/
[01:18:25] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: What's the mdadm command to show the raid?
[01:18:25] Aval0n: I was at 1280x720
[01:18:31] Aval0n: now I'm 1360x768
[01:18:33] SlicerDicer: what you mean?
[01:18:36] Aval0n: so that's probably the reason
[01:18:37] Aval0n: ?
[01:18:59] J-e-f-f-A: That you did to get the list of drives — I'll look at my software raid5 and see how it looks...
[01:19:03] SlicerDicer: xris: I really need kormoc haha :) he knows what crazy shit I did...
[01:19:13] SlicerDicer: ohh J-e-f-f-A thats the cat /proc/mdstat
[01:19:17] SlicerDicer: however I am not able to do a assemble
[01:19:21] SlicerDicer: so I cant see the drives in the array
[01:19:35] SlicerDicer: I cant get the array to assemble so I am trying to recreate it and its not working
[01:19:46] SlicerDicer: my raid5 can assemble without the parity drive I believe
[01:19:58] SlicerDicer: havent tried but I assume it will
[01:20:02] SlicerDicer: I had no problem doing my raid1
[01:20:18] SlicerDicer: J-e-f-f-A my raid is a disaster bigtime haha
[01:20:31] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: — oo $hit... that shows I've got a failed drive... only shows sdb1 and sdc1... eek! Where's sda1????? uh-oh...

[01:24:47] SlicerDicer: why would it not?
[01:24:51] SlicerDicer: its raid5 with failed parity

[01:30:30] jamesd__: SlicerDicer, there are only 2 types of disk drives, those that have died, and those that will die before you expect them too.
[01:30:32] ShiftyPowers: any ideas?
[01:30:41] SlicerDicer: jamesd__: I know they are not dead...
[01:31:01] PatrickDK: he didn't say they are dead
[01:31:08] PatrickDK: he said they will be by tomorrow :)
[01:31:13] SlicerDicer: lol
[01:31:26] PatrickDK: think of it this way
[01:31:33] PatrickDK: one drive died, the others are going fail about the same time
[01:31:36] PatrickDK: cause they where made the same
[01:31:40] PatrickDK: and now one is dead
[01:31:45] PatrickDK: that is even more stress on the good ones
[01:31:54] PatrickDK: making them speed up their death time
[01:32:08] SlicerDicer: lol
[01:32:27] SlicerDicer: I am serious though my system has gone mental

[01:32:41] SlicerDicer: its all stupid
[01:33:06] SlicerDicer: PatrickDK: this system has been dead for quite some time due to mobo issues with bad capaciter stopping it from posting
[01:33:16] SlicerDicer: fixed the problem by putting on new cap and all is good other than this
[01:34:18] xris: ShiftyPowers: try a clean install
[01:34:47] ShiftyPowers: nevermind, found the solution
[01:34:51] ShiftyPowers: xris, thanks
[01:35:02] ShiftyPowers: is there anyway in nano to tell what line # your are on?
[01:35:17] xris: you're not the first to get the error... but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with mythweb in general
[01:35:23] xris: ShiftyPowers: control-c, I think
[01:35:28] xris: dunno, mine always shows the line number
[01:35:29] J-e-f-f-A: ShiftyPowers: I just had to do an "/sbin/mdadm -a /dev/md0 /dev/sda1" to get my drive to re-build... I am going to have to replace the drive I think...
[01:35:55] xris: control-_ (that's control shift dash) will move you to a specific line number, too
[01:36:03] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: I'd go through and replace ALL of the caps...

[01:38:47] xris: hmm, looks like janne touched something
[01:38:55] J-e-f-f-A: ShiftyPowers: I use 'nedit', and there's a 'show line numbers' option in it...
[01:40:44] xris: nope. janne's change shouldn't have done that
[01:41:16] janneg: xris: I've added only a SET NAMES UTF8
[01:41:45] xris: janneg: yeah, I see it. I'll probably move it out of the db class, though.. that's not "mythtv" code so it'd get overwritten after a sync.
[01:45:02] xris: but shouldn't cause that other error.
[01:45:06] xris: ShiftyPowers: what distro are you using?
[01:45:53] TXusg990a: which is the better option for hd content using an Intel GMA950: xv or opengl?
[01:46:30] ShiftyPowers: xris, ubuntu
[01:47:30] janneg: xris: it was the obvious place for a temporary fix after the utf8 conversion. I intended to ask if there is a better/different place but forgot it
[01:48:08] xris: janneg: yeah, no biggie.. I've been slacking on watching commits, too.

[02:36:35] rushfan: fryfrog: No I do not know why I am having these issues. I don't think it is CPU usage, and I'm not trying to play .mkv files.
[02:36:47] rushfan: fryfrog: The issue is that the deinterlacer is leaving "lines" in the middle of my TV.
[02:37:24] rushfan: For example, overall it will de-interlace it well but in the middle there will be a line where the top and bottom halfs (imagine the line divides the image up) arent properly aligned with each other
[02:38:22] elg: mplayer takes 20% cpu to play the raw feed from hdhomerun. myth stutters, and it's taking 35% (and yes there's more CPU available)

[02:38:45] rushfan: fryfrog: weird in response to my issue? I'
[02:38:51] fryfrog: yeah
[02:38:59] rushfan: I'll just try .21. It might have some better deinterlacers for High-Def content.
[02:39:02] fryfrog: that said, i've never tried to *output* interlaced
[02:39:10] fryfrog: or is it going to a progressive display device?
[02:39:11] rushfan: I was using it before until my file system corrupted

[02:39:27] fryfrog: oh, gotcha
[02:39:40] rushfan: My 22" Widescreen LCD. So I kind of want it deinterlaced properly
[02:39:50] elg: i have an analog tv, should I turn off deinterlacing?

[03:24:17] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A, echo "check" > /sys/block/md#/md/sync_action
[03:24:23] SlicerDicer: hardware fails you be screwed hti_pro
[03:24:33] SlicerDicer: software raid hardware fails it can be rebuilt
[03:25:03] hti_pro: SlicerDicer, takes a hell of a load off of resources...
[03:25:13] SlicerDicer: hti_pro: what resources?
[03:25:15] J-e-f-f-A: kormoc: Ok, just gave me back a prompt – how do I status it's progress?
[03:25:18] kormoc: hti_pro, it's really not that bad
[03:25:18] SlicerDicer: I hardly ever see my cpu used
[03:25:19] hti_pro: Only if controller fails... AI think it is still recoverable though
[03:25:30] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A, watch cat /proc/mdstat
[03:25:50] kormoc: hti_pro, typically only with the same controller and at times, the exact same firmware
[03:26:07] hti_pro: not a problem, I have backups
[03:26:15] SlicerDicer: kormoc: you convinced me never to go hardware raid haha
[03:26:18] ** J-e-f-f-A has a feeling this isn't good: md0 : active raid5 sda1[3](S) sdb1[4](F) sdc1[2] **
[03:26:23] SlicerDicer: besides my system would never work with hardware raid
[03:26:35] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A, not really
[03:26:45] hti_pro: bought two backup controllers lfor $15 bucks a pop
[03:26:57] hti_pro: maybe old, but very reliable
[03:27:27] hti_pro: SlicerDicer: why wouldn't it work with hardware raid
[03:27:50] SlicerDicer: cause I am insane
[03:27:53] elg: i can't find the deinterlace toggle in 0.21
[03:27:59] SlicerDicer: I am running raid across sata and pata
[03:28:04] SlicerDicer: drive sizes are all wonky
[03:28:18] SlicerDicer: I am running 320 320 200 160 120gb drives
[03:28:28] SlicerDicer: I have a raid5 of 320gb disks and raid1 of 20gb disks
[03:28:30] kormoc: hti_pro, yay, scsi. Do you verify the BBU monthly? older cards like that one tends to have bad BBU's and that's a very bad thing for you
[03:28:45] hti_pro: resource usage is not too bad with software raid, i admit, but instead of access 3–5 disks it thinks it is only accessing one
[03:28:56] kormoc: elg, edit your playback profiles
[03:29:01] hti_pro: thats an 80% reduction in resource usage
[03:29:09] kormoc: hti_pro, no it's not
[03:29:10] SlicerDicer: afaik you cant run pata and sata in raid with HW
[03:29:20] kormoc: the math doesn't work that simply :)
[03:29:45] hti_pro: please explain
[03:29:50] SlicerDicer: 11.9% cpu usage building my raid5 parity
[03:29:51] kormoc: hti_pro, you have issues with the lack of NCQ support on your cards, nor the enhanced io scheduling
[03:29:56] J-e-f-f-A: kormoc: Oh crap – look at http://www.pastebin.ca/980594 <-- My 3 disks are sda1, sdb1 and sdc1... uh-oh...
[03:30:28] kormoc: hti_pro, accessing more drives at once doesn't actually really mean more resource usage, just as addressing more ip addresses doesn't mean more network usage
[03:30:47] elg: kormoc: playback groups?
[03:31:05] kormoc: elg, no, the profiles, under tv playback settings
[03:31:21] SlicerDicer: kormoc: I fear my drives do not have NCQ support ;-)
[03:31:25] SlicerDicer: one is very old haha
[03:31:32] SlicerDicer: I think I got it in 2002?
[03:31:33] hti_pro: I can understand that but if the replication is being handled by software, and therefore the cpu, that is unneccessary resource usage
[03:31:49] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: I think I'm in trouble... see the pastebin above ^^^

