[00:06:51] Lynet: am2 cpu board? Didn't even know that existed.
[00:07:08] Dagmar: What? Yeah
[00:07:12] Dagmar: Hell, they're up to AM2+ now
[00:07:26] Dagmar: NOte that AM2 and AM2+ are "mostly" compatible with each other.
[00:07:34] Lynet: as in 939-board being upgradeable to am2.
[00:07:44] Dagmar: Oh that's been the case for awhile now
[00:08:11] Dagmar: The daughterboard for me to upgrade the 939dual-SATA2 to AM2 is about $30
[00:10:46] Dagmar: The AM2+ CPUs are pretty much all Phenom (x3 or higher) chips
[00:11:09] Dagmar: ...or at least, if there's any AM2+ chips that _aren't_ Phenom, I've not seen them anywhere yet.
[00:12:02] symptom (symptom!n=symptom@ip72-197-45-233.sd.sd.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:12:05] jamesd: newegg usually has some
[00:12:07] Lynet: Are the AM2/AM2+ compat problems caused by bios, or are there deeper problems?
[00:12:26] Dibblah (Dibblah!n=Dibblah@80-192-14-169.cable.ubr02.dund.blueyonder.co.uk) has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[00:13:05] Dagmar: jamesd: No, they actually dont.
[00:13:05] Dagmar: All the AM+ CPUs they have are Phenoms
[00:13:54] Dagmar: There are not "compatibiility problems" between the two so much as there are things the AM2+ boards have (multiple power paths) which AM2+ can take advantage of, which won't work fully with AM2 (-) boards
[00:14:25] Dagmar: Ah yes and with that power comes higher memory bus speed
[00:14:35] Dagmar: Am2 seems to top out at 800, AM2+ 1066.
[00:15:02] Dagmar: So, to keep my upgrade path open, I've pretty much gotta get an AM2+ board
[00:15:32] Dagmar: I've *no* idea if one can stick DDR2 1066 RAM in a board htat tops out at DDR2 800 and get it to use it, and I kinda doubt it's possible
[00:16:30] Lynet: Smells like putting pc133 ram on a 440bx board, some work some don't.
[00:16:53] Dagmar: Yeah
[00:17:09] Dagmar: Looks like ther'es not a lot of price difference between the boards, too, which is good.
[00:17:22] Dagmar: I am *trying* to keep my upgrade path relatively open

[00:17:54] neztit1 (neztit1!n=neztiti@a65-191.adsl.paltel.net) has quit ("Leaving.")
[00:18:48] Lynet: That upgrade path tends to be rather illusory in my experience, usually do the full mobo+cpu+ram combo at each upgrade.
[00:19:13] Dagmar: Well, I went from AGP to PCI-E on the same board
[00:19:19] Dagmar: ...and from single-core to dual-core on the same board.
[00:19:37] Dagmar: If I get an AM2+ board at least I'll likely be able to go from dual-core to triple-core
[00:20:04] Dagmar: Intel on the other hand, that stuff has been "upgrade it all" for awhile now

[00:32:43] Dagmar: Heh. I am starting to see the word "licenced" listed with BIOS specs now... Like a motherboard manufacturer saying "Use of licenced AWARD BIOS" and I have to wonder if some manufacturer got caught *pirating* their BIOS or something
[00:35:36] Lynet: Kinda like that we only use capacitors manufactured in Japan thing that was so important a while ago.

[00:55:46] whoDat_: lol
[00:56:57] Chutt: just use the osd menu, it has menus for next card/input/source/etc
[00:57:26] whoDat_: ahh, ok thanks!
[00:57:57] whoDat_: chutt speaks in this channel? lol ;)
[01:02:24] cafuego: For the record, manually adding dtv_multiplex and channel entries brought back my missing channels :-)

[01:06:56] mhatch (mhatch!n=matthew@66.29.175.10.static.utahbroadband.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:08:24] mhatch: What do I need to do to allow mythtv to compile with xvmc-opengl? I get the error "Disabling XvMC-opengl. It is only available when linking against libXvMCNVIDIA", which I have installed...
[01:12:41] Dagmar: Well, you have to have a high tolerance for failure, for one thing.
[01:12:53] Dagmar: There's a reason it defaults to disabled.
[01:13:01] Dagmar: ...because it doesn't work.
[01:13:43] Dagmar: Basically, do not force anything involving the XvMC parts.
[01:14:10] Dagmar: Even if it looks like it's not going to link against nVidia's specific library, it does not matter.
[01:14:22] wrlinn (wrlinn!n=ds@adsl-71-135-64-103.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:14:41] Dagmar: Things only need to link against XvMC. The way XvMC works, the nVidia library acts as a middle-man whether the application likes it or not.
[01:16:13] mhatch: ah
[01:20:18] Dagmar: Yeah basically it's a lot less trouble than it looks
[01:20:57] Dagmar: --enable-xvmc --disable-xvmc-opengl --enable-opengl-vsync I can at least confirm are safe.
[01:21:40] Dagmar: I've been using those options for awhile. The middle one is just me being explicit in my build script so that, should I start a new build from scratch instead of using the script I use, I won't accidentally *forget* and hit that issue square in the face again.
[01:21:51] Dagmar: Tuen that bad thing on and you can get *spontaneous reboots*
[01:21:57] Dagmar: Fu-u-u-u-u-u-un.

[01:42:03] Dagmar: Slowly but surely I'm figuring out the multiplier crap
[01:42:24] rokstar: i'm not sure if this is an ivtv or mythtv or scheduale direct problem
[01:42:37] iamlindoro: Dagmar: for one of your mobos?

[01:42:50] iamlindoro: ah
[01:43:06] Dagmar: Looks like ther'es no clean way to be using PC 1066 with an X2 CPU

[01:46:22] njcnjcnjc: need help – when I install Mythtv on Fedora 9, I had everything working except the remote for my Hauppage 350 TV Card
[01:46:36] njcnjcnjc: irw showed the commands, remote was not working for mythtv
[01:46:57] njcnjcnjc: I put the lircrc file in the correct places and still no remote, am I missing a step?
[01:47:42] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Is what I'm reading about memory controller speed divisors being whole-steps only correct, or are these people full of crap?
[01:48:26] iamlindoro: Dagmar: I'm afraid I'm not an expert on that, have never done anything but the defaults on my boards... sorry :)
[01:49:04] psm321: njcnjcnjc: what does your frontend log say about lirc?

[01:49:51] psm321: njcnjcnjc: double check (if you have it in a file, search for "lirc")
[01:50:01] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Well, it seems like some of these chips would actually maybe be *fine* for 1066
[01:50:06] njcnjcnjc: Seems to be not loading that, is that a package I need to load?
[01:50:07] psm321: njcnjcnjc: if you dont see anything at all about it you probably didnt compile in lirc support
[01:50:24] njcnjcnjc: I did search for lirc, it is not in the file
[01:50:34] njcnjcnjc: I downloaded the rpms files from atrpms
[01:50:42] psm321: hmm
[01:50:43] njcnjcnjc: I am wondering if I forgot a file
[01:50:50] njcnjcnjc: I am using mythdora 5 right now
[01:51:04] psm321: i dont know anything about rpm installations unfortunately ... i always do my own compile
[01:51:05] njcnjcnjc: but does not support my wireless card so I was trying fedora 9
[01:51:12] mkrufky (mkrufky!n=mk@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:51:23] psm321: i kinda doubt that a mainstream package would not include lirc support
[01:51:34] psm321: njcnjcnjc: does it work in mythdora?
[01:51:39] njcnjcnjc: yes
[01:51:47] njcnjcnjc: everything works for mythtv
[01:51:56] njcnjcnjc: no problems, just wireless problems
[01:52:02] njcnjcnjc: what distro do you use?
[01:52:17] psm321: i use gentoo
[01:52:27] psm321: but its not necessarily optimal, i just like it :)
[01:52:39] njcnjcnjc: I am going to reinstall Fedora 9 again this weekend and try again
[01:53:02] njcnjcnjc: I will try to compile my own version this time
[01:53:02] psm321: or you could try to fix your wireless in mythdora :)
[01:53:09] njcnjcnjc: :)
[01:53:13] njcnjcnjc: wish it was that easy
[01:53:28] njcnjcnjc: updating to the right kernel breaks mythdora
[01:53:35] psm321: ah
[01:53:40] njcnjcnjc: ya
[01:53:47] njcnjcnjc: it is touchy
[01:54:23] njcnjcnjc: psm321 thanks for your help, do you have more then on TV card installed?
[01:54:36] psm321: yeah
[01:54:38] njcnjcnjc: I am thinking of adding another Happuage 150
[01:54:42] psm321: 3 cards, 5 tuners
[01:54:52] njcnjcnjc: really
[01:55:03] psm321: i'd just go for a 500, its not that much more and you get 2 tuners
[01:55:12] njcnjcnjc: oh
[01:55:17] psm321: you need to watch out for the tuner type though
[01:55:29] mkrufky: samsung problem isnt fixed yet?!?
[01:55:37] njcnjcnjc: ok
[01:55:48] psm321: each card in the line has its own share of problems... you need to do research before you buy :)
[01:55:51] iamlindoro: I say buy two HD-PVRs :)
[01:56:03] mkrufky: now you can 8-)
[01:56:20] psm321: mkrufky: i dunno, it might be... i found no concrete info on that (other than hauppauge's claims) and i dont want to risk it
[01:56:35] iamlindoro: mkrufky: Unbox porn! http://gallery.mac.com/r.mcnamara#100129
[01:56:47] mkrufky: what's the problem, exactly? i will look for one of those boards and give it a test (if i remember)
[01:57:07] mkrufky: iamlindoro: hooot
[01:57:10] iamlindoro: I am 99% certain the Samsung issue is long since fixed
[01:57:18] psm321: mkrufky: especially when i can get the phillips tuners for the same price if i'm willing to wait a little for the right ebay auction to come up (this last time i was lucky and caught one just as it was listed and got a good deal)
[01:57:32] mkrufky: how long is the component cable, iamlindoro?
[01:57:44] mkrufky: i thought it was fixed over a year ago
[01:57:46] iamlindoro: mkrufky: about 50 feet longer than I need?
[01:57:52] mkrufky: hehe
[01:57:54] Dagmar: lol
[01:57:55] mkrufky: better off that way
[01:58:11] mkrufky: i dropped my jaw when i saw somebody carrying that cable around today
[01:58:18] iamlindoro: hehe
[01:58:40] psm321: plus i've heard varying interpretations of whether its fixed in newer hardware or fixed in all hardware in drivers (and reports that just the one driver tweak that turned on the amp didnt fix things for many people)
[01:58:47] iamlindoro: Now if only someone could solve janneg's riddle :)
[01:59:36] mkrufky: psm321: its a different issue between the pvr500 and the nova-td
[01:59:58] mkrufky: psm321: the lna issue with nova-td .... i hear that one is still annoying
[02:00:11] mkrufky: but thats only on one rev of the nova-td, i think
[02:00:18] psm321: there was an lna issue for the samsung tuners on pvr500 too
[02:00:23] mkrufky: but i believe that the issue on the pvr500 was 100% fixed ... i THINK
[02:00:32] psm321: iamlindoro: what is that?
[02:00:32] squish102: njcnjcnjc have u tried mythbuntu?
[02:00:46] iamlindoro: psm321: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html
[02:00:50] mkrufky: yeah, i think the issue on the nova-td was because there was 1 single LNA for both tuners
[02:01:04] mkrufky: and it was not as big an issue on the pvr500, because each tuner had its own lna
[02:01:23] squish102: njcnjcnjc, i had less problems with mythbuntu than I had with mythdora... problem with mythdora, is updating tends to break it and never had that problem with mythbuntu
[02:01:48] njcnjcnjc: squish102 – no I have not
[02:01:51] mkrufky: the prob on nova-td was that if one tuner is on a weak freq, and the other on a strong freq, that you will either crank up the amp and wash out the strong channel, or leave the amp off and have bad signal on the weak channel
[02:02:18] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Oh wow... It looks like what I read was correct.
[02:02:22] mkrufky: that would NOT be an issue if using diversity mode ... but i dont think we support diversity in linux
[02:02:31] iamlindoro: Dagmar: re: memory multiplier?
[02:02:43] Dagmar: If you want DDR2–800 to run *at 800* like it's meant to, your clock speed has to be an even multiple of 400
[02:02:44] njcnjcnjc: Been using Fedora since Fedora 1 and found mythdora 4
[02:03:04] njcnjcnjc: is the support in Ubuntu for Wireless better?
[02:03:27] Dagmar: The AM2 memory controller only supports integer memory divisors
[02:03:29] iamlindoro: Ubuntu's wireless is only as good as wireless in general on linux-- but it's improved in leaps and bounds
[02:03:34] squish102: njcnjcnjc, no idea, just thought it was a better package than mythdora
[02:03:43] Dagmar: Actually s/The AM2/AMD/;
[02:04:02] iamlindoro: Dagmar: Ah, interesting, guess I didn't know that
[02:04:34] squish102: and my myth installation has stabalized. when running mythdora i could not update and when i did, i normally broke something in myth
[02:05:48] njcnjcnjc: squish102, I have the same problem
[02:05:57] njcnjcnjc: it does not update the packages correctly
[02:06:11] njcnjcnjc: misses important packages like kernel mods
[02:06:43] iamlindoro: mkrufky: Mark my words, someone is going to shove in a component cable and snap off the connectors
[02:07:07] mkrufky: i'd say "i told you so" ... but i didnt tell you so
[02:07:19] iamlindoro: :)
[02:07:23] mkrufky: i told {somebody else} so!
[02:07:33] mkrufky: nobody listens to the new guy ;-)
[02:07:37] iamlindoro: Heh, glad to know I'm not the only one to think so then!
[02:07:54] mkrufky: now go look at the photo for the hvr1950
[02:08:02] mkrufky: good thing they include the cables in that one, too

