[00:00:05] Led-Hed: so what would be required for a TV to be capable of 60 FPS.
[00:00:19] andreax (andreax!n=andreaz@p57B97F61.dip.t-dialin.net) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:00:56] iamlindoro__: a TV with 120 Hz refresh
[00:01:12] iamlindoro__: They exist, they're quite nice apparently (don't have one myself)
[00:01:13] Led-Hed: none of my tv's are capable of 120hz
[00:01:41] Led-Hed: but the TV/FE in my bedroom is reporting 60 fps
[00:02:00] iamlindoro__: Then you're feeding it 30 Fps video
[00:02:14] iamlindoro__: with a refresh rate of 60 Hz
[00:02:23] Led-Hed: progressive @ 60hz
[00:02:26] DrDigital (DrDigital!n=DrDigita@gallery/DrDigital) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[00:02:49] iamlindoro__: What, the video?
[00:02:58] Led-Hed: ya
[00:03:01] iamlindoro__: If it's progressive, then you're not using a deinterlacer at all...
[00:03:23] Led-Hed: ok, the recording is comming from a Firewire STB
[00:03:47] Led-Hed: so I guess the content could be 720p
[00:04:09] iamlindoro__: Could be. But like I said, if it's progressive, you're not using a deinterlacer.
[00:04:31] Led-Hed: agreed, how can I tell if the deinterlacer is active?
[00:04:39] iamlindoro__: Myth puts all that in the logs
[00:04:45] Led-Hed: 2008-11–30 16:04:24.079 NVP: 311600 progressive frames seen
[00:05:16] iamlindoro__: When it starts playback it decides which playback profile to use, and says so in plain english if it doesn't need a deinterlacer
[00:06:44] Led-Hed: ok, I'm confused, why would progressive video playback at 60 FPS? I thought it was 60 because of Bob 2x, but if its progressive then its not using Bob, which means it should be 30 fps right?
[00:07:11] wagnerrp: if its progressive 60, then its progressive 60
[00:07:16] wagnerrp: its already at 60 fps
[00:07:28] Led-Hed: from the STB
[00:07:28] iamlindoro__: ^^^ yup
[00:07:34] wagnerrp: broadcast tv is 60fps
[00:07:46] Led-Hed: fields or frames?
[00:07:48] wagnerrp: 480p60, 720p60, or 1080i30
[00:07:50] iamlindoro__: where f can = frames or fields
[00:07:58] wagnerrp: err... 1080i60
[00:08:03] iamlindoro__: 720p 60 frames, 1080i 60 fields
[00:08:16] iamlindoro__: (which is 1080i 30 frames)
[00:08:19] jduggan: still no child #2
[00:08:21] gandalfcome (gandalfcome!n=gandalfc@mithrandir.anu.edu.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:08:21] Led-Hed: ok.
[00:08:23] jduggan: oops
[00:08:23] iamlindoro__: This is why sports channels use 720p 60
[00:08:28] Led-Hed: thanks for clearing that up
[00:08:56] iamlindoro__: 720p60 is good for motion, 1080i30 is good for drama
[00:08:58] Led-Hed: iamlindoro, oddly my FE thats reporting 30 FPS is interlaced
[00:09:14] iamlindoro__: Led-Hed, why is that odd?
[00:09:17] wagnerrp: thats 30 full frames per second
[00:09:24] wagnerrp: interlaces to 60 fields per second
[00:09:27] Led-Hed: you said that 720p is better for sports
[00:09:33] iamlindoro__: It is. So?
[00:09:40] Led-Hed: never mind
[00:10:05] ** Led-Hed thought he understood, but obviously doesnt **
[00:11:32] wagnerrp: 720p60 and 1080i60 are about the same pixelrate
[00:11:41] wagnerrp: so they usually end up to roughly the same size
[00:12:02] wagnerrp: theres really not enough bitrate to pump 1080p60 over ATSC
[00:12:09] wagnerrp: not if you want it to look decent anyway
[00:12:12] iamlindoro__: at least, not without it looking like poop
[00:12:34] wagnerrp: so you have the option of getting progressive video (better motion quality), or better resolution
[00:12:59] iamlindoro__: If we even DO manage to switch to ATSC 2.0 then 19 Mbit wouldn't be too chabby for 1080p
[00:13:02] iamlindoro__: er shabby
[00:13:05] Led-Hed: I always thought that Progressive ment full frame (both fields) at 30 per sec, and Interlaced was 60 Fields per Sec so twice as many refreshes, but with only half the content
[00:13:15] iamlindoro__: s/even do/ever do/
[00:13:19] wagnerrp: its full frame, but it has no bearing on framerate
[00:13:46] wagnerrp: all broadcasts are 60 fields per second
[00:14:00] wagnerrp: well... 60000/1001, or something like that
[00:15:21] ** Led-Hed is going nutz. my frontends havent gone this long without a hang in months. **
[00:15:44] Led-Hed: figures, as soon as I start to keep an eye on them they start behaving
[00:15:44] wagnerrp: 'oh woe is me, i have stable systems'
[00:16:03] Led-Hed: wagnerrp, lol, if it would stay this way I would be happy, but it wont
[00:16:24] wagnerrp: i find my systems are stable so long as i dont touch them
[00:16:28] Led-Hed: It just sux that when you are trying to catch it, it doesnt happen
[00:16:40] porcodildo (porcodildo!n=wefw@151.64.200.231) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:16:46] wagnerrp: when i stop tinkering, everything is hunky dory
[00:16:54] Led-Hed: wagnerrp, I'm just the opposite, Once my systems are stable I dont touch them
[00:18:27] Led-Hed: my FE's were stable up until I decided to go HD, that required new hardware, more storage in the backend, yadda yadda. Now it gives the appearence of stability, and just when you arent expecting it, it hangs.
[00:18:45] GFoxx (GFoxx!n=greg@blk-89-234-190.eastlink.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:19:09] Led-Hed: brb
[00:23:36] Led-Hed: ok, so if watching LiveTV @1080i and I have bob 2x enabled, should the logs report 30 fps or 60 fps
[00:25:23] GFoxx (GFoxx!n=greg@blk-89-234-190.eastlink.ca) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:25:30] wagnerrp: im guessing that would be frames, so 60fps
[00:25:47] wagnerrp: assuming your tv can handle 1080p60
[00:26:26] Led-Hed: they cant. they are 1366c768 (1280x720)
[00:26:56] wagnerrp: well then its downscaling, and outputting 720p60
[00:27:13] Led-Hed: so because they arent capable of 1080p60 what would happen, bob would not be implemented
[00:28:01] wagnerrp: no idea
[00:28:06] Led-Hed: wagnerrp, my logs are reporting 30 fps
[00:28:22] Led-Hed: is that an indication that bob isnt being used?
[00:30:01] iamlindoro__: You are likely just reading the input frame value

