[00:00:16] nighthawk: oh yeah, google image search says mine was an x36
[00:00:57] wagnerrp: huh... didnt realize the 36 was that old... mid-late 90s
[00:01:01] nighthawk: lol, arctic/wii model: http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2007/163 . . . 7_screen.jpg
[00:01:19] nighthawk: yeah, it was like 200$ or so, I remember driving an hour to buy it
[00:01:41] nighthawk: big step up from the MS sidewinder pro
[00:02:09] wagnerrp: yeah, i had something like that... sidewinder 3d pro or something
[00:02:23] wagnerrp: bumped up to a cyborg evo, and then an x52
[00:03:11] nighthawk: did you play freespace2? I swear half of battle star galactica tech is ripped off from it
[00:03:32] nighthawk: memories get fuzzy, but I recognize a lot of soundfx
[00:03:52] wagnerrp: no, never played any of freespace
[00:03:56] brad2: hey guys, trying out the hd-pvr on a slower computer with vdpau, getting some odd errors, when i try to play the video, it is kind of jerky with audio pauses for the first 20–30 seconds, and then it sort of rights itself and plays perfectly (cpu usage never climbs about 10%)
[00:04:07] brad2: during the herky jerky video, i get alot of errors like this: 2009-08–22 19:58:12.951 NVP(0): Video is 4.02652 frames ahead of audio,
[00:04:08] brad2: doubling video frame interval to slow down.
[00:04:19] brad2: any ideas or advice? :>
[00:04:20] nighthawk: brad2, disable cpuscaling
[00:04:39] nighthawk: if that doesn't solve it, lower the deinterlace settings
[00:04:44] wagnerrp: brad2: there is a playback option in the settings, flips between using the audio and video as the time base
[00:04:57] wagnerrp: one of those is preferred, the other buggy... i dont remember which
[00:05:03] brad2: thanks guys i will try that
[00:05:13] brad2: nighthawk: where would i find cpuscaling? in tv playback settings?
[00:05:20] nighthawk: no, os setting
[00:05:22] nighthawk: what dist?
[00:05:27] brad2: fedora 11
[00:05:35] wagnerrp: what processor?
[00:05:38] nighthawk: wait, that only applies if you have an IGP
[00:05:46] nighthawk: is your nvidia onboard or a PCIe card?
[00:05:48] wagnerrp: a 'slower computer' may very well not even support scaling
[00:05:58] brad2: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+
[00:06:06] brad2: pcie card
[00:06:10] brad2: nvidia 9500gt
[00:06:35] nighthawk: hmm, wagnerrp's advice might work better, but you can try lowering deinterlace settings if not
[00:06:48] brad2: okay, thanks i will try those
[00:06:52] nighthawk: I think the 9500 has enough power to do advanced 2x
[00:06:59] nighthawk: my 8300 does not :(
[00:07:17] brad2: i think i'm trying advanced 1x right now
[00:07:35] wagnerrp: a 9500gt should handle all of the VDPAU deinterlace modes at full 1080i
[00:09:35] brad2: yeah so i just disabled deinterlace, and same thing
[00:09:42] brad2: going to try the time base suggestion now
[00:10:51] J-e-f-f-A: brad2: are you sure it's using VDPAU and not falling back to a software decoder?
[00:11:11] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: if the CPU never went above 10%...
[00:11:24] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: ah, ok. I missed that..  ;-)
[00:12:41] brad2: yeah i'm pretty sure it's vdpau
[00:12:52] brad2: the weird part is.. i get all those NVP errors in the first 15 seconds
[00:13:01] beatbreak (beatbreak!n=AndyMike@211.30.108.5) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:13:04] brad2: and then it just fixes itself and plays perfectly
[00:13:32] brad2: could it have something to do with pulse audio? I compiled the pulse audio disable support, but last time i installed this, i actually ripped pulse audio completely out of the system
[00:13:48] Dagmar: That would be that pesky common sense kicking.
[00:13:52] Dagmar: er kicking in.
[00:14:09] nighthawk: pulse audio seemed really cool until I realized it was entirely unapplicable to mythtv and even detrimental
[00:14:26] brad2: dagmar: common sense is ripping out pulse audio?
[00:14:31] nighthawk: I do get a kick out of reading lenarts comments
[00:14:32] Dagmar: Frankly, yes.
[00:14:47] brad2: okay i think that's my next step
[00:16:08] nighthawk: I saw recently someone mention a perlscript or similar for changing mythfrontend settings instead of navigating around the interface... what is it called?
[00:16:25] laga: nighthawk: lenarts comments? where?
[00:16:32] brad2: dagmar: YOU ROCK! thanks for the advice
[00:16:37] brad2: removing pulseaudio fixed it right up
[00:17:06] nighthawk: laga: anything he had written, esp some of his "disputes" with some other developer
[00:17:12] laga: nighthawk: ah
[00:17:12] Dagmar: Wait, I know one... How much of the money from next years profits will be going into a room for rolling around naked in
[00:17:35] nighthawk: I don't know what his native language is, but his english makes me grin
[00:17:48] Dagmar: wwheee.... so the wrong channel
[00:17:51] laga: nighthawk: i believe he's dutch. not sure
[00:18:01] laga: Dagmar: yeah. i tried very hard to put that into some context
[00:18:18] Dagmar: Yeah I was asked if i had any questions for a blizzcon panel

[00:19:01] Dagmar: Man they're talking about having cross-server LFG and instances
[00:19:04] Dagmar: That's just crazy

[03:08:30] meatmanek: I'm running archlinux and am setting up mythtv for the first time. I have 2 capture cards (the same type), and I see /dev/video0 and /dev/video1, but not /dev/v4l/video0 or 1.
[03:09:04] iamlindoro: functionally identical
[03:09:15] iamlindoro: only variable between them is where your distro decides they live
[03:09:18] meatmanek: under capture card setup in mythtv-setup, if I put /dev/video0 as the video device, I get "Failed to open" under Probed info
[03:09:18] wagnerrp: meatmanek: its just a preference of the distro
[03:09:30] Dagmar: I fail to see how that demonstrates any sort of a problem
[03:09:40] wagnerrp: meatmanek: that probably indicates a permissions error
[03:09:46] meatmanek: I was just thinking that
[03:09:48] iamlindoro: Yep, that settles it, people who want to use my next theme can damn well buy a decent font
[03:09:51] Dagmar: So, what point in the install instructions are you at?
[03:10:22] Dagmar: Because, you know... *not* reading them will result in failure every time.
[03:10:25] Dagmar: hint hint
[03:10:25] meatmanek: I'm following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MythTV_HOWTO
[03:10:39] meatmanek: at Capture card menu
[03:10:53] wagnerrp: are you choosing the correct type of capture card?
[03:11:06] wagnerrp: mpeg encoder vs. v4l framegrabber?
[03:11:23] meatmanek: hold on, let me restart x to see if it wasn't just a permissions issue
[03:11:26] Dagmar: Well, that's awesome. I could print their instructions on two sheets of paper
[03:11:36] wagnerrp: why would restarting X do anything?
[03:11:49] wagnerrp: tuner cards have absolutely nothing to do with X

[03:12:22] wagnerrp: well a quick 'su' to yourself would fix that
[03:12:42] Josh_: This is really weird. My channel ordering is set to "numeric", but "14.0" and "15.0" fall in betwen "2" and "2.1"
[03:12:49] meatmanek: aha
[03:12:58] wagnerrp: and you shouldnt be running mythtv-setup as 'yourself' anyway
[03:13:03] meatmanek: no?
[03:13:10] wagnerrp: you should be running it as the user that will eventually run mythbackend
[03:13:16] meatmanek: ah good paint
[03:13:18] meatmanek: point
[03:13:19] Dagmar: Yeah so try the install documentation on wiki.mythtv.org
[03:13:25] wagnerrp: which if youre using the packaged init scripts, that is usually user 'mythtv'
[03:13:29] Dagmar: ...because that archlinux page is crap
[03:13:44] wagnerrp: i think one or two runs as root
[03:14:00] Dagmar: Even the bit about nVidia XvMC setup is wrong

[03:15:13] Josh_: If I've changed the xmltvid for a channel (via mythweb or the channel editor in LiveTV) how do I get the program data updated?
[03:15:38] wagnerrp: manually run mythfilldatabase
[03:15:56] Josh_: wagnerrp, any command line options?
[03:16:15] wagnerrp: you probably should, i dont know them off hand