[02:08:39] mkrufky: ... oh, wait... you meant snap off the connectors OF THE CABLES, right? not the device itself — those connectors are on there good
[02:09:02] iamlindoro: mkrufky: I mean snap the connectors on the device *in* to the case
[02:09:15] iamlindoro: because they flex backwards about 15 degrees as you push in the cable
[02:09:52] mkrufky: hmm
[02:10:12] mkrufky: i kinda gave mine a beating and it never snapped
[02:10:19] iamlindoro: At least... here they do :)
[02:10:19] mkrufky: (dont try it at home, kids)
[02:10:29] iamlindoro: Well, I plan on it being "set it and forget it" here
[02:10:40] iamlindoro: so those cables may *never* come out

[02:15:37] iamlindoro: Am thinking of an overhaul-- currently getting all the Network channels via QAM out of simplicity, but I think I may retask one of my ATSC tuners to OTA so I can get higher-bitrate recordings of those few channels
[02:16:30] iamlindoro: Last episode of LOST via QAM was 2.8 GB after commercial cuts... less than ever. That's my motivation
[02:16:44] KraMer___ (KraMer___!n=mark@adsl-70-240-195-142.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:16:45] |Torg|: wow mine usualy top 8G
[02:17:18] califdreas: you mean the 2-hour-episode?
[02:17:19] |Torg|: I tired a few times to encoide without commericals, saves maybe 500M
[02:17:26] iamlindoro: Yup, They've pretty reliably been 4–6 GB but I've seen that shrink down as Comcast crams in more channels-- time to go back to OTA for those network channels
[02:17:27] |Torg|: no I mena a 1 hour
[02:17:55] iamlindoro: califdreas: You know what, you're right, I'm thinking of the one before this last one
[02:18:03] iamlindoro: two weeks back
[02:18:27] KraMer___ is now known as KraMer
[02:18:40] califdreas: still kind of bandwith-starved, me thinks.
[02:18:55] iamlindoro: califdreas: Just checked.. the 2 hours episode was.. are you ready for this...
[02:18:56] iamlindoro: 5.4 GB
[02:19:06] clever: and i thought 1.1gig/hour was alot
[02:19:09] |Torg|: Lost – Something Nice Back Home is 58 mins and 7.2G
[02:19:14] iamlindoro: No transcode, no nothing... and that's HD via QAM
[02:19:30] iamlindoro: So ewwwwwwww
[02:19:36] iamlindoro: time to rig up the antenna :)
[02:19:44] clever: 1.2gig SD
[02:20:08] Dagmar: Hm... I wonder if this upgrade is going to halve my memcache access speeds
[02:20:20] Dagmar: That might be a nice side effect
[02:20:23] |Torg|: ATSC runs from 6–8GB/hr
[02:20:26] califdreas: kinda strange. I have comcast, and the "ota" channels lika abc, nbc, and so on are usually ca. 6gb/hour
[02:20:43] iamlindoro: califdreas: Yep, but you can never tell, it will vary wildly by headend
[02:20:58] |Torg|: Law and ORder is 6.6GB thats 1 hour
[02:21:03] clever: 2008-06–02 23:20:53.277 Reconnection to backend server failed
[02:21:04] clever: QMutex::lock: Deadlock detected in thread -1260026176
[02:21:10] |Torg|: but I also have eppisaodes that are 7.4GB
[02:21:46] iamlindoro: I will still have to use QAM for NBC, though, I'm in a hill's shadow and can't point at that broadcast tower
[02:22:02] iamlindoro: Thankfully I only really watch Chuck on NBC and that's gone for now

