[00:01:01] i_is_cat: and ya we tried mythbuntu.. i dont remember the specifics of the issues we had with that distro in particular, but it was enough that we didnt use it for more than 5min
[00:02:06] iamlindoro: Well, as linuxmce *is* ubuntu, there's no reason it should be any different hardware support-wise
[00:02:24] i_is_cat: i know
[00:02:30] i_is_cat: we even tried kubuntu by itself
[00:02:51] i_is_cat: however getting the sound driver to work with plain kubuntu was more of an issue than with the linuxmce crap on top of it
[00:03:57] iamlindoro: Is there a good reason you couldn't spend more than 5 minutes getting things set up? Is this a "for dummies" box you're building for people, or...?
[00:04:10] i_is_cat: with slackware 12.1 only 1/3 of the lspci shows up unknown device
[00:04:25] iamlindoro: Something smells awfully fishy here, as I see lots of references to that hardware working fine with Ubuntu (among others)
[00:04:47] i_is_cat: no it probably booted to a limited shell and we just didnt wanna deal with crap like that before an actual install
[00:05:04] i_is_cat: the hardware *works*
[00:05:09] iamlindoro: Who is we? Is this some sort of commercial operation?
[00:05:42] riddlebox (riddlebox!n=james@75-132-225-75.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[00:05:51] i_is_cat: its just a huge pain to configure and get working, and the *buntu's are probably the worst setup systems in terms of actual control i've seen its all apt-get this apt-get that which doesnt tell you wtf its really doing
[00:05:55] iamlindoro: I'm just trying to understand how it would be easier to try distro after distro rather than follow a few steps to make one work
[00:06:04] i_is_cat: we had it working
[00:06:16] i_is_cat: it just took 3 weeks and wasnt as nice as we wanted
[00:06:44] iamlindoro: ok, I'm not asking questions any more, bye bye, good luck, I'm clearly not going to penetrate the cloak of secrecy here
[00:06:50] i_is_cat: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Gigabyte_ga-73pvm-s2h the steps on this page work for linuxmce sound but not ubuntu or kubuntu sound
[00:07:09] i_is_cat: explain that one to me?
[00:07:18] i_is_cat: we tried everything to get sound working but nothing
[00:08:48] achew22: iamlindoro: hey it works great

[00:08:50] achew22: thanks so much
[00:09:28] iamlindoro: great, I'm glad to hear it!
[00:09:32] i_is_cat: iamlindoro, there is no cloak of secrecy, the facts are simple, the hardware shows up as "unknown device" in an lspci output on every distro we tried, lots of them wouldnt boot from cd dropping us into limited shells and crap kubuntu has steps to get sound working and it worked but the same steps and reinstalling alsa completely didnt help at all.. everything has just been 'too much' of a pain in the ass
[00:09:36] iamlindoro: now you will want to go through each channel
[00:09:54] iamlindoro: because if a channel or program is 5C, it will crash the backend sometimes
[00:10:12] achew22: iamlindoro: I went up the channels and it works thus far on 100+ channels
[00:10:49] iamlindoro: good stuff! I note you are west-US Comcast, we seem to have the better luck than most of the midwesterners and east coasters
[00:11:06] achew22: suckers!
[00:11:30] i_is_cat: it works, it just takes more effort than its worth to get it going, now we installed a real distro: slackware 12.1 and sound and network work fine out of the box, lirc, imon driver, ivtv, lcdproc, mythtv, all that stuff compiled configured very easily with little time and no extra pluto bullshit that literally deletes your hard configured files on you
[00:14:05] i_is_cat: sorry when i said " and crap kubuntu has steps to get sound working and it" i meant linuxmce, that is kind of confusing

[01:10:32] spud1: HOWTO Says you must use OSS to record from frame grabber recorders. would that, or would that not include pvr150?
[01:12:11] iamlindoro: does not
[01:12:28] iamlindoro: frame grabber = non-hardware encoding analog cards
[01:13:12] spud1: thanks
[01:15:03] dustybin: iamlindoro: are framegrabbers used to capture analogue output of STBs ?
[01:15:34] iamlindoro: dustybin: framegrabbers can be used to capture any analog output you like, be it STB or otherwise
[01:15:47] dustybin: ok
[01:15:55] iamlindoro: They're pieces of shit
[01:16:03] dustybin: lol
[01:16:24] dustybin: ive found a interesting link for people who might want to setup a diskless frontend
[01:16:32] dustybin: on debian: http://www.logilab.org/card/DebianDisklessTerminalHowto
[01:16:57] iamlindoro: dustybin: Why would one follow that over the many many myth-specific netboot howtos?
[01:17:52] dustybin: ok ill have a look
[01:18:13] iamlindoro: or even better, the Mythbuntu three-click netboot?
[01:18:30] dustybin: wow nice: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Frontend
[01:18:46] dustybin: iamlindoro: 3 click net boot? how does that work?
[01:19:03] iamlindoro: You pull down which architecture, click to generate the image, click to turn it on. The end
[01:19:14] iamlindoro: From the Mythbuntu control center, that is
[01:20:14] dustybin: ill have to take a look!