[03:32:04] kormoc: hti_pro, hashes are ultra fast, hence my statement that it's not just x-1 less resource usage
[03:32:29] Asacarn1: suppose i build a computer lacking s-video out ports... can i use a separate card to do s-video out easily?
[03:32:30] hti_pro: cpu usage while rebuilding array .... 0%
[03:32:35] hti_pro: on hardware array
[03:32:52] kormoc: hti_pro, not always, depends on the card actually, a lot of cards still use the cpu for the rebuilding
[03:32:57] SlicerDicer: hti_pro: ohh noes I use 11% cpu usage for 1.5 hours
[03:33:01] SlicerDicer: :)
[03:33:05] kormoc: hti_pro, not all cards have a onboard xor chip
[03:33:06] hti_pro: mine doesnt
[03:33:11] SlicerDicer: its not that critical.. why have a cpu then?
[03:33:22] kormoc: hti_pro, but a blanket statment that hardware is always 0% cpu isn't true
[03:33:33] hti_pro: i can agree to that
[03:33:39] SlicerDicer: kormoc: he can saturate busses too :)
[03:33:46] SlicerDicer: kormoc: if its pci anyway
[03:33:52] hti_pro: mine takes about 10–15 minutes for rebuild and doesnt use any cpu

[03:34:18] kormoc: hti_pro, that's another good point, I can split up my drives on a pile of different busses and thus maximize them, chaining together hardware cards isn't very well handled yet

[03:35:59] hti_pro: agreed, there are good points and bad for each.... I have a very limited budget and therefore try to conserve every last bit of resources, so my setup works great for me... for those who have a little money for better cpu, ram, etc... not that big of deal
[03:36:01] elg: mplayer plays the same stream fine

[03:36:09] elg: but myth stutters
[03:36:14] kormoc: hti_pro, for example, I have 8 drives in my box currently, a 8 way raid controller is more costly then a cpu upgrade that will handle all of that and still have the same amount free. I can put in another 4 drives on another controller, and then I can grow my raid-5 onto those drives without any downtime
[03:36:28] kormoc: hti_pro, sure, but you started with a blanket statement that hardware was better ;)
[03:36:41] kormoc: elg, pause for a few seconds?
[03:37:04] elg: doesn't help
[03:37:19] hti_pro: i retract my previous statement, and ammend it, I have better experience with hardware raid
[03:37:52] hti_pro: also I have had to do several rebuilds and I have never lost data
[03:38:06] hti_pro: ...with hardware
[03:38:08] kormoc: I just keep growing my array :)
[03:38:17] hti_pro: i have lost data everytime rebuilding software raid
[03:38:24] kormoc: migrating to new drives without downtime is awesomesauce
[03:38:34] Asacarn1: so are ATI cards just a no go for mythtv?
[03:38:36] ** J-e-f-f-A|wintel *crap*... "An error occurred during the file system check.".... I Knew this was going to happen... AARRRGGGHHH!!!!! **
[03:38:48] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, can't put the old drives back in?
[03:39:06] elg: ah, here's something interesting. if I hit guide, the guide tries to come up but disappears/reappears coinciding with the stutter
[03:39:43] hti_pro: anyone know how to set a password for the mysql mythtv user
[03:40:03] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: The same drives are in... boot just stopped for "Repair Filesystem" mode because the raid is down... Uggghhh.....
[03:40:38] hti_pro: ... by the way, I can hotswap and rebuild my array without ever shutting down the system
[03:40:47] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, single user mode is likely the way to go, force the rebuild on the valid drives
[03:40:54] kormoc: hti_pro, but to larger drives? :)
[03:40:54] hti_pro: capturing video all the while
[03:41:11] kormoc: hti_pro, I honestly don't know of a single hardware card that can resize the array live
[03:41:18] SlicerDicer: kormoc: cant you hotswap normal sata if you have those drive thingys
[03:41:26] kormoc: SlicerDicer, aye
[03:41:33] elg: is it true that over-the-air digital in the USA is always MPEG-2?
[03:41:34] hti_pro: resizing, i don't know, havent tried
[03:41:48] SlicerDicer: so what stops hotswap rebuild blah blah sauce with software raid?
[03:41:59] kormoc: SlicerDicer, nothing
[03:42:00] GreyFoxx: elg: Yes
[03:42:10] hti_pro: I take that back, I can add drives to my array while running, and therfore increasing the size of my array'
[03:42:16] GreyFoxx: elg: It doesn't have to be, it can be h264, but so far it's all mpeg2
[03:42:33] SlicerDicer: thats what I thought... so what is hti_pro talking with he can hotswap and rebuild without shutting down?
[03:42:34] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: Trouble is I forget the commands, and have to google... ugh...
[03:42:44] SlicerDicer: if you can do it with software too
[03:42:55] elg: wikipedia is telling me "In the United States, ATSC permits only MPEG-2 as the codec."
[03:43:01] hti_pro: SlierDicer: as long as you have sata, what if you use pata
[03:43:03] SlicerDicer: is it not the same difference to have capability on both?
[03:43:12] kormoc: hti_pro, mdadmin has an option that you say have 320's in your raid, swap one with a 500, rebuild, swap another one to 500, rebuild, swap the thrid one, rebuild, have 1tb available now, rather then 640
[03:43:22] SlicerDicer: hti_pro: I was speaking of sata and who would use hardware raid pata anyway?
[03:43:47] kormoc: SlicerDicer, I did! 3ware 7006!
[03:43:47] SlicerDicer: pata is so depreciated its nuts.. only reason I use it makes life cheaper :)
[03:43:53] purserj: okay ouch, mythflix dies in a horrible way on building latest trunk
[03:44:05] SlicerDicer: hell kormoc mobos are omitting the pata
[03:44:06] hti_pro: I dont know i use scsi
[03:44:13] SlicerDicer: but fucking floppy exists....
[03:44:14] SlicerDicer: LOL
[03:44:19] SlicerDicer: I am perplexed by that one

[03:45:36] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, the spare has no data on it
[03:45:59] hti_pro: I use to use hardware pata raid
[03:46:05] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc... that's not good... I have 3 drives, none of them should be a spare... /dev/sda1 , sdb1, sdc1 ...
[03:46:11] hti_pro: worked alright for the price of the card....$10
[03:46:28] SlicerDicer: use to use... is that not the keyword? ;-)
[03:46:28] hti_pro: better results than software raid, but nothing like my scsi raid
[03:46:34] SlicerDicer: SATA is future future is NIGH!!!
[03:46:57] kormoc: my pata raid controller cost me ~$300 at the time, for a 2 drive raid controller :)
[03:47:00] kormoc: it rocked at the time
[03:47:05] SlicerDicer: pata and pci are being butchered 6 ways from sunday right now on mobos
[03:47:15] kormoc: sas > sata
[03:47:16] SlicerDicer: soon they will be nothing more than OMG you suck you retard you use old shit
[03:47:25] SlicerDicer: ;-)
[03:47:31] kormoc: sas > stat > scsi > pata
[03:47:46] SlicerDicer: kormoc: sas is nuts
[03:48:03] hti_pro: I payed $10 bucks for a 4 drive raid controller that would work with dma in collaboration with another card of the same model in order to mirror 2 raid 5 arrays
[03:49:06] hti_pro: dma allows it to bypass the cpu and therefore use extremely small amounts of resources
[03:49:07] SlicerDicer: kormoc: for the record I am mostly talking out my paper asshole as I have no real idea what I am talking about here just what I have read ;-)
[03:49:41] kormoc: hti_pro, dma doesn't bypass the cpu, it still processes it, just doesn't have to use a bounce buffer to send the data
[03:50:32] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: "mdadm --examine /dev/sda1" gives bogus info, but /sdb1 looks right... Any ideas? Remove /dev/sda1 and bring it up?
[03:50:37] hti_pro: yes but uses an much less resources, I said bypass due to lack of better word/phrase... dma uses very little dma
[03:50:44] hti_pro: er.... cpu resources
[03:50:45] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, what bout sdc1?
[03:50:57] hti_pro: god I can't think straight right now
[03:51:43] kormoc: hti_pro, all controllers these days are dma and bus mastered, even onboard ones
[03:51:47] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: Both sda1 and sdc1 say "0 removed" "1 faulty removed" "3 active synce /dev/sdc1" "4 spare /dev/sda1"...
[03:52:05] hti_pro: anyway, no intention on a battle of software vs. hardware raid here... just voicing an opinion
[03:52:17] hti_pro: Both have upsides, and downsides
[03:52:27] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, hrm... that's a problem. what prompted the removal of the drives?
[03:52:34] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: /dev/sdb1 says "0 removed" "1 active sync /dev/sdb1" "2 active sync /dev/sdc1" "3 spare /dev/sda1" <- although 3 looks fishy to me...
[03:53:10] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: hell if I know... I didn't think to look at the logs before I shutdown & re-booted...