[02:23:21] iamlindoro: |Torg|: Think people might notice if I raised it the ten stories it would likely need to be raised
[02:23:38] califdreas: there was a time when cable had always better quality than ota and even sat tv.
[02:27:19] iamlindoro: Alas...
[02:28:20] iamlindoro: I have a really nice TERK antenna that I lent to my parents, though, think I
[02:28:23] iamlindoro: I'll get that back from them
[02:28:41] mkrufky: OMG that sucks
[02:28:46] mkrufky: (delayed reaction)
[02:28:51] mkrufky: my LOST finale was 5.8 GB
[02:29:08] mkrufky: (after commercial removal)
[02:29:10] iamlindoro: mkrufky: Heh, yeah-- notable visually, too
[02:29:20] mkrufky: wow... time warner doesnt do that to us
[02:29:27] mkrufky: i would be soooo pissed off
[02:30:07] iamlindoro: mkrufky: Yep, but good motivation to get back to OTA for network channels, which I had been intending to do anyway-- nothing like the motivation of necessity
[02:31:18] mkrufky: i'm keeping VSB around as a last resort ... i hope to never have to use it
[02:31:32] mkrufky: i *only* use vsb for testing
[02:31:56] iamlindoro: mkrufky: What's the resistance? Kinda nice to have nice fat bitrate.
[02:32:10] iamlindoro: depending on local broadcasters, of course
[02:32:36] iamlindoro: Presuming you have an extra ATSC tuner, that is. I happen to have one unoccupied right now, so it just makes sense
[02:32:52] mkrufky: well, depending on which device im using, just having a car drive down my street could frac up the reception
[02:33:08] mkrufky: then again.... if i was REALLY using vsb, i'd install a roof-top aerial
[02:33:09] califdreas: someone told me that the xc5000 receiver is real good for ota, so i got a pinnacle 800i, kust in case :)
[02:33:18] |Torg|: mine depend on weather and you can forget about getting most staitosn duing the day
[02:33:28] mkrufky: xc5000 is impeccable for OTA
[02:33:35] mkrufky: i use that as my litmus test
[02:33:42] mkrufky: (hvr950q has one)
[02:33:58] califdreas: litmus==lackmus?
[02:34:25] califdreas: the thing with alkali and acid?
[02:34:51] mkrufky: ...in english:
[02:34:54] iamlindoro: califdreas: It this sense it means as the "gold standard"
[02:35:08] squish102: does any1 know if timewarner, when all channels have to go digital, well send the current analog channels via QAM unencrypted?
[02:35:26] mkrufky: i use my device with the xc5000 to make sure that i can actually get a signal, before i start banging my head against the table, wondering why my driver XYZ isnt picking anything up
[02:35:37] iamlindoro: squish102: analog TV isn't QAM
[02:35:41] mkrufky: does that clarify, califdreas ?
[02:35:46] califdreas: lol. OK, i got it now :))
[02:35:49] mkrufky: ;-)
[02:36:13] iamlindoro: squish102: And cable companies don't have to go digital next year, the regulations affect broadcast (OTA) only
[02:36:36] iamlindoro: squish102: Ah, wait, I just rethought what you meant by your question
[02:36:39] squish102: oh, so i am going to have to keep my pvr150 connected
[02:37:22] iamlindoro: squish102: Cable companies are obliged to provide *some* analog support until 2012... but they're not told how much, and after that you can pretty much expect no more than locals via QAM
[02:37:33] squish102: i was hoping to be able to only have HD tuners in and still pick up some of the analog channels i get today
[02:37:36] iamlindoro: unencrypted, that is
[02:38:00] |Torg|: I thought the FC mandated that all local bordcast be ent unencrypted
[02:38:01] iamlindoro: squish102: As it stands, they won't have to give you anything but locals unencrypted-- and they're likely to take advantage of that fact
[02:38:01] mkrufky: via *clear* qam, you mean?
[02:38:19] squish102: yip
[02:39:25] AcTiVaTe (AcTiVaTe!n=activate@d594eeda.static.dsl.concepts.nl) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:39:35] iamlindoro: squish102: I presume you are like most and get 80 or so channels w/ your PVR-150 straight out of the wall?
[02:40:20] mkrufky: sorry for this commercial... but just for the sake of completeness, i have to say the the hcr1500q also uses an xc5000 ;-)
[02:40:34] mkrufky: hvr1500q i mean
[02:41:27] iamlindoro: squish102: If so, then yeah... the cable companies have to provide *something* via analog until 2012, but expect to see that number of 80 or so shrink drastically between now and then, and when it's all digital after that, expect that the only thing you will get is local and network TV. ie, after the cable all-digital cutover, you are unlikely to have the same 80 or so channels that you have via analog right now.
[02:41:49] califdreas: mkrufky: you have a curiosly good understanding of a certain vendor's products. ;)
[02:42:28] mkrufky: i might SEEM to know a lot about hauppauge
[02:42:34] mkrufky: but i know a lot about the other vendors too
[02:42:41] mkrufky: i own almost every atsc/qam card there is
[02:42:46] iamlindoro: Like DViCO!
[02:42:51] mkrufky: i even bought one of those Kworld 340u usb sticks
[02:42:56] |Torg|: mkrufky is just smart that way :)
[02:43:03] mkrufky: (it died the first day i played with it)
[02:43:16] califdreas: |Torg|: no kidding!
[02:43:17] mkrufky: luckily i bought it from newegg — they're supposed to be good about RMAs
[02:43:23] iamlindoro: stop playing so rough with your toys
[02:43:31] Dagmar: Pssht.
[02:43:32] mkrufky: i kinda got obsessed with this stuff a few years ago
[02:43:40] mkrufky: back then i worked for a medical transcription company
[02:43:46] mkrufky: .... was kinda bored there i guess
[02:43:52] Dagmar: Comcast here has already taken G4 out of the analog lineup and used it's transition to digital only as a reason to push people to upgrade
[02:44:06] Dagmar: Granted, it's not like G4 is worth watching anymore, but it's still lame.
[02:44:37] califdreas: and froogle still comes up empty for the hvr950q. Is it perhaps not yet publicly available?
[02:44:49] Dagmar: I would love a chance to slap the management at Comcast around for them broadcasting something like "Hurl" at all, let alone on G4..
[02:44:58] iamlindoro: califdreas: try dropping the Q and adding a dash, HVR-950
[02:45:08] mkrufky: no!
[02:45:12] mkrufky: iamlindoro no you're wrong
[02:45:18] Dagmar: It's more out of place on G4 than The Man Show, even though I didn't think such a thing were possible.
[02:45:19] iamlindoro: mkrufky: I know he wants the Q
[02:45:27] mkrufky: HVR950 != HVR950Q
[02:45:31] iamlindoro: mkrufky: Just saying he may get results from a search this way
[02:45:34] iamlindoro: I knowwwwwwwwwww
[02:45:39] ** mkrufky chills **
[02:46:12] califdreas: okay, maybe i should start at hauppauge's website. duh ;)
[02:46:46] mkrufky: califdreas: u lookin for a usb stick or a PCI / PCIe card?
[02:47:32] califdreas: actually, i just got a new (used) mainboard with an available pcie-slot
[02:49:31] mkrufky: ok, well for PCIe, i kinda think the hvr1800 is one of the coolest cards you can get
[02:49:52] mkrufky: it has 2 tuners ... atsc/qam on one, and analog hardware mpeg encoder on the other
[02:49:58] ** iamlindoro wonders when we'll see 2250s **
[02:50:01] mkrufky: and its all supported in linux
[02:50:12] mkrufky: er.... i dunno when ull see those
[02:50:22] |Torg|: the 2250 isnt suuported in linux afaik
[02:50:38] iamlindoro: |Torg|: 2250s aren't in public
[02:50:50] squish102: iamlindoro, that is exactly the news i did *NOT* want to hear ;)
[02:50:51] |Torg|: yes I know, I checks the site this morning
[02:51:00] iamlindoro: squish102: Whichnow?
[02:51:15] squish102: the 80 channels not being available on digital
[02:51:22] iamlindoro: squish102: ah, yup
[02:51:32] ** squish102 a little slow tonight **
[02:51:33] iamlindoro: barring FCC intervention
[02:51:49] iamlindoro: which, if you'll look at our currently situation, is about as likely as the second coming
[02:51:52] iamlindoro: er current
[02:52:22] squish102: yip, im not holding my breath
[02:52:45] Dagmar: sadness
[02:52:54] squish102: i guess i will have a smaller list of channels to watch, and a cheaper cable bill
[02:52:58] iamlindoro: ergo HD-PVRs for all!
[02:53:08] califdreas: when I called comcast to ask about hd packages and a firewire-capable box, i got a first-class runaround.
[02:53:09] Dagmar: squish: Well, one of those assumptions will be correct
[02:53:14] iamlindoro: thus spake iamlindoro, and it was so
[02:53:31] Dagmar: The other one is just silly.
[02:53:58] ** iamlindoro feels the top of his HD-PVR and realizes stacking them is a pipe dream **
[02:54:16] mkrufky: you can unscrew the feet
[02:54:29] Dagmar: That way they will melt together nice and even
[02:54:30] iamlindoro: mkrufky: talking about the temperature :)
[02:54:35] clever: lol
[02:54:42] mkrufky: oof
[02:54:45] iamlindoro: ok, I can stack them, but I'd like them to work after that
[02:54:56] squish102: well i currently have to pay for 100's of digital channels to get a DVR. once i get remote working for mythtv, i will at least be saving on that cost
[02:55:02] Speedy2: califdreas: All HD cable boxes are required to have firewire.
[02:55:03] Dagmar: I'm thikning the first thing I'm going to do when/if I get mine is to open it, and drill about 100 holes in the case for ventilation.
[02:55:23] mkrufky: i dont remember mine getting hot
[02:55:25] Dagmar: Speedy2: What they're not required to do is make is useable
[02:55:29] mkrufky: ive actually never used it inside the plastics
[02:55:38] mkrufky: ok, thats it... i'll find a windows box now
[02:55:41] ** mkrufky looks **
[02:55:44] califdreas: Speedy2: i know that, comcast knows that, but they still like to give you a hard time.
[02:55:46] Speedy2: Dagmar: It's a violation if they don't work
[02:55:58] Dagmar: They'll "work" but they've got the "5C" bit thing going on.
[02:56:02] iamlindoro: There are varying degrees of working :)
[02:56:04] Speedy2: Yeah
[02:56:09] Dagmar: So unless you *bought* a PVR at the store, you're not getting video out of them
[02:58:22] califdreas: i did not even ask about 5c, just if firewire was enabled. After talking to three different departments and then finally getting connected to the first person I talked to, I gave up.

[03:04:05] kormoc: HDCP can 'require' component to be downsampled to 720p, but it's still hd
[03:04:08] iamlindoro: ie HDMI->Component conversion
[03:04:09] mkrufky: that would be a crime — for the cable companies to stop making my HDTV with only component inputs work

[03:04:29] kormoc: mkrufky, not really
[03:04:31] Dagmar: The monopolists seem to have gotten around it by managing to get protections included in hardware that encodes component video.
[03:04:35] mkrufky: those frackers
[03:05:09] iamlindoro: mkrufky: I have every intention of buying the HDMI->Component+HDCP stripping hardware proactively before such things disappear/are sued out of existence
[03:05:19] Dagmar: mkrufky: I don't know about you, but when I throw my STB back in their front window would certainly be viewed as a crime
[03:06:10] Dagmar: Around here about the only way to stop such nonsense is to show up en-masse at the state congressional facilities
[03:06:15] califdreas: lol. you guys have some strong opinions about it.
[03:06:38] Dagmar: califdreams: Because with new hardware is actually coming *increasingly less functionality and utility*
[03:06:50] iamlindoro: + a higher bill
[03:07:08] Dagmar: Like, who do you know who has an STB that didn't get a firmware "update" that isn't showing them ads or is at least significantly slower if not both?
[03:07:20] mkrufky: i didnt
[03:07:31] Dagmar: The firewire port was SUPPOSED to allow anyone who has HD service to get the image over firewire
[03:07:40] mkrufky: showing you ads ?!?
[03:07:49] MrMunkily: you mean an STB PVR, right? regular STBs don't have ads, right?
[03:07:58] Dagmar: ...however, the monopolists have submarined that with protection bits and you can NOT find equipment without it now.
[03:08:13] Dagmar: So basically, any consumer PVR you get isn't going to let you make backups or copies for the most part.
[03:08:17] iamlindoro: MrMunkily: They do when you use the guide
[03:08:24] Dagmar: MrMunkily: I'm very specific in what I say.
[03:08:27] dustybin: another cool thing i found out today is: https://www.opendns.com <-- very handy indeed
[03:08:33] Dagmar: I do mean STBs with *ads* on the program guide

[03:08:46] Dagmar: califdreams: Whose rights tho?
[03:08:52] mkrufky: Dagmar: you're right... and that's why *I* like the linux make-it-yourself DVR
[03:08:57] mkrufky: er... mythtv
[03:08:58] MrMunkily: I have not heard of that. That is very disappointing.
[03:09:02] Dagmar: *We* as consumers are actually supposed to have some "Fair Use" rights.
[03:09:15] Dagmar: We can apparently have them, but only if we're smart and skilled enough to _break the copy protection_
[03:09:58] Dagmar: ...and by "we" I mean "we" as individuals.
[03:09:58] califdreas: Dagmar: yeah well, not my rights.
[03:10:11] MrMunkily: And all these protections only increase difficulty for legit usage by paying customers.
[03:10:22] Dagmar: Any group of people banding together, or gods forbid, a COMPANY making a product to make it easier, can be expected to be sued right into oblivion.
[03:10:52] Dagmar: MrMunkily: oh no... They'll tell you it's much easier now since you can actually buy an off-the-shelf PVR.
[03:10:58] Dagmar: You just have no control over it
[03:11:34] MrMunkily: Ha! tell that to the people wanting to use freesat without HDMI inputs...
[03:11:48] Dagmar: Somehow, something *not* existing in the marketplace before as opposed to actually existing now qualifies as "easier"
[03:13:03] Dagmar: I fully expect that if there weren't more visible issues with gas company vertical integration, the MPAA and some major labels would be getting investigated for anticompetitive practices, because this "5C" stuff sure as hell fits the defintion of "monopoly"
[03:13:31] Dagmar: I'ma ctually expecting "tortuous interference" to happen first
[03:13:50] Dagmar: ...but I guess it depends on how brazen MediaDefender continues to be.