[01:22:40] dustybin: i always thought PXE was done within the BIOS
[01:22:52] dustybin: but you still need to boot from some kind of media to activate it
[01:23:04] dustybin: maybe CF Card, USB drive, CD etc
[01:23:07] iamlindoro: nope
[01:23:20] iamlindoro: PXE can do all the work, no media needed
[01:23:38] dustybin: iamlindoro: does that need to be turned on in the BIOS
[01:24:05] iamlindoro: dustybin: If the only place to access your network card options is in the bios, then yes. If you use a standalone network card, it likely has its own settings
[01:24:26] dustybin: ok
[01:24:43] iamlindoro: If your network card is onboard, it should be no more difficult that setting your boot order to put netboot above everything else
[01:24:47] Dagmar: You need support *in* the BIOS for PXE (or a boot floppy, or USB thumbdrive) but thta's about it
[01:25:14] dustybin: iamlindoro: if its a PCI card you will need to boot something to activate it
[01:25:16] Dagmar: Most newer stuff boots from the network just fine now.
[01:25:25] Agrajag-: i have a diskless frontend with standalone network card, i had to turn pxe on in the bios
[01:25:32] iamlindoro: dustybin: no, it will likely just have its own BIOS-type setup
[01:25:41] dustybin: ok
[01:25:59] Dagmar: Remember all those 10base-T cards with teh empty sockets in them?
[01:26:12] Dagmar: That socket was made to hold a wee chip that would boot the machine from the network.
[01:26:17] dustybin: i rememeber ages ago in the amiga days i created a ram disk and booted the OS from ram, boy did it load fast
[01:26:22] dustybin: is there a linux way of doing that?
[01:26:29] Dagmar: That sort of kit is pretty much just built into stuff now, particularly motherboards with integrated NICs

[01:29:04] dustybin: how does PXE know where to look?
[01:29:09] GreyFoxx: DHCP options are your friend
[01:29:15] dustybin: oh ok
[01:29:38] Dagmar: It's basically just "more BOOTP fiddlingness"
[01:29:53] dustybin: there are lots of advantages to having a diskless frontend: less heat, less noise, cost
[01:30:02] Dagmar: PXE brings to X86 what all those Sun boxes have had for ages
[01:30:17] iamlindoro: dustybin: We're the ones explaining how netboot works to *you*... we *know* the advantages
[01:30:20] dustybin: + less electic used

[01:31:30] Dagmar: Hm... I needs me some coffee.
[01:33:49] dustybin: "Netbooting can be slower than booting from the hard drive — depending on network speeds, it can be much slower. "
[01:34:19] dustybin: "In addition, if there is limited memory on the client, swap time is potentially slower over the network. The hard drive used by the peripheral PC remains on the central Core, so in effect, the effective "bus speed" becomes the data transmission speed of your network. "
[01:34:23] iamlindoro: dustybin: You are worse than clever! Don't quote in here, we *know* this shit

[01:35:11] dustybin: i thought you might of been interested thats all :-(
[01:35:38] iamlindoro: Why would we want/need to know when we were just telling *you* how it works??
[01:36:53] dustybin: they could also cause kernel panics, maybe a small silent 2.5" notebook drive would be better
[01:37:14] iamlindoro:
[01:37:22] iamlindoro: Good call, don't bother trying, jsut vie up while you still can
[01:37:28] iamlindoro: er give up
[01:38:23] iamlindoro: I've never had a kernel panic via netboot, myself
[01:38:25] dustybin: i might set one up anyway just to see how it works, if it doesnt work out i can always install a hd
[01:41:07] Varak_: how can i make recordings take up less space? I don't want the alternate audio and less resolution would be fine
[01:41:32] iamlindoro: Varak_: What type of capture card?
[01:41:44] Varak_: skywalker 1 dvb
[01:41:49] iamlindoro: If you are using a digital tuner, then you will have to transcode after the fact
[01:42:02] Varak_: ok
[01:42:18] iamlindoro: So look into the documentation section on transcoding
[01:42:25] Varak_: will do, thanks

