[00:20:12] sphery: elmojo: cool... I love that PSU.
[00:20:12] wagnerrp: sphery: im more impressed by those 150W 'gas guzzlers' needing 600W PSUs
[00:20:29] sphery: heh, yeah
[00:20:59] sphery: You can actually build one that does suck a lot of power--but generally doing so requires getting multiple tricked-out GPU's involved.
[00:21:36] wagnerrp: and you have to have them under load
[00:21:51] wagnerrp: those high end GPUs run ~100W between load and idle
[00:21:59] schdav (schdav!n=david@c-24-131-189-225.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:22:24] sphery: And, running 24/7 it adds up, but since VDPAU is only really relevant for a frontend and a frontend can be shut down when not in use, saving power on the frontend (at the expense of performance) is a bad idea IMHO.
[00:22:33] sphery: backends are the place to save power.
[00:23:18] sphery: and, with Capt M's WOL for backends patch, even they can be shut down when not in use
[00:23:40] sphery: wagnerrp: didn't realize the difference was that much on a high-end video card... that's crazy.
[00:23:58] sphery: difference between idle and fully-loaded on my Athlon XP 2400+ is about 18W
[00:24:11] sphery: of course, that CPU doesn't have a low-power idle mode
[00:24:42] wagnerrp: ive heard that the high end versions of the new intel GPU are supposed to run up to 300W
[00:25:41] wilberfan_: how do you delete storage groups??
[00:25:51] wagnerrp: probably 'd'
[00:26:54] wagnerrp: nevermind... apparently that 300W value was from someone named 'fudzilla'
[00:27:00] sphery: wagnerrp: 300W? Are these discrete cards?
[00:27:16] sphery: I was wondering how they'd get that kind of power...
[00:27:31] sphery: I think PCIe only allows 75W and 75W per molex connector...
[00:28:12] wagnerrp: the high end nvidias have two 8-pin connectors for power

[00:30:12] wagnerrp: ah, the 8-pin ones will accept 6-pin connectors
[00:30:20] wilberfan: wagnerrp, holy crap, you were right! (about the 'd')
[00:30:23] sphery: amazing how when there's so much focus on CPU power efficiency (and--at least on one side of the fence--on mobo chipset power efficiency), the GPU's don't seem to care at all...
[00:31:35] wagnerrp: well thats what hybrid graphics are for
[00:31:50] wagnerrp: when youre done playing games, youre supposed to turn off your discrete graphics
[00:31:55] wagnerrp: and continue on with your single monitor
[00:32:29] wilberfan: "could not connect to the master backend server"
[00:32:41] wagnerrp: are you running the backend?
[00:33:10] wilberfan: i would have bet soft parts of my body on it! (but maybe it's not running??)
[00:33:27] iamlindoro: That would be an ideal time *not* to bet the soft parts
[00:33:36] wilberfan: lol
[00:33:42] wagnerrp: you mean like an ear lobe?
[00:33:54] wilberfan: LOL yeah, that's the one!
[00:33:55] wagnerrp: or some belly flab?
[00:34:30] iamlindoro: sphery, Well, I'm officially a convert to bip... I can make the paranoid believe I'm alllllllways watching.
[00:34:39] sphery: heh
[00:34:48] sphery: I must play with bip, again
[00:34:51] wilberfan: well...they wuz right...it wasn't running....
[00:35:04] wilberfan: now i have no audio watching live tv....
[00:35:16] wagnerrp: time to go get the knife
[00:35:44] sphery: wondering why I'm getting 2.8MB/s throughput from my frontend to my fileserver...
[00:36:07] iamlindoro: because you're having clever host it on his best computer and network card?
[00:36:24] sphery: heh
[00:36:29] wilberfan: what add'l packages do i need to install to be able to play downloaded .avi's etc...?
[00:36:36] wagnerrp: mythvideo
[00:36:42] wilberfan: mythplugins?
[00:36:44] wilberfan: ah...
[00:36:45] iamlindoro: You mean lawfully encoded by you AVIs?
[00:36:56] iamlindoro: and in no way retrieved from the internet?
[00:37:02] ** iamlindoro scowls **
[00:37:05] wagnerrp: if your plugins all come in one bulk file, then yes, mythplugins
[00:37:10] wilberfan: iamlindoro, EXACTLY!
[00:37:24] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: there are lawful and semi-lawful avis available online

[00:38:30] wagnerrp: ive seen game demos, and in game video released online as avis
[00:38:31] sphery: heh... let's see them find that one in our logs...
[00:38:39] wagnerrp: or maybe a relative puts their home movies up as avis
[00:39:00] wagnerrp: and anime is somewhat of a grey area until a company over here licenses it for distribution
[00:39:12] iamlindoro: et tu, brute?
[00:39:19] iamlindoro: whoah whoah
[00:39:40] iamlindoro: stuff that isn't distributed locally is in no way open season to download it
[00:39:43] sphery: huh, getting 11.2MB/s between same fileserver and different host...
[00:39:47] schdav: is there a way to turn on a user job for all schedules?
[00:40:02] wagnerrp: perhaps, but there is no one over here to care
[00:40:13] iamlindoro: I care
[00:40:43] wagnerrp: i mean no companies to care
[00:40:50] wilberfan: do i need to install some video players?? (Sorry, i'm used to mythbuntu...which seems to take care of most of this for ya!)
[00:40:59] sphery: schdav: you'll have to edit each schedule individually
[00:41:03] wagnerrp: mythvideo uses mythtv's player
[00:41:07] sphery: schdav: not too bad if you do it in mythweb...
[00:41:08] wagnerrp: nothing to install but the plugin
[00:41:09] iamlindoro: wilberfan, myth has its own internal ivdeo player which is as good or better than any
[00:41:12] wilberfan: none of my (legal) ;.avi's will play in th frontend
[00:41:24] schdav: i could be a terrible user and hit the db directly i guess
[00:41:30] schdav: but that would make me a terrible user
[00:41:38] wilberfan: wagnerrp, which plugin? mythplayer, or...?
[00:41:42] iamlindoro: You earn points for recognizing that
[00:41:57] wagnerrp: mythvideo
[00:41:58] sphery: schdav: have Recordings Schedules page in one window then Ctrl-Click a bunch of schedules (to get their schedule page), then check the box, then submit and go to the next tab

