[00:18:51] | deeemac: | I'm trying to get an idea for the best way to structure a mythtv configuration, the setup would be 4 boxes with 2 tv tuner cards in each, with one channel to each tuner card, would I need 1–2 boxes as a primary/secondary backend to process jobs and store everything, and setup the 4 boxes as front ends? |
[00:19:34] | Dagmar: | Why did you need 8 tuners again? |
[00:19:58] | deeemac: | Trying to utilize mythtv for a video recording system |
[00:20:14] | Dagmar: | Perhaps you need to spend more time reading the wiki then |
[00:20:50] | Dagmar: | Tuners and frontends have little to do with each other, and it sure sounded like you were talking about putting tuner cards in them |
[00:21:31] | deeemac: | I have been reading up on the wiki |
[00:22:40] | wagnerrp: | why couldnt you put four card in each of two boxes? |
[00:22:41] | deeemac: | so the ones with the tuner cards in them should be the backends it sounds like |
[00:22:57] | wagnerrp: | the ones with the tuner cards must be the backends |
[00:22:58] | deeemac: | wagnerrp: that could be an option, I'll have to check the specs |
[00:23:06] | wagnerrp: | they may or may not have frontends on them |

[00:23:09] | wagnerrp: | thats up to you |
[00:23:23] | Dagmar: | Why there'd only be two tuners per machine is another big mystery |
[00:23:45] | wagnerrp: | when you say a 'video recording system', what kind of video are you intending to record? |

[00:23:53] | Dagmar: | Maybe you should call in a professional to help you, since you're talking about spending a really large amount of money on this |
[00:24:29] | deeemac: | each tuner card goes to a room that has a camera |
[00:24:31] | wagnerrp: | are you wanting to always be recording 8 channels, and always the same 8 channels? |
[00:24:37] | deeemac: | wagnerrp: yes |
[00:24:43] | wagnerrp: | mythtv is not a security system |
[00:24:52] | iamlindoro: | Erm, Myth is *not* for surveillance |
[00:24:53] | deeemac: | this is not a security system |
[00:25:00] | deeemac: | nor surveillance |
[00:25:04] | iamlindoro: | or for spying on your hotel guests and making amateur porno |
[00:25:12] | deeemac: | iamlindoro haha |
[00:25:14] | Dagmar: | If you say "reality show" we're obligated to have you banned from Freenode. |
[00:25:15] | iamlindoro: | or for *anything* related to cameras |
[00:25:41] | iamlindoro: | or for courtrooms |
[00:25:46] | iamlindoro: | or for taking depositions |
[00:25:53] | kormoc: | Everyone at *my* hotel is a professional, thankyouverymuch! |
[00:25:53] | wagnerrp: | iamlindoro: one of my cousins got married in gatlingburg, so the whole family went down there for the wedding |
[00:25:53] | iamlindoro: | TV |
[00:25:55] | iamlindoro: | Just TV |
[00:26:19] | deeemac: | iamlindoro: it seems to work just fine, was just having trouble linking everything together |
[00:26:32] | wagnerrp: | and were pretty sure the 'entertainment' at the hotel was for them to pay some woman to go skinny dipping at the pool/hottub with a CCTV feed through the cable system |
[00:28:06] | Dagmar: | wagnerrp: They're hillbilly down there, but not *that* hillbilly |
[00:28:35] | Dagmar: | So far it's sounding like a reality show to me |
[00:28:54] | wagnerrp: | this was back in the late 90's, before the whole reality show thing kicked off |
[00:29:13] | Dagmar: | I was referring to deeemac |
[00:29:18] | iamlindoro: | I love all the people who want exact answers with a smile, but what they're doing is too TOP SEKRIT for you to know |
[00:29:23] | deeemac: | Dagmar: its not a reality show |
[00:29:31] | Dagmar: | So what it the deal then? |
[00:29:38] | Dagmar: | s/it/is/; |
[00:29:39] | wagnerrp: | well of course not! |
[00:29:48] | wagnerrp: | none of those shows have anything to do with reality of any sort |
[00:30:05] | J-e-f-f-A: | Ain't that the truth!!!!! |
[00:30:40] | deeemac: | Dagmar: its to record classrooms |
[00:30:41] | wagnerrp: | but calling it 'artificial tv' just doesnt have the same ring to it |
[00:30:44] | Dagmar: | In real life, someone in there would have to be non-pathetic enough to just slap the others until they grew up |
[00:30:56] | Dagmar: | deeeman: So what part of "It's not for surveillance" is confusing you |

[00:33:02] | Dagmar: | You should probably read the docs then |
[00:33:06] | justinh: | just peeked in |
[00:33:13] | Dagmar: | Because reading is fundamental. |
[00:33:53] | justdave: | hmm, no sound under Linux on the new mini :( |
[00:34:10] | justdave: | on the plus side, the new mini handles the 1080p stuff with only 1GB of RAM in it. :) |
[00:34:49] | justinh: | 1080p what though? mkv? files from your own bluray discs? |

[00:38:32] | justdave: | pretty sure it started life at 1080i and got deinterlaced |
[00:38:36] | Dagmar: | Thank god |
[00:38:53] | wagnerrp: | what framerate is it? 24 or 30fps? |
[00:39:03] | justinh: | doesn't count in that case. user encodes are not what I'd call 'real world' material |
[00:40:00] | justdave: | which one is the frame rate, crf? |
[00:40:19] | wagnerrp: | framerate is not set within the h264 stream |
[00:40:38] | wagnerrp: | try a 'ffmpeg -i' |
[00:41:11] | wagnerrp: | that profile looks designed for hardware decoders |
[00:41:27] | wagnerrp: | its rather lacking in any of the more advanced settings |
[00:41:28] | justdave: | QTP says it s 24.46 |
[00:41:37] | wagnerrp: | or other things that may break hardware playback |
[00:42:08] | justdave: | ffmpeg says it's 23.98 |
[00:42:16] | wagnerrp: | so its not deinterlaced |
[00:42:33] | wagnerrp: | or... it was deinterlaced badly |

[00:44:15] | wagnerrp: | the old 1.86 minimac should have been capable of doing that without breaking a sweat |
[00:44:26] | justdave: | yeah, it was, after I added RAM to it |
[00:44:31] | justdave: | it couldn't do it on 1GB of RAM |
[00:44:44] | justdave: | with 3GB in it it does it fine |

[00:46:09] | wagnerrp: | my aged, single-core, low end A64, with only 1GB of memory, can play back that bitrate, while simultaneously recording several channels |
[00:47:34] | wagnerrp: | and it was encoded using CAVLC |
[00:47:51] | wagnerrp: | which means either the encoder didnt know what they were doing |
[00:48:10] | wagnerrp: | or they were targetting an audience with slower computers |
[00:48:12] | ** Dagmar rings a bell ** | |
[00:48:37] | clever: | found a reproducable segfault! |
[00:48:49] | wagnerrp: | which, considering any modern computer should be able to play back that bitrate with CABAC, and any aged system probably shouldnt try playing back 1080p anyway |