[01:44:44] Varak_: I'm already doing the trranscode thing to flag commercials, i guess it will also somehow remove commercials and save as a smaller file?
[01:45:00] Varak_: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Transcode_Video doesn't really say
[01:45:42] Varak_: what transcode format do i want?
[01:45:42] iamlindoro: you need to load the commercial list as a cutlist to be able to transcode out commercials. See the article on "removing commercials"
[01:45:51] iamlindoro: It's entirely up to you
[01:46:20] Varak_: well, I'm looking for a format that removes the extra crap and reduces the filesise signifigantly
[01:46:43] iamlindoro: formats have nothing to do with size, compression settings do
[01:46:45] Varak_: by extra crap i mean other lang, i under stand commercials are sepreate
[01:46:50] Varak_: ok
[01:47:11] Varak_: any suggestions on a compression format"
[01:47:12] Varak_: ?
[01:47:16] iamlindoro: to make smaller, crank the bitrate down. To preserve quality, keep bitrate high
[01:47:21] iamlindoro: no such thing as a compression format
[01:47:24] Varak_: ok
[01:47:45] Varak_: is this something i setup in the backend?
[01:47:50] iamlindoro: MPEG-2 is low CPU, but takes a bit more space. h.264 takes a beefy processor to be able to play, but compresses very well

[03:30:29] Quentusrex: Does mythtv support audio over hdmi?

[03:31:17] Quentusrex: and audio?
[03:31:19] iamlindoro: audio works on *some* of each
[03:31:39] iamlindoro: You will need to google the specific card you have in mind, linux, and hdmi audio
[03:31:41] Quentusrex: is there a list?
[03:31:45] iamlindoro: nope

[03:33:29] iamlindoro: 'cause all we'll do is google and get frustrated with you, heh
[03:34:10] Quentusrex: thanks
[03:34:28] Quentusrex: if I'm trying to find out about the audio, do I need to google the audio chipset
[03:35:55] iamlindoro: no, either your GPU has a set of headers to pass through SPDIF audio from the audio chipset, it has its own audio hardware, or it has no audio support whatsoever. Only google knows
[03:36:11] iamlindoro: You might also try "nameofyourmotherboard linux hdmi audio"

[03:37:46] iamlindoro: Generally speaking, the HDMI audio situation in linux is very poor, in large part because the HDMI audio situation on most GPUs is poor/nonexistent

[03:39:33] Quentusrex: is lcpm relavent
[03:40:03] iamlindoro: Quentusrex: Relevant to what? LPCM is just a type of audio
[03:40:29] wagner: for HDMI, i dont see much purpose to using anything but LPCM
[03:42:06] iamlindoro: wagner: Then it's a shame there are no HDMI 1.3 compliant cards w/ linux support
[03:42:33] wagner: i thought pre-1.3 could still do 5.1
[03:42:47] wagner: or can it do no better than 2.0?
[03:42:53] iamlindoro: I don't think more that 2 channel pre 1.3
[03:43:02] iamlindoro: er than
[03:44:00] wagner: you know, thats just ridiculous, compared to the video, LPCM uses inconsequentially little bandwidth
[03:44:02] Dagmar: Hey, anyone else but me ever thought of making case badges with Shrinky-Dinks?
[03:44:15] decev: hi everyone
[03:44:28] wagner: i dont know what shrinky-dinks are
[03:44:33] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Far as I know you'd be right.
[03:44:50] Dagmar: THe PS3 is about hte only thing going right now that can send more than two channels of uncompressed audio over HDMI.
[03:45:01] iamlindoro: I think it's because pre 1.3 It's pretty much single link DVI, and 1.3 is the dual-link equivalent... heck, they're kinda lucky to have squeezed any audio in pre .13 :)
[03:45:16] iamlindoro: Dagmar: Did I hear correctly that it will be fixed in firmware, or no?
[03:45:24] iamlindoro: oh never mind, misread
[03:45:24] Dagmar: wagner: You never saw those as a kid? They were plastic sheets you draw on with colored pencils, and then you put 'em in the oven for a bit and they shrink to about 1/3 of their former size and get thicker.
[03:45:39] iamlindoro: some firmware update added DTSHD and MLP, right?
[03:45:39] MrMunkily: that's a pretty good idea
[03:45:41] Dagmar: iamlindoro: All I've seen about that has been purely speculation
[03:45:41] wagner: pre-1.3 is basically single link DVI with audio
[03:45:53] wagner: 1.3+ is basically single link DVI, at double the clock rate
[03:45:56] iamlindoro: Weird, I feel like I just said that
[03:46:01] Dagmar: I mean, it SHOULD be possible for most devices to be firmware-upgraded to handle that
[03:46:07] Dagmar: ...but no one's done it yet that I'm aware of.
[03:46:17] wagner: dual link physically has double the pins

