[02:49:31] iamlindoro: "He was also shown with an ankh, representing his ability to undo evil and so cure ills." and "Sobek's ambiguous nature led some Egyptians to believe that he was a repairer of evil that had been done, rather than a force for good in itself, for example, going to Duat to restore damage done to the dead as a result of their form of death. He was also said to call on suitable gods and goddesses required for protecting people in situatio
[02:49:31] iamlindoro: n, effectively having a more distant role, nudging things along, rather than taking an active part."

[03:53:20] iamlindoro: You'll never find out unless you ask it, nobody's going to volunteer for the mystery question
[03:53:38] iamlindoro: But in answer to the question, when a man and a woman love each other very much...
[03:57:42] Zman1: I can not figure out why my new myth backend video has jitter// I have the Hauppuage 350
[03:57:53] Zman1: jitter is there even with cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg
[03:58:22] Zman1: box is fast enough 3ghz 8 gig ram
[03:58:31] wagnerrp: 3GHz what?
[03:58:48] Zman1: athalon
[03:59:18] wagnerrp: theres a big difference between a 3GHz P4, a 3GHz Athlon, and a 3Ghz C2D
[03:59:24] iamlindoro: It's bad enough when people pronounce it that way, let alone spell it that way
[03:59:47] Zman1: well sorry
[04:00:49] Zman1: its late and I have been reading a lot and can not find what i need to do fix the jitter

[04:00:54] iamlindoro: not to mention you'll need to define what you mean by "jitter"
[04:01:07] wagnerrp: anyway, anything maybe 600MHz celeron or better should be able to manage anything the 350 puts out
[04:01:14] wagnerrp: how are you playing it?
[04:01:46] jpabq (jpabq!n=jpabq@c-76-113-11-66.hsd1.nm.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[04:01:51] wagnerrp: through the 350? through an AMD/ATI video card? through VDPAU? do you have the proprietary drivers for your card installed? is Xv working? is opengl?
[04:02:45] Zman1: the box right now is only setup for Backend.. i do not have the frontends done yet.. playing the video with Mythtv player, and also Windows Media player same results ..
[04:03:19] wagnerrp: so youre complaining about 3rd party windows software?
[04:03:20] Zman1: i can put a sample up if someone wants to see it
[04:03:42] Zman1: No not complaining about that. at all
[04:03:56] Zman1: i have done this in the past with myth and never a single problem..
[04:04:27] wagnerrp: what im saying is... is it possible the videos are fine, and its a playback problem on your windows box?
[04:05:02] wagnerrp: because if catting the dev node produced 'jittery' video, either your playback is borked, or the tuner is going bad
[04:05:16] wagnerrp: which considering the age of a 350, is very possible
[04:05:28] Zman1: couls be but other things play perfectly fine in terms of video playback. the machine i am playing them back on is a quadcore Intel 2.5 ghz 4 gig ram
[04:05:55] wagnerrp: you just said 3GHz Athlon with 8GB
[04:05:59] wagnerrp: or is that the backend?
[04:06:02] Zman1: ya thats the backend machine
[04:06:28] wagnerrp: if thats the backend, machine speed is largely irrelevant, so long as it can handle ~6mbps from PCI bus to disk
[04:06:46] Zman1: ya i think that should be fine..
[04:06:57] clever: wagnerrp: the master backend still needs cpu power for other stuff
[04:07:07] clever: rescheduling on a 400mhz P2 takes 30–60 seconds
[04:07:15] wagnerrp: clever: hes having 'jittery' playback, whatever that means
[04:07:16] clever: which is painfull sometimes
[04:07:26] wagnerrp: and rescheduling DOES NOT take 30–60 seconds
[04:07:37] clever: 2009-05–15 00:03:29.551 scheduler: Scheduled items: Scheduled 837 items in 86.3 = 0.01 match + 86.30 place
[04:07:37] Zman1: wanna see a test file wagnerrp?
[04:07:57] wagnerrp: YOUR rescheduling takes that long because you have several hundred recordings, and some thousand schedules, or something ridiculous like that
[04:08:31] clever: wagnerrp: uhhhh, 86 seconds...
[04:08:32] wagnerrp: Zman1: ill take a look if you want
[04:08:37] Zman1: one sec
[04:08:40] clever: 187 recording rules, 1600 recordings
[04:08:47] clever: wagnerrp: you got it backwards:P