[03:54:21] kormoc: Aye
[03:54:42] kormoc: it might just be --assemble actually

[03:55:25] hti_pro: so... I ran apt-get install mythtv-database, so how do I get the username and password in order to setup the backend
[03:55:56] elg: how can I tell if a card (in my machine) has mpeg-2 decoder acceleration?
[03:56:01] kormoc: hti_pro, ubuntu is special, they do things weirdly and they have their own mythtv channel on here
[03:56:03] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: Do I have to tell it to remove /dev/sda1?
[03:56:04] kormoc: elg, what's the card?
[03:56:13] elg: nvidia quadro nvs 280 sd
[03:56:28] hti_pro: kormoc: what would be that channel name
[03:56:29] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, nah, you can try --force to force the assemble, but it seems like something is foobarred majorly...
[03:56:36] kormoc: hti_pro, donno offhand
[03:56:57] kormoc: elg, google to see if it supports xvmc, or check the driver docs
[03:57:12] hti_pro: kormoc: alright thanks alot :)
[03:57:13] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: Well, that looks more promising... it says "has been started with 2 drives (out of 3)."... let's see if I have data, or trash...
[04:00:23] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: kormoc: Well, that seems to have worked... now I've re-added /dev/sda1 — it's recovering, we'll see if I have data in 2 hours... (well, the morning, I'm going to bed...)
[04:00:39] kormoc: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, g'luck

[04:13:13] hti_pro: ...download..compile
[04:13:24] hti_pro: I have old computers.
[04:13:25] kormoc: hti_pro, but... raid...
[04:13:25] SlicerDicer: whats wrong with the compiling?
[04:13:27] SlicerDicer: run it at night?
[04:13:34] fryfrog: ubuntu, i just throw it on and sudo aptitude full-upgrade every few days
[04:13:36] SlicerDicer: hti_pro: build packages?
[04:13:42] SlicerDicer: I mean there is tons of stuff you can do
[04:13:58] fryfrog: nothings wrong with compiling, but getting a gentoo system up takes a few hours to overnight, depending
[04:14:04] kormoc: I'm running the same gentoo install that started on a p4 1.9 ghz, moved to a p4 2.4 ghz, then to a pentium-d 820 and then to a core 2 duo
[04:14:05] hti_pro: i honestly didn't have a lot of time to spend at the time, I needed something quick.
[04:14:12] fryfrog: getting ubuntu (or what ever) going on anything is 20~ min
[04:14:34] fryfrog: i still <3 gentoo though
[04:14:51] fryfrog: i think i started when it was still called like "1.2" instead of the year/?? naming now
[04:14:54] fryfrog: 2007.1 or what ever
[04:14:57] SlicerDicer: kormoc: yeah gentoo is the only system I could actually keep stable :/ something breaks on say ubuntu I dont have half a clue how to fix it :/
[04:15:03] SlicerDicer: maybe I am retarted or brainblocked
[04:15:16] SlicerDicer: but I know when I ran gentoo I could fry anything and fix it usually
[04:15:25] hti_pro: i got use to it, so i guess i got good with fixing things like that
[04:15:39] fryfrog: i think gentoo helped me learn linux better, for sure
[04:15:54] hti_pro: i considered it a learning experience
[04:16:08] hti_pro: as i did with gentoo
[04:16:46] hti_pro: i must say that setting up gentoo gave me much more satisfaction than any other distro
[04:16:54] SlicerDicer: http://funroll-loops.info/ always loved that
[04:17:00] hti_pro: and I put redhat on a level not far above microsoft
[04:17:25] fryfrog: i much prefer ubuntu over RH, but i setup a CentOS web server for a friend the other day and it wasn't *horrible*
[04:17:30] hti_pro: but still above
[04:17:32] hti_pro: for sure
[04:17:37] fryfrog: and I got to play with ISPConfig, which is actually pretty spiffy
[04:18:00] hti_pro: i swear by debian, not ubuntu, but pure debian
[04:18:02] hti_pro: for servers
[04:18:12] fryfrog: i've not used ubuntu on a "real" server yet
[04:18:22] fryfrog: they *do* have ubuntu-server version, which i played with a bit
[04:18:32] hti_pro: i wouldnt use ubuntu on a real server
[04:18:37] fryfrog: all the linux servers i deal with are fedora/rhel/centos
[04:18:49] hti_pro: i am weriously considering moveing from ubuntu to a pure debian
[04:19:09] fryfrog: for your main system?
[04:19:24] fryfrog: debian is okay and all, but... mainly if you like being ~2 years behind :p
[04:19:30] hti_pro: for all systems, workstation, server, the whole nine
[04:19:45] fryfrog: i couldn't do it, debian stable would drive me nuts
[04:19:45] hti_pro: I agree, but always very stable
[04:19:56] fryfrog: and debian *unstable* is virtually ubuntu, so why not use that
[04:20:09] hti_pro: for that exact reason
[04:20:10] fryfrog: sure, but i *like* using my distro to manage stuff
[04:20:12] nevyn: some de
[04:20:23] nevyn: some do use debian unstable for workstations like me.
[04:20:27] fryfrog: and if most of the things i deal with are 2 years old, that'd suck
[04:20:50] fryfrog: mythtv really needs (i think) a system with up to day libraries for firewire, things like that
[04:21:11] hti_pro: I know debian is ahead of ubuntu as far as mythtv
[04:21:12] fryfrog: but for say, a web/mysql/php server, maybe it isn't so bad :)

[04:22:11] Aval0n: heheh
[04:22:16] Aval0n: to be honest
[04:22:19] hti_pro: until i just added gutsy backports i was stuck with 0.20
[04:22:21] Aval0n: it's pretty good
[04:22:31] Aval0n: but gnome/compiz had a few little issues
[04:22:39] hti_pro: I do have an ubuntu hardy system and i love it
[04:22:42] Aval0n: dpkg doesn't config video drivers anymore
[04:22:48] Aval0n: you have to manually edit the xorg
[04:22:48] fryfrog: i'll dist-upgrade when it comes out, i did that on gutsy during RC and found a kernel bug :/
[04:22:50] Aval0n: kind of odd
[04:22:58] Aval0n: don't dist-upgrade
[04:23:00] fryfrog: Aval0n: huh? seriously?
[04:23:02] Aval0n: you might break it
[04:23:04] hti_pro: i don't use compiz, as I have slightly older systems, and i am a resource nut
[04:23:07] Aval0n: do update-manager -d
[04:23:08] fryfrog: Aval0n: what did you do, clean re-install?
[04:23:11] Aval0n: no
[04:23:15] Aval0n: update-manager -d -c
[04:23:16] fryfrog: Aval0n: ah, yeah, sorry that is what i meant
[04:23:30] fryfrog: i just call it dist-upgrade from habbit :)
[04:23:35] Aval0n: i know it's major tabu in here but I like running compiz + mythtv
[04:23:41] Aval0n: so when it fires up it loads mythtv like always
[04:23:49] Aval0n: but my wife can flip over and surf the web
[04:23:59] Aval0n: <Shrug> works well for her ;)

[04:26:13] Aval0n: you install stuff
[04:26:16] hti_pro: munchies would be wonderful right now
[04:26:19] Aval0n: and the old can remain

[04:27:28] fryfrog: you mean it keeps the old *and* the new?
[04:27:42] fryfrog: or are you talking about stuff that you maybe didn't install with aptitude / apt?
[04:27:49] Aval0n: I have a feeling it doesn't un-install everything
[04:28:04] Aval0n: i could be crazy though

[15:15:36] ajh: ok, switching to cpu+ with a couple tweaks dropped cpu use a whole lot and seems to be stable so far.