[00:50:12] | clever: | nvm its a bug in my own patch |
[00:50:16] | wagnerrp: | which means... they hardsubbed? |
[00:50:31] | wagnerrp: | i surely hope thats not the case |
[00:50:52] | clever: | i prefer soft-subbed files with an optional subtitle track |
[00:51:15] | wagnerrp: | or they kept the subs as an external file, which again i hope is not the case with modern containers that support integrated subs |
[00:51:26] | clever: | most stuff i dl has that option nowadays |
[00:52:04] | clever: | .ass files are also fun because i can download the 'raw' (untranslated) version that takes a while hours before the translation |
[00:52:11] | clever: | so i can get the whole thing in english sooner |
[00:52:46] | clever: | when the translation does come out, i allready have the relatively massive video content and can just dl a 50kb .ass file |
[00:52:51] | wagnerrp: | you would download a lot of .ass... |

[00:56:55] | justinh: | I want it to stop |
[00:57:28] | clever: | i found a post online claiming that DST was making the days shorter(less sunlight) meaning we use more energy |
[00:57:30] | justinh: | wagnerrp: so blame the Germans. they started WW2 after all :P |
[00:57:36] | clever: | and that we should just make the days longer:P |
[00:58:14] | clever: | the idiot was trying to say that stoping DST would make more sunlight hours/day and solve global warming..... |

[02:11:45] | thebigt: | ive had problems with graphics on the old thing form the start |
[02:12:17] | J-e-f-f-A: | Sounds like your video card isn't happy with either QT or GL. What's the video card? Do you have the proper driver installed? |
[02:13:16] | thebigt: | its a nvida but its at lest 10 years old |
[02:14:43] | thebigt: | i installed it form the pop up that came up when i first installed ubuntu |
[02:14:47] | J-e-f-f-A: | thebigt: Humm... What card? You should be able to read the card type with 'lspci' I think... |

[02:19:18] | J-e-f-f-A: | thebigt: Well, for Standard Definition, you might get away with it... Looks like the Nvidia Legacy drivers still support that card – head over to nvidia and download them, and read the install instructions first... |

[02:27:27] | Lexridge: | doing good J-e-f-f-a. How are you doing? |
[02:28:10] | J-e-f-f-A: | Not bad... waiting for it to warm up... I'm getting really tired of seeing snow... just starting to get above freezing on a daily basis the last week or so... |
[02:29:21] | Lexridge: | damn, what state are you in? |
[02:29:44] | J-e-f-f-A: | Massachusetts... it was 31 when I left for work this morning at 8:15... |
[02:29:50] | Lexridge: | we were either in the 70s last week, or close to it, but now it's snowing again :( |
[02:30:34] | Lexridge: | low is suppose to be 26 tonight. I'm so fscking sick of winter. This has certainly been a bad one for us. |
[02:30:48] | Lexridge: | and you too, I'm sure. |
[02:32:21] | Lexridge: | the station where I work is scheduled to go HD on tuesday for our CBS....cable only unforch. We should have been full HD already, but long story. |
[02:32:56] | J-e-f-f-A: | Lexridge: It's not as bad (physically) on me since we bought a 2nd-hand snowblower last summer for $30 at a yard sale... Just had to clean the carb and it runs amost like new... (ariens 24" real two-stage snowblower)... ;-) |
[02:33:11] | Lexridge: | nice! |
[02:34:20] | Lexridge: | I still use a snow shovel. I probably need the workout anyway....but not the heart attack. |
[02:34:40] | J-e-f-f-A: | Yeah, I wasn't even considering it, thinking the guy wanted $150 or more... but my wife asked "How much for the snowblower?" (it's from the 80's) – and he said "$30 bucks"... Well, that peaked my curiosity as to what was wrong with it. But when it started on the first pull and sounded great, I said "SOLD!" ;-) |
[02:35:04] | Lexridge: | even nicer :) |
[02:35:37] | J-e-f-f-A: | Lexridge: Yeah, it would stall easily, but after taking the carb apart and cleaning it thouroughly, it works perfectly... ;-) |
[02:36:29] | Lexridge: | I'd love to have one, but my storage space seems to keep getting smaller and smaller. I need to have a garage sale. |
[02:37:08] | Lexridge: | do you know anyone that needs a nice Mazda 13B rotary engine? Free even. :) |
[02:37:12] | ** J-e-f-f-A just wishes he had a garage! ;-) It's currently outside under a couple of blue recycling bin containers... ;-) ** | |

[02:39:15] | J-e-f-f-A: | Lexridge: Yeah, some year I'll have a garage... for now I've got a couple of small sheds and basically a 3' high crawl space under my 3-season porch... |
[02:40:21] | Lexridge: | I wanna sell this place, but with the housing market down so far, I'd probably be best to wait. I want a bigger garage, and a huge basement for my recording studio. |
[02:40:39] | thebigt: | its saying that it cant oppen the file when i run the command |
[02:41:22] | J-e-f-f-A: | thebigt: you have to save it on your system, you can't just run it in "X" after downloading it. |
[02:42:46] | J-e-f-f-A: | It's outlined in the install instructions, but you basically have to download the driver file and put it somewhere you can remember (desktop is probably fine, the home directory of your myth user is probably better)... |
[02:43:16] | thebigt: | lol im dumb forgot to cd to the right directery |
[02:43:43] | J-e-f-f-A: | and make sure you have the kernel sources installed (with your package manager) – then set your system to boot into shell-only mode (init level 3) and run the install script via "sh scriptname.sh" |
[02:45:41] | J-e-f-f-A: | thebigt: If you've got your kenel sources downloaded, it should extract and build the driver and make the necessary changes to the xorg.conf file... |
[02:46:02] | J-e-f-f-A: | then you should just have to change your init level back to 5 and reboot... |
[02:46:25] | Lexridge: | you shouldn't even have to reboot. Just changing the init level should do it. |

[02:55:07] | wagnerrp: | J-e-f-f-A: autologin... meaning youre running GDM/KDM? |
[02:56:29] | J-e-f-f-A: | wagnerrp: Yeah, running KDE as a desktop, there's a setup for it in there... |
[02:57:04] | wagnerrp: | on a dedicated mythfrontend, theres no need for kde or any sort of login manager |
[02:57:14] | ** J-e-f-f-A isn't a linux 'expert', but learns more and more over time... ** | |
[02:57:28] | wagnerrp: | just add something to su into 'mythtv' and startx, directly into the init scripts |
[02:57:51] | J-e-f-f-A: | wagnerrp: Humm... that might help that Asus Pundit P2 play ATSC HD a little smoother... (Athlon XP 3200+) |
[02:58:27] | wagnerrp: | well my A64 3200+ (2GHz) plays HD just fine, with plenty of headroom |
[02:58:44] | wagnerrp: | yours is... 2.2? |
[02:58:45] | J-e-f-f-A: | wagnerrp: It's also got crappy gfx iirc... |