[03:25:26] Josh_: wagnerrp, mythfilldatabase is only saying "Did not find any new program data", and exits. No changes to the incorrect guide data.
[03:25:27] iamlindoro: --refresh-all --refresh-today
[03:25:36] Josh_: iamlindoro, I did a --refresh-all
[03:25:47] iamlindoro: look at tomorrow's listings
[03:26:12] iamlindoro: if there's nothing there, then you put in the wrong XMLTVid or that id doesn't exist in one of your SD lineups
[03:27:31] Josh_: iamlindoro, there's info there, its just incorrect. And the channels that had not had an XMLTV ID specified still return no listings, even though there is a valid XMLTV ID specified and another channel that uses the same XMLTV ID shows data.
[03:28:59] iamlindoro: mythfilldatabase will *never* just crap out on a refresh-all unless it's misconfigured
[03:29:11] iamlindoro: --refresh-all should take a very, very long time
[03:29:23] Josh_: It's done in....
[03:30:16] Josh_: 2009-08–22 22:28:22.735 to 2009-08–22 22:28:50.142
[03:30:28] iamlindoro: Then your SD config in mythtv-setup or at SD is very very broken
[03:30:36] iamlindoro: 18 seconds means it didn't refresh anything, let alone all
[03:30:41] iamlindoro: so you're misconfigured
[03:30:41] Josh_: agreed.
[03:30:45] Josh_: okay, let me dig around

[03:36:24] iamlindoro: jya, http://www.miffteevee.co.uk/themes/metallurgy.html
[03:36:52] jya: ok thanks ... I'm converting all my boxes to use trunk ; will make it easier to program if I can get testers :)
[03:37:27] jya: OSD from 0.21 works with trunk ?
[03:37:56] iamlindoro: jya, yeah, the OSDs aren't MythUI'd yet so there's backwards compat
[03:38:09] jya: great
[03:38:35] jya: nice looking theme that metallurgy
[03:38:43] iamlindoro: yeah, it's gbee's
[03:38:59] Josh_: iamlindoro, MUUUUCH better, thanks.
[03:39:10] iamlindoro: Josh_, found it? Glad to hear it
[03:39:34] Josh_: I must have changed my password on SchedulesDirect, and didnt dawn on me.. Not sure when though.
[03:40:53] Josh_: I want to run trunk, but I dont want to run it on the living room pc, which sadly, is my only frontend as of yet.
[03:40:55] jya: what's the best process to upgrade a 0.21 install to trunk ? looking at mythvideo right now, none of my posters seems to have survived , they don't show up
[03:41:14] wagnerrp: Josh_: give it a couple weeks, and it wont matter anyway
[03:41:30] Josh_: wagnerrp, I read you guys are shooting to release 0.22 before november?
[03:41:42] iamlindoro: jya, hmm, none at all? posters should make it... what theme?
[03:41:48] iamlindoro: Josh_, before October
[03:41:49] wagnerrp: october, feature freeze starts monday
[03:42:01] iamlindoro: Josh_, as in, feature freeze monday and release sometime next month
[03:42:12] jya: the default one, GANT .. I haven't done anything to the install yet: no special theme etc
[03:42:17] Josh_: *hmmm*
[03:42:33] Josh_: As soon as a decent upgrade guide comes out, I'll do it.