[15:27:26] godsyn: I've googled around and found one other person with the issue, but no resolution mentioned. ( http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7520 )
[15:27:39] natoka: ? what issue
[15:28:27] natoka: if you refer to error 255, i suggest you setup transcoding properly
[15:29:28] hti_pro: to convert a master backend to a slave backend, do I just change the ip of the master backend in myttv-setup and insert proper credentials??
[15:29:47] natoka: because if you just pick the defaults, they can error out with 255 ...
[15:30:00] Aval0n-: anyone know a free flac to mp3 converter?
[15:30:16] natoka: hti_pro: you will need to switch the database too
[15:30:41] natoka: what's flac?
[15:30:53] hti_pro: right, thats what i meant by the credentials, but i guess there are ips for database and backend huh.. But there are no other settings i need to change
[15:31:43] godsyn: Aval0n : http://tuxspot.blogspot.com/2005/08/converting-flac-to-mp3.html
[15:31:52] natoka: hti_pro: mysql settings are stored in mysql.txt
[15:32:06] hti_pro: thats right, thank you, I would have forgot
[15:32:39] ajh: does mythmusic need filesystem access to the music on the front-end only?
[15:33:39] hti_pro: yes, each frontend wanting to access music must have the filesystem mounted locally
[15:33:45] hti_pro: in my experience anyways
[15:34:00] hti_pro: please correct me if i am wrong
[15:35:30] hti_pro: and i think you must scan for music on each frontend. I don't think this is something that is tracked by the database, at least not shared among frontends

[15:37:48] ajh: hopefully someone's working on fixing it up? perhaps port over songbird with a myth ui? :)
[15:38:19] hti_pro: I wish this was something that could stream music just like it does tv, that would make it a helluva lot easier
[15:38:23] hti_pro: and convenient
[15:38:26] ajh: always thought it might be cool to do a frontend ui for this kind of thing using XUL.
[15:38:42] ajh: I bet that's how it'll end up, just too many things to work on right now.
[15:38:53] ajh: Being able to find itunes shares would be even nicer.
[15:39:16] ajh: It all takes time though.
[15:39:19] hti_pro: your probably right, i think you can, I am pretty sure there is a plugin
[15:39:24] hti_pro: for itunes
[15:39:46] hti_pro: I am watching tv on my backend/frontend and my CPU usage is outrageous. 65% for Xorg, and 30% for mythfrontend
[15:39:48] hti_pro: is this normal
[15:40:28] godsyn: syn@synserv:~$ mythbackend --version | MythTV Branch  : branches/release-0-21-fixes ; can I get some guidance other than "do it right"? I'm not asking to be spoon fed, just a point in the right direction as to how to troubleshoot the issue. Nothing is in the logs.
[15:40:30] hti_pro: the program guide is pretty much unuseable, about 20seconds before button press takes effect
[15:41:04] hti_pro: what is the issue godsyn

[15:44:55] ajh: yeah, it's odd they don't provide a template.
[15:45:03] hti_pro: and I don't see nfs moving it as i believe that is a posix standard, although nfs on linux isnt' exactly posix standard
[15:45:14] hti_pro: actually i've run into that alot
[15:45:27] ajh: Hmm, wonder where v4 is now.
[15:45:55] hti_pro: you do have the nfs-kernel-server package right
[15:46:12] godsyn: nat : this is purely a backend box, with mythweb. Will I need to setup this on a remote frontend? Will the settings transfer to the master?

[15:50:29] ajh: well, yes that's what I'm assuming, but not sure how to fix it

[15:57:33] iamlindoro__: fnc1, Because it's a buggy POS whose limited speed improvement is offset by loss of features, crashiness, inflexibility, etc.
[15:57:34] ajh: iamlindoro, what would be preferable?
[15:57:50] iamlindoro__: ajh, Assuming you have enough CPU, Xv is the best choice.

[15:57:54] iamlindoro__: xv-blit, that is

[16:25:30] GreyFoxx: the card does all work
[16:25:40] GreyFoxx: all the software does is read the data from the card and write it to the hd
[16:25:43] directhex: disk io might use the cpu up a bit though on old boards
[16:26:13] stimo: prob with P3 boards would be not supporting sata2 i think
[16:26:29] stimo: sata card than..
[16:26:31] GreyFoxx: you can pickup a pci sata card
[16:26:32] GreyFoxx: yeah
[16:26:51] directhex: it would be hard for a p3 board to support tech that wasn't invented yet, like sata
[16:26:57] stimo: ^^
[16:27:14] justinh: regarding the live tv programme guide, I'm a big advocate of making it common with the other programme guide & using contexts to separate them rather than having 2 massive chunks in ui.xml :)
[16:27:33] directhex: me too!
[16:27:37] directhex: make it so, commander!
[16:27:41] hti_pro: what playback profile provides for minimum cpu usage
[16:27:42] stimo: hmmmz btw i also want to be able to configure my recording over http is that hard to setup cause i'm a linux noob lol
[16:27:45] hti_pro: slim?
[16:27:50] GreyFoxx: stimo: install mythweb
[16:27:54] directhex: stimo, install mythweb
[16:27:59] GreyFoxx: you can do all scheduling via a web interface
[16:28:08] justinh: directhex: little point doing it myself since it needs to be turned over to mythui anyway ;)
[16:28:13] ajh: anyone working on a better channel editor?
[16:28:26] justinh: ajh: nope. knock yourself out
[16:28:28] ajh: preferably one with an export and import?
[16:28:41] ajh: justinh, yeah may get some time next month to work on the one in mythweb.
[16:28:44] justinh: hey that's not a half bad idea
[16:28:47] fnc1 (fnc1!n=nhensley@63.99.187.98) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[16:29:13] justinh: why aren't any of the feature requests in the wiki that useful?
[16:29:19] ajh: having a way to define a default directory for channel icons would also make it easier for those of us who need to enter half of them by hand.
[16:29:35] directhex: yes!
[16:29:46] ajh: I'll add some to the wiki once I'm more familiar with things, it's always hard to know what's already in and isn't....
[16:29:52] justinh: to hell with that – make it a new storage group :)
[16:30:05] GreyFoxx: a sg is better
[16:30:12] directhex: also, (nobody shout), being able to define a per-frontend videoroot is needed, so you don't need identical mountpoints across frontends
[16:30:16] ajh: sure, anything, just entering the full path 200 times is pain
[16:30:25] ajh: icon browser would be nice too ;)
[16:30:37] ajh: but that would be a lot more work.
[16:30:43] GreyFoxx: directhex|bsp: I don't honestly see a good reason to NOT mount identically, but someone is working on that
[16:30:44] justinh: with a storage group, there'd be no need for sharing icons over nfs or worse still copying em over yourself
[16:30:46] hti_pro: i think streaming video just like livetv would be better
[16:30:48] GreyFoxx: turning them into storage groups instead
[16:31:11] directhex: GreyFoxx, the answer to that one is "non-linux ports", but justinh will eat my spleen if i mention that
[16:31:11] hti_pro: then just setup the video and music collection once
[16:31:15] EvilGuru: For DVB-T what does the Signal: xx% mean? As those with higher %'ages (30 or so) I can't seem to get a lock on, but those in the 20's work
[16:31:18] justinh: heh
[16:31:30] directhex: EvilGuru, some drivers give reverse values
[16:31:33] justinh: windows users can eat cake. cake I tell you!
[16:31:57] EvilGuru: I'll play around with it at the week-end some more, compare with a STB and my card can get
[16:31:58] GreyFoxx: directhex|bsp: That's why I think someone started talking about just moving it all to storage groups
[16:32:00] directhex: 376M /media/WindowsXPHome/mythtv/mythtv/run/
[16:32:04] directhex: cake AND disk space
[16:32:19] directhex: GreyFoxx, or move mythvideo to upnp
[16:32:23] justinh: I still mean to carry out my threat of renaming all my theme images to end in . :D
[16:32:31] ajh: I'll just export it via nfs for now, but yeah that'd be nice.
[16:32:55] justinh: 376M? christ on a bike! A full blown minimyth frontend is less than that uncompressed!
[16:32:55] hti_pro: NOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOo....windows
[16:32:59] GreyFoxx: ctags -R

[16:33:17] hti_pro: computers are like air-conditioners, they don't work well when you open windows
[16:33:43] justinh: hti_pro: this is what they (sadly) call the march of progress
[16:34:00] EvilGuru: hti_pro: I know a lot of people who have the window open when the air conditioning is on
[16:34:05] directhex: Justin_, think that's bad?
[16:34:14] hti_pro: progress... I have seen none when it comes to windoze
[16:34:24] directhex: 143M /media/WindowsXPHome/mythtv/mythtv/run/libmythtv-0.21.dll
[16:34:33] directhex: :)
[16:34:40] justinh: 143M just for libmythtv ? :-O
[16:34:48] justinh: what's that pulled in?!

