[00:01:11] | jams: | wolfspirit- can you expand on that one? do you mean change channels on a cable box? |
[00:01:41] | wolfspirit: | jams: actually it just answered my question.. it changed the channel to the station that I set to record |
[00:01:48] | jams: | ok |
[00:02:21] | jams: | well that would be silly for it to not change the channel when it's time to record |
[00:03:07] | wolfspirit: | why? if you have multiple tuners you may want to watch something while another is recording |
[00:03:38] | jams: | yes and you can do that |

[00:17:12] | Coroh: | jams: specific |
[00:17:42] | iamlindoro: | Then you will need to be equally specific in return |
[00:17:43] | Coroh: | to make one box.... low cost.. and complete |
[00:17:52] | iamlindoro: | regarding what you intend to do, what you hope to capture, where you live, etc. |
[00:18:06] | iamlindoro: | no such thing as being too detailed |
[00:18:07] | iamlindoro: | go |
[00:18:46] | wolfspirit: | anyone have digital aritifacts and glitches in their recordings if you paused during a recording and fast forwarded about 3 minutes or so? |
[00:19:24] | Coroh: | wait... |
[00:19:39] | Coroh: | i will clese some channels |
[00:19:45] | Coroh: | cose* |
[00:21:24] | Coroh: | the capture card.. is the first problem... where were i live ... digital TV is too new... no capture card yet |

[00:22:01] | Coroh: | but we can start plan to by other thynks like Motherbord... CPU.. memory |
[00:22:05] | iamlindoro: | from Hauppauge |
[00:22:31] | Coroh: | i will use a bt 878 for a wille |
[00:22:32] | iamlindoro: | For CPU, if you intend to do Hi Definition eventually, buy a mid to high range Intel Core 2 Duo |
[00:22:33] | Coroh: | ok? |
[00:22:47] | iamlindoro: | bt878 sucks, but if you don't want to spend, that's up to you |
[00:22:52] | Coroh: | hummm... |

[00:27:44] | Coroh: | im to |
[00:28:07] | Coroh: | a full remote control would be fine |
[00:28:15] | fryfrog: | so an internal hdmi nvidia card, does it pass audio? |
[00:28:27] | Coroh: | fryfrog : yes |
[00:28:28] | fryfrog: | or does it have like a... internal coax connector or something to pass it along ? |
[00:28:57] | fryfrog: | what about a non-integrated hdmi card? |
[00:28:59] | Coroh: | fryfrog : i dont no... but MSI have one with this feature |
[00:29:07] | fryfrog: | also, above i meant "integrated" not "internal" |
[00:29:10] | iamlindoro: | fryfrog, some pass it straight through, some have a jumper |
[00:29:15] | fryfrog: | ah |
[00:29:17] | fryfrog: | neat |
[00:29:43] | Coroh: | fryfrog : jut the new.. no legacy devices |
[00:29:46] | fryfrog: | when i have to build a beefy system to use an hd-pvr, i'll have to make sure i get one that does that. |
[00:31:00] | Coroh: | im thinking about integrate a WI-FI AP in this box to |
[00:32:35] | Coroh: | my idea is make a Static and full All-in-ONE system |
[00:32:50] | fryfrog: | you mean a wifi *card*? |
[00:32:56] | fryfrog: | also, what do you mean by "static"? |
[00:33:51] | Coroh: | fryfrog: yes,... wifi card... but it must have work in AP mode |
[00:35:27] | Coroh: | fryfrog: static... let me explain better. |

[00:40:49] | justinh: | to play h.264 HDTV you will need a fast CPU. Think more power than a core2 duo at 2Ghz |
[00:41:32] | Coroh: | every thing what a want will be in this box .. all my videos, photos, musics |
[00:42:06] | justinh: | h.264 HDTV is very difficult to play in linux. There is no hardware acceleration for h.264 playback in linux yet |
[00:42:13] | Coroh: | justinh: realy? well tanks |
[00:42:49] | Coroh: | yeh... i was thinking use sftware to decode |
[00:44:47] | Coroh: | calculating ....wow... 2500,00 US dollars |
[00:46:39] | justinh: | I thought computer stuff was cheaper in Japan |
[00:47:11] | Coroh: | japan is far |
[00:47:21] | Coroh: | im im brazil |

[00:48:56] | Coroh: | i will be back in 30 minutes. |
[00:49:03] | fryfrog: | you can get away with pretty low cpu for 720p h264 content usually |
[00:49:27] | fryfrog: | my 4200+ handles that, but *chokes* on 1080p and i'm sure it'd choke on a ripped hd-dvd or blu-ray |
[00:49:42] | justinh: | not broadcast HDTV though fryfrog. AVC encoding is tough |
[00:49:55] | fryfrog: | wow, who broadcasts in h264? |
[00:50:01] | fryfrog: | in the US, all we gots are mpeg2 hd |
[00:50:13] | justinh: | everywhere apart from the US & Canada |
[00:50:19] | fryfrog: | ahah |
[00:50:26] | fryfrog: | its *good* to be in the US :p |
[00:50:33] | fryfrog: | we have such an awesome and smart president |
[00:50:37] | fryfrog: | also, everyone loves us |
[00:50:46] | fryfrog: | and our economy! could it *be* any stronger? |
[00:50:58] | justinh: | nearly. your HD is < 18mbit mpeg2. BBCHD is about 18mbit h.264 AVC |
[00:51:06] | justinh: | heh |
[00:51:49] | justinh: | apparently one or more of your satellite/cable suppliers over there are changing to h.264 too |

[00:53:04] | HaSH: | i have compiled coreavc into mplayer b4 and it seemed to help playback x264 much better |
[00:53:06] | justinh: | I think we've all taken video playback so much for granted on PCs for the last few years. It took h.264 broadcast HD coming along to shake that up a bit |
[00:53:15] | HaSH: | not sure if anyone here has tried it before. |
[00:53:45] | HaSH: | i even think there are patches for mythtv with coreavc too |
[00:53:52] | justinh: | HaSH: with ffmpeg h,264 playback improving all the time coreavc won't be needed before long |
[00:54:40] | HaSH: | ah well last time i tried playing high bitrate x264 on my core2duo it had trouble playing....with the compiled in coreavc it played much smoother |
[00:56:56] | iamlindoro: | wheeee, x264 == still not a codec name |