[03:09:36] | wagnerrp: | im going to say its the quality of product |
[03:09:49] | wagnerrp: | there are some dirt cheap upscalers you can get |
[03:09:50] | Lexridge: | wagnerrp: I'd guess you are correct. |
[03:09:58] | wagnerrp: | there are some very expensive upscalers you can get |
[03:09:59] | Lexridge: | what is an upscaler? |
[03:10:17] | wagnerrp: | take any content of any format and output 1080p |
[03:10:22] | Lexridge: | oh, okay |
[03:10:42] | wagnerrp: | the cheap ones may only do analog, or only digital |
[03:10:53] | J-e-f-f-A: | Lexridge: For the same reason that a commercial NEC 40" LCD monitor is like $3k, and an "Visio" 40" LCD is like $800... The NECs are designed for 24x7 use, the Visio died after 1 yr of 24x7 use... |
[03:10:54] | wagnerrp: | more expensive ones will convert analog to digital |
[03:10:58] | wagnerrp: | or do better upscaling |
[03:10:59] | Lexridge: | we call that an upconverter for SD, and a cross-converter for HD. |
[03:11:05] | wagnerrp: | or do better audio processing as well |
[03:11:08] | wagnerrp: | or have less latency |
[03:11:15] | wagnerrp: | or be a better processing chip |

[03:13:11] | Lexridge: | My results in upconverting SD to HD has been good. The video does not look better, but at least looks the same. |
[03:13:25] | Lexridge: | wagnerrp: yea, of course. :) |
[03:13:25] | wagnerrp: | consume just support svideo, component, vga, dvi, hdmi... |
[03:13:47] | Lexridge: | which is enough. HDMI is easily to convert to SDI and the reverse. |
[03:13:55] | wagnerrp: | looks like you get serial and network control |
[03:14:02] | wagnerrp: | theres probably genlock support |

[03:20:11] | Lexridge: | I still have mine too, somewhere. |
[03:25:04] | Lexridge: | wagnerrp: The thing is, this box is $3k, but does more than the next cheapest unit available, at $10k. They cannot keep these suckers on the shelves. We were back ordered from the manufacturer for 6wks to get ours. |

[05:09:17] | iamlindoro: | frustrating |
[05:09:20] | wagnerrp: | google cache it is.... |
[05:09:36] | iamlindoro: | they don't let you get digest mail of their dev list and it's too high volume for me to stay subscribed to |

[05:13:25] | mzb_d800: | hi all, I was speaking to someone a few weeks ago about themes for LCD displays in mythtv (lcdproc) |
[05:13:47] | mzb_d800: | does anyone recall the name of the guy talking about this? |
[05:14:33] | mzb_d800: | (I don't log irc these days;) |
[05:14:35] | wagnerrp: | i think J-e-f-f-A has been working on revamping lcdproc |
[05:14:58] | mzb_d800: | hmm, iirc it was a name I'm not familiar with |
[05:15:03] | mzb_d800: | not to worry |
[05:15:22] | mzb_d800: | if subject comes up I've now got a 20x4 on my mythbox |
[05:15:42] | mzb_d800: | planning on a few changes ... we'll see |
[05:16:05] | mzb_d800: | also have a number of 16x2's for other boxes that I'll get around to at some stage |

[05:47:36] | mzb_d800: | sounds like we all need to get out more ;) |
[05:47:47] | wagnerrp: | i had to scrub off the bird crap and bugs that had accumulated on it over the winter |
[05:48:00] | mzb_d800: | ah, BBQ |
[05:48:44] | mzb_d800: | yeah ... know the feeling. Have the luxury of the father-outlaw's high pressure washer atm ;) ... not sure if I can be bothered ;) |
[05:49:44] | mzb_d800: | (and his super-concentrated caustic wash labelled "Acid Wash: WARNING – dilute ... heh ... we'll you get the idea;) |

[05:50:17] | wagnerrp: | weve got a pressure washer, but ive never actually used the fluid attachment |

[05:50:29] | mzb_d800: | I hate to think |
[05:50:33] | wagnerrp: | or at least theres a little hose coming out that back that i assume thats what its for |
[05:51:05] | wagnerrp: | ...looks like youre supposed to put it into a bottle of detergent or something |
[05:51:33] | mzb_d800: | 1. spray BBQ with caustic solution, 2. spray off with high-pressure, 3. allow to dry. |
[05:51:48] | mzb_d800: | sounds simple ... doesn't usually end up that way (lack of practice?) |
[05:52:18] | wagnerrp: | results in pile of slag on ground, formerly BBQ |
[05:52:38] | mzb_d800: | lol |

[05:53:50] | wagnerrp: | worst i would come across would be little splatter holes in my clothes when i came home |

[10:06:41] | trevor: | Hi there... I'm wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on the "tinny audio" problem. |
[10:07:06] | trevor: | I've done extensive google searching and seem to be getting a number of different answers, none of which quite seem to work. |
[10:07:56] | CaptainCaveman: | I had that with my PVR150 for a time. I never really cured it |
[10:08:06] | trevor: | Hmm. |
[10:08:15] | trevor: | I've tried adding this to my channel changing script: |
[10:08:18] | trevor: | /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --set-audio-input 2 -d /dev/video0 |
[10:08:22] | trevor: | /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --set-audio-input 1 -d /dev/video0 |
[10:08:31] | CaptainCaveman: | every once in a while it'd start a recording & it'd be tinny |
[10:08:41] | trevor: | and I thought I'd fixed it... but I got more tinnyness on a recording today... |
[10:08:58] | CaptainCaveman: | luckily things are repeated so often on UK cable I could just re-record (not fade away) |
[10:08:59] | trevor: | Well.. what I've read indicates it's an ivtv version issue... |
[10:09:18] | CaptainCaveman: | I tried loads of versions |
[10:09:20] | trevor: | I've recently upgraded my ubuntu kernel to the server version... trying to get 4GB of memory working on my backend... |
[10:09:36] | CaptainCaveman: | 4GB? why the hell? |
[10:09:47] | trevor: | It's one of the very few things I've not gotten working on my new Ubuntu server install.. never saw it before on my Slackware backend... :) |
[10:10:11] | fred_basset: | trevor: you running a 64bit version of ubuntu? |
[10:10:16] | trevor: | Mythbackend isn't the only thing running on this thing... it only had 1GB of memory before, and the swap was software raided... |
[10:10:19] | trevor: | fred_basset: nope. |
[10:10:36] | fred_basset: | then you'll only have a bit over 3gb of useful memory |
[10:10:44] | trevor: | server was hanging/crashing, and the 1GB of memory seemed like the likely bottleneck, and 4GB of memory was cheap |
[10:10:47] | fred_basset: | that's a 32bit thing |
[10:10:48] | trevor: | fred_basset: Actually, no. |
[10:10:48] | CaptainCaveman: | software raid for swap? |
[10:10:57] | CaptainCaveman: | sheesh |
[10:11:03] | trevor: | If you upgrade to the server-kernel, the last 0.8 GB frees up |
[10:11:15] | fred_basset: | ah, they use the funky patches |
[10:11:22] | trevor: | CaptainCaveman: I know, but it's reccomended, as if the raid is on the crashed drive, the machine will crash |
[10:11:43] | CaptainCaveman: | wooo HDD crash causes machine fallover. |
[10:11:46] | trevor: | I'm uncertain if tinnyness came before or after that... I believe before, but not sure. |
[10:12:01] | trevor: | Well, CaptainCaveman, I'm not worrying about it anymore.. :) |
[10:12:11] | trevor: | $30 for a 4GB upgrade is fine by me. |
[10:12:19] | CaptainCaveman: | they kept saying the tinny audio problem was fixed. time & again |
[10:12:26] | trevor: | nods... |
[10:12:36] | trevor: | I'm guessing mythbuntu uses it's own special kernel/ivtv setup? |
[10:12:44] | CaptainCaveman: | and I thought they had fixed it every time too. oops |