[03:43:51] wagnerrp: Josh_: ideally, the work done after the feature freeze will be bugfixes, and making sure the upgrade from 0.21 to 0.22 is painless
[03:44:01] wagnerrp: but there will be some issues
[03:44:09] Josh_: there always are.
[03:44:15] jya: something else I've noticed, though that was with a trunk install of about 1 month ago, the ability for mythvideo to show files (Video Browser browses files" didn't seem to have any effect
[03:44:17] wagnerrp: some people will have corrupt databases, that will have to be dumped, or manually fixed
[03:44:25] jya: only videos in the database showed up
[03:44:29] wagnerrp: some people will have old themes that are not compatible with the new UI
[03:44:36] Josh_: I don't mind completely starting over, as long as my channels and dtv_multiplex tables can be moved over
[03:44:46] wagnerrp: mythvideo is moving over to storage groups, which may cause some hiccups
[03:44:52] iamlindoro: jya, depends on whether you converted to Storage Groups in mythvideo-- if so, yeah, file browsing doesn't work there yet
[03:45:03] Josh_: Ooh.
[03:45:06] jya: no, I didn't convert anything
[03:45:14] Josh_: File browsing in MythVideo doesnt work in -trunk?
[03:45:16] jya: I always had a separate install for 0.21-fixes and trunk
[03:45:34] wagnerrp: technically, 0.21 isnt really designed for file browsing
[03:45:46] jya: so here, all I did is install a packaged trunk (Weekly mythbuntu) and ran mythbackend / frontend
[03:45:53] jya: no database were changed manually
[03:45:59] wagnerrp: unless you use a very restrictive 'browse' mode, you have to scan everything before hand
[03:46:06] wagnerrp: and mythvideo only shows the contents of the database
[03:46:11] Josh_: I guess that's not a problem, as long as there's a way to scan without tying up the frontend.
[03:46:23] iamlindoro: jya, can you show me one row from videometadata?
[03:46:33] iamlindoro: any one without a poster showing up is fine
[03:46:36] jya: how do I do that ?
[03:46:45] iamlindoro: select * from videometadata where title = "sometitlethatdoesn'thaveaposter";
[03:46:53] wagnerrp: Josh_: scanning is done on the frontend, and takes a couple seconds to do
[03:47:11] Josh_: wagnerrp, depending on how many files are in the search directories.
[03:47:23] Josh_: but I see what you're suggesting.
[03:47:28] jya: oh well restarting the frontend , I now have posters ....
[03:47:30] iamlindoro: jya, a random guess would be that one of the DB upgrade steps went awry and so the db query is failing
[03:47:31] Josh_: It's really not that big of a deal.
[03:47:32] jya: go wonder ...
[03:47:33] wagnerrp: ive got a couple thousand, from various tv shows, movies, and other videos
[03:47:36] wagnerrp: it takes a couple seconds
[03:47:39] iamlindoro: jya, heh, yeah, that got fixed this week I think
[03:47:56] iamlindoro: jya, it would stop at 1027, then move on the next time the frontend got started
[03:48:17] iamlindoro: so yeah, the DB upgrade wasn't complete so building the tree would have failed since the query didn't match the DB
[03:48:37] jya: the other issue that made me awry of moving to trunk for the main system, is that when I ran a scan, I would sometimes get duplicate in mythvideo
[03:48:56] iamlindoro: jya, and you haven't set up video SGs yet?
[03:49:01] jya: no
[03:49:17] iamlindoro: ah, in that case is there any chance you scanned twice without leaving MythVideo?
[03:49:27] jya: could be ...
[03:49:33] iamlindoro: ie if you scan > 1 time right now, without leaving MythVideo and waiting for the cache to die, you get dupes :(
[03:49:41] iamlindoro: Anduin has it under control and should be fixing it in the next day or two
[03:49:50] wagnerrp: that reminds me, does mythvideo still refuse to run if you have no 'VideoStartupDir'?
[03:49:56] iamlindoro: (and fixing it such that we don't need to leave mythvideo after a scan, it'll all just "pop in"
[03:50:04] Josh_: wagnerrp, if it only takes a couple seconds to scan, why not just have that run when you enter MythVideo?
[03:50:09] jya: great .. because nothing worse that a carefully crafter metadata set to get damaged
[03:50:18] jya: and with plenty of duplicates
[03:50:24] Josh_: wagnerrp, as long as there's a prompt saying what the stall is for, it's ok
[03:50:52] jya: the video SG have to be set in mythtv-setup and it can be done in mythfrontend ?
[03:51:02] iamlindoro: jya, correct, in mythtv-setup
[03:51:11] jya: ok
[03:51:24] iamlindoro: jya, though there are a fair number of rough edges there still
[03:51:32] iamlindoro: though I'm gradually getting them smoothed out
[03:51:33] jya: I'm a tad stressed, wife got home earlier than scheduled, and she will give me grief for sure
[03:51:54] Josh_: jya, are you a developer?
[03:52:06] iamlindoro: jya, You may want to hold off setting up SGs if there's the wife to keep happy, there's a fair bit of unimplemented stuff
[03:52:12] Josh_: jya, or generally can code stuff?
[03:52:16] iamlindoro: jya is a dev
[03:52:25] Josh_: mmk
[03:52:45] wagnerrp: yeah, i saw earlier today you had an account on trac
[03:53:18] jya: so to summarise: if I don't set SG , I may get dupe if I scan twice, but if I set SG wife we'll be unhappy ? :)
[03:53:39] jya: yeah, got promoted this morning :)
[03:53:57] wagnerrp: congrats
[03:54:14] jya: thank you ...
[03:54:24] iamlindoro: jya, to summarize if you do SGs + local you'll get dupes no matter what ;)
[03:54:25] wagnerrp: is that 'leave mythvideo, wait five seconds' thing something expected to be finished by 0.22?
[03:54:32] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, yes
[03:54:47] iamlindoro: will be fixed in the next couple days, and will no longer produce dupes or require leaving
[03:55:06] jya: ah ok... so if I set SG, I have to uncheck the browse files bit
[03:55:28] iamlindoro: yep
[03:55:37] jya: ok
[03:56:26] jya: ok, next step is to install your Graphite theme
[03:56:56] iamlindoro: Once you do, you will probably want to rescan anything in your video library that is television
[03:57:08] iamlindoro: so that the new filename parser can pick up season/episode/subtitle
[03:57:21] meatmanek: hooray channel scanning is working
[03:57:21] iamlindoro: then you'll probably want to do new metadata grabs to get fanart/banners/screenshots
[03:57:30] iamlindoro: (W is the new shortcut key for that)
[03:57:31] jya: iamlindoro: for the metallurgy theme, and the URL you gave me earlier : you use the 0.21 one , or the trunk one ?
[03:57:40] iamlindoro: jya, for the OSD, they're the same
[03:57:41] MaverickTech (MaverickTech!n=Maverick@111.86.233.220.static.exetel.com.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:57:43] meatmanek: is there a way to copy the channel list from one input to another?
[03:57:45] iamlindoro: (I don't use the theme part)
[03:57:58] meatmanek: cause I have two tv cards both hooked up to the cable, so they will get the exact same channels
[03:58:02] meatmanek: and I don't feel like scanning again
[03:58:16] wagnerrp: meatmanek: you have one source
[03:58:22] wagnerrp: you bind that source to multiple inputs
[03:58:40] wagnerrp: channels are stored with the source, not the card or the input
[03:58:41] jya: currently , my videos are organised like this: TV / Law & Order / Season 1 / file_s01E02_title.avi
[03:58:50] jya: that's compatible with your new stuff ?
[03:58:55] meatmanek: I see
[03:59:22] iamlindoro: jya, if the name of the file is actually "Law and Order s01e02 blah.avi" then yes
[03:59:42] iamlindoro: it'll pick that up as title = Law and Order, Season = 1, Episode = 2, subtitle = blah
[04:00:22] jya: no, I don't have the title again in the name of the file :(
[04:00:56] iamlindoro: In that ase that won't work w/ the filename parsing
[04:00:58] iamlindoro: er case
[04:01:00] jya: a quick script will chage that
[04:01:08] iamlindoro: yeah
[04:01:19] coolthreads: if im recording from one transponder, does this stop channels from another transponders being accessible
[04:01:36] jya: Actually, I've added something to rename a file in the python bindings ; so I don't loose all the metadata
[04:01:53] coolthreads: Oh okay just finished recording from a different transponder and now those missing channels are back
[04:02:00] meatmanek: how do you delete a livetv storage directory?
[04:02:17] iamlindoro: jya, you could just do a quick set of mysql queries I guess
[04:02:31] wagnerrp: meatmanek: delete the directory from the storage group, item 6 in mythtv-setup
[04:02:41] iamlindoro: jya, ie "update videometadata set season = "1" where filename like "%s01%";
[04:02:49] meatmanek: right, I go into storage directories
[04:02:51] meatmanek: livetv-
[04:03:19] meatmanek: I see the entry I want to delete, the correct entry, and (Add New Directory)
[04:03:46] wagnerrp: coolthreads: with 'multirec', you can record from multiple channels on a single transponder
[04:03:55] wagnerrp: but one tuner, can only tune one transponder at a time
[04:04:04] meatmanek: ah, just changing it to the correct entry deletes it
[04:04:06] wagnerrp: meatmanek: highlight the directory you want to delete, and hit 'd'
[04:04:18] meatmanek: thanks
[04:04:30] Josh_: iamlindoro, mythfilldatabase just finished, and the guide data is *perfect* so far.
[04:04:44] iamlindoro: jya, it won't parse the filename unless it's being scanned fresh into the library, so if you want to keep metadata you will probably need to set season/episode/subtitle manually or w/ some mysql queries
[04:04:48] iamlindoro: Josh_, cool
[04:05:33] jya: may be worth writing a script to do all this automatically, would ease the upgrade pain
[04:05:41] Josh_: The channels are all out of order still, but at least the guide data's correct.
[04:06:01] jya: may be worth adding a wiki entry for the purpose alone
[04:06:07] coolthreads: wagnerrp: just learnt what a transponder was last night, and yes I thought that I could multirec from one transponder. Now I have a understanding to buy another dvb-s card. thanks for your help
[04:06:11] jya: if it hasn't been done that is...
[04:06:31] iamlindoro: jya, Jamu does a pretty good job of mass metadata grab/etc. in a way compatible w/ mythvideo in .22... but that's obviously from scratch
[04:06:52] iamlindoro: but yes, I will write up the filename and path conventions in the next week or two
[04:10:06] coolthreads: ta
[04:11:15] iamlindoro: jya, in short it will parse all the common "internet" naming formats, ie $title 1x01 $subtitle.ext, or $title s01e01 $subtitle.ext, or $title Season # Episode # $subtitle.ext, etc.
[04:11:40] jya: for the "Directory that holds movie poster" screenshots etc.. does this have to be a local directory, or it can retrieve all of this via the backend ?
[04:12:36] iamlindoro: jya, SG homed movies save/load metadata images from the backend, "local" homed movies save/load images from the local settings
[04:13:13] iamlindoro: *Technically* it's possible to mix the two, but it involves editing database records manually
[04:13:43] jya: when you create a SG, can you "move" existing files (with metadata) into it ?
[04:13:53] iamlindoro: with some effort
[04:14:12] iamlindoro: need to change the paths and add the host to videometadata
[04:14:24] jya: or it's a matter of redoing a scan (that includes retrieving all the info from imdb/tmdb)
[04:14:42] iamlindoro: yeah, though IMO that's the easier option
[04:14:47] iamlindoro: (especially if you use Jamu)
[04:15:38] jya: never heard of Jamu ... it took me a while to get all the metadata properly added, often there was duplicate, so pretty much everything got done manually by entering the imdb# in the mythvideo bit ...

[04:16:40] iamlindoro: per-frontend
[04:17:11] jya: it's a bit confusing sometimes the settings, some of them are local to the frontend , some aren't
[04:17:33] jya: for example, the file types , is global (at least with my existing setup),
[04:17:42] iamlindoro: yep, file types still global
[04:18:04] meatmanek: hooray I can see video

[04:19:57] iamlindoro: Dunno if it parses from path, though
[04:20:49] jya: nice stuff, if I had known that existed, I wouldn't have done anything on the find_meta.py scripts ... what a duplicate effort :(

[05:19:57] sphery: there's also some setting whose name I don't remember right now that allows you to tell mythbackend to always generated them
[05:20:02] jya: however, that the mythfrontend program starts the binary directly is not as elegant as say sending a message to the backend so it generates the preview
[05:20:30] sphery: if you check that checkbox it does
[05:20:38] sphery: of course, though, the backend then starts the binary directly
[05:20:43] sphery: to keep it out of the process space

[05:21:41] jya: sphery: do you knew where that settings is located ? on the frontend settings or mythtv-setup ?
[05:22:01] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, I think that setting went away, they should be always generated now. it's up to the theme whether to draw them or not now.
[05:22:07] GlemSom: wagnerrp, Then I wonder why MythTV choose to delete some of my recordings from last night, instead of some of those for two weeks ago. (both set to autoexpire)
[05:22:55] wagnerrp: the old recordings had a higher priority?