[00:42:09] wagnerrp: mythtv has playback libraries
[00:42:14] wagnerrp: mythvideo uses said libraries
[00:43:00] wilberfan: hmmm... wonder why the videos aren't playing... "loading" shows for a split second..then back to the video manager
[00:43:17] iamlindoro: if only myth produced some sort of log!
[00:43:21] iamlindoro: alas...
[00:43:24] iamlindoro: maybe by 1.0
[00:43:36] wagnerrp: go into the settings and make sure the default player is set to 'Internal'
[00:43:44] wilberfan: maybe i'm missing some codecs,or....?
[00:43:51] iamlindoro: That's windows talk
[00:43:55] iamlindoro: we don't do codecs
[00:44:06] wilberfan: wagnerrp, oooh. good idea... I don't think it said "Internal"....
[00:44:08] wilberfan: brb
[00:44:25] iamlindoro: linux media players are built around one core monolithic set of libraries that handle everything that can be done

[00:47:21] wilberfan: mythbuntu does this, does mythtv? remote control abilities...? or is that more packages to install??
[00:47:41] iamlindoro: mythbuntu *is* mythtv
[00:47:52] schdav: lirc ftw
[00:47:52] iamlindoro: it's just a distro built around myth, not a seperate application
[00:48:21] wilberfan: so lirc is included if i've installed mythtv package?
[00:48:33] iamlindoro: depends on how your packager works
[00:48:42] schdav: why did you leave mythbuntu?
[00:48:50] iamlindoro: if you packager has compiled in lirc support, then myth can use it... but you still need lirc installed and working on your system
[00:48:56] iamlindoro: exactly, what schdav said
[00:49:28] wilberfan: schdav, well i like mythbuntu...but i'm fonder of Sidux as a distro.... so i'm trying to get mythtv running on the latest sidux...
[00:50:00] wilberfan: just a preference thing... (big props to mythbuntu, though)
[00:50:19] wilberfan: how do i check and see if lirc installed?
[00:50:46] iamlindoro: you figure out how your distro's pacakge manager works, and check there
[00:51:13] wilberfan: it's apt-get (sidux is debian-based)
[00:51:33] sphery: wilberfan: look in your mythfrontend output/log file for: "lirc init success using configuration file ..."
[00:52:01] wilberfan: where does the frontend output that log to?

[00:54:51] wilberfan: hmmm.... lirc IS installed ("already the newest version")
[00:55:00] iamlindoro: Then you need to configure it
[00:56:12] wilberfan: which is done how?
[00:56:35] iamlindoro: by reading the lirc manual and the many sources on the wiki and following them

[00:57:29] wilberfan: well, i'm an uber noob....but that's probably not much of an excuse...

[01:00:22] schdav: one approach might be to have an install of mythbuntu to refer to
[01:00:39] schdav: so you can learn what it does for you that you aren't aware of
[01:01:00] wilberfan: i DO have an install of mythbuntu..on a separate partition. that's why i'm just familiar enough with myth to get into trouble...
[01:01:21] wilberfan: and, as i said, mythbuntu comes packaged with (just about) everything you need...
[01:01:40] wilberfan: i'm learning today that that's not the case with a non-mythbuntu setup...
[01:01:41] schdav: so mount that partition and check out the lirc config
[01:02:47] wilberfan: that would have happened after i determined that lirc was even running on the new install...
[01:03:54] wagnerrp: mythbuntu is designed specifically with mythtv in mind, same with knoppmyth and mythdora
[01:04:02] sphery: MythBuntu--earning former users' respect package-by-harrowing-package install/configuration
[01:04:19] sphery: Is KnoppMyth now LinHES?
[01:04:19] wagnerrp: other than that, you might get lucky and your package system is programmed to grab other packages when you install mythtv, but other than that, youre on your own
[01:05:13] scooty (scooty!n=scott@scootys.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:05:26] schdav: is adding functionality to enable user jobs for all recordings (or other groups of recordings) something that would be feature-worthy?
[01:05:37] schdav: and by recordings i mean all existing schedules
[01:05:37] sphery: heh, you found it just as I mentioned it...
[01:06:10] sphery: scooty: you /are/ using trunk mythplugins, right?
[01:06:26] wagnerrp: schdav: well you could do that with a single sql query... not that we would suggest one dive into the database
[01:06:40] scooty: Hello, I am trying to use 0.22 and am running into an error compiling my mythplugins which is also stopping my frontend from running. It appears that it's trying to link against QT3 instead of QT4 has anyone ran into this issue and does anyone know of a fix?
[01:06:42] schdav: no i know, but say i wanted to get involved writing code
[01:06:49] scooty: yes I am
[01:06:54] schdav: is that something that would be useful to anyone besides me?
[01:07:02] sphery: schdav: your doing a patch for it would be a very good thing
[01:07:33] sphery: schdav: the hard part, though, is figuring out where to put it/how to present it in the UI
[01:07:53] schdav: i thought maybe in recording profiles
[01:08:35] schdav: since you can define transcoders per recording profile
[01:08:50] sphery: I'd think it would make more sense in mythtv-setup (or is it frontend settings) where you configure the user jobs... Just an extra button to "Enable for all existing recording schedules"
[01:09:37] sphery: scooty: well, with a properly-configured system, trunk mythtv/mythplugins will compile and work properly even with Qt3 installed

[01:09:43] schdav: or maybe both.. having the recording profile granularity might be nice
[01:10:04] sphery: scooty: unfortunately, "properly-configured" can mean a lot of things, and the specifics are very distro dependent
[01:10:19] sphery: schdav: oh, I see what you mean...
[01:10:24] Lexridge (Lexridge!n=lexridge@75.108.69.120) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:10:53] schdav: sphery: in user job setup would be less complex
[01:11:20] schdav: since if its per recording group then it would naturally seem like it was a default going forward per recording group as well
[01:11:24] sphery: schdav: I'd recommend talking with Captain_Murdoch (who's kind of the owner of the User Jobs/JobQueue stuff). He may even have some suggestions (as I know he was considering a complete redesign of the JobQueue to add more flexibility/ease of use).