[10:13:11] | trevor: | Never had it on slackware either... :) |
[10:13:53] | CaptainCaveman: | but then, I'd built my own kernel then |
[10:13:56] | trevor: | I'd be happy with a command that would turn it off consistently, that didn't accidentally turn *on* the tinniness as well... :) |
[10:14:21] | CaptainCaveman: | what it always sounded like was really bad aliasing |
[10:14:22] | trevor: | Well, I've left Slackware after 13 years of rolling everything... and I got too old to take any more dependancy breakage... |
[10:14:52] | fred_basset: | gets boring after a while |
[10:15:02] | trevor: | Well.. I really didn't know what to search for to fix this... came across a tinny audio thread with an mpg that had EXACTLY the problem I had.. so I'm assuming it's the same thing. |
[10:15:07] | trevor: | ndos |
[10:15:08] | CaptainCaveman: | or like a scifi voice effect where the audio is chopped off & on hundreds of timmes a second |
[10:15:18] | trevor: | OK, good to know there isn't a quick fix. |
[10:15:25] | CaptainCaveman: | like the aliens in 'V' :D |
[10:15:31] | trevor: | Let's me focus my study a bit. |
[10:16:05] | trevor: | is there a way to determine ivtv version in Ubuntu? |
[10:16:17] | trevor: | I'm assuming it's just rolled into the kernel.. should be in... messages... |
[10:16:20] | trevor: | lemme check. |
[10:16:37] | fred_basset: | /var/log/dmesg will have the boot msgs |
[10:18:08] | trevor: | 1.4 |
[10:18:11] | trevor: | 1.4.0 |
[10:18:26] | trevor: | it's in messages as well, apparently.. (though harder to find) |
[10:18:58] | trevor: | CaptainCaveman: sounds a bit more like fingernails on a blackboard mixed with V aliens. |
[10:19:31] | trevor: | someone posted an mpg clip... here... |
[10:19:34] | CaptainCaveman: | heh. was never that bad here |
[10:19:35] | trevor: | http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zjmdjdunzgi |
[10:19:41] | trevor: | that's exactly what I'm getting. |
[10:19:52] | CaptainCaveman: | no audio here. Mr iPoo is playing his 'music' today |
[10:20:00] | trevor: | lol |
[10:20:19] | trevor: | It's interesting how many of these posts are from 2009 |
[10:20:28] | trevor: | I'm wondering how new a problem this is? |
[10:21:55] | CaptainCaveman: | maybe changes to support other hardware have kinked stuff |
[10:22:07] | trevor: | It's possible. |
[10:22:15] | trevor: | OK, I'm not going to stress about it tonight. |
[10:22:20] | fred_basset: | okay, interesting that ivtvdriver.org doesn't have a 1.4 version |
[10:22:26] | trevor: | Hmm. |
[10:22:34] | CaptainCaveman: | if the v4ldvb repo changelogs weren't such a PITA to navigate I'd have a dig |

[10:26:57] | CaptainCaveman: | playback sometimes gets weirdly offset & I see a message about setting the res failing in my frontend log |
[10:27:07] | CaptainCaveman: | restart X, the xrandr works |
[10:28:20] | CaptainCaveman: | xrandr works from the commandline too. should always be using 800x600 (720x576 isn't supported) but when the video is stupidly zoomed or offset, setting it to 1024x768 manually fixes it. Weird stuff |
[10:31:24] | CaptainCaveman: | damn freedesktop.org's invalid certificates |
[10:31:52] | fred_basset: | is it a cacert.org root CA? |
[10:32:28] | CaptainCaveman: | dunno. just added the exception |
[10:33:07] | fred_basset: | cacert's root CA generally needs importing explicitly |
[10:35:15] | fred_basset: | my new toy turned up yesterday |
[10:35:28] | fred_basset: | not a bad bit of kit for 150 quid |
[10:36:21] | CaptainCaveman: | cool |
[10:36:31] | fred_basset: | drive arrives today hopefully, so i can spend sunday arvo building it |
[10:36:47] | CaptainCaveman: | hrm. looking in the driver code for this intel thing it should support 1280x720 as a native res |
[10:38:34] | fred_basset: | it's a 3g celery, passive cooling, 1x dvb-t card, 1x wireless net card |
[10:38:57] | fred_basset: | 7.1 audio, shed loads of connectors, even SCART!!!! |
[10:39:41] | CaptainCaveman: | is it quiet? |
[10:39:48] | fred_basset: | only limitation is internally only room for 1x 3.5" sata, 1x 5" ide (meant for dvd) |
[10:40:00] | fred_basset: | can't tell yet |
[10:40:22] | fred_basset: | powered it up in the workroom at the office which has about 30 machines running in it |
[10:40:48] | CaptainCaveman: | heh |
[10:40:52] | fred_basset: | didn't _seem_ too loud, but won't really know till i build it up at home |
[10:41:30] | CaptainCaveman: | god, I wish there was a way of setting intel tv out stuff without xrandr. like a nice app with sliders |
[10:41:46] | fred_basset: | i may have that fun to come then |
[10:41:47] | CaptainCaveman: | changes don't get loaded until a mode change |
[10:42:02] | fred_basset: | it's got the intel graphics media video card thing |
[10:42:10] | fred_basset: | onboard |
[10:42:24] | CaptainCaveman: | so if you're trying to adjust the picture position, set the border or whatever... change modes or you won't see it |
[10:42:44] | CaptainCaveman: | so change X value, change mode, change mode to see effect in previous mode. messy |
[10:44:12] | fred_basset: | ugh |
[10:46:33] | CaptainCaveman: | looks like the latest tv out code is pretty much the same too |
[10:50:19] | CaptainCaveman: | just digging to see if it'd be easy to poke the registers |

