[01:20:35] Dagmar: I can't really think of any good way of starting a loud protest against the stupidity
[01:21:09] Dagmar: Perhaps if we start a movement for everyone to disable their spellcheckers, use no words longer than six letters, and to type all of our complaints in all-caps

[01:46:50] J-e-f-f-A: Ugh, I hate watching live... ;-) Recording 24, but watching it as it records, and up to real-time...
[01:47:00] metalac: sphery: really?
[01:47:13] metalac: J-e-f-f-A: well it's not just for live, both recorded and live are the same
[01:47:15] ** J-e-f-f-A says "commercials suck!" ;-) **
[01:47:29] metalac: videos that are not recorded with myth play fine though
[01:47:57] J-e-f-f-A: metalac: Yeah, I know.  ;-) I've been using myth for several years now, and know everything goes to disk first. ;-)
[01:48:30] sphery: iamlindoro: not making a novel, fighting a broken distro (LiveCD on USB flash that won't run Firefox)... trying to install xmltv (but don't want it on my systems, so putting it on a "throwaway" system) so I can get the raw DD data so I can do measurements on the starttime+runtime versus starttime/endtime thing so I can tell all the bug criers to STFU
[01:48:49] iamlindoro: I like angry sphery
[01:48:52] sphery: metalac: generally that's the way it works
[01:48:53] iamlindoro: we should see more of him
[01:49:26] metalac: sphery: ok cool, just making sure my config is ok. I had it like this for over two years now, never bothered to check :)
[01:49:34] sphery: metalac: if you're saying that recording, in GNU/Linux, with some program other than MythTV from the /same/ exact capture card produces recordings with acceptable volume, change the volume in your recording profiles
[01:49:41] ** J-e-f-f-A waits for sphery to say something like "/me hits iamlindoro for no apparent reason..."  ;-) **
[01:49:52] iamlindoro: There's always a reason
[01:49:59] J-e-f-f-A: ;-)
[01:50:06] metalac: sphery: oh no i'm talking about random divx and dvd rips
[01:50:49] sphery: if you're saying that random videos on the 'net have good volume, that's because they're not recorded from OTA (where the sound levels aren't compressed--i.e. OTA offers a more dynamic sound range than does the generic videos you'll find that other people make)
[01:51:39] sphery: or they're recorded from OTA and then sound is post-processed and compressed
[01:52:19] sphery: so, basically, until someone--feel free to do it yourself ;)--writes some volume normalization/gain support for Myth, you have to manually compensate
[01:52:51] iamlindoro: Or just can the analog capture
[01:52:53] sphery: J-e-f-f-A: I think the reason for my hitting him would be plenty apparent :)
[01:54:06] sphery: that may work, too, as then you could output the AC-3/DTS from digital recordings to your receiver, which could have the AC-3/DTS settings adjusted to handle the volume differently from how it handles the 2-channel PCM volume
[01:54:11] ** iamlindoro makes a note to be more worthy of such mistreatment in the future **
[01:54:30] sphery: and/or actually take advantage of 5.1 speakers (meaning it wouldn't be so quiet with them all pumping out sound)
[01:55:58] sphery: cpan doesn't work on this distro, and the package manager doesn't show xmltv, so I guess I have to add some other repo...
[01:56:23] adante (adante!n=adante@59.167.212.65) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:58:37] sphery: so, basically, the USB flash drive I decided would make for an easier-to-boot Ubuntu than the LiveCD keeps eating itself--it fills up the drive and then nothing works
[01:59:07] sphery: I've needed to use it 5 times and I've needed to re-created it 10 times...
[01:59:12] sphery: not seeing the payoff, here...
[01:59:59] sphery: (and, yeah, it probably has something to do with my not knowing how to tell it, "Hey, you're not a real HDD, so don't write all kinds of junk to the flash drive and run out of space.")
[02:00:04] J-e-f-f-A: Humm... my Electric heater costs $0.21/hr to operate...
[02:00:35] ** J-e-f-f-A likes his new Kill-A-Watt ...  ;-) **
[02:03:17] sphery: 2kW/hr?
[02:04:09] sphery: or, 2kWh/hr, I mean
[02:04:42] J-e-f-f-A: sphery: It's averaging about 1.36 – it's an old "Pelonis Disc Furnace", and constantly changes the heat output/fan speed as needed to maintain the temp.
[02:05:17] sphery: just wondering--mainly how your cost/kWh compares to mine
[02:05:46] J-e-f-f-A: I just had my wife show me the electic bill, and it works out to 17.055 cents/KWh