[04:10:21] clever: 220, split over 2 cards
[04:10:36] Zman1: sent you a private chat wagnerrp
[04:10:51] clever: the sound drivers for the bttv box are dead, i should just remove it from mythtv
[04:12:19] wagnerrp: well i still consider that a bit of an outlier
[04:12:34] clever: i'll remove the bttv card and channel listing and see
[04:12:35] wagnerrp: i doubt most people have more than 50 recording rules
[04:13:33] wagnerrp: Zman1: yeah... im going to say your card is going bad
[04:13:46] Supaplex: bad card. no biscuit for you!

[04:13:57] Zman1: shitty...
[04:14:00] wagnerrp: id stick it in another machine to make sure
[04:14:29] Zman1: i used to have a FE/BE before i moved.. havent used this in 7 months
[04:14:56] Zman1: if it works in another machine (ie windows) then what?
[04:15:11] wagnerrp: maybe you have borked drivers or firmware
[04:15:12] clever: wagnerrp: there, card removes, input source removed, master reset, cleaning out all program data for that card
[04:15:36] Zman1: could be the firmware..
[04:15:43] wagnerrp: i doubt its going to make much difference, because the 186 rules are still there
[04:15:51] wagnerrp: 187
[04:16:03] clever: but the program table will be a great deal smaller
[04:16:09] clever: which is where i think alot of the load is
[04:16:46] Zman1: also not sure if it matters but my linux box is 64 bit CentOS
[04:16:55] wagnerrp: do you have multiple rules for each show? or a bunch of overrides? or do you just watch that much different crap?
[04:17:13] wagnerrp: i think ive got ~35 rules
[04:17:39] clever: wagnerrp: some of the rules dont match anything in the program table, theres a chunk of overrides to fix conflicts, and some are channel based rules for the same show on 4 channels
[04:18:23] wagnerrp: why not make them 'any channel' and prioritize the channels themselves?
[04:18:45] clever: because i have 180 rules to edit:P
[04:19:27] clever: mysql> alter table program order by starttime;
[04:19:27] clever: Query OK, 78877 rows affected (49.79 sec)
[04:19:46] clever: (defragged and cleaned up the holes from deleting the other cards data)
[04:20:04] clever: 2009-05–15 01:19:59.504 scheduler: Scheduled items: Scheduled 831 items in 26.7 = 0.18 match + 26.54 place
[04:20:09] clever: avg :(
[04:20:36] clever: 55 of the rules in record dont match any title in program

[04:21:19] wagnerrp: i guess that time makes sense...
[04:22:04] wagnerrp: mine usually takes 1–1.5s, with a ~6x faster chip, 40% the channels, and 20% the rules
[04:22:59] wagnerrp: i just think you could stand to gain considerably by cleaning up your rules
[04:23:14] clever: i'm doing that right now
[04:23:20] clever: so far, its slowed down by 0.1 seconds:P

[04:44:51] eross: now that i'm compiling the whole thing, if i only need mythtvfrontend, do i still need the entire package?
[04:45:13] wagnerrp: theres no such thing as 'mythtvfrontend'
[04:45:30] eross: i thought you could watch tv on one computer to a networked backend
[04:45:33] wagnerrp: and theres no way to compile only mythfrontend without going in and hacking up the makefile
[04:45:59] wagnerrp: everything gets compiled into a bunch of shared libraries
[04:46:07] eross: ok cool
[04:46:12] wagnerrp: so not compiling the backend means you save a couple MB of space
[04:46:53] wagnerrp: so while you used to be able to set a configure flag and make them separately, that was removed sometime around 0.20
[04:48:42] eross: ok i just dont need a backend running on my remote computer
[04:48:52] eross: since it will be running on my server
[04:48:58] wagnerrp: correct
[04:49:06] eross: thanks
[04:49:18] wagnerrp: but you may want to run mythjobqueue, to give you another jobqueue to do things like transcoding or commflagging
[04:49:35] wagnerrp: depending on your frontend's processor capacity, and whether you intend to leave it on
[04:53:38] wagnerrp: yeah... a quick check shows the frontend and backend are linked to all the same libraries
[04:54:01] wagnerrp: so not building the backend executable would save you about a minute of compile time, and about 1.5MB of space
[04:54:07] wagnerrp: not worth the effory