[00:31:33] iamlindoro__: doesn't mean it's the display framerame

[00:31:54] Led-Hed: like I said, I'm bad at reading the logs

[01:05:45] wagnerrp: do you have your computer set up to set the hardware time on shutdown?
[01:05:52] porcodildo: I have set the command in mythtv-setup
[01:06:07] porcodildo: wagnerrp, no
[01:06:19] porcodildo: I thought that mythtv did it automatically :D
[01:06:25] iamlindoro__: I wonder why MythTV can't get me a piece of pie
[01:06:33] porcodildo: lol
[01:06:50] porcodildo: I thought that mythtv can set the alarm when scheduling
[01:07:08] kormoc: ugh
[01:07:10] porcodildo: so do I have to set it manually when shutting down?
[01:07:30] BigJibby (BigJibby!n=matt@mattread.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:07:38] kormoc: porcodildo, no... wagnerrp asked if your distro is set to sync the software clock to the hardware clock on shutdown.
[01:07:49] porcodildo: ah
[01:07:59] porcodildo: I have removed that piece of code
[01:08:03] fuxxy: I just found out that Xbox 360 can view "Instant download" movies from netflix (if you have the right netflix account).. Has anyone came up with a way for mythtv to do tht?
[01:08:08] wagnerrp: if you sync the hardware clock, it deletes the boot timer
[01:08:08] porcodildo: btw, that's not the problem
[01:08:10] ** iamlindoro__ blinks, astounded **
[01:08:11] kormoc: fuxxy, no
[01:08:24] porcodildo: /proc/acpi/alarm is not written
[01:08:42] kormoc: porcodildo, so perhaps your acpi implementation isn't supported?
[01:08:43] porcodildo: I have to write the alarm date to /proc/acpi/alarm
[01:08:46] porcodildo: no
[01:08:54] porcodildo: kormoc, I can wakeup the machine manually
[01:09:05] kormoc: as root?
[01:09:08] BigJibby: can mythtv connect to a DAAP share?
[01:09:10] porcodildo: writing to acpi/alarm and shutting down (or S3 standby)
[01:09:18] iamlindoro__: BigJibby, no
[01:09:33] porcodildo: kormoc, yes as root
[01:09:36] BigJibby: :(
[01:09:45] kormoc: porcodildo, and as the mythtv user?
[01:10:01] iamlindoro__: I'm sure patches would be appreciated
[01:10:10] porcodildo: uhm don't know
[01:10:14] porcodildo: I'll check
[01:11:01] rhpot1991: wagnerrp: any idea if you can change icons so I can get a nice mythtv icon on here?
[01:11:13] ** kormoc blinks **
[01:11:55] wagnerrp: i remember looking into something about that a year ago
[01:12:11] rhpot1991: you can rename, but I only see channel icons
[01:12:16] wagnerrp: supposedly you can load themes, but i never figured out how to make one
[01:12:28] wagnerrp: you can create channel icons, but thats not what youre looking for
[01:12:33] rhpot1991: ya

[01:54:58] wagnerrp: the way it surges like that, its almost as if you have something else running in the background
[01:55:12] wagnerrp: is this livetv, or watching a recording as it is recorded?
[01:55:57] wagnerrp: when im running a recording, the commflag used to use too much processor

[02:01:11] Led-Hed: commercial flagging doesn't happen till 2:00am.
[02:02:05] Led-Hed: The load on the BE spikes when the FE's hang. Not sure if the increased load is caused by the FE hang, or if the high load causes the FE to hang
[02:03:50] wagnerrp: how much memory in the systems? possibility of running out?

[02:09:37] Led-Hed: back
[02:09:41] wagnerrp: since several disks are doing it
[02:09:55] iamlindoro__: Led-Hed, You said you added new disks and such when you upgraded, right?
[02:10:05] iamlindoro__: Does that include a new mobo or controller?
[02:10:13] iamlindoro__: And also, what brand and size of disks
[02:10:14] Led-Hed: right, but the hangs happened prior to the disk upgrades
[02:10:19] iamlindoro__: (and are they clicking)
[02:10:53] iamlindoro__: What I see implies poorly supported SATA port multiplier, failing controller, or a couple of disks going bad