[02:17:58] J-e-f-f-A: Dagmar: Yeah, Been googling... so far everything I've found has claimed it's fixed in xyz kernel or has been a very old ivtv version...

[02:56:20] J-e-f-f-A: I can't seem to get it to reproduce on my 250 atm... but I know it has happened on it, as I sat down for 30 mins one day, going through my SD recordings and noting which ones were 'tinny', then matched up with the logs what tuner they were recorded on... and it was all 3 at the time...
[02:57:59] meshe: i have 2 150's and 2 350's all running ubnuntu and haven't experienced that problem, granted the cards aren't as old as yours
[02:58:06] meshe: oh
[02:58:14] J-e-f-f-A: meshe: Yeah, I tried a kernel upgrade last week, and that obviously didn't help... Humm....
[02:58:27] meshe: and i'm using the onboard tuners, and this problem seems to be only line in, so ignore me
[02:59:37] J-e-f-f-A: meshe: It could just be this MB... I had thought I rememberd it happening only after adding a PCIe 1250 tuner, but after removing it it was still there, so either I didn't notice it before, or... I dunno...

[03:07:11] J-e-f-f-A: meshe: Lots of "failed: No such device or address" or "failed: invalid argument" lines... seems fishy...
[03:07:19] Kevin`: is it possible to have the only tuner on a slave backend?

[03:08:35] J-e-f-f-A: Kevin`: Not that I'm aware of... and not sure why you'd even want that config...
[03:11:00] J-e-f-f-A: meshe: ... perhaps those 'No such device' and "invalid argument' lines are valid with "--verbose"... humm...
[03:11:15] meshe: J-e-f-f-A: gotta run, i'm not sure other than maybe an OS upgrade
[03:11:27] J-e-f-f-A: meshe: Thanks.  ;-)
[03:11:39] meshe: being called in for a raid in Lord of the Rings Online
[03:12:07] Kevin`: J-e-f-f-A: I want to set up a system in a better recieving position, with the tuner
[03:13:00] sphery: iamlindoro: So, the /only/ shows with runTime are MV* (movies), so I'm now 99.9999999% positive I was right about its meaning
[03:13:29] iamlindoro: xris, out there to answer an SD ?
[03:14:27] sphery: and, xmltv does /not/ have a runtime element
[03:15:11] iamlindoro: sphery, $5 says they use that as an excuse to turn it in to "ah-ha! So it won't affect all the users you think it will, it'll just *help* movies!"
[03:15:38] sphery: and the way the data is structured, each program is listed once, then referenced at every location of every showing on the schedule--regardless of scheduled duration of the showing (i.e. where sometimes it's shown in 1 1/2 hrs (really cut) and other times in 2 hrs (cut, and with slightly more commercials)
[03:16:34] sphery: oh, the runtime is in the program, not the listings/schedule info
[03:16:37] iamlindoro: Now we have to go to their houses and cut them... in front of their kids
[03:16:42] sphery: heh
[03:17:01] sphery: it's really just the instigator...
[03:17:16] iamlindoro: f-that-user
[03:17:51] sphery: I definitely have to ask xris if he has a definition of the meaning of the runTime element in TMS's raw DD-format data, though.