[01:13:05] sphery: scooty: did mythtv build successfully?
[01:14:29] scooty: Yes mythtv built just fine, so do the themes (not that it's complicated).
[01:14:47] sphery: scooty: and you installed mythtv /before/ trying to build the plugins?
[01:14:52] scooty: I also tried it onmy laptop which is Fedora 10 and ran into the exact same error
[01:15:07] scooty: yes mythtv was installed before doing the plugins
[01:15:18] scooty: I had 0.21 working on the box before
[01:15:31] scooty: this is what I have installed as far as QT goes
[01:15:55] sphery: what distro on this box?
[01:16:02] scooty: fedora 9
[01:16:07] scooty: I also have a laptop with 10 on it
[01:16:30] sphery: have you looked for any Fedora HOWTO's?
[01:16:33] scooty: qt-4.4.3–15.fc9.i386 I have that installed and the devel for it
[01:16:43] scooty: I'm assuming the comple is linking against the devel
[01:16:44] sphery: I don't use FC, so I really don't know details of how to make it build.

[01:17:05] scooty: the weird thing to me is that when it builds it seems to try to include files from qt-3.3
[01:17:07] sphery: scooty: did you previously have mythtv 0.21-fixes (or below) installed on the box?
[01:17:34] Captain_Murdoch: schdav, I think I'd rather see a way to setup defaults for the autorun settings when creating new scheduled recordings rather than adding something like "run this job for every recording" because that could be confusing to a user if they disabled the job on one screen, but it still ran because of a setting on another.
[01:18:39] scooty: I have 0.21-fixes installed and working, revision 20318 I beleive
[01:18:40] sphery: if so, you almost definitely just need to clean it up--i.e. rm /usr/{,local/}lib/libmyth* (and various other things), then re-install mythtv trunk, then make distclean in mythtv-plugins (really, I'd recommend doing a make distclean in mythtv, then compile and install it, first), then compile
[01:18:50] scooty: had it working I should say

[01:19:03] sphery: scooty: so that's probably the problem... just clean off the old 0.21-fixes garbage from the system
[01:19:14] scooty: okay I'll give it a shot
[01:19:17] scooty: thanks
[01:19:57] Captain_Murdoch: at one point I tossed around the idea of having a 'dummy' scheduled recording that was a template for new scheduled recordings. this 'dummy' record would be filled with values that were used as defaults when you created new scheduled recordings. we could even have several of these templates that could be picked from when setting up a new sheduled recording. ie, one for sports which automatically setup the end-late to 1 h
[01:19:58] Captain_Murdoch: our, recgroup to 'Dad', etc.
[01:20:18] sphery: scooty: good luck
[01:20:21] ** Captain_Murdoch wonders if schdav left. **
[01:20:23] schdav: Captain_Murdoch: yeah, that makes sense. i think the one useful thing still would be during user job definition to be able to apply it to all existing recording schedules. its definitely a "want" not a "need" since i just wore out the ctrl key opening all my schedules in mythweb

[01:21:43] sphery: schdav: I'm impressed you did it the "good user" way...  :)
[01:21:54] Captain_Murdoch: schdav, possibly something better to do would be to add a popup menu to the Watch Recordings screen's playlist menu that allowed options such as "turn on 'Commercial Flagging' for the recordings in the playlist"
[01:22:23] schdav: sphery: yes well i do what i can ;)
[01:22:26] Captain_Murdoch: that would modify the record table entries for those tagged recordings and turn on autocommflag for those entries.
[01:22:52] schdav: yeah that would be very useful as well
[01:23:09] Captain_Murdoch: that would give you what you wanted with just a few keystrokes.
[01:25:00] schdav: Captain_Murdoch: ok cool, i'm not making promises but if i get around to implementing that you're cool with it? dont want to step on toes
[01:25:05] sphery: so, a button for comm flagging + one for each of 4 user jobs ?
[01:25:23] sphery: (at least for those user jobs that have been defined)

[01:28:26] Captain_Murdoch: perhaps an 'Off' if any are already On, and an 'On' if they are all Off?

And, even if it's the 135W while you're using the frontend for 2hrs a day and compare it to a 30W frontend, that's like 6.3kWh more per month (assuming you would turn off the frontend when not in use)--i.e. not really worth focusing on, IMHO.