[03:46:34] Dagmar: I only know about it because of all the bullshit I went through to get GTA4 doing 5.1 audio (because I like to hear where the cops are coming from).
[03:46:43] iamlindoro: ergo dual-link equivalent, not literally dual link
[03:47:04] Dagmar: ANyway, back about the Shrinky-Dinks, they make ones that you can feed through an inkjet printer now.
[03:47:10] iamlindoro: cool
[03:47:14] Dagmar: It's like $10 for a pack of several sheets of the stuff.
[03:47:55] decev: does anyone know how well linux supports purevideo? I understand that there's no mpeg4 yet but can linux still make use of the mpeg2 hardware decoding?
[03:48:05] Dagmar: If you want to screw around with it, the next time you go out to eat someplace, see if they've got a takeaway bin that's made with #6 plastic (basically, 95% of the clear plastic food holders use this)
[03:48:09] iamlindoro: decev: not at all
[03:48:11] wagner: pre-1.3 supports multichannel LPCM, but i remember there being something about there not being enough bandwidth if youre using 1080p60 video
[03:48:17] iamlindoro: decev: wrt purevideo anyway
[03:48:31] iamlindoro: decev: There is XvMC which is a tiny bit of MPEG-2 accel
[03:48:45] iamlindoro: decev: But better left alone if you have a decent CPU
[03:48:54] decev: ok
[03:48:57] wagner: wikipedia doesnt seem to have any information on the pre-1.3 limitations
[03:49:03] Dagmar: Wash it off, cut out a big square, score one side of it with sandpaper or steel wool, draw what you like, and then pop it in the oven after Googling "DIY Shinky-Dinks" so you know what temperature to put the oven on
[03:49:30] decev: i was wondering because i'm about to buy a motherboard and hopefully use the onboad video
[03:49:41] Dagmar: In about 10 minutes the piece will be much smaller, but about twice as thick as a credit card.
[03:50:08] cesman: is anyone using 17466 of fixes or greater?
[03:50:12] decev: so the 7050pv would be a bad choice i suppose, i should go with the 8200 onboard instead?
[03:50:17] decev: nvidia i mean
[03:50:20] Dagmar: Why would that be a bad choice?
[03:50:24] Dagmar: Hell, that's what I just ordered.
[03:50:25] iamlindoro: decev: Why would it matter?
[03:50:35] Dagmar: It works with the nVidia driver so XvMC accelleration should be no problem.
[03:50:36] iamlindoro: since they'll perform identically in linux
[03:50:40] cesman: I compiled w/ --runtime-prefix and and MYTHTVDIR set, however it cannot file mythcommflag (in /usr/bin)
[03:51:07] decev: oh they will? ok
[03:51:10] Dagmar: cesman: Put the whole path to mythcommflag and mythtranscode in the place in the settings where you set the names of those programs.
[03:51:12] wagner: the 7050pv is perfectly fine for now
[03:51:29] wagner: but you may want to get the 8200 due to some ill conceived hope that nvidia will support more in the future
[03:51:35] iamlindoro: decev: By which I mean "they'll both paint shit on the screen and perform next-to-no hardware accel"
[03:51:36] decev: good i just wasnt sure if i was going to get any hardware accell out of it
[03:51:44] Dagmar: Not like this will matter too much but I just wrote up the what and *why* of the hardware I ordered for the new frontend at http://evildagmar.livejournal.com
[03:52:07] wagner: does nvidia have CUDA compilers for linux?
[03:52:20] decev: iamlindoro: lol well i hope that's not the case but there's always that gfx card slot in case it doesnt work out
[03:52:22] Dagmar: I wouldn't dream of playing say, WoW with the 7050 but it's got all it needs to deal with XvMC
[03:52:45] Dagmar: wagner: No idea. Lookikng now
[03:52:50] Dagmar: Actally, it damn well should be out there
[03:53:07] decev: i'm just going for smooth 720p
[03:53:14] Dagmar: There's multiple .edu sites using the things for computational acelleration and I"m damn sure they're not doing that on Windows
[03:53:29] gizmobay: PiP doesn't work with XvMc
[03:53:42] iamlindoro: Ah, yet another reason to never ever use XvMc
[03:53:46] wagner: well nvidia has their tools available for download for linux
[03:53:46] Dagmar: decev: I fully expect that the X2 4600+ CPU I'm putting in will eat 720p up
[03:54:12] Dagmar: ...and it's kinda hard to buy *less* CPU than that now
[03:54:25] iamlindoro: Dagmar: Why does live journal make me sacrifice a chicken just to read a blog post?
[03:54:25] cesman: arghhhhhhhhh
[03:54:26] Dagmar: It was freakin $55 for the CPU
[03:54:31] decev: yeah i have a 5000+ on the way from a good deal on slickdeals
[03:54:31] cesman: Dagmar: thanks
[03:54:32] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Eh wot?
[03:54:39] decev: but i didnt buy the mobo yet
[03:54:41] gizmobay: My guide is very slow without XvMc
[03:54:42] Dagmar: You have a problem clicking something saying you're at least 14?
[03:54:44] decev: which mobo did you get?
[03:54:44] wagner: i was originally planning on learning how to program for the Cell for HPC purposes, but graphics cards seem to have left its ability behind long ago
[03:54:50] iamlindoro: Dagmar: I just jumped through like 14,000 screens to read the post ;)
[03:54:53] Dagmar: I could turn that off, but I occasionally use naughty words when I post something
[03:54:56] Dagmar: Oh weird.

