[00:04:02] Tanthrix: jblack: Ah hell! If only you would have alt-tabbed my name right. I just watched the whole landing on the crappy WMV nasa TV stream!
[00:05:14] jblack: sorry
[00:05:21] Tanthrix: Er, tab completed.
[00:05:33] Tanthrix: No worries. They got a landing confirmation signal, so I'm happy.
[00:05:55] kdub: when do we get pictures
[00:06:16] Tanthrix: Couple hours at least. Should be tonight though.

[01:20:54] hadees: can you use the Hauppauge HD-PVR with mythtv yet?

[01:27:45] kdub: do you have one?
[01:27:59] kdub: if you say yes there may be a break in at your house tonigh
[01:28:00] kdub: t
[01:29:24] WattoDaToydarian: Hey does anyone know how to slow down the amount of HDD usage mythtranscode uses like how you can tell mythtv to slowly delete files?
[01:30:45] cesman: whaaaaaaaaaaa?
[01:31:09] kdub: I do not get it either.
[01:31:33] WattoDaToydarian: what I asked?
[01:31:49] kdub: yeah
[01:33:19] WattoDaToydarian: well I do lossless mpeg2 transcodes just to cut out the cutpoints and when I run it the HDD is consumed almost completly and I can't watch any recordings and I get IOBOUND errors if it's recording.
[01:34:53] WattoDaToydarian: I just want to slow the progress of mythtranscode so I can still use the system while it is running
[01:35:44] cesman: ahhh
[01:35:46] cesman: nice
[01:35:54] cesman: or renice
[01:37:17] WattoDaToydarian: nice only changes the CPU priority right? The lossless option doesnt really use any CPU, I just want to reduse the amount of HDD usage like what the slowly delete option is for.
[01:37:45] cesman: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1 . . . ythtranscode
[01:37:51] cesman: that may be a good place to start
[01:41:06] JohnMahowald: Get more disk
[01:42:11] kdub: i really hate the about linux
[01:42:18] kdub: saving a damn file takes over your machine
[01:43:05] hads: ?
[01:43:26] WattoDaToydarian: yeah, deleting too. So there is no way to slow the amount of disk usage for a given program?
[01:44:01] kdub: i do not think disk usage is the term you are looking for
[01:44:34] kdub: linux gives really high priority to dish input/output, and it is slowing down your machine while transcoding
[01:44:48] kdub: dish=disk
[01:45:30] WattoDaToydarian: Ah right, that's what I meant. I want to reduse the disk I/O for the transcoder.
[01:46:07] kdub: i looked into how to do it on my machine at work and i couldnt find anything
[01:47:14] WattoDaToydarian: Yeah I don't see anything either. I guess it is something that has to be programed into the individual program.
[01:47:35] kdub: no i think its just the OS
[01:48:06] kdub: cp a 4 gig file and watch your cursor skip around when you move the mouse
[01:48:54] hads: Not a problem here, perhaps it's your box.
[01:48:55] WattoDaToydarian: the cursor skipping usually means for me that DMA isn't enabled.
[01:51:31] kdub: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552231
[01:54:50] WattoDaToydarian: That is an interesting post...
[02:01:07] stiev3_: For some reason, my mythbuntu panel remains visible at the top of the screen when mythfrontend starts. How would I go about fixing this?

[02:52:28] Aval0n: that happens every once in a blue moon to me too
[02:52:45] Aval0n: I usually just restart the frontend to fix it however.
[02:52:52] Aval0n: what window manager are you using?
[02:53:12] Aval0n: most of the devs would tell you to not let gnome load at all
[02:53:21] Aval0n: and to use something like openbox or similar
[02:53:38] hads: Or just no window manager
[02:54:00] Aval0n: well then you have issues if you want to use any external apps, i.e. mplayer, vlc etc...
[02:54:12] Aval0n: won't carry over mouse focus and such
[02:54:24] Aval0n: or just focus I mean
[02:54:27] Aval0n: not mouse focus :)
[02:54:40] hads: Not much need to use external apps nw that the internal player is so good though.
[02:55:01] Aval0n: meh
[02:55:06] Aval0n: it's def getting there....
[02:55:14] Aval0n: stil has some issues
[02:55:16] Aval0n: still*
[02:55:32] hads: meh. Works fine here.
[02:55:42] Aval0n: good
[02:55:47] Aval0n: I use it mostly
[02:56:09] Aval0n: for people with borderline systems mplayer is a better option for some hd video
[02:56:23] Aval0n: unless you just wanna use that patch to enable the skiploopfilter
[02:56:31] Aval0n: but then you HD video looks about as good as your analog stuff

[07:34:10] Aval0n: it's basically like this |---|___|
[07:34:17] Aval0n: from a top view

[07:35:12] justinh: this has been making me think about how I'm gonna do the rewire & rejig the central heating system
[07:35:32] Aval0n: clever, probably because of how much space it saves