[05:08:37] wagnerrp: well this is not the Hornet, its something else
[05:08:49] iamlindoro: Per Engadget they are one and the same
[05:09:04] wagnerrp: that was just the development name?
[05:09:14] iamlindoro: I would guess
[05:09:19] iamlindoro: although it was the better name
[05:09:37] wagnerrp: i saw it on engadget, but i just looked at the purty pictures, didnt read the article

[05:10:30] wagnerrp: 1.5min into the last block of show
[05:10:31] iamlindoro: It may be whatever I saw linking to the engadget article that concluded they were the same, so who knows
[05:11:32] iamlindoro: The form factor is identical, though, it really would be nice to do IR, *but* it would be easy to put an iguanaworks receiver into the corner USB socket if it were hanging off the back of a TV

[05:13:51] wagnerrp: all three leaked versions use the 230

[07:55:39] JohnQ: If I get two versions of the same channel (one digital HD, and one analog SD), is there a way to get myth to recognize it so that it does not record the same show on both?
[07:57:31] justinh: myth should automagically give precedence to HD recordings
[07:58:05] JohnQ: Sure... it just records the HD version and the SD version at the same time.
[07:58:32] justinh: give the HD channel a higher priority then
[07:59:10] justinh: I think the 'prefer HD' setting is only tied to shows marked as HD in the EPG
[07:59:21] JohnQ: I dont see how that will help. It is already set higher than the SD one, and it is already recording the HD one.
[07:59:46] justdave: oh, it's "known extensions" OR mime type contains "video"
[08:00:33] justinh: JohnQ: the EPG mustn't be saying they're actually the same show then
[08:00:41] JohnQ: exactly
[08:00:59] justinh: in that case your only choice is to make a custom record rule
[08:01:13] justinh: or hide the SD channel
[08:01:20] justinh: or just live with it. it's not a big deal
[08:01:34] justinh: I'd always much rather myth records too many showings than too few :)

[08:02:37] JohnQ: well the problem is that (for example), it is choosing to record two copies of the same episode of the simpsons rather than recording simpsons on hd and family guy on sd... because simpsons is higher priority.
[08:03:17] justinh: simpsons in HD? seriously
[08:03:21] JohnQ: yep
[08:03:24] JohnQ: it is
[08:03:30] JohnQ: widescreen and everything
[08:03:51] justinh: now all they need is to be funny again :)
[08:03:54] justinh: aaanyway...
[08:04:19] JohnQ: its just an example
[08:05:00] justinh: it's a similar pickle to our '+1' channels we have here where the EPG data can be different for the real-time & time-shifted channels :(
[08:05:29] JohnQ: don't know that one.
[08:05:58] justinh: some shows are set to record at any time on any channel & match duplicates on subtitle & description. problem is when they differ for exactly the same show aired one hour later on the '+1' channel
[08:06:47] justinh: the grabber is working around that now by doing the 'plus one' bit behind the scenes so myth doesn't record the same show twice like that. Thankfully
[08:06:54] JohnQ: it seems like it would record the later one, which would suppress the earlier one.. no?
[08:07:11] justinh: or both
[08:07:48] JohnQ: at least for me the duplicate detection is smart enough to only pick one.
[08:08:12] justinh: depends – if the description is different for a later showing of the same show...
[08:09:02] JohnQ: oh, then sure
[08:09:44] JohnQ: for me this only happens when the show is a generic descriptionless version.
[08:09:51] justinh: figures
[08:10:14] justinh: maybe a custom recording rule would help
[08:11:27] JohnQ: Id have to do it for every show which happened like this, and in the future etc... but yeah I guess it'd work.
[08:12:21] justinh: where title="The Simpsons" AND channel like "%" AND description NOT LIKE "%generic%barf"
[08:14:20] justinh: I really want to make the custom rule setting much more user-friendly. having to basically enter the query yourself is insane
[08:14:56] JohnQ: That would avoid recording any generic showings..
[08:15:39] JohnQ: At least for me, I just need a way to tell the scheduler "channel x and channel y are always showing the same thing".
[08:16:13] justinh: myth regards channels with the same callsign &/or channum the same
[08:16:26] JohnQ: wouldn't help the shift issue though
[08:16:50] JohnQ: Hmm that is probably the issue.
[08:16:53] justinh: true, but my grabber is helping that no end :)
[08:17:26] JohnQ: One of them is "7/KPIX" and the other is "707/KPIXDT"
[08:17:54] justinh: if you'd be happy with myth thinking they're the same channel... make it so :)
[08:18:12] justinh: shows marked as HD would still be preferred AFAIK
[08:18:22] JohnQ: What, just change the callsign to the same?
[08:18:28] justinh: so if your grabber is marking them as HD, they'll take precedence over others
[08:18:34] justinh: yup
[08:18:43] JohnQ: I can leave the #s different?
[08:18:49] justinh: I think so
[08:18:53] JohnQ: Hm
[08:18:58] JohnQ: Sounds reasonable
[08:19:06] justinh: I still find the whole concept of callsigns abhorrent

[09:40:54] gbee: with the most recent kernel (2.6.29)
[09:41:38] justinh: my lr6650 card didn't work in windows for long
[09:41:40] gbee: can't hurt to ask in #linuxtv, but testing it is going to produce a definitive answer
[09:41:57] justinh: hard locks, bad crashes.. it's how I ended up using mythtv
[09:42:20] GribIB: all have a look at awesome!.... was trying dreamdvd and i dont think it could find the lifeview card... ill just try install a fresh mythtv at ad the card....:)
[09:43:24] gbee: thing is that Windows sees each card differently even if they are the same basic hardware underneath, so the lv3s might be identical to the nova-s but you couldn't swap around the drivers, so one might work in XP whilst the other doesn't
[09:43:52] GribIB: true

[11:54:26] stuarta: justinh: that won't make any difference, been like that for ages
[11:55:29] grung0r: does anyone know a way to exlude a single channel from recording under "record at any time on any channel"?
[11:55:51] stuarta: can't do that at the moment
[11:55:59] justinh: other than a custom record rule, nope
[11:56:02] stuarta: unless you come up with a custom record rule
[11:56:40] justinh: WHERE channel NOT = "channel", perhaps
[11:57:07] stuarta: what we need is WHERE channel_type != radio
[11:57:16] justinh: I dunno if the terms you can use in custom rules are listed anywhere
[11:57:35] stuarta: they aren't AFAIK, it's pure SQL
[11:57:50] grung0r: am I shit outa luck then?
[11:57:53] justinh: yeah but what's available to use field-wise
[11:59:35] justinh: see what wikiwoo says
[12:00:06] justinh: oh jesus
[12:00:09] stuarta: grung0r: no, custom record rules are your friend
[12:00:40] justinh: so your custom rule would look like
[12:01:15] justinh: channel.name NOT = "thechannel" and program.title="theshowtitle"
[12:01:24] justinh: channel.name NOT = "thechannel" AND program.title="theshowtitle"
[12:01:59] stuarta: either will work, sql isn't case sensitive