[05:31:36] iamlindoro: That's just a failed fanart image hunt, it's harmless
[05:31:41] iamlindoro: unrelated to screenshots
[05:31:59] Dassu: Actually it does have fairly good search function. But it is broken (I guess)
[05:32:04] sphery: I was thinking that was your recordings directory, but now that I read the dir name...  :) Sorry.
[05:32:05] Dassu: Can't take forever to fix
[05:33:01] jya: for the context: this is straight from my 0.21-fixes install, upgraded to trunk on the main machine, and Im yet to mythtv-setup
[05:36:50] sphery: Captain_Murdoch / iamlindoro : Could http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3086 have been a user who just needs to check "Do not adjust volume" ("Enable this option for budget BT878 based DVB-T cards such as the AverTV DVB-T which require the audio volume to be left alone.") or is that setting truly only effective for BT878 cards?
[05:38:06] jya: iamlindoro: with your Graphite theme, a pity that in the main menu, 90% of the screen isn't used
[05:42:16] jya: Still no preview in recordings :(. this is started on a frontend, separate from the main backend ... here is a copy of the logs: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1539881
[05:44:11] jya: I've set permissions on all directories to 777 just in case

[05:50:28] jya: sphery: enabling the "Generate preview image remotely" fixed the problem...
[05:52:54] jya: it creates the preview there however: /home/myth/.mythtv/remotecache/1003_20090714193000.mpg.png
[05:53:06] jya: so that's unique per frontend ... not nice
[05:54:18] jya: especially, as the frontend, has almost no disk space available

[06:33:26] Dagmar: Actually, I'm a triangle.
[06:36:09] psm321: :)
[06:36:30] psm321: i was trying to figure out how the menu internals work, but i think i have a lead to work with now :)
[06:36:45] Dagmar: You opened one in an editor?
[06:36:50] Dagmar: It's fairly transparent
[06:37:14] psm321: well more along the lines of the internal stuff since i'm trying to add a completely new menu action
[06:37:23] Dagmar: Ah okay
[06:37:30] Dagmar: That code is actually more readable than the rest IMHO
[06:37:35] psm321: i think i understand it, except the callback that i expect to get called isnt
[06:37:45] psm321: TVMenuCallback to be exact
[06:38:05] psm321: as far as i can tell (unless my VERBOSE isnt running), that doesnt get called
[06:38:09] meatmanek: gah, I can't figure out how to make my database available to other computers
[06:38:18] psm321: even though the MythThemedMenu calls its callback function
[06:38:25] Dagmar: meatmanek: You might actually wanna go to the mysql documentation for that
[06:38:48] Dagmar: meatmanek: It's pretty simple, once you're actually looking at the commands to do it.
[06:38:53] Dagmar: There's really only two things you need to do.
[06:39:30] Dagmar: The first is to make sure mysql is _actually_ using networking code. Lots of distros ship it with a configuration token named 'skip-networking' turned on for security's sake
[06:39:59] Dagmar: If that's _on_ it'll _only_ listen to the local Unix sockets which aren't accessible outside of that machine
[06:40:06] Dagmar: The other thing you'll want the mysql documentation for
[06:40:18] Dagmar: Access control in mysql isn't like other systems
[06:40:58] Dagmar: You'll probably need to look at the grant tables (that's what they're called) and add one that gives the mythtv user rights for more than just on localhost
[06:41:04] Dagmar: ...and they explain that bit
[06:41:14] mindoms (mindoms!n=stefan@93-82-91-66.adsl.highway.telekom.at) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:41:17] Dagmar: Other models you're familiar with are just username and password.
[06:41:38] Dagmar: ...for mysql, it _can_ be just username and password, but mainly it's user@hostmask and password which throws folks for a loop
[06:42:02] Dagmar: Their freakin wildcards for that aren't even what I would call 'normal'
[06:45:18] meatmanek: aaagh
[06:45:58] ** meatmanek reads **
[06:47:31] psm321: how do i compile with debugging symbols?
[06:48:20] Dagmar: Just make sure -g is in your CFLAGS
[06:48:31] Dagmar: ...and that you don't strip the binaries when they're compiled, of course.
[06:48:36] Dagmar: That's all there is to it.
[06:48:56] Dagmar: I guess since we're talking about MythTV and Qt you want to put -g in CXXFLAGS as well
[06:49:07] Dagmar: MOST of the time, that's just the default
[06:51:26] psm321: gah, i must be missing something really stupid here

[06:51:48] psm321: setCallback gets called, but the only place that ever calls it doesnt print anything with either a VERBOSE or a printf
[06:52:10] Dagmar: Did you nuke the stale objects before you recompiled
[06:52:59] psm321: nope, but those files do seem to get recompiled
[06:53:07] psm321: i guess in my next open window i could try that
[06:53:19] Dagmar: Like, if my printf's don't work I generally make sure I didn't screw up and forget to make clean
[06:53:29] Dagmar: It's pretty damn hard for those to fail
[06:53:52] Dagmar: mythfrontend certainly isn't closing it's output pipts and backgrounding or something
[06:54:20] psm321: well i havent been doing make clean because theoretically the makefile should do the right thing, but yeah i'll try that next time :)
[06:57:03] Dagmar: You forget. moc is involved.
[06:57:07] Dagmar: Never trust it. It's evil.
[06:57:14] psm321: ok
[06:57:16] psm321: thanks
[06:57:24] meatmanek: okay now I think I have my database set up correctly for remote access
[06:57:34] meatmanek: but it's telling me it can't connect to the backend server
[06:57:51] Dagmar: Backend server needs to be listening on a "real" IP
[06:57:55] meatmanek: it works fine on the same host
[06:57:59] psm321: umm
[06:58:05] ** psm321 slaps psm321 around with a small 50lb Unix Manual **
[06:58:06] meatmanek: I thought I changed that
[06:58:07] ** meatmanek checks **
[06:58:19] Dagmar: So, assuming you have it set up with a static IP address or can fake it, run mythtv-setup to change that
[06:58:47] ** psm321 slaps psm321 around with a small 50lb Unix Manual **
[06:59:05] psm321: wow, that was 45 minutes wasted... probably could have had this thing working by now
[06:59:18] Dagmar: What got left out?
[06:59:23] psm321: was running the wrong executable........
[06:59:25] meatmanek: it would be under General > Local Backend > IP Address and General > Master Backend > IP Address?
[06:59:36] Dagmar: If you find those options in that order, probably so
[06:59:50] Dagmar: psm321: Hah!
[06:59:52] psm321: was still seeing some things because they were in libraries
[07:00:06] psm321: yeah i know, stupid :(
[07:00:18] Dagmar: meatmanek: There's pretty much only one place in mythtv-setup where you set the backend's IP address
[07:00:32] meatmanek: yeah
[07:00:35] meatmanek: it's set to my hostname
[07:01:10] psm321: if you cant resolve that hostname from the other system it'll fail
[07:01:10] Dagmar: See if setting it to the IP fixes that
[07:01:47] Dagmar: I should probably go scribble up "How to use ISC's dhcpd" on the wiki or something
[07:02:02] psm321: this reminds me of a really ugly hack i had to do once when i needed 2 different systems to access the backend with a different IP
[07:02:14] Dagmar: Folks with a master backend might as well run the thing on it if they don't have a more useful DHCP server
[07:02:16] psm321: i forget why
[07:04:06] Dagmar: I can't even think of why you might
[07:04:52] meatmanek: gaah
[07:05:08] meatmanek: now when I hit watch tv, it goes to a black screen for 30 seconds or so
[07:05:15] meatmanek: and then returns to the menu with no error
[07:05:22] Dagmar: So now you check the logs
[07:05:27] meatmanek: ah now it's complaining about no master backend server
[07:06:04] meatmanek: well the real question is: where are the logs on the precompiled mac version =P
[07:07:15] meatmanek: I love how stable mythtv is
[07:08:23] meatmanek: hooray TV!
[07:09:31] meatmanek: okay, now to try getting digital tv working again
[07:10:08] psm321: Dagmar: i remember, i was trying to use a client from an external network without vpn (stupid i know, i did have some firewall rules at least)
[07:10:31] Dagmar: It's a mythtv box.
[07:10:47] Dagmar: Firewall rules would probably have been enough unless you were like, using a college LAN
[07:11:21] psm321: yeah
[07:11:36] psm321: but vpn makes network layout a lot simpler, especially for things like this
[07:12:12] psm321: so internal boxes needed to access backend via internal 10.* ip , and external needed to go via a global ip

[07:16:41] psm321: since they mostly deal with my crazy number of recordings
[07:17:12] psm321: (the one i'm working on right now is a way to get a quicker watch recordings option by only pulling the last 1000 recordings)
[07:17:26] Dagmar: Good lord
[07:17:38] Dagmar: Hmm...
[07:17:56] Dagmar: Proabbly the better way to do that would require an assumption about how many things can be displayed "right now"