[03:55:39] iamlindoro: er but you can't
[03:55:41] Dagmar: Cookied maybe. Member, no.
[03:55:53] Dagmar: ...adn I've never seen it do anything but just gimme the blog on any machine I"ve used
[03:56:12] Dagmar: Maybe I'm just so used to clicking that 14+ warning now that I ignore it
[03:56:39] Dagmar: I'm serious when I say 8 year olds probably might not be well served by reading my writings, even without the occasional blue language.
[03:56:42] wagner: yeah, two clicks and i got in

[03:58:27] wagner: heh
[03:58:42] wagner: at 4%, youre probably already doing permanent damage to the li-ion cells

[04:26:11] decev: i wonder if it would be possible to use mythtv to record and still use the stb to watch live tv
[04:26:44] wagner: youre going to be running mythtv off the same video output as the TV
[04:26:46] wagner: so no
[04:27:42] decev: even with two tuners in the stb? man i cant stand cable companies
[04:28:06] wagner: usually the only dual tuner STBs are their DVR units
[04:28:26] decev: yeah that's the one we have now

[06:50:33] wagner: if you can do it in linux, you can do it in mythtv
[06:50:34] Quentusrex: is this currently possible?
[06:51:27] wagner: there seems to be some patches for ati cards that allow the audio passthru to work
[06:51:53] wagner: ive also heard that some board with onboard graphics and sound cards will work using the spdif output
[06:52:34] wagner: you can also get an external multiplexer (but theyre expensive)

[06:53:47] Quentusrex: isn't spdif different than hdmi

[06:54:27] wagner: yes, spdif is digital coax, but i came across some forum stating thats how some Abit boards worked
[06:54:43] wagner: the 'spdif' channel in ALSA got routed through the hdmi port
[06:54:52] levander: I get this error when I use MythDVD. I remember it's common, but I don't remember what causes it: "ERROR: Failed while running mytharchivehelper to get stream information from "/var/lib/mythtv/videos/CONNECTIONS_DISC_1.iso"
[06:55:52] levander: Damn, google says it's because I'm trying to burn from an ISO.
[06:56:01] Quentusrex: so the linux driver(or bios driver) routes the spdif audio through the hdmi port+cable?
[06:56:39] wagner: the realtek chip, on certain abit boards, supposedly does
[06:56:59] wagner: nvidia rev 177 is available in beta
[06:57:39] Quentusrex: linux drivers?
[06:57:45] wagner: yes
[06:58:20] wagner: i assume thats for descrete cards with spdif passthru
[06:58:29] wagner: the cards have a spdif input on the board

[06:59:53] wagner: i dont know of any solutions (linux or windows) capable of spitting out the more advanced hdmi audio modes
[07:00:10] wagner: they all just use an spdif passthru
[07:00:16] levander: What ripping format should I choose for ripping a DVD, pulling it out of the myth box, putting a blank DVD in, the writing what you ripped to this blank DVD? I've been choosing ISO as the format, but now myth doesn't support burning ISO's.
[07:00:31] wagner: so there is no advantage in doing so, besides you have one cable instead of two
[07:02:42] wagner: there are much better programs available if youre just doing a dvd duplication
[07:03:05] levander: wagner: like?
[07:05:04] Quentusrex: wagner is there a way for mythtv to play blueray disks?
[07:05:33] wagner: dvdshrink can be run under WINE, K9Copy, dvdbackup
[07:05:44] Gumby: Im reading the mythtv.org wiki about the flash player and getting mythweb to stream compressed videos. It says at the top that it is outdated but doesnt say why. Can anyone tell me why this is so and where I might look for more current info?
[07:06:12] wagner: older bluray disks can be ripped to hard disk, have the aacs stripped, and subsequently be played from the hard disk
[07:06:30] wagner: there is no direct method to play bluray or hddvd
[07:06:48] wagner: also, newer bluray stuff uses BD+, which can only be stripped by anydvd, a windows app