[12:03:09] stuarta: can't really be arsed returning it, might try and see if they'll swap just the mem
[12:03:10] grung0r: channel.name being the call sign?
[12:03:41] stuarta: channel.callsign would be the callsign
[12:03:42] grung0r: ie: kcbwdt
[12:04:28] stuarta: although often callsign=name
[12:04:28] justinh: definitely want to do something with that custom rule setting page
[12:04:39] justinh: having to construct sql is eeeew
[12:04:49] justinh: and having to type it in... is even more eew
[12:05:11] grung0r: I've been using myth for quite a while. I've never messed with those before
[12:05:29] grung0r: I'll give it a shot though. it's better then having to reboot it
[12:05:32] justinh: they are where mythtv's scheduler really comes into its own
[12:05:57] justinh: if you can be bothered to go through the rigmarole ;)
[12:06:21] grung0r: I'll tell ya, the scheduler(minus the custom rules, obviously) is where I think myth trulyu exells over tivo
[12:06:26] grung0r: it's way smarter
[12:06:55] justinh: but we also have the simple way for those who don't want a zillion options
[12:07:05] justinh: something I didn't cotton onto for ages

[16:03:19] iamlindoro: That bip upgrade may not have gone as planned

[16:05:02] sphery: not liking the bip?
[16:05:02] forest: next question: which channel would be able to answer the question, what tends to work *better* in Linux, PCI or PCI-E ?
[16:05:24] iamlindoro: sphery: no, it's good
[16:05:49] iamlindoro: sphery: It just complained at me when I restarted it, but I think that I didn't allow freenode time to miss me
[16:05:58] sphery: oh....
[16:06:08] wagnerrp: forest: PCIe is a better, more advanced bus.... but it all comes down to chipset support
[16:06:13] wagnerrp: is the chipset supported in linux
[16:06:30] sphery: and is the PCIe card you plan to use supported in Linux
[16:06:31] wagnerrp: and for nearly every PCI and/or PCIe bus you come across, the answer is ues
[16:07:27] forest: great thanks, I happen to have this cheapo Aver Media Bravo Hybrid PCIe, but it is not recognized under Debian Lenny
[16:07:59] wagnerrp: that has nothing to do with the bus, but like sphery said, its whether the CARD is recognized under linux
[16:11:02] forest: thanks, it looks like the cheapo PCIe card I got isn't recognised, and was just wanting to decide whether I should replace it with PCI or PCIe
[16:11:08] forest: thanks for the information

[16:24:05] Nockian: i'm using ubuntu 8.10 with the latest mythtv package and Comcast Digital cable with the Hauppauge HVR-1600 pci card. i can get the lower channels but not some of the other ones... it comes up as a black-static screen. i can view the channels with a regular TV just fine... any suggestions as to what may be wrong?
[16:24:42] wagnerrp: if its static, its not digital cable
[16:24:50] sphery: following that is a laptop hard drive, then a TV capture card, then graphics card--don't know which ones until they start
[16:25:25] wagnerrp: the 1600 has two tuners, you grab the analog channel list off SD
[16:25:36] wagnerrp: you scan for the digital channel list
[16:25:51] wagnerrp: and its two different tuners, so you will be using a different device for each of theses steps
[16:25:55] Nockian: wagnerrp: okay.. the HVR-1600 has two inputs, one for NTSC Analog and one for Clear QAM Digital cable.. do you think that maybe it's trying to use the wrong input for the channel, and if so, how would i go about fixing that?
[16:26:26] Nockian: ah.. okay...
[16:26:52] Nockian: so i'll need to make a channel source for the analog input and a different channel source for the digital input?
[16:27:27] Nockian: and based off those channel lists... mythtv will use the correct input?
[16:27:43] Nockian: i think what's happening is it's trying to use the analog input for that channel
[16:28:02] Nockian: i currently have the same channel source for both inputs
[16:30:31] Nockian: so i'll set the channel source as schedulesdirect for my digital cable and use the digital input for that list... but what should i use as the channel source for my analog input (if any)?
[16:31:11] sphery: Nockian: right--2 video sources. for analog download list of channels, for digital scan. see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[16:31:36] sphery: Nockian: and I highly recommend you start with the Delete all video sources and Delete all capture cards stuff on there--as otherwise, you have to unbreak the broken configuration first

[16:44:16] iamlindoro: If you get a PVR-500, you can use it as long as there are analog outputs on your cable box-- if you intend to plug it in to the wall, however, it may shortly become useless
[16:44:31] wagnerrp: the comcast qam channels, are those all SD?
[16:44:55] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Network channels in HD, the rest are SD (at least locally)
[16:45:14] iamlindoro: It's basically the basic cable lineup at this point, with only the broadcast channels in HD
[16:45:28] wagnerrp: i mean all those they just added a couple weeks ago, basic cable
[16:45:40] iamlindoro: They added some-- I have a couple dozen already
[16:45:42] iamlindoro: er had

[16:47:14] wagnerrp: well you already had most of your crap through QAM and firewire... it may have been more meaningful for other people