[16:35:49] mkrufky: is that working now?
[16:36:00] directhex: mkrufky, for very small values of "working"
[16:36:10] justinh: I know disk space is cheap these days but effing hell
[16:36:11] rooau1 (rooau1!n=cameron@ppp59-167-74-219.lns1.mel6.internode.on.net) has quit ("Leaving.")
[16:36:22] directhex: mkrufky, http://www2.apebox.org/wordpress/wp-content/g . . . tv-win32.JPG
[16:36:29] mkrufky: i guess that means, 'no' ?
[16:36:50] mkrufky: hot!
[16:37:00] EvilGuru: directhex: Looks like toy story 2 as opposed to Poriot ;)
[16:37:04] directhex: mkrufky, i got livetv to load and display, but most channel changes caused crashes. as did most things, such as incorrect config files
[16:37:27] directhex: EvilGuru, good guess! it's livetv toy story 2, and me browsing the guide (with livetv PiP)
[16:37:34] mkrufky: thats very good progress, tho
[16:37:40] directhex: there's an a/v sync issue
[16:37:46] directhex: and it crashes like nobody's business
[16:37:53] directhex: and look at the window title in the taskbar O_o
[16:38:26] justinh: why is a native windows frontend seen as a good thing? I just can't fathom it. When I first came to mythtv I just flatly acknowledged I'd _have_ to use linux or run with another software PVR – and I'd love it to stay that way thanks!
[16:38:52] EvilGuru: I run the OS X frontend
[16:39:04] EvilGuru: (well, along with the Linux one, depends what system I am on)
[16:39:06] justinh: so there's a small number of people who'd like it on their desktop.. but surely not a full frontend machine
[16:39:15] directhex: justinh, truth #1: people run myth on desktop machines. even in a window! not everyone has dedicated myth frontend boxes
[16:39:21] ajh: anyone seen problems with dvb card inputs without any sources connected to them? I'm getting backend crashes and the only change so far was adding 2 unused cards.
[16:39:32] EvilGuru: It seems a waste of a windows license to use it as a dedicated frontend
[16:39:36] justinh: directhex: well, that means they just have to go to hell like they always had to :)
[16:39:46] directhex: justinh, truth #2: people multitask on desktop machines. the wife watches shitty stuff in a window and plays games at the same time
[16:40:03] EvilGuru: In a window is much nicer, as I can have work on another screen/part of desktop
[16:40:31] justinh: you can't possibly _watch_ two things at the same time. not properly and IMHO if a programme isn't worthy of your full attention wtf are you recording it for? ;)
[16:40:32] directhex: justinh, truth #3: some people run !linux on the desktop
[16:40:51] directhex: justinh, do you have any windows open other than your irc client?
[16:41:09] EvilGuru: justinh: Do you listen the radio when you're driving?
[16:41:19] justinh: I run windows on my desktop. I develop stuff on my windows machine.. graphical things (cos linux sucks at that)....
[16:41:29] justinh: when I need myth on my desktop I open freenx :)
[16:41:35] ajh: a 2nd show would be news most of the time.
[16:42:15] mkrufky: i think that there is merit to run myth under windows
[16:42:22] mkrufky: i hate windows,
[16:42:24] justinh: I'm not going along with the radio argument. music can be in the background
[16:42:26] mkrufky: and i love linux
[16:42:26] PatrickDK: heh, I just have two machines
[16:42:32] mkrufky: and myth is the "gateway software"
[16:42:35] PatrickDK: my windows desktop, and my myth next to it
[16:42:43] justinh: muh but "it'll bring squillions of users to the party muhhhhhh" :-\
[16:42:52] ajh: tried it in vmware? ;)
[16:42:56] mkrufky: it will bring VENDORS to the party
[16:43:04] mkrufky: VENDORS will want to jump on the mythtv bandwagon
[16:43:10] mkrufky: because everybody knows it is awesome
[16:43:18] justinh: mkrufky: a native windows backend is even further away than a proper frontend
[16:43:22] PatrickDK: venders won't jump on, with a frontend on windows
[16:43:30] PatrickDK: only when you can put a backend on windows will they
[16:43:38] PatrickDK: cause the backend is what uses the special hardware
[16:43:38] Anduin: or it could bring another dtk
[16:43:43] justinh: and vendors are doing next to nothing about linux driver development
[16:43:43] mkrufky: ..... a bankend in windows is a work in progress, no?
[16:43:46] EvilGuru: How would a native backend work? As surely myth depends on V4L
[16:43:58] GreyFoxx: mkrufky: yup
[16:44:14] hti_pro: i wouldnt want to run a backend on windows, too much unnecessary resource usage
[16:44:24] mkrufky: anyway, even with a windows frontend.... it means i can suddenly pull my ATi machine out from the bottom of my closet and put it to good use
[16:44:31] hti_pro: i would be weary of fd up recordings
[16:44:52] hti_pro: I think that would be the only advantage
[16:45:01] hti_pro: IMHO
[16:45:21] godsyn: using my ATI machine as a backend, as the video card doesn't matter :)
[16:46:29] justinh: one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that when all of mythtv runs fully on windows I reckon that'll be the end of linux mythtv
[16:46:35] directhex: the "gateway software" principle is real though. if someone who uses windows uses firefox, thunderbird & OOo, then moving to linux is significantly less likely to induce a coma than if they use IE, OE and msoffice
[16:47:11] hti_pro: mama says microsoft is the devil
[16:47:12] mkrufky: gotta run, bbl
[16:47:15] mkrufky is now known as mkrufky-away
[16:47:15] janneg: the network recorders may already work on a windows backend
[16:47:24] justinh: can you boot windows over a network? oh yeah but it's a fecking evil bastard bitch from hell
[16:47:53] EvilGuru: justinh: Is a bit like saying "When Apple ported iTunes to windows their days were numbered" (I remember people saying that) Not that Apple are any less evil than MS
[16:47:54] justinh: can you do lame serial port remote controls on windows? yes but if you think they suck on linux, HELLO!
[16:48:36] justinh: EvilGuru: not at all. if the developers shift focus & the linux side begins to atrophy... bye bye
[16:48:58] EvilGuru: As most of the developers windows users at heart?
[16:48:59] justinh: after all, a lot of people only use linux so they can get mythtv. I was one of them
[16:49:24] PatrickDK: I only use windows cause I have to :(
[16:49:38] PatrickDK: but every machine I have that isn't my workstation is not windows
[16:49:47] hti_pro: im with PatrickDK
[16:49:49] justinh: having got some experience under my belt I'd not go any other way now. it's just less hassle. no driver reinstalling.. no reasonless crashes...
[16:50:00] stoth_ (stoth_!n=stoth@ool-18be07c9.dyn.optonline.net) has quit ("This computer has gone to sleep")
[16:50:14] hti_pro: The only machines i use windows on are dual boot and I only boot into windows when I absolutely have to
[16:50:18] directhex: cross-platform software is better software
[16:50:21] justinh: open source capture card drivers are generally much more reliable than the shite you get with cards for windows
[16:50:32] directhex: i write cross-platform apps because it makes for better code
[16:50:44] directhex: trying code on different platforms helps to find otherwise hidden bugs
[16:50:45] PatrickDK: cross platform does not make better software
[16:50:53] PatrickDK: it makes it a management nightmare
[16:50:59] nuonguy (nuonguy!n=john@c-24-6-175-26.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:51:11] PatrickDK: expecually when you put windows in it
[16:51:12] directhex: PatrickDK, only in #ifdef hell
[16:51:16] EvilGuru: I write crossplatform software because it is no extra effort on my part
[16:51:40] PatrickDK: ya, ifdef hell that can easily screw you :)
[16:51:41] EvilGuru: All of the libraries I use run on windows and os x so it is worth supporting them
[16:51:43] justinh: so erm.. how come the windows binaries are so huge?
[16:51:56] EvilGuru: justinh: Could be debug builds
[16:52:18] justinh: people have moaned about myth on linux being bloated... pfft! :)
[16:53:02] directhex: justinh, mingw qt3 on windows is a horrid hack. it would probably be better with qt4 or commercial qt3
[16:53:35] justinh: there's still light at the end of the tunnel though – I know at least a couple of people who regularly contribute code & they couldn't give much of a care about the 'port'. IMHO it's nothing more than a minor annoyance at the mo
[16:54:10] justinh: qt3? the scores on the doors will all soon be fours :)
[16:54:56] directhex: justinh, 1) at the time, win32-packager.pl was hard coded to qt3. it still might. 2) i wanted a built that could use my existing 0.21 BE
[16:54:58] justinh: I spose I _might_ warm to the idea – I mean one of the reasons I don't use any of the windows player software is that it all looks so arse
[16:55:41] justinh: I just don't want it to affect the status quo is all. it'd be more than sad if it did
[16:55:56] justinh: (in a bad way for linux users I mean)
[16:56:20] godsyn (godsyn!n=godsyn@c-68-59-211-72.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has quit (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-")
[16:56:32] directhex: 0.21 builds on windows. do you think it's suffered as a result?
[16:56:50] justinh: too early to say yet
[16:57:13] EvilGuru: Crazy people.
[16:57:24] justinh: that might change as soon as it becomes _usable_
[16:57:34] ajh: /usr/bin/mythbackend: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x00002aaac4641000 ***
[16:57:38] GreyFoxx: 1 minute poll, I'm adding a upnp config screen to mythtv-setup. 1 item on there is how often mythbackend will rescan for new videos to serve. (0 = off). Should I do it in increments of 100 seconds or 15/30 minutes ?
[16:57:42] ajh: So, that's what the backend is dying on.
[16:58:14] ajh: any idea on what to look for?
[16:58:15] GreyFoxx: default is currently 1800secs, so 30 minutes
[16:58:38] ajh: the front end also freezes up
[16:58:42] directhex: GreyFoxx, how about a flat "minutes" field?
[16:58:48] justinh: GreyFoxx: depends what rescanning the directories is going to do ;)
[16:59:07] GreyFoxx: justinh: basically the same as going to the root of your video dir and typing find
[16:59:15] janneg: GreyFoxx: minutes, seconds sucks for times over 5 minutes
[16:59:19] GreyFoxx: updates the list of videos/locations
[16:59:27] GreyFoxx: no reading of content
[16:59:31] justinh: I think 10 min intervals would be enough
[16:59:39] hti_pro: i like a lot of control so i would say seconds
[16:59:48] hti_pro: let the user decide
[16:59:52] GreyFoxx: the main thing is I will let 0 = off for those who want it disabled
[16:59:56] directhex: hti_pro, seconds? how enormously silly
[17:00:20] ajh: http://www.pastebin.org/29040 for full backend output and traceback
[17:00:29] justinh: for the amount of space it'd take up onscreen, why not hours & minutes?
[17:00:35] GreyFoxx: hti_pro: It's gonna be a spinbox, not an input field, so if someone wants to up it to 3600 they would have to hit up thousands of times hehe
[17:00:36] hti_pro: linux is all about total control
[17:00:49] directhex: GreyFoxx, right thousands of times, not up
[17:00:51] hti_pro: i see
[17:01:00] GreyFoxx: janneg: I'll likely use minutes
[17:01:06] GreyFoxx: directhex|bsp: true, true
[17:01:10] hti_pro: why not input box
[17:01:12] hti_pro: jc
[17:01:19] justinh: linux is all about total control. yeah – just look at xine's 'master of the known universe' settings!
[17:01:25] justinh: :-\
[17:02:05] GreyFoxx: janneg: Do we no longer use the commfree flag anymore? I saw it removed when you did your QT4 updates (db change 1218) and not mythweb complains if you commit changes from it's channel editor
[17:02:16] GreyFoxx: though I suppose I could grep -r it myself
[17:03:55] hti_pro: GreyFoxx just curious why not an input field
[17:04:33] GreyFoxx: hti_pro: Cause I wish to control the input using existing code rather than having to makesure they didn't type in "once an hour" :)
[17:04:49] GreyFoxx: the code is there, and fits in with most every other field
[17:04:52] hti_pro: i understand
[17:04:53] johndbritton_ is now known as johndbritton
[17:05:01] GreyFoxx: and most importantly, works with a remote easily :)