[02:17:18] wagnerrp: dont want to take the time to rip/ocr it?
[02:17:38] iamlindoro__: It would mean going to windows to do it, it's a subtitle on bluray
[02:17:50] wagnerrp: actually, do BR and HDDVD have text based? or video based subtitles?
[02:17:57] iamlindoro__: bitmap
[02:18:11] wagnerrp: ah, so similar to DVD
[02:18:14] iamlindoro__: so yeah, need to OCR
[02:18:16] iamlindoro__: yep

[02:20:02] a1fa: iamlindoro_: AM2 5200+ good nuff?
[02:20:15] wagnerrp: for what?
[02:20:19] a1fa: for just about anything
[02:20:19] iamlindoro__: for what? tiling the bathroom?
[02:20:28] a1fa: for HD :P
[02:20:35] iamlindoro__: what kind of HD?
[02:20:37] wagnerrp: for HW what?
[02:20:39] kormoc: for 5265p240 h268
[02:20:44] a1fa: h268
[02:20:56] wagnerrp: awesome! a future man in here!
[02:21:00] iamlindoro__: kormoc, oh now he'll say h268 for the rest of his life, good job
[02:21:12] a1fa: nah
[02:21:16] kormoc: glad to have helped
[02:21:24] iamlindoro__: maybe it's x268 instead
[02:21:27] a1fa: hax the planet
[02:21:35] a1fa: hehe
[02:21:38] wagnerrp: requires a 2.0THz processor or better
[02:22:09] a1fa: anybody familiar what kind of compression are they running on UVERSE?
[02:22:17] iamlindoro__: anyway, a 5200 will be fine for lots of HD, but there are certainly scenarios where I could see it not being enough. a 5200+ and VDPAU will be fine once it's mature.
[02:22:28] iamlindoro__: a1fa, besides "severe?"
[02:22:36] a1fa: severe?
[02:22:38] iamlindoro__: like, 6 Mbit HD channels. Worst Hd in the industry. yummy.
[02:22:48] a1fa: really?
[02:22:52] iamlindoro__: 6 Mbit h.264. Yes.
[02:23:08] iamlindoro__: And you can't get any digital copies so you'll get more loss in going digital->analog->digital, yay!
[02:23:19] iamlindoro__: no firewire/QAM on uverse
[02:23:24] a1fa: sucks
[02:23:28] iamlindoro__: so you'll be capturing analog outs
[02:23:47] kormoc: the worse the picture, the more you'll channel surf, the more you channel surf, the more ads you see, it's a win-win!
[02:23:52] a1fa: http://www.thetruthaboutuverse.com/is-u-verse-hdtv-really-hdtv/
[02:24:06] a1fa: haha
[02:24:08] a1fa: good marketing
[02:24:16] a1fa: they dont have uverse where I am at
[02:24:16] iamlindoro__: sounds like a reputable domain to me
[02:24:34] kormoc: ooh, I like this
[02:24:38] wagnerrp: is that mpeg4 ASP or AVC?
[02:24:48] kormoc: "Full, high-end HD requires a serial bit rate of 1,485 Mb/s(1080i) to 2970 Mb/s(1080p)"
[02:24:54] iamlindoro__: wagnerrp, AVC
[02:25:04] wagnerrp: so that bitrate is roughly to spec
[02:25:11] wagnerrp: maybe a little shy
[02:25:16] kormoc: I would love to see any broadcaster pushing that
[02:25:24] wagnerrp: well, if thats the average, thats about right
[02:25:45] kormoc: wagnerrp, broadcasters sending out 3 gb/s? where?
[02:25:52] a1fa: who do you get your HD through, kormoc, and iamlindoro_
[02:25:59] iamlindoro__: Reminds me of the USB 3.0 blurb I saw the other day claiming to be pushing "uncompressed 1080p in 450 Mbit!"
[02:26:04] wagnerrp: 8.5mbps, half the bitrate of mpeg2 ATSC
[02:26:16] iamlindoro__: a1fa, Comcast.
[02:26:26] kormoc: a1fa, who said I have hd?
[02:26:32] wagnerrp: iamlindoro__: certainly! 1080p10
[02:27:02] a1fa: kormoc: sorry. wrong to assume
[02:27:07] iamlindoro__: Heh
[02:27:16] a1fa: Comcast + firewire?

[02:27:40] a1fa: :P
[02:27:49] iamlindoro__: and an HD-PVR and 3 x QAM tuners
[02:27:59] a1fa: how many channels do you get and what do you have to dish out a month?
[02:28:19] Led-Hed: here is the results from SMART
[02:28:20] Led-Hed: http://pastebin.ledhed.net/1661
[02:28:28] iamlindoro__: I get about 300 channels, and I have a three-pack deal but pay about $50 for cable.
[02:28:32] Led-Hed: the other drives are listed below it
[02:28:46] a1fa: wow
[02:28:53] a1fa: thats cheaper than my analog cable
[02:28:54] a1fa: :P
[02:29:03] iamlindoro__: a1fa, 50 is just for the cable line items
[02:29:10] a1fa: got ya
[02:29:20] a1fa: what do you use HD-PVR for?
[02:29:21] iamlindoro__: Led-Hed, I only see one drive here