[03:24:01] Dagmar: A DOS attack *may* be illegal under the Economic Espionage act, but in this instance wasn't.
[03:24:28] Dagmar: However, it was very, very, VERY much illegal according to multiple parts of USC Section 18, 1030.

[03:30:12] |Torg|: Personally I think they should have to pay fins equiviolent to 10x the annual revenew of itslef and all companies that pay mediadefender to do this
[03:30:32] Dagmar: They can already be fined based on what they've been getting from the MPAA.  :)
[03:30:37] |Torg|: something along attaching the personal assets of the executives would be nice as well
[03:30:54] Dagmar: Being paid to do what they did is a separate and even sterner part of 18, 1030.
[03:31:12] Dagmar: No, I think the CEO should be getting jail time.

[04:19:13] Dagmar: I picked the matte finish one because I *knew* I'd be polishing fingerprints off it six days a week
[04:19:27] wagner: well ive got my PDA and phone which i clean religiously, but ive never really used a large touchscreen
[04:19:36] Dagmar: RyeBrye: Maybe 2.4Ghz dual core or higher. Aim for 3
[04:20:01] RyeBrye: Gotcha. I take it a video card wont really be much of a factor – since the drivers for linux don't help with hd, right?
[04:20:08] wagner: ryebrye: are you ATSC or DVB? do you want to play BR videos?

[04:20:18] RyeBrye: BR videos – yes – but I'll probably get a PS3 for that
[04:20:23] Dagmar: For SD content you can just about use a freaking 800Mhz CPU
[04:20:38] RyeBrye: ATSC / probably using a H.264 from the HD PVR

[04:21:25] wagner: DVB and HD-PVR can be a problem, since they can be h264
[04:21:29] Dagmar: MrMunkly: At hte moment, no
[04:21:36] RyeBrye: Yeah. I'm targeting H.264 playback
[04:21:41] wagner: but any dual core proc should have no problem
[04:21:52] Dagmar: RyeBrye: Yeah, that's what's gotten me started on this mad researching spree
[04:22:10] Dagmar: If I buuy a HD-PVR, I won't be able to ignore/postpone dealing with the H.264 playback issue
[04:22:11] RyeBrye: Yeah... The HD-PVR should be renamed "The hardware upgrader" :)
[04:22:35] RyeBrye: Yep... My current frontend is fine for SD – but I'm sick of having to choose between time shifting / watching HD
[04:22:46] wagner: a low end core2 (1.86GHz) is near its limits at ~20mbps h264
[04:22:59] Dagmar: Oof. I think tis' time I looked for second opinion power supply calculators
[04:23:02] wagner: thats plenty for DVB broadcast, and the HDPVR
[04:23:15] wagner: but BR video can be double that bitrate
[04:23:26] Dagmar: Ask NewEgg for 80%+ certified power supplies of 500W or more and they START at $100
[04:23:36] RyeBrye: My laptop could handle the h264 playback easily – it's a 2.33 GHz core 2 duo macbook pro machine...
[04:23:49] RyeBrye: of course... it also has hardware acceleration avialable to do it
[04:23:56] Dagmar: That's almost enough to warrant selling the two 250G drives and buying a 500Gb drive just to get the power consumption down another 25W
[04:24:00] wagner: h264 playback of what?
[04:24:06] RyeBrye: sorry of HD stuff
[04:24:17] wagner: of what specifically
[04:24:36] wagner: stuff downloaded off the internet is usually 4–8mbit

[04:38:59] MrMunkily: It was too big for me to squeeze in the Ira-3's board that I'm using
[04:39:37] MrMunkily: I could conceivable have desoldered the photodiode and made a little cable for it... snaked it in there... I'm not so resourceful though.
[04:40:05] MrMunkily: I have no idea if that's even a thing you can do with a photodiode.
[04:40:56] RyeBrye: What cpu should I be looking at? Core 2 Duo? AMD? Xeon?
[04:41:10] wagner: c2d
[04:41:12] MrMunkily: I think the consensus is C2D.
[04:43:11] wagner: you should be able to just tap the photodiode, and wire it to your serial board
[04:43:42] wagner: just heat up the solder thats already there, and connect two new wires to it
[04:43:49] RyeBrye: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx? . . . 2f+HTPC+Case
[04:43:57] wagner: you can leave the existing board just as it is
[04:43:58] iamlindoro___: Nice link
[04:44:03] RyeBrye: That case would be pretty nice – if it didn't look like it was saying "Mozart Sex" on it
[04:44:08] RyeBrye: Yeah... should have tiny-urled it... sorry
[04:44:21] iamlindoro___: RyeBrye: I've seen it in person, it looks *awful*
[04:44:24] RyeBrye: http://tinyurl.com/43kzcb
[04:44:34] RyeBrye: I just can't get over "Mozart Sex"
[04:44:37] iamlindoro___: It's all plastic, not metal like it looks
[04:44:44] MrMunkily: hahaha
[04:45:03] RyeBrye: It's a promising design – but good to know that it is trash
[04:45:30] wagner: i dont know why, but i have an aversion to thermaltake in general
[04:45:39] RyeBrye: A guy I work with loves thermaltake for some erason
[04:45:42] wagner: its not based on any reason, i just dont like them

[04:51:09] RyeBrye: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163104 that case looks awesome... but I don't need micro form factor... (or rather – I don't want to pay the extra money for it)
[04:52:56] RyeBrye: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163080 <-- WTF is up with that gaping hole in the front?
[04:52:57] RyeBrye: "There's a seat of honor for your Western Digital RaptorX drive in the front window panel"
[04:53:07] RyeBrye: Umm... So they put a hole in the front so you can show off your HDD?
[04:54:43] wagner: yeah, i know when i look at my home theater system, i want to see a spinning hard drive
[04:55:08] RyeBrye: Also, I can't imagine a scenario when I would be bragging about buying a Western-Digital drive
[04:56:11] wagner: raptors are just too mainstream
[04:56:53] wagner: "oh, so you bought a fast, noisy, hot raptor, and then put it in your previously quiet HTPC?"
[04:57:16] wagner: SAS or SCSI should be a minimum for bragging rights
[04:57:36] RyeBrye: a big SSD would get my attention
[04:57:39] wagner: but people who buy those have no intention of bragging...
[04:57:47] MrMunkily: Mythtv is bragging rights enough for me.
[04:58:12] wagner: so they make 3.5" SSDs? or would you end up showing off the drive adapter as well?
[04:58:46] RyeBrye: http://www.lenscomputers.com/66000088246.html . . . nnelid=FROOG
[04:58:48] RyeBrye: There's one
[04:58:54] RyeBrye: that I think is a tad overpriced :)
[05:00:00] MrMunkily: Write speeds to SSDs are real slow, right?
[05:00:06] iamlindoro___: I say put as much as you can in the closet, run all the cabling through the walls, and terminate in sexy wall plates... but that's because it's what I do :)
[05:00:23] wagner: theyre slow-er, but still in the tens of MB/s
[05:00:43] MrMunkily: Don't they have a limited number of write-cycles?
[05:00:55] RyeBrye: I think they do
[05:01:02] wagner: yes, usually somewhere around 100000 on a single cell
[05:01:12] iamlindoro___: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html
[05:01:19] wagner: but the drives have algorithms to balance the write cycles
[05:01:27] kormoc: SSD isn't /that/ slow write speed
[05:01:35] kormoc: the missing latency does help a lot
[05:01:40] kormoc: (seek times)
[05:02:01] iamlindoro___: And they are not plagued by the rewrite failures of compact flash
[05:02:26] wagner: SSDs are good for power only
[05:02:36] wagner: low latency is nice, but you can do much the same with memory caching
[05:02:48] wagner: and they dont do enough to make the cost worth it
[05:02:59] kormoc: depends
[05:03:01] wagner: if you want performance, better to go with a 15K SAS
[05:03:11] kormoc: my macbook's battery life went way up with a SSD
[05:03:35] wagner: like i said, theyre only good for power
[05:03:38] kormoc: and performance was much nicer then the crappy 5.4k rpm drive :)
[05:03:46] iamlindoro___: And silence...
[05:04:11] iamlindoro___: and lack of moving parts for high impact situations
[05:04:43] wagner: accelerometers take care of high impact for you
[05:04:50] iamlindoro___: haha, you hope/wish
[05:04:58] wagner: as soon as gravity disappears, the drives park and brace for impact
[05:05:09] iamlindoro___: If you think that's foolproof, you've got another thing coming
[05:05:20] iamlindoro___: That's an insurance policy, nothing more
[05:05:34] wagner: i dont think its foolproof, but i would be more concerned about the LCD
[05:06:07] iamlindoro___: the people who care about toughbook-type scenarios care more about recovering their data, an LCD they can replace
[05:06:42] kormoc: easier to solder a dismounted chip then remove a gouge from the disk platters :)

[05:08:25] kormoc: wagner, given a few years and a few million dollars... sure...