[07:08:41] Gumby: I am already running 0.21
[07:09:04] wagner: if you open up one of the recordings, there should be an 'asx stream' option
[07:09:19] wagner: it may require VLC to be installed, ive never used it personally
[07:09:29] Gumby: yeah, its still too high bandwidth wise
[07:09:56] Gumby: maxes out my upload speed over the wan (~130kb/s)
[07:10:21] Gumby: I guess I need to transcode first possibly
[07:10:23] wagner: if you go into the settings section, mythweb, video playback
[07:10:30] wagner: you can set the resoution and bitrate for streaming
[07:10:51] Gumby: ok, I'll have a look there. thank you
[07:11:31] bfg: i have tried two different tuner's one pci and one usb and neither one is appaering in my computer
[07:11:44] bfg: how do i look to see if my computer can see they are pluged in ?
[07:12:24] wagner: lspci, lsusb
[07:12:59] bfg: thanks wagner :-)
[07:13:04] bfg: i was using lsmod and dmesg
[07:13:13] bfg: and no mention in either...
[07:13:17] bfg: will check lspci and lsusb
[07:13:20] bfg: thanks
[07:13:22] wagner: you may have to install packages
[07:13:33] wagner: they did not come preinstalled on my system (gentoo)
[07:14:03] wagner: if you have the drivers properly set up, or improperly set up, something should appear in dmesg
[07:14:06] bfg: lspci doesnt see the pci card
[07:14:15] bfg: checking lsusb to see if that sees the usb adaptor
[07:15:16] bfg: eMPIA Technoligy
[07:15:19] bfg: so it sees something
[07:15:27] bfg: but well – its not escriptitve
[07:15:39] bfg: i was told that bttv was part of the kernel insall on ubuntu
[07:15:45] bfg: so i was presuming it would be working
[07:15:55] bfg: the pci card was installed when the os was intalled
[07:15:56] wagner: i wouldnt know
[07:16:04] bfg: so it seemed logical that it should be detected and installed
[07:17:35] bfg: i get hal udi is /og/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ebla_2870_noserial_if0
[07:17:40] bfg: in syslog

[07:21:26] wagner: although i have mythweb running on a dedicated (virtual) machine
[07:21:45] wagner: so ive got to nfs mount the recordings, compile ffmpeg, update some other shut

[07:34:48] Gumby: ah, bingo
[07:35:12] Gumby: no audio, but thats an ffmpeg issue.
[07:35:44] Gumby: all howtos seem to say compile with --enable-mp3lame but the current cvs doesnt allow that as an option
[07:35:50] Gumby: which howto are you reading?
[07:35:52] wagner: heh
[07:36:08] wagner: none, im just doing it manually off what the error logs are telling me
[07:36:59] piksi: is mythbackend configurable from command line without the need for completely redundant gui setup?
[07:37:24] piksi: i mean – it just feels futile to install x on a server simply to configure the backend :-)
[07:37:49] wagner: so dont install X, only install the minimal X libraries and forward it to a box that has X
[07:38:13] wagner: or, use something like VNC
[07:38:30] otwin: piksi: X11 forwarding – have a look at ssh -X
[07:39:12] piksi: i know i can forward it but imo even the sole need of x for configuring is frustrating
[07:39:29] piksi: i'd just love to have a .conf in /etc
[07:39:41] wagner: well if youre feeling adventurous, you can manually program the SQL database
[07:39:46] wagner: but that is not advised
[07:40:12] otwin: piksi: all the config is done in a db, if you want CLI you can run mysql queries
[07:40:54] piksi: i know it pops the configs into a db, but a gui isn't mandatory for automating/facilitating such things ;-)
[07:41:05] piksi: and no, i don't have time for nonsense like configuring the db myself
[07:41:13] piksi: oh well, i'll just tunnel x to some other machine
[07:41:30] piksi: i was merely interested if there was another choice besides the x config
[07:41:45] wagner: at the moment, no
[07:42:34] wagner: although you need the libraries necessary for forwarding, to have compiled it in the first place
[07:42:43] wagner: so you shouldnt have to do anything additional

[07:55:09] levander: I think they all use the same backend.

[07:58:35] levander: wagner: Ah, so you're saying I could configure myth somehow so that it would run those commands to burn a dvd?
[07:58:59] levander: What is a purpose build program?
[07:59:06] levander: I guess that's what I don't understand.
[08:00:42] wagner: the mytharchive plugin was only intended to allow burning of recorded TV, it was never intended to duplicate DVDs
[08:01:05] wagner: so if it even can do it, youre going to have a hell of a time figuring out how to do so
[08:01:17] wagner: its better to do it on a desktop with one of those programs

[14:16:12] netpro25: thats why i went back to the apple tv its cheaper and its possible
[14:17:00] keith4: well, maybe for SD
[14:17:17] keith4: you're really better off with a mac mini, though
[14:17:18] netpro25: appletv? you dont think it will work for hd?