[17:05:52] GreyFoxx: minutes it is, default to 30, max of 1 day min of 0/off
[17:06:06] directhex: use a win32 date picker!
[17:06:15] GreyFoxx: heh
[17:08:57] directhex: there's a plan – dump QT, switch to MFC, and compile the linux port against winelib ^_^
[17:09:09] hti_pro: I think windows should come standard with a panic button, which will immediately destroy all evidence of windows ever being installed and install linux
[17:09:37] janneg: GreyFoxx: commfree was discarded a long time ago for a value in the commmethod field
[17:09:48] GreyFoxx: ok, so mythweb just needs to drop it as well
[17:09:50] directhex: hti_pro, "evil entity linux"
[17:10:34] ajh: ok, this is frustrating, the back-end just won't stay up.
[17:10:38] hti_pro: we could even simulate a blue screen so they feel right at home
[17:10:58] janneg: GreyFoxx: yes, it wasn't used in the last 2 years
[17:11:07] GreyFoxx: heh ok
[17:12:39] iamlindoro__: *Very* OT, but does anyone know/have experience with a linux based phone/PDA/Handheld with a Serial Port/can be adapter with one?
[17:12:41] hti_pro: has anyone checked out the microsoft "shared source"
[17:12:46] ajh: did that pastebin look like a myth error or a hardware problem? I moved it to a new box.
[17:13:22] directhex: iamlindoro__, eee!
[17:13:31] directhex: iamlindoro__, or anything with a usb port, and a usb/serial adapter
[17:14:09] ajh: ok, I've never seen the backend take 95% cpu before
[17:14:15] iamlindoro__: directhex, Yeah, eee is gonne be too big, has to clip on someone's belt-- need to find a device to pull data off of the serial port of a prototype medical device over a few days and dump it into text, nothing fancy
[17:15:23] hti_pro: they let you look at the source, but don't ever write anything similar or they will sue the shit out of you.
[17:15:41] PatrickDK: iamlindoro, does it have to run linux?
[17:15:48] iamlindoro__: directhex, Am starting to think the N800 might be a good choice
[17:15:57] PatrickDK: my friend loves his n800
[17:16:13] iamlindoro__: PatrickDK, Not *necessarily* but it's a preference... Open development environment is an almost-must
[17:16:14] PatrickDK: but then he helped nokia develop it and put linux on it
[17:16:39] PatrickDK: iamlindoro, was just thinking if you needed size, just program a pic+flash to do it
[17:16:39] Raspberry (Raspberry!n=raspberr@wireless.wizardtechnologies.net) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[17:18:09] iamlindoro__: PatrickDK, Well, we need a bit more than that, but that's probably the direction it will go for the product itself-- right now we need some sort of shell access, a C compiler, and an ability to interface with serial on the device... sounds like the N800 may fit the bill-- the old school answer would have been the Zaurus but good luck finding those in the US any more
[17:19:07] PatrickDK: I just got seveal of them bluetooth to serial adaptors, those are fun
[17:19:32] ajh: what could be causing the backend to jump to 100% cpu load?
[17:20:07] PatrickDK: ajh, hundreds of thousands of things
[17:20:33] ajh: what's a good way to tell what it is? :)
[17:20:42] PatrickDK: to get more detailed info :)
[17:20:47] PatrickDK: what program us using the cpu?
[17:21:02] PatrickDK: is the cpu usage from user program? system? wait? ...
[17:21:19] PatrickDK: do people not know how to use top?
[17:21:32] ajh: I mean the mythbackend task itse.f, 2.2 user, 45% system 47% nice
[17:21:37] ** PatrickDK joins iamlindoro in heartattack land **
[17:21:57] ** iamlindoro__ hands PatrickDK a stick. **
[17:21:57] ajh: strace shows nothing on the process.

[17:22:52] hti_pro: i run to the bathroom, sometimes
[17:22:59] PatrickDK: ajh, how about irq's per second
[17:23:07] PatrickDK: cause that much system time is the kernel busy doing something
[17:24:11] PatrickDK: ajh, try vmstat 1
[17:24:35] PatrickDK: sample values for in and cs
[17:24:58] hti_pro: would udma2 cause livetv to become unresponsive to keypresses
[17:25:05] ajh: in around 900, cs around 10,000
[17:25:13] PatrickDK: your cs is fucked
[17:25:40] PatrickDK: that says the kernel is switch what program is running 10k times a second
[17:25:57] PatrickDK: I wouldn't recommend cs going over 3–5k on extreemly busy systems

[18:31:08] directhex: hti_pro, bind-address in my.cnf

[18:32:23] stuarta: kormoc, depends on your distro
[18:32:49] kormoc: stuarta, that's a huge huge break in mysql standards. What distros do this?
[18:33:01] ** stuarta rechecks his info **
[18:33:51] hti_pro: flush priveleges??
[18:34:01] stuarta: you have to spell it right
[18:34:07] hti_pro: will that disconnect the master backend, which is currently recording
[18:34:16] kormoc: no
[18:34:20] natoka: hti_pro: when changing mysql permissions you need to have mysql to reload them
[18:34:40] directhex: kormoc, but it's so rarely a GRANT issue at all
[18:34:46] stuarta: kormoc: your info is correct. my brain is not
[18:36:02] ajh: is there something that limits how many inputs you can put in for dvb cards? I was able to put 2 on 2 card but the 3rd doesn't ask for 'add new'
[18:36:47] ajh: un, scratch that, my fault
[18:38:11] hti_pro: I tried flush priveleges; and it gave me this ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'priveleges' at line 1
[18:38:21] hti_pro: wait

[18:38:30] SlicerDicer: kormoc: --xvmc-lib=XvMCNVIDIA ;-)
[18:38:33] hti_pro: got it
[18:38:34] SlicerDicer: it allows for it to be enabled
[18:38:41] SlicerDicer: now if it works is another story I will find out
[18:39:39] SlicerDicer: kormoc: I guess its using a wrapper otherwise? at least thats what I read?
[18:39:54] hti_pro: still denied access
[18:39:58] ajh: uh, why am I only able to add a switch config to one of the dvb inputs? are the others automatically attached?
[18:40:12] kormoc: SlicerDicer, it uses xvmcw, so whatever you have xvmcw to use, it would use
[18:40:25] SlicerDicer: yeah
[18:40:40] SlicerDicer: I am just messing with it :)
[18:40:46] SlicerDicer: if it breaks woohoo ;-)
[18:42:03] ajh: and the 'dvb-s' button seems to be missing to configure things
[18:42:04] hti_pro: can i query the mysql.user tables to see what mythtv should be able to access
[18:42:09] natoka: hti_pro: then it's probably a name resolution problem
[18:42:35] hti_pro: name resolution works great
[18:42:37] natoka: hti_pro: that would normally be mysql.db you have to query
[18:42:55] kormoc: natoka, actually, he's correct
[18:42:55] natoka: hti_pro: did you test it with host?
[18:43:04] kormoc: natoka, mysql way is db.table
[18:43:12] kormoc: natoka, so he said mysql database, table user
[18:43:22] ajh: according to the wiki on the input connections screen there's supposed to be a dvb-s button between unencrypted channels only and allow audio only channels
[18:43:32] hti_pro: anyone know what command i would use to do that