[03:35:27] MG: Hello everyone .. I am new to mythtv and I need help ..
[03:35:43] MG: can I ask a few basic questions?
[03:35:57] wagnerrp: read the rules... dont ask to ask, just ask
[03:36:33] MG: Ok .. thanks ..
[03:36:40] MG: I have a skywalker 1
[03:36:52] MG: a dish net disk
[03:37:04] iamlindoro: Stop there
[03:37:12] MG: ok
[03:37:14] iamlindoro: Every question after that bit is off limits
[03:37:21] iamlindoro: We don't do that nonsense here
[03:37:28] MG: ok
[03:37:38] MG: I am sorry I don't understand
[03:38:07] MG: I am really new to all this .. please forgive me ..
[03:38:30] iamlindoro: OK, keeping in mind that you are in a logged, public channel, that you have exposed your IP and real name, do you think you want to talk about tuning dish network through illegal means?
[03:38:33] iamlindoro: Mike?
[03:38:59] MG: no ..
[03:39:15] iamlindoro: And that's *before* establishing that such talk is against the channel rules
[03:39:54] MG: ok ..
[03:40:20] MG: so can we talk about hardware needed to make mythtv run correctly ?
[03:40:21] Kevin`: dish net disk?
[03:40:50] MG: how about I have cable .. I would like to use mythtv
[03:40:59] iamlindoro: You can ask, but if it starts to get towards that territory again, kicking/banning is very likely
[03:41:15] MG: ok .. it won't
[03:41:34] wagnerrp: then you get a QAM tuner, an analog tuner, firewire from a cablebox, or analog capture from a cablebox
[03:41:35] MG: I have surewest .. I would like to use mythtv as a dvr
[03:42:08] MG: I have mythdora loaded ..
[03:42:29] MG: I have been reading about the frontend/backend ...
[03:43:31] MG: I am looking for a hardware list needed for three frontends to work with the backend
[03:44:05] Loto: 3x computer
[03:44:13] MG: Yes ..
[03:44:20] Kevin`: you need networking and a display device capable of playing that sort of video
[03:44:21] Loto: 3x network cables
[03:44:33] MG: Ok .. have that ..
[03:44:57] MG: does the backend server need a tuner as well?
[03:45:06] Loto: only the backend needs tuner
[03:45:18] wagnerrp: the backend manages the tuner
[03:45:23] MG: Ok .. great
[03:45:24] wagnerrp: the frontend plays content given by the backend
[03:45:41] MG: sat tuner for sat .. correct
[03:45:54] MG: hd tv for cable ?
[03:46:18] MG: does the frontend play from an app?
[03:46:29] wagnerrp: play from an app?
[03:46:36] Loto: well of course you need the appropriate tuner for whatver your using, dvb-t dvb-s pal/ntsc etc
[03:46:43] MG: an application on the frontend?
[03:46:53] wagnerrp: the frontend is an application, yes
[03:47:16] MG: ok so load mythtv frontend on the client
[03:47:37] wagnerrp: the frontend is a media player, it plays video internally rather than calling an external player, if thats what youre asking
[03:47:42] MG: how about an app that runs on windows and can connect to mythtv?
[03:47:43] Kevin`: MG: if it wasn't obvious somewhere, you can have a frontend on the backend device
[03:48:03] MG: windows media for example?
[03:48:07] MG: gotcha
[03:48:40] wagnerrp: if youre on vista, WMP can connect to it via UPNP
[03:48:50] wagnerrp: you cannot play livetv, but you can play recordings
[03:49:07] MG: ok ...
[03:49:07] Loto: I know XBMC has some built in support as well under win32
[03:49:21] wagnerrp: alternatively, you can run a perl script in a cronjob that makes human-readable links, which you can share over samba, and access the content that way
[03:49:42] MG: Thank you for beieng so pacient ...
[03:49:42] wagnerrp: or, you can install mythweb, and stream the video through the web server
[03:50:09] MG: Ok I saw a note on the links
[03:50:13] Loto: I believe XBMC supports livetv on win32
[03:50:19] Loto: it does on linux
[03:50:19] Anduin: anyone been brave enough to use the channel scanner in trunk?