[05:14:46] MrMunkily: While I work on elements... I'll start with the OSD as far as something functional. I think the barrier to entry is... much... lower than the rest of myth.
[05:16:43] Dagmar: I'll be damned
[05:16:55] Dagmar: It *probably* won't make justinh scream and claw at his eyes.
[05:17:02] Dagmar: This is a good thing.
[05:17:28] Dagmar: s'actually pretty nuce kiijubg
[05:17:46] Dagmar: Wow I should watch the screen when I type. s'actually pretty nice looking.
[05:17:51] MrMunkily: Hahaha... I hope so. I don't want to make him cry.
[05:18:10] Dagmar: You really would not believe some of the hideous, eye-watering blasphemies we've seen
[05:18:15] MrMunkily: I know
[05:18:31] Dagmar: Like, pink and orange and day-glo green maple leaves for backgrounds and stuff
[05:18:36] MrMunkily: I'm new to the channel but I looked for themes for a long long time
[05:18:54] MrMunkily: Anyhow it's not all original
[05:19:04] Dagmar: Yeah it seems there's this wide area with people who have artistic talent at one end, and people who can deal with XML at the other.
[05:19:28] MrMunkily: Well. I cannot yet deal with XML. but. one can hope that I'll learn.
[05:19:39] Dagmar: ...and the "good at XML" side tends to be in the negative-space of aethetic-sense.
[05:19:54] Dagmar: ...or quite possibly some people just suck really hard at both things.
[05:20:20] MrMunkily: I wonder where a good place to begin learning is... I've been tearing apart themes but I find it hard to understand their overall structure.
[05:20:26] Dagmar: I can deal with the SML for about two hours, maybe three before I have to go do something else
[05:20:32] Dagmar: s/SML/XML/;

[05:21:12] Dagmar: Right now it's still in the "ransom note" phase
[05:21:16] Dagmar: Yes.
[05:21:20] Dagmar: Un momento
[05:21:35] Dagmar: Me buying a widescreen display threw everything all to hell
[05:21:41] wagner: the use of LCARS in mythtv would solidify your standing as a complete geek

[05:22:51] MrMunkily: Haha! I know it from Qt themes! I swear that's the only reason, your honor!
[05:23:06] Dagmar: I just about have the music player bits working properly again
[05:23:37] Dagmar: MrMunkily: Sadly, LCARS is one of those things that attracts people with nearly zero sense of aesthetics or visual proportions
[05:23:50] wagner: heh, yeah
[05:24:06] Dagmar: I've probably got more details about how collectively LCARS is "supposed" to look in my notes leading up to doing this than the sites that purport to have template standards up
[05:24:08] wagner: i was going to say that those images are the most hideous color scheme ive ever seen
[05:24:16] MrMunkily: Wow, that's actually looking rather nice...

[05:24:42] Dagmar: Ask me to draw a flower tho and you might be able to recognize it
[05:24:45] MrMunkily: What's with the "this is buggered?"
[05:24:58] Dagmar: The OSD and the way it gets displayed *really* pisses me off
[05:25:12] Dagmar: It gets rescaled pretty much no matter what you do
[05:25:20] Dagmar: Those bars *should* all have completely crisp edges.
[05:25:33] Dagmar: Yet they don't because of the way the OSD gets rescaled.
[05:25:55] Dagmar: The all-caps "THIS IS BUGGERED" was also partly because of the damn font.
[05:26:13] Dagmar: That LCARS font that's floating around has absolutely mentally deficient glyph spacing
[05:26:17] MrMunkily: That will be less of a detriment to me...
[05:26:18] wagner: the mythmusic screen actually looks halfway functional though
[05:26:35] califdreas: ah, you are using a stng font, i gather?
[05:26:47] Dagmar: ..and I can see no sane reason why the decending and ascending curves on S's C's G's and so forth have to go *farther out* that any other letters.
[05:26:50] Dagmar: It looks ugly.
[05:27:01] Dagmar: So I took a couple hours and rekerned and respaced the entire goddamn font.
[05:27:17] MrMunkily: with what? fontforge? hardcore.
[05:27:25] Dagmar: Yes.
[05:28:28] MrMunkily: So the thing I'm doing is based real loosely of this GTK theme I used for a while before deciding it was impractical for a desktop.
[05:28:41] MrMunkily: But perfect for a media center interface

[05:30:13] Dagmar: Heh.
[05:30:38] Dagmar: Someone finally ripped both Vista's Aero and Mac's Aqua simultaneously, but at least it does look okay
[05:31:08] MrMunkily: Inkscape's new filters are a real boon. Can't imagine doing any of this in GIMP, and faking blurs with gradients would take forever.
[05:31:10] Dagmar: that's one of the more useable "dark" themes I've seen tho. I'll have to bookmark that
[05:31:20] Dagmar: Yeah I love me some Inkscape
[05:31:34] Dagmar: I am a wee bit pissed off that I have misplaced the perl script I was using for theme development
[05:32:16] Dagmar: Since SVG is XML, it's pretty trivial to use XML::Simple to suck up an SVG image file, then rummage through it looking for names assigned to objects and diddle them into a format readable by Myth
[05:32:30] MrMunkily: Man it's like you read my mind
[05:32:40] MrMunkily: I'm thinking of having the whole theme hue-shiftable with a "build" script
[05:33:00] MrMunkily: with PNGs rendered from the svg source @ "build" time
[05:33:12] Dagmar: You could do that with sed pretty easily... Well, sed and imagemagick
[05:33:18] MrMunkily: maybe a little over ambitious for someone without even a single screen working yet though.
[05:33:34] Dagmar: Getting the overall images looking proper is the hard part
[05:33:40] MrMunkily: indeed.
[05:33:43] MrMunkily: I can has python, shell but not perl.
[05:33:45] Dagmar: Converting the stuff to "machine-useable" form is pretty easy
[05:33:59] Dagmar: ...it's just tedious.
[05:34:47] MrMunkily: What we really need is a dancing penguin on the menu screen. That just screams class-ey
[05:34:58] Dagmar: Hah. Look at Mepo
[05:35:14] MrMunkily: I run mepo. I just disable the animation.
[05:35:31] kormoc: The ladies find MePo amazingly cute
[05:35:33] Dagmar: One word of warning... done incorrectly, the animation can consume OMG levels of resources
[05:35:48] kormoc: if only they thought I was 1/10th as cute...
[05:36:02] Dagmar: Just put on a neoprene suit and makeup
[05:36:03] MrMunkily: Learned that firsthand. Hence disabling of animation on my box.
[05:38:03] MrMunkily: I wonder if it's possible to do... tasteful animation at this (or next) stage – perhaps sliding highlight boxes, fading in/out of watermarks... You know, Apple stuff :)
[05:40:43] Dagmar: woot good luck. time for me to leave the office
[05:41:00] RyeBrye: Isn't that the kind of stuff that should be easier in QT4?

[15:23:58] gustave: janneg: strange that. Anyone working on Myth Integration? You cant do it all.
[15:24:04] hatchmt: VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'xvmc-blit' not av

[15:25:32] hatchmt: Xv doesn't seem much faster on my system.
[15:25:35] gustave: janneg: where are you planning to post the test driver? The Wiki? Just so I know where to look. And dont harass anyone on list

[15:40:57] justinh: only using a 2GB USB flash
[15:41:10] hashbang: justinh: ah, OK
[15:41:28] justinh: a car is no place for even a mobile HDD
[15:41:30] hashbang: justinh: I'm not having a lot of luck finding a car hifi with sensible limits

[15:41:55] hashbang: justinh: well, I use my iRiver H340 in my car already... :-)
[15:42:03] justinh: you cannot navigate your whole library with 5 buttons
[15:42:33] hashbang: justinh: if they're cursor + select, it's doable
[15:42:43] hashbang: (albeit not whilst driving!)
[15:42:52] justinh: there's a truckload of bollix in my music library – hardly any of which I even LIKE anymore
[15:42:58] hashbang: haha
[15:43:23] justinh: most of it is throwback to when I was a DJ..
[15:43:40] hashbang: justinh: worst limit so far is Sony's: 65535 files (fine), 500 files/folder (fine), max of 128 folders (oops)
[15:43:52] justinh: ffs that's bad
[15:44:12] justinh: KDC-W6537 is the one I got anyway. yet to run into any bother with it

[15:45:37] justinh: KDC-W6537U – CD/MP3/USB/IPOD Ready £79.99
[15:45:44] justinh: caraudiodirect.com
[15:45:45] hashbang: yeah, I got to the bottom of those; for Fords, the PC99-X07 replaces the ISO harness too
[15:46:19] hashbang: the Sony's do Bluetooth which would be nice to have; both for answering calls, and for streaming music from my K800i
[15:46:58] justinh: shitty folder limit though eh
[15:47:10] hashbang: I wouldn't be surprised if my phone ends up being my MP3 player soon; 8GB cards for it are only 30 quid.
[15:47:15] hashbang: justinh: aye. :-(
[15:47:34] justinh: shouldn't bloody need folders in this day & age anyway
[15:47:43] hashbang: justinh: all down to limited on-board memory on the hifi I guess, but it's like the designers have never used MP3 devices...
[15:48:12] hashbang: oh, I think folders are great, given we don't have queryable database-like filesystems

[16:50:19] kaktuspalme: iamlindoro, gpl
[16:50:24] iamlindoro__: so what?
[16:50:30] iamlindoro__: The GPL doesn't prevent closed-sourcde drivers
[16:50:44] iamlindoro__: You can write all the closed source nonsense you want and base it on linux
[16:51:02] iamlindoro__: eg, Tivo, nvidia, etc., etc.

[16:51:28] anykey_: laga: both, #5403
[16:51:47] iamlindoro__: kaktuspalme, There's nothing whatsoever stopping them from writing their own DVB-S2 API and drivers, and having them run on linux
[16:52:01] iamlindoro__: And as there *is* no finalized S2 API on linux yet...
[16:52:11] kaktuspalme: iamlindoro, they have to release it as OpenSource then
[16:52:19] iamlindoro__: kaktuspalme, No, again, they do NOT
[16:52:47] iamlindoro__: as long as your work is original and doesn't use GPL code unto itself, you are free to laeve it closed source and license it as you wish
[16:53:23] kormoc: (assuming the interface doesn't export with require_gpl)
[16:53:29] iamlindoro__: This is exactly why you cannot peek at most of TiVo's code, or nvidia proprietary drivers, etc.
[16:53:34] kaktuspalme: iamlindoro__, im speaking of AB IPBox 9000HD
[16:53:38] kormoc: (but even then you can write a shim between them)
[16:54:51] iamlindoro__: kaktuspalme, what difference does the box make? I am telling you that they are free to close-source their own API and driver implementations, regardless of what box it is.