[14:41:27] stuarta: gbee: is that why it's a bit slow??
[14:41:31] sphery: You've made some suprising advancements in memory-friendliness, before, so I was just curious.
[14:43:42] gbee: stuarta: fast enough here, but depending on how it's implemented (I've not looked) it could be re-generating the images each time they are drawn which would be slow on some machines
[14:43:53] gbee: that would be easy to fix
[14:44:57] stuarta: it's the fade time on the guide grid which is most horrible
[14:45:04] stuarta: what's different about the fade in
[14:49:15] gbee: one difference is that on the fade out we only change the alpha of the outgoing screen, fade in we cross fade

[15:33:22] gbee: you can tell mythtv which screen to use in the settings
[15:33:22] iamlindoro: There's a frontend option (off by default) called "Allow backend to run mythfilldatabase"
[15:33:32] iamlindoro: if that's not ticked, myth won't automatically update them
[15:34:07] |chiz|: ok cool I'll check that out
[15:34:09] |chiz|: thanks
[15:35:00] iamlindoro: At work so can't check, but should be in Utilities/Setup->Setup->General or Utilities/Setup->Setup->TV Settings->General
[15:35:04] iamlindoro: Believe it's the former
[15:35:16] iamlindoro: and about 6–7 pages in
[15:36:22] |chiz|: if I want to fill it manually I can just run fythfilldatabase in a terminal right?
[15:36:38] iamlindoro: yes (although it's nicer to let myth do it for you)
[15:36:42] J-e-f-f-A: |chiz|: To check if the listings are updated, there are a couple of ways – perhaps one of the easiest is to point a browser to http://localhost:6544 (or your IP if you prefer) and look at the bottom – "There's guide data until..."
[15:37:11] |chiz|: iamlindoro: I'm just waiting for something at work and was going to browse around to see if there was anything worth recording
[15:37:48] iamlindoro: yeah, this one time you can do it manually, but for a variety of reasons, both convenience and because it's nicer for the listings source, you'll want to tick that box eventually
[15:38:24] |chiz|: for sure, I'll look for it sometime this weekend
[15:38:59] |chiz|: I don't need root perms to run this do i?
[15:39:04] iamlindoro: nope

[15:43:30] J-e-f-f-A: iamlindoro: That's cool. I haven't been able to do much myself for various reasons.. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on the horse in a week or so.
[15:45:26] |chiz|: I asked this here before but didn't really get an answer, If I leave my mythbox on all night on livetv its not the happiest camper in the morning. Is there somethings I can change or check to make it not get all choked up from being left on too long?
[15:46:15] J-e-f-f-A: |chiz|: What do you mean "it's not the happiest camper' ?
[15:46:43] |chiz|: ah, oops, the video/audio is super choppy
[15:48:10] iamlindoro: Well, that *shouldn't* happen, but you shouldn't just leave myth on live TV, either, myth really isn't meant for live TV
[15:48:26] iamlindoro: I'd guess you're filling the disk and myth is expiring the old stuff while recording the new and you're running into I/O issues
[15:48:44] iamlindoro: So, faster/more disks, better file systems, and don't use Live TV, and if you do, don't leave it on
[15:49:32] |chiz|: yeah that is what i figured, the fs could definitely use an improvement
[15:49:32] J-e-f-f-A: |chiz|: There's also an undocumented LiveTV time out you can set by altering/adding a value to the database.