[02:52:26] | wagnerrp: | mpeg2 is a 20yr old codec |
[02:53:38] | wagnerrp: | of course mpeg4 is still about a decade old |
[02:53:52] | iamlindoro: | you have your factors wrong, though, it's not 4–6x |

[02:54:23] | iamlindoro: | h.264 at 60% of the bandwidth is supposed ot be the same |
[02:54:29] | iamlindoro: | wagnerrp, yes, and that's not 4–6x |
[02:54:46] | iamlindoro: | That would mean that a 1 GB h.264 file was the same as a 4–6 GB MPEG-2 |

[04:31:56] | iamlindoro: | sphery, This will not deter people from making wild statements that the information is unavailable, however |
[04:33:08] | iamlindoro: | In other news, some recent commit has caused some broken OSD behavior, just haven't figured out which yet |
[04:33:20] | sphery: | broken how? |
[04:33:39] | ** sphery is currently enjoying watching TV on his -fixes production systems ** | |
[04:34:37] | iamlindoro: | need to check the exact behavior, but minimally, start playing an in-progress recording. Edit it. The edit amount will always reflect the amount there was at the start, and not a moment further. Attempting to scroll forward dumps you back the the menu |
[04:34:48] | iamlindoro: | This is with 18596 or so |
[04:35:07] | sphery: | hmmmm.... Don't know off hand what would have caused that. |
[04:35:22] | iamlindoro: | This is changed from the old behavior where the editable amount updated with time, and if you attempted to edit past the endpoint, it would update with the "new" available amount |
[04:35:51] | sphery: | I didn't even know you could edit an in-progress recording |
[04:36:11] | iamlindoro: | It *may* be more severe than that and be *unplayable* past the amount available at the start, but I can't check that until next recording |
[04:37:09] | iamlindoro: | example was the office tonight, which I started at about 10 past-- I watched to the first commercial break and went to edit it out, and found I only had ten minutes available. |

[04:47:50] | jmichelsen: | I am trying to set up a remote for my mythtv/comp using an ATI wonder remote 5000015900A , its like the oldest remote there is but I am having trouble, has anyone used this same remote? all settings look ok but irw receives no signal |
[04:48:30] | sphery: | jmichelsen: using one right now |
[04:48:38] | sphery: | (need to recharge the batteries, though) |
[04:48:51] | jmichelsen: | sphery: what distro are you on? |
[04:49:01] | jmichelsen: | sphery: glad to hear itworks though lol |
[04:49:02] | sphery: | none, really |
[04:49:04] | sphery: | long story |
[04:49:26] | jmichelsen: | sphery: haha well, are you using the reciever that came with it? 5000015900b |
[04:49:53] | sphery: | generally, though, if irw doesn't pick up button presses, it's either a problem with the lircd.conf or with the lirc daemon/drivers |
[04:50:00] | sphery: | which driver are you trying to use? |
[04:50:11] | jmichelsen: | sphery: and do you have any pointers for me? I once got it to display input with a mode2 command, its been a long time trying to get this working, maybe 2 weeks |
[04:50:21] | jmichelsen: | lirc_atiusb |
[04:50:57] | sphery: | I'm using atilibusb |
[04:51:11] | jmichelsen: | sphery: and i think my lirc deamon is not starting properly, when i do /etc/init.d/lirc start, it says failed, though stop and restart say ok |
[04:51:26] | jmichelsen: | sphery: i see no lirc in top either |
[04:51:40] | sphery: | yeah, sounds like it's the lirc daemon, then |
[04:52:04] | sphery: | I know it fails to start until you find just the right magic |
[04:52:11] | jmichelsen: | could it be because of the lircd.conf? |
[04:52:15] | jmichelsen: | lol yea |
[04:52:18] | sphery: | and, unfortunately, to me, finding it was in fact magic |
[04:52:49] | sphery: | (meaning I didn't really understand how it all worked--I just got it working and forgot about it) |
[04:52:56] | jmichelsen: | ic |
[04:53:32] | sphery: | I'm also using an old version of LIRC, and there may be a newer suggested driver for the ATI RW, but I like atilibusb because it didn't require a kernel module. |
[04:53:49] | sphery: | I think atiusb requires a kernel module |
[04:54:08] | jmichelsen: | but would the mod cause lirc to not load? |
[04:54:28] | sphery: | If so, it's critical that you a) do not allow the kernel's ATI RW input-subsystem module to load (the one that treats the RW like a keyboard) and b) have th ekernel module loaded |
[04:55:08] | jmichelsen: | to use atilibusb? |
[04:55:38] | sphery: | actually, your choice of LIRC driver is best determined by your packager, so whichever one they expected you to use is the best |
[04:56:11] | sphery: | (and, obviously, only someone using your distro would be able to help figure that out--if it's ubuntu-based, #ubuntu-mythtv may have more info) |
[04:56:19] | jmichelsen: | well i am assuming either of the two it autostarted when plugging in the reciever? |
[04:56:22] | jmichelsen: | ah cool |
[04:56:32] | jmichelsen: | man well at least i am sure this remote will work lol |
[04:56:35] | sphery: | did you do an lsmod | grep ati |
[04:56:39] | jmichelsen: | yea |
[04:56:48] | sphery: | yeah, it works great enough :) |
[04:57:17] | jmichelsen: | when first plugged in it had lirc_atiusb and ati_remote |
[04:57:22] | sphery: | meaning the RF is awesome, but the reliability leaves something to be desired (the more people I have in my viewing room, the more interference/the less reliable the remote is) |
[04:57:31] | jmichelsen: | ah its working |
[04:57:33] | jmichelsen: | !!!! |
[04:57:38] | sphery: | ati_remote is the kernel's input system driver |
[04:57:43] | sphery: | needs to be blacklisted or something |
[04:57:45] | jmichelsen: | ati_remote worked |
[04:57:50] | jmichelsen: | lirc one didnt |
[04:57:57] | sphery: | ati_remote is using it like a keyboard |
[04:58:04] | jmichelsen: | ah right |
[04:58:16] | sphery: | so you have to remap all of Myth's keys to the ones used by the kernel's keyboard definition for the remote |
[04:58:21] | sphery: | LIRC is the way to go |
[04:58:27] | jmichelsen: | dang |
[04:58:28] | sphery: | blacklist ati_remote, reboot, then try LIRC |
[04:58:32] | jmichelsen: | well thats a start at least haha |
[04:58:36] | jmichelsen: | ok il try that |
[04:59:21] | sphery: | basically, just a "blacklist ati_remote" in /etc/modprobe.conf (or the /etc/modprobe.d/<somefile> stuff that I think *buntu uses) |
[04:59:23] | jmichelsen: | be back in a bit, thanks for the pointers |
[04:59:27] | sphery: | gl |
[04:59:31] | jmichelsen: | oh |
[04:59:33] | jmichelsen: | one more thing |
[04:59:50] | jmichelsen: | maybe distro specific but what config files are there? |
[04:59:58] | sphery: | for Myth? |
[04:59:59] | jmichelsen: | /etc/lircd.conf and what else?? |
[05:00:01] | jmichelsen: | yea |
[05:00:02] | sphery: | Oh |
[05:00:02] | iamlindoro: | yeah, think it's /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in #ubnti |
[05:00:17] | iamlindoro: | er *bunti |
[05:00:18] | jmichelsen: | iamlindoro: thanks, it is, got it blacklisted and ready for reboot |
[05:00:37] | sphery: | /etc/lircd.conf maps signals to button names. ~/.mythtv/lircrc or ~/.lircrc maps button names to application events |
[05:01:12] | jmichelsen: | what about ~/.mythtv/lirc/mythtv |