[06:19:48] frogonwheels: I've tried sticky-bit..
[06:20:37] frogonwheels: tried limits.conf .. tried 'realtime threads' checkbox.
[06:20:49] frogonwheels: .. tried changing CPU profiles to CPU--
[06:21:10] frogonwheels: .. turned off OpenGL overlay rendering..
[06:22:00] frogonwheels: about the only thing really running is Xorg, myth (front & back).. and the odd npviewer.bin  – though I've taken that out of the equation

[13:50:43] rsdvd: Nockian – I have googled it – many times :-) there is some confusion on the web as to which versions actually work.....I was hoping someone woudl confirm they have actually succeeded
[13:50:49] Nockian: rsdvd: according to that first link, one guy said it works fine with kernel 2.6.27
[13:51:02] Nockian: ubuntu 8.10

[13:54:42] rsdvd: I am currently using 2.6.18.....so I might upgrade the kernel and have another go
[13:54:57] Nockian: that's what i'd do, upgrade to kernel 2.6.27 since that wiki says it's supported
[13:55:08] FR^2: rsdvd: Can you use pastie.org or such to simply show us your lspci output?
[13:55:39] rsdvd: Nockian : you might be right.....the card has a usb controller and 2 usb devices........I might have missed the USB controller as it is the same as the motherboard one
[13:55:54] clever: lspci -vvvv
[13:56:15] rsdvd: FR^2 – the card is not installed at the moment – I took it out to try in a windoze machine......I will reinstall and upgrade the kernel......then report back

[17:34:06] RyeBrye: are you upgrading an existing myth install to trunk?
[17:35:04] olejl: no, installing fresh
[17:35:18] kormoc: Might want to ask sphery
[17:36:41] jarle: I have tracked the error message ("TeletextDecoder: No Teletext Viewer defined!") down to /libs/libmythtv/teletextdecoder.cpp, but I am still lost as to why mythcommflag keeps calling (and failing) the TeletextDecoder::Decode() function?
[17:37:29] RyeBrye: olejl: that's strange. try to drop mythconverg and try again. If the create-from-scratch isn't working, that seems odd
[17:38:09] olejl: I have tried to drop it several times. Same thing happens every time
[17:38:29] olejl: I have tried creating the database manually and using the mc.sql script
[17:38:32] kormoc: jarle, because there's a commflag method to use the teletext data?
[17:40:06] jarle: kormoc: but I fail to see what the errormessage is actually telling me? Is it some setting I need to fix, or is it mythcommflag that is doing something wrong?

[17:42:37] sphery: olejl: the problem is it's not yet fixed in all places and you happen to be hitting it in mythmusic (which wasn't fixed, yet)
[17:42:49] olejl: I made a clean install of Ubuntu a couple of days ago. The rev I'm running now is the only one I have downloaded
[17:43:00] olejl: but it happens for all my plugins
[17:43:05] sphery: olejl: the easiest fix is to downgrade to Qt4.4.x (i.e. Qt4.5 is broken)

[17:43:45] sphery: olejl: http://misc.thirdcontact.com/MythTV/qt-4.5.0- . . . ements.patch
[17:43:52] jarle: kormoc: anyway it is filling up my log making it impossible to debug other problems, so I need to remove it from the log in some way or another. In mythtv-setup I found a setting for VBI under "locale" that I could set to PAL, NTSC or none. This was set to PAL, and I have since changed it to none, but that did not make any difference?
[17:44:21] RyeBrye: Ah. Qt 4.5 is still brokie?
[17:44:39] kormoc: jarle, so... patch it out?