[16:56:55] iamlindoro__: As that box is running on a 266 Mhz processor and purports to play back 1080i h.264 material, you can bet your rear end that all of that acceleration is proprietary and closed source, as is likely the DVB-S2 implementation
[16:57:39] |Torg|: maybe it 1080I at 1KB/min :P

[17:37:55] abqjp: I wish I could use yadif(2x) for 1080i, but my 3GHz dual core is not up to that.
[17:37:59] iamlindoro__: Actually, between the multithreading improvements, MLP encoding and decoding, and the finishing of E-AC3 support... well, next ffmpeg sync is looking exciting indeed :)

[17:39:15] abqjp: MLP, E-AC3 — are those part of blu-ray?
[17:39:32] iamlindoro__: they are used in blu-ray discs, but they are audio codecs unto themselves
[17:39:46] EvilGuru: abqjp: I think there is E-AC3, DTS-HD Master and TrueHD
[17:40:07] iamlindoro__: EvilGuru, MLP = TrueHD
[17:40:14] abqjp: so, then we just need menu support for blu-ray.
[17:40:54] iamlindoro__: abqjp, Well, this won't make blu-ray disks playable in myth, just blu-ray rips. There's no decoding library (that works on linux) for blu-ray yet.
[17:41:15] EvilGuru: The 177 nVidia drivers (supposedly) have support for audio-over-HDMI, so it might be possible to send the streams to an A/V receiver
[17:41:19] abqjp: And they keep coming up with new ways of encrypting.
[17:41:23] wagner: there are libraries for AACS arent there?
[17:41:40] directhex: EvilGuru, didn't know about that detail of 177.x

[17:42:09] iamlindoro__: wagner, There is a non-functional library for AACS being worked on, it's not working just yet-- only the very earliest BR disks are AACS, though
[17:42:30] iamlindoro__: almost all disks being released new now are BD+, which can only be ripped w/ AnyDVD HD ATM
[17:42:34] iamlindoro__: (in windows)
[17:42:36] EvilGuru: directhex: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php? . . . postcount=33
[17:42:40] wagner: ok, i have no idea when they started using BD+

[17:42:48] iamlindoro__: yeah, it's a pain in the butt
[17:42:58] abqjp: Can AnyDVD do them all, or does it need updated everytime a new disc is released?
[17:43:19] iamlindoro__: abqjp, They have a disk here or there they have to update for, but largely it can remove BD+ across the board
[17:43:21] EvilGuru: abqjp: Apparently it is immune to any kind of revocation
[17:43:23] directhex: EvilGuru, hm, and i thought 177.x was still under NDA

[17:43:47] GreyFoxx: iaml: Do you rip and then convert them, or just rip and play as is ?
[17:43:51] mjj29: EvilGuru: does it use an oracle?
[17:44:06] mjj29: (does it have to be online to their server)
[17:44:19] EvilGuru: I am unsure there
[17:44:21] GreyFoxx: Just wondering if there was the start of a brdvdnav/brdvdread library out there which we will eventually want to look at
[17:44:26] directhex: EvilGuru, i mean that in a "i'm not allowed to talk about 177" sense
[17:44:34] iamlindoro__: GreyFoxx, Have just been leaving them as-is, I have plenty of space
[17:44:50] abqjp: 30–50GB each?
[17:45:05] iamlindoro__: 20–30 generally, for just the film itself
[17:45:13] GreyFoxx: iaml: Are they patching mplayer directly or putting stuff into seperate libraries and calling those?
[17:45:14] iamlindoro__: 10–20 GB are usually extras, etc.
[17:45:26] wagner: 177.x being.... nvidia drivers?
[17:45:32] EvilGuru: wagner: Yes
[17:45:35] GreyFoxx: mainly the navigation stuff I'm curious about right now more than the actualy decoding
[17:46:08] iamlindoro__: GreyFoxx, I have been applying patched to mplayer to play them-- one each for MLP and E-AC3 and a few little ones to improve m2ts demuxing
[17:46:28] iamlindoro__: No menu support whatsoever that I know of in linux

[17:47:07] ** EvilGuru would be happy with working player support **
[17:47:15] iamlindoro__: GreyFoxx, The libaacs guys were at www.decrypthd.org, but they appear to be kaput at the moment
[17:48:03] iamlindoro__: They didn't seem to intend to work on BD+, though, and their "library" still required that you get a key file as you must currently to rip, so it wasn't the easiest decryption in the world
[17:48:28] iamlindoro__: EvilGuru, It's playable today, so long as you get them ripped/decrypted and patch mplayer appropriately
[17:48:50] iamlindoro__: if you want to play off the disk, though... well, it may be a bit

[17:52:31] GreyFoxx: how long does it take to rip them via anydvd hd ? :)
[17:52:50] iamlindoro__: Usually 60 minutes or so, it's really not too bad
[17:53:23] iamlindoro__: I usually get lucky and the feature files are early on in the disk and once they're done I cancel the rip since I don't care about extras
[17:55:51] GreyFoxx: Wonder if powerdvd can be made to run under wine
[17:55:57] GreyFoxx: to play them directly
[17:56:36] iamlindoro__: Doesn't look promising per AppDB
[17:57:17] ** iamlindoro__ wonders why people always point to that stupid ubuntu wiki article on Blu-ray when his is so much better :) **
[17:57:42] iamlindoro__: Probably because theirs has pictures.
[17:58:24] EvilGuru: iamlindoro__: Where is your article?
[17:58:32] iamlindoro__: EvilGuru, on the myth wiki
[17:58:43] kormoc: iamlindoro, because ubuntu is the world and the world is ubuntu... embrace the one... it will steal your soul and mind and make you one of it's loved masses...
[17:58:46] wagner: pretty pictures please the masses much more than descriptive text
[17:58:52] iamlindoro__: heh
[17:59:03] GreyFoxx: drink the koolaid
[17:59:20] iamlindoro__: Mmm, podpeople
[17:59:35] wagner: heres youre sneakers
[18:00:00] directhex: erm, if it;s on an ubuntu wiki, no ubuntu person uses it
[18:00:05] directhex: ubuntu people use ubuntu FORUMS!
[18:00:07] iamlindoro__: The ubuntu article doesn't even begin to address the audio formats, so most people who pay one of the files in stock ubuntu mplayer will be watching a silent film reel...

[18:02:07] ** GreyFoxx just wants to stop getting DVD's and move to bluray.... so they gotta come out with Transformers already **
[18:02:07] iamlindoro__: EvilGuru, from what I understand the newer DTS format encapsulates a "classic" DTS stream so that should play on current mplayer OK
[18:02:12] iamlindoro__: GreyFoxx, 9/2/08
[18:02:21] GreyFoxx: Oh it's been announced? Cooll
[18:02:23] iamlindoro__: yep
[18:02:28] GreyFoxx: So that will be the day I move to bluray
[18:02:38] GreyFoxx: IT'll be my gateway disc
[18:03:02] EvilGuru: iamlindoro__: That is my understanding also. I think it has a 'correction' file and support for an extra channel or two
[18:03:10] iamlindoro__: yeah, exactly
[18:03:42] iamlindoro__: And the LPCM support was a matter of minorly patching the demuxer, so that works ok with some tweaking
[18:04:07] iamlindoro__: I have given up updating the patches biweekly for mplayer and ffmpeg, so now I'm just sticking with my current revision until everything is committed

[18:44:56] |Torg|: why, no X to screw with can setup and recan with any ssh client including my palm pilot
[18:44:58] GreyFoxx: you have a commandline one! mysql, and a webbases on... pma :)
[18:45:06] beandog: I toyed with the idea of writing a www frontend for mythtv setup
[18:45:31] GreyFoxx: bean: I'm trying hard of a reason to not integrate it into the FE
[18:45:53] sid3windr: cli based = good; frontend = good; http = ok; current = notsogood
[18:46:06] |Torg|: I can already set most things with myphpadmin, but you can not scan with it
[18:46:45] |Torg|: and direct sql inje3ction has no sanity checking, so I wouldnt call it an aproprate interface
[18:47:27] GreyFoxx: I wouldn't mind a merging of the gui's, and maybe some rejigging of where options are at the same time
[18:47:41] GreyFoxx: though if it was up to me I'd loose halfof the options anyway
[18:47:55] beandog: My big issue is that the options arent well documented
[18:48:03] laga: maybe some options need to be secret, only toggable using mysql magic
[18:48:04] beandog: as in, they could use a better description of what I'm changing
[18:48:05] |Torg|: even something as simple as mythtv-setup -rescan 0 or something
[18:48:18] laga: |Torg|: danielk is working on a CLI based scanner.
[18:48:34] GreyFoxx: laga: I could live with that
[18:48:49] laga: GreyFoxx: or maybe have simple and advanced modes for each screen
[18:48:52] sid3windr: hmm, now that I'm imagining it, webbased could be the nicest way to have it all
[18:49:34] laga: mythbuntu actually wants to make a web-based mythtv-setup, but who knows when that's gonna happen.
[18:49:45] justinh: bleh
[18:49:58] GreyFoxx: yeah, so my parents wanting to change the theme in the frontend have to go find a PC to do it rather than the gui they already have with the remote they already have? No way :)
[18:50:02] kormoc: laga, it'd be nice if they'd try to work with me bout that...
[18:50:04] |Torg|: just roll mythweb into the backend :)
[18:50:13] laga: kormoc: of course.
[18:50:20] laga: kormoc: when are we gonna start? :)
[18:50:22] |Torg|: of course bigger is beter, codeboat and all

[18:51:11] justinh: maybe its tines broke off
[18:51:22] GreyFoxx: Heheh you know, using the screenshot stuff, and a form of th enetwork controls you could turn mythweb into something to manage both FE's and mythtv-setup heh

[18:52:00] xris: kormoc: rewriting mythweb in c++?
[18:52:12] kormoc: laga, once I clean it up a bit, sure, I'll likely actually commit it in. It's mainly capture card and storage group management. Nothing with scanning and the like tho
[18:52:14] xris: or a mythweb-based setup?
[18:52:25] justinh: wonder who'll relish the job of keeping the gui & web setup pages in sync
[18:52:28] kormoc: xris, nah, mythweb based management of the stuff that makes sense
[18:52:39] kormoc: justinh, that'd be me of course!