[16:08:22] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Yeah, I once had my OS disk crash hard and was able to recover all my recordings by converting them to videos, it was just a pain going through them and renaming them. ;-)
[16:08:30] J-e-f-f-A: ^^ exactly
[16:09:48] wagnerrp: sid3windr: that was just irresponsible on their part if they thought that was any sort of backup

[16:17:39] wagnerrp: at some point prior, trunk will be branched into a 0.22 fork
[16:17:57] wagnerrp: any version of trunk checked out before that point will be able to be upgraded to the 0.22 release version
[16:19:04] wagnerrp: wait until later, and you run the risk of getting caught on the other side of a schema update, which can only be rolled back manually
[16:20:56] gumpert345: what is a schema update?
[16:21:10] wagnerrp: the database schema
[16:21:17] wagnerrp: its the current layout of the database
[16:21:35] wagnerrp: and really, the only thing that prevents you from reverting to an older version of mythtv
[16:21:58] wagnerrp: mythtv applications are designed to automatically update to new versions, but not downgrade to older ones
[16:22:46] gumpert345: so the best thing would be to keep on using trunk until 0.22 is out and then change to a stable repo, right?

[16:29:49] wagnerrp: theres no guarantee any patch in trac will even make it into mythtv, much less in time for 0.22
[16:30:08] gumpert345: mhm
[16:31:15] gumpert345: but applying the patch wont hinder further updates, will it?

[16:37:45] iamlindoro: Not to mention that patch doesn't even apply to trunk any more
[16:38:18] iamlindoro: So S2 users will have to wait for it to be implemented properly
[16:38:21] pheld: gumpert345: the s2api-patch won't work with trunk (0.22) due to conflicts with all the channel-scanning changes in the last weeks
[16:38:56] pheld: I've got it working, but just beacuse I had done the scanning previously. Now it only works for tuning

[16:41:37] gumpert345: that doesnt sound good, and I think there is no use in asking, when this may be implemented, right?
[16:41:54] pheld: Had to break the scanner to get it to compile, but that's just me being too lazy (or not having the time) to implement s2 scan properly.
[16:41:54] wagnerrp: you have to ask the maintainer of the patch
[16:44:03] gumpert345: janneg will you please put s2api support into trunk?
[16:44:41] [Peter]: In the ticket it says it should be done in a few days.... that was 3 months ago
[16:45:36] iamlindoro: Actually, it says in the next days
[16:45:44] iamlindoro: which is between then and universal heat death

[16:46:10] wagnerrp: if you believe in that sort of thing
[16:46:23] gumpert345: the problem is maintaining it, when it is in trunk, right?
[16:48:20] iamlindoro: I don't understand what you mean
[16:49:09] iamlindoro: The reason it's not in trunk is because the patch doesn't meet the quality and coding standards of the person responsible for that bit-- so until that person has time and energy to make it so, it remains in trac
[16:49:33] gumpert345: I mean when you add some code to trunk you will have to look at it from time to time to see, if it makes problem with other code
[16:49:54] gumpert345: I see

[16:53:00] pak0: i`m looking for spanish imdb but w/o lucky, only one found on google and dont work fine
[16:53:10] pak0: anyone know a good imbd for spanish people?
[16:53:27] pak0: or how can i modify the original imdb.pl for look info on spanish?
[16:53:42] wagnerrp: you dont... imdb is defunct
[16:53:55] pak0: filmaffinity ? alpacine?
[16:53:59] pak0: another one?
[16:54:22] wagnerrp: imdb has made it known they dont want scrapers being run on their site
[16:54:34] wagnerrp: its being replaced by themoviedb.org
[16:54:34] pak0: arg
[16:54:51] sphery: pak0: themoviedb.org supports multiple localized pages per movie
[16:54:54] wagnerrp: there is a howto on the wiki for replacing the imdb scraper with the tmdb one
[16:54:59] sphery: so start adding to tmdb
[16:55:06] pak0: i only see the imdb at wikii
[16:55:08] sphery: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Tmdb.pl
[16:55:31] sphery: feel free to update the imdb pages on the wiki to refer to the tmdb page
[16:56:07] gbee: huh, Quest has been aborted the day after it was supposed to launch
[16:56:17] califdreas: isn't tmdb multilingual?
[16:56:33] pak0: hey! very thanks i go to try now!
[16:56:51] sphery: califdreas: don't think it speaks any languages, but it allows you to put in localized information about movies :)
[16:57:46] gbee: some of the localisation stuff is broken, Travis wanted to concentrate on getting it working with one language before re-enabling the rest