[16:51:11] iamlindoro: you would control it with an IR emitter
[16:51:34] iamlindoro: If you live somewhere they're using DCH70s, it's an indication that they've converted their basic lineup to QAM
[16:51:55] iamlindoro: In which case, like I was saying above, the only way to use a PVR-500 is in conjunction with a cable box
[16:52:05] iamlindoro: At which point IMHO it's a waste of money
[16:52:28] iamlindoro: as you will get they *exact* same channels with a couple of cheap clear QAM tuners, probably for less money, and definitely with much better quality
[16:52:46] iamlindoro: plus you will most likely be able to capture at least NBC/CBS/ABC/Fox in HD
[16:55:33] Nockian: so what's my best route to take? i'm still in the 'testing it out' phase
[16:55:44] aloril: why is xshm choppy with mythtv, but ok with mplayer and xine (used by kaffeine)? xv-blit is visible only on monitor, not on tvout: alternatively how to enable xv there (ATI Radeon 9200)? (so far haven't found answer from FAQ or googling) 3rd alternative: receommended AGP card?
[16:55:50] Nockian: which hardware specifically, i should ask

[16:58:04] iamlindoro: Plus you can give back the ugly box
[16:58:10] iamlindoro: to the cable co, that is
[16:58:42] Nockian: so an HDHomeRun would replace my Motorola DCH70 and instead plug the HDHomeRun directly into the cable source?
[16:58:51] iamlindoro: Yes
[16:59:00] Nockian: excellent
[16:59:18] iamlindoro: The DCH70 is just a QAM tuner, no fancy decryption in it
[16:59:46] iamlindoro: that's an indication that with a PC QAM tuner you should be able to get every channel you can get on that box-- although you may need to manually number them after a scan
[17:00:03] wagnerrp: well there is fancy description, just none that they can use

[17:01:26] wagnerrp: for PCI, supposedly the pinnacle 800i is decent, if you can find one
[17:01:44] wagnerrp: they seem to be scarce anymore retail, since pinnacle sold off the business
[17:01:57] Nockian: i'm thinking if i had an HVR-1250 in the mythtv box and an HDHomeRun on the network that the mythbox was using, i'd be set
[17:02:21] Nockian: maybe there'd be no need for the HVR-1250 if i had the HDHomeRun though
[17:02:57] wagnerrp: i have one of each
[17:03:10] wagnerrp: and on occasion, i have used all three tuners
[17:03:31] iamlindoro: Likewise here
[17:04:18] iamlindoro: Ahhhhhh, it's a LOST night. Time to make threats if Comcast decides to shuffle channels this afternoon
[17:04:19] sphery: Is the HVR-1250 basically just the digital side of the HVR-1600?
[17:04:25] Nockian: okay, so i'm really going to be building two mythtv boxes. one for upstairs and one for downstairs... i could put the HVR-1250 in the upstairs one and use the remote with it (yes?), and the downstairs one could use the HDHomeRun and i could get an MCE remote for it. sound like the best idea?
[17:04:34] wagnerrp: more like the digital side of the 1800
[17:04:37] iamlindoro: sphery: Yeah-- it *does* have an analog framegrabber, but more or less, yeah
[17:04:45] wagnerrp: the 1250 and the 1600 have completely different hardware
[17:04:47] iamlindoro: and PCIe instead of PCI

[17:06:07] sphery: ahhh
[17:06:38] iamlindoro: According to Janne nothing *should* prevent non ivtv cards from working, and he was going to investigate, but think he's gotten a little buried
[17:06:44] sphery: since the ivtv stuff was kind of custom, that may be a challenge... I know they talked about a standard MPEG-grabbing interface in V4L, but has it gone anywhere?
[17:07:44] iamlindoro: I'm pretty sure that it's only myth with this deficiency

[17:37:21] aloril: both resolution are 800x600
[17:38:01] justinh: sigh
[17:38:21] aloril: on myth if I use anything except xshm tv is not visible, (configuration) menu is visible, its only "Watch TV" that is not visible unless I select xshm but that is then choppy
[17:38:22] justinh: then again, better opengl rendering isn't necessarily the answer either
[17:38:23] meshe: i've never tried xv

[17:40:15] justinh: xv is all you got, failing opengl rendering.. which erm.. ymmv
[17:40:54] wagnerrp: my biggest complaint is that the new 8-series and better nvidia cards

[20:25:34] iamlindoro: it's all of four lines added to any MythUI screen
[20:25:51] iamlindoro: browser-ui.xml only covers the full-on browser (Information Center->Web)
[20:26:02] meshe: i'm thinking of it on it's own MythUI screen
[20:26:41] iamlindoro: Screens are defined in (C++) code, you you can't add a new screen without the corresponding .cpp

[20:26:46] meshe: ahh
[20:27:00] iamlindoro: But I suppose you could work around that
[20:27:15] iamlindoro: edit a menu theme, create a "new" menu with a dummy invisible button

[20:28:45] iamlindoro: MythNews and/or mythmovies is probably the simplest example of how the cpp and the theme get parsed and fit together
[20:28:46] meshe: so the xml is just the display and its hard coded to the controller (cpp)
[20:28:53] iamlindoro: yes
[20:29:02] iamlindoro: although the xml can go beyond the fixed screens, too
[20:29:13] iamlindoro: ie you can add additional elements into the existing required ones
[20:29:38] ** meshe nods **
[20:29:38] iamlindoro: so if you want to add a textarea that says "Here is some text," you can do that, just so long as you have the required elements
[20:30:15] meshe: i see

[20:30:26] iamlindoro: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Theme_Development
[20:30:39] iamlindoro: That is probably the most congealed form of documentation on the topic