[10:26:55] | justinh: | safe? trunk won't result in your house being burned down :) |
[10:27:14] | PilotChris: | but my wife would, if it doesn't ;-) |

[10:32:54] | Sulx: | yup |
[10:33:09] | Sulx: | otherwise I would be dead |
[10:33:52] | PilotChris: | would you say it is stable enough to let it be operated by 3 daus? |
[10:33:58] | Sulx: | and yes...also myth trunk |
[10:34:12] | Sulx: | stable yes |
[10:34:20] | Sulx: | at least backend is |
[10:34:38] | Sulx: | mainly only problems are with the plugins |
[10:34:49] | PilotChris: | ... hmmm ... that's fine. |
[10:35:07] | PilotChris: | backend and frontend without plugins would be sufficient for now |
[10:35:47] | Sulx: | plugins are not unusable unstable |
[10:36:09] | fietsbel: | can anyone help me with a dvb-c card? |
[10:36:20] | PilotChris: | main thing would be that watching tv (dvb-s) works at least as it did with previous versions... |
[10:36:41] | PilotChris: | what problem do you have with dvb-c |
[10:36:42] | PilotChris: | ? |
[10:37:00] | fietsbel: | mythtv isn't able to find any channels |
[10:37:57] | PilotChris: | hmm... large range of possible problems... what did you do to get it running until now? |
[10:38:14] | fietsbel: | well. at the moment I'm trying to run kaffeine |
[10:38:20] | fietsbel: | I want to make sure my card is working ifrst |
[10:38:27] | fietsbel: | but haven't been able to get any output yet |
[10:38:27] | justinh: | PilotChris: it's trunk. YMMV |
[10:39:52] | justinh: | PilotChris: there's no pressing need to upgrade anyway unless you're a HD-PVR user |
[10:40:10] | justinh: | certainly nothing in terms of stuff you'll notice immediately |

[10:44:34] | fietsbel: | you mean scan? |
[10:44:41] | PilotChris: | yup |
[10:44:51] | fietsbel: | with a file |
[10:44:52] | fietsbel: | I made |
[10:44:56] | fietsbel: | with frequencys in it |
[10:45:08] | PilotChris: | justinh: i have read through commit logs, and there were two stability fixes that would apply for me |
[10:45:27] | justinh: | so eat it up then |
[10:46:44] | PilotChris: | fietsbel: does scan work with frequencies generated by |
[10:46:53] | PilotChris: | w_scan -fc -x > initial_tuning_data.txt |
[10:46:54] | PilotChris: | ? |
[10:48:17] | justinh: | fietsbel was here yesterday with the same problem. NOT LISTENING |
[10:49:03] | PilotChris: | justinh: build of head running ;-) :'S |
[10:55:29] | fietsbel: | justinh it's not the same problem |
[10:55:31] | justinh: | and btw if mythtv fails with your digital cable provider, that's just God's way of saying you should use other pvr software |
[10:56:50] | fietsbel: | hmm that's werid |

[12:31:14] | PilotChris: | fietsbel: but you did find channels with mythtv before? |
[12:31:27] | JEDIDIAH_: | if it doesn't link... then mebbe something is missing. The mythtv configure script isn't terribly robust. I usually end up adding dependencies during the build. |
[12:32:23] | JEDIDIAH_: | there's also the new QT with trunk and associated webkit/mythbrowser difficulties. |
[12:32:51] | PilotChris: | i just built a gcc 4.3.2 as my old gcc (3.???) was not sufficient to build mythtv. is it possible that libstdc++.so.5 is left over by an old gcc installation? |
[12:34:55] | PilotChris: | Oh, it seems that the linker searches for something regarding gcc 4.2 (which i had installed intermediately) . how can i tell the configure script just to use most current libs? |