[16:58:30] califdreas: sphery: i know that depending on the browser i use, I sometimes get the movie pages (and the content) in german, sometimes in english
[16:58:38] sphery: pak0: if you use tmdb.pl, you probably want to apply some patches--most importantly meshe's patch at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6421 (v4), but if you have a bad network/your own name server, also http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6428
[16:58:57] pak0: very thanks sphery
[16:59:09] gbee: califdreas: depends on your browser sending the correct locale information
[16:59:11] sphery: califdreas: yeah, it allows adding different info depending on locale
[16:59:29] pak0: i`m looking too for a plugin for series similar on mediaportal, we have anyting?
[17:00:15] sphery: pak0: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6242
[17:00:24] sphery: pak0: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6440
[17:01:35] califdreas: sphery, gbee: it would be cool if that was part of the api as well. I'd love to get the movie info in two languages and just switch between them.
[17:01:54] sphery: califdreas: patches for that would be /very/ much appreciated
[17:02:42] |Torg|: pak0 do you mean make mythfrontend look like mediaportal???
[17:02:43] califdreas: sphery: i'll get to it once i learn how to write code :)
[17:02:53] sphery: I think the tmdb api allows it... You probably just need to fix tmdb.pl to support specifying a language, then modify mythvideo's DB schema/data access to support it. Everything except the MV mods would be easy (even for a non-coder)
[17:03:05] sphery: (though easy does not imply quick :)
[17:03:07] pak0: hmmm
[17:03:24] pak0: why |Torg| ?
[17:04:04] ** sphery wonders why he's getting an empty response from http://api.themoviedb.org/2.0/docs/ **
[17:04:07] |Torg|: you asked for a plugin (I think you meant skin) to make it " series similar on mediaportal"
[17:04:27] pak0: i`m looking that sphery, and its possible to use now with the new MythuI?

[17:04:38] pak0: MythUI its functional?
[17:04:43] sphery: califdreas: anyway, if you're interested in updating tmdb.pl, the tmdb API is (supposed to be) at http://api.themoviedb.org/2.0/docs/
[17:04:59] sphery: pak0: not sure what you mean
[17:05:07] califdreas: just from the sounds of it, I guess I should look at the perl part. but coding in anything c'ish is out of my league.
[17:05:45] pak0: my english sux, apologize
[17:06:07] califdreas: sphery: I bookmarked the page. doesn't seem to be online for now, though.
[17:06:37] |Torg|: pak0 if you simply want it to look similar to media center, look up a theme called MythCenter
[17:06:47] sphery: if you get the perl stuff done, it will encourage users around the world to start using themoviedb and stop using the "We steal your data" IMDb site. That will make tmdb a better site, so more people will use it, then more people would be interested in things like the "store multiple localized versions of metadata about recordings" idea, so other people are more likely to write that patch for MythVideo :)
[17:06:53] sphery: and a butterfly flaps its wings...
[17:07:18] sphery: califdreas: yeah, I'm getting an empty response (not even an HTTP error)
[17:08:57] pak0: no, i dont like the look of mediaportal
[17:08:57] sphery: pak0: basically, tmdb and thetvdb are only usable in MythVideo... There are patches that help integrate the metadata better into the MythVideo experience and ideas being thrown around about integrating it into the MythTV/Watch Recordings area.
[17:09:04] califdreas: hm. far reaching implications. maybe I should start with chaos theory, then perl?
[17:09:11] sphery: califdreas: heh
[17:09:16] pak0: thank you s`hery