[07:54:10] juski: s/no/little

[07:56:44] meatmanek: fair enough
[07:56:52] meatmanek: I should start reporting every crash I get
[07:57:01] meatmanek: that'll either get results or get me banned from the bug tracker =P

[09:29:23] juski: transcode twice? Jees you really must not want good quality
[09:31:42] sebrock: ok, I see now that the nuv files actually are xvid
[09:31:45] juski: have a user job do it to xvid directly
[09:32:15] sebrock: err divx
[09:32:29] juski: no, the nuv files are mpeg4 video & mp3 audio in a nuppelvideo & container
[09:32:58] sebrock: yes, VLC recognized it as divx though
[09:33:36] juski: but VLC is wrong :P
[09:33:51] sebrock: so how can I set it to compress say about 1 hour to about 500–600 mb
[09:34:23] sebrock: right now the transcoding took about 5 seconds so I don't thing any encoding was really done
[09:34:33] juski: you can only transcode to MJPEG (with mp3 audio) or mpeg4 (with mp3 audio) in mythtranscode – or chop mpeg2 'losslessly'
[09:34:51] juski: maybe it just remuxed it into a new container
[09:35:15] sebrock: right, so then I'll have to use ffmpeg and convert it again as I said in my first post, or is this wrong?
[09:35:36] juski: I'd make a user job to do it in one go
[09:35:51] juski: the path of least long term effort :)
[09:35:53] sebrock: could you explain the basic steps?
[09:36:02] juski: no. check duh wiki

[11:10:51] laga: GuySoft: does this happen with all recordings? did it work with 0.21 with this specific recording?
[11:10:54] juski: try ffplay with it – ffplay from ffmpeg's svn
[11:11:09] laga: yeah, that is also a very good suggestion

[11:11:23] GuySoft: laga, no, the problem presists
[11:11:23] laga: ah
[11:11:55] juski: laga: vlc plays it but who knows what build he's got
[11:12:08] GuySoft: juski, so download and recompile ffmpeg?
[11:12:26] GuySoft: juski, i got the build from debian-multimedia.org..
[11:12:31] juski: GuySoft: I thought you'd solved the issue anyway
[11:12:41] juski: you were only left with prebuffering pauses, IIRC
[11:13:13] GuySoft: juski, i got sound, but it made the cpu go up to 100%, and the images froze periodically every second or so
[11:13:34] juski: like uh.. with the LATM patch
[11:13:42] juski: that was the *right* way to go
[11:13:48] GuySoft: juski, i found no way of overcoming the prebuffering, i think the patch is the route of them.
[11:14:12] juski: but it's your ONLY way to play back ANY audio from your streams so far
[11:14:38] GuySoft: juski, was it? i thought it only made people here annoyed that i am using un-supported patches
[11:14:43] juski: which means you cannot continue to use pre-built mythtv
[11:15:10] GuySoft: juski, i rather let it record normaly, and play on VLC. because if the patch is applied, then the recording jumps as well.
[11:15:18] juski: when mythtv has the bits of ffmpeg which support LATM synced into it, it'll support it
[11:15:29] juski: until then, you have no chance
[11:15:45] juski: the recording shouldn't jump
[11:15:58] juski: the LATM patch doesn't do anything to the recorded streams AFAIK
[11:16:01] GuySoft: juski, also, if i help locate what is needed in trunk, then next version, this might actually be solved

[12:42:49] GuySoft: myhtv**
[12:48:38] juski: getting svn trunk of ffmpeg will not help you
[12:48:49] juski: it still reports the audio stream as type DATA

[12:50:53] juski: it's not a task for the faint-hearted

[12:51:21] laga: what about those existing latm patches?
[12:51:29] GuySoft: juski, is anyone in mythtv planning to do this?
[12:51:44] juski: laga: it made playback within mythtv work but he was getting prebuffering pauses

[12:51:53] juski: laga: probably nothing to do with the patch though
[12:52:21] juski: but there's a hard line here – nobody using unsupported patches is helped
[12:52:28] GuySoft: laga, the latm patches give audio, but create a buffer overflow
[12:52:48] juski: ordinary audio playback can cause audio buffer overflows
[12:52:52] GuySoft: juski, it is, because i can play other audio stuff. even now.
[12:52:56] juski: if you've not configured your system right
[12:53:31] GuySoft: juski, but if i play normal audio files, i dont get a buffer overflow

[12:54:46] juski: that doesn't mean anything
[12:55:18] juski: on my old frontend, I used to see buffer overflows on a lot of recordings, and it played ordinary mpeg just fine
[12:55:45] juski: try setting the 'use extra audio bufferring' setting in mythfrontend
[12:55:54] juski: or if that is already set, try UNsetting it
[12:56:05] GuySoft: juski, this person says it works , look: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/347674 right at the endf
[12:56:05] GuySoft: When I installed faad2 and faac, for some reason MythTV would not use the > codec, even though they appeared in the ldd command. So, I download the
[12:56:08] GuySoft: > source for both of these, built, and installed it. Now, I rebuilt MythTV and installed it, and now it works like a charm.
[12:56:16] juski: and if 'use aggressive audio buffering' is set, UNSET it
[12:56:26] juski: GuySoft: mythtv doesn't use codecs. It cannot
[12:56:35] juski: *external* codecs are of NO USE to mythtv
[12:56:48] juski: everything it uses is built into libavcodec

[13:05:26] juski: like I said, you are boned
[13:06:12] juski: your best option right now – and for the short term future – is to use the LATM patch and TRY to get your audio buffering settings right
[13:07:05] juski: if you cannot, then you might aswell just let mythbackend do all the recording, use a script like mythrename (with the --link option) and share the resulting symbolic links on your network – then use VLC

[18:33:04] wagnerrp: it also comes with an obligatory web browser
[18:33:07] sebrock: the pain is the GUI and interface to the user alone. Sitting with a remote browsing music sucks.
[18:33:19] juski: it needn't
[18:33:58] juski: the recent improvements in mythvideo have shown how good things can be if we use the metadata we already have more effectively
[18:34:02] sebrock: The remote will always be a showstopper as it lacks the alphabetical stuff. Sure there is virtual keyboards but how fast and enjoyable is that
[18:34:32] wagnerrp: sebrock: so use a diamond keyboard
[18:34:48] juski: t9 entry is a waste of time IMHO
[18:35:04] juski: so few remotes have the alphabet on the number keys
[18:36:12] juski: in the past too many people have *whined* about features but the amount of folks who actually came up with a *workable* *plan* with decent outlines of how things would work.. you can count those on ONE HAND
[18:36:52] sebrock: wagnerrp, I'm just pointing out what I feel is the big issue
[18:36:54] juski: and FWIW the excuse "muh, I can't code" doesn't wash with me
[18:37:05] juski: nobody is born with C++ fu
[18:37:05] wagnerrp: diamond keyboard just uses the 5-way

[18:37:42] juski: there are a multitude of ways you could have an alphabetic search facility
[18:37:49] wagnerrp: its three presses to any letter
[18:38:07] juski: wagnerrp: try training a wife to do that
[18:38:35] sebrock: juski, I got the export working. Was a bug in the ubuntu packages. However my files get these names when running my jobs: %t_-__00_(08).avi
[18:38:45] messerting: Hi folks, I'm trying to configure my pretty newly cleaned mythtv installation, but my backend complains about "Could not connect to server "" @ port -1"
[18:38:46] FR^2 (FR^2!n=frquadra@frquadrat.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:38:54] juski: a bug, meaning they don't supply a decent ffmpeg with all the stuff you need enabled

[18:39:07] juski: ooo software patents!
[18:39:28] sebrock: no juski, ffmpeg changed it's options. It was fixed in trunk 5 months ago :P
[18:39:49] juski: sebrock: but xvid & mp3 are disabled in ubuntu's ffmpeg packages