[17:49:49] ** RyeBrye grumbles about "Open Source" projects that seem oblivious to patches **
[17:50:12] sphery: olejl: if you want to fix that one particular case, it's on line 44 of mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic/dbcheck.cpp
[17:50:30] sphery: please post the patch to http://svn.mythtv.org/
[17:50:40] olejl: sphery: ok I can give it a shot
[17:50:48] kormoc: meshe, ooh? a mention as in 'It's broken'?
[17:51:02] olejl: and that is the preferred solution to the problem?
[17:51:09] meshe: kormoc: yeah
[17:51:16] kormoc: nice
[17:51:19] RyeBrye: meshe: you have a time machine? How are you gettign 9.10 RC?
[17:51:20] meshe: hopefully fixed by release
[17:51:25] RyeBrye: ;)
[17:51:28] meshe: er 9.04 ;)
[17:51:42] meshe: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview#Known issues
[17:51:56] ** RyeBrye cracked the code to Ubuntu's numbering scheme – so he knows that 9.10 wont be out until October '09 **
[17:52:14] sphery: olejl: Here's the pattern you need to use: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/ . . . or_bug.patch
[17:52:22] jarle: kormoc: it is VERBOSE(VB_VBI, "TeletextDecoder: No Teletext Viewer defined!"); so I am going by the assumption that running the backend vith -v all,novbi should do the trick if I understand that -v options correctly..
[17:52:39] olejl: sphery: yeah I have seen it
[17:52:54] kormoc: jarle, worth giving it a try
[17:53:00] sphery: olejl: or, just get rid of the lastError().type() check as at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/20186#file1
[17:53:13] sphery: olejl: the one that actually went in got rid of the lastError() check
[17:53:38] sphery: jarle: if you're trying to clean up your logs, -v all is probably not what you want
[17:53:41] RyeBrye: in the latest trunk is that particular bug fixed alrady?
[17:53:49] dustybin (dustybin!i=dustybin@thinkdebian.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:53:58] sphery: jarle: generally, you should run -v important,general , and in that case, you won't see VB_VBI
[17:54:09] sphery: btw, -v important,general is the default
[17:54:27] c0p3rn1c (c0p3rn1c!n=jeroen@138.102-136-217.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:54:54] RyeBrye: I have -V every_executed_machine_instruction, is that too verbose? ;)
[17:55:07] sphery: olejl: the more of those cases you find, the better--note that even if you get a valid DB upgrade/creation, you may get other cases where failures occur during normal execution, so every use of MSqlQuery needs checking.
[17:55:21] meshe: RyeBrye: strace mythbackend > mythbackend.log
[17:55:35] jarle: sphery: I know, I'm trying to debug some empty recordings trying to figure out if it is problems decrypting or what, that's why I'm running such excessive logs at the moment...
[17:55:52] sphery: olejl: if you have the time, pick a plugin and just go through all of it and upload the patch and say something like, "This should fix all occurrences of ignoring MSqlQuery::exec() return value in mythmusic" or whatever
[17:55:54] RyeBrye: meshe – good idea! then I can recreate bugs easily by doing strace < mythbackend.log later on ;)
[17:56:47] jarle: sphery: good thing I have logrotate running, yesterdays backend log was 500+ MB! (ouch!)
[17:56:57] sphery: jarle: well, for that particularly, you should at least include a nodatabase --or -v most,novbi
[17:57:11] lcase (lcase!n=lcase@p5B0EA8BC.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit ()