[12:41:05] | PilotChris: | perhaps you could find someone using ziggo as cable provider who has got it running, but for so long, you have to stick with the instructions contained in the link i posted. i am not sure if it is possible at all, as there seems to exist heavy problems with ziggo (and other cable providers) |
[12:41:07] | justinh: | probably because they do a load of non-standard crap |
[12:41:13] | fietsbel: | hmm |
[12:41:22] | PilotChris: | justinh: thanks, i typed too slow ;-) |
[12:41:27] | fietsbel: | It's finding channels now though |
[12:41:31] | fietsbel: | PilotChris |
[12:41:34] | fietsbel: | it found a few more now |
[12:41:48] | PilotChris: | but as i understand, it will loose channels on first try to tune |
[12:41:58] | fietsbel: | don't knoiw about that |
[12:42:06] | fietsbel: | it's now scanning transport ID |
[12:42:11] | fietsbel: | what does that mena? |
[12:42:11] | justinh: | what kind of name for a company is ziggo anyway |
[12:42:29] | fietsbel: | what are transport id's ? |
[12:42:53] | justinh: | oh look what I found by googling for 'ziggo cable mythtv' : http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Channel_ . . . n_with_DVB-C |
[12:43:03] | PilotChris: | fietsbel: don't you have the possibility to switch over to dvb-s? astra satelites are verified to work as a charm with mythtv |
[12:44:57] | justinh: | ziggo is broken, and it's known to be broken. |
[12:45:10] | justinh: | and they don't acknowledge there's a problem |
[12:47:30] | justinh: | so you basically have 3 choices. 1. give up now. 2. switch providers or 3. do both 1 & 2 |
[12:48:18] | justinh: | cable providers are always doing this retarded stuff. they do all kinds of weird things that fly in the face of DVB STANDARDS. |
[12:48:55] | justinh: | but hey – it always works with the STBs they give/sell you so why would they worry? ;) |
[12:51:53] | fietsbel: | ok guys |
[12:52:10] | fietsbel: | I found some numbers |
[12:52:22] | fietsbel: | I should enter 356,00 mhz and network number 1111 into mythtv |
[12:52:24] | fietsbel: | how can I do this? |
[12:52:33] | fietsbel: | I found this information in the stuff provided by my cable company |
[12:56:03] | justinh: | heh. looking up more results for 'ziggo cable mythtv' finds lots & lots of illegal stuff |
[12:57:17] | justinh: | fietsbel: in the channel scanner page.. opt to do a tuned scan & put those numbers into the boxes |
[12:57:28] | justinh: | like you were told to do yesterday |
[12:57:32] | fietsbel: | where can I put the 1111 ? |
[12:57:35] | fietsbel: | in what box? |
[12:57:43] | justinh: | if you had listened to what people were telling you... grrrr |
[12:58:17] | fietsbel: | sorry dude, I'm new to this dvb-c used a hauppauge 500 before that |
[12:58:31] | fietsbel: | I entered the hertz...but have no idea where to put the 1111 |
[12:59:16] | justinh: | this is the snag with mythtv. it expects to find stuff like the network ID in tables which are broadcast on the stream. Oh you know.. like the DVB spec says should happen |
[13:00:53] | fietsbel: | ok....any way I can work around that? |
[13:02:42] | justinh: | probably not |
[13:02:51] | justinh: | this is why people say ziggo is BROKEN |
[13:03:12] | fietsbel: | meaning there's NO way I can watch? |
[13:03:56] | justinh: | yup. you're screwed |
[13:04:04] | justinh: | thank ziggo |
[13:04:17] | fietsbel: | well justinh how come settop boxes work with it then? |
[13:04:36] | justinh: | because set top boxes are NOT MYTHTV |
[13:04:48] | justinh: | it's simple |
[13:04:55] | fietsbel: | so basically it's a combination of mythtv and ziggo which is failing |
[13:05:09] | justinh: | ziggo do out of spec stuff which the STBs happen to support |
[13:05:22] | justinh: | VDR might work |

[14:48:35] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | PsychoI3oy: You have to remember that commercial detection is a moving target — and broadcasters are 'keen' to how we're detecting commercials, and are coming out with ways to 'break/fool' it... |
[14:48:46] | PsychoI3oy: | right |
[14:48:58] | PsychoI3oy: | but it gives up indexing the incomming mpeg stream entirely |
[14:49:23] | PsychoI3oy: | such that after a certain point, skipping back/forward/up/down doesn't matter, it skips 5 seconds forward, and comes up garbled for 3 frames after |
[14:49:36] | PsychoI3oy: | part of that is imperfect reception, I'm sure |

[15:01:28] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Are those any good? They basically create heat with an electrical short, right? Just doesn't seem like a good idea for small electronics stuff that I usually do... |
[15:01:55] | PsychoI3oy: | that's what I've heard |
[15:02:07] | PsychoI3oy: | I've seen the basic one used on hak5 for electronics, though |
[15:02:34] | PsychoI3oy: | and the 30w radio shack i have is perfect for electronics, as long as I stay away from this newfangled solder |
[15:02:40] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Yikes, alot of HD around you, but all around you... 95% of our stations are right in Boston... one direction for me, so the yagi works great! |
[15:03:04] | wagnerrp: | the short (or whatever) is inside the device, and then they have a solid carbon probe on the end |

[15:03:06] | PsychoI3oy: | like I said, the 4 I actually care about are on the same hill |
[15:03:21] | wagnerrp: | apparently it has very high heat transfer, with no thermal inertia |
[15:03:49] | wagnerrp: | problem is more that the probe is large, so its not very good for precise soldering work |
[15:04:02] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | wagnerrp: Humm.. maybe that's the 2nd generation one? The 1st generation one I saw first-hand had a 'fork' tip to it... |
[15:04:09] | PsychoI3oy: | KDVR, KCNC, KUSA and KMGH |
[15:04:21] | PsychoI3oy: | KUSA and KMGH being my problem children right now |
[15:04:30] | PsychoI3oy: | J-e-f-f-A|work, they all do |
[15:04:45] | wagnerrp: | J-e-f-f-A|work: so did the one i saw at work, but it certainly did not arc while in use |
[15:05:03] | PsychoI3oy: | wagnerrp, i got a conical tip when i ordered the thing |
[15:05:04] | wagnerrp: | unless maybe it arcs across the solder bead |
[15:05:15] | PsychoI3oy: | it comes with a chisel tip that's effing huge for electronics |
[15:05:17] | wagnerrp: | thats a possibility |
[15:05:29] | PsychoI3oy: | the videos I saw showed a minor arc |
[15:05:46] | PsychoI3oy: | no worse than a door knob after carpet+ socks |
[15:05:48] | ** J-e-f-f-A|work thinks he'll just stick to his tiny 1mm 30w iron... ;-) ** | |
[15:05:54] | PsychoI3oy: | but tha's plenty to fry electronics |
[15:06:08] | PsychoI3oy: | eventually I'd love a nice adjustable soldering station |
[15:06:22] | PsychoI3oy: | but I don't solder that much so the $100+ isn't worth it |
[15:06:58] | PsychoI3oy: | and like I said, I have no alkaline AAs, so I have no experience with this yet |
[15:07:29] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | PsychoI3oy: Hey, did you look into 'cooling racks' for your rear reflector? I actually bought some at a dollar store to build an antenna like yours, but it never made the "Round-Tuit" list... |