[18:40:24] sebrock: yes, but I enabled it when compiling. It was the ffmpeg options that took some time
[18:40:35] CoreDump|cf-18: are there any working PCIe DVB-T dual tuners?
[18:40:36] wagnerrp: the backend doesnt care about the frontend
[18:40:50] wagnerrp: and the frontend cannot exist until the backend is brought online
[18:40:50] juski: sebrock: ah so you built it yourself. About the only way to get the options you need to do anything *useful*
[18:41:02] juski: CoreDump|cf-18: try the wiki at linuxtv.org
[18:41:12] juski: one or two are listed there. YMMV
[18:41:35] wagnerrp: i believe the HVR-2200 should work
[18:41:39] messerting: wagnerrp: hm ok, need to check my settings..
[18:41:50] CoreDump|cf-18: the wiki lists the HVR-1200 but it is a single tuner card and I'm rapidly running out of PCI/PCIe slots =)
[18:41:54] juski: I wish Hauppauge would do more dual tuner cards rather than all that hybrid crap they keep churning out
[18:41:57] sebrock: juski, http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/369219
[18:42:02] wagnerrp: although the drivers were independent of v4l-dvb for now
[18:42:24] juski: CoreDump|cf-18: if you get desperate, there's the DVB-T HDHR
[18:42:38] juski: or (eek!) USB but I wouldn't trust that as far as I could throw it
[18:42:43] wagnerrp: i know the HVR-2250 (dual ATSC/QAM) tuner is supported, i believe the 2200 is picked up with the same drivers

[18:44:59] juski: CoreDump|cf-18: decent mobos with real PCI in good numbers are still available. you just have to look hard
[18:45:46] wagnerrp: and you can always get an (expensive) expansion backplane
[18:46:18] juski: cheaper than the expansion backplane would be to build slave backend machine(s)
[18:46:40] wagnerrp: yeah, you can pick up an old 32-bit AthXP or P4 for not much
[18:46:43] wagnerrp: turn off the jobqueue
[18:46:49] CoreDump|cf-18: wagnerrp: ouch, the 2200 is a quad tuner card (2x analog, 2x dvb-t)
[18:46:50] CoreDump|cf-18: juski: yeah, but I didn't built the machine with a media center in mind. It was meant to be my buildmachine for s/w builds\
[18:47:07] wagnerrp: and now with the upcoming 0.22, independently standby the slave backend when not in use
[18:47:11] juski: time for some realism then :D
[18:47:18] wagnerrp: CoreDump|cf-18: no, it is a dual hybrid tuner
[18:47:34] wagnerrp: you have two tuners, and each can operated in either analog or digital mode
[18:47:41] wagnerrp: however the analog mode is not currently supported
[18:47:47] juski: I'm trying to burn a new distro CD to install linux on my old desktop machine. K3B is being an ass though
[18:48:04] CoreDump|cf-18: If I ever get to it, I'll build a dedicated mythbox with a nice living-room friendly case
[18:48:30] wagnerrp: juski: honestly, windows is the only OS disk ive burned in the last 4 years
[18:49:04] juski: GuySoft: I don't know/care. I am not your personal support monkey
[18:49:19] CoreDump|cf-18: thanks for the suggestions, for the time being, I will investigate the HVR-2200 =)
[18:49:20] wagnerrp: everything else, i have have a network boot image for installations
[18:49:36] wagnerrp: CoreDump|cf-18: make sure it is actually supported before buying one
[18:49:42] wagnerrp: i dont know for certain
[18:50:30] juski: GuySoft: what I DO know is that you've never been able to specify an external player for mythtv's RECORDINGS
[18:50:38] juski: and you STILL cannot
[18:51:20] juski: I told you you could probably fix the prebuffering pause problem if you set your mind to it, then you can use the LATM patch

[18:58:05] wagnerrp: unless he actually means sebrock
[18:58:07] GuySoft: juski, i am trying to figure out where the prebuffring error is coming from, but i really need guidance. i am not that much of a developer ye
[18:58:23] GuySoft: yet*
[18:58:44] messerting: So, I'm running both the frontend and the backend on the same machine, and keep getting lockups (3–10secs) and the following in the backend log: " RemoteFile::openSocket(control socket): Could not connect to server "" @ port -1"
[18:59:06] messerting: Do I need to allow for remote logins to my mysql server?
[18:59:11] GuySoft: juski, i thought i might try and see if i get the prebuffer error in trunk, but i have problems getting the patch to compile in trunk, i tried manually patching it.. and see if there are any errors, but still no luck
[18:59:17] wagnerrp: do you have remote systems?
[18:59:31] messerting: I do have a laptop that once was connected, but not now
[18:59:37] sebrock: what
[19:00:07] wagnerrp: if you have remote systems, or connect to the mysql server through the network address (not localhost), you need remote access
[19:00:32] messerting: ok, but why am I getting this while no remote systems are connected?
[19:00:51] messerting: could it be because I've set the IP address and not the hostname in the config?
[19:01:07] wagnerrp: in the mysql config, or mythtv-setup?
[19:01:30] messerting: in mythtv-setup I've used the IP address, but in the frontend setup I used the hostname...
[19:01:49] CoreDump|cf-18: messerting: server "" @ port -1" sounds like your local backend is not configured correctly
[19:01:49] CoreDump|cf-18: try replacing localhost with the actual IP of mzsql
[19:01:59] wagnerrp: mysql setup can use the hostname or ip address
[19:02:11] wagnerrp: anything pointing to the backend MUST be an ip address
[19:02:49] messerting: so, I'll try to change the frontend settings to IP address, thanks – brb :)
[19:03:47] GuySoft: juski, is there a way to debug mythtv in a usable way?
[19:04:14] GuySoft: juski, because all the errors dont help me find the line in the code

[19:09:18] sphery: messerting: that guy's DB was broken by his manually editing the data inside it. If you haven't been editing the DB directly, your system should /not/ be similarly broken.
[19:10:00] messerting: sphery: ok, thanks – I wiped the db today and started from scratch. haven't edited anything manually
[19:10:02] sphery: messerting: please pastebin the output of: mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e "SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value LIKE '%ServerIP%';
[19:10:03] tame: is a tv capture card all i need to use mythtv? or is there some other preferred hardware?
[19:10:58] sphery: tame: tv capture card required for using the tv portion of myth (and myth probably isn't a good choice if you're not doing tv)
[19:11:42] tame: i want to setup a home dvr. we have cable.
[19:12:21] messerting: sphery: hm – there is a NULL there!: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1540714
[19:12:59] sphery: tame: nvidia video cards tend to be easiest to set up, you /need/ a video card whose drivers support Xv at the least. You probably want a good Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 around 2.6Ghz (or better, better) or so for HDTV (and, IMHO, don't want to build a system for SDTV at this point)
[19:13:20] sphery: messerting: yep, that looks good
[19:13:51] messerting: sphery: ok – so there should be a NULL there, I see :)
[19:14:13] sphery: messerting: I'm guessing that you're just one of the users affected by the socket issue and it's eventually giving up and messing up and trying a garbage connection
[19:14:36] sphery: i.e. you have other failed attempts before the one you mention, and they're actually trying to hit the right server
[19:15:13] messerting: sphery: hm, okay – so I restart mythbackend and then look for the first error message?
[19:15:35] messerting: it could be "ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL: '1002_20090823205600.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found."
[19:15:41] messerting: I get alot of those..
[19:16:29] sphery: the first socket error
[19:16:43] sphery: i.e. if you get socket errors before any other errors, you're probably affected

[19:18:37] messerting: but that error was from 7 hours ago, and I've restarted mythbackend several times since then
[19:19:02] sphery: one option is to try trunk--daniel has recently committed the first change to the socket code intended to fix the issue
[19:19:18] sphery: of course, the one he committed is the least important change

[19:19:59] sphery: messerting: but you may want to keep looking to see if it's something easier
[19:20:09] Wicked: ive been using 0.21-fixes on ubuntu9.04 and i have not seen any socket errors

[19:23:33] juski: GuySoft: ok. Regarding the prebuffering pause problems. It's not likely to be caused by any change to the code. Try changing the buffering settings for audio in mythfrontend. I have suggested that several times and you have *never* said you'd tried that