[02:29:51] a1fa: i didnt know mythtv supported it
[02:30:06] wagnerrp: trunk does
[02:30:12] iamlindoro__: a1fa, Backup in case firewire goes out, VOD. Will transition to it fully if firewire ever stops. And yes, Myth trunk has supported the HD-PVR for many months
[02:30:15] Led-Hed: iamlindoro_, I did each one individually.
[02:30:24] a1fa: cool
[02:30:41] wagnerrp: Led-Hed: youre running those drives rather hot
[02:30:56] a1fa: what kind of QAM tuner
[02:30:57] RyeBrye: iamlindoro_ – is the HD-PVR support wife friendly yet?
[02:31:03] Led-Hed: shouldnt be, they are cool to the touch
[02:31:06] RyeBrye: i.e. does it crash the backend still if resolution changes... etc?
[02:31:15] wagnerrp: youve had them up to 50C
[02:31:17] Led-Hed: have a 120mm fan blowing directly on them
[02:31:18] kormoc: RyeBrye, if your wife a programmer?
[02:31:36] iamlindoro__: RyeBrye, there are patches to make the backend fine with resolution changes, although live TV still does not like it
[02:31:52] kormoc: wagnerrp, remember it's seagate? They claim that smart's numbers aren't correct
[02:32:06] iamlindoro__: 723779622 C, toasty
[02:32:12] wagnerrp: if the numbers are wrong, why bother making them available?
[02:32:20] a1fa: 3 hd homeruns?
[02:32:50] iamlindoro__: a1fa, No, various cards. HVR-1250, pcHDTV 5500, KWorld 115
[02:33:01] a1fa: is hdhomerunw orth it?
[02:33:15] kormoc: wagnerrp, ask Seagate, but in short, they claim on their website the only way to know if the drive has issues or not is their seatools, the '3ed party' smart tools are worthless, as they don't use standard attribute id to name mappings
[02:33:15] iamlindoro__: Everyone with one seems rather fond of it, I'd assume it's a nice choice
[02:34:20] a1fa: i have the pvr-500
[02:34:23] a1fa: its decent
[02:34:23] iamlindoro__: oh, and only come on a bootable CD

[02:35:53] a1fa: how many channels are you able to get through pcHDTV 5500?
[02:35:55] kormoc: iamlindoro__, are you using mythweb-trunk by chance?
[02:36:02] a1fa: through comcast.. how many channels are unencrypted?
[02:36:05] iamlindoro__: kormoc, yeah
[02:36:06] wagnerrp: only marginally more (per tuner) than my 1250
[02:36:17] kormoc: iamlindoro__, have a minute to do a quick speed test?
[02:36:22] iamlindoro__: kormoc, sure
[02:36:31] iamlindoro__: (although I'm gonna be one quick minute, on the phone)
[02:36:43] Led-Hed: ok, so do the SMART results show that its a disk problem?
[02:37:08] wagnerrp: no, unless they really are bogus... and then they show nothing
[02:37:17] kormoc: iamlindoro__, https://www.kormoc.com/MythBackendObject.patch
[02:37:44] kormoc: it's not fully complete, but I'm seeing a fairly nice speedup (.5 to 1 sec or so), and was wondering if it was just my machine
[02:37:58] a1fa: iamlindoro_: how many channels can you pickup on your pchdtv card vs. comcast reciever?
[02:38:41] Led-Hed: so, if its not drive related, what should I look for next?
[02:38:57] iamlindoro__: kormoc, no problem, any particular tasks you'd like me to compare?
[02:39:40] kormoc: iamlindoro_, main page, upcoming recordings, scheduled recordings, just viewing those pages should give a good indication
[02:40:18] a1fa: woot.. the unit comes on in 30minutes
[02:40:23] iamlindoro__: ok, let me get approx times before I apply
[02:40:41] iamlindoro__: a1fa, I get about 50 channels on QAM, and all of my channels vie firewire
[02:41:51] a1fa: so.. ~50 more via firewire
[02:43:30] wagnerrp: so 250 more via firewire
[02:43:35] iamlindoro__: a1fa, no, 250
[02:43:38] iamlindoro__: exactly
[02:43:57] a1fa: ;P
[02:44:02] iamlindoro__: kormoc, I'm getting a User notice "Failed to set php timezone to Array" and a few warnings

[02:45:12] EnderTheThird: alfa: AFAIK, there is no plugin for Hulu with MythTV
[02:45:21] a1fa: thats too bad.. they do RSS
[02:45:40] sphery: iamlindoro__: and do you have a valid /etc/timezone (should contain only a valid time zone ID, such as "America/New_York" or whatever--no quotes)
[02:45:41] wagnerrp: mythtv doesnt do flash
[02:45:50] a1fa: firefox does
[02:46:05] iamlindoro__: sphery, America/Los_Angeles
[02:46:19] wagnerrp: so you would effectively be playing video through mythweb

[02:47:00] kormoc: iamlindoro_, updated patch, if you want to give that a go
[02:47:04] wagnerrp: no, if someone could work out the obfuscated download paths, then you could probably adapt the youtube plugin fairly easiler

[02:47:37] _Der_Thomas: I've always had there light lines, maybe 30deg or so running through my picture from myth
[02:47:39] iamlindoro__: kormoc, okay, no worries-- dunno if the three warnings are of use to you, TBH I updated to latest mythweb right now, had been a few weeks without updating so it may not all be your patch
[02:47:52] _Der_Thomas: the lines are even on the menues so I know its not the TV cards...
[02:47:54] kormoc: sphery, he's testing a patch that I missed a list() around a chunk :P
[02:47:55] iamlindoro__: (two from skin.php and one from header.php)
[02:48:13] kormoc: iamlindoro_, feel free to toss them up, I'm always game to take a gander
[02:48:48] iamlindoro__: let me try the updated patch and I'll let you know
[02:50:35] iamlindoro__: php timezone notice still there, at /var/www/mythweb/classes/MythBackend.php, line 123:

[02:52:45] iamlindoro__: ah, yeah, reverted and it all goes away, so I guess it is :)
[02:53:00] kormoc: Yeah, what I did was store a array in your session, let me update this to fix it
[02:54:33] kormoc: iamlindoro_, updated patch, give that a go?
[02:54:42] iamlindoro__: sure
[02:55:25] iamlindoro__: Oh wow
[02:55:30] iamlindoro__: yeah, that's *much* faster
[02:55:37] kormoc: slickness
[02:55:54] iamlindoro__: all my times for page loads were in the 2–4 second range, this reduces all but one to under a second