[17:58:48] oxyis: jarle: i'am also having problems with empty records, are we talking about only scheduled recordings?
[17:58:49] jarle: sphery: "The additive options may also be subtracted from 'all' byprefixing them with 'no', so you may use '-v all,nodatabase'to view all but database debug messages." led me to believe that the no* keywords only worked with -all?
[17:59:23] jarle: oxyis: correct
[17:59:40] olejl: sphery: Just to be clear. This fix has to be applied every place an upgrade is attempted?
[17:59:46] sphery: I think that's just saying that it doesn't make sense to use -v important,noimportant
[17:59:55] sphery: most, though, is an "all-like" arg
[18:00:00] opentrinity (opentrinity!n=opentrin@87.13.44.98) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:00:02] oxyis: what svn rev are you using?
[18:00:33] sphery: olejl: the upgrades are one area where the "broken check" is likely to occur because the main mythtv db upgrade code used that broken construct
[18:01:03] sphery: however, any location in the code where we use MSqlQuery could potentially be broken
[18:01:32] sphery: and, if you fix only the "most visible" ones, you could still have a failure during execution at some point
[18:01:56] jarle: sphery: I'm using -v all,nodatabase,notimestamp,novbi (because I was not sure if -v most,novbi would work)
[18:01:57] superdump (superdump!n=rob@unaffiliated/superdump) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:02:02] olejl: sphery: I see, but is this a good solution, or will it just be temporary?
[18:02:03] sphery: i.e. Myth seems to be running fine, you go on vacation and come back to a broken mythtv box that stopped recording your stuff
[18:02:11] oxyis: jarle: ok, we might be having the same problem, i'am also running excessive logging, but haven't gotten anything yet, om on rev 20436 btw. what kind of dvb cards are using?
[18:02:13] sphery: jarle: that's probably not bad
[18:02:56] sphery: oxyis and jarle : if you're both getting empty recordings (and, especially, if you're both in the same area), it sounds like you both need to rescan...
[18:03:10] sphery: assuming the recordings are always the same channel(s)
[18:03:12] jarle: sphery: I'll have to wait for the next commflagging to start to if the novbi did the trick :)
[18:03:20] sphery: cool
[18:04:03] jarle: sphery: as long as we can tune to the channel in live tv there should be no reason to rescan.
[18:04:19] RyeBrye: i was getting empty recordings on one of my analog tuners. I rebooted and it seemed to fix it
[18:04:38] olejl: also I have noticed that the exit yes/no popup in mythtv-setup is not working with the default theme
[18:05:21] jarle: oxyis: I have Terratec 1200 DVB-s cards.
[18:05:30] sphery: olejl: in trunk?
[18:05:38] olejl: yes
[18:05:57] oxyis: jarle: i also have terratec 1200, and as jarle said, it's working in livetv
[18:06:11] oxyis: terratec 1200 dvb-c though
[18:07:56] jarle: oxyis: I am using software decryption though so I have some more possible areas of failure besides just mythtv

[18:38:57] olejl: it is now working for me
[18:39:09] olejl: at least for now
[18:39:15] sphery: if nothing else, it's likely being used by them as a not-forbidden means of explaining where they're getting their recordings
[18:40:06] sphery: olejl: looks good to me...
[18:40:58] sphery: olejl: and thanks a lot for the help... this is one of those projects that's just a lot of tedious work, but that's a /great/ way for someone to get started helping out with Myth
[18:41:46] sphery: olejl: /and/ more importantly, the time you spend on it saves the developers (with skills far greater than mine) from having to waste their time on it so they can add new/interesting features or fix complex/deep-rooted bugs!
[18:42:21] olejl: np. I'm happy if I can contribute, and keep the devs focused on more important things

[20:22:45] wagnerrp: same view/layout, different data
[20:22:54] iamlindoro: yeah
[20:28:02] meshe: does mythfilldatabase require it's datasource to be xml?
[20:28:48] meshe: meaning all grabbers + SD feed it xml
[20:30:09] meshe: nvm, thinking out loud
[20:30:25] iamlindoro: meshe: TTBOMK, yeah
[20:31:11] gbee: it supports two different input formats; that defined by the xmltv DTD (which doesn't have to come from an official xmltv grabber); or whatever SD spews out, which is an entirely different format to xmltv and which may or may not be xml, could be JSON or CSV for all I know
[20:31:33] meshe: heh
[20:32:19] meshe: i was just pondering storing it in the db as xml and using some of mysqls new features to search that
[20:35:42] meshe: if it's not guaranteed to be a standard xml format, the idea would be moot

[20:36:37] meshe: just thinking around this "i need x field about the tv listings added" problem