[20:20:50] jst_home: or neither? :)
[20:20:51] abqjp: I have one of each
[20:21:05] jst_home: ah, ok... and that converter works in both?
[20:21:11] abqjp: Yup.
[20:21:15] jst_home: cool!
[20:21:17] jst_home: thanks!
[20:21:39] abqjp: Make sure the USB is plugged into the Hxx at the time you turn the Hxx on, or it may not recognize it.
[20:22:38] jst_home: abqjp: yeah, I guessed that might be the case, so last night I pulled the plug in the H21 with the USB plugged in, but still no luck :(
[20:22:51] lcase (lcase!n=lcase@p5B0EA662.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit ()
[20:22:52] galorin: quick question before venturing into the unknown.. just how well supported is swsusp2 + mythtv?
[20:23:13] jst_home: abqjp: do you happen to know what baudrate you're using with the channel changer scripts? I tried both 115200 and 9600, but nothing...
[20:23:20] Wicked: i wish there was way to make mythtv aware of if the cable box is off or on. turns out we lost power a few days ago...computers are on a UPS so they stayed on......got blank recordings for all my shows all week :(
[20:23:20] abqjp: jst_home, I then had to come up with udev rules to reliably "name" the USB->serial adaptor on the linux box based on which port it was plugged into.
[20:23:23] kyler: I just upgraded to 0.22.0~trunk21333–0ubuntu1 and now when I go to "Watch Recordings" I get no listings and there
[20:23:23] kyler: is "%["SUBTITLE"]"% %STARS% %DESCRIPTION%" at the bottom.
[20:23:46] jst_home: abqjp: so I'm guessing the el chapo converters I got just don't work with the STBs
[20:24:03] jst_home: abqjp: ah, yeah, I was wondering that too, as down the road I'll most likely have two...
[20:24:42] nighthawk: do the stbs read rs232?
[20:24:44] abqjp: jst_home, http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1540802
[20:25:01] abqjp: nighthawk, the Directv STBs have USB ports

[20:25:16] nighthawk: oh, I see
[20:25:52] abqjp: nighthawk, one of the reasons I went with Directv instead of Dish --- I wanted reliable channel changes.
[20:26:20] nighthawk: db9 ports are fading into history
[20:26:44] abqjp: jst_home, the problem has nothing to do with the "cheapness" of the USB converter, but how old it is. You need OLD converters, because the Directv STBs don't have drivers for new ones.
[20:28:23] abqjp: jst_home, in that script I pasted, "/dev/hdpvrChannel0" is what I call the device to talk to my first HD-PVR, via a udev rule.
[20:29:31] abqjp: jst_home, http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p . . . l-Categories
[20:30:58] jst_home: abqjp: hard to argue with those prices :)

[20:31:47] abqjp: jst_home, I cannot guarantee that that model still works, but it did 7 months ago.
[20:32:11] jst_home: abqjp: for that price I'm willing to risk it :)
[20:32:38] kyler: If I try to change my group filter I see the filters in my database so I think the connection is alright. It's just not showing the listing.
[20:33:05] abqjp: jst_home, Manufacturers sometimes change the internal chips they are using.
[20:34:20] jst_home: abqjp: per the DTV docs I found, the listed devices that are supported are all vendorID/productID 0x067B/0x2303
[20:34:34] jst_home: abqjp: yeah, I could see that
[20:34:52] jst_home: abqjp: so it seems they might simply have one driver that they support, maybe
[20:36:09] jst_home: hmm, interesting... the converters I have are: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
[20:36:28] jst_home: I wonder if my serial adapter between the two converters isn't what I think it is
[20:36:33] abqjp: jst_home, I have a few Sabrent SBT-USC1M which work great. Ordered a couple of more, and the new ones don't. Sabrent switched from the PL2303 to the PL2303X and the Directv STBs don't like the X version.
[20:37:21] jst_home: hmm, they do seem picky then...
[20:37:22] abqjp: jst_home, I can't try it now, because I don't have them anymore, but my memory is that even the X version just showed up as PL2303 in the Linux log.
[20:37:43] jst_home: abqjp: oh, interesting
[20:38:03] jst_home: abqjp: do you remember how you knew that they were the X version and not the PL2303 ones?
[20:38:34] jst_home: abqjp: was it clear from looking at the device, or could linux somehow tell?
[20:38:51] wagnerrp: another HDHR lib sync... ill have to see how recording off freebsd is doing later tonight
[20:38:57] abqjp: I complained to Sabrent when they did not work, and Sabrent explained that they had changed the chips. Sabrent was nice enough to exchange for older stock. I don't think they have any older stock left at this point.
[20:39:40] jst_home: ah, ok
[20:39:57] abqjp: wagnerrp, saw that. Can't decide to jump on it, or wait for someone else to verify it works ;-)
[20:40:22] wagnerrp: 0.21 worked fine with freebsd
[20:40:44] wagnerrp: but trunk outright refused to work until a month or so ago, an then it was buggy
[20:41:03] abqjp: jst_home, but then I found that the Dynex worked, so I ordered a hand-full of those as backups in case it became hard to find working units.

[20:41:48] jst_home: abqjp: ok, I'll get some of those and see if they still work. Thanks for your input here!
[20:41:55] wagnerrp: yeah, i bought up a bunch of generic PL2303s about a month ago when someone had the for a couple dollars apiece
[20:42:13] abqjp: jst_home, let me know.
[20:42:18] jst_home: abqjp: you bet
[20:42:34] abqjp: wagnerrp, that work with the Directv STBs?
[20:42:43] wagnerrp: dont have a DTV stb

[20:44:43] kyler: All I see is "%["SUBTITLE"]"% %STARS% %DESCRIPTION%" at the bottom.
[20:45:11] abqjp: kyler, sounds like mythbackend is not running. Or is a different version than the frontend.
[20:45:14] wagnerrp: 1TB WDs at target for $50
[20:45:26] abqjp: Target sells HDs?
[20:45:28] kyler: abqjp: I just upgraded both to 0.22.0~trunk21333–0ubuntu1.
[20:45:37] wagnerrp: its an external drive
[20:45:41] thedarkone: hey all
[20:45:57] abqjp: kyler, check your mythbackend logs to make sure it upgraded the DB successfully.
[20:45:57] thedarkone: i tring to get serial port channel changer to work
[20:46:23] thedarkone: channel: /dev/ttyS0: Resource temporarily unavailable is what i get
[20:47:06] kyler: abqjp: It didn't upgrade successfully for a long time. I finally got the schema straight. I just noticed "DB Error (ProgramList::FromRecorded): [...] No error type from QSqlError? Strange..." Indeed, that is strange.
[20:47:18] abqjp: thedarkone, try something like "setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none"
[20:47:44] kyler: I tried the query manually and it works fine.
[20:47:54] wagnerrp: and a $20 off $200 on newegg... if you use paypal
[20:48:01] wagnerrp: im surprised newegg even takes paypal
[20:49:11] abqjp: kyler, don't know. I would probably try restarting the backend, then the frontend and see what happens.
[20:51:21] kyler: abqjp: I've restarted a couple times. I'm not seeing that "strange" error now but I'm still not getting a listing.
[20:52:05] abqjp: kyler, sorry, I have not had that problem except for when the frontend and backend where out of sync. I have no idea why it is not working for you.
[20:52:20] abqjp: s/where/were/
[20:52:36] abqjp: kyler, unless mysql is not running?
[20:52:38] jst_home: abqjp: I'm having trouble updating the wiki page... I created an account, activated it n' all, but the wiki says I don't have permission to edit the HD-PVR page on the wiki :(
[20:52:55] jst_home: abqjp: know who I could talk to about that?
[20:53:02] abqjp: jst_home, I think you have to re-login.
[20:53:21] jst_home: I even did that... trying one more time
[20:53:22] abqjp: jst_home, iamlindoro is the king of the wiki.

[21:08:38] wagnerrp: usually comes with an MCE remote, or none at all (instead of the standard hauppauge grey)
[21:08:39] ball: What's a passable PCI (or PCIe) ATSC tuner card?
[21:08:55] juski: ball: see the linuxtv.org wiki & the mythtv wiki
[21:09:16] ** ball bravely launches a Web browser **
[21:09:23] wagnerrp: also can come with a radio tuner, and has red/white audio inputs instead of a 1/8" jack
[21:09:39] cityLights: hmm
[21:09:51] ball: wagnerrp: wouldn't they be audio /outputs/ ?
[21:09:59] juski: ball: no
[21:10:01] wagnerrp: its a capture card, theyre inputs
[21:10:19] ball: Oh okay, I thought he was talking about a stand-alone radio tuner
[21:10:21] cityLights: other then that all th same?
[21:10:23] juski: it's a *proper* capture card. it encodes audio AND video on the same card
[21:10:42] wagnerrp: cityLights: for myth's purposes, there is no difference between the two
[21:11:11] cityLights: thanks
[21:11:15] juski: GuySoft: I have some good news for you. The LATM patch has been committed in trunk just now. Knock yourself out. If you still get prebuffering pauses, that's an ALSA issue or you've configured mythfrontend wrongly
[21:11:42] ball: linuxtv.org appears at first glance to be mostly about DVB
[21:11:52] wagnerrp: ball: thats what you asked for
[21:11:58] juski: ball: there's info about ATSC/QAM tuners too
[21:12:01] ball: If there's ATSC stuff, I'm going to have to mine for it
[21:12:06] juski: awww
[21:12:09] ball: juski: thanks
[21:12:17] wagnerrp: all digital tuners get lumped into the DVB subsystem in linux
[21:12:29] juski: look at it this way, doing a bit of research is going to stop you wasting your money!
[21:12:47] cityLights: right....