[02:57:57] kormoc: yeah, that's why
[02:58:10] kormoc: well
[02:58:17] kormoc: it does a file_exists on it

[02:59:10] kormoc: iamlindoro_, so yeah, with php, anytime you see 'headers already sent', it's almost always ignorable and fixed by fixing the first problem
[02:59:13] sphery: iamlindoro__: you have some "cover" images that are 301 Moved HTML paages
[02:59:31] sphery: iamlindoro__: ls -lS should show you them (smallest images)

[03:00:27] iamlindoro__: kormoc, thanks, good to know (I am php-tarded)
[03:01:01] kormoc: iamlindoro_, updated patch, should fix your bad images now as well
[03:02:06] sphery: kormoc: meaning you fixed the "what if the poster isn't an image" thing?
[03:02:23] kormoc: sphery, aye, should just display no image rather then breaking now

[03:07:06] iamlindoro__: Led-Hed, I think we've all already theorized you have disk issues
[03:07:17] iamlindoro__: in fact, your frontend log more or less explicitly says so
[03:07:25] iamlindoro__: (the line about could not safely read from file)
[03:07:41] iamlindoro__: disk/controller/etc. issues, that is
[03:07:57] iamlindoro__: But something on the path between bus and platter, up to and including platter
[03:08:14] Led-Hed: it just doesnt make sense though. The BE is also a FE, and it has never once hung.
[03:08:32] Led-Hed: not to mention the hanging happened on the old BE also.

[03:09:17] iamlindoro__: but we and dmesg and the myth log seem to all agree
[03:09:31] iamlindoro__: can't hurt
[03:09:39] Led-Hed: except my wallet
[03:09:59] iamlindoro__: Well it can't *help* to try nothing
[03:10:04] iamlindoro__: but you can do that too if you like
[03:10:22] Led-Hed: its just frusterating.
[03:10:57] iamlindoro__: I myself would caution against buying the cheapest largest disk available if you end up needing to replace disks, by the way
[03:11:18] Led-Hed: ya I hear you
[03:11:22] iamlindoro__: But Seagate has burned me bad this year, so I may just be bitter
[03:11:42] jblack: big,cheap,kinda-reliable disks are practically made for myth.
[03:12:10] Led-Hed: ya if they work
[03:12:13] iamlindoro__: I'll take large affordable reliable any day :)
[03:12:16] jblack: It won't hurt if you lose your 40 episodes of 3's company, but you'll feel it if you lose 5 years of email.
[03:12:20] Led-Hed: which apparently mine dont
[03:12:37] iamlindoro__: But how will I know if he ever gets that implied threesome if I lose all my Epzz0rz?
[03:12:41] Led-Hed: jblack, I'd be more pissed about the 3's Company

[04:10:46] wesw02: My antenna for my HD input went out last week, I replaced it today and I noticed that I now only get two channels instead of six, the weird thing is when I try to tune in the other channels they are duplicates of the working channels?
[04:11:26] wesw02: What could cause this? I checked my database backups for the last few weeks and the channel frequencies have not changed
[04:12:23] wesw02: to be more specific FOX comes in on the correct channel, as well as on ABC and another local channel
[04:12:47] wesw02: the antenna is the same make and model that I previously used

[04:17:08] iamlindoro__: Did you rescan?
[04:17:32] wagnerrp: yeah, just do a minimal updates rescan in mythtv-setup
[04:18:04] wesw02: yes
[04:18:13] wesw02: when I rescan it only picks up those two channels
[04:18:16] wesw02: with no duplicates
[04:18:43] wesw02: but the weird thing about that it each channel it scans, it re-updates the previous two channels
[04:18:53] wesw02: let me try to clearify that
[04:19:29] wesw02: when scanning, it detects channel 45.1 and 45.2, then moves to scan the next channel, it then states its updating channel 45.1 and 45.2
[04:20:42] wesw02: the result of the scan leaves me with about 100 or so entries in my 'dtv_multiplex' table
[04:20:47] wesw02: but only two channels
[04:21:05] iamlindoro__: I would remove the lineup entirely, then
[04:21:16] wesw02: tried that
[04:21:16] iamlindoro__: and recreate it-- but sounds like your antenna is mispointed now

[04:21:55] wesw02: in fact its just rabit ears
[04:21:59] iamlindoro__: Use the dvb-apps scan utility to do a scan, see if it agrees
[04:22:05] wesw02: with a little booster
[04:22:10] wesw02: it does
[04:22:15] wesw02: the same thing happens
[04:22:37] iamlindoro__: If it does the same thing then your issue isn't with myth, it's with your antenna or your capture device.
[04:22:42] wesw02: hmm
[04:22:53] wesw02: okay, well that helps
[04:23:04] wesw02: I'll scratch that off the list
[04:23:10] iamlindoro__: One less thing :)
[04:23:20] wesw02: do you think it could be some kind of outage?
[04:23:24] wesw02: in the area
[04:23:39] wagnerrp: check the scanner, try using dvbscan instead of the mythtv scanner
[04:23:40] iamlindoro__: Pretty doubtful but anything's possible
[04:23:57] wesw02: wagnerrp, i did, i get the same results
[04:24:00] iamlindoro__: wagnerrp, *cough*, see one minute ago ;)
[04:24:05] wesw02: hehe
[04:24:22] wesw02: what do you think it most likely the cause, the antenna or the capture device?
[04:24:43] wagnerrp: indeed you did.... ive got a movie open and its covering all but the last few lines of text
[04:25:00] iamlindoro__: It's honestly impossible to make a guess, but given the thing you just replaced is the antenna, logic dictates it's most likely to be that