[19:24:18] mkrufky: :-)
[19:24:53] hti_pro: at least as long as i remember
[19:25:27] hti_pro: anyone have any idea how to change the default search provider in the firefox toolbar to google.com/linux
[19:25:45] hti_pro: without source modification, preferably
[19:27:44] mkrufky: are you kidding?
[19:27:50] mkrufky: its in the options
[19:28:24] mkrufky: and thats really off-topic here (not that you should listen to me — i always talk about tv shows)
[19:28:24] hti_pro: i can find google.com, but i can't set it to google.com/linux
[19:28:37] hti_pro: i agree, it is way off topic
[19:29:51] hti_pro: heres one on topic, can i set up the backend to provide the same settings to all frontends, or is that something tracked on the frontend itself
[19:31:29] stuarta: its a per frontend thing
[19:34:47] hti_pro: is it per frontend, but kept in the database or a config file on the frontend

[19:35:19] fn1: afternoon all
[19:35:43] fn1: i got a quick question.. for just storage should i go with xfs or reiserfs?
[19:35:47] Anduin: hti_pro: it is per frontend (settings table)

[19:36:23] hti_pro: ok, i wont ask how to replicate that table to other frontend, i've had enough mysql today
[19:36:51] Anduin: hti_pro: you don't do the table, just rows, there is a hostname column
[19:37:18] hti_pro: i see, unless it is real simple, I don't want nothin to do with it today
[19:40:18] fn1: anyone anyone? xfs or reiserfs?
[19:40:29] directhex: fn1, for storage? xfs
[19:40:35] fn1: thx
[19:40:43] fn1: ext wont work for me this time...
[19:40:51] fn1: ext3
[19:40:53] directhex: reiser is for bottle rocket data, i.e. /tmp
[19:41:03] stuarta: xfs is for video
[19:41:11] fn1: cool...
[19:41:17] stuarta: hey, even the bbc decided on xfs
[19:41:18] fn1: ext3 maxes out at 8tb
[19:41:32] stuarta: you have 8tb?
[19:41:35] fn1: 10
[19:41:39] stuarta: fm
[19:41:44] directhex: stuarta, and i have a support contract from sgi, so i can get xfs support from the right people if i lie & claim the office machine is busted

[19:43:29] directhex: yep
[19:43:31] fn1: 27tb sheesh
[19:43:49] fn1: my array is still building... directhex, you familair with mdadm then?
[19:44:09] directhex: fn1, not intimately. the man from SGI configured md, and i use hardware raid at home
[19:44:11] fn1: i built 14 drives, and have one left and want to hadd it as a hot spare.. but can seem to figure that out
[19:44:48] SlicerDicer: fn1: lol I just fixed all mine so all the stuff is familar in my head still
[19:44:52] stuarta: can't say i've added spares to an array with mdadm
[19:45:05] fn1: how do i add a hot spare?
[19:45:09] fn1: sdp1
[19:45:23] directhex: fn1, anyway, ignore the disk space. add up the Mem.
[19:46:07] fn1: looks like a tb?
[19:46:25] PatrickDK: directhex, so that runs 32bit os? :)
[19:46:28] directhex: fn1, looks awfully like it, doesn't it
[19:46:37] stuarta: looks like 1gb to me
[19:46:59] directhex: stuarta, then you're miscounting
[19:47:06] ** stuarta notes that free uses 1k as a base **
[19:47:14] SlicerDicer: fn1: just using the -add no?
[19:47:15] stuarta: ergo ~= 1tb
[19:47:18] directhex: no, "free -k" uses 1k as a base
[19:47:31] fn1: add ok.. but how do i tell it to be a hot spare...
[19:47:32] directhex: no wait, it DOES
[19:47:33] directhex: my bad
[19:47:48] stuarta: was gunna say 2063944 = my 2gb
[19:47:55] directhex: jms@orac:~> free -g | grep Mem
[19:47:56] directhex: Mem: 985 429 555 0 0 190
[19:47:57] PatrickDK: anyone counting memory in less than 1k has a computer from the 70's
[19:47:59] directhex: that's less ambiguous
[19:48:01] fn1: when i built i tired a -x1 and it made disc 14 out of 15 the hot.. i really wanted the hot to be #!15 in the last slot
[19:48:17] SlicerDicer: that I am not sure on fn1 on how to set it as hotspare?
[19:48:30] hti_pro: if i run mythbackend in non-daemon mode it should have some kind of output to stdout right??
[19:50:37] stuarta: a bit
[19:50:39] hti_pro: I am running mythbackend from command line and absolutely no output to log or stdout
[19:51:23] hti_pro: oh wait i do have somthing to the log, not the usually 10s of pages though
[19:52:29] hti_pro: i'm tryin to figure out why my capture card on my slave backend is coming up as unavailable but the logs aren't tellin me crap
[19:53:13] hti_pro: anyone have any ideas
[19:54:08] fn1: one other note.. are there any good GUI tools for raid? anything anyone can recomend?
[19:54:35] stuarta: gui? go the power of the cli!!!!!
[19:54:36] hti_pro: should i be looking at logs from slave or master, the card is on the slave so i assume that would be the place to look right?
[19:55:20] natoka: fn1: you can add the disc with mdadm --manage --add
[19:55:21] Anduin: hti_pro: Yes, that is where the card will be opened.
[19:55:27] fn1: gui is easier for some things... espicailly when your not use to running things but im sure ill use the cli for most...
[19:55:38] fn1: natoka: yeah but how do i tell it to be a hot spare...
[19:55:42] SlicerDicer: natoka: thats what I thought :)
[19:55:45] hti_pro: Anduin: any idea why i would get nothing about this in the logs
[19:55:49] fn1: i guess just add x1 in there...
[19:55:50] natoka: fn1: should then become a hot spare for the md device
[19:56:16] Anduin: hti_pro: No, usual reasons are that the card is opened elsewhere or the driver is failing.
[19:56:33] fn1: ill give it a shot tonight when i get home
[19:56:35] natoka: fn1: you can even share the spare then between different arrays when setting up /etc/mdadm.conf properly
[19:56:55] hti_pro: driver is ok, and not opened, tvtime is running perfectly
[19:57:35] hti_pro: the order in which the backends and frontends are opened shouldnt matter right
[19:57:46] Asacarn1: for building htpcs, are intel chips much more expensive than AMD?
[19:57:51] Anduin: hti_pro: you should see output when running the backend, solve that first
[19:57:58] Asacarn1: i'm a little out of the loop, back in my day (5 years ago!) AMD was the great value
[19:58:03] hti_pro: i see very little in the log
[19:58:05] Anduin: hti_pro: correct, the frontend will reconnect if needed
[19:58:07] hti_pro: but nothing on stdout
[19:58:43] fn1: natoka: yeah ive seen that on some webpages.. but they were talking about shareing between them.. when one had it setup already the other had none..
[19:58:45] Anduin: hti_pro: if you run just "mythbackend" and see nothing on the screen, you are not running the mythbackend directly
[19:58:52] justinh: stuarta: you been reading Germaine Greer again? ;)
[19:58:54] fn1: it was the initial setup of a hot spare i couldnt figure out...
[19:59:00] justinh: the power of the cli ...
[19:59:03] stuarta: justinh: not that i know of :)
[19:59:15] ** stuarta suffers ENORUM **
[19:59:38] stuarta: ah yes, the cli....
[19:59:57] hti_pro: i see about 20 lines, about connecting to the database but thats it
[20:00:44] stuarta: well if it has nothing to do it doesn't say much
[20:00:48] Anduin: hti_pro: try with -v most
[20:01:01] stuarta: and prepare for the onslaught
[20:02:19] wireddd (wireddd!n=wired@unaffiliated/wireddd) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[20:02:42] Anduin: hti_pro: should also check the master log, make sure it has a "adding: hostname as slave backend server", you could just have things configured wrong.
[20:03:04] ** stuarta goes for more booze **
[20:03:26] ajh: If you have 3 DVB cards do you need 3 input devices or can they share one?
[20:03:43] tcpsyn: what?
[20:03:57] olds: you need 3 input devices
[20:04:20] ajh: ah, that might explain things, thanks.
[20:04:22] iamlindoro__: Do you mean listing sources? If so, yes, those can be shared among cards
[20:04:24] hti_pro: nothing in the local logs regarding errors with cards, but i am concerned about this; Skipping 'Flag Commercials' job for chanid 1049 @ 20080411140000, should run on 'mythfe' instead
[20:04:24] hti_pro: I have it setup to run jobs on any host, not just original
[20:04:57] hti_pro: got the adding slave backend in the master log
[20:05:05] ajh: Sorry, I meant VIdeo Sources
[20:05:33] iamlindoro__: Yup, video sources can be used on as many cards as you like
[20:05:51] iamlindoro__: That is, video sources in Myth terminology where they = listings
[20:06:43] ajh: hrm, I'm confused then, when I try livetv I get card3 but no video, and hitting C won't switch to the others.
[20:09:28] SlicerDicer: mkrufky: got it to build heh

[20:10:37] SlicerDicer: mkrufky: what were they thinking killing off jin :/
[20:10:38] stuarta: ajh: you can put 1 video source on 3 cards
[20:10:42] stuarta: i do it with 2
[20:11:02] SlicerDicer: mkrufky: ABC the family network... yeah so they fire anybody who gets in trouble and kill em... horking the storyline IMO
[20:11:09] ajh: DiSEqCDevTree, Error: No root device tree node!
[20:11:18] ajh: I suspect that's the issue.