[14:18:58] netpro25: so I guess thats out of the question
[14:19:34] justinh: keith4: yup

[14:20:57] justinh: and will only play mpeg2 in linux
[14:21:13] justinh: .. at that res
[14:21:31] netpro25: as opposed to what format

[18:05:33] EvilGuru: I have seen servers which do 100+ I/O ops a second without breaking sweat

[18:06:32] wagner: the actual data can be held in memory for considerable time, but each write has to be immediately logged to non-volitile storage
[18:07:11] sebrock: wagner, no point in writing swap as its not even beeing used and kjournald should not do anything unless any process on the system did anything

[18:17:29] EvilGuru: thoraxe: Wouldn't make any sense
[18:17:38] EvilGuru: Most of the 'active' storage will most likely be XFS
[18:17:59] thoraxe: EvilGuru: is xfs the best fs to use for the video storage?

[18:19:00] thoraxe: EvilGuru: you'd use xfs/jfs over ext3 for video storage?
[18:19:06] EvilGuru: Without a doubt

[18:19:09] leprechau: sebrock, if you have a dedicated backend...why not go diskless on your frontends?

[18:19:27] sebrock: I was thinking that but suspend does not work very well
[18:19:41] thoraxe: wagner: define "large" ?
[18:19:47] sebrock: leprechau, however, is it a simple task to setup a diskless mythbuntu?
[18:19:48] EvilGuru: thoraxe: >2GiB or so
[18:19:51] wagner: large being multiple GB
[18:19:57] thoraxe: icic
[18:20:05] EvilGuru: Delete performance is also awful
[18:20:07] sebrock: got 1GB of 800mhz RAM right now
[18:20:09] leprechau: sebrock, it's really simple with the newest mythbuntu...it's builtin to mythcontrol center
[18:20:11] thoraxe: what about reiser?
[18:20:14] leprechau: makes your diskimages and all
[18:20:23] EvilGuru: thoraxe: It doesn't handle them at all
[18:20:24] sebrock: leprechau, and how does it boot?
[18:20:29] wagner: reiser is a jailed filesystem
[18:20:31] leprechau: sebrock, pxeboot
[18:20:32] sebrock: via backend?
[18:20:37] thoraxe: EvilGuru: lemme checkup on xfs
[18:20:45] PatrickDK: the more full reiser gets, the slower it gets :(
[18:20:50] sebrock: ye, my mobo is fairly new, however pxe is a bitch to setup right?
[18:20:59] leprechau: lol naw
[18:21:02] leprechau: pxe is simple
[18:21:03] iamlindoro_: $MurderJoke
[18:21:13] EvilGuru: And it suffers from fragmentation quite badly (ReiserFS)
[18:21:16] leprechau: sebrock, what handles dhcp on your network at home now?
[18:21:16] wagner: if you have a dhcp server, no
[18:21:32] wagner: if youre just using your router, it may take a bit of effory
[18:21:41] AndyCap: anyhow. with the main driver in jail and namesys.com defunct reiserfs isn not such a hot bet
[18:21:46] leprechau: well if you have some cheap dlink or something doing dhcp
[18:21:51] leprechau: just turn dhcp off there
[18:21:51] iamlindoro_: I hear ReisferFS is great when you're doing sliced encoding
[18:21:58] AndyCap: ahahaa
[18:21:59] leprechau: and let your mythbackend do dhcp for you
[18:22:00] EvilGuru: AndyCap: No real differences. They abandoned it ages ago
[18:22:05] leprechau: that makes it really simple

[18:22:25] wagner: is ReiserFS on the cutting edge?
[18:22:39] ** EvilGuru thought he used a blunt objects **
[18:22:51] sebrock: leprechau, a gigabit router
[18:22:54] abqjp (abqjp!n=john@nat3.blueskytours.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:23:09] wagner: sebrock: that wont do
[18:23:17] sebrock: see I knew it
[18:23:19] leprechau: sebrock, well unless you have ddwrt running on it you prolly can't modify it to do pxe
[18:23:30] sebrock: god dammit
[18:23:33] wagner: to be honest, i dont even know if you can do pxe off of the dnsmasq in ddwrt
[18:23:39] ** PatrickDK wonders what is classified as a gigabit router these days? **
[18:23:43] leprechau: sebrock, it's still easy though....just turn dhcp off on that router...and then let your mythbuntu box do dhcp for you
[18:24:06] thoraxe: PatrickDK: a router that has gige ports?
[18:24:06] sebrock: leprechau, that will kill my other machines
[18:24:14] leprechau: sebrock, lol not it won't
[18:24:36] leprechau: sebrock, your dhcp server can be any machine in your network ... it doesn't have to be on your router
[18:24:38] PatrickDK: ok, I wonder at people that call their little netgear/linksys things routers :)
[18:24:45] wagner: thoraxe: hes commenting on the fact that such routers couldnt possibly route a gigabit of traffic to their uplink
[18:24:58] leprechau: sebrock, dhcp broadcasts and dhcp clients search for dhcp servers via broadcast
[18:24:59] AndyCap: dnsmasq can do pxe iirc.
[18:25:23] sebrock: leprechau, yes I know but that backend isnt running all day long :D
[18:25:25] PatrickDK: wagner, I have seen them max out somewhere between 50–80mbit depending on model :)
[18:25:39] thoraxe: wagner: huh?
[18:25:41] leprechau: sebrock, well then that's a problem