[21:13:46] wagnerrp: some enhancement to AC3, or maybe AAC

[21:17:10] juski: you should see a sample of the video GuySoft posted earlier today. 2Mbit/sec 720x576 h.264. Looked awful
[21:17:59] wagnerrp: awful? 2mbps standard definition h264 should look great
[21:18:02] juski: wagnerrp: nah they use it on TV broadcasts too, much to the chagrin of many a user
[21:18:06] juski: wagnerrp: exactly
[21:18:18] juski: looked like it'd been through too many encode/decode cycles IMHO
[21:18:30] iamlindoro: in fairness, that country has been doing DVB for exactly 22 days
[21:18:38] iamlindoro: give them a day or two to get it right ;)
[21:18:42] wagnerrp: i mean my dvdrips usually only run 1–1.5mbps
[21:18:51] juski: the non-moving parts of the picture looked like a JPEG with compression whacked up
[21:19:03] juski: 22 days?!
[21:19:12] ball: Does MythTV record the MPEG2 stream from ATSC directly to disk, or does it (can it) transcode on the fly?
[21:19:15] wagnerrp: with no perceivable (to me anyway) difference from the source DVD
[21:19:17] juski: so there'll only be about 2 STBs in the whole of the country then
[21:19:18] GuySoft: juski, hey, i didnt get the chance to reply before, i did play quite a lot with the audio prebuffer options
[21:19:18] iamlindoro: juski, and only in trials
[21:19:20] juski: ball: the former
[21:19:32] GuySoft: juski, i gave up on trunk, so i am moving back to 0.21
[21:19:32] iamlindoro: juski, and only in one city... so yeah :)
[21:19:33] wagnerrp: ball: mythtv only encodes from framegrabbers
[21:19:35] juski: GuySoft: anyway, it's in trunk now. Good luck
[21:19:35] ball: juski: Ah good, thanks.
[21:19:38] wagnerrp: everything else is just a file copy
[21:19:46] juski: GuySoft: as in do an svn up
[21:19:55] wagnerrp: and you dont want to use a framegrabber
[21:19:59] GuySoft: juski, i got some annoying problems there because latm_partser.c needs bitstream.h. which is not in trunk
[21:19:59] ball: (thanks wagnerrp too)
[21:20:15] iamlindoro: as juski mentioned, trunk no longer requires any patching for LATM
[21:20:20] juski: GuySoft: the whole thing is now in trunk and it works, or it wouldn't have been committed
[21:20:25] iamlindoro: as of... 10 or so minutes ago
[21:20:25] ball: wagnerrp: I have one of those, but it's pointless since the transition from NTSC to ATSC for terrestrial television here.
[21:20:33] GuySoft: iamlindoro, you wanted to see our terrible codec output?
[21:20:46] juski: GuySoft: and in future PLEASE just ask for help generally in channel. I won't always be around

[21:26:13] kyler: iamlindoro: Hey, I'd even use Paypal (which I detest) if it meant getting my "upgraded" system back online.
[21:26:36] GuySoft: iamlindoro, ill re-checkout .. just so it will look ok
[21:26:47] iamlindoro: kyler, it's the wrong weekend to be looking for help, many of us are trying to get last minute things done before Myth's feature freeze
[21:27:02] iamlindoro: so you're left to the tender mercies of this channel, god help you
[21:27:03] GuySoft: done a lot of file edits, just in case something was left
[21:27:11] kyler: iamlindoro: Yeah, I understand. I'm trying to figure out how easily I can revert.

[21:28:56] ball: Blimey, some of these cards have dual tuners on them. Does it take a lot of processing power to record two DTV streams at once, perhaps while playing back a third from disk?
[21:29:48] kyler: ball: I have four PVR-150s in my backend and I've played while recording on all of them.
[21:30:01] kyler: DTV, though? You mean HDTV?
[21:30:14] iamlindoro: he means digital TV
[21:30:17] ball: kyler: Would it be sensible to go for a multicore CPU for that kind of box?
[21:30:25] iamlindoro: ball, recording digital television takes next to no processing power to record
[21:30:49] iamlindoro: as in, you could do it on ancient hardware, so long as you had the disk bandwidth to write the (trivial sized) streams
[21:30:53] GuySoft: iamlindoro, before i waste an hour , i am using: ./configure --enable-proc-opt --enable-opengl-video --disable-directfb --enable-libfaad .. scream if anything is worng
[21:31:03] kyler: ball: Get multicore for handling commercial processing and stuff (like software RAID).
[21:31:42] ball: Hmm... does L2 (and L3) cache size make much of a difference?
[21:31:55] ball: (does it contribute to this kind of application)?
[21:32:10] iamlindoro: for recording, not in the slightest
[21:33:15] ball: ...for playback?
[21:33:40] iamlindoro: it helps, though not in any game-changing way
[21:33:51] ball: Thanks
[21:33:51] iamlindoro: not such that I would shop by cache size, anyway
[21:34:08] ball: For front end, would a Sempron 140 or perhaps an Atom suffice?
[21:34:27] iamlindoro: depends what you're hoping to play
[21:34:45] ball: I suppose the video hardware in question would make a difference too.
[21:34:52] iamlindoro: would probably struggle mightily, especially if you hope to play anything besides SD streams
[21:34:58] ball: iamlindoro: mostly SD stuff I think
[21:35:16] iamlindoro: I would personally buy better hardware than that
[21:35:28] kyler: BTW, I think I might be getting some of these...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500027
[21:35:37] iamlindoro: at *least* an ION box if you want atom hardware, but for my money a decent C2D will be better
[21:36:19] ball: iamlindoro: Okay, so even for just a "front end" (which I think is the "set-top box" player) I should go for something with more OOMPH?

[21:36:59] iamlindoro: depends on whether you intend to rely on hardware decode (VDPAU)... i personally would buy for the case that it fails/does not deal well w/ damaged streams, as it often does
[21:37:39] ** ball goes away to look up VDPAU **
[21:37:42] josh_: Is there a way to do a kind of "reverse X forwarding" ? I want to run something on my frontend's display by logging into SSH from a remote machine
[21:38:03] kyler: josh_: x2x
[21:38:17] ball: josh_: can't you just specify the local X server?
[21:38:20] kyler: kyler: And that's only if you want to control the X program remotely.
[21:38:22] AndyCap: josh_: is the software on the machine you're logging into or your own?
[21:38:27] ball: (local to the set-top box that is)
[21:38:37] josh_: AndyCap, they're both my machines on the local network
[21:38:46] josh_: Anduin, my frontend doesnt have a keyboard / mouse.

[21:39:33] AndyCap: josh_: DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer for instance?
[21:39:49] AndyCap: if you're the same user as the one logged in xauth shouldn't give you any trouble
[21:39:52] josh_: ball, that' seems logical, any to specify it in a bash variable so it's always done?
[21:40:09] ball: josh_: $DISPLAY?

[22:01:25] GreyFoxx: I wish he would fix his quoting... though to be fair is is better now than when he started posting :)
[22:02:26] iamlindoro: Dibblah, bravo for that response
[22:02:45] iamlindoro: have been thinking/saying the same to myself for a long time :)
[22:03:03] Dibblah: It's been annoying me ever since he joined the list :(
[22:03:09] iamlindoro: I'm baffled at what he expects from those tickets
[22:03:40] iamlindoro: patches for .18, and the more invasive one does something a dev (kormoc + sphery) already explained to him on the list is an awful idea
[22:04:23] ** Dibblah feels sorry for sphery – "However, as I get /only/ OTA broadcasts in the US, none of them actually contain any nudity." **

[22:11:45] Shadow__X: sorry about that

[22:13:41] iamlindoro: that's some anguished enguish
[22:14:51] Dibblah: to all intense purposes...
[22:15:11] laga: '(w|c)ould of' is way more annoying because 'of' is already a word, as opposed to 'cos'