[11:06:03] | CaptainCaveman: | oh they fixed the tearing too :) |

[11:17:08] | CaptainCaveman: | but I suspect sending them mockups of a revamp would result in troutage |
[11:17:22] | CaptainCaveman: | yeah. effall documentation really |
[11:17:31] | CaptainCaveman: | like how the hell you set tv out format & stuff |
[11:17:53] | CaptainCaveman: | caused _major_ head scratching |
[11:18:04] | fred_basset: | tho i might end up having something that'll be persuaded to utilized the vaapi |
[11:19:31] | CaptainCaveman: | xrandr --output TV --set TV_FORMAT PAL; xrandr --output TV --set TOP 1; xrandr --output TV --set LEFT 20; xrandr --output TV --set RIGHT 5; xrandr --output TV --set BOTTOM 5; xrandr --output TV --mode 800x600 works for me |
[11:19:41] | CaptainCaveman: | (generally) |
[11:19:53] | fred_basset: | ug and fish |
[11:20:21] | CaptainCaveman: | why the eff they can't put those in xorg.conf I dunno |
[11:20:41] | CaptainCaveman: | at least they're exposed _somewhere_ |
[11:20:59] | CaptainCaveman: | or maybe they can be done in xorg.conf but I was buggered if I could find any docs |
[11:21:16] | CaptainCaveman: | maybe more digging in the source will reveal stuff :D |
[11:21:21] | CaptainCaveman: | ye olde waye |
[11:21:24] | fred_basset: | you can put the xrandr layout stuff in xorg.conf |
[11:21:52] | CaptainCaveman: | rly? hmm |
[11:22:29] | fred_basset: | although it's still basically "screen-0" right of "screen-1" type stuff |
[11:24:07] | CaptainCaveman: | not sure if they're available yet but running xrandr never showed you the list of available parameters :-\ |
[11:25:05] | CaptainCaveman: | then again, without somebody to write docs there can be no docs |
[11:26:55] | CaptainCaveman: | nah. next project. get my frontend booting MOARFASTER |

[11:50:52] | fred_basset: | i'm definitely going to give it a proper bash on this new machine |
[11:51:17] | CaptainCaveman: | a better solution would be to try & figure out why the frontend crashes & stop it doing that :) |

[11:51:51] | ** fred_basset trouts CaptainCaveman ** | |

[12:39:49] | fred_basset: | haven't actually checked that :) |
[12:43:51] | dubstar04: | whats it like mixing dvb-t and dvb-s? am i going to end up with scheduling issues? |
[12:44:12] | CaptainCaveman: | possibly |
[12:44:19] | fred_basset: | you'll get more recordings than expected due to the mismatching id's |
[12:44:35] | dubstar04: | oh |
[12:44:45] | CaptainCaveman: | but that's not that bad a downside |
[12:44:48] | fred_basset: | bit of a pita |
[12:44:55] | CaptainCaveman: | better to record too many showings than too few ;) |
[12:45:16] | dubstar04: | all i want is the hd channels! |
[12:45:35] | fred_basset: | well then hide all the other channels and there won't be a problem :) |
[12:45:58] | fred_basset: | you do gain a few more +1 channels on dvb-s |
[12:46:26] | CaptainCaveman: | when I've finished my tree hacking I'll be sourcing a dish so I can buy into some of this one tuner for few HD channels malarkey |
[12:46:29] | fred_basset: | i've also found that setting the callsigns to be the same on all the regional variations helps |
[12:46:50] | dubstar04: | what channels are missing from freesat? |
[12:47:00] | fred_basset: | CaptainCaveman: oddly enough, maplins are doing some deals on stuff like that |
[12:47:11] | fred_basset: | dubstar04: it's more the other way around |
[12:47:15] | CaptainCaveman: | couple of channel 5 things IIRC, that's it. & Four's HD |
[12:47:15] | fred_basset: | there are more on freesat |
[12:47:30] | CaptainCaveman: | not that there's much on 4HD |
[12:47:48] | CaptainCaveman: | or even ITVHD. FA to watch on ITV as is let alone in HD :P |
[12:47:54] | fred_basset: | you gain film4+1, itv3+1, itc4+1, bbc hd |
[12:48:05] | fred_basset: | few others |
[12:48:43] | CaptainCaveman: | caught a bit of something my wife recorded off ITV2. 504x576 blockovision :-\ |
[12:48:54] | fred_basset: | fugly |
[12:49:09] | fred_basset: | there are some horribly compressed channels |
[12:49:22] | CaptainCaveman: | when ofcom culls the 6 terrestrial muxes to 5, freesat will be even more worthwhile (in theory) for SDTV too |
[12:49:44] | fred_basset: | anyway, as exciting as this is, i've a new bit of hardware to install |
[12:49:49] | CaptainCaveman: | bitrates are apparently higher than on dvb-s right now but that'll change |