[04:47:06] wesw02: for tuning
[04:47:14] iamlindoro__: ah, heh

[17:15:49] sphery: Segfaulting isn't really common anywhere. There are a few places where, for example, we have known race conditions that could trigger segfaults (i.e. in the channel scanner when running on a multi-proc/multi-core system), but fixing them isn't worthwhile (as the code is being replaced and there are simple workarounds, such as pinning the process to a single core for scanning using taskset -c 0)
[17:16:29] sphery: Guess I should amend that to see, the /backend/'s segfaulting is uncommon. The frontend may segfault a /lot/ given garbage for video (i.e. with signal issues).

[17:17:29] iamlindoro_: My systems are all 64 bit, never see segfaults
[17:17:29] toad_: well usually it's in transcode or filldatabase, every so often in backend, never in frontend
[17:17:44] iamlindoro_: well, other than the ones I cause by poking things, and usually in the frontend
[17:17:57] toad_: hmmm
[17:18:04] toad_: could it be due to dodgy capture hardware (USB)?

[17:19:23] toad_: is it better to buy an identical stick for my second tuner?
[17:19:35] iamlindoro_: IME segfaults are often caused by (advertant or inadvertant) user manipulation *somewhere* (although, obviously, legit segfaults exist)
[17:20:05] toad_: welll...
[17:20:24] toad_: i do do some manipulation ... i hack the database to get it to actually do the transcodes its supposed to be doing ...
[17:20:34] toad_: maybe i should turn that off if the bug is fixed...
[17:21:29] toad_: i think my first tuner is a nova-t, any recommendations for the second?
[17:23:16] toad_: i guess another nova-t is more or less guaranteed to work as well as the current one does...

[20:12:38] gbee: and I can't really fault Crucial for price, one of the reasons I tend to buy their stuff is because it's inexpensive and until the last year or so, buying direct from them was cheaper with much faster delivery than most online retailers
[20:12:40] sphery: I've got many sticks of RAM with heatsinks (many of those Crucial) and haven't had any problems even though I run my systems at 100% CPU with BOINC/SETI and I don't have any special cooling solutions. Actually, the RAM is the one thing on my network that's not currently failing.  :)
[20:13:18] gbee: sphery: that's good enough for me
[20:13:25] ** sphery has had 3 HDD failures in a month, has 2 failing (cheap) PSU's, and a failing (4-yr-old) laptop (bad heatsink/fan, I think) **
[20:13:54] sphery: the problem with buying a ton of computer hardware in 2004 is that it all fails at the same time (in late 2008, it seems :)
[20:13:55] iamlindoro_: Wow, Seagate drives failing, that's just crazy talk
[20:14:22] sphery: iamlindoro_: only one of 3 was Seagate... Also includes a WD (but it wasn't green :), and a(n) Hitachi
[20:15:02] iamlindoro_: yeah yeah
[20:15:15] sphery: gbee: when you find issues with the RAM you bought based on my input, let me know and I'll spring for the replacement :)
[20:15:26] gbee: sphery: yeah my 3/4 yr old laptop is going south pretty fast, fan is getting noisy, screen surround is cracking at the hinges, the up arrow has lost it's bounce
[20:15:28] gbee: heh
[20:15:31] sphery: (after all, it's now bound to fail)
[20:16:14] iamlindoro_: I finally got the stupid new LTO-IV drive at work here working and breathed a sigh of relief, really need that data offsite
[20:16:24] sphery: yeah, my laptop just started to get video corruption/lockup (GPU heatsink/fan) that often actually panics the kernel (even with the FOSS nv driver) so I can't do a proper shutdown.
[20:16:31] iamlindoro_: (speaking of data loss/drive failures/etc that is)

[20:18:47] sphery: lots of unreadable sectors in the SMART logs, too
[20:18:48] gbee: made the mistake of not going for 4Gb straight off on this machine, especially considering the GPU is taking 1/4 of that ... for the first time in a while I not only went into swap, I ran out of it too
[20:19:04] iamlindoro_: gbee: your 8200 allows you to specify 1 GB?
[20:19:06] sphery: wow, how much swap?
[20:19:28] iamlindoro_: Lucky, my 9300 only allows up to 512-- Although at least at that level it works
[20:19:35] gbee: iamlindoro: more of a click without the clack, done it ever since I bought it, which would be 2–3 years ago now

[20:25:06] iamlindoro_: It's the snooty shit like "Uh, like useless code much?" that is more than mildly insulting

[20:25:28] Chicago: I ordered an HD Homerun for $138 from Newegg and the antenna they sell from Winegard. I hope I like it.
[20:25:52] sphery: janneg: i.e. I had 160458 records, 80229 of which were dups. That means 80229 updates to each of credits and recordedcredits. I currently have a "this may take a while" message before the update.
[20:25:53] janneg: sphery: how long does it take without any corruppted data at all
[20:26:01] wagnerrp: whats with the lack of word-wrap on that list archive
[20:26:32] sphery: janneg: should be instantaneous (I'm only selecting and processing the corrupt records where LENGTH(name) = 128)

[20:28:08] sphery: iamlindoro_: thx
[20:28:15] wagnerrp: im pissed off i cant use my MX440 with VDPAU, that was a beast of a card
[20:28:18] GreyFoxx: I should pull together some samples of what I have problems playing back. Chutt said he would filter through and sends them on for the driver guys to play with
[20:29:27] janneg: iamlindoro_: overread that