[18:52:57] kormoc: most of the stuff I've done is fairly simple
[18:53:07] |Torg|: you wouoldnt have to convert mythweb to C++ just xml and use the already made structres in the code
[18:53:23] kormoc: scanning and the like, actually checking the setup is correct, etc, that's a rather large problem that I can't just do
[18:54:15] kormoc: laga, feel free to bug me next weekend, given I'll be majorly drunk this weekend :P

[18:56:17] abqjp: KO
[18:56:22] xris: kormoc: yeah. isaac always told me not to do that, so I never bothered.. he was worried that things would change too often and that it would be hard to maintain. the long-term goal was to actually build an API into the backend so you could query it to do whatever config you wanted.. but that it could actually send the config options back in the API so nothing had to be hard-coded into mythweb.
[18:56:24] mkrufky: dont tell them you called previously
[18:56:40] kormoc: xris, whoops...
[18:56:41] abqjp: Actually, I have never called — just emailed.

[18:58:44] justinh: right. 2 s100 boxen ready to ship

[19:25:53] directhex: kormoc, coolermaster brought out their 11-bay stacker years ago
[19:26:23] |Torg|: darthy: its a row in the transport table that defines the frequency, etc for tuning
[19:26:50] |Torg|: and its a dvb thing, not just a dvb-s thing
[19:27:17] directhex: as in 4 years earlier
[19:27:20] kormoc: directhex, so did Lian Li...
[19:27:33] kormoc: directhex, that's not the first one they did, it's just the lastest...

[19:28:19] justinh: darthy: dtv_multiplex
[19:28:48] darthy: the transportid field is inside dtv_multiplex. but where does it point to? or what does it mean?
[19:29:08] |Torg|: its the ID of the Transport
[19:29:14] darthy: im trying to import a channel from a channels.conf which is not added by the scanner.. :(
[19:29:23] directhex: kormoc, i have nothing against lian-li (this pc i'm using right now is in a v1100), but it seems terribly derivative
[19:30:15] kormoc: directhex, I don't care if it's derivative, they do it better. I've never cut myself on a lian-li case, and I've never sworn at the design. Easy to replace components, and they never break. They're worth it in my opinion
[19:30:18] |Torg|: when your dvb card scanns the sats it gets a list of transports, each have an ID (if you want to know what is what look them up on lyngsat)
[19:30:20] iamlindoro__: Thoughts on Foxconn for Mobos?
[19:30:31] beandog: run far away
[19:30:33] |Torg|: that mutiplex has things like frew, inversion, rate and fec
[19:30:34] darthy: where to get the transport id from?
[19:30:49] |Torg|: its from the people who brdcast to the sats
[19:31:05] darthy: is transport and transponder the same?
[19:31:18] jarle: darthy: yes
[19:31:22] darthy: ahh
[19:31:24] darthy: :)
[19:31:27] directhex: kormoc, the v1100 is flawed in places IMHO, but i've never been 100% happy with a case
[19:31:40] directhex: iamlindoro__, cheap, and usually ATI chipsets
[19:31:56] directhex: iamlindoro, everyone's using a little bit of foxconn, anyway

[19:34:25] darthy: where to get the network id from? is it somewhere inside a channel.conf?
[19:34:36] |Torg|: darthy: transportid is not the same as trasponder but they are related
[19:34:54] |Torg|: its like the relationship between channel id and the frequency id
[19:36:01] |Torg|: network id, like transport id is all brqadcast by the provider
[19:36:24] darthy: and the network id has to fit with the one being broadcasted?
[19:36:36] |Torg|: you scan in one freq with proper symbol rate, inversion, polarity and fec
[19:36:44] |Torg|: then the sat gives you all it transport (or should)
[19:37:14] darthy: will mythtv overwrite wrong db setting then? or can i set it to auto?
[19:37:28] |Torg|: when you go back to scan myth has all these in its databases and uses each on to tune to to get what it on the multiple, each "channel" is a part of that multiplex (as are other things like guide info)
[19:38:16] |Torg|: there has to be somethign about this on google or a wiki somewhere
[19:38:39] darthy: problem is, i cant use myth to scan cause it wont find the channels. though szap can tune to them and get a lock
[19:39:06] |Torg|: myth wont scan encryptd channels
[19:39:21] |Torg|: well ti will scan them it just wont report anything backl
[19:40:00] darthy: it does find encrypted channels.. no prob.. but channels with mor then one video/audio feed are not found..
[19:40:07] darthy: im looking for a workaround for that
[19:40:17] darthy: currently only editing the db seems the solution
[19:40:41] darthy: but im missing the right information for that and dont want to crash the db
[19:40:54] darthy: do you now a better solution for this?
[19:41:20] |Torg|: go to lynsat and find the sat you want to scan in, chose one transponder and do a tranponder scan, then when it done do a full transport scan

[19:42:32] darthy: thanx
[19:42:35] darthy: ill try
[19:50:15] darthy: |Torg|: sorry.. but im a total noob. you mean by choose a transponder, choose "existing transport scan", after that i do a "full scan of existing transports" ?
[19:50:41] darthy: or should i add a new transport?
[19:51:01] darthy: theres nothing like "transponder" in the mythtv-setup. or am i blind?
[19:51:03] |Torg|: no the default should have a plce to put in a new transport, you need frequency, rate, inversion and fec
[19:51:27] |Torg|: lyngsat reports the rate and freq in 1000' so add 000 to each (or is it 4 0s I forget)
[19:51:47] justinh: 3 zeros
[19:59:18] darthy: so.. i took a look at the transport list, the transport i needed was already there. when i do a "existing transport scan" the channel i need is not found. should i now choose "full scan of existing transports"? isnt that only scanning all transports..the scanner will also scan the needed transponder but wont find the channel as like the single transponder-scan.

[20:56:38] wagner: kill `ps ax | grep mythbackend | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1 }'`
[20:57:04] tim1: wow dude :) show of or what ?
[20:57:25] tim1: surprise bash: kill: (14272) – Operation not permitted
[20:57:25] killaz: laga: I have the setenv db_login and db_passsword set, but still I get message from mythweb you have failed to configure mythweb's database login info
[20:57:35] wagner: sudo kill?
[20:57:45] tim1: ok done i dont sudo :P
[20:57:46] laga: killaz: are these the same as in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt ?
[20:58:02] killaz: aha let me see
[20:58:11] tim1: didnt print any thing htou
[20:58:24] wagner: tim1: grep and awk are fairly basic *nix commands
[20:58:49] tim1: backend is gone from top
[20:59:23] tim1: wagner ok
[20:59:32] tim1: run the backend now ?
[20:59:56] tim1: or the setup
[21:00:43] wagner: no idea... the backend cannot open the cards, but the cards exist in /dev. however iamlindoro said the cards are world readable under mythbuntu
[21:00:48] killaz: laga: thank you. You were right they weren't the same
[21:01:01] wagner: perhaps they got reordered somehow, and mythtv is no longer trying to access the correct IDs?
[21:01:09] tim1: wagner the cards show up fine on the setup
[21:01:22] laga: killaz: yeah, that's a known problem.. it'll be fixed eventually in mythbuntu
[21:02:14] tim1: the way it all stopped was really strange!
[21:02:15] killaz: laga: ok. Even the killer apps has issues so ...
[21:04:17] killaz: I'm going to format a second HD. which fs do you recommend?
[21:04:39] EvilGuru: killaz: For lots of video files/large files? XFS
[21:05:38] wagner: why would the startup script fail, when it continued to run when you started it manually?
[21:06:29] tim1: ahh the ip of my computer has changed, (i plugged it directly to the modem) But why would mythtv stop the front end knows the ip is" localhost"
[21:07:22] iamlindoro__: because it doesn't use hostnames across the board, there are various portions of myth that a IP-dependent
[21:07:26] wagner: why does the mythtv box need DMZ access?
[21:07:27] iamlindoro__: are
[21:08:09] joomla_user: what the serial key for mythtv?
[21:08:21] iamlindoro__: Just use you XP key, it will work fine
[21:08:29] laga: FCKGW-....
[21:09:01] |Torg|: actualy use google to look up the mythtv keygen
[21:09:11] wagner: joomla_user, you can try '12345'
[21:09:19] iamlindoro__: that weird, I have that same code on my luggage
[21:09:22] killaz: EvilGuru: why XFS and not JFS?
[21:09:23] iamlindoro__: that's
[21:09:40] tim1: iamlindoro__: i get it , see here Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.2 that's not the present IP. what's strange is that it worked for very long after the IPs changed.
[21:09:52] EvilGuru: killaz: Nothing against JFS; both will do fine, I just have more experience with XFS
[21:10:03] killaz: EvilGuru: ok...
[21:10:07] wagner: here we go... full-free-download-Mythtv-torrent-crack-serial-keygen.html

[21:15:02] EvilGuru: (never put an ReiserFS image inside of a ReiserFS partition...)
[21:15:29] wagner: |Torg|: it works, until you try to delete something... and then it can cause disk access issues if youre recording at the same time
[21:15:29] iamlindoro__: I've never lost a FS to Reiser, but I'm sure never lending him my car again

[21:16:58] Dagmar: FINALLY, some useful street violence
[21:17:04] wagner: dagmar: thats fantastic
[21:17:08] directhex: iamlindoro, how's this for a nightmare scenario: hillary salts the earth, and declares she's running independent because she has to "fight for justice" after the democratic party "deny" her and "the majority of primary voters" their choice of candidate
[21:17:21] joomla_user: gooooooooooooooooooooal
[21:17:32] |Torg|: gee how many point is that worth
[21:17:38] iamlindoro__: directhex, I have my fears about it
[21:17:41] directhex: mexico's anti-emo violence is largely homophobic (the term 'emosexual' is popular there)
[21:17:49] iamlindoro__ is now known as Max_Rockatansky
[21:17:54] directhex: and there's no conditions under which beating up a particular subculture is good
[21:18:04] Max_Rockatansky: Which way to Thunderdome?
[21:18:16] directhex: iamlindoro___, i'm dying to see what she pulls this evening. your prediction?
[21:18:24] Max_Rockatansky is now known as iamlindoro__
[21:18:50] iamlindoro__: I predict she suspends the campaign but doesn't quit, concedes he has the delegates, and publicly states she is "willing" to be VP
[21:19:15] |Torg|: iamlindoro too late, she already has
[21:19:15] iamlindoro__: I then proclaim that I am "willing" to punch her in the vulva
[21:19:23] joomla_user: i think obama will win and become first muslim persident of the usa
[21:19:26] iamlindoro__: |Torg|, all she has done is the last bit
[21:19:33] laga: EvilGuru: TBH, it's a shame that everyone is hating on max mosley now. nobody should give a *gently caress* what this guy is doing in his spare, private time
[21:19:35] |Torg|: joomla_user: obama isnt muslim
[21:19:39] Dagmar: directhex: Have you had any experience with whiny emo kids?
[21:19:45] iamlindoro__: |Torg|, he's a trollllllllllll
[21:19:56] Dagmar: directhex: THis is one instance in which it very well might be okay to beat someone to toughen them up
[21:19:59] joomla_user: obama is not a troll he is a muslim
[21:20:08] iamlindoro__: He comes in to push peoples buttons on account of the tiny penis thing
[21:20:11] directhex: Dagmar, there are kids infinitely more deserving of being stomped in the face
[21:20:14] |Torg|: iamlindoro Im not contradicting you, just correcting joomla_user
[21:20:23] Dagmar: directhex: Stomped in the face is overkill, yeah
[21:20:32] Dagmar: Some rib punching and butt kicking tho...