[13:30:50] | j-rod: | my work email address: jarod@redhat.com |
[13:30:55] | CaptainCaveman: | how had that come about anyway – people mixing repos like no tomorrow? |
[13:31:00] | shadash: | it come's from people that don't understand rpm |
[13:31:25] | shadash: | j-rod: are yo uin N. Carolina? |
[13:31:27] | Greenback: | for what it's worth, I'd imagine most devs have better things to do that sit around waiting for unimportant apps to compile when they could be getting work done instead |
[13:31:35] | j-rod: | no, westford, ma |
[13:31:40] | shadash: | and Jarod thanks for the Myth how to guide |
[13:31:47] | j-rod: | most of engineering is in the Boston area now |
[13:31:52] | CaptainCaveman: | maybe it's as easy to fall into that trap on *buntu too |
[13:31:53] | shadash: | ahhh |
[13:32:06] | CaptainCaveman: | or any other distro where you can mix & match package sources |
[13:32:14] | j-rod: | CaptainCaveman: there *is* still an issue w/Fedora if you mix multiple 3rd-party repos |
[13:32:36] | shadash: | just a little fyi fedora kickstart and your myth guide got me one of my jobs ;-) |
[13:32:58] | CaptainCaveman: | right but in my case I prolly won't even need to get near falling into that trap |
[13:33:20] | j-rod: | so that's one thing that, say, ubuntu does provide a cleaner end-user experience for |
[13:33:27] | shadash: | I created a custom installer that just works from kick start the auto installed myth |
[13:33:32] | j-rod: | you don't have to go hunt down 3rd-party repos most of the time |
[13:33:34] | Greenback: | mixing repos with any distro is going to end in tears, I keep making the mistake of mixing Mandriva's 'cooker' (unstable) repo with the stable ones :/ |
[13:33:39] | CaptainCaveman: | I gave up on the idea of making a nice compact setup of my own but it's still tempting |
[13:33:52] | j-rod: | and there aren't multiple places to get the same packages |
[13:34:04] | shadash: | the guy hiring thought I was a scary smart |
[13:34:32] | CaptainCaveman: | now I've got a dual core laptop it might be good to play with customising minimyth. that thing is teeny tiny |
[13:35:03] | CaptainCaveman: | I think all it's missing is my network driver come to think... |
[13:35:12] | shadash: | j-rod: the new fedora boot sequience is awesone |
[13:35:31] | CaptainCaveman: | rip out bootsplash & crud.. make it more nippy :) |
[13:35:45] | shadash: | I can't wait until that gets into centos |
[13:35:56] | j-rod: | yeah, plymouth and kms is pretty sweet |
[13:36:06] | CaptainCaveman: | my frontend boots way faster than my cable STB but that's still not that far short of 50 secs |
[13:36:32] | j-rod: | kms works reasonably well on a lot of radeon cards and most intel cards now |
[13:36:44] | j-rod: | nouveau is slowly coming together |
[13:37:00] | shadash: | what is KMS is that kernel level virtual machines? |
[13:37:09] | j-rod: | kernel mode setting |
[13:37:21] | shadash: | I'll look it up |
[13:37:23] | j-rod: | video adapter modes get set in-kernel instead of by X |
[13:37:29] | shadash: | ahh |
[13:37:37] | shadash: | that will be cool |
[13:37:41] | j-rod: | that's what enables the seamless graphical boot -> X startup transition w/o flicker |
[13:38:02] | j-rod: | the vt is already set to the proper resolution, so X doesn't have to do a mode switch to start up |
[13:38:19] | shadash: | It looks awesome |
[13:38:34] | shadash: | thanks for all the hard work ;-) |
[13:38:35] | j-rod: | and your console isn't 80x24 on a 1920x1200 monitor, its 1920x1200 |
[13:39:09] | CaptainCaveman: | meh. I just want it to be as near instant-on as possible :D |
[13:39:24] | CaptainCaveman: | without the awful mess that is STR |
[13:39:42] | CaptainCaveman: | and STR is only a mess because hardware is awful at it |
[13:39:42] | j-rod: | oh, with kms, str works better too |
[13:40:01] | j-rod: | don't have to vt switch away from X before you can suspend |
[13:40:29] | j-rod: | still nowhere as good as, say, apple |
[13:40:46] | j-rod: | but improving |
[13:41:05] | CaptainCaveman: | my employer's kit takes a very long time to get from power on to usable |
[13:41:36] | j-rod: | yeah, my t61 used to take close to 30 seconds to actually be usable after str |
[13:41:41] | CaptainCaveman: | not that it should matter of course, since this stuff isn't ever meant to reboot |
[13:41:50] | CaptainCaveman: | oof |
[13:41:50] | j-rod: | its less than 10 now, but still not exactly great |
[13:42:03] | j-rod: | (actually, I haven't timed it lately) |
[13:42:23] | j-rod: | considering my 4+ year old powerbook suspends and resumes damn near instantaneously |
[13:42:37] | CaptainCaveman: | I pared my ubuntu init down as much as I dared & it's still not good enough |

[14:37:49] | lwizardl: | well I'm looking to distribute audio to all the rooms in my house. and was looking for a option to enable/disable the audio in each room sorta like a lightswitch to control the circuit |
[14:38:13] | fred_basset: | this sounds like advanced home wiring 201 |
[14:38:14] | CaptainCaveman: | better off using audio baluns & local active speakers |

[15:34:22] | SQlvpapir: | iamlindoro its on debian.. how do I find out? |
[15:34:51] | iamlindoro_: | the user you use needs to have appropriate permissions to access the hardware (usually meaning being a member of the video group or equivalent), permissions to the directories you intend to write to, and you need to have a mysql user with full permissions on the mythconverg DB |
[15:35:05] | iamlindoro_: | that's all you need, names of users and groups don't maatter so long as the above are true |

[15:38:52] | sphery: | iamlindoro_: if you're not messing with build configuration in ways that cause differing results on different packages, you're not a true gentoo-er |
[15:38:52] | iamlindoro_: | gore: I can't account for gentoo as I don't use it, but myth has a configure option called --compile-type, which you should use as --compile-type=debug to get a version with debug symbols |

[16:44:24] | logik: | good point |
[16:44:59] | sphery: | iamlindoro_: regarding the performance, even though I have a 700-recording backlog, I won't be the one complaining about issues... Some people seem to have very broken (=slow) MySQL configurations (which I'm thinking are distro defaults on some distros). |
[16:45:26] | iamlindoro_: | sphery: Hmm... guess there's no alternative but to try and see how it goes |
[16:45:38] | iamlindoro_: | IMO it's one of those things that ought to be accessible via programinfo |
[16:45:50] | iamlindoro_: | sphery: In fact, I think programinfo should expose just about everything |
[16:46:11] | sphery: | how long is a typical cast list (# of names, that is)? |
[16:46:52] | iamlindoro_: | sphery: Well it's cast/director/producers/guests/etc. but I am seeing about 20–25 names at most for a movie, 3–5 for a Daily Show ep, etc. |
[16:47:02] | iamlindoro_: | I think 20–25 bet is probably a safe bet for most cases as a max |
[16:47:08] | meshe: | sphery: that actually makes sense by by their description of what it is, if X goes into a loop waiting for hardware, i could see calls to it get queued, and the issue in trunk was fixed by fixing how the scrensaver pokes were dealt with |
[16:48:20] | meshe: | most dists (at least redhat and ubuntu) configure mysql based on the system configuration at install, even if you add more memory, mysql won't know it can use it unless you reconfigure it |
[16:48:25] | sphery: | yeah, (though more accurately, how the X locking was dealt with--just happened to be in a section of code dealing with screensaver) |
[16:49:38] | meshe: | ahhh, i guess i just skimmed the patch, it looked like it was the screensaver poke that got changed, which could also get queued if X is busy |

[17:05:56] | JEDIDIAH__: | as far as the "reload the recordings list" problem goes. perhaps "candidates" should be computed when the relevant data actually changes rather than pretty much constantly. |