[17:21:09] sphery: mine has several, but shuts off the streams for a couple subchannels during "primetime" to increase bandwidth for the main channel's HDTV
[17:21:33] |Torg|: ive never watched the weather radar to see :)

[17:36:57] iamlindoro: No, You were looking at the wrong info then, as I suspect you are now

[17:37:42] AndyCap: Hmm http://mymythtv.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
[17:37:53] wagnerrp: right, so the data must remain below the signal, or you drop data
[17:37:54] iamlindoro: when he claimed his PBS affiliate was broadcasting 78 Mbit video
[17:37:56] sphery: so, is video constrained to signal bitrate or can it go higher--provided there's sufficient signal bitrate over time
[17:38:05] AndyCap: so that blog suggests using -b 65000 for ffmpeg
[17:38:25] AndyCap: I smell a rat

[17:55:00] iamlindoro: |Torg|: As I continue to explain, that is a label, and nothing more
[17:55:12] iamlindoro: it is *not* information about the data rate of your recording
[17:55:46] iamlindoro: The line I quoted you above is the correct piece of information to look at for bitrate
[17:56:20] iamlindoro: I never said you misquoted, I told you you insist on quoting the *wrong* piece of information
[17:56:21] |Torg|: so then, why is the label wrong?
[17:56:35] iamlindoro: Because it doesn't *mean* anything
[17:56:39] wagnerrp: because it doesnt matter if its right
[17:57:09] wagnerrp: the decoders in cable boxes and tvs dont care, and the general users never see it
[17:57:20] iamlindoro: One is metadata, one is a calculation of the stream's average bitrate
[17:57:29] wagnerrp: so why make the minimal effort to do things properly
[17:57:30] |Torg|: still that is not justification for mislabeling
[17:57:38] sphery: EvilBob: make sure, also, you have ports 6543, 6544, 6545, 6546 (and, possibly 6948) unblocked
[17:58:03] iamlindoro: It's *NOT MISLABELING*, you can set it to any arbitrarily high number you like
[17:58:22] iamlindoro: Presumably to be > the mux rate of any source it might be distributed on
[17:58:45] iamlindoro: But you're changing the focus of the argument because you're frustrated about being wrong
[17:59:07] |Torg|: I never claimed to be right, I simply copied the lines from mplayer
[17:59:29] iamlindoro: You claimed ATSC was capable of 65 Mbit, then when told that was incorrect, you fought tooth and nail about it
[17:59:41] iamlindoro: By quoting information you didn't and possibly still don't understand
[18:00:05] iamlindoro: You copied lines that mean "B" in an argument about "A"
[18:00:43] |Torg|: I said I had SEEN it not that atsc was capable of it, In fact I told you I didnt think it was capable of it yet I had a recording that told me otherwise
[18:00:56] iamlindoro: "|Torg|: it can go as high as 65mbps tho"
[18:01:15] |Torg|: yes i was referring to my recording
[18:01:19] iamlindoro: "wagnerrp: what can?
[18:01:19] iamlindoro: [10:33am] |Torg|: atsc bordcasts"
[18:01:35] iamlindoro: Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining
[18:02:10] iamlindoro: Jesus christ, just stick your fingers in your ears and scream "I'M NOT WRONG!" until the voices stop or something
[18:02:14] califdreas: i usually take my recording, lokk at the length and size, and do a rough calc. of the bitrate.
[18:02:23] iamlindoro: califdreas: Rightly so :)
[18:03:32] |Torg|: iamlindoro: this isnt about being right or wrong Its simply about what the recordings display as rate
[18:03:39] laga: for fucks sake
[18:03:49] iamlindoro: |Torg|: It's about *you* not knowing where to look for that information