[18:26:11] thoraxe: what good is a PVR if it's off?
[18:26:13] leprechau: sebrock, but then again...I have 4 other boxes out in the garage that never shut off either
[18:26:23] wagner: the backend is what actually does the recording
[18:26:29] AndyCap: just wait until he misses a recording because he forgot to turn it on before going on vacation
[18:26:30] wagner: the frontend is just what you view it with

[18:27:44] AndyCap: PatrickDK: through mind control, it's telepathetic
[18:27:58] thoraxe: i mean, you could maybe do something where you like spin down drives and nic and stuff with power settings and then power everything back up before a recording

[18:32:30] thoraxe: wagner: who doesn't?

[18:34:47] sebrock: this will be exciting :D
[18:34:55] directhex: tentacular!
[18:35:09] thoraxe: sebrock: reinstalling 7.10 or #mythtv-hentai ?
[18:35:52] wagner: so the new version of the backend will reach out and rape the frontends?
[18:35:54] iamlindoro_: yes!

[18:44:47] sebrock: or did I mixup the art of wrestling with NFL?
[18:45:42] wagner: you know, i played soccer all through grade school and high school, but i always just found it so boring to watch
[18:46:15] thoraxe: sebrock: most sports are "real" sports. american football and football both have things that make them hard
[18:46:17] sebrock: wagner, that was my opinion aswell before... now I also enjoy watching it

[18:48:31] sebrock: thoraxe, in more ways than you know :)
[18:48:40] thoraxe: sebrock: both can be boring. both can be really exciting, too

[18:50:50] wagner: i dont care about it being physical, its all just boring
[18:50:53] thoraxe: PatrickDK: heh beat me to it
[18:51:04] AndyCap: the event? then I guess soccers ancestor must be the ultimate.
[18:51:08] thoraxe: GreyFoxx: nascar is exciting because of crashing and passing. that's about it, heh
[18:51:09] wagner: if im not actively playing it, it just doesnt interest me

[20:30:01] jthomas__: Yeah- I actually didn't set up any of the hardware, it's sitting 3000 miles away from me in India.
[20:30:07] jthomas__: I'm getting some lose details back and forth about it.
[20:30:31] Dibblah: Sure – But you won't be able to get the full frequency range.
[20:30:39] Dibblah: Well, not out of one port.
[20:30:59] Dibblah: And you'll only be able to see H or V polarised transponders.
[20:31:53] jthomas__: So, essentially I'm limited to some range of H/V polarized frequencies depending on which port I'm connected to?

[20:32:03] Dibblah: That's the bit the switch does – It looks at combinations of LNB supply voltage and "tone" presence, then routes the right signal from the LNB to that port.
[20:32:37] Dibblah: Yes. You'll also have to configure Myth to know about the LNB type.
[20:32:54] Dibblah: Specifically, the local oscillator frequency of the port you're using.
[20:33:14] Dibblah: However, you would be much easier just buying a normal universal LNB – They're not expensive.

[21:21:42] PatrickDK: but that was pre 0.19
[21:23:50] oweiler: Since replay doesn't have digital tuners and I don't relish the thought of having to get 4 converter boxes for them, I'm moving to MythTV, though dvarchive seems like a good way to make a replaytv box look kinda like a front end and it sounds like PatrickDK has already done just that

[21:49:17] PatrickDK: dunno italian at all
[21:49:29] PatrickDK: they just told me I needed to learn a language in school
[21:49:39] PatrickDK: so I picked spanish, as the most likely one I might use in real life
[21:49:51] PatrickDK: and it came easily to me
[21:50:15] stuarta: i find it flows quite nicely
[21:50:18] PatrickDK: then I was around it for a few years at work, so that helped fill in the crap schools leave out
[21:50:43] xris: spanish is easy.. ( so says the one who learned it at 9)
[21:50:55] stuarta: the exceptions in the grammer seem to fit naturally into the flow of the speaking
[21:51:03] stuarta: if that makes sense