[18:49:19] | iamlindoro_: | dustybin: It's a segfault, you'd need to compile with debug symbols and get a backtrace, like in the manual |
[18:49:33] | qcjn: | my card works "mplayer /dev/video0" and i manage to record with "cat /dev/video0 > program.mpg" |
[18:49:39] | sphery: | I win! 1 second sooner... |
[18:49:51] | iamlindoro_: | sphery: not here you don't : |
[18:49:52] | iamlindoro_: | :) |
[18:49:58] | dustybin: | shadash iamlindoro_ aye ok thanks |
[18:50:15] | iamlindoro_: | qcjn: If you are not very experienced with linux, you might find myth very difficult-- I would recommend a myth distro like mythbuntu or mythdora or linHES if that's the case |

[18:50:21] | dustybin: | monit keeps on restarting my backend quite frequently, i wonder if monit is messing it up |
[18:50:36] | iamlindoro_: | well monit won't segfault your backend |
[18:50:40] | qcjn: | iamlindoro: thanks |
[18:50:43] | sphery: | qcjn: installing and configuring MythTV is not like using the InstallShield wizard to install new software on Windows, but if you really want a MythTV system, it's worth the effort involved |
[18:50:44] | dustybin: | ok |
[18:51:01] | sphery: | qcjn: and if you use something like MythBuntu or MythDora, it's not too hard to learn |
[18:51:09] | iamlindoro_: | I win! Multiple seconds sooner |
[18:51:14] | iamlindoro_: | ;) |
[18:51:15] | sphery: | yeah, got me on that one |
[18:52:07] | sphery: | qcjn: but if you just want a PVR, likely a cable/satellite company provided DVR or even a TiVo is much cheaper (when factoring in actual cost /and/ time). |
[18:52:20] | sphery: | qcjn: If you want a hobby, though, Myth is the way to go. :) |
[18:52:43] | qcjn: | sphery: would you direct me to where to start...i have a pvr win150..Using Ubuntu 8.04 |
[18:52:52] | qcjn: | well i like to learn |
[18:53:08] | sphery: | qcjn: I'd start with http://mythbuntu.org/ |
[18:53:16] | qcjn: | ok thanks |

[19:22:51] | JEDIDIAH__: | If any Tivo could record as much as my MythTV setup, I would use it. |
[19:23:14] | JEDIDIAH__: | I doubt if I could replicate my mythvideo setup with a Tivo or DirecTV PVR. |
[19:27:30] | logik: | the newer models have eSATA so go for it |
[19:28:30] | logik: | or are you refering to multiple tuners |
[19:28:37] | sphery: | JEDIDIAH__: right, so, obviously, you don't "just want a PVR" |
[19:29:21] | wagnerrp: | didnt replaytv offer network sharing between units? |
[19:29:49] | sphery: | I think they did |
[19:29:52] | sphery: | are they gone, now? |
[19:30:10] | logik: | i think they no longer sell hardware |
[19:30:19] | wagnerrp: | their owner went bankrupt in 2003 |
[19:30:24] | sphery: | would explain why I haven't heard of them in forever |
[19:30:30] | wagnerrp: | the subsequent owner stopped producing in 2005 |

[19:31:07] | sphery: | lawsuits from "lifetime" subscribers? |
[19:31:10] | logik: | what are they getting sued for? |
[19:31:11] | Dagmar: | "The industry" has a problem with companies who give customers what they want. |
[19:31:45] | Dagmar: | They got sued for literally everything you could think of. |
[19:31:52] | JEDIDIAH__: | My older Tivos got me used to more recording capacity than modern Tivos with HD and no transcoding capacity can handle. |
[19:32:40] | sphery: | Dagmar: Y'eah, "the industry" is suing redbox for renting videos for too little money--it's unfair to traditional rental companies like BlockBuster and Hollywood Video and ... |
[19:33:02] | JEDIDIAH__: | HD really kneecaps a box in terms of how many hours it can recod. |
[19:33:05] | JEDIDIAH__: | HD really kneecaps a box in terms of how many hours it can record. |
[19:33:08] | Dagmar: | They were one of the first people to be sued for a commercial skip button. They had an injunction placed against them at the last minute that meant they had to ship their units with a remote that had a button for it, but disabled. |
[19:33:31] | sphery: | nice |

[19:34:00] | Dagmar: | ...but since the people at Replay are stubborn bastards, the moment you plugged it in, you got a new "feature" which used that button, which was a 30 second skip which would adjust itself accordingly under certain circumstances |
[19:34:29] | Dagmar: | They got sued for violating copyrights because you were allowed to use your home network to access the recordings. |
[19:34:43] | Dagmar: | Hell, they probably got sued for using vowels in their product documentation |

[19:37:17] | JEDIDIAH__: | yeah, that's sort of a "kick me" sign. |
[19:37:22] | logik: | apparently replaytv still has enough paying subscribers to still provide listings data |
[19:37:32] | wagnerrp: | except for the fact that in 1999, sending tv over the internet was still rather painful |

[19:38:16] | Dubstar_04: | what hardware would you recommend for capturing vhs to disk? |
[19:38:31] | wagnerrp: | same hardware for capturing tv to disk |
[19:38:33] | wagnerrp: | an ivtv card |
[19:38:42] | logik: | i used a pvr-250 |
[19:39:01] | Dubstar_04: | pvr-250? whats the resolution like? |
[19:39:12] | wagnerrp: | unless these are home videos, you may just want to look into re-purchasing the movie |
[19:39:12] | logik: | you can set the capture to be DVD compatible so no transcoding required |
[19:39:31] | logik: | 704x480 or 720x480 and it looks decent |
[19:39:35] | sphery: | Dubstar_04: I'd recommend just re-buying the videos on DVD or better or re-creating the recordings with a good digital camcorder (ideally HDTV)... If they're old home movies, just hire some actors... |
[19:39:38] | Dubstar_04: | they are old home movies and its for a family friend |
[19:40:28] | sphery: | Dubstar_04: the resolution of the PVR-250 isn't the problem... The resolution of the VHS is far worse. |
[19:40:55] | logik: | yes... the only reason i used 720x480 was to be DVD compatible |
[19:40:56] | iamlindoro_: | http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/when_reality_meets_product_concepts/ |

[19:42:32] | iamlindoro_: | well, close to it anyway |
[19:42:43] | logik: | i actually just set-up mythtv to record the s-video input, manually started the recording and then changed the title of the recording |
[19:42:50] | sphery: | iamlindoro_: nice on the You-SB drive |
[19:42:54] | iamlindoro_: | I know the HD-PVR driver was originally modeled after the PVR-USB2 driver so I know it exists :) |
[19:42:55] | logik: | then used mytharchive to burn the DVDs |
[19:42:56] | Dagmar: | iamlindoro: Dude, that is gross |

[21:45:07] | sphery: | termlink: meshe is right... Myth is told that a channel is the same based on callsign. If the callsign is identical, any "this channel" rules (which you probably shouldn't use, anyway, but that's a different story) will look on any channel with the same callsign. |