[18:26:26] meshe: it was a feature of imdb i used to use, but tmdb is better as you don't need to be logged in to view the list
[18:26:38] meshe: http://www.themoviedb.org/user/meshe/movies
[18:27:36] RyeBrye: you only own 3 movies? and one of them is originally a made-for-tv holiday special?
[18:27:59] meshe: once you get over a couple hundred movies it's pretty hard to remember if you own x movie when you're at the store and see something you like (at least for me it is)
[18:28:14] meshe: RyeBrye: 14:24 < meshe> i'm going to be adding all of my dvds to "My Movies" in tmdb
[18:28:21] RyeBrye: ok :)
[18:28:36] meshe: that was a test run with what I had in front of me
[18:28:44] RyeBrye: Do they have some kind of bulk load where you can submit UPC numbers? you could rig up a bar code scanner and chirp away
[18:29:01] meshe: no, but that would be a great addition
[18:29:52] RyeBrye: It would certainly make that process much less painful – even using a webcam for scanning barcodes these days works ok (even if it is still a bit slower than a normal barcode scanner)
[18:29:58] wagnerrp: go ahead and suggest it
[18:30:10] meshe: but, this way, i can verify that the movie information is full and correct and update it if i need to
[18:31:15] RyeBrye: You could rig up a flash app that would use the users webcam and allow them to hold the video in front of their camera, snap the image, decode the barcode, and then submit that to their server and show the movie on their server
[18:31:40] meshe: i was pondering doing that with the iphone...
[18:31:49] EvilBob: does not make sense that the slaves it would appear anyhow are not trying to contact the master backend

[18:32:36] RyeBrye: the camears in the android G1 phones are great for barcodes because they will focus in quickly and get a crisp shot
[18:34:52] wagnerrp: they really need to edit the search, so common words are not used
[18:35:07] meshe: i'd even pick up a cheap barcode scanner to do it, preferably one that had a driver that emulated the keyboard
[18:35:14] wagnerrp: every time i do a movie with 'the', its the matrix, the dark knight, and the LOTR series
[18:35:41] wagnerrp: meanwhile, the movie i want is some 25 items down

[18:36:32] wagnerrp: remember kids... '~' is different for different users

[19:32:30] wagnerrp: neither is their site
[19:32:55] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: and sadly, it probably wont give you significantly better quality pictures than your 4MP one
[19:33:29] wagnerrp: lens and ccd size/quality is considerably more important than MP
[19:33:37] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Yeah, especially since min is the Kodak with the huge lense and 10x zoom. Incredible pics with that for 4MP.
[19:34:10] ** sid3windr recently upgraded from a Nikon Coolpix 4300 to a D60 .. yum =) **

[19:43:58] sid3windr: size diff between hq jpeg and png will also be considerable
[19:44:10] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: I'd imagine the 'high end' cameras support much less 'lossy' formats – I'll have to ask a couple of my friends that have 'real' SLR digital cameras.
[19:44:34] wagnerrp: but who cares, 4GB SD cards are dirt cheap these days
[19:44:36] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: A fair number of mid range PAS cameras do RAW
[19:45:05] sid3windr: 4GB :/
[19:45:10] ** sid3windr has a 16G SHDC in his camera **
[19:45:36] wagnerrp: well i mean theres no reason to do raw either, when you have nice compressed image formats
[19:45:39] sid3windr: I would have had to swap the 4GB cards twice
[19:45:47] sid3windr: on one afternoon... :)
[19:46:08] sid3windr: my DSLR does 3 standards of JPG, or Raw, or Raw+Jpeg
[19:46:10] J-e-f-f-A: That's one drawback of my older camera — only does 'regular' SD — so 2GB is the max card I can use, but hey, that's 1700 pictures at high quality... ;-)
[19:46:15] sid3windr: no lossless formats
[19:46:21] sid3windr: (well apart from raw)

[20:29:20] wagnerrp: denos: there is an issue where some providers 'skip' frames, causing a hour long recording to be ~51 minutes
[20:29:35] wagnerrp: the result is slightly sped up playback

[20:32:39] denos: wagnerrp: Ok. Maybe I'll try watching a recording live and see if the skips are in the source feed (signal quality) or only in the recording. There have been a few complaints about HD signal quality with my provider so that fits.