[20:42:54] iamlindoro: Wow, Tivo/Moxi et al still using a ringbuffer
[20:43:13] iamlindoro: And a 30 minute ringbuffer at that
[20:43:49] zzztownsend (zzztownsend!n=zzztowns@user-5af074c6.wfd102.dsl.pol.co.uk) has left #mythtv-users ()
[20:44:12] wagnerrp: what for? thats still a 4GB ringbuffer... not likely they have that much memory
[20:44:18] wagnerrp: i suppose they could store it in flash
[20:44:36] iamlindoro: Pretty sure it's just on the disk
[20:45:36] RyeBrye: That feature in TiVo is kind of cool actually. It's mostly used for LiveTV scenarios where you NEVER watch LiveTV except through the TiVo – so if you turn on the TV and you are in the middle of a show – you can just rewind to get back to the beginning of it
[20:46:03] wagnerrp: so its always recording?
[20:46:06] RyeBrye: Yes
[20:46:08] iamlindoro: So long as that show started less than 30 minutes ago and was on that exact channel
[20:46:47] meshe: cool
[20:46:57] RyeBrye: well, presumably when you turn on the TV you don't immediately change the channel – when you change teh cahnnel it purges the ringbuffer
[20:47:08] RyeBrye: It's not a major feature, but I used it quite a bit when I had a TiVo
[20:47:21] iamlindoro: Would be much better just just save that program instead of 30 minutes
[20:47:35] meshe: leave your mythbox on live tv for the same effect though
[20:48:15] RyeBrye: MythTV does liveTV differently also – TiVo keeps the ringbuffer recording in the background when you go back to the menus etc – LiveTV cuts the recording of a livetv episode immediately when you go to the main menu
[20:48:15] wagnerrp: myth splits livetv at program starts right?
[20:48:21] RyeBrye: Yes, MythTV does
[20:48:34] meshe: wagnerrp: yeah
[20:48:41] iamlindoro: RyeBrye: Only ATM
[20:48:58] iamlindoro: The Video miniplayer will make keeping live TV going in a window no problem
[20:49:01] RyeBrye: iamlindoro: is there something in the works to revise how livetv is handled?
[20:49:15] RyeBrye: that would be a much appreciated change :)
[20:49:24] wagnerrp: RyeBrye, you could always hit record, and then go back to it in recordings
[20:49:30] meshe: RyeBrye: but, if you leave livetv running you can just R if you're on a show you want to record and go back to your menus
[20:49:35] iamlindoro: Not for purposes of revising liveTV, but that would be one potential benefit of the video widget
[20:49:46] wagnerrp: although i admit that currently myth is not conducive to channel surfers
[20:50:36] RyeBrye: Right – I know to make LiveTV in myth record stuff – but the way TiVO does it without any interaction at all is kind of nice – it gives you as the user the impression that it's just magically always recording stuff without having to told...
[20:50:38] meshe: guide surfers :) taught my parents to use browse mode
[20:51:41] RyeBrye: The use case for the ringbuffer in live tv that I used it in the most was: "I am bored. I want to watch TV but dont care what. I turn on the TV TiVo is recording something mildly interesting. I hit the back button to go back to the start of it and then I can watch somethign I don't care enough to 'record' but can still skip commercials."
[20:51:56] RyeBrye: It was mostly for casual TV watching, not for anything major
[20:52:26] meshe: RyeBrye: myth will do that if you leave live tv running
[20:52:29] gbee: no-one is working on changes to livetv behaviour, none of the devs are even interested in doing so as far as I know, they don't watch livetv
[20:52:42] meshe: and other than hard drive space, there's no reason why you can't leave live tv running
[20:52:47] meshe: (and tying up a tuner)
[20:53:06] sphery: to make your MythTV /smarter/ than TiVo about always recording: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/254066#254066 (last part, starting with, "However, IMHO, the patch is completely unnecessary..."
[20:53:45] sphery: i.e. Why would anyone assume that whatever channel the tuner was last left on is worth recording? Why not /tell/ it what channel to always record unless otherwise engages...