[15:07:45] | PsychoI3oy: | no but that's a good idea |
[15:07:57] | PsychoI3oy: | i used one of my oven racks by hand to see if it boosted the gain |
[15:08:10] | PsychoI3oy: | but it's not big enough for this thing |
[15:08:16] | PsychoI3oy: | 2 of them still wouldn't be wide enough |
[15:08:42] | PsychoI3oy: | the concensus on the avsforums is to use some sort of wire fencing or concrete reinforcing 'construction mesh/fabric' |
[15:08:50] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | But an oven rack is pretty big, with big wires. A cake cooling rack is smaller, with smaller wires, closer together. Granted, you'd have to use like 8 or more of them for your rig, but it might work well... |
[15:09:01] | PsychoI3oy: | hmm |

[15:09:27] | PsychoI3oy: | for the UHF range, anything under 1" of horizontal separation is overkill |
[15:09:37] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | ... and at a Dollar store, they're $1 each... sometimes even $1 for 2! (usually anyways!) |
[15:09:41] | PsychoI3oy: | hmm |
[15:09:52] | PsychoI3oy: | i'll have to look for a dollar store around |
[15:10:17] | PsychoI3oy: | i've been here 5 years but haven't really explored much |
[15:10:53] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Would you get better reception with bare copper vs covered wire? Or does it not make a difference for that antenna? |

[15:11:13] | PsychoI3oy: | theoretically, i might gain half a db by stripping everything |
[15:11:30] | PsychoI3oy: | but i'd probably mess up the wire in the process |
[15:11:39] | PsychoI3oy: | not that it couldn't be straighter as it is |
[15:11:47] | PsychoI3oy: | 14ga is just too easy to bedn |
[15:11:48] | PsychoI3oy: | bend |
[15:12:34] | PsychoI3oy: | at this point anything I don't catch well in a recording can be found on hulu or the like, so I'm really not gonna worry about the antenna too much till after feb 2k9 |

[15:13:57] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Do you find it as patehetic as I do with all the sales talk that "Your TV will no longer work after Feb 2009!" Yeah, right... It'll work fine with Cable, Sat or a converter box... Oh, and your old roof-top antenna isn't HD Compatible... Yeah, right... |
[15:14:09] | PsychoI3oy: | heh |
[15:14:11] | PsychoI3oy: | yeah |
[15:14:23] | PsychoI3oy: | my analog cable will still be analog |
[15:14:36] | PsychoI3oy: | i just got the hd card to see how much better it looks |
[15:14:43] | PsychoI3oy: | it's definitely worth it |
[15:15:04] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | So... your cableco isn't supplying the locals in HD for you? |
[15:15:05] | PsychoI3oy: | actually, i really only got it cause i needed a second tuner for some shows this season |
[15:15:11] | PsychoI3oy: | oh, they are |
[15:15:24] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | So why do you need the antenna?!? |
[15:15:25] | PsychoI3oy: | i just don't feel like messing with an ir blaster for the digital box |
[15:15:38] | PsychoI3oy: | they don't do hd unless you have the digital box |
[15:15:48] | PsychoI3oy: | (unless it's hidden in the QAM streams) |
[15:15:50] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | ir blasters aren't that bad. |
[15:16:01] | PsychoI3oy: | digital cable costs a little more |
[15:16:05] | PsychoI3oy: | don't feel like it |
[15:16:11] | PsychoI3oy: | building the antenna was a fun project |
[15:16:22] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | PsychoI3oy: They're supposed to provide the Locals in the clear for free. (assuming you're an HD customer I think) |
[15:16:34] | PsychoI3oy: | if it weren't for mythbusters and a few other shows, i'd ditch the cable alltogether |
[15:16:48] | PsychoI3oy: | i just pay for the 99 channels of basic analog cable |
[15:17:16] | PsychoI3oy: | I know I have QAM channels available, but didn't see any that I cared about |
[15:17:33] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | PsychoI3oy: Yeah, me too. ;-) Discovery, TLC, USA network... That's what I watch mostly... ;-) (plus locals) |
[15:17:39] | PsychoI3oy: | sup |
[15:17:42] | PsychoI3oy: | erm, yup |
[15:18:05] | PsychoI3oy: | mythbusters, dirty jobs, american chopper |
[15:18:26] | PsychoI3oy: | plus the analog's nice when there's 2 things on broadcast that I want to record at the same time |
[15:18:29] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Check, Check, Check... ;-) |