[21:25:35] Dagmar: Emos are annoying as hell, man.
[21:25:41] directhex: Dagmar, videos are just easier to display
[21:25:50] Dagmar: If they did just a wee bit less moping around maybe things would be different
[21:25:57] EvilGuru: Dagmar: True as that may be, a beating is not the solution
[21:25:58] |Torg|: whats an emo?
[21:26:12] EvilGuru: |Torg|: Similar to a goth in some respects
[21:26:16] wagner: 'emo' has nothing to do with sexual
[21:26:18] Dagmar: Torg: People so depressive even goths don't respect them
[21:26:29] wagner: being 'emo' means you take clinical depression as a lifestyle
[21:26:31] Dagmar: It looks like a bunch of other ugly behaviours are getting lumped into it tho
[21:26:44] directhex: wagner, oh, but it does. it's largely sexually ambiguous, which is an affront to mexican machoness
[21:27:22] directhex: |Torg|, goths with even worse hair, dress sense, and depression issues
[21:27:30] kormoc: Dagmar, nothing ugly about alternative sexuality...
[21:27:44] Dagmar: No, I'm talking about ugly behaviours from racist skins

[21:37:55] Dagmar: Take punk mosh pits for example. Tehre's a lot of violence in there, but setting about to break people's jaws and so forth is unacceptable even there
[21:38:57] Dagmar: directhex: I think you can sum up the pokemonos thing as a matter of bullying going into overdrive.

[21:42:02] EvilGuru: What happened to the proposed replacement of XvMC? Did it ever get finalised or whatever
[21:42:05] iamlindoro__: janneg, Is that to say that you have an algorithm for generating them, or still looking at it?
[21:42:11] |Torg|: and that function is a buch of bit manipluation not really crytographic
[21:42:27] Dagmar: Torg: Well, it counts as a hash even if it sucks
[21:42:27] janneg: hex strings, I ommitted the usual 0x
[21:42:44] Dagmar: janneg: Oh I know, but a-f are *eyeroll* not single bit

[21:59:21] mjj29: wikipedia claims that linux and solaris are LP64
[21:59:49] |Torg|: can be, not necesarily are
[22:00:03] gbee: Dagmar: what shocked me are the speeds for $30/month – 768Kbits? You get 10Mb/s for that much here
[22:00:18] kormoc: mjj29, you mean "some random user who posted on wikipedia claimed"
[22:00:45] gbee: but yes, the limits are silly
[22:00:47] Dagmar: gbee: Well, I was paying about $150/month for that in San Francisco, but we had a "business class" SDSL line for that, with 10 ips and *us* as the abuse and auth contacts for name resolution
[22:00:57] directhex: i think we pay £24 a month for 16 down, 1 up, unlimited
[22:01:01] mjj29: kormoc: hence the qualification
[22:01:24] Dagmar: ...and it was *always* 768k
[22:01:41] Dagmar: Somehow I dont' think those TW customers are getting dedicated bandwidth
[22:01:54] gbee: aye
[22:01:58] EvilGuru: More rural here, £30 a month for probably 8 down and 448k up, but due to distance actually get 2 down and 256 up
[22:02:00] mjj29: mmm contention
[22:02:45] Dagmar: My fraking PS3 would have broken a 5Gb/month limit with no problem at all
[22:03:05] Dagmar: The size of the demos that thing downloads is enormous
[22:03:08] |Torg|: im paying $35/month for 6M/768K I mostly get close to 6M when downloading, come to about 600K up
[22:03:16] directhex: EvilGuru, well, i'm paying for <24, <1.5
[22:03:21] directhex: EvilGuru, distance makes it 16/1

[22:05:17] directhex: at least once

[22:07:28] directhex: |Torg|, nay. not without wine, anyway.

[22:14:10] iamlindoro__: Hehe, I'm not the expert, so I'm not 100% certain, sounds odd for sure-- I know the SA stuff has two different OS'es, so perhaps the channel changer is only compatible with the other?
[22:14:10] clever: all at once

[22:15:04] hadees: iamlindoro__, well that would suck

[22:28:08] hadees: all of which is dependant on if i can get the damn external firewire channel changing script to work
[22:28:16] abqjp: Actually, using s-video from your stb into a pvr-500, the HD channels can look very good. You loose 5/6 of the resolution, but all things considered it is very watchable.
[22:28:59] abqjp: You really see the resolution loss for sports, though.
[22:29:11] abqjp: basically anytime you have diagonal lines.
[22:29:11] hadees: abqjp, you ever have issues with the box's menus covering shit up?
[22:29:57] abqjp: I use directv. When I had comcast, i seem to remember the box having a timeout which could be set for the stb's OSD.
[22:30:15] abqjp: With directv, I control it via serial, and there is a command that can be sent to remove the OSD.
[22:31:07] Dagmar: Now THAT is handy

[22:40:59] directhex: |Torg|, trunk is qt4
[22:41:04] EvilGuru: ALSA doesn't support on-the-fly DTS encoding at all does it (I have seen some AC3 stuff)

[22:41:19] |Torg|: I got 21 fixes crashing with a qt string exception
[22:41:19] Dagmar: ALSA doesn't do DTS probably because of *patents*
[22:41:30] kormoc: |Torg|, -fixes is qt 3 only
[22:42:18] abqjp: Coming from a HD source GREATLY improves the picture, though. It does not mean I have not ordered a HD-PVR!
[22:43:21] Dagmar: Um... Not really.
[22:43:45] Dagmar: Coming from a _digital_ source might improve the picture, depending on the compression levels used.
[22:44:11] Dagmar: If there's a significant difference between the SD broadcast and the digital HD downsampled, then the cablecompany needs to fix their gear
[22:44:51] |Torg|: if there is a significnat differnce between SD and HD downsamples get an ATSC card
[22:44:56] abqjp: I think it partially has to do with the color space.
[22:45:24] Dagmar: Forcing 16:9 aspect ratio on the decidedly SD broadcasts picked up by the PVR-500 just makes recordings with the wrong aspect ratio.
[22:45:34] Dagmar: No, you're just theorizing based on how you "feel" about it
[22:45:42] abqjp: True.
[22:46:00] abqjp: Forcing 16:9 aspect on HD source material, though, is correct.
[22:46:18] kormoc: abqjp, not when you caputre it via the pvr 500
[22:46:26] kormoc: cause it capture 4:3
[22:46:33] Dagmar: "HD source material" is not even a useful classification
[22:46:39] kormoc: you're just stretching the video
[22:47:05] Dagmar: Video isn't typically recorded in square pixels, and this is for good reason.
[22:47:10] abqjp: I have the directv receiver setup to send out "anamorphic", so the the PVR-500 has to be set to 16:9 to do the right thing.
[22:47:47] Dagmar: Being that humans didn't spend an extended period of time being preyed on by flying raptors, our eyes developed more horizontal discrimination than vertical

[22:48:54] abqjp: Right.
[22:48:57] Dagmar: Analog ones don't.
[22:49:29] Dagmar: There would be very little point in it.
[22:49:53] abqjp: Yeah, but I thought we were talking about capturing "HD"?
[22:50:06] Dagmar: No analog cable boxes are carrying HD.
[22:50:09] hadees: so here is an interesting question, if i record HDTV and I currently have both an HDTV and a STD TV is it possible for me to transcode the HDTV content just so the frontend attached to the STD TV can play it but so my frontend attached to the HDTV, which is more powerful, can still play the original HDTV version
[22:50:10] Dagmar: The PVR-500 wasn't designed for HD.
[22:50:15] Dagmar: It was designed for SD.
[22:50:25] Dagmar: What you're doing with yours is strictly a hack.
[22:50:36] Dagmar: An effective hack, but still not "normal" use of the equipment.
[22:51:12] hadees: Dagmar, i wouldn't call that a hack, it is effectively STD
[22:51:19] Dagmar: Eh wot?
[22:51:22] abqjp: I completely agree. My point was, that sans the HD-PVR, it is the best than can be done — and really does not look too bad, most of the time.
[22:51:28] kormoc: abqjp, you're not capturing hd, you're still capturing sd that came from an hd source
[22:51:48] Dagmar: kormoc: Yeah but if he's got the box set to anamorphic output, he's getting more vertical data than he would otehrwise.
[22:51:49] abqjp: Semantics.
[22:52:01] kormoc: Dagmar, more horizontal
[22:52:16] Dagmar: It's a *minor* improvement, and that's *if* the comb filter that comes into play doesn't make things worse
[22:52:48] abqjp: At least with my setup, the improvement was very noticeable.
[22:53:19] abqjp: I will say, that the addition of yadif/greedy to myth made a huge difference with this setup.

[22:54:18] Dagmar: kormoc: As far as I know if the source is 16:9 the options are a) chop the left and right sides off (yuck, probably nothing does this normally), b) letterbox it, which wastes screen estate, or c) anamorphic, which for 720p means it's still only the same side-to-side detail, but at least there's less image detail loss than sqishing the 720 lines down into 360 or whatever the letterboxing leaves out