[20:11:45] SlicerDicer: iamlindoro__ hes dead
[20:11:59] iamlindoro__: SlicerDicer, A grave on the mainland means nothing
[20:12:12] hti_pro: what is port 6547 used for
[20:12:13] ajh: Oh, I have an idea... I was trying to set it up tone earlier and left it turned on for 2 lnb ports, probably need to reset that.
[20:12:16] SlicerDicer: he got busted just like the others... hes bannzored
[20:12:30] mkrufky: ugh bad timing ... i'll be back ina few minutes
[20:12:35] iamlindoro__: By that logic anyone not in the Oceanic 6 is dead... doubtful. He may die, but it hadn't happened yet.
[20:12:37] iamlindoro__: er hasn't

[20:15:05] iamlindoro__: If I recall correctly
[20:15:12] hti_pro: oh.
[20:15:30] iamlindoro__: 6547 = uPnP IIRC

[20:39:23] CCFL_Man4: iamlindoro__: from what i can tell, like with the discovery channel, cable companies output the discovery channel via composite video through the modulator, and the rest, like science channel, animal planet, etc through asi or dhei to their cherry pickers

[21:49:47] hti_pro: yeah but it doesnt come with a modulator or a notch filter

[21:50:38] PatrickDK: you don't need a distribution panel like that, but it does make it more simple
[21:50:51] hti_pro: i think you would be better going with Net Media MM73 Triple Play Modulator on the page you sent and the combiner it recommends
[21:50:55] PatrickDK: you need a modulator, should get a notch filter, and split it into the cable
[21:50:55] ericpersson: what becomes more simple?
[21:51:07] hti_pro: they do have all in ones, but i don't see any listed
[21:51:10] PatrickDK: ericpersson, getting the signal levels right
[21:51:23] hti_pro: do you have digital cable
[21:51:39] ericpersson: PatrickDK: thought it would fix that for me more or less automatically, but I guess this is trickier then I expected..
[21:52:41] ericpersson: hti_pro: no, I have a analog cable from my cable company coming from the wall, and would like to add 1 channel(image/sound from computer) to that cable, since it runs around in the apartment, to get away from putting out new cables everywhere..
[21:52:57] PatrickDK: ericpersson, http://www.smarthome.com/images/7704cmdgm.gif
[21:53:04] PatrickDK: that is as simple as it gets, if everything just works :)
[21:53:08] hti_pro: that should work fine with the setup above
[21:53:22] hti_pro: Net Media MM73 Triple Play Modulator on the page you sent and the combiner it recommends
[21:54:23] hti_pro: or even with this modulator Net Media MM70 Micro Modulator
[21:54:23] ericpersson: PatrickDK: good picture, thanks..
[21:55:39] hti_pro: should work, depending on what channels the modulator is capable of, and assuming it doesnt correspond with an already used channel
[21:55:55] ericpersson: the mm70 and a combiner should work..
[21:56:22] ericpersson: what happens if its already used, does it take one or mess them both up?
[21:56:25] hti_pro: the latter modulator is capable of (UHF 14–69, CATV 70–94 & 100–125), im not sure about the first, it doesnt say
[21:56:56] hti_pro: it depends on which is stronger, but there will undoubtedly be interference, hence the need for a notch filter
[21:57:10] ericpersson: hehe..ok..
[21:57:29] ericpersson: guess i can order the mm70 and a combiner to try.. its not that expensive..

[21:59:12] ericpersson: hti_pro: have no idea actually. :)
[21:59:20] hti_pro: that should give you more flexibility in selecting a channel
[21:59:45] ericpersson: just knowing that the thing is called a rf-modulator made it a lot easier to find..
[22:00:04] ericpersson: well, I only have like 10 channels so the chances are hight I will find some empty spot..
[22:00:28] hti_pro: http://www.smarthome.com/7822c.html heres a notch filter that will block anything above 86.
[22:00:44] hti_pro: yeah you should definitely be good to go with the mm70 and combiner
[22:00:53] ericpersson: ahh, nice..
[22:01:08] ericpersson: notchfilter..strange name..
[22:01:33] hti_pro: kindof, they also have ones that can be tuned to block just one channel, but they are expensive though
[22:01:57] ericpersson: yeah, think it'll be enough with something cheap..
[22:02:02] ericpersson: hopefully..
[22:02:06] hti_pro: if you are really looking for quality i think amx makes what you need, but they would probably be alot more expensive than what you already found

[23:01:19] MaverickTech: it's been running trunk for about 18 months now – usually not lagging behind the bleeding edge by more than a fortnight
[23:01:34] MaverickTech: stuarta: thanks for the warning
[23:01:46] stuarta: heh, seems to be working for me atm.
[23:01:52] MaverickTech: cool

[23:03:23] stuarta: give it a whirl then <insert usual disclaimer here>

[23:28:55] anenigma: how well does myth handle DPMS? as in, will myth automatically switch the tv "on" (switch dpms off) when a button is pressed, or do I need the irexec entry in the lirc file still?
[23:30:50] kormoc: anenigma, you don't really understand dpms. myth turns off dpms when it's playing a video and turns it on when it's paused or at a menu. dpms itself controls the blanking based on idleness
[23:31:07] kormoc: anenigma, so it's not a per button thing that myth or any other app controls
[23:32:10] ShiftyPowers: anyone know the best way to purge an SVN installation of mythtv?
[23:32:19] ShiftyPowers: want to try reinstalling completely
[23:32:25] anenigma: ok. if myth is at a menu, and idle so that it goes blank on the screen, will it automatically come back on when myth recieves an event?
[23:32:31] kormoc: ShiftyPowers, rm <insert files here>
[23:32:41] ShiftyPowers: kormoc, of course
[23:32:42] kormoc: anenigma, yes
[23:32:44] ShiftyPowers: but which ones :)
[23:33:02] anenigma: kormoc: aah, cool. thanks :)
[23:33:13] kormoc: ShiftyPowers, that depends on the version and all that. you might want to do another make install and capture the output and use that to generate your file list
[23:33:24] ShiftyPowers: ah, good idea

[23:48:09] jimbalaya: does anyone have any suggestions (log files i might not know about, upgrade documentation, anything at all) as to why MythMusic would stop working with virtually no log output (i did happen to glimpse some output on the terminal about being unable to use/load the mythmusic plugin
[23:48:32] stuarta: recompiled lately?
[23:48:46] ShiftyPowers: has anyone compiled SVN lately?
[23:48:53] ShiftyPowers: wondering if anyone has mythfrontend seg faulting
[23:49:01] jimbalaya: I've just upgraded to .21 (I'm in debian etch)
[23:49:03] stuarta: it's working for me right now
[23:49:32] ShiftyPowers: stuarta, when was the last time you upgraded?
[23:49:35] ShiftyPowers: or compiled?
[23:49:44] stuarta: segfaulting frontend is a symptom of things building/linking/running against the wrong libs
[23:49:51] stuarta: a few hours ago
[23:50:35] ShiftyPowers: that's what i'm trying to figure out
[23:50:45] ShiftyPowers: i've removed all the files completely and trying to recompile again
[23:50:49] ShiftyPowers: see if that fixes it
[23:50:50] jimbalaya: i just uninstalled the mythmusic plugin, then re-installed it ... no help .... i guess i'll try a reboot (?)
[23:51:06] stuarta: no, reboot is for windows users
[23:51:41] stuarta: jimbalaya: did you do a make distclean of the plugins and rebuild them first?
[23:51:54] jimbalaya: one odd thing is that most of my myth* apps are '0.21–0.11etch1' ... mythmusic and mythvideo (which works fine) are '0.21–0.6etch1'
[23:52:17] stuarta: that could be your problem then
[23:52:38] jimbalaya: my entire system is (as close as i can get it – nvidia, lirc, ndiswrapper modules aside) a standard stable debian install
[23:53:14] jimbalaya: i'm installing all myth-related software via debian-multimedia repositories ............ *maybe* the mirror isn't up to date ...
[23:53:26] stuarta: maybe
[23:54:12] jimbalaya: nope, 'http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/mai . . . thmusic.php' lists it as -0.6etch1