[15:22:21] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | PsychoI3oy: With 3 tuners, I never got any conflicts. With just 2 SD tuners, I get some conflicts now. Maybe I'll throw the PVR-150 back in and put the 3rd dish receiver back in the mix... |
[15:22:25] | PsychoI3oy: | other than that, most of my scheduling works |
[15:22:26] | sphery: | I have 4 capture cards and I have a conflict on Monday nights (and Chuck keeps getting pushed because of the Saturday showing, then the Saturday showing doesn't show, so I'm missing Chuck). |
[15:22:47] | PsychoI3oy: | sphery, that sucks |
[15:23:00] | sphery: | yeah, stupid network promising to air a show then not doing it... :( |
[15:23:19] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | You can probably view it online now, but I think it requires winblows. |
[15:23:21] | PsychoI3oy: | I accidentally recorded Life on Mars last night because of that |
[15:23:25] | sphery: | I'm having to manually correct, now |
[15:23:36] | PsychoI3oy: | J-e-f-f-A|work, Hulu works in ff3/gentoo for me |
[15:23:41] | sphery: | they had LoM instead of something else? |
[15:23:55] | ** PsychoI3oy ashamed to admit this: ** | |
[15:24:01] | PsychoI3oy: | I wanted to record Ugly Betty |
[15:24:11] | sphery: | lol |
[15:24:13] | PsychoI3oy: | it's normally 7pm (MDT) on ABC |
[15:24:25] | ** sphery doesn't mention his recording rule for that one ** | |
[15:24:34] | PsychoI3oy: | for some reason this week the scheduling seemed to oscilate between 7pm and 9pm |
[15:24:43] | PsychoI3oy: | the last update yesterday morning put it back at 9pm |
[15:24:49] | PsychoI3oy: | so it record LoM |
[15:25:00] | PsychoI3oy: | but I watched the first 10 minutes of it and it looks interesting |
[15:25:13] | ** PsychoI3oy never finds out about new stuff because of mythcommflag ** | |
[15:25:26] | sphery: | So, now I wonder if my Ugly Betty and LoM are mis-labeled |
[15:25:47] | PsychoI3oy: | might be |

[15:25:58] | PsychoI3oy: | might have just been the Denver area schedule for it |
[15:26:19] | PsychoI3oy: | 15 watt? |
[15:26:27] | PsychoI3oy: | will that even melt silver solder? |

[15:26:56] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | max 1050 |
[15:27:04] | sphery: | Hmmm. My Ugly Betty preview is definitely Betty. And the LoM preview is definitely not Betty, so I think they're right (unless, of course, it just--by pure chance--happened to have a commflagging issue that resulted in a commbreak being shown as part of the episode and the preview generated just happened to generate a preview using a commercial for the opposite show...) |

[15:28:24] | PsychoI3oy: | but it'd previously shown 2 hours later and the final recording was the 2h later slot |
[15:28:43] | sphery: | Hmmm. Too bad. |
[15:28:46] | PsychoI3oy: | but i've been dinking around with so much in the last week trying to get auto nuvexport transcoding working |
[15:28:50] | sphery: | Guess Hulu can help, though. |
[15:28:51] | PsychoI3oy: | eh, i'll catch it on hulu |
[15:28:57] | PsychoI3oy: | or by .... other means |
[15:29:21] | PsychoI3oy: | like i said though, life on mars did look interesting enough for me to consider adding it anyway |
[15:29:45] | PsychoI3oy: | I was almost late for work last night cause I was warching it to see if it was ugly betty or not |
[15:30:06] | PsychoI3oy: | (it starts off in modern NYC, plausable enough to be something weird with UB) |
[15:30:25] | sphery: | My Monday conflict is for a show that I'm not interested in, but I would watch with someone who is very interested... Dancing with the Stars. |
[15:30:33] | PsychoI3oy: | heh |
[15:30:41] | PsychoI3oy: | I almost watched that show this season |
[15:30:51] | PsychoI3oy: | when Penn and Adam Carolla were on it |

[15:30:58] | PsychoI3oy: | but I forget |
[15:31:00] | PsychoI3oy: | forgot |
[15:31:03] | sphery: | Penn would be good. |
[15:31:21] | PsychoI3oy: | and by the time I thought of it again, it was reading that they'd both been kicked off in the first 2 or 3 episodes |

[15:36:42] | PsychoI3oy: | sphery, shouldn't be hard, it's on a bunch of channels in repeats |
[15:36:59] | PsychoI3oy: | I did a lot of DVD watching this summer thanks to coworkers |
[15:37:06] | PsychoI3oy: | mostly House and Bones |
[15:37:17] | PsychoI3oy: | but in return I'm catching a coworker up on 24 |
[15:37:29] | PsychoI3oy: | we're just past the halfway point in season 4 |
[15:37:42] | PsychoI3oy: | sometimes being a graveyard security guard has its perks |
[15:38:12] | sphery: | If you figure that an episode of a 1-hr TV is never more than 42-min content (most are probably under 40), watching at 1.25x, you can watch an hour of TV in 33min 36sec. At 1.5x, 28min. At 1.75x 24min. |
[15:38:15] | PsychoI3oy: | as long as there's no fecal matter <-> rotary air mover interactions, we can watch DVDs/whatever |
[15:38:37] | PsychoI3oy: | my brain doesn't work that fast, especially at 4 am |

[15:39:24] | sphery: | And, really, people won't notice that they're watching at 1.25x unless a) a song they know is played or b) a scene shows a full-body shot of people walking (almost never happens), or c) a physics-related anomaly occurs (i.e. a ball is thrown in the air and it's arc/fall is shown) |
[15:40:01] | PsychoI3oy: | heh |
[15:40:05] | PsychoI3oy: | interesting |
[15:40:19] | sphery: | I watched a bunch of TV with my parents at 1.25x and finally asked if they noticed anything different. They hadn't. Then I showed them what was going on (and cranked timestretch to 2.0x just so they could see it). |
[15:40:24] | sphery: | They were impressed. |
[15:40:40] | sphery: | I do a ton of DVD watching because of business travel. |
[15:40:41] | PsychoI3oy: | considering the show I'm watching now is Pinks All Out from here in Denver, I'd probably notice the ETs being a bit off the actual percieved times |
[15:40:55] | PsychoI3oy: | very interesting |
[15:40:58] | sphery: | ET's? |
[15:41:04] | PsychoI3oy: | elapsed times |

[15:43:06] | PsychoI3oy: | I could have bought a 67 Chevelle for $10.5k this summer but had to pass because of the lack of storage space at my apartment and the damage to my wallet that the fuel bills would have made by a 40something big block chevy |