[20:55:53] ** iamlindoro has a dozen Fringe episodes to catch up on **
[20:56:05] gbee: RyeBrye: when I'm bored I turn on the TV and pick from one of the many shows I've recorded ;) Better still, I know that there will always be something interesting in my recordings, whereas the same can rarely be said for livetv
[20:56:37] sphery: exactly
[20:56:40] iamlindoro: I turned on live TV for the first time in years the other day to play with EPG theming
[20:56:49] iamlindoro: And the theming was the best part about it ;)
[20:57:19] RyeBrye: It's not just the ringbuffer that makes the whole "liveTV" part of TiVo feel more useable – it's probably a combination of a few dozen things – in particular that if you back out to go set up a recording or something while watching LiveTV TV in TiVO you wont lose your ringbuffer and can jump back in where you left off without having to tell it to do anythign special. (Now, having a miniplayer keep that going in Myth would help that)

[21:08:45] wagnerrp: ... between areas that pay you, but you have to sort it, and areas that have free recycling pickup
[21:08:49] iamlindoro: Locally, to unload that many you really have to take it someplace where they take it by the pound... not sure how the price breakdown works in the end, but when the truckbed is filled with bags of cans, you just kind of want them to go away :)
[21:08:52] meshe: we pay 5–10 cents on purchase

[21:45:27] wagnerrp: does the mailer automatically hold upon vulgarity or something?
[21:45:42] sphery: I'm guessing it's because he just re-signed up for -users list

[22:12:22] henkie_: how does mythtv determine if a tuner is available? the tuner is setup on a slave backend
[22:12:40] sphery: henkie_: if MythTV isn't using it for something, it's available :)
[22:12:41] wagnerrp: if its not in use, then its available
[22:12:56] wagnerrp: mythtv expects dedicated hardware
[22:13:01] sphery: henkie_: in other words, MythTV expects exclusive access to tuners
[22:13:07] gbee: and describing Crowded House as bad given the real rubbish which came out of the 80s ... well ...
[22:13:09] sphery: and wagnerrp types faster than me
[22:13:58] henkie_: well, it is available, no processes have it open
[22:14:09] sphery: henkie_: what error are you getting?
[22:14:45] henkie_: if i check in the Information Center, it reports tuner2 is unavailable (/dev/video1)
[22:14:59] henkie_: i do have a 32bit master backend and a 64 bit slave backend
[22:15:06] henkie_: same version of mythtv tho
[22:15:16] sphery: henkie_: that typically means that the remote backend failed to connect to the master backend
[22:15:37] sphery: so, though the /device/ may be available, it's useless to Myth as Myth can't tell the remote backend to use it to record something
[22:15:55] sphery: look at your remote backend logs for the error that shows why it's not connecting
[22:16:03] sphery: and/or restart your remote backend
[22:16:08] henkie_: sphery, it says "adding: tdq64 as a client (events: 1)"
[22:17:04] sphery: henkie_: client would be mythfrontend... should say, "adding: tdq64 as a slave backend server"
[22:17:06] henkie_: and 'MainServer: HandleRemoteEncoder(cmd GET_STATE) Unknown encoder: 2' hmm
[22:17:25] henkie_: ok, where do i specify this? in mythtv-setup?
[22:17:39] sphery: which system ssaid unknown encoder? the master or remote backend?
[22:18:08] sphery: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 to fix your capture card/video source config
[22:18:15] sphery: you can likely just do the capture card portions
[22:18:38] sphery: note that you need to delete all capture cards, then define new capture cards for each system
[22:18:50] sphery: i.e. using mythtv-setup on the master backend, define its local capture cards
[22:19:00] sphery: then using it on the remote backend, define its local capture cards
[22:19:24] sphery: and then connect inputs in order from most-preferred input to least-preferred input