[20:30:42] iamlindoro: (If I do say so myself)
[20:30:55] meshe: along with Terra as an example
[20:32:42] meshe: thanks iamlindoro, i understand it a lot better now
[20:32:54] iamlindoro: no problem, once you wrap your head around it it gets a lot easier
[20:34:38] iamlindoro: There needs to be some companion documentation to that that addresses MythUI from the programming side, but as I haven't managed to get up the energy to finish the theme part, starting that part is out of the question :)
[20:35:21] iamlindoro: (and only barely understood by me anyway)
[20:35:52] meshe: i was looking at your patch to try to understand the data flow from the database to the theme, it's all becoming clearer
[20:36:10] iamlindoro: The Subtitle/season/ep one?
[20:36:21] meshe: yeah
[20:36:37] iamlindoro: Yeah, that should be a pretty decent example, any dodgy code on my part aside :)

[20:52:24] iamlindoro: not_knowing
[20:53:14] sphery: should write back and tell him that Myth just pops up an osd on top of MPlayer video playback using xosd's osd_cat
[20:53:15] meshe: maybe he's writing it in perl
[20:53:38] sphery: heh, yeah, but that's been done, too, so--again--why start over?
[20:53:46] iamlindoro: He might as well, it could be 1000 lines that way
[20:53:47] sphery: I still can't believe that guy...
[20:53:54] sphery: thanks for the reminder... I needed a good laugh.
[20:54:03] wagnerrp: maybe when hes done, someone can demand that he rewrite it in mython

[20:54:48] wagnerrp: mython... whats that? oh, thats the power button
[20:54:54] sphery: wagnerrp: BTW, your post proves /why/ you were right with the cp -L... (Don't rely on defaults because they differ with different implementations.)
[20:55:16] sphery: I didn't realize that BSD's didn't deref by default, though... Interesting.
[20:55:38] wagnerrp: neither did i until you replied back to that
[20:56:50] sphery: I admit that while I'm usually pretty good about not building bad habits when working on my own systems, I /do/ rely on coreutils's cp's default of -L
[20:57:25] wagnerrp: well... myth does run on linux, its an understandable mistake

[21:09:20] plb_: anyone tell me why when I run myfilldatabase from a file it takes forever and eventually ends up freezing my system?
[21:10:37] tank-man: only you can find out but maybe we can help you find out
[21:10:51] plb_: well that's what I mean =)
[21:11:05] sphery: you mean mythfilldatabase with --dd-file or --file arguments?
[21:11:18] plb_: yep
[21:11:31] plb_: mythfilldatabase --file 1 xmlfile
[21:11:35] tank-man: did you try with the verbose mode on to see if any error msgs come up
[21:11:51] sphery: If so, I'd suspect there's a) a problem with the file or b) your system is running out of memory
[21:11:57] plb_: I'll try...hopefully my system doesn't lock up again
[21:12:06] sphery: do you have swap available/enabled?
[21:12:10] plb_: yep
[21:12:29] sphery: may also just be that mysql is very slow...
[21:13:05] sphery: but my suspicion is with the file itself...
[21:13:10] sphery: it's a bad, bad xmltv file
[21:13:19] plb_: I used mc2xml to generate it
[21:13:43] sphery: BTW, the built-in support for Schedules Direct works /wonderfully/
[21:14:21] sphery: and, since you're in the US, I figure your $20/yr is far less expensive than the time it would take to figure out why --file isn't working for you

[21:23:14] GrahamIRC: it asks what country you're in
[21:23:21] sphery: plb_: but for now, I'd /highly/ recommend using a known working configuration. Go to http://schedulesdirect.org/ and sign up for the free 7-day trial . Then do the video sources part of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 and see if everything works.
[21:23:30] plb_: hmm
[21:23:40] plb_: I think it may have been mc2xml
[21:23:45] sid3windr: it asks what country you're in – exactly. it's not a dropdown that solely lists UK
[21:23:48] plb_: I just used zap2xml and no more hang
[21:23:51] sphery: Then, if you wanna be a cheapskate ;), you can try to make the broken grabber work
[21:24:05] sphery: plb_: and don't mention that you're using zap2xml on this list
[21:24:11] plb_: ah ok sorry
[21:24:22] sphery: it's in violation of the ToS of the site and that's the /whole/ reason that we have SD
[21:24:31] sphery: and we don't support violating ToS
[21:24:31] plb_: ahh
[21:24:42] iamlindoro: by the same token, mc2xml is also forbidden, it's also a ToS violation
[21:24:52] sphery: I didn't realize that...
[21:24:57] GrahamIRC: ToS violation?
[21:24:57] sid3windr: :)
[21:24:59] sid3windr: yep
[21:25:12] iamlindoro: sphery: ToS explicit forbid use with any application except MS MCE
[21:25:27] GrahamIRC: Terms of Service?
[21:25:34] sphery: plb_: so, for only $20/yr = $0.05/day, you can have /much/ better quality listings /and/ the benefit of knowing that you're not breaking any rules
[21:25:49] sphery: plb_: plus, it Just Works(R)
[21:26:13] plb_: true
[21:26:24] sphery: iamlindoro: it makes sense that MS would forbid your using it with any other app... I'd just never looked into it.
[21:26:30] plb_: Hm, so what's he best mythtv theme around these days? =)
[21:26:47] sphery: on 0.21-fixes?
[21:26:55] sphery: if so, I'd say the ones from justinh
[21:27:10] gbee: well that's subjective, depends on what you want from a theme, what you like, what your favourite colour is etc
[21:27:16] sphery: if trunk, I'll let you know when 0.22 is released--and the trunk themes are finished :)

[22:08:56] schlazor: am i right in assuming there's no way promote user jobs to occur before commflagging and transcoding?
[22:09:32] wagnerrp: FIFO only
[22:10:01] justinh: you could make a user job to do commflagging & transcoding afterwards of course but that has its disadvantages
[22:10:19] schlazor: ok
[22:11:03] justinh: the main drawback being that at least one type of flagging method only works before anything else is done to the recording
[22:11:58] ** schlazor wishes my MBE had 2+ cores **