[15:43:41] | PsychoI3oy: | sphery, i've already religated it to online-watching-if-i-remember |
[15:44:04] | sphery: | So, Hulu just requires Flash, right? |
[15:44:12] | PsychoI3oy: | I only ever watched it cause Summer Glau's on it, but she's really just replaying River without the emotional freaking out |
[15:44:16] | PsychoI3oy: | sphery, yes |
[15:44:19] | PsychoI3oy: | but only flash |
[15:44:41] | PsychoI3oy: | as opposed to ABC and ... one of the other networks that require a plugin but end up playing just like flash |
[15:46:30] | PsychoI3oy: | hulu doesn't have any cbs stuff |
[15:46:35] | PsychoI3oy: | fancast does |
[15:46:42] | PsychoI3oy: | i think it's fancast.com |
[15:46:47] | sphery: | Hmmm. Guess that means if I want Hulu, I can either a) rebuild my frontend as 32-bit, b) rebuild my frontend as multilib (will never happen), or c) write the 64-bit port of the Mozilla VM that Adobe needs for Flash so they'll finally release a 64-bit Flash |

[15:48:03] | sphery: | right, but that requires 32-bit libs |

[15:48:09] | PsychoI3oy: | sphery, oh |
[15:48:12] | sphery: | I don't do multilib (I'd rather just go 32-bit) |

[15:49:10] | PsychoI3oy: | but that's only cause ff3/source hasn't made it to non-~amd64 yet |

[15:50:23] | PsychoI3oy: | i tend to tell hulu to pop into a bigger window (less CPU than fullscreen) and closing it as the end credits roll tends to crash ff |

[16:19:13] | PsychoI3oy: | you'd have to have them seperated by a bit to get that to work |

[16:24:09] | PsychoI3oy: | though, for TV (horizontally polarized), having 2 antennas mounted verticallly at 90 degree angles might not modify your gain pattern too much |
[16:24:42] | PsychoI3oy: | i.e. two antennas on the same pole, one below the other |
[16:25:00] | PsychoI3oy: | it'd still modify the gain pattern but i'm not sure how |

[18:26:34] | shiftplusone: | Hello, I am having trouble grabbing xmltv data for Australia... is there someone here who could help me? |
[18:26:36] | Shadow__X: | media doesnt come up |
[18:27:41] | sphery: | Shadow__X: usually a permissions issue--often due to having different UID's/GID's on different systems (i.e. NFS uses uid/gid to identify users, not usernames) |
[18:27:54] | Shadow__X: | i am using nfs right now |
[18:28:02] | Shadow__X: | hmm so should i change the uid |
[18:28:09] | sphery: | use the program id to check uid on both systems |
[18:28:22] | Shadow__X: | or how would i go about that sphery |
[18:28:29] | sphery: | just type (as the user): id<Enter> |
[18:29:22] | Shadow__X: | uid and gid is the same |
[18:29:25] | sphery: | So, if you have the files on the the "master" front end owned by mythtv user, log into that frontend as mythtv and type id |
[18:29:26] | Shadow__X: | same as groups as well |
[18:29:42] | sphery: | do you have "all_squash" set |
[18:29:43] | Shadow__X: | same uid on both machines |
[18:29:47] | Shadow__X: | no |
[18:29:49] | Shadow__X: | :( |
[18:30:06] | Shadow__X: | do i have to set that |
[18:30:18] | sphery: | no, if you use all_squash, it will break permissions handling |
[18:30:34] | sphery: | (i.e. all remote users will be treated as nobody, so only world permissions will apply) |
[18:30:58] | sphery: | btw, that's in /etc/exports --might be worth checking to see if it's specified there |
[18:31:04] | Shadow__X: | i have rw,no_root_squad,async |
[18:31:06] | Shadow__X: | thats it |
[18:31:07] | ** iamlindoro_ throws C++ at the wall and stab himself in the eyeballs ** | |
[18:31:08] | sphery: | also, if you're running the frontend as root, root_squash would do the same |

[18:32:50] | sphery: | are there any errors in the frontend log file ? |
[18:32:54] | Shadow__X: | what are the security implications |
[18:33:39] | Shadow__X: | i dont see any errors in log |
[18:34:49] | sphery: | anyone who can successfully mount the NFS share (which--at worst--typically only requires setting up a machine with the authorized machine's IP address) can mess with any file they want on the NFS share. Sharing the root filesystem (or any "important" portion of it) with no_root_squash makes cracking a system a breeze. |
[18:35:22] | Shadow__X: | oh thats nice |
[18:35:27] | Shadow__X: | maybe i should read before i do |
[18:35:40] | Shadow__X: | atleast i only allowed it to a certain ip horrible nonetheless |
[18:35:44] | Shadow__X: | whats a better option then |
[18:35:56] | sphery: | then again, chances are your network is "reasonably secure" and is unlikely to be a "high priority" target |

[18:36:55] | Dagmar: | NFS == No Filesystem Security |
[18:37:01] | sphery: | Exactly. |
[18:37:02] | Dagmar: | Don't share sensitive files over NFS ever. |

[18:37:29] | shiftplusone: | Hello, where can I see the data MythTV tries to use for the tv guide (the xmltv file or something)? |
[18:37:35] | ** iamlindoro_ smacks curly brackets in the face ** | |
[18:37:43] | Dagmar: | I think I still might be able to write spoofing code using a combination of perl and bash script to compromise any unencrypted/vlanned NFS share if I have local network access |
[18:37:46] | iamlindoro_: | This is what I get for trying to improve things |
[18:37:47] | shiftplusone: | I think I've set everything up, but the tv guide doesn't show anything. |
[18:38:00] | Shadow__X: | iamlindoro_ dont worry ya got it |
[18:38:01] | Shadow__X: | lol |
[18:38:15] | sphery: | I have all my TV recordings local to my 2 different backends without an NFS share in sight. My MythVideo/MythMusic/MythGallery/... files are local to my one frontend. With multiple frontends, that doesn't work so well, though. |