[20:30:30] GreyFoxx: Sphery: Hehe
[20:30:37] janneg: sphery: then it's perfectly fine, the utf-8 convewrsion takes much longer
[20:31:12] sphery: janneg: cool. I'll upload the patch. Just running a couple more tests with partial dups and I'll do a no corruption test.
[20:31:34] GreyFoxx: After seeing how well some of my dvd rips (in h264 in mkv containers) looked in VDPAU versus software decoding and XV scaling I'm definitely thinking I'll switch once it's more stable
[20:31:58] iamlindoro_: The only thing keeping me from playing with it more often is the horrendous MPEG-2 rendering

[20:35:04] janneg: iamlindoro_: is 1080i mpeg2 also rendered badly?
[20:35:10] iamlindoro_: janneg: Very much so
[20:35:13] Dagmar: Sounds like a design flaw to me
[20:35:17] sphery: Oh, wait, there it is... Other stuff after it...
[20:35:35] Dagmar: ...if important, time-sensitive messages can be sent to a log queue that involves buffering delay, that's wrong.
[20:36:01] janneg: I've solved that with video display profiles and use vdpau only for HD resolutions which is in my cause 100% H264
[20:36:07] iamlindoro_: janneg: The "banding" is slightly less noticeable because they seem to occur at the same pixel interval as in SD, but the misrendering around edges and in solid olors is just as pronounced
[20:36:14] iamlindoro_: colors
[20:36:31] iamlindoro_: janneg: Yeah, no such luck here, all MPEG2 :(
[20:36:49] janneg: iamlindoro_: so we need to add codec as matching criterion for the profiles
[20:37:19] iamlindoro_: janneg: I had been thinking that same thing-- of course, it would probably become moot (for me) once nvidia gets MPEG-2 fixed
[20:38:21] janneg: and while mpeg2 decoded with vdpau looks not as good as with software decoder, it's not that bad anymore
[20:39:14] Chutt: it looks the same here
[20:39:50] GreyFoxx: Chutt: Do you see the artifacts/banding with HD mpeg2 as well ? Or does it look fine for you >?
[20:39:55] Chutt: looks fine
[20:40:06] GreyFoxx: What res are you displaying at ?
[20:40:13] Chutt: 1080p
[20:40:26] iamlindoro_: I see the same effect at both 1080p and 1360x768
[20:41:20] GreyFoxx: Wonder if my TV takes 1080p hmm
[20:41:40] iamlindoro_: with 1080i captures, predominantly, but last night's "the Simpsons" looked *really bad* as the decoder problem seems most pronounced with a) solid colors and b) edges... and that's all cartoons are
[20:41:43] Chutt: looks fine at 720p too

[20:53:17] Chicago: I want to add some buttons to Mythweb for VLC. This is to enable a multicast option for myth. Mythweb could introduce a button that says run this command 'vlc %s --sout '#transcode{fps=15,vb=2000,ab=128,acodec=mp3,vcodec=mp4v,width=320,height=240,de interlace}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},d st=silverstone.localhost:8080/live,mux=ogg,name="Streaming Server"},dst=rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42
[20:53:17] Chicago: ,sap=true,name="TestStream",port=10000}' --ttl 1 --sout-ffmpeg-hurry-up --ffmpeg-hurry-up --no-drop-late-frames --rt-priority'. And then suddenly, any host on the same physical ethernet segment will be able to receive the stream.
[20:53:35] iamlindoro_: cezium: a 3.0 Ghz will be just about perfect for software decode of that material. There are new developments with GPU offload that will eventually make that spec processor less necessary-- but that's a good choice for what is stable today.
[20:53:59] Chicago: Sometimes I use %s with recordings, other times %s is for my v4l2 devices.
[20:55:12] gbee: iamlindoro_: or even threaded decoding improvements in ffmpeg (whatever happened to that?)
[20:55:18] Chicago: Anyways, The result of that VLC transcode works on my Pocket PC with TCPMP. If you have a Windows Mobile device and TCPMP, then you should be able to stream to your phone with it too.
[20:55:20] cezium: iamlindoro_ thank you. I just wanted to hear that I wasn't totaly off.
[20:55:47] iamlindoro_: gbee: I hear the guy is still around but I haven't seen any public progress on it in a long time-- I think he has school commitments... maybe something over Christmas?
[20:56:07] iamlindoro_: cezium: Nope, you're not totally off.
[20:56:08] iamlindoro_: :)
[20:56:37] cezium: iamlindoro_: how much ram would be sufficent?
[20:56:52] iamlindoro_: cezium: 1 GB is fine, more doesn't hurt but isn't strictly necessary
[20:56:56] iamlindoro_: RAM is cheap
[20:57:09] gbee: cezium: we recommend a minimum of 2.5Ghz, but 3.0Ghz gives a margin of comfort, h.264 1080i playback is possible with 2.0Ghz but mkvs (pirates ahoy) are usually encoded with some funky options that can push up the requirements
[20:58:00] gbee: cezium: dedicated frontend, frontend/backend, or desktop with frontend?
[20:58:01] cezium: Then I feel happy with that I orderd :)
[20:58:09] cezium: frontend/backend
[20:59:49] gbee: 1Ghz should be ok, it's what's in my HD fe/be and 128Mb of that is used by the IGP
[21:00:02] gbee: 1Gb
[21:00:50] gbee: 2GB would not be enough for a combined fe/be, desktop development machine ... as I've found to my cost