[22:15:22] GreyFoxx: hmmm I thought there was a way to trigger custom jobs after recording but before processing
[22:15:33] justinh: schlazor: monitor the log :)
[22:15:51] mzb: auto run custom job after recording?
[22:16:09] justinh: e.g. 2009-04–08 23:04:00.662 Finished recording Newswipe with Charlie Brooker: channel 1022
[22:16:30] schlazor: justinh: yeah, seems less elegant or at least harder :)
[22:18:08] justinh: gonna look into this just for the sake of research...
[22:19:15] schlazor: my nerd desire is to have different types of user jobs.. processing jobs that actually do something to the recording, and reporting (or a better name) jobs that don't alter the recording in any way but that might have more user-facing info avail like the pretty channel name (rather than channelid) and the input name
[22:19:45] justinh: GreyFoxx: looks like you can only say to run transcode jobs before commflagging
[22:20:38] justinh: in 0.21 at least

[22:38:01] Nockian: for Comcast Digital Cable
[22:38:22] wagnerrp: are you talking about analog or digital?
[22:38:37] justinh: there's probably only a certain amount of channels in the clear anyway.. which'd prolly explain why you're not getting all of them
[22:39:20] Nockian: justinh: why can my regular tv set see them, then?
[22:39:45] wagnerrp: your 'regular tv set' is analog, you dont get 'comcast digital cable' on it
[22:39:54] wagnerrp: you get the analog lineup
[22:40:00] Nockian: my HVR-1600 is picking up the HD channels and such that the 'regular TV' can't, through scanning with the digital side of the card
[22:40:15] wagnerrp: and if your schedules direct lineup is missing analog channels
[22:40:22] Nockian: wagnerrp: ok... so there's something misconfigured on my analog side of the HVR-1600 then?
[22:40:22] wagnerrp: then its time to complain to schedules direct
[22:40:30] Nockian: ah, okay
[22:40:36] Nockian: that makes sense
[22:40:41] wagnerrp: if youre saying that SD gave you those channels in the lineup, but you cannot tune them, then its a problem locally
[22:40:54] wagnerrp: you do know that comcast analog cable is down to like 30 channels now, right
[22:41:10] wagnerrp: when is the last time you checked just what channels you could get over analog
[22:41:28] Nockian: wagnerrp: well, i get more channels on my normal TV than i do through the HVR-1600 card...
[22:41:34] Nockian: 30 might be right
[22:41:50] Nockian: i have their 'family and information' package i think
[22:41:52] wagnerrp: what im saying is that you should not have scanned analog, you should have just grabbed the lineup
[22:42:01] wagnerrp: and if the lineup is missing channels, then you need to complain to SD
[22:42:07] Nockian: okay, i understand
[22:42:09] Nockian: thanks

[23:29:28] sphery: mike909: if you decide you think there's a lot of broken garbage in your database (i.e. because someone has been directly editing data in the DB) and you don't trust it or you know that some of it was corrupted by a crashed table and you want a "fresh" database, you can do a "partial" restore to restore only recording rules, recordings, and recording metadata
[23:30:11] sphery: mike909: normall, a partial restore does not restore your plugin data (info about videos/music/etc)--the partial restore that does not include plugin data is currently broken and needs the patch mentioned
[23:30:56] sphery: mike909: but the script allows a partial restore that restores only partial TV data, but restores all the plugin data--that one works with the script without any patches
[23:30:59] mike909: oh, I see. so, "partial" means only data related to TV (including shows that have already recorded). no plugin data. Ok got it....perhaps that is a good idea...to give me more of a "fresh" db. I should probably look into how to patch.

[23:31:32] sphery: mike909: partial actually means part of the TV data
[23:31:37] sphery: but, yeah
[23:31:43] squish102: sphery is that the backup and restore utility? does it do the hostname rename also?
[23:31:58] sphery: so, my recommendation is to either do a full restore or do a partial restore with plugin data
[23:32:19] sphery: squish102: yeah, after doing a restore, you can do a hostname change with the restore script
[23:32:30] mike909: since I don't know how to patch...I will probably go with the full restore, and just be sure to name the machine the same.
[23:32:31] squish102: if i am moving recordings from one machine to a new one
[23:32:43] sphery: mike909: oh, and just a tip--I recommend using the exact same hostname on the before and after systems
[23:32:56] squish102: ok great work sphery /me now has to figure out how to get it ;)
[23:33:00] sphery: otherwise you have to do the hostname change /before/ starting any Myth program
[23:33:00] eclipse[UME]: "A poster exists for this item but could not be retrieved within the timeout period."
[23:33:15] mike909: easy enough to keep the same hostname.
[23:33:32] sphery: squish102: for moving just a few recordings from machine to machine, we don't currently have a program that will fix those...
[23:33:35] mike909: sudo hostname <bla>
[23:34:00] squish102: mike909 true.... does the ip address have to be the same?
[23:34:04] sphery: squish102: once I finish a project I'm working on, I plan to make it so that you can tell Myth to move recordings around (from dir to dir or from host to host) for you
[23:34:25] sphery: squish102: but that won't be available until 0.22 (at the earliest--assuming I get around to it before then :)
[23:34:37] squish102: haha... thanks, but i'm sure more people would find it useful
[23:34:52] sphery: squish102: you can change the IP address pretty easily...

[23:35:30] squish102: is it just a sed to search and replace for both hostname and ip in the backed up file?
[23:36:09] sphery: squish102: that's what the HOWTO used to do... It was unsafe--i.e. if you named your old host "mythtv" or "myth" or ...--so the script has a /much/ more robust implementation in it.
[23:36:49] sphery: if the old host were called "tv" a /lot/ of very bad things would happen if you used the HOWTO's approach
[23:36:51] squish102: so use your script but include a search and replace