[21:45:55] | clever: | why shouldnt you use a "this channel" rule? |
[21:46:14] | sphery: | termlink: however, if you're saying that if you have 2 shows recording, and only the first capture card can be used and the other has a conflict, that's http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 (i.e. only LiveTV works for the input) |
[21:46:22] | sphery: | clever: because there's no reason to... |
[21:46:34] | sphery: | Why do you care which channel it comes from? If you want the show, record it. |
[21:46:49] | sid3windr: | well, no |
[21:46:55] | sid3windr: | that makes no sense |
[21:46:56] | sid3windr: | :p |
[21:46:57] | meshe: | i get the same network on chan 6 and 16 and 16 is a much higher quality |
[21:46:58] | sphery: | If you have lower-quality channels, ensure they're not the first to be used by properly configuring your system |
[21:47:17] | sid3windr: | "this show" airs on 2 different channels, but one is 3 seasons behind on the other |
[21:47:28] | sid3windr: | (for example, real life example too) |
[21:47:44] | sid3windr: | so things like "record one episode every week" or whatever are rarely what you want ;) |
[21:47:57] | sphery: | If you're saying, "I'd rather completely miss this episode than watch it in the garbage quality I get from this other channel", then why do you even have the other channel in your list |
[21:48:01] | clever: | im giving each 'this channel' rule a diff prio, so the current season will take prio over reruns |
[21:48:18] | sphery: | and, for The Simpsons, etc, teaching Myth that you've seen the episodes from 3 seasons ago is a /much/ better idea |
[21:48:19] | meshe: | you can lower the priority? |
[21:48:32] | sphery: | but, really, if you just want the new ones, set a "New episodes only" filter on the rule |
[21:48:32] | meshe: | of a channel i mean? |
[21:48:40] | sphery: | and /still/ leave it an any channel rule :) |
[21:48:40] | clever: | meshe: you can edit the prio of channels, tuners, and rules |
[21:48:49] | sid3windr: | sphery: how does it know it's a rerun? |
[21:48:53] | meshe: | hmmm, never dug into that |
[21:48:58] | sid3windr: | or rather, not one |
[21:49:06] | clever: | sphery: what if i want new&old, but want it to choose new > old when theres a conflict? |
[21:49:09] | meshe: | SD tells you |
[21:49:15] | sid3windr: | sd is useless |
[21:49:16] | sphery: | but you really shouldn't edit the priority of inputs (what was called tuners), and should be /very/ careful when editing the priority of channels |
[21:49:25] | sid3windr: | [to me] |
[21:49:32] | sphery: | anyone editing priority of inputs or channels should read section 12.6 of the HOWTO |
[21:49:38] | sphery: | http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.6 |
[21:49:41] | meshe: | noted |

[21:49:57] | clever: | sphery: i turned the bttv input prio way down because the tuner in it sucks! |

[21:50:50] | sid3windr: | as opposed to... a cooked one? |
[21:50:56] | sphery: | Most scheduler "problems" people see are due to the fact that they messed with priorities and told Myth to do something they didn't realize they were doing (i.e. record this OK show on this garbage input and don't record the better show, then the better show doesn't re-run and they miss it) |
[21:50:58] | clever: | a proper external tuner |
[21:51:15] | clever: | sid3windr: even the 'tuner' in the pvr-150 is poor quality and is helped greated by an external tuner |
[21:51:34] | sphery: | clever: that's not so much the "tuner" that's the problem |
[21:51:38] | sphery: | It's NTSC that's the problem |
[21:51:46] | sid3windr: | :) |
[21:51:48] | sphery: | the external tuner is usually using a digital feed |
[21:52:06] | motd2k (motd2k!n=motd2k@xbmc/staff/motd2k) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | |
[21:52:16] | clever: | sphery: the rogers cable box can also tune analog channels, but i think they have started to duplicate the low channels with digital feeds |
[21:52:26] | sphery: | I.e. plug a VCR that's outputting on S-Video into your PVR-x50 and record some TV through the VCR's tuner and it's not the same as using an STB |
[21:52:33] | sid3windr: | sphery: does this perhaps indicate the scheduling could be made a little more "noob" friendly? ;) |
[21:52:47] | sid3windr: | iirc in mythweb there's like 12 radiobuttons, and if you click advanced 2 more ;) |
[21:52:57] | sphery: | sid3windr: scheduling works great as long as you don't mess with things you don't understand :) |
[21:53:06] | sid3windr: | then again... most users will easily click "gimme advanced" and still mess up =) |
[21:53:10] | sid3windr: | yeah. |
[21:53:15] | termlink: | is there a command line way of editing the backend, or does it alway have to use that gui? |
[21:53:15] | sphery: | and Myth has a more advanced scheduler than any DVR I know of, so I'd haate to lose that |
[21:53:27] | clever: | my current problem is that schedules direct caught up with the massive lineup changes |
[21:53:28] | sid3windr: | yeah, I don't say tune it down, just hide some of the stuff |
[21:53:29] | meshe: | n00b settings and advanced settings, IQ test to open the advanced settings |
[21:53:31] | meshe: | ;) |

[21:53:54] | clever: | half of them are HD duplicates of others that just display an error |
[21:54:28] | sphery: | clever: sounds like you're in need of some SD lineup pruning and Myth DB pruning (in channel editor) |
[21:54:34] | clever: | yeah |
[21:54:41] | clever: | i do that ever time i find a dead recording |
[21:54:50] | sphery: | it is annoying when they change things around and you have to redo that stuff... |
[21:55:29] | sphery: | yeah, I've been lucky that all my dead recordings have been ones I didn't care about (i.e. movies being shown OTA by 3rd-rate independent stations that can't even afford B movies :) |
[21:55:45] | clever: | its often prefering a dead channel over a valid one |
[21:55:47] | sphery: | when I find one, though, it usually requires a rescan |
[21:55:56] | clever: | so i have to manualy verify the channels when resolving conflicts |
[21:56:43] | clever: | would be usefull if mythbackend could detect a lack of movement(1 static image) durring capture and give a warning |
[21:56:51] | meshe: | can a rescan be desctructive? |

[22:31:25] | kusznir: | I did notice on this occasion that something (mythwelcome?) started an EPG update as soon as it came up (second time today...), and that was running when the reconrding was supposed to start. |

[23:32:32] | iamlindoro: | J-e-f-f-A, They have a *lot* of nice UI stuff-- I personally am satisfied with where trunk's UI is at, and very optimistic about where it's going, so I'm not worried about Myth's UI in the slightest |

[23:34:49] | lyricnz: | Yeah, but WAF of bleeding edge code, is even lower than normal mythtv (lowish) |
[23:35:13] | hads: | You're doing it wrong |
[23:35:17] | iamlindoro: | I don't suggest that trunk be used to increase WAF-- but you didn't complain about WAF, you complained about eye candy |