[20:39:06] cponce123: hello
[20:39:42] cponce123: i'm building a new computer and i want to have pvr option. Does any one have a good recommendation for a tv tuner card?
[20:39:50] RyeBrye: I hope Alpha doesn't become like The Penguin or something – it felt a little cheesy how he just slipped away at the end of the finale
[20:39:59] wagnerrp: analog or digital?
[20:40:03] cponce123: digital
[20:40:08] RyeBrye: cable or OTA?
[20:40:09] cponce123: i have direct tv hd
[20:40:12] cponce123: cable
[20:40:22] wagnerrp: direct tv != cable
[20:40:39] RyeBrye: DirecTV HD will require you to use an analog capture – the HD-PVR, which is currently in development
[20:40:46] tris (tris!i=tristan@camel.ethereal.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:40:52] RyeBrye: or rather, the support for it is in development
[20:41:00] wagnerrp: are you looking for general advice? or advice related to linux/mythtv?
[20:41:48] cponce123: general advice at this point
[20:42:12] wagnerrp: so... windows
[20:42:17] cponce123: windows
[20:42:30] cponce123: i've tried linux, i like, my wife doesn't understand and she demands windows
[20:42:32] cponce123: soo....
[20:42:33] cponce123: yeah
[20:42:41] wagnerrp: you might want to check out the engadgethd post about DIY cablecard tuners

[20:43:22] wagnerrp: otherwise, for directtv and digital cable, youre pretty much going to need analog capture
[20:43:53] wagnerrp: check out silicondust.com to see what you might get over digital cable unencrypted (standard QAM tuner, rather than cablecard)
[20:44:12] iamlindoro: DirectTV is not cable
[20:44:25] wagnerrp: yeah, but he said both

[20:44:48] cponce123: that work
[20:44:55] cponce123: s
[20:45:04] iamlindoro: (and not capturable digitally either)
[20:45:23] wagnerrp: i thought you grabbed some with a dvb-s card
[20:46:27] iamlindoro: Ugh, lag
[20:46:40] iamlindoro: My directTV is not cable came in several minutes after I wrote it, sigh
[20:46:54] iamlindoro: and DirectTV isn't DVB-S either
[20:46:58] iamlindoro: It's DSS
[20:47:43] cponce123: so pretty much what i need is an analog capture card to capture whatever signal my direct tv box is throwing?
[20:47:54] wagnerrp: yes
[20:48:43] sphery: iamlindoro: nice... hope it's not just an empty rumor
[20:49:09] cponce123: do you have any recommendations?
[20:49:37] cponce123: nevermind
[20:49:40] cponce123: i found a collection
[20:49:44] sphery: hauppauge hardware encoders ftw
[20:49:53] sphery: PVR-x50/500 or HVR-1600
[20:50:06] wagnerrp: 1600/1800/2250
[20:50:08] sphery: might be some others that work, too
[20:50:19] wagnerrp: if you want to pick up broadcast digital
[20:50:31] wagnerrp: otherwise, just get an old 150/500 off ebay
[20:51:27] cponce123: i see
[20:51:55] wagnerrp: or if you dont actually want PVR functionality, and just want to be able to watch tv live... grab any cheapo framegrabber
[20:52:20] cponce123: i want pvr functionality
[20:53:09] cponce123: pretty much, i can set my direct tv box to autotune for a channel, and at whatever that time, i want my computer to record that signal
[20:53:46] wagnerrp: theres what we call an 'ir blaster', which is a little ir transmitter that you tape to the receiver on the DTV box

[20:54:01] wagnerrp: and it allows the recording program to change the channel on the receiver for you
[20:54:17] cponce123: nice
[20:54:38] J-e-f-f-A: cponce123: Yeah, you don't change channels 'manually' on the Dtv box anymore – you hide the remote and control it via MythTV only.
[20:54:44] wagnerrp: all of those hauppauge cards come with one, whether built in, or with the bundled MCE remote