[18:39:13] | sphery: | I've considered using NFS4 w/GSSAPI (I have Kerberos already in use on my network), but I don't think that will even work for the level of security I prefer. |
[18:39:39] | Shadow__X: | sphery sounds like i should use something better |
[18:39:46] | sphery: | J-e-f-f-A|work: For similar reasons, I no longer have a hosting provider (and now do my own hosting) |
[18:40:24] | sphery: | Though I never send myself e-mail messages to say I'm mod'ing the e-mail server, I've never been surprised by any of the changes I've made to the e-mail server, so it works. |
[18:40:54] | andreas_: | i considered the gssapi/kerberos thing as overkill. |
[18:41:10] | Shadow__X: | what would be better to share than using nfs then |
[18:41:16] | andreas_: | it's just some tv recordings, after all |
[18:41:41] | sphery: | Shadow__X: NFS is really not that bad as long as you don't share important files (or important portions of filesystems). You may want to enable root_squash, but doing so means that root will be nobody and won't be able to just override permissions on files through the share. You may have to ssh to the system that contains the filesystem. |
[18:41:41] | Shadow__X: | for more important info |
[18:42:04] | Shadow__X: | hmm |
[18:43:18] | sphery: | So, Shadow__X where are the files? The absolute path is identical on both systems? |

[18:54:55] | Shadow__X: | missing menu entry |

[20:09:07] | JEDIDIAH_: | setting a "transparent color" like white might not be a bad idea... |
[20:09:51] | GreyFoxx: | j-e: heh |

[20:11:32] | JEDIDIAH_: | ...sure GF. I was just thinking that with places like Amazon having cover images with white borders that it might be a good idea to make the white part transparent and possibly automatically cropped. |
[20:12:09] | GreyFoxx: | Jed: I got those ones originally from Amazon actually. But I've since written and app to auto grab it all and hsould just delete those ones |
[20:12:58] | JEDIDIAH_: | ...and autocropper wouldn't be a bad idea either... I will have to look into that. script-fu and gimp mebbe. |

[20:18:04] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | It'd be great if you could outline the number in white... ;-) But I'm sure you guys are already working on something like that. ;-) |
[20:18:10] | GreyFoxx: | yup |
[20:18:19] | GreyFoxx: | It'll be clearly visible |

[20:19:58] | GreyFoxx: | and hopefully soon affmpegsync |
[20:20:08] | GreyFoxx: | 0.22 should be quite nifty |
[20:20:54] | GreyFoxx: | No more "prescaling images" at startup hehe |
[20:21:07] | justinh: | 0.22 will be getting a super spiffy version of glass-wide |

[20:22:06] | GreyFoxx: | doh, gotta run and pick up the little one from daycare. later |
[20:22:15] | justinh: | have fun |
[20:22:34] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | GreyFoxx: Now THAT would be nice... One of the themes in 0.21 pre-scales 3 times on my box (forget which one)... 10 secs the 1st time, 20 the 2nd time, and 40 the 3rd time, despite having the cache set to 10... |

[21:37:32] | kormoc: | mattwj2002, I just got a MSI version of the same card, works great |
[21:38:16] | mattwj2002: | cool |
[21:38:26] | mattwj2002: | it is a fairly new card.... |
[21:38:41] | mattwj2002: | it has component out (that is the best input for my best tv) |
[21:38:56] | mattwj2002: | it is inexpensive and has not fan....seems perfect |
[21:43:39] | stoth: | amazing, 22.99 for a fairly decent graphics card. |
[21:43:49] | iamlindoro_: | CUDA capable, even |
[21:45:50] | stoth: | iamlindoro_: I puchased a firewire sniffer for debugging this firewire linux issue I'm having, I hope to resolve the issue (which works fine on a mac) and improve the myth experience for STB's. |
[21:46:09] | iamlindoro_: | stoth: Wow, purchased?? Hope that didn't cost you to much, but that would be awesome |
[21:46:13] | iamlindoro_: | er too much |
[21:46:27] | stoth: | awesome if I can fix a few things with it, yes. |
[21:46:49] | stoth: | otherwise it's another excuse for my wife to give me 'the look' |
[21:46:53] | iamlindoro_: | hahah |
[21:47:16] | sid3windr: | so um, what does such a beast cost? :) |
[21:47:20] | iamlindoro_: | "Baby, just think of all the things I can do around the house with a firewire sniffer!" |
[21:47:25] | iamlindoro_: | Hmm... just doesn't work |
[21:47:55] | mattwj2002: | hey that graphics card doesn't support XvMC |
[21:47:56] | ** sid3windr has the card mentioned above in one of his frontends, works great ** | |
[21:47:57] | mattwj2002: | :( |
[21:48:22] | iamlindoro_: | mattwj2002, none of the last few generations do |
[21:48:38] | iamlindoro_: | if you have a PCIe capable system, you don't need the minute speed offload that XvMc gives you anyway |
[21:48:50] | iamlindoro_: | It's barely any help, and has more disadvantages than it's worth |

[21:49:31] | mattwj2002: | I guess your right |
[21:49:47] | mattwj2002: | I have an AMD X2 5000+ chip |
[21:50:33] | stoth: | iamlindoro_: It's a long story, but the answer is to get the right firewire bridge from TI. It so happens that apple used to ship them in their G3 macs, with a nice SDK also, so they're shipping for $100–150 on ebay if you know what you're buying. Otherwise a firewire analyzer is >$5k |
[21:51:30] | stoth: | I tried to rent one, $3.5k per month |
[21:51:34] | iamlindoro_: | yowch |
[21:51:37] | stoth: | yeah |
[21:53:20] | iamlindoro_: | I'll be very curious to see what you come up with |

[22:18:49] | fryfrog: | i gotcha |
[22:18:53] | fryfrog: | it runs commands |

[22:19:53] | sphery: | xtrapin |
[22:20:15] | wolfspirit: | yeah that's why I said like irexec.. it just runs programs.. I need key presses |
[22:20:18] | sphery: | example (but moving mouse, rather than pressing buttons): http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/82722#82722 |
[22:20:40] | sphery: | easy enough to use xtrap to record a button press then play it back |
[22:21:20] | sphery: | use xtrapout -e to record, then xtrapin to play back |
[22:22:07] | sphery: | may be easier with xtrapchar if you're doing a single keypress |
[22:22:37] | sphery: | but, really, irxevent is probably easier/what you want |