[21:32:23] Dagmar: How can a lossless transcode change the aspect or res tho?
[21:32:42] Dagmar: I know the frame numbers need to be redone, to be sure
[21:33:26] Dagmar: ...or are you talking about the HD streams that can in theory change aspect, bit rates, and resolution, in mid-transmission (for commercials)
[21:33:35] iamlindoro_: Dagmar: The aspect and resolution can change in the course of a stream. These changes are recorded in recordedmarkup. If you cut out frames with a lossless transcode, some changes can disappear, and most if not all of them will change. Therefore, the information needs to be redone.
[21:33:50] iamlindoro_: and yes, I'm talking about digital (although not necessarily HD) streams

[21:34:49] iamlindoro_: gbee: Figured-- maybe during buildindex? (although this would probably make buildindex take a lot longer)
[21:35:18] Dagmar: It seems like such a thing is liable to elude a lot of coders. Someone seeing it won't be so prone to saying "it can't change, what's this code doing here?" and more likely to remember that it can change should they encounter another place where it's not being handled correctly.

[23:08:14] kkuno: ok seems that the "problem" affects also mythwelcome
[23:08:48] sphery: (and, yes, I hate the MS Office "let me make menus more confusing for you by shifting things around based on how often you've clicked the menu items"--let alone the previous "let me make the menus more confusing for you by hiding stuff that I don't think you want to see because you haven't used it in a while" implementation)
[23:09:11] laga: sphery: it's probably meant for things like mythappletrailers.
[23:09:27] sphery: yeah, which--IMHO--should be real code :)
[23:09:41] laga: heh
[23:10:36] sphery: the miscellaneous status info stuff is bad enough, and I feel guilty about some of the ways users could mess things up with it (but my consolation is that no one uses it and what we have now is better than the old libsensors code)

[23:12:35] jams: it creates a menu entry that calls mplayer
[23:12:51] kormoc: and so there's a menu entry for every trailer on apple's site?
[23:12:55] jams: yep
[23:13:07] ** kormoc winces **
[23:13:12] laga: haha

[23:13:28] Chutt: that's pretty broken
[23:13:38] sphery: and, really (though iamlindoro_ would know better than I), I'd bet the whole apple trailers thing could /easily/ be put into MythTube
[23:13:42] Dagmar: The real question is, can it take the Crown Of Thorns award away from MythStream?
[23:14:16] sphery: Dagmar: how long has MythStream been causing segfaults on some machines when exiting, now?  :)
[23:14:34] laga: Dagmar: no. mythappletrailer is simple. it may be wrong, but the UI is easy to understand.
[23:14:44] laga: Dagmar: compare that to mythstream..
[23:15:00] sphery: iamlindoro_: did you ever look at (or ask the "other dev" ;) about putting the Apple trailers into MythTube?
[23:15:35] Dagmar: sphery: At least segfaulting on exit means it exits.
[23:16:01] Dagmar: I have a much bigger problem with it jumping back to the screen you wanted to get to five clicks and twenty seconds ago after you've given up and tried to find an alternate route
[23:16:09] sphery: Dagmar: but it also takes out mythfrontend :)
[23:16:17] Dagmar: Wow I never had it do that

[23:28:15] janneg: Chutt: have you tried the mpeg2 sample I posted earlier
[23:29:52] iamlindoro__: sphery, Sorry, was on my commute home-- yes, I looked at it a bit-- the MythTube RSS parser is pretty dumb and needs some improving, but it would be easily doable
[23:30:21] sphery: iamlindoro__: sweet... die, mythappletrailers, die!
[23:30:41] iamlindoro__: sphery, I *do* think that Apple trailers would take a bit of special handling, though
[23:30:57] iamlindoro__: That said, it supports drop-in scripts and would be *easily* doable there
[23:31:06] iamlindoro__: without writing anything but perl, even
[23:31:22] iamlindoro__: and searchable at that
[23:31:22] sphery: janneg: In the update for the CHAR columns, I did not include a conversion to VARCHAR, but if you plan to do so, it would be the perfect time (and you have a nice list of the 4 tables with multi-character CHAR fields :)
[23:32:15] jams: iamlindoro- maybe write a perl wrapper around the php
[23:32:25] gbee: heh, just found a £10 note in among some old paperwork, nice suprise
[23:32:26] Dagmar: Oh shoot the PHP and write it in perl
[23:32:46] directhex: shoot the perl and write it in c#!
[23:32:51] sphery: iamlindoro__: cool. I still haven't seen anything showing TOS for the Apple RSS feed, but people keep saying use like that is allowed
[23:33:07] iamlindoro__: I myself would prefer just writing a tiny bit of special case handling for the apple trailers and adding their RSS feed as a podcast
[23:33:13] gbee: eww, C#

[23:34:49] iamlindoro__: gbee, Already doable there-- MythTube really has a podcast component and a searchable drop-in script component, and both are easily doable I should think

[23:35:47] iamlindoro__: Naw
[23:35:50] gbee: cool, I haven't been following a word that was said here in the last 30 minutes, so maybe it's already come up
[23:35:57] jams: sphery- i was just thinking that very same thing
[23:36:10] iamlindoro__: Maybe de facto bug fixer, but there's lots of it I don't understand

[23:40:15] sphery: kormoc: BTW, thanks a lot for the help with the MySQL for the people-fixing patch. It turned out it was pulling the name out of the DB that was causing issues (since it's actually corrupt UTF-8 from the old pre-Qt4/pre-UTF-8 code). So, I used your query as an example for creating mine. (I didn't use your exact query because the whole join thing was hurting my brain when trying to figure out has-dup/no-dup/has-multiple-dups ...

[23:52:33] GreyFoxx: For me the OSD was clipped at the edge of the "video" window.

[23:53:46] GreyFoxx: I know import whcih I use for normal screenshots wont do it
